Your Phone's Creepy Secret: What They Don't Tell You! | Tim Kennedy DSH #887

Your phone,

everything that you search, everything that you click on, everything that you like, every place that you go when you go into

geo-targeting, every app that you have on your phone tracks you and sells that data, is compiled to create a profile, a pattern of who you are as a person.

It gets so insanely specific, it knows and pulses before you consciously are aware.

all right, guys, Tim Kennedy here.

Man, there's a lot going on in the world right now.

It is wild.

Yeah, it's a fun time to be alive.

Yeah, I was listening to your breakdown on Chris Williamson's show about the assassination attempt, and it was just fascinating.

Yeah, Chris is the best.

What a horrible day in American history.

You know, I think any form of political violence from any side is disgusting.

It's detestable.

And I wish and I was disappointed to not see just an outcry from everyone on all sides that, you know, political violence just can't occur.

Like, we're the beacon of light to the world about what freedom should look like.

And, you know, it's, you have people denying what happened.

You have people

wishing that that guy could have been a better shot.

It's disgusting.

And anybody that speaks like that,

that...

That's not protected speech.

That's disgusting speech.

Yeah, there's a line there.

I think it's weird that there's still no really concrete answers either.

That's concerning, right?

I mean, there are, just we, the people who should have all the information, don't have any information because it's not being shared with us.

Right.

So you think they really know what happened?

Yeah.

Certain people.

Yeah.

Motivations, everywhere that he's been,

you know, his apartment was curiously completely

vanilla.

Oh, blanked out.

There's nothing in there.

The silver was completely clean.

There wasn't a gram of dust anywhere.

Wow.

I mean, it was like pros went in there to clean it.

Wow.

I didn't know that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

There's a lot of new information coming out that makes you just piece everything together, right?

To have a Gen - is he a Gen Z or a millennial?

He was 12.

21, right?

Yeah, so Gen Z

with no social media, you know, with

the.

That's almost impossible.

It is impossible.

21 with no social media?

Yeah.

I haven't met someone like that.

No.

Nope.

It's a little too curated.

And the stock shortness the day before.

That was weird.

The coincidences of CNN being at a Trump rally for the first time

on that day was crazy.

The first time that you had counter snipers at an event that Trump was going to be speaking at.

This is the first one they've had.

He'd been requesting support and had been denied.

He didn't get an increase of support.

He actually had new,

so the principal is like the person that the protection detail is taken care of.

He had new

protection people around him, and they're using augmented auxiliary local law enforcement to cover down.

You do like this survey of where the person's going to go, and then you figure out how many resources you need or how to set up the situation, the circumstances to I, once you've identified all those threats, to get rid of them.

So like, you know, a barely slightly sloped roof that's 150 yards from where the president is standing to give a speech definitely falls into like one of the most heightened dangerous categories.

So I don't think there's a single person on the planet that looks at this and it's like, yeah, that checks out.

They did their jobs there.

You know, nobody's been fired from that team.

Obviously, the director of the secret services stepped down.

That's a lot of weird instances.

And then Biden stepping down a couple days later.

Yeah.

Like something's going on.

Yeah, I mean, it was a passive coup.

You know, it was a it's a change of the American

figureheads without a shot being fired.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

I wonder if you would have stepped down if that assassination happened.

I think

everyone knows now how diminished he is

and how

long he has been that way.

And if you know we go back in time for the past three years, three and a half years and look at every single

pundit that was like, you know, he's the shard, sharpest he's ever been.

He's, he's, you know, he's smart as a whip right now, you know, like he's in the best form.

You know, he's ready for another four years.

They, they, they knew better.

You know, they, they were just, it was bold-faced lie by each and every single one of them.

Uh, and it's sad, you know, I think it's elder abuse.

What's happened to him for the past two years?

Um, you know, I look, he has been a servant to this country.

And agree with him or not, his the vast majority of his episode is brought to you by better help.

I've tried therapy in the past and it helped me go through some tough times.

When I was in college dealing with mental health, I was on prescription medication.

I actually had agoraphobia when I was in college and therapy helped me figure out some answers to how to fix that problem.

For two months I couldn't even leave my house or I would have a full-on panic attack.

So I love companies like BetterHelp that can get therapy in front of the masses.

His adult life has been serving the American people

and his and his beliefs.

And that's what America is about.

Agree or not.

You know, he did his best.

But for the past five, seven years, you know, his last couple years as VP for Obama and these three years as president, I mean, it's tragic what they did to him.

Yeah, that's my problem with Kamala because I feel like she's obviously aware of this.

And I feel like we just need new leadership.

She was complicit.

Yeah.

She was complicit.

She was hiding him.

She was hiding his impaired state.

You know, whatever he's going through right now, or it's dementia or Alzheimer's or whatever drugs that they have been pumping him up for debates and press conferences.

She was complicit in that.

And that is,

you know, if that was happening outside of the White House and there was somebody somebody in an inner circle, specifically in business or in a family, that person's liable and going to be arrested for a variety of crimes.

Right.

But it's a White House, so it's cool.

Yeah.

You know, let's just say Trump, you'll get arrested for something.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Or 36 somethings.

Yeah.

But you said you're purple, so you've voted both sides in the past.

I have, yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

I'm like a candidates and issue person way more than a party.

I like that.

And

same way.

Yeah.

I say I'm a constitutionalist and a libertarian.

And, you know, there's ideas from Kennedy Jr.

that I like.

And there's things about him that I don't like, his stance on guns, his VP pick,

you know, with

Kamala and now Walt.

It's real hard for me to find issues that they stand for that align with mine because they are so anti-freedom, so anti-constitution.

And those are the things that I really hang my hat on.

Right.

And a big issue I've seen you talk about is the border stuff going on.

Well, I'm a Texan.

You know, I got my

goot on.

Yeah.

Almost wore a hat.

But you could pull a hat off in Vegas, though, I think.

You probably could.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I saw a couple of dudes.

You got a lot of rodeo here.

And Nevada has, I mean, definitely has some good cowboys.

But

unless you've been to the southern border, you can't understand how

dire the situation is.

The

I mean, it's a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions.

um the cartels are running shot on all of us right now like the the the fentanyl that's coming across the border cocaine um human trafficking the guns uh and the scariest thing is the

the terrorists you know we know that hundreds of terrorists have come across the border 100 we like know for a fact and we've caught a few of them and we're like hey If, you know,

we're guessing in portion, proportion, that, you know, you're going to to get one out of three, maybe one out of five.

And if you caught a couple hundred, that means a couple thousand made it through.

That's such a low ratio.

Yeah.

That's scary.

So they're just chilling right here.

They're not chilling.

Yeah.

Terrorists don't chill.

They wait.

They plot.

They prepare, and they look for opportunity to

instill fear.

So you could just walk through right now in Texas, the border.

It is huge.

I mean, Texas is a gigantic place.

And when you look at how long that that border is

from the coast all the way into New Mexico,

it's incomprehensible to somebody that

do you know how big big how big Big Bend is?

Have you ever been there?

No, I haven't.

So it's one of the darkest places in the world.

And it's one of the darkest places in the United States.

I think it is the darkest place in the United States.

You know, you stand there and there's no light for hundreds of miles.

And you look up and it's so eerie and beautiful.

The stars almost feel imposing um it's just it's one of the most

incredible and beautiful and powerful places on the planet because of its vastness that's like one state park in texas oh wow on the border and um so it's just impossible to physically man the border

impossible yeah that and and then

which is why you know, walls to create intentional choke points that forced people to try to cross in specific areas because it would be easier, you know, using, when I say wall, you know, sensors, both electronic and physical barricades that would

enable

people to actually protect that border.

But

the efforts at the border are split between the state, Texas, who is trying to have, so

sovereignty for a nation or for a state.

One of those necessary things is a line of

what land is yours to make a sovereign country.

Like, this is France.

These are our borders, and we control this land.

If it's a porous border, if it's, you know, anybody can cross at any point, there's no specific point port of entry.

Like, are you really a sovereign place?

I mean, intellectually, philosophically, if we, if we debate the idea, like, is a country really a country without a sovereign border?

I don't think so.

And there is a line line in the sand, literally and physically and metaphorically, that says this is the United States and this is Mexico.

And

the line there is our border.

And right now it is, it's so porous

because Texas can't control it by itself.

You know, that's a federal issue.

And Kamala was the border czar and she

did nothing to positively affect that border.

So as a Texan and as an American,

you know, I have friends friends that have lost kids to fentanyl.

Wow.

Not even doing drugs.

Like it was

present or there was a West Point kid that went to give mouth to mouth to somebody that was at a party and he by contact ended up with fentanyl.

He almost died while he was trying to save somebody.

I didn't know it was transferable like that.

Yeah.

It's, I mean, it takes.

you know, the not a gram.

It's like a millionth.

Like the lethal dose is

so minute it can be in anything you know as i take a drink of water that you guys you guys handed me here we go that is nuts

so the states really can't step in on the border help

they are oh they are i mean texas is the the amount of resources that texas have directed toward the border you know from department of public safety the special operations groups the texas national guard um local law enforcement county law enforcement i mean they have like have have leveraged every resource to try to protect their citizens like it's their job to protect and preserve right?

There's not enough.

Like Texas can't control the entire border when it's the federal government's responsibility to have a closed border and to ensure that anyone seeking, whether it's asylum or even just to come into the United States, like when I just returned from South America a couple of days ago, I had to go through customs.

I had to go through immigration, you know, as does everyone else.

I mean, unless you're a terrorist crossing the border with a bag of fentanyl on your back.

Yeah, so they need more support.

Is Texas one of the worst states for people getting through right now?

No, everybody on the southern border is in this fight.

California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, you know, it's,

and when I say a fight, I mean literally, you know,

there's gunfights every single night.

The cartel is a peer-level adversary.

You know, they have billions of dollars.

And any, when I say cartel, everybody immediately thinks you know like narcos on netflix or something you know like these are syndicated businesses that are international they own land they own businesses they can launder money and if if they're able to

do trade in one form of human suffering like drugs they'll also do all other forms of human suffering like human trafficking like smuggling terrorists, like smuggling guns, the gambit that makes the money.

Wow, that's crazy.

I didn't know it was this bad, dude.

They don't really show this on the media.

Yeah, of course they don't.

Like, I would love to take you down there.

I promise, like, you'll have some talented, not Secret Service level people.

Talented people.

And

you would not, we would just stand there and we will watch hundreds of people cross the river.

What?

Hundreds.

You could see them crossing?

Yeah, you and I, just like this, having a conversation, middle of the day,

watch hundreds of people come across the river.

And no one's doing anything.

Nothing.

Dude.

And now they're saying some states will allow them to vote in the election coming up.

Yeah.

I mean, it's been intentional.

They're given

a driver's license.

So bills as recent as this week have been signed allowing illegal immigrants to receive driver's license so they can walk into a voting place and show their ID, say that they live there.

Of course, they're going to tell the truth and then vote.

Then hop on a bus and drive to another place and do the same thing.

Yeah, it's crazy.

It's weird.

I'm actually friends with a couple illegals, so I'm a little conflicted.

You know, there's some good people.

No, we're, we are all immigrants.

Look at you.

Like, are you Native American?

No.

No.

Am I?

Obviously not.

So like every single one of us came here as an immigrant.

And I think it's a beautiful thing about America.

Like, come as you are.

We will protect you.

But there has to be a system and a process.

We're a nation of laws.

And

I live in Texas.

Obviously, I know a ton of immigrants and a ton of illegal immigrants.

I'm a Spanish speaker, as is my family.

And so we have, and I love them.

They're great people.

They're hardworking people.

And helping them work through the legal process for them to be there and for them to be contributing members of society, for them to pay taxes, for them to have jobs, for them not to be just a succubus on the American dream, but rather

that we, the people portion, that

all of us are created equal.

They meant that when they wrote that.

But we are a nation of laws and people have to follow the laws in the process.

And if the process is broken, then we can have a conversation about how to fix the process.

Agreed.

Yeah.

These are heavy topics.

We just jumped right into it.

We jumped in.

Let's go a little more lighthearted for a bit.

Are you still going on any hunting trips?

Oh, heck yeah.

I was in South America with some hopes.

I was skiing a little bit because it's super duper hot in Texas right now.

So I was like, I'll go to the southern hemisphere, do some skiing, and I'll hunt some stag

unsuccessfully.

The week before that, I was

in South Texas on the Three Eagles Ranch

doing a hunt with my nine-year-old.

And we got this gorgeous axis on this giant piece of property.

It just ended up being luck, but it was right as the sun.

Like hunting is one of the most wonderful and fulfilling things.

You know, like you're out there in nature and it's almost like

you get a peek behind the curtain.

That is,

you know, the smoke in the mirrors, like the wizards pulling all the levers, but you get to peek behind there and see what it really looks like when you're just silent and you're still.

And, you know, you see little fawns running up.

You see,

depending on what species you're hunting,

like during the rut where, you know, like elk are like super aggressive and they're just like tromping on top of everything and they're just massive.

You just can't believe that this thing exists and this is on our planet.

You know, you see a moose for the first time and you're like, how

is this real?

You know?

And so my son and I shot this gorgeous axis.

What's an axis?

It's a deer that's that's spotted, but not like a baby deer.

It's like a full-grown,

you know, they're about the size of a whitetail, but...

or a little bit larger, but they have these huge, giant, gorgeous horns and this beautiful spotted fur.

And your son took the shot?

Yeah.

Damn.

He was nine years old.

Yeah.

Impressive, man.

Yeah.

Not far out.

It was pretty close.

Okay.

Yeah, maybe 200 meters.

Damn.

So a little farther than the Trump uses.

Yeah.

Good thing my son wasn't up on that roof.

Holy crap.

That's fun, man.

I've never been.

I got to go.

Let's go.

I'll take you.

I mean, it's life-changing.

Not just the hunt itself.

You see this animal

in life and it's happy.

You know, it's like looking at the baby deer.

You know, it's like, hey, what's up?

You know, look at the girls, just eating grass, hanging out with his buddies, and then darkness.

You know, there's no pain.

There's no like factory.

There's no,

it's not living in crap all day long.

It's just like living its best life.

And, you know, a proper hunter that's ethically harvesting, he knows when to hunt.

He knows which animal to hunt at what time of year.

He knows how old it needs to be, you know, towards the end of its life as both as as reproducing, like it's how long it's able to be passing on good genetics.

So you're not going to kill a good genetic animal until later in life.

A bad genetic animal, you're going to remove from the gene pool,

which is important for a healthy herd.

That's called choline.

And I don't think anyone loves nature more than a hunter than after the hunt, after you've ethically and humanely ushered this thing into death, where it doesn't, like literally, like that bullet is a very specific bullet that carries a ton of energy,

tore through the heart and lungs, and that heart never beat another time after that bullet went through it.

Right.

It's literally, that's it.

And

then, you know, to clean it and to see it clean properly and then to process it with somebody I know.

And I know that that meat went from wildlife to my table.

And I'm sitting there making tacos, you know, for you and onions that I traded with somebody for some of the meat.

And here's tacos.

Oh, yeah.

That sounds cool.

Yeah, they're delicious.

Yeah, that's an interesting take because a lot of hunters get some, get some heat, I'd say, you know, trophy hunters and stuff.

Yeah, I don't, I don't think anyone does a real great job explaining really

how

important and

necessary hunting is for the balance of life.

You know,

here in Nevada, you could bear hunt.

There's bears here?

Yeah.

Oh, I didn't know.

And New Mexico, Arizona.

And the way that it works is they look at a region and they figure out how much meat, how much food is available for those bears.

Let's say there's 20 bears in that region.

They look at the amount of food, the amount of rainfall, and they say, man, there's only enough food for 10 bears.

They could all die from disease or they could, or worse, be pushed down to the suburbs to try and find food and scavenge for food which will also give them diseases or get hit on the freeway um but that whole entire population is is in danger because of the amount of food so um then they issue 10 hunting tags

for hunters to come and kill the proper bears in that area to balance the amount of food and life that is for the there for them.

Got it.

You know, that's just one example.

And it gets way more complex, you know, with seasons and their reproductive cycles.

And it's, it is, for somebody that loves wildlife and loves nature and is a conservationist, as am I,

understanding it is part of being a good hunter.

And like, all I know is good hunters.

You know.

Yeah, when you put it that way, it makes a lot of sense.

Have you gone bear hunting before?

I have, yeah.

Really?

What was that like?

I mean, it's epic.

They're like 500 pounds, right?

Well, you have, you have black bears, you have brown bears.

You know, if you're up in Alaska, you got bears way bigger than 500 pounds.

You got the salmon up there.

Yeah.

They're eating good up there.

Their paws are like this big.

Jeez.

And,

you know, in New Mexico, you got little black bears.

And we, I took my buddy

Dano.

He and I were in Afghanistan together.

And he has a couple of purple hearts.

Pretty amazing guy.

Lost both of his legs.

And this was one of the first times that he'd had a gun since he got blown up in Afghanistan.

And we went on this bear hunt and we're climbing up this mountain.

And by climbing, I mean, I was climbing.

He was on his hands and knees because his prosthetics wouldn't bend to climb the elgo and he's that steep yeah he was on his belly like sliding and crawling on his hands and his stumps to get up this hill it was so powerful um and i was so proud of him he's like one of the greatest humans on the planet incredible and it got his bear really yep sick so the point is to get some high ground so it can't like sneak up on you yeah we had it uh that bear had run up in a tree and was treated and uh so like we just had to get to that tree close enough to be able to shoot before it came down.

Wow.

So, they could climb a tree.

Oh, yeah.

They just

ride up a tree.

That's scary.

If you're ever running from one, my thought would be to climb a tree.

Don't do that.

No, you just, you're either going to fall to your death or they're going to eat you up top.

Damn.

Yeah.

Was that the toughest hunt?

Bears?

Nah, I mean,

no.

Coyotes are fast.

That might be difficult.

Yeah, predator hunting,

that's a completely different thing.

And that is a ton of fun.

You can,

they have like Fox Pro.

It's this box that plays the sounds of prey.

And

coyotes and bobcats and mountain lions come in, whether it's like a mouse screaming or

a domestic dog that's making like a painful sound.

The dogs come in.

You set up.

Where the dogs are coming into the wind.

So like their scent, not your scent, is being blown to them because they hunt off their nose more than anything.

So they could smell smell you oh yeah damn oh yeah so if they smell a human they're gonna they're gone they're gone yeah like because they know they could kill them they can fart in the wind they're just they'll never be around wow yeah they're that smart yeah yeah hunting in packs they'll they'll try to lure a domestic dog out they'll send a a female coyote that's in heat into

um into a into a suburb where the how the dogs there will smell the dog and the coyote in heat and will like chase that dog out and then the other pack will pounce on it.

Holy crap.

they're they're complex hunters and they also use other animals to hunt with them you know wolves are like ravens hunt with wolves really yeah they'll be their scouts they'll stay back and notify the hunt pack that something is happening with the cubs and then when they're done with the carcass the ravens get to eat the the scraps so it's it's a very symbiotic existence dangerous yeah they're uh

nature's awesome food yeah i never knew that holy crap have you gone bird bird hunting I have, yeah.

Eagles?

Yep.

No.

Yes.

Like falcon hunting.

Yeah.

Yes.

That's probably the toughest shot, right?

Because they're moving.

Oh, no.

I've never shot.

I've hunted with them.

Oh, with them.

Yeah.

And then, you know,

there's dove hunting in South America and Cordoba

that is beautiful and gorgeous in Argentina.

You can, last year I was on the UK with my friend Joe doing a pretty incredible hunt that he sent up hunting pheasant and it was in pigeon.

It was freaking awesome.

Nice.

Yeah.

Sounds like you really love hunting.

I love nature.

Yeah.

And I love feeding my family real natural food,

not most of the poison that they try to feed us.

Oh, yeah.

I only go to farmers markets.

I eat local organic.

You know what I mean?

You feel so much better.

It's like night and day.

You know, I spend like half my life abroad and every time I come back, I land in Atlanta or JFK or Miami, you know, and like I get off that plane and I leave like these beautiful, healthy, vibrant people and I land and all I see is fat people, like everywhere, you know, and I was like, what, what is happening here where we are, we're literally dying, you know, of obesity, of just

heart, literally hard, heart-related illnesses that are in conjunction with being overweight.

And it's, it's so sad.

And it's and I think it's mostly food related.

It has to be.

It's so crazy because we're one of the wealthiest countries too.

Yeah.

And our health is probably one of the worst.

Yeah.

I don't know if it's pharma, food, probably both.

Yeah.

A combination of

us being so prosperous, us being,

you know, some of the food that fruit loops.

Look at the ingredients.

If you text a friend in Spain or Italy, France, have them take a picture of the ingredients off of a bag of...

pretzels of fruit loops of of almost every staple in American supermarkets here.

Just have your friends that have the exact same product overseas take a picture of the ingredients and then compare the two.

And

half of them aren't even allowed in European countries.

Like half the ingredients that we have in our

everyday breakfast cereals aren't permitted in most European countries.

It's nuts.

Crazy.

Yeah, it seems like other countries are more proactive about banning bad ingredients in the U.S.

Yeah, but we are like, oh, it's a better color, even though it's poison or,

you know, it makes it more vibrant.

It makes it more addictive, you know, whatever the reason is.

As kids, we're just eating cereal all day, every day.

Reese's puffs, fruit loops.

You remember those?

Yeah,

we didn't eat a lot of them, and my kids definitely don't eat any of them.

They have eggs, wild eggs every day for breakfast.

Can't beat that.

Nope.

Bananas and

wild eggs with a little bit of of pancake stabilizer into like these little protein cakes that they love like they pound them every day it's yeah yeah you send them to public school no nice

absolutely not you started your own right uh uh

myself and my partner matt boudreaux uh we we first started like this online mentorship for

i i think just like young people that knew they needed more, whether they're in public school or private school, they're like, you know, they they had a drive and a purpose.

They had purpose, direction, motivation, but nobody was providing them with direction, which started Apogee Strong.

And three years ago, you know, we had one physical location and then

we had three.

And then this year, they're opening 50.

Holy crap.

Next year, we're going to open 300 to 500.

Damn.

Took off quick.

Yeah, by next year, we'll have

nearly 500 schools.

Ooh, that's really exciting because no one's really done it at that volume.

No.

Oh, I mean, we're going to go until the Department of Education is abolished.

I mean, they're on your radar, I bet, right?

Oh, yeah.

Like, they're probably pissed at you guys because you're taking the kids from public school, stealing their, they're making money off those kids.

Yep.

Yeah.

And that's what it is.

It's, it's just a money's game.

It's just a powers game.

It's an influence game.

And

they.

They are trying to get to these young, impressionable minds to create tax mules to carry the tax burden of their own salaries moving forward.

So

there's this convention belt of

slaves that they're building.

And it's, I don't, as an entrepreneur, I don't need a tax mule to work for me.

You know, I don't, I need a collaborator.

I need an inventor.

You know, I need a critical thinker.

I need someone with grit and hard work.

None of these characteristics or attributes are encouraged, praised, or cultivated in public schools.

But these are the things that

you know are so desperately needed right now.

Absolutely.

I got bullied in public school for showing those traits.

Yeah.

Like kids thought I was weird.

Yep.

And that's how they're programmed.

Looking back at it now, it makes sense.

They were just so programmed.

Yeah.

You know, learn about geometry and algebra and all that you know.

Don't learn about geometry.

Learn about how to take a test about geometry, which is even worse because like geometry is rad.

You know, astronomy is rad.

Science, chemistry, math, it's all, it's all awesome and so important, especially for developing brains.

But that's not what they're teaching.

They're just teaching you how to to take a test.

They're just programming you to be what they want you to be and to be this good consumer,

you know, to be trapped by this thing, to

do what they say and to believe what they believe.

And it's disgusting.

While charging you 40K a year.

That's right.

That's right.

It's crazy.

That's right.

Yeah.

Look at it now from the outside.

Like, because did you go to college?

I did.

And you regret it now, right?

I do.

So unnecessary.

Yeah.

To look back at it now.

It's like, wow, why did I even do that?

Yeah.

And

college,

what I like is it creates

a requirement for somebody to give a product at a specific time with some very specific rules.

And that person has to do some things

to accomplish that, whether it's a lab or a report or an essay.

You know, that is the only semblance of the real world that is derived from college.

Everything else is useless, especially that gigantic student loan that these people are then stuck under for the rest of their lives.

You know, but Apogee is completely taking

this opposite approach.

We are just empowering the individual.

We are giving sovereignty and freedom back to the family.

You know, we're saying it's nobody else's responsibility to educate or raise that child that you created besides you.

And nobody has the authority over that child besides you.

not the that's not the government's child that is your child right you know like you love them you created them they are your responsibility give them the tools to be successful in life not in not as a consumer but for that individual beautiful little soul what does their future look like it's whatever they're capable of doing so then give them every opportunity to be the best version of themselves that was apogee love it and it's just exploded you know it's whether it's like hybrid homeschooling or individual private locations and affiliates or it's all online mentorship.

You know, there's combinations of

families that are doing a variety of things.

You know, but like as long as they are on this, on board of freedom, sovereignty, and responsibility, man, we'll, we'll take them with open arms.

Hell yeah.

You know, absolutely strong.

I'd love to help you push that, man, for real.

It's important.

It's happened to me a lot.

I'm scared

about what the next 10 years look like, you know, with the

finishing high school and current college age graduates that are going to be coming in the next 10 years

because I think the pendulum has swung or is swinging or is in the process of swinging back towards critical thinking logical hard work grit yeah but we're not there yet no no and we have a ton of students that are the product of this current education system that is so disgusted so flawed yeah that uh I don't know how

it's all gonna shake out yeah I thought we were there just because the people we hang out with, it's easy to get in that bubble.

But then this election stuff, you realize how close it is.

You're like, wait, yeah, we're not even close to being there.

No.

You know, this should be an obvious choice for election.

Yeah.

But they got so many people in that program, man.

Yeah.

In the public education.

I don't know what percent of the market it is.

It's got to be above 90, I'd assume.

Yeah.

It's

more people have been moving towards homeschooling, private schools, starting their own schools to programs like Apogee Strong in the past few years.

You know, people like Tucker Max that are like, man, I want sovereignty for me and for my family.

And for sovereignty, for you to have true freedom,

like that in practice is sovereignty, where

no one has a lever on me.

Like, you can't tell me to take

an experimental drug because

you have control over any aspect of my life.

I can tell you, like, piss off because, like, I, I don't need to get on your bus.

I don't need to get a paycheck from your company because I own my own company.

You can't tell my kids they can't walk through the school doors unless they have this thing because I own the school.

You know, right.

You can't not let me go to the grocery store because I can get my own food.

Like, this is sovereignty, and this is like the American, the original America

America that we fought for and carved our existence out of the wilderness.

And, you know, ultimately, in 1773, we're like, these people suck.

By 1776, we'd killed all of them or kicked them off the continent.

Yeah.

You know, for this idea of sovereignty and freedom.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I need to reach sovereignty.

I realized I thought I was doing decent, and then the crowd strike thing happened.

And I was like, damn, I am really relying on certain industries, like banking,

even some grocery stores, payment processing shut down.

So I need to work on that for sure.

Yeah, I was coming back from

the Middle East when that happened.

So your flight got delayed.

Dude, it was a mess.

It was JFK, there'd be people there like for three days, crying in JFK.

Three days.

And like showing back up, trying to get on another flight, but seven flights had been canceled.

So all of those people into this next location have been pushed to the next.

It was just, oh, it was chaos.

It was bad.

Yeah, flights are a tough one to battle with.

But I think food and education and banking, you can kind of go back to how it used to be, right?

Yeah.

That'd be great.

It would be great.

Especially education, though.

That's, that's a problem.

It has to happen.

You know, but it's on us to fix it because

no one's coming to save you.

The government's not going to fix it.

We see what the government has done to it.

They've just made the school and teachers' unions more powerful.

I'm in states where those unions have real leverage over

those lobbyists have real power over those elected officials.

And they're scared.

And they cower and bend to the will of those organizations.

That's just not American.

Yeah.

It's not at all.

No.

And these schools are protecting child child pedophiles.

Yes, they are.

My friend Walter O'Brien, shout out to Walter, fifth highest IQ in the world.

He used AI software to identify all these child pedophiles in the country that were teachers.

Yeah.

And he can't even do anything because he'll go to the education board and they'll fire them.

He'll just teach at a different state.

Isn't that crazy?

Yeah.

But not surprising.

Walter's awesome.

Yeah, Walter's the man.

Yeah.

But it's that easy.

Say you get kicked out in Cali, you could just go to another state and teach kids there, even if you're a pedophile.

I think it's minor attracted person, Sean.

Isn't that the isn't that what they're saying?

Yeah, I can't even say the P-word.

Yeah, I might have to censor that.

Yeah.

I was reading on the flight here, in a matter of fact, the process of getting these outlandish ideas accepted, um, where, you know, you first change the name, and then after you change the name, then you change,

like you're effectively trying to fight this

philosophical idea of what is a molati act, like something that is just evil in nature,

like preying on a child.

Like, cool, we'll just change the name.

And then after we change the name, then we're going to

change the way that people view it and how we talk about it.

And then after we do that, we'll change laws associated with it.

And after we change laws associated with it,

we'll play on other minority groups

like blacks to say, oh, well, African Americans suffered similar

discrimination at this era in the 60s and 70s.

But look at the similarities.

You're like, there's no similarities there.

That person's evil.

Like you're just a dark-skinned person.

Like this doesn't make any sense.

But there's a very clear playbook about how they do it.

And then after the comparison has been made from these minority groups, then they play the victim

to get even more

radical and

dangerous laws to support their

what originally was a pretty disgusting act yeah and they're pushing it on kids yep elon musk look what happened to one of those kids yeah oh man that

broke breaks you know he's he's um what a great american right south african but now american yeah look at everything he's done yeah immigrant awesome one of the best out there i'd say i mean for sure changing the world yeah but what happened without his kid man holy crap and that's why a big reason to so many hasn't it yeah we all know someone that it's happened to.

And I don't, and we're starting to see now the stories of regret and,

you know,

I don't know what the right word, a trans survivor, where,

you know, we are lied to, say that, you know, if you go through this procedure or you take these drugs,

you know, your chance of suicide is going to be decreased.

So a parent's like, yeah, that check, that makes sense.

Like, I want to do the right thing.

This is what they want.

No, they're a child.

You know, they, their frontal lobes not even developed.

They're not allowed to have a tattoo or smoke cigarettes.

Um, they're not allowed to vote.

They're not allowed to join the military.

You're definitely not going to make a life-altering medical decision for them.

You know, just like give them a little bit of time.

If they think they're a unicorn, like my four-year-old, you know, she like a couple of days ago literally was like walking around with her tongue out of her mouth because she wanted to be a unicorn.

She's like, I'm not going to have a surgery to put a thing on top of her head and add hoofs to her front hands.

You know, like, that's that's insane because she's a child.

Yeah.

So it's my job to protect her.

Are you going to let them have social media, your kids?

No.

Really?

Nope, absolutely not.

Wow.

No.

Firm stance on that.

Yep.

Maybe

junior, senior year in high school.

Wow, that's pretty late.

And that is just because

after, you know, they leave for what will be their version of college,

which I think will look very different by the time that they're there.

I think these institutions are going to be crumbling.

I think,

you know, you see the plagiarism of presidents of

Ivy League universities that are just, you see what has happened in the past just two years.

And that, man, that pendulum is just going to be swinging back.

And people are going to be demanding.

Yeah, I think the colleges will be hurting.

Their applications are already going down pretty quick for these Ivy Leagues and everything.

Yeah.

And they're going to take over.

Those giant funds of theirs where donors are going to be like, I'm not giving money to this school, like this school that promotes radical ideas and a destruction of something that

I have built and created that is the American dream.

No, I'm done giving money to you guys.

Yeah.

You were fighting for a bit.

Did you ever fight against Jake Shields?

We trained together for a long time.

Oh, nice.

Yeah, we were

kind of like second generation.

If you say Chuck Liddell and Titor Ts

were

peak MMA from California.

We were like generation two.

So Chuck was cornering me in fights.

And Jake would come down from, he was a northern California guy.

He'd come down to the Central Coast and train with me and Chuck and Gab McGee and Scott Adams and Justin Frazier,

Glover Textera.

It was just,

it was a wild time to be in fighting.

Legends.

Yeah.

And was he this outspoken back then?

He has always been

wires exposed, pretty

hot.

Okay.

And that's good to know.

That's that's respect because i didn't know if he was just going through a phase or something it's it's a little it's definitely more right now or in the past few months um than it than i remember he's always been a great fighter you know i've nothing but

he and i have agreed and disagreed on lots of things and uh you know he he is he is one hell of a fighter yeah he's a beast that win streak what was it 13 straight yeah that was while you were fighting right yep Yeah, champ.

I want to talk about the ad ID we were talking about off camera because people don't even know they're being tracked that way.

So could you explain that again?

Yeah, it's,

I don't know, people want to hear this, though.

I think it's important, right?

Yeah.

So

your phone, everything that you search, everything that you click on, everything that you like, every place that you go,

that

when you go into

geotargeting, when it's asking if it has permission for you to do that,

every app that you have on your phone tracks you and sells that data.

All of that data is compiled to create a profile, a pattern of who you are as a person.

And like in military terms, we'll say it creates a pattern of life for you.

Where you shop,

how fast you drive, what your interests are, if you're gay, if you're straight, if you're a guy or girl, your age, you know, how fit you are.

It gets so insanely specific

for you,

you're six foot six,

with your age, with like your sexual preferences, with what kind of things, what brands you like,

it knows impulses before you consciously are aware.

It knows when you're going to want to eat something.

It knows that your heart rate, if you're wearing a watch, is going to increase when you're driving by a restaurant that you like.

It knows that when you're in the proximity of a person that you have a crush on, physiologically, you're going to be changing.

Your heart rate's going to be increasing.

Your freaking watch knows that, and it knows that this is happening every time you're next to this person.

Holy crap.

The level of detail that it has on that ad ID, not your Apple ID, but more specific of all of your shopping and consumer habits.

That it tracks where you go, how often you're there, the people that are around you.

And that is accessible information to

other people trying to sell you products, of course, as you get very targeted ads.

You know, you talk about, man, I've been thinking about starting to swim.

And then you get an advertisement for Finns, you know, like, man, I'd really like to go to someplace warm for vacation this year, honey.

Doesn't that sound nice?

And then you're getting ads for Hawaii and the Bahamas, you know, but specifically in places that you can afford or right at the limit.

Wow.

I don't think people appreciate how specific some of those ads can be, you know, and they'll also be targeted ads from apps like Amazon or Expedia that are within your normal pattern of shopping well that's that is just on the consumer side of course you can weaponize that type of information to specifically identify where a person is at any given moment in time what they're going to be doing and how they're going to be doing it and um you know if if me as a special operations guy imagine the power that that gives me if i'm trying to find somebody right for you know nefarious or for just reasons i'm able to know exactly where that person is going to be in time and space.

Wow.

That's crazy.

So did they have that while you were serving?

Yeah, degrees of that.

For us to create a target package, we were trying to determine that person's pattern of life.

You know, if you look at Zarcawi, he was the number one guy in Iraq that was like the baddest dude in Iraq during the peak war in

2004.

four, five, six, seven.

You look at bin Laden and how they hunted him.

Ultimately, they're just trying to figure out a pattern of life for this person.

And that person, fortunately,

for him for a few years, he was able to hide his pattern by not having smartphones, by not having anybody with phones around him.

And ultimately, it was a courier that had a phone that led us to where he was.

He knew the phones were being tracked.

Oh, yeah.

And this was way back then, too.

Wow.

Yep.

Yeah.

Voice recognition, obviously, like

AI with facial recognition.

You know, you can power your phone off completely and then set it in your room, put on night vision goggles, and you'll still see that phone pulse.

What?

Yeah.

So it's still on.

It's still on.

Like your phone is never off.

It is always listening and it is always observing.

There's cameras on the front, there's cameras on the back, and there's microphones on it that will listen 24-7, even when it's powered down.

Dude.

Yeah.

So the government has access to that?

Huh?

That's scary.

That's how I feel about Alexa, too.

Yeah.

I got rid of mine yeah yeah but this is the same thing you know it's passively collecting all the time and then selling it to the highest bidder and um i mean that so they're making a killing yeah

holy crap you see that uh

the

butler shooter yeah they id

that from his ad id

they were able to look into the people that he was around and there was somebody that was he would continuously spend con time with that would go back to a building adjacent to the FBI

and then go back to him and the only reason they were able to know this was because his phone was connecting to that person's phone and then they were tracking those two IDs to see where these two people were going.

Really?

Yeah.

Did they find out whose phone the other guy was?

Yeah, yeah, but they won't release that.

Oh, wow.

So adjacent to the FBI, so it could have been...

Yeah, I don't know.

Yeah, that's that's nuts.

Keep this video up and not say what we're thinking.

So that's a big reason.

Everybody's thinking.

Yeah.

That's a big reason why you got the unplugged phone then, I'd assume.

Because that's way harder to track.

Eric Prince, so the guy that designed this phone,

he was the founder of Blackwater.

And he was just on the Sean Ryan podcast.

Real neat guy.

He is also

like, if I was going to

pin a tail on a donkey about what does it look like to be a warrior for freedom and to be an out-of-the-box thinker, that's Eric Prince.

He looks at a problem set and huge geopolitical problems.

And he he comes up with a solution that is so

simple and so perfect, but not common,

not would be the opposite of the common approach to what we think.

You know, let's send a diplomat from the Department of State, or like, let's use Department of Defense and like really

show a strength here, you know, or

insert all the diplomatic information, military, and economic solutions that we're going to have to a problem.

And then Eric Prince comes along and he goes, like,

well, here's this other thing that we could do.

You know, you're like, what?

Dude, that might work.

He just, he's done it over and over and over again.

Like Blackwater was really one of the first

private solutions to huge government problems, specifically around military.

And while I'm completely against the military-industrial industrial complex, I do believe in capitalism and I do believe in privatization.

And I think anything that the government does we the people can do better yeah it's like there's very few things that I want the government to have control of

I would much prefer complete transparency from them and the power to always be with the people absolutely I remember the IRS basically there was a huge breakout story that they could just see your bank accounts yeah like a few months ago like they just have access to do that that's so such an invasion you know yeah like we'll send a few hundred million dollars to the taliban you know uh

uh often like every quarter and we'll give them them like $60 to $80 million

a week.

But, you know, Sean, if you Venmo

me $200, you make sure you report that to the IRS, all right?

Nuts.

All right.

Yeah.

It's crazy, right?

It's nuts.

Like, that's just, that does

change.

I need to get one of those phones.

I've literally been on calls where I can hear it being tapped.

Yeah.

Like I hear someone recording it.

Isn't that crazy?

Yeah.

I'm sure you've doubted that.

I'll get one for you.

Awesome.

They're, they're, they're hard to get right now.

I bet.

Oh, Oh, they're sold out.

Yeah, it's

people are knowing that.

Yeah, people are waking up, man.

There is a great awakening right now.

And I love this that as dangerous the past few years has been, it is fun right now to see, you know, like you look at your followers.

You go into the comment section, people having like proper, healthy debates about ideas.

Like, that's cool.

That's great.

Give me some more of that, you know?

Healthy discourse about what a proper solution solution is to a problem.

Like, there, there, there's, there's an awakening coming, and uh, there's going to be consequence to the people that have had their hands pulling these levers for the past few years.

Absolutely, shame on them, yeah, shame on them.

So, economy is crashing.

We're filming this August 7th, right?

If people are watching this later, um, what's going on?

You think World War III is possible?

Yeah, I do.

It's uh, Iran has been positioning for it.

If you think the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas attack on Israel in October, if you think all of that's just like these crazy radicals or like these poor, impoverished people, it's not.

It's not.

It is a country that wants to watch us

go away.

Our peers, China and Russia, are benefiting from Iran funding every terrorist organization that we've been fighting for the past 20 years.

The Taliban, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Al-Qaeda, Mutadin, every single one of those funded by Iran.

You know, the Iranian weapons that are being sneaked across the Mediterranean,

and they're being encouraged by our peer-level adversaries like China and Russia.

So unless

we are, I think, dangerously close to...

all-out war.

Wow.

Some people think we're already in it with everything going on.

We are in it.

We absolutely are in it.

We're in World War III right now.

We are in a proxy war with for the first time peer-level adversaries.

And in the ways that you can wage war,

like, are we diplomatically at war with China, Iran, and Russia?

Diplomatically?

Yeah.

Probably, right?

Yeah, absolutely.

Informationally.

Are we in an information war with Iran, China, and Russia?

For sure.

No doubt about it.

Are we economically in a war with Iran, China, and Russia?

Yeah.

Without a doubt.

Last is militarily.

So in these kind of four ways that we can wage war, we are three out of four overtly at war.

And the third and last, we are in a proxy war.

So we're fighting in Ukraine against Russia.

You know, like.

Are we really supporting Ukrainians or are we fighting Russia and using their battle space and their people for our own war?

Yeah, a little bit of that.

You know, are we really 100% supporting Israel?

Or are we fighting Iran because we're fighting Hamas, which is funded by Iran, the Houthis, and Hezbollah, both of which are funded by Iran.

Wow.

Yeah, these are good points.

I didn't think about it that way.

But we're indirectly in war right now.

That's right.

No, the last step is just direct war, I guess, just to declare it.

Yep.

So that might be possible, too.

Yep.

That would be a scary one.

Yes, it would be.

Russia and China against us.

Damn, I don't think Russia and China are really

North Korea.

They got the nukes there, there, right?

Or is that myth been busted?

I think

there's a lot of nukes out there now.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Okay.

Because it was like a meme for a while.

The big red button.

Yeah.

But when two sides realize that it's complete destruction to cross a line,

it forces a different type of warfare.

Right.

And complete annihilation.

And,

you know, if somebody came into my house, kicked in the door, tortured and raped my family, kidnapped a couple of my family members and their friends and dragged them to their safe area.

They know, because it's me, that I would

destroy everything that was there to get my people back.

Scorched earth, salted fields, complete destruction.

You know, no generation, no food growing in that land for generations to come type warfare.

And because of that, nobody's going to come into my house to do that, right?

And this is like a mutually understood, there's lines that can't be crossed.

And those lines have been crossed in the past 18 months.

And, you know, Russia crossing the border into Ukraine, Hamas being funded for years to prepare for this attack against Israel.

It was, it had to, of course, to do with Israel.

It had some to do with Palestine.

had way more to do with Iran and their effort of destroying any Western influence within the Middle East.

Yeah, that's crazy.

And with all the modern weapons, modern warfare, I can't even picture what that would look like.

Drone warfare is wild right now.

Yeah.

It's not advanced where they're just sending off drones to

AI drones.

You know, you have direct feeds of

wire connected.

You can't jam them.

You can't.

I mean, you literally have to shoot them out of the sky.

Wow.

And there's hundreds of them.

They're fast.

They're fast and they can, you know, do anything.

And they have thermal imagers and night vision.

And they have ordnance on them.

Some of them can shoot.

You know, it's just, this is this warfare.

What has progressed in the past three years is more so.

We've been at war for 20 years, right?

From 2001.

All the way to 2021.

Like we were in active warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan, North Africa.

And then

what has happened since 2022 to 2024 and the rapid evolution of war is just now, we haven't seen anything like this since World War II.

Wow.

How fast the progression and technological evolution has occurred.

That's crazy.

Yeah.

I heard there's drones that they could fly in vents and just spy on you and you wouldn't even know they're there.

Yeah, you got drones that look like birds.

You know, you have drones that are like little bugs that are like, they're almost completely silent.

You have

direct line drones that there's, there's no signal jamming that will be able to stop it.

Um, it's yeah, so it won't even be troops on the ground.

It'll just be there'll always be troops on the ground.

Oh, okay.

Just to like defend, I guess.

To defend, but like you don't own a land until you control that land and physically have things in place to defend that land.

Got it.

So like while you might be able to

remove the enemy in a given area until you move into that land, that land isn't controlled by you.

That makes sense.

So whoever controls the outside perimeter is the one that controls what's behind it.

How much faith do you have in Trump saying he wants to end all these wars?

And do you think he could actually get that accomplished?

Yeah.

I've been to war a lot and I'm not a fan of war.

Really?

Yeah.

Because you joined to kill like 9-11 and you really wanted to, you know,

I watched a single mother jump jump to her death so she didn't burn alive.

And her last act of conscious thought was to hold her skirt down.

Wow.

You know, she'd gone into work early that morning so she could get off in time to be there with her kids when they got out of school.

You know, that woman jumped to her death so she didn't burn alive.

Like,

I don't care who did that.

Like, they need to be in the dirt.

And

I was one of.

tens of thousands of people that tried to enlist on 9-11.

Like, there's nothing special about me because there were lots more people there ahead of me.

And

whether it's Pearl Harbor, 9-11,

but people have to, the world has to recognize the strength of the American spirit and the consequence of touching an American.

Like,

we should be off limits, you know, like, man.

It would be really nice to

insert whatever that nefarious group wants to do, but then they're like, yeah.

But they're American, you know, like they're going to rain down hell and fire on us, our family, and our world because of it.

That's how it used to be.

I feel like that is how it used to be.

And then I feel like we've gotten pretty soft.

We have.

With Biden, right?

Or was it before that?

Was it Obama, anything?

Man, Obama loved him some drones.

Oh, he did?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, I didn't know they were around back then.

Oh, yeah, dude.

That guy did more drone attacks than any president ever in history from before up until today.

Wow.

Okay.

He was an animal out there.

Yeah, with certain kinds of warfare.

Okay.

Yeah.

He also had like the drawdown.

We weren't winning any wars when he was in office.

There was prolonged war because he was in

office.

Yeah, they lost it forever.

Oh, yeah.

You were probably in Afghanistan for years, right?

Were you in Iraq too?

I was, yeah.

Damn.

You served a long time.

Yeah.

20 years.

This coming January.

Oh, you're still active?

I am.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

Damn.

I just re-enlisted on the 80th anniversary of Normandy in Normandy on D-Day.

Wow.

Yeah.

It was sick.

I like, you see my kind of weird haircut.

I had

some of the guys that jumped into

Normandy on D-Day.

They shaved their heads like Native Americans and they put on war paint.

And

the group that I was with with Black Rifle Coffee, Evan Hafer and Matt Best and Logan Stark, Andy Stumpf.

We did our best to pay homage to that greatest generation.

We were cosplaying, I guess.

We were like, is that what that is?

I think so, right?

Yeah.

We were just pretending to be the rattest dudes to ever walk the face of the planet.

Here we go, man.

It was pretty sick.

Dude, this has been really fun.

Where can people learn more about your schools and potentially sign their kids up?

Yeah, apogeestrong.com.

You know, we have mentorship for families.

We have obviously locations opening up if you're looking for solutions for your kids outside of public school, see if there's an Apogee school nearby.

If there's not, open one.

Like we make it that we teach you how to do it.

We show you how to run a business.

We give you all the keys to the castle to open your own school so you have sovereignty over your family and their education.

Like don't hand that off to somebody else.

You know, it takes sovereignty back and the values that you have, pass on to your kids.

Don't let somebody else teach them what's right and wrong.

You know, like

you do that.

It's your job.

Absolutely.

We'll link it below.

I will start a chapter one day when I have kids, man, for real.

I may.

Yeah, I can't do it.

There is one here in Las Vegas.

Oh, there is?

Yeah.

Oh, nice.

Yeah.

Visha Tate.

Oh, I know him.

She's a great fighter here in Las Vegas.

Yeah, well,

I think there'll be a couple here in this Las Vegas area.

Let's go.

I love it.

We'll link it below.

Thanks for coming on today.

Dude, my pleasure.

Thanks for having me.

Absolutely.

Thanks for watching, guys.

See you next time.
