Episode 2993 CWSA 10/19/25

are.

Hey everybody, come on in.

You know what time it is.

We got a special guest today and it could not be more fitting.

That's right.

Yesterday was no king's day.

Today will be my guest King Randall to talk about his boy school.

We'll do that at the end of the podcast.

But for now, let's make sure I've got my comments working here.

Let's make sure it all works.

If my technology works, we're going to have quite the experience.

Come on, technology, you can do it.

Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.

But if you'd like to experience life at a higher level of excitement, all you need for that is a copper, a mug, or a glass of tanker shells in a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

Fill it with your favorite liquid.

I like coffee.

And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

It's called the simultaneous sip.

when it happens now.

Go.

Ah, delicious.

All right.

In case you're wondering, uh, this is not a new microphone.

What it is, as I was going to demonstrate, it's for, uh, it's a phone holder.

Boink.

Boink.

So you can put your phone here and then you can uh you can show people what you're looking at with your hands.

So your hands are free.

So last night I uh did an impromptu demonstration of drawing a Dilbert comic with my left hand because I have to draw left-handed now.

I got a problem with my right hand.

Um and I just showed my camera as I as my hands drew the comic.

So that's on X right now.

I'll do the same thing for my beloved local subscribers.

We'll do that privately later.

But if you'd like to see how the drawing looks when you're the actual artist looking at the paper, it's kind of cool.

So, I just wanted to show you that that's a thing, but can I get it off?

There we go.

There we go.

All right.

Like I said, King Randall will be joining me, if my technology works, toward the end of this hour to talk about his boys school, which is very impressive.

I think you're going to like that.

Um, I wonder if there's any science about coffee.

Oh, yeah.

Turns out that according to the uh nutrition, metabolism and cardiac disease people, coffee can lower your uh your blood pressure.

But it's the first time I've seen one of these coffee stories where they say, "But we don't have the causation nailed down," which is exactly what I would have said.

Do you think it's true that people who uh have high blood pressure drink as much coffee as people who don't?

Because isn't that one of the first things they tell you?

Drink less coffee if you have high blood pressure.

So, I'm not so sure about this science, but I like it.

All right.

As tradition requires, I'm going to do a reframe from my book, Reframe Your Brain.

The only book I have that is still uh cooking along at a fivestar rating.

That's impressive.

It's hard to get a fivestar rating on a book.

Um here you go.

Um one of my favorite.

This might be actually the best one of all.

You know, there there are a handful of these reframes that are truly life-changing more than others.

Here's one.

Manage your time is what most people teach you to manage your time.

All right?

Make sure you've got enough time.

Manage your time.

I've reframed that to manage your energy.

Now, it does matter what kind of job you have.

If you're being paid by the hour, you're going to have to manage your time.

But the the uh the idea here is you want to eventually try to live your life in a way that you can manage your energy.

And what I mean by that is at this exact time of the day for me, you know, everybody's different, but for me, this is exactly what I want to be doing this time of day.

I want to be doing something creative, maybe something a little bit social in its own way.

But if I were not in the mood to do this, it wouldn't come out very well.

So I match I match my energy to whatever it is I need to do.

So I if you know at the moment I can't work out but if I could work out I do it in the afternoon because my brain energy is low but my body energy is fine.

In the morning my brain energy is high but my body energy is a little lower.

So I do the creative stuff.

So manage your energy.

Don't only manage your time.

All right.

Um, apparently there's some big meteor shower tomorrow that we're all getting to see.

It's going to be a good one.

It's always after midnight, of course.

Um, and for a couple hours tomorrow, you'll see the Oronidis Orin Orinis, some kind of a dust left behind by Haley's comment.

You should see 20 shooting stars per hour.

I feel like I'm going to stay up for that.

Well, I'll never stay up for it, but I might go to sleep and then wake up for it four hours later.

Do you know that stuff?

They used to do it in the old days.

Uh, I saw that in social media.

In the olden days, it was common for people to go to sleep when it got dark, but then they would wake up around midnight and spend an hour or two doing something else and then they go back to sleep.

But apparently people would just all wake up midnight and hang out in the old days.

Well, as you know, yesterday was the so-called no kings rally around the country or as uh some have tagged it grandifa.

Grandifa because all grandparents 7 million million protesters they claim.

I'm sure that's overstated.

in 2700 locations.

So, let's see how they did.

Any any kings?

Well, except for my upcoming guest today, King Randall.

No extra kings.

No extra kings.

Surprisingly.

Yeah.

Um, and here's my question.

If you have a no kings rally in 2700 places with 7 million protesters and the so-called fascist government in charge, the only response to it is two insulting memes.

That was it.

that the entire push back to 7 million people demanding that the Constitution be followed was, "Oh, here's a funny meme." Nothing else.

Because you know where you can't have 7 million people running around protesting no kings?

Anywhere there's a king.

If you had a king, you'd not be doing that.

That's for sure.

You wouldn't be doing any of that.

So, and then it got funnier because apparently some decision was made and I don't know by whom or why to hand out lots of American flags.

Now, what do you think when you see a big crowd of people with American flags?

Don't you think they're Republicans?

So, somehow it it was 100% peaceful, which I compliment them on.

100% peaceful and they were carrying American flags and they were uh promoting constitutional rights.

Am I wrong that they just held a Republican rally flag peaceful obey the constitution?

It's a mega It was a mega event, right?

especially because it was senior citizens.

The the the fact that people got paid for organizing this is hilarious because what exactly did they get paid for to promote the uh the virtues of the other side?

Have you heard of any Republican who was put out or somehow offended or somehow had a big problem with the no kings thing?

I have not heard of one Republican who had any problem with it at all or even cared even cared if it happened.

I I looked at it and I thought, "Oh, looks like people are getting together over this whole support the Constitution and wave the American flag thing.

H maybe that's a good sign." So, I don't know what they thought they would accomplish, but it definitely did not remove it didn't remove Trump from office, if that's what they're hoping for.

The Department of Homeland Security gets the win for the best uh post.

Uh, somebody brought a giant inflatable penis, like a balloon that was shaped like a penis with a package.

And uh the Department of Homeland Security took a picture of that and posted on X and the caption was Gavin Newsome has shown up to the riot.

I I love the fact that the Trump administration is just mocking it, but not even mocking it hard.

They're they're just sort of gently mocking it like There you go.

There you go.

Tap tap tap on the head.

Good boy.

Good boy.

Go ahead.

It's hilarious.

Meanwhile, over at the Louv in France, robbers actually broke into the Louve and stole the French crown jewels.

Now, if you were the Lou, wouldn't you put a little uh extra security around the French crown jewels?

Nope.

Somebody snuck in and stole the crown jewels.

Now, I guess the backstory is there was some uh some kind of work being done on the facility.

So, that gave them an opening to get in.

Ordinarily, ordinarily it would be more secure.

Uh but they got in, they stole the crown jewels, and then somebody dropped um I guess the crown that's the greatest of the crown jewels, Empress Eugenia's crown, and broke it.

Imagine dropping it and breaking it.

Like like what would that feel like?

You're like, "Ah, I just broke into the lof.

I got the crown jewels.

Look at me.

I got the Oh Well, we just leave them there and then they just leave them there." But I'm also thinking how many how many people would have the wherewithal to break into the Lou, but also someplace to unload the jewels.

What pawn shop takes the French crown jewels?

Can you take it to the corner pawn shop and say, "Hey, I found this in my attic." Did you now?

Did you find that in your attic?

cuz that looks a little familiar.

I've been to the Louv.

No, no, this isn't one of those Lou crowns.

This was in the attic.

Can you give me $100 for it?

Anyway, I'm sure they'll be caught pretty soon.

There's a New Jersey drone company that says they they were behind the uh drone sightings over the New Jersey airport.

Do you believe that?

So they were introducing their product and they said, "Yeah, we had a an agreement with the government that did not require us to disclose it." So we didn't.

And we've got these big ass 20 ft long uh drones that fly kind of funny.

And they're trying to tell us that their drones are the ones that were scaring people.

I'm going to say probably not.

Probably not.

I I am willing to believe that some of the drones were theirs.

Maybe some, maybe one.

But do you think that's the whole story?

Like the the whole drone story is that I'm going to say probably not, but it was a weird looking drone.

I have to admit.

So, speaking of weird looking drones, um, now there's a, uh, according to wonderful engineering, there's a new drone, uh, a rocket launching robot that also has a machine gun.

Not machine gun, a shotgun.

So, you can now get you can now get yourself a uh, grenade launching war ready robot dog.

So, it's in the form of a dog.

What would be more awesome than a dog that could throw a hand grenade and also had a shotgun?

How much do you want the shotgun hand grenade dog to guard your house?

I just want one.

Just one shotgun hand grenade dog and I'll I'll feel good.

That's all I want.

So wonderful engineering is talking about that.

Can you believe that Walter Konite once was on the Epstein flights to his island?

Walter Kankite.

Did you even know that those eras over overlapped?

Did you know that Walter Kankite was even alive?

When Epstein was taking people to his island?

When did When did Kronhite die?

I thought he died 100 years ago.

But apparently he was alive.

He was 91.

They dragged his wrinkly ass to Epstein's island.

There is no suggestion that he did anything untoward or inappropriate.

So I think it was just part of just part of Epstein trying to get as many rich people under his wing as possible.

At least we think he didn't do anything.

Meanwhile, there's another story in the New York Post about Epstein.

I guess he had this kind of a primary billionaire friend besides the aside from the Victoria Secret guy, he had another billionaire who was a big backer, Leon Black.

and and there's now some emails that have been discovered in which he was threatening Leon Black to continue his payments which apparently were $40 million a year for Epstein's financial advice which was unspecified and and uh Epstein was mad because I think some of his other sources of income had been uh cleaned up because he'd been accused by then so he didn't have too many other, you know, major places to get money, it looks like.

So, he was leaning on his billionaire friend pretty hard.

Leaning on him the way that you wouldn't lean on somebody unless you had some blackmail cuz the way he talked to him didn't sound exactly like you'd talk to somebody who was a friend or a colleague or just a business interest.

Sounded like somebody he made his So he's like, "You better give me the $40 million every year." 40 million.

That must have been some good advice he got there for that 40 million.

Even called the uh the billionaire's children because they had created a quote really dangerous mess by trying to stop the money flow to uh to Epstein.

He goes, "To be clear, my terms are as follows.

I will only work for the usual 40 million per year.

He won't work for a penny less than that.

You You offer epste $39 million per year?

No way.

He will not do it for less than 40.

He's a good negotiator.

Anyway, in other news, uh Australia's prime minister heading to the US to the White House.

I don't know if that's today.

I think tomorrow, I guess tomorrow.

I wanted to go talk about uh rare earth minerals and other stuff.

So, I did a little uh research on grock trying to figure out this rare earth mineral situation.

So, I guess we got 17 rare earth minerals um that are sort of the problem ones and we've got a whole bunch of allies such as Australia and Canada that do have access to those.

But what we don't know is how much access do they have?

How fast would it take them to ramp up?

And there's some thought that uh Trump's going to want to buy equity in a bunch of existing rare earth mining enterprises.

To which I say, that seems like the smartest idea, doesn't it?

Wouldn't the very best way to approach this be to buy an equity stake in as many uh allied country companies that do rare earth as we can so we you know we get up on the priority list there seems like that would be the obvious and then our investments would allow them to expand and so if that's where we're heading u massive equity investments in existing mining operations and refining operations I would smart.

That that looks like exactly what we should be doing.

Well, uh the uh who is it?

The chancellor MS of Germany, he got in trouble for saying that the uh cities over in Germany, the cityscapes are having uh challenges because of immigration.

So what happens to a leader in Germany when they point out the obvious that immigration is having an impact on the quality of life in the cities?

Well, he's in terrible trouble for even suggesting that that that immigrants could be causing any problems in Germany.

So now he's been called a racist, fascist, and you name it.

Every basically everything Mag has been called.

Um, and uh, all all the people in Germany heard is that he's some kind of a horrible immigrating guy, which uh, apparently is nothing like the truth.

So, good luck Germany.

It looks like the Holocaust destroyed Germany for good.

It just took took a few decades.

Um, twothirds of the German public want fewer migrants and nearly half of them think Europeans are being quote replaced.

Can you believe that was ever a debate, the the word replaced?

Because as soon as you use that word, it's just a fighting word.

Why do you need to say replaced?

You just we're all we're all observing what it is.

You know, more of one type, less of what another type.

As soon as you use the word replace, then suddenly you're racist.

But we're all looking at the same thing.

Nobody's arguing about what's happening.

So that's weird.

Wall Street Journal says that Venezuela is what they call couproof, meaning that uh even if the military warranted to do a coup against Maduro, their cartel 11 boss, uh it'd be hard to do because he's already purged all the anti-Maduro people.

A lot of purging going on.

I guess the purging and the torturing and the jailing of his enemies was so aggressive that the military is completely cowed.

And on top of that, I I didn't know about this so much, but apparently Maduro uses Cuba's intelligence people for his own, you know, power purposes.

So, he's got some kind of a tight connection with Cuba's uh intel people.

And I guess they're pretty good, the Cuban intel people.

So they're gonna keep him in business.

So not so coup proof, but I don't think it's a coup that's going to take him out of business.

I think it'll be a a bomb.

Something tells me that Maduro is going to be exploding pretty soon.

I don't know when.

Anyway, uh let's talk about that Gaza ceasefire.

How many of you thought that Gaza and the IDF would declare a ceasefire and then nobody would break the ceasefire?

Is is there even one person in the world who thought the ceasefire would hold?

No.

No.

But will it make a difference?

I think probably not because what matters is how many military assets are there in the first place.

So if they've drawn down the military assets 98% on both sides, yeah, there'll be some ceasefires broken by the 2% that they that they have trouble mopping up.

So yes, ceasefires will be broken.

Yes, there are people on both sides who want the peace to end.

Probably won't.

I feel like we're off to a good enough start as long as they keep the major military assets out of there.

there just won't be that much to ceasefire over.

All right.

Um, apparently, uh, Zalinski asked for tomahawk missiles and as you know, Trump said, "Not so fast.

We're not going to give you those Tomahawk missiles right away.

We're going to go talk to Russia first because then they've got something to trade away." they can say we're totally going to give these to Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine uh if you don't talk peace pretty soon.

Now, I did hear from somebody who seemed to know more than I do about tomahawk missiles that they might not be all that cracked up to be and meaning that Russia has the ability to shoot them down and also that you would need some kind of ground launchers that would have to be operated by Americans.

So, if we put Tomahawks in Ukraine, it would basically just be America going to war with Russia because it would take I guess it would take too long to train the Ukrainian to push the button.

How does that work?

You know, we we'll program it for you.

We'll target it for you using our satellites and we'll program it, but make sure you get a Ukrainian over here to push that button.

Is that what it looks like?

Is Russia going to say, "Oh, that looks like totally a war with Ukraine." Or are they going to say, "Uh, that looks like a lot like a war with the United States." So, I think Trump is playing it exactly correct by holding out that risk.

And I don't know, you know, Russia probably thinks that we could put the ground launchers there if we wanted to.

So, I would imagine he's got something to trade away now.

And I would imagine that in the next few days and weeks, you're going to see massive more attacks on the energy infrastructure of Russia and vice versa.

So, we'll see.

We'll see if Trump can get this done.

My guess would be they'll have one more conversation, Putin and Trump, and maybe not much will come from it, and then things will have to get much worse again.

Because I I don't think we're at the place where it's worse enough.

Do you Ukraine seems perfectly willing to stick in there and keep fighting and I don't see Russia cracking.

So you would need at least one of the sides to sort of be on the edge of maybe this is a bad idea.

But we don't really see that.

We see both sides saying, "Oh, it's a good idea for now.

It's a good idea." So can Trump can Trump change that reality?

You know, I told you with Gaza that what Trump did is not negotiate.

Negotiating isn't what made that work.

What worked was he changed reality.

He just he just changed how he thought about reality and then it all came together.

He'll have to do the same thing with Ukraine.

I don't know how he would change reality, but he's saying stuff like he he is making him think past the sail.

So that that's his usual trick.

So his usual trick is he's telling them, you know, you can just walk away.

Both sides, you know, you could just walk away.

Russia, you can just literally turn around and walk away and the war's over, you know, as long as Ukraine does, too.

So that's actually pretty powerful because you got people, you know, dying and it's costing money and it's this gigantic problem.

imagine if somebody came to you and they've got this gigantic, complicated, deadly life and death problem and your solution is you could just walk away.

That's it.

You could just stop and then it would all be over.

You could almost certainly keep the stuff that you've already captured.

You're not going to capture anymore anyway.

You could just stop.

That is actually a super powerful message because you're you're taking a rational person, Putin, you know, even if you hate him, he's a monster, blah blah blah.

He's a monster.

He's the devil.

Okay, but he's rational.

So, he's not going to just keep beating his head against the wall if there's nothing on the other side of the wall.

So, you just say, "Here's your choices.

You can keep doing this forever and we're in.

We we'll keep it because remember Trump has put the United States in the perfect position.

So you want us to sell more weapons and test more weapons and get smarter about how well our weapons work in war.

All right, take your time.

Nothing's changing on the battlefield except, you know, people dying.

And apparently neither side cares too much about that.

So go ahead.

But anytime you want to, anytime in 10 minutes, you can make the whole thing stop.

All you have to do is give the order.

Just say stop.

If you say stop, I'll tell Ukraine to stop and then we're stopped.

It's over.

So I don't know.

Is that a negotiation or is that changing reality?

The reality is you're not fighting for anything.

Oh, there it is.

There it is.

There it is.

Did you feel that when I said it?

The reality is neither side is fighting for anything anymore.

Mostly Russia.

They're not fighting for anything because there's nothing to win.

They're not going to go any further.

Telling them they're fighting for nothing makes you look irrational.

I don't think Putin wants to look irrational, does he?

I feel like that would be a strong approach.

You realize you're fighting for nothing, right?

That that if we go another 6 months, what do you think you're going to get?

What do you think you'll get if you fight for another 6 months?

Nothing.

More dead people, less energy security, you know, worse worse relations with the rest of the world.

What do you think you're going to get in six months?

It's only going to be worse.

So, I think I think Trump does have an argument that that he can press.

Anyway, so this of course is coming.

The U according to interesting engineering also, US is developing missiles that don't need GPS to find you.

They don't need GPS.

So, in other words, it will just look at the ground the way a person would and say, "Huh, looks like um oh, I'm about a mile away from that place and then it will just sort of go to where it needs to go.

I guess it can get within 16 ft of whatever they want and they can make these little flying robots um that are only that weigh less than five pounds each missile.

I'm I call it a flying robot, but it's a missile.

It would be a 5B missile that can fly over 60 miles an hour and can hit a target within 16 ft without any GPS.

What is if you were if you were Russia and you found out that we had, you know, already on the lab board and were ready to massproduce these uh missiles that weigh 5 lbs, fly 60 mph, and can hit something without being jammed, wouldn't you kind of hurry up a little bit on the peace deal?

Cuz you don't want that stuff coming down on you, do you?

No, you don't.

All right.

So, um, I did terrible planning today because I ended a little too soon.

So, I'm going to try to do is I'm going to text, uh, King Randall, see if he wants to go early.

Uh, can you go early?

He has to show up on my studio setup before I can invite him in.

Go early.

He might be watching.

I hope he is.

All right.

So, I'll keep an eye out for him to be joining.

He will be joining right there if he joins.

Participants right now.

I'm the only participant.

But while we're waiting for that, I know what you want.

I know what you want.

You want some more?

You want some more?

for uh reframes, don't you?

So, more reframes from my book will change your life while we're waiting for uh King Randle to slide in.

All right.

Oh, here's one that has really helped me a lot.

Uh or the regular frame is that when you take a job, your job is whatever your boss tells you is a job, right?

So you go to work, they say, "What's my job description?" Here's your job description.

If you take the job description as your job, you will not go far.

Right?

How many of you already knew that?

That if if you do the job that you're given exactly as it's described, exactly the job description, you will not do well in life.

you're going to have to figure out what what it should be, not what it is.

So, you want to make sure that what you're doing is better for the company and better for your boss than whatever they told you to do.

Now, that's not easy if you're not smart.

Won't be easy to do.

But instead of your instead of your job is what your boss tells you it is.

Um, here's a reframe.

Your job is to get a better job.

How do you get a better job?

Usually by doing more than you were asked to do.

That that's what that's what uh flags you for promotion.

It's like, oh, Scott did everything we asked him to do, but he created this other project on his own and that worked out.

You're first in line for the promotion.

So, never do what your job is.

You should do whatever it is that will get you a better job.

Now, that might include um learning on your current job how to go to a different company and get a better job, but it's always about you.

It's not about the job.

Make sure the make sure it's about you.

All right, here's another one.

Um these are a lot of these are my favorites that really changed my life completely.

Um have you ever just said to yourself, you're bored with life?

Do you ever just wake up and you're like, "God, I am so bored with life." Oh, it's just going to be another day like yesterday.

Go to work, eat my stupid sandwich, come home, commute.

So, if you're bored with life, here's my reframe.

The problem is not boredom.

The problem is that you're not embarrassing yourself enough.

You're not embarrassing yourself enough.

You need to put yourself in some shaky, iffy situations.

Now, not dangerous.

Doesn't have to be dangerous.

It doesn't have to be, you know, life-threatening, but for example, uh oh, King Randle's here.

Let me just finish my point, then I'll invite him in.

Um, for example, if you uh have never taken a class on public speaking, most of you would be horrified by it, right?

Public speaking is scary.

If you're bored, do that.

Do something scary.

It'll it'll totally take you out of your boredom.

Uh, if you're bored, go ask somebody out that you know will say no.

Hey, worth a shot.

But it's not boring.

So if you're bored, increase your um increase your risk of being embarrassed and you'll find it just opens up your whole life.

Suddenly you can talk to anybody.

You can talk to a stranger.

You can ask somebody out.

You could ask for that job you think you'll be turned down for.

Just do something that will be embarrassing.

It'll solve your problem immediately and you'll be happy probably.

All right, let's see if I can get King in here.

This will be a test of my abilities except and now uh in theory in theory.

>> Hey, there you are.

Can you hear me, Kang?

>> Hey, how are you?

>> Let's hear you.

>> Can you hear me?

>> I can hear you.

>> Awesome.

>> Perfect.

So nice to meet you in person.

I've we've uh we've messaged back and forth and tried to get together a few times, but uh I had some issues and I apologize for those, but so glad you could join.

So let me let me give you the big picture and then I'll let you talk to the people.

Okay.

>> Okay.

>> So big big picture is you started and run a school for boys in Georgia.

>> Where in Georgia?

>> Albany, Georgia.

We're about two and a half hours south of Atlanta.

How many kids in the school?

>> We have 25 right now.

>> 25.

Now, uh I've been watching your social media for several years and I always see all black kids, but I know that you you invited a white kid in recently.

And how'd that go?

Did he make it?

>> Yeah, of course.

So, the the thing is here in Albany, we have a 77% African-American population.

So, usually you're just going to see mostly uh black children, but we've had um Hispanic children.

We've had white children before.

Um, but I also tell people I can't make anyone sign up their their children.

Um, so you know, Eli, his mom signed him up and you know, he was he was welcome in with open arms.

Uh, so the biggest thing for us is you know, just letting people know just about the demographic uh, you know, in Albany.

We don't have a whole lot of white people in Albany.

So it's tough trying to uh, you know, expand the races there.

Right.

Well, one of the things I I love about your operation is that you're everything you do seems smart and not not some like weird political thing.

So, you're not concentrated on race.

It just sort of works out that way, which is fine.

So, so here's what I've been most impressed by.

I I assume the school does all the usual reading and writing stuff.

And for what ages?

>> Uh, right now we've taken our age groups down to ages six through nine.

We were doing ages 11 to 17 in our first uh six years of the program.

Uh we changed the age groups because uh we've realized that many children are starting to lose themselves a lot sooner uh than ages 11 to 17.

We have kids, you know, who are in third grade, second grade, smoking, uh talking about sex or whatever, etc.

And so most of those kids um they are just looking for somewhere where it's cool to do the right thing because when they're doing the right thing at school or anywhere else they get picked on or you know nobody wants to be your friend.

So we've created a space where you get rewarded for doing the right thing.

You get rewarded for reading.

You get rewarded for learning your workshops.

You get rewarded for uh getting good grades and things like that.

So, um, that's what we've created and now those children are taking it in and those children are more willing to, uh, stay the right way versus trying to get a child who's lost himself and then trying to fix it.

So, >> so there's a whole bunch that I observe you doing on your social media that is so good.

I want want to mention all of it.

But you have a uh impressive what I call a talent stack.

meaning that your specific talents even being able to do this so well uh you know you've got the education you got the working with the kids but you also have a whole bunch of skills which you're teaching the kids from how to change the oil to how to replace a doorork knob to uh dinner manners to all these things.

So you you've got this impressive um set of skills that you have which I think is a role model situation for those kids.

That's unbelievable.

Like ju just the fact that they can spend time around you >> and observe somebody building a skill stack that all fits together.

>> Wow.

Wow.

By the way, the other thing that I love most, I've seen you mention this is that you come from a non nonvictimization mindset.

Of course.

Absolutely.

>> Say more.

>> I was taught Yeah.

I was taught, you know, growing up with my granddads and uncles, we worked for everything.

And a lot of the stuff that people, you know, kind of uh think of these days, uh, as far as the the liberal ideas and things, I was never taught that.

I mean, we grew all of our own food in the backyard.

We didn't grow up in the best neighborhood.

Um, but everybody in the neighborhood loved each other.

I mean, we grew, everybody in the neighborhood grew food.

We traded food.

We had chickens in our yard.

Um, we had dogs.

Uh, we had rabbits.

I mean, we had a whole bunch of animals, but we grew everything we wanted to eat.

If I got home from school, and this is like 2012, 2013 time.

Um, I got home from school and my mom asked us what we wanted to eat.

We had to go outside and pick it.

We even grew the seasonings.

Um, my my dad taught me how to paint cars.

Um, my stepdad taught me how to build everything.

We built our sheds in the backyards.

We built our dogouses.

We welded.

We built our own grills.

So when I was growing up, because our whole neighborhood was learning from each other, I thought that other kids just knew this stuff because that's how I grew up.

And so as I became an adult and realized like kids don't know how to fix a car or know how to work on a house or put in a window or paint something, um it was tough.

So that that was the idea.

I started the program out of my house.

I was 19 years old.

I started the program out of my house uh in my dining room and we went from there.

And so, uh, we grew from just being in my dining room to, you know, having the facilities we have now to having staff, uh, to affecting, uh, so many kids.

And I'm so glad that our donors, you know, have been, uh, so helpful to us because we don't take any government grants.

As soon as you start getting the government involved, we can't teach about God and we can't teach about these things.

And we're exclusively going to teach uh, Christianity and we're going to make sure our children uh, aren't victims.

We believe in God and we believe in Jesus and that's what we want to make happen.

So, u that's what we've been doing and um our donors have made sure that this program has been able to flourish uh for the last seven years and um I'm grateful to everyone who supports our program.

>> Yeah.

Uh the other thing I like about you is that you're aggressively non-political.

>> Yes.

>> You don't have to be aggressive.

Yeah.

>> You don't have to be super political.

you know, um some the other day, uh somebody uh tweeted, well, they made a comment on my Instagram and said they donate 20 grand if I disassociate myself from, you know, MAGA and Donald Trump.

And I'm just like, when have I ever mentioned that?

But it it just speaks to, you know, just that side in general because for me to just be teaching boys responsibility and and how to work for themselves and how to make, you know, uh honest money um and take care of their families and stuff and you just assume that that's MAGA, uh that's insane.

Um I'm just like I I've never said anything like that.

Of course, uh I was invited to the White House by uh President Trump uh back in February for the Black History Month event.

And I was explaining to them, you know, um about that event.

I'm like, he was inviting people who are doing work uh in the black community.

And um either you wanted him to recognize us or you didn't.

I got a lot of flack for going to that event, but like I told them, I'm like, if he wouldn't have recognized black people for doing anything, he'd be so terrible.

And then we're stupid for going.

I I mean, it's it's insane.

But, you know, I don't listen to those things.

Our students were proud.

I took them to visit the White House um back in I think it was this March or April, I believe.

I took them to visit the White House and we had a great time uh there with their parents and and it was a it was a beautiful thing.

So, you know, here we are uh in 2025 trying to tell them that we're not political and Donald Trump has no affiliation with us, but who cares?

I mean, even if he did, he's the president of the United States.

um why wouldn't we want to be recognized by the the the biggest figure, you know, in our country?

A >> and uh just just to be practical, you're always in fundraising mode because you're not you're not backed by the government.

So, can you tell the people if uh I'm going to say some more good things about you and they'll they'll be all primed to to to donate.

Some of them will be, but uh how would they do that?

What what would be the mechanism?

>> You can go to our website at thex forboy.org.

org.

That's t h e x f o rb o ys.org.

Everything that you hear me explain in here, we have photos of all of it on our website like uh teaching them how to do fencing, plasma cutting, firearms training, everything's on our website that you want to see.

Even from the financials, uh you can go see all that stuff on our website.

And of course, if you want to see us on social media, our biggest thing I tell people all the time, a lot of people wish um that uh they could give and some people can't.

But I always tell them a retweet, a comment, all those things are gifts.

Um because that helps push it to other people who may can give.

So I always tell people any small thing uh helps our program.

We have people who give $3, $1, but it matters.

Um so I'm I'm grateful uh to many people.

And I did see a comment about uh the religious uh teaching.

We definitely do that every week.

Our students pray every day.

Um and we make sure we do Bible study with our students.

Um it's it's it's a real thing uh here in Albany.

And of course, I will add anybody who ever wants to come and visit, as long as we can do a background check on you, we open uh we open it up for anybody to come visit, especially our donors because it's better when you can put your hands on it and see what's going on.

So, we're down in Alb, Georgia.

If you shoot me an email, you can definitely come visit.

>> So, so let me tell let me tell you what uh lights me up when I watch your social media.

Um my my uh upbringing involved learning how to work on a farm, how to do like 10 different jobs from mowing lawns to fixing things to everything.

And the result of that is that I was confident in any new situation.

So I would never say I can't figure this out because I figured everything out.

You know, there was always some adult there who told me how to figure it out.

But I was like, "Oh, I don't know how to do that.

I'll figure that out.

And when I watch you working with the kids, whether it's changing a doorork knob or, you know, doing some of those other car related things, changing a tire, I say to myself, what you're really teaching them is that they can do anything.

You You're not really teaching them tires, you're teaching them confidence.

And when I see when I see >> when I see them learn confidence, but then I also see them hanging around a tremendous role model, which I think you are, they just have a superpower.

Like when I watch those kids, you you also have a standard where you have them respond to you as you're talking.

Like you'll say, "Absolutely.

>> Do you see what I've done with this uh doorork knob?" And then the then the kids go, "Yes, sir." Right.

>> Mhm.

Absolutely.

And they all do.

They all do.

And when I watch when I watch that, let's say habit of forming respect, I think, my god, these these kids are literally developing a superpower that if they walked into a job interview with with that set of manners and they could go to a dinner and they would they know which forks to use, which you know, I didn't know at that age.

I didn't know what fork to use.

>> So, I could have used almost all of that training at that age.

Yep.

And we uh we've taught um like etiquette classes um for the students and we got a lot of push back for the etiquette classes.

People told us that we were trying to teach the kids how to be white um just for simply teaching them, you know, to eat with their mouth closed and to not talk about certain things at the table.

It's insane.

>> Let me give you a reframe that will help you if they say that you're teaching them to be white.

No, you're teaching how to deal in a world in which there's a lot of white people.

>> Absolutely.

That's what what you teach is strategy.

That when I watch it, I it looks like you're teaching lessons, but it's all strategy.

>> The strategy is if you if you can become the kind of person who can pick up these lessons, the kind of person who can deal with white people, black people, all kinds of people.

>> Success.

>> Absolutely.

>> Yeah.

>> Yep.

And the confidence thing is is the biggest piece.

Uh especially when teaching them how to work with their hands.

We have a lot of kids, you know, who are not academically inclined or athletically inclined.

So, you got those kids that are kind of in the middle.

But when we teach them how to work with their hands and then their moms, they finally able to say, "I'm proud of you for something." And we give them certificates and things like that.

Now, they're able to walk differently and and feel like they can accomplish something.

Um, and that's very, very important to give a child.

He needs confidence in something.

And sometimes they may not be a straight A student and they may not be the best on the football field, but if I can teach them to be the best at this plumbing uh or or being a diesel mechanic or whatever or even just teaching them how to properly eat or properly read, um all that builds confidence.

It's very important.

>> And then you're also building terribly important I think is a network of kids who are like-minded.

Like you can't beat that.

Can't beat that.

>> Absolutely.

It's like a fraternity.

you know, these kids, we've had kids graduate, go to the military or whatever, and we have them come back.

They always come back after they, you know, come back home or whatever and come spend time with the new students.

And it's funny because when they look at how those kids act, and they're like, "You were that kid at one point.

I still got old videos of you when you were sitting around doing those things." And so now they're able to um to discipline and and to teach and and to show that I'm a product of this.

Um so it's very important.

I I absolutely love the the the the network we're creating, like you said.

>> All right.

So, so there's a little uh lesson being uh formed here.

So, I saw a maybe slightly racist comment in the in the comments that suggested you should teach the kids how to say the word ask.

>> That is No, that's that's not racist.

That's a that's an accent thing, man.

Um I'm from South Georgia and you know, I don't hear my accent until I go like up north or something like that.

Um, but down here, you know, we understand what we're saying.

And even the white people here, they they do the same thing.

Um, we're just we're just southern.

Um, southern people have different accents.

It's just like up north, you say things a little bit differently or whatever.

So, that's just an accent thing.

I I don't think we can get away from it.

>> So, here here's what I would add add to that, which is that I would put that under strategy.

So again, it's not do I talk like my people, do I talk like the the place I came, or do I make sure that somebody doesn't think poorly of me just by using this word that they expect me to use.

So I I would shoot that as a strategy, not not a, you know, not a way of talking.

Definitely got to be able to turn the accent on and off because how I talk to you and how I talk to like my friends would be completely different because I know other people just can't understand like our southern accent.

It's real deep.

And my my uncles and stuff, they were like cowboys.

They're worse than me.

Like I mean their country accents are so deep.

Um you never understand what they're saying.

And and there is nothing wrong with teaching a kid to not be natural and not be themselves.

They you need to adapt to the situation if you want to be >> you have to.

>> I agree.

>> All right.

So what what would you like the uh the audience to know that I haven't mentioned already?

>> Um I guess for us, you know, I always tell people you could do this same thing where you are.

Um I started um what I'm doing right here in a small town in Albany, Georgia.

a population of 69,000 people.

Um, one of the uh definitely more worst places as far as statistics in the country.

Um, but we were able to build something successful here.

Um, and I always tell people, you don't have to have a massive organization or a massive following to start anything.

All of this stuff I started, you know, as a 19-year-old with no following.

Nobody knew who I was.

And I just wanted it.

And nobody can want it for you.

You have to want to see your own community better.

You have to want to get up and, you know, go clean up your own your own trash in your neighborhood.

and just all of those things, you have to want to do it.

So, if you just start by making somebody smile and start by looking at those kids next door to you or just not blaming everyone for our issues, I mean, we point so many fingers.

It's the Democrat's fault.

It's the Republicans's fault.

It's the politicians.

It's this person's fault.

Versus just looking in the mirror like, "Hey, I could be doing a little bit more.

I could be doing a lot more in my neighborhood.

I could be spending some time uh at the schools and helping the kids." So, before we, you know, point fingers, let's figure out what it is that we can do.

And if you feel like you're doing enough, do some more.

>> Absolutely.

the like the most important words ever spoken.

I could do more >> just for every >> do more.

Always >> do more.

>> Now I'm curious.

>> Have you ever heard of my book how to how to failed almost everything and still win big?

Have you ever >> I have not.

No.

>> The one of the things that fascinates me about you is how compatible your thinking is with mine.

Like we it's almost like we're the same brain, two people.

And that that book uh teaches 14 years and up how to have a system in life as opposed to a goal.

>> Goal might be play in the NBA, but you know really a system a system would be learn as many valuable things as you can to be more value.

So stuff like that.

So it's meant to fill in all of those.

Uh if you're 14, how do you figure out how to be a successful 20-year-old?

Um, so >> got you.

>> If if you'd like a copy of that, I'll I'll send you a copy if you want to check it out.

>> Yeah, I'll I'll send you my PO box.

Most definitely.

>> Okay, we'll take we'll do that.

Um, and uh, anything else you want to tell them?

>> Um, no, I just appreciate uh you bringing me on first of all.

I'm glad to be here.

Uh, I know you've been dealing with some things, but I'm glad to be here and I've been praying for you.

Um, but definitely I appreciate all the support uh that people give uh to our program.

Uh like I said, this program runs exclusively because of people that believe in us and uh us having to be good stewards.

It's definitely expensive.

We operate five days a week.

We pick the kids up from school.

Uh we feed them every day.

We have staff members.

Um we have property, you know, etc.

So just everything that everybody does to keep us afloat for for seven years going on seven years now in January.

It's been a beautiful thing and I'm glad.

And and again, if you want to support our program, you can follow me on social media at newemerging king on all platforms or you can go to our website at thexfors.org.

That's t h e x f o r b o ys.org.

Perfect.

You know, I I like uh boosting you because I I have one of these uh one of my secrets for life is that you should be working on at least one thing that could change the whole world.

>> I agree.

even if it's very unlikely.

Now, you're the one doing the work, but because I have a, you know, platform and I can boost you >> today.

Today, I'm boosting you because if if if you catch on, it changes the world.

>> I I I think that's I think that's how powerful what you're doing is.

It would change the world.

>> So, >> yes, sir.

>> My my audience and I will try to be a small part of that to give you a boost.

>> Definitely.

Thank you.

and and thank you for taking the time.

It's it's a real pleasure to meet you in in person sort of.

>> Yep.

I'll get I'll make my way out there.

Most definitely.

You just let me know when you're free.

>> Okay.

Okay.

We'll do that.

All right.

Thanks, King.

Um I'm going to say goodbye to everybody here and uh you've been great.

Appreciate it.

And we'll we'll talk later.

>> All right.

Bye.

>> Bye.

All right, people.

Uh, I'm going to talk to the uh locals people privately because I know you want to.

And uh, the rest of you I'll see tomorrow, same time, same place.

All right.

are. Hey everybody, come on in. You know

what time it is.

We got a special guest today and it

could not be more fitting.

That's right. Yesterday was no king's

day. Today will be my guest King Randall

to talk about his boy school. We'll do

that at the end of the podcast.

But for now, let's make sure I've got my

comments working here.

Let's make sure it all works. If my

technology works, we're going to have

quite the experience.

[Music]

Come on, technology, you can do it.

Good morning, everybody, and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization.

It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and

you've never had a better time. But if

you'd like to experience life at a

higher level of excitement, all you need

for that

is a copper, a mug, or a glass of tanker

shells in a canteen jug or flask, a

vessel of any kind. Fill it with your

favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join

me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

the dopamine of the day, the thing that

makes everything better. It's called the

simultaneous sip. when it happens now.

Go.

Ah, delicious.

All right. In case you're wondering, uh,

this is not a new microphone.

What it is, as I was going to

demonstrate, it's for, uh, it's a phone

holder.

Boink.

Boink. So you can put your phone here

and then you can uh you can show people

what you're looking at with your hands.

So your hands are free. So last night I

uh did an impromptu

demonstration of drawing a Dilbert comic

with my left hand because I have to draw

left-handed now. I got a problem with my

right hand. Um and I just showed my

camera as I as my hands drew the comic.

So that's on X right now. I'll do the

same thing for my beloved local

subscribers. We'll do that privately

later.

But if you'd like to see how the drawing

looks when you're the actual artist

looking at the paper, it's kind of cool.

So, I just wanted to show you that

that's a thing,

but can I get it off? There we go. There

we go. All right. Like I said, King

Randall will be joining me, if my

technology works, toward the end of this

hour to talk about his boys school,

which is very impressive. I think you're

going to like that. Um,

I wonder if there's any science

about coffee. Oh, yeah. Turns out that

according to the uh nutrition,

metabolism and cardiac disease people,

coffee can lower your uh your blood

pressure. But it's the first time I've

seen one of these coffee stories where

they say, "But we don't have the

causation nailed down,"

which is exactly what I would have said.

Do you think it's true that people who

uh have high blood pressure drink as

much coffee as people who don't? Because

isn't that one of the first things they

tell you? Drink less coffee if you have

high blood pressure. So, I'm not so sure

about this science, but I like it.

All right. As tradition requires, I'm

going to do a reframe from my book,

Reframe Your Brain. The only book I have

that is

still uh cooking along at a fivestar

rating.

That's impressive. It's hard to get a

fivestar rating on a book. Um

here you go. Um one of my favorite.

This might be actually the best one of

all. You know, there there are a handful

of these reframes that are truly

life-changing more than others. Here's

one. Manage your time is what most

people teach you to manage your time.

All right? Make sure you've got enough

time. Manage your time. I've reframed

that to manage your energy. Now, it does

matter what kind of job you have. If

you're being paid by the hour, you're

going to have to manage your time. But

the the uh the idea here is you want to

eventually try to live your life in a

way that you can manage your energy. And

what I mean by that is

at this exact time of the day for me,

you know, everybody's different, but for

me, this is exactly

what I want to be doing this time of

day. I want to be doing something

creative, maybe something a little bit

social in its own way.

But if I were not in the mood to do

this, it wouldn't come out very well. So

I match I match my energy to whatever it

is I need to do. So I if you know at the

moment I can't work out but if I could

work out I do it in the afternoon

because my brain energy is low but my

body energy is fine. In the morning my

brain energy is high but my body energy

is a little lower. So I do the creative

stuff. So manage your

energy.

Don't only manage your time. All right.

Um, apparently there's some big meteor

shower tomorrow that we're all getting

to see. It's going to be a good one.

It's always after midnight, of course.

Um, and for a couple hours tomorrow,

you'll see the Oronidis Orin Orinis,

some kind of a dust left behind by

Haley's comment. You should see 20

shooting stars per hour. I feel like I'm

going to stay up for that.

Well, I'll never stay up for it, but I

might go to sleep and then wake up for

it four hours later. Do you know that

stuff? They used to do it in the old

days. Uh, I saw that in social media. In

the olden days, it was common for people

to go to sleep when it got dark, but

then they would wake up around midnight

and spend an hour or two doing something

else and then they go back to sleep. But

apparently people would just all wake up

midnight and hang out in the old days.

Well, as you know, yesterday was the

so-called no kings rally around the

country or as uh some have tagged it

grandifa.

Grandifa because all grandparents

7 million million protesters they claim.

I'm sure that's overstated. in 2700

locations.

So,

let's see how they did. Any any kings?

Well, except for my upcoming guest

today, King Randall. No extra kings. No

extra kings. Surprisingly. Yeah. Um, and

here's my question.

If you have a no kings rally in 2700

places with 7 million protesters and the

so-called fascist government in charge,

the only response to it is

two insulting memes.

That was it. that the entire push back

to 7 million people demanding that the

Constitution be followed was, "Oh,

here's a funny meme." Nothing else.

Because you know where you can't have 7

million people running around protesting

no kings?

Anywhere there's a king.

If you had a king, you'd not be doing

that. That's for sure. You wouldn't be

doing any of that.

So, and then it got funnier because

apparently some decision was made and I

don't know by whom or why to hand out

lots of American flags.

Now, what do you think when you see a

big crowd of people with American flags?

Don't you think they're Republicans?

So, somehow it it was 100% peaceful,

which I compliment them on. 100%

peaceful and they were carrying American

flags

and they were uh promoting

constitutional rights.

Am I wrong that they just held a

Republican rally

flag

peaceful

obey the constitution?

It's a mega It was a mega event, right?

especially because it was senior

citizens.

The the the fact that people got paid

for organizing this is hilarious because

what exactly did they get paid for to

promote the uh the virtues of the other

side?

Have you heard of any Republican who was

put out or somehow offended

or somehow had a big problem with the no

kings thing? I have not heard of one

Republican who had any problem with it

at all or even cared even cared if it

happened. I I looked at it and I

thought, "Oh, looks like people are

getting together over this whole support

the Constitution and wave the American

flag thing. H maybe that's a good sign."

So, I don't know what they thought they

would accomplish, but it definitely did

not remove it didn't remove Trump from

office, if that's what they're hoping

for.

The Department of Homeland Security gets

the win for the best uh post. Uh,

somebody brought a giant inflatable

penis,

like a balloon that was shaped like a

penis with a package. And uh the

Department of Homeland Security took a

picture of that and posted on X and the

caption was Gavin Newsome has shown up

to the riot.

I I love the fact that the Trump

administration is just mocking it, but

not even mocking it hard. They're

they're just sort of gently mocking it

like There you go. There you go. Tap tap

tap on the head. Good boy. Good boy. Go

ahead. It's hilarious.

Meanwhile, over at the Louv in France,

robbers actually broke into the Louve

and stole the French crown jewels.

Now, if you were the Lou,

wouldn't you put a little uh extra

security around the French crown jewels?

Nope. Somebody snuck in and stole the

crown jewels.

Now, I guess the backstory is there was

some uh some kind of work being done on

the facility. So, that gave them an

opening to get in. Ordinarily,

ordinarily it would be more secure. Uh

but they got in, they stole the crown

jewels, and then somebody dropped um I

guess the crown that's the greatest of

the crown jewels, Empress Eugenia's

crown, and broke it.

Imagine dropping it and breaking it.

Like like what would that feel like?

You're like, "Ah,

I just broke into the lof. I got the

crown jewels. Look at me. I got the Oh

Well, we just leave them there and

then they just leave them there." But

I'm also thinking

how many how many people would have the

wherewithal to break into the Lou,

but also someplace to unload the jewels.

What pawn shop takes the French crown

jewels?

Can you take it to the corner pawn shop

and say, "Hey,

I found this in my attic." Did you now?

Did you find that in your attic? cuz

that looks a little familiar. I've been

to the Louv. No, no, this isn't one of

those Lou crowns. This was in the attic.

Can you give me $100 for it?

Anyway, I'm sure they'll be caught

pretty soon. There's a New Jersey drone

company

that says they they were behind the uh

drone sightings over the New Jersey

airport. Do you believe that? So they

were introducing their product and they

said, "Yeah, we had a an agreement with

the government that did not require us

to disclose it." So we didn't. And we've

got these big ass 20 ft long uh drones

that fly kind of funny. And they're

trying to tell us that their drones are

the ones that were scaring people. I'm

going to say probably not. Probably not.

I I am willing to believe that some of

the drones were theirs. Maybe some,

maybe one.

But do you think that's the whole story?

Like the the whole drone story is that

I'm going to say probably not, but it

was a weird looking drone. I have to

admit.

So, speaking of weird looking drones,

um, now there's a, uh, according to

wonderful engineering, there's a new

drone, uh, a rocket launching robot that

also has a machine gun. Not machine gun,

a shotgun. So, you can now get you can

now get yourself a uh,

grenade launching war ready robot dog.

So, it's in the form of a dog.

What would be more awesome than a dog

that could throw a hand grenade and also

had a shotgun?

How much do you want the shotgun hand

grenade dog to guard your house?

I just want one. Just one shotgun hand

grenade dog and I'll I'll feel good.

That's all I want.

So wonderful engineering is talking

about that.

Can you believe that Walter Konite

once was on the Epstein flights to his

island? Walter Kankite. Did you even

know that those eras over overlapped?

Did you know that Walter Kankite was

even alive?

When Epstein was taking people to his

island? When did When did Kronhite die?

I thought he died 100 years ago. But

apparently he was alive. He was 91.

They dragged his wrinkly ass to

Epstein's island. There is no suggestion

that he did anything untoward or

inappropriate. So I think it was just

part of just part of Epstein trying to

get as many rich people under his wing

as possible.

At least we think he didn't do anything.

Meanwhile, there's another story in the

New York Post about Epstein. I guess he

had this kind of a primary billionaire

friend besides the aside from the

Victoria Secret guy, he had another

billionaire who was a big backer, Leon

Black.

and and there's now some emails that

have been discovered in which he was

threatening Leon Black to continue his

payments which apparently were $40

million a year for Epstein's financial

advice which was unspecified

and and uh Epstein was mad because I

think some of his other sources of

income had been uh cleaned up because

he'd been accused by then so he didn't

have too many other, you know, major

places to get money, it looks like. So,

he was leaning on his billionaire friend

pretty hard. Leaning on him the way that

you wouldn't lean on somebody unless you

had some blackmail

cuz the way he talked to him didn't

sound exactly like you'd talk to

somebody who was a friend or a colleague

or just a business interest. Sounded

like somebody he made his So he's

like, "You better give me the $40

million

every year." 40 million. That must have

been some good advice he got there for

that 40 million.

Even called the uh the billionaire's

children

because they had created a quote really

dangerous mess by trying to stop the

money flow to uh to Epstein. He goes,

"To be clear, my terms are as follows. I

will only work for the usual 40 million

per year. He won't work for a penny less

than that. You You offer epste $39

million per year? No way. He will not do

it for less than 40. He's a good

negotiator.

Anyway, in other news, uh Australia's

prime minister heading to the US to the

White House. I don't know if that's

today. I think tomorrow, I guess

tomorrow. I wanted to go talk about uh

rare earth minerals and other stuff. So,

I did a little uh research on grock

trying to figure out this rare earth

mineral situation. So, I guess we got 17

rare earth minerals

um that are sort of the problem ones and

we've got a whole bunch of allies such

as Australia and Canada that do have

access to those. But what we don't know

is how much access do they have? How

fast would it take them to ramp up? And

there's some thought that uh Trump's

going to want to buy equity in a bunch

of existing rare earth mining

enterprises. To which I say, that seems

like the smartest idea, doesn't it?

Wouldn't the very best way to approach

this be to buy an equity stake in as

many uh allied country companies that do

rare earth as we can so we you know we

get up on the priority list there seems

like that would be the obvious and then

our investments would allow them to

expand and so if that's where we're

heading u massive equity investments in

existing

mining operations and refining

operations I would

smart. That that looks like exactly what

we should be doing.

Well, uh the uh who is it? The

chancellor MS of Germany, he got in

trouble for saying that the uh cities

over in Germany, the cityscapes are

having uh challenges because of

immigration. So what happens to a leader

in Germany when they point out the

obvious that immigration is having an

impact on the quality of life in the

cities? Well, he's in terrible trouble

for even suggesting that that that

immigrants could be causing any problems

in Germany. So now he's been called a

racist, fascist, and you name it. Every

basically everything Mag has been

called. Um,

and uh, all all the people in Germany

heard is that he's some kind of a

horrible immigrating guy, which uh,

apparently is nothing like the truth.

So, good luck Germany.

It looks like the Holocaust destroyed

Germany for good. It just took took a

few decades.

Um, twothirds of the German public want

fewer migrants and nearly half of them

think Europeans are being quote

replaced.

Can you believe that was ever a debate,

the the word replaced? Because as soon

as you use that word, it's just a

fighting word. Why do you need to say

replaced? You just we're all we're all

observing what it is. You know, more of

one type, less of what another type.

As soon as you use the word replace,

then suddenly you're racist. But we're

all looking at the same thing. Nobody's

arguing about what's happening. So

that's weird.

Wall Street Journal says that Venezuela

is what they call couproof,

meaning that uh even if the military

warranted to do a coup against Maduro,

their cartel 11 boss, uh it'd be hard to

do because he's already purged all the

anti-Maduro people. A lot of purging

going on. I guess the purging and the

torturing and the jailing of his enemies

was so aggressive that the military is

completely cowed. And on top of that,

I I didn't know about this so much, but

apparently Maduro uses Cuba's

intelligence people for his own, you

know, power purposes. So, he's got some

kind of a tight connection with Cuba's

uh intel people. And I guess they're

pretty good, the Cuban intel people. So

they're gonna keep him in business.

So not so coup proof, but I don't think

it's a coup that's going to take him out

of business. I think it'll be a a bomb.

Something tells me that Maduro is going

to be exploding pretty soon. I don't

know when.

Anyway, uh let's talk about that Gaza

ceasefire. How many of you thought that

Gaza and the IDF would declare a

ceasefire and then nobody would break

the ceasefire?

Is is there even one person in the world

who thought the ceasefire would hold?

No. No. But will it make a difference?

I think probably not because what

matters is how many military assets are

there in the first place. So if they've

drawn down the military assets 98% on

both sides, yeah, there'll be some

ceasefires broken by the 2% that they

that they have trouble mopping up. So

yes, ceasefires will be broken. Yes,

there are people on both sides who want

the peace to end. Probably won't. I feel

like we're off to a good enough start as

long as they keep the major military

assets out of there. there just won't be

that much to ceasefire over.

All right. Um,

apparently, uh, Zalinski asked for

tomahawk missiles and as you know, Trump

said, "Not so fast. We're not going to

give you those Tomahawk missiles right

away. We're going to go talk to Russia

first because then they've got something

to trade away." they can say we're

totally going to give these to Tomahawk

missiles to Ukraine

uh if you don't

talk peace pretty soon. Now, I did hear

from somebody who seemed to know more

than I do about tomahawk missiles that

they might not be all that cracked up to

be

and meaning that Russia has the ability

to shoot them down and also that you

would need some kind of ground launchers

that would have to be operated by

Americans.

So, if we put Tomahawks in Ukraine, it

would basically just be America going to

war with Russia because it would take I

guess it would take too long to train

the Ukrainian to push the button. How

does that work? You know, we we'll

program it for you. We'll target it for

you using our satellites and we'll

program it, but make sure you get a

Ukrainian over here to push that button.

Is that what it looks like? Is Russia

going to say, "Oh, that looks like

totally a war with Ukraine."

Or are they going to say, "Uh, that

looks like a lot like a war with the

United States." So, I think Trump is

playing it exactly correct by holding

out that risk. And I don't know, you

know, Russia probably thinks that we

could put the ground launchers there if

we wanted to. So, I would imagine he's

got something to trade away now.

And I would imagine that in the next few

days and weeks, you're going to see

massive more attacks on the energy

infrastructure of Russia and vice versa.

So, we'll see. We'll see if Trump can

get this done. My guess would be they'll

have one more conversation, Putin and

Trump, and maybe not much will come from

it, and then things will have to get

much worse again. Because I I don't

think we're at the place where it's

worse enough. Do you Ukraine seems

perfectly willing to stick in there and

keep fighting and I don't see Russia

cracking. So you would need at least one

of the sides to sort of be on the edge

of maybe this is a bad idea. But we

don't really see that. We see both sides

saying, "Oh, it's a good idea for now.

It's a good idea." So can Trump can

Trump change that reality? You know, I

told you with Gaza that what Trump did

is not negotiate.

Negotiating isn't what made that work.

What worked was he changed reality.

He just he just changed how he thought

about reality and then it all came

together.

He'll have to do the same thing with

Ukraine. I don't know how he would

change reality, but he's saying stuff

like he he is making him think past the

sail. So that that's his usual trick. So

his usual trick is he's telling them,

you know, you can just walk away.

Both sides, you know, you could just

walk away. Russia, you can just

literally turn around and walk away and

the war's over, you know, as long as

Ukraine does, too. So that's actually

pretty powerful because you got people,

you know, dying and it's costing money

and it's this gigantic problem. imagine

if somebody came to you and they've got

this gigantic, complicated, deadly life

and death problem and your solution is

you could just walk away.

That's it. You could just stop and then

it would all be over. You could almost

certainly keep the stuff that you've

already captured.

You're not going to capture anymore

anyway. You could just stop.

That is actually a super powerful

message because you're you're taking a

rational person, Putin, you know, even

if you hate him, he's a monster, blah

blah blah. He's a monster. He's the

devil. Okay, but he's rational.

So, he's not going to just keep beating

his head against the wall if there's

nothing on the other side of the wall.

So, you just say, "Here's your choices.

You can keep doing this forever and

we're in. We we'll keep it because

remember Trump has put the United States

in the perfect position. So you want us

to sell more weapons and test more

weapons and get smarter about how well

our weapons work in war.

All right,

take your time.

Nothing's changing on the battlefield

except, you know, people dying. And

apparently neither side cares too much

about that. So go ahead. But anytime you

want to, anytime in 10 minutes, you can

make the whole thing stop. All you have

to do is give the order. Just say stop.

If you say stop, I'll tell Ukraine to

stop and then we're stopped. It's over.

So

I don't know. Is that a negotiation

or is that changing reality? The reality

is you're not fighting for anything. Oh,

there it is. There it is. There it is.

Did you feel that when I said it?

The reality is

neither side is fighting for anything

anymore. Mostly Russia. They're not

fighting for anything because there's

nothing to win. They're not going to go

any further.

Telling them they're fighting for

nothing

makes you look irrational. I don't think

Putin wants to look irrational, does he?

I feel like that would be a strong

approach. You realize you're fighting

for nothing, right? That that if we go

another 6 months, what do you think

you're going to get?

What do you think you'll get if you

fight for another 6 months? Nothing.

More dead people, less energy security,

you know, worse worse relations with the

rest of the world. What do you think

you're going to get in six months? It's

only going to be worse.

So, I think I think Trump does have an

argument that that he can press.

Anyway, so

this of course is coming. The U

according to interesting engineering

also, US is developing missiles that

don't need GPS to find you.

They don't need GPS. So, in other words,

it will just look at the ground the way

a person would and say, "Huh, looks like

um oh, I'm about a mile away from that

place and then it will just sort of go

to where it needs to go. I guess it can

get within 16 ft of whatever they want

and they can make these little flying

robots

um that are only

that weigh less than five pounds each

missile. I'm I call it a flying robot,

but it's a missile. It would be a 5B

missile that can fly over 60 miles an

hour and can hit a target within 16 ft

without any GPS.

What is if you were if you were Russia

and you found out that we had, you know,

already on the lab board and were ready

to massproduce these uh missiles that

weigh 5 lbs, fly 60 mph, and can hit

something without being jammed,

wouldn't you kind of hurry up a little

bit on the peace deal? Cuz you don't

want that stuff coming down on you, do

you?

No, you don't.

All right. So, um, I did terrible

planning today because I ended a little

too soon. So, I'm going to try to do is

I'm going to text, uh, King Randall, see

if he wants to go early.

Uh, can you go early?

He has to show up on my studio setup

before I can invite him in.

Go early. He might be watching.

I hope he is.

All right. So, I'll keep an eye out for

him to be joining. He will be joining

right there if he joins.

Participants

right now. I'm the only participant. But

while we're waiting for that,

I know what you want.

I know what you want. You want some

more? You want some more? for uh

reframes,

don't you?

So, more reframes from my book will

change your life while we're waiting for

uh King Randle to slide in.

All right. Oh, here's one that has

really helped me a lot. Uh or the

regular frame is that when you take a

job, your job is whatever your boss

tells you is a job, right?

So you go to work, they say, "What's my

job description?" Here's your job

description. If you take the job

description as your job, you will not go

far.

Right? How many of you already knew

that? That if if you do the job that

you're given exactly as it's described,

exactly the job description, you will

not do well in life.

you're going to have to figure out what

what it should be, not what it is. So,

you want to make sure that what you're

doing is better for the company and

better for your boss than whatever they

told you to do. Now, that's not easy if

you're not smart.

Won't be easy to do. But instead of your

instead of your job is what your boss

tells you it is. Um, here's a reframe.

Your job is to get a better job.

How do you get a better job?

Usually by doing more than you were

asked to do. That that's what that's

what uh flags you for promotion. It's

like, oh, Scott did everything we asked

him to do, but he created this other

project on his own and that worked out.

You're first in line for the promotion.

So, never do what your job is. You

should do whatever it is that will get

you a better job. Now, that might

include um learning on your current job

how to go to a different company and get

a better job, but it's always about you.

It's not about the job. Make sure the

make sure it's about you.

All right, here's another one. Um these

are a lot of these are my favorites that

really changed my life completely. Um

have you ever just said to yourself,

you're bored with life? Do you ever just

wake up and you're like, "God, I am so

bored with life." Oh, it's just going to

be another day like yesterday. Go to

work, eat my stupid sandwich, come home,

commute.

So, if you're bored with life, here's my

reframe. The problem is not boredom. The

problem is that you're not embarrassing

yourself enough.

You're not embarrassing yourself enough.

You need to put yourself in some shaky,

iffy situations. Now, not dangerous.

Doesn't have to be dangerous. It doesn't

have to be, you know, life-threatening,

but

for example,

uh oh, King Randle's here. Let me just

finish my point, then I'll invite him

in. Um,

for example,

if you uh have never taken a class on

public speaking, most of you would be

horrified by it, right? Public speaking

is scary. If you're bored, do that. Do

something scary. It'll it'll totally

take you out of your boredom. Uh, if

you're bored, go ask somebody out that

you know will say no.

Hey, worth a shot. But it's not boring.

So if you're bored, increase your um

increase your risk of being embarrassed

and you'll find it just opens up your

whole life. Suddenly you can talk to

anybody. You can talk to a stranger. You

can ask somebody out. You could ask for

that job you think you'll be turned down

for. Just do something that will be

embarrassing. It'll solve your problem

immediately and you'll be happy

probably. All right, let's see if I can

get King in here.

This will be a test of my abilities

except

and now

uh in theory

in theory.

>> Hey, there you are. Can you hear me,

Kang?

>> Hey, how are you?

>> Let's hear you.

>> Can you hear me?

>> I can hear you.

>> Awesome.

>> Perfect. So nice to meet you in person.

I've we've uh we've messaged back and

forth and tried to get together a few

times, but uh I had some issues and I

apologize for those, but so glad you

could join. So let me let me give you

the big picture and then I'll let you

talk to the people. Okay.

>> Okay.

>> So big big picture is you started and

run a school for boys in Georgia.

>> Where in Georgia?

>> Albany, Georgia. We're about two and a

half hours south of Atlanta. How many

kids in the school?

>> We have 25 right now.

>> 25. Now, uh I've been watching your

social media for several years and I

always see all black kids, but I know

that you you invited a white kid in

recently. And how'd that go? Did he make

it?

>> Yeah, of course. So, the the thing is

here in Albany, we have a 77%

African-American population. So, usually

you're just going to see mostly uh black

children, but we've had um Hispanic

children. We've had white children

before. Um, but I also tell people I

can't make anyone sign up their their

children. Um, so you know, Eli, his mom

signed him up and you know, he was he

was welcome in with open arms. Uh, so

the biggest thing for us is you know,

just letting people know just about the

demographic uh, you know, in Albany. We

don't have a whole lot of white people

in Albany. So it's tough trying to uh,

you know, expand the races there. Right.

Well, one of the things I I love about

your operation is that you're everything

you do seems smart and not not some like

weird political thing. So, you're not

concentrated on race. It just sort of

works out that way, which is fine. So,

so here's what I've been most impressed

by. I I assume the school does all the

usual reading and writing stuff. And for

what ages?

>> Uh, right now we've taken our age groups

down to ages six through nine. We were

doing ages 11 to 17 in our first uh six

years of the program. Uh we changed the

age groups because uh we've realized

that many children are starting to lose

themselves a lot sooner uh than ages 11

to 17. We have kids, you know, who are

in third grade, second grade, smoking,

uh talking about sex or whatever, etc.

And so most of those kids um they are

just looking for somewhere where it's

cool to do the right thing because when

they're doing the right thing at school

or anywhere else they get picked on or

you know nobody wants to be your friend.

So we've created a space where you get

rewarded for doing the right thing. You

get rewarded for reading. You get

rewarded for learning your workshops.

You get rewarded for uh getting good

grades and things like that. So, um,

that's what we've created and now those

children are taking it in and those

children are more willing to, uh, stay

the right way versus trying to get a

child who's lost himself and then trying

to fix it. So,

>> so there's a whole bunch that I observe

you doing on your social media that is

so good. I want want to mention all of

it. But you have a uh impressive what I

call a talent stack. meaning that your

specific talents even being able to do

this so well uh you know you've got the

education you got the working with the

kids but you also have a whole bunch of

skills which you're teaching the kids

from how to change the oil to how to

replace a doorork knob to uh dinner

manners to all these things. So you

you've got this impressive

um set of skills that you have which I

think is a role model situation for

those kids. That's unbelievable. Like ju

just the fact that they can spend time

around you

>> and observe somebody building a skill

stack that all fits together.

>> Wow. Wow. By the way, the other thing

that I love most, I've seen you mention

this is that you come from a non

nonvictimization

mindset. Of course. Absolutely.

>> Say more.

>> I was taught Yeah. I was taught, you

know, growing up with my granddads and

uncles, we worked for everything. And a

lot of the stuff that people, you know,

kind of uh think of these days, uh, as

far as the the liberal ideas and things,

I was never taught that. I mean, we grew

all of our own food in the backyard. We

didn't grow up in the best neighborhood.

Um, but everybody in the neighborhood

loved each other. I mean, we grew,

everybody in the neighborhood grew food.

We traded food. We had chickens in our

yard. Um, we had dogs. Uh, we had

rabbits. I mean, we had a whole bunch of

animals, but we grew everything we

wanted to eat. If I got home from

school, and this is like 2012, 2013

time. Um, I got home from school and my

mom asked us what we wanted to eat. We

had to go outside and pick it. We even

grew the seasonings. Um, my my dad

taught me how to paint cars. Um, my

stepdad taught me how to build

everything. We built our sheds in the

backyards. We built our dogouses. We

welded. We built our own grills. So when

I was growing up, because our whole

neighborhood was learning from each

other, I thought that other kids just

knew this stuff because that's how I

grew up. And so as I became an adult and

realized like kids don't know how to fix

a car or know how to work on a house or

put in a window or paint something, um

it was tough. So that that was the idea.

I started the program out of my house. I

was 19 years old. I started the program

out of my house uh in my dining room and

we went from there. And so, uh, we grew

from just being in my dining room to,

you know, having the facilities we have

now to having staff, uh, to affecting,

uh, so many kids. And I'm so glad that

our donors, you know, have been, uh, so

helpful to us because we don't take any

government grants. As soon as you start

getting the government involved, we

can't teach about God and we can't teach

about these things. And we're

exclusively going to teach uh,

Christianity and we're going to make

sure our children uh, aren't victims. We

believe in God and we believe in Jesus

and that's what we want to make happen.

So, u that's what we've been doing and

um our donors have made sure that this

program has been able to flourish uh for

the last seven years and um I'm grateful

to everyone who supports our program.

>> Yeah. Uh the other thing I like about

you is that you're aggressively

non-political.

>> Yes.

>> You don't have to be aggressive.

Yeah.

>> You don't have to be super political.

you know, um some the other day, uh

somebody uh tweeted, well, they made a

comment on my Instagram and said they

donate 20 grand if I disassociate myself

from, you know, MAGA and Donald Trump.

And I'm just like, when have I ever

mentioned that? But it it just speaks

to, you know, just that side in general

because for me to just be teaching boys

responsibility and and how to work for

themselves and how to make, you know, uh

honest money um and take care of their

families and stuff and you just assume

that that's MAGA, uh that's insane. Um

I'm just like I I've never said anything

like that. Of course, uh I was invited

to the White House by uh President Trump

uh back in February for the Black

History Month event. And I was

explaining to them, you know, um about

that event. I'm like, he was inviting

people who are doing work uh in the

black community. And um either you

wanted him to recognize us or you

didn't. I got a lot of flack for going

to that event, but like I told them, I'm

like, if he wouldn't have recognized

black people for doing anything, he'd be

so terrible. And then we're stupid for

going. I I mean, it's it's insane. But,

you know, I don't listen to those

things. Our students were proud. I took

them to visit the White House um back in

I think it was this March or April, I

believe. I took them to visit the White

House and we had a great time uh there

with their parents and and it was a it

was a beautiful thing. So, you know,

here we are uh in 2025 trying to tell

them that we're not political and Donald

Trump has no affiliation with us, but

who cares? I mean, even if he did, he's

the president of the United States. um

why wouldn't we want to be recognized by

the the the biggest figure, you know, in

our country? A

>> and uh just just to be practical, you're

always in fundraising mode because

you're not you're not backed by the

government. So, can you tell the people

if uh I'm going to say some more good

things about you and they'll they'll be

all primed to to to donate. Some of them

will be, but uh how would they do that?

What what would be the mechanism?

>> You can go to our website at thex

forboy.org. org. That's t h e x f o rb o

ys.org. Everything that you hear me

explain in here, we have photos of all

of it on our website like uh teaching

them how to do fencing, plasma cutting,

firearms training, everything's on our

website that you want to see. Even from

the financials, uh you can go see all

that stuff on our website. And of

course, if you want to see us on social

media, our biggest thing I tell people

all the time, a lot of people wish um

that uh they could give and some people

can't. But I always tell them a retweet,

a comment, all those things are gifts.

Um because that helps push it to other

people who may can give. So I always

tell people any small thing uh helps our

program. We have people who give $3, $1,

but it matters. Um so I'm I'm grateful

uh to many people. And I did see a

comment about uh the religious uh

teaching. We definitely do that every

week. Our students pray every day. Um

and we make sure we do Bible study with

our students. Um it's it's it's a real

thing uh here in Albany. And of course,

I will add anybody who ever wants to

come and visit, as long as we can do a

background check on you, we open uh we

open it up for anybody to come visit,

especially our donors because it's

better when you can put your hands on it

and see what's going on. So, we're down

in Alb, Georgia. If you shoot me an

email, you can definitely come visit.

>> So, so let me tell let me tell you what

uh lights me up when I watch your social

media. Um my my uh upbringing involved

learning how to work on a farm, how to

do like 10 different jobs from mowing

lawns to fixing things to everything.

And the result of that is that I was

confident in any new situation.

So I would never say I can't figure this

out because I figured everything out.

You know, there was always some adult

there who told me how to figure it out.

But I was like, "Oh, I don't know how to

do that. I'll figure that out. And when

I watch you working with the kids,

whether it's changing a doorork knob or,

you know, doing some of those other car

related things, changing a tire, I say

to myself, what you're really teaching

them is that they can do anything. You

You're not really teaching them tires,

you're teaching them confidence. And

when I see when I see

>> when I see them learn confidence, but

then I also see them hanging around a

tremendous role model, which I think you

are,

they just have a superpower. Like when I

watch those kids, you you also have a

standard where you have them respond to

you as you're talking. Like you'll say,

"Absolutely.

>> Do you see what I've done with this uh

doorork knob?" And then the then the

kids go, "Yes, sir." Right.

>> Mhm. Absolutely. And they all do. They

all do. And when I watch when I watch

that, let's say habit of forming

respect, I think, my god, these these

kids are literally developing a

superpower

that if they walked into a job interview

with with that set of manners and they

could go to a dinner and they would they

know which forks to use, which you know,

I didn't know at that age. I didn't know

what fork to use.

>> So, I could have used almost all of that

training at that age.

Yep. And we uh we've taught um like

etiquette classes um for the students

and we got a lot of push back for the

etiquette classes. People told us that

we were trying to teach the kids how to

be white um just for simply teaching

them, you know, to eat with their mouth

closed and to not talk about certain

things at the table. It's insane.

>> Let me give you a reframe that will help

you if they say that you're teaching

them to be white. No, you're teaching

how to deal in a world in which there's

a lot of white people.

>> Absolutely. That's what what you teach

is strategy.

That when I watch it, I it looks like

you're teaching lessons, but it's all

strategy.

>> The strategy is if you if you can become

the kind of person who can pick up these

lessons, the kind of person who can deal

with white people, black people, all

kinds of people.

>> Success.

>> Absolutely.

>> Yeah.

>> Yep. And the confidence thing is is the

biggest piece. Uh especially when

teaching them how to work with their

hands. We have a lot of kids, you know,

who are not academically inclined or

athletically inclined. So, you got those

kids that are kind of in the middle. But

when we teach them how to work with

their hands and then their moms, they

finally able to say, "I'm proud of you

for something." And we give them

certificates and things like that. Now,

they're able to walk differently and and

feel like they can accomplish something.

Um, and that's very, very important to

give a child. He needs confidence in

something. And sometimes they may not be

a straight A student and they may not be

the best on the football field, but if I

can teach them to be the best at this

plumbing uh or or being a diesel

mechanic or whatever or even just

teaching them how to properly eat or

properly read, um all that builds

confidence. It's very important.

>> And then you're also building terribly

important I think is a network of kids

who are like-minded. Like you can't beat

that. Can't beat that.

>> Absolutely. It's like a fraternity. you

know, these kids, we've had kids

graduate, go to the military or

whatever, and we have them come back.

They always come back after they, you

know, come back home or whatever and

come spend time with the new students.

And it's funny because when they look at

how those kids act, and they're like,

"You were that kid at one point. I still

got old videos of you when you were

sitting around doing those things." And

so now they're able to um to discipline

and and to teach and and to show that

I'm a product of this. Um so it's very

important. I I absolutely love the the

the the network we're creating, like you

said.

>> All right. So, so there's a little uh

lesson being uh formed here. So, I saw a

maybe slightly racist comment in the in

the comments that suggested you should

teach the kids how to say the word ask.

>> That is No, that's that's not racist.

That's a that's an accent thing, man. Um

I'm from South Georgia and you know, I

don't hear my accent until I go like up

north or something like that. Um, but

down here, you know, we understand what

we're saying. And even the white people

here, they they do the same thing. Um,

we're just we're just southern. Um,

southern people have different accents.

It's just like up north, you say things

a little bit differently or whatever.

So, that's just an accent thing. I I

don't think we can get away from it.

>> So, here here's what I would add add to

that, which is that I would put that

under strategy. So again, it's not do I

talk like my people, do I talk like the

the place I came, or do I make sure that

somebody doesn't think poorly of me just

by using this word that they expect me

to use. So I I would shoot that as a

strategy, not not a, you know, not a way

of talking.

Definitely got to be able to turn the

accent on and off because how I talk to

you and how I talk to like my friends

would be completely different because I

know other people just can't understand

like our southern accent. It's real

deep. And my my uncles and stuff, they

were like cowboys. They're worse than

me. Like I mean their country accents

are so deep. Um you never understand

what they're saying. And and there is

nothing wrong with teaching a kid to not

be natural and not be themselves. They

you need to adapt to the situation if

you want to be

>> you have to.

>> I agree.

>> All right. So what what would you like

the uh the audience to know that I

haven't mentioned already?

>> Um I guess for us, you know, I always

tell people you could do this same thing

where you are. Um I started um what I'm

doing right here in a small town in

Albany, Georgia. a population of 69,000

people. Um, one of the uh definitely

more worst places as far as statistics

in the country. Um, but we were able to

build something successful here. Um, and

I always tell people, you don't have to

have a massive organization or a massive

following to start anything. All of this

stuff I started, you know, as a

19-year-old with no following. Nobody

knew who I was. And I just wanted it.

And nobody can want it for you. You have

to want to see your own community

better. You have to want to get up and,

you know, go clean up your own your own

trash in your neighborhood. and just all

of those things, you have to want to do

it. So, if you just start by making

somebody smile and start by looking at

those kids next door to you or just not

blaming everyone for our issues, I mean,

we point so many fingers. It's the

Democrat's fault. It's the Republicans's

fault. It's the politicians. It's this

person's fault. Versus just looking in

the mirror like, "Hey, I could be doing

a little bit more. I could be doing a

lot more in my neighborhood. I could be

spending some time uh at the schools and

helping the kids." So, before we, you

know, point fingers, let's figure out

what it is that we can do. And if you

feel like you're doing enough, do some

more.

>> Absolutely. the like the most important

words ever spoken. I could do more

>> just for every

>> do more. Always

>> do more.

>> Now I'm curious.

>> Have you ever heard of my book how to

how to failed almost everything and

still win big? Have you ever

>> I have not. No.

>> The one of the things that fascinates me

about you is how compatible your

thinking is with mine. Like we it's

almost like we're the same brain, two

people. And that that book uh teaches 14

years and up how to have a system in

life as opposed to a goal.

>> Goal might be play in the NBA, but you

know really a system

a system would be learn as many valuable

things as you can to be more value. So

stuff like that. So it's meant to fill

in all of those. Uh if you're 14, how do

you figure out how to be a successful

20-year-old? Um, so

>> got you.

>> If if you'd like a copy of that, I'll

I'll send you a copy if you want to

check it out.

>> Yeah, I'll I'll send you my PO box. Most

definitely.

>> Okay, we'll take we'll do that. Um, and

uh, anything else you want to tell them?

>> Um, no, I just appreciate uh you

bringing me on first of all. I'm glad to

be here. Uh, I know you've been dealing

with some things, but I'm glad to be

here and I've been praying for you. Um,

but definitely I appreciate all the

support uh that people give uh to our

program. Uh like I said, this program

runs exclusively because of people that

believe in us and uh us having to be

good stewards. It's definitely

expensive. We operate five days a week.

We pick the kids up from school. Uh we

feed them every day. We have staff

members. Um we have property, you know,

etc. So just everything that everybody

does to keep us afloat for for seven

years going on seven years now in

January. It's been a beautiful thing and

I'm glad. And and again, if you want to

support our program, you can follow me

on social media at newemerging king on

all platforms or you can go to our

website at thexfors.org.

That's t h e x f o r b o ys.org.

Perfect. You know, I I like uh boosting

you because I I have one of these uh one

of my secrets for life is that you

should be working on at least one thing

that could change the whole world.

>> I agree. even if it's very unlikely.

Now, you're the one doing the work, but

because I have a, you know, platform and

I can boost you

>> today. Today, I'm boosting you because

if if if you catch on, it changes the

world.

>> I I I think that's I think that's how

powerful what you're doing is. It would

change the world.

>> So,

>> yes, sir.

>> My my audience and I will try to be a

small part of that to give you a boost.

>> Definitely. Thank you. and and thank you

for taking the time. It's it's a real

pleasure to meet you in in person sort

of.

>> Yep. I'll get I'll make my way out

there. Most definitely. You just let me

know when you're free.

>> Okay. Okay. We'll do that. All right.

Thanks, King. Um I'm going to say

goodbye to everybody here and uh you've

been great. Appreciate it. And we'll

we'll talk later.

>> All right. Bye.

>> Bye.

All right, people. Uh, I'm going to talk

to the uh locals people privately

because I know you want to.

And uh, the rest of you I'll see

tomorrow, same time, same place. All

right.
