	How are you doing, Cassidy?
	It's it's uh awesome to have you on, man.
	I'm doing good yourself.
	I'm doing well.
	So I um I have uh guys night with my neighbor Brett every Thursday and a couple other neighbors, and uh it usually devolves into watching YouTube videos, and that's how I found you.
	My buddy Brett was like, Have you seen this fucking guy that goes to these city council meetings?
	Yeah, and we were just dying laughing a few months ago.
	And I saw you on Twitter, I was like, holy shit, I'll just DM them and see if you uh see if we'll come on.
	So thanks for doing that, dude.
	Yeah, no problem.
	I actually didn't even want to make a Twitter, and my and uh my friend talked me into it, and then I mean, I guess it worked out pretty well.
	So yeah, when when did you start it?
	Uh like two months ago.
	Wow, man, you're blown up there.
	I no, I know it was insane.
	It was like literally instant.
	Yeah, so is it just because you have so many subscribers on YouTube, or like did you push it on?
	No, organically.
	My well, my YouTube literally had nothing to do with it because like most of the people a lot of the people on YouTube, they don't even go on Twitter like that.
	Same with Instagram, it's like totally different people.
	So I found that I found that um the two easiest platforms to grow on are Twitter and TikTok.
	Um I've had a really hard time with YouTube subscribers, man.
	It's taking me forever.
	Oh, YouTube's difficult because you have to make longer videos, number one, and now it's even more hard uh more difficult um to grow on YouTube just because of how screwed up the algorithm is.
	Um but as far as like Twitter is good, because actually the a lot of the people from Twitter they'll go subscribe uh to you the YouTube channel versus like on TikTok, does nothing because I've got millions of views on TikTok, it does nothing for the YouTube.
	Yeah, I I haven't had millions of views, but I just kind of started taking it seriously.
	But I have had hundreds of thousands, and and yeah, it's amazing how easy it is to experience that virality on TikTok without any followers.
	It's like that's basically the saving grace of the platform.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Because now these other platforms, you know, like YouTube and um what's it called?
	Instagram.
	There's so many people on there that it's hard to uh grow as much in their algorithm.
	They keep changing their algorithm.
	Yeah.
	So do you think that it's um do you think that there's actually like shadow banning going on, or do you think that people just suck at making interesting content?
	They're like shadow banned.
	No, I mean there's some people that suck at it, and there's some people that actually get shadow banned.
	So yeah, it's real.
	You know, it's not some conspiracy theory.
	It's literally real.
	It's like, why can't you even search these people up and find them?
	Like you have to literally search somebody's full name uh on Instagram to find them.
	Yeah, and the last four digits of their social.
	Oh, here they are.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So how is it that have you had have you ever had any YouTube strikes on your account?
	Because I couldn't believe that was really but the these were for something like completely different.
	It was like a long time ago, I did this like prank where I had these fake balls, and they um they were uh yeah, it was like at the election polls, the vote the voting polls.
	This was like 2020 election.
	And uh I was doing that, and uh I mean like I wouldn't do content like that again, but at the time, you know, it was it was funny to me.
	So and the reactions, but still like um, you know, they said that it was you know, I have my genitals out or whatever.
	Like, no, it's clear, it's like that it's clearly tell it's not, but whatever.
	Yeah, you got genitals.
	And then I got one.
	No, and then I got one for um doing the I used to like do these videos uh catching child predators, and um were they real?
	Anyways, well, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Um you would bait them.
	Yeah, I would use like the account on whatever dating app, and it was all gay people too.
	That's the thing.
	They're all gay.
	So um anyways.
	Uh yeah, so they're actually still up on YouTube, not on my channel, but people re-uploaded them.
	I'll probably cut them down a little and put them on Twitter.
	But um, I mean, they were like insanely eight to ten million views like on those and then like then after a while, like I think that's when YouTube shadow banned me or something, and then they started getting less views.
	So yeah, those got a strike because they said bullying harassment, you can't harass the predators.
	Oh my god, that is so ridiculous.
	But literally to catch a predator was on cable TV for like 20 years or something, right?
	So it's okay for like public broadcast cable TV, the same exact approach.
	But then if you did if you do it on your YouTube channel, like oh dude, I went more I went way more hard on them, dude.
	I would scream and I would scream in their face and stuff.
	Oh my god.
	What does it do?
	Like what do you remember one in particular?
	Like did they just cry or what?
	Like they were so scared because they thought because I would dress up as this um redneck cowboy and go do it.
	And dude, they yeah, I mean they were scared, dude.
	I mean, it was good, it was good content, people loved it.
	And it was like it was good content, it was like doing it a good cause, good cause, you know.
	And yeah, yeah, it's great to win win.
	It's a win-win.
	Exactly.
	YouTube doesn't like that.
	We gotta be nice to the pedophiles.
	We gotta have respect them.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, you know, they're just they're minor attracted persons.
	Maps, it's just normal.
	Yeah, it's a sexual orientation.
	Yeah, yeah, I can't I can't I can't believe it.
	LGBTQ plus maps.
	So they want.
	So um did you like decide I want to be a social media like influencer?
	I want to like just get as many followers as possible and then start making content, or were you just like goofing around with your buddies doing pranks and then it just like blew up?
	Um I mean, I mean I would just watch pranks back in the day, and then I just kind of started doing them for fun, and then it eventually blew up.
	Have you ever been clocked doing it?
	No, I mean I never do anything to I've I I've never done anything to that extent.
	Like I I know like when I should stop.
	You can yeah, you can you can sense the line.
	Especially now, I've kind of like changed I've I mean I've changed a lot, so like I've changed up my content.
	I don't, you know, I kind of I I want to do something that's like beneficial.
	Actually, you know, the pranks a lot of pranks are just stupid.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So you're you're trying to figure out a way to like leverage it so that you can also have like an impact.
	Yeah, so I mean, like with what I've been doing, and I'd rather do things for like giveaways and stuff like that as well.
	Oh, your camera's frozen.
	No, I'm just holding really still.
	Am I moving now?
	No, no, you well, you look good, I look good.
	I think we're gonna be okay.
	Okay.
	On my end, it looks like it's all right.
	I don't know.
	Can you okay?
	I take it.
	Well, yeah, um, I would I would just rather do something that actually has more of an impact.
	And plus, like just doing the same thing for five years, it gets old, man.
	It gets so old.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So like did you when you started doing it, were you like, all right, this is gonna be like my side hustle, I'm gonna make money off of it.
	Or and did it like wind up becoming a like a job where it felt like it was you were going to work every time you were going to do anything.
	No, I mean uh I mean I wanted to make money off of it.
	I didn't know if I was going to, but then I it it worked out, and then I mean it's it's not even like it's work sometimes.
	Um, because I enjoy it, but I mean I feel like if I'm overdoing it and like start stressing about oh, I need to get these videos, I need to get these videos, and it becomes like work and it's like not even fun anymore.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I've um try to strike that balance too with this podcast.
	Like when I started this podcast a year ago, I was doing an episode like every day for a couple of months, every couple of days.
	Oh my gosh.
	And it's it's easy to burn out.
	So now I just like I do one when I feel like it, and and that's the ticket.
	But I don't know, man.
	Like, I'm I have such mixed feelings about it because I'm the same way as you like I want to make content and I want it to like have an impact, but at the same time, it's like I could invest money and time into these platforms, and then like by the flip of a switch, they could just say bye, you know.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That I mean, that's why you gotta kind of be on every single platform, at least like you know, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and I'd say Facebook too, but Facebook's so difficult, man.
	Now, like I have a pretty good Facebook following, but dude, they are just they're just it's just terrible the algorithm on there, man.
	My problem with Facebook is um like I don't want to alienate the people I know.
	Like I'm totally aware of it.
	Oh, I mean, like, I mean, no, not on not like that, but like an actual Facebook page.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But like it has done.
	even then, even if you have millions of followers on your Facebook page, if you post without boosting it, it's not it's not gonna get the reach.
	No, no, I mean, like a few years ago it could, but now it's just yeah, they want people to pay for that reach.
	That's it.
	Right.
	So you might as well just have no followers and pay for ads to begin with, you know.
	Yeah, but Instagram is man, Instagram and YouTube are really hard to grow on.
	I've heard I I don't know what it is.
	Like, I must be doing something wrong.
	I've even tried taking classes online um to like figure out like hashtag uh approaches and stuff, and it's just so hard because by the time by the time you do the the course, like the algorithm changed, just like you said.
	So it's that's a little it was a little bit of like um uh a lost cause in that in that sense, but I think it's because like there's not like a retweet feature, so it's just so much more difficult to go viral on that platform.
	I don't I haven't figured out how it works.
	Yeah, no, it is difficult.
	I mean, it helped me a lot when I got shared from other big pages, yeah.
	Like uh DC Draeno and uh man can't remember the oh, I mean there's a couple other pages that share me, but that helped a lot.
	But as far as like just getting viral on your own on Instagram, that is hard.
	Yeah, but it seems to be um it seems to still like be the moneymaker for Facebook.
	I think that um I think that they're on their way out in terms of Facebook just because the demographic on there is so much older.
	But like, don't you think it's a shame, man?
	I don't know if you remember I think you're it says uh I was looking you up, you're born in 92, so you must remember 10 years ago when Facebook was awesome.
	Do you remember that?
	Or was that like a little bit before your time?
	No, yeah, yeah.
	I use fate I used Facebook all the time, and um, you know, I didn't really use Instagram.
	Um but yeah, now Facebook is just a bunch of old boomers, it seems like.
	Yeah.
	What I um I mean, I just remember being in college and like like it was just like the movie social network, like you use it to check out check out girls that you were interested in, and like I don't know.
	It was just it was actually a social network, and now it now it just feels like ad central and uh like neighborhood groups and um not a full people.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	I don't know what they did.
	Do you think they're gonna uh ruin Instagram the same way?
	Uh no, no.
	I don't think so.
	It's just it's just a completely different crowd on Instagram.
	Yeah, I don't think so.
	Yeah.
	So do you think um do you think that we're gonna be able to solve the censorship problem?
	Ha no.
	It's it's just over, huh?
	No, it's it's it's gonna get worse, I think.
	So yeah.
	Have you been following the uh World Economic Forum stuff?
	I've looked at some of it.
	I mean, I already know, like, I don't need to dig that like I don't need to check on it all the time.
	Like, I already know what's happening, I know what's going on.
	It's just like why even uh damage myself even more, you know.
	I already know yeah, it's like well, I don't need to see every little thing they're doing.
	I know exactly like, yeah, they're evil, they're doing this and that, and you know, it's like watching the news every day.
	Like, why would you do that?
	Why would you do that to yourself?
	Yeah, well, it's not really a very good use of time either.
	Like you should worry about the stuff that's like within your circle of influence, right?
	Like the seven habits of highly effective people.
	Wait, like what?
	Uh, did you ever read that Stephen Covey book, Seven Habits Highly Effective People?
	No, I didn't.
	It's like a it was like one of the first famous self-help books from 50 or 60 years ago.
	And one of the one of the habits is um uh about your circle of influence.
	So like don't worry about the don't worry about the shit that's out of your control, just worry about the stuff that you can.
	Yeah, no, that's that's very true.
	And uh, you know, I feel like I have some you know control of you know, like when I make those videos and stuff, I can you know help people and you know make at least make people laugh, wake some people up, but at uh in the end, you know, like there's only so much we can do, so like why just keep worrying about it?
	Yeah, I will and it's one thing to just sit and like worry and stew.
	My grandmother used to do that in the nursing home because they would just like you know, they would just roll Fox 24-7 into her room.
	So she's like panicking because she can barely walk and like knows all the world's problems.
	Yeah, right.
	And I um, but like on the other hand, you you don't want to like miss that kernel of opportunity where you can make a difference, right?
	Like, yeah, if you stare, if you look at a Rubik's cube long enough, you're gonna be you're gonna figure out how to do it without having to look it look it up.
	Yeah, you're just you know, and so like I I don't maybe that's why I'm like so obsessed with politics.
	I'm not like a news junkie, but I am like obsessed with like all the shit that's going on right now just because I I feel I'm just I feel so offended, like at the audacity of of what's happening, and yeah, I I can't stop staring at it because I'm just like trying to find a like a weakness, like what can I do here?
	What can I do there?
	You know, and I yeah, I don't know.
	I feel like the ocean on its own, but look, if you're not if you're not tweeting every five seconds about it, like you're not doing anything.
	Do something, okay?
	No, but seriously, it's like, yeah, like, yeah, if you're gonna go actually do something about it, like then yeah, that's good.
	But if you're just gonna sit there and like worry about it, it doesn't do anything.
	Yeah, but you know, you know why, and you know why like these crazy leftists and these LGBTQ freaks, you know why they've gotten so far is because they actually go out and they push, push, push, push, push, and and and you know, and these uh, you know, a lot of these Christian conservatives, they just let them have they just give them that, they just give it to them, they just give it to them, keep backing up, they keep backing up because they're scared.
	Yeah, it's like this, it's the slow retreat, and then all of a sudden you're on the edge of the cliff.
	That's what's happening right now, so they can they can thank themselves.
	Here's the thing, they're like, Yeah, you know, it just doesn't affect me, so I don't care.
	Oh, really?
	It's not affecting you right now.
	Yeah, but I wonder, you know, but I wonder because if you if you were to just watch the news and listen to the critical theorists that are running all of our institutions, yeah, you would think that there's like 17 people that think remotely close to either you or I, you or me.
	Yeah, yeah, when it's the opposite.
	I yeah, I th I think that like 80 percent of America.
	I mean, not I'm not saying 80% of Americans voted for Trump, but I think like 80% of America is like this is some bullshit going on right now.
	Like, there's there's no way that more than 20% of people in the United States support uh uh Joe Biden, and that's with 10% of the population having an IQ of less than 85.
	Yeah, no, I I think a lot of people think like us, but obviously, yeah, like you said, they don't ever show that.
	So there's that.
	Um but the thing is most people are scared to do anything, they're scared to speak out because I'm gonna lose my job or whatever.
	Yeah, I well, there's definitely some truth to that, but like if you look at US history, the only time that actual political change has happened has been through civil disobedience, like whether it's suffrage, whether it's civil rights, whether it's pulling out of Vietnam.
	It's it took people just saying, Lock me up, I'm not doing it.
	Yeah, you know, exactly.
	And it doesn't have to be violent, you just don't obey, like it's just that exactly.
	Like uh like during uh you know, COVID.
	I didn't uh I didn't wear a mask, I didn't get the vaccine.
	Oh my god, I shouldn't stay in why you're still with us.
	I didn't stay in my house.
	I'm surprised I'm alive.
	It's crazy, right?
	And I was sure one of my exes would die at least.
	Yeah, so I mean, I didn't do any of that stuff.
	I'm here, like dude, and now they're with the whole monkey pox thing trying to scare everybody.
	It's just so funny, man.
	It's just a bunch of monkey business, dude.
	Yeah, and that's racist.
	The monkey pox is racist.
	Where's the whole where does the whole monkey race thing even come from?
	Dude, I don't know.
	All right, let's let's do a white one.
	What animal would we be?
	Um wow.
	A white one.
	I've never heard a white person like compared to an animal.
	Right.
	Like is a hockey an animal?
	That's is it similar to a donkey.
	No, I I have no idea.
	Is there an animal that's always albino?
	Um what a polar bear?
	I don't is white.
	Polar bears white.
	Yeah.
	I don't know, man.
	Polar bears a new racial slur.
	Yeah.
	So what do you um what are you working on these days?
	Just making content.
	Um, yeah, pretty much.
	Just making content.
	Um trying to not go insane.
	Um turning 30 this year.
	Yeah, I just turned 30.
	So congratulations, man.
	Yeah, I made it this far.
	Um, yeah, man, just making content, trying to just enjoy life, and um, I mean, that's really about it.
	Just trying to do whatever I can to uh you know, keep busy and stay out of trouble.
	Uh yeah, absolutely.
	Sorry, are you in Texas?
	Because I saw you with Alex Jones recently.
	Uh yeah, I'm in North Texas.
	Okay, cool.
	Cool.
	I got a buddy that lives up in Paris, Texas.
	He has the best beef I've ever tasted.
	Yeah, no, North Texas is the best, man.
	So I like it up there, man.
	My wife, when I uh convinced my wife to move to Texas, she agreed, but she said that she wanted to live in a city, and so oh my gosh, no, don't live in a city.
	I tell you what, living in Austin, Texas is better than anywhere in California, though.
	Yeah, but you don't want to live in Austin.
	That's a liberal crap hole.
	Yeah, but every time they pass a liberal law, the governor shuts it down, seems like so better.
	A blue city and a red state than a uh red city in a blue state, man.
	Suit yourself, man.
	I would go to North Texas though.
	Yeah, I'd like to one day if I have any money, I'll I'd like to buy some property up there.
	Yeah, I mean, uh it's gonna be cheaper here than most places.
	So I mean, Florida is super expensive, and it's not what you think it is either.
	Depends on where you go.
	It's just it's just crappy because that you know, the air and the heat and just the constant rain and rising uh ocean levels, uh destruction, man.
	No, I mean that's a good way.
	That was a good way for them to scare people so they can just get your money.
	What do you mean?
	What the climate change stuff?
	Yeah, how'd they get my money?
	Uh taxes, yeah.
	Oh, you mean yeah, for the yeah, more taxes for that.
	We need tax, pay higher taxes for that.
	We need to pay higher taxes for the Ukraine, we need to pay higher man, dude.
	They're literally criminals making the laws.
	It's great.
	Yeah, yep, we're being betrayed every single day by both the right and the left.
	You know, exactly.
	That's what I'm saying.
	Man, in the last five years, if I learned anything, it's just it's that there's just one party, and one of them says some things that I like sometimes, but they never ever do the thing that they say they're gonna do.
	Exactly.
	They never say it.
	You know who only does what they say they're gonna do?
	Yeah, God.
	Always does what he says he's gonna do, not these garbage scumbag political leaders, you know, and it's just a big WWE match.
	That's all it is.
	All these people are in bed together.
	You see Ted Cruz playing basketball with Jimmy Kimmel and uh what's his face?
	Dan Crenshaw, you know who that is, right?
	Yeah, that guy is terrible, man.
	Dude, he's literally part of the world economic form.
	Then there's a video of him saying, I just don't know much about it.
	I it's just like it's an organization, like it doesn't have any power.
	I was like, wait, he is so myopic, dude.
	He's a retarded.
	He he says that he said they don't have any power, meanwhile, the most powerful people meet there.
	Yeah, they don't have any power.
	I'm gonna fly uh 14 hours to go to one of their meetings.
	Yeah, just it's it's meaningless.
	They have no power.
	But you know, well, what's what's creepy to me about it is if you look up Klaus Schwab, it is almost impossible to find any subs uh substantial like background on him yeah i don't think he actually personally has a lot of money so it's like what is going on here how is this his family dude his family he's a Rothschild he is for real yeah and it's funny if you type it in like Klaus Schwab family or whatever the first things that come up is like fact check he's not a Rothschild is he's not
	He's not.
	It's like that should tell you all by itself that he is because his mom is a Rothschild and he's married to a Rothschild.
	So he's incestuous.
	Yes.
	So I've never actually spent any time looking into the Rothschild conspiracies.
	I know that it's like this massive conglomeration of power and banking, right?
	Or something?
	Yes.
	They control the Fed.
	Do they own it?
	I mean, yeah, they literally have full control over the Fed.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	you could have control over the Fed would you even want to would I want to um I would just shut it down yeah what do you think would happen if we did that right away would it be like um I'd something yeah they'd be dead like John F. Kennedy he he he tried he ended up dead yeah I think that they I think the CIA killed him because he tried to shut it no don't ever say that the government would never do something like that.
	They don't ever do anything bad.
	You know what's funny, especially, too, because if you ever say, like, oh, well, the shooting at the school today was done by the government.
	And somebody's like, how dare you say that?
	Kids were dead.
	Wait, the government would never kill kids?
	They would never, like, have anything to do with that?
	They only, you know, they've tried to force everybody to take this, what's it called?
	This, my gosh, I'm trying to think of the word.
	Basically, the, oh, my gosh.
	I cannot think of the word right now.
	But anyways, I mean, dude, they've done tons of other things before.
	You know, they've experimented with radiation on people.
	They've, you know, the 9-11, the Vegas shooting.
	Oh, an experimental drug, the vaccine.
	They're trying to force people to take that.
	But hey, you know, they never do anything like that.
	So I got an interesting story for you.
	I have type A hemophilia, the bleeding disorder.
	Are you familiar at all with hemophilia?
	Basically, my blood doesn't clot.
	So I, like, bruise easy.
	And I bleed, like, internally all the time.
	And if I don't have my medicine, my life expectancy is, like, 11 years.
	And I'm just, like, a crippled, achy mess, like, death.
	And anyway, in the 80s, they...
	started making like this synthetic protein that my my DNA doesn't make to clot they started making the synthetic version of it for hemophiliacs to inject um to so they could live and um they knew that the blood they were using to make the medicine was contaminated with hepatitis and HIV and they didn't tell the parents and 10,000
	and hemophiliacs died in the eighties given medicine from their parents.
	So when this whole COVID thing started, regardless of what anybody thinks about anything specific, I was not adamant to trust the pharmaceutical, big pharma.
	Yeah, of course not.
	And that was just like, that was just like 40 years ago.
	I mean, like we'd like to think that like, Oh man, everything's been so great since the Renaissance, like, you know, before everything was crazy, but like ever since the Renaissance, you know, everything's been, you know, really, you know, civilized
	but it's it's the same shit man yeah no it's only it's always gonna be that way dude so you can't trust these guys but then it's like oh if you don't take it you're a terrible person and it's so funny when people would take pictures pictures and videos of them getting the vaccine it's like what is wrong with you are you like that stupid yeah this the social proof aspect of it was was pretty gross.
	I've never seen people taking pictures pictures of them getting vaccinated till now it's like how is it cool now?
	How come it wasn't cool before like getting your flu Shot or whatever.
	Well, you know, because it was so heroic.
	You know.
	To get the um what's it called?
	Oh my gosh.
	Experimental drug to get the experimental drug, it's so heroic.
	I'll tell you what, man.
	Takes a set of balls.
	Balls you can't show on your YouTube channel.
	Yeah.
	So how much how much content are you produced?
	Like would has it gotten to the point where if you walk into like a town hall meeting or a city council meeting, I I assume that's what those were in your in your video.
	Do they are they like, oh shit, here he is.
	They know they've already been told about me.
	They've this one city council guy who likes me, he was telling me he's like, Yeah, they warned us like two months ago before you came, and we were preps for you and Alex Stein.
	That's awesome.
	Yeah, I was like, wow, because he made me laugh.
	Like when I was doing my bit in there, he made me laugh when I looked at it because he was laughing.
	Well, I'll I really enjoy watching the people behind you that are like half pissed off and half are like trying trying to have to laugh.
	Like when you were in that BLM shirt, dude, those guys behind you, like one of them was really like trying not to bust up.
	Oh, yeah, dude.
	I saw it.
	But his wife or the girl.
	She was pissed.
	Yeah, she was pissed.
	She's looking at her like for permission to laugh.
	So do you do any stand-up?
	Stand up, no, no stand-up.
	Yeah, you're saying if you were trying, you never tried it.
	Never tried it.
	It's just totally different, man.
	This is like improv versus stand-up is just so different.
	Yeah, I'm not like I know that they're not the same, but I just was curious if you're I've thought about it.
	I've thought about it.
	It's just you know, a lot different, but maybe I'll try it one day.
	I think the problem I would have with stand up, other than the fact that I'm not very funny, is uh I um I don't think that I could enjoy doing the same bit like 300 times.
	Like I um I I saw Joe Rogan six months ago at Vulcan here in Austin, and it was awesome.
	We're like you're in the small bar, it's like 150 bucks to get in, and he's like ironing out material for whatever special he's doing next, right?
	I go back two weeks ago, right?
	And he's doing the same routine, like yeah, it like perfected.
	You know, it's he's working on it, it's a little bit better than it was, but it's the same.
	So this dude's been telling the same routine every Tuesday night at Vulcan for 26 weeks, right?
	Wow, and it's like it obviously like the pros are the pros for a reason, but I don't think that I would find that very fun to like go up there like knock knock, you know, like or you know, why is it why is a chicken cross the road?
	Like it's only funny the first time to me, you know.
	Yeah, no, I agree.
	Uh that's that's the thing I was talking to because I was talking to Alex Stein about that, and he's like, Yeah, just telling the same jokes over and over.
	I was like, dude, I know, man.
	Cause like I I realized that a while ago.
	I was like, wait, they're telling the same jokes.
	I was like, okay, I I mean it doesn't seem too hard then.
	You just maybe if you spend a year working on your routine and just tell the same jokes, you might be successful.
	Yeah, but then a lot of guys do that and they they burn out, like they forget how to write.
	Like uh Jerry Seinfeld had to like burn all of his notebooks because he wasn't writing any new material.
	He was just doing old shit over and over again, and he caught himself and he's like, I need to just reset, you know.
	Yeah, but I mean it's like that's true for anything, like not just comedy, like it's really easy to get in um in a comfort zone and coast.
	No, I agree, man.
	Yeah, a lot of people do that, but that's when you need to stop being lazy and uh get it together.
	Because I I've caught myself doing that, and I'm like, wow, I need to I need to get it together, I need to start writing new material, otherwise, like you're not gonna get anywhere.
	Do you think it's like um laziness, or do you think it's just people don't have it, like don't they can't find a purpose?
	You know what I mean?
	Like, I I'm like I'm the kind of type of guy I can work 48 hours straight, but it has to be something that like I'm fulfilled by, right?
	Yeah.
	I mean, I feel like you just kind of get used to it, so you don't change anything because you're like, oh, I'm good, I'm doing this, whatever.
	But yeah, I think I think you know, after a while, like you should change something.
	Like, I don't want to do the same thing over and over.
	I'd lose my mind.
	Yeah.
	So where do you see yourself in 20 years?
	20.
	I have no idea.
	Do you have any kids?
	I have one.
	I have one daughter.
	She's four months old.
	But congratulations, dude.
	My daughter's one and a half.
	Oh, nice.
	Thanks.
	Same to you.
	Same to you.
	Thanks, man.
	It's a special feeling, isn't it?
	Oh, yeah, it's awesome.
	It it was funny at first because she's so like fragile.
	I mean, she she's not like that anymore, obviously, because I would be scared to hold her.
	Yeah, dude.
	You don't want to fuck that up.
	That's a nightmare.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But now she's she's good.
	She's a lot, she got big quick too, man.
	So they grow fast.
	My uh my daughter smacked her head on the floor today.
	It was the loudest sound I've ever heard in my life.
	And I don't know how she's alive, but she got up.
	Wow.
	I yeah, she like fell off a chair, you know, and it was just one of those things like perfect, you know, wrong time, you know, perfect kind of like second that I looked away.
	And it was man, that sounded just so terrible.
	That's scary.
	But hey, I've been smacked over the head with like I remember I was playing with my uh was it I was playing with my uh sisters.
	This is when I was in high school, and um one of my little sisters takes like a a toy laptop computer, smacks me over the head with now that hurt, like I I and and but was it a whackintosh?
	No, I mean yeah, it's I get the joke.
	Uh no, I mean I was like I wasn't even looking, and then out of nowhere, I just feel this thing hit my head, and I'm just on the ground, like I'm about to cry.
	Yeah, it's so bad.
	That's the worst.
	I can't even rem I think the worst pain I've ever been in is I jumped across a creek when I was a kid and I landed wrong on my ankle and it like hyperextended it, not extended, but I don't know if the other way where your toe goes to toward your shin, and that was the worst feeling ever.
	You know, I've hurt myself, I've cut myself before where like I guess like I didn't even know I cut myself.
	I remember I was riding my bike and I I wrecked it, and then I went home and I realized I had this huge cut on my leg.
	I'm like, I didn't even know I had this.
	Can I ask you some uh dad questions that I've been thinking about?
	Uh go for it.
	All right.
	So when I was a kid, and I imagine you have a similar upbringing.
	Um, I grew up in the Midwest, and when I was a kid, my mom would send me out in the morning on my bike, and she'd say, be home by the time the street lights come on.
	That was the rule, right?
	So me and my buddies, we'd ride all over the neighborhood, we'd go to the gas station and get sodas or launch or whatever, shoot up fireworks all day.
	Like that was all summer, all day.
	Yeah, would you let your daughter have the same childhood that we had?
	No, because just how much things have changed, I wouldn't.
	Yeah.
	Do you think it's actually gotten worse and more dangerous, or do you think that we just hear about it constantly because of social media?
	I think it's a combination of both.
	Like, I don't I mean, just look at these like man.
	That is a good that is a good question, because I don't like cops have objectively gotten less violent and less racist over the decades.
	But everybody, though.
	Is that a good thing?
	Regardless, everybody thinks that they're way worse than they than they ever have been.
	Yeah, it's just because of social media.
	Yeah, every time the cop screws up, yeah, you see it a million times.
	Yeah, we don't we didn't see it before.
	I mean, I feel like there's more pedophiles and stuff like are out in the open more well, yeah.
	Cause the internet, like it's way easier to get your own.
	Well, no, it's normal.
	They're they're normalizing it though, with the whole drag queen story time and all this these freaks.
	Yeah, you know.
	Wow, but why though?
	Like, why would they do that?
	Why?
	Because I thought there were like I thought there were like eight of them.
	No, yeah, you know what?
	You're you're you're probably right.
	It's probably not as bad.
	Um as we think, but it's different with a girl, dude.
	Yeah.
	If you had a son, would you let him ride his bike all over the place when he's like 12?
	12.
	I mean, uh around the neighborhood.
	Yeah.
	Like I mean, there has to be a limit.
	You know, like and it depends.
	It didn't no, it depends on the location.
	It really depends on the location.
	Yeah.
	Like if you're in a nice area, like you're probably not gonna expect anything.
	There's low crime.
	But if you're in some, you know, crime ridden area, would you let your kid go around?
	It's yeah, it comes down to the location, really.
	Yeah.
	I just like I don't want to be a helicopter parent because I saw the helicopter kids when I was growing up.
	And I don't want to, I don't want a kid like that, you know.
	But at the same time, I don't want to be so hands off that you know it's that it's uh um rash or irresponsible.
	Yeah, no, I uh it's man, yeah.
	I think I think it just comes down to the location.
	So I mean, if we're in a good area and stuff, I mean, I'll probably just I'll trust it.
	So um speaking of location, if you get a chance, are you gonna go to Mars uh on a SpaceX flight if they have uh let the civilians go?
	Man, all that stuff's fake.
	You don't think you don't think that uh you don't think any of that's happening?
	You don't think the rockets are gonna spare are you flat earther?
	Look, I'll tell you this, man.
	We have I'm not gonna give you I'm not gonna give you a hard time.
	No, no, look.
	No, I'm just gonna tell you look, I can't prove obviously, like, oh, the earth is flat or whatever, but does it like there's no way we've been to the moon?
	There's no way.
	There's no way.
	It's it's all lies.
	If you think the government lies about everything, why would you think that you know NASA is telling the truth?
	Literally, the founder of NASA, he has on his tombstone Psalm 91, and talks about uh the how uh the the God's firmament.
	What let me read this.
	Oh, yeah, I know what you're talking about.
	Night Psalm 191.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And there's a bunch of uh there's a bunch of weird uh Antarctica um treaties, yeah, treaties and stuff that have very little explanation, and apparently the old encyclopedia Britannica talks about a firmament for a moment over here and some of that stuff.
	It says the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth his handiwork.
	Like, why would the founder of NASA put that?
	Come on.
	And there's no way there's no way that you know we're on this spinning ball that's going like what a thousand miles an hour plus.
	Like, there's no way.
	So let me ask you this.
	If the earth isn't round, then how come all the other planets look round?
	Then how come all the other planets?
	Yeah, like I look at the moon, it looks like a ball.
	I don't know.
	I mean, ask God.
	I'm not saying it's like for sure flat, but what I'm saying is I don't believe it's a spinning ball.
	Like spinning.
	It it could be round, but I don't believe we're spinning.
	You think we'd fly off.
	But also, but also people have like a big misconception of Earth.
	What do you mean?
	Like uh when they think of flat earth, they don't have the right um understanding of it.
	They don't even know what it actually is like.
	If you really if you see a real like flat earth, uh isn't it like a half circle with like an ice wall?
	Yes.
	I know my shit.
	Yes, but most people don't know.
	There's oh well right.
	They think like disc.
	Yeah, exactly.
	They have no idea.
	Look, I don't know if it's flat or not, but I just don't believe it's spinning at like whatever thousands of miles an hour, thousand miles an hour, whatever they say.
	It does just doesn't it it it it makes more sense for it not to be spinning.
	Yeah.
	I don't know, I don't know very much about physics um or the science.
	So I that's one of the things.
	Well, that's that's one of the things that's like so confusing about the uh the internet age is that like in I knew this growing up too.
	I I knew a couple of really smart people, um, just like everybody knows a couple of really smart people who believed like really bizarre things, like not flat earth, not politics, just like miss like stuff you'd never even imagine, right?
	And not even conspiracies, they just believe bizarre stuff.
	And I think like like one of the challenges with the internet is like if I want to sit down at the internet as a totally uh a neutral person and say, all right, I'm gonna flip a coin, and if it's heads, I'm only gonna consume content about why climate change is real.
	And if it's tails, I'm only gonna consume content about why it's bullshit and it's not happening or it's not man made, right yeah and like you can go on the internet and you could convince yourself of pretty much anything you can convince yourself that the world is round that it's flat like if you get down the wrong rabbit hole and like just lose a little bit of perspective you can you can totally get lost um yeah uh because of the access to information that we have you know but it's like it's pretty easy to tell what's real and isn't I could watch something and be like yeah this is
	real or this is a hoax like at this point.
	Did you see that um uh deep fake that uh MIT did where they um got Nixon to give his uh give his alternative speech he had an alternate he had an alternate speech in case the astronauts died um on the like moon mission and MIT was able to like use like facial AI and voice uh AI that analyzed all of his speeches and like was able to recreate his voice and he he was they were able to make a video that looked real of him giving the speech like announcing that all the astronauts were dead.
	No I didn't see it.
	It's crazy man.
	But I don't know I could I think I could be fooled I could be tricked.
	Like it's hard for me to look at things I have the opposite man we can get tricked.
	I'm just saying like for a lot of stuff you know it's it's it's gonna be pretty easy to tell if it's real or not.
	Yeah.
	Like compared to the average person, well, like the average brainwashed person who's watching the mainstream media believing that's real.
	Yeah.
	Well, that, that, that is true.
	Like I am absolutely like when I read 1984 growing up and brave new world and like, it's, I loved those books growing up, but they seemed very like out of touch and exaggerated.
	But like now we're in this situation where it's really obvious multiple times that like we're being lied to and you don't have to be, you don't have to be brilliant to figure it out.
	You just have to have the audacity to like, think about it first.
	a second right yeah and it and I'm not even talking about like major uh um conspiracy issues but just like tw the 2016 election for example like the only tenable explanation for why the polls were so wrong in 2016 when Trump ran against Hillary was that the polls were just lies.
	No they were they were lies like it just used common sense like how were they that wrong?
	Yeah exactly you know but people don't want to I mean I feel like the polls are the polls are always lies though.
	Yeah.
	Even like, even in, you know, 2020, they were saying, weren't they saying Biden was ahead in the polls, right?
	I don't know.
	That's good.
	Yeah, I'm pretty sure they were saying Biden was ahead in the polls.
	There's no way.
	I just don't understand how, I don't understand how you can get, you know, 84 million votes, but you can only have like 11 million real Twitter followers.
	Yeah, but those aren't even real.
	Those aren't even real.
	even real probably well the 22 million are half fake so I already did the math like 11 would be the real the remaining I don't even believe that I don't even believe that maybe like five million real um who do you think runs his Twitter?
	uh, the Rothschilds.
	Um, what are they going to say?
	Uh, it's funny because right, like right after Joe Biden got elected president, um, on his, they made it, they made a new Instagram account, the POTUS account on Instagram.
	And he had millions of followers instantly.
	I'm like, these are so fake.
	And they all were like, so supportive of him.
	I'm like, yeah, right.
	This is so fake.
	Well, I mean, good for him coming out of retirement and, getting a part-time job yeah like here's the deal man like I would rather have someone that I disagreed with on everything who was like coherent president than someone I totally agreed with who was out of their damn mind.
	Yeah and like at least Obama could speak.
	Yeah you could put together a sentence he still can and you know as much as I despised all of his policies he was a reassuring guy like everything felt like it was gonna be all right you know maybe it was going to be a little expensive but it was gonna be okay you know like he just gave that vibe off right regardless of whether that's you know like accurate but with Biden I'm just like, holy shit, like we don't know who's like somebody's running the country, but it's not him.
	You know, that's so creepy.
	But it's never been.
	It's never been like the president running the country for like years, dude.
	It's like it it hasn't.
	It's it's always been a shadow government controlling everything.
	I think after World War II is when that really started.
	The intelligence.
	Well, you know, I think I mean, I think it was before World War II because what's his Woodrow Wilson?
	He that's when he signed away, I believe was yeah, Woodrow Wilson, the Federal Reserve.
	1915.
	Yeah, 1913.
	I think that's when everything started it.
	That was that was certainly the economic crippling factor.
	But we we empowered the intelligence community so much during World War II, and the military industrial complex made so much money on that war that when it was suddenly over, it was there was just so much incentive for corruption to come into play to keep that machine rolling.
	And it's funny how people thought Roosevelt was a good president.
	FDR.
	Trash.
	Did you know that he seized everyone's personal gold except for their wedding bands?
	Wow, I didn't know that.
	You could not legally own gold in the United States during FDR during the depression, unless it was your wedding band or wedding ring.
	You had to give it to the government.
	Because the dollar was backed by gold at the time.
	And they needed gold in the treasury.
	Well, here's the thing.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	That was a great line, right?
	Despite who said it.
	Yeah, not him.
	I guarantee he didn't make that up.
	Yeah.
	You think you think he was just like talking to his wife, and he's like, What should I say?
	I'm so scared.
	I'm so nervous.
	I don't need to say she's like, you don't have anything to fear except fear itself.
	Yeah.
	He's like, that's it, Eureka.
	I got it.
	What's it?
	What's it called?
	It was funny because Biden uh when he plagiarized a bunch of people, uh, Johnny Carson called him out about or or he was talking about it on his show or whatever.
	And um after he was like, Yeah, after Biden, um, you know, he he talked about it.
	Um, he apologized, and then he told his staff we have nothing to fear but fear itself.
	hilarious.
	That's a survival.
	He went and plagiarized again.
	He plagiarized all these speeches, and hey, we have nothing to fear but fear itself.
	Plagiarized again.
	You definitely didn't come up with the line one small step for man.
	No, I love the one.
	Um was it?
	He he copied uh one of Ronald Reagan's uh speeches in the who did Joe Biden, Biden, Biden to the uh to the Navy.
	He gave it at the Naval Academy's graduation.
	That's see, that's why you write your own speeches.
	You're gonna have some dumbass intern write your speeches and they're gonna half-ass it because you're paying them seven bucks an hour to be on your shitty campaign, and they're gonna just copy and paste a Reagan speech and tweak a couple of things, but not good enough, and you're gonna wind up saying some stupid shit.
	Like write your own speeches, man.
	If you if you want to be president, then be president, don't outsource it.
	Be the puppet.
	You know, um and then I was gonna say, you know, all these people are just idolizing Donald Trump and uh, you know, the people get mad whenever I call Trump out.
	Yeah, yeah, I'm reluctant to call him out publicly because I I I don't want to lose my fans, but I have my fair share of criticisms.
	But the thing is mostly positive.
	You have to criticize him regardless of what people think, because he's never gonna change, he's gonna keep doing that same crap.
	That's why I feel I feel like I feel like he would be better, you know, if people actually criticized him instead of just sucking up to him all the time.
	You have to call just because you like someone, like, doesn't mean you shouldn't criticize them.
	I agree with you, but I think that's why he had so much turnover.
	I think anytime he got criticized, people got fired.
	Well, the thing is like operation warp speed is all him and the vaccine, and he loves to take credit for that.
	Like he loves it.
	But then it's like people are like, well, he's giving you the choice.
	So he's giving you the choice.
	You can take the poison, but you don't have to.
	You could take it, but you don't have to.
	I took it.
	I'm good.
	So here's to know if it doesn't work.
	My theory on the whole Trump thing is I think that Americans are incredibly frustrated and they don't necessarily know why, because uh they've been lied to so many times and they don't have any fucking time to figure out what's really going on because they're trying to figure out how to put food on the table for their families, and inflation is so so crazy that they have to send their kids to school to be raised by the state and both the mom and the dad have to work for so people don't have time to figure shit out, even if they wanted to, right?
	Yeah.
	And I think that what happen what happened with Trump is that people in America Americans are so desperately in need of like a populist hero, like a real hero president.
	Like fucking, you know, that's what I know, but but like emotionally, psychologically, like we're in need of of that.
	Like we're frantically looking for a leader and we can't find one.
	And and what happens is when you f when you believe you found that, like when you when you think you found gold and then you find out that it's that fake shit, it's not really fool's gold, that like your heart just sinks, right?
	And so I think that a lot of people who think that Trump was a hundred percent perfect, right?
	Are really just like deeply uncomfortable with the notion that we still don't have we don't have a leader, like you know, at least in Star Wars there was Luke Skywalker and there was Darth Vader, but now we don't even know who's who, you know.
	Yeah, dude.
	He I mean, dude, look, at the end of the day, look at all the presidents who've been in office.
	They're all they've all been corrupt.
	And you do you really believe that all of a sudden they just let someone in like Trump who's gonna save us?
	Come on.
	I don't know.
	I I think he might have uh actually pulled one over on him, but like a fluke thing, you know.
	But I mean, look, look, he gave he like look the first three years he did pretty good, and then the last year he just gave up.
	It's like he just gave in to everything the left wanted, you know, stimulus, and it's like, dude, people don't want to even blame him for inflation.
	Well, he's part of the problem too.
	Yeah, he's the one who's astronomical amount of money.
	Exactly.
	There's a latency too in that.
	Like, there's it there takes time from when you print it and spend it to when you feel it and the prices, so the latency is lined up.
	But yeah, exactly.
	It takes time.
	People don't realize that.
	And it's like, yeah, that's one of the reasons why there's such bad inflation right now.
	It's not just because of Biden.
	It's like Biden inherited let's let's be real.
	Biden inherited a pretty big mess.
	And he did that was that was yeah, the COVID thing though, like would really put Trump in a tricky situation because if he didn't do any of the stimulus stuff, then it would have looked like he didn't give a shit about anybody.
	Uh or people died, you know, like they would have blamed him for that.
	And but if but if he does what he did, then we have what we have now in terms of you know inflation problems and yeah, and then and then like obviously, you know, we should have never locked down.
	Right.
	That was just I mean, if we didn't lock down, we wouldn't have needed to do stimulus.
	That's right.
	That was the whole it was it was domino effect.
	And he was for it.
	He was for the lockdown.
	He said, We're locked down for two weeks.
	Like, come on, dude.
	Why didn't lock down for two weeks?
	I was disappointed that the um cities were burning after George George Floyd.
	No, that was art.
	And I was disappointed that he didn't do anything about it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Like he let a lot of cities.
	The mayor, he said the mayor can come and call the National Guard.
	I'm like, why don't you just do something?
	You're so he's so prideful.
	Just go do it.
	Yeah, like they didn't have the mayor get permission to take Florida or Texas.
	Exactly.
	Why you take Florida and Texas back?
	Like he should have literally just gone and sent them in himself, dude.
	Everything would have been good, dude.
	Would have been wiped out the problem in an instant.
	I tell you what, man, if I had a store in downtown Chicago, I'm a small business owner, but I work from a laptop, I'm a laptop warrior.
	But I know how much hard work and heart goes into building a small business as you do too, like with your content and stuff.
	Like it takes hours and hours and hours of determination.
	If if someone threw a brick through my window of my of my retail location during a riot, and the government refused to press charges or look at the video, or if they caught the guy, if they bailed him out, I would feel I would feel more angered at that.
	I feel more angry at that now than the actual brick coming through the window.
	Like I know the guy, it's inevitable that a guy's gonna throw a brick through a window.
	But what I was counting on was that the government would do the thing it was actually supposed to do, which is protect my private property rights instead of doing everything except for what you're supposed to do.
	Like, oh dude, 100%.
	They literally do everything except for protect the border or your rights, which are the two reasons that we have a government in the first place.
	Yeah, they don't do anything.
	So I mean that's why it comes down to the end.
	People need to stop, you know, uh relying on the government and just you know, do do what they can, like for it for themselves and their families instead of worrying about the government ha doing everything for them.
	You know what I mean?
	The people put too much um just reliance on the government.
	Yeah, well, and I think um a lot of that has to do with the fact that like a lot of people have lost their faith.
	Like we're not as Christian of a nation as we used to be.
	And I mean, we were really never a Christian nation.
	I understand, but there was a lot more cultural consensus around.
	I agree.
	I I agree with that, and that's why God's not gonna bless the nation.
	Because look, look at this abortion, uh, you know, freaking we got um uh what drag queen story time, gay marriage, like pride parades, you know, we're going and invading other countries for um, you know, no reason really, other than you know, we want to take people's resources, killing all these innocent people.
	Um yeah.
	Do you think God's gonna bless the nation that does that?
	No.
	Yeah.
	Well, and we can get really like nitpicky on like every every certain type of sin or lifestyle.
	But let's just let's just let's be as conservative as possible and let's just look at the Ten Commandments, right?
	I don't know them all off the top of my head.
	But I I I'm willing to bet that the government has violated all of them, right?
	So absolutely evil.
	That's what inflation is, right?
	Thou shalt not kill constantly killing people, right?
	Uh thou shall not bear false witness.
	They're constantly lying and getting caught under oath, right?
	Whether it's Fauci or whether it's Hillary Clinton stuff, uh, adultery, they're all fucking each other, right?
	Constantly.
	Yeah.
	Uh, what are the other ones that I'm missing here?
	Uh just fall covet, now I always want other people's shit.
	Yeah, thou shall not covet, right?
	That's the fifth one.
	What am I missing here?
	Maybe in the chat we can get something.
	Uh honor your mother, father.
	Um yeah, they don't do that.
	Um thou shall not uh oh my gosh.
	Oh, put any other gods before me.
	Um they do that I worship idols.
	Um, yep, everybody's doing that.
	Uh not everybody, but a lot of people a lot of the government leader, like it seems like our government is constantly violating all ten of the Ten Commandments.
	Like, no, that's bad, man.
	Like those the Ten Commandments are so good and solid that even people who don't believe in God are like, I'm cool with those rules.
	Yeah, you know what I mean.
	It's like, how do you think we naturally like you know, we know what is right and wrong.
	How how do you think we know that?
	Because God put that in us.
	It's not like it just randomly occurred.
	It's hardwired, man.
	Exactly.
	It's God put that in us, and you know, there's there's one savior, and that's Jesus.
	That's it.
	It's not gonna be Donald Trump.
	It's I'm I'm sorry, but it's not.
	So uh when's Jesus coming back?
	You know what?
	I don't know, because Jesus said only the father knows the hour.
	But uh, I feel like we're yeah, but he said that two thousand years ago.
	You don't think he got it out of him like a poker night?
	Well, you know, two thousand years to God is like, you know, it says in the Bible, like a thousand years to God is like a or sorry, a thousand years for us is like a day to God.
	It's like nothing.
	And he's being so patient, he's waiting on, you know, he's he's giving us time to, you know, um to change.
	But um obviously we see how that's going.
	He's being patient with us and he's you know, trying to show mercy, but because God obviously loves us, he cares about us, he gave his only his only son, Jesus Christ.
	So, you know, he obviously cares about us, but um, you know, all we have to do, it's it's so simple to be saved is believe on Jesus Christ, and that's it.
	But you know, um I guess people are too a lot of people are so prideful too that they don't want to do that.
	They just can't fathom it.
	It's like too much for them, you know.
	If you go to a rich neighborhood or uh not even like filthy rich, but you know, a neighborhood of with um uh that's just more wealthy in general, those people aren't gonna be very receptive to the gospel so much.
	That's true.
	And like yeah, prisoners read the Bible more.
	Like, I mean, uh I made a uh a joke the other day.
	I said, What's the difference between an atheist and a Catholic?
	And the answer, of course, is an atheist has read the Bible.
	Yeah, Catholic.
	Yeah, no, I say that all the time.
	I say Catholics would not be Catholics if they read the Bible.
	They wouldn't.
	They they literally have idols everywhere.
	Yeah, it's it's it's it's it's uh straight up old school kind of go ask a Catholic what their favorite Bible verse is.
	Uh and and and the thing is they they have like a uh a works-based salvation.
	Right.
	And that's the thing, like why people just can't fathom it because in the Bible it's that Jesus says, you know, it's it's easier for a camel to fit through uh a needle than for a rich man to get to heaven.
	That's because a rich man thinks that they have everything and they don't need Jesus.
	They he doesn't need it.
	That's it.
	And a lot of people are gonna go to hell because you know it says also in the Bible that uh narrow is the gate uh to heaven, and not many will enter, is because so many people they can't understand that they don't need to work their way into heaven.
	They most people want to work for it.
	They want to work their way into heaven.
	They can't get, oh, Jesus did this for me.
	I don't I don't even need to do this.
	Nothing I do is gonna get me into heaven.
	No, they want to do it themselves.
	Yeah.
	I think there's a lot of that.
	I also think too that a lot of people it's there, there's there's another side of the coin too, where um, you know, one of my favorite parts of of the gospel is when Jesus says, you know, let he who hasn't sinned cast the first stone.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	There are uh at least growing up in the 90s, I don't know if it's still the case, but there was a lot of sort of dogma and judgment that you could feel as a kid growing up, like in a church environment, if people weren't like living out the religion properly, whether they were making a mistake by accident or whatever.
	I think that turned off like generations, you know, of people uh who just felt like I don't know, they felt like the church got rebranded as a judgmental place rather than a for like a so like a salvation.
	It was yeah, you know, it like they flipped it, just like they made us racists.
	As if you're a republican, you're a racist or a sexist or whatever.
	Yeah, you know, they they rebrand you.
	So I don't know, like I think the Christians could do a better job of um being uh compassionate to um no, I agree.
	The opponent, I guess, the adversary.
	Man, yeah, especially like you know, if somebody if somebody clearly wants to change, then we shouldn't be like hounding them, you know what I mean?
	It takes time.
	Yeah.
	So did you uh did you get dunked or did you get baptized at birth?
	Um no, I uh I got I got baptized like a year ago.
	Well, congratulations, dude.
	Thanks.
	Yeah.
	Uh everybody else was getting vaccinated, you were getting baptized.
	That's right, man.
	I need that that's uh that's gonna be the new trend soon.
	This yeah, this cure don't need a booster.
	So what made you decide to get baptized?
	Um, you know, I just wasn't really happy with the way things were going and I wanted to change.
	And um, you know, my wife kind of helped me out too, so she helped me.
	She she uh got me into it.
	And then like from then on, I just started uh reading the Bible and um, you know, just watching a lot of uh videos and just looking into it more.
	So yeah, dude, I mean it's it's it's great, man.
	I think, you know, if people have even practiced, you know, or 20% of the Bible, like this would be a much better place.
	Yeah.
	The crazy thing to me about it is like regardless of whether or not the Bible is true, there is absolutely no case to be made for that book being anything other than um an absolute masterpiece.
	I mean it is the best book ever.
	And it's I get it.
	Like Leviticus is boring.
	Like I don't, you don't really like to read it.
	I get it.
	I get it.
	But like some of the messages, and like if you read like one of my favorite stories in the Bible is um uh the uh in the old testament, the Ark of the Covenant.
	Um, you know, it's a is a it's a big player.
	And uh, you know, of course they weren't allowed to touch the Ark directly, right?
	Otherwise, they would be and uh I think they were carrying it across the desert, if I remember the story, right?
	And one of the guys carrying it on the platform that they had to hold, like slipped, and the ark started to slide off the platform, it was about to fall on the ground, and one of the other men like reached up to catch it, and as soon as he like touched it was smitten, right?
	Like bolt of lightning.
	And I grew up thinking like, oh, that story is like about the uh wrath of God and just like obey and don't question, just do what he says.
	And like if you really think about it more, like I think the lesson of that story is don't do the wrong thing for the right reasons, because it's still the wrong thing, right?
	So, like he knew he wasn't supposed to touch it, but like the ark is sacred, you know, like he was trying to do the right thing, you know.
	Uh uh, but uh or he was doing it for the right reasons, but like it's still the wrong thing.
	So it's sort of like a an anti-Makiavellian like Bible story, and I just think that's it's so powerful to hear these stories and parables because you can keep going back to them, and as you change, their meaning changes.
	It's like a living document, you know, it's crazy.
	No, yeah, it's great.
	And what's funny too is that some people will try to say, well, like when Jesus is talking about hell being eternal uh fire, they're like, dude, he's just using parables.
	Wait, so when Jesus talking about hell, it's it's not really eternal, right?
	It's not hell fire.
	There's no fire in hell.
	He's using they can't tell you what the parable is, though.
	There's like a meaning behind it, you know what I mean?
	Yeah, yeah.
	But it's not a parable because hell is eternal hellfire.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I don't know, man.
	It's it's it's such a complicated and like deeply personal thing.
	And the older I get, the more I the more I appreciate how sensitive and important it is.
	And I just wish that I just wish that culturally we we could embrace tolerance again.
	Like I was watching uh Ayn Rand, uh, and you're probably not a huge Ayn Rand fan because she's a major atheist, but I like her um her books, and uh I was watching uh an interview that she did with I can't remember some dude from the 60s that looks like every other dude from the 60s, you know, on Wall Street.
	And uh she's she made this awesome awesome point.
	She's like, listen, she's like in the country that has the greatest protection of the freedom of religion, we have the least violence among religions.
	In a country that has the greatest amount of protection for freedom of speech, we have the least uh uh violence among uh political uh disagreements, right?
	Or or political factions.
	Just like where there's freedom, there's peace.
	And I wish that like I wish America would wake up to that wisdom.
	Like, listen, I'm not I'm not a Muslim, I don't like the religion, I don't want to follow it, but like I totally support anybody's right to practice that religion so long as it doesn't violate anybody else's rights.
	And it's like we have to get back to this point where we're willing to sit next to people that um we don't resonate with, but still realize that they're our neighbor or countrymen, you know.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I mean, like at the end of the day, um, you know, if if you don't believe on Jesus Christ, I mean you are gonna go to hell, but I mean that's so yeah, I hear it sucks.
	Yeah, I mean, but I get what you're saying.
	I get I to no, I totally get what you're saying, man.
	I'm not I'm not making a case like for or against hell or anything.
	I'm not trying to make it like no, I and I was I was all I was gonna say I was just laughing for a second.
	Uh You know, at the end of the day, God will take care of everything, God will take care of it.
	So, you know, yeah, I think it's I think it's good to have you know those certain freedoms and stuff like that, and you know, we need to go, we need to go back and instead of um you know why are they having parades for LGBTQ?
	You know, the government used to punish them, you know.
	They they need to start I'm not throwing any stones.
	Yeah, well, no, I mean, I mean, a lot of these people, like like in the schools, in the schools teaching the kids, these are pedophiles, they need to be locked up.
	Exactly.
	Anyone who's talking to kid about kid about sex, like even if it's a straight teacher, like hey, this by the way, this is like no, that's a conversation I get to have with my kid.
	That's not a conversation you get to have with my eight-year-old.
	Yeah, but you don't really see it that often from straight teachers.
	That's the thing, they're not teaching that nothing.
	I understand.
	I'm just saying hypothetically, like this isn't like a homophobia or a transphobia position.
	Like, just don't talk to my kid about sex, no matter who you are, what you like.
	I mean, I mean, I would probably get considered homophobic.
	Am I scared of gay people?
	No, I'm just telling you like what the Bible says, it says they're an abomination.
	I mean, that's what they are.
	Um my god, you're in hell, we got the camera and your camera went to hell, the internal temp is too hot.
	Yeah, no, I uh I I figured that would happen.
	Um but you can hear me.
	Um yeah, dude.
	So I I think that if we just started following, you know God's God's laws, you know, things would be a lot better, but you know, obviously, man is trying to do things their own way, and um, you know, I'm not I'm not gonna punish anybody, I'm not gonna do it.
	I mean, that's at the end of the day, that's up to God and the governing authorities.
	But what are they doing?
	They're letting criminals um out of uh out early, they're not punishing them at all, they're they're letting pedophiles in the schools teach the kids.
	I mean, what is seriously going on here, man?
	This is like all upside down.
	I wish that I knew the answer.
	I'm just as perplexed and disturbed.
	Well, I know the answer.
	It's because um the the devil uh has very little time and he's doing whatever he can, you know, at the last minute to just do as much as he can.
	And um, and then also not on top of that, you know, man is doing things their own way, and so many people are just deceived here, man.
	What do you mean?
	They think it's like, oh, let's let's be tolerant.
	Let's like let all these people do this and that.
	It's like, no, we we're not gonna let them do this.
	Because uh people being tolerant of these people's stupid ideas is why things are so bad right now.
	That's that's true, but on the on the on the other side of that the the problem is the intolerance from the left.
	So, yes, we gave an inch and they took a mile, but there was a time there was a time when there was a reciprocity of tolerance, and that's when it worked, but it's a two-way street, right?
	And if one side isn't tolerating the other, then it creates problems.
	And yeah, there was a time in uh I don't know, the 80s where people would actually be friends with someone that voted for the opposite candidate.
	Yeah, like and you hardly hear about that anymore.
	Like, no, I think they did a study recently.
	It's so far opposite.
	That's why it's so far opposite.
	Both parties use Democrat and Republican used to be pretty close.
	Yep.
	Yep.
	Now it's like a freaking, you know, one is like uh looney tunes and one is like realistic.
	Yeah, yeah, seemingly at least.
	But I don't know.
	We've got a lot of rhinos, too, man.
	We got problems in our own party.
	Oh no, absolutely, dude.
	That's why I've been calling out people like Ted Cruz and you know, um Dan Cuxhaw.
	Um I mean, dude, it's just so funny with Ted Cruz how he signs the this is what he does.
	He'll sign the the bill to give 40 billion to Ukraine.
	He's all for it.
	And then to distract people from going after him, um, he'll go and talk about the left.
	Ooh, the left, the left did this, the left did that.
	But it's like, dude, I get what you're doing.
	You're trying to divert the attention from you to the left.
	Yeah, well, you're like just classic lawyer tactics, lawyer, politician, swamp swamp crap.
	Exactly.
	And that's the thing about Trump.
	Um, speaking of the swamp, you know, he would only say drain the swamp, drain the swamp.
	It's funny because he said he didn't even like the phrase.
	He just said it because uh someone told him to say it, but he didn't even like it.
	And then on top of that, yeah.
	And then and then it's like, okay, he's adding to the swamp.
	I would just see him continuously adding more swamp creatures to the swamp.
	I'm like, how is he gonna drain it?
	This doesn't make any sense.
	Maybe that's the nature of the swamp.
	Like, you know, if you take a step in, you're just gonna sink no matter what your intentions I will say that one thing that Trump did accomplish, uh uh despite any criticism or praise, he definitely pulled the curtain away and revealed the inner um uh just corruption and wrangled gnashing of teeth.
	That is DC.
	Do you think well, do you think he wanted that though?
	Do you think or not him, but do you think that the elites wanted that?
	You mean to like uh provoke the right in order to uh uh um behave uh illegally so that they could just arrest them and just uh tamp down even more intense uh uh legislation against them?
	Yeah, like like for example, do you think that you know, obviously the shadow government and these billionaire families, do you think that they wanted Trump to do what he did so it could also number one cause more division, and then number two, so it's like look, they know exactly what's going on, but they can't do anything about it.
	I don't that's a good question.
	I don't know.
	I'm reluctant to say that our leaders are so competent as to hatch a boy like that.
	Like Adam Schiff, if you look at that guy, his face is vacant.
	I mean, he's a dumbass, like just dumb guy.
	I obviously like him, but I mean like the people really running the shit.
	Yeah, you mean you mean like the behind the curtain, nobody knows her name.
	I'm talking like, you know, the Kissinger, the Rothschilds, the Rockefeller family, Klaus Schwab, you know, those kinds of people.
	I think that there is a concerted effort among the political elite, and by political elite, that doesn't mean like anybody in Congress.
	I mean like the political, like what you're saying.
	I think there is a concerted effort to um steer the world toward globalism, because if the world is restructured under a globalist government, then it's much easier to secure your hold on power and wealth.
	Yeah.
	So the problem with democracy for for the political class, and the problem with individual rights for a political class is that you constantly have to compete and fight for your power.
	Yeah.
	And the only thing that the powerful want is to keep their power or grow it.
	And their greatest dream, what what would make them euphoric and blissful um uh would be to know to to go to sleep at night and have not a concern for the loss of their power.
	Yeah, right.
	They just want omnipotence.
	And I think that that's I think that that's why the globalists have conspired against their own people in many ways by these these trade deals that don't make any sense for for their people.
	I think that there is an understanding that we want to they want to conglomerate wealth and power, and that way it'll become like this sort of diynastic globalist elite forever.
	Um sort of new fief, and then you'll own nothing and you'll be happy and you'll work for for them and you'll pay, you know, everything will go straight to them, and they'll offer you protection, but protection will be easy for them to offer you because uh the whole world would be conquered under a globalist uh tyranny.
	Yeah, I I'm I'm not uh I'm not gonna live to see that day, even no matter when it comes, whether it's tomorrow, if years.
	I I I think it's gonna come soon.
	I think you know, because they they're they're gonna do a cyber attack soon.
	They keep talking about it.
	It will happen in the next couple years of cyber attack.
	Sure.
	And um, you know, it's funny how Klaus Schwab always knows what's gonna happen.
	It's like he's the one doing it.
	It's like he's behind it.
	Or he knows who it is.
	And um, you know, if that happens, then they're definitely gonna push those RFID chips.
	Yeah, I'm not gonna be able to do that.
	That'll be the answer.
	That'll be the answer.
	And you know, that that is literally the mark of the beast.
	Because if you have if you don't have that, they're gonna say you can't buy or sell watch.
	Yeah, I mean, they're already shutting down bank accounts of people who are too too radical.
	I mean, look what Canada did the truckers.
	They shut down Russia.
	Uh they didn't work, but they basically shut down their entire access to the external world.
	And that's one of the reasons why, you know, as much as I oppose Vladimir Putin, and I think that he does some cruel and evil things in terms of his leadership and the way he handles people that disagree with him politically.
	Um I I uh I see why he's doing what he's doing in Ukraine, because the Russian economy is so dependent on uh natural gas exports to Europe through Ukraine that it cannot it cannot tolerate any situation in which that um that that export avenue is is uh is threatened.
	And so right now, you know, before a year ago, two years ago, they were negotiating with Ukraine to run natural gas out of Russia through Ukraine into the rest of Europe, and it was fine.
	But as soon as Ukraine is part of NATO, then suddenly Russia has to negotiate with 30 countries who have been saying nothing but climate change stuff for the last 50 years about how how much it's going to be taxed or tariffed for exporting natural gas, which is like a huge part of their whole Russian economy.
	Like this war with Ukraine is about Russia claiming national sovereignty.
	Putin is saying, fuck you.
	I'm not gonna let the future of my country be determined by the every other leader of every other country.
	Like we are Russia, this is our fucking country.
	That's what he's saying.
	Part of my language, but I get kind of heated about this because I wish that America would claim its sovereignty too.
	And and like I said, I don't agree with with Putin.
	I think I think he's done some cruel and evil things.
	But I understand why as the as the as the leader of Russia and someone who I genuinely believes loves his country, right?
	Um I think he's doing what like what seems like the only tenable outcome.
	Like, what else am I supposed to do?
	Just wait for the wait for these people to steamroll me.
	Right.
	Maybe I'm just a dumbass, you know.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I think I think I think they're all bad.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, but some are worse than others.
	I agree.
	I think Zelensky's one of the worst.
	Dude, dude, that dude is so corrupt.
	Isn't he worth like 300 million dollars?
	I don't know exactly how much he's worth, but he is bad, dude.
	And it's you know, he's really talented at playing piano with his penis, though.
	So I'll give him that.
	I've never seen that.
	Oh gosh.
	Yeah, I mean, you can't literally see him naked, but he's behind he's on some TV show because he was he was an actor.
	He was a community.
	He's still he still is an actor, but um because he's acting like throughout this whole time.
	So and it's so funny because he's literally behind the piano on the TV show with some other dude playing piano with his penis.
	Wow.
	But um no black ease, though.
	Not big enough.
	But um on top of that, you know, uh like I remember I remember there's all these pictures going around, and people are like, oh my gosh, Zelensky's such a hero, he's with his troops.
	And those pictures were like old from some training exercise.
	Yeah, or he's doing photo shoots like with sandbags around, and it's like the lighting's perfect, and there's three different photographers.
	Exactly.
	How is it so perfect?
	The only time to take a picture during a war is in front of the Eiffel Tower after you've invaded a country.
	That's the only time.
	It's like I'm like, how has he had so much time to do all this stuff?
	All these interviews and stuff, like it doesn't make sense.
	Like, imagine if somebody was kicking your ass, right?
	Like in a fist fight, and you were like begging you know, your buddy next to you to take as many pictures as possible.
	Yeah.
	That's what he's doing.
	That's what he's doing, man.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	I think they're all in on it together, man.
	Plus, they were covering like crazy for the Bidens and their corruption uh in Ukraine.
	I mean, it's insane.
	Just the fact that America wanted to send the the money to them so bad and protect Ukraine, that should show you everything.
	And you know what's Funny when you see people with no American flag outside their house, but they have a Ukraine flag.
	It's just like so pathetic.
	Oh, that drives me fucking nuts.
	I've seen that.
	It is sick, man.
	I um I was going to um door knocking to um like uh what soul winning.
	And uh anyways, I went to this guy's house, and I'm like, hey, is there anything that uh we could pray for you about?
	And he's like, Yeah, Ukraine.
	And I was like, I said you're not crazy.
	I was about to start laughing, but I was just like, maybe not the time or the place.
	Someone else just do this for me because I'm tired of hearing about this crap.
	And don't get me wrong, I feel bad for the like the citizens there that had to like leave their homes and stuff.
	Don't get me wrong, like war is hell for everybody involved.
	Of course.
	But it's uh it's a globalist manufactured war, dude.
	It's not even like what people think it is either.
	It's not the the really bizarre thing about it, man, it's all the bio labs that we had there, and all the money.
	Oh, dude, it's not like all the money.
	Yeah, all the money Hunter was making off of metabiota, who was investing um uh in the labs there, and um Hunter was invested in metabiota, metabiota was invested in Ukraine, and uh Zolchevsky was uh invested in Metabiota.
	Um, and Zolchevsky was the chairman of the board of barisma.
	So the money was going through like four steps from DOD contract through metabiota and all the way back into Joe's pocket because he shared a bank account with Hunter.
	Wow, so it was literally just laundering DOD contracts through labs in Ukraine as cash.
	Like you see, you know, senators only make 174,000 a year.
	Like why how is how does how does the Biden family live like that?
	I mean, Hunter Biden spending $30,000 a month on rent, you know, and is in a mansion while Secret Service, you know, make some hot pockets and make sure he's okay.
	And he smokes crack.
	Yeah, and doesn't get in trouble.
	And he and he illegally had a fire, he purchased a fire firearm illegally by uh lying on the form and didn't get in trouble for that.
	He had an inappropriate sexual relationship with his 12-year-old niece and didn't get in trouble with that, and it's documented on text, and Jill and Joe knew about it, and they didn't do anything about it, which is illegal in Delaware to know that a child is being abused and not report it.
	And they're laundering tax money through these contracts, and they're running the same thing right now.
	Well, they're running the country right now, that's the best part.
	Yeah, it's like why the hell are there 500 uh uh January 6th protesters in prison without trial and these fucks are walking around, no problem.
	Yeah.
	Well, Trump didn't um pardon them because he wants to show everybody how evil um the system is.
	You know, they they waited until like January 26th to arrest most of them 24th, 26th, because they wanted to make sure that Trump couldn't pardon anybody.
	So they waited two weeks.
	I'm not surprised.
	Yeah, man.
	That's that's it's terrible.
	Um, yeah, I I I gotta get going, but uh sure, man.
	This is a good time hanging out.
	I love talking to you, dude.
	Absolutely, man.
	Anytime.
	All right, dude.
	Well, you take care.
	If you ever come down to Austin, let me know.
	Uh we'll get together, have a beer or something.
	Oh, definitely, man.
	I will let you know.
	All right, man, thanks, bro.
