I'm not bashing on you. I just want to say, that you guys need to learn, or explain better the 3 different levels of government to your guest. Federal have some power over some stuff like millitary and trade, States have some powers over other stuff like Health and Education, while municipalities have some powers over Cops and Housing. You can't say: «this school stuff can't come from Democrats because the Senate is Republicans.» The Senate don't control Education. You will debate a lot better by knowing and explaining those differences. Love you guys!
Joe Biden wrote the drug law that incarcerated the father. Joes been there for almost 50 years and put there by Democrats! Democrats like hooking people on drugs.
Revising the constitution is called an amendment. We have 27 of them. It blows my mind this man's vote would cancel mine. He is so ignorant and uneducated on our government and how it's supposed to work
@@russell2910 That's the greatest thing about it! It can be changed but a vast majority of the country has to approve it. 2/3 of both houses of Congress must approve it and 3/4 of the individual states need to approve it. The Constitution is the say all, be all in the legal world. It was a remarkably written document that allowed the generations to come to change it as they saw fit. Executive Orders and laws struck down by the Supreme Court shouldn't be transforming our Republic.
@Elagentejefe while I agree with the with scotus not being able to strike down any E.O.'s, they do need to be able to strike down any laws that are unconstitutional.
“Racism is not dead, but it is on life support -- kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as 'racists'.” -Thomas Sowell
That Brother has never read the constitution in his life. Give them a copy of the constitution he’s telling you he wants it updated and he’s never read it.
He is just ignorant. Poor guy. I hope he doesnt wake up in a Communist Country to tell him he's wrong. I have seen it first hand and it's a mess. Worse than now.
Double check if he even got his diploma let alone a G.E.D.. The lack of critical think shows me that he either is slow growing up or that he chose that life of ignorance while trying to be intelligent. The fact that he even expects low wage (min wage) workers to be paid "fairly" so they can achieve to live the American dream is beyond logic. Low skill position are just that, its meant for people who are starting out or just wanting a little bit of extra side hustle. Everyone else who wants better pay, level up, learn a new trade and get better connections. Why should I work hard, learned a trade just to see a McDonald patty flipper earn $45 bucks an hour.
Right, these folks (Americans in general) need to READ the thing before they shoot off their mouths about it- Put it back in school, instead of gender studies!
Go read the 10th Admendment. "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Not sure how much longer this country has if facts and votes don't matter. The people in charge of the Gov (behind the curtain) don't care about the Constitution. How do we win?
The big lie is that things have changed and that means the constitution should be changed. Life as a human being is the same. We experience the same issues today as were experienced for millennia. The constitution is handles core laws that apply to all people. other laws and regulations need to operate around it. If if were something that could just change then the dominant mob would change it every election cycle.
The Constitution does change through the Amendment process, Most of the amendments have improved situations that bad people crated because there was nothing to stop them from doing it. Rights for Voting was based on the old way brought over from other cultures, that was changed to make sure those stopping Minorities and women from voting was put to an end and so many more things that the Supreme Courts had to make right when bad laws were created and declared Unconstitutional. We would be foolish to lose faith in the Constitution and should hold Government and its bureaucrats (non elected officials making rules"Regulations") accountable.
@@your_neko the amendments added further restrictions to the government.... The 13th was relevant as a clear explanation of man being free. Especially given the time of our world when it was ratified
@@mrmoosetachio so, just reading the constitution was not enough, and adjusting the constitution may help to protect people from government? This will drive the author of the first comment insane.
@your_neko you keep leaving out the most important part, if it adds further restrictions to the GOVERNMENT it's OK, if it adds restrictions to Citizens it's bad. Try to keep up
Sorry, but The Constitution does need to be modified slightly. It's not perfect, even if it is incredibly good. But who would expect a document to be perfect the first time? What it needs are restrictions on congressional terms (term limits for congress).
To Mike Larry The constitution has been amended 27 times. It can be changed but the process was designed to be difficult because any changes must reflect the will of the vast majority of the people.
The Founders were just as wary of mobocracy as they were of tyranny. The process on amending the Greatest Document in Governmental History is drawn-out to ensure cool heads & compromise between powerful parties. The Rule of the Mahority is tempered with the Voice of the Minority (politically speaking).
I really wish they would have asked him which parts, specifically, of the constitution he disagrees with I bet he couldn't name one -- all he knows is old = bad
@@patricblack1 I bet you think because old white men wrote it that that in and of itself means "its bad/its evil". Right? What would be your replacement?
@@pnut3844able Nobody said you can't cross over a border, they said you need to obey the laws of said country when you cross that border. And if you are entering the country illegally, you cannot claim that you obey the laws of that country.
The most important part of what I see in your videos is that you and your friend are able to have these discussions even when you don’t agree and still walk away friends. One of the biggest problems that we have in our country today is that people go to the extreme ideal of “if you don’t agree with me you must be my enemy” and that is what is destroying our country.
Absolutely.I am just glad to see that the 3 of you can sit down and have a conversation. Everybody has their own opinions on things. You can't change somebody's mind for them, nor is it your responsibility too. People feel the way they want to and can change their own mind if they decide to. But the most important thing is that you are HAVING THE CONVERSATION. This country has gone too far in forcing everyone to think the same way. I think both sides made valid points at different times, but Mike gets a point for making me laugh. He is a funny dude!
I don’t think he really listened tho, he laughed at the thought of a wall, agreed with those saying Trump is racist etc..yet said he is against illegals coming over and they could dig tunnels. He just didn’t want to hear much of anything.
@phillyphan1225 dude you can't expect a normal dude wirh his friends to sit there and just take that shit in. I know for a fact you wouldn't do that if you were him and your friends were democrats.
No attacks, just information that he needs. He needs to check these things out for himself. Look up exactly what's being built in Texas. I live in Texas and it's a fence being built made really high and from steel. Not a literal "wall" that he's been told by the media.
@sydneyt.-wo4zh doesn't matter how he looked, he sat down, said his talking point, and got rebutted, now maybe he'll take this information and educate himself
@sydneyt.-wo4zh Nonsense. These are the one's who minds of capable of changing. You're not going to change the mind of someone who doesn't want to at least listen.
I love how hard yallare trying to break through a lifetime of indoctrination to help open his eyes to whats really happening. It shows how much you care about him.
Well what do you call private christian schools? Indoctrination perhaps...has to be. Just that you're fine with it your way, but not when it's not. Typical.
This is how the left brain wash black folks... they use and abuse .... for political gain...making a bunch of false promises... The Clintons imprisoned more black people than there were slaves... Does the average black person know this information? OF COURSE NOT lol... Trump somehow only, all of a sudden became a racist when he ran against hillary.... its all lies, misinformation and propaganda spread by her camp to try every dirty trick to win the election...
My fiancé moved here from Mexico when she was 19. Didn’t speak a lick of English. She learned the language, worked full time and went to school and got a bachelors degree AS A SINGLE MOTHER. She is so confused as to why anybody born here can’t get their shit together.
Maybe she hasnt been here long enough. Surely she has enormous study loan debt! Why she couldn't get her shyt together in Mexico because not Mexican are poor and she was a 19 year old single mother. Couldn't keep her legs closed?
Not low standards, you can’t expect a single video or conversation to 180 flip someone’s mind. It’s hard, but you have to be patient with people. Deprogramming isn’t instantaneous.
I agree! And we used to talk until The Biden admin stopped us from talking by putting his politics into going after the ones that were against his party!
Policy governs all. Though doing things on your own sounds appealing, it's political rhetoric used to deceive people into thinking they control their destiny and the government plays no role in it. That's simply not true.
If humans could do it for themselves, there wouldn't be government at all. You are free to go and live by yourself and opt out of the social contract at anytime you like. Why do you stay in civil society and consent to be governed? There are many nice jungles, mountain chains, deserts out where you can live your libertarian dreams.
Exactly, and one of the reasons the Democrats are proponents of rewriting the Constitution is they don’t want citizens to read, learn, and support the areas that the government are truly responsible for-security. They want to make Americans dependent and ignirant so they have total control.
It’s not about raising minimum wage. It’s about lowering the cost of living! If employers have to pay more in wages - cost of living prices are going to go up. Making it an endless battle for everyone.
i respect yall for having this much patience. i cant do this with my friends anymore. its so tiring because you feel like you are having to teach a 5 year old how to read. its overwhelming how much people dont know. its actually depressing.
That's because when you point these facts out to people. You're proving them wrong. People get defensive and refuse to open their ears and minds to anything different.
Me too because they are brainwashed already and have been for many many years and I also voted for Bush and both are war whores ,,,,,WAR IS A MONEY MAKER BUT I OPENED MY EYES I WAS STRUGGLING WHEN I WAS A KID WENT HUNGRY MANY A DAY
@@jenniferwagner3098yes, of course 😢 BUT I can't really find 1 democrat i would vote for. Although, I will say I dont follow every single democrat, especially in the smaller positions, so I could be wrong 😊 I kinda liked the girl from Hawaii (I forget her name, my apologies!!), that turned Independent or Republican (I can't remember which one😊). She's the one who used to serve in the military😊
Born and raised here. We’ve lost the state. They’re making it a socialist sanctuary state. It’s extremely sad and angering. I shouldn’t have to leave my home state bc the government is overstepping.

You've seen the light. It's not about left vs right, it's all about you, me, and fellow Americans coming together to provide a society with the best chance to thrive and grow.
I came from a one-parent home. My mom was a waitress and worked hard to raise me. If people did drugs, that's an issue of person responsibility. People want to blame others for bad situations, but it's actually about how you handle yourself when faced with adversity. I get really tired of the blame game when I worked hard, went to vocational school, and now am blessed with a home and family today. I reject that victim garbage.
Except that doesnt always accurately reflect the realities of life. Sure that kind of rhetoric makes things simple to understand by those with simple minds, but in reality life is FAR more complex than that.
the reality is that people who grow up without a father in the home are up to nine times more likely to be incarcerated, have mental health issues, addiction issues and live in poverty. you can't expect children who grow up without the necessary support and examples to just adapt a positive attitude and get over it and move on. childhood neglect can have severe impact on brain development and personality disorders and addiction are a common thread through the lives of adults who had no father and a stressed out, resentful single mother raising them while strangers take care of them at day care for a large portion of their lives. of course there are exceptions to this, like yourself, but the deck is stacked against most of the people in this situation.
@morrnmanderson7376 People may have different adversities in life, like growing without parents or bad parents, growing up in the wrong neighbourhoods, bad influences, struggling to make ends meet, whatever it is. At the end of the day, it is still up to them to make decisions on what path their lives take.
I hate when people say the constitution is outdated and written too long ago to be applicable today. The bill of rights is the first 10 amendments. There are now 27 amendments the last of which was ratified in 1992. Not to mention the Legislation that has been passed over the last 250 years. It's not stagnant, but it was incredibly well written.
If you read the constitution , it all makes good sense, they knew what was going on, what could happen, so they made the laws that shouldn’t be changed, they will work, if people would try to understand them and live by them! Stop dwelling on your bad childhood and stop blaming everyone else and do your research and live right! I’m all for making America great again, I’ll be voting for Trump!
My Dad always said, "God gave you a brain, figure it out!". Education nowadays seems to be a tool for the Liberals and Progressives to substitute Feelings for Science.
Followed. I am Siksika Am Indian, grandchild of an indentured servant, this is my history. My future? I am an American - and it made my heart sing to find you two. The elders called young people like you our 'great hope' because of your minds, your hearts and your spirit. God be with you. Much love.
Much love to you friend! My family came over here from Ireland and Scotland in the 1800s and on my dads side one of my ancestors was also an indentured servant. The past was terrible but it’s 2023 and we are all Americans, regardless of our skin color. God bless you and everyone!
Indentured Black Watch Soldiers(Clan hay and sinclair) as well as Lost Bear Tribe (easier to type then our cherokee name ) As well as indentured Irish and Dutch (not german )
My relatives werent wanted in Scotland so they were forcibly gathered up and brought to America. It was 1498 and they were sold into forced servitude for ten years. Ten of his 13 children were also sold. So welcome to the tent. By the way Im caucasian.
My Mom is 75 years old and always voted Democrat until I educated her and showed her what Democratic party is doing. She was shocked and mad that I showed her the truth. She voted For Trump and will vote for him in 2024. The constitution needs to be followed.
It sucks to find out you been lied to for decades. Sometimes, it’s harder to show people they have been duped. Great job with educating her, so she can know the true. Knowledge is power and implementing it changes lives!
I think seeing all these people FINALLY waking up today is SUPER ENCOURAGING but also really sad to see as well, the number of people who were betrayed and lied to by those who promised them SO many things and never once came thru or kept one promise they made, I can’t imagine how hard and hurtful that must be to wake up to.. I woke up slowly over time but now SO many are literally being shaken awake overnight it seems, so yea I try to be as patient and understanding as I can be, I think it’s important to keep in mind that so many of them were literally lied to and betrayed for their entire lives- that’s quite the bitter pill to swallow I’m sure!! However there are also some really hateful and hardly what id call ‘tolerant’ people out there as well which I’ve got a much harder time understanding of course, sadly we’ve still got those who hold and possess pure hatred in their hearts for whatever reason.. BUT ok enough rambling, the last thing I’ll say is that I DEF WELCOME EVERYONE WHO HAS OPENED THEIR EYES AND NOW SEEN THE TRUTH TODAY- We are all very happy to have u!! :)
It's great that you can still be friends and have these conversations. Many conservatives, Republicans, etc., are rejected by those on the left and old friendships are lost.
The good news is that a lot of the reasonable people on the left are realizing that the party has gone out of control. Even Ana Kasparian from the Young Turks (a progressive news show) is calling out her side for being crazy. We are starting to find a healthy middle ground to meet on as conservatives and liberals.
It's also important to also realize that it's not about a title of Democrat or Republican because both sides who hold those titles can work against the common man to better their own positions and they do!
The fact that your friend is even willing to have this conversation is awesome. I have lost a lot of friends because they have become so indoctrinated that they believe they cannot be friends with someone who thinks differently. And all they do is attack. So, you have a good thing there.
This channel (and others like it) is the hope of America!!! I'm so grateful to all people who use their voice to spread truth!!!! "Untied We Stand!!! Divided we FALL!!" (and WE means ALL of us!!) ❤❤❤
Great video! Love how you share these stories with your friends and your followers. Really love how your friend was so respectful and willing to have the conversation. I've had similar conversations with family and it did not go well because they were unwilling to be open. Keep up the work!❤
Props to your friend for allowing himself to be vulnerable and participate in this conversation. More people need to speak to each other and actually listen, the way both sides are listening here.
Problem is... democrats actually do not have ideas worth listening to... Their ideology in life revolves around killing babies, hating law and order, incentivizing laziness and lying about political opponents
Even being Japanese, even I know the US constitution has been "updated", that's what amendments are AND I like how difficult it is to do that because if easy, it would eventually dilute its purpose. I thank the US military that gave the ultimate sacrifice. Lord bless the US & Japan.
You are wrong. It is a celebration of the best country in the world and the people that have given their lives and have been willing to to make it and keep it that. You say happy MLK day don’t you? Should we not because how he died. People are way overthinking this. Of course it would be this generation doing it
I’m in California, too. We have to get rid of the high taxes. We also need to vote out the politicians that don’t care about us. Thanks for what you are doing.
I was just in LA my friends there in Santa Monica were complaining about the high taxes. The homelessness is crazy and the cost of housing is off the chain
I would recommend you stop thinking a politician will ever care about you, the only people that will ever truly care about you are those who've raised you and those you've raised. Vote for the person that wants more Freedom for themselves, Freedom for me means Freedom for you and that's all that matter at the end of the day.
When it comes to the wall you should ask him if he a lock on his front door. By his logic what's the point of locking your door since someone could still break in?
I went to a Trump rally because it was close to my daughter's house. The only protesters were a small group, no more than 15. Later, the news reported there were "close to 100 protesters".
I am a naturalized citizen, I appreciate this country so much. When I was not citizen yet, I got so much financial help going through my illness. Now I am able to be productive, I want to give back to this country. I know there are many good American out there, you and your friend are one of them.
God Bless you for being appreciative of what America has to offer. Those that are not appreciative is because they feel entitled to free. Thank you for wanting to give back 🙏
This man reminds me of my late father. He thinks the Democrat Party is still that JFK party, but it is not. My dad's mind was so closed he never met or wanted to meet my white husband. Who is racist? Trump is good for America. I support Trump yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Great video. TFS.
american boomers are so stubborn and ignorant. they think they are right about everything. they think they are the best generation. very close minded aswell
the biggest problem with the democratic party today is they have been infiltrated and taken over by Marxist, and not jsut a few outliers like AOC , it's top to bottom Kamala harris her self has espoused Marxist ideology.
And what is he going to do? Your country is run by secret services and super rich, politicians are just paid muppets and there is nothing Trump can do about it. they dont like him only because he talks too much. You guys need to start considering independent casue those are usually not in someone pocket. apart from JFK Jr. casue he is cleary being financed by ZIonist lobby, same like Trump and everyone else
It needs some clarification. Like the commerce clause. That says and was meant to say the fed could regulate commerce among the states ( GA couldn't put a tariff on a NJ peach) commerce among the states not all commerce in the states.
@@UN4RACING12 Communism, it's like a cancer. Right now I think it's only 52% of Americans actually pay taxes of that 52% the top 10% ( I think is the number) pay roughly 80% of the tax debt. Just because a person's employer takes " tax" out of his/her check does not make them a "taxpayer". Many people file the tax return and in many cases they get all they've paid in and some cases even more than they paid with earned income credits and other programs. Have you seen the family who at tax time can't wait because they're getting 5k back?
Growing up it wasn't racist and I never heard any racist talk around me. At school, work, churchbor family. It was about working together and respecting eachother and then Obama woke up racism.
As a 50 year old Hispanic I want to offer this advice to us minorities - we can keep bringing up the past of "when we were young we didn't have...." Yes our parents struggled (single parent in my home), yes there was roaches all over the house, yes they whooped us until we learned but this is a different time and we have more access to education, knowledge (internet), and we can break an old cycle and introduce a new one. I have nieces with college degrees whereas I was the only one in my generation with a degree. What I am saying is that it's changing - there are still minorities stuck in the old ways but there are also tons that now have degrees and can continue to lay down a solid foundation for their families. So let's move on from the negative past and discuss how we're changing the future.
Thank you, Bro and Sis, for helping enlighten your friend. Keep it up. I am an Asian immigrant, and I have been working so hard since moving to the USA. Now, my wife and I have been receiving pension for over two years, but because our pension in not that big, we continue working full time despite our ages 77 and 72. We do not depend on the government, and we never did! Where I came from, the moment you get to 40's and your profession is not highly technical, you'll have extreme difficulty getting a regular job. Here I resigned two times due to family emergencies in my original homeland, but I easily got re-employed because of my character and work ethics and efficiency! USA is my homeland, and I am about to retire for good, we are achieving the American Dream bit by bit, one day at a time, and it will be complete soon.
Lol was hoping during the question about the wall, you would have asked do you lock your door? If he does why they could still get in if they wanted right?
Your friend is terrific for his willingness to listen, watch, and join in discussion. I love how he is ready to look at the good and bad of each topic. This is exactly the type of critical thinking that all voters should put to use. I am not supportive of either political party. I am an independent. I love Trump because he is not about the party, he is about beneficial results.
I loved this conversation. This was amazing and it was good to open up these topics to get these wheels turning. Your wife is simply amazing because to be able to reflect on self is hard for anybody. We are looking to prosper this season 🙌
Even if you only work on one person at a time hopefully it will spread. Amendments ARE updates to the constitution. Ask your friend who runs California. Democrats.

I grew up with several different step fathers, mother being single and the last step father that stayed was an alcoholic and drug addict/abuser. What your friend experienced as a child isn’t something that is solely in the black community! I don’t understand why people of other colors, non white, think whites never had it like they did. I lived in the projects too as a kid. Hard times isn’t just for people of color. My mother used to take us to parties with her! Hardships happen to everyone!
I had an abusive step from ages 6-9. Then I was molested at 10, I told and he's still rotting in prison. My mother was always bringing new men into our lives, drinking, and doing drugs. She used to take me to the bars with her. I don't dance at all, ever, because she used to try and force me to dance with her at these places and I'd hide under the tables until she walk off on her own. When times were really rough, getting some chicken in our ramen noodles was a treat. We use to rent trailers all the time and so I was labeled as trailer trash or white trash from the other kids at school. Life is hard, some people suck, but by and large, we are all just trying to survive. I'm very sorry you had to go through that and I hope things are better for you now.
You are absolutely right. I'm white and grew up middle class. I had an abusive drug addict uncle who would terrorize us. I had an alcoholic abusive stepdad. I have some PTSD from the abuse. People of all races, ethnicities, classes can have a difficult upbringing.
Yes but blacks people were targeted by the Democratic Party by President Lyndon Johnson to keep them in the hood and take away the fathers by locking them up unjustly . This is history . Democrats weren’t targeting white peoples then. This is history . What they don’t know is that the black family unit was stronger as middle class before the crack epidemic and Lyndon Johnson Changing the game for blacks then to depend on them .
My mother, a black woman, is changing her party affiliation to Republican.. She can't handle the coming after kids and the erasure of women from Democrats.
Never thought I'd vote Democrat again, but then RFK Jr entered the race and after the work he has done on behalf of children, to expose environmental pollution, push for vaccine informed consent... and bringing to light the governments lies around "COVID-19" - he seems to be the only viable candidate IMO.

As a recovering addict there were terrible circumstances that led me to drugs but there also comes a point were you are responsible for your own actions and choices
I'm glad you are in recovery, but even that first time you made a choice...regardless of why that choice seemed a good idea. There are many other ways you could have dealt with your tramaz some much better and some far worse but you made the choice to step into it and you also made the choice to step out of it. I hope you keep choosing to step out of it.

I was a Democrat for a long time. But the truth is I was young and I was just listening to my friends. Once I started learning more about history and the difference between the two parties I realized that I did not support the Democrats talking points. I became a Republican. I like your videos, Michael is cool. I feel like we are seeing him learn the truth about history. I know its hard to change your mind. I was that way at first too.
The "Constitution" exists to LIMIT THE POWER OF GOVERNMENT! Keep that in mind when thinking that "the government" should change or update the Constitution.
This is what we should all be able to do! Just Talk with each other about our opinions. Thank you- all 3 of you- for sitting down together as friends and just talking. Honesty. Love it.
Government assistance was focused on getting the man out of the house, break up the “family” and leave dependence on the government, not the family system. It’s so sad.😢
Yess!!! it’s totally against family and ruins, the nuclear family, which binds the daddy in the mama. If a woman has a baby out of wedlock, she qualifies for social services, but not if she’s married.. there are families who are married and they can qualify for food stamps and Medicaid for their kids or Medicaid for a pregnant woman if they are married if one member in the family gets laid off or fired, etc. etc. but I know where I live we can’t get unemployment if we are fired for our fault- except for my dumb ass cousin, who used to always get fired because of his alcoholism, and he would always get unemployment. I had a law degree and when I got injured and laid off after I fell down in law firms steps, they didn’t give me jack shit. It’s because legally blonde. True!! I’m serious. It was total discrimination against me for being educated but yet being a single mom with two kids when I was 33 years old just because I had a degree.
I just want to say thank you to your friend for sitting down and talking about how he feels and being open to atleast have a talk about this stuff with out it just being a fight.
Make it work. My grandfather worked three jobs at one point because it was necessary. It may not be right or fair but we still have a choice as to whether we succeed. It doesn't matter what the obstacles, you won't get ahead unless you make the right decisions.
When I moved out of my parents home in the early 90s I moved in with 3 other people. We shared expenses and I had to work sometimes up to 4 part time jobs in order to pay my bill. I was just barely scraping by too. Then I was able to get a full time job with benefits so I quit all but one of my part time part time jobs. Eventually I was promoted into management so I could quit the last of my part time jobs and move into a bit nicer apartment with only 1 roommate. As a manager I always worked 10 to 14 days with very few weekends off. I was living paycheck to paycheck, I never felt like I was being cheated or it was unfair. I understood I needed to work hard when I was young in order to gain experience to get better jobs in my future. When I hear young people today say they can’t make a living wage off a job anymore… I just shake my head. I couldn’t either, I had to bust my butt to just get by. I was exhausted but made it work. If I needed more money I took a catering job on my days off. It’s just what I did. I don’t ever remember feeling it was unfair.
@vicki5472... "Make it work. My grandfather worked three jobs at one point because it was necessary." I agree and have no idea why people thought that, "in the olden days", people only had one job. People did what they needed to do to live, feed their families, and to succeed. It was called adulthood and maturity. Too many Americans today are just big babies.
As Dan Bongino says the Republicans are not necessarily the answer to our problems but the Democrat's are almost always responsible for these problems. Love you all❤
Don't necessarily go full republican or you can fall into the same trap with the Rhinos Just look at everything democrats stand for, and elect people who stand for the opposite (Like democrats oppose school choice? Vote for someone who is for school choice) Look at policy above whether they have an R or D by their name

I'm not bashing on you. I just want to say, that you guys need to learn, or explain better the 3 different levels of government to your guest. Federal have some power over some stuff like millitary and trade, States have some powers over other stuff like Health and Education, while municipalities have some powers over Cops and Housing. You can't say: «this school stuff can't come from Democrats because the Senate is Republicans.» The Senate don't control Education. You will debate a lot better by knowing and explaining those differences. Love you guys!
Joe Biden wrote the drug law that incarcerated the father. Joes been there for almost 50 years and put there by Democrats!

Revising the constitution is called an amendment. We have 27 of them. It blows my mind this man's vote would cancel mine. He is so ignorant and uneducated on our government and how it's supposed to work
The U.S. Constitution isn’t to restrict the people. The U.S. Constitution is to RESTRICT the government’s power.
exactly
Exactly
And it doesn't need updating because it deals with fundamental rights.

Beautiful!
Hold up... the Constitution doesn't need to be REWRITTEN.
It needs to be REREAD!!!
i have a shirt that says this very thing! lol love it.
It did need amendments. So it ain't perfect.
@@russell2910 That's the greatest thing about it! It can be changed but a vast majority of the country has to approve it. 2/3 of both houses of Congress must approve it and 3/4 of the individual states need to approve it. The Constitution is the say all, be all in the legal world. It was a remarkably written document that allowed the generations to come to change it as they saw fit. Executive Orders and laws struck down by the Supreme Court shouldn't be transforming our Republic.
@@Elagentejefe , ok. So that means parts of it did need changing/rewriting.
@Elagentejefe while I agree with the with scotus not being able to strike down any E.O.'s, they do need to be able to strike down any laws that are unconstitutional.

This needs to be pinned in every video comment section.
Love some Thomas Sowell. He is wise beyond his years.
😅😂🤣😭😅😂🤣😭
This!!
Truth!!!
That Brother has never read the constitution in his life. Give them a copy of the constitution he’s telling you he wants it updated and he’s never read it.
He obviously 🙄 doesn’t know what an Amendment is.
He thought it was a rolling paper.
Has he heard of amendments? 🤣
He is just ignorant. Poor guy. I hope he doesnt wake up in a Communist Country to tell him he's wrong. I have seen it first hand and it's a mess. Worse than now.
Double check if he even got his diploma let alone a G.E.D.. The lack of critical think shows me that he either is slow growing up or that he chose that life of ignorance while trying to be intelligent. The fact that he even expects low wage (min wage) workers to be paid "fairly" so they can achieve to live the American dream is beyond logic. Low skill position are just that, its meant for people who are starting out or just wanting a little bit of extra side hustle. Everyone else who wants better pay, level up, learn a new trade and get better connections. Why should I work hard, learned a trade just to see a McDonald patty flipper earn $45 bucks an hour.
The Constitution doesn't need too be rewrittwn. It needs to be learned and enforced.
Right, these folks (Americans in general) need to READ the thing before they shoot off their mouths about it- Put it back in school, instead of gender studies!
Yep. Irks me to the bone when I hear people say its needs to be rewritten.
And applied equally.
Truer words have never been spoken!
Go read the 10th Admendment.
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
The Constitution would be worthless if it could be changed and ignored everytime someone feels wronged
It is what stands between the global takeover and the American people. It is the true envy of the world.
Not sure how much longer this country has if facts and votes don't matter. The people in charge of the Gov (behind the curtain) don't care about the Constitution. How do we win?
The big lie is that things have changed and that means the constitution should be changed. Life as a human being is the same. We experience the same issues today as were experienced for millennia. The constitution is handles core laws that apply to all people. other laws and regulations need to operate around it. If if were something that could just change then the dominant mob would change it every election cycle.
The Constitution does change through the Amendment process, Most of the amendments have improved situations that bad people crated because there was nothing to stop them from doing it. Rights for Voting was based on the old way brought over from other cultures, that was changed to make sure those stopping Minorities and women from voting was put to an end and so many more things that the Supreme Courts had to make right when bad laws were created and declared Unconstitutional. We would be foolish to lose faith in the Constitution and should hold Government and its bureaucrats (non elected officials making rules"Regulations") accountable.
I know someone would make that point. I should of clarified the Bill of Rights and core tenants on the Constitution.
It drives me insane when people think the the constitution needs the be adjusted. It needs to be read. It protects the people from the government.
So, amendments to the constitution were a mistake? 13th amendment included.
@@your_neko the amendments added further restrictions to the government....
The 13th was relevant as a clear explanation of man being free. Especially given the time of our world when it was ratified
@@mrmoosetachio so, just reading the constitution was not enough, and adjusting the constitution may help to protect people from government?
This will drive the author of the first comment insane.
@your_neko you keep leaving out the most important part, if it adds further restrictions to the GOVERNMENT it's OK, if it adds restrictions to Citizens it's bad. Try to keep up
Sorry, but The Constitution does need to be modified slightly. It's not perfect, even if it is incredibly good. But who would expect a document to be perfect the first time? What it needs are restrictions on congressional terms (term limits for congress).
To Mike Larry
The constitution has been amended 27 times. It can be changed but the process was designed to be difficult because any changes must reflect the will of the vast majority of the people.
Well we know the leftist never do what the majority of Americans want … so there’s that! 🤷🏼♀️
The Founders were just as wary of mobocracy as they were of tyranny. The process on amending the Greatest Document in Governmental History is drawn-out to ensure cool heads & compromise between powerful parties. The Rule of the Mahority is tempered with the Voice of the Minority (politically speaking).
We are NOTHING without the Constitution! It’s the greatest thing!

Honestly borders as a concept is so lame. "You can't cross over this imaginary line bc I said so!" It's selfish and makes no sense.
@pnut3844able It makes complete sense, different countries have different cultures and beliefs. Sometimes those cultures and beliefs cannot coexist.
@@pnut3844able Nobody said you can't cross over a border, they said you need to obey the laws of said country when you cross that border. And if you are entering the country illegally, you cannot claim that you obey the laws of that country.

The most important part of what I see in your videos is that you and your friend are able to have these discussions even when you don’t agree and still walk away friends. One of the biggest problems that we have in our country today is that people go to the extreme ideal of “if you don’t agree with me you must be my enemy” and that is what is destroying our country.
Nah, the support for chdrn trnz hrmoans is considered an enemi.
Major RESPECT for your friend Mike for listening and putting himself out there.
Absolutely.I am just glad to see that the 3 of you can sit down and have a conversation. Everybody has their own opinions on things. You can't change somebody's mind for them, nor is it your responsibility too. People feel the way they want to and can change their own mind if they decide to. But the most important thing is that you are HAVING THE CONVERSATION. This country has gone too far in forcing everyone to think the same way. I think both sides made valid points at different times, but Mike gets a point for making me laugh. He is a funny dude!
Especially since conversations where you're confronting being wrong are the hardest ones to handle and keep composure during
I don’t think he really listened tho, he laughed at the thought of a wall, agreed with those saying Trump is racist etc..yet said he is against illegals coming over and they could dig tunnels. He just didn’t want to hear much of anything.
@jacobsampsonis7782 back handed compliment lmao
@phillyphan1225 dude you can't expect a normal dude wirh his friends to sit there and just take that shit in. I know for a fact you wouldn't do that if you were him and your friends were democrats.
Alot of respect to your friend for sitting down, listening, and having a conversation that didnt devolve into attacks
No attacks, just information that he needs. He needs to check these things out for himself. Look up exactly what's being built in Texas. I live in Texas and it's a fence being built made really high and from steel. Not a literal "wall" that he's been told by the media.
He really just made himself look extremely ignorant though.
@sydneyt.-wo4zh doesn't matter how he looked, he sat down, said his talking point, and got rebutted, now maybe he'll take this information and educate himself
@sydneyt.-wo4zh
Nonsense. These are the one's who minds of capable of changing. You're not going to change the mind of someone who doesn't want to at least listen.
I love how hard yallare trying to break through a lifetime of indoctrination to help open his eyes to whats really happening. It shows how much you care about him.
Me too bruh.
Well what do you call private christian schools? Indoctrination perhaps...has to be. Just that you're fine with it your way, but not when it's not. Typical.
This is how the left brain wash black folks... they use and abuse .... for political gain...making a bunch of false promises... The Clintons imprisoned more black people than there were slaves... Does the average black person know this information? OF COURSE NOT lol... Trump somehow only, all of a sudden became a racist when he ran against hillary.... its all lies, misinformation and propaganda spread by her camp to try every dirty trick to win the election...
Facts.

My fiancé moved here from Mexico when she was 19. Didn’t speak a lick of English. She learned the language, worked full time and went to school and got a bachelors degree AS A SINGLE MOTHER. She is so confused as to why anybody born here can’t get their shit together.
Maybe she hasnt been here long enough. Surely she has enormous study loan debt! Why she couldn't get her shyt together in Mexico because not Mexican are poor and she was a 19 year old single mother. Couldn't keep her legs closed?
Many of us wonder the same thing.
We are wondering why she's a single mother.
Even if he doesn't change his mind, the fact that he's open enough to at least WATCH the video and talk about it with you is huge.
Girl u can see on his face if you are white he hates u lol
Talk about LOW standards
Not low standards, you can’t expect a single video or conversation to 180 flip someone’s mind. It’s hard, but you have to be patient with people. Deprogramming isn’t instantaneous.
These things take time. If someone has enough intelligence to listen they have enough intelligence to change their mind.
I agree! And we used to talk until The Biden admin stopped us from talking by putting his politics into going after the ones that were against his party!
We, Americans, got to stop relying on the Government for everything. That is one reason that we are in this MESS. We need to do it for ourselves.
You are delusional 75 % of the country is getting food stamps and welfare..
Yes!
Policy governs all. Though doing things on your own sounds appealing, it's political rhetoric used to deceive people into thinking they control their destiny and the government plays no role in it. That's simply not true.
If humans could do it for themselves, there wouldn't be government at all. You are free to go and live by yourself and opt out of the social contract at anytime you like. Why do you stay in civil society and consent to be governed? There are many nice jungles, mountain chains, deserts out where you can live your libertarian dreams.
Exactly, and one of the reasons the Democrats are proponents of rewriting the Constitution is they don’t want citizens to read, learn, and support the areas that the government are truly responsible for-security. They want to make Americans dependent and ignirant so they have total control.
It’s not about raising minimum wage. It’s about lowering the cost of living! If employers have to pay more in wages - cost of living prices are going to go up. Making it an endless battle for everyone.
i respect yall for having this much patience. i cant do this with my friends anymore. its so tiring because you feel like you are having to teach a 5 year old how to read. its overwhelming how much people dont know. its actually depressing.
That's because when you point these facts out to people. You're proving them wrong. People get defensive and refuse to open their ears and minds to anything different.
I’m right there with you
Me too because they are brainwashed already and have been for many many years and I also voted for Bush and both are war whores ,,,,,WAR IS A MONEY MAKER BUT I OPENED MY EYES I WAS STRUGGLING WHEN I WAS A KID WENT HUNGRY MANY A DAY

I came from a one-parent home. My mom was a waitress and worked hard to raise me. If people did drugs, that's an issue of person responsibility. People want to blame others for bad situations, but it's actually about how you handle yourself when faced with adversity. I get really tired of the blame game when I worked hard, went to vocational school, and now am blessed with a home and family today. I reject that victim garbage.
🎯💯
Except that doesnt always accurately reflect the realities of life. Sure that kind of rhetoric makes things simple to understand by those with simple minds, but in reality life is FAR more complex than that.
the reality is that people who grow up without a father in the home are up to nine times more likely to be incarcerated, have mental health issues, addiction issues and live in poverty. you can't expect children who grow up without the necessary support and examples to just adapt a positive attitude and get over it and move on. childhood neglect can have severe impact on brain development and personality disorders and addiction are a common thread through the lives of adults who had no father and a stressed out, resentful single mother raising them while strangers take care of them at day care for a large portion of their lives. of course there are exceptions to this, like yourself, but the deck is stacked against most of the people in this situation.
@morrnmanderson7376 People may have different adversities in life, like growing without parents or bad parents, growing up in the wrong neighbourhoods, bad influences, struggling to make ends meet, whatever it is. At the end of the day, it is still up to them to make decisions on what path their lives take.
God bless you and your family.
Big props to your guest mike. He seems to be open minded. As a nation we get nowhere without conversation!

It all starts with discussion and finding our common ground
I hate when people say the constitution is outdated and written too long ago to be applicable today. The bill of rights is the first 10 amendments. There are now 27 amendments the last of which was ratified in 1992. Not to mention the Legislation that has been passed over the last 250 years. It's not stagnant, but it was incredibly well written.
A true living document. It's too bad more people aren't more knowledgeable about these things.
Josh....the Construction needs to be amended...life has changed dude!! In a major way! And please vote right next time!!
If you read the constitution , it all makes good sense, they knew what was going on, what could happen, so they made the laws that shouldn’t be changed, they will work, if people would try to understand them and live by them! Stop dwelling on your bad childhood and stop blaming everyone else and do your research and live right! I’m all for making America great again, I’ll be voting for Trump!

It sucks to find out you been lied to for decades. Sometimes, it’s harder to show people they have been duped. Great job with educating her, so she can know the true. Knowledge is power and implementing it changes lives!
I think seeing all these people FINALLY waking up today is SUPER ENCOURAGING but also really sad to see as well, the number of people who were betrayed and lied to by those who promised them SO many things and never once came thru or kept one promise they made, I can’t imagine how hard and hurtful that must be to wake up to..
I woke up slowly over time but now SO many are literally being shaken awake overnight it seems, so yea I try to be as patient and understanding as I can be, I think it’s important to keep in mind that so many of them were literally lied to and betrayed for their entire lives- that’s quite the bitter pill to swallow I’m sure!!
However there are also some really hateful and hardly what id call ‘tolerant’ people out there as well which I’ve got a much harder time understanding of course, sadly we’ve still got those who hold and possess pure hatred in their hearts for whatever reason..

So you lied to your elderly mother and pushed nonsense onto her. Great job.
It's great that you can still be friends and have these conversations. Many conservatives, Republicans, etc., are rejected by those on the left and old friendships are lost.
The good news is that a lot of the reasonable people on the left are realizing that the party has gone out of control. Even Ana Kasparian from the Young Turks (a progressive news show) is calling out her side for being crazy. We are starting to find a healthy middle ground to meet on as conservatives and liberals.
It's also important to also realize that it's not about a title of Democrat or Republican because both sides who hold those titles can work against the common man to better their own positions and they do!

I was just in LA my friends there in Santa Monica were complaining about the high taxes. The homelessness is crazy and the cost of housing is off the chain
I would recommend you stop thinking a politician will ever care about you, the only people that will ever truly care about you are those who've raised you and those you've raised. Vote for the person that wants more Freedom for themselves, Freedom for me means Freedom for you and that's all that matter at the end of the day.
Taxes, shitty fuckn roads, and high rent
add homelessness
The skimming off the top from politics is insane regardless of sides, the bloated taxes an programs that don't actually do anything.

the biggest problem with the democratic party today is they have been infiltrated and taken over by Marxist, and not jsut a few outliers like AOC , it's top to bottom Kamala harris her self has espoused Marxist ideology.
And what is he going to do? Your country is run by secret services and super rich, politicians are just paid muppets and there is nothing Trump can do about it. they dont like him only because he talks too much. You guys need to start considering independent casue those are usually not in someone pocket. apart from JFK Jr. casue he is cleary being financed by ZIonist lobby, same like Trump and everyone else
Read him the Constitution and ask him what is not applicable in these days
Probably the part about the savages but other than that it's solid.
It needs some clarification. Like the commerce clause. That says and was meant to say the fed could regulate commerce among the states ( GA couldn't put a tariff on a NJ peach) commerce among the states not all commerce in the states.
Yes, yes, please do this.
If the United States was built on capitalism what will destroy it?
@@UN4RACING12 Communism, it's like a cancer. Right now I think it's only 52% of Americans actually pay taxes of that 52% the top 10% ( I think is the number) pay roughly 80% of the tax debt. Just because a person's employer takes " tax" out of his/her check does not make them a "taxpayer". Many people file the tax return and in many cases they get all they've paid in and some cases even more than they paid with earned income credits and other programs. Have you seen the family who at tax time can't wait because they're getting 5k back?
The Constitution has been "updated" the updates are called Amendments.
Growing up it wasn't racist and I never heard any racist talk around me. At school, work, churchbor family. It was about working together and respecting eachother and then Obama woke up racism.
And Biden perpetuates it.
Amen
As a 50 year old Hispanic I want to offer this advice to us minorities - we can keep bringing up the past of "when we were young we didn't have...." Yes our parents struggled (single parent in my home), yes there was roaches all over the house, yes they whooped us until we learned but this is a different time and we have more access to education, knowledge (internet), and we can break an old cycle and introduce a new one. I have nieces with college degrees whereas I was the only one in my generation with a degree. What I am saying is that it's changing - there are still minorities stuck in the old ways but there are also tons that now have degrees and can continue to lay down a solid foundation for their families. So let's move on from the negative past and discuss how we're changing the future.
You nailed it.
I’m not trying to talk shit. I believe in everything you’ve typed. But did you know, Garcia is the most common last name in Texas.
I'm not a minority, but this is the way I grew up. Dad left and mom was partying,an alcoholic and into drugs.
❤🎉❤🎉
Also, stop calling yourself a minority, that mindset only hurts you.
Thank you, Bro and Sis, for helping enlighten your friend. Keep it up. I am an Asian immigrant, and I have been working so hard since moving to the USA. Now, my wife and I have been receiving pension for over two years, but because our pension in not that big, we continue working full time despite our ages 77 and 72. We do not depend on the government, and we never did! Where I came from, the moment you get to 40's and your profession is not highly technical, you'll have extreme difficulty getting a regular job. Here I resigned two times due to family emergencies in my original homeland, but I easily got re-employed because of my character and work ethics and efficiency! USA is my homeland, and I am about to retire for good, we are achieving the American Dream bit by bit, one day at a time, and it will be complete soon.
Lol was hoping during the question about the wall, you would have asked do you lock your door? If he does why they could still get in if they wanted right?
I just LOVE y'all!!
Unity!! No black or white!!
Just unity!!
White people love pandering black people like candance Owen’s.
Just Americans! 🇺🇸
Taxpayers vs free loaders
Freedom loving Citizens vs illegal criminals who have no allegiance
I appreciate the patience and respect from all parties in this room.
I love seeing people waking up out of the trance they have had us in our whole lives, welcome to the great Awakening, we've been waiting for you ❤
This comment made me cry! Go go go USA! I’m sending love from Italy and I really want to see your Country Great Again!
Thank you for the video. It was cool to see friends spending time with each other and talking with each other and sharing perspectives.
Your friend is terrific for his willingness to listen, watch, and join in discussion. I love how he is ready to look at the good and bad of each topic. This is exactly the type of critical thinking that all voters should put to use.
I am not supportive of either political party. I am an independent.
I love Trump because he is not about the party, he is about beneficial results.
That’s way the MSM, Demonkkkratz, Uni Party and the Alpha Bit agencies keep lying, coming up with BS indictments, rape lies etc.
I dont like Trump because he is for gun confiscation and Red Flag laws.
I give props to your friend for sharing his opinion respectfully and being willing to listen! Great vid!!
Shoutout mike Larry for having these conversations, a lot of people would rather be safe in their bubble than to hear the other point of view.
I loved this conversation. This was amazing and it was good to open up these topics to get these wheels turning. Your wife is simply amazing because to be able to reflect on self is hard for anybody. We are looking to prosper this season 🙌
Even if you only work on one person at a time hopefully it will spread.
Amendments ARE updates to the constitution.
Ask your friend who runs California. Democrats.
I was going to say the same thing.
And how bad California cities have become!
Pelosi and Maxin Waters 🤬
Most democrat run cities. Chicago, Houston, Dallas, .....
@@user-ii4zf5iq3t I live about 30 minutes north if Houston and I refuse to even go there unless I absolutely have to and then I keep my car doors locked and my windows rolled up. I ALWAYS have to have a window cracked in a vehicle or I feel like I'm suffocating but not in Houston. I keep those suckers rolled all the way up.
From a Japanese perspective, I love how difficult it is to amend your nation's constitution because if easy, the US constitution would become so diluted it would almost be meaningless.
Kudos to your friend for being open to listening and staying your friend even after your views changed!
Alot of respect for your friend to be open to listening
Great job on the video. The best part is a peaceful conversation with differing viewpoints. If only our officials could do the same.
The hardest thing to do in life is to try and convince someone they’d been wrong about something there whole life.
*their
@@bgr5908 also should have used they’ve but I’m glad you take the time out of your day to correct RUclips responses. Going to be very busy the next few years. Hopefully Espanol is your second language
Especially since the government spent 18 years Psy-opping these people to hate everything decent
@@ziggy8013 you know someone is big mad triggered when all they do is go after grammar. All they're doing is low key outing themselves as someone who's been wrong their whole life 😂
But the kicker is going to be when you all find out the real truth
I grew up with several different step fathers, mother being single and the last step father that stayed was an alcoholic and drug addict/abuser. What your friend experienced as a child isn’t something that is solely in the black community! I don’t understand why people of other colors, non white, think whites never had it like they did. I lived in the projects too as a kid. Hard times isn’t just for people of color. My mother used to take us to parties with her! Hardships happen to everyone!
I had an abusive step from ages 6-9. Then I was molested at 10, I told and he's still rotting in prison. My mother was always bringing new men into our lives, drinking, and doing drugs. She used to take me to the bars with her. I don't dance at all, ever, because she used to try and force me to dance with her at these places and I'd hide under the tables until she walk off on her own. When times were really rough, getting some chicken in our ramen noodles was a treat.
We use to rent trailers all the time and so I was labeled as trailer trash or white trash from the other kids at school.
Life is hard, some people suck, but by and large, we are all just trying to survive.
I'm very sorry you had to go through that and I hope things are better for you now.
You are absolutely right. I'm white and grew up middle class. I had an abusive drug addict uncle who would terrorize us. I had an alcoholic abusive stepdad. I have some PTSD from the abuse. People of all races, ethnicities, classes can have a difficult upbringing.
Yes but blacks people were targeted by the Democratic Party by President Lyndon Johnson to keep them in the hood and take away the fathers by locking them up unjustly . This is history . Democrats weren’t targeting white peoples then. This is history . What they don’t know is that the black family unit was stronger as middle class before the crack epidemic and Lyndon Johnson Changing the game for blacks then to depend on them .
My mother, a black woman, is changing her party affiliation to Republican..
She can't handle the coming after kids and the erasure of women from Democrats.
Never thought I'd vote Democrat again, but then RFK Jr entered the race and after the work he has done on behalf of children, to expose environmental pollution, push for vaccine informed consent... and bringing to light the governments lies around "COVID-19" - he seems to be the only viable candidate IMO.
Kudos! Much love! ❤
As a black man and former Democrat whose now a Republican, I can assure you she's making the right decision! 🦅🇺🇲🦅 She has my support! ✊🏿💯
Bless her and you both! It’s beautiful to see how many people are leaving the left… they left the left… and we’re right on the right. It’s meant to be.
“The Constitution has to be adjusted from time to time.” Have you ever heard of the amendments to the Constitution?
Welfare is just a slick way of slavery to the government.
It is great to see everybody having a discussion. It’s definitely been something that we have been lacking.
It’s great because nobody here is deliberately, knowingly, lying to keep an audience engaged like FauxNoose. They lost $787 million dollars in court ordered damages, so far, and an upcoming court case by Sysmatic, will cost them $2 billion in damages. The right wing nuts are trying replace democracy with greedy oligarchy. And half our country is unwittingly being conned into betraying American values. Unfortunately.
The fact you have friends willing to sit down with you to discuss this stuff 👍🏼 …. TRUMP 2024 🇺🇸
With that said your friend is totally incorrect.
Half and Jai you two are awesome.
We need you two on an even grander platform. Your honesty and humbleness is something to be admired. God Bless You!
I shared your video on Truth Social. 😊
I enjoyed your conversation with this young man.
If you lock your doors from crooks and killers, why not lock our country too. You vet ppl you invite in your home, vet those who enter in
This is how I always present this topic- you wouldn't leave the back door to your house unlocked, and let's pretend you one day did-and someone Did happen to walk in-You'd immediately wonder WHO they are and HOW they got in.
I agree, but immigration reform would be far cheaper and more effective than a wall.
I love the analogy!
As a recovering addict there were terrible circumstances that led me to drugs but there also comes a point were you are responsible for your own actions and choices
I'm glad you are in recovery, but even that first time you made a choice...regardless of why that choice seemed a good idea.
There are many other ways you could have dealt with your tramaz some much better and some far worse but you made the choice to step into it and you also made the choice to step out of it.
I hope you keep choosing to step out of it.
That point begins the first time you do it. You’re responsible for everything you do
@@m2goofy760 that is absolutely true and I totally agree that once you reach a certain age, you are absolutely responsible for your actions, but you also have to understand. My trauma started very early and I found alternate ways at a very young age by 13-14 years old you could call me a full addict I started smoking cigarettes at 7 years old which was the same year my step dad got me drunk for the first time I was introduced to pot at 9 years old when these things permeate your life at such a young age it compromises your how you see the world and how you exist in it. It's something you can never fully recover from
@@jakecollin5499 that is dependent on a lot of factors it's not as simple as black and white and unless you have personal experience you can never truly understand the constant battle with yourself for control I was introduced to drugs and alcohol before the age of 10 so I would say there was a good amount of time where I didn't possess the maturity to comprehend the situation much less do anything about it
@@m2goofy760 this is my second attempt at a reply yt deleted the first
Basically I said I was introduced to s**. D**gs and al***ol before I was 10 years old and that has lasting affects that can change the way the brain works
Edit (2 of those at 7)
I don't think you know how much you're helping the racial divide bringing people together❤❤
It's great thing that you guys are using your platform to show people the other side of the story. Keep up the good work!
Yall were so patient. I could see the frustration on your faces without seeing it! But I get it! This is how we educate others! Great job!
I've lost a lot of my close friends over the last few years because i chose Republican. Dudes i grew up with, my ride or die homies. People I always thought I would be down with till death. I lost these fools because "I chose sides" n it was like I instantly became an op. I couldn't reason with most of them. I'm really glad ya homie wants to listen with an open head. I'm proud of u guys. Keep up the good work 💪
I am proud of you for standing with your morals. You did not allow them to make you cowar to their bs. God Bless 🙏
we all have lost fam/ friends.. praying they see the light one day... for now i just ask questions and dont share my point of view.. i know what i think
The party of tolerance....that's laugable
Keep showing him truths!! It's going to take him a LONG TIME. He's stuck!! But don't give up!!
At least he’s not voting.
I remember when you used to see "Made in the USA". You don't really see that today.
I was a Democrat for a long time. But the truth is I was young and I was just listening to my friends. Once I started learning more about history and the difference between the two parties I realized that I did not support the Democrats talking points. I became a Republican. I like your videos, Michael is cool. I feel like we are seeing him learn the truth about history. I know its hard to change your mind. I was that way at first too.
The "Constitution" exists to LIMIT THE POWER OF GOVERNMENT! Keep that in mind when thinking that "the government" should change or update the Constitution.
Takes real friendship to have this talk these days. Make friendships and conversations great again 😆
This is what we should all be able to do! Just Talk with each other about our opinions. Thank you- all 3 of you- for sitting down together as friends and just talking. Honesty. Love it.
Government assistance was focused on getting the man out of the house, break up the “family” and leave dependence on the government, not the family system. It’s so sad.😢
Facts, black single moms went from 28% in 1950 to 73% in 2023. No way that occured naturally imo
Yess!!! it’s totally against family and ruins, the nuclear family, which binds the daddy in the mama. If a woman has a baby out of wedlock, she qualifies for social services, but not if she’s married.. there are families who are married and they can qualify for food stamps and Medicaid for their kids or Medicaid for a pregnant woman if they are married if one member in the family gets laid off or fired, etc. etc. but I know where I live we can’t get unemployment if we are fired for our fault- except for my dumb ass cousin, who used to always get fired because of his alcoholism, and he would always get unemployment. I had a law degree and when I got injured and laid off after I fell down in law firms steps, they didn’t give me jack shit. It’s because legally blonde. True!! I’m serious. It was total discrimination against me for being educated but yet being a single mom with two kids when I was 33 years old just because I had a degree.
Yep, exactly, and it's been working well since it was signed into law.
I just want to say thank you to your friend for sitting down and talking about how he feels and being open to atleast have a talk about this stuff with out it just being a fight.
Your friend, he needs a lot of your help. You guys are on top of things as they truly are.
Appreciate all your perspective!
Make it work. My grandfather worked three jobs at one point because it was necessary. It may not be right or fair but we still have a choice as to whether we succeed. It doesn't matter what the obstacles, you won't get ahead unless you make the right decisions.
When I moved out of my parents home in the early 90s I moved in with 3 other people. We shared expenses and I had to work sometimes up to 4 part time jobs in order to pay my bill. I was just barely scraping by too.
Then I was able to get a full time job with benefits so I quit all but one of my part time part time jobs. Eventually I was promoted into management so I could quit the last of my part time jobs and move into a bit nicer apartment with only 1 roommate.
As a manager I always worked 10 to 14 days with very few weekends off.
I was living paycheck to paycheck, I never felt like I was being cheated or it was unfair. I understood I needed to work hard when I was young in order to gain experience to get better jobs in my future.
When I hear young people today say they can’t make a living wage off a job anymore… I just shake my head. I couldn’t either, I had to bust my butt to just get by. I was exhausted but made it work. If I needed more money I took a catering job on my days off. It’s just what I did. I don’t ever remember feeling it was unfair.
Shit I worked 3 jobs AND took 17hrs of college at UNLV in 2015. I worked my ass off to make sure my bills were paid
My mom worked 2 jobs and hustled to provide for 3 children by herself. It’s a choice.
I worked 3 jobs to get through community College taking 15 hours a semester. Was homeless at 17. You do what you have to do.
@vicki5472... "Make it work. My grandfather worked three jobs at one point because it was necessary."
I agree and have no idea why people thought that, "in the olden days", people only had one job. People did what they needed to do to live, feed their families, and to succeed.
It was called adulthood and maturity.
Too many Americans today are just big babies.
As Dan Bongino says the Republicans are not necessarily the answer to our problems but the Democrat's are almost always responsible for these problems. Love you all❤
Don't necessarily go full republican or you can fall into the same trap with the Rhinos
Just look at everything democrats stand for, and elect people who stand for the opposite
(Like democrats oppose school choice? Vote for someone who is for school choice)
Look at policy above whether they have an R or D by their name
@@SupHapCak what you said.
Honestly I listen to the policies and what they say. I’m a Tulsi fan and she runs as a Dem.
@@Maloney-ho6fb Tulsi has left the democratic party and is now a independent. I agree with her on some things and dis agree on others but she is honest as he'll about her beliefs which I can respect.
Always the policies but more importantly the actions. Rinos are great at✌️✌️ "policies" and suck at the actions.
Show your friend ‘The Inconvenient Truth’ video by Dr. Carol Swain. She is a professor of Political Science and Law at Vanderbilt University.
Your friend will be a registered Republican before the end of her video.
I love your videos. So smart and informational.
Thank you both for your great channel!
YES. YES. YES....I love hearing her speak!
You’re all hilarious. Bringing the best friend over to the conversations.
Adding Amendments to the Constitution are basically how we update our Constitution
Love the video & the channel
Thanks & Peace & Love to you!!!
I love how Jai broke it down to Half's friend. We do have to break the chains from our past and make our future, better.
This is one of the more insightful videos I've seen. Bravo 👏 everyone made extremely valid points and all I can say is God bless. Keep up the good work
