1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,900
Take a look behind the curtain 
with a real whistleblower. 

2
00:00:05,900 --> 00:00:09,600
An American Patriot prepare to 
embrace the uncomfortable truth 

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,400
because this program has no time
for comforting lives here.

00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,100
Our civil liberties, enthusiasts

Hello, my friends and welcome to
the Kyle Serafin show. 

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,300
Today is Monday. 
It's June. 

8
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:32,400
The 19th in 2023. 
We are celebrating Juneteenth a 

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,900
holiday that dates back to 1865 
but was made a Federal holiday 

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,600
last year or the year before 
actually was in 2021 by 

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,600
President Joe Biden. 
We're going to talk about that. 

12
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,600
My guest today is going to be 
Ryan Matta, I'll be bringing 

13
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,300
them on very shortly but first I
want to say a quick, thank you

00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:51,400

19
00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:09,100
And let's just say, this Patriot
coolers have been with me for 

20
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:12,100
years, literally years, I was 
using them on surveillance when 

21
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:14,100
I was working. 
As an FBI agent, I've used him 

22
00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:16,000
as I've traveled across the 
country, including moving, my 

23
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000
whole family, since the bureau 
and I broke up and I had them at

24
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,100

29
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,500
because they don't say Yeti. 
They say Patriot just like you

And then let me also say a quick
thank you to my friends over at 

32
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,400
Catholic vote. 
I was just reading the loop cast

33
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,000
today. 
The loop is their email, it 

34
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,800
comes out every morning and if 
you go there you can. 

35
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,800
If you see Catholic vote.org, 
you can sign up for the same. 

36
00:01:52,900 --> 00:01:55,100
Same email that I get, it's got 
all kinds of entering 

37
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:56,600
information. 
It's got stuff showing that 

38
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,700
there. 
In fact have been some pro-life 

39
00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:01,700
activists that have been abused 
and they are not seeing the 

40
00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:04,700
those who were fighting them 
prosecuted two elderly people 

41
00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:06,500
were praying outside of an 
abortion clinic. 

42
00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:09,400
They were shoved to the ground. 
Just exactly the same thing that

43
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,800
we saw with the mark House story
and yet these people were 

44
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,200
standing and exercising their 
first amendment rights. 

45
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:18,000
Not being prosecuted on the the 
attacker side. 

46
00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:20,200
So very interesting stuff there.
You can see that they've been 

47
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,800
organizing a boycott against the
Dodgers, for bringing the sea. 

48
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,600
Jurors of Perpetual Indulgence 
into their into the Dodger 

49
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:28,800
Stadium. 
And there were thousands of 

50
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,400
people that showed up to get 
involved and push back against 

51
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,300
that. 
So doing great work. 

52
00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:36,800
Again, a great Organization for 
faith, family and freedom. 

53
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,900
I actually just found out ladies
and gentlemen, I found out that 

54
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:42,600
the city that I live in Liberty 
Hill. 

55
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,800
Texas, has a official motto and 
the motto is faith, family and 

56
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,800
freedom. 
So, what are the odds of that 

57
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,000
the same same motto that you 
see, on Catholic vote is Is 

58
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,100
actually the motto of the town 
that I live in in Texas, 

59
00:02:56,100 --> 00:02:57,100
America. 
Alright. 

60
00:02:57,100 --> 00:03:00,000
Without further Ado, I want to 
bring on my buddy and a special 

61
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,600
guest of the Kyle serif and show
here, is Ryan Mad of Ryan. 

62
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,900
Welcome to the show bud. 
Thanks for having me, man. 

63
00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:09,700
Yeah well thanks for jumping in.
So I see Ryan this morning, he 

64
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:12,800
jumps onto this call with me, we
get ready to go live and I 

65
00:03:12,808 --> 00:03:15,900
notice he's wearing a Blazer. 
He's looking very professional 

66
00:03:16,300 --> 00:03:20,300
if you're not watching on the on
the rumble Channel blyve, as we 

67
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:22,800
go right now you'll you're 
missing out. 

68
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,300
On seeing a very Dapper looking 
man, who was wearing a dark 

69
00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:29,200
Blazer, and a gray shirt. 
So, I wearing a black shirt, I 

70
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,500
decided to put on a gray Blazer.
So we are now the inverse of 

71
00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:35,000
each other. 
Bonnie, I had a black shirt on 

72
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,700
right before, when we first went
live. 

73
00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:38,600
And then I seen either on a gray
Blazer and a black shirt on, 

74
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,500
like I can't have a black shirt 
on a black blazer. 

75
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:42,800
I need to get a gray shirt on. 
He flipped the script on me and 

76
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,700
so we are rolling. 
So today, we want to talk about 

77
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:46,800
fatherhood because yesterday was
Father's Day. 

78
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:51,900
We're going to discuss some of 
the intricacies I guess of 

79
00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:55,800
raising a generation. 
NZ young, man, which is that's 

80
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,800
your lot in life and mine are 
actually younger. 

81
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,300
I don't even know what 
generation my kids are, because 

82
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:01,000
mine haven't even hit that. 
They named it. 

83
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,100
The thing gen Z is born after 
2013 or 13 2013 her after. 

84
00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:08,500
So I think you have gen Z or 
raising gen Z as well. 

85
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:11,100
I'm not mistaken. 
I've got baby baby gen Z's then 

86
00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:13,300
because my kiddos are younger 
than yours. 

87
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,399
How old is your son? 
My son's 99 years old. 

88
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:19,000
Okay, so he's got a couple years
on mine, but those three years 

89
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,600
are probably a big difference 
compared to my six-year-old. 

90
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,400
All right, so we're going to get
into fatherhood. 

91
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,300
I want to just start by what I 
normally ask people, which is 

92
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:30,200
you know, tell people where you 
grew up kind of how you grew up 

93
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:36,100
and and maybe sort of your 
experience with your father, 

94
00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:38,400
which I know is going to be kind
of interesting to folks. 

95
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:42,300
Yeah, I grew up in a, I guess, 
middle class neighborhood. 

96
00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:44,900
My parents were both. 
My mom was a waitress. 

97
00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:46,800
My father was a bricklayer or my
stepdad. 

98
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,900
I should say, was a bricklayer. 
I pretty much had anything. 

99
00:04:49,900 --> 00:04:52,800
I have anything I really needed 
or wanted as a kid as far as 

100
00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:57,000
Clothes food, I played Sports. 
There wasn't really much that my

101
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,200
stepdad did not provide for me 
and I was very, very lucky. 

102
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,200
I guess growing up knowing that 
I had I guess, I let me say this

103
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,200
again. 
When I turn 25, I really 

104
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,700
realized. 
I was able to look back and 

105
00:05:08,700 --> 00:05:10,800
realize what a amazing 
stepfather. 

106
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,400
I had the guy gave me 
everything, he would give me the

107
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,300
shirt off his back, anytime I 
needed anything, he was there 

108
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:20,600
when I played Sports, he was so 
into sports, that he would sit 

109
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,300
by himself. 
So he won't even sit with our 

110
00:05:22,300 --> 00:05:24,500
family because He thought it was
bad luck, if he even went to the

111
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:26,000
bathroom during like a hockey 
game. 

112
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,300
He was there at every single 
game. 

113
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:30,000
Every single practice, never 
missed a second of a game. 

114
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:32,200
So I was very, very fortunate 
growing up. 

115
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,400
Now, that's not necessarily 
common for everybody with a 

116
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,800
stepdad, I think it's hard. 
I think it's hard to imagine 

117
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,600
that someone who is not your 
flesh and blood but I do have 

118
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,100
friends who are adopted and they
had similar experiences where, 

119
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:46,100
you know, Dad was 100% all-in, 
but that's a conscious Choice, 

120
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:49,500
it's maybe not the same 
biological imperative, then then

121
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:53,200
we see when your kids are flesh 
and blood and share that with 

122
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,600
you. 
So, you looked at with that. 

123
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,300
But that means that you your, 
what happened to your biological

124
00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:00,500
father, My real father passed 
away when I was a month and a 

125
00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:03,100
half old. 
So that's kind of where where I 

126
00:06:03,108 --> 00:06:07,500
developed this mindset. 
When I had my son, it was I was 

127
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:09,400
going to do. 
I wanted to be the father that I

128
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,800
wish I had if that made sense. 
So, from the second I'll put it 

129
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,600
this way when I felt my son kick
in my mom's in his mom's stomach

130
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,600
for the first time. 
I rode, my Harley Davidson over 

131
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,300
to her house that night. 
And we were sitting on the couch

132
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:23,800
and she said he kicked for the 
first time and I was the last 

133
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,900
time I drove my Harley, I wrote 
it home that night. 

134
00:06:25,900 --> 00:06:28,400
Put it up for sale and sold it 
in silly, because there was no 

135
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,800
way. 
I was going to allow my son to 

136
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,600
grow up without a father. 
Yeah, I think that's I think 

137
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,200
that's an interesting Instinct. 
I also sort of stopped riding 

138
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,300
motorcycles for the most part 
when when I had my first and I 

139
00:06:40,308 --> 00:06:41,800
don't know if that was my choice
for my wife's choice. 

140
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,700
But either way, I'm willing to 
accept it. 

141
00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:47,600
Let's talk a little bit about 
the challenge that you had 

142
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,800
because you're not just a guy 
who had a child, but you had a, 

143
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,500
you actually had to fight to be 
a father in your son's life. 

144
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:59,700
So maybe maybe, tell people the 
scenario, you rode over to feel 

145
00:06:59,700 --> 00:07:01,700
your son kick for the first 
time. 

146
00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:04,500
It wasn't under the maybe the 
best circumstances, right? 

147
00:07:05,100 --> 00:07:05,800
Yeah. 
That's right. 

148
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,300
Yeah. 
Me and my son's mom where we 

149
00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:10,500
were at a point in our 
relationship that we are kind of

150
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:12,500
just friends, you know, you get 
to that point in a relationship 

151
00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:14,400
where you're just friends and 
you know you're young. 

152
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:17,600
I think I was like 24 so just 
doing spiteful things like I'm 

153
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,800
gonna go out and party and not 
come home and you know just to 

154
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,400
like get to get under each 
other's skin. 

155
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,300
And it just was a got to a point
where we really just decided, 

156
00:07:25,300 --> 00:07:27,600
we're just going to be friends. 
But at that point her mother 

157
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,600
absolutely despised me so her 
parents offered her too. 

158
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,400
To buy her a modular home. 
If she left me and refused to 

159
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,100
let me see the child. 
So, when she was pregnant being 

160
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:43,600
super emotional, she had I guess
like a, like a second coming 

161
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,800
where she wanted me around, so I
was able to come back. 

162
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,500
So I felt her kicking it in his 
stomach. 

163
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:52,900
And then I basically didn't 
pretty much talk to her until 

164
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,700
like, maybe like a month before 
she was about to have him. 

165
00:07:55,700 --> 00:07:57,800
And then she was just so 
pregnant and by herself and 

166
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,300
alone and there's just things 
that up that your parents can't 

167
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:01,700
provide for you. 
You need somebody else. 

168
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,300
Talk to. 
So she let me come back into his

169
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,200
into her life for a couple 
months before he was born, maybe

170
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,500
like a month before he was born,
he was born. 

171
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:10,100
I was there when he was born, 
got to sign the birth 

172
00:08:10,100 --> 00:08:11,600
certificate. 
Cut the umbilical cord. 

173
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,300
It was by far the greatest 
moment of my life. 

174
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,800
Seen your first child be boring.
There's there's nothing like it.

175
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,700
I mean, everything in your life 
just changed instantly but then 

176
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,200
about two weeks later, she 
wanted me to just walk away. 

177
00:08:23,300 --> 00:08:25,000
She wanted me to walk away. 
She said, you'd have to pay any 

178
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,100
child support. 
Just, I'll sign everything over.

179
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:29,700
You can just walk away and 
that's what, that's what my 

180
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:31,300
parents are. 
Basically suggesting. 

181
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:34,799
That's why Parents want, she 
didn't even put, wouldn't even 

182
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:36,799
put my last name on the birth 
certificate. 

183
00:08:37,500 --> 00:08:40,299
So you said your parents were 
asking you to walk away, as 

184
00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:41,200
well. 
As that correct? 

185
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,700
No, no. 
Her parents were okay. 

186
00:08:42,700 --> 00:08:45,800
So, she's got family saying, 
hey, you know, let's just cut 

187
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,100
this off. 
She's asking for that. 

188
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:49,900
She's willing to let you go 
scot-free. 

189
00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:54,400
No, no, child support no 
presence in his life and sort of

190
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,800
just out of sight. 
Out of mind. 

191
00:08:56,500 --> 00:08:59,600
Correct, what did that feel like
when that offer was made? 

192
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,200
I still remember it to this day.
It was just like, almost like 

193
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,000
you're losing control. 
Like I like your entire world is

194
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,300
being ripped out of your hands, 
your your hearts being ripped 

195
00:09:12,300 --> 00:09:16,000
out of your chest, you know? 
I was just, it was a no-brainer.

196
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:18,300
I was at an attorney's office 
the next morning with fifteen 

197
00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:20,700
hundred dollars. 
I had served her I think within 

198
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:24,200
like seven days or something 
like that of her making that 

199
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,000
phone call. 
I immediately stopped talking to

200
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,400
her and she kept trying to like 
call back after she got served 

201
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,800
in argue with me and I'm like, 
listen, we're not going to see 

202
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,600
eye to eye there. 
No point in us, sitting on the 

203
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:33,900
phone and screaming at each 
other. 

204
00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:35,500
You're never going to see my 
point of view. 

205
00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:36,900
I'm never going to see your 
point of view. 

206
00:09:36,900 --> 00:09:40,100
Let's go to the courthouse and 
let's let a judge decide and 

207
00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:43,100
that's pretty much how it went 
for the next year. 

208
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:47,000
Honestly, we didn't really talk 
it, we went to court, I got 

209
00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:49,500
because if your, when you go to 
court I don't know about other 

210
00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:53,200
states but in Michigan, if 
you're if the father is Jesus 

211
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,700
Christ and the mother absolutely
despises you and you've never 

212
00:09:56,700 --> 00:10:00,100
had and your child doesn't know 
who you are so like what after 

213
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:01,500
he was born in. 
There was like a three-month. 

214
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,400
If period before we could 
actually get into a court that I

215
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,900
didn't see him. 
So technically, I was 

216
00:10:05,900 --> 00:10:08,000
quote-unquote a stranger to my 
child. 

217
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:10,600
So they're never going to force 
a mother to hand a baby over to 

218
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,600
a stranger. 
You have to develop that 

219
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,000
relationship with them and you 
basically won't get over nights 

220
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,400
or anything besides you know 
your visitation for the first 

221
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,100
year until the child's one years
old. 

222
00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:25,700
So from the time he was born to 
the time, he was 11, I got 

223
00:10:25,700 --> 00:10:29,800
supervised visits every other 
weekend with one of my relatives

224
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,500
had to be there. 
I couldn't drive. 

225
00:10:31,700 --> 00:10:34,800
My son, it was this huge, 
basically, string of events of 

226
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,400
things that I had to basically 
comply with but I was but so 

227
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,600
stick a step back. 
So my thought process was 

228
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,700
childhood Amnesia, right? 
So your child's not going to 

229
00:10:43,708 --> 00:10:46,100
remember anything before the age
of three, unless it's super, 

230
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:48,500
super traumatic. 
So I said, okay, I'll play this 

231
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:51,300
game while and that's when I 
really wanted to change my life.

232
00:10:51,300 --> 00:10:52,800
So I went got a new job, went to
work. 

233
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,300
I was working overtime, double 
time and I was doing everything 

234
00:10:55,300 --> 00:10:57,300
I could to provide the best life
for my child. 

235
00:10:57,300 --> 00:10:58,500
I wanted to make sure you had 
insurance. 

236
00:10:58,500 --> 00:11:01,000
I want to make sure I had a job 
that had 401K paid vacations 

237
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,400
time off. 
Off and I wanted to work 

238
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,300
somewhere that was going to pay 
for my school because I didn't 

239
00:11:04,300 --> 00:11:07,700
go to college at that time. 
So basically from that moment on

240
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,900
it was just I'm gonna do 
everything I can to be the best 

241
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:13,100
father humanly possible and 
since I can't see my son, I'm 

242
00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:16,700
going to be working to better my
son if that makes sense. 

243
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,100
And that's that was really my 
mission. 

244
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:21,500
And then the from this like it 
was like the day after what, 

245
00:11:21,500 --> 00:11:25,500
that one year mark was happened 
to be on a Christmas and she 

246
00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:27,500
agreed that she was going to 
excited those supervised visits,

247
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:30,200
but I had my dad's dead. 
So I wanted to go to my mom's 

248
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:31,500
side of the family, and my dad 
said it. 

249
00:11:31,700 --> 00:11:34,400
Family for Christmas and she 
agreed that I could finally pick

250
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,100
him up and take him to my mom's 
side of the family for a couple 

251
00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:39,500
hours, my dad's side of the 
family and then bring him back 

252
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:41,700
home to her that night and he 
was a year old. 

253
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,900
Yep. 
He was a year old and I called 

254
00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:48,000
her said, hey, I'm going to be 
coming over at like noon to pick

255
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000
up Mason and she goes, well, 
your mom's gonna be with you, 

256
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:50,900
right? 
And they go. 

257
00:11:50,900 --> 00:11:53,100
No, my mom said her side of the 
family is, I'm going to Bevin, 

258
00:11:53,100 --> 00:11:56,600
my dad's side of the family is 
first, and she goes, oh well, I 

259
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,100
just don't think I'm comfortable
with that. 

260
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,000
I said, all right, Jess, thanks 
and I hung up on her. 

261
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,600
And then it was like the I don't
know, I think January 1st, I had

262
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,700
already went to the courthouse 
or January second right after 

263
00:12:06,700 --> 00:12:08,200
the holidays. 
I was in the courthouse the 

264
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,100
first day that they opened 
filing to basically go back to 

265
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:14,900
court again to get to get my 
custody changed. 

266
00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:18,500
And at that point, I went back 
without an attorney and she went

267
00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:21,400
with a 10,000 dollar attorney 
and basically I just cleaned 

268
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,200
house, you know, I was a great 
father, never miss the visit, 

269
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,800
never miss a child support 
payment and the judge, and I 

270
00:12:26,808 --> 00:12:28,900
don't know about all cases. 
But most of the time. 

271
00:12:28,900 --> 00:12:31,500
The courts don't want to take a 
child from a father. 

272
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,600
You're being a good father, the 
courts are going to decide in 

273
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,500
your favor. 
I'll you just have to show up 

274
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:37,900
and have to be consistent, have 
to do it again. 

275
00:12:37,900 --> 00:12:40,900
So I did that got more custody. 
And then I think when it was 

276
00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:43,900
like the three-year Mark is when
you can basically go back again,

277
00:12:43,900 --> 00:12:46,200
if circumstances changed and we 
both move. 

278
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,800
So there was a change in 
circumstance. 

279
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,800
I was able to take them back and
basically not have 50/50 and we 

280
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,300
get along great now, and you had
to go do all the. 

281
00:12:53,300 --> 00:12:55,200
Have you ever dealt with an 
attorney or the court system? 

282
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,000
Before any of this II, got a DUI
when I was like 18 or something,

283
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,400
but that's about it. 
Okay. 

284
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,400
But not, but not civil. 
I mean, that's a criminal 

285
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,300
situation. 
That's a light criminal. 

286
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,700
So you knew to go get an 
attorney and then you started 

287
00:13:07,700 --> 00:13:09,100
representing yourself. 
He said, when he was about a 

288
00:13:09,108 --> 00:13:11,900
year old, is that correct? 
Yeah, the first tourney, well, I

289
00:13:11,908 --> 00:13:14,600
had two attorneys. 
The first one was just a sleaze 

290
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,200
ball kept saying that go. 
Yeah. 

291
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:17,700
Like listen, I don't have any 
more money. 

292
00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:20,300
Like I'm, I'm barely able to get
by, don't have more me. 

293
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:21,400
So I'll just go. 
Get another 1500. 

294
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:23,600
Can't you ask your grandma for 
another 1500? 

295
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,100
Can't you ask your parents for 
another 1500? 

296
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:26,100
You don't have. 
Anybody that give you more 

297
00:13:26,100 --> 00:13:28,000
money. 
We got a grease, the wheel and I

298
00:13:28,008 --> 00:13:30,600
was just like, you know, you 
just a greasy attorney and I 

299
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,000
felt that. 
So I Like and him hired a second

300
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,100
one. 
And that guy was just great 

301
00:13:35,700 --> 00:13:37,400
Gregory Dean. 
He's an amazing attorney, he 

302
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,200
took care of me. 
He's the one who got me through 

303
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,700
my first court date, and then 
the second one was it was just 

304
00:13:42,700 --> 00:13:44,600
to the point where I was just 
like, what am I going to pay 

305
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,000
this attorney for I'm a great 
dad I'm and I just wanted to I 

306
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000
guess I guess I felt like I was 
willing to risk it because I had

307
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,500
nothing to lose. 
Like they weren't going to take 

308
00:13:52,500 --> 00:13:54,400
anything away from me, she 
wasn't going to give me anything

309
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,000
more how it what was it going to
hurt? 

310
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
If I went there and represented 
myself. 

311
00:13:58,100 --> 00:14:00,900
Because if that failed then I 
was going to go get an attorney 

312
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,200
and take her Back again. 
So I did went without without 

313
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,600
one and I just I did everything 
that they told me to do the 

314
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,200
first time. 
I never missed a visit, never 

315
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,600
miss anything. 
I was just very confident that 

316
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,500
they weren't going to take any 
time away from me so I had 

317
00:14:12,500 --> 00:14:15,900
nothing left to lose. 
So our buddy, Eric Jason in the 

318
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:17,300
chat. 
Who's one of our moderators is 

319
00:14:17,300 --> 00:14:18,400
saying that's a whole lot of 
crap. 

320
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,300
Just trying to be a dad, an 
uphill battle and I think a lot 

321
00:14:22,300 --> 00:14:26,600
of men at least recently have 
walked away from fatherhood with

322
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,100
difficulties like that. 
What what sort of mindset were 

323
00:14:30,100 --> 00:14:33,700
you were you holding on to? 
As you kind of fought an Uphill 

324
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:36,000
Court battle, knowing that this 
is a three-year fight, not 

325
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,100
knowing how long it's going to 
take to get access. 

326
00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:39,600
I mean, some of these things 
must have weighed on you 

327
00:14:39,608 --> 00:14:43,500
especially because even though 
you're what 24 25 26 at that 

328
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:45,300
time, it's still pretty young 
for men. 

329
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:47,500
Like a lot of us don't develop. 
I was still more on when I was 

330
00:14:47,500 --> 00:14:49,500
27. 
So I imagine some of the stuff 

331
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:52,200
had to kind of weigh on you and 
you had to have some moments. 

332
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:55,800
Yeah, there's a lot of mornings,
you know. 

333
00:14:56,700 --> 00:14:59,200
I had, I still have been notes 
in my phone where I thought 

334
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,600
that, you know, maybe I might 
not make it a couple of years. 

335
00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:03,100
Ears, right? 
Like, if something happened and 

336
00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:05,200
I died and I never got to 
develop that relationship. 

337
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,200
So there was a time there where 
I was writing a letter to my 

338
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,900
son. 
I'm getting choked up every 

339
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:15,300
morning, driving to work, just 
in case that I wasn't here, you 

340
00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:16,900
know? 
Yeah. 

341
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,100
So yeah, there's a lot of what 
sort of thoughts were sharing 

342
00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:21,400
during those times if you don't 
mind. 

343
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,400
I know, I mean being a father is
an emotional experience, there's

344
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,100
no question about it. 
And then when, especially when 

345
00:15:26,100 --> 00:15:27,900
you start thinking about, like 
the possibility of leaving your 

346
00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:31,300
kids behind and, you know, it 
that's probably the scariest 

347
00:15:31,300 --> 00:15:33,000
thing that Guys, like you and I 
can face. 

348
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,500
It's like, well, what happens if
I'm not there because it's a 

349
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:38,100
really weird world of we're 
looking at, you were just 

350
00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:40,500
sending me some stuff from some 
of the Jen's ears out there in 

351
00:15:40,508 --> 00:15:42,100
the world. 
These 20 year old kids that are 

352
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,000
acting like total morons and you
know I assume it's because they 

353
00:15:46,008 --> 00:15:48,200
didn't have a good father in 
their life to straighten him out

354
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,600
and tell him that. 
It's what kind of thoughts were 

355
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:50,700
you leaving for your for your 
son? 

356
00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:53,100
If that, if you didn't make it 
just yeah. 

357
00:15:53,100 --> 00:15:55,900
Just I was just trying to to 
tell him what type of person you

358
00:15:55,900 --> 00:15:58,700
wanted to be when you grow up, 
you know, learning from all 

359
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,400
trying to like walk him through 
some of the big mistakes that 

360
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,600
I've made. 
In my life, you know where 

361
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,600
you're younger. 
You just think your friends are 

362
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:10,700
everything, you know, and and so
for your family, and but you'd 

363
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:12,800
of you end up spending more time
with your friends and it's like 

364
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,800
the people that you surround 
yourself with like they become 

365
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,500
your family in a way. 
So I just just trying to help 

366
00:16:18,500 --> 00:16:21,400
him understand how important 
family is and being respectful 

367
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,700
and respecting adults and going 
to school and getting a good and

368
00:16:24,700 --> 00:16:27,000
reading you know, and trying to 
trying to start your own 

369
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,700
business and grow up and be a 
productive member of society. 

370
00:16:29,700 --> 00:16:32,400
I mean, it was a long time ago, 
I had Probably go through them 

371
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,500
again, but that was probably 
along the lines of what I was 

372
00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:36,200
saying. 
Yeah, sure. 

373
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,600
Now, one of the things that 
you've done is you've built your

374
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,800
life up in such a way and people
can see behind you. 

375
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,500
If you're not watching our 
Rumble Channel, you'll know 

376
00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:43,900
you're missing out on the 
background there. 

377
00:16:43,900 --> 00:16:47,300
But there's a LF a TV, which is 
one of the things that you do 

378
00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:50,600
and it's one of the many sort of
pies that you got your hand in. 

379
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,900
But you've built a life where 
you can be around for your kid, 

380
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,900
you sort of build your life 
around being available for 

381
00:16:56,900 --> 00:16:59,500
Mason, and he's not the 
afterthought. 

382
00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:01,600
I feel like in some ways it's 
the primary thought for your 

383
00:17:01,700 --> 00:17:05,099
Your time kind of tell people 
how you built that life up and 

384
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,000
and maybe where that started 
because I know it goes back. 

385
00:17:07,099 --> 00:17:12,500
Kind of a long ways. 
Yeah so I was going to say he 

386
00:17:12,500 --> 00:17:20,700
was probably two or three when I
start when I first got into eBay

387
00:17:20,900 --> 00:17:22,800
I think it was like designing 
shirts like I bought a pretty 

388
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,599
like a shirt press and I was 
like oh I'm going to start a 

389
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:27,700
t-shirt company and sell these 
shirts, you know and then that 

390
00:17:27,700 --> 00:17:32,100
kind of got into selling things 
on eBay and Is on. 

391
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:38,000
And then I at one point I was I 
took a I had bought a charger 

392
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,400
and I wanted to sell a chart 
like as a car charger, like a 

393
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,700
cell phone charger, I bought one
didn't, it was between dollar 

394
00:17:42,700 --> 00:17:45,400
charge on the gonna throw it on 
eBay and I figure out there on 

395
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,800
eBay, right price, the wrong for
like 22 or 23 or 25 dollars and 

396
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,900
a price of five dollars more 
than I paid it and I sold it and

397
00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:53,800
then the person said it was 
broken, it's got crap. 

398
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,100
I got to order another one of 
these because it got to him and 

399
00:17:56,100 --> 00:17:59,300
it was broke and it was I wonder
if I get on Amazon and I can 

400
00:17:59,300 --> 00:18:01,300
just order one on Amazon and 
have it shipped right to his 

401
00:18:01,300 --> 00:18:02,000
house. 
House. 

402
00:18:02,300 --> 00:18:05,600
And then it clicked on me, I go,
oh my gosh, I can go on Amazon 

403
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,500
and I can screenshot images of a
product that somebody selling on

404
00:18:08,500 --> 00:18:11,000
Amazon. 
I can go list it for $10 more on

405
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,200
eBay. 
And when they order it, I go on 

406
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,400
Amazon and it is ship it. 
Directly their house, 

407
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,600
dropshipping, right? 
And that was back before, 

408
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:18,900
everybody was really Drop 
Shipping. 

409
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:21,700
So there was a time where I made
almost 100 Grand in a year or 

410
00:18:21,708 --> 00:18:24,400
just drop shipping things 
between eBay and Amazon. 

411
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:27,800
And then that's where that I got
into selling a whole bunch of 

412
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,600
different things on eBay yetis, 
coolers hat sunglasses. 

413
00:18:31,700 --> 00:18:34,300
Is you name it? 
And that's where I really, I was

414
00:18:34,300 --> 00:18:36,900
working a job. 
But then outside of my job, I 

415
00:18:36,900 --> 00:18:39,900
was I was producing money, not 
working. 

416
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,400
And then once you really start 
to see, like, okay, I can invest

417
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,300
a little bit of time, like the 
time was creating the listings 

418
00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:47,800
and designing the listings and 
getting listed on eBay. 

419
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,400
But after somebody ordered it, 
it was literally like one second

420
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,800
of copying pasting their address
and boom and I make five bucks. 

421
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,900
Do that 10 times in a day. 
And I started thinking, like, 

422
00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:58,500
okay, if I could make a hundred 
extra dollars, a day, I can save

423
00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:01,500
to retirement, right? 
That was the name of the game. 

424
00:19:01,700 --> 00:19:03,100
Mmmmm. 
And then I got into designing 

425
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:05,800
clothes and then I really 
started a full on Amazon 

426
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,000
business. 
I had one of the fastest-growing

427
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,000
EDM clothing lines in the United
States back in 2019 you say EDM?

428
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,300
Yes, electronic music. 
So that was a point in my life 

429
00:19:16,300 --> 00:19:20,300
where you go and you take like 
the Amazon Guru classes that are

430
00:19:20,308 --> 00:19:22,800
going to teach you how to become
an Amazon millionaire. 

431
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,300
And they're all, you gotta find 
a nice. 

432
00:19:24,300 --> 00:19:26,500
You got to find a niche, right? 
And I'm like, thinking like, 

433
00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:28,900
okay, well what what what Niche 
you're going to find that 

434
00:19:28,900 --> 00:19:33,400
somebody hasn't already cracked 
and then I was selling boxers 

435
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,700
with like pockets in them, you 
know, like on like this. 

436
00:19:35,700 --> 00:19:37,100
I feel like your cell phone. 
Hmm. 

437
00:19:37,900 --> 00:19:40,200
And then they started, people 
started taking them to festivals

438
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,000
to like hide. 
There you can't take like an 

439
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,500
open VAP or chapstick into these
festivals that they were wanted 

440
00:19:46,500 --> 00:19:49,300
Pockets with boxers in them. 
And then it just turned in one 

441
00:19:49,300 --> 00:19:53,100
of I met my next one of my 
ex-girlfriends was into EDM so 

442
00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:55,400
she's like, oh you should design
so you should design a bikini. 

443
00:19:55,500 --> 00:20:00,100
I was like okay I called my spot
supplier in China, through me up

444
00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:01,500
some prototypes and it just 
happened to hit. 

445
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,900
It out of the park first try. 
And then so then lightmap your 

446
00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:07,800
another after another. 
And I had a whole clothing line.

447
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,700
What is specific to EDM when it 
comes to clothing that they were

448
00:20:11,700 --> 00:20:13,200
looking for? 
And also, I appreciate that. 

449
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,500
You you listen to the kind of 
music you listen to, like, or at

450
00:20:15,500 --> 00:20:17,400
least you had somebody that was 
around you and it, and you just 

451
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,200
said, screw it. 
I'm going to dig into this. 

452
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,900
Not not almost like hyper 
masculine, but I actually really

453
00:20:22,900 --> 00:20:24,000
like something with the driving 
beat. 

454
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,100
If I'm going to go for a jog, 
people would laugh like a lot of

455
00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:27,900
dudes, listen to metal. 
And I listen to things like 

456
00:20:27,900 --> 00:20:29,600
that. 
So I know I know what you're 

457
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,200
talking about. 
That's funny or our Day. 

458
00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:35,300
She was actually picking me up 
and she picked me up. 

459
00:20:35,300 --> 00:20:36,500
She goes oh, what do you listen 
to? 

460
00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:38,800
I go anything but that EDM 
garbage? 

461
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:44,100
That that is so gay, because I 
go, what do you listen to? 

462
00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:47,900
She goes, oh EDM, just like and 
you're like, oh yeah that's my 

463
00:20:47,900 --> 00:20:49,700
favorite. 
You do, you do the straight 

464
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:54,500
pivot, you can't. 
So you can't just like stand on 

465
00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:56,100
that when you got to act like it
didn't even happen. 

466
00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:01,500
That's classic. 
Now, I think I don't. 

467
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,500
She said, EDM rights, you think 
I like country I kind of like 

468
00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:06,800
EDM you know, and then like a 
couple months later I found out 

469
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,300
that EDM was their total thing 
like show us her demos. 

470
00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:12,700
And yeah. 
So and and people spend a bunch 

471
00:21:12,700 --> 00:21:14,900
of money on specific close to go
to festivals. 

472
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:20,000
Is that what you're kind of? 
Okay. 

473
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,500
I'm never going to have 
competition selling it. 

474
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,500
They wear pasties like girls 
wear like the pasting up a 

475
00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:27,500
covers, they were really skinny 
bikinis. 

476
00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:29,700
They were like reflective things
because it's at most the things 

477
00:21:29,700 --> 00:21:31,400
are at night. 
So anything that glows in the 

478
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,800
dark, Black light reflective 
guys. 

479
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,200
We're basically like t-shirts 
with like neon design so that 

480
00:21:36,208 --> 00:21:38,800
when they go in the backlight 
they really like change colors 

481
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,900
girls. 
Put like that guy had like a 

482
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:42,800
whole glitter line. 
I abide glitter line. 

483
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,500
It was like the like the glitter
flakes. 

484
00:21:44,500 --> 00:21:46,700
Like they take like the eyelash 
glue and they put on their face 

485
00:21:46,700 --> 00:21:48,900
and they sprinkle the glitter on
it and then they put like the 

486
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:51,500
rhinestone Little Gems on their 
on their face. 

487
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:52,900
The whole bunch of weird stuff, 
man. 

488
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,900
It's really weird in history. 
I don't really know how I got 

489
00:21:55,900 --> 00:21:59,800
into it but so it was the niche.
I got to imagine that the 

490
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,600
hardest thing for most people 
when they're starting to A 

491
00:22:01,608 --> 00:22:03,300
business up like this and 
they're looking at it. 

492
00:22:03,300 --> 00:22:06,000
First of all, they've got, 
they've got kid, and you've got 

493
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,100
the kid to worry about 
supporting you've got payments, 

494
00:22:08,100 --> 00:22:10,000
you got to make right? 
You got, you got a child support

495
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,700
payments, so you can't be 
missing on that and they're 

496
00:22:12,700 --> 00:22:16,200
taking a risk. 
How much of the, how much of the

497
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,300
risk were you aware of that you 
were going to be sinking money 

498
00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:19,900
in and maybe nothing comes out 
of it. 

499
00:22:21,100 --> 00:22:26,700
So, my motto was, if I can work 
16 to 20 hours a day 7 days a 

500
00:22:26,700 --> 00:22:30,100
week for two years straight. 
There's really nothing. 

501
00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:32,800
You can't accomplish. 
So the risk really wasn't there 

502
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,000
for me because I didn't take 
any, I didn't leave my job. 

503
00:22:36,300 --> 00:22:39,100
I didn't take any time off, work
everything that I did or 

504
00:22:39,100 --> 00:22:44,000
running, my company was on the 
side on top of it, so outside of

505
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,100
losing time. 
But at the time, you know, 

506
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:48,300
right? 
I was until my son was three. 

507
00:22:48,300 --> 00:22:50,200
I didn't really have even when 
he was 3. 

508
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,500
I didn't have the I only had 
every other weekend. 

509
00:22:53,700 --> 00:22:56,600
So I had all this time, free, 
and I just again, every time, 

510
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,300
every second I didn't have my 
son, I was dedicating that time 

511
00:22:59,300 --> 00:23:01,900
to generating revenue for a 
business building, a business of

512
00:23:01,900 --> 00:23:05,800
the risk really wasn't there 
until I until I quit my job. 

513
00:23:06,300 --> 00:23:08,600
So at the time where I got to a 
point where I said, okay, I'm 

514
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,600
gonna quit my job. 
I'm going to do this full-time. 

515
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,700
That's when iI took the the 
massive risk I guess you would 

516
00:23:14,700 --> 00:23:17,000
say. 
Yeah, I guess so. 

517
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,200
Now when it comes to a risk, 
there's also you know a certain 

518
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,700
amount of confidence you have to
have in yourself. 

519
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,800
People may not know this because
you can be a very successful 

520
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,300
content creator on YouTube and 
nobody's ever heard of you 

521
00:23:28,300 --> 00:23:31,200
because the markets are so many,
there's so many people in the 

522
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,100
market that are looking for 
this. 

523
00:23:32,300 --> 00:23:34,600
But folks, I'm just going to let
you guys know I went and took. 

524
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,900
It took a look at Ryan's YouTube
page today and it claims like 

525
00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:43,100
the YouTube stats actually say, 
over 52 million views, total 

526
00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:44,400
views. 
Did you know that by the way? 

527
00:23:44,900 --> 00:23:48,000
No, I didn't know. 
So over 52 million total views. 

528
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,100
You have 166 thousand followers 
on there. 

529
00:23:50,300 --> 00:23:53,500
When did you start that channel?
I started that channeling 

530
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,600
actually, it was a father-son, 
channel interests, lay back in 

531
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,000
the very, very day. 
When my son was that I would 

532
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,500
have you been like 2013, I mean 
he was still crawling when I was

533
00:24:02,500 --> 00:24:06,000
taking him through like Sky 
Zone's and all the places it was

534
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,800
going to be a father-son 
motivational Channel. 

535
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,800
I was the very first thing that 
it started in to and now it's 

536
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:11,800
full of all kinds of other 
stuff. 

537
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,800
You've obviously got into the 
crypto space, you've gotten into

538
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,700
politics and kind of some of the
stuff. 

539
00:24:15,900 --> 00:24:18,600
Doing right now. 
But most of those views, I think

540
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,500
we're probably more recent than,
than, when you first started 

541
00:24:21,500 --> 00:24:23,800
with father-son motivation. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

542
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,600
That's all of them. 
All of your actually, that last 

543
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,800
in, like, know, from like, it 
would have been when we were 

544
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,700
when I met you Kyle, was that 
like, in November from like, 

545
00:24:32,700 --> 00:24:36,500
November December. 
I got like twenty three million 

546
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:39,500
views in December, and then I 
think her November got 23 

547
00:24:39,500 --> 00:24:41,400
million views just in that month
alone. 

548
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:47,200
And then in December, I got like
27 million or 25 million or 

549
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,900
something like that. 
There's a lot that seems like so

550
00:24:49,900 --> 00:24:52,300
many eyeballs to when you start 
fathoming those numbers like I 

551
00:24:52,308 --> 00:24:54,500
know they're just they're just 
numbers on a screen but that's a

552
00:24:54,500 --> 00:24:56,100
human being, that's got eyes on 
something. 

553
00:24:56,100 --> 00:24:58,800
You're doing it's pretty amazing
like the size of an audience 

554
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,700
like that it's being censored, 
Shadow band silence. 

555
00:25:03,300 --> 00:25:04,900
Yeah so I want to talk about all
those things. 

556
00:25:04,900 --> 00:25:06,600
I think we'll kind of talk about
that down the line. 

557
00:25:07,300 --> 00:25:10,200
Let's let's kind of talk about 
how you decided that you were 

558
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,100
ready to go cut the ties with 
this sort of the safety net of a

559
00:25:13,100 --> 00:25:15,200
regular job. 
Job and punch into it full 

560
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,100
speed. 
And then also maybe how your son

561
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:19,000
factored into that decision as 
it was coming up. 

562
00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:25,500
So my Amazon business was a 
business designed to to generate

563
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:29,100
you more money with doing very 
less work. 

564
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,800
So that was my mindset. 
All I never wanted to start a 

565
00:25:31,808 --> 00:25:35,200
business where I had to work 
more to make more money if that 

566
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,800
makes sense. 
If you're owning a restaurant 

567
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,000
and a manager quits, you're 
going to have to fill in for 

568
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,300
that manager. 
You kind of still have to 

569
00:25:41,300 --> 00:25:43,500
oversee to make sure your 
managers not stealing from you. 

570
00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:45,700
You have employees that want to 
talk to you even though you're 

571
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,300
you have a manager in place your
it just involves you to be there

572
00:25:48,500 --> 00:25:50,400
on asphalt. 
Company, a construction company,

573
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,600
you want to bid on new houses, 
you want to go get more work, 

574
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,400
you have to work more to make 
more money now, Amazon is a 

575
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:01,100
really, really unique animal. 
Now I tried to do an amazing 

576
00:26:01,100 --> 00:26:03,100
America collection because a lot
of people are probably gonna 

577
00:26:03,100 --> 00:26:06,200
give me a hard time, because I'm
a 100% of my products were made 

578
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,200
and manufactured in China, 
right? 

579
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,100
So, everything ships from China 
directly into Amazon, sorry, my 

580
00:26:13,100 --> 00:26:15,700
mic was a little low. 
Everything's ships directly from

581
00:26:15,700 --> 00:26:19,200
China into Amazon and their 
software is out there that 

582
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,900
Connect your Amazon page in 
Amazon can when you're selling 

583
00:26:23,900 --> 00:26:26,300
like a pair of boxers. 
Let's say you're selling boxes 

584
00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:29,900
on Amazon and Amazon knows how 
many boxers you have. 

585
00:26:29,900 --> 00:26:32,900
Actually sell a day, a week, a 
month, they track your 

586
00:26:32,900 --> 00:26:34,700
inventory. 
So when your inventory level 

587
00:26:34,700 --> 00:26:37,600
gets to a specific threshold, 
they can create what's called 

588
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,700
like a need to fill the order. 
Like hey this item is going to 

589
00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:44,500
run out and then you connect the
the program to another software 

590
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,000
and in that software, it has the
specific item. 

591
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,100
So when Amazon says, hey, you're
out of this. 

592
00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:52,100
Item is sends like a note to the
software in the software, 

593
00:26:52,100 --> 00:26:54,700
realizing goes, okay? 
You just sold x amount of 

594
00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:57,600
products in the last 90 days. 
We you need to, you need to, you

595
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,300
need to descend in x amount of a
shipment and then it connects 

596
00:27:00,300 --> 00:27:01,800
directly to my supplier in 
China. 

597
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,100
So when I'd get low on a product
in in Amazon, warehouses, it 

598
00:27:05,100 --> 00:27:07,100
would send a note to my 
software, my software would 

599
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:09,900
generate an invoice, it would 
send the invoice directly to my 

600
00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:13,000
supplier, my supplier would 
modify the invoice. 

601
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,800
Maybe material went up by 10 
cents, an ounce, or whatever the

602
00:27:15,808 --> 00:27:18,600
case may be, and then she would 
send me a final purchase order, 

603
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,200
or I would That purchase order 
after I would pay that purchase 

604
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,700
order. 
That's all I'd have to do is pay

605
00:27:22,700 --> 00:27:25,700
one, invoice order, and I would 
have to log in to Amazon and 

606
00:27:25,700 --> 00:27:28,000
generate a invoice shipping 
label. 

607
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,300
So, when sheep sends the 
products from China directly in 

608
00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:31,900
Amazon, she needs a special 
label. 

609
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,400
So I would have to pay an 
invoice and and give her a 

610
00:27:34,408 --> 00:27:36,400
label. 
Take me about three minutes, 

611
00:27:36,700 --> 00:27:41,100
maybe five to ten actually a 
month, a week, a day and I was 

612
00:27:41,100 --> 00:27:44,600
able to I was I had one point 
like 1.7 million dollars or 

613
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,100
sorry? 
No, I had three hundred thousand

614
00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:49,100
dollars worth of products in 
three different warehouses. 

615
00:27:49,300 --> 00:27:54,100
In Mexico, Canada and the United
States and I just stopped three 

616
00:27:54,100 --> 00:27:55,500
hundred thousand dollars 
products worth it. 

617
00:27:55,500 --> 00:27:57,900
And we're getting ready to kick 
off festivals using was awesome.

618
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,800
So, but I was only happy. 
I was at a point where I'd only 

619
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,800
have to work 40 hours a week and
I was doing a roughly 125 

620
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,900
thousand dollars a month in 
sales and that was the worst 

621
00:28:05,900 --> 00:28:08,800
month of the year getting ready 
to scale into Festival season. 

622
00:28:10,100 --> 00:28:13,000
And yeah. 
And and so what is the what's 

623
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,600
the profit margin on these 
things look like because 

624
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,900
obviously everyone's got to get 
it going to cut there's you know

625
00:28:16,900 --> 00:28:18,300
the software is. 
Got to cost you a little bit, 

626
00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:20,700
the inventory, the warehousing 
and all that kind of things. 

627
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:23,400
Everything goes in a circle, but
you're still going to if you're 

628
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,600
working 40 hours a week I 
imagine it was worth your time. 

629
00:28:26,300 --> 00:28:29,800
Very much, so man out, so for 
hours a week is where we are 

630
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,400
getting to the. 
I guess the big picture goal of 

631
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,600
where I could get to where I was
still probably working about 20 

632
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,000
to 30 at that time. 
Sure, but I was launching a lot 

633
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,400
of new products. 
Is doing things. 

634
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,700
But the idea was that I was 
going to have a business that I 

635
00:28:43,708 --> 00:28:46,900
could work, roughly 4 to 10 
hours a week and that business 

636
00:28:46,900 --> 00:28:53,000
is going to generate me Millions
And then what happens covid, I 

637
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,800
have an EDM Festival clothing 
line. 

638
00:28:54,900 --> 00:28:57,900
That's based on in-person 
events. 

639
00:28:58,500 --> 00:29:03,400
Yeah, Mass public Gatherings 
pool parties Events, maybe 

640
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,800
concerts and then big, big big 
festivals with the main thing. 

641
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:08,500
Yeah. 
And that was the first month, I 

642
00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:10,900
broke over a hundred and a 
hundred thousand in sales. 

643
00:29:10,900 --> 00:29:16,500
Was March of that would have 
been 2020 and so just totally 

644
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:20,300
derailed, based on that. 
Yeah, I went from doing 25,000 a

645
00:29:20,308 --> 00:29:25,500
month in sales to 77 thousand or
$7 7000, okay? 

646
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:28,000
Which is absolutely nothing. 
And those are just the products 

647
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,900
that weren't related to 
festivals that I still had on 

648
00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:32,900
the shelves and then if you 
count the probably five to ten 

649
00:29:32,900 --> 00:29:35,800
thousand, I had that month in 
returns because I just sold a 

650
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,300
hundred and twenty-five 
thousand, everybody bought all 

651
00:29:38,300 --> 00:29:40,700
these brand new clothes to go to
the Festival which was Ultra 

652
00:29:40,700 --> 00:29:42,300
Music Festival and lost lands in
there. 

653
00:29:42,300 --> 00:29:45,900
They are all lining up within 
like I mean March and Altar and 

654
00:29:45,900 --> 00:29:49,100
like March 15th kicks off 
Festival season so I'd ordered 

655
00:29:49,100 --> 00:29:50,500
anime. 
Canceled Altura. 

656
00:29:50,700 --> 00:29:53,900
So I had all these girls that 
were like, oh I'm not I just 

657
00:29:53,900 --> 00:29:55,700
bought this to where I just this
one Festival. 

658
00:29:55,700 --> 00:29:57,500
I'm not going. 
Well, I might as well return it.

659
00:29:57,500 --> 00:30:00,000
So I probably I probably had a -
probably three or four grand 

660
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,300
that month. 
I just had to take a guess. 

661
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,900
So, that was the big derailleur 
and then, did you ever try to 

662
00:30:05,900 --> 00:30:08,700
restart that or are you working 
on relaunching these things? 

663
00:30:08,700 --> 00:30:12,500
Or is it even working on now? 
So Amazon has a policy where 

664
00:30:12,500 --> 00:30:15,900
it's you can only send in things
that you sell within six months.

665
00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:19,900
So, I might pay 10 cents, 25 35 
cents per item per month that I 

666
00:30:19,908 --> 00:30:23,100
have Sitting on a shelf in 
Amazon, if you hit the six month

667
00:30:23,100 --> 00:30:26,400
period, you can either pull them
back and remove them from 

668
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,400
inventory, or you have to pay 
long-term storage fees and your 

669
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,600
long-term storage fees. 
Go from like I said, 25 cents, 

670
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,400
25 dollars per item. 
It is absolutely astronomical. 

671
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,400
Because the Amazon one of their 
biggest problems when Amazon was

672
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,700
at its peak was warehouse space.
They legit could not build their

673
00:30:43,700 --> 00:30:46,600
houses fast enough to hold all 
the inventory that people were 

674
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,100
selling in. 
So if you are shipping and 

675
00:30:48,100 --> 00:30:51,200
products Amazon that we're not 
selling you were the Cog in the 

676
00:30:51,208 --> 00:30:53,400
wheel and they wanted to make 
sure that you didn't do that 

677
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,900
time and time and time and time 
again because they can't afford 

678
00:30:55,900 --> 00:30:57,400
to sit there. 
And how is all these products 

679
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,900
that are selling? 
It's just not beneficial to 

680
00:30:58,900 --> 00:31:01,200
them. 
So, yeah, at the six-month Mark 

681
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,900
I had to pull All this 
inventory. 

682
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,000
I donated so much. 
I can't even tell you how much 

683
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,500
money. 
I, many outfits and things. 

684
00:31:07,500 --> 00:31:09,900
I've donated to Salvation Army 
and given away to friends and 

685
00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:11,700
just honestly threw out a lot 
too. 

686
00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:14,000
So yeah, I had to pull all that 
back. 

687
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,000
I had some Partners at the time 
as well that just really didn't 

688
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,700
do anything. 
They were really crappy 

689
00:31:19,700 --> 00:31:21,900
Partners. 
They were more so investors and 

690
00:31:21,900 --> 00:31:23,700
I didn't need investors. 
I needed Partners. 

691
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:26,000
I was working full-time at, you 
know, when I brought them on his

692
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,400
partners and they just so I just
wasn't, it wasn't worth it. 

693
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,500
But at the end, my Flyers that 
manufacture the clothing were 

694
00:31:33,500 --> 00:31:36,800
like, hey, we want to shut down 
our factories and make PPE 

695
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,600
supplies instead of taking the 
20,000 that we owe you and 

696
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,000
products for your EDM clothing. 
Can we send Upp supplies house 

697
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,200
like called Amazon? 
I was like, hey can I send these

698
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,000
in like you up? 
And it a long story short, I got

699
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,100
stuck with a bunch of pp 
products sold like 100 Grand 

700
00:31:50,100 --> 00:31:52,000
worth of p. 
P products in the first 90 days 

701
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,900
of the pandemic. 
And then kind of just took a 

702
00:31:53,908 --> 00:31:59,400
seat back and was like well what
do I do now and that's when I 

703
00:31:59,408 --> 00:32:04,100
went back to Thai Summit for 
maybe like six months maybe a 

704
00:32:04,100 --> 00:32:05,900
year. 
Nothing was only six months. 

705
00:32:06,100 --> 00:32:09,500
I went back there for six months
and in the process of growing 

706
00:32:09,500 --> 00:32:11,900
the YouTube channel, my YouTube 
channel just started to take 

707
00:32:11,900 --> 00:32:14,600
off. 
And at that point, I was so used

708
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,300
to the lifestyle that I had 
built. 

709
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,800
That allowed me to spend every 
second with my son. 

710
00:32:19,500 --> 00:32:21,900
Even though I knew that YouTube 
wasn't gonna pay me as much as 

711
00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:24,100
my job did and I was going to 
have to take a hit for a little 

712
00:32:24,100 --> 00:32:26,800
bit and kind of struggle to put 
a roof over my son's head. 

713
00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:30,700
It was going to be worth it 
because I You know, once you go 

714
00:32:30,700 --> 00:32:33,600
to every time that you have your
son that you're there with him, 

715
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,800
every second you don't want to 
give that up man. 

716
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,400
It's it's hard. 
What is what is your, what is 

717
00:32:39,408 --> 00:32:40,800
your custody split look like for
time? 

718
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,800
Like what days do you get? 
And what days does she have? 

719
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,100
And how do you guys work that 
out? 

720
00:32:44,500 --> 00:32:48,100
Yeah, I get on Thursday Friday, 
Saturday, Sunday Monday. 

721
00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:52,200
So I got five days one week and 
the next week I get Wednesday, 

722
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,300
Thursday, Friday, or sometimes, 
just Thursday and Friday. 

723
00:32:55,900 --> 00:32:58,800
Okay. 
And so five days about three or 

724
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,900
two Days, five days for two days
and that's our, that's our 

725
00:33:01,900 --> 00:33:03,800
summer Arrangement. 
But like I said, we are absolute

726
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,200
best friends now. 
I could call her up right now 

727
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,100
and say, hey, can I come get 
Mason to take them out fishing, 

728
00:33:08,100 --> 00:33:09,900
or do anything? 
Not know questions, actually, 

729
00:33:09,900 --> 00:33:11,500
let me. 
So, how did you guys get there? 

730
00:33:11,500 --> 00:33:13,900
How did you get there from? 
She doesn't want you to sign 

731
00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:16,800
papers, she's fighting you in 
court to where you guys are at 

732
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:17,800
right now. 
Like what do you, what do you 

733
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:23,100
attribute that to? 
Her mother being kind of a 

734
00:33:23,108 --> 00:33:26,200
crappy mom. 
So her mother was the one that 

735
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,000
basically drove the wedge 
between us. 

736
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,200
But then there was a couple 
times where her and her mom got 

737
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,300
in a fight, she had nobody, but 
I was still there for her, 

738
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:35,400
right. 
So no matter how shitty she was 

739
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,900
to me. 
I was always trying to look out 

740
00:33:37,900 --> 00:33:40,100
for her. 
I guess you could say like there

741
00:33:40,100 --> 00:33:42,700
was never that animosity between
like oh that's like your ex 

742
00:33:42,700 --> 00:33:44,800
girlfriend and you don't you 
care who she's sleeping with her

743
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,200
hanging out with like she'd be 
texting me like hey I like what 

744
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:48,400
do you think about this guy, you
know? 

745
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:49,800
And it just got to a point where
we were. 

746
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,400
I was the one That was always 
there for her and no matter 

747
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,600
what, what she thought I was 
going to do or she thought I was

748
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,500
going to be a crappy dad, or 
thought I was going to do this, 

749
00:33:56,500 --> 00:33:59,000
it just never happened. 
So I think just me just showing 

750
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,500
up and just constantly being a 
good guy and and always being 

751
00:34:02,500 --> 00:34:04,900
there for her letting your 
money, anytime she needed it 

752
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,800
being there to watch my son any 
time it was hurts, you know, her

753
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,300
scheduled time but something 
came up. 

754
00:34:09,300 --> 00:34:10,900
She got called into work or 
something happened. 

755
00:34:11,100 --> 00:34:13,300
I was just always there. 
Never missed a child support 

756
00:34:13,300 --> 00:34:14,900
payment. 
Lent, her money, anytime she 

757
00:34:14,900 --> 00:34:17,900
needed it. 
And then You know, like the old 

758
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,900
you got to replace old feelings 
with new feelings. 

759
00:34:19,900 --> 00:34:21,800
So the animosity that she had 
toward me. 

760
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,699
I think I just earned earned 
that respect back from her. 

761
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,100
The one thing I keep hearing 
over and over, whether it's 

762
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:31,199
talking about, you know, your 
situation working with your 

763
00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:33,800
son's mom, whether it be this 
business, these multiple 

764
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,000
different types of businesses. 
There's a degree of persistence 

765
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,400
that you have your ability to 
just keep pushing forward. 

766
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,199
It's almost like a like a guy 
who hits the, you know, hits the

767
00:34:44,199 --> 00:34:47,199
defensive line with the football
and he just puts his head down 

768
00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:49,400
and he just gets those extra 
couple inches and a couple 

769
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,699
inches. 
You're kind of doing it through 

770
00:34:51,699 --> 00:34:54,600
force of will. 
Where do you think that sort of 

771
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,800
persistence came from? 
Like, what do you attribute that

772
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:01,300
to and your upbringing? 
You know, my stepdad, he was 

773
00:35:01,300 --> 00:35:03,600
never the guy that was going to 
go out and and start his own 

774
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,900
business, but he was the guy 
that would outwork anybody. 

775
00:35:07,300 --> 00:35:09,500
He worked really hard, he didn't
drink, he didn't smoke, he 

776
00:35:09,500 --> 00:35:12,300
didn't party, he was just a 
really, really hard worker. 

777
00:35:12,300 --> 00:35:14,600
So I think I got a lot of my 
work ethic from my, from my 

778
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,900
stepdad. 
And then at the same time, with 

779
00:35:16,900 --> 00:35:21,400
just the mindset of my thought, 
my real dad was a junkie. 

780
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:26,300
He was a loser piece of shit who
left my mom, single to raise a 

781
00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:28,200
child, that a month and a half 
old. 

782
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,900
I wanted to be the farthest 
polar opposite of that, humanly 

783
00:35:31,900 --> 00:35:35,100
possible and then just the 
mindset of It's Always for my 

784
00:35:35,100 --> 00:35:36,900
son. 
So, all you gotta work a couple 

785
00:35:36,900 --> 00:35:39,600
extra hours. 
You can't sacrifice could 

786
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,400
sacrifice a couple of your hours
of your sleep, to make sure your

787
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,500
son has a better life than you, 
you know. 

788
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,000
So it was just always like, 
okay, I got to sacrifice time or

789
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,500
sleep. 
And I'm sacrificing it for my 

790
00:35:50,500 --> 00:35:53,100
son, it's a no-brainer. 
I mean, we were up till what was

791
00:35:53,100 --> 00:35:54,700
it? 
I mean, I was up till probably 

792
00:35:54,700 --> 00:35:57,200
one last night, I was texting at
like 6:00 or 7:00 this morning. 

793
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,400
I mean, Yeah, you're the only 
have so many hours in a day. 

794
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,700
You gotta get it. 
I know we had the conversation 

795
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:04,500
of the day offline, so I'll let 
people know, but like, I think 

796
00:36:04,500 --> 00:36:06,500
we're agreeing. 
If they were 30 or 40 or 50 

797
00:36:06,500 --> 00:36:08,800
hours in the day that we would 
use all those hours because 

798
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,300
there's so much to go on and 
then you still fall short, a 

799
00:36:11,308 --> 00:36:14,600
little bit. 
All that being said though, you 

800
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,700
kind of relate a Father's Day 
story and what you've been 

801
00:36:17,700 --> 00:36:19,500
doing? 
Maybe Father's Day weekend story

802
00:36:19,500 --> 00:36:22,000
for the last couple days. 
I wanted you to share it with me

803
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,000
because I could tell the 
excitement that you had was 

804
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,100
probably the longest audio 
message that you've left me. 

805
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,500
And so just so you know, 
disclosure folks, Ryan and I go 

806
00:36:29,500 --> 00:36:31,900
back and forth. 
He's been working to help me be 

807
00:36:31,900 --> 00:36:33,700
a better producer of the stuff 
that we're doing. 

808
00:36:33,700 --> 00:36:36,600
In fact, the audio that you see 
the, you know, the new intros 

809
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,300
and the new outros. 
Those are all Ryan, sort of 

810
00:36:39,308 --> 00:36:41,000
Blood, Sweat, and Tears. 
He just sits there and then he 

811
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,500
tweaked some. 
Then I'll go hate to tell you 

812
00:36:43,500 --> 00:36:45,800
this buddy but there's something
that's misspelled in there and 

813
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,400
he'll go like, oh yeah, I'm on 
it. 

814
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,300
Like there's never like a man, 
I'm sorry like I can't deal with

815
00:36:50,300 --> 00:36:52,400
this right now. 
Like I've never once seen Ryan, 

816
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,500
say no and I have to imagine 
that you have the same kind of 

817
00:36:55,508 --> 00:36:58,300
attitude towards your kiddo just
because that's that's The kind 

818
00:36:58,300 --> 00:37:00,700
of guy you are like I said, 
persistence gaining inches one 

819
00:37:00,700 --> 00:37:04,200
at a time fight for everything. 
So tell folks, kind of like what

820
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,700
that look like you got a 
nine-year-old. 

821
00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:08,800
Now, what did you guys spend the
last couple days doing is just 

822
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,700
kind of an uplifting way to feel
good about, you know, how dad's 

823
00:37:11,700 --> 00:37:13,800
can can really put it together 
for the kiddos. 

824
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,200
Oh man. 
Thursday, Thursday, I picked him

825
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,200
up from his. 
I had my show at 3:00 and I got 

826
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,400
off work at 3:00 and just went 
straight. 

827
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,600
Picked him up. 
I think we went out. 

828
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,900
We went out fishing for that. 
We went out fishing on. 

829
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,200
Thursday, then we came home and 
we built. 

830
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,400
We built forts Thursday night 
and then I built like the most 

831
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,000
legendary dad cup Tower where we
are like stackin, you know, like

832
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,900
solo cops. 
I can we build Solo cups, the 

833
00:37:38,900 --> 00:37:42,100
ceiling and then we were doing 
like, you know, like the 

834
00:37:42,100 --> 00:37:43,600
ping-pong balls. 
Yep. 

835
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,400
I got like stairs. 
They come down that down the 

836
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,400
house and we set up like tiles, 
I got tiles and then we let me 

837
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,000
roll the ping pong ball and I 
like bounces from tile, to tile,

838
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,400
to tile. 
And they try to make it in, like

839
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,300
the Solo Cup. 
That's what we do a lot. 

840
00:37:54,300 --> 00:37:56,600
But so, Thursday night was just 
a basically, like Dad's hanging 

841
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,200
out night. 
A I had to do my, I had to do my

842
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,100
show on Friday, so I had to do 
my show. 

843
00:38:03,100 --> 00:38:06,800
So we got up in the morning, we 
went out, got breakfast, went, 

844
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,900
and I forget what he wanted, he 
wanted to get like a stuffed 

845
00:38:08,900 --> 00:38:10,400
animal. 
So when got a stuffed animal, 

846
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,000
that came back home and I did my
show then after my show is like,

847
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,200
well what do you want to do, 
too? 

848
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,500
And I think was a crappy Arena 
and out needs it, can we go to? 

849
00:38:17,500 --> 00:38:19,700
We go to Sky Zone? 
And I think I'll man Sky Zone's 

850
00:38:19,700 --> 00:38:20,900
boring. 
Like we go there all the time 

851
00:38:20,900 --> 00:38:22,300
because they're a cooler 
trampoline parks. 

852
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:23,700
We get we got online and we 
found this. 

853
00:38:23,700 --> 00:38:26,300
Other Trampoline Park 
out-and-out Milford. 

854
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,800
That's called defy and it's like
the ultimate Sky Zone and he's 

855
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,400
got trampoline pits. 
Everything we got there, 

856
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:36,400
probably probably 4:00 stayed 
there till 9:00 that night. 

857
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,100
Saturday morning, woke up, went 
out got breakfast. 

858
00:38:39,100 --> 00:38:40,800
Actually I made him pancakes and
breakfast. 

859
00:38:41,100 --> 00:38:45,300
Then we went into the pool from 
12 to 3 and then at 3:00, he's 

860
00:38:45,300 --> 00:38:46,200
like, what are we going to do 
now? 

861
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:47,400
Dad, look, what do you 
understand? 

862
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,300
Can we go back to defy as a? 
All right, cool? 

863
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,200
What went back to defy got there
at about 4:00 4:30 and then we 

864
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:54,800
stayed there. 
Till basically, at 9:00 at night

865
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,700
9:30, when grab some pizza, on 
the way home, Came home, 

866
00:38:58,700 --> 00:39:01,400
probably built some more Forts 
and then Sunday. 

867
00:39:02,900 --> 00:39:05,700
Sunday, so Sunday I had a record
because I was going out of town,

868
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,200
so I had to wake up. 
So we came home that night. 

869
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,200
I went to bed and then I woke up
the next morning at 5:30 in the 

870
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:12,800
morning. 
So I can start, pre-recording my

871
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,700
shows, had pre-recorded, both 
shows, had those edited by about

872
00:39:15,700 --> 00:39:20,500
noon and was back at defy again 
on Sunday from probably probably

873
00:39:20,500 --> 00:39:23,500
two or three PM all the way till
about 7:00 or 8:00 at night, and

874
00:39:23,508 --> 00:39:26,600
then I was on a flight Monday 
morning at 9 a.m., right? 

875
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,700
So lots of jumping around on 
these, these trampoline parks, I

876
00:39:30,700 --> 00:39:31,900
you send me some of the pictures
of it. 

877
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,700
It and it looks like maybe an 
EDM type Festival there. 

878
00:39:34,700 --> 00:39:37,600
They're gonna lot of, they've 
got a lot of like, a black 

879
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,600
lights and stuff like that. 
Is he working on any kind of 

880
00:39:40,607 --> 00:39:42,600
skill sets or what do you even 
do when you're there, you're 

881
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,300
just watching your kid fly 
through the air and trying to 

882
00:39:45,500 --> 00:39:47,700
not to panic that he's going to 
run into other kiddos or what 

883
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,600
man they got like the this new 
ones really sweet. 

884
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,900
So they have like the Gladiator.
You know how they get like the 

885
00:39:54,900 --> 00:39:58,100
like the jab sticks? 
They have these giant float up. 

886
00:39:58,100 --> 00:40:01,000
It's like a blow-up battle 
sticks, you know and they have 

887
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,000
like the balance beam. 
And on both sides of the balance

888
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,100
beam, is the foam pit? 
So like that's his new thing 

889
00:40:05,100 --> 00:40:07,400
like trying to battle the bigger
kids, you know, like the 10 and 

890
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,400
12 year olds. 
Can you take him out and he's 

891
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,900
getting like good like where he 
learns like go up and like Jew 

892
00:40:11,900 --> 00:40:14,200
come out and then come back down
like sweep down with the legs 

893
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,000
and like take them out. 
So just didn't he goes out with 

894
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,500
his buddies a lot. 
So he's got his buddy brain and 

895
00:40:20,500 --> 00:40:21,800
that also goes up there all the 
time. 

896
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,400
So he will meet up with his 
buddies and I'll kind of hang 

897
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,400
out with the other parents and 
we'll sit there and watch. 

898
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,500
The place is so big. 
You can't keep up. 

899
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,400
I can I can only jump for like 
an hour or two hours. 

900
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,200
And I'm sorry, dude. 
I'm burnt out later. 

901
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,800
Good. 
Just goes and runs around. 

902
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,800
It's crazy. 
Yeah, and while he's got, he's 

903
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,400
nine, he's so he's got basically
like a nuclear energy Factory 

904
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,200
Building inside his body. 
As long as you feed him some 

905
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:44,700
sugar, I'd never know. 
I could beat him sugar yet. 

906
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,800
As long as he's got calories, 
they don't run out. 

907
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,900
Never runs out of energy. 
So somebody in the chat, just 

908
00:40:51,900 --> 00:40:54,800
mentioned mr. 
Kennedy 321 said something about

909
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,600
how you've taught him 
everything. 

910
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,000
He knows about editing and 
making promo videos and all 

911
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,500
kinds of things about crypto. 
And so there, some of your folks

912
00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:03,700
that follow Are obviously 
joining us today and that's 

913
00:41:03,700 --> 00:41:05,000
cool. 
I'm curious. 

914
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,400
If you can kind of share, you 
talked about building up a 

915
00:41:07,408 --> 00:41:09,600
business. 
I did something very similar 

916
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:13,700
when it comes to the U2 or to 
the, to the eBay version and 

917
00:41:13,700 --> 00:41:16,100
then I dropped out of it. 
I was like, oh, this is not good

918
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:18,800
and I'm not good at it and so I 
walked away with it, you stayed 

919
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,600
persistent, you grew into an 
actual business. 

920
00:41:20,900 --> 00:41:23,600
Got destroyed by circumstances 
in many ways because like so 

921
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:28,500
many people sort of the covid 
lockdowns and and the supply 

922
00:41:28,500 --> 00:41:30,100
chain interruptions really 
destroyed. 

923
00:41:30,100 --> 00:41:33,000
What you had built up and then 
that didn't slow you down. 

924
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,800
You just straight pivoted to a 
completely new thing. 

925
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,600
And you ever done audio video or
audio video and editing and and 

926
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,900
software that handle like Adobe.
Have you ever done that before 

927
00:41:42,900 --> 00:41:44,900
that time? 
Was it part of your experience? 

928
00:41:45,900 --> 00:41:50,100
Well, there was a point where I 
had met my ex-girlfriend at the 

929
00:41:50,100 --> 00:41:52,000
time who was a famous Instagram 
model. 

930
00:41:52,100 --> 00:41:55,600
When I was doing the EDM 
clothing line, I met her two, I 

931
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,700
hired her when she had, like I 
think like 10,000 followers on 

932
00:41:58,700 --> 00:42:03,600
Instagram and then with Within a
month of our shoot, she had like

933
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,200
a hundred thousand. 
Hmm. 

934
00:42:06,100 --> 00:42:08,800
But she she had a boyfriend at 
the time and then broke up and 

935
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,800
it was like a month later. 
I hired her to come to another 

936
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,900
shoot, she didn't have a 
boyfriend, we hung out, we hit 

937
00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:17,300
it off and then So, it was 
working with her growing her 

938
00:42:17,300 --> 00:42:19,300
social media knowing that I 
needed. 

939
00:42:19,300 --> 00:42:22,200
And when you're doing clothing 
and you're launching like 100 

940
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,800
products a month, you need six 
different photos of each piece 

941
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,400
of clothing. 
You need a skinny girl, a 

942
00:42:28,408 --> 00:42:30,700
heavier girl, you know, you like
the battery that you can present

943
00:42:30,700 --> 00:42:33,900
your product, the better that 
the better, the odds are that 

944
00:42:33,900 --> 00:42:38,300
somebody's gonna want to buy it.
And so, yeah, I just I started 

945
00:42:38,300 --> 00:42:40,300
working with her and she was 
really, really big into social 

946
00:42:40,300 --> 00:42:42,100
media. 
She started taking me around to 

947
00:42:42,100 --> 00:42:46,800
do to go to photo shoots with 
Legendary that's how I met Rob 

948
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,200
Hall is one of the most famous 
photographers and videographers 

949
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,300
in the state of Michigan is one 
of my really good buddies now. 

950
00:42:51,700 --> 00:42:54,300
So I got to go just travel with 
all and work with the best of 

951
00:42:54,300 --> 00:42:56,200
the best because she was really 
pretty shitty. 

952
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,800
Lot of followers that would get 
the photographer's a lot of 

953
00:42:58,808 --> 00:43:00,300
attention. 
So they wanted to shoot with her

954
00:43:00,300 --> 00:43:04,300
for free, just so that she would
tag them in photos that she 

955
00:43:04,300 --> 00:43:06,400
posted. 
So, I got to go get a lot of 

956
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,400
one-on-one work with all these 
photographers. 

957
00:43:08,700 --> 00:43:11,100
And then from there, it was 
like, oh well, I need this promo

958
00:43:11,300 --> 00:43:15,000
for my, I need promos to for my 
clothing line and again, just 

959
00:43:15,100 --> 00:43:17,200
You know, been a trying to start
your own business. 

960
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,300
You got to save save money where
you can save money. 

961
00:43:19,300 --> 00:43:23,000
It was either I can find out how
to make this promo myself and 

962
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,400
make it or I can pay it 200 to 
300 bucks. 

963
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,800
Well, 300 bucks at the time was 
a new product. 

964
00:43:27,900 --> 00:43:30,100
You know, I could probably 
launch a product with about 500 

965
00:43:30,500 --> 00:43:33,300
silver, 500 bucks, I can either 
edit my own promo or I can 

966
00:43:33,300 --> 00:43:35,100
launch another product that 
products going to generate any 

967
00:43:35,100 --> 00:43:36,600
money. 
So everywhere I needed to save 

968
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,300
money, I was willing to figure 
it out and that's how I became 

969
00:43:39,300 --> 00:43:43,500
really good at these. 
What, what sort of training did 

970
00:43:43,500 --> 00:43:45,900
you have to do in order to get 
competent because some of the 

971
00:43:45,908 --> 00:43:47,600
stuff like, folks have you seen 
our outro? 

972
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,900
You've seen the, the way that 
the intro is built up like, 

973
00:43:49,900 --> 00:43:52,700
Ryan's building these out of out
of whole cloth, he's taken, you 

974
00:43:52,707 --> 00:43:55,400
know, existing templates and and
plugging in what we want. 

975
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,400
If I go, hey man, could it could
do to do this instead or can we 

976
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,200
have a plane flying in? 
And we've got a couple of you 

977
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,100
haven't seen yet but he's got 
motion videos and he's got all 

978
00:44:03,100 --> 00:44:07,100
these like really really 
capable, really professional 

979
00:44:07,100 --> 00:44:11,100
level pieces and it sounds like 
you spun this up in about. 

980
00:44:11,100 --> 00:44:13,400
At two years and your 
capabilities like that didn't 

981
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,100
exist two years ago. 
So no I didn't what sort of 

982
00:44:16,100 --> 00:44:17,900
training where you going through
to get this stuff done because I

983
00:44:17,900 --> 00:44:20,300
think that's also a barrier for 
a lot of people just knowing 

984
00:44:20,300 --> 00:44:22,800
that they're looking at a vast 
skill set that they don't have 

985
00:44:23,300 --> 00:44:24,700
you got to pick it up piece by 
piece. 

986
00:44:24,700 --> 00:44:30,100
Where did you go to do that? 
So at one point in my spare time

987
00:44:30,100 --> 00:44:33,900
of being in like the limbo 
between between jobs and working

988
00:44:33,900 --> 00:44:38,500
and you know, traveling with the
ex-girlfriend and I was I was 

989
00:44:38,500 --> 00:44:41,200
making these promos and I was 
going to start a YouTube channel

990
00:44:41,300 --> 00:44:43,300
and my buddy. 
Rob Hall did the photographer 

991
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,600
photography stuff and he was 
asking I was teaching him stuff 

992
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,300
in Premiere Pro and he's like 
dude you should you should teach

993
00:44:48,300 --> 00:44:51,000
them make tutorials at teaching 
this Premiere Pro self and 

994
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:52,600
after-effects. 
You're really good at this. 

995
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,600
So yes, the good idea, you know.
So then I just I started trying 

996
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,400
to teach it and trying to make 
tutorials on them and upload 

997
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:00,400
them to YouTube. 
That's where mr. 

998
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:01,700
Kennedy was over here in the 
live chat. 

999
00:45:01,700 --> 00:45:03,600
Like yeah, you got these 
tutorials up on YouTube. 

1000
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,900
So I got up. 
I don't like, you know, 20 or 30

1001
00:45:05,900 --> 00:45:08,100
tutorials. 
And it was just again, just 

1002
00:45:08,100 --> 00:45:10,400
teaching yourself, right? 
Just watching YouTube videos, 

1003
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:14,500
Long, Day's long nights, trial 
errors off work. 

1004
00:45:15,100 --> 00:45:17,600
A lot of work, so you were doing
trial and error and you were 

1005
00:45:17,900 --> 00:45:20,300
trying to teach it by by 
learning it. 

1006
00:45:20,300 --> 00:45:22,800
And then teaching what you had 
learned, that's sort of the 

1007
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,800
classic method I guess to of how
things always got done. 

1008
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,600
Its How do I need to do it? 
You know, Innovation being 

1009
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,300
necessary for you to be able to 
continue it. 

1010
00:45:31,300 --> 00:45:33,900
And the cost-benefit it was 
like, you had the five, you had 

1011
00:45:33,900 --> 00:45:36,300
the hours, but you didn't have 
the $500 kind of deal. 

1012
00:45:36,500 --> 00:45:38,200
And so you're willing to invest 
your time. 

1013
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,200
How many, how many hundreds of 
hours you think you've invested 

1014
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,400
in crafting? 
The sort of skill set to get to 

1015
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:49,300
a level that's professional? 
I think there is one week and it

1016
00:45:49,300 --> 00:45:50,500
and people don't believe me 
that. 

1017
00:45:50,500 --> 00:45:53,000
I slept like, maybe, like 14 
hours. 

1018
00:45:53,500 --> 00:45:56,300
There was a time where I was 
working, 20 hours a day, almost 

1019
00:45:56,300 --> 00:45:57,400
seven days a week. 
One night. 

1020
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,400
I might get 18 hours the next 16
than 120. 

1021
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,200
Then I only make it three hours.
It's like, I honestly, I could 

1022
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,200
not tell you hundreds. 
I was like a zombie. 

1023
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,600
I mean, there was one point 
where I was pre scooping, how is

1024
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,200
dry scooping pre-workout to 
drive to college? 

1025
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:13,700
Because I was falling asleep at 
the wheel. 

1026
00:46:13,700 --> 00:46:16,200
I was working so much and going 
to school and being a father. 

1027
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:17,500
That's something we in touch on 
either. 

1028
00:46:17,500 --> 00:46:20,100
That was really interesting that
was when my son was like one to 

1029
00:46:20,100 --> 00:46:21,600
three hours ago. 
I go to school and get a good 

1030
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,600
job. 
Get a college degree, my work 

1031
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,600
was gonna pay for it. 
So I ended up going to college 

1032
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,600
to and taking full time 16 
credit hours on top of working 

1033
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,000
like 60 or 70 hours a week. 
And but that was when I was 

1034
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,700
having the supervised visit. 
So, you know, I had a lot of 

1035
00:46:33,707 --> 00:46:37,600
time to go to school because you
were cut down from seeing your 

1036
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,000
kiddo. 
What dumb, what were you 

1037
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,300
studying? 
What did you go to study? 

1038
00:46:41,100 --> 00:46:44,800
I was I got my associates in 
industrial manufacturing 

1039
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,700
engineering. 
What was the mindset behind 

1040
00:46:47,700 --> 00:46:50,000
that? 
What was the, the goal, the goal

1041
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,300
was, I was a controls engineer 
at Thai Summit and I was taking 

1042
00:46:52,300 --> 00:46:55,600
like their Apprentice program 
and that was one of like to get 

1043
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,500
like that next level pay, you 
had to have, you know, these 

1044
00:46:58,500 --> 00:47:00,700
classes and all this stuff but 
they didn't make you have a 

1045
00:47:00,707 --> 00:47:03,200
degree just was a specific set 
amount of classes. 

1046
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,100
And I had taken so many of the 
classes that it just made sense 

1047
00:47:06,100 --> 00:47:08,000
to go and just get off to, you 
know, get the degree. 

1048
00:47:09,100 --> 00:47:12,200
What do you think about is there
such a thing as it's good 

1049
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,000
enough? 
I'm just going to walk away or 

1050
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,400
do you have a mindset that you 
have to continue? 

1051
00:47:16,900 --> 00:47:19,800
Is there is there a Perfection 
that you're always striving for 

1052
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,300
when you see something like your
crafting? 

1053
00:47:22,500 --> 00:47:26,200
You know, if you you the type of
person that pulls their car to 

1054
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,300
the garage washes, their car 
puts it back in the garage and 

1055
00:47:29,300 --> 00:47:31,000
sees that yet. 
You miss the spot and goes oh, 

1056
00:47:31,008 --> 00:47:31,800
well. 
Good enough. 

1057
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:33,300
No, he'll know you pull that car
out. 

1058
00:47:33,300 --> 00:47:34,900
You'll wash that spot. 
You get it done? 

1059
00:47:34,900 --> 00:47:36,500
You do it done and get it done, 
right? 

1060
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,400
Period. 
Never never put something off 

1061
00:47:39,500 --> 00:47:40,900
for tomorrow that you can do 
today. 

1062
00:47:41,500 --> 00:47:43,700
Those are just great. 
Great philosophies are great 

1063
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,600
great quotes but you know, I 
don't always live by them, but I

1064
00:47:46,607 --> 00:47:49,400
try to like, why why put 
something off for tomorrow that 

1065
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,400
you can get done today? 
Just do it, get it over with, 

1066
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,300
because you can only make so 
many logical decisions in a day.

1067
00:47:55,100 --> 00:47:57,000
There's there's times where, 
like, the other night when I was

1068
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,200
editing your video. 
I'm literally sitting here with 

1069
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,500
one eye, because I see double I 
get so tired that I start seeing

1070
00:48:02,500 --> 00:48:04,200
double vision. 
So I'll just like, literally sit

1071
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,900
here and put one eye one hand on
my eye and I call ya like Yeah, 

1072
00:48:07,900 --> 00:48:10,600
dude, Serafin, spelt wrong, is 
that, is that Premiere Pro Das 

1073
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,400
Auto doing that and I was like, 
yeah, it is, but it was really. 

1074
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,900
I tried to edit that, I caught 
it, that it's spelt it wrong, 

1075
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:17,800
but I'm over here, like this, 
like one in the morning I've 

1076
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:21,600
been up for like 17 or 18 hours 
straight and I didn't catch it a

1077
00:48:21,607 --> 00:48:26,300
second time, it's brutal. 
Yeah, I feel like there's very 

1078
00:48:26,300 --> 00:48:29,800
few people that I deal with that
do the same thing, and I often 

1079
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,400
find myself up till midnight or 
later, and then I'm back up in 

1080
00:48:32,408 --> 00:48:35,300
the morning at, you know, 5:00 
5:30 or whatever, doing the same

1081
00:48:35,300 --> 00:48:38,000
thing. 
But part of it is because Has of

1082
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,400
the work ethic and I think you 
touched on that a little bit 

1083
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,600
part of it is because there's a 
sense of imminence about what's 

1084
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,400
going on in our country right 
now. 

1085
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,400
And you and I have talked about 
that privately, maybe kind of 

1086
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,700
share with people what you've 
been seeing from. 

1087
00:48:50,700 --> 00:48:52,000
You know, everybody has a 
different perspective, 

1088
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,100
everybody's got a different sort
of lens on America and you've 

1089
00:48:55,100 --> 00:48:57,800
also been able to travel a lot 
and see some things differently 

1090
00:48:58,100 --> 00:49:00,500
going to political rallies and 
kind of jumping into this sort 

1091
00:49:00,500 --> 00:49:04,200
of audio and video space. 
So what are you saying? 

1092
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:05,500
What are the things that most 
concern you? 

1093
00:49:05,500 --> 00:49:07,000
What are the things that you 
just said yesterday you were 

1094
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,900
getting more Hopeful what's 
making you more hopeful on the 

1095
00:49:09,900 --> 00:49:11,500
last two, or three years that 
you've been watching? 

1096
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,600
So what's making me more hopeful
is, is number one seeing the 

1097
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:19,900
amount of people that are waking
up and really realizing what 

1098
00:49:19,900 --> 00:49:22,300
happened in 2020. 
If you're like me, you weren't 

1099
00:49:22,300 --> 00:49:24,800
big enough politics back. 
Then, I remember I remember when

1100
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,400
Trump lost and I remember going 
to the barbershop, like the next

1101
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,900
day and my barber's are Subic. 
I like the Hat, the Trump hats 

1102
00:49:30,900 --> 00:49:34,300
hanging a mega stuff hanging all
over and I go. 

1103
00:49:34,300 --> 00:49:36,100
Yeah, you guys really think that
they actually rigged the 

1104
00:49:36,100 --> 00:49:37,500
election that you're watching on
Fox News. 

1105
00:49:37,700 --> 00:49:39,800
Talking about, you know, ballots
being found our guy mean 

1106
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:41,800
something's thumbs up and like 
you really think they could 

1107
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:46,000
actually rigged the election. 
Like they I was just so blind 

1108
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,200
then you know? 
Just so I really understand how 

1109
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:52,500
people that have been in 
politics like the last 7 or 10 

1110
00:49:52,500 --> 00:49:54,600
years. 
Like this is all they do they 

1111
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,000
have a completely different 
perspective on reality than I 

1112
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,400
think most people out there like
I honestly I was playing 

1113
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,100
Fortnight this is probably like 
I don't know four or five months

1114
00:50:02,100 --> 00:50:05,700
ago and I and I happened to 
bring up something to like they 

1115
00:50:05,700 --> 00:50:07,200
were guys are my age now they 
guide you guys here. 

1116
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,000
Whats Go on, like they said 
their New York or something. 

1117
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:10,300
I mean, you guys hear what's 
going on in there with the 

1118
00:50:10,300 --> 00:50:11,600
vaccine? 
Like, no, I go. 

1119
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,700
You guys know the vaccine was, 
you know, most likely a deadly 

1120
00:50:14,700 --> 00:50:17,700
bio weapon, right? 
No like oh, you know, Joe 

1121
00:50:17,700 --> 00:50:21,100
Biden's entire family's getting 
investigated for crimes, you 

1122
00:50:21,100 --> 00:50:22,500
know, that they're trying to 
charge Trump for right? 

1123
00:50:22,500 --> 00:50:25,100
And they know like so there's 
people out there that have no, 

1124
00:50:25,100 --> 00:50:27,500
they're completely oblivious to 
what's going on. 

1125
00:50:28,300 --> 00:50:33,100
So that seeing how many people 
that I've heard in the last 

1126
00:50:33,100 --> 00:50:34,900
couple weeks to say, they 
weren't big enough politics or 

1127
00:50:34,900 --> 00:50:36,900
the last couple months that 
weren't big enough politics but 

1128
00:50:36,900 --> 00:50:38,800
now they're awake. 
Are people saying I used to be a

1129
00:50:38,808 --> 00:50:40,600
Democrat? 
I can't or people saying, I 

1130
00:50:40,607 --> 00:50:42,800
can't believe I call it comes 
called myself a Democrat. 

1131
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,800
And then the last three Trump 
events that I went to barely, 

1132
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,600
anybody showed up because people
are so afraid to go out and 

1133
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,200
protest and make their voices 
heard because of what happened 

1134
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,800
to the January Sixers. 
But this last Trump rally that 

1135
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:59,400
we went to seeing every I mean 
thousands of media Outlets tens 

1136
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,500
of thousands of people down 
there, it was awesome. 

1137
00:51:02,700 --> 00:51:05,600
The Republican party is getting 
its balls back or starting to 

1138
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,500
not be afraid. 
We understand that. 

1139
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,100
We have to be very careful 
because of how they manipulate. 

1140
00:51:10,100 --> 00:51:12,300
There's going to be provocateurs
is going to be antifa. 

1141
00:51:12,300 --> 00:51:14,700
There's going to be undercover 
feds, most likely dressed as 

1142
00:51:14,700 --> 00:51:17,100
Trump supporters. 
Trying to start start crap. 

1143
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:21,000
So to be very, very careful, but
I think it's just, it was just 

1144
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,700
refreshing seeing so many people
coming out because I think it's 

1145
00:51:23,700 --> 00:51:25,500
going to come to a point where 
we have to March. 

1146
00:51:25,500 --> 00:51:27,200
We have to stand up. 
Nobody ever. 

1147
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:28,800
Relinquishes power. 
I think that's George. 

1148
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:33,600
Orwell, quote, No Authority ever
acquires, you know, power with 

1149
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,300
plans to relinquish it. 
Yep. 

1150
00:51:36,100 --> 00:51:39,100
So all these things As you know,
you're traveling around and then

1151
00:51:39,100 --> 00:51:41,000
you're coming back in and then 
you've got a, you know, touch 

1152
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:44,200
base with your son and talk to 
him about what, you know, what 

1153
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,700
Dad's doing, what Dad seeing 
where Dad's been? 

1154
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:51,100
What do you, what do you tell 
him about? 

1155
00:51:51,100 --> 00:51:52,300
You know what, you're seeing in 
the world? 

1156
00:51:52,300 --> 00:51:54,300
What you're spending your time 
doing and how much does he 

1157
00:51:54,300 --> 00:51:58,100
understand of it at his age? 
You know, that's a, that's a 

1158
00:51:58,100 --> 00:52:00,100
really big battle idea. 
What everyday Kyle. 

1159
00:52:00,300 --> 00:52:04,300
I really do. 
You want to protect your kid and

1160
00:52:04,300 --> 00:52:08,100
you want your kid to enjoy 
growing up being a child, right?

1161
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,100
You don't want him to have to 
try to be an adult before he 

1162
00:52:10,100 --> 00:52:12,000
should be. 
You want him to enjoy life? 

1163
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,000
You want to be happy and think 
that the world is an amazing 

1164
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,000
place because it could be, you 
know? 

1165
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:20,900
So I have really hard time 
because he's nine because I am 

1166
00:52:20,900 --> 00:52:25,600
vaccinated and I might drop dead
at any second, I'm always living

1167
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:30,000
with that. 
I have to kind of teach him 

1168
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,900
what's happening in the world. 
Like he I it's like how do you 

1169
00:52:32,900 --> 00:52:36,800
explain to a child that that a 
rainbow is something that a 

1170
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,200
child would think is cool and 
pretty and you see in the sky is

1171
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:44,600
now turning into a symbol of a 
satanic call that worships the 

1172
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,200
devil. 
How do you how do you tell your 

1173
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:51,900
son? 
That that doctors are not 

1174
00:52:51,900 --> 00:52:55,400
actually looking out for your 
best interest or might not be 

1175
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,700
how do you tell your son that 
you know, these Vaccines that 

1176
00:52:58,700 --> 00:53:02,000
they injected into his father is
most likely a deadly bio weapon 

1177
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,100
designed to castrate me or 
completely kill me. 

1178
00:53:05,300 --> 00:53:09,200
These are all conversation today
that I don't have, but I do have

1179
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,100
in the same kind of way, like, 
he understands that he'll never 

1180
00:53:11,100 --> 00:53:14,200
have to get another vaccine. 
And if any doctor teacher, or 

1181
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,800
his mother ever, tries to, to 
put a needle in his arm and 

1182
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,900
needs to immediately contact me 
and demand that they contact me 

1183
00:53:20,900 --> 00:53:22,900
because in Michigan's against 
the law, they can't do that 

1184
00:53:22,900 --> 00:53:27,200
without the father's consent in.
It's such a different world than

1185
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,100
what you and I grew up. 
Ooh, up in though and that's the

1186
00:53:29,100 --> 00:53:31,300
thing, and I know we're roughly 
the same age bracket. 

1187
00:53:31,300 --> 00:53:35,300
So, you know, there was kind of 
a period And I don't know if it 

1188
00:53:35,300 --> 00:53:37,600
was because we almost got there 
and that's why they had to fight

1189
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,500
it back. 
They being whoever it is, that's

1190
00:53:39,500 --> 00:53:41,800
fighting this culture war, that 
started this, the cultural 

1191
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,300
marxists the leftist. 
Hmm. 

1192
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,800
But, you know, these were not 
concerns when I was growing up. 

1193
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:47,600
I don't think they were 
concerns. 

1194
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:49,500
When you were growing up, they 
weren't even on the, it's like 

1195
00:53:49,500 --> 00:53:51,200
the doctor said something. 
It's because doctors know what's

1196
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,700
going on. 
None, if the people that were 

1197
00:53:53,700 --> 00:53:56,400
running for office, they cared 
about our country, they discreet

1198
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,000
about policy, who cares, It 
didn't matter to us. 

1199
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,000
And then in the meantime, you've
got people getting set up now, 

1200
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,600
by the FBI, you got my little 
kids who you know, I've got a 

1201
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,000
six-year-old and she goes out to
the playground and tell people. 

1202
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,200
Yeah, Daddy didn't want to get 
shot and that's why he lost his 

1203
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:11,800
job and that's why the FBI might
come get him. 

1204
00:54:12,100 --> 00:54:14,000
Yes. 
Like, like, what is this 

1205
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,400
six-year-old? 
Do we talking about that? 

1206
00:54:16,500 --> 00:54:19,200
There's something really crazy. 
There's something really off. 

1207
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,400
People have said it, a bunch of 
times in the chat. 

1208
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,200
They've been mentioning it over 
and over again about how, how, 

1209
00:54:24,700 --> 00:54:26,400
you know good times made weak 
men. 

1210
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,400
And and now it's Taken men like 
you doing the things that you're

1211
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,200
doing working yourself to the 
Bone. 

1212
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,500
And, you know, I know that I 
think even from the time that 

1213
00:54:33,500 --> 00:54:37,000
you and I started talking my 
eyes have bags underneath them. 

1214
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,200
Now that they can have six 
months ago. 

1215
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:41,100
I do. 
And you're getting there too. 

1216
00:54:41,100 --> 00:54:43,300
It's like there's only so much 
time, so much stress you can put

1217
00:54:43,300 --> 00:54:46,700
on the human body, right? 
But what choice do you have if 

1218
00:54:46,700 --> 00:54:48,400
you want your children to grow 
up in a world, that was even 

1219
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,500
close to what we grew up in, 
which was so Carefree 

1220
00:54:51,500 --> 00:54:53,800
comparatively. 
You know, it's crazy. 

1221
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,000
As my parents raised me with the
mindset of go to school, get a 

1222
00:54:57,008 --> 00:54:58,800
good job, become a doctor, 
become a lawyer. 

1223
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:00,300
I think, at the time it was a, 
they want to become a 

1224
00:55:00,300 --> 00:55:01,900
veterinarian. 
I make so much money. 

1225
00:55:01,900 --> 00:55:04,400
Only after sacrifice, ten years 
of your life and get in 400 

1226
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:06,300
thousand dollars worth of debt, 
you know, right. 

1227
00:55:06,300 --> 00:55:08,900
Go to the go to that. 
And then my mindset really 

1228
00:55:08,900 --> 00:55:13,700
changed well like why would you 
want your kid to work? 

1229
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,600
Like I want my kid to go have 
babies like I want him to meet 

1230
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:21,500
the right girl fall in love and 
then just enjoy life. 

1231
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:22,800
You know, start his own 
business. 

1232
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,000
But just enjoy I mean I wanted 
to do whatever. 

1233
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,900
He makes him happy honestly but 
in reality I'm thinking like I 

1234
00:55:27,900 --> 00:55:30,800
want to work so my son doesn't 
ever have to do what I'm doing 

1235
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,000
right now? 
My son doesn't ever have to work

1236
00:55:33,100 --> 00:55:36,400
because the American dream was a
man a single man could come over

1237
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,600
to America and with nothing but 
a work ethic. 

1238
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,300
And if he was willing to hump 
block or hump you know work his 

1239
00:55:42,300 --> 00:55:45,800
ass off, he could feed a family 
of five, a one man could support

1240
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:49,100
a family of five working 40 
hours a week and if he were to 

1241
00:55:49,100 --> 00:55:52,600
do anything over time, double 
time, nobody worked on Sunday. 

1242
00:55:52,900 --> 00:55:55,400
I mean even the slaves had 
Sundays off right? 

1243
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:59,100
And now look at us the slaves 
had Sundays off. 

1244
00:55:59,500 --> 00:56:01,100
When's the last time you had a 
Sunday off? 

1245
00:56:01,100 --> 00:56:03,100
Kyle like that? 
You didn't actually I mean 

1246
00:56:03,100 --> 00:56:05,900
obviously you probably do but 
like I mean it's just crazy to 

1247
00:56:05,900 --> 00:56:07,400
me. 
I can't tell you the last time I

1248
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:11,800
just sat down on the couch and 
watch TV the probably six years 

1249
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:13,800
maybe longer than that maybe 
yeah. 

1250
00:56:13,900 --> 00:56:16,200
If I do it it's after 9:00 a.m. 
you know and it's like get a 

1251
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,500
little bit of time and I'm 
taking it out of my sleep so I 

1252
00:56:18,500 --> 00:56:20,600
can spend a few minutes 
connecting on some you know 

1253
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:21,700
piece of Pop Culture with my 
wife. 

1254
00:56:21,700 --> 00:56:24,000
So that's that's all See, not 
very common anymore. 

1255
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,600
I actually had far more Sundays 
off when I worked for the 

1256
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,400
government. 
If that tells you anything, one 

1257
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:32,000
of the these jobs that the, you 
know, the FBI self-proclaimed to

1258
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,400
be, you know, this hardest most 
honorable thing to go do, it's 

1259
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,000
like I had a really good gig. 
You know, when I kicked off, 

1260
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,300
when I left work, I left work 
behind and I know that you don't

1261
00:56:41,300 --> 00:56:44,600
like, we never leave work behind
now, it's never gone. 

1262
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:46,200
It's always in the background. 
So even if you're doing 

1263
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,600
something else, it's always 
gnawing at you like what's the 

1264
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:51,400
opportunity cost of this? 
And the only time I'm able to 

1265
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:52,700
put it away as when I'm sitting 
with my kids. 

1266
00:56:52,900 --> 00:56:54,600
Toes. 
And I put my phone away where I 

1267
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:56,000
leave it somewhere else, even 
better? 

1268
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,200
Yeah, nobody could reach me 
anyway and so that I can go and 

1269
00:56:59,207 --> 00:57:01,100
sit down and play Tic-Tac-Toe 
with my, you know, my two 

1270
00:57:01,100 --> 00:57:02,300
daughters that are old enough to
play. 

1271
00:57:02,300 --> 00:57:04,700
And, and that kind of thing, 
that's the only way that I can 

1272
00:57:04,700 --> 00:57:09,300
disconnect from any of this 
stuff, which is its It's like, I

1273
00:57:09,300 --> 00:57:12,300
just try to bake every time I 
spend with my son, I try to make

1274
00:57:12,300 --> 00:57:14,100
a memory. 
That's going to last a lifetime,

1275
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,300
right? 
Whether that's going fishing or,

1276
00:57:16,500 --> 00:57:19,700
or waking him up at 3:00 in the 
morning because it's, you know, 

1277
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,200
thunderstorm and it's hot. 
And there's this, you know, the 

1278
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:24,400
hills all muddy. 
So we can go run out in the mud 

1279
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,700
at two in the morning and slide 
down the hill or, you know, 

1280
00:57:26,700 --> 00:57:28,800
there's a snowstorm coming in 
and I know he's not going to 

1281
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:30,100
have school. 
So I drive all the way out to 

1282
00:57:30,100 --> 00:57:32,600
his mom's house and then pick 
him up and then drive another 

1283
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:34,500
hour to the Snow Hill. 
And we get to the Snow Hill at 

1284
00:57:34,500 --> 00:57:36,300
like 5:00 in the morning. 
When all the kids are just 

1285
00:57:36,300 --> 00:57:38,200
starting to show up because 
school got cancelled. 

1286
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:42,100
We got the best sleds, you know,
and it's those little things 

1287
00:57:42,100 --> 00:57:44,600
that I always just look back on.
And I'm like, every day I want, 

1288
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:46,600
I want to make a memory. 
That's going to last a lifetime 

1289
00:57:46,700 --> 00:57:49,600
because I might not be here for 
much longer, you know, that that

1290
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:51,800
they're saying that vaccine was 
designed to kill almost 

1291
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:55,000
everybody within five years, 
whether they come out with a 

1292
00:57:55,008 --> 00:57:58,200
cure is Pfizer, going to buy a 
pad and is the world, you know, 

1293
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,600
as my heart just going to stop. 
I look at all these football 

1294
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,600
players that were out there and 
I think of how great they must 

1295
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,600
have felt if they're out there 
on the field playing a football 

1296
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:08,900
game and then all of a sudden, 
30, Seconds later. 

1297
00:58:10,500 --> 00:58:13,300
So that I could feel like a 
million bucks right now and just

1298
00:58:13,300 --> 00:58:16,900
Keel over tomorrow. 
Yeah, that, that is a, that's a 

1299
00:58:16,900 --> 00:58:20,700
crazy burden to run around with 
and I I don't appreciate it 

1300
00:58:20,700 --> 00:58:24,300
nearly as much, I guess. 
You know, go ahead. 

1301
00:58:24,900 --> 00:58:27,400
I was gonna say I would almost 
have cancer rather have cancer. 

1302
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,000
And as no, then having, you know
what I'm saying. 

1303
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,500
Because I would be sitting here 
recording videos and writing 

1304
00:58:32,500 --> 00:58:35,700
letters to my son rather than 
I'm just gonna all of a sudden 

1305
00:58:35,700 --> 00:58:38,300
Keel over from a heart attack at
any given second, God forbid, 

1306
00:58:38,300 --> 00:58:40,800
I'm driving with my son. 
That's, that's hard. 

1307
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:42,700
It's tough to. 
It's a tough pill to swallow to 

1308
00:58:42,700 --> 00:58:45,600
sit on myself. 
I do think that there's, there's

1309
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:48,200
a high probability that human 
beings have always adapted and 

1310
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:49,500
overcome. 
There are people that live 

1311
00:58:49,500 --> 00:58:51,900
inside the Cordon near Chernobyl
you know that are getting hit 

1312
00:58:51,900 --> 00:58:53,400
with radiation. 
That would kill like if you 

1313
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,500
walked into it you'd be dead if 
you stayed there for a couple 

1314
00:58:55,500 --> 00:58:57,700
hours but they grew up around 
it, they've always been in that 

1315
00:58:57,700 --> 00:58:59,900
area. 
They were born with it and and 

1316
00:58:59,900 --> 00:59:02,000
they survive. 
So human beings are infinitely 

1317
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,700
adaptable. 
We've kind of seen and so at 

1318
00:59:04,700 --> 00:59:06,800
least there's that and then 
maybe that's a little bit of a 

1319
00:59:06,808 --> 00:59:09,000
Solace. 
Like that is a, that is a dark 

1320
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,300
proposition to deal with every 
day and I know people. 

1321
00:59:11,300 --> 00:59:13,600
He's not just saying that like, 
that's, that's in Ryan's head 

1322
00:59:14,300 --> 00:59:16,300
because this has been something 
that has brought up, you know, 

1323
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,000
we don't talk about it all the 
time, but I know that it's 

1324
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,400
something that weighs on you. 
I want to, you talked a little 

1325
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:25,500
bit about the slaves didn't work
on Sundays when the US had 

1326
00:59:25,500 --> 00:59:27,500
chattel slavery, this is today's
Juneteenth. 

1327
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:29,000
I I brought that up to you 
yesterday. 

1328
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:33,600
It had you ever heard the 
holiday Juneteenth, never, do 

1329
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:35,400
you ever remember anybody 
celebrating Juneteenth? 

1330
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:38,700
No, no idea. 
I thought it was like a, like, a

1331
00:59:38,700 --> 00:59:43,600
sweet, 16 birthday or some weird
thing for trains us to tranny 

1332
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:44,200
people. 
Honestly. 

1333
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:49,200
I like that. 
So I'm going to I'm going to 

1334
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:51,400
give you kind of a quick 
background in history on on 

1335
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,400
Juneteenth from for the 
listeners, that don't know. 

1336
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:55,600
And that are, that didn't grow 
up hearing about it, which I 

1337
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:58,000
obviously did not. 
I grew up in California, I grew 

1338
00:59:58,000 --> 00:59:59,500
up in Texas. 
This I had. 

1339
00:59:59,500 --> 01:00:01,800
I heard Rumblings of Juneteenth 
when I was a kid, but it wasn't 

1340
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:06,400
something that was a big deal. 
So, Juneteenth is June, the 19th

1341
01:00:06,500 --> 01:00:09,300
at his kind of run together in 
abbreviated into a thing that is

1342
01:00:09,300 --> 01:00:11,400
called Juneteenth. 
That's the way that they phrase 

1343
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:15,000
it out. 
And so June 19th is the date in 

1344
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:19,600
1865 at the end of the Civil 
War, when 2000 Union Soldiers, 

1345
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:23,200
made it down to Galveston on the
southern coast of Texas, and 

1346
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:27,100
they came in, and they showed 
that the Emancipation 

1347
01:00:27,100 --> 01:00:29,900
Proclamation had happened to you
As prior and that all the slaves

1348
01:00:29,900 --> 01:00:32,500
were decreed to be free. 
And then they said about the 

1349
01:00:32,500 --> 01:00:36,100
busy work of releasing the 
250,000 or so slaves, that 

1350
01:00:36,100 --> 01:00:40,500
existed in the state of Texas. 
And so that's the basis of 

1351
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:42,800
Juneteenth. 
Now, it's always been kind of a 

1352
01:00:42,808 --> 01:00:46,000
Texas thing because Texas is big
on its own history. 

1353
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,000
I'll actually tell you a funny 
story when I was a kid, I was 

1354
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,800
born in California moved here. 
My mom was born and raised in 

1355
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:53,300
California. 
Grew up, went to all the schools

1356
01:00:53,300 --> 01:00:55,600
there. 
And so when she got to Texas, I 

1357
01:00:55,607 --> 01:01:00,800
was in third grade, she went to 
the To the principals and the 

1358
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,000
teachers and stuff. 
And she said, when are you guys 

1359
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:04,500
going to learn California 
history? 

1360
01:01:04,500 --> 01:01:06,100
You know, about, like the 
missions and stuff. 

1361
01:01:06,100 --> 01:01:08,100
And she didn't realize that 
every state sort of teaches 

1362
01:01:08,100 --> 01:01:09,900
their own history. 
They wouldn't all teach 

1363
01:01:09,900 --> 01:01:12,100
California history. 
It never even occurred to her, 

1364
01:01:12,700 --> 01:01:15,500
which is kind of funny. 
It's kind of charming, so she 

1365
01:01:15,500 --> 01:01:16,800
had no idea. 
She was like, why aren't they 

1366
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,500
talking about the missions up 
and down the California coast? 

1367
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:22,400
Even though we're a Texas County
Texas had its own missions, but 

1368
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:24,500
but Texas was big on teaching 
those histories, I don't even 

1369
01:01:24,500 --> 01:01:26,700
remember learning about 
Juneteenth in Texas history and 

1370
01:01:26,700 --> 01:01:29,400
I have I don't have a phone. 
A graphic memory, but I have one

1371
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:31,200
of those memories. 
Like, my parents will call me up

1372
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:33,000
and ask me about a fight they 
had when we were in fact, when I

1373
01:01:33,008 --> 01:01:35,100
was in fifth grade to try to 
figure out if I remember what 

1374
01:01:35,100 --> 01:01:37,500
the details were, and I 
generally do like that's kind 

1375
01:01:37,500 --> 01:01:40,300
of, like my curse. 
I always laugh at with my wife. 

1376
01:01:40,300 --> 01:01:42,300
I she's like, how do you even 
remember stuff like that? 

1377
01:01:42,300 --> 01:01:44,300
And I was like, well, I never 
smoked weed when I was a kid and

1378
01:01:44,308 --> 01:01:46,700
that's probably why I like, but 
part of it is just a natural 

1379
01:01:46,700 --> 01:01:47,900
gift. 
You know, we all have this thing

1380
01:01:48,300 --> 01:01:50,800
and so for whatever reason, 
that's the story of Juneteenth, 

1381
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:54,400
it was the release of slaves. 
Two years after the fact, some 

1382
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:57,500
people refer to it as black 
Independence Day that they were 

1383
01:01:57,500 --> 01:02:00,100
liberated. 
You know, across the country was

1384
01:02:00,100 --> 01:02:02,900
sort of the last outpost because
Texas was the end of the 

1385
01:02:02,900 --> 01:02:04,500
frontier at that point in many 
ways. 

1386
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:06,900
And so, getting down there and 
releasing the slaves Across 

1387
01:02:06,900 --> 01:02:08,800
America. 
So, the thought process behind 

1388
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:10,100
it. 
I think is good. 

1389
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:13,200
I think the idea that we 
celebrate, you know, one of the 

1390
01:02:13,207 --> 01:02:16,600
great atrocities in American 
history being eliminated, I 

1391
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:18,600
think that's great. 
I think that's a fantastic. 

1392
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:22,100
The problem is is the person who
did it is, such a controversial 

1393
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,500
individual on the political, 
right, that we've got this Joe 

1394
01:02:25,500 --> 01:02:29,800
Biden figure, who signed It into
a Federal holiday. 

1395
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,000
So that right now it's a I don't
know if the banks are off, but I

1396
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:33,300
know all the federal employees 
are off. 

1397
01:02:33,300 --> 01:02:36,000
So we may have some extra feds 
listing on their own time. 

1398
01:02:36,500 --> 01:02:38,400
All the guys that are our 
listeners are getting overtime 

1399
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:41,700
if they, if they're getting paid
to be to be in our chat room. 

1400
01:02:41,700 --> 01:02:46,700
Right now, you're talking about 
20 21, this got signed on, and 

1401
01:02:46,900 --> 01:02:49,100
it's to me. 
Juneteenth being signed is a 

1402
01:02:49,100 --> 01:02:51,200
Federal holiday over, some of 
the other holidays that we 

1403
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,400
should have had maybe like 
something about 9/11 would have 

1404
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,300
been timely. 
Obviously, this could have been 

1405
01:02:55,300 --> 01:02:58,000
a long time coming, but it 
almost feels like a Hillary hot 

1406
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,300
sauce. 
A handbag kind of thing kind of 

1407
01:03:00,300 --> 01:03:03,400
a pandering holiday and I'm not 
sure if that's the thing that 

1408
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:07,100
makes sense to, if it took so 
long, why did it take so long? 

1409
01:03:07,100 --> 01:03:09,400
You know, who was clamoring for 
this to be a Federal holiday 

1410
01:03:09,900 --> 01:03:12,600
that sort of thing and knowing 
that stuff and kind of hearing 

1411
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:14,500
that? 
What do you think about, you 

1412
01:03:14,500 --> 01:03:17,500
know, as a national holiday? 
Where does it fit in your, in 

1413
01:03:17,500 --> 01:03:19,600
your sphere? 
I think that, I think that 

1414
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,200
everything Joe Biden does is 
designed to trigger 

1415
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:26,000
conservatives because this is a 
topic where you say one wrong 

1416
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,100
thing in a tweet, you wake up, 
it upsets you. 

1417
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:31,600
You tweet out something racist 
or something, you know, 

1418
01:03:32,100 --> 01:03:34,600
anti-semitic, and then, boom, 
your do platformed. 

1419
01:03:34,700 --> 01:03:36,700
I feel like half of this, 
everything that they do is 

1420
01:03:36,700 --> 01:03:40,300
design to silence as many 
conservative voices as humanly 

1421
01:03:40,300 --> 01:03:42,200
possible, because we're going to
be the ones they're going to 

1422
01:03:42,207 --> 01:03:45,300
stick up and speak out about it.
And when we do, we're getting 

1423
01:03:45,300 --> 01:03:47,300
nuked off the face of the 
internet everyday everywhere. 

1424
01:03:47,300 --> 01:03:50,300
We look, Yeah. 
And then one of the things that 

1425
01:03:50,300 --> 01:03:52,700
you sent me early this morning 
and I got it in, you know, 

1426
01:03:52,700 --> 01:03:54,600
Catholic boat had a piece on 
this. 

1427
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:57,500
My father sent me one, there's 
all these shootings that are 

1428
01:03:57,500 --> 01:04:00,700
happening and they're in 
predominantly gang-related, you 

1429
01:04:00,700 --> 01:04:02,900
know, Black Culture test stuff, 
which I don't think, is the 

1430
01:04:02,900 --> 01:04:05,100
majority of black people in this
country by any means. 

1431
01:04:05,100 --> 01:04:06,600
And yet it's the one that gets 
the most play. 

1432
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:09,300
So we had 20, something people 
shot at least one person killed 

1433
01:04:09,300 --> 01:04:13,200
in San Diego which is wild you 
had another almost 20 shootings 

1434
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:16,000
and a couple of people died in 
Chicago which is sort of like a 

1435
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:19,300
regular weekend which is also 
sad during Summer. 

1436
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:21,000
You know, they have over two 
hundred and thirty five 

1437
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:24,800
homicides so far in the city of 
Chicago and so much of it. 

1438
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:28,200
I feel like it's it's got to be 
related to the fact that there 

1439
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:32,000
is a father problem and it's not
for lack of celebrating 

1440
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:36,500
Juneteenth, which I think is 
maybe maybe the the lower end of

1441
01:04:36,508 --> 01:04:38,200
the scale. 
Maybe Father's Day is the one 

1442
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:39,200
that ought to be the national 
holiday. 

1443
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:41,300
Luckily they kind of coincide so
you get along Father's Day 

1444
01:04:41,300 --> 01:04:46,100
weekend but it's something to be
said about this this lack of men

1445
01:04:46,100 --> 01:04:49,700
being present to show young men,
how to be men What do you think?

1446
01:04:50,700 --> 01:04:53,300
I agree, huh. 
I think I think that the system 

1447
01:04:53,300 --> 01:04:58,000
is designed to separate separate
families. 

1448
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:01,400
Especially like I remember I 
moved out of my house when I was

1449
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,800
the first time when I was like 
13, you know, moved in with my 

1450
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:07,600
girlfriend. 
And you know my mom's like all 

1451
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:09,600
you want to smoke and you want 
to smoke in our house. 

1452
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:11,700
You don't live here. 
This is our roof are rules. 

1453
01:05:11,700 --> 01:05:14,100
You don't like the rules move 
out, you know, my girlfriend's 

1454
01:05:14,100 --> 01:05:17,100
mom, let us smoke cigarettes and
at the time, like, looking back 

1455
01:05:17,100 --> 01:05:20,400
at the mindset that I had when I
was, Teen, it wasn't family, 

1456
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:23,100
family family. 
And then I look at like, how 

1457
01:05:23,100 --> 01:05:27,400
indoctrinated I actually was and
how great my parents really were

1458
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:30,700
but Society wasn't wasn't 
teaching us that. 

1459
01:05:31,500 --> 01:05:34,800
So I feel like that there's a 
there's a major problem when the

1460
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:38,300
government itself is trying to 
separate families and they're no

1461
01:05:38,300 --> 01:05:41,200
longer teaching Like what you 
call it? 

1462
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:43,900
The nuclear family. 
Yeah, it's no longer taught 

1463
01:05:43,900 --> 01:05:46,000
their turn to pretty much do 
everything they can to destroy 

1464
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,600
that. 
It be a single mom, raise your 

1465
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:50,700
kids, you know, or don't have 
kids? 

1466
01:05:50,900 --> 01:05:53,500
I don't know, man, I think I 
think everything's just a big 

1467
01:05:53,500 --> 01:05:56,700
sigh up now. 
Yeah I think the faith 

1468
01:05:56,700 --> 01:05:58,600
institutions, I had a 
conversation with Tracy beans 

1469
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:01,400
about this the other day and 
Tracy beans from uncovered 

1470
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:02,900
DC.com. 
Excellent. 

1471
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,800
You know, editor, there who also
sort of had a strong, she's 

1472
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:06,900
always been sort of a good 
presence. 

1473
01:06:06,900 --> 01:06:10,600
But I think post covid is one of
those things where The people 

1474
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:13,100
have been turning away from the 
so-called traditional media 

1475
01:06:13,500 --> 01:06:16,000
because they've lost the faith 
of the of those that are 

1476
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:17,600
consuming it. 
They're out there pushing a 

1477
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:20,700
narrative that is no longer 
true, because the Blind Faith is

1478
01:06:20,700 --> 01:06:23,300
gone, we can't just look at 
things and go, oh, obviously 

1479
01:06:23,500 --> 01:06:24,800
they know what's best to Fox 
News. 

1480
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:26,700
Knows, what's true? 
CNN knows, what's true? 

1481
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:28,900
Doctors know what's true. 
People are looking in 

1482
01:06:28,900 --> 01:06:30,900
questioning all of it, and 
they've eroded that and they did

1483
01:06:30,900 --> 01:06:33,800
it on purpose in some ways. 
And one of those things they've 

1484
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:35,500
done is trying to act like 
families or not. 

1485
01:06:35,500 --> 01:06:37,900
One of the most important things
that you can have that. 

1486
01:06:37,900 --> 01:06:40,800
The that the family is somehow 
Secondary to what the 

1487
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:42,100
government's going to provide 
for you. 

1488
01:06:42,300 --> 01:06:45,300
I've reflected that, that 
leftism is sort of a secular 

1489
01:06:45,300 --> 01:06:47,900
religion. 
You mentioned earlier, you know,

1490
01:06:47,900 --> 01:06:50,200
kind of a satanic cult on the 
left. 

1491
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:53,500
What, what sort of values, what 
sort of religious sort of 

1492
01:06:53,500 --> 01:06:55,200
experience? 
Are you teaching your son, so 

1493
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,100
that he can kind of resist some 
of these things that are out 

1494
01:06:57,100 --> 01:07:01,600
there? 
You know, where we go to 242 

1495
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:09,000
church, we don't go there as 
much as I'd like, but God God, I

1496
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,700
mean, he he understands, you 
know, he go to church. 

1497
01:07:11,700 --> 01:07:15,800
He understands that back whether
you want to fully believe in God

1498
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:20,400
or not what God stands for his 
good orderly direction and you 

1499
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:22,800
know, always trying to be a good
person. 

1500
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:26,900
Be a better person you know like
when we go when we go shopping 

1501
01:07:26,900 --> 01:07:30,400
to the at the at Walmart, right?
And you pull in the parking lots

1502
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:32,200
kind of full but there's a spot 
right up front. 

1503
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:34,300
You take that spot right up 
front or do you go park in the 

1504
01:07:34,300 --> 01:07:36,600
back and hopefully that, you 
know, I'm old lady can have that

1505
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,600
spot, we go into anywhere, we go
into a store, they'll be the 

1506
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:42,100
first person to hold the door. 
It's please and thank you to 

1507
01:07:42,100 --> 01:07:43,400
everybody. 
I mean I probably have one of 

1508
01:07:43,408 --> 01:07:47,200
the best most polite respectful 
children that you could ever 

1509
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:48,700
have. 
I mean he is literally the best 

1510
01:07:48,700 --> 01:07:53,000
kid humanly possible and my 
mindset has been that when it 

1511
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:58,000
when a kid grows up he doesn't 
act out or not act out and not 

1512
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,200
be a bad kid because he's afraid
to get in trouble. 

1513
01:08:00,300 --> 01:08:02,400
I was never afraid to get in 
trouble, right? 

1514
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:05,500
What I didn't have was respect 
for my parents, so I feel like 

1515
01:08:05,700 --> 01:08:10,400
More that when a child grows up,
he chooses to not be a bad kid 

1516
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,600
because he respects the parent 
and that is the II. 

1517
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:15,600
You know, I've never talked to 
him like a child. 

1518
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:16,899
I'm always very honest with 
them. 

1519
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:20,000
Some things are obviously, he's 
too young to understand, but I 

1520
01:08:20,008 --> 01:08:21,600
always try to give him the 
benefit of the doubt. 

1521
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:24,600
I always try to treat treat him 
like an adult and trying to 

1522
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:27,399
teach him that, you know, 
because church is boring for a 

1523
01:08:27,399 --> 01:08:28,700
kid. 
But we go to 242. 

1524
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:31,700
So, it's like they got live 
bands, and they have a giant 

1525
01:08:31,700 --> 01:08:33,700
soccer field and basketball 
courts there. 

1526
01:08:33,700 --> 01:08:36,500
So, it's kind of like a, you 
know, Give a little to get a 

1527
01:08:36,500 --> 01:08:40,899
little and like it's like I 
don't pay my son to do chores. 

1528
01:08:41,100 --> 01:08:44,000
I pay my son to do homework. 
I paid my son to read books. 

1529
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:46,100
I paid my son to write book 
reports because I don't want to 

1530
01:08:46,100 --> 01:08:49,700
teach my son that it's okay to 
go take out somebody's trash to 

1531
01:08:49,700 --> 01:08:51,100
get a paycheck. 
No, that's not. 

1532
01:08:51,100 --> 01:08:53,000
Okay, I want you to invest in 
yourself. 

1533
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,300
I was paying him at one time to 
make YouTube videos who's making

1534
01:08:55,300 --> 01:08:58,800
these little 15 second Dragon 
Ball Z shorts, and he's got like

1535
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:00,700
500 followers on his YouTube 
channel. 

1536
01:09:00,700 --> 01:09:02,500
Just making these little short. 
So I was giving you want 

1537
01:09:02,500 --> 01:09:05,100
roadblocks, I'll give you a 
dollar in Roblox for every 15 

1538
01:09:05,100 --> 01:09:07,300
seconds. 
You make and all he does is like

1539
01:09:07,300 --> 01:09:10,100
screenshot like fire dragons up 
ballsy photos and puts him in 

1540
01:09:10,100 --> 01:09:13,100
like a little app that I showed 
him on his phone and yeah. 

1541
01:09:13,300 --> 01:09:17,800
So do your kind of my how to 
fish as opposed to handing in 

1542
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:18,700
the fish. 
Kind of idea. 

1543
01:09:18,700 --> 01:09:22,399
Yes, absolutely. 
So I want a position to invest 

1544
01:09:22,399 --> 01:09:24,300
in himself, right? 
Yeah. 

1545
01:09:24,300 --> 01:09:25,899
Read a book you're gaining 
knowledge and you're going to 

1546
01:09:25,899 --> 01:09:27,700
use that knowledge later on in 
life. 

1547
01:09:28,100 --> 01:09:31,100
So if you're willing to take the
time now and invest in yourself,

1548
01:09:31,700 --> 01:09:34,000
you're only going to become that
much better, in life, that make 

1549
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:35,500
sense. 
Yeah, where did that wrong? 

1550
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:37,800
I think it made sense in the 
thing is, I've never considered 

1551
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:43,700
the idea that paying your kid to
do chores was a it that's an 

1552
01:09:43,700 --> 01:09:46,100
interesting frame for me. 
I'm going to meditate on that I 

1553
01:09:46,100 --> 01:09:47,899
like walking away with the 
things that I haven't thought of

1554
01:09:47,899 --> 01:09:50,800
before and I haven't thought of 
that I do like the idea that 

1555
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:53,100
there are certain things you do 
just because it's the thing you 

1556
01:09:53,100 --> 01:09:55,900
do to be in our household and I 
think I learned a lot of that. 

1557
01:09:55,900 --> 01:09:59,200
I mean there was you've got to 
maintain your space around you. 

1558
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:01,700
Do you notice. 
This is just a random I'm using,

1559
01:10:01,700 --> 01:10:03,200
I have but I think it has to do 
with fatherhood. 

1560
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:04,200
I think it has to do with 
families. 

1561
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:07,100
You notice that people That are 
in our age. 

1562
01:10:07,100 --> 01:10:11,000
Bracket are not mowing their 
lawn or taking care of their 

1563
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,400
yards. 
And the way I remember seeing 

1564
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:16,600
when I was a kid, it was that a 
thing in your, in your growing 

1565
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:17,900
up. 
That people took care of their 

1566
01:10:17,900 --> 01:10:19,200
property in a different way than
they do. 

1567
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,900
Now, absolutely, my Grandpa 
would cut the grass twice a 

1568
01:10:21,900 --> 01:10:23,900
week. 
I mean, to the T and like, 

1569
01:10:23,900 --> 01:10:26,500
sometimes even like that, like 
the Lions had to be straight 

1570
01:10:26,700 --> 01:10:29,000
like I couldn't drive that he 
would get mad when I he'd pay me

1571
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:30,900
like ten dollars to cut the 
grass and I would drive and like

1572
01:10:30,900 --> 01:10:33,700
circles and all over even know, 
like the Lions have to go this 

1573
01:10:33,700 --> 01:10:35,100
way. 
And that way and like all the 

1574
01:10:35,100 --> 01:10:38,100
weeds Have to be pulled edging, 
have to be truck, Mall chest be 

1575
01:10:38,100 --> 01:10:39,400
out. 
And now you just go through subs

1576
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:40,600
and it's like you can just tell 
people. 

1577
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:43,700
Just don't, they don't have that
Pride because they're not going 

1578
01:10:43,700 --> 01:10:45,400
outside and spending time with 
their neighbors. 

1579
01:10:45,900 --> 01:10:48,400
Like that's what people used to 
do on the weekends, you'd hang 

1580
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:49,600
out. 
You'd enjoy with your neighbors.

1581
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:51,900
Everybody knew each other in a 
subdivision, the kids would all 

1582
01:10:51,900 --> 01:10:55,900
go play roller hockey at the end
of the sub and now we're just 

1583
01:10:55,900 --> 01:10:57,400
not being raised with those same
values. 

1584
01:10:57,400 --> 01:11:00,100
So I think it's the fact that we
were not spending as much time 

1585
01:11:00,100 --> 01:11:02,200
with our neighbors and we're not
going outside as much and we're 

1586
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:05,500
not actually enjoying life as 
much or the. 

1587
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:07,900
Fact that people like I said, 
are working two jobs just to get

1588
01:11:07,900 --> 01:11:09,900
by, just to put a roof over 
their kids head, do they really 

1589
01:11:09,900 --> 01:11:12,300
have time to go out and cut the 
grass and weed and do all these 

1590
01:11:12,300 --> 01:11:15,600
things? 
Yeah, everything maybe. 

1591
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:18,500
So I'm curious about that. 
What do you think the changing 

1592
01:11:18,500 --> 01:11:19,800
was? 
What was the point that change 

1593
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:21,600
that over where people stop 
seeing their neighbors? 

1594
01:11:23,900 --> 01:11:28,000
To work the fact that like, even
when I was a kid on certain 

1595
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,800
holidays, like if you got 
presents on Easter, good luck 

1596
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,700
finding batteries for those 
toys, he was hard to find a gas 

1597
01:11:33,700 --> 01:11:35,900
station that was open on Easter.
I remember getting Christmas 

1598
01:11:35,900 --> 01:11:38,300
present to not even be able to 
go use them because I was out of

1599
01:11:38,300 --> 01:11:41,500
batteries and it was literally 
absolutely nothing opened and at

1600
01:11:41,500 --> 01:11:44,700
one point they tried to boycott 
like Walmart or something for 

1601
01:11:44,700 --> 01:11:46,500
forcing. 
Their the people that work on 

1602
01:11:46,500 --> 01:11:50,000
Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. 
So it's, I think it's just a 

1603
01:11:50,008 --> 01:11:51,200
society. 
I think it's changing. 

1604
01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:53,800
I think that they are trying to 
make that than normal But 

1605
01:11:53,900 --> 01:11:55,900
instead of people standing up 
and going, why the hell am I 

1606
01:11:55,900 --> 01:11:57,300
working? 
Seven days a week. 

1607
01:11:57,700 --> 01:11:59,300
Why? 
Oh, that's right. 

1608
01:11:59,300 --> 01:12:02,300
Because corporations bought 
everything and this is just a 

1609
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:05,300
giant circle of of work. 
Seven days a week. 

1610
01:12:05,300 --> 01:12:07,100
And then maybe you can retire at
60. 

1611
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:10,200
Yeah. 
And the difference between the 

1612
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:13,200
work that you're talking about 
this is like hourly wages that 

1613
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:15,600
are not building investment in 
yourself as opposed to the 

1614
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:17,400
things that you're doing where 
it's like I have something 

1615
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:21,200
that's going to generate my my 
Baseline and you're investing on

1616
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:23,000
your own time because it's the 
right thing to do, because you 

1617
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:24,700
think you're going to change 
things for your kids, which is 

1618
01:12:24,700 --> 01:12:27,800
literally the way that Americans
have always sort of dreamt that 

1619
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:29,300
they would pass on an 
inheritance. 

1620
01:12:29,300 --> 01:12:31,900
They would pass on a legacy. 
They pass on some sort of 

1621
01:12:31,900 --> 01:12:35,100
financial ability to their kids 
so that they started at a higher

1622
01:12:35,100 --> 01:12:36,700
rung on the ladder that we all 
started. 

1623
01:12:36,700 --> 01:12:39,000
I think that's that's the case. 
My dad for sure. 

1624
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,500
I think that's the case that 
your kind of explaining and what

1625
01:12:41,500 --> 01:12:44,000
you're hoping for for your son 
hourly, jobs are not going to 

1626
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:45,900
get you there doing that doing 
seven days a week. 

1627
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:49,100
Well, you can't even save and 
fiat currency, which is 

1628
01:12:49,100 --> 01:12:51,200
something that's drastically 
different than our parents 

1629
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:54,900
generation like back before the 
70s, your parents could 

1630
01:12:54,900 --> 01:12:58,200
literally save in dollars and 
they could pass that wealth On 

1631
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:00,800
to the Next Generation. 
You can no longer save in 

1632
01:13:00,808 --> 01:13:02,500
dollars. 
I mean, if your great great 

1633
01:13:02,500 --> 01:13:05,200
grandparents would have made 
10,000 dollars in left that to 

1634
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:09,000
you and like 1932 for you to buy
By which you could have bought 

1635
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:12,400
with ten thousand dollars in 
1932, they would have had to 

1636
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:16,100
have left you 250,000, but if 
you would have gone with, you 

1637
01:13:16,100 --> 01:13:19,300
would have went back to like 
1970, you know, that 10,000 

1638
01:13:19,300 --> 01:13:20,800
would only had two left, you 
like 30. 

1639
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:23,900
Does that make sense? 
So, in the last, like the 

1640
01:13:23,900 --> 01:13:26,700
original Barker, see your mask 
and then, especially in the 

1641
01:13:26,708 --> 01:13:29,600
last, you know, we got, we have 
5% inflation, if people don't 

1642
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:32,000
understand what that means, that
means that your value put money 

1643
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:35,200
in the bank and you're not 
getting a five percent raise 

1644
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:38,700
every year, you are technically 
making less money than you made 

1645
01:13:38,700 --> 01:13:41,100
the year before and that and 
that's the eighth. 

1646
01:13:41,108 --> 01:13:43,100
That's what the inflation 
numbers that they tell you. 

1647
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:45,300
That's the government's where 
they've taken basically 

1648
01:13:45,300 --> 01:13:48,900
everything humanly possible out 
of that, that you actually buy 

1649
01:13:48,900 --> 01:13:50,600
in a regular basis. 
So if you wanted to calculate 

1650
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:54,100
the actual real inflation, We're
probably talking about, you 

1651
01:13:54,100 --> 01:13:57,900
know, hundreds of a percent 
because if a gallon of milk is 

1652
01:13:57,900 --> 01:14:00,500
two dollars today and then a 
year from now, that gallon of 

1653
01:14:00,500 --> 01:14:04,000
milk goes to four dollars and 
then the next year it goes to 10

1654
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:05,900
dollars over a three-year 
period. 

1655
01:14:05,900 --> 01:14:08,500
Your gallon of milk goes from 
from $2 to $10. 

1656
01:14:09,100 --> 01:14:11,200
Goes up for 5 x, 5 hundred 
percent. 

1657
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:13,800
Let's just say, yep, right. 
And then the next year after 

1658
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:17,100
that it stays at $10. 
What is inflation on that gallon

1659
01:14:17,100 --> 01:14:20,400
of milk? 
Zero ten dollars to $10, right 

1660
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:21,800
to inflict just because 
inflation. 

1661
01:14:21,900 --> 01:14:24,200
In is coming down. 
Nothing is getting cheaper, 

1662
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:25,800
right? 
It just means you're not going 

1663
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:29,900
up at 9% like, it was so wet 
from 9 percent inflation, 25 

1664
01:14:29,900 --> 01:14:33,400
percent inflation, things are 
still going up at five percent 

1665
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:36,900
which is insane. 
Do you can't save him if you 

1666
01:14:36,900 --> 01:14:40,300
can't save and dollars if you're
a firefighter, a first responder

1667
01:14:40,500 --> 01:14:43,900
a medic a teacher, the people 
that are most important to 

1668
01:14:43,900 --> 01:14:48,300
society, you can no longer work 
in 925 and put dollars in a bank

1669
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,800
and pass wealth On to the Next 
Generation. 

1670
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:53,200
You literally have to learn. 
To go home become an expert 

1671
01:14:53,200 --> 01:14:56,400
investment earn expert investor,
and figure out how to put your 

1672
01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:57,800
money into an investment 
vehicle. 

1673
01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:00,700
Because if you don't, you will 
be lucky to retire. 

1674
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:02,900
Let alone pass on wealth to the 
Next Generation. 

1675
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:06,200
And that's how, you know, the 
system is absolutely broken. 

1676
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:08,400
What's going on with Biden, 
Trump? 

1677
01:15:08,500 --> 01:15:11,500
Like none of it really matters. 
What if you break it back down 

1678
01:15:11,500 --> 01:15:14,900
to just our currency without the
US dollar being a u.s. dollar 

1679
01:15:14,900 --> 01:15:17,700
without it stabilizing without 
us, you know, defeating this 

1680
01:15:17,700 --> 01:15:20,800
inflation and waking enough 
people in America up to realize 

1681
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:25,500
like you're Government is ticks 
taxing, 53, cents out of every 

1682
01:15:25,500 --> 01:15:26,500
dollar. 
You make. 

1683
01:15:27,300 --> 01:15:30,500
Yeah, between your consumption 
of sales tax between all of your

1684
01:15:30,500 --> 01:15:33,400
property taxes, your income 
taxes, any kind of wealth 

1685
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:35,600
transfer taxes, all these things
estate taxes, at the end of the 

1686
01:15:35,608 --> 01:15:39,500
day 53, our founding fathers 
would have been stacking bodies 

1687
01:15:39,500 --> 01:15:40,600
by this point. 
Don't you think? 

1688
01:15:41,100 --> 01:15:43,400
Oh, absolutely, they fought a 
revolution over three percent 

1689
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:46,300
sales tax and I have an 
extremely good Whiteboard video 

1690
01:15:46,300 --> 01:15:50,000
on YouTube. 
That actually breaks down. 

1691
01:15:50,100 --> 01:15:53,000
It goes all the way back to 1865
is a whiteboard video. 

1692
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:54,200
It's extremely good. 
Mr. Kennedy. 

1693
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,000
I'll tell you about it and it 
breaks down. 

1694
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:58,500
Okay, here's what our taxes were
in 1865. 

1695
01:15:58,500 --> 01:16:00,900
Boom, boom, boom. 
All the way to like 1912 when 

1696
01:16:00,900 --> 01:16:03,100
the Federal Reserve was 
established. 

1697
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:06,600
I mean even in like 1895 our 
founding fathers or our 

1698
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:12,200
government abolished 
ex-government the taxes and it 

1699
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:15,300
wasn't until like 1912 or 1913 
when the Federal Reserve was 

1700
01:16:15,300 --> 01:16:17,700
established and that's a whole 
story in itself. 

1701
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:19,600
Of. 
Yeah, that that are that our 

1702
01:16:19,608 --> 01:16:22,300
founding fathers wouldn't even 
allow the taxes to happen. 

1703
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:25,900
So imagine even when they were 
like four percent or 3 percent, 

1704
01:16:26,500 --> 01:16:28,900
imagine how much more money you 
would have in your bank today? 

1705
01:16:29,100 --> 01:16:31,000
Imagine how much better of a 
life you could provide for your 

1706
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:32,900
children? 
If your government was only 

1707
01:16:32,900 --> 01:16:35,500
taxing, you 5% and that's where 
we're going to have to get back 

1708
01:16:35,500 --> 01:16:37,600
to for our work, for us to get 
out of this. 

1709
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:40,200
In our economy, to recover, its 
going to have to be a flat tax. 

1710
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,200
There is no way that you can 
continue to tax citizens, 55 

1711
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:46,500
percent, or fifty three percent 
and people just be okay with it.

1712
01:16:46,500 --> 01:16:49,100
It's absolutely insane. 
When did I ever tell you the 

1713
01:16:49,100 --> 01:16:51,900
flat tax story in my household? 
No tells me. 

1714
01:16:52,900 --> 01:16:59,300
So my wife was a lib raised in 
Brooklyn New York and had never 

1715
01:16:59,300 --> 01:17:02,300
been around anyone who had a 
discussion about finances. 

1716
01:17:02,300 --> 01:17:05,100
I was in the military at the 
time and so we were just dating.

1717
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:07,600
So we get together and we're 
talking about taxes and she's 

1718
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:08,800
telling me about her 
perspective. 

1719
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:11,300
You know, she came out of a very
left-leaning, very sensitive, 

1720
01:17:11,300 --> 01:17:15,200
very emotional position because 
she's a therapist by trade, she 

1721
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:17,700
went to a, you know, a liberal 
arts part of university of 

1722
01:17:18,100 --> 01:17:19,400
Austin's pretty lib. 
And well. 

1723
01:17:19,500 --> 01:17:22,000
So anyway, so she has all these 
kind of ideas and so we start 

1724
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:23,500
talking about money and I was 
just like, you know, the 

1725
01:17:23,500 --> 01:17:26,500
government is really jacked up, 
but it taxes everybody and her 

1726
01:17:26,500 --> 01:17:29,700
mom was a high earner three 
hundred thousand dollars or so, 

1727
01:17:29,700 --> 01:17:31,900
something like that, you know, 
for a long time and I said, do 

1728
01:17:31,907 --> 01:17:34,300
you think it's fair that your 
mom has to pay 50% of the money?

1729
01:17:34,300 --> 01:17:36,700
She makes and taxes fifty cents 
out of every dollar. 

1730
01:17:36,700 --> 01:17:40,700
She brings in is tax revenue and
so she's only making half of 

1731
01:17:40,700 --> 01:17:43,900
that that she takes home and she
was like, well I don't have to 

1732
01:17:43,900 --> 01:17:45,700
pay that much. 
I only pay something like, you 

1733
01:17:45,700 --> 01:17:48,200
know, 36 percent because she was
obviously in a much Lower tax 

1734
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:52,100
bracket. 
And so she goes, she goes, well,

1735
01:17:52,500 --> 01:17:55,200
why doesn't everyone just pay 
the same amount of taxes? 

1736
01:17:55,400 --> 01:17:56,800
I said the same percentage and 
she goes. 

1737
01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:58,900
Yeah, I said you understand 
that, the more you make the 

1738
01:17:58,900 --> 01:18:01,700
higher percentage of taxes, you 
pay, it's called a progressive 

1739
01:18:01,700 --> 01:18:03,900
income tax scale. 
That's what the progressives on 

1740
01:18:03,900 --> 01:18:07,000
the left have come up with and 
she goes well that seems very 

1741
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:08,500
unfair and go. 
Yeah. 

1742
01:18:08,500 --> 01:18:10,500
Why she goes what everyone 
should just pay the same 

1743
01:18:10,500 --> 01:18:13,700
percentage and if you make more 
you obviously pay more in gross 

1744
01:18:13,700 --> 01:18:15,700
but you pay the same percentage 
everyone else than I once got 

1745
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:18,900
skin in the game and I said well
You are now the most 

1746
01:18:18,900 --> 01:18:21,500
right-leaning person in this 
room when it comes to federal 

1747
01:18:21,500 --> 01:18:23,800
taxes, you know, I would be 
happy to have a step-down 

1748
01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:26,700
progressive income tax, but 
you're correct a flat tax is 

1749
01:18:26,700 --> 01:18:28,900
obviously the most fair. 
And for whatever reason, that 

1750
01:18:28,900 --> 01:18:33,500
was probably the initial 
Awakening that she had about 

1751
01:18:33,500 --> 01:18:37,100
fundamental fairness and the 
fact that left his policies are 

1752
01:18:37,100 --> 01:18:39,500
not fair. 
And honestly, they're really 

1753
01:18:39,500 --> 01:18:41,300
pessimistic if you think about 
it. 

1754
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:44,300
The only way that you can 
believe that the rich should be 

1755
01:18:44,300 --> 01:18:46,400
paying a higher percentage of 
their income, not a higher 

1756
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:49,400
number, but a higher Percentage 
is if you think that you could 

1757
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:52,700
never be one of those people. 
And and that the government 

1758
01:18:52,700 --> 01:18:55,400
somehow is going to spend your 
money better than anybody else. 

1759
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:57,500
And so anyway, I just thought 
that was really funny and it's 

1760
01:18:57,500 --> 01:18:59,800
one of those small awareness 
moments, you can have them with 

1761
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:01,200
your kids. 
You can have them with people 

1762
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:05,100
who are young and they can 
understand, fundamental fairness

1763
01:19:05,100 --> 01:19:07,500
is there there's nothing 
fundamentally fair about a 

1764
01:19:07,500 --> 01:19:11,100
leftist sort of position and 
and, and that's one of them and 

1765
01:19:11,100 --> 01:19:13,200
like I said, it was an Awakening
for my wife and then, you know, 

1766
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:15,400
maybe three months later she was
telling me, well, if everybody 

1767
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:17,200
in Mexico would just wants to be
in the America, why don't we 

1768
01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:20,200
just conquer Mexico and all 
Central American countries all 

1769
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:21,200
the way down to the Panama 
Canal. 

1770
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:23,900
And Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey 
warmonger, take it take it easy 

1771
01:19:23,900 --> 01:19:27,600
there but but it is it is a kind
of Awakening moment for people 

1772
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:30,600
when they realize that their 
money is not reasonable, it's 

1773
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:33,800
not being used to the best 
effect and then think about 

1774
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:37,300
this, think about the welfare 
state, think about how much 

1775
01:19:37,300 --> 01:19:40,300
money it takes. 
Just to send out welfare, checks

1776
01:19:40,700 --> 01:19:43,300
the apparatus that's behind. 
Setting up all the payment 

1777
01:19:43,300 --> 01:19:45,700
processing and all that. 
That's all government waste 

1778
01:19:45,700 --> 01:19:48,600
because it's totally inefficient
and it could easily be done by 

1779
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,300
people who would volunteer to do
so at charities and church. 

1780
01:19:51,500 --> 01:19:53,200
Has and things like the way that
it's always been done in human 

1781
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:54,700
history. 
So we're kind of backwards. 

1782
01:19:54,900 --> 01:19:56,900
I want to, I wanted to share 
that. 

1783
01:19:56,900 --> 01:19:59,700
Then I want you to tell me why 
is Trump your guy in 2024 you, 

1784
01:19:59,700 --> 01:20:01,000
and I go back and forth about 
this. 

1785
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:03,800
I have a lot of misgivings about
anybody in politics. 

1786
01:20:04,100 --> 01:20:06,600
You're 100% in. 
You tell me, you wear a trump 

1787
01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:08,900
hat and shirt places. 
Do you have Trump shoes? 

1788
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:12,400
I do. 
Well, no, I have I have Shots by

1789
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:15,100
Matt American flag shoes. 
That match, my trump hoodie, 

1790
01:20:15,100 --> 01:20:17,100
love it. 
Okay, so you go out there and 

1791
01:20:17,100 --> 01:20:20,700
you're telling people and you 
are repping, you know, merch 

1792
01:20:20,700 --> 01:20:23,000
that shows that you're a hundred
percent behind Trump. 

1793
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:26,100
Why is Trump the solution to the
problems that you see? 

1794
01:20:26,100 --> 01:20:30,800
And that that we talked about? 
So I'm not like one of those 

1795
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:33,600
people that only wearers like 
the altar, Maga shirts, you 

1796
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:36,900
know, I wear them, if I'm going 
to like a special event or, you 

1797
01:20:36,900 --> 01:20:39,700
know, just how to a trump rally,
I don't always wear them out. 

1798
01:20:39,700 --> 01:20:42,600
I don't have Trump stickers on 
my, on my car, I did have a 

1799
01:20:42,608 --> 01:20:45,000
trump sign that I bought for my 
front lawn, but I think it's 

1800
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:48,300
still in the package. 
But but Trump's my guy because 

1801
01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:51,400
in my lifetime, there has never 
been a president who has done 

1802
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:54,300
more for the American people. 
And he's done more to put the 

1803
01:20:54,300 --> 01:20:56,600
American people first then 
President Trump. 

1804
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:00,600
I also know that You know, 
Trump's one of Trumps mottos 

1805
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:03,100
that he lives by and it says 
he's lived by this. 

1806
01:21:03,100 --> 01:21:06,700
And Trump is a guy was promises 
made Promises Kept when he tells

1807
01:21:06,700 --> 01:21:09,400
us he's going to do something. 
He does it eat your or at least 

1808
01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:11,200
tries to do it. 
He might get railroaded by all 

1809
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:15,000
the Rhinos in Congress and all 
the people in the swamp but 

1810
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,400
Trump has been screwed, right? 
And his motto is if you get 

1811
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:22,500
screwed by somebody, screw them 
back ten times harder and it's 

1812
01:21:22,500 --> 01:21:25,800
not even to teach the person 
that screwed you over a lesson. 

1813
01:21:26,500 --> 01:21:29,500
It's the teach anybody else that
might think about screwing you 

1814
01:21:29,500 --> 01:21:32,900
over that you're going to teach 
them a lesson and what's been 

1815
01:21:32,900 --> 01:21:35,900
done to this country and what 
they've put us through over the 

1816
01:21:35,900 --> 01:21:39,300
last three years. 
Since Joe Biden has taken office

1817
01:21:39,500 --> 01:21:42,500
and even I would say the four 
years prior while Trump was 

1818
01:21:42,500 --> 01:21:45,700
president and all the constant 
bombarding of trying to destroy 

1819
01:21:45,700 --> 01:21:49,300
this man, they've screwed Trump.
And the people that screwed 

1820
01:21:49,300 --> 01:21:52,500
Trump screwed, every one of us. 
So, if Trump's going to, if 

1821
01:21:52,500 --> 01:21:55,400
Trump does, one thing he keeps 
his promises and its promises 

1822
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:57,900
made Promises Kept. 
They screwed him over, I can't 

1823
01:21:57,900 --> 01:22:01,400
wait to see him. 
Clinton, Joe, Biden, the Obamas 

1824
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:04,400
and every other person in the 
Deep State that's been involved 

1825
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:07,300
with lying to us getting us 
involved in these wars, I want 

1826
01:22:07,300 --> 01:22:09,000
those debt. 
Documents Declassified. 

1827
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:12,700
I want the SB FBI dismantled and
Scattered into a thousand pieces

1828
01:22:12,700 --> 01:22:15,800
and rebuilt from the ground up 
in a decentralized way, where 

1829
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:17,400
everything is not centralized in
Washington. 

1830
01:22:18,100 --> 01:22:22,200
I could go on for hours. 
He took 1.7 million women off 

1831
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:24,200
food stamps. 
So if you just think about that 

1832
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:26,800
feeling, like I know the feeling
like I said, when I graduated 

1833
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:30,000
college, when my business was 
making, 125 thousand dollars a 

1834
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:35,800
year when I was just able to 
hold on, when I was, when I was 

1835
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:38,700
able to just to just provide 
that life for my son. 

1836
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:42,900
So, I mean, you know, Americans 
gained 7 million more jobs than 

1837
01:22:42,900 --> 01:22:45,800
government expected during 
Trump's time in office, the 

1838
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:48,500
middle class income rant raised 
by six thousand dollars. 

1839
01:22:48,500 --> 01:22:51,100
That's more than five times 
during the entire previous 

1840
01:22:51,100 --> 01:22:53,100
administration. 
So Obama was in there for eight 

1841
01:22:53,100 --> 01:22:57,500
years and your income as an 
American only Rose by one 

1842
01:22:57,500 --> 01:23:00,700
thousand dollars. 
In a over an eight-year period. 

1843
01:23:00,700 --> 01:23:04,900
Trump did 6,000 in in four 
years, the unemployment rate 

1844
01:23:04,900 --> 01:23:09,300
reached 3.5%, he achieved 40 
months, straight low employment,

1845
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:12,500
jobless claims had a 50-year 
low, the number of of people 

1846
01:23:12,500 --> 01:23:15,200
claiming unemployment insurance,
as a share of the population, 

1847
01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:19,000
hit the lowest record I could go
on and on, he lifted 7 million 

1848
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:22,200
people off food stamps, 7 
million people for the first 

1849
01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:25,300
time in their life. 
Most likely were lifted off of 

1850
01:23:25,300 --> 01:23:28,300
food stamps, poverty rate for 
African-Americans, Hispanic, 

1851
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:31,200
Atkins reached record lows 
income inequality fell for two, 

1852
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:33,300
straight years and by the 
largest numbers in over a decade

1853
01:23:33,900 --> 01:23:35,400
the bottom. 
And here's my favorite, the 

1854
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:38,800
bottom 50 percent of American 
households saw a 40 percent 

1855
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:42,800
increase in net wealth wages, 
Rose faster, for low-income and 

1856
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:46,700
blue collar workers, a 16, 
percentage pay increase which is

1857
01:23:46,700 --> 01:23:49,000
insane, African-American 
homeownership increase from 

1858
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:54,100
41.7%, to 46.4% it created more 
than 1.2 million manufacturing 

1859
01:23:54,100 --> 01:23:58,600
and construction jobs, you know,
the tax cuts that he did for us.

1860
01:23:58,700 --> 01:24:02,200
The fact that the stock market 
was booming Trump was making us 

1861
01:24:02,300 --> 01:24:05,200
rich and he was doing so by 
taxing these other nations. 

1862
01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:11,000
So I look at is, is this Santa's
going to do that is is RFK going

1863
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:14,600
to go in there and absolutely 
destroy the Deep State, maybe 

1864
01:24:14,900 --> 01:24:16,100
and that. 
And that is the big question. 

1865
01:24:16,100 --> 01:24:20,600
I'm literally praying and 
praying to God that somebody 

1866
01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:24,200
comes in to the White House in 
his good and it is as good as 

1867
01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:28,100
Donald Trump, as good as Donald 
Trump was not to mention how 

1868
01:24:28,108 --> 01:24:29,600
much Better. 
I think Donald Trump's going to 

1869
01:24:29,608 --> 01:24:31,500
even be this time, and he was 
last time. 

1870
01:24:31,500 --> 01:24:34,700
So why would I want to vote or 
risk it and risk getting another

1871
01:24:34,700 --> 01:24:36,800
Obama? 
Another Jed, Bush or another 

1872
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:39,400
George Bush. 
Another Bill Clinton, I mean, 

1873
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:41,200
look, back when Clinton was in 
office, a lot of people think, 

1874
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:43,500
thought Clinton was one of the 
greatest presidents of all time.

1875
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:46,400
And then you say with Obama, I 
mean, there was, there was one 

1876
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:48,900
time when my son actually came 
home, this probably a year ago 

1877
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:50,700
and like, I was talking about 
his. 

1878
01:24:50,700 --> 01:24:53,500
Yeah, but, but Obama's the best 
president, like that's what 

1879
01:24:53,500 --> 01:24:54,600
they're teaching these kids in 
school. 

1880
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:57,100
That's what these some of these 
people actually think, right? 

1881
01:24:57,100 --> 01:24:59,100
Not really. 
Knowing that, you know, Amma was

1882
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:01,700
probably the deadliest 
president. 

1883
01:25:01,700 --> 01:25:04,800
He killed more people than 
anybody like any president US. 

1884
01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:07,800
History was a drone striking. 
Everybody here drones like 

1885
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:10,700
American citizens on us soil and
then drone stroke. 

1886
01:25:10,700 --> 01:25:13,300
An American citizen on foreign 
soil, unfortunately. 

1887
01:25:13,300 --> 01:25:16,000
Yes, I don't know about the on 
American soil. 

1888
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:18,200
Where is there a name? 
A name of that person. 

1889
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:20,400
You're thinking of that. 
Was that guy's son, wasn't it? 

1890
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:23,800
He hit the he hit the dad on us 
soil and then he hid the sun on 

1891
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:25,700
foreign soil, if I'm not 
mistaken. 

1892
01:25:25,700 --> 01:25:27,900
I think we have to fact, check 
that one at someone if you got 

1893
01:25:27,900 --> 01:25:29,600
back. 
If you know that in the chat I'm

1894
01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:32,300
not familiar with that one. 
That was a pretty impressive 

1895
01:25:32,300 --> 01:25:34,900
list of things you have that on 
your phone is like a set of 

1896
01:25:34,900 --> 01:25:36,000
notes. 
It looks like I do. 

1897
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:38,400
I have to lie I read it almost 
everyday and and one of the 

1898
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:40,600
things that's really impressive 
is and I think this is the big 

1899
01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:43,200
differential between when you 
ask like, oh why is why is Joe 

1900
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:44,800
Biden a good president? 
There'd be like he's 

1901
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:46,800
accomplishing all these things 
in Congress. 

1902
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:49,600
It's like well that's not really
what a president does but you 

1903
01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:52,000
know, we're materially, I'd like
my 401 k. 

1904
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:54,700
My Thrift Savings Account is way
worse off. 

1905
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:58,300
You know? 
It's a double digits down and I 

1906
01:25:58,300 --> 01:26:01,100
think You were mentioning things
about the default rate on 

1907
01:26:01,100 --> 01:26:02,900
vehicles is really high. 
Do you want to tell people about

1908
01:26:02,900 --> 01:26:03,500
that? 
Because I think it's 

1909
01:26:03,500 --> 01:26:07,300
interesting. 
Yeah, so six-point and like the 

1910
01:26:07,300 --> 01:26:09,000
average. 
So like, if you take a look, go 

1911
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:12,100
back through time, the average 
amount of Americans, that 

1912
01:26:12,100 --> 01:26:15,200
default on their car or car 
loans, every month range is from

1913
01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:17,600
like three to five and a half. 
Every once in a while, you'll 

1914
01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:20,600
see like a 6% for like a month, 
and I'll drop rate back down 

1915
01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:25,700
from December to January. 
We went from three point like 1%

1916
01:26:25,700 --> 01:26:29,200
of Americans defaulting on their
car loans. 88 percent of 

1917
01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:31,400
Americans in one month, six 
point, eight percent of 

1918
01:26:31,407 --> 01:26:34,200
Americans defaulting on their 
auto loans that's just over a 

1919
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:38,300
month. 
And now in in February, it could

1920
01:26:38,300 --> 01:26:40,600
have went down, right? 
I have not seen the number since

1921
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:43,300
January, and I assume that I 
have not seen those numbers on 

1922
01:26:43,300 --> 01:26:45,600
purpose, because no matter where
I look at cannot find them. 

1923
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:48,400
So I assume that they're trying 
to not show us that and then if 

1924
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:50,600
you talk about the amount of 
Americans right now that are in 

1925
01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:54,900
credit card debt, the average 
American citizen has a credit 

1926
01:26:54,900 --> 01:26:57,600
card balance of five thousand 
three hundred and seventy-five 

1927
01:26:57,600 --> 01:26:59,600
dollars. 
Now these These numbers might be

1928
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:02,600
they do last month or whenever I
learned them but they're still 

1929
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:04,700
relevant, right? 
So five thousand three hundred 

1930
01:27:04,700 --> 01:27:08,900
seventy five dollars so I think 
75 percent of Americans have a 

1931
01:27:08,900 --> 01:27:11,000
credit card balance. 
So if the average is five 

1932
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:12,600
thousand, three hundred 
seventy-five, you could assume 

1933
01:27:12,600 --> 01:27:15,100
that most likely 75% of 
Americans have a credit card, 

1934
01:27:15,100 --> 01:27:17,500
balance of that of that amount 
of money. 

1935
01:27:17,700 --> 01:27:19,900
And then if you just Google 
simple, what is the average 

1936
01:27:19,900 --> 01:27:22,100
credit card interest rate in the
United States? 

1937
01:27:22,100 --> 01:27:24,200
It's like Twenty Ninth. 
Twenty one point two, nine 

1938
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:26,700
percent. 
So if you just scale that down 

1939
01:27:26,700 --> 01:27:30,000
to 20% and then you say that the
average American has 5,000 in 

1940
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:32,800
credit card debt, the 75 percent
of Americans are paying a 

1941
01:27:32,808 --> 01:27:36,400
thousand dollars every month. 
Just to pay off the interest on 

1942
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:39,800
their credit card. 
Debt bankruptcies right now are 

1943
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:43,100
accelerating at a rate faster 
than they did in 08. 

1944
01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:45,400
And everybody over here is 
telling us that you listen to 

1945
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:47,500
the experts in the big. 
All, you know, we're not in a 

1946
01:27:47,508 --> 01:27:51,100
recession on unemployment at you
know unemployment unemployment 

1947
01:27:51,100 --> 01:27:53,000
numbers are not. 
There's the job openings are 

1948
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:55,200
still tons of jobs out there. 
We're not in a recession. 

1949
01:27:55,500 --> 01:27:57,600
Well, that's like saying I 
haven't got hit by a bus. 

1950
01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:00,300
You haven't got hit by a bus 
that you're hit by a bus. 

1951
01:28:00,300 --> 01:28:03,200
If you go back and look at the 
charts by the time you see those

1952
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:06,200
unemployment numbers go up, you 
are in full-blown recession, 

1953
01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:08,000
there is no planning, there's no
soft lighting. 

1954
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:10,100
There's no prepping for it. 
It's like, you just oh, well bus

1955
01:28:10,100 --> 01:28:11,900
is here. 
You just get smoked by a bus 

1956
01:28:11,900 --> 01:28:14,000
like yeah. 
While we're in a recession, it's

1957
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:15,100
going to get really, really bad 
here. 

1958
01:28:15,100 --> 01:28:18,700
I think. 
Because yeah, what does the what

1959
01:28:18,700 --> 01:28:22,300
is the, what is Joe Biden done 
to lead you to believe that? 

1960
01:28:22,300 --> 01:28:23,600
He's going to make things 
better? 

1961
01:28:24,300 --> 01:28:26,400
Well, we haven't seen anything 
that's been better. 

1962
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:28,900
I in fact, even my brothers who 
are all pretty low, Left-leaning

1963
01:28:28,900 --> 01:28:31,500
have been mentioning things like
hey man, you know, my my 

1964
01:28:31,500 --> 01:28:34,800
savings, my my investments are 
doing poor, will we need a 

1965
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:37,200
Republican president? 
They don't like Trump, but 

1966
01:28:37,200 --> 01:28:38,800
there's something funny when 
people on the left are looking 

1967
01:28:38,800 --> 01:28:42,300
at their bank accounts and going
like Jesus, God Almighty, you 

1968
01:28:42,300 --> 01:28:45,200
know, what are we doing? 
And this is a guy that's put, 

1969
01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:47,900
you know, radical gender 
ideology far above like basic, 

1970
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:49,900
you know, fiscal solvency and 
we're not doing it. 

1971
01:28:49,900 --> 01:28:53,300
So I appreciate that. 
You have some, you know, even if

1972
01:28:53,300 --> 01:28:56,500
people disagree with what you're
saying, they have to refute the 

1973
01:28:56,500 --> 01:28:57,600
facts that you're bringing to 
it. 

1974
01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:02,300
I don't have any Feeling or 
emotions about numbers and 

1975
01:29:02,300 --> 01:29:03,800
that's kind of the thing you 
have to have. 

1976
01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:06,000
If you want to vote for guys 
like Joe Biden, you know, the 

1977
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:08,600
feeling stuff is like he's 
obviously backing things like 

1978
01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:11,800
pro-abortion stances and trying 
to put federal dollars behind it

1979
01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:13,800
and and really changing the 
fundamental fabric of our 

1980
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:15,100
country. 
But when it comes just to the 

1981
01:29:15,100 --> 01:29:17,200
nuts and bolts of finances, I 
hope people vote with their 

1982
01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:19,900
pocketbook and look around and 
say am I richer or poorer than 

1983
01:29:19,900 --> 01:29:23,000
it was a couple years ago is 
gasoline a reasonable price. 

1984
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:26,200
Since we've dropped off the 
energy independent spectrum and 

1985
01:29:26,200 --> 01:29:28,100
I don't know, I like it when 
when people come and they say 

1986
01:29:28,100 --> 01:29:30,200
this is My guy and here's why. 
And these are the numbers and 

1987
01:29:30,208 --> 01:29:33,000
this is the performance record 
and they're hard to refute. 

1988
01:29:33,100 --> 01:29:35,200
It's very weird to me that 
somebody would support this 

1989
01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:38,400
other guy for so-called class 
and decency. 

1990
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:41,300
And we'll put out a video 
tomorrow that you have been 

1991
01:29:41,300 --> 01:29:44,600
working on very, very hard and 
put many hours into for people, 

1992
01:29:44,600 --> 01:29:47,200
to kind of see just a quick 
taste of what the the hope. 

1993
01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:49,700
And decency looks like in this 
particular Administration, which

1994
01:29:49,700 --> 01:29:54,400
is it's not there, I don't know,
like it's just not, it's not the

1995
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:57,200
thing that we thought we were 
signing up for maybe, maybe tell

1996
01:29:57,200 --> 01:29:58,400
people where they can catch your
show. 

1997
01:29:58,900 --> 01:30:01,100
Where they can follow you, all 
those kind of things. 

1998
01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:03,900
This kind of comment area is 
what you, what you do, these are

1999
01:30:03,907 --> 01:30:06,100
the facts and the numbers you 
bring to bear on it. 

2000
01:30:06,300 --> 01:30:08,800
And and obviously, I wanted 
people to have a real world 

2001
01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:12,700
experience of how you got there,
how you became someone who was 

2002
01:30:12,700 --> 01:30:15,300
interested in politics, and what
your credibility is on the 

2003
01:30:15,300 --> 01:30:17,100
background when they when they 
go and listen to your show. 

2004
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:20,400
Thanks Kyle. 
You can find me on Elevate TV. 

2005
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:23,300
You guys can see the poster 
behind me, I'm over on LFA TV. 

2006
01:30:23,300 --> 01:30:25,800
It's exclusively on Rumble. 
It's a new up-and-coming news 

2007
01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:28,400
network. 
One of the greatest news. 

2008
01:30:28,500 --> 01:30:30,000
Works. 
I think that that you'll find 

2009
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:32,200
out there we have, we have no 
filter. 

2010
01:30:32,300 --> 01:30:34,000
We don't hold back, Jeremy 
Harold. 

2011
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:37,600
He's the CEO of LFA TV. 
He's never once tried to censor 

2012
01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:39,900
me, tell me what I can sit. 
Can't say it's just all about 

2013
01:30:39,900 --> 01:30:42,700
truth and honesty. 
So it's a great place to find an

2014
01:30:42,700 --> 01:30:45,900
alternative, an alternative take
on. 

2015
01:30:45,900 --> 01:30:47,700
What the mainstream media is 
trying to brainwash you into 

2016
01:30:47,700 --> 01:30:49,800
believing. 
I also do a lot of stuff on 

2017
01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:51,700
YouTube, as well. 
My YouTube channel is right and 

2018
01:30:51,700 --> 01:30:54,900
Matta, you can find me over on 
Twitter at Ryan Madam media. 

2019
01:30:54,900 --> 01:30:56,400
You can find me on Instagram at 
Ryan. 

2020
01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:58,300
Met a news, search Ryan, Matt up
pretty much. 

2021
01:30:58,500 --> 01:31:02,000
A platform on almost every one 
of them with a different end 

2022
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:03,900
because I've been deep, you 
know, at one point they were all

2023
01:31:04,100 --> 01:31:06,600
Ryan Maddow or Shots by matter, 
but I've lost so many have been 

2024
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:09,700
D platform by so many. 
That, you know, I be coming with

2025
01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:12,300
the second best I guess. 
And you're on true social at 

2026
01:31:12,300 --> 01:31:13,600
Ryan. 
Matt, I just the straight name, 

2027
01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:15,200
correct? 
Yes, sir, yes, sir. 

2028
01:31:15,300 --> 01:31:17,600
And what time is your show on 
elif elif? 

2029
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:20,100
A TV with a TBI it's called 
shows called. 

2030
01:31:20,100 --> 01:31:22,800
Matter of fact and it's on every
day at 2:00 p.m. 

2031
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:24,700
I'm kind of jealous that you're 
using. 

2032
01:31:24,700 --> 01:31:28,000
That is so it's so applicable to
adding like a cool clever 

2033
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:29,500
phrase. 
At the end of it, I don't have 

2034
01:31:29,500 --> 01:31:31,100
anything like that. 
If I said something about 

2035
01:31:31,100 --> 01:31:34,300
Serafin, it'd be like Serafin, 
some kind of shark fin soup or 

2036
01:31:34,300 --> 01:31:36,900
something. 
And I have to really stretch to 

2037
01:31:36,900 --> 01:31:40,300
make something clever on there. 
All right, folks, will, you can 

2038
01:31:40,300 --> 01:31:41,800
follow Ryan? 
I'm really appreciative that he 

2039
01:31:41,800 --> 01:31:44,500
spent some time with us today. 
I think that I think there's 

2040
01:31:44,500 --> 01:31:47,100
some value in all the things 
that he's had to share and the 

2041
01:31:47,100 --> 01:31:49,900
key thing to I think is that 
this country needs father's, 

2042
01:31:49,900 --> 01:31:53,000
Ryan is one of those fathers and
so I'm very appreciative of him 

2043
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:55,300
spending some of his time during
the work week, he has been 

2044
01:31:55,300 --> 01:31:57,400
working on the behind the 
scenes, so don't be surprised if

2045
01:31:57,400 --> 01:32:00,000
you hear more from And see more 
from the two of us, kind of 

2046
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:02,700
building the stuff up and thanks
for what you're doing bud. 

2047
01:32:02,900 --> 01:32:05,000
We will talk again real soon. 
And the ladies and gentlemen, 

2048
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:07,000
you have been listening to the 
Kyle seraphin show. 

2049
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:08,900
I know we went a little bit 
long, we like to do that on 

2050
01:32:08,900 --> 01:32:11,200
these Monday's want to read a 
five-star review that came off 

2051
01:32:11,200 --> 01:32:14,100
Apple. 
We've reached over 550 of those 

2052
01:32:14,100 --> 01:32:16,900
reviews that's from you all 
putting those five star reviews 

2053
01:32:16,900 --> 01:32:20,100
out there. 
This one is from JW Rost and it 

2054
01:32:20,100 --> 01:32:22,500
is entitled, man of Courage. 
I'm going to skip some sort of 

2055
01:32:22,500 --> 01:32:25,400
the the the very complimentary 
things he had to say about me 

2056
01:32:25,400 --> 01:32:26,900
and I'm just going to dump into 
it. 

2057
01:32:26,900 --> 01:32:29,200
It's not too many people would 
be brave and yes, heroic when it

2058
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:32,100
comes forth to saying what you 
have to say about their former 

2059
01:32:32,100 --> 01:32:34,500
employer, your podcast is 
informative and honest. 

2060
01:32:34,500 --> 01:32:37,300
And I pray that you continue to 
expose the corrupt institutions 

2061
01:32:37,500 --> 01:32:40,800
in our government and the 
malignant cancerous individuals 

2062
01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:43,600
who have betrayed this country. 
God bless God, bless you as 

2063
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:45,800
well. 
JW, Ross, we're appreciative of 

2064
01:32:45,800 --> 01:32:48,000
all the prayers that people are 
doing that is what keeps us a 

2065
01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:51,300
loft here in many, many ways? 
And it keeps us going along. 

2066
