Time Text
YouTube channel, one and a half million subscribers.
That's a lot of subscribers.
And it's Keith and Kevin, the brothers or twins.
So, yes, I have a lot of questions still.
I want to get back to the victim thing.
Yeah.
One of you were saying, and it's so critical, it is a lot easier to believe you're a victim than to look in the mirror.
Yeah, it's easier to blame somebody else.
For your inadequacies than to look in the mirror and fix the situation yourself.
Because whenever you fail at something, Dennis, it's not failure.
It's an opportunity for you to learn from that.
That's how all successful people are.
They fail and they learn from their failures.
I think a lot of people on the left, they make a horrible decision.
They blame somebody else.
One of the biggest destructions to the black community is identity politics.
I mean, me being in the military, I was working in the 45th companies all life.
From every black person I've ever known, man, they always had this thing with other people being racist when they don't even know that person personally.
For example, when I went to school and I got a degree in accounting, I was like, Once I got that degree, Dennis, I went to like, I want to say like 15 interviews.
No one ever called me back.
I fell in that hole victimization.
Oh, it's got to be because I'm black.
It's got to be.
So, you know what I did, Dennis?
I said, you know what?
What I'm going to do going forward when I get another interview, I took all those questions that they were asking me during the interviews.
I'm going to go ahead and prefer...
Perfect my answer for every question they ask me.
And my next interview, I'm going to knock that sock off.
I'm going to smile.
I'm going to improve my interviewing skills.
So the very next job interview, I put myself like a week.
And every interview I went to, I asked them the same question, but I didn't have a good, solid answer for them.
So my next interview, I answered every question.
I was very articulate.
I gave them great answers.
And I got the job.
After 15 rejections.
After 15 rejections.
I could have very easily...
By the way, did you wear a suit and tie to the last one?
I wore a suit and tie to all of them.
Okay, just checking, because you guys do not wear a suit and tie on your podcast.
Right, right, right.
We're pretty laid back on that part.
Yeah, I was going to say, right, if you showed up in one of those t-shirts, that might have been one of the reasons, but all right, now it's clear to me.
Okay, that's fair.
So the great challenge is to get that message to more blacks.
You're hurting your lives by buying this victim mentality.
Yeah.
But, you know, Hollywood and our culture, our musicians, our celebrities, our civil rights, man, they got their hooks so deep into black people, you can't even talk to them.
They're so mentally enslaved, they don't even know they got shackles on them.
I try to talk to black people, no, I'm not going to dance with a white man.
You sound like a white person.
I'm saying, no, man, I'm just being clear.
Everything's just my...
It's just not about being black and African.
We all are just people with the same life, the same wants, the same dreams in America.
Drop all that pro-black, pro-Africa.
I said, man, you're just an American.
Nothing more than that.
You're American just like everybody else.
That's right.
That's the dream, and that's what I believe.
That's exactly right.
I am in the, let's see, I'm in the second toughest group to crack.
I'm a Jewish conservative.
So, whereas you got 90% of the vote Democrat, I only have 70%.
Jews vote 70%.
So, I start off with a little advantage when I speak to Jews.
But the truth is, the left-wing Jew will turn me off, just as the left-wing black will turn you off.
Right.
It's sad, really.
I mean, our former government in America is more of a Republican form of government because no democracy can ever survive because of this mob mentality.
That's right.
You see it on the left.
You see what these riots are.
That's a total.
That's a pure democracy right there.
It's just mob mentality.
Everything's based on the whim.
There's no logic.
It's all in motion.
Yeah, just imagine, Dennis, if we didn't have the electoral college.
we would never have a Republican president.
Never.
That's right.
And nobody would campaign in Wisconsin or Michigan or Ohio.
It would be irrelevant.
They'd just get Los Angeles and New York and go home.
Yeah, yeah.
And Philadelphia, I guess.
By the way, you guys are living in Vegas.
Vegas is hurting, isn't it?
Yeah, it's the highest unemployment in the country.
Yeah, because the majority of the economy out here is tourism.
Hotels.
Exactly.
And people are still not coming?
It's starting to open up a little bit.
I mean, the governor out here, Sisolak, he just opened up the casinos about a week ago.
I think the churches are still closed out here.
I mean, what's really worried me about this whole pandemic is the left always preaches about follow the science.
The science is pretty clear now.
If you're under 50 and you're in good health, This virus has very little effect.
That's right, my man.
Listen, I gotta say goodbye, but I'd love to do this again.
Your treasure's in American life.
I just want you to know that.
Thank you, David.
Thank you.
You're very welcome.
The Hodge twins, and there's a link to them.
You go straight to them, or there's a link.
