[00:00:00]  I'm leaving Minneapolis now and heading to Denver.
[00:00:04]  Let's try to see some interesting things along the way.
[00:00:08]  I'm lost.
[00:01:20]  There's no water and food.
[00:01:23]  Been walking for days in this heat.
[00:01:27]  There's some Native Americans tracking me.
[00:01:31]  I'm trying to get back to the wagon I parked in the village.
[00:01:38]  I don't think I'm going to make it back.
[00:01:41]  If you receive this message before it's too late, please send a telegram to my family in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
[00:01:50]  Tell them that I love them.
[00:01:52]  Goodbye, world.
[00:02:24]  I missed.
[00:02:26]  It's my beard.
[00:02:29]  Friends, this is it.
[00:02:31]  I've hit the end of the road.
[00:02:35]  My life is flashing before my eyes.
[00:02:40]  All of it was vanity.
[00:02:43]  Vanity of vanities.
[00:02:45]  It was all useless.
[00:02:48]  Except the five months that I served the Lord's will.
[00:02:53]  Five months out of 40 years, that was all that was good.
[00:02:59]  Before I go, I'm so weak, I can't talk.
[00:03:05]  Before I go, I just wanted to tell you the most important thing I learned about life.
[00:03:11]  And the most important thing I learned is that glory to God for making these rocks beautiful.
[00:03:38]  That's all there is here, is just rocks.
[00:03:42]  It's very hot, too.
[00:03:46]  I saw a black-billed magpie bird.
[00:03:52]  It had a huge tail feather.
[00:03:59]  There were some signs that said that the beginning of this Badlands was 500 million years old or something like that.
[00:04:08]  And I thought, nonsense.
[00:04:11]  Lies.
[00:04:13]  They can't even get the news of today right.
[00:04:15]  And you're telling me you know what happened 500 million years ago?
[00:04:19]  Give me a break.
[00:04:22]  All they have are theories and they present their theories as fact.
[00:04:28]  Only God knows how these formations were made.
[00:04:39]  Whenever I see informational signs about fossils and dating, I just ignore it.
[00:04:46]  They don't know.
[00:04:47]  and the arrogance of human beings to think that they do know how this was made.
[00:05:00]  These rocks, and they are just that, are more beautiful than any girl I've ever been with.
[00:05:14]  They are not distorted in any way by social trends, culture.
[00:05:23]  They are not inflamed by lust and passion.
[00:05:27]  It's just natural beauty for you to enjoy without any harm to yourself unless you slip and fall from one of the rocks.
[00:05:42]  I took a couple hikes.
[00:05:43]  They were a bit difficult, strenuous.
[00:05:47]  I'm sweating like a pig.
[00:05:51]  It's not a garden I've come to love, but it's still beautiful.
[00:05:57]  I highly advise you if you have the opportunity to come here.
[00:06:02]  It's the Badlands.
[00:06:05]  First named by the French because they were bad lands, not good for anything.
[00:06:09]  Well, in this modern time where all the cities are filled with ugliness, turns out these rocks are the most beautiful thing that you can find.
[00:06:23]  Amen.
[00:07:27]  And then you say, I think we're all on hell.
[00:07:34]  I'm in Rapid City, South Dakota.
[00:07:37]  It has a Western feel to it.
[00:07:39]  I think this is maybe considered the West.
[00:07:43]  It's not that bad here.
[00:07:45]  The old town has a rustic charm to it.
[00:07:50]  But I'm sensing a liberal vibe.
[00:07:54]  It reminds me of New Hope, Pennsylvania, like with the local artists and so on.
[00:07:59]  But it isn't that bad.
[00:08:00]  It isn't that bad.
[00:08:02]  I only saw one gay flag, but a lot of tattoos on the women.
[00:08:10]  The men seem masculine.
[00:08:13]  I think this is distorted because the Sturgis motorcycle rallies nearby and that attracts a lot of bikers.
[00:08:21]  So I don't think that's how it normally is here.
[00:08:28]  There's a lot of bikers.
[00:08:30]  And fun fact, I used to ride a motorcycle.
[00:08:33]  It was a Kawasaki Ninja 500, only 500cc, but it was fast.
[00:08:38]  And this was in my mid-20s.
[00:08:43]  But I had a problem of not riding according to my ability.
[00:08:48]  So I got into some dangerous close calls.
[00:08:52]  But now I'm seeing all the bikes and I want to buy one.
[00:08:59]  It's a pretty white town, a lot of white people, but there's also these down and out Native Americans who look like they've seen better days.
[00:09:10]  So they are milling around in the downtown area.
[00:09:15]  But there's not too much homelessness.
[00:09:17]  So I think Rapid City is a good alternative compared to some other places that I've been that has a rampant homelessness problem.
[00:09:30]  One last thing I can say about the really small South Dakota towns, ones that don't even have a main street, it's like going back in time 20 years.
[00:09:39]  I mean, it is, if you want to, if you wish for the old style United States, like before the internet, before all that, go to a dinky, dusty town in South Dakota.
[00:09:50]  You will get that.
[00:09:53]  You're entering a time machine when you come to South Dakota.
[00:09:59]  But it's cool.
[00:09:59]  It's cool.
[00:10:00]  I mean, this is a place.
[00:10:02]  If you don't want to be a farmer, but you want to be something like a cowboy, then, you know, you're going to have dirt and dust everywhere and just everyone has a pickup truck, then South Dakota is a good choice.
[00:11:08]  South Dakota was established in the late 1800s as an illegal settlement that was part of the gold rush So many people wanted to strike it rich with gold.
[00:11:22]  And then the town sprung up out of nothing.
[00:11:26]  So you got to see some of that gold rush architecture, which ironically enough is way better than modern architecture that we have now.
[00:11:37]  When this town came up, it was a place of drinking.
[00:11:42]  There were brothels.
[00:11:45]  So it catered to the men.
[00:11:48]  And what struck me is that when there is a new opportunity to commit a wrong, in this case, it would be greed to commit one of the deadly sins.
[00:12:00]  There is a flood of people.
[00:12:03]  Look at the social networking platforms that cater to pride, especially Instagram.
[00:12:09]  There's a flood of people.
[00:12:11]  Look at the social networking platform that caters to anger, Twitter.
[00:12:16]  where everyone is fighting everybody else.
[00:12:18]  Flood of people.
[00:12:21]  And I need not to say much about lust except when I went to a country and said, hey guys, there's some good-looking girls here that you can fornicate with.
[00:12:31]  Here come the flood of men to the point where I am recognized on the street more in Eastern Europe than in my own country.
[00:12:41]  Because these men have flown there to hit that gold rush.
[00:12:44]  Oh, easy girls that are beautiful.
[00:12:48]  So whenever you see some kind of trend, it's probably a bad sign.
[00:12:53]  Probably a sign that you should go in the opposite way.
[00:13:00]  Right now, there's the motorcycle rally in Sturgis, so you saw a lot of bikers, a lot of them.
[00:13:08]  I saw dikes on bikes.
[00:13:13]  I hate to say it, but all the women who were part of this biker crew were not attractive.
[00:13:20]  In some cases, the men were more attractive.
[00:13:23]  In most cases.
[00:13:25]  Because the women in the biker clubs, they try to do the same thing as the men in terms of the tattoos and the leather gear.
[00:13:35]  But it doesn't look good on them.
[00:13:41]  So what I saw with all of the bikers, you know, this is an identity.
[00:13:45]  First, you spend $20,000 to get a Hardley bike.
[00:13:50]  Then you buy the leather gear, the branded gear, then you get the tattoos.
[00:13:57]  It's an identity.
[00:13:59]  And it's a dying one because this was mostly an identity for the boomers.
[00:14:07]  Most of the bikers were indeed old.
[00:14:12]  Look at the younger people today.
[00:14:15]  The millennials don't know even how to drive a car.
[00:14:18]  You think they're going to buy a bike?
[00:14:20]  No, my beard's not straight.
[00:14:27]  And identity is this ache for purpose, but you find it in the wrong place.
[00:14:33]  You find it in the material world instead of the spiritual.
[00:14:37]  So here's my heart.
[00:14:38]  I bought it heartily.
[00:14:39]  I got the tattoos.
[00:14:41]  I got a leather jacket, and I'm going to the rallies.
[00:14:46]  I'm part of an identity, but why is my life still not fulfilling?
[00:14:52]  Because it's a false identity.
[00:14:54]  These bikers, they're not your fellow tribesmen.
[00:14:59]  They're fellow consumers.
[00:15:01]  You fell for a consumer identity.
[00:15:05]  So I believe that this is probably going to fade out.
[00:15:08]  In 20 or 30 years, you're not going to see that.
[00:15:15]  So I'm done with this.
[00:15:18]  gonna head now south from South Dakota and start entering Wyoming and Colorado.
[00:16:53]  It's hard to see it when you're 10 miles away from it.
[00:16:56]  The funny thing is that before came, before coming here, I bought a 80 yearly pass to the National National Parks, thinking that oh,
[00:17:26]  it's going to cover Mount Rushmore.
[00:17:28]  You get in a $10 parking fee, oh, and you can't use your national pass.
[00:17:33]  So I knew when they hit me with that $10 charge that it would be a big scam.
[00:17:44]  Mount Rushmore is part of the Black Hills.
[00:17:46]  This is a big park where you can drive through it, a lot of scenic views and trees, which is cool.
[00:17:53]  You can stop and do some hiking and look at some lakes.
[00:18:00]  But the highlight of it, Mount Rushmore, leaves me aching for more.
[00:18:08]  Everyone's like, it's a must-see.
[00:18:09]  You got to do Mount Rushmore.
[00:18:11]  I knew it.
[00:18:13]  Whenever the mob tells you that you have to do something, you got to do it.
[00:18:17]  You got to experience it.
[00:18:19]  It's a scam.
[00:18:22]  A bunch of tourists got suckered into it.
[00:18:25]  God knows how many thousands of miles they had to travel to see a rock.
[00:18:32]  It's just a piece of art, right?
[00:18:34]  So you can enjoy it for the art, but to travel, to pay.
[00:18:38]  You know, that anti-drone sign was more interesting than Mount Rushmore was.
[00:18:48]  Onwards.
[00:20:17]  Wyoming is amazing.
[00:20:21]  It's the place I always dreamed of.
[00:20:24]  I knew it was going to be special when I was driving through the eastern part of it down to Cheyenne and there was no cars.
[00:20:32]  I was thinking, where are the people?
[00:20:35]  This endless miles of this nobody.
[00:20:38]  And it wasn't a dinky road I was on.
[00:20:40]  It was a major state road.
[00:20:43]  Finally, peace.
[00:20:44]  This was the place where I was the most isolated out of anywhere driving down here.
[00:20:54]  In a state this big, there are something like 600,000 people only.
[00:21:00]  The biggest building in the state is 11 stories high.
[00:21:05]  And Cheyenne, which is one of the most populated cities in town, feels like a village.
[00:21:12]  I went back in time, 20 years.
[00:21:15]  No gay flags.
[00:21:17]  The only sign of modern civilization after the 2000s is tattoos.
[00:21:25]  There's quite a few tattoo parlors.
[00:21:28]  It's so peaceful here.
[00:21:30]  It's quiet.
[00:21:31]  No loud hip-hop blaring out of cars.
[00:21:36]  It's just an old-style Americana.
[00:21:39]  This is the kind of America that many people online dream of.
[00:21:44]  Well, it's here.
[00:21:45]  You can come here.
[00:21:48]  Just bring your wife with you because you're not going to find a girl here.
[00:21:53]  But everything else is perfect.
[00:21:54]  It's cheap.
[00:21:55]  There are jobs.
[00:21:58]  Wyoming is perhaps the best state that I have been to so far.
[00:22:06]  It's just peaceful.
[00:22:07]  That's all I can say.
[00:22:08]  I mean, the people are kind of cool too.
[00:22:12]  They're just wear jeans and you can tell they work with their hands.
[00:22:19]  I haven't seen many yoga pants.
[00:22:24]  It's just a cool place.
[00:22:26]  But I feel cooler having been here.
[00:22:30]  You know, people they see me with my big beard.
[00:22:33]  fit in here.
[00:22:43]  It's just you walk around and you don't see a lot of the problems that are prevalent everywhere else.
[00:22:50]  It's like, how did this place exist without me knowing that it was that good?
[00:23:00]  Now, of course, if you want to live like a rat, to fornicate with other rats, be entertained by other rats, then this is not your place.
[00:23:10]  Go to New York.
[00:23:12]  You know, other rats will be close to you.
[00:23:15]  You can live in filth.
[00:23:17]  But if you want to soar like an eagle, spread your wings over this beautiful land.
[00:23:24]  And I haven't even been to Yellowstone, which is in this state.
[00:23:28]  Soar like an eagle here.
[00:23:31]  No filth.
[00:23:34]  You can be on all on in your lonesome, just exploring the mass space.
[00:23:42]  No grime, no dirt, no crime.
[00:23:46]  You can even carry your gun concealed, open carry, whatever you want.
[00:23:52]  Most, I don't know the official stats, a lot of gun owners here.
[00:23:55]  Lowest crime.
[00:23:58]  Did you forget to lock your door?
[00:24:00]  You're probably okay.
[00:24:04]  It's too bad I can't stay long this time, but I'm going to swing back up to go to Yellowstone Park.
[00:24:11]  But so far, Wyoming, wow, this is a marvelous place.
[00:24:17]  I'm glad I stopped here
[00:25:40]  I'm so tired Is this tour over yet?
[00:25:44]  How many more stops I got left?
[00:25:47]  15.
[00:25:48]  Oh no.
[00:25:50]  Oh, I need a day off.
[00:25:52]  But Denver went well.
[00:25:53]  The event this time I did the talk, Q  ⁇ A, and happy hour in one six-hour go, and it went well, except for the fact that there were five protesters.
[00:26:05]  There were four overweight women and one male ally of theirs who submits to their will.
[00:26:17]  And they were in front of the hotel holding signs saying that Rouch V is a rapist.
[00:26:27]  I am not joking.
[00:26:29]  And they came kind of late.
[00:26:30]  I think they had a gay pride event they had to attend first because they only got to the hotel about 10 minutes before the start time.
[00:26:37]  So only two guests of mine saw them.
[00:26:40]  And The report I got back, I don't have any photo.
[00:26:46]  The report I got back is that they were yelling at the building, yelling at the building like normal people, saying things like hate has no place here.
[00:27:01]  And at the same time that they took the time to make signs against me and go to this hotel and yell at a building, Jeffrey Epstein, who is the tip of the iceberg of a satanic pedophile ring in the United States that affects everyone in politics and the media, that is countrywide.
[00:27:28]  Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide.
[00:27:31]  So instead of going after the real pedophiles and rapists and whoever, they're trying to attack me for things I didn't do.
[00:27:42]  So that kind of gets three honks from me because that's how crazy you can brainwash people to attack a harmless bearded man instead of the real enemy who is trafficking in human beings.
[00:27:58]  I didn't see too much of Denver.
[00:28:00]  The way it looks like to me is that the older people here, the boomers, have this hippie vibe.
[00:28:05]  It's like a lot of aging hippies.
[00:28:08]  There is this new age feel to it.
[00:28:13]  But the younger people, they're just like people from any other city I've been to.
[00:28:18]  At least one thing about the boomers, they had the tribes.
[00:28:21]  You had the motorcycle tribe, the hippie tribe.
[00:28:25]  But now if you're under 30, it's just one tribe.
[00:28:29]  Or you're either in the left or the right, and that's it.
[00:28:32]  So you all wear the same clothing.
[00:28:35]  You act the same.
[00:28:36]  You're all addicted to your smartphones on the same apps.
[00:28:39]  It's like there's no variation among the younger people.
[00:28:44]  And so this, you know, you can just swap the people out from one city to the next.
[00:28:49]  It's like a clone army.
[00:28:52]  So what are Denver people like?
[00:28:54]  The younger ones?
[00:28:54]  I don't know.
[00:28:55]  They look the same just like anywhere else.
[00:28:57]  They're like actors on a stage put there for me just to observe.
[00:29:04]  The highlight of my stay in Denver is I went to the St. Herman Orthodox Church.
[00:29:09]  A couple guys at my talk, they invited me to come.
[00:29:11]  I'm really glad that I went.
[00:29:13]  The service was done in English.
[00:29:15]  This is the Orthodox Church of America.
[00:29:19]  And you can learn more about them by going to oca.org.
[00:29:23]  If you are a convert to Orthodoxy in the United States, chances are you're going to join this branch.
[00:29:30]  You're not generally not going to join the Armenian church, the Romanian church, you know, all these more ethnic-based churches.
[00:29:39]  So you're probably going to want to convert to the Orthodox Church of America.
[00:29:44]  And the things that they did, the liturgy is almost identical to what I have seen in other Orthodox churches.
[00:29:52]  So I had a chance to talk to the father, the priest of the church, and told him my story, received his blessing, which was nice.
[00:30:03]  So that kind of wraps up Denver.
[00:30:08]  I'm getting a little bit tired now.
[00:30:10]  I'm starting to feel it.
[00:30:11]  This is eight events in, but still got many more to go.
[00:30:15]  Now I make my way towards the West.
[00:30:18]  Salt Lake City is next.
[00:30:19]  This is going to be a small event, probably the smallest one yet.
[00:30:24]  So if you want to join that event, you can still buy a ticket.
[00:30:27]  Go to Roosh.live to buy a ticket.
[00:30:30]  And then after that, the West Coast and the West Coast, I'm sure I'm not going to get any protesters, right?
[00:30:34]  It's going to be completely calm.
[00:30:36]  So that's coming up soon.
