So when I had my daughter, I texted some of the guys in the Operation Black Site crew, and I said I would die for my family, but I would kill for my daughter.

I love that. That's awesome. It's been burned in my mind. And a lot of people told me, like, well, once you have a child, like, your brain will change, your heart will change. And I'm not that emotional of a guy. Like, I've had 40 people pass away, so I've become numb to a lot of things the last couple years. And so I didn't think it was going to happen. And then once I held her... It happened.

And then once I held her... It happened.

All of them were right. You guys were right. Whoever you guys were, all 40 of you plus were right. My mind changed, and it made me much more serious. I started training more often. I started working out more often. I texted all my friends, Andy Frisella, Michael Chandler. I texted them saying, I'm going to start working out way more often because of her. It changed my entire mindset.

So there's four main things that happen during Operation Blacksite. I'm going to walk through each one of the four so you can talk to me about each one. There's learning how to shoot. And we use all airsoft guns here, just so everyone knows. Because we have an animal sanctuary with 200 animals, we don't use live ammunition here. So it's all airsoft guns.

But we have a full training center over there. We have a shoot house there. The local police, K-9, SWAT, and sheriff use it every single week. And so we've had, I don't know, 40, 50, 60 times now where the police departments come in. We do it for free for them. And they were here twice this week. And they typically bring 20 to 50 guys out to go through K-9, SWAT.

We're doing their best to so we do shoot training We do fight training Escape training with Chris and Carly and then we also bring in trauma So people learn about what to do in situations with tourniquets and things like that Let's walk through each one

on the shoot training side we kind of asked you earlier about why is it important but why is it important to be proficient to actually know how to handle a gun how to load it how to point it how to shoot it

Right.

Right.

What I've also noticed is that the most skilled at fighting are really good at de-escalating and they actually don't want to fight. They want to fight for fun because fighting is fun, but they don't actually want to fight in like a normal street setting unless someone is wronging them or their family. Why do you think that the people that are highly skilled are so good at de-escalating?

Yeah, we did an episode with Vince Ritchie, and it literally showed up at his doorstep. It was three or four guys showed up at his doorstep, and luckily he'd thrown the... The video went very viral, got hundreds of millions of views. Luckily he threw the tea in the guy's face, pulled the gun out in 1.6 seconds, and was able to defend his wife and daughter inside.
