I think whether you're willing to acknowledge it or not, we are most definitely facing a crisis of our young men.

Terry Crews joins me on the podcast today to talk about some very powerful topics focused on developing masculine power. I believe that you'd all agree that Terry embodies what we typically think of when we think about masculinity.

You guys have heard me talk a lot about our role as protectors, providers, and presiders not only within the walls of our home but in our communities as well. Not only do we have the opportunity to give back to those in need, we have a moral obligation to do so, especially if we have the means to do it. My guest today is a man who is doing exactly that. His name is Victor Fontanez (you may know him as Vic Blends) and he has made a name for himself through offering practical life advice for the young men he gives haircuts to as he serves his community in Atlanta. Vic is 22 years old but you're going to hear so much incredible wisdom come from him. I was honestly taken back by how much this man inspired me to do and be better myself.

We live in the single greatest time in the history of the human species but that's not to say we're without our fair share of challenges and struggles. It seems to me that the path we're on is leading us to a path of destruction and the pace of our demise seems to be rapidly increasing. My guest, Dave Rubin, would agree and, although we don't see eye to eye on everything we discuss today, I think it will serve as a reminder that we can – and should – learn to have these crucial conversations before it's too late. Today, we talk about the seeming futility of trying create positive change in the world, what "wokeism" is and how to root it out of our society, big tech and how it's working in overdrive to subjugate us, capitalism vs. socialism, homosexuality and transgenderism, and, ultimately, how to thrive in our ever-increasing woke dystopia. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: We had largely "solved" racism before bad policy brought it back The "woke" revolution is eating its own Humor is a great release valve The strength of liberalism is also it's weakness Having feminine characteristics doesn't make someone a woman We all live outside of our ideals and values at times How do you reason with unreasonable people?
