Learning From Failure

|
| 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. | |
|
Thank You, David
