But we got a special guest in the house, man.
Andrew, welcome and thank you for your submission.
Legal Mindset.
We've known you for a very long time.
You were here from the beginning.
It's good to be back after two years.
It's like I started in the Camry and I'm rolling up into the spaceship.
I was going to say real You guys have had a huge come-up.
Studio looks amazing.
Last time I was in the old studio when I came back, this is the first time I've been back in the U.S. in two years.
And of course, I've got to stop by and see my friends.
You guys literally, Myron and Walt, I knew you in the beginning.
I knew you wanted to come up.
And it's been awesome to see your success and celebrate that.
You've been here from the beginning.
Chris, too!
Thank you, Andrew.
This is my tallest white friend.
Yeah.
Literally.
Andrew has literally been here with us since the beginning.
As soon as he told me, oh yeah, I'm in town, I was like, bro, pull up.
What the fuck?
Let's do a show.
Yeah.
Right?
And that's why...
We went on the town one night.
Yeah, Myron used to do night game with me.
That's how I started.
I said, Myron used to go out, and I can testify personally.
When we were going out to Sugar, we were going out to Blackbird, and Myron was doing 100 opens a night, 75 opens a night.
Even when he was blackout drunk, he was opening and number closing.
And I'm like, this man is a god.
If anyone knows...
Drunk Fun Myron, it's me.
Way back in the day.
These two drunk niggas drunk together?
It's chaos.
I was like, what the fuck is going on here, bro?
Like, fat boys, man.
Yeah, let's go, man!
That's great.
Oh, man.
So, Andrew, what's new with you, man?
Obviously, I have a very successful channel going on right now.
Yeah, my channel's blown up.
I mean, since I've left, I mean, you guys, you know, after I left, I hit the Rittenhouse case.
I hit the Amber Heard case.
Now I'm covering some crazy stuff.
I was covering Disney.
Let's go over the channel real quick.
Disney was a big thing with their lawsuits, fighting the state of Florida, all that bullshit, all their lies, all their media propaganda, which you guys know all about the media propaganda.
100%.
Then I've covered VTubing, which is crazy because anime VTubing has taken over as Hollywood crashes.
And now, unfortunately, I'm having to cover the case of...
Reketa Law.
Reketa Law, who is kind of the founder of the LawTube genre on YouTube.
He kind of created that, but unfortunately now he's got some charges against him, so that's been something I had to cover, unfortunately, recently.
I don't enjoy it, but we cover things objectively, and that's what I always try to do on my channel, and that's why I like working with you, and I've collabed with you on FedIt as well, to give an objective coverage, try to focus on facts, focus on the law, which is what I try to do on my channel, Legal Mindset, We're almost at $150K on YouTube.
Go subscribe, guys, if you haven't already.
I've also got a Locals, right, which is 7,000 strong.
So shout out to you guys for supporting Locals.
Appreciate those.
And a rumble!
Legal Mindset on Rumble as well.
You guys can check out all of that.
Everybody got a Rumble too, man, because you never know, bro.
That's why I got it.
I got it during the pandemic when they gave me that first warning for talking about the Juicy Juice, the jab, right?
And they gave me that first warning, and that's when I got Rumble because I said, I got to start building this.
I got to start popping it off, and it's been great.
I still get that, you know, editors pick sometimes and pop up there.
Today we had a great audience, about 2,000 people on Rumble, 9,000 people listening on YouTube.
Let's go!
It's a great audience.
It's a great thing, but I'm glad to be here and come back and talk about becoming a lawyer.
It's a Money Monday, so I'm like, let's give the guy some value because some people might want to become a lawyer.
What would be your advice to anyone in here that wants to become a lawyer, go down this path?
Should they do it?
Should they not do it?
Should they look at a certain...
Discipline to get into.
I'll just turn it to you.
Number one, make sure you actually want to fucking do it.
Because being a lawyer is not like an episode of Suits.
It's not CSI. It's not Franklin and Bash.
It's definitely not Legally Blonde.
Right?
That's really bullshit.
Well, most lawyers now are women.
Most of the people graduating are women out of law school.
So, you know, they think it's going to be one thing, but the thing is, they are sorely disappointed because the actual practice of law, you know, for example, people will think it's court.
99.9% of lawyers do not go to court, even litigators.
They settle.
They do motion practice.
They're not in there doing trials all the time.
Some are, but it's a very small portion of lawyers.
I did corporate and real estate.
So we're saying only 1% are actually going into courtrooms and arguing?
Very rare, very small sliver.
You've got people doing research, you've got people doing writing, you've got people negotiating, you've got people doing property.
Me working with Fortune 500 companies, working with people who are trying to get stuff done.
And if I go to court, I've fucked up.
I've actually fucked up because I'm not representing my client correctly because the point is to keep them out of court.
So I'm worried, what if I need a lawyer unless they go to court but they've never actually been in court?
I would never get a lawyer that has not gone to court for the specific thing you want to go for.
So let's say you're on a criminal charge.
Let's say you're on a pot charge, right?
Which, I don't know, those even exist anymore?
You know, whatever.
But let's pretend you're there on a pot charge, right?
Feds, yeah.
And nobody has ever, and this guy, this lawyer, he's done dog bites.
I'm not hiring that guy.
I'm hiring the dog bite guy.
And we all have specialties.
No lawyer is a jack-of-all-trades.
But what I learned is to be humble enough to say, this guy's the expert.
I'm going to rely on this guy.
And we have lawyers on YouTube.
They've specialized.
I've got a good friend who I brought into the LawTube game in Korea.
He specializes in maritime law.
Bro, it's crazy.
So we got immigration law people.
We got this and that.
So you gotta focus on people who know it and pick those people.
So starting out, do you wanna do it?
How do you know that?
Go find an actual lawyer who is something you wanna be and look at what they're doing.
Sit through their office.
Say, hey, can I sit in?
Can I just watch you for a day, see what you do?
Because you may watch what a lawyer does and realize they're at their computer, they're on the phone, they're writing, they're doing research.
I don't wanna do this shit.
You know, I want to go out there and I want to be talking to people.
I want to be interacting.
I want to be negotiating.
There's probably better jobs for you.
If you want to be super extroverted, maybe you're better at doing marketing.
Maybe you're better at doing sales.
Maybe you're better at supporting lawyers.
Right?
Maybe you're better at, you like AI. Bro, AI is gonna change the field of lawyering.
It's gonna make it so they can do research and writing so much quicker.
Maybe that's what you wanna do.
Maybe you're the legal AI guy.
So check out and make sure you wanna do it.
And how you do that is you begin with the end in mind.
So whatever position you wanna get in, let's say you wanna do international arbitration, right?
You go find that guy, go find the good lawyer that does that position and look at him and see how he became successful.
Andrew, let's say I've picked the niche I want to go into as a lawyer.
How long is schooling, roughly?
Niche is very important.
So assuming your niche is a regular niche and it's not something like tax or something weird you need an extra certificate in, it's about seven years.
Seven years?
That's a minimum.
That's a minimum.
My dumb ass was in here for nine years.
This is undergrad and law school combined, right?
Combined.
In the United States, we're talking about Americans now.
For those out there that are international, hola, como estas?
We've got a lot of countries which allow you to do law school after four years because it's essentially an undergrad degree.
That's a lot of other countries that are not America, but we're talking about America here, damn it.
Due process, the Constitution, we fucking love it.
So, in America, it is four years of undergrad and three years of law school.
Does it matter what you do in undergrad?
No, it doesn't.
It doesn't fucking matter.
It doesn't fucking matter.
It never does.
All that matters is the LSAT. That's what matters to get into school.
Now, are there certain majors that challenge you, that push you so you do better?
Stuff like math, you know, STEM stuff.
Yeah, you'll do great.
You'll do great as a lawyer.
Also, if you do STEM, You'll have the ability to sign up for the patent bar.
So the patent bar is people who do patents.
And you can't do that unless you're in a hard science or some sort of science.
So that's a good suggestion if you're interested in patents and stuff like that.
So you might want to consider that.
But other than that, the biggest thing is study for that LSAT, which is my second piece of information.
Take that fucking LSAT as many times as you need to get a good score to get in the school that you've chosen.
So I took it twice.
Once I was drunk and just YOLO-ing it.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm like, I got this shit!
Lawyering ain't no big deal!
And I took it and I did dog shit.
Then I went and studied and I did fantastic.
It's mostly logical reasoning, right?
If I'm not mistaken?
Yeah, it's logical reasoning, logic games, but a lot of it is it's learnable.
So you can take time to study it and you can learn it.
You can actually learn it.
And you'll do noticeably better if you study.
So you take that and get a better score and you look at the school.
Now as for the school, what do you got to look at?
Alumni network.
And the people.
So once again, begin with the end in mind.
So you're looking at that person you want to be.
You're like, this is my senpai.
This is the guy I want to be.
This is the person I'm trying to be.
What school did he go to?
Because guess what?
When you come up, what's the easiest thing to say?
Oh, I'm an alumni of this school.
I went there too.
That's the easiest and easiest way to start a conversation.
And also those people will want to be loyal to this school.
They'll say, hey, I want to be loyal to that school.
So for law school, it does matter.
If you're out here going to University of North Dakota and you're trying to roll into Miami, Nobody's gonna like that, right?
I went to the University of Florida.
I'm a Gator.
So, you know, Florida is...
Yeah, there you go.
I got the chop, right?
You know?
I see you over there, Mo.
But I'm good at Florida, right?
But if I go out to New York, they're gonna be like, uh, you know, maybe not.
LA? Uh, maybe not.
Right?
Of course, why the fuck would I go to New York and LA? All those people are coming here to Miami, you know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
By the way, there's a lot of those guys here now.
It's really changed over the last two or three years.
It's gotten crazy, bro.
It was good when we were here at the beginning, you know?
I remember that.
It was good.
We were here at the forefront of Miami before it was crazy.
My old apartment in Brickell went up 75% when I was there.
What are they charging now?
I was at 2.2.
It's like 3.8.
Wow!
Yeah.
So it is crazy.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
You know, and I was like telling them, I live in Bangkok now.
I spent a lot of time in Korea, in Japan, in Philippines.
But I mean, I was like, I've got two apartments for less than half.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like, that's no problem, bro.
Smart guy.
Yeah, it's no problem.
Yeah.
Were you trying to say something?
Yeah.
So real quick, Andrew.
So, okay, listen.
I picked my niche or I picked my field for a lawyer.
I realized it's seven years now I got to wait, basically, for this to finish.
How do I get a job?
At the seven-year mark.
Okay, so at a job, here's the thing.
Well, that comes back to the LSAT and getting into the law school first, right?
And also making the connections while you're in law school and even before law school.
Because if you're able to make connections, let's face it, guys, connections are what's up.
That's why you guys have a community.
You guys have a community because making those connections is power, right?
Making those connections is important.
If you can say, hey, I know Myron.
You know, I know this lawyer.
And you make that introduction.
That's important, right?
You're able to actually get in on the ground floor.
So if you're able to make those connections during law school, do that.
Internships.
And that's why the law school you go to, and I want you to correct me if I'm wrong here.
I've been told where you go to law school matters than how you do in law school.
That's 100% true.
Okay.
100%.
Yeah.
Because at the end of the day, there's a reason why, because people say, oh, I went to Harvard, I went to Yale, I went to Princeton, I went to these Ivy League, Cornell, right?
What, seven Ivy League schools, UPenn, et cetera.
It's not that the schools are necessarily better.
It's that they have a huge network of people that will get you a job.
That's why the Ivy League schools are so coveted.
It's not that you're actually, well, yes, they're hard to get into, but they're hard to get into because once you get in and you get a degree from one of these places- You're guaranteed a job.
Exactly.
And if you're able to get a job in that area, especially, so let's say I want to come to Miami.
Well, you better be working in Miami your first summer, your second summer, and making those connections, especially the type of job you want to do.
Now, look, you might be able to eliminate what you don't want to do in the first year.
I went in and I did a little civil and criminal work my first summer, and I was like, fuck this.
I went in that Miami-Dade courthouse, and I did some Chinese drywall cases, and I'm like, This is ass.
I'm like, I want to be doing negotiations.
I want to be doing deals.
I want to be making things happen.
So I came in and I ended up with one of the best firms in Orlando for commercial real estate development.
I represent Universal.
They're going to open a new theme park, Epic Universe.
That was all me, baby.
That was my work.
I couldn't talk about it for a while.
NDA's disclosure.
I'm no longer under any of that, baby.
I'm free!
You can talk about it.
No attorney-client privilege.
So all the epic universe they're putting in, yeah, that was your boy.
I also represented a celebration, reunion, everything else.
I did negotiation with Bonnet Creek.
I know all about Reedy Creek and the Disney stuff, which is why I covered that on YouTube.
So it was a really good opportunity.
Knowing that's what I wanted to do, I found out that through law school.
And there was a little bit of process of elimination.
But it was the happiest thing for me, the best thing for me.
And I still, to this day, have good connections because I'm doing what I love and I'm doing what is a natural fit for me.
That's smart.
So even before you finished law school, he made connections or networking, basically, in his actual school.
So let me ask you this, Andrew.
Sure.
If your LSATs aren't up to par to get into the school that you want to get into, should people even bother going to law school?
No.
And that's what the woke mom's not going to tell you.
That's what your mom is not going to tell you.
This is the raw fact for me.
It's like being a brokie, right?
As you guys say, right?
It's like, if you're an LSAT brokie...
Don't fucking go to law school, okay?
If you have a trash score, don't be like, oh, it's all right enough for this shit law school.
No.
It's all right?
No.
No, it's not.
You're going to end up in a shit ton of debt, $200,000 in debt in the hole.
And then you're trying to work- After seven years.
And then you're trying to work out of that.
Sorry, that's just law school.
Because law school, the average is $100,000, $200,000.
Not including undergrad.
Pretending your undergrad is paid, right?
Maybe you're a nice D1 athlete like you over here, you know?
Whatever, right?
Even if you're just looking at that, the numbers don't work out.
And remember, here's the other thing, too.
This is very important.
Don't trust the fucking numbers of law schools telling you on how much people make.
They lie on that shit.
They manipulate the statistics.
And also, a lot of the law schools will pay Pay people when they graduate temporarily so they pad their salary numbers.
So they'll put them on what's called a research internship for nine months so that when they do a study of how much their alumni are making right after they graduate, they can pad their numbers on that, then they let them go.
Oh shit!
They're gaming this shit bad.
So do not pay attention when they say average salary is $90,000.
It's probably something like 60.
It's probably something like 40.
You know what's interesting?
Someone told me this years ago, and I was like, no fucking way.
And you're only the second person to tell me this raw truth.
They basically said, if you don't get into a top 20 law school, don't even bother me.
I would say top 50 because some of them can be regional.
Yeah, top 50 is fine.
Because the thing is, for example, if you went to Yale, right?
I mean, unless you're going to be a professor, that's not as relevant as if you went to a really good regional school.
So if you went to University of Alabama and you're trying to work in Alabama or work in oil, for example, That's fine.
You're targeting what you want to do.
Look at where they went.
For example, I went to University of Florida, which has moved up the rank a lot, but I wanted to work in Florida.
I knew I didn't want to go to California.
You did your undergrad and your law school there, right?
No, I did my undergrad at FIU. I did my master's at UNC Chapel Hill, and I did my...
Oh, shit!
Law school there.
Yeah, I was really super educated.
Okay.
I was ultra-educated.
Excuse me.
Okay, now that makes sense why you went for nine.
That's why I went for nine.
Okay, because you did your two and got your master's.
Yeah, and I was going to do something different, actually.
I wasn't going to be a lawyer.
And I resisted it for a long time, by the way, until my girlfriend at the time talked me into being a lawyer.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, talked me into a lawyer.
Let me guess.
She liked to argue.
A little bit, but it worked out in the bedroom.
It was all right.
Okay, so top 50.
And I think that's really important for the audience to know because there's so many people that want to become a lawyer.
They're LSAT sucks.
They get into some shitty-ass school, right?
Bay Path or something.
And let's be clear, Myron.
Like, you know, if you want to make money, you can make money without even going to college, right?
If you're not ready to prepare to think about that end and think about your end game and what you're going to be making, and look at their salary.
Because you know what?
You may look at it and be like, I don't want to be a public defender making fucking 40k a year.
I can do that flipping burgers at McDonald's without a law degree.
Yeah.
Right?
Come on.
Yeah.
Why do people, I always wonder, why do people take on being a public defender?
Is it for the litigation experience?
The loan forgiveness.
If you work like a slave, if you're in the coal mines for long enough, they forgive your debt.
10 years?
10 years.
Oh, on the public service loan forgiveness.
Yes, you know about that.
PSLF. You know, government stuff, right?
So you're serving your master at the government for 10 years, right?
Longer than the military, right?
And you get your stuff forgiven.
Honestly, fuck that.
Why be in the hole for that long?
You've now sacrificed 10 years plus seven, right?
17 years of your life.
If you were just making money...
You do get some good experience though, right?
Yes.
Would you be able to probably get in a firm with all that...
As a public defender?
Yeah, with all that experience...
Maybe, maybe not.
No, maybe, maybe not.
A lot of folks I know, I'm going to go back up to Orlando and hang out with my friends.
They're still working, making less than 60, 70.
Damn.
And it's years later.
So more...
Yeah.
I mean, that's LOL money.
Like, my super chat's on a Tuesday.
It's not a joke.
It's sad.
It's really sad.
And honestly, they're grinding.
They're doing 80-hour days.
This is why I say make sure you actually want to do it.
Look at the hours.
Look at the pay.
It's not the sexy thing always that you think it is.
A lot of lawyers are making less.
Than a mechanic, than an electrician, than a developer, than a cyber security person.
So make sure you actually want to do it.
Look at the money.
Public defenders are the worst.
And here's the thing.
Here's the other thing too, guys.
I'm going to be real with you.
A lot of people want to flex because they're lawyers.
They want to pretend, oh, we're high and mighty because of money.
So you've got to live a lifestyle.
You've got to have these suits.
These suits ain't cheap, baby.
Nice car.
These suits ain't cheap.
You've got to have a nice car.
If you don't drive a nice car, your clients are going to be like, what is this guy?
I don't trust him.
He doesn't have a nice car.
If you don't look nice, if you're not living the lifestyle, if they don't see you out, out at all the right places, your lifestyle is high.
I'm a minimalist.
I hate having to do that sort of stuff.
But it's part of the expectation if you work in a law firm in America.
I talk more people out of it than into it, but if you're gonna do it, do it right.
Don't fuck around.
No, I think this is important for the audience because people sit there and say, no, go to law school, become a lawyer, etc.
But yeah, so now we know some parameters.
If you don't get it, number one, if your LSATs aren't good enough to get into a top 50 school, you might want to rethink becoming a lawyer.
And also, you should study under an actual lawyer or look at them what they do to see, do you really want to do this?
Yes.
Almost like an apprenticeship.
If you can get like, well, like back in the day, we used to do apprenticeships.
Like men used to go and fucking apprentice for people.
And in some states allow a legal apprenticeship.
Kim Kardashian famously is doing one in California.
Yeah, well, yeah.
You know, whore law 101.
But anyways, point of the matter is- Oh, she's being an apprentice to be a lawyer.
Yes.
You didn't know that?
I didn't know that.
I didn't know that she wanted to be a lawyer for a very long time.
She's doing it.
She's always been defending people, especially that have been wrongfully jailed.
Where'd she go to law school?
She's not.
She's apprenticing and she's just taking the test.
In California, there's a different system in California, right?
She could become a lawyer without going to law school?
In California, it's California.
Can you imagine Kim Kardashian as your lawyer?
Bro, I'd be tight!
Yeah.
Hey, you're facing murder.
Okay.
I'm a public defender.
Kim Kardashian is your public defender.
Bruh, it's over.
It's a rock man.
Yeah, that's it.
I'm done.
You're done.
She gonna say, he hit it first.
Yeah.
Yeah, man.
Bruh.
Oh God.
You going to jail, man.
Sorry, 304 law.
Damn, bro.
Specialty in 304 law.
Oh, man.
Look, listen.
Know where you're going.
Have an effective apprenticeship.
Approach somebody and say, hey, can you mentor me?
And you know what's funny?
A lot of people want to be a mentor.
And especially being abroad, I've learned this talking to older people, older expats.
I live in Asia, right?
And they want to talk.
They want to share their knowledge, right?
Yeah.
And I think a lot of days we just want to hide inside on our keyboards and go, I'm going to research this on Reddit.
Yeah.
Yeah, Reddit.
That's not how you actually make connections with people, right?
How you make connections is in the real, going out and doing stuff, connecting with people, getting out, going and connecting with people.
You know, you guys have events, community events.
Once again, those are big things.
Do that with lawyers, right?
Go meet lawyers.
Go out to bar events, the bar association, which sometimes is also at a bar, right?
And, you know, have a drink with them, talk with them, see if they're happy, right?
A lot of lawyers I talk to are not fucking happy, which leads to a lot of substance.
I've met a lot of lawyers here in Miami and Florida.
This is behind the scenes stuff.
And when you say 60K, it made me think a lot because they deal with a lot of stress at their jobs.
They work long hours.
They're not making shit.
You know what they do when they go out?
What?
They do coke.
They do drugs.
They party crazy.
The lawyers.
And I'm like, hold on, you're a lawyer?
I'm like, hold on, they're stressed out.
What's your name though?
Because of the pay.
Chris, I won't say their names.
No, no, no.
Most of them are girls, by the way.
They're girls, by the way.
And the female attorneys have it bad.
I'll say this because I feel bad for them because they were lied to.
They were sold this legally blonde lie that they can just go in.
It's going to be amazing.
They're going to be treated with respect.
And they think, like you guys know, you guys meet a lot of professional women, and you have them on the podcast, talk to people, and they have this experience, oh, I got the job.
Well, that's it, it's ticking in.
They're stressed out, they're just really worked up.
It sucks.
It's not the sexy thing they thought it was gonna be.
It's not this dream life, and they're just stuck in that job they didn't want to work in, which is why I'm telling you, especially as a man, if you're a man, you need to make sure that's what you want to do, right?
And make sure the firm you're going to is a firm you want to go to.
If it's one that's out here, you know, waving, you know, you're going to be required to go to Biden rallies and everything else, you know, make sure.
Because a lot of firms are very political.
I'm being serious.
There's no hat-jacks with them.
In the government, there's a Hatch Act, so you don't have to worry about that bullshit.
Private?
No way, man.
They check your politics at the door.
I had somebody at a different firm that would always tell me about how they were the only secret conservative at their law firm, and they had to sit there and watch and hear all this, like, oh, Trump's horrible, whatever.
Secretly, the guy's got six MAGA T-shirts, all the hats and stuff like that, hoping they don't see him at the rally.
It's crazy, but you got to know.
You got to know that's what you're in for.
Let me ask you this.
What would you say are the top five professions that are either A, lucrative, or B, might not be as lucrative, but will open doors for them to allow them to create opportunities for themselves in the future?
Yeah, I mean, the thing with attorneys is what's going to be big for attorneys in the future, and I think the big thing for guys, this is a big W for them in the future, is being able to make your own business, right, kind of independent contractor as a lawyer, and being able to do it outside the firm model.
The typical law firm is like a pyramid.
Senior partners at the top, middle partners, middle management in the middle, and then your associates, those are your slaves, right?
And then below the slaves, you have lower slaves, which are your paralegals and your secretaries, right?
So that's the model.
All those people cost a bunch of money.
AI can replace a lot of that.
Now, you're going to need something to filter it, make it better, you know, do the research.
But if you're able to do that, that's great.
Because the people at the top...
But what niches in law would you say...
Sorry, I'm going to rephrase the question.
Yeah, obviously, you know, being a public defender sucks.
Sucks.
Might not be the way to go.
Regulation, any sort of regulation or compliance, because let's face it, guys, you know it, governments are making more and more and more and more rules as time goes on and on and on.
If you know how to deal with that daftly, also taxes.
Okay.
That's becoming a global thing.
Tax attorney, compliance and regulation attorney.
IP. IP, intellectual property.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Any sort of patents, stuff like that, it's going to be big, right?
That's always going to stay big.
What about being an AUSA? What are your thoughts on that?
I know it's a very hard job to get, being a federal prosecutor.
AUSA, if you're being in the U.S., if you want to do that, there's a place for that, but obviously understand your income's going to be capped, right?
You're keeping yourself really down.
So unless you're making good investments, I mean, you're a government employee.
Can you...
So let me ask you this.
As a government employee, can you save money?
Absolutely.
Yeah, but you've got to be smart with your money.
Yeah, you can't be an idiot.
You can't be an idiot, right?
And as AUSA, you're going to make six figures, 100%.
You'll make six figures, but you've got to be smart with it.
You've got to invest quietly.
Can you make money?
Yes.
But does it open doors?
I've been told that an AUSA opens up a lot of doors for you because it's a very prestigious position in the law world, but I don't know.
It is?
Okay.
It can do that.
It is something that is there, but is it the most lucrative in terms of money?
No, no.
No, because you're not making your own firm.
Hell no.
You're not making your own firm.
So that's really good.
But frankly, anybody who's running their own firm and who's able to make things more efficient, to make it run more efficient, right?
So I think it's a big thing.
IP, compliance, regulatory, right?
What about real estate?
Real estate, it's market dependent.
Market dependent.
Now, I do real estate.
I still do real estate stuff and corporate compliance, but real estate depends on the market.
Real estate in Miami and Florida is great because Florida's developing, Florida's booming.
But if you're real estate in New York, you're taking a huge L. California.
California, right?
RIP, right?
But maybe if you're in Texas, it might be all right.
It depends on the market.
And it can be up sometimes, down sometimes, right?
I'll tell you, a bankruptcy is going to be big.
A bankruptcy lawyer, okay.
Anytime the economy is bad, Bankruptcy lawyers are smiling, I'll tell you that right now.
The worst the economy gets, it's better for bankruptcy.
Family law.
Okay.
Shit's not getting unfucked anytime soon.
Yep.
Y'all are laughing here, but it's true, right?
That's true.
We can talk about it all we want, but, you know, in the West, are you kidding me?
You know, that's going to be...
We had on Stephen Maeda.
He spoke about issues with parenting and...
Of course, he said it was get a lawyer.
And he said, like, basically...
Get a lawyer.
If you have a kid with somebody in America especially, you're under a lot of pressure because support...
Co-parenting, that's a whole debacle, and it's mind-fucking because it's a lot of stress on you as a man.
Having to work and support that system is crazy.
Damn, it's nuts.
Alright, I guess we can transition over to the Raquetta Law stuff, right?
Let's do it.
Yeah, let's talk about this.
Real quick.
Did he do it?
Who?
Or did he not?
Who?
Diddy.
Who?
Diddy.
Oh, Diddy is fucked.
As a lawyer, what do you think about what's happening with Diddy?
All the lawsuits, all the friggin' pile-on?
I mean, to be fair, I track a lot of lawsuits, guys.
So I cover a lot of lawsuits.
I get sent in my inbox.
I do a legal channel, right?
So I get a ton of lawsuits.
So you can only cover so much at one time.
And I like to go in-depth.
But everything I've seen of Diddy, he's in a lot of trouble.
Yeah.
He's in a hell of a lot of trouble.
I mean, the video in the hallway, that's dead to right.
There's no self-defense on that.
I think that's why he settled in a day.
He's that one done.
I genuinely believe, because remember, she's hit him with like 30 million, and then he was like, I'm going to fight this, and then a day later he settles, and I was like, she must have showed him that video.
Yeah, the video, it's done.
There's nothing, I mean, you're done on that one.
But to be real, is he going to jail?
Probably not, right?
Probably not jail.
I think he will.
Why?
The feds did a search warrant in his house.
But he's still freaking out.
Yeah, they're building a case.
I predict he'll be indicted before the end of this year.
Yeah, when we see the indictment, I'm the point where I usually want to see the complaint, see the indictment.
Yeah, of course, of course.
So when the indictment comes out, I'll give that.
I'd like to read the search warrant, but we won't get to see that.
I'd like to read that.
The search warrant is important.
We'll talk about that with Reketa, but the search warrant is very important.
Yes, yes.
But the fact that they were able to get a federal search warrant, man, that tells me that there's a criminal case already open.
Yeah.
And then...
Alright, so...
Cool.
What was that?
Chris?
So, two girls are fighting.
Fighting?
Arguing.
They are arguing.
Over what?
There's two of them.
I told you, but the longer you wait...
I guess they want to be lawyers.
Yeah, they want to be lawyers.
Listen, that took to heart.
Family law already at play.
Let's go to the Raketa law thing real quick.
Oh, locals.
Guys, locals.
Alright, there it is.
CastleClub.tv.
You guys want to see the...
Whatever.
Wait, what's the black or white girl?
White.
Too white?
She's from Europe.
Oh, from Europe.
There you go.
Alright, sorry, go ahead.
It must have been Russia or Ukraine or something.
Alright, so let's go ahead with this Rakata Law thing.
So, fill us in, bro.
What's going on here?
I've seen this YouTube channel before.
Real quick.
So, he was competing with us.
Well, actually, he pasted us for number one super chatter on YouTube, and then we came back and beat him.
I've been number one a day or two.
I take the title for like one or two days.
But, yeah, no, he's up there.
He's really got famous during the Rittenhouse days, during Amber Heard.
But long story short, he, of all the people on the internet doing law, had the ability to transition into a mainstream thing.
He could have become a mainstream media host.
He could have become somebody popular.
But he decided to start drinking.
He decided to start, I mean, it looks like, we know drinking, for sure.
And this all culminated, this kind of downward slide, culminated in a search warrant being executed a few days ago.
For his house based on a mandatory reporter.
Do you know what a mandatory reporter is, Myron?
No, what is that?
There's certain people...
See, privilege is not what you think it is.
Everyone thinks, oh, I go talk to my priest, I go talk to my therapist, and they're going to keep it secret.
That's not true.
The only real privilege is attorney-client privilege.
Even that's under attack.
See, the Trump took aces for details, right?
Yeah.
Attorneys have the only real privilege.
Everybody else is not real privilege.
They don't have to keep it secret.
So somebody told the preacher something, and the preacher went as a mandatory reporter under law.
They were required to turn it into law enforcement.
They went there.
They told them.
They went to law enforcement.
They executed a search warrant for his house.
They went inside.
He refused to open the door.
They knocked down the door where the door ram.
They found inside 26 grams of cocaine that field tested, of course.
Now, that's with Packaging, of course, there can be debate with or without packaging.
If it's cut or not cut, different states do that differently.
Damn.
You know, if it's fucking 50% baking soda, is it 26 grams or is it 13, right?
That's a legal question, right?
Yeah.
That aside, they found cutters, they found dollar bills with cocaine on them, they found snort tubes, they found ketamine, eight pills of ketamine.
What the fuck, is it 1985?
What the fuck?
You had ketamine?
It's a workshop in here.
What the fuck?
And a brown substance, which I'm hoping is not heroin.
The guy went to jail with him, his wife, and another woman who was living him as the quote-unquote nanny, but is rumored, and this is a speculation, and I'm cavigating speculation, to be his mistress in a throuple sort of situation there.
Oh, shit.
So they all are in a pain.
Yeah, it's crazy facts.
So they all went to jail.
The third woman got out.
The wife and him got out on bail.
They dropped the charges against the other woman.
But now he's out.
He's yet to get back on YouTube.
He had a Rumble contract, just like you guys, because he made that contract a while ago.
So he was with Rumble as well.
So really crazy facts.
But why would he need to?
He was always pretty clean.
Well, he wanted to do more on locals and also not have to worry as much about like writing the super chats and everything else and having a contract.
I'm telling you right now.
Bro, YouTube is just like, yeah, man.
As a creator though, it's better if you have people that actually support you on your own stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
100%.
They could demonetize you for anything, bro.
That's the crazy part, but yeah, sorry.
And he would get kind of crazy on Rumble, so it was good.
For him, it worked out.
He likes to be a little bit more extreme, which is fine.
That's people's style.
And that said, really sad, because he was my good friend at one point, but at this point, especially seeing him, you could watch his streams, and you could see him, he was drinking more and more and more and more.
It was kind of a slide, and then seeing the drugs thing, he's got five kids.
He's got five kids, so one of the charges against him is neglect of a child because in Minnesota, if you use drugs around a child, you have a presumption of child negligence.
Oh, shit.
And also, he had a gun, so he caught a gun charge in Minnesota because if you're using drugs in the presence of a gun...
You're automatically...
You're a prohibited person.
Totally.
It's fucked because I don't...
Now, I'm a Second Amendment man.
I'm a Second Amendment man.
So I believe that the gun charges for just merely using drugs in the presence of a gun, I believe those are unconstitutional, right?
And there is a case challenging that coming up to the Supreme Court right now.
Because if you're going to take away someone's guns, it's because they did something dumb with the guns, right?
Yeah.
It shouldn't be because they were just doing drugs and happened to have guns.
Well, they didn't do anything wrong with the guns.
So, that's a right.
That's a constitutional right.
So, why are you taking away the guns?
So, anyway.
You know under what grounds, though?
I know you're a former law enforcement of taking away guns over here.
From the Fed perspective, the fucking glowing over here.
It's glowing on this side of the table.
Yeah, the Fed perspective is there's nine angles that will make you a prohibited person from having a firearm under the Second Amendment.
And one of them is drug use or being a drug user.
Being a convicted felon, being dishonorably discharged, being a drug user, being mentally unstable, renouncing your citizenship.
That's five.
There's four others.
I can't remember all of them.
But what's the irony of this, though?
I mean, he does law.
Content on YouTube.
And now he's being covered.
He's like, the coveree has become the covered.
Yeah.
Right?
Like, he was the thing that really started this type of coverage, and now it's part of him.
And if it had been, you know, he's covered these type of cases for other people, so it's very interesting turning around and having to cover it for him.
It's something I don't like to do because there's kids involved.
It's always sad when there's kids involved.
Yeah.
Right?
It's different if you want to go out there and fuck up your life if you're, you know, single, but if you've got kids...
You know what worries me, though, bro?
Like, they can...
And I've seen them do this before.
They can hit you with a federal charge, possession of a firearm while committing a drug trafficking offense.
If they really want to be dicks, they can do that.
Or they can hit them with the...
It's not found in possession, but it's a prohibited person, prohibited acts, which is one of them is a drug user with a gun, 18 U.S.C., 9...
922.
Look it up Google real quick.
18 U.S.C. 922.
Let's see if I remember.
But here's the thing.
We don't actually have...
Here's the crazy thing, Myron, because you're talking about federal government.
We don't have...
Let's turn into Fed Reacts.
We don't have...
Yeah, seriously.
Another episode of Fed Reacts.
Now with more Walt.
18 U.S.C. 922.
But this time we don't have a search warrant.
So we only have a statement of probable cause, but we don't have a search warrant.
So we actually don't know the basis for it.
We don't know the basis, dude.
All we know is an inventory reporter.
So we don't know the facts.
Because here's the big difference for the search warrant under the Fourth Amendment.
They didn't get a search warrant.
They have a search warrant, but we don't know the basis for the search warrant.
So here's the point.
We don't have the affidavit.
Here's the point.
If the search warrant was because somebody went to the preacher and said, they're smoking dope or they're doing lines, right?
That's probably not enough under the First Amendment for a search warrant.
It might be for a health check, but not a search warrant.
But if it was because they went to the preacher and said, they're doing it in front of kids and here's evidence and here's other stuff, then that might be sufficient.
So we don't know.
We have no clue.
So the search warrant is what we're waiting on in the Nick Ricada case, which is going to be a huge thing because the constitutional arguments, as you know, federal government, state government, this is a state case, right?
But if you violate the U.S. Constitution, that's it.
So Nick Ricada's best defense is to go for a constitutional defense, say it's an unlawful search, then you can bury it, then the cocaine goes out, the guns go out, the whole thing goes out.
He can recover from it.
If he gets that.
But, of course, it's for a person who was like us in kind of the more conservative sphere, right?
It's a bad look as a family man.
Obviously, there's going to be PR damage no matter what.
That's done, right?
But he could get out of the criminal charges.
It's possible.
I just want to talk about the pressure of being a content creator.
It's a lot.
I'm not going to lie.
A lawyer amidst content, I can only imagine the pressure you have as a creator and a family man having five kids is crazy.
Guys, I'm telling you right now...
I'm not using his behavior, by the way, but I'm just saying that's a lot of pressure.
But, Walt, I mean, this is just for my channel.
I'll tell you what I do.
I do one stream a day almost, and I'll take breaks every once in a while for my sanity.
But, I mean, like today, I did three hours of research for my show.
I streamed for four hours, right?
Shit.
Damn.
Damn.
And then I'm going to do some research even tonight when I come home.
I'm going to do some research for tomorrow.
What I should do tomorrow.
So I'm working.
I mean, people think being a content creator is easy, that we sit around all day and, like, fuck around.
Like, I'm doing research.
I'm paying attention all day.
My finger's on the fucking pulse of what's going on, and I'm doing real research every single day.
I can work 10 hours, 12 hours a day.
Now, I like it better my way because I can take breaks.
I can pause it out.
I can go do other stuff.
But that said, it's not that easy, guys.
It's not that easy, which is why you need support, which is why I know these guys have a good community, why you guys are putting together Castle Club, because it's not easy.
You need people to support you.
I will say this, man, that has me a little worried with this whole thing, because I'm thinking in my head, because you mentioned that there was a search warrant.
Bro, for them to get a search warrant for a house, that tells me that they had actionable info that they went in the house and saw the drugs there.
Wasn't it somebody that was with him that snitched on him?
So that's what we don't know.
So the mandatory reporter was the preacher, right?
But we don't know who told the preacher.
Yeah.
So if it was somebody who knew it was there, that could be a thing.
But we don't know.
There's rumors that it was a guy who doesn't like him because the woman who was in the house, the plot thickens.
The woman who was in the house was married.
And it was alleged that there was a guy who was in there who was friends with Nick who was, the allegations they were swinging and there's all sorts of sexual deviancy going on.
Okay.
So the guy, you know, the allegations, the guy got cucked and was mad.
Because his wife is now divorcing him because she said that, on air, she said that he had never given her an orgasm in her life.
Oh shit, here we go.
Bro!
Bro!
This is real!
This is real!
When a chick says, his dick is small, never got orgasm, you still fucked him.
You still hit, though.
So you just hang out for it, man.
Come on, bro.
Objectively speaking, I don't know him.
I wish him the best.
I don't wish anything bad on a fellow YouTuber.
But what I will say is the fact that they were able to get a search warrant as quickly as they did tells me that they got actionable info and had information that there was drugs in the house at that time.
And for them to know that, that means someone had to have been inside the house.
Because that's the thing.
That's what it tells me.
Otherwise, it would have been a Karen with a clipboard.
It would have been a Karen with a clipboard coming by...
You know, and just checking.
Because it wouldn't have been a door ram, a fucking door ram.
Me and you both know, to search a home is the highest threshold of the Fourth Amendment.
It's at the pinnacle of the, you know, to search someone's, like, phone or whatever.
Like, that's one thing, right?
But to search, or email, but to search someone's house is at the top of the fucking totem pole, because that's the, you know, that's the, you know.
Most private area.
It's the most private area.
So you need a lot of probable cause to search someone's house.
So that tells me, They had info that there were drugs on that day, at that time, and someone had to have been in the home and did it.
And yeah, now that we know that there's people that had to ask to grind, there you go.
And here's another one which is difficult for content creators, Fresh, and you guys know about this too.
It could have been as easy as that dumb host sending him a picture like, look at what we're doing with a line of coke in the back.
He could have sent that to the police.
Look, this picture was taken on this day.
You can see the drugs in the back.
One of the biggest indicators or one of the biggest telltale times of a person that does drugs getting exposed is what normally, typically...
What?
His girl or sypes getting mad at him and saying, hey, he's doing this on the side.
Now, here's the other thing, and this is for us content creators, right?
His streams could have also been evidence, supplementary evidence.
Yes.
And there were streams where it looked like he was doing coke.
Certainly, he was definitely drunk in many of his streams.
Yes, sloppy.
He was doing really bad stuff, looked like he was jerking off in one of them.
It was really, really bad.
What the fuck?
Like DSP, you know, Darkside Phil, you ever see that?
You know?
That'd get a little sloppy on camera, bro.
Yeah, I mean, it's out there.
Yeah, I was kind of like, ugh.
Don't get that drunk on stream.
It's not good.
But it looked like he had some powder on his nose at one point.
That could have been admitted as evidence.
So the thing is, as a content creator, you've got to understand this.
It's all admissible, right?
So if there's a case, your streams are admissible.
This is not private information.
They're going to look at your stream, they're going to pull it, and they're going to use it against you.
And maybe it's not the primary evidence.
I don't think that's the only evidence.
It could have been supplementary evidence.
100%.
They put it in an affidavit.
For sure.
For sure.
This guy's a drug user, blah, blah, blah.
Look at him here.
Look at him here.
All right.
All right, cool.
So, guys, this is what we're going to do.
We're going to read the chats.
Three.
Only three.
It's only three?
Okay.
That's towards Andrew, and then the rest we'll read towards Andrews.
