00:03:58.000Biden tells the 82nd Airborne they're going to Ukraine, contradicting previous promise.
00:04:04.000President Joe Biden told troops from the 82nd Airborne Division stationed in Rzeszów, Poland that they would be going to Ukraine.
00:04:15.000During his first State of the Union address at the beginning of March, Biden promised that he would not be putting American boots on the ground.
00:04:21.000Quote, let me be clear, our forces are not engaged and will not engage in the conflict with the Russian forces in Ukraine.
00:04:27.000However, Biden's words in Poland imply he has changed his mind.
00:04:30.000Quote, you're going to see when you're there, you're going to see women, young people standing in the middle in front of a damn tank saying, I'm not leaving.
00:04:41.000White House forced to correct Biden after hinted U.S.
00:04:48.000troops would be sent into Ukraine in slip in speech to paratroopers in Poland.
00:04:53.000Following Biden's comments to the 82nd Airborne Division in Poland, the White House clarified, saying, the president has been clear we are not sending U.S.
00:05:00.000troops to Ukraine and there is no change in that position.
00:05:48.000People make a lot of mistakes when they're tired and their sleep patterns are drawn out.
00:05:52.000He's in Poland right now, so he's traveling.
00:05:54.000I could absolutely see something like this being a slip-up that he's just not ready for public speaking when he's that tired or that out of it.
00:06:01.000Yeah, like, um, he's already got a hypothetical set up in his mind.
00:06:03.000So he's like, when this hypothetical comes, that is a hypothetical, this will be the situation.
00:06:08.000But the word when, I mean, Rumsfeld said this about the Iraq war in 2002, before we were in Iraq, Afghanistan only, and he was like, when we go into Iraq, and it was like a signal.
00:06:57.000You know, I was talking to this guy in a secure military said.
00:07:01.000You know, it's gonna be a new world order and I'm like, you know what man?
00:07:06.000They must have this dude on so many pills to keep him moving.
00:07:11.000Because for someone his age to be traveling overseas to Europe, change in sleep schedule, working this much, I don't know how he does it, because I gotta be honest, I'm tired.
00:07:22.000You know, and I stay in this house most of the time just working.
00:07:24.000It's tough for me to, you know, watching it.
00:07:27.000I think we live in an age of double crosses and triple crosses.
00:07:31.000It's very hard for me to tell whether or not he's being puppeted or if he's just in on it and he's that sinister.
00:07:37.000And I think it's very hard to tell with a lot of these global figures in positions like his.
00:07:42.000I have a hard time believing that his is on purpose, or that he's doing it on purpose.
00:07:46.000I actually believe that drugs... I remember Sticks, Hex, and Hammer had a video when he got elected where he's like, I hope the CIA's like, I don't want him to be president, but if he is, give him the good drugs.
00:07:56.000The CIA, I hope they give him the good stuff to keep him awake so that people don't think our president's falling asleep at the wheel.
00:09:11.000I mean, or it'd be like the oligarchs like Klaus Schwab.
00:09:13.000But like, when I think of Kolomoisky and how he created that TV station to put Zelensky on a TV show, and then he made the political party to put Zelensky into power, who's he connected with?
00:09:25.000I think the people that win ultimately in this are the central bank financial cartels.
00:09:33.000And when you push You know, nations on a global stage to this level of pressure and desperation and, you know, it's all it's ultimately going to affect the currency.
00:09:46.000Yeah, it's also it's ultimately going to potentially crash the currency, which would give them the opportunity to usher in a new global digital currency, which which takes authoritarianism to an entirely new height.
00:09:57.000And I think that they I don't think that they've been shy about saying that that's their ambition.
00:10:01.000I think that we As individual citizens who don't have that type of sinister mindset find it hard to believe that they would sacrifice people in the Ukraine or anywhere else in order to achieve that goal.
00:10:12.000Now we got food shortages coming by fall because of fertilizer, because of exports in Ukraine.
00:10:20.000I think Ukraine and Hungary are pulling back on wheat exports.
00:10:23.000So Europe, they're going to be going hungry quite a bit.
00:11:14.000I mean, you know, heaven help us if a serial, someone with a psychotic individual serial killer mindset gets a high ranking position in the military.
00:12:11.000The mainstream media, the five-headed hydra, the New World Order, is very clear to me.
00:12:15.000You got big tech, you got the three industrial complexes, military, media, and medicine, and you got the central bank cartels.
00:12:23.000And they do their best to make it seem like they're not in on it together, but when you really take a step back and look at these things from a broader scope, they all interplay and they work together to Quell what stories they need to and promote others.
00:12:37.000I'm gonna pull this up every time someone mentions the New World Order, just so that I can say, here's what we're talking about.
00:12:43.000This is the Council on Foreign Relations News Guard, certified 100 out of 100.
00:12:47.000And they say, what is the Liberal World Order?
00:12:49.000They say, world leaders created a series of international organizations and agreements to promote global cooperation on issues including security, trade, health, and monetary policy.
00:12:56.000The United States has championed the system known as the Liberal World Order for the past 75 years.
00:13:00.000During this time, the world has enjoyed unprecedented peace and prosperity.
00:13:33.000There we go, look at this, look at this.
00:13:34.000Evaluate the success of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund in promoting trade, development, and economic stability.
00:13:39.000So we're talking about the banking industry, big tech, and all that stuff.
00:13:42.000Just, if you've got a problem with us believing that, take it up with the Council on Foreign Relations' own website, which says it's real.
00:13:49.000That's the only thing I have to say is, okay then, if you think that's a conspiracy theory, those crazy Council on Foreign Relations people putting those conspiracy theories up, they tricked us.
00:14:16.000I'm pretty sure if you look at the southern border with the cartels and look, some of the most dangerous parts of Mexico are right on the southern border of the United States.
00:14:24.000So yeah, I'm not I'm not about to agree with them.
00:14:28.000Like it's been unprecedented, unprecedented peace and prosperity.
00:14:30.000You're saying the whole premise is false as a nonstarter.
00:14:32.000Yeah, they might have something to it because there was like how many hundreds of millions were killed in the 1900s?
00:14:37.000World War I and II was the most grotesque thing the humans have ever done to themselves, really.
00:14:49.000And before in the 1800s, it was probably as gruesome, not as gruesome, because machine guns changed a lot, but pretty damn gruesome in the 1800s too, like really, really bad.
00:14:59.000So this maybe, I mean, I do think for the time that this had a purpose, but that the purpose has passed.
00:15:04.000I don't think that we need to go to an autocratic global corporate governance, but I think that the liberal economic order is over.
00:15:24.000I think what we're looking at right here is the fallout from.
00:15:30.000A psychopathic man named Adolf Hitler committing a very evil atrocity on a certain group of people and wanted to expand an empire and have the German war machine go and take over the world.
00:15:43.000And then you had a bunch of opportunists, whether out of fear or out of ambition, see the opportunity to use him as a scapegoat to say the only way we could stop this from happening is if we consolidate power into international governing bodies.
00:16:00.000And what's interesting about the way they want to do this is similar to what China has done.
00:16:06.000If you notice with China and how they've re-initiated the re-education camps, they call them re-education camps, because they know, and I'm not to say that the CCP hasn't killed Uyghurs or cultural minorities in these camps, What I'm saying is that they've moved this sort of Overton window of what it means to be tyrannical and evil in a societal framework.
00:16:28.000So they'll say, we're not killing them like they did the Jews.
00:16:33.000We're just putting them in re-education camps.
00:16:35.000And that sort of quells the visceral feeling we have towards what happened to the Jews.
00:16:39.000And I think the UN and these globalist international bodies are doing a similar thing when they talk about peace.
00:16:47.000They're not talking about the peace of soul or the peace of spirit.
00:16:51.000They're talking about physical conflict, but the whole scam is to make people very chaotic and unpeaceful in their minds and bodies and spirits.
00:16:58.000You can chain two people up and call it peaceful because they can't fight, but they're not going to be happy.
00:17:04.000That's not a good peace for those people.
00:17:05.000It's still a degradation of humanity and dignity.
00:17:12.000Well, yep, I'll take you back to the beginning because I respect you a lot.
00:17:15.000And I told you that I think what you've done man is really in all the people who have done what you've done creating these conversations is an unquantifiable contribution to society.
00:17:25.000Um, you know, my story all started, I'd say, I came onto the public scene as a basketball player at Iowa State University.
00:17:35.000I was an all-American high school athlete.
00:17:37.000I came up through the Nike prep circuit as well.
00:17:40.000I went to the University of Minnesota, which is in my hometown, but I transferred to Iowa State.
00:17:58.000And during this season, I talked publicly about my struggles with anxiety.
00:18:04.000And this was unique because a lot of people in the public square, especially collegiate athletes, but really any public figures, weren't talking about mental health.
00:18:13.000As much it certainly wasn't the mainstream sort of buzz topic that has become now and many could you could argue that I was sort of the first stone in that avalanche and and I'm and I'm actually kind of disturbed and disappointed at how it turned out and we'll talk about that trajectory here a little bit but but anyway.
00:18:31.000I started to talk about mental health and I was playing well.
00:18:35.000And so it got a lot of traction because the college sports writers were going, we never had a guy talk about anxiety, but we knew people had these issues.
00:18:43.000But also this guy is leading his team in every major statistical category.
00:18:57.000Um, so there's this whole paradigm is created now about, okay, so what do we mean when we say mental health then or mental health issues or struggles or mental illness or anxiety?
00:19:06.000And so as the season went on, I continued to prove that I could compete at the highest level against guys who were projected to be first round picks.
00:19:14.000This went into the NCAA tournament that's going on now.
00:19:17.000My team, Iowa State, is playing tonight, actually, in the Sweet 16.
00:19:21.000But in our tournament, we played the defending champs, UConn, coached by Jim Calhoun at the time.
00:19:26.000And I had an incredible game against them.
00:19:28.000They had two high-level first-round picks projected in that game.
00:19:31.000And then we played Kentucky, who had Anthony Davis on the team at the time, and six other first-round draft picks projected.
00:19:37.000And I was the dominant player in that game.
00:19:39.000So then, you know, the talk was, okay, this guy's probably one of the most NBA-ready players in his class.
00:19:46.000I declare for the draft, and something very, very strange, you could say, happened.
00:19:52.000It exploded the mental health conversation, because now the question was, how does the NBA view mental illness?
00:20:01.000Or do they view it as, you know, this integral piece of this comprehensive health model, right?
00:20:07.000This progressive view of health and mental health as a spectrum where everybody has a mental health, right?
00:20:12.000So that question was posed by the mainstream establishment.
00:20:16.000And the answer was, they did view it as a character flaw.
00:20:19.000And I pushed back on that narrative immediately.
00:20:22.000Like, as soon as the stories start to drop, Sports Illustrated, USA Today, Royce is declaring for the draft, but he's a mystery pick because of this whole anxiety snafu.
00:20:32.000I'm going, no, no, no, this ain't a character flaw.
00:20:34.000And the fact that it's even a question proves that you guys don't understand the real dynamic of what's happening with this mental health crisis.
00:20:41.000Long story short, I get drafted to the Houston Rockets 16th, but I was projected to have a top five talent, NBA ready skill set.
00:20:50.000And upon my arrival in the NBA, I discovered by reading through my collective bargain agreement, our CBA, that there wasn't a single mention of mental health in the entire document.
00:21:02.000And I went to my team and I said, listen, I want I want to be as good of a player and as productive as I possibly can be for you guys.
00:21:10.000But I understand that obviously by the language in this document that the understanding around mental health and the issue like the one I deal with anxiety disorders is lacking and I'm willing to have an open conversation with you guys transparently about what I deal with so that we can have a better relationship and trying to make me the most productive player I could be.
00:21:47.000And the real reason that I said we needed to put it in writing, because the CBA already had a banned substance list that had anti-anxiety medication on it.
00:21:56.000Okay, so now I'm going, Everybody's telling this narrative that the pro sports world is uninitiated with mental health as a topic.
00:22:04.000But here's this banned substance list with tons of mental health related content in it.
00:22:11.000So somebody knew something about mental health or knows something.
00:22:14.000And so I said, OK, so let's say, for example, they basically said, well, look, you can take the Xanax because Xanax was on the banned substance.
00:22:37.000It's the most addictive drug there is in the world.
00:22:40.000And so they were right to have it on the banned substance list.
00:22:42.000But my point was to say, hey, the reason I mostly take Xanax is because I have a fear of flying or that fear of flying exacerbates my anxiety.
00:22:52.000So how about we cut some of the Xanax out per year by allowing me to drive from Minnesota to, say, Chicago.
00:24:06.000uh... so you can either play or you'll never become the spokesperson that you could and
00:24:11.000we could make you be on this issue and I've been fighting that battle for the
00:24:15.000last ten years Did you leave the league right away?
00:24:18.000uh... I gave them the ultimatum that we needed to put a mental health policy in
00:24:21.000place or that I wouldn't play And then what happened?
00:24:26.000I was traded from Houston to, well, what happened was the Houston Rockets owner at the time, Leslie Alexander, who now sold the team to Fertitta, who owns it now, but at the time it was Leslie Alexander, and his attorney said to me, hey, my daughter has anxiety.
00:25:12.000Actually, we'll start designing the policy, which we did.
00:25:15.000And basically, they walked in there after two months of back and forth and them telling me that, you know, for me to bust to a game could be a salary cap infringement and, you know, all of these other weird kind of, you know, business tactics, intimidation tactics.
00:25:32.000They finally just came in and said they sent an emissary, right?
00:25:35.000And it was this attorney and he goes, listen, my daughter has anxiety.
00:25:38.000She doesn't like to fly either, but I'd make her and she'll thank me for it later.
00:25:47.000And if you agree to go to our D-League, which is now called the G-League, minor league affiliate, In the offseason, I'll help you put this mental health policy in place, and I'll make sure that the owners accept it.
00:25:58.000When the offseason came, there was no talk of that policy, and I was traded to Philadelphia.
00:26:03.000And Philadelphia released me before the season started, even though the local media there in Philly thought that I was a shoo-in to make that team.
00:26:10.000But Sam Henke, who had been the assistant GM under Darryl Morey, who is an interesting character in this whole story arc, he was the understudy of Darryl Morey.
00:26:21.000So they basically did a trade and dump.
00:26:26.000I had the inclination or the instinct to block the trade, but I was encouraged by the union that it would be maybe advantageous for me because Philadelphia is in this East Coast corridor and there's a lot of games that I would be able to drive to throughout the season.
00:26:40.000Ultimately, after the Philadelphia thing, I just didn't get another shot.
00:26:44.000I had medical professionals, mental health professionals write letters and say, this mental health issue is real.
00:26:51.000That the NBA is in a perfect position to back up its promotion of caring about the greater good by just putting in a very simple, doable mental health policy.
00:27:12.000I thought that I was going to be able to bridge the gap through genuine participation of some type of attitude or perspective that they had gotten wrong.
00:27:25.000The entire corporatocracy knew that psychological, that the predatory predation, let's say, on the human psychology was the next iteration of the war that they wanted to wage on the common people.
00:27:39.000I didn't get that at the time, that social media was around the corner.
00:27:43.000And the dopamine, the dopamine war was coming down, coming around.
00:27:50.000So when I went to talk about mental health and say, hey, hold on, there's a mental health, there's a cultural mental health renaissance and revolution that needs to happen here right now.
00:27:59.000I'm sitting there thinking that they had archaic views about mental health, but I was mistaken.
00:28:02.000They were advanced around the human psychology and they plan to be predatory with it.
00:28:07.000So they were planning on, like, they knew that it was going to be weaponized, like mental illness would be weaponized, so they didn't want to get involved in it or something?
00:28:16.000There are companies, when it comes to mobile apps, there was a viral, I covered this several years ago, a company says, we can program your audience for you.
00:28:25.000So when you've got big companies that are planning on making mobile apps, they're going to consultants saying, how can we make it so that people can become addicted to this?
00:28:32.000And then the company will analyze their data and be like, do these things, and people will become addicts.
00:28:40.000And you can place that or stand that next to a 21-year-old kid coming in saying, hey, why is the alcohol cut off not at halftime?
00:28:51.000Why is it morally and ethically okay for us to use taxpayer money to build these arenas and then build parking structures where we basically incentivize people to drink and drive with their kid, or come to the game and get drunk in front of their kid, or even worse, somebody else's kid, and yell this belligerent shit at the game?
00:29:11.000And I'm sitting here saying all of this based on logic and reason, and they're like, we're about to go to town on the working class through psychological manipulation.
00:29:20.000I think it's simpler put, to be honest.
00:29:23.000Because I think, you know, the way you describe it is, it's what's happening.
00:29:28.000But their attitude is probably like, how much did we just pay this guy to make our mobile app that makes these young kids addicted to it?
00:29:49.000But there's a canary in the coal mine in this situation.
00:29:52.000Yes, in the immediate, they're like, this kid is trying to change the status quo, and that's a danger.
00:29:58.000But the mental health topic, as a topic in general, is the one topic that puts a mirror up to the individual.
00:30:05.000So in spirit, they didn't want to have the mental health conversation because they didn't want to have to look at themselves.
00:30:10.000Your story to me sounds like you thought that once you got in, people would be willing to engage with you and you'd have a positive impact.
00:30:17.000But the reality is, for political office even, you end up getting into a position where there's a train coming at you and you're trying to push against it.
00:30:27.000So you go in in good faith, think you're going to have this impact, and then we hear it across the board from the presidency to members of Congress.
00:30:33.000It's like as soon as you get in, the machine controls you.
00:30:36.000And then if you resist it enough, eventually the machine just shoves you out of the way.
00:30:41.000And you know, as a young kid growing up, I grew up in the Michael Jordan era.
00:30:57.000And when you when you grow up in a single mother household and she pays the rent with her tips and and you go to the gym and you create a relationship with the with the local recreation center manager and he allows you to spend that extra time in the gym all by yourself, just shooting, just shooting, playing games with yourself to 100.
00:31:27.000A very naive view of what the basketball industry or basketball itself is all about.
00:31:33.000And I really thought that the NBA was this institution that was based on all of the things that basketball had been for me growing up.
00:31:43.000A safe haven, a place of teamwork and hard work, genuineness, meritocracy.
00:31:48.000And you get there and it's just like, nah kid, we're a cog in the machine.
00:31:52.000And don't rail against us because we'll squash you.
00:31:56.000How do you get, so what's the next step in this process for you?
00:31:58.000How do you get from there to now you're running as a Republican against Ilhan Omar?
00:32:02.000Seems like there's a big, something big happened in between there.
00:32:06.000Well, a lot of things happened, but mainly that the same liberal establishment that I've watched take hold of the cultural narrative over the last 10 years was the same one that tried to defame me and poke fun at me 10 years ago.
00:32:19.000It's the same one that is making a lot of money in China?
00:32:39.000It was the most peculiar thing because I was a nomad up until that point.
00:32:44.000It was a cultural Democrat as many young black men are growing up in these inner cities.
00:32:47.000They're cultural Democrats, although they tend to be conservative really culturally, but in party affiliation, they tend to be Democrat.
00:32:55.000Um, and it was just the oddest thing to me.
00:32:56.000I had never seen just me personally for somehow I had never seen people go after somebody who was so reasonable and logical and just seemed to be kind of a nice guy with such obscene and ridiculous points. And I'm sitting here as a person who fought the NBA
00:33:13.000going, I have genuine points about the establishment that we
00:33:43.000And then I wrote a book, an open letter to LeBron James entitled Epistle to the King.
00:33:47.000And I basically lay this out from post-World War II all the way up until the 2016 election of Donald Trump of how the black community has been basically used as this lynchpin, this cultural lynchpin of this Marxist, you know, this sort of Marxist globalist revolution.
00:36:16.000So look, the George Floyd thing happened.
00:36:18.000So I write this letter to LeBron James where I basically lay out how black people, specifically pop black figures, have been used as a three-card Monty to not only Keep the black community in this place of submission as a community, but they've been used to now go and attack the rights of others on the grounds of this cultural, you know, this culture war and an information war.
00:36:51.000And my whole point to LeBron James was to say that in the position you've been given, God given, That you have an obligation to lead in a way that's more genuine, authentic, and honest.
00:37:03.000That was the whole crux of the book, but I had to go through the history, right?
00:37:07.000Because I can't just assume that he's initiated into this post-World War II liberal world order type, you know, I just didn't assume that.
00:37:15.000So I kind of took him through it in good faith.
00:37:18.000And then George Floyd happens and I'm like, oh, I just wrote about what I need to go do.
00:37:24.000And so I knew from watching the narrative be crafted and manipulated by the mainstream media that they were going to try and hijack that moment in a variety of ways.
00:37:37.000And I knew that I was perfectly positioned to go into my community and lead in a way that changed the narrative.
00:37:51.000Real, real unrest that was on the verge of being anarchy.
00:37:55.000It was anarchy, but it was on the verge of getting really out there.
00:37:59.000And in the middle of that, I said, I called my basketball friends up, other guys who have big names in Minnesota sports community at least.
00:38:07.000And I said, we got to go do something.
00:38:32.000And you know a lot of these young white liberal women who want to participate and you know are really passionate and active.
00:38:39.000I'm sitting on top of the stoop outside the outside of the Federal Reserve and we're doing a die-in at the Federal Reserve and they're looking at me like I got three eyes like why are we here?
00:39:04.000But the establishment has gotten really good at fooling people.
00:39:07.000And I was able to go out and fight that just by being one man with a profile in my community that had gained the respect of a few people in my immediate circle.
00:39:18.000And who would stand around me at a moment of chaos and turmoil and lead, physically take dominion in a community and say, hey, if you have a grievance, that's great.
00:39:29.000You should participate as a citizen, peacefully.
00:39:32.000And if you want to negotiate the social contract between you and the state, you first have to identify the institutions that really preside over you.
00:39:40.000And if you don't know what the Fed is, when we get here and do this Diane, I'm going to tell you a little bit about it.
00:39:44.000The mainstream media didn't even want to cover that.
00:39:46.000They wanted it to seem like I was a emerging civil rights activist for Black Lives Matter, and they didn't want to give me any airtime, once again, to explain my position, because it's antithetical to what they were trying to accomplish.
00:39:58.000And so that's how, eventually, in 2020, when we played with the Big Three again, Jeff Kwatnitz, who was a co-owner with Ice Cube, used to be partners with Steve Bannon, and I told Jeff, if you don't introduce me to Steve, Me and you aren't friends anymore.
00:41:26.000You know, when you start saying, I'm an ex-veteran, Muslim, Somali, immigrant, who's a battered woman, I have three kids, I'm a single mom, you're just playing the same identity politics game that the Democrats have played.
00:41:39.000I mean, this would sound like conspiracy theory, but I can completely see in a guy like Soros taking a very similar Republican candidate, putting a Republican tag on them, and running the same identity, Marxist political game theory, you know, and hedge his bets.
00:42:00.000So, you know, I'm not saying that that's true.
00:42:02.000I'm just saying that the rhetoric from her is like, I'm a neoliberal who's Republican.
00:42:08.000And I just think that that's completely inappropriate.
00:42:11.000I think it's manipulative, dishonest, and I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that I'm the GOP candidate.
00:42:35.000There were a lot of people saying that Kim Klesik was wasting people's money and energy by trying to run in an area that was so heavily Democrat.
00:42:50.000At the very least, the fact that you are running, you are spreading a message, you are telling people there's an alternative, you're telling people there's an option.
00:42:57.000If no one ever tries in these districts to win it all, You lose the whole thing slowly.
00:43:05.000The more important thing is that, and this is a fair criticism of the Republican establishment, I think, and myself being an athlete, a lifelong athlete and competitor.
00:43:16.000If you're on a team, if us four are on a team and we come to practice every day, you show up late, you smoke weed during the week, you party, you don't get sleep.
00:43:24.000When we get to practice, you don't know the plays.
00:43:35.000The coach is talking, you're playing with your hair or telling a joke.
00:43:38.000All that I can deduct from that is that you don't want to win.
00:43:42.000You don't want to play and you don't want to win.
00:43:45.000And I think the Republican establishment has to be, you know, there has to be real, There has to be a very real skepticism of the genuineness of the Republican platform at the party level right now, because where is the evidence that they won't actually win these elections?
00:44:23.000You think they're getting bought out and don't realize they're getting bought out by the liberal world?
00:44:26.000No, I think a lot of them are the controlled opposition.
00:44:28.000And look, I don't want to be disparaging to the Republican Party because I just got here.
00:44:32.000I'm just a third party who came from the void as a nomad and renegade anti-establishment guy.
00:44:37.000And I'm saying that the evidence of the Republicans trying to actually put forward an effort to really win and fight in these districts that they say are unwinnable is so few and far between that I can't come up with any other reason that either they're just losers, some of them, or they're actually in on it and they're getting a kickback for the managed decline.
00:45:15.000And it turns out, these schools, you've got all of the critical race theory, you've got all the wokeness, gender ideology.
00:45:23.000You've got the left, the Democrats, and the progressives going into red areas Spreading the word, recruiting, trying to slip it in under the door.
00:45:36.000In urban areas, Republicans are told, don't bother fighting at all.
00:46:03.000Anything that your little heart desires you can have and there is no judgment about it.
00:46:08.000That's a good sales pitch for the physical realm for the here and now which is kind of how the Bible becomes profound and saying that this thing is all going to go to hell eventually because people become more interested and their wickedness than they are in their faith in God.
00:46:23.000So my point in bringing that up is not to say that this needs to become a theocracy or to try and be a Bible thumper, but what I'm saying is that it's very clear that that paradigm should incentivize and make it even more urgent that the Republicans have to fight at every place that they possibly can.
00:46:44.000Because if not, you have to transform hearts and minds and give people deeper meaning to their life because the drugs and the fast validation and reward is on the Democrat side.
00:46:57.000It is true that George Soros provided funding for local district attorneys in a variety of places around the country.
00:47:05.000I think The Guardian reported on that.
00:47:06.000Fox News got all mad when Newt Gingrich said it.
00:47:10.000This is like mainstream reporting that's doing this.
00:47:12.000So you've got powerful leftist organizations and institutions going into conservative areas, changing how the laws are being enforced, changing how schools are teaching these kids, Florida, for instance, right?
00:47:25.000I mean, they're passing these laws because they have the political power to do so, and it is an issue.
00:47:29.000But hearing it in West Virginia, people don't want to believe it.
00:47:32.000Republicans need to be going into blue districts and doing what you're doing.
00:47:37.000Coming on shows, writing books, putting out the messages, speaking, and just in general, doing the same thing.
00:47:44.000Where are the conservatives, moderates, or libertarians?
00:47:56.000I mean, I come from a cultural Democrat community, and I can just say that the conservative representation as I was growing up is completely non-existent.
00:48:05.000So it's not just in the here and now that the Republicans haven't pushed back or dedicated or invested in the minority vote.
00:48:12.000And I don't say minority to play Uh, intersectional politics.
00:48:15.000I'm just saying that minorities as a demographic, Latinos and blacks make up a significant portion of the voter base.
00:48:21.000And they, I wouldn't, I had no idea what the Republican platform is.
00:48:25.000And that's not all due to the Democrats or the mainstream media that's due to a laziness and an inaction on their behalf.
00:48:30.000So I'm happy to be able to fight, you know, for that now.
00:48:33.000Whenever, you know, Seamus is on the show fairly often, and we'll talk about religion, and we'll often point out to people when we're having conversations, maybe like off the show or whatever, a lot of the arguments made by secular liberals and atheists tend to be a caricature of the beliefs of Christian conservatives or, you know, Christian groups because they don't interact with them.
00:48:55.000Typically what you'll see is, you know, we talk about there'll be a meme Ascribing a belief to conservatives that isn't true, and then you actually ask someone who's a regular churchgoer and they'll be like, we don't do that.
00:49:06.000I think the issue is, one thing they don't really do is go into these areas and just meet and talk with people, be active in the school meetings, actively campaign, put up billboards, try and actually run.
00:49:43.000I agree with you, and I think the Republican Party, or the free people, let's say, in this country, should definitely invest in putting up the fight.
00:49:54.000And I believe in the war of attrition.
00:49:57.000But I will say that I think we have a good chance of beating her in this election.
00:50:00.000I think you're interesting because you have a unique perspective on mental health.
00:50:04.000I have a feeling that a lot of what people are going through now is a lot of mental health issues.
00:50:07.000I went through it in like 2006-2007 when I got into social media, started doing internet videos, and I went slowly, went crazy, rapidly went crazy.
00:50:13.000After like two years, I wanted to kill myself.
00:50:24.000I think so many people are going through that right now, this despair, and then they're medicating.
00:50:29.000And, I mean, you were talking about the medical, global military or medical industry, you named that as one of your five heads on the Hydro.
00:50:35.000The food and medical industry combined, the sugar industry.
00:50:39.000The food is the medical industrial complex.
00:50:40.000Dude, if these people that, and I think because they're numbed and they're afraid, they're just voting for what the TV tells them to vote for.
00:50:54.000So when the globalists, for example, say you're going to own nothing and be happy, they don't mean we're going to make your lives more meaningful or more healthy.
00:51:03.000They're saying we're going to make the material high so good that you're not going to notice we're stealing from you.
00:51:08.000You're not going to notice that we're fucking you.
00:51:10.000And that's really what they mean when they say it.
00:51:13.000And what they're relying on ultimately is to say, we're big and you're small.
00:51:19.000So even if you know, and a lot of cultural Democrats and liberals do and are amenable to the idea that there is a system or the man or an elite that are screwing them, but their MO is that I have no power in that game.
00:51:34.000And that's part of how a lot of the politics at the grassroots level have devolved into the identity politics, because they say, well, if I can't win at a big scale, then I'm going to make you say my pronouns.
00:52:35.000I think because they have a fundamental, that there's a thread of Christianity baked into the Republican Party, that they rightfully now see the order of charity in the proper way.
00:54:09.000I just come from the sports world where the underdog is, not only can you win, but it's so, it feels so damn good when you're the underdog and you win anyway.
00:54:19.000So just as a sportsman and a competitor, this was the only, I could have run in a district that was more red.
00:54:26.000I could have run in a statewide race where we had a bigger Republican constituency, Governor, Senate.
00:54:32.000But to go into the Belly of the Beast first is honorable.
00:54:36.000It's actually fruitful, in my opinion.
00:54:38.000I moved to New York City after college, 2001.
00:54:41.000September 5th, six days before the buildings came down.
00:54:43.000And my dad was like, you're going into the Belly of the Beast, Ian.
00:55:29.000You've got the homeless crisis, you've got the drug crisis, you've got the failed policies, you've got human waste all over the streets, and then you've got people saying that California is five years ahead of the rest of the country.
00:55:40.000So you look at stories like this, and it's like this Ben & Jerry's manager is just like a regular guy.
00:55:45.000Is this Ben & Jerry's, like the ice cream?
00:56:46.000And to be fair, it's like what you're saying, you have to keep fighting because the, I mean, I hate to make this a left versus right thing.
00:57:36.000Yeah, so like you you have to at least be willing to fight for those. What's the point? You're just giving in yeah
00:57:40.000No, I mean and these people aren't messing around They're not kidding around.
00:57:44.000I mean, I think the whole three card multi manipulation is whoever the voters are now, let's guilt them into voting Democrat because Republicans are racist.
00:57:52.000And while that takes place, we will we will use those wins to systematically go into the communities at the grassroots educational school level and indoctrinate the next generation so that we won't even have to we won't even have to lie anymore.
00:58:07.000We won't even have to manipulate them.
00:58:08.000They'll believe the things we believe.
00:58:10.000The Three Carmontis, like that game where you have three cups with like a ball under it.
00:58:14.000And so you're saying they're using the black community as like a distraction and they're getting people to look away so that they can move the card?
00:58:20.000The Holocaust and Adolf Hitler are the scapegoat and the justification for New World Order.
00:58:25.000Black people are the justification for authoritarianism, authoritarian church of LGBTQ anti-human American politics.
00:59:12.000It's through the the subtle, very underhanded presentation of a white supremacy patriarchy and that if you vote Republican then that is the patriarchy and so black people are just but it's also the Republicans don't feel the need to clear that up.
01:00:09.000What's wrong is when you give yourself the right to violate somebody else's natural, God-given, inalienable human rights based on their race.
01:01:02.000But he was like, but I joined the army, in the German, and I was on a military base, so is he technically, he's an Italian citizen, he's an American citizen?
01:01:09.000All I'm saying is that what is white gets murky.
01:01:14.000Because black were full swath brought over In a transatlantic slave trade and we lost our indigenous ties, but a lot of the white immigrants that came to this country came with those cultural ethnic heritage is still intact.
01:01:31.000So yeah, I mean it gets murky when you go to the ancestral place.
01:01:35.000I would say that if you look at communities.
01:01:38.000Um, black blacks tend to be grouped in certain areas, but that's changing is gentrification.
01:01:44.000But there's nothing wrong with saying that there's race.
01:01:46.000I don't like when the right sometimes has this boomerang effect where whatever the absurd cultural narrative is on the left, they just go opposite out of That happened with the Florida Parental Rights and Education Bill.
01:01:58.000I started seeing a bunch of conservatives following the narrative of the left that the bill stopped teachers from teaching kids about being gay or whatever, which is just absolutely not true.
01:02:10.000The bill in no way stops teachers from walking up to a kid and saying these things.
01:02:13.000And I'm like, the bill came out, There was a debate and amendments over it, and then the bill that was seeking to be passed says nothing to do about banning the word gay.
01:02:22.000It just says you can't have, you know, sex ed effectively for pre-K to third grade.
01:02:26.000But the Democrats ran with this narrative because it was effective.
01:02:29.000And then I saw Republicans arguing that narrative.
01:02:38.000Yeah, well, and it's just, you know, it's part of his laziness, you know, and just intellectual laziness.
01:02:45.000And we built a society that makes it very hard to be a deep, critical thinker.
01:02:49.000Yeah, I like talking about the differences of genetics of species of people because of the ancestry.
01:02:54.000Like, that's fascinating to me that sickle cell anemia, for instance, was showing up more readily in like the black community in the 60s or something because of some genetic I think the issue with racism, we've talked to a lot of people about it.
01:03:04.000interesting to talk about with everybody, any race, color,
01:03:45.000Because if you were to try and make an argument about, like, well, the average height, or it's like, well, I mean, some people are black and short and some people are black and tall.
01:03:54.000And so that's the problem with race is that it really, really is superficial.
01:03:57.000Granted, I think a conversation around... Well, it's superficial unless 30 million black babies are genocided at Planned Parenthood over 60 years.
01:04:07.000That's where race gets real, real for me.
01:04:11.000So, you know, my point to my conservative Republican counterparts is to say, stop saying racism isn't real because you're giving these neoliberals an out.
01:04:20.000That's crazy, because I thought it like, I think of it as a class issue, but I think you're right that there was some serious racism going on by the people.
01:04:49.000If we talk, look, I'm against, I'm anti-abortion.
01:04:55.000But we've put the law into motion and there's a trajectory that makes it hard to undo without potential unintended consequences.
01:05:05.000So I don't, I'm not gonna say that 12 weeks is, I don't know what viable is.
01:05:10.000To me as a Christian, I'm just gonna say that maybe the government shouldn't have the choice, but culturally, spiritually, and philosophically, For me personally, to have a black mother, a black grandmother, black sisters, that we failed as a black community, one, but we failed as an American culture that women would choose abortion.
01:05:31.000So there's two separate things to go on there, I think.
01:05:34.000One of the two most important questions that were asked to Judge Katonji Brown Jackson, what is a woman?
01:05:41.000She said she couldn't provide a definition.
01:05:43.000And that, to me, is absolutely absurd.
01:05:45.000She was also asked- Then it's not a celebration that she's become a Supreme Court Justice at that point.
01:05:57.000The other question was about when life begins.
01:05:59.000We need to, to the best of our abilities, try and quantify the world around us so that we can create effective policy and help protect people and grant them civil rights.
01:06:11.000If we can't define a phrase, we can't protect it.
01:06:14.000So in the instance of abortion and what is a woman, The reason, in my opinion, the left won't give you a definition, they'll say, I don't know when life begins, maybe after birth or something.
01:06:24.000They have no clearly defined point, is because that way they can't do moral wrong.
01:06:29.000Because if you say life begins at conception, it's a moral wrong at any point.
01:06:48.000I think it's, it's easily defined in terms of what they're doing.
01:06:52.000If a judge can't tell you what a woman is, but then in the same meeting, in the same hearing with only a few minutes say, Roe v. Wade is important, it protects a woman's right to terminate her pregnancy.
01:07:36.000To disavow yourself and detach yourself from the Logos is to give yourself carte blanche, to apply morals and ethics however you see fit, when you see fit, advantageous, in most cases, for you to be cruel and predatory and immoral.
01:08:20.000The only reason I pause is because when I think of human I wouldn't accept the premise that the goal on the left is to even properly identify or outline what human is like he's saying and I think that in general they have a very anti-human spirit and this abortion thing
01:08:36.000is part and parcel of it so I wouldn't even accept the premise that they are in any way
01:08:41.000concerned with the idea of humans or humanity. They're not. Let me ask you a question. They
01:08:47.000actually think human life in general can be deduced down to suffering and uncertainty. It's a... yeah.
01:09:09.000Um, I believe it's not mine, but I believe there's an energy field around me that I would consider my soul or a soul that I is my soul, you know, do you feel it?
01:10:47.000And then I thought about, well, if someone tells me they've never experienced and they don't feel it, maybe it's not that they're cut off or that either of us are wrong.
01:10:56.000It's that they genuinely don't have that.
01:11:22.000Maybe the aggregation of sin across time has deadened the spiritual connection at mass and that some individuals unexpectedly and completely randomly are born without a spiritual connection.
01:11:39.000But my response to that would be to say that individuals can be brought back as a Christian.
01:11:46.000Individuals can be brought back into faith and grace when introduced and practicing.
01:11:51.000That there is a physical way to practice to become reconnected to the spiritual.
01:12:30.000I started thinking about that and I'm like, if DMT is naturally occurring in your brain, then are you really dreaming or are you getting a small glimpse of the window beyond the veil?
01:12:42.000Of course DMT makes people force right through it.
01:12:45.000The spirit molecule or whatever, as I describe it, what if...
01:12:48.000Some people don't produce enough to create a strong connection with whatever is beyond the veil.
01:14:00.000Here's one I know from being on anti-anxiety medication such as fluoxetine, which is Prozac, which is one of the most prescribed drugs in the world, in America, let's say.
01:14:13.000But it's all of the SSRIs, the serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors, are proven to bring testosterone down.
01:14:22.000So there there are I mean what the what we're putting into our body Can't be dismissed out of hand as the overall effect.
01:14:29.000It's having on society But but the question is is how much of that has been intentionally engineered and that's like we were talking soul earlier now I don't know if that's soul if we're talking soul if you're just talking about your ability to function normally but I have you know, we were talking earlier about substance abuse and actually SSRIs and Whether you're talking Xanax, Prozac, anything from those families.
01:14:52.000Any of those dulls your senses, and if we're talking about your ability to feel the world around you, which, you know, whether you're talking your soul, whatever that is, your ability to understand and feel the world as it happens to you is deadened and is quieted by those chemicals, and then you have to talk about whether that was intentionally done into our communities, if it was done You know, certain people are going to have brain imbalances.
01:15:15.000I was on, uh, I was on Prozac when I was younger, uh, eventually went off it and had took a lot of years to get off of everything entirely.
01:15:23.000Um, and I was, I still, I tell the story a lot.
01:15:25.000Like the first time when I realized that I could go outside without going through any withdrawal symptoms, I cried for like maybe the first time in 10, 15 years, not because nothing sad had happened to me before that, but just because there was no actual reason or way for my body to process trauma.
01:15:41.000Before that so if you're talking about coming back to the world that was the first time in a lot of years I'd felt like soul.
01:15:48.000It feels like when you have that level mental, you know mental Health struggles anxiety depression When there are moments when you when you when you're with yourself and you really can identify that fog And when you come out of it, it's like whoa, then you really realize like that was really a deep fog I was in I just think that there's a spiritual component to it, like you're laying out.
01:16:16.000I think where we're going with science, where we're headed with science by and large at this global science technocratic behest, I don't think that that's what this transhuman movement is about.
01:16:32.000attitude and not trying to use this science to really ingenuinely figure out the link between us and the
01:16:42.000I don't think that that's what this transhuman movement is about.
01:16:46.000I think this transhuman movement is to phase people out altogether because
01:16:50.000they're nihilistic about the value of humanity.
01:16:52.000I thought Greg Brayden is a good scientist that seems to be on the right path.
01:16:57.000He has acknowledged a lot of like, he's not into that stuff, but he understands like the power of the heart and the electromagnetic frequency that it produces and stuff.
01:17:07.000Many scientists have written about the next iteration of life beyond self-replicating proteins and multicellular organisms is self-replicating machines that can outlive all of us.
01:17:16.000So, I read this one story about what year one million would look like, and it basically said that all human life and all life has been wiped off of Earth, but there are self-replicating massive machines that float around the universe, taking millions or billions of years to travel to the next energy deposit, absorb it, and then replicate itself.
01:18:35.000But when Neuralink can plug your brain in...
01:18:38.000I see it like, there are many powerful individuals who wish they could just make you do something, but they can't.
01:18:44.000You have rights, and you have physical control of your body, so they can come at you and say, do it or else, and you can say no, and then what do they do?
01:19:19.000And also in the metaverse, they can also be like, um, we're going to make your voice half as loud.
01:19:24.000We're going to make everyone the same height.
01:19:27.000Everyone wants to do as tall as they're told.
01:19:28.000And if I'm the owner, if you're Mark Zuckerberg, you can be sitting, you can be sitting in this metaverse public square and someone comes in and says, I need to tell everybody about this oil spill.
01:19:42.000Maybe not necessarily him personally, but Facebook has been purging political ideas.
01:19:47.000Because we already exist in a digital space, in terms of our political conversations, big tech has already shown us what they will do if given more power over it.
01:20:49.000But right now, That's one of the biggest scams.
01:20:54.000That's socialism masquerading as being anti-corporate, but at the global scale, socialism actually becomes the highest level of corporation.
01:21:05.000And that's what the progressive left is really trying to do in their political strategy.
01:21:11.000Steve, who I love dearly, he gives Bernie his credit for some of his positions, but I see Bernie's position in AOC and these people as not being anti-corporate.
01:21:26.000I see that they're in on the game to merge government and state.
01:21:32.000I mean, state and corporation at the global level, and thus usher in the serfdom, which I know Steve has talked to and agrees with, too.
01:21:40.000But them saying they're anti-corporate is just a problem with the premise that socialism... The problem with the premise is that the state already isn't the highest form of government.
01:21:53.000Many people don't see... I mean, the highest form of corporation.
01:21:56.000Many people don't see the state as a corporation.
01:23:03.000What's strange to me is how many people, and I guess, I mean, it's not shocking to me because I was the guy 10 years ago saying the mental health epidemic is here and it's going to get worse.
01:23:13.000And people were like, Mainstream, liberal, you know, writers and journalists were going, what do you mean everybody's suffering from mental illness?
01:23:23.000I mean, the evidence is clear, but I see this whole Ready Player One scenario as being more dangerous than people think on a practical level very soon because the Neuralink situation, for example, If you're not going to own anything but be happy, that means you're certainly not going to own your Neuralink.
01:24:22.000So it looks like what we have right now is basic read only.
01:24:27.000If we're getting to the point where you can read and write into a brain, allowing you to have experiences, that means there's going to have to be a calibration for your brain because everyone's brain is different.
01:24:37.000Everyone's brain has different amounts of chemicals in it or whatever.
01:24:41.000But getting to that point, I think implants aren't going to work.
01:24:46.000It's going to have to be something that you can wear on your head that wirelessly projects things into your mind, which I'm not sure is possible.
01:24:54.000But the idea that people are going to go and get fitted with surgery to have something I don't see as being realistic.
01:25:01.000A lot of people aren't going to want that surgery.
01:25:05.000Unless they create an economic situation where to not do it would make you so disadvantaged that you feel left out of society.
01:25:14.000Many people will do many things to feel a sense of belonging to the society around them.
01:25:19.000That's getting your testicles or penis cut off because you think you feel like a woman.
01:25:23.000Is there any job you can work right now if you don't have a cell phone?
01:25:27.000I'm sure there, I'm sure, it's not absolute, there are some, but- Some.
01:25:49.000If we get to the point where they can do read-write into your brain, but you'll need a surgical implant, if they go... I'll tell you this.
01:25:56.000If they went right now and said, Neuralink is available, it's a surgical implant, it costs $2,000, lasts you for life, and you can physically experience X-Men, Skyrim, Elden Ring, whatever, you're gonna have millions of young men outright being like, save me from this.
01:26:17.000I don't wanna be here anymore, this sucks.
01:26:19.000I don't know about young women, because what we see with Instagram, they're much more motivated by social behaviors.
01:26:27.000Men would be like, just get me away from it.
01:26:59.000You have to love the process of working hard, putting some sweat and some time and some energy and commitment into something and seeing the result.
01:27:06.000I think like along with what you were saying, Brett, that the love, the joy that is lost when you're medicated.
01:27:20.000You talk about like drug, being drugged by, by our own refuse.
01:27:24.000I don't know if you consider that a drug at this point, but if it's in your blood and it's not a food then.
01:27:28.000But also it's the, it's the narrative that it's not worth it anymore.
01:27:31.000There's a lot of that going on that no matter how hard you work, you know, your parents bought a house when they were 26 and they each worked a part-time job and paid for college.
01:27:39.000And the idea is now that no matter how hard you work, the system is rigged against you and hard work is actually seen as a negative because it's almost like you're a sucker.
01:27:49.000I think they want you to feel that way.
01:27:54.000Corporations want you dependent so you buy their products.
01:27:56.000Government wants you dependent so you give them their votes.
01:27:59.000The last thing they want is for someone to be like, I don't need anything from you.
01:28:02.000I think one of the things that greatly benefits me throughout life is that I don't really have anything to lose.
01:28:09.000Now, granted, if I have a family, that's where they get people.
01:28:11.000They go after your family, your kids, your wife, or otherwise.
01:28:13.000But for me, it's like, yo, I've experienced hardship to the point where it doesn't scare me.
01:28:19.000Without anything left to lose, you have the opportunity to explore and then eventually stumble upon better opportunities, take bigger risks, and go for these things.
01:28:28.000They want you to feel like if you lose your job, you're screwed, you're done, your life is over.
01:28:54.000We were born with the intuition that the here and now is going to be short and potentially cruel and unfair.
01:29:00.000Yeah, that would make somebody anxious and depressed.
01:29:02.000And then we get into dopamine hits and instant gratification and the fact that people don't live for farther out.
01:29:08.000They're living just from one hit to the other, whether it's social media, whether it's drugs.
01:29:12.000But they don't see it, they don't see it as a, you know, a lot of people don't see it as this sort of, if you created, put up on the screen somebody who was just addicted to crack, right, and they just couldn't help to have to do crack and just how that desperation will look on a TV screen, people who are using social media and this tech this way don't see themselves in that regard at all.
01:29:35.000I read this article in a skateboard magazine as a kid, I could be misremembering, but it was called What Now?
01:29:40.000And Brett will totally get this because you skate, well you blade, but this was a skateboarding magazine, but same thing in this regard.
01:29:47.000It said you're a skateboarder and you've decided to do some kind of trick down a set of stairs and you fight for it and you fail.
01:29:55.000And you try again, and you fail, and you fail, and you fail.
01:29:57.000And every time you fail, you're getting frustrated, you're getting tired.
01:30:48.000You don't get the same dopamine hit from doing the same thing as you did the first time you finally got it.
01:30:52.000We, uh, I mean, we would turn it into profiles where, like, we, uh, I would plan out sections, like 20, 30 tricks out at different spots that I knew all of them.
01:31:00.000So you have a list of stuff to go down to and then you get into editing.
01:32:15.000Imagine how insane you'll go chasing after a dragon when you're 1,000 times faster at reaching these milestones than you would have been in real life.
01:32:43.000Eventually, in a couple decades, there'll be a dude wearing a corn costume, juggling corn, as he rides a corn unicycle, and you're like, what is this?
01:32:51.000And in his personal metaverse, he has constantly chased after something that's evolved into some weird corn reality.
01:33:00.000And it seems ridiculous because you're like, how could someone go from a regular person to being, you know, this like corn juggling corn soup guy?
01:33:06.000Because in the metaverse, the distance between dopamine hits is microscopic compared to the real world.
01:33:13.000And you can reach infinite levels of pushing your brain into crazy places.
01:33:19.000It'll disconnect you from reality really fast.
01:33:22.000I think a lot of these technocrats that sit above our society right now really believe that if they push the human... First of all, they have a hyperinflated sense of their own cognitive ability, I believe.
01:33:34.000And they believe that if they push the human mind to that point, that there's some evolution on the other side that's going to be...
01:33:54.000And it's like you will end up losing it because like I've done, like you talk mental health, I've done, I had a whole series of videos where I would do a skating segments, one minute a day of different tricks.
01:34:04.000And I would do a voiceover segment where I would talk about what I was going through either to film those tricks or what I was going through that day.
01:34:11.000And one of the segments that would continually reoccur is days where I got stuck on my phone and I get doom scrolling through whether it's Twitter or TikTok or Facebook or Instagram.
01:34:32.000And then I would be like, I would feel 10,000 times better in a way that no drug could have ever done all just by going outside and feeling my physical, you know, being in the world.
01:34:41.000I just want to let everybody know that almost every day I go out and tear up some grass with my hand and then feed it to the chickens.
01:34:49.000So it's like people tweet at me, like, touch grass, Tim.
01:34:57.000Keeping yourself anchored in that physical world.
01:34:59.000I mean, I just like yelling at chickens.
01:35:01.000I think the trees... Not like mean yelling, but just like, you know, like getting their attention and waving at them or something.
01:35:06.000Andrew Huberman was saying every human should look outside for 15 minutes a day into the horizon.
01:35:12.000It's just something that fixes the... He's a neuroscientist and he says it's...
01:35:16.000The things that solved my anxiety, I'm just going to say as a prescription to people who are dealing with that radical anxiety and depression, the things that helped me resolve my anxiety were truth and gratitude.
01:35:29.000I think I think we're first there's an attack on truth, universal truth, the logos, like I said, but also gratitude solves a lot of these things, right?
01:35:39.000Well, like I my concept of getting to the round of 32 and playing the Anthony Davis in Kentucky and losing but playing a good game and They go on to win and I could think back and go, well, what do I need to, but there's a, there's a, there's a moment in there in that whole, you know, paradigm of thought where you could go, man, I'm grateful for the opportunity to even have done that.
01:36:02.000I played in front of 16,000 people, a million people on television.
01:36:05.000I played well, my team, I'm grateful first, gratitude first, and then the pursuit of, of other things is a good model.
01:36:23.000And just being sober, just knowing that I should surely be dead by now, that there's no reason for me to be here if 99% of people had done the things I had done, wouldn't have made it out
01:36:36.000alive. I got lucky and I was blessed to do that and have just infinite gratitude for the fact that I
01:37:03.000I'm saying for a lot of people, I hear these stories and they just talk about how their life's so miserable.
01:37:08.000And I'm just like, when you wake up, it's within you to be grateful and happy and to look for the good or look for the bad.
01:37:15.000And more particularly, it's up to you to choose what food you put in your stomach, because that's going to drastically alter your state of mind.
01:37:45.000We did ground beef, peppers, onions, cheese, and when I was walking out to throw grass to the chickens, we have wild chives growing because they just sprout up all over the place.
01:37:55.000Just grabbed a whole bunch of them, rinsed them off.
01:39:57.000I was like to me it's one of those things where I just movies today are so I'm so hyper focused on not on hating the agenda that gets driven into most of these films that when I just get like a general family film with nothing offensive label as far as like agenda being just shoved into it I'm like that was fantastic so like 10 years ago it'd been like a B minus or a C plus I'm like a minus yeah that was fantastic This is a really good super chat actually.
01:40:19.000Rilow says, if Katonji Brown-Jackson can't define woman, how can she define the 19th
01:40:54.000So it says, okay, it says the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.
01:41:04.000That means, so the amendment doesn't actually say man or woman, which would mean that based on today's logic, women always had the right to vote.
01:41:12.000Which means that the entire suffrage movement, Where the neoliberal women went to black women and said, hey, the black man got the right to vote before you did.
01:41:38.000And Planned Parenthood, racism played a huge role in the formation of Planned Parenthood.
01:41:43.000You know, man, it's funny that they say the truth is right-wing.
01:41:46.000Or, I'm sorry, they're effectively saying it.
01:41:48.000They'll call you a liar, they'll say you're right-wing, but if you tell the truth, they'll call you right-wing, they'll call you conservative, even if you're not.
01:42:02.000I mean, there's plenty of people who are traditionally liberal who have just been pushed over to the right wing by default by a far-left manic.
01:42:09.000Or the right wing has been pulled to encompass people who are liberal.
01:42:13.000I would have been considered a disaffected liberal who became more libertarian, at least more like, you know, minimize the state, you know, just by being pulled this way through the, just how far left the rest of the agenda is that I've just been moved that way, and then since then have grown and learned and changed my positions in certain areas, but definitely would have never been considered right-winger Republican or conservative, just not They're calling me the alt-right now.
01:43:06.000I find it interesting that the United States has placed economic sanctions on Russia during this invasion that we never placed on Hitler during World War II.
01:43:13.000We are forcing our own economic demise.
01:43:15.000I'd like to point out that Joe Biden said we were going to disseminate food shortages.
01:43:20.000And then he also said the food shortages are going to be the result of sanctions.
01:43:24.000And he's the one who pushed these sanctions.
01:43:26.000So it's kind of like maybe he was telling the truth about disseminating food shortages.
01:45:45.000Whatever they used on his face was a special paint for him.
01:45:49.000I want to say something real quick about George Floyd.
01:45:52.000This guy doesn't to say that the state has gone too far that we always have to be mindful of the authority and scope of governance as Citizens is not the same to enshrine him as a hero although I know that some people may think he's a hero And looking at the situation where he was involved in the home invasion and put the gun to a pregnant woman's stomach Which I don't know if that's a true story Was it?
01:48:01.000I understand saying, look, we have reason to believe you committed a crime, so we're gonna be holding you.
01:48:07.000But because we don't want you to commit another crime or hurt somebody, but there's no reason you can't talk to your family or get access to the internet, right?
01:48:14.000I'm not a fan of locking people up because what happens is a lot of cops use the process as the punishment.
01:48:20.000They say, I know that I can get you two days in jail if I arrest you right now for any reason I make up or say.
01:48:27.000So in New York, you have cops, they often do this.
01:48:31.000They'll arrest someone because it's easier just to deal with arresting a protester otherwise.
01:48:36.000Center the station, let them stew over the weekend, they'll get out, charge will be dropped, but it took care of the problem in the short term.
01:48:44.000The state should not be allowed to do this, but hey, look, New York is run by Democrats who appoint Democrat cops who do these things to themselves, and I don't live there anymore for that reason.
01:48:52.000And it's not just the Democrat, that's a bipartisan problem, I think.
01:48:57.000The prison system and the criminal justice system, but the prison system primarily, is the lowest rung of the military-industrial complex.
01:49:06.000Law enforcement and police are the second lowest rung and it goes up to geopolitical warfare and conflict after that.
01:49:13.000And when we were downstairs talking, the first thing I mentioned is like in the Minneapolis Police Department has always been known as being extremely corrupt.
01:49:19.000And we knew that from the beginning that that was always a problem.
01:49:22.000There's a cultural consensus for people who live in Minnesota about the police department.
01:50:23.000Yeah, I fought on LFA, on the Fight Pass.
01:50:26.000So I've transitioned to Pro Mixed Martial Arts and I plan to continue to keep fighting, but none of our personal pursuits right now in this time of crisis should have us abnegate our duty to society.
01:50:39.000And that is the crux, I believe, of the fruit of an idea like nationalism.
01:50:44.000It puts constraints on the individual's ambitions and it anchors us in charity in a Christian way and says the order of charity is local.
01:50:56.000So when you're talking about the order of charity being local, meaning that you want people to help out within their own community, and that's more important than people who start to rely on the state because they feel like they're not connected to a community.
01:51:06.000Yes, that too, but I mean that the order of charity in Greco-Judeo-Christian values is myself first, then my family, and then my immediate community.
01:51:18.000What the neoliberal globalist movement is trying to reorder the charity to say, send money for mosquito nets in Africa for malaria.
01:53:37.000My first panic attack, my first panic attack came from smoking marijuana.
01:53:41.000Um, and I just had, it was a massive panic attack and I just was watching myself walk around.
01:53:45.000I thought I was going to die and you know, Somehow I was able to call my grandfather.
01:53:50.000I didn't want to call my mom because where I'm from your mom's beating you for sure.
01:53:55.000Grandpa was a little bit more amenable so I called him but I don't even remember how I was able to manage that because I was so disordered and I was like watching myself walk around so yeah anxiety attacks often feel like that.
01:54:06.000So for lucid dreaming, just to clarify, there's techniques you can do.
01:54:11.000So there's something, I think it's called like walking into a dream or something like that.
01:54:14.000It's where you basically just use your imagination as you start to fall asleep and then basically trigger what the dream is or something like that.
01:54:21.000There's also other things you're supposed to do.
01:54:34.000There's a bunch of things that I've done just like a long time ago that became second nature.
01:54:39.000And now it's like I'll fall asleep and then all of a sudden I'll be like, oh, I'm dreaming.
01:54:43.000I was having a lucid dream and I knew I was awake, but I was asleep dreaming on a pirate ship and I started to breathe out too much and the dream started to shake like inception, like the entire reality started to rip apart.
01:54:54.000I was like, Oh, it's the, it's an oxygenation issue or like a carbon dioxide issue.
01:54:57.000There's something about the breathing.
01:55:01.000Yeah, we know master dream master in here.
01:55:28.000So the rightful criticism of our system and establishment isn't that they've set up a society where people have to struggle in order to find meaning.
01:55:35.000It's that they've been predatory and corrupt and dishonest in how they've set the playing field and presented it as one that's fair and honest when really it's overtly corrupt.
01:56:18.000Florida Man says, Tim said he doesn't fear losing everything, but you have created so many meaningful connections that even if you lost everything, you would have a social safety net.
01:56:28.000I can certainly understand and respect that, but I would just point out, the reason why I'm never really scared of losing everything is because I have witnessed people make $200 a day sleeping.
01:57:00.000So he would do whatever his thing was, then he would go to bed at like 9 in the morning on the corner of somewhere in downtown Chicago, and then he'd wake up after a few hours with a can just full of money.
01:57:13.000Well, I don't know if he's doing it seven days a week, but yeah, he said, so when I saw him, he had 184 something in a Folgers can just full of change and bills.
01:57:21.000And he brought it into, he walked into the bank and he poured it into their sorting machine and then he deposited it.
01:58:10.000The people in America on Twitter just want to emotionally destroy you for some reason.
01:58:14.000My aunt that I grew up with, who's like a second mother to me, every time she sees somebody who even looks remotely homeless, she looks for cash in her car and she gives it to them.
01:58:33.000I would rather give money to somebody on the corner, because if you were to give to charity, you have to do your due diligence, you have to look at how much of this is actually going to the cause in question, how much of it is going to administrative fees and stuff like that.
01:58:47.000I'm much more likely to just want to give it to the guy who's like, this guy's out on the court.
01:58:50.000We go to the Walmart over here all the time.
01:58:52.000And there's this one place where there's always people there.
01:58:55.000And I, if I have it, I will give it to them because like, at least I know that it's going to this person and whatever he chooses to spend that on, not my choice, but I make that choice for that trend, the transactional nature of that relationship.
01:59:06.000And I'm okay with that, at least as far as that form of charity.
01:59:09.000I'm wary of giving cash to random people holding signs, because I knew people growing up, it's called flying signs, and so they would be like, hey, did you want to go fly signs?
01:59:21.000And it's like literally people with apartments around.
01:59:43.000And then it's like, ah, it's relatable.
01:59:45.000Some people will do the normal signs like, you know, I'm homeless and I'm working really hard and I could use support.
01:59:49.000I saw one guy in Chicago with his head down and his sign said, I have nothing, please understand.
01:59:55.000And I almost started crying when I saw that sign, dude.
01:59:58.000Because he didn't ask me for anything.
01:59:59.000So I was like, I'm going to give this guy whatever I can.
02:00:02.000But, you know, I'll give to people, you know, but when I do give to somebody who's just flying a sign, I'll be like, the money I'm giving you is for you to do whatever you want with.
02:00:19.000But I much prefer to just do massive tips at restaurants.
02:00:23.000Because then you've got someone, they're working a job, probably not the greatest job in the world, you've got to deal with crappy customers.
02:00:31.000I always like, in whatever capacity I can, just do a massive tip because then it's like you're being rewarded for the work you're doing right now.
02:00:37.000That was a lesson I learned from my mom.
02:00:38.000If I didn't have a job, she wouldn't help me out financially at all.
02:00:42.000But if I got a job, she'd be like, okay, I'll help you out with your rent if you can't afford it, if you have a job.
02:00:48.000My dad told me that what he would do is, like, he would go out and he'd see people with Vietnam veteran signs, like, I'm a Vietnam vet, and he would quiz them on, like, what rifle did you carry?
02:00:56.000Because he wouldn't give it to them unless they for sure served in Vietnam.
02:01:00.000I thought that was very clever of him to at least keep them honest in that way.
02:01:04.000The hardest thing I think for us to decide going forward as a society is what to do with the least amongst us.
02:01:12.000And it's not an easy, it's not going to be an easy solution.
02:01:14.000And anybody who says that they have some fail-safe solution at how to approach that, they're just kind of being dishonest.
02:01:20.000You know, it's going to, it's a hard one.
02:01:23.000Because especially if, I know how close I was, and your people are hitting the chat and I appreciate their compliments, but They also got to realize that I'm a testament.
02:01:32.000I was this close I could easily been dead or overdosed or in the gutter from being addicted to benzos and I got them prescribed by a doctor So imagine how many people are coming by this circumstance and in ways that aren't malicious or you know You know what else I want to mention too?
02:03:01.000The only snag I had in there is that I was still tied to my material dreams and that I thought I could salvage something with the NBA and have that career.
02:03:10.000But I got to a point where I realized that we are antithetical.
02:03:15.000Our energy, I don't say energy in a fake woke way, I mean like the momentum of where we're headed is antithetical.
02:03:21.000But the real turning point for me was a 14-year-old, when I first started talking about anxiety in the public square, when this whole NBA thing broke out, a 14-year-old girl who I thought was, said she was a 14-year-old girl out of New Jersey, sent me a message on Twitter and said that she was a cutter, that she had cut herself, and that me talking about mental health in the public square gave her hope.
02:03:47.000And I took that to a conversation with David Stern, Um, and said, these are the people that you are obligated to.
02:03:53.000The, these are the people that you're obligated to spearhead this movement for and be honest.
02:04:00.000And from there we were mortal enemies.
02:04:02.000Me as a righteous and divine warrior for God and the Christian Christian faith that I serve and him as a, as a, uh, uh, you know, uh, a chameleonic globalist authoritarian elite and we're, and we're at odds.
