I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
Yeah, so I saw your interview with Newsome, and it was a great interview overall.
But the thing that stuck with me is he asked you about why you quit drinking, and you said, I want to be more successful, or I want to be successful, or
More successful, yeah. And I quit drinking a year and a half ago, and I'm actually writing a book about it that will come out.
Yeah.
And what it's done for my life. Well, I think as a business owner and a father and a dad, Even if you didn't drink all week and then Friday night you had a few, I would wake up Saturday morning and just be tired and not engaged with my kids as much as I wanted to. So that was one aspect. And then it was just the ups and downs of owning a business. The stress, the anxiety. I mean, you know.
Oh, yeah. And I wanted to just test it out. So I had a major surgery. I had my hip replaced. And I said, I'm just going to try it after the surgery. And I just felt better and better. And I felt quicker. Yes. And I think the most important thing is that I was able to, like, when I had struggles, I was able to recover from them quicker, right? I mean, I don't know how it's affected you.
And the first month that he stopped, he's like, I'm not sleeping as well. And I'm like, actually, you're finally sleeping.
Just, you know, clarity, conversations, employees, like interactions. Like my, I'm not as, I'm never a pretty even keel person generally, but from time to time I would, you know, get frustrated and, Most of that's gone. Frustration with your kids has gone. I mean, it's never gone away, but it's gone down. But you're more centered. You're more present.
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it's just been a really smooth. I'd say the hardest part was the reaction from other people. People are a little taken aback by it.
I don't know. I just, I, I just go into all the social settings like everybody else. And then I just, I can hang out in any environment and I just talk.
I could still do it. And, and I don't judge anybody. Like I, you know, if they come to me and they want to ask questions or whatever, but I have found a lot of people around me have slowed down just because they have seen what it's done for me and how they, and they, they're, so they haven't, I haven't pushed it, but it's, I think it's, becoming more of the... Oh, it's becoming trendy right now.
Yeah, it has been. It's been extraordinary. And just like to be able to gather more information. I feel like I can just take in a lot. And if you and I have a conversation, I want to remember more.
Yeah, 100%. Yeah, I mean, Andrew Huberman has lots of videos, and I've watched them.
Everything, yeah. So it's been good, and yeah, it's definitely helped, and we've been so busy. Well, yeah, let's talk about that.
Yeah, well, I think that when President Trump got elected, people didn't know what was happening in the markets. I think everyone just paused for a few months. And then once he moved forward with his agenda, which the big agenda would be the tariff conversation, I think a lot of the money didn't know what was going to happen. And so we just had this real flight to safety.
Coupled with the fact that the last quarter, if you remember, but when we were talking about gold last year, which was already running. Totally. The retail U.S. retail market was late to the game. So the European market was buying. Central banks have been buying. They bought a thousand tons of gold for four years in a row. But our U.S. market was late.
So the last quarter of last year, they started to dive into gold. You started to hear about it. Hedge funds are buying gold. Big, big groups, Apollo Group, all these started buying gold.
Yeah, exactly. And and then this year, it just, you know, people still they didn't know where to go. They know what's going to happen. There's this is inflation going to be around. How is that going to affect things? So gold started to go up. So since President Trump's been in office.
And I think it's we've been seeing this for a long time. And also gold hadn't moved up as much as some of the other things that had gone up with inflation. I mean, we all saw all the inflationary numbers over the last two years of electricity costs and everything that had gone up pretty substantially. But gold hadn't moved.
