a tragic event that just took place. At this point, everybody knows about the six killed in Nashville shooting. Victims identified. Three of them were nine-year-olds. The names are given on this article. We don't need to go through the names. Two of them were teachers.

One of them was a substitute teacher, 61-year-old. The other one was a custodian. And the other one was 60-year-old. The head of the covenant school was killed by this girl that is a transgender, identified as a transgender. I'll read this to you shortly after 10 AM. Okay, three adults and 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 28 years old, Audrey Hale, who once attended this school was killed after being confronted by officers, below is what we know about

this development. Shortly after 10 AM on Monday, a shooter opened fire at Covenant School, a private Christian school attached to a church enrolling roughly 200 students from a pre-K through sixth grade with 30 faculty members. The Metropolitan National Police Department said the shooter who was armed with an AR style rifle and an AR style pistol and a shotgun. And how can care? Enter the school through a locked site entrance after shooting the door down. The asylum shoot, Rob, if you can find a video because there's a video of her walking

and go to Twitter, type it and you'll find it. It's a Twitter's easiest way to find it. The asylum shot at the victims in a lobby of the building. She targeted random students in the school. Whoever she came in contact with, she fired rounds. The MMNPD Chief John Drake, the first call for the shooting came at 10-13 police officers, quickly responded and shoot or fired at officers through the window on the second floor.

Police entered the building, confronting the killer and shoot on the second floor. The attack lasted 14 minutes according to the police early Monday afternoon spokesperson of and a real university Vanderbim medical center confirmed that three children so we're taking to the hospital gunshots has uh... they've died from gunshot wounds you see the picture with the father and the daughter it's just it's hard this is tough man to see what's going on here uh... uh... it's it's tragic

to you out right there Look at her going through. This is her. How much email? It was a female that now identified to say, to man. Yeah, but let me explain. So when the corner shows up, and the corner shows up, and they do the autopsy,

it's a female. So let's just put that to bed. But what were you, you were just about the same. Well, you were saying you said the moment this happened yesterday you were driving past schools and what did you see in front of a school? So right off the rip, I drove by two schools on the way to my house. There's already cop cars sitting and I'm pretty sure everybody in America is seeing this right now.

There's cop cars without the sirens on just like that cop right there with their lights on as a deterrent, okay? And there's two, two points I want to hit, uh, Christy Prady, who writes for a value statement. So she wrote a article called, it's not a gun problem. It's a mental health problem. And she talks about how at what point, because let's be honest, okay? There's, you're not going to take away guns from Americans because

the moment you do a gun grab, the majority of the people like me pat, like you, that own legal guns, you're going to take all our guns away. And then you think all the gangsters from all the people like me, Pat, like you, that own legal guns, you're gonna take all our guns away, and then you think all the gangsters from all the Chicago and all they're gonna go, okay, you know what, the government asked for our guns, let's give it back. But she made a good point, I was talking to my boy Mike when we came in there, Pat, when are we gonna address the opioid crisis,

the drugs, the suicide rates going up? She did a good part in this, which it was a courting. No. The list goes on and on, the lack of faith about Christianity and oh god This is a Christian school and I think she went he she whatever I come I'm not gonna. She she went to that school Chrissy wrote this according to gun violence archives. There has been a 130 US mass shootings in the first quarter of 2023 89 of them have been school shootings. The full number of shootings in 2022 count

at 647. When are we going to take a little step back? Because you know automatically the government is going to say, up, everybody guns, give me your guns, give me your guns. It was actually quite embarrassing yesterday. Joe Biden spoke and the shooting already happened. You know what he came downstairs and said in the white house. Pull this up. Pull this up on the set. Because it's a little bit uncomfortable. It's uncomfortable. Should I, should I preface it, Pat? Yeah, go for it.

He comes downstairs, Pat. And he's joking. I'm good, I get it, guys. He's, he has dementia. He's out there. He starts talking about ice cream and how he loves ice cream and how they have ice cream upstairs. And then he sees four kids.

And he's like, look at all beautiful. These kids are, make them stand up. It's like, look at how beautiful these kids are. Make them stand up. It's like, what? How close you have to be. How close you have to be. This is right after shooting. Yeah.

He goes, go back, go back. My name is Joe Biden. My name is Joe Biden. I'm Dr. Joe Biden's husband. Six people just died. She's not a doctor. And I cheat his ice cream, chocolate chip. I came down because I heard there was chocolate chip ice cream. Look at this.

I'm ridiculous. By the way, I have a whole refrigerator to fall upstairs. Yeah. Yeah. And then what about the one, and then he spots four kids in the back and he's like, look, who's beautiful kids are those? And he was this for him to talk about the shooting. Well, he's supposed to be talking about the shooting

because I mean, it happened regardless of what he, he addresses it later on, Pat, but let me explain something to you. The tone deaf of this moment, yeah, he's lost it, but there's people that are dead. The first thing you should be talking about is that, not joking around. Okay, so right, by the way, check this out.

No, just pause it. Whether he's gonna talk about it or not, look at the time at the top. Yeah. It's live. It's 243 Eastern time. This was at 10 a.m. Eastern time. It's been four four hours and 43 minutes since the incident. And you're joking. He's having a good time. But I have parents lost a nine-year-old child.

A two 61-year-old teacher on a custodian and a sixty year old dean of the school head of the school and you're joking about this. He's happy about not happy about it. I'm just saying. I don't know. I'm not saying she's happy. No, no, he's not happy. I'm saying I'm saying he's he's told that I'm gonna say two things Pat and here's what is besides the mental health that Christie was talking about. When are we gonna okay? Can we at least try something different. I know when you have this conversation of more guns, if you see a cop pat, if you see a cop car somewhere,

and you know what, the target by where I live, there's a cop car pat, just chilling sitting there, no cop is there, you know what that does? That makes somebody that's thinking about doing some scurly shit out of shooting or stealing, I'm not gonna go there. Why don't we try for the sake of these kids and God rest all the souls of all

the people that passed away put some armed professional people just in the school talk about this we talk with levic we talked about this on a couple different podcast ninety nine thousand public schools in the u.s. sixty thousand year hired retard military police officers that six billion dollar per year we give you crane a hundred forty billion dollars we could have kept the kids

for safe for another 14 years. By the way, I don't know the exact numbers, but that sounds about right. And we talked about why not make the investment to do that. 14 minutes is how long this person was in there before he killed him. 14 minutes, you know what's 14 minutes?

You know what's 14 minutes? So in 14 minutes, how many places can you walk and disbuilding in a parking lot? You can walk up and down this thing 10 times. Oh my God. In 14 minutes. So by the way, the fact that, and I know this is going to sound strange, it could have been way more than six

in 14 minutes. Right. It could have been way more than six in 14 minutes. Question was asked of one of the heads in charge saying, hey, what could you have done? You know, the door was locked. Are you guys going to do anything different to put a cup in front of all the doors? You can't put a cup in front of all the doors.

So, you know, the risk is going to be there. But for you to, I mean, you know how certain security, you have in place to protect certain buildings that you walk in and it triggers something. There's got to be a better technology. Like by the way, this is a great opportunity for an innovator and an entrepreneur to be looking at the same.

There's a major need for this. Parents would support it. If this whatever technology come up would it cost XYZ amount of money? That school can go to the parents and say, hey, for this much money we can offer, this kind of protection for the schools. Are you guys up for it? Private enterprise can do it. This is a private

school. Public needs to go figure out a way to address this, but if it keeps happening over and over again, there's got to be a way to address this issue. And why won't they, if it keeps happening and you're not giving us any other, can we at least try something? Can we put armed, professional, not PTSD veterans? Cause like Pat, me, I was a cop in the military, you know I'm really good at shooting, put somebody like me in there, cause think about it Pat, let's just say,

for devil's out, you're a shooter, Adam, and you're thinking about going to this school. If you know somebody like me is in there, you might pick a different school, am I right? What's this Rob? So this is a bulletproof safe room that they've installed inside of a school in the United States to help students and teachers

in case of an extra. Can you make a bigger one? So 22 million views, press play. Oh wow. Oh, that's sick. Oh wow. And then you just go in there and then that's it. Oh wow, that's actually pretty good.

From my point of view, whatever I first came in here and I saw this, I was like, don't I get it? See, I love that. Yeah, that's amazing. Now, it comes down to cost. It comes down to a bunch of different things, but I love that. Yeah, I love it for some like that to be in place. Go ahead Tom.

You know, when you defund the police, this is what you get. I mean, we're gonna talk a little bit later about Portland and what's happened to the economy up there But there are private schools that are already doing things right now and unfortunately You know this one got through but there were two things here The number of victims or could have been was much higher and I think these police also learned From Texas and what happened in a wall day Remember the police waited outside and they were strategizing an hour and 14 minutes They said I'll correct an hour and four years for the police in the air for less than an hour. Please. I saw you yesterday, I said, said, these police were armoring up, running from the patrol cars.

You know what I'm saying? The secondary armor, Pat, you know, and the helmet and everything. And they were going in and they were getting live briefing. They figured out where they were and they didn't take any moments. They were like, okay, second floor up here, in and up. So they didn't wait. The police here, Pat, didn't wait. It was 14 minutes, it was just 14 minutes too long.

But they learned a lot from a wall day about the local law enforcement saying, hey, you know what, I have to armor up and I gotta get in and I gotta be up. And I think schools need to understand it would not take tremendous investment. There are schools already that I visit you go through the front doors Which is like a weather door. It's kind of like in the northeast. We have the weather door at a restaurant and then you walk in There's a second door, you know that little square area. Well

The it is so easy to make those Bulletproof and basically, you know crash proof And then you have the little camera there. Anybody been to a school where you have that situation, walk through the first thing, it's it, it, and one security guard, a roaming security guard, and the 14 minutes is going to come down to four minutes. It's just the willingness to do it. It's, the cost is not huge and it's the willingness to do it. One side will say huge. So willingness to do it. One side will say, take away all the guns. This will solve the issue. And then a mentally ill person is going to put, okay, thank you, Pat. I'm going to interrupt

you on that. Timothy McVeigh went to a fricking home depot and loaded up a truck with fertilizer. If you are mentally deranged, yeah, if you are mentally deranged, you can find low tech common things to carry it out. Your car. You can just drive through a group of on a playground. That's that. Correct. You can drive through, oh, this has never happened. Drive into SUV through people celebrating a sports victory. Yeah. Never heard of that. You know, while yelling out the window never happens. Yeah. The mental, the people that are mentally challenged, we need to raise the American consciousness of it's not just about when George Bush said, if see something, say something, you know,

about people, you know, certain people walking around and looking suspicious. This is, we have mentally disturbed people in this country that need help and we need to harden the schools and also we need to proactively be looking at it and what you're talking about about fentanyl. It's a multi-point issue that that People on the left just want to say it's all about the guns. No, it's not. It's a notep guns. No, it's not. It's like, no, Pats, I feel like, this country used to be all about the children,

love and protect the children. Kids, kids, they don't got a freaking chance. They're getting sexualized left and right. You know what I mean? They don't give a damn about them in school, like, bro, they're in school. You have to protect these innocent people. And I'm saw, and I know it people from the left

are like, what, more fire to step a fire No, you have to stop the bad guys and sometimes you got to arm the good guys to fight the bad guys And I'm sorry. That's what it is bro. Put me in that school. I guarantee you that person would have had 14 minutes to do shit By the way, you know you know, you know, what's the one state that has the lowest crime in all of America that a lot of people are moving to right now and no one's talking about it. You know what state it is? I guess. Idaho, okay.

Do you know Idaho is one of the states at the top with the most people who have a license to carry. It's 8%. Okay, license to carry. You go to a restaurant, there's 10 people there. One of them is carrying. Yeah, okay. So, guess what happens? You wanna go rob carry. You go to a restaurant. There's 10 people there. One of them is carrying. Yeah, okay. So guess what happens? You want to go rob a place? Go rob a place. So now to the people that are saying if we bang guns

That's the solution. No problem. There's something called data. Chicago leads the way. Okay, Baltimore leads the way. You can go to a lot of these states and cities with the way. You can go to a lot of these states and cities with strong gun laws and see how it's working out. It's called case study. If you go to a business school to get an MBA, an average MBA grad is going to go through hundreds of case studies that they look at. Here's Amazon case study. Here's Lulu Lemmon case study. Here's Apple case study. And you'll see what's working and what's not working. There's plenty of case studies for that and people are going to lose their month when they talk about this. Here's the other part.

Pull up the tweet between exchange between JD Vance and Keith Obramon. So watch this. JD Vance, uh, Senator out of Ohio. Yeah. So we're still learning about the horrific shooting in Nashville. But if early reports are accurate, that's a trans shooter targeted a Christian school.

There needs to be a lot of soul searching on the extreme left, giving in to these ideas isn't compassionate, dangerous. Look what Keith Obramon says. Number one, you're remarkably stupid and a hateful creature or B, why don't you use that little brain power you have to explain the irrelevant reality here. This is an alumni of a Christian school who targeted it, right? So the back and forth of commentary with these guys, first, they don't want to identify. This is a trends. 100% individual. And to go through that and try to normalize it is potentially causing some of this.

I think Tom, when you see something like this exchange with our buddy and that article I sent you with the Tennessee, what was the newspaper, the Tennessee Inn? Where it says in there, if you read the article, it says the suspect who police have identified as a 28-year-old transgender man entered a school through a side entrance and began shooting. Identified if you can just control F, control F, put transgender, you'll find that sentence, there it is.

Put control F, identified as a 20-year-old transgender man So here's here's what becomes when they're trying to play these types of games. Yeah, I'm so confused There's a big difference between ideological beliefs and Demands don't make me sit there and say no you have to be more compassionate No, no, no, you believe that more power to you This is happening. We have to give credence to that as well that maybe there's some issues going on here with individuals like this that are coming in

wanting to do something. And the first thing you want to talk about is what? The first tweet Biden has right after this event, guess what it was talking about, taken laws. Yeah, take away your guns. Everybody was talking about taking away guns. And not necessarily taking away guns. It starts off with over-regulated guns,

is what the conversation starts with. I'm Pat Pug. Chrissy sent me a clip of Benny Johnson who Elon Musk liked. The shooter was trans. The Colorado Spring Shooter identified as non-binary. The Denver Shooter identified as trans. The Aberdeen Shooter identified as trans.

The Nashville Shooter identifies as trans. There's something going on on like we said. Mental, we have to check, that's number one. Everybody's always gonna go for the guns. What the hell is going on with people, the younger, suicide rate is at an all time high, mental disorders, all these problems, we have to go back to the person that's behind

the trigger, not the gun itself. And until we do that, Pat, you're gonna keep seeing this, they're gonna keep killing innocent people until that changes. But do you think they give a damn? His job, their goal, the government, is to disarm us. The second amendment is for what? To stop from tyranny from your government.

So when the government is telling me, give me your gun, I don't believe you. I'm sorry. Go vote right, you're free. Do you think that's gonna happen our lifetime? Taking away our gun? No. I don't think so, Pat.

And this is the thing, people were like, well, they got lasers and they could kill you if they wanted to, okay, could do all the lasers stuff, but at least when you guys come to get me, I'm taking one of them out. That's it, I wanna have my gun. Do you think they're gonna take guns away from us in our lifetime?

No, I think it's gonna be progressively regulated. And I think at some point in time, you're gonna have the right mix in Washington and they're going to declare X number of weapons to be assault weapons. And you'll notice also in this article, did you catch the little AR style pistol? I don't know what an AR style pistol is. And what they're attempting to do is to create use AR almost as profanity or danger and

apply. You see what I mean? Yeah, salt rifle. Yeah, and which doesn't stand for a salt rifle, but as you know, of course, but they don't. And I think in our lifetime, we're gonna see, we're gonna see that start. You don't need a machine gun to kill Bambi, and other things like that is what you're gonna hear it,

but I think we'll see that in our lifetime, but I don't think we're gonna see a ban on our lifetime. We'll just say one thing. I don't think we're going to see a ban on our lifetime. I'll just say one thing. I don't think that we're going to see guns being taken away, but my biggest fear is that as Americans, we're becoming desensitized to these types of tragedies, okay, because this is in the news cycle right now. By tomorrow it will be gone, and that's the reality of it, whether it's Columbine, whether it's Sandy Hook, whether it's Uval Day,

whether it's Parkland that was just 10 minutes up to street from here, whether it's here in Nashville, it's like this is becoming part of Americana. And that is fucking disgusting to me. And what's the definition of crazy doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting different results. So we need to figure out what solutions can be implemented aside from taking away guns. Because I don't think that's a solution. I think that's a great idea of putting cops and security guards and ex-military in front

of every single school in America. Why is that not already done already? And this is going to be a little contrary in view. And this is sort of the antithesis of what our traditional system is. I think that if you commit a mass murder tragedy, your family should have to pay some repercussions for what you do. I agree 100%.

And I know that's not how the legal system works. But at what point are we just gonna say oh this psychopath came into school We killed him he killed six kids 10 kids 20 kids kids up justice served. Yeah, what's gonna happen to this person's parents? I agree how did he get the guns who put him in the house who's taking care of this person? I know there's gonna be people out there saying no, that's not how the judicial system works Well, whatever's working right now a fucking't fucking working. Something's got to change. Well, you're right. And by the way, you can tell those people it is how the judicial system works. Find out what happens if you have a kid under 18 years old that goes in and breaks

a window at a neighbor's house or has a car crash or a neighbor's crash. Find out who has to pay for that. It's the parents, the parents of that under 18 year old. And so you're exactly right. And I think people need to understand this is how the justice system works. And there are parents that are getting sued for the acts of their children, including assaults, under the age of 18.

Good. And this person was 28. So who do you punish? Yeah, well, this person was like, that's one of the eight year old growners. Oh, whatever. The closest contact is. I from looking at that a picture that person probably has a cat or multiple cats You were taking on your cats. I don't care if it's their best friend

I don't care if it's their aunt their uncle their grandma their dad whoever the closest person is What's your logic? This person logic behind that like I think I'm because if you kill the if you kill this person tell me okay Yeah, who's paying the price? I'm asking you, who's paying the price? Okay, the families will be grieving. The children are dead. Totally get it, at what point? At what point are decisions you make,

your decisions, not those who raised your decisions, at what point? Obviously, you have to take ownership of the decisions you make, but we're talking about vengeance here. And consequences. I think it's consequences. It's up to the key to the shooter.

But that shooter doesn't care about consequences. That's why they're going into a... No, no, no. You need to do it. I'm assuming that every person that does this has someone close to them. Yep, come on. That they care about.

Yep. Okay, and just follow the math. Who do they live with? Who takes care of that? That's a different story. So let me show you a text exchange. She, come on. That they care about. Yeah. Okay. And just follow the math. Who do they live with? Well, that's a different story. So let me show you a text exchange. She had that day. I don't know if you got to see the text or not. Let me send it to you. Rob, did I send it to you or no? Okay, let me send you this text to you and show this because this, this is disturbing. So somebody knew this was about to happen. And this is the part where Adams argument gets some credence. This person about to happen, and this is the part where Adam's argument gets some credence. This person needs to be held accountable.

If you can, I send it to your computer and I send it to your phone. This is the text exchange, zoom in. This is from who Pat, this is from the shooter. So somebody else is here. So basically that post I made on here about shoe that was basically a suicide note, I'm planning to die today.

This is not a joke. You'll probably hear about me on the news after I die. This is my last goodbye. I love you, see you again in another life. Audrey, you have so much more life to live. I pray God keeps and covers you. And cover you. Cover you.

And I'm born. And no, no, like you have to be on the phone calling. And it's every mind. Every mind one one call. I won to be on the phone calling every nine, one, one call. I won't run an FBI because this person's go to whoever Aiden is, okay, step up. Needs to pay a price. I agree. Because, because if there is an understanding

from Audrey that, oh, if I do this, Aiden, who I love will spend their life in jail, have ramifications. All you need to do is think twice, like something needs to happen here. But, but based on the law right now, Aiden is not responsible for anything. Well, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, I think this, this text from Aiden, like even if, listen, heesh, whatever, I'm not gonna get to this game. Basically, I don't know if this person, this is a suicide, no, even if you love this person, you gotta go try to find out, help them, call the cops,

cause this is like a cry for help, like I'm gonna kill myself. There was no mention about killing or shooting the kids, but like I think Aiden needs to be on the ball like that. You ever had people in your life close to you that said they're going to kill themselves. I had one person once say, like, they were really, really close-pat. I not only called the parent, I called 911 and I was speeding to their house to make sure that they were okay.

They didn't do it and they're doing great. Cops show up. Cops did show up. The bomb showed up. She was hitting the person. Was it a real attempt? Was she? No, it was he wanted to end it.

He was on his like he was sad. The press. I've never had someone say that. I've been around depressed people that said I've contemplated it, but it was usually a very rational conversation where they were saying they contemplated, but no one called me at that moment and said, hey, I'm out of here. How about you, Anna? Indirectly, yeah.

It's like not, not a place. So sometimes if you have somebody like this in your life, this is their way of getting attention and you don't know which one's gonna be real and which one's not. So one time somebody did this to me, one many times and it would ruin my day fear concern I had to go the disruption at the highest level So regular day they say this and you have to go to check what's going on

You have to get your choice going on finally. I'm like this last time middle day I'm in a business appointment meeting this person calls and says I just took this many pills I'm taking my own life And I said no problem. I'm calling the cops. They're on their way. No, no, don't call the cops. No, I'll call the cops Cops showed up good and cops went there took this person to the hospital took him to the mental hospital got everything checked out and They said you want to take your life? No, no, I don't want to take my life. So why are you telling this person you want to take your life?

Long story short, that behavior stop. When you have people like this in your life, they're, man, it's not. It's easy to make the claims that you make, right? Like, you know, you talk about your father openly. Nobody knows the life you lived with make, right? Like, you know, you talk about your father openly, nobody knows the life you lived with him, right? Nobody knows it. You can tell the stories, but we're gonna be like, come on Adam, you know, we're like, no, I'm telling you, this is what happened to me. So who can take that away from you?

Nobody can take that away from you. You probably, no matter how many hours you took to try to explain to us what it's like, we're only gonna know less than 5% of it. Is that a fair assessment to say, we're gonna know less than 5% of it? To have people like this, and I feel, to me, I feel sorry for having people like this in your life.

So what leads to people being like this? Okay, let's go through a couple of things. I'm spitballing, I don't know, just, I'm just openly talking. So what gets somebody to get to a place like this? One is upbringing, Yeah, 100%. Credibility, the credit there goes to parents. Good or bad. Okay, schooling, where you grew up,

the school you go to, teachers, society, here's drugs, teachers, doctors, I had a dentist that was selling viket into my friend. My best friend. He was selling viket into I went and found the dentist I went and found the dealer and I had a very interesting conversation with them But I lost my friend by done. He came to suicide. It's too late So, you know, who do you give credit to who gets responsibility for this? Parents, you know some parents raise their kids well

and they go to school and somebody gets a hold of them and you lost them. I had a good friend of mine at the house, the individual I spoke to about our, you know, before I started insurance company, this the guy spoke to Bill and Beth is wife, they were over at the house, we're having a conversation together. And he was saying as a parent,

whatever you do between zero and 12, that's it. That stays. From the day the kid is born till 12, that's your shot at giving this kid a chance at life, like to make the right choices, the values, the principles. So, does a bit of the credit goes to how this person was raised, 0 to 12? Almost everybody I meet that is willing

to have a conversation about this. I always go to tell me your father, your relationship with your dad. I hate him. Really, what happened? He was never there. Okay, I mean, that's natural rage you're gonna have. I can't say how often when I'm talking to someone trans,

whatever it may be. Yeah, my father's an asshole, my father's a dis. Sometimes it's, I have a good relation with my mom, I'm like that. Okay, cool. But sometimes it's not. You have to look at what caused this and see if any of it we can control.

And then no matter how much of it we can control, some of it we just can't control. I agree. If God gave us the free will to make the choices that we make, that means some of the choices we make are going to be horrible choices. This person made a horrible choice. You ruin six people's lives. How long is it going to take for those people to stop mourning and recover? Especially the nine year olds. Are you kidding me? That scar is permanent. Oh, permanent that takes place. That's not an impulse.

It was a plan. Yeah, and Pat, I respect, okay, and I know people are gonna be like, oh, we could, listen, at least the guy is giving us, give me an option, give me other things. We talked about Adam back in the day, bro, when we was like, these terrorists that are doing stuff, guess what, you do this?

Just giving your heads up, your wife that you love, and I'm sorry when it comes, I mean, we went extreme. But Adam, when you were talking about putting the veterans or the ex-cops and schools, and you know what argument you're going to get, you're not how expensive that's going to be. Okay, then guess what? Let's do a haul on the, what, $300 million we're sending to fucking Ukraine and put it into protecting our people, our kids, and our schools. Let's stop giving other people money and protect

this war that's going on. You can't put a price on saving our kids. That's what I'm saying. Am I right, Ron? How about the war? How about the war and crazy people shooting up schools gets no more money to anybody till we figure out that solution.

So don't give me the, we don't got money to protect the kids bullshit argument. I hate that. When I hear that don't give me the, we don't got money to protect the kids' bullshit argument. I hate that. When I hear that, it drives me bananas, okay? There's money, you just don't want to do it, because they're gold to take away our guns anyways. You know, every American can engage on the mental health crisis.

And I'll tell you how. I was listening to something. It was a quick summary. I understand psychologist and psychiatrist, maybe listening, we'll say, it's over simplification. I'm not the expert, I'm repeating what I heard. And they said, look, there's two major sides here. One side is true, deep mental illness, delusional episode, schizophrenia, drug addictions that bring across things, and you're on one side of the fence, where it's real mental illness and a huge challenge. On the other side of the fence where it's real, you know, mental illness and a huge challenge.

On the other side of the fence, you have SISW, self-image, self-worth, and that brings depression. And you have a lot of that right now that's showing in the studies on social media about girls with this social media being an endless comparison playing field. And you know, I didn't get as many likes. I guess I'm not as pretty. The My video I made wasn't as good. I'm not as crazy. I'm not as cute. You have self-image, self-worth, and depression. That is the side that all Americans can work on.

It's called, put the phone down and have conversations with kids. I really admire Adam when he talks about his nephew and the things he does with his nephew because that is an example. Whenever I'm around my friends' kids, I always do this silly little thing with hand shakes because it puts a value in a person and it puts recognition and you're looking into their eyes. But there's things all of us can do as Americans and it starts with putting the phone down and having face-to-face conversations with people. Because the mental health side of things, you know, you may be helping somebody on the self-image self-worth side. And these things go to depression.

If you go to the movies recently, how many of us have seen it? Anybody seen the Dove commercial aimed at girls and social media and self-image self-worth? That they show before the movies? No. And they talk about, hey, put the phone down, you look good. She said, maybe I'll do this, maybe I'll do that. And they're like, put the phone down, you're beautiful. Right? And so you have dove out there, they're trying to sell soap

and they're trying to do it to be politically active and be on the right side of an argument. But there's a deep truth that goes in there. And I think all of us can reach out from these digital relationships and be intentional about personal relationships. And it's amazing that you say that Tom, because we just went full circle to when we started about social media apps like TikTok and everything and all that. It's a war for the youth and driving, like those type of people are losing their minds because they have no identity, they don't know, it's all a battle of who

liked me, my video, this, this and that, and it comes full circle to where we're at a war and it's a, it's like I said, it's not a ground war, there's shooting guns and everything, that's the war that they're doing. I heard it described as the endless comparison playing field and the kids are trapped on it. How many likes that I get is my video as funny as theirs. All the things to go then, this endless comparison playing field, and nobody's, there's always gonna be somebody

more something better or something there, and then you're gonna feel bad. You feel, well I'm just not there, and feel less about it. And it's all happening in the digital realm, not face to face. What pages did it go? It finished.

No, just gonna finish this thought. My biggest fear against is just what's next. Do you recall when the Yovol day shooting was in San Antonio area? A year ago this month. Yeah, it was May 24th, 2022. So less than a year ago. So here are just some stats for you.

There have been 13 school shootings this year that resulted in injuries or death. We're only three months into the year, guys. There have been 157 shootings since 2018. 51 school shootings with injuries and death last year, 2022. The most in a single year since education we began tracking such incidents of 2018. There were 35 incidents in 2021, 10 in 2020,

and 24 each in 2019 and 2018. So they're going up. It's just so sad and it's so tragic. And there's no price that you can put on protecting children's lives when they're in school and congress and and senators and representatives and the president figure this shit out. I know it's not that hard but we you know I mean if we could put shit on Mars and all these places you can't hear you hear something here's a thing if if they can unite on TikTok,

they can unite on this. So why don't you unite on this and see what you can do? You know the left is gonna say, can we do background checks, can we do a training, can we do this, and the right's gonna say, can we instead of sending money to here, put some money into this, but they're gonna have to go back

and forth to figure this thing out. The question about will they eventually take the guns away in our lifetime? The answer is most likely no, but will some states, yes, and what's gonna happen to those states? They're gonna lose people who feel more protected having guns, and they're gonna go to states

that allow you to have guns, and they're gonna defend the second amendment, and the same way where people left LA, California, they left New York, they left Illinois to come to states like Florida, Texas, and some other states. It's the same way you're gonna see people leaving. And a quiet state like Idaho is gradually gonna grow in the track certain markets. There's gonna be states like that that are have a higher freedom score, higher values and principle score,

which we'll get into here in a minute of an all-sterjournal article, they're gonna track those people. So I do think some states are gonna go away with that. Why is there no committee on this? I don't know if there is, I'm asking. Why is there no committee on this? There probably is.

I would say there probably is, and if there is, and they, they, Well, that's not President Adam. That's not, Ukraine is more important in the situation. Well, that's not president Adam. That's not it's Ukraine is. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Meaningless. In the committees, there's bipartisan groups that come together. I mean, there's a January 6th committee.

Sure. Okay. How is there not a school shooting committee save the kids with five Democrats, five Republicans figured this out. Let's get to the next story here. Again, our condolences goes out to those six families who had this event happen to them yesterday,

no matter how much we talk about it, those guys are the ones that are having the biggest pain right now, having to explain this to your siblings of the 90-year-old of what just happened. This is not an easy situation for them. Our condolences goes out to those families. So next story. Cracker Barrel becomes latest company

to flee Portland, amid rising crime, retail theft. It is closing its final eateries in the Portland metro area, citing the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on its business. The closure are in Beaverton, Tualitin, and Ben, our effective March 20th, the spokesperson for Crackerle Braille said the pandemic had made it difficult to staff

and profitably run the stores. Walmart announced it was closing all of its Portland stores in February, citing financial reasons. The CEO Walmart had previously warned that stores would close if retail crime didn't subside. Crime and homelessness have been growing issues in Portland over the past couple of years.

Would over 2600 downtown businesses failing, filling a change of address with the US Postal Service, a Nike store in Northeast Portland abruptly closed in November 2022, just a couple months ago. After string of brazen shoplifting incidents, a real estate developer and lifelong Portland native Dustin Michael Miller said the city was out estate developer and lifelong portlet native. Dustin Michael Miller said the city was out of control and unrecognizable. Tom, what do you have to say about the story? You wanted to define the police. You wanted to say that people are just acting out because of decades of discrimination. You got it. And this is the unintended consequences. And so why don't we just substitute retail theft for excessive gun control?

And that is exactly what is happening in Oregon. People are leaving, and now the law-biting citizens and the people that love Oregon, like this guy here says, it's out of control and unrecognizable. Unrecognizable means he recognizes a time when it was different, when it was a time for his family and what he was doing.

But this is not gonna stop. Defun the police, this is the polluted pond at the end. So now what do you do with the polluted pond? You go upstream, you see what polluted it. And the upstream problem was you allowed What was the name of that little they they gave a name to the rob the downtown area? They called it the something the chat the chas thing. Yeah

What's up? It took over the the downtown Portland? I mean a chas chas. I think it's called it They called it something which was the it's a occupation of that Yeah, it was the called. Yeah, they called it something, which was the, it's an occupation of that, like, the streets. Yeah, exactly. It's all about, yeah. This is our area. No cops will be allowed here.

And this is what's going on here and occupied Portland. Yeah. And so you got it. You got what you asked for, you know, and it's terrible. And look what's happened to the citizenry that was not behind that.

You know, a hundred percent of the people in Portland voters were not in favor of, deep fund the police. They were not in favor that. You know, 100% of the people in Portland voters were not in favor of deep fund the police. They were not in favor of, you know, oh, just let the looters go. It's, you know, just sort of economic redistribution. Really? Here's the outcome. Everything's closing.

You have an uninhabitable city. Now what? Exactly. And the fact that they were blaming COVID, it's like, no, just be honest and say, listen, we messed up. We supported the wrong policies. But you know what I love about this? What?

Here's what I love about this. You know, 18 years ago, I'm 25 years old. We're sitting in a room with a bunch of other guys who are around the same age and we start at the same time with the St. George company. And everybody is bragging about the fact that one thing's bigger than the other, they're hard to work in, they're better leaders,

they're better builders of leaders, all this other stuff, right? You know how the meeting ended? I said, well, no one about 10 or 20 years. Oh wow. And that's how this thing works. You realize one guy slowed down at a certain number, one guy, the attention got to his head, one guy was all about the girls.

He was always distracted by the girls. The other guy was arrogance. The other guy was ethics. The other guy was a Christian guy who was very happy. He reached a number and he was cool with it. He didn't want to keep continuing going. He was doing good for himself. No problem. But eventually you learned who the real big thinker was. Time who the real big thinker was. Time reveals a lot of things. Time reveals a good friendship. Time reveals a good relationship. Time reveals a good economy.

Time reveals a bad policy. Time reveals a good politician. Time reveals a good administration. Time will reveal everything. It's either your best friend or your worst enemy. Nobody beats time. Nobody. Time is going to get you.

If you do right, eventually the market's gonna say, listen man, what do you like this guy or not? We gotta give him credit. When you were screaming off the top, you're lungs how amazing amazing your policies. What about the funding to police like Tom said? Yes, but it's showing now. Not a good idea. Not a good idea. We're leaving you. When you were screaming about the fact that hey, let's put double mask and all this stuff in the state of California and do you remember when it was text people who are not wearing a mask or their outer, not respecting the, what is it, the nonessential text?

And we'll give you $200. If you can tell people who are out there snitching on them, that's Mayor Garcetti when they have the text and concept. Guess what? Yeah, people don't want that. They left. Bad policies eventually get exposed. You cannot fake bad policies. It's

happening in San Francisco. Listen to this story with San Francisco. Tell me this makes any sense. So how many guys would like it if somebody in your community put up a free library for kids who can't afford to read books to go read books. And it's free at their own cost. At their own cost. They're not even asking you to pay for anything with this, right? So this family, in San Francisco, a couple decides to do this and watch what happens. It's page 15 story if you want to go to it. So San Francisco is forcing a couple to remove sidewalk obstruction or pay $1,400 fine. It's a little free library, okay? And by the way, this story is by insider.

It's not even a story by Fox or anybody else. It's an insider story on the left. The city of San Francisco has been cracking down on unpermaned projects that interview with public, ways including a little free library owned by Susan and Joe Myers, who were threatened with a $1,400, $2 fine if they did not remove it from the sidewalk. In front of their house, the crackdown is partly effort to remove decade old awnings on businesses, and Chinatown benches constructed by residents and other unpermitted objects, the library's popular Namaire's neighborhood,

and many residents staged a campaign to save it, resulting in the letters to the city from locals, including a young girl who begged the, please do not destroy John Susan's library, city officials have responded by saying they will do everything they can to make sure it stays in place the Myers could have obtained a permit for $1,400 to keep their library but they decided instead to work to change the system as a result city officials are considering cheaper permits around $5 for similarly free libraries and benches

and this is in a city, San Francisco, which if you've been in San Francisco 20 years ago, you're a credible city. If you've been to San Francisco recently, it ain't the same San Francisco. And that's their fight. I'm sorry, so bad thing about it. The city is gone to shit, part of my French,

and this is what you're worried about. This is what's pissing the people off. 1,400 bucks. Leave them alone. They're trying to do it. You're not small that thing is. It's small. It's a little baby angel in the body. It's not in the people of 1400 bucks Leave them alone. They're trying to small that thing is it's small. It's a little babies a little baby angel No, but in the way of people walking up right next to But that's the fight pat pat not the homeless guy doing crack and shooting up shit and they're giving them drugs on the right

That is pissing people off. Well now we know the Now we know how the math works in San Francisco You want to put a free library up to actually help people in your neighborhood, $1,402. Taking a dump on their front lawn is free. Right? So let's go back and take a look. This is an example of a liberal city hall that's just lost its freaking mind and it is indefensible. Even the residents of San Francisco have to look up and say, wait, wait, what?

I still have needles on the streets and you're still giving out bleach kits and clean needles and you're giving these out because, oh, well, we don't want the addicts to get HIV. Well, no problem. That way, he won't have HIV when he has a fentanyl overdose on Tuesday. Great. And you have all this stuff going on. Homelessness is a problem. And not just the homelessness, but the theft that goes with the homelessness and the disease and what's happening and the filth that's there that goes with the homelessness. Okay. So you're not doing anything about that.

and anything about that. And by the way, to keep the police department from being overwhelmed, you know, petty theft that like 500 is a non-punisherable. They don't even give you a J-walking ticket. And I think they raised it to a thousand. Somebody's, I'm done the chat and calling out, but that's not right. But I think they raised that.

So they did that so that they wouldn't be overwhelmed. So that basically what it tells thieves, you know, coach bag $3,000. Louis Vuitton bag $3,000. Don't take that. Laptop $9.99. Perfect. You know, make sure that whatever you take is under the threshold so that, you know, you're not going to be prosecuted. So the liberal city hall does this and then suffers the embarrassment. And this is embarrassment from both sides of the aisle on a Nationwide basis that something good that somebody actually tried to do in the shadow of a city doing nothing gets penalized No good deed goes unpunished in San Francisco. Yeah, I'll just say this. This is where I went

I just I wanted to see what the most liberal cities are and what the most conservative cities are. And it's not even close, like how much bigger the liberal cities are versus the most conservative cities. And I just think it's one of those things where the bigger your city gets, the more people you have, the more population and the diverse opinions and the diversity of racial equity, inclusion, all that kind of stuff like that, The more nonsensical things tend to get because you're dealing with so many people

and so many differences of opinions. And then you're trying to regulate and over-regulate in the nonsense and then you enter the, you know, like Tom's talking about, defund the police and be a lamb and you're dealing with so much stuff. So here's a list of the top 10 most liberal cities. San Francisco number one by far,

two DC, Seattle, Oakland, Boston, Minneapolis, Detroit, New York City, Buffalo, New York, Shockingly, Baltimore, Chicago, and then our friend Portland rounding out the top 12 right there. Then you have the most conservative cities. You got nobody's living in these cities. Jackson, Mississippi, the Woodlands, Texas, some city in Idaho, I can't even pronounce. Gainesville, Georgia, not even Gainesville, Florida, Provo, Utah, Fort Smith, Arkansas, Rapid City, South Dakota, Claremount, Florida.

I've never heard of it and I lived in Florida my whole life. Great Falls, Montana, Greenville, South Carolina. I'm just saying this. These liberal cities, as nonsensical as they are, their job is so much harder than conservative cities because there's so many more people in these cities. So here's a question you gotta ask. Here's a question you gotta ask.

And Adam, hear me out on when I asked this question for you. Every major city, did it start conservative or did it start liberal? Let me ask you one more time. Every great country, okay? Every great country, every great city, every great state, did it start conservative or did it start liberal? I would guess that it started a little bit more conservative.

Every great company that was founded was it founded by a capitalist or a socialist? Capitalist. Capitalist. Capitalist. Capitalist. Capitalist. Capitalist.

Capitalist. Capitalist. Capitalist. Capitalist. Capitalist. Capitalist. Capitalist. Capitalist.

Capitalist. Capitalist. Capitalist. Capitalist. Capitalist. Capitalist. build and create things, socialists and liberals destroy them. It's that simple. So, just because the city is big now, don't forget the people that built the city. The credit isn't who's running it today. Because what socialists are turned on by, the best example to give you a socialist is the following. You ready?

Here's socialists, okay? You're in a world with a lot of girls what happens if you bring a girl that you know she's a gold digger who will she find she'll find a do with the money will she ever do find a guy that dates the guy that doesn't have the money this is on gold digger principles. One of one night, like, he is shit. What she'll look like. She's solving for what? Big and gold is what she's solving for, right? She's solving for digging gold.

Okay. Socialists are not going to go to those cities. Those cities don't have money for them to dig. Socialists go to big cities to dig gold. AOC, maybe the biggest gold digger in all of America. They're digging gold. Let me go take all the money from the people that built an incredible city like New York and see if I can destroy them and demonize them. So every time you give this argument about it is harder to manage a liberal city. No, no, no, don't feel sorry for these guys.

Let's not get sympathetic for Nancy Pelosi on how hard our job is. San Francisco was once an incredible city. Those bridges were not built by socialist, okay? That city, that incredible all over the place you go to when you look at these, like I cannot even believe a city like this exists. How beautiful it is, right? A capitalist, a conservative, built that city. And eventually, a socialist, someone on the left came

and destroys the city. That's how cycles work. Companies are founded and built by capitalists. They're destroyed by socialist leaders within a company that want to please everybody. A company that's built at the beginning stages of it, they're built knowing they're gonna offend some people. Then it's destroyed by a newly-led that comes in that's afraid of offending the people that

are not grown to company. Rather than being worried about the people that are grown to company. I did a video yesterday with Kai and Brandon and Kelly and Mike and we're sitting here, we're kind of going through it and you know what the soul thing was about? Here's what the video was about. And right after this, I want to go into this article because I don't want to do this without this, and I got max seven call. I want you to think about Adam in your life, Vinny.

Yes. Tom, who gets the best out of you? Think about the people in your life that got the best out of you. Who got the best out of you? Think about names. I can give names. Who got the best at you? Think about names. I can give names. Who got the best out of you in your life? Who got the best at you?

Can you think of names? Give us some names. Yeah, like my mother. Okay, put my high school football coach. High school football coach. Give us this first name. Mike. Who else got the best at you?

Tom, who got the best at you? Gary and one ill. My parents. Who else got the best at you? Powerful. Who else got the best at you? Brother. Who else gets the best at you. Tom, who got the best at you? Gary and one ill. My parents. Who else got the best at you? Powerful. Who else got the best brother? Who else gets the best at you? Rob, who gets the best at you? In your life, who got the best at you? My father. Okay. Who else gets the best at you? In your life, friends, teachers, coaches, colleagues, who got the best at you,

yeah, co-workers, friends, who gets the best at you? Driven bosses, driven bosses, who else gets the best at you? Driven bosses. Driven bosses. Who else gets the best at you? Think about the names. You're going to place right now on who got the best at you, okay? Now here's the thing. You ready for the flip side? This guy, Trevor Mauad, who was the coach, mental coach for Russell Wilson.

He met him in 2012. Trevor Mahwad, okay? When he met him, he says, you're going to be great, your mics on Rob, you're going to be great because I want to make you mentally great. For 12 years, this guy and him, not 12 years, till he died, they talked every single day. Russell Wilson said there was not a day that went by what I'm talking to this guy. And he wins a Super Bowl. This guy is mental coached 12 different first round draft picks. Number one picks, I think, I think is 12 or 14. It's a big number. If you can find this five key principles, he follows, five key principles, he follows, five key principles, he follows. And he's going through all the stuff that he's developing.

Russell Wilson wins. Russell Wilson just had his worst career, worst season of his career last year, right? He's been on a downslope. You know when this guy died? 2021. What? Yeah, there's five things he talks about.

Number one, he talks about go neutral, no matter what happens in your life, try to stay neutral, stop giving credence to feelings. That's exactly what they are. They come and go. Use what you have. Don't be like, I'm not as tall as that.

I'm not going to use what you got. Don't compare yourself. Number four, focus on reducing negativity, not increasing positivity, and number five, watch your language on how you talk to each other as a team. Okay, stay on number four. So remember how I asked you the question about who gets the best at you?

Now watch this. Let me flip it on you. Let me flip it on you. Who do you know in your life who gets the best at you. Now watch this. Let me flip it on you. Let me flip it on you. Who do you know in your life that gets the worst at you? People that somehow some way got the worst at you. You had an idea. It was a great idea. They always shut down the idea. You're like, I don't wanna share ideas with this guy, okay?

Who got the worst at you? Who always compared you? Who always said, why can't you be like Mary's husband? Why can't you be like such and such as boyfriend? Why can't you be like such and such as son? Who gets the worst at you? Same type of people. No, not necessarily, it's different people.

So here's how life is. Sometimes we think it's better to get more of the people that get the best out of us, but what Trevor talks about, the battle is to eliminate the people that get the worst at you. It is more effective to eliminate the people that get worst at you than to increase the number of people that get the best at you, yet still keep those people that get the worst at you in your life. What's the moral of the story here? Hey, those people that get the best out of the people in that city, built these incredible Hey, those people that get the best out of the people in that city built these incredible cities.

Those people that get the worst out of people destroy these same cities. So these same cities that started off as capitalists, conservatives found, what is conservative by the way? Conservative means what? It just means fiscally responsible, get to work, be responsible, do your part, carry your own way,

take care of your family, why are your kids doing this, Adam, take care of your kids, Vinnie, pay your bills, man, why don't you do this, why don't you do that, Patrick, do your thing, conservatives, do your part, right? On your own, yeah. It's accountability. That's how great companies and great cities are built and destroyed by the rest.

Watch this article by Wall Street Journal, by the way, if we can pull this up, these stats are gonna shock you. America pulls back from values that once defined it. Okay, this is a Wall Street Journal by the way, if we can pull this up, these stats are gonna shock you. America pulls back from values that once defined it. Okay, this is a Wall Street Journal, NORC poll finds, okay, a new Wall Street Journal poll. Finds that American priorities have helped to find a national character for generations

such as patriotism, religion having children and involvement in the community are receding in importance. Money is the only priority that has grown and importance in the past quarter century. Younger Americans in particular place low importance on these values, many of which were central to the lives of their parents.

Only 23% of adults on the age of 30 said that having children was very important. You gotta see these numbers. Show the charts that you have. Take a look at this. Look at this one here, Rinne. Percent who say that these values are very important to them. Patriotism. 1998. 70%. That's only 25 years ago.

Today, 38%. Religion was 62%. 39%. Who was talking about God? Having children was 59% double 25 years ago. It's 30 people don't want to have kids today. Community involvement went from 47 to 62 down to 27. Money went from 31 to 41 to 43. If you go a little lower, look at these other numbers that it has with religion.

If you keep going lower, there's a few other charts. Okay, zoom in on this one here so we can see, so zoom in so we can read what it says at the top as well. Zoom out a little bit, a little bit more. Go a little lower so you can have, there you go. Percent who say these values are very important to them, personally shown amongst the youngest and the oldest age groups, patriotism. 36 percent, having children, age group,

look at the age group, religion, hard work, go to the bottom, the hard work, the only people that believe in that is what, above 62 years old, okay? Go lower, there's another chart that they have, I believe, that talks about, you know, read the people who say these values are very important to them.

Democrats, look at patriotism. Wow. Independence, look at Republicans. 59% Republicans are more patriot. By 36%, this is Wall Street Journal talking. Religion, Democrats, 27%. Republicans, 2X, having children, 26, 20, 20 38 community involvement

32 23 Democrats have the highest one without one community involvement money Democrats and Republicans are tied for money. So one area they agree with Not where we get it. They want to be given we want to earn it and that what he said would eat let me read the last one I want to thoughts. Okay. For each of the following has our society gone too far to not gone far enough or is it about right? Showed by percentage who say too far. Democrats, accepting people who are transgender. Okay, look at that. 60 points spread.

Look at this spread there, Adam. I don't know if you're looking at it. Yeah, 50% dams versus 75% Republicans. Schools and universities taking steps to promote racial and ethnic diversity. 6% to 50. Look at the, look how wide are the wings? How much we have divided, accepting people who are gay,

lesbian and bisexual. Seven, 31% is the people that are in the middle, reasonable ones. Look at Democrats and the independents. What? Seven's 7.31.52 businesses taking steps to promote racial ethnicity 7.29.52 promoting equality between men and women 2% but you would think the Democrats were doing it that's weird. No, no, it's it's the opposite of what you're thinking Yeah, it's the opposite of what you're thinking so when you look at data like this What do you think about? Tell me when you see this.

We're in a divided America. Number one is what I think. And number two, and I may not win any friends on this, but I got to be part of carrying the mantle because the values that made America great, that built America, still are necessary. We need people that are unapologetically, capitalists and entrepreneurs to build the jobs

and the tools and industry of tomorrow. We need that and along the way, we need to be, you know what? You know, we need to be neighborly and we need to serve in our communities and you look at this, someone has to carry the mantle for the things that truly build wonderful communities and you look at this, someone has to carry the mantle for the things that truly built

wonderful communities and companies. Here's my question to all of you, Tom, and YouTube and Adam. What made this shift? What from up, that was 25 years, Pat? What's something's happening, Tom, where all those values, all the community, all the, you know, being held accountable,

it's shifted, I've been, I've, I've been, I've been, I, doing, being held accountable, it's shifted. I've been, I've, I may have an opinion on this. What do you think? I, I think we've, you know, you can go back and look at just the last, look, it was 25 year spread, right? And just look at the the the last 16 years of presidents and and see what's happened. We've been, I think in many ways, it's each person's responsibility for where they are

and what they say and what they do. But I think we've been led into discord. And we've been led, you know, by our leadership and the way political campaigns come out. And we've been led by our leadership and the way political campaigns come out. And we've been led into this great divide. Well, let's go to 98. So who was president 98? Was a Clinton? Okay.

So Clinton goes to Bush, goes to, go back to the polls again, if you can show it. Go back to the polls again. Go back to the polls. Okay, can show it go back to the polls again. Go back to the polls. Okay, so check this out. Check this out. Seven from 1998 to 2019 is how long? 19 years.

Yeah, from 2019 to 2023 is the big drop off. Okay, look at the drop off here. And which sector? If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism from 70 toism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism.

If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism.

If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism. If patriotism on how low it is in America today. Religion from 62 to 48, it's a big drop off,

62 to 48 to 39. Go to the next one, having children, 59, it's a massive drop off of 16 points. So the credit for that goes to Bush and Obama, 59 to 43, now 30 community involvement 47 to 62 to 27 may I is the 62 to 2019 2019 so you lock us all up inside you federally tell us we have to get inside and we can't work and can't help with each other and this happens yep I'm so surprised yeah weird so but but the moral of the story here is these are these are values and principles of what others think about America, okay? These are basic values and principles of what others think about America. For me the biggest factor time if you ask me is the following. I was at church this week and it's a

big church in Fort Lauderdale so I was there and people pulled up and they come and they talk and we have great conversations to get. You know what the biggest thing was? How many people would say, Patrick, you're a Christian? I thought you were a Jew. Really? I said, so really? So yeah, no, this entire time I've been following your content. I thought you were a Jew. I don't know. Well, South Florida, bet David. Yeah. I'm like, I was the last name is David. Yeah. So I thought you were just, no, I'm a Christian. So mom, so happy you come into come into a church like this, et cetera, et cetera. It's, I say, yeah, that's great.

I said, you know, one of the biggest things right now that I can't, you know, people sit there all over this person one because of that and that person, because I don't know why other people want, I can tell you what I want. At 44 years old today, I had something interesting happen to me this weekend. Not good, tough, but something happened this weekend to me. And it's not a big deal.

It's not something I want anybody to worry about, health or anything like that, but it's something that it was annoying, what happened this weekend. And I'm sitting there talking to Jen, and we're talking, we're going back and we're having a great conversation together. And I said, you know what this makes me realize? I can't understand people who are willing to risk life living without God. I can't understand that life.

Because to live a life without God, you think you know it all. I don't think I know it all. To live like with life without God, you think you know it all. I don't think I know it all. To live like with life without God, you think you can do it all on your own. I can do it all on my own. To live a life without God is saying, you have all the answers.

I don't have all the answers. I need help in raising of my kids with good people around me as well because I only have certain amount of hours with them every day. They go to school. To live a life today without God, man upstairs, prayer, a community you're a part of. If there's ever been a time, in our lifetime,

at least in the last, however many years, to risk living life without God, this is by far the worst season to do that. Take any risk you wanna take. Do not take the risk today of life without God. This is by far the worst season to do that. Take any risk you wanna take. Do not take the risk today of living without God. And by the way, this isn't the debate. We can have the debate conversation, no problem. We can have the debate conversation of Christianity

or seven day or LDS or Jew or you know Muslim or you know Buddha we can have that debate no problem okay But I'm telling you right now the debate you don't want to have is live-in-life without believe in there is a God and You end up being wrong and there isn't which there is a risk But the risk of living life saying there's not a God. And then all of a sudden, there is. And you know, you could have had a source to help you through some of the times that you are by yourself. If kids know today, listen, mommy's not going to be there.

That is not going to be there. But if you're ever alone, God's there with you. What do you think that does to a kid? Think about a kid today that's like, nobody's there with me. My dad's not here. My mom's not here, but you know what God? I think you're there because I was told you're there. Whether it's true or not, what is that kid gonna go through during that season? We all go through certain seasons. We can all look nice and polished today and look,

man, think about the season that you were not polished. How did you make it through that? What if you did something stupid during that time? We don't know about your story. Many of us could have done something stupid to not be here right now. So what this validates to me, when you look at these types of numbers,

is division is the lack of love for America. When I talk about how great of a country America, the concepts that it was founded on, I can't tell you how many people say, you know, I can't believe you're saying that on all this other stuff. Man, I'm a patriot and I'm from Iran and I love what America was founded on. What America was founded on. I love what America was founded on. It changed my life and average regular guy like me. There's nothing special about me. Trust me. Don't

let me fool you. There's nothing special about this guy. Regular guy like me. There's nothing special about me. Trust me. Don't let me fool you. There's nothing special about this guy. Regular guy I was High school junior high school. You will never find a report card that you can say bingo Figured this guy out. He was very smart. He was the captain of the football team. Nothing never played organized sports Never had any kind of 2.8 3.0 GP. I don't even know what the, what is the class you take that's above the other stuff that I've never taken in honors. I've never taken any of that stuff. You know, you talk magnets stuff like that.

We were more repellents more than magnets. We were not the kids that you would sit there and say, these guys are going to do anything. This guy went to the army thinking my plan was 20 years, and I was going to retire six years ago. Nobody would have known me. I told them this the other day on the importance of God. I say you realize if God wasn't in my life, you and I would have never met. Wow. I say can you imagine if you and I never meet? How cool is it that we know each other? God did that. So your son, I told us to Dylan and he looks at it. He probably was like what? You don't even know what that looked to each other was like and the hug, man. It's like man,

I'm so glad we met. I can't imagine living life without ever meeting Dylan. My God, it's so freaking good to us. Sometimes we've got to take a moment. We got to take a moment and just be grateful and take us back to not solving for perfection, not solving for any of that stuff, solving for why this place has 40 plus million people of immigrants that chose to come here. And our family, our parents, our grandparents didn't say let's go to Russia, didn't say let's go to Iran, didn't say let's go to China, didn't say let's go to Cuba, didn't say let's go to Venezuela, but they say let's go to America.

There's a reason for that. And we have to fight for it. We have to sell it. We have to explain it. And we have to encourage others to fight for it. We have to sell it. We have to explain it. And we have to encourage others to buy into it. My Tiko yesterday finished Atlas Shruggy, finished on Saturday and Saturday. Six days. It's a 1069 page book.

Somebody commented on the bottom. And she said, I can't believe you had that's torture for a kid to make them read. I said, first of all, the kid wasn't required to read it. He did it by himself. But I said, I said, if it's up to me, I'm going to read you. He did it by himself. But I said, I said, I if it's up to me, I'm gonna read you exactly what I told this lady. I said, if I have to choose between me,

brainwashing my kid into thinking for himself or allowing society to brainwash him to think he's a victim, I'm gonna do my part. I'm gonna do my part. So anyways, what a podcast, man. That article my part. I'm gonna do my part. So, anyways, what a podcast, man. That article really got to me when I saw this article here. I think everybody needs to go read that article and talk amongst your family and your friends and your peers. Anyways, good podcast today. Yes, Tom.

And by the way, we're all about education. We're all about the open debate and we're all about edifying entrepreneurs, right? And we've got an event that's coming, that's part of our achievement, that's important. What is this? That's a lot. Oh, we got a SLS coming up. Sales leadership seminar, we do this once a year. It is going to be April, I think, 24th.

At the bulk of resort, it's limited to only 250 people. I want it, this is the one that it's you have to have minimum of a million dollars of top line revenue and netting a quarter million to qualify for it. If that's you, you can you can put a link below to the event to to have somebody get a hold of them. If you can do that SLS, put that link in the description, but you have to have a top line revenue of a million dollars netting a quarter million leading five sales people. If that's you, this will be a very good conference for you.
