The Authoritarian Overreach and Covid-19 with Tone Floreal

Covid-19 has sent us down a slippery slope toward authoritarian overreach.

Tone Floreal is one of the most interesting men I’ve ever met, and he’s also one of my best friends. He works with intelligent microcurrent, a type of therapy that helps to reduce inflammation and pain. It’s done some amazing things for me, and Tone works with a lot of celebrities.

Nevertheless, his business has been nearly obliterated by the financial shutdown due to Covid-19. While, of course, that bothers Tone, what bothers him more are the assaults on our freedoms that have happened since the start of this whole thing.

We had a great discussion of what’s going on, and what we can all do to keep our heads together during this crisis.

The Warrior Soul podcast is written, edited, and produced by me, Albert. Our mission is to provide tools, tactics, strategies, and ideas that help The US military veteran community to show up as the wisest, strongest, most capable versions of themselves in the civilian world. If you're not a veteran, stick around because anything we talk about will most certainly apply to you as well. This podcast is made possible with the help of f bomb nutrition. They make delicious packets of fats that you can carry around anywhere with you in little portable packets.

They make macadamia nut butters. They mix them up with chocolate. They mix them up with sea salt. They mix them up with coconut butter. They're absolutely delicious, and they're really good for you.

They don't have any sugar. They also make a lot of cheese snacks. They make meat sticks, and it's just a great company. These guys send packages of this stuff to the troops who are on the front lines overseas to supplement their MREs, and we didn't ask them to do that. They just did that on their own initiative.

Really great company. If you wanna get 20% off your first order of f bombs, head over to www.dropanfbomb.com and use the code Warrior Soul at checkout.

Let's get into today's programming.

This is Chris Albert, and I'm here to remind you of one thing. Someday, you're going to die. Now that's not some morbid statement or scary idea. It's solid fact. Your time here on this earth is limited.

And we need to be reminded of this as much as possible for one simple reason, to live your best life while you can. This is the Warrior Soul Podcast.

What is going on, ladies and gentlemen? Welcome to the Warrior Soul Podcast. And as you know, I've been pretty vocal about my astonishment at what is going on here in the midst of this COVID nineteen crisis. The virus, the pandemic, actually astonishes me less than the reactions of people, the reactions of government that we're seeing out there. And here's the deal.

I am not questioning the fact that this is a very dangerous virus. I'm also not questioning the fact that we need to follow specific precautions in order to keep this virus from spreading. Yet, I am absolutely astounded at the sheer audacity of people who live in places like New York City, who expect the rest of the country, people in North Dakota, people in Montana, people in Tennessee, people in West Virginia, people in places where very few people have been infected, where they expect them to follow the same rules and the same draconian guidelines as somebody in a very populous center. And it also astounds me the lack of empathy that these people have for individuals who are currently out of work, individuals who are not able to provide for their families, through no fault of their own. That makes me mad, it makes me angry.

And what bothers me is that I feel like a lot of it is happening simply because two sides of the political spectrum really don't like each other right now. What they're they're they're both trying to one up each other or they're they're getting their hands tied because they don't want the impact of the twenty twenty elections to be against them. And so what's happening in turn is that people are suffering. People are needlessly suffering. And so I had my friend, my good friend, one of my best friends in the world, mister Tone Floreal come on.

And what you can consider this is a rant session. Now neither Tone nor I are medically qualified professionals. We are not doctors. Alright? So we're not doling out medical advice here.

We're not saying, hey, you gotta you gotta listen to us. You should you should, you know, start violating the law. And we're not saying that you should go out and start and stop social distancing and all this other stuff. What we are saying though is that it seems like a lot of people are just acting like sheep. Right? It seems like a lot of people are just lining up, waiting for our civil liberties to to be taken away, and and many seem to be applauding that. And in a place like America, where liberty is valued, or has been historically valued, even over life, that's a scary thing. So I'm worried about where we're going.

I'm worried about what the implications are with this. You can have your own opinions. That's fine. We can talk about this civilly if you disagree. I won't talk to anybody who does not wanna discuss this civilly, but I will I am open to having good discussions about it.

And I'm interested to hear your views. So you're gonna hear some of mine and some of Tony's. Tony's been a guest on a podcast before. His business has been absolutely eradicated by this whole thing. And, yeah, let's get into it.

Alright, everybody out there in the country. This is big brother talking. And we want you sheltered in place. And we don't want you going anywhere at all. In fact, we're going to start tracking you via your cell phones to see if you are gathering.

Just kidding.

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

It's Maybe Chris by vaccination too.

Chris Albert (link to this point)

Right? Yeah. We're gonna make sure you get vaccinated too. We're gonna make sure you all have

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

Vaccinated, track you with five g with the metal compound in your blood.

Chris Albert (link to this point)

Yep. Yep. Track you in all those ways. We're just putting on our tinfoil hats over here, guys. This is still the Warrior Soul podcast.

And the last time I checked, this is still a free country. And I've got my good friend, one of my best friends in the world, mister Tone Floreal with me today. And, Tony is up in San Francisco, California. How how are things up there, Tone?

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

Beautiful day, man. We had a lot of rain last few days, but just had an epic sunny day and took advantage of it. Went outside, got my feet on the earth, fresh air by the ocean, and soaked up the rays.

Chris Albert (link to this point)

Nice, man. Nice. And how are people up there taking this whole thing from what you've seen?

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

Yeah. Surprising because I was down in LA actually before the lockdowns were going on. And so I knew how to get out of Dodge. Didn't want to be in LA during a zombie apocalypse. Right?

So went up north to my family, especially my mom. And It was surprising. Think people up here have been pretty friendly. Some people actually smile on the streets, which is rare I find in California as a whole. It's interesting up here in Japan, Silicon Valley.

Know, people just don't really say hi like they do on the East Coast or other places that have been in the world. So it's been different. It had that 9/11 vibe going on. So I think people were just kinda wondering what was happening. And Mhmm. Yeah. It was cool, you know, standing in line. The lines are getting long at Costco or whatnot, but everybody seemed pretty friendly. Some people look paranoid.

You see them coming up down the street, they'll cross the street, but I wasn't worried about it. I know about how the body works and our immune system. So, you know, I'm just going with it right now. Just wondering, like, how this is gonna play out. Yeah.

Chris Albert (link to this point)

It's interesting because down here I'm in Southern California, and I live in San Bernardino County. And, you know, when I went to the store, I went to the grocery store the other day, and it was interesting how the grocery store changed because, you know, normally, you go to the grocery store, people people are passing by, they're saying excuse me and things like that. And I went to the grocery store this time, and and it kind of reminded me of, like, have you ever seen the Handmaid's Tale? Where they got their hoods and they got, like, their hoodwings, and they're, like, walking around and not talking with each other or trying not to be seen talking with each other. That's kinda how being at the grocery store, the local grocery store.

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

Not to say that. I've I've seen the same thing, know, especially when they hadn't done the social distancing part. They everybody was just kinda in there at the same time, and it was just eerily silent. And, you know, There was a lot of people getting in each other's ways, and it was a bit annoying. Obviously, the toilet paper and paper towel section was all depleted and empty there, but it was that same feeling that you're talking about, and it's still going on, a shop at Trader Joe's, it is.

It's really bizarre. No one wants to talk. They're just in there to get their food.

Chris Albert (link to this point)

Get their food and get the hell out. Yeah.

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

So Yeah.

Chris Albert (link to this point)

So Yeah. What else you've been up to, man? What how are things been going for you? What what have you been working on?

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

Yeah. Well, I mean, I work with my microcurrent machine, the magic black box there, to help people with pain and helps them, whoever it is, recover two to three times faster than normal using microcurrent electricity. When this whole lockdown went down and my business just completely caved in there, right, because that's what I rely on working with people face to face in the flesh. So that that just completely shut down overnight. And so I don't really have work.

I can't work in that aspect. I'm just getting creative now, looking at other ways of earning income, just sharing what I know education wise with body health flow, as you know, like getting in a state of awareness where you're connected with all things. We can go down the rabbit hole with that as we did in other episodes, but that's pretty much it, man. Just looking at my other options and then just helping my mom out as much as possible. She's a caregiver, she doesn't want to get on the bus system, just drive her, you know, I said driving miss Denny around and and picking her up and taking her shopping stuff.

So that that's pretty much been it. Just, you know, just trying to take a call on and all that stuff.

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

Yeah. Hunkering down and just paying attention to things, you know, knowing history and Mhmm. Understanding how big governments were, big brother, as you said, if you opened up the podcast and Yeah. Just just paying attention to, you know, the sign that they say.

Chris Albert (link to this point)

Yeah, man. You know, the economic impact of this whole thing is absolutely insane. And, you know, I and we need to talk about that in a second. I I wanna mention this about your machine because I think it's, like, it it's one of the coolest things I've ever tried because I I was in Brazil a couple years ago, and I went running in the morning and then rolled my ankle, the worst I ever rolled my ankle in my life. And my and we flew back that day.

And, you know, that's like an eighteen hour flight. So you're up there in the air that it couldn't elevate my ankle or anything like that. And the thing swelled to like twice its normal size. And then Tony, we got home and Tony came over that night. He brought the machine in.

And, you know, I was I've always been a skeptic about different things. But this thing, like, literally, I couldn't walk beforehand, and then the ankle went back to normal size. You could see dents as he was doing it. And then I could I could walk right after with a within half an hour. It was insane.

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

Yeah. It's funny. Right? Because your ankle is so swollen. And then as we were applying the electrodes on your skin, it was creating divots where the swelling was disappearing.

You had these little almost holes through your skin there as the swelling was dissipating. Then we got your full range of motion, you're able to put your weight on. That's just the power of doing one session. Microcurrent technology and electro muscle stimulation type device has been around for probably close to one hundred years. The one that I have is very sophisticated and there's a whole backstory behind it that gets pretty crazy. I've been involved for about fifteen years and I worked with all kinds of people and animals from the elite to the common folk. It's powerful. That's why I continue to do it. The biohackers brought in all this technology, and there's a lot of garbage out there in terms of It's hard to tell which is legit and what's not because of the marketing narratives out there.

That's why people are skeptical, but that's the best part. We want skeptical people. It's not about what I say, it's the action, it's the result. That's why everybody wants say, just tell them, I don't believe a word I say, let me show you. From there, they're like they become believers.

Right?

Chris Albert (link to this point)

Right. Right. Exactly. And that's the thing. It's and it's about results.

It's about seeing proof. And, you know, that goes that goes back to everything we were talking about earlier. It's like, you know, I think that so many people out there are currently just being driven by fear. And I think that fear is being spread by the mainstream media. And I'm not I'm not somebody who's saying like the the virus is is a hoax or a complete hoax or anything like that.

But the way it's being portrayed out there by the media and the way that a lot of this stuff is being brought up, I mean, you know, it just looks to me like it's a lot of different types of attempts to control people. And I'm not telling anybody, hey, don't social distance. I'm not saying put yourself in danger. But every time one of these things gets brought up, you know, it it it just makes my mind like, you know, this doesn't seem right to me. The way the government's acting, the way the media is acting doesn't seem right to me.

You know, the idea that that, you know, they're saying hospitals are being overrun right now when, you know, they're not. I mean, you go to a lot of these hospitals. Maybe in certain locations, I haven't seen all of them, but, you know, even governor Cuomo last week said they're not being overrun right now. They're waiting to be overrun. Right?

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

Yeah. It's funny because they keep, like, pivoting on their narrative. Right? Like you said, the media is really good at freaking people out. The virus is not a hoax, but their response to it is the hoax, right?

And so I was one of those citizen reporters that had to go to the hospital and see for myself. From what I saw, it was completely empty, man. There was a couple of nurses taking a break on the outside, but it was just a drive by. I went in there because at the same time, I can be stupid in trying to maybe catch this thing. Right?

Because I don't know whether it's true or not, but at the same time, like, I'm not worried about you know, like I said earlier, I don't wanna, like, not interact with people. Right? But it's it's respecting other people who are in that fear place where they don't wanna interact with you, and I'm respecting that. But yeah, I think it's nonsense to be able to shut the whole country down when there's a lot of evidence that it wasn't overreaction and that the CDC and the WHO's modeling was off. That's where you start thinking about agendas, you start thinking about conflict of interest, and then it goes down the rabbit hole from there, including five gs, which working with the body electric and understanding that the body is electric.

That's why we measure brain waves electrically and heart waves and muscle waves. Everybody knows what a heart rate monitor in the hospital is, so that's all electric. To think that these devices don't have an effect on our bodies, especially long term, is a bit naive. That's where I'm at. I'm paying attention to these kind of things just because I had experience in it.

I've read the books on it. I'm not an expert, but I definitely know how we feel when we're attuned to nature, especially when we're at the beach or the forest. We just feel better, right? There is actually an electrical response going there, a hormonal response with the light going through our eyes. What tripping me out is I think that people that are getting sick are the ones that are susceptible because they're already stressed out, they're already run down, they already have preexisting conditions, they're obese, they're diabetic, they don't sleep, they don't eat right, they don't move their bodies.

When you talk about bringing a vaccination and making it mandatory so that people can travel, I think that's horseshit, right? Because no one's going to put that crap in my body. Perhaps if they're going to mandate that, then we should turn around on the people that don't take care of themselves that put a burden on our healthcare system, because they don't get the proper rest. They are over trained, over stressed, and aren't eating properly, not getting the proper air and water and light. It's all the common sense stuff.

So I think those are the people that are susceptible to these type of viruses that come every single year. Why is this year any different?

Chris Albert (link to this point)

Yeah. And and and, you know, I'll see upfront. I mean, like, I'm not a medical doctor or anything like that. And and, you know, I think one of the things, though, we can look at other places that are not doing this. And and, you know, I talk to a lot of Europeans through business and things like that.

And every time I talk to a European lately, they think like, hey. The United States is on fire. We've got a plague going on over here. They're thinking it's like apocalyptic levels, and it's not. You know?

But if you look at Sweden right now, Sweden has not done a shutdown. They they haven't done anything like this. They've done some social distancing, but they haven't shut their entire economy down. And their their levels aren't increasing. Alright?

They're they're not they're not you know, their company's not or their country's not going down in flames or anything like that at all.

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

Yeah. They've given people the choice to especially the elderly to just quarantine themselves and then continue life as as it is. And so they're running that social experiment, apparently, it's it's not escalating the way they described here where two point one million people are supposed to die. Right? But yeah, I would need a couple of more weeks based on what I heard.

Like I said, I'm not a medical doctor, but medical doctors deal with sickness, man. Deal with illness. They're not taught about health. They don't study health and healthy people. As much as they help people who already develop an illness or sickness, as we know, Chris, they barely get any nutrition academic curriculum while they're in medical school.

You look at those types of folks, and I love when they're first responders, they're there for emergencies, but a lot of them aren't examples of health themselves. Work in long hours under artificial lights. A lot of them, you see them smoking on their brakes, and thank God we have them. Sacrifice to help us. But, you know, a lot of times I take what they say with a grain of salt when it comes to staying healthy and strong.

Chris Albert (link to this point)

Yeah. Yeah. You know what you know what else is funny? Our our mutual friend Brian Rose from London Real, He got one of his videos banned. I think yesterday YouTube took it down. It was with David Icke. And oh, man, I got I got the COVID. Oh, sorry. I just swallowed some dip spit. Sorry.

The he had a video with David Icke, and the title was COVID nineteen doesn't exist or something like that. Right? And what's funny is, like, alright. Here's the deal. Like, YouTube's a private company.

They can do what they want. But when you pull down videos like that, when you start censoring people, all you're doing is you're kicking a bull. Right? You're kicking a bull, and you're throwing gasoline on the fire. And by telling people that they can't talk about this, they can't broach this subject, you're giving rise to skepticism about who's in charge, where we're going, and and what is being censored.

Right? You're you're you're you're just rising skepticism right now. And I think that's that's something they're not thinking about. You know? It it it's gotten to the point where we politicize this so much.

If you're a conservative, you don't believe it. Right? You don't you you think this whole thing is a hoax. If you're a liberal or a leftist, you think that government needs to take more control, and you think that, you know, they need to keep track of people so that they need to stop you know, they need to stop violating the social distance rules. And somewhere in the middle is the truth and the real way of going about this, and we're not seeing that right now.

We're not seeing any compromise.

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

Yeah. You think the agendas are there, especially with the election coming up for the president. And, yeah, there's a lot of rabbit holes we could definitely go into. But for me, free speech and free press is so important. I'm a constitutionalist myself.

I love this country. I love the freedoms that we have. When you look at history and you think about how Nazi Germany came about, they took little steps and took freedom here and there and got a lot of people to believe in the propaganda. For me, the mainstream media was dying. Then there was a lot of stuff with Trump, with the left trying to get him out and the impeachment, just trying to find any kind of dirt on him, Russia, in terms of meddling with the election, the ballot supposedly, but this is interesting.

I don't know, man. Like you said, comes down to the answer. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, but there's they're not they're not doesn't seem like they're they wanna work for the people. They're they're looking at covering their asses so that they can get elected or or whatever conflict or interest that they have in regards to pushing vaccinations or pushing laws that violate human rights. The fear narrative is what's the issue that's really freaking people out.

What concerns me is that people haven't learned discernment. They haven't learned to look at multiple sources, talk to multiple people, get different viewpoints, then come up with their own opinion on it versus just taking everything at face value as as sheeps, you know?

Chris Albert (link to this point)

Right. Right. It's like, you know, we're everybody's just waiting for instruction, and and what bothers me is, like, how quickly people fell in the line on this. You know, I used to sit there and I used to wonder how could the holocaust have ever happened? I used to think to myself, you know, how could how could the Spanish Inquisition have ever happened? You know, that kind of bullshit. And and, you know, it's funny because now I see it.

I mean, I saw it. I've seen it, you know, in the past few years with the way political divisiveness has happened. I've seen it with this this derangement syndrome that everybody sees sees to be happening. And I don't and, you know, I lean conservative, but I don't think that that that conservative I don't think that either conservatives or liberals are immune from this. Right?

It happens both ways. And I think that that, you know, as far as things go, it just bothers me how quickly, you know, people felt a little bit of danger. And all of a sudden, they were like, arrest those people who are are gathering. You know? Make sure you're pulling people over.

Get that guy off of his paddleboard in the middle of the ocean where he's not around anybody just to prove a point. You know?

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

Yes. Snitching on people. Right? The LA mayor was basically saying, we'll reward snitches reward the snitchers. Right?

You just see that your neighbor is outside and they're, you know, they're not staying in or they're talking to each other too close, like or that businesses are still running, you know, underground because they're the people are trying to make ends meet and feed their kids. And it's scary, man. And then, you know, as soon as you get some money from the government, you're almost kinda, like, suckered into whatever they say. You know? And so there there's so many things that are happening that we're all on standby, like, to see what where this is gonna go.

And, like you said, it it's scary how quickly people just fell in line that way. You know? And this is new. I mean, it's it's unprecedented because it's worldwide. It's global.

But I think, you know, a lot of the world, like, waits for what The US is gonna do. Right? And and then you just look at China. China, obviously, is not a country that at least the politicians are aren't the ones that we would want to believe. Right?

Because it's like, how are their numbers that low?

Chris Albert (link to this point)

Right? Right.

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

There's a lot of, like, fishiness that doesn't make any sense, you know, when you think about, like, how they're controlling their people and how they have cameras everywhere and that they have social credit scores that if they're too low, then you can't travel to the next town, you can't travel out of the country. Those kind of totalitarian ideas, that freaks me out, man. I I'd hate to see The US move in that direction, but you think about history.

Right? Every every big tower has collapsed, and it's like, how did that happen? Right? It doesn't happen overnight. Like, as much as all this stuff has happened overnight with the the lockdowns, this has been slowly happening, right, with our cell phones and tracking and censorship of Google and, you know, now YouTube.

Right?

Chris Albert (link to this point)

Right. Right. And and, you know, I think I'll read you a headline that that came out about five, six hours ago, and it's from NBC News. And it says, US reports 1,264 coronavirus deaths in over twenty four hours. Meanwhile, in China, where the pandemic broke out, not a single new coronavirus death was reported.

That's NBC News. That's NBC News.

Right?

I I and and the thing about it is this. Right? So you get Twitter. Twitter is fine with allowing that crap to be published, right, and to to let it sit there. But then, you know, you get somebody who puts something up that says COVID nineteen doesn't exist, which is equally probably fallacious.

Right? But it's it's one gets published and and gets to stand there, and then then the other one doesn't.

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

Right? Yeah. I think, you know, they're looking at David Icke, which, you know, I get it. Like, he believed in reptilian people that control the whole planet. Right?

That they're the the elite that are up there with their switches and everything. And But that seems pretty far fetched in my ideas, my opinion. But when I just think about how well versed he is in history and how the propaganda movement happened in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust and all those sort of regimes, I just learned to discern what part of it is making sense to me. It's too bad that people can't hear the whole interview to be able to get the context. Because like you said, the media, how come they get to use click clickbait headlines, you know, someone like our buddy Brian Rose can't use the same.

Right?

Chris Albert (link to this point)

Right. Exactly. Exactly. It's it's just bias and colors it colors the conversation and puts us in a place where there's some things that are safe to talk about, and then there's other things that aren't.

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

Exactly. We're all hypocritical. That's the thing, man. We all are seeing things and saying things based on what we know, but the conversation should be left open. That's the beauty of what we're doing right now, is having a discussion.

It'd be different if we had someone that had a different point of view, but at the very minimum, everybody should have a voice to be able to speak. Now, I understand that some people's voices who are super influential, that could be dangerous because, you know, they may be saying a lot of false things, but because they have a lot of influence, they, you know, they can, like, sway people's minds. Right? The point is why this country is so great is that we have the freedom to be able to express ourselves. It really comes down to the education and again, discernment, learning how to filter the signal from the noise.

It's scary when people, again, as you said earlier, just fall in line. They're not questioning. Right?

Chris Albert (link to this point)

And Well, here's the thing. You know? And I think this is important to say. I'm glad that NBC post is still up. And the reason I'm glad for it is because then I can go on Twitter, and I could say, hey.

Author of this dumbass article, you are a fucking idiot, and that can stand there. Me along with everybody else who disagrees. Right? But then when you you take something down that says coronavirus is a hoax, you you take away anybody's ability to go over there and make comments on it. Right?

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

Yeah. It's it's I mean, I see if I was gonna talk about the other side, I did see a comment about someone burning the 5 G Towers on that video before they took it down, or BBC posted that the YouTube took it down, and they they had a screenshot of somebody saying burn five G towers. Right? And so, you know, I see their plane. I see it's you know, there's some crazy fuckers out there, man, you know? And a lot of people are hiding behind their screens.

How many people would actually say that in public? Right? Because that is definitely a threat. The thing is with Twitter and YouTube, Google, Facebook, they're all these private companies, but they also have agendas. They also have lobbyists.

The internet is still the wild, wild west in terms of regulations and technology. Then you go down the rabbit hole with getting implant chips and chips in the brain, but how much technology do we really need now? I think on the bright side of what's happening is I think people are able to spend time with their families as much as we drive each other nuts sometimes. I think hopefully people realize what's truly important and what's not important. That's what I'm optimistic about, hoping that our spirit as human beings, no matter what country you're from, starts to shine through because during emergencies, we know who the real people who got our backs and we know who's the ones that are going to shy away that we can't rely on and trust.

But I have faith in humanity too that we we take care of each other. You know? But but it's also scary too when you see people hoarding toilet paper, man, and and fighting for it, you know, that last roll, you know.

Chris Albert (link to this point)

Mhmm. No. Absolutely. Absolutely. Well, man, you know, as far as everything goes, I know you've you've been working on some breath work stuff and things like that.

Where can people go to catch up with you? And and and I see your your spicy dance challenge that you got going up on social media. Yeah.

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

That's just, you know, to have fun and remember what's important. We have a spicy dance challenge to have people send in videos fifteen to thirty seconds long, minimal. They can do long ones, longer ones, but yeah, just hashtag spicydancechallenge. Then people can reach me or tag me at ToneFloreal. So I spelled Tone, I'd say it Tone, but it's spelled T O N E and then F L O R E A L.

And that's mainly on Instagram, on Facebook, then they could also check out what I do with the machine and sort of all the health practices, including breathing ice, heat on magicflowbus.com.

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

Miss Pipy dog.

Chris Albert (link to this point)

Well, dude, man, I want you to stay safe up there. It's always great talking to you. Like I said, you're one of my best And friends in the and, you know, just with everything, man, hold your family close and and keep your head up through this, brother.

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

Yeah, brother. Thanks for being there for me and checking in. And, you know, same thing with you and your family. Shauna, Piper. You guys stay healthy and strong.

Keep your head up. And and, yeah, we'll we'll keep fighting for freedom, brother.

Chris Albert (link to this point)

Awesome, man. Absolutely. And everybody out there, like I said, you know, we're not telling you not to social distance. We're not telling you to break the law. We're not telling you that we're not even saying the coronavirus is a hoax or that there is no danger part being posed here.

What we are saying is, you know, when you hear stuff like this, begin asking questions. Right? Be intelligent. And remember, you know, I I hate talking like this, but I honestly, you know what? I like talking like this.

I mean, the famous statement, give me liberty or give me death, that still needs to hold true. It still needs to hold true. And it's an obligation that I think we, as Americans, face, and it's something that we need to hold dear to our hearts, and we need to follow that up with action. Right? And and when these types of things start coming up, that's when it's time for us to step up and say, you know what?

That's a no go, man. That's a no go. And we need to we need to be Americans in this situation. So that's all I'm saying.

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

Yeah. And one last thing, Chris. I'd just like to thank all of our military service people for fighting for our freedoms, you know, for our ability to say what we can say and and do just have the greatest country, you know, in terms of all the rights that we can have as human beings.

Chris Albert (link to this point)

Thank you for that. And and I also wanna say thank you to all of our health care workers, our nurses, our doctors, our our EMT, our paramedics. Thank you guys so much for the job you're doing, the long hours you're working, and and, you know, with with everything that's coming down from this. And also

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

Thank you.

Chris Albert (link to this point)

Yeah. And and, also, I wanna say this. Thank you to those of you, the American worker who has currently been forced to sit on his hands, in her hands because of this situation. Thank you for your bravery. Thank you for for, you know, keeping your heads up.

And when it's time, we're gonna need you guys to to step up again. You know?

Tone Floreal (link to this point)

Yeah. Thank you. Thank you.

Alright, guys. We will be back later on this week with some awesome content. This is Chris Albert and mister Tone Floreal, and we are out. Alright, guys. I hope that you enjoyed that conversation.

Again, we're just trying to open up your minds here. Like I said, a lot of people are very close minded about this. A lot of people seem like they're lining up like sheep just to have their civil liberties taken away, and again, many seem to be applauding it. We are here to present an alternative point of view. I think that's the point of podcasting in general.

If I was saying the same exact thing as the mainstream media, then there wouldn't be a reason for me existing nor would there be a reason for any of the other shows existing. And that's something that I think is tragic about podcasting these days is that there are more and more shows on iTunes that are just extra arms or extra wings of the mainstream media. And, you know, I think podcasting needs to remain independent. And the only way it does remain independent is if more people come on here and start their own shows. And so, you know, a big thing I would say, and I'm never gonna be one of these guys who puts out, like, a $2,000, you know, podcasting class or anything like that.

But if it's something you're interested in, I wanna highly encourage you to do so. I am working on a book about my experience on it, and, you know, it's not like one of these guidebooks or anything like that. It's just something I want to get out there into the world because I think we need more people with independent mindsets putting information out there into the world that are not corporately funded, that are not taking on millions of dollars of VC money, and things like that. So that is it for today. You know, the way the word gets out about the Warrior Soul podcast is through you guys.

I don't do any advertising. I don't I don't put money into the social media platforms anymore because honestly, when you start doing that, it tends to water down the view. It tends to water down what you could put out there. And so I'm not looking to take on sponsors or anything like that that are gonna have me water down my message. And so what I am asking you to do is to spread the word.

Again, don't care if you ever spend a dime with Warrior Soul. I don't care if you ever buy anything from us. I make my own money. I have a job that I've done that I've taken on to fund everything that I'm doing here. So I don't care if you ever spend a dime with us.

What I do care about is that this show grows and that we get into the ears of more veterans. And why do I care about that? Because I believe the veteran community is the sleeping giant in this country. And the more of the the more of us that wake up, the more of us that step into being leaders in our own communities, the more of us that take charge of our lives and provide for our families and make the lives of our children better, the more we are gonna transform this country. So all I'm asking you do is share these episodes out, to head over to iTunes, to write us a written rating and review, and to let the world know that the Warrior Soul podcast exists.

In addition to that, if you want to join us in our private mastermind group, the Warrior's Obituary Society, that is a group where a few of us get together each week. We bounce ideas off of each other. We talk about current events. We work to empower each other to live epic lives worthy of epic obituaries. And all new members go through an eight week development program that includes education on fitness, finance, personal relationships, networking, becoming more professional, developing your career.

All of these different things are included in an extremely low priced product and an extremely low priced mastermind. A lot of these masterminds out there go for like a thousand dollars a month. That's not what it that's not what this is. I'm looking to empower this population. So if you're interested in that, head over to www.warriorobituarysociety.com.

And other than that, guys, I wanna thank you so much. I want to, you know, tell you this is still life. This is still The United States Of America. You are still free. But the only way you're gonna remain that way is if you decide that you wanna fight for it.

So that's the deal, guys. I will be talking to you soon. This is Chris Albert, and I am out.
