Looks to me like an accident in the making
Air Wagner Jerry and Russ Battle the weather and a missed approach in Cessna 414 N8134Q on Feb 15 20
He appears to believe that you can have "personal minimums" which are lower than the published ones, especially in a twin.

It worries me that so many new pilots are watching his videos and learning from him.
Unless there are two Jerry Wagners in Auburn, CA (which is possible, I suppose), these appear to be about the same guy:

I watched and was thinking it was mainly ok. Then I got to the two approaches.
He flew both approaches at Cat C speeds. There is no Cat C authorised at that airport.
He incorrectly briefed the Cat A circling minima. The aircraft is Cat B and cannot use a lower minima.
He bust the Cat A circling minima anyway on the basis of 'proceeding to secondary minimums'.
He bust the LPV Cat A/B "secondary" minimums anyway by 50' before deciding to go missed. "I got the airport" does not authorise descent below straight-in minimums.
The second approach was too high and too fast the whole way. Predictably enough he popped out way steep and made a dirty dive for the 3500' wet runway before floating halfway along as he bled off the 25kts (!) excess speed over the threshold.
