How Did Our Country Become So Evil? How Do We Fix it? — David Whited Interview · Man in America Podcast

• 0:27
  Seth Holehouse: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Man in America. I'm your host, Seth Holehouse. So today, I get to sit down with one of my favorite people that's similar doing something like what I'm doing. It's, David Whited. So he and his wife, Stacey, they have a show called Flyover Conservatives, and they started around the same time as me.
• 0:46
  And they've been just a huge influence, but they've been really just fantastic voices. And so, it's just David sitting down with me today, and we're just gonna have a just a sober conversation about where's our country at right now. It's it's insane. Right? And I'm sure you feel the same thing.
• 1:03
  There's craziness all around. But how can we get to a place where we feel like we have control, where we feel like we can create a future that we want, where we feel like there is something in the future that we can look forward to. And I think that's a very important thing because as much as it's good to dig into the the plans of the cabal and understand all the intricacies of the New World Order and just the various family bloodlines and all that, I think that that can be overwhelming sometimes. And sometimes I think it's good for us just to take that hundred thousand foot view of where mankind is at and look at how we can get through this and thrive on your side. So folks, I think it's gonna be a very special conversation that will leave you hopefully feeling good.
• 1:49
  That that's my intention with this one is that you walk away feeling, you know what, things aren't quite as bad as I thought they were. So folks, enjoy this interview with David Whited from FlyOver Conservatives. David, man, it is such a pleasure and it feels like an understatement to say is that just it's just so wonderful to have you here on the show with me today.
• 2:11
  David Whited: It it's an honor to be here. You know, we we have a lot of great conversations at at events, and we've we've flown you into Kansas City. And when we first opened up our, we built a second studio with the kind of a full multi camera setup. And, and the whole time that construction project was going on, we're like, we're gonna have the best conversations. We'd always say like with, well, like, like Seth whole house, where you can just, you know, have these live interviews because it's, you know, I love that we could be at a distance, but when you're with somebody in person, there's a unique dynamic there.
• 2:41
  And so that, that, that conversations we had with you virtually is partly what inspired us to build a in person studio because it just we've met the most incredible people. The world's kinda gone in some crazy spins, but it's amazing the people that have really risen up. You know, there there's an expression that tough times, you know, don't build character. They reveal it. And when you see people respond to the world around them and really shine and step forward and lean into and actually get better, you know, it's it's a you know, we've gotten the opportunity to to meet some of the best people in the whole world because of all this.
• 3:19
  So that's kind of the lemonade on the backside of the lemons for sure.
• 3:24
  Seth Holehouse: It is. And I'll give this a quick introduction to this conversation. I want you to also introduce, you know, you a little more your backstory with you and Stacy and your children and everything. But for the folks that aren't familiar with David, well, should be. So he and his wife Stacy run a show called Flyover Conservatives.
• 3:40
  And I think that you two, with the help of your family, your beautiful and wonderful son and daughter, started around the same time as me and I and we met through the reawaken with Clay Clark and we've we've really been behind closed doors and not in front of the camera. We've had so many conversations about how to grow, you know, tips on things. There's just been so much back and forth. It's been incredible. And we're constantly inspiring each other.
• 4:05
  And you are, I think you and Stacy are similar, think, a lot of ways to Kate and I that you're, you know, lot of ways jack of all trades, and you've done a lot of different things and worked in different industries from music to marketing to mission work. And then you take that and you add in the fact that now you host a wildly successful and fastly growing show. And you get to interview a lot of absolutely incredible people, whether it's David Ike, or many of the other guests that you have on your show. And so I love these conversations with folks that are also interviewing lots of people because while you may not be say the Ed Dow that's coming with here's the research on the jab, right? You've interviewed such a variety of people and you're smart that you can form this worldview that I think is oftentimes a more important perspective than the silo of some sort of portion of person that is an expert on one or two things.
• 5:03
  David Whited: It has been an incredible ride. We've had, you know, I think roughly 2,000 conversations in the last little over two years in starting this process, and they're all kind of based on this fundamental principle of, we're really curious. We began the show based on, seeing people that had fruit in an area. You know, specifically, we're watching, you know, the beginning of of all of 2020, then when 'twenty one came, we'd had the opportunity to meet quite a few doctors specifically that had thousands of patients and had zero deaths during COVID. Some of the patients were in their 90s.
• 5:38
  I'm like, this is fascinating, their approach to it, but yet they'd share their information and they get banned from every platform for common sense things you would have thought up until five minutes ago was common sense, like beef up your immune system, take vitamin D, vitamin C, get some sunshine, and some of the approaches they were taking. For me, that was a triggering mechanism that we were in a different world than we'd ever been historically. Because I'd look at the TV and there'd be every mainstream news channel was just a death ticker, but yet there's people having tremendous success. I'm like, why don't you guys interview those guys? You know?
• 6:11
  And, because they've seen patients today and they're having tremendous success for me that made common sense because we kind of came from a more entrepreneurial background where you got a problem. You call the top five people that have solved it and you put them together and then you move forward, you know, on it. And, what I was seeing during that space was the top people that were having the most success were banned, ostracized, threatened, beaten up, you know, and, kind of went with a different narrative. Regardless, I'm not here to I'm not an expert on all that space, but whatever the problem is, there's something wrong with my car. You know, I would talk to the best people in the world on the car, you know, that actually working on cars today, the current model, you know, that we're driving, that are dealing with these things.
• 6:54
  If you had to do some, you know, redneck from Missouri, you know, on there, you're like myself, it's like, Hey, eat more peanut butter and barbecue. You're going to be fine. You know, maybe delete that guy. But, when you have people that spent their whole life on that area of science, that kind of engaged us in this space of podcasting and so forth. I'd never met a single person that ever even been a guest on a podcast at that point ever in our life.
• 7:17
  And so it wasn't a space. Our son, Colton, who you referenced, you know, he had a young child. He had another one on on the way at the time. And and, you know, we were grandparents, and we're like, okay. What is going on in the world?
• 7:29
  Who has answers? Because we're dealing with bigger problems in a unique way than what we'd ever seen before. And so that kind of got us into this space, his nudging. We'd spent a life in business. My wife and I, we've known each other since the seventh grade.
• 7:43
  Her dad was my coach in school. We're growing up in a small town in Kansas. I grew up on a farm. You know, it's amazing. A lot of principles that came from that world ended up applying to our business world.
• 7:54
  The idea of you work the soil, you plant, you're doing things. There's not a paycheck at the end of the day. You're building something for the future. Then there's a harvest that delayed gratification, the results of, you you can't just plant your seed whenever you feel like it. You gotta, you know, be wise and work with what is, which is nature and God, you know, in that process.
• 8:13
  And also when it comes to nutrition and food in life, I would, even as even grade school, I'd buy a horse at a livestock auction that was broken down and you'd nicknamed him glue stick or something. And I'd bring him into our farm and I would get him minerals and put him on some alfalfa. And like within a month or so, he would just change. His coat would look better. His eyes would shine.
• 8:39
  He'd fill out. Was like a whole different it's like, you know, like flipping houses a little bit, but I was doing that in fourth, fifth, sixth grade, and I'd buy a horse for 300 or $400 and I would turn on selling for like $2,000 because he looked prime. And so it made that connection in my mind even as a child. I'm like, what you eat makes a difference. You know?
• 8:58
  And that wasn't necessarily the view of our family. They were more biscuits and gravy kind of a crowd, but we treated our animals much differently. And for me, that was even a signal as a child. I'm like, it's interesting that we pay more attention to what we feed the animals than what we eat ourselves. And so I didn't register that.
• 9:15
  I didn't keep a journal or anything, but these are thoughts I was having even as a kid. And so all those things kind of began applying to business and life. We started our first company when we were 23 years old, and some of the same principles done with podcasting, you don't know how to do something, find the people who have had tremendous success at that, take notes, be humble, take everything you can from them, and apply it as quickly as possible. Condense timeframes. You're going make your own mistakes, but you don't need to make their mistakes also.
• 9:46
  So you can eliminate those things. We just kind of applied that quickly. By the end of our twenties, you know, in spite of not knowing a whole lot about much of anything, we were able to kind of be in a position where we really didn't have to work anymore. I didn't have a Learjet or anything, but we kind of always lived below our means, spent our money very wisely, always kind of played for the future. Again, farming, you don't eat all your corn, you gotta save the seed for the next planting.
• 10:13
  And so all of those kind of farming life principles kind of began to apply towards us in business and life. And, you know, the idea of you're gonna work hard and, you may not get paid today, but eventually leave enough people and leave enough places better than you found them, there's gonna be a harvest in the future. And that kinda began our began our process, which then led to starting a record label because it was a dream of my wife's, and and we did that. We our kids were in high school, and we lived in a very affluent area outside of Nashville, Tennessee and Williamson County, 1 of wealthiest counties in America. And, I don't know, kind of felt like that wasn't the most normal version of the world necessarily.
• 10:50
  You can tell your kids they're blessed, but it's better if you show them. And, I think one of the best things that you could do for yourself is to serve somebody that can't do something for you. And so when our kids were in high school and they had friends that were getting, a new Hummer, for their birthday, we moved to Mexico and lived in an orphanage, and they were tutoring and working and serving. And we kind of thought we were going there to to fix Mexico and to help these kids and, you know, boomeranged back and helped us probably much more than it did them. And and, we so, you know, we've been chased by the drug cartel, held up by machine guns, and and, you know, escaped that.
• 11:23
  We've, you know, just kind of done a lot of of sort of different lives along the way and, accidentally prepared ourselves for doing a podcast and having conversations with some of the most interesting people in the world from a Dennis D'Souza to a General Flynn to a Seth Holehouse to Ed Dowd. You know? And and, every one of them is a little different, and you gotta be humble enough to always be the dumbest one in the room and, you know, and to have a good conversation with somebody that's spent their whole life on a on a thing. So it's been an an incredible ride and kind of a broken road that sort of led us to that, but just kind of make it a habit of trying to say, you know, yes to the next right thing as often as possible.
• 12:01
  Seth Holehouse: And it's really an incredible story. And, you know, you know, I'm in a similar place that, like, I didn't intend to do this. I was never dreaming as a young child about becoming a YouTube phenomenon. It's like, it's actually the last thing I would have wanted to do was like politics for, you know, who knows how many people to watch. But, you know, here, here we are.
• 12:21
  And so as we've gotten to where our country is right now, right, we look around and I mean, I feel like I barely recognize this country. I see a lot of these initiatives coming out of the White House, the this LGBTQ plus stuff, what's what's in the books and schools for kids, what's happening around the world, the fact that we've got, you know, the Maui victims getting next to nothing and, you know, hundreds of millions and billions of dollars going over to these foreign countries for, you know, who knows what. And it really does feel like our country is falling apart in a way that I've never experienced before in the, you know, a little under four decades I've been in this country and alive. And so from your perspective, right, because I know that you've you're you're you're so that you piece a lot of things together, but then you also have your conspiracy conversation show, which I think is also adding this whole other element to forming the the view of what's happening in the world. If you had to simplify to someone, someone came to you and say, David, I'm so confused.
• 13:28
  Why is it like our country is a mess? Why does it feel like our government wants to hurt us? Why does it seem like everything's turned evil? How would you explain where America is at right now to that person?
• 13:41
  David Whited: Oh, I'd say if you're in a if it was in a sentence, I would say a best example, maybe go to the zoo. And they try to duplicate that animal's natural habitat as best they can for them to thrive. But lions aren't designed to be in a cage pacing back and forth and somebody throws them stakes. They can live in that environment, and it looks like their environment, and they can paint trees on the brick wall and they can do things, but that is not where the lion's designed to live, a polar bear or penguins or these things. That's not their habitat.
• 14:19
  You can take a fish, maybe even out of the ocean and put them in a tank at home, but it's pretty precarious to make it the saltwater content of where they were designed to be. And so my point with that analogy is I don't think that you and I, as humans, are designed to be living in this environment. Everything's as far from our original habitat as you could possibly be. And so, Angus Socrates said when men who are made to fish, when they don't fish, they fight. And I don't know that any of us are really living in this in the way so that idea is like a tree trunk and then kind of branch into all of these topics.
• 14:59
  But, you know, what you know, obesity, you know, for example. It's like you can say there's a lot of things in the food and and, chemicals and all these things that are affecting it and and so forth.
• 15:13
  Seth Holehouse: Hey, folks. I've got a quick message for you. So I'm sure you've heard a lot of people, myself included, talking about the importance of buying precious metals, gold and silver. But what's really behind that? Is it just a thing of, hey, buy this gold, buy this silver.
• 15:27
  Right? Or is there something deeper that we should be looking at? So I recently came across some figures about house prices. So in 1930, the average family home was approximately $4,000. Fast forward to 2020 the average family home is just over $400,000.
• 15:44
  So you have to ask yourself, why is that? Is it because things have just gotten more expensive? No, it's actually because the dollar has lost 99% of its value since 1930, right? When people talk about the collapse of the dollar or inflation, this is what it means. Now, let's take a look at gold.
• 16:00
  So in 1930, if you wanted to purchase your home in gold, it would take approximately 200 gold coins. So 200 gold coins would purchase the average family home in 1930, about $4,000. Now, if you instead of buying a home with that gold or cash, you set those aside. If you set aside $4,000 in cash in 1930, it would be worth $4,000 today. What can you buy with $4,000?
• 16:26
  Can you buy a family home? No, you can't even buy a crappy used car. But if you set aside $4,000 worth of gold coins in 1930, which is 200 gold coins, 1 ounce coins, that would be worth approximately $400,000 today. And this is the key lesson about precious metals. It's not about getting rich.
• 16:48
  It's about putting your money into an asset that protects you against inflation and against the destruction of the currency, which is what happens to all fiat currencies, especially now we're in the end days of the dollar. And so that's why it's important, maybe not all of your money, but a portion of your money, a portion of what you have, I highly recommend putting it into precious metals of gold and silver because what it's doing is it's protecting you. This is an asset that has stood the test of time, not just stood the test of time since the 1930s, we're talking about the rise and fall of civilizations. Gold was used to buy houses back in ancient Rome. It's still around.
• 17:27
  It's an asset that will forever have its value. So folks, if you want to do this and you need someone you can trust, there's no person I can recommend more than Doctor. Kirk Elliott. He's a very good friend of mine. He's a strong Christian patriot, and he's out to really help people to protect their savings and what you've worked for against the destruction of the dollar, not to mention also protecting it against the dangers of central bank digital currencies.

• 18:19
  David Whited: Throughout history, you know, if we came across some honeycombs and we ate them until we passed out, you know, that would be a good thing, but they're not gonna be available next week or these berries or something, you know? So the idea that you can kinda just sit on your butt and Uber Eats something and it comes to you, or you could just go to the store and there's chicken already plucked and cleaned and you just got to The ability to obtain calories with a minimal output of effort is not how I was designed to work. And so we have to artificially, kind of like an animal in the zoo, we have to artificially try and go back any point in history and explain a treadmill. You know? I mean, go back two thousand years ago or a thousand years ago or five hundred years ago and explain, yeah, we don't have to move a lot.
• 19:04
  And so we invented these machines to help us move because we pretty much sit on our butts most of the time, you know, under artificial lighting, you know, in indoor. I mean, try to explain that to anybody. Like, why do you have to have a machine to walk? Just any of these little things that you use as an example, this is not our natural habitat. And so it creates a lot of problems in that.
• 19:29
  I think it probably all began by the time we could store calories. Grain and these things, people had to move less because you could store it up. It shifted our economies the way civilizations would congregate and develop. But on a global scale, we're struggling with this new idea that we have individuals with greater net worths than nations. And in the past you'd had a pharaoh, had a superpower, Egypt, and he'd kind of do what he wanted to do.
• 20:07
  Today, most of us live a life that kings throughout all of history would have dreamed of. I mean, I can go anywhere in my house and go to the thermostat and change a degree. You know? And then my wife will come along, it's too cold, change it a degree. And so you can actually you know, it's a common thing to talk to couples that they'll argue about the temperature on the thermostat, whether it's 69 or 71.
• 20:35
  That was not a marriage conflict throughout history. They had real problems. Lazy people have never thrived until recently. You know? And so if you didn't cut wood, you're gonna be freezing.
• 20:52
  You know, we live in Missouri, and everybody likes deer hunting, and Colton and I kind of has a bonding experience. Plus we got a lot of friends that deer hunt. We're like, alright. You know, we we kinda like to prep a little. You know?
• 21:00
  No no real self respecting prepper would ever really have any respect for me, but you know, we do our best. We follow your tips. We have guests on and, you know, we've got some water storage and some food, we've walked you through, you know, all this stuff. We're trying to make the best decisions we can, but like, oh, something did happen. At least need to know how to, hunt for deer.
• 21:16
  But throughout history, there was a word, an ancient Indian word called vegetarian, which meant poor hunter. And so people that weren't good at things just didn't make it. You know, if I was dependent upon my deer hunting skills right now, man, I would be just shredded. You know? But one of our biggest concerns as a civilization is you go through the checkout line, I don't care when somebody watches this in the future, it's probably going to be the same.
• 21:44
  There's tips on it, how you can lose 10 pounds by summer or whatever. That's not been a problem, that we had more than enough food and you didn't have to move very much. Only Kings worried about that up until the past. Because in order to not move much and to have more than enough calories means you probably had servants. You probably had somebody carry you around.
• 22:07
  These are all brand new problems that no one's ever wrestled with these issues of, How do I lose 10 pounds before bikini season? That's never been a thing. Up until five minutes ago, you found somebody that was overweight, it's like, Wow, how'd you do that? I want to hang out with you. What are you doing?
• 22:29
  How did you get to do that? That's my dream. Like my dog, that's my dog's dream. They eat everything I can give them. And, like, they they would love to they they wouldn't feel bad about being overweight.
• 22:39
  They'd be like, oh, this is awesome. You know? And so there's a million aspects of that when you got social media and everything else. But just the ability to have a thermostat to build every single person watching this right now has access to books, knowledge, and information. You know, for free, most people listen to this.
• 22:56
  You could get a library card and go to the library. You probably have the ability to read for the most part, if not every book is available on audio. So the wisdom of all the ages is available. Just, Up until five minutes ago, people wondered things and nobody wonders anything anymore. You have five people at dinner and they're arguing about, who was the main guy in Legend of the Falls movie?
• 23:17
  Was that Richard Gere? No, it's Brad Pitt. And it's like, oh, it wasn't Brad Pitt. And you used to have to argue about it, then you would wonder. You'd walk away like, gonna I'm gonna I got the movie at home.
• 23:25
  I'm go home and look at it and see who was in Legend of the Falls. Nobody wonders anymore. You don't even have that the rabbit trails that would come from that discussion because you're just like, oh, no. Brad Pitt came out in 1993, da da da da. And you know because you have access to all the knowledge and information you want at your fingertips without the struggle of wondering.
• 23:43
  And so it's just readily available. So every single person watching this has access to books, knowledge, and information well inspired by Abraham Lincoln, you know, walking miles to exchange a book and, you know, the value of that. And he'd read it, and it was like access to ideas his neighbor didn't have, and it created an ability to increase his value in marketplace because of his ability to consume information. Everybody has that now. Everybody watching this show has probably traveled to a different state than they're sitting listening to this right now.
• 24:13
  Well, both of those things were only kings and royalty. You had to have been like, you know, a bishop or a people didn't just travel unless you had a lot of resources. And if you had a lot of resources, it means you had to have security to protect your resources because somebody would have taken them. You know, this idea of like the wise men, you know, the Bible, like you go to church and at Christmas, they have like, you know, three old dudes in the church. They're wearing like bathrobes and they represent like the three wise men, you know, and stuff.
• 24:40
  Even as a kid, would look at that and think, that's lame. Because the idea of you're going to travel all the way across a continent, you would have needed so many supplies and food. You'd have cattle. You would have had to have all your food. There no off ramp for fast food.
• 24:55
  So you would have needed all of these resources because you're hand delivering gold. Okay? So it means you had excess resources. It means you would have needed people to protect that that would have gotten hungry every day, your little mini army. So it would have been a small economy moving across a continent order to make that happen.
• 25:14
  It's not three old dudes in your church with bathrobes. It would have been a small city moving, you know, that would have affected you know, a hundred miles ahead of them would have known they were coming and been preparing, you know, what can we sell them? What can we and so so the idea of travel, everybody watching this has been in a different state than they're listening to this podcast in. And so, like, only Kings would have done that or or major landowners. You would have had to been born into into wealth, you know, in order to have ever have had that.
• 25:42
  You couldn't be like today where, Hey, I'm at this job and I'm doing pretty good, but if I have a good attitude and I show up five minutes early and I kind of whistle while I'm doing it, I'll get promoted. You know, I'll be the manager of something, you know? And like this idea that anybody watching this can dramatically change their income potential and be able to have the third thing, which I would say is the three unique things in our time, is free time. This idea of me time. I'm just so burned out, man.
• 26:11
  It was crazy this weekend. This next week, need some me time. Everything's too noisy, too loud. I just need some me time. Nobody had me time ever.
• 26:21
  No one's ever had me time unless you were a king or some kind of royalty until the last five minutes. And so to answer your question, we all have the ability to live like only kings up until now. Pharaoh didn't have a flushing toilet. Pharaoh didn't have a thermostat. Pharaoh didn't have, I mean, if Pharaoh I have a, I have a, F two fifty turbo diesel truck.
• 26:46
  If Pharaoh would have seen that, he would have like traded everything. Like, like what it would have been unbelievable. What, you know, what the power had harnessed, you know, forget the conspiracy conversations. If he had alien technology and building the pyramids, whatever, like probably not a good example because there's so many different versions of people watching this are like, well, actually he had, he levitation devices. I get it.
• 27:08
  Let's just stick with my analogy for a minute. I'll just don't go there. But the thing is the average dude living in Des Moines, Iowa today that works in a warehouse has probably a small fishing boat. He can afford some beer. He has satellite TV.
• 27:22
  He can watch sporting events all over the world. For for a day's wage of his own wage or maybe two days wages, he could afford to travel to anywhere else, you know, in the country by plane and be back, you know, for work on Monday. He'd go to Vegas and gamble and come back and be at work on Monday if he wanted. We're living in an environment that's so far from how we were designed to live, that isn't even as big of a problem as if people realized it. Now, if there was a common knowledge and it was taught in schools, we are so blessed.
• 27:57
  We have so much to be thankful for. We have access to books, knowledge, and information. I mean, anybody that's complaining, I'm like, what are you complaining about? You have access to all the information of the ages at your fingertips. You have free time.
• 28:11
  You have the ability to travel to other countries. And as an average person, not a king, the average guy working at a warehouse could fly to Mexico and go to Cancun for the weekend and come back and maybe even cheaper if he's willing to listen to a timeshare pitch when he gets there. So if we all embraced how ludicrously fortunate we are to be in this versus consuming massive amount of content that's geared to just bitch and moan and complain and commiserate with what's wrong. Like, just that one thing alone would shift the atmosphere of what we're doing. But we're the most privileged, overfed, undermoved society ever and the least happy at the same time because we're the least thankful.
• 29:05
  And so I think fundamentally that's the problem is people are kind of irritated in a way because they're not even able to embrace the good fortune of the moment we're in that everybody watching this, they're probably watching it on a phone or while they're driving their car, they all live like only Kings could have lived up until now. They not only don't appreciate it, most of them complain every single day about the environment they're in. And I think that is the grind that people struggle putting their finger on of what's wrong with the world. And not to make this too big of a rant here, but even the idea of this difference between the world and my world. Like I'm told every day that's going on wrong with the world, but the level of personal responsibility that I take for my world is a big differentiating point between how my life is going and how my world is going versus how the world is going.
• 30:11
  And there's a big difference between the world and my world. So, I think those two things really create a dysfunction at a certain level. The same way if you were at the if there was some, you know, multimillionaire who had a child and every time the kid screamed, they just gave him money and gave him ice cream, gave him whatever he wanted. You'd be like, that kid's a miserable mess. I wanna go spank him for those people.
• 30:32
  I I I think I think the whole world is that kid right now.
• 30:36
  Seth Holehouse: Hey, folks. I have a quick message for you. Thank you so much for watching and listening to this interview. I have one small request. If you're enjoying what you're listening to, could you please share this interview with one person?
• 30:49
  Just one person. Because of censorship and shadow banning, it's so hard to get this content out to more people, and the only way we can really do it is when you help by sharing it. So if you like what you're listening to, hit pause, share it with one person. It helps so much. Thank you so much.
• 31:06
  It's funny because I, you know, I thought maybe you'd go to like 40,000 foot view of okay, we've got the globalist and we've got this and and and there's the the infiltration of the government. Think you went to the like the million foot view of like, here's where humanity is at. And it's such an important point. It's such an important point because I think that, you know, for those people that look around and say, gosh, America is this estranged child to me, like, where did it come from? What happened?
• 31:33
  Why is it so it's so easy to look at the world and point our fingers democrats and this and my mother-in-law and this and it's so easy just to blame all that on all these factors. But I think I couldn't agree more. It's funny because when I was I think I was in high school or early in college, I read the Unibauer's Manifesto. Right? Ted Kaczynski, I think.
• 32:03
  And it was really eye opening to me. I'm not sure if you ever read it, but it was one of the most brilliantly written documents I had come across. And you know, part of what he describes in that is that now that man no longer has to be a hunter gatherer to survive and no longer has that purpose of providing, we've filled ourselves with all these other fake purposes, with all these other fake ways of feeling fulfilled and feeling like you're taking care of things versus, you know, I've done some, you know, some camping or Sam is doing construction projects, I'm building something, I'm cutting wood, I'm constructing something. There's this part of me that feels more human. Like, wow, I'm working with this, but this raw material to create for my family and, oh, I built a chicken coop, now we've got eggs every day or whatever it is, and we've just become so disconnected from that, which I think is part of the design, right?
• 32:57
  Because the more disconnected we are to that, the heritage of what it is to be human, the more transhuman we become, right? The more we start slotting into that transhumanist agenda, that atheist that, you know, the computer, the AI is God and we are your masters instead of us realizing like, wait, God created me just as I am. I've got a brain, I've got a beating heart, I've got, I've got hands, and it reminds me of, you know, I did some Tony Robbins stuff before, right? And there's this one part where, know, one of his, an event I was at, and he has you focus on your heart, and you're feeling your heart beating, and you're feeling the gratitude for having a heart beating in your chest, keeping you alive. And it's this really grounding, just almost spiritual moment of, wow, I've got so much to be thankful for.
• 33:50
  Not everyone has even a healthy beating heart. And so, from that perspective, okay, this is why we're suffering, which I think you outlined it so well. It's like we're, we've been taken away from our origins of I think how God wanted us to live. And while we have all these comforts, we've not been taught how to appreciate them. We actually are taught the opposite.
• 34:12
  We're taught that we live this racist country, that our history is a lie, and that, you know, that women are oppressed and we're taught all these lies. So how do we get back to that? Right? Because I think that if more Americans had your energy, whenever I've met you, you're just you're, you're not sluggish, you're not depressed, you're just, you're excited, you're pushing forward, you're creating, you're positive towards the future, you've got a beautiful family. That came out of your creation, right, your own will and obviously it was, you know, God's blessings.
• 34:49
  But how do we either as individuals or as a as a collective here in America, especially, how do we get out of that? How do we pour ourselves out of this rut?
• 35:02
  David Whited: Man, you know, everything I've listed already so far, those are all things I struggle with, most of the I've been trying to, you know, I'm always trying to lose 10 pounds. Know, it's like, hey, gotta do a little better, then you find it again, and you'll lose. And you have to be intentional today because most of the things that we try to accomplish today would have happened naturally or accidentally in the past. Everybody ate organic. This has no GMO in it throughout history.
• 35:38
  It takes a higher degree of intentionality. I'm blessed. My wife and I, we've married thirty years. We have grandkids now. We've never had a prescription, Neither of our kids.
• 35:50
  We're real slow to go to something else for a solution. So my point with this is it's kind of personal responsibility. And I struggle with these things as much as anybody else. But, a lot of the things you described a moment ago, there's like coffee mugs, you know, today that'll say like, I don't feel like adulting today. You know?
• 36:16
  If somebody has one of those in your hand, like, I'm sorry, but you should just take that and just hit yourself in the head with it. You know? Because it's almost like a curse on your life of the level of personal responsibility that you're taking for the outcomes. And while a lot of things people complain about, and I'm not saying all that stuff to say earlier, it's not that there's not problems, you know, in the world, but your right to mention them should only be on the back end of you exhausting everything you can personally do to either not participate or to solve them. You know, like everybody the news is generated to show me something, one, that's far away, and number two, that makes me really angry because that's just a great human emotion to work with.
• 37:02
  So the news is designed to enrage you so they can engage you. And so they're gonna show me you know, I live in Kansas City. So they're gonna show me something going on in Washington DC That is that that, oh man, that just I, Nancy Pelosi, I got, you know, whatever. They show you a thing and you're like, how could she, you know, and, and the government's doing this. The government, their government spends too much money.
• 37:23
  The government is going, well, maybe I'm spending too much money. You know? Like, am I looking for every corner that I can cut? You know, everybody thinks that things are tough, but, you know, I'll have conversations with my wife's grandmother who just turned 101 this last summer. And you talk to somebody who went through the depression and they reuse their aluminum foil and they wash out Ziplocs and reuse like, are, you know, are are are you doing everything that they did to make it, you know, to to to live below your means, to spend less than than necessary?
• 37:57
  Is there any corners you can cut? Do you could you quit smoking or get rid of soda? Could you you know, is there any corners you could cut, you know, so that you could be out of debt? Because I know you hate the government. We just increased it by a trillion dollars, like, in the last ninety days, which is hard to fathom because throughout all of our country's history until our lifetime, like Reagan, you know, it took till Reagan to get to a trillion.
• 38:18
  And then now we've done it again, like in the last ninety days. So it's hard to fathom, it's easy to get upset about that. Like, I can't believe how much debt they're getting us in. But are you in debt? Or I can't believe all this fast food and bad stuff and this kind of stuff.
• 38:32
  It's like, well, what are you eating? You know? Because those are things I can control. You know, like I can't control something far away, but I can control something really close. The closer it is to me, the more control I have over it.
• 38:45
  And so there's a lot of joy that comes from the solution of personal responsibility. And yes, there's problems, but have I exhausted everything I can do in every facet of my life to thrive? And what I've kind of found is kind of analogous to marriage a little bit. You know, we married thirty years. The first five were pretty rough.
• 39:10
  Stacy and I are both, you know, she'd be a great guest on another episode. She'd a whole another take on the world than me. We're both we're pretty powerful communicators. We both love to get the last word in. We're both usually right.
• 39:21
  You know? Just ask us. So, that was a terrible combination. You know? We had loved each other like crazy, not a whole lot of skills, you know, to to to make everything work.
• 39:31
  And and somewhere in that process, I began shifting my focus onto less of of ironing out her wrinkles and and and what she could do better and and and pointing out, you know, where she was falling short or where she was driving me nuts or what she did that irritated me. And if I started shifting it over, and it's a work in progress, you know, I'm not perfect, not close. You've been around us. We kind of trade paint a little bit still, but we work through it quick and there's no broken dishes in the process, which is a win. But in the beginning, I started to shift over like, okay, what can I do to be a better husband?
• 40:03
  Like, I exhaust that, if I become such a great husband, that gets so ridiculous. I used to use this expression. Can we teach marriage classes in church and stuff like that? And I'd say, you know, when I shifted over towards, I'm gonna become such a great husband that if she ever left me, that dude would bring her back and be like, dude, I can't keep it up. This is the bar is so high.
• 40:24
  I cannot possibly treat her as great as you did. It's exhausting. I can't do another day. Please take her back. Like, I wanted to do that, to treat her so good if she ever left me, the guy would bring her back.
• 40:37
  So fortunately, she's never left me, which is a win, knock on wood. But as I began to know, like it, it meant a lot for her, like acts of service, you know, and it was that wasn't a big thing for me. I'd be irritated. We'd eating dinner and she'd get up and start doing the dishes and, you know, but, but for her, like getting those things done was a big deal. And so as I began to do things that were important to her, as I began to serve, serve her and like she's gone, when she came home, the dishes were done and things that were important to her, you know, I began to get more quality time, you know, from her.
• 41:07
  She was, you know, kind of meet, meet that need, you know, for me. The better of a husband I became, the better of a wife she became. And I don't know which happened first because I think what happened is I began to focus on the things I could do better. Her flaws got smaller and my attention and effort went to my own flaws. You know, I began to interrupt less.
• 41:29
  I became a better listener. I became a lot more kind in my responses. I became more patient. I became more intentional with what we were doing and that I was ready to go when she was ready to go. There's more, I'm like, man, I'll exhaust all these things I can do as a husband first.
• 41:46
  And when I get that down so good that I'm perfect, literally, like you could make a documentary, that's the perfect husband. Like that's the manual. Like when I get there, then I'll put more focus back on what she can do to fill in the gap. You know? And it just, it never got there because I'm still working on mine.
• 42:02
  But the more focus I put on me being a better husband, the better our marriage got. And this isn't a marriage podcast, but I think if I'm putting more effort into David Whited doing the best he can to stay out of debt, be in shape, take care of the potholes in front of my own house, my lawn, my neighbors, my family, my town, my county, Missouri, take care of my state. America, I don't have control over all of that, but I do have a lot of control over these things. And the more I focus on them, the more I kind of exhale. I think we're headed in the right direction.
• 42:52
  All of that just kind of comes back to one phrase, which is personal responsibility. If I take personal responsibility I saw a guy say one time about marriage. He said he was a pastor, he goes, the worst marriage counselor ever. People come like once and then never come back again, which I think was probably his intent. But he'd a couple there, and they'd be fighting, he'd draw a circle on the piece of paper, And he would and he would ask the husband, like, I I know I know she's got all these problems.
• 43:14
  She's driving you nuts. But out of a % of the problem I mean, clearly, over half of it's her fault. But but what what percentage is your responsibility? And the husband would be like, oh, none really. If she could never shut her mouth, maybe wouldn't have so many problems, you know, or whatever.
• 43:31
  Be like, no. You you to take this pen, draw a circle. Of the pie chart, what's your fault? Is it 25%? Is it 10?
• 43:43
  Is it is it 1%? It's only she's 99% of the problem, and you're only 1% of the problem. Okay. We'll do that. Like, whatever it was, like, do that problem.
• 43:50
  Now here's what I want you to do. You focus on that 1%, and you fix that 1%. You fix that 5%. You fix that 10%. And she probably thinks the ratios are the same as his.
• 44:02
  And so when you put all that attention on that piece and kind of exhaust that, the outside things kind of tend to start working their own way, but it kind of comes back to personal responsibility, which is kind of a taboo topic. You know? If somebody can't fit an airline seat, it's the airline's fault or the person beside him is problem. You know, I mean, everything is kind of somebody else's problem, somebody else's fault. And the conversation really, people have a lot more joy when they realize, you know what?
• 44:34
  Everything is my fault and I can work on that. And, you know, and now is everything really my fault? No. But I'm a lot happier person when I let everybody else off the hook. I let my kids off the hook.
• 44:45
  I let my wife off the hook. I let my neighbors off the hook. I let the person that everybody drives slower than I do. Everything in the checkout line is not as competent as me. Those are all facts probably, but the more I let them off the hook and I'm like, what can I do?
• 44:59
  You know, I'm so much happier, in that process because I'm focused on the things I control. What can I do? I can. Okay, I'm in this line. I have a responsibility to leave every person in place better than I found it, so I'm going to be nice.
• 45:13
  You know? I'm going to be kind. What can I do to help? You need this. Like, those are things I can do in every situation.
• 45:19
  But it, again, it kinda comes back to personal responsibility.
• 45:22
  Seth Holehouse: Alright, folks. I've got a quick message for you. I have one simple question. If today you could no longer go purchase more food for your family with the food stores that you have in your home, how long would you be able to feed your family? Would it be a week, three weeks, a month, two months, a year?
• 45:42
  This is a really important question folks that we have to be very realistic about because the elites are proactively trying to put us into a state of food crisis and a state of famine. I'm sure you've seen all of the different food processing plants and farms that are blowing up. You've got cattle dying by the tens of thousands. They're proactively trying to collapse our food system because they know if they can control our food, they can control us. And so one of the best ways to be outside of their control is to be able to have our own stores of food and to be able to produce our own food.
• 46:15
  So there's really two things I would recommend. One is having heirloom seeds that you can grow your own food with, making sure that they're non GMO heirloom seeds that that way you can harvest your seeds this year, use them next year. You can use these seeds for generations. Literally, it's how it will work. The other thing though is this high quality storable food.
• 46:34
  This is food that's sitting somewhere, it's hidden in your basement, buried in your backyard, whatever it is. So that way, if there is a crisis, if there is an emergency, you might have three months set aside to get through that time period. And so for this, I would highly recommend a company called Heaven's Harvest. This is an amazing Christian owned patriot company and what they're doing is they're making high quality storable food. Again, lot of the food companies, they say these food buckets, they're all about maximizing calories per dollar.
• 47:05
  They're filling the buckets with a bunch of filler and junk like sweet beverages, etc. But Heaven's Harvest, they focus on very high quality food that will last up to twenty five years on the shelf. They also sell heirloom seeds. You can buy all of your seed, you can buy all of your restorable food. And look folks, personally, I would recommend having at least three months per person in your household, if not six months or even a year.
• 47:29
  Again, depends on your budget, but definitely make sure you have some seeds because that seed those seeds could be worth their weight in gold, if not more in the future. So to go ahead and do this right now, go put up a new tab and go to heavensharvest.com. And if you use the promo code Seth, that's s e t h, promo code Seth, you'll save 15% off of your entire order. So again, the time is running out and you'd rather be three months or one year early than one day late. Again, heavensharvest.com and use promo code Seth to save 15% today.
• 48:05
  Which is it's just interesting how you made a point before you turn the news on and all they're doing is they're showing you things far away that make you angry. And I think that they're also by them being far away, there are things that you can't change. We can't change what happens in DC. We can't change what happens in Israel. We can't change what happens in Africa.
• 48:25
  I mean, now, of course, the commercials come on with a starving kid and it's like, you can make it, you can help you, just give us $10 a day and who knows or $10 a week or, and you know, who knows that money goes to anyway with those those organizations. But I think fundamentally, though, it's going back to what you mentioned earlier about just where our society is at, that we have everything right in front of us, yet we don't take responsibility for hardly anything that's immediately surrounding us. And I think that that's really, it's in many ways, it's how our country got to where it is right now. It's I think a lot of us, myself absolutely included, we stopped tending to our gardens. And, and now that Garden Of America is just full of weeds.
• 49:11
  And those weeds are starting, they're poison ivy and they're thorns, they cut your child and they, you've got a big rash because of it. And then now all of a sudden, it's like, oh my goodness, Like, you know, this is actually really, really bad. It's become really overgrown. And so, you know, how because I think that part of it is, it's like, okay, we need to have this initiative, this this, you know, I'm not sure if you've heard the term the locus of control, right? Does someone have a strong locus of control or weak locus of control?
• 49:41
  And how important that is in determining someone's future. Meaning, does someone believe they have the ability to affect change in their own life? You know, some people I've met, they've always had it rough and I ask how's it going? They say, oh, it's just get it's getting worse and what's your future look like? It's gonna be really bad.
• 49:57
  Like they they feel like they have no ability to control the outcome of their life. Whereas like myself, I'm sure like you, I look at and say, well, I can make that be whatever I want it to be. Of course, there's things outside of my control, but I take responsibility. It's like, okay, if I need if I need money, I'll start a business. If I need this, I'll do this.
• 50:14
  If I need food, I'll start, start growing a garden. And so that's one part of it is just that feeling that you can control things. But I think one of the difficult parts of what we do in exposing a lot of what's happening in the world is that the folks that want to understand, like, okay, what's this cabal? What are these 13 bloodlines? What, what's really going on in this world?
• 50:35
  It gets dark and scary. The more you learn about it, and the more you learn, you know, how long they've been doing this, and as you dig in to say, you know, satanic ritual abuse and MK Ultra, and it's like, the government I thought I could trust is actually deeply involved in the depopulation agenda, that, that in and of itself can make a lot of people just freeze up and think, well, know, why not do anything? And I've seen the comments and some of the shows I've done prepping and people are like, well, we're screwed anyway. You know, they're gonna kill us all, so why do anything? So, I mean, how, how do you adjust your mindset?
• 51:14
  Because I know that with your show, you're coming into contact with a lot of the same information I am too. And that you're well aware of this dark satanic and luciferian agenda to get rid of us. I mean, the good people like you and I, they want us off of this earth. So how do you keep your attitude Right?
• 51:36
  David Whited: Know, and that that's a that's a tricky thing, especially as we jumped into this because I thought I was pretty aware, you know, we voted, I followed things, you know, I read a lot. Two things have happened. For one, I have a lot less respect for politicians than I would have before. You know? And I and I I say that in the context, and everybody kind of knows that.
• 51:55
  I think Will Rogers said, he said, you can enjoy hot dogs and politicians pretty good if you don't see how they're made. You know? And and so we kinda look at that that realm of of politics. Those are but those are the people that we look to for fixing things. And and and that's the solutions.
• 52:12
  You know, if you go from the top on down, I used to ask people, you know, I mean, do you think Biden could do your job for a year? Whatever it is you do, you run a tanning salon, you have a, you know, HVAC company, like, whatever it is you do, most people will even answer. Don't care where they're at politically. Like, nah, he couldn't do my job for a year. You know?
• 52:29
  And so we look to these people for answers and they're the least equipped. You know, my daughter brought
• 52:35
  Seth Holehouse: home a greeter. Think you'd have a hard time being a Walmart greeter for a They've been
• 52:40
  David Whited: struggle. They would struggle. If my daughter brought home like a US Senator as a boyfriend, I'd be like, Oh, I had such high hopes for you. You couldn't have found like a decent biker or, you know, some gang member or somebody like, you know, what's the, what are the neighbors going to think now? You know, it's like, It's like that kind of a thing.
• 52:58
  They're not the answer. And as we look at these topics, we have the same kind of show. We've had Christy Hutcherson talk about the border and there's a rape tree and children's underwear. And you hear this stuff, and you're just like, I threw up in my mouth, like, three times while that show was going on, but I still have a mandate of we're gonna cover the darkest things if necessary, but there still has to an element of hope. And so the hope ties into what can you do about it?
• 53:26
  What actions can you take? Because just taking in dark content, it's I don't live in denial that those things are all real. They're a hundred everything you said, a % real, the Luciferians. I would, I thought I could tell like good guys from bad guys in the past. Now I know a lot of good guys wear a suit and they look good and they smell good and come home, and they literally worship Lucifer.
• 53:46
  They sacrifice. They fast. Everything you would think of for any other faith. So those things are all 100% real, but I think there's kind of two groups of people in the world. One is that I think next year can be better than this year, and I have the power to help make it so.
• 54:02
  Now I don't know if it'll be better in every facet. I think the world is gonna get darker and and messier and more violent and bad, but but my world can be better next year, and I got the power to make it so. I can make better decisions I made in the past. I can be wise. I can be prepared.
• 54:15
  I can have the things on hand to do that. I think in that is what keeps you from being in a funk. It keeps your energy high. You're focused on what you you can do, which is the opposite of what most news programs want you to do. That's why I love your show.
• 54:30
  Can hear the darkest information, but it's like, hey, this is true, but what can you do? You know, people walk away empowered. The opposite of that is ignorance is bliss. Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance is death.
• 54:44
  Ignorance is destruction. Ignorance is illness. Ignorance, having your head in the sand doesn't make things better. So you have to balance out this being informed, And then what are solutions that I can do first for me, then for the people I care about, you know, around me to make, you know, decisions to avoid this mess? A lot of people are in the backseat of an Uber driver.
• 55:04
  The Uber driver's drunk and they're in the backseat and they're like, ah, you know? Like you've got to get out of that, of that car mentally and emotionally and say, okay, I'm not going to participate in crazy town here. I'm going to make wise choices for my family. I'm going to eat better, think better, talk better, change my language. I'm I'm I'm gonna sit down today before I go to bed at night.
• 55:25
  I'm gonna write 10 things I have to be thankful for. You know? I'm too depressed. I can't do it. No.
• 55:29
  Stop. Just shush a minute. What's one thing you have to be thankful for? Well, nothing. Do you have kids that love you?
• 55:37
  Well, yeah. Okay. I got this. Do you have this? You know?
• 55:39
  You're breathing. You know? You have air. You go over your sink, you have fresh water to drink. A lot people don't have that.
• 55:45
  You know? So, like, you got 10 things you could be thankful for that just kinda starts to shift that state. Okay. Okay. This is work.
• 55:51
  Keep going. I'm doing better. Okay. Then take action on the things that you know that you can do. And then in that process, there has to be an element of, is my existence making someone else's life better?
• 56:05
  You know, like I got to take action to save me. I got to put the oxygen mask on myself on this plane, but there has to be an element in my life, and I've just found this common amongst everybody that is consistently thriving, is like, is my wife better because she's married to me, or am I like an ankle weight? Am I a nice comfy pair of socks in her life, or am I like a rock in the shoe? How about my kids? Are my kids doing better because I'm their dad?
• 56:34
  And that's a tough question to ask. Can I be more patient? Can I spend more time? Can I get down to their level? Can I put my phone away during dinner and engage with my children?
• 56:43
  You know? It's like, is their life better because I'm their dad or not? You know? How about my neighbors? Are my neighbors any better because I live next door or they tolerate me?
• 56:51
  You know? Like, when you shift that element a little bit towards like the people you come across are blessed by your existence. And I mean fake and you go make everybody a pie or whatever, but if somebody just smile and be nice, you know, goes a long way. You know? But, you know, it starts with the people closest to you.
• 57:10
  Sometimes it's easier to be nicer to your coworkers than it is your spouse. But, like, are the people around me better? So I've got to make good decisions for me, empowered. What can I do? But there has to be an element woven in that.
• 57:21
  Are the people around me better as well? And that's why shows like yours are so important. We try to do the same thing, model it, you know, that when people get done, they can handle something dark, but they're walking away better off because of the interaction.
• 57:34
  Seth Holehouse: You know, I think we could just go on for hours. And it's great because, you know, this is this is exactly what I was hoping to get out of this conversation is just a real heart to heart discussion about how to thrive in this dark world. And I think that this is this is it. I mean, it's taking responsibility. It's just being a good person.
• 57:59
  It's getting back to what it means to be human. And it's so just it's just nice to hear it coming through you. And I hope that the folks that are able to tune into this can leave it and not necessarily leave and think, okay, I now know the the secrets of the bloodlines or some, you know, like some super great intel but actually leave thinking, you know what, I've got more control over my life than I actually thought. And and that's one of the greatest feelings that you can have. So David, I know you were missing your beautiful wife in today's show and want to do again a show with the two of you, but tell us just a little bit about Flyover Conservatives as a show.
• 58:39
  And I'll tell the audience that it's I mean, you guys are one of the most professional shows I see being put out there. And I you're doing just so many amazing things. I've learned so much from you. And I really, really recommend that anybody who's watching Man in America should also be watching the content that you guys are putting out. So I'll pull up your website, flyoverconservatives.com.
• 59:02
  David Whited: But If I told you, if if you like Seth's show, you'll you'll like ours. If you if you don't really care for Seth and his content, probably don't bother. You should like us much either. You know? But if you do, it'd probably be, you know, a similar similar kind of kind of kind of a vibe.
• 59:16
  We basically try to examine current events and culture, and we do it through the lens. We don't pull any punches or try to trick anybody. It's through the lens of conservative Christian values. That's that's what we try to do. And, again, like we've talked about throughout this episode, with a with a a bent towards personal responsibility and a bent towards, you know, a degree of hopefulness, not hopeium, but, like, I think you're more hopeful if, like, okay, here's an action item for me.
• 59:39
  What can I do, you know, to be a part of the solution of this problem, you know, in the world? So we do a nightly show made up of different components of interviews, comes out 08:30 every night central time. And then, I do a conspiracy conversation show every Saturday morning just because I'm fascinated by it. I have on people that I don't agree with on everything, but they they're interesting, and I love it. And it's it's it's like a it's like candy for me or whatever.
• 1:00:00
  You know? It's like a treat. It's just kinda fun to dive into. And then my wife does a show every Wednesday called, which is basically focused on the prophetic report, but she kinda focuses mostly on where's God in the mix of all the things going on in the world right now. And and and and, you know, has God fallen asleep?
• 1:00:16
  Is he chewing his nails? He fallen off the throne? You know, where's God in this mix? And so that that's the most encouraging hopeful thing on the Internet. Think that's every Wednesday at 11:11.
• 1:00:25
  So, those are the kind of the three components, you know, that we focus on. You can go to flyoverconservatives.com.

  Seth Holehouse: And folks, honestly, I I can't recommend, Dave and Stacy enough. Fantastic show, really good insight. And, you know, just it's also just it's pleasant. You guys are nice people. Like, I've I know you off camera, and you're just good people.
• 1:00:57
  I've stayed at your house before. We've watched a movie in the living room and had popcorn and ice cream, and it's just you're just nice kind of people. They're they're, you know, so it's it's good. You know, you look, I think most people have heard the saying that you you know, you are the product of the five people you surround yourself with, right? So surround yourself with people like David and Stacy, and hopefully me if I make the cut, right?
• 1:01:17
  And we can all figure out how to get through this together with a smile on our face and somehow leave this country better off than what it is right now for our children and grandchildren. So, David, thanks again for coming on. It's just it's great talking to you. I really appreciate you taking time from your busy schedule to speak with me today.
