Chapter 1: What is the controversy surrounding Bryce Mitchell?
It's being so heavily pushed, the gay and trans things, that a lot of people don't realize there's a lot more young girls who are saying they're trans than boys. So they're going through this uncomfortable period through, you know, I don't know, a boy, I can't relate, but it still went through the uncomfortable through puberty.
But I guess the girls really hit some hard when they, you know, started developing and stuff. And that's when a lot of these girls are switching over. They're having a hard time fitting in, finding identity. All right, guys, Jake Shields is back.
Man, a lot of drama lately. Yeah, it's been a busy, exciting week.
All kinds of stuff going on. Geez, I know. You can each have me back, too. Yeah, and I want to start with the Bryce Mitchell stuff, because you had all those guys on your show individually, right? Yeah, well, Bryce and Rampage, they're both friends of mine, and I'm also friends with Bear, the other co-host of Rampage.
So that was, you know, I got to wear this, I like all those guys a lot, but I saw that, some clips of the interview, and I really didn't like it. It sat really bad with me, you know? So at first, I think I called up Bryce. I was like, man, that sucks when they talk to you. Like, why? And Bryce is a great guy. Like, you know, they're great people. They treated me with respect.
I'm like, okay, that's good, you know? Because Bryce is a situation where whether you agree or don't agree with what he said, he can't really defend himself right now. So it's just not fair to sit there and like berate someone when they're already down. But I have tremendous respect for Rampage. Friend of mine had him on my show, you know? So I texted him.
I'm not gonna share any private conversations, but we had a little conversation. I think publicly he said, you know, he doesn't really care what Bryce says. He was pressured by someone to treat him like that. And Bryce needs to understand, you know, who he might be working for later. But Rampage is a great dude. And then Bear, also a guy I like, but I thought he did a terrible job handling it.
You know, Bear actually called me after I talked to Rampage, kind of freaking out. And I'm like, Bear, if you want my honest opinion, you look like an absolute fucking, you look terrible. You look like so fake and authentic. It's like, you might not agree with what Bryce said, but in the scheme of things, you don't really care that much. You ran into him a bar, you wouldn't treat him that way.
You'd still go talk to him in person. So you should have either canceled or not braided him like that. I understand your perspective you're coming from. And he agreed. Like I said, I don't think he's a bad guy. It's a learning experience. I go, what you should do is I would immediately delete the episode, call and apologize to Bryce and then apologize publicly. So we did delete the episode.

Chapter 5: How are big corporations and political influences affecting real estate?
He was the first person, first country in the world to push massive animal rights things, you know? So he's obviously have some good aspects about him. So even most bad people can have good aspects. Wow. I didn't know he was a vegetarian. Yeah. Huge animal rights advocate and everything. Yeah. He was trying to push vegetarianism and
And that's, so it starts, people get blurred with what's true versus what's lies and propaganda. There's the famous saying, winners write history. And he was written to be the most evil person that ever lived. And people are just starting to question that. Like we have like Mao and Stalin, both communists, you know, allegedly Mao killed 50 million, Stalin 20 million.
It's people can like praise these people and not get ostracized from society. But if you say anything about Hitler, you're ostracized. So like, people start to be like, well, why can I praise this guy, but not that guy? And I don't think anyone should praise Mao or Stalin, but I'm not going to like sit there and lecture someone who does.
You know, I had a guy on my show, a communist who was like pro-Stalin. I disagreed with him, think he's probably wrong, but in his mind, he doesn't believe Stalin did those atrocities. So I'm not going to sit there and berate him, call him a bad person for what he believes. And we should be able to have these conversations.
We should be able to challenge and be like, maybe Stalin, maybe some of it was exaggerated. Maybe some of Mao's was exaggerated. Now I'm not making the argument it was, but we don't really know the truth about history. And you can debate every other genocide except one. And that's just what people I think are getting fed up with.
I can see that. Did you see Shopify took down Kanye's store yesterday?
Yeah. Disappointing, you know, cause it's like free speech. You know, I know that's the extreme end, but we, people will decide what shirts they wear, including like, you gotta let go of the past at some point, you know, that, that swastika sign originally was like a Navajo sign. It's still used, I think a Buddhist sign as well. Like if you go and, um, you'll see it all over the place.
So you have to let go. And also like the whole lifting your arm a certain way means you're a Nazi. It's like, come on. They did that with Elon. Yeah, it's like, you gotta realize, you know, it's 80 years ago. You can't say you can't lift your arm a certain way. You can't have this sign. It's just time to like, let go of the past.
People don't hold, there's no other dictators that they hold their signs forever. And it just shows you, the same people run Hollywood, the media, they came in with this barrage and just push this. It's the one thing you can't question. And I think it's that people are just fed up. And I think it's the boomers versus the zoomers.
