Speaker 1: you guys, if you've been listening to the show, you

24
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: know that my number one rule of money is that

25
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 1: your health is your wealth. You can't be wealthy if

26
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: you're not healthy. That's why I like to talk about

27
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: my friends over at risingtidebeenefits dot com. You guys, these

28
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: guys are a specific platform that they've created in partnership

29
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: with us. More importantly, it is defined as a platform

30
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: that doesn't cost anything for you guys to reach out

31
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: to them. They're going to do one of three things.

32
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: They're going to tell you have great insurance, stay where

33
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: you're at, or they're going to give you better insurance

34
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: at a lower cost. Or they're going to give you

35
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: the same insurance with better benefits. If not, check them

39
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: million people are still not insured. There's a misconception that

40
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: you are not eligible for insurance after the first of

41
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: the year. That is bs. They will take care of you, guys.

Speaker 1: Reach out to them again, Rising Tide Benefits dot Com

43
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: Now today, without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, on Financial Fridays,

44
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: I was going to go down some more rabbit holes.

45
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: We had a lot of positive feedback last week we

46
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: were talking about some red pill things and as you

47
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: guys know, I'm not political. I'm just reality. I like

48
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: to talk about the things that are in comfortable and

49
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: things that we are not allowed to talk about anymore.

50
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: For some reason, somehow dialogue became obsolete. Today I was

51
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: going to go down some rabbit holes on the TikTok issue.

52
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: I was going to talk to you about the Elon

53
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: Musk issue. And then a good friend of the show.

54
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: You guys, this gentleman is you know, and I hate

55
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: to use the word brother because I know for him

56
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: that has a different meaning. This gentleman has served our

57
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 1: country proudly. There wasn't a better person that I could

58
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: ask for today to have on the show. Funny enough today,

59
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: and Happy New Year's to all my brothers and sisters

60
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: from Iran. Today is the day after the years, and

61
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: I love talking politics. I love talking about people that

62
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: have experienced that part of the world, and more importantly,

63
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: the bs and the political environment that surrounds conflict. And

64
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: obviously right now there's a lot of crap going on

65
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: in the world. And today my friend from Helmet Valley Growers, California,

66
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: he is here talking about and actually, you know it's funny.

67
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: He has an event this weekend in San Diego. It's

68
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: actually Friday. It's called the Battle Brothers Foundation. He came

69
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: to do a couple of promo drops with us, and

70
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I would love nothing more than

71
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: to get a chance to interview you. You've seen him

72
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: on the show before in c T one oh one

73
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: on the Flagship Show. He's a friend of the show.

74
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,239

Speaker 1: Well, thank you brother. You know it's gosh. It literally

80
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: gives me goosebumps. And if you guys don't believe me,

81
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm mean, I'll show you this piece of paper. He

82
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: came in. We were talking about Elon Musk, we were

83
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: talking about TikTok. We started talking about some subjects and

84
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: I literally had the exact words. We were talking about

85
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: the Patriot Act, we were talking about political agendas, and

86
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: literally every word that was coming out of his mouth.

87
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: I had already planned on talking about solo, So instead

88
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: of boring you with just my voice. I got Brian

89
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: here with me today and when I asked you, how

90
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: many tours have you done? He paused, and it wasn't

91
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: for dramatic emphasis. He was literally like, I think I

92
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: did about seven man, and that is just You've seen

93
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: some shit, brother, Yeah.

94
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've been around a lot of parts of the world,

95
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 5: and it really makes you thankful for the opportunities we

96
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 5: have here in this country, which honestly people take for granted.

97
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: I believe, well absolutely and I and you know, obviously

98
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: you and I are both at the same school of thought.

99
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: We're not into politics as much as just reality and

100
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: calling out the BS and calling out the inconsistency with

101
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: the messaging. And you know, there's so much that I

102
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: want to ask you and talk to you about. We

103
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: touched on a little bit of it, and I actually

104
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: cut you off because I wanted everybody to hear from

105
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: your own voice, you know, the things that you've seen,

106
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: the things that you've done, and now how it relates.

107
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: Obviously it's financial Fridays. You know, this isn't just a

108
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: political show or anything like that. But I have found

109
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: that somehow or another, everything does come back to money.

110
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, it's unreal.

111
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: So you know, just to talk to me a little

112
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: bit about your life. Obviously seven tours Special Forces, you know,

113
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: give me quick little synopsis of what you did before

114
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: you got into the industries that you're in right now.

115
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.

116
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 5: So really well, I grew up right outside of a

117
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 5: outside of Philadelphia town called Doyle Sound, massive high school

118
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 5: football program, so that's all you focus on your entire life.

119
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,679
Speaker 5: And I remember I was getting recruited by a naval

120
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 5: academy and I wanted nothing to do with the military.

121
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 5: I'm like, I'm gonna go play college ball and do

122
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 5: my thing. Then nine to eleven happened, and that's when

123
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 5: I figured I had to go earn my citizenship and

124
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 5: get involved in what was going on. So with that,

125
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 5: I joined the Marine Corps. I did a torn infantry

126
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 5: to a Fallujah, Iraq. Then I went to a unit

127
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 5: called Marine Recon went back to Iraq and operating the

128
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 5: entire al Ambar, like the western part of Iraq, and

129
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 5: then came back and tried out for a Special Operations.

130
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 5: I was fortunate enough to make it and did a

131
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 5: bunch of deployments into Africa, Southeast Asia, and in Afghanistan

132
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 5: as well.

133
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: Well, when did you actually leave? When did you leave

134
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: the service? I left in the end of twenty thirteen,

135
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, when I was about a year and a

136
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: half during COVID that I was going to Texas once

137
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: a month and we worked with a really great organization.

138
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: And the name escapes me. I all remember it here.

139
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: I'll look it up during the break because I do

140
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: want people support it. But basically what they would do

141
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: is they would line up with with people like yourself

142
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: once you got out, to put them into executive positions.

143
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: And one of the things that really touched me when

144
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: I was talking with these gentlemen and he was probably

145
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't do nearly as many tours as

146
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: you had, but he was Special Forces. He'd got out

147
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: probably i would say, younger thirties, and he's like, dude,

148
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's rough for us out there. He's like,

149
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: you know, I'm in charge of a seven billion dollar

150
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: piece of equipment every day for you know, twenty years,

151
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: and I get out and I can't even get a

152
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: seventy thousand dollars job. Yep, you know, And you know,

153
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: tell me what it was like coming out. What did

154
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: you did you already have your career path lined up

155
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: and give us a little background on what happened there.

156
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I transitioned out and I started working

157
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 5: for an ed tech firm. One of my like kind

158
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 5: of inspirations for that was everywhere I went in the world,

159
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 5: it just seemed like people who weren't educated were getting

160
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 5: taken advantage of. And I got really alarmed when you see,

161
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 5: you know, what China's doing compared to what American students

162
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 5: are doing, and it's like, hey, we're kind of falling behind.

163
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 5: And to have all these cool mil terry and all

164
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 5: that stuff, you need to have smart people who create

165
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 5: jobs and who helped build up your economy so you're

166
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 5: able to do that. And just really thought, hey, that

167
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 5: might be a good spot for me. But during that time,

168
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 5: I really started knowing what's going on with veterans, just

169
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 5: not allow of support for them. It seems like a

170
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 5: lot of nonprofits and I get it, we're pretty much

171
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 5: in a two front war at this point, they're focused

172
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 5: on active duty. I decide, hey, let's start Battle Brothers

173
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 5: Foundation so we can help out the boys and girls

174
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 5: leaving the military, help them get set up for success.

175
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 5: So kind of just like what you were saying. I mean,

176
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 5: we will do things when you transition. You know, we

177
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 5: can help you out via disability claims. We can help

178
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 5: you out if you're having problems with alcohol, opiates, postmac stress,

179
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 5: all the above, And we're doing some cannabis research that

180
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 5: we've nailed on this show a bunch. But then the

181
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 5: other parts of the economic base of helping that veteran

182
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 5: find a job, but not just any job, a job

183
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 5: that give gives them that same sense of purpose like

184
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 5: it did while they served in the military, with the

185
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 5: hopes that they won't make a mistake they can't come

186
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 5: back from.

187
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: And so Battle Brothers. Now, this is an event that's

188
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: going on this Friday, Saturday, excuse me, this Saturday, March

189
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: twenty third, which is perfect because this show will air

190
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: in time for people to grunt tickets. Yeah, now, give

191
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: us a little background on the organization, how it was

192
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: it started, how long it is, and what the prostceeds

193
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: go towards.

194
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, fantastic. So this event's gounda happen March twenty third.

195
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 5: It's from seven thirty to eleven at the University Club

196
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,679
Speaker 5: in downtown San Diego. So at top of the Symphony

197
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 5: Towers is a great venue, could be really nice, free valet,

198
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 5: free food, free booze, some amazing auction items like a

199
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 5: trip to Thailand, trip to Bahamas, and a lot of

200
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 5: other little things. And we're using this to help raise

201
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 5: money for our medical cannabis research. It's just been really

202
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 5: difficult to try to get that funding, so we're hoping

203
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 5: this can kind of help give it to the top

204
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 5: so we can start doing some good. And it's just

205
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 5: not an event to celebrate veterans. It's also an event

206
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 5: to celebrate the American patriots. You know, guys who and

207
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,599
Speaker 5: girls who haven't served, asked me, sometimes I don't know

208
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 5: what to do. I wasn't in the military. Hey look

209
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 5: at this way. You had men and women raise the

210
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 5: right hand and go down range and fight for your freedom.

211
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 5: Now they're back here, they're struggling, they're having some hard times.

212
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 5: That's when the American patriot needs to set up, step up,

213
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 5: help support them, whatever it may take, so they can

214
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 5: go live the American dream they fought so hard to defend.

215
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 5: So we really just want to champion some great patriots

216
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 5: that have stood up and said hey, they did a

217
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 5: lot for us.

218
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: Let's reciprocate that.

219
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: You know, a good friend of mine, actually, my doctor,

220
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: doctor Chalmers, reached out to me recently asking for your info,

221
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: and I put him in touch with you. And you know,

222
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: he's a big advocate of that. He's really pioneered a

223
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: lot of cutting edge techniques to deal with PTSP for

224
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: veterans between ketamine, these listering strips that he has that

225
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: just dissolve and it's a medical great cannabis at a

226
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: high concentrated level, nice that basically replaces opioids. Yeah, and

227
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: you know the thing about this man is like he

228
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: did a Ted Talk on it. It was invited to do

229
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: the Ted Talk and this is going to transition us

230
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: down the rabbit hole. But he gets invited to the

231
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: Ted Talk, which everybody knows what that is, the average

232
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: Ted talk, it's millions of views. And the Ted Talk

233
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: was talking about, hey, listen, my kid, ten year old

234
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: kid broke his arm. I give him half of this strip.

235
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: He didn't need norcos, he didn't need oxy, he didn't

236
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: need opioids. And the kid didn't hurt, he didn't have withdraws.

237
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: Maybe a little cotton mouth, maybe yellow, and that was it, right,

238
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: And so he talks about this, but he did it

239
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: in a very clean he's a very brilliant man. He

240
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: did in a very clinical setting. Studies proof, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

241
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: Films the show. Now, I've consulted with several TED talk speakers.

242
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: The average TED talk will come out about a week

243
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: or two after they record it. Mainly, you know, there's

244
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: it's usually something cutting edge that the person's talking about.

245
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: In this case, months go by. Bro, they wouldn't drop it.

246
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: They wouldn't drop it, they wouldn't drop it. Finally, about

247
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: a week before he flew down here, they sent him

248
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: an email and in the email, somewhere in the context

249
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: was like, what's your political affiliation?

250
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 4: Man?

251
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: And I was like, dude, just lie through your teeth,

252
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: and you know what he had to say for them

253
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: to instantly drop the talk. It ended up being when

254
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: he came here the first time to do the show,

255
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: they dropped it that day. So we go to lunch

256
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: to celebrate, et cetera. I looked down expecting he had

257
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: zero views on the thing due they literally his Twitter

258
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,719
Speaker 1: was getting five to seven thousand hits or whatever, and

259
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: had it had like twenty when they were suppressing it

260
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: across This is old Twitter, by the way.

261
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they suppressed it across all platforms.

262
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: Now imagine, So what was this? This was big pharmat actually,

263
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, big Pharma being tied into these social media companies,

264
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: Which brings us to the big topic that we wanted

265
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: to talk about. Now, what we're going to do today, Man,

294
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: right before we took the break, we were talking about

295
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: going down this rabbit hole with this TikTok stuff. Now,

296
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: one thing that if you know, we talk a lot

297
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: about money on the show, and I promise you we're

298
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,599
Speaker 1: going to tie it back into financial Fridays. But you

299
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: know what one thing you'll understand about me is as

300
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: i've gotten older. Now you know, I'm a little bit

301
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: under I'm right in my mid forties, and everything that

302
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: I've been told now I question. I question everything you

303
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: tell me right now, Brother, that that ceiling is black,

304
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, is it really black? Or is it maybe great?

305
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 4: You know?

306
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: And it's like I've learned that when I'm being spoon

307
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: fed something doesn't matter what your political affiliation is, doesn't

308
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 1: matter what channel you're watching. There's an agenda behind what

309
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: we're being spoon fed. Yes, And I think during the

310
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: past three to four years with the inconsistencies with the

311
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: messaging from this state doing this, that state doing this,

312
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: politics this that we were just talking about it with

313
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: Blue in the meeting today, and it's like, Dude, when

314
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: we grew up, it was a little bit clicky.

315
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 4: You know.

316
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: The Mexicans were there, the whites were here, the blacks

317
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: were there. I grew up in Texas and it was

318
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: pretty racially divided. Right somewhere along the way we kind

319
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: of melted. It became the melting pot that America supposed

320
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: to be. Now somewhere along the way we lost that

321
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: shit again, you know. And I feel like since since

322
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: I've been have memory, this country has never been more divided. Yeah,

323
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: And I was talking to my friends that have kids

324
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: right now, I'm like, Dude, do I feed my kid

325
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: GMO food?

326
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 4: Do I not?

327
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: Do I put pampers on it? Do I put cloth diapers?

328
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: Do I vaccinate it? Do I not? Do I let

329
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: it have a nye? Dude, I need a bottle of

330
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: Xanax just to get through the fucking day if I

331
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: had a kid right now, you know, And I kudos

332
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: to those people who still have kids, Like what do

333
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: you do? Every everything, every little thing is so polarized.

334
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: And Brian, we were talking about this. We look at

335
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: this TikTok thing, man, and I would just want to

336
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: go over some facts with you guys and really break

337
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: this down. Now, TikTok has a two hundred and nineteen

338
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: billion dollar valuation. If you don't know what a billion is,

339
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: just look it up. Two hundred and nineteen of those right,

340
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: two hundred nineteen billion dollars billion dollar valuation. A third

341
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: of the global population logs into TikTok daily. Half of

342
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: all Americans have logged into TikTok in the past, guys.

343
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean that's a massive number. Eighty percent of the

344
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: revenue that TikTok creates is made in China. However, right now,

345
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: right now, all over the news, Brian, what we're seeing

346
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: is we've got to cancel TikTok. We got to cancel TikTok.

347
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: It's passed in the House, it's a little bit slow

348
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: in the Senate. And the irony is I remember Trump

349
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: talking about it and they were like, no, no, no,

350
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: we can't ban it. And now this one's talking about

351
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: it and the other guy's like no, Bannon. So you

352
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: really see that it becomes a political hot potato. Right now,

353
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: we talk about what they did, you know, during your tours,

354
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: and the reason for the Patriot Act and all the

355
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: crap that we're now dealing with where I can't send

356
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: three hundred dollars on cash app because of regulations and

357
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: legislations that were laid on us. Now they got this

358
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: thing right now, brother, that it's called the it's called

359
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: the restrict Act. This is what the act is that

360
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: they put through Congress. And I want to read this

361
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: to you and whether you're an American, whether you're a

362
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: citizen or non citizen. They're pitching this as we're saving

363
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: you from these evil Chinese people that are going through

364
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: your data. Well, first of every other fucking week, I

365
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: get an email from Target from Equa Fax for the saying,

366
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: your shit's already been So my shit's already out there.

367
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: What is it that this Chinese dude company is going

368
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: to find out about me that it doesn't already know

369
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: from the ten thousand other breaches that we've had first

370
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: of all, Right, now, so they come up with this

371
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: that we got to ban TikTok. Now, sixty percent of

372
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: the ownership of TikTok isn't even Chinese, it's American companies.

373
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: It's the sovereign wealth funds of the Arab countries. They're

374
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: not even owned by them, right, Twenty percent of the

375
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: company is owned by the two founders. One guy's actually

376
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: now resigned, and then the other twenty percent is actually

377
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: like employee share stock option shit. So the majority of

378
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: the company isn't even owned by Chinese. Now, the Chinese

379
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: did change some shit about that. They the servers of

380
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: this platform are always going to be in China, right,

381
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: So Kevin O'Leary from the shark Tank was talking about

382
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: how he's putting together a group to buy this. However, yeah,

383
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna buy the algorithm, you're gonna buy the app,

384
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: You're gonna buy this. But those servers with the data,

385
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: it's it's in China, so they already got it. There's

386
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: nothing you're going to do to change this, right, So

387
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: now they come out with this strict act and let

388
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: me read you exactly how this act is and why

389
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: I wanted to go down as rabbit hole though. So

390
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: this act contains a lot of charge language concerning transactions

391
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: with foreign adversaries. According to the creators, the bill is

392
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 1: systematic framework for addressing technology based threats to the security

393
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: and safety of Americans. What it actually does is it

394
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: provides the Secretary of Commerce. Nobody knows who that is,

395
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: by the way, you know, nobody knows who the fuck

396
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: that guy is. So the Secretary of Commerce with Wijer's

397
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: jurisdiction to decide which platforms and devices Americans have access to.

398
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: Does that sound like a free country to you, No,

399
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: it does not. The bill mentions that these meant that

400
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: these measures as a way to prevent foreign interests from

401
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: interfering with elections and undermining US national affairs. Except the

402
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: language used in this bill is much too broad. It

403
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: gives the Secretary of Commerce sole leeway to misuse their power.

404
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: They can shut down any politically charged content they don't

405
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: agree with, and, given how easily reality is often skewed

406
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: as we've seen, they can literally construer almost any narrative

407
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: to shut down any platform. If this bill passes, it

408
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,479
Speaker 1: gives the Secretary of the power to restrict or ban

409
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: technology with more than one million users, which most apps have.

410
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: Right if any part this is key, if any part

411
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: came from the six adversary nations listed in the bill,

412
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela, who

413
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: coincidentally most of them are ricks. You know what I'm saying.

414
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: It's crazy right now. This includes technology across any of

415
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: these categories brian web applications, mobile applications, AI, machine learning,

416
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: quantum computing, post quantum cryptography, autonomous systems, advanced robotics, synthetic biology,

417
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: computational biology. Under this bill, the government this is where

418
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: it gets pretty scary. Man. Under this bill, the government

419
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: can ban any of these technologies. It thinks we'll interfere

420
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: with the US democratic process. Plus, the bill can be

421
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: amended at any time to add more countries to that list.

422
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, Does that sound like we live in

423
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: a free country. No, I hate asking you that because

424
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: I know how hard you've suffered and sacrificed, and man,

425
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: it was just meant to be that you were here today.

426
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna shut up in what you talk. Yeah.

427
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 5: No, I think it's like, it's extremely interesting, and I

428
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 5: think you got to kind of unpack this bill and

429
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 5: ask certain questions. Now, I think we all can agree

430
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 5: TikTok is getting abused right like, and that's if kids

431
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 5: are just sitting there all day on their iPad or

432
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 5: whatever it may be, that's not a good thing. What

433
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 5: my question would be is who decides who the adversarial

434
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 5: country is? Is it just the president of the United States? Like,

435
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 5: how does this work? Because listen, guys and girls, I mean,

436
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 5: there's gonna be Republicans, there's gonna be Democrats, and it

437
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 5: could go back and forth. Tho's in the office understand

438
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 5: that these people will have that same power. So if

439
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 5: someone who might be super pro banning this because maybe

440
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 5: they're a fan of Biden, Well, what are you gonna

441
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 5: say if Trump starts doing this stuff? And you know,

442
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 5: to be fair, I do know people in Congress is

443
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 5: kind of barely bipartisan what I saw, and they're saying,

444
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 5: we saw something that if you guys saw it, you

445
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 5: would want this thing gone too. Okay, but you guys

446
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 5: got to sell that a little bit better, Like I

447
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 5: just can't buy off on that. And again, it's a

448
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 5: lot like the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act sounded great,

449
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 5: we were attacked, Oh my goodness, we need to do this,

450
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 5: and that we signed on to it, and boy are

451
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 5: we regretting that one. And you got to ask the question,

452
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 5: you know, I don't know where I fall on this

453
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 5: TikTok bill, but that's something I definitely think about, is

454
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 5: how are they using this to build a foothold to

455
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 5: get in somewhere and do something else that really starts

456
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 5: limiting my freedoms. I don't know, and I'm not liking that.

457
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 5: And at the end of the day, it comes down

458
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 5: to parenting and common sense. All Right, if your kids

459
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 5: are stuck on TikTok all day, it shouldn't take the

460
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 5: government to band it.

461
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 2: Just take the iPad away. From your kid. Start sending

462
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 2: parameters and raise your kid, because I'm tired of nanny

463
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 2: state stuff where people come in and say how you

464
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 2: got to do this and do that because you're not smart.

465
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 2: We are. We're here to protect you. Fuck you.

466
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: You know you said something that that just triggered a

467
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: memory from me. And you probably know exactly what I'm

468
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: talking about. But you said you have friends on both

469
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: sides of the aisle that that they said we've saw

470
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: something and they're scarce the shit out of us. Yeah,

471
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: and I just remember I think it was Colin Powell

472
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: sitting there saying, yeah, you know we've seen the WMD

473
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: is we can't tell you about it, you know, And man,

474
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: oh boy, Like okay, cool, I've heard that story before.

475
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 2: Now that was the real You nailed it. And that's

476
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 2: the thing.

477
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 5: It's like, it is your job as our representatives. You

478
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 5: need to sell this to us. We're your boss. I mean,

479
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 5: you go in and tell your boss I want to

480
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 5: do something. Just don't say you better trust me or else. No,

481
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 5: you got to sell it to us. So I'm not

482
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 5: quite sure what is happening. And I get it classified information.

483
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 5: You might not want that out. You might not want

484
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:50,959
Speaker 5: to know what we're tracking because I might give way

485
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 5: information on how we do things, but right now you're

486
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 5: not selling it that well.

487
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, And then when we talk about you know,

488
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: you know China we all are right now is not

489
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: our friend. They're doing a lot of dirty shit this

490
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: and that. However, you know, if the narrative that we're

491
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: being fed is that it's just these dirty Chinese and

492
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,239
Speaker 1: they're trying to get into our information, that are up.

493
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: If that's your priority right now, you guys, I ain't

494
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: making this stuff up. Google, what is the number one

495
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: demographic that's coming into these country legally right now? It's

496
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: the Chinese. You know, if you look up the statistic.

497
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: I don't have the exact number. I'm sure Connor will

498
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: pull it up, but twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two,

499
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: it is like one thousand, two thousand, maybe four hundred.

500
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty two it becomes like three to four thousand.

501
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: Twenty three it was like thirty thousand, and that's twenty

502
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: twenty three. Twenty twenty four is probably like fifty thousand,

503
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: and dude, I've seen the videos of these guys. They're

504
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: like healthy looking Chinese. Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying.

505
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: And these guys, if you're worried about my little app

506
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: over here being infiltrated and you're not worried about that,

507
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: then you're not really worried about you know, you and

508
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: I were talking about some stuff we can't talk about online.

509
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: But there are some operatives that are always working, and

510
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: you're telling me that those guys can't come in and

511
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: get a job somewhere that is way more powerful getting

512
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: into servers and shit than this. It's like, I just

513
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: you know that it's that it's just some stance about this,

514
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: and the fact that both aisles actually agree with that

515
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: business means like freaks me out.

516
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 2: Bar Well, that's the thing.

517
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 5: It's like they're so inconsistent, like that bothers you, but

518
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 5: this one doesn't. And we're all kind of looking at

519
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 5: that other thing like what the hell? Yeah, and that again,

520
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 5: like you know, to really understand these bills, you know

521
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,239
Speaker 5: there's poison pills thrown in there somewhere that it might

522
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 5: have nothing to do with TikTok, but just finds its

523
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 5: way into that bill. And that's again I tell people,

524
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 5: really go back and look at the Patriot Act and looked.

525
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 2: At what we signed on for.

526
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 5: And you can say COVID is responsible because of the

527
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 5: Patriot Act, because I don't know if you know.

528
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: And Robert F.

529
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 5: Kendy Junior gave a great breakdown of this, but he

530
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 5: was talking about basically, it was in like late sixties,

531
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,959
Speaker 5: Congress and Nixon all decided that these biological labs were

532
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 5: just no good. Those too many bad things were happening,

533
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 5: so they banned it, so you can't do it anymore.

534
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 5: Next thing you know, it's around. They limited the number

535
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 5: to a certain amount, and in twenty fourteen or something

536
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 5: like that, there was an outbreak of smallpox or whatever

537
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 5: and came from these labs. Well that's when President Obama said, okay,

538
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 5: we got to shut some of these down.

539
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember, but with the.

540
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 5: The signing of the Patriot Act, doing this biological weapons

541
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 5: testing or whatever, it maybe was still illegal, but if

542
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 5: you're working for a government entity, it was no longer illegal,

543
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 5: like you could do this.

544
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 2: So what do we do.

545
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 5: We start moving these things off shore like Ukraine, like

546
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 5: Wuhan literally, and we start doing this testing, and you

547
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 5: see what happens and things go out. So I think

548
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 5: everyone's probably thinking Patriot Act Okay, we're going to stop

549
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 5: people from spying on us.

550
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 2: All good.

551
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 5: You had no idea what this was going to spiral

552
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 5: into it, And that's what makes me nervous about some

553
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 5: of these bills. I mean, as Americans, we should not

554
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 5: trust our government. We should question our government. That's our

555
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 5: job as Americans.

556
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 2: We are the government. So I definitely think people, if

557
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 2: you're having an issue with this, educate yourself and do

558
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: what you gotta do and call your local politician to

559
00:24:59,040 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 2: start voicing your opinion.

560
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: You know, I just get so frustrated. I eat it

561
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,239
Speaker 1: talking about it because I look at the sacrifice as

562
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: somebody like you has done, and thousands and thousands of others, right,

563
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: and I cannot imagine how disheartening it is to come

564
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: back and to now see like, what the hell are

565
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: we doing all over the world. But I feel like

566
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: this is all tied.

567
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 5: In yeah, I mean, you know, in terms of, yeah,

568
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 5: we are in a really rough spot in our country.

569
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 5: But I always encourage people go back and read our history.

570
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 5: We've been in these spots before. Hell, we went to

571
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 5: war with each other over one thing, right, so we

572
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 5: can get out of this. But what I'm seeing now

573
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 5: is that kind of shift where we were all lemmings.

574
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 5: I think COVID kind of messed things up in terms

575
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 5: that we were all left at home. We were kind

576
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 5: of out of our routines and people started thinking more.

577
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 5: And that's where you're talking about red pill effect. And

578
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 5: that's where I think we are now that people are seeing, wait,

579
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 5: the government's doing this or we're trying to do that.

580
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 5: This is ridiculous where Americans let us take charge of

581
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 5: our lives and live the best way we can because

582
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 5: we'll figure things out. Yeah, so that's what's a little

583
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 5: bit disheartening to me. But I so believe in the

584
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 5: American dream, the project that we have going on here.

585
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 5: We're going to figure out a way. But we need

586
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 5: to have these conversations, like you were saying, like people

587
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 5: don't want to talk politics. You gotta talk politics and

588
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 5: be civil about it because you're going to probably learn

589
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 5: something you didn't know because we all go into our corners,

590
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 5: all think this way, and you're just going to start

591
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 5: isolating yourself.

592
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: You know, politics and money. I have found that money

593
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: used to be the awkward conversation. The families didn't want

594
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: to have. Money used to be the conversation that it

595
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: was kind of rude to bring up. Yeah, And a

596
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: good friend of mine who has a very successful podcast,

597
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: Dan Fleischman, he always talks about like those conversations need

598
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: to be had because right now they're not being had

599
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: in school, they're not being had in college. You get out,

600
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: you don't even know what a foreclosure is. You don't

601
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: know how to get a school home loan, you don't

602
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: know how to leverage your realist Like there's all the

603
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: shit that they could be teaching you, and you're, you know,

604
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: you're learning about the eighteenth moon of Saturn. Maybe he

605
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 1: has got you know, three rings around it and shit

606
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: like that. But somehow money always influences. When people tell me,

607
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: why don't you vote anymore? I have personal reasons for that,

608
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: but I've always told people, right now, the only thing

609
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: that matters right now is money. The only thing that

610
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: you can buy influence with is money. Your vote no

611
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: longer matters, not because of the rigging and all this shit.

612
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: It's just so programmed already now. And I see it

613
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: and it's something that's personal to me, and it's like,

614
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: you know what, dude, when I see those stickers they

615
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,239
Speaker 1: say I voted, I voted. They're all these commercials. They

616
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: don't give a shit. They just want the ping pong

617
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: ball to go between two shitty options. They don't want

618
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: the conversation to be about why are we stuck in

619
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: this shitty position? Why are these two.

620
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 2: Assholes or only two options out of one hundreds of

621
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 2: millions of people? You know what I mean?

622
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: And that's why I don't, because I don't want to

623
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: buy into a system that I've been I've been spood

624
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: fed since Oh it's my American right to vote? Cool,

625
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: where do you get me? Where are we now? Know

626
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: these are the assholes? I'm left flot So No, I'd

627
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: rather advocate for asking questions, hard questions. And why isn't

628
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: everybody writing in the streets? You write it for a

629
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: lot of other causes. Why aren't you rioting that these

630
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: are your only two options? Like it's a disgrace. You

631
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: know when you travel, I know you travel, but when

632
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,719
Speaker 1: I hear these stories, we go to other countries. Now

633
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: they're looking at us like we're the third world countries?

634
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 2: Like what the fuck is wrong?

635
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 5: That absolute joke, absolute joke. It's really just disheartening how

636
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 5: bad it's become like our perception.

637
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, speaking about money. My my biggest super fans,

638
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: Joe Grande loves when I talk about my Financial Friday five.

639
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: And as much as I wanted to keep going down

640
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: on these talks with you, which we're going to keep

641
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: going into the third segment, but it is relative because

642
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: I think you have a lot to offer, and I

643
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: appreciate you, Connor and Daniel talking me into this because

644
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: you're right. I think I take it for granted. People

645
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: want to hear from all walks of life. You know,

646
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: even though He's got phenomenal stories that I'd rather personally

647
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: want to hear more about. The money aspect of it

648
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: is important. So you get out. You know, you've made

649
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: a comfortable living for yourself. You're giving back you have.

650
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 4: You know.

651
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the grow in a second, but I

652
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: want to ask you the Financial Friday five that we

653
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: do with all the guests here on Financial Fridays when

654
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: I do remember to do it. Number one on Financial

655
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: Friday's five is what was the best investment you've ever made?

656
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 5: Run I can talk about the one I missed. I'm

657
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 5: in the very beginning of test. Next question, I was,

658
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 5: I think the best investment I made. God, I mean,

659
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 5: there's not a lot, so I don't know the deep

660
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 5: portfolio here, but god, you know, I think real estate

661
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,479
Speaker 5: really has been the best thing I did. I mean,

662
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 5: there's only so much land that we have, and I'm

663
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 5: trying to think of some great move I made on

664
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 5: stock market, but that ain't me.

665
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, my Grandpa God blessed soul before he passed away,

666
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: He's to always say, it's real estate. It's real. The

667
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: word real, isn't it there? You go touch it? And

668
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how much of my story, you know,

669
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: but yeah, man, I mean, you know when I saw

670
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: the ship I did in Wall Street for twenty years

671
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: and walking away, like you really realize that's this whole.

672
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,719
Speaker 1: We can go down multiple hours of rabbit holes there,

673
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: but all the shit you see on TV is true.

674
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: So real estate has been the salvation and something that

675
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: if I could go back, I would have focused more

676
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: on as opposed to these all these other bullshit investments

677
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: where I'm trusting out people with my money, yep, And

678
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: the dude can make ten thousand bad decisions at least,

679
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: with real estate's my decision, it's my tenant. So I

680
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: at three point, I think I think it's a very

681
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: h That's one of my favorites. Is well. Question number

682
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: two on the Financial Friday five is what is your

683
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: worst investment? Now this could be into a business or

684
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: a person.

685
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: Well, the worst investment was what I didn't do.

686
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 5: And I had a lot of money and this company, Tesla,

687
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 5: was kind of getting going and I'm like, oh, man,

688
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 5: I should do this. And I was talking to my

689
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 5: advisor and he's on the East Coast and he was like, ah, man,

690
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 5: electrical cars.

691
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: No one's ready for that. It's not gonna do anything.

692
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 2: And I would just let it go.

693
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: And that was probably about fifteen years ago, and this

694
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: would have been like IPO stuff, or.

695
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: It would have been the like wild or even pre

696
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 2: IPO probably round. Yeah, sounds like because it was that

697
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 2: long ago. Yeah, yeah, it was right there. I don't

698
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: want to have heard about Tesla and I'm like, shit,

699
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 2: I just didn't do it. So you're all right, you know? Well,

700
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 2: now my question is is that guy here still is

701
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 2: still your life? We're all good, we moved on. Have

702
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: you bothered to look back, like, gosh, that would have

703
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 2: been worth It's too paid for. I can't do it.

704
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 2: It's like the bitcoin that I lost. I'm like, yeah, Johnson.

705
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 5: When he got offered the Jordan deal for that. Every

706
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 5: time I go into a Nike store, I want to

707
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 5: throw up on myself.

708
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, who was it? I think it was Kobe

709
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: that was talking about he didn't invest in Starbucks because

710
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: he's like black people don't jink coffee like one hundred

711
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: million dollars.

712
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 5: Or like Snoop Dogg with beats by Dre's. Next time

713
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 5: Dre asked me to invest I'm just doing it.

714
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: Question number three, brothers, what is the best present you've

715
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: ever bought yourself?

716
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 2: Best president? I bought myself. It was my house. Yeah,

717
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 2: I was.

718
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 5: I was really young, and I had a great opportoons

719
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 5: of military and we get VA loans and all that stuff,

720
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 5: and I took advantage of it to the point my

721
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 5: parents are like, I don't can you actually do this?

722
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 5: And next thing, you know, I had a nice house

723
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 5: in North Carolina and I was like, man, that's pretty cool.

724
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: Now the VA can you sell that and keep going?

725
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: Or how many can you buy investment properties on?

726
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 2: Can we partner up?

727
00:31:59,120 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 6: Yeah?

728
00:31:59,720 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: Cheap?

729
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 2: I think you get one.

730
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 5: I think you might be able to use half a

731
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 5: like partial one for something else. But once you have it,

732
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 5: it's locked in, and then if you sell that house,

733
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 5: you can use it again. So it's great for us.

734
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 5: When we go in and we want to buy a house,

735
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 5: we're backed by the federal government, so everyone's like, come

736
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 5: on in, let's show them some houses and stuff like that.

737
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: Now, with the development of the interest rates the way

738
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: they are, does it make sense for you to sell

739
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: high now and then try to lock up or kind

740
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: of step up and keep getting that cheap loan.

741
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, I you know, my little low advice.

742
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 5: I tell people, if you like a house and the

743
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 5: interest rates are what they are, just buy it because

744
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 5: chances are it's going to influx and you can redo

745
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 5: it again.

746
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 2: So that's what I think.

747
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 5: I bought it like six percent, and then I refinanced

748
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 5: that like two percent. Yeah that's great, right.

749
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

750
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: It always freaks out now. It always makes me laugh

751
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: when I see people sew making decisions based on interest rates. Yeah,

752
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: it's like, dude, you got way bigger variables and that

753
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: they have interest rate. It can be ten percent, doesn't

754
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: matter exactly because the rent is going to be you know,

755
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: parallel to that. Yep. Question number four in the antil Friday.

756
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: Five is what is the best president you bought somebody else?

757
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: Best present I bought someone else? God, I can say

758
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: my wife giving her two kids. Right, You're welcome. The

759
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: last question, man, is if you could buy one thing

760
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: money is not an object, what would.

761
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 4: That be.

762
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 2: My goal?

763
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 5: I really want to have just a big, awesome house.

764
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 5: That is a goal just for like my kids and

765
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 5: all that stuff. Because I look at like it's not

766
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 5: so much for me. I'm more in the mode now

767
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 5: show my kids what I'm doing so they can't use

768
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 5: the word quit and listen, we're in cannabis.

769
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 2: You get your ass kicked. It is what is I

770
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 2: have my why?

771
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 5: I'm very passionate and I can weather the storm. But

772
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 5: every time I think about, man, do I want to

773
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 5: do this? I want to take another job where I

774
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 5: can just make money. And I'm just making money at

775
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 5: that point, not really making a difference.

776
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 2: That's not me.

777
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 5: And again I look at my kids, like, one day

778
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 5: if there's going to say, you know here, my dad

779
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 5: gave me the best advice my dad. My parents are

780
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 5: very successful and my dad's like I have money, you don't.

781
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 5: And I'm like okay, and He's like, but if you

782
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 5: listen to what I'm telling you, you're going to learn

783
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 5: how to do it. He's like, you're never gonna be

784
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 5: the smartest, the strongest, or the fastest. The one thing

785
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 5: you can control is your work ethic and if you

786
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 5: outwork people, good things will happen to you. And that's

787
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 5: kind of been my mantra. It's just do what people

788
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 5: aren't willing to do, do to things when people aren't watching.

789
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 5: All the little things add up to that big victory.

790
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 2: Right cool. Was your dad supportive of you going into

791
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 2: the military.

792
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 5: He was extremely supportive, Like when I was starting to

793
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 5: get recruited by Naval Academy, he was like jumping up

794
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 5: and down. And you know, I think when nine to

795
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 5: eleven happened, we know what's going on. It was kind

796
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 5: of ironic. My mom got interviewed and they said like,

797
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 5: were you thinking, how are you feeling? And she is

798
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 5: all my think about right now is somehow, some way

799
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 5: my boys could get involved in this and it's scares

800
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 5: the shit out of me. And sure enough I came

801
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 5: back from University of Massachusetts for Christmas break told him

802
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 5: I was transferring to Villanova and get into the military,

803
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 5: and I think it took you know, my dad was happy,

804
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 5: but he kind of knew what was going to go down,

805
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 5: and I think my mom got really nervous, and I

806
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 5: don't think it ever ended for it really, you know.

807
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 5: Like I remember one time and I'm in Africa and

808
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 5: we were getting ready to fly back the next day.

809
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 5: So I just picked up the phone and gave her

810
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 5: a call and she's like, where have you been, Like

811
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 5: it's been two months. And I'm like, oh, I'm in Africa.

812
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 5: And she's like what And I'm like, oh, it's fine,

813
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 5: it's fine. She goes, they don't send you places where

814
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 5: it's fine. I'm like, it's all good, and she's like,

815
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 5: oh God help me and all this stuff. So I

816
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 5: think it was really tough on moms, which is understandable.

817
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you went in, did you know you were

818
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: going to be that dedicated to your craft and you're

819
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: going to do this many tours and special forces being

820
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: in your.

821
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's like, you know, I'm always dedicated

822
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 5: to what I do, So I knew I was all in.

823
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 5: I just wouldn't make a decision because I thought it

824
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 5: might be cool or something like that. I originally wanted

825
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 5: to fly for the Navy and be a pilot. And

826
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 5: then when I went to Villanova, our assistant Marine officer instructor,

827
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 5: who's a gun resargeant drill instructor, he was like force recon.

828
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 5: He was a super badass, and he pulled me aside.

829
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 5: He's like, you want to fly for the Navy. I'm

830
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 5: like yeah, He's like that's lame, and I'm like oh,

831
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 5: and he's like, you need to be on the Marines

832
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 5: doing this. And then when I started seeing more of

833
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,800
Speaker 5: like the reconnaisance side and special opside, I'm like, that's it,

834
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 5: That's what I want to do, And even just fueled

835
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 5: it the more deployments here on, Like you're I did

836
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 5: one torn the infantry and you see all the recon

837
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 5: guys and special Op guys flying around helicopters and stuff.

838
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 2: Nearly that's that's cool.

839
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 5: And then you make it a recon You're like, Okay,

840
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 5: this is cool, but special Ops is a little bit cooler,

841
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 5: and you kind of keep chasing that and I literally

842
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 5: got to do everything I wanted to do in the military.

843
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 5: It was it was really amazing time, great memories. Have

844
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 5: no regrets about anything. I'll do it all over again.

845
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,439
Speaker 5: It was just amazing being around this set of human

846
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 5: beings was around and I've literally saw the best in

847
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 5: mankind and the very worst of mankind all within the

848
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 5: same timeframe.

849
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: You know, there's a there's a question that I that

850
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: I rarely ask servicemen because I know it's I'm not

851
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: trying to put you on the spot or anything. But Connor,

852
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: you have that clip of us withdrawing from Afghanistan. I

853
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: know you weren't in at this point, yep, But having

854
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 1: served as many tours as you did, I feel like

855
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: you're one of the experts that I can asked this question.

856
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: But when we withdrew from Afghanistan, and Connor was just saying,

857
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: this thing looks like a mission impossible movie. And most

858
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: of you have seen this. If you're on YouTube, you're

859
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: watching it right now, but Connor's putting up on the show.

860
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: But if you're listening on the radio, this is that

861
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: crazy scene of this massive cargo plane going down the

862
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: runway where we've apparently won this twenty year of war.

863
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: Yet we're fleeing and there's probably a couple of thousand people.

864
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 2: A bunch of them obviously are not nice people.

865
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: Some of them look like they're just desperate to get out,

866
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: and they're just clinging onto the wheel of this airplane,

867
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: climbing up on the side. As it's taken off, they

868
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: cut the clip off because as it takes off, there's

869
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: damn near a hundred people clinging on this thing, and

870
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: you just see people fall off and obviously the rest guy.

871
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 2: This is why I stopped shopping. I was just special

872
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 2: to my first on Amazon.

873
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine how you s what are your

874
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: emotional cycles online when you shot from major retailers, like

875
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: you know and all this, I mean you ei, I knew.

876
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 2: What was going and we're gonna start with and it

877
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 2: was actually up in northern California.

878
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 5: Real money, and my phone was million dollars across the

879
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 5: house there like oh immediately this, I'm like, then.

880
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 2: You got to turn and I started automatically access to

881
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 2: the day.

882
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 5: It was really frustrating, and I instantly started thinking about

883
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 5: gold Star families that they lost the loved one over

884
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 5: there and now they're seeing this, And that literally was

885
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 5: my entire phone phone car ride back. I was on

886
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 5: the phone just with gold Star families talking to them

887
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 5: because they were like, why did we do this, why

888
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 5: did we lose our loved one?

889
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 2: And what was this all about?

890
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 5: And we truly the Biden administration, I was gonna say

891
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 5: it failed United States Military tenfold.

892
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 2: This is all Joe Biden's fault.

893
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 5: And by doing this and not even accepting responsibility, I mean,

894
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 5: you asked this administration, they're like, oh, it went perfect,

895
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 5: we have to get out there eventually.

896
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 2: That would I mean people should get fired.

897
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, and nothing happened, and they won't even make amends

898
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 5: where they're like, hey, that could have been done better.

899
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 2: I think we would forgive them, like, Okay, at least

900
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 2: you learned your life.

901
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: Own up, don't on me and tell me.

902
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 5: And it's like, you know, and they're not, and they're

903
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 5: just saying how great it was. And you just feel

904
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 5: for those thirteen service members who died at the Abbey Gate.

905
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 5: That is directly blood on Joe Biden's hands. These men

906
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 5: and women had no idea what to do. I mean,

907
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 5: you had like lance corporal's like these eighteen nineteen year

908
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 5: old kids making decisions like God, who's going to come in?

909
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 2: Who's not coming in? Are we fighting these guys? Should

910
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 2: we shoot that guy?

911
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 5: They had no idea to the point there's a really

912
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 5: good testimony on Capitol Hill as a Marine sniper. I

913
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 5: think it's like a double amputee or something. He got

914
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 5: messed up in the Abbygate thing and he told the

915
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 5: story where he's like, you know, I had my scope

916
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 5: on Taliban.

917
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 2: We're like, should we engage? They're like, we don't know.

918
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 5: A lieutenant colonel came in, like the big boss, who

919
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 5: should have an idea, and it's like, who can approve this?

920
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 2: And he said, I'm not sure. I mean, it was

921
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:03,479
Speaker 2: that bad.

922
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 5: And the Marine Corps is known for being decentralized and

923
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 5: allowing the lower ranks to make this quick decisions so

924
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 5: we'd be more effective, and they totally hamstrung everyone and

925
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 5: we lost a lot of political footing. I mean, what

926
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 5: people don't realize.

927
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: The message is said to the rest of the world.

928
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 5: People talk about NATO all the time, which I get it,

929
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 5: but does anyone realize how pissed off NATO was at

930
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 5: us when we did that? So Article five in NATO

931
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 5: is attack on one's attack on all. You know, the

932
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 5: one time that was initiated, it was for US nine

933
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 5: to eleven. They said, hey, they attacked the United States

934
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 5: we're all in this together. We literally just failed. And

935
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 5: there was two congressmen who went over, both veterans, one Democrat,

936
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 5: one Republican, and they were saying like it basically became

937
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 5: a diplomatic mission for us, because everyone in NATA was

938
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 5: pissed off, like, what the hell do you guys do that?

939
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 2: Why are you uniting? Me?

940
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 5: Gets a heads up, nothing, and it caused a lot

941
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 5: of riff where they kind of had to calm that down.

942
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,240
Speaker 5: And again, if you're one of our maybe our partner nations,

943
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 5: maybe you're not exactly an ally quot quote, but we're

944
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 5: in there helping, we're trying to influence you.

945
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 2: Do you think they look at you and you say, hey,

946
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,439
Speaker 2: I'm going to do this, and they're gonna be like, really,

947
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 2: really are you going to follow through them?

948
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: That one?

949
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 5: We just left a lot of people behind dry. And

950
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 5: what really kills me is the interpreters that we had

951
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 5: and we made deals with them that you will get

952
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 5: to come over here, and we just left them high

953
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 5: and dry. And me in particular, I was in charge

954
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 5: of the seventh Afghan Special Operations Kandaker to Retaling, and

955
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 5: we had all the commandos and special forces and those

956
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 5: guys were hot commodities and the Talban wanted them. And

957
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 5: what I understood is they basically re find these guys.

958
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 5: They either join us or we're going to kill you

959
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 5: and your family. And these commandos were put into a

960
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 5: terrible spot. And I heard rumors we got them out

961
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 5: of the country. I'm not sure if we did, but man,

962
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 5: that was a lot of time that we just we

963
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 5: just wasted and we lost lives. And again it goes

964
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 5: back to what we kind of talked about off show.

965
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 5: Was this the political objective? We didn't establish a goal

966
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 5: and defined victory for us.

967
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. Man, we're going to take a break here. When

968
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 1: we come back, I want to make sure that we

969
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: go down. I'm going to bring this back full circle

970
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: because I do feel like all these things are somehow connected.

971
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: It's a massive documentary called The Octopus on Netflix, which

972
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: you talk about rabbit holes. Man, that thing is crazy,

973
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: but it's really open up my eyes that all this

974
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: stuff is connected. We'll be right back. We're going to

975
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 1: talk about Elon Musk and his disaster, not his disaster,

976
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 1: excuse me, Don Levin's disaster the one day that he

977
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: had his show over on X We'll be right back

1020
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: I wish I could be there if we didn't have this,

1021
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: but I definitely want to work with you on the

1022
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: next one. Sure. Now, one other thing that I thought

1023
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: was really cool before we go back down to the

1024
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 1: conversation is the Grower and the flower that you represent

1025
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: is actually named after.

1026
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 2: The Helmond Province. Yeah, which story behind that?

1027
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1028
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 5: So the Helmand is in southwestern Afghanistan. It was easily

1029
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 5: the most volatile area on Earth. Whyos such key terrain

1030
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 5: is in southwest part of Afghanistan packs right up Pakistan.

1031
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 5: You have this huge river valley goes through called the

1032
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 5: Helman River, a picture like the Mississippi River, and it's

1033
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 5: a very bizarre place. It's like a triple canopy jungle

1034
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 5: and you're looking up at the mountaintops. It just isn't

1035
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 5: if you had to draw Afghanstan, you're not drawing this place.

1036
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 5: And what would happen is in the springtime, the Taliban

1037
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 5: would come back up from Pakistan tell the farmers to

1038
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 5: throw out their poppy, grow poppy they coachved the heroin

1039
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 5: sell it and that's how they fuel their insurgency.

1040
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 2: After c October, they would just.

1041
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:33,919
Speaker 5: Walk back down to Pakistan and wait out the winter,

1042
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 5: and we were just kind of there waiting for them

1043
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:36,919
Speaker 5: to come back up and do it all over again.

1044
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 2: So they didn't want to give up that area.

1045
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 5: And what we started to do in a marine Raiders

1046
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 5: that if you served in Afghanistan as a raider, you

1047
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 5: became part of the Helman Valley Gun Club and get

1048
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 5: an HVGC tattoo on you. So when we were thinking

1049
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 5: about this company and what we wanted to accomplish, just

1050
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 5: through HVGC up on the wall, and they came pretty quick,

1051
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 5: Helman Valley Growers Company. It's like, man, that sounds cool.

1052
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 5: It gives us a great opportunity to talk about the

1053
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,320
Speaker 5: legends of the helmet. Let's go brief the boys. So

1054
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 5: we went and talked to the Raiders and said, are

1055
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 5: you guys good with this? If not, we can find

1056
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 5: a different name. And they're like, now, ann be cool.

1057
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 5: Can we get a job with you when you get

1058
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 5: out that it's all about it is having veterans, making

1059
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:14,240
Speaker 5: medicine for veterans.

1060
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: That's awesome. And so how much of the staff is

1061
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: actually veterans now.

1062
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 5: Probably I would say around like fifty percent of the Yeah,

1063
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 5: so it's not bad, you know, great, Yeah, we bring

1064
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 5: them in. You know, we just we want to try

1065
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 5: to find what works best for you. And you know,

1066
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 5: we get some guys who are really outgoing who want

1067
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 5: to work in sales. We got some people who might

1068
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 5: not want that stuff and do a couple of different

1069
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 5: things whatever it is. But again, it's just great to

1070
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 5: have veterans around because you still get that same culture

1071
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:40,240
Speaker 5: like you did in the military.

1072
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

1073
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a performance on the demand culture, right, like

1074
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 5: we can have our fun make jokes on the everyone.

1075
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:47,879
Speaker 2: When it's time to get to work, though, you turn

1076
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 2: to switch on and get going.

1077
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, we tease this at the beginning of

1078
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: the show, but we were talking about how elon musk com,

1079
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: you know, connecting the dots with TikTok and the other

1080
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 1: social media platform And here's my theory on it, man,

1081
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: is you know, obviously Instagram and Facebook are bought and

1082
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,720
Speaker 1: paid for as ducks under the control of the matrix

1083
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: as we call it.

1084
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 4: Right.

1085
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 1: We saw that during COVID, we saw that in congressional hearings.

1086
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 1: It was blatant that the DOJ, the FBI, they're tapped

1087
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: into them directly telling what to say, well not to say,

1088
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: who to censor, who not to censor. There's no debate

1089
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: about this. This isn't a tenfoil hack. I can't you know,

1090
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 1: I got called the conspiracy there is so many times,

1091
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: but now it's kind of a conspiracy theory if you

1092
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: don't have a conspiracy theory, you know what I mean.

1093
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: And they all became truck I mean, I would say

1094
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: ninety five percent up. Yeah, you know some of them

1095
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: are still out there, but even those, yeah, there's still

1096
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 1: some smoke there, right, so we know what's going on there.

1097
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: Now you see, okay, TikTok is being you know, billed

1098
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: as the Chinese platform. Maybe their narrative is going to

1099
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: be different. Maybe they're not pushing the you know, kids

1100
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: having sex change operations agenda as much. And to your point,

1101
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: though most people don't realize and how asked backwards we

1102
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,439
Speaker 1: are in this country. Is TikTok actually in China, kids

1103
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:04,439
Speaker 1: under fifteen can only watch educational shit on it. Kids

1104
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 1: under fifteen can can only watch it's restricted on their

1105
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: account that they could only watch it two hours a day.

1106
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 2: And also they have their own like this is you know,

1107
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 2: not that it's a bad thing.

1108
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 6: They have their own app like specific it's called dough

1109
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 6: un or something, and so it's you know, it's kind

1110
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 6: of a different thing completely over there.

1111
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: To your point, connored, the reason they do that because

1112
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: they have to have different algorithms. And I have no

1113
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 1: doubt that there is a narrative an agenda. But you know,

1114
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: I don't have TikTok. I downloaded it. Yeah, I saw titties,

1115
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 1: I saw cars, I saw money. I didn't see communist flags.

1116
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 1: I didn't see an agenda. I didn't really see any.

1117
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,320
Speaker 1: I see more of that shit on Instagram and Facebook.

1118
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 1: I see more political content being jammed down my throat.

1119
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: I see different advertising that you can tell is being

1120
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,359
Speaker 1: steered in a different way. Right, so you see what's

1121
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: going on. We've already talked about our TikTok theories, and

1122
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,359
Speaker 1: my prediction on that, by the way, is this act

1123
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 1: will get past they will nationalize it because that's es

1124
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: such what we're going to do. We're going to turn

1125
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: it into another nationalized platform. And again it sounds crazy, right,

1126
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: but when you see these guys talking about who's buying it.

1127
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: It's the same investment banking, it's the same groups. Right

1128
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: about your twenty one and meters? What's your twenty one?

1129
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 4: Men?

1130
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: You cannot pay me enough money to give you that?

1131
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 1: Guess who bought that blackrock? Now, why wouldn't an institutional

1132
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: banking you know, you know, give a shit about that? Right?

1133
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: So you really start seeing these layers and layers kind

1134
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: of being put on this now. So now we're talking

1135
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: about Okay, there's X, right, and this guy buys it.

1136
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: First of all, he has been alienated by this administration,

1137
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: no pun intended, since the day they got in. He

1138
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 1: started the ev car revolution. When Congress had an evy summit,

1139
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: everybody was excited except GM for like, if that doesn't

1140
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 1: blow your mind and tell me that we're not politicized

1141
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: and that we don't give a shit about It's not

1142
00:49:56,080 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: about the environment, it's about politics. It's about control. If

1143
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: the dude who invented the electric guard is not getting

1144
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,919
Speaker 1: invited to electric guards of it, what kind of world

1145
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: are you living in?

1146
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 2: Exactly? You know, I mean, it's insane.

1147
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 5: He's probably the closest thing to an alien that we

1148
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 5: have here on Earth, and they're just like, no, no, no, no,

1149
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 5: he took away our playgrounds.

1150
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 2: Put him in the time outfit, put him in the

1151
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 2: time and.

1152
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: The guy's gone to Mars. He's underground, above ground, satellitze this,

1153
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: that whatever. But it's like, dude, you got one of

1154
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: the smartest humans on Earth. Yeah, and they're gonna cheat

1155
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 1: him like this, right, so now you buy Z you

1156
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 1: know how he buys X right says listen, you know

1157
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: some shit may go down, but I'm not gonn censor anybody.

1158
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 2: You don't like it.

1159
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: Literally, all this garbage about it is you just have

1160
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: to unfollow the people that are speeling the garbage. You

1161
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: don't like Alex Jones, delete them, you don't like Trump,

1162
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: delete them. You don't need to cancel the person on that.

1163
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 1: You're choosing to follow the shit and get pissed off

1164
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: about it. Yes, so we see all that going down,

1165
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: and now he buys the platform and now man, they're

1166
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 1: throwing everything at him. I mean they're going after his money.

1167
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: This whole thing with the EV charging stations. I'm pissed

1168
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,240
Speaker 1: off about it because they withheld eight billion dollars of grants,

1169
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: our money. Unless you allow forward and GM and Toyota

1170
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,760
Speaker 1: to charge at your stations that you paid and you revolutionized,

1171
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 1: then we won't give you these eight billion dollars. So

1172
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 1: finally he came down and they're throwing. He gives you know,

1173
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 1: he does this, then he brings on this clown and

1174
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: I cannot stand on Lemon, even back when I did

1175
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: watch the NN. To me, he's a race baider, He's

1176
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,439
Speaker 1: dividing the country. He was just spewing an ultra ultra

1177
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: left wing narrative. And again, I'm not political. I'm just

1178
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 1: a reality and I like to see both sides. But

1179
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: when I see somebody constantly creating division and cause, like

1180
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: every gidding show is about race, you know, And so

1181
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 1: I see that and then speech give them a platform. Yeah,

1182
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 1: dude lasted one day. Connor play this clip of they

1183
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: made he lasted one day and he gets hired by trum.

1184
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 4: Do you believe that X and you have some responsibility

1185
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 4: to moderate hate speech on the platform that you wouldn't

1186
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 4: have to answer these questions from reporters about the great

1187
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 4: replacement theory is release, I don't have to answer great

1188
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 4: Replacement theory as it relates to Jewish people.

1189
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 2: Do you think that I don't have to answer questions

1190
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 2: from those quarters. And the only reason I've done this

1191
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 2: interview is because you're on the X platform and you

1192
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 2: asked for it. Otherwise there would not.

1193
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 4: Do as you So you don't think do you think

1194
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 4: that you wouldn't get in trouble or you wouldn't be

1195
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 4: criticized for these things? Possibly I could care less as

1196
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 4: someone who has one of the largest social media and

1197
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:26,320
Speaker 4: information platforms in the world.

1198
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,720
Speaker 1: Right, but he's so used to just throwing fucking garbage

1199
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 1: out there. He can't even keep his race bating straight.

1200
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: It literally has nothing new. It's about his illegals. Israelis

1201
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with the legal conversation. So you're

1202
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: literally just throwing garbage out there. Getting in by and said, no,

1203
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: fuck you.

1204
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 5: What was incredible? And that's like people, when you get

1205
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 5: a chance to watch it. I went through it this morning.

1206
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 5: You've got to give Elon credit at how patient he was,

1207
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 5: Like I don't know how many different ways you could

1208
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 5: say the same answer to don Lemon. You see him

1209
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 5: pause and he's like, Okay, you're not getting this, let

1210
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:03,280
Speaker 5: me go through this. But he broke it down shotgun style,

1211
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 5: and he just exploited. To your point, what Don Lemon's

1212
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 5: agenda was.

1213
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely. Now this goes back full circle. Brother.

1214
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,720
Speaker 1: Is that act that I read about which was called

1215
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 1: the uh how was it, Caldigan? It was called the

1216
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 1: restrict Acts?

1217
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:16,799
Speaker 6: Right.

1218
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 1: I love how they gave these great names, the right

1219
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: which is really fuck you America Act, because if now

1220
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: that you see what's going on here, right, they see

1221
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: that he has a little bit of power. He's pushing

1222
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: this other agenda off the table. He's letting everybody have

1223
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: a platform. Yeah, he's not pushing one. He's not Fox News,

1224
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: he's not CNN. He's just saying, say whatever the hell

1225
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: you want, just don't get censored. This was supposed to

1226
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: be America. And I see this Restriction Act and I

1227
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: see these words, and it just gives me these chills

1228
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 1: of like, Okay, they're using just how they're weaponizing the

1229
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: DJ right now, they're weaponizing these obscure acts that nobody

1230
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,439
Speaker 1: fucking reads. These congressmen show up at the last hour,

1231
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: you know they're going to convince you that it's for

1232
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 1: the greater good of America. And really, now what they're

1233
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,360
Speaker 1: doing is all they have to do is like maybe

1234
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 1: the engineer was from Iran. Your band resuspect you? I

1235
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 1: mean literally, that's what's gonna be, and they can shut

1236
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 1: him down. And I do believe that as we head

1237
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: into this election this bill will get past. They're going

1238
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 1: to use it to censor X. I think. I think

1239
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,800
Speaker 1: Elon freaks the hell out of him. You know, this

1240
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 1: whole thing that you remember what happened with the satellites

1241
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: and Ukraine, and he's like, dude, you guys are blowing

1242
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: up people for no bucking reason. I don't want to

1243
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: be I don't want to be a party to that. Yeah,

1244
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: it's my satellite that I gave you for free. Well,

1245
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna sue you now. And you shouldn't be doing

1246
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:29,800
Speaker 1: that because you have the control. I have the control

1247
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: because I paid to put the satellite.

1248
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:31,360
Speaker 2: Exactly.

1249
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: You're borrowing my house and you're pissed off for my furniture,

1250
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, exactly, Like I can't make the ship up.

1251
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 5: No, no, it's it's really alarming. And to your point,

1252
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 5: like that's where we kind of circle us back, like

1253
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 5: turn the channel, look at something else.

1254
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 2: It's there, all right, no big deal. And what is

1255
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 2: hate speech?

1256
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,239
Speaker 5: I mean, that's up to you, like right now, someone

1257
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 5: says Dallas Cowboys are America's team. That's hate speech to me,

1258
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 5: all right, So which I do ban you for that. No,

1259
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:01,320
Speaker 5: it's just I'm not to pay attention to you and

1260
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 5: look at different things. And I just love what Elon

1261
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 5: has done in terms of you have a Tucker Carlson

1262
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 5: far right and you have a Don Lemon far left.

1263
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,319
Speaker 2: He doesn't care. He thinks everyone's voices should be heard.

1264
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 2: And that's it.

1265
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 5: That's what we are, that's our country. I mean to

1266
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 5: start saying all the hate speech stuff. I don't know, man,

1267
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 5: you just go down a weird rabbit hole. And it's

1268
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 5: all about them having control. And again they're pissed at Elon.

1269
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 5: He took their playground away. It's the most powerful app

1270
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 5: and everyone looks at that. And now some more reality

1271
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 5: is starting to hit. The truth is actually coming out,

1272
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 5: and the powers that be don't like that.

1273
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: Connor, you've been pretty quet over there, but I say

1274
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: you it should say.

1275
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 6: I was just about to ask you guys, remember the

1276
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 6: Twitter files that Elon put out back in like late

1277
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,800
Speaker 6: twenty twenty two early twenty twenty three, where like he

1278
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,800
Speaker 6: gave certain journalists the Keys to the Ferrari, so to speak,

1279
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 6: where he gave out a whole bunch of internal documents

1280
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,320
Speaker 6: that he was finding with the after he took over Twitter.

1281
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Matt, Matt to leave right, a whole bunch of

1282
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 2: and uh, pretty much.

1283
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 6: You know, it just gave a lot of clarity and

1284
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 6: transparency as to you know, how our government was using

1285
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 6: social media.

1286
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:10,280
Speaker 2: So obviously they feel threatened.

1287
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 6: And overall, it's a bit ironic that they're doing this

1288
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 6: with TikTok now because it's like, yeah, obviously it's a

1289
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 6: band aid over the crack, and I kind of want

1290
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 6: us to look the other way. I mean, you know,

1291
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,760
Speaker 6: that's how I'm kind of viewing it after their reaction

1292
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,800
Speaker 6: to Elon's Twitter file drops and everything.

1293
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: So you're nailing it, I I And we use this thing,

1294
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:29,800
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's in certain series like False Flag or

1295
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: Spoke with Smoking Mirrors. But I do feel like a

1296
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:34,800
Speaker 1: lot of the things happening right now are to distract

1297
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 1: this from the bigger shit that's going on.

1298
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 2: You nailed it, right, like, let us fight over here

1299
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 2: and then you maneuver over there.

1300
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we haven't even touched on it, and

1301
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:43,879
Speaker 1: I knew this was going to happen, going way over.

1302
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: But you know this stuff and will probably end on

1303
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:48,360
Speaker 1: this because I know you and I you got to

1304
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 1: come back, man, because I would love to talk do

1305
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 1: some more. But uh, you know what we see right

1306
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 1: now with this, with these conflicts with Russia, Ukraine, Israel,

1307
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 1: Palace Tie. You know my take on its probably similar

1308
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 1: to yours. I think we differentiate a little bit on

1309
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 1: the Palestine Israel conflict. But at the end of the day,

1310
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:09,840
Speaker 1: it's the military industry of the complex at work. America

1311
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: doesn't give a shit about anybody, right, I don't. Well,

1312
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: when I say America, I think the politicians in charge

1313
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 1: of shipping billions of dollars of bombs to one country

1314
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: and then giving the other country aid, and then giving

1315
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: this country bombs and then giving this country aid and

1316
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: making a big deal about it. That's on one out side.

1317
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: And you see this narrative being spun about Russia. There's

1318
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: fabulous six part documentary with Oliver North that he did

1319
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: about ten years ago with Putin. It's on Netflix, and

1320
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: when you watch it, Putin like predicts all this. He's like,

1321
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: here's what's going to happen. I made a deal with NATO,

1322
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: they expanded, I didn't want to do so we're eventually

1323
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: going to have to go and blah blah blah. And

1324
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 1: the narrative that gets spread here now is like, oh,

1325
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 1: this guy's crazy, Like our agenda is to give you

1326
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: this little little Lizinski what the hell's name is? And

1327
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: I say that asparagingly because it's offensive the way he

1328
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: rolls it. You got to give me money like he's

1329
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 1: not even asking anymore. No, he's demanding. He's like, no, like,

1330
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 1: give me a blank check. Don't even write it anymore.

1331
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 1: I say, here's sixty billion, here's eighty billion. And I

1332
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: don't know enough about legislative. When the fuck did he

1333
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 1: become that easy to give that much money to? Just

1334
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: here's weapons, here's moms, here's ship. Like we don't even

1335
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: ask what you're using the money for. No show me receipts,

1336
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:22,479
Speaker 1: bro or where are.

1337
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 5: The weapons going? Are we tracking the weapons? I mean

1338
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 5: Ukraine a huge arm dealer because we did. That's a

1339
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:27,440
Speaker 5: Taliban I.

1340
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 1: Mean absolutely absolutely, And then and then you see that

1341
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: and then it's like no, but okay, going back to

1342
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: you said, it's something in the phrase that you use.

1343
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: We go into these conflicts and not wars, and we

1344
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: get him pretty names desert storm, deser shield, this that that.

1345
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 1: I don't even know what the hell they're calling this one.

1346
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 1: But then it's like, what's the objective exactly? You think

1347
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: you're going to overthrow Putin? We can't even put a

1348
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 1: sentence together on this side, and this dude can, like

1349
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, talk and walk circles around you like the

1350
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 1: intelligence level of Poot I imagine as IQ was really.

1351
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 2: Did you guys see the Tucker Carlson interview with them?

1352
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 5: I did that, and I encourage people go watch that

1353
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 5: because you're going to see he's evil, he's terrible, but

1354
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 5: he has very very high IQ. I mean, that's the

1355
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 5: thing where it's like you got to know your adversaries

1356
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:14,959
Speaker 5: and understand how they think. And this guy is a really,

1357
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 5: really really smart man and he's conniving. He'll do whatever

1358
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 5: it takes. And that's where you know, to your point

1359
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 5: about the political objectives. There's a great white paper General

1360
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 5: Mattis wrote while he was a fellow up at Stanford,

1361
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 5: and he talks about since post World War Two, we've

1362
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 5: had Korea, Vietnam, Persian Golf War, Afghanistan, Iraq, and some

1363
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 5: other little things. Right, He's like, the only conflict that

1364
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 5: we define a political objective was the Persian golf war.

1365
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 2: Get him out of Kuwait. We're done.

1366
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 5: And I'm sure we're looking up the street at Bagdad,

1367
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:49,439
Speaker 5: same boy. In about forty eight hours, seventy two hours,

1368
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 5: we could be up there own in that, but they

1369
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 5: held to their political objective. Now you look at I

1370
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 5: don't know Korea, nothing, it was a stalemate, Vietnam, we lost,

1371
00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 5: You got Persian golf. Okay, we won. We felt good.

1372
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 5: It was a great time. Then you have Afghanistan and Iraq.

1373
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 5: Is that no one could define the political objective and

1374
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 5: it's really disheartening when you're one of the guys going

1375
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 5: over there and you ask the question, what is the

1376
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 5: definition of success and they can't give it to you.

1377
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 5: So now with this whole Ukraine thing, they want sixty

1378
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 5: billion that we don't have, and all they want to

1379
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 5: do is give that money, go to the contractors, they

1380
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 5: build their weapons, they send it over and whatever it

1381
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 5: may be. But you got to sect death. Who's saying

1382
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 5: we're going to destroy the Russian military sixty billion and

1383
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 5: a bunch of Ukrainians no offense. Ukraine that's not going

1384
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 5: to get it done. You got a potus who's really

1385
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 5: close to the same regime change, which we tried that

1386
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 5: a bunch of times, and gold star for effort, but

1387
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 5: we're not very successful. And then look at the history

1388
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 5: of Ukraine and the Soviet Union, go all the way

1389
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 5: back to Katine the Great when she took Crimera because

1390
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 5: it's her warm water port, sea lines of communication. It

1391
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 5: has no strategical value to us, and obviously the Russians

1392
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 5: won it, and to the point in twenty fourteen and

1393
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 5: a referendum where the people there said they want to

1394
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 5: be more tied to the Russian Federation, saying I agree

1395
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 5: with it, but we're democracy and that's what they want

1396
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 5: to do. Okay, So to me, this just seems like

1397
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 5: Iraq weapons of mass destruction time. Yep, just keep giving

1398
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 5: us some money. If not, your kid's gonna go to Poland.

1399
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 5: It's World War three. Fuck you for saying that, because

1400
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 5: there is no reason for him Vladimir Putin to go

1401
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 5: into Poland. He already has his hands full running Russia

1402
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 5: a ton of natural resources. He doesn't want to take

1403
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 5: over or invade Poland because then we do have to

1404
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 5: into axactly, and that ends with him being over and

1405
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 5: he knows that.

1406
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no. And you know, I, in fact, we

1407
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 1: had a meeting about this. I was guys, you know

1408
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 1: this whole thing with Israel and Palace down. I'm like,

1409
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 1: this has been going for seventy five years. There's nothing

1410
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: higher anybody can say to change anything. I have my

1411
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 1: own feelings on it. It's horrible. I hate seeing little

1412
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 1: kids suffer. Blah blah blah. But I do feel like

1413
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,720
Speaker 1: I can bring it up because you if anybody is

1414
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 1: highly qualified to chime in, and my opinion on it

1415
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 1: is it's just an awful situation.

1416
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 2: Yeah right.

1417
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 1: And John Stewart really broke it down in a brilliant way.

1418
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 1: And he's like, first of all, we got to talk

1419
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 1: about what the fuck happened sixty years ago, forty years ago.

1420
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 1: We're here today. Here we got now, you got eight

1421
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 1: ten million people, whatever you got here? What is the agenda?

1422
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:10,919
Speaker 1: When you said we're going to liberate obliterate a moss,

1423
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 1: that's like saying I want to go down too Afghanistan

1424
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 1: and every single terrorist. You just can't do that. Not

1425
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 1: to mention from the first bomb that you dropped, you

1426
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 1: just created an army of new terrorists, people that hate America,

1427
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 1: hate Israel. We're giving them the bombs. The bombs, say USA.

1428
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 1: And so now we've created this with to your point,

1429
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 1: no agenda, no end goal. The end goal is with

1430
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 1: the destruction of Hamas. That's not going to happen. These

1431
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 1: fuckers are embedded there, you know. And and if I

1432
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 1: was there and i'm those people, well, if my option

1433
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 1: is Israel, who are you going to pick? They don't

1434
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 1: have any other options. You're not giving them another option, right,

1435
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 1: So now we're going to bomb the shit out of you.

1436
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 1: When bomb your hospitals, your hotels are stick classrooms, this

1437
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: and that, And then the surrounding countries aren't fucking helping, right,

1438
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 1: You got the Saudis, you got the Kuwaitis, you got

1439
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 1: the Arabs, you got on you got fucking Egypt, like

1440
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 1: no peace out. Yeah I read somewhere, dude, Saudi Rabae

1441
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 1: give like sixty million dollars. That's like one of their

1442
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: fucking leopard tiger like necklaces.

1443
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 2: Dude, that's a lunch.

1444
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 1: They gets so weird to me that nobody. Why aren't

1445
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 1: you talking about that, Biden? Why don't you talk about

1446
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 1: that You're like, why isn't the pressure like, hey dude,

1447
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: we're not going to fall.

1448
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 2: No starve, or what about what about the Abraham Accords.

1449
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 1: That's it.

1450
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 5: I mean, it's literally it was right there. And this

1451
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 5: is where egos came in. And listen, I'm not I'm

1452
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 5: not Trump, I'm not. I know people are gonna get triggered.

1453
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 5: But and I was stunned at how well the foreign

1454
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 5: policy was doing under that administration. But when they literally

1455
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 5: started getting the Abraham Accords going, and Saudi Arabia want

1456
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 5: to normalize relations with Israel and just calmed down the

1457
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 5: neighborhood a little bit, they all.

1458
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: Can got of work. They were hanging out talking and we.

1459
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 2: Wouldn't do it because they didn't want to give Trump

1460
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 2: a victory.

1461
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: Yep.

1462
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 5: And then Iran who got emboldened because next thing, you know,

1463
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 5: all their sanctions were taken off.

1464
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 2: They got about seventy billion and cash.

1465
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:58,919
Speaker 5: Now they can start doing this stuff and fund these

1466
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 5: groups like Hamas, And we missed the golden opportunity to

1467
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:05,960
Speaker 5: maybe bring a little bit of peace there and just

1468
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 5: because of egos and politics and all that stuff, and

1469
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 5: we mucked it up.

1470
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 1: No, it's funny and sometimes people call me a Trump

1471
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: are now and stuff? Dude, No, absolutely not. Everyone's going

1472
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: he's an entertainer. I think it's it's a shame on

1473
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 1: America that that's become my best choice. You knows, the

1474
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 1: lesser are two evils. I mean, but when I look

1475
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 1: at this conflict, and I'm not pro either side, but

1476
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 1: it's just like, dude, to me, nitty know, I who's

1477
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 1: a true evil in the sense that he's hurting his

1478
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 1: own people, you know? And and he's the same way

1479
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 1: we are now invested in some military complex. His invested

1480
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: interests is this conflict because that's him, that's his That's

1481
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 1: that's how he exists, right, And when you look at

1482
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 1: how they're defining success, it's an impossible objective, right right.

1483
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 1: You're not going to just eliminate eight million people. They're

1484
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 1: not going to just give up. And in fact, all

1485
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 1: these teenagers are planning to blow your ass back up.

1486
01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: You know, those awful what happened, But they're also master

1487
01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:00,440
Speaker 1: Like what I saw, you know, there's these thousand behead babies.

1488
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's not true. If it was, you would

1489
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 1: have seen one picture of it sure enough. After well,

1490
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, maybe that wouldn't really happen. There was no

1491
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 1: but that's what really raged everybody said, Oh fuck, dude,

1492
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: carp bomb the fuck on, you know what I mean.

1493
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 1: So when I see all that in minded, what happened

1494
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 1: is awful. Those fuckers are awful. I mean, don't go. Yeah,

1495
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 1: you know, I said at the beginning to show Happy

1496
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 1: New Year, I'm Persian, and dude, my country got overtaken

1497
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: by fucking lunaticts, you know, And to this day my

1498
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:27,960
Speaker 1: parents have become disenfranchise with the religion. They believe in

1499
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 1: God higher power, but they're like, dude, this shit's batshit crazy.

1500
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 1: You know that the ideology that some of them bring

1501
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 1: it in. Not all of them are bad, like, but no,

1502
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 1: I think what's happened in that part of the world

1503
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 1: has been years and decades and centuries of just this

1504
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: ideology that gets ingrained into the younger generation. They make

1505
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 1: movies about it, but it's true. You know, if you're

1506
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:50,560
Speaker 1: five years old in Palestine, you're a little Palestinian kid,

1507
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna wake up hating America and you're gonna hate

1508
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 1: Israel and this shit, this cycle will continue until somebody

1509
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 1: can have a rational conversation. John Stewart said the best.

1510
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:00,880
Speaker 1: Instead of these billions of dollars, we're given them to

1511
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:04,440
Speaker 1: bombit created the military zone. All these fucking Arab countries

1512
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 1: fund it. You've man it like you did North and

1513
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 1: South Korea. Let these guys stay here. You guys stay there,

1514
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 1: and everybody fucking be nice. But you know what would

1515
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 1: hurt the fucking bomb, sales and mail. It's bowing right

1516
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 1: on all that shit. And that's why, that's why this

1517
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 1: conflict won't go anywhere. And my prediction on that is

1518
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:21,280
Speaker 1: the same shit will star. They'll they'll do the seams fire,

1519
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 1: it'll go permanent. We'll go rebuild it. We'll spend all

1520
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 1: our comp money over there. And here we are, you know,

1521
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:29,560
Speaker 1: veterans suffering in the streets, and we won't even go

1522
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 1: down into you know, we got people living in hotels

1523
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 1: and we got our own veterans sleeping on the streets.

1524
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 4: Man.

1525
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 1: And this is where this country is.

1526
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 5: So frustrating that you know, you brought up a point

1527
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 5: that this really took me back somewhere. It's like where

1528
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 5: we are literally, I think just as a country and

1529
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 5: probably as a as a world, we're segregating into groups

1530
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 5: and I can't stand out, like I'll never forget General Miley,

1531
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 5: who's head of the Joint Chiefs. And after January was

1532
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 5: it six or whatever, that the whole thing went down.

1533
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:58,640
Speaker 5: He's talking about white rage and I want to learn

1534
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 5: about white rage. And I'm like, can someone tell the

1535
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 5: good General we are a country of individuals, like, we're

1536
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 5: not groups, like, not all white people rage or not

1537
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 5: all black people do this. It's up to the individual

1538
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 5: their integrity and who they are. And that's why you

1539
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 5: even see when we're dealing over stuff overseas, like they

1540
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 5: always said, never talk religion, but I had some great

1541
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 5: friends who were Muslim and we I was next to

1542
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 5: a Muslim shooting other Muslims, and I'm just like, hey,

1543
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 5: what's the deal. And they're like, you know what, Brian,

1544
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 5: you love Jesus Christ and he's a good man and

1545
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 5: all that stuff. We believe in Allah and everything. It's

1546
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 5: like the difference between us and them is I'll argue

1547
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 5: with you with the Kuran in my hand, and you

1548
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 5: argue with the Bible. He goes, these guys will put

1549
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:38,640
Speaker 5: the Quran in a war belt and convince you with

1550
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 5: a weapon, and that's not who we are.

1551
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 2: But you talk to people that are like, oh no,

1552
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 2: every Muslim, Oh my god. Now it's not. It's just

1553
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 2: you got to look at the individuals in each group

1554
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:49,520
Speaker 2: and find common ground of how can we make this work.

1555
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 5: We're not saying it's gonna be perfect. We're gonna have

1556
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 5: to compromise. Someone's gona get pissed off. That's just how

1557
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 5: it goes. But we got to start living in a

1558
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:58,880
Speaker 5: world in more peace and stop funding the military industrial complex.

1559
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 5: It makes a ton of money, but you see all

1560
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 5: the hate and everything is doing to the world, and

1561
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 5: you know, to your point, sometimes you like keeping us

1562
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 5: kind of confused so they can maneuver and something else

1563
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:08,920
Speaker 5: happens and you get more control.

1564
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, And I'll end on that as just we

1565
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 1: stop looking at each other as humans and it's become politics, ideology, religion, race,

1566
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 1: you know again another show, but like with the whole

1567
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:22,800
Speaker 1: race thing, it's like, how do you Morgan Freeman said

1568
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:24,840
Speaker 1: it best. It's really great thirty second clip. It's like,

1569
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, how do you stop racism? Stop fucking talking

1570
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 1: about He's like, I'm gonna stop looking at you as

1571
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 1: a white man. I want you to stop calling me

1572
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,240
Speaker 1: a black man. But let's just stop talking about race.

1573
01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:36,800
Speaker 1: You keep bringing up racism and race race, race, race, race.

1574
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:40,880
Speaker 1: Racism ain't going anyhow, you know, like John Steward and everything,

1575
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:41,720
Speaker 1: and Elon brought up.

1576
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 5: But it's like we're here now. Yeah, we can keep

1577
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:45,479
Speaker 5: talking about the eighteen hundreds all that stuff. I mean,

1578
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 5: the world was messed up. Slavery is a terrible economic system,

1579
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,639
Speaker 5: but everyone was doing it. I'm not I'm not condoning

1580
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:54,679
Speaker 5: it at all. But how long until we say, Okay, guys,

1581
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 5: we had to fucked up pass, got it, But what

1582
01:08:57,560 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 5: can we do now to make us live better? And

1583
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 5: all this stuff, and we're just not having those conversations,

1584
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 5: and again we're regressing. I think we're going back in

1585
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 5: the corners when I think Harvard had an all black

1586
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:10,639
Speaker 5: graduation and I'm like, I bet Martin Luther King Junior

1587
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 5: was probab you know, rolling in his grave like that's

1588
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 5: not I have a dream.

1589
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the opposite of what he wanted to happen. No,

1590
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 2: you see, I keep saying we're going to add and

1591
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:19,719
Speaker 2: we keep going, but I can't stop.

1592
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 1: Dude. Jordan Peterson, to me, is one of the most

1593
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 1: fucking brilliant human beings. When that man talks, I just like,

1594
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 1: it's almost like, dude, I just fan boiled. Yeah, And

1595
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 1: to think that not only does he get silenced in

1596
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,719
Speaker 1: his own country, not only does he get disbarred because

1597
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: he didn't go through fucking ethics training or some shit

1598
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 1: like that because he heard someone right, then he gets

1599
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 1: involved in this whole conversation and he's just talking about language,

1600
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:46,040
Speaker 1: and they turned down this whole narrative you're homophobic or

1601
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 1: this and that, And he's like, no, I just like,

1602
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 1: you can't just change the English language and accept me

1603
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:52,640
Speaker 1: to just want to use that. You want to be

1604
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:54,679
Speaker 1: called out, I'll call you that. Yeah, but you can't

1605
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:57,040
Speaker 1: all of a sudden just change the roles because you

1606
01:09:57,160 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 1: want to do that. So he's making an ideological stand.

1607
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:02,960
Speaker 1: They turn him into this boogeyman. And then now like

1608
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 1: he'll go to the college campuses and instead of just

1609
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 1: having dialogue, the discourse, especially on certain side, has been

1610
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 1: we're just going to scream you down. We're going to

1611
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 1: ban you from speaking at our campus. You know what

1612
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, even if Hitler was here, I'd want

1613
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 1: to hear what he has to say to see how

1614
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,320
Speaker 1: fucked up it is, or to see how I can

1615
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:23,800
Speaker 1: stop it, or to debate him, or maybe to convince others.

1616
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: But if you can't even listen to the other person's

1617
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 1: viewpoint other than just screaming him down and canceling him

1618
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 1: and shutting them off and deep platform aizing them and

1619
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:35,519
Speaker 1: taking away their credentials, it's like, dude, like, this isn't

1620
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:36,840
Speaker 1: This isn't what we alsoigned know.

1621
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:40,000
Speaker 5: And that's like President Obama back when like safe spaces

1622
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:43,240
Speaker 5: started becoming like the catchphrase and he was speaking at

1623
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 5: college and it was really good on him. He's like,

1624
01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 5: you know, all this stuff about safe space is oh

1625
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:49,600
Speaker 5: my god, you said something I need to go here,

1626
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 5: and you got to stay away from me. He goes, Listen,

1627
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:55,240
Speaker 5: people disagree with me every point zero eight seconds of

1628
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 5: my life. He's like, but what I do is I

1629
01:10:57,400 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 5: debate them. We have an adult conversation, and I try

1630
01:10:59,920 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 5: to influence my side. He's like, that's why you guys

1631
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:04,720
Speaker 5: are here in higher educations, not to say, oh I'm

1632
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 5: gonna have a safe space and no one.

1633
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 2: Talk to me. No, You're here to debate problem, soob

1634
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:09,600
Speaker 2: and do all that. And I'm like, you know, we

1635
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 2: all need to hear that little bit more.

1636
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:13,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, well listen, brother, I could talk to you for

1637
01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 1: hours on and a goo and we definitely will have

1638
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:18,840
Speaker 1: you back. I know the boys enjoyed it. Where they're

1639
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:20,840
Speaker 1: not flagging me to slow down or just or to

1640
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:22,840
Speaker 1: wrap it up. I know we've had a good show.

Speaker 1: You can't. You put a smile on your face. And

1646
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:33,040

1647
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:35,679
Speaker 1: forward to doing a solo show. I hate getting political
