All right? So don't be a hoe.

Share the show. All right. Now, we do have an amazing guest here today. You guys, if you haven't been living in a cave, you have heard of Five Finger Death Punch. And we have Zoltan Bathory from Five Finger Death Punch, who was just here in St. Louis doing a show. And he's graciously come and blessed us with his presence on the show today. What's up, brother? How are you guys?

Good. We just had an hour conversation about jiu-jitsu before. We probably should have done that on the show. And I kind of think I'm going to start doing it now, man. I think he sold me. We can repeat it to you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's roll.

Yeah. So, brother. What did you call it? Is that what you call him with you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's roll. Yeah. So, brother. What did you call it? Is that what you call him with that? Yeah, Roland. Yeah. All right. What do you want to roll?

I told him when I went to go grab him out of the office, I'm like, yeah, you ready to roll? I'm like, well, not that type of roll, though. Yeah, kick your ass, bro. That's what I'm saying. I'm like, hold on. Let's go record. So, you know, Zoltan, everybody knows Five Finger Death Punch.

You guys have been one of the most famous rock bands, metal bands in the history of the game. But not everybody knows what a patriotic, anti-communist activist that you are. And I think that's cool, man. Because during this whole time for the last three or four years where we've been getting just hammered with this stuff, you know, you've been vocal and you've been standing out at a time where it's been very hard to be vocal and stand out, especially in the music industry. And first and foremost, before we even get the show going, I just wanted to say, bro, thank you for doing that. Yeah, I mean, I grew up in that. Yeah. So for me, it's not a it's not a thesis.

It's not a class in that. Yeah. So for me, it's not a thesis. It's not a class in college. You know, I actually have been educated by communist professors within the communist system. Basically, my adult life, I lived there until I was 21 years old. So when it's not just an idea, it's not just something that remotely you learn about, that you actually live it, then, you it. Then it's a whole different story. Let's talk about that. I mean, what was that like? So basically the whole idea there was that communism was about class wars, right?

So the whole idea is that they were trying to even the playing field. They wanted the worker class, that they called the worker class. The worker class would be in charge with pretty much everything. They were trying to accomplish this through socialism to communism to this utopia that they were trying to create. The idea is inherently faulty. It was just a thesis. It started earlier than Marx and Engels. That wasn't the beginning of this. It started back in the days in feudalistic systems where you were either born as a noble and you had land and power,

or you were not and you could not have a vertical movement within the system. So understandably the people would look at this that this is our fate, this is our future, this is our present, this is it. And that was a time when it started to develop and later on Marx and Engels had the most communist manifesto and the most famous work that we know today came from them. They based an entire society on these ideas that are very questionable and I think didn't take in account evolution and human nature. We grew up in that. This was very, that we didn't have our first amendment.

We couldn't just say whatever we wanted to say. What happened if you did? Well, there's this really funny story I always tell people. When I was a little kid, there was a strike in America. I think it was maybe the transportation industry, but there was a massive strike. And so America's industry came to a screeching halt. And, you know, we had one TV channel and started at noon and went until midnight. You know, that was it.

And it was mainly communist propaganda, you know. And so they were, you know, they were really happy about this situation. And they were telling us us, look, the communist idea will win, the capitalist, the bourgeois will collapse and look at the workers, how they're rising up. Even I was like seven, eight years old and I'm watching this and I kind of understand and reading between the lines. And I looked at my dad and I'm like, listen, in America, you can go out on the lines and i looked at my dad and i'm like listen uh in america you can go

out on the street and and and say that you're not happy and you oppose the you know the the system and nobody shoots you is that how because then i need to get the hell out of here yeah right so so you know like it's it's either you see you know, the object or its shadows, right? And I, even a young age, I was always reading between the lines. So I was very much against that whole idea, this equalization that they were trying to do. How they, everything was owned by the state. You couldn't, there was no private industry. So you couldn't really just, you know, here you can drop out of college and build your own future, right? You build your own companies.

When everything is owned by the state, then they completely control that. Everything is bureaucratic. So everything is going to depend on how well you did in school and what kind of paperwork you have. And that's it. And that's your future. And that's that. Right?

And there are these very faulty ideas that if I give you the same tools, I give a couple of guys a hammer. Somebody's going to make a sculpture and somebody's going to just bang around. If you give the same tools to somebody, and it can be education, if I give you the same education, the results is not going to be the same. Because if that was true, then Jeff Bezos' classmates should be all billionaires. They got the same education. They're not.

They're using the tools differently, right? And so this idea that we're going to make equal opportunities and this is going to have an equal result, it's a faulty, untrue idea. And that means the difference between the classes will still happen. So if everybody got the same education, but somebody is using those tools better, they will pull away from the crowd. And that will create this gap, this gap of basically wealth gap, right? Which they were against, right? So the only thing you could do is if you eliminate the possibility for anyone to pull away.

So that means they can't elevate the dumbasses basically. What they have to do is they have to chop down those who could succeed. And that's very unnatural. That's against evolution. That's against everything. You can't pull away. Your efforts are not rewarded. And you basically, you know,

they basically just limit your possibilities. And what's gonna happen is that, you know, that's human nature. You wanna succeed. That's why evolution exists, right? So once you take that away from people, nobody was doing anything. Because why? Total demoralization.

Absolutely. And then just the basic ideas, like the wealth is to a degree, you know, obviously I could argue it for actually for both sides, but if I want to stay with reality, the wealth was sort of distributed already,

right? Like Some people already have stuff, houses, this and that, and some people are just starting their life right now. But that's the reality. We're going to compete and we, again, put the point of evolution and we're going to get where we get in life. Depends on our efforts. But if we wanted to equalize that, if somebody has a big house and somebody has a small house, how are you going to equalize that unless you take everything from the people? The state will own everything and redistribute. But if one house is big and the other one is small, how are you going to redistribute that? So you have to destroy it and rebuild.

And you have to rebuild equal houses. Okay, let's go with that idea physical distraction everybody gonna get the same size house all right i want mine on the beach now what so geographically you can't you know you can't equalize us because or i want to live on the top of the hill same size house but i just want mine on the top of the hill. Well, who gets that house? Right? So you can't, this doesn't work. Right? And so basically the result of this, you know, this whole system was that, I mean, every single one of those countries collapsed, like the last remaining ones like China and, you know, and North Korea, but both economically and socially, all those

countries, you know, collapsed. Yeah. socially, all those countries collapsed. Yeah. It never made sense to me. It only makes sense to people when you try to sell it to people who have already bought into the idea that they're not going to compete. They can't compete. They won't compete. For whatever reason, they're unable to compete. Those people will hear this idea and they say, oh, well, this is great. Let's take from those guys and we'll redistribute. Right. But the other thing, like if you look at it from the other side of the coin, you know, when you totally demoralize people with no upside and you rely on them to produce whatever

it is that we need to live, eventually they're not going to produce it because they have no incentive to produce it. A hundred percent. At all. And that's something that you know we see happening little by little by little at least i see it here happening well it's not by accident though yeah no i agree it was this was an open conversation i mean like look if if you say that hey take down the man who would say that somebody would say that who never gonna have the

ability or doesn't have the ability or does that the trust in him or herself that i'm gonna be the man one day right like that's the idea if you want to be in quote the man we all know what what i mean by that if you want to be a successful person somebody who would be against that is a person who don't believe that they can right Right. Right. And, you know, so, and also generally this is sold for the youth. Right. Because, you know, as long as you're in school, you know, like high school or college, right? At that point, you know, you never, you don't have property. Yeah, you don't have anything yet.

You don't have anything yet. So at that time, it's a good idea. Like, let's take somebody else's stuff and give it to me. Right. You don't have anything yet. So at that time, it's a good idea. Let's take somebody else's stuff and give it to me. Once you are out there and working and achieving something, and then somebody comes and trying to take it from you, that's going to be a fight. So it's much easier to basically indoctrinate the youth because they've been told like, hey, you're going to finish college

and you're going to owe all this money. And the man rigged the system and you need to fight against it. And this is where we get these teachings like critical race theory or these teachings that teach these kids that they can't be successful because they were born a certain race. The complete opposite of reality. Correct. Right.

Complete opposite. You're brainwashing them to be receptive to the ideas that Zoltan is talking about here. This hurts your personal development, 100%. It hurts your personal evolution. But this was an open conversation. So this is kind of, you know, I saw some videos already. Some ex-KGB guy was talking about it,

but that was never a secret. This was an open conversation in our society that the only way that communism can be the dominant system if the whole world is communist. Because as long as you have something to compare it to, you're not going to accept it. Well, first and foremost, what is the first rule of slavery? The first rule of slavery that you have to, what enables slavery is that I have to stop your ability to get away from me. That's number one. Because as long as you can get away from me, I can't enslave you. So what they did is they closed the borders. You can escape those communist paradise, right?

Not the way we want some closed borders. The other way. Yes. So you can leave, right? That's the requisite of you know the first requisite of slavery so now you're gonna stay here and do this otherwise everybody everybody would have escaped if it's so great then we would have stayed but you know nobody wanted to stay obviously and and so so basically the whole idea was there that you enslave nations, enslave countries, and force them to do this, right? And as long as I can see that there's an alternative, then I don't want to stay here.

And so they didn't want an alternative. They want the whole world to be communist because, you know, I could see that we're driving around cars that are basically made of glue and paper and, you know, and sawdust, like literally, some 27-horsepower two-stroke engine, ridiculous things that if you hit something, you die. That's what we're driving. And the neighboring countries have Mercedes and BMW

and a much better living. And they see movies and all the stuff that we were, we were the outside, the periphery. We were the poor kid looking into the restaurant while, you know, people are eating. So we were aware of Western culture. We were just not part of it. Time stopped for us. Right.

And so if there's an alternative, you want to escape. And so they knew that. So they needed to make the whole world communist. So there is no alternative because otherwise you're just not going to accept it. Man, that makes a lot of sense. Right. And so, so because of this, it was an open conversation. no alternative because otherwise you're just not going to accept it. Man, that makes a lot of sense. And so because of this, it was an open conversation about how to make the whole world communist. So they poisoned the well.

What we're seeing right now today in America, which is so crazy to me because I escaped this, and here I am dealing with this shit again. But it was an open conversation that, okay, the way to get the whole world to be communist is that we have to infiltrate the educational system of the West. Because you can't sell this to adults. You have to sell this to the youth. So either turn professors and teachers, buy them or turn them into communists. And then in a couple of generations, this will automatically destroy itself because if that's what you were taught when you were told in school that, hey, the world is against you, and you can't succeed on your own, you'll never be the man.

The man already took everything from you, and you're going to finish your school with all this debt, and you don't have a chance and you need to take it back and you know i mean then then that's your reality and so that's what's happening right now and the craziest thing that in the meantime communism collapsed in this country so they poisoned the well right and so it plays itself out so this is happening this is this was implemented you know 40 years ago right and it's playing itself out while So this is happening. This was implemented, you know, 40 years ago, right? And it's playing itself out while the very system that implemented it is not even existing. So it's really strange that those former communist countries are the ones that are kicking and

screaming and say, guys, stop, stop, stop on the brakes. We did this. Don't do it, you know? And nobody's listening to it. Nobody's listening, you know? The Cubans, the Russians, the Hungarians, the Romanians, all of us who live this and understand how big of a slippery slope this is. How easily that your rights are taken away and they're not coming back once they're taken away. How the First Amendment going away is the end of society. You don't have anything to compare it to. I lived it. I know how it feels when there is no constitution.

There's nothing to protect me. The government is basically army, police. It's a police state, army and police, and the government is the same entity. There's nobody to complain to. That's it. You can't hire lawyers and sue the government. Are you kidding me?

You just disappear. It was a very real thing. My parents were scared shitless telling me all the time because I was a little rebel. We're going to grow up and we're going to burn this to the ground. And they were like, shut up, kid. You're going to get us arrested. This was a real thing. Yeah.

Like this was not a joke. And it was very dangerous to people that just talk about openly their disagreement. I kind of caught the end of this. But, you know, I mean, my parents, my grandparents, I mean, it was embedded in them. And to me, I was born into that era when it was changing and I was there when it collapsed. So watching that, how my parents and my grandparents were so beaten down that they couldn't even understand when i said like oh i'm i'm gonna go to america and i'm gonna be a rock musician they looked at me like i was an alien like you're crazy kid you

there's a minefield between us and the west and there's no way you can get out of here and there's not a chance you know that you can do that there's no hope yeah so i mean and they couldn't see that they couldn't understand that because once your spirit is broken you know it's over it's like you know that experiment you put the fleas in a glass right and then you put a piece of paper in and then you're jumping and jumping and they keep hitting that the cover right and after a while you take off the paper and they will never jump out they got used to it, that this is the height they can jump. So that's kind of how it looks like. They broke your spirit

and you don't even think outside of the box. Once you were born into the system, you just accept it like, well, this is it. This is how it works and this is it. How did you get out? So I was there when it was collapsing. So I lived the communist era. And then I lived the post-communist chaos where it was sort of a hybrid and turning into a semi-capitalist system. And basically what happened, all the people who were leaders in the communist system just snatched up all the factories. So now they own those factories and banks and whatever. know so on the very beginning that that's what is happening we were getting passports finally and and I was in the first wave of getting a passport and you know and it tells you the truth when I came to America man I mean but the statue of Liberty hit me hard when I saw that like man Because we were actually well educated.

Education was, even though it was somewhat a miseducation, but it was available. So American history and what this country was based on, I had to learn that. And so the Statue of Liberty, I knew what it was and why it's there and it hit me hard. Like, man, I can't believe that I'm one of the people that's seeing this and hitting me emotionally. Like, man, I'm here now. Nobody can tell me anymore what to say, what to think, what to do.

And I have finally an open runway that I can accomplish. That's got to be a weird feeling. Oh, yeah, it was. Yeah. And then once I was here, I'm like, man, I'm off to the running. way that i can accomplish that's got to be a weird feeling oh yeah it was yeah and then you know and then once i was here i'm like man i'm off to the running it's you know sleeves rolled up and let's go you know and so so that's why you know i always gonna look at that flag and the symbolism of america that i understand what it means and i came here for that right you know that american flag

had a a couple of meaning. Again, it's coming from somebody who grew up on the other side. You guys were the enemy in court. Well, nobody believed that. Only the politicians believed that, even if they did. Or maybe they had to paint a boogeyman so that the crowd

would be controlled. It's basic manipulation behavior right like when you know someone when you know someone's going to expose you for what it is that you're doing there you automatically start to paint them as the enemy right and that i mean that's i know that's a form of crowd control you know when everybody's everybody's like, oh, the Americans are coming, right? Then, you know, then you're going to accept the rule of the government because you have this illusion that they're protecting you. That's what they're doing over there in North Korea now. Right.

And so, but I don't know anyone who believed that. You know what I mean? Like, as we were, you know, I grew up there. So we didn't believe that. That was, we were aware of American culture. We were aware of the system. We were aware of the constitution and what it was. None of us really believed what they were telling us. Living without those rights and coming here, yes, of course, I'm going to look at it like, is this system perfect? No, but at least it's an attempt. It's an attempt. Everything else was either a totalitarian

government or communism, socialism, or the remnants of a feudalistic system or monarchy. This was the first attempt like, well, let's sit down and let's think about it. How are we going to create a society that's, you know, somewhat fair? Right? And so this was the closest and the best system to that, what we can call, you know, free. Right? And so the symbolism, like both us power, if something had an american flag on it like a building a vehicle anything a t-shirt everybody know don't fuck with it man because because americans will defend that if you fuck with that flag or anything that is on and it represents they will keep coming

until they're winning then this is not gonna to stop. They will come and come and come until they win. Don't fuck with it. See what I mean? So there was a reverence for that. The same way, to some degree, to make it balanced. The Russians always had this Mother Russia kind of thing, right? That they were willing to die for the country. We like a question. It's, you know, so there was this reverence of that's mother Russia, we're going to die for it. But America had this thing that, well,

what it represents, don't fuck with them, you know, because they will not lose. America can't lose a war. And they won't. That was always the vision of what it is and what it represents. Everybody wanted to come here. Why?

Because we all understood that this is the freest society from the societies that exist. We want a piece of that, yeah. It makes complete sense. Like, think about the flag. The flag is supposed to represent the people. So it's not the American government that's going to come get you. It's the fucking people. And it makes perfect sense when you look at where we are as a society today and what they are trying to attack and dismantle.

Because it's an idea. And demoralize. It's the people. Separate us. Divide us. Get us pissed at each other. Because to get. I mean, bro.

I think that's an important concept to continue to reiterate when it comes to that flag. You know, I saw some people on the internet talking about how we shouldn't even support the flag because that stands for the government that's corrupt no no motherfucker that's our flag that is our people's flag it's always us that is us that is not them and just look at it this way the danger of this like you know imagine if we can just you know and we can in fact we can roll out or or your history in a in a linear manner right like if if we accept our civilization when we can call it a civilization let's say you know mesopotamia five six thousand years but but let's let's make it ten as a ten thousand

years of human history that's what we can tell us. We can call it civilization, right? At least what we know right now. Yeah, that's what they tell us. But again, don't believe that the history books are not necessarily true. Everybody accept like, oh, history is fact because it's in the past. No, who wrote the book?

People who won. Who wrote the book? That's right. I can tell you right now, I can read stories and events that happened in the communist system, right? In Wikipedia, that's 100 not true i was there i know right i mean so so the history books are you know questionable but

let's say 10 000 arguments say 10 000 years let's say 10 000 years okay in this 10 000 years right you're going to isolate this you know almost 300 years low you know segment that will be a tiny percent of this, where there was a somewhat democratic free society. Everything else was pretty much monarchy, kingdom, feudalistic systems. So these were kings and queens all the way, or dictators. And you look at this entire line of history and there is boom. There is a low spike of there's a free society of the democracy. There's a moment of freedom, which is we're living right now. If this disappears, right, and we go back to what it was for the majority of our history, it will be just a bump in because you

can you can find a bump like okay there was a moment in greece there was kind of a democratic society for like 40 years 50 years right so there are moments in history when there were free societies for you know but in the big picture when you look at the whole line right it would be just just a little tiny tiny tiny line. Right here, there was a little bit of freedom. So this is very real. This is really very real that this can collapse and we can go back into a dictatorship or this society and this system can be lost. This can be, you know, like look at history we we are we are amazing not learning from history amazing at look at what happened before and completely ignore it right like on

every aspect of like man it's just we just we just keep making this mistake and and so you know so this is something definitely to to fight for because this can disappear. Yeah, man. Just look at the 10,000 years. This is only 300 years, not even 300 years. A little segment that somewhat of a free society. You can see it too. You can see why it's that way. Like when you watch the way that most people react to what's happening in the world right now

and how they're kind of waiting around for someone to come fix it, you can see why for 10 000 years people have been ruled over by people who are willing to step up and rule right you know and human nature like it's in our fucking d it is dude it's why there's some leaders and a whole bunch of followers and the problem is is that you know the good people people who have good, they they don't want they don't necessarily want to lead like that. You know what I mean? Like when we talk about Sulla, right, the first dictator of Rome. who joined the Rome army and went around on crusades for years and years and years, conquering land, comes back and finds out that their government has been overthrown by some of the Senate and are total tyrants, right? Then he uses his army, kills those people,

and sets everybody free and sets everything right. And the people say, Hey, you're a lifetime dictator of Rome. And he ruled for one year and then said, no, I'm, I'm setting this right so that this can, you guys can continue to be free and I'm going to go live my free life. And those types of leaders are so rare because once you get a taste of control or power or wealth, it can corrupt people almost instantly when they've never had it before. And so, dude, like we have to be very aware as a group, as a community, as a people. And this is not just in America, because like you said, this is they're attempting to do this globally. And I think what we're about to see is a war about this. And guys, unfortunately, I think we're on the to see is a war about this and and guys unfortunately i think we're on the wrong side of that war um that's my opinion but uh it's very dangerous man

because we what we have here is special what we have here is an anomaly and if we don't have capable people to step up and i don't mean just a few people i mean the capable men in the household standing up and setting a standard in society that we are not going to fuck with us we will lose this and this will this will fail and disappear yeah and your kids will be slaves and they will be growing up exactly as you were talking where there's no hope there's and their hope is to get a few generations deep so that they don't have to explain what freedom was anymore. At that point, there'll be no other alternatives to see either. Dude, they want to erase it from the history, dude.

Here's your big problem. I had a place to escape to. Right. Where are you going? Yeah. Where are we going to go? Where are you going to go? So if this is lost, it's all is lost, right?

And then what you were just saying, the interesting thing about that, what is a king? If you want to be king, you're not cut out to be a king because you want to be a king. A king is the servant of the people. And so when it comes to comparing systems, political, economical systems, you have kingdoms and let's say there are totalitarian dictatorships like which communism was or democracies. And a corrupt democracy or a totalitarian communist system is actually worse than a kingdom with a just king. That makes perfect sense to me. So that's pretty sad if you think about it. Yeah.

I mean, if you have a just king who treats people fair and lets people be, like if we had a dictator here in the United States, quote unquote, that let everybody be free and live their lives and build what they're going to build and create situations where it's favorable for them is that not better than 600 people that are stealing all our tax dollars and making life miserable intentionally for their own greed and and it shouldn't be that's what i mean like it shouldn't be like if if you have to pick between these systems and you pick a kingdom that which is you know there's you have a an absolute power over the people which you know right, you know, you have an absolute power over the people,

which, you know, right there, you know, that's what the entire history rebelled against, right? But when you started lean toward that because other systems are so corrupt, that's pretty sad, right? That's pretty sad. Yeah, man. That's crazy. So, dude, just changing gears gears when did you start music so you

know music is is is something that i was always interested in obviously this is a calling kind of you know i um my first guitar right that when i wanted to be a guitar player so my first guitar was actually again communist system i you know i couldn't afford one my parents couldn't afford one so i i made my first guitar out of my parents coffee table true story like i had a second hand guitar that was a piece of crap broken you know the neck was good and then some of the you know the machine heads were good and um and i basically made a guitar out of my parents' coffee table, put it together, and it was an unplayable piece of crap, but it was a guitar, and I copied. It was a BC Rich, you know, BC Rich warlock-shaped guitar.

That's what I, you know, that's what I made. That was my first guitar when I was 12. It was badly playable. I mean, imagine a 12-year-old kid making a guitar. So it was a beauty. But that was my first guitar. I always wanted to be a guitar player. And obviously, I did a lot of other things,

like a steel interest. I have many, many interests. And we talked about it. I'm doing a million things. But I was going gonna be a scientist right so it's it's an interesting thing because the in the communist systems um what what they had this idea that you know like the utopia requires that everybody does what they would like to do in life or what they're good at right and again the failure of that is like nobody's going to want to be a sanitary, what is it?

Janitor. A janitor or whatever, right? So when you look at it like, well, in Utopia, we all will do what we're good at and what we would like to do. This is what was sold to us, right? But yeah, but who wants to be the janitor, right? So whose dream is that, right? So but anyway, but they they still this was a system so they came to the schools and then they would put you through all kind of tests and if you were

physically strong they would throw you in a school that was you know for athletes and then you know and so they separate us and and i was picked for a school that was advanced math basically so i went to a school and i had two three math classes every day so it was just you know jamming in that and so i was gonna be a scientist i was it was super interesting i'd worked in an observatorium by the time when i was 14 and you know and uh so that was my jam it was you know i went to be an astrophysician particle scientist that was my you know and but music was to me music was always interesting because I thought well I'm manipulating the source code right everything is a vibration and everything is is everything you see everything you know it's all vibration this is this is like the spectrum of light right it's all vibration. This is like the spectrum of light.

It's about, we have a spectrum that we can see, but it's a waveform. And if you elevate this waveform, then that's radio waves and everything is waveform. Everything that matters is basically waveform.

And I thought, well, a musician is manipulating the source code the waveforms we are creating harmonies and melodies you know and so so that was always even as a scientifically attuned kid i was always looking at music that way so i was about 12 when i made the guitar and then this this was always a thing like this is i can't even explain why i had this this this um this attraction to the music so it wasn't never like oh i'll be a rock star you know what i mean it was it was that it was the music how you can you can create this piece of again it's vibration harmonies and i can create these harmonies and these, we call

them songs and music, but these patterns, right? That I can change somebody's mood. I can change how you feel physiologically. So I can manipulate how you feel and what you think. Because if I tell you a story right i can tell you a story and it change your mind about certain things and you feel a certain way that is not as serious as i play you a piece of music so actually change how you feel so you're not intellectually coming to a conclusion so if you intellectually came to a conclusion because i told you a story that's one thing but it's much deeper if i played a song and you

actually feel a different way that's so much more so much deeper right and and i felt like that's that's that's the real magic you know what musicians do um imagine that you know i can play a song that gonna make you feel like i'm gonna go to the gym and and or i can play a song that's going to make you feel like I'm going to go to the gym and rip. Or I can play you a song that you're going to feel melancholic about. And as a songwriter, just imagine this. I play a guitar riff, just to make it into an actual example. I play a guitar riff and I put a drum beat to this guitar riff. And what I'm going to do in the drum beat i'm gonna make it it's called

shuffled so that snare comes a little bit late not audible really but it's just a little bit late it just feels late so it's not obvious but it feels late and so that's going to create kind of this groovy kind of just chilling you know and i'm going to give you this feeling of relaxation like oh we're just chilling that's just physiologically if you feel like oh yeah me jamming you know island music or what you know yeah now same guitar riff and i'm gonna quantize the drum so this comes exactly on the time it's supposed to be right you're gonna feel empowered oh i'm going to the gym that's march that's you know like it's i'm feeling diesel right that's a feeling i give you now'm going to speed up the drum a little bit

so the snare comes a little bit early, right? I'm giving you a feeling of urgency and anxiety. And this is just a feeling. I didn't talk about, you know, minor chords that are generally sad, major chords that are happy, right? And the color and the tone of the music, right? These are just the basic physiological feelings I'm giving tone of the music. These are just the basic physiological feelings I'm giving you with the music.

And I still didn't put lyrics on top of it that will also affect you. That's wild. So even as a young kid, I understood that. Like, man, this is incredible. It's an incredible tool of communication where I can give you much more than just tell you a story I can make you feel my story like a classical songwriters right when you know

when they Vivaldi four seasons right famous piece okay if I play it to you a hundred percent that you're gonna be able to tell me which one is spring which one is summer you will know how how do you know how did you feel that that's to me magic right and so I always looked at that way and so these classical songwriters would write this music without vocalists right giving you a full story right and so like all these guys like the Tchaikovsky's that you know if you look at you know Wagner right it's almost like a war music right so what's there how do you communicate this through music just music and that to me was magic so i i wanted to be a musician i wanted to be a person who can you know paint the world for you and put you in a different mood and communicate stories because

that's what this is so that's what i want you to just like can we just go in a room you just play me music man i just want to hey you know what i'm saying think about the world like what is what is our world really about because because we have a very sophisticated and complex society. But really what this world is about, we're living our lives around a fireplace. That was replaced by a television set. But really what it is, we're living around a fireplace and the elders telling you stories. What are movies? Those are the stories, but in a modern way. What are movies? Those are the stories about in a modern way.

What is television? That is replace the fire in the center, you know, the camp, and telling you stories. Everything is about telling you stories and everything else we do

is just because we have to feed ourselves, we have to feed our bodies, we have to survive, we have to defend and protect our lives, right? But really everything revolves around the stories this is the human story that's what everything is about and be part of that be able to give you stories in a sophisticated way when you're not just being told the story but you feel it that's music dude that's so awesome joe's over there loving it that is so cool man well fuck

we can just stop the show yeah that's it right there guys yeah fuck yeah man i love that so yeah so that's how i started i was 12 and you know and then because i had so many interests so many things that i wanted to do tell you the truth that's my biggest problem in life. I don't have enough time, man. I need to read a thousand more books. You know, I need to learn a thousand more skills. It's like my biggest strife in life, dude, 100 years is not enough for me. You can see that in your life. You know?

You can see that. I mean, look at you, dude. Look what you guys have done with Five Finger. Look at what you've done with your education. Look at what you've done with your jujitsu. You know, look like you haven't, it's very obvious. Like right away, I noticed this when we were talking before the show, I was thinking, I'm like, this dude is ravenous for skillset and learning. Right. Like that's with a sense of urgency. Yeah. Right. Just think about it. I can relate to that. Yeah. We have this limited time.

It's like, this is a thing that pisses me off. We don't know when that clock expires either. Two things that pissing me off in the world, but because nothing pissed me off unless other than these two things, right? Everything else is superficial, but these two things, I don't have enough time. Why am I limited to this 80 years, 100 years, whatever we can live?

That's pissing me off. Another thing that's pissing me off, that doesn't matter how far I educate myself, doesn't matter, I could either go down on a scientific, intellectual way or eat a pound of mushrooms, doesn't matter. I will never understand what the fuck is going on. What is this? The universe itself, and and what's

happening like it's it's you know the human mind is not the device to deal with this like an ant will never drive on a car right it's you know what i mean like we are not we're not evolutionally not there to even scratch the surface of what's happening what is this experience most of us are not even aware of our own ignorance, man. Yes. And these, these are the two things that just drives me crazy. And so basically what I'm doing in life is like, okay, as many check marks I can, you know, so I have a, I would say kind of a bucket list of, of both, you know,

materialistically in some way, intellectually and, and, intellectually, and I guess achievement-wise, like I want to achieve certain things, right? Like we were talking about cars earlier, right? Yeah. Like, okay, we both have some cars. We call like, you know, nice cars. And even with that, like, okay, do I really need this, right? Like, do I ferrari to go to wherever i don't i can go to i can go to i can get a smart car and do whatever you know but but because when i was a kid right as a kid i looked at that and i wanted that right then when i look at those things i'm like okay i believe in this thing called that i call it the cycle of fulfillment right i dreamt

that that i want to be what i'm doing right now i dreamt it i wanted to do this i have a band to the world play music for millions of people right or in materialistic way i wanted certain things i have to check that i have to mark it because what happens if you wanted, like, let's say, go back with the car. You wanted that car when you were a kid, right? As a kid, we want everything, right? Because at that point when you're a kid, you don't have the adulthood's seriousness and somberness

didn't seep in yet, right? Like, oh, you can't have this, you can't have that. So as a kid, you dream all these things. And so in life, you're going toward it and you try to achieve these things and there come there give me a moment in life when you could actually do that right if you worked hard and you you know you know you pushed yourself you will probably get there right and there's that moment when oh i could actually get that car right or whatever it is and at that moment as an adult i have a million reasons to tell myself like do i really need it is it you know i mean is you know but i'm gonna get it because

then i checked market so i didn't lie to the little kid that i was me i didn't like the little kid's proud of you right that little kid i was i didn't lie to him i said we're gonna get that yeah so now i got it but most importantly what it did i trained myself that the ridiculous and the impossible is in fact possible because because your mind can't make the difference like if my whole life i worked for something or i wanted my jiu jitsu black belt i knew i'm gonna be a black belt it's not a question of if i will be just a question of time because I'm not gonna quit right so I know I'm gonna get it. So anything that I ever wanted I look at it in that way. If it was a ridiculous dream according to my surroundings right and then eventually I get to the point I achieved it. I trained my mind that you believed in something that seemed ridiculous and you achieved it. Right.

Eventually it becomes automatic. So now, you know, I look at anything in life and I think, oh, yeah, I can do that. Whatever it is. Like I don't have a self that because there were so many of these things that I achieved that normally people would tell me that I don't know that's not possible right so that's why it's to me it's important like if I wanted that car I'll get that car check after that I can sell it but if I didn't get it then what did my mind learn my mind learned you dreamt it you worked hard for it and then there was a reason doesn't matter what reason there was a reason that you didn't get it

right was it a right reason an intellectual reason like you don't need that to go to the grocery store or whatever driving around still you didn't get it right you find yourself an excuse why you didn't get it so i'm gonna delete the excuse i'm gonna get it just to make this cycle full. So now I fulfilled that cycle. Now I can get rid of it if I want to, right? Because I did it. Most importantly, I trained myself that when you dream something, it is in fact possible. Doesn't matter how ridiculous the dream is. It is possible. Right? And the most dangerous thing for anyone is your surrounding telling you that it's not.

Because everybody wants you to be successful, just not more successful than they are. That's a fact. There is that. And they're losing you. By you succeeding, you become a different person you're not gonna be on the same vibration anymore than they are so you're pulling away so they're losing so it's not not even necessary malicious when people tell you like oh you can't do that you can't become you can't build that right it's not even necessarily malicious it's

somewhat ignorance right their own reflection of lack of self, what would you call it? Trust in themselves, right? And the fact that they're going to be losing you because once you elevate, you know, they have to hold their own or you're in a different circle now. A whole different thing, yeah, man. So that's why I do all those things. I think that's a powerful point you're making, bro, that not many people talk about, which is completing the cycle. Because if you do make these promises to yourself and then you get to a point and then you don't follow through

on the execution of the goal that you actually set out to get, you are definitely reprogramming yourself to think a couple different things. One, that your goals don't get fulfilled and if your goals don't get fulfilled how can you set new goals and be enthusiastic about them you see what i'm saying precisely yeah like dude that's a that's a great fucking point i mean look like it's very rare that i hear things for in a new way that i'm like damn that is fucking good but that is awesome dude if you think about it like you look at you know like your mind and what that is right you have the most powerful computer known to man at this point it might change but at this point the most powerful

computer that is known to man is your mind and and you let it run and it it's not it's unchecked right so there's there's this eastern thought i was massively into you know and still i've named the book i read it eastern philosophy right or mesoamerican philosophy but that's kind of my jam and so there's this thought of mindfulness right what mindfulness mean and and and how you live your life mindful. And what it really means is that, you know, when you say like, oh, you know what just popped in my mind? Okay, nothing just pops in your mind. Your mind is a bullet train.

There's a thing called the train of thought. The train of thought doesn't stop, right? You were just not aware of what you were thinking. So you have this computer running in your head that you're actually not aware of. Because the structure of we have the body, a mind, and the watcher. That is really you. The creature that drives the meat puppet. We can call it a soul or whatever we want to call it, right? And the watcher has a power, that's a programmer that programs the mind and sets the goals and tells you what really to do, which is the true self. The mind is separate, right? Because the mind can run around and do, you know, whatever. This is how people get depressed.

What happened? you know whatever this is how people get depressed what what happened you just let your mind go somewhere and then maybe it went through a threshold is almost too late to get it back right when you say like oh something just popped in my mind well where was your mind before you know you were not aware of or how many times you drive home and you don't remember the way you drove home what happened like you were totally not aware of that you the way you drove home what happened like you were totally not aware of that the way you drove home so your mind was wondering about right so this practice of mindfulness is is really that it's a spiritual practice where you are watching your mind and what it does right and try to gain full control over it right that's i think that is that that is a goal in in life, to gain that kind of power, to not let this powerful computer

just do whatever. And what we were talking about right now is that the mind is learning and it's extremely clever. mind is learning and it's extremely clever right and so so when you let it run unchecked or you training it certain things like what we talked about right now the the cycle fulfillment when you trained it like dream work hard but then you didn't get the result or didn't get the the what the present on the end of that you know know? You didn't fulfill the dream. Then you just train the computer, a process that is detrimental to your future.

Right. You just trained it. Yeah, and you reinforce it every time you don't follow through. Yeah, 100%. That's right. 100%. Well, man, that's good shit. You want to dip into the show?

Yeah, let's get it. You want to cover some cruising? Some crazy shit going on in the world? There's always crazy shit going on in the world, man. Man, I'm trying to not watch. That was awesome stuff. Yeah, I love it. Guys, remember, if you want to see any of these pictures, articles, links, videos,

go to andyfr for seller.com. You can find them there. Uh, so with that being said, let's just get into our first headline. Um, headline number one, let's cover some of these debates. So we had a third GOP debates here. Um, there's some interesting stuff going on there. So let's, let's talk about a little bit of that. Um, so this headline reads Democrat voters side with GOP candidates' messages of strength

on border national security. Quote, tired of this. Really? Seems to be a very, some would say wake up. Really? I wasn't aware of this. Really? Yeah.

No, dude, I've been doing my stuff. Yeah, bro. These last two weeks, I've been, you know. Shit's been switching. Yeah. Really? Shit's been switching yeah really she's been switching yeah um so uh democrats surprising reactions to the explosive third gop primary debate raised eyebrows thursday as voter dials indicated liberals resonated with messages of strength projected by republican candidates um so for for example, Ron DeSantis, Republicans gave him an A.

Independence gave him a C plus and Democrats gave him a C minus. It's the highest grade he's ever received from Democrats at all. Usually they give us all Fs. But Tim Scott, he talked about the invasion on our southern border and how we had sleeper terrorist cells inside the country. Democrats gave gave him a C. The independents gave him a B plus and Republicans gave him an A minus. You got Chris Christie.

He talked about taking down tick tock, removing that from society. Shockingly, Democrats gave him an A. Well, it's not shocking that that makes sense. because he is a fucking democrat yeah i get it um we get republicans gave him a seat now here's the interesting thing because there was some heat coming out of these debates um that have been going around a little bit so one of the first ones i thought this was was interesting this headline reads uh the vague ramaswamy slams ukrainian president zelinsky with nazi reference now this is in some left-leaning news articles okay um so let's talk about just a little bit so vivek ramaswamy slammed ukrainian president vladimir zelinsky in blistering remarks at

wednesday's republican presidential debate, making a Nazi reference and calling Zelensky a, quote, comedian in cargo pants during an exchange on about whether he would support sending additional support to Ukraine. Ramaswamy, an aggressive critic of U.S. aid in the war between Ukraine and Russia, said he was, quote, absolutely unpersuaded by Zelensky's call for more help before he launched into a sharply worded broadside against Zelensky and his government. Quote, Ukraine is not a paragon of democracy, Ramaswamy said. Quote, it is threatened not to hold elections this year unless the U.S. forks over more

money. That is not democratic. It has celebrated a Nazi in its ranks. The comedian in cargo pants, the man called Zelensky doing it in their own ranks. Swami Swami continue that is not democratic. And the article goes on trying to get him. You know, I don't think what he said was was outlandish at all. But here was interesting.

The article finishes the last line of the article, it reads, Zelensky, who is Jewish, has said his great grandparents were killed when the Nazis set their village on fire during World War II. And I thought this was just interesting

because obviously there's a lot of interesting things going on in the world with picking sides. But this main theme of like anti-Semitism keeps popping up. And I saw this video I thought was super interesting from Matt Gaetz. I saw this. Right. You know Matt Gaetz? Yeah. So here's the video. Let's watch this real quick. I think it was Dr. Nadell. Is it possible to criticize George Soros

without being anti-Semitic? I don't know all the tropes that people use to associate with George Soros, but when they talk about... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, not when they talk about something else. Is criticism against George Soros ever not anti-Semitic? That's the question. Ms. Burdett is offered to answer that. No, no, but you mentioned Mr. Soros. I want you to answer this. There's no phone a friend here in the Judiciary Committee. What has happened in the United States is that we use different code words.

Right, no, that's not the question. No, wait, I'm answering your question. We use different code words to disguise anti-Semitism. And so Soros has become the code word that replaced Rothschild. But is it possible to criticize him without being anti-Semitic? Yes or no? I don't know the context. I'm not going to talk without knowing the context.

That is just an astonishing thing. And similarly, you said any critique of globalism is anti-Semitic. Now, that really is an Austin Powers thing. And similarly, you said any critique of globalism is anti-Semitic. Now that really is an Austin Powers. No, what I said was that the word globalist, I didn't say any critique of globalism. What I said was the word globalist had become the new code word for the internationalist code word from the previous period. But you ascribe that motive. See, when I criticize globalism, I'm often criticizing the UN, which then in turn goes around and criticizes Israel. So if critiquing a globalist entity that criticizes Israel is anti-semitic... So why use the word globalist instead of the UN?

Well, because the UN's goals are to have a global order over things that deprive countries of their sovereignty. One of those countries is Israel. That is the great hypocrisy of what I think is frankly a reverse trope that any criticism of Soros or any criticism of globalism is somehow anti-Semitic. Sometimes they're just criticisms of Soros and of globalism. But I see my time's expired and I yield back. Yeah, I just don't – and people can't really explain it. It doesn't mean-

What do you mean you can't explain it? It's very easy to explain. These people try to control the language and they use the language to use their defense system so you can't criticize them for what the fuck they're doing. It's very easy what they're doing. This is what I've been saying for years on this show.

Yeah. This situation of, you know, if you criticize me, you're anti-black people. Or if you criticize me you're anti black people or if you criticize me you're anti-jewish or you're anti this talk about crime you hate black people that's right and this is this is the fact that she's up there saying that these are code words shows you their intent to control the language and that there is direct intent to create a certain outcome based upon the words

that are used all right and so when you say oh the soros has become a code word for jews that's that so we can't criticize anything this person fucking does right like that that's bullshit all right and and dude so i can't say statistical realities that 13% of black Americans make up 50% plus of the violent crime. How can we solve the problem if we can't speak the actual facts? It doesn't make me a racist to say, hey, we've got a violent crime problem inside the black community. Oh, we do? Well, who's committing it? Oh, we can't talk about it.

Right. That makes sense. Or you're just racist. This is how problems continue, right? And these people are very aware of how they use language to defend their positions and then commit crimes against everybody else. Jewish people that have no idea that these criminals hide behind them and hide their evil crimes and their corruption and the things they do behind anti-Semitic labels, when in reality, those crimes that they're committing are hurting the actual Jewish people. And we're seeing it in society right now.

We're seeing regular Jew people get fucking beat up or hit in the head with bricks and shit. And the reason this is happening is not because of, you know, it's not because the anti-Semitic people are doing this. It's because evil motherfuckers are allowing regular Jew people to take the fucking brunt of the evil that they do because they're calling any criticism of their evil anti-Semitic. So then the people hear that, and then they attack regular Jewish people.

Does that make sense? Absolutely. That's how I see it, man. It's just the language, you know, the war on language, man. It's all time. Have you ever, I mean, what? I mean, like, look, there's an irony to this already because, you know, like, he's because you know like he's you know

It's already verbal jiu-jitsu. You could just easily say that hey Can I criticize George Soros without you know without connecting to him to any sort of race or you know, Creed religion? Yeah, I have a problem if I had a problem with what he's doing then I could can I just say hey man? This is not cool. That is not cool that is not cool right and then with that doesn't matter who he is where he came from what creed what race whatever right but instead of that it's kind of like a gotcha thing you know what i mean like even these guys sitting in in congress or singing the house and then they kind of doing verbal judo against each other that we both know that one one side of the other one right and like so so the communication is already muddy it's not clear because because it became like oh

i got you i got you instead of like okay let's talk about what you know it could have been not simple hey we need to criticize somebody can we just it doesn't matter what race what creed be criticizing what he's doing if you know in this case and um and i think a lot of this this is you know bread and circuses man yeah it's theater it's theater yeah yeah yeah dude we have to be able to say what the problems are without these racial undertones or attachments or labels. Gotcha moments. Yeah, dude. Otherwise, the problems can't get solved. And if we really say that we care about these problems, then whenever, like, for example,

the black crime problem is a problem that I care about because I live in St. Louis, which is one of the highest crime cities in the whole country. Okay? When I look at black Americans, I don't think of them as black Americans. I just think of them as like fellow Americans, man. These are American people. And if we're looking at a group of people and I can point at them and say, hey, we got a crime problem over here with this segment of the

people. And I get called racist for pointing that out when in reality, I just want to fucking solve the problem. How can we ever solve the problems? You know what I mean? We have to be able to say, this is what this is. This is what that is. This is who's doing that without being these big generalization identity politic labels, man. Yeah. None of this is accidental. Oh, no, for sure. It's not accidental. America is under attack. American democracy, American ideas and ideas are under attack. I mean, this is in a textbook divide and conquer. So this is financed. These things are planned and financed. That's the biggest issue that there's an economic and an ideological war happening, right? And a covert war, you know. And definitely dollars is under attack, right? And so most of the things manifest this way, right?

A unified country is very difficult to take down. So this is, as I said, textbook. Divide and conquer. We are busy with some made-up stuff, like for example, racism. I think it's way, way overblown and almost

artificially created. For sure. No doubt. It's definitely something that looks like a psyop, right? I mean, are there racist people? Yeah. Yeah, but the data... Probably every race have racist people. The real data supports what you're saying.

You know, but it's definitely not the majority and definitely not the vast majority. So this is just amplified to create a division, right? Again, divided people are easier to deal with. This is, again, textbook America and American ideology and what this is and economically it is under attack. And nobody, you know, if you're not openly talking about what the real problem is, you know,

then this is exactly what's happening. We're dealing with this gotcha questions, who's, you know, who can get who, you know, there's a lot what's happening. We're dealing with these gotcha questions. Who's, you know, who can get who? You know, there's a lot of theater to this, right? More views, more likes, more shares. And we're busy with some made-up problems and some problems that are amplified to look like problems versus what is really going on.

Yeah. That's great, man. I agree with you a million percent. 100%, man. You know,ree with you a million percent percent. Yeah You know, there was a couple other hits. I don't know if you guys saw the his attack on Rana McDaniel. Yeah, you see that video. Yeah, it's amazing. It was fucking great. Yeah, do you have it? I do have it. Yeah, don't think like I mean we so we've had to bake on the show, right? and it's just like I mean

There seems to be like this resurgence of him because he did disappear for a little bit. Like, I mean, whether it was the polls or it just kind of seemed like he kind of, well, he's coming back out swinging. Vivek is a smart dude. We both met him. We spent time with him. The guy's smart. He's not dumb. What he's

doing is responding to the criticisms of what he's been placed on him. You know, everybody kept saying to him, he's too polished. to the criticisms of what he he's been played would have been placed on him yeah you know everybody kept saying to him he's too polished he reminds me of a finance politician he reminds me of a republican obama and you know what i think he started to realize that was hurting him and you know he hadn't said this to me or anything but i'm just making some assumptions from my observation sure um what he did last night was go up there and say it what I think is exactly what's happening and what I think everybody is observing

what's happening which honestly nobody's saying and he said in front of the entire world on NBC which was you know that's the liberal audience of the United States and I I think he realizes that the only chance he has is to be real and to say the real shit. And he said it. And it was awesome. It was fucking great. Here's the video, guys. Swami, let me turn to you.

Please make your case. Why would you, why should you be the nominee and not the former president? I think there's something deeper going on in the Republican Party here. And I am upset about what happened last night. We've become a party of losers at the end of the day. We're a cancer to the Republican establishment. Let's speak the truth. I mean, since Ronna McDaniel took over as chairwoman of the RNC in 2017, we have lost 2018, 2020, 2022, no red wave that never came.

We got trounced last night in 2023. And I think that we have to have accountability in our party. For that matter, Ron, if you want to come on stage tonight, you want to look the GOP voters in the eye and tell them you resign, I will turn over my yield, my time to you. And frankly, look, the people they're cheering for losing in the Republican Party. Think about who's moderating this debate. This should be Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, and Elon Musk. We'd have 10 times the viewership asking questions that GOP primary voters actually care about and bringing more people into our party. Do you think the Democrats, and we've got Kristen Welker here, do you think the Democrats would actually hire Greg Gutfeld to host a Democratic debate? They wouldn't do it. And so the fact of the matter is, I mean,

Kristen, I'm going to use this time because this is actually about you in the media, in the corrupt media establishment. Ask you the Trump-Russia collusion hoax that you pushed on this network for years. Was that real, or was that Hillary Clinton made up disinformation? Answer the question, go. Mr. Romney.

Sorry. This is how we get our country back. Look at that fucking smile. We need accountability because this media rigged the 2016 election. They rigged the 2020 election with the Hunter Biden laptop story. And they're going to rig this election on the scale of accountability. Let me turn to Governor Christie. Won't even answer the question.

No, because they're a piece of shit. Won't even answer the question, man. And then just final notes on this. They've been trying to get Trump off the ballot in a few states. This headline reads, Minnesota Supreme Court dismisses insurrection clause challenge to keep Trump off state's primary ballot. So yeah, the high court

just ruled that, yeah, no, he has to stay on the ballot because there is no claim for their calls. So yeah, that's wrapping up the debate calls, man. Any final thoughts on this topic? I thought Vivek did awesome. I thought he did great. I don't care what anybody thinks about him.

I thought he did awesome. That's what needs to be said. That's the real shit. Because even that alone, I mean, whatever. Honestly, though, like what we really need is a revolution. Yeah. Let's be real. These guys are going to fucking cheat again.

That's what I think. We got to have Zoltan playing that. Meet the Monster? Meet the Monster when it happens. That's what I think. We got to have Zoltan playing that. Meet the Monster? Meet the Monster when it happens. That's right. Meet the Monster is going to be a theme song for the revolution. Yeah, there's no doubt, man. We're going to be playing that on the speakers in my tank.

The biggest issue is you don't see the hands. You don't see the players. These are not the players, right? Again, circus is a circus. You. Again, circus and this is circus. You don't see the real causes of things. You don't see what is finance and why. You don't actually even see the reasons why things are happening. I mean, the entire media, it can easily, easily manipulate the public opinion. This is a 21st century media.

It's a dream come true for people who want to rule the world because it's the easiest thing. Anything can be lied about you and the public will believe it. Nobody will dig deep enough to see if it's true or not. We live on headlines, true or not.

I accept it as a fact. The real problem is that I think the real players are not visible. The real reasons why this is happening is not visible. Even if we talk about globalism, what is that really about? Or the southern border, why is it really open? And what countries have what interest? know what what is uh you know what's the situation with russia and and ukraine really you know like it's you know can you really put a country under embargo when you're still buying oil for them you know right you know there's you know the real the real questions don't really come up right so so the biggest issue is that i think it's just simply nobody knows the

players nobody knows what actually is happening so the only thing you can do is really is is grab on to what you do know right which is your first amendment rights your second amendment that makes sure the first is in place yeah so you, yeah. So, you know, the Constitution was created for a reason. You know, this is not an accidental, you know, and it was amended, obviously. So, you know, people thought about this, right? And so in this chaos, I think the only thing you can really do that you have to look at the things that you know

and can somewhat control as a society, right? And you have to look at the the things that you know and can somewhat control as a society right and you have to ensure that like i think the biggest issue is why this is happening is because the first amendment is already eroded absolutely that's why nobody can tell the truth how it is so once people can't tell the truth but we end up with this circus this this this hazy idea everybody's guessing what's going on because because people are not going to step out even journalists investigative journalists are very careful about what they're going to say what they're going to write everything investigative journalists exist anymore they do but you know some of them are dead now you know because they were good so that's the game so so what

the most important part is really that that's the absolute number one and most important issue is the first amendment i should be able to say anything i want doesn't matter who it upsets right and how it makes you feel yeah like fuck like fuck George Soros. Dot, whatever you want to say, you should be able to say that without a punishment, right? And if dot is eroded, then the truth slips

and then we end up in the circus. Then nobody can point that like what is really going on. So you don't know the facts. Yeah. None of us do. You know, we kind of,

you know, and if you start digging down now, you're a conspiracy theorist. And the difference between like, you know, the joke, the difference between truth and conspiracy is six months. Six months. Right. That's the meme now and unfortunately becoming true. So us people of this country, as people who believe in this country and believe in the future of this, right? What you have to do is reinforce and fight for the things you know for a fact

and you can fight for. These are conversations that we don't necessarily know. We don't know the hands. We don't know who plays, who pays for what. You don't know the players. There are so many nasty, like it's chess, right? It's chess games and you don't know the players there are so many nasty like it's chess right it's chess games and you don't know the players you don't even know the rules but the things we know is this first amendment and the second amendment and the entire constitution really but

the first amendment is what's slipping that is the absolute cause of all this and you cannot really say what you want to say. Can you go right now and tweet something that you really want to tweet? Or X now, whatever it is, name of it. Can you really do that? You think twice. You definitely think twice, but it takes courage. We're at the cusp, in my opinion, and I agree with what you're saying.

Let's say between my hands here is the First Amendment, right? Right. And it exists. It's healthy. This is how it's supposed to be. And what I see is the Internet, social media, technology, and cancel culture, political correctness, and a lot of these social initiatives have squeezed and squeezed and squeezed and squeezed and we still have a little bit left right and to your point yes we have to think about it right we hesitate but we still have enough left that if enough people start to speak up we can push the gap back to where it needs to be. And that's been the message that I've been trying to share for years now.

A lot of people hear people on a podcast or on TV or Elon Musk or Joe Rogan or whoever, right, speak. And they think because those guys speak that they don't have to speak. But what they don't realize is that because you guys are not participating, you're not sharing the message. You're not, like, I have so many people that tell me, I can't share the show because of so and so. Look, dude, you're part of the problem. And I'm not saying share the show, but at least share the message if you believe it. And if we don't get everybody to stand up and fill this gap and push it back out, this will collapse and we will have to use our Second Amendment rights.

And that's how I see it. That's what I've been seeing the whole time. I think we're still in a position where if enough people would just speak up, we could push this back out to where it needs to be. And we do have politicians standing up for free speech. You know, we've got Eric Schmidt here in Missouri, Andrew here in missouri that are running the lawsuit that's been accepted by the supreme court um that bans the government from dictating to the social media companies what they can and can't say and also uh i think it has some limitation on section 230 as well which you know is what allows these companies to do these internal censorings. But if you think about it, bro, we haven't had social media but for 12, 15 years. And it's a new technology, right? And there was never any real rules put in place

with that technology, very similar to what the internet e-commerce was when the internet started. You know, a lot of people look at Amazon and they say, holy shit, Amazon, Bezos is a genius. I'm not saying he's not a genius, but he also had 15 years where he didn't have to pay any tax. Okay. So he's being-

How much could you grow without that? Well, exactly. So you're giving a company, I'm just using this as an example of what's going on with free speech. The technology is so new that nobody thought out to how to regulate that technology. And because they became so successful and had so much money, very quickly, they were able to pay to keep these regulations from actually happening. And so like, dude, when I look back at Amazon, because I've been in business, you know, not as long as Amazon, but close to it, you know, I run a retail brick and mortar business that

employs real people. All right. And this entire time, you know, and then we've expanded into other companies, but that entire time, here I am a small main street American trying to grow a business. And these guys back in the day, Amazon didn't compete on, on convenience. They competed on price. And so they, you could literally order anything off of Amazon back then, and it would be 10% to 15% cheaper because they didn't have to collect tax or pay tax. Okay, so they're employing less people because their shit is all automated, all right, than Main Street America. And then the government is allowing them to have a 10% price advantage over the rest of the economy.

And now that's changed now. Now they have to collect and all those things. But for 15 years, what kind of gap could you widen out if you didn't have to pay that extra 10%? Well, the answer is when you look at Amazon, you could see it because- A few hundred billion? Yes.

Bezos was a very smart dude. He's a brilliant guy. He's built an amazing business. He worked within the regulations of the law. Totally get it. Totally get it. get it not hating on the dude but what i'm saying is because there was no regulation to to put in place in the beginning to compensate for that now we have a disproportionate advantage that those companies have over small

businesses that i don't really see how can be corrected without deregulation like we had deregulation of the phone industry in the 80s, right? Where they break it apart. We have monopolies forming because these things are not, they were not regulated from the start. And so when we look at free speech, it's very similar. Free speech, these guys were allowed to basically censor on their own platforms. And as they've grown and become bigger and bigger and bigger, they've captured more and more and more of the conversation. And so while free speech exists outside of social media where the actual conversations are happening, they're free to censor however they want. And the government's been free to do whatever they want, to dictate to them how they do it. And these guys then on top of that use their own technology like bots and people inside their companies to prop up social narratives that go along with the narratives they believe. I mean, there's no mistake that why Mark Zuckerberg gave, what was it? I think $400 million to the

democratic campaign in 2020. So he reflects those viewpoints inside of the rules of his organization, not the standards of what American culture should be. And the problem becomes when the culture shifts into these technology platforms and they're able to basically operate as a communist country inside these platforms. Well, it certainly looks like it. But, you know, a couple of things that you were saying. One, yes, we did not yet reach critical mass yet. So there is still some free speech. And so there is still some room. Communism could not exist if there was free speech. That's just no way. That was one of the requisite of any dictatorship can't really

exist if there is free speech. So at this moment, we didn't reach critical mass. There is, you know, we still have some room. As for the social media, I think it's not that the social media caused it. It's more like the social media was the first time where sort of everybody kind of had a voice. And then it very quickly became obvious, like, do you really have a voice? Right. Because before that, you know, you had, you know, legacy media. So, so you know we not necessarily were aware or many people were not necessarily aware of the operations that was going on that there is legacy media controlled right because with legacy media before you know television radio you can you know they whatever they say is the truth right and yeah we don't really know you don't really know yeah right so but with social media all of a sudden instead of controlling you know a handful of

corporations that own that legacy media now you have to control millions of people that's very difficult right and so then the social media was uh that kind of some somehow blew the lead off of these things because obviously everybody immediately started telling their truth. And then the information and a lot of information is now out there. And so in that moment, what you're going to do, you have to control the companies that control the platform. So when we talk about, I don't want to get into too much in a conspiracy theory, but just for the conversation's sake. So we view, for example, like, you know, let's say Facebook or Zuckerberg does this and that. Okay, well, that's one guy with a family that is this easy to threaten.

You don't know how he really feels. How do you know that he wasn't threatened? Well, you see that too. Not only that. No, bro. Go back to 2004. I think that's how they control all these people so i think that's kind of my point like yeah facebook stuff's a little

different go back to 2004 did you know that there was the the cia operation life life log or uh yeah yeah that's what's called life log the very next day after they stopped at facebook started right right so that's why we like again we don't see the hands we don't see that well you can kind of see that from Zuckerberg to brother like when you watch him watch what he's doing now like when I because dude you're an observer of people I'm an observer of people you know when I when I watch Zuckerberg

for the you know the outside of the last two years his whole life up until the last two years he's just a computer nerd tech geek, like billionaire, right? He's,

he's fucking Mark Zuckerberg. Now, all of a sudden, like people have started to identify the damage that has been done by his platforms. And they really fucking started hating them. And then you see him come out on Rogan and he does that interview with Joe Rogan where he's like, yeah,

man, the FBI called us dude. And they told us to do this and this and this. And then now all of a sudden he's into jujitsu and he's doing all this. Like, these are things that you would do to kind of show the world more of yourself. And like, he can't come out and be like, guys, I actually agree with you. They're threatening me or they're blackmailing me. He can't do that.

But what he can do is he can show sides of himself that make him seem more human and more real. And one thing that, you know, I have empathy for any human. I mean, dude, like this guy was a billionaire at 23 years old. How the fuck do you even deal with that? Like, that's a hard thing for people. Think of all the success that you've had and think of having that at 19 or 20 years old right like that and then multiply it times billions of dollars like that's a big that's a lot of shit to shoulder man as a young man and you're highly like dude you know how many times in my my journey of life i've been taken advantage of by people who i thought were there to help me i mean dude i could make the i mean you've seen it the list is a hundred miles long this is why i

stay at home sansa's list yeah dude like it's if you if you want to go for a conspiracy i mean like look you know whatever i'm going to say going to be used and against me and twisted into different headlines so i have to be very careful but i might put on the the hat myself look here's here's the thing like because again we don't know we don't know again, we don't know the hands. We don't know the players, right? But if you think about it, the backbone of America, the reason that this economy, this society exists the way it exists is because there are millions and millions of businesses

holding this economy up, right? And then you start looking at what's happening lately all these small businesses we don't have to even get into we all know what we're talking about these all these small businesses were taken out and disappeared and restaurants closed and you know so if the backbone of america which is millions of people who have the private sector holding it up if that private sector disappears what's left? You're going to have the Walmarts, the Amazons, the big ones, right? That means only a handful of companies exist now, right? If the middle America and the private business owner goes away and everything

is consolidated, all of a sudden you have, let's's say, 100 companies now running this country. I can't, myself alone, I can't threaten 100 people. Right? So if you can, you know, you can't threaten a million American business owners. But if this is boiled down to just 100 companies. No, I agree with you. Then you can go to every single one of those company owners and say, you're going to do this now or else, right? You control the country. Yeah.

So if I want to be a conspiracy theorist, if I was going to do this- That's not a conspiracy. That's a conspiracy. If I had aspiration to become some kind of a warlord or what I mean, to take over a country, that's how I would do it, right? Then I have to consolidate the powers to small groups

that I can control. I can't control millions. I can't control 300 something million people and millions of businesses. But if we knock out the backbone and it's only a few companies, how many social media platforms are there? 10? That matters. How do you know that Jack Dorsey, you don't know anything about Jack Dorsey. He was the head of twitter right you don't know who the guy is how he feels like you don't know was he threatened did he have to do what he did or was it his you know i could tell you this no you don't know that that's what i mean like we don't see the hands well what i here's what i would do if I was going to take over a country. I would invent a virus that was pretty benign,

and I would get all the businesses to close. And I would allow my friends' businesses, the ones that are important, to stay open. Okay? And then I would destroy those businesses. And then before I destroyed those businesses, I would come up with a little operation where, you know really rich dude who was like good looking and like very famous and had his own island

and then I would like go around to these people and I would invite them to my island and then when they came to my island, I would have underage girls serving drinks and hang out with them and do whatever they want and I would videotape all of it, right? And then what I would do is after they left the island, I would call them back up and I would send them a little video of what they did on the island. And I would say, guess what? You're going to do what I say. And then when the public caught on to what's going

on with the island, I would never, ever, ever release the names. And I would start wars and start division and create problems so that people forgot about this thing that's what i would do right again that's yeah you don't know the hands what a crazy idea you know right now like most people are gonna go like oh that's crazy conspiracy right but there are how many you know like operation mockingbird that was denied it did exist right MK ultra was denied to do that exist yes you know all those things existed so you know and here's the thing that's just America yeah you have no idea what's happening on that on the world scale dude I talked to some will scale I talked to some

high-level dudes that I know from three-letter agencies that are out of three-letter agencies. I'm not going to say who, but you were there. Flat out told me and him to our fucking face that the reason that Epstein Island is not being known public is because they have more of them, and that's how they use them to extract information from the assets of other countries. Straight up to our face told us that's just one and that's those are two dudes that know so and you know you you'll never you never know the names you never know who is who are the people who really own this planet and who run the show yeah you'll never know yeah yeah well guys jump in on the

comments let us know what you guys think about this conversation so far uh use hashtag round three fight let us know down in the comments so uh with that being said man let's keep this show moving and number two reads broken borders ap and reuters pictures of hamas atrocities raise ethical questions now this is something that's been trending it It's very, very interesting. Let's dive into it and let's see what we got on this. So this is from the Honesty Project, OK, or Honest Reporting. OK, put this article out.

It says on October 7th, Hamas terrorists were not the only ones who documented the war crimes they had committed during their deadly rampage across southern Israel. Some of their atrocities were captured by Gaza-based photojournalists working for the Associated Press and Reuters news agencies who early morning presence at the breached border area raised serious ethical concerns. What were they doing there so early on what would ordinarily have been a quiet Saturday morning? Was it coordinated with Hamas? Did the respectable wire services which published their photos approve of their presence inside enemy territory together with the terrorist infiltrators? Did the photo journalists who freelance for other medias like CNN and The New York Times notify these outlets. Judging from the pictures of lynchings, kidnappings and storming of an Israeli kibbutz, it seems like the border has been breached not only physically, but also journalistically.

And so they've been putting out this stuff, right? And so they send the four names appear on AP's photo credits from the Israel Gaza border area on October 7th. Hassan Islaya, Yusuf Massoud, Ali Mahmoud and Hatim Ali. Right. And these are some of the pictures we've all seen these pictures going around. How did these journalists. How were they there the very moment this thing kicked off inside of enemy lines? That's the big question that honest reporting went after and sought after um and so the internet's on fire right now with all of this

honest reporting has obtained screenshots of asli has now removed tweets on x in which he documented itself standing in front of the israeli tank he did not wear a press vest or a helmet. And the Arabic caption of this tweet read, quote, live from inside the Gaza Strip settlements. Now, shortly after the publication of this article, the article continues, says we were alerted to footage of Hassan Islayah next to Israeli tank. In addition, a photo has surfaced showing as liar with Hamas leader and mastermind of the October 7th massacre. Yeah. Yes. And why is the tweet of that?

So this guy is a freelance journalist who works mostly for AP News, Reuters, CNN, New York Times. And here he is taking a picture with the leader of Hamas kissing him on the cheek. So this is going around. Netanyahu jumped in on this conversation. Netanyahu demands answers from CNN, New York Times, AP Reuters on embedded Hamas photographers. In a statement, the National Public Diplomacy Directorate of the prime minister's office demanded action by news agencies. They said, quote, the National Public Diplomacy Directorate in the prime minister's office views with utmost gravity that photojournalists

working with international media joined in covering the brutal acts of murder perpetuated by Hamas terrorists on Saturday, October 7th in the communities adjacent to the Gaza Strip. These journalists were accomplices in crimes against humanities.

Their actions were contrary to professional ethics. Overnight, the government press office issued an urgent letter to the bureau chiefs of the media organizations that employ these photographers and sought clarifications on the matter. Now, of course, the AP News, they had no knowledge of any of it. Reuters jumped in on the same conclusion. And no one else at this time of recording has responded on it we got anything on this yeah i mean look without defending any sides

um one of the most famous picture in the world is um in 1962 ticuan duuk is a monk, emulated himself, right? It's a very famous photo. Everybody's seen it probably, right? Isn't it on the cover of Rage Against the Machine? It was. It was a very famous photo. It was on every newspaper at the time. Very, I think,

Kennedy passed some kind of an international, wasn't a law, but sort of an ask about human rights or something like that happened because of this picture. But, you know, a lot of people, journalists took pictures of this event, right? Now, why he did it and what this monk did is a whole different discussion and we could get into it another time. So do you think that the journalists that show up to take picture of this event knew what was about to happen? They were not told. So again I'm not defending anything here. I definitely want to stay away from that. But is it a possibility

that somebody just told these journalists, like, hey, be here, some respected or a higher ranking officer or a person in this organization in Hamas told them, like, hey, be here because there's something important we want to tell you. And they would be there. Yeah, there could be a million things. Right. So, it gave me, that's what I mean. So, before anybody jumps to conclusion, that's what I mean. We never see the hand. Who's doing what and why.

So, just like when in the case of the emulation, there were the journalists, they had no idea what was about to happen. They were told to come here, something important is going to happen. And there was the emulation. Would they try to stop that? Or, you know, They had no idea. So this is the problem in the world. Everybody's jumping to conclusion.

And unfortunately, we just don't know the truth. So these journalists maybe just were told, hey, be here, something important is going to go down, and they were there. They probably didn't know what is actually going to happen. So that's one possibility now you know there's obviously other possibilities were they cohorts in this maybe but we don't know that right but there's just that other side like i learned this now you know in in life that

that so many times what you're looking at most of the times what you're looking at is not actually what is happening it's it's most of the things are theater and and you don't see the hands you don't see the lines you don't see the powers that you know the makers and the movers you don't see them right so you know so there is that explanation that could have happened that these guys were just told be here something important gonna go down and they had no idea what what that was that's one possibility yeah it's also a possibility that you know netanyahu ignored calls from egypt telling that there was an imminent hamas attack for 10 days before it actually happened in the most

secure border of any country in the world and that's possible too i I mean, we don't know. And there isn't enough information here to fucking say so definitively. No. But it is weird to see like real press like right there as they're like fucking killing people. I mean, dude, they're at the – I mean, there's some of these pictures, they're literally at the gate. Yeah. Like moments before it gets going.

Yeah. Yeah, there's not enough information no here i mean i still want to know how they were informed by multiple different information sources prior to the actual attack and these people were allowed to hang glide in like i would i would i'm more interested in that answer yeah yeah you see the journalist there's there's a weird you know there's a weird blur line there you know what i mean morality and your job it's really really bizarre like if you look at you know if you look at the guys who are shooting i don't know national geographic right and then animals suffer and die front of them and they don't interfere because they look at i'm a journalist and this is nature and it will happen the way it happened and there was that very famous picture of a low african kid that was really

thin and and ended up dying of starvation right and the journalist who took the picture of this kid won some massive awards and in the eventually ended up committing suicide because like bro you were right there and you didn't do anything. So you know what I mean? So if somebody falls in the water, are you going to jump and pull them out or take pictures? So journalists have a really bizarre position in the world because are you telling the story or are you interfering? Or are you part of the story? So are you part of the story? Or are you part of the story? So this, you know, they've been taught their whole career that you're not the story.

Just record the story. And then somehow in there, it's a possibility that the morality slips. But you forget that, hey, hey, hey, you know, you could have saved this kid. You could have saved that animal. You could have pulled that guy out of the water. You could have interfered and and for some weird reason you something in your head was misaligned and and you were consenting on your job and forgot which one is more important you know so there are there is that too like there's a weird that's a great point you know there's a weird you know alignment with in with

journalists like how they see the world. Yeah. Yeah. Guys, let us know what you think on that topic. Jump in on that conversation. Yeah, I'm curious to see what you guys think. Yeah. I am curious, so let us know for sure.

Yeah. Well, that being said, let's get to our third and final headline. Headline number three. Headline number three reads, House GOP subpoenas Hunter Biden in in impeachment inquiry it finally came it's here yeah um so house republicans have subpoenaed hunter and james biden the son and brother of the president a dramatic escalation of their impeachment inquiry oversight committee chair james comer on wednesday issued the legal demand that the two Bidens appear for closed door interviews with his panel.

Comer also subpoenaed Rob Walker, a Hunter Biden business associate, and requested voluntary interviews with five other people, such as Sarah Biden, who is James Biden's wife, and Haley Biden, the widow of the president's late son, Beau Biden. It's the first time House Republicans have directly tried to compel testimony from members of the Biden family as part of their months long investigation, which former Speaker Kevin McCarthy escalated to an impeachment inquiry in September. While Comer has previously held closed door interviews with Hunter Biden business associates, much of his investigation so far has focused on gathering and analyzing bank records. So Comer's demanding that Walker appear behind closed doors with the panel on November 29th, James Biden on December 6th and Hunter Biden on December 13th,

according to copies of the subpoenas. And Comer's suggested he's willing to try to hold anyone who doesn't comply with the summons and contempt. So here's the thing. So his lawyers, Hunter Biden's lawyers, they agree to it. But it's a little it's a little weird. So they made the statement. They said this is from Abloh Low a single one of their wild and now discredited conspiracies about the Biden family. Nevertheless, Hunter is eager to have the opportunity in a public forum and at the right time to discuss these matters with the committee. But it's weird because it's like, you know, they're saying one thing,

but then there's they're doing other things behind. So we got this that came out. White House, you know, obviously they're going to try to smash it down. The White House immediately objected on Wednesday to House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer issuing subpoenas for the Biden family to testify under oath in December, calling the subpoenas, quote, nasty personal smears. So this guy, one of our favorite guys, this is Ian Sams, who in his ex bio says that he's a White House spokesman for oversight and investigations. OK, so he responded to this tweet where this person tweeted out. Annie Greer said, as I scoop scope, the subpoenas to Biden family were coming today. Here's the full list of subpoenas,

right? And it reads off all the names. He responded this. He says, quote, Haley Biden is the widow of the president's deceased son. Bo Elizabeth. Secundi is her sister.

Melissa Cohen is the president's daughter-in-law. They're all private citizens. He won't be. But Comer should be ashamed of desperately resorting to nasty personal smears like this. I remember when they put family on trial and there was no issues with that. Committee cabinets. They did Trump's family and Trump's daughter. They're still doing it.

They're still doing it. Yeah. Is that a nasty personal smear? Maybe it's just both sides. They're still doing it. Yeah. Is that a nasty personal smear? Right? Like, I mean, maybe it's just both sides, but here's the weird thing. No, it's not both sides. It's these fucking people think that they can do whatever the fuck they want, and then when someone else does it to them, it's a fucking travesty. It's a problem.

It's the problem. Dude, it's the problem with victim culture as a whole in this country right now. It's cool if I do it. It's cool for me to call you every name in the book but when you call me it's abuse you see what i'm saying right safe space right but here's the weird thing so you know that that hunter's attorney made that statement but at the same exact time he made that statement apparently he wrote a 12-page letter uh to the new speaker of a house to ask him to back off. That doesn't scream desperation.

Doesn't scream desperation. Yeah, we'll totally do it. Please don't make us do it. Yeah. The words that he used, too, were very interesting. So in a 12-page letter dated Wednesday, lawyer Ab Lowell asked Johnson to use his, quote, newly minted leadership post responsibly and to, quote,

think twice about stoking the spectacle taking place on Capitol Hill over the past year. Now I'm not one, I'm not a lawyer, but I mean, that does, that sounds like a fucking mafia threat almost. And we tell them people to think twice.

I mean, I mean, that's what you're dealing with. That's what we've been talking about. We've been talking about people that are willing to do whatever they want at whatever expense, threaten whoever they want, blackmail whoever they want, do whatever they want. This is why when I continue to say, like, they're not going to let anybody else take power from here on out because these people have committed such grievous crimes that they

know they'll be held responsible. So when you know that your ass is on the line, what are you not willing to do to stay in power? You're willing to do whatever it takes. That includes blackmail. That includes threatening. That includes murder. That includes anything. That includes burning the fucking country to the ground.

That includes creating a COVID fucking pandemic. And you know i mean dude listen nothing's off the table i i've been saying this for for years i don't think that they plan i think they're getting they're coming to the conclusion that the only way that they can maintain power and escape accountability is by somehow creating a situation that's so bad that we don't even have elections that's my personal opinion so which is war yeah right exactly if if we get into a war then right yeah and you see that happening over in ukraine right now it's like zielinski's saying this is no time for elections they're going to pull the same play here dude it's exactly what what what you said it's like personal you know a lot of personal things are going on it's war right it's basically a a political personal chess game being played out front of the people and um nothing's off the table this is about real power you know

and uh if that tail has to wag the dog, then that's what's going to happen. Yeah. Yeah. Guys jumping on this conversation. Let us know what you guys think down in the comments. Hashtag, please don't make me, let me know what you guys think.

Uh, so that being said, man, so that was our third and final headline. It's time for a final segment of the show. As always, we have thumbs up or dumb as fuck. This is a great one.

We got to go down South Andy. We're heading to Florida. All right. All right. Florida is my favorite place. Listen, I think we're actually got to go there. Huh? We got to go there.

That's where you guys should come train, bro. Yeah, so this is the real thing. So it ain't the, this AP article reading, it ain't the Olympics, but a group of Floridians

plan to host competitions themed according to the collective antics of the beer-loving, gator-possessing, rap-sheet-heavy, mullet-wearing social media phenomenon known as Florida Man. Organizers of the Florida Man games described the competition as quote, the most insane athletic showdown on earth. That's a hell of a statement.

The games will poke fun at Florida's reputation for producing strange news stories involving guns, drugs, booze, and reptiles, or some combination of the four. Among the contest planned for next February in St. Augustine, Florida, according to organizers, are the evading arrest obstacle course in which contestants jump over fences and through yards while being chased by real police officers. The category five cash grab in which participants try to grab as much money in a wind blowing booth and the self-explanatory beer belly wrestling.

Quote, This isn't just a competition. It's a one of a kind Floridian spectacle, organizers said of the games. The Florida man concept crept into the nation's consciousness superhero has been home to headlines such as quote florida man firebombs garage that impounded his car hits his own vehicle uh and quote florida man tried to pay for mcdonald's with weed now tickets are 45 bucks that's a fair trade what's that mcdonald's for weed oh 100 i'll give you my mcdonald's for weed all day% give you my McDonald's for weed all day yeah I give you weed for McDonald's fucking we got a deal bro this is capitalism this works yeah so tickets are 45 bucks apparently they got two former American gladiators are serving as referees and it's supposed to be a
