EP 44: Exploring the Immigrant Experience and American Values
Ever wondered how driving at 165 mph on the Autobahn feels, or why owning a nice car in Germany can be a social faux pas? Join us as we recount an exhilarating journey across Germany, Montana, South Dakota, and the Panhandle. We get candid about Germany's green energy policies, their controversial exit from nuclear power, and the resulting reliance on Russian natural gas. Not to mention, we savor the mouth-watering delights of German cuisine, from succulent pork dishes to divine chocolates and baked goods.
Is America truly the land of opportunity, or is that just a myth? This segment dives into the immigrant experience and the complex dynamics of American pride. We contrast the resilience and aspirations of immigrants with the historical inaccuracies that sometimes paint America in a negative light. The conversation examines how personal progress should outweigh comparisons, highlighting the paradox of anti-American sentiments in a nation known globally for its opportunities. We also explore the evolving perceptions of American pride in today's society.
Are we at the breaking point of societal progressivism? This episode takes a hard look at the implications of extreme socio-political movements, the ideological imbalance in education, and the merits of homeschooling. We debate the controversial topic of diversity, equity, and inclusion in hiring practices, questioning whether meritocracy is being sacrificed. Discussing substance use and its impact on ambition, we even touch on the simple joys of relaxing with a glass of wine. Packed with thought-provoking discussions and personal anecdotes, this episode promises to keep you engaged from start to finish.

We're ready to go. What episode is it? You think 44. 44. All right, cadillac, haven't seen you in at least five, six, seven, I don't know. Seven episodes maybe, or more. Well, no, we did the NAR thing. I was more like a class than an episode.
Speaker 2:It was for me at least, that's what.
Speaker 1:I do for a living, so you've been out and about. Where have you taught in the last, uh, in the last month?
Speaker 2:oh, man, I know you were in germany for a while. I was in germany for a while. I've been uh, I've been all over the place. Man montana, I'm going to south dakota next week. I'm going to the panhandle so you don't drink, right?
Speaker 1:no, that fascinates me, right? So what do you do in Germany if you don't drink?
Speaker 2:I mean there's plenty to do. There's a lot of food, Okay.
Speaker 1:So you're a food guy.
Speaker 2:Definitely a food guy. I'm a fat kid dude. Yeah, feed me, I'm a happy guy.
Speaker 1:So you just go to restaurants.
Speaker 2:Go to restaurants. I mean there's a lot to see there. A lot of world history went through there Did you know, that sounds like it's funny.
Speaker 1:So, for whatever reason we switched, we're no longer popular in Australia. What was it like? 12% of our viewership was from Germany.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, Well, there you go. I mean, Germany is going through some stuff. It's a very interesting culture there here. If somebody's got a nice car, you're like, oh man, I'd like to be like that person Over there. You've got a nice car and you're like, oh man, I like to be like that person over there. You got a nice car. Like, you're ripping people off, You're a bad person. I mean, they try very much to do that here there's, there's a subset of of of society that tries to make us lefty or righty over there. Oh my gosh, yeah, A shade left of marks.
Speaker 1:I mean, I don't want to say they're, I'm being silly.
Speaker 2:They're very green. They've made some very interesting choices based upon that that have really hurt them as far as making them dependent upon other parts of the world for their resources. They've gone away entirely from nuclear power, which has made them very dependent upon Russia for natural gas.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and that whole nuclear power shit is ridiculous, like nuclear power is one of the safest powers out there, cleanest thing that we got, cleanest thing we have by far, those submarines, those nuclear submarines and stuff. They could just go around forever. What stops them is that they have humans in them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they got to get food and all that stuff, but they could go on forever. So I mean, the big issues with nuclear is the disposal of the waste, but the amount of waste that's generated is infinitesimally small compared to the amount of power that it generates. It's not the cleanest that we have. Obviously. You know wind and all this other stuff is super clean, except that it's unreliable, and when you need it you don't have it. So what you're forced to do is what they'll do with places like solar. They'll harvest the solar energy. Now they have more than they need.
Speaker 2:They'll use that to pump water up a hill and then, when they don't have sun, they'll let the water go down the hill, use that to turn a water wheel and that's how they actually create a I believe it's called a kinetic battery, and so they store the power for later by using the power to do something that then will allow them to take and re-harvest. But obviously, whenever you do something like that, there's power loss, so it's inefficient.
Speaker 1:Yes, one of the times that I spoke to you or texted you or whatever, you were like going 200 on the Autobahn.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, we were doing 270 kilometers per hour, so that's 165-ish. Yeah, no, he was having fun and everybody's going that speed.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, it's crazy because— but you're allowed to go. There is no speed limit. There are parts of it where there are no speed limit and the thing is that once again that jealousy thing comes up, so like, if you're driving like a Porsche or something like that, people get out of the way. The car that we were in most of the time was this Mercedes SUV that he had with the high-end twin turbo, eight-cylinder monster, and so he's, he's moving really good, but people, like intentionally, would stay in the way to to like kind of slow you down, even though it's the autobahn, right, even though it's the autobahn. So on the autobahn there's there's much better rules than we have there. Like you can't pass on the right hand side, it's not allowed but if you're not passing you can't be in the left-hand line Interesting, and so he was perpetually passing and there were people that were just sitting there poking around in that left-hand line Just being dicks?
Speaker 1:Yeah, pretty much Interesting being horrible. So what's the food over there? Because Germany's not known for their food, just like London, or just like England.
Speaker 2:I know England is known for staying from their food. No, germany is when it comes to pork and chocolate and things like that. They're really really good Pork and chocolate, right yeah?
Speaker 1:that's interesting. No, I did well over there on the and I mean a lot of.
Speaker 2:There's a lot of good baked products like pies.
Speaker 1:So what you mean? Museums? What are you looking at like that?
Speaker 2:No, it was really more just driving around. Look at the time we drove to Hamburg, we drove to Berlin, Bloomberg.
Speaker 1:So I have, for whatever reason I realized when we had this Jewish NBA agent, I realized that I have an extremely anti-Semitic audience. Is there anything you could give us? Did you see anything over there that would make our anti-Semitic viewers?
Speaker 2:happy, I imagine, more annoyed than anything else. Over there there's any wisp of anything, even any kind of nationalism, like if you at all say you're a proud German, you're immediately a Nazi. I mean, there's no middle ground there. There is no nationalism. That's a lot like so they are where we're headed, is what you're saying. They are where they're trying to get us Like you, displaying their flag makes you a Nazi.
Speaker 1:Right like here. Well, here, if you display the American flag, you're a Republican. Right, if you're embarrassed or burning a flag, you're a Democrat. I mean that's just. I mean that's kind of like a rule of thumb right?
Speaker 2:I mean, I don't know that it's. I don't know that you're wrong. I I don't know that you're wrong. I don't know that you're 100% right, but you're probably more right, 99%.
Speaker 2:It's probably a higher percentage than and it's an interesting thing, right? I think the basic assumption is kind of this. I think the people on the right assume this is a good country that's made some mistakes, but what's good is well worth preserving and building toward. The left's position is this is a. They start with the idea that this is a bad country who's made a whole bunch of horrible moral choices and it's almost irredeemable.
Speaker 1:I know, see, but obviously you and I see eye to eye on, I would say, almost everything politically, maybe abortion I haven't even talked to you about abortion. Maybe we're on different sides of that, but who right? But for an immigrant like myself and you, it's interesting because you were born here but you have an immigrant mentality still like it was. It was you know, brought up your your dad raised you like a fucking immigrant, yeah, and you know like, just appreciate what you have here and the whole situation.
Speaker 1:So when I when I see me growing up again, I came from Cuba on a shrimp boat. I've said it a million times on this podcast right For us to come to the United States. It was just the opportunity of a lifetime, something worth risking your life for. It is so amazing on that side that it is worth risking your life. Now, when things would get complicated is if we got here and we're like, oh shit, this is not that, I just risked my life for no reason. Yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1:But no, it is exactly what it's supposed to be, as advertised. So it's interesting because, growing up an immigrant, I always found myself very proud of being american, right like being american. So I grew up around the people that I grew up on american flag is it's. You should be proud of being american? I don't know where the fuck this turned around, where now, all of a sudden, if you're the guy with the american flag, if you have an American flag on your car or on your boat or on your whatever it's like you are, I don't know what are the Democrats tag you as or label you as, if you're flying.
Speaker 2:The only way to take and do this is they've taught a very stilted version of history. Right, they've gone down the road. And one of the most cited guys is Howard Zinn, who made up, he wrote a history book that was basically historical fiction. Right, they've gone down the road, and one of the most cited guys is Howard Zinn, who made up a wrote a history book that was basically historical fiction. Right, and it's been passed off that the academia picked up on it and loved it. I mean, the vast majority of people in the Howard Zinn society that worship at this guy's altar are academics, alter our academics, and the reality of it is it's one of the most poorly researched, one of the most incorrect, one of the most factually just fabricated pieces of information.
Speaker 2:But the left has fallen over Christopher Columbus, christopher Columbus. For hundreds of years. Even the people that were most critical of what went on all said people should have been more like Columbus, because Columbus tried his absolute level best to do the right thing. Howard Zinn undid that by taking two different quotes from Christopher Columbus, throwing them together in his book, completely out of context, and saying this is who this guy was, that he was trying to enslave people context and saying this is who this guy was, that he was trying to enslave people, and that, unchecked, unresearched, has been accepted as gospel doctrine by the left in academia, in classrooms, all over the place. And this is how they sour people on history.
Speaker 2:Look, understanding and admitting history is nuanced. All right, there were mistakes made, there were things done well and things done poorly, but overall, when you compare it to the history of the rest of the world, the United States has to come out ahead of that thing over just about everybody, and we have been the one overwhelmingly that has been keeping the peace all this time. Because, frankly, if we step back, europe has a huge problem the Far East. So all of this stuff that people want to take and make us the bad guy. There's a famous saying I think it's attributed to Voltaire, but I'm not sure it's his the perfect is the enemy of the good. In other words, if you are comparing something to perfection, you will never be happy with what you actually have.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, and comparison is the comparison is the enemy of happiness.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 1:When you worry about yourself and where you're going, you're good. When you start comparing yourself to everybody else. Well, why did he step up three steps faster than I did, and why am I only up two steps? And everything. That's when things go wrong. If you worry about yourself and you worry about you, stay focused on you getting better. And it's that old saying. You know I'm only competing against myself, right, it is. You're going to continue to progress. You start. It's that. What's this swimmer? The guy with all the medals? The Phelps, the Phelps. He's swimming, and then he's ahead and then there's a swimmer right next to him and the swimmer's just looking at him. Right. So Phelps is here, swimmer's right next to him, and he's looking at him, and then it says winners worry about themselves, losers worry about winners, absolutely.
Speaker 2:So that's an absolute fact, and it's weird for me because the dissonance that exists, because it seems like they want to take in the folks, the anti-American folks seem to want to worship all these cultures besides the United States, yet the people that have the choice are overwhelmingly leaving where they're from to come to here.
Speaker 1:I don't know they are risking their lives.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 1:On rivers and through drug dealer fucking networks and everything to come over here. Did you hear about the Haitians, the 100,000 Haitians that landed in an Ohio town and all the cats and dogs are gone and stuff, you know?
Speaker 2:I mean it's a fucking fact Extreme poverty.
Speaker 1:Well, it's not only that. They come from a place where anything that moves is food.
Speaker 2:I mean, it's not the case here and we're not that far removed away from that being Germany In Germany between World War I and World War II, moved away from that being Germany In Germany between World War I and World War II. There was not a cat, a rat or a dog in the streets. That was the extremeness of the poverty that existed there. So I mean the idea that it's like isolated to these places. Different parts of the world make political and economic choices that put them in those positions and there's a real human fallout from that. And the United States has been the safe place that you could go to have a hope for something better. And them, the folks that want to take and piss all over that while worshiping these other places that people are looking to get away from to get to this. I don't really understand how they hold that dissonance in their head without their head exploding.
Speaker 1:Well, and why don't they just go there Like I mean what, like germany, for example? Right, if they love the way you know, like americans over here, they want to see you. It's a I get it with cuba all the time, like it's like there was a guy. Uh, man, let me tell you something you want to really, your head really wants to blow up. So again, I had this, this israeli, um, israeli, uh, agent that's been on the podcast and everything like that.
Speaker 1:And, man, our comments just went absolutely insane. I mean, if there's any other subsector call it racial, religious or whatever that thinks they have it hard, beish for one day, one day. The amount of hate and absolute attack, openly attack this, this, this religion, on, on on the on our instagram. It is absolutely amazing, it is, it is disgusting, it is alarming. So why are the jews being able to be attacked openly like there was a guy, so he was just going crazy on it. I'm like, well, let me click on this guy and and see I was fascinated by what the hell is going on. I go to click on it and this guy has a video saying fuck you israel, fuck israel Israel. I mean just openly, openly anti -Semitic, if that were towards any other subsector of our population. It would be people in the streets complain, but they could happen in the universities, they could get attacked anywhere. I don't know. I don't know. I mean again, if you're any other race, religion or anything and you're complaining about being discriminated against or anything, be Jewish one day One day.
Speaker 2:I think that part of this is because there's definitely been an uptick in that. I think that the left has pulled back from the— there was consistent agreement that the Jewish people needed to be recognized and that that was intolerable behavior, right, and that has been largely pulled back as the left has tried not to cobble together this separate group of people, because the left is is largely made up of these relatively disparate groups of people right that a lot of times, like if you think about what they are actually about, they don't actually hang out together, like they're. Nobody in that group is going out to dinner.
Speaker 1:Well, let's talk about the case I mean regular, regular gay people don't want nothing to do with the fucking extreme lefty trans movement. You know, dei, hire me because I'm trans. This type situation. They want nothing to do, they want to be happy and they want to be gay and they want to be married and they want to have their, they want to adopt kids and they want and be what? Be left alone. That was the gaze of the past. Now it's no. I'm in your face. I want your kids to be trans. I want you to pick their gender after they're born. I mean I want. I mean after they're born. I mean I want. I mean it's what's this? Megan fox girl, three trans kids. Megan fox has three kids, all of them born one gender and now they're another gender, all three of them. I mean what the fuck like? What is going?
Speaker 2:that's what extreme leftist brings you, you know I mean, I think that this is the, the left's position is the highest thing that you can be is yourself. Everything is about you. It's actually in an effort to be very caring about everybody. It's all become about you. So you're a good person. You show everybody you're a good person by doing these things and that makes you feel good about you.
Speaker 2:I don't know that any of it is truly generous or kind. I mean, being truly generous or kind is hey, I see somebody hurting over there. I go over there, I take care of this, I help them and I don't have to get my name out Like no, no, guys, don't take a picture of this. Right, that's being a good person. Like I don't have to get my name out Like no, no, guys, don't take a picture of this. Right, that's being a good person. Like I don't need anything out of this. None of this seems to be that. All of this seems to be me showing everybody. This virtue signaling is a real thing. You know, like you say stuff and then you look around and make sure everybody heard you.
Speaker 1:Hey, did you hear me? Yeah, yeah, Like see, aren't I a good person.
Speaker 2:And so it seems that these folks that are very sensitive to being triggered on all this stuff yet are very comfortable now saying some very anti-Semitic things, because that's the cool place now to be controversial and to like. Because here's the thing this generation doesn't have anything to fight. They don't have a world war.
Speaker 1:They don't have. Well, it goes back to that. Saying the strong, what is it? Strong times.
Speaker 2:Hard times make. Make strong, men strong make, yeah, yeah, right that one right.
Speaker 1:So it's you know, and, and, and why I'm concerned about this, this, this election, it's. It's like, uh, it's like analyzing the real estate market. Right, where are we today, where are we now? It's a buyer's market or seller's market or anything like that. So I was thinking the other day laying in bed, you know, just, uh, just kind of thinking I'm like we might be a lefty country now, like we might be in the. So let's, let's analyze this, right. So, hard times creates hard men, right, hard men create easy times. Good times, yeah, good times. Good times creates weak men. Yep, that's where we are right now.
Speaker 2:Oh, sure, right this is what happened to rome and pressure.
Speaker 1:So we are the. We are in the stage of good. Uh, easy times creates weak men, correct? That's where we are right now, so that what needs to happen in order for us to now create, you know, hard men, and the whole situation is we need to go through some hard times, and the only way to do that is if we go extreme, left, right, and we have to have, you know, hard men, and the whole situation is we need to go through some hard times, and the only way to do that is if we go extreme, left, right, and we have to have, you know, these food controls and this equity everybody, everybody, equal, no matter, you know, equity of of, of, of equality of income, of of of outcome, right, no matter, no matter who you are, how hard you work, how much talent you have, everybody is absolutely the same. So that's going to create hard times, which is going to create some hard men.
Speaker 2:But the question is, will it go too far before it's redeemable? Because that's the problem. Every great culture comes to an end at some point and typically what happens? Are we there? That's what I'm trying to say, like we might be. The question is, I mean, because we've we've toyed with this back and forth, before we go left, we come back right. I mean this hard left it's different. It's different. I mean you can look economically at some of the decisions made. If I was to take to take and list some of the things that were done during FDR's presidency, you'd be shocked that that could go on. They made it illegal for you to own gold. They confiscated everyone's gold. Could you imagine them coming to say that gold chain?
Speaker 1:With all due respect, and you are, I've told you many times you're the smartest guy I know. That doesn't hold a candle to putting tampons in men's restrooms.
Speaker 2:It is a different.
Speaker 1:I mean that is tampon Tim, like Trump calls him, had an initiative to put tampons in the men's restroom so that when men menstruate they have a tampon. I mean, have we ever been that?
Speaker 2:extreme. No, it used to be that we used to fight these battles on the economic front. The left and right was separated by economic policy. There were certain things that we largely agreed on. Those things have.
Speaker 2:The idea of progressivism is that something always has to be changing, because something needs to change for change's sake, and so they're seeking. They're seeking for hills to die on right. You don't have a. There's never there's been. Nobody under like 60 years old was ever drafted right, and so these folks have never had anything serious enough, and so this is the war that they want to fight. Everybody needs something important to fight for, so this is the thing they're going to take. This is the hill they're willing to die on Right, and so this is the slavery of their generation.
Speaker 2:Folks see now, because in mainstream education you are told there are oppressors and there are the oppressed. You're one or the other, there's nothing else. You can either be an oppressor or you can be oppressed. There's nothing else. You can either be an oppressor or you can be oppressed. So your job to be a good human being is to find the oppressed and relieve them of the burden of being under the heel of the oppressors.
Speaker 2:That is it and so folks have bought into that idea rather than you know, the idea that we can just have a good common debate about the topic and make progress and, like you know, let's find a good way to deal with this. If you don't agree, you are a bad person you are. Your opinion doesn't matter, because by not agreeing you're a morally evil human being and that just takes and discounts your opinion and unfortunately, when that happens, everybody is at each other's throat because you've just called me a name which does not take in any way deal with the quality of my argument and you have said by virtue of the name you call me, you're a poopy head, because I'm a poopy head. Now that has made my well thought through argument completely invalid, and this is what passes for debate in today's world.
Speaker 1:And that's where the breakdown occurs. Well, and it's all starting, but I think you're the one who told me or it was you or Richard that told me that's never really changed. Education has always been lefty. Yeah, education has always been lefty, and, if anything, we've gotten a little bit better on that, right? No, no, no, it's gone the other way, it has gone the other way, the book.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to think of the book. It was written by not written by a conservative at all. I believe the book was called the Coddling of the American Mind, and so it was written by somebody who was, admittedly, quite far left.
Speaker 1:And he was actually on Rogan.
Speaker 2:And somebody that was centrist, and they said that the ratio used to be pretty consistently about four to one. There'd be four liberals to every one conservative in academia and that was, you know, historically, the ratio you'd expect for the longest time in this country. Now that ratio is closer to 27 to one and so, like if you're a conservative I know a few conservatives in academia they know they just don't open their mouth. If they say anything, if they try to voice their opinion, they're immediately shut down and potentially risk losing their employment. And so, as much as they talk about how much they want diversity of ideas and it's an academic that said that to me if you really want diversity, tell me how many conservatives are in your humanities department. And the answer is there aren't any.
Speaker 1:Yeah, let me ask you a question, because you mentioned books right? So you've read what thousands, yeah, is the other. Put a number on it. Right around 3,500, I would say 3,500 books right, you had to give two books, just two, like there was.
Speaker 2:You know who's the person I'm talking to Kid Kid. Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell for sure Best book that I've ever read on understanding just how an economy works, One of the best guys for just cutting through the bullshit, looking at bad statistics and telling you what's wrong with them, what's missing, that makes a bad statistic. One of my favorite quotes is Mark Twain, who said there's three kinds of lies lies, damned lies and statistics. Whenever you get a statistic, you always got to ask what's missing? What are they leaving out? So that would be a great one.
Speaker 2:And then and I mean I just said it, but you know, obviously, without going into some sort of religious text, I would say I would say the coddling of the American mind is probably a pretty good read. You know, understand how important it is for your ideas to be honed in the fire. I love to talk to somebody who thinks differently than me but has thick enough skin that they can handle the fact that I'm going to push back against their ideas in the best way I know possible, and I want them to do the same. And I want to be able to walk away, friends, when we're done, because if I don't have the best idea in my head, please show me where I'm wrong, but I'm also going to take and push you as well, because that's what people that want to be part of a good society should do they should help each other test their ideas in the fire of debate. Were you homeschooled?
Speaker 1:I was from your whole life, no, from fifth grade on Fifth grade, on what happened in fifth grade, that your dad that was a very bright guy Even back then right, he didn't like some of the slang I was coming home with and he was Like you came back saying you know what I'm saying, or something like that, or what.
Speaker 2:Fana or something like that.
Speaker 1:And he just didn't want to hear it.
Speaker 2:That is the funniest fucking reason for that and he knew that he used to tell me all the time. One of his famous lines is from the people to the people. In three generations the grandfather comes over, he works his fingers to the bone, you know, 18 hour days and he makes something. The kid comes along. The kid sees it from when he's young but you know he wants to make sure his kids doesn't have to go through what he does, so his kids don't. Was there one incident that he said no, this is it. I don't know really what it was. I just know that he believed in hard work. I knew that he was going to. You know, he had built something. He was going to leave it to me and he wanted to make sure that I didn't blow it.
Speaker 1:Let me tell you something, man I'm homeschooling both of my kids and when I say homeschooling, listen, I want to make sure, like, if any of my friends that are here graduated with a 1.5 GPA, I am not capable of homeschooling anybody. Sure, right, like at all in my farm, you know, and like I'm with a pencil and a board and shit. No, it's a system, it's a homeschool system and and you know there's tutors and there's, you know, that type of stuff, and you know we even have language and and and uh, as you know, kind of like you and I have been talking about, you know kind of creating a curriculum for for these kids. You know a little bit more business oriented, but, um, but let me tell you something, man, it is really hard to explain to somebody the homeschooling thing.
Speaker 1:It is just like they, oh, you're homeschooling, oh, really why? If I don't want to talk about it, I say no, it's because of sports, which which is really the reason why, why it started. But I'm now I'm seeing so many benefits from it. Sure, it started because my kids train there's too much training in order for them to spend it not in school, because they, if anybody understands homeschool, they do more schooling actual schooling In less time, in way less time.
Speaker 1:Yep, it's just efficiency of learning, maximal efficiency, maximum efficiency. And what usually happens with these homeschool kids is that we have a kid that's just got into ninth grade. Right now he's already taking college credits. Yep, like, the fucking problem with him is that he's gonna almost finish college by the time he finishes high school. Right, that's what the people don't understand. So it's not school, it's by far superior schooling. The curriculum is almost identical, or or bet or better. Yeah, right it, it takes away all the fluff, but it's hard for people to understand the homeschooling part. I mean, can you bring some light on your benefits of homeschooling? You're laughing, so I'm wondering.
Speaker 2:I'm tossing this out because anybody that thinks that we do schooling well needs to go back and read the letter of John Quincy Adams to his father, john Adams. John Adams is the second president of the United States. John Quincy Adams, at like nine or 10 years old, is writing his father and begging his forgiveness for his indolence for letting his mind wander as he's translating Tacitus from Latin. Jesus, as a little kid, you know, father, I'm mortified that I find my mind wandering and I know that I need to take and get my. You know like I mean even the quality of the letter, like our kids, no freaking shot. This experiment with public schooling, which is actually a relatively modern development.
Speaker 1:Right. So that's why it's been a failure. That's what it was explained to me the other day, like I saw somebody explaining it this way and I was like oh, my God, you're right. They're like, oh, because this experiment about homeschooling? No, no, no, you're right. They're like, oh, because it's experimented by homeschooling. No, no, no, no, no. The public school system, the private school system, is the experiment. We've been homeschooling till what? The thirties, the twenties.
Speaker 2:Believe it or not. Largely the labor unions wanted to get the child. The labor unions were responsible for getting children out of the workplace because they wanted to take and thin the working pool. Now I'm not sitting here making a case for child labor, although I worked as a kid and I'm very grateful. It was one of the best experiences From the time I was nine years old. All the way through high school I went to work every day and drew a paycheck down 6 am to 1 pm. I went to work. I had responsibilities. I didn't do it. I got in trouble. It was a real and I went to school thereafter. But the labor unions wanted to take a thing out of the workforce, so they created the truancy system and you know the schooling system.
Speaker 1:So it wasn't the school system that created the school system.
Speaker 2:No, I mean it was. You know. We need our kids to be educated. Look, there's lots of ways to sell this. We need our kids to be better educated, an educated workforce, and look, I'm a big fan of education, but it's learning the stuff that actually has value. And I think that, and especially considering I told you I went back to college older, they were much more concerned with changing the way that I voted than they were teaching me anything in particular. They were more concerned with me getting their social values. It seemed like I mean every spare second the teachers had, they were making a social case. So for me, being homeschooled meant that I had more time available. I would typically finish my lessons within an hour and a half or two hours a day Because I would go in there. I had a professional curriculum. It was all spelled out for me. I had a checklist of what I had to do and if I got through that list.
Speaker 1:I was done. And, by the way, if you want to haul ass and you want to get all your work done for the year in six months or in four, I mean, you could do it as fast as you, absolutely Absolutely. You could be super efficient and then give you time to do other stuff, you know, and extracurricular activities and the whole situation. So the fact that what people don't realize is how much and again, I'm just learning this now because now I'm really diving the first couple of years that my kids were homeschooled it was like all right, we'll put them on this fucking thing and just let them do it. But now I'm like really involved in it because I'm kind of helping create the system per se, sure, and it's like you realize how to be able to keep a, the only reason let's put it this way the reason why they keep a kid in school for eight hours.
Speaker 1:It's more for the parents than it is for the kids. Yeah, there's not eight hours of work there, there's not, there's three hours, two hours of actual. The rest is fluff. So the kids in school doing shit, plus the hour of lunch and the recess and the PE and the this and the that and the in-between periods and all that kind of stuff. It's fluff. It's a lot of fluff.
Speaker 2:And plus, they don't actually learn the material, which is crazy. I mean, I had a friend that I was with in Germany. His son did a year here and he was blown away that the teachers would give kids study guides that have the actual answers to the test. Like he was, like all I have to do is study that and everything else I did was a waste of time. Over there they say read these five chapters and you better know it, because their questions are gonna come out of there and they're not gonna give you any guide. They actually expect you to know the stuff.
Speaker 1:Well, and homework too. I mean homework. I've never understood homework, because if you're spending, if you're in middle school and you get dropped off at nine or eight and then get picked up at four and then you have two hours of homework.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, if this was a regular job, I'd be earning a time and a half for that.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean. Well, why is the school not efficient enough that you can get everything done? Why are you not able to get everything done? So another part of the homeschooling is dude, you get your work done during the day, right. And now, again, I'm being honest, I'm doing it for sports stuff, right. So now they have more time to train and everything like that. But either way, you want your kid to have even more of a life and the whole situation. So now there's a social aspect of it. I know you You're not fucking weird, do you feel you're weird? In some cases, I guess, oh, totally, it's not because of the homeschooling. So do you think that it affected you socially at all, or no?
Speaker 2:I would say some in my early years probably, and that's only because we did it very isolated, so like it wouldn't be a situation for your kids because they have the sports they're into and stuff like that. My father very much wanted to take and pull me out of culture.
Speaker 1:Oh, purposely pull you out of culture.
Speaker 2:Purposely pull me out of culture. He genuinely thought it was going the wrong way.
Speaker 1:That's in New York? No, that was here.
Speaker 2:That was here, okay, and so he just he wanted me to have. And, one of the cool things, my father was older when I was born and so he didn't have the how old was he? My father was 50 when I was born, okay, and he was almost 60 when my sister was born.
Speaker 1:Okay, wow, and so, yeah, he kept it real for a long time.
Speaker 2:For a long time and so he didn't have the perspective of a new dad. He had seen a lot of life. I mean I always say, like the most interesting, the Secchies guy, the most interesting man in the world, he's got nothing on my father. My father could tell stories, I mean for days and stuff. He wouldn't even tell the story. Some of them were so crazy Like he didn't want me hearing that.
Speaker 1:He did that.
Speaker 2:He hired a teacher from the school that I used to go to to come, and that was the job Successful guy said you know what?
Speaker 1:I want my kid to actually learn stuff.
Speaker 2:That's it.
Speaker 1:I'm going to put a teacher there and then you have time to do other stuff.
Speaker 2:And so he and I would watch old movies together, I mean like black and white movies. I grew up watching black and white movies. I saw how culture was a long time ago and where we were. So it's the same thing even when I talk about realtors and showing a customer, before you get the home inspection, show them what a home inspection looks like, why Now they have context.
Speaker 2:I now had context that what I see on TV is not how it always was, and so it gave me a mindset to look at culture and say, well, these things, man, these are way better than what they used to do, but these other things they make no sense. We should be doing the way we did. It before made a lot more sense, you know, and so I think it just helped me not to just take everything for granted the way that it is, and so that was kind of the big gift that I felt my father gave me, plus a lot of his time, yeah, and and you know, and even back then there wasn't I mean, he'd be rolling over in his grave right now with the whole DEI movement.
Speaker 1:But let me tell you something. I have some good news here Cadillac Companies that are dropping out of this whole DEI bullshit, All right. And man, let me tell you something If there's one of these social movements that just absolutely drive me insane, it's the DEI stuff. Is the microphone picking up that Ferrari? That's because you're not a racist, or?
Speaker 2:a sexist. If you're a racist or a sexist, it would bother you, but you're not a racist or a sexist. So therefore, people being discriminated based upon their gender or skin color, that should bother you. That's exactly what we fought for years to not happen. Martin Luther King said the content of people's character. This is going the opposite way. It is saying let's take and choose people based upon not what they're about, but what they look like about things about them that they can't change.
Speaker 1:Right, I saw this guy that Instagram that I always send that guy that just he's eating and he's saying this smart-ass comment.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean? Just like real short one-liners and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah he's like if, if you could hire a woman for less than a man and she does exactly the same thing, why not just hire all women? Exactly right, you know what I mean. Like, just why are companies just not one? I mean you could same person get them for less? Because it's just not true. And unfortunately, that's like I've never heard it explained that way. I'm like oh yeah, why don't I?
Speaker 2:well, I'm going to go even further. All right, the company that doesn't hire the better qualified woman will not have the best people working for them and will lose right as a business. I only want to hire the best, most affordable people that I can. If I don't, my company will not be as good as it can be and my returns, my profits, will hurt. We are financially incentivized to put the best people that we can. If folks are sitting here saying, well, you know, people only hire people that look like them, well, those companies that make that choice are not going to have the best people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it's you know, as an entrepreneur, as a person who's been hiring people for 25 years, and I'm not listen, I'm not here to say I'm like the best guy in the world or anything but far from it, but when I'm hiring somebody, I like what, what race, or or, or, or, or gender, or, or whatever, like I mean they come in and they and they're like well, I'm, you know, they show they're really good. I really don't care what, of course. I mean I've been, I've been joking around it. For the last I've hired a couple gay guys now and I'm thinking, going all gay, you know what I'm saying. Like, I mean these guys are fucking awesome.
Speaker 2:They had their shit straight straight.
Speaker 1:I mean they really do. I mean, you know, like, at the end of the day, like you know, it's dude. I'm interviewing you, I'm asking you a series of questions. I get a feel, because I've been doing it a really long time who's going to really, you know, want? Who's going to really, you know, do the best at the position that I'm hiring them for. I really don't give a shit about anything else. I'm worried about my company. You know what I'm saying. Like, I'm worried about my company, like so.
Speaker 2:I just want the best person that I can put in there. Who's going to take the most brain damage off, like I want as little blowback for me If I'm bringing you in, please do your thing well so I don't have to hear about what you're not doing right, and I just want competency. I do a lot of hiring for my company as well and you know to fly in the face of this. You know people hire people that look like them.
Speaker 1:I don't have anybody that works for me that's checking my boxes, yeah, look. And if I could get Ariel to go gay, right, I mean, he's black and gay, I mean he's black and gay, I mean I could cover, I could cover.
Speaker 2:It becomes unfireable at that point there you go?
Speaker 1:Job security. So Ford, harley-davidson, home Depot, lowe's, john Deere, homegoods, lyft, doordash, zoom, that's just some of the companies that we kind of researched that have let go of the whole DEI thing Because again and I know I've had a couple of these Instagram clips on the whole DEI thing so just to make sure diversity, equity and inclusion, that's what this whole DEI thing I am now in charge of hiring. So when they hire these dei experts, they are hiring somebody that their job is to, not literally not hire the best, it's to fill in. I need four blacks, five gays, three women, because I, I'm not, I don't have enough of a ratio. I'm going to hire them irrelevant of their preparation, right? Am I exaggerating?
Speaker 2:that it's some of that. For sure, it's definitely partially affirmative action by a little bit of a different name as well. But there's also this general idea that a person's differences make their opinion more valuable, because having a variety of opinions in the room matters, and so that is the leverage point that they make to take and say this has value to it. And, frankly, I think that somebody's skin color or gender is far less important than the things that they've chosen to study and learn along the way. That's what's going to make their opinion more valuable and that whole thing about people buy from the.
Speaker 1:No, nobody knows who's in the desk, who's in the accounting desk of Harley Davidson. I agree with you. You know what I'm saying All of a sudden, of Harley Davidson. You know what I'm saying, like, all of a sudden. If Harley Davidson started hiring all Cubans, right, like? I mean, you go in there, everybody had capri, white, capri pants on and the funny-looking shit that they wear now and the funny haircuts and everything like that, that wouldn't make any difference to me whatsoever. Why would I buy a Harley Davidson, depending on who works in the accounting department? Absolutely Like. It makes literally a systematic shitting on our country and the processes and the companies that I mean. We are small businesses, right, the economy, there's nothing more. And again, this is with a question mark, because I know you're going to have a history of small businesses in our country. So is there anything more important to our economy than small businesses?
Speaker 2:No, because small businesses become the big businesses. This is how it works. It's the small ideas that turn into the big ideas. It's the constant willing of trying to find the next best thing. This is what makes it so beautiful, brother right? The reason why this country works.
Speaker 2:Even though it's so easy to point to greed, people are always doing something to get ahead. But the thing that's required for me to get ahead is to figure out what you need and how I can get it for you or to you in a way better or cheaper than you can get it someplace else. And then you, by your free choice making, with a myriad of choices, making the choice to pick my product because I've done the work considering you. The reason why capitalism has worked so well is it forces us to consider the needs of somebody else first. Now there's places where that breaks down. You could get into the case of high-end Wall Street, where people just don't understand what goes on, but understand those guys are managing the funds for grandma's pension too, and we want to make sure grandma doesn't have to eat cat food. So I think that the fact that they've they get away with it in Germany, because they get each other at each other's throats because if you're successful it's at my expense.
Speaker 2:That is a very, very limited aspect. It is a scarcity mindset that makes it not a very healthy environment. The reason why immigrants do so well in this country is they come here with the prosperity mindset there's a lot of pie to be had. Let me go get my slice of America. And they do, because they expect it and they're looking for it. The American citizens that are out there complaining and whining don't get their slice of the pie because they believe all the pie has been taken by somebody else and there's none left for them. That idea, that mindset, is why our young people in this country do not appreciate what they have, because they have been sold a bill of goods that the immigrants know isn't true and come here and prove it. The very success of the immigrants we see in this country flies in the face of this rigged field that is set against everybody.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and listen, I think the further you are away from that immigrant mentality, you know, and that I think the further you are away from that immigrant mentality, the more prone you are to falling into that. Because let me tell you something I have a daughter, I have a son and I speak to them both equally. I don't sugarcoat my shit for my daughter or anything. I mean, you know me, you know me, I'm not in danger of that. No, no, the other way, perhaps, that way, no for sure. And man, let me tell you something there's one thing that I, if I see them being like spoiled, right, I go look and there's two things in this house you're not going to be a fucking pussy, yeah, right. And spoiled, yeah, right. And they're kind of connected, right, yeah, totally. You, you better appreciate what you have and understand that you are. You know that you are how lucky you are to be in the circumstances you are. We're going to try to help and we're going to try to the whole, the whole situation, right, because again, there's there's one thing is helping and the other thing is well, everybody should be equal, right? Yeah, you know, hey, no, let's, let's get rid of the fancy house and the and the nice stuff and everything, and let's go live, let's go live in the hood just because we want to be. No, it's not. No, let's help people, and that's what. That's the part that I don't understand. How do we help people come? Again, you and I had conversations just the other day right about how do we help. You know, kids learn and we're we're breaking our heads trying to create some curriculum that's going to help people. Come up, give me the hand, let me drag you up. It's not, it's not. Oh no, I'm gonna put myself down to your level. Yeah, and we're all. No, let's help come. This is the light, this is the way. So that's.
Speaker 1:I think that's the difference right now between the republican party and the democratic party. Right? One thing is like hey, man, let's, let's go, let's get better, let's learn more, let's work harder. The other one is like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you're the bad guy, you're the rich guy, let's bring you down over here. Everybody I don't even know if it was. We put it on our Instagram. We got all kinds of crazy comments. That guy that says that food rationing at a Kamala Harris convention. It is so crazy that it has to be fake, but I don't know if it's fake. I mean it looks real to me, right? Food rationing, these food price controls and food rationing would be good because it creates equity, right and equality and the whole situation it's. We need to starve people so that everybody's, everybody's, the same. That is the mentality that we're like, you know, like like elon musk calls it the woke mind mentality, right? I mean, it's just the woke mind of virus, the woke. So look.
Speaker 2:The only way that you can think that poorly is to have been exposed to academia for the first 20 plus years of your life. The only people that can think like that are academics, because they're not really forced to live in the real world like the rest of us. They have a fairly risk-averse job that gives them relatively guaranteed. They're not going to sit here and talk about how hard they have in their fight for whatever you know, if you stay in the rails, you take and take the tests, you pass the tests. It's not a high-risk business to be in. And look, my brother's an academic. I have respect for what they do, for those that go out there and teach folks how to think. They teach them the tools. They don't tell them what to think, but how to think. But the idea that somehow people are made better by just giving them things has been disproved through the history of the world time and time again, even Martin Luther. So not Martin Luther King, martin Luther, all right.
Speaker 1:He said the biggest, the person Martin Luther King was named after. Correct that guy Right.
Speaker 2:This guy, martin Luther, said one of the hardest things they had to do was to distinguish between the deserving and undeserving, poor Right. So who needed what help and how to give it to them in a way that helped them to help themselves. So we want to take, and one of the guys that tried to figure this out was Andrew Carnegie. Andrew Carnegie gave away almost his entire fortune, but to largely two things Church organs, and the reason why is because back in the day that was the only place where people could hear music, right, and he thought music was important for the development of the human soul. I mean, if you'd never heard, there was no radio or whatever. This was, the music is a good thing.
Speaker 2:And libraries, he said even any of his plants. Wherever he had there was always a library. Because if anybody that worked for him wanted to take and make away from themselves, he wanted to give them a path to go get everything they needed. And so I think that mindset and what he said was actually there's nothing. The only thing worse than dying with all your money is giving your money away the wrong way Right Giving it just giving it to people Poison right, it could turn into poison literally.
Speaker 1:You're doing that to it actually harms you.
Speaker 2:You're like you're doing it to make you feel good, but it harms the person you're helping.
Speaker 1:Some of the most fucked up people I've met in my life have been extremely rich. Oh, totally Wealthy People that grew up extremely wealthy, that is just. I would even consider it worse than growing up poor, and I know it sounds crazy and I know I'm gonna get a bunch of shit for it. I'm telling you because they grow up with no ambition, right, there's nothing, and that's why you know I'm, I'm this, I'm a guy who smoked pot a lot. Every once in a while I'll smoke a joint here and there, right, um the nothing. So I'm, you know, and again, I have a lot of friends that are in the marijuana industry and everything. So, sure, I I I feel weird, kind of like saying, oh, I would vote against it, you know, but, um, I'm not a fan, I'm not a fan of of kids having access to marijuana man yeah, until your brain's developing until you're 25 years old.
Speaker 1:Is that what you're saying? Is that what you're saying? Yeah, your brain's developing, developing until you're 25 years old, man, yeah, your brain's developing until you're 25 years old. Is that what you're saying? Is that what you're saying? Yeah, your brain's developing until you're 25 years old. It affects the development of the brain and what marijuana does in reality. That makes it very dangerous. I mean, look, cocaine, what are you going to have? Go have a big party. You're going to get all hyped up. The next day you're back.
Speaker 1:Marijuana is a daily you know, like that's usually what it comes into. Oh, I'm smoking weed every day. I'm smoking weed every day. It makes you reclusive. If you were an extrovert, it makes you an introvert, right, it just makes you lazy and it literally stood fat like fact. It takes away your ambition. That's that's the thing that. That eats my soul. It takes away your ambition. If you notice, you had five people, ten people, whatever. There's three potheads in there. Potheads are going to stay here. Yeah, right, and then you're gonna be like oh, but I know this guy because I know a couple of very, um, productive potheads. Sure, but they're like oh, I'm productive. Well, imagine where you would have been, yeah, if you weren't a fucking pothead, right? If you weren't smoking weed every day and this wasn't taken away. And you're taking a drug that's constantly chipping away at your ambition, which is probably the biggest talent you have, the most important thing you have, because look how successful you are with it. Imagine if we took that away.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean I think I know for me, like I work really, really hard, I mean I think you know me, An 11-hour day is pretty much run-of-the-mill for me. If I'm on the road, sometimes it's 15, 16 hours to get from one place to the other, whatever.
Speaker 1:Well, today's a good example. You've got three more meetings after this, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:And tomorrow I've got all day and then I've got to jump on a plane at 7.42. I get where I'm going at midnight. I'll be in my hotel by 1am and I got to go to go at 8am ready to go on stage. Yeah, now the story of my life. But, um, the the difference between being successful and unsuccessful is often just that choice to stay up and and answer one more email and to take on that one more project after work. Cause man, that couch, all the siren song of that couch man, and just take it and turn it on Netflix and and just relaxing I mean letting my mind.
Speaker 2:Netflix is awesome, except once again it's you know that that that drug, it's one more drug Right. And so I mean I can't tell you. This weekend I totally sat on the couch and just net, watched a lot of Netflix and and relax Cause I've been burning the candle at both ends, but I really am very careful at metering that out. If I had a little bit less in the tank, man, oh my.
Speaker 1:God, can I ever convince you to drink? That would be awesome.
Speaker 2:Wine kind of, at this point in time, wine Jesus Christ drink.
Speaker 1:I'm aware totally aware that wouldn't even convince you. I mean, it's all over the Bible and stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 2:One even convince you. I mean, it's all over the Bible and stuff. One glass of wine here's the thing. What do you think will happen? A couple of things. One, I'm afraid I'd like it, you'll definitely like it. Wine Do I really need the extra stuff in my life? And so you know, for me it's, I think, a person like you, just hear me out for a second. I'm willing to take the time to debate always.
Speaker 1:It'll. It's funny because they say alcohol is the only drug that you can openly try to convince somebody to do, and it looks like a complete piece of shit. If I were you I'd be like this is crack bro.
Speaker 2:Let's talk about crack for a second.
Speaker 1:Like dude, just try it, you're going to feel so good. You know crack, bro. Let's talk about crack for a second. Like dude, just try it, you're gonna feel so good. You know cocaine, whatever, etc. But, um, so, friday night, dude, you've busted your ass the whole time, right, or even? I mean I'm gonna do it better. You're dude, you've just finished. You did three days straight teaching, you're done.
Speaker 1:You're at the delta lounge, which I know you love, all right, oh, you sit there, get a little wine, sit down, the relaxation goes, I don't know, tenfold. I would say, you know. And again, listen, I'm not expecting to do the whiskey, I'm not expecting to do it, but wine. Let me tell you why. I think you'll like it. Because you can actually study it right and you could go. Imagine you you'll be a fucking somali in a year. You know what I mean. Like, like. That's why I think that you, the regions, and then you could add to the travels, and then, all of a sudden, I'm going to this area where this wine came from, and and I would think that that would be something that you could just for for the rest of your life, just become a fucking. I could see you going, you know, and I could just see you doing all of that and it'll just, it'll relax.
Speaker 1:Supposedly there was a study I don't know if you heard this a resident expert, a Jewish expert, over there. So I heard that the Hasidic Jews, they don't last too fucking long. They die pretty early because they don't drink, because there's never a. So, dude, no matter how hard my week is, no matter how hard my week is, I know that Friday, dude, I'm going to have a drink and nothing really matters. I mean, for that there's an exhale, yeah, yeah, of of you know what, dude a time blocked, unwind it is so if you add the let me turn this off of relaxation now, um, um, now it it.
Speaker 1:it turns my weekend into all right, dude, you know what? I don't really give a shit anymore, it's the weekend. I'm gonna forget about everything. You add all those hours of either stressed or not stressed, right Now, like straight up. Alcohol is kind of bad for you, though, right, like whiskey and all that stuff that kind of fucks you. Beer is actually the worst for your liver I don't know if you knew that because it makes your liver work the hardest to digest it right, to process it. Yeah, yeah so. But wine, supposedly, is good for the heart, good for this, good for that, the whole situation, so yeah, so if you had all those hours that you would have been stressed, versus now you're not stressed, right, like it just makes you live longer you know what I mean, and a lot of these wine regions and everything like that, people do live longer.
Speaker 1:Like Europe, you know, and as a whole, there's a lot of places that… I buy that. Like Europe, you know, and as a whole, there's a lot of places that.
Speaker 2:I buy that.
Speaker 1:Right, I buy that Want to have a drink.
Speaker 2:So I mean I think that there's a couple. Will you ever? You don't think you'll ever have a drink, maybe at some point, I don't know. I mean it's, I pride myself on it and it's a weird thing, right? I've always told you I believe in standards. I figure out what I want the end of my life to look like, like what I want them to be able to say about the guy they're putting in the box, and a lot of the choices that I make are actually based upon that, and one of the big ones is it's one of the reasons why I always answer my phone is I want to be the. If there's one person in the world you know that will answer their phone call. You're getting ready to be taken prisoner in Mexico and you got one phone call Mexico and you got one phone call.
Speaker 1:I want to be the person. I'm going to be there for you, right.
Speaker 2:I like it that my people can depend upon me like that, I like being that guy, and so if I was ever not available because of something that I did for myself like that, it would fly in the face of who I try.
Speaker 1:Right. So let me tell you a solution to that. I tell my realtors if you call me around five o'clock on a Friday, I'm going to answer, but I'm going to be probably going to be drunk. I'm not going to be drunk, and I really do say that. You know what I mean. Oh, I know you.
Speaker 2:I know you want to fucking answer, you know?
Speaker 1:So yeah, man, I mean it's. You know why I'm worried about the election, right? So we have the education system against us, right? We have the youth being literally indoctrinated into one side. Okay, we have the entire educational system against us.
Speaker 2:Fair to say, it seems like it yeah.
Speaker 1:Until Musk put his balls on the line and bought X? Right, we had the entire social media platform against us, right, that's a lot to go against. That's a lot, right, that's a lot to go against, sure you're? That's a lot. You're getting the youth and then you're getting the social media.
Speaker 1:Which zuckerberg did you see? Did you read his letter? He absolutely just admitted I felt the pressure. I'm basically said I felt the pressure they definitely pressured me into, into censoring stuff. I'm never gonna do it again. Right, that's basically what I got to it and the money I donated. I shouldn't have done that. I'm never gonna do it again. Right, that's basically what I got to it and the money I donated. I shouldn't have done that. I'm never gonna do it again. Right, that's basically the the, the gist of the letter. So you got to understand.
Speaker 1:So, so, um, you know, I I got a lot of people, I have a lot of friends that you know that fell into the whole social media push, right, that that he was, that he was discussing, and I'm like man, you're not upset that? You just got fucking played by a political party. I mean absolutely fucking played in one direction. Like you're not upset at all at that. I mean it's pretty crazy that we could have Facebook to a lot of people is everything right. I mean, it's the way they communicate, it's where they get their news, it's what their reality is, is where they learn stuff from. It's the whole situation. So, when you have a huge platform, worldwide platform like that, censoring information, I mean it's scary stuff. So that's what we're dealing with, right, we're dealing with we can't even get Trump protected correctly, because we have to have to have a five-foot lesbian protecting him. We just absolutely have to, because, hey, man, that's not fair, right? Are we running out of time? Yeah, we just have to absolutely have a five-foot lesbian protecting them, because if not, we're hurting somebody's feelings, right? So we can't even get that done now. Now, you know and I mentioned it the other day, but I didn't talk to you about it so this guy, tim Kennedy, right? Special forces guy, right? I mean, he operates a company now where it trains police officers trains.
Speaker 1:By the way, another thing that I'm going to mention, kamala Harris wants to eliminate police officers from schools. Did you see that, bart, right? So now, all of a sudden, our kids, where our kids are being indoctrinated? Now they don't even want to protect them anymore. What is going on with that? Like, why would you? And when I put that online, people are like, well, we shouldn't even need police officers, we have a bigger issue and we shouldn't need police officers at schools. 100% right, we shouldn't, but we do. We're here now, right, and there's an enormous mental health situation in our country. Absolutely, that's never going to be fixed until you know, big pharma gets fixed. Right, it is more, um, more profitable, makes more money, makes more sense monetarily. To keep somebody crazy, yeah, right, then to give them treatment. Just give them pills.
Speaker 1:Don't give them the treatment give them pills and keep some going, right, so, but again, back to that. We're, we're we're gonna get these kids that are out there helpless and we're're going to remove this last shooting that just happened right now, right, well, who's the one? It was the school security guard, right? What do you guys call it Resource officer? I've never heard that before. The resource officer. They don't call it a cop. He's a cop. Yeah, right, that's what I'm saying. But they call it a resource officer. Yeah, but they call it a resource officer. Is that a Georgia thing or is that a? Maybe it's a Georgia thing? He has his own office. You've heard that before. A resource officer. Yeah, how come? I never heard that before? Resource officer. And he has an office there and everything, okay. So he's the one who actually killed the guy, right? So you know how are we going to remove that. Imagine if that resource officer wasn't. I mean, it could have been 20, 30, 40, 50, who knows how many bullets did he have? That's how many would have died.
Speaker 2:I think that there's an interesting phenomenon that's going on right. I mean, I'm of the opinion largely Maybe I share some libertarian bent. For sure I love this country, I love how it is, and I just pick the one that's going to screw it up least in the next election cycle. I am very grateful for the inefficiency of government, its inability to change things rapidly and, unfortunately, the seizing of power that's gone on by especially the executive branch. Over time and every party has done more and more of this has made the government more able to through rules and things like that to make major changes.
Speaker 2:That typically, I think if the founder saw what was going on, they would be absolutely mortified that this stuff is not having to go through Congress and and have a vote of. You know that bureaucrats are passing these rules. Um, so everything. Establishment is counter to what the progressives want to do. So if it exists, it's bad. Police officers are part of the establishment, so their presence is bad, it is harmful. Right, school is this place that they want to take kids and show them this like utopia of how it could be if we could just all live in this. You know, quasi-socialist experiment that it seems.
Speaker 1:Yeah it's all about not hurting people's feelings. So a police officer or a resource officer, whatever you call it nowadays, hurts people's feelings and it might make them hurts people's feelings and it might make them. So I went to a school, um, high level um school, and like a, it's a, it's a boarding school, one of the best schools in the country. Am I going to name the name? But? Um, to get a tour of the school. Um, and they had when I know they have it here in florida too um, I'll give another story on that um, they had a safe room where a kid can, I guess, go in there and be gay and cry and not get their feelings hurt, right, it's literally called a safe room, right, and that's where the kid again gets, you know, has his little feelings hurt or whatever. Could go in there and cry, right.
Speaker 2:So I heard a story and I think you're going to like this. This guy's one of the most successful insurance guys, wealth planner guys, and he was talking to me and he was telling me a story that when he was like six, seven years old, there was this kid that used to beat him up, like this nine-year-old that would beat him up every day, and he was really good if he could stay standing up, like this nine-year-old that would beat him up every day, and he was really good if he could stay standing up. But if he got on the ground he was in trouble, right. And so his father, would you know, tell him hey, look, this is how you got to fight the kid and whatever else, right. So one day he's almost home and this kid catches up to him and starts beating the crap out of him and his parents drive up, they parked the car and he's like, yeah, my parents are going to come get me. They step over the two boys fighting, go in the house and leave them there to fight Perfect.
Speaker 1:Great parenting, I'm not kidding. Yeah, no, I know I know this is right in your wheelhouse.
Speaker 2:So years later, you know now he's successful, he's done a lot of stuff. He goes to his mother his mother's older. He says to her, you know what happened. She said look, I remember that day to this day, your father and I went in the bedroom and we cried our eyes out that we had to let you go through that. But the reality of it is it was your fight. You had to win it. You had to learn to fight or lose it or lose it and learn how to hate losing. And you know like, find a way around it. Look, you can't build muscles by sitting on the couch, right, you have to take and tear it down. You have to hone it. You have to hone yourself in fire, right. And when we take and insulate kids from every little adversity, they don't have any capacity to deal with what life is really like. Parents that do this frankly are preparing their kids for a really, really bad future where they're not prepared to handle it. Oh, they'll figure it out when they're in their 40s Come on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and Jordan Peterson puts it the best. I mean I'm going to screw it up, but just to paraphrase it, he's basically like no man. A man should be a monster, a monster. Now, that doesn't mean that monster's out there to hurt people or anything like that, but he should have the ability. Formidable, formidable. He should have the ability to destroy that other man. Right, he should have the ability. It's that old saying, right, other man, right, he should have the ability. It's that old saying right, I'd rather be a gardener, I'd rather be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war. I'd rather be a warrior in a garden than a gardener. So again, I'd rather be the guy that could, just an absolute killer in a garden. Okay, I don't need, I'm a gardener, I'm an absolute killer. But I am here with my flowers, no problem, different than a flower, a florist or a little gardener in a war.
Speaker 2:Right, where he can't defend himself.
Speaker 2:One requires internal capacity, right, and that's really the thing that we need to do, and especially for our boys. Our boys have been left behind so badly because we aren't letting them build in the internal capacity of seeing themselves persevere through hard things. I've always said similar to what you're saying warrior poet. That's who I want to be. I want to be a man for all seasons. What do you need? Put me in coach. You need a guy to stand back to back with you in the foxhole. I'm a good guy. I'll always. If you stand next to me, you'll never stand alone. You want somebody to sit here and discuss philosophy with you. I'm happy to do that all day, and so you know.
Speaker 2:That's what we should be trying to help people to be, as opposed to taking and trying to bring our boys down to be like girls, our girls to be more like boys. Why is it that everything male is now criminal type behavior? Boys being boys, having energy, being rambunctious, want to go out and play, wanting to play war, wanting to take and wrestle with each other. This is all boys being boys trying to take my bulldog. I have a boy bulldog. He wants to wrestle with dad. He goes at it and that's in the wiring right, and it's funny because you know.
Speaker 1:So again back to this Jordan Peterson wiring, right? No, and it's funny because you know. So again back to this Jordan Peterson thing, right? So he says look, you know, people should be absolute monsters, you know, but you should have the self-control. You're a monster that decides not to use it. And it's a funny story. So you know, anybody who knows, you know how I grow, how I raise my kids, but my son in particular. He has been doing martial arts since he could walk, I mean literally taekwondo since he was a kid. Boxing since, literally I have pictures of him barely out of the stroller throwing punches and everything like that has what I don't know, 2,500 jiu-jitsu Wrestling matches, maybe 400 jiu-jitsu uh wrestling matches, maybe 400 jiu-jitsu fights, I mean.
Speaker 1:So a funny story is that he uh, loves sweets. Man, this guy, I mean there's like there's. I mean he's a chocolate guy. I mean, listen, man, there's one thing you know, like chalk you want to take, you want to get him pissed off. You know, take away his, his chocolate, take away his sweets or anything. You want to punish him, that's what you take. You know, take away his chocolate, take away his sweets or anything, you want to punish him, that's what you take away. You don't take away phones, it doesn't matter, no, video games, just take away his sweets. You got a problem with this guy.
Speaker 1:So I pick him up. I pick him up from school, in there, and he's like, oh, somebody tried to bully me today. I'm like, really, no shit. He's like, yeah, he tried to take my chocolate away. And I'm like, oh, so what happened, you know? So the kid comes up and goes, hey, let me get your chocolate. And he's like, no, I'll give you my chocolate. And the kid the kid, uh, you know, says it again. He, he gave me your chocolate, you know. And and my, my son, stands up and he goes, hey, I'm not giving you my chocolate, man, you got a problem with that.
Speaker 1:And the guy just looks and goes away like I would listen, I don't want, I don't want it to happen again. I gotta give you the responsible answer, right, but if that guy would have reached over and gotten that fucking chocolate I mean the it would not have done. Well, the absolute ass whooping. But again, the self-control, yeah, of saying no, man, you know what? I'm gonna give you two warnings here. You, buddy, you're not gonna take my chocolate. Nothing in this world, especially my chocolate, maybe my book, my book bag, my fucking chocolate you're never gonna get. I mean that, um, the self-control, the, the fact that he is an absolute killer, right, and the fact that he could absolutely, within 15 seconds, arm drag into a rear naked, choke, game over within 15 seconds. That kid cannot breathe right and he chose not to do it. It's exactly the way. What?
Speaker 2:you want, that's exactly it.
Speaker 1:It's what you want. It's what we want from society. It's what we want. This is not about hurting people. This is not about it's none of that. It's about you know, let's be the best we can be Right, let's and let's exercise control.
Speaker 2:Let's stand up for what the right thing is and the right thing, and giving people the capacity, the ability to sit there and say, no, taking what I have is wrong and I'm not going to let you do that. And if they were about to do to somebody else, being able to step in the middle and say you're not going to do that on my watch, yeah Right. And and having that capacity, the ability to fight injustice, and having the courage, because that's what it is the courage when the, when the chips are down, when things get hard, that comes and especially for guys, from having gone through stuff. You don't get that capacity from, just it doesn't magically appear, and that's why I love sports too.
Speaker 1:And I know that you didn't really grow up. It has to do with your dad being an older guy and the whole situation, right. But, bro, your mentality is just a sports mentality. Like you would have fucking excelled. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2:No, I did.
Speaker 1:Whenever I played, I always did oh you did play sports.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I played football. Oh, you did. Okay, I didn't know. So yeah, because what I call sports is synthetic adversity. Yeah, the brain back to that coddling of the human mind. Or I forgot one book that I've seen videos on, I've seen clips. I'm going to fucking read it. I haven't read it yet, but one of the things that one of the highlights that it says is that the brain needs adversity to develop. Absolutely, the human brain, the growing brain, needs adversity to develop.
Speaker 1:But here's the thing we live in a world where there's not much adversity around, right? So when I grew up, there was real adversity. You know, like I had fights in school because I was wearing the same fucking clothes every day. My shoes had holes in them. You know, people were, people would make fun of you. You know that, that type of stuff. So my adversity was dude, I, I had to fight.
Speaker 1:I went to a school where I I tell my son all the time like I don't remember a time going to school where I wasn't worried about getting in a fight. I don't remember a day of school going there and saying, well, today I'm for sure not going to get in a fight. Every day was a fucking problem, right? So my kids are not my kids. I tell them, like again, you know, I speak to my kids just the way I speak to my friends. I go, you guys live in a fucking fantasy land. You guys live in a fantasy land. Your life is. I couldn't even imagine what.
Speaker 1:But I tell you what they have a shitload of what I call synthetic adversity. My kids cry on a regular basis, right, I've seen my son sit there and cry for hours because he lost a big tournament. My daughter, same thing, had a bad game, had a bad practice. You know, losing, winning, all of that stuff that's synthetic hard work. I worked my ass off and I won. Yeah, I worked my ass off and I lost, right, I mean, I worked my ass off and I made one mistake, one mistake and I lost Yep.
Speaker 1:I can't make mistakes. Yep, right, I got to go back to the drawing board and I got to make sure, or that I'm so good that I could make mistakes and I'm still going to win, right, all of that stuff, that sports for a child that has a good life, I mean, listen, if you're growing up, poor guys there's plenty, don't even worry about it. You don't need the synthetic part.
Speaker 2:There's real ones.
Speaker 1:Naturally provided part. Yeah, there's real ones. Naturally, naturally provided. Those Haitians that are stealing cats over there in Ohio, guys, don't worry about it, you guys get real adversity there. But, but, the, but, the but, the uh, by the way, I all jokes. I love, I love Haitian people. Hard-working people are. I don't know why. They're either security guards or nurses. That's what they like to do when they get to this country. That's fucking amazing, like those are the two professions. I haven't figured out why. I had plenty ofitian friends and they're hard-working people, great people. They come. They come here with the aside from the stealing cats part, which I find the fucking hilarious. They're hard-working, they come here with the immigrant mentality, absolutely, and they get right to work. They get those guys, man, they get. They come here from that absolute shithole that they come from and they appreciate every second of being here, great, great people. But, um, I lost track with that, with the, with the haitian talk, I don't know where I was going with it, but either your kids, the, the, the oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So. So, yeah, listen, man, you know there's no, no, I, I don't find I don't know any other way to teach kids about life. Right, and and and and, then putting them through that synthetic adversity. High level sports and not the. Oh, I'm going to take Timmy to, you know, soccer practice and see what happens. No, no, no, let's try to make Timmy the best soccer player ever. Yeah, right, and let's see where that journey takes you. It's not about, oh, let me see what I get from the. You know, I get from what I hear all the time. Well, I'm going to see if he likes it. Motherfucker, what the? Does he like brushing his teeth? Yeah, right, does he? Oh, it's too hard. And no, he cried because it was too hard and it was hot and everything like that. Good, right, you're teaching him about life. How much time I got left, okay?
Speaker 2:So yeah, man, I'll. I mean, when I played sports there was quite a bit of that and obviously I don't fit the demographic that you normally see on a football team in southeast Florida, so I never imagined you played football.
Speaker 2:You might have told me that Actually I was pretty fast and so I was able to take and make up for it. But I also practice harder than anybody. I was there before everybody and I leapt after everybody every single day and it was hard to break the field, get on the field even and get a shot just because I didn't, you know, fit the stereotype. Well, what do you mean? I'm just kidding. You know exactly what I mean and you know what I did. I did pretty well, but going to the gym was always that for me, you know, because you get up against the edge of yourself where you're like I can't do any more, let's do one more anyway right.
Speaker 2:Let's see, and so you know, finding out, pushing yourself beyond the edges.
Speaker 1:You were an actual bodybuilder for a while.
Speaker 2:I was a powerlifter first, and then I was a bodybuilder, and so a powerlifter you got pictures of you in your bodybuilding days.
Speaker 1:I might have one somewhere around there. Can you send it so we can kind of put it on the come on dude.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, I can. I can probably maybe find someone.
Speaker 1:Yeah, go on. Oh, you got to find it. Yeah, I'll find one for you, yeah.
Speaker 2:And you were a ballroom dancer too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, that was another way. It wasn't a bodybuilder Cadillac dancing, was it? It was skinnier, yeah, so you were a bodybuilder ballroom dancer at some point, at some point it was great extra cardio. You know, you're always taking and a uh, it was at a Lomachenko. I think it was Lomachenko, uh, a great boxer. Um, the dad wasn't happy with the, with the um, with his footwork. He quit boxing for like two years and just the dancing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then came back. Get your weight where it needs to be. It's a thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I always threaten my son. I'm like, oh, you want to complain about something. I'm like, yeah, you know what? Fuck that I'll put you in the ballet. You know what I mean. So I was threatening him with that. He didn't like it. So, yeah, I mean kind of like we talked about a lot of stuff, Any of my notes?
Speaker 2:First time I take notes, so let me see. Uh, no, I think I covered everything, man, you got it.
Speaker 1:You had any notes, any notes on on on your end? No, I mean, uh, we're just talking about all the normal real estate stuff, that's going on, but all right, books you want to. Let's promote. Uh uh, you are a best-selling author. I mean, I don't know if you know that we're working my way toward it.
Speaker 2:Uh close, uh close. For life is is the book that's out. I'm working on a new book project right now that is going to be called Success for Life and that's in the works. We're going to really try to take and get stories from some really successful people.
Speaker 1:Plus our book project that if we ever get off the ground, that is Success for Life.
Speaker 2:Oh, that is for okay, okay, and so that's going to be where we look at the stories and kind of try to isolate the things, because not everyone needs the same thing. You know what I mean? Yeah, some people like they don't need vitamin C because their diet naturally has it, but they're low on vitamin A, right.
Speaker 1:And so I think, looking at different people's stories and figuring out what that so we had a sports psychologist on the podcast last week and every time I ask him like about, you know, you know how? About how, about for this person or that you know that type of athlete, that type of? Well, it depends. Certain different things work for different people and I'm like I got I almost got tired. I'm like dude, you need a fucking answer here. He's like it had two examples of two different, two very high-level athletes, right, One of them at practice. If he lost at practice wouldn't make a difference, like he would actually go to practice with the intent of trying things out that would make him lose at practice and didn't matter. When it came to competition he would win. Then there was another athlete, again very high level, almost equal, right. If he had one loss at practice, his fucking world would end. He would go home crying and it's like, literally, the world ended for one mistake.
Speaker 1:So, both of them, it worked for them. Both of them high-level athletes. Both of them just completely different.
Speaker 2:I think the best sports psychologist I could quote is Mr Joe Torre, who had to manage some incredibly ridiculous personalities on those Yankee teams and he said this was his take some players need a pat on the ass and some people need a kick in the ass. And so, like A-Rod, he would say famously, he was a player that needed a pat on the ass. He was always the guy that you needed to tell him you were doing good. He needed to hear that Jeter was you know. The other way. Jeter wanted the you know A. What do you? You know?
Speaker 1:more. And so it's crazy. Athletes are different, minds are different.
Speaker 2:Well, sure, but I mean, that's kind of the crazy thing. Right, you and I have both found a way to be highly productive, and that's a mental game we play with ourselves. I need negative energy.
Speaker 1:Oh, absolutely. If anybody's listening to this, please continue to send fucked up shit through the Instagram DM. I absolutely need negative energy to function Like.
Speaker 1:I need people telling me I can't do it. I need people insulting me. I mean, that's my motivation, I really. So, please, guys. All right, and I welcome the anti-Semitic stuff. It keeps Ethan on his toes over there, all right. So continue to do all of that stuff. I mean, send everything Racist stuff, talk shit about Cubans. Whatever you got to do, just continue with the negative shit. On the end, I find it fascinating that A, you have time to do that, yeah, all right, and that your fucking lives are so goddamn negative that you're going to just that's what you do. You wake up in the morning and you write negative shit. It is fascinating, so please continue to do it. But, yeah, everybody's different man, are you a pat on the ass or a kick in the ass? What are you? I don't know. I don't think you have anybody time to get.
Speaker 2:There's not many people that give me a kick in the ass.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm saying. You kick your own ass.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, I do really, I mean, I think it's. I will say that since you and I started working together, I've gotten a lot of things done just because you've asked me to, and you know.
Speaker 1:I want to take and come through for you.
Speaker 2:So maybe that makes me a pat on the ass guy. I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1:I mean, I don't know. Well, I think we're going to go into a cool chapter now. I think that the conversation, the meeting we had last of them, I'm kind of stuck. Whatever I need your help on, but there's a couple things that we're working on right now that are pretty exciting, but the one that we had meeting we had last week. I mean that takes us into a whole different galaxy, absolutely you know what I mean Could really change the world and help people.
Speaker 1:Literally, it could change the state right away. Yeah, they could change the state right away. Yeah, the state right away, because that's where we're going to start. So it's going to be cool, I agree. All right, kyle. I think we're literally out of time. Yeah right, 30 seconds or something. Yeah, all right, cool. Love you, brother. Thank you, man.
Speaker 2:Right back at you, bro.
Speaker 1:I think I forgot to put the odorant on. Yeah, right, yeah leave it on all right and now all right, gentlemen, I have to uh hit the road? Did we insult enough people on this or what?
Speaker 2:that was great yo, I think we got everybody hey again now that the cameras are kind of off.
Speaker 1:I could like. I say it completely. I think we got everybody. Hey, again, now that the cameras are kind of off, I can say it completely. Are the cameras off? Yeah, yeah, dude, the black guy that complains now about being fucking held down or whatever be a fucking Jew for one day. The amount of fucked up shit that dude.
