1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Up next, The Truth with Lisa both part of the

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: game which President Trump taught the Republican Party how to

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 1: fight back. That lesson is crucial today as conservatives try

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: to save America from the creeping nature of communism and

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: a socialism in the country. But make no mistake, we're

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: in the fight for the future of the country. So

7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: who better to talk to than an actual fighter who

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: recognizes what's actually at stake. This is The Truth with

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: Lisa Booth. Yeah, yeah, I'm really excited for this next guest.

Speaker 1: You may well you know him from the UFC, and

11
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: you also might remember the fact that you know he

12
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: really went to bat for President Trump during the election

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: rather uh horem as vital. Thanks so much for joining

15
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: much for having me. So, you know, you're one of

16
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: the top UFC fighters, number five in the wealth or weight.

17
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: How did you get into fighting? I started since young,

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: and it was like the only thing that captivated my

19
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: mind and attention span. I didn't care much for anything else,

20
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: you know, literally since and this was a fatal attraction.

21
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: Since young, you know, I would just watch film for

22
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: movies all day on Saturdays with my father and just

23
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: be attracted to combat sports, whether it was wrestling or boxing.

24
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: It just captivated my mind every time, and more of

25
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: a person to a door than a watcher. So I

26
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: saw enough of these films and I was like, man,

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm a come frough star as well. And then I

28
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: just started training and training led to competing eventually, and

29
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm doing what I love to do for a career.

30
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: I love it. Was there anyone that you looked up

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: to and fighting, whether it's boxing or anything else. Numerous

32
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: Latin boxers that there were up and coming around times stuff,

33
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: a lot of great American boxers as well. Um, boxing

34
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: was definitely a lot of those guys that looked at

35
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: who And then the UC came to be and then

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: I was like wow, inspired by the UC. Not the

37
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: wrestlers too that that I liked a lot growing up.

38
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: Um hell yeah. I mean just combat sports in general

39
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: influenced me personally. Have a little bit experience with it

40
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: because my older brother used to practice wrestling moves not

41
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: not quite the same, but you know he would like

42
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: watch w W and then jump off the couch and

43
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: clothesline mace. Yeah you know the feeding Yeah exactly. So

44
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, your dad left Cuba to come to America.

45
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: What's his story? He left that fourteen years old. Him,

46
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: his best friend at the time, and his best friend's

47
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: uncle got Uh. They found entire tractors and out of

48
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: that they made these makeshift wraps with the inner tukings,

49
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: and you know, eventually they hit the sea. There were

50
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: at sea for like six days. They didn't get to America,

51
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: but they got to the Bahamas and from there they

52
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: got extradited or the virgin isis I might be getting

53
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: wrong now? Um? And Uh, that's it. His life in

54
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: America starts, you know, he gets sent off to some

55
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: government housing and and that's it. He's on his own,

56
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, basically since like fourteen fifteen. You know, how

57
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: did that impact you growing up knowing that, you know,

58
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: kind of hearing his story from Cuba, knowing that he

59
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: fled there. Well, my dad is just one of them. Um.

60
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: He had like five six brothers, uh, sister and then

61
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: niece's nephews cousins. So I'm I'm knowing on them. I'm

62
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: hearing all their life experiences. And my dad got locked

63
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: up when I was around four years old and he

64
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: didn't get released. I was twenty two. So how I

65
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: grew up with him was, um the institution. You know,

66
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: I had to go visit him and have phone calls

67
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: and uh, and I would still he would always still

68
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: share all his all his knowledge that he knew about

69
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: the corrupt system of Cuba and others like it. What

70
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: did he tell you about Cuba and why he fled?

71
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: When I was young, it'd just be like things like

72
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: don't give up your freedom. And it would be like

73
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: a lot of little jokes, you know, um in the beginning,

74
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: like oh, you're luck you're not in a cube because

75
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: you couldn't even choose your favorite color. And then as

76
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: you start to get a little older, you inquired more like, hey,

77
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: what do you mean are you sharious about what's going on?

78
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: And then they would tell me how they take people's

79
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: freedoms away, How they a strategy that we see nowadays,

80
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: especially more than ever in America, is how they pin

81
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: everybody against everybody. They wanted the farmers to hate the

82
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: people in the city. They wanted the people in the

83
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: city to hate the farmers, and then everybody to just hate.

84
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: They're ready the rich to hate the polling, the porty

85
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: hate the rich. With that confusion that dividing conquer the

86
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: government can make their their moves a little bit smooth.

87
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: You know, oh, I totally understand. You know, so you

88
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: kind of talked about your your dad, you know, he

89
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: went to prison for a little bit. I know that

90
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: you you sold beads at seven to help your mom

91
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: make ends meet. You know, you slept in the car

92
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: for a period of time. There seems to be the

93
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: sentiment in America right now, particularly young people, that they

94
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: just deserve things, that you know, everything should be handed

95
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: to them. Clear really, you've had to work very hard

96
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: to get to where you are. What would you say

97
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: to those people who just think that things should be

98
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: easy or that they should just have things handed to them.

99
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: I think they should keep waiting with their hands out,

100
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, just don't expect nobody to give it. So

101
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: you don't expect, like raise the taxes on me for

102
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: you to get, you know, some stimulus check for you

103
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: to buy a Christmas President. I don't feel like that,

104
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: Like I won't put my burdens, my work on the

105
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: next man or woman, you know, I'll go get it

106
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: on my own. If not, then I don't deserve it.

107
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: I think those you know, I should have been saying

108
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: this because the crucial flaminar and other things. But I

109
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: think that the system in play right now is is

110
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: allowing that behavior, that type of psychology, though, to blossom

111
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: more and more and more, just like how they did

112
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: in Cuba, where they're indoctrinating our children not to just

113
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, if you start at the iPad all day,

114
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: you should be rewarded for some reason or something like that,

115
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I don't know, but I think

116
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: we're seeing it all across the board more and more,

117
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: how they're indoctrinating our children to to believe in the system,

118
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: to rely on the government. The Government's going to do

119
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: everything for you. You don't have to do anything, blah

120
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Is that why you got involved? Because

121
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: I know you got involved. You set on the panel

122
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: for Latinos for Trump, you spoke at the rally for

123
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: Fighters against Social Socialism? You know why did why did

124
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: you want to get involved and try to help President Trump?

125
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: For starters, I love the Constitution of the United States

126
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: of America. I think it is some beautiful literature. I

127
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,559
Speaker 1: think the founding fathers that wrote it was so ahead

128
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: of their time. They also knew the lifestyle that they

129
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: were living in, the tyrannage they were under, so they

130
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: were trying to prepare us and keep us safe from

131
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: that not ever happening. So I think the Constitution is

132
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: that one or more beautiful things ever, So any president

133
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: that upholds it to its core, to the to everything

134
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: that it is, because obviously it's not broken with the

135
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: greatest country in the world, why try to fix it?

136
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: All these politicians they want to destroy them. The bill

137
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: is just it's nuts to me, you know. So I

138
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: think President Trump ab up resident as I've seen, he's

139
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: upheld it the most. He's a real American patriot. He's

140
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: out looking for America first. Constant in his business tactics

141
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: and his foreign policies and everything, he's looking out for

142
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: USA first. When you do that, then we can start

143
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: fixing on at the policies we have. I don't think

144
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: we can fix it all the problems overnight, you know. So,

145
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: I just I'm a huge Trump fan supporter. When you

146
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: talked about how your dad was telling you about, you know,

147
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: Communist Cuba, about sort of that class warfare of trying

148
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: to pit people against each other. Right now, we're seeing

149
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: so much division, you know, racially in this country. You've

150
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: got like a lot of politicians and the media really

151
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: trying to drive you know, those racial tensions like why

152
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: do you why do you think that's happening? And and

153
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts? And all that divide and conquer

154
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: a million percent, you know, Latin people against laying people,

155
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: Black people against black people, white people against everybody, and

156
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: and Asian people. You know, once once you start that discord,

157
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: it's it's so much easier for the government to come

158
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: in and do their bidding while we're fighting with each other,

159
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: you know, whether it be through the back door or

160
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: right in front of our face. You know, we're too

161
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: occupied with with things like that. When we really need

162
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: to do is unite and stand up to to those

163
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: bad situations and those bad men, you know, before they

164
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: keep taking our freedoms away and stuff. I mean, especially

165
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Help people don't get alarmed, Like

166
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna get that double tax now right. So now,

167
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: if let's say you made a million dollars for the

168
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: round of for the sake of a round number, and

169
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: then after you pay taxes, you keep six hundred thousand dollars.

170
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: Then after that you go invest that money, you're gonna

171
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: get taxed on that money again, Like that, that's not right.

172
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 1: You know, we we've been doing things a certain way

173
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: for a long time to help people become rich so

174
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: they could give more to the economy, make other people millionaires.

175
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: Like it's just the way it works. And now they're

176
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: they're doing this, it's just shady. It's like they want

177
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: us to rely on them the whole time. And that's

178
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: that's a recipe for a bad formula, when you rely

179
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: on the government. Well, that's also gonna be frustrating for

180
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: you because is you know, as as you know we're

181
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: talking about earlier. I mean you've really you've worked for

182
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: everything that you've had, Like nothing was handed to you.

183
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: You know, you you had, you know, a tough upbringing, right,

184
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: but you made it happen. You worked really hard to

185
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: now become you know, number five in the nation for

186
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: welter weight, to become this huge success story. So it's

187
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: got to be frustrating to see that. And you know,

188
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: basically see you know, the government trying to take and

189
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: take it's it's when it's crazing. I mean, you know,

190
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: when I was working at like fast food jobs or

191
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: something like that, and I probably wouldn't mind it as much.

192
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, now now when you get further,

193
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: you figure out the system more, you put more hours

194
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: into your craft, and you finally making the government's gonna

195
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: come double and triple tax. It's it's not more with

196
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: or hee m as vital after the break when it

197
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: takes a while in your industry to sort of you know,

198
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: get to the top. Right, and you said that you

199
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: were working fast food, You know what kind of jobs

200
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: did you have? What was that like, like hustle of

201
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: trying to get to the top. Well, when when you're

202
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: first like fighting, now, now when I first started, it's

203
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: a lot different than what it is now. There's more money,

204
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: more sponsors, more competitors, so you could, um you could

205
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: be a lot more active fighting. When I was coming up,

206
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: it was it was starting to get popular, so there

207
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: wasn't this big money behind it or all these um

208
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: TV network behind it. So basically you live at the

209
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: gym as much as you can because you got the

210
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: same shape and and you're taking a lot of short

211
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: notice fights. What I mean by that, once you get

212
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: to the UFC, you you have time to prepare to

213
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: tell you, hey, can you go in eight weeks and

214
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: you have an eight week training camp or something like this,

215
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: But at least you're gonna get a decent notice of

216
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: six weeks or ten weeks for for each fight. When

217
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: you're kind in the freelance, you might take a fight

218
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: in two weeks. You might take no fights for a

219
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: long time because it just is no fights, you know,

220
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: So you just constantly like, at least me at the time,

221
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: I'm just taking whatever comes my way to make ends meet,

222
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: put some money on the table. And uh, it's not

223
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: easy a lot of times because you you have to

224
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: go to the gym the morning or at some point

225
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: you have to have a nice, good gym session where

226
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna push yourself to an exhaustion. You're gonna be tired,

227
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: you're hanna want to do anything but eat and take

228
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: a nap after, and then you're gonna have to do

229
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 1: that session again at night or something like that. You know,

230
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to do your technique or some type

231
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: of strategy. It's it's usually twice a day that we go.

232
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: Some people go a little bit more, some people go

233
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: a little bit less. But in between those sessions, you

234
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: still gotta make income because you're not You're not you're

235
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: making like ten thousand dollars a year. Is a fighter

236
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: when you're first coming up, like you know, you're making

237
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: undreds of show fifteen hundreds to win, that's three dollars.

238
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: If you went out three fights, maybe you made nine

239
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: ten dollars for the whole year. You know, not, it's

240
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: not like a very Saturday. It gives you a lot

241
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: of options. You gotta learn a hustle. You gotta learn

242
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: to work, whether you're having a part time job, and

243
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: then two training sessions a day, and then after that

244
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: you're teaching classes, teaching individuals for like very very cheap

245
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: how to neither better themselves and health or in fighting.

246
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: And you know, I used to charge like I don't

247
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: like fifteen an hour an hour for a private lesson,

248
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: just to make ends meet and put some money on

249
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: the table. So now when you there was a period

250
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: when you're sleeping in your car, was that when you

251
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: were trying to train and and sort of you know,

252
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: get your your feet in the industry. That was at

253
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: all phases you know, um, I mean it was like

254
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: budget cuts, you know, like I said, the first like

255
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: seven years of fighting was very like as far as

256
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: money goes, it's it's it's not who you want to

257
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: be at. You know, you're not seeing no money even

258
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: if you're being a big people. I have to do

259
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: a lot of work for for a little bit of money.

260
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: It's it's not easy. And I mean I would just

261
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: do budget cuts really to tell you truth. Like let's

262
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: say I I had just enough to pay for six

263
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: months of rent and barely have food, or I could

264
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: just stay in my car and have a lot more food.

265
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: Things like that. Okay, I'll just stay in my car

266
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: for these next six months and make it work. You know,

267
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: things like that is what what would happen. But it's just, um,

268
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: it's just like a budget cut. I feel it. You know,

269
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: it's just just making it happen, just just doing whatever

270
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: it takes to get your goals accomplished. And that's why

271
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: I like the Republican Party. No, that makes a lot

272
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: of sense. What did you learn during during some of

273
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: those struggles? One that I'm unbreakable. I mean since I've

274
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: been a child, life has Uh. I was thrown some

275
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: curveballs at me and I'm still here smiling, So I

276
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: know I'm unbreakable, and that's that's just the way that

277
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: got intended for me to be. I think for the

278
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: struggles I've had since a young young man, so um,

279
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: a lot of these struggles, I just knew it was

280
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: like it was impermanent. It was just some passing through here,

281
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, whether I was in in a very uncomfortable

282
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: place where I was in a in a car, you know,

283
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: or or in a hotel and a night five star hotel.

284
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: I knew that, but I wanted in my mind and

285
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: nothing was going to change it. I wasn't gonna get distracted.

286
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: I knew I'd be here one day. So I think

287
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: that's an awesome message, because you know, we're kind of

288
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: making like kids we these days, you know, and basically

289
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: making it easy on them and and teaching them to

290
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: not face adversity and trying to really insulate them when

291
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, you learn your best life lessons when you're

292
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: presented with challenges. It goes back to even those like

293
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: if you're getting bullied, for for you to go tell

294
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: your teacher or something like that, that doesn't make a

295
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: lot of sense to me, you know, forgetting bullied, you

296
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: should addressed enough. You can't handle it on yourself then,

297
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: you know. But I see it in school, how it

298
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: is what they tell my my children and stuff. I

299
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: don't think it should be that way. So there was

300
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, like Dana White, the UFC president,

301
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: as you know, Kobe Covington, a lot of UFC fighters

302
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: seemed to be supportive of President Trump. Why do you

303
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: think fighters were so drawn to him? Well, that got

304
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: Kobe's just a tool. He'll say anything just to get

305
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: his name in the headlines. He doesn't if you ask

306
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: him like policy, the Trump put that's his favorite, or

307
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: or what's going on right now currently political the idiot.

308
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: He just says things to get them headlines and stuff

309
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: and to create what me and you're doing right now talking.

310
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: But he doesn't know anything about anything, all right, So

311
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: he's so noted. He sucks. We got got it? How

312
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: do you I mean? I don't, I don't. I don't

313
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: know him. I don't know anything about him. So yeah,

314
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: I take your word for it. He's just trying to

315
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: get pictures with Trump and say things like that, but

316
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: he doesn't actually know about policies and stuff, all right,

317
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: So we're we're in collaborator. Then he sucks. I'm with

318
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: you on that. I don't know anything about him, so whatever.

319
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: So okay, So how do you think you know, obviously

320
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: you wanted President Trump to win, that didn't happen. What

321
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: do you make of the Biden administration in the past

322
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: a hundred plus days that he's been in office? Um? Goodness,

323
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: I want to say and be like, I don't know

324
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: anybody voted from but to all that did, I told

325
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: you so. I mean, it's just a joke. It's it's

326
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: a lot of things that we already knew we're gonna happen.

327
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: Gas immediately shut up, uh in digital real explanation for it.

328
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: On his end, you know, there's a border crisis. Um,

329
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: the stock market is doing horrendous and it's gonna keep

330
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: doing worse. Now he's gonna if these things are serious,

331
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: what he's gonna do with the car stuff? That could

332
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: be another ship show? You know, it's it's it's crazy. Yeah,

333
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: I know there has to be a time for like

334
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: future and doing different things. But I think the way

335
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: they're doing is is not the right way. Do you

336
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: think you're wording against you know, socialism and communism coming

337
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: to America? Do you think it's here and do you

338
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: think it's growing under the Biden administration. Definitely, it's it's

339
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: definitely here. I'm in Miami, Florida, which we're writing between

340
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: Venezuela and Cuba. So it's like people don't talk about

341
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: it like the ones that they come from there, like

342
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: not too proud because this is obviously a city against it.

343
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of undercover communists that come from

344
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: those places. Here, there's a lot of undercover socialists that

345
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: are here, you know. And and there's uh, those movements

346
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: are getting strongly. It's trying to be more and more vocal,

347
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: and I'm seeing it dig into my own city, you know.

348
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: So President Trump, uh, you know, you look at Florida.

349
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: He wont of the Latino vote. He improved his margins

350
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: from and seventy eight of the nation's a hundred majority

351
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: of Hispanic counties. Why do you think his message resonated

352
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: with so many Latinos? I think not just Latinos, but

353
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,959
Speaker 1: people trying to work and get after. You know, you

354
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: work hard, you finally at the end of the day,

355
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: you have all your coin collected, and then you're gonna

356
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: have to give it to an entity that that you

357
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: don't know why. Like I understand, we gotta pay taxes,

358
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: but there's a certain point where we're getting taken advantage

359
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: of and and the revolution is going to start, you know.

360
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: And I think that's what Trump was firmly against. He

361
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: was like, I'm I'm gonna let you make your money

362
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: and then I'm not gonna attach you on the money.

363
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: You can go invest like everybody else's so you don't

364
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: have to bust your ask all day long doing whatever

365
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: it is that you're doing, because at the end of

366
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: the day, your money has to make you know. Now,

367
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: if we're getting taxed here, we're getting taxed there. It's

368
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: freaking nuts. A lot in the media tried to spend

369
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: it like like, no, but you wanted um Trump's policies

370
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: and stuff. But a lot of people that are online

371
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: for the paperwork to become a resident here in this country,

372
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: I don't want to get skipped by some illegal immigrants.

373
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: They don't by somebody just decided to hop on over.

374
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: They don't want to get skipped, you know. So a

375
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: lot of people did like the peace of mind that

376
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: they brought that there was a system in place. Well,

377
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: that's the thing, because it's really not fair to people

378
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: who are trying to do it the right way, and

379
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: it has nothing against being against you know, whoever trying

380
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: to come to the United States. It's just like there's

381
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,959
Speaker 1: a process in place, and it's unfair to people who

382
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: are trying to do it the right way. I think

383
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you more. You know, there's so

384
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: many Latin people that I spoke to about this and

385
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 1: they were just not having it. And just you know,

386
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: a lot of people had family members, older people that

387
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: they their their parents couldn't just come on over and

388
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: cross the border and swim through a lake or whatever

389
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: it is that they had to do, or make them

390
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: make sure wrap that they had applied by papers and

391
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: they wanted the list for a long time, you know,

392
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: and things happen, they get skipped, you know. So I

393
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: think a lot of Latin pop when we just work hard.

394
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: We used to working harder than everybody else for half

395
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: the price. So when Trump was shining some lighting us

396
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: the lowest unemployment rate for Latinos ever, I mean, how

397
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: can we not like him? You know, we're talking to

398
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: Jorge m as Vital more from him after the break.

399
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: So you've spoken out against President trumping band on Twitter?

400
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 1: Why do you think you as banned? The same reason

401
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: we're He're gonna be me pretty soon is because he's

402
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: just saying a lot of it is the truth, and

403
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: it goes against the people that are in controlling we

404
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: we we firmly see who's in control. It's all one

405
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 1: big collaborate How do you say that work conglomerate? Yeah,

406
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: I mean I agree with you. It's like it feels

407
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: like everyone against conservatives or everyone against Trump supporters, from

408
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: from social media to like the big TV networks I've

409
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: seen in like, the more conservative views you have, the

410
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: more you're like immediately targeting and stuff like I mean,

411
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm lacking, and I get all day long messages

412
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: about how racist I am and how gonna do that

413
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: to many people missing that, I'm like, Wow, some people

414
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 1: really don't understand or want to understand history, you know,

415
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: like they didn't didn't go through history lessons and stuff.

416
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: How much how much hate did you get for supporting

417
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: President Trump? Oh? A lot, a lot, so freaking much

418
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: on an everyday basis. But this is not like hate

419
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: like somebody comes to my house or doing things like that.

420
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: This is just like online people just being cowards. You know,

421
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: although I think people showing up at your house would

422
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: probably be a dumb move. Probably probably don't move. I

423
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: have guns, dogs, Florida Police Department. You know, we also

424
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: know how to fight, also know how to know. But

425
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: that that's the last thing you gotta worrybout because somebody

426
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: comes to my house, it's the dogs and the guns

427
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: coming after you. So that's, you know, message to the haters,

428
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, stay away. But I agree, I agree with you.

429
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 1: It is kind of scary watching all of this happened

430
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: in the country because I mean, first of all, people

431
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: weren't really outraged as much as they should have been

432
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: with President Trump getting banned from smow social media and

433
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: you had banks stopped doing business with him. I mean

434
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: that that is anti American what they did to him,

435
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: and it didn't really get as much uproar as it

436
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: should have because they shut it down with the same

437
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: the same people that got them banned, the same people

438
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: shut it down. What I don't understand and why I

439
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: always be outrageous. That means they could do it to YouTube.

440
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: Du means that means they could do it to me.

441
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: That means they could do to anybody if they did

442
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: it to him, and that should offend people and bother

443
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: people like, hey, wait, this is not cool for it

444
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: to happen to anybody, because what was he saying that

445
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: I won the election? Whether he wondered or not. That's

446
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: that's nothing, uh, to get banned over for and every

447
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: social media. But we understand why, oh totally. But I

448
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: mean it is scary because it's like if as you're

449
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: it could be you, it could be me. I mean,

450
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: I know I say things that the left doesn't like.

451
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: I mean I do it almost on a daily basis.

452
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean yeah, there's not a lot of

453
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: things that they left for grees with nowadays, I think.

454
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: But where do you think they're so vicious because it's

455
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: like conservatives don't try to do that to Democrats, but

456
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: Democrats it's like they want to destroy someone's life simply

457
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: just because they don't submit to, you know, a progressive

458
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: dogma socialism and and then which turns into communism and stuff,

459
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, and they're all like at the same bottom

460
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: of the horseshoe, you know, like it's the same thing

461
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: where they might socialism or local stop or all these

462
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: places might start in different you know, theories and or

463
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: or why they're doing this hypernationalism or whatever they'll call it,

464
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: but it ends up being the same for control and power,

465
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: and it just you know, they can't get the power

466
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: by like talking to somebody having a debating getting people

467
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: to come over the side. So they have to invoke

468
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: the government. They have to invoke hate and violence and stuff.

469
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's always that. I always see it more

470
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: on the other side, Democrats infringing on our our freedoms.

471
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: You know, it's crazy. It's like, man, what's going on?

472
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: What happens to Republicans? You know, as we and the

473
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: Republicians that are here in this, we've gotta get tougher

474
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: and smarter. Man, It's not ten years from now it's

475
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: gonna be another Venezuela. Well, that's why people don't understand

476
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: who support socialism or who support communism or authoritarium and

477
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 1: you know, whatever people want to call it. But that's

478
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: what they don't understand is they think somehow it like

479
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: empowers the people, but it only empowers the government and

480
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: the people in charge. It does not ever empower the people.

481
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: But it's it's a beautiful poetic you know speech that

482
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: they give away and some people that that's what in

483
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: the buy into it, you know. So this is kind

484
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: of random, but I just wanted to get your thoughts

485
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: on it. So the there have been calls to boycott

486
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: the Winter Olympics in China because of the you know,

487
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: their communist country, egregious human rights abuses. Uh, they're committing

488
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: genocide right now against the weaker population. As an athlete,

489
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: what do you what do you think about that? I

490
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: think it's crazy what's going on in the concentration camps

491
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: if it's true. If it's true, it's a rounding up

492
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: Muslims and Christians. I mean, what the you know, like,

493
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,479
Speaker 1: what's what's going on? You know? I think more than

494
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: a than a boycott should be at play. But China

495
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: controls a lot of the world, in sports, in the

496
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: real state, in precious minerals and stuff. So I don't

497
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: think that's gonna happen. And China has too much money

498
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: and money runs the world. But as an athlete, I

499
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: would I wouldn't mind standing against him, just being like, hey, man,

500
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: answer these questions while these people are locked up in

501
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: concentration camps. Why do you think so many athletes like

502
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: we look at what's going on at the NFL and

503
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,239
Speaker 1: the kneeling. We look at what's going on in the

504
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: NBA with the kneeling. We look at what just happened

505
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: with Major League Baseball. Why are so many of these

506
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: leagues and so many athletes you know, going weight? Well,

507
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 1: can you know sort of heading towards that leftism and

508
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: progressive is um because the corporations that are handing out

509
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: these big sponsors and themselves the corporation that they worked for,

510
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: are are probably in bed with these walk movements and stuff,

511
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: you know, from like sponsors too. So I don't know

512
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: the people behind the scenes pulling the strings, because a

513
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: lot of it just doesn't make sense when you look

514
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: at the stats and stuff. It doesn't. It's like, I

515
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: don't know, there's a it seems like Corona started and

516
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: we hit the twilight zone so much faster. It just overnight,

517
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: we woke up and we were in a different dimension.

518
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: I actually that's a really became kind of radical thoughts

519
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: became kind of like the norm. Well, and I agree

520
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: with you, and I think that's when a lot of

521
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: people started waking up in the country. Because I know

522
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 1: a lot of people probably like yourself. I interviewed a

523
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: guy in Maximo Vera's who came here from I'm sure

524
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: you know who he is. He spoke at the RNC

525
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: convention and I talk to him about communism, And so

526
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: obviously for you guys who have family or you know,

527
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: he left Cuba, you know, you see things that people

528
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: maybe don't see who aren't as familiar with it. But

529
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,719
Speaker 1: I think for a lot of people just looking at

530
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: the past few months, seeing the way that the government

531
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: has dictated how people can live their lives. Have shut down,

532
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: businesses have shut down, communities have shut down, churches, and

533
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 1: there's sort of been this awakening in the country of

534
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: the dangers that you know, communism might really be in

535
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: America right now, and are we ever truly going to

536
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: be a free country again? To my Republicans, listen, it's

537
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: time to go. It's time to like, you know, start

538
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: fighting back hard and in every aspect of the world.

539
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: You know, the same tactics they're doing us. We gotta

540
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: do them back, you know, we gotta fight for freedom.

541
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: So right now, you know you've got the So you

542
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: just launched the bare knuckle game Bread. Well, actually, first

543
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: of all, how did you get the nickname game bread?

544
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: Like what's the what's the origin of that? And that's

545
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: a lot cooler nickname. I've never really actually had a

546
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: cool nickname. But what's so, what's the how did you

547
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: get that? Game? Means the ability to fight through paint

548
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: and fatigue. It doesn't mean how good you are fighting,

549
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: just means how much you're willing to fight through the

550
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: paint and fatigue and bread It's like if you got

551
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: a Cuban mom and a Cuban dad and you're bread

552
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: to have a Cuban got it? Uh, So you just

553
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: launched the bare Knuckle gamebread Fighting Championship. What can people

554
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: look for for that? What is it? What can you

555
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: tell my audience about it? It's gonna be what people

556
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: found me for. And and I love that that hard

557
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: in your face, no gloves, you know, just find out

558
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: who's the baddest, who's the toughest guy cage that day,

559
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, And it's uh, It's how I got discovered

560
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: to the world. So I'm trying to do the same thing.

561
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: Just I'm going out there and I'm just going full circle.

562
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: You know. This is how I came to be, how

563
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: I made a living for myself, and my family changed

564
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: my life around now looking for the next said he

565
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: wants to change his life around, give it on the

566
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: cage and keep pushing forward, you know. So it's gonna

567
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: be violent, it's gonna be um aggressive at style m

568
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,479
Speaker 1: m A, you know, and only looking for finishes. So

569

591
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: I can't take any blows. It's like a medical procedure

592
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: when when you get knocked out. So we're taking it

593

00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: they run and we'll just stay as active as possible.

597
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: Do you think you're done politically or do you think

598
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: you'll get involved in the future. As long as freedom

599
