[00:00:00] This podcast is brought to you by the Foundation for World Harmony and by the Startup Core Podcast.

[00:00:08] Come with me to discover the transformative power of kindness and the joy it brings.

[00:00:14] Join me as we explore every Monday morning simple yet profound ways to elevate your happiness one gesture at a time.

[00:00:28] Oh, wow! Fantastic, baby!

[00:00:38] Welcome to another edition of The Complete Guide to Happiness.

[00:00:42] Hope you had a happy week and we're going to have a happy show today.

[00:00:46] Okay, so as you know, I send motivational quotes on happiness and other subjects every day to my over 700 WhatsApp groups.

[00:00:55] Hope you're in one. Hope you're enjoying it. If not, please consider coming one because I want to have one admin in all 10,000 cities

[00:01:04] spreading kindness and happiness.

[00:01:07] Now today's quote was from, or yesterday's quote was from Albert Einstein, who said,

[00:01:11] If you want to live a happy life, live it,

[00:01:16] what's this I can already read, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.

[00:01:21] Very, very brilliant man.

[00:01:23] And of course, I always add one of my philosophical quotes with all the famous people.

[00:01:28] And I said, your happiness comes first.

[00:01:32] Then you're able to make others happy.

[00:01:34] The reason for living.

[00:01:37] And happiness is our goal in life.

[00:01:39] So I have a real, I'm here in St. Louis, Missouri on the road, doing a little bit of business and eating a lot of American food because I haven't been in the country for five years.

[00:01:49] And I met a young man.

[00:01:52] He's 44.

[00:01:53] To me, that's a young man.

[00:01:55] I'm a young man because I think I'm 26.

[00:01:57] But, and he was, he's so brilliant because he has a memory.

[00:02:02] And he studied UFOs like I did.

[00:02:05] And he's got some great opinions.

[00:02:07] And he went to, we're going to talk about Burning Man because he went to Burning Man.

[00:02:12] Fantastic event that there's a lot of happy people at that.

[00:02:16] And we're going to talk about, I think we're going to throw in some drugs because he's taken a lot of drugs as a lot of people have.

[00:02:22] And you know, I always say everything in moderation.

[00:02:25] I don't have anything against drugs, but if, or alcohol, which is a drug, but moderation.

[00:02:32] And, and you know, typically drugs and alcohol are an escape because we're not happy.

[00:02:37] And a lot of people burn themselves out and then finally decide to quit because something really, really, really bad happened.

[00:02:44] And then they decide to be happy maybe.

[00:02:48] But that's our goal in life to be happy.

[00:02:51] And if you're doing something that's making you happy, keep doing it.

[00:02:54] If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[00:02:56] So I think you're going to enjoy today's conversation.

[00:02:59] I've enjoyed all my interviews.

[00:03:01] This is the 13th episode here in very, very cold St. Louis, Missouri, actually Imperial, Missouri, very close to St. Louis.

[00:03:11] But the last five years on the road, I've lived in some very hot climates.

[00:03:16] Sharmu Shake, Egypt, where it's about 100 degrees every day.

[00:03:20] I think when I was there, it hadn't rained in, you know, three years or something like that.

[00:03:25] Then living in Belize, where a lot of rain came, but it was a little bit less hot, you know, 80 to 90.

[00:03:31] And now I'm living in Antigua, where it's about 70 to 80.

[00:03:34] And it had its rainy season, and it was fun.

[00:03:37] I love to see the rain, especially when it's lightning and thunder.

[00:03:42] But I've got a podcast to do, and I'm going to bring him in in a second here.

[00:03:46] And we're going to have some fun with Mark, who is one of our newest ambassadors, which now number at 10,100.

[00:03:53] And what is it?

[00:03:56] What's the count?

[00:03:57] What's the count?

[00:03:58] 10,126.

[00:04:00] I think people from all over the world that are understanding that the three commitments to kindness solve all mankind's problems, quite literally.

[00:04:10] I made it real simple because people can't remember four agreements, famous book.

[00:04:15] They can't remember the Ten Commandments of the famous, I've got to tell you a little story.

[00:04:20] So, you know, I used to have four commitments, and the fourth was to say kind words.

[00:04:24] But you don't say kind words to your water.

[00:04:27] Oh, water, you're so delicious.

[00:04:29] You say kind words to people and animals and plants.

[00:04:32] So that's commitment number two, of course, be kind to all others.

[00:04:37] So, what was I going to say?

[00:04:39] You know, these aren't scripted just like my other show.

[00:04:43] Fantastic.

[00:04:44] But, oh damn, I think I lost my train of thought.

[00:04:48] What was I saying?

[00:04:49] Anyway, without further ado, let's get Mark in here.

[00:04:52] He's out there having a cigarette.

[00:04:54] But, and you shouldn't smoke cigarettes, of course, but everything in moderation.

[00:05:00] So, in a second, we'll bring in Mark and, of course, another cooking show.

[00:05:06] Let me think.

[00:05:07] What else did I want to say in the opening here?

[00:05:09] I read my quote.

[00:05:11] Give you a little dissertation.

[00:05:13] I'll talk to you in a little bit.

[00:05:14] Stay tuned.

[00:05:16] Okay, I'm back.

[00:05:17] I did a little research and I wrote it down because I wanted to tell you about some happy organizations.

[00:05:24] My favorite course is one of my sponsors and good friend, John Paul DeGioia, who has peace, love and happiness.

[00:05:32] And he doesn't take donations.

[00:05:33] It's his own money.

[00:05:34] And he's funding some really amazing things.

[00:05:37] But here's a couple of things I looked up under happiness.

[00:05:40] There's a guy named Dr. Tim Sharp.

[00:05:43] He's known as Dr. Happy.

[00:05:45] That's a fantastic name.

[00:05:46] And he's with the Happiness Institute in Australia.

[00:05:50] This website is happinessanditscauses.com.au.

[00:05:55] And he has what's called the Happiness Diet.

[00:05:57] So you might want to check that out.

[00:05:58] There's a lot of information on happiness because I'm told that the World Health Organization

[00:06:08] that depression is the number one cause for unhappiness.

[00:06:18] I guess that's how it works.

[00:06:19] I wrote it down here a second ago.

[00:06:21] It's the greatest cause of suffering worldwide, depression.

[00:06:25] And if you smile, it releases depression.

[00:06:28] And if you laugh, even more depression because it releases endorphins, dopamine and serotonin.

[00:06:34] And when you say the word fantastic, it makes you smile.

[00:06:37] It forces you to smile even when you're feeling horrible.

[00:06:40] Okay.

[00:06:40] So that was one organization.

[00:06:44] Actionforhappiness.org.

[00:06:46] That's a really cool one.

[00:06:48] I thought that was pretty good.

[00:06:49] In the meantime, they donate things to people.

[00:06:54] It's happinessinstitute.org.

[00:06:58] And they have a thing like I have in Antigua.

[00:07:02] I call it give and get where you don't you drop off things that you don't need.

[00:07:06] They have these things with books as well.

[00:07:08] And people pick it up and it's working well in Belize.

[00:07:14] Happy, happiness.

[00:07:16] What is it?

[00:07:20] Happiness.

[00:07:22] Happierlivesinstitute.org.

[00:07:23] I can't read my own writing.

[00:07:24] I apologize for that.

[00:07:26] Um, so that was a pretty cool organization there.

[00:07:30] And then there's Project Happiness.

[00:07:32] Uh, and then there's, uh, worldhappiness.foundation.

[00:07:39] Uh, there's thewaytohappiness.org.

[00:07:44] And they have a book that's been distributed.

[00:07:47] Uh, they've distributed a hundred million copies in 114 languages in over 170 countries.

[00:07:54] That is fantastic.

[00:07:57] Thewaytohappiness.org.

[00:07:59] Check them out.

[00:07:59] I don't know if they're giving away the book for free or, uh, you have to pay for it, but,

[00:08:03] um, that's a lot of copies, a hundred million.

[00:08:06] One day we'll hopefully we'll have a hundred million ambassadors of kindness and it's free

[00:08:10] to join my organization.

[00:08:12] Uh, it's my gift to the world.

[00:08:14] Um, there's a lot of, uh, information on how to be happy, but know that no one's going

[00:08:21] to make you happy.

[00:08:22] You have to decide you want to be happy.

[00:08:24] And if you say the global kindness pledge, uh, it will lead you to happiness because it

[00:08:29] forces you to say the word fantastic.

[00:08:31] Um, and before I bring in Mark, let's do it together.

[00:08:36] Repeat after me.

[00:08:37] I pledge to be kind to and love myself.

[00:08:41] I pledge to be kind to and strive to love all others.

[00:08:45] I pledge to be kind to love and respect our mother earth.

[00:08:50] Are you saying it with passion?

[00:08:52] We are all fantastic.

[00:08:54] You are fantastic.

[00:08:56] I am fantastic.

[00:08:58] Be fantastic.

[00:09:00] Fantastic people don't lie, steal, cheat, fight, or kill.

[00:09:04] If you must lie, lie next to someone that you love.

[00:09:06] If you must steal, steal away from bad company.

[00:09:09] If you must cheat, cheat death.

[00:09:11] If you must fight, fight tyranny.

[00:09:13] And if you must kill, kill a bad habit.

[00:09:15] So that's the only time you should be doing those bad things.

[00:09:19] Man does some really bad things.

[00:09:22] And we've just, we've pretty much polluted an entire planet.

[00:09:27] You know, the streams, the rivers, the lakes, the oceans, the seas, the lands and the atmosphere and outer space.

[00:09:34] Now we did it.

[00:09:36] We need to curb that.

[00:09:38] We need to take accountability for our actions for a happier world.

[00:09:42] And the kindness pledge will create happiness.

[00:09:44] It will make people aware of their environment.

[00:09:49] Make them aware of the fantastic word that spreads energy, kindness, and love.

[00:09:55] Build self-confidence, of course, and fosters camaraderie in groups.

[00:09:59] It's fantastic.

[00:10:01] Try it.

[00:10:02] Do the kindness challenge for the next 30 days, three times a day, out loud with passion and vigor.

[00:10:09] Say, I am fantastic.

[00:10:12] Because it's called manifestation.

[00:10:14] A lot of people look in the mirror and say, I'm a loser.

[00:10:16] I'm broke.

[00:10:17] I'm bald.

[00:10:17] I'm fat and ugly.

[00:10:19] That's not positive.

[00:10:21] That's not good.

[00:10:22] So you get out of depression.

[00:10:23] Get out of, reduce your stress and anxiety.

[00:10:27] Say the word fantastic because it'll make you smile.

[00:10:30] So without further ado, let's bring Mark in and get that out of the way.

[00:10:33] I want to let you know about these great organizations out there, including mine, which is the foundationforworldharmony.org, befantastic.today, worldkindnesslist.com, and a few different websites with a lot of information.

[00:10:49] And of course, my Be Fantastic YouTube channel with over 2,100 videos of me traveling around the world, partying like a rock star at times, cooking up shows, interviewing people, showing you the Giza Zoo, the pyramids, Old Faithful in Yellowstone, the Boy Noise Strait in Istanbul, Kiev before the war.

[00:11:11] A lot of nice things on that channel.

[00:11:13] You got to check it out.

[00:11:14] So here we go.

[00:11:15] On with the show, as they say.

[00:11:17] Well, everybody, I have my guests from, we're in St. Louis, Missouri, or Imperial County, actually, Missouri, or something.

[00:11:25] We're in America, as they say.

[00:11:27] Two bald guys in America.

[00:11:30] And this is Mark Andres, our 10,115th Ambassador of Kindness.

[00:11:36] Welcome to the Kindness Revolution.

[00:11:38] Nice to meet you.

[00:11:39] Because with your help and many others, we're going to make it a kinder world and a happy world.

[00:11:44] Because kindness, you might agree, leads to happiness.

[00:11:47] Would you agree with that?

[00:11:48] That's the way this works.

[00:11:49] Okay.

[00:11:50] So you're from Hilo, Hawaii.

[00:11:52] Yes, sir.

[00:11:53] Aloha.

[00:11:54] Thank you.

[00:11:54] That's both hello.

[00:11:55] We just looked at the cameras so people can see us.

[00:11:57] We don't have to look at each other.

[00:11:58] I know what you look like.

[00:11:59] I can see you right there, actually.

[00:12:00] There you go.

[00:12:02] And so I don't have my regular green screen.

[00:12:06] But this will do.

[00:12:07] You know, we say it's not about quality.

[00:12:09] It's about content.

[00:12:10] And this guy, I wish, I pray I would have his memory.

[00:12:14] And we were talking last night on a lot of different subjects.

[00:12:17] So we're going to cover a few of them, which are UFOs, which are where maybe humans came from.

[00:12:23] You know, from the Anunnaki, perhaps.

[00:12:25] Perhaps we're going to cover where he attended the Burning Man concert, which is probably going to be, when it happens, the happiest place on earth.

[00:12:35] Right?

[00:12:36] And sex, drugs, and rock and roll.

[00:12:38] Why not?

[00:12:39] You know, last night's conversation was off the chart.

[00:12:41] So I had to share it with my audience.

[00:12:43] And as you know, I interview one ambassador a week.

[00:12:46] And it's only going to take me about 325 years to interview one a week at the rate it's going.

[00:12:51] But there's so many people joining every day.

[00:12:54] It'll never end.

[00:12:55] But when I meet a fantastic person, and I've been doing this for five years, I interview them.

[00:13:01] If I go to a fantastic place like the pyramids, I tape it.

[00:13:05] So it's just my way of sharing my little world with everyone.

[00:13:08] And hopefully they can gain something from it.

[00:13:11] Learn from my mistakes.

[00:13:11] We all make mistakes, right?

[00:13:13] Yes, we do.

[00:13:14] Let's start with your mistake.

[00:13:15] You made a mistake, and you ended up in jail.

[00:13:18] I haven't had the pleasure of going to jail yet, which I think would be a fantastic experience.

[00:13:24] But tell us about that little endeavor.

[00:13:27] The one thing I always say is, well, Tachi, one thing I can tell you is persistence and to never give up.

[00:13:33] And it's basically, when going through high school, straight-A student, sports, accolades, I can only imagine the day that I could have my kids have.

[00:13:46] Not to sound cocky or anything, but the truth is, I had my scholarships lined up.

[00:13:50] Everything was going good.

[00:13:52] And my senior year in high school, I had gotten a fight at the movie theaters.

[00:13:56] And one thing we've learned is this, is that there's certain counties and certain states that are a little harsher than others.

[00:14:02] Ventura County, their rule is you go on vacation, leave on probation.

[00:14:07] One fight simply there, it got me started into, they charged me with five counts, five felonies, assault with a deadly weapon, intent to do bodily harm, great bodily injury.

[00:14:18] What was the weapon?

[00:14:19] They said that my foot was a weapon.

[00:14:22] A deadly weapon, yep.

[00:14:24] Kickboxing, horrible sport.

[00:14:25] Yes, sir.

[00:14:27] And the thing was, is, you know what?

[00:14:29] I didn't start the fight, but that's all semantics at this point.

[00:14:33] One thing I did find is, I got to go through the culmination ceremony, so I walked into, you know, I did my whole graduation, walked under the bleachers, then got cuffed up and went to jail for the next year, about 18 months fighting the case.

[00:14:47] 18 months in jail.

[00:14:48] The wild thing was this.

[00:14:50] Yes.

[00:14:51] What's the moral of that story?

[00:14:52] Oh, the moral.

[00:14:53] Don't fight.

[00:14:54] The moral of that story is, you know what?

[00:14:56] Think twice before you do something.

[00:14:58] Do everything else.

[00:14:59] Just like how you measure twice, cut once.

[00:15:02] Think twice before and learn to control your anger.

[00:15:04] Imagine if everyone would think before they say something.

[00:15:07] Wouldn't that be cool?

[00:15:08] Yeah.

[00:15:08] Because people just blurt out shit, you know?

[00:15:11] I mean, you got to think before you do anything, you know?

[00:15:15] That's the truth.

[00:15:15] But don't fight.

[00:15:16] I mean, that's one of the, I mean, I just don't get the wars, you know, the 32 wars going on.

[00:15:22] I mean, he's a historian, by the way.

[00:15:23] I mean, it was great to hear.

[00:15:25] We're going to talk about the history of mankind.

[00:15:28] So that was, the moral is don't fight.

[00:15:31] It really is.

[00:15:32] You know, I tell people, tell your girl that you're not a coward, but you're smart enough to walk away from a fight.

[00:15:37] Because you could be in jail for the rest of your life if they fell over and died and hit their head and died from a stupid little accident.

[00:15:44] I mean, it's an argument.

[00:15:45] So, you know, we shouldn't argue, fight, lie, bully, steal, cheat, you know, rape, all those horrible things, man.

[00:15:51] Well, one thing starts a catalyst which will cause a snowball effect.

[00:15:55] It can go both ways.

[00:15:56] Yeah.

[00:15:56] Simple thing is, is, you know what?

[00:15:58] If I chose to walk away from that and I rolled down that hill, it could have led to me becoming a doctor, an astrophysicist, going to college, doing a whole bunch of things.

[00:16:08] Exactly.

[00:16:08] And you know what?

[00:16:09] And that snowball will rolled and rolled and rolled.

[00:16:11] The other thing is, I went to jail.

[00:16:14] And you know what?

[00:16:14] I could have gotten in trouble in jail and it could have snowballed down and could have found myself a career criminal path and never seen freedom again.

[00:16:22] So, I heard you learn a lot of, you learn how to be a criminal after going to jail, you know, or prison.

[00:16:29] I thought the funniest fact.

[00:16:30] Like a school.

[00:16:31] The funniest fact I had to say I learned when I was in there was everybody there has a new way to make money and a new crime that's the best next thing to do.

[00:16:40] Exactly.

[00:16:41] Exactly.

[00:16:41] It's a school.

[00:16:41] Yeah.

[00:16:41] They're in there for that crime.

[00:16:44] Right.

[00:16:44] It's a school of criminal because you learn how to be a better criminal so you don't get caught next time, right?

[00:16:48] The only thing is, I don't want to learn to be a thief from a thief in jail.

[00:16:51] No, of course not.

[00:16:51] Of course not.

[00:16:52] Of course not.

[00:16:53] That's a great story.

[00:16:55] I haven't, well, actually, one time I got in an accident and I got a piece of paper because it was a horrible accident and they said I should have died.

[00:17:02] And I looked in my pocket the next morning and it said, you've been arrested by an officer of the California Highway Patrol.

[00:17:07] But due to the nature of your injuries, it was pretty bad.

[00:17:11] We're not brought in for booking, but we'll be notified by mail pending criminal charges.

[00:17:16] And never heard a thing.

[00:17:18] But I think they just tore up whatever they wanted to tear up.

[00:17:22] Oh, they're, you know.

[00:17:23] Sometimes you get lucky.

[00:17:24] That was the old days when people cut you loose.

[00:17:27] You're drinking and driving and they cut you loose.

[00:17:28] But some idiot, after a policeman cut him loose and he got in an accident, he sued the police department for not arresting him because he wouldn't have gotten in the accident had he been arrested like he should have been for drinking and driving.

[00:17:40] That idiot caused everyone else not to have any breaks in life.

[00:17:45] Terrible, terrible.

[00:17:46] So let's talk about changing subject.

[00:17:48] Let's talk about Burning Man.

[00:17:49] You attended Burning Man, which, well, I would think would be the happiest place.

[00:17:54] What's the last word?

[00:17:55] Two weeks?

[00:17:55] It's two weeks.

[00:17:56] Two weeks.

[00:17:57] You get a black rock city.

[00:17:58] They create a city out in the middle of the desert.

[00:18:01] And the whole theory of this, you leave with what you bring.

[00:18:05] So it leaves no footprint.

[00:18:07] So no footprint on the earth.

[00:18:09] Which is the third commitment to kindness.

[00:18:11] Protect our planet.

[00:18:12] Be kind to it.

[00:18:13] Don't let it pollute.

[00:18:14] And when I went, it was a long, it was a while ago.

[00:18:19] And now it's been more commercialized.

[00:18:20] But the key concept was, there's no money.

[00:18:24] Everything's a barter system.

[00:18:25] Everyone goes there.

[00:18:26] You have your own little camp.

[00:18:28] And you say some person makes beans.

[00:18:30] Some person's making breakfast.

[00:18:32] And you can barter and trade.

[00:18:33] And it seems as if everything's equal.

[00:18:36] So everyone will take care of each other.

[00:18:39] Because that's the one point where you can go.

[00:18:41] Where race, religion, creed, nothing of that matters.

[00:18:45] Because there's truly one thing that people don't realize the most important thing is you're in the middle of the desert.

[00:18:51] It's hot.

[00:18:53] And survival really is your number one aspect.

[00:18:56] And you can find that people don't really, really.

[00:18:59] It doesn't matter what color you are when it's cold outside.

[00:19:02] It doesn't matter what your religion is when you're hungry.

[00:19:06] And when you go there, the first is the spiritual quality.

[00:19:11] Right?

[00:19:11] Yes.

[00:19:12] It brings equality.

[00:19:13] But the first thing is the spiritual way of finding who you are in yourself.

[00:19:16] is you'll test yourself in ways you haven't before through multiple different facets.

[00:19:22] But the key part is, is at the end of it, when you leave, you feel fulfilled for the fact is, you know what?

[00:19:28] You just showed yourself.

[00:19:30] You can go somewhere, have a great time, and not destroy something.

[00:19:35] Even though there's a giant thing that's on fire at the end of it.

[00:19:38] Right.

[00:19:39] Burning the bad things out of you, maybe.

[00:19:41] Yes.

[00:19:42] But the beautiful thing is that there is when you leave.

[00:19:45] No one ever knows it happened.

[00:19:48] So every, it's kind of just a chapter.

[00:19:49] No litter.

[00:19:50] No, no, no, nothing left behind.

[00:19:52] And I, I, it's a chapter in your life that, you know, you can finally close the book and turn the next page.

[00:19:58] Go to the next thing and start anew.

[00:20:00] And someone, everyone needs a reset.

[00:20:04] And we do.

[00:20:05] We need to be happy.

[00:20:06] That's what my podcast is about.

[00:20:08] And I'm sure that people look forward to it all year.

[00:20:10] Is there like a little Bible that says these are the rules?

[00:20:13] Or it's just inherent by the people that you meet.

[00:20:15] They say, you don't do this.

[00:20:16] You don't do that.

[00:20:17] And they'll, I mean, you usually get almost like a, like a shaman or a mentor.

[00:20:22] Someone that, you know, has been there before and shows you the ropes.

[00:20:26] But they do have a kind of, they do have your basic Burning Man guide.

[00:20:30] Which will, you know, almost, almost just like a thousand, I steal, you know, destroy.

[00:20:36] Things of that nature.

[00:20:37] But the key thing is, is you go there for the idea that you're going to a place where everyone's going to be on the same page.

[00:20:46] Right.

[00:20:46] And, well, if they're taking different drugs, it's not quite the same page.

[00:20:49] Oh, they can be, they can be in a different universe.

[00:20:51] They're still on the same page of going towards happiness.

[00:20:53] A lot of people think, believe in aliens, which we're going to talk about in a minute.

[00:20:56] But the drugs are, you know, obviously a big part of it.

[00:20:59] I mean, right?

[00:21:00] They are.

[00:21:03] And, and everything in moderation, everybody.

[00:21:06] I don't have anything against drugs or alcohol.

[00:21:08] Moderation.

[00:21:09] Sex, drugs, rock and roll.

[00:21:10] Everything in moderation.

[00:21:11] One of the things I can say about the drugs, though, there is you're not alone.

[00:21:16] You're not, and when I say not alone, it's in doing the drugs.

[00:21:19] But you have someone there where, if you're having a bad time on it.

[00:21:23] If you can't, say you take mushrooms or acid or whatever it is.

[00:21:27] If you're having a bad time, you have someone there that gives you a positive environment.

[00:21:31] And just like anything you do, from drinking to drugs or anything, your environment will

[00:21:36] affect about 90% of the outcome of your experience.

[00:21:40] There's no reason to doing a whole bunch of drugs if you're depressed and sitting in a

[00:21:44] room by yourself.

[00:21:45] You know, so if you take the opposite side of that, you kind of have Burning Man.

[00:21:49] You have a happy environment.

[00:21:50] You have lights.

[00:21:51] You have people that want to bring you to other things.

[00:21:55] And then you'll never find more passion in people and what they do.

[00:22:00] Some people are a yoga person and people live for this year around.

[00:22:04] Yeah.

[00:22:04] They build these incredible art cars.

[00:22:07] Yeah.

[00:22:08] I mean, amazing stuff.

[00:22:09] Is there a website?

[00:22:10] BurningMan.com, maybe?

[00:22:12] There probably is now.

[00:22:13] They've turned it into more of a commercialized thing nowadays.

[00:22:17] 40,000 people or something?

[00:22:19] 50,000 people.

[00:22:20] 50,000.

[00:22:21] Bigger than the city I live in in Wisconsin.

[00:22:24] Wow.

[00:22:24] That's a lot of people.

[00:22:26] And so you would, you know, obviously visit and meet new people, obviously.

[00:22:30] I mean, that's what you're there for, to associate with other like-minded, positive,

[00:22:35] because it's a positive environment, obviously.

[00:22:38] It's, and one of the things I kind of, I really opened my eyes is the person that brought me

[00:22:43] there.

[00:22:44] He's a lighting design person in the studios in Hollywood.

[00:22:48] He makes half a million dollars a year, yet the people he travels there with, some of

[00:22:55] them may be vagabonds and vagrants.

[00:22:56] Some of them may be a Taco Bell worker that barely gets by, but when they get there, they're

[00:23:02] one group.

[00:23:03] Right.

[00:23:03] And it's, it's an amazing thing when you take money out of the equation and you see actually

[00:23:09] how human kindness and actually interacts with people and it's not a competition.

[00:23:55] Well, people think you need money to be happy.

[00:23:57] That's a very big, bad fallacy.

[00:23:59] You know, I've traveled the world and they have some of the happiest people or some of

[00:24:03] the poorest, you know, unless that poor person is thinking, I need a yacht, I need a yacht

[00:24:07] and it's miserable that he doesn't have a yacht.

[00:24:08] You know, it's a little ridiculous.

[00:24:09] But most people are just, you know, if you have a shelter, you're probably, you know, better

[00:24:14] than half the planet.

[00:24:15] If you have food in your belly, you're probably better than, you know, 70%.

[00:24:18] I mean, it's, there's a lot of sad things going on, but I'm trying to, you know, in my kindness

[00:24:25] revolution is show people how to be happy, you know?

[00:24:29] And that's probably one of the most important things is.

[00:24:32] Oh, I didn't ask.

[00:24:33] I got to stop you for a second.

[00:24:34] My first question to my, my guests is how do you define happiness?

[00:24:41] Happiness is being able to, from the moment you wake up, the time you go to sleep, wake

[00:24:46] up and not worry about the outcome of anything and know that no matter what, we're a small

[00:24:56] part in a big puzzle and the universe will, no matter what it reciprocates.

[00:25:02] There's an energy.

[00:25:03] Whatever you throw bounces back.

[00:25:05] So if you're happy, you're kind, you have positive energy, it reverberates back to you.

[00:25:10] Yeah.

[00:25:11] And if you can keep that simple mindset, which most people can't, cause it's hard.

[00:25:16] We all have, we all have a bad morning, wake up on the wrong side of the bed, but you

[00:25:20] know, they always say this, if I gave you a million dollars that you were going to die

[00:25:26] tomorrow, would you take it?

[00:25:28] Well, people say no.

[00:25:29] So why don't you wake up every morning and it's a gift?

[00:25:34] That simple thing right there should show you that, you know what money doesn't make happiness.

[00:25:39] Material things don't make happiness.

[00:25:42] And the simple things that you may take for granted is what other people loan for, for happiness.

[00:25:49] You walk.

[00:25:50] Some people are paraplegics, cripples.

[00:25:52] The small things like that.

[00:25:54] My story of how I became envious of somebody who had happiness when I was younger was a

[00:26:00] real simple thing.

[00:26:01] I did sales.

[00:26:02] I've done sales my whole life.

[00:26:04] And I'll never forget.

[00:26:06] I was talking to actually the janitor of one of the, I worked for a big corporation, making

[00:26:12] a lot of money.

[00:26:13] And he'd say, you're working late hours every night.

[00:26:16] You know, you should have everything.

[00:26:18] And I see you.

[00:26:19] You're not, you don't seem to be happy.

[00:26:21] And I look at him and I say, you have a smile on your face and you do a job, which I feel

[00:26:27] is beneath you, but it's a needed job.

[00:26:29] He's a janitor.

[00:26:30] And he's like, he's like, Mark, you don't understand.

[00:26:33] I have five children.

[00:26:35] I have two jobs.

[00:26:38] I work as a fast food person during the day at night.

[00:26:42] I'm a janitor and I wake up every morning with a smile.

[00:26:45] I kiss my wife when I leave.

[00:26:47] And when I get home, I hug my kids and I'm able to go ahead and have dinner, spend time

[00:26:53] with my family, go to sleep.

[00:26:55] And I'm looking at myself going, man, this guy's working 16 hours pretty much a day.

[00:27:00] He has no freedom and he has a more positive outlook and is happier in life.

[00:27:06] And I can drive any car I want.

[00:27:08] I can go on vacation wherever I want.

[00:27:10] And I'm still miserable trying to figure out what I want in life.

[00:27:15] And this guy has it.

[00:27:17] Well, love.

[00:27:19] It's love, but you know what?

[00:27:20] He learned to love himself and his situation.

[00:27:22] You come first.

[00:27:23] You have to love yourself.

[00:27:24] How do you expect someone to love you if you don't love yourself?

[00:27:27] That's why the first commitment, the hardest, most important commitment in life is to be

[00:27:32] kind to yourself, to love yourself, to accept you as you are, to think positive, to eat healthy,

[00:27:36] to not take too many drugs or too much alcohol.

[00:27:39] I mean, I go on for hours on how to be kind to yourself, but you come first.

[00:27:43] You've been on an airplane.

[00:27:44] They say if the oxygen mass drops, put it on first and help others.

[00:27:48] Mark comes first.

[00:27:49] And the simple thing is when someone says love yourself, that sounds shallow.

[00:27:54] That sounds certain things.

[00:27:55] But the truth is this.

[00:27:57] You can never find someone else to make you happy if you're not happy with yourself.

[00:28:03] Right.

[00:28:03] If not, you're the selfish one because you know what?

[00:28:06] You need to – if you have two people, they should make – it should make something stronger as a team.

[00:28:13] One shouldn't have to lean on the other for happiness.

[00:28:15] There's no I in team.

[00:28:17] Yeah, no head.

[00:28:17] And you can have – and with anything, it can be an 80-20 in some points of who's carrying the weight and who's not.

[00:28:23] But at the same time is the team only has to carry 50% each.

[00:28:27] One might have to carry more sometimes than the other.

[00:28:30] But if you're looking at that other person for your happiness or for what you want,

[00:28:35] you'll never come together and be able to be a pair.

[00:28:38] Well put.

[00:28:39] Very well put.

[00:28:40] Okay, let's change subjects a little bit.

[00:28:42] Let's go back to the origin of man.

[00:28:47] I mean, we're learning that we really maybe probably didn't come from apes because it was – there's no bridge in it, I guess, right?

[00:28:55] There's no evolutionary bridge.

[00:28:58] But there's supposedly – and I watch a lot of alien stuff.

[00:29:02] I believe in aliens.

[00:29:02] I think they've been here when dinosaurs were here because if you understand infinity, there's been infinite life forms, not 10 or 20, but infinite.

[00:29:12] And we're living in a small – what, 200 years really of civilization so far?

[00:29:17] And that's just a small speck of time in the eons of time that have gone and are still to come.

[00:29:24] So you know something about the – I guess it was the Inanaki or –

[00:29:29] Well, the Inanaki from, let's say, the Sumerian tablets going back and looking at things and the level of history.

[00:29:38] One thing we've learned about history is whoever wins the war writes to history.

[00:29:43] So when you look at an aspect of that, we're all conditioned to learn about what has been – we've been taught or indoctrinated, you know what I'm saying, in schools and certain things.

[00:29:54] But the regular textbooks that are being thrown out.

[00:29:58] But the text that we've been taught, we're all selected for a purpose.

[00:30:03] Listen, there are so many things that are missing.

[00:30:06] Nowhere in high school or anything will we ever talk to hear about, say, the Inanaki, which is – which they say is a race or a superior being from another planet, you could say.

[00:30:17] And they came here and they were using, say, humans to mine resources.

[00:30:23] One thing that the theory was is there's Nibiru, which is a planet which they came from.

[00:30:27] And they needed to create an atmosphere of – and they needed gold to create around it to stop, say, the sun, their sun from penetrating in.

[00:30:36] Our planet happens to be rich in gold.

[00:30:39] Yet they needed people to mine it.

[00:30:41] What did they turn around and do?

[00:30:43] They were going to have – they had their own people doing it first, but they basically came to the conclusion of we need to find a more efficient way.

[00:30:51] So, if you look at it as in they took a part of them and – part of a creature from the planet and they created a human.

[00:31:03] And with that, they basically were able to start mining gold.

[00:31:07] And what happens with that – what happens when you overwork somebody and they don't feel equal, you know, you start to get rebellions.

[00:31:15] So, one of the – and you're not – he – well, Ra, that's why when you say, you know, Amen, his name is Amon Ra, you're basically – he pronounced himself as a god.

[00:31:27] And what that was basically saying is he wants everyone to worship him, work, and do what his bidding was.

[00:31:32] Doc, brother.

[00:31:35] Doc, out of wisdom.

[00:31:37] He said, no, these people are sons to us.

[00:31:41] These people are part of us.

[00:31:42] And he won – so a big war happened.

[00:31:46] And basically from there, obviously we can tell that humanity survived, so we kind of can know who won the war.

[00:31:53] But however, but all the technology that happened in there was pretty much lost, as in one group left.

[00:32:01] And the ones that stayed, basically, they took us – they gave us the technology within everything we have on this planet.

[00:32:09] They gave us the book.

[00:32:11] They gave us everything we needed to know, the key to do it.

[00:32:14] They just left it up to us to put the pieces together.

[00:32:18] Now, over time, one of the biggest things that happens is as the world shifts and moves, we've lost touch with truths.

[00:32:29] And what I mean by that is if we say that our civilization goes back 3,000 years.

[00:32:37] Now, we know for a fact that when we can do carbon dating and look at things and we find ruins and pyramids and things like that that are 7,000 years old.

[00:32:47] They found a hammer inside a rock that was carbon dated at 500,000 years old.

[00:32:52] And that means –

[00:32:54] And when we take a picture – when you take a snapshot in time of 500,000 years, for us, that's not even fathomable.

[00:33:02] Our brains really contemplate of humans.

[00:33:05] Our existence, we feel, hasn't been there.

[00:33:08] But in the time of Mother Earth, our Earth, why you want to take care of it, it's been around forever.

[00:33:15] And the Earth regenerates itself.

[00:33:20] So, when you look at things on a bigger picture of that level, there could have been several civilizations here, lost civilizations before our time.

[00:33:28] And they could have the ruins.

[00:33:30] There's actually physical evidence on cave walls and Egyptian tombs and things of past civilizations, past technologies.

[00:33:39] And the ocean.

[00:33:40] The ocean used to be land.

[00:33:42] So, if you take a look at that, that means there's a whole lot of uncharted things that we really haven't gotten to.

[00:33:50] And that will be our difference in saying – the first question is, well, if there's aliens here, why haven't they talked to us?

[00:33:56] Right.

[00:33:57] Well, when you walk down the street and you see a bug, do you stop and try to talk to that bug?

[00:34:04] No.

[00:34:05] And the other picture, that's how you got to look at –

[00:34:07] If them looking at us, we're so primitive, it's ridiculous.

[00:34:10] If aliens are here and they have the ability, we'll just say space travel.

[00:34:14] Right.

[00:34:15] And you took a snapshot of it and you're an alien.

[00:34:18] We're aliens and we're in a little spaceship and we're looking at Earth.

[00:34:21] And we're like, all right, well, these creatures right here seem to be human.

[00:34:25] They seem to be the most evolved species on this Earth.

[00:34:28] Yet, they fight amongst each other for no reason.

[00:34:31] 32 wars.

[00:34:32] They turn around from there.

[00:34:34] They kill each other for land.

[00:34:36] Greed.

[00:34:36] Any greed, greed?

[00:34:37] The best part.

[00:34:38] And they say they're the dominant species on the planet.

[00:34:41] Robin, how's that coffee coming?

[00:34:43] My executive system is bringing my coffee, man.

[00:34:45] He had his pizza for breakfast.

[00:34:47] Very, very healthy, by the way.

[00:34:49] And he's having Red Bull to chase down the pizza.

[00:34:52] That's how they do it in –

[00:34:54] Breakfast of Champions.

[00:34:56] Breakfast in the country.

[00:34:57] We're in the country, right?

[00:34:58] This is the country.

[00:34:59] That's country breakfast.

[00:35:00] Missouri.

[00:35:00] We're in country, baby.

[00:35:02] Only state named after an emotion.

[00:35:04] Oh, misery.

[00:35:05] Actually, my son's played professional tennis.

[00:35:07] And it's so hot in Missouri that every day someone would go to the hospital in the tournament

[00:35:12] because it's very physical.

[00:35:14] And so they go, oh, we're going to have to play Missouri now.

[00:35:16] Misery now.

[00:35:17] But if you think about it, if we were to say two aliens looking down at this planet and say,

[00:35:21] if this is the dominant Earth that mostly evolves, be something,

[00:35:24] and they fight over land, yet there's only –

[00:35:27] 20% of the planet is land.

[00:35:30] 80% of it's water.

[00:35:31] They fight over everything.

[00:35:32] Women.

[00:35:33] They fight over their drugs.

[00:35:35] That's why –

[00:35:35] That's my drug.

[00:35:36] I mean, wouldn't you look at them and they figure out how to make nuclear things to destroy the planet?

[00:35:43] A thousand times over we have nuclear capacity to destroy the planet?

[00:35:48] But we haven't figured out –

[00:35:49] MAD, mutual destruction.

[00:35:50] But we haven't figured out the most basic thing is how to get off the planet.

[00:35:55] Well, Musk and Elon and Jeff are getting us off.

[00:36:00] They're trying to save the planet by getting us off the planet.

[00:36:03] I'm trying to save the planet by spreading kindness.

[00:36:05] So there's three of us trying to save the –

[00:36:07] And just as you said before, if you saw a bug, would you talk to it?

[00:36:10] No.

[00:36:11] No.

[00:36:11] So if you look at us as –

[00:36:12] Plus, aliens don't speak English or French or Swahili or German.

[00:36:17] They use telepathy.

[00:36:18] And I believe that the future of mankind won't use words because they're very archaic.

[00:36:23] If you use a word that I –

[00:36:24] I'm going to say a word that our audience doesn't understand.

[00:36:27] That's pretty stupid, right?

[00:36:28] So telepathy, I believe, is the communication of the future.

[00:36:32] Well, I mean, and we all –

[00:36:34] Here's one thing to say.

[00:36:36] And people will say telepathy.

[00:36:38] That's X-Men stuff.

[00:36:39] That's comic books.

[00:36:40] No.

[00:36:41] Were you married before?

[00:36:42] Yes.

[00:36:43] Girlfriend or whatever.

[00:36:44] I even have a dog.

[00:36:45] I used to walk in, and I knew by the look on my dog's face –

[00:36:49] That's telepathy.

[00:36:49] Give me a feeling that she got into the trash.

[00:36:52] It's my fault for leaving the trash out.

[00:36:54] I should have put it on the counter, right?

[00:36:56] Because she was a little Toriorky.

[00:36:57] But she looked at me, and I could tell she got into shit.

[00:37:01] And when I say –

[00:37:02] Telepathy.

[00:37:02] And people think, like, that's comic books.

[00:37:04] But let me ask you things.

[00:37:05] If we only use less than 10% of our brain –

[00:37:09] Less.

[00:37:10] Or less.

[00:37:10] Then what happens if we're able to –

[00:37:13] Is she moving Lucy?

[00:37:14] Oh, yeah.

[00:37:15] That's great.

[00:37:16] But we're not far from that.

[00:37:18] No.

[00:37:19] Well, they're going to have the robot.

[00:37:20] $35,000 is like buying a car.

[00:37:22] And he or she will be your assistant, be your scheduler, be your mentor, be your educator, psychologist.

[00:37:30] And at one point you're a lover, and then you're a wife.

[00:37:32] If you love her, clean your house, don't complain, and then take a break.

[00:37:39] I mean, if I could have robot babies, that would be awesome.

[00:37:41] Robot babies.

[00:37:42] Think about that.

[00:37:44] I would like to be frozen for 100 years because I want to see what's going to – what the shit's going to be happening in 100 years.

[00:37:50] The Walt Disney thing where he cryogenically froze himself.

[00:37:54] It was in the 60s.

[00:37:56] And they had the robots, the robot maid, right?

[00:37:58] They had the flying car.

[00:38:00] Rosie.

[00:38:01] See, everybody knows Rosie from the Jetsons.

[00:38:03] Young people don't have any clue what the Jetsons is, but, I mean, it's a revolutionary concept.

[00:38:08] I mean, Da Vinci, he was – he did the helicopter and all kinds of different things way back when.

[00:38:15] But let's talk a minute about – in 41 was the first – what was the capture of UFO?

[00:38:22] 47 was Roswell.

[00:38:25] And we've been reverse engineering.

[00:38:27] That's where we get the laser.

[00:38:28] That's where we get the transistor.

[00:38:31] And you can expand on that.

[00:38:32] More importantly, not just those two things.

[00:38:34] We got the microchip, the microprocessor.

[00:38:38] The simplest thing is this.

[00:38:40] I mean, literally, if you look from, say, 1200 BC up until that point, we look like the Flintstones.

[00:38:48] Right.

[00:38:49] And you go from that point to now, we look like the Jetsons.

[00:38:53] Exactly.

[00:38:54] And that's short of time.

[00:38:56] That's not evolution.

[00:38:57] That's not evolution.

[00:38:58] From what you remember, the first computer was the size of a house.

[00:39:03] House.

[00:39:04] The vacuum tubes and everything.

[00:39:06] Now, I have something that is more powerful than our first satellite we sent out to space in my hand.

[00:39:12] Yeah.

[00:39:13] And you can think of something like that.

[00:39:14] And that's in, what, 40 years?

[00:39:16] Yeah.

[00:39:16] 50 years?

[00:39:17] Well, 77 is when Voyager went on its journey.

[00:39:21] There's two of them, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2.

[00:39:23] And they're still sending back images from out of our solar system.

[00:39:27] They're actually out of our solar system now.

[00:39:30] And still sending back.

[00:39:30] And it's less technology.

[00:39:33] It's a VCR, basically, out there, sending back images of our universe.

[00:39:39] It's amazing.

[00:39:39] When we look at technology, my first thing I say is...

[00:39:42] But we're still stupid.

[00:39:43] I call it the insanity of humanity.

[00:39:45] We still have the wars, the violence, the poverty, the corporate greed, all the horrible things man's doing to itself.

[00:39:52] You know?

[00:39:52] And you know what an EME is, of course, or CME.

[00:39:55] Corona mass ejection.

[00:39:56] We had one in the 1800s.

[00:39:58] Destroyed all the electrical on the planet.

[00:40:00] So if it happens again, obviously you know what the results of that are going to be.

[00:40:04] Destruction of all electricity.

[00:40:06] You know, refrigeration.

[00:40:07] Everything.

[00:40:07] Communication.

[00:40:09] We could protect our future by investing and protecting the grid from a CME.

[00:40:15] Yeah.

[00:40:15] Right?

[00:40:16] But it's not profitable.

[00:40:17] And it would cost trillions of dollars.

[00:40:18] But that would be the future of mankind.

[00:40:20] So imagine if we could have a crystal ball and we looked at the future and said,

[00:40:23] In 32 years, we're going to have another CME.

[00:40:25] We want to have it in 2012.

[00:40:26] We miss it by 10 days.

[00:40:29] And then they would say, well, because nobody knows about the future.

[00:40:32] But they would invest the trillions of dollars to save mankind.

[00:40:35] Yeah.

[00:40:36] What's a couple trillion dollars?

[00:40:37] Well, I mean, when we look at it as a whole, our society and our world has our greatest strengths,

[00:40:46] our greatest weakness, which is our ability to build, to create, to invent.

[00:40:51] The problem is we do it towards destruction, profit, and greed.

[00:40:58] Greed.

[00:40:59] None of the, for example, what I was like.

[00:41:02] First word in the world.

[00:41:03] Let's look at a scientist here, the one who created the vaccine for polio.

[00:41:08] He decided that he didn't want to sell it.

[00:41:09] He gave it away.

[00:41:10] Saved billions of people at this point now.

[00:41:13] But died a poor old man.

[00:41:15] But happy, hopefully.

[00:41:17] Maybe.

[00:41:18] Hopefully, but at the same time.

[00:41:19] Not us as open source.

[00:41:21] You know what I mean?

[00:41:21] I love the fact that open source is fantastic.

[00:41:23] People are taking my word fantastic, you know, my old brand and running with it.

[00:41:29] That's fantastic.

[00:41:30] Steal it from me.

[00:41:31] Steal them.

[00:41:32] It would be fantastic philosophy, the three commitments, please.

[00:41:35] And it's the one thing that we always look to do is if we can simply learn to create things and work as a team.

[00:41:45] Just circle back.

[00:41:47] If aliens look down at us and they saw, what do they see?

[00:41:51] They see a human race.

[00:41:53] Could you imagine if we took all the money that we do and we put into war, that we put into weaponization of things, and as a world, as a whole, of humanity.

[00:42:05] Thank you.

[00:42:06] Turn around from there and put that into exploration.

[00:42:09] I gave one of my friends because she was over.

[00:42:11] I just had my first cup of coffee in the morning, and it's one of my fantastic cups.

[00:42:15] It's fantastic.

[00:42:17] Mine broke.

[00:42:18] I don't even have one.

[00:42:20] I gave my other one to my friend because she wanted it.

[00:42:25] Giving is better than getting.

[00:42:27] Give and get.

[00:42:28] I don't like to give.

[00:42:30] My host, Robin, and her husband, Mike, are the fantastic human beings.

[00:42:34] He's some of the kindest people I've ever met.

[00:42:37] I mean, is Mike the kindest guy you've ever met in your life?

[00:42:42] He's kind to a fault.

[00:42:44] But at the same time, I will say this.

[00:42:49] Mike is my quintessential example of kindness leads to karma.

[00:42:54] And the simple fact is that you know what?

[00:42:57] The man's been through hell and back.

[00:42:59] But he's always looked out for others, even when he wasn't in the best situation.

[00:43:04] Right.

[00:43:05] So to see the karma of everything in his life come full circle, and now there's actually – it kind of makes you believe that, you know, if you do enough good in this world, that good will just naturally come back to you.

[00:43:17] Yeah, it is karma.

[00:43:19] I call kindness leads to happiness.

[00:43:21] The kinder someone is.

[00:43:23] Probably like the Dalai Lama and these people that are – you know, Mother Teresa is super, super, super kind.

[00:43:28] Maybe the Pope.

[00:43:28] I don't know.

[00:43:29] They're a little greedy, I think.

[00:43:31] Let's not go that way.

[00:43:34] But I've proved – I've got 2,100 videos on my YouTube channel showing that just me going around the world being kind led to the most amazing situations.

[00:43:43] I mean, and it's still going on.

[00:43:45] I mean, Mike's being kind to invite me here and help me out with starting up the charity.

[00:43:51] Well, all you have is kindness and connections because when you think about it is we all die alone.

[00:43:56] We all die with no money, and we don't know what comes afterwards.

[00:44:02] I mean, that's a whole new subject within itself.

[00:44:04] But the one thing is this.

[00:44:06] You know what?

[00:44:07] There's no difference in a dead rich person, a dead poor person.

[00:44:11] Right.

[00:44:11] And the fulfillment they had in life is the one thing that we'll never know because, you know what?

[00:44:17] Memories seem to fade over time.

[00:44:19] But you know what?

[00:44:20] If you can make a mark, most of the greatest things – how about this?

[00:44:25] The imprint left from the Dalai Lama or Mother Teresa is a name that's anonymous and everything will be there forever as opposed to who's our fourth king of England?

[00:44:35] No clue.

[00:44:36] Exactly.

[00:44:37] Well, a lot of people think I'm crazy to go around the world, spend the rest of my life on this mission to make it a kinder world.

[00:44:43] But I'm going to go with a guy named Steve Jobs.

[00:44:45] And if you've been following the show, everyone, you've heard me say this a thousand times, and I'll say it a thousand and one.

[00:44:51] Steve Jobs once said, people who are crazy enough to think that they can make a difference in the world are the ones that do.

[00:44:57] And the kindness revolution, it's rolling.

[00:45:02] Only 10,000 – what is it today?

[00:45:05] 126 from 144, 145 countries.

[00:45:08] It's a small, insignificant number.

[00:45:11] But the people in it, like you and John Paul DeGioria, who runs JP's Peace, Love, and Happiness Foundation, and the foundations I just talked about earlier.

[00:45:20] I looked at a bunch of happiness companies.

[00:45:24] A lot of people out there trying to promote happiness.

[00:45:27] But people look down on kind people.

[00:45:29] Why is that?

[00:45:30] Yes.

[00:45:31] People look down on kind people because, you know what, they're envious.

[00:45:37] People are envious of a kind person.

[00:45:39] I've always said this.

[00:45:40] If you don't have haters, you're not doing it right.

[00:45:43] And I always say the simplest thing is this.

[00:45:46] You know what, people are envious of someone happy because, you know what, they want to be that person.

[00:45:49] I don't care.

[00:45:51] Rich, poor, whatever you want to look at, any status, people want to be that happy person.

[00:45:57] So people look down on it.

[00:45:59] People frown upon it because they haven't figured out how to be it.

[00:46:03] And that's what their goal is.

[00:46:06] And that's what the goal of this show is, the complete guide to happiness.

[00:46:09] So what are the basic rules someone should follow?

[00:46:15] I mean, obviously, be kind to yourself, be kind to others, be kind to the planet.

[00:46:18] I've been expanding on that, in your opinion.

[00:46:21] In my opinion, you take your core values, which you have, yourself, others, the planet.

[00:46:28] That's the first step.

[00:46:29] The other thing to realize is nothing is insignificant for what you do.

[00:46:36] For example, you're here and you're reaching over 10,000 people with your followers alone on a daily basis.

[00:46:44] It's growing.

[00:46:45] Now, if you said, I only have two followers when you started, was that insignificant?

[00:46:50] No.

[00:46:50] No.

[00:46:51] If I help one person in all this, and I know it will help thousands, I've accomplished something.

[00:46:56] If you help one person.

[00:46:57] And the thing is this.

[00:46:58] Random acts of kindness.

[00:46:59] You can't get to 10,000 if you don't get to two.

[00:47:03] You can't get to three if you don't get to two.

[00:47:05] The burning of 1,000 miles begins with but a single step.

[00:47:07] Exactly.

[00:47:08] And that's the thing I can say is this.

[00:47:10] You're not going to find anything unless you're looking for it.

[00:47:15] And that's probably the biggest thing I would say to take away for most people is stop looking for what will make you happy.

[00:47:22] Don't ever give up on that.

[00:47:24] I mean, and one thing I've said is this.

[00:47:28] People always say is you're lucky that you know.

[00:47:31] For example, people will tell you you're lucky that you found happiness.

[00:47:35] You're lucky that you're able to do what you do.

[00:47:37] It is no.

[00:47:38] No luck in the wall at all.

[00:47:40] You make your luck.

[00:47:41] Luck is created.

[00:47:42] Right.

[00:47:42] Luck is intelligence equals opportunity.

[00:47:45] Because if you do not see the opportunity or you don't know what to do when it's there, it means nothing.

[00:47:51] Right.

[00:47:52] So let's always just keep your eyes open.

[00:47:54] That can be as simple as picking up a rock.

[00:47:56] And you know what?

[00:47:57] By you picking up that rock, you didn't realize that that rock was actually a valuable gem.

[00:48:03] And you know what?

[00:48:04] You gave that to somebody.

[00:48:05] And they turned around and realized that their father was a jeweler.

[00:48:10] And they turned around and it turns into something great.

[00:48:13] Speaking of that, in Guatemala City, one of my billionaire ambassadors showed me $100 million ruby.

[00:48:24] If I'd seen it on the street, I'd kick it.

[00:48:26] Yeah.

[00:48:27] I mean, to know I held a $100 million piece of rock.

[00:48:30] It was a good size ruby.

[00:48:32] But, you know, the more you know, the easier your life is and the more valuable you are to others.

[00:48:39] To be able to recognize a rough ruby on the street would be great to pick it up and cash in on $100 million.

[00:48:44] Right?

[00:48:45] And remember, the one thing, too, is happiness and everything else is how you view it and you see it and how you feel it.

[00:48:50] And it's simply, it's in here.

[00:48:53] And that's the most important thing is I can think of, you can think of people that have 10 times more who are miserable and you can think of 10 times less.

[00:49:01] And manifestation works.

[00:49:03] That's why I have what's called the kindness challenge.

[00:49:06] Say, I am fantastic three times a day out loud with passion for the next 30 days.

[00:49:11] It's guaranteed 100% that will manifest into some cool shit.

[00:49:17] And I would say this.

[00:49:17] Don't even say it.

[00:49:19] Do something even greater with it.

[00:49:20] Take it.

[00:49:24] Write it down.

[00:49:25] Write, I am fantastic.

[00:49:26] And write three reasons why.

[00:49:28] Every single day.

[00:49:30] Okay.

[00:49:30] And you'll start seeing something really that starts going into your mind.

[00:49:34] That's why we took notes in high school.

[00:49:36] That's why we take notes.

[00:49:37] Your shorthand.

[00:49:39] The visual.

[00:49:40] It triggers things for your subconscious to come out and say, okay.

[00:49:45] And when you start doing that, you're conditioning your mind to truly believing it.

[00:49:48] Right.

[00:49:48] And the minute that you believe it, we know this.

[00:49:50] The power of belief is greater than almost anything.

[00:49:53] Yeah.

[00:49:53] So if you believe it, you'll start striving for it.

[00:49:57] I always say conceive, then believe, then achieve.

[00:50:01] Yep.

[00:50:02] The three steps to doing something.

[00:50:04] Now, I always say the secret to happiness is to find something that you really love to do.

[00:50:08] Mm-hmm.

[00:50:09] Because if you find something that makes you jump out of bed in the morning, you're going

[00:50:12] to look forward to your day.

[00:50:13] You're going to have fun doing it.

[00:50:14] And you're going to do it well because you're having fun.

[00:50:16] The easiest thing to do is something that you're having fun with.

[00:50:19] And if you do something well, someone's going to pay you for it.

[00:50:22] But people jump out of bed or crawl out of bed because they have to make money.

[00:50:25] So there's three types.

[00:50:26] There's 5% of people that jump out of bed.

[00:50:29] And they're blessed.

[00:50:30] That's fantastic.

[00:50:31] 90% crawl out because they got to do what they got to do to make the money to support

[00:50:37] the family or support their habits.

[00:50:40] And then there's 5% that say, screw it.

[00:50:42] I'm not getting out of bed.

[00:50:43] Right?

[00:50:43] And I'll say this is nothing happens overnight and everything will take a little bit of condition.

[00:50:52] But you can condition yourself.

[00:50:54] We'll use the example of getting out of bed.

[00:50:56] You can condition yourself to get out of bed in a positive manner.

[00:51:00] For the way I look at it is that there's two triggers in your body that are pushes and pulls.

[00:51:04] Pulls.

[00:51:04] One would be, say, a pull.

[00:51:07] Would be, I have to get out of bed because I have to go to work.

[00:51:10] Which means that if it's raining outside, I'm not getting up.

[00:51:14] Or if I have a day off, I'm not going.

[00:51:17] Now, then you have things called pulls.

[00:51:20] Such as, I have to get up to go to work because my child needs to eat.

[00:51:28] But your kid doesn't know anything other than that.

[00:51:32] They're dependent on you.

[00:51:33] So, what the difference is, is I'll tell you this.

[00:51:36] Rain, storm, anything else.

[00:51:37] You're getting out of bed.

[00:51:38] You're going to work.

[00:51:39] Your kid's eating.

[00:51:41] And what it's doing is you can do it in the simple ways.

[00:51:45] I'm going to run.

[00:51:46] I'm going to get up.

[00:51:47] I'm going to run a mile because I'm going to live longer before I can watch my kids grow up.

[00:51:52] Whatever it may be.

[00:51:53] But you can condition your body to pull yourself up every single day.

[00:51:59] And you can do the same thing to be happy.

[00:52:01] And it's a simple, because people wake up with a miserable mindset.

[00:52:05] Well, it's easier to be a failure and miserable than it is to be happy and success.

[00:52:09] Because people, when you're successful, you can fall down.

[00:52:12] And people are afraid of failing and they have fear.

[00:52:15] Fear is false expectations appearing real.

[00:52:18] And fail is first attempt at learning.

[00:52:20] So I have never had any fear of failure.

[00:52:22] And I'm still doing things.

[00:52:24] I did a TV show in Belize.

[00:52:27] And my girlfriend said, are you afraid it's going to fail?

[00:52:29] I said, no.

[00:52:30] If it fails, it's no big deal.

[00:52:33] I'm doing things for fun.

[00:52:34] And your mindset on that is what they say, too, is there's what do they say?

[00:52:38] There is a there's a dirt road to happiness.

[00:52:41] And there's a highway to being miserable.

[00:52:44] Highway to hell.

[00:52:45] And if you think about that, and yes, the highway goes faster, it's easier, and it's quicker.

[00:52:53] But if you've ever taken off the beaten path and gone on that dirt road, you're going to find the journey was worth it.

[00:53:00] Nothing easy is worth it.

[00:53:02] And nothing worth it is easy.

[00:53:04] Well put.

[00:53:05] For sure.

[00:53:06] Once you achieve it, you can't go back.

[00:53:08] Yeah.

[00:53:09] And we all have our own paths.

[00:53:11] You know, I always tell people, believe in your path.

[00:53:14] Who else is going to believe in it?

[00:53:15] You've got to believe in it.

[00:53:16] And if you give up, you're a loser.

[00:53:19] Losers never quit and quitters never win.

[00:53:23] And it comes down to this is people have the misconception of failure.

[00:53:28] Failure is not just trying something and not succeeding.

[00:53:32] Failure is when you try something, you don't succeed and you give up.

[00:53:36] Yeah.

[00:53:37] I mean, the whole thing is, you know what?

[00:53:39] If you don't succeed, there's a beautiful thing.

[00:53:41] That's a life lesson.

[00:53:42] That's, you know what?

[00:53:43] That means you have the ability to learn from what you've just been through and they become better.

[00:53:48] Or the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.

[00:53:54] But, you know, you've got to experience life.

[00:53:56] I mean, I see I travel a lot in five years and I meet a lot of travelers and I still respect someone traveling alone.

[00:54:03] It's always better to travel alone because you're reaching out and you're meeting new people.

[00:54:07] But these young people that are traveling, I just have so much respect for them because they're courageous enough not to have the fear that everything's going to go wrong.

[00:54:15] You know, it's manifestation.

[00:54:16] If you think you're going to miss the train, if you think she's not going to call you, if you think all these negative things, typically, you know, manifest it.

[00:54:23] Hi, of course.

[00:54:24] Of all the places you've traveled to, where would you say one of the places you've been to you found the most happiness or peace that you're at?

[00:54:33] Well, the poorest people.

[00:54:35] There's a place called Sohok in Egypt, Upper Egypt, and no tourists ever go there.

[00:54:42] No Egyptians go there because they're so poor.

[00:54:45] But I went there because my friend, my assistant had a death and he couldn't afford, so we took the train and I paid his way there.

[00:54:54] It was an amazing experience.

[00:54:55] The people are the kindest, the poorest, as you can imagine.

[00:54:59] They open up their homes for you.

[00:55:00] And this one gentleman I had to counsel, he had a big house, two-story house, kids, lots of land, well-respected in the community, in his village, so on.

[00:55:13] And he was not happy.

[00:55:15] He wanted more.

[00:55:16] I said, you have a wife that loves you.

[00:55:17] You have beautiful kids.

[00:55:19] You've got property, respect from the community.

[00:55:21] You have a meal.

[00:55:22] It was a fantastic meal we had.

[00:55:24] And as we were talking and walking, there was a family cemetery on the land.

[00:55:29] And I said, you're better off than them.

[00:55:32] They're all six feet under.

[00:55:33] So it's how you look at it and how you perceive it.

[00:55:36] It's all about perception, you know, the matrix or whatever, what's going on in the world.

[00:55:40] And so hopefully I'm able to open up people's eyes and see what they do have.

[00:55:45] They have a home.

[00:55:46] You know, I mean, to have a roof over your head and put it in your belly is, you're better off than, what, 80% of the world or something?

[00:55:53] Ridiculous in number?

[00:55:54] I don't know.

[00:55:55] A lot.

[00:55:56] And you know what?

[00:55:57] A lot of poor people out there.

[00:55:58] I'd ask you, would you visit it again?

[00:56:01] Would you go back there?

[00:56:02] Well, I always do things once.

[00:56:04] But no, probably not.

[00:56:09] Well, first off, it's supposedly, I didn't know at the time.

[00:56:12] And I didn't know why they gave me an armed guard at the time, because I always go and meet with the, in any village or city, I go try to meet the mayor or the president of the country if I can.

[00:56:22] And they gave me an armed guard.

[00:56:24] So there was this guy following me everywhere it went, armed.

[00:56:27] And I'm like, this is funny.

[00:56:28] Why is this?

[00:56:29] And then when I finally got back, he said, because it's one of the most dangerous places in Egypt.

[00:56:33] I said, nobody thought it was dangerous.

[00:56:35] I just thought nobody went there because it was like a hole in the wall.

[00:56:38] Oh, actually, this is funny.

[00:56:40] I did a video and said, I'm in bumfuck Egypt.

[00:56:44] You're in bumfuck Egypt, right?

[00:56:45] I was in bumfuck Egypt.

[00:56:48] So, but, you know, the places I've been in are the poorest.

[00:56:51] You know, Sharmashik is an incredible resort.

[00:56:54] I lived there for a few years.

[00:56:55] And the people, the Egyptians are so kind.

[00:56:57] The Belizeans were kind.

[00:57:00] Guatemalans, I live where now, are also kind.

[00:57:02] But it's the poorer areas.

[00:57:04] You don't go find kindness in Chicago, LA, or New York.

[00:57:07] You're not going to find it.

[00:57:07] Well, you'll find some kindness.

[00:57:09] There's obviously kind people everywhere.

[00:57:10] But the majority of people are shoving you aside to get on the subway or the bus or get to that taxi.

[00:57:16] And they're wearing blinders.

[00:57:18] You sit next to someone eight hours on a plane and you don't talk to them.

[00:57:21] I mean, I call it the insanity of humanity, as you know.

[00:57:25] So, you know, together, you know, with a new ambassador and lots of fantastic ambassadors,

[00:57:31] we introduce kindness to other people.

[00:57:33] And we're just kind.

[00:57:35] You know, some people say, what's in it for me?

[00:57:37] The poor people.

[00:57:38] A lot of times will say that.

[00:57:39] Well, if you're kind, we just discussed it.

[00:57:42] You know, I mean, first off, if you follow three commitments, you're going to look better because it makes you smile to say fantastic.

[00:57:47] You're going to live longer because it reduces stress.

[00:57:49] You're going to be happier because, you know, kindness leads to happiness.

[00:57:54] And you're going to make the world a better place and clean up the environment because we're all going to be accountable for our actions.

[00:57:59] So that's not enough for being kind.

[00:58:03] I'm doing the wrong thing.

[00:58:04] And that's the thing is this is you hit right on the head.

[00:58:07] People ask what's in it for them.

[00:58:09] And you almost look at them and say, what's not?

[00:58:12] Yeah.

[00:58:12] Literally, what's not?

[00:58:13] The future of humanity.

[00:58:14] Let's call it that way.

[00:58:15] How about this?

[00:58:16] If I can get you to smile for one second, I can create you to be happy for that.

[00:58:22] That is one second happier than you were a minute ago.

[00:58:25] I walked next.

[00:58:26] I crossed paths in Antigua with the old folk on the street, of course.

[00:58:30] And they're very short people.

[00:58:31] But I always look in someone's eye and I always smile.

[00:58:35] And then typically they all say, que tengas un día fantástico, which is Spanish for have a fantastic day.

[00:58:41] Their face lights up.

[00:58:43] Their eyes go wide.

[00:58:44] And they go, igualamente, which is you two.

[00:58:46] And muchas gracias.

[00:58:48] I just made them so happy in that one second.

[00:58:51] So a second at a time happiness is we can only live a second at a time.

[00:58:55] That second, you know, the thing is you just made that.

[00:58:58] You could have made that person's day, that person's week, that person's year.

[00:59:01] Because they haven't heard a kind word in X amount of time.

[00:59:06] Right.

[00:59:06] So when you say what's in it for you is how about this?

[00:59:09] If you can do that to someone, that means someone can do it to you.

[00:59:13] Well, the second commitment, be kind.

[00:59:15] Treat people as you want to be treated.

[00:59:17] Be kind to all others.

[00:59:18] Try to love everybody.

[00:59:19] You know, it's tough to love someone evil, but just walk away.

[00:59:22] Like that fight you had.

[00:59:23] You just walk away.

[00:59:25] And you tell your girl, you're not a coward.

[00:59:27] You're smart.

[00:59:28] Because I don't want to.

[00:59:29] I want to support you.

[00:59:29] I want to love with you.

[00:59:30] I want to be with you.

[00:59:32] And I'm not going to be with you if I have to fight someone and go to jail because an accident happened.

[00:59:38] It's like, and I just can't stand fighting.

[00:59:41] Lying, stealing, cheating, fighting, arguing, bullying, teasing, all those things.

[00:59:45] Terrible.

[00:59:46] Terrible, right, Mike?

[00:59:48] Absolutely.

[00:59:49] Mike, we were talking about you.

[00:59:51] You're fantastic.

[00:59:52] Thank you.

[00:59:53] Thank you, sir.

[00:59:54] Working with the Fantastics.

[00:59:56] You are an investor.

[00:59:58] Mike is, I believe, what number?

[01:00:00] Do you remember your number?

[01:00:01] Investor number?

[01:00:03] He's number 70 in the fantastic revolution.

[01:00:08] He's only got 9,948 people ahead of me.

[01:00:14] Exactly.

[01:00:17] And it's a team.

[01:00:18] There's no I in team.

[01:00:19] And if everyone just introduces kindness or just, you don't even have to introduce.

[01:00:24] Don't go out of your way.

[01:00:25] Just be kind.

[01:00:26] That's the whole thing.

[01:00:27] People say, what are you doing?

[01:00:28] I'm just trying to be kind.

[01:00:30] It's not hard.

[01:00:32] Be yourself.

[01:00:32] Two words.

[01:00:33] Be kind.

[01:00:33] Changes the world.

[01:00:35] Saves the planet.

[01:00:36] You know, kindness, dropping a nuclear bomb is not very kind.

[01:00:40] Americans are the only ones to drop two, right?

[01:00:42] Yeah.

[01:00:43] On people.

[01:00:45] We dropped one and rebuilt them.

[01:00:47] Now we buy everything from them.

[01:00:48] It's an insane world.

[01:00:57] So you're such a knowledge.

[01:00:59] You're like asking Google.

[01:01:02] Tell me about this.

[01:01:03] Tell me.

[01:01:03] I'm trying to think what else we discussed last night.

[01:01:05] It was so much fun talking to you.

[01:01:06] I guess, you know, conspiracy theory.

[01:01:08] We can go into conspiracy theories all day long, I imagine.

[01:01:11] Oh, we can go and talk everything from beginning of life till the end.

[01:01:16] The biggest thing is that we look at as a whole here is how can I mean, it comes down to this.

[01:01:24] Self-help helps others.

[01:01:27] It's commitment.

[01:01:28] You come first.

[01:01:29] It's what you're doing.

[01:01:31] Oxygen mass drops.

[01:01:32] Put it on first and help others.

[01:01:34] If you're not alive, happy or well, you can't be of service to your country, your God, your family, your business, yourself.

[01:01:40] No.

[01:01:41] And I'd say from everything you're doing is you're starting or cutting the pie.

[01:01:46] You're going a complete circle.

[01:01:48] Now, the question is, at what point will you feel fulfilled for what you're doing?

[01:01:54] Or are you fulfilled now and you're doing it for just a love?

[01:01:58] Or, I mean, is it an ambassador?

[01:02:00] Well, you have something in retirement.

[01:02:01] I'm not a really good golfer.

[01:02:03] No, but I mean, are you looking for an ambassador in every country?

[01:02:07] My goal is to get 195 directors, one for every country.

[01:02:13] Okay.

[01:02:14] Okay.

[01:02:14] And then, of course, one day we'll have conventions, kindness conventions, what have you like that.

[01:02:18] And then I want to have one admin in every WhatsApp group in every city, and there's 10,000 cities.

[01:02:24] So imagine 10,000 admin, and they just put their wife in or their kid in.

[01:02:28] And again, it's just their first name, their birth city, because you're listed on worldkindnesslist.com.

[01:02:35] Mark, your first, because I think everyone should call everyone by their first names.

[01:02:39] I don't, last names, I don't get it.

[01:02:42] So your first name, Hilo, Hawaii, and your ambassador number.

[01:02:46] That's it.

[01:02:46] Now, eventually, I'll have a program to where it'll click on your name, and it'll go to your passion, your product, your profile.

[01:02:54] Everything about you.

[01:02:55] Yeah, but that's a programming thing that I have to pay for.

[01:02:58] So, I mean, you're really just, you're doing this at a good faith.

[01:03:02] Yeah, I'm just, I'm not concerned about the future.

[01:03:05] I might be dead tomorrow.

[01:03:07] I'm not, I don't have anything to do with the past.

[01:03:10] The past is, you know, there's a saying, yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift.

[01:03:16] That's why I call it the present.

[01:03:18] And all we have is today.

[01:03:19] There's another saying, that every day is, though it's your last, because one day it will be your last.

[01:03:23] And I've been living, I mean, I have 2,100 videos on Be Fantastic.

[01:03:28] This is the complete guide to kindness of YouTube.

[01:03:31] My other YouTube is Be Fantastic.

[01:03:34] Thousands of videos.

[01:03:35] And I love it because it's my memory, because my memory is shot.

[01:03:39] But it's also, learn by my mistakes.

[01:03:42] I did this wrong or that wrong.

[01:03:43] But follow my lead.

[01:03:45] Be kind.

[01:03:46] That's the bottom thing.

[01:03:48] But this is my gift to the planet.

[01:03:50] I'm trying to save the planet.

[01:03:51] I call it the insanity of humanity.

[01:03:53] Because, as you know, it's insane what man does to themselves, to the planet.

[01:03:59] You know, we've polluted our streams, our rivers, our oceans, our lakes, our atmosphere, our lands, and now outer space.

[01:04:08] You know how much junk there is?

[01:04:09] Oh, yeah.

[01:04:10] Just like we have that whole pile of, in the ocean, the Pacific Ocean.

[01:04:14] Plastic.

[01:04:14] The size of Texas or something like that.

[01:04:16] We have the same thing in space, that we keep shooting up with all our old things.

[01:04:21] I mean, it comes to a point where, when can we stop being wasteful?

[01:04:26] When we go to another planet.

[01:04:27] Because everything's going to be recyclable.

[01:04:29] There'll be very, very little trash on Mars.

[01:04:31] And we're going to Mars.

[01:04:32] By the way, they're not going to call people living on Mars Martians, according to Elon.

[01:04:37] They're going to be calling Mars people.

[01:04:39] Well, I was going to say our Maricans.

[01:04:41] Maricans.

[01:04:42] But here's what's the problem with that.

[01:04:44] Greed will still follow us there.

[01:04:45] If someone's going to make a community, and they're going to say, you want to buy a little house in that community?

[01:04:49] There's the price.

[01:04:50] And the price has to have a profit.

[01:04:52] Because everything's about profit.

[01:04:53] Well, just as you said about that space junk, right?

[01:04:57] Let's go back to saying that we're an alien.

[01:04:59] We're flying over when we look at Earth.

[01:05:00] And it'd be like us looking at a landfill.

[01:05:03] Exactly.

[01:05:04] And being like, oh, let's go there and help these people out.

[01:05:07] If I was an alien, I'd just keep going.

[01:05:10] One of my theories on trash is I call it the third less rule.

[01:05:14] I'll just take toothpaste.

[01:05:17] The toothpaste companies will tell you to put two layers of huge toothpaste on your toothbrush, right?

[01:05:23] I say use a third less.

[01:05:26] And if you use a third less, it lasts three times longer.

[01:05:29] It's a third less trash going into the problem.

[01:05:33] And it's a third less money.

[01:05:37] Everything third less.

[01:05:38] Drive a third less of the time.

[01:05:40] That means you can walk, ride a bike.

[01:05:42] It's good exercise.

[01:05:42] Guys, we're just consuming too much because of greed.

[01:05:47] Greed and corporations that are doing it.

[01:05:50] It's just a horrible situation.

[01:05:51] And I'm just doing all I can do.

[01:05:53] I'm just a simple guy going down the path.

[01:05:57] And hopefully I now have a charity.

[01:06:00] That's why I'm here in St. Louis.

[01:06:02] Open up the account.

[01:06:03] John Paul DeGioia has been very kind to help with that.

[01:06:07] And now it's like maybe if some money comes in, I could feed more poor people.

[01:06:12] I feed a lot of poor people in Antigua.

[01:06:14] Every day, because I have a lot of poor ambassadors, I get requests for money, for aid, for food, for shelter, for this, that, and the other thing.

[01:06:22] And I said, no, we're not that organization.

[01:06:25] UNICEF.

[01:06:26] Others can give you money.

[01:06:27] We're trying to give you a peace of mind, an outlook on life that will show you that happiness is what you need.

[01:06:35] And I tell people, they're hungry.

[01:06:38] Go out and volunteer.

[01:06:39] I guarantee you someone's going to feed you if you volunteer.

[01:06:41] I say the way you carry yourself, your personality, and what you're looking to accomplish, you almost have to say you're blessed.

[01:06:51] And if you're saying you're blessed, what you're doing is you're blessing others with that same opportunity.

[01:06:56] Blessed to be alive, the things I've done and the crazy shit.

[01:06:59] And if you think about that, my first thing is this.

[01:07:02] What I would love to do is we've had our talk today.

[01:07:05] Let's say if we did this again in a month or even six months.

[01:07:11] Let's see by having being blessed to meet you and go through this to expand who we are as a person.

[01:07:19] Let's see how that has helped me in that time frame.

[01:07:23] Because I have a feeling that, you know what?

[01:07:25] Taking the outlook and the approach that you're giving allows people to open up a part of themselves that they weren't expecting to do.

[01:07:34] Well, it's lovely to hear.

[01:07:35] I really like that because you can eat a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

[01:07:39] So sometimes my speeches would go one ear out the other.

[01:07:42] But what I'm saying is, and I love analogies, you know.

[01:07:45] I offer you and everyone listening and all my ambassadors a piece of cake.

[01:07:49] And it looks delicious.

[01:07:51] It looks beautiful.

[01:07:52] And it tastes delicious.

[01:07:53] And it's nutritious.

[01:07:54] It's healthy.

[01:07:56] I can't force you to eat it.

[01:07:57] You're going to taste it.

[01:07:58] You're going to like it maybe.

[01:07:59] Maybe you're going to love it.

[01:08:00] And maybe you can get involved and be an admin in one of our groups because we need 9,000 more admin out there.

[01:08:08] And I'm asking from admin just to introduce it to people.

[01:08:12] And the director basically forwards the motivation quote that I put out every day from someone famous, Abraham Lincoln or whatever.

[01:08:21] It's three seconds to do it forward.

[01:08:23] I think it's about three seconds.

[01:08:24] You look at a quote, you read it, and you hit forward, and you forward it to your group.

[01:08:28] That's all I ask people to do.

[01:08:29] Share the quote.

[01:08:31] Share the positivity.

[01:08:32] Share the kindness.

[01:08:33] You'll find that that quote could actually be something that starts the trigger to put someone on the path that you found.

[01:08:42] And I've got some really excited ambassadors that are really putting some effort out.

[01:08:46] It's volunteer basis, which is, you know, you can only get so much from a volunteer.

[01:08:50] Hopefully, one day I can pay my directors and help out the admin with the bandwidth.

[01:08:55] But that's, you know, going to require some benevolent person out there to do it.

[01:09:00] And if I close some of the deals I got going, I'll have all the money to do that myself, which can only rely on yourself in life.

[01:09:06] And that's why, you know, you've got to make yourself happy.

[01:09:08] No one's going to make you happy.

[01:09:10] You've got to try to do something that's going to fulfill your day, help others, because it's better to give than to get.

[01:09:18] It's so simple.

[01:09:20] Better to give than to receive.

[01:09:23] I like give and get.

[01:09:23] It's a little bit better play on words.

[01:09:26] Okay, so what's the next segment we can talk about?

[01:09:28] Because while I have you here, I really want to – we talked about aliens.

[01:09:33] Not too much about aliens, did we?

[01:09:34] No, we don't.

[01:09:36] The part with aliens that I've always said is that people seem to think that we don't know anything.

[01:09:43] And to really say that we don't know what's out there, if they visit us, we know about it.

[01:09:50] And when you go back to that, we'll go back to what we've seen, Operation Hijem, Admiral Byrd.

[01:09:57] Oh, yeah, we talked about that last night.

[01:09:58] And when you go into –

[01:09:59] One of the biggest naval operations in history with Admiral Byrd sailing to the Antarctic, right?

[01:10:05] Uh-huh.

[01:10:06] And to see if there's WMD, weapons of mass destruction.

[01:10:09] And whatever he found down there stopped him dead in his tracks.

[01:10:13] And he basically says something came out of the water and started just eliminating their ships.

[01:10:20] And they turned around and said –

[01:10:22] Get the hell out of here!

[01:10:24] Well, the biggest thing about it, though, is when you look at –

[01:10:27] This is history, folks.

[01:10:28] This has been made up bullshit.

[01:10:29] You can look this up.

[01:10:31] You can look it up.

[01:10:32] This is the only time in history –

[01:10:34] I mean, even the Treaty of Asai and World War II didn't have an impact where every country in the world –

[01:10:42] And now we're talking here –

[01:10:43] You know, we're talking the Chinese and Japanese who hate each other.

[01:10:46] We're talking everyone in the Mideast has always had wars.

[01:10:50] We're talking Catholics, Muslims, everything you can imagine.

[01:10:53] The history of time.

[01:10:54] Yes.

[01:10:54] We all have come together to say, we're not going to go here.

[01:10:58] We're talking about this agreement, and we'll just put little research that is there.

[01:11:00] Everybody agreed on one thing.

[01:11:02] Has there been anything else that everyone agreed on?

[01:11:05] No.

[01:11:05] This is a world – this is like the world peace theory.

[01:11:07] Okay.

[01:11:08] Is that nobody else – everyone in the world wants world peace.

[01:11:11] You know, all the countries.

[01:11:12] But, you know, they never agree on how it's going to happen.

[01:11:14] Until aliens come, and we have to all come together.

[01:11:16] Until there's something that can blow our world to pieces.

[01:11:19] Right.

[01:11:19] And then all of a sudden, we're like, oh, wait.

[01:11:20] That's what they're going to say.

[01:11:21] We're a team.

[01:11:22] I think the smarter you get – and there's eons smarter than us, right?

[01:11:25] These aliens, you're going to be benevolent.

[01:11:28] You're not going to be cruel and mean, right?

[01:11:30] In my opinion.

[01:11:32] And so what they're going to say, because of greed, they're out to get us.

[01:11:36] So we're going to spend trillions, and you're going to have to pay for it.

[01:11:40] We need your money to protect you from the aliens.

[01:11:44] Bullshit.

[01:11:45] Total bullshit.

[01:11:46] The thing is this.

[01:11:47] If they're here, that means they can leave.

[01:11:49] If the aliens have come and visited us, that means they can come and they can go.

[01:11:52] Right.

[01:11:52] Now, if they have the ability to do that, the last thing we want to do is poke the bear.

[01:11:57] Right.

[01:11:58] I mean –

[01:11:58] And we shoot at them.

[01:12:00] I mean, instead of saying, come, let's be friends, they shoot at them.

[01:12:04] They haven't destroyed anything.

[01:12:05] Actually, they shut down the nuclear silos many times, and that's to protect us.

[01:12:10] And one thing is this.

[01:12:12] When you look at Operation Hijack, and you look at – we never found them.

[01:12:17] But we never went down there and found them until after World War II, after we dropped the bombs.

[01:12:25] I think the aliens just said, hey, you guys are doing some things now.

[01:12:30] You shouldn't be doing.

[01:12:32] We're going to go ahead and tell you to curb this whole nuclear thing so you don't destroy the planet that they're living on or they're mining or whatever they're doing.

[01:12:39] And I think that's what kind of really happened.

[01:12:41] I think they basically had – they had to sit down and said, hey, guys, we're on this planet too, and you guys are going to destroy it, try nuking each other back and forth.

[01:12:50] Right.

[01:12:51] So you can either knock that off and leave us alone, or we're going to do what we've done before, time after time again.

[01:12:59] We're going to eviscerate all of you and let you guys start over and figure it out again.

[01:13:03] It's probably just going to happen because the Bible was given to us, in my opinion, to last us 2,000 years because we were very primitive at the time.

[01:13:10] And the 2,000 years is up.

[01:13:12] And now I think a majority of people believe in aliens, and it's going to change the world, I think.

[01:13:20] Well, I mean, if you take aliens and religion and almost cross them together, it's an eternal being, a greater good or a greater entity if you look at what God is or whoever you believe, a higher power, you can say.

[01:13:36] Now, wouldn't that technically be an alien then?

[01:13:40] Wouldn't a higher power be an alien force of some sort?

[01:13:44] If it's alive, if it's not alive or it's just an aura of energy, whatever it could be.

[01:13:50] But when you look at it like that, that kind of says, okay, so for what we look at them as, are we looking at aliens as gods?

[01:14:00] Because obviously if we're shooting at them.

[01:14:01] Well, they thought they were gods in the old days because they have many paintings.

[01:14:04] You know, the Mona Lisa, not the Mona Lisa, a Madonna painting, you know, from, I don't know, Da Vinci, whoever painted it.

[01:14:10] In the far background, there's a man and a dog, and the man's pointing to the sky, and there's a flying saucer in the painting that was in the, like, 1500s or whatever.

[01:14:21] And we see it throughout history.

[01:14:23] Columbus saw an orb come out of the water, and he wrote it in his log in the middle of the night on his way in 1492.

[01:14:29] So, I mean, we can go on and on and on about that they're here.

[01:14:35] I mean, they are here.

[01:14:36] And more importantly, I say this, you know, I believe when we look at aliens, we don't have to even leave the planet to look for them.

[01:14:42] No.

[01:14:43] We've only mapped, I think, we've only done, I think, was it like 10% of the world's ocean?

[01:14:49] Yeah, I think 5%.

[01:14:50] Very low.

[01:14:51] Some might have a new number.

[01:14:53] And they're underneath there, too, yeah.

[01:14:54] So, we haven't even explored our own planet yet.

[01:14:57] There's so much proof.

[01:14:59] Cattle mutilations, for a second.

[01:15:02] Not a drop of blood.

[01:15:04] Precision operations are taking pieces to study, obviously.

[01:15:10] Crop circles.

[01:15:11] I mean, I'm an expert on crop circles.

[01:15:14] Thousands around the world, they occur overnight.

[01:15:17] They're elaborate.

[01:15:18] The stem of the plant, or the corn, whatever they're pushing over.

[01:15:24] And they looked at it under a microscope.

[01:15:25] It's not bent.

[01:15:26] It's not broken.

[01:15:29] It's grown overnight sideways.

[01:15:31] And these intricate patterns that are amazing.

[01:15:34] So, just physical proof like that, you know.

[01:15:37] Well, I mean, I think we have to look no further than the architecture we have around the world.

[01:15:42] The pyramids.

[01:15:43] Perfect example.

[01:15:45] Power generating.

[01:15:46] Yeah, power.

[01:15:46] Just alone, how were they built?

[01:15:49] You can't tell me slaves moved 200 ton bricks, precisely cut, and stacked them up on top of each other.

[01:15:57] Every 20 minutes for 20 years is the mathematics.

[01:16:00] If you do the mathematics, 1.2 million huge blocks that we can't carry today.

[01:16:06] Cut 200 miles away.

[01:16:08] Quarried somehow.

[01:16:10] Placed with precision, with tunnels and, you know, all the different chambers and everything.

[01:16:16] Imagine all the different angles and have a block like this and a piece like this going through.

[01:16:22] And I said the most important part, though.

[01:16:25] They're placed in precision.

[01:16:27] And within, I think it's our longitudes and latitudes, within like a hundredth or two hundredth of an inch or something from the direct constellation in the skies.

[01:16:37] Right.

[01:16:37] They're multiply done.

[01:16:38] Now, the only way...

[01:16:40] And they're in a band around the world that, you know, I didn't have phones back then, I don't think.

[01:16:44] So how do they tell someone else in another country to build it and line it up?

[01:16:50] The thing is this.

[01:16:52] How do you do something like that without looking at it from above?

[01:16:56] Well, yeah, just the NACA drawings.

[01:16:59] There's things that we didn't see until we got up in the sky.

[01:17:02] Oh, like NASCA.

[01:17:03] NASCA.

[01:17:04] Yeah.

[01:17:04] I meant NASCA.

[01:17:05] It's like there's so many things that don't make any sense.

[01:17:10] Why are these runways that are miles long?

[01:17:16] What's our explanation?

[01:17:17] Oh, people just did it for fun?

[01:17:19] A lot of work for fun.

[01:17:20] Yeah.

[01:17:21] I mean...

[01:17:22] And to line up something precisely like that for miles and make a drawing that you can't see on Earth.

[01:17:28] You just can't see it.

[01:17:29] Well, and what about just jumping around because of the thing about all kinds of things?

[01:17:33] The Georgia Guidestones.

[01:17:34] I was there on my first journey here.

[01:17:37] I went to the...

[01:17:38] And they destroyed it.

[01:17:39] Yeah.

[01:17:40] They destroyed it.

[01:17:41] Why did they destroy it?

[01:17:43] These 12-foot monoliths in a circle, anyone who doesn't know about the Georgia Guidestones.

[01:17:48] And in 12 different languages, they wrote a prophecy of what's going to happen in the world.

[01:17:53] One of the prophecies, which is kind of unnerving, is they said we need to reduce the population to 500 million on the planet to survive.

[01:18:03] Musk totally on the other side saying that we don't have enough people.

[01:18:07] He says we need more babies.

[01:18:09] Well, technically we don't.

[01:18:11] I mean...

[01:18:12] He says there's a decline.

[01:18:13] Yeah.

[01:18:13] If you look at how many people are dying, how many people are born, more people are dying than being born.

[01:18:18] So we're decreasing.

[01:18:19] But it's 8 billion.

[01:18:20] It's going to take a long time to go down to a lower number.

[01:18:23] The easiest way to figure out is what's happening with humanity.

[01:18:28] We see we're evolving.

[01:18:30] We can say we're devolving at two different times.

[01:18:34] And it's the foods that we eat.

[01:18:37] It's what they put in the foods that we eat these days.

[01:18:40] I mean, when we look...

[01:18:41] There's no reason we can have a country where it's illegal for...

[01:18:46] Okay.

[01:18:47] I go around the world and the Tiendas, the little shops, you get junk food.

[01:18:51] And these little kids are eating a bag of lazy potato chips and a Coke for breakfast or lunch.

[01:18:57] And so this is a good example of what you're talking about.

[01:19:00] I don't know if you can read the ingredients.

[01:19:02] What are the ingredients?

[01:19:02] The ingredients.

[01:19:03] First one, sugar.

[01:19:04] Second one, unbleached enriched flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine, mononitrate, riboflavin, palm oil, soybean, canola oil, high fructose corn syrup.

[01:19:20] That's the bad one.

[01:19:22] Well, when you just look at that...

[01:19:25] Anything in a package, ladies and gentlemen, is unhealthy.

[01:19:28] But here's the thing.

[01:19:29] The preservatives, the chemicals, the...

[01:19:31] If you took this...

[01:19:33] But it tastes good, yeah.

[01:19:34] If you took this same thing and looked at it, say, in another country, like Europe, guess what?

[01:19:40] They don't even sell them.

[01:19:42] You know why?

[01:19:43] Because they don't consider it food.

[01:19:50] They don't consider it food.

[01:19:52] It's really not...

[01:19:53] There's no nutrition in it.

[01:19:54] There's no value in it.

[01:19:56] It's completely...

[01:19:57] And it's bad for you.

[01:19:58] It's like this.

[01:19:59] If you've ever seen...

[01:19:59] You ever seen the difference between a banana and an organic banana?

[01:20:05] Well, they take bananas when they're green, so they didn't get the nutrients.

[01:20:08] So the equation is taste equals nutrients.

[01:20:12] If you find something that's tasteless, it doesn't have the nutrients in it.

[01:20:15] We're depleting our soil so the nutrients aren't getting into the food.

[01:20:19] But when they...

[01:20:19] The GMO tomatoes, so they last three weeks, which a normal tomato lasts three days.

[01:20:25] And they're picking them green as well, so there's no nutrients in it.

[01:20:28] But they look red and they look gorgeous.

[01:20:31] They have no taste or no nutrition, but we're buying them.

[01:20:33] Well, you know, it's because it's become...

[01:20:36] Feeding our people has become a corporation to the point where they do what they call monocropping.

[01:20:43] Now, technically, what you're supposed to do, you plant corn.

[01:20:46] Okay?

[01:20:47] After you harvest the corn...

[01:20:49] Find a different crop.

[01:20:50] You plant a different crop.

[01:20:51] So, you know, you can turn the soil and it grows.

[01:20:55] And then from there, you can...

[01:20:57] You know, but in theory, if you were all natural, you'd have...

[01:21:00] The pigs would come over and turn it up.

[01:21:02] The chickens would come.

[01:21:03] They'd eat the little things off of it.

[01:21:05] And you'd go over and over again.

[01:21:07] And you'd use the land.

[01:21:08] You'd let it rebuild.

[01:21:09] What we do instead, we harvest, say, the corn.

[01:21:13] Then we spray it all down with chemicals.

[01:21:16] We kill all the pesticides.

[01:21:17] Right.

[01:21:18] Then we...

[01:21:19] Then we drill into it again.

[01:21:21] Right.

[01:21:21] Then we spray it down again with all the...

[01:21:24] And while the corn's growing, we're spraying...

[01:21:26] Yeah, the vegeticides.

[01:21:27] Exactly.

[01:21:28] And then we replant the corn.

[01:21:30] And then...

[01:21:31] And then...

[01:21:31] Whatever we're doing, we spray on that.

[01:21:33] Monsanto.

[01:21:33] However you want to put it, we're spraying on it.

[01:21:35] There's more chemicals and everything else.

[01:21:36] Monsanto is an evil incarnate.

[01:21:39] Until you realize that...

[01:21:41] You can have...

[01:21:42] I had...

[01:21:43] You can have an ear of corn the size of your arm in some places.

[01:21:47] And you're like, how is this possible?

[01:21:49] Well, you look at, say, a third world country that's doing it right.

[01:21:52] They're getting pieces of corn.

[01:21:54] They're like this big.

[01:21:55] Yeah.

[01:21:55] Normal.

[01:21:55] And they feel that the bigger they can make it, the better it is.

[01:22:00] But you've been to Europe.

[01:22:01] You've seen the difference of a strawberry that's this big that has 10 times more flavor than one that's this big.

[01:22:08] And so not...

[01:22:10] Bigger isn't always better.

[01:22:11] No.

[01:22:12] No.

[01:22:13] That's a hard statement.

[01:22:14] They call it food fraud now.

[01:22:16] If you think you're buying extra virgin olive oil from Italy, you're just...

[01:22:21] I'm laughing at you.

[01:22:22] Because it's...

[01:22:23] And there's poor farmers that are really doing it.

[01:22:25] They don't have the subsidies because of the big corporate greed, whatever.

[01:22:30] And so they're just fighting a losing battle by selling extra virgin olive oil because it's expensive to make.

[01:22:36] They're faking cheese.

[01:22:37] They're faking...

[01:22:38] Ham is gray in color.

[01:22:40] So no one's going to buy gray ham.

[01:22:42] And so they inject it with nitrates, which is cancerous.

[01:22:45] So everything that's mass produced has got more chemicals so it lasts longer.

[01:22:53] The GMOs are the vegetables so they look prettier and last longer.

[01:22:57] Because they ship them around the world.

[01:22:58] And you're picking everything green without the nutrients.

[01:23:01] So again, it's the insanity of humanity.

[01:23:04] But there's just...

[01:23:05] It's greed, I think.

[01:23:06] It's just the bottom line is everything's greed.

[01:23:09] But farmers markets, now that's what I think is the future.

[01:23:13] And that's where I think that for our plan as a whole to come back, it starts within...

[01:23:19] So you can say within the household.

[01:23:21] But that household has to start within the community.

[01:23:23] Right.

[01:23:24] And that community is kind of like...

[01:23:27] Back in the early, early days when you realize that when a town was built, you know, sometimes

[01:23:34] it takes a village to get something done.

[01:23:37] It takes...

[01:23:37] Everybody comes together.

[01:23:39] Right.

[01:23:39] Everyone's there.

[01:23:40] I mean, I say that just because I lived in California for years.

[01:23:45] My house in California, I talked to my neighbors twice.

[01:23:49] Yeah.

[01:23:50] People don't talk their day.

[01:23:50] One was to say hi and one was to say bye.

[01:23:53] Exactly.

[01:23:53] And other than that, I knew that.

[01:23:54] Well, most people don't say hi.

[01:23:55] They just say bye.

[01:23:57] But that's how it is.

[01:23:59] I know.

[01:23:59] That's why you got to get out of the city.

[01:24:01] I always say you only should be in a big city for two reasons.

[01:24:04] One is to make a bunch of money.

[01:24:05] That's where the money's being made.

[01:24:06] Or find a mate.

[01:24:08] Now, it's more important to find a mate.

[01:24:09] But if you find a mate, get the hell out of the city.

[01:24:12] Yeah.

[01:24:13] Go to a village because the shit's going to hit the pan very soon, I think.

[01:24:17] And if you're in a big city, your shit's great.

[01:24:20] It reminds me of the one story they say.

[01:24:23] So there's a fisherman.

[01:24:26] And he's down in Mexico.

[01:24:28] He's in this little village.

[01:24:29] And he works part-time.

[01:24:31] He fishes.

[01:24:32] He catches enough to feed his family.

[01:24:35] And he spends time, makes love to his wife every day, dances, and enjoys life every single day.

[01:24:42] That's all he does.

[01:24:43] And this, we'll say American guy comes down, business owner comes down and says, you're an amazing fisherman.

[01:24:50] What you need to do is you need to fish eight hours a day.

[01:24:56] Catch a lot of fish.

[01:24:58] Open up a big business so you can sell these fish all over the place.

[01:25:03] Make a lot of money.

[01:25:04] And in 20 years, you can then retire.

[01:25:08] Move to a small village.

[01:25:10] Fish part-time.

[01:25:12] Make love to your wife then.

[01:25:14] And enjoy the time of your life.

[01:25:16] I love this story.

[01:25:17] I've been saying the exact same story for 40 years.

[01:25:20] Because the guy's the guy fishing.

[01:25:21] He's doing so well.

[01:25:22] You can have a big company.

[01:25:24] And then one day you'll retire and you can go fishing.

[01:25:26] Exactly.

[01:25:26] I'm doing it now.

[01:25:28] Exactly.

[01:25:28] And I think that's where...

[01:25:30] The insanity of humanity, everybody.

[01:25:31] And that's what happens to people within our country and all the other countries out there.

[01:25:36] Everyone's so gung-ho to make it big that they don't realize that for all the people that made it big, their goal is to get back to the basics in a simple life.

[01:25:47] You ever see a hearse behind a U-Haul behind a hearse?

[01:25:51] You can't take it with you.

[01:25:52] Exactly.

[01:25:52] Now, Steve Jobs, he died.

[01:25:54] And he had a lot of money and he had time to reflect as he knew he was dying.

[01:25:59] But the second commitment is to be kind to others.

[01:26:02] If the super billionaires of the world and the super trillionaires of the world were just to pay their fair share of taxes, that's it.

[01:26:09] It would help out humanity.

[01:26:11] But what are you going to do with billions and trillions of dollars?

[01:26:14] I mean, they're gold-plating their Ferraris and their Lamborghinis and their Rolls Royces.

[01:26:18] Gold-plating it.

[01:26:20] Help people.

[01:26:21] Share your money.

[01:26:22] Share your money.

[01:26:23] They show the statistic that 90% of the world's wealth is held by 10% of the population.

[01:26:30] Right.

[01:26:31] And 1% controls it all.

[01:26:34] Yes.

[01:26:34] But when you stop thinking about that number alone, that really shows you that money's not everything.

[01:26:42] Because that means that there'd be more miserable people that don't know how to live.

[01:26:45] So what this shows us is wealth is how we measure wealth is financially.

[01:26:53] But wealth is something much greater than that.

[01:26:56] Wealth leads into basically your basic things in life.

[01:27:00] And if you could almost say, you know what, if they had a happiness meter the same as they measured wealth, I'll tell you this.

[01:27:06] Those numbers could be reversed.

[01:27:08] Those numbers could be the same.

[01:27:09] Or reversed.

[01:27:09] Yeah.

[01:27:10] Yeah.

[01:27:10] And that's something that we, that's what we don't look at.

[01:27:13] Is we don't look at, you know, what's going good.

[01:27:15] It's like the news.

[01:27:16] You know, a car accident sells.

[01:27:18] Tragedy sells.

[01:27:20] Disaster sells.

[01:27:20] Disaster sells.

[01:27:21] But they don't tell you about all the good things people are doing.

[01:27:24] They tried the Good News Network and it failed.

[01:27:28] They had the topless news.

[01:27:29] I think that's still going on.

[01:27:30] I watch it.

[01:27:31] People watch that.

[01:27:32] But the Good News failed.

[01:27:35] But now what they did, they got a little smart.

[01:27:37] The very end of the cast, webcast or the newscast, they have one little tidbit of a positive thing.

[01:27:44] So they leave you thinking, you know, they did something positive.

[01:27:48] And it's all about, because the corporations are running the news.

[01:27:52] I mean, there's only a few families that are running everything.

[01:27:55] You know, they own the corporations.

[01:27:56] They own, which own the media, which own, I mean, we're manipulated into buying their shit products so they can make more money.

[01:28:05] And, you know, lobbyists that are lobbying for, put the chemicals in this thing so it'll last longer.

[01:28:11] And then the legislation will pass it because they got paid by the lobbyists.

[01:28:15] And the one thing we've seen throughout history, which I always will fall back on history because history repeats itself.

[01:28:22] Every empire that has risen has fallen.

[01:28:25] Not a hard thing to look at.

[01:28:27] We all know that.

[01:28:27] But it lasts so long.

[01:28:28] Yeah.

[01:28:29] Now, but where do they really go?

[01:28:31] All right.

[01:28:32] The British Empire.

[01:28:34] You know what that turned into?

[01:28:35] A bank.

[01:28:38] The Rome Empire.

[01:28:39] What did that turn into?

[01:28:40] Vatican City.

[01:28:42] All the money that the Roman Empire had didn't just disappear.

[01:28:45] It went somewhere, just like the British Empire.

[01:28:48] It didn't.

[01:28:48] It went somewhere.

[01:28:49] It went to the bank in Britain.

[01:28:51] I think they have a little island that has worth so much, basically.

[01:28:56] They wanted to control the world like a lot of Napoleon and a lot of other people.

[01:29:00] Yeah.

[01:29:00] But when you look at it, they didn't just disappear.

[01:29:02] Oh, but people got there.

[01:29:04] You know, things changed.

[01:29:04] They said the empire itself fell.

[01:29:07] The control fell.

[01:29:08] But all of the profit and everything they made doesn't just go poof.

[01:29:12] You know?

[01:29:13] So it goes somewhere.

[01:29:15] So my first question is, we're the youngest, greatest empire right now, which is the U.S.

[01:29:20] We're 200 years old.

[01:29:22] We're kind of like an infant baby compared to the other ones out there.

[01:29:25] Chinese have been thousands, right?

[01:29:27] Yeah.

[01:29:27] So compare.

[01:29:28] Well, look at the right now.

[01:29:29] We're the superpower.

[01:29:30] We're the U.S.

[01:29:31] Now, we're only 200 years old.

[01:29:34] We're babies.

[01:29:35] Right.

[01:29:36] You know?

[01:29:37] And we're already starting to see how fast things are changing with us.

[01:29:43] And I look forward to see what the future holds and coming in the next four years of everything going on.

[01:29:49] And hopefully, we can learn that we're not the American or the U.S.A. empire.

[01:29:56] We're going to be...

[01:29:58] Well, they're looking for the one world order.

[01:30:00] Yes.

[01:30:00] They've eaten DeVos every year, the big superpowers.

[01:30:03] So they're inching it.

[01:30:05] Some people say it's already here, but they're inching it in their way.

[01:30:07] Because when they tell you to put on a mask and jump in and stay in your house and don't move, we listen like sheep.

[01:30:13] And that was very profitable, COVID.

[01:30:14] That's what started me on my journey.

[01:30:16] I knew that COVID was man-made.

[01:30:18] I knew it was patented, which is man-made.

[01:30:20] Oh, yeah.

[01:30:20] And it was released by man.

[01:30:22] I knew it.

[01:30:22] So I said, this is my last straw.

[01:30:24] I've got to do something, and I'm still doing it five years later, to try to open people's eyes.

[01:30:32] Like you're doing with it.

[01:30:35] I hate to say it is when we say we're indoctrinated when we go to our schools and everything we learn in our colleges is what they teach us now is not beneficial truly for us to grow within a society.

[01:30:51] 100%.

[01:30:51] And they teach us to make money, sell the drugs from big pharma, not cure people, not do homeopathic medicine.

[01:30:59] Imagine if they just went back to homeopathic.

[01:31:01] And I think they're going to outlaw it again like they did in the 30s because it's not profitable.

[01:31:06] Aspirin is the greatest example.

[01:31:07] It's not patented.

[01:31:08] You can't patent an aspirin.

[01:31:10] But when you put it in the Bayer, which is a big multimillion-dollar advertising campaign, they charge a lot of money.

[01:31:16] So morons in the world will buy Bayer for a lot more money.

[01:31:19] It's the same thing as aspirin.

[01:31:21] The same damn thing.

[01:31:23] It's amazing.

[01:31:24] People buy private label.

[01:31:28] It's the same product.

[01:31:29] Yeah.

[01:31:30] People buy what they think is going to work because that's what they've heard.

[01:31:35] We're trying to keep up with the Joneses.

[01:31:36] We're trying to wear nice clothes and impress others.

[01:31:39] First commitment to kindness is to love yourself.

[01:31:41] Don't give a hell about what other people think of you.

[01:31:44] It's what you think of you.

[01:31:45] I always said to my wife, if I go out in the field today and 100 people tell me I'm an ugly loser, I'm going to say, what's the odds of running into 100 wrong people today?

[01:31:54] It's pretty high.

[01:31:55] But I'm not going to take people think I'm crazy.

[01:31:59] I'm not crazy.

[01:32:01] Maybe I am crazy.

[01:32:02] I don't know.

[01:32:03] Oh, I mean, in one aspect, we're all a little bit crazy.

[01:32:07] I only like crazy people.

[01:32:09] My wife would always say, why do you meet such bizarre, crazy people?

[01:32:12] I don't want anyone normal in my life.

[01:32:14] I mean, ordinary is boring.

[01:32:18] Well, all and all.

[01:32:18] Absolutely.

[01:32:19] And that's what I'll probably have to end our first conversation on here.

[01:32:24] I look at this.

[01:32:25] I had fun.

[01:32:25] You had fun?

[01:32:26] Yes.

[01:32:27] One of many, my friend.

[01:32:28] One of many.

[01:32:28] Yes.

[01:32:29] And you know what?

[01:32:30] We'll take the journey of happiness together.

[01:32:31] You are now part of a global community of like-minded, positive people.

[01:32:36] And hopefully you'll introduce it to your kids.

[01:32:39] If you have kids.

[01:32:40] Do you have kids?

[01:32:40] Yes, I do.

[01:32:41] Okay.

[01:32:41] Introduce it to your kids.

[01:32:42] Because the Global Kindness Pledge is going to change the world.

[01:32:46] It's not political.

[01:32:47] It's not commercial.

[01:32:48] It's not religious.

[01:32:50] It's like the Pledge of Allegiance.

[01:32:51] But for the world, it goes like this.

[01:32:54] I want you to repeat after me.

[01:32:55] I pledge to be kind to.

[01:32:57] I pledge to be kind to.

[01:32:58] And love myself.

[01:32:59] And love myself.

[01:33:00] I pledge to be kind to.

[01:33:02] I pledge to be kind to.

[01:33:03] And strive to love all others.

[01:33:05] And strive to love all others.

[01:33:06] I pledge to be kind to.

[01:33:07] I pledge to be kind to.

[01:33:08] Love and respect our Mother Earth.

[01:33:10] Love and respect our Mother Earth.

[01:33:12] We are all fantastic.

[01:33:13] We are all fantastic.

[01:33:14] You are fantastic.

[01:33:16] You are fantastic.

[01:33:17] I am fantastic.

[01:33:18] I am fantastic.

[01:33:19] Do you feel the power of that?

[01:33:20] Yes, sir.

[01:33:22] My goal right now, one of the goals of the charity is to get the schools to say that every day because it builds self-confidence.

[01:33:30] It fosters camaraderie.

[01:33:32] It spreads energy into the classroom to get it started or ended.

[01:33:36] It teaches the values of words like the word fantastic, which is an act of kindness because it makes you smile, reducing stress, making you look great.

[01:33:44] And then it teaches us about the environment.

[01:33:47] We need to take accountability of our actions.

[01:33:51] Use less, buy less, recycle, repurpose.

[01:33:54] Anyway, what a fantastic guy.

[01:33:57] He's so smart.

[01:33:57] We're going to have to do more conversations.

[01:34:00] It's been a pleasure, sir.

[01:34:01] And I tell everyone out there, you guys be fantastic too.

[01:34:03] Exactly.

[01:34:04] Let's end this thing somehow.

[01:34:06] How do we do this?

[01:34:08] One day I'm going to figure this out real easy.

[01:34:10] Bye-bye, everybody.

[01:34:12] Have a fantastic day.

[01:35:05] I found as many beans as I could.

[01:35:07] Two different types of meat.

[01:35:09] Came out unbelievable, as all my recipes do.

[01:35:13] You know, I love to eat.

[01:35:14] What can I tell you?

[01:35:16] And Beef Fantastic YouTube channel has a lot more because we cook gumbo creole while we're here.

[01:35:23] What else did I cook?

[01:35:25] Geez.

[01:35:26] Oh, there's a couple other recipes I can't remember quite offhand.

[01:35:30] But I've been doing a lot of cooking and a lot of eating, gaining a lot of weight.

[01:35:33] But that's what vacations are for.

[01:35:35] And I will be here through the end of the year.

[01:36:10] And that's what this show is all about.

[01:36:11] Being happy.

[01:36:12] Eating, cooking, doing what makes you happy.

[01:36:15] Keep doing what makes you happy.

[01:36:16] And if cooking doesn't make you happy, don't cook.

[01:36:19] But it should.

[01:36:20] You're about to see the most incredible chili you've ever seen.

[01:36:25] Okay, it's time for another edition of Dr. Fantastic Cooks.

[01:36:29] I'm going to take two pounds of ground beef.

[01:36:31] What is that?

[01:36:32] Chuck.

[01:36:34] And carne piccata.

[01:36:35] A couple onions.

[01:36:37] Sliced and diced tomatoes.

[01:36:40] Chili beans.

[01:36:41] Pinto beans.

[01:36:42] Great northern beans.

[01:36:45] Other kind of beans.

[01:36:46] Black beans.

[01:36:47] Dark red beans.

[01:36:48] Chili beans.

[01:36:49] Skinny beans.

[01:36:50] It'll be a multi bean chili.

[01:36:54] And I've got some spice.

[01:36:55] Chili spice.

[01:36:56] And it's going to go in this big pot here.

[01:36:59] So stand by everybody.

[01:37:03] Okay, step one.

[01:37:04] Saute the onions in a little bit of olive oil.

[01:37:08] Chop up the ground chuck and the other kind of steaks and meats you want to put in there.

[01:37:15] Step two.

[01:37:17] The beef is browning.

[01:37:20] Beef is browning.

[01:37:20] And I decided to put some yellow, orange, and red peppers in it.

[01:37:24] And I'm going to make some pico de gallo.

[01:37:27] The famous pico de gallo or some guacamole.

[01:37:31] And of course, always have a beer or a cocktail in case everything goes to hell.

[01:37:35] You don't feel so bad.

[01:37:38] The peppers are diced and ready for the saute.

[01:37:46] Okay.

[01:37:47] The ground beef is brown.

[01:37:50] And I also added those peppers in as you can see.

[01:37:54] I'm making my guacamole.

[01:37:56] I think it's going to be guacamole.

[01:37:58] Anyway, the avocados you can see I scored.

[01:38:00] And then I'll just scope those in so it's chunky.

[01:38:03] And I have opened all the cans that are going to go in.

[01:38:07] Which will go in in about a second.

[01:38:09] And then cook for a couple hours.

[01:38:11] And it's going to be fantastic chili.

[01:38:14] We can make burritos and tacos.

[01:38:16] And put some pico de gallo on it.

[01:38:19] So have some guacamole with it.

[01:38:21] And have a beer, of course, with it.

[01:38:23] I'll let you know how it comes out.

[01:38:27] Well, the chili is off the charts delicious.

[01:38:31] And it's not the three beers I had since cooking it.

[01:38:33] It is de-freaking-licious.

[01:38:37] It's fantastic.

[01:38:38] And, you know, everyone's a little different.

[01:38:41] But, you know, there's no science to it.

[01:38:43] And it's just have fun.

[01:38:44] Throw in a little bit more chili.

[01:38:45] I did add a little bit of jalapeno, fresh jalapeno.

[01:38:49] And I added a little bit more chili powder.

[01:38:51] But, you know, it was two packages of chili powder.

[01:38:54] I don't know if I told you.

[01:38:54] Because one package is supposed to be one pound of beef.

[01:38:58] So, and salt and pepper.

[01:38:59] And it's fantastic.

[01:39:01] It really, really is delicious.

[01:39:04] Have fun in the kitchen.

[01:39:06] Cook with the family.

[01:39:08] Get the kids involved, you know.

[01:39:10] And just be kind to yourself, others, and the planet.

[01:39:45] What an interesting guy Mark is.

[01:39:48] And there's a lot of happy thoughts that came out of that interview.

[01:39:52] And I hope you enjoyed the cooking episode.

[01:39:53] And I hope you're going to have a fantastic, happy week.

[01:39:56] And I'll see you next Monday.

[01:39:59] Be kind to yourself.

[01:40:00] Be kind to all others.

[01:40:01] Be kind to Mother Earth.

[01:40:02] Three commitments to kindness that will save humanity.

[01:40:06] From, as I always say, the insanity of humanity.

[01:40:10] See you next week.
