It has to be acknowledged that there has been a huge problem right now where young men have been

0:10.3

starved for leadership. Women initiate 70% of divorces. If a woman chooses to divorce you, you're

0:16.4

going to have to pay her until she gets married again. And she can take your kids or use them as a

battles. Now here's the other thing I would say. And this is the part that just irritates me

0:26.2

about looking at the world and viewing everybody through the lens of statistics.

In war, in politics, and now in culture, Nick Fratus has never shied from the front lines.

And now the Green Beret Combat Veteran and Virginia Lawmaker is empowering young men and women

I think our current education system is irrelevant and it is creating despair.

0:49.7

Let's see how much trouble I can get into.

1:15.2

we'll go to lunch every once in a while, and we dive into the extreme weird things like,

1:22.1

what if, fun what if questions, right? And so I'm going to actually get to ask a former Green Beret, a question that came

However, we all have an agreement, which I shouldn't even be sharing right now. And that is, you always perpetuate the myth. So, for instance, whenever you run
