I haven't even David Pacman guy. Right. He was on there. He had just been slandering me all over YouTube. I haven't even heard of this guy.

I think he was getting a little jealous or something. It was quite funny. He was saying that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden aren't pro-trans when it was Kamala Harris's VP that was putting tampons in men's bathrooms. It's pathetic. I called him out on that and he looked pretty embarrassed on air. Yeah. All right guys, Bo is back. We're at Amfest. Great event so far, right? Phenomenal. Yeah, Turing Point definitely does it right. With their events every year,

it's a pleasure to attend and I'm glad they have me out to all of them because it's a great time. It's my first turning point event, first MFest, and I am very impressed. Yeah, 100%. They don't mess around with their stuff. You know, they take their budget, they put it where it matters, and they get some of the greatest speakers, the greatest shows all in one place, and they make it really fun. Yeah. How long have you been involved with Turning Point?

Can't say exactly. I think it's been about like three, three or four years. Nice. I've been coming to their events, you know, as long as I can't say exactly. I think it's been about like three, three or four years. Nice. I've been coming to their events, you know, as long as I can remember. My mom was one of the first speakers at all the original Turning Point events when they only had like, you know, 200 attendees and things like that. And so yeah, it's been great, but we've, we're, my family are lifelong, you know, friends of Charlie Kirk and partners of Turning Point. So it's great.

Yeah, the growth has been insane, dude. I think they played a massive role in this election as well. You saw him going to so many campuses. Did you ever go to campus with him? I would love to. I think I had an invite when they did it with Bryce Hall in Arizona. But yeah, I couldn't make out I was doing something else. Yeah, I would love to sometime. Also, I'd love to go to campus with Cliff Connecly as well.

That'd be a good one too. Another buddy of mine. Yeah. I saw, did Charlie go to NYU? I don't know if he did. Not sure if he did yet. That would be interesting. He should have had a Harry Sisson over there.

That'd be fun to see for sure. I saw you on, I think, Piers Morgan, right? You were debating some people. Yeah. So there was that David Pacman guy, right? He was on there. He had just been slandering me all over YouTube for like once. I haven't even heard of this guy.

And he was like, Oh, this guy does not deserve to have a platform, uh, on Fox news and stuff like that. I think he was getting a little jealous or something. It was, it was quite funny. But, um, he was saying that like Kamala Harris and Joe Biden aren't pro trans trans people when it was Kamala Harris's Joe Biden aren't pro-trans people. When it was Kamala Harris's VP that was putting tampons in men's bathrooms. Yeah.

So it's pathetic. I called him out on that and he looked pretty embarrassed on air. Yeah. Pac-Man's always looking to stir something up, you know? Yeah. It was fun. Same with all those debaters like Dean Withers. Oh yeah. Yeah. These chat GB2 users who think that they're good. They're good debaters. Have you had one of those guys on? I've had Harry on. I would have Dean on, but it's hard to say if they're like paid off in some way. So I want authentic opinions. Well, they definitely are because you know, we had the whole beef with them in Bryce Hall and then Bryce was

like, are they really paid? He was asking me. I'm like, yeah, here, I gave him the transcripts and posted it out to Twitter and that went pretty viral. So they were getting paid through a company, right? That's how they get around it. Yeah, through a pallet media, which are, well, I mean, you know, we're in the social media game. Everyone's managed by a company or has some company they work with. I'm transparent about it. If you ask me, I'll tell you. But for them, like they completely lie and try to cover, but they both have pallet media emails and it's all on the FCC and everything's reported. So like crazy. You can't lie about that. You can't hide about it. You've had a busy week,

man. What you've been up to? I've been moving around a lot. This week has been one of the craziest weeks of my life from, you know, I was at Mar-a-Lago for my buddy's event. And he's a big time hedge fund manager, Michael Lehman. I'll give him a little shout out. But it was a great event and it went super well and then after we went up to upstairs and we talked to President Trump for a good while while he was at dinner with like Elon and Tim Cook and some other people. That was really cool and he introduced me to Tim Cook and stuff like that. He was surprisingly nice. He was a nice guy. He was cool. We were talking about the iPhones.

He was trying to tell Lee Greenwood why he should upgrade his iPhone. Nice. So yeah, it was funny. Was Bezos there? Because I heard there was plans on Bezos and Trump meeting. Not when I was there. I feel my buddies saw him though. He was there, yeah. And that's cool that he's not even present yet, but he's already taken these important meetings. Oh, yeah. And he was doing it before before the election was even over. He was meeting with

Zelensky. Oh wow. And he was doing things like that. Like he was being more of a president than the actual president. So I love seeing things like that. And he's already, you know, he's not wasting any time. He's not even office yet, but he's setting everything up now. Right. Well, that's smart because four years is usually not enough time to see the results, you know? No, yeah, definitely not. And that's why he's an action president. He's a president makes promises and keeps them. So that's why he's going out and he's getting it started now. So were you at Mar-a-Lago on election night? Yep. That was their election night. That was really fun. I spoke to... Get ready for Las Vegas style action at BedMGM, the king of online casinos.

I was there with Colby Covington. Um, I just got back from his fight as well. My, and my view is a robbery. Uh, I think it was, it was a doctor of stoppage. I didn't think it should have been stopped. I think it could have kept going, but, but it was, I saw that that was a shame to see, um, cause he looked fine. Right?

Yeah. I mean, it was, it was a Colby as someone that's trained with him, he has the most incredible cardio and stamina of any person, any human. I'm not just even saying that. Like everyone has all this stuff about David Goggins and no disrespect to David Goggins. He's great. But I think like, I think Colby could easily last like a David Goggins course or whatever running miles with him or doing whatever. Cause he has insane stamina, cardio like you've never seen. Train with the guy for two hours straight, no breaks, no pauses. We're all be 10 guys dead on the floor exhausted and Colby hasn't even broken a sweat. So like that's his thing. So he may have

looked tired and I talked to him. Yeah, he had blood in his eye. It was hard to see. But other than that, he was ready to keep going and he was ready to turn that fight around and then the doctor stopped it. And he had said that never happens. That wouldn't have happened in Vegas. Hopefully they do a rebouch, you know? Yeah, that'd be really great to see. But you know, interesting about that fight, you know, we had a buddy at Traxx NYC, the jeweler, he's massive on social media, but we parted up and he made Colby this custom Trump chain. It's kind of like the one I'm wearing now, but much larger scale. And it was, he took the chain like this and he put a dark MAGA hat on it. And then he took the ear and put a diamond ear patch and blood on the face from when Trump got shot and put rubies as the blood. Wow. And we put that thing, it was massive and it was a real beautiful piece.

And we took it and we gave it to Colby, they gave us fight and he wore it out. So it was pretty sick. That was going pretty viral online. You know, Dana White posted UFC ESPN, everybody, it was everywhere. As someone who's still, you're 18, right? Yes sir.

So you're thinking about going to college. How do you feel about the department of education potentially being removed? I mean I think it could definitely have a lot of positives because there's so much propaganda being put in our schools nowadays and things like that. I'm gonna go to college for sure I think. You know maybe like Liberty University in Virginia. I like their school a lot. I'm doing their online program right now things like that. So I'm gonna go to college for sure. I think you know, maybe like Liberty University in Virginia I like their school a lot and doing their online program right now things like that. So But I'm gonna go to law school there as well

And I think you know, I'd like to just I mean there I'm not as worried about it because they're pretty good Christian concerted college But you know, it's sad seeing all these kids, you know starting in the school age They don't get enough attention from their parents and then get Brainwashed by their schools and then more brainwashed in college and then they come out as some tool over society. Well, a lot of these degrees, let's be honest, are pretty useless. You're going for law school. That makes sense. I'm going for a reason.

I wouldn't just go to college to go to college. That's the problem. And that's why Charlie Kirk is a great example. This is a guy who didn't need to go to college. If he was going to, maybe for business or something. But obviously he did fine without it. And he has one of the biggest companies, one of the biggest political companies in the entire world. And he's killing it. And he didn't need to go to college. He didn't need some degree in art or whatever to get where he is today. And

actually would have held him down a lot. And he might not be where he is today. Absolutely. Because he would have had a four-year delay. 100%. He got started young. He started in his garage. He talked to an amazing man, Rest In Peace, Foster Freeze, and got some investors like that guy to help boost his company. And it did phenomenally. And I couldn't be more proud of him and everyone else that understands they don't need to go

to college for certain things. If you have your idea and you're ready for it, start it now. Don't waste time in college. Absolutely. His video crying on election night was, it made me tear up, dude. Yeah, that was, that was, that was heartfelt. Cause you know, that's, that's again, he's a man who's worked really hard for this. And like so many of us, like my mom, my mom was one of the original founders of the tea party and,

and someone like her, like, I feel so blessed. I'm even in a position to fight with for this because I know how hard she worked just to put me where I am. Yeah. I mean she from starting on a radio show to doing several of her own shows across networks and Fox News and she was defending President Trump on TV since the very beginning. One of the first people early like 2015-2016 defending him on TV and she didn't even know that he noticed but then she met him in 2019.

He's like you're my hero. Wow. You defend me on TV and I've seen it. And you're one of the only people who's stuck by me. It doesn't flip. I love that dude. That loyalty is hard to find. Especially for Trump and 16 around that time, like not many. And he doesn't forget. He doesn't forget. He knows you're loyal to him. And he knows you're a friend and an ally. He remembers you and he picks you out

in the crowd and he always comes up. So you always ask how your family's doing, how I bless you. It was a really, really extraordinary man. That's super cool. What type of lawyer do you want to be? Do you know yet? Um, yeah, probably constitutional. Nice. Yeah.

I think it'd be good. What do you think the biggest changes we should look into for the constitution are right now? Uh, well, number one, making sure it doesn't change. Uh, they're trying to add and remove a lot of things in it. And I think that's not right. And I think it needs to be more upheld in society. And we also have to remember that America's founded on Judeo-Christian values and that this is a country that is

based on Christianity. And I'd love to see more of that. And I don't, people get really scared when I say that I'd love to like implement a lot of the laws of the Bible, even some just more, because one, a lot of them already are in our constitution, but more of it. So not the ones that force it. Cause Christianity is not a forced religion. If you're forcing that religion, you're already not following it. Um, but I'd love to implement more laws of the Bible and make America more known as a Christian nation.

And people like get scared when I say that, but there's plenty of nations that follow one religion. Yeah. You know, like all these nations like Dubai that enforce a lot of the laws of Islam and that. So I don't think, I don't see any reason why we couldn't. And it's just, it would just make our society much more, I mean, lower crime. It would make us a much more moral citizens. He would be good Samaritans all around. It'd be really good for our country.

What do some of the laws of the Bible look like? The most basic ones of like, you know, you know, marriage between a man and a woman. Uh, you know, if you want to go and, and, and do your thing with your person, that's fine. Um, but I think marriage particularly is something that is, is a Christian thing and it's, it's sacred between a man and a woman. You have a priest, so are you guys at, and is married. So I think something like that is, is between a man, a man and a woman. Another big one is sex, no sex before marriage, right? Things like that.

Yeah. I think that could be, that's rare these days by the law in our country. That's so my place. I would, that would help our country as a whole. Yeah. Which degeneracy and things like that, that would sell. I mean, you see it with the OF movement, all this. I mean, it's kind of hard to do a law like that, but it could be the kind of thing, you know, where we could, you know, figure out kind of like paying for child supporters up like, do that. I know what we're going to do. Do any countries actually have that in their lives?

I think it's very frowned upon. Like I think it's certain countries if it gets found out that you did, like you'll get like stoned. Some of these like, cool, I think it's foreign countries, bro, you know, it's and say things like homosexuality. And you know, in these foreign countries like Palestine. I know that. Yeah, I definitely know that. Yeah, so. You do a lot of travel in other countries. Yeah, I do a lot of traveling and mostly I just go around and I just meet people and network and things like that. I mean, again, this week I was saying I was a met Sylvester Stallone.

I had the pleasure of going to his house and talking to him for like an hour or two hours. That's a legend. His life and his career. And he is a really extraordinary guy. Like he's really nice, really humble. A lot of these celebrities, they're so full of themselves. You know what I'm talking about. You know what I'm talking about. It's all ego. It's all, oh, I'm Mr. Important. But you sit there and you talk to Salon and he's the actual most important celebrity out of in the room. And he's the guy that I can just sit and talk to for an hour and he's just super chill, super

humble. I was talking about he has life and career I learned some really cool things talking to him and things like that so well his story about the first Rocky movie is crazy he had to give away his dog I asked him about that I said is that true is that whole thing true and he's like yeah but there's even more lore like apparently the guy wanted to be in the movie for the second one too and he made that a stipulation oh really back at something like that like there's all these crazy stuff. Wow. It was crazy.

Yeah, the man had to give away his own dog because he was so broke. Yeah, it was really cool. Really cool to talk to him about all that stuff and just learn. I love talking to, you know, my elders. People are much older than me and they just learn about all the life experience and wisdom they have. That's smart, man. I always gravitate towards an older crowd myself. 100%.

A lot of wisdom. Yeah, it was great. I also met Mike Tyson this week. I've been friends with his daughter and the family for a while. Nice. Um, but I hadn't actually bumped into him personally yet, but he was at Mar-a-Lago and we stopped and said hi and, uh, yeah, he was another one. Really nice. Super humble. People don't know what Trump did for one, you know?

Oh yeah. I mean, he got him out. Yeah. Same, same with him. Same with Dana White. And that's why all these guys respect him. And they're so close to him is because mean, he got him out. Yeah, same with him, same with Dana White. That's why all these guys respect him

and they're so close to him. It's cause again, he's not this evil dictator. And I was telling a protester this outside actually. There's protesters out there? There's one. Can you talk to them? There's one, and people were posting it online. I was like, Bo Loudon's outside turning up.

Oh, why, I didn't see that. Protester, it's on my story, it was hilarious. But I was talking to this guy and I'm just telling him like, you realize this man is not Hitler. I'm like, look at the things he did in the eighties where he was paying off people's mortgages and he was doing things like taking care of Dana White and attending his events and putting it on at, I think it was like one of his Trump properties. He put on an event because the UFC was about to go bankrupt or something like that.

Like it's crazy. All the things he did for these people. And he just did it out of the kindness of his heart. And it wouldn't even like get in the news until like a month later or two months later, however long, like Trump would just do something. Like there's that one man who, um, I think I believe he stopped someone like from killing themselves on a bridge and, uh, Trump just sent like 10,000 or 20,000 a mail to pay off his mortgage. It's just like, there's things like that. And that happened all the time. The guy's like, Oh, I don't believe you that didn't happen

I like I'll show you and he's like, oh wow, I did. Okay. Well, that's nice of him, but I still don't like him Dana's the same way. I know stories of him that haven't hit the media yet, but of him really helping people out Oh, he's great. I was just when I was at the UFC fight in Tampa for Colby we went after backstage to see Colby after the fight, but Dana came and he was walking through. He stopped and said hi to every single fan in the crowd. They were all... He signed everything, took a poll with all of them. And I watched him. I was like, is he going to come in actually?

And they're like, no, he's out there. He was literally talking to all of them and getting pictures of whatever for like 30 minutes. That's dope. Yeah, because a lot of people insulate themselves once they get to a certain level. And when he's like at that level, like the CEO, like he can do what he wants. He can go and, you know, he doesn't even have to attend events or do things like that. But for him to do that and still care about the fans and be like that, it's respectable. He's always been really nice to me. He's a good guy. Did you see Ellen left the country? Ellen DeGeneres?

I did not see that. She lives in the UK now. Ellen DeGeneres. That's great. That might be a little before your time, but she had a huge show. Yeah. No, I know. Believe me. I know. Yeah. She's, well, she's in all that Diddy stuff. She was having kids on her show and saying, let's bring out Diddy. LeBron's not looking so hot right now. Oh no. Colby called him out during his fight. He was saying that LeBron, I want to know what you mean by there's no party like a Diddy party, you know? Tell the people. And then LeBron's now he's hiding all of his stuff. So I think it's weird. It's a weird correlation when all that stuff going down, lots of celebrities were leaving

the country and doing weird stuff. And now that all the Diddy stuff's going down to the same pattern. I hope they released the Epstein list. I saw DiCaprio and in a Casa Cipriani in New York. Yeah. I was sitting at the table next to him and he was like kind of had like a hoodie over his head. He's all hiding. Oh I bet he's low-key these days. He's seen very low-key so seeing stuff like that is hilarious. I mean he's on some of these lists. I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah, yeah definitely. To get to that level in Hollywood, you got to owe some people favors.

100%. And I've been in the areas, I know enough stories, you know, some I can share, some I can't, but like there's so much corruption in Hollywood and a lot of stuff they say about all of it's very true. I'm glad some of it's getting exposed though. Definitely. I think I think enough of it. I mean, I think if it all gets exposed, honestly, people won't even know what to believe anymore. But I think if enough gets exposed to the point where we stop idolizing these people that we just think are so great, you know, that's good. A lot of their charities are just things for them to launder money.

Oh, a hundred percent. Like they're just they're not good people. Yeah, yeah. They should look up to people like Colby Covington or Dana White or Trump or people like that that actually do good things behind the scenes and don't just do it for publicity stuff. I call it the celebrities do. Yeah, you gotta be careful. You don't need to charity

where it's not super publicized. Yeah, absolutely. Well, dude, it's been cool. Where can people catch up with you? All social medias, at Bo Loudon. That's B-O-L-O-U-D-O-N. Perfect, sounds good. Thank you for watching, guys.
