Imagine that you are doing everything you possibly can to follow the rules, to be a productive citizen, to take care of your family, to raise your kids in the way that they're supposed to go.

0:09.7

And your state is actively working against you in every single way it possibly can through higher taxes, through more regulations, through, I don't know, getting rid of your ability to be able to protect

0:21.6

your family and a whole host of other things. At what point do you finally throw up your hands and

0:27.2

say, I'm out of here? Because there's a lot of people think, no, no, no, Nick, that's not what

0:30.8

you're supposed to do. You're supposed to stay and fight no matter what. And what I'm going to say

0:35.3

today is, I think it depends. I think it depends. Because I see some

0:41.3

people say stay and fight, who then go out and stay and fight. And I have a lot of respect for that.

0:46.2

I see other people that say, you need to stay and fight who've never fought a day in their life

0:50.5

other than complaining on X. I see other people who stay and when they should have

1:05.3

when it is, no kidding, best to stay and fight and when the best thing you can do for not only yourself,

1:11.1

your family, your country, but maybe even for your state is to leave it. And that's what we're

1:17.5

going to talk about today. I'm going to go over some objective criteria that we can all consider

1:22.2

that we can all think about in order to try to answer this question. Should I stay in fight for not only or should I go fight from somewhere else.

1:31.4

Okay, let's go ahead and get into it.

1:34.1

I've come up with different criteria that I think actually makes a lot of sense.

1:38.1

I think these are reasonable criteria that anybody can look at, apply and determine whether or not these indicators, whether or not

1:46.2

these conditions have been met in order to inform your decision, right? And the last thing I'm

1:51.2

going to go over is arguably the most important one. No, not even arguably. It is the most important

1:55.6

one, right? But let's start off with the first one. Can you provide for your family? Obviously, one of the most

2:02.1

important things that you should be able to do as a husband and a father, but really just anybody
