1 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: Good evening, America, Happy Friday, and welcome to the latest 2 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: edition of Just the News, No Noise. I'm your host, 3 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: John Solomon, reporting to you from the nation's capital, where 4 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: today the news continues to get. 5 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 2: A little bit better. 6 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: For the economy, we told you earlier in the week 7 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: we had the lowest trade deficit since two thousand and nine, 8 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: when Barack Obama was in office. We now had today 9 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: a slightly better than expected jobs report, suggesting and the 10 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: unemployment rate ticked down a little bit, our performing expectations 11 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: just a little bit, a sign that the dolgrums of 12 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: the Biden economy is wiping away. Donald Trump's economy is 13 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: beginning to take root in America, Amanda, Before we get 14 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: to our first guest today, I think a lot of 15 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: the media been rooting for bad economics, and they keep 16 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: coming in a little bit better, little hotter, a little 17 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: and more surprising. You got interest rates down about a point, 18 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: You got gas down about fifty forty cents some places 19 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: two dollars. It seems like twenty six, as you've been writing, 20 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: is shaping up to be a little bit more joyful year. 21 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: At the dinner table, water. 22 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 3: Cooler and the gas tank yeah, you know, there are 23 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 3: so many dynamics that play into this, and mainstream media 24 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 3: is going to find all of the angles that they 25 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 3: can to spend this as. 26 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 4: A bad report. 27 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 3: But the fact remains that Americans are getting back to 28 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 3: work and they are seeing prices decrease, as you said, 29 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 3: for things like gas, which is so vitally important because 30 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 3: that plays. 31 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 4: Into a whole range of things. 32 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 3: It plays into grocery store prices which are taking they're 33 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 3: going to continue precipitously ticking down because of you know, 34 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 3: supply chain costs. All of that plays into American optimism. 35 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 4: And when you look at a lot of these poles. 36 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 3: Now we covered one last year that was right after 37 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 3: the shutdown, and it was it was not great. It 38 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 3: showed that sentiment at that time towards the economy mirrored. 39 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 4: What it was during Joe Biden's urn. But that has changed. 40 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 3: The interrupted shut down was what caused that Americans are 41 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 3: feeling more optimistic, and you know, going into this year 42 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 3: where we've got midterms, it's going to be so vitally important. 43 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 2: You know. 44 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 4: One of the things President Trump. 45 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 3: Did last year with the USDA was a lot of 46 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 3: measures that he implemented to bring grocery store prices down, 47 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 3: start cultivating products here in the United States, which is 48 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 3: a whole part of his agenda America first, bringing manufacturing 49 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 3: and agriculture. 50 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 4: Back to the States, and all that I hope is 51 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 4: going to. 52 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 3: Come to a head so that the American people can 53 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 3: feel some relief this summer. 54 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: That's what I think the President and his team is 55 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: banking on. You mentioned angles. There's a new angle of 56 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: the Minnesota shooting, and you can clearly see how that 57 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: we told you. We knew the ice officer had to 58 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: be in the front of the car because the bullet 59 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: hole went through the glass. How did he get to 60 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: the front of the car? CNN tried to suggest he 61 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: wasn't filing protocol. He was on the side of the 62 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: car until the driver backed up when she. 63 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 2: She lined up directly to put him in the direct 64 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 2: path of her car before she peeled out. 65 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: All those at other locations who jumped the gun before 66 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: all the evidence came in, which is very important, we 67 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: now know how he got to the front of car. 68 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: It wasn't because the bad judge around his part, because 69 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: the car changed its angle before it exited trying to 70 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: flee from the police. All right, man, we got a 71 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: great way to kick off our show today. 72 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 2: All right, folks. 73 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: A lot of times at justin News we talk about 74 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: what's wrong in government. 75 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: Right. 76 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: We expose the wrongdoing, the fraud, the misk abuses of power. 77 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: Every so often we find an agency that's going in 78 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: a different direction getting things right. And at the Veterans Administration, 79 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: now that is the storyline. Twenty new regional centers being 80 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: opened up, the backlog of the famous backlog of cases 81 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: cut nearly in half over the first year of the 82 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: Trump administration, eight hundred million dollars of new investments going 83 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: into infrastructure. Things are getting better for our amazing men 84 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: and women who served in the armed forces and are 85 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: now our veterans. Joining us now to describe how he's 86 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: done it and what comes next is the Secretary of 87 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: Veteran Affairs, Doug Collins. 88 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: Mister Secretary, welcome up boy, good to have you on 89 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 2: the show. 90 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 5: That's great to be with you. Always a lot. 91 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: Of progress in an agency that for a long time 92 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: was known for a lack of progress. First, give us 93 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: your time wise of what you think are the most 94 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: important improvements in the first year, and then tell us 95 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: what comes next. 96 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 5: I'd love to. 97 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 6: I think one of the first things is is we 98 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 6: just it starts back almost a year ago now, and 99 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 6: that is a new vision at the VA, which sounded 100 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 6: at the time I was a you know, sort of 101 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 6: say like, you know, this is what this always should be. 102 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 6: And that was simply that the veteran came first. At 103 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 6: the VA, we put back the only reason for us 104 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 6: to exist. We put back at the very focus of 105 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 6: what we do and everything is that about a veteran 106 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 6: walking through the door or making a phone call or 107 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 6: making an inquiry. And so when you take a whole 108 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 6: organ bureaucratic organization that for the lot of its time 109 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 6: and energy has been sent how does it treat itself 110 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 6: instead of how did it treat its customer? Then you 111 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 6: have a way to start making great progress. Our people 112 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 6: have done that, Our VA employees have done that. And 113 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 6: so you see what you talked about earlier. It's over 114 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 6: sixty percent closer now that we've cut from two hundred 115 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,559 Speaker 6: and sixty thousand down to one hundred thousand backlog claims 116 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 6: over one hundred and twenty five days. 117 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 5: We're down to eighty. 118 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 6: One days of time to completion four via claims benefits. 119 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 6: That was almost at one hundred and forty five days 120 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 6: when I first stepped in in February of last year. 121 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 5: And if we can get some. 122 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 6: Help from our brothers and sisters over at DOW, we're 123 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 6: going to actually possibly be able to within this year 124 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 6: conceivably get disability claims down to being processed with around 125 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 6: thirty days. That's the kind of stuff that you do 126 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 6: when you put emphasis where it needs to go. 127 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 3: Well, and it's not just a volume of veterans served, 128 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 3: it's also a cutdown in the time that it takes 129 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 3: to serve them. Talk to us about that that timeline 130 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 3: has gone has shrunk. 131 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 5: Let's say it has. 132 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 6: And you know, look, there's been a lot of said 133 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 6: over last year, and we've talked about it a little 134 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 6: bit when I've been able to be with you. Is 135 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 6: you know, we readjusted and one of the things that 136 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 6: we're doing this new year is we did a real 137 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 6: organization of our hospital system, making it more streamlined and 138 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 6: instead of it being top heavy of policy and bureaucratic maze, 139 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 6: of everybody doing what I called the Camel Committee, everybody 140 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 6: got an input and to make something supposed to be 141 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 6: a thorough red racehorse that ended up looking. 142 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 5: Like a camel. 143 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 6: We said, no, who is the most important in our system, 144 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 6: and that is our hospitals and our clinics, those frontline 145 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 6: workers who actually take care of our veterans every day. 146 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 6: And so we turned sort of the almost like my 147 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 6: friends Bobby and Kennedy and Brooke did on the food pyramid. 148 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 5: We turned the pyramid upside down. 149 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 6: We made it to where the hospitals are the point 150 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 6: of where we're at and not the bureaucracy. And we 151 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 6: made it easier for our doctors, nurses, and our administrators 152 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 6: to take care of patients and streamline the others. Put 153 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 6: more people back into hospitals, more people, so that ends 154 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 6: up keeping less weight times, more activity, more community care 155 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 6: options as. 156 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 5: We go forward. 157 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: I was with some veterans over the holidays and one 158 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: of them said something to me and was really struck by. 159 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: I said, the most exciting thing I heard from the 160 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: new VA secretary is that the VA isn't just a 161 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: healthcare agency. It views itself as a national security agency, 162 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: meaning the care of our veterans make sure that our 163 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: men and women are always cared for because they secure 164 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: our national security. Talk a little bit about that mindset change. 165 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: Obviously there's a customer mindset change, but there's also a 166 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: realization that the VA services bring national security. 167 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 5: It is, John, and that's a great point. 168 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 6: When I first came in, the other thing was I 169 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 6: said to everyone that the VA was no longer going 170 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 6: to be the sort of excuse and whipping posts for 171 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 6: DC elites and media and Congress and everybody else to say, Oh, 172 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 6: I'm going to show myself to be patriotic. So I'm 173 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 6: gonna talk about how bad the VA is. We're going 174 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 6: to say where we have issues, but we're going to 175 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 6: fix those, but we're also going to tell you where 176 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 6: we're good at and what people forget is is in 177 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 6: this country, the VA is the literal heartbeat backbone of 178 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 6: any national security contingency we have, especially from a mass 179 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 6: casualty incident to a natural disaster to god bid, a 180 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 6: kinetic contact with a peer to peer. We're going to 181 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 6: be that medical background, that medical infrastructure in the background 182 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 6: of our dow And so we're a national security agency anyway, 183 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 6: not just from the perspective of taking care of the 184 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 6: warfighter after they retire and after they get out, but 185 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 6: also as we actually are committee to taking care of 186 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 6: our community in times of crisis, in war or pandemics, 187 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 6: as we did just a few years ago. So I've 188 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 6: put weirs, repositioned ourselves to re mind everyone that we're 189 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 6: is as much national security as Homeland or DOW or 190 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 6: Intail or anywhere else, because we provide a vital function 191 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 6: that without us, it would be very hard to carry 192 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 6: out those national security functions, mister Secretary. 193 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 3: Oftentimes you find that when you partner the governmental sector 194 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 3: with the private sector that that. 195 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 4: Really gets the engine roaring. 196 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 3: And when it comes to the VA, bringing in the 197 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 3: private sector is a huge part of the success. You 198 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 3: bring more doctors along, you can see more patients. 199 00:08:59,000 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 4: Talk to us about that part. 200 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's great. 201 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 6: Community care has been something that the President is really 202 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 6: I sort of smile when I say, the main thing 203 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 6: our president understands is that he understands getting letting the 204 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 6: veteran go to the community if they need to get 205 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 6: a doctor that they want to see. And that was 206 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 6: from the Mission Act years ago, and now we packed 207 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 6: that we've just expanded that out and said, look, we're 208 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 6: going to make it easier and more applicable for a 209 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 6: veteran to get into the community that they need to. 210 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 5: Now we're going to have a direct care system that's 211 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 5: going to be next to no One. 212 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 6: We're going to be the elite, and we're going to 213 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 6: have that they want to stay inside the system, they can, 214 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 6: but if there's a need that their caregiver of them decide, 215 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 6: then we put best medical interest in line where they 216 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 6: can go and get that care in the community. And 217 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 6: we've just are continuing to expand on that. We got 218 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 6: a new system coming out this year that's out right 219 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 6: now that's going to even expand more options for us 220 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 6: to work with. 221 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 5: I'm so excited right now. 222 00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 6: I do have an interesting sort of a hot off 223 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 6: the suppressed kind of stat I just found out in 224 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 6: the last twenty four fourty hours as we were looking 225 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 6: at our stats. You know, there's a lot of especially 226 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 6: my friends across the ALO, accused of trying to privatize 227 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 6: the VA, which is never going to happen. But what 228 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 6: we found was is we had an increase in our 229 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 6: direct care appointments and stuff this year that we've not seen. 230 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 6: Although community care was going up as well, but direct 231 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 6: care was going up to which tells me that our 232 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 6: hospitals are doing what they're supposed to be doing, and 233 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 6: our veterans are actually wanting to go to their VA 234 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 6: direct care medical centers. 235 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a big that's a big change. That is 236 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 2: a big, big change. 237 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: I want to turn to another innovation that you have 238 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: pushed very hard, and that is getting these new regional 239 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: centers out there in between the gaps of the hospitals 240 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: and big hospitals. I think about two, twenty or twenty 241 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: four of them you've done. Now a revolutionary idea. Tell 242 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: it that what that is doing to the experience of veterans. 243 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 6: It's helping out a lot. And we're making we're putting 244 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 6: the clinics are sea box what we call them. We 245 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 6: put those in places that allow for drive times to 246 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 6: be reduced. I mean, we built them all over the country. 247 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 6: Like I said to you said twenty plus, Well, you know, 248 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 6: I'll just use an example. Down in Hampton Rose in Virginia. 249 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 6: There's just a large community of veterans there with the 250 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 6: Navy presidence, Air Force presidence, everybody else's presence. But yet 251 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 6: we were at a certain point in time they were 252 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 6: having to come through the tunnels and across the bridge 253 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 6: to get to the VA Medical Center from the South. 254 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 6: Now we have a seabot that is a large seabot 255 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 6: that's going to handle over thirty to forty thousand veterans 256 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 6: so they don't have to go take those long trips 257 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 6: in long tunnel ways back over to the hospitals. 258 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 5: We've done one in Fredericksburgs, We've done. 259 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 6: Them all over the country, and those are really what 260 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 6: we're doing is cutting the time down so that people 261 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 6: number one can get the care that they need. But 262 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 6: also it goes into something deeper, guys, in the sense 263 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 6: of if it's closer and easier accessible, just as it 264 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 6: is in the private sector, then they're actually our veterans 265 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 6: are going to get the preventive healthcare that they need. 266 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 6: And that is such a big, big concern for me, 267 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 6: is that we take care of veterans who have a 268 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 6: higher propensity for diabetes, have a higher poteniity to high pretension, 269 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 6: they have a higher propensity for cholesterol issues and others. 270 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 6: We're able to get those checked early, which cuts our 271 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 6: long term costs and gives the better quality of life. 272 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 3: Sarah, before we let you go, the previous administration placed 273 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 3: a priority on DEI, injecting it into every administration under 274 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 3: the sun including the VA. I know that's something that 275 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 3: is no longer a presence there at the VA. Has 276 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 3: it been only benefits from its departure. 277 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, it has. It just puts us back to doing 278 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 6: what we do. We need people. We need the best 279 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 6: workers at the best time, at the best place, and 280 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 6: that's the criteria that we look for. We don't care 281 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 6: you know where you come from, what your background is. 282 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 6: When you come to the VA, put your best foot 283 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 6: forward and that's what we need.

And that's why some people 382 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 8: say that the al Shabab terrorists received some of the 383 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 8: Minnesota and American tax payer money via this way, because 384 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 8: we know that Somalia is a corrupt country. 385 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: It's just amazing, and you've predicted all of this.

What have we learned? 387 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: We get the sense that Congress is now starting to 388 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: get briefed and get more details beyond the episodic things 389 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: that we've. 390 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 2: Learned from reporters. 391 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: What do you think is the next big shoot of fall? 392 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: Why would Governor wats look. 393 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 2: The other way? 394 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: Why would the TSA under Joe Biden look the other way? 395 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: And it seems as though all the signs were blinking 396 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: red and no one wanted to stop it. Is there 397 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: a theory about what was going on with all of 398 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 1: this cash? 399 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 8: Well, I think that when you look at what's going 400 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 8: on in Minnesota right now, all the investigations, and then 401 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 8: there's no question, there's no reason rather that Minnesota won't 402 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 8: give their voter rolls to the federal government, and there's 403 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,479 Speaker 8: a reason why Minnesota won't give their snap benefit roles 404 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 8: to the Secretary of Agriculture to look through them to 405 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 8: make sure there's no snap benefit fraud or election fraud. 406 00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,239 Speaker 8: And in fact, Minnesota is fighting against giving that up 407 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 8: after all that's happened, that, after all the fraud that's 408 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 8: happened in Minnesota. And I was had the privilege of 409 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 8: taking part of the oversight committee hearing just yesterday in 410 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 8: our nation's capital, three members of Minnesota's fraud committee who 411 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 8: did an excellent job testifying and answering questions. Any reasonable 412 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 8: person that watched that testimony and listened to the questions 413 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 8: and answers has no doubt that Governor Tim Walls either 414 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 8: is complicit or was totally out left field on this. 415 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 8: It was clear as day to so many people. And 416 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 8: the fact of the matter is there was whistle blowers 417 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 8: being threatened. In fact, whistleblowers were asked where their children 418 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 8: go to school, what kind of car they drive, and 419 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 8: where their. 420 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 7: Bus stop for their children are. 421 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 8: This was the threatening type of behavior coming from Tim 422 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 8: Walls and his administration. 423 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 7: And so it's all in the open now. 424 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 8: I think next month Walls and Keith Ellison are going 425 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 8: to have been subpoena to come to the Oversight hearing 426 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 8: and talk about this. And you're just seeing a failed 427 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 8: governor and Minnesotans are being punished because of it. You know, 428 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 8: just this Monday, Tim Wilson he's not running for a 429 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:18,959 Speaker 8: third term. 430 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 7: He knew he wasn't. 431 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: Going to win. 432 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 8: Even even moderate Democrats have had it with him in 433 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 8: Minnesota and many many Independents because of what he's done 434 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 8: and what he's failed to do, and the accountability factor 435 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 8: is not even in his repertoire. He does not understand 436 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 8: accountability and leadership. We know that, and he's misled people 437 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 8: in so many ways. And then the inflammatory rhetoric that 438 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 8: he calls ICE agents, the Gestapo, and Nazis. It's just 439 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 8: simply unacceptable, really offensive from a former law enforcement officer 440 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 8: as myself. 441 00:20:58,560 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 4: Sir, I want to ask you. 442 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 3: I was at the one earlier today and the Vice 443 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 3: President came and spoke at the podium at length about this. 444 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 3: One of the things that he talked about was the 445 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 3: fact that there is going to be a new position 446 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 3: at the Department of Justice and Assistant Attorney General who's 447 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 3: going to oversee looking at all of these instances of 448 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 3: fraud that could be taking place, obviously in Minnesota, but Ohio, California, 449 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 3: a lot of other states. Do you feel that having 450 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 3: that kind of overarching position at the DOJ to look 451 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 3: into this is going to obviously help the cause, But 452 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 3: is it going to multiply the efforts of everyone underneath? 453 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 7: I think so. 454 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 8: I talked to Attorney General Pam Bondi two days ago 455 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 8: prior to the hearing on the Venezuela Venezuelan capture Maduro, 456 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 8: and she said that they are putting the forces in 457 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 8: Minnesota to stop this fraud. 458 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 7: And I mean right now, it's historic proportions. 459 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 8: And I do believe somebody dedicated to Minnesota and tell 460 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 8: until we can we're convinced as Minnesotans that the fraud 461 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 8: has stopped. I think that the federal government will be 462 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 8: there until we're all convinced that there's no more frauds 463 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 8: and it's cleaned up. And also people are held accountable. 464 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 8: When you know about it, you have a duty to 465 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 8: report it. 466 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 7: Uh. 467 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,959 Speaker 8: And if if Tim Walls knew about it or had 468 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 8: INDI indication, he had a duty on behalf of Minnesotan's 469 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 8: to do something to stop it. Yet the whistleblowers were berated, threatened, 470 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 8: and retaliated against. And listen, this isn't this Uh, this 471 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 8: is not easy for me to talk about, you know, 472 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 8: Minnesota elected officials. 473 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 7: But the truth, this is the absolute truth.

And Tim 520 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 8: Walls and Jacob Fry, the mayor of Minneapolis, would rather 521 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 8: stand with these violent felons and these violent criminals. 522 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 7: It does not make sense to me. 523 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 3: When people in Minnesota deserve better than criminality and obstruction 524 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 3: and fraud and everything that they are dealing with. Congressman, 525 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 3: thank you so much for fighting on behalf of the 526 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 3: people of your state. 527 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 7: Thank you very much. 528 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 3: Absolutely all right, everybody, we're going to take you a 529 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,199 Speaker 3: very quick break and we'll have much more for you 530 00:25:54,240 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 3: on the other side. 531 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 4: Welcome back, everybody. 532 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 3: A couple days ago, I sat down with Colonel Rob 533 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 3: Maynus to discuss the US seizing a Russian linked oil 534 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 3: tanker in the North Sea. And it's even more important 535 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 3: now as the United States has seized a fifth oil 536 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 3: tanker in the Caribbean earlier today. So what's behind the strategy. 537 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 3: I'm going to let Colonel Maynus explain. Watch here with 538 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 3: me in the studio to discuss this further. Is a 539 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 3: retired colonel and host of the Rob Maynus Show. He's 540 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 3: also the founder of Gator Pak. Colonel Rob Manus, Colonel 541 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 3: thanks so much for being with us. 542 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 9: Thanks for having me. 543 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 3: It's delightful to have you here in person. Two Southerners, 544 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 3: so we're kindred spirits. Let's start with the news of 545 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 3: the day. This Russian flagged oil tanker. 546 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 4: The Ruskies deemed this as piracy. 547 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 3: I would say that they were complicit in a crime 548 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 3: accessories to a crime because this is fully sanctioned oil 549 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 3: from Venezuela presumably. 550 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 4: So where do we go. 551 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,360 Speaker 3: From here in our relationship with Russia because they've been 552 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 3: real great allies of Venezuela. 553 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 10: Well, you know what everybody's been talking about, Well, how 554 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 10: does the president put pressure on Vladimir Putin in the 555 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 10: war in Ukraine? 556 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,959 Speaker 9: And these two are tied together, I believe, Uh, And 557 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 9: that is the. 558 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 10: Big question was how does he sanction the countries that 559 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 10: are buying Russian oil because it's countries like India who 560 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 10: are who are our friends too, and we want to 561 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 10: have good relationships with so so this way we now 562 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 10: have the ability to intercept that oil and those tankers 563 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 10: coming to and from Russia because Russia is selling oil 564 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 10: and they're getting stuff back. 565 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 5: Uh. 566 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 10: And the Shenanigans that were played with this particular vessel, 567 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 10: it was I believe that originally the Belo won and 568 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 10: in the middle of the North Atlantic overnight, all of 569 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 10: a sudden they got Russian registration and a flag painted 570 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 10: on it by hand. So, uh, those are games that 571 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 10: they're playing. But you know it originally started out as 572 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 10: sanctioned oil. 573 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, and we knew that. 574 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 3: I think they had originally evaded our coast guard off 575 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 3: of the coast of Venezuela, so we knew exactly what 576 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 3: was going. 577 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 4: On with them. 578 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 3: So for Russia now, when it comes to their supply 579 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 3: of oil, they obviously also get it from Aaron. But 580 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 3: how much of a squeeze is this now put on Putin? 581 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 3: I think that's a great point that you brought up 582 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 3: to end this war with Ukraine. 583 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 10: Well, it's going to put a squeeze on them because 584 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 10: you're talking about inbound and outbound traffic, and Russia makes 585 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 10: dollars or rubles off of their sale of their goods too, 586 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 10: so it's going to put somewhat of a pinch on them. 587 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 10: It's hard to tell exactly how much at this point, 588 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:37,400 Speaker 10: but the disruption that's happening in the Gulf of America 589 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 10: now in the Caribbean and the Atlantic will be enough 590 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 10: to get his attention. And I think the President's been 591 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,959 Speaker 10: looking for some type of leverage without completely crushing our 592 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 10: own friends and allies, to try to figure out how 593 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 10: to get Vladimir to come to the table a little 594 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 10: bit more than he is so we can end the 595 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 10: war in Ukraine. In the bigger picture, though, I mean 596 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 10: the strategy of prioritizing the string to the United States 597 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 10: and the Western hemisphere fear and going. 598 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 9: Back really to the Monroe doctrine. 599 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 10: This is a little bit different than the original Monroe 600 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 10: doctrine which was designed to it was mainly designed to 601 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 10: keep the colonial powers like the UK. 602 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 9: And Spain out of the Western hemisphere. 603 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 10: But China's been doing essentially that type of work in 604 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 10: the Western Hemisphere. You remember when the President's administration came 605 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 10: back in, China had control of the Panamount Canal, and 606 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 10: we're still in talks and discussions and operational movements to 607 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 10: eliminate that control over the Panama Canal. 608 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 9: And put it back in Americans control. 609 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 10: China, I believe, was establishing a combat naval port in 610 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 10: Venezuela so that they could freely operate the disrupt US 611 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 10: shipping and US Navy operations in the Gulf of America 612 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 10: if they were to ever go to war with US 613 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 10: in Taiwan, That's what their goal is is to if 614 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 10: they're going to project power across the Taiwan Straits, they 615 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 10: have to have a way to disrupt our operations and 616 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 10: keep us from being able to respond and control the 617 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 10: sea lanes and sea lines of communication and the Pacific 618 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 10: so that we can come to Taiwan's aid if that's 619 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 10: what's necessary. So the big picture is this is really 620 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 10: all about China. Russia's a big player in the Western 621 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 10: hemisphere at this point, but China is a much bigger player. 622 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 10: This strategy directly impacts the Chinese ability to operate freely 623 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 10: in the Western Hemistry. 624 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, fear and the heart for sure, and I want 625 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 3: to get to more on that on a moment. But 626 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 3: I also want to get your big picture perspective on 627 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 3: President Trump's foreign policy in this second administration. 628 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 4: The first administration. 629 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 3: Obviously focused on some really great policy, the Abraham Accords, 630 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 3: something that was historic in that region. I remember when 631 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,959 Speaker 3: I was in Israel in twenty eighteen, and I remember 632 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 3: the flights that I had to take to go to 633 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 3: Morocco because. 634 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 4: I couldn't fly directly to Morocco. 635 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 3: Abraham Accords come along and opens up the skies, it 636 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 3: opens up trade, all these things. The second administration is 637 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 3: to me, I mean, the foreign policy theory for President 638 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 3: Trump is precision strike and get out, and we did 639 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 3: that in Iran. 640 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 4: We have not done that in Venezuela. And it seems 641 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 4: to me that rather than what. 642 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 3: We have seen with previous administrations with protracted conflicts like 643 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 3: in afghan Afghanistan and Iraq, now we've got a president 644 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 3: in office who is creating structures of deterrence with swift action, 645 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 3: and then you know, there obviously is fallout and there's 646 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 3: a restructuring of the relationship, but it's really so quick 647 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 3: that it's almost it almost happens in a flash, and 648 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 3: before we know it's happening, it's over. 649 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 10: Yeah, the idea is and you saw a brief glimpse 650 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 10: of this one he killed Solimani in Iran. 651 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 9: That is the exact type. 652 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 10: Of operating structure and command structure that I expected President 653 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 10: Trump to do in his second administration. It's one of 654 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 10: the reasons why I supported him. So the phrase peace 655 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 10: through strength, re establishing that peace through strength and all 656 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 10: of this flurry of kinetic operations that are really fast, 657 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 10: not designed to establish a foothold on the ground, to 658 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 10: try to remake some country that's never going to become 659 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 10: a democracy in our image, and not doing those things, 660 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 10: it's doing a couple of things. One, it's re establishing 661 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 10: our strength, because you can't have peace unless the United 662 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 10: States is strong. 663 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 9: You've seen all the enemies and adversaries. 664 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 10: That have attacked us over the years, both in our 665 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 10: own homeland and externally overseas, and it's still happening today. 666 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 10: But the message is getting out, and that message is 667 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 10: if you mess with us, This president and future presidents, 668 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 10: if the American people have their way, will operate like this. 669 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 10: It's very much like we operated under the Teddy Roosevelt 670 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 10: administration and some other administrations in the past. Thomas Jefferson's administration, 671 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 10: the original taken on the Barbary pirates that were attacking 672 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 10: us merchant shipping and those kind of things, sending the 673 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 10: Marines in, so it goes way back in our history. 674 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 10: It's the way America ought to be operating because we're 675 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 10: not about empire. We're about protecting our vital national interests 676 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 10: and our people and our commerce is our vital national interest, 677 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 10: and that's what we're going to do. 678 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 9: That's what this is all about in Venezuela. 679 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 10: Even though it's targeted at China, in my opinion, it's 680 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 10: still telling the locals down here in the Western hemisphere 681 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 10: that the United States is back. We're going to behave 682 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 10: like the United States again. We're not going to go 683 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 10: soft on you, and you need to come to the 684 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 10: table and let's be prosperous to get and do business 685 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 10: together instead of fighting, and you're doing a lot of dying, 686 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 10: and that's the way you re establish peace or strength. 687 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 3: Do you think that message resonates with Columbia's leader and 688 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 3: Claudia Sheinbaum in Mexico, Well, that. 689 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 9: Has yet to be seen. 690 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 10: But before the President reelected, I myself and others were 691 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 10: all out advocating very vocally that the United States use 692 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 10: of our armed forces ought to be focused on our people, 693 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 10: our borders, and our vital national interests. And it's within 694 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 10: our Biden national interest for the United States to declare 695 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 10: the narco terrorist cartels official terrorist organizations. And there are 696 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,800 Speaker 10: a lot of facilities and capability in Mexico and Colombia 697 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 10: that have not been touched yet, and we have some 698 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 10: very good special ops forces. As you can see now, 699 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 10: that message has gone to shine bomb and gone to 700 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 10: the Columbia guy, and I would expect that if the 701 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 10: President doesn't get a response in a way that we 702 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 10: need to get it from them where they're taking control 703 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 10: of their own countries again, that those targets will start 704 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 10: to be being struck. 705 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 4: All right. 706 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 3: I want to finish with China their insidious way of 707 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 3: weaving into all different factions of American society, including what 708 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 3: we have seen in these protests since the capture of 709 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 3: Nicholas Mudurero, the extraction in Nicholas Mandurea. 710 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 4: However you want to. 711 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 3: Put it, a lot of protesters who are now carrying 712 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 3: the mantle for Venezuela are organized by a CCP linked 713 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 3: organization China. 714 00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 4: It seems like a desperate move to me. 715 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 3: But do you since desperation or do you feel like 716 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 3: over there in China that she thinks that things are 717 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 3: all good and that the trade relationship he's still got 718 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 3: leveraged there? What do you think their feelings are after this? 719 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:11,839 Speaker 9: Look. 720 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 10: I'm a member of the Committee on Present Danger China 721 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 10: was fortunate to be invited to join that when they 722 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 10: first recreated it out of the Committee on the Present 723 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 10: Danger Russia in the old days. And we've been operating 724 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 10: for a few years, and we've been identifying China's both 725 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 10: insidious and really overt infiltration into American society and this 726 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 10: demonstration thing. Every time you've seen a demonstration from the 727 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,879 Speaker 10: left against something that America is doing in its own 728 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 10: interests and you see these pre made signs and those 729 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 10: kind of things, that's coming from some kind of organization 730 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 10: that's behind it has got to cut out from the 731 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 10: CCP's intelligence operation and influence operations. 732 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 9: In this country. 733 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 10: And unfortunately, there are hundreds of thousands of operatives in 734 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 10: this country that buy let in through the southern border 735 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 10: that are not tracked. There may be a few that 736 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 10: are tracked, but most are not, and we don't really 737 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 10: have any idea what they're up to. A story just 738 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 10: broke yesterday that Barkstell Air First Base, where I was 739 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 10: assigned for seven years and help recreate the Nuclear Command 740 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 10: Global Strike Command down there has a golf course at 741 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 10: the two miles off the south end of the runway 742 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 10: and two miles off the north end of the runway, 743 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 10: and both of those. 744 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 9: Golf courses have been bought by a former. 745 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 4: CCP intelligence goodness. 746 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 10: Exactly calls himself a Chinese business owner and those kinds 747 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 10: of things. But it's obvious that kind of purchasing has 748 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,359 Speaker 10: got to stop, and our Congress needs to take action. 749 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,439 Speaker 10: Our state governors and legislatures need to take action to 750 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 10: prevent this kind of activity from happening. But that's by 751 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 10: no means the first that's just the latest that we 752 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 10: know about. We've got a challenge inside the country. We've 753 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 10: got to get a hold of that. Just like we're 754 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 10: taking them on overseas and taking them on in the 755 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 10: Western Hemisphere, it's time for Americans in America to step 756 00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 10: up and take care of this problem internally. 757 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a generally established truth that if 758 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 3: a Chinese businessman is wealthy enough to buy two golf 759 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 3: courses with premium property, they're probably linked to the Chinese 760 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 3: Communist Party. 761 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,840 Speaker 10: There's no Chinese business it's not as that's not linked 762 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 10: to either the People's Liberation Army or the Chinese Communist Party, 763 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 10: and their intelligence apparatus are both. 764 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:18,320 Speaker 9: Most likely both. 765 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,359 Speaker 10: The individuals running the companies by and large are part 766 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:22,319 Speaker 10: of those organizations. 767 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,919 Speaker 3: Colonel Romane, it's always great to have your insight into 768 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 3: all of this. 769 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 4: Thanks for being here in person. 770 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 2: Thank you. 771 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 3: Absolutely all right, everybody, we're going to take a very 772 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 3: quick break and we'll be back on the other side. 773 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 2: Welcome back to America. 774 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: Time for one of my favorite segments of the week, 775 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 1: The justin News Health Update, brought to you by our 776 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 1: great friends at NATA Path. 777 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,320 Speaker 2: Joining us now the co founder and chief culture. 778 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 1: Officer at Native Path, our good friend, doctor Chadwalthing, Doctor, 779 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:57,359 Speaker 1: good to have you on. 780 00:37:58,280 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 11: Hey John, so good to be here. Thank you for 781 00:37:59,760 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 11: having me. 782 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 1: I love these discussions. I've heard from so many people. 783 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: I was out at a speech a couple of weeks ago. 784 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:06,800 Speaker 2: People call it. I love the health segments. 785 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: We dive into really important stuff. And one of the 786 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: topics that's been coming up a lot, maybe because of 787 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:16,280 Speaker 1: the Maha meat movement, is the connection between fake meat 788 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 1: and chronic disease. Tell us a little bit about what 789 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: we're learning between that connection and what it could mean 790 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 1: long term. 791 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,839 Speaker 12: Well, I think people are really waking up. You mentioned 792 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,839 Speaker 12: the Maha movement. I think that's created so much awareness 793 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 12: in people that when they hear things like lab meat 794 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 12: or something that's processed or ultrafine, they're. 795 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 11: Starting to put their hands up. They're like, hold on, 796 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 11: you know. 797 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 12: We're starting to see different states banning lab meat and 798 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 12: different companies funded by Bill Gates going bankrupt because people 799 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 12: are refusing this stuff, and that to me shows. 800 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 11: The power of the movement, the Maha movement. 801 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 12: It shows the power of the level of awareness that 802 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 12: people are now connecting with their health and their food, 803 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 12: and the power of when people come together and make 804 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 12: a decision and really take action. That's one of the 805 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,879 Speaker 12: most important things to make a difference, you know. We 806 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 12: know now if you look at the past one hundred years, 807 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 12: there's a trend. The further away we get from real 808 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 12: whole natural food, as close to nature as possible, that's 809 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 12: rich in nutrients and vitamins, The further away we get 810 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,959 Speaker 12: from that, the more chronic disease we experience, the further 811 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:25,800 Speaker 12: we go down, metabolic disease, insulin resistance, cancers, diabetes, heart disease. 812 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 12: That trend is there, and it's been happening despite all 813 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 12: our advances in science and in technology. So it might 814 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 12: look from a technological standpoint, this is amazing. We have 815 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 12: lab grown meat and we don't have to plan anything, 816 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 12: and animals will stay alive. 817 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,280 Speaker 11: But that comes at a radical cost. 818 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 12: So to see people waking up, I think it presents 819 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 12: a bright future. In my opinion, I'm very excited about that. 820 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:49,399 Speaker 12: I'm very optimistic about it. 821 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 4: Doctor Waldering. 822 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 3: When you look at real meat versus lab grown fake meat, 823 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 3: I mean, real meat has an abundance of protein, of iron, 824 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 3: of antioxidants, so many any nutrients that we need. Lab 825 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 3: grown meat, as I understand it, is one of the 826 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 3: most processed items out there that seems extremely bad for 827 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 3: your system, and it doesn't really does it provide any 828 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 3: of those other benefits that. 829 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:14,280 Speaker 4: Real meat does. 830 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:16,359 Speaker 11: Not as much. 831 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 12: Right, it's less nutrient dense, so real meat coming from 832 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 12: healthy cows. Right, we want to think about the whole 833 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,879 Speaker 12: supply chain of food, where not just what we eat. 834 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 12: Where what we eat eats. Right, So you can take 835 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,400 Speaker 12: an animal that's out there eating grass, drinking sunshine, like 836 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,080 Speaker 12: what we're seeing here, they're actually churning the soil with 837 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 12: their hooves. 838 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 11: They have manure on the ground that fertilizes everything. 839 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:40,320 Speaker 12: What you're seeing is a natural, harmonious state of nature. 840 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,320 Speaker 12: That nature loves to be in harmony with itself. 841 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 2: Right. 842 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 12: When we take things and refine things and get synthetic, 843 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 12: all the vitamins are na minials get stripped away from that. 844 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 12: But there's, like you said, there's other toxins that get 845 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 12: added in to in order to keep this stuff shelf stable, 846 00:40:55,960 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 12: in order to disobey the laws of nature, so to speak. Right, So, 847 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,239 Speaker 12: it has a downstream effect on our health where we're 848 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 12: not getting the important amino acids that we need for 849 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 12: our health. We're not our metabolism isn't burning calories at 850 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,799 Speaker 12: the state it would with real whole protein, real real 851 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 12: strong protein. We actually burn calories when we eat it. 852 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 12: When we eat a good quality steak, our bodies like, wow, 853 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 12: we're going to have to work really hard for this. 854 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 12: We're gonna have to burn some calories and we become 855 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 12: healthier for it. 856 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 11: Right. 857 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 12: Protein is one of the most It is the essential macronutrient. 858 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 12: We can go without carbohydrates, we can go pretty long 859 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,800 Speaker 12: time without fat, We absolutely cannot go without good quality protein. 860 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 2: Right. 861 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 12: So, going further down this lab generated fake meat stuff. 862 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 11: It's only going to lead to more diseases. 863 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,759 Speaker 12: It's going to get us more disconnected from nature and 864 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 12: our true health, and it's going to create problems. So again, 865 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 12: to see us reversing course on that is exactly what 866 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:47,359 Speaker 12: we want to be doing. 867 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 1: Talk a little bit about protein and then that transition 868 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 1: to collagen. Collagen is the super protein that powers our body. 869 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 1: When you get my age, I guess my collagen's being 870 00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: dial down, isn't it. 871 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 12: That's right, It's right. I mean again, protein is the 872 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,759 Speaker 12: most foundational thing. I always encourage people and eat a 873 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 12: whole real food diet, you know, seek out the best sources, 874 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,720 Speaker 12: but also recognize that collagen is the most abundant protein 875 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,839 Speaker 12: in the body. So when we're looking at each other, 876 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 12: we're looking at our skin, our hair, our nails. All 877 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 12: of this is made up of collagen inside our bodies. 878 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 12: We have arteries in veins, we have gut lining, we 879 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,799 Speaker 12: have a whole nervous system. Right, all of that is 880 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 12: also made up of collagen. 881 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:27,600 Speaker 2: Right. 882 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 12: One of the issues though, is that we're super deficient 883 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 12: in collagen in the modern world. Our ancestors got plenty 884 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 12: of collagen because they would eat nose to tail, you know, 885 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 12: they take the bones of an animal, they would put 886 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 12: it in soups, they would boil it down, and they 887 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,360 Speaker 12: would consume that on a consistent basis. Because we're so 888 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 12: deficient in collagen in our modern world and have been 889 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 12: eating so many refined foods, many of us as individuals 890 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,680 Speaker 12: are also extremely deficient in collagen. We produce collagen on 891 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 12: our own, but that production begins to decline. 892 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:57,760 Speaker 11: Around the age of twenty. 893 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,240 Speaker 12: By the age we're fifty, we're producing as much collagen 894 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 12: internally as we did in our twenty So the older 895 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,800 Speaker 12: we get, the more important it is to consume collagen 896 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:07,760 Speaker 12: on a consistent basis. 897 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,360 Speaker 11: That's why I'm such such a big fan of it. 898 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,720 Speaker 12: You know, our company, Native Path, we value the highest quality, 899 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 12: purest ingredients is possible, so we source the best possible 900 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 12: collagen you can find from grass fed coals.

It's as pure, as close to 903 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 12: nature as possible.

This 970 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,600 Speaker 3: is someone who traumatically dealt with another situation on the 971 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 3: job six months ago, got dragged by a car dozens 972 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,160 Speaker 3: of stitches, and this is someone who is now reeling 973 00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,320 Speaker 3: from this. And you look at the headlines for mainstream 974 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 3: media and the way that they are characterizing this, and 975 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,760 Speaker 3: my heart just absolutely breaks for him and his wife 976 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,799 Speaker 3: and his family. He is reportedly a committed Christian and 977 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 3: I imagine that he is, yeah, and Iraq war veterans. 978 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,359 Speaker 3: So this is someone who has served his country in 979 00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:53,680 Speaker 3: so many ways. 980 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,359 Speaker 4: And now he is getting. 981 00:46:55,160 --> 00:47:01,080 Speaker 3: Absolutely dragged by the media, you know, symbolically after he 982 00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:02,160 Speaker 3: got dragged by a car. 983 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,120 Speaker 4: Now twice ace agent. 984 00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,479 Speaker 1: Kills US citizen. I'll never forget that headline. Talk about 985 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:11,040 Speaker 1: a disingenuous headline. Did advance? I thought something it up 986 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 1: great yesterday. 987 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:13,000 Speaker 2: Listen. 988 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,120 Speaker 1: There are three things you always learn. And I remember 989 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,200 Speaker 1: when John Legend took a shot at me saying, oh, 990 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 1: how could you say, well, hold off on this shooting 991 00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,120 Speaker 1: that occurred in a place and answers, well, the guy 992 00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:24,040 Speaker 1: had a knighte. It turned out three or four days 993 00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:25,719 Speaker 1: there the guy had a knife underneath his see that 994 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,759 Speaker 1: we didn't know about. You have to let these things 995 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,160 Speaker 1: play out. And I think at the end of the day, 996 00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 1: now that we have enough of the evidence, we can 997 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:32,880 Speaker 1: see the honesty. 998 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:34,760 Speaker 2: This guy followed his training. 999 00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,160 Speaker 1: The circumstances changed when the car changed his angle, and 1000 00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 1: then he has no time to get out of the way, 1001 00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,399 Speaker 1: and so he fires his gun. We had guests that said, 1002 00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:46,000 Speaker 1: we think this will be a good shoot. Of course, yeah, 1003 00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 1: I'll go back to this famous nineteen eighty nine case 1004 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:52,200 Speaker 1: that lays it out. That won't stop those because what 1005 00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,480 Speaker 1: you see in the traditional media is they're always rooting 1006 00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 1: for a scandal and failure in this administration and in 1007 00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 1: this era, that's not what reporters are supposed to do. 1008 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,960 Speaker 1: But we're supposed to be neutral, not having it personal 1009 00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,200 Speaker 1: or psychological investment in the outcome. But you see all 1010 00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,040 Speaker 1: the frothing that went on on the networks. They thought, oh, 1011 00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,720 Speaker 1: we got our moment. Donald Trump's finally going to fail 1012 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:14,839 Speaker 1: at the icing. And then you know, the evidence comes 1013 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,040 Speaker 1: out and it is what it is. And I learned 1014 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:18,839 Speaker 1: a long time ago the men and women of blue, 1015 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,520 Speaker 1: and the men and women of green, those who serve 1016 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:25,040 Speaker 1: in the military, of those who serve in the law enforcement, 1017 00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,440 Speaker 1: first responder communities, they deserve the benefit of the doubt 1018 00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:29,319 Speaker 1: because of what we ask them to do every day. 1019 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,120 Speaker 1: And that benefit doubt just simply means way to all 1020 00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,760 Speaker 1: the facts are out, and a lot of our colleagues 1021 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 1: in the legacy meetia couldn't do that. They want to 1022 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,160 Speaker 1: stop on this. He's probably going through a lot, but 1023 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 1: I think the facts will. 1024 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:41,880 Speaker 2: Meet in his favor too. 1025 00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,200 Speaker 1: All right, let's situations at his back, which is very differently. 1026 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:48,400 Speaker 3: Unlike under Barack Obama. All right, so let's finish with 1027 00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,919 Speaker 3: a positive note. Someone who is a friend of the show, 1028 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 3: a frequent guest of the show, Congressman Timberchett. He will 1029 00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,799 Speaker 3: now be Chairman timber chet As. He has now been 1030 00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 3: chosen to be the chairman of the subcommittee that's under 1031 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,400 Speaker 3: the Hell Sober Site Committee. 1032 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,440 Speaker 1: That's pretty awesome. He is a blast, as you know. 1033 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,400 Speaker 1: He makes us laugh, he makes us think. What I 1034 00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,200 Speaker 1: like about him is he he gets right to the 1035 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,200 Speaker 1: heart of the matter. And I thought Margie Taylor Green 1036 00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:13,880 Speaker 1: did one or two things a sizzle and then just 1037 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,840 Speaker 1: kind of dropped off. This guy is going to be honest. 1038 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,319 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, It's like ketchup on a hot talk He 1039 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,120 Speaker 1: is not letting it go. And I think at the 1040 00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,600 Speaker 1: end of the day we're going to start to understand 1041 00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 1: how but Treasity Secretary Vesset he said, six hundred thousand, 1042 00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,160 Speaker 1: six hundred billion dollars in fraud is what he thinks 1043 00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:31,800 Speaker 1: the annual fraud total is. 1044 00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:33,880 Speaker 4: That is staggered, absolutely incredible. 1045 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,000 Speaker 3: All right, everybody, thanks so much for being with us 1046 00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:37,800 Speaker 3: this week. Hope you all have a splendid week, and 1047 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,399 Speaker 3: we'll be back here on Monday at six pm Eastern Sea. 1048 00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:40,600 Speaker 4: Then
