A lot of chatters have made jokes about how I have not had a uh I have not had a a um a credit card for most of my life

and refused to get it. Okay. But you

know there is a there is a principle behind that too. It's not even like an ethical thing. It's just that I've

ethical thing. It's just that I've always been I've always had the mentality where it's like the the the idea that I have to like take on debt specifically so that uh specifically so that people can realize that like or

institutions can recognize that I'm uh good with the debt is so stupid and it's it's weird because like must be nice. No, I'm talking about even No, I'm

nice. No, I'm talking about even No, I'm talking about when I was broke. Dude,

what the There should be Huzz were not broke.

Okay. No, I was I know that a lot of people say that that's not the case, but I absolutely was. So, one of the funniest things about Jank's nephew is the insecurity that this man displays

time and time again across the internet.com. And this is been

internet.com. And this is been represented recently with him basically trying to pretend that his origin story is the same as Asmin Golds, despite the

fact that we know for a fact that nothing could be further from the truth.

Again, Jen's nephew was a rich kid. His

parents actually schemed to birth him in the state of New Jersey as an anchor baby so he can get US citizenship. I was

born in New Brunswick, New Jersey and uh my parents wanted to do that so that I would have an American citizenship so that one day I could be the president.

Not that's that second part is not true.

But I then immediately was shipped back off to Turkey. His father worked at a major financial institution in the nation of Turkey and was a multi-millionaire, somebody who was

important in politics. And his mother was somebody who owned multiple properties in the United States of America and worked as a landlord. And by

the way, was able to actually live off of the income that she generated from rent while Jen's nephew is claiming this period of time that his family was broke and went to university. So, it's just

absurd. It's ridiculous. It's insane.

absurd. It's ridiculous. It's insane.

But we got to talk about the fact that this guy is so disconnected from how Americans that are actually struggling experience those struggles that even his

explanation for what he used to do when he was broke, wink wink, is absolutely ridiculous and absurd and only goes to demonstrate how far removed from ever being broke this man has been throughout

his entire life. But before we get into that, I want to thank everybody who makes sure I don't go broke by supporting me over at actualjusticewarrior.com/join.

actualjusticewarrior.com/join.

>> Give me the money. Give you give me the money. Okay.

money. Okay.

>> It's so crazy that this is the this is Oh my god. I do not have a billionaire parent. You losers. Okay. Oh my lord.

parent. You losers. Okay. Oh my lord.

It's so funny because all of this is straight up on camera. Okay.

I know. But you still were not.

Look, I understand that among socialists, it is not a good look that most of their mainstream representatives are people who grew up incredibly privileged, incredibly wealthy. And in

fact, part of the psychology that leads people down the path to these far-left beliefs is the idea that they feel like they didn't earn anything throughout the course of their life. Their parents

covered them at every step of the way.

Therefore, they project that onto everyone else, claiming that nobody earned anything. And essentially the

earned anything. And essentially the government should play the role that their parents played in everybody's lives. But at a certain point, you just

lives. But at a certain point, you just got to let it go. You got to stop pretending that you were broky at any point in your life because all this does is make you look ridiculous. And in

addition to that, you're so far removed from ever struggling that we're laughing at your examples because they sound like chat GPT came up with them. And again,

they only show us how out of touch you actually are. In addition to that, I

actually are. In addition to that, I will also point out that a huge portion of this has to do with the fact that Asminold is the actual guy on Twitch that has now surpassed Jenk's nephew

with this origin story. So, we're going to hear from Jen's nephew about how he never changed his lifestyle after he earned a lot of money. How's your

experience becoming rich differ if you don't mind explaining? I mean, I am obsessed with uh doing the same that I've been doing. When I was making 60 grand a year, I was doing the exact same thing that I'm doing now. But in

reality, that's not really true. This

guy's been going on private jets, going to fancy concerts, again, doing Hollywood parties, all these different things that elite people do. And again,

while he's at these various locations, he's bragging about how he makes more money than everybody that is present.

Now, you compare and contrast that to Asmin Gold, who's from a non-wealthy part of the country, a non-wealthy family, who started streaming on Twitch while he was taking care of his sick mother. And even though he has enormous

mother. And even though he has enormous success, the guy still lives in his absolutely disgusting house. And by the way, this is something that Jenk's nephew has made fun of him for because

Jank's nephew, the guy who bought a super fancy house, the guy who said his dream car was a $250,000 Porsche. Again,

just like when he was when he was making 60K, not living up to the luxury lifestyle, makes fun of Asminold for this. He calls him roach boy and all

this. He calls him roach boy and all sorts of other things because he looks down on this person. That again is actually what he wants to represent himself as. But Asmin Gold is a stunning

himself as. But Asmin Gold is a stunning reminder that Jen's nephew has always been in a privileged position his entire life. I got money back from the American

life. I got money back from the American government my first year of employment.

Okay. So again, this is exactly what I'm talking about when I describe Jenk's nephew as completely out of touch because he says that a way that you know that he was broke was that in his first

year of employment, he actually got money back from the IRS when he filed his taxes, which again is a stunning example that Jenk's nephew has no idea

how the US government works, how withholding works, and again how your income doesn't necessarily determine whether or not you're going to get money back at the end of the year when you file your taxes.

>> Even even at the point where I was on Twitch, I was making 60 grand a year.

>> So Jen's nephew says that he made $60,000 a year and he was able to get money back from the IRS. Now, to be clear, the reason Jen's nephew was making $60,000 a year in Los Angeles was

because his uncle gave him a job, handed him the start to his career in the industry, and was paying him 60K.

>> And uh my dad was like, "You have to go to like law school or get an MBA or something right?"

something right?" and I was not really necessarily interested in that. So, I was just like, "Yeah, sure. I'll study for law. I still

"Yeah, sure. I'll study for law. I still

I'll study for my LSATs in California, Los Angeles."

Los Angeles." >> At the time, uh you guys probably know this, but if you don't, my uncle has a YouTube channel called The Young Turks.

>> It was like a 26 person shop. It was

like a, you know, tiny operation, not that big, >> not that media behemoth or anything.

Um, so I was like, "Yeah, I'll just go work with him, do an internship with him, and I'll live in LA."

>> So, I just want to point out that Jen's nephew is completely lying and downplaying the impact that his uncle's help had on his career. Because in 2013, the Young Turk's main YouTube channel

had 4.2 million subscribers. In addition

to that, if you look up this LA Times article about TYT at the time, what you find out is that at this moment in time, Jenk was also doing a separate show on

Current TV, which is what he did after MSNBC. So, the idea that this was a

MSNBC. So, the idea that this was a small ranky dick network because they didn't have a lot of employees is absurd. Obviously, they had a huge

absurd. Obviously, they had a huge platform. They were probably getting

platform. They were probably getting better views then than they are today.

They just launched on Roku. But Jen's

nephew has to downplay any hand up that he got because again, he has a pattern of pleading poverty, of pleading struggle when there was no struggle.

>> That wouldn't necessarily even push the needle. I will be very honest. It's

needle. I will be very honest. It's

really embarrassing, especially cuz my boss is sitting right there. I make I make $60,000 a year, okay? And that's a really good salary.

>> And according to Jen's nephew, because he was so broke, he ended up getting money back from the IRS. But again, that is not how this works. What happens is is when you do withholding throughout

the course of the year, sometimes the IRS takes more money from you than you actually end up owing when you file your taxes. And then when you do file your

taxes. And then when you do file your taxes, you get some of that money back.

And by the way, this is true of people who again are W2 workers that make significantly more than 60K. My wife

before we got married and she was filing her taxes individually would always get money back and she worked as a parallegal at a law firm and yes she made over 60k a year in New York State

in New York City very high taxes over here but guess what because she was doing withholding she got money back my first year on YouTube where this was

actually my job I made about $21,000 and guess what at the end of the year when I filed my taxes because I'm a 1099 999 and I don't get money taken out of

my paycheck through withholding. I ended

up owing money. My mom works as a nurse.

She's approaching retirement age, putting in a lot of overtime, makes over 100k a year at this moment in time. And

guess what? Each and every year, she gets money back because that's how withholding works. That's not how being

withholding works. That's not how being broke works. I got money back from the

broke works. I got money back from the American government my first year of employment.

Okay, so right off the top, Jank's nephew's explanation for how he's broke because he got money back has nothing to do with his income level and has everything to do with the amount of

taxes that were withheld from him that year. I don't know why people think that

year. I don't know why people think that they know better than myself about my my actual existence, my living circumstances. I lived in the kitchen of

circumstances. I lived in the kitchen of a frat house the first year I lived here.

even even at the point where I was on Twitch, I was making 60 grand a year, which is literally nothing for Los Angeles, okay, with three roommates.

Now, he also says that he lived in the kitchen of a frat house with three other roommates. And again, this is presented

roommates. And again, this is presented as an example of being broke. And sure,

he could not afford maybe at that moment in time on his income alone to have his own apartment again while working at the job that his uncle ended up giving to

him because he is a Nepo baby. But that

does not mean you're broke. In fact,

again, if you're living with four roommates, that is a way to reduce the cost of your rent. So on 60k, splitting rent four ways, he was very likely living much better than the average

person who has to live alone or lives with one other person on that same salary. He was probably better able to

salary. He was probably better able to live in a more ideal part of Los Angeles due to the fact that he was splitting his rent four ways. Then he also says, "Look, I was actually buying on sale

chicken at the grocery store. Therefore,

therefore, I was totally broke."

>> Yeah, there's like uh clips that you can find from back then >> just by getting this chicken out of the the little container. And um

unfortunately, a lot of people use like organic chicken and whatnot. I use

whatever kind of chicken I can get because uh I'm not very wealthy. So,

that's part of the reason. This is like a very >> No, but I'll have you know, I was actually lying. I was faking it. I was

actually lying. I was faking it. I was

actually a billionaire at this point.

But I just chose to I just chose to lie and and continue along with this lie by living with three roommates at the time.

>> So right here, Jen's nephew is using as an example of him being totally broke, buying on sale chicken, chicken that is marked down for manager special because it has to be expired that day in order

to cook it up in order to get a high protein diet. Because you guys all know

protein diet. Because you guys all know out there in the audience, the non brokies are the ones that are definitely focused on their diet, definitely trying to get more protein in their body. And

this is just lowclass nonsense right here, buying chicken that is not organic or freerange and whatnot from Whole Foods. He had to go to Ralph with all

Foods. He had to go to Ralph with all the other pores in order to get his high protein meal. Again, this is absurd. It

protein meal. Again, this is absurd. It

just shows how out of touch he is. And

if I were to give an example of like grocery shopping from like a broke mindset that sticks with me to this day from a period of time where I was not poor, but I was definitely broke and there were definitely struggles. I would

always point to cereal. Like I still to this very day will not pay more than $2.50 for a box of cereal. I refuse to buy it unless it's on sale. And the

reason for that is because back in the day I could not afford to pay $45 for a box of cereal and get my other groceries. So that mindset still sticks

groceries. So that mindset still sticks with me at this very moment. But again,

even though I make way more money than I did back when I was making 20K a year, I still go grocery shopping pretty much the same. I still picked the same kind

the same. I still picked the same kind of meats because guess what? I like to cook and I would pick stuff that I enjoyed cooking that was affordable. And

by the way, this is all proven out when you actually watch my food stamp video where I ended up cooking up a bunch of food on the food stamp budget. And also,

I will point out everybody who didn't watch my video on how to make a turkey, shame on you because I put a lot of effort into that in order to save you guys from bad Thanksgiving. So, I'm

disgusted by that. I just want you to know. But again, this is not an

know. But again, this is not an indication of somebody being in poverty.

The only thing that has changed is that like there has been a tremendous quality of life improvement um in terms of of things that I can pay for, right? I no

longer have to I no longer have to do the the the same calculations that I used to have to do like you know paying for Uber and uh whether or not I will be able to actually uh pay for rent at the

end of the month right like those are the the the massive I used to describe it as such okay being poor is very costly okay being poor is incredibly

expensive and it's like a it's like a consistent weight on you okay there is a there's a tremendous amount of weight on your shoulders at any given given moment and a lot of a lot of rich people especially a lot of rich people who have

been rich for a very long time lose sight of that reality.

>> So right here Jenk's nephew is talking about how he differs from other people who got wealthy because he remembers what it was like to be poor and have that weight on him. And again I will point out the man was never poor. He had

one of the most secure jobs in digital media in that his uncle was giving him an opportunity to work at way inflated prices by the way 60k for the content that he was producing. Absolutely

absurd. And in addition to that, he was able to build up his Twitch audience, which by the way, Jenk's nephew's uncle was actually generous enough to not demand a piece of, which would be

standard at a digital media company, which allowed him to be successful to this very day. But of course, Jen's nephew's like, "Listen, I'm not out of touch. Let me explain to you guys out

touch. Let me explain to you guys out there in the audience, all you fellow pores, exactly what I was concerned about back in the day when I had to do things that you regular brokies went

through and you can relate to. In the

past, if I had to travel, one, I would have to make the the travel arrangements myself, right? I would have to make

myself, right? I would have to make travel arrangements myself and I wouldn't have enough money to make those travel arrangements. So, I had to like

travel arrangements. So, I had to like nickel and dime it. I had to like literally talk to the uh to the, you know, university that's sending me there um to to make sure that they uh made sure that my travel arrangements were

decent and and if they w if they didn't have money to to fly me out, then I would have to, you know, pay for it myself or the hotel myself and stuff like that. And then I had to figure out

like that. And then I had to figure out which hotel I could stay at and and how cheap the the travel accommodation uh would look like from the hotel to the university, stuff like that. These are

all of the things that you have to worry about, right? I no longer have to worry

about, right? I no longer have to worry about that. So Jen's nephew is

about that. So Jen's nephew is unintentionally one of the funniest people in the entire country. Let's be

honest about this. This guy's talking about how, oh, when I was a poor, when I was riffraff and human garbage like you guys who give me money, uh, I had to make my own travel arranges myself. I

didn't have somebody to do that for me.

And then he starts talking about trips that the university would send him on as if this is relatable to the average broke person. Now again, I will compare

broke person. Now again, I will compare and contrast to me who I'm not claiming that I grew up poor. I had periods of my life when I was broke. And guess what? I

never did travel when I was in university because I couldn't afford it.

In fact, I took semester off in order to save up enough money in order to pay for the next semester. So, the idea that I was going to do basically luxury travel for classes or for whatever thin

justification, absurd and ridiculous.

And then the idea that I would complain about the university grant or whatever not covering enough of the travel and me having to pay for part of it also insane. And I'm sure many of you out

insane. And I'm sure many of you out there in the audience when you're actually struggling are not thinking about your vacations. In addition to that, this guy's talking about it like he's reading it off a chat GPT. Then I

had to assume that I could afford a flight, but now I can pay for flights.

Then I had to see a hotel that I could afford. as if that isn't something that

afford. as if that isn't something that people look into normally whenever they're traveling. And I'll give you

they're traveling. And I'll give you again an example from my own life, and you guys will tell me if you think this is more relatable. So, I went on a trip after I graduated college with three of my friends to Los Angeles. And the way

that I booked my hotel, and I forget if it was through Expedia or Priceeline, was this method where you picked like the category of hotel, which was like a three or four-star hotel, and the

general area that you want. And in order to save money, you have to agree that wherever they assign you, that's where you'll stay. That is how I booked my

you'll stay. That is how I booked my hotel. And I ended up at a hotel that

hotel. And I ended up at a hotel that was by the Los Angeles airport while I was over there. And I also rented my car in the same exact way. Again, you pick the type of car that you want. It was a

compact. And then you end up picking the

compact. And then you end up picking the dealerships or the rental companies like in a category and they will assign you one in order for you to save money. And

it was non-refundable. So again, I ended up getting my car in like Compton or something like that or I forget what that other bad neighborhood is in Los Angeles. Now I did a quick check and the

Angeles. Now I did a quick check and the neighborhood where I picked up my car was actually Englewood, not Compton. The

name I was looking for was Inglewood, not Compton, because that's where they assigned me. That is how I would travel

assigned me. That is how I would travel back in the day for a long time. And by

the way, I did the very same thing when my wife was going to do a tour for Twolane University, one of the law schools that she got into, in order to help her book her hotel. And by the way,

my wife actually grew up in poverty, actually grew up in public housing.

Definitely worse off in her growing up than I was. Now, again, I don't complain about this period of my life. In fact, I remember that trip rather fondly. And

one of the things that I still think is a stunning and excellent victory on my part is that the hotel that I was staying at was near like a Proactive company or something like one of their office buildings, you know, the acne

cream. And I ended up figuring out while

cream. And I ended up figuring out while I was there because parking at the hotel costs like $37 a night, which was insane, that the people who worked there actually left their parking spaces in

and around 5:30 or 6:00 p.m. each and

every day, and they were opened up and free spaces. So, I would actually time

free spaces. So, I would actually time everything I was doing while I was in Los Angeles to get that free parking because there was no way I was going to be able to cover the cost of parking.

Now, again, no complaints about this because back then that was a luxury. I

didn't travel much at all throughout my early 20s. So, this was a nice thing to

early 20s. So, this was a nice thing to do as I was approaching 30 years old with my friends because they wanted to go and based on the split with all of them, it became affordable. And I have

no complaints about the extra effort that I had to put in. And honestly, I like gamified it. I had fun with it because again, this was not like a struggle. I could have avoided all of

struggle. I could have avoided all of this cost if I wanted to because travel like this was completely unnecessary.

The things that are dark about being broke are like instances like when my first girlfriend ended up breaking up with me after 2 and 1/2 years. And I was actually broke due to a lot of financial

stress that was put on my family due to factors that I don't want to get into at this moment in time. And I actually had to borrow $45 from her after she broke up with me. Like, do you know how embarrassing that is? Do you know how

ridiculous that is? And then I had to pay her back after the fact again. And

she didn't really want to talk to me because we had broken up in part due to the fact that I needed to borrow money from her in order to pay for some things after we broke up. Now, look, again,

that wounded my pride back in the day, but like now it's something that I laugh about. And again, you compare and

about. And again, you compare and contrast that actual experience that happened to me to Jenk's nephew talking about living with a bunch of roommates so he could enjoy Los Angeles while he

pulled in 60K a year from his uncle's company. Insane and ridiculous. Again,

company. Insane and ridiculous. Again,

most broke people as soon as they get out of college do not have a job lined up for them right away at a family company. They're worried about student

company. They're worried about student loans and they end up moving right back in with their parents at all. And that

is a majoring burden. that is a major major major burden that is lifted as far as like my own personal experiences goes. Um a major burden has been uh

goes. Um a major burden has been uh lifted off my shoulders as far as like having to nickel and dime every single thing that I do. And also beyond that I

you know I have people that I pay that uh I have people that I pay that can deal with this stuff.

>> Again booking your own travel to me is not something that is a great burden even though I've improved my income dramatically. Again I'm not a

dramatically. Again I'm not a millionaire. I'm definitely still a

millionaire. I'm definitely still a thousandaire, but I'm definitely pretty well off, especially compared to where I was. And I still play the credit card

was. And I still play the credit card game and use points and whatnot and deals through American Express in order to get the best travel accommodations at the lowest prices. But that is so you can feel luxury and you can share that

luxury with people like my wife who met me when I was flat broke, got me my first camera, got me my first laptop for editing and started to make this whole thing happen. Like that is the

thing happen. Like that is the improvement and that is the thing that I enjoy about making more money now. And I

am still similar to what I did back in the day. But I obviously am knowing what

the day. But I obviously am knowing what hotel I'm going to stay in before I book it. And I'm not in situations where I

it. And I'm not in situations where I have to desperately borrow money from people in order to cover ordinary expenses or I'm not doing like side hustles in order to make extra money like I was in university where I would

get up at like 2 3 in the morning in order to give my brother's friends rides to UPS for cash. Basically operating an illegal Uber in order to actually have enough money to pay for school.

>> Right. That's anothering major burden um lifted off of my shoulders that I don't have to like make these arrangements and things of that nature.

>> Oh my god. Poor baby. He had to at one point in his life, if you can believe it, book his own travel. What a

struggle. What a burden that he was under when he was definitely broke and struggling in his life. I mean, again, now he has no budget basically for his travel. Sometimes it's probably paid for

travel. Sometimes it's probably paid for by the Chinese Communist Party. Maybe

not saying anything, just pointing out that it's incredibly likely. But back in the day, he actually had to not have somebody do all of this for him. And

that is truly the struggle. Again, this

is just not reading as realistic. He

talked about how his family went broke.

Now, of course, we know that's a lie. We

understand that's a lie. But notice how he never tells us anything that he does because he's worried about himself going broke. Like one of the things that I do

broke. Like one of the things that I do behind the scenes and again you can ask a great number of creators that I'm actually friendly with is try to help people set up their retirement and certain amount of money for investments

because I don't want them to struggle financially because growing up I saw my parents not understand personal finance.

though I learned it, I taught it to them and I try to teach it to other people because this is an actual concern that I have which is going broke because of certain shocks during my upbringing

where things got really bad. Jen's

nephew is talking about how he had to actually book his own travel and how sad it was that he had to pick his own flight. Seriously. And also instead of

flight. Seriously. And also instead of like flying economy as a 6'4, 240lb guy, u now I can fly business which is infinitely more expensive than economy.

But when you fly business then now I can sleep. Again, Jenk's nephew just reads

sleep. Again, Jenk's nephew just reads so incredibly false and it's absolutely hilarious because the examples that he goes to for how it's like to be a broken,

again, most people who are broke are not participating in luxury travel. Unless

of course they're broke living off credit cards and they should be on the Caleb Hammer show where they're spending outrageous amounts of money that they don't have. But people actually trying

don't have. But people actually trying to live within their means. These are

not the concerns that they have that they don't have the money to pay somebody to book their flight for them or they don't have the Chinese Communist Party to book their flights and travel arrangements and clear them to do a

propaganda tour across their country.

But you know what? Those are just my thoughts. I want to know what you guys

thoughts. I want to know what you guys think about Jenk's nephew playing poor in front of his audience yet again despite the fact that it's so hollow and so false down in the comments below. As
