1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: There is a concentrated effort to make sure that most 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: Americans look at firearms as evil and anyone that owns 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: utilizes is in support of the Second Amendment. Those people 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: are not patriots or red blooded Americans. Those people are 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: like the racists that absolutely need to be put off 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: the face of the planet. 7 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 2: The solutionary life, yeah, because we should be talking about 8 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 2: solutions and the problems all the time. 9 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 1: When our lifestyle should be solutionary. 10 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the problem. 11 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: Let's throw different things that could solve this at it. 12 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: Get that actual solution. Hey, guys, we don't ever have 13 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: to talk about this again. If we are still talking 14 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: about the importance of the Second Amendment and then we 15 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: already have a blueprint, we are having a problem. 16 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 3: We're revolving around this conversation, right, you know. 17 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: And so that is that overall thing of you know 18 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: what a solutionary is. We see that problem, get them solutions. 19 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 2: Let's move forward, and you want to be an example 20 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 2: for the So it's like more influence, Yeah, not power. 21 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 3: I can't run your life. 22 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: I mean I could coach you in certain areas, like 23 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: you're trying and get ripped, bro, Like you want to 24 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: change your diath. I like, there's too many X factors 25 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: in your life that I'm not aware of. 26 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 3: Of that context. 27 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: I've experienced that most of the people that don't have 28 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: no discipline don't never have no freedom. 29 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 2: Freedom comes from the discipline, right, Yeah. You know, do 30 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 2: you think if you educated more around that, then it 31 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 2: sort of again takes that curiosity away, teaches people to 32 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 2: respect them more and. 33 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 1: Things like that. The education always beats the legislation having 34 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: firearms and informing them the thought process of demystifying this firearm, 35 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: because now I want her brain to understand it. Like 36 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: a cell phone, it's the same, it's a tool. 37 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Kobe, Kobe was a beast. I referenced him 38 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 2: a bunch. My daughter started playing tennis, and you know, 39 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 2: trying to get her to go put the work in 40 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 2: and practice. She thinks she's working so hard. I'm working 41 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 2: harder than the other kids. And I said, but they've 42 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 2: been playing longer than you, Like you're trying to close 43 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 2: the gap. But like Kobe would talk about how he 44 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 2: would play, you know what, three four hours earlier every 45 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: day before. But he did that so he could get 46 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: better than everybody. But then he didn't stop, right, because 47 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: he had to stay ahead of everybody. He was a beast. 48 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 2: So using that sort of advice from Kobe sort of 49 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 2: like not win or lose, Like it's just I'm focused 50 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 2: on playing the game in the flow state, Like how 51 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 2: would do you take that? You personally take that to that? 52 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 2: How do you use that? And what game are you playing? 53 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: Initially I thought I was playing a firearms and Second 54 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: Amendment game. But you know, you want to make God laugh, 55 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: tell him your plans type of thing, right, It's really 56 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: more about this overall concept of this thing that we've 57 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: called the solutionary lifestyle. We have a community center in 58 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: Philly right where we obviously we do firearms training free 59 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: to everybody, voluntary donations. 60 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 3: We do it, blah blah blah blah blah. 61 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: But then it just leads you to different paths. So 62 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: you'll go, Okay, I can teach him. 63 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 2: Part of the transcendence, right right, Yeah, and you. 64 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 1: Go, all right, I told this person how to put 65 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: holes in bad people. Cool, there is a chance that 66 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: the hole may be in a good person. Now we 67 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: got to teach them how to stop the bleed. Now 68 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: we're talking about blood, we're talking about heart rate, we're 69 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: talking about tying a tourniquet. Now we're talking about firearms, 70 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: we're talking about avoiding conflict. You're talking about all of 71 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: these different things that you thought you were coming into 72 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: this from a Second Amendment and firearms perspective. 73 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 3: We're all now at like, hey, are you in shape? 74 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: Can you run away from a scenario so you don't 75 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: have to put holes in people or plug upholes? So 76 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: now it's turning into this other thing where that you 77 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: think you're doing this, but it's leaning you in a 78 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: direction of this, and I'm just like kind of let 79 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: go like fundraising, Like our model initially was fundraising, right, 80 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: we raised the money, we give it away. We raised 81 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,119 Speaker 1: about seven hundred thousand dollars to do these classes for free. 82 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: We raise it, we give it away, we get the content, 83 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: We do all these different things. We obviously created the 84 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: T shirt component after that to have you know. 85 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 3: Because it's voluntarily, but the shirts shirts. 86 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: Point being is during the fundraising phase, especially after you've 87 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: had some success, there's a different level of plateau. It's like, well, 88 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: you're on shows, people know you, you probably don't need 89 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: our support, and then you go, this is difficult. And 90 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: when that difficulty happens. Then you turn around and go, 91 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: all right, why am I stressing about this? I'm doing 92 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: good work, I'm doing this, I'm doing that. But that 93 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: problem then becomes an answer within it. Well, it's because 94 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: you're not expanding and going in this direction. So for me, 95 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: it just became like letting go and going we have 96 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: to have a holistic approach to the issues that are 97 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: in our communities, mostly urban because that's where I do 98 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: most of our work. We got to have this holistic 99 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: approach that's not just firearms related, not saying that the 100 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: firearm and a Second Amendment component is not important or 101 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: we're anti at this point, it's just what are the 102 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: other things that add value in that list of human 103 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: those areas of human activity. And I've noticed over the 104 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: last year or two, like I've been learning how to 105 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: grow food. I moved to Miami for like two months 106 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: and I was just on my homies farm and just 107 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: growing food because okay, cool, you can defend stuff, you 108 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: can patch people up. Can you feed like literally feed 109 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: yourself from the ground, And so that part of me 110 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: just letting go and accepting. I know that there's tyranny, 111 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: but I also know that all historically all tyrants have fallen, 112 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: like all of them. May take a while, yeah, but 113 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: sometimes too long, sometimes too long, but it just becomes like, yo, 114 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: are you being the most well rounded and holistic version 115 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: of this being to be able to be an example 116 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: for other people that whichever lane they are drawn to 117 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: you by. Oh you minda like your gym content? Alright, cool, 118 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: that's gym content. But what's your heart rate? Like? 119 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 3: What did you eat today? How much water did you drink? 120 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: You know, And so just letting everybody, just letting go 121 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: whatever way that this personal group of people shows up 122 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: in your life, taking them on the other parts of 123 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: the journey. But that means you have to be as 124 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: equally well rounded and inconsistent with that well rounded approach. 125 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: And that's really where I'm at with this solutionary lifestyle 126 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: brand because black guns matter. You know, it's been super helpful. 127 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: I mean we're cited in the Bruin decision, you know 128 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: what I mean. 129 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 3: So that's one area. 130 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: But just letting go and not making your identity only 131 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: be this thing that because you are way more well 132 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: rounded than the. 133 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 2: One thing that you're initially known for, yeah, you should 134 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 2: be eventually, And that's the transcendence part, right, and instant 135 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 2: to your point, it's not that guns aren't important. They 136 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 2: don't matter, but you realize that it's one small piece 137 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 2: of a much bigger puzzle at the end of the day. Right, 138 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 2: So it's like, okay, work on that, but then let's 139 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 2: go take care of these other things. Right. So the 140 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 2: solutionary life, Yeah, that's your thing. I want to find 141 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 2: out more about that. I like the name of it, yeah, 142 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 2: because we should be talking about solutions and the problems 143 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 2: all the time. 144 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: When we started it, the fund part of me for 145 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: cutting you. Everybody was saying, what you're doing is so 146 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: revel solutionary, and I got an etymological dictionary. I'm not 147 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: revolve just means we're just doing this and I don't 148 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: you know. And on a physical component, revolutions, you know, 149 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: oh man, it's like the Panthers. It's like the Founding 150 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: Fathers is kind of like that, and it's like your 151 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: revolutions can get bloody. So I don't want to initially 152 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: associated with that, not just because I'm not. 153 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 3: Capable of prepared, but it's like, yo, I get you, 154 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 3: but our interest is not to revolve around this same issue. 155 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 3: That's the problem. Most people just revolve around the problem. 156 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: So we were like, yo, we want to our lifestyle 157 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: should be solutionary. This is the problem. Let's throw different 158 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,679 Speaker 1: things that could solve this at it. Get that actual solution. Hey, guys, 159 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: we don't ever have to talk about this again if 160 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: we are still talking about the importance of the Second Amendment. 161 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: I think we're two hundred and forty eight. 162 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 3: Years in in America and then we already have a blueprint. 163 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 3: We are having a problem. 164 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: We're revolving around this conversation, you know, and so that 165 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: is that overall thing of you know what a solutionary is. 166 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: We see that, get them solutions. 167 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 2: Let's move forward. Yeah, the one thing back to revolutions, 168 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,679 Speaker 2: they're they're bloody, and that's not good. And I think, 169 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 2: I mean, this may be going off track a little bit, 170 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 2: but like it's almost and maybe this is part of 171 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 2: what a conservative would be would be like if we 172 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 2: could just conserve that constitution. So it's not we don't 173 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 2: want to revolt against that. Almost you would say the 174 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 2: lefts are trying to have a revolution against that. We 175 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 2: would want to preserve that, not have a revolution against that. 176 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 2: With every way you look. 177 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: At it they yes, And the why is, you know, 178 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: more so sometimes than what the why do they think 179 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: that they need to revolt against this constitutional thing? I've 180 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 1: noticed most of the people public servants allegedly right, they've 181 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: never read the Constitution. They've never understood why at the 182 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: articles of this? Why then the convening in Philadelphia twice? 183 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 3: Why these things? 184 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: So they don't understand context that makes them go, oh, well, 185 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: this isn't that important again. 186 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 3: Me in high school, I used to skip school. 187 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: And go down to Independence Hall and take tours. I 188 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: would listen to, you know, all of the tour guys 189 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: have conversations about like Ben Franklin's print. 190 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 3: Shop is there? 191 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: Right? 192 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 3: This all of this history in Philadelphia. 193 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: And I would go back to my neighborhood or even 194 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: my teachers and be like, Yo, what are we not 195 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: going to talk about this? This in the social studies class? 196 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: And you know, the teachers used to be like, where 197 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: are you getting this from? And that always stuck with me. 198 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 3: Why do you know that? 199 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: Right? Right? And I'm just like, man, this is kind 200 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: of like a concentrated effort to make sure that you know, 201 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: remember that movie to Truman show, Yeah, well he just 202 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: started to recognize like, is this are y'all like fucking 203 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: with me? 204 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 2: Yeah? 205 00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: And so I've recognized through that the initial high school 206 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: era of me going to go study different things and 207 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to. They didn't know. My teachers didn't 208 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: know they had a degree in a school that was like, hey, 209 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: just go teach in this area and we'll give you, 210 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: you know, we'll cut some off for your student loans. 211 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: They weren't passionate about the thing that they were teaching. 212 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: To translate it to me, and I'm just nerd out 213 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: because i done sold all of my out whatever and 214 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: I'm going down to downtown and Yo, this's Liberty bell 215 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: have y'all from the movie The Rocky Thing, The Steps. Yo, 216 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: this is like stuff. And you know, people take for 217 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: granted those things. So my point saying that is they 218 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: rebel against it or revolt against it because they never 219 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: understood it. They didn't get the why and the what 220 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: behind it, so that context was totally missing. And then 221 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: when you look at the thing that is highlighted, America 222 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: has a complicated history. I'm a black dude. I know 223 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: that there's been complicated history in its layer. I do 224 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: think that most Americans are trying to aspire to go 225 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: in a different but narratives in media are very powerful. 226 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: So if we don't know this context here, we don't 227 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: know the why and the what was actually going on, 228 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: then media goes yo, it's because everything one percent all 229 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: the time. 230 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 3: Was racist and there is no great area. 231 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: It's easy for them to say, hey, maybe we should 232 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: revolt against this if I don't look at it objectively 233 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 1: from their perspective to understand like, oh, you're kind of 234 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: like a dumb baby, you don't know right, Not saying 235 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: that I'm gonna acquiesce to their dumb babiness. I'm just 236 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: gonna go, oh, you just don't get it. It actually 237 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: gives me a better tool to engage that community because 238 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: I know that that's an education and application issue. You 239 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: don't know, so you can't apply it. So then I 240 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: just show up and just start teaching people stuff. So 241 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: with black guns Matter, I'm gonna I know, y'all vote 242 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: this way? 243 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 2: Cool? 244 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: All right, this is an educational opportunity when I show you, hey, 245 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: the Second Amendment. You know, if you if media said 246 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: everything is racist, that they tell you that gun control 247 00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: was a nigga, what I'm like, Yeah, yeah. It was 248 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: the first federal gun grab, the massacre at Wounded Knee. Hey, 249 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: you know Plymouth for Virginia, those colonies were like, absolutely not. 250 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: No black people can have guns, absolutely not. And this 251 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: predates the constitution that we're. 252 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 3: Now and now. 253 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: And so when you give that information, I'll go, yeah, man. 254 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 1: So if you don't like the system, I get it. 255 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: I'm not going to argue with you. But would you 256 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: want only that system that made rules and regulations that 257 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 1: you or the people that you say you're fighting for. 258 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 3: You're an ally whatever you call yourself. 259 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: Right, would you want the people that you say you're 260 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: fighting for to be victimized by the government because they're 261 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 1: not exercising their constitutional rights? 262 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 3: Does that really make you an ally? 263 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: And so that educational component, from a non adversarial perspective 264 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: is how we were able to be very, very successful. 265 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: Because I'm bro, you don't want a gun, cool, I'm 266 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: not tripping, just like I'm gonna respect your rights to 267 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: not have one. Yo, we both Americans. If you want 268 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: one later, I'm here for you. We'll give you a class, 269 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 1: but please respect my right to be like, nah, I 270 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: kind of just want one. And so the empathy component 271 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: based on knowing that they don't know, and then going 272 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: like a cool, they not my adversary. There's always an 273 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: unseen hand, you know, the money, like what people think 274 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: is money. 275 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I'm saying, It is money, yeah, right, 276 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 2: you know, so I and now it's so much bigger 277 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 2: than that. So the guns piece was a small piece, 278 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 2: and so I want to get to the bigger piece. 279 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 2: Obviously your shirt right there. Freedom above everything, I'm guessing 280 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 2: that's what that means. Freedom over every freedom over everything. 281 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 2: But but just sticking on the guns for a second. 282 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 2: I grew up in Texas. My grandfather was a big 283 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 2: hunter and my uncle was a hunter, and so I 284 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 2: grew up as a young kid shooting guns. Yeah. And 285 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 2: you know, I would hear even when I was a 286 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 2: kid that you know, we didn't have mass shootings back then, 287 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 2: we didn't have There was no such thing as school shootings. 288 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 2: And in Texas, like people drove to school guns in 289 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 2: their car. They took guns to school, right, and we 290 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 2: didn't have them. And that's a whole other conversation. But 291 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 2: I uh, but there were like accidental shootings. Yeah, And 292 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 2: so like kids would be curious and they'd go play 293 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 2: with their parents' guns and accidentally shoot themselves. And I 294 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 2: just thought that me growing up around them, there was 295 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 2: no curiosity. I knew exactly what they were. I was 296 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 2: trained to handle them properly. I was trained to respect 297 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 2: them probably, and so there's never any curiosity like, oh, 298 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 2: let me go check it out with let me and 299 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: I can remember specifically being at a friend's house and 300 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 2: they did want to pull the gun out, and I 301 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 2: was like new enough to be like not be around 302 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 2: right anyway. So I'm just curious to your point of 303 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 2: wanting to kind of bring that education, is it? Is 304 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 2: it maybe part of that? I mean, obviously guns are 305 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 2: a problem across, you know, everywhere, and now to the 306 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 2: point shootings are getting more and more. Do you think 307 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 2: if you educated more around that, then it sort of 308 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 2: again takes that curiosity away, teaches people to respect them more, 309 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 2: and things like that. 310 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: The education always beats to legislation all the time. In 311 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: the nineties, we had problems with teen pregnancy. Tupop Branda's 312 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: got a baby, right. They didn't go, hey, if we 313 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: catch you young kids having sex, we're gonna put you 314 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: in jail. 315 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 3: Legislators write it up. That's not what they did. 316 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 4: They were like, hey, we we have this sex education, 317 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 4: like actual education, not like this weird shit that's going 318 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 4: on right now. That's another job, right But they just said, hey, parents, 319 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 4: do you want to sign off on this and. 320 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 3: We'll teach you about the reproductive system? And da da 321 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 3: da da. 322 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: Da, And almost like within a couple of years, like 323 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: the teen pregnancy conversation didn't exist anymore. There was no legislation. 324 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: It was just we're going to inform people to your point. Yes, 325 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: as we continue to inform more people about the safe. 326 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: My daughter she's eight, she has a firearm in her 327 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: room in a safe that we. 328 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 3: Is my beep vaultech. 329 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: But the process of what this is and having firearms 330 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: and informing them to the thought process of demystifying this 331 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: firearm because now I want her brain to understand it 332 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: like a cell phone, it's the same. It's a tool. 333 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: And so the problem is there has been a concentrated 334 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: effort to make sure that demographics across America, even if 335 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,479 Speaker 1: it initially started in black communities, there is a concentrated 336 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: effort to make sure that most Americans look at firearms 337 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: as evil, look at them as this tool is going 338 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: to turn you into a mass shooter, and anyone that 339 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: owns utilizes is in support of the Second Amendment. Those 340 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: people are not patriots or red blooded Americans. Those people 341 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: are like the racists that absolutely need to be put 342 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: off the face of the planet. That what they're doing 343 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: is a good villain move. Like if I was a 344 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: super villain, I would do it too, because they know 345 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: how to educate through propaganda. We don't use the propaganda 346 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: that we have on the side of right and righteousness 347 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: and justice and constitutionality and human rights. We just don't 348 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: play the media game the way that the left does. 349 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: I mean they got good at it. Talk about Kobe Bryant. 350 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: They have to put the reps in because they don't 351 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: have substance, so they have to be I gotta consistently 352 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: lie to you, and I get better at lying to you. 353 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: So understand it that the key is to inform the 354 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: people not only about the safe and responsible firearms handling, 355 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: but also inform the people about this is the propaganda 356 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: machine and this is why they're trying to trick you, 357 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: you know. And that part is I'm a point guard 358 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 1: and I'm a translator. I can make very complicated things 359 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: seem very very simple, and there's still complex, but you 360 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: can explain them simply, and when we can effectively do that, 361 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: then we get some progress. As hands down, the reason 362 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: why we had so much successful Black Lives Matter, I 363 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: just was in those areas, explained it simply challenged their ideas, 364 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: respected them as humans, and said, yo, we're not enemies. 365 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 2: You know. Yeah, I'm curious your take on this, because again, 366 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 2: freedom over everything, and you think about the Second Amendment. 367 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 2: You talked about people not understanding what the Constitution was about, 368 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 2: et cetera. And then they're referencing they are the leaders 369 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 2: the left, whatever you call them, right, I guess that's 370 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 2: what you're referring to. 371 00:17:59,280 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 3: I see that. 372 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 2: Yes, I agree they're lying their gas lighting, et cetera. 373 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 2: And a lot of what they do is they change 374 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 2: definitions and they change definitions and so like we're actually 375 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 2: talking about two different things, but we think we're talking 376 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 2: about the same thing. And sometimes I feel like they 377 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 2: change the definitions because then they can win that argument. 378 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 2: And so back to the Second Amendment. Right now, you've 379 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 2: referenced so many times about being able to protect yourself, 380 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 2: protect yourself, protect yourself, and I feel that's one way 381 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 2: that they're trying to change the definition because they could 382 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 2: win that. So the second Amendment, I don't believe was 383 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 2: about self defense. It was about protecting against tearing. And 384 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 2: so they if they say, well, you don't, you don't need, 385 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,959 Speaker 2: you don't need, you don't need self defense if nobody 386 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 2: has guns, then you don't need to defend yourself and 387 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 2: the police have guns and the police will have your back, 388 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 2: you don't, And then they could win that argument. But 389 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 2: how do they win an argument that says no, we 390 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 2: need it for tiering. And so I'm curious your takes. 391 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: So both both arguments. So I get hit with both, 392 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: and I have an answer for each side when the 393 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: person because again my job is to try to change 394 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: their thought process a little bit. I can't, but I 395 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: can at least destroy your arguments with logic, So I 396 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: usually hit them with a socratic method when it goes there. 397 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: So if that person is more left leaning, and they 398 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: if I know that, they're like the entire system is racist, 399 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: and I go, okay, cool, I'm not going to argue 400 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: against you. I'll go cool, I just didn't know that 401 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: you were so pro government, And they'll go, well, I'm 402 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: not pro government, and I don't know. Well, you trust 403 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: the government to defend you, and you trust that the 404 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: government won't do the wrong thing. And they're like, no, 405 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: I don't believe that. I'm like, well yeah, and then 406 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: I start naming the names of the people that I 407 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: know you're in alignment with. 408 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 3: I don't. My job is to not make you argue. 409 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: Whether, let's say, George Floyd is right or wrong as 410 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: a human. I think he did shitty things part of 411 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: my language, but I'm not going to argue that point 412 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: to that person. I just go, well, man, you want 413 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: the same government that you say is fully racist that 414 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: choked George Floyd to death. You want them to be 415 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: the only people that has firearms. That's a lot of 416 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 1: trust in that g government. So I don't argue against them. 417 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,239 Speaker 1: I just make them think more things. Now, as as 418 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: far as it relates to tyranny, they'll they're very inconsistent, 419 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: whether intentionally or like being manipulative. So if they go, oh, 420 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: if you say. 421 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 3: Tyranny, they go, well, what do you mean the government 422 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 3: wouldn't do that? 423 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: And then I go, oh, but again, this system is 424 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: racist and everybody's racist, so would that be And I'm like, listen, 425 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: even if they happen to be black, Well, if the 426 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: system racist and he's black cop and he works for 427 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: the system, you a white dude, man, he might be 428 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: racist toward you. So wouldn't you want to have a 429 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: way of defending yourself against that type of tyranny. Every 430 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: argument that they have, if not met with ad aggression, 431 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: is met with like on some low key like redirection 432 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: and challenging to their thought process. 433 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 3: Those are the ways. 434 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: That I get that person to concede. And if they say, well, 435 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: if it's not about personal protection, it's about tyranny, I 436 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: go that way. If they say it's not about tyranny, 437 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: it's about personal protection, I go that way. The bottom 438 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: line is I have to let them see that they're 439 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: talking for the same government or the same system that 440 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: they would be in opposition to. And when I can 441 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: help them put that light bulb on by inception, then 442 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: they'll leave. Even if they don't agree with me in 443 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: the conversation. Right there, that inception's already that is, that 444 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: idea is in your brain. 445 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 3: It's going to keep growing, and so. 446 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: Both arguments is what they'll do to be intellectually intellectually 447 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: inconsistent you just have to have one already tied up 448 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:35,479 Speaker 1: and again reps. 449 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 3: I've done this a jillion times. So when they say, yo. 450 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: You know in the Constitution they didn't mean black people, 451 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: and I go, well, they didn't mention race at all 452 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: in the Constitution anywhere, and the declaration says the opposite. 453 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 3: Right, all right, So this is always always right. 454 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: But ninety percent of the time, and my lived anecdotal, 455 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 1: lived experience, it is very much so an issue of 456 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: education and application. If you meet me at the point 457 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: where I can inform you and educate you later on, 458 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: I don't need credit for it. 459 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 3: You're going to start applying it later. 460 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: Because something will happen and you'll I'll give you perfect example. 461 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: I'm a libertarian, but I clearly cannot vote for Joe Biden, 462 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: like duh, like, regardless of whatever. 463 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 2: Ideology wise or because he's a walking vegetable both. 464 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: Like how can you be the walking vegetable that also 465 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: has horrible ideology? Right, he's checking all the hell no boxes. 466 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 2: I just I'm like a man, like whatever. Twenty five 467 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 2: percent of people still think he should be running, and 468 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 2: I'm just like, you shouldn't be allowed to vote, not 469 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 2: because ideology you want communism cool, but like he's clearly 470 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 2: a vegetable, right, So. 471 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: I think that I'm critical of Trump in certain areas. Now, 472 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: I'm definitely not gonna pick Biden over Trump, just like 473 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: anything hotel, international travel, Like, it's nothing that I'm gonna 474 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: pick it more. But I'm critical of Trump and that 475 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: level of criticalness that person that I'm talking to that 476 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: may be hardcore Trump in that moment. My job is 477 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: not to highlight just for Trump because I'm so because 478 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: Biden's so bad. My job is to showcase which politicians 479 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: and public servants are firing on all cylinders or most 480 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: cylinders as it relates to the Constitution. So I just 481 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: stay in the objective space. So if when I'm critical 482 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: of Trump and I say, yo, he had that sentence, man, 483 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: I don't trust that sentence. You know, take the gun's 484 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 1: first due process later, I'm afraid of that sentence. Not 485 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: to challenge the person that may be identifying as a 486 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: Trump supporter or right of center, it's for me to go, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, 487 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 1: all of the politicians need to be held to the standard, 488 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: especially in a federal level, more specifically to this standard 489 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 1: of this Constitution, because our founders to this nation weren't 490 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: about like yeah red versus Blue, actually were like. 491 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 3: Yo, don't do party systems, you know. 492 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: And so that level of objectivity, just because I'm dunking 493 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: on the left because they've given us so much material 494 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: all of the time, doesn't mean that we don't keep 495 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: that same energy because this is about the people. It's 496 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: not about allowed media or very very powerful people. Oh 497 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 1: you need a hero, Oh, we'll supply him for you. 498 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: And it may not be in alignment with what you 499 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: think it is, but he just looks like the lesser 500 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 1: of two evils. And again I'm not advocating that Trump 501 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: is that. I'm just saying our job, our highest alignment 502 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: is to that truth and the Constitution, in my humble opinion, 503 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: maybe up against the forty two laws of my aunt, 504 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: but the Constitution is a document that I'm just like 505 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: that system of checks and balances. It pun intended, it 506 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: really checks out, you know, And so getting people to 507 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: inform that way as opposed to letting them box you. 508 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: You know, if I talk about the racist history of 509 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: gun control, because I said, the word racist is going 510 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: to be oh, he must be a leftist, right and 511 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,360 Speaker 1: then when I go, now, that's not what Trump said. 512 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 1: He didn't say it's fine people on both sides, and 513 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 1: that was it. Like our job is to be almost 514 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: like our men and women are on their own islands, 515 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: and the island is freedom in the constitution.

I mean I 581 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: was I was younger, but like your environment is like 582 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 1: a major catalyst, maybe even the most dominant catalyst for 583 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: your stuff, other than maybe your habits. Right, But like that, 584 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,959 Speaker 1: those things and those principles and those types of dudes, 585 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: I don't think they come around very often when they're 586 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: at that level of public awareness. 587 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 3: And like, you know, and huge outs to him. 588 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: He's obviously had a devastating lass love and light to 589 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: his his family, but. 590 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 3: I just that that he's here even after that. 591 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: These are the things that like I honor as like 592 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: solid dudes. Right, and he's never Also he's a genius 593 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: by the way, you know, so. 594 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 2: Right, you know, going back to something you said earlier, 595 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 2: you said something about being an example for others. Yeah, 596 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 2: so you know you talked about starting with a small piece, 597 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 2: the gun piece, but now it's grown into a bigger thing. Solutionary. 598 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 2: I love that, right, Let's focus on solutions not problems. 599 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 2: It doesn't do a lot of good to continually rehash 600 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 2: the past, right, Like, let's build towards solutions or whatever. 601 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 2: But anyway, going back to this, like be an example 602 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 2: for others, Yeah, and that sort of you know, put 603 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 2: the mask on yourself before you help your neighbor kind 604 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 2: of thing, right, But I think it's also you know 605 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 2: where you know, someone asked me a while ago, like 606 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 2: how do you know you're on the right side? And 607 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 2: I had to think about that one for a while, 608 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 2: and I said, because I believe in like live and 609 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 2: let live like you go do you? But they want 610 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 2: to tell me what to do, right, And that's the problem. 611 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 2: So going back to that, right, they want the power 612 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 2: over you, and you want to be an example for this. 613 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 2: So it's like more influence, yeah, not power. 614 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not interested. This is around Paulline.

I just want to influence people for the 629 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: formulas and the blueprints that work. Like you know, I 630 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: just finished reading Dallio's book again Principles, And Okay, this 631 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: makes sense because I remember selling this.

I don't think that the general public would 642 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: not implement those things if they weren't like consistently being 643 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: told to just eat the sugary stuff, to just like 644 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: don't learn anything, Like the scab will heal if you 645 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: stop picking at it. There are entities, and I'm leaning 646 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: more towards that this may be more even spiritual, because 647 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: I don't know a better word for it. There are 648 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: entities that are one hundred percent going to try to 649 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: make you keep picking at the scab as opposed to 650 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: let's just leave them alone and they heal.

But that influences us. It motivates us 686 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 2: if you will, to like go do that. We saw 687 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 2: the work he put in and the results he had, 688 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 2: and you're like, well, I guess I could work harder 689 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 2: and better results. I'm curious. Two different things we'll talk about. 690 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 2: We can addressing one at time. But we have a 691 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 2: massive increase in crime across the country, and that's in 692 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 2: California with theft under one thousand dollars all the way 693 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 2: to you know, shootings, right, so all kinds of crime 694 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 2: at the same time, we have a rise, like a 695 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 2: rapid seems like increasing crime happening in the United States. 696 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,760 Speaker 2: Down in El Salvador, they went from the most dangerous 697 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 2: nation in the world to the safest nation in the world. 698 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 2: So we're seeing like maybe you know, the rule of law, 699 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 2: like the United States, this foundation of freedom, becoming the 700 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 2: most dangerous place, and then we have the most dangerous 701 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 2: place become in the most safest place. I'm curious your 702 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:26,760 Speaker 2: thoughts on that. 703 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: The money, the changes in like culture, the money, the propaganda. 704 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: If I can tie all of that into money, and 705 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,879 Speaker 1: I can tie all of that into culture. Now what's 706 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: happening is I am of the belief and I have 707 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,320 Speaker 1: no proof of this is just the vibe and watching things. 708 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:55,439 Speaker 1: It's too well timed in this in all of those 709 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: different areas of lanes at the same time for it 710 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: to be accidental. The sun is going to rise at 711 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: the same time depending on where you're on Earth. That's 712 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: a highly organized phenomenon When it's this much right there. 713 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 1: I know that government generally becomes really stupid. But it's 714 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: almost you guys are really bad at the same time 715 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,359 Speaker 1: for me to not think that there's evil a few 716 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:24,320 Speaker 1: evil geniuses somewhere. So in America it's the we didn't 717 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: inform people. Also, we're a republic that damn there, we're 718 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: empire at this point, and your empire a couple of 719 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 1: years left type energy right. 720 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 3: Two in fifty years, it's almost up. 721 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: And so all of these these cycles. So the cycles 722 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: along with the lack of information and the lack of application. 723 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: The information is there. The information is there. We had 724 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 1: we know through dynastic periods and empires. Hey, empires usually 725 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: fall when they do this list of things. And if 726 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: you do this list of things, it's like the workout 727 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: in reverse. And so seeing all of that, and then 728 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: countries that have been through that ugly portion of the 729 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 1: cycle and they are kind of like, well, we can't 730 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,720 Speaker 1: do that. We already printed everything, all of the bread, 731 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,439 Speaker 1: like we've already did all of this same thing, Like Argentina, Hey, guys, 732 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,319 Speaker 1: we've got to try something else. Yeah, well, maybe this 733 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: bitcoin thing might not be so bad. And then okay, 734 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: then you gotta got us like we got a slash government. 735 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 3: We got an alfuerta. It's gone, you know what I'm saying. 736 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, And so we need those people here in America, 737 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: with this solid constitutional republic that we have, we need 738 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: those people to say no, I'm getting rid of this. 739 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 1: This is a waste of time. It's like we just 740 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 1: don't want to do a like an audit, like our 741 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: own audit of like, Yo, this is bad policy, and 742 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 1: it just translates in every lane. Education, bad policy, culture, 743 00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 1: bad policy, what a great foundation money, bad post policy. 744 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,800 Speaker 3: And so when you do all of those things. 745 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 1: My Jewish homie, I'm thinking about converting, right, I've been 746 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 1: talking about it for a while. My Jewish homie is like, 747 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, what do you think is the thing? 748 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: The reason why? Economically and culturally? Oh, we don't separate. 749 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: We don't our economics, our culture, and the politics are 750 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 1: all the same. And I'm like, wow. So now when 751 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: I look at that and I go, man, if they're 752 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:27,439 Speaker 1: doing something and they're showing success in this that Big Three, 753 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: and then I look at what's happening in the rest. 754 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 1: You know, in America, you guys are doing the exact opposite. 755 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 3: In the Big Three. 756 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: It's it's almost I don't know the answer. 757 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 3: Of the word, but it has to be spiritual. 758 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,879 Speaker 1: I don't know another word that it can incompetence could 759 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: not be this exact At the same time, I believe 760 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 1: it is. 761 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 2: I believe it's spiritual. It has to be. I mean, 762 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 2: I think, and I think culturally people are waking up 763 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 2: to this because you can see there's evil, yeah, like 764 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 2: you can see it. What's happening to the kids, right, 765 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 2: I mean it's evil, right, And if there's evil, then 766 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 2: there has to be good, So then it has to 767 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,399 Speaker 2: be spiritual, right. And I think before maybe it wasn't 768 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,520 Speaker 2: as bad, So maybe there wasn't evil. Some people are 769 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 2: just bad, but now it seems a lot more apparent. 770 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 2: But going back to going back to the Jewish thing 771 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 2: for a minute, right, Like in the Bible, and Jesus 772 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 2: used money as one of his lessons, like more than 773 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 2: any other thing you talked about, right, So the money 774 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:27,879 Speaker 2: is a big piece of it. And then and then 775 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 2: there's living by a moral code, right, and whether that's 776 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 2: Mormon or Jewish or Christian or whatever it is, but 777 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 2: at least there's like some moral code that people get behind. 778 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 2: And you mentioned earlier, like I can tell you what 779 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 2: to live or we can lead by example kind of thing, 780 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 2: And so it's like, you can't really legislate morality, and 781 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 2: so like I can basically put you in a box 782 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 2: so you can't hurt anybody else, but I can't really 783 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 2: legislate it. And so I guess and I didn't think this, 784 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,759 Speaker 2: but tying it back to the original question, which was, 785 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,319 Speaker 2: we see the rise of crime happen everywhere, but then 786 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 2: El Salvador is lowered down crime, and so you know, 787 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 2: incentives if they well, I guess if we removed it's 788 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,760 Speaker 2: no longer criminal to steal up to one thousand dollars, 789 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 2: then people probably steal up to a thousand dollars. 790 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 3: Right, It's like, wait, are you at nine hundred and 791 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 3: ninety eight? 792 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 2: Bro? 793 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 1: All right? We good? How many times can I go back? Right? Right? 794 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:20,959 Speaker 3: Right? 795 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 2: So then there's incentesists. But at the same time, what 796 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 2: makes all these people want to go wild out just 797 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,879 Speaker 2: because they can? So then you have kind of both 798 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 2: and there's the morality and the legislation piece to it. 799 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,320 Speaker 1: I just think that if people kind of like legislatively 800 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: the constitution is solid, bro, Morally, you can't have the 801 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: freedom without the response right, and that moral component of 802 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 1: going like like I'm a fan of ostracizing people for 803 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 1: doing morally repugnant stuff. I am a fan of it. 804 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: Matter of fact, I'm going to shame you. I'm going 805 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: to be like, yo, you're a clown. 806 00:39:58,480 --> 00:39:59,240 Speaker 3: If you're a law. 807 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: Enforcement officer and you're not upholding your oath to the constitution, 808 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,319 Speaker 1: that's clown vibes bro. I want to And equally, when 809 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 1: there's a law enforcement office, a homicide detective is like 810 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 1: I found out who killed your child, I want to 811 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 1: champion that person. The moral code is being eroded by 812 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:25,240 Speaker 1: massive media campaigns, and we with dwindling financial strength and 813 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,399 Speaker 1: all of these other different things are not then going, hey, 814 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 1: we gotta double down on stepping the morality game up. 815 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 1: We gotta the reason why it's connected as the person 816 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 1: maybe not government issued, but the reason why it's connected 817 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: is because there's a form of discipline. Religion like means 818 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 1: to retie to I have to retie myself to these 819 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 1: disciplines because this will make me a better person. So 820 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 1: for example, if I go, I am not gonna be 821 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,240 Speaker 1: a glutton. I'm not gonna overeat, So now my body 822 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 1: is healthier, which means I'm taking care of this temple 823 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: for longer, this amazing gift that I got from God, 824 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,760 Speaker 1: and I'm here to inform my family for longer. Now 825 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:10,240 Speaker 1: that discipline translates into hey man, don't overspend, don't. 826 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,280 Speaker 2: Do it, just don't self control, self control. 827 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,759 Speaker 1: These are all tied into moral disciplines, you know. And 828 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 1: then when you're talking about the constitution, Yo, we got 829 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,319 Speaker 1: to have a system of checks and balances. I get it. All. 830 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 1: Ten of y'all want to do this thing and I 831 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 1: want to do this. You guys, don't just get to 832 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 1: mob rule over me and call it democracy. Because I 833 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 1: just want to do this and y'all want to do that. 834 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 1: We have to have that system of checks and balances 835 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,760 Speaker 1: where that individual's right is respected, which is a form 836 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 1: of discipline. 837 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 3: Nah, we don't just get the state. We ain't a monarchy. 838 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,359 Speaker 1: Saying all of this to say the general public is 839 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 1: not being bred into disciplines. 840 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 3: Trades skills, These are disciplines. 841 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 1: This is the difference between a Kobe Bryant and a 842 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 1: Kwame Brown. And I'm not saying that the disc Kwame Brown. 843 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 1: Kwame Brown was on a team with Michael Jordan and 844 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:07,359 Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant. He's not a legend, and so you have 845 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 1: to make these individual choices and decisions to say, I 846 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: want to improve my community by again being that example. 847 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 1: But I'm exercising so much discipline. Yo, MIA's what you're doing? 848 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: Or it's one o'clock, I have to take a twenty 849 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,920 Speaker 1: minute and that why because I wake up at three thirty. 850 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 3: Yo, MAI's just four thirty. What are you doing? 851 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,920 Speaker 1: I am getting ready to go back and get my 852 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: baby ready for tennis camp. 853 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 3: Why is that? 854 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 2: Areas too? 855 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 3: Huh? 856 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:32,280 Speaker 2: Yours too? Right? 857 00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:34,960 Speaker 1: See what I'm saying, And it's like, yo, and she's 858 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 1: when they're in it, you like they're passionate about it 859 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 1: because it's fun. But there's so many lessons that you 860 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,319 Speaker 1: see for them in that And that's important for me 861 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: to make sure because now she has she gets to 862 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: live that example. 863 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 3: So because she ain't gonna be in a gym with 864 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 3: me like doing dead lifts. 865 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:53,360 Speaker 1: The point being is we have failed to recognize the 866 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,920 Speaker 1: importance of all of these things being interconnected. When we 867 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 1: talked earlier about that plank scale, it's the same stuff 868 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:04,399 Speaker 1: at the on a level. So this discipline, this thing 869 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 1: when it bubbles up into the physical world. It's then 870 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,879 Speaker 1: going to be held to a standard of you know, 871 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,799 Speaker 1: immutable physical laws. But you get that from good solid foundations. 872 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:18,360 Speaker 1: We aren't explaining it properly. If we're not explaining it properly, 873 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,920 Speaker 1: and somebody those entities are deliberately trying to make the 874 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 1: tower of babble, so we don't communicate well with each other, 875 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,600 Speaker 1: then nobody can apply it. You know, what's in't that? 876 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 3: You know who talked to bookbook was that Outwitting the Devil. 877 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 1: By Napoleon Hill. He kind of talked that Interview with 878 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,799 Speaker 1: the Devil, and that book talks about that, like, yo, 879 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 1: all you got to do is not drift, stay focused 880 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,879 Speaker 1: and stay on the task. But if we don't even 881 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,319 Speaker 1: know that drifting exists, because somebody is saying, like, no, 882 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,800 Speaker 1: just drift, go ahead, this is life right as somehow 883 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:55,440 Speaker 1: discipline is contrary to freedom. I've experienced that most of 884 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 1: the people that don't have no discipline don't never have 885 00:43:58,239 --> 00:43:58,720 Speaker 1: no freedom. 886 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,960 Speaker 2: Freedom comes from the discipline, yeah, you know, yeah, the 887 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 2: freedom comes from discipe. Most people don't understand that. There 888 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,359 Speaker 2: was a book written called the e Myth Entrepreneurial Myth 889 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 2: and people think, oh, I'm going to quit my job 890 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 2: and start my own business so I can be free, 891 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 2: but then they end up being more of a slave, right, 892 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,280 Speaker 2: And you have to set the systems and the discipline 893 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 2: and have that freedom. But last topic is you mentioned 894 00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 2: that you know, there's a lot of these disciplines that 895 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 2: have to kind of come together money, maybe spirituality, things 896 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 2: like that, and so going back to the money for 897 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 2: a minute, and you mentioned that maybe the difference between 898 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,360 Speaker 2: the US and El Salvador is the money as well. 899 00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:38,799 Speaker 2: And so you know, when I think about the freedom movement, 900 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,560 Speaker 2: the libertarian movement, things like that, right, Like, well, I 901 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 2: hope that we can get a better leader, and I 902 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,759 Speaker 2: hope that they won't go against the Constitution, and there's 903 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,040 Speaker 2: all these like things that are hoped. But you mentioned 904 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:52,720 Speaker 2: right now you mentioned immutable, right, and so we have bitcoin, 905 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,240 Speaker 2: and bitcoin is this immutable technology that no one can control, 906 00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,520 Speaker 2: and maybe it's a way to limit their power by 907 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 2: giving they're taking away their unlimitted check boocket as well, right, 908 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:07,680 Speaker 2: So never any wars, lockdowns or whatever that whatever that is, 909 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,480 Speaker 2: I'm curious your take on bitcoin. 910 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,280 Speaker 1: My community center in Philadelphia has a bitcoin atum machine 911 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:14,160 Speaker 1: and I'm in the hood. 912 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, because I'm like, bro, y'all. 913 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 1: Got to the people that come to the shop and 914 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,760 Speaker 1: they want to get a T shirt or something, I'm like, hey, 915 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:21,839 Speaker 1: you know you get ten. 916 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 3: Percent off if you buy it in bitcoin? 917 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:23,239 Speaker 1: Oh? 918 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 2: Really you do? 919 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,359 Speaker 1: And then they'll go, well what is I don't understand it? 920 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 1: And I make them download a simple wallet, like super 921 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,600 Speaker 1: basic wallet.

Boom boom boom. Now when 927 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 1: they have other things, or they want to take a 928 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:44,919 Speaker 1: class or they want to get some training, I'm like, yo, 929 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:49,000 Speaker 1: pay for it in bitcoin. Then knowing that they should 930 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 1: hold bitcoin and they don't really know it yet. After 931 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,600 Speaker 1: a while, that other light bulb kicks and they go, bro, 932 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,440 Speaker 1: why am I paying you in bitcoin? Bro? And then 933 00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 1: they start to become more disciplined with their spend. 934 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 2: Why do you want to right? 935 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,719 Speaker 3: So I like set up for that because. 936 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 1: I don't I'm not a I'm not you know how 937 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,840 Speaker 1: people say they're like a crypto whale. I'm not a whale, 938 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,800 Speaker 1: and I actually don't have a tremendous amount of knowledge 939 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:20,480 Speaker 1: around the subject. I can simplify things though, when I 940 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:25,320 Speaker 1: go every single time somebody took power from a super 941 00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 1: powerful thing. 942 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:33,640 Speaker 3: Agency, whatever. To me, banking cartels are very, very powerful. 943 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,759 Speaker 1: So if somebody starts taking power away from them, and 944 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,560 Speaker 1: I just look and juxtapose it. I remember when Napster 945 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 1: came out and everybody was like the people were like, oh, 946 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:49,360 Speaker 1: this is awesome, right this the music spreads, the artist 947 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,319 Speaker 1: gets more concerts because people are like, oh that song 948 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 1: by that dude because. 949 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 3: We're sharing or whatever. 950 00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 1: Then I remember how the recording industry was like, we 951 00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:00,439 Speaker 1: are going to destroy you Sean Fanning. 952 00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, they hated it right then. 953 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,280 Speaker 1: I remember it with Pirate Bay with DVDs I sold DVDs. 954 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 1: I remember them going after those dudes. Those dudes were 955 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,200 Speaker 1: like in Sweden and the United States was like, yeah, 956 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:13,200 Speaker 1: we're still gonna come holl at. 957 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. 958 00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,200 Speaker 1: My point in saying that is, if bitcoin, being that 959 00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:21,920 Speaker 1: transference between I can create store and transfer that wealth 960 00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:27,040 Speaker 1: person to person without these other entities, I start to go, hmm, 961 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:28,640 Speaker 1: maybe the hood should get. 962 00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 3: A jump on that. 963 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,800 Speaker 1: Ye Because we I mean traditionally again, and when I 964 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,160 Speaker 1: say hood, I don't just mean black communities. If you 965 00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,319 Speaker 1: do not live in a really really nice neighborhood, you 966 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,520 Speaker 1: probably live in a hood, suburban, rural. 967 00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:40,320 Speaker 3: Urban, whatever. 968 00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:49,439 Speaker 1: That sound. Monetary supply can be the revolution. That's not bloody, right, 969 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And so from my mind, 970 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, Yo, the hood definitely need to get on this. 971 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,960 Speaker 1: And so I'll just inform people that way by just 972 00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 1: getting the machine, putting it there and people go, yo, 973 00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:04,359 Speaker 1: what's this. I want to practice inception and influence, and 974 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 1: then the information is there, and then I know that 975 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna run into a different question for me later. 976 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:11,359 Speaker 1: If we're in a gym. It's the same thing. If 977 00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,359 Speaker 1: we're in a gym, you're gonna say, Yo, why don't 978 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,640 Speaker 1: my arms hurt? Or why don't my legs hurt? Two 979 00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,600 Speaker 1: days after we did legs? Oh, here's why? And what 980 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,680 Speaker 1: should I potassium? I got you some coconut with it? 981 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:28,160 Speaker 1: You know. So this may be and I'm not saying 982 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,799 Speaker 1: this to like hype it up, bro, like you already know, 983 00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:36,560 Speaker 1: but the viewers may need to rehear this. Bitcoin may 984 00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 1: single handedly be the thing that saves this republics as 985 00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 1: like grandiose as that sounds, and when you watch the 986 00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:51,359 Speaker 1: powers that be that are doing the media propaganda on it, 987 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, y'all are really really intimidated by that. 988 00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 1: I wonder why, for the same reason why somebody else 989 00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,800 Speaker 1: will go why you want the biitcoin? 990 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,279 Speaker 3: Well, why I can't. What are you going to? 991 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 1: Man bro? Every time I do this and then those 992 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,960 Speaker 1: lessons come, and so I think that, oh, I hope 993 00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:13,240 Speaker 1: that we don't all the way crash out, because again 994 00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,760 Speaker 1: I am a high school dropout. I have a ged 995 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:24,480 Speaker 1: but I kind of nominally understand things I don't. I 996 00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:28,279 Speaker 1: don't know how bad it would be if, at the 997 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,959 Speaker 1: same time, the most powerful nation in the world, maybe 998 00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:37,640 Speaker 1: in world history, the reserve money that falls during a 999 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:41,640 Speaker 1: time when that entire nation is going through a cultural, economic, 1000 00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:46,719 Speaker 1: and social upheaval or degradation. I am afraid, and I 1001 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 1: choose my words very carefully of the international impact of 1002 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:57,640 Speaker 1: that on war on you know, I'm afraid for that. 1003 00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,920 Speaker 1: So I think that more and more people being involved 1004 00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:04,680 Speaker 1: bitcoin and sound monetary choices or not monetary in that sense, 1005 00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:09,200 Speaker 1: but like not FIAT. But I'm just I'm hopeful that 1006 00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:10,799 Speaker 1: more people will get in, so I'm willing to do 1007 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,799 Speaker 1: my part to inform the people that are traditionally not 1008 00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:19,720 Speaker 1: involved in that conversation, as well as respecting the fear 1009 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,319 Speaker 1: when that and gut feelings start kicking up and go 1010 00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,080 Speaker 1: all like, bro, we got to kind of do something 1011 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:28,320 Speaker 1: about this, because there's never been a time where like this, 1012 00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 1: this goes good with what we're doing, and maybe we're 1013 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:36,239 Speaker 1: the exception possibly, but historic history doesn't say that we 1014 00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:40,640 Speaker 1: get through that smooth, right, you know, so maybe bitcoin will. 1015 00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:41,640 Speaker 3: Be the bloodless revolution. 1016 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,120 Speaker 2: I love it. I love it. Cool, well, wrap it 1017 00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:48,880 Speaker 2: up with that good stuff. A lot of good takeaways 1018 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,239 Speaker 2: from this, but the one I would say probably is 1019 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:56,040 Speaker 2: just you know, live it, be the influence, be the change, 1020 00:50:56,160 --> 00:51:00,360 Speaker 2: and not by telling people to do, by demonstrating it 1021 00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 2: right and empowering people to focus on solutions, solutionary rather 1022 00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:07,399 Speaker 2: than problems. Cool. 1023 00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:11,640 Speaker 3: All right, all right, appreciate you for sure, Y,
