Latest / Brandon Fogal Evolution / #34 - America on the Brink: Politics, Bitcoin, and the Stock Market
Transcript
- 0:00What's up everyone? We are live. It is a Friday night and it has been crazy this week.
- 0:07It's been crazy in the media, crazy in politics, crazy in the stock market.
- 0:13Did you all hear that the FBI foiled a plan to blow up the New York Stock Exchange this week?
- 0:20Did you all hear about that? Bitcoin is going bananas. Bitcoin is just hovering
- 0:25around the $100,000 mark of U.S. currency, the U.S.
- 0:32Dollar, if you're familiar with that. It has been just insane on all levels.
- 0:38It doesn't quiet down. It doesn't slow down in America. America is just an amazing
- 0:44place as well as, I mean, there are other places in this world are pretty cool,
- 0:49but America, America is the best.
- 0:51America is the best. America first. America first.
- 0:55We are about to step into America first. I mean, legit America first.
- 1:00We are less than two months away from Donald Trump taking the presidential helm
- 1:07for the second time. I would say should be third, but we don't need to go down that road.
- 1:13Is he somebody that has won three times, do you think?
- 1:17Or did he actually lose that last time? We don't need to fan the flames of yesteryear.
- 1:22We can just keep it on the straight and narrow.
- 1:25But, I mean, it's just cool, man. I mean, I'm just excited.
- 1:30I am blown away, head over heels,
- 1:34in love with America, the american dream that we get to experience that we get
- 1:40to just get our wrap our arms around i mean do we think about it as much as
- 1:45we should just the world that we live in that we are just,
- 1:49i mean the the age that we were born into
- 1:52do you understand the age that we were born into i think
- 1:55we just we are just so numb to it
- 1:57we just think it's always been this way to have to
- 2:00be able to just talk into a device and talk with someone
- 2:03across the world to just talk into a device and
- 2:06talk with millions of people at once to see
- 2:09what's happening across the world I mean we just think it's always been this
- 2:12way but it's like it's it hasn't but it's so easy to get just used to it just
- 2:19used to it just used to the hum dumb rigmarole I'm not gonna get obnoxious I'm
- 2:23gonna keep myself from being obnoxious I am getting a little chitter chatter
- 2:26and I'm it's because I'm outside and it's cold.
- 2:29I'm in the part of the world where it gets cold.
- 2:32Are you where it gets cold? But I got something to warm me up.
- 2:35I got something to warm me up. I'm trying to avoid the obnoxiousness.
- 2:40If so if my teeth start to chitter chatter
- 2:44what it is you know what it is but i i do have
- 2:46a little something to keep me warm i got my coffee i mean
- 2:49and it's in a yeti baby it's in a yeti coffee cup and man those yeti yetis are
- 2:55freaking dangerous they they can keep stuff so hot that you wouldn't expect
- 3:02and for such a long time this this has not been this is not brought to you by yeti but,
- 3:07someday someday but are you a yeti person or are you a what are those other things i'm thinking.
- 3:14Stanford they're not stanford's there's something else stafford's i see them
- 3:18all the time what are those things called you got a what are those things called
- 3:22stratman's stratman oakmonts,
- 3:25stiffer staffers what are they freaking called
- 3:28what are they called stanley stanley
- 3:31that's what it is stanley what i'm talking about stanley from
- 3:34the office no i'm not talking about him I'm talking about the those but
- 3:38are they girl cups are those girl cups are they
- 3:41girl cups are you do you think they're girl cups
- 3:44or can guys get away with them I don't
- 3:47know I have mixed emotions personally I've never had a Stanley
- 3:49but I do want to get one of our daughters to Stanley
- 3:52because she's such a good girl and she she got
- 3:55oh somebody gave her not a Stanley but kind of like kind of
- 3:58a knockoff Stanley and she kept she she's she
- 4:01takes care of it so much but it like it it kind of just kind of
- 4:04broke down it's just not as effective and and
- 4:07just i guess that's what it is you you get what you
- 4:10pay for that's why i think i'm not i'm not
- 4:13about spending just top-notch dollar dollar dollar bills y'all but i i do think
- 4:18if you kind of get what you pay for in a lot of things and things that like
- 4:22a yeti or a stanley they get there because they produce quality but so i hope
- 4:28you're all staying warm out there hope you're all staying warm.
- 4:32Buckle up, buckle up. I mean, OK, the not only has,
- 4:38like I said, the stock market almost got caputti as the stock market's been
- 4:42pretty dang good since number 47 has been set in motion to be the next president
- 4:48of the United States. The stock market is going good.
- 4:51Stock market's up. Confidence is high. Confidence is high, y'all.
- 4:55But also when the stock market does good, it seems like the crypto market goes
- 5:00crazy as well. So Bitcoin, like I said, it is hovering around $100,000.
- 5:05And so you got to get your hands on some. I did start buying it when it was low.
- 5:13I mean, it's going to crash. Bitcoin is going to crash. It will crash like it always does.
- 5:18But every time it crashes, it continues to overtake its highest mark prior.
- 5:24It's going to continue to –
- 5:25like it is the trajectory. It's going to eventually just be the currency.
- 5:30The currency that all other currencies are defined
- 5:34by And all other currencies are going to be absorbed
- 5:37in Bitcoin will be I mean it's going to be the one world currency It's going
- 5:41to be the one world currency It will somehow end times Where we are all You
- 5:47use Bitcoin In that vein That's what I think That's what I think So I mean So
- 5:53I guess if you're on the side That's not going to be able to buy,
- 5:57sell or trade I guess it's not going to matter how much Bitcoin you have but
- 6:00it'll probably be something like that I said it's starting to get a little bit
- 6:05nuclear if you're looking at the title.
- 6:07It's feeling nuclear in the sense that what Donald Trump is getting ready to
- 6:12step into it doesn't seem like Joe Biden and his administration is putting him
- 6:16in a good spot. It seems like.
- 6:19It seems like the current Democratic administration is like,
- 6:23we don't give a hint what happens.
- 6:25Just let it all – the things they're allowing to happen in Russia and Ukraine,
- 6:29it seems like they're not only just sitting back watching it and not even kind
- 6:34of putting out the flames,
- 6:35but almost they're allowing the flames to fan and get bigger.
- 6:40I mean because Joe Biden and his posse, they're not going to be able to stay in power.
- 6:47They're getting ready to walk out the door. But do they think that they can
- 6:52allow... Say World War III happens tomorrow.
- 6:56Does that mean the voted-in new administration gets to still take over?
- 7:01Or could the current administration just say, we're in martial law,
- 7:07we cannot allow the transfer into power at this time.
- 7:10Come back later, folks. Come back later. I'm getting obnoxious.
- 7:14I try to not get obnoxious and I think the weather it
- 7:17starts getting at me it starts not at me starting to sound like Alex Jones but
- 7:23Alex Jones is going through stuff as well man did you hear that he is suing
- 7:26the Sandy Hook families that's what I saw a headline something like that that
- 7:32I mean that is kind of completely turn of events I don't even know where to go there.
- 7:37Probably should steer clear of that but but I'm
- 7:40not going to be afraid to steer clear I'm not going to be afraid and
- 7:43think that i can't touch anything we like
- 7:46i said if you're an american you can say whatever the heck you
- 7:49want you are a sovereign of this nation the government
- 7:52works for you you are the ceo and
- 7:56you are you are the businessman in power government works for you get that mind
- 8:01flip and mind that mindset just set get that mindset set for you get that all
- 8:07flipped so we don't think that and be afraid of the government the government
- 8:10has just kind of made it seem like we need to bow down to them,
- 8:14whereas they should be bowing down to us.
- 8:17That's the way that this country was founded. That's the way this country is supposed to operate.
- 8:23What are you all going on in your neck of the woods?
- 8:27Are you all fired up for the new administration to take over?
- 8:32I think most people are just completely flabbergasted with the picks that Donald
- 8:38Trump has already picked to go in when he's his cabinet is just looking pretty good.
- 8:43I think we're all let down by Matt Gaetz stepping out, stepping aside that that
- 8:49kind of shook us a little bit.
- 8:51Because, but was he just a, just a grenade just set in there just to kind of
- 8:56put the powers that be like on watch, get them thinking a guy like that could
- 9:03become our attorney general.
- 9:04I don't know why he stepped out though. I mean, I, it's kind of,
- 9:08he just kind of stepped aside our allegations.
- 9:12Do they have any weight to them? Or is he just kind of just,
- 9:17he needed to kind of bow out.
- 9:19He needed to, I don't know. that just seems kind
- 9:21of weird that i think that kind of got us in our just kind
- 9:25of stepping back kind of reevaluating like maybe it
- 9:27was a little bit too good to be true i think they he put
- 9:30out his cabinet and it was like just those guys these people
- 9:33are gonna rock rock the house rock the house i gotta keep i gotta fight back
- 9:38the obnoxiousness and the obscenities that's obscene and that's why it says
- 9:42on my profile do not be obscene do not be racist do not that content is prohibited. Definitely.
- 9:51Keep it clean. Keep it classy, folks. I feel like if you need to,
- 9:56if you need to get sick and twisted, it's not going to be good for you.
- 10:02It's not going to be good for you. It's going to be, it's going to let you down.
- 10:06You'll, you'll go and you'll go in directions you don't want to go. You don't need to go.
- 10:11Don't, I mean, it's, it's okay to get down and dirty every now and then.
- 10:14But if you set that as the, the bench line, the, I guess the benchmark,
- 10:19it's going to let you down.
- 10:20It's not going to be the best way to do it, man. It is good to be in America.
- 10:26I think we just got to keep our mindset and our values set on that.
- 10:32We don't need to make everywhere America, unless we start making everywhere
- 10:36America, as in taking over, taking over the planet.
- 10:41But I don't think we need to do that. I think we need to just be
- 10:45ourselves be ourselves and just for
- 10:48we are that beacon of hope and light in this
- 10:51world why why do i talk like that
- 10:53why do i talk like that i don't need to talk like that i i you do get that radio
- 10:59voice anyone that is that it does not guard themselves you get that radio voice
- 11:04i'm gonna talk like this i'm mine i'm gonna talk no not that it's more like
- 11:08you don't like this Then you talk like that.
- 11:13It's that rigamarole. Rigamarole. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to
- 11:18do that. I'm going to fight against that.
- 11:19Fight against the grain, baby. Fight against the grain. Just.
- 11:24Feels so good. Feels so good, man.
- 11:28We just need to light it up, light it up, light it up, light it up,
- 11:31light it up, light it up, light it up, light it up, light it up.
- 11:34Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
- 11:37Man, if you knew Randy Macho Man Savage, he was fire, man. He was awesome.
- 11:46I do. I can make anything about anything.
- 11:50Something I do love and I love to talk about is wrestling.
- 11:53I am i am balls to
- 11:56the wall baby wrestling fanatical my
- 12:00fanatical and we are the home
- 12:02of the brave and the home of the free this world
- 12:05can be a dark place but it don't
- 12:08gotta be i guess i guess it kind of gotta be oh
- 12:11man come on my i know we did our show last week
- 12:14about jake paul and mike tyson the dust
- 12:17has settled what do you all think i've heard so many different things do
- 12:20you think it was rigged i mean i first i went into it i
- 12:23was thinking mike tyson's definitely got to rig this as in he could
- 12:26annihilate jake paul but i don't think so people are
- 12:29like using that video and making it seem like tyson
- 12:32held back he did not help hold back he did not hold back i think jake held back
- 12:38so you could say it was rigged in the sense that he was gonna win and which
- 12:43he did soundly i would say soundly but i mean that's not to discredit Mike Tyson.
- 12:49Mike Tyson, I guess I was about to say he's the best ever, but I don't know.
- 12:54I would need to do a little bit more research. Because when I think best ever.
- 12:58You think the person in their peak prime personage, who they are in their best
- 13:04possible fighting age and just the prime and like against whoever in all at all time.
- 13:12It's the same with basketball, like Michael Jordan in his prime versus Kobe
- 13:16in his prime or LeBron in his prime.
- 13:18It's at that point. It's not like when Michael Jordan is 40 years old and going.
- 13:23Against 20 year olds, but it's when he was at his best.
- 13:26And same thing for Mike Tyson in boxing like the best
- 13:29ever and something that I've said like it makes
- 13:32me kind of sick and nauseated to think about like fighters that
- 13:35they have to fight against people at their own weight.
- 13:38Bracket their own like if you weigh 100 pounds.
- 13:41But you can kick the out of someone that
- 13:45weighs 300 then you can do that it's like why do we
- 13:47have to confine people to fight
- 13:50at the same weight bracket why do we
- 13:53do that like are we scared that like the the
- 13:56heavy weight's gonna just destroy the the low pounder
- 14:00guy or whatever i mean if you're a good fighter you're a good fighter you
- 14:03don't need to be just bracketed in to fighting
- 14:06against people your own weight that's i'll i'll
- 14:09go i'll fight to the death on that one against somebody if someone
- 14:12wants to argue with me you want if you're a person that's out there and you think
- 14:14boxing fighting and you're going to argue with me like and
- 14:18say that oh they have to fight against the same they
- 14:21can't fight against someone heavier than them that would be
- 14:23not it wouldn't be fair it's
- 14:26like if you're a good fighter you're a good fighter so if you
- 14:29if you disagree with that i would love to.
- 14:33Hear it i i would seriously love to hear it
- 14:35let me hear what you would argue i'm
- 14:39i i agree that i'm in the minority but it
- 14:42doesn't matter if you're in the minority if you're a minority person it
- 14:45doesn't matter if you're right you're right and about that i'm definitely
- 14:48right definitely right so if someone wants to argue with that bring
- 14:52it on bring it on brother i'm gonna
- 14:55switch gears a little bit we're gonna talk a little bit about sports and kansas
- 15:00city's i guess the where we are at because we are coming off of our first loss
- 15:05of the season now that i look back at it i mean like i i'm definitely biased
- 15:09if uh if someone if i have a team that i'm rooting for if i a team that i love I don't care.
- 15:15That's why I would not be the best person at gambling or betting on because
- 15:19I'm going to bet on who I want to win.
- 15:21I can't have mixed emotions. I can't have mixed desires and who I want to win
- 15:27as opposed to who I need to win.
- 15:28I'm going to bet on the person that I want to win. I want to have one streamlined
- 15:32goal where I put all my inertia and just pack it in there. That is where my.
- 15:39Energy is going to be pouring into when I am rooting for them.
- 15:42I'm not going to be rooting for someone who I want to win, but then the other
- 15:45team who I actually need to win or the odds go for me.
- 15:48So that I make a little bit of money. I don't care. I would rather lose my money and have my team win.
- 15:53I mean, we are in kind of new territory. I think we're kind of getting used
- 15:57to it in Kansas City that our team just wins, but it has not been that way for most of my life.
- 16:03It has not been that. I mean, like when as in the big playoffs and if you're
- 16:08a Kansas Citian, You understand, we got to the playoffs many times,
- 16:12multitude of times, but we always got let down.
- 16:15We always got heartbroken, completely destroyed, because there were so many
- 16:20heartbreaking losses in the playoffs that we experienced.
- 16:23And then this new kid on the block, Patrick Mahomes, comes in,
- 16:27and I look at him in college now, and I'm just like, what the heck?
- 16:34How did anyone miss him? how did anyone not see who he was and not just like
- 16:42trade in the farm to get him.
- 16:45How like how did he go to like pick number
- 16:4810 or i think it went 10 actually i
- 16:50think it went nine but i'm gonna be conservative and say 10
- 16:53and like how we snuck him out of there i will
- 16:57say this like he completely caught me
- 16:59off guard i did not know him at all i just
- 17:02i didn't expect anything really from him i didn't i
- 17:05before he even played his first games in kansas city i had not watched any tape
- 17:10on him i and i do i don't know why i think he was just like to me he was just
- 17:14a new guy i came into the league and did not at all expect him to be anything
- 17:19like he is he has just completely,
- 17:23changed the game you could definitely say that the teams have caught up and he does he doesn't.
- 17:29Numbers-wise, statistics-wise do it like he did before. He's definitely not doing that.
- 17:35He's not putting up 50 touchdowns a year like he did his first season or his
- 17:39first starting season, but he just knows how to win. I guess.
- 17:44The thing that kind of startles me about him is he gets hurt a little bit easy, somewhat.
- 17:51And his game is very much predicated on his ability to move.
- 17:55He's not like Brady. He's not like Brady where he just sits back or even Peyton
- 18:00Manning where he just is able to just sit back there and just completely decimate teams.
- 18:04I mean, he's a rung below Brady, Marino, and Peyton in that sense.
- 18:12He can pick people apart, but not at all to their degree and their level at this time.
- 18:19His game is very much enhanced by his ability to move and make those insane
- 18:25throws and those awkward angles that he does.
- 18:28So in that sense, it gives me a little cause to pause to think about that he could get hurt.
- 18:35Because whenever his legs get kind of tied up and he can't move around as easily
- 18:41as he does, to me, it, it, it makes me a little worrisome, but, uh, I don't know.
- 18:47I just, he, he's not always going to be a spry young kid.
- 18:52He's, which is weird. He's getting somewhat close to 30, but I mean,
- 18:56Brady played till he was like 50, but it's like, I don't, I think when all said
- 18:59done, I, I don't think he's going to surpass Brady in the sense like the, the super bowls.
- 19:05But then again, oh my gosh, it's like, I go like, I start talking with my head,
- 19:10but then my heart just, takes over and it's like the freak you think and why would you even say that.
- 19:16I'm like i'm like just like hating me two seconds ago like why the freak would
- 19:21you even think or say such a thing that was just a atrocious thought.
- 19:26Atrocious thinking that needs to be completely
- 19:30eradicated i i i think i
- 19:32got split so personality in the sense that like i got
- 19:35two i got dr what's his name dr jekyll mr hyde or whatever i got those those
- 19:41people in my mind back and forth just battling it out just arguing back and
- 19:46forth so it's like mr hyde says mahomes is gonna be the best he is gonna be
- 19:52the best dr jekyll is just It's like.
- 19:55No, you got to be smart.
- 19:57You got to be rational and keep your I's dotted and your T's crossed.
- 20:04And you got to just know what you're thinking and say what you mean and don't deviate on nothing.
- 20:11It's the battle of anyone that loves sports.
- 20:14It's the battle of anyone that loves Patrick Mahomes.
- 20:17I will expand. And I will expand my wings and fly and talk about other players.
- 20:24But it's like whenever I get a chance to even talk about Mahomes,
- 20:27I would love to talk about him. He is the face of the NFL.
- 20:30You can say Josh Allen is the up-and-coming. He's going to be the person that
- 20:34– he is Peyton Manning to Tom Brady in Mahomes.
- 20:38Just the same way Burrow is. Burrow, like – those are the new kids on the block, the new cats.
- 20:43I mean, you think of these guys, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Burrow,
- 20:49these guys, they have made us forget about the yesteryear of Brady,
- 20:54of Manning, of Marino, and I think...
- 20:58And even Rodgers. Rodgers is kind of out the door now. He's kind of,
- 21:01he's like almost like the, that bridge that brought us from Brady to Mahomes.
- 21:07And I like, I like Rodgers too.
- 21:09I'm such a, I'm such a freaking player driven just person.
- 21:12Like teams and when this, this team against that team and all that,
- 21:16like, I don't care. The players are what brings the eyes to the field.
- 21:20What the players are doing is what makes the difference. Those are the ones
- 21:23that put the The butt's in the seat.
- 21:25Because, I mean, you can always have a team, but sometimes if your team isn't
- 21:29doing well, isn't playing top-notch, you fall back to players.
- 21:33Players are what is exciting to watch. A coach doesn't bring eyes to the game.
- 21:38A coach doesn't bring fans to watch the game. You want to see the players.
- 21:41Players are what makes the engine go.
- 21:45It's what makes it fun.
- 21:48I used to think coaches were the world, But I think coaches just get,
- 21:52they either get blessed with a good supporting cast, a good group of people
- 21:56that can go out there and make them look good.
- 21:59And then they got others that can't perform on the field and make them look bad.
- 22:03Definitely, by far, players are way more important than coaches.
- 22:07Coaches are important in a sense.
- 22:09They keep everything structured and they keep everything in check and help it
- 22:15so it doesn't go off the tracks.
- 22:17But like they're not the ones out there making the
- 22:20plays the coat the players are the ones that
- 22:23make make them either look like einstein or
- 22:26just look like a dunce coaches that's why i mean like i used to think like you
- 22:31just gotta get that phil jackson but it wasn't phil jackson it was it was michael
- 22:34jordan that was doing it it was it was you could say scotty pippen but it was
- 22:39it was michael jordan that was doing it you need that one awesome player players
- 22:44are the name of the game baby so i I mean,
- 22:46some people are going to be talking a lot of smack about Josh Allen.
- 22:49He's got Mahomes number. He's got Mahomes number. No, he ain't got nothing.
- 22:55Josh Allen, he wins. He wins when it doesn't count.
- 23:01He went against Mahomes, against Mahomes.
- 23:04But I am surprised about Josh Allen because to me, it seems like I'm surprised
- 23:08that he's been able to stay healthy himself.
- 23:12I'm extremely surprised.
- 23:14The hits that he takes and he's like a bulldozer just
- 23:17running through there a fast bulldozer that is but he he's
- 23:21taking some licks and he's he doesn't he's always
- 23:23going to play second fiddle to my
- 23:27homes at the end of the day he is until he
- 23:31can win in the big games against my homes in the playoffs and
- 23:34i i've been going into last week people are saying it's good for the chiefs
- 23:37to go in there and get a loss get that loss out of the way get that loss out
- 23:41of the way so you can concentrate on the playoffs and win in the playoffs it
- 23:46no no they i i wanted them to go completely what would it be it wouldn't even be it'd be like,
- 23:5219-0 to win it all if you won every game. Mahomes, he is going to do that some
- 23:57year. I thought it was going to be this year.
- 23:58I mean, if I was a betting man, I would have put all my money on them going
- 24:03undefeated and winning the Super Bowl. Undefeated.
- 24:07So I'm not happy they lost. I'm not at all happy they lost. I'm completely just,
- 24:11all right, bring on the playoffs. Can they come back?
- 24:14Because people are going to think they were exposed, and it's going to come
- 24:19out this week and the week's upcoming. I don't think so. I disagree.
- 24:23I disagree. Mahomes is going to come out this week, and he's going to send a statement game.
- 24:29This week, it's not going to be about just getting the W. It's not going to be about getting the W.
- 24:35He's going to put up five touchdowns this week.
- 24:39He's going to make it his mission to completely just annihilate the other team,
- 24:44and he's going to do that. Mark my words, he's going to do that.
- 24:48Five touchdowns at least this week. At least.
