What annoys me most about him in the interview isn’t his lack of pronunciation, or even the lies he says, but HOW he speaks. In the soft-spoken “oh, I don’t know, it’s for the church.” And his seemingly calm, cool, and collected tone. I’ve never wanted to punch such an artificially kind voice before, but I want to punch his voice.
Men who speak like that are a sure fire sign of being a giant red flag. Especially in the dating scene. You can sense the creepiness spilling from his fake soft spoken voice. Made me want to yank his tonsils out.
Bc its deceptive to young and/or feeble minds and is easier for others to not focus on what they're listening to bc they're relaxed and is at ease which makes them easier to manipulate
IKR!! I was getting so irritated because when I speak to adults (to my psychologist mostly) I talk like this because I get nervous around adults lol (yes I actually DO talk like that, unfortunately, I can’t help it. Maybe it’s my anxiety??

I can't imagine being incurious and not bothering to ever learn about the world around you. The closest I can get is the autopilot mode you experience in a dream where you're at best only partly in control and never fully conscious.
I was spanked with a belt as a usual form of punishment. My parents are Christians. But my parents didn't spank me when they were angry or mad at me. At least they never showed it. It was 3 licks. 1, 2 3. Done. I don't see anything wrong w how my parents disciplined me in all honesty.
@@notforpurposes because there's no reason to freaking hit your kids when you can cognitively reason with them. Respect their intelligence. There are tons more ways to punish a kid than hit them. There's also tons of research that shows that kids who received that kind of punishment are more likely to be violent as adults or even commit violent crimes (assault, etc.). Also, correcting BEHAVIOR and correcting (shit. I forget the word. Let's just say "cognitive intent" if that makes sense.

Not happening. Community churches are massive profit machines which is why theree twice as many in US as mcdonalds. They are tax free for a reason. Those in small churches are simply delusional working men and women desperate to believe any myth, and men willing to exploit that and give back 2% to the "community" 😂
I was living paycheck to paycheck. I was pressured to give. I asked the pastor if the money went to helping the needy. His answer no, just the church community. No one has ever been helped by that Church. Another time he was bragging to another that he was getting a tennis court built. He already had a basketball court and swimming pool. He and his wife wore expensive clothes and neither had jobs outside the church. So I put two and two together.
i'm always shocked by just how extravagant many of these preachers lives are.. like to an extreme of abundance yet the people still give and give and give without question... it's sad to see such blatant manipulation work so well on so many people .. and continues to work even after they have been called out for their schemes.. at this point it seems like you don't even have to be a good actor to be able to do this type of "work" and i genuinely feel sorry for the people that fall for it and end up giving all their money to these pieces of crap.

My grandfather is a pastor. One evening we went out and he asked do I pay tithes. I told him I give my money to different organizations like in my Instagram bio it’s a link tree of organizations people can donate to ranging from helping the homless to kids with cancer. He said that my tithes belongs to the church because it is Gods and that I can’t do what I want to do with Gods money. I said when I give, I know exactly where it’s going but when I give to the church, I have not idea where it goes. He said it wasn’t my responsibility to know where it goes, that God tells the pastors what to do with it and deals with them according to what they do. Nevertheless, I still don’t give my money to the church. I am a woman of God and I love Christ openly but I can admit I do not believe in giving to churches like that.
I sent in a prayer request a couple years ago out of curiosity when he was first being looked into.😂 He never responded, but people who work for him blew up my phone for weeks and wanted to charge me for a prayer.😂 I told them I couldn’t talk because I was at work and never picked up the phone again for them. They called me again out of the blue a few months ago. I guess they keep a record of everyone’s information.
Charge you for a prayer???? *AHHHHHHHHHHHHH* oh my GOD dude that's so blasphemous I cannot (I say as I take the Lord's name in vain 😅 lmao) JAIL, straight to jail for himmm
I may not be really religious, nor preach about how great my church is. I'm not doing this now either, i just wanted to make it clear that this is something I appreciate and think is a good thing. You're not asked for donations. You are just notified that donations are held every month, that you can participate in. And it's not just one, but multiple causes that you can choose to donate to. Feeding the hungry, helping those in poverty get clothing and paying rent, cancer research, etc. The only time a donation is asked is when a tragedy has happened like a hurricane or a dire situation. That's what happened to me when I got hit by a truck at 16. My church talked about my situation and asked that if anyone could help, please do: and they spread it to other branches, and they reached out too. It helped a lot when it came to medical bills, and we didn't even ask them to either. That's, in my humble opinion, how donations should be with churches. This "pastor" pisses me off so much. instead of helping people in need, he prays off of them. It's disgusting.
This is EXACTLY how church supposed to be. My church is an has helped paid rents for those in need, surgeries, food hampers for families in need etc. This man is disgusting and is NOT a christian. u don't use ppl and take from ur own church members. SHAME
The donations collected for him/her went to him/her so he/she can assume for the specific church that the donations go where they say it’s going. Not every church is corrupt. Very many are not.
@@Farleythefloof at this point in time if someone uses she/he or her/him in their sentences to the point of making them unreadable it's a surefire way to know they're just doing it for ideological purposes
All religious groups in America are tax exempt which is great for the small local churches that help the people in their community and keep the church going but a lot of these fakers use that to their advantage. It is absolutely disgusting. Charities are also tax exempt in America. It's a great thing when it's used right but like everything else people take something good and ruin it. Love your video Leo!
I'm surprised no one else pointed out how he said "only thieves are worried about where the money is going" how ridiculously manipulative, idk how people believe that logic and don't see that he's completely manipulating them, even if they'd never questioned anything before, the fact he felt the need to say that sentence should say something but clearly not enough because people are still paying him
The hot thing to do among billionaires is to "donate all their money to charity" A charity that they founded, that they run, that acts exactly as their money used to, only tax free now.
The 501c3 game is what it’s called. Many local pop warner football coaches, non-church affiliated “youth group” leaders, “life coaches,” church pastors, “social workers,” etc are on this game. I’ve seen it from within. There’s many a grifter out here getting that bag off the back of real suffering people via “non-profit” organizations
@@jessica5470 The church I attend actually involves the congregation who can freely join to see where the offerings are going. It’s very transparent. They do a breakdown every month after the main service. It’s boring but it’s good to know how the money is being used in the church and the community
This wasn't an irs audit (unfortunately), this was part of a divorce. The lady attorney (Colleen) represents the husband, who was suing to try and recoup $1M+ that his wife had donated to David Taylor's "ministry." Great video! When you were in the pulpit saying "F you, F you" I was dying bc that's what he really wants to say!! 🤣😅😂💀💀💀
Pastors like him are what keep me away from joining a church. I’m a spiritual person and I do believe in God but I don’t believe you have to go to church to have a good relationship with God. It would be nice to find a church that is completely transparent with the money they get so we know its going to keeping the church up and helping those in need. And I hate that saying “give money to God”. How can you give God money? This man makes me sick!
Hey there :) I just want to say that I totally agree with you. Christianity isn't just a religion, it's your relationship with Jesus and accepting him as the Messiah. You can do this without going to church every Sunday, the reason I do go sometimes is purely so that I can make some time to preach and listen God's words when I didn't have the time to do it. And God really doesn't care about the money of course, He cares about us!
Looking into where the church’s donations go is a good way to figure out the environment an stuff, mine went for communities in the area which is nice considering how rough it is, also the good ones bless animals for a saints day! But that’s Catholicism btw I remember my church doing it tho an everyone bringing animals for it
Priests like to say that God is everywhere and if you lead honest life and are kind and a hardworking person you should be alright, and then they condemn you for not going to church. Church that only cares about money (in my experience).
Jesus said the entire earth was a synagogue, and we can have fellowship anywhere. Just know chruch is SUPPOSED to be anywhere two or more people gather in jesus name, so going to church is sort of mandatory, but only in the sense you and at least one other person come together in his name, tgese organizations are criminal in the spirit and i actively avoid them, they are the vipers and belong in the same group as the people who condemned christ and lived of the sacrifices given at the temple.
We mainly go for fellowship with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. If you are lost and or sick you go to Jesus. Jesus never charged anybody for money to receive the soul saving gospel. Jesus preached wherever he was needed for free while being actively pursued and still led souls to the Kingdom of God. This guy who took advantage of these people is a wolf in sheep’s clothing there are many others like him giving a bad name to Christ believers. But like Jesus said in the end times false prophets will be everywhere and people will appoint these people to preach to them what they want to hear instead of the true gospel and will have itching ear. It’s truly wicked out here
9:28 It isn't only Christian churches that are tax exempt in the US, any religious organization is exempt if they apply for it and meet the requirements. It would be wholesale illegal for other religions to be denied, regardless of the local citizens and how they feel about those religious groups.
It ironically takes so much skill to look that awkward and stilted on camera without coming off overacted, and I am genuinely impressed. Especially since Leo looks so chill and comfortable on camera normally xD
For a moment I thought this was about that pastor who said "I had to buy that private jet, Jesus made it so cheap for me I would be crazy not to buy it" and I got super excited that he got taken down lol. I'm disappointed, he's arguably worse.
BRUH lmfao! this case never gets old. I remember when this happened he was exposed in the highest light and still kept his ministry. He would go LIVE and still ask people for money, banning anyone who would expose him during the live feeds. LOL bro
My man my man!!!!! I watched his ENTIRE deposition years ago, and come back to it every so often. I NEVER thought you would cover this!!! It’s HILARIOUS!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
You’re not wrong, this is prosperity preaching and it’s the most evil thing that I’ve ever seen. I grew up in these types of churches where “pastors” aka con-men convinced poor people to give them money only to stay poor. All the while telling them that they remain poor because they don’t have faith and they are not giving all that they have. SMH so sad but there is a special place in hell for these people.
DUDE!! I remember watching this years ago and being SO VIOLENTLY ENRAGED by him and his disgusting demeanor and poor lying skills…. My misophonia goes HAYWIRE from this dude. I’ve always wondered why no one ever talked about him. AND THEN DADDY APPEARED 🙌🏻
I was thinking how could someone who made a career out of spewing bs, lying and twisting words to trick people into donating their savings could be so inarticulate in the court.
Same. My heartrate was literally elevated watching the fallout of his disgusting behavior. I can only imagine what God thinks of all these false prophets who prey on the innocent and people genuinely looking for the light, and use His name to suck them dry. Very heinous indeed.
I think he must be on some sort of drugs, he can barely string a sentence together it's shocking he's gotten to where he is, I know he's acting that way because he's lying but he's not even attempting to seem sincere, I guess he knows he doesn't need to care because there will always be stupid people who will always give him money, where I'm confused is he seems really dumb how did he manage to manipulate millions

Carcasian. So basically he's a transformer. "I've been a Cadillac DeVille, A Nissan Uktra, A Toyota Corolla, A Chevy S10. And the Lord told me to rev my engine. Amen!"

20-40 dollars are literally make or break for SO many people world wide. Personally been struggling the past few years woth that myself. Had to borrow 34 dollars from a friend last week because my bill was coming out before my check was coming in and it's a 45 dollar fee everytime there's an attempted withdrawal with not enough money. Times are tough and getting tougher because of people who can't accept their mindless greed isn't a good thing.
YO i can't watch this right this second but this is literally one of my favorite videos EVER. i cannot wait to watch you cover this! and i can't wait to rewatch it and show it to my mom 😆😆 been trying to find a way to introduce her to your channel and this will be perfect! 🙌🏾
During him being interviewed about the residential center or resort or Kim JU, his body language is so obvious. He's so good (I use this loosely) at lying and swindling the parishioners, but can't lie for shit on this one.
I just had a lot my clothing stolen from the laundry mat today, I was hoping that this video would make me feel better but now I just feel more agitated. $40 is a lot of money and $40 will not even cover half of the clothing that I need to replace. The fact people think it's not that much money at all just goes to show that they have never understood what it feels like to have to rely on food stamps and 2 to 3 part time jobs :l People like this man just make me sad D:
It gets better brother , keep going. I have had to get help many times, my wife and i have 6 kids, and the pandenic took most good jobs away, the businesses couldnt hold up with the lockdowns. Just knkw it will get better, im still struggling, but i have a roof, food, and safety for my family, so we are still blessed. Its n9t the greatest stuff, lots of second stuff, and brand names dont exist for us, but if we are honest and stay humble , we are good, i work my ass off and still have to balance and be very careful, a mistake or getting wants over needs will sink our ship, but again, just be content with what we have, be humble, and doors open one by one. Ill pray for you

Yoooo!!! Went straight to the comments before knowing what the vid was about and knew RIGHT AWAY when everyone was talking about how much they love watching this guy's testimony. 🤣 Edit: deposition, not testimony
Oh thank God for your upload! I've been suffering all day on my only day off with my ulcer in the hospital! Not to sound like a crybaby lol.. Yaaaay thank u lol
Omg Leo! Thank you for covering this. I watched the depositions awhile ago and still have the same shock, awe, and bewilderment from the first time I saw them.
So, I've gone to church my entire life. I've watched my father tithe insane amounts of $ every Sunday. Once I became an adult I was already a mother and it was very hard to make ends meet. I still went to church every Sunday and I'd tithe every Sunday. Whether it was $5 or $20, I always tithed. There's a few times I've gone to church and gave my last $5 and no shit, within the next couple of days I would end up with enough money to make it through the week. You don't have to tithe a percentage of your income, you don't have to tithe at all! It's a personal choice and if your church puts pressure on attendees, find a new church. It's disgusting how awful some of these pastors are. My grandmother has a few televangelists that she watches and she will send them like $30 a month! She's been doing it for years at her older age since she's not always able to go to church. She's on a fixed income, until my dad passed he was paying her bills and she still barely had enough $ for necessities. But she still gives these a holes $ every freaking month. AND once in a while she'll buy their books. It's so sad how these people prey on older folks. She loves doing it and she's an amazing woman so whatever she wants at this point being 92 is fine by me but it's frustrating. Sorry for the rant. Yes, if you feel moved to give to a church then I'm all for it because I do believe that good deeds are returned 10 fold. But a good church will never pressure anyone into giving money, especially not money you don't have.
I'm sorry that's happening to your grandma. It is disgusting how they pray on older people. It's truly one of the most despicable things a person can do. Sending you love and positive energy🖤
Rant away. If you’re from America like me, I’m sure you know someone, if not your own family, that has been through this. You’re telling my story. I know that aggravation. There’s a special place in heaven for your grandmother ❤️ Edit: I’m not a “Christian” anymore myself…but I do know what a “good Christian” is as I was raised by a few..luckily enough. I truly hope in my heart of hearts they get the heaven we know they deserve ❤️
I never tithe, NEVER shoot I don’t even do any religion or any god and I will always have money and food, BE GRATEFUL AND APPRECIATE OF WHAT YOU HAVE….I AM
@@treshasstarr1513 ironically, here in the Deep South, socialism once revolved around the church. Up north they have social programs..down here we had the church. We tithed to make sure that Ethel could get her insulin & get her car insurance paid so she can make it to the hospital. We made sure everyone in the congregation never went without food, shelter and medical care. That’s where it came from. What it has evolved into is gross and disgusting
If I went to a church service, and the pastor was preaching like this, you bet I'd walk out of that place. I've never heard of anything like this before. Usually, they would say, "Please give, if you can"...not go on in the way that he's doing. It's disgusting.
Just wanted to drop you props. Been watching you for a bit and it’s fun to see your content grow (more editing, longer vids). I know the grind can be tough but I’m grateful for your videos! You’re authentic and funny.
Side note, the part about him beating his child and calling it "discipline" is definitely a biblical thing. The bible literally says its ok to beat your slaves and says you SHOULD beat your children ("spare the rod, spoil the child"). My grandfather had a paddle that hung in his living room with this engraved on it. Its one of the many despicable things about people believing that book.
I love how Taylor would talk about meeting God, but during the deposition when the lawyer would ask him details, and he said he couldn't remember. The lawyer was like “If I met God I would probably remember every detail.”😆
I actually do run a business from my home because it’s a mobile cleaning business that doesn’t require a storefront legally. There’s a portion of my rent that I’m taxed on based on the square footage of my home that i use for business purposes like storing supplies

The donations collected for him/her went to him/her so he/she can assume for the specific church that the donations go where they say it’s going. Not every church is corrupt. Very many are not.
@@yarinya2 just say them, its been used for hundreds of years
@@Farleythefloof at this point in time if someone uses she/he or her/him in their sentences to the point of making them unreadable it's a surefire way to know they're just doing it for ideological purposes
I like how he got quieter and less confident the more she asked about the extravagant stuff he’d been spending money on 🤣
All religious groups in America are tax exempt which is great for the small local churches that help the people in their community and keep the church going but a lot of these fakers use that to their advantage. It is absolutely disgusting.
Charities are also tax exempt in America. It's a great thing when it's used right but like everything else people take something good and ruin it.
Love your video Leo!
I'm surprised no one else pointed out how he said "only thieves are worried about where the money is going" how ridiculously manipulative, idk how people believe that logic and don't see that he's completely manipulating them, even if they'd never questioned anything before, the fact he felt the need to say that sentence should say something but clearly not enough because people are still paying him
The hot thing to do among billionaires is to "donate all their money to charity"
A charity that they founded, that they run, that acts exactly as their money used to, only tax free now.
The 501c3 game is what it’s called. Many local pop warner football coaches, non-church affiliated “youth group” leaders, “life coaches,” church pastors, “social workers,” etc are on this game. I’ve seen it from within. There’s many a grifter out here getting that bag off the back of real suffering people via “non-profit” organizations
@@jessica5470 The church I attend actually involves the congregation who can freely join to see where the offerings are going. It’s very transparent. They do a breakdown every month after the main service. It’s boring but it’s good to know how the money is being used in the church and the community
Not only that they use their funds to influence politics to the detriment of ducking humanity
This wasn't an irs audit (unfortunately), this was part of a divorce. The lady attorney (Colleen) represents the husband, who was suing to try and recoup $1M+ that his wife had donated to David Taylor's "ministry."
Great video! When you were in the pulpit saying "F you, F you" I was dying bc that's what he really wants to say!! 🤣😅😂💀💀💀
11:04 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭 yoooo “or does Jesus not show up in the Polaroids” I’m crying brooo 😭😭 That is an excellent ? 🤷🏾♀️
After this dude said my name Elise, you had to say my little bro’s name Craig afterwards. 🤣🤣🤣 I’m wheezing
Pastors like him are what keep me away from joining a church. I’m a spiritual person and I do believe in God but I don’t believe you have to go to church to have a good relationship with God. It would be nice to find a church that is completely transparent with the money they get so we know its going to keeping the church up and helping those in need. And I hate that saying “give money to God”. How can you give God money? This man makes me sick!
Hey there :) I just want to say that I totally agree with you. Christianity isn't just a religion, it's your relationship with Jesus and accepting him as the Messiah. You can do this without going to church every Sunday, the reason I do go sometimes is purely so that I can make some time to preach and listen God's words when I didn't have the time to do it. And God really doesn't care about the money of course, He cares about us!
Looking into where the church’s donations go is a good way to figure out the environment an stuff, mine went for communities in the area which is nice considering how rough it is, also the good ones bless animals for a saints day! But that’s Catholicism btw I remember my church doing it tho an everyone bringing animals for it
Priests like to say that God is everywhere and if you lead honest life and are kind and a hardworking person you should be alright, and then they condemn you for not going to church. Church that only cares about money (in my experience).
Jesus said the entire earth was a synagogue, and we can have fellowship anywhere. Just know chruch is SUPPOSED to be anywhere two or more people gather in jesus name, so going to church is sort of mandatory, but only in the sense you and at least one other person come together in his name, tgese organizations are criminal in the spirit and i actively avoid them, they are the vipers and belong in the same group as the people who condemned christ and lived of the sacrifices given at the temple.
We mainly go for fellowship with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. If you are lost and or sick you go to Jesus. Jesus never charged anybody for money to receive the soul saving gospel. Jesus preached wherever he was needed for free while being actively pursued and still led souls to the Kingdom of God. This guy who took advantage of these people is a wolf in sheep’s clothing there are many others like him giving a bad name to Christ believers. But like Jesus said in the end times false prophets will be everywhere and people will appoint these people to preach to them what they want to hear instead of the true gospel and will have itching ear. It’s truly wicked out here
This man is a real-life Uncle Ruckus 😂😂
This deposition is so unintentionally hilarious and then you add commentary 🤣🤣🤣 Detective Leo is on the case🎩
9:28 It isn't only Christian churches that are tax exempt in the US, any religious organization is exempt if they apply for it and meet the requirements. It would be wholesale illegal for other religions to be denied, regardless of the local citizens and how they feel about those religious groups.
That part about him being Chinese took me off guard.
"do you claim to be a prophet?"
"i claim to MAKE profits" 🤣🤣🤣
It ironically takes so much skill to look that awkward and stilted on camera without coming off overacted, and I am genuinely impressed.
Especially since Leo looks so chill and comfortable on camera normally xD
I will never skip past the merch plugs because holy fuck they're so funny
For a moment I thought this was about that pastor who said "I had to buy that private jet, Jesus made it so cheap for me I would be crazy not to buy it" and I got super excited that he got taken down lol. I'm disappointed, he's arguably worse.
BRUH lmfao! this case never gets old. I remember when this happened he was exposed in the highest light and still kept his ministry. He would go LIVE and still ask people for money, banning anyone who would expose him during the live feeds. LOL bro
And the idiots kept right on giving their hard-earned money to him🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️.
The problem is there are so many willing to be deceived.
Joel Osteen is still working too🤷🏻♂️
The pastor looks like he has the meme crying eyes permanently 💀💀
Omg he does
“Then why didn’t god fix his hairline…?” 😅
"You offended by my wealth cause you ah T H I E F"
I'm gonna start using that now..
Please tell me I'm not the only one hearing him say "carcasian!" You're so funny, Leo. I love your videos! :)
True he says carcasian lmao
The 401k thing is so awful too bc to pull money out you have to pay taxes on it. So it's like he's having them pay taxes to pay him. Really sad
My man my man!!!!! I watched his ENTIRE deposition years ago, and come back to it every so often. I NEVER thought you would cover this!!! It’s HILARIOUS!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
i would randomly qoute him in my home for months. "she takes care of the account."
@@Typomixer15My landlord asks me where’s rent this month….
“Ask Michelle”
😂
You’re not wrong, this is prosperity preaching and it’s the most evil thing that I’ve ever seen. I grew up in these types of churches where “pastors” aka con-men convinced poor people to give them money only to stay poor. All the while telling them that they remain poor because they don’t have faith and they are not giving all that they have. SMH so sad but there is a special place in hell for these people.
Oh Leo, this is gold! Chef's kiss 💋 The way I screamed when you said, "What's the other ones, just conjugals?" 😭😭😭
DUDE!! I remember watching this years ago and being SO VIOLENTLY ENRAGED by him and his disgusting demeanor and poor lying skills…. My misophonia goes HAYWIRE from this dude. I’ve always wondered why no one ever talked about him. AND THEN DADDY APPEARED 🙌🏻
I was thinking how could someone who made a career out of spewing bs, lying and twisting words to trick people into donating their savings could be so inarticulate in the court.
Same. My heartrate was literally elevated watching the fallout of his disgusting behavior. I can only imagine what God thinks of all these false prophets who prey on the innocent and people genuinely looking for the light, and use His name to suck them dry. Very heinous indeed.
I think he must be on some sort of drugs, he can barely string a sentence together it's shocking he's gotten to where he is, I know he's acting that way because he's lying but he's not even attempting to seem sincere, I guess he knows he doesn't need to care because there will always be stupid people who will always give him money, where I'm confused is he seems really dumb how did he manage to manipulate millions
That is a MIRACLE😉🙏
From one stranger to another. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL 💜
The man, the legend, the king of teeny tiny sips of water. This is already my favorite video to date of yours, thank you for this.
“…the king of teeny tiny sips of water.”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪 factual statement right there🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Like he keeps forgetting that water has no taste, and just wants to make sure. ‘Poor man has no object permanence awareness 🤣
Carcasian. So basically he's a transformer. "I've been a Cadillac DeVille, A Nissan Uktra, A Toyota Corolla, A Chevy S10. And the Lord told me to rev my engine. Amen!"
Not sure if I should feel shamed but I’ve watched all the the interrogation videos. And I’m super excited you are covering it Leo. 😂
SAME!!! I was depositions like I’m watching tv shows .😂😂
Oh no, no shame. Those are CLASSICS.
Just ask Michelle.
You shouldn’t because I watched them too. 😂😂😂😂 I’m a little ashamed because of the time spent but still. 🤦🏻♀️😂
Me too!! Aks Michelle 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't feel ashamed. All the best people have watched his depositions.
This woman has the patience of a saint.
44:07 “Just sit back & relax. It’s over for you.”😂😂😂👏🏽👏🏽
I'm not sure if I'm more concerned that "You Can Do It Right Now" is very listenable and needs to be a song right now you can do it right now Leo you can do it right now, or, at how casually he was able to make such a smash hit on the spot. Impressive.
This is the second time I have seen your merch commercial and dude. Slow clap. Genius comedy 😂
I absolutely love it, too and laugh audibly, which I usually don't do when I am alone. I am older and was alive during those terrible 1980s videos with "special effects".
20-40 dollars are literally make or break for SO many people world wide. Personally been struggling the past few years woth that myself. Had to borrow 34 dollars from a friend last week because my bill was coming out before my check was coming in and it's a 45 dollar fee everytime there's an attempted withdrawal with not enough money. Times are tough and getting tougher because of people who can't accept their mindless greed isn't a good thing.
YO i can't watch this right this second but this is literally one of my favorite videos EVER. i cannot wait to watch you cover this! and i can't wait to rewatch it and show it to my mom 😆😆 been trying to find a way to introduce her to your channel and this will be perfect! 🙌🏾
Yeah, I was excited too for seeing Detective Leo 😄
Detective Leo needs a trench coat with matching hat, a worn-down desk in a poorly lit office and an open bottle of scotch.
I love that I share a country with Leo, even more so after "just chill out, you're being deposed; sit back, relax, it's over for you."
During him being interviewed about the residential center or resort or Kim JU, his body language is so obvious. He's so good (I use this loosely) at lying and swindling the parishioners, but can't lie for shit on this one.
I just had a lot my clothing stolen from the laundry mat today, I was hoping that this video would make me feel better but now I just feel more agitated.
$40 is a lot of money and $40 will not even cover half of the clothing that I need to replace.
The fact people think it's not that much money at all just goes to show that they have never understood what it feels like to have to rely on food stamps and 2 to 3 part time jobs :l
People like this man just make me sad D:
To be honest the only reason I've been able to get through this pandemic with some of my sanity intact is because of Leo's vids :]
Life is hard dont give up 💕
Sorry about your others. That shit sucks.
It gets better brother , keep going. I have had to get help many times, my wife and i have 6 kids, and the pandenic took most good jobs away, the businesses couldnt hold up with the lockdowns. Just knkw it will get better, im still struggling, but i have a roof, food, and safety for my family, so we are still blessed. Its n9t the greatest stuff, lots of second stuff, and brand names dont exist for us, but if we are honest and stay humble , we are good, i work my ass off and still have to balance and be very careful, a mistake or getting wants over needs will sink our ship, but again, just be content with what we have, be humble, and doors open one by one.
Ill pray for you
I was so excited realizing you had the actual deposition footage! Lol. This is golden
Your merch read is probably the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Thank you for the laughs and brightening my mood.
That ad was almost as good as an Internet Historian one. Like. Really really. And he’s got the best ads on UA-cam.
I remember a time going out meeting with this chick,she was nice but she kept going on about missing her ex
By the end of the night I started missing his az too 😢
My favorite response to "Be more Pacific" is "would you like for me to say it in Samoan?"
I have real tears in my eyes laughing at Leo. Ive seen this deposition several times but NEVER like this. 😂😂😂
Same same when I feel my lowest I always watch Leo and wine box others too but Leo is one of the top ❤
Yey in bed sick and miserable then Leo appears to brighten up my night ✨✨✨
Sorry you’re sick, genuinely hope you get better. Over Christmas break I got so sick I lost my vision for two days, so it makes me look at health in a more appreciative light. Hope you get better, and recover fast!
@@bobsburgers8497 oh I'm so sorry you went through that, I hope you are getting back to good health. thank you for your best wishes
Bobs burgers is our favourite show in our house 😁
@@chantelvenessa 💕💕
That merch ad was absolutely chaotic. I love it
Yoooo!!! Went straight to the comments before knowing what the vid was about and knew RIGHT AWAY when everyone was talking about how much they love watching this guy's testimony. 🤣
Edit: deposition, not testimony
Leo preaching has me rolling over here 😂😂😂😂
Omg!! I watched his deposition videos so many times, I am so happy you did this one!! He crosses me out!
These are the type of people.. that’s why I don’t go to church anymore
If I had 30k I could spend (throw away) on clothes, I would not even think twice about donating or helping people with that instead. Disgusting.
Thanks Leo.....cant wait to get a quiet hour free of kids on summer break to listen to this. Love your BB from Melbourne Australia🙏🌏💙
Oh thank God for your upload! I've been suffering all day on my only day off with my ulcer in the hospital! Not to sound like a crybaby lol.. Yaaaay thank u lol
Yo the merch commercial is S tier, im buying 1,000 shirts RN !!! 🤣❤
Watching this man talk is pretty excruciating. I was legit concerned for him when he couldn't remember his children's birthdays
The only deep dives I can watch without getting distracted by other social media platforms. I don't even check my notifications once I click play 🤣
Well Leo there’s no female billionaire , because she gave it all away duh ! 😂
Can I have the picture! ❤
Omg Leo! Thank you for covering this. I watched the depositions awhile ago and still have the same shock, awe, and bewilderment from the first time I saw them.
The merch plug reminded me so much of that Always Sunny episode with Charlie’s ad for his Kitten Mittens lmao
So, I've gone to church my entire life. I've watched my father tithe insane amounts of $ every Sunday. Once I became an adult I was already a mother and it was very hard to make ends meet. I still went to church every Sunday and I'd tithe every Sunday. Whether it was $5 or $20, I always tithed. There's a few times I've gone to church and gave my last $5 and no shit, within the next couple of days I would end up with enough money to make it through the week. You don't have to tithe a percentage of your income, you don't have to tithe at all! It's a personal choice and if your church puts pressure on attendees, find a new church. It's disgusting how awful some of these pastors are. My grandmother has a few televangelists that she watches and she will send them like $30 a month! She's been doing it for years at her older age since she's not always able to go to church. She's on a fixed income, until my dad passed he was paying her bills and she still barely had enough $ for necessities. But she still gives these a holes $ every freaking month. AND once in a while she'll buy their books. It's so sad how these people prey on older folks. She loves doing it and she's an amazing woman so whatever she wants at this point being 92 is fine by me but it's frustrating. Sorry for the rant. Yes, if you feel moved to give to a church then I'm all for it because I do believe that good deeds are returned 10 fold. But a good church will never pressure anyone into giving money, especially not money you don't have.
So god blesses you when you donate but your poor & elderly gran gets fk all. Interesting.
I'm sorry that's happening to your grandma. It is disgusting how they pray on older people. It's truly one of the most despicable things a person can do. Sending you love and positive energy🖤
Rant away. If you’re from America like me, I’m sure you know someone, if not your own family, that has been through this. You’re telling my story. I know that aggravation. There’s a special place in heaven for your grandmother ❤️
Edit: I’m not a “Christian” anymore myself…but I do know what a “good Christian” is as I was raised by a few..luckily enough. I truly hope in my heart of hearts they get the heaven we know they deserve ❤️
I never tithe, NEVER shoot I don’t even do any religion or any god and I will always have money and food, BE GRATEFUL AND APPRECIATE OF WHAT YOU HAVE….I AM
@@treshasstarr1513 ironically, here in the Deep South, socialism once revolved around the church. Up north they have social programs..down here we had the church. We tithed to make sure that Ethel could get her insulin & get her car insurance paid so she can make it to the hospital. We made sure everyone in the congregation never went without food, shelter and medical care. That’s where it came from. What it has evolved into is gross and disgusting
If I went to a church service, and the pastor was preaching like this, you bet I'd walk out of that place. I've never heard of anything like this before. Usually, they would say, "Please give, if you can"...not go on in the way that he's doing. It's disgusting.
my favourite youtuber! ive been binging your videos over the christmas break and it's exactly the kind of escape i need
Your merch ad gave me serious "Tim&Eric" vibes and I love it
Just wanted to drop you props. Been watching you for a bit and it’s fun to see your content grow (more editing, longer vids). I know the grind can be tough but I’m grateful for your videos! You’re authentic and funny.
Side note, the part about him beating his child and calling it "discipline" is definitely a biblical thing. The bible literally says its ok to beat your slaves and says you SHOULD beat your children ("spare the rod, spoil the child"). My grandfather had a paddle that hung in his living room with this engraved on it. Its one of the many despicable things about people believing that book.
The only amount of anything he remembered is how many times he hit his kids. 🚩🚩
There is a special place in Hades for that guy
Hades is just a place where the dead go, regardless. I think you meant hell
Getting a notification for sixteenleo videos are like opening a christmas present everytime!
Leo is why I turned on notifications. I had them ALL set to “off.” Had to switch up my whole game🤣
the judge probably had to take a recess after he cut that fart
Omg why do I laugh everytime I watch the plug for your merch. Much love from 🇦🇺
I’ve been waiting for this day, Leo gon finally get this nigga 😂🤣👍
Your 80s themed Merch ad is a whole vibe 🔥 💜
Michelle is definitely gonna be some over worker legal representative for this guy.
Good god, I will buy merch just for the ads! I mean Leo, you’re great, but the commercials, they are fantastic! 💃🏻🕺
This was in michigannnnn?!?!??!😭😭 bro it’s always some crazy shit goin on here
always love the vids leo, so proud of you! your comedy continues to refine and evolve itself and im so excited for your future!
I love how Taylor would talk about meeting God, but during the deposition when the lawyer would ask him details, and he said he couldn't remember. The lawyer was like “If I met God I would probably remember every detail.”😆
You said my name right!! Thank you so much Leo!!! 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
Okay , ur merch plug , im DEAD & there will bells on
For a representative of God he sure cannot avoid the temptations of Chik-fil-A and other kinds of fast food IM JOKING
my name is Bentley and i was NOT prepared for how many times my name would be said in this video
Detective Leo is my favorite character of yours. Love this
Ok new drinking game for Leo
Take a shot every time he says the word “give” haha
He's such a difficult person, he makes me so mad I just started laughing 😂😂😂
This guy looks like EDP and Hard Rock Ick’s love child.
Same intelligence too. 😂

Your merch ad is so unconvincing, my sponsor blocker add on didn't even pick it up. Thats hilarious XD
