Transcript

[Shane]

Will and on the Republican Party, and everybody's kind of like, okay, fine, if that's what you want to do, do it. But I think a united front will be a lot more powerful in the long run. A united front is where we need to be. We've Learned in the 2016 and now 2024 elections, if we're not united, they will beat us. If the GOP loses the House or the Senate, you are really looking at devastation.

[War Rhino]

Right. All right, guys, we got War Rhino. We're here at Student Action Summit. How's the event going so far for you?

[Shane]

So far, good, man. It's a lot of people here. A lot of. A lot of crowd.

[War Rhino]

Yeah, a lot of attractive people here, right?

[Shane]

Oh, geez Louise, man.

[War Rhino]

Would you rather date a liberal woman or an illegal immigrant?

[Shane]

Oh, that's a tough one. Well, illegal women, illegal immigrants are a lot of Latinas, so I, I'd have to go with the, the illegal immigrant over a liberal woman. Yeah, because some of those liberal women, you know, they, you don't know if they're a man or a woman or, you know, you can't even fit them in your front seat of your car.

[War Rhino]

Yeah. Have you ever d. Liberal in the past?

[Shane]

Oh, gosh, I, I prefer not to say, but I may have. You know, the old Bill Clinton. I, I, I may have, but I did not inhale.

[War Rhino]

Yeah, we'll leave it at that. What's new with you, man?

[Shane]

Oh, dude, just getting ready. Big announcement coming soon in the next about two months. Yeah, big things coming. About to blow the doors off some people in California.

[War Rhino]

Let's go. What's going down? Little teaser.

[Shane]

Right? A little teaser. Let's just put it this way. You might see my name on a lot of conservative posters soon.

[Sean Kelly]

Oh, all right.

[War Rhino]

Lot going down in Cali, man. Gavin Newsom just got hit with the title six.

[Shane]

Oh, thank. It's about time. I'm, I'm really, I'm really glad Newsom got hit with that. It's about time somebody really brings Newsom's evil, totalitarian group to the surface. Yeah, and they're about to drop so much stuff on him. I can't wait. The fact that he's running for president now and campaigning while our state doesn't even have housing in the Palisades. And now just approved yesterday, I believe, an eight figure donation for the Palisades. Unfortunately for low income housing. Wait, what are we doing?

[War Rhino]

Crazy. Yeah, I know as a former fighter, when you see these transgender people boxing, it must piss you off.

[Shane]

Oh, my Gosh. You know, I actually am friends with one on social media. Met her at the. Her, him, whatever it wants to be. I met him at the MMA Awards.

[War Rhino]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Rad person will only box men or other transgender people. I, I'm all for that. Will not fight. He will not fight another female. And I love that. And I, I'm. Okay, cool. You know, and Adam Hunter said it the best. If they want to beat each other up, let them beat each other up.

[War Rhino]

You know, I mean, people were in the Olympics winning medals.

[Shane]

That's disgusting. Because I fought for this country. I fought for the red, white, and blue. I believe in red, white, and blue. And when you don't know what sex you are and you don't know what's between your legs, if you can stand in a mirror and you have to tuck it, you are not a female.

[War Rhino]

What do you think of this whole America first movement?

[Shane]

There's a lot of weirdness going on right now, especially with the, With Elon, you know, now breaking away and trying to start his own political movement. If we look at the, look at the, the Social Network of America, it's been a two party with a third party kind of on the side. Yeah, there's no room. They're a Libertarian Party. The Libertarian Party as a, as a whole has gotten about, I think, two, two and a half percent of a vote in the last 40 years. I don't think the American first movement is going to make great waves. There's no real players signing up for it. Even the ones that are signing up for it are people that have turned their back on the mega movement, if you will, and on the Republican Party. And everybody's kind of like, okay, fine, if that's what you want to do, do it. But I think a united front will be a lot more powerful in the long run. A united front is where we need to be. We've Learned in the 2016 and now 2024 elections, if we're not united, they will beat us. And in 26, if we're not united again, when we go into that fight, it's going to be very scary. If the GOP loses the House or the Senate, you are really looking at devastation.

[War Rhino]

Right. There's a lot of division right now with the Epstein stuff, too. It's causing the party to really fragment.

[Shane]

Alex Jones said it this morning, and I, I, My good friend James o' Keefe has evidence and is supposed to be releasing some stuff. That's what Alex Jones said this morning. And you know James, I love him to Death. James is always about the truth. If James does, if James doesn't have some stuff, then all for it. But unfortunately, Pam Bondi, you know, we were so energetic to get her in into office. She has dropped the ball. She promised us Epstein files had all the social media influencers there showing this Epstein binder that was all blacked out. They've. They've promised us, you know, just boom, boom, boom. Prosecutions, what have we seen? We haven't seen anything. Right, Dan? Dan, this morning, acting FBI director walked out of all walked out of his office this morning because of Pam Bondi and, and took the day off to cool off and.

[James O'Keefe]

All right, guys, Sean Kelly here, host of the digital social hour podcast, just filmed 33amazing episodes at Student Action Summit. Shout out to Code Health, you know, sponsor these episodes, but also I took them before filming. Each day felt amazing. Just filmed 20 episodes straight and I'm not even tired, honestly. So Code Health, amazing products. I also take these at home, especially when I travel. I used to get sick every time I flew and I started taking that first time. I haven't had a runny nose. Knock on wood. One standout element. I mean, it's so easy. You know, you got the travel pack here, but you could just take this, fit it in your pocket if you need to. Also all natural, like, only saline solution in there, so you don't got to worry about any crazy side effects or anything. Yeah, Code's unique. With supplements, there's a lot of who knows what's in those ingredients. Code Health, I haven't seen much like this where it's just based off, you know, the coat, the codes that are in the saline solution. So I would say they're very unique. It's going to be the future of health and medicine. Code Health has been awesome.

[Shane]

Feel the drop and go code yourself. And it's all over social media. He walked out of the White House today. That's not a good sign.

[War Rhino]

They must be feeling the heat and the hate, Dan and cash and all.

[Shane]

Those, you know, and poor cash. I love cash to death and I think cash, cash means. But somebody somewhere has dirt on somebody. Yeah, I don't know who it is, bro, but that stuff's going to come out. I don't know who it is that has this dirt. And I'm curious what the dirt is. What kind of backroom deals are going. But it's really sad because this is what. Not what we voted for. We did not vote for backroom deals. We voted for transparency. We voted for prosecutions. Of these people that were doing backroom deals. And now we're sitting here in today's economy and today's world going, wait, this isn't the climate I wanted. You know, and unfortunately, now we're seeing Ukraine get more weapons. Like, whoa, Trump. Whoa, bro. Like, what, what are you doing, buddy? This is not what we voted for. I'm strictly against anything going to Ukraine. You know, let Russia and them fight it out by them dang selves. You know, this is what. Exactly what we voted against because of $160 billion going to Ukraine. It's not what we've signed up for.

[War Rhino]

Not at all. New vaccine approval. Moderna.

[Shane]

Oh, my gosh. Moderna getting vaccine approval is absolutely atrocity. Why are you, why are you vaccinating children? Why are you shoving this stuff in our face? And why. How is Moderna still getting approvals? How, how are vaccines mandatory? We have seen nothing but atrocities happen to children to grow in adults. I lost friends, friends, families that have, have died because of these vaccines. My good friend, who is a WWE Superstar during 2020, gets the COVID vaccine and almost dies, Loses his entire career. Was in the NFL. Was in. Was in wwe, loses his entire career because he gets the vaccine and almost dies. And WWE had to let him go because he could no longer have the stamina to go on down. And you look at this, and it's just atrocity. Vaccines are so experimental. Moderna getting an approval. It's almost as bad as the, as the housing commission. Sorry, the, the gentleman that was in charge of all the interest rates. How are you raising interest rates? We are dying as a community. We are. And this community, I mean, Gen Z and millennials are feeling the blunt of all these people that cannot connect with us.

[War Rhino]

Yeah, Gen Z cannot afford a house right now.

[Shane]

Oh, no. You know, and it's, it's really unfortunate. I look at my fiance and I frickin love her to death before I met her. I'm very fortunate to, to own two houses. I had a whole career prior that allowed me to do that. 99.8% of people can't afford one house. I'm very fortunate. I own two. And she was like, wait, you own two houses? Looking at me like I'm a billionaire.

[War Rhino]

And I'm like, that's a flex these days.

[Shane]

Oh, dude, I'm. I'm flexing in San Diego County. I own two houses, you know, but it's, it's a very fortunate thing for me. And I just look at people and I'm like, yo, I will give you any financial advice I have. I may not be the best financial advisor, but I will help you however I can. It's just. It's sad because I want my daughter, my, my son to have houses. They won't unless I give them one.

[War Rhino]

Crazy, right? Because our parents had a house, you know, they bought it for a couple hundred thousand. That was normal back in the day. Now those houses are worth 500k to a million.

[Shane]

My first house, I remember my mom getting after we were living in a trailer home or darn near homeless. My whole childhood and first house was because my grandmother passed away. $62,000. She bought a house in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. And I thought I was a billionaire, you know, living in this old 1800s house. 1800s, it was 1897 was the house was built and I thought I was a billionaire living in this house. It was one of the oldest older houses in this neighborhood. And I thought I was a billionaire. And now I look back and I'm like my gosh, you know, I couldn't imagine these kids, you know, being here, being here in Tampa. I'm very fortunate. I met my business partners condo overlooking the ocean. Like I don't belong here.

[War Rhino]

Yeah.

[Shane]

It's just crazy where I came from. But that I'm here to show people no matter what happens in life, you can always step up, rise up, pick your chin up and push. And you should always bring everybody with you.

[War Rhino]

[Shane]

Specific moment that really got me to the next level was never saying no, Always saying yes to any opportunity. I've failed more than I've succeeded. I've lived in my car three times, I've been a millionaire four times, if that tells you anything. You just can't stay down. Every time you fall down, you need to stand back up. There's no such thing as quitting. If you. If you are comfortable with quitting, then don't come around me. You don't belong to eat at my table. I'm okay if you're broke. I like Sean. If you say, all of a sudden you fell on your face and you're like, shane, I need a place to say, no problem, bro. Why? Because I know people like you are willing to stand up and say, hey, I may not have it now, but I'll get it in a year. Brandon Moreno said it the best. I may not have it yesterday, may not have not have it tomorrow, but I will have it. And that's the best way to put it. And he became the world champion after being cut from the ufc. And that's the best thing. You just have to have that mentality to always go out and never accept anything that isn't what you want.
