And obviously I did take more risks, right? Because, hey, it's just me, whatever. I get hit by a bus, who cares? Nobody's counting on me.
And then once you have kids, now instantly in my mind, all of my money now belongs to him because I know it's going to get left to him at some point. All of my businesses now belong to him.
All of my real estate, all my property. All right, guys, someone I've known for a long time on social media, Tony Delgado.
Thanks for coming on today, man. Thanks for having me, man.
Yeah. We probably chatted for, what, seven, eight years now? Yeah, man.
It's been inspiring watching both of each other grow through the years. And we're here for funnel hacking here in Vegas.
And it's kind of like the freshman school yearbook of all these entrepreneurs. And it's like, oh, yeah, I remember when you were selling lemonade.
Now you're driving a Ferrari. But yeah.
Yeah, it's been cool to see who made it. And then a lot of people did not make it, man.
Yeah. But it's been cool to see like who really toughed it out.
Yeah, who give up right i was speaking to an entrepreneur friend of mine uh just yesterday and uh uh shark tank the um daemon from shark tank goes to him and he's been trying to get him to invest for years and he says listen you're actually the right man for the job because you're actually still at it so it says a lot you know what um back when we were running the startup accelerator with Gerard Adams, there were so many different companies that came and got investment from us, came through our accelerator program. And when I looked through that roster, there's maybe one or two of them that hit it really big, but there are just so many people that gave up.
Yeah. It's like VC investing one out of a hundred, right? Yeah.
Yeah. You have to have it.
I mean, it's, it's grit. There's some people that say that you can teach entrepreneurship and, um, you can teach skills.
You, you can teach sales and marketing and things to, uh, get you to the next level. But I do think that there are just some people that are actually born entrepreneurs.
I think it's a big part of it. And I think it comes from environment.
Well, and that's why you'll see a lot of entrepreneurs came up with really hard backgrounds, kind of like myself. It's like, for me, entrepreneurship wasn't a choice.
I mean, I was an entrepreneur before it was a thing, before Gary V made it cool and all these people. Yeah.
You used to get bullied for it. Now it's like, yeah, now it's the hot thing.
Yeah. Now it's the hot, cool thing.
Well, in Spanish, the word actually still has a negative connotation. It almost means you're a loser.
Really? Yeah, entrepreneur is like synonymous with being unemployed. It's like unemployed and trying to figure it out.
What's the word for entrepreneurship in Spanish? Entrepreneurista. I'm messing it up.
But the word in Spanish, and they're doing conferences and stuff all throughout Latin America right now with it. They're trying to change the stereotype around it, right? So it's still a word, but it has a negative connotation.
Like basically you're unemployed. Wow, that's crazy.
And I know you're big on the Latin American community. Your whole company called Latino Wall Street is about that, right? Serving them.
Yeah. So we started the company after Hurricane Maria struck the island of Puerto Rico.
I was born and raised in New York City, but my family on my father's side was from Puerto Rico. I used to go to Puerto Rico as a kid.
My grandfather was from Arecibo, which is a small town, maybe two hours from the capital.
And I always fell in love with the island. And then he passed away.
We stopped going. And then when Hurricane Maria happened, I knew that I wanted to go back and give back to my community.
So we went down there with a bunch of crazy entrepreneurs, giving out solar panel lights, food, water, supplies, whatever we could, knocking on people's doors. And then I realized that it was the people with no money and no resources that got hit the worst, right? If you had a lot of money, you know, you either had JetBlue money or you had FU money, right? You had enough money to at least get out of JetBlue, go to Orlando, go to New York, go to someplace safe, and weather the storm that way.
Or you had so much money that it was like, I don't care. I have a big, strong house.
The hurricane is not going to affect me. If there's no power, no water, you know, I'll go to Europe or I'll go to Miami for a couple of months and I'll come back when things are fixed or I'll put a bunch of money into a backup generator to fix it.
And it was really the people that had no money, no resources that got hit the worst. But then I realized that they had the same internet connection that I did.
Right. I was funny story.
I was in a province, Copatiles, and we go to give solar panel lights. We had these small little solar panel lights that gives you a nightlight.
So people that don't know, Hurricane Maria is the largest black on American history. Some people six months, some people a year.
Some people are still waiting. They don't have electricity.
And what happens is when you don't have electricity, now your water is not being pumped properly. Now your water is coming out of your faucet dirty.

Your traffic lights don't work. There's traffic jams.
There's all these, it's like a domino effect of problems that happen. And so Puerto Rico created all of these problems after the hurricane, had all these problems after the hurricane.
And I'm in this small province. We're giving out these solar panel lights and water and we brought food and brought pizza and all this stuff to these kids who were still without power, right? And we're coming back and I look into one of the stores and as I'm picking up all these boxes of pizza to go bring them to the school, there's a guy from Freema just sitting there eating the pizza, hanging out, not doing nothing.
And I was like, oh, wow. Isn't that synonymous of what's going on here? You know, you have these big government contracts, these big government employees, all this wasteful government spending, you know, billions of dollars that got sent to the island by President Trump to try to fix things.
But a lot of that money got mismanaged, right? A lot of that money didn't go exactly where it needed to go. And then we were in another town not too far.
And there was a small house at the top of a mountain and it's like a dirt road you got to drive up and we're driving up in our truck and we're like a little scared because it's dangerous I mean there was all this rainfall and mudslides and I get to the top of the mountain we give them the supplies they're so happy right and then all of a sudden my phone rings and it's a FaceTime call and I pick it up. And I'm talking to someone about business back in New York.
And I was like, wait a second. If I can take a business call from the top of this mountain and this is how I make money, well, then this family could be making, you know, hypothetically, the same amount of money as I am because they have the same internet.
They have the same Wi-fi uh so that's when we came up with the concept wi-fi and a dream uh is all you
need to succeed we started hosting seminars and workshops uh in puerto rico and then when i met
my wife my vision expanded from just the 300 uh the the three million people in puerto rico to
400 million latinos all around the world um and so today we've done events in miami new york
Thank you. the 3 million people in Puerto Rico to 400 million Latinos all around the world.
And so today we've done events in Miami, New York, Peru, Columbia, Puerto Rico, obviously Panama and all throughout Latin America, you know, preaching that same thing that, you know, the disconnect between financial freedom and is financial literacy, right? If you don't have the information, then you're not going to be equipped with what you need to succeed. Right.
And a lot of them didn't have that information, right? No, yeah. I mean, they don't teach these things in school anyway, but the schools in Latin America are even more behind, especially the public schools.
They're defunding public schools and they're selling them in Puerto Rico. And kids that used to be able to go and walk down the street and go to a school, they're now telling them, hey, you got to go five miles, you got to go 10 miles, or you can take this class on Zoom.
So there's a really big under education problem that's happening. But I mean, just think about it.
You went to school where? New Jersey, New York? Jersey. So did they teach you about taxes? Hell no.
Did they teach you how to sign a check? Nope. Did they teach you about mortgage rates? Did they teach you about any of the wealth building tools that you now know as an entrepreneur? Like, no, these things are not being taught, dude.
And so imagine what you can do if you teach a kid these things. So we recently launched a foundation, Wall Street Kids.
And one of the projects that we're taking on now is taking kids from the inner city, from all throughout the United States and Latin America, and bringing them to the floor of the New York Stock Exchange so they can see a glimpse, right? They can just see 5% of what could be possible, right? And kind of light that fire in a young kid's's eyes because when i grew up there there wasn't there wasn't a silicon valley in new york city that being in tech wasn't cool they would call you a nerd you get picked on for being smart you get picked on for actually um trying to better yourself right turn on the radio what do you hear? Look at the rap songs. They fantasize and fetishize sex, drugs, and rock and roll, right? It's all about making money.
It's about cheating on your wife, making money in the most illegal ways, right? And the hypocritical part about it is a lot of these guys, these rappers, they're not making money from the things they're talking about. They're making money on tour.
They're making money with merch. They're making money with all these other things, streaming and advertising and marketing, but they're not actually making money doing the things that they're telling young people to do.
So the biggest piece of advice that I have for young people, if they really want to change their lives is to turn off the TV, turn off the radio, stop, be very intentional with the things that you're putting in your brain because honestly, we're poisoning a lot of these kids' minds. Absolutely.
And Spanish music, the reggaeton is just as bad, man. Oh, I didn't know that.
It's worse. Wow.
Yeah, the reggaeton, now some of it's beautiful and romantic and you have your bachata, but a lot of the actual hardcore reggaeton is really, really degenerative against women. It's promoting sex, drugs, violence, right? And a lot of the reggaeton artists that I know, a lot of them are becoming Christian and I'm becoming born again and actually repenting and saying, oh my God, I poisoned the youth in so many ways.
And now I want to give my life to God and actually repent and let the world know that I'm saved again. Wow.
The more I look into music, the more I realize how powerful it is. It's a liminal program.
I don't listen to what I used to listen to, man. I can tell you that.
You can't. I mean, you have to be really, really intentional.
It's brainwashing. you know? One of the people that, and you can brainwash yourself in a positive way or a negative way, right? So when I first started in entrepreneurship and business, I used to brainwash myself with positive things.
podcasts uh affirmations um people like cardone obviously obviously people like people who even are not with us anymore right some of the Napoleon Hill and some of the greats that studied entrepreneurship and studied business and maybe they're not here anymore maybe their lessons don't apply perfectly but you can get a glimpse into what they were thinking in those moments and i immediately stopped listening to all music with lyrics right because if there's lyrics there's programming wow right so that's deep even without lyrics there's certain frequencies that they can manipulate it's it's a whole nother level man yeah yeah you got to be careful what you listen to. But for me, that was a game changer once I stopped listening to hip hop and rap because I used to love that.
Yeah, of course. Yeah, I mean, that's part of the culture.
Yeah. But the culture, we have to be aware that it's designed to entrap us.
It's designed to enslave us. And a lot of these things, they're not positive.
You know, you're listening to this song and it has a good beat and you're like oh yeah uh you know i i love bad uh bitching that's my fucking problem right and then you're driving down and then all of a sudden you meet your wife for dinner or your girlfriend for dinner and you're treating her like a bitch in a hole because you've been listening to this song on the way to go see her right um so you gotta be got to be careful, man. Yeah.
I know you just had a ball in D.C. a few weeks ago, right? Latino ball.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
We hosted the biggest Hispanic inauguration ball in history, I believe. Over 2000 people there.
I mean, we literally had Miss Universe on the red carpet. Wow.
Every single news station. Jimmy Kimmel ended up picking it up, Fox News, nationally syndicated all over.
And yeah, it was a good time. Because there was a lot of balls, man.
You were competing with a lot of people. Well, we were competing with a lot of people with big money.
So for a bunch of Latino kids to pull it off, I think we did pretty good. That just shows the strength of the Latino community, right? Yeah.
I mean, we've definitely seen a huge shift in the political narrative from Latinos being told to sort of vote blue no matter who to really embracing conservatism. And, you know, the Latinos for Trump movement was obviously big in 2016.
That's obviously how he got elected the first time. But this year, this year, we were really historic in the amount of support.
And it really felt like Mardi Gras. I mean, people were so happy.
That was even my Democrat friends are like, you know, obviously our side didn't win, but at least you guys just seem so happy. It feels like Mardi Gras.
Everyone has a big weight was lifted off of everyone's shoulders. And it's, it's magical, man.
We had Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Come to our conference. We had President Malay of Argentina.
Wow. Who we initially met at Mar-a-Lago when he met with Trump, and they started working on this make the Americas great again.
How can we forge partnerships between the United States and the rest of Latin America so that we can increase the economy and increase the strength of all of our nations, right? We don't want to have a world where there's no nations, right? That's bad. A weak Latin America is actually bad for the United States because what's happening in certain places is China's taking over, right? Anywhere where there's a weak economy, a weak government, if there's an ability for things to be destabilized, well, then China or Russia or any of our competitors are going to come in and they're right there on our on our borders right um so a strong latin america is good for a strong america i love that man why do you think so many latin americans switched over to conservative before because i previously they were a democrat right they leaned that way yeah yeah definitely um believe it or not one of the the big factors was actually the border.
And you would think it would be the other way around. But over the last four years, we've had this massive open border with Biden.
We've had massive, massive, massive illegal immigration, like completely unchecked. And the Democrats thought, this is great.
We're going to win the Latino vote. We're going to leave the border open.
We're going to let everybody in and they're just going to love us for it. And the Latinos that are here are like, whoa, wait, no, there's actually some bad people over there.
That's why we left, right? Like we don't want the cartels coming here. Like the whole reason that Hispanics, Hispanics come to the United States and immigrate here legally.
And there's 50 million Latinos in the United States who immigrated here legally, who are U S citizens, who pay their taxes, who follow the rules, who go to work every day and live the American dream. And that's why they came here.
They came here for the American dream, not the San Francisco nightmare. They don't want to go and see the same cartels that they just escaped in their backyard.
They don't feel safe. They want to raise their families in peace.
And I think another factor is Christian conservative values. Again, Latinos are naturally conservative or naturally Christian.
50% are Catholic. 75% or 77% are Christian.
We don't believe in insanity. We don't believe in sin, right? The 10 commandments, very basic precedents that our country was founded on, that civilization was founded on, right? And so to see the left go so far left, you know, I was a Democrat.
To see the left go so far left, they basically left the country. They left the building.
Yeah, it was nuts. Yeah, I grew up Democrat in Jersey.
You said you grew up in New York, right? I grew up in New York and New Jersey. Yeah, good old Jersey, man.
Yeah, Jersey boys. Yeah, what city were you in in Jersey? Yeah, I was born in Hoboken, New Jersey.
Oh. Birthplace of Frank Sinatra.
I lived in Jersey City for a bit. Yeah.
Yeah. Jersey City and Hoboken have come a long way.
Yeah, it was really bad. When we were growing up, those were the worst places.
Those were the hoods, yeah. Yeah, those were the hoods.
And now it's gorgeous. It's going through a renaissance for sure.
Although it's starting to get a little sketchy again. But you have people like Eric Adams who are now coming back to the table and saying, wait, this whole immigration thing, I think we're going to have to dial it back a little bit.
I really knew there was a shift when I went to the Trump rally, right? So in Madison Square Garden. That was a big one.
Yeah. So that was my first Trump rally.
Really? Yeah. I'd never been to a Trump rally.
I always liked Trump, right? But I was very apolitical, to be honest with you. My feelings in 2016 and even in 2017 and 18 during Hurricane Maria were like, listen, the government needs to just get out of the way.
The government's not good at anything, okay? They're obviously mismanaging all of this money. We need the private sector.
We need entrepreneurs to come in. So when we started our movement, it wasn't about, hey, government, you need to save us.
It was like, no, government, get out of the way and let entrepreneurs come in and make a positive impact.
And if you look at what happened on the ground, I mean, I think it was individual nonprofits and entrepreneurs and business owners did a lot more good during those national disasters than the government ever could. Wow.
Does FEMA give any money to those Hurricane families? No. I mean, so we partnered up with an NGO that was a former military who basically set up a camp.
You know, they're military. They know how to set up camps.
They set up this camp. And now they're going and fighting with FEMA to get supplies because they're like, guys, supplies are sitting there.
You're not giving them out. Please give them to us and we will give them out.
And so they were fighting with FEMA and getting them. But since they're military, they were able to get them to cooperate slightly.
And that's how a lot of the supplies were getting distributed. But the government, they found warehouses all throughout Puerto Rico with all these supplies years later, bottles of water that had went bad in the sun because they melted because they were basically hoarding these resources and not distributing in times of need.
That's crazy. Yeah, it's disgusting.
And now a lot of that's getting exposed with the USAID stuff. Yeah, with the USAID and with Doge and with Elon Musk.
Yeah, they're going and they're exposing a lot of this stuff. But this is what politicians have been doing for years.
They've been enriching themselves. So my big thing, the reason I was really excited about this administration was because it wasn't about Democrats or Republicans.
You had Robert F. Kennedy Jr., you had Tulsi Gabbard, you had all these lifelong, Elon Musk, all these lifelong Democrats who are like, no, we just want to make America great again.
And then you had Trump in the middle. Now Trump's a tough guy, but he's also rich.
So when someone's rich, they're a little bit harder to manipulate. Now you can still manipulate them, but the price is a lot higher, right? It's going to be a lot higher to pay off Trump than it is to pay off the average politician.
And, you know, at the end of the day, what does he really care about at this point in his life? He cares more about his legacy than he cares about some sort of short-term financial gain. Now, yes, is he still wildly successful in business? Yeah, sure.
Is he still going to do things to grow his wealth of course he is but his main uh goal at this point in his life is growing his legacy and so when i saw him this time around um partner with people like kennedy we were working for the kennedy campaign and uh what were you doing for them we were running their hispanic outreach. Oh, nice.
So we invited Kennedy to speak at our annual conference. So Latino Wall Street, we host conferences every year.
We have this big conference in Miami. And at that point in time, Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. was running as an independent candidate for president.
They were not allowing him on the debate stage. They were not allowing him to debate Biden.
They were not allowing him to debate Trump. They were not allowing him to primary Biden and say, hey, as a Democrat, I think we have a better option than Biden.
There's actually someone that's coherent that can string a sentence together. And they were not allowing that.
They were pretending like Biden was going to be the candidate when they knew all along that it was Kamala Harris that they wanted to install? And so at this point in the game, he's sort of being shadow banned by the mainstream media, but wildly popular on social media, right? Tons of millions and millions of views on all these videos he's putting out, right? He's putting out more content than Gary Vee. It was crazy.
And we invited him to our annual conference, and we also invited the other presidential candidates and Robert F.
Kennedy a day before the event finally confirmed so we're going back and forth with his team and we're you know we kind of know that he's going to speak but we can't really announce it right he has to have his secret service go through and check our venue it was in the Miami Dade College and after we the green light, he comes and he shows up to the event and our audience is blown away. He does half the speech in Spanish, half in English.
Wow. No one knew this.
No one knew he spoke Spanish. He spoke both languages.
He talks about how he was arrested in Puerto Rico protesting for humanitarian rights in the early 2000s, 20 years ago. It's like, wow, nobody ever knew this.
And half the people in the audience, because again, I couldn't announce it until the day before, they didn't come to see him. They came to see us.
So when they meet this guy, they're like, oh my God, I didn't even know he was running for president, but now I'm voting for you and anything that you need. I'm here.
I didn't know. I thought I only had two choices.
There's a third choice. This is amazing.
And, um, and so all of the Latino wall street community, which is large, we have a hundred, uh, and, uh, 50,000 students in our community, uh, 20 million plus, uh, people who watch our stuff on social media every month. I mean, it's a really big community, and they all just fell in love with him.
They gravitated towards him. And so when that happened, we kept working with his team.
We started doing these virtual town halls that we call Latino town halls with him and asking about all these different issues. And it's funny, I'm on an IG live with him, and he tells me, you have my phone number now, and you'll have my phone number when I'm in the White House.
And I'm thinking to myself, dude, I don't have your phone number. What are you talking about? And then right after the IG Live is over, bing, we get the text message.
He's like, yo, here's my number. Wow.
That's dope, dude. Yeah.
He just got confirmed, right? Yeah, he's in the process. Yeah.
I think he just got confirmed for the first round and the second round's happening this week. Let's go.
And make America healthy again, man. I love it.
So we were working with him kind of from the outside and just as supporters, fans, et cetera. And then his campaign asked us to run Hispanic Outreach.
So we ran ran Hispanic outreach for a short period of time before the Trump endorsement. And we all kind of knew there was something with Trump happening, right? It was even rumored at that point that he might be the VP pick, which would have been really cool as well.
But then when he moved over to Trump, there was something very special that happened because party lines kind of disappeared. And it was everyone coming together and saying, okay, forget about our differences.
What are our similarities? What do we have in common? Well, we have in common, we want to protect our children's health. We have in common, we want to protect our country's prosperity.
Right? We have in common, we want safe streets. Right? We have all these things in common.
Why don't we work together? And that's why I say, you know, the Trump movement, the MAGA movement, it's really not Democrat or Republican. It's really the new patriot movement.
Republicans, that's Nikki Haley, that's George Bush, and none of those people like Trump. Those are not Trump people.
You know, this is really a movement of innovative, disruptive people who are trying to come into politics, shake it up, and do something new. Absolutely.
And again, like Elon Musk. Are you going to bribe Elon Musk? How are you going to bribe him? He has more money in the world.
He could quit doing everything right now and be on a yacht, and he never has talk to us ever again. He's out there doing what he thinks is best for the family, for his future generation, for his family, for his kids.
He's also a minimalist too so it'd be hard to bribe him with anything materialistic. Yeah, exactly.
Exactly. Like what would he want? He doesn't even own a house.
Isn't that crazy? He's one of the richest men on the planet, no house. It's crazy.
Yeah, he goes against the grain. Shout out to Elon.
Yeah. We're going to end up on Mars one day, aren't we? I think so.
I think so. A US flag on Mars, hopefully.
Yeah. Would you ever go in space? Nah.
It's too risky, right? I'm here with my son, yeah. Yeah.
Once you got kids. I mean, I might go up into orbit.
I don't know if I'm leaving orbit. I think Richard Branson did that, right? Yeah, I might do one of those at some point.
I feel like when you have kids, you take less risks, right? Well, no, when you have kids, your whole life changes. The whole way, and it sounds so cliche, but the whole way you think about money, the way you think about business, the way you think about life, everything now becomes second generational, just by and so before i had my son everything i was thinking about was myself it was me yes how much money do i need for me uh what do i need for my brand what do i need to protect myself um and obviously i did take more risks right because hey it's just me whatever i get hit by a bus who cares nobody's counting on me um and then once you have kids now instantly in my mind all of my money now belongs to him because i know it's going to get left to him at some point all of my businesses now belong to him all my real estate all my properties all my vehicles like everything that i own now is somehow going to be his one day.
And instantly, I don't know if this happens to everybody, but instantly I started thinking about how do I leave a legacy for my son? And, uh, and yeah, we named them Zeus. He's three little champion.
And that's a great name. Yeah.
Yeah. I was just thinking about, you know, you show up to a board meeting, you're like, well, what's your name? Zeus zeus is here guys you need a powerful name as a man yeah i think that's important well being a man is really hard in this in this uh new generation i mean it's we've been taught over the last decade or two that being strong is evil that masculinity is toxic and all these things and um i think nothing could from the truth.
Um, I think you can be strong and fair. I think that you can be, um, masculine and still have humility.
Um, I think that you can be tough and, uh, still have a good heart. And so I think we need to get back to that, like tough guys that actually have integrity.
If you turn on the TV tv the only tough guys are the bad guys and they're evil that's so true actually the programming in hollywood is nuts they either make the husband like a stupid guy or like a tough criminal yeah or a tough criminal he's beating her up he's using his strength to be yeah or like a stupid nice guy yeah or like the wife controls the relationship yeah that's what i've noticed too it's really bad um that's why i knew i wanted to marry my wife when she didn't watch any tv like no it's like no programming yeah no program where's she from peru yeah i feel like an american has been so like they're just exposed i'm not trying to hate on them just exposed to so much like television, Disney stuff, movies. Reality shows.
Reality shows, public school.
It's bad.
Yeah.
Really bad.
And that's the thing.
We need to fix our culture.
So a lot of these like conservative values that, you know, we believe in, we need to fix them from a cultural standpoint.
It's not that we need to pass a law and say like, you could only have sex with your husband and that's it. And if not, we chop off your head like you're in Saudi Arabia.
Like, no, that's not what we need to do. We need to make it culturally the most honorable thing that someone can do is to have a family and raise a family and be faithful to your wife and all those different types of things.
Well, right now with the fertility rate and we're not populating fast enough, basically we're depopulating. I've seen Elon Musk talk about this.
It's pretty concerning for the future of our country if we keep down this route. Yeah, no, it's really, really scary.
I mean, and if you think about, you know, the whole gay and trans thing and all that weird stuff, I mean, listen, different sexually orientations i don't think that someone should throw a rock at you or make fun of you or pick on anyone or bully anyone i'm totally against all that stuff um but if you just think scientifically you're gonna depopulate the earth if everyone's gay then nobody's having kids right and then you're depopulating the earth. So it is a form of population control.
It's a form of trying to suppress the procreation of the masses. And how do you control people? Well, you control people with media.
And that's why platforms like yours are so important because you're giving a voice to a different narrative that maybe isn't told. Well, that's why Trump won alternative media.
I don't think he would have won without it. No.
Would have been hard. No, it was crazy.
This was the podcast presidency for sure. While we were in inauguration, Spotify hosted this private party for influencers and we're there.
And I'm with Patrick McDavid., I'm with Gerard Adams and with all these bad-asses. And literally they said it, this is the podcast election.
And they were so proud that Joe Rogan and, um, Lex Friedman, Lex Friedman. And, uh, who's the hillbilly guy? Theo Vaughn.
Theo Vaughn. Yeah.
He crushed it. Nelk Boys.
Nelk Boys. They changed the freaking narrative.
They gave a voice to, it's not only a voice, because people will say that, oh, well, don't platform this person or whatever. The long form content, like allowing someone to actually speak and get their point across is so powerful.
It's so important, right? Like if you just listen to a clip of Trump, right? Or, or if Trump is at these debates that are just so heavily moderated to the point that he's having to now debate all of the different, um, uh, all the different moderators instead of actually moderating they're debating him right those conversations that he's having at those they're so superficial because you don't even have any time to think yeah you don't have any time to formulate your thoughts right and and i've done fox news and i've done that media and it's it's very empty you know you got 30 seconds or something to make your point. And then if not, they're cutting your mic off.
They're talking over you. And it's really not a good place to be if you're trying to become the president.
And I'm trying to actually understand what the president's going to do. A 30-second soundbite isn't enough time.
Yeah. It's not in a relaxed environment.
They'll never fully open up on that sort of setting. But a podcast, you know, you'll get life stories.
Yeah. No.
And you'll never really know what they really think, which is what's happened for years. Right.
Years. We just saw our presidents, uh, through a bubble called the television and whatever was in that bubble, we felt was the truth.
And I think now with social media, um, we've been able to expose and know the truth about a lot of people. Absolutely.
