You know, and love overcomes all.
Love overcomes all.
And I wanted, this is my job.
I am to travel the nation, speak, and what I'm going to speak about is love, being bold, being weird, but above being you.
And that is my national speech that, by the way, Mike, I just got asked to write a book, and that is the title of the book.
Be bold, be weird, be you. - Welcome everybody to Brighton Conversations.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of brighteon.com, the platform for your free speech.
And today, first time we've ever had this guest on, and he's the founder of a video show.
And sometimes a podcast.
And he's a patriot.
He's a great guy.
He's into bodybuilding and nutrition.
And he has helped many other patriots all across the country to get things done fighting for America.
His name is Chris Ericks.
And his podcast and video show is called Flex the Truth.
And his website is flexthetruth.com.
Chris, it's awesome to have you on.
Thank you for joining me today.
We finally made it happen.
Welcome.
The devil cannot keep us down, Mike.
Oh, I know!
We've had a hard time trying to get this podcast or video interview to work.
We met at Tulsa.
You were there.
I don't know exactly what you call your role there, but you were connecting people with media to help get the word out about everything.
At the Tulsa event.
So thank you for all that you do.
And I'm just really impressed by your work.
Tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do.
Sure.
So in Tulsa, you know, I had a lot of roles.
So I just went there, obviously, to just be a servant-server, right, and serve others.
What I was going to do, it didn't matter.
There wasn't nothing I wasn't going to do.
But entertaining the crowd and speaking on top of being in charge of all the speakers.
When they came off stage, I would take them to the media.
And what I did is I grew relationships in that short period of time with people.
And then that's when I started connecting, you know, you and Scott McKay and VanderSteel and the Resistance Chicks and so many others with other people that didn't know one another because of the relationships that I have built.
I'm nobody special.
I'm a God-fearing man.
I was born and raised in North Jersey, hence Jersey Shore look, right?
And then I lived in Brooklyn, New York and grew up in, you know, the latter days of my adolescence in New York.
I became a professional model at 16, 17.
Did runway, did print, did magazine at a very high level.
Had a contract with After Six Tuxedos out of Philadelphia for one year.
Because they wanted 42 regulars and in one year I grew my back so wide that I became 44 regular so they ripped off that contract.
And from that point on I really didn't, I wanted to still continue modeling.
But because I was building my body as a bodybuilder at that time, you know, like there wasn't many avenues for bodybuilders like there is now.
And so I became a professional dancer and took three years of jazz.
People don't even know this about me, but I took three years of jazz, two years of ballet in Philadelphia.
I hooked up with Mail Reviews along the way, a couple of them, and then at 22 became one of the original Chippendale dancers on First Avenue in New York.
Okay, so hold on.
First of all, you're blowing everybody's minds watching this.
They're looking at you like, there's no way this guy's a ballet dancer.
Or a jazz dancer, but I've seen some of your moves.
You were doing some little demos there in Tulsa, and you got some serious moves.
It's no joke.
You are an actual dancer, and you were a Chippendale.
Yes.
That had to be a wild experience.
It was definitely wild, wild lasted.
And, you know, I was so blessed because not only did I dance in New York, Chippendales, but I was blessed to also dance in L.A. and then go on the world tour after we were in the National Enquirer and we had to, you know, keep a low profile.
They got us out of the country.
And we did the only ever Men of America Chippendale tour in Europe for three months.
So I was blessed to actually run the whole entire circuit.
And then Chippendales broke up, which a lot of people don't understand.
And I really didn't know what I was going to do.
And I had a son on the way.
And I started my own mail review out of Philadelphia called For Your Eyes Only.
And from there, you know, I was like, how do I brand myself?
How do I, you know, get publicity?
And like now how we do podcasts back then was talk shows.
And so I went on Maury Povich and Roland and Charles Perez and danced at the Fox Theater on the Montel Williams show.
So, yeah, let me ask you a question.
A lot of people hearing this, these are not normally the kinds of life experiences or activities that are associated with somebody who is a conservative, number one, a patriot, pro-America.
I mean, your nickname is also sometimes Baby Trump, for example.
Not sometimes, always.
I was in Penn State with Scott McKay and I heard, Baby Trump!
And I'm like...
What?
In the sheets?
In Penn State?
Are you kidding me?
Right.
So, how is it?
I mean, explain to people.
Because we live in a society where people are trained to put people into boxes.
Like, oh, this person's a redneck, gun-toting conservative.
Or this person's an LGBT, you know, flaming whatever.
Right.
It's just like all of this, putting people in boxes, but especially you don't fit any boxes.
You're a totally unique individual with a lot of skills and a lot of philosophy.
How do you explain...
You, the phenomenon that is Chris Erick's Flex the Truth.
I love that phenomenon.
Well, Mike, you're about to get your mind blown because you don't even know what just happened in Oregon.
So we'll get there in a little bit.
But to what you said, Mike, absolutely, right?
So God just orders your steps and you obey them.
You know, even before Christ, EC, right?
I was doing the devil's work, selling sex, Chippendales.
I was on Playgirl Centerfold.
But I wasn't nude.
I didn't go nude because I never wanted anything distasteful in my resume because I knew this wasn't everything that I was going to do, right?
So I did it very tasteful.
But God orders your steps.
Even with Chippendales, my birth name is not Eric's.
That is my Chippendale stage name that I made up at 22 and And I just found out two months ago what it truly means.
It means, you ready for this?
It means a light, heat-guided missile that can take out a tank.
Really?
Yes.
I had a prophet in D.C. tell me this two months ago.
And she said, do you know that God calls his prophets by weapons?
And I said, yeah, I heard about that.
And she goes, you're God's missile.
I saw 22, Mike.
And you saw me in Tulsa.
You saw the missile go off what happened on that, you know, last day on that Saturday when I took those two guys out.
But, you know, it's so funny because even when you're not doing, when you're not maybe in God's presence, We're saved, but you're doing the devil's work.
If God has you anointed, if God has his, you know, finger pointing at you, you'll be doing God's work and not even know it.
So I've done everything, you know, and this is what I was saying.
I say this in my speech now.
I say God took somebody like me, a misfit, a black sheep, Somebody that was cast out from society that doesn't fit in, Mike.
You're right.
You know, Mike, I've never fit in anywhere.
I didn't fit in with Chippendales.
No matter what I've done, I have never fit in.
And as I was younger, I said, you know what?
It's kind of sad that I'm a lone wolf, that I don't fit in.
But you know, I mean...
Go ahead.
Yeah, well, just to interrupt, I met you at the Tulsa event, which was in a Bible college, and I gotta say, you fit in perfectly with all of the pro-America, pro-conservative, you know, truth-tellers there.
I mean, you were so accepted by the entire group of people.
I mean, if you're ever looking for a place to fit in, you found it.
It's the Patriots.
Thank you, brother.
And when you're serving others, that's where I fit in.
Where I protect people, I look out for them, and I serve others.
That's my role.
God took me and put me in the dark and had me play all these roles.
Cast me out on all these roles.
Had my heart broken.
Beat up.
Bullied my whole life.
Persecuted my whole life.
Made fun of.
So that now, when he needs his soldiers to go to war, his warriors, I'm ready.
I'm ready because I've already been tested.
There's nothing that will offend me.
There is nothing that will hurt me.
You know what I mean?
And now I'm ready and my job now is to heal others.
My job is to help other people understand what we're going through now and take them by the hand.
It was funny.
I met this woman last night and we were talking and I said, you know, I love cuddling and this and that.
She goes, you should be a professional cuddler.
And I was like, I never even heard of...
A professional cuddler?
Baby Trump, the professional cuddler.
And so she started telling me this, and I was like, okay, this really makes sense.
And then she told me how much money I could make, and I was like, really?
I'm like, I can cuddle people in a car, I can talk to them, I can cuddle them virtually.
I was like, I never even heard of this, but when she said that to me, Mike, it resonated with me, because you know in Tulsa, and what I've done with Tulsa is I've taken that nationally.
Before I speak, I have everybody stand up and I ask each other, turn to one another and hug one another.
And then I say, listen, you did it wrong.
And then I show them how to hug heart to heart and connect hearts.
Because you and I had taught, you know, the heart is frequency.
You know, it's energy, right?
It's like a magnet.
And, you know, that place lit up.
People cried.
Once people realized that I care about them, Then they care what comes out of my mouth.
Because when I'm on that stage and the way that I look, Mike, I have half the crowd that loves me and I have half the crowd that doesn't because they don't understand me and they take me the wrong way.
But the minute I open my mouth up, then I win that other half over.
And, you know, that goes for now, you know, looking at my ministry, you know, and in Oregon, it started going to the homeless, going in the streets in downtown Portland with Antifa, laying hands on them with bulletproof vest, hugging them, asking them to come to God.
You know, I did two baptisms.
Mike, I did two baptisms in the Pacific Ocean at 9 a.m.
on Saturday morning.
A couple drove three and a half hours to come see little old me.
And you know what the woman said to me, Mike?
We know one another.
And I said, excuse me?
And she goes, we know one another.
I said, how?
She goes, you're a former Chippendale dancer.
I had a ladies night out about 13 years ago, and you were there dancing for me.
No kidding.
So you talk about full circle, Mike.
Before Christ, after Christ.
So first I'm gyrating and dancing for her, right?
And now I'm baptizing her and bringing her to Christ.
Wow.
Wow.
What an amazing transformation.
And you're sharing that with other people right now.
And, you know, it reminded me, you talk about cuddling.
There are professional cuddlers.
I've heard of that before.
Have you ever heard of this process where if you gaze into someone's eyes and they gaze into your eyes and you just maintain eye contact, nothing said, no body language, no words, but if you stare into each other's eyes for even 10 minutes, people's emotions erupt.
They just erupt.
I've seen it myself.
Yep.
I saw it.
I'll tell you where I saw it.
I saw it where a guy was a racist.
And they put a Mexican guy in front of him.
Oh, yeah.
Wasn't there a video about this?
Yes.
And they were in the same room.
And he just started to bawl his eyes out.
Yeah.
And what he found out afterwards...
Was he was 1% Mexican.
The racist.
Oh, really?
No, I mean, he was just beside himself.
And to what you say, Mike, the eyes are the window of the soul.
That's right.
You know, so when I talk to you, I look you dead in the eyes.
And I want to know what you are about.
And if you can't look at me in the eyes, we have a problem.
Well, you know, what's interesting, in culture, eye contact is only allowed for a certain period of time in a polite social context.
You know, I'm not talking about an intimate context, but just a polite social context.
You know, it's X number of seconds, whatever that is.
And then the people you're required to look away or look around the face Look at the mouth, look at the nose, or so on.
But we don't stare into each other's eyes normally in polite society because if it's not done with consent, number one, it's creepy.
Like if someone's doing it to you and you don't want them to.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like being stalked.
But if two people want to do it, it's profound.
It can be life-altering.
We have to get back to loving one another.
We have to get back to walking up to people and just say, look, I love you.
Hi, how are you?
I love you.
What a beautiful smile.
And generally, give somebody a compliment.
Don't give them a phony compliment just to make them feel good.
Find something good about that person, a good quality or a trade on them.
I can't tell you how many beautiful eyes there are in this world.
When I see a man or a woman, I tell them, you have beautiful eyes.
Whether it's a man or a woman.
And as soon as I look in her eyes, if it's beautiful, I go, man, you have beautiful eyes.
And we've got to get back to that because we're all God's children.
And God doesn't make junk.
So if God doesn't make junk, what are we?
We're the kings and the queens of His throne, right?
And so why aren't we loving on one another?
You know, when I see somebody with a face diaper on and they walk by me, the first thing I go is, listen, God's sitting here trying to breathe life into you.
What are you doing?
Can I give you a hug?
And can I take that face diaper off you?
Right, right.
Take you out of fear.
And I'm going to tell you, and I'm going to do this, and nobody better steal this from baby Trump.
I'm going to hold up a sign wherever I go on tour, and I'm going to say free hugs if you remove your mask.
Oh, I like it.
Yeah.
I'm going to give you a free hug from baby Trump.
If you remove your mask.
If you remove your mask, you're going to get a free hug.
And we've got a hug.
When we hug people, we protect our hearts.
We go in and their heart's on the outside of us and our heart's on the outside.
We connect that.
I cradle their head right into my shoulder.
And what happens is they have this not only safety, but wow, I'm really having an intimate moment here.
And this person cares.
Absolutely.
And because we're all human, we resonate with that.
We can feel it in ourselves.
We have an empathy circuit, you know?
This is why, like, I am...
People even tease me about I can't see...
Excuse me.
I can't see harm brought to an animal.
And I mean even simple animals.
I'm talking like little tiny roly-polies walking across the sidewalk.
I make sure that I don't step on them.
And people give me a hard time, and they're like, Mike, what's going on?
I mean, you shoot rifles and everything.
Aren't you a hunter?
I'm like, no.
No, I would never kill an animal for sport.
That's not who I am.
I would never do that.
Now, maybe in a survival situation, possibly, but even then it would be very sparing.
I'd probably barter something with a neighbor who slaughtered a cow or something, but that's a survival scenario.
That's different.
But we all have empathy.
We all have this empathy circuit, and yet so much of society today is all about isolating people.
Think about the kids in the schools, social distancing, even in the workplaces.
Wear a mask six feet apart, sit in a cubicle, have plexiglass.
It's like they're taking the humanity away from our society.
That's it.
And what they're trying to do is they're trying to take our souls.
They're trying to take our souls, which is, you know, truth and love, right?
And when you sit there and, like you said, the six feet, the washing of the hands, the face diaper, those are satanic rituals.
So when you're sitting here going, why is a three-year-old child blowing away a six-year-old child?
It is because of all the satanic rituals.
When you get there and you say a family of three, let's just say family of three, and every day they wear their face diaper six feet apart and wash their hands.
How many times a day do they do?
Let's say five times.
So that's seven days a week.
That's 35 times three.
Guess what?
That's 105 satanic rituals done in one week from one family.
Now, let me ask you the same question.
How many times does that same family pray to God and praise and worship God in that same week?
Nowhere close.
Yeah, right.
105 times.
So the balance of the scale of good to evil sways way over the evil.
Well, you're exactly right.
The only way to counteract that is with love.
You're spreading genuine love across America and also a sense of, I think, courage and patriotism.
You're infectious, man.
I mean, in a positive way, your attitude of, you know, a can-do attitude, an attitude of bringing people together, it's really infectious and in such a positive way.
You know, and love overcomes all.
Love overcomes all.
And I wanted, this is my job.
I am to travel the nation.
And what I'm going to speak about is love, being bold, being weird, but above being you.
And that is my national speech that, by the way, Mike, I just got asked to write a book, and that is the title of the book.
Be bold, be weird, be you.
And when I did it in Oregon with the Lumberjacks, you know, like, the guy that asked me to go there with them, he's like, wow, I don't know how this is going to go with Chris Eriks, you know, baby Trump with these, you know, burly guys.
When I did the beginning, when I did the hugging, do you know a guy walked up on stage to hug me?
Not a woman, a guy.
And they were blown away, the ones that did the event, because they said, do you know that guy that came up on stage?
I was like, no.
They're like, he's one of the baddest men in Portland.
Ex-cop, ex-military, burly lumberjack, and he came up to hug you.
I love that.
He came up, Mike, and had his arms out like this.
And that's what I want.
I want to break down those walls.
I want to sit there and people that are afraid of intimacy.
I met a woman the other night about this.
And I sat here and I told her.
And when I talked to her about being cuddled, she's like, I haven't been cuddled in three and a half years.
Do you know what damage that does to your heart, to your soul?
And there's more people out there and what we're going through right now to love on somebody, to have compassion, to lift them up, to serve them.
It's powerful.
Think about the dominant messages in society today.
It's all about division and isolation.
So it's division based on race.
You know, the media are race baiters.
They're trying to get people to hate each other based on the way they look.
That's critical race theory.
Hate white people because they're white.
And that's totally insane.
But then also the COVID lockdowns.
You know, be isolated.
Don't touch anybody.
Don't socialize.
Be afraid of your family members and all of this.
Those messages are not just destructive.
They are, I think, suicidal to civilization.
They're so suicidal because mentally, you're beat down.
Mentally, you're just so overcome with fear.
And fear is, yes, it's mental, but then it becomes physical.
And then you got people passing out.
You got people that can't breathe.
You got people that are having digestive issues.
And they don't understand why.
It's because you're living in fear.
Well, I had this woman tell me the other day, she's like, well, you know, I'm about 99% in faith.
I said, well, then you're out.
She goes, well, I don't understand.
I'm 99% in.
I go, imagine if you got married and you stood up at the altar and the priest is like, oh, do you take this person and be your lawfully wedded husband?
99% in.
No, you're out.
That 1% of fear will destroy 99% of fear.
Right.
It will destroy it.
And Mike, you, Scott McKay, Ann Vandersill, Resistance Shakes, there's so many others.
Mel Kay, I'm going to be with tomorrow.
All these people, they're watching us.
And they've been watching you guys three years.
I'm the baby.
I'm the baby of the podcasters.
Six months.
But they're watching us.
Do we ever waver?
Do we ever waver in our faith?
Because if we waver just a tad, they go, oh, look.
See?
They don't believe, so why should we believe?
So we're being good witnesses.
I had a phenomenal conversation with...
Scott McKay, Patriot Street Fighter, who's truly become my brother.
We've become so close.
And we were talking the other night on his radio channel about this.
And I said, being a good witness to people.
On the tombstone, what is the most important part of the tombstone?
The dash.
What does the dash mean?
What you did in your life To put a mark on civilization.
My mark is going to be show people how to love one another.
Show people how to serve one another.
And for me to have that as my dash, if you knew me prior, I didn't even smile.
I can't even imagine that.
That's all I do is smile.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, in the short time I've known you, you've just been one of the most enthusiastic, happy persons that I've ever seen.
And in fact, some of what you said earlier about your background is quite shocking to me.
I can't imagine that you were bullied, for example.
But, you know, I guess one day I'll share with you my history as well.
It's Some interesting similarities, because I was moved up a grade, so I was the smallest kid in the school.
Really?
Oh, I was the small guy, and so, yeah, I was the kid that they would sometimes beat up on.
But you know what that does to you, how it changes your life, and you become stronger, because you have to.
But I don't want to go into that right now.
Scott McKay, I'm so glad you're traveling with Scott.
Be sure to ask him for some of the super fruit powder because I loaded up Scott with this box of Health Rangers store product.
He's got loads of great stuff, so make sure you get some of that.
Mel Kay.
I'm so glad you mentioned Mel Kay because I've got my staff trying to reach out to her.
I want to do an interview with her, and I don't know a special way to reach her, so could you pass along the message?
I'll make it happen.
Okay, give her my number, my cell phone number.
And then, lastly...
We're putting together a Brighteon ad that would blow your mind.
You need to be in it.
I'm serious.
The message is in perfect alignment with everything you've said here today.
I know my producer's watching, and he's probably nodding his head.
Yeah, it's like your message is perfect for this ad we're doing just to promote freedom of speech and Mean okay.
We would love to It only take a minute or two of your time We would love to talk to you about that because the message is very powerful and You're also invited by the way, you know to have a show on Bright Town TV when that launches in July Because I think your message is very powerful very timely for our world now How do you pay for all this, though?
I mean, how do you fund yourself?
You travel?
I mean, you stay in hotel rooms?
It costs money.
How do you fund it?
So honestly, right now, it's just me.
So it's out of my pocket right now.
I've taken a step back into network marketing.
I'm looking for people to do sponsors on my podcast.
If you know anybody, that would be great.
They would love to sponsor on my podcast.
You mean like maybe us?
Yes!
When I first spoke to you, that was one of the first things I ever said.
And, you know, on my podcast, I wish it didn't go down the first time.
But three weeks before Tulsa, I talked about you, Scott, and I. Really?
Yes.
And my flexies know.
And when you come on, they will know and they will say it.
And it was almost like a prophecy that I said, we are the trifecta.
I don't know if the world's ready for all three of us.
That's right.
And I even said that to you in Tulsa, and you were like, come on, we'll do it now.
And I was like, I was freaking out.
Like, oh my gosh, Mike Adams, Scott McKay, and me.
Like, really?
Like, I talked about this, and, you know, for it to happen and come in full circle.
But, you know, Mike, you are a phenomenal human being.
You're a God-fearing man.
I know you're just literally a baby in Christ, right?
Right.
But you've grown so much in just a short period of time that I've met you.
And you are larger than life.
And there wasn't one autograph you didn't sign.
There wasn't one picture you didn't take, just like Scott.
And for me to see that, how humble you are, And Lacey, my gosh, I love Lacey.
Lacey, I love you.
You know, the people that are around you in your circle, just like Scott, are not good people.
They're phenomenal people.
Wow.
And I watch you, you know, and to meet you and see, wow, this guy is larger than life.
No wonder why, you know, he's so beloved and blessed and anointed.
Well, I mean, thank you for saying that.
I mean, you're larger than life as well.
I mean, you're a phenomenon, but you're right.
I mean, Scott McKay and myself and you, we were there with thousands of people.
I think I signed books and photos and hats and flags for two hours straight with just a stream of people.
And I took, you know, a thousand selfies or something like that.
And I hugged Maybe a thousand people.
Easily.
Right?
And just like you, I have no fear of COVID or anything.
And I wasn't...
I didn't have a piece of plexiglass like the Pope Mobile or, you know...
No, it's like...
We're connected because we are brothers and sisters working together for this same outcome, which is a pro-human future.
That's ultimately what it is.
It's a pro-human future in alignment with God's vision for what human civilization is supposed to be.
So we are all, you know, not only are we acting in love, but we're also warriors.
And you know that.
You're a warrior as well.
Warriors for God, for God's truth.
Warriors against evil.
But, you know, love is just one of the tools to bring people together.
So, it's amazing.
Lifting people up.
And not, you know, making deposits into people emotionally.
Not, what can I get at this person?
No.
You making an emotional deposit.
You know, every single person I see, I want to hug them, and I want to ask them if they know Jesus.
If you walk by me, do you know Jesus and can I hug you?
And if they say no, then it's a no.
Then I'll ask if I could lay hands on them and pray for them.
If it's a no, then it's a no.
But maybe down the road, that seed, like you talk about, and planting that seed, it takes a while, right?
To sow that seed.
You've got to water it.
You have to fertilize it, right?
You have to have the sun, photosynthesis, right?
There's a lot of TLC, a lot of nurturing.
Nurturing.
Oh, yeah.
And as humans, why aren't we nurturing one another?
Yeah, right.
Right.
And nurture is...
Nature provides everything that we need to do that.
That's the thing.
It's already provided.
It's all around us.
The food, the medicine, the healing, the connection, the consciousness that exists everywhere in every living thing.
It's all around us.
And the only way that evil can win is by disconnecting us from who we are.
So what's the old saying?
Know thyself.
Know who you are, where you came from, why you're here, what you're connected to, and once you have that concept, you can never go back to ignorance or darkness or hate, right?
No, I mean, in order to be unique, you've got to be you.
In order to be unique, you gotta be you.
But most people don't even know who they are.
Good point, yeah.
That's right.
You don't even know who they are.
And it's that man in the mirror philosophy where you look in the mirror and you can see, you look in your eyes and go, well, I'm not everything that I think I'm cracked up to be, right?
But then when you're not looking in the mirror, then you can really internally see what you need to fix.
And if every single person was just a half percent better human being, every single day, by the end of the year, they'd be over 150% better in one year!
Not even 1% better!
You know?
Wake up and go, what can I do for somebody today?
What can I do?
How can I pay it forward today?
Let me serve somebody one time today.
That doesn't cost money.
Go cut somebody's lawn.
Go wash their car.
What are you doing with my car?
I'm washing it for you.
This is an act of love, sir.
Back off.
Wax on, wax off.
I'm up on the ladder, washing window.
Good morning!
Are you trying to steal my car?
No, sir, I'm washing it.
It's an act of love, I promise.
Are you casing my house?
No, I'm wiping your window.
I'm cleaning your porch, sir.
I'm sweeping your front porch.
I am, but that's what people would think, right?
No, it's funny, like random acts of love in a paranoid society.
That's what we're talking about.
It's like, here, would you like some food?
What are you trying to poison me?
What are you doing?
You know?
Mike, you'll love this.
I always said, this is society.
You're going to love this.
You'll probably steal it, and that's okay.
If I gave somebody a gold brick, Okay?
A gold what?
A gold brick.
Nice big brick.
Oh, a brick.
Oh, okay.
All right.
A bar of gold.
Got it.
A bar of brick, right?
And I gave that to them.
Oh, wow.
Thanks, Chris.
And they walked out of my house and they dropped it on their foot and sued me.
Gold is heavy, yes.
High-density element.
I give you a gold bar, you walk out of my door, you drop it on your foot, and then you zoom.
That is society today, in a nutshell.
There is actually a video of a guy trying to give college students either a Hershey's bar or a silver bar, and most of them choose the chocolate bar.
Really?
Oh yeah, that video's out there.
I forgot who did it.
Yeah, yeah, they choose the chocolate bar instead of the silver bar because there's no concept of what's real.
Right.
I mean, the Hershey bar is fake processed food, hardly any real even chocolate in it, you know, cacao.
But the silver bar is real money, a store of value, worth, what, a 100-ounce bar?
So it's worth like, you know, three grand or something, right?
But they choose the $3 chocolate bar over the $3,000 silver bar because they don't recognize money.
It's so funny.
But that's true.
Mike, it's like how we trade time for money.
The average person trades their most valuable asset, time.
You know, remember the old adage, time is money.
No, it's not.
No, it's not.
Look, if I lost $1,000 right now in a casino, yes or yes, could I make $1,000 tomorrow?
Absolutely.
Could I get that time back that I lost in the casino, those three hours?
Yeah, maybe if I had a time machine, You know what I mean?
Unless I have a time machine, I'm never getting that back.
And people don't understand, Mike, that financial freedom is important, yes, but your time is the most valuable asset that you have.
And people will slave for another person, for somebody else's dream, so they could drive their dream car, live in their dream home, right, while they have no time.
Yeah, very important stuff.
Obviously, we just scratched the surface here.
You and I got to talk about personal development.
We've got to talk about finance.
We've got to talk about spirituality, consciousness, all these things.
So we're going to have to do this again.
But this is all the time we have for today on this one.
But it's already been fascinating.
I can already see the audience going, we want more, more, more.
Good.
We're going to do that.
Give out your websites one more time here before we wrap this up.
FlexitTruth1 on YouTube.
FlexitTruth1 on Briteon, Rumble, Bitchu, as of right now.
And then obviously my website, FlexitTruth1.
TheTruth.com, where you can get hats, shirts.
I got children, Save Our Children shirts coming out.
I'm excited.
I got new shirts coming out with Baby Trump's Heart to Heart National 2021 Tour.
So yeah, I'm really excited about that.
Okay, well, that's awesome.
Yeah, check out the site, folks, flexthetruth.com.
And Chris, thank you for joining me, and just thank you for having the courage to fully express who you are and share that with others in a positive, infectious way.
Every time I talk to you, you can tell, like, my mood is just uplifted.
We just have a blast.
And we've got to get Scott McKay in this conversation.
The three of us, it's going to be a riot, man.
It's going to be an out-of-control riot.
I can't wait.
They're going to have to call the riot police on us if there are any that haven't been defunded yet, but we'll see.
Thank you.
Thank you for the time today.
Really appreciate it, Chris.
God bless you, brother.
All right, you too.
Take care now.
