0:50 It's time for the adventures. So Fight Man. I'll go before Supply Icon with Ponkings. It's number one internet radio station. Here's your host, the Fight Man. He oh, it's Monday, It's February. It's twoenty twenty five. Can you believe it? I can't believe it. I can tell you that. Okay, wow, already a month into twenty twenty five. But it's good because you guys set your New Year's resolution and probably by now you have already not had it. Are over those because those aren't goals. So we're going to talk about goals and sometimes the goals are better to do like after your month into the year, because then you know what you're dealing with.

1:35 Because we've dealt with a lot in January, and we dealt with a lot last year, and I'm gonna and today we have I'm glad you're here because here's the thing. We are rolling back. Not like Walmart because I hate Walmart, but we are rolling back because we're we're bringing back theme days. We always had themes themed days on the Adventures of Pipe Man, and I think the theme today, besides the normal theme, which is my Evacial Monday, is maybe letting. Go of the past. Because listen, Rebel can tell you, and she's gonna come on in a second. But sometimes we have to let go of the past to bring back certain parts to move forward. And you know, so we had these theme days, but it took me quite a while to be comfortable enough to have somebody handling my show in order to do these them days.

2:42 And I'm still a little worried. About Rebel, but you know, that's just because she's from Louisiana, So why don't we bring the pipe nuts on right now? It has nothing to do with being from Louisiana just say. It, well, I think it kind of does you know, well, because it's kind of typical though, It's like, I think your typical Louisiana Again, is that what you call yourselves or just crackers? No, that's for Florida only in Florida. No, but seriously though, Okay, so yeah, we in fact, we had to eliminate one of the theme days, well not eliminated, but we changed it. We changed it to travel Tuesdays because I wasn't traveling as much then and it was tasty Tuesdays because Chad would bring in stuff. So that's why I mean, like, I'm sure a lot of us have experienced a lot of things in recent years that or even recent days that we have a hard time getting passed. And unfortunately, you can't change what happened. You can't change the past. You can only change your attitude towards it and how you're going to evolve into the future.

4:02 So it's kind of I have to say, it's kind of interesting that today is the first day to bring back motivation Monday. Why because we haven't had it since chat Is around okay, and because he passed, we kind of stopped doing It doesn't mean we weren't motivated. It just meant we weren't ready, and some people weren't ready. So I picked today, and I didn't do it on purpose. I really didn't even think about the correlation till literally thirty seconds before I. Got into the studio. Okay, because today is my grandson, Ash's birthday, and anybody that has followed me might know that Ash passed away in September. Now, you could easily take the easy route, and maybe it's not so easy. Sometimes it's the hard route to just not do it and not be motivated and not be optimistic because it's something that happened in your past.

5:13 But again, we can't change that. Does it suck? Yeah, but I'm sure that we're all meant to ultimately be happy, and in order to be happy, sometimes you have to deal with the things in your past and kind of move forward from them. So on that note, we have our swamp huts here now on this show, we're going to have like expert guests, authors, speakers. Oh oh, another bit of irony about today, and maybe it came from Ash. This morning, I got an email. You know, we got a bunch of awards last year. In twenty twenty four. This is the first one for twenty twenty five and basically I was nominated for an award as a speaker. Today I'm motivational Monday.

6:12 I don't know. Maybe that's a message from somewhere. Maybe it's a message from Ash. Maybe it's a message from my bros. Since I'm thirteen years old Marko last September passed. Maybe it was a message from Chad. Maybe it's just a message in our own head because it's our attitude and how we view things and how we go about things that will determine the trajectory of our life. Bad things are going to happen, good things are going to happen. But what really directs your life is what happens up here. So we'll start with rebel. Okay, because since you guys are here today, I want to get your opinions as well.

6:58 And okay, so what do we have up here when we're from Louisiana? Rebel? Lots of things, lots of things, mostly food. What do you guys are famous for your food? We even have a place right down the street from me that is a cage in place voodoo by you. Why, let's see there. It is voodoo by you. Whoever whoever named this restaurant was assuming that it's all bad in Louisiana because a voodoo thing. So why don't you while you clear the air, rebel? But seriously, what about your loss in life and how you've dealt with it?

7:41 Do you feel that you dealt with it right as of this moment in time? Are you ready to move on? Or is it still holding you back? Some things did still holds you back. You have to. You have to come to terms with things, and you have to accept the fact that you have to alter how you do things now when things are no longer what they used to be. Human beings have to deal with change. Not everybody deals with change very well, and it takes time. No matter what. Happens, it happens.

8:22 You can't change the past, but you can move forward to. Make a brighter future. Yeah, and some people think moving forward just means game by that's not moving forward. The brighter future part is the part I like right there? How about you one? Well, you know, in the last I would say five years, my family has lost around seven different family members. So you know, it doesn't get easier every time you go through it again, especially if you have it like within like a few months apart of one instance to the next.

9:07 So what I have learned is, you know, take the time to process it first, because we tend to, like especially me, you know, like I shut down, like I want to be disconnected from the world. You know, I'm just like in my own little world and that's just the way that I want to be for like a long time. But that's not really processing it. That's like holding back from starting that process. So you're not really moving forward. You're just stuck in denial and you know, not recognizing what you're going through. So I think the best thing to do is just to like give yourself enough time to process it. You know, move on. You know, it's always going to hurt, it's always going to you know, have that memory of what happened. Things can never go back to the way it was, but you can at least change the way you you build your life moving forward from that moment. So it's not holding you back in your own personal life. But you know, just process it and keep it pushing.

10:12 The wrong way to process. Keep that in mind, folks. You it's different for everyone. It's different for everyone, So just whatever your process is, go through it. Well. I can't disagree with the what rebels said though, because there are wrong ways, because that's what happens when people get into a fictions, addictions, depression, killing people, hurting people. Yeah, but it is their way of processing. That, that's their choice of what they're doing. But they're not processing, they're masking the situation. They're not processing, They're they're taking.

10:54 Everybody has their own like me. Like me, I have a similar process to want except there is something I'm gonna focus on. But there's one thing that when I say it out loud sometimes I'm like, well, yeah, that's not a good way to process because you know, I have this ability of. Turning a switch off. That is a way to process, but it's not a healthy way to process. So no, not all processes are healthy. They may be your process, that doesn't mean it's the right process or a good process because it could be negatively affecting you. And yes, the definition of addiction is kind of people besides just being addicted, but people that are addicted because of sources of pain in their life.

11:47 They become addicted because they chose drugs to process the pain. Okay, and I think alcohol is like the main source of people just trying to get rid of pain, which is a temporary fix for a permanent change. And it causes things to be worse. Okay, So some people process by holding things in and then ten twenty years later they blow up. They were processing it, they just weren't processing it the right way. Okay. So yes, the point of what you're saying, Rebel is true. I just think sometimes we define things a certain way so that we think it's acceptable to do those things or to be that way or what have you. But I think you have to also take an account all the people around you, because when you're processing or you're doing a certain way, you may be affecting your life in a negative way because of the way you're treating other people, especially like Okay, so I'll even speak for myself as somebody that does prefer to like go into seclusion and deal, but the way I do it, I'll explain in a second. But some people may look at that as well, you're being a jerk off because you're not, you know, mourning with the rest of us or what.

13:18 I'm totally not a misery loves company type of person because I hate negativity, and to me, misery loves company just keeps you miserable. It doesn't allow you to move forward. So there's a difference between moving forward and processing. Processing is part that leads to moving forward. But if you don't process properly, just like anything else, if you make a car, or you may bake a cake, if you don't process those things properly, they're going to come out wrong. Doesn't mean you're not processing it, okay. So the thing is with what Wan said that I want to focus in on is is kind of explain how I do it. Yes, I go into seclusion, but I do that so that I can get out of the negativity as quickly as possible, because when you're surrounded by the misery, it's hard to get out. When you're surrounded by people that don't want to get out of that, it's hard to get out. Me, I would prefer to go into seclusion, process it myself, get myself in the right mindset, get myself in the right mode, and then reappear in the world okay, because then there's no outside chatter that's affecting your mindset. Now, I also am a firm believer, and this is the

14:48 part that pertains to wand is the fact that you know how long you do it, because if you seclude too long, that's negative. It's like anything else, Okay, extremes are not good. Okay. And so basically my thing is I seclude so I can shorten the term of the pain. Not because I want to seclude and be in pain. It's because I want to shorten it because the longer you let it affect your life, the more negative effect that we'll have on your life, no matter what you think. Okay. Now, if you are able to process things the proper way, in the proper amount of time, that's when the good things happen. And it's the law of attraction. The secret okay, the law of attraction is if you're around a bunch of misery and all you think about is misery, that's what you're gonna have. It's so important of vocabulary we say to ourselves because what we say we will make come true. So my comment to you one is you process it probably pretty similarly than I do. The one difference I found, which you can explain yourself, is that length.

16:04 Does you say I think? I do think it's a matter of timing because it's gonna hurt regardless. You know, the pain that you have to go through is going to be the same whether you go through it now or ten years from now. So the where you have to process it, like you know, because everyone processes things differently, Like we are kind of the same where we want to be alone process it and then get back together with other people. Some people might want the company of other people while they process it. So for us, we rather process alone and then we get back to you know, whether it is helping someone else process it or just being there physically and emotionally like with them.

16:47 That's a great point because you can't help people until you've helped yourself first. Yeah, it's kind of like the situation of like if the plane is falling and you have a kid beside you, you don't put the oxygen mask on him, right and put it on yourself, then you can help them. On What else do you want to put into the mix here, Rebel. Well, like I said, everybody has a process, and however, what you need to do in your process, you need to look at if your process is serving you and as far as everybody else goes, you can be the strongest person for everybody else. At first, you're still going to have to deal with your own self and your own feelings and emotions.

17:35 Absolutely, yep. And my point was only that it's what you do in that process that's going to determine the results positive or negative for your life and people around you. You know. I mean, perfect example, I'll take it a negative way for myself is the processing of Chad and still does. But took too long, you know. And so I didn't do a show for a long time because I did interviews still, but I didn't do a live show. Why because I didn't do the right work to be ready to jump into it now to take the other side of coin. Both when my bro passed and when my grandchild passed, we're both during times of festivals that yes, I missed part of the festival because of themediacy of it, but then I got right back on plane back to the festival because of a few reasons. Okay, So number one, just saying there commiserating is a good accomplish anything for anybody.

18:50 Okay, it's not. I don't mean being there for people or helping people, But there gets to be a point where you're just commiserating together, not helping each other sometimes, okay, And so I'll give the example of Mark I got the call I was at Louder than Life. It was the night after the first day. I flew out of town immediately, but then I came back for the last day. And I came back for the last day because A for multiple reasons. A. You know, no matter what happens in your life, life still has to go on, the bills still have to get paid, the dreams still have to be made, and you know, work in business everything. Okay, So as a perfect example, you know, even people think, well, I should be able to do this, but other people aren't.

19:51 Going to agree. So yes, everybody processes differently, but are the people in your life going to be acceptable to the way you're processing it? Is one thing too, No, not at all. Because as an example, when my youngest daughter many years ago, and you remember Rebel, when she had a brain aneurism and almost passed away literally after about a week, clients will call me, we feel bad for you, blah blah blah blah blah, but we still need to do what we need to do. And you know, basically you could call that heartless or you could call that it's just how life is. You know, the other people in your life that are not associated to negative things aren't gonna want to nor should they have their life affected by it, you know, when it comes to business, especially Okay, So I did have a job to do. I was supposed to be there, So I was there. Now was I expected to come back? No, I wasn't expected to come back.

20:59 But what happened by me coming back is it makes you look more like a professional number one, and it makes them trust you for next time, because even though they may understand, they may not trust you next time, like they may think something else will come up. It happens all the time. But now let's talk about the selfish reasons. I made a definite choice, and same thing happened with ash Okay. I ended up going to the festival the last day. But here's the thing. In both cases, you know, I went back, got the job done. But it was also for me too because instead of saying around all the severe negativity and grief, I surrounded myself in a more positive environment so I could get my mind off of it and I kept I've always escaped my personal life in work, not always the health feest thing. But it's always worked for me. And what I mean by that is as long as I buried myself in work, that's what I was focusing on and not focus on the personal part. Okay, and then sound funny, but you know Slagher played that day. I came back to riot Fest after Ashes passing, and I went into the mash pit, and every bit of anger, grief, depression, blah blah blah, all that, all the emotions that were in me, I left them in the pit. That's you know,

22:30 for those that don't know, a mash pit is not about hurting a mame in people. Is a place where you can get out all that stuff that bothers you. So that's another way of processing. Now that's not going to be everybody's way, but you gotta get the stuff. Out of you. You got to get the anger out of you, the sadness out of you, and everything else to make room for the good things. Because those people that are on the other. Side, they don't want you to be in misery, they don't want you to be so sad like that, and they want you to enjoy your life and they want you to succeed in life. And they don't want you to negatively affect your life. That being said, we always kind of feel like, oh, you know, if I do this, you know, how are people going to see it? Or or any of these other things that go through our mind that stop us from doing things. Because of the negative things in your life.

23:32 And I don't mean just grieving, there's many. So basically, you know, you still have to keep you can't totally disconnect from the world in life, or else you're going to see unbelievable destruction of your life. And that won't do good for anybody and can't help anybody. You know. But the people I have helped in my life that were going through grief or depressure, whatever it was, because I wasn't joining them. I was prepared to help them. And while you're joining them, you're not really prepared to help them because you're in the same spot that they are.

24:15 Anything to add guys. Why I agree with everything you said, Well, I definitely agree with what you're saying. But people do you need to realize that they need to do what's right for them. And I know that life has to go on. No matter what, your life still has to go on. You just need to adjust. Well, that's part of doing what's right for you too, is maybe doing the things you don't want to do during those times so you don't destroy your life. Right. But and I do have to say.

24:57 Loss can come in many ways, Okay, whether you're physically losing a person, or losing things, or going through things beyond your control like natural disasters. You can't control that, but you do need to find. Except your attitude towards. It, exact where you'll react to it. Yeah, because I have seen like people fall into alcoholism, like even after a divorce, you know, like they get so hurt by it, you know, they And that's a loss too. You know, you're losing someone that you spend so much time with and taking day out and it's kind of like losing them like from life, you know, because you cannot interact with them in the same way anymore. So I've seen it happen, and I know it can happen again. Like you just have to process through it and just get through it, get to the other side as soon as possible so you can continue with your life.

25:51 It doesn't mean you're ever over it. It just means it doesn't control your life. That's the difference, right, like a better way to get through it every day. And it's because it all comes down to emotions, right, So you just have to be you have to process it in a way where you can be emotionally in a good place for you to continue your life as normal. It's always going to hurt, you're always gonna have the memory of it, but at least you're back to normal and your life can continue in a positive matter because you know, you when you suffer a loss, no matter what kind of loss it is, you have all these like negative energy pent up inside of you and you don't know what to do with it. So it can either hurt you or you can process it and get rid of that and negative energy, fill your life with more positive energy and just keep going, you know, no fighting day after day.

26:47 No doubt. And you know, the thing is is that. Nobody's saying that you don't get sad, you don't get angry, and like you're better forever either, And like that's a misconception about people that are optimists and motivational and stuff like that. We get depressed, we get angry, we're human beings. We get sad. But that's part of why I seclude, because like that's not the image I want to show to the world. So I go into seclusion to deal with things to come have it to set a better example for the world. But not only that, but you know, the difference between somebody like myself and somebody that maybe doesn't look at it and as positive of a realm is the amount of time that it affects your life and how it affects your life.

27:47 So it could actually affect your life the rest of your life. You never never, it. Definitely does, but how it affects your life. And if you're talking about the negativity, it's my belief is you know, I get I get depressed, but it's a moment in time. It's not my whole time. Okay. Yeah, And it's okay, like a lot of people feel and understandably, so that's okay. It's not okay to be happy if you've suffered a loss, and I'm. Gonna flip that, I'm gonna flip that everything that you just said, and I'm gonna say it's okay to not be okay.

28:30 Yeah, it is okay. You know, I grew up, I grew up with the belief like everyone around me would say like, oh, like men don't cry, you know, like men don't do this, men don't do that, Like that's a woman's thing. And you know, if you're processing a loss, like it's okay to cry, like you know, it's not like, oh, because you're a man, you shouldn't cry. Like no, if that's through your way of processing. It, go for it. It's not only okay, but it's helpful. Yeah, you know. And so it is okay to not be okay. The part that maybe isn't okay is the fact of either using it for lack of a better way of playing it as an excuse, not because it's not a valid reason. There's a difference between reasons and excuses, okay.

29:14 And and. It's okay to get better, is my point. Like it's okay to it's also okay to be okay. And that happens all the time. It's like, if something happens to you people think you're like cold or stoic because you didn't act publicly a certain way. That doesn't mean you're not acting privately a certain way. Just some people maybe don't want to do it publicly. And listen, you have to cry sometimes because that's how you get over shit, and that's how you get it out.

29:54 And I grew up with the same things you grew up with. One it was hammered into it hammered into my generation one hundred percent, like suck it up. You know. I always tell people like I I'm first generation that saw you know, like the advice that I was given as a kid growing up and everything, and I saw that a lot of it was negative, and I said, you know what, I'm not going to do things that way. I'm going to change it. I see how things are, I know what's helpful. Like I'm smart enough to see through it. So whatever negativity that was taught to me as a kid, I'm not going to do it. I'm going to be the one who makes a change and teach the right way or like at least to the best of my abilities, to my next generation and the generation after that.

30:38 Absolutely, And you know the fact that it matter is is that we also do have to consider other people when we're processing. You know, there are people that have this attitude of I hate the thing, the new trend, zero fuck's given, you're an asshole, then I'll be blunt, okay, because you should have a shit to give, Okay, I mean, you know, the bottom line is it's such a blanket statement, Like I could agree with that statement on certain specific things, but just as a generic And I know people that have that total attitude about everybody and everything, and I'm sorry, you're wrong. You know, you should care about other people, you should care about the world, you should care about certain things, and.

31:31 Not at the expense of yourself. I know nobody's saying at the expense of yourself, but that's not Listen, this attitude of zero fox given is basically turning people into assholes, not about what you're saying, you know, yeah, and not about what you're saying. And that brings me to another topic I was going to talk about today. Okay, it's twenty twenty five. I was un shipwrecked when our president got an inaugurated, and I had really no connection with the outside world. It was rather nice, okay, Like, if we want to have a better world, we need to like blow up social media and technology and go back to before it happened, you know, because I mean I had no negativity while on ship rocked because I had no access to anything pretty much.

32:27 And then I come back and people are so freaking obsessed with stuff that isn't even affecting their lives or may not happen. They don't understand how things go on. Because I am a libra. I see both sides, Like, for instance, the news this morning with Mexico. Okay, so they're not gonna get tarriffed. They agreed to what Trump wanted and they're not gonna get tariff I don't know all the inside stuff about that, but if you took me before today, that's what I would think is sometimes people are doing what they have to do to negotiate, like there are certain ways to negotiate. Now. On the other hand, it could have been a dick move too, because those tariffs, guess who they're gonna They would affect Americans. That's what all these people yelling, and yeah, let's give them a terriffic Hey, you know what, guess what.

33:24 It affects you, affectects the consumer. Yes, it will help us more than affects the other countries. That's the funniest part about it. Sometimes, or when it comes to people, what you do affects yourself more than these other people. So it's kind of ridiculous. To do. But the point is is I came back and immediately people are asking me, oh, did you see why executive already signed today? He signed like fifteen hundred of them or some shit like that, And I'm like no, because I was unship rocked, and frankly, I don't care. It's not a matter of not caring. It's not a matter of not caring about my country. It's not a matter of me not caring about the American people. It's a matter of there ain't nothing I can do about it to change it. And so why should I sit there and get myself all upset or excited or whatever, because you got both sides of the fence.

34:23 The funniest part, Okay, I saw a post right before. And see where it goes. Before you're making a you know, a hesitant decision. Well, everybody's got this fear, no matter who it is. Whatever. It's like ridiculous, But here's a great one. People are the hypocrites, are the ones calling people hypocritical, Like that's what I laughed most about. And I'll tell you why. I saw posting right before the show, okay, And basically it was somebody who was undocumented from Canada and white and before President Trump got elected, they were living illegally in our country and they were screaming the loudest about the illegal immigrants, which is why some of that shit it's such bullshit. It's not illegal immigrants, it's the ones that are racist against Okay, And people may not like me saying that, but it's true because how could you be an illegal immigrant saying that and not be hypocritical? Okay, and now they's president. This person was also cheering on ice going around and checking people and deporting people. And

35:53 actually we're cheering because there's paddy wagons in the state of Florida right now to pick up people that, some of which are good, decent people that just had a bad situation. Like we have to take everything each scenario. They're not all rapists, they're not all drug addicts. And the funniest part is some of these people I see posting this stuff, I know are drug addicts. Like the hypocrisy is unbelievable to me. Now, do I think that people should attempt to get legal citizenship, of course I do.

36:36 But I don't think that we should turn into Nazi Germany and start just expelling everybody that doesn't look like us. That's you're not a matter of I mean, I sit on the fence with this. Okay, wait, wait, wait before you continue. We're just getting the viewpoint in Louisiana right now. Okay, go ahead, It's not just. A viewpoint of Louisiana. But if everybody stop to think, I don't mind people being in this country. I don't mind people. Switching over to be but there's people that came before you that did it the right way and became a legal citizen. Do it the right way like the US trouble. Wait wait, wait wait, I agree with you, and I said that, but this country was founded on illegal immigrants taking the country from the legal people. And those are the same people that are screaming the people that are those type of people.

37:35 And you have to think about it this way too, Right, Like this country is about what two hundred and fifty years old. That's like four generations worth, right, So someone's great great grandpa was like one of the first people to come here. It's not that far away, right, So it it hasn't been you know, passed down for a long time generation important? Do you know rebel that they are talking about and screaming about deporting the Native of Americans. Yep, Okay, that's the hypocrisy I'm talking about right there. They are the only native people. The rest of us are all immigrants.

38:17 Okay. And see that's where you got to watch the wording and things. And I've heard a lot about the stuff that have been signed and everything. I mean, just somebody said, just because you're born here. Doesn't mean you're American. Yes, it does. It's it when you're born here, you are an American citizen. If your parents aren't American citizens, well they're not American citizens and they need to get their paperwork straight and become an American citizen. And I believe separate people. It doesn't mean the kid, the baby needs to say here and those people go back.

38:58 And supporting people like their animals. Okay, yeah, everybody to the individual circumstance. I think. I think the biggest problem. I think the biggest problem is like they have a quota now that they have to meet, they have to deport certain people like every day. And there was this case that came out of I think it was New Jersey where Ice arrested US citizens who were born here. Yeah. I don't know if they took them, they took. Them to the to the dention center and everything like, come on, like, the process could be better.

39:40 That's right, the process should be better. They shouldn't have said, oh, well, all you bunny hunters and all you people who want to make money, come and join, and we're gonna give you a badge, a gun. Give you an example of one of the people I'm talking about. That's hypocritical. I have a friend that lived here most of his life, I would say about sixty five years of his seventy some odd year life, never applied for citizenship ever, ever lived in this country. Way way wait wait wait, lived in this country, got all the benefits, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Okay, when Trump and Hillary were getting, you know, going for president, that was when he decided to go for citizenships so he could vote against Trump. That was the only reason in his seventy seven seventy some odd years of life that he decided it was important to become a US citizen while living here. And so that's the problem I have, is that type of thing, because and I said it straight to him. So I'm not saying like I'm sorry.

41:03 You shouldn't be given citizenship just so you can vote against somebody after living off of this country for all. These years, right, But I mean I don't. But that's what people aren't talking about. That's my point is he's white. He's white. By the way, how many white people are getting deported right now? There's plenty of illegal aliens in this country that are white. How many are being deported right now? Can anybody tell me? No, no, no, I don't work there. I don't know, but most people can tell you how made are deporting they're not white because they're all cheering it on. Well, see that shows the humanity or lack thereof human behavior.

41:48 Now I've seen video after video about these people doing stupid shit. Well, first of all, got round up the people who are in jail and are illegally here, because if they're in jail, that means they did something than they wasn't supposed to do. Okay, and I'm not talking something stupid, but hey, you better mind. It's just like the rest of them stupid. Maybe they're in jail wrongly. What what Okay, let me put us an area out there, like what if for some reason, an illegal immigrant is sleeping in his house, next to his wife, kids next door next in the other room, someone breaks in, he has to defend his house. In the process of defending his house, he kills someone. What would happen to them?

42:31 It's gonna be the same thing that happens to everyone else here. If you kill someone that broke in your. Criminal now everyone else won't get deported. He will. Yeah, I understand that would that be how long has he been living here? No? But how long? Wait? Wait, let's think about this. How long has him and his family been living here illegally? When it's easy to start the process on the paper? Have you ever gone through it? I know it's not easy. Do you know that the United States is one of the hardest countries in the whole world to get citizenship? Too? I think it depends for like each country is different.

43:13 But I know, especially because like I have friends and family who have gone through the process. For Mexicans, you usually text about like twenty years. Yeah. See, that's the point. People are educating. And the thing is, it doesn't matter if it's started. Don't deport you in then yeah you'll wait like, well, then let me give you, let me give you an example, one of the most liberal countries in the whole world, the Netherlands. It's virtually. Impossible for American to get citizenship there. And if you do get citizenship, you still don't get the same rights as a Dutch person. You don't get the same rights to own a business or anything like that. We are, you know, the ones that make it very difficult, okay for Americans.

44:09 But no, we had out money to immigrants and say here, start a business, do this. Okay, but here's a lot of that stuff is political rhetoric. How do you know what's really true? And that's only a reason too. Like the whole thing with like the Venezuelans who were like in in the hotels where they got a card where they were putting money in there like every month. All that stopped already with Trump, like that was all like recent, like it hasn't been going on before the last administration, Like that was never heard of before. No, it was, it's been like that since a long time.

44:49 Well actually, but before that, before that, they kept getting pages not in hotels. No, okay, And here's the thing, we need to come here the you know that money left. You can get a bunch of stuff. Tool, Yes you can. The difference between Americans that say this stuff and people that are not Americans is those people come from a much rougher life that they come here and they were willing to do whatever it takes to, you know, get the American dream. Most Americans are not. Do you know how many thousands and thousands of grant opportunities there are for American white people.

45:33 M lots you want, if you want, if you want different, a slightly different perspective. Let me just say this, some illegal immigrants have to work on it because you cannot get a job without a Social Security number. So some of them have a fake Social Security number. So they're still contributing to you know, Social Security, to retirement whatever, but they cannot claim those because they're not real citizens, right, So they're still contributing to it, but they cannot benefit from it. Another thing is I grew up in the town. I grew up in the town of agriculture. People are always like worried about, like, oh, who's gonna pick your apples, who's gonna pick your strawberries, who's gonna pick you know whatever? The way the companies work. Now, hold on, hold on the way the companies work is they don't hire illegal immigrants.

46:20 They go to other countries, they hire like three hundred to six hundred people from those countries. They bring them to the United States just for the season. They work the field, and then after the season's over it they take them back. Yep, that's legal, but Americans are not doing it. As to say owner, that is not going to change. As a business owrer, I can verify some of the things he's saying that as a business owner. Most of these illegal immigrants are working are legal because they get promised by these business owners all this stuff, but then don't follow through and get and get them the visas or the CIS ship and when they're done with them, they just spit them back.

47:03 So slaves in other words. No, they still they're getting paid, maybe not as much as like you know someone, I mean, if if you put Americans in the field, they're gonna ask for a union right away. But you know, for them, it's they're getting paid above market for what they would make in their countries. So they still see it as like it's worth going to the United States to work for the season. They make some money, take it back home, you know, rest for a couple of months. Next year, take up another contract, come back again. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with those people. I'm saying America's treating them my slaves. They'll work for cheaper they won't, they won't. Yeah, but Americans doing it because then they're gonna punish it.

47:48 That's what I'm saying. It's do this, But that's those are some of the people that are getting deported right now. That's my point. My point that now, I'm not saying anything either way. What I'm saying is we don't know each individual's story. Were making blanket statements. Listen, there are people I know in this country that are legally in this country. They weren't always legally in this country, but they were legal in this country that came somewhere else that their life conditions were million times worse than the poorest person here in the United States, and they achieved the American dream. They came at nothing and built huge businesses that hire American people, that helped fuel the economy. Why would those people be deported? They're the ones who do it, but they are some of them.

48:40 Did they come here legally and get that way? That's what I'm asking say, we need to hold our. Government offices officially accountable for their action. We're supposed to be in America, land of the free, home and to brave. That doesn't mean deporting people everywhere. It doesn't mean not letting people in. It doesn't mean allowing people to go and ambush and hurt people in our capital. Like these are things that people are cheering on that I think was third world. I'm not saying you, I'm just saying in general, these are things being cheered on that people are not really They're just being part of a team. They're not really knowing why they're cheering, or they're not knowing the specifics. Every story is different.

49:33 And you know how many American people are not legal right now, Like that are Americans. They may be documented, but they're not paying their freaking taxes. They're not filing taxes. They're taking There's people that collect unemployment and work under the table cash. There's people that sit there and take disability when they're not disabled, and there's people that take food stamps. Like Murricans are way more. Uh. Way more abusing the system than illegals are a lot of the time. That's why the system. You're right, but a lot of these people, a lot of these people are here legally on a work permit which they have to renew like every two years. You have to literally pay for the right to pay taxes.

50:25 Yeah, exactly, I know. But see, that's that's the problem. Our systems need to be reworked. I didn't say don't have people. I said make it easier. To get legal. We'll talk about this more, okay, because it's a good discussion to talk about, and I want to hear all sides, like, because that's the point. None of us know all the sides. Most of us don't even know what's really going on. But my biggest point of this is is most of this stuff doesn't affect the the everyday person in the United States that they the way they think it does. Okay, Now, somebody like wand he's affected because it's affected his family.

51:11 But I can tell you anything that's happened during the Biden administration or during the Trump administration has not personally affected my life. In any way. However, some things may tariffs may it may, you know, because basically you do know that doing these tariffs is basically the destruction of small business in America, and that's what America is about, is small business. Small business will not be able to survive these tariffs, but that may not happen. So my viewpoint is I don't worry about something until it's actually going to affect my life, because it may never affect my life. And I think people getting so angry and so attacking and so defensive and so miserable about things that that are not directly affecting their life in any way, shape or form, should really reevaluate where their focus is and maybe focus on something positive to make their life better. What I'm doing in this scenario is I'm doing things within my business to be able to accomplish still my goals despite what happens.

52:24 Same with COVID. We thrived during COVID why because of my attitude towards COVID and my attitude as it being an opportunity instead of a disadvantage. And that's the point when I get across everybody for twenty twenty five is forget everything that's going on. Focus on yourself. I'm mean, focus on yourself where it's against anybody else. Just focus on how it affects your life, and you just do you, and you look forward and you make the best of the situation. Because we can't change who's present. We can't change tariffs, we can't change immigration right this second. We can't change any of that right this second. But we can change our own trajectory of our life and have fun and be excited about it. Like I talk to people like I talk to a woman recently, like she's like, I'm a political junkie. I'm like, well, then we're not a match because that makes zero sense to me to be a political junkie. Be informed. But what you're telling me, Listen, I had a date recently. We're the person talked for the first hour of the date about the COVID lockdown.

53:34 Dude, that's the past. Now we're going in the beginning of the show. Let it go. It's not affecting our life right now. Okay, let it go. Move on. It sucked, it happened. There's good things, there's bad things. But we're in twenty twenty five and we all can have a majorly better life. It's up to us. It's up to our attitude, and we got to get back to being united and positive and helping each other and being human. Being, and that's what's gonna make twenty twenty five better. And I want that for both of you. Two. Thank you, Thank you, even if you are from Louisiana. I couldn't resist. I'm sorry. I love Rebel even if she is from Louisiana. But you know what, We're all gonna make it great. And we need to all put out positive stuff out there, and everybody stop falling for the oldest trick in the book, divide and conquer. None of these major leaders around the world give two shits about any one of us. They are all on the same team. And it's not mine. I don't care, Democrat, Republican, Russian, whatever, it doesn't matter. And we need to look out for ourselves.

54:45 We need to look out for one race, the human race. Tune in tomorrow, same BAT channel, same BAT time, W four Cyradio, W fourcy dot com, one pm Eastern Time tomorrow. It's not gonna be so heated because it's going to be travel Tuesday, and we're going to talk about ship rocked more and we're going to talk about traveling, but we will talk about differences we see in the world that perspective, because that's what I've learned in life perspective being here or being in another country. And you know what, when you go to these other countries, you see things, sometimes a different way. Sometimes you don't. But we see real life and we're going to travel tomorrow and Tuesday on the Adventures of pipe Man.

55:28 Roll it one. Thank you for listening to the Adventures of Pipe Man on w for CUI Radio.
