Alex (00:00):
Solving America’s Problems — Jerremy and Dave just sat down with Tyler Todt,
who dropped a stat that stops the roomcold: President Obama, the guy who
won the Nobel Peace Prize, ended updrone-striking and killing more people
than every previous president combined.
[thoughtful] Tyler was all-in on thathope-and-change wave back in college,

(00:20):
cast his first real vote fired up…then watched the promises collapse into
corruption, donor cash, and policies thathit exactly the opposite of what was sold.
He hasn’t voted for amajor-party candidate since.
[exhales sharply] Turns out the systemthat once felt like freedom now looks
to him — and millions of others — likea rigged game where the men in suits

(00:43):
write the script no matter who wins…

Jerremy (00:47):
Dave Conley.
What we chatting about today, my brother.

Dave (00:50):
In this week's episode of Solving America's Problems, we dive into how
political promises often shatter intodisillusionment, leaving voters picking
the lesser of two evils, while moneyfrom big donors owns the candidates.
It's a system where hope turns tohype and personal responsibility
becomes the real path forward.
Joining us is Tyler Tote, adedicated husband and father who's

(01:12):

guidance on mindset and vitality.
His own journey from earlypolitical excitement to seeing
through the corruption mirrorswhat so many face today.
And that's this week on solvingAmerica's problems from Obama.
Hope to voter dissolution, breaking thecycle of broken promises with Tyler tote.

Jerremy (01:37):
Voting in America right that's become a frustrating maze
of gerrymandered districts felonydisenfranchisement, hitting millions,
and technology vulnerabilitieslike deep fakes eroding trust.
With turnout, lagging, and institutionsfacing record low confidence, we're

(01:59):
left asking how did the ballotbox turn into a battleground?
And what bold fixes canturn apathy into action.
My name is Jerremy Alexander Newsom.

Tyler, welcome to the show.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: Ah, thanks so much Jerremy and Dave. (02:52):
undefined
It's an honor to be here, man.
Can't wait to chop it up with youguys and it should be a lot of fun.
So honored to be on man.

Jerremy (02:59):
Yeah, absolutely.
Tyler, what's your earliest memory ofvoting or maybe watching someone that
you love walk into a voting booth?

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: Yeah, so I can pretty vividly (03:09):
undefined
remember a couple things.
One, I was in fifth grade, Ibelieve, and my grandfather gave
me a couple of Bill Clinton tags.
And so I took him to school and I soldthem for a couple bucks and said, if
you want to be in the Clinton Club withme, I was always an entrepreneur, right?
I didn't even know who Bill Clintonwas or who he was running against, but
that was probably my earliest memory.

(03:30):
But then if you reallyfast forward to college.
I never followed politics oranything, and then I bought into the
whole Obama hope and change thing.
And I'd been disillusioned uptill that point by seeing that.
I don't know, a lot of people might comein and say they're gonna do these things.
Lot doesn't seem to happen.
Then there was this new guy that came inwho looked a little different, who spoke

(03:50):
a little different and who said, yeah,it's not gonna be business as usual.
There's not gonna maybebe as much corruption.
There's not gonna maybe be as muchas some of these other things.
And so I was actuallypretty on board for that.
That was the first time I voted.
And I really cared.
And at that time for betteror worse, I was a professional
poker player in college.
And I had heard Obama loves poker.
He's all for freedom, all this stuff too.

(04:10):
So there was a lot of reasonspushing me towards that.
But that was the first timeI was pretty amped about it.

Jerremy (04:16):
Yeah.
Whoa.
It makes sense.
It's also an age thing too, right?
As we get older, we start to.
Tuning in and checkingin and getting in there.
go back to the mostrecent vote that you had.
So we had a huge longestpresidential vote not that long ago.
And when you were stepping intothat polling place, what emotions
came up for you personally andhave they shifted over time?

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: Yeah, so you know, again, if I were (04:38):
undefined
to go back to that 20 years ago or 15years or whatever, when Obama was in.
become pretty disillusioned.
Then after I saw some of the, the guywins the Nobel Peace Prize and, but
he's drone struck and killed more peoplethan every other president combined.
So I started seeing some of this.
Oh, Obama loves poker.
Poker became illegal during his tender.

(04:59):
Like you could go playpoker legally in Iraq.
You could not in theUnited States of America.
And that was because of a very corruptcalled the Port Security Bill, where they
tack on a gambling thing because one ofhis biggest donors, Sheldon Anderson,
and I could really get into that.
But then I just became very disillusioned.
So to be honest, I didn't votefor a main candidate after that.
This year, I voted for third party people.

(05:20):
I was really into man, the twoparties are one and the same.
I believe since Citizens United, thatwas the biggest turning point where
just money can now, individual peopleor corporations can donate a hundred
million, 200 million, 400 to onecandidate and they just own the candidate.
So the candidate really hasto do whatever they say.
I don't know.
It seemed you're picking, you'realways picking the lesser of two evils.

(05:41):
Like when is the last time that you wentto the ballot box and you're fired up?
And you're like, man,this guy's gonna do it.
Maybe some people feelthat way about Trump.
I think most people overreact to Trump.
They either think he's likeHitler and Satan, or they think
he's the second coming of Jesus.
I tend to think he justfalls somewhere in between.
He does some good things.
He does some really dumb thingsthat, that's most people without

(06:03):
offending too many people.
I have testosterone in my body,so I couldn't vote for the left.
This time I felt like there's been anattack on men and masculinity and a
lot of those things from that side.
and so I, in good conscience,just couldn't vote for that.
But again I felt like I waspicking the lesser two evils when
I walked in, and made my decision.

Jerremy (06:25):
Yeah.
I've heard that so many timeswhen it comes to voting for the
president of the US very frequently.
I get, or I'll hearsomething to the extent of.
There's not many choices.
These are the only best two we can get.
This is it.

Dave (06:41):
In their

Jerremy (06:42):
all the people out there, these are the two.
I hear that often.
Yeah, it your story rings true, I thinkwith, I'm sure with so many other people.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: I think Jerremy, you and I went (06:50):
undefined
on a hike with a really cool otherguy, so there was three of us.
And

Jerremy (06:55):
Yep.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: I would guess that any one of (06:55):
undefined
us three you could probably putin, we'd be more morally sound.
I just think you could, I don't knowhow we get stuck with these candidates,
man, but maybe that's the point.
I don't know, because we saw likea very rigged primary, right?
Where Trump would've never won,to be honest, in 2016, Bernie
Sanders was probably gonnabeat him for better or worse.
And then all of a sudden you just saw theHillary Clinton, that machine come in,

(07:17):
Bernie sells out, gets his third mansion.
And you just see allthis corruption, right?
And so I don't know, maybe the wholething is corrupt and that disillusions me.
I think that disillusions a lot of people.
That's why, big part of mymessage is yes, I do vote.
I think it's important you wannahonor the people who fought for in the
past, and that you have the freedom.
it can feel almost like a, an illusion

Jerremy (07:39):
Mm-hmm.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242 (07:39):
of freedom, like no matter who you pick.
Putin had a pretty famous saying.
He said, I've been presidentthrough five of your presidents.
And trust me when I say the menin suits tell them what to do, no
matter who they are, the men insuits come and tell them what to do.
They campaign on all these promises.
They don't really get a choice, though.
the older I get, the more I tendto think he, there might be a lot

(08:00):
of truth in that, to be honest.

Jerremy (08:03):
That's fascinating, ma'am.
Yeah, I think what yousaid a moment ago about.
Hey, people fought and died for this.
This ability this privilege.
And even though we might notnecessarily be making a choice
that we know is gonna have a trueimpact, the fact that we should vote.

(08:23):
probably should just tryit, a situation, right?
So it's like an apathy, almost moreof an excitement where this is an
opportunity for me to really do something.
What's your general take,man on a day-to-day reality?
So voter ID requirements you big thing.
Like we should show voter id,should we be mailing in ballots?
Is there something better out there?

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242 (08:44):
Yeah, this seems like really easy to me, man.
It seems really funny that I don't know.
I go back to have you ever seen thatYouTube clip of like, where that one dude
goes down in the hood and he asks a bunchof black people like, do you have an id?
Because there's this really weirdnarrative that it's racist to show an
ID to vote and all of 150 black peopleand are like, yeah, of course I'll
have an ID man, like I'm a citizen.

(09:05):
I don't know, like you, you tofly on an airplane, you need an
ID to get a driver's license.
You need an ID to go buy a firearm.
You need an id.
It would just make sense thatyou would need an ID to vote.
I've never really understoodany I've never heard one
good reason why that's not.
A thing I've I know many black people andI've yet to meet one that says, man, it's
just, I go to the DMV and every time theytell me I'm black, I can't get an id.

(09:28):
Like I've never heard that in America.
Until I do, I just thinkit's a pretty simple thing.
We should have fair elections.
People should have confidence around it.
I don't think a lot ofpeople did after 2020.
and I just, don't understandwhy that wouldn't be a thing.
I think we should have a nationalholiday, it should be that Tuesday.
Everybody should be off the same way wehave Veterans Day, Memorial Day, whatever.

(09:51):
It should be, a nationalholiday, no school.
Because I do think thereprobably are some very nefarious
things where in certain areas.
Um, If people work and then they closethe polls at six, maybe you're gonna get
a certain demographic that might vote adifferent way that can't get down there.
So we should
Holiday.
Everybody should have a chance to go vote.
But yeah, man you needto show an ID like that.
That just seems very commonsense and very logical.

Dave (10:14):
We've brought this up now three times, like when we first started this and
I. It does seem like really basic, have anid and yet the data keeps on coming back.
Like millions of people don'thave an ID and I'm like, who are
these people we've come around to?
So I get the whole disenfranchise thing.

(10:34):
And I get how some peoplemight not have an id.
Maybe they were born someplace where theydon't have some source documentation.
They don't have, social security cards.
Maybe they don't, maybethey're homeless, right?
And they don't have these regular things.
And to everybody's point, it's to functionin today's society, you do need an id.

(10:55):
We've landed on this.
It's not a voting problem,it's an ID problem.
We need to really push, like making sureeverybody has an id, everybody can, get
a driver's license or something thatsays, Hey, like I'm in this this place.
Because even if things require an, IDsay getting social security benefits

(11:16):
or getting any kind of help, youneed an id and if you can show that
you have a utility bill, then okaythat's a step in the right direction.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: Yeah, I'd be all for any kind of program (11:24):
undefined
that if there are millions of people thatcannot get an id, again, I don't know
how you function in life without one.
Yeah I'm cool for making that.
I hate the word free'cause nothing's free.
It's gonna be our tax dollars.
Funding it.
But I'm okay with our tax dollars funding,helping and ensuring that every US citizen
has an ID or some form of documentation.

(11:45):
That seems, again basic and easy to do.
I'm just, I've met.
Tens of thousands of peoplein my life and I'm yet to meet
one who just can't get an id.
So I don't know where that comes from.
I'd really, I'd love to interviewthose people and learn and understand
why they can't, and then maybe if weunderstood why we could brainstorm
some solutions on how to, not

Jerremy (12:05):
Yeah.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242 (12:05):
that.
But again, I'm yet to meet anyone

Dave (12:07):
It's a lot of young people too.
So in the data, it's like a bunchof 18 year olds, a bunch of 19
year olds, they don't have IDs.
And I'm like, oh man, Icouldn't wait to start driving.
So it doesn't jive with me.
But I hear you.
It seems pretty basic to me.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: and maybe that, I don't know. (12:20):
undefined
I'd bring up a point on that and sayif you're 19 just too lazy to go get
one, but you have all the means to getit, maybe you don't get to vote then.
Because if you're too lazy to drivedown to the BMV to get an id, then I
don't really feel like you probablyare contributing a lot to society.
There's a couple argumentsto be made where.

(12:41):
If you're not paying taxes, if you'renot a landowner or a homeowner or
whatever, which I think that goestoo far, but I could almost say if
you're not paying any taxes and youdon't have any skin in the game,
should you really get to cast a vote?
And I don't know.
When I think about it from thatterm, I'm like we're voting because
look the government takes about50% of my income every year.
If you added up income, property, fuel,inheritance, capital gains, all the taxes,

Jerremy (13:05):
lot.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: Oh, it's a lot. (13:06):
undefined
It's a ton, right?
And I don't think they use all thosenecessarily very wisely, as we've seen
with Doge and some of these things, right?
But I do think if you're paying nothingand you have no skin in the game
at all, then becomes a big problemwhere you're just gonna vote for
whoever promises you the most stuff.
I'm gonna give you a free cell phoneand free housing and free this, and

(13:27):
free that, which really isn't free.
It's coming from thepeople that are paying.
then I think you get into a bigproblem where, one side kind of
promising all this free stuff,free college, free this, free that.
then you just have a whole segmentof people who don't really pay into
the system but are getting a lot out.
And now they're just basically, they'realways gonna vote this same way 'cause

(13:48):
they're promised a bunch of free stuff.
And I think that becomesa pretty big problem too.

Jerremy (13:53):
The two things I love and I think it's a very fun discussion.
I think Dave would, itmight have been you,

Dave (13:59):
Oh.

Jerremy (14:00):
it was okay, but I'm pretty sure it was you where you're like,
Hey, national Holiday, love that take

Dave (14:04):
Yeah.

Jerremy (14:05):
it should be,

Dave (14:05):
Yeah.
Yeah.

Jerremy (14:06):
That's really fun.
That's a great idea.
Seems really easy.
Yes.
To that one for sure.
And I believe.
The paying taxes let's dive intothat for just a quick hot second.
'cause that's fun.
What type of taxes, just off the topof your head, would you say could
qualify someone for the ability to vote?

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: Off the top of my head, (14:29):
undefined
any kind of income tax.
But I suppose if you're functioning insociety, you're already paying sales tax.
You're already paying fuel tax,you're already paying a lot of
these taxes, so that probably,qualifies like 90% of people.
I guess the problem, and I don'tknow maybe this isn't that big of
a problem, but the problem I seeright now is you do have maybe

(14:51):
not even that large of a segment,but a segment that's just promised
you get to go to college for free.
You get a cell phone for free, we'llgive you free housing, we'll give you
free food, don't ever work or anything.
And like I've personally known.
A couple like single moms who are stuck,but they're trying so hard to fight and
work and get their way out of this, andthen all of a sudden they learn that if
they do take that second job and worka little harder, now they don't get the

(15:15):
food benefits and the housing benefits.
So they're dis-incentivized to actuallywork harder to improve their situation,
but then they feel like I gottavote this certain way, or I do lose
all these quote unquote free thingsand I feel like you're just stuck.
I wish we had a better system thatjust rewarded people for working hard.
And again I don't, that's probablyway too complex for me to figure out

(15:36):
here, or any of us to figure out ina 30 minute, segment or whatever.
But it just seems to me like alot of people are stuck in that.
Like you almost can't earn above a littlelevel or you lose all that free stuff,
but then you have to keep voting thatway 'cause you get that free stuff.
Yeah.

Jerremy (15:50):
yeah, there.
There's something inherentlywrong with handouts.
One of my mentors always said weshould be giving hand ups not handouts.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: That's (16:00):
undefined

Jerremy (16:00):
to, to your point, like some type of level metric, right?
Where it's like, Hey, do this,accomplish this, have this.
But yeah, you, when you start makingtoo much money and then you get
punched in the face essentiallywhere now it's like a negative, like
a net negative to make more, youhave everything taken away from you.
That's the problem for in the beginning.

(16:21):
And so Dave, for us, I think at somepoint, one thing we haven't really
gone down yet is like that Medicare,medicaid, government benefits
essentially discussion on the podcast.
I think that'd be really fun tojust chit chat about that one.
Tyler how do you approach gatheringinformation before voting?
Because it also does soundlike number one, you care.

(16:42):
Duh.
Awesome.
Thanks for being a great American citizen.
Number two, my boy overhere is paying income tax.
You're paying fuels tax sales tax.
When you buy groceries, you'repaying all kinds of cool taxes.
Awesome job.
How are you getting your information?

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242 (16:55):
Man it sucks nowadays, and I think this is

Jerremy (16:57):
Information?

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242 (16:59):
I,

Jerremy (16:59):
dude says it sucked and it
Sucked.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: crazy though, man. (17:01):
undefined
You can watch the news and just soclearly see how much they lie to you.
I think anybody watching like Fox News,C-N-N-M-S-N-B-C, like you should just
know these are entertainment shows.
These are not news shows.
They don't just go out, gatherinformation and report it so that
you can think what you think.
They are owned by a certainsegment of people push narratives.

(17:25):
They will only report on those narratives.
and they'll find the news thatthey want a really I can give you
a thousand examples of this, right?
But we probably all see 'em ifyou're a thinking human being.
So that becomes really hard.
If I can't get my news from there,and I think it was different back in
the day when Walter Cronkite came out,you hear some of these people relive,
then he just presented what happenedand you got to make your own choice.

(17:46):
Of how you saw it.
I don't think that's theway the news works anymore.
So then you go to social mediaand you go to some of these other,
people, but you have to understandthat they have incentives as well.
what's the incentive?
In today's world, it's clicks, man.
I've got a quarter million followerson x, I could have 250 million if
I probably just tweeted nonsense.
Like some of these otheraccounts breaking news.

(18:08):
And you make things up, and then you'llsee a couple hours later a community
note, oh, that's actually not true.
But by then the guy's gone viraland he's gotten all the money in the
clicks and we've incentivized somekind of to be first instead of Right.
And we've incentivized forthis hyper political of like.
All you really have to do to grow onsocial media now is just attack one side.

(18:29):
If I really wanted to grow on socialmedia, I could either say Trump is
the greatest thing in the world.
Trump is the most evil thing in the world.
And just find narratives everyday, which you could to just go
a hundred miles an hour at that.
And that's where we fall.
And it's crazy because even if youlook at my feed versus my wife's
feed, our social media stuff,it's completely different news.
A

Dave (18:49):
Yeah.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: hundred percent completely. (18:50):
undefined
They filter news to a female.
hundred percent, man.
They filter news to a female differentthan they're gonna filter it to a male.
It's a really challenging thing, man.
I have a couple people that I probablyjust trust and think that they
really try and do the right thing byputting the right information out.
But a lot of this man, it isgetting really hard to tell

(19:12):
what's real, what's not.
I tend to take a few dayswhen any story comes out.
isn't really like super news, but didyou guys see like the Phillies game where
that lady ran over and stole the ball?

Jerremy (19:22):
Yes, and I loved your take on it too.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: but I didn't comment for three days. (19:24):
undefined
'cause I'm like, okay, numberone, did this really happen?
Is this right now?
I always give things a couple daysto make sure that it's like real,
and I think, man, that's onlygonna get worse as AI gets better.

Dave (19:37):
Yeah.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: That's gonna be tough. (19:37):
undefined
So I think you gotta finda couple trusted sources.
That are usually on Substackor X or something like
that's not traditional media.
They're not owned by certain people.

Jerremy (19:48):
Yeah.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: Go on both sides too, because it's, (19:48):
undefined

Jerremy (19:50):
yeah.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: everything that Trump does is great. (19:51):
undefined
I don't trust them.
Somebody who says everything, Trump,if you can't name, I, that's my test.
I always ask people when

Jerremy (19:58):
Good call.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: political. (19:58):
undefined
I'm like, if they hate Trump, I'mlike can you tell me a couple things?
He is done well, and if they can't, I'mlike I disregard everything you think.
Everything.
And for the people that are all inTrump, I'm like can you name a couple
things that you think he doesn't do well?
And if they can't I'm done with them.
They're completely like anythingthey say is gonna be skewed.
And so I want people that fall in themiddle that are looking for truth,

(20:21):
that are just presenting facts.
But that's getting harderto find, to be honest.

Dave (20:25):
How.
How much does your own moralcompass play into this?
If things are getting harder to discern?
And I totally agree with that, right?
The people that I'm starting to listento more and more are the ones that
say, oh, I got this wrong, right?
They're willing to be like, uhoh, I gottaken, or, this was not the right take.
Tell me about your moralcompass and how that plays into

(20:48):
how you discern information.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: I think that's such a great point (20:50):
undefined
and I respect people so much that canadmit, when new information comes in,
it's okay to say I had this one wrong.
Those are the people Ithink we should all follow.
And I think that's a greatpoint for my moral compass.
The first thing I'll sayis I think that too often.
If people are like, oh man, you votedfor Trump in 2024, so you agree with,

(21:11):
and then they list all the things thatI probably don't like that he does,
or he said, or he, it's no, like Ijust picked the lesser of two evils.
So it's understanding that for meif someone voted for Kamala, maybe
they just thought she was gonna doa better job in a couple areas that
they cared about more than I did.
I might have voted the other way'cause I just thought a couple.
It doesn't mean you align with everythingthey've ever done, everything they've ever

(21:33):
said and we're, we get in these camps nowwhere it's oh, you have to either be over
here or over there when I believe most ofus are like in this, 90% in the middle.
We're not in these fringe 10 percents.
So I

Jerremy (21:44):
Yeah.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: an understanding of that now if (21:45):
undefined
I peel back the moral compass.
The thing it's really hard.
'cause again, I don't probably feel like.
candidates represent me.
I'm a Christian Guy.
Faith leads my life.
wouldn't leave my kids alone with the nineof the last 10 presidents or presidential
candidates, if I'm really honest.

(22:06):
I don't think I would, and so domorally, I think that, they're
gonna align with everything.
I think probably not.
And I think you just have tohave an acknowledgement of that.
And again, pick the bestof your choice, but.
I'll even say this to, to probablyget to those levels where you
think, imagine how craz this is.
I just Jerremy, you're one ofthe smartest guys I've ever met.
I bet you're too smart to say,dude, I have all the answers

(22:29):
and I could run the world and Icould do a perfect job and I'll

Jerremy (22:32):
I can't say that.
Yeah, can't say that.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: really think about it, that's (22:34):
undefined
what the candidates are saying.
Nobody's better to run the world.
Make these decisions than me.
You've gotta have a really crazy ego,even to think that I think you're probably
not gonna align with most normal people.
'cause if you ask me,do you want this job?
I'm like, no, I don't want the stress.
No, I don't think I could do it.
No.
I, like I would just need to prayconstantly to try and ask for wisdom and

(22:57):
discern I don't think I'd be qualified.
And I think 99% of the normalpeople probably think that.
Then when you get a Trump or aKamala or a Clinton or a Bush or
whoever these people are, they'relike, yes, I have all the answers.
I can do it.
Like you probably need to have someacknowledgement that they're not gonna
be thinking like most rational, normalpeople to even get to those levels.
And I think you can see that inany industry, not just politics.

(23:20):
Jordan, greatest basketball player ever.
Sorry, LeBron.
But man, that dude, his roommatebeat him in checkers in college.
He didn't talk to him for two weeks.
There's legendary stories, like to be thebest, you gotta be a little bit crazy.
Steve Jobs look at him.
He thought he could beat cancer bymental toughness and eating fruit.
He just had.
This different kind of mindsetand I think to get to the very 1

(23:44):
0 0 0 1%, you have to have that.
So I think we gotta peel that backand acknowledge that just 'cause you
vote a certain way doesn't mean youalign with everything they think.
You just have to have a moralframework and say, what's
the best option for me here?

Jerremy (23:57):
Yep.
Agreed man.
At some point really what you'redescribing, I would label as
the majority of individuals.
'Cause you're talking aboutlike that massive center.
And it is interesting that we can'ttruly, or at least we haven't in
a very long time, to my currentknowledge, had a president, to your
point that was like, Hey I'm justtrying to figure all this stuff out.

(24:20):
Don't really know the answers.
Not entirely sure.
So I'm just gonna havea really good cabinet.
I'm gonna have some great advisors.
I'm gonna have somegreat people on my team.
I'm gonna have a lot of individuals helpme and just discuss and allow everything
to work out for my best benefit.
Let's do this together.
Let's figure this stuff out together.
It seems like we should.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242 (24:40):
Bro.
How refreshing would that be,

Jerremy (24:42):
Yeah, it'd be nice.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: I'm, I've been waiting for a (24:43):
undefined
candidate to literally come upand say exactly what you said.
I don't have the like to even asksome crazy question about some.
Complex issue and just belike, here's my initial take.
But I would really need to study this moreand find people that are smarter than me.
And, I probably I've changedthe way I think about things.
All smart people do.
So what's crazy to me is like they'llbring something up from 15 years ago

(25:05):
and say why did you vote this way?
And they entrench.
Even though all the data might showthat it was wrong and it like the
Iraq war, like it's probably okayat this point to say, yeah, I voted
for it back then because I believedthey had weapons of mass destruction.
But now if I could go back withthe information I had, I was wrong.
Here's what I've learned from this.
Here's what

Jerremy (25:24):
Yeah.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: about it. (25:25):
undefined
I would

Jerremy (25:26):
Yeah.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: person a hundred percent of the time. (25:26):
undefined
That's my biggest problem probably withpolitics today, is that nobody will,
I don't see anybody doing that and
A pretty frustrating thing.

Dave (25:35):
Yeah, it was Kennedy in this last round and Sanders back in 2016.
Those were the only twopoliticians I have ever heard.
Say, oh, I got that wrongand I've changed my mind.
That was it.
I'm down with what you're saying,which is like humility is a
part that is missing for us.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: You respect that a lot. (25:51):
undefined
And I probably don't agree with a lotof the Bernie Sanders policies, but I
will say I've heard him in long form onRogan a couple times and I do agree, I
think he's a pretty good human who mightactually believe in some of the things
he is saying and has admitted he's wrong.
And I do respect that a lot, man.
I think a guy like that I would bemore inclined to vote for than again,

(26:12):
just a. Fill in the blank from a lot ofthe last people we've had who've never
made a mistake in their entire life.
And if you try and tell themthey have, they'll just attack
you to full nuclear till no end.

Dave (26:23):
Yeah.

Jerremy (26:23):
Yeah hey man, again, being a dad, a great dad by the way.
I'll throw it out there.
I,

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: one man. (26:30):
undefined

Jerremy (26:30):
yeah, bro you do extremely well.
Great dad, great husband, great mentorto so many other people out there.
Picture an ideal voting systemfor a moment for your kids,
grandkids, the whole squad, right?
would it look and feeldifferent from today?

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: That's a great question. (26:50):
undefined
I've thought about this a little bit, man.
So number one, I think we nailed it andthey should listen to us and they should
change national policy and we should havenovember 8th should be just a holiday.
It's a Tuesday.
are open at 6:00 AM They don't closetill 8:00 PM and it's a national holiday.
There's no school, families havecookouts and picnics, and it's just
a, Hey, we're electing leaders today.

(27:11):
That's what we do.
So I think that's number one.

Jerremy (27:13):
Right on.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: I think every candidate should have a (27:14):
undefined
budget and it should be the same budget.
So you shouldn't just get to be abillionaire and be able to outspend it.
I read in non presidential races.
So we're talking about that one.
I think you can getaway with spending less.
'cause you get so much media coverage,especially if you're like a Trump
and you can get free media coverage.
'cause you're, you just saythings, you know how to do that.

(27:34):
But in the local races and not thepresidential, it's who spends more money
wins something like 92% of the time.
So you're just looking at it's just money.
And so we've gotta even that playingfield and just say, you shouldn't just
be able to buy a seat in congress.
And then go in and you see these peoplethat go in that they're worth $6 million
and then they come out of Congress 10years later, they've made 170,000 a year,

(27:57):
but they're somehow worth $237 million.
Yeah.
Really weird.
And so we've

Jerremy (28:03):
They're great at poker.
They're very good at poker.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: maybe they're just great man. (28:05):
undefined
I don't know.
They never make a bad bet.
But I think you gotta get money out.
And so I think in today's day andage, this would be such an easy fix to
say every candidate gets will cap it.
For a Senate race, you get $2 millionto spend everyone, for a house.
You get 2 million.
For local, you get a hundred thousand.
What we could do is every candidatethen could have their own website and

(28:29):
everybody could have access to this,and they could show their voting record.
just very clearly lay out whattheir plans are for the future.
They could do some long form podcastswhere they get in depth about what they
want to do to fix it, and that's it.
every citizen can go on and say,okay, here's my choices in this.
It's not just whose name I'veheard or who's on the most
billboards or who, I don't knowhow people pick, but I go to vote.

(28:52):
I didn't even vote for certain people.
I've never heard of them.
Even when I try and do someresearch, it's so confusing.
But it's I think this could be so welllaid out that if you're a candidate,
you just have your own website.
Maybe they're all on a, on the samegovernment website, so everybody
has access to it and everybodyhas a capped amount you can spend.
So you cannot just spend, what did theKamala Harris campaign spend this year?

(29:15):
Wasn't it a billion?

Dave (29:16):
Hundred.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: It's like the craziest amount, and that's (29:17):
undefined

Dave (29:18):
Yeah.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: Say that Trump probably didn't spend (29:19):
undefined
a crazy amount too, but it's like, notfix the infrastructure and the veterans'
rights and the homelessness and that?
Like why not put some of thatmoney towards actual things
that'll help the citizens,healthcare and these things, right?
Mental health instead of.
We're spending billions of dollarsevery year for people campaigning.

(29:39):
That just seems ludicrous to me intoday's day and age where we, 99% of
us have access to the internet and theycould just show, here's how I voted.
Here's what I plan to do.
Here's my marketing pitch to you.
Here's the other candidate you decide.
It seems like it could be that easy.

Jerremy (29:55):
That's, yeah, makes sense.
You said really, you said let'sget money out of the system.
That's what I heard you say in the senseof we've gotta do a better job of that.
The challenge is that people that arecurrently in the system and entrenched
aren't, that's how they're makingall their money from insider trading.
And so they really don'twant that to happen.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: Yeah, you're gonna have a hard (30:16):
undefined
time convincing them that's not a
It's, if you really go back again it'sthat law that got passed, citizens
United, where it said any corporationcan act as an individual and donate
unlimited amounts to politicians.
This is where everything changed.

Jerremy (30:29):
Yeah.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: if I'm just the CEO of the (30:30):
undefined
largest bank in the US right?
I say to a politician,man, I'll get you elected.
So here's $50 million.
But when you get in, you have tovote this certain way in my interest.
And by the way, we'll give yourson a board seat at my bank and
he'll make $6 million a yearto show up to four meetings.

(30:50):
And by the way, when you retire fromthis spot, we got a board seat for you.
And by the way, we'll let youknow when our stock's gonna, when
we're gonna do a stock split.
So you can, and then most of thesepeople that might even go in with
good intentions wanting to help.
Now all of a sudden, man, maybe it'sa very immoral thing they need to vote
for, that's really gonna oppress people.
Dude, it's $50 million in boardseats and all, like most of those

(31:11):
people just make that choice.
And if you don't get that out, Ithink you're just gonna see this
cycle of maybe people go in withgood intentions, maybe people do.
But man, when you're presented withthat kind of stuff, the average
person is just gonna take themoney and justify it in their head.

Jerremy (31:27):
Yeah, so here's a good one, man.
Drawing from your coaching on mindsetshifts, 'cause you would classify
yourself definitely as a mindset coach.
What are.
Habit changes that couldhelp everyday people engage
more effectively with voting.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: The biggest one I that I haven't brought (31:47):
undefined
up yet, and this is how I think youjust stay sane in our world today,
is I did it right before I hopped on.
I take three or four minutesevery morning and I journal out
a few things I'm grateful for.
And look, we've talkedabout some negative stuff.
There's too much money in politics.
Some taxes are high, some of these things.
But if we're really honest andwe peel it back, we live in an

(32:08):
amazing country, in an amazing time.
The average US citizen, even wholives at the mean lives better than
kings and queens did, for all of humanhistory, basically, like we're so
fricking blessed to live where we are.
Can it be better and shouldwe strive for better?
Of course.
But man, if all of us listening here, justtake a couple minutes today and think.

(32:28):
How blessed am I?
Dude, I can go in a showerand I, it's climate controlled
and I just have ample food.
I don't have warring tribes that arecoming to invade my home generally,
and it hasn't been as easy as it'sbeen throughout all of human history
up until, the end of World War ii.
We've lived in relativepeace if you're in America.
And so we've had a couple generationsof just prosperity in good times

(32:49):
and that if you look back at humanhistory, that's not the case usually.
So I think coming at itwith a frame of gratitude.
say gratitude.
You cannot be grumpy andgrateful at the same time, and
so it's easy to be grumpy, man.
If I spend 30 minutes reading aboutpolitical scandals and corruption
and all that, I can be pretty grumpy.
My tax dollars are going for this, right?

(33:09):
I can get in that mindset.
And I think the antidote to that isjust by practicing gratitude every day.
do this with, by myself.
I do this with my kids.
What are we grateful for today?
School sucked, dad.
Okay.
Tell me the best thing about it, right?
Let's shift that mind from what wemight lack to what we're blessed by.
And so I think that's probablythe ultimate hack I have.
I think today is like 2,358 dayin a row or something like this,

(33:33):
that I've practiced gratitudeevery morning without fail.
writing a few things down I'm gratefulfor, and praying over and thinking about
those things just sets my mind on that.
So that, man, I'm notjust stuck in traffic.
And this sucks.
I'm blessed, I have a car I can turnon a cool podcast and listen to you
guys, and like there's always blessingsand always good things you can find.

(33:54):
So I think coming at it fromthat frame is very important.

Jerremy (33:57):
Yeah, man, because that's a mindset shift for the listeners,
my knowledge, to my experience,or to my recollection, you have.
Something that you focus on and whatyou focus on is what's gonna bring
the most energy towards your life.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242 (34:12):
Yes.

Jerremy (34:12):
So if you do focus more of your energy and bandwidth
on negative things, negativefeelings, outcomes, I'm in traffic.
Traffic sucks.
I hate traffic, I hate this.
This is awful.
You're going to have morenegativity in your life 'cause
you're focusing on negativity more.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: That's right. (34:29):
undefined

Jerremy (34:30):
And those negative aspects can be anything.
It can be bank accounts, it can be.
Sicknesses.
It can be familydisturbances, it can be there.
There's, it can trickle down into awild amount daily meteorites mentally
that continue to pummel you becauseyou're always focusing on negative.

(34:53):
But to your point, you startswitching over to gratitude.
I can hear you say this, even if youvoted for someone and they did not win.
You would be very in that camp of,Hey, I, I still have a great house.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242 (35:07):
yeah.

Jerremy (35:07):
a great family.
I have a great body.
I love that person.
Even though I might not agree withall their beliefs, you could still
have gratitude towards a president

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: Absolutely (35:18):
undefined

Jerremy (35:18):
entirely different camp than you as well.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: hundred percent. (35:21):
undefined
Man, this is such a great point.
I'm glad you bring it up.
My daughter is in fifth grade thisyear, but when the election was going
on, they were doing mock elections,I think, to teach the kids, how
the voting system works and all.
And so my daughter came to me and saiddad what's gonna happen if Trump wins
or what's gonna happen if Kamala wins?
I don't think she expected the answer.
My answer was, we're stillgonna go to church every week.

(35:42):
We're still going to eathealthy and be healthy.
We're still gonna make moneyand be wealthy and prosperous.
We're still gonna have a loving home.
Your mom and I are gonna be madly in love.
We're gonna love you guys.
Like absolutely nothing isgonna change in your life.
You need to understand that, and I alwayssay this, and I think you make the,
probably the best point of this wholepodcast so far is that the president is
maybe gonna change your life a percentageor two if you're in the high end.

(36:07):
Who's the presidentfor the average person.
Now, I'm not saying if maybe you're afringe person out here and they made
a law that shuts down your business.
I'm not saying that never happens, right?
For 98% of us that are in the UnitedStates, of the 360 million people, your
daily actions and habits and your mindsetand what you do every day is gonna affect

(36:27):
your life more than whoever sits in theOval Office, whoever represents you,

Jerremy (36:32):
Come on.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242 (36:33):
Yeah, man if Kamala Harris is president right
now, you know what I'd be doing right now?

Jerremy (36:38):
Thing you're doing.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: the same thing with Brandon. (36:38):
undefined
It, it really is man.
And maybe certain policiesmight shift this way.
Might be paying a little moretaxes over here, or maybe I'd be
doing a little better over here.
I don't know.
Who knows the dominoeffect of all this stuff.
But I think it's important tosay and to tell my daughter
and to even tell yourself.
It doesn't matter.
At the end of the day, you should govote because you have that, right.

(36:59):
People have fought in blood forthat, but at the end of the day, also
you should root for whoever wins.
I think this is like a sicknessand a really weird thing, man.
And it happens on both sides.
Like I, I don't wanna, we don't need toget in the weeds, but I think everybody
saw Joe Biden wasn't really with ittowards the end, and man, I mean there
was people just saying hope the guy dies.

(37:19):
I hope his son dies.
I hope, and then you see with Trump, likehe almost gets shot in the face and people
are like, oh, I wish he just didn't miss.
And it's man, I feel like if you'recoming from that spot in your heart,
where you're gonna operate from everyday, I don't care who the president
is, you're not gonna be successful.
You're gonna, you're poisoned.
if you let politics capture you inthat way where you're like wishing

(37:40):
harm to other human beings and youhate 'em so much that you'll again.
That's my test.
If you're smart, if you hate Trump,but you can't admit he did a couple
things Well, or you hate Biden, butyou can't admit he did a couple things.
You're just not that smart.
And if he's driving the ship, I'mnot rooting for the ship to sink
'cause we're all on the ship,

Jerremy (37:58):
we're all on the ship.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: But it seems like we have a, at least (38:00):
undefined
a quarter, a third of the population.
It's like that now.
And I think if you're in that camp andyou're listening to that, I would just
challenge you to peel that back and saymaybe you don't like Trump as a person,
maybe I don't certainly agree witha lot of the things he says or does.
It's like he'll attack RosieO'Donnell at 3:00 AM on Twitter.
I just, I don't know why, like you'rethe most powerful guy in the world.

(38:21):
Like I probably wouldn't choose to do thator some of the policies or things he says.
But at the same time, man, how doesthat really affect my life today?
I can still go to the gym,I can still work hard.
I can still love my kids.
I can still do all those things.
You have to acknowledge that yourlife is a sum of your decisions.
That's the number one thing.
Whoever's in office, they'regonna do what they're gonna do.

(38:43):
And I'm not saying to just completelyignore it, but I am saying to your
point too, Jerremy, if you just sitthere and focus on everything Trump
does and how much you hate it, dude,you're not gonna live a good life.
to be honest, we've never had a timewhere 2025, almost 2026 now, where
there's endless resources to learn.
Gain knowledge and gain money and gain,like it's, if you would've told somebody

(39:03):
a couple hundred years ago, you could justhave access to the smartest people in the
world for free, and you can learn from it.
But yet many people will spend a fewhours a day complaining about politics
or whining about this or that when theycould just a hundred x of their life by
just learning new skill sets and goingand implementing those from smart people
and their health and fixing some oftheir relationships and things like that.

(39:26):
And so that's a harder thing to do.
It's much easier to just whineabout if only this person was
president, my life would be better.
But where does that get you?
And I

Jerremy (39:35):
Right.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: comes back to that personal (39:36):
undefined
responsibility and ownership of your life.
It doesn't matter who the president isfor me, my family's gonna be successful.
I would guarantee both ofyou men are in the same boat.
Doesn't really matter, man,whoever gets, if it's JD Vance,
Gavin Newsom, name, a name.
We will all find a way to be healthy,wealthy, thriving, doing well, because
that's who we're, that's what, that'sthe decisions we're gonna make, right?

(39:58):
And I think if more peopleapproach life like that would
actually be the best thing ever.
For families, for economies,for, like, how can I be the
best husband, the best dad?
How can I make more money?
How can I be healthier?
How can I impact my community?
How can I do these if I put alot of, that's why I put 99%
of my energy into those things.
Then sure, I'll put a percent or twointo who I'm gonna vote for with the

(40:20):
acknowledgement that it's probablynot gonna change my life that much.

Dave (40:23):
So given your large community, hundreds of thousands of people
have sought you out and havechanged their lives, and they're
affecting millions of people.
How do we help people that are inthose dark places of rooting for

(40:43):
somebody else to fail of rootingfor the death of other people?
That's a really dark place.
How do we help them?

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: that's a great question. (40:51):
undefined
I hate to say it, but somepeople I'm not sure you can.
I think you can ask questions andyou can be kind you can be loving.
I'm a real big, like personalchoice and personal ownership and.
person's gonna make their decisions.
I even tell my kids this, man Iwant my kids to be so successful
more than anything in the world.
I would root for my kids, but I tell 'emall the time, it's gonna be your choices.

(41:14):
Dad can't be there every minute ofthe day to make sure you're getting
up and thinking the right thing,putting the right things in your
mind and doing these things right?
And yeah, we can show a better way.
And it's like that old saying,you can lead a horse to water.
You can't make 'em drink.
had people who have literally comeon my Twitter page and trolled me
for three or four years straight,literally you're an idiot.

(41:37):
You're a this or that.
And then after something clicked in'em four years later where they're
like, man, I just wanted to say sorry.
And thanks.
I'm really starting to do thisgratitude stuff and I see it
makes a, or this or that, right?
And so I go back to the guy thatI follow, man who was killed
a couple thousand years ago.
Jesus.
one of my favorite stories of him is hefinds this rich, young ruler and the guy

(41:59):
says to him, how do I have eternal life?
And Jesus says, it's real easy, man.
You're doing all the right things.
Just go sell your stuffand come follow me.
And it says, the guy was really sadbecause he had a lot of stuff, he
didn't wanna sell it, what I see fromthat is Jesus said, okay, he went
on his way, he went on his mission.
It was like the next one.
He was gonna preachthe gospel to the next.
What he didn't do is tell theguy all the reasons he was wrong.

(42:20):
Follow him for months and yellat him and tell him he was
stupid and try and convince him.
He just presented, he showed a betterway and he kept on his mission.
And what I look at when I, seeeven knowing a guy like Jerremy.
Your mission is so evident, man.
You impact so many people,you make their lives better.
man there's gonna be people that see youand probably, oh, that guy's a scammer.

(42:43):
That guy's a, I'm sure you get it.
I get it.
I got called a grifter 'causeI tried to get people to walk.
I'm like, how am I making moneyoff telling you to hit a certain
amount of steps every day?
But there's some people thatare just stuck in this mindset.
And I think, again, you lend a hand.
You offer to show them a better way.
You relentlessly be kind and positive,but it's an acknowledgement that

(43:03):
every single person has to take agencyand ownership of their life until
some people are ready to do that.
I hate to say it, butyou cannot help them.

Jerremy (43:11):
And what's interesting, man, is I think, again, my ultimate belief,
one of my ultimate perspectives.
This message, the one that youare sharing, you just shared,
we are kinda sharing today.
is the one that we need from the top down.
That's the message that we need tohear in the media Often and as much

(43:31):
as Tony Robbins has tried and MarmWilliamson has tried, and Alan Watts
and Earl Nightingale, Les Brown, ReneBrown, Leslie Nichols, as much of these
individuals have tried, we haven'thad anyone in that very prominent seat
and the prominent power in government.
To really say those words, and that'sprobably one of my biggest dreams

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242 (43:56):
Man

Jerremy (43:57):
to be that mouthpiece or to be in a position where we can get
individuals together and we can justpour light into them and pour awareness
and these tiny little mental shiftswhere we can collaborate together and
simply say, this is where we're going.
This seems like the best idea overall.

(44:18):
We did go to the moon in the late sixties'cause Kennedy was like, Hey, guess what
we're doing guys, the whole country?
Guess what we're doing?
Stop playing baseball.
what we're doing.
Almost right.
Just really a massive singular focus if wegot this country singularly focused from
the top down on health, on vitality, onpositive mindset, on an abundance mindset,

(44:43):
on a helping and collaboration mindset.
We would not only change the entirelegacy of the country, but we would
start shifting the entire approach ofthe world because obviously I think
America is that beacon for so many otherindividuals, other countries, other
places, that's how we can create anabsolute spark of hope and joy and peace.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: Man that, that fires me up even thinking (45:06):
undefined
about it, like how refreshing wouldthat be if you just had leaders like
instead of tweeting every day, likeGavin Newsom's Scum, and then Gavin
Newsom tweeting, Trump is an idiot.
How great would it be if like ourleaders were just like uplifting people?

Jerremy (45:22):
Yep.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: Oh and just like promoting (45:22):
undefined
that kind of positivity.
You mentioned JFK Man, and I recentlyread a pretty good book called
Profiles Encouraged by JFK and yeah,man he's the last one I looked to.
He admitted he was wrong with Bay of Pigs.
And he was in my mind, and maybe I'mwrong here, but one of the last leaders
to do a lot of those things you weresaying, and, see what happened to him.

(45:43):
Some people

Jerremy (45:45):
Yeah.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: that and where (45:45):
undefined

Jerremy (45:46):
Yep.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: that was going. (45:47):
undefined
And pretty dark if youthink of it from that lens.
I thought the other day like.
If a politician was to come andpreach on personal responsibility
now, they'd just be laughed out.
Laughed.
Like JFK was like, it's not what yourcountry can do for you, it's what you can
do for your, like that kind of message.
And he was a Democrat.
Imagine if a guy from the leftcame in saying that right now.

(46:08):
What can you do for your country?
Let's pick yourself up andlet's work hard and let's, dude
they wouldn't even get to the,

Jerremy (46:13):
Yep.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: way they'd even be considered. (46:13):
undefined
but it's yeah, I feel like we doneed a shift in that kind of energy.

Jerremy (46:19):
We do, man.
We definitely do.
All right how about this?
Let's just lightning round potentially.
What's one rule the American governmentcurrently that just baffles you?
Like how is this even.
Old Eagle.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: I mean that we don't investigate, (46:39):
undefined
representatives for coming intooffice 2.1 million and exiting
worth 440,000,014 years later.
And where does the money come from?
You shouldn't be able toinside or trade and do it.
I get arrested Jerremy if me andthe CEO of a company and he tips

(47:00):
us off that they're gonna go publicin this certain time, or there's
gonna be a stock splitter and we buythe stock and we make $10 million.
We are gonna go to prison

Jerremy (47:08):
Yeah.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: Martha Stewart Prison where you (47:08):
undefined
just play yoga, you're gonna go toprison and guys like us probably
wouldn't farewell there, and

Jerremy (47:14):
Yep.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242: there's a massive incentive for us. (47:14):
undefined
To not steal and cheat andinsider trade and do those things.
There's no incentive forthese people to not do this.
There's none.
The one that baffled my mind that gotpassed a few years ago was they added
a bunch of IRS agents and then Congressmade it exempt for them to be audited.
So they added like 70,000 IRS agents.

(47:36):
And you can check this, but thiswas like, think four or five years
ago, and then they made it exempt.
So you could, they cannot be audited.
House of Representatives are congressmen,and I'm like, you're basically just
telling everybody we're super corrupt,we're stealing, we insider trade, we
steep, we cheat, we steal, but also youcan't look at us that just blows my mind.
That's like a thing.
And that we, the peopleare just like cool with it.

(47:57):
I guess that's fine.
Like that's pretty,that blows my mind, man.

Jerremy (48:01):
Yeah, that one's a big one.
That one's a big one.
That would be, it doesn't, it's not votingspecifically related, but if I had a
magic wand, that's certainly one aspect ofsenators, representatives, congresspeople.
Like you can't buy individual stocks.
That's obviously the most illegal thing.
You are working directly with not onlythe laws that create more wealth or less

(48:23):
wealth for individual companies, butyou're talking to the CEOs and making
what's either gonna make that companymore viable or less viable, and they are
getting shares and opportunities, right?
Nancy's it's not me.
I'm not making the trades.
My husband is doing it.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242 (48:39):
Yeah

Jerremy (48:40):
so n now that I'm not saying they can't invest, right?
Absolutely.
Investments a broader market.
ETFs, you can do that all day,but your mind to the Fs and P
500, we don't want anyone to gobroke, but into individual names.
Yeah, that one is just almost a, it'snot almost, it's a head scratcher.
Huge head scratcher.

Dave (48:58):
Or three words, conflict of inter.
Do all of your shenanigans.
Like fine.
There's gonna be that,but you can't vote on it.
You can't accept money on it.
If you accept money from somebody, thenyou don't get to vote on those things.
That seems really basic.
When it gets down to it,it doesn't feel fair.
And like you guys have kids, and I'm sureyou've heard it, for years and years.

(49:20):
That's not fair.
But there is a basic fairnessin the American spirit.
That is if it doesn't matter for you, butit matters for me, then that's just wrong.
Like you don't get to have your ownspecial courts or your own special rules.
It's the Epstein stuff, like you mightget wrapped around the axle about it

(49:43):
specifically, but that's not the point.
The point is it feels like that there'sthis whole group of people where the
rules don't matter, the laws don'tmatter, and it's if you're leading,
we want you to be super citizens.
Like you should have extralaws, not fewer laws.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242 (50:00):
Yeah.
When it's rules for the, notrules for me, the not for me.
Yeah.
I think that's a big problem.
And I think that was reallyhighlighted during COVID too, right?
Where you would see these peopleflying in their private jets to
have parties with their elite peoplewhile telling you're a grandma
killer and you can't see your family.
And like that was just crazy.
I do think that, the more theysqueeze and the more people see that.

(50:23):
Which we are, the more pushback there is.
And I just wonder when thatpoint will happen, when people
are like, enough's enough.
Like enough is enough.
Like we've got to do something about this.
'cause it is really wild, man, that whenyou see the money that some, and it's
on both sides, like Nancy Pelosi's kindof poster child for it, but man, you
can look at both sides of RepublicanDemocrat and that's why I think one
and the same almost in a lot of ways.

(50:45):
us fighting over these socialissues all the time, while all of
them just continue to make tens ofhundreds of millions of dollars.
as long as we're all down herefighting over these social issues,
they just get to keep doing it.
And to me, that might be the point,

Jerremy (50:58):
yeah.
Keep what?
What's the the emperor circus?
Just keep everyone looking away.
Keep 'em distracted.
Keep 'em uninformed.
Unaware.
Tyler, this has been so refreshing, man.
Energetic, exciting, useful For ourlisteners, I just wanna say thanks,
man, for waking up at 5:00 AM WestCoast time getting prepped for this.

(51:18):
Dave, thanks for spending.
17 hours a day outta your 24hours a day to make sure that
this show runs super smoothly.
Man, it's been an honor.
I am 100% confident.
Many of your listeners, your followerswill have gained only some knowledge,
but some insight on not only how youthink, but how we can just tweak, how
we can adjust, how we can think moreclearly, how we can pray and ponder.

(51:41):
How we can make betterdecisions, how we can decide.
You said gain wisdom.
Wisdom generally is gained from askingand from opening up and from receiving
and from knowing that we don't have allthe answers and that someone can give
us enlightenment, someone can give ushelp, someone can give us assistance.
It doesn't always have to be us.
So thank you, Matt, for being hereand for doing that for so many.

Tylertyler-todt_1_09-08-2025_060242 (51:59):
Man.
Thank you.
It's an honor.
You guys are awesome, man.
It's really cool to come on hereand listen to you guys already.
And I can't wait to share this one.
And what you said too, man, is likethe last point I'd make is that.
If you don't agree with me onsomething or I don't agree with you,
that doesn't make us enemies, right?
Maybe we voted a different way, but maybeI've learned some things since then.
Maybe you have, maybe we can discussthose ideas respectfully and kindly,

(52:20):
and that's how we all grow and learn.
We're in a hyper political climatenow where I think some people might
listen and just, oh, he thinks this.
I hate him.
He's my enemy.
I'm not your enemy.
I'm nobody's enemy in this stuff.
We shouldn't be thinking like that.
And so I love that you guys can bringideas together where we can just
talk about things in a respectfulenvironment and share ideas and.

(52:41):
Maybe if we did this again in fiveyears, I'd have a completely different
take on something I would've learnedsomething that would've changed.
But I think that's thepoint of life is we have
Just try and learn and grow.
So I appreciate you guysproviding a space for that.
It's awesome.

Jerremy (52:52):
got it my man.
Thank you Tyler for being here.
Appreciate you, bro.
Doing content with Dave Conley.
Top five favorite things of my life.
what'd you learn inthat episode with Tyler?

Dave (53:03):
I'm gonna tell you what I didn't learn first,

Jerremy (53:05):
Didn't learn.
shoot.
Okay.
Flipping it.

Dave (53:09):
didn't learn anything new about the problem.
Didn't learn anythingnew about the solutions.
What I love about that is that whatstood out for me, what I did learn, what
really changed my day to day, becauseit's still early in the morning, is that.
Unrelenting positivity is how we'regoing to change the most, and we

(53:31):
see none of that in our leaders.
We see none of it in our politicians.
There is nobody out there that isjust incredibly positive about stuff.
there's actually one politicianthat I listen to that I get.
Which is Massey on the Republican side.

(53:52):
The congressman from, I think Kentucky.
He's pretty positive dude, when I hearhim and it's such a refreshing thing yeah,
you might not be able to help everybody.
In fact, that's probably notwhat people want to hear of.
I'm from the governmentand I'm here to help you.
be the example, be the person that'syeah, I want to make changes, and these
are all the exciting things about it.

(54:13):
it is positivity into whatseems like darkness right now.
How about you?

Jerremy (54:18):
I learned that people care.
That's the thing, man.
We keep getting people on the podcastand having discussions about the
democratic process and dialing in andtuning in and caring and people do care.

Dave (54:29):
Yeah.

Jerremy (54:30):
We are making changes and we are making shifts and I
love seeing, someone like Tylerwho is what I would say is just.
work and time energy in the bettermentof or mankind or his community and the
ways that he feels is best appropriate.
