Live with episode number 14 of the podcast with our buddy here, Adam Sosnick, and our new friend.
Hello.
Jarrah Hutchins, aka J is what her friends call her.
That's what they call me.
And our friend Sam here has learned in the last 24 hours how to pronounce Fort Lauderdale.
How do you say it now correctly?
Fort Lauderdale.
Lauderdale?
Fort Lauderdale?
He almost had it.
By the way, no, say it again because he's Colombian.
Say it again.
Say it again.
Fort Lauderdale.
There you go.
Okay, for all my party friends out there, how also do you say Fort Lauderdale?
He forgot about it.
For Lickerdale?
Fort Lickerdale.
Because you get liquored up.
And the reason why he had to learn how to say Fort Lauderdale, because he's got a flight to Fort Lauderdale today.
Are you going to for the first time or no?
Yes, sir.
Unfortunately, we may not see you back here because if he takes you to the wrong places, you may stick around.
You're going to meet a Colombian from Colombia, even though you're from Colombia, and all of a sudden you're not going to be able to do it.
That's a whole different story of Colombia.
Anyways, okay, so why do we bring Jara today?
Let's talk about why we brought Jarrah and what we're going to talk about today.
So Jara, so last week, not last week, two weeks ago, Luis, when was the class that we took?
September 10th.
The 10th?
So the 10th, we decide, because I come in and I'm talking to, it's not every day you talk to your HR person.
I say, hey, I want to have a license to carry class at the home office.
This is not, not every company wants to do things like this.
But I said, I want to do something here.
And if anybody wants to participate, do it.
Who do you recommend?
She was all on board.
This was my idea.
Okay, because when Aaron called me, you know, Aaron Stanwix and I have known each other for a long time.
Yeah, she told me.
I can see it.
So I said, listen, this is what I want to do.
And I said, I think I want other people to get it as well because I think times are getting a little crazy.
So she says, I know the right person.
I said, who's the right person?
He says, this is my friend.
I said, okay, put it on.
No problem.
And I've been to so many classes and I go to these classes.
I'm bored out of my mind when I hear some people teaching stuff.
And then you walk in.
15 of us are sitting there.
Just so everybody knows, our buddy here, Luis Luis, Luis brought his mom, his grandma, his grandfather, his brother, his sister.
Oh, my God.
You had two-year-olds, three sons.
He said, everybody in this family is going to have a lot of people.
When he sent in his payment, all the family members didn't even fit in the memo.
That's why I really wanted to see that.
Why so many people in your family?
Why?
Tell me why.
Just because I want them all to be safe.
And the time for you is crazy.
I like it.
And then Kai from Norway led the way.
We have to recognize Kai because Kai led the way with the most questions.
I think Kai asked 50 questions and we're like, listen, buddy, we want to keep this to four hours.
Kai dragged it out to four and a half hours.
He was also the first person to sign up.
Was he really?
Yeah, Kai was like on it.
Wow.
So pro-Second Amendment from Norway.
To sign up from Norway.
And if we can get the right angle on Kai today from this camera, I would love for the audience to compliment Kai on his hairdo today because he looks legit today.
To the 12% of our audience that are women, Kai is single.
Just so you know.
Kai is single and he does swipe right.
So anyways, okay, so let's continue.
What we're going to talk about today, since we have an expert on this topic, what Jara does is she teaches a licensed, she's an instructor, firearms instructor in Fort Hood and helps people like us get a license to carry in the state of Texas.
What she also does on top of that is human trafficking, which she'll tell some of the story, just so everybody knows.
She went to sleep last night at 6 o'clock because she was working last night.
So she's going on fumes today.
Our buddy Adam hasn't had any sleep all night last night.
He's got deep thoughts about his future of his life.
And then I haven't had a lot of sleep either.
So we're going to talk about her since she's a personal personal protection officer, level three, about to be a level four.
So we're going to talk about firearm sales.
We're going to talk about Breonna Taylor's tragic event that took place recently.
Censoring of Second Amendment at Corporate World.
Operation Underground Railroad.
We'll talk railroad.
We will talk about all this stuff is weapon stuff, gun stuff.
Oh my gosh.
All three pages, Ky put it up.
There's Tesla in there.
We're going to talk about Tesla.
We do have Tesla.
That's right.
Elon Musk, Tesla, they want to sell a $25,000 auto Tesla.
And then American Household Collectively, their net worth climbed 7% in Q2 to $119 trillion, which is pretty good to see people's net worths increasing.
Nike's share has soared 13%.
Carvana's share soared, you know, surged 30%.
Barr announced $100 million more to combat human trafficking.
And then Cindy McCain apparently is not a fan of Trump, and she will be voting for Joe Biden.
The last time she voted Democrat, she was 18 years old.
So a long time ago, the last time she voted Democrat.
And she said she's going to be voting for Biden over Trump, which we'll talk about that as well.
There were some intense meetings going on at the UN.
And obviously, the most important topic today that we have to talk about is Mike Tyson's voting for the first time.
If you didn't know, Mike Tyson will be voting for the first time.
And everybody's wondering who he's going to be voting for because prior to this, he couldn't vote due to his felony record.
Now he can finally vote.
And we can kind of talk about who Mike Tyson's going to vote for.
But I think it's appropriate for us to take a quick moment here.
And Gerald, why don't you take a quick moment and share with the rest of us why, you know, one thing I like the most when you opened up the class, you talked about the importance of having a license to carry.
And you shared this story about your experience, what happened in Orlando.
That I think if anybody's listening to this, whether you're married, whether it's for you, if you have a sister, if you got a daughter, if you got a mother, if you got anybody, has to hear the story that Jerry shared with the rest of us.
Jerry, tell us what happened with you, why you decided to get a license to carry.
Well, I was in Orlando years and years ago and coming back from a vacation there.
And one of the guys that was handling the baggage took a picture of my luggage tag with his cell phone.
In Orlando.
In Orlando.
So you're checking in your bag.
He takes a picture because your license is on it.
I mean, what do you call it?
Your address is on it.
Address, name.
I mean, what do you put on there?
You know, if you lose your bag, you want to be able to find it.
You know, you want, you know, so you're going to just blindly put all of that information on there, right?
You naturally put it assuming you can, you know, trust the airlines.
And you think about, you know, who, you know, you think about who's working in baggage.
I'm not saying bad people work in baggage.
I'm just saying like you're thinking about like just random strangers are, they got all your info, right?
They got your address, they got your email address, they got your phone number, your name.
I mean, I'm not hard to find anyway.
I got a weird name.
But yeah, so the guy started reaching out to me and kind of telling me that we were sort of destined to be together.
Hold on, what?
The guy, he was a baggage handler?
He was at the airport and just started.
He was actually the guy that checked in the bags.
He wasn't necessarily the baggage handler.
He saw me.
He had a conversation with me while he was checking in my bag.
So the person we go to to give our bags to and get our flight.
What do you call it?
Your boarding pass.
Boarding pass.
That's the person you're talking about.
That's a trip right there.
And he starts texting you, emailing you, calling you?
Freaking MySpace to me.
My feeling is back in the day.
My spatula.
Years.
That was a long time ago.
And uh, what year.
Uh, it was.
Paint the picture for us.
Uh, it was 23, 2003.
Gotcha, I was 20.
No, it was 23.
So it would have been, don't date yourself 21 years old, 38 i'm 38 now.
I've never seen a woman just announce her age like that she's.
She said it on stage, she was so comfortable.
2004, this is the height of my space, guy.
Yeah, facebook isn't a thing yet.
Yeah, not quite.
Shara's traveling, doing her thing and some guy thinks he's destined to be with you.
Yeah, continue please.
And uh, so it's.
Yeah, so it's interesting, the kind, the kind of people that handle our personal information.
And another, you know, before I get to it.
Another interesting thing to note is, you know a lot of airlines.
You know, if you check your gun on your baggage, you know you can do that.
You can do it in your check baggage.
We learned that in class and uh, you know they, they used to want you to have a TSA lock on there right, so that they could look into your.
You know, look in your stuff, made sure you have it packed right.
Well, then TSA started stealing people's guns, so now they you know a lot of airlines want you to have you got it.
You got to declare it, they got to look at it right and then they want you to lock it up and have the key right.
So, the people that we're supposed to trust, you know this.
This organization that was, you know, brought out of 9-11, right now you're stealing people's guns.
So it's like, who do you trust?
November 01, when they came out, by the way TSA yeah only, if you think about it, TSA has only been around for 19 years.
Yeah you, some people think TSA has been around for a long time.
It used to be a private uh uh, uh organization that would do the security work.
Now it's TSA 19 years only.
You're saying november of 2001, november of 2011, two months right after 9-11, is when Bush came out with the TSA, got it crazy.
So anyway yeah he, so he was reaching out and um, it was, you know, it wasn't welcome and I was living on my own and uh, he showed up to the house middle of the night not middle of the night, but you know, at night.
At night, probably eight, nine o'clock, and then what happened, you know uh, he was greeted with the business end of a shotgun.
It was great, but not by you or by your boyfriend at the time.
No, I was home alone.
So, by your shotgun.
What was his reaction?
Uh fear, as it should be.
Yeah, I can only imagine.
And um, it was uh, you know, and after, after that here, I started to think to myself, now another, another thing too um, you know and, but you know, I don't know if this is tmi but um, this was kind of the second, you know, really crappy thing to you know, happen to me.
So I was raped as a teenager and I didn't want so that you know.
After that I started to think to myself, you know, I can't, the people that i'm supposed to be able to trust to keep me safe, right?
Uh, you know, my parents, the police, the government, you know, and i'm not poo-pooing on any of those people, i'm just saying that the people that we sort of naturally look to to keep us safe can't do it.
It's it's it's impossible, and it's not necessarily that they don't want to, it's that they cannot, it's it's physics does not allow for it okay, And so we have to, you know, was kind of at that point where I said, I've got to kind of maybe be a better ambassador, for my safety, right.
And a better first responder to myself.
And so I started to, you know, and I grew up around guns.
I grew up in a family that was about guns, but I didn't really have a lot of handgun experience.
I was a hunter, you know, growing up.
So I always kind of had the shotgun.
Well, I can't strap a shotgun in my back and, you know, go where, you know, go get my nails done and go to the movies and all that crap, you know, so I got to figure out, you know, what do I need to do about this?
And so I started kind of looking into what it would take for me to get a handgun license in Texas and, you know, that particular education because I certainly didn't want to shoot my foot off.
But I, you know, so I needed to get, and they needed to get educated.
And so I did that.
And it was a very painful, brutal experience because I was being taught, you know, no offense, but I was being taught by men who didn't want to teach me.
You know, I did, they didn't, you know, it was, it was frustrating to teach me.
It was, it wasn't cool to teach me, right?
Because I'm not, you know, I'm not a tactical Tommy, you know, person.
You know, I don't have military experience.
I wasn't a police, you know, a police officer.
And so I'm literally starting from scratch.
I'm like, I don't even know.
I don't know what that is.
You know, I don't know how this works.
And so it was, you know, them, you know, sometimes when you're at a certain level and you got to go back to the basics, it can be, you know, frustrating and boring, right?
You can't, you want to keep going forward.
You don't necessarily want to go back.
And so when I finished that sort of education and felt comfortable going to the range on my own and, you know, carrying a gun, I started to get, you know, some of my female friends were like, hey, I see, you know, hey, I saw you were at the gun range.
You know, maybe you can take me.
I'm kind of interested in this.
And so it started out, me teaching my friends.
And then I would, you know, they would tell their friends that I didn't know or whatever.
And then, you know, it kind of turned into a part-time gig.
And then I said, you know what?
I want to start teaching license to carry because I got a perspective on this.
I got things to say about this.
And so I went down, I signed up to go down to the DPS class.
It's a two-day class down in Florence, right outside of Austin.
And 180 people came to this class to get licensed to carry.
They only do it like once a year.
Two women.
Wow.
It was me and a gal that had just, Courtney, that had just retired from the Navy.
Now, do you notice a trend with women who want to get a license to carry or no?
Is there a trend with a tragic event that took place where they said no one's ever going to do this to me again?
Yeah, there's a lot of that.
There's a lot of that.
And so, you know, when you take this class, the guys that teach it are, it was actually a phenomenal class.
I thought it was going to be very boring.
Kind of like you, right?
And you thought he was going to be boring.
He thought I was going to be boring.
And I said, there's zero boringness going on.
There's a lot of action going on.
And so, but they tell you over and over again, you know, when you take this class, they say to you, you're never going to make a full-time living doing this.
This has to be, it's a side hustle.
It's a passion project.
It's a community effort.
And it is all of those things.
Okay.
But I'm sitting there and I'm listening to this guy.
And I'm like, you know, I'm like 17 rows up in the stadium seat in this place.
And I'm going, hold my beer because you don't show you what's going on.
You're all the things I know.
Like, you haven't seen what I've seen.
You don't have the perspective that I have because I'm going to get this license and I'm going to go into an underserved market because you don't even, you're not, you're not digging in this market.
You're not, you're not, you're not going out and you're not hearing what women are dealing with in their own safety.
And they don't feel empowered to do it.
They learn different than men.
You know, guys are like, guns, I just want to pull a trigger.
You know, and women are like, I need a checklist.
Okay.
I need, this is, this is where I want, you know, how do I know where to start?
And how do I know when I'm done?
Like, they need to know that.
They want that structure because there's a fear factor there, right?
Sarah, go deeper on that.
Like, what the mindset of a man getting a gun license versus a female.
I'd love to hear more about that.
You know, a lot of men are, they're not even, you know, they're not necessarily in the mindset of I need a formal education.
They're like, just show me how to do it.
You know what I mean?
And women want to know, like, what, what's the statistics of me, you know, ever having to do this?
Or, you know, or, and, or, with a lot of women, it's the question has never been posed.
So when I, when I teach, when I teach introduction handgun, for instance, and I do a lot of ladies-only classes for that, and I teach men too.
But, you know, the first question that I ask when I sit down is, I go, listen, how many of you in here are moms?
Okay, and it's most of the people that take that class.
And I say to them, Do you think in reality, because we talk a lot, we talk a lot of shit, right?
We talk, we say, you know, Mama Bear, you know, don't mess with me.
There's a lot of water cooler talk between the mamas about what they would do if somebody ever messed with their kid.
But I say in reality, would you really be able to pull it off?
Would a physical altercation when your kids' lives are at stake?
What would you do?
And could you do it?
Okay.
I'm not saying would you have that?
Oh, yeah.
And I'm like, I'm not asking you if you would have the gumption to do it.
I'm asking you, could you pull it off?
I'm asking you, can a girl, can a woman my size take down a man your size?
And the answer is always no, because the question's never been posed to them that way.
Nobody goes up to a pregnant woman and says, Hey, when you have that baby, do you think you're ever going to be able to physically defend it?
Nobody ever asks that question.
And it's a question that needs to be asked.
And it doesn't need, and we don't need to wait until we're about to start a family.
We need to start asking our daughters this when they're little, when they're younger, okay, when they get to be teenagers and they start doing stuff on their own.
We need to start training our kids, not necessarily to be, you know, warriors and fighters, you know, but we need to say, look, you need to start paying attention to what's going on around you.
And we need to be good examples of that as parents, you know, and as adults in their life.
You know, like, I don't have any biological kids, but I have a lot of kids in my life.
And this is the question that Aunt Jara is posing to them all the time is pay attention to what you're doing.
Pay attention to what's going on around you.
Assess your environment often, not to the point of paranoia, but to the point of preparedness.
And so I have literally built a business, a viable business on teaching people how to not die.
And that's insane to me.
That is insane.
By the way, there's a little bit of static on this speaker.
I don't know if you're getting it or not.
There's that, It's a lot now.
Oh, I don't know where it's coming from.
We've never had this.
This is a first.
Okay.
You're going to do what?
You're going to.
I'm just going to unplug this one.
Okay.
Going with another one.
Is it mine?
No.
Go ahead and put it back.
Okay, let's see.
Can you hear?
Still a lot of static.
Somebody's in the audience.
Okay, so it's not this.
I think that's China, to be honest with you.
They're hearing us.
They're hearing what we're talking about.
Jara's bringing too much fire to the show.
But the audio system can't handle it.
We are.
We are.
So if you can hear us better now, we'll get back to it.
If you can't hear it, just say yes, we're good to go.
You're killing me.
Someone says you're killing me.
All right.
So they got it.
Can everyone hear us okay?
Okay, guys, give a like, give a thumbs up, and let us know if you have any questions for Jara over here.
And give a thumbs up if you're feeling, Jara.
So here's a question for you.
How many women teach license to carry classes?
Not many.
Not many.
And for somebody that's listening to this, here's a couple things I'll tell you.
Okay, from a perspective of somebody I talked to where I, you know, we have the license to carry conversation.
One, the conversation is, first of all, I don't like having guns in my house.
There are people that don't even want to have a conversation.
Forget about license to carry.
It starts off with, screw guns.
I don't want any guns in my house.
Number two is if there's guns in my house, what if something happens and my kids get a hold of it?
And God forbid, you know, you hear about all these accidents that happen with kids and guns, right?
And then it's licensed to carry, right?
Why do I need to have a license to carry?
What's the benefit of me having a license to carry?
Like, who's going to come and do anything to me, right?
So, you know, especially with all the stuff that's going on right now with Black Lives Matter, with, you know, defunding the police, with Breanna Taylor, which we're going to get into here in a minute.
Riots.
Riots, protesting, election, all of this stuff that's going on.
Why do you think it's important for somebody to have a gun and let alone have a license to carry?
Because physics dictates that the only people that are going to be able to purposefully respond to a situation of duress are the people that are already there.
I mean, that's it.
And that's science.
It's indisputable.
It's very important what you just said.
Can you say that one more time, what you just said?
Because physics dictates that the only people that are going to be able to purposefully respond to a situation of duress are the people that are already there.
And so nobody's going to show up.
And you know, how many things do you see on social media where somebody's getting their ass whooped in the middle of the street and people are just filming it?
Nobody's hoping.
Yeah, all the time.
You know, so people are, you know, people are more about the drama now, you know, than anything.
And I think that there's a fear factor about defending oneself that needs to go away, right?
And the only way that that goes away is with education.
It always has to be education before legislation because you're never going to legislate out hate.
You're never going to legislate out crime.
You're never going to legislate somebody into an opinion.
So you got to change hearts and minds.
That's the only way to do it.
And the only way that you do that is through education.
And so what's been an interesting thing for me to see over the last sort of 10 years that I've been teaching this in about three years full time is the mindset of women when they first get to me and the mindset of women when they leave, when they leave my class.
It's literally, it's between, it's either one hour, three hours, or like five hours that they spend with me at a time, right?
And it's, and the mindset when they leave is it's incredible to see the transformation, you know, and they get to the point where they're looking at me and it's toward the end of class and I can see it in their face that they're going, I can do this.
I can think this way.
I can manage my time this way because a lot of women, especially, don't understand that your time management directly affects your safety.
So if your life is in disarray, if you're constantly late, if you don't have a plan, if you can't keep a calendar, that right there is the beginning of the end of your safety.
That's powerful what you're saying because what I did when she said this, this is the first thing I did.
When you talk about physics, the reason why I had you repeated it is because in my mind, the first place I went to is, what is the average response time to a cop showing up when an event is taking place?
Okay, could you guess what the average response time is in America?
And I'll go through the top states.
Depends on the neighborhood, though.
But give me average response time in America from the moment you dial 911.
I have somebody in my house.
They just robbed me.
I just had somebody pull the gun on me.
How long do you think it is average response time?
Five minutes.
27.
Three minutes.
Three minutes.
U.S.
Now, watch this.
Watch what happens here.
That's U.S., right?
Three minutes.
L.A. is 5.7 minutes.
Seattle, 7 minutes.
Dallas, 8 minutes.
We live in Dallas.
Miami, 8 minutes.
New York City, 13.3 minutes.
Atlanta, 9 minutes and 35 seconds.
Houston, 10 minutes.
Detroit, 12 minutes.
Denver, 15 minutes.
Okay, they used to be 50 minutes.
Now they're at 13 minutes.
What can you do in three minutes?
But here's the thing.
Think about it.
That's if they have somebody to send you.
That's if somebody's available.
So I have a quick story about this.
So, you know, I dated a guy a few years ago whose kids were teenagers.
And his ex-wife, they had, you know, 50-50 custody.
He had taught his kids how to shoot.
And at the time, his daughter was the oldest, and she was about 17.
And they lived in, they lived actually not far from me in the historic district of Fort Worth, Fairmount.
Okay.
And it's right by the hospital district.
And on the 10th floor of JPS is the psych ward.
Wow.
Okay.
And so, you know, I had a schizophrenic heroin addict break into my house when I lived there while I was home last October.
Okay.
But that's a different story.
We'll tell that in a minute.
I was going to say, you got a lot of texture, Jeremy.
You got a lot going on here.
You got like catnip for crazy going on here.
Yeah.
Predisposed, I guess.
Just sprinkling Jara dust everywhere.
Come get it.
Can't help them.
Come get it.
Okay.
Hi, relax, buddy.
All right.
There was a, they were, you know, so, so she was home with her mom.
It was like 11 o'clock at night.
Some guy just walks up the driveway and starts trying to break in the house.
Starts trying to break in the garage.
Okay.
Now, my ex had given his daughter, or his wife, really, his ex-wife, a 38 special.
And he was like, look, we're not together anymore.
We're not living together anymore, but you need to be able to protect yourself.
She was not anti-gun.
Can you tell Adam what a 38 special?
It's not like a special gift on your 38 birthday.
He was thinking like a birthday suit.
He's getting a birthday suit.
Jara, 38 special.
It's a revolver.
Can you search and show you that?
We all know what a 38 special.
I don't know.
I mean, I think it's good to show what a 38 special is.
Does our audience know what a 38 special is?
I'm more concerned about you know what a 38 special special.
There's a pink one right there, too.
So it's a it's a typical.
I mean, you probably saw these a lot in like 80s cop shows.
Yeah, I used to watch Dragnet.
I know that.
Yeah.
Dan Akrow.
Very impressed.
Yeah.
Go ahead, Jerry.
So she has this 38 special.
So she's, yeah.
So, you know, and she, she wasn't, you know, super big into guns, but, you know, he says, hey, you know, AG knows how to use it.
Okay.
Who's AG?
The daughter.
Oh.
And, you know, nobody ever thought anything of it.
Well, you know, so this guy's breaking in the house, right?
So the mom, she's calling 911.
She's like, hey, somebody's breaking in my house, like right now.
And the Fort Worth Police Department says, I'm sorry, man.
We don't have anybody to send you.
That's what they tell her.
Okay.
So she's in the fetal position in the kitchen.
She's like, you know, hiding in the kitchen, right?
AG walks right up the stairs and goes and gets the 38 special and comes down.
She takes the tactical position, right, by the door, waits, okay?
Doesn't go out and, you know, doesn't leave the tactical advantage of the home like we talked about in class, you know, doesn't leave the tactical advantage of the home to go, you know, confront the threat.
Okay.
She waits.
And she was like, and, you know, mom's crying.
Okay.
And she's.
AG's, how old?
17?
17.
And she like, she's trained for this.
Yeah.
She's learned from us, right?
And she looks at her mom and she's like, I'm just telling you, mom, if he comes through the door, I'm going to shoot him.
And you need to be ready for that.
Okay.
It never happened.
He couldn't figure his way into the garage.
It took about 15 minutes.
He leaves.
Okay.
The cops show up an hour and a half later.
There you go.
Okay.
Yeah.
And they make a statement.
And, you know, and so she's, you know, AG comes to brunch with us like a few days later and she's telling us this and she said it.
And, you know, out of a 17-year-old's mouth, she was like, Dad, I'm so glad that you taught me how to do that because I was scared, but I knew what to do.
Okay.
And that's the thing.
So you have a 17-year-old that came that close to having to do what we never imagined we would ever have to do.
What do you think about having a license to carry Adam?
I mean, you know, nightclubs, Miami, you know, you're selling insurance policies, life settlements.
You can't bring a gun into a club, that's for sure.
Kai.
Something that comes to mind, we had the gentleman come.
I escape his name.
He did an interview.
Former Secret Service FBI agent.
Clint Hill?
Good night.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Okay.
Yes, yes, yes.
What's his name again?
His last name is Shafer.
Craig Schaefer.
Craig?
Craig.
Craig Schaefer.
Craig Schaefer.
Stud, Stud.
You have a guy, right?
And he said there's, what, 8 billion people on this planet?
How many billion people on this planet?
7.8.
Okay.
Who's counting?
Pat knows.
He said 95% of people are good, decent, normal, great people.
5% of people are just straight up lunatics, psychos, homicidal maniacs will kill you.
So you're thinking, oh, 95% of people is great, right?
It's awesome.
5%, okay, that's not so much.
Pat, I know you're a math wizard.
What's 5% of 7.8 billion?
Small number.
3.5.
3.5 million.
5%?
3.78.
3.8 million.
Okay.
Million.
So basically, the entire population is 300.
380 million.
380.
Essentially, how many people are in America?
328.
Okay, so basically that's the equivalent of the United States and Canada that are straight up maniacs out there.
That's a great statistic.
Okay, so there you go.
Feel free to use that.
So extrapolate that all over the world.
So yeah.
But that's what you're saying.
That's what I tell my students, though.
This is what I tell my students.
And it's mind-boggling because when I say it, it's like a light goes off in their head.
I say, look, there's no safe places.
Yeah.
There's only safe people.
And one person can come and change the dynamic of an environment immediately.
And the environment is changed for the duration of their time in that environment.
Yeah.
So I got a question for you.
I got to quit.
Last night I pulled up a bunch of stats about guns, okay?
Because I want to know stats about guns.
What percentage of gun ownership in the world do you think is in U.S.?
Very high.
All the guns in the world, what percentage do you think is U.S.?
Very high.
Give me a number.
You want to give us a multiple choice or do you want us to guess?
No, I just want you to guess.
So imagine out of all the gun owners in the world, there is 857 million gun owners in the world.
What percentage is U.S.?
A quarter.
Okay, you're saying quarter.
What do you think it is?
I'm curious, Louise.
Out of all the registered gun owners, what percentage is U.S.?
I'm going to say 15%.
Yeah, I'm going to go lower.
20%.
20%.
What are you going to say?
30%, Kai.
A quarter.
You said 50%.
You said half.
Stick to it.
Well, okay, sure.
46%.
She wins, okay?
46% of gun owners in the world are in the U.S. Think about that.
Think about that.
That's a big number.
But 46%.
Does that count multiple guns?
Like, we know people that have 50 guns in their house.
No, no, no, no.
This is just you're a gun owner, you're one.
It doesn't matter how many you own.
You own at least one, right?
I'm sorry, 46% of civilian guns owned.
Okay, you're right.
Okay, right.
Multiple guns.
Guns owned.
So we have some people in America that have a dozen guns in their house.
Watch this.
Who do you think is number two country?
Who do you think is number two country?
Australia.
You will never guess number two country.
Oh, we know it's not Venezuela.
Okay, it's not Venezuela.
It's not Australia.
Who do you think is number two?
Kadwa, if you're listening to this, who do you think is the number two country that has the most guns owned?
Number two.
It's Switzerland.
No.
India.
India is number two.
Sweden.
India.
I would have never guessed India.
Of course.
What do you mean?
There's a billion people that's a democracy.
So you did the math is what you did, but 71.1 million guns are registered in India.
71.1.
Now watch what happens here.
Okay.
Then I went in and I looked at different stats.
Okay.
On gun ownership statistic.
Okay.
42% of households own a gun in America.
42% of households.
That's a big number, by the way.
42%.
30% of individuals own a gun.
That means three out of 10.
So in this room, 2, 4, 6, out of 6, two of us own guns.
Do you own one?
Luis's whole family has guns.
He doesn't, though.
He doesn't.
Two of us do.
That makes about sense.
I have enough for all of you.
Yeah, there's plenty in that safe.
Someone comes in the weird to value tame it.
Shara's got it.
47% of male men own a gun.
Only 13% women.
47% to 13% when think about it.
Who actually needs it?
Who doesn't need it?
It's the other way around of ownership.
My good buddy Sean Lowry, shout out to him.
He says, what's number three?
What's number three?
I only have top two right now.
I don't know.
Okay, Sean, do us a favor.
I do gold and silver.
I don't go bronze, but he wants to go.
I don't go bronze.
Sean Lowry, find that out for you.
It's like Sweden.
I think it's probably Sweden.
Why Sweden?
So watch this.
I think it's either Sweden or Switzerland that makes you do be in the military.
Kai, are guns like a thing in Norway?
that allowed is it a guys these stats are about to get more interesting this is I'm getting to a question here.
Watch these stats.
Check this out.
Let's go down the DC gun route.
So we have male 47, female, 13%.
White, 33%.
Non-white, me, 18%.
Okay.
You're considered white, just so you know that.
Me?
Not me.
Come on, man.
Republicans, surprisingly, 41%.
Democrats, 23%.
If there was a fight between if a civil war broke out, let's not even go there.
Let's olive brand.
Independent, 27%.
By the way, actually, Republicans have nearly twice as much guns they own as Democrats.
Shout out to my Republican friends out there, buddy.
I'm on your side when we're going down to a war now.
Come on now.
Okay, so now here's some other stats.
Civilians defend themselves with a gun an estimated 990,000 times a year.
Civilians defend themselves with a gun an estimated 990,000 times.
That's a lot of times, by the way.
A million times a year.
Yes, exactly.
Americans use guns to frighten away intruders 498,000 times.
You come into my house, cha-cha.
Okay.
Oh, shit.
Something's going to go down if I don't want you to.
40% of felons decided not to commit crime because they knew or believed the victim was carrying a gun.
That's a very, going back to what she was talking about, 40%.
But we're about to get to a question here that kind of threw me off a little bit.
I got two stats I want to bring up.
I want to ask your thoughts on this.
And obviously our expert gunman here, Adam, 27 years, you know, he's been watching people with guns, but never owned it.
But education level of gun owners.
You ready?
Education level of gun owners.
This is a very weird stat, Kai.
And I'm curious.
I have my own assumptions why this is, but I want to hear your thoughts.
College postgraduates is the lowest percentage of gun owners.
30%.
So if you got an MBA, it's the lowest percentage of gun owners.
Then it's college graduates, 37%.
Some college, 41%.
High school grad or less, 42%.
So the more the education, the less gun ownership.
The less conversation.
Exactly.
Let's have that conversation.
Because I knew you were going to love this with your peers on your community.
Educated people.
So if you have an MBA on the wall, there's a chance, there's a lower chance of you having a gun than a person that barely has a high school diploma.
Why is that?
Go for it.
I think that's just part of culture, right?
United States, The more that you're in college, you're working in a high-level career, you're a lawyer, you're a doctor, you're working at a white-collar business, probably the less likely you're going to be using a gun.
I don't know.
Jara?
I think that it's because you feel safer where you are.
There we go.
Because you're educated.
You're probably typically making more money.
You probably feel like you live in a safe place.
Okay.
Okay.
Or you have gated security or you have a lot of people who may not have a lot of cars.
You can afford a butler with a gun.
Just because you got an affordable butler with a gun.
What are you living in the back cave or something like that?
All my butlers got guns, guys.
Come on.
Okay, Alfred.
Why else?
Jara, you could be my Alfred.
I'll have you any day of the week.
Let's go.
So why else, though?
Why else do people with the grooms?
I would love to hear your opinion on this.
You get an angle on this, so I don't want to step in the PBD's track.
No, no, no, you guys.
I'm asking you guys.
I'm just giving.
I'm just statistics.
I think it's part of the culture.
And I don't want to stereotype, but, you know, the first thing.
Ooh.
I think that's a sign that I'm just not going to.
Jerry, why do you take me to the paper?
I'll give you a couple thoughts.
I'll give you a couple thoughts.
When Adam gets nervous, his seat drops.
It just reads him well.
I just realized that Jara has a gun, and I'm trying to combat her.
Are you right now?
Yeah, that's right.
Yes, she is right now.
Jara, I apologize for anything I may or may not have said already.
I'm sure our audience is.
Can you imagine if a soy boy were to date a Jara?
If a soy boy were to date a Jara.
Now, a soyboy is what?
A guy who is.
That was actually going to be my next question.
What is a soy boy?
I found that out.
So a soy boy.
The chat's going to be lit, right?
By the way, I would love to see who actually came up with that nickname first.
Who came up with that nickname first?
I think it was a girl.
Somebody.
Soyboy is a pejorative term often used in online communities to describe men perceived as lacking masculine characteristics.
The term bears many similarities.
There's many different things.
That's been compared to the slang term of, how do you pronounce that?
Cuck.
Cuck?
Yeah.
Cuck.
Another term popularly used as an insult for male femininity by online communities.
Soy boy, I don't know if you're a soy boy, but if a soy boy were to date a...
I'm not a soy boy, but I play one on a podcast.
Yeah, but you're definitely not a soy boy.
If one of the stats said a soyboy is a guy who marries his first girlfriend, that's definitely not going to be you.
Because you've been on your 200 one.
He's still not married.
So we'll figure it out what it is.
If a soyboy were to date a Jara and they're at a bar and a guy comes and talks smack to the soyboy, what's the soyboy going to say?
I swear to God, you say one more thing, Jara's going to whoop you.
You say one more thing, Jara, Jara, you want to have a song?
Say one more thing right now.
She's going to put you in your face.
I feel like, you know, if a soy boy ends up with Jara and they say you may kiss the bride, Jara's going to pick me up and like walk me out.
I'm going to like take you over the threshold.
Is that what we're going with it?
Oh, my God.
But let me give you my theory why I think the more comfortable.
You know, I've never dated a girl like Jara.
Every girl I've ever dated is not me hitting on you.
Are you scared?
Every girl I've ever dated has been like more of like a feminine, you know, like a feminine model type.
You know, you're watching with your language, right?
Now our feminist is going to come after you.
We got a big feminist community.
Good, great.
I enjoy this.
Welcome to the party, y'all.
But I've never dated a girl that's like, all right, buddy, I got this from here, soy boy.
You know, it's not that you talk like that.
You're very feminine yourself.
Not that you're not feminine, Jara.
The only thing the moment you went there, you couldn't come back.
You're committed.
I just need more Jara.
The only reason I would do it for you is because I'm less likely to be convicted by a jury.
Okay.
I don't know what that means.
Why are you less likely to be convicted?
I'm a woman.
Okay.
I'm a woman that defended myself with a firearm.
So, you know, statistically, I'm probably less likely to be convicted by a jury.
So you should use that to your full advantage.
What type of guys do you typically date, Jarrett?
You said you're single?
No, no.
She's got a boyfriend.
No, I do.
You do have a boyfriend.
Okay, cool.
Tell us about your boyfriend.
He's big.
He's a very large person.
He's a big dude.
Yes.
How big is Big?
He's about 6'5, probably 240, 250.
And are you more like, I want a manly, big, burly, you know, gun-carrying kind of guy?
We met at the gun range.
So it's not going to happen at your comedy club.
99% of the girls I've dated have been in a club and live, club live in South Beach.
Like, she's meeting dudes at a gun range.
Kai meets girls at the library.
Sam meets girls at a salsa club.
Self-made yoga lounge.
Yoga place he goes to.
It's the self-what do you call it? Self-parliament.
Do-it-yourself yoga.
It's a nice one.
So is that typically the kind of guys you date, like the bigger gun-rangey type of guys?
No, I mean, I dated an entrepreneur before that.
I mean, who, you know, I mean, he was a gun owner, but it's not like he, you know, went all the time.
Gotcha.
You know, I just, I don't know that I have a type, honestly.
Would you ever date a guy that does not own a gun?
That would be tough.
That would be tough.
Straight up.
That's like, you know, let me check the boxes here.
All right, cool, good looking, you know, makes money, funny, doesn't own a gun, get this guy.
By the way, you're making people uncomfortable.
Yeah, I dated a comedian from New York one time, and that was interesting.
And he wasn't really super like pro-gun.
He wasn't.
No.
So I can only imagine how that date goes.
It was very hard.
You give a hug, and after you give her a hug, you feel something very, you know, hard over here, and it's a gun.
You're like, wait a minute, what is that all about?
Oh, it's my gun.
Do you have a gun?
It's better than whatever the alternative would be.
Please tell me that's good.
Well, that's happened before as well.
But anyway, single denormal.
So let me go back to the theory.
Let me go back to the theory here on why the percentages.
Our audience does not want me asking Jara questions.
Our audience is very offended that I would delve into her personal life.
Are you okay talking about your personal life?
Well, I mean, I'm armed.
Okay, that's your gun.
You know what?
For our audience, I love you guys.
I'm a little toy boy's getting knocked out.
Listen, we're good, guys.
Take a lesson from me.
You take punches, you keep coming back.
Use that in your own life.
So let's go back to this.
My theory on these stats.
Okay, so the more the education.
Yeah, let's get back to that.
The less the gun ownership.
I think absolutely I agree the fact that the more income you make, the more money you make, you're going to live in a better community.
So obviously you're not going to have a need for guns.
Okay, that totally makes sense to me.
But what also makes sense to me is how long does it take to get an MBA?
What's the timeline of getting an MBA Kai?
Give me a timeline.
Six to eight years?
Is that about a good timeline?
You mean when you start college?
From the day you're 18 years old, you go to college to getting your MBA.
How long is that?
Yeah, six to eight years.
Six to eight years.
Is it fair to say that the people who are instructors in school that we call them professors, that they probably don't like guns?
100%.
Yes, and I know where you're going.
They tend to be more liberal.
Well, one out of 10 professors in school are conservative.
Nine out of 10 are liberal.
This is a statistic you can see from Washington Post.
This isn't something new.
So I don't know how many times a professor is going to say, I drove to school today and I had a gun on me and I left it in the car or it's just not going to happen.
So the people that are also most people, the people they're spending most time with, they're not pro-second amendment.
They're not saying, hey, let me go by.
You should buy a gun to protect yourself.
So I think it's also having to do with who you're around a lot to have a lot of influence on you not owning a gun.
I think there's a part of it that's also being influenced by the system that they have.
Because for it to be 41%, 42% to 31%, high school degree, you barely graduate high school, 41%, 42% own a gun.
NBA, it's 30%, 31%.
There is influence going on there.
Is there a correlation between education and guns just from a brain capacity?
That's the other side.
Brain capacity.
I'll give you the other side as well.
The other side as well is atheists, atheists, okay, or agnostics or those that don't believe in God, the more degrees they get, many of them that end up saying, I just don't believe in a God, they typically are the ones that are more, you know, they have had more degrees.
So what is that?
Is it because they've been able to figure it out for themselves and they're a little less naive?
Is it because their surroundings?
Is it because the universities and colleges don't pray anymore?
What is it?
So there's two ways you can look at this with influence.
But anyways, how about we go to the Breonna Taylor officer?
Yesterday, you heard about the riots.
You heard about the protesting.
There's a part of it you were dealing with last night, a little bit having to do with that in Dallas that you were telling me about earlier.
There's a lot of things going on right now.
I'll just kind of read some of the stuff here right now.
And then I want to turn it over to you guys to kind of tell me what your thoughts are with the Breonna Taylor officer chart.
So officer Brett Hankinson, who was fired in June, was indicted on three counts of wanton endangerment, which wanton endangerment means blindly shooting without knowing what you're shooting at.
You know, we'll get into that here in a second.
So three counts on wanton endangerment, the first degree, Jefferson County grand jury decided Wednesday.
Neither the grand jury nor the presiding judge elaborated on the charges.
Authorities found that the bullets fired by Hankinson traveled into the neighboring apartment while three residents were home, a male, a pregnant female, and a child.
Attorney General Daniel Cameron said at a press conference after the grand jury's announcement, Hankinson was not charging Taylor's death, but rather for endangering her neighbor's lives.
Now, obviously, that's going to create a frenzy right there with Hankinson not being charged for Taylor's death, rather for endangering her neighbor's lives.
A warrant was issued for his arrest, and he was booked and released on $15,000 bail, according to local reports.
Despite executing a no-knockout warrant, Cameron's office said that the officer did announce themselves before busting door, busting down the door of the apartment occupied by Taylor and her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker.
You know, I spent a lot of time watching a lot of videos on this topic.
I read a lot of articles.
New York Times is a great article of part one, part two.
I read Washington Post.
I read anything on the left, the right, the middle, anything I can.
But I want to hear your perspective.
You're in this world.
You've been following this story very closely.
What are your thoughts about what's happening right now with this case?
I think that the information, the communication has been grossly mishandled in this.
You know, we're saying, you know, we're seeing right now that they're saying, yeah, well, it was a no-knock warrant, but we did, you know, announce ourselves.
This is the first that we're hearing of it.
I even, I read an article at 6.15 this morning that said that there was some sort of independent witness that can corroborate this.
This is the first that we're hearing of any of it.
And when you don't communicate effectively with the general public, all you do is galvanize them.
All you do is let them think the worst.
And so now, you know, we have a situation where, you know, this is just one more just sort of, you know, notch in the belt of the general community not trusting law enforcement anymore.
Because you got, you know, it's like you people can't communicate with us.
You can't tell us the truth.
You can't give us information.
Now, I understand when you're doing an investigation, there's only so much, you know, that you can give out.
But I don't see how telling us two months ago that you announced yourself, even though it was a no-knock warrant and you have a witness that can corroborate that, how's that going to hurt anything?
Right?
I mean, that gives us a little bit of, you know, if that was the case, you know, that may have fundamentally changed things.
But because now you're not going to indict or you're not, I'm sorry, you're not going to move forward with charges.
And now you're releasing all this new information or this old information that's new to us.
I think that's super irresponsible on the part of the police department.
Wow.
I think that's super, super irresponsible.
And I think that, you know, that girl was innocent for all we know.
I mean, with all the information that we've been given, you know, she was innocent.
That was a huge tragedy.
And I think that something needs to be done about it.
I think she has probably the most unique voice on this story, being that she works side by side with law enforcement, right?
I mean, you're considering actually becoming.
I didn't pull guns out last night.
Right.
Okay.
Okay.
She's a gun instructor.
Yeah.
Female.
Yeah.
Has lived alone.
Yeah.
Has lived with the boyfriend.
Sure.
Owns guns.
Has dealt with police.
You have a very unique story on this.
Look, the word that comes to mind is optics.
Like what, like you hear this, you hear infamous information.
Like you said, you read, there's so much going on here.
Like last week, we covered the fact that her family was awarded $12 million, right?
By the city of Louisville.
Yep.
Okay.
People have been talking about Breonna Taylor.
As a settlement, you know.
Could that be viewed as a, you know, maybe that's not why?
For sure.
You know, then this word comes out, wanton endangerment.
Yeah.
Wanton endangerment.
What is wanton endangerment?
You have, you have a dead female.
The boyfriend was arrested.
He's since been released.
I googled what wanton endangerment is.
I never heard that.
It's substantial danger of death or injury to another person, an extreme indifference to the value of human life, reckless endangerment.
So that's what the officer Hankinson was charged with.
And that's another, but that's another, and I don't mean to interrupt you, but that's another lack of communication is like you come out and say, this is what this person's being charged with, but you don't explain what it is.
And so if you're in Texas, if you're watching the show in Texas, that's the equivalent to Penal Code 9.05 in Texas, which is reckless injury or death of an innocent third party.
And here's the craziest part of that, okay?
This wanton endangerment, the charges were not even because of Ms. Taylor's death, right?
It was because of the neighbors that were almost shot by the police officers.
So if you're on one side of this, you're like, what the hell is going on here?
So what comes to mind when I see all these riots and protests that are obviously people are outraged about this.
So Pat, what year did you come to America?
November 28, 1990.
November 20th, 99.
Two years before Rodney King.
Boom.
That's where I was going with that.
So you were here for a few years.
Rodney King.
If you guys don't remember Rodney King, he was a black man, pulled over the side of the road, and argument ensues with four police officers.
He was on PCP.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
Sure.
But basically, they end up beating the living crap out of this guy to for near-death experience.
Recorded.
Recorded.
This is pre-cell phone.
Pre-cell phone.
This is people.
I mean, can you imagine how many things like this happened before cell phone and camera time?
But they filmed these guys beating the crap out of him with batons, batons, batons.
Fast forward, what happens to these four police officers?
Nothing.
Nothing happens.
They walk off.
And what happens in L.A.?
You were there for two years.
What do you mean nothing happens?
So they didn't charge with anything.
Could they go back to their jobs?
I'm not sure what happened with them.
No, no, no, that's not where I'm going with this.
Okay, okay.
That's not where I'm going with this.
Point is they didn't get in deep trouble.
I'm sure a couple of them lost their jobs.
Riots, protesting.
That's where I'm going.
Okay.
Okay.
So the city of L.A., this is when Tupac was running the show in L.A.
He famously said, we'll burn this mother down.
Did he not?
And you were just living in L.A. for the first time.
So I'm thinking.
And I was on his side at that time.
You were on Tupac side at that time.
Of course, I'm on the Trump.
You were what?
Willing to burn L.A. down?
I was on the side against anything to do with cops, government, anything.
This is a 14-year-old, 13-year-old Pat that's just kind of like clueless about what's going on with life.
Pre-Republican, Pat.
Not Republican, independent.
Pre-independent, Pat.
The difference between me and you is I have voted on both sides.
Okay.
That's the difference between me and you.
You've only voted on one side.
That's not true.
For presidential, I've only voted for one side.
That's the biggest level.
But I've also voted for Republicans.
On what?
In the Senate, for governor?
The property mayor level, like with 60% of the units.
Yeah, of course.
My property manager was a Republican.
That's a friend of mine.
Is that kind of like that?
Mayor Francis Suarez, Republican in this city of Miami.
Can you order a box of cookies from the local cookie store for this buddy here?
Here's my point.
Tell your point.
We've been waiting for you.
You're famous.
We're going to get Pat a t-shirt that says, what's your point?
That's going to 100%.
We've got a good one as well.
Miami Heat.
Shout out to him for winning.
Shout out to the Patient Project.
We just cracked 2,000 viewers down.
Thank you.
2,000 people listening are wondering what is Adam Sausting's money.
Here's my point.
The last thing that we want to see in America are cities being burnt down.
The last thing we want to see are riots.
Can we all agree upon this?
Yes, we can.
We can.
Okay.
So sometimes you have to reverse engineer what you're doing.
So if you're the city of Louisville in this case, and we say, all right, guys, we are up to our eyeballs and some bullshit right here.
If we know if we come out with this wanton endangerment, no charges against the police, we know what's going to happen not only in Louisville, not only in Kentucky, all over America.
So when we make this decision, let's prepare for the worst case scenario.
I'm not sure they did that because number one, let's just back up.
Two police officers were shot yesterday.
I hope they are doing okay.
Like, that's the last thing that we want in America today.
But when you make this type of decision and you charge one officer with wanton endangerment, which is like a slap on the wrist, just expect the worst case scenario.
And that's the last thing we want to see here.
He probably should have been charged with wanton endangerment anyway, right?
On top of, I think, maybe one or two other things.
What do you think he should have been charged with?
Or any of these police officers should have been charged with?
I think at minimum, he should have been charged with involuntary manslaughter.
Okay.
Because you can't.
Now, here's the thing, though.
It's when we start critiquing the police, we have to remember that you are not the police.
You've never been the police.
Have you ever had to clear an apartment for squatters?
Have you ever had to serve a no-knock warrant or a Warren in general?
Two cats.
Have you ever, you know, huh?
At best, two cats because he's got cats.
Yeah, two cats.
Gotcha.
Okay.
Very intense.
Listen, cats can flip the switch on you real quick.
That's not my cat.
Let's not.
It's very well behaved.
Continue with the police, please, Joe.
You know, I have worked side by side with the police.
I have had to clear apartments.
I've had to, you know, I've kind of been taken by surprise a couple of times.
And I can see it from both sides.
But what I'm, but what I will say is that there's a stark difference.
There's a huge delta between justice and revenge.
Okay.
And there's, I think that what the protest community, not maybe not the protest community, but the riot community wants blood.
They want revenge.
And that's where, that's where it's coming from.
Sure.
And so that's.
You have to know that when you're making the decision.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And I work overnight in the exact same communities that are experiencing what's happening to Breonna Taylor.
And so we have to be, you know, I think policing personally is more about sympathy, empathy, and leadership than it is about authority.
And I think that that's what the policing, that's what the policing needs to get back to.
But you have to understand that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
And so when you put somebody in a position of authority like that with a gun, power to arrest, whether they've seen it or not.
So like as a personal protection officer, I can only arrest somebody if they commit a felony in my purview.
I can't go find somebody that because somebody said, okay, it has to happen in front of me.
And I think that when you give a lot of power to, you know, and a lot of authority to the police, and sometimes they need it, right?
Okay.
But in generalities, that gets in your head.
I know because I have to remind myself all the time when I go out and work in these communities that these people are my brothers and sisters.
They're in humanity.
Okay.
I have to remember that.
Civilians.
It's civilians.
No matter what lifestyle they lead, no matter where they live, no matter what they've done.
Okay.
I have to understand that the only thing that I get to judge is what they're doing right now.
So it's like when people say, well, George Floyd did that.
He, you know, he held a gun to a pregnant lady's belly and he was high on this and he did that.
That's not, that's not for you.
Okay.
Now, do, do we, do I think he needs to be glorified on the back of an NFL helmet?
Hell no.
But what he did before doesn't matter at that moment.
What matters is that I couldn't agree with you more on that topic.
But I will tell you a couple things here.
I got a couple different perspectives on this here.
So one is we got three people involved in this situation, right?
We got Breonna Taylor.
Okay.
Then you have Kenneth Walker, who is the boyfriend she's currently with.
Then you have Jamarcus Glover.
There's three ex-boyfriends.
So when you sit there and you think about her choice of picking men, she needs to read the right books on picking the right boyfriend because the history of the boyfriend.
So she started off 2020 saying, I have a new job, new career, new this.
She was expecting 2020 to be a big year.
She blocked her ex-boyfriend on Instagram, social, didn't want to deal with it.
And in the middle of the night at 12:30, when the cops came in saying we're entering, the current boyfriend thought it was the ex coming in.
So he shoots.
And as a cop, you know, you got your team.
You got to make sure you're protecting.
They didn't shoot first.
He fired first.
And then they shot.
Now, obviously, they shot Breonna Taylor, which is tragic for that to be taking place.
They're held accountable for that.
That's the $12 million lawsuit that's been paid.
And the Hankinson guy, he had issues in the past already.
It's not like this was his first term.
He couldn't control his temper.
And I put that onus on the department not being able to see when I see a switch of power.
Like I watch my guys, I run a sales company.
I watch which one of my guys becomes power hungry.
It's very dangerous when that happens because in a sales organization, what do you do?
You're the greatest.
You're so amazing.
Phenomenal talk.
You're so special.
I'm so proud of you.
It's so much of building people up that unfortunately, some people have no clue how to take that.
Some people take it and they start thinking they're what?
They're gun.
I'm the man.
I can do whatever I want.
There's no humility.
There's no humility.
Humility goes away.
You can't tell me what to do.
Do you realize who I am?
So cops go in intention.
Original intention is what?
I want to serve.
I want to make a difference.
And sometimes when all of a sudden you go to a club, I got a gun.
You kind of start seeing people looking at you differently.
You kind of go a little bit like this.
And if there is any sense of character issue on the inside with insecurities, you got a problem with that cop.
So I think the testing needs to change.
People need to have the one thing we constantly are trying to get better at is hiring better.
Every time I fire somebody after I hire them in four to eight weeks and it doesn't work out, I always take full responsibility.
Always because I'm like, why didn't you hire better?
You should have known this wasn't going to work out.
Why don't you ask those additional nine questions?
It's not the guy's fault.
It's your fault.
You should have hired better.
You can sit there and point at people as much as you want.
This cost me money.
That guy cost me $6,000.
This guy cost me, you should have never hired a guy in the first place.
You take the ownership.
I have to take the ownership because I'm the one to blame to not have asked the right questions because maybe this wasn't a cultural fit.
So when we're sitting there, we're going after hiring, after hiring, after hiring.
So number one, I think the department needs to get a better predictive analytics questions they ask to hire people that has to do with- PIs are important.
Yeah.
That has to do with ego and insecurities.
It's very, very difficult to give somebody who's very insecure a lot of power.
It's very dangerous.
So that's one part.
So this guy Hankinson, you know, he, first of all, he's got problems.
He's had problems.
His resume doesn't look good anyways.
So we can go one by one by one.
Then we look at Brianna Taylor.
If Breanna Taylor is my daughter, 26-year-old, okay, you got Brianna Taylor, EMT.
She's trying to be a nurse.
She's involved in a conversation about $14,000.
Let me go do this.
And she's given the car that she gets to the friend of Kenneth.
And what are you doing being involved in these types of situations?
So sometimes, I remember one night, I never forget this.
I come out of the military.
My friend picks me up.
And this is a friend that I was good friends with, regular guy, very good guy.
It was, you know, guy that I hung out with all the time.
And he picks me up in his car, and we go out to Hollywood.
We have a great time.
He says, let me tell you who I am now.
I said, who are you now?
He opens the trunk.
When he opens the trunk, the trunk is filled.
This is in 97.
It's filled, filled with pot.
He's got Vicodin pills.
He's got Coke, whatever you want to buy.
He's got it all.
Now, this is not what he did prior to me joining the military.
I come in.
He goes from being a 3.5, 4.0 GPA to now one of these guys, he's got all this stuff in the back of his truck, right?
So I'm sitting there and an event takes place that has to do with cops and all this other stuff.
I'm sitting there.
All I'm thinking about is if he gets arrested tonight, I'm in the military.
I'm going to military jail.
If I go to military prison, I can't get my securities license.
If I can't get my securities license, I can't work for Morgan Stanley Dinwood.
If I don't go to Morgan Stanley Dinwood, I don't get my Series 7.
If I don't get my Series 7, I'm probably not getting into insurance.
If I don't get into insurance, I don't know what I'm doing today.
I may be selling a gym membership.
Were you thinking your next five years?
I went right there in my mind.
I'm like, if I get arrested today, I go to military prison.
But who taught you how to think like that?
Well, that's mom and dad.
That's parenting.
Parenting, they told you that.
Think about your, my mom always said.
People in these communities don't have to.
I agree with you.
And again, going back to it, I agree with you.
But what I'm trying to say is, but if she has enough thinking to go to EMT, she's trying to be a nurse.
She's doing all this other stuff.
So look, like one night I got arrested in LA, okay?
And I got arrested because I was accused of being from MS-13.
And I'm not MS-13.
I'm Middle Eastern.
I'm not Mara Sabatrucha.
So I got mistaken for MS-13.
And they came, they arrested me.
It's me and my two buddies.
And one of my friends has a big scar going here that he fell from a park and he broke his.
And I'm like, dude, the guy's not.
And we're teasing him.
We're like, he's a gangster, but I'm not a gangster.
He's like, oh, freaking out.
That owned the pizza shop.
But you were arrested.
I got arrested.
Helicopters, all this stuff.
I'm on my Chevy S10, low-profile, gold, 145 spokes.
It's real nice system.
I barely turned 16 because my birthday's a month off from when I was born until we came to the States.
Yeah.
One month off.
Anyways, we got arrested.
So I'm like, what are we doing getting arrested today?
And I'm like, you know, the situation here is, okay, you bought a car from a guy that was an MS-13 guy.
You knew this guy was a leader.
You didn't get your car registered quickly.
You kind of drove with his registration.
Okay, I mean, this makes sense why this is taking place.
They understood they let me go was good to go.
What's the moral of the story?
Look, you're going to be guilty by association if you hang out with the wrong crowd.
So the messaging goes to a few different people because I sit there in every event that takes place, I want to take things away.
We made some comments about the Louisville deal the other day, $12 million.
And we kind of skimmed through it quickly.
And I got a long message from somebody that I respect and said, I think you need to go a little bit deeper on this topic because I think you guys kind of went through this topic like as if it was a business topic.
I said, fair enough.
I'll respect what you're saying because I respect who this individual is.
So number one, association.
What can our kids take away from this?
If your kids are listening to this right now, 20 years from now, what do you want them to take away from this?
Buddy, choose who you're hanging around with.
Every time I got in trouble, it was bad association.
Every time I was just in a bad crowd doing something stupid, we know when we're on a bad crowd.
And the onus is on us.
We can't say mom, dad.
Like you said something earlier that was so powerful.
When you were a teenager, a tragic event happened to you.
Your mom and dad couldn't have protected you that day.
You said there's only one person that could have protected you.
It's you.
And I didn't think about it that way.
And no wonder you want to have a license to carry because if somebody happens and the cops doesn't show for three minutes, you have a way to protect yourself.
The moment you become 18 years old, you have to make the decisions.
And some of the decisions you're going to make are going to be good or bad.
Now, let me go to the other part.
The other part with this situation that you look at is influencers, Hollywood, and celebrities.
Okay.
Let me kind of take this.
The day Jesse Smollett came out and he told this story, do you remember how everybody reacted that day, that second?
Everyone was feeling Juicy Smoolet.
Everyone was like, I totally believed him.
Even Trump.
Even Trump.
The day he came out, everybody defended who.
How could this happen?
No way.
Juicy Smoulet.
This is why racism, protests, America's a racist nation.
The moment he got caught, did those same celebrities retract their statements?
None of them.
Right.
Very little.
The only person that stayed quiet was who?
Chappelle.
Chappelle.
Because this just doesn't sound right.
You mean two Africans in the middle of the night are going to come in and go do this?
Two African guys in MAGA hats in Chicago.
He's a brilliant dude.
So you go to this and you say, where is this to playing with Hollywood and athletes and celebrities?
Do you really want to unite America?
Do you really?
Do you really want to unite?
Is it the smarter thing to tell players and Hollywood people to say, folks, I cannot believe what happened to Brianna, but we have to wait and get the information.
Why do you jump to conclusion?
So when you jump to conclusion, what do you do?
It's kind of like this.
It's like assuming.
Your girl, let's just say your girl is, you know, somebody sent something about your girl.
And you come to them and be like, pal, let me tell you what's going on.
I'm like, bro, how do you know?
I'm just telling you.
And you have no proof.
Nothing nowhere.
Like, it's not like you have pictures or anything or anything.
You have no proof.
So imagine I'm not next.
Dude, I told you she's a freaking bitch.
You know, I told you, you know, this is why.
So, when a guy is married, one of his divorced friends or single friends, a lot of single friends want to make you be single because you want to go party together.
Married people want to get people to be married, right?
Okay.
So, somebody goes, Oh my gosh, you shouldn't do this.
You should leave.
You should have gone.
No, rather, the answer should be what?
Bro, I don't know.
I haven't heard her sign.
So, there is an element of that taking place here, but we jump to conclusion very quickly.
Then, I'll give you the last one here, and then I'll turn it over to you guys to see what you think.
And we can change topics because we've been going on guns for a while, and probably some of the people are gunned out.
And we can go talk about business next.
Here's the last one: you know who gets a lot of credit and who I believe is going to make this the world a better place when it comes down to crime: Steve Jobs.
Steve Jobs, absolutely, Steve Jobs.
You know why, Steve Jobs?
Can I answer that?
Yes, cameras, cameras, cameras, respects, because citizen journalism, you know, somebody that now can go around recording videos.
Now, we can see eight minutes and 46 seconds, you had your knee on George Floyd.
What are you doing?
Now, we can see.
Not as long as it's not edited to what they want you to say.
If it's live, it's not edited.
If it's live, it's not edited, right?
There's also cameras that the cops wear.
I love accountability.
I love all of that stuff.
But at the same time, you know, when military folks came back from Vietnam and they were at hotels, people were spitting on them and all the stuff they were doing to military folks.
You have no idea what these guys went through.
You think these guys woke up in the morning saying, I want to go to war?
No, these guys just serving their military trying to bring freedom to you, but everybody jumped to conclusion because military, you know, the media would say these military guys are warmongers, all this other stuff.
We also don't know what good cops go through throughout the day.
You know, for every one bad story you tell here about what a cop did, then when's the last time you watched CNN or MSNBC or ABC or any of the when is actually the last time you saw them share stories of what cops do right?
When's the last time?
Yeah, I will say that you see stories.
I do see some stories.
I'm not saying it's personal.
Tell me one.
But it's not saying it's CNN or MSNBC.
Tell me one.
I'm going to tell you some stories.
On CNN and NBC.
That's specifically who I'm asking for you.
You do see stories of during the protest.
This is when after George Floyd, I'll give you a story in Fort Lauderdale.
There was an argument over a cop.
He pushed some guy.
On social.
Again, I don't know where this was exactly, but you do see cops coming up social because of Steve Jobs.
Okay.
On social.
There's a big difference.
You do see stories of cops.
I shared a video with a guy on my Instagram profile.
This guy's like, what are you doing?
Why are you coming out here?
You did that.
I did that.
I'm 28.
You're 41.
What are you doing?
Now, my five-year-old son's going to do this one day.
Why are we doing this to ourselves?
And the guy's crying saying this to a group of people.
I share this.
Media's not going to share that kind of stuff.
Do you ever watch not CNN, but CNN headline news with Robin Mead?
Do you know who that is?
Okay, so there's two CNNs.
There's CNN, the main channel, and then kind of like a whole news.
Just the fact that no one knows who Robin is.
Robin Meade is.
The way she's huge.
I'm not saying she's huge or she's not huge.
What she said, uh-uh.
Kai, pull up Robin Mead.
If I say right now, do you know who Rachel Maddow is?
What would you say?
I do.
Do you know who Anderson Cooper is?
Of course.
Do you know who Morning Joe is?
Robin Mead is a very famous person.
I guarantee you this.
Do you know who?
She says, good morning, Sunshine.
Every morning, she's famous.
She's beautiful.
She has her own show on CNN, headline news.
All she does is give good news of the day.
And all I'm saying is there are good news stories out there.
So do you tell me that people, the main anchors on CNN and MSNBC are reporting good things cops are doing?
This lady right here.
Yeah, you have one example.
Unfortunately, she's not the main face of this.
I'm wondering if the media isn't what we need to defund.
You know what I mean?
I'm wondering if you're not.
Well, the media is divisive.
I have a good friend named Maj who runs an organization called Black Guns Matter.
And his kind of his shtick is, you know, media is the most effective devil in America.
I got you.
See?
So it's, you know, and to your point, you know, about that is, you know, that that's a huge part of what's, you know, galvanizing, you know, these riots.
And I always tell my students, if you see a video on social media, don't comment on it.
Wait four days.
Wait, three news cycles.
Yeah.
Something else is going to come out that could potentially make you think differently.
That's a basic thing that I don't think we're doing enough of, where we're not waiting to see what is really taking place.
We're just jumping to conclusion and just kind of going out there.
And these influencers are doing more of it.
And they don't realize that their fans are young kids.
Fans of sports are how old?
They're not older people.
Fans of athletes are younger people.
Like one day I want to be like this guy.
One day I want to be like that guy.
You're not uniting America.
You're dividing America.
And it's disappointing to see that.
They're going to do what you do because they equate what you're doing with success.
They're actually not going to do what you do because what you do, the athlete is going to go to their $7 million home.
What the other person is doing is going to their one-bedroom apartment, living with four people, and they're going to go do what you're not willing to do.
Meaning, the athlete is going to tell them go out there and protest, but the athlete's not going out there protesting.
The athlete's putting the responsibility on the 18-year-old kid, not thinking that's someone's child.
And they don't think about the severity of what could happen to someone's kid.
This kid grew up in a family.
I was living with my mother.
My mom was a single mother raising us, and I saw my dad twice a month.
I didn't have a day-to-day father figure.
My mom couldn't control me.
At 14 years old, my mom hit me one time, and I was looking.
I said, mom, what are you doing?
She hit me one time, and she held her arm.
I said, you got to stop hitting, man.
You realize it doesn't hurt anymore.
Like, you got to stop.
And that was the last time she hit me.
I was 6'1 at 14 years old.
What are you going to tell me to do?
I'm like, dude, just stop.
So from that moment, you couldn't control this kid.
What if one of my people I looked up to, a Jordan, said, you better go out there and do this.
This is not fair.
I probably would have been capable of doing something stupid.
And I wouldn't have been able to do what I've done all my life now.
You know, you look at a story, you think, oh my gosh, this person was destined.
Bullshit.
Bullshit.
Sometimes somebody else could have influenced that person to ruin their lives.
These athletes and Hollywood celebrities, I love sports more than words can describe.
I'm a stat guy.
I love baseball.
I love football.
I love basketball.
I love anything to do with competition.
But they got to stop dividing.
They're not doing a lot of things.
That was a really powerful point.
And I don't think I've ever thought of it that way.
Yeah, I don't know.
Let me say one thing to build upon your story about who you were hanging out with in L.A. and when you got arrested.
And this is something that I gravitate to and I tell people all the time.
Your network is your net worth, right?
Show me the five people you're hanging out with the most.
I'll show you your future.
And you had to make a realization that whoever you were hanging out with when you were 14 or 16 were probably not the people they're going to get you to the next level.
Would you agree?
100%.
Okay.
So your network at that time was not the equivalent of where your net worth could have been.
But I went down the wrong path.
I agree with you.
And I tell you, there was a bit of luck.
It's very easy for us to kind of tooth our own horn and say, oh, let me tell you it's because of this.
No, like, I got kids now, man.
I'm not like what she said.
I totally agree with her.
Today's my son's birthday.
It's Dylan's birthday.
Dilly's birthday.
By the way, have you never met Dilly?
No, I have not.
Total freaking stuff.
Let me tell you.
I love this kid.
And, you know, I just wake him up.
I went to the bottom of the game.
His birthday, Dilly.
Dylan is a specialist.
I'm going to give you a dapped too.
You know, Dylan's an athlete.
He's got calves bigger than his daddy's.
He's got the perfect bubble butt of Bo Jackson.
And he's just, he's just, you know, such a, every kid has got a different kind of a soul about themselves.
You said I'm laying this kid down and I'm playing with his hair and I'm just looking at him.
He's knocked out.
And I'm just like, listen, you know, God, I so desperately need you to watch over my kids because I'm not around all the time.
There's only so much I can do as their dad.
I'd love to protect them 24-7.
I can't do it.
You need someone to watch over them.
We have to understand that everybody, but Brianna is someone's daughter, man.
This is someone's daughter.
This is someone's family.
This is someone's blood.
You know, blood is painful when something happens to them.
And there comes a time that you either have to count on the man upstairs to protect your kids, you have to count on the values and principles you pass to the kids, or you have to count on the fact that the people they look up to set a good example that they're worth modeling.
You have to be relying on that.
Anyways, let's shift.
Well, and if you're a God-fearing person, you need to understand the Christian principles of self-defense.
But that might be for another podcast.
I'm writing a book about it, though.
All right.
Wow.
There you go.
Do you have a title of the book yet?
The Christian Principles of Self-Defense.
Wow, there we go.
Anyway, shout out to Dylan Bett David turning Dylan's Dylan is seven today, man.
He's seven today.
Comment happy birthday to Dylan Bett David, the son of a kid.
Dilly boy, Dilly boy.
Thank you, our friends.
Like and give a thumbs up to our audience.
We just cracked 2.2.
I love it.
Dylan's birthday.
He's the best.
So let's talk about something a little more calm and a little bit more light.
Mike Tyson's going to vote.
Who's he going to vote for?
Is he going to vote for Joe Jorgensen?
Is that who he's going to vote for?
Oh, he's going to vote for someone named Joe.
You think so?
Yeah, yeah.
I used to hang out with Donald Trump back in the day.
We used to go and pick up ladies.
And, you know, he never treated me fairly.
So I'm going with Joe Biden.
You think that's going to happen?
No, I can see him voting for Trump.
Tell me why.
I mean, Mike Dyson's been punched in the face a couple of 82 times.
I don't know where his mind's at right now, so he's going to go a little crazy.
Who knows?
Let's get our audience crazy.
Who do you think he's voting for?
I think he's going to write in the tiger on the ballot.
You think so?
Yeah, I think he's going to vote for the tiger.
Wow.
From Hangover?
I like that.
I think he's going to bring in a whole new candidate.
By the way, I love the way that Mike Tyson has reinvented himself.
He could have gone the way of the typical washed-up, just like angry, beat-up boxer.
Yeah.
But he's, you know, become more lighthearted, played with a lot of people.
He has a pretty incredible sense of humor about himself now.
Within a split second, he can harm anybody in a room.
I mean, there's only a couple people in the world that can probably take this guy.
Okay.
You know, if he really wanted to in a room, he can do whatever he wants to do.
But, you know, he's trying to be a good dad.
He makes an effort.
He called that Mayweather.
He says, you think you're tough?
He says, tell me if you walk your kids, take your kids to school.
Tell me what you're doing because this is what I do.
Tyson's got his own identity right now, and I like it.
And I think, knowing who he is, the underdog guy, I think he's probably going to lean towards voting for Trump.
Well, and if nobody that doesn't like you can beat you up, then you kind of have the freedom to have whatever kind of sense of humor you have.
But he is fighting again against one of the greatest boxers.
I was on Roy Jones Jr.
Yeah.
Because you see, Kyle, can we Google when that fight is?
He's ridiculous.
Tyson Roy Jones Jr.
By the way, audience, who you got in this fight?
Mike Tyson versus Roy Jones Jr.
Mike Tyson, obviously one of the greatest heavyweights of all time.
Roy Jones Jr., one of the greatest middleweights of all time.
I'll make sure you got PPD.
That's my prediction.
If it ends in the first two rounds, it's Tyson.
If it goes past two rounds, it's Roy Jones.
Just stamina.
Simple.
I don't know.
Speed versus the best.
I don't know.
I saw that.
I watched his training videos.
I'm telling you, Tyson's man.
He looks good.
He looks good.
There's no fight.
No question about it.
He looks good.
Two legends are here to square off an exhibition over Calvary over Thanksgiving weekend.
Wow.
Are we going?
Where's it going to be?
I don't know.
Are we going to check it out?
I think we should go.
Where's it going to be?
We got mics.
By the way, apparently they're going to be fighting with social distancing.
So it's going to be that 36 feet apart.
Well, you got UFC people fighting these days.
So I think these guys are going to do it.
We'll see what's going to happen with that.
So who are you going with?
I'm telling you.
Make a prediction, though, right now.
You can't just say, well, I think this one is.
I think Tyson's going to take it in the first two rounds.
You think it's just going to knock him out?
Yeah.
I think he's going to go in for the kill.
You got to realize the weight difference.
I mean, he's heavyweight.
I picked Mike Tyson the first two rounds.
I got Roy Jones Jr.
We're going to have a big one.
But what round?
I think he's going to win.
Okay, so he's trying to.
He says fans won't be allowed in California.
Is there really a market for?
Dude, bring it to Texas.
Yes, there is a market for you.
Tyson, Roy Jones Jr.
So you got Tyson.
You got Tyson.
You got Roy Jones.
I got Roy Jones Jr.
Can you predict a round?
I think it's going to, I think, like you said, I think Tyson's going to get tired after three, four rounds.
Roy Jones Jr.
I'm going to say Tyson Jr.
There's also an age difference.
I feel like Roy Jones Jr. is a few years younger.
Kyle, you want to give me an answer on that?
But not by far, though.
It's by five, six years.
Five, six years is a big deal.
You're fighting when you're 50.
I don't know.
Tyson's hungry.
He's hungry.
Roy Jones Jr., 50 years.
Another wave of fame, I think.
And he's not a little bit.
Press it.
There you go.
55.
How old is he?
Roy Jones is 51.
Yeah, Roy Jones is 51.
Tyson is 55.
So three years different.
Three years apart.
Guys, not forget how good Roy Jones Jr. There was a time that he was the best fighter on it.
He was better than Floyd Mario.
No question about it.
At his prime.
No question about it.
Let's talk a business story.
Let's talk a business story.
I'm trying to see which business story I want to get into here.
We've been talking the gun business.
Oh, we've been talking a lot of gun business.
Let's pick a business story.
Sherry, are you having fun?
Oh, man.
Yeah.
How about Tesla coming out with their $25,000 car?
So Tesla just announced, Elon Musk says Tesla will offer an affordable driverless car within three years for $25,000.
Announced during battery car meeting, 520-mile range on the car.
The new battery uses large sales with a simplified design and lower-cost materials that can be manufactured faster and 56% cheaper than the current technology.
What do you think about this Elon Musk new car?
$25,000 driveless car within three years.
Is he going to deliver within three years?
No.
Okay, go ahead.
Ladies first, go ahead.
No.
You're just saying no.
He's not doing it.
No, I don't think it's going to happen.
I mean, he's, you know, I mean, I'm an Elon fan.
I mean, I think he's a good-friend of the show.
We talk to Elon all the time.
We talk about him every episode.
I think the guy's brilliant, but I mean, you know, if he keeps smoking weed with Joe Rogan, he might not get this done on time.
I think that'll inspire him to get it done way sooner.
You're kidding me?
So then he's got to be back, and they got to smoke.
I think, say it again, Pat.
They got to go back for part two.
Yeah, I think so.
I think, look, what's happening in California these days?
What do we talk about with Governor Newsom?
That he has basically delivered an executive order banning all new car sales that are gas powered by 2035.
So in the next 15 years, no more new car sales in California will have, will run on gasoline.
That's even more wishful thinking.
Okay.
All right.
I'm not saying that's going to happen or it's not going to happen, but that's the executive order that Gavin Newsom passed down.
So what does that just go down this list?
That has an executive order?
Executive order.
It's happening.
California.
Kooky Place.
Kooky Place.
We just came back from California.
It's a kooky place.
So what do you think about it?
You're going to see it about it.
I mean, look, what are we seeing?
Governor Newsom.
So who does that help?
What is the average cost of a Tesla right now?
70, 80, 90 grand?
I don't think that's like 50 to 60K.
No, more than that.
It's 50 to 60.
Is it?
Say it's 60K.
Okay, so all he has to do is make more and make them cheaper, right?
I mean, he's working on a supercar right now that's going to go 0 to 60 in less than two seconds.
I mean, less than two seconds, and it's going to go 200-plus miles an hour.
But that's a completely different story on what he's building.
But who does this favor what Governor Newsom is doing?
It favors the electronic car market.
I actually agree with you.
Kai, you were saying something.
No, the way he's going at it is he's just making cheaper batteries.
He's going back to the natural materials and looking, okay, this is what's expensive.
This is why electric cars are more expensive.
And then they're trying to find new ways to create new batteries that are cheaper that takes down the price.
And I think with innovation, and especially now with Gavin Newsom's order and where you're having other companies also kind of lining up, that that is the way it's going.
And if we look at the innovation of computers and how it's grown over time, I mean, I think there's no doubt that eventually we'll get to that point with cars too.
There we go.
That's Kai, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's not forget there's the competitor to Tesla that we don't hear that much about, this Nikola, which is Tesla's first name, ironically.
Yeah, this Nikola.
And they partnered up with, was it GM, Kai?
Yes.
They partnered with GM, and they're going to be making their own.
So I think the E, the electronic car, the Teslas, the Nikolas, that's the wave of the future.
Whether it happens in the next three years, five years, 10 years, we're on that path.
I have so many questions.
I mean, how long do these batteries last?
How do you dispose of them?
When do they need to be replaced?
Because we went through a very similar situation with plastics.
And if you've watched the documentary on plastics, plastics was the wave of the future.
It was supposed to save us and be reusable and all this stuff.
And now we have tons and tons of trash that's not biodegradable.
I have questions about this.
I want to know about the impact to the environment in the future.
And I don't think that's been addressed.
And I want to also know, how can a governor put down an executive order like that?
I mean, it could potentially just be overturned when the next governor's elected.
Touche.
We'll see.
We'll see what's going to happen.
I mean, I can tell you if Newsom came out with that by 2035, if there was a way for him to try to save Elon from leaving California, that may have not been a bad strategy, by the way.
If it was a way for him to get Elon Musk to say, okay, you're making this a law, I'll stay over here.
But again, Tesla is an international product.
I don't think he's going to sit there and just the laws of California is going to save him.
Do you think that this is something that he could do to sway Elon to stay in California?
I just don't see Elon's personality as a guy that belongs in California.
I see Elon as a Texas guy.
I see Elon as a Florida guy.
I see Elon as a Tennessee guy.
I don't see Elon as a Texas guy.
He's independent.
As a California guy.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's very independent.
He's got his way.
He's been blue pill and red pill in California for a long time.
Yes, he has been.
He has been.
Evan Newsom.
What about him?
He was the U-Haul salesperson of the month, wasn't he?
He was recently.
So he's doing great.
He's very impressive.
He's doing great.
That's Pat gave him that away.
By the way, Mayor Garcetti just announced.
Two dozen cities are announcing their own UBI.
$500 a month they want to pay to the low-income families in L.A. Los Angeles, the country's second largest city.
Mayor Garcetti has pledged to launch a program that includes a mix of public and private money.
He hinted the program could also help immigrants living in the country illegally who have been written out of federal legislation.
In Los Angeles, the county said, okay, so you wrote the same thing twice and copy-paste.
Okay, got that.
So you got $500 a month, $500 a month that he wants to pay out as his own form of UBI.
Two dozen cities are agreeing to this.
Who does this help?
Who does this hurt?
Who should care?
Who shouldn't care?
The taxpayer should definitely care.
And I think we, didn't we just do this experiment with unemployment during COVID and stimulus checks?
Didn't we just do this experiment and how many people didn't want to go back to work because they made too much money on unemployment?
Two-thirds of people were getting paid more to sit at home than they were when working.
I mean, and then it's companies, I think maybe a lot like yours that suffer.
People don't want to come back to work, you know, and it's, you know, you're going to go where the money is.
To me, that seems very counterproductive.
And what is stimulating this decision?
Like, what is, you know, who is he we already have a myriad of programs to help low-income people.
I don't understand why we need to continue to add on top of that.
And I'm not saying that, you know, I'm not saying that, you know, poor people are lazy.
That's not where I'm getting from.
And that's not what I'm getting at.
You know, circumstances happen.
I'm just wondering why these current programs that we have don't seem to be filling the void.
Yeah, you know, I'm not.
So how many other cities other than LA have 25 cities?
Patterson, New Jersey has also pledged to follow a similar program.
You're talking about Oakland, Mount Vernon, some places in New York, Tacoma, Washington, Patterson, Jersey, Long Beach, some other areas.
Okay, let's play a little game real quick on where we are on UBI, universal basic income.
I'm like 70-30, meaning I'm 70% no, 30%.
Okay, I see some benefits with this.
All right, let's list the pros and cons, and I'd love to get your responses.
So what are the cons, right?
The cons are obviously it encourages laziness, encourages people not to go back to work, disincentivizes work.
Illegals, maybe potential criminals, just straight up losers would be getting money to sit at home.
And obviously, taxpayers, socialism, big government.
So there's a lot of bad on UBI.
What's the good?
What's the good?
So obviously people can avoid slipping into poverty, homelessness.
Some people could potentially have that money to pay their bills, maybe take more risks, start more businesses.
That's an opportunity right there.
And then obviously the big thing that Andrew Yang talks about is automation and robots are going to be coming for your jobs in the next 10, 20, 30, 40 years.
So there's pros and cons to this.
So I'm 70, 30 against UBI, but I'm not 100% against UBI.
What say you?
To me, a UBI screams, I can't compete in the world.
It screams, it's not encouraging people to go into the trades, which is so necessary right now.
Yeah, so we're doing this whole, you know, I think when I was in high school and during my college years, it was like, you got to go to college or you're a loser.
Okay.
And then the trades suffered for it.
Right.
So, you know, welders and gunsmithing and finding a good mechanic.
God help us.
Can we find a good mechanic?
You know what I mean?
And so all that stuff suffered.
And now the trades are making a comeback.
Totally agree.
And I think that if we say, you know, we're going to give out this universal basic income, it's really just proving that all of your programs that you've done before this have failed.
Because they're out there, okay?
And you can take advantage of them.
So why do we need this additional one?
We're disincentivizing people to either start businesses.
You know, there's micro loan programs and loan programs for people who want to start businesses.
And then, you know, we're not encouraging anybody to think for themselves, do for themselves, or go into the much needed trades.
I'm in the trades.
I'm in gunsmiths.
Where are you on the are you 100%, 80, 90, 50, 50?
Like, where are you on the?
I'm 0% because we already have programs in place.
Are you also 0%?
Oh, let me tell you what I love about that.
I love that Garcett announced this $500 to LA.
You have no idea how much I love it.
Ask me why I love it.
Pat, Pat, let me tell you why I love it.
I want to ask you.
No, I want to ask you.
Pat, why do you love it?
Let me tell you why I love it, Jay.
I'm going to tell you why I love it, Jay.
And it's going to be a different perspective.
But I love the stupidity of what L.A. is about to do.
Do it.
Go for it.
Give people free money.
Here's what it's going to do.
Look, you know, what I'm all about is the following.
Okay.
If you, if you, they say a very simple line says, if you don't take care of your people, somebody else will, right?
It's that simple.
Now, you know, you're going to lose certain people culturally.
They fit in a different culture, et cetera, et cetera.
But if you don't take care of your people, somebody else will.
If you don't take care of your woman, somebody else will.
If you don't take care of your man, someone else will.
There's always going to be somebody else that's willing to take care of what you currently have.
It's that simple, right?
Okay.
You know, LA has a choice to offer this UBI program to the people that they want.
Who's it going to attract?
So imagine if you are in a different county and your county doesn't give you $500, okay?
Say I am the mayor of a complete different city.
I'm a mayor of a complete different county, different city that I'm running it.
And LA announces they're giving $500.
Guess who's leaving my city?
I'm in love.
I'm like, Mayor Garcetti, thank you.
Thank you.
Because everybody that wants free money now moving to your county, thank you for cleaning out my county.
I'm all with it.
Because I'm not going to lose my business owners to your county.
Oh, no.
I'm going to lose the people that want free money to your county.
I appreciate you.
Phenomenal job.
Thank you so much for doing this.
A guy came out a couple of years ago.
His story went viral.
He said, I don't believe I need to make more than $70,000 your income.
Guy who owns this company.
You know what the story is.
Oh, yeah, of course.
So he ends up giving everybody a salary.
Those who are making $10 an hour, he takes them up to what?
$70,000.
And those that were making six figures, he takes them down to what?
$70,000.
He was making a million dollar income.
Guess what he does?
Takes himself down to $70,000.
Do you kind of get this?
So people making less than $70,000.
They're saying what?
That's a place to be.
Man, I'm loving this kind of a place, right?
I want to go work for somebody that's automatically going to give me $70,000 year income.
You know how long that beautiful story that was shared by the media lasted?
Less than two years.
You know why?
It's not sustainable.
It's not sustainable in companies.
It's not sustainable in families.
It's not sustainable in cities.
But I love, if I am a county next to LA, I am saying, please do it.
I'm begging you do it.
Let's clean the house of my street.
I will give you all the people that are low income.
Let them come to your city.
It's up to you.
You know, you know how this whole thing conversation goes about taxes.
We're sitting at Rafi's place.
We're having a friendly.
Best restaurant.
Guy, real quick, pull up Dan Price Gravity.
That's the guy.
Okay.
70 grand.
So we're sitting at Rafi's place.
And at Rafi's place, the conversation comes up about taxes.
And our good friend, Steve.
Oh, there you go.
Dan Price, an American entrepreneur.
He's a CEO of an online credit processing company, Gravity Payments, which he started while a student in Seattle, Pacific University.
He gained recognition after he raised his company's minimum wage to $70,000 and he slashed his wage to $1.1 million.
You got to read the whole story.
Minimum wage, $70K.
I don't think he lowered.
Minimum wage, $70K.
Minimum wage, $70K.
Anyway.
Catastrophic when you do something like that.
Catastrophic when you do something like that.
Let's talk more about Rafi's place and your friend, Steve.
So we guys debate over taxes.
We sit down and we start talking about taxes.
Shout out to Steve if he's listening.
Yeah, Steve, I'm not going to say who said what, but one of the guys, if he wants to come and defend it here, it's a whole different conversation.
One of the guys says, I think we need to raise the taxes on rich people.
I said, oh, really?
He said, yes.
I said, what's considered rich?
He says, you know, these people that make $100 million a year.
I said, wait, Who's rich?
The people that make $100 million.
I said, I want you to look at that Indian couple right behind us.
Remember that Indian couple sitting right behind me?
I said, What do you think they make?
Good-looking couple.
I said, What do you think they make?
And he says, I don't know.
I said, What do you think the average person here makes?
I said, What'd you make last year?
Watch out, your parents are about to drop.
I said, What'd you make last year?
He gives the number.
I said, How many people in this room made your kind of money?
I said, If I told everybody in this room right now that you made that kind of money, what would they consider you rich?
I said, They think you need to be taxed a lot.
So, who are you to determine who needs to be taxed?
I think there's got to be a tax for talented people that don't use their talents.
For me, it's the other way around.
I'm being dead serious with you.
If you're talented and you are not using your talent and you're sitting around, I think we need to tax you the highest, not the other way around.
Because if a person is busting their butt, going out there creating jobs, using their talents to create an economy for other people, that person needs to pay less taxes.
If the person that's not using their talents, that person needs to be taxed more.
I mean, isn't there a story about it with the guy with five talents, three talents, one talent, all this other stuff?
You got to put your talents to use.
I think too many times we, you know, we like to demonize these guys that are going out and creating economy and jobs, and not the other way around, the people that don't want to use their talents.
I know how many people you know, Adam, how many people you know that are more talented than you that are broke?
Oh, there's a lot.
Why?
Why are they broke and they're so talented?
I don't know.
They can't get it together.
I'll give you my favorite quote, literally, of all time.
Let's hear it.
So, have you ever seen the movie The Bronx Tale?
Of course.
Okay, Chasm.
Mickey Mano, yes.
Yeah, Mickey Mano.
Robert De Niro, yes.
Okay, Mickey Mano, Robert Niro's a bunch of people.
When's the last time Mickey Mano paid your bills?
Exactly.
Yeah.
My favorite quote, literally of all time.
He says, The saddest thing in life is wasted talent.
I remember I wrote that quote down because there was a time in my life where I remember saying, I'm so talented.
It is talented.
I can do whatever I want to do.
I can literally become who I want to become, but I'm wasting my time just doing nonsense, partying in South Beach.
And I said, the saddest thing in life is wasted talent.
I heard that.
I wrote that down.
I wrote that down and I read that every it's I still have a plaque in my room with that saying.
So I agree.
You know what I would do?
If I was a governor or small state, just to do a project, eight years, if I'm a governor of small state, I'd flip taxes.
I'd flip it.
I'd make it progressive, but the other way around.
The less you make, the more you get.
The less you make, the more you pay taxes.
Wow, mind blown.
The less you make, the more taxes you pay, the more you make, the less tax you pay.
Wow, that's going to get people.
That's capitalism.
People are going to be hustling.
Guess what that does?
Guess what that does?
You know what it does?
It's going to motivate people.
The people on the bottom are going to say, screw this guy.
I don't like this guy.
No problem.
Go to LA.
I think it's just going to move.
Garcity would love you.
But the other people are getting like, shoot, let me just.
I come to your state.
You come to my state.
The more jobs you create, the less tax.
Listen, compensation structures are tax companies.
If you think about our tax plan, it's a comp plan.
That's all it is.
At a sales company, their comp plan is a tax plan.
And I don't know a single company that grows in sales where they charge the people that make more money and they pay them less commission.
Let me get this straight.
So if I come to a company and I'm doing sales, and the more value and revenues I bring to the money, don't I make more commission instead of less commission?
What sales organization that grows says the more money you make, we pay you less commission?
Have you ever heard of an organization?
But taxes do.
And all of these Americans have bought into this progressive tax system for what?
Wow.
Who said this?
Because somebody said the more money you make, the more money you should pay.
No, it should be the other way around.
I say if you are able to create 50 jobs, if I'm running a city and I tell you you create 50 jobs and average salary of $50,000 your income, okay?
Does that help my city out?
Yeah, of course.
Does it help your city out?
How hard is it to create 50 jobs for a city?
Not well, wait a minute.
It's not easy.
If it's easy, not easy.
Not easy.
It's very hard.
Yes.
I don't want you to pay taxes.
You'll have the lowest level of taxes you pay.
You create 50 jobs in my city?
Are you kidding me?
You're a hero.
No, it's the other way around.
You created 50 jobs and you're making money off of these people and you made $2.2 million last year.
Shame on you, you rich man.
What do you mean, shame on you?
It's the other way around.
You have this degree.
You are so smart.
You are so well read.
You know about philosophy.
You've read all the books in the world.
And you are unemployed for nine straight months and you're blaming society for it?
No, you're going to be taxed at the highest level.
Wow.
You don't like the city?
Go to a different city.
Taxing wasted talent.
I've never heard that in my life.
Let me put it in some intense stuff.
But let me put it to you this way.
You know what are the chances of somebody getting elected on that campaign?
Never.
Zero.
Yeah.
Yeah, you ain't going to get elected on something like this.
But do you know how on point that message is?
My mind is so blown right now.
Frickin' boom.
My mind is blue.
Guys, give a thumbs up if you like Pat's point on that.
That was something.
It'll never happen.
I just want you to know this.
Give a thumbs up.
Not in a time where all these rich people are demonized and everybody else who's unemployed, not getting a job, is a hero of America today.
I can't understand that.
Now, what's the percentage?
I heard this one time, but I can't remember it.
How much of basically the total tax burden does the top 1% carry?
Don't they pay like almost half of the actual nation's taxes?
Yes, most of it.
Of course they do.
Of course they do.
Kai, pull that up.
But look, here's what I'm all about, man.
This is what I'm all about.
For me, you know, when I see somebody, like when you and I spoke, perfect example.
This is my wiring.
I can't help myself.
I'm wired like this.
When you and I spoke the first time, how many years ago was this?
Eight years ago, nine years ago?
2012.
So I see Adam.
Okay.
If you ever go into, you should go to an event with Adam.
Okay.
When you go in an event with Adam, if you go to the acting school, you know, with Adam, within five minutes, Adam knows everybody.
I was like, hey, what's up?
I don't know Adam, but Adam approached me.
I didn't approach Adam.
I'm at the gym doing my regular back workout.
I'm doing.
Adam starts coming.
What's this?
What's up, man?
Your muscles.
What do you do?
Tell me.
And then every time Adam's talking, everywhere I go, everybody knows Adam.
How the hell does everybody know Adam?
How long have you been the insurance?
Everyone.
So I'm like, dude, listen.
I pulled him aside one day.
I said, you are so flippant, talented.
You need to be on TV.
You need to be on camera.
You're a camera guy.
He says, what do you mean?
I said, you don't need to write.
You don't need to start a podcast.
You're handsome.
You're good looking.
You got a good voice.
You got a good sense of humor.
You need to be on TV.
He starts doing videos.
Okay.
This is a talented guy.
I mean, he's got a big upside.
I'm like, this guy's got to do something with this talent.
Now, him, Adam, is a cash millionaire now.
You weren't 10 years ago.
No.
You're now a cash millionaire.
You're a saver.
You're very responsible.
Saver and you take care of two cats you got.
A little weird, but it is what it is.
Okay.
So now watch this.
I watch Jara.
Yeah.
When I left watching Jara, I couldn't help myself.
I'm like, this is a talented human being.
Oh my gosh.
Her storytelling, her sense of humor.
I could not believe.
I'm sitting there.
I would have normally checked my phone a hundred times, listened to class.
I didn't even check my phone for four hours.
I'm just glued.
That's the amazing thing.
When she's telling her story.
I walked on and I said, dude, we got to get her on the podcast.
Now, here's the thing with Jara.
Jara's not an online personality.
Jira's not an influencer, meaning she's not like she has her own YouTube channel, she has her own podcast.
After this, I would love to see Jara be all over the place because I think Jara's a talented person.
Everything I see, I see when I saw Sam the first time he took care of me, three years ago, I don't know what the time was, okay, two and a half years ago, wherever it was.
I'm like, I feel safer on Sam.
Sam makes you feel safe.
And then I saw how Sam took charge of everything.
Sam wasn't working for me two and a half years.
He goes, Is there anything I can get you?
Are you okay?
Are these people bothering you?
Do I need you to do that?
I'm like, dude, I don't pay you.
Why are you doing this?
Then I told him what I said.
I said, listen, if you ever want to run, you got a job with me.
You tell me when you want to do it.
And then he came.
He contacted.
We figured something out.
He came out here to Dallas.
But I saw the talent of him leading people.
First time I sat down with Kai, you know, yesterday you did the interview with what's the guy's name you interviewed yesterday?
Daryl Davis.
Daryl Davis.
I can't wait.
Daryl Davis is supposed to do the interview.
And last minute, the only person I've ever given an interview for in my career is who?
To you.
I said, Adam, you're going to do this interview.
I'm not going to do the interview.
It's on you.
So Adam does the interview yesterday, crushes it.
An hour and a half interview ends up being six hours.
It's a six-hour interview.
That's the only problem.
We ran out of tape.
All our cameras are done.
We can use old school.
Darry Davis and I got it.
You know, there's old school tape.
All the tape guys.
You know who Daryl Davis is?
KKK guy that converts people.
Black guy that converts people together.
They made a movie about it.
Amazing story.
But you know what happened at 11 o'clock?
I get a text at 11 o'clock.
You know who it's from?
Kai.
What does Kai say?
Pat, don't worry.
He's going to be ready.
We're going home right now.
He's prepared for it tomorrow.
He's going to do fine.
I didn't tell Kai to do that.
Kai chose to do that.
See, it's so attractive when people use their talents.
It's the most unattractive thing for me.
I cannot tell you how unattractive it is when somebody doesn't use their talents.
It's so unattractive.
And we have become the nation that wants to plot victims.
We have become the nation that wants to plot everything that happens.
I was having anxiety.
I have a mental issue.
I'm in depression.
First of all, half the time we're depressed and we have mental issues.
Life is freaking complicated.
Marriage is annoying half the time.
Raising kids, how many people want their kids shitting on them all the time?
How many more diapers do you want me to change?
How many times does a kid have to pee on me?
Changing the diapers.
I'm checking the phone.
All of a sudden, I'm sensing my cheek getting wet and warm.
I don't have a clue why this is happening.
My son is peeing on me.
What a wonderful life.
That's parenting.
Okay, you got pee over here.
I'm like, oh my gosh.
P and he's smiling at you, peeing on you.
You know, what do you do to this kid?
Happy birthday, David.
Hey, man, phenomenal job, buddy.
You know, life is complicated, man.
Life is weird.
But you got to use your talents.
So all this stuff about giving money away.
You know how I perceive when somebody wants to give you free money?
Let me tell you how I look at free money.
So weird, how I look at free money.
I have such a hard time taking money from people.
When somebody gives you free money to me, it's like you think I can't do something.
It's a way of thinking.
It's almost insulting.
It's insulting.
Really?
It's insulting if somebody says, here, no, man, I got it.
A little bit, I get it a little bit.
Maybe a week, maybe two weeks, but I got it.
I don't want to sit there and rely on somebody for a handout situation.
So for me, man, listen, if it's not going to happen, I have no desire of politics.
The more and more I think about it, the more and more I just know it's not going to be something I'm going to be entertaining.
But if I ever ran a state or if I ever ran a country, you wouldn't like my tax system.
If you did love my tax system, it's because you're improvement.
If you didn't, I would send you to Mayor Garcia's city or county or state that he's governing.
But you wouldn't like the state I'd be running because I would want people that are using their talents.
And that's not a popular message today.
No, I've heard Pat say a lot of powerful things.
That might have taken the cake right there.
Other than that synergy rant you went on that blew my mind on the earlier podcast.
That was probably one of my favorite things.
I don't know that I have any mind left at this point.
I mean, it's what?
You know, it's almost 10 o'clock.
I have to say that this whole thing has me, you know, thinking, like the way that you guys think and the way that you interact with each other and the things that you said really kind of have got me just, you know, my wheels are turning up here because I don't do things like this.
You know what I mean?
You know, people will have me on their podcast and they'll go, you know, like, well, tell me about how you train women and how they learn versus how men learn.
But it's never been a conversation like this.
But I'll tell you what, what has happened is, you know, I didn't want to be here.
I didn't want to, you know, I don't want to sit on a podcast that has 2 million followers.
You know, I never, I didn't get into this because I wanted to be the face of something, right?
But when enough people tell you, if not you, then who, like, who else is going to talk about this?
And it's not that I'm the only one.
I mean, you know, Amy Robbins is doing a great job.
Antonio Okofor is doing a great job.
There's a lot of women that are out there really speaking about 2A, but we need more.
Like we need more women because we're the ones that need it the most, I think, probably out of almost anybody.
Agreed.
You know what I mean?
And that's arguable, okay?
But, you know, we are the weaker sex.
You know, the human traffickers aren't snatching the babies up from their daddies.
They're looking for the distracted mom that they're banking on is, you know, unprepared, unaware, and unarmed.
Okay.
And human trafficking is a huge problem that we have right now.
And I think that's a whole podcast episode in and of itself.
But the point is that I didn't want to be here.
I didn't consider this a talent.
I didn't consider this.
You know, I didn't look at my 23-year-old self, you know, when that had my 24-year-old self when that happened to me and go, you know what?
I'm going to go.
I'm going to start a company.
I'm going to start teaching guns.
That's what I'm going to do for a living.
I never thought that in a million years, but the more that I started doing it and the more people that were taking my classes, it's not necessarily that I'm just this wonderful, awesome instructor.
It's just that I have a perspective and I have a passion for it now.
And it's, you know, and that's what you have to do: you have to attach yourself to a purpose.
And that's what makes you.
So it's, you know, I never wanted to be here, but I mean, I'm honored to be here.
And I think that the message needs to get out.
And, you know, if I'm the one that has to tell it.
I hope more people contact you.
I hope you get more people that are messaging you and getting wanting to get you to get exposed because, and meaning sharing your story, because this message needs to be heard.
But let's do this.
I want to finish up with the Soros story.
Kai, can you pull up the Soros video?
I don't know if you guys saw what happened with Soros.
It's a little disturbing.
Okay.
It's a little disturbing for me.
And if you have the video, go click on do you have it or you don't have it, Kai?
I think you do have it somewhere there.
Is that no, not that one, although that's a cool video.
I saw that.
It was good you added that video, by the way, to it.
I saw it last night.
Just Kai, if you can't find it, just go type in.
Yeah, so I don't know if you guys saw what happened the other day.
Luis, did you see this?
Have you guys seen what happened with Soros and Newt Gingrich the other day on Fox?
No.
You didn't see it?
Do you know who George Soros is?
No idea.
Okay.
So George, we're going to hold out.
He's a legendary hockey player who played for the Kings as the goalie of Great Defender.
Let me see.
Move off of it because it's the video that's like minute.
Okay, go to minute 46, the 275,000.
Yeah.
Click on that one.
You open it up like that.
Interesting.
All right.
Fast forward a little bit, Kai.
Keep going.
Destroyed by this podcast.
Keep going.
For us.
I don't think YouTube's.
Look, the number one problem in almost all these cities is George Soros elected left-wing, anti-police, pro-criminal district attorneys who refuse to keep people locked up.
Just yesterday, they put somebody back on the street who's wanted for two different murders in New York City.
You cannot solve this problem.
And both Harris and Biden have talked very proudly.
Go tell us what they call progressive, pro-criminal, and overwhelmingly elected with George Soros's money.
This.
And they're a major cause of the violence we're seeing because they keep putting the violent criminals back on the street.
I'm not sure we need to bring George to listen to this.
I'm not sure we need to bring George.
Wow, I was going to say you're going to get the last word, he paid for it.
Why can't we discuss the fact that millions of dollars?
I agree with Palauka.
George Charles doesn't need to be a part of this conversation.
Who is she?
Okay.
So it's verbose.
All right.
Okay, pause it.
Who is she?
First of all, that this upset you deeply the other day.
No, no, no.
That's by the way, this is not about Fox.
I've never seen this on CNN or MSNBC.
This is very uncomfortable.
Saying you can't talk about something.
Or someone.
Well, someone.
First of all, what was that all about?
What was that all about?
I mean, when you see this guy spending the kind of money to help people getting elected in small communities, and you're spending the money, you are doing all this.
It's proven.
This is the stuff that this guy is doing.
It's been proven many times by people regarding what Soros has done.
What Newt Gingrich, all of a sudden, you can't say that.
Why can't you say that?
Yesterday I was watching Jimmy Kemmell.
Now, Jimmy Fallon had somebody on who talked about what happened with Breonna Taylor.
Okay.
And the last four minutes of that interview, if you watch with Brianna, with the lady that spoke, can you type in Jimmy Fallon and then go today, software today?
Go Jimmy Fallon and on the filters, go to search.
Then go to, just go to his channel and I'll take you to the video.
Go to his channel.
Actually, right there.
That's the lady right there.
Yeah, right there.
Joy Reed.
Go lower.
Two more.
One more.
Okay, right there.
If you watch this, go to minute eight.
Joy Reed is a big NBC.
She is a big NBC.
But go to minute eight.
And if you listen.
I've never been surprised.
Was in the Freddie Gray case in Baltimore when they were charged.
The surprise is when there are charges.
And that's only because Maryland.
I highly recommend people watch this because when I watch the last four minutes of what she says, first of all, she made it seem like all cops are bad cops.
She made it seem like we should get rid of all cops.
I mean, how is the executive producer not jumping and saying, wait a minute, listen, listen.
You were escorted here by cops.
We are protected by cops.
What are we doing?
It's not all of them.
It's a small percentage of them.
You don't hear anybody stopping those stuff.
You can't say the word Soros.
Is Soros advertising a lot of money on Fox?
What's Soros doing for Fox's producer to say you can't mention the name?
Newt Gingrich, the man who had a 22% lead years ago when he was running for office, he was crushing out on the debates and then he dropped off because of some stories came out about him.
This is the same guy that worked with Clinton in 94 was a man of the year, time X man of the year.
He was the one that helped with the economy.
Him and Clinton worked together.
Here's a guy that knows how to unite and work with an opposing side.
He can't say anything.
That guy cannot say anything.
Executive producer comes and says, you can't say that?
It's verbotim.
Very uncomfortable when I saw that.
Well, and the woman in the previous video who said that George Soros doesn't need to be a part of the conversation was actually former Obama administration State Department staffer Marie Harf.
She was?
Yeah.
The blonde girl.
The blonde girl was.
Adam, do you have anything to say on this or are you just kind of flabbergasted?
No, I mean, this is actually perfect timing.
The fact that I did this interview with Daryl Davis yesterday.
And again, if you guys have not in our audience, have not seen anything with Daryl Davis, please Google him.
Check out what he has done.
He has been on Rogan.
He's been on CNN.
He's got documentaries, galore.
And he basically meets with KKK Klansmen and convinces them or sparks something in their mind to get them to leave the Klan.
Okay?
So one of the, I'll give you a few of his perspectives and quotes.
And he says, I may not agree with what you say, but I defend your right to say it.
Cool.
That's the First Amendment.
And for sure, we need different perspectives.
There's nothing that we have.
This is the First Amendment.
I might not agree with what you're saying, but you can say it.
This is America, right?
And his keys.
And it's what makes America different than everywhere else.
Exactly.
I don't get that point.
you need to listen to other people and respect other people's opinions listen and respect This is bigger than that, though.
This is bigger than that.
This is controlling the narrative with Fox.
This is Fox being afraid of somebody saying something.
The host is stopped and says, wait, you can't say that.
That's not true.
That's like in the middle of a debate.
When you see Hillary is debating Trump and Trump says something, the moderator says, you're wrong rather than asking a question, but doesn't say you're wrong to Hillary.
Let them debate.
Then you say you're wrong the next day.
You can't jump in and do this, but the media is now doing this.
Very disturbing to me at the highest level.
I would like to see if there's anything more like that or if that's just a one-time incident.
The mission of journalism has become very diluted and mutated.
It's a great time for a media company to get started.
I can tell you that for a month.
By the way, if you've enjoyed today's show, I am putting Jara's Instagram account right there in the comment section.
