I get you can own businesses, but there's just too much There's too much overlapping All right guys got Taylor here escaping the fires man, it's getting rough out there. Yeah, man. It's been it's been heavy
Starting point is 00:02:22 We're right in between it. So right in between San Diego and LA, we're in that inland area, Canyon Lake, kind of Temecula area. But dude. It's been horrible. Man, it's heavy, you know, how that stuff rolls in. This is just that perfect storm of shit, man. That's Santa Ana with all the stuff going on.
Starting point is 00:02:38 It's a shame. A lot of people lost their homes, man. Dude, it's crazy. I try not to get too conspiratorial, but it just seems like a lot of fishy stuff. Right? Yeah, I agreed. Well, as you know, I always say, don't just shut off as conspiracy.
Starting point is 00:02:51 What can be just complete incompetency, you know, like conspiracy back when we were growing up was like, you're crazy. Yeah. Like if you believed in those, now it's like normal, dude. I mean, there are so many people that have so many agendas and I don't put anything past anybody, especially if you got enough, enough ass in the sauce to be able to make some shit happen. Right.
Starting point is 00:03:15 And I'm sure you witnessed these firsthand, you know, with your military experience. Yeah, man. I mean, also, also I also in the devil's advocate piece, it's hard to keep a secret. It is hard to keep a secret. And so there's that conspiracy piece of you really need a lot of people to keep a lot of secrets and that's tough to do. A lot, yeah, because some of these are wild.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Yeah, and I don't really trust people's ability to keep their mouth shut. Yeah, and on social media these days, I mean, people are just quick to fire the trigger. Yeah, they're like, oh, I got a secret, man. Let me tell you how much you're gonna pay. Yeah, they're releasing some unclass I got a secret, man. Let me tell you how much you're going to pay. Yeah. They're releasing some unclassified documents today.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Did you see that? I saw that Trump kind of opened up some of those RFK documents, man. That's going to be interesting. That is going to be interesting. I can't wait to get home tonight to read those, honestly. Yeah, I was curious how Kennedy was kind of, RFK was kind of looking at how that might feel,
Starting point is 00:04:02 you know, being family associated. I mean, he must have known by now, right? Yeah. I'm fascinated with some of the dinner conversations with that family, bro. Can you imagine? Yeah. You know, they've had helicopters landing on their front lawn for decades, you know, just being that tied in that high up. Yeah. I can't imagine what some of those conversations are. Yeah. It's going gonna be interesting, man. My grandmother, I was too young when he got assassinated,
Starting point is 00:04:28 but she really got affected by that one. Yeah. You know, my grandparents, that was a big deal back in the day. Bro, imagine that scene. That's powerful, man. That's pretty, that's powerful. What the, how that actually transpired.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Yeah, because they got it on video too. Yeah, dude. I mean, people live, imagine. I mean, we had almost that same thing happen here, you know, with them. There was a lot of talk, but people think about what that actually would have been. That's horrifying, man. That type, that level of violence and people seeing that and somebody died there too. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:58 And so it's nothing to just scoff at that level of violence. Yeah. Yeah. You never wanted to get to that far, even if you disagree, right? Dude, people are extreme, man. Yeah. Dude, talk some shit out, man.
Starting point is 00:05:12 It's okay to have ideas, but people get so wrapped up emotionally. It's lack of emotional intelligence, man. Yeah, how did you get control of your emotions? Because I'm assuming you weren't born like that, right? No, dude, I'm actually probably one of the worst. I had a, just, I had a real bad temper growing up and you know, that all that wrapped in with growing up and it's, it's no excuses. It's just kind of reasons or, or things that I had to learn. But I really
Starting point is 00:05:37 learned my ability to control my emotional state, my internal vibrational frequency in the French Foreign Legion, where I was had everything stripped away and was just kind of forced to go internal man. Yeah, because that's like the highest level of the military over there, right? Well, it's it's it's infantry. It's highly trained infantry unit. It's just a very unique unit. Anybody that doesn't kind of know 30,000 foot overview, it's like a couple hundred year
Starting point is 00:06:04 old institution that's just foreign fighters in France started by an old king to get foreigners off the out of the bars and back onto the battlefield without the political pressure of French coming back in body bags. Interesting. And they fought in every war from Algeria to fucking Afghanistan. Holy crap. Yeah. so it's about 7,000 guys, almost all foreigners, and they have French officers for the most part that come from their like West Point, you know, equivalent over there, and all the rest are foreigners, man. And so you show up with a bag and your passport and knock on the door.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Dude, it's like the Wizard of Oz, man. You just go, there's no application. There's no fucking. Looking for the ultimate online casino experience?

You just go, there's two little bases, one on the East outskirts of Paris and one in South France. You just go knock on this big iron metal door and a dude with a gun and like a green beret was a French Foreign Legionnaire will open it up and be like, what's up? You know, what's up? You know, like, je suis ici pour la Legion, you know, if you Googled the little French before you got there. And they tell you to get up on the pull-up bar
Starting point is 00:09:11 and you hand your fucking passport. And I didn't see that passport again for three years, man. Whoa. Yeah, you hand it over and if you make it through, you can't leave the country. You operate under a fake name, they give you a fake identity and all that. Holy crap.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Yeah, it's a very unique institution. That is super unique. 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. You can go there at Christmas morning and knock on this door and they'll let you in. No days off. No, it's 24 hour guarded, it's just what they do, man. That is interesting.
Starting point is 00:09:39 And all sorts of perspectives, because you said it's people from around the world, it's not just French people, right? Yeah, it's 150 nations represented in the French foreign nations. So, I mean, in my graduating class of like 50 guys, it was Venezuela, Colombia, El Salvador. You have countries, every country in Africa,
Starting point is 00:09:59 South Africa, Mali, Chad. And then you have all the way to Thailand, Mongolia. And every Eastern European, a lot of Eastern Europeans, Ukrainians, Romanians, and things like that, man. Nepalese also. Yeah, so super tight knit too, because only 7,000, only 15 are classed. So that's like very personal.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Yeah, man. And so it's about one out of 15 guys who knock on the door will actually get selected. Oh, that's it? Yeah so it's about one out of 15 guys who knock on the door will actually get selected. Oh, that's it? Yeah, it's about one out of 15 because it's, they're looking at your feet, your legs, your, your overall body composition, military experience, age, 18 to 39 and a half, 17 and a half to 39 and a half is the window. But they're looking at everything. And also massively important is the interview. So psychological evaluations,
Starting point is 00:10:50 IQ tests, and Interpol background checks. So that's going to be, and that's that whole vetting process is about a month long before you actually sign a contract. That's insane. Yeah. Before you go to bootcamp, that's just like you in civilian clothes, hanging out for a couple of weeks, IQ checks dental records all these dental checks. I should say and Interrogations they do this like Gestapo interview with mine was very long because they're like What the fuck's the foreign former Navy SEAL doing here? They don't they don't want issues with the United States government They don't want dudes coming there for war crimes or having issues with interpol, arms trafficking,
Starting point is 00:11:29 drug trafficking, so they're like, what the fuck you doing here? And I just told them, I was like, man, I ruined my whole life, I need a second chance. So that checks out though, right? They're like, all right, that actually makes sense. They're not looking for boy scouts there. They know what the deal is.
Starting point is 00:11:42 That's interesting. They probably don't want spies either. Yeah, I mean, there's a couple countries they don't allow, which is interesting. I think it was Cuba and North Korea, I think, are like two. That makes sense. Yeah, there are two countries that they don't allow that might have changed, but it hadn't at that time. Yeah, where did you get sent off to while you were there? So they sent me to South America, deployment in South America. And when the Ukraine war kicked off, they sent us to enhance Ford Presence Battle Group, tasked with NATO to the Russian border in Estonia, which was, you know, people that only know, cause I didn't know much about Estonia before,
Starting point is 00:12:21 but it's that far Northeast corner, uh, along the border of Russia. And it was the Danish, the French, UK, and, and Estonians grouped up in this, like, I mean, we do, we were rolling out on, on exercises, flexing on the border, right? It wasn't hot combat or anything like that, but it was just, it was joint training exercises, flexing on the border, blowing some shit up. But we'd roll out with like 82 tanks. But I had never seen being a Navy SEAL seven years, you know, you're operating differently, but dude, 82 tanks in a row, that's 3 million in diesel every day. You know, it's like, it's a lot of money. So, or every few days, but in South America, a lot of people don't know. I didn't know this. I didn't know France had territory in South America. I did not know it's called Guion France French can. So they actually
Starting point is 00:13:14 have, they use the fucking Euro. They speak French and yeah. And so it used to be a penal colony and anybody seen the movie as a, the Papillon, it's like with Dennis Hoffman, old movie in the 70s. That's the movie about French Guian, which is, dude, there's a lot of gold down there. The whole job down there was patrolling deep jungle operations, pretty much combating, not combating, but policing any illegal gold mining operations and also kind of securing legal gold mining operations for French companies in French Guiana. So you would run into illegal gold miners? Oh, dude, we do 14 day patrols. I had no idea how prolific it was down there.
Starting point is 00:13:59 We would hit a new one every day. Whoa. Dude, every day, 14 day patrols in, hit, hit, destroy, run off. Because you can't really wrap these dudes up, dude. You're 14 days hiking in the jungle. What are you going to do with them? Yeah. You can't bring them back.
Starting point is 00:14:12 No, you can't bring them back. And so, dude, they would have full on little cities built. Dude, they would have karaoke bars. What? They would have whore houses, man. They would have, it was like coming into these small little like shack villages, man. And so we'd be like, dude. They would have, it was like coming into these small little like shack villages, man. And so we'd be like, dude, we'd have to, it wasn't really disrespectful. You're like, hey, man, you
Starting point is 00:14:32 know, we'd break their engines, you know, pretty much burn the buildings down because, but dude, they would use tons of mercury. There was to cut the gold. They rip apart that place in terms of chemicals. Dude, they would have that place in terms of chemicals. Dude, they would have us jumping in these mercury lakes, pulling out diesel engines and hoses and shit. They're like, Hey Navy SEAL, go for a swim, you know? And I'm like, all right, dude, let's get it. New guy on the new guy on the, on the totem pole, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:01 So what was the military sending you to do that to them? Yeah. So it's the French government, French government. Okay. So the French foreign Legion is a, I would say it's kind of like the Marine Corps in terms of structure and like formality. Yeah. And, and it's a one-stop shop for France.
Starting point is 00:15:16 So the French foreign Legion has their own cavalry tanks. They have their own parachute regiment. I was at the mountain, mountain regiment, which is kind of attached to the 27th Mountain Infantry Brigade of France. So it was a mountain mountain engineering regiment They got their own infantry and all that shit man. And so medical cooks administration all one-stop shop for for the French horn legion So it's very useful for France. They could just kind of put a regiment or a company or whatever yeah into wherever they need to put a message saying So these illegal mining operations were they combative or where they're kind of just submissive
Starting point is 00:15:54 They're running off. They don't really want issues with the French that make sense Yeah, you know they don't want to get in a firefight, but dude They would have some people would have weapons we'd come across weapons thankfully it wasn't you know we didn't have to like have any issues like that, but dude, they would have, some people would have weapons. We'd come across weapons, but thankfully it wasn't, you know, we didn't have to like have any issues like that, but it, it's kind of sad because dude, they got families there and stuff too. Yeah. Yeah. Women, kids, you know, dudes would run off.
Starting point is 00:16:16 It was just kind of a, it's unfortunate to see, but it's also people trying to make a lot of livelihood, you know? So I don't have any ill will. We're just kind of doing our piece down there to kind of just of livelihood, you know, so I don't have any ill will we're just kind of doing our piece down there To kind of just write, you know run it off and clean it up. I guess as best we can Yeah, those mines I've heard they're in Africa to do tons man I think they're probably doing cobalt and diamonds and stuff down there But dude, they're pretty it's pretty powerful what you see because you know, somebody at the tops making making the cheese
Starting point is 00:16:43 But they're pulling a lot of gold out of there, dude. We were taking, there would be spots, man. It would look like this, man. That big? No, I'm saying like the ground. It would have these like, shape. You would see gold in the ground, man, just like laying in the sand.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Wow. Damn, it's really out here, you know? We would have these, this one we did, we had to bring a bunch of demolition in there and blow the shit up out of this gold mine. But dude, there were gold laying on the ground. Little trace amounts, right? But you could see the flickers, but it's very impressive. And I talked to a legal gold mine.
Starting point is 00:17:14 They had seven guys working this mine. I'm like, what are you pulling out of here, dude? They're pulling 500,000 euros a week out of there. What? Yeah. Five, six, five five seven guys, man which just they had some equipment and it was a little bit better of a Operation more formal But getting it out man, dude
Starting point is 00:17:34 It was like Wild West the dude would put a backpack on one of them got shot through the neck and and that's why we got sent down there a couple weeks before he died because dude, it's like the worst mission ever. These guys would have their backpack and I don't know how they would draw the short straw who would have but weekly they would do the run to get the gold out. And so obviously there's these small little like out bandit units that know okay these guys are gonna have to get this fucking gold out somehow. And so dude would get on a dirt bike, one guy would drive, one guy would have a gun in the back in a backpack with packed with like the raw gold or however they got to get it out and just hey, just fucking, you know, through the gauntlet man.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Takes a week. No, I mean, it would every week they would do that, but it would take however many hours to get back to the main river because dude, then they're putting it on a riverboat. a week? No, I mean it would every week they would do that but it would take however many hours to get back to the main river because dude then they're putting it on a riverboat. Oh my god. Putting it on. I'd be terrified. Yeah man. Because it's too mountainous to fly right? Dude it's well it's so deep jungle man. It is real Amazon jungle dude. Wow. Because it borders Venezuela. Damn. Well it borders Suriname, technically. But it's right between Brazil and Venezuela.
Starting point is 00:18:48 It's that area. I mean, it's real jungle, man. So you saw some wild animals out there. Oh, dude. It's like Avatar. Dude, it's like Hunger Games, man. Dude, if we were down there and you can't lay on the ground. Really?
Starting point is 00:19:01 You cannot. You're going to get fucked up, dude. By a snake or something? Ants man. Dude, they're everywhere. That's right. And you don't think about the, it's not the big animals that you're really worried about, dude. It's the small insects, man. And I got hit by this. I came up on like a nest of these things called fireflies and they, you're normal like Idaho fireflies or whatever they got. These things are like the most terrifying things. They stung the shit out of us, but you gotta sleep in hammocks with nets.
Starting point is 00:19:32 And they call it Lin-Fur-Ver, bro. After we probably hop off, I'll play you what it sounds like at night there, dude. It sounds like this. Brrrrrrrrr bear green hell. That's what French call it. Eerie, but oddly relaxing. You know, you're in a hammock and you're you've been hiking all day or you know, won't fit in the jungle. And now, you know, you're raised up. You're comfortable. It's unique. It's a very unique experience. That is unique Yeah, it is cool. You get it. You're soaked, bro Absolutely soaked. You can't carry enough water. Okay, we would have
Starting point is 00:20:14 three liter water bottles and Just fill we'd have water purification tablets And so just fill you'd go through three liters of water in like a fucking hour Holy shit so you'd have to consistently be refilling these things and putting water purification tablets and ideally hiking near a river or patrolling near a river. You can actually keep your water surplus like up. It's substantial.
Starting point is 00:20:37 So you have one completely wet pair that you just have socks, pants, boots, and that's just soaked. Then in your ruck, because you're carrying chainsaws and sledgehammers and shit, you're carrying a lot of heavy shit. And as the American, they gave me a lot of extra love too, so I had a little extra weight of stuff to carry. But in there you have a dry bag with dry stuff that you only bring out at night
Starting point is 00:21:02 after you kind of rinse off in the river and kind of like clean off a little bit. Then you'll put your dry shit on it, dude. Putting that dry shit on at night after you kind of rinse off in the river and kind of like clean up a little bit Then you'll put your dry shit on it dude putting that dry shit night, bro is like heaven yeah Heaven man you lay in your hammock. You're like, oh dude just having dry feet for like five seconds I love it like putting on the fresh laundry. It's a little warm. Oh, dude It felt amazing and then in the morning you're putting all that wet shit back on, because it's not dry.
Starting point is 00:21:26 And so it's like wet socks and pants and your shirt, you know, like putting a wet shirt back on. Yeah, it was good times then. You were like, why did I sign up for this? Dude, I was actually happy because working in the French War Legion is like a break because back at the regiment in France, dude, the French War Legion is like prison with a gun, man. It's strict, very strict, very formal.
Starting point is 00:21:50 It's a lot of pressure. Job satisfaction's not super high. It's a lot of guys that are from really poor countries that need to be there. Some guys running from the law, they need to be there. So it's a tough, it pushes. It's like an Eastern block. A lot of Eastern block guys are in leadership positions on the enlisted side. So you those dudes are fucking tough, man.
Starting point is 00:22:16 You got you got Maldovians, you know, dudes from Belarus. Yeah. Oh, you know, tough, tough places. And they push that culture down, you know. And so that's who's that's who's running the show as it should be. Not judging it. It just is like that. who's, that's who's running the show as it should be, not judging it. It just is like that. You know, that's just the reality of it. That makes sense. So you were the only American out there? There was one other American who was in my company who ended up going to Ukraine. So he ended up leaving his contract early and going to fight in Ukraine. He's still over there. Prior Marine.
Starting point is 00:22:40 Yeah, that war is still going on. Yeah. You optimistic about Trump putting an end to some of these? prior Marine. Yeah, that war is still going on. Yeah. You optimistic about Trump putting an end to some of these? Dude, strength is important, right? I think we see what happens with lack of strength.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Yeah. Right, and having strength and some competency back in the driver's seat is fucking nice to see, man. Yeah. And so I think it can only be net positive. I agree, because you were serving under Biden, right? I was serving under Obama or bomb really and by but I was in France for Biden. Okay No, I was I was I just got back last year like 11 12 months ago. I got back from France
Starting point is 00:23:15 So I've been in so I was under bite. So it was weird seeing the these last years From an outside perspective in Europe. It was odd. Yeah. How did they talk about what was going on? They were like, what the fuck's going on over there? You know, it was, it was weird because you're, you're in the French foreign
Starting point is 00:23:35 Legion, which is like the last bastion of anti-wokeness. Yeah. You could ever fucking imagine, bro, you talk about gender fluidity and stuff. And I'm not judging. I don't care. People live their lives, but you try to explain that to a Romanian who fucking is imagine. Bro, you talk about gender fluidity and stuff, and I'm not judging. I don't care. People live their lives, but you try to explain that to a Romanian who fucking is like, what? It's completely baffling. Like they're just not like connecting the dots on that shit. They don't understand it.
Starting point is 00:23:56 And so it was interesting to see also the political, France is pretty left, right? Oh, is it? Yeah. France is pretty less and they're having a really, really tough time with integration, with immigration and Marseille where I actually lived and close to was the most dangerous city in Europe. Damn. Like the last three years, dude, we'd be sitting there and they'd be burning cars, burnt cars in fucking Marseille, South France, gunfire AK dudes dying from AK
Starting point is 00:24:24 gunfire. I had no idea that that was going on. It's not like a war zone or anything, but there's areas that the police don't even go because the integration with the Algerians over there are so, it's the byproduct of imperialism, right? They're opening up the immigration. They were in Algeria. France was in Algeria for years.
Starting point is 00:24:42 26 countries in Africa speak French. A lot of people don't know that. I did not know that. France has had their piggies, you know, all over the world. And so back home the country is very, very social welfare. They push a lot of it and they're having a lot of hard times with it. Mmm. I wonder if they'll bounce back. Sounds like a lot of countries are under new leadership. You see Canada now. Well, the pendulum's shifting over there hard They had this woman over there. They called the female Trump that she was running for president
Starting point is 00:25:08 I don't know what her name is somebody will know if they watch it, but she's like blonde and she's hardcore man She's like being bring back the Frank. We're not using the euro to port everybody. You know she's one of those You know she went enough. I'm shadow. She didn't win this last time macro and won again, but did that that? Dialogue is going on right That extreme left and right is really, um, that extreme bipartisan view between conservatives and liberals is, is, is playing out in France also. Yeah. It's interesting to see how different, uh, politicians treat the guys in the military too. Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:25:42 Yeah. And I like to see the pride. I would, you know, what's interesting about France is we would do a lot of patrols through with guns and, and through villages. Like that's how our training would go. And here it would kind of raise some eyebrows, right? You saw, if you saw a platoon or a group just patrolling through your fucking neighborhood over there is like old lady with her baguette, like, ah, bonjour, you know, very, very different culture and definitely between a lot of old, because a lot of them were around, you know, maybe they were younger during the tail of World War II or some fight, but Europe has a, you know, they've been in it.
Starting point is 00:26:21 United States, man, so geographically isolated, people forget that there's shit going on and it's not a very kind world for the most part. And people get a little bit, our geographic isolation, I think people forget that. And over there, especially with the older population, but man, we would, they use the French foreign Foreign Legion and other units in France to do what's called Vigiparade, which is anti-terrorism internal domestic missions. They have such a high risk of terror events or terrorism in France because of, you know, places of worship, monuments and all this. They use two month sections. They would, for two months we would do these small missions, which was patrolling all these things in France, deployed in turn internal, which is illegal here. Like we, you know, you can't use the military to do that type of stuff here. But we would, I patrolled on along the Riviera, the beach with an HK. Damn. It full on came on people like, hey, you know, topless chicks like, hey, bonjour, like, merci, merci, they know you're French foreign legionnaires here serving in their country. And it's like a totally, totally normal thing. It's very normal to see that.
Starting point is 00:27:39 And so it was interesting. That's interesting. Because you do have it. They're very kind of left and you know, very Very tough laws around weapons and all that stuff in France, but then you also have this other Juxtaposition where foreign French foreign Legionnaires patrolling the streets Very odd the psychology of its fascinating because over here. It's the reverse you see a police officer you get nervous Yeah, you know, yeah that that that authority who knows why what why that is? Maybe we have some, you know, I think, I think it is our geographic
Starting point is 00:28:11 isolation and the safety that's created that we're like, what, why do I need this? Yeah. Cause we have no imminent threats. Yeah. Why does this, why does this authority thing to be here? Why does this guy with a gun need to be here? Other countries are worried about invasion. They got neighboring countries to worry about. Yeah. We're so, like you said, we're so far out of the way. We're not worried about invasions. Yeah, man. And it's important for people to remember that we, we are safe because of our big stick. Right. Right. We flex a lot of power and, and that deterrent's important, right? I'm not necessarily, I don't think we need to be in all these different countries spending all this money, but there is a line that I think is very important for us to maintain.
Starting point is 00:28:47 Yeah, there's always that debate of like, should we send foreign aid here? Should we send it there? Should we even get involved at all? Yeah. I mean, we're helping so many different countries. I think probably the answer, and I think Trump's mentioned it too, is we got to dial a lot of it back. Agreed.
Starting point is 00:29:00 I think that just be fiscal being fiscally conservative. I don't think should be a bipartisan issue. No Fiscal being fiscally conservative man. You you operate your home finances that way Right. Yeah, the government is a business right at the end of the day. Yeah, man. It's money in money out Yeah, and a lot's going out right now. Yeah, man. It's a lot going out, right? It's like who is that? Who was that comedian? He's talking about man. He goes we had a debt goes who do we comedian he's talking about? Man, he goes, we got a debt? He goes, who do we owe? He goes, fuck them, don't pay them.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Like, you know, it's funny, simplified in that way. Obviously it's not correct, but it's so funny is that we, you know, we're just driving this debt up and it's just not gonna work in a sustainable way. We got to have some intelligent leadership, man. That's why I'm excited for Doge, man. Yeah. I mean, I hate to like see people lose jobs, but let's be efficient. We have to be. And sometimes heads got
Starting point is 00:29:48 a role. Yeah. If you're not performing, I mean, I'm all results oriented. So like, if you're not performing, bye. Dude, it's absurd. People not showing up to work and the, the, I've, somebody did a rundown of how many government agencies we have or departments. It was like a new one has been created every year since the United States. Saw that it was in the 200s. Yeah. 200 something or maybe that's too much. You got cat fashion show department or some shit. You know, it's like, but really very odd things and spending.
Starting point is 00:30:19 And it's really if you if you don't have a department and some people who actually know how to get some shit done who aren't attached to the swamp directly, man, how is it gonna get done? You need somebody to come in with a fucking ax, man. I mean, it's disheartening because as a US citizen, as a taxpayer, I'm paying hundreds of thousands a year in taxes.
Starting point is 00:30:41 I would love to see that put to good use. Like guys like you or something efficient, but like the way it's going now, I'm not even excited to pay taxes because it's a waste of money. No, no. And that's not how it should be, right? It should be, we have a pretty progressive tax system. People pay a lot of taxes and they go fucking out the window. And you should have confidence in where your money's going. Should have confidence in your leadership. Agreed. Cause I would love to help our economy or whatever in our government
Starting point is 00:31:08 if it was actually being used efficiently. Yeah, if it was, yeah, yeah. But now everyone I talk to hates paying taxes, just being honest. Yeah, and that shouldn't really be because you should feel like you're in a partnership with the United States government and that things are gonna be spent in an intelligent way
Starting point is 00:31:24 and that just has not been the fucking case. Who knows whose pockets it's lighting. We know it's not going to the places it's done. Follow the money, man. I mean, the fact that the Pentagon or all these places, man, can't pass a fucking audit is really concerning, man. They're like, man, it's just a billion, dude. Just 10 billion. Just move a decimal, man. I mean, you carry the one, shit happens. It's like, nah, man. Like even down to military units, you have got to have your shit on point, man. There can't be things missing.
Starting point is 00:31:59 And that same logic should be applied all the way up the chain. Yeah. You see these movies and it's like these dark money operations. Do you think there's any truth to like that within the government? How funding all this weird stuff? Oh, fuck it. You think so? Yeah, man, I do. I mean, it's impossible to have that much money and not have some, some dark shit
Starting point is 00:32:20 going down, right? Not have pots of money that are being used for, you know, whatever. I mean, the Pentagon, he thought it missing so much money. It's just like where to go. Well, it's and it's not even like a small, it wasn't in like a trillion. It was a lot of something crazy, some crazy amount of money that is. It's. It's also concerning when you look at D.C level of wealth around DC, when it's mostly politicians.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Right. Right, you got Newsom, man, buying it, you know, this is obviously stateside, but you know, he's a $9.5 million house, he's the governor of California. I get you can own businesses, but there's just too much, there's too much overlapping questionable shit going on when it's they're not even trying to hide it anymore man It's hard to hide a house right? They're not even try to hide it anymore when at least before they had the honor to try to hide it man They're not even doing that anymore. I think because of social media to people on X are getting you so fast Yeah, dude, but that's the beautiful thing about social media people talk about you know the negatives But the positives are the transparency.
Starting point is 00:33:26 The positives are you get in, like you got a super strong platform. Bro, you can give direct information that you don't have to bow the knee to somebody. Agreed. Right, you don't have to bow, you can get honest information nowadays that, bro, before, when were you getting it?
Starting point is 00:33:42 You were getting it from five, six, seven sources, maybe if you were lucky. Yeah. I'm not owned by anyone. You're not owned by anyone. You don't got to bow the knee, man. Yeah. I'm independent. That's why I like shows like Sean Ryan. Do you know that show? Oh yeah. Yeah. So like he covered the Tesla Cybertruck blowing up in Vegas and there was a lot of disinformation until he covered it. Yeah. He found out what happened. So.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Dude. And that's, that's a beautiful thing. That is the beautiful thing about independent shit and it not being so consolidated. Yeah. He found out what happened. So dude, and that's, that's a beautiful thing. That is the beautiful thing about independent shit and it not being so consolidated. Yeah. Yeah. The decentralization of media and have guys like you covering so many different bases. Guess what, man? You get a full view of the honest vision. Yeah. When you're getting it from all these different people, all these different sides and your connections and who you can get information from directly It's powerful man. It's been great for guys like you. There's a lot of seals having success You know former military guys being able to finally share what they went through Yeah, man, and I heard you know, you'll get some negativity not from you know, all these different sources
Starting point is 00:34:39 You know, there's all that side of it, but you know people be like, oh Narcissism hopping on the thing talking I, man, you learn lessons going through hard shit. And so there's lessons learned when you're going through training, when you see certain things and get to push yourself certain limits. And that's important to share, man. What are you just supposed to sit on? Good information that could help somebody's life. And for me, man, I went from, you know, the seal community made a bunch of bad decisions. You know, I was arrested, went to jail,
Starting point is 00:35:08 went to jail before and I'm middle and after man, and got kicked out. You know, for, uh, performance enhancing drugs, you know, steroids and you know, I, I don't. Try to throw that accountability. I did it all. But in that process of kind of breaking my life down and ripping it apart, man, it took me to a suicidal point, man. I was in my truck, you know, thinking about killing myself two years after that, after working in the civilian world and things and business kind of fell apart and bad habits, alcohol, adderall weeds, you know, all the shit, man, and just not living correctly.
Starting point is 00:35:46 And being at that low point and then being able to build yourself back up and pull yourself out of it. And the process of what I learned in that and the steps it took, man, I want to share with people because there's a lot of people at that low point and I don't fucking want people to stay there. Yeah. You know? And so this mic is very helpful. I know. Platforms like yours are very helpful. And I appreciate you, you know, inviting me here, Sean, is, man, if you're in that point, take some certain steps of somebody who's already been there, pull themselves out.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Let me talk to you, right? There's that's the opposite of narcissism, man, right? I want to fucking share how to how to change not only your life, but your family's life. Leave a legacy of strength and resilience, not, you know, something terrible. Yeah. That's why I love having veterans on it. Cause you guys deal with a lot of mental health issues behind the scenes, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:38 yeah, you can inspire and help a lot of people. Yeah. And that's really the, you know, sure. You can use it for some, you know, beating your chest or whatever, but that's not the point. There's so much good information about for veterans and anybody who's going through tough, difficult times, transitions in your life, losing a business, divorce, like guys I work with a lot of those, you have the full slew death, all these things that you learn going through,
Starting point is 00:37:05 especially as a veteran that, man, everybody goes through and everybody can apply these same principles to live well, to live in an excellent way, to approach your day and try to master your fucking day, like the samurai would call it, right? And those, that universal wisdom, if we pull it into and apply it to this daily life of what we do, man, it works. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:27 It fucking works, man. Damn. I didn't know you got kicked out for that. So I had Dr. Mark Gordon on this show. He said guys aren't even allowed to use peptides or also get kicked out. Yeah, man. And so I was at a time, you know, it was a little bit more cowboy.
Starting point is 00:37:39 It was still against the rules though. Zero tolerance. I fucking knew it. And I did it anyway, you know? And so when I brought heat on myself, I had two bar fights and, you know, about a year apart from each other or a couple of, you know, a year apart. And I brought heat on myself and Navy Jag was like, fuck you. You know, I was getting out of it with good lawyers and stuff. And they were like negative, bro.
Starting point is 00:37:59 And so they sent my test to the Olympic testing center and fucking, I lit that test up like a Christmas tree, man. And you know, but I didn't fight it. I didn't deny it. And that was part of I took a general discharge. Right. And so because part of it was, you know, I wasn't trying to deny it or, you know, drag the thing out longer than it had to be. Yeah. And that was it. Right. And so now they're very strict on it and they've, I don't really have an opinion on it. You know, it is what it is. I just think it sucks because a lot of these veterans or guys in the military, they actually have super low testosterone. Yeah. All the explosions and mental damage and peptides can really help with that. Man, dude, they have doctors now and stuff and that. I really
Starting point is 00:38:39 think that hopefully, or I trust that the science will get pushed. I mean, you want guys operating at an optimum level, right? Some guys may think, I was doing it for selfish reasons too, right, I wanted to look better at the beach and shit like that, right? There were some immature reasons I was doing it too, but you are stronger, your immune system's better, you're a little bit more clear, you could operate a little bit longer.
Starting point is 00:39:04 So there's definite positives to it Well, this also super important as a male. Yeah, man, dude and guys are you know, sleep deprivation going through a lot of years of You know getting banged up man. I think it's it's important It's at least listen to the doctors, you know At least listen to the people who actually fucking know and are putting some good information out. Yeah It's crazy what I've heard what you guys deal through because you guys have to hide your injuries too or else they'll discharge you. Man, dude, I mean, you'll go through a med board pretty
Starting point is 00:39:29 quickly, but it's a tough game, man. It's a real tough game. You're operating a lot. You're trained. A lot of people don't talk about how dangerous the training is. A lot of guys die. It's not from combat. It's from training.
Starting point is 00:39:42 Really? Yeah, man. Jumps, drowning. I almost drowned in Mexico doing the G-20 Summit, doing Obama's Obama's thing when he was doing the G-20 Summit down there. I almost died. That was the closest I ever came to dying. What was that? G-20 Summit? Dude, it was 2012 and the G-20 Summit was happening in Cabo. Yeah. And they used a couple seal units. One was doing his like overwatch on land. And we, uh, my little unit at team seven was, uh, drew the short straw and we were doing the maritime extraction force.
Starting point is 00:40:13 So we were kind of like two miles out to sea on getting towed on these boats for about a week while off of Obama's little mansion, he rented at the fucking golf course, right? Holy crap. So while he was, they were worried about the cartels So while he was transiting They were worried. Okay, he might if he gets wrapped up and we need to like extract him via ocean We're gonna use some team guys and SWIC guys whatever what happened was see what had happened was a couple of a couple
Starting point is 00:40:42 Days into it a huge storm came in, massive storm, and we needed to like shelter inland. And dude, I jumped off onto this smaller boat or tried and hit the side, went in the drink, like full kit, weighted down. And yeah, man, it almost died, man. So you got knocked out underwater? No, I didn't get knocked out. I just hit the side of the boat and went in the drink, but I had my body armor M4 wired onto my body.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Damn. Six mags, pistol, backpack, radio, batteries, helmet, night vision, everything, dude, night. Holy. And I had like a water wing and not a lot of float, pretty much zero flotation and was trying to, was just treading water and like huge swells, trying to get away from the props of the ship and she,
Starting point is 00:41:28 yeah, it was pretty, two o'clock, three o'clock in the morning, it was hectic. You couldn't see. Oh dude, it was hectic. And so I was pretty much at mass exertion of, I was exhausted. It probably, probably wasn't longer than a minute though, right, minute and a half maybe.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Wow, waves were that intense. But I was just sinking, man. And then I finally got a hand by one of the homies. And he's like, you want a lift? That's what he said to me. And I was like, just fuck, dude. So just little things like that. We're on in Iraq.
Starting point is 00:41:58 I went to Iraq with Team Seven also and shit. But those are the times you go, oh shit, this is real all the time. Yeah. Right. Jump in and it's a dangerous gig, bro. Not to mention the injuries you sustain, you know, land warfare, carrying dudes, you're training hard. The brain injuries, almost every single veteran has brain injuries.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Dude, you're doing breaching inside of kill houses and training and you're blowing doors up and man that the percussion is very, very powerful. A lot. Yeah, the military Dr. Mark, he was saying just even firing bullets indoors around people is a mini concussion. Oh dude, it was, I mean, we're doing it all the time and then you're bringing C4 into the situation in enclosed spaces. You're getting your bell rung a lot man. You gotta get a brain scammer man. Yeah well they did man.
Starting point is 00:42:50 Oh they did? Yeah man and so they're like man you got some stuff. VA has done some shit on that for me but they're tight on it you know. They're like oh do you have this or you have that or what's it from you know. Well I don't know about the VA method because they're going to put you on pills right? They tried but I just I don't know about the VA method because they're gonna put you on pills, right? They tried but I just I don't take them man. Yeah, well I found in my life that my clarity is important, bro. And so anything that tried to dole my clarity, I don't know what your belief and faith,
Starting point is 00:43:14 but like, you know, whether you believe in energies or universal frequencies, man, if anything that kind of clouds that vision and that clarity, man, is I ain't about, bro. I'm trying to stay tapped the fuck in. Same. I try to stay natural bro. Yeah, try to stay tapped in because you know anything, anything that blocks that connection and stops that download coming and that those ideas and that ability to engage correctly, bro,
Starting point is 00:43:38 I'm trying to stay sharp, not dull. Agreed, have you always had the spiritual side to you? I've always known that there's a guiding force. Yeah. Since I was a child, I never lost that. I wasn't raised super religious. My parents actually exposed me to Buddhism. They were kind of raised cast,
Starting point is 00:43:56 but I went to meditation things and was pretty exposed to a lot of that stuff growing up and was just kind of told, hey, you can kind of, wasn't guided in any real direction. We went to church sometimes and stuff. My parents split up though. And I was raised by mom.
Starting point is 00:44:10 She was a teacher. So I was, uh, but very open-minded, but I've just have always stayed connected in the fact that I really truly think I'm on a, you know, and everybody has a divine design for themselves and their life. Right. And it's that, that, that authentic voice that speaks to us is like, hey Sean, hey man, let's do this man. Let's tighten this part up. Let's get up a little earlier.
Starting point is 00:44:34 Like there's that voice that, so I heard somebody say it the other day, it was called the, that internal advisor. I liked that, that internal advisor. And I get the chills when I think about that, man, because that internal advisor, anytime we go, nah, nah, man, we stack a little karmic debt on ourself, things happen, man. But if you stay aligned with that internal advisor,
Starting point is 00:44:54 things go well, things go generally pretty smooth. I love that, man. Yeah. Cause you start wondering, we could get deep with this, but like, where do thoughts come from? Yeah. You know what I mean? Oh man, we can get really high because I truly, thoughts are not nothing, right? And I don't think all our thoughts are our own
Starting point is 00:45:11 or maybe any of them, right? It's like, where is that coming from? Where is that, where does an idea come from? Right. I think it's pretty egotistical to think it's all internal, right, it's all my brain and this and that, man. I think there's more. I think so too.
Starting point is 00:45:24 There's more to it. I've come to the conclusion at this point that there and that, man. I think there's more. I think so too. There's more to it. I've come to the conclusion at this point that there is no original thought. Oh, that's powerful. Everything you've thought of, someone else has already thought of. Yeah. You know, because you go on social media, you see these videos. You're like, wait, I thought of that years ago. Yeah. There's an interesting documentary on this. That's called there's called the Telepathy Kids or something.
Starting point is 00:45:41 It was kids with really extreme forms of. Mental challenges and kids that can't talk or nonverbal and stuff. And they were hooking them up to brain scans. And I don't know how they were figuring out, but there's like this way they communicate or something happens. And, and it's interesting because a lot of them were aligning with like, we're here. Our our whole focus here is to experience things and upload things to a collective unconscious.
Starting point is 00:46:08 Whoa. Yeah, dude. And I was like, whoa, because what is that universe that that collective unconscious? It's all human wisdom and experience that's like uploaded into what? And they were getting into like, you know, alien. It was kind of getting in, but it was very interesting because it kind of checks out. We're here experiencing thing, energy, what we're happening, war. Think about thousands and thousands of years of human experience.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Where's it all going? It's not going nowhere. Man, it's getting uploaded into this collective unconscious that we can all tap into when we're really aligned. I could see that. I think we are all connected in some way, man. I agree, too. We're all the trees are connected. We're not we're not something here.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Alan Watts, who I really like, says this about. We're not something here experiencing something apart. We're not apart from we're gold dust where you are me and we're this fucking table. You know, we're all just this, this intermingling. We're perfectly connected with our surroundings. We're here. We're supposed to be here. You are the universe's right ability to become conscious of itself. Very powerful stuff. When you, when we, when we break down really what we're here, we're the universe being conscious of itself. And, and the fact that we know that, and when we tap into that, we're fucking empowered, right? We're very empowered individuals that
Starting point is 00:47:37 when we get depressed or whatever, when we're depressed, man, we're being very selfish. And I'm saying that from my own perspective. Anytime when I was in like my suicidal state, what brought me out of that was when I heard what I call God was this authentic voice be like, you pussy. Think about your inner dialogue. If you play your inner dialogue right now, Taylor, it was me, me, me, I, I, I, why is this? Oh, that poor me. It was like fucking me, me, I, I, I. Why is this? Oh, that poor me. It was like fucking boo hoo.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Man, you have a sister, you have a mom, you have people that care about you. What legacy are you leaving? What devastation are you leaving for them, right? Get out of yourself. And that's when I decided to go on the Foreign Legion. I love that. It was like, that was the moment
Starting point is 00:48:20 where I just fucking was like, you know, I gotta get out of myself a little bit. And I suggest to anybody who think about that is zoom out, think about your internal dialogue and that goes positive and negative, right? Make sure your internal dialogue stays, you're conscious of it. Keep it positive, deliberately positive if you have to.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Not a fucking cheerleader, right? You don't gotta be, you know, but deliberately positive and conscious about what your internal state is. Yeah, dude, I love all that. Yeah. Also, whenever I feel a little disconnected, I get out in nature. Ooh, I like that. It connects me so well. I'm sure when you were in the jungle, you must have felt some peace like you were saying out there. Well, we get disconnected, man. Just even physically from we're separated with rubber on our feet from the ground, right? Even grounding your feet on some grass and get touching a tree, right?
Starting point is 00:49:06 You're getting connected back with that, that mother energy that is, you do not have the ability to do it if you're in the concrete jungle all day. You just, when are you gonna touch anything real? You know, you're gonna touch it. When's the last time you touched a tree, you know? Or put your feet on some grass.
Starting point is 00:49:23 It's one of the side effects of living in a major city, right? Yeah Yeah So it makes sense why people have neurosis, right? It's neurosis and Issues psychological issues. It's rooted in a couple things Lack of being connected with nature in the right vibrational thing and pain avoidance Pain avoidance is you know comfort seeking right if you're constantly comfort seeking and detached from nature, bro, how could you be in a, in a good psychological state, at least in a sustainable way?
Starting point is 00:49:55 It's fucking impossible. No, it is. You see a lot of people with cubicle desk jobs, not in touch with nature. They're depressed. Dude, it makes sense. Makes sense. Dude, you're depressed, right? No sunlight, vitamin D deficient,ient sodium deficient micronutrient
Starting point is 00:50:07 Efficient not connected with nature not internal dialogues dog shit, right bro You're fighting against the tide no you're making it almost impossible To live in an optimistic lens or see the world in an optimistic way yeah, and that's not even mentioning purpose right no Not even not even talk about what you're doing. Yeah, right We're not even talking about really daily habits yet those things stacked on top, bro in if they're negative is It's truly impossible to live well in that way. I don't care how much fucking money you make it doesn't matter It's not gonna do it. No, I agree. I've seen people that are worth billions. Yeah aren't happy. Yeah, man
Starting point is 00:50:44 I'm like go put your feet in the ground, bro. You know what I mean? I love that, man. Grounding's super important. Even in Vegas in the desert, I find some grass when I can. Yeah, do it. Yeah. Hey, bro, get out there and put your feet on some ground, man. Feels amazing.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Yeah, it does. Feels so good. Yeah. When you were in the jungle, did you see any UFOs or any weird alien things? Dude. It's kind of weird you say that. I saw some shit. I don't know what it is. I don't know about aliens and I don't know about this. I do, for the record, think that the universe is so big

Starting point is 00:51:52 So it's very dark out, right? If it's like, if you're in the desert and you put, you think you see the stars, wait till you put night vision up and look up at the stars.

Writing a book, a little bit about the story, Navy seal to jail, to French foreign Legion and kind of that whole redemption arc, what I learned in that French foreign Legion barracks, which was. I'm still not happy now. And I was looking at what's the next mercenary group and what's this.
Starting point is 00:53:40 And like, what is, I'm going to like, dude, where does this end? And I realized that my happiness wasn't attached to something external. There's no fucking title. There's no other unit. There's nothing. It, I had to learn how to be okay with just me by my validated on just my daily habits. That was a really groundbreaking thing.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Cause I could, you can, nobody could take that away from you. People can take your badge. They could take your money.
