You know that's coming this hour. 6 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: About a half hour from now. We have Brandon Wikert on. 7 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: You may or may not know who Brandon is, but 8 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: what you should know is that apparently some Russian chechen operative, 9 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: hit man, assassin spy was trying to hunt down a 10 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: Green Beret here in America. And there's a lot more 11 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: to this story than you have heard in eye popping stuff. 12 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: So that's about a half hour from now. So we 13 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: have all that, but I'll try to get to as 14 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: much of the Fauci stuff as I possibly can. I 15 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: know you're waiting on his testimony and stuff like that 16 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: from today. But it is Monday, after all. That is Monday, 17 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: and you know what time it is. It's time for 18 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: Medal of Honor Monday. Every single Monday, we do the 19 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: exact same thing. We take a Medal of Honor citation 20 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: and we read it. These men deserve to be remembered. 21 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: Their deeds deserve to be remembered. And if we don't 22 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: talk about them, if we don't read them, then they're forgotten. 23 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: It's like that, It's like they never happen historically, they 24 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: just disappear. And these are good things to discuss with 25 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: your kids, with your class, the team you coach. These 26 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: are good things. You can do this at work. You 27 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: a manager, a boss, you can do this in the 28 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: break room. We've got guys who have done that. I 29 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: this is not me. I haven't done anything. I didn't 30 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: earn any of these. Anyone can do this. All these 31 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: citations are free online. Before I get to the Medal 32 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: of Honor citation, though, I want to do it a 33 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: little different today because we got an email today that 34 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: was frigging powerful and really really cool and I thought 35 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: it would be worth reading. I'll read this, then I'll 36 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: get to the middle of honor citation. This guy says, 37 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: Dear Jesse, my father was a Wake Island survivor. Wake 38 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: Island was World War II in the Pacific. By the way, 39 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: this is a little long, but I'm going to read it. 40 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: He went to Wake Island as a construction worker, but 41 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: as soon as the Japanese launched their attack on Pearl Harbor. 42 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: That same afternoon, they launched their attack on Wake Island. 43 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: He and around two hundred other civilians gathered and volunteered 44 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: to take the oath by the commander of the island 45 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: to become marines and fight alongside them. The records were lost, 46 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: he was credited for volunteering until many years later. He 47 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: and eight others manned a machine gun nest, which by 48 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: the end of the fighting sixteen days later, there was 49 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: just him and one other one alive. He'd been wounded 50 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: three different times by grenade, shrapnel, and a bullet to 51 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: the leg during the fighting. After the island was surrendered, 52 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: the four year long nightmare began. He was the last 53 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: wounded man off the island to board the Japanese transport ship. 54 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: As he watched in fear, he became aware that anyone 55 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: who could not board by their own was bayoneted and 56 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: thrown into the ocean. He went in as a healthy 57 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: young man foot six foot two, two hundred and twenty 58 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: pounds of farm boy muscle, and he returned home five eleven, 59 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty seven pounds. For two years, no 60 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: one knew what had happened to the men on the island. 61 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: Most thought they were all dead. It wasn't until almost 62 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: two years later that the Japanese decided to do a 63 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: little pr They put out a propaganda radio message. The 64 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: first voice that was heard was my dad's the shock. 65 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: It was a shock to my grandparents, so on and 66 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: so forth. During captivity, he had Barry Barry that's this terrible, 67 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: terrible tropical disease. Your legs swell up. A bunch of 68 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: guys died from it. Anyway, he had Barry berry heart malnutrition. 69 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: He had Bary Barry heart maulnutrition, been beaten many times, 70 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: which almost killed him. The Japanese love to beat guys 71 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: to death. He spent the last year in captivity in 72 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: Japan working in a steel mill, where he watched many 73 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: of his friends die from the guards, disease, starvation, and accidents. 74 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: But somehow he managed to survive not only the sadistic 75 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,239 Speaker 1: and brutality of his captures, but also the constant bombing 76 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 1: of the Allies in the later days of the war. 77 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: He never talked about the hell he went through during 78 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: those years until my younger brother was killed many years later. 79 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: Then the stories began to flow out of him. It 80 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: was only then that through testimony in some records to 81 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: the Marine Corps finally recognized him gave him two purple hearts. 82 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: I have a little diary he kept during the last 83 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: days in the prison camp. To this day, it's still 84 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: very hard to read, as the emotions and hardships are 85 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: hard to imagine. God blessed them all who sacrificed so much. 86 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for the honor you just bestow 87 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: on the greatness of those who served and sacrificed. Sincerely, 88 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: it's Steve. Pretty awesome, right, pretty awesome. Now let's do 89 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: a Medal of Honor citation, shall we? Powerful stuff? 90 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 2: Hey, honoring those who went above and beyond. It's Medal 91 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 2: of Honor Monday. 92 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call 93 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: of duty and action against the enemy. At Los Negros 94 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: Island Admiralty Group on the fourth of March nineteen forty four. 95 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: By the way, I didn't say his name. His name 96 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: is Troy McGill. Troy McGill. In the early morning hours, 97 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: Sergeant McGill, with a squad of eight men, occupied a 98 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: revetment which bore the brunt of a furious attack by 99 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: approximately two hundred drink crazed enemy troops. Although covered by 100 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: crossfire from machine guns on the right and left flank, 101 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: he could receive no support for them from the remainder 102 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: of the troops stationed at his rear. All the members 103 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: of the squad were killed or wounded, except Sergeant McGill 104 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: and another man, whom he ordered to return to the 105 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: next revetment. Courageously resolved to hold his position at all costs, 106 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: he fired his weapon until it ceased to function. Then, 107 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: with the enemy only five yards away, he charged from 108 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: his foxhole in the face of certain death and clubbed 109 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: the enemy with his rifle and hand to hand combat 110 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: until he was killed at dawn. One hundred and five 111 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 1: enemy dead were found around his position. Sergeant McGill's intrepid 112 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: stand was an inspiration to his comrades and a decisive 113 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: factor in the defeat of a fanatical enemy. And I'd 114 00:06:53,480 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: say the man has earned taps. You should know, before 115 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: we get back to all the politics of all this 116 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: politics of the day and whatnot, that they had taken 117 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,679 Speaker 1: the airfield at Los Negros Island and the Japanese wanted 118 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: it back because remember the airfields were everything, and so, 119 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: as they alluded to it in the citation, it was 120 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: just eight dudes. They were shortmanned. It was just eight dudes. 121 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: And the Japanese what they did, this was fairly routine. 122 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: People don't understand a lot of people don't understand how 123 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: much alcohol has played a role in combat throughout history. 124 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: It's pick your society. The Vikings were famous for it, 125 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: the pick your society. Men drink after combat, before combat, 126 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: during combat. The Japanese were famous for this. They just 127 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: get blasted when they were getting ready to go do 128 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: suicidal things like a Bondz eye charge or whatnot. And 129 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: they learned enough English so they could insult the American troops. 130 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: And so this guy, this happened many times in the Pacific. 131 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: This wasn't this wasn't any anything out of the ordinary. 132 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: But the two hundred troops that are massed in front 133 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: of McGill's fox holes almost called him fighting holes. But 134 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: he was in the Army fox holes. They were blitzed 135 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: out of their minds and they were yelling things like 136 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: beep Roosevelt and things that they loved to insult Roosevelt. 137 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: They love to insult Fdr. Beep you marine, they learned 138 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: cuss words, they learned these things. They just get hammered 139 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: and tell them We're coming to kill you all and 140 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: stuff like that. But either way, man gave his life 141 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: on a god forsaken spit of island over in the Pacific. 142 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 1: Let's move on. Let's go back and talk about a 143 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: couple things, because Fauci testified today. But before we get 144 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: to the Fauci thing, I just want to address this 145 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: as one final point on the Trump thing. There's something 146 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: for ABC News out today that shows over half of 147 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: Americans think the Trump trial was political, and yet half 148 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: of Americans believe that it was justified. So wrap your 149 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: mind around that. We have entered a different era in 150 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: this country, a completely different era. The average Democrat, the 151 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: liberal and Peggy in your life, they believe Donald Trump 152 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: should be locked up just for being Donald Trump. Now 153 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: I get this question a lot. How do we come 154 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: back from this? Let's talk about that, and let's talk 155 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: about Fauci. Before we talk about that, let's talk about 156 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: twenty five bucks. I want you, I want you to 157 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: do something. I want you to pick the local pizza 158 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: joint or national pizza chain in your area and go 159 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: on their website right now, and look at the specials 160 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: they have. Looking at the amount of food you have, 161 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: you can get for twenty five bucks. Now, it's not 162 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: very much. The couple largest twenty five bucks that's our 163 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: Monday deal. You know, you could spend that on a 164 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,479 Speaker 1: couple pizzas where you could spend it on the premium 165 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: My pillow, the Ultimate My pillow, the one with the 166 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 1: new Geeza fabric, any size, any loft level.

Have you ever worn my pillow sandals? 169 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: You'll never own another pair of sandals.

There just 205 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: simply isn't. That is what it is. And I got 206 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: this email, Dear Oracle, stop asking us to be legal. 207 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: We are done. Did the colonial army ask permission? And 208 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,959 Speaker 1: this guy's saying that because in the wake of the verdict, 209 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: I have once again reminded you that the Federal Bureau 210 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: of Investigations CIA NSA, basically the entire federal government atf 211 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: they have all been weaponized against you. This has been 212 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: going on for a long time. I realize everyone's just 213 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: now finding out about it now, but trust me, the 214 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: January sixth people have known about it for quite some time. 215 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: The federal government wants to arrest you. That little group message, 216 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: the little group text group you're in. There's a FED 217 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: in there, a federal informant. No, not my group there, patriots, Nope, 218 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: there's a federal informant in there. He's probably the one 219 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: trying to encourage you all to do something illegal right 220 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,719 Speaker 1: now or violent. He's the one out there saying, no, 221 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 1: we gotta go kill them all. No, that's a fed. 222 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: They're going to read those text messages allowed in front 223 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: of your wife in court before they send you to 224 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: prison for the next thirty years. You stay legal, I'll 225 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: let you know when it's time for revolution. It ain't 226 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: time for that. And if you decide you're just going 227 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: to sally forth and it's time to fight back, you 228 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: will be fighting alone. How do I know that? I 229 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: know that because twenty five percent of Republicans even bother 230 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: to show up to vote in primary elections, which are 231 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: the most important elections in the country. Seventy five percent 232 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: of the people who are quote on your side can't 233 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: get out of bed on a Tuesday to go vote 234 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: in a primary election. So if you think it's time 235 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: to go to wal you will be fighting alone. We 236 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: haven't even begun to try to fight this at the 237 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: ballot box. Yet. We don't even try. We sit home 238 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: for every election, school board, primary, no matter what's going on. 239 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: We show up once every four years to vote for president. 240 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: And then we look around and what happened. We're all 241 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: is lost. You want to take on Alan Bragg? You 242 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: want to take on the Communists? Do you want? Is 243 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: that what you want? Okay? I agree with you. That's 244 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: what I want too. We have to train Alvin Bragg in. 245 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: The Communists have spent decades working their way through our 246 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: education system, our entertainment system, our corporate system. They've spent 247 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: decades in filtrating every part of the government by doing 248 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: what credit to them. Remember, make sure you give your 249 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: enemy credit where he deserves it. They've been putting in 250 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: the work while we were sitting at home catching the game. 251 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: I don't feel like it. This Saturday. They were out 252 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: there seizing power, attacking at all times. They're now in 253 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: a position where they can arrest, convict, and possibly imprison 254 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: the future president of the United States of America. But 255 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: they didn't get that strong yesterday. They got that strong 256 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: from years in years in years of training, putting in 257 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: the work elections, knocking on doors, starting organizations, sending out 258 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: dragging friends to the polls, sending out group text messages. 259 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: I have this cause, that cause, that cause. The Communist 260 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: is moving, attacking, destroying at all times. We wake up 261 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: one day and see Trump's going to prison, and we 262 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: say it's time for war. No, it's time for you 263 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: to shut up and run for school board. Enough of 264 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: the civil war talk, enough of the revolution talk, enough 265 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: of the take up arms talk. This country's so freaking 266 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: lazy and apathetic that we can't even go to the 267 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: polls to vote. So trust me, they're not going to 268 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: be fighting any kind of a civil war. And stop, 269 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: don't you dare email me, but every election stolen of Okay, 270 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what before you send me that email. 271 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: Here's what I want you to do. You can send 272 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: me that email. You can tell me all elections are 273 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: stolen if in that email you detail your political involvement 274 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: before the twenty twenty election. Because if you're telling me 275 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: that now it's time to take up arms because they 276 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: stole it in twenty twenty and now it's all stolen, 277 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: then that tells me that you were majorly involved before 278 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, and now you're sitting it out. You were 279 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: majorly involved, right, you're not. You're not just saying that 280 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: because you're mad. And this is I believe they cheated 281 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty I'm acknowledging that, but that's become the 282 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: ultimate cop out lie for the lazy. I never get 283 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: off my butt and never vote in the primary. I 284 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: don't even know who's on my school board. I can't 285 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: name my state senator, but I got a Maga hat 286 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: and I ain't voting. It's revolution pad because every election's stolen. No, 287 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: you're just lazy. Get off your butt, go get involved 288 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: in elections. And wearing a Maga hat does not count. No, 289 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: wear your Maga hat, but that's not getting involved in elections. 290 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: That's not putting into work. Mike Tyson just knocked you out. 291 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: You don't get up and try to fight him again. 292 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: You go back and train. It's time for us to train, 293 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: all right, all right, let's find out why the Russians 294 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: are trying to kill a Green Beret in America, and 295 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: then let's talk about doctor Fauci. What should we do 296 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: to him? Also, we just had Medal of Honor Monday, 297 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: and we get emails all the time in of Jesse. 298 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: What do we do? How do we help these guys Jesse? 299 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: What do we do? Listen, the truth is that veterans 300 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: need more than a thank you, But they shouldn't. They 301 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: shouldn't require a handout, and they don't. Sometimes it's just 302 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 1: a matter of getting your VA benefits. Sometimes it's just 303 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: a matter of finding a new place. Do you know 304 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: when you switch to Pure Talk, When you switch your 305 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: cell phones service to Puretalk, just by switching, you are 306 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 1: supporting America's Warrior Partnership. They've partnered with Puretalk to help 307 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: veterans come home, stay home, stay employed, get their medical 308 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: issues taken care of. These are the things pure Talk tackles. 309 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: It's Pride Month. If you don't have Pure Talk, go 310 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: look up your cell phone company and Pride Month and 311 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: tell me what you find.

Because there's a story 322 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: floating out there that has not gotten a ton of coverage, 323 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: and I find it endlessly fascinating. And my friend Brandon Wikert, 324 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: he's an author. He wrote the book The Shadow War, 325 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: which you should pick up. It's sick. It's as cool 326 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: as it sounds. Anyway, he wrote that book and he's 327 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: been talking about this story. So instead of me fumbling 328 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: through it, I'm going to hand it off to him. Brandon, 329 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: who exactly got shot? Was this guy a Russian who 330 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: did the shooting? What happened with this case? 331 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 3: Well, thanks for having me. It's it's been a far 332 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 3: too long. And yes, it was like an episode of 333 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 3: that old series The Americans. There was a lieutenant colonel 334 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 3: in the US Special Forces coming home. This was back 335 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 3: in May third came home from Fort Liberty, which you 336 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 3: and I know is Fort Bragg and he found a 337 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 3: swarthy Chechen in his backyard at eight o'clock at night 338 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 3: with a high powered camera taking pictures of his family 339 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 3: as they were going about their nighttime routine. The colonel 340 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 3: confronted this guy. The colonel was armed, and the Chechen 341 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 3: decided to get physical. The Special Forces colonel put the 342 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 3: chechen down. There was another Chechen in a car waiting nearby. 343 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 3: The sheriffs showed up and question of the secondary chechen 344 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 3: let him go because they claimed he was lack of evidence, 345 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 3: and the media where it has been reported in the 346 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 3: left wing media, they're trying to pin it on the Kernel. 347 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 3: But as it turns out, and I've done the investigation, 348 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 3: as you know as well, as it turns out this 349 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 3: chechen was officially a subcontractor for a firm called Utilities One, 350 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 3: which is a utilities company based out of New Jersey, 351 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 3: but it's it doesn't seem to be a real company. 352 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 3: They have contracts everywhere with our infrastructure, and yet the 353 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 3: owners are Russian and Moldovan. They're all from sort of 354 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 3: that part of the world. It was started in twenty sixteen, 355 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 3: and then in further investigation discovered that the Chechen in 356 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 3: question was actually here illegally. And this has prompted many 357 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 3: people behind the scenes who I'm communicating with to basically 358 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 3: say they think there are chech and hit squads infiltrating 359 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 3: the country through our broken border and targeting US Special 360 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 3: Forces members. In particular, this Kernel had just gotten back 361 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 3: from a covert deployment in Ukraine. So the storyline's just 362 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 3: you're merging. You've got Biden's broken border and Biden's failed 363 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 3: war in Ukraine all merging together in this really interesting story. 364 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,239 Speaker 1: It is beyond interesting the number of questions I have 365 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: for you, Brandon. That it's a long list. So you're 366 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: just going to have to be patient with me, as 367 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: you always are. After all, I'm in idiot, So I 368 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: want to actually begin. Let's start overseas. Let's go through 369 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: the timeline that way. I think that will help me 370 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 1: and the audience understand this better. Okay, So we have 371 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: some Green Beret or Delta, I don't know what he was, 372 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: but we have this super stud in the army. He's 373 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: over there in Ukraine airfingers quiote, advising the Ukrainians. We 374 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: all know how all that goes. Now, I was never 375 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: in the Green Berets, and I most definitely was never 376 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: in Delta, but I do know that you don't hand 377 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: your id over to the other side to let them 378 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: know who you are and your home address. Could you 379 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 1: possibly walk me through how this guy's address would ever 380 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 1: land in the hands of some Russian operative hit man. 381 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: How could something like that even happen? Brandon? 382 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is why people people think that it 383 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 3: is probably Russian intelligence operations because basically, you know the 384 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 3: Russians are They're not dumb, and they are extremely wily. 385 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 3: They're very good at intelligence and counter intelligence, and so 386 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 3: what probably happened was throughout the course of the conflict 387 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 3: in Ukraine. I have been saying for a while now 388 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 3: that we have guys on the ground covertly. I get 389 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 3: yelled at by my friends at the Pentagon don't say 390 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 3: that publicly, but I think that's what's going on. Obviously, 391 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 3: this story kind of proves that. I'm sure the Russian 392 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 3: intelligence services have already figured out which units are being 393 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 3: deployed into NATO and then from NATO to the Ukrainian battlefield, 394 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 3: and they're sort of just reverse engineering the intelligence to 395 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 3: figure out where you know, these people are, probably can 396 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 3: locate them through social media a lot of if not directly, 397 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 3: this this member of Special Forces, it's probable his family members, 398 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 3: his children, or his wife are involved with you know, 399 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 3: social media. So it's not impossible for these very good, 400 00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 3: competent intelligence services to basically figure out stuff like this, 401 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 3: even though it is Special Forces and we really try 402 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 3: to keep them covert. So I suspect That's probably what 403 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 3: was at play here, was they were identifying possible targets 404 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 3: to seek reprisals against. Because obviously this guy was not 405 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 3: just engaged in what were they saying it was propaganda 406 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 3: or information warfare operations. He was obviously doing something far 407 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 3: more direct than kinetic against probably Chechen units. I mean, 408 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,360 Speaker 3: the Chechens are crazy, and so this might have been, 409 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 3: you know, honor thy father type of situation. Run amok. 410 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: Okay, let's first of all, I think you're being a 411 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: little paranoid when you say these guys are doing more 412 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: than advising. Next you're going to tell me they were 413 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: doing that in Vietnam in nineteen sixty. Don't be so ridiculous, Brandon. Okay, 414 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: obviously that was firmly tongue in cheek for everyone listening. 415 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: They were doing something in Ukraine. Now, explain the Chechen thing, 416 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: because a lot of people don't understand how nutball these 417 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: guys are. Who these guys are, Who are the Chechens? 418 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 2: What? 419 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: I thought we were at war with Russia? 420 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 2: What? 421 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 3: Right? Well, Chechnya is sort of like, you know, the 422 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 3: Alabama of Russia. I guess you know, they're sort of 423 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 3: they're wild and crazy and you know, they're not Christian, 424 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 3: they are Muslim. And for throughout the nineties and early 425 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 3: two thousands, there was a series of really brutal wars 426 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 3: fought between the Russian government and Islamist insurgents in Chechnya. 427 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 3: Putin was able to defeat them, and then suddenly, you know, 428 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 3: Chechnya got a government to you know, a regional government 429 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 3: that was very pro Putin. There's a guy named Ramzan 430 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 3: Katarov who is basically a Jihati who loves Putin. So 431 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 3: he's kind of the Jihatis for Putin Brigade, and his 432 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 3: units have been deployed from Chechnya to the front lines 433 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 3: of Ukraine, especially as the Wagner group was pulled back. 434 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 3: The Chechnians are considered to be elite kind of warriors, 435 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 3: and they're very brutal and so and they have this 436 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 3: sort of almost kind of like I guess the Klingons 437 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 3: from Star Trek. You know, it's like a blood feud, 438 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 3: like if you long them, they will hunt you down. 439 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 3: It's sort of a religious and clan society. So it's 440 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 3: possible that this special forces unit of ours did something 441 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 3: in the conduct of the Covit War in Ukraine. And 442 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 3: poed the Chechens to the point that they're sending their 443 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 3: hit squads through our broken border. Thank you Biden for 444 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 3: leaving that door open. Uh. And they're you know, disseminating 445 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 3: throughout the country, hunting down, you know, targets of opportunity. 446 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: Speaking with Brandon Wikert, author of the book The Shadow War, 447 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: going over this story with a Green Beret kills some 448 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: Chechen and film trader out behind his house. Brandon, I 449 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 1: should have asked you this beforehand. Is there any way 450 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: you can stay on? Who's got to take it? Quick break? 451 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: I just have a couple more questions about this. Okay, perfect, 452 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: We have Brandon Wikert, he is going to be here. 453 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: I have a couple more questions. I want to ask 454 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: him about what happened, what he thinks is happening on 455 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: a macro level, Why would Russia take such a step. Anyway, 456 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: we will be right back with a little bit more. 457 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: Brandon Wiker updating us on this story. 458 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 2: Hang on, get the Cure for Rhinos. He days with 459 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 2: the Jesse Kelly Show. 460 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: It is The Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday. Remember 461 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: if you miss any part of the show, you can 462 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: download the whole thing on iHeart Spotify iTunes wherever you 463 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: happen to get it in case you're just joining us. 464 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: This is part two of our little Q and A 465 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: with Brandon Wickert, author, one of these guys who knows 466 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: everything about everything foreign policy wise. He's been tracking this story, 467 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: the green beret who killed some Chechen in his backyard 468 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: who was photographing his family. Okay, so the green Beret 469 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: comes home from his deployment. Brandon, the Chechen we believe, 470 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: you believe probably correctly came across us, our leaky border. 471 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: If we're gonna be really really kind about that. My 472 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: question on the macro level is this, Brandon, America is hesitant. 473 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: In fact, we've not allowed our weapons to be used 474 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: in Russia against Russians. Why it's not because we like Russia? 475 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: Because that is an escalation that will prompt a response. 476 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: Why would the Russians take such a step. What if 477 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: this schen pulled it off and shot this Green Beret 478 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: and we woke up one day and found out the 479 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: Russians had sent in a hit man to kill a 480 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: Green green Beret. Wouldn't that be an escalation Russia would 481 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: want to not have? 482 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 3: Well, the you know, and in far be it for 483 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 3: me to defend the Russians, because I am by no 484 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 3: means a fan of Russia. But pretty much from the 485 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 3: American side of this war, we've kind of been poking 486 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 3: the bear the whole time. The very fact that there 487 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 3: are US special forces operated, you know, in Ukraine quote 488 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 3: unquote advising the Ukrainians is a problem in and of itself. 489 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 3: This war's been dragged out long enough, I think from 490 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 3: the Russian perspective, and they are basically looking for a 491 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 3: little bit of payback because the war probably would have 492 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 3: been over a year and a half ago had US 493 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 3: weapons and personnel not been used to kind of backstop 494 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 3: the Ukrainian military. And so while I do think you're 495 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 3: right the Russians don't want to see escalation, at the 496 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 3: same time, you know, the Russians, they're probably they don't 497 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 3: like to take things lying down, and so this is 498 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 3: kind of a great way for them to kind of 499 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 3: get the elites in Washington back for supporting their enemies 500 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 3: without possibly seeing an escalation, because I don't think had 501 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 3: this Green Beret and his family been murdered or kidnapped, 502 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 3: I don't think the administration would have let that news 503 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 3: get out. I think they would have tried to cover 504 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 3: it up because it would have indicated not only a 505 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 3: failure of their border policy, but have indicated a film 506 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 3: their Ukraine policy. In an election year. They can't have that. 507 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 3: So I think this was a message aimed from Putin 508 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 3: at the Biden administration. We know you're here, we know 509 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 3: what you're doing, and because of this, we're going to 510 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 3: start really messing around with you in your own country. 511 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 3: And I think that what you can expect to see 512 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 3: many more examples of this. And by the way, it's 513 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 3: not just the Russians. In fact, in my opinion, the 514 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 3: Russians of the least of our concerns. I talked to 515 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 3: a retired senior Customs and Border Patrol official about six 516 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 3: months ago who told me, Brandon, we've got fifty five 517 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 3: hundred Iranians running around the place you broke in through 518 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 3: the border. And then he also said, and I know 519 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 3: that you've reported on this before, there are ten thousand 520 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 3: military age Chinese males in the United States that broke 521 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 3: in here illegally. We don't know where they are, and 522 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 3: you can imagine what they're getting up. 523 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: To, Brandon. If Russia and their guys they sent in. Obviously, 524 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: look you catch one, that means there are several times 525 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: that amount. Here, we happen to have a Green Beret 526 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: who was aware enough to catch the long telescopic lens. 527 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: Without that, we don't even know this is happening. So 528 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: these guys are here, they're here, they're operating. What do 529 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,479 Speaker 1: we believe they're capable of doing? And I'm not in 530 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: any way obviously dismissive if they take out some Green Beret, 531 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: that's not good. Not okay, it's awful, it's awful, it's tragic, 532 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: But that's not poisoning a water plant, right, what do 533 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: they What do we believe these people can do if 534 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: they're motivated to do so? 535 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 3: And this is your right over target. So my next 536 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 3: my next report that I'm doing is actually delving into 537 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 3: Utilities One, which is the company that the chechen in 538 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 3: question was supposedly a subcontractor for. There are many people 539 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 3: in the Intel community that I've spoken to who really 540 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 3: want a harder look at Utilities One because they think 541 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 3: it might be basically a front company. And if you 542 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 3: go on their website you can see a map of 543 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 3: all of the projects they're working on. In fact, there's one. 544 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 3: I live in southwest Florida. There's one right down the 545 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 3: road from me. Basically, they have their hands in critical 546 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 3: communicate telecommunications infrastructure project, water management project, water management projects 547 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 3: as well as electrical grid projects throughout all fifty states. 548 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 3: And that as possible that this is a Russian intelligence 549 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 3: operation masquerading as a company. And so that means that 550 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 3: there is a Russian possible front company with its hands 551 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 3: and every major facet of our infrastructure, which is obviously 552 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 3: not good for us, because if the Russians decide to 553 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 3: really go full board against us, they could be attacking 554 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 3: us at our own home front. 555 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: Okay, well that's great news. A Russian front company is 556 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 1: involved in all fifty states and little things like telecommunication, 557 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: the electrical grid, and our water supply. So anyway, with that, Brandon, 558 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: where can people pick up The Shadow War? 559 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 3: Well, you can pick up all my books anywhere they're 560 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 3: sold online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or in your bookstore, 561 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 3: and be sure to follow act We the Brandon on Twitter, 562 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 3: Getter and truth Social same handle. 563 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 1: Brandon. I appreciate you, my brother, come back soon. Look, 564 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: I'm going to move off this subject just because we 565 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: are so overwhelmed and being gone for a week. When 566 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 1: I say overwhelmed, I mean overwhelmed in a in a 567 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: good way with stories and emails and things we want 568 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: to get caught up on. But this is something like 569 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 1: it's not something for you to do, and it's not 570 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:31,320 Speaker 1: something for you to not do, meaning don't adjust anything 571 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 1: in your life because of what you just heard there. 572 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: I know that was scary. It was. Look, I'm sitting 573 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: here and I'm thinking, oh gosh, that's scary. But there's 574 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 1: nothing you can do about it. There's nothing you can do. 575 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 1: Make some basic preparations and then live your life. However, 576 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: how long have we been talking about this, you and me? 577 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,280 Speaker 1: How many times have you heard me behind this microphone say, 578 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: there's a reason proxy wars are normally fought like proxy wars, 579 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: they're fought in secret because you don't want to escalate 580 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: things where it becomes large nation state against large nation state. 581 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 1: So if you're the Soviets and you want to hurt 582 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: Americans in Vietnam, you quietly ship some AK forty seven's 583 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: down there. If you're Americans and you want to hurt 584 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 1: the Soviets in Afghanistan, you quietly ship some stinger missiles 585 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: into Afghanistan. But today, because we are led by utter morons, 586 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: they'll send missiles to Ukraine that are going to kill 587 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 1: Russians and then they'll give a press conference bragging about it. 588 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: And how long have I told you? This is going 589 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: to prompt the response, and Russia has the ability to respond. Anyway, 590 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: We're moving off this. We have way too much to 591 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 1: get to. We still have an hour left. Buffalo up.
