DeVory Darkins: TikTok Is Changing How a Generation Thinks | DSH #1802

0:00Just to put yourself in an environment that is not in your control and is uncomfortable on purpose Having that at the age of 18 does wonders to you and being able to leave your bubble your small town that you grew up in Is huge and then meet someone who's from like Tunga or Hawaii and Boston Jersey, you know, it's huge All right guys last but not least today. We got to worry someone. I've been trying to get on for years now He's always in the top 100 charts on YouTube had a lot of success. Thanks. You're coming on man. Yeah, absolutely. Thank you for having me I'm sure people to be here. Yeah, I'm sure you like quite the year man. Yeah a lot of stuff to cover. Yeah, absolutely. It's been You know when we first started it wasn't even about any numbers or anything It was just about just getting out there and spreading the truth So it really has kind of morph to something serious. So I'm very grateful. Was it always political focus? Not first or kind of? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean a lot of people asked me how I got started in essentially it was my wife

1:05I was asking me hey, why don't you do politics, you know, because we're always listening to it We were debating over it, but my reaction every time was well, no, I don't want to deal with that It's a little toxic, you know, it's negative. I'm good. I'm good and one day I was sitting down watching the The rally july 13th 2024 Butler, Pennsylvania And I saw this assassination attempt and I was like, you know I really felt compelled at that point to start and I haven't stopped since I love the man You and I actually share the same belief like you don't trust any politician right exactly the same way Yeah, and it's ironic being at emphasis saying this But I feel like these days you have to come within with our mindset. Of course Yeah, I think what's more importantly is helping the American people critically think for themselves because it helps them vote in their local elections smarter So nationally we may not be able to get exactly the person we want in office because clearly Money is what runs politics. Thank you to the supreme court citizens united of course

2:07But at the local level our power is absolute. We could do a lot of good At the school board meeting city council things that actually affect me and you every day Just by the cities that that we live in Yeah, that's a good point man. A lot of people want to get involved at a federal level Yeah, but you could have much more impact locally. Oh, absolutely Yeah, if you could form a group of like a hundred people that share the same beliefs that can impact the city Right depending on the population, but exactly exactly message. Yeah Have you always been leaning towards the conservative side of things or did you grow up kind of liberal? No, I was already a conservative my mother. I think that's why she parented me She never made anything about race She never took any excuses now. I was adopted and to give some context here It was my great aunt who adopted me so she was my grandmother's generation and that particular generation Was they don't explain anything. It's very hard parenting, but so it was definitely conservative and in the household

3:07Yeah, I feel like I grew up docs at liberal. Okay started waking up over time. Yeah, I grew up in Jersey So okay just talk to my environment everyone was liberal there man Everyone yeah, yeah, I didn't meet one conservative drug up Yeah, and I think For me it was just because they're like I was adopted my parents were drug addicts You know, I had to I joined the military when I was 17 I'd bid I'd bid on my own since I was 17 So I have a different life experience Is why I support conservative values just inherently, you know um, and I'm not saying people have to go through all that to have those values But for me it's just kind of was just the way my life turned out So you were in the military now knowing everything you know about the military industrial complex all the wars why they're started Yeah, how do you feel about it now? It's a A given a take it's a double-edged sword Meaning What you get from serving is something nobody can give you

4:07You're only going to get it by going there the the the relationships The level of resistance that you face that helps you develop a stronger mindset I think everybody should actually serve in the military for two years. That's it. I think that's more than enough Yeah, just to just to put yourself in an environment that is not in your control and is uncomfortable on purpose Having that at the age of 18 does wonders to you and being able to leave your your your bubble your small town that you grew up in Is huge and then meet someone who's from like Tonga or Hawaii and Boston Jersey, you know, it's huge. So that right there is very valuable There the flip side to it of course is that you know, uh clearly the The Department of Defense who just had their budget pass with no hesitation right no debate no public announcement They passed that like that any other piece of legislation and all you hear it is in

5:08The major media all you hear them fighting over they never fight over the budget for the the Department of Defense Why is that right? It's like what you were saying is a lot of these people hold either relationships power or some level of influence Within these military contractors. We know how many people got rich off of 9-11 essentially right going into Afghanistan Iraq. It's insane I give your viewers a great example I when I was in the military I was a logistics guy I was the supply guy so the supply guy you not only get to see all of all the soldiers come in and out But you get to see all of the equipment going in out so to to to explain to people Yeah, so so to explain to people uh the level of fraud waste and abuse They would essentially have brand new military vehicles we call them em wraps sitting there Like in a in a field just sitting there

6:08unused They ended up having to destroy them And when we left Afghanistan if you remember we left a lot of that equipment behind because the powers that be said Oh, well, it's actually cheaper to keep it here and destroy it than it is to ship it back So this is what happened with our tax dollars equipment down the drain or hand it over to the Taliban or destroyed you let me know if that really makes sense I don't think that makes sense at all I've even seen Sean Ryan on his show that we're somehow funding the Taliban or al-Qaeda 48 million a week What is that about? Well essentially it happens in an indirect way but it happens in the end so through the refugee program We donate 48 million to Afghanistan Well because of this program and the aid It gets into the hands of the Taliban because they obviously Dominate that area wow And here's the thing about Afghanistan that most people don't realize which is now when you look back It's all a shame. Yeah, it's the one country that's never been conquered

7:13Russia tried it America tried it other countries have tried it all have failed in the end. Why I mean think about why I That's a great question. I don't know Like a huge country like I don't know and maybe Maybe if we look deeper maybe it's not about conquering maybe it's about making it appear Like we're trying to conquer and what we're really doing is trying to use the natural resources like poppy seed there And the influence of the Taliban to get what we want and when I say we not me and you the politicians I mean when you look into the weapons of mass destruction narrative that was all bullshit exactly right now There's there's two sides side one is it was honest intelligence and it just come it came out to be wrong And there's always a risk that intelligence can be wrong and the other side of it it was a good excuse To convince the American people to go along with this. I mean when you look at how many wars started from 9-11 like you said It's there's still wars being started because of that of course to the state. Yeah crazy. I mean no matter which side you lean on this

8:18Just look at the results Anytime the United States of America intervened in the Middle East did it ever turn out to be good in the end According to his or the answers no No, even if it justified short-term gain I'm not too sure the long-term gain and even if you can tell me why long-term and has worked I don't think you're going to be able to convince an entire generation of that Like today jen z you're not going to be able to tell them my generation millennials we grew up seeing the twin towers That's an emotional impact. We're in the classroom seeing this unfold jen z didn't experience that I'm at the point now where I truly think we'll be in a war for the rest of our lives It's possible. Yeah, I mean and here's the thing When when you say war I mean there's so many wars happening There's information right now. Right information warrior. I mean think about it I mean think of think of what the algorithm is doing towards society. That's going to happen forever information war for sure

9:19Yeah, AI could be up there. I think I think and this is a hot take I guess but I don't think we need to go to war with our military And when I went when I say that I'm talking about our adversary our greatest one China You think China needs to go to war with us mill with with with their military All they need to do is cut off their supply chains Think about that. They own our supply chain. We got a lot of stuff You saw that during COVID Think about from a cyber security standpoint how they've already infiltrated our country Think about what they did with the tick-tock algorithm They changed a generation and the way they think and how they consume information There's this new technology floating around that people cannot stop talking about It's called the light system before you roll your eyes It's not some gadget you strap on or supplement that promises the world every once in a while I come across something that actually stops me in my tracks and the light system is one of those things This isn't a supplement. It's not a biohack It's a full-on energy environment built to help your mind and body synchronize recharge and operate at a higher level

10:24It uses light patterns color frequencies and coherent energy fields all the stuff that your body naturally responds to to to create a Coherent energetic field around you people are saying they feel more clear more centered more live in their environment And honestly the science behind it is fascinating as I've seen a lot of wellness tech But the numbers coming out on this new study of the light system are actually insane Researchers measured human chic cells before and after sitting in front of the system and get this a 30-minute session boosted Cellular conductivity by 61% the study even showed increased conductivity in isolated DNA Which is associated with stronger structure and better repair pathways with the result more clarity more balance and more alignment You could save $500 now if you go to the light systems.com and use discount code Sean That's a whole note that that's a that's something that's not even spoken about the easy thing to do is Yeah, you know, we we should go to war. That's not gonna happen. They don't they don't need to do that Yeah, that's like the last resort. Yeah, that's the last resort Yeah, they've they've also bought a lot of farmland here. Yeah, exactly in our food system already

11:26Exactly. They think in terms of a hundred years in China. Yeah So I say all this and again this gets into like born influence I know right now the big hot topic is Israel. Yeah, but if you think Israel is a problem Imagine how big of a problem China is and they're they're so big as a problem that it's not even obvious to the average America That's how good they are exactly. Yeah, so when you think of the biggest threats to America you put China at the top of the oh no well, I mean Out's external threat. Yep China internal threat the money that's in politics really. Yeah, so you think it's doing that much damage Well, for sure. I think d.i. was a money scheme I think black lives matter was a money scheme because ultimately the people who got paid the most money where are they today? Yeah, I don't hear anything from them BLM's already been to bonk to this exactly exactly so when they're pushing that hard Someone's on the other end of that getting the money. That's why the corporations went along with it It was a way for them to get money by think about how many grants they they they got from the federal government

12:31Just imagine that Think about the programs that were started for d.i. And how that was funded who got paid in the end And here's the other thing who gets the short end of the stick at in the at the end of the day the black community They were supposed to be the ones who benefited from black lives matter who benefited from d.i. In fact No, we did not benefit in fact it made our image even worse Wow, if you think about it because now if you see someone in a leadership position who happens to be black What is the first thought d.i. 100% and I don't blame people for thinking that way I can't make them think the way I would think of course You know, I I still say hey listen the other thing that's true is don't always think that of course obviously right let the results do the talking Okay, there's a lot of confidence in people who are black and leadership positions But when you see and I'll give you a prime example so everybody understands I'm not just blowing smoke here when you see the dc mayor The dc police chief what just came out the dc police chief just resigned for cooking the books regarding the crime data

13:33In a city that is predominantly black. Wow. What's going on with that? I didn't see that well Yeah, what what how about the former mayor of New Orleans who who got voted out she's got 13 federal indictments for Employing her boyfriend as a security guard With public funds and he never actually showed up to work allegedly, okay? What about the Congresswoman out of Florida McCormick who was taking COVID money and putting it into the pockets of her family You know, and then obviously the leaders of black lives matter who on record never gave any money to the actual victims Yeah, and then the worst of them all I know I'm going on here The worst of them all Brandon Johnson What is he done for the city of of Chicago? They thought Laurie Lightfoot was an issue But this guy the lowest approver rating hasn't done anything for the black community in there and it's not about Your skin color the point that I'm making is they lead with race and if we follow their logic about leading with race

14:36It still doesn't add up because if you're leading with race and you're cooking the books on crime data How is that exactly helping you leading with race and saying that you care about black lives? That doesn't make any sense not at all So that's why I say it's all a scam essentially yeah books can be cooked if numbers can be manipulated It makes you wonder like where to get real information these days, right exactly You know, yeah, it makes you really like question stuff if crime statistics can be just blatantly lied about right what what do I trust at that point So that's why I take pride in the show because essentially what I've I Just been able to kind of pay attention to are there are the patterns Which is that what Democrats would do no longer is We will not fight you on the surface level stuff We'll just go in and change the rules to the game That's why the past administration Joe Biden tried to change the language in title 9 That's the foundation of sports uh in our education system

15:37So if they want boys playing in girl sports the best thing for them to do is not to argue with people in public about it The best thing to do is to change the language on the on the on the books without telling anyone You could argue all you want, but they've changed the law that's essentially what happened in California Yeah, so you know that that's all we have to stay aware because And I'll just put it to you this way The reason why Democrats particularly the progresses of dangerous is because they're willing to change the laws To match their ideology. Yeah, Republicans on the other hand That's not always what's happening because there's different ideologies within the Republican party You got people who are really conservative financially for this country that does not always match up with Overall what what what the party's trying to accomplish It definitely doesn't match up with what the president just did by issuing these checks to military personnel 1776 dollars That's not what some people in the Republican party would agree with

16:38But see there's a more diversified thought on the right side of things versus on the left at that sense A few major shootings happened this week. Do you think it's a gun issue? Do you think it's a Mental health issue? Do you think it's religious like where do you put the blue light blame mostly? I I think I think the grand scheme of things um To solve this problem. It's a pie There are multiple pieces to a pie So the gun issue is not it that's not one of of of the pieces even if I gave them that just to throw them a bone That's not it, okay? What about the security measures on universities to begin with? I know this firsthand if you grow up in California All of the high schools elementary schools and middle schools are gated You can't just walk on to the campus. You got to check in At the universities. Why is there and I'm not asking for a military style base. Okay. I'm asking for entry points that are videotape 24-7 and then if you check in we know who's on campus

17:42Right that's how much that's for I mean he sounds like it if you're worth eight billion dollars If these universities are charging stomach a year for tuition, I think they get afforded exactly installing some extra cameras Exactly exactly, but what they will do is either one and these are obviously some Uh Things that are coming out that have not been truly confirmed by authorities But they say that these cameras were not recorded or they're refusing to release it because of who they believe the shooter Actually is which may be someone who's not an actual US citizen That comes out to be true. I wouldn't be shocked It kind of explained the level of incompetence But if we get back to the to the shootings Uh, I think mental health is definitely an issue. No question about it. I think the internet It's given a curse. There's an SSLRI link with a lot of these shootings. Exactly. Yeah Um, and I know our kid junior even talked about that But if you just think about what the internet can help someone become whether it's a positive or negative It doesn't take much for someone to become radicalized if you think about it

18:44Okay And so the mental health component is huge But the security part is huge too. I think they're just it just doesn't make sense that someone can Enter at least a main building maybe not even the Maybe not even the classroom, but just the main building or even the accident entry points of the property itself And you're not caught on camera. Yeah, that just doesn't make it Not at all. I mean, I went to Rutgers, which is a huge college in Jersey I could have easily walked in with a gun with without cameras catching me Exactly And here's the thing So this kind of, you know, why we're all here right because of Charlie I always uh, you know Challenge people to do something simple in their mind It is not hard to do what just happened It's not hard to do what happened to Charlie. You could get in your car today Go down to your local community college and tell me how hard would it be for you to get on the roof without being noticed Yeah, that's the crazy part. No change happened after all the you know exactly makes it really wander But but that's how vulnerable we can be as a nation

19:44Um, especially when we have people in our country who we may not even know who they are where they are Why they're here Which is why I do understand the the aggressiveness to get people out of our country because the betting process was not existed How do you think Trump's done so far with that with the ice raids with deportating with the self deportations overall? So I would say in a Um, I think on the border not that out of the park of course Um, I think that Obviously the public is not going to like what they see Because they're not doing the actual job right so a lot of people are going to see these clips and they're going to think Oh, well, what the heck you know, why did you for example Why would you deport a veteran who deployed Was injured receive the purple heart Why Well because the law states that if you're not in the country lawfully your subject to deportation That particular situation is what mainstream media will use to persuade public opinion

20:47The the issue is in that particular story That's a great example where politicians like people in congress should be doing their job Why didn't you guys make some type of amendment that if someone served in the military and particularly got deployed automatically They become a citizen Why why are we going to let someone go to go to go to war come back and still try to play around with the citizen It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense, right? So of course he's part of the people who get um, you know caught by dhs But he committed crimes There's so much more to his story My point is this about this entire situation What Joe Biden did was radical He did not enforce the law and he prevented people from enforcing a law So by the laws of the universe in my opinion here What is the Re-response a radical one right president trump is elected he goes into these neighborhoods He gets them out. It's radical yeah, but so was what Joe Biden did letting them be surprised at how radical this stuff looks

21:48It was just as radical it's not more radical by letting people into the country at the amount that they did So you know it's I can't expect the president to do anything differently Yeah, I would expect him to be pretty gone whole about this Now I just want to clarify something the difference between him and Obama is Obama did not have to go into the neighborhoods They caught them at the border right and deported them So the problem with the president is he has to actually go into neighborhoods sanctuary cities that don't want these people He has to be the bad guy right yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and then they'll film it and it's on the news and stuff exactly Right. Yeah, that's how it works. Yeah. What about the Elon Omar Sun getting pulled over by ice did you follow that story? I did I just talked about it I don't buy it But even if it was true, I don't think they were doing anything wrong Because ultimately We have people in the country illegally and it's not just a person skin color that is part of What they would call racial profiling there's other factors too And here's the other reason why I don't buy it is because if this did happen why didn't her son get a photo

22:53The name of the officer the location of where it took place right they got cams out exactly We've seen everything else that wouldn't that be what that happened the perfect clip For them to use right so where is it? Yeah, so we'll see maybe it'll come out maybe it won't but yeah That was kind of my reaction to it. Yeah, that's fishy. Yeah And she has bigger problems on her hands by the way besides her son in my opinion Yeah, you still hard on a OC. She's been pretty silent these days AOC is um Obviously going to have a big role in the future of the Democrat party Um, there's no question about that I think she represents the voter out there who does not believe in the current system as it stands And she even represents a voter who may not be aware today that they may potentially vote for someone like her in the future Because they just uh, I'll give you a great example people who just voted for Zaron Mondani There's a lot of people who didn't know they were going to do that. No, okay, but what choice did you give New Yorkers

23:59What did Eric Adams do exactly? No, sir. What I mean, I see that's the thing about both sides of the aisle if they keep jacking around We have a new generation here that I believe will do radical things. They will vote radical If capitalism doesn't work for Gen Z. What do you expect them to do exactly? Because what's going to start becoming attractive is socialism Well listen, I can't get by I can't buy a house. Hell cares expensive These people keep telling me the government will pay for it moving forward might as well do it We tried everything else. Yeah, so this is why common sense has to come back and we have to demand it So AOC is just a product of what's happening in politics and that that's just the way I see it Gen Z and millennials are struggling financially. You're right. Though capitalism is under attack. I believe yeah for sure It's a lot of people living day to day check by Chuck these days You know, I we talk about that on the show a lot and I'll just kind of share this really quickly here The number one lesson that I think Gen Z has to learn is

25:05Understanding this new economy and how simple it is for them to rise above inflation So for the older generations out there, it's going to be a little more difficult because they're caught in the old way of doing things So if I was 18 years today 18 years old my objective would be what skill can I develop? That will solve a problem that people want to pay for Okay, I give you a great example of that How many people who attended this event the big names are gonna fly in on private jets a lot of them a lot of them How many of those private jets need to be claimed and detailed all of them a lot That's a that's a very valuable skill time sensitive, right? Someone who's 19 years old 21 years old who can have enough confidence to speak and can develop a skill They can pay a lot of money. Yeah, yeah, you can make six figures of your all thought right and that's with your hands Okay, but wait there's also the virtual digital route like what you're doing when I'm doing yeah, you know, and so

26:09Gen Z is in a position where It's a paradox. There's never been a time in history Where it's easy to make a lot of money quick. Yeah, okay? If you think about it But it's also never been a time in history where it's just so much information so much noise out there What do I go true, right? So it's like a paradox. So I always tell people go back to the timeless principles They've got what you're great at figure out what skill you've developed go solve a problem. Yeah, I love them And it'll just kind of take care of itself from there great advice to thanks for that because I got a young audience I think they need to hear the yeah, absolutely.
