1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: What should the effects on our economy be with the organized,

2
00:00:05,919 --> 00:00:09,599
well funded riots and political violence? What is it? What

3
00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:14,080
should it be? And now the war between Iran and Israel.

4
00:00:14,199 --> 00:00:17,679
If we go into this and commit to this, what

5
00:00:17,879 --> 00:00:20,000
will be or could be or should be the effects

6
00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:22,559
on energy prices? Who better to talk about that than

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,239
Zach Abraham, who about twelve years ago started Bulwark Capital

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,199
Management with his wife. And I was looking at one

9
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:32,399
of his posts, remembering what it was like, and Zach

10
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:36,000
talked about two things you must do to be successful

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,159
from twelve million in assets under management to eighty eight

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,840
hundred and fifty million. What are those two things? We'll

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,159
talk about that with my friend and brother, Zach Abraham.

00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:36,040
my brother.

26
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,159
Speaker 4: Good to be here. I mean, I'd rather be down there.

27
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: There's something the workplace, something to be said for it

28
00:01:44,519 --> 00:01:46,200
isn't there there? Sure is?

29
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 4: They're sure is. We had a good time down there.

30
00:01:48,319 --> 00:01:51,719
Speaker 1: Yeah we did. I I was down there doing showprep,

31
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:54,040
you know, because showprep never ends for me. And I

32
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,439
was looking at what the Mexican people were saying about

33
00:01:56,439 --> 00:02:00,599
the riots in the United States, and they were not

34
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,120
happy to see their countrymen being tagged with this. We

35
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,560
recognize these types from down here. We don't want them here.

36
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,400
The United stateshouldn't want them there all over their president

37
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:13,879
because she said she's thinking about retaking the American Southwest.

38
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:16,719
And there are a lot of posts saying you're gonna

39
00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:21,360
regret that, your lack of diplomatic attention and love, et cetera.

40
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:24,280
And I talked to some people down there about this,

41
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,280
about what they were seeing, and they'd said, the United States,

42
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:29,199
you better be careful. These are the people who destabilized

43
00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:34,599
countries and you. One of our common friends, Brandy Cruz,

44
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,560
who's an independent journalist. She got slapped around by Antifa

45
00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:40,360
up there.

46
00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:43,039
Speaker 4: I mean you saw that, right, Yeah, she got sprayed

47
00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:46,560
in the face with bugspray too, Yeah, like in her

48
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,520
eyes and yeah, men like trying to get physical with her.

49
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:52,960
It's really disturbing.

50
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: Is it hard for you to watch that and not

51
00:02:54,599 --> 00:02:56,560
want to jump in and be fleshly?

52
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 4: Yes? Oh, I know. I told her that, and I

53
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,759
said that it's and I've talked to you know, I

54
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,199
played college football, and me and a bunch of my

55
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,520
college football place talked about it, just saying, there is

56
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:12,199
that flesh side of you that wants to put like

57
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,520
ten to fifteen guys together and just go rolling through

58
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,680
that crowd and just start because I and here's I'm

59
00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:21,280
not a violent person. I never have been. Yeah, but

60
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,360
when you see the way that they're treating women, when

61
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,639
you see the way they're treating police officers, what I

62
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,879
see are a bunch of kids that never got punched

63
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:35,120
in the face. And so my attitude is, let us

64
00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:35,879
do you a solid.

65
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: We're going to rectify one to rectify.

66
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're gonna rectify that situation. Yeah, and uh, we're

67
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:46,400
going to learn you good. And you know, and just

68
00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:50,199
watching the way they act to like law enforcement. You know,

69
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,879
it's just it's shocking. You can't do that. And you

70
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,719
sit there and look at these people, you know, getting

71
00:03:55,759 --> 00:03:58,560
in front of cars, and you're like, has anybody ever

72
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,120
taught you like how all this works? That it doesn't

73
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:05,280
mean that you're in an oppressive police state. If you

74
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,159
acted port of law enforcement officer like that at any

75
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:10,919
point over the last hundred years or since the country

76
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,560
was founded, you were taking your life into your own hands.

77
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,240
That's not new, right, right. Police acted more restraint than

78
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,360
they ever have, and their handcuffed.

79
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: I saw some footage some friend of mine, some friends

80
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,360
of mine, were researching Antifa from a operational perspective, and

81
00:04:30,879 --> 00:04:32,920
they were doing this for a security company. They were

82
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,879
retired seals and there were three of them and they

83
00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:39,480
were in downtown Seattle watching some stuff go on, and

84
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,600
they were the Antifa guys, and they had their stupid

85
00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:44,480
ski helmets on and their goggles. And this is during

86
00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:47,759
some of the riots. And some kid came walking by

87
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,240
and these goons took his skateboard, just just to be jerks,

88
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,759
took his skateboard, and so one of my friends, who

89
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,519
was well, he lost his life. But don't worry. He

90
00:04:59,519 --> 00:05:02,800
wasn't in Russia because we don't have contractors in Russia.

91
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:09,240
So and I'm talking about tall and imposing and tatted,

92
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,480
and he's sitting in the front seat and he goes

93
00:05:11,959 --> 00:05:14,839
and forgive my language, yes, oh hell no, and he's like,

94
00:05:14,879 --> 00:05:17,439
he blows the cover. He pops out, and he goes

95
00:05:17,439 --> 00:05:19,319
walking across the street and there's the Antifa and the

96
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,639
ski hemmets and Mark's walking up to him, goes.

97
00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 4: He like the ski. Hey, you like to ski.

98
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: I like to ski too, Look at your ski helmets. No,

99
00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:30,439
don't take him off. It's come over. Slap him on

100
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,839
the side of the head. You like skiing, man, I

101
00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:35,920
love skiing. And they're looking at this six foot three

102
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:42,560
inch wiry like tatted, you know, vascular, muscular, crazy man.

103
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,639
Give him back his skateboard. Give him back his skateboard.

104
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:48,720
Tell him you're sorry, because I love I like to

105
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:49,920
take that ski helmet off you.

106
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 2: You.

107
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,199
Speaker 1: Let's take that off you.

108
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:51,199
Speaker 2: You.

109
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: And he goes back and he's shaking with rage what

110
00:05:55,959 --> 00:05:58,560
they did. And those kids have no they have no

111
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,120
blooming idea how lucky they were. They didn't try to

112
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,120
get physical with a guy like that, and I know

113
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,720
what you're talking about, like and look, I'm a discipled

114
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,439
Christian turning the other cheek. But that's my friend. I mean,

115
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,839
we're not close friends, Brandon and I. We work together.

116
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,439
I consider her a friend. But Zach, if I was there,

117
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,040
I don't know that I have enough trust in the

118
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,879
Holy Spirit. I don't know that I'm ma sure enough

119
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,920
Christian to not have grabbed one of those guys and

120
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:26,800
not like a bunch, not over three times, but just

121
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,720
like maybe two or three curb stumps.

122
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,639
Speaker 4: Just I don't, I don't. I was thinking about the

123
00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:35,079
same thing. I don't think if I'd have been there,

124
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:38,480
I don't. I don't think I would have been able

125
00:06:38,519 --> 00:06:40,600
to restrain myself. I would have thrown at least a

126
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:41,279
couple of punches.

127
00:06:41,959 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: I just this is a one in a minute.

128
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,319
Speaker 4: Yeah no, and watching some of the way the men

129
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,600
were approb I wouldn't have been able to stand back.

130
00:06:49,079 --> 00:06:51,920
I just wouldn't have been able to. And quite honestly,

131
00:06:51,959 --> 00:06:56,600
that's why I've tried to avoid those those uh, those

132
00:06:56,639 --> 00:06:58,680
marches and those protests and stuff like that.

133
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: Well, if you know I've got you got something risk.

134
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,199
But I mean get to go visible thing done so

135
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,120
that you've got the corporate credit then go roll.

136
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that would be the way to do it.

137
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,399
Speaker 1: Okay, I want to talk about the economic aspect of

138
00:07:16,439 --> 00:07:18,319
this and what it is and what it should be.

139
00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:20,920
Let's do that a second. But you and I don't

140
00:07:20,959 --> 00:07:25,639
expect you to talk about results anything else because it's

141
00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:28,000
so early in your treatment. But you and I were

142
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,639
at Renew Healthcare together. You met Mike and his wife Jessica.

143
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,360
You met my dear friends Mark and Brandlin, and you

144
00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:38,480
got to meet my daughter, and you got to hang

145
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,360
out at dinner, and you had treatment, and you watch

146
00:07:41,439 --> 00:07:44,759
what they did at Renew, and you went down knees back,

147
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,160
et cetera. And from note I got from Mike, Mike

148
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,160
is a marine, twenty two years marine. And by the way,

149
00:07:52,199 --> 00:07:54,600
does dude look like a marine? Mike? What?

150
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 2: Yeah?

151
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,439
Speaker 4: I mean you could pick him out a crowd of

152
00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,519
two thousand people.

153
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: Right there's yeah, And I'm like, yeah, he was wearing

154
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,959
one day his marine corpse implified had him like, bro,

155
00:08:04,079 --> 00:08:08,959
you do not need that, right, everything screams marine. He's

156
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,079
he's like a week out of treatment and he's already

157
00:08:12,079 --> 00:08:13,839
going up and down the stairs without pain, and that's

158
00:08:13,879 --> 00:08:17,879
not always the case. But these stem cells from umbilical course,

159
00:08:17,879 --> 00:08:21,800
they just attack this, They attack the inflammation right away.

160
00:08:22,079 --> 00:08:24,240
They get into the rebuilding stage. I'm in the rebuilding

161
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,680
stage now and I did a deadlift complex the other

162
00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:31,120
day that would have had clicking going on. I would

163
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,279
have had a ton of pain on none of that,

164
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:35,679
and in fact, I chose to go forty pounds heavier

165
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,320
than I was supposed to go. None of that. What

166
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:42,480
was your just just take on renew just having been there,

167
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,120
I know that you're not. You know, you're like three

168
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:46,159
weeks out or two weeks out, but would you think

169
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:46,919
about the whole plus.

170
00:08:47,759 --> 00:08:50,279
Speaker 4: No, only like a week and a half out. So

171
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,240
I've been I've been surprised anytime I do things like that,

172
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,279
and I've never done anything quite like the renew, But

173
00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:00,679
anytime I do things like that, I try to temper

174
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,000
my expectations, you know what I mean, just because usually

175
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,600
the benefits are marginal. So far, I've been shocked just

176
00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:12,720
in terms of the like you mentioned, the inflammation, so

177
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,360
on a pain level, a comfort level. I was telling

178
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,759
you even on the flight back from Mexico, I didn't

179
00:09:17,919 --> 00:09:19,639
I didn't really think about it until we landed. And

180
00:09:19,639 --> 00:09:21,759
then I sat there and I went, when was the

181
00:09:21,799 --> 00:09:24,279
last time I took a plane flight of any distance

182
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,720
where I wasn't squirming in my chair needed to stand

183
00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:29,039
up for a little bit due to back discomfort. And

184
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,559
I sat there in the chair and I hadn't even

185
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,679
thought about it until we landed. And so and now

186
00:09:34,759 --> 00:09:37,039
I know that at that stage that's due to the

187
00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:41,840
reduction and inflammation. It isn't hasn't fixed the issue. But man,

188
00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:45,039
already again, I just wasn't expecting to feel the relief

189
00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:48,240
of that My knee hasn't bothered me since we've come back.

190
00:09:49,759 --> 00:09:52,960
I'm I'm really encouraged, and and you know, and and

191
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,039
and part of it, I didn't have any My symptoms

192
00:09:56,039 --> 00:09:59,519
were not really bad, they were not super painful. There

193
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,159
was nothing serious to fix. But like that new thing

194
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,399
I was telling you on workouts, it just I was

195
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,200
always compensating for it. I couldn't go as hard as

196
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,559
I wanted to do. I should I should be that

197
00:10:10,759 --> 00:10:13,679
that leg my left leg is actually weaker than my right,

198
00:10:13,759 --> 00:10:16,360
so I should be isolating it. I've never felt comfortable

199
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:19,200
to do that. Yeah, and uh, the pain is gone.

200
00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:21,799
And so I'm I'm I can't wait until we can

201
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:24,240
what am I? When can I start working out? What

202
00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:25,720
do I need? Another two weeks offer?

203
00:10:25,759 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: So they telled you something different than they told me.

204
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,159
They made me wait like like eight twelve weeks meetings.

205
00:10:31,399 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 4: Well, because you had a shoulder too.

206
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: It's the shoulder and back and all that. So yeah,

207
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,960
so yeah, I think that people are largely shocked as

208
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,759
well when they walk into the clink for the first time.

209
00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:44,440
They go, what this is Mexico?

210
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yea, yeah, I've never been in a medical

211
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:50,519
facility that nice. Yeah, that's a nice medical facility I've

212
00:10:50,519 --> 00:10:51,639
ever been in bart On.

213
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. And so guys, look, if you're dealing with pain

214
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,159
that's keeping you from doing what you love to do,

215
00:10:57,639 --> 00:10:59,960
and sure it's ain't gonna cover it. Just just know that.

216
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,279
Just know that. But you have to make this decision,

217
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,759
and you can't do this absent knowing what will cost.

218
00:11:05,919 --> 00:11:08,799
So go to renew dot Healthcare and tell them me

219
00:11:08,799 --> 00:11:10,440
a part of the Todd Herman Show family, They're going

220
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,720
to tell you what will cost, what the likelihood of

221
00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:15,039
success is, what they can do for you. Make the

222
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,679
decision based off of that, because what you're imagining is

223
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,039
probably not what it's going to cost, and then treat

224
00:11:21,039 --> 00:11:23,240
it like a vacation and treat it like the place

225
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,200
that it is. Port of Arta is utterly beautiful. There's

226
00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:28,360
only one place I felt unsafe with my daughter. It

227
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:30,559
was nowhere near Port of Arta, and we were fine.

228
00:11:31,159 --> 00:11:33,039
It was a place that maybe we shouldn't have gone to,

229
00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:35,279
and thank god we had an escort. So go to

230
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,519
renew dot Healthcare. It's r E n U E dot

231
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:43,440
Healthcare are in ue dot Healthcare. So this can we

232
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,080
agree that this is all organized political violence and funded?

233
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,399
Speaker 4: I yeah, I mean I think all the hallmarks point

234
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,039
that way. You go talk to the majority of the protesters,

235
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,000
most of them are not from that locale.

236
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, so what should be in a rational world? And

237
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,320
I know that our economy is not particularly rational, which

238
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,159
is why one of the reasons you do so well

239
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,799
is that you apply, you know, actual rational rules to investing.

240
00:12:09,399 --> 00:12:13,519
What should be the effect on economy where billion dollar

241
00:12:13,639 --> 00:12:18,279
companies and organizations are. This is from the data Republican

242
00:12:19,759 --> 00:12:22,600
data that she's put out showing the firm links between

243
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,840
these groups and these protests. So it's not we're not

244
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,200
guessing what should be the effect on an economy where

245
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,759
billion dollar companies are trying to tank the country culturally.

246
00:12:33,879 --> 00:12:37,039
Speaker 4: Man, that's as it's a tough one because you have

247
00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:39,000
to put it, and you have to put it in

248
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,759
context of what's going on on a budgetary scenario. So

249
00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:47,639
I kind of think you're in a place right now where,

250
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:53,399
barring exogenous shocks of some kind, I think the economy

251
00:12:53,399 --> 00:12:56,559
should continue to trundle along. And the reason why is

252
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,879
because you keep increasing government spending, right and so, now

253
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,679
does that mean the economy is truly organically growing, No,

254
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,399
But in terms of GDP, right, we've got to It's

255
00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:11,600
not a perfect scoreboard, but it's the only one we've got.

256
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,519
So in terms of economic expansion, you know, when you're

257
00:13:16,519 --> 00:13:20,919
increasing your deficit by another five hundred billion dollars, that

258
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,159
has a tendency to whitewash some things that yeah, and

259
00:13:25,159 --> 00:13:28,679
and so I I really think that the you know, uh,

260
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,679
the Fed's not pumping right now, but the government is

261
00:13:32,039 --> 00:13:35,360
continuing to ratchet up spending, and I just think that

262
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,879
that just kind of that kind of whitewashes over a

263
00:13:37,879 --> 00:13:40,519
lot of ills. And I think that that's so so

264
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,919
the the actual economic impact it should be something, right,

265
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,639
But the economy, we've got to You have an economy

266
00:13:49,639 --> 00:13:54,240
that's been hotwired effectively right through through FED through It

267
00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:57,039
started with the FED right after eight o nine and

268
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:02,799
then crazy enough. What the government is doing now is

269
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,039
you know, people give the FED a lot of garbage

270
00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:07,679
for it, but the FED, well, the way the FED

271
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,399
does is it's stimulus, but it's indirect because it doesn't

272
00:14:10,399 --> 00:14:13,440
get directly into the hands of the consumers. When governments

273
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,480
are increasing spending, that is a much more direct stimulus.

274
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,240
So you know, you're just Richard Fisher, who was formerly

275
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,600
on the fo MC, the Federal Open Markets Committee that

276
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,480
is responsible for making the majority of the Federal reserves

277
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,159
interest rate decisions. He came out now he's no longer

278
00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:33,679
on the FOMC, but he came out recently and said,

279
00:14:33,679 --> 00:14:36,320
we were the drug dealer. We kept the patient on

280
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:42,360
on opium, on heroin, right, and the US government now

281
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:43,679
is just assume that role.

282
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 5: So you know, I it's it seemed to me that

283
00:14:47,399 --> 00:14:50,000
in irrational world, if we were truly operating in a

284
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,960
rational economic sense without the sugar high or as you're saying,

285
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,919
that the mainlining of meth into the economy.

286
00:14:57,159 --> 00:14:59,399
Speaker 1: It would seem to me that you would see a

287
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:04,720
radical increase in savings, a reluctance to spend. My gosh,

288
00:15:04,799 --> 00:15:07,240
what's going on. Billion dollar companies are attempting to take

289
00:15:07,279 --> 00:15:11,000
our country down, maybe purchases of what people think are

290
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,039
the safe assets gold, silver, all that. Which of you said, Look,

291
00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:17,559
if if the world truly crashes economically, gold will be

292
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,320
good to throw at somebody. But other than that, I mean,

293
00:15:20,759 --> 00:15:26,759
let's talk about things you can use immediately, oil, food, water, ammunition, labor, right,

294
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,279
I mean, these are things you'd actually need, you know.

295
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 4: So you brought up You brought up a really good

296
00:15:32,759 --> 00:15:35,720
point there, Okay, So on the on the human behavioral

297
00:15:35,799 --> 00:15:39,600
side of it, if these things were taking place prior

298
00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:42,879
to eight oh nine, I definitely think that what you

299
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,879
see going on in the country could very well potentially

300
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,240
lead to recession because of the behavioral side of it, right,

301
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,799
it would. When you look at the chaos culturally going

302
00:15:52,799 --> 00:15:56,919
on and politically militarios, typically what people do in that

303
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,360
environment is they pull.

304
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,759
Speaker 1: Back, right gosh, why yeah, right right?

305
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 4: So so but that again, it's it's you know, that's

306
00:16:06,279 --> 00:16:09,639
why the behavioral side of economics is so important because

307
00:16:09,679 --> 00:16:12,480
what is the Federal Reserve and the US government done

308
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,919
for the last fifteen years. What they've done is they've

309
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:21,879
every type of combustion or potential combustion economically, they've drowned

310
00:16:21,919 --> 00:16:24,080
it out with a sea of printed dollars, right, and

311
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,320
so for fifteen years now, and put that in perspective,

312
00:16:28,879 --> 00:16:33,399
that's that's about thirty percent or about forty percent, thirty

313
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,679
thirty five forty percent of the average person's career span. Right,

314
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,559
So we're talking about a significant period of time where

315
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,799
you the right move to make investing was to fade

316
00:16:44,919 --> 00:16:48,960
every single geopolitical fear. When I say fade it, geopolitical

317
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,720
fear comes in, market gets knocked down, you buy the dip.

318
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: Right.

319
00:16:52,279 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 4: That's worked every single time, and it's worked. It's worked

320
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,799
not because everything's worked out so magically, which it kind

321
00:16:59,799 --> 00:17:03,720
of has. We've avoided worst case scenarios magically for quite

322
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:08,319
a while, you know, things spinning out of control, European

323
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,480
debt crisis, the shale pats going bust in twenty fifteen,

324
00:17:12,759 --> 00:17:14,799
we've been able to kind of dance through the rain

325
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:20,279
without getting wet. But it is the government spending covering

326
00:17:20,279 --> 00:17:23,759
that up. And if you were in normal times. Yes,

327
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,480
I think that is it is undeniable. To what level

328
00:17:26,519 --> 00:17:29,440
would it affect the economy, I'm not sure, but you

329
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,680
would definitely see a negative impact of what's currently going

330
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,400
on in a normal, non juiced environment.

331
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:35,839
Speaker 2: Right.

332
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,319
Speaker 1: And that's and that's what I'm talking about, That that

333
00:17:38,319 --> 00:17:40,599
that we've reached a point in our country. We're almost

334
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:46,640
there's this phrase in California riot season. Well, let's oh gosh,

335
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,559
it's June. Hey, you know, let's we should go down south. Sorry, no,

336
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,599
that's riot season. Let's get down there a little earlier,

337
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,279
like at the end of May, before riot season. I agree, honey,

338
00:17:56,519 --> 00:17:57,240
we'll go to see.

339
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 4: The commer jobs on my jobs for that. What do

340
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,920
you think college kids are doing these dings?

341
00:18:04,079 --> 00:18:04,279
Speaker 2: Right?

342
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:04,559
Speaker 4: I know?

343
00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: One hundred and fifty bucks a day plus expenses. It's

344
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,400
the Jim Rockford deal to go to go process. So,

345
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,920
speaking of Los Angeles, there is a way that we

346
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,599
us conservative Christians, that we can change Hollywood. This is

347
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,000
a cool, cool, cool thing, and it wouldn't happen if

348
00:18:21,039 --> 00:18:24,160
you didn't have a company that told great faith filled stories.

349
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,759
Angel Studios. Does this sound of freedom? I don't know

350
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,039
about you, but watching that was number one. It was chilling.

351
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,319
It was scary because I have a daughter thinking about

352
00:18:37,839 --> 00:18:43,319
God forbid. Can you imagine? It was affirming in faith,

353
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,759
God's children not for sale. And it felt good culturally

354
00:18:46,799 --> 00:18:49,640
because the powers that we tried to stop it. I

355
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,519
love the fact that they couldn't stop it. I happened

356
00:18:51,519 --> 00:18:53,559
to love Jim Cavizil in his work and his commitment

357
00:18:53,599 --> 00:18:56,279
to Christ Jesus. So I was worried that was this

358
00:18:56,319 --> 00:18:58,680
one hit wonder from Angel I mean, the chosen of

359
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,039
these other things. It's it's not. They just had a

360
00:19:01,079 --> 00:19:05,160
massive hit animated feature called The King of Kings that

361
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,599
tells the story of Jesus Christ through the story of

362
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,680
Charles Dickens telling his kid his work the Life of

363
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,559
Our Lord. That destroyed snow White in theaters. That was fun.

364
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,000
I enjoyed watching that because that lady who played snow

365
00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:19,480
White was so arrogant. Oh, I may be woke, but

366
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,319
people are still going to come and see and pay No,

367
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,279
they didn't. Now that movie's not out of theater, is

368
00:19:24,279 --> 00:19:25,599
now out of theaters. I'm going to give you a

369
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,279
chance to watch it, but I want you to join

370
00:19:27,319 --> 00:19:30,880
in an insurrection to Hollywood. An insurrection. Here's how this works.

371
00:19:31,319 --> 00:19:33,359
When you go to angel dot com slash todd, you

372
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,519
get to watch King of Kings, that animated feature immediately,

373
00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:40,119
you get to watch all their fan curated programs immediately.

374
00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:44,039
You get two free tickets to any of their theatrical releases,

375
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,799
and you get that as a premium Guild member. Plus,

376
00:19:46,839 --> 00:19:51,240
here's the insurrection part. Angel Studios trusts us so much

377
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,039
that we get to green light projects. As a million

378
00:19:55,039 --> 00:19:58,039
people or more joined this, our thumbs up, our thumbs down,

379
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,440
decide the stories that they accept, that they curate, they nurture,

380
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,359
they produce, they distribute, they promote. That's an insurrection. So

381
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,759
join the insurrection and get all these advantages. Go to

382
00:20:09,799 --> 00:20:13,440
angel dot com slash todd. That's Angel dot com slash todd.

383
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:14,839
And I'm sure i'll see you in the theaters as

384
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,319
we got our two free tickets, and we can make

385
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,759
fun of everybody who doesn't have them. And that's that's

386
00:20:18,799 --> 00:20:22,000
that's worth the price of admission. So where were you

387
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:23,880
when you woke up? Or I guess I don't know

388
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,319
where you were? Did you wake up? Did you go

389
00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:27,680
to bed when you when you saw Oh, Israel and

390
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,640
Iran are now on a full on shooting war.

391
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 2: Oh.

392
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 4: I mean I was probably sitting in front. It's hard

393
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,319
because we've been looking at that NonStop right right several days,

394
00:20:39,319 --> 00:20:41,359
but yeah, I mean right when it happened. I'm sure

395
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:42,880
I was aware of it within five minutes.

396
00:20:43,039 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I had not seen my wife in a

397
00:20:44,759 --> 00:20:47,519
long time. She had reconnected, kind of shut down digitally,

398
00:20:47,599 --> 00:20:50,079
and just had a lot to talk about. And so

399
00:20:50,279 --> 00:20:53,720
I woke up early, even early for me, like one

400
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,400
thirty in the morning, and boom, oh, okay, good, So

401
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,079
now this is going on now obviously of life is

402
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,240
the pre eminent concern. And then i'd heard and now

403
00:21:04,279 --> 00:21:05,960
I don't know if this is true, but apparently the

404
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,880
Bible says something about a war in the Middle East

405
00:21:08,079 --> 00:21:13,119
or an allegedly yeah, some are yeah, yeah, but written

406
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,079
by dead white men, well not necessarily white, but dead.

407
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,839
So you've got that. I looked at some of the

408
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,000
charts on oil and you and I were recording this

409
00:21:22,039 --> 00:21:24,359
early for Friday, so Wednesdays we're seeing to record this,

410
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,920
and oil, as I saw it, took a tank and

411
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,759
went way down. Even me, I'm a dummy. I look

412
00:21:32,759 --> 00:21:36,039
at that and say, by opportunity, But if this thing

413
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,880
expands the way it could and actually does take out

414
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,839
their nuclear program and their their their oil reserves, which

415
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,079
you always somehow we also somehow not bomb their oils,

416
00:21:46,279 --> 00:21:49,240
their oil production facilities, et cetera. What does this look

417
00:21:49,279 --> 00:21:51,119
like for energy costs?

418
00:21:52,079 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 4: So one of the things we've been laughing around about

419
00:21:55,519 --> 00:21:58,440
here recently is if if anybody is brave enough to

420
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:03,720
get on Twitter, which which I love. Twitter has been

421
00:22:03,759 --> 00:22:06,359
invaluable for our business and as a source of news

422
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,960
and research, and it's phenomenal. But one of the things

423
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,759
you have to endure is every time one of these

424
00:22:10,799 --> 00:22:15,119
new geopolitical event happens, everybody is instantly an expert, right, So, oh,

425
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,839
Iran's gonna cut the straight, He's gonna close the straights

426
00:22:17,839 --> 00:22:19,480
of horror moves, and dah dah, bah dah, and everybody's

427
00:22:19,519 --> 00:22:24,119
got a theory. This thing can go so many different ways. So,

428
00:22:24,799 --> 00:22:28,200
first of all, up until the point where Iran actually

429
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,160
does close the straits of horror moves, I think it's

430
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,599
a mistake to think that they're just going to do it,

431
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:38,240
for sure, And the reason why is because that is

432
00:22:38,279 --> 00:22:42,200
a big global disruption, and any assets that we're sending

433
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,359
to that area, it's only going to expedite their arrival

434
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:50,359
to that area. It's gonna only increase, it's going to

435
00:22:50,519 --> 00:22:55,079
increase the reason for everybody involved to want to put

436
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,319
the crack down on Iran. So in the current environment,

437
00:22:59,519 --> 00:23:02,920
our our posture on it is we would be surprised

438
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,200
if that happened. Now that that isn't the only thing

439
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,599
that needs to happen, though, to really affect the price

440
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:13,039
of oil. If you start really harassing those tankers, if

441
00:23:13,039 --> 00:23:15,920
you start shooting at them, if things like that. One

442
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,880
of the ways that it could really drive the price

443
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,839
of oil up is, you know, insurance companies might start saying, hey,

444
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,759
we're not gonna the insurance is no good. If you're

445
00:23:25,759 --> 00:23:28,880
in the straits of horror moves, We're gonna triple your premiums.

446
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,759
We're gonna do that. So there's a lot of different

447
00:23:31,759 --> 00:23:34,920
things that can affect it, and all of those things

448
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,920
could provide, you know, some pretty substantial upside to the

449
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,119
price of oil. Caveat on the other side of that

450
00:23:42,519 --> 00:23:44,880
is that it won't do the same thing to the

451
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,519
price of oil that it would have done twenty years ago, Okay,

452
00:23:48,079 --> 00:23:50,960
And the reason for that is when you look at

453
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,079
where the world gets its oil now it is. For instance,

454
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,640
the United States twenty years ago was not the world's

455
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,480
largest oil producer. It is now. So they don't have

456
00:24:01,079 --> 00:24:05,319
nearer the monopoly on oil that they once did. But

457
00:24:05,599 --> 00:24:08,960
could it have upside yes? Now. The one thing that

458
00:24:09,559 --> 00:24:13,799
and this is not a recommendation for anybody else at all,

459
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,480
And I'm not suggesting you do this, talk to a professional,

460
00:24:16,519 --> 00:24:19,880
all that kind of stuff. To us, the opportunity is

461
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,279
is that when you came into this issue, or when

462
00:24:22,279 --> 00:24:26,559
you came into this environment, both gold and nat gas

463
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,680
were trading at what we believe to be very close

464
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,279
to the bottoms of their ranges. And I could break.

465
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: Down why that is.

466
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,799
Speaker 4: But when you sit there and look at US shale,

467
00:24:35,839 --> 00:24:39,079
you look at the break even costs, you start dipping

468
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,200
below sixty bucks, and supply starts coming out of the market.

469
00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:45,920
It's just the way it's going to work, right, And

470
00:24:46,039 --> 00:24:50,319
so what you've then you go look at the price

471
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:56,400
of the underlying companies. And I wouldn't sit there and

472
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,640
say go load up on this stuff, but what I

473
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,759
would say is that when when you look at where

474
00:25:00,759 --> 00:25:02,880
the price of the commodities at, when you look at

475
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,839
what the price is. So many of these producers of

476
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,400
oil and that gas, especially in North America, are at

477
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,400
there's some really there's some really hit tractive buys out there,

478
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,079
at least for us and what we think on a

479
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,480
fundamental basis, So not going to give any names, I don't,

480
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,240
can't do that, but but yeah, there's some very attractive buys.

481
00:25:21,319 --> 00:25:25,039
The other reason why I like it is it's not

482
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,440
the kind of thing that anybody owns, right that these

483
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,160
are the kinds of things that people should be having

484
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,400
in their portfolio. And quite frankly, they're the kinds of

485
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,880
things that have driven our portfolio, our main our main

486
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:39,240
equity portfolio that makes up about oh probably firm wide

487
00:25:39,279 --> 00:25:42,359
about seventy five to eighty percent of our client's equity exposure.

488
00:25:43,319 --> 00:25:45,559
That portfolio is up fourteen percent year to date, and

489
00:25:46,279 --> 00:25:48,359
those energy companies have been a big proponent of it.

490
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: Well, I was going to call you later because you know,

491
00:25:50,559 --> 00:25:53,599
in addition to being your friends and on show partner,

492
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:55,599
use short or money for us. I want to go

493
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,920
one hundred percent in oil everything. And no, I just

494
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,319
saw this tweet from Jim Kramer. Oil will not be

495
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:02,880
going up.

496
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm gonna go put in a trade, right,

497
00:26:06,039 --> 00:26:06,880
Will going hard?

498
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,839
Speaker 1: Right, the whole firms going all oil baby just one day. Yeah,

499
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,599
well I'm kidding. I didn't see that from Kramer, but okay, okay,

500
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:15,960
I was gonna say, but you're like, but no, but

501
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:16,480
you bought that.

502
00:26:17,519 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh yeah, because he says ridiculous stuff all the time.

503
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,519
Speaker 1: That's so crazy.

504
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it really is. But you know, I feel like

505
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:30,319
to some degree, the entire world has been socially media mediaized, right,

506
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,559
Like it's all hot takes. So even people that say

507
00:26:33,559 --> 00:26:36,480
they're not doing it, they're doing and so you know,

508
00:26:36,599 --> 00:26:39,440
you that's why I just that's why I just warned.

509
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,079
Speaker 1: I saw. I saw a couple things in show prep.

510
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:49,359
One was a young person, I mean early twenties, and

511
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,680
she's in a car, of course, because these things have

512
00:26:51,759 --> 00:26:57,400
to be filming the car. She goes, Okay, okay. People

513
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:02,359
keep telling me, are founders, Our founders designed our system.

514
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:07,559
Our founders who had less education than the average twelve

515
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:13,079
year old. Are founders had no knowledge beyond a twelfth

516
00:27:13,079 --> 00:27:17,319
grade or probably a twelve year old's education. Are founders?

517
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,759
Don't tell me about our founders and their lack of.

518
00:27:21,759 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 4: Education what is she talking about?

519
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: I know, if you read.

520
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,279
Speaker 4: I know, the level of education those guys had compared

521
00:27:32,319 --> 00:27:34,839
to the average college graduate is embarrassing.

522
00:27:35,079 --> 00:27:38,039
Speaker 1: The Harvard Entrance Test, this is a viral thing that

523
00:27:38,039 --> 00:27:40,599
comes around from time to time from eighteen fifty six.

524
00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:43,119
Harvard doctorates can't pass it.

525
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,279
Speaker 4: Oh no, it's anybody, and this is the man. This

526
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,119
is the problem with removing shame from a society is

527
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,240
nobody's a shame to be stupid. You're an idiot. You

528
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,160
have no idea what you're talking about. I wouldn't hire

529
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,599
you to run a lemonade stand.

530
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: And you're talking about guys like you were talking about

531
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,200
their education. They were so well trained in Latin and

532
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,440
the trumference and rhetoric that they could take any Latin

533
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,799
based word and parson they never needed to see it before,

534
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,279
Like they could translate the Bible for gosh sake.

535
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,799
Speaker 4: Here's the other thing. I would like to look at

536
00:28:20,799 --> 00:28:22,440
her and go, what don't you like about what the

537
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,640
founders did? It's kind of like the No King's Rally.

538
00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:32,880
Has it escaped you? I just find it incredibly humorous.

539
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,119
The No King's Rally is being driven by the same

540
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:45,319
apparatus that appointed a non democratically elected person for president. Okay,

541
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,519
like the no, meanwhile accusing the guy that won the

542
00:28:49,599 --> 00:28:52,799
national popular vote. Whatever you think of Trump, the guy

543
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,720
wins the national popular vote and the electoral college, your

544
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:03,240
party selected somebody undem democratically after lying about the primary candidate,

545
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,519
and you think the king is on the other side, right,

546
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,759
and then they're like, he's doing this, he's doing that.

547
00:29:09,799 --> 00:29:12,079
And then you sit there and go, okay, so let's

548
00:29:12,079 --> 00:29:16,359
talk about your education. Do you understand what the constitutional

549
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,440
duty of the executive branches is to enforce existing federal law.

550
00:29:21,279 --> 00:29:24,799
If Trump does not do that, he is in violation

551
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,119
of the constitution. But you can't.

552
00:29:27,519 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: That's another form of kingship. No, but stee if that's

553
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,240
another form of kingship, because here's the people who run

554
00:29:32,319 --> 00:29:37,720
Joe Biden causing him to provide indulgences. So he just says, oh,

555
00:29:37,799 --> 00:29:39,279
you know what, we're just not going to check the

556
00:29:39,279 --> 00:29:41,359
immigration sat at these people. We're just going to bring

557
00:29:41,359 --> 00:29:43,079
in as many as possible. That's also kingly.

558
00:29:43,759 --> 00:29:47,119
Speaker 4: That's not just bread. It's bred in circuses, right, It's

559
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,839
what we refer to back in the Roman times is

560
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:49,920
bread and circus.

561
00:29:49,759 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: Right, and so that was one. The other one was this,

562
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:58,240
This was another TikToker again in the car. Okay, okay,

563
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,279
I see that American companies are very very concerned about

564
00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:08,000
what happens to their profits if they don't get to

565
00:30:08,119 --> 00:30:11,920
have this ability to kick the black and brown people out.

566
00:30:12,759 --> 00:30:15,400
Here's my question, why do you need profits?

567
00:30:17,799 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 4: And that's that's that's well for jobs for one, that's.

568
00:30:21,519 --> 00:30:24,559
Speaker 1: The what and why would I start a business if

569
00:30:24,559 --> 00:30:26,440
I don't get to have a profit. What is the profit?

570
00:30:26,519 --> 00:30:29,319
That's the part I get to keep that I don't

571
00:30:29,359 --> 00:30:33,119
pay Alex or Brianna or Spencer or rent or.

572
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,319
Speaker 4: Or how can can someone answer for me how kicking

573
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:44,319
brown and black people out of your country increases your profits,

574
00:30:46,279 --> 00:30:46,799
being that.

575
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,559
Speaker 1: They were here working illegally, a lot of them getting

576
00:30:48,559 --> 00:30:52,640
paid under wage. No, but the VIDIA did well, I

577
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,680
mean it did super well because she's.

578
00:30:54,839 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 4: Well that yeah, I mean that's because truth is enathma

579
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,839
now and and you just know, well.

580
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: Plus no TikTok from Shida is like, let's promote this stuff.

581
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh for sure.

582
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, all right, so you you promoted something

583
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,720
even probably you tweeted it, and I want to dig

584
00:31:12,759 --> 00:31:14,599
into this because I think people need to hear this

585
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,599
from you. So Zach and his wife started their funds

586
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,519
their firm about twelve years ago. He said, we had

587
00:31:20,559 --> 00:31:23,440
about a total of about twelve million of assets under management.

588
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,799
As of today, we make we manage just about eight

589
00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:29,000
hundred and fifty million, have nineteen employees. Two things you

590
00:31:29,119 --> 00:31:31,440
must learn to be successful. That's the start of the tweet,

591
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,160
and Zach explained the rest of it here in a second.

592
00:31:34,319 --> 00:31:37,079
And this is something for any young person to track

593
00:31:37,759 --> 00:31:41,400
to pay attention to, because they built this not in

594
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,640
the sunniest of times. They came out of some really

595
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,160
really difficult times to build this. So we'll talk about that.

596
00:31:48,079 --> 00:31:51,119
I am doing everything I can to avoid a biological

597
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,960
fate that befell my family, and I truly thought I'd

598
00:31:55,039 --> 00:31:58,039
made myself immune to this, really honestly, arrogantly thought so.

599
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,160
And that is because of all the crossfits I do.

600
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,880
And now I'm doing an increasing amount of crossfits, as

601
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,839
in six days a week of serious training in crossfits,

602
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,559
and have some big goals on that, so I'll share

603
00:32:12,559 --> 00:32:17,240
those later. And what this guy's programming for me is

604
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,400
a brutal He's a mean twenty four year old young man. Mean. Okay,

605
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,559
so he won the CrossFit Games last year, but what's

606
00:32:23,599 --> 00:32:26,960
he now? So I'm doing all this and I thought, okay,

607
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:29,599
I've made myself a mean to some things. I have

608
00:32:29,839 --> 00:32:34,000
insulin resistance and that is one of the hallmarks of

609
00:32:34,039 --> 00:32:36,039
someone who's going to be a type two diabetic. And

610
00:32:36,079 --> 00:32:38,720
that really surprised me. And it was sort of a

611
00:32:38,759 --> 00:32:42,160
slap upside the heads ego wise that hey, guess what, No,

612
00:32:42,279 --> 00:32:45,920
you're not immune and it's probably all your supplementation, you

613
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,119
all the meat you eat and the plants you don't

614
00:32:48,119 --> 00:32:51,799
eat that's caused this. Then I learned there's people in

615
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,000
far better shape than me, also in the community of CrossFit,

616
00:32:55,119 --> 00:32:58,039
also with insulin resistance, So okay, that sort of makes sense.

617
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,880
So yes, introducing more plants. But I don't want to wait.

618
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,039
And I have burbering breakthrough. This is from biopsimizers. And

619
00:33:06,119 --> 00:33:09,240
I had this and my arrogance was, Oh, I don't

620
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,240
need this, I'll just keep it in case we do

621
00:33:11,319 --> 00:33:14,160
ads for it. And when I knew I was going

622
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,960
to take my meeting with my doc and I sat

623
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,400
down and I showed this story. She said, yeah, no,

624
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,559
you need to take this like, what are you doing?

625
00:33:19,759 --> 00:33:22,000
You got this for free, so now I have to

626
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,039
buy it because that's my deal. I buy the products

627
00:33:24,079 --> 00:33:26,680
of the companies I work with, and Burbering Breakthrough helps

628
00:33:26,759 --> 00:33:30,480
balance your blood sugar. It helps make sugar intake into

629
00:33:30,519 --> 00:33:34,920
the muscles versus the fat cells. It neutralizes oxidative damage

630
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,200
from high blood glue close. It boosts energy well being.

631
00:33:38,559 --> 00:33:42,720
It increases myochondrial uncoupling, which is a fancy way to

632
00:33:42,759 --> 00:33:46,440
say it helps you burn more calories as heat. All

633
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,240
of this gets me off that roadmap to type two diabetes.

Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, yeah, so let me let me let me

654
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,159
let me pull it back just for a second. I

655
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:56,159
didn't put that tweet out as a brag whatsoever. I

656
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,199
put it out as an answer to so much bad

657
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:03,920
advice I see getting There's our society is filled with

658
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,880
so many frauds, right, whether we're talking about social media,

659
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,920
whether we're talking you know, TV, whatever it is, and

660
00:35:12,559 --> 00:35:15,199
everybody wants you to listen to them. They've got a method,

661
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,239
they've got a way. And and I've been asked so

662
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,400
many times by younger people, you know, how did you

663
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:21,880
get to where you are? How did it work? How

664
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,519
did you know? And so it kind of got me thinking,

665
00:35:24,559 --> 00:35:26,760
and we're going to start a new it's still going

666
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,239
to be put out under our normal podcast stuff, but

667
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,559
kind of a new like a second show almost where

668
00:35:34,159 --> 00:35:36,559
the first show we're going to have is with a

669
00:35:36,599 --> 00:35:40,400
mentor of mine that was actually a x NFL player,

670
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,599
that was a high school football coach of mine that's

671
00:35:43,639 --> 00:35:47,199
gone into an executive started a very successful executive coaching

672
00:35:47,199 --> 00:35:51,880
and I hate calling it. You know, what are the

673
00:35:52,199 --> 00:35:55,639
you know, inspirational speakers? What is that called? I mean,

674
00:35:55,639 --> 00:35:59,599
it's not inspirational motivational speakers. He's not a motivational speaker,

675
00:35:59,599 --> 00:36:01,119
but he kind of falls into that thing. It's more

676
00:36:01,119 --> 00:36:06,039
about organizing. Anyway, he really helped architect this and mentor

677
00:36:06,119 --> 00:36:09,960
me through it, and basically I just copied a lot

678
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,840
of what he did. Anyway, So I'm gonna be interviewing

679
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,280
him next week and then we're and then we're gonna

680
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,719
go down this line because I want to do a

681
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,920
show where if young people or even not young people,

682
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,719
people that are trying to restart their career in the

683
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,920
middle of what what does success really look like? What

684
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,280
does it really take? What are the practices from people

685
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,880
that have actually done it, not people that are trying

686
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:37,840
to sell you something, because it success looks very different

687
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:43,440
but it always leaves behind similar residues. Okay, right, first

688
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,480
and foremost, the first person I'll give or the first

689
00:36:47,519 --> 00:36:50,119
credit that I'll lay out is to God. To God.

690
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:50,519
Speaker 1: Uh.

691
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 4: The biggest change in our business came when when I

692
00:36:55,480 --> 00:37:01,000
admitted my own frailties and really turned over. I've been

693
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,800
a Christian my entire life, but really made my life

694
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,199
Christ centered right and really started including our business, our work,

695
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,840
putting putting Christ the head of all of it. And

696
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,039
then but then I put out that tweet, and the

697
00:37:15,079 --> 00:37:18,719
first one was I said, don't listen to quote unquote teachers. Okay,

698
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,280
there's all of these people out there telling you hire me.

699
00:37:22,559 --> 00:37:24,719
I'm going to show you the way. I'm going to

700
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,159
show you the shortcut. Here's the deal. The minute somebody

701
00:37:28,159 --> 00:37:31,440
starts like that, immediately disregard anything they're saying and look

702
00:37:31,519 --> 00:37:34,079
somewhere else. If they were that good at it and

703
00:37:34,119 --> 00:37:36,920
knew the way, they wouldn't be trying to sell sell

704
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,760
themselves as a teacher. They'd be a practitioner because practitioners

705
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,079
make a lot more than teachers, Okay, especially in my business. Right,

706
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,119
And so just want you know, just as a warning, like,

707
00:37:47,159 --> 00:37:49,239
there is no shortcut if you're looking for the shortcut,

708
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,159
there just isn't, So just accept it. And the sooner

709
00:37:53,199 --> 00:37:55,079
you start your grind, the quicker you're going to get

710
00:37:55,079 --> 00:37:57,440
to the other side of it, ye, Right, And then

711
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,960
the other was as successful people. I suffered from this

712
00:38:01,159 --> 00:38:06,320
early in my career. There's this thing where two things

713
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,559
that a lot of people that are trying to start

714
00:38:08,599 --> 00:38:12,679
businesses or any anything, trying to start a big something,

715
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,679
trying to create something where nothing is there. There's a

716
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,800
tendency for people that have the gumption to do something

717
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,800
like that to also be a little bit closed minded, right,

718
00:38:23,079 --> 00:38:25,440
to think they have to do it their way. Well,

719
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,800
I fell victim of the same thing, right, and what

720
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,880
I learned about it was a it is a fear

721
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,760
of failure, but it is also simultaneously a fear of success.

722
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,159
You've got both. That's what creates that whole dynamic, right,

723
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,800
And what does it usually result in? It usually results

724
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,840
in like just you get stuck. You're just stuck and

725
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:49,679
you're not moving. And the reason it has that impact

726
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:54,280
on you is because you want to believe that you've

727
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,800
got a way, that you've got a special talent, but

728
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,920
you've never done it before. You don't know the process,

729
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,599
so and that held me back. I thought certain things

730
00:39:03,639 --> 00:39:05,559
were beneath me. I thought certain things that I thought

731
00:39:05,559 --> 00:39:07,960
I was too good for certain things. And what you

732
00:39:08,079 --> 00:39:11,440
realize is I remember coming to this realization of going,

733
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,000
you know what, I am smarter and more talented than

734
00:39:14,039 --> 00:39:16,960
that guy, but he's making about seven times more than

735
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,079
I am a year, and he can take care of

736
00:39:19,079 --> 00:39:23,360
his family. I can't. Right, So I need to humble

737
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:27,519
myself and realize I may be more talented, but he's

738
00:39:27,559 --> 00:39:29,559
doing a heck of a lot better job taking care

739
00:39:29,559 --> 00:39:32,320
of his family than I am. Yeah. Right, So I'm

740
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,360
going to swallow my pride and I'm going to figure

741
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,440
out right, perfection is the enemy of progress. You don't

742
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,400
need a perfect plan. You need a plant, right, and

743
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,000
you're going to perfect it as you go. But the

744
00:39:45,159 --> 00:39:49,880
easiest way to start anything is go find the person

745
00:39:50,079 --> 00:39:52,920
in that field or in that profession that is the

746
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:59,000
best you know, and copy everything they do. Just copy it, right,

747
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,559
use your own word. You've got to be authentic, but

748
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,119
copy it. Why you don't know how to win, and

749
00:40:05,199 --> 00:40:08,360
if you did, we wouldn't be having this conversation. You've

750
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,920
got to learn successful habits You've got to learn what

751
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,639
a grind looks like. You've got to get the mentality.

752
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,920
You need to understand what time you need to go

753
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,159
to bed. You need to understand that what you eat

754
00:40:19,199 --> 00:40:22,039
impacts it. You need to understand. For me, the most

755
00:40:22,079 --> 00:40:23,960
sacred part of your day is when you first wake

756
00:40:24,039 --> 00:40:26,800
up and spending time with God, making sure you're centered right,

757
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,000
making sure your head's on right, and learning these habits

758
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,480
and understanding that there are no shortcuts. Guys, you know,

759
00:40:35,039 --> 00:40:38,880
and I'm sure you feel similarly. You couldn't pay me.

760
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,440
You could, But I am so glad and so blessed

761
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,760
and so fortunate to be where I am at now,

762
00:40:46,599 --> 00:40:51,119
and quite honestly, I'm frankly surprised by it and feeling,

763
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,199
just like I said, incredibly blessed. But there was so

764
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,239
much hard work. There were so many seventy hour weeks.

765
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,039
I told one of the other stories in that I

766
00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:04,280
did in the early days, probably for the first five

767
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,840
years building Bulwark, I was going up and down. I

768
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,320
five putting about forty thousand miles a year on my car,

769
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,480
and I was doing it in two thousand and two

770
00:41:11,519 --> 00:41:14,039
thousand and one. Four focus hatsback that I'd broken ac

771
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,800
So in the summer, you know, wearing my nice dress shirt.

772
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,280
I'd have to hang my dress shirt on the passenger

773
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,480
seat or it'd be soaked by the time I got

774
00:41:22,559 --> 00:41:25,519
to the meeting. So I'm cruising around Seattle, skinned up,

775
00:41:25,559 --> 00:41:28,760
you know, and I'd stop a block before we'd get

776
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,639
to the house or that wherever I was meeting the

777
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,159
potential client. I'd put my dress shirt on, drives the

778
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:38,000
final block and pulling like there's and what it's it's

779
00:41:38,199 --> 00:41:41,719
You spend so much time avoiding the grind, but once

780
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,239
you commit yourself to it, you get lost in the process,

781
00:41:45,599 --> 00:41:47,159
and all of a sudden you pick your head up

782
00:41:47,159 --> 00:41:50,480
twelve twelve years later and you're like, holy smokes, how

783
00:41:50,519 --> 00:41:54,199
did this all happen? And it just happens. Rome wasn't

784
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,519
built in the day, It just happens by it first.

785
00:41:57,679 --> 00:42:00,639
In my opinion, I couldn't have pulled it off without

786
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,679
without God, so submitting to that. But then it's just

787
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:10,400
success looks like one little tiny improvement a day, and

788
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,800
you just keep applying pressure over time, and looking back,

789
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,679
it's shocking because you're like, how did we get here?

790
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,599
How do you because you know because you look at

791
00:42:20,639 --> 00:42:22,320
the entirety of it, and you're like, it doesn't feel

792
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,880
like we did all that. But success compounds, just like

793
00:42:26,039 --> 00:42:27,119
just like failure.

794
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 1: Does absolutely absolutely you what you're describing here and these behaviors.

795
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,360
When I started doing talk radio back in the day,

796
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,119
I wouldn't say I was a Rush Limbaugh personator as

797
00:42:39,159 --> 00:42:41,960
much as as an Alan Berg impersonator on the right.

798
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:46,000
Alan Berg was a leftist, but his show meant a lot.

799
00:42:47,119 --> 00:42:48,880
And then when I listened to more Rush and I

800
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,519
realized I'm actually more like Rush. Some of that came

801
00:42:51,559 --> 00:42:54,159
into how I presented myself and then eventually you grow

802
00:42:54,199 --> 00:42:56,920
into your own person. But you were saying, don't listen

803
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,519
to the teachers. That radio is filled with consultants, utterly

804
00:43:00,559 --> 00:43:03,039
filled with them. And here's what I've learned is if

805
00:43:03,119 --> 00:43:06,480
I'm listening to teachers, it's because they can't be personalities.

806
00:43:07,079 --> 00:43:09,639
But okay, so, but the media business is a little

807
00:43:09,639 --> 00:43:12,559
bit different. There are people who can't be personalized because

808
00:43:12,559 --> 00:43:17,679
they've got strange voices, they're shy. And here's what I

809
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,400
determined from these guys. And I have a conversation with

810
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,360
from for instance, Rush Limbaugh's dear friend Craig Kitchen, who

811
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,199
had been his manager for twenty years. If you want

812
00:43:26,199 --> 00:43:29,159
to know a dude who knows what works in radio, Craig.

813
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,320
I mean, he's built more crews than just rushes.

814
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,199
Speaker 4: Well and Buddy worked with Rush Limbaugh, the best to

815
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:37,280
ever do it right.

816
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: Right, and he was very early on in the rush

817
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,519
train because he heard something. And I asked Craig one day,

818
00:43:43,599 --> 00:43:48,159
I said, I am not compliment fishing. I am seriously

819
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:52,079
asking you because I don't know. You say I have talent,

820
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,880
you say I'm good in the radio, what is it?

821
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:02,400
And he said, you talk with me. I have never

822
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:06,760
heard a program, even when you're in a monologue where

823
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:11,159
you're talking at me, right, I've always felt engaged. I thought, really,

824
00:44:11,199 --> 00:44:14,559
he goes, you don't even know you're doing it. But

825
00:44:14,639 --> 00:44:16,920
there's a thousand different ways you do this. You pause,

826
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,679
you stop, you ask questions, and I'm listening and I'm

827
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:24,360
sitting here thinking, Okay, I'm having a conversation with people now.

828
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,320
On the other hand, I've asked people who are say

829
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,719
program directors, you know, say, so, what do you like

830
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,440
about the show? Really topical? You know, you're on the

831
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,519
topics of the day. A lot of passion and I'm

832
00:44:35,519 --> 00:44:37,679
listening to that, going, okay, so that's that's Mick Talk

833
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:43,440
Show hosts Mick Talkie. Yeah, and Craig went to a

834
00:44:43,519 --> 00:44:45,920
thing I really value, which is talking with people like

835
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,800
you and I are talking now, and I want to like,

836
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,920
there's another thing that this just hit me, and then

837
00:44:51,039 --> 00:44:54,320
I want to wrap this with a discussion. You mentioned

838
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,760
God and putting God at the center, and I want

839
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:57,880
to talk about how to do that in a second.

840
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,920
But I mentioned to you I hired this this coach,

841
00:45:02,559 --> 00:45:06,519
and James won the CrossFit Games last year, unbelievably Christian,

842
00:45:06,599 --> 00:45:10,760
young guy, twenty four stink and years old, and he's

843
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,079
training for the game. So he doesn't do personal coaching.

844
00:45:13,159 --> 00:45:15,679
He does online coaching, which I thought was minimally beneficial

845
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,000
until I started working with him. And I'm looking at that, Zach.

846
00:45:19,039 --> 00:45:22,760
I've done this for four five years and and I've

847
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,840
gotten really fit, but I'm not a good crossfitter. And

848
00:45:27,039 --> 00:45:28,840
I look at the workouts this guy crates for me,

849
00:45:29,519 --> 00:45:33,719
and I'm talking, Okay, let's see, we're gonna do backrack

850
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:39,719
walking lunches. We're going to do bulgarian split squat jumps.

851
00:45:41,079 --> 00:45:46,800
We're going to do one rep max snatch. We're going

852
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:53,000
to do front rack box step ups to failure. We're

853
00:45:53,039 --> 00:45:59,519
going to do AWAD, which is six rounds of skier

854
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:04,440
box jumps, hand release push ups, and then we're going

855
00:46:04,519 --> 00:46:08,000
to wrap that up with half Karen, which is seventy

856
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,840
five wallballs for time. And this is in one session.

857
00:46:13,119 --> 00:46:16,519
And I'm realizing as I look through this, here's what

858
00:46:16,559 --> 00:46:18,599
he's doing because I'm trying to figure out his method.

859
00:46:19,519 --> 00:46:24,159
There are ten what are called the physical skills and

860
00:46:24,199 --> 00:46:28,679
CrossFit there this is what makes you an athlete cardiovascular,

861
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:34,440
respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance,

862
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:38,840
accuracy in everything he's programmed for me. Every day we

863
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:44,280
work five of the ten every day. Wall balls are accuracy.

864
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:48,280
We had the balance, the Bulgarian split squat jumps that's

865
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:52,039
also a form of agility. We had power one rep

866
00:46:52,079 --> 00:46:59,760
max snatch, we had strength, the backrack walking lunches, which

867
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,079
is all also balance. And I'm realizing, wait, all of

868
00:47:03,119 --> 00:47:06,880
this is wrapped up in the cardill right right, So

869
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,360
they're trying to work eight of the ten per day.

870
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,480
How do you make it to the CrossFit games? How

871
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:17,679
do you win? They'll do those workouts four times a day.

872
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,400
So you're talking about people to mimic. And early on,

873
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,119
when I was a young CEO, I didn't know how

874
00:47:25,119 --> 00:47:28,599
to CEO. So I got to go to San Francisco

875
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,159
and work three days with a woman who had been

876
00:47:31,159 --> 00:47:35,480
a successful exit like private exit, two companies public. I

877
00:47:35,519 --> 00:47:36,840
got to just sit in the room and watch her

878
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:41,320
a CEO. What does she eat for breakfast? How does

879
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,119
she deal with employees? I watched your solve problems between

880
00:47:44,159 --> 00:47:47,239
two of her executives, and I came away from that,

881
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,639
Oh okay, that's how you ceo. Yeah, that was very,

882
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:52,840
very potent. So let's talk at a second.

883
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,199
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Oh no, And you bring up a great point,

884
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,719
like it goes to my point about the residue right

885
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:03,400
of success. Every everybody's got it differently, but you start

886
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,559
seeing these commonalities and like I was saying to you,

887
00:48:07,039 --> 00:48:11,840
everybody you just mentioned was either tied to or was

888
00:48:12,039 --> 00:48:16,320
a top practitioner and top performer, right, yeah, and and

889
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,599
and so I'm not saying don't listen to any teacher.

890
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,920
If it's a teacher of one of the top performers,

891
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:27,119
then listen to them. But once again, you're mimicking what

892
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,360
the top performer is doing because that top performer is

893
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:31,000
going to that.

894
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: Teacher point, right.

895
00:48:32,039 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 4: So so again it's it's imitated. You know a great

896
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:41,400
example of this is meeting with people about finance going

897
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,559
over everybody's different, there's different needs, right. What we have

898
00:48:44,679 --> 00:48:47,320
found is that the best way to bring in a

899
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,559
new client is over the course of three meetings, not five,

900
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,920
not two, not four. Why is three the magic number?

901
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:55,639
Speaker 1: I don't know.

902
00:48:56,159 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 4: I learned that from a top practitioner, and it works.

903
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,400
It's just the right amount of time where you don't

904
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,840
blow the clients out and get them too bored. But

905
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,119
it's also enough meetings to where they thoroughly understand what

906
00:49:08,159 --> 00:49:11,159
you're trying to do and when you're trying to And

907
00:49:11,199 --> 00:49:13,199
I've watched these guys try to come up with their

908
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,320
own ways of doing it and it never works. And

909
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,199
you look at them and go, why won't you just

910
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:21,599
take the bit man, just do what works? And it's

911
00:49:21,639 --> 00:49:24,440
it's what my grandfathers used to say, is they're being

912
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,039
too clever by half. Yeah.

913
00:49:26,119 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: I love that statement, don't I don't think yourself this

914
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:33,480
this mentor I had Anne, I called her because and

915
00:49:33,559 --> 00:49:35,559
she did this for free. I guess we gave her

916
00:49:35,559 --> 00:49:38,800
a little bit of equity, but basically for free to

917
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:40,920
be helpful to a friend of a friend who got

918
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,039
her started, had been a mentor for her right, so

919
00:49:43,199 --> 00:49:45,920
giving back and I called her head. There's the there's

920
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:49,320
this huge argument between two of my senior executives, my

921
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:54,960
chief operating officer and I had a biz DEV so

922
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,920
and here's what's going on. She said, Okay, I don't

923
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:01,800
have a lot of time individually, sit them down and

924
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:03,280
say what do you want me to do with the information?

925
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:08,480
To bring in me? So see the VP of BIZDEV,

926
00:50:08,519 --> 00:50:10,880
who could have been a c guy, very senior executive.

927
00:50:11,159 --> 00:50:13,280
He comes in, Well, it's just that she's doing this

928
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,760
and she's doing that, and I'm listening to this. I go, Tim,

929
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:17,119
what do you want me to do with this information?

930
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,480
I just thought you should know you send an email?

931
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:27,159
Speaker 2: Right?

932
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: And then she comes in, well, Tim, and okay, what

933
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:34,639
do you want me to do with this information? So

934
00:50:34,679 --> 00:50:38,760
I bring them both in together and as advice, here's

935
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:40,280
the deal. Here's what I'm to do with this information.

936
00:50:41,079 --> 00:50:43,119
You guys are having a conflict. I will give you

937
00:50:43,599 --> 00:50:45,039
the next two houris to solve it, or I will

938
00:50:45,039 --> 00:50:50,920
make a decision that'll be final. So you got two

939
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,000
hours because you may not like my decision, but it

940
00:50:54,039 --> 00:50:57,679
will be final. Look at each other, and I never

941
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,280
felt more validated as a young boss. Like a young guy,

942
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,280
young CEO is Tim looks, he goes, the boss just

943
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,599
gave us walk at orders. I said, you mean marching.

944
00:51:05,639 --> 00:51:08,039
He said no, walking out of your office?

945
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:09,760
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, So.

946
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,559
Speaker 1: Go get this done. And they came out like you know, gosh,

947
00:51:12,559 --> 00:51:14,719
imagine that forty five minutes later. We got it worked out.

948
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,239
Do I need to know? Nope, we got it all

949
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:16,719
worked out.

950
00:51:17,519 --> 00:51:17,679
Speaker 2: Good.

951
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's another. It's another. We have another saying around here,

952
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,599
which is do you do you want to be right?

953
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,039
Or do you want to win right? And and another

954
00:51:27,199 --> 00:51:31,159
another are our most probably most famous quote, at least

955
00:51:31,199 --> 00:51:33,760
around here, is you know you can keep the trophy

956
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:38,159
so long as I get the check right, meaning meaning who.

957
00:51:38,079 --> 00:51:42,599
Speaker 1: Cares if you're right? Win right? When win for the clients,

958
00:51:42,679 --> 00:51:45,320
win for the class right. Yes, I'll wrap this up

959
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:46,920
for a second. When we talk about moving God, this

960
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,320
center and what you discovered demonstrably change when you did that,

961
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:53,360
because people need to understand this as well. My friend

962
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,679
John moved God to the center of his life when

963
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:59,239
they after they had their first son, he his wife

964
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,639
became Christian, and praise God, they did. God's timing was perfect.

965
00:52:03,079 --> 00:52:05,239
Not only did their oldest son observe that change, he

966
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,960
walks with the Lord. But God had a plan, and

967
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,760
the plan was that they would have two children, one

968
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,920
of whom would be evidently very challenged, even in the womb.

969
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,880
And doctors looked at this little baby and they said, nope, nope,

970
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:23,079
let us let us neutralize the pain of this baby

971
00:52:23,159 --> 00:52:25,119
that's going to have and let us let us terminate

972
00:52:25,159 --> 00:52:27,559
the pregnancy. I mean, you know what the euphemism is

973
00:52:28,519 --> 00:52:30,760
because of God? What God did? They said, Nope, not

974
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,519
a chance. This is our son. We're going to see

975
00:52:33,559 --> 00:52:36,239
that he has a fruitful life. And they have. And

976
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,000
his name is Alan, and he helps with the soap company.

977
00:52:39,039 --> 00:52:42,239
He does quality control. He invents the fragrances of soaps

978
00:52:42,559 --> 00:52:45,119
and they all mean something to him. His brother Ian

979
00:52:45,199 --> 00:52:48,360
is impacted by autism as well, perhaps not as profoundly

980
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,280
as Alan, because Alan is effectively nonverbal as a lunch

981
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:54,840
of structural issues. But God's plan was that Alan and

982
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:56,920
his wife would be touched in their hearts to create

983
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,280
a company where people like Alan work. They didn't know

984
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,039
how to make soap because Alan's a digital marketer by trade,

985
00:53:02,159 --> 00:53:04,480
very famous at it, by the way, I'm John israther

986
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,519
so they found a family that makes soap. They've done

987
00:53:06,519 --> 00:53:09,760
it for three generations. None of this soap has any chemicals.

988
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,079
It's all natural. It's made in America. Now they've hired

989
00:53:12,119 --> 00:53:15,079
a third person, Amy, who was in college and then

990
00:53:15,119 --> 00:53:18,679
something went wacky with her and she couldn't do the

991
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:22,440
tests anymore, the papers, and she got late on set autism.

992
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,960
Can you imagine, like you're in your twenties and hey,

993
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:31,559
you're becoming autistic. Yeah, that happens, and all of a

994
00:53:31,599 --> 00:53:33,559
sudden she can't go to college anymore. And people who

995
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,159
recruit her for jobs are like, yeah, no, you can't

996
00:53:36,199 --> 00:53:39,599
work here. So she does social for them and she's thriving.

997
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,719
So you can choose the soap companies you work with.

998
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,840
And there's a reason that God chose Alan for this position.

999
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,320
I think it's to show the dignity of work. And

1000
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:50,519
so we respond by buying soap from him. Alan soaps

1001
00:53:50,519 --> 00:53:53,199
dot Com, slash Todd and promo cod tod. There gets

1002
00:53:53,199 --> 00:53:55,719
you tempercent off Allan soaps dot Com slash Todd and

1003
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:57,559
it's just a great way to show that all lives matter.

1004
00:53:58,519 --> 00:54:01,320
What was the big change you guys observed when you

1005
00:54:01,559 --> 00:54:05,920
and your beautiful wife, who is an executive, like a

1006
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:09,039
key executive at the company. What the big changes you

1007
00:54:09,079 --> 00:54:11,880
notice when you put God at the center of the business.

1008
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 4: The biggest The biggest change. This will sound kind of funny.

1009
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:21,880
The biggest change was confidence. And let me explain why,

1010
00:54:22,079 --> 00:54:26,239
because we really truly put Him at the center of

1011
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:30,000
what we were doing every single day and related it

1012
00:54:30,119 --> 00:54:33,440
is back to business as much as we possibly could,

1013
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:37,800
and truly then gave the first fruits of those labors

1014
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,920
a way to Christ based enterprises and charities and different

1015
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:46,360
things like that. And what it gave you It created

1016
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,559
a scenario that my wife and I still refer to

1017
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:52,400
is I don't need to know where we're going. I

1018
00:54:52,559 --> 00:54:54,800
just need to know I'm in the plan right, And

1019
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,079
what that means to us is I just need to

1020
00:54:58,079 --> 00:55:01,400
know where God wants me and and as long as

1021
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:05,360
I know that, the circumstances around me don't matter. Right,

1022
00:55:05,639 --> 00:55:08,039
There's gonna be storms, there's gonna be sun. But if

1023
00:55:08,039 --> 00:55:10,199
I'm in the plan, I got nothing to worry about. Yeah,

1024
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:14,360
and and not that bad things won't happen. But I've

1025
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:19,519
got a loving, the best father, And whatever hardships I

1026
00:55:19,599 --> 00:55:23,440
go through are workouts and I don't and I can.

1027
00:55:23,519 --> 00:55:26,480
I can view them as that because I'm in the plan.

1028
00:55:27,199 --> 00:55:31,280
And that was the confidence. Had we not put him there,

1029
00:55:31,679 --> 00:55:35,599
there's no way we'd be here, not because of magic blessings,

1030
00:55:35,599 --> 00:55:38,639
but because of the confidence that instilled, right and and

1031
00:55:38,679 --> 00:55:42,079
because of the certainty and the and the singular purpose

1032
00:55:42,159 --> 00:55:46,320
it provided. Right just because I wasn't doing it for me,

1033
00:55:46,519 --> 00:55:49,039
I was driving around a Ford FLT right. There was

1034
00:55:49,119 --> 00:55:51,440
no look at me aspects to it. It was just

1035
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,920
really pushing a message that we firmly believed in and

1036
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:56,559
you know, letting.

1037
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:59,159
Speaker 1: God lead the way. And that was that was.

1038
00:55:59,159 --> 00:56:02,360
Speaker 4: The biggest difference incident made, was the certainty and the

1039
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,079
ability to ride through the tough times, because there were plenty.

1040
00:56:05,639 --> 00:56:08,639
But when you're in the plan and you're where you

1041
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:12,920
know you're supposed to be, it makes getting up every

1042
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:16,320
day and shoveling that much easier, you know, just because

1043
00:56:16,679 --> 00:56:20,360
you quit look at the scoreboard. Right, And I had

1044
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,559
a great college football coach that was famous for that.

1045
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,920
But you know, in teaching me, we do not get

1046
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,320
to where we're going by staring at where we want

1047
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,599
to go. We get to where we want to go

1048
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,360
by taking the first step and then taking the second crust.

1049
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 1: You didn't want, you, guys, look at the scoreboard.

1050
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 4: No, not at all.

1051
00:56:36,679 --> 00:56:37,559
Speaker 1: That's really cool.

1052
00:56:38,039 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, he would just sit there and say, guys, that's

1053
00:56:40,039 --> 00:56:43,400
for losers. Okay, what does the scoreboard have to do

1054
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,880
with anything? All you can do is your best. So

1055
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,880
I want you singularly focused on your effort and your

1056
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,440
execution because outside of that you have no control. So

1057
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:56,039
don't care about the scoreboard. Don't look at where you

1058
00:56:56,079 --> 00:56:58,440
are on the month. You don't need to worry about

1059
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:00,880
what your production numbers are. If you we're grinding as

1060
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,719
hard as you can, if you're giving your best, there's

1061
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,519
nowhere else to go from there. You're in the plant, right,

1062
00:57:06,679 --> 00:57:09,880
So any time you waste looking at the scoreboard or

1063
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:13,880
looking at the scenarios around you, you're detracting from your

1064
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:14,760
chances of winning.

1065
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:19,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really well said. For me, there was the economics,

1066
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:21,039
and I've talked about that a lot in the show.

1067
00:57:21,039 --> 00:57:22,519
So I don't want to do that. But there was.

1068
00:57:25,199 --> 00:57:27,400
I am not a perfect host. I've, in fact, in

1069
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,079
the past years said things on the show that have

1070
00:57:30,159 --> 00:57:33,800
hurt people I love, and that's me being egotistical and

1071
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:39,559
forgetting myself sometimes, and I'm deeply sorry for that. But

1072
00:57:40,119 --> 00:57:43,559
on the positive side of that, Zach, there's been times

1073
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:47,800
where and it happens more in radio, like my Disciples

1074
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:51,360
View show on the American Family Radio Network. There's been

1075
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:53,920
times where I've sat down to do the show and

1076
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:57,639
God has said, Nope, throw the show sheet away, yeah

1077
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,679
and for real, like there's sounds polled. Alex pulls him,

1078
00:58:01,719 --> 00:58:04,639
Randy plays him back in back in the AFR studios

1079
00:58:04,639 --> 00:58:09,039
one hundred and eighty one FM stations, toss it and

1080
00:58:09,079 --> 00:58:12,840
where God has done the content, and I'm just a mouth.

1081
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,119
And like I said, during a break, and this happened

1082
00:58:17,119 --> 00:58:18,440
a couple of times, Randy, I don't know if we're

1083
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:22,000
going back to the show sheet today, okay, boss. And

1084
00:58:22,039 --> 00:58:24,079
I'll sit there during the break and think like where

1085
00:58:24,079 --> 00:58:27,559
I'm at, and God's like, okay, here's what's next. And

1086
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:31,679
I get done with those shows. And every time that happens,

1087
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:37,280
Randy says, great show. Yeah, okay, but that wasn't me

1088
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:42,159
and giving yourself to God as a so called content creator.

1089
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:46,599
To watch a show get done without you, and all

1090
00:58:46,639 --> 00:58:49,639
you are is a voice. You would think that would

1091
00:58:49,679 --> 00:58:55,039
seem belittling, but no, being a tool for the for

1092
00:58:55,079 --> 00:58:57,840
the Almighty Man. It's being.

1093
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 4: It's it's being in the plan. Yeah, right, like that,

1094
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,840
And there's no more comforting feeling. If we truly believe

1095
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,400
that He is our father, a perfect father made of love, right,

1096
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:12,320
the embodiment of love, then then what are we? What

1097
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:15,079
are we like? The only focus should be be in

1098
00:59:15,119 --> 00:59:15,440
the plan.

1099
00:59:15,639 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 1: Yeah that's it. Yeah, I love it. Thank you for

1100
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:20,760
spending time with us, my brother, say hi to the

1101
00:59:21,159 --> 00:59:24,519
lovely family and we'll connect it again next week. This

1102
00:59:24,559 --> 00:59:27,159
is the Todd Hermanshew. Please go, be well, be strong,

1103
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,639
be kind, and please make every effort to walk in

1104
00:59:29,679 --> 00:59:30,480
the light of Christ.
