Josh, 31 00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:22.960 how are you today. 32 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.639 Sir, Oh, I'm doing great, George, thanks for having me. 33 00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:28.479 Thank you so much for coming on again. We had 34 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.439 a little bit of a conversation beforehand, but before we 35 00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.240 dive into the topics at hand, please do take a 36 00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:36.479 few moments and introduce yourself to the audience. 37 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.479 Yeah, so, as you said, my name is Josh. I 38 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.719 live in Orange County, California. I didn't grow up here. 39 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.680 I grew up in a small rural town in Indiana, 40 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:54.639 so very conservative upbringing. Was raised Christian thankfully by my parents. 41 00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.599 But it's been a journey, you know, like a lot 42 00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:03.560 of people, for me to kind of iron my faith 43 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:07.960 out over the years. And I really started when I 44 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:11.240 was a young adult. My parents divorced kind of kind 45 00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:15.680 of suddenly, and long story short, I ended up in Hawaii, 46 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:18.240 lived there for about ten years, and then made my 47 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:22.639 way here to California. But along the way, it's, like 48 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:26.560 I said, it's been a journey, and you know, it 49 00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:30.240 started with just discovering a lot of these truths along 50 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.520 the way of the Bible, because I feel like just 51 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.319 getting into the Bible and kind of comparing it and 52 00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:41.120 contrasting it to other religions is really important. And so 53 00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:43.599 you know, I can share more about that as we 54 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.360 go on, but that's kind of the short end of 55 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:48.319 my story. And here we are today. 56 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.919 Yeah, And speaking of Hawaii, we were kind of reminiscing 57 00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:54.280 about our time there. You were then, you were there 58 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:59.199 for ten years. I was there for three, and anyone 59 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.000 who has been there before for especially if you're not 60 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:05.840 used to the kind of a year round weather of 61 00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:11.039 that you know, near the equator, it is different. Like 62 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.439 we were talking about having Christmas and shorts and a 63 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:18.199 T shirt. But I would never trade that experience for 64 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.199 the life of me, going on the north shore and 65 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:23.399 seeing the waves, or even simple things like I think 66 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:25.839 what was that mall called the Pearl Ridge Mall? And 67 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.279 there was a little trolley that would take you from 68 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.000 one side to the other and you could see the 69 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.439 Arizona Memorial from there. It is just, you know, we 70 00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:37.680 talk about God's beauty and I'm so glad. I took 71 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.040 so many pictures, not just on the ground. I was 72 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.120 actually in an aviation unit on Wheeler Army Airfield, so 73 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.680 I was able to get some pictures like above the 74 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.079 Lowha Stadium and things like that. Just a diamond head, 75 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.879 just amazing experience. But when the time was up, I 76 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.279 was ready to go. What was your experience like there? 77 00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:01.319 Oh? Man, you know, it was great. I loved it. 78 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:06.759 You know, the people especially were amazing. You know, they 79 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:08.160 call it the spirit of Aloha. 80 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:09.079 Uh. 81 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:14.279 People really do value family and friendships out there. 82 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:15.759 You know. 83 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.160 I don't know if it's how deep it is into 84 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.079 the culture, or if it's the fact that you're on 85 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.759 a small little island and there's only so many people. 86 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.959 But it had a lot of ups and downs. When 87 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.079 my parents divorced, my dad moved out there and that 88 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:35.839 was how I ended there. He had this idea to 89 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.920 start a live streaming company way back in two thousand 90 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:43.040 and two, two thousand and three, pre YouTube for weddings 91 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.199 because he would notice that all these people would be 92 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.480 getting married on the beach and you know, no one 93 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:52.839 was there except maybe a photographer. And he kind of 94 00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.480 given me this idea to say, Hey, you know, I 95 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.959 really what do you think about this idea of streaming 96 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.759 weddings over the internet. I was like, a cool idea. 97 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:03.040 But at the time, as I said, I was in 98 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.759 Indiana and one morning I got on my knees and 99 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:08.199 I prayed. I said, God, if you want me to 100 00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:12.439 do something different with my life, show me, just show me. 101 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.600 Because I was working at kind of a dead end 102 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.720 job and didn't really enjoy it. And that day at 103 00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:19.759 my job they told me that I was being let 104 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.319 go and it was like, whoa, Okay, that's a sign 105 00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:28.360 from God. And funny enough, that afternoon I went and 106 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.040 played some golf, played the best round of golf of 107 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.639 my life before since, and I said, God, are you 108 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:35.759 wanting me to be a professional golfer? Is that the 109 00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:39.120 sign you're showing me? Well, the next time I went golfing, 110 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:40.879 it was clear that that wasn't the sign. It was 111 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:43.480 just a one set of a million rounds of golf. 112 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:47.879 But I ended up there and it was tough. We 113 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.120 had this business together for five years and I had 114 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:52.879 to work a part time job at a restaurant to 115 00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:57.120 make its meet. And you know, unfortunately my father passed 116 00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:01.639 away in two thousand and nine. But however, at that 117 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.439 point I was ready to start on my own and 118 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:07.800 so I started my own company, and you know, it 119 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:11.160 was successful. It took off and kind of catapult to 120 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:12.480 me to where I said, you know, I'm ready to 121 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.959 move and to move to California. So, you know, a 122 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:19.040 lot of memories in Hawaii, beautiful place, beautiful people that 123 00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:21.879 I still keep in touch with and still visit often. 124 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:26.319 You know, Josh, this is maybe a different type of parallel, 125 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.959 But I get so many emails from people from the 126 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.560 from around the world who are maybe locked into a 127 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.240 job that they're not happy with. But they've been there 128 00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:38.959 for a long time and they're in the matrix, but 129 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:42.000 they're unhappy and they spend many of their years unhappy 130 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:47.360 doing what they do. Right, what I've gotten letters from 131 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.800 folks who are letter carriers, work for Amazon and it 132 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.439 pays the bills, but they tell me that they're not happy. 133 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:56.199 What would you say to folks for someone who sounds 134 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.759 for you know, someone who sounds like you've been self 135 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:03.360 and pla Lloyd for some time. What is it like 136 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:06.639 to take a chance on yourself that they're you know, 137 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:11.920 obviously everything depends on your actions, the negatives and the 138 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:15.879 positives of just taking a risk, you know, placing a 139 00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.120 bet on yourself and going into business for yourself. 140 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.600 Well, you know, like you said, it is tough. It 141 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:25.800 has its ups and downs for me at least, But 142 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:29.160 I always never felt like I wanted to be in 143 00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:32.200 a position where I spent my whole life doing something 144 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.600 that I didn't enjoy, that I didn't love. You know, 145 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:38.200 you spend at least a third of your life working, 146 00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:41.559 and so to me, it never made sense. And I 147 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:46.679 have plenty of other failed ventures that I had attempted 148 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:51.600 before this, So this wasn't my first foray into entrepreneurship, 149 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:54.960 and so you know, there was a lot of self 150 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:57.799 doubt at times. As I said, working at a restaurant 151 00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:01.000 for several years to just try to make it to 152 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.120 this full time status. I honestly never knew that if 153 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:08.759 I would even make it. And so, you know, I 154 00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:10.519 think for a lot of people, you know, a lot 155 00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:12.840 of people really enjoy that nine to five. They enjoy 156 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:17.000 that security and they value that even if they don't 157 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:20.159 necessarily love the job. So, you know, to each their 158 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.080 own in that aspect, I suppose. But if you're somebody 159 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.799 that you know you're you're really contemplating, you know, should 160 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.679 I take that chance? You know, I don't enjoy this job. 161 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:34.039 I don't feel the joy in my life that piece. Man, 162 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.759 do it. Just do it, even if it means sacrificing, 163 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.840 you know, the time off that you have away outside 164 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:44.240 of your normal job to build it. You know, the 165 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.519 life that I've been able to live up to this 166 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:49.600 point has been amazing, you know, being able to travel 167 00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.519 a lot, being able to spend time with my family. 168 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:55.840 I wouldn't trade that for the world. 169 00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:58.879 Hey man, thanks for sharing that, because I think that 170 00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:01.360 is important. There's a lot of people who are kind 171 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.799 of stuck in the matrix, who have plans. I think 172 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.240 they're just a little afraid to take that leap. And obviously, 173 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:08.519 in the world we live in, that is all over 174 00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:10.320 the place. I mean, you look at the stock market, 175 00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:13.919 it's up a thousand today, down a thousand tomorrow. We 176 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.600 were we went to Lowe's to pick up some lumber 177 00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:20.759 for the Homestead today and we passed to Dunkin Donuts 178 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:23.679 and now starting at eighteen dollars an hour, I mean, 179 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.120 tell me your economy's jacked up without telling me your 180 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:31.000 economy's jacked up, I mean, that is just absurd. But 181 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.519 let's kind of get into your road to the truth 182 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:36.879 and we will get to flat earth. But you mentioned 183 00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:41.559 your email. High school really started your critical thinking and 184 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:45.279 JFK and a certain film about the Federal Reserve. Why 185 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:47.279 don't you tell us your journey to the truth. 186 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:50.240 Yeah, when I was in high school, I saw the 187 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:55.480 movie JFK. B Oliverstone, Kevin Costner in that, and I 188 00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:58.120 had to do a book report on it. I don't 189 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:00.399 remember what year. It might have been a sophomore or 190 00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.399 but I ended up watching the film like five or 191 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.559 six times, I remember, and you know, at the end 192 00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:10.960 of it, I still didn't quite fully believe what the 193 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:14.039 movie was trying to tell me. You know that you know, 194 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:18.240 obviously there was more than just one shooter, but exactly 195 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:20.639 what was going on, you know, you never really knew. 196 00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:23.840 Even there was a seinfod episode, which I don't know 197 00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:25.879 if you're a sign if you watch Seinfeld, but the 198 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:28.799 famous magic bullet, right, the Magic Blugie, the magic bullet. 199 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:32.960 That even was something that was around the same time 200 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:34.919 when I was in high school when that came out, 201 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.399 and so that was just something. It didn't fully like 202 00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:42.320 awaken me or trigger anything in me as much as 203 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:48.799 probably started that journey of wonder, that journey of question everything. 204 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:54.080 I think. I like to describe myself as a nonconformist. 205 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:57.600 I tend to see what everybody's doing and kind of think, Okay, 206 00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:59.960 if everyone's doing that, I'm probably gonna do something else. 207 00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.879 If everyone is following this, especially in the worldly sense, 208 00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:09.399 then that's probably not the right thing. So that was 209 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.519 the beginning. And then when I was about twenty two 210 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:18.039 to twenty three, my buddy Mike, my old roommate in Indianapolis. 211 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.720 Shout out to Mike. He got me to watch this 212 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:24.399 movie called The Money Masters, and that was the first 213 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.559 mind blowing film I had ever seen, and for anyone 214 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:32.480 who's never seen it, essentially it's the history of money 215 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:38.320 and it talks about basically from the sixteen to seventeen 216 00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:42.320 hundreds to the Federal Reserve, talked about when the fall 217 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:48.759 of Napoleon and how certain people were able to profit 218 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:51.200 literally basically a third of the world's wealth, and one 219 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:55.080 day by reporting false news that he had won the 220 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:59.639 Battle of Waterloo, et cetera. And when I realized that 221 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:02.320 the I Don't Reserve was not a federal institution but 222 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:06.840 a private bank that prints money on interest to our 223 00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:10.279 own government, yep, I could not believe it. It just 224 00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:14.080 blew my mind and it really kind of angered me, 225 00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:18.679 to be honest, I was angry, and I ended up 226 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:23.759 just sharing this with everybody, all my friends. People are like, Wow, 227 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:25.840 what's gotten into you? Like this was a different side 228 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:29.679 of me that people had never seen. But that was 229 00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:35.320 the first time that I'd really awoken to some of 230 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:37.120 the things that were really going on in the world. 231 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.240 You know, you just mentioned everything so good. I saw 232 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:47.120 that movie The Money Masters about four or five years ago, 233 00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:49.200 and I think it was right after I read. 234 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:50.879 G. 235 00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:58.080 Edward Griffin's The Jacky Lyland Book. And then most people, 236 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:02.879 truly to this day, have no idea how fiat currency works. 237 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:06.720 That the Federal Reserve is neither federal or a reserve 238 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:12.559 federal express exactly. And one of the funniest things always 239 00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:15.480 laughed at because we're taught to believe that some of 240 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.039 the greatest people in our history are the presidents. And 241 00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:21.039 then you get into freemasonry and you say, wow, all 242 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:24.840 these people were freemasons, so could they really be good presidents? 243 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:27.799 And yeah, you were told. Lincoln said that, you know, 244 00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:31.799 the birth of freedom is for the people, by the people, 245 00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:38.240 for the people. And you know, and we're literally the 246 00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:40.840 last in line when it comes to the prosperity of 247 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:44.559 this country. And I'm taking this full backs to the 248 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:47.600 point that the bankers are the one who prosper off 249 00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:51.200 are suffering when we have a tough day. We don't 250 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:55.399 get bailed out when the banks collapse because they made 251 00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.240 all these horrible By the way, go watch that movie 252 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:01.600 The Big Short. It'll explain that perfectly to you. And 253 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.679 how these corrupt people they were given anyone mortgages back then, 254 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.480 and then the adjustable the arm mortgages, and just how 255 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:14.639 irresponsible they are because they know, just like the auto industry, 256 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:18.399 they're too big to be allowed to collapse. Did certain 257 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:22.000 entities kind of yeah sure, and the dot com bubbles 258 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:25.320 did certain entities, yeah sure, But it's a small part 259 00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:27.879 of it. And they know that we the people are 260 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:30.320 going to bail them out. And in a country that 261 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.960 is supposed to be based on a government of the people, 262 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:37.559 by the people, for the people, the exact opposite would happen. 263 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:38.919 That's my thinking. 264 00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:43.960 What do you think, absolutely absolutely? I mean the phrase 265 00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:48.840 taxation is theft, right, It really is illegal, yep. And 266 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:50.360 it was told to be that it was going to 267 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:53.679 be a temporary tax in the early nineteen hundreds, and 268 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:56.759 here we are today still paying it. I think it's 269 00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:59.399 I think it's here to stay, right. I don't think 270 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:03.720 it's temporary. And if you really think about it, you know, 271 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.519 all it is is us give us the people, giving 272 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.480 money to people who spend our own money on things 273 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:13.759 that they shouldn't be spending it on, you know. And 274 00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:15.919 I think if I was a loan or give my 275 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:18.559 money to my neighbor and then I saw him spending 276 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.759 on extravagance or spending on any you know, what would 277 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:25.159 be considered a waste, I would be very upset. But 278 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:27.519 because we sort of give it almost into the ether 279 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:30.240 where we don't really see where it goes. We just 280 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:34.799 give it and then it's thrown into the pile, I 281 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:39.679 think we sort of dismiss it and don't really value 282 00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:42.039 it as much as we should, as if it was 283 00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:45.639 our own money, and so you know, I think it's 284 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:50.519 something we really got to fight for. Hold our government 285 00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:53.320 accountable for as much as we can. You know, I'm 286 00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:56.840 here in California and the amount of money that's wasted 287 00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:01.480 on the state level is so ridiculu us every single year. 288 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:05.200 But because you have a super majority, there's nothing ever 289 00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:10.880 gets done, and so you know, it gets depressing at times, 290 00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:14.119 but I think to do nothing is worse, and so 291 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:17.200 we just continue to bring awareness to it as much 292 00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:17.880 as we can. 293 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:21.960 You know, And that's something I talk about often as accountability, 294 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:26.839 and it shocks me sometimes how we just accept these things. 295 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:30.359 And you know, people say, well, you know, I went that. 296 00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:33.359 They'll go and tweet something or they'll go post something 297 00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:37.279 on Facebook, and that's considered you know, rising up, and 298 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:41.319 that's that's not rising up at all. And that's why 299 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:44.920 always say you have to start local. You have to 300 00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:47.000 find like minded people in your neighborhood. I think these 301 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.759 type of conversations that we're having. We have our little 302 00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:56.640 uh you know, town hall every week here on this 303 00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.759 podcast with different folks from around the world. But it's 304 00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:03.279 very important that you make changes locally, and that is 305 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:05.480 putting your feet on the ground and talking to your 306 00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:08.359 local elected officials, because you're not going to have a 307 00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:10.119 sit down with Donald Trump. You're not going to have 308 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:14.200 a sit down with the chairman of the Federal Reserve. 309 00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:19.440 The true escape is to find like minded people, and 310 00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:24.640 that includes, you know, people with morals, people who fear God, 311 00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:28.240 people who follow Christ, who want to make changes, who 312 00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:34.200 understand that we are told for thirteen years that this 313 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:36.799 is always a tough thing for me to broach. But 314 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.640 and I always tread carefully when I say this. I'm 315 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:43.720 not saying that we aren't the greatest nation on the world. However, 316 00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:52.039 we are probably the most man. I want to say 317 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:53.880 this correctly because I don't want to turn people off, 318 00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:58.680 but the truth about our country is not true. What 319 00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:03.359 they tell us about this country is not true. We're 320 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:05.640 not always the good guys. And when I say us, 321 00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:07.599 I'm not talking about the people of this country. I'm 322 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.920 talking about this the small group of people who control 323 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:13.240 the government of this country. Do you understand what I'm 324 00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:13.799 trying to say? 325 00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:15.039 Absolutely? 326 00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:15.359 Yeah. 327 00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:18.440 I think that's that's the right way to say it. 328 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:20.960 It's the same with any country. When you talk about them, right, 329 00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:25.119 you don't support the I don't personally support certain governments. 330 00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:27.680 I'll support the people who are just like me, who 331 00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:32.400 seek freedom, who seek peace and prosperity, et cetera. But yeah, 332 00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:36.279 the United States, and honestly, like my perspective has changed 333 00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:39.599 so much over the years. You know, I was raised Republican, 334 00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:42.400 and Republicans were the good guys and Democrats were evil. 335 00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:46.759 That's but now, you know, I like to say I'm 336 00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:49.640 conservative by nature in terms of the political spectrum, but 337 00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:54.519 I am by no means a Republican, you know, especially 338 00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:57.359 because I know many of these Republicans are you know, 339 00:19:57.400 --> 00:19:59.240 what you want to call rhinos or whatever you want 340 00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:03.599 to call them. They don't, you know, actually represent me 341 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.119 in their actions, and so, you know, being a Christian, 342 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:09.400 I think that's the greatest thing is you don't have 343 00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:12.920 to feel like you have to identify as a Republican. 344 00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:16.759 Right you may vote Republican because you know, Democrats the 345 00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:20.480 way that they as a whole govern and their morals 346 00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:23.759 and principles are way different than mine. So I understand 347 00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:28.559 why Christians vote Republican. But you know, you know, I 348 00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:30.960 think that's something that you'll see a lot of is 349 00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:33.799 where people kind of identify more as like I'm a Republican, 350 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:38.440 I'm American versus even if they are Christian as identifying 351 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:43.519 as a Christian. And so you know, I think, I 352 00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:45.359 think in some ways I do have hope for a 353 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:47.240 country where I see a lot of people are like, wow, 354 00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:50.559 the left is so far crazy this direction with a 355 00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:52.880 lot of their agendas that a lot of people that 356 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.200 are younger are kind of going back to the other direction. 357 00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:59.400 But at the end of the day, without Christ, you know, 358 00:20:59.559 --> 00:20:59.960 none of them. 359 00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:04.200 And that's that's what we have to be careful. If 360 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:06.279 it doesn't matter if it's got an R, if they 361 00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:08.200 have an R or a D or an I next 362 00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:10.599 to their name, if they're not based in the morals 363 00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:14.319 of Christ, then I get tired of here. And well, 364 00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:16.039 it could have been this person, right, it could have 365 00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:19.240 been Kamala, It could have been this God doesn't settle 366 00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:22.440 for anything. There is good and there's evil, and you 367 00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:25.279 have to choose. And I know people get swept up. 368 00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:27.640 And you know, we're taught that from a very young age. 369 00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:30.400 You're either A or B. And me and a friend 370 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:33.079 we're having just this conversation. The other day. It was 371 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.799 my brother in law actually at brunch and he's saying, 372 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:40.480 you know, he's complaining about the financial decisions that Trump 373 00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:42.519 has been making. And his buddy's like, oh, so you're 374 00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:46.000 a lip tard and he's like no. And that is 375 00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:48.920 exactly how they have people brainwash you're either team AY 376 00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:52.599 or team B and that intentionally causes the riff among us, 377 00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:56.039 and that takes the attention off the Federal Reserve and 378 00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:57.400 the powers that be right. 379 00:21:57.640 --> 00:21:59.559 Yeah, and don't you feel like that's intentional? 380 00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:00.720 Oh one hundred. 381 00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:04.440 It's created to keep people at each other in the 382 00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:07.279 name calling the loved even like me. I'm like, I 383 00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:11.119 hate when I hear people call other people, you know, names, 384 00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:14.440 or they say they hate liberals. Ye, no, you don't 385 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:17.240 hate people. You're Christian man, Like, you don't hate anybody. Now, 386 00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:20.000 maybe they do. They might hate you, but that doesn't 387 00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:22.720 mean you have to hate them, you know. And I've 388 00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:25.640 even challenged people who are on the left. I remember 389 00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:29.559 plenty of conversations with people who understand the Federal Reserve. 390 00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:32.839 They understand what it is, and I'm like, that's who 391 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:34.839 that's who we should be going after. That's who we 392 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:38.039 should we should really focus on. As these elite people 393 00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:41.880 up at the top, but it seems like it just 394 00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:44.599 skims their head for like a half second, and then 395 00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:46.319 it's right back to all Republicans. 396 00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:50.279 I don't know what to say, right back and again 397 00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:52.920 it's it's the system, it's it's the matrix, it's it's 398 00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:56.559 what they have created. So you know, you go from 399 00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:01.200 JFK to money Masters, to the FED and the sixteenth Amendment, 400 00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:05.720 taxes and then the moon landing, right And I'm sure 401 00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:09.359
