BED-MGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. It's being so heavily pushed to get in trans things. A lot of people, people don't realize there's a lot more young girls are saying they're trans than boys. So they're going through this uncomfortable period through, you know, I don't know a boy I can't relate but I still went through the uncomfortable through puberty But I guess girls really get some hard when they you know start developing and stuff and that's where a lot of these girls are Switching over so having a hard time fitting in finding identity

All right guys Jake Schultz is back man a lot of drama lately Yeah, it's been a busy, exciting week, all kinds of stuff going on. Jeez, I know you're- They're gonna be back too. Yeah, and I wanna start with the Bryce Mitchell stuff, cause you had all those guys on your show individually, right?

Yeah, well, Bryce and Rampage, they're both friends of mine, and I'm also friends with Bear, the other cohost of Rampage. So that was, you know, I gotta word this pro, I like all those guys a lot, but I saw that some clips in the interview and I really didn't like it. It sat really bad with me, you know? So I first, I think I called up this, I like all those guys a lot, but I saw that some clips in the interview and I really didn't like it.

It sat really bad with me. So I first, I think I called up Bryce and I was like, man, that sucks when they talk to you. Like why, and Bryce is a great guy, like they're great people, they treated me with respect. I'm like, okay, that's good. Cause Bryce's situation where rather you agree or don't agree with what he said,

he can't really defend himself right now. So it's just not fair to sit there and like, berate someone when they're already down. But I have tremendous respect for Rampage, friend of mine had on my show, you know, so I texted him and I can share any private conversations, but we had a little conversation. I think publicly he said, you know,

he doesn't really care what Bryce says. He had some, he was pressured by someone to treat him like that. And Bryce needs to understand, you know, who he might be working for later. But Rampage is a great dude. And then Bear, also a guy I like, but I thought he did a terrible job handling understand, you know, who he might be working for later, but Rampage is a great dude. And then Bear, also a guy I like, but I thought he did a terrible job handling it, you know?

Bear actually called me after I talked to Rampage, kind of freaking out and I'm like, Bear, if I'm honest opinion, you look like an absolute fucking, you look terrible. You know, you look like so fake and authentic. Like you might not agree with what Bryce said, but in the scheme of things, you don't really care that much.

You ran into him a bar, you wouldn't treat him that way. You'd still go talk to him in person. So you should have either canceled or not braided him like that. I understand your perspective, you're coming from, and he agreed. I said, I don't think he's a bad guy. So learning experience, I go, is what you should do

is I would immediately delete the episode, call and apologize to Bryce and then apologize publicly. So he did delete the episode. I'm not sure if he called Bryce and I don't think there's no public apology. But again, you know, I think a lot of people are just bashing that guy. If you need to realize the world is complex, you know,

I think he did a terrible job, but he's not a bad guy. It's like a learning experience, you know, and he did realize he fucked up. And same with Rampage, if they're giving, same with Bryce, all these guys, people are giving him shit. Like Rampage, you know, people need to make money. You have kids to feed. And people are calling Bryce a coward

for not defending himself. But it's like, he has tremendous respect for Rampage, one of the guys he watches, the kid. So he's in a tricky situation. You know, he has a new kid he has to feed. So it's, the whole episode was a complete shit show. It was taken down, you know, but again, there's three people that weren't bad people

who just sometimes things turn shitty. Yeah, Bryce taken down, but again, there's three people that weren't bad people which is sometimes things turn shitty. Yeah, Bryce took down his episode too, right? That was his first episode that started all that. That was the first episode. Imagine starting off like- The first episode of his podcast. Oh my God, that is so funny. Like, you know.

No, and Bryce is just a good dude. And like, you know, this whole Hitler thing, yeah, it sounds absurd, but people need to understand where that's coming from. That's not coming out of nowhere. You know, in the last 18 months, people have watched, you know, Gaza just be completely bombed, slaughtered.

They've seen Israelis like, you know, celebrating, laughing at kids with arms blown off. They do like boat tours that you can go and watch them get bombed at night. Be serious. There's literally a boat, you can look this up. I don't know where you looked up at, but it's definitely, it's just a real thing

where they have these boat tours. Well, not now, because it's ended, where they'd go out at night and you could watch Gaza being bombed. And they take their kids and stuff. And they were charging people to do that? Yeah, and they take their kids, there's like a family outing

and like drinking beers on the boat thing. Like, yeah, crazy shit. There was like, did you see like, they got caught, separate subject, but they were, the IDF was gang raping prisoners in the torture centers and they got caught. Wow. So they made some arrests just for PR thing.

The people that are rioted, got the gang rapists out of prison, you know, and then one of the guys went on TV and did like a tour talking about it. Politicians were defending raping people. So they're doing the shit that we were told the Nazis did. And then we see them lying lying like 40 beheaded babies, mass raves, all debunked.

So people see that. And then, you know, Hitler was 80 years ago. We don't know what's true, what's not true, but it's making people question it. And these guys are doing what they said they do. So it's not coming out of a vacuum, you know? The truth is awesome, complicated. So it's, there's a reason why things are changing.

And I'm not sitting there saying Hitler's a good guy. That's at all. I'm just saying people need to understand where this shit's coming from. It's a reason why things are changing. And I'm not sitting there saying, Hitler's a good guy at all. I'm just saying people need to understand where this shit's coming from. It's not coming out of thin air. And then a few days after Bryce's incident, Kanye just popped off about it. I mean, that was so nuts. That was, Kanye is an artist people need to realize,

you know? And I think this was a well-calculated, thought out like performance art. I don't think this was him going insane. This is, you know, exactly what he's doing. He came out of nowhere right before the Super Bowl, just tweet after tweet after tweet after tweet, puts a commercial on the Super Bowl,

I think like what, $5 million? Looking for the ultimate online casino experience?

BetMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. There's on an iPhone, terrible commercial, easy.com, strips the floor down and puts swastika shirts. Absolutely insane, you know? But this is, you know, not random.

This is thought out, planned, calculated. He knows how to just take the tension, suck it up all for himself. And he also, most importantly, knows when to walk away. Cause if he stayed here, people would get sick of him. Look, two years ago when he popped out, went on his thing, it was the same thing. This, this, this, pushing, you know,

maybe a little too extreme, but he's pushing some real issues and he's coming from an emotional standpoint. He doesn't know all the points, but he's, he feels he's an artist. So he's been screwed over by multiple, you know, Jewish people in the record industry. And he doesn't say he hates all Jewish points, but he's, he feels he's an artist. So he's been screwed over by multiple, you know, Jewish people in the record industry. And he doesn't say he hates all Jewish people. He's just pointing out who did it.

And you know, of course I'm not going to say the swastika things I agree with, but it's pushing the Overton window. It's pushing what the boundaries of acceptable are. It's making these, it's making people open up and have these conversations of maybe the, maybe the story of World War II is not exactly how we told it was. That doesn't mean guys are good. Maybe it's a little more of a, from a young age,

it was taught black, this is the most evil person ever. This is, you know, this was good versus evil. And the truth of the matter is maybe a little more gray area mixed in there. Well, overall, philosophy wise, I don't believe in good and evil. I don't believe it's just good and evil. I think everyone has both. Yeah, no, it's true. Some people definitely lean a lot more towards the evil and towards the better. So I'm not gonna say all people are equal with their good and evil,

but I think even evil people can do great things. You know, whether Hitler was or wasn't evil, one thing about him, he was a huge animal lover. He was a vegetarian. He was the first person, first country in the world to push massive animal rights things, you know? So he's obviously have some, some good aspects about them.

So even most bad people can have, have good aspects. Wow. I didn't know he was a vegetarian. Yeah. Huge animal rights advocate and everything. He was trying to push vegetarianism and that's, so it starts, people get blurred with what's true versus what's lies and propaganda. There's the famous saying winner's right history. And he was written to be the most evil person

that ever lived. And people are just starting to question that. Like we have like Mao and Stalin, both communists, allegedly Mao killed 50 million, Stalin 20 million. People can like praise these people and not get ostracized from society. But if you say anything about Hitler, you're ostracized. So like, people start to be like, well,

why can I praise this guy, but not that guy? And I don't think anyone should praise Mao or Stalin, but I'm not gonna like sit there and lecture someone who does, you know? I had a guy on my show, a communist, who was like pro-Stalin. I didn't, I disagreed with him, think he's probably wrong, but in his mind, he doesn't believe Stalin

did those atrocities. So I'm not gonna sit there and berate him, call him a bad person for what he believes. And we should be able to have these conversations. People should be able to challenge and be like, maybe Stalin, maybe some of it was exaggerated. Maybe some of Mao's was exaggerated. Now I'm not making the argument it was,

but we don't really know the truth about history. And you can debate every other genocide except one. And that's just what people I think are getting fed up with. I can see that. Did you see Shopify took down Kanye's story yesterday? Yeah, disappointing, you know, cause it's like a free speech, you know, I know that's the extreme end,

but we will decide what shirts they wear, including like you gotta let go of the pass at some point, you know, that Swasco sign originally was like, I think a Navajo sign, it's still used, I think a Buddha sign as well. Like if you go in Asia, you'll see it all over the place. So you have to let go. And also like the whole lifting your arm a certain way

being you're a Nazi, it's like, come on. They did that with Elon. Yeah, it's like, you gotta realize, you know, this is 80 years ago. It's you can't say you can't lift your arm a certain way. You can't have this sign. It's just time to like let go of the past. People don't hold, there's no other dictators

that they hold their signs forever. And it just shows you the same people run Hollywood, the media, they came in with this barrage and just pushed this, it's the one thing you can't question. And I think it's, people are just fed up and I think it's the boomers versus the zoomers. A lot of these people, they haven't caught up realizing we're not living in the same world as 18,

a lot's changed in 18 months. Israel has really shocked the world with their brutality and a lot of young people are seeing it on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, these things. So they're seeing that these necessarily aren't the good guys. But it's tricky, because you don't wanna lump in to Jews are the bad guys either,

because it's a whole group. So these are like hard, tricky, complex topics and discussions to have, but they need to be had. Absolutely. You confident in Trump that'll put an end to that war? No. Really? Not really.

I think he's, he took a hundred million dollars from Mary Alderson, which is, she was an ex-IDF soldier, Israeli citizen, gave him a hundred million dollars. I don't know how this is legal, but plus tons of money from AIPAC. I think he's definitely, Netanyahu seems to have a lot of power over him. So he came to the White House,

Trump went and pulled out Netanyahu's chair for him, gave him the key to the White House. Netanyahu gave him a pager in return, which to me kind of seemed like a sign of, we'll kill you if you get out of line. Damn. That's how I would take, you know, an Israeli person handed me a pager.

What? After the attacks they did, and then you say, you know, Trump was literally pulling his chair out. Like, I don't know, I don't pull out chairs for other men, unless it's like a grandpa or something, or a person I have a ton of respect for. And I think the fact that he was pulling out his chair,

pushing it in for him, it shows, I don't know what's going on with that, which is unfortunate, because I like Trump, you know. I wonder if he does that with other presidents and other leaders. Good question, I don't think he does, but that's actually a great question. Someone should go back and-

Yeah, we'd have to find out, because maybe it's just like a polite thing to do. He has, cause I think people would have came up with a video showing it, cause he got mocked heavily on Twitter for it. But I can't say with absolute, hundred percent certainty that he never has. Did you see Aiden Ross ask Vivek about APOC

when Vivek came on his stream? I did. I can't remember exactly what he said. I saw the clip real quick. He kind of- He gave a political answer, you know? Yeah, I know. APEC's a huge problem.

It's not just APEC, but Israel is the only foreign lobby that doesn't have to register for foreign lobby, which is weird because it's literally a law about it. JFK was actually trying to change this right when he got shot. The head of the IDF happened to be in Dallas right then. So that APEC is a huge problem.

Foreign countries manipulating our democracy and they donate to both sides, the Democrats and the Republicans. It was like, whoever, it doesn't really matter who wins. We're giving billions of dollars to Israel every year and they give us nothing in return, not a single nuts. They're our top spy threat. They've attacked our ships and killed our military.

They've, you know, they've staged false flag operations. The Levant fair, if you could look up, it's like they don't offer anything in return. It's like an all one way relationship. Do you think that will change? Cause Elon announced recently, he's gonna start investigating politicians that have deep pockets.

Did you see that? Yeah, I don't think it's gonna change under Trump and Elon. Really? Yeah, cause Elon, initially he said some negative, a few negative Israeli things about them slaughtering kids. And then something happened where he kind of went out, he apologized, he flew to Israel, got walked around

and berated by Benjamin Netanyahu. Then he flew to Auschwitz, got a walking tour. Really? With Ben Shapiro. Wow. I don't think he believes it, but something happened to make him a, a suck up to these people.

It's not probably some big government contract, you know? That's crazy. That's weird though, because someone like that, you think can't be bought off because he's got so much money. Yeah, it could be that. I mean, it could be blackmail too. Israel runs massive blackmail operations.

Really? Jeffrey Epstein was an Israeli blackmail. That was tied back to Israel? Yeah, every aspect of that ties directly back to Israel. Holy crap, I didn't know that. Mm-hmm, I know, because the media doesn't cover it. Wow. Yeah, so they'll say, oh, it was a blackmail operation,

but they never say for who. Every step of it. Do you think Diddy had a potential tie there too? I think, what sounds crazy, most likely you look at his producer, I think was it, I'm getting into make sure not mix it. I think Clive Davis is his, cause they're all the producers of the hip hop,

we're all big Jewish moguls. Yeah, this way it gets tricky. It's not all Jewish people. It's a very small group of like the elites that are manipulating things. It becomes tricky conversations. So it's like, okay, but with all the record, all the hip hop industries,

pretty much all Jews running it. They're the ones that push the gangster hip hop, NWA, bringing the inward back to popular, pushing black people to kill each other, making it cool. Yeah. I just saw you talk about this. You had a black nationalist on your show. He was extremely interesting, yeah. Yeah. You two got along though. Yeah, you know, like he always respects me.

I don't care if he likes white people, you know, he doesn't have to like white people if he treats me with respect. That's the thing, you don't, I don't have to agree with people on things. If he treats me with respect, you know, like I don't care if he dislikes white people, he treated me good.

And he had lots of interesting, I'm open-minded to listen. So like I'm hearing sides of the black side of things and black history and so many great insights. I'm willing to talk to people with different opinions as long as they're polite and willing to have like a real conversation, not like a slimy,

like Weasley like Destiny is just gonna, is not sharing their real opinions. Yeah, Destiny's been going through some stuff, man. He does some bad stuff. He's accused of wiretapping his place. Jeez. With girls who you have like wiretapped and filming their conversations.

What? I think sharing naked pictures of girls that he'd had, like sending to other people. And it's like, yeah, he has some serious allegations. Damn, that's not good. He always gets canceled though and bounces back. He's one of those guys you can't really cancel. Yeah, but he's, I could just feel the energy.

The dude is a slime ball and just being around him. I was gonna go on his show and I'm glad I decided not to. I'm like, you know what? This guy's giving me creepy energy. I'm not with him. Then I sent him to the hodge twins and I felt bad about that. I think I got good numbers,

like, yeah, that was our worst. I mean, you can't deny that he gets numbered. Yeah, but they were like, it was a terrible interview. He was so slimy, not being honest. Damn. I just like having honest conversations. I should probably start debating more and stuff, but it's like, you're not being real.

You're trying to like win a conversation. You're trying to win an argument. It all means you're not trying to find the truth. all means. You're not trying to find the truth. I like talking to people, trying to find the truth. Like talking to, like I said, I'll talk to a communist, you know, I disagree with it. I'll talk to a Nazi, you know, I disagree with it. Yeah.

I just think I've had like a white nationalist on and people start yelling Nazi. I just had a black nationalist on. It's literally the exact opposite. Clearly I'm not a black nationalist. I just kind of enjoy talking to extreme personalities, trying to understand them, hear their perspectives. There's ways to debate intellectually,

I think on Piers Morgan, it's just for show. There's not really much productivity on that. Yeah, because you're not like actually trying to understand each other. No, you're trying to go out to each other. Yeah, you're just trying to win by all means. And you only have like 20 seconds to talk. Yeah, that's really tough.

Because there's like five people on it. Yeah, at least if I'm gonna do a debate or at least need like an hour, so you can try to like really understand each other. Yeah, does the new executive order Trump signed around anti-Semitism scare you at all? It's really concerning, yeah. Because like we have a free speech

to criticize everyone equally. And then anti-Semitism, it has no clear definition. It's just, it's not hating Jews. That's not the definition of anti-Semitism. The definition is being critical of Israel. It's talking about Jewish control, like me pointing out that all the record labels are mostly Jewish, the Hollywood, the media companies.

Pointing this out is considered anti-Semitic, even though it's true. You know, saying Israel controls America, like saying bad things about Israel is considered anti-Semitic. So when they can pass an executive order saying you can't criticize a certain group or country, that's insane.

Yeah, I think you should be able to speak facts. You know what I mean? If you're giving data and numbers. No, exactly. But then it could even include that. I think you should even be able to say hateful things. That's the first amendment. Like I don't have to, you know,

people don't have to like white people. Someone should be able to say, I don't like white people, white people are shit. White, they do say this all the time. White supremacy, white cause-poses this. And they should be able to, even though I don't agree with it. You know, people who spoke to racist against black people, which I don't agree with, but it's in our constitution.

They're taking this one group and saying you can't criticize this group, and it goes beyond that, because there's no, it's not even saying you can't dislike this group, saying you're their whole country, we're talking about their control, and that kind of proves the point of they have separate rules.

They have like, I don't know the exact number, I think about 30 states, you can't boy, if you're working in government, you're not legally allowed to boycott Israel or Israeli goods. Whoa. There's no other country that has this. You can boycott America, other states, but you have to sign this petition,

work for the government so you can't boycott Israel. Why? Like how is this beneficial to America? That's interesting. Yeah. We, we gave them all these weapons. Trump's talking about ethnically cleansing Palestine to give to Israel. That's insane. Like imagine if Trump's talking about ethnically cleansing Palestine to give to Israel, that's insane. Like imagine if Trump was talking about ethnically cleansing Mexico.

Like everyone would be like, what the fuck are you talking about? It's just nuts, cause Kanye went hard and that was after the order was signed. So I wonder if he's going to be the first one they go after. It's going to be very tricky to uphold cause the first amendment, that's what's great about America. The Supreme court has to go along with it.

And I'd be shocked if they do, because it's very clear we have the right to criticize even hateful speech. But criticizing Israel isn't hateful, you know? I think it's hateful, them bombing children. That's a good point. You still got to get through a lot of hurdles, right? Yeah, I mean, things are complicated in America. Good and a bad thing, there's the huge, you know,

the checks and balances, the Congress, the president, the Supreme Court. So you can't, president can't come in and just totally change things. Yeah. I think it might've passed Congress though, which is kind of- Oh, it did? Wow.

Who'd be wrong about that? That was fast. They moved fast for Israel. Yeah. The first thing when the Johnson was put in charge, it was the house. The first thing he did was going past money to give money to Israel.

Wow. Mike Johnson? Yeah. Damn, that guy gets a ton of hate. I can't believe he's still around. He deserves the hate. Yeah. He's terrible. He was getting hate when we were at Amfest.

I think he signed, I forget what happened, but he didn't even show face at that event. Yeah. He's clearly just like a weasel, you know? Yeah. It makes you wonder how many of these guys are paid off in Congress. A lot. You think it's a lot?

A lot. And a lot by Israel, but there's other factors too. There's pharmaceutical companies. Yeah. Bernie Sanders. Yep. That's crazy. Pharm too. There's pharmaceutical companies. Yeah, Bernie Sanders. Yep, that's crazy. Pharmaceutical. That's wild that he's like one of the biggest. Yeah, super ironic, right? He teaches this and they give him like,

I think he was the highest. Him and Elizabeth Warren, I think were the two highest paid people, so hypocritical. And they were calling out RFK for trying to like make everyone healthy. No, and RFK is great for America. Again, I don't like his stance in Israel, but he's great for the medicine.

And again, I'm not anti-pharmaceuticals, but we way over prescribe them. And lots of times they can be damaging. It's all about making money. Like the healthcare system should be about finding the root of the cause. Instead, they just want to give you pharmaceuticals and keep you a customer for life.

Cause you make way more money. Exactly. I'm sure you got offered painkillers when you were fighting. Oh yeah, painkillers, doctor surgeries. I've had zero surgeries, but every time I go to a doctor, they try to give me a surgery. That's rare for a fighter not to have any, right?

Yeah, it is, because they don't listen to the doctors. Jeez. You probably have some nasty injuries, I'd imagine. Yeah, completely torn my ACL, which you're not supposed to be able to recover without a surgery, and I'm fine. Damn. So three doctors told me no way it could recover.

It was a bad injury, it took me like six months of rehabbing it, but the rehab from the surgery was a nine month recovery. So it's like. So it's actually more, it takes longer to recover if you get the surgery basically. Yeah, it's tricky. Cause I'm not gonna say all surgeries are bad,

but I think, you know, probably 78% do more harm. When they cut, open you up and cut inside of you, you're fucking yourself up a lot of times. Yeah, damages you. Well, look at people that have like knee surgeries. They often get them again. It's rare that someone has one surgery. Same with back.

No, like all these surgeries, yeah, back, shoulder, people get three and four surgeries. So clearly the surgery is not fixing the problem. In most cases, there's exceptions. Yeah, you've always been pretty holistic. I know you're vegetarian, right? Yeah, vegetarian, yeah, I've been a lifelong vegetarian, you know, for multiple reasons. I feel healthy this way, right? Yeah, vegetarian. Yeah, I've been a lifelong vegetarian, you know,

for multiple reasons, feel healthy this way, but also like animals a lot. I think factory farming is like disgusting. Disgusting. I'm not a fan of slaughterhouses. Most slaughterhouses. People turn a blind eye to it because they don't want to see what's going on.

It's like, I don't prefer hunting, but that's so much more humane and stuff than they need to pass some laws where they can have the cows a little more free range. They're just like stuffed in together. The pigs are stuffed in where they can't move. They take them at birth, the slaughter methods. It needs some improvement, but it's an uncomfortable conversation.

Most people agree that it's, you know, unless you have no empathy towards animals, you'd agree it's disgusting, but they just don't want to talk about it. Because they're not exposed to it, I think. And if you try to like expose it on a media, they'll censor it. Yeah, I think it And if you try to like expose it on a media, they'll censor it.

Yeah, I think it's actually a felony if you work those places and you film inside the- Yeah, I had a guest do that and she's on ankle monitor, everything. Just for filming. I was about to talk to that person after I was all, get the information. Yeah, I think she might even be in jail now, honestly.

Wow. She went to Purdue, I believe, the chicken one. Yeah, I don't know anything about that story, but you're not, I know it's super illegal if you work these places to film what they're doing to the animals. She didn't even work there know anything about that story, but you're not, I know it's super illegal if you work these places to film what they're doing to the animals. She didn't even work there. She was trespassing, but she got some videos and yeah.

Yeah, construed. They don't want people to see what's going on there. That just shows you it's not, you know, if you do it, the problem is it's more expensive to buy the, Buy the helmets. Way more. It's like triple the price. But yeah, anyone that has money, you know, should definitely do that.

Yeah. It's gonna be more humane stuff into your bodies and your kids. But it's tough with the price. But yeah, anyone that has money, you know, should definitely do that. Yeah. It's gonna be more humane stuff into your bodies and your kids. But it's tough with the economy right now. I understand people are struggling. Like I'm doing well and I'll look at the prices sometimes at the grocery store and I'm like, what the hell? Crazy, right?

I gotta think, do I wanna buy this? So what if pay people, you know, if you have three or four kids to feed, it's tough. I'm dropping hundreds every time I go to the groceries now. Yeah, it's insane. And I don't have kids yet. No, like I said, we're uncomfortable. We look at it and go like, what the fuck?

So imagine people barely getting guy, a couple of kids, if you have like one income, it's like, so I do understand why people get frustrated out there. Yeah, I mean, that was a big selling point with the past election. Yeah, no, that was the biggest one for Trump. And it's like, I do think he's better for inflation, but I don't think he's as good as people think.

I think he also, he printed and overspent a lot, just like Biden, and overspending is the biggest problem inflation because it causes us to print more money. People don't understand, it's like, it's not just the taxes, it's when they print more money, more in circulation that directly caused inflation.

Everyone acts all dumb, like, oh, we don't know why things are inflated. It's like, we know exactly why, it's because we're printing more money. They slowed it down though, right? It slowed down right now. Thank God, man. Cause I saw some crazy thing where like a million dollars

a hundred years ago was worth like 40K. I think, yeah, I think like a hundred years ago, I think it's even more. I think like 20,000 would be more than a million today or like. Yeah, it's crazy. Something stupid. Yeah, since like the Federal Reserve was, since the Federal Reserve was created in 1913. Yeah. That's when they started

building to inflate money. Yeah, I think it was somewhere around like $20,000 would be worth a million equivalent. It basically showed me like saving money is stupid. Yeah, 90% of the, yeah, you have to invest. So if you're sitting, money's sitting in cash, you're like losing money. It's like the worst investment just to hold cash.

Yeah, and it sucks. Sometimes if you don't know anything about investment, you don't know. Like when I first started making money as a fighter, I didn't know I'd do my money. So I'm just sitting there losing. You know, a lot of people don't think they know. They don't know anything about investment, you don't know. Like when I first started making money as a fighter, I had no idea what my money was. So I was just sitting there losing. You know, a lot of people don't think they know.

They don't know what to buy. So it's complicated. Yeah. Did you figure out a good system for investing though? Yeah, I do now. I put it different places. Like I don't give people investing advice. Like I buy individual stocks. You got Derek Moneyberg in your corner, right?

Yeah, he actually helps me out quite a bit. I do some stuff on my own, but yeah, Derek Moneyberg helps me. Who is Jewish guys by the way. No, that's not the way I'm's not, I work with Derek Moneyberg. He's like one of my really good friends, we've worked together for years, we're super close. And people are like, you hate Jews.

I'm like, well, look how loyal this guy has been to me and I'm to him. So that's why I gotta be very clear, it's tricky. Oh, and the Jews are good with money. Yeah. No, but the investing is hard. People that don't know, if you go buy in stocks, that's why I tell them just like, you can buy the S&P 500

and it'll just kind of follow the trend of that. It's probably better than picking individual stocks unless you know what you're doing. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I personally love working with Jewish people in business. Yeah, I know it's- They know business well, they know money well, like they're solid, you know?

Like I say joking, but also, you know, kind of true, like, oh yeah, I have Jewish friends, my countdown, my attorneys. No, Jewish and Asian people are great at like money, saving money, making money. Yeah, I know Asians are great at saving, making money too, that's true. I think Indian Americans on average

are the wealthiest in America. Oh, and it's kind of, people don't like this because it kind of spins the white supremacy narrative on the head of like white, you know, what they're, it's not being pushed anymore, but a few years ago it was being pushed so heavily. White people bad, that's why they kind of hated Asians because Asians and Indians are outperforming white people.

Even like people from like Kenya and these countries that are black that come in, they out earn white Americans. So it kind of spins the whole racism as the cause of people making less. And obviously again, like anything it's complex because these people have came from a tougher position, but it's currently it's not the racism that's holding them back.

So maybe it comes from a long history of racism, but it's not the current issue. Yeah, did you deal with a lot of racism growing up? No, I grew up in an area that was mostly white, Native American, a little Mexican, so there was no real racist issues. And I think the time was a little less racist when I grew up too,

because there was a few black kids at my school. They were treated totally normal, you know? There was a funny situation, I was thinking back when BLM was hitting, you know, everyone was going crazy. One of the black guys I saw post on Facebook, he's something like, I never felt racism at the school.

I was always treated as one of the guys. And all the white girls were on there trying to tell him like, you were racist. They just, you know. And it's like, dude, he's literally telling you he was treated like one of the guys. He never felt like he was treated differently. And it's like, of course it's literally telling you he was treated like one of the guys. He never felt like he was treated differently. And it's like, of course it's not to say racism didn't exist.

Of course it does. But as a whole, it didn't seem like in my time period and growing up, it's probably one of the least racist time periods ever. Everyone was getting along great. They'd make jokes and stuff sometimes, but then it got repushed with BLM and all that to kind of reset.

Yeah. Yeah. Back then you could say the R word, you could say like, you know, gay. Yeah, but people would be like, well, that's the thing too. Yeah, like the funny thing is like, you know, for F calling people a faggot, I don't think you have to blink that. But like we'd call each other that,

but there was a guy that we knew was gay at school and no one would call him that. Like we didn't like pick on him because we knew he was actually gay. And so if we would understand, we use these words not to like actually make fun of gay people in the retard, we're not actually making fun of people with Down syndrome.

It's like the way people talk, people get too sensitive with it. And I'm not saying I can't understand a little bit. Like if you had a retarded kid or Down syndrome kid, you'd probably not like hearing that word, but it's not how people mean to use the word. Yeah, I see on social media, people are like, they're basically saying like, you know how they say there's more gay people now,

basically? They're saying that they're more open to admitting it these days. Do you agree with that? That's a little bit of it, but I think it's actually, I think it's heavily pushed on the kids. I think they're,

cause you know, my daughter went to Marin High School, one of the most liberal high schools ever. And it's being so heavily pushed, the gay and trans things, that a lot of people, people don't realize there's a lot more young girls are saying they're trans than boys. So they're going through this uncomfortable period through, you know, I don't realize there's a lot more young girls who are saying they're trans than boys. So they're going through this uncomfortable period

through, I don't know, a boy I can't relate, but I still went through the uncomfortable through puberty. But I guess girls really hit them hard when they started developing and stuff. And that's when a lot of these girls are switching over, so they're having a hard time fitting in, finding identity. So with all the inflation going on, are you investing in anything right now?

Oh yeah, you have to be investing. Otherwise your money is losing worth and it'll be worth nothing since, you know, since the last hundred years, dollars lost 98% of its value. But you gotta be careful with investing. I don't like to give people investing advice, you know. I work with like Derek Moneyberg, which you know, a Jew.

You know, a Jew, but he's, he's helped me quite a bit with investing and stuff. And it's, for people who don't know though, I don't like to give advice. I'll just say, if you're gonna buy stocks, just buy the S&P 500, because typically it goes up. So it's better than buying individual stocks unless you really know what you're doing.

A lot of financial advisors, they're trying to buy what's trendy. When something's trendy, you probably already missed the wave. You gotta get stuff early. So buying individual stocks is a really tricky, sometimes buying stuff that's out of, that's not popular too is what you wanna do. But you have to make sure you're really doing the research.

That's why I'm lucky to have a guy that I can discuss this with so you better really be paying attention. And it's also, psychology is sometimes an investing too. It's like following up, not necessarily if the company's good, it's what you think's right. Tesla's a good example. I was buying Tesla when all my friends were shorting it because they were looking at the financials saying

it didn't make sense. But I was thinking, okay, it's a good product. Elon Musk, I was thinking it was gonna keep going up. And my friends were shorting it and they all lost a ton of money. I made money on it. So the psychology of it, you have to factor in. So yeah, investing's tricky.

And then you add in companies like BlackRock. They're buying up the number one. Them and Vanguard, they're the top buyers of almost every stock. So they could completely crash the market if they want. They're also the top buyer of Bitcoin now, I believe. And even scarier, that no one's hardly going to talk about they should be, a big, big deal

is they're buying up houses like crazy now. They're driving up real estate markets. That's part of the reason why the real estate markets are spiking. And then they're renting them. The more houses that they buy, the more they'll drive the market up, and the more they can raise rent. It'll be, you know, they have that quote,

you'll own nothing and be happy. That's what they actually want. I think they need to pass laws banning that. The fact that you can, these giant corporations can buy up all their homes and then the family can't afford a home. It's ridiculous. So you think companies like BlackRock

and Vanguard should be banned from buying houses? I know that's controversial, but absolutely. You know, you can't let these, they're buying thousands of homes at a time and they can come in and bid over the asking price and drive out, you know, families that are trying to buy a home. You know, families out there struggling,

saving up, trying to get money for down payment. They can just come in and offer 20% over and it doesn't matter to them. Yeah. Cause they're looking at the long game. So they can come in and just swoop up thousands of houses and Artiflish officially drives the market up. Yeah.

And also psychologically, I used to rent a lot. There's a lot of fear when you're renting because you're like, oh, I might get kicked out. They might get a new owner, a new occupant, you know? So it's not a good way to really live in my opinion. Yeah, I know it depends. Especially once you have a family, you know, not seeing going and moving around and stuff

wasn't really a big deal. Hopping around wasn't a big deal. But yeah, when you have a family and stuff, it's stressful. It's super stressful, man. People need to look though before buying real estate to really look at the other side of it. It's just like a lot of upkeep. There's extra costs.

You still have to pay, you don't only own the home, you have to pay property taxes. Right. To me, property taxes is the biggest scam ever. I bought this home and they're saying, I still have to pay on it. I had a friend's mom who actually, I think it was in like New York or something,

where they drove the tax up on her property. She had to sell her home because she couldn't afford to pay the taxes. That's just wrong. And that tax is supposed to be used in the city, right? Yeah, I don't know. But who knows? I believe so.

There needs to be a better way to track how they're spending that. Yeah, I don't think if you own a home, you should have to pay. That's my opinion. A lot of people don't realize too though, when you buy a home, typically you get a 30 year mortgage.

That means if you can't make the payment, the bank takes it back. So I am pro real estate, but I think people need to look at the cons too, instead of just buy, buy, buy. Sometimes they can bite you in the ass. And you know, I have a couple of real properties. It's a headache, you know,

I need to get a company to manage it. Like trying to manage homes, people calling, or clogged toilet or something. It's, people don't think about all these factors. Yeah, it's a lot of work. So the first time you came on the show, you called out Ben Shapiro Since then Brett Cooper has left his company now getting more views than him. Have you seen that?

That's awesome. I keep hearing the name Brett Cooper. I don't know who she is. Oh, really? I didn't know she'd get more views than Ben Shapiro. That's awesome. Well, Candice is getting more views than him, too Candice is crushing it. They fired her and I think she's someone said she has like more subscribers than the entire daily wire And she's just she's bigger than the whole Daily Wire now. That shows you too though, the one thing you can't criticize was Israel. You can criticize America on the Daily Wire, but as soon as you criticize Israel, fired.

I'm not sure of the Brett Cooper, I don't know who she is, what she says, and why she was let go, but it seems a little suspicious as well. Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see if they change the way they operate. It's gonna be hard. I think they're kind of formed to support Israel.

I think that's the whole purpose of the Daily Wire. I think they're a dying breed. These are things are changing and changing fast. As you can see, the Daily Wire is not that popular anymore. Yeah. I had a subscription the second they fired Candice, I canceled it. Really? So you used to be a subscriber to them.

I didn't really watch it. I just didn't cancel it because I wanted, I think I signed up when they hired Gina Corona, who is a friend of mine, actress. They hired her when she got fired, for I don't know if she got fired even, oh, for a pronoun joke. Back when they were trying to push that whole, I think that died out.

That was Trump and everything they're pushing. But that was like a thing for a while, like Hollywood, you're supposed to say, him, he, or she, her, it's like, I can look and see your dude. I don't need your pronouns. That's just so stupid. Yeah, I liked the concept of Daily Wire,

just education, you know, especially with the children. They were showing children good programming. Yeah, that's why I subscribed. Even though I never ended up really watching it, I'm like, I've never canceled my memberships. I'm like, you know what, I wanna support this organization. I saw that and I'm like, oh, I don't want any part of this organization.

Do you think that was from the start of their inception, or do you think later on they just got so big, they started getting crazy money offers? I think it was from the start. Really? A lot of these organizations are planned from the beginning, you know? Wow.

A lot of them are planned in Israel, especially the conservative media. If you look at them, it's all like Breitbart, perfect example, they were founded in Israel with Netanyahu, Breitbart, and who else is that? I think Ben Shapiro, that's where he came from. So these organizations a lot of times are planned, Israel pushed in, funded,

well, our tax dollars go to Israel and they fund these new organizations where you can't be critical of Israel and then we funnel more money to Israel. So it's kind of like, it's a scheme of we're giving the money to both their country then we keep giving them more money. Dude, it's pretty nuts

because knowing what I know now about funding, like if I had millions of dollars, I would know how to go so viral. Like with these clippers, like you could pay these kids to just make clips of you all day and just blow up. Right, no, that's the crazy part. You realize things are changing really fast.

Like, you know, having a podcast, we have to realize it's like, not a lot of people are watching the long form content now. I personally very rarely do every now and again. So that's what I realized our podcast, I'm like, oh shit, you gotta get like clips and this, and there's different social media. So it's this, like anything,

you have to pay attention and follow the industry. Absolutely. Same thing with fighting. I fought for 20 years professionally. I had to follow trends, see the new things, see what people are doing. So now I'm starting a podcast, knowing nothing, you realize, oh, you're not just sitting there

for two hours a week conversation. There's so much more work to it. Yeah, if you don't have clips these days, you're not just sitting there for two hours a week conversation. There's so much more work to it. Yeah, if you don't have clips these days, you're not gonna make it as a podcast. No, I mean, there could be some exceptions. The guys, well, the guys have already made it, like Joe Rogan and stuff. But even him, he's posting clips.

Yeah, no, yeah, yeah, it's true. And you definitely couldn't come out new without doing that. Yeah, not at all. Well, dude, where can people find your podcast? Rumble, YouTube, Spotify, Apple, a few other places fight back podcast. It shields, you know Jake shields AJJ Twitter Jay shows an Instagram Fightback podcast is the new storage launch with merch all kinds of you know, who fight t-shirts political t-shirts Stuff like that. Perfect. We'll link below. Thanks for coming on, J-Man. Yo, see you guys. (*clicking*)
