1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: I think the social media for the administration has been 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: rather good. They're on top of things, they're pushing things, 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: they're aggressively sharing, and that I think is very, very 4 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: helpful because in that you're able to kind of set 5 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: the conversation, You're able to you're able to determine the show. 6 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: I think it's good and I'm happy to see them 7 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: on top of it, and some of the things they've 8 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 1: been doing have been a little out of the box 9 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: and worthwhile. This was put out by the White House 10 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: yesterday President Trump's eleven life Lessons. So they put out 11 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: a video, President Donald J. Trump's eleven life Changing Lessons. 12 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: So let us let us give it a listen. Do 13 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: we agree or disagree? I don't know if this is 14 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: in a book or not, Like I don't know he's 15 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,199 Speaker 1: ever written this, but these are allegedly his eleven life 16 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: changing lessons. Let's find out if we think they're life changing. 17 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 2: Let me share some of the biggest lessons I've learned 18 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 2: from a lifetime spent building dreams. First, if you think 19 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: that you're too young to do something great, let me 20 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 2: tell you that you are wrong. 21 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: You're not too young. In America, with drive and ambition. 22 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: Young people can do anything. Second of it. Now, I 23 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: don't know where he's talking. These are all from speeches 24 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: or one speech he's giving at a university. And when 25 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: did he give this talk? Can someone find that out 26 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,199 Speaker 1: for me? I do not know when he gave this talk. 27 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: First things first, you're never too young, all right, fun well, 28 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: and very importantly, you have to love what you do. 29 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: I rarely see somebody that's successful that doesn't love what 30 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: he or she does. 31 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: Depends on what it's happen, right, is do you work 32 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: to liberty, live to work? You know? Right, there's that question. 33 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: But the person who loves the idea of building the 34 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: thing well, and that person is going to every day 35 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: wake up wanting to build the thing. Right, They're going 36 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: to wake up every day wanting to grow this and 37 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: wanting to expand on this and expound on this. I 38 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: could see that. I don't think you have to love 39 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: what you do to be successful. I think that certainly 40 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: it makes it easier. That's my take off on it. 41 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: The thing is to think big. You know you're going 42 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: to do something, you might as well think big, because 43 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 2: it's just as hard to solve a small problem as 44 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 2: a big problem, and it's just as much energy and 45 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 2: everything else, except the result is going to be a 46 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: smaller one. 47 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: So love what you do, but think big for now. 48 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: The think big thing he has said before. I've heard 49 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: that before, and I said, that's a really interesting take. 50 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: Why look at something in the micro when you can 51 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: take a look at it in the macro. The only 52 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: thing I would say to that is, some problems are micro. 53 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: They have to be thought of in a small way 54 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: because it's a small thing. But it could be a 55 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: profound thing. But so far, right, not not being nitpicky. 56 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: It's a nice list. It's like, hey, the president put 57 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: this out. Go over this list? Which ones do you 58 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: agree with? Which ones do you disagree with? 59 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: Right? 60 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: You don't even have to like Trump, Just anything here 61 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: you agree or disagree with. I would love to know. 62 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: That's what I would say to my kids they were 63 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: of a certain age. Do me favor listen to this? 64 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: What do you agree with them? What do you disagree with? 65 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: I'd love to know your thoughts on this. Get some engaged. 66 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: Next one, work hard hard? Fifth is now, how many 67 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: people have told you to work hard in your life? 68 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: You know it's it's It's a quote attributed to J. 69 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: Paul Getty. I find I get very lucky when I 70 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: work eighteen hours a day. Working hard matters working hard, 71 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: working smart. They can go hand in hand. The person 72 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: who works smart is also working hard, focused on the idea, 73 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: focused on the business, reach, engaging, not cutting corner. Not 74 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: cutting corners is the big one. I have been trying 75 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: to teach this to my children from a very very 76 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: young age. You don't do the job so somebody else 77 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: will say it's complete. You do the job until it 78 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: is complete. You don't cut corners. No one's watching, it 79 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You do not cut corners. You have you. 80 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 1: You need to have a pride in your work. Do 81 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: the job the way the job was meant to be done. 82 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: And don't ever, you know, slide slide away from that. 83 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: Work hard. 84 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 2: Fifth is, don't lose you your momentum. You just want 85 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 2: to keep it going. And you have to know if 86 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 2: you are losing it. You have to know when you're 87 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 2: losing it, so maybe you stop and maybe it's time 88 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 2: to stop. Number six. 89 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: That's an interesting one. That is an interesting one. I 90 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: could apply that in my own life in many ways 91 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: in thinking that as you know, building out a career. 92 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,679 Speaker 1: Let's say doing this right, or radio and everything else. 93 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: There's a moment of wait a second, I was going 94 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: in this trajectory and then that stopped. So how does 95 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: one build that back? Or is that telling me something? 96 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: I have found that it's often all right, Well that 97 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: road may be closed, but new roads do open and 98 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: they have It's okay, that road could reopen. So the 99 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: momentum thing is different. Then the path may have issues. 100 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: And I would love to hear the President talk about that. 101 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: Momentum is you're into a rhythm, you're into a group, 102 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: you're getting things done. How do you continue to get 103 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: more things done? 104 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 2: Right? 105 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: If you slow up, if you stop, if you pause, Oh, 106 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: it's going fine. I don't have to work that hard 107 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: at it anymore. Then the momentum slows down and it's 108 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: hard to keep the thing going because it was going 109 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: so well. Now it's only going half well. If you 110 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: kept working hard at it, it would be going twice 111 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: as well, and you'd be like, my gosh, it's going 112 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: twice as well. That's the momentum conversation. 113 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 2: Six. If you wanted to change the world, you have 114 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 2: to have the courage to be an outsider in other words, 115 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 2: you have to take certain risks and do things a 116 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 2: little bit differently. Otherwise, if that weren't the case, everybody 117 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 2: would be successful. 118 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: If I was going to kind of I don't know 119 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: if it's qualify that or find a way to apply that. 120 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: I don't know. 121 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: It's about change the world. But what is it you 122 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: want to try? If you want to try the thing, 123 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: go try the thing. Not having an expertise in the 124 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: thing is no reason not to try the thing. It 125 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: has to be tried. If you want it, you got 126 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: to go learn about it, go do it, and go fail. 127 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: I haven't talk about when I first started in radio, 128 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: really first started in having political thoughts and writings and 129 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: things like that. I would put my stuff out there 130 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: and just get the crap kicked out of me, just abused, 131 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: ripped apart. You can't you're saying this, But what about that? 132 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: You forgot about this? You don't know this part about history? 133 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: What do you mean you don't know who so and 134 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: so is the first time that happened to me. This 135 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: lovely couple older couples asked me, if I listened to 136 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: I forget whom I'm like, I don't know who that is? Like, 137 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: what do you mean, how could you be a conservative 138 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: if you don't know who that is? Because I don't 139 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: know everything yet and I didn't know who that was. 140 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: But you gotta be willing to go through that. You 141 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: gotta be willing to go through that to be able 142 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: to get to the place that you want to be. 143 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: Number seven is to trust your instincts, common sense. You 144 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 2: can go very far in life with common sense. Hey, 145 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 2: everybody should believe in the American Dream. It's real, it's nam, 146 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 2: and it's right before you. 147 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: Now, those two things I think go hand in hand. 148 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: Trust your instincts, American Dream. Trust your instrict instincts doesn't 149 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: mean that you won't be wrong from time to time. 150 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: Trust your instincts. This idea of go with your gut 151 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: is that you should, you've done all the work you 152 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: can do. Take the leap. America allows for the leap. 153 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: Take the leap. Very often people get stuck in this 154 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: level of paralysis in that they're still thinking something through. 155 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: They're still thinking through, well, what about this and what 156 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: about this? And what about this? And then they never 157 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 1: move forward. You gotta be willing to take the jump. 158 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: You gotta be willing to try it. It might not, 159 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: you can learn from it, come back again. The greatest 160 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: of America is very very real in that regard. The 161 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: whole try it again thing is really a very uniquely 162 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:20,359 Speaker 1: American concept that doesn't exist in other places. Other places 163 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: would either have a regulatory burden upon you or be 164 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: a societal burden of vis a vis shame. You'd be 165 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: so embarrassed and so ashamed you would never try it again. 166 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: America is like, all right, what do you got for 167 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: a sequel? What else can you provide? Try? All right? 168 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: You learned, now go do it. It is truly the 169 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: trying again is the most American ethos thing out there, 170 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: really is. 171 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 2: I think of yourself as a winner, the power of 172 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 2: positive In recent years, too many of our young people 173 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 2: have really been taught to think of themselves as victims. 174 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 2: But in America we reject that idea. 175 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: That anyone is born a victim. 176 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: Our heroes are the ones who take charge of their 177 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 2: own destiny despite the oddss. And next is to be 178 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 2: an original. The old time grapes were people who had 179 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 2: the confidence to be a little different. ID only created 180 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 2: one of you, so that don't try to be someone else. 181 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: God only created one of you, so don't try to 182 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: be with someone else. Honestly, if Oprah said it, people 183 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: be putting it on t shirts. Trump said it. He 184 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: doesn't know what he's talking about. Maybe maybe maybe he does. 185 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: Right there, I thought that was an interesting peace right 186 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: there from him. Think of yourself as a winner. Attitude 187 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: is everything. Attitude is everything. And then of course number eleven. 188 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 2: Finally, and most importantly, never ever give a peddler that 189 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 2: perseverance is everything. So whatever happened, no matter where you 190 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 2: are in life, stay optimistic and just keep pushing forward 191 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 2: to never let anyone tell you that something is impossible, ever, ever, ever, 192 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 2: In America, the impossible is what we all do best. 193 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: I must admit that if this had been Oprah, if 194 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: this had been the Biden administration, this we all what 195 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: an uplifting message? Oh that children of America should hear? 196 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: This shouldn't the children of America hear that. That wasn't 197 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: a political message. It was political because it was pro 198 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: America good. That wasn't a political message. It was a 199 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: good message. Those were Those were I mean, I went 200 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: over them, and something's like, well, you think but this way, 201 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 1: I think of it that way. But in the main 202 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 1: what's wrong with those eleven concepts as he referred to 203 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: them as eleven lessons? What's wrong with that? How many 204 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: news organizations aren't going to share that? How many? Oh 205 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: you think it's ever gonna get shared on a late 206 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: night show.
