	We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
	Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
	We think too much and feel too little.
	More than machinery, we need humanity.
	We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, as if that's the way it's supposed to be.
	We know things are bad, worse than bad.
	They're crazy. Silence!
	The great and powerful Oz knows why you have come.
	You've got to say, I'm a human being!
	God damn it! My life has value!
	You have meddled with the primal forces of nature!
	Don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think, or what to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder!
	Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men.
	Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts.
	Yeah, thank you.
	You're beautiful.
	I love you.
	Yes.
	You're beautiful.
	Thank you.
	It's showtime.
	And now, Reality Rant with Jason Vermis.
	And who loves you?
	And who do you love?
	We are live!
	It is Mixed Martial Mindset on this Thursday evening.
	I am joined by my co-host as always, John Fitch.
	And Fitch... What's going on?
	It looks like we might be starting World War III via a cyber attack.
	Isn't that great? Isn't that lovely?
	So look, I'm not trying to be hyperbolic.
	I figure we're going to get this story out of the way.
	I'm not even going to focus on it too much, other than the fact that everybody should be worried about this, and it is completely and totally nightmarish.
	I want you to just take a step back and put yourself in the shoes of a Russian citizen on the eastern seaboard that turned on their television...
	And it told them to rush to nuclear bomb shelters on television.
	We're going to show you the clip right here.
	All across. Now, as we watch this, obviously, I'll talk over the Russians.
	They're telling them, take potassium iodine pills.
	They're saying the entire eastern seaboard of the country could be under attack.
	And now they're attributing this...
	Okay, to some type of a cyber attack.
	I don't know if that's the case.
	Call me skeptical.
	Maybe it's the same mystery people who were pro-Ukraine who got the gas pipeline.
	Oh, yeah, that pro-Ukrainian group?
	The underground? Yeah, that pro-Ukrainian group.
	Hmm, I wonder who they could be.
	You need to show that meme with like pro-Ukrainian group mask and behind the mask is like CIA. I had a good one and I didn't end up using it on the air of that and it was basically US Navy SEALs coming out of the water and says we no longer identify as US Navy SEALs, we identify as a pro-Ukrainian group.
	Exactly. This is dangerous.
	I'm sitting here joking about it, but I gotta tell you, I felt really sick to my stomach when I saw that story.
	Yeah, and you know, it could be just some stupid high school kid doing a 4chan joke.
	I don't know, man.
	To get a whole... I mean, that was across the entire eastern seaboard of the country, that message went up.
	First of all, I want to know...
	Was that an official message from the Russian government that was pre-positioned that then got hacked into or played?
	That's a big question, right?
	Or did somebody produce it themselves?
	Exactly. Because if somebody produces it themselves and then there's a cyber attack, I think that, number one, It's very unlikely that's just a rogue individual from 4chan or 8chan and somebody working on behalf of a nation state as a bad actor, if all that's produced.
	Now, even scarier is if they actually hacked into the Russian government archives,
	accessed that, and then was able to play it.
	I mean, none of this makes me feel good.
	This isn't the feel-good show of the year.
	I mean, what I thought about immediately, other than the fact that there could be nuclear war,
	was the panic that was caused several years ago in Hawaii, when all of a sudden you had their citizenry being told
	there was a nuclear threat imminent.
	And I don't know, do I look at this like some kind of psychological warfare?
	Not sure. But certainly if you watch the broadcast this morning and you're part of the premium section, I had Stuart J. Hooper on.
	And I continue to say it because it's real.
	If a nuclear weapon goes off in the world...
	Everything changes. If you think the COVID-1984 nightmare was a lot, if you think the war on terror...
	People need to accept the fact that this may be all one big giant ruse where China, Russia, and the U.S. government's And the European governments are all in on it.
	They're all in on it together. Hey, we're going to pretend we're getting in a fight.
	We're going to kill off some people.
	And then we're going to set off a controlled nuclear device.
	And then we'll be able to lock everybody down.
	Then we can force the 15-minute cities.
	Then you'll have to show your face and your social credit score in order to cross the fence and go outside of your 15-minute city, your open-air asylum, your open-air prison.
	Well, there would be no better way to globally institute 15-minute zones and restrict your movement than some type of nuclear attack.
	And when you talk about...
	And then we can expand TSA. We can have a huge TSA, and TSA can be everywhere.
	And you can walk your dog, and if you want to go to the park in the next 15-minute area, you've got to get frisked and stripped down to your underwear and go into some machine to make sure you're not carrying nuclear devices.
	Oh, great, but we'll be safe.
	We'll be safe from the bad guys.
	You know, the only thing that I might disagree with you with, but really agree in the broader sense, is when you talk about the nation states colluding with one another for a global outcome, I don't know that necessarily it would be representatives of those nation states, but you would have representatives from each nation state in a non-nation state group that is actually super powerful and essentially Is able to orchestrate with people behind the scenes, not go directly to the power structure, but within their position, be able to propose the type of measures that other people in that cabal, you know, I hate using the cabal term because it's been hijacked.
	Well, yeah, they hijacked that.
	They made up the conspiracy theory thing.
	So, like, now they just have these really nicely neat packaged words or phrases that they can put on people and things you say to disqualify you.
	That's all they have to do is say conspiracy theory or, oh, he said cabal.
	He said the no word.
	He said the goofy word.
	Ha-ha, he's one of those people.
	He's a Q person because he said cabal.
	So it makes it easy.
	I don't know, man. People are kind of stupid.
	People are stupid. Your average person has below 100 IQ, and they need simplicity.
	So if you can give them one word to describe something, they're going to go for it.
	And they don't want to put in extra energy to look into it, to research, and figure it out for themselves.
	They're just going to be like, oh yeah, he said cabal.
	Everything else he says is nonsense.
	You know, and I'm glad that you brought up the he said this, so everything else he said is nonsense argument.
	This morning, I'm scrolling through my Facebook feed.
	It's really the only feed that I use social media for people that I actually know.
	That would be family and friends.
	And I'm scrolling down through, and I see my stepfather had posted something.
	So I read it, and it was one of those prepositioned memes with words, and basically it said, when the network head has told you he's a liar, and the anchor has admitted in court he's a liar, if you still believe those persons, you're in a cult. Now, I don't necessarily disagree with that, but he was posting it, though, John, I'm sure, in reference to Tucker Carlson releasing the tapes.
	You know what? I almost...
	I actually typed it out and then I erased it.
	It was early in the morning.
	I was getting ready for my morning show.
	And I didn't confront him about it.
	Because I love my stepfather to death.
	We don't always see eye to eye.
	But we also don't see each other more than maybe twice a year.
	And maybe we have five conversations a year.
	Maybe. And I'm just like, is this the conversation?
	Because I started typing. I was just about to go, listen.
	You're not wrong.
	But when do we believe our own eyes and ears?
	And oh, by the way, Rick.
	Yeah, like, are they saying that those videos were AI-generated?
	Are they not real? Are they some kind of computer animation?
	No, you can see police officers escorting the guy around.
	You can see it with your own eyes.
	Like, how do you mean this is, oh, you're doing whatever with it?
	I'm watching it.
	I'm watching police officers give a guy a tour around the place, opening doors for him.
	He had no weapon.
	They could have taken him out and killed him.
	They arrested him any time.
	At one point, I think it was, what, 11 people?
	11 guys? Nine guys.
	Nine officers.
	Nine police officers. Nine officers who are armed.
	And this is the worst thing since, what are they saying?
	9-11, the Civil War, whatever bullcrap.
	John, we might have to play.
	I don't even know. I heard the press secretary.
	And that was the most...
	That had to be the most, like, 1984 thing I've heard.
	Well, that's what hurts me.
	Maybe ever. She might be at the top.
	She might be at the top of the most 1984 thing said ever.
	You know? Like, calling that an insurrection, calling it worse than Pearl Harbor, worse than whatever has happened, worse than Civil War.
	Like, get out of here.
	Like, it's evil.
	They're evil. And, like, this has been happening since 2012, easily.
	Right? I've been, I said this, I think, last week, but I've been watching Old South Parks.
	So I'm in the 15th season or so.
	It's like 2012. Snowden just had his revelations.
	They had the shitter thing with Cartman and Baldwin.
	He was tweeting out or posting out their thoughts.
	And it's talking about all this stuff.
	Governments spying on you and the sycophants.
	There's loads of evidence about Obama doing horrible stuff.
	But no one would ever listen to you, and you would be discredited as a racist the second you said anything negative.
	I started listing off.
	I have friends that have supported and voted for them, and every time you cited something negative, they're like, oh, well, that's just whatever.
	And then I list it off, and they don't even want to listen to it.
	Like, it's all made up. Like, you talk about Fast and the Furious, you talk about, you know, bailing out the banks, not closing Gitmo down, not doing anything he said he was going to do.
	Benghazi, you're a conspiracy theorist for that.
	And then bombing thousands of women and children with drones.
	And they don't care.
	They do not care. They're in a cult.
	It's a cult. I can't explain it any other way.
	Exactly. Well, that was Drone Bomber.
	And look, Drone Bomber.
	My biggest issue is that my stepfather knows I was there.
	He knows I was there.
	I'm sitting there thinking to myself...
	My mother's not with my stepfather.
	My mother called me that day.
	She called me while I was up there.
	She was worried. And I'm like, Mom...
	I've been at concerts where I felt more threatened.
	I've covered way more news stories on the ground where, yeah, my head's up.
	And it's not necessarily because I think that everybody around me is violent.
	It's because I'm seeing people get flanked.
	I've worked with Luke Radowski before, and I've seen what happens if somebody catches a rubber bullet or a gas canister in the head.
	I mean, you've got to be aware. I was never worried about that.
	I mean, I've...
	I've been president of a couple riots at Purdue.
	There's a couple from basketball games one or whatever.
	So I've at least been in a big crowd, watched people set a dumpster on fire and couches on fire, and then I've seen the police officers shoot tear gas to break people up.
	I've got a little bit of an idea of what that chaos kind of would look like.
	And that was kind of like good-spirited, people having fun, bad violence, but that was ten times anything I saw in any of those Even the broken glass and stuff like that.
	There was a few spots where they threw couches on top of each other and set them on fire.
	There's a couple spots where they took dumpsters and they just threw stuff in the dumpster and set those on fire.
	And there were some windows broken and stuff.
	And I would say that there was worse damage, way worse damage there.
	Than at D.C. Well, I'll tell you what, John.
	This is what we're going to do.
	We're going to break the silence right here on the program.
	And we're going to show Jacob Chansley and possibly his largest physical altercation of the day.
	Are you ready? And somebody asked him to put down the donuts or the bagels or the muffins, whatever else he took.
	Here it is. So here they are.
	They're in a hallway together.
	Let's turn it up a little bit.
	Wow, lots of ruckus.
	Now watch this guy go rogue.
	Oh my goodness! That's a kitchen.
	I can get myself a muffin.
	Hell no! It happened so quick, John, that we might miss it.
	The man goes in for the muffin.
	Here, let's slow-mo it.
	He sees a kitchen.
	Hey, I'm hungry.
	I want a muffin. He's getting that tax money back one muffin at a time.
	Goes over, again, Jacob Chansley, muffin savior.
	You put that damn muffin down.
	There it is! That's his big physical altercation, everybody!
	He yelled at the guy to put the muffin down.
	He wouldn't even let... This horrible insurrectionist...
	Wouldn't let a guy take a muffin, because that's wrong.
	It's morally wrong. Just, like, these people, they hate you.
	They hate you.
	If you're not in their cult, they hate you.
	They want you to die. They're trying to kill you.
	That's what's happening. Again, man, we're in such a weird place.
	I look at that, and it's cartoon level.
	No matter what you think of that guy, and by the way, Tuckins is live right now.
	I don't necessarily think that...
	He's like a super hippie.
	I've listened to him talk once or twice.
	He's super chakras and energies and whatever, man.
	The least- I wouldn't expect that guy- he wouldn't step on a bug, I don't think.
	I don't think he would- I don't think he would step on a bug in his house.
	I think he would try to catch it with Tupperware and take it outside.
	That's the type of person he comes off as.
	Let's talk about him a bit, because I feel bad for him, because obviously he succumbs- Yeah, he's getting run up the pole and his life ruined.
	For, like, nothing.
	For going on a tour. Well, not only going on a tour, but what is this real crime?
	You know, if you take away the trespass.
	Because really, other than trespass, guys, I have not seen the guy get physical with anybody.
	So I'm sorry. There's just nothing else you should be able to charge him with, other than trespass.
	And decent exposure.
	I mean, he's a guy.
	And even in D.C., I'm pretty sure...
	The fashion police can give him a ticket, maybe?
	I'm pretty sure, John, just like in New York City, in D.C., women can whip him out, too.
	So there's no way.
	Yeah, yeah, exactly. There's no way even if he identified...
	Well, as a woman, anyways. Yeah, exactly.
	Even if he identified as a woman, John, I'm pretty sure you still couldn't give him indecent exposure.
	I'm just saying that. Okay.
	But let's look at Chansley for a second.
	You got yourself somebody who joined the military at a young age.
	So... Number one, kind of believed in his country.
	Joined the Navy.
	Must have been looking for something.
	All right? That's one. Then, later on, disillusioned with the military to such a point where he is preaching, not only preaching the ideal set of Q and nonsense, right, but embracing it in a costume and And utilizing the fact that he lives with his parents.
	So in other words, he doesn't have a whole lot of real responsibility.
	And I'm not picking on him for that.
	But when you're in your late 20s...
	Well, I mean, if he was in the military over the last 20 years or so, he probably might have seen some action in Middle East.
	Maybe he's got a little PTSD. Maybe he's seen some people get blown up.
	Maybe somebody's drowned. Maybe he's got some stuff he's dealing with.
	He absolutely could, but my broader point about the fact that you're in your late 20s, early 30s, living with your parents, and there isn't that type of responsibility, that's kind of a stunt in your adult growth.
	No matter what has happened to you in your past jobs, on the battlefield, in the military, whatever, You're not very, you haven't gained your independence as a human being.
	Now listen, we all have problems.
	I get it.
	We all need to rely on family.
	Some people fall back on it.
	They did have these skill sets.
	It doesn't appear to me that Chance Lee had those skill sets, right?
	So he embraces this role as the QAnon shaman, especially after the election takes place.
	Now you can actually find him in other videos, pro-Trump, pro-MAGA stuff before that, in the outfit with the QAnon stuff.
	But like so many, after the election, it mobilized these people.
	And even after the election, you know this, John, there were still people talking about trust the plan and super secret squirrel indictments and all that.
	That was just...
	It's a lot. It's a lot.
	It was silly from the beginning.
	It's a gut-wrenching feeling.
	Because you feel like things are moving in a direction.
	People are starting to wake up.
	Things seem like, hey man, maybe people are going to step forward and we're going to turn this around and we're going to bring it back to something logical and sane.
	But then you hit a little snag like this, like QAnon, and then some of the people go in that direction and you're like, wait, wait, you lose half the movement to nonsense.
	Like to magic.
	Oh, we're following the magic, man.
	He's gonna put spells on everybody and make it work.
	It's like, man, no, guys, stay with the rest of us.
	Stay with the group. Stay together.
	Forget this nonsense.
	We already have a plan.
	We already have direction we want to move.
	Let's just go. Stop waiting for some magic man to do all the work for you.
	It's all part of the plan. See, to me, that is, you know, the true inversion of reality, right?
	The true consequence of this whole thing, the true cult, is that you can't, you're not looking with your own eyes, you're not using your own sentence, you're not using your own discernment.
	Instead, you're partaking in groupthink via a narrative that gives you comfort, all right?
	And that's what QAnon sense was.
	It was all these people, That were biting on actual information on these message boards, okay, and then utilizing that actual information to integrate it into posts that could be interpreted any way.
	I'm pretty sure that that's a government agency that created QAnon.
	I'm pretty sure that, you know, again, I was watching South Park and stuff.
	I'm having flashbacks of like 10, 11, 12 years ago.
	And, you know, we had Occupy.
	And it seemed like things were moving in a direction.
	People were starting to wake up and understand that Obama wasn't a nice guy and the Democrats weren't good people.
	They were starting to understand this.
	And it seemed like there was some momentum shifting.
	Towards people like, no, we're sick of the war hawks on the Republicans.
	We're sick of Bush and them nonsense dummies.
	We're sick of it. We're sick of Obama and this crap.
	And it seemed like everybody was moving in that direction.
	But then, all of a sudden, the wokeness kind of started taking over.
	And that was like 2013, 2014 especially, I think, 2014.
	And the wokeness started driving home.
	And that's really when a lot of this kept just becoming like absurd.
	And nobody really said anything.
	And it just kept coming.
	And watching the South Park band, it's like they're mentioning little things that were coming out then but that are now like really hammered down.
	It's like they just started putting the tip of the nail in.
	And, you know, South Park guys had noticed some of those things and were mentioning them in the show.
	And I think that the government's just gotten very sophisticated.
	Those intelligence agencies have gotten very sophisticated on manipulating people with social media and taking over movements, subverting movements, putting people, injecting people on the inside and then splintering large groups off to make them weak, to make that movement weak.
	Well, when we talk about federal agents being inside these groups to splinter them, just like I would assume that there are federal agents that are helping direct the movements of Antifa at the top, I would also assume that you had federal agents, assets, and informants inside the Proud Boys.
	That's been proven. The UFC pays people to post on some message boards as regular people in order to push people's opinions, in order to sway things, in order to make certain things seem more popular than they really are.
	I had that experience when I first went against McGregor, right?
	It was very obvious to me that an army of bots.
	You get a lot of bots. You get people with one to five followers who've had an account for 10 years, and they have no posts.
	But they have a comment.
	And then you'll see 10 or 15 comments that are very similar, if not exactly the same.
	Fitch, you know what?
	Before I go to this story, which is an Epstein breaking story, and it's actually important, you know, it's not some kind of, oh, the list is unlocked!
	No, no, it's a real story!
	Have you watched the Joaquin Phoenix movie?
	You were never really here yet?
	Yeah, my buddy did that movie.
	You're the one that told me about it.
	I've been telling people about it and I've been showing it to people.
	I've watched it like 20 times. It's a great movie.
	I keep introducing it to people.
	The selling thing is I tell them that it was the movie he did right before Joker to get him into the mindset or whatever.
	And they're like, oh, okay. And then we start watching it and they're like, oh, this is kind of twisted.
	Honestly, I feel like that's the better movie.
	And not that Joker's a bad movie.
	I just think that this one is just...
	First of all, it doesn't rely on something that's already established in pop culture, right?
	And not to take away, I think there are benefits and then there are kind of like downfalls to when you do that, right?
	Like, for instance, when you do something like Joker and it's that artsy, you're immediately going to have pushback from people that want something traditional, right?
	Well, a lot of times, too, it's...
	People are there for the actors.
	The people are there to see the character.
	They don't care about the actor.
	When you're the Batman, it almost doesn't matter who's wearing the suit.
	I watched Val Kilmer has a documentary out.
	That's a real great documentary going over his life.
	And that was one of the things he talked about when he played Batman.
	It's like how he hated it because it was so restrictive and it's like you're just...
	You're just playing this character.
	You're just a doll. You're a dummy.
	Like, there's no emotion. There's no, like, acting involved in it.
	No, and I would actually pretty much agree with that.
	Even with the latest Batman, which I actually really liked, there's that deadpan kind of tortured idea that you're supposed to convey, you know, that strong, silent type.
	And then even when you're Batman, they put on the voice all the way back to Michael Keaton.
	Even the Batman is super restrictive.
	Even sometimes the Jokers all have a little twist that's kind of theirs.
	I love Nicholson as the Joker.
	I don't think he gets enough thought.
	Nicholson was great. I think for that era it was amazing because it was that first taste of actual danger and darkness via the Joker outside of the comic books.
	Because in that era, for those that don't know, the comic books actually got pretty damn dark.
	Joker murders Jason Todd, the original Robin.
	And like comic books, this is way before Superman had died.
	And this wasn't somebody...
	I thought Batman used to kill people.
	He used to drop them off of buildings and stuff.
	But now he's like, oh, I never kill people.
	Yeah. No, well, Batman was always that he didn't use a gun and he didn't murder them, right?
	Even as the Dark Knight, he left them for that.
	But the Joker did murder, right?
	They even used that in a DC game many, many years later, him killing Robin.
	But you had, and this was a comic book where the person wasn't coming back.
	Had no superheroes.
	They weren't going to use voodoo or magic to bring them back.
	It was an actual death.
	It was a gruesome one, too.
	I liked how they embraced that, but the way that Joaquin Phoenix does his character in You Were Never Really Here, and the dark subject matter of human trafficking that surrounds it, and high-level political figures, and it's occurring not in some other country, not in some kind of cottage, on a farm far away, right in the middle of the damn city.
	Ha! Right in the middle of the damn city.
	So much to love about that movie and so relevant to this day.
	I really hope more people check it.
	It's on Amazon right now.
	It kind of got a mini theatrical release, but one of my favorite movies, if not my favorite movie, by Joaquin Phoenix.
	I did want to go back a little bit to where you talked about QAnon and its origins.
	Just like... Occupy.
	I think there were some grassroots elements to Occupy, just like there were grassroots elements to the Q and Nonsense as a troll coming out of DEFCON. But I think in short order, as it took off in a viral nature, there can be no doubt that it became co-opted and then controlled by bad actors within the intelligence community and nation-state apparatus to where...
	For instance, later, it seems clear to me that the Watkins people, Ron Watkins and his son, got a hold of it.
	There's a large documentary on that.
	But I think even as they were posting...
	The troll armies that you were discussing, the signature reduction crowd, they were jumping into the mix and they were forming those narratives.
	And eventually what happens, John, is QAnon becomes the mantra of the mainstream media in about 2019, maybe late 2018.
	To try to discredit anybody from questioning anything, conspiracy theorist, Q and nonsense, and then to directly go after Trump, which I think they successfully did.
	You know, when they put Trump on the spot about Q, the first thing he says is...
	I don't know much about it.
	I know they like me.
	And you're like, oh man, you're leaning into it.
	And then they had that one-on-one interview where he was sitting there and the woman's asking him about, I think it was like adrenochrome blood-sucking elites.
	And he's like, you know, that's not me.
	And he's like, you sound like somebody's crazy uncle.
	And it's like, oh my God, this is why you should have came out against it.
	This is why you should have said there weren't secret indictments.
	Trump's coming to Iowa.
	He'll be here on Monday. I put in for press passes.
	Where are they? Is Jason Bermas not a journalist?
	Do I not get my press passes, Mr.
	Trump? Well, Matt Taibbi, it seems like he's not even a journalist, according to the Democrats, according to whatever that lady was, who's not even a real congressperson.
	She doesn't even have the right to vote on anything.
	We're going to play some Taibbi.
	That's super rich to hear from somebody who's not even really a congressperson to say something like that to an accredited journalist like Matt Taibbi.
	I mean, these people are disgusting.
	I've got that clip.
	It's evil. There's no other way to say it.
	Blatant lies to discredit and shame people.
	After she says her comment, her very rude comment, she pretends like not to be...
	She's too busy to pay attention to his answer as he's reading like all the list of journalistic achievements he's had.
	And look...
	It's sick. It's sick, man.
	Taibbi had our exchange back and forth now over 15 years ago.
	He wrote a hit piece about me and my buddies over at Rolling Stone when he was working there.
	You can still pull it up. I'm on his side on this one, everybody.
	What? Okay?
	Sorry! Like, I have a lot of issues with Matt Taibbi.
	Before the Twitter files, when he was talking about, hey, who's been censored by YouTube out there, I raised my hand and I said, hey Matt!
	Me! Hey Matt!
	Me! I'll back up anything I've put out there that has been restricted and taken down by YouTube, which at this point is 50 plus videos.
	Every single damn one, I will go to bat for.
	Hey, Matt! I'm over here!
	I got my video back.
	Talk about it. That they nuked last week, yeah.
	I made a complaint, or I complained to Team YouTube on Twitter, and they actually were responsive, and somebody must have looked into it.
	I uploaded the video, it was going to post on Monday, and then I got a strike.
	I uploaded it on Friday, right?
	And then I got a strike on Saturday or Sunday.
	I think it was Sunday morning. I realized I couldn't stream on my thing.
	So yeah, that's when it was.
	It was Sunday because I was setting up my podcast and I was like, why can't I connect to YouTube?
	But yeah, so they preemptively gave me a strike.
	I appealed it and then they were very short.
	It's like, no, we've reviewed it and it's definitely a strike.
	And so I was like, my account was suspended for a week.
	I couldn't post or do anything for a week.
	So I complained to Team YouTube on Twitter and somebody looked into it and a few days later I ended up getting my account unlocked and the video was put up.
	So it's there now. It's a learn to fight video.
	It's age restricted, but I have no problem with it being age restricted.
	I think I'm going to age restrict the learn to fight videos from now on.
	I may even not post them on YouTube.
	I may just go straight Rockfin and Rumble with those.
	Well, you know, look, we're not trying to glorify violence, but obviously there's a double standard.
	I'm trying to give an education, but that's why it's okay if it's only adults watching it because it is violence.
	I don't want my kids looking at somebody getting kicked in the face.
	I don't. I'm here trying to inspire adults to get their ass out and train because you're not as tough as you think you are.
	You don't know as much as you think you do.
	Carrying a knife or carrying a gun doesn't do anything for you if you don't know how to retain it.
	If you don't know how to access it and use it and retain it, you're giving your attacker a gun.
	And, oh, I'll just get mad.
	I see red and you're in trouble.
	That's not real. That's not a real thing.
	Fighters, when they fight, they don't get mad.
	Getting mad is the worst possible thing you could do in a serious situation where you have to fight for your life.
	So, like, I'm showing these videos kind of to let people know you're not as capable as you think you are.
	And then some of the videos, people have trained a little bit.
	You'll see somebody who knows a little jiu-jitsu.
	You'll see somebody who knows a little bit of wrestling.
	And you'll see how much that person with a little bit of knowledge dominates the person who knows nothing.
	Even if it's somebody who just wrestled a couple years in junior high, you'll see him pick up and slam somebody at a traffic stop who doesn't know anything about grappling.
	So it's my purpose to inspire you to take it seriously because you don't know what's out there.
	You don't know what's going to happen. Things are going to get tougher.
	Money's getting tighter.
	Inflation keeps going up.
	It's dangerous. There's a lot of danger out there.
	People are breaking into houses and doing all kinds of crazy stuff, man.
	Snatching grabs, stealing packages.
	It's not smart to not know how to defend yourself on some level.
	And you need to get in shape anyways.
	You know, most people, 70% of Americans, men and women, are obese or overweight.
	Right? And if you're training...
	You're gonna learn that you can't eat all the crap that you want because you're gonna feel it.
	You're gonna feel it. You're gonna feel that you're not capable.
	You're gonna feel unsafe. It should inspire you a little bit to take your health a little bit more serious.
	I totally and completely agree.
	Look, It's not a movie.
	And the other thing is, you talk about it all the time.
	It's not a movie and you're not the star.
	That's right. And quite frankly, if you can, you want to be the person that walks away.
	I saw, and whether it was staged or not, I have no idea.
	Avoidance, avoidance, avoidance. The winner of all the king of the streets is the guy who never got in a street fight because he always avoided them.
	And have the smarts and probably the abilities socially to avoid those things.
	Talk himself out of it.
	Yep. De-escalation techniques.
	Or know when to run.
	I'm not sure if you saw the Jake Paul Floyd Mayweather video that is circulating.
	Now listen, this could be a work every which way.
	But the bottom line is, you know, from what I saw, I saw a mob of people with Floyd Mayweather and I saw two people with Jake Paul.
	Two people would take a call, and it looked like maybe they had ten guys with him.
	Who knows how many of those guys were armed, because it was probably armed security.
	And you have people saying, you can hear it in the video, saying, like, we're going to rough him up?
	We're going to rough him up? And look, he turned and ran.
	And like, that's so... Listen, it could be a work...
	I don't know. I don't...
	How is Jake Paul not...
	If you're in Vegas, guys, and you're not training, right?
	You have to train with it.
	Don't just do it. But if you're not concealed carrying, what is wrong with you?
	Yeah, it is Vegas. What is wrong with you?
	Like, get to the gym and learn how to make sure no one can take the gun away from you, first off.
	And then get yourself the gun.
	Concealed carry. You know, because we're talking guns, I guess we kind of have to talk about the Sean Kemp video that's out there.
	Have you seen it yet? I haven't seen the video, but I... Man, Sean Kemp's from Fort Wayne, Indiana.
	Okay, tell us about Sean.
	That's my hometown. Yeah.
	My brother played basketball against Sean Kemp one year.
	It's like sectionals, I think.
	I think it was... I can't remember if it was Southside in the high school or Northside High School.
	I think Southside. Is that your older brother?
	Older brother, yeah. Okay, I was going to say, he had to be probably- Old brother, four years older than me.
	Yeah. But, yeah, so, yeah, I remember, I saw him, his senior year, play at his high school.
	He's, like, dunking it, and just, he was just, it was just a man, like, a full-grown man against children.
	He's a man-child. That guy's a giant.
	Yeah, it was just like, what is this guy?
	This is insane. So, like, he went pro, like, right out of high school, right?
	Yeah. I don't think that Kemp did all four years in college.
	He wasn't one of those straight out of high school guys because that wasn't the era.
	You still had to get some college in to get into the draft.
	I want to say that Kemp got drafted in 89-90.
	So, you know, right around the time he was 19 or 20.
	And he was a giant. I mean, he's almost like...
	I don't want to call him LeBron James because obviously LeBron James is a much better player, but you hit the nail on the head.
	Manchild. You ever watch what LeBron James looked like in high school in those old documentaries?
	Kemp had that build.
	He was tall, lanky, but built out.
	He almost redefined the power forward position for his generation.
	This video, although there isn't a lot of context and the lawyers for Kemp are saying that they shot first...
	It's out there. Anybody can go watch it.
	Kemp's outside of a car.
	You see it from a distance.
	And all of a sudden you just see him fire off a gun.
	Apparently nobody was injured as the other party drives away.
	It just shows you.
	And look, Sean Kemp may not have all the millions that he made during basketball, but he's invested.
	He's got a bunch of weed shops that have licensed out his name.
	He's a guy that probably has a decent amount of money left just based on those businesses alone.
	And he's firing weapons.
	Like, what's going to happen to the rest of us?
	That's what scares me.
	It's like, how do you allow yourself into a situation in broad daylight in the middle of the day where you're doing...
	I mean, that could cost you your life.
	Maybe not physically, but I'm telling everybody, jail ain't fun.
	You don't want to go to jail.
	You went to Concord High School in Fort Wayne.
	And yeah, it was 89.
	My brother graduated.
	So my brother was like a freshman or sophomore when they played.
	Alright, we gotta play some of these Taibbi videos for sure, including the one that you discussed.
	But before we do that...
	And we gotta talk about Jon Jones.
	Oh yeah, no we do. We definitely gotta talk about Jon Jones.
	JP Morgan is ordered to turn over more records from CEO Jamie Dimon in lawsuit filed by U.S. Virgin Islands accusing Bank of facilitating Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking.
	Now again, I hope everybody realizes...
	This should be a huge story and you're not seeing it anywhere, especially in the United States.
	Jamie Dimon is Goldman Sachs, mother truckers.
	Let me repeat that.
	Jamie Dimon is the dude...
	Who is the mouthpiece for large banking cartels.
	He's the guy that goes around the world at forums and is snarky and obscene constantly.
	Now This coincides with the story, as you can see, of J.P. Morgan and executive Jess Staley.
	We showed you the conversations between Jess Staley, where he was talking about girls or women dressed up like Snow White, say hello to Snow White for me, and then requesting to Jeffrey Epstein a Beauty and the Beast scenario.
	If we start to get those types of text messages and emails with Jamie Dimon, who has not resigned, okay?
	Jess Daly's not a part of J.P. Morgan.
	I believe he's with Barclays, but if this heats up, he won't be for long.
	We may be past the point where these degenerates have to step down or even apologize anymore because I think the Dana White thing set a precedent.
	He publicly smacked his wife.
	I don't care who did what first.
	Anyone else, any other CEO, any other president of any other organization does that, they're gone.
	They're done. They're not the president anymore.
	They're not in that role anymore.
	Yet now, what are we, a month and a half?
	Well, I guess, you know, three months, I guess.
	It was New Year's. But nothing's happened.
	That story was dead two weeks after it happened.
	So, like, people aren't going to hear about this story.
	They're just going to cover it up or push some other news story, something that makes them feel something a little bit more, something that pulls on their heartstrings a little bit more, whatever.
	And look, I've got to correct myself.
	Thanks to the Burmese Brigade over in the chat there.
	They said that Jamie Dimon is J.P. Morgan, not Goldman Sachs.
	They are correct.
	I was... Remembering that he got his start.
	Jamie Dimon got his start.
	And a summer at Harvard working for Goldman Sachs.
	So he did not rise to the upper echelons of Goldman Sachs.
	That's how he started his career in banking.
	And yes, he was a part of J.P. Morgan.
	Thank you for correcting me, folks.
	I always do appreciate that.
	Let's play a little Taibbi.
	And then let's talk a little John Jones, UFC, and Bellator tomorrow.
	So here is one of the first clips right here with this gentleman.
	Daniels Goldman? I believe it is.
	Let's find out what we got here.
	Mr. Goldman. Do you think it's a legitimate objective of the FBI to stop foreign interference in our elections?
	I think it's a legitimate objective to stop actual foreign interference.
	Okay. I mean, I don't know what the difference is, but that's fine.
	How do you not know what the difference is?
	Either foreign state actors are actually legitimately changing narratives and going after our elections, or you're just labeling everybody who's counter to your narrative as Russian disinformation.
	Very basic. Very easy to understand.
	A fifth grader could understand it.
	Fine. So, since Russia used social media disinformation, according to special counsel Mueller, I understand you may disagree with the allegations, to interfere in our 2016 elections.
	Allegations that were never proven.
	A GRU list that was a joke.
	They say these things, these allegations, like, oh, like it was a proof.
	No, you just accused somebody of something.
	You never said any proof?
	No, they didn't do any proof.
	If I start screaming pedophile at this guy, ah, gotcha, because I said it, I'm accusing you of pedophilia, now you're a pedophile.
	Are you trying to say that the FBI had no basis to inform social media companies about efforts to potentially interfere in our elections after 2016?
	I can tell you that I read internal Twitter emails where Twitter expressly talked about the fact that the FBI couldn't possibly know more than they did about whether or not there was Russian interference and that, in fact, even they couldn't determine which accounts were actually IRA and which ones weren't.
	Okay, I understand you like to filibuster.
	That was not an answer to my question, but I'll move on.
	Yes, it was. It was a complete answer to his question.
	Yes, complete answer. It didn't filibuster anything.
	I completely understood what he just said.
	And I was like, oh, that makes sense.
	It's a good answer. That's just, these people, it's straight up evil.
	They're not listening to anything you say.
	They're just dismissive of everything.
	They have an agenda. It's sick.
	It's sick. I can't even believe this lady's not in jail.
	It's what I was going to go to next.
	He looks like Satan's asshole. Yeah.
	So here is one of the Barack star's top minions from the O.O. Bummer administration.
	You had to quit in disgrace.
	Disgraced Wasserman.
	Her title should be disgraced, said first.
	Instead of like Dr. or Mrs., should be disgraced first.
	Think about how much these government officials are carrying water for big tech and censorship.
	They are coming to the aid of the Trojan horse civilian systems that are there to control us and command us on what to do.
	Here's Wasserman Schultz.
	Rogan, yes or no?
	Yes or no?
	Yes. Good.
	Now... You crossed that line with the Twitter files.
	No. Elon Musk, it's my time.
	Please do not interrupt me. Elon Musk spoon-fed you his cherry-picked information.
	Spoon-fed cherry-picked information.
	This is what I'm going to say.
	Drop all the files.
	Are we done playing patty cake yet?
	Drop all the Twitter files.
	Drop all the January 6 videos.
	Stop it. This is why WikiLeaks was so damn important.
	Stop it. Let's stop all of it.
	You know, how are we supposed to combat this monster when four or five journalists got access to some of the information on Twitter and this monster gets to go up there with her narrative and scold a journalist for reporting on a small portion of it?
	...must have suspected promotes a slanted viewpoint, or at the very least generates another right-wing conspiracy theory.
	See, this is all just performative.
	It's all just performative. They're not actually trying to do anything.
	All they're trying to do is they're trying to...
	Look at that phrase right there. It's just...
	Oh my god.
	That's like a horror movie monster.
	It's very Leatherface, I'm not gonna lie.
	Walking Dead. Yeah, it looks like somebody cut the skin off of her.
	Maybe she is a lizard. Maybe those people are onto something.
	violated your own standard and you appear to have benefited from it.
	Before the release of the emails in August of last year, you had 661,000 Twitter followers.
	After the Twitter files, your followers doubled and now it's three times what it was last
	August.
	I imagine your subs have- He also had his restrictions probably taken away because of
	the ownership change.
	There's a lot of people whose numbers shot dramatically up.
	Once Elon bought the company.
	Maybe that has something to do with it.
	Maybe we can go into that a little bit.
	I have not seen a dramatic increase since the Musker Nuts buy.
	I probably gained about 2,500 followers, which is still, for that time period, massive for me.
	I picked about 7,000.
	Yeah, which again, it should be average for me.
	I mean, if you look at the numbers that I'm doing on my morning show, my morning show now on Rumble alone gets between 6,000 and 15,000 views between myself and RVM. That's just that.
	That's not YouTube.
	That's not band.video. Some of my band.video videos are getting over 10,000.
	Sometimes I'm reaching 30,000, 40,000 people a day.
	I still believe the only reason that my Twitter has even been allowed to increase a little bit is because Red Voice Media came in.
	They created a brand new Twitter account that had not been flagged.
	They also bought the blue checkmark.
	And they literally went from, John, get this.
	This should show you that if you were brand new and you paid money, the algorithm was indifferent or at least able to promote you.
	For instance, a lot of these videos we're doing are from Vigilant Fox.
	Vigilant Fox has promoted the RVM page, but Vigilant Fox is in the top hundred of Twitter influencers all of a sudden, which is amazing from the traction.
	They went, John, from about 600 followers two months ago to almost 30,000.
	Now, a pickup of almost...
	And they tweet my stuff out.
	So I think that I'm just getting the runoff from the fact that RVM hasn't been censored yet.
	But why can't we see the algorithms, bro?
	You know, why can't we see them?
	But here's Wasserman.
	Welcome to ours....which is a subscription, increased significantly because of the work that you did for Elon Musk.
	Now, I'm not asking you to put a dollar figure on it, but it's quite obvious that you've profited from the Twitter files.
	You hit the jackpot on that Vegas slot machine to which you referred.
	That's true, isn't it? I've also reinvested...
	No, no, no, no. Is it true that you have profited since you were the recipient of the Twitter files?
	You've made money. Yes or no?
	I think it's probably a wash, honestly.
	Nope. You have made money that you did not have before, correct?
	Nope. But I've also spent money that I didn't have before.
	I just hired a whole group of people to invest.
	Patently obvious answer, reclaiming my time.
	Attention is a powerful drug, eyeballs, money, prominence, attention, all of it points to problems with accuracy and credibility, and the larger point, which is social media companies are not biased against conservatives, and if anything- What planet- Oh my god, it's Gollum. It's Golem with curly hair.
	Oh my god. I got one more.
	I got one more.
	These people, they look like trolls and evil things you would see in hell.
	I don't know who this lady is, but that's already...
	Garcia. Yes, and I refer to that person as a source.
	So you're not going to tell us when Musk first approached you?
	Again, Congresswoman, you're asking a journalist to reveal a source.
	So then you consider Mr. Musk to be the direct source of all this?
	No, now you're trying to get me to say that he is the source.
	I just can't answer your question.
	Well, if he is or he isn't, if you're telling me you can't answer because it's your source, well then that only logical conclusion is that he is in fact your source.
	Well, you're free to conclude that.
	Well, sir, I just don't understand.
	You can't have it both ways, but let's move on.
	No, he can. He's a journalist.
	No, he can't, because either Musk is the source and he can't talk about it, or Musk is not the source.
	And if Musk is not the source, then he can discuss his conversations with the source.
	No one has yielded. The gentlelady is out of order.
	And she's out of order because he's interrupted.
	The gentlelady is not recognized. The gentlelady is not recognized.
	He's not said that.
	What he has said is he's not going to reveal his source, and the fact that Democrats are pressuring him to do so is such a...
	We're asking him about his conversations with Musk.
	The gentlelady has not yielded you time.
	I need to get into Congress.
	I gotta get in on some of this.
	You know, I promise, folks, I'm not gonna put up with the Johnny Nonsense.
	I'm not gonna be a small man like Jim Jordan.
	I'm gonna call these people out for their not only partisan activities, but their anti-Constitution activities.
	Oh, you're not allowed to make money.
	Oh, you're not allowed to report things and make money.
	Did Woodward and Bernstein make money off of Watergate?
	I mean, it's over the top.
	How about that?
	All right. Let's shift gears.
	Last 10 minutes or so.
	MMA. We got a day card.
	It's actually a stat card.
	Jan versus Dashvili.
	This weekend? This is new in your time, bro.
	On Saturday.
	So it's 2 p.m. Central time for the prelims.
	But the prelims are good, too.
	And we got the Krylov-Ryan Span fight.
	My wrestling class at 11.
	But yeah, we're getting the Span and Krylov fight back.
	That's good. I didn't recognize a lot of the other names on the card.
	The three top fights, I did see that.
	I mean, Davey Grant, Asun Sal, I like that.
	Those are two... That's a good fight for me.
	You know, those are people that have been in the UFC, kind of been on a downslide.
	I think that's a good prelim bout.
	Again, it's a long, big card.
	But tomorrow night, we also get Bellator, and we get the first of the new lightweight Grand Prix, and we get a title fight right out of the gates.
	Nurmagomedov versus Henderson.
	I think it would be a huge upset if Henderson were able to pull it off.
	Thoughts? Yep. It would be a huge upset.
	I think that Usman has the ability to win, but it's always a tough, tough fight against Henderson.
	He is such an athlete.
	You think you've got him.
	You think you've caught him in a position.
	You think it's over.
	You're getting the takedown. You're getting the sweep.
	You're getting the whatever. And he is able to use his athleticism To turn it around and end up on top or end up in a better spot.
	So his athleticism is a huge equalizer.
	He is a little bit older.
	He's had some more miles put on him than Usman.
	And he's not going to have the wrestling pedigree as Nurmagomedov.
	But he's game.
	He's always game. It's probably going to be a pretty interesting fight.
	We also got Michael Page versus Goiti Yamuchi.
	I think this might be his toughest fight.
	This is a really interesting fight.
	This is something that's going to be good to see because Yamaguchi, he's not bad on the feet.
	He's got a decent chin, good chin, and he can rest a little bit.
	And then he's got the jits.
	He's got some serious jits. So it'll be interesting to see if MVP can...
	Can do his point karate stuff on him.
	And, you know, we've seen MVP lose some fights.
	He hasn't won a fight in a while.
	So it'll be interesting to see how he bounces back because he lost the bare knuckles fight.
	He lost to Storley. It'll be interesting to see what happens.
	Yep, I like that fight.
	I like Linton Vassell versus Maldoski.
	I like Taufik Musayev versus Shabli.
	This is a great main card.
	Shabli, yep. Have a look at the prelims.
	Luna. Okay.
	Okay. Go back a couple.
	Go back a couple. There's Tony Johnson, a.k.a.
	guy. He knocked out Joe Schilling.
	Barzola, another guy who turns into a.k.a.
	sometimes. Theo Haag.
	Go back one over.
	Yep. Watch out.
	I think the other way. Yeah, Theo Haag.
	Watch Theo Haag. He's an a.k.a.
	fighter. He's 1-0. He's just getting started.
	Big, strong, skilled guy.
	Decent striking. Decent wrestling.
	Decent on the ground. He could turn into something.
	We'll see. Keep an eye out on Theo.
	For real. So let's talk about last week.
	Alexa Grasso has a gritty performance against Shevchenko where she may not have been...
	I think it was round four she gets the sub or is it round three?
	Yeah, you gotta watch the spinny stuff, guys.
	Spinny stuff is more art than it is sport and street.
	You can work it in there sometimes, but...
	Quite honestly, if you use it a lot, you go to the well too many times, it's quite easy to read if you train it.
	If you train to read the cues for when somebody spins, when they start to turn.
	Anytime you turn your back to your opponent, you're giving them an opportunity to take your back.
	You're giving them an opportunity to close the distance and get to a space that could put you in a compromised position.
	I fought Shoni Carter years and years and years ago, 20 years ago or so.
	And he does a lot of spinny stuff.
	And we trained for the spinny stuff and to recognize the spinny stuff.
	Well, fight comes. He starts to throw that spinning back fist.
	I recognize it. I throw a head kick.
	As he turns around expecting to hit me, my foot comes up under the armpit and catches him in the face.
	It's not as hard to catch somebody who's good at the spinny stuff if you've trained to recognize the cues.
	And you see video popped out of Grasso working on that exactly before she went out to fight the fight.
	Her in the back room warming up, working out with the training partner.
	They threw the spinning back kick, and she's closing the distance, jumping on the back.
	And let's talk about that.
	Closing the distance, jumping on the back.
	It was just that one mistake that got a little sloppy.
	And Grasso was losing a lot of the exchanges.
	She was losing the fight.
	She was losing the fight. But at that level, it only takes a little mistake that much.
	One little tiny mistake.
	All over that back so quick, I couldn't believe it.
	And that should be a wake-up call to people who think...
	I'm just going to get mad and I'll be alright.
	How unforgiving is MMA? How good is Belashenko?
	How good is she? How dominant is she?
	But she makes one mistake.
	One little slip up. And boop, it's all over.
	Jigs on her neck, choking her.
	Gives her the big white stripe and her face is all red.
	What are you going to do?
	What do you think is going to happen?
	You think you're going to be perfect?
	You don't think you may have a mistake and make a mistake?
	And that's 20 minutes in a controlled environment with a killer that they had to wait for that.
	Most fights last less than a minute, folks.
	Less than a minute. Sometimes less than 30 seconds.
	Yeah, I would say less than 30, 45 seconds.
	I am working with one of my privates today.
	He's, you know, 54, 55 years old.
	And... Like, I'll attack him, basically, and put him in situations and make him fight out of stuff.
	And it's like 15 to 25 seconds of, like, pummeling and fighting out of the position.
	And, like, it's like...
	It's like your arms just blow up, your shoulders blow up.
	And if you're not used to that, like...
	Good luck. Yeah.
	So let's talk about Jones. I mean, completely dominant performance.
	Hard to take it away from him.
	I am looking forward now to the Steve Bay fight.
	I thought that was going to happen.
	I thought it was going to be an easy fight for Jones when they first announced it because people will get mad at me when I see it, but I don't think...
	I don't think Cyril has that big dog fight in him.
	He doesn't seem like he's got that raging intensity like Tyson or somebody like that.
	I've never seen him pull the trigger like even Jon Jones and go to work and finish and damage.
	He's big. He's strong.
	He's technical. He's a good fighter, don't get me wrong, but there's something off about him that's...
	He just doesn't have that go-for-the-throat thing that you need.
	So he's going to get by, and he's going to compete at a high level, and maybe even win a title, but I don't think he's going to be...
	He doesn't seem like to fight with that ferocity.
	So I thought, Jon Jones, yeah, he's going to walk through them.
	But then I see pictures of Jon Jones fight week with his shirt off, and I'm like...
	He's still got skinny legs, no calves.
	It didn't look like he lifted at all.
	He looked like the Waynes brother from Great White Hype.
	I love that movie!
	It's my favorite! Yeah, it's a great movie.
	He comes out with a little belly.
	I was like, was he just taking the last three years off and eating?
	Are you kidding me? But then he walks out in the face and he starts moving around.
	I'm like, oh, okay. John Jones, a 205 fat, fighting heavyweight, is still better than most of those heavyweights.
	Probably all of them. Yeah.
	I mean, that's what it looks like. But then again, Stipe might be able to do it.
	I'm looking forward to the Stipe fight.
	I'm glad they're making it.
	I hope that nothing gets in the way of that.
	That's exciting for me.
	No BKFC this weekend.
	But next weekend, we got BKFC and we got BYB out in UAE. There was a bare knuckle last week.
	It was in the UK. Yep, I watched it during the day.
	Exciting. It was a good event. Tyranny, I couldn't believe Tyranny got beat.
	It was a fake double to the overhand that got him because he froze for a second.
	There was a couple fights, the other fight, but there were two fights, or three fights, the three main fights at the end.
	Those were the ones I caught, and they were all fantastic.
	Yeah, no, I watched all day.
	And, you know, they put on a great show, even the week before, the Alan Belcher heavyweight.
	I mean, look at that. I mean, Belcher was a second away from losing twice.
	You know, he got... I wasn't sure he was getting up.
	It shows you that sport, man.
	And I was watching one where...
	And, in fact, this was last week.
	If you watched, it was probably maybe one of the ones you caught where you had a dude who got...
	Knocked down three times in the first round, another time in the second, and then won the next three rounds and still lost the fight.
	And he actually split the guy's ear.
	I've never seen somebody's ear split where it was.
	It was split in the middle to the cartilage right here, and they weren't sure what was going on.
	Awesome fight. BKFC is doing it right, and they're coming to Colorado with the Chad Mendes, Eddie Alvarez, slash Luke Rockhold.
	Yeah, Luke's got to watch that man versus Perry.
	That's Perry's world, man.
	Ugly and...
	It's going to be interesting.
	Yes, absolutely. Fitch, tell everybody where they can find your stuff, brother.
	Go to johnfish.net and sign up for the newsletter.
	I'm done with my practical self-defense course.
	I just have to get it all put together and put up and loaded on Gumroad.
	And it's something you guys can download.
	You can use it with some friends.
	You drill this stuff. You don't have to go to the ground.
	You can stay on your feet. It's a lot of hand fighting and clinch stuff.
	And this stuff, it's simple.
	But you got to drill it. You got to drill it a lot.
	You got to drill it a lot and get it down and then work with your friends and then turn up the resistance a little bit so you can kind of feel your way through doing the stuff.
	It'll teach you how to dominate in the clinch.
	It'll teach you how to create space, separate space.
	It'll teach you how to maybe put them on the ground because a lot of times it's way too dangerous to exchange punches in a self-defense situation because you might break your hand, you could miss, and they could hit you, you could get knocked out.
	You're better off If you're far enough away to throw punches, you're far enough away to start scooting away and get further away.
	But if you're not able to scoot away and get away, you've got to enter.
	You've got to force clench, and once you force clench, you've got to dominate until you're in a dominant position.
	Either snap them to the ground or tie them up, get an arm bundle, get a body lock, tight waist, some kind of position so that you can calm the situation down or take things to the next level if needed.
	Folks, you can check out all my stuff over at various websites and social media accounts.
	I am live Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m.
	Eastern Time. Super early.
	It's 5 a.m.
	John Fitch Time. And that's 7 a.m.
	Jason Burma's time. I'll tell you what.
	My sleep schedule is all messed up.
	I almost didn't do the show today because I've been going to the dentist every single damn week as well, and my fucking mouth is blowing up again.
	Dude, I've gotten so much fucking work done.
	Like, every week, I'm spending $400 to $700.
	That's another thing, guys.
	Thank God that I have this job.
	$400 to $700 a week on my teeth.
	On my teeth! Like, that's a week, guys.
	And that's not even the biggest.
	Like, when I got the root canal, that was $1,700.
	Like, thank God I'm making decent money, man.
	Because I don't understand.
	Well, I do understand why.
	But most...
	Money printer go burr.
	Money printer go burr.
	It's just, look, the idea that your teeth should be part of health insurance and that it has to be separate and that it gets capped off and that it's super expensive is ridiculous.
	Your mouth, listen, I had periodontal disease.
	I'm still fighting it just to let everybody know.
	No, I didn't smoke meth.
	No, I'm not a crackhead.
	If I had to guess why, it's because, you know, past 12 years old, I didn't have regular dental visits.
	I drank a lot of alcohol.
	I put a lot of sugar in my mouth.
	There were plenty of nights, especially when I was younger, when I would slam a 12-pack, a Sam's Choice Cola, and that's what I was drinking in the middle of the night, rotting your teeth away.
	And even today, when I like to smoke a little marijuana, when I'm smoking my blunts, I usually put in a cough drop.
	I'm cough dropping up.
	So we got a lot of work over here, guys.
	And my mouth feels a little blown up, but I'm going to rest after this.
	Maybe have a beer or two.
	I don't know what's going to go on.
	But we will be back next week.
	Are we going to make Thursday the regular day for this, you think?
	What's that? Are we going to make Thursday the regular day for Mixed Martial Mindset from now on?
	Yeah, Thursday is pretty open for me.
	I think we can do that.
	I think that that's a good idea, because we also get right...
	Even if I... I might, because I'm talking with Red Voice Media also, about maybe putting together an MMA show, and I had an idea that I had to run by somebody on Monday, and we'll see if...
	We can put something together.
	Well, Ray, if you're watching, and I know you do, let's put it in your ear because we'd love to bring John Fitch on to the RVM family.
	We're growing here, and it is becoming a real network, and I want to thank everybody out there that has signed up for the Uncensored over at redvoicemedia.com slash Jason and redvoicemedia.com slash Uncensored.
	This is it until Monday, unless I'm feeling saucy and I want to do a fold-along for everybody.
	So, John, I'll see you next week.
	And everybody else, I love you.
	And we'll see you on the flip side.
