Starting point is 00:00:00 We got a big boy today. It's a big-ass white boy. Ian Smith, welcome to the show, man. Thanks for having me here. We first came across few, it was back during COVID. That entire experience for COVID was such an out-open experience for us. It's true for you. They keep screwing people over and they're destroying their own identity politics sort of narrative, right?
Starting point is 00:00:19 I mean, at one point, you got arrested for opening his chin. And I bet you the abortion clinics were open. They sure were? Absolutely. That is nuts. I actually started running for Congress. And that was the stupidest idea I ever had. But I'd say that.
Starting point is 00:00:31 I dramatically underestimated the level of fuckery in politics. Like you think you know and then you see it from that level where there's so many layers to that rotten onion that we have. And it's on both sides. And it's, oh, it's on both sides. There was ever another mandate. You think people will fight against this time? Another COVID or something. Because people are waking up.
Starting point is 00:00:52 I think you would have a lot more resistance. It would need to like actually be a deadly thing. Yeah. Yeah. You think Trump's going to take this election? He should win it easily, I would think. There's a number of states where you don't need a 90 to vote. Right.
Starting point is 00:01:05 We've got an immigrant invasion going on. Right. Do you Israel at this point of state? How many civilians do you have to kill to defeat Hamas? Right. How many babies have to die for Hamas for you to win? Exactly. This episode is brought to you by optimal human.
Starting point is 00:01:25 Yeah. It's 100% American made. 100%, man. 100%. It's all in one nutritional drink. It's got over 90s. of ingredients. It's gluten-free, all-natural, soy-free, and dairy-free. It's launched it on May 3rd. So if you want to be the first

We got a big boy today. It's a big-ass white boy. It's too big. Ian Smith, welcome to the show, man. What's up, guys? How are you? I'm doing pretty good. How about you? Good. Thanks for having me here. Thanks for coming.
Starting point is 00:02:06 Man, that beard is so long, you're starting to look Muslim up in here, bro. Yeah, like, we got Arab, right? Yeah, all of us. All of us are like A-Rab. We need some fucking turbid. That's probably, that's probably going to be the synopsis of this podcast by the end of that. Yeah. Yeah, but we first came across you.
Starting point is 00:02:25 It was back during COVID. Yeah. And you was in that battle against the New Jersey governor. My boy, Phil Murphy. Yeah. And I was just, that was that entire experience with COVID was such an hour open experience for us and true for you. And it's like, what do you think was that ultimate goal when it was going against your gym like that? Well, going against our gym, I think in particular, it was more of making an example out of.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Right. You know, in the same way that you see what they're doing with the January 6th protesters, which with, you know, anybody who defends themselves on the subway, you know, they're trying. to, I think, set an overall tone that, like, you're going to listen to what we say. Right. Or we're going to crush you, you know, and we're, we're going to do it in whatever way we please. You know, but I think the ultimate, so that's why things got so crazy is because we just kept saying no. Right.
Starting point is 00:03:19 You know, so these people don't know what to do when you kind of, you chin check them, right? When they push you and you push them back. Right. And that's why it got to the, like, the point where we were, like, taking doors off of the hinges and, you know, the gym's open for 24-7. And then we had kicked plywood doors down after they poured them up. And, you know, it got to the point where it was lunacy because we just kept, you know, they'd stick their finger in our face and we'd stick their, you know, our finger right back.
Starting point is 00:03:43 But I think the overall goal, especially with the COVID lockdowns was, I think that was just step one of really the kneecapping of the middle class that we now see today. I mean, look at look at how hard it is for just your average family to get by. You know, middle class is pretty much gone in this country. Yeah, well, they're on the ropes. You know, they're definitely on the ropes. And it's all of the things that COVID set into motion are now coming into full fruition where, you know, you've destroyed a generation of small businesses in an environment where it's already hard. Small business is already hard. You guys are entrepreneurs.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Oh, yeah. It's not easy to bet on yourself and to make your own money. And this country was once a country that was, that was the majority, it was people who were, they were self-employed in some regard or another. Right. slowly, but surely you see a complete flipping of that. And COVID was like the knockout blow. I mean, generations of small businesses went out of business, never to come back. And now you have more and more people working with the same corporations that will happily sort of cooperate and twist your arm to make you do things that the government tells them to do.
Starting point is 00:04:50 So, yeah, it's a, COVID was an attack on the middle class. Yeah, majority was from the left, you know. And I find it so disingenuous when they say, you know, you know, I'm sure you're facing censorship we have on Facebook. And their biggest argument on left hole, you can't tell a private organization how to run their business. But then getting still, they tell you you can't open your fucking jail.
Starting point is 00:05:12 I was like, it's the biggest hypocrisy I've ever seen in my life. It doesn't make any sense. It's like everything they say is just a walk-and-file to see those people. Their ideology on government just lacks logic on government just lacks logic in all facets. Yeah, and it's like people in your gym,
Starting point is 00:05:28 these are like people are in great shape. And that was the biggest factor that defeated COVID. The people that died from COVID was fat fox. They had one foot in the grave. Yeah. Yeah. If you was healthy, you didn't have a problem with it. And it's like at the time you was trying to close your gym down,
Starting point is 00:05:42 you could go in Walmart and shop. Yeah. You could go out and do all your shopping. But for some reason, people was in good shape. You could go to the liquor store. Yeah. You could do all these things. But people working out in the gym.
Starting point is 00:05:52 People was buying Dildos on Amazon. I said that wrong. How you say Dildo? DillDo's. I said DillDo's. A deal-door You gotta say quick, yeah It's like they've been over backwards
Starting point is 00:06:06 For the big corporations But for the little man They didn't care Yeah Like for us we didn't have much Pushback because we just came to the office And went and go Nobody told us what we can do
Starting point is 00:06:14 Yeah But I remember in the other And we was in another office I remember my headdresser She couldn't go to work They closed down a business She went out of business Yeah
Starting point is 00:06:23 And that was probably A woman who either provides For her family In cooperation with her husband Or whatever or is providing for herself or is a single mother. Yep. And she's a black woman.
Starting point is 00:06:34 But they swore to, you know, protect. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, that's kind of the one, I think, upside to COVID and then everything else that has kind of passed as a result of it is like they keep screwing people over and they're they're destroying their own identity politics sort of narrative. Right. Like, you know, say, you know, hypothetically, this black woman, she was probably a Democrat voter. at one point, at one point or another. He probably is a Democrat.
Starting point is 00:07:03 You know, and you screw these people over, and the way that they screw everybody over, it starts making people start to think, at least. You know, and now this woman's like, wait, you know, these people that I vote for just ruin my business. You know, just set me back six months or whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:07:22 You know, so there's an upside to it if people are conscious enough to look around and wonder not only like what, happening to them, but who's doing it? Right. I think it's the most important thing. What's sad about that, a lot of people, it's not conscious.
Starting point is 00:07:36 No, people are like pretty much brain dead. I remember at one point, you got arrested. Yeah. And for opening it's gym. Yeah. I think you were, I think you were sleeping in a gym. Bench pressing. Yeah. You try to go in and get some lifts in.
Starting point is 00:07:50 You get arrested. Yeah. And I bet you the abortion clinics were open. They sure were. Of course they were. Sure were. Absolutely. But eventually, you end up selling
Starting point is 00:07:59 the gym? Yeah. And where did you move to? Florida. Florida. Good move, my friend. North Florida. Yes. It's a very, very good move. At the end of, at the end of the gym, I actually started running for Congress. Yeah. And that was the stupidest idea I ever had. But why'd say that? Two minutes skeletons? I know I got them. Well, that, I mean, sure, that's one of them. Absolutely. Yeah. I dramatically underestimated the level of fuckery in politics. Like, you think you know, And then you see it from that level where there's just there's so many layers to that that rotten onion that we have. And it's on both sides. And it's, oh, it's on both sides.
Starting point is 00:08:40 I mean, the GOP fought me harder than the DNC did in the primary. You know, they outspent me 10 to 1. Their campaign was nothing but negative. They didn't run on a platform at all. It was just don't vote for that guy. Right. And they, I mean, there's good reason to. I'm, you know, but I'm a regular dude.
Starting point is 00:08:55 I have tons of mistakes. What, what they'll do is they'll prop up a polished turd instead of, It will. Exactly. You know, it's somebody that, like, you know, that they can bury their stuff far enough. And then they just prop them up. And it's somebody who doesn't have their own value system. Yeah, they'd beholding to them.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Yeah. It's just, well, what are my donors want? You know, so that's the guy that the, especially that the GOP, and it's the DNC, too. That's the, that's the person they want. But I really underestimated the, just how hard it was going to be. Yeah. We were riding off of a huge wave of sort of. of notoriety from COVID.
Starting point is 00:09:32 And it started, people would chant, um, Ian for governor, um, during the days at the gym. And it was like kind of like just this when I would go speak, you know, it was like this thing. And then like people were like, no, you should really run for governor. And then people, you know, like there was like a team of people who were like, well, you know, we'll, we'll, we'll work for you. We'll volunteer.
Starting point is 00:09:51 And I didn't want to want to run for governor because the fight was still going on. That was where we're an off cycle year in Jersey. And then I decided, you know, I thought to myself, okay. we did a really good job stopping these people, right? But like we're always, the problem with, with the American citizenry is we're always playing defense. Like we're always, we're always running to the fight. Like it's like, oh, we got to stop them from this.
Starting point is 00:10:13 So we have to mobilize really quick and call. But like we're never taking the fight to the politicians. So I thought maybe I could run. Big mistake running federally. I should have focused my energy on the state or the local level. So much more important. and I can't even put it into words. You know, if I would have got elected, you know, if I would have got elected,
Starting point is 00:10:33 I would have been a one of 500 assholes, you know, and they all vote the same way on the things that they want. I mean, there's never any resistance on spending bills. There's never any resisting on foreign aid to Ukraine to this place for gender studies, for Israel to drop bombs. You know, there's never any resistance. So I would just be there. You know, I wouldn't really be making a change. At the state and at the local level, you can really. A, you have a better chance of getting in.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Right. But B, you have a much more just tangible impact, I think. You can change the community around you. Right, right. And until we lock that up, we're just throwing ice cubes at the sun. You know, it's just, you look at people, and it's not that I don't like these people. You look at people like Marjorie Taylor Green or Mac Gates, and it's like, what bills have they passed? They put forth some great bills, but they just get squashed.
Starting point is 00:11:26 You know, it's like, and they're like the outcasts of, And we like them because they say what we feel, and they are, you know, they are fighting for the January 6 people, but all the January 6 people are still fucking screwed. You know, so they're just overpowered by the other 450, you know, establishment people. Yeah, we had RFK Jr. recently, and he brought up the same fact that the people for the DNC and R&C, they are hand chosen by those parties. And it's not really up to the people anymore.
Starting point is 00:11:57 It's who they want to present to. Yeah, it's Black Rock, because it's the big donors. Yeah, like RFK Jr. said, he could easily beat Biden. I mean, everybody knows that. In an open contest, it wouldn't, it would be, it would just be like, it would be like playing on the, like, playing basketball on the kids court. Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:12:12 You know, with like, with Biden. And he's sleeping. Like, he's not even playing. And I do not get that. Do y'all want to win or lose? Like, you have a much better opportunity if you picked RFK Jr. over Joe Biden. It doesn't make any sense. You know, the thing is what they've done, they did this to Ron Paul back in 2004.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Right. You know, Ron Paul ran as a. Republican, but he's like very much, uh, call him a conservative libertarian. Right. Um, excellent smart guy. He was a, he was a congressman, um, or he was a, yeah, he was a congressman, um, really has great ideas, wants to actually do stuff like end the Fed, you know, things that actually matter. Um, and he ran a hell of a campaign and he had the same sort of support that RFK does, maybe even greater. Um, and they just, they just boxed them out.
Starting point is 00:12:58 It just didn't let them come to debates. It's like, you know. Yeah. So this isn't, none of this is new. Now I think it's just so in your face that they don't really, they don't care. It's like, what are you going to do about it? Hey. Hey.
Starting point is 00:13:11 I used to like a white guy. Hey! We got these Jeep ring Rubicon. 20, 24, 37 inch tires, 18 inch wheels. Y'all know why we do this, right? Not just because we're just great black guys. Because we're giving back. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:26 We used to give them thousands of dollars each month advertising that giveaways on Facebook. And all they was doing was senseless. I said, no, I'm not doing that. Let me talk. I say, ain't doing that no more. I'm going to incentivize the people that support us. That's why we give back. We gave up back.
Starting point is 00:13:38 How much? About $2 million in trucks and trucks and cash? Yeah, something like that. Man, it's a bunch. Go to fish of horse twins.com. Anything you buy from the site. Yeah. Get you automatically enter the wind.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Yeah. No purchase necessary. Poetware prohibited. See official rules for details. Yeah. Speaking of elections, have you always been a conservative? What was your red pill moment? I've been like in and out of politics a lot of my life.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Like I remember being young. I was probably like a sophomore in high school. I remember seeing 9-11 like in school. And I remember just being like, why, like, why does that happen? Like, why does, you know, like not being able to understand it as, you know, whatever, 15, 16 years old. Yeah. I kind of got into a little bit of a rabbit hole there. And I just kind of got jaded because it was all such a.
Starting point is 00:14:29 you know, it's sham. You know, we went over there and we, we found weapons of mass destruction nowhere. And we, it's all the lie. We did the same thing that you're, you're seeing over and over again. It's like, oh, another war in the Middle East, you know, and we send all these young men over there and they come home either in a box or, you know, a basket case or injured or, you know, with PTSD. So I got very jaded. And then I was really kind of enjoying the feel good nationalism under Trump. As a small business owner especially, you know, those years, 2016 to 2020, is when I started my personal training business, or it's when it really took off. I built a personal training studio. I became a gym owner very quickly.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Right. You know, life was good. So I was like, yeah, I like these guys. You know, I like. Yeah, Trump did a lot of good. The people that's not giving them any recognition for them. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot that I disagree with.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Yeah. You cannot deny that life was immeasurably better from 2013. 2016, especially coming out of the Obama years, you know, the economy really took off. We were, I mean, I was, I was doing very well. Not that I wasn't working hard, but I worked just, I worked three times as hard now to be successful as I, as I was easily then. And I think almost every small business owner can say the same. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:45 When I had a 9 to 5, man, I dreaded that shit. Yeah. To the fullest. I'm there. I'm not, I'm not appreciated. When I became an entrepreneur, my own business, man. I work 70, 80 hours a week. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:58 Yeah. Funny how that works. Yeah. I'll probably be more successful if I'd apply to that. You're getting 50 cent dollar raise every year. I know that. No, man. So I want to bring up this tweet.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Okay. Like, we're all conservative politically. And the one thing I noticed about Democrats and Republicans, they all tow this line for that party. Like, me being black. I should be a Democrat, but I don't think that way. Right. So I like Christian, should be pro-Israel.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Well, typically Christians. Yeah, Christian-I don't know why. It's two different religions. Yeah. It doesn't make any sense to me, but fuck me up. I want to go to this tweet you put out. You put this tweet out, Israel is a third state. I like that ratio.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Right? It makes sense. So we tweeted this morning And go and pull up our tweet My race show sucks What the hell's going on? Get some scanning in action Oh, man, that ratio's getting better
Starting point is 00:17:08 Oh, it's getting better now Oh man, this is like the damn election The mail-in ballots This came in I got my mail-in ballots company Well, we've got 22 hours left Yeah You guys have a much
Starting point is 00:17:21 So you guys have a much larger following, especially on Twitter, because I mean, you've got 10 times, almost or seven times the votes in two hours. Right. So, but I also think that you guys have a much more of a mainstream conservative, I think representative of the, the, the mainstream conservative, you know, ranging from like people that were upset to COVID to people who are probably newly conservative as well. Right. You know, so I think, I think you have a much actually real more realistic selection of the actual population if you were to put this you know out in in in american demographics as a whole yeah about an hour ago it was uh 65 35 yeah okay but the mail
Starting point is 00:18:07 in ballots they're coming in and that anti-semitism is kicking in to turn on the boosters so i would they ask you um i want you to speak on what's going on it uh is i want to get your take on it you know i think think one of the most concerning things for me is that, you know, that I ask, I like to ask questions. Right. I like to ask questions because I'm asking them myself and because there is a platform of people who apparently at least give a shit about what I say in some of them. That's a great attitude. You're trying to learn. Yeah. Yeah. And, and, you know, you may say things that might be a little controversial, but, you know, that's how ideas float to the top. That's how
Starting point is 00:18:47 good ideas win. That's how free speech works, right? Exactly. If you're offended by something and it's so horribly wrong, then tell us why. Exactly. So I put that out there because, you know, I look around, you know, and I'm not the smartest guy. I hear this in the comment section all the time, like, are you a geopolitical expert? And it's like, no. Anyone with ten?
Starting point is 00:19:08 No, I'm just a dude asking questions, honestly, you know? But I look around and I look at what's happening in American politics right now, particularly with this new conflict in the Middle East. We already have one going on in Ukraine, which I was, I was. very early, when I ran for Congress, this thing was kicking off. And I remember, like, Dan Crenshaw, like, started crying over something that I tweeted
Starting point is 00:19:32 because, like, he was so, he was so fixed on the ghost of Kiev story. And I'm like, this stuff's propaganda. Like how... You know, the same mechanisms that brought you COVID propaganda and BLM propaganda, you bring you war propaganda. Yeah. And the next thing, propaganda, and the next thing. It's... Same thing with George
Starting point is 00:19:50 Booth. Exactly. Weapons, mass. Destruction. It's all the same players. The media comes up with these sensational stories, and it's just patterns. Right. I mean, do you remember the days of COVID when people were dropping dead in the streets of China?
Starting point is 00:20:04 Right. Remember those? People were just, like, falling over and hitting the ground. There was bodies stacked outside of New York hospitals. Like, what happened to that? Right. You know what I mean? Because they throw that, that's like the opening pitch, you know?
Starting point is 00:20:17 And it gets everybody all anxious. Right. And then by the time that story is proven to be absolutely. false, you're two years into it. So you see that and look at the George Floyd and says, oh, Derek Shovin killed him, he killed him. Yeah. Oh, it just turned, oh, you know, two years
Starting point is 00:20:32 later it turns out, wow, he overdosed. The first time I saw that video, I couldn't watch. I said, man, he murdered him. I fell for that trap. Yeah, nobody's immune to it. Nobody's immune to it. And I talked to a bunch of cops. He said, man, that shit happens all the time. You arrest somebody, they died in prison of a drug overdose. Same thing happened to George
Starting point is 00:20:48 Flood. Like, I knew my brother on the floor. And that was hard to watch. Like, I remember watching that and being like, oh my God, that's brutal. But a man does not die laying on his chest like that. No, no. It's impossible. But again, that was the opening pitch. It got everybody all scared.
Starting point is 00:21:04 And then just keep going over. Keep going over to the next thing. And Ukraine, right? It was the Russians are invading. And then the Ukrainians are winning. You're the ghost of Kiev. He shot down 46 fighters. And killed 30,000 Russians already.
Starting point is 00:21:19 They were sharing video game footage. Right. Our own politicians. People like Dan Crenshaw. I don't know if it was Dan Crenshaw, so if he hears it, don't cry about it. But there was our own politicians who were showing video game footage of a fighter jet video game saying that Ukraine's winning. Right. Yeah, I saw that.
Starting point is 00:21:37 And then again, now go to this Israel situation, right? So with all three of those situations, we wind up two years before we can stop the damage or we can at least stop the bleeding. Took us two years to get out of COVID. Took us two years to get out of BLM. How many billions of dollars of destruction? We're over a year in on Ukraine now because we rushed the scene. And again, here we go. We got the flying terrorists on the fans coming over the greatest military barrier in the world.
Starting point is 00:22:04 How does that have? And then there's Ben Shapiro with his crocodile tears and the 40 beheaded babies. And it's like you ask that question. So I asked a question. I said, you know, who, okay, 40 decapitated babies is horrible. If that's true, there should be. some serious repercussions. So let's talk about where that comes from. Oh, you're an anti-Semite. Yeah. Like, what do you? No, I just want to, how do we know? And then he's showing burnt babies.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Yeah. Remember that? Anybody remember the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, one of the people who's considered a huge conservative person leading the conservative party and all these people who follow their content for news and information. Right. Right. Right. to the next thing. And here we are again. How many billions have we spent? The conflict is escalating. It was going to be ending real quick.
Starting point is 00:22:59 We're on month seven. So you start asking questions and people get upset. That whole Ukraine issue, I just look at it from this point of view. The USA went back on that word about having Ukraine join NATO. Yeah. I'm looking at it from this point of view, this perspective, that Putin, he's just trying to defend his borders. That's the way I look at it.
Starting point is 00:23:21 I ask a guy who, he's a friend of mine, he's here. Ukraine. He says so many people in Ukraine is against this war. And they said they're not on the side of Ukraine. They're not. They're being pulled off of the streets. They're being conscripted. Exactly. I mean, they've slaughtered, again, slaughtered another generation of young men. What does that do? What are the long-term repercussions of that, right? Like, we see it, you know, our grandfathers and great-grandfathers have been slaughtered in World War I, World War II. You know, we lost men in the Vietnam. Every time this happens, we lose generations of our strong. longest men. And we wonder why you look around today and we've got dudes and dresses and
Starting point is 00:23:59 guys that, you know, tuck their balls and go swimming against girls. Yeah. You know, there are some ramifications to these things. I don't even think he tucks. No. I didn't think he swims. He uses that as like a little paddle, man. He's a rudder behind him. Yeah. Do you think Israel at this point is a terrorist state? I think killing innocent civilians and calling it a virtuous mission is absolutely ludicrous. And I think that... There's some counts that there's like 20... I think it's up to 30,000 now.
Starting point is 00:24:34 People have died in this war. You know what I hate about the Israel... The whole narrative about Israel. They always refer to people that's... They always intensely misrepresent people's arguments. Like they say, oh, you're anti-Semitic. You support terrorists. I'm saying, no, I support another Semitic people
Starting point is 00:24:51 that's being killed and murdered by absolutely no reason. I just want to know why you guys are killing, like, how many, how many civilians do you have to kill to defeat Hamas? Right. How many babies have to die for Hamas for you to win. Exactly. I think that's a fair question. Hamas's attack was horrible. Hamas's attack was horrible.
Starting point is 00:25:06 You blew that out of the wall, though, 100 times over. Yeah, what is what's doing? Exactly. Exactly. So at what point, like, you have to ask the question. It's like, at what point, it's the same thing as a street fight. You know, right? Like some, some littler guy punches some big guy, right?
Starting point is 00:25:21 and gets him good, and then the big guy beats him into a bloody pulp. At what point do you pull him off? Right. You know what I mean? Like, are you just going to let him kill him? Yeah. You know, like...
Starting point is 00:25:31 I want to show this video about... There was some food aid workers in Israel got killed a couple of days ago. And... Nitton. I can't even say his name. Net and Yahoo. I keep thinking of Kanye West when he was saying that name. Knit?
Starting point is 00:25:48 Net. What's up, Nitton? And his response about killing these innocent aid workers who's just trying to feed people. Details today about the seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen who were killed by Israel's military in Gaza. All seven victims have now been identified, including an American. The airstrikes destroyed the victim's cars on Monday in what Israel claims was a case of mistaken identity. Holly Williams has a story. World Central Kitchen has named Jacob Flickinger, a 33-year-old dual U.S.-Canadian citizen,
Starting point is 00:26:24 as one of seven of its team members killed by the Israeli military in Gaza. It appears their convoy of three cars was targeted with strikes multiple times, even though the non-profit says it was coordinating its movement with Israel's military, which called it a grave mistake. It was a mistake that followed a misidentification at night during a war in a very complex condition. These people are heroes. The U.S. government says it's outraged by the deaths, calling on Israel to carry out a swift and impartial investigation. We've impressed upon the Israelis the absolute imperative of doing more to protect innocent civilian lives,
Starting point is 00:27:10 be they Palestinian children, women and men, or be they aid work. Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, called the incident tragic and unintentional, also saying, quote, This happens in war. Relations between the U.S. and Israel appear increasingly strained, even though America is Israel's most important ally. Nowhere is the tension more evident than over Israel's planned offensive in rougher in southern Gaza, where around one and a half million Palestinians are sheltering, many in tents.
Starting point is 00:27:47 That's crazy. Israel says it needs to destroy Hamas's remaining battalions. The U.S. is warning against an assault without a credible plan to protect civilians. After sending hundreds of tons of... That's enough. That's the one they're here to come clean about. There's so many of these instances, though. Like, this is not, like, if you just Google, like, Israel Strike kills civilians.
Starting point is 00:28:14 It's not isolated. You're going to come up with this, not only throughout this conflict, but almost every conflict. Right, right. Almost every time that they get involved in a war, there's tons of civilian deaths. And it's, you know, and I want to clarify, you asked, do I think Israel is a terrorist state? Acting like this, I absolutely do. Yeah. Does that mean the people, the citizens of Israel?
Starting point is 00:28:36 Absolutely not. Does that mean Jewish people? Absolutely not. No less than I think that the American state acts in a terroristic manner when we went, over and Obama killed what's his name in North Africa. Right. Or we went over into Iraq and slaughtered a million citizens, civilians. And nobody talks about that.
Starting point is 00:28:57 That doesn't mean the American people are bad people. So when I say Israel is a terrorist state, I mean the functioning government, Netanyahu and the people that are in control of that government and this government are absolutely acting as a terrorist state. Right. That statement that bring up the Netanyahu clip, that was kind of sugar-coded what he said. Yeah, play this. It's got captioned on it. Toher, by imamah-hawna, was a make-ret tragic, of a bigion-exha-examined, of our people off-feworthed-a-Rezuat-Aza.
Starting point is 00:29:32 It's a war. We'll bodeking with the amchalos, and we'll do all, so the thing that he just says just part of war just killing innocent innocent children yeah like when they bought
Starting point is 00:29:46 when that hospital was bombed in Gaza they said it was a mass bomb in their own hospital that's what made me stop they go why would they do that and then they said they bombed it but they was using
Starting point is 00:29:56 children and shields yeah it's a mass society in the hospital it's every time it's a deflection instead of just being honest and saying yeah we're we're just
Starting point is 00:30:06 we're going in there We're going to go in there and, you know, we're going to, we're going to fuck them all up. Yeah. Like, they deflect and it's like, well, how dare you accuse me of that? How dare you accuse me of killing civilians? And it's like, you did it. And you did it last week, too. You did it two months ago.
Starting point is 00:30:22 And you did it. You killed your own civilians. Anybody remember that story? At the music festival, it came out weeks later that the gunmen in the helicopters gun down dozens of people and they don't know who. Yeah, and I was like, how do you hear that it happened? Y'all got the most securest border. How the hell did Hamas come in on hang gliders into your,
Starting point is 00:30:42 if you got this, I don't know how that happened. It's, it's fishy. It's no less fishy than the 9-11 story. You know, the official 9-11 story. Like, oh, we got, we got planes hijacked that knocked down three towers with two planes. Everybody forgets about the third tower. Right. You know, at World Trade Tower 7.
Starting point is 00:31:03 We just had another building fall. Like, there's, there's all sorts of. really, really legitimate questions, but you're crazy for asking. You love terrorism for asking. You're anti-Semitic. You support hummus. You're anti-Semitic. You know, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:31:17 And you're a leftist. You know, that's like the newest comment on my Instagram. Oh, like, oh, you turned leftist. Yeah, I turned leftist, dude. Like, all right. Like, you fucking sat home and wore a mask while I got my dick beat in, you know, fighting, fighting for you. And I'm a leftist.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Like, you complied with everything. Shut up. Like, all you do is vote for Trump. Right. Yeah, that's all they do. But that's, that's, that's, that's, that's a majority of some of the people who are on our side. And as much as that's an insult, I don't, like, it's, you guys kind of wise up. Like, stop being led by everything.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Ask some legitimate questions. Don't just, like, go to Ben Shapiro. And if he tells you not to think about something to just not think about it. Yeah, this whole Ken and someone's, yes, Joe thing, open up something. They open up my eyes. Yeah, you shouldn't blindly follow conservatives. You shouldn't blindly, anybody. Especially blindly follow.
Starting point is 00:32:07 a damn progressive politician. You especially shouldn't follow a June. Oh, look where it got you. You can't get you fired. Or follow a Negro. You know, it's true, though. And I don't understand the situation entirely, but I give a lot of props to Candace for... It looks real bad.
Starting point is 00:32:31 It gets harder and harder to ask the hard questions, the more mainstream you become, right? And I don't think anybody, like, willingly gets to that point, right? Like when Candace probably signed up, you know, for the Daily Wire. It was billboards, uncannable. Yeah. And I mean, hey, that's awesome. Yeah. Who wouldn't say yes to that?
Starting point is 00:32:51 But you don't realize that, like, oh, shit, like, I'm, there's a box around me now. And you don't notice it until you hit the walls of that box. You know what I mean? I never realized that Candice's show, she didn't own any of that. Her likeness or videos, all that belong to the Daily Wire. Well, somebody comes along and says, hey, I'll give you $10 million a year to do this. You know, you feel like doing it all yourself? Or you're just going to take the $10 million a year?
Starting point is 00:33:16 Yeah. You know, and that's not a bad thing inherently, but it does put you in these situations where it does become now hard because your boss says, shut the fuck. Yeah. She just asked the question. You believe in freedom of speech, but you need to shut the hell out. I'm Jewish and us Jews are not having this shit. Yeah. We love the truth, but this one, you're going to sit this one out.
Starting point is 00:33:36 You know, like focus on back on, talk about black people again. Yeah, talk about the Negroes. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we like that. We love it when you bash the Negroes. As much of a joke that is, that's so true. It's so true. You look at people like Ben Shapiro, and I said this the other day during another conversation.
Starting point is 00:33:54 People like Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, all these people love to critique the flaws of black culture. It's so easy. They love it. And they'll talk about facts over feelings. talk about statistics. Yeah. All of these things, right? And the whole black culture, which it should be, every culture should be held accountable.
Starting point is 00:34:13 There's no hanging fruit right there. Yeah. But they love to say, you know, black people need to step up and their fathers need to do this. And many of these are very legitimate criticism. It's valid. Yeah. Do that to Jewish culture and their heads explode. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:34:28 You know, it's like, and I'm sure Candace probably noticed that. Candice is like, man, y'all love when I'm, like, beating up on the blacks. but like I ask one question about the Jews and you guys lose your mind. Hey, you know what's crazy? They're using the same tactics as the LGBTQ. Yeah. They label you a homophobic just for asking the question.
Starting point is 00:34:48 I don't think, I don't think biological men should breastfeed children, right? Oh, you're a homophobic. Yep. When she asked anything questionable about what Israel's doing, oh, you're anti-Semitic. You got to go. Same tactics.
Starting point is 00:34:59 That's the thing that people need to notice. It's the same levers are being pulled. And it's the same people. You know, like big media is behind it, big governments behind it. And they pretend like they're not. Like it's such a show now, just like there's a show with Republican politicians and Democrat ones back at COVID. Right. What did Republican politicians really do about COVID?
Starting point is 00:35:24 They do shit until DeSantis. Yeah. Yeah. So you had some people saying, screw this. You know, DeSantis was definitely one of them. Right. You know, but the bulk of the bulk of geosanhas. O.P candidates or, excuse me, elected officials.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Right. All they did was yell on Capitol Hill and do it, what happened to the investigations? What happened to Fauci? Where's he? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's this like theater back and forth. And then they did it with BLM and then they did it with Ukraine. And now it's like, now you're seeing the feud where it's like, oh, as the right, we have to support Israel. And as the left, you know, it's like you have the, they activate like their useful idiots. Like the college kids, they activate them to, oh my God, look at these. Kids are out of control. They're screaming from the river to the sea. You know, oh, my God, their death to America chance. And it's, again, it's the pitting of the two sides against each other. Yeah. Meanwhile, it goes on.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Yeah, it goes on and on. I never understood when the Palestinian supporters. Well, conservatives call them Hamas supporters. But the Palestinian supporters, I like the way to do that. Everybody's Hamas. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't kill children. So you love hummus.
Starting point is 00:36:33 Yeah, exactly. And then I start hearing these chants from the Panistadian supporters talking about, you know, this is a genocide. I never really got that until I started paying attention and see the tens of thousands of people and died. I never understand the whole free Palestine either. And I started doing some research. Yeah, it used to be called.
Starting point is 00:36:51 I said, what did he mean, free Palestine? What the hell these damn terrorist supporters say, you know? Right. And I started doing my research. I said, no shit. This place used to be called Palestine back in the 40s. Yeah. Until after World War II, they took a bunch of European Jews because, and what Hitler did.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Yeah, yeah. And put them there and called it Israel. Yeah. I didn't know that. And majority of the aid that we sent to Israel goes to them. Doesn't even go to the people that was displaced from Israel. Yeah. I had no idea.
Starting point is 00:37:19 We've given that country more money than any country combined. They could have gave the niggas to reparations. They could have gave everybody reparations. Yeah. And the Indians, too. Yeah, not that I'm full reparations. Yeah. That's just totally stupid.
Starting point is 00:37:34 But shit, I'd rather have it. Yeah, yeah. If you're going to print, give it. Give it here. What I? But if they pay me it, I'll gladly take it. No, but, you know, it's hard to ignore. Like, again, like you said, you weren't super educated up to date on it.
Starting point is 00:37:50 But, like, how many times can you see pictures of Palestine that it's just desecrated? Yeah. Before you start saying, like, how would they go back and rebuild all that? Israel will. Yeah. I mean, they mark my words. That's what they'll do. They guess who's paying for it?
Starting point is 00:38:08 We are. Yeah. And that's full circle. You know what? It's like, if we just sever that tie and say, we're not giving you a blank check anymore. You go and do that shit.
Starting point is 00:38:20 That's on you. But right now, every single one of us pay for that. And not only do we pay for it, but our children pay for our children's children's children's children, because we're so far in debt that we're never going to see the end of it at this point. And these people just run it up. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:35 And I mean, there's quotes by, you know, former Israeli officials, Zionists saying that like the United States is like their, you know, their golden calf, meaning like they're just using us. You know, it's this blank check. And if we're writing you a check, you've got to answer our questions. And if you can't answer our questions, we're cutting the check off. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, if you're using, if we're giving you that money and you really. are using it to defend yourself?
Starting point is 00:39:02 Cool. But you guys are on a full out offensive. Against somebody with no guns. I mean, look at that last clip we just watched. Like, they're going to launch an offensive in there. Where's the Hamas battalions? Yeah, right. You never see them.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Like, where's all these damn terrorists at? They all came over the wall, and I guess that was it. And then the rest are hiding behind. That's probably why you can't see them. They're hiding behind children in the video. And doce offers food. At the end of trucks, where the people is giving food to people. You've been displaced.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Yeah. Yeah, at this point, we just pretty much slaves. They take our money to do whatever they want with it. And they take our money and they support only the people they want to run for president. But USA is like, we're fucking terrorists. Yeah, we support it. Yeah. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:39:47 Nobody's called not that there should be a call for peace in the Middle East. And they keep saying. Everybody is. They keep saying. They're starting to now. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the whole world is.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Right, right. But we don't see that on our news. Right, you don't see it. It doesn't get to us. And that's how they, I mean, the same thing how they do it in Ukraine. Like, we don't see what's going on in Ukraine. Right.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Here. Right. We see some little clip. Right, yeah. Like they want us to see it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Before we get to that, hey, over 94% of y'all are watching, but you ain't subscribe. What kind of bullshit is that? Did you forget? We got a lot of damn good shows coming. Yeah. I mean, famous people. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:25 I'm not having a bunch of plumbers and, Got some real people Well, they're real too, but They ain't famous. I got famous people coming on. Make sure you subscribe. Hit the bell for notification so y'all get notified whenever we got a damn new show coming.
Starting point is 00:40:40 These people, they got brains. They know how to subscribe and well, the white producers are telling us to say that shit. They keep saying that Israel is our most important ally. Where do you get that shit from? All you have to do is ask somebody why. And they'll go on a tangent. They'll be like, oh, well, they make a bunch of our medicine.
Starting point is 00:40:57 Okay, we're a country hooked on pharmaceuticals. That might not be a bad idea to wean off of that a little bit. They'll be like, oh, well, they gave us our greatest military inventions. Debatable. You know, like, they won't give you any concrete reasons. It's if we don't have Israel, they'll come here, is the premise of that major organization. We have to have Israel because we need some control in the Middle East. That's kind of weird because back when it was called Palestine, they had.
Starting point is 00:41:27 Muslims. They had Christians all living together. They had Christians all living together. But now of a sudden that Jewish people need their own country. Yeah. Well, it's the, again, if you ask people just to open their eyes, right? So the right wing is familiar with names like the Rothschilds, right? Right. The elites.
Starting point is 00:41:46 Yeah. You know, the Rothschilds were responsible for the creation of Israel in the Balfour Declaration. This is a document that is. at it in a museum in England where the king of England or whatever it is, uh, grants, uh, Duke Rothschild.
Starting point is 00:42:05 It's, it, it says like, yeah, we're going to hook you up, bro. Like we're going to, like after the,
Starting point is 00:42:11 and, and it was in, it was in sort of, uh, basically paying back a favor, paying back a debt. So conservatives hate the Rothschilds. They think they control everything.
Starting point is 00:42:23 Right. And then you go, maybe you should look into the Israeli government. And it's like, yo, whoa, you're an anti-Semite, whoa. And it's like, are you just, are you, are you closing your eyes? Like, are you doing this on purpose? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:35 Or do you just not, like, because it's, it's so engraved. It's this our greatest ally. We need them. We need them. If we don't have them, the terrorists will come to us. Yeah. Why do you think, I find conservatives to be more, you know, coherent, just people with logical minds. Why do you think so many of them fall for this whole, um, a few thing?
Starting point is 00:42:56 I think it's just the longest running Scandal. Like sciop scam. Yeah. You know, like it's, it's been accepted for so long. Yeah. And the, like, look at an organization like A-PAC. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:10 They boast on their website that 97% of the candidates that they endorse get elected on both sides. And it's a foreign lobby. Right. Every other foreign lobby has to, has to, they, they don't operate like that. they come in, APAC hosts these huge gala's, every president, every important senator, congressman, any, like, especially in the federal government, has gone and they speak. I mean, you can pull up a clip on YouTube now. Like, pull up, like, every single one of them will say, you know, you'll, you'll see a clip of Chuck Schumer going like, oh, you know, like, we support Israel to, you know, to the end, to the end. And Nancy Pelosi says it.
Starting point is 00:43:54 And Barack Obama says it. and George Bush says it. And they all say, and you're like, who are these guys? This is the American-Israeli, you know, PAC. And it's an Israeli organization. It's a foreign entity. I don't care. Meddling in our election.
Starting point is 00:44:12 If that was the, if that was Tri-PAC, how would that go over? If instead of the Israeli flag and the American flag, it was a big red Soviet flag. And George Bush and Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer and everybody else was like, we'll support China to the end. How would that go over? It won't go over very well. So while we give Israel past.
Starting point is 00:44:34 Exactly. But it's the same thing, you know, look through almost every level of our federal government. And in every major position, not every, but in every major industry, there are an overwhelming amount of positions held by people who they may not be Jewish, they may not be Jewish, they may not even practicing Jews, but they hold an allegiance to the cause of Zionism, to Israel. They pledge in some sort of allegiance. They think that Israel is our greatest ally. They think that they should support them.
Starting point is 00:45:07 They're in media. They're in entertainment. They're in music. They're in all these things. Again, if those were people affiliated with China, how would we handle that situation? Look what we're doing in a TikTok. We're trying to get that shit banned. Perfect example.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Perfect example. When they want to ban something, then they want to stop foreign influence. They will go at it. There's one Chinese thing in this country, and every single one of them is jumping on it like a rabid dog. Right. And meanwhile, you have an organization that proudly boasts that 97% of the candidates that they endorse. It is the endorsement.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Like, if you have an A-PAC endorsement, as someone who ran, if you have an A-PAC endorsement, you've got tons of money, you've got tons of donors, and you've basically got, you're good. You're good. You're good. You know, I remember. remember when I ran for Congress, this was, I think this was one of the first moments I was really like, what? I, uh, I was preparing for debate. We got this goofball to debate me. And, and it was,
Starting point is 00:46:07 it was still COVID. So we had to do like a video debate. And I'm practicing with my team. I had like a really, I had a really cool team. Um, we were like the outcasts. Right. Um, and we're, they're like spitballing me questions. And I'm nailing all these questions. Left and right. Boom. Boom. Yeah. And it, my, my whole platform was simple. It's any, any policy decision goes through the lens of America first. You know, how does this policy affect Americans before anything else? Right.
Starting point is 00:46:34 Is it, are we going to send money over here? How does it affect Americans? Negatively? You know, does it cost American money? No, boom. Done. So, I'm answering all these questions. Everybody's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're going to crush this debate. And they said, what is your stance on Israel? And I said,
Starting point is 00:46:50 They saved the hardest one for last. I don't even remember what it said. But I was like, yeah, I mean, like, whatever. But like, but America first. And everybody was like, no, wrong answer. And I was like, what do you mean? And they're like, you say the words, Israel is our greatest ally. And I looked at them.
Starting point is 00:47:11 And I had my campaign manager, he was a good dude, really, really good dude. And like, we used to bust his balls all the time. And I thought he was joking. Yeah. And he was dead serious. And he goes, if you want your funding to continue. Yeah. if you want the big donate
Starting point is 00:47:24 because that's what a campaign runs on. It runs on money. If you can't at least, you don't have to have more money, but you've got to have enough money to fight. And we raised, I don't know, like north of six figures,
Starting point is 00:47:38 you know, 150,000 or something like that. I don't know what we raised. They spent 10 times as much. And it's like if you can't keep, at least keep pace with that so you can defend and you can fight back, it doesn't matter what your platform is.
Starting point is 00:47:51 You could be the most, qualified candidate for the job through and through. And they will just bury you in money in, in the flyer, the leaf because most people don't pay attention. So they get a leaflet at their house. And it's all talking all bad about you. And they get another leaflet. And it's all bad about him.
Starting point is 00:48:07 And they get another leaflet. And it's from another organization that supports the other guy. So they, they just bury it. So he was like, if you want, you say, you can say whatever you want. He said, if you're funding, you know, if you want your, your, your big donations, because you got a cold call. Hey, my name's Ian Smith. I'm running for Congress.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Yeah. You know, I need to speak to Bill Hutchinson. You know, and it's like some old guy. You know, and it is. It's like an old, you know, it's a boomer, usually, especially in the GOP. But you love her. Yeah. He's cool.
Starting point is 00:48:36 He's cool. It's true. It's true. And if he hears that you think that Israel's not our greatest ally, he thinks that you're a terrorist. So, long story short, I'm in the debate, and the question comes up. And he goes first. I don't want to say this.
Starting point is 00:48:55 I really don't want to. Like I've, I've pride. I've prided myself. I spoke my mind during COVID and all that. And I, I, I folded.
Starting point is 00:49:04 And I said, because I wanted, let me hear you say it. I wanted to get there. I don't even remember what I said, but I was like, Israel's our greatest out. It's like,
Starting point is 00:49:12 you know the meme? Like the, like the Simpsons meme, they're like, say the thing, say the thing. And I was like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:49:19 uh, you know, we need to protect our interests in the Middle East and, um, Israel is our greatest ally And I felt like such a bitch For saying it Like I just I was like
Starting point is 00:49:30 I can't believe I did that I was ashamed to myself honestly Because I didn't believe it It wasn't so much that it was about Israel Or anything else like that It was that I was told that if you want to play the game That this is how it's played And
Starting point is 00:49:44 And you're gonna you're gonna bend the knee Right You're gonna bend the knee And I was like man Why is it like that? And I started to do my homework You know, and then it's, it's, there's just so much that it's like, man, these, these people really have a lot of control. And we need to, we need to ask the question as to why that's allowed.
Starting point is 00:50:01 Yeah, it shouldn't be. Yeah, it's common sense. It shouldn't be. Yeah. American politics should be dictated by people who have the interest of America first. Right. Period. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:50:10 Full stop. That's it. Yeah. We're going to switch scares. We've been killing the Jews. Yeah, we've been killing the Jews. So if people want to run for office, we're, we're, we're, What should they run as?
Starting point is 00:50:24 Should be local, I would think. Absolutely, absolutely. You know, it's not even about necessarily running. It's about getting involved locally. You know, running is a beast. It's very challenging. It's a huge sacrifice. It's why we wind up with so many assholes.
Starting point is 00:50:39 Because if you do it the right way, it's a very challenging job. It's challenging. In a lot of times, it's very thankless. You know, you're not going to get rich doing it. Like, there's not a whole lot of incentives if you do it the right way. So it is very challenging. But it's definitely something if, you know, if you want to do, try it. But get involved locally.
Starting point is 00:50:58 There's like county seats in probably half the counties across the country that have vacant seats. And these are the people that help pick the candidates. You know, they're the people that help pick the local congressman, the local state senator who get the word out, who organize the events, who all these things. And you can make a huge impact by just walking into one of these seats. And, you know, and you'll inherit some responsibility. but either that, you know, if you're going to run, run, but support local candidates. It's so hard to run.
Starting point is 00:51:29 It's incredibly difficult. It's one of the most challenging things I've ever done because you need so many things and you only have so little time and you're going against somebody who essentially has infinite resources and who created the game. You know, like you're playing chess against the guy who created it and knows every single move.
Starting point is 00:51:48 And you're like, all right, I've got to move my pawn. and you know but you there's just so much so manpower is a huge thing um but if you're going to run state local county that's where you can get in that's where you can make the difference and that's where that's where you're if you're going to donate your time energy money that's also where it makes the difference yeah like big time i'm gonna switch you guys yeah there's so many women like invading like uh man spaces uh no i said that you fucked up i'm getting confused i'm getting confused It's so many men I was like, is there?
Starting point is 00:52:24 I wish we had that problem, right? Would you want to be in the men? Yeah. That sounds some fun, dick. There's so many men invading women's spaces. If you still had your gym, what would you do? I'm sure you came across this, right, when you was a gym owner? No, we never did.
Starting point is 00:52:43 We never did. I guess the girl didn't have the balls to do anything, huh? We had a, we had a, a man. who was a woman. It was like a weird kind of androgynous. She would come in only like once in a while. And it looked like he wasn't sure if it was just a chick who was just really in the bodybuilding or if it was like a dude who just liked makeup.
Starting point is 00:53:07 Right. You know, it was like somewhere between, but it was a dude. One of those. And they used the correct bathroom. Oh, okay. They respected the policy. They were actually, I mean, they were cool. They weren't.
Starting point is 00:53:16 They didn't want the red carpet rolled out for them, anything like that. They were just a little special. in the way that they appeared. Right. But they were cool. But if that should be an automatic decision, if there's a dude in your women's restroom, they should just get their ass beat on site.
Starting point is 00:53:32 Don't need call cops. That's what used to happen. Yeah. That's what needs to happen because if you start... Well, don't beat them up right away. Give them a chance to leave. Yes. Give them a chance. I'm warning you.
Starting point is 00:53:42 You need to get out of here. You're going to get your ass beat. Five, four, three. You know, that and, you know, that and, Like, just shame these people. Like, film them. Make them look like idiots. Put them on the internet.
Starting point is 00:53:57 Yeah. Laugh at them. Bulley them. But you know what? It's crazy. Women defend them. Yeah. We'll never understand that.
Starting point is 00:54:05 It takes a certain type. Yeah, exactly. A certain type of woman will defend it. But if all women push back against this, it wouldn't happen. Yeah. Yeah. Just a Democrat woman. But a majority of women support it.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Yeah. Yeah. It's weird. It's like all those years y'all's fighting for rights and now you're just going to give them back. to men. Yeah, well, that's called being so open-minded that your brains fall out. Right. It's like, you know, you want to, you want to be the night. These people have nothing else to contribute to society other than like their understanding and their acceptance. And they're, they're useful idiots. But I think more and more women are seeing the negative effects of it. And as a parent, very hard to support that. You have a little girl, you know, or when you have a child in general, but, you know, you, you understand what that, that, that nature of wanting to protect at all costs is. Like, no, parent can you've got to I mean you've just got to be so far gone
Starting point is 00:54:55 right like so far brainwashed to be like I see nothing wrong with this yeah and this idea is not going to age well it's going to get worse over time the Democrat party is going to be known for this they're going to be the part of the KKK of Jim Crow and pushing radical fringe ideology on children they're going to be the part of known for that yeah and still not hurting them
Starting point is 00:55:16 going pretty good eventually eventually I think people it's I've never realized like COVID, all this when I got in a policy, I've never realized how stupid most of the country literally is. Yeah, yeah. Brain dead. One of the things I say all the time, because that's, I mean, everybody kind of looks around, but like, think of like the intelligence of the average person. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:35 It's scary. Yeah, but now figure that there's 49% of people who are dumber than that. Like, so you wonder, you're like, how does this happen? And you're like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, the average person, even in terms of, not in terms of, like, intelligence, but in terms of just, like, consciousness like paying attention right just they're just busy with their own lives there that's that's that's what a lot of it is it's it's it's less about intelligence than it is ignorance and ignorance in the sense that like you said they're just wrapped up in their own lives and it's like oh yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:56:04 yeah we should yeah we should support trans people there they're people too and it's like that dude in the bathroom yeah like next to your daughter you know with his wiener hanging out like and they stay stupid shit stupid shit like they're people too i'm not saying they're not they're alien i'm just saying he shouldn't be beside my girl in the bathroom you know That's all I'm saying, you dumb bitch. Hold it or go whatever. Set up a porta potty. Have you heard of Michael Rappaport?
Starting point is 00:56:30 Yeah, he's the guy with the whiny voice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you heard his political views lately? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's totally flat. Hey, pull up the video. This is kind of where he's Jewish. You got to give him a little.
Starting point is 00:56:46 He's Jewish. Oh, wait a minute. I'm supposed to be Republican You be a Democrat and you Jewel it Yeah I have educated myself so much since 2016 and I have a ways to go My political views have changed
Starting point is 00:57:06 immensely And they're changing at a rapid pace I will not vote for Joe Biden I do not support anybody from the score I think they're totally full of shit. I think they're dangerous. I think they're race hustlers.
Starting point is 00:57:23 I think they're cons. I think inevitably they want to get themselves a production deals to produce documentaries. I think they're three-card Monty playing bullshit artists. I think they totally have an agenda. I have said, you know, not to go down the rabbit hole, that at this point when we're doing this interview, voting for Trump is on the table.
Starting point is 00:57:45 People are like, what are you talking about? That's my reaction. That is my reality. I will not support anybody who's anti-Israel. There you go. There's a suicide. You know, making America safe. I'm not supporting anybody that is cool with the fact that it takes me two and a half hours to get back into America from Toronto at the, what is it called?
Starting point is 00:58:13 The passport at the, um, passport control. The line to go from Toronto to New York. It takes me two and a half hours, as it should, but it takes you two minutes to cross the border. I'm not down with that shit. I'm not down with police officers in the greatest city on earth, getting beaten up, and you're a legal immigrant,
Starting point is 00:58:33 and then you have no bail. I'm not down with... And flipping off the camera. Flipping off the fucking camera, like Chupac, when he got arrested in the... That was going to funny. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:43 I'm like down with going into a Costco or a 7-11. or a right aide as I videotaped once and went crazy viral, cleaning out the spot and walking like you're on a, you know, like a beautiful spring day walk. I'm not down with any of that shit. So any of these people that support it, I'm not, I'm not voting for them. So yes, my political views have changed a lot.
Starting point is 00:59:05 I'm voting with my money and I'm voting with Israel. I'm not getting caught up or suckered into these race politics or any of that bullshit anymore. Cut this jewel. It's all about him being Jewish. Yeah. The squad, he bring up the squad, they're anti-Semitic. They actually are.
Starting point is 00:59:25 Well, first of all, what's funny about this is it's like, no shit, dude. Like, he's like, I'm not down with people crossing the border. You were for eight years. What are you talking about? Like, now you're not. Like, I'm not down with police. Bro, you were, like, supporting BLM while they were knocking cops' heads in. Like, you're an idiot.
Starting point is 00:59:45 You are an absolute idiot. But the icing. on the cake for him. Yeah. The thing that was the deal breaker was not all that. It was, I'm not down with people who question Israel. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:59 And he, you know, he doesn't say question it, but that's what it is. But that's what he means. That's what it is. If you don't fully support what Israel is doing, you are a terrorist and you are bad.
Starting point is 01:00:10 And that's like all that, all that other stuff, he was championing. Yeah. Right. He was, he's one of like the, their loudest, like, blabber mouths.
Starting point is 01:00:19 Right, right. Oh, yeah. And for eight years, he's been ragging on Trump, just sucking off Joe Biden. Yeah. Sucking him home. Otherwise, not that crazy thing on his face. Friggin.
Starting point is 01:00:34 You guys on zip code. It gives me hoping when I see people make that such a transformation, though. But you could just get over the Israel thing. I mean, you can't expect everybody to get it all at once. Yeah. You know, it is, it's a process. I think that's like a really important kind of thing is that like we there does have to be some grace for these people, right? Like you can't bash their heads in, you know, we just did, but whatever.
Starting point is 01:00:57 But like if that is serious and it is genuine, right? Like, okay, I don't. It looks like he's at the beach. Yeah, he sounds like he's crying too. Like he's at the music in the background and talking about people making documentaries on his documentary. You know, but that's, I'm okay with politics where we disagree. It's if you really genuinely think that, you know, Israel is X, Y, and Z and I don't, I'm happy to debate it too. Right.
Starting point is 01:01:30 You know, but it's still a good thing to see the world crashing around these people with all of the other stuff, even if they don't get the full picture. Yeah, it gives you hope. You know, because maybe that'll come crashing down too if we keep asking the uncomfortable questions. You know, and it's some, it takes, you know, risking getting canceled or whatever or getting yelled at by anonymous people on, on Instagram and Twitter. But we, we were asking those same questions for all that other stuff for years now. You guys are doing it. A whole bunch of us have been doing it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:02 And now, you know, it could have been sooner that they're starting to understand, but they are. You know, so it does show how important that, like that, just pushing the envelope and continuing just to have the conversations and to ask the questions. and to ask the questions and to make jokes about these people and to constantly make sure that people are that level of awareness. Yeah, it looks like, it sounds like people waking up. If there was ever another mandate, you think people will fight against it this time? Because people are waking up. I think you would have a lot more resistance.
Starting point is 01:02:35 And I honestly, I don't know if it would work. This time around. Yeah, it would need to like actually be a deadly thing. Yeah, yeah. You know. People literally have to be. You're texting it three hours later. They don't walk and just dropped it in the street.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which, I mean, is entirely possible. Right. That could be the okie doke. You know, you run one where it's not really a thing. And then everybody who resisted the original thing now looks like the bad guy. And, you know, you get 100% compliance very quickly. But if it's another COVID, like, you know, COVID 2.0, I don't, I think there's so many people who are not even on the right who are like, that was so stupid.
Starting point is 01:03:13 Right. You know, like to the we were, I was over at the casino here the other night. We were talking to the blackjack dealer and, you know, the one, the pit boss noticed me. And he goes, you're the, you're the gym guy. Right. And she had no idea. Like she was apolitical. But we got to talking about COVID. And this is a woman who probably just kind of went along with things and, you know, whatever.
Starting point is 01:03:33 Maybe she's liberal. Maybe she's not. Maybe she probably doesn't pay attention. But this is a normal person who is completely outside of the world of politics. It was like, yeah, I'm never wearing a mask. again. I'm never doing that again. Like that was so stupid. Yeah. So, yeah,
Starting point is 01:03:47 people are definitely waking up. It's just, you know what? When those masks came out, we was so close to doing a video about the mask. I'm not wearing it. We was going to be the first was, but I chickened out. Because I was like, come on,
Starting point is 01:04:00 this is going to stop you from getting sick. Do you know how you get sick? It's not going to stop you from getting sick. Fucking text of masks off of sauce eating. Putting his freaking heads all up in the top. It's like, yeah, it doesn't make any sense. Hey, what do you think so? With this next election?
Starting point is 01:04:18 You think Trump's going to take this election? He should win it easily. Well, I would think. I don't know. I don't know. I don't think that. You got to wait for the ballots to come in, right? The million ballots.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Of course. Of course. Well, you know, I have a couple thoughts about it. One, I don't think that Joe Biden is going to be the candidate. I genuinely don't. He can't be. I don't. I'm thinking the same thing.
Starting point is 01:04:38 Unless we're all missing the point and it's all a big show and they want Trump to get elected. And there's some. some grand scheme that we all haven't caught onto. There's no way that they would, anybody with a strategic mind would be like, he's good to run. I think what it'll be is it'll be a last minute poll probably in the next month or two.
Starting point is 01:05:00 They could be Michelle Obama? I think Big Mike would definitely be a good man. Well, I mean, think about it. It's you can ride off of the, even though Obama wasn't a good president, like there's people who genuinely think that he was a great guy. great president. People that think that he was the greatest president. Because he's black.
Starting point is 01:05:18 Yeah. Yeah. And for, yeah, for no other reason. And that and he could speak well. You know, and he could, he could, you know, he could flower up a third and make it look great. So I think that that big Mike would be, because now you got, you got Obama 2.0. And you got your first woman president. Your first black woman president. It's, I mean, it's checking off the boxes on like, on all the heartstrings of all the people, the do-goaters of the world who, right. that that's progress. Right. A Gavin Newsom, something like that. I just think a late horse is going to come in
Starting point is 01:05:51 and they'll just say, sorry grandpa fucked up. Yeah, he messed up. I'm thinking he's going to come on and say he's pulling out because of his health. Yeah, yeah. And then, but you get to blame everything that happened on him. And it's just like, he was just old.
Starting point is 01:06:08 Yeah. You know, like, we didn't really mean to destroy the country in the economy. Like, it was, you know, Joe Biden just did his best. He was just a little. too old for the job, but we have Big Mike and Gavin Newsom. You know what I mean? Like, he looks like a comic book film. Yeah, I mean, he looks like, exactly.
Starting point is 01:06:22 He looks like something out of Gotham City. You know, like the mayor of Gotham City. Yeah. We love him too. Yeah. And the voters. Yeah, exactly. When you refer to Michelle Obama's Big Mike, you know, I looked up a couple videos on YouTube. I can't find him anymore.
Starting point is 01:06:36 And it shows if Michelle Obama's a dude. And I can't find him anywhere. And I was listening to it. And it's, it was whole making sense. He might be. I was going back to it and now the videos are gone.
Starting point is 01:06:50 Yeah. I got a flag for hate speech. And what was the actress that died on the operating table having some cosmetic surgery? Oh, Joan Rivers.
Starting point is 01:07:00 Yeah. She said that, yeah. She said that and I think within two weeks. She died like two weeks later. She was dead. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Yeah, she said it was like on TMZ and everything. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, come on. Everybody knows she's a man. Everybody knows that. It's true, though. So serious.
Starting point is 01:07:14 Yeah. Yeah, we got an important announcement for you. A damn important announcement. Show do. The value of the American dollar's getting weaker and weaker. And don't believe Biden in his line media. He's a liar. Yeah, when he tell you, there's no inflation.
Starting point is 01:07:31 The inflation's going crazy. Look, you see it all around you. You got grocery bills, little estate market, gas prices. Everything's going up. Everything going on. Yeah, it's the cost of our dollars going down. Just like y'all, we've been trying to find different places. Put our money.
Starting point is 01:07:43 Keep it secure. every day the Fed, printed money. No, unstoppable. Like it's Monopoly money. And, of course, mainstream news outlets. Yeah, they're going to talk about it. Yeah, they're not going to cover it. So we go to Dr. Kurt Elliott for all our economy updates.
Starting point is 01:07:57 That's a damn good white man. Damn good white man. That's a damn good white man. And he's smart, too. Yeah, he is. Dr. Kurt Elliott is a precious metals expert and has been working in the golden silver market over 20 years. That's a long time. 20 years?
Starting point is 01:08:09 Yeah, that's why we partnered with Dr. Kirk. Go to harsh twinsgold.com. Signing up is totally free, and Dr. Kurt's team of advisers, listen to all your concerns you may have about your economic future, talk you through the right plan that especially fits your needs. Go to Hartswinsgold.com. It's not our goal. It's just our website. Go to Harts2Sgold.com right now and secure your economic future today for you and your family. I wish I had me some gold in my basement. Yeah. No, so I think there will be like a late last-minute switch.
Starting point is 01:08:43 But, you know, we, I think we agree as conservatives that the last election was just a little bit fishy. Yeah, somewhat, yeah. I went to night, I went to sleep that night, and I said, we got this. Yeah, Trump's winning. Yeah, Trump's winning. Yeah, Trump's winning all the key battle states. And, you know, keep it there. It was fishy.
Starting point is 01:09:02 There were some problems with it. I think we can all agree on. Yeah, he didn't win, right? Yeah. That was the problem. But I don't, and maybe I'm wrong. But what has changed since then about our election system? I think it did away with a lot of the COVID rules to how you can vote with mail-in ballots.
Starting point is 01:09:20 I think whenever you have that many votes coming on a mailing ballot, it's just open to too much fraud. Even Democrats state of that. I think we have. I think they did away with the COVID. Some states have it. There's a number. But now there's a number of states, and I don't know the number,
Starting point is 01:09:36 so I won't say it, but it's more than one, which is too many, where you don't need 90 to vote. Right. And we've got an immigrant, not having an immigrant and an invasion going on. Right. The same Democrat tactics that they've used for years, they go into inner cities. They get usually low-income, black and Latinos. They bust them in to vote.
Starting point is 01:09:57 Yeah. Who says they're not going to do that now? Because they lost the black and Latino vote or the losing it. They're just going to do it with the new Latinos that they brought it. You know I asked R of K. Jr. about that. I said, what's with this ID in voting? And then this is what he said. He said, well,
Starting point is 01:10:12 if you, he said a lot of young, older people. Older people. Left side. They don't have IDs. So it disenfranchises a lot of Democrat voters. I said. And I asked him, I say, if these people can't find, I say, if these people
Starting point is 01:10:28 can't find how to get an ID, should they be voting? He just looked and be like, it's true, though. That's a, that's a valid point. You can't figure out how to get to the DMV in four years. You've got four years to do it. Right. And get yourself an identification card. Doesn't have to be a driver's license.
Starting point is 01:10:47 I don't want a lot of you old people driving. Yeah, right. You know what I mean? But regardless of how old, young you are, what the color of your skin is, what your socioeconomic status is, what languages you do or don't speak. If you can't figure out how to get to the DMV and get yourself a non-driver's license identification, You should not be voting at all. Texas, they figured out, they give everybody IDs in Texas.
Starting point is 01:11:11 Look at that. Why can't you do it in the liberal states? Yeah. They don't want to fix the problem because they know if they fix the problem then is. Yeah, exactly. So I have a big concern about those issues, the late switch. And I know that's not to discredit all of the people who have been working on election integrity issues. Because I know that there are a ton of people who don't have like a big spotlight.
Starting point is 01:11:34 and that's a grueling battle. So that's not to throw shade it at all of the efforts and all of the money and the time and the energy that people have spent trying to fix election issues. But what have we legitimately fixed? We still have electronic voting machines. These are still private companies that run our boat. There's just so many holes in it that especially if you combine the two of those things, the late stage candidate and the issues that we have with voter fraud, I don't know if Donald Trump wins, you know, because it's like, oh, well, you know, they may not be able to cheat hard enough for Joe Biden, but they can easily push Michelle Obama,
Starting point is 01:12:15 like Big Mike across the, yeah, I almost called by her, her dead name. And you actually brought up a part about Trump. I think if Trump wins the election gets in there, I think it's going to be a fiasco. Sure. The entire time he's in the whole impeachment is going to come back. They're going to throw everything but the kicks and sink in him. Look at what they did the first time. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:35 I mean, look at what they're currently doing. Yeah, it's going to be a shit show. It's gotten worse and worse and worse. And, you know, to Trump's credit, there was a lot that he tried to do that he was sort of, he couldn't because he was always dealing with just ridiculous criticisms with, you know, people that were acting like children in terms of the political process. You know, so. And it's only gotten worse. I mean, the media is nothing but like a rabid. dog they've been nothing but a rabbit dog they've got they've got even on yeah just pretty much
Starting point is 01:13:10 an extension of the democrat party so it's yeah even if he does get in it'll be there will probably be a next thing you know like a next current thing you know COVID was the thing that was we know that was that was manufactured that that wasn't that soup like they told us right right you know oh how did it come about oh somebody ate some bat soup they didn't cook it long enough yeah which is crazy because everybody was like oh my god that's soup what let's shut this country down shut it all down like wear masks shut it all down
Starting point is 01:13:41 I was watching his nit fiddick special about these diseases out in China as a documentary he got some shit over there in China they can wipe out 90% of the planet's population oh yeah in the labs and stuff that they they mess around it I turned it off
Starting point is 01:13:55 I couldn't watch the rest yeah these people like playing playing God yeah they're playing with things that shouldn't be played with and, you know, you, that's, the fact that that's even a thing is, is concerning. Right. You know what I mean? And this whole, uh, COVID thing, I'm pretty sure that was, I don't have any evidence to back it up,
Starting point is 01:14:14 but it had, I don't think that came from Mother Nature. I think it was a leak. It accidentally got out and turned into a something terrible. And I think, for some odd reason, I'm thinking, we had a hands in it. Yeah. We was fun in the lab. Yeah. I mean, um, you're not.
Starting point is 01:14:32 United States and Israel were two of the most highly vaccinated countries the, you know, like up there with China. We had the strictest lockdowns in most cases, China, Israel, and the U.S. And it's in China. While we find in labs in China, if there's so much of a conflict. Because Dr. Fawc thought it was a good idea. Good guy. Well, that's the political feeder of it all.
Starting point is 01:14:55 That's the thing that people need to look at. And that's the real question. It's like, well, wait, our government fund. this, but you guys tell us all the time, like, that they're, that there's these horrible people over there, the Chinese, the Chinese, what are we doing? Right. Make that, make, make those two things make sense at the same time.
Starting point is 01:15:14 That's what they did with Russia, too. It's like when we started buying oil, we was buying oil from Russia. He said, we're not buying your oil anymore. I was like, wait a minute, they're evil people, but you are buying oil from them. Right. And now you're making the point to not buying the oil from them because you're making a point that he's evil now. When he's been, fuck.
Starting point is 01:15:29 Yeah, well, Tucker did a bit over there. That country like is thriving. The subway is clean, food, the cost of living, way down. He doesn't play around. He doesn't play around. He turned the LGBTQ into a tourist organization. I mean, that's, I bet if I put up another poll that they would have similar results. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:49 I mean, it's like without the violence, but like the bullying, like that whole, like shoving things down your throat. Right. It's, you're terrorizing people. Yeah. Yeah. You're in little girls' bathrooms. You're putting tampons in boys. You're terrorizing, psychologically terrorizing people.
Starting point is 01:16:08 Yeah, you can make an argument. They get so upset when you see a Christian or a pastor out in the street. With the Bible. Quoting scripture, right. But no, it's cool when the damn man just goes in a women's bathroom. Yeah. Yeah, that's, I mean, the mental gymnastics are, you've got to be pretty good at them. You've got to be pretty good at them.
Starting point is 01:16:26 Hey, so what are you working on now? So I own a couple small companies. We're in the health and the medical space. One of them is summit rejuvenation. We're a testosterone clinic. Okay. We specialize in... I love testosterone.
Starting point is 01:16:40 Yeah. It's a wonderful thing. We don't have enough of it in this country. That's what we're trying to fix. Yeah. We're a telehealth clinic in all 50 states. We have a couple in-person locations. We work with men and women in balancing and optimizing their hormones.
Starting point is 01:16:54 So it's not always about testosterone, but testosterone is a problem. one of the most important hormones. It's a precursor to even estrogen and stuff like that, too. So we work with men and women who are having hormonal issues. You have a lot of young men today who have just really low testosterone levels. And it's the result of sort of environmental poisoning. We're poisoned by the convenience of the modern world. All of your food touches plastic and we don't get a whole lot of sun light and we're not as active as normal. And there are a lot of things that you can do to improve your natural levels. But there's, you can't really escape. all of it. And some people are a lot more susceptible to it than others. There's some people
Starting point is 01:17:33 it has no effect on. And there's others where you're 25 years old and you have less testosterone than a seven-year-old man. And you're walking around feeling like crap. And most doctors will tell you, oh, you're fine. You're within range. Yeah. So we help people optimize their hormones and we offer peptides as well. Great business. We have a lot of fun doing it and you get to help people. Yeah, it's so very important because about four years ago, I was always sleeping. And then when I was home, I couldn't go to sleep, tired, didn't have no energy, no drive. I only got my testosterone checked. He called me back, dude, you run on a quarter tank.
Starting point is 01:18:06 My testosterone was, what, 198? Yep. Something like that? That's, for years, I lifted weights died, lifted weights died. It killed my testosterone. Yeah, and that's not a necessarily result of unhealthy choices. It's, you know, in a lot of cases, like I said, it's very hard to avoid your clothes that have polyester in them.
Starting point is 01:18:25 It gets into your skin, and polyester, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, called endocrine disruptors. And they mess up your hormonal system. And like I said, some people are not as susceptible. And some people, it just wreaks havoc on their system. And it's everywhere. It's in tap water. It's, um, you name it.
Starting point is 01:18:40 It's in your food. It's on a lot of the stuff they spray in the foods. A lot of the preservatives. They're all, um, soy. They're soy and everything. Soi mimics estrogen in the body. And it's, you can, you can do a lot, but you have to be very, very dedicated to doing it. But using TRT as, as a, as a way to,
Starting point is 01:18:57 just start feeling better because it's a terrible feeling. You don't know why you're just not, you're not yourself. You're irritable. How do people find your company? You can follow me right on Instagram or Twitter at Ian Smith Fitness. The website for it is summit or get summit hrt.com. You can follow us on Instagram, Summit Rejuvenation as well. And I have a couple other small projects. We have a CBD company called Recovery CBD, American-made CBD 100%. CBD, no THHC, designed for athletes in performance and recovery, another great company. And I wrote a book.
Starting point is 01:19:38 That was fun. It was a lot more challenging than I thought it was going to be. It's hard to write a book without sounding like just like a selfish dick, you know what I mean? That's why we wrote a comic book. Yeah, you probably had a better idea. You have a story that you want to tell people, but if you're not paying attention, to how you're writing it. It turns into I, I, I, I, I, me, me, me.
Starting point is 01:19:58 I did this. I said this. And it's like, I, dictator. I read in the first draft, I was like, I got them running it. And I was like, that was easy. And I read it and I was like, oh, my God, I sound horrible. Like it sounds, I just sound like the most self-centered idiot in the world.
Starting point is 01:20:12 So it took me a while, but I, I wrote about my experiences during COVID, but also I wanted to, you know, everybody, it's very easy to tell the story of when you're a hero, right? You know, like, be like, oh, I, you know, I'm the guy who opened my gym during COVID, and I'm so great and hear about all my accomplishments. And that's very easy. And, you know, there's some value in that story. But I think what I wanted to accomplish was to help people understand that you're just one choice away from being, like, a better person. Like, most of my life, I've just not been a great person. Very selfish.
Starting point is 01:20:44 I've had some, some major, major, major failures in life. I did five years in prison. Five years in prison? Yeah. May I ask what you were in prison? Vehicle, Calamacide. I was,
Starting point is 01:20:54 I was a 20-year-old kid driving around like an absolute idiot. After a night of drinking, I didn't drink and drive that night, but I woke up in the morning. He still had alcohol in my system, was driving down a back road. Like a 20-year-old kid
Starting point is 01:21:05 with a four-cylinder car that he thinks is a race car and going really fast, and I teabone somebody and killed them on impact and was sentenced to five years for it. So I haven't always made the best choices. Yeah, we all can say that.
Starting point is 01:21:17 Yeah, yeah, yeah, in varying degrees with different details. But, you know, one of the things, that used to bother me when when you know I was at the height of my notoriety and I was going to all these speaking engagements as people would be like you know thank you so much thank you for what you do you know I wish I could do what you did it's like dude I'm just some guy who decided to make the right choice right you know what I mean like we knew it was the right idea to open our gym we knew
Starting point is 01:21:39 it was going to be hard we knew there was going to be sacrifice but we knew it was the right thing to do and I think a lot of us walk around with this with this like weight on our shoulders like we we're not capable of that like we we we can't carry our failures and our shortcomings with us. And it's like, oh, and I did it for years. Like, oh, I'm just a piece of crap. Like, I'm just, I'm just not a good person. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:21:59 Like, I'm not capable of doing something great because look at all this stuff I've messed up in the past. So I tell the full, not the full story, but I tell a lot more about my life, you know, in hopes that people will see what we did during COVID and how I have messed up and realize that like you are a lot more powerful than you think you are. And it's, it's not this, your redemption arc is a lot closer than you think it is. You know, it's not something that you won't see for 20 years. Like, you can start being a completely different and better person today, you know, just based on little choices.
Starting point is 01:22:31 Yeah. Yeah, that's really difficult for a lot of people to look in the mirror. Yeah, it's extremely difficult. And we all fall down and you just got to get back up. You've got to learn from it. A lot of people just can't learn from them mistakes. Yeah, I mean, I fell down and stayed down for years. You know, that was like my crutch.
Starting point is 01:22:47 You know, that was, and it became an excuse not to be a good person, you know, because I just, oh, I'm just, oh, I'm just. just, you know, I mess up everything, you know, whatever. And, you know, it took me a couple good choices. You know, COVID wasn't the only good choice I made, but like that was the first time, I think, in my adult life where it was like, here's the right thing. And it's going to be really hard for you to do. And here's the wrong thing. And you can choose the wrong thing and nobody will be mad at you, right?
Starting point is 01:23:12 Because everybody else was choosing the wrong thing. We could have opened up our back door and just let people in and quietly stayed open. Right. But the right thing was, no. Knock the door to him. Yeah. knocked the door down. And it was like I was faced with that choice.
Starting point is 01:23:25 And it was the first time as a fully grown man that I was like, all right, I'm going to take the hard choice, the right one. You know, and that's it's it. And I could have passed that by. And everybody has those opportunities. Yeah. So that's the real takeaway from the book. That and I talk a lot of political craft.
Starting point is 01:23:41 Where can they find your book at? Find Your Hill.com. The title of the book is called Find Your Hill. You can order it right from there. I sign and ship out every copy. I'm self-written, self-edited, self-published. Yeah, a lot of people use ghost writers. Well, quick story.
Starting point is 01:23:56 The book was supposed to be ghost written. And the ghost writer turned me over probably the worst book I've ever written or ever not written. So you had to write it. I did. I did, I did, because we did a pre-sale. We did a pre-sale. And I was like, this is the worst thing I ever read. It was horrible.
Starting point is 01:24:15 And, you know, the pre-sale had gone on for like a year already. So I was like, oh, man, I got to write a book like now. But I'm very thankful that it didn't work out. because if you're going to tell a story, it's best to be told through your own words. Yeah, you can get the book. You can also get it on Amazon. I don't touch it, though, so I won't sign it,
Starting point is 01:24:31 and I only get a couple bucks. Oh, yeah. I can buy it off the website. Yeah. So rather for them to go to your website. Either one. Either one. I would ask you about what prison was like,
Starting point is 01:24:41 but I'm sure it's in the book, so I won't ask. It's not a great time. It's really boring. It's mind-numbing, I'm sure, too. It's, well, the worst part of it is, you know, like, yeah, you have the violence and you have like the chaos of prison and all that. But the worst, the worst thing is just watching the world go, go on without you. You know, everybody you love, uh, their life goes on and your doesn't.
Starting point is 01:25:04 You're just an adult time out, you know. Right. That's, that's the hardest part because that can, that weight can crush you if you don't figure out, you know, like who you are. You know, and that was, that was a big moment for me because I didn't know who I was before I went. And you can't run from it. You can't run from like the voice in your head, the questions that you have about yourself. your deepest fears. It's like, you know, in the real world, you can just be like, yeah, I don't feel like thinking
Starting point is 01:25:26 about anything. I'm going to scroll Instagram. Right. Right. But in prison, you're just, you just got the wall, you know, and push-ups. Yeah, yeah, push-ups. You can only do so many push-ups until you're like, man, I got to think now. Yeah, right, yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:39 But it's, overall, it was definitely a net positive for me. And it's, it can be for anybody. It's not always that way. There's a two-thirds recidivism rate because the prison system isn't really designed to help you. Right. You're kind of on your own in there. but yeah yeah it's an interesting experience for sure yeah don't recommend yeah hey man this has been a great podcast i want to thank you for coming yeah thank you
Starting point is 01:26:01 thank you thank you thank you thanks for having you guys for being uh an objective conservative thank you very much appreciate you awesome
