Brother, be glad you had that issue in the military and had to get out young. I'm 48 years old. 16.5 years active duty military. 29 months in 2 deployments. I'm broken down, beat up, and can't do half of what I used to. Get exactly what I put into the healthcare system... nothing. On top of it, now I'm "dependent" on the government to ensure I get paid so I can have a roof over my head. The way things are going with this government and the way they target those with conservative values, I'm terrified I could wake up one day with nothing, and now I'm too broken to do anything. This isn't woe is me... I grew up in Appalachia dirt floor poor. I can hunt and fish with the best of them. It's just crazy how some people do things for the opposite reasons, but end up in the same situations!
My wife used to manage the food bank in our small rural area for many years. She finally grew frustrated with the same type people griping and complaining about the quantity or quality (they don't like vegetables), just carb loaded crap, all while sitting in their Mercedes with rims that cost as much as my wifes truck. In the aftermath of hurricanes or fires, when everyone in the community is pulling together to hand out MRE's, water and ICE you will not see one single person that shows up at the food bank every week, out helping to 1. pay back something for all the crap you've taken advantage of for all these years, generations really and 2. Actually caring about others enough to get off your lazy A and chip in. Instead, they sit in those lines in their fancy new cars and complain about the MRE's giving them gas. I'm done helping people like that. Screw you. Get a friggin job and stop the lazy streak that has been passed down through generations in your family. I know more people on disability right now than I have ever known back in the day. Unfortunately, the truly disabled folks now have the shame of the stigma associated with lazy turds that are claiming disability, and unless they have a visible disability, they feel like they have to defend it. I know 2 able bodied men that are on disability that I have never seen one thing they can't do physically. One guy regularly mows his yard, washes his truck and all other normal things guys do. I told him one time "if you can mow and string trim your yard, you can get a job". Friggin turds, all of them.
@@bransonred1I agree with you, it's generational. Mama and Dad was trying to break that, then they became disabled. Folks scoffed at them looked down on 'em and down right treated them like trash. This was 20+ years ago. I was raised poor. Seeing that made it where there ain't a thing I haven't worked to earn. That's because my folks kept me inspired seeing them both work 2 jobs a piece in the late 80s and throughout the 90s. When they became disabled. When I saw that it didn't make me no bleeding heart liberal it made me more resolved. The problem with them hand outs is the folks that need 'em don't get as much because the folks that don't need 'em are draining the piggy bank. Hand ups not hand outs to the able bodies is what I try to do, through God's mighty grace and power. It ain't me, but the Spirit of God in me that keeps me worshipping God ,working, taking care of my family. Same goes for all y'all, even the feller doing these videos, if it weren't for God none of us like minded folks would be doing what we're doing. All glory to God🙌🏻
@@wesleysandlin7875 You were raised very similar to me. My dad raised 4 boys by himself until God sent him an angel in my mama that raised me from 6 years old. Prior to that my pops worked a minimum of 2 jobs and was always fabricating, repairing just about anything folks would bring him. He had a tiny pole barn that was maybe 8 feet to the trusses, dirt floor and one Sears/Craftsman 230 amp stick welder that he purchased new in 1973...I think that was the only big ticket item he ever purchased in his life that was new and the welder I learned to weld with at 11 years old. Last year I restored that old welder to factory new with upgraded cables and connections, still welds like a dream for an old AC buzz box. Fortunately, my dad was healthy and had finally gotten a good paying job at about 40 years old and he and my mama were able to retire comfortably. At 83 years old in 2017, on his deathbed he told me he had no complaints, what could a man ask more, he retired at 63 and had 20 good years of fishin with his woman (my mama loves to fish more than he did), traveling a little and they even went on two cruises - first in his life. He was the most godly man I know and the way he conducted himself at home or in his shop was identical to the way he conducted himself at church. I heard him cuss 3 or 4 times in my life and the words were not nasty words if you know what I mean. That is what's missing in family's today, godly parents leading by example. You are exactly right about the turds that don't need the handouts, I have heard a couple of them talking about it and they totally know how to game the system. Then the folks that really need it, normally they're folks of character and feel they should only get the bare minimum so that there is plenty to go around. They will be rewarded one day when it matters if they have a relationship with Christ.
I’m 100% service connected disabled veteran. I’m not physically able to work a 40 hour job. But I’m not sitting on my ass. I have a garden that I work myself sick in, almost daily. Both my sons, around 40 years old,lost their jobs because of the plandemic. I’m trying to help them set up making knives, doing a little blacksmithing, learning how to work metal instead of a computer. One is a graphic designer. The other is battling alcoholism, depression and a minimal skill set. We’re hoping to provide him with new skills, new ideas for earning money- EARNING it by working with his hands, as is scriptural. Keep us in your prayers please. I’m limited but I refuse to quit. I can role model THAT!
I live in the mountains of far Northern California off grid . Payed for my 140 acres with my own hands and smarts. This truck talk is right on the mark I see so many people milking the government thinking that they have the $ and they don't have squat. The people tax payers pay for everything and the government dosent give anything awaything for free.
I feel I fit into a completely different category from most of you. I broke my neck when I was 19, but have done my best to still take good care of myself. I want to do the things you say, but have no choice in the matter. Disabled people are the most ostracized. I carry on and get in over my head sometimes taking on things that I truly cant do anymore, due to my ego. I stay positive and am as active as I can be. I could always do better and continue to work on that. God & my health is my focus.
You keep going as hard as you can, don't weaken in this regard. The people who ostracize you don't matter, they will be judged later. Instead, get a Bible and read it cover to cover. You can do it easy in a year, or not, the main thing is to read it every day. You'll find how all of the prophecies are coming true, how Jesus is the true Savior of our souls. Our time on this earth with all of its suffering is a mere blip and paradise with Christ is coming quick. Take this time to get to know him well while he can be found easily. I'll say a prayer for you for endurance and good health. See you in heaven brother!
I don’t know many real men that aren’t slowing down and getting older. I rarely even see any my age or younger than me (38). I have to come to channels like this one to be reminded that the world isn’t completely soft as hell. Keep up the truck talks. Good stuff!
Loved this talk. Been going against the grain my whole life. It's nice to hear someone verbalize so eloquently why the beatings are worth it. Nice dose of inspiration right here. Be blessed
I am doing this because it is the right thing to do. I set an example for my son, grandson's and others in our family. I was raised by a single mother and watched her struggle. We took government assistance with block cheese, peanut butter and more. I think at times it is necessary for things like this. I joined the Navy at 17 and retired after 22 years. I then went to work for the railroad and am now fully retired. I have NEVER taken a hand out and earned everything I have.
With the amount of child support, food stamps, and wic that women get, it's not the same situation as when we were kids eating mac and cheese and top ramen.
I’m a 33 year old quadriplegic. Was on full govt support up to a few months ago since I got injured 13 years ago. It’s always been my goal to make it on my own. The programs are needs based. Meaning to be eligible you must be poor. So now I work full time. Pay for healthcare. Pay taxes. Pay caregivers. And all the other stuff we all pay for. I’m strapped now but I get to have the job I want and make progress towards the bigger goals. No more scurrying around trying to stay poor and eligible. It is the right path 100%
I tend to forget this channel has not millions of subscribers, because the content is on the level of such a channel. One of my favorite and the most important ones for me, currently. So much to learn from it
Amen Brother. I needed to hear that. I’m in the toughest fight of my life, but standing on the rock of our Savior. I’m one that has questioned everything since a very young age. Now I’m certain about Yeshua/Jesus, being the Word become flesh and I find it very hard to encourage men to have integrity and be accountable to others who have integrity and the Spirit. I’ve been in some kind of fight most of my life but Thank the Lord the last 30 years have been victories for Him. Still, I find that there’s few things more difficult than standing against a brother you love because you know he’s dropping his guard and putting others who love him at risk. It can take minutes or years for them to open their eyes and hearts but you have to be willing to stand for the truth when it really matters. Thank you for this message Brother. Yes, that is what a real man does.
same here... I have always been the black sheep in my family. all my family stopped talking to me when I went against the covid narrative. I dont care though. only that matters to me is truth. if family go against the truth I have no sympathy for them.
I’ve been PO’d for years watching people taking hand outs like candy with no shame. The workers of this country are sick of watching the weak minds steal from everyone busting there backs. There used to be a time when if you took handouts eventually you got outcasted. Stand on your own feet! Your independence in yourself can’t lose to your weak head. Thanks for posting! It’s about time someone did!
Once upon a time, in a country close to the USA, a young couple were married. This was in olden times, 1978, the country was called Texas. At 18 years old, I was half of that couple. We had a full size bed, a record player, portable black and white tv, table with one good chair, one chair held together with bailing wire, if we had company the the window sill seated twoish 4 melamine plates & cups. Silverware, utensils were 2nd hand or scrounged. We shared one towel, one wash cloth. 45 years later, still married, 2 successful kids, 4 grandkids. We live on a 400 acre ranch we bought, cash, after retirement. Built a house smack in the middle. We never took anything like government handouts. Some people truly need them and I'm glad they are available. We, however could work, and we did. When our babies were born, we had no insurance. As soon as we knew I was pregnant, we started making payments to the doctor and the hospital. My husband worked full time and every side job he could. I didn't have an epidural either time because it would've added almost twelve hundred 1978 & 80 dollars to the bill. The doctor and all but two hundred dollars were paid already at both deliveries. My husband hunted and trapped with the seasons. I canned everything I could. Pampers cost to much so I used cloth and made baby food myself. I went to college became a nurse. I worked three jobs to do it. I know some will say something ugly, but I admit it, I am bragging. Nobody gave us anything. When our kids were small 3 & 15 mths and I started college, the interest rate was 21%. I don't know how we lived through it but we never paid a bill late. It would've been humiliating. We were raised by people who lived during the depression. Today, between the government and banks/wall street people are hooked. We became addicted to credit cards and slowly were herded into not being able to use cash in places. It's not free money even if it feels like it. Wal mart, Target etc opened up a world of cheap stuff. People don't know how to do without NEW stuff. Ya'll have heard this sermon in some form before. It seems like the people in their 20s have been taught to be helpless. Two jobs? Can you do that?
Exactly right. I've never had a choice but to work. At 17 I got my girlfriend pregnant, so I quit school and went to work. I got my GED shortly after I quit but we never once got on food stamps. I've never even drawn one day of unemployment. Both my kids are grown now, their mother and I are still together after 30 years of marriage, and we both still get up everyday and go to work.
If all men had this mindset. Fine job man. I know the road had to be rough at times, but you can look back now and be damn proud of what you accomplished.
I confess, this is a convicting message for me. I got on medicaid assistance a few years ago, listening to my parents advice. I just went along with what others were telling me to do cause I was in a rough spot at the time. It has kept me from seeking higher income because I would lose those benefits. They just keep reenrolling me every year without even asking. I have to get off it though cause it doesn't sit right with me. I can see it's affecting me negatively. Thanks for the message
CW, thanks for these talks. I got a hat and a course to unpack. Keep it up. If I don't do it who will? Darn right and be proud of it. God bless you Georgian!
Perfect timing. Love the talk. Just the other day I was put with another guy at work who surprised me when he said”you take your job too serious, I’m just here to do nothing and get paid.” (Much like a lot of other people there). Like that mindset blew me back and caused friction within me because I’m thinking “I don’t necessarily like my job, But I Do my job and do it to the best I can regardless.” Like he’s trying to get by without any effort. Not in me. Sorry to be venting a bit. But it’s great to hear this talk about two different mindsets, and that I don’t stand alone in my view.
Heck yeah! Keep doing what you're doing, and when the job cuts come, you'll keep on working while you watch all the moochers walk out the door. Yeah, they might get one good payout once, but you'll keep getting a paycheck. Keep on!
I enjoyed these words. Been going against the grain my whole life. Early on cuz of pride but now i see it made me the man i was supposed to be. Now i know the difference between being disrespected and just plain rude people. I dont take things personal especially when i speak God's Word to people. Lets set the example for the next generation!! Men you are made in the image of God, both visible and invisible!!
Brother love your truck talk. I am medically disabled. I call them Quick Power talks. Please keep them coming. Please give my thanks to the one who erged you to do them. GOD bless, Scott

Amen Brother Im disabled and people ask me all the time why I don't collect SSI and government help and my response to that is I'm able to take care of myself and my family so why would I take from my fellow man ! God Bless
Well you've been receiving a bunch of bs information . If you've been working and paying taxes you paid into your SSI acct and that money is yours to claim should you need it , usually at retirement ! So if you're suffering from lack of income and you have SSI you could claim , that's not a real man that's a ignorant man ! It's yours , you earned it from years of paying taxes , it's not a hand out !
Hi SEAL. You’re a down-to-earth humble badass warrior. I have been following you for a while and I finally decided to sub. Thanks for all you do. I’m a gun nut and I appreciate your gun talk. But I also appreciate the other topics you cover. God bless. Btw. We were poor immigrants who legally immigrated to America in the 80s. We never relied on gubmint handout. We worked our asses off. After high school I enlisted in the army and after I ETS and became a Naturalized American I received an rotc scholarship and returned as officer. I love America. We must hold the line.
It’s tough to take one anecdotal example and use it for everyone. I agree on the principles of manliness, I’ve never used any government assistance other than the covid shutdown period. But we are fighting our own war on the home front brother. A lot of us work full time and still can’t afford life. I consider myself lucky to be able to do so, not deserving
I’ve took food stamps for my family in between jobs before. It was honestly super helpful and I figured after all the taxes I pay for Biden to give it all away, it’s the least they can do if we are honestly struggling. I won’t let my pride get in the way of making sure they have a nutritious meal everyday. It’s a different world we live in. You can’t just go kill everything you need to eat anymore
this is one of my Dad first and most important lesson - whenever i came with "but dad everyone else doing this or that or whatever " his answer was always " if everyone else jumps of a tall building would you jump too? - i will answer -no then he will add you are my son - my son uses his brain first -and just because everyone else does it don't mean you have to - son" - as well as stop complaining and do something about it - there those who do and those who just talk ...
Amen Chadd. I am fully convinced that no matter what generation you live in, what everyone else is doing at the time, a real man should go the opposite direction like a bull head on!!!
So I discovered your videos today and instantly fell I love woth your thinking, I don’t fully go along with everything you state yet all that you state comes from a place of common sense. I showed this video to my partner telling him that I love your insight and that I had been telling him this point of view for many years which is why I homeschool our child ( son ) and why I as a born woman fear for men in this continent. So after we watched this video my partner later stated ( what he needs to do,,,))) i stoped him and said “ not what he needs to do but what he should do”” yet I stopped again and said this man is speaking right on what he should be speaking on and then I said ( as he stated in his video who else will do it and so you should make your own video and do what you feel he needs to do)) this is a problem with insecure men where they feel insecure about others strong minds and yet makes a insight on what someone else should do rather what he himself should do. I became embarrassed and reminded myself why we have the problems we have,,, he is a entitled man who thinks the world owes him. O yeah I showed him this review because I’ll always hold him accountable. I appreciate all you put out, keep going.
Thank you, thank you for this!! all my life been working 2 or 3 jobs to provide. Why? well who else was going to? My wife was home with the 2 kids, we made the decision for her to be home with them so I had to do what I do, work. If I had 1/2 day Sunday off it was a real treat to be with them, otherwise it was out of the hose at 5 am and back after the 2nd job at 10 pm. Because I drove truck for a grocery store I would have "dinner" at the store. Piece of fruit, bottle water. AS I stand in line to pay I would see people, different races adn gender, wearing clothes better than I had, driving better cars, using food stamps to buy groceries. It amazed me why, but I always said (and you do too) I didnt know the whole story of their life so how can I make judgement. I stay in my lane, but when I was critizied for working so much, told to take it easy, I didnt know how to respond to these people. Obviously, if I had to explain they wouldnt understand. Im glad I stayed in my lane, now have no debt, some money in the back to retire and they are still on the dole, only they get more now. They are addicted to the lifestyle, which is only what they can get from teh Government. AS for me? The sky is the limit, harder I work the better off I am. Thank you 3 of 7, you are wise beyond your years!!
You dig, you fight and be relentless. Failure was never an option. As long as you're happy in your heart with your situation that is all that matters. Been getting it done with a hammer for the last 30 years.
Ya see, you've got the herd & then ya got tha men that know how to drive the herd. Tha men are on top, constantly maneuvering & better than the herd...they are responsible for leading.🇺🇸
This truck talk took me back to 2008. I was 24, had my own business making money hand over fist, and everything was going great for me. Then the economy crapped the bed, and took my business with it. In one week I lost my business, I lost my woman, and my dog died of cancer, all of that the week before Christmas. I remember Christmas day, being flat broke, sitting alone in the dark in my house. I had no clue how I was going to pay my bills, thinking I was gonna be homeless in a couple months. It was depressing to say the least, and I knew several people in similar situations. I had friends telling me to go get food stamps, and government hand outs because that's what they were doing. Just the thought of that made me want to wash my mouth put with buckshot. Instead of doing what everyone else was doing, I prayed for guidance. The day after new years I went and sold my nice new truck. I used the money to go to the auction, and pickup a few mechanically sound beater rigs that needed a little work. I knew even in an economy like that, where people were having their cars with payments repossessed, that the people that still had job would need good cheap rigs to get to their jobs. God gave me the direction I needed to rebuild my life, and he is good always. When. People turn to government/men to get them through, they only make their problems worse. When you turn to God, he is good, humble yourself and do as he tells you, and you'll be amazed how quick your life can turn around.
I feel the same way you guys do, I would personally never take the handout. But to be honest, I like that the program is there for the single mothers or for the people that truly need it. I do wish there was a way to prevent fraud and abuse of the program and have the money only go to deserving people.
Great message. Have had friends and acquaintances through the years that have relied on the government because everyone does it, I need to wait for that job that fulfill me, or will not get up in the morning for a job does not pay over a certain amount. As Chadd says, of those people that I followed, none of their situations improved or exude happiness/satisfaction with what their lives. Faith, caring for family, hard work, constant learning/growth and building something brings that to a man.
Thank you for this word! I sent the video to my 20 yr old son... He lives in Los Angeles.. and is surrounded by slackers. Thank you forthis empowerment!!
Spot on brother.....Great video. I had a great job with the state. Great money great benefits. My mom died of a stroke.... then my dad started going down hill. So I quit my job to take care of my dad. I was with him when he passed. And never regret taking care of him.
👍 golden handcuffs. If you want it earn it because sooner or later somebody will come back around saying you owe them. Great job I really enjoy your show! I really appreciate your service thank you
Watching your channel. I've been preaching and doing what you're doing since there 90s. What I've learned: Most people hate honesty. Absolutely hate the truth. Frustrating but I've learned to deal with it in my own life and how others react to it.
I married young, barely making it, I bit my pride and applied for FS and they told me I made $10 to much. that was the last time. The system is not set up to reward people for trying to better their life.
Love this truck talk! Respect! When my family first immigrated to the US, my mom used food stamps for a year to help pay for food. We all got better jobs and stacked our skills. No more handouts, and there will never be any, God Willing.
brother you are so spot on with this. keep preaching man. hopefully folks will let this sink in and really get the meaning of it. thats why i train and try to keep myself able-bodied. i know the "if the shit hits the fan" moment is coming and i ask myself that very question. why am i arming up and keeping my mind sharp studying war tactics. observing how americas enemies( foreign and domestic)conduct their missions. i came to the same conclusion. if not me, than who else? its only a matter of time before the wars are brought to this land. i was always taught an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. So by failing to prepare, i am preparing to fail... i love my country.... so not on my watch.
Where I work we volunteered at a food bank one day serving food, and it was ALOT of food and the people would eat a half or quarter of the food and throw it away.
I'm in a wheelchair. Lost my disability payments for working. It disqualified me caretaker/house cleaning and free insurance. I don't do it for me ego I do it because I can. 😎🤙🏻🇺🇸
It’s a rampant problem. As a business owner, the government has given so many incentives that it is very difficult to find employees to hire. On the other side, the federal government is also supplying my competition with foreign labor for less pay than what a person is willing to do this type of work.
Brother, be glad you had that issue in the military and had to get out young. I'm 48 years old. 16.5 years active duty military. 29 months in 2 deployments. I'm broken down, beat up, and can't do half of what I used to. Get exactly what I put into the healthcare system... nothing. On top of it, now I'm "dependent" on the government to ensure I get paid so I can have a roof over my head. The way things are going with this government and the way they target those with conservative values, I'm terrified I could wake up one day with nothing, and now I'm too broken to do anything. This isn't woe is me... I grew up in Appalachia dirt floor poor. I can hunt and fish with the best of them. It's just crazy how some people do things for the opposite reasons, but end up in the same situations!
I’ve been working all my life. I’m not rich but I can proudly say that I’ve earned everything that I have.
Its rampant in Appalachia and getting worse. Food stamps, ssi medicade tax check for the youingins. Driving new cars to the food bank
My wife used to manage the food bank in our small rural area for many years. She finally grew frustrated with the same type people griping and complaining about the quantity or quality (they don't like vegetables), just carb loaded crap, all while sitting in their Mercedes with rims that cost as much as my wifes truck. In the aftermath of hurricanes or fires, when everyone in the community is pulling together to hand out MRE's, water and ICE you will not see one single person that shows up at the food bank every week, out helping to 1. pay back something for all the crap you've taken advantage of for all these years, generations really and 2. Actually caring about others enough to get off your lazy A and chip in. Instead, they sit in those lines in their fancy new cars and complain about the MRE's giving them gas. I'm done helping people like that. Screw you. Get a friggin job and stop the lazy streak that has been passed down through generations in your family. I know more people on disability right now than I have ever known back in the day. Unfortunately, the truly disabled folks now have the shame of the stigma associated with lazy turds that are claiming disability, and unless they have a visible disability, they feel like they have to defend it. I know 2 able bodied men that are on disability that I have never seen one thing they can't do physically. One guy regularly mows his yard, washes his truck and all other normal things guys do. I told him one time "if you can mow and string trim your yard, you can get a job". Friggin turds, all of them.
Rampant abuse of federal SSDI and state welfare and benefits has been a generational way of life in many rural communities.

Amen brother! 💪💪
I feel I fit into a completely different category from most of you. I broke my neck when I was 19, but have done my best to still take good care of myself. I want to do the things you say, but have no choice in the matter. Disabled people are the most ostracized. I carry on and get in over my head sometimes taking on things that I truly cant do anymore, due to my ego. I stay positive and am as active as I can be. I could always do better and continue to work on that. God & my health is my focus.
You keep going as hard as you can, don't weaken in this regard. The people who ostracize you don't matter, they will be judged later. Instead, get a Bible and read it cover to cover. You can do it easy in a year, or not, the main thing is to read it every day. You'll find how all of the prophecies are coming true, how Jesus is the true Savior of our souls. Our time on this earth with all of its suffering is a mere blip and paradise with Christ is coming quick. Take this time to get to know him well while he can be found easily. I'll say a prayer for you for endurance and good health. See you in heaven brother!
Great story and I hope many see it.
I don’t know many real men that aren’t slowing down and getting older. I rarely even see any my age or younger than me (38). I have to come to channels like this one to be reminded that the world isn’t completely soft as hell. Keep up the truck talks. Good stuff!
Loved this talk. Been going against the grain my whole life. It's nice to hear someone verbalize so eloquently why the beatings are worth it. Nice dose of inspiration right here. Be blessed
Chadd & Chili, love your Truck Talk series. Thank you all for being who you are. This is sorely needed and much appreciated!
I am doing this because it is the right thing to do. I set an example for my son, grandson's and others in our family. I was raised by a single mother and watched her struggle. We took government assistance with block cheese, peanut butter and more. I think at times it is necessary for things like this. I joined the Navy at 17 and retired after 22 years. I then went to work for the railroad and am now fully retired. I have NEVER taken a hand out and earned everything I have.
I would buy you a 🍻 if I could. Much respect.🔱🐸
With the amount of child support, food stamps, and wic that women get, it's not the same situation as when we were kids eating mac and cheese and top ramen.
Retired from navy=handout

Thank you.
I’m a 33 year old quadriplegic. Was on full govt support up to a few months ago since I got injured 13 years ago. It’s always been my goal to make it on my own. The programs are needs based. Meaning to be eligible you must be poor. So now I work full time. Pay for healthcare. Pay taxes. Pay caregivers. And all the other stuff we all pay for. I’m strapped now but I get to have the job I want and make progress towards the bigger goals. No more scurrying around trying to stay poor and eligible. It is the right path 100%
I tend to forget this channel has not millions of subscribers, because the content is on the level of such a channel. One of my favorite and the most important ones for me, currently. So much to learn from it
God bless this man!!!!!!
British Columbia Canada here, thanks for contributing to the conversation! Love your work
Amen Brother. I needed to hear that. I’m in the toughest fight of my life, but standing on the rock of our Savior. I’m one that has questioned everything since a very young age. Now I’m certain about Yeshua/Jesus, being the Word become flesh and I find it very hard to encourage men to have integrity and be accountable to others who have integrity and the Spirit. I’ve been in some kind of fight most of my life but Thank the Lord the last 30 years have been victories for Him. Still, I find that there’s few things more difficult than standing against a brother you love because you know he’s dropping his guard and putting others who love him at risk. It can take minutes or years for them to open their eyes and hearts but you have to be willing to stand for the truth when it really matters. Thank you for this message Brother. Yes, that is what a real man does.
same here... I have always been the black sheep in my family. all my family stopped talking to me when I went against the covid narrative. I dont care though. only that matters to me is truth. if family go against the truth I have no sympathy for them.
Chad, couldn’t agree more with you. To many people are looking for the easy way. Here’s to working hard for what you need. Keep up the good work.
I’ve been PO’d for years watching people taking hand outs like candy with no shame. The workers of this country are sick of watching the weak minds steal from everyone busting there backs. There used to be a time when if you took handouts eventually you got outcasted. Stand on your own feet! Your independence in yourself can’t lose to your weak head. Thanks for posting! It’s about time someone did!
Never taken a free handout and never been without a job since I was 14. Debt free and a true blood.
The real men of Georgia thank you for your support.
Once upon a time, in a country close to the USA, a young couple were married. This was in olden times, 1978, the country was called Texas. At 18 years old, I was half of that couple. We had a full size bed, a record player, portable black and white tv, table with one good chair, one chair held together with bailing wire, if we had company the the window sill seated twoish 4 melamine plates & cups. Silverware, utensils were 2nd hand or scrounged. We shared one towel, one wash cloth. 45 years later, still married, 2 successful kids, 4 grandkids. We live on a 400 acre ranch we bought, cash, after retirement. Built a house smack in the middle. We never took anything like government handouts. Some people truly need them and I'm glad they are available. We, however could work, and we did. When our babies were born, we had no insurance. As soon as we knew I was pregnant, we started making payments to the doctor and the hospital. My husband worked full time and every side job he could. I didn't have an epidural either time because it would've added almost twelve hundred 1978 & 80 dollars to the bill. The doctor and all but two hundred dollars were paid already at both deliveries. My husband hunted and trapped with the seasons. I canned everything I could. Pampers cost to much so I used cloth and made baby food myself. I went to college became a nurse. I worked three jobs to do it.
I know some will say something ugly, but I admit it, I am bragging. Nobody gave us anything. When our kids were small 3 & 15 mths and I started college, the interest rate was 21%. I don't know how we lived through it but we never paid a bill late. It would've been humiliating. We were raised by people who lived during the depression. Today, between the government and banks/wall street people are hooked. We became addicted to credit cards and slowly were herded into not being able to use cash in places. It's not free money even if it feels like it. Wal mart, Target etc opened up a world of cheap stuff. People don't know how to do without NEW stuff. Ya'll have heard this sermon in some form before. It seems like the people in their 20s have been taught to be helpless. Two jobs? Can you do that?
Same thing with Honesty. Very Truly spoken
Exactly right. I've never had a choice but to work. At 17 I got my girlfriend pregnant, so I quit school and went to work. I got my GED shortly after I quit but we never once got on food stamps. I've never even drawn one day of unemployment. Both my kids are grown now, their mother and I are still together after 30 years of marriage, and we both still get up everyday and go to work.
If all men had this mindset. Fine job man. I know the road had to be rough at times, but you can look back now and be damn proud of what you accomplished.
Thank you for your wisdom
We are designed to be set apart. Being set apart requires a different mode of operation. The remnant
I confess, this is a convicting message for me. I got on medicaid assistance a few years ago, listening to my parents advice. I just went along with what others were telling me to do cause I was in a rough spot at the time. It has kept me from seeking higher income because I would lose those benefits. They just keep reenrolling me every year without even asking. I have to get off it though cause it doesn't sit right with me. I can see it's affecting me negatively. Thanks for the message
CW, thanks for these talks. I got a hat and a course to unpack. Keep it up. If I don't do it who will? Darn right and be proud of it. God bless you Georgian!
Thank you. 💪🏼
This one hit 🎯💯 💈in the spirit of Philadelphia.
When ya take the money your selling your self respect. Virtue and character dissolves over time. Hard work build character.
Perfect timing. Love the talk. Just the other day I was put with another guy at work who surprised me when he said”you take your job too serious, I’m just here to do nothing and get paid.” (Much like a lot of other people there). Like that mindset blew me back and caused friction within me because I’m thinking “I don’t necessarily like my job, But I Do my job and do it to the best I can regardless.” Like he’s trying to get by without any effort. Not in me. Sorry to be venting a bit. But it’s great to hear this talk about two different mindsets, and that I don’t stand alone in my view.
Heck yeah! Keep doing what you're doing, and when the job cuts come, you'll keep on working while you watch all the moochers walk out the door. Yeah, they might get one good payout once, but you'll keep getting a paycheck. Keep on!
What kind of job can you do nothing and not get fired?
I enjoyed these words. Been going against the grain my whole life. Early on cuz of pride but now i see it made me the man i was supposed to be. Now i know the difference between being disrespected and just plain rude people. I dont take things personal especially when i speak God's Word to people. Lets set the example for the next generation!! Men you are made in the image of God, both visible and invisible!!
My father was a Navy man, he is now past but your ways are exactly like my father's. I salute you sir!
Keep fighting the good fight
Thank you sir. I do a lot in life, because I know no one else will. It's good to hear it's not just me "manning up"
Hard work, grit, determination, living a morally correct lead life did no harm to anyone. Ever. Preach it Brother.
Damn right BROTHER! Keep driving on for us!
Real men don't have to convince anyone else that they are 'real men'.

Brother love your truck talk. I am medically disabled. I call them Quick Power talks. Please keep them coming. Please give my thanks to the one who erged you to do them. GOD bless, Scott
I'm mentally disabled too 😄
I was taught that my life would only be a reflection of the effort I put in. I listened to that one. Thanks for the vid!

Amen Brother Im disabled and people ask me all the time why I don't collect SSI and government help and my response to that is I'm able to take care of myself and my family so why would I take from my fellow man !
God Bless
Well you've been receiving a bunch of bs information . If you've been working and paying taxes you paid into your SSI acct and that money is yours to claim should you need it , usually at retirement ! So if you're suffering from lack of income and you have SSI you could claim , that's not a real man that's a ignorant man ! It's yours , you earned it from years of paying taxes , it's not a hand out !
@@ImaOkie Yes! Preach! This is truth. We are paying into this. You would only be taking back what you paid into it. Take what's yours.
Harder right over the eisier wrong. Kids do whats fun, Men do whats right. Fn A! /Salute from a Retired Abn Paratrooper. Got my respect.
Every one of these videos has me saying out loud, "F**** yeah, man". This is amazing. Thank you for doing such a great service to society.
Truth! Indomitable sprit!
Hi SEAL. You’re a down-to-earth humble badass warrior. I have been following you for a while and I finally decided to sub.
Thanks for all you do. I’m a gun nut and I appreciate your gun talk. But I also appreciate the other topics you cover.
God bless.
Btw. We were poor immigrants who legally immigrated to America in the 80s. We never relied on gubmint handout. We worked our asses off. After high school I enlisted in the army and after I ETS and became a Naturalized American I received an rotc scholarship and returned as officer.
I love America. We must hold the line.
Keep preaching brother!
Self-accountability is a rare quality these days. God Bless & much love from Scotland.
Thank you sir for your words of encouragement!
Amen Brother. Amen
I agree 100%
Thanks brother, well spoken.
YAHWEH Bless you.
It’s tough to take one anecdotal example and use it for everyone. I agree on the principles of manliness, I’ve never used any government assistance other than the covid shutdown period. But we are fighting our own war on the home front brother. A lot of us work full time and still can’t afford life. I consider myself lucky to be able to do so, not deserving
He's telling the low level men to quite acting like leaches and earn your keep, if that ain't you then keep it pushing.
Well said
I’ve took food stamps for my family in between jobs before. It was honestly super helpful and I figured after all the taxes I pay for Biden to give it all away, it’s the least they can do if we are honestly struggling. I won’t let my pride get in the way of making sure they have a nutritious meal everyday. It’s a different world we live in. You can’t just go kill everything you need to eat anymore
Appreciate The finer things in Life..#Work & Succeed #Life Earned..the Hard Way
Spittn truth my friend. Thank you for everything.
Your exactly right always stand on your own 2 feet
Sad to see how easy it is. I am glad I found your truck talks. God Bless your wisdom, and serving your country at 18 years old. Me also!
this is one of my Dad first and most important lesson - whenever i came with "but dad everyone else doing this or that or whatever " his answer was always " if everyone else jumps of a tall building would you jump too? - i will answer -no
then he will add you are my son - my son uses his brain first -and just because everyone else does it don't mean you have to - son" -
as well as stop complaining and do something about it - there those who do and those who just talk ...
Great video! It seems like anymore I am always going against the grain. Well said
Amen! I get told all the time I’m going against the grain. Glad to know I’m in good company.
👍🇺🇸
Amen Chadd. I am fully convinced that no matter what generation you live in, what everyone else is doing at the time, a real man should go the opposite direction like a bull head on!!!
Thank you brother...I sure needed this one this morning too❤
Amen.
Love the truck talks! Thank you!
I love the "Truck Talk" series! You are saying the things that others won't. Keep 'em coming!
So I discovered your videos today and instantly fell I love woth your thinking, I don’t fully go along with everything you state yet all that you state comes from a place of common sense. I showed this video to my partner telling him that I love your insight and that I had been telling him this point of view for many years which is why I homeschool our child ( son ) and why I as a born woman fear for men in this continent. So after we watched this video my partner later stated ( what he needs to do,,,))) i stoped him and said “ not what he needs to do but what he should do”” yet I stopped again and said this man is speaking right on what he should be speaking on and then I said ( as he stated in his video who else will do it and so you should make your own video and do what you feel he needs to do)) this is a problem with insecure men where they feel insecure about others strong minds and yet makes a insight on what someone else should do rather what he himself should do. I became embarrassed and reminded myself why we have the problems we have,,, he is a entitled man who thinks the world owes him. O yeah I showed him this review because I’ll always hold him accountable.
I appreciate all you put out, keep going.
Oh man, when I was a kid and told my Mom "everybody else is", she said "You are not everybody else". Damn right.
Thank you, thank you for this!! all my life been working 2 or 3 jobs to provide. Why? well who else was going to? My wife was home with the 2 kids, we made the decision for her to be home with them so I had to do what I do, work. If I had 1/2 day Sunday off it was a real treat to be with them, otherwise it was out of the hose at 5 am and back after the 2nd job at 10 pm. Because I drove truck for a grocery store I would have "dinner" at the store. Piece of fruit, bottle water. AS I stand in line to pay I would see people, different races adn gender, wearing clothes better than I had, driving better cars, using food stamps to buy groceries. It amazed me why, but I always said (and you do too) I didnt know the whole story of their life so how can I make judgement. I stay in my lane, but when I was critizied for working so much, told to take it easy, I didnt know how to respond to these people. Obviously, if I had to explain they wouldnt understand. Im glad I stayed in my lane, now have no debt, some money in the back to retire and they are still on the dole, only they get more now. They are addicted to the lifestyle, which is only what they can get from teh Government. AS for me? The sky is the limit, harder I work the better off I am. Thank you 3 of 7, you are wise beyond your years!!
“If I don’t do it, who is going to do it.” Awesome mindset. Praise God for that word. Do it y’all. Do the damned thing.
You dig, you fight and be relentless. Failure was never an option. As long as you're happy in your heart with your situation that is all that matters.
Been getting it done with a hammer for the last 30 years.
Ya see, you've got the herd & then ya got tha men that know how to drive the herd. Tha men are on top, constantly maneuvering & better than the herd...they are responsible for leading.🇺🇸
Yep. I do my job and protect mine “because I CAN”.
This truck talk took me back to 2008. I was 24, had my own business making money hand over fist, and everything was going great for me.
Then the economy crapped the bed, and took my business with it. In one week I lost my business, I lost my woman, and my dog died of cancer, all of that the week before Christmas.
I remember Christmas day, being flat broke, sitting alone in the dark in my house. I had no clue how I was going to pay my bills, thinking I was gonna be homeless in a couple months. It was depressing to say the least, and I knew several people in similar situations.
I had friends telling me to go get food stamps, and government hand outs because that's what they were doing. Just the thought of that made me want to wash my mouth put with buckshot.
Instead of doing what everyone else was doing, I prayed for guidance.
The day after new years I went and sold my nice new truck. I used the money to go to the auction, and pickup a few mechanically sound beater rigs that needed a little work.
I knew even in an economy like that, where people were having their cars with payments repossessed, that the people that still had job would need good cheap rigs to get to their jobs.
God gave me the direction I needed to rebuild my life, and he is good always.
When. People turn to government/men to get them through, they only make their problems worse. When you turn to God, he is good, humble yourself and do as he tells you, and you'll be amazed how quick your life can turn around.
this was indeed a freedom seed planted in my heart
I feel the same way you guys do, I would personally never take the handout. But to be honest, I like that the program is there for the single mothers or for the people that truly need it. I do wish there was a way to prevent fraud and abuse of the program and have the money only go to deserving people.
Amen! Good for you!! Praise Jesus!!!
Yes sir, rock steady mister! We are more than conquerors through Christ!
I’m going to buy a running hat to support during my runs. Love truck talks.
The 10 2 letter words, “if it is to be, it is up to me.” Stand on your own 2 feet and you can’t be controlled.
Great message. Have had friends and acquaintances through the years that have relied on the government because everyone does it, I need to wait for that job that fulfill me, or will not get up in the morning for a job does not pay over a certain amount. As Chadd says, of those people that I followed, none of their situations improved or exude happiness/satisfaction with what their lives. Faith, caring for family, hard work, constant learning/growth and building something brings that to a man.
Thank you for this word! I sent the video to my 20 yr old son... He lives in Los Angeles.. and is surrounded by slackers. Thank you forthis empowerment!!
Spot on brother.....Great video.
I had a great job with the state. Great money great benefits. My mom died of a stroke.... then my dad started going down hill. So I quit my job to take care of my dad. I was with him when he passed. And never regret taking care of him.
👍 golden handcuffs. If you want it earn it because sooner or later somebody will come back around saying you owe them. Great job I really enjoy your show! I really appreciate your service thank you
Watching your channel. I've been preaching and doing what you're doing since there 90s. What I've learned: Most people hate honesty. Absolutely hate the truth. Frustrating but I've learned to deal with it in my own life and how others react to it.
Keep them coming. Thank you..
I liked your video. First time I've seen/ heard ya. I'll be checking in daily!
I married young, barely making it, I bit my pride and applied for FS and they told me I made $10 to much. that was the last time. The system is not set up to reward people for trying to better their life.
Keep 'em comin' Chadd, these truck talks are what all men need to hear, including me. Cheers!
Love this truck talk! Respect! When my family first immigrated to the US, my mom used food stamps for a year to help pay for food. We all got better jobs and stacked our skills. No more handouts, and there will never be any, God Willing.
Preach it Brother!! Nuff said!!
Real man talk is great. Thanks for sharing your story with us.
brother you are so spot on with this. keep preaching man. hopefully folks will let this sink in and really get the meaning of it. thats why i train and try to keep myself able-bodied. i know the "if the shit hits the fan" moment is coming and i ask myself that very question. why am i arming up and keeping my mind sharp studying war tactics. observing how americas enemies( foreign and domestic)conduct their missions. i came to the same conclusion. if not me, than who else? its only a matter of time before the wars are brought to this land. i was always taught an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. So by failing to prepare, i am preparing to fail... i love my country.... so not on my watch.
I did basic in Georgia in 2009 got out in 2013 but love your stories and life help. But I'm from Colorado
Where I work we volunteered at a food bank one day serving food, and it was ALOT of food and the people would eat a half or quarter of the food and throw it away.
Very timely. This was a topic of discussion today at work!
I'm in a wheelchair. Lost my disability payments for working. It disqualified me caretaker/house cleaning and free insurance. I don't do it for me ego I do it because I can. 😎🤙🏻🇺🇸
Everyone loves the nanny state
If you can…you should! If you can’t…you should find out how you can!!! Preach! 4:43
It’s a rampant problem. As a business owner, the government has given so many incentives that it is very difficult to find employees to hire. On the other side, the federal government is also supplying my competition with foreign labor for less pay than what a person is willing to do this type of work.
