In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the host talks about his love of coffee with his good friend and co-worker Evan. They talk about Evan's obsession with the stuff, how he makes it, and what it's like to go skydiving in a helmet made by a professional skydiver. Joe also talks about how he got his name tattooed on his head, and why he doesn't want to do it again. Also, he talks about the time he almost died in a car crash and how he's going to get revenge on the guy who did it to him, and how much he's paying for the helmet he got from Black Rifle, a company that makes the best coffee in the world. And he also explains why he's not going to stop drinking coffee and how to make your life better by drinking it the old fashioned way, which is with a cup of coffee and a glass of water. Joe also gives us some tips on how we can make better coffee and why we should all make better decisions with our money and how we should be doing better with our time and our money.

00:01:19.000Yeah, so when he was both in group and at the agency, he would take, you know, we have discretionable funds that you can spend on whatever, and area improvement is an appropriate way for you to spend money.
00:01:32.000So he would buy like a $20,000 espresso machine.
00:01:36.000And, you know, a $3,000 grinder in some middle-of-nowhere Ford operating base where he's making coffee and, like, just being a total nerd.
00:02:17.000The lab that he has set up at Black Rifle?
00:02:19.000Yeah, he made me do one of the little tastes where they do this thing with the spoon, and then you have to smell it first, and you have to do something with your tongue.
00:02:28.000And I was like, what are we doing here?
00:03:15.000I was supposed to be skydiving all last week, but I was in Israel.
00:03:18.000And then, so I had to move it to the right, because we're doing this Moab jump with a bunch of your friends, Mike Sorelli and Mike Glover and Evan and...
00:03:29.000So I like, I need to brush off, knock off the dust a little bit.
00:03:33.000So I, Evan, and he sends me this like super fancy designed helmet from Black Rifle, a skydive helmet, a G3 for, just like, just sent it to me.
00:03:44.000You know, and I was like, all right, this is really cool.
00:03:47.000You know, I'll be skydiving with this helmet that is way above my ability because I'm just total sky trash.
00:05:05.000And you can't imagine what that sound...
00:05:08.000Like, you imagine what that sound would be until you hear it, and that was a watermelon with bone slamming against metal, which was a human, which is now nothing.
00:05:28.000140. So if you're in a dive position, you're going 160 to 200 miles an hour.
00:05:35.000And if you're stable flying, maybe 140. 160. Yeah, so when you're navigating like he was, I bet he was going 140, 150 miles an hour.
00:05:48.000Jesus, which really makes you appreciate nature and evolution, that the Perrigan Falcon does like, what does it do, like 220 or something insane?
00:05:57.000And can change on a dime, just like flip.
00:06:00.000It says you can go up to 220 horizontally.
00:07:13.000Every time I think that I'm good at something, then you go with somebody that's actually good at that thing, and then you're just like, I'm so trash.
00:07:21.000Yeah, I thought I knew how to drive a car until I got lessons, and I'm like, oh, I suck at driving, too.
00:10:19.000I split my effort in a week almost evenly between grappling, striking, physical development, strength, speed, and then that long recovery, longevity aspect of it.
00:10:32.000That's how my week is broken into for my training.
00:10:35.000You almost have to treat your body like a pit crew.
00:10:38.000You really have to change your fucking tires.
00:12:06.000I shot through one of my archery targets and it hit the wood in the back and I was inspecting my arrow and I saw this little tiny fine line along the side of it and I was like, you're done.
00:14:16.000Because they just passed some new fucking legislation where they're allowed to...
00:14:20.000The whole idea is it's under the guise of Canadian content, because they have a Canadian content law where you have to have a certain amount of Canadian-based content on the radio and television and stuff like that.
00:14:34.000You can't just have all stuff from all over the world, whatever people like.
00:14:37.000You have to have like a certain percentage of it has to be Canadian.
00:14:40.000And so under the guise of that, but really it's Trudeau trying to enforce censorship on podcasts because...
00:14:47.000They always do it in the cover and every dangerous...
00:15:38.000He's opposed to regulations with guns because he's like regulations are the first step that they take and the ultimate goal is to remove your gun so we will not have Regulations like he's talking about this like in 2010 or 2011 I mean,
00:15:55.000he was following a playbook, so he absolutely didn't believe that, though, because he knew that within a decade he would be trying to confiscate every single gun that he could get his hands on and make transfer of pistols illegal.
00:16:30.000Hate speech laws, which could be interpreted so vaguely.
00:16:34.000And this is what Jordan Peterson was rallying against, like back when they had this bill that was set up to make people use someone's gender identity.
00:16:44.000And he was like, what gender identity are you talking about?
00:16:48.000There's 78 current gender identities that someone can choose to identify with.
00:16:54.000Including just complete nonsense, made-up words, and it's gonna keep going.
00:16:59.000I don't know how many of them there are now.
00:17:00.000But he's like, the only way you enforce this is with...
00:17:37.000And not only do we understand this in human nature, and here's a bunch of examples of it, but then also historically, here's a bunch of examples of it.
00:17:44.000So it makes it really hard to dispute what is really logical and rational and, okay, if you're here and they want to go from point A to point B, this is the process for them to get there.
00:17:54.000And you're like, yeah, another brilliant man that does a lot of good.
00:17:58.000Well, you need a guy like him who has such a deep understanding of history and also is a clinical psychologist who understands the human mind on a very, very deep level.
00:18:07.000So he can explain things in a way that is...
00:18:30.000He and I are, we're in a parallel fight right now on the education side.
00:18:35.000You know, I have Apogee, which is, I have a physical school here, and we have online mentorship, and we're launching an additional 50 schools this year.
00:18:42.000Started a big, huge foundation, the Apogee Foundation, all just to try to turn this public school problem on its ear as we've indoctrinated this entire generation to hate America.
00:18:54.000And, you know, we're in a really scary position.
00:19:00.000You know, we're having identity problems in every imaginable way with this, you know, Gen Z and millennials just not knowing what their purpose is.
00:19:07.000And when you look at the public school system and Department of Education, it's just a broken system.
00:19:15.000Most of them on majority, I think, have a real We're good to go.
00:19:38.000The lack of individual responsibility and, as Jocko would say, extreme ownership of what the issues are and how to solve them are absolutely absent.
00:19:51.000We have, you know, accepting these identities.
00:19:53.000We have, obviously, this mental health crisis.
00:19:56.000And all of it really goes back when you look at The pandering that is happening in public schools for eight hours in a day, there's no way that you could come out of that process not being jacked up.
00:20:08.000You're gonna get some of it's gonna leak into your brain, no matter how much your parents talk to you or no matter how much you have your own ideas about life.
00:20:18.000There's a certain amount that people just absorb from their atmosphere and accept.
00:20:22.000There's a certain amount of it that people just accept.
00:20:25.000It's so manipulative when, you know, a third grade teacher is assigning you a project of, okay, you are a Palestinian freedom fighter here in the United States.
00:20:33.000What are some ways that you can help the Palestinians in Gaza be free?
00:20:42.000Or, even better, you'll get five points for extracurricular activities where you went and did something to help at a Palestinian protest or pro-Palestinian protest.
00:20:52.000And it's just like, you've effectively radicalized a kid into a freedom fighter with one assignment.
00:20:58.000Like, they have no choice but to participate if they want to receive a good grade.
00:21:16.000And it's not to say that the plight of the innocent Palestinians is not a fucking terrible situation to be in.
00:21:23.000If you're stuck in Gaza under the rule of Hamas and then you have Israel just like detained, keeps everybody detained in this one area, it's not good for them either.
00:21:32.0002.4 million people in an area the site of Washington, D.C. And I like to use the word stuck, because they are.
00:21:39.000You know, we have 240 hostages that are in Gaza, like legitimate Israeli, American, Brazilian, from almost every single nation, there's hostages in Gaza currently from October 7th.
00:21:52.000But the 2.4 million people, the Palestinians that live in Gaza, they're being held hostage by 30 to 40,000 radical Hamas and about seven other radical organizations that are terrorist organizations.
00:22:05.000So your word stuck could not be more accurate.
00:22:08.000There are great, peaceful, wonderful Muslims in Gaza that voted in a terrorist organization when the PLO and Hamas were trying to figure out who is actually going to be the ruling party of the Palestinian people.
00:22:44.000It's such a complex problem that is solvable, but it's heartbreaking when you look at the individual level of the kids that are there and the women that are there and the civilians that are there are literally trapped, as you said, stuck.
00:22:57.000And if you're Israel, how do you fix it?
00:23:00.000If you're Palestinian, how do you fix it?
00:23:02.000When it's so evident that Hamas wants one thing, which is the elimination and genocide of all Jews.
00:23:09.000And are there any Muslim countries that are accepting Palestinian refugees?
00:23:15.000That seems insane, because there's all this support for the Palestinians.
00:23:21.000If you're Islamic, if you're a Muslim, and you want to support these Muslims, Wouldn't you support the idea that your country, this Muslim country, would accept those people?
00:23:34.000And they could be in a place where they could be free.
00:23:37.000Now, 22 Arab nations, over 40 Muslim nations internationally, right?
00:23:43.000And that one Jew nation, Israel, has done more for the Palestinian people than any other nation ever.
00:23:49.000So it's ludicrous and it's insulting to the Palestinian people to start throwing stones at Israel when in fact they're the only group that has been trying to protect and in any administrative way provide food, water and resources to the people that are there.
00:24:03.000Over 40 Muslim countries, not one of them is accepting any Palestinian refugees.
00:24:30.000So, as I'm getting evacuation requests two weeks ago, and we're trying to be good, proper, judicious servants, how do I know that this name of this person is not trying to fill out an evacuation form to be assisted to move from an area that they're currently denied in,
00:24:53.000where their area of movement is restricted, For any other reasons besides that they need help like it's a really hard multiple levels of truth to try to Peel back to figure out who some of these people are and what their intentions are And it's been that way for a really long time if you go all the way back to like 1987 when Hamas really started moving and fighting with the PLO for control the air if you know when Yassar Yassar Arafat was meeting with Clinton and the Prime Minister of Israel and they're making negotiations
00:25:23.000and Oslo and All the way up to, you know, the first intifada, to the second intifada, to then all suicide attacks, pizzerias blowing up.
00:25:32.000Like, how do you determine who is good and who's bad?
00:26:04.000So the day I got back from Afghanistan, because I went from Afghanistan to Albania and Brazil and Italy and Greece to try to have them take refugees.
00:26:12.000So my post-Afghanistan work lasted a few more weeks.
00:26:19.000Because there are a lot of Afghan refugees and non-American citizens that weren't even Afghanis that we had to figure out where we're going to put.
00:26:27.000So that carried off, you know, the attack happened September 26, where, or August 26, where the bomb at Abbey Gate went off and the American service members were killed.
00:26:37.000And, you know, we left a few days later.
00:26:40.000Two weeks later, we're now into mid-September.
00:26:42.000I come back, and I immediately, the day I land, I get assigned to go down to the Mexican border.
00:26:47.000And I spent six months on the Mexican border on Operation Lone Star, part of a special operations task force, combating cartels, traffickers, human traffickers, drug smugglers.
00:26:59.000So there was humanitarian crisis number two in my life in three years, which was the Mexican border.
00:27:04.000Some of the worst stuff I've ever seen in my life.
00:27:06.000On par with Afghanistan, on par with what was the next one, which was Ukraine.
00:27:11.000The day I got off orders where I was legally allowed to travel or I was not.
00:27:15.000So when you're on orders, you have to do what the army says, right?
00:27:18.000And the army said, this is what you're going to do.
00:27:20.000So for six months, I was on this assignment at the border.
00:27:23.000The day I got off those orders, I'm back to a civilian, Tim Kennedy.
00:28:38.000Burnt babies, you know, as I'm going out to try and find Americans or our allies that are out in the city of Kabul to bring them into Echkaya.
00:28:46.000And you're stepping over like small burnt babies like it's the worst thing ever.
00:28:55.000And there are 400 immigrants trying to cross the river.
00:29:00.000They have babies up on their shoulders.
00:29:01.000And the coyotes, the traffickers, every single person that's in the river has paid the cartels to be escorted across the border.
00:29:10.000Well, concurrently, the cartel is about to smuggle 500 meters up the river, two dudes with bundles of fentanyl on their back.
00:29:18.000So I'm dealing with this gigantic humanitarian problem of a few hundred people at night trying to cross a dark, cold, flowing water with babies on their shoulders.
00:29:40.000Because I have to spend resources of my personnel to flood to try to save these immigrants from drowning in the river.
00:29:48.000And I have to throw a ton of resources and people at them to try and save them so they don't die in the river.
00:29:54.000At the exact same time, the resources that I have to use personnel-wise here...
00:29:59.000They're getting guys successfully onto the shore with bags full of fentanyl as they run into the inland, into the interior.
00:30:07.000And they know exactly what they're doing.
00:30:09.000They're making money by moving people while they're concurrently making money smuggling drugs and throwing humanitarian crises at us so that they can move drugs simultaneously.
00:30:18.000And that's hard for people that are trying to do good.
00:30:23.000How do you choose which problem to attack?
00:30:27.000We had a service member that dived into the water to try to save a baby and he drowned.
00:31:15.000Texas has a way different position than the federal government as to the immigration problem.
00:31:20.000And their approach are almost in conflict.
00:31:23.000So, when you get to, like, the real bad actors with, you know...
00:31:29.000Sexual trafficking cartel members, drug smugglers, weapon smugglers, you know, of course you're going to see federal assets being leveraged to attack those problem sets.
00:31:55.000You have to legally come into the United States through a legal port of entry, and then once you are here, we will process you in accordance with what the Department of State says the immigration process is.
00:32:06.000Because there's a rule, and we're a country of laws, so you have to follow the law.
00:32:14.000The other side of that coin is the federal approach, which is anybody that makes across the border, you are now here and we're going to process you.
00:33:35.000Yeah Yeah, I mean Trump put some pretty powerful laws in place and empowered the federal immigration laws for us at the border to have lots of tools to one turn somebody away and If you're coming across and you're claiming asylum,
00:33:52.000well you have to go back to your country of origin or you have to go to the country that you're trying to cross from and that is where you're going to have your asylum process be determined.
00:34:04.000You're not going to come in and we're not going to like allow you to go to San Diego and get to hang out in San Diego until your court date.
00:34:12.000Which is currently happening right now, right?
00:34:25.000It's so wild to watch those videos of just enormous, miles-long lines of people.
00:34:32.000Military-age men, you know, it's so heartbreaking.
00:34:40.000The men and women, you know, Border Patrol, Department of Public Safety, the Texas National Guardsmen that are working the border, they are so incredible.
00:34:50.000Selfless, hardworking, like, love America, and also love people.
00:34:55.000You know, they're putting their lives on the line every single day to try to protect these immigrants, but also try to Protect the law and the rule of law and that's a really hard thing to to reconcile is What is the humane thing to do and is that in alignment with what is the just thing to do?
00:35:14.000That's that's hard They're amazing and then once people are here and they cross over There's not a real screening process in terms of, like, who's a criminal, what your history is in your country of origin.
00:35:28.000Yeah, you want to get a weird Google thing.
00:35:31.000Google how many known people on the terror watch list have made it across.
00:35:38.000So the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, you know, we have these gigantic lists of people that are on terror watch lists, criminal watch lists, and the number of those that we have captured at the border obviously is just going to be a drop in a bucket of those that have made it across.
00:35:59.000In light of what just happened in Israel, where, you know, they flew paragliders over borders, over walls, and they crashed through walls, and then they were able to kill 1,400 people in one day.
00:36:17.000And then you look at the number of people that have been coming over the border for the past three years that we know are radicalized, that we know are on watch lists.
00:36:39.000Department of Homeland Security and the FBI yesterday, they talked about a bunch of known terrorist cells that are currently not operating, they are operating, but they are looking for opportunities, targets of opportunity to conduct terrorist activities here in the United States.
00:36:57.000The Department of State just released an entire worldwide warning to all Americans traveling abroad, saying that it is dangerous for any American to be traveling anywhere in the world right now with the amount of terrorist cells that have now been activated.
00:37:37.000Today, you would have gotten an email saying if you're going to be traveling to every single country that you had enrolled in STEPS that you're going to be overseas in, you would have gotten an email from them warning you not to go there because it's dangerous.
00:37:49.000So if you're enrolled in like five different countries for STEPS, you would have got five emails today being like, hey, bro, don't go there.
00:37:59.000Due to increased tensions in various locations around the world, the potential for terrorist attacks, demonstrations, and violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests, the Department of State advises U.S. citizens overseas to exercise increased caution.
00:38:12.000U.S. citizens should stay alert in locations frequented by tourists, enroll in smart travel enrollment program to receive information alerts to make it easier to locate you in an emergency overseas.
00:38:24.000Follow the Department of State on Facebook and Twitter And visit travel.state.gov.
00:38:30.000Yeah, this crisis intake form and the flights out of Ben Gurion, that is...
00:38:35.000So Save Our Allies, the NGO that I was in Afghanistan for, the NGO that I was in Ukraine for, and the NGO that I was just recently in Israel for.
00:38:44.000Department of State, you know, they're an easy target to throw darts at sometimes, but they really do do great for the American people.
00:39:26.000It is the place for the largest religions in the world to all celebrate.
00:39:35.000You're a pastor and you want to go to the Jordan River because that's where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist.
00:39:40.000You are a Muslim and you want to go to the Dome on the Rock.
00:39:46.000You want to go to the mosque that they're calling the reason for attacking Israel was because they thought it was going to be destroyed, which it never will be.
00:40:34.000You don't have the wherewithal of knowing how to travel in the middle of a war and now you're getting a thing from Department of State that says you have to go to Tel Aviv and connect with us and fill out this crisis intake form for us to be able to help you get out.
00:40:49.000From where you are as an American citizen to where you need to be to get out of this country where 1,400 people are being raped, murdered, burnt alive, tortured.
00:40:57.000There's people being kidnapped and hostages being taken.
00:41:00.000And like you're just an American that's now stuck here and every single airline has canceled your flight no matter how many times you've booked it.
00:41:06.000Maybe if we had this guy had booked five new flights and every single one of those flights had been charged on his credit card and So then his credit card is frozen because he's just booked five next day flights at, you know, three, four thousand dollars a piece.
00:41:22.000And, you know, he's on heart medication, maybe he's on insulin, whatever the individual we helped for almost 400 people get out of Israel.
00:41:30.000But the Department of State, as amazing as there are, there's these little gaps that somebody has to go and help them with, that's comfortable moving in the middle of a war.
00:41:39.000And that's really where Save Our Allies comes in, is because we go and fill that gap.
00:41:44.000Like, how do I find this guy in this hotel that is too scared to leave, doesn't know how to get a bus, doesn't know how to get a taxi, doesn't know how to...
00:41:52.000His tourist information or his tourist guide is like, hey, bro, I'm out.
00:41:56.000I'm going to go down because my kibbutz just got murdered.
00:41:58.000I'm going to go help my family that, you know, they're missing three of their family members.
00:42:02.000Of course, they're going to go and help.
00:42:04.000But now that guy is stuck, that his family stuck, that pastor stuck.
00:42:07.000So we had to go and find those people and move them to a place where they could get out of the country safely.
00:42:37.000They didn't have the maneuverability of being able to pivot with whatever existing flights.
00:42:42.000Ultimately, we had to drive them from where they were to Haifa.
00:42:47.000To put them on a private chartered airplane to fly them from Haifa to Cyprus where they could then fly from there to Athens and get home.
00:42:55.000Like we had to privately source an airplane to fly them out of a place to get them to a place that they could fly out of because all other aircraft have been grounded so that two pastors could make it back to their churches in California.
00:43:15.000How do you fucking manage your mind dealing with so many horrific and traumatic experiences over and over and over again, just over a few years?
00:43:45.000And it was during the civil rights protests where blacks are being beaten in the street, you know, and hippies are being condemned as like the next plague and pestilence that society could ever see.
00:43:59.000And like, what would you do with all of this evil happening around us?
00:44:03.000And Mr. Rogers says, just look to the helpers.
00:44:10.000And, you know, I'm thinking about the ground team that I had with me over there.
00:44:15.000I can't even say their names because they're amazing people, but we had JP, RT, Primo, and The most brilliant, from the Expeditionary Special Operations backgrounds, but the most selfless,
00:44:33.000hardworking, they're giants of humans.
00:44:36.000Like, I look at them just in awe of how capable they are and how selfless they are at the same time.
00:44:42.000Like, these are the most lethal humans on the planet.
00:44:44.000And they could kill you a thousand different ways, but they're putting their lives on the line to try and Rescue a pastor that can't book a flight.
00:44:53.000You know, like, Israel would do anything to have one of these guys go with them and advise them about how to get into this shitshow that is Gaza, into the tunnels that are controlled by Hamas.
00:45:04.000And what are we going to do with Hezbollah at the northern border?
00:45:06.000How are we going to stop the Taliban that just got permission to cross through Iraq?
00:45:09.000What are we going to do with Al-Qaeda that just bribed a whole bunch more people to fly them into every single neighboring country?
00:45:15.000Like, but instead, they're just trying to rescue people.
00:45:18.000So to ask your question, when I'm down at the border, I just look to my left and my right and I see a freaking private that's three o'clock in the morning.
00:45:27.000He's sitting there with night vision and he's like, that kid just fell in the water.
00:45:34.000He's running down into the darkness to jump in the water to try and save a kid.
00:45:38.000Like, if you cannot find inspiration from that, and if you cannot find something that's going to nurture and feed your soul and inspire you to do something good for the people around you, and look at the guys that I had with me in Israel, like, I can't even, the group of people that I had with me in Ukraine, like, I'm just astounded by these.
00:45:54.000And you know a whole bunch of them, too, that are just amazing people.
00:46:00.000I've been so blessed to have you know a Short but successful fighting career a successful military career that then went into a period of like successful business and now I'm in a position where like Man, I really want to do good and there's all these things that I know or people are really hurting in or they can't do and I have experience in a background and Connections that I'm able to solve these problems and I did so much evil.
00:46:40.000Like, when you're hurting, I don't think there's anything more important that you could do than do something for somebody else.
00:46:46.000And that, man, that just empowers you and it gives you purpose.
00:46:51.000And if I'm ever going to think about Should I get up and work out today?
00:46:57.000Well, I can think about August 24th, 2021, when I had two kids in my arms and a woman behind me, and we're having to run through Kabul to try to make it to Aich Kaya while we're being chased by the Taliban.
00:47:31.000That's amazing that you're able to manage your mind through all this because I know a lot of lesser men would be destroyed by one of these experiences.
00:47:38.000For you to have four of them concurrent over three years.
00:47:45.000I would really like maybe in the next election cycle us to look at the past three years and maybe I'm not ready for another four years of this, you know?
00:47:57.000I don't think our organization could take it.
00:47:59.000I think the Rolodex of people that want to do good.
00:48:03.000I can only ask somebody to go into a war-torn country to try to save Americans so many times.
00:48:10.000Well, unfortunately, we've also demonized first responders and people that are in the military and demonized people that are police officers and border officers.
00:48:20.000And this short-sighted, ridiculous approach for political purposes is just so fucking infuriating.
00:48:29.000And it's so weird that more people don't understand that and more people don't see it that way.
00:48:59.000Even like Southwest Texas, if you're going elk hunting or like you're going to go bear hunting, you're going to go cat hunting, and you think you're going to get up, you know, through in and around Big Bend on anything but a horse, you're crazy.
00:49:29.000And if they make it into the interior, the number of people that die from exposure, once they make it across into the United States, but then they try to cross, let's say they came through Big Bend.
00:50:05.000And these men and women on the border are trying to protect them.
00:50:09.000Similarly, in the propaganda vein, this pro-Hamas...
00:50:15.000I just, it's, you know, we were texting before we came on here, like how fast things pivot the rational understanding of a problem and how perverted it is from truth.
00:50:34.000It's very unique and it's very strange.
00:50:36.000It's very strange to see massive protests on the streets that are yelling out in support of the people that did that on October 7th.
00:50:46.000And there was a professor recently that said he was elated when that happened.
00:50:52.000And he was just suspended, which is crazy that it's only that.
00:50:59.000The fact that there's people that are so fucking detached from reality and they have this very strange leftist Marxist philosophy that is so untenable with the reality of the world and yet they're teaching kids this.
00:51:18.000And then they're talking about this openly, openly in public forums, openly in social media, openly in protests.
00:51:34.000And for young people that admire those people or that are being taught by those people and don't know any better when that person's in a position of power and influence because they're discussing these things in classrooms or discussing these things on social media, I just don't understand it.
00:51:52.000I never thought things would deteriorate this rapidly.
00:51:55.000I'm disappointed, but I'm not confused when you know the powers and the money that is being spent to try to destabilize America.
00:52:07.000When you look at our enemies, when you're looking at China, when you're looking at Russia, when you're looking at Iran, and the hundreds of millions of dollars they're spending in misinformation and disinformation, where they are perpetuating things that we 100% know to be not true, not factual, but they are Very effectively.
00:52:30.000Joseph Goebbels, the propaganda minister for Hitler, you know, he had a playbook about how to spin truth and how to manipulate masses.
00:52:38.000You know, how could you take what is a great, cool culture like the Germans were post-World War I as they're trying to find their identity and they're trying to Bounce back from a horrific war.
00:52:50.000And then, you know, by the mid-30s and late 30s, you know, they're positioning to throw Jews into ghettos and then ultimately gas six million of them.
00:54:14.000They're calling for, so the river, the Jordan River, which is on the east side of all of Israel, the sea, the Mediterranean, in between those two things is where Israel lies, 7.4 million Jews.
00:55:11.000The way that freedom would work was that there was an educated, empowered citizen that was individually responsible for themselves and their family.
00:55:20.000And they were in a position of authority over the government.
00:55:25.000That's how that document worked, our beautiful Bill of Rights in the Constitution, was because of the power of the people.
00:55:31.000And over the past 50-60 years, our people have become fat, gelatinous, complacent, uneducated, subscribed to propaganda, radicals, aligned with agendas that are not pro-America.
00:55:46.000And in the course of this time, it makes that document We have no teeth.
00:55:54.000Because the government used to be scared of the people.
00:55:56.000Because the people, when we decided to throw some tea in a harbor and the shot heard around the world, we went after the people that were attacking us and that were...
00:56:11.000Controlling us, and we killed them, and we pushed them off this land.
00:56:14.000And then we wrote these founding documents that said the individual is going to maintain the power.
00:56:20.000The people are going to have the power.
00:56:21.000But the only way that works is if the people have power.
00:56:45.000I have 25 pages of notes here about the Middle East conflict.
00:56:50.000But ultimately, I'm scared that that can happen here because we are so vulnerable right now as people.
00:56:57.000It's the reason that Sheepdog Response exists.
00:56:59.000My company is to train the American individual to take their own security to preserve and protect human life and be able to provide for the family.
00:57:16.000And that is being, it's being discussed as if somehow or another that small number is a strength.
00:57:25.000That we are in somehow or another a more kind and a more equitable nation because people are so soft, because people are so...
00:57:36.000I don't know how you have those two...
00:57:42.000How do you have such freedom that allows people to have these protests, that allows people to have these differing perspectives and to speak about it openly and publicly.
00:57:52.000But yet still maintain the strength of the union when you have all these external factors, all these different countries and different organizations that are working to try to use propaganda and use money to destroy us.
00:58:47.000So, your question is, how do you reconcile having such freedoms where somebody can go and say something so detestable, like praising a group of people that went and raped and murdered 1400 people that currently have 240 hostages?
00:59:29.000It's that they are in control of themselves.
00:59:32.000An external force comes and says, Tim, I want you to take this experimental thing and give it to your child and inject it into them, please.
01:00:02.000The reason I started these schools is because I do not want anyone else to have influence over the way that my children are going to learn how to be critical thinkers.
01:00:11.000I want them to be cognitive in every single debatable subject, to have the Socratic mind where they can sit and debate somebody like you with immense knowledge on all these variety of topics.
01:00:25.000We have for so long just given away every little bit of it, whether it was post 9-11, or during COVID, or after the next active shooter, you know, like, in light of what just happened in Maine, you know they're going to be coming after They're going to be looking for more laws to try and control more of the Second Amendment and limit the freedoms that we have.
01:00:45.000So we know that, but we have to maintain this essence that is being American, which is the sovereignty, the individual responsibility that I am in charge of me.
01:00:54.000And what's infuriating to me about these mass shootings, and Matt Walsh did a piece about this recently, where he discussed the prevalence of psychoactive drugs, the prevalence of psychiatric medications amongst school shooters, amongst mass shooters.
01:01:13.000Yeah, and they try to hide that they try to hide that data by using gang violence as Mass shootings and they use like there's no data to support that all that is like no.
01:01:25.000No, that's not true at all There's a giant difference between gang violence mass shootings which occur all the time which are also is something that no one's trying to fix and And then the actual people that strap themselves up and go into places where people are unarmed and just slaughter people.
01:03:09.000Every single person should be able to have a tank and a machine gun, in my opinion.
01:03:13.000But when somebody is dealing with mental health problems, they're on a bunch of drugs, they're actively trying to hurt people, you know, like maybe there's a restraining order, they're a multi-time felon, should that guy be able to go in and buy?
01:03:26.000Well, clearly, that guy right there was stopped from getting a tool to maybe even hurt more people by just And as a small business owner, it is my choice who I'm going to sell to, and who I'm going to choose to sell a product to.
01:03:41.000And if that product is a thing, like ultimate, the individual responsibility as an entrepreneur and a small business owner is like, it is my choice who sell this to.
01:03:50.000And that guy comes in, and he says that he's on drugs, and he just got out of a mental health hospital, like...
01:03:55.000Man, you could go buy your suppressor somewhere else.
01:03:58.000Like that guy in Maine just went through it.
01:04:00.000So double check is trying to infuse themselves in a really helpful way to protect people like me that own a gun store, where if that guy walks into my door, I can have real data to point to him.
01:04:14.000So like, boop, I do a little search, it pops up as like, hey man, you just wrote that you want to go shoot up a school.
01:04:24.000Can we talk about that before I sell you a gun?
01:05:31.000In all of the things I've experienced in the past three years, like post-traumatic stress, any single one of those single days over the course of months upon months would be enough for me to be like, dude, I'm out of here, right?
01:06:02.000I'm now like playing hockey with my son as a 45 year old dude that just went to a yard sale to buy all the hockey stuff so I can get out there and try to dunk on my 8 year old who skates around me making me look like an idiot.
01:06:16.000I got tap shoes so I can start doing tap dancing with my four-year-old.
01:06:19.000You know, like these are the things that healthy people do.
01:06:22.000Sitting on the couch, eating a bunch of shit, not going outside, not having any relationships, not having any community, not finding ways to give back to their community.
01:07:35.000And they're like, well, you need us now because you have to have a letter for you to be able to go get this procedure.
01:07:41.000And I was like, well, I just don't want to get gut and like butthole cancer.
01:07:45.000So I'd really like to go do these things, you know, but I have to come in and see you for you to like write a thing for me to go see these other people.
01:08:23.000It seems so sad and I pity the easy solution person where like I can take a pill and I'll feel better or I can take a pill and I'll be less fat or like I'll be sold on this idea that this media company is telling me that if I do this thing I'm gonna sleep better or like my dick's gonna work better with this thing.
01:09:29.000Most people don't even have a frame of reference.
01:09:31.000There's so many people out there that don't know anybody who actually works.
01:09:34.000Like works at it the way you do or the way many people do that we know.
01:09:39.000The flying back from Israel, every one of those people in the kibbutzes all around Gaza and we're up and down them, like they're No fat on their faces, you know, like striations on their shoulders.
01:09:54.000Like these are just cops or now reserve recently activated people.
01:10:15.000Both instances of like the only fat people.
01:10:17.000And then I take a flight from Tel Aviv directly into New York.
01:10:21.000I land in New York and I'm heading towards immigration and passport control.
01:10:25.000And I'm just like inundated with the overweight, dangerously obese Americans.
01:10:33.000The stark contrast of a place that has been trying to fight for their existence since May of 1948, when every single neighboring country invaded them and tried to kill them, to like the Six Day War, to then Yom Kippur War, and then the First Intifada, to the Second Intifada, and now what just happened on October 7th,
01:10:48.000where they're just like under the stress of being capable and individually responsible for their safety.
01:10:56.000Clearly they failed on October 7th, to then coming into New York, and I was like, bro!
01:11:52.000They're never going to become a chick.
01:11:54.000And they're so happy to be living with you.
01:11:57.000My four-year-old walks around with two chickens half the day, and she's sitting there in her four-wheeler, and there's a chicken sitting next to her.
01:12:06.000My cats love the chickens, too, because if you have chickens, there's a good chance you're going to have mice.
01:12:11.000And if you have mice, then you're going to have a really happy cat.
01:12:14.000And, you know, like my Belgian Malinois and, you know, she comes in and she just like sits there like, like she's the king of the roost, you know, and then one of the chickens comes over and reminds her that she's nothing that the chickens are actually in charge of the yard.
01:12:26.000But the amount of eggs that they come but, you know, when you get that first time that you crack an egg from one of your chickens, and you're like, that looks different.
01:12:35.000And then you eat it and you're like, dude, that tastes different.
01:12:59.000And you start going down this wild journey, this rabbit trail of freedom...
01:13:04.000And how much different am I? When you look at the difference between grain-fed fatty beef and an elk steak, you're like, okay, look at the difference in the meat.
01:13:15.000Look at the difference in the quality of the meat, the dark, rich, nutrient-dense, protein-rich meat.
01:13:40.000And the existing animals are the ones that we ultimately get to go and find.
01:13:45.000And we are very careful about which ones we're killing and what season we're killing them in to make sure that we are encouraging the same healthy herd.
01:13:55.000We get this most delicious, surviving, fantastic, nutrient-dense meat you can find on the planet.
01:15:04.000This is, you know, you have to know how to shoot first.
01:15:06.000So we teach fundamentals of marksmanship, nonstandard shooting positions, like how many times you get to lay down in the prone off bipods and shoot something.
01:15:16.000Can I shoot off a tree, kneeling, standing offhand?
01:15:19.000If I get a designated zone in Arizona or New Mexico, can I navigate from where I can park to where I have to go hunt without illegally trespassing on anybody's property?
01:15:31.000The barrier between I want to hunt and I can hunt It's hard for some people.
01:15:38.000And as we're sitting here talking about how amazing it is to hunt, and it is the most amazing thing that I want everybody to do, that barrier of entry seems hard for some people.
01:16:42.000Every class, we have 40 people, and every class is sold out.
01:16:47.000And the end result at the end of three days are like these people that are just like they feel like they're gonna explode with this excitement about what it means because they now know they can go and hunt.
01:16:58.000Do you have a mind management program to deal with the moment of actually shooting?
01:17:11.000Changed everything for me and so many other people, including like world-class archers and people that have been hunting for decades that have dealt with target panic and don't understand what's actually going on between open loop and closed loop systems that you can actually manage that with discipline and actually having a shot routine that you must go through every time you execute a shot.
01:18:01.000And also understanding the factors that are in play.
01:18:04.000Instead of just being like a prisoner of the moment and being captive by your emotions and, you know, these human systems that have existed forever.
01:18:13.000Like, having an understanding of what's going on.
01:18:30.000Hunting is one of the very few things that still sparks that feeling of like elation and excitement and nervousness, but I still fall back to cool.
01:18:54.000And that same discipline, process, hard work approach to people externally will look at Save Our Allies in the middle of peak combat in a completely non-permissive environment and they're like,
01:19:11.000what the hell are you peak What are you guys doing?
01:19:13.000And it's an incredible group of disciplined people that have a process that has been perfected over now 20 years at the Global War on Terror.
01:19:25.000And they are doing the work that needs to be done.
01:19:30.000But those three things are still prevalent and evident.
01:20:31.000I'm as worried as I am about the future, you know, at Apogee and at Sheepdog Response and at Save Our Allies and, you know, First Responders Action Group.
01:20:43.000I'm in all of these different groups where I see these young men and women that are on this train.
01:20:49.000And I know I'm not in a cross-section of the United States right now that is really struggling with all of the problems of mental health and obesity and diet.
01:20:59.000But in this little group that I'm around often, I'm just so encouraged by...
01:21:05.000The work and the discipline and the subscription to the process.
01:21:08.000Like last night in my jiu-jitsu school, I had 60 kids on our mat at one time.
01:21:13.000I said, hey parents, everybody come into the classroom really fast.
01:21:16.000We're going to have a Q&A session about competition and what this next season looks like.
01:21:20.000Every parent stood up, walked in there.
01:21:24.000They didn't even know that we're going to be doing a Q&A. They had pre-prepared questions that they were looking for an opportunity to ask the staff about how is coaching going to be at the next tournament.
01:21:33.000And I was just like, I love you people.
01:21:35.000You know, like the parents to the Apogee families.
01:21:37.000Because we take a totally different approach.
01:21:40.000We're a whole family approach to education.
01:21:42.000Like if you subscribe to this idea that you can take your kid and you can drop them off at a place and you're going to get this amazing thing back that you don't have any control about what they're being taught.
01:21:52.000You are just an idiot and you're a crazy person.
01:22:24.000Here are the books that your kids are going to be reading that you're also going to be reading with them.
01:22:28.000Like if your kid is reading it, then you better be reading it too.
01:22:31.000You'd be very appalled at some of the books that are assigned to children in public school to read.
01:22:36.000And I think if a parent actually picked this book up, it's like, and then Johnny took his penis and he brought it and it was a wreck for the first time next to his friend.
01:22:55.000And I'm so encouraged to see the activation, the discipline, the process and the hard work from the youngest kindergartner all the way up to like the 60 year old parent that's like doing the work.
01:23:07.000It's so bizarre to me that a rejection of teaching like overt sexuality to young kids is somehow or another dismissed as anti-gay or anti-LBGTQ. It's so strange because you could never imagine Heterosexual sex being discussed to five-year-olds and six-year-olds.
01:23:33.000Like, this is how a man, you know, chooses to have, you know, sexual relationships with women, and this is how a woman chooses to have sexual relationships with men.
01:25:01.000And it also, to me, it's so confusing that other people don't recognize that and that people are so scared of being labeled as homophobic or being labeled as transphobic or anti-LBGTQ that they allow these things to take place under the guise of we're being more inclusive.
01:25:32.000You're racist or you're anti-LGBTQ. I don't like those things said about me and I know that they're completely wrong.
01:25:41.000But they're going to lob that unfounded accusation at me because I'm going to stand on a principle of protecting my children.
01:25:47.000And would I rather take, you know, there's a great photo of a dad standing over his children and on his back, he has like all of these darts.
01:25:59.000The darts were named, you know, it was Disney propaganda, you know, it was LGBTQ indoctrination, it's racial discrimination, it was 69 Project.
01:26:08.000It was like every single thing they're attacked with just...
01:26:11.000Relentlessly every single day, and the dad just sitting there taking it and that is our job is to take it so you can call me any names that you want.
01:26:19.000But first and foremost, my position is to protect my children, and to raise somebody that will be a contributing member society.
01:26:26.000My partner, Matt Boudreaux at Apogee, he was in public education.
01:26:34.000The genesis of his journey where we collided was he had went and started the two largest Socratic schools in the United States.
01:26:41.000Like, hundreds and hundreds of students going to learn just the Socratic approach.
01:26:46.000And he thought that there was more that needed to be done on the full family approach.
01:26:52.000Where the dad and the mom and the brothers and the sisters, everybody's on the same journey to become the best versions of themselves.
01:26:59.000So Matt and I collide with both of us working at the exact same thing, with the same ideas, with the same approaches, with the same love for America.
01:27:08.000And the end result is dads and moms becoming those things where they will...
01:27:15.000They will be the stopgap between all of this hate and all of these dangerous ideas.
01:27:21.000And if you're not doing that, like if parenting is not hard, maybe you're not a good parent.
01:28:15.000The coach was in shorts and he was just, his fingers were white.
01:28:18.000His cheeks were like bright red from the cold.
01:28:21.000But he stood there and he took it and he showed grit.
01:28:24.000And then all of these third graders followed in suit.
01:28:26.000And I was just like heart exploding with pride as my son demonstrated like this will follow through with this thing that I've committed to do.
01:28:36.000And it hurt me to watch my son be cold.
01:29:00.000But so many people are just so occupied with their own life and they're so busy that they just don't have the time to have conversations with their kid or even think about it.
01:29:53.000She got up at 6 o'clock in the morning, ran for two miles, then went to the volleyball game, did the volleyball game.
01:30:00.000You know, they're playing this tournament.
01:30:01.000They play these three games, comes back home, hits the gym again.
01:30:05.000So she's getting three workouts in a day.
01:30:08.000Show me her results and all this thing and then you know, we're obviously giving her positive positive feedback because of it But now she's like super fired up.
01:30:16.000Yeah, and that you like you see the difference in her body like her abs are showing and her Body feels like it like she's like a fucking little panther.
01:30:27.000Not to be, and I don't mean to disparage other families that haven't made it there yet or haven't subscribed to these ideas of discipline and regiment.
01:30:38.000But our kids, compared to my son, my daughters, they're just so much better than everybody else.
01:30:46.000I don't mean to sound terrible, but they do the work.
01:30:51.000I also think it's a lead by example thing.
01:30:53.000Children, you can teach them things, but they learn a lot from just watching you.
01:30:57.000They learn a lot when they learn what the standards are.
01:31:02.000When you see someone who's happy and fulfilled and also successful, and you're like, what is that person doing?
01:31:23.000And if you're a slob and you come home and you're just fucking eating sub sandwiches and just drinking whiskey all night and just falling asleep watching sports, you kids are like, look at this fucking aimless existence.
01:31:44.000Mike Glover wrote a great book, Prepared, and that...
01:31:49.000In that, one of the big takeaways was, it doesn't have to be your purpose, but one of the reasons me as an American, me as a protector, me as a father, me as a husband, it is my job and my responsibility to be prepared to protect my family.
01:32:05.000And as your children learn via osmosis, like by example, the things that you do, you know, I have to like elbow my son out of his seat so I can sit facing the door.
01:32:16.000I was like, my man, you knew where to sit, you know, but like move over.
01:32:19.000You go sit by your mom right now, you know?
01:32:21.000And, you know, he sees the outliers, you know, and Mike would call it a bump in the pattern.
01:32:29.000Like I call them outliers where like something is off where I sit down in a place and like, That person doesn't belong here.
01:32:38.000Yeah, I'm gonna spend a little bit of time and a little cognitive of my ever-struggling brain to pay attention with this what person is doing over here because it's my responsibility.
01:32:50.000And Americans better figure this out pretty fast because we are gonna have a rough year.
01:32:58.000We are woefully unprepared and disillusioned about what the next 13 months are going to look like.
01:33:06.000Do you think that's going to wake people up?
01:33:08.000I mean, I do not want to say that we need something to happen.
01:33:12.000But one of the things that did happen post 9-11...
01:33:16.000I remember this overwhelming feeling of patriotism that was prevalent through the entire country.
01:33:23.000I would drive to work and I'd see American flags in Los Angeles, which is like one of the most ridiculously out of touch places on earth, and everyone had American flags hanging from their car.
01:33:56.000Israel is one of the most secure nations in the world.
01:34:00.000Which is impressive, from them fighting for their existence the day that they became a country, to the Six-Day War, where every single one of their neighboring countries invaded them, to the Yom Kippur War, where again, led by Egypt, every single one of their neighboring countries invaded them.
01:34:18.000To, you know, what just happened where they have one of the most complex security and military and intelligent networks on the planet.
01:34:27.000And Hamas killed almost Pearl Harbor level numbers, almost 9-11 level numbers, just in An indescribably barbaric way.
01:35:26.000I know firsthand, saw firsthand, was shown...
01:35:33.000and have which I will never show the pictures of these things really happening and if it could happen in the most secure nation that has been invaded by every single one of their neighbors multiple times in history but we here in America think that the 350 million of us are somehow safe that the government is somehow going to protect us that our local police department like if you picked up the phone right now and you called For help,
01:35:59.000911. How long would it take for somebody to come here and try and help and save you?
01:36:04.000Especially with the defund the police.
01:36:11.000Yeah, they're figuring it out here, too.
01:36:13.000You have a ton of friends that are in law enforcement in this area.
01:36:16.000The murder detectives, counter-gang task forces, are pulled off of their murder investigations to work the street because they don't have enough police officers.
01:36:32.000If we are struggling to meet the demand of basic soldiers, the available population of combat arms that special operations can pick from, that shrinks, right?
01:36:54.000Not just strategically in maybe the most vulnerable position in a really long time, but nationally here in the United States, I think that we are more vulnerable than we have ever been.
01:37:12.000It took six to eight hours for any of the military or police to make it to any of those villages that are immediately adjacent from Gaza to come and try and fight Hamas back.
01:37:51.000And Americans are woefully ill-prepared for what's coming.
01:37:57.000I think there's another thing that's disturbing to me, but there's a certain amount of cowardice that's involved in there's certain people that when they see an attack like that happen and they're terrified of it happening to them, they will try to sympathize with the attackers.
01:38:17.000They will try to sympathize and almost position themselves to be on their side.
01:38:56.000You know, it took six million to being persecuted and killed.
01:38:59.000Those Jews, man, from the Germans to the Egyptians to the Romans, you know, Palestine didn't exist.
01:39:08.000You could go back 3,000 years to King David and then his son, King Solomon, saying that, like, this is the capital of the Jewish people here in Judah and Israel, Jerusalem.
01:39:24.000We have to go to 80 A.D., where after Jesus has already come here, now we have the origin of Judaism and them historically, not religious documents, like this is the origin of the Jewish people, is here in this specific land with very clear geographic references as to what it is,
01:39:41.000to then being the origin of the Christian faith with Jesus being there and then being crucified.
01:39:47.000And then 200 years later, Muhammad and us learning that the Muslim religion also beginning there.
01:39:57.000The Romans destroy the temple in 80 AD and then they coined the term Palestine for that area.
01:40:07.000For the 2000 years before that, it had just been Israel.
01:40:13.000Egypt, the Romans, they're now conquered from every imaginable group of people for the next, like, 1500 years.
01:40:23.000Murdered at every opportunity, leading up to the Holocaust.
01:40:26.000Going to post-World War II, 1947, the UN says, hey, it's cool that Israel has its own nation in the place that it has always been, Israel.
01:40:38.000May of 1948, independence kicks off and every neighbor comes in to try to kill them.
01:40:43.000And now here we are in 2023, and we're still talking about, like, boycotting Jews, and hey, it's cool if we, like, slit their throats, don't let them make babies, let's find from the river to the sea, get rid of the Jews.
01:41:23.000And they put them up in New York, they put them up in Brooklyn, they put them in LA. And there are hundreds of videos of people walking down to tear off these hostage photographs.
01:41:52.000And I think that the answer is it goes in direct conflict with the thing that they want to believe and they think that it perpetuates a cycle of violence and that them tearing it down and that is them like protecting the Palestinian poor impoverished people when in fact they're tearing down the victim The Jew or the Christian or the Brazilian that was kidnapped that is now being held hostage in
01:42:22.000Gaza by a terrorist group of people and thugs.
01:42:30.000Well, there's this very bizarre progressive narrative that, you know, look, there's a reality of Gaza, that Gaza is essentially like an open-air prison.
01:43:03.000I've seen many videos of atrocities being committed by both sides, which is just a horrible consequence of war and conflict.
01:43:11.000What do you think, I'm Israel, you're the Palestinians in Gaza, if If every one of the people in Gaza laid down the arms and stopped attacking,
01:44:20.000That's their motto and the origin of their existence.
01:44:23.000All the way back to the Grand Mufti traveling to Hitler to ask, how do we solve the Jewish problem?
01:44:30.000Like, you want to follow from Hamas to the Muslim Brotherhood, all the way back to the Grand Mufti, to Mujahideen, and you see the origins of, like, one thing, which is, how do I solve the Jewish problem, is to eradicate and kill them?
01:45:29.000But if there's two and a half million people that are living in Gaza that are allowing 30,000 terrorists to run them...
01:45:39.000At some point, the olive branch cannot be extended from Israel when 30,000 people are using that region to launch attacks into their sovereign nation.
01:45:48.000And we were talking about the propaganda that exists in America.
01:45:52.000What about the propaganda that exists in Palestine?
01:48:31.000I went and did a Fox News stand-up in the city directly north of Gaza.
01:48:39.000That is the most rocketed city in all of Israel.
01:48:42.000And the one day that we were there, we had like six rocket attack sirens go off.
01:48:48.000It's the weirdest thing that the Palestinians are allowing...
01:48:56.000Hamas to literally kill them and pillage everything about their existence from them.
01:49:02.000Hamas is so rich and so 70 million dollars from Iran.
01:49:07.000You know every every humanitarian ship that comes into the port or right now that is being brought up through the Rafa Gate via Egypt into the south portion of Gaza.
01:49:17.000The moment that lands there that is taken control of by Hamas.
01:49:21.000They then build underground infrastructure in the tunnels, and they build military infrastructure, and then they turn whatever they can into rockets, and the humanitarian aid that is supposed to be distributed to the people, they have control of.
01:52:17.000It is so, this tinderbox that is that region with the West Bank, with the Golm Heights of the North, with Hezbollah, which is being supported by Iran.
01:52:26.000They're all positioned on the border, you know, with Iraq allowing people from Afghanistan, the Taliban, to move through.
01:52:33.000Taliban being funded by us, $40 million right now is what we're continually giving them, the Taliban.
01:52:46.000We want to recognize them as a legitimate government, and we are paying for them to start a democratic process of, like, that is the,
01:53:01.000I think, would be the tagline of what we want them to do.
01:53:07.000What it is actually doing is the same thing that happens when we release six billion dollars to Iran.
01:53:12.000In exchange for hostages, they then take that six billion dollars.
01:53:16.000No, they're not using that exact money to fund terrorism with Hezbollah or Hamas.
01:53:22.000But I have one bank account that has an additional six billion dollars in it.
01:53:26.000And now I'm able to spend six billion dollars over here to finance other things that are going to destabilize the nation that I have sworn to eradicate Israel and America.
01:53:38.000I'll happily give some more money to...
01:53:40.000They've been planning this for four years.
01:53:43.000The Quds, like the Iranian special operations guys, training and preparing Hamas, advising on how to execute this, how do they get the intelligence to know what direction they need to fly with their paragliders, which areas, which...
01:53:58.000You don't think they had scouts in all the kibbutzes around Gaza to identify which houses they're going to be targeting?
01:54:05.000The people that Israel was allowing out of Gaza to work as agricultural workers, they were going into these areas, into these kibbutzes, into these houses, into these villages, doing recons for Hamas.
01:54:16.000So then when Hamas launched their attack on October 7th, they'd been funded.
01:54:21.000There's this amazing book called The New Rules of War.
01:54:26.000And the new rules of war lines out all of the ways that America is not prepared to fight a war.
01:54:31.000By non-state actors, by corporations, by cartels, by violent extremist organizations, using proxy methods.
01:54:42.000They are funding every single group that just attacked our American base in Syria, that attacked our American base in Iraq, that attacked and killed a bunch of Americans in Israel.
01:55:10.000That war is never going to happen again.
01:55:13.000And we're just not ready to fight this new type of war under these new rules of war, which is fighting non-state actors, fighting proxy wars, fighting corporations funded by governments, fighting cartels that are getting subsidized by governments,
01:55:28.000all to destabilize the greatest nation to ever exist in the history of mankind, us.
01:55:36.000You were saying that you think we're more vulnerable now than we've ever been before and you're legitimately worried that the United States might fall.
01:55:44.000I am more worried now because of the lack of preparedness of the individual.
01:55:55.000Americans are Fatter than they've ever been.
01:56:00.000They are, even though there's more guns now owned, there are fewer per capita owned by an individual with people that train regularly with them.
01:56:12.000People that are able to provide and protect for their families.
01:56:14.000All the metrics of measurements of like, that family's going to be okay.
01:56:19.000That is the smallest that it's ever been.
01:56:22.000And our government right now is more vulnerable internationally than we've ever been.
01:56:28.000Our military is, even though I'm so proud to be a service member, I'm, you know, when the army tells me to do something, I 100% have no say whatsoever.
01:56:39.000And I'm really proud to be part of the most elite fighting force on the planet.
01:56:42.000I think we are the weakest that we've ever been for a variety of reasons.
01:56:48.000When you put all of these things together, and you just take a step back, and like, the aggregate, like the accumulation of all of these different factors make me be like, holy crap, we are vulnerable.
01:57:04.000The only way to combat that is the individual to start taking their own security and preparedness seriously.
01:57:53.000There's a 20-year Special Forces dude that in the past three years has been in four gigantic international crises in three years.
01:58:03.000I've spent my entire adult life doing this.
01:58:06.000I run companies that train people to do this.
01:58:09.000Like the sole mission statement of the large company and every single subsidiary under them ultimately goes down to preparing people to provide for their families, to protect themselves, and to expand freedom.
01:58:20.000The wave top, my elevator pitch would be like, that's all we do.
01:58:28.000But for us not to hit the Titanic, it only took a couple of degrees change, right?
01:58:33.000And for the Titanic not to hit that iceberg, it would have just been like, early enough, us turning it just slightly.
01:58:41.000I don't think we're past a point where that can still be changed, where we can still avoid what would be the catalyst of destruction for this nation.
02:02:09.000We need a polar shift in the understanding of the importance of that.
02:02:14.000And I don't think you're getting that from many places.
02:02:17.000And I think really the only way you're getting that from is individuals like you speaking about it, people talking about it online, people that aren't captured by these massive institutions and corporations that do have a very specific narrative that they're discussing always and constantly.
02:02:35.000You're not getting these kind of conversations.
02:02:39.000They don't exist in the mainstream news.
02:02:41.000They don't exist anywhere else other than independent media.
02:03:31.000It's so crazy that they've managed to marginalize almost every positive thing and put it into a category of either racist or discriminatory or homophobic or whatever the fuck it is.
02:03:46.000There's a fascinating I'm not a study example of China combating information wise so like tick-tock The advertisements that are being fed to let's say a 14 year old boy, right?
02:04:05.000He's seen like drug vape things And in America that is the constant ad that he's being fed and And, you know, like, go and party, be a TikTok star, be a YouTube influencer.
02:04:19.000Like, these are the things he's being fed nonstop.
02:04:22.000That exact same age person in China, on a China app, they're talking about becoming a strong contributing member of the Chinese society, being good in school, being a good athlete.
02:05:01.000When they're trying to make stronger Chinese citizens, they're doing it because of a very specific government mandate that's trying to strengthen China.
02:07:57.000You get a great breakfast from the chickens.
02:07:59.000You just walk out and you pick up like these fantastic 10 grams of protein micronutrient rich things and you put them in a pan with some just butter.
02:08:43.000You know, Jack Carr from, you know, not just his success as an author, but also as a businessman.
02:08:48.000Like, we could just go down the list of all of these guys that just grabbed...
02:08:52.000The reins of their horse and started directing it in the thing that they were passionate about with discipline, a process and hard work, those three things yet again, and look at where they are right now.
02:09:02.000And I'm so proud to call them friends, but more importantly, I'm so proud that they're Americans because that's the idea.
02:09:35.000This administration would and will not call Hamas the radical extremist, violent extremist organization and terrorist organization that they are, but will call mega people radical insurrectionists.
02:09:52.000The two-party justice thing that we got going on right now is dangerous for a republic.
02:11:02.000Because I'm too concerned with, like, you know, being Special Forces Sniper School on our graduate or something stupid that I was at the time.
02:11:10.000Ultimately, during the field shoot, which is a must-pass event during sniper school, in the middle of it, he stands up and he quits.
02:11:18.000Literally just stands up and says, he makes a wind call in the opposite of the wind direction, so I see a left to right, so we should take the target, dissect it, and hold into the wind so the bullet travels and hit the target, right?
02:11:30.000So I see a left to right, and he gives me a right call.
02:12:13.000So they walk over to the people that have already shot and they say, hey, I need one person to volunteer for Tim with one target with one bullet.
02:13:01.000He volunteers and effectively puts his graduation go-no-go of Special Forces Sniper School on me to come and lay down with me to make a shot.
02:13:10.000So they get me an M118LR. It's a 175 grain match grade bullet for my.308.
02:13:17.000And they walk over and they go, here's your bullet.
02:13:34.000And when you're shooting really far, especially with a large kind of slower bullet, 2,600 feet per second for a 175 grain bullet, you see this laser going directly towards the target.
02:13:44.000So the moment I press that trigger, Mike's like, center center hit.
02:14:18.000And that was the Mike Glover that was condemned, that has spent 20 years serving his country in the military, and then spent an additional 10 years as a contractor working for the three-letter agencies protecting America.
02:14:32.000And then they have the audacity to label somebody like that.
02:15:00.000We check to see if their names and their passport numbers and their date of births are on any lists where I wouldn't want to bring one of these people into the United States that's on a list.
02:15:10.000I have a bunch of times, even in the past couple of weeks, I was like, man, I might just run Mike to see if he's still on there.
02:15:17.000But then I didn't want to because I didn't want to run a name and him to be on there or him not to be on there and them to look at me to see that I ran his name unnecessarily.
02:15:45.000I'm like, Shadowban, if you try to share one of my posts today, you're gonna get a notification from Instagram that I am sharing misinformation.
02:15:53.000And if you try to follow me on Instagram, if you go to Tim Kennedy MMA, you won't find me.
02:15:58.000You have to go down and tell you if I have like, you know, couple million followers, and you will not find a verified you'll see 20 fake Tim Kennedy's until you find the verified Tim Kennedy.
02:16:08.000And then if you click on it, and you say follow, it will give you a thing that says Tim Kennedy spreads misinformation.
02:16:15.000And you have to say, okay, follow for you to follow me on Instagram.
02:16:20.000Didn't they tell you that you had to remove certain factual posts?
02:17:10.000So the third party fact checker that I got a strike from because I said that we were missing over $2 billion before 9-11 that then went missing after 9-11.
02:18:42.000You have that Montana Knife Company hat.
02:18:46.000Josh from Montana Knife Company just posted something that he's been attacked because he showed a hunting photo, because his wife killed a late-season elk with a rifle.
02:18:57.000And they said a photo of this Nosler rifle, this beautiful rifle, the elk that they shot, the animal that they harvested that they're gonna eat.
02:19:05.000And he got notification that his account cannot be shown to anyone other than his followers.
02:19:44.000Ath is like one of the greatest humans to ever walk that face the planet.
02:19:48.000Can like I buy some knives and like hook me up, you know, with a good deal.
02:19:54.000He makes the the seventh special forces group red color for the their The emblem that you wear on your beret, that red, he puts on the handle of the speed goat, then he makes it black,
02:20:09.000and then he takes the crest and he puts it on the blade, and then he sends it to him to give to his dudes.
02:20:15.000And like, never saw an invoice, you know, just like, Josh being Josh, dude.
02:20:23.000Such a good guy and amazing business and an amazing story of a guy who he came up with a name Montana Knife Company and copyrighted or patented or whatever in I think he was 19 years old.
02:22:55.000Just have this specific ideology that they want to push on everyone and anything that's even remotely opposed to that, like hunting.
02:23:06.000How many of these people fucking eat meat and somehow or another they think that hunting somehow or another is in opposition to this leftist position?
02:23:35.000It's the only place that I can have a rational conversation and actually say what I think, as you should be able to do in the First Amendment way.
02:23:49.000There's no like inappropriate, like I try to say some funny things sometimes, but not like any of your freaking hilarious comedian friends, like the dude that just walked out.
02:26:10.000Huberman, I had Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on my podcast, and Huberman made a comment, and that comment was, I hope that more presidential candidates submit to long-term conversations like this.
02:26:41.000And they locked down his account, where you can't edit it anymore.
02:26:45.000They literally changed- and they said something about- I don't know what negative thing- I don't want to even say about it, but it's fucking insane.
02:29:03.000To have your first boxing match ever against the lineal heavyweight champion A six foot nine fucking juggernaut who's been beating everybody and rock him and then rock him again in the eighth round with a barrage of punches.
02:29:20.000I mean, it was fucking amazing performance.
02:29:40.000And when you see that guy's origin story, when you want to talk about a man who persevered, that guy for 14 months, he made his way from Cameroon to Morocco and seven times got arrested and sent back to the fucking Sahara Desert.
02:29:56.000And made his way right back to Morocco and finally made it across to Europe on a raft, was in prison for months, and then lived as a homeless person in a fucking parking garage in France.
02:30:19.000It's like the most unforgiving terrain with radical groups with property owners like water to water trying to travel the waters controlled by warlords so This his story is just a so inspiring.
02:30:33.000It's a comic book story It's like an origin story in a movie that you wouldn't believe and to have this guy Go in his first ever boxing match against a guy who nobody gave him any chance.
02:30:47.000And to have the Las Vegas odds, like the online betting odds in the last round in his favor was fucking incredible.
02:30:55.000Because it was like 14 to 1 at the start of the fight.
02:30:59.000And at the end of the fight, he was favored.
02:32:21.000And the fact that he gambled on himself.
02:32:23.000He vacated the UFC heavyweight title, which is the most prestigious title in all of combat sports.
02:32:29.000You can say anything you want about the world heavyweight boxing champion, but everybody fucking knows that the world heavyweight UFC champion will fuck that dude up in a real fight.
02:32:55.000Horrible to see because I was really looking for that fight with Stipe.
02:32:58.000But in a perfect world, Francis makes a fucking kajillion dollars and then the UFC re-signs him and then he fights John Jones for the most epic encounter in the history of combat sports.
02:33:37.000Right, and then what happens if he fights all those other guys?
02:33:42.000What happens he meet that motherfucker hit so hard and I was always wondering like what is it?
02:33:48.000How is his power with the big gloves on?
02:33:50.000Well, we fucking know we fucking know the look on Tyson Fury's eyes when he went down in the third round from that left hook He was like, oh Jesus.
02:34:16.000In the second round, there was a moment in the clinch where he hit Tyson Fury with an uppercut, but then the commentators didn't even notice it.
02:34:24.000He hit him with a right hand over the top, and the right hand was a short clubbing right hand.
02:34:28.000You see the look in Tyson Fury's eyes where he's like, Jesus.
02:35:17.000As crazy as this world has been, wrestling, boxing, and MMA, and jiu-jitsu, it has been so fun from this last ADCC to UFC, the past five, six, not the most recent card, but three or four of them this year have just been Dynamite.
02:35:54.000Because the reward that you get from it is...
02:35:56.000Well, everybody wants to talk about the bullying crisis, but the counterintuitive solution to the bullying crisis is teach bullies how to fight.
02:36:15.000Deep insecurity and this desire to impose yourself on other people to somehow or another make yourself feel better because you are lacking.
02:36:25.000And if you are not lacking, you don't want to do that.
02:36:28.000Do you think Francis Ngannou's a bully?
