So Russia Ukraine and the United States response by now I'm sure that you've heard that something is going on something pretty significant to put it lightly and I Honestly, I don't know where to begin here Do I start with a history lesson? Do I supply you with the context of the geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe over the past five years? I don't know. This is tough This is really complicated and anyone who claims that they're an authority on this issue unless they have a PhD in political science and Russian history and Eastern European history. I Don't think that they are an authority on this issue and what's difficult is that we are working with a Situation where two competing imperial powers are purposefully spreading disinformation to muddy the water So you could read an article that sounds pretty impartial But yet it's written by someone with an interest who's representing a particular point of view So it's difficult to be someone who finds objective information when you don't really know how to decipher between the bullshit and the correct Objective impartial information. So not really knowing how to approach this the solution that I came up with is to Just do a generic listicle and I know that that's not the best solution here But if I just give you five things that I know for sure and give you an objectively good takeaway in my opinion I think that that is probably the best way to approach this although it's it's admittedly imperfect So the first thing that you absolutely must know about the situation is that you don't know shit and Neither do I Reading an article or two watching a YouTube video about this does not make you an expert on this subject I'll say it again reading an article or two and watching a YouTube video with some dickhead know it all does not make you an expert on this Subject it is not an adequate substitute for real knowledge here There are a lot of things at play and the reason why it's so difficult to obtain accurate information here As I stated is because of the disinformation campaigns on one hand the United States I don't trust them because This is a country that has been militaristic and aggressive Throughout my entire life. We have a military industrial complex that at this point is almost semi-autonomous and Is always going to err on the side of militarism. So whatever our government officials say I'm skeptical But on the other hand that doesn't mean that I trust Vladimir Putin when he says that he's not gonna invade Ukraine Do I believe him? Absolutely not. Would he even possibly do a false flag attack in Ukraine to kind of use that as the catalyst to justify an invasion into Ukraine? Oh, sure. I wouldn't put it past him.  But as you pursue Information be careful because you could inadvertently stumble upon misinformation Everything here needs to be rigorously, you know vetted. It's this is really really difficult. So just remember You don't know shit We can try to figure out what's going on and be as objective as possible but there are limits to that given what's at stake and how many competing narratives are out there now another issue is that the Mainstream media has not been trustworthy case in point should the US rattle Putin's cage Published in Politico and presented by Lockheed Martin not necessarily a source I trust given that conflict of interest and then on top of that you have Joe Scarborough and his right-wing colleagues Implying that the US is seen as weak globally therefore the implication is that maybe we shouldn't be so weak Maybe we should be a little bit more aggressive. He says the Russian see our a retreat from Afghanistan as a green light to invade Ukraine China sees American passivity toward Ukraine as a green light to invade Taiwan So do you understand the problem here? There are people who have an agenda Basically, everyone in mainstream media conservative liberals, they're going to be beating the war drums They do this in every single instance of there being a foreign policy issue be it China Venezuela Iran this is just what they do So you you have to be very careful in the information that you come across and verify it before you repeat it and be Very careful even repeating anything that you hear about this including from me because even if I'm trying to do my best again I can make a mistake that could lead to You being you know misled, which is not what I want to do So that brings us to point number two war with Russia is Unquestionably out of the question and anyone who suggests otherwise is Psychopathic now that might sound like hyperbole, but I need you to understand what's at stake here The United States and Russia are both nuclear powers So a war with them over Ukraine not only is this not in the interest of the American people and the Russian people and the Ukrainian people it's not in the interest of Humanity itself because nuclear war is something that could literally end life on this planet and in an op-ed for the Washington Post Bronco-Marcetic rights if US Russian hostilities led to the use of nukes It wouldn't end well Imagine if the web of alliances that led to crisscrossing declarations of war in 1914 had triggered hundreds Thousands of nuclear warheads being fired across continents instead the United States whose missile defense systems have a far from 100% success rate Would not escape unscathed and even if a ground war managed to avoid triggering a nuclear holocaust It would still precipitate an economic downturn considering Europe's dependence on Russian natural gas and the costs accrued from US wars against weaker Countries than Russia Ukraine on whose behalf warhawks would risk such disaster is a country 5,700 miles away from American shores and one that as a non-NATO member Washington has no obligation to defend its government and security forces are also infected with neo-nazis who have trained and directly inspired Homegrown far-right terrorists if you're reading this from one of the dozens of major metropolitan and military centers That would sit in the crosshairs of a Russian nuclear attack ask yourself is Ukraine's territorial integrity really worth the costs And the answer is no now it's easy to kind of get bogged down by all of this and just think you know from a strategic perspective Okay, if they do this we obviously have to respond this way if they do x we do y But understand what's happening here. We're not just talking about pieces on a chessboard.  So of course We absolutely under no circumstances can have a hot war with Russia Now pundits on mainstream media will imply that we're obligated to defend Ukraine in the event Russia does invade But that's not true.    Why is this even on anyone's brains as a possibility not to be fair? Diplomatic talks between the United States and Russia are ongoing But if this fails this does not justify war if Russia invades Ukraine that would be catastrophic and that still would not justify war Nothing would justify war between two nuclear powers. I shouldn't have to say this That's not to say that a Russian invasion into Ukraine wouldn't be catastrophic for the people of Ukraine Especially if Putin decides to annex regions of Ukraine that aren't ethnically Russian But as bad as that would be it would be orders of magnitude worse if this devolved into a nuclear war between the United States and Russia therefore we'd have to make a utilitarian calculation It's Ukraine or everyone else and I choose everyone else I choose everyone on the planet We're talking about life on earth here We're talking about the prospect of nuclear war wake the fuck up people Why are you even thinking this is an option whoever thinks this is an option is unironically psychopathic now?     Of course not and this fear however warranted it may be it kind of Dismisses the reality of the global situation currently Russia as big as they may be there's still not the global Hegemonic power. It's the United States. We are the ones who keep expanding We are the ones who keep invading other countries, which brings me to point three, which is we keep antagonizing Russia and escalating and we're doing this instead of trying to pursue diplomatic options Trying to hear Russia out trying to be reasonable in our response all that we know is aggression And that's the only thing that we keep doing rather than trying soft diplomacy for once where we offer to ease Sanctions if Russia decides to withdraw troops from Ukraine's border This is what we're doing instead as Sarasota explains how stems want to expedite a floor vote on a massive Ukraine defense bill That would dramatically increase US security assistance and lay groundwork for major sanctions on Russia Hey sending a much more aggressive posture without much room for debate So when you do things like this, you don't really leave room for diplomatic talks to flourish Additionally, Biden was at least considering sending troops to Ukraine to defend against the Russian invasion and his administration claims that it's imminent And as a result currently 8,500 troops were on standby Although I say were because he seemingly ruled this out when talking to the press earlier today So that's a genuinely positive development But things can change and they do tend to change and understand that Biden as reasonable as he's being right there at least He has a lot of voices in his ear always constantly pushing for antagonism. You're weak.  Be stronger be stronger. Remember Afghanistan and how weak you are be tough So, you know because he's saying this now doesn't mean that the situation won't change and as a result You know, he changes his mind as a consequence Which moves us to the fourth thing that I think you should know The world is not black and white. It's not just that Vladimir Putin is the villain And we're the good guys or that we're the villains and Vladimir Putin is the good guy Things are a lot more complicated than that in truth. We're all villains We're all evil and whenever one side does something it's usually in response to the others aggression So in an article for Jacobin Bronco Marsetic breaks this down In fact, Putin's highly publicized provocations against Washington are responses to far less publicized U.S. Actions and vice versa part of a tit for tat exchange between two adversarial powers The solar winds hack of April suspected to have been carried out by Russia was the last of these But before that Washington carried out a hack and dump operation against the Russian company working for intelligence services Of course before that was Russia's infamous 2016 election interference Also allegedly involving the hack and release of embarrassing documents, which itself was a response to Washington's Democracy promotion work in Russia, which Putin not unreasonably views with suspicion It's worth noting that in May U.S. officials were tricked into admitting on camera that they have a very very active program throughout Russia And we're targeting the country's legislative elections Meaning this political meddling the likes of which Americans would justifiably balk at if it was revealed Beijing or Moscow Was doing the same thing within U.S. Borders is still going on and it would be naive to assume that there isn't some Russian version of this going on within the United States Even if it's not on the same scale You can go back throughout history like this and Washington and Moscow would each point the finger claiming the other started it Who's right doesn't matter for now? The point is that Russia has not been some supreme evil testing the United States unprovoked But has instead been engaging in a pretty standard to and fro with the geopolitical rival Now this right here characterizes the back and forth between Russia and the United States over the course of the last few years But you have to go back a little bit further to really understand What's happening here so after the collapse of the Soviet Union at that point NATO was effectively meaningless Once the Soviet Union collapsed the need for NATO was over But for whatever reason After promising to not expand eastward between 1999 and 2020 There were 14 new countries that were added to NATO all of them Eastern European countries So when you have the prospect of Ukraine Joining NATO Russia justifiably sees that as a threat and Russia sees this as a threat because of the large border They share with Ukraine quote Putin has given the side-eye to this expansion for a while But the inclusion of Ukraine would be a step further Not only does the country share a far larger land border with Russia than any existing NATO member state But there has always been a powerful contingent within the country that sees Ukraine as Fundamentally part of Russia or at least as a younger sibling There is in other words a lot of national pride tied up in the matter for Russia as well as considerable security concerns Just imagine if Russia or China looked to add Mexico to a military alliance of Latin American states They headed placing troops and weapons just over the fence from Texas though the United States and NATO have always insisted The alliance isn't directed against Russia Moscow is Understandably not convinced after all the Clinton administration itself justified expanding NATO by warning of the need to be on guard for the possibility that Russia could return to the threatening behavior of the Soviet period and Putin's early suggestion to let Russia join NATO Albeit while jumping queue or create a European wide security pact was rebuffed No, I think this is an important mental exercise here imagine if that was the case if Russia was trying to Create some sort of alliance in Latin America to you know Stifle US aggression which has been a thing in Latin America for those of you who don't know and then they decided to expand to Mexico a country that borders the United States. What would our Psychopathic leaders do how would they respond? I don't think it would be a question They would bomb Russia it would be an outright hot war and for the more imagine if Vladimir Putin Backed a coup in Mexico the ouster of you know a government that was favorable to the US and favor of a government That was more sympathetic towards Russian interests. I mean in 2014. We did this in Ukraine We backed the ouster of someone who was more favorable to the Kremlin. So imagine if Russia did that so in order to try to understand the motivations of a Global rival you have to try to get into their head and see what's happening and as you can see You know there has been Repeated aggression and escalations from the United States that doesn't mean that Putin is the victim But you have to understand that the world is in black and white It's not just that everything that Putin does is a provocation oftentimes It's a response and what we do we can view that as a response to to Putin's aggressions But either way the world isn't a black and white thing And you know if people try to propagate this myth that the world is black and white And we only have binary choices to make and it's this way or that way They're wrong now Let's get to the final thing that you need to know about this particular issue At least as of right now based on an ABC News report published less than two hours ago from the time that I record this Ukraine does not believe a Russian invasion is imminent now Russia does have a hundred thousand troops near the Ukraine border and yes, that's alarming an invasion would be absolutely Devastating, but let's try to bring it down right Ukraine wouldn't say we don't believe an invasion is imminent If that weren't the case, I mean if they believed that an invasion from Russia was imminent They'd probably say that on top of that thinking about Russia They know that the economic sanctions that would be imposed at a minimum would cripple their economy Which is already in shambles So they have an interest to not invade aside from you know the history and him Maybe wanting to reignite the Soviet Union either way There are a lot of things that lead to him not wanting to make this decision doesn't mean that he's not going to make it But there's you know a lot of factors at play here that make it not necessarily a Certainty that an invasion will occur and I'm saying this because I want you to bring it down calm down It's very easy to become doom and gloom when you know we talk about these things that could result in Nuclear war a nuclear Holocaust, but understand that this rivalry between the United States and Russia is nothing new It might be new for our generation, but our parents and grandparents They grew up with this my mom for example She grew up in Hawaii and they had drills in school to get under the tables hide in the event of you know a nuclear war We don't have to deal with that today So let's let's calm down. This is nothing new. Let's not assume the worst. Let's not Unnecessarily catastrophize. Let's try to live our lives and chill I think that's really important because oftentimes these emotions Can lead us to making irrational decisions these emotions can lead us to you know finding a source an article You know somebody on YouTube who just tells us what makes sense when we can't really make sense of things We're when we're in this state of panic. So it's very important That we relax and notice how I'm even using a more calm tone To bring it all down after talking about this catastrophic issue, but it's important You know, it's concerning, but as individuals there's not much that we can do So it is absolutely not beneficial to us to freak out about this. It's worrying Absolutely, I grant you that I'm worried about this But let's chill and acknowledge that if this is okay if if they don't invade and situations kind of You know improves if tensions are eased then in a few months Who knows there could be the prospect of war with Iran. It's just this is always going to be a thing So we have to find ways to cope with these types of details and stories when they're so common You can't let this, you know pollute your brain.  So that's what I want to leave you with and just remember it once again You don't know shit and neither do I so everything that I've told you here that it You can check out the articles that I've listed in the description box that I've used to kind of guide my assessment But I understand that it's very very difficult to ascertain Objective and impartial details about the situation given the current state of media and the disinformation campaigns Being waged by the United States and Russia and their their allies and in media So it's it's hard to know just know that one objective takeaway that I think everyone can agree with who's reasonable Is that a war with Russia? Even the thought of war with Russia is totally out of the question it's something that we have to unequivocally rule out and That's because we are focused on the higher goal of preserving life on this planet Which to me is a little bit important. So yeah, that's what I've got for you. I have no idea if this was satisfactory I have no idea if this was helpful Perhaps you find it helpful But some of the details here aren't explained carefully either way just be careful here folks when we're looking at details as it relates to this issue


George Bruno with the 21 report. We're at the 21 convention the final event of the decade, and I'm talking with Hunter Drew welcome Thanks for having me. Yeah, you talked about the consequences of choice. Yes, I give us some of those highlights It's basically bringing up to all the men in the audience and all those we're gonna see the video that when you make a decision You own what follows that decision, you know And a lot of guys want to make a call and not deal with the aftermath of it They want somebody else to make the call for them not realizing by following somebody else's decisions You're gonna suffer the consequences out of the way Reminds me of something the old folks used to say, you know, if you make your bed you got to sleep in it Yeah, I think that needs to make resurgence. We need to have that coming back for everybody Yeah, it's getting a little saying in there especially with online everything we have going on people hiding behind names Yeah, they're saying and doing things online. They wouldn't do in person Right thinking that I don't have to suffer the court the consequences of that right But your mind knows what you're doing.  Sure Had to be addressed. Wow What is the Solution for this So to me, it's real-world accountability Men needs are meeting up with other men and you're gonna find yourself especially in groups like this It doesn't have to be the 21 convention.  I mean just literally Making someone be accountable and if you look on the other side of that, too If you do go to the gym and they're like, well, I'm not gonna go. Okay, I'll go without you And now when you're in better shape than them the consequences are they kept the weight on while you lost it Yeah, and now their friend is looking better than them at the gym. Are you at the beach or wherever they go? Yeah, that's a consequence. You decided to sleep in. Yeah, exactly. Why is that important for men? I think we're at a point now where the struggle that men are having is that there's no Mission or purpose at all because there's nobody there is saying Hey, you have to do a thing if you want to get the life you feel you deserve You know, they're like, well, if I don't make a decision, I don't have any consequences good or bad But that's just existing. That's not living and that's why we're having all these men with these crises They don't know who they are. There's no sense of identity. Nobody's holding them to the flame So we've got to start implementing that they've got to start meeting up They've got to start being held accountable and owning the consequences that come for the choices. They're making In all my years have never Heard women talk about being accountable calling each other being accountable That's a real male thing, isn't it? Never experienced that with my ex-wife anyone making her accountable for anything It's all your job. Yeah Thinking about it. I'm like, well my daughter in life. I think that's me. Yeah, right, right What do you think is the future of the minister? I'm gonna ask you you asked everyone There's a good question. I'm kind of glad I got to dodge it I'm gonna have to agree with what a lot of the speaker said and that is These smaller groups that are meeting up offline. There are people that you've probably known on Twitter.   I can you're not going to take my phone from me So I can still reach out. I can still maintain my network I can still spread the message through their means if necessary, you know, and that's that's the future You know, we keep we're not going to continue to be able to live this this an a non Twitter Zero accountability lifestyle where you can say whatever you want and not be helped like there. There are men out there Who if you said what you're saying online to them would punch you in the face? Sure and now we need to see that happening We need to see these tribes coming together because then you learn Oh, this is how I speak to a man And I'm not going to say this craziness because I'll get sucked in the mouth Yeah, you know what I think if we can start developing that you'll see a much healthier You know pro male positive masculine movement come from this because the men can't run their mouth online because they know They've got their tribe to go back to You know what you're talking about because you are part of an organization and you started this called the fraternity of excellence Tell us about that So that is that is my tribe. That is where I go What you see on Twitter is what I live you to see what inside fraternity of excellence is me sharing myself with men Who I know hold themselves accountable and to a standard and it's interesting. We have a lot of guys here and While there are ten of us meeting here, you know, these men meet up every single week Different parts of the country. They're coming together and while we have our behind closed doors online And I was explaining this on my in my speech and the red man group is I thought that was gonna be the pinnacle I thought men coming together kind of like the forums that we have, you know Private chat groups that we have. I was like, that's really cool. Let's do that But then a picture came out of a few guys going to dinner And then another picture of a few more guys going to dinner and all of a sudden people Overseas we got guys in Europe meeting up and having these little get-togethers And you know that a lot of men don't have friends They don't have men they can call like if I'm in trouble like hey George, you would answer the phone Too many don't have that. Yeah, and that's sad and that's what we're trying to build and if it's not the fraternity of excellence There's other groups and again, you can forge that in your church in your at your kids school Get the other parents on board like hey guys, we're gonna get together and do things with the kids Whatever it is. So FOM I'm a little biased, but it's a good one. Yeah What is scope? How far does it reach? Do you have European guys in it? We yeah, we've got guys England, Scotland, Australia I think Jordan We got guys everywhere Canada, Mexico all over US. Do you think you'll be going to Poland next summer? So that I missed it this year because of F. O. E. So we're trying to Make sure the dates don't complete. Yes, 100% it would be it'd be great to go there and kind of Start something in Poland You know get there. It's like you're reading my mind. That's what exactly we're planning on doing Nailed down a foe chapel right there and yeah, we're actually the ten guys We're staying the day after this event so we can all just come together and go do our thing You know go around the town. Yeah, but it's one of those where you get it where you can because we all have busy lives You know, so it's one of those things where you got to make it happen Talk about it. You're doing it. You're making it work, you know, you're you're walking the talk In 2017 we had to talk about what we're doing is like I'm trying to build a group of guys I'm trying to go get some camaraderie and brother. Yeah, you know after leaving the military. I didn't have that. Yeah, and then Here we are three four years later. You know, whoa. Yeah What is your observation about the 21 convention how it has evolved it definitely made a pivot. There's a change How do you feel about the change it you've got to cut off dead ends You've got to cut off anchors and find fuel What we did is we removed anchors that were holding men back and we brought new fuel in that are moving this board You saw the diversification in that red man group We we I unreal I was surrounded I honestly felt so I didn't want to speak because I wanted to listen to what everybody had to say Yeah, and we had Pat Stedman Stefan Malin you Those guys coming on we hadn't repeats, you know Ed we brought Phil Foster on there Yeah, you know these different names and these men are seeing these different perspectives and realizing like wow, there's not There's many different cups, you know, that's a cup But there are many and you know, you don't have to look like that Yeah, look like whatever you want to do as long as that's what you own and again the consequences come from the decisions you make Yeah, we come that cup. I said a couple days ago to fill. I said help. I see on stage soon After we had that talk Anthony pulled me aside and I was like, hey, I really you're gonna like this guy You've seen him on red man group patriarchs. Yeah, why I'm getting on the stage now It's one of my favorite episodes. I think he was on what made me he's been on what made me three shows I guess and I forget which one it was It wasn't I know I was on one with him But it was one of the ones that I wasn't on and it was Unbelievable I go back to that one and he was on fire There was one episode where he just was like wow. He just really Put a stake in the ground He was real and I think he showed you know something I've noticed from this 21 convention above all else is that the terms that are being used I've heard a lot about beauty A lot about creation a lot of art, you know, we talk about the pivot Reflective on everything we've done, you know, it's become a It we want it to be to be viewed as what it is and we got to stop hiding from the terms And when Phil went on there that there is a thing of beauty there. He showed heart He showed raw emotion that and it was real and it was not some fabricated, you know Rage like this was a real man sharing real thoughts. Yeah, and it was a beautiful thing Yeah, and I was noticing that the men speaking this year They're talking about that like real things that actually matter and human beings and not you know again the character like that's gone. Yeah Yeah, that's amazing So we have a 22 convention coming up pretty controversial a Convention for women taught by men What do you think about that? You know, I've asked a few guys that exact question. Yeah, and all of us are the same. We don't know Yeah, you know, I I think it's going to be great I think if the right angle there are couples that want to find that that spark to bring them back You know, maybe he's slipping with leadership. Maybe she's slipping with you know her duties to to the family You know, maybe something like this is that exact catalyst that we can reach those couples like look you can both go and This isn't a case where we've got AJ Cortez who's gonna like woo your wife like no no That's not what this is about. Yeah, this is a man coming to help your wife or your woman or a woman You know become at the best version for them to go get that family if they don't have it Better provide to their family. So my angle on this You know, I'll be at the patriarchs speaking to the men and then I'll be speaking at 22 where I'll be telling them Like how how did I get to this point with my wife? Like what did she do and how can that be replicated? Yeah, and it's not simply the actions It's the mindset. What is the mindset of my woman? You know, what am I passing to my daughter and if I give that to them to take it's just more tools in their toolbox Maybe things they didn't think of because they're not men Some big changes happened a lot of us started In 2017 a lot of us met in 2017 that is there that at the end of that year and Some things really started churning at that point Bonds and even some bonds broken that we've experienced in the past year some Gladly some regrettably and I know a lot of us Felt like we had to take sides. It was hard. I think it was hard for a lot of people. You know, it wasn't You know, I don't think it was easy for anyone Maybe for a couple people who was easy, but for a lot of people I think it was difficult as We are backing away and getting more of a aerial view of what happened How did men do Get get man a report card. We we did not do our best, you know, I would give us a D Yeah, I think we emotions ran high, you know, I found myself in a very Tough spot and I was open with you guys I started with a certain group that first came in that's where I started You know the whole red pill forum all those guys. Yeah, that's where I began everything Those were my original then I found 21 com and then there was just like that that smash Yeah, and I'm like, I know this guy I'm friends, but he's wrong and then 21 con is doing it right It's it's the solution and I can't I Can't put a personal, you know relationship ahead of what's right for our cause Yeah, and it's about the cause at the end of the day It's about helping men and I think in the the fallout I think we're people are just swinging and some faces got hit that were on the fence So be it that's part of the growing pains Yeah, but I also think we learned quite a bit about ourselves And I think that's the only reason that the message that was able to spin now is because the way Anthony conducted himself With staying to the cause, you know, and all of us are sitting flying around them You know, we all said our piece, you know, and it was conflicted Oh, I'll give us an A plus in that point Yeah, is that a lot of this was handled behind closed doors and in that point That's definitely an A because as men you not everything has to be on the public You know, it's good to go ahead and close the door throw some blows open the door Your friends again It's weird when you know someone is calling you brother One day in the two weeks later, they're calling you asshole and that was real hard for me to deal with You know, how's it going brother? Oh good brother, and then you know, literally two weeks later It's like even it was like three days, you know, and it was like we just high-fived and now you're trying to punch me like yeah, I So what is the prescription for the future? How do we handle conflict in the future as men and and kind of Apply that to all men Regarding all conflict in the future You the conflict is the idea not the man So if you have a problem with my idea, you don't come after me or target my family You target my idea and the same for you. I don't target you. What it is you're doing Where it is you're going I target that the issue I have a conflict with it when men all men in any conflict You're not fighting the guy as much as you're fighting the idea if you are fighting the guy That doesn't happen on Twitter that happens in the real world if that's the point you're at and you need to swing you meet up But to have these little internet battles like it's almost like we're losing what conflict is conflict is to lead to resolution Yeah, online. There's no consequences, which is what I hate. So you can't punch me I'm gonna say what I want for months and months and months That's if you guys had your fight on day three, you know, if we all went and just look boom settle our score that ends in Yeah, well, we just went full circle back to the consequences of choice Wow, yeah How was how was the way that we deal with conflict different than how women deal with conflict? Have you ever seen a cat fight online? They're vicious. Yeah, and they'll hold grudges too. Yeah men. We kind of know A lot of men know what violence feels like. Yeah, either be throwing or be receiving Yeah, so you kind of push it off until it has to happen. Sure, but when it happens, it's over Yeah, so for them, it's it's nasty and it's long or maybe it'll be prolonged But when it hits the apex, right, it's instant. It's done, right? I don't I don't believe in grudges Like I like you or I don't like you. There's no grudge about you. Just that's just how it is. Yeah, I Joke around and I say, you know, I used to I used to hold grudges You know for about four minutes now, and I'm doing good now because I'm the hold them for about three minutes now progress so There's progress. Absolutely Are grudges healthy? Do they give us a breather a timeout do they keep us out of the ring Until the smoke clears Grudges not so much. I think lessons 100 100% Like a holding on to a grudge.  They're dead.  You don't you don't matter. There's no space in my head for you to rent. Yeah I hear once it was like something about anger.   Yeah, because for myself the same thing There are times where I'm like Fuming yeah, and then I'm like going to see the family. Yeah, I'm like why am I shouldn't be mad at my dinner table because I saw a tweet Yeah, I shouldn't be mad, you know or Irritable or short with my kids.  It's time to block. Yeah, let's move on. It's weird. This didn't exist before social media did it. No It's weird. I think that's why uh, we are Moving offline with groups like this what you're talking about. It just keeps it real, doesn't it? It I don't think we even know what social media is doing to us. We've not had we've not had it long enough Yeah to to see the effects. Yeah, I mean You couldn't be anonymous, right, you know, maybe a pen name like back when you were in for the newspaper But yeah, couldn't be anonymous in the real world. Sure now There are men that other men are following that they've never seen Yeah, there are men that other men are following that you don't know anything about their life Right because they spend all their time just talking about issues and talking about problems and waking up Like you said, right waking up finding out what's wrong with the world, right and these other men follow them Yeah, how do you that's not a man. Yeah, that's just a character Who's just playing the chord because he knows it's going to keep you in a state of perpetual anger That's not a way to live That's why the 21 con you sit you see me Yeah, you you can see my mannerisms the way I act my my success my failures all those things And then the other men see that as well. You're a real man You know, you've shared plenty adding the how many videos you have but you've shared your thoughts on many topics And men see that and that's a real man.  It's just it blows my mind. I think there's a sense of duty and honor inside my head that it's just It's fundamentally wrong. Yeah, it's weird.  I'm like, okay. I get it and that was like that was weird Seeing a face of someone who has been commenting on my stuff for two years Like, oh, I expected it to look different.  So how do we end the decade here? We're laying it to rest I was speaking to anthony about this. We lay it down like champions. We've done some great work So I think we get a brief rest period. We're gonna wrap this one up You know when I go home, I'm hanging out until February was our next fraternity meet-up between now and then I'm I'm disengaging from a lot of online activity. Yeah, and just a lot more rating. Yeah more for me hanging out, you know 2020 is going to be great You know, it's going to be amazing and I know there's a lot going on in 2020 But it's going to be absolutely the I think the the launching pad of some amazing things coming down the pipeline Yeah, how's the morning show going? It's awesome. Thank you for asking Like I really enjoyed it when I first started I was talking to you about it Tell everybody about it. It's the morning brew with hunter drew so monday wednesday friday I go on the time has kind of been changing because of guests all over the place But usually it's 08 to 09 eastern standard time And it's my show and I talk about what I want to talk about and you're not going to hear anything about Intersexual dynamics because I don't want to talk about that. You're not going to hear Alphabet of whatever tells I don't want to talk about it. You're going to hear men come on talking about Manly Experiences and their perspectives and things they've gone through in life I had a man come on who's a father and he realized he was getting pulled into the twitter world So he quit twitter. What's that like? I I feel like I spent too much time in there, but I can't quit it Great discussion men like phil foster other men inside the fraternity, you know, they come on and they share real life things Not not this made up theories These are real things we're dealing with and I think that I'm really enjoying that content Yeah, yeah, it's a good show And I can't wait till you are compelled to do it five days a week I've considered it. It really is. It's a great show and The fact that it's not Intergender dynamics Is what makes it attractive to me It's real, you know, like that's not real people don't wake up constantly think about that 24 seven that is unhealthy Some do You're you're correct. Some do. They should yeah, and they should Yeah Well, I think I think uh, how long you've been doing it now A few months. Yeah And why morning as opposed to night or afternoon? Was there any reason why you chose morning? You know, I coach baseball. So my evenings are always swamped with that. Okay. So logistics will say morning.  I thought it was cool to start I watched like a lot of yours before I ever ran mine And it's I thought it was cool to start my day like that I'm cruising to work and I wouldn't watch I would just listen and you talk about whatever your topic was that day But I was like that's that's much better than listening to the radio, you know when I start my day I'm I'm focused at a great discussion with the man radio anymore No, I mean just I just picked my favorite content creator or content creators and I just start listening And while you're listening you kind of have a conversation with the person Yeah, so I've had thousands of conversations with you that you don't even know about Yeah, because I'm just in the car listening. Oh, yeah, that's and then all of a sudden your brain's working It's firing. Yeah, you know and people don't know how to converse anymore. Yeah, they have a hard time just sitting and doing this Yeah, what about you have shared a stage with people who've been called radicals and Supremacists and misogynists and all, you know, like just pick a word.  Thanks for letting me know, you know, whatever and then like the next email was I'm subscribing because you associate with Mike Cernovich like yeah, wow, I didn't know you guys knew each and I'm like This world is just way too weird It truly is like you can you can lose I remember I mean because when I originally started my channel was men's grooming And I had a big giant beard. I shaved the beard and lost 5,000 people in one day like Your audience they only like you for that. Yeah, it was the audience is fickle sometimes. It's just like really weird and My brother, Tony and I we we love saying this everyone's cool until they're not Yeah, you know that can happen fast real fast real fast And you never know what's going to attract somebody you never know what top you might think The topic that you're going to talk about on your show No one will relate to it. You'd be surprised you put out some Far-out topic and someone's going to email you and say Wow, man, you know, I was ready to cash it in and and tuned into you by accident and like Yeah That happens a lot. All right, so you're out in a shed. Yeah, you're one of the I'm shed life, man It's awesome. Absolutely. We got we got to do the hashtag or something. We can make it a thing I mean honestly, I I did it because I smoke a pipe and I don't smoke a pipe in the house because I don't want to like gag anyone and So I go out in the shed and smoke a pipe And then I just started putting the tripod up in the shed That's the shed and then you know and it just became like a thing and people don't realize I mean literally it's it's a It's one of them pre-built sheds that comes on a flat bed and they dump it off in your backyard and half of its garden tools and Gas cans and stuff the other half. It's a real shed. Yeah The other half is a two chairs some shelves and a light and an oil lamp and in a propane heater and uh, you know, I gave it a name I named it and People are hashtagging it somebody I don't know geotagged it It's like It's it's trippy and it has become a thing And as I have talked about moving because I'm thinking about moving And they're like, are you gonna have a van go room at your new place? I'm like, oh gee. I never really thought about that, you know Sheds Man cave. I don't like man cave. I'm not into that man cave thing. But what is it about a shed? As opposed to just setting it up in your basement or living room or something. What's the So it obviously depends on the needs for me I spent two years in the corner of my bedroom With my my laptop and the camera and the lights three-point lighting system Like I was always afraid that family would come by and think like we made porn Because my whole setup is in our bedroom. Yeah guys. That's now what I'm doing. Yeah, right So I was like I really like I would do podcasts And you'd hear the kids running by or my what we do late a red man group And those can relate so that could be like 11 a.m And my wife can't go to bed. Yeah, because I'm in there chatting away Right, so I needed my own space and even if I went to the basement You know, you can hear people moving around and my family shouldn't have to not live in their home and be comfortable in their home Because I'm sitting there making something but for two years they did and I like I'll always appreciate that But I was like I need my space babe. So what I did is same thing I went to Lowe's and it was our Home Depot. It was one of the exterior finished interior unfinished We bought that they dropped it off. I finished it. I ran power and did it come all pre-built like the exterior Yeah, so the walls were up and I windows but on the inside there was nothing Yeah, so I got to build that the way I wanted to which is cool. Nice, but I've got two dedicated breakers to it It's like a small house. Yeah, it's your bathroom Nice You'd never have to leave. Oh, exactly.   I'm like, I I'm happy. I have a silenced dedicated creator studio You're not in the house. I don't want to be in the house You know, like I understand man cave because it has the connotation that you You got put into one spot and that's all you're allowed to have by the way But if it's your decision to go like I want this not in my living room like we were saying earlier I want in the basement.  It's your house. You know, you're doing your thing That's cool. It's your choice. I got a shed. Most man caves are like have a bar, you know, like a little mini fridge Home theater seats that kind of stuff and they're entertainment places It seems like our Sheds are productivity places Yeah, I don't really relax in there. I do. I guess the relaxation I find from work Yeah, you know, I enjoy editing podcasts. It's like a weird thing in audacity. I'm just like cleaning up the audio Yeah, but I I truly That is where I'm I go in there to work. Yeah, I'm writing or I'm not in there Have you inspired anyone else to get a shed? I yeah, we might be able to make it a thing. Yeah. It's like hashtag shed life There really is something to it. I mean when you think about it, I mean if you had to Create a studio I mean it could cost a lot of money, you know and just getting a shed At Lowe's or Home Depot. It was cheap, you know, I mean, they're great people don't realize that You can do a lot in a shed I know I know you can podcast them right for sure Have you given it a name? I when you said that I decided to name it. So I just named it Shelby. It's Shelby the shed. Cool It's after my first dog. Cool. Now. Is it your space? Yeah, nobody goes in there. All right So kids like field hockey equipment is not in there and negative, you know The wife doesn't put like, you know, the summer lawn furniture in there, you know in the fall So we have we actually have a backup shed There's a bunch of sheds in my property. That's great. That's great So we've got a shed that has all the tools and all that stuff. Right. We've got the creator shed. Yeah I'm thinking I'll get another one just like have a bunch of sheds connected to each other Yeah, they do like those containers. Yeah, I feel like a whole shed compound. Oh my gosh Some of the ladies where I work Watch my show they kind of get what I'm doing And one woman said I want a shed That's where it's at. Yeah. Hashtag shed life.

Thank you for having me What was your experience so far with the 21 convention? Oh, I was dead. I was dead Professional all across the board really good energy with a lot of people and uh, I just like because it's a very positive positive direction This uh, George, this is this has been a first-class event. It's fantastic. You guys run a really tight ship I've been to a lot of conventions over the course of my business career And I can tell when things are well run and when things aren't and this is a very well run operation I was very impressed. It's pretty incredible to see where anthony's brought it Especially from last year, which was my first year here and to see the upgrades he's made. It's been incredible I've got my notebook and with every speaker. I've written down about two or three lines Under each of the speakers of just just the key prime stuff that I got. That's good. That's good. It's very surreal I'm really enjoying it. I'm happy to live in such an era Where such a thing like this is possible I have never seen a group of guys like this a group of 200 men were focused Squared away and working on their values just never met a bigger group of wonderful guys It's kind of neat because I've been to a fair amount of conventions in my day But you never see one where the guys like here you can just see ed latimore talking to tanner about boxing Yeah, you just sit down and then you tell your boxing experiences. Everybody's kind of pinging off each other. It's nice It has been fantastic And it's been four days of guys all on the same page working in the same direction fascinating meaning some of the people Hearing their stories. Yep. You got people traveling from other parts of the world to come here just to see Yeah, some of the speakers. That's amazing. The thing is impressed me. Everybody here is very serious Yeah, they're taking it, you know, close to their heart What a great convention. Thanks, george


Hey traders, this is Tosh I go by T Bradley 90 in the mind vesting club chat a general reminder for you guys for those Who don't know MIC is having a one-year anniversary event.

Hope you guys are having a nice weekend Couple stocks move this week. I'm gonna cover Dare bioscience this week. It had some news out. I think it was Tuesday or Wednesday Next week. I'm definitely gonna be doing a workhorse Wanted to get it this week, but it's gonna be a pretty long one It's gonna take some time to kind of put together a little presentation if you will So for now, we'll do dare in the next week's will probably be one of the longer ones definitely one of the more interesting moves you know from a Just a whole perspective of kind of having an agenda for a company if you will so dare if we Look at this they had some news come out On the eighth So they basically announced a publication in a journal other dare FRT one and they published it in drug delivery and translational research So it didn't seem like too important of news the volume was pretty weak and pre-market But what was interesting too was if you look exactly a month before they also published us there HRT one It was just in a different journal the pharmaceutical scientists So you could pretty much say it's rehash news, you know publishing The same thing in a different journal, although it is in different journals the same thing essentially That when you're going through looking at the float so in this case if you come down here On the eighth the float of this was nine point one million But since they it doesn't include this amount of shares, right? You got to add this four point five So I you always will add that unless there's an insider that participated in the offering, right? Or some of the owns more than 10% because they have restrictions against that just flipping for a profit If you're an insider or director or CEO so on and so forth This one so if you come down here the highlight the board the chairman of the board bought 454,000 shares so Obviously, you're going to use this number as four point one instead of four point five, right? Because he's going to be restricted. He can't just flip it the next couple days if it pops So with that being said Your folks can be closer to thirteen point one million thirteen point two ish Going to the lock-up Just so we can kind of look through this real quick You can even see here So it's actually so when you think a lock-up with IPOs a lot of them are 180 days or six months before insiders can sell This one you can see here. It's just a period of 60 days So I mean even for I don't know what this guy brings home in a salary But buying you know almost half a million dollars worth of shares And a dollar stock is fairly significant Hey traders, this is Tosh I go by T Bradley 90 in the my investing club chat Just wanted to reach out and say if you have any questions about M.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, this is Drew with GeoAlarm Security here to show you how to program the GeoCT wireless door window contact into the GeoAlarm system. This is a very, very easy process to do. It actually kind of walks you through right on our GeoAlarm panel here exactly how to enroll this device. So what we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and hit the little menu button over here. In the top left-hand corner, we're going to enter the master passcode, which factory is one, two, three, four. At that point, we're going to go ahead and go into devices. And then you're going to see a plus sign up in the top right-hand corner. You go ahead and hit that. It'll tell you what you need to do. So we're going to go ahead and select door because we're going to be enrolling a door window contact. You could also a chose window but I'm going to do door here and it walks you through a little video here exactly what you need to do in order to get this device enrolled. Now typically this thing will have a little plastic tag in it that you can kind of pop and then from there you'll be able to enroll it. I've already popped the one that I have so we're going to have to do it the way that they're describing here by removing the magnet from next to the sensor. So we'll go ahead and we'll do that. It's that simple to get it enrolled there. Now this is where you're going to name your device.  I'll go with something different than we normally go with so we'll go with let's say basement entry, right? And as you can see she's walking you through a video right now and she wants you to go ahead and install the sensor now at the location that it needs to be installed. I'm not obviously not going to do that I'm just going to hit done here and it adds it for you. Alright so it's really that simple to get a device enrolled and then once it's enrolled it'll show up here on the screen. So we have door one here which is basement door. We're going to go ahead and click on that. Here you can edit all of the features of the actual device. You can do a custom name for it. You can rename where it's actually located. You can change the delay on the sensor. This is inherently an entry exit delay. That can be changed to an instant if you choose. If you want the sensor to immediately go off without a delay on it. That's good for things like windows or doors that you know aren't coming in and out of when the system is armed. So we're going to keep it on entry exit delay and 30 seconds is pretty much typical and it can obviously be edited to different you know forms of or lengths of time here. It can also be set as a 24 hour alarm which means that that device is going to be monitored 24 hours of the day regardless of the armed or disarmed state of the system. So that's how you change the actual performance of the device. You can turn on or off the voice for the spoken words from the sensor being triggered to chime. You can turn that off. It gives you the signal strength which it says is excellent obviously because it's right next to it. It'll give you an about and then obviously you can delete the sensor from here which I'll go ahead and do now. Yes I want to delete it and then it goes back to nothing. All I have left is my doorbell which I'll go ahead and delete as well. But yeah this is a pretty standard and pretty easy on the brand new Geo Alarm on programming this Geo CT wireless door window contact and if you guys have any questions or you need anything at all concerning the enrollment of the Geo CT or the Geo Alarm or any of the other sensors that are going to be you know following this video please just let us know. Once again ladies and gentlemen this is the Geo Alarm and enrolling the Geo CT wireless door window contact. Take care. Don't forget to visit www.geoarm.com that's www.geoarm.com for new parts low cost month to month monitoring, product manuals and support, alarm certificates and update forms and many others.

From the US we move to Lebanon where businessman Najib Mikati secured enough votes in parliamentary consultations to be designated his country's next prime minister. Mikati has been prime minister twice before and unlike Lebanese leaders, he does not represent a political bloc or hill from a dynasty. He received 72 votes out of a total of 118 members of parliament. He now faces the difficult challenge of forming a viable government to tackle the financial crisis. He must also navigate Lebanon's sectarian power sharing structure.


Shopping for new ideas, for maintenance, engineering, communication, equipment, administration, training, safety. If you are, then welcome to the Idea Store. A store whose stock and trade is imagination. This is edition 9 of the Idea Store. And unlike other editions, we have only one shopping stop to make. Safety. We talk about an item that is all too common. Backing accidents. Incidents where equipment is damaged, where the maintenance budget is reduced, and the injury rate increased. All of this is a result of an all too preventable situation. Maybe backing accidents can't be eliminated, but they might be reduced by providing one last reminder to the operator before the accident can occur. Almost everyone in transportation at any level, local, state, or federal, has a few of these around the office. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation used miniature models of pieces of equipment like the front end loader, the dump truck, the grater, the backhoe, the school bus, the motor coach, the low buoy. And then, with the aid of a professional photographer, created silhouettes in black on a white background. Took copies of these to experience equipment operators so that they could indicate the blind spots. The blind spots were not meant to be clinically accurate. But to be a reminder, equipment manufacturers are constantly striving to produce equipment with better operating visibility for the operator. But even the best of the new units have blind spots. Not to mention the thousands of makes and models currently in use. The operator review committee considered all of this, made their recommendations, and then indicated the blind spots for the various pieces. These are blind spots present when the operator is properly positioned and the mirrors are properly adjusted. Even when the operator puts forth the extra effort. The worksheets were returned from the operators and the silhouettes were made into computer images. Reviewed again by the equipment operators and then enhanced at a CAD workstation. Commercially produced with the blind spots in red and made into a key chain. When the operator picks up the key for the equipment, the tag serves as a visual reminder of the size and the location of the blind spots for the equipment to be operated. And there is one more tip. Truly, what you can't see can hurt. Obviously, an idea store needs ideas. Here's how to get your idea on the program. Tell us who you are. Better yet, send us a picture. Give us a good description of what your idea is. Show us the where if the locale of the idea is important. Why was the idea done? For reasons of safety, cost benefits, etc. How do you do it? Show us step by step. Provide plans, pictures, whatever you think we might need to understand what it is you want us to understand. Send your idea to your Technology Transfer Center for evaluation. Thanks for shopping at the Idea Store. Until next time, remember an idea never shared is an idea never appreciated.
