Is I couldn't hear you for a second there, 30 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: way to go, team I'm a team of one evidently 31 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: to day No. But here, listen, folks, when you're a seal, 32 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: you only need to be a team of one. That's right. 33 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: And so let's go ahead and let me introduce myself 34 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: to those of you that that aren't familiar with who 35 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: I am. I fill in for Sean from time to time. 36 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: I fell in for David Webb and Andrew will Cow 37 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: and Serious X and Patriot Channel, and uh I've had 38 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: my own show called The Experts on Facebook, Live, Twitter 39 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: and YouTube. Unfortunately, YouTube decided to uh ban me from 40 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: YouTube because I criticized David Hog a while back. I 41 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: think I could do it again now, but I took 42 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: a step away from social media because like in the 43 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: case of Facebook, like happened to Diamond and Silk, I 44 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: was reaching over a million people a night, and then 45 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden it went down to about three 46 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: thousand people a night, all at the same time. And uh. 47 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: And then I also wrote a book called Sheep No 48 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: More The Art of Awareness and Attack Survival. And that 49 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: book was soaring, uh to the top of Amazon charts, 50 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, Sean Hannity wrote the forward 51 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: for me in that book, and some reason, strangely, Uh, 52 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: the book in one day went from uh in the 53 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: top one hundred uh down to the top one thousand, 54 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: and then quickly went down and down and down. But 55 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: every time I host the show, it goes back up, 56 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: but unlike other books, it goes back down. I can't 57 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: help but think that all these things are connected in 58 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: social media, uh, and with the leftists in this country. 59 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: I have been uh a Navy seal, I was a 60 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: Federal Air marshal. I did security contracting for a very 61 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: long time with an amazing company full of seals and 62 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: special forces, and was an FBI agent here in New 63 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: York City on the criminal encounter terrorism sides of the house. 64 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: And uh, now you know, I'm doing my own thing 65 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: writing um, working in media, and still working in the 66 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: security contracting business doing uh threat assessments, which my book 67 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: Sheep no More the Art of Awareness is based upon. 68 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: So that's my background that and and it's steeped in service. 69 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: I didn't do these things because I, you know, I 70 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: wanted to have a cool haircut and and a great watch. 71 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: I hardly even wear a watch anymore since I got 72 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: out of the military and out of the federal service. Uh. 73 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: The point of this is that my motivation was steeped 74 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: in service. You know, my mother, who is my hero 75 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: in life, taught me a long time ago about who 76 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: I need to be in order to be respected. She 77 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: taught me through her actions. Everybody that knows her and 78 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: my stepdad at the church where they go, Grace Church 79 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: there in in Arkansas, in Clinton, Arkansas, everybody knows those two. 80 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: My mom and my stepdad is being the hardest workers 81 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: in the world. They do more for people now in 82 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: their seventies than most people do. I don't in a year. 83 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: It's amazing what these two do. And so as I 84 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: was planning for today's show the day before Independence Day, 85 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: I started thinking, you know, what is it that is 86 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: missing that we keep seeing uh in the news that 87 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: we see that we that we don't see in the news, 88 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: that we don't see in our politicians, that we don't 89 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: see in the actions of those in Hollywood, that we 90 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: don't see even in our own actions. And I felt, 91 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: you know, today would be a good day, not necessarily 92 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: to break from the news. There are some things in 93 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 1: the news that are that are worth talking about, but 94 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: constantly they revolve back into the set of characteristics that 95 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: I looked upon that my mother taught me, that I founded, 96 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: that the founding fathers of this country had, and that 97 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: no longer exists in a lot of ways in this country. 98 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: One of those things is dignity. Does anybody even think 99 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: about dignity before they post a picture on Instagram or 100 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: on Facebook or on Twitter. Is that even something that 101 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: is in their mind when they post that selfie or 102 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: that picture or that funny thing. Because quite often, if 103 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: you were to look at the series of things that 104 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: people post, the last thing that you're gonna say to 105 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: yourself is, man, that person has got a lot of dignity, 106 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: they've got morals. That's a person that I want to 107 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: listen to. And I just look at now, I'm starting 108 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: with you. I worked my way up into this family 109 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: tree of of destruction in this country. Dialogue and debate. 110 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: Is that something that we have anymore in this country. 111 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: The Founding fathers when they created the constitution, when they 112 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: when they crafted the Declaration of Independence, it came with 113 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: great dialogue. It wasn't just somebody sending out a a tweet, uh, 114 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: somebody that was putting a post on a social media 115 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: platform giving their opinion. These things came at great cost 116 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: and dialogue and debate, and that's how they came up 117 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: with the answers of the very doctrine, the very sheets 118 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: of paper that still guide us in this country two 119 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: and forty two years after it was formed. Debate, dialogue, 120 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: that is what the country to this. That's not what 121 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: happens anymore. It's listening to me. Notice me, I have 122 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: this to say, I'm right, this is my opinion on it, 123 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: instead of what do you think I think it should be? 124 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: This way? Now, I'll give you your turn, and you 125 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: can say, and then I can tell you why I 126 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: think yours isn't right, and you can tell me why 127 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: you think mine isn't right, and then we can come 128 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: to a conclusion as to what's best for the country. 129 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: You don't see that sacrifice. How many people sacrifice for 130 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: their country in this In the United States today, only 131 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: one percent of the citizen reserves in the military. There's 132 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: only about a million police officers in a country with 133 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty million. More or less, selflessness is 134 00:07:53,800 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: what it's the motivation. It's the foundation of service. You know, 135 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: in World War Two, upwards of seventy of all the 136 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: politicians in this country we're veterans. Now it's around more 137 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: or less. It fluctuates a little bit. I find that shocking. 138 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: And also when we used to look at the movie 139 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: stars and the people in Hollywood, we would we note 140 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: that we would see that they themselves were veterans. Many 141 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: of them were veterans and served throughout the war in 142 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: one way or another, supporting the war effort. You don't 143 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,599 Speaker 1: see that anymore. You see nonprofits. You see people um 144 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 1: making money off of and and paying themselves a paycheck 145 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: to support the troops. Or I don't support the war, 146 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,599 Speaker 1: but I support the troops all the while they're not 147 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: even looking at the reality of what's going on and 148 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: why we're at war. And I'm not just talking about 149 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: Hollywood people. I'm talking about politicians, activists, talk about people 150 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: on the street, some of the people that are listening 151 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: to this show. So I gotta ask everybody, is that 152 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: as we begin this show, and as you're driving down 153 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: the road, as you're sitting on the beach somewhere, or 154 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: you're preparing to leave tomorrow for this holiday, what part 155 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: of this struggle of what's going on in this country 156 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: right now, two and forty two years after it was 157 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: crafted by the founding fathers? What is your part in 158 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: this struggle? We talked all the time daily on this 159 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: show and in media. We talk about the mainstream media 160 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: and the lies that are coming out, and there are lives. 161 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: We don't look at the family tree. We don't look 162 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: at the reality of socialism and communism. Socialists are being 163 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: voted in when they do UH, when they do um 164 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: questionnaires out on the street polls of young people, they 165 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: a vast majority of them support socialism. They don't even 166 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: understand the reality of what it is. And this is 167 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: what kills me. They are children of parents who didn't 168 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: understand it. They didn't necessarily support it like these kids 169 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: do now. But they didn't they didn't study it. They 170 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: floated through life and freedom. And so now many of 171 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: them are parents, they're in the media, they're in entertainment, 172 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: and they have failed at their jobs of raising their 173 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: children to understand what the the fourth of July.

And that's what I want to I want 301 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: to kind of talk to you guys a little bit 302 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 1: right now about the Declaration of Independence. I was reading 303 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: something earlier when I was trying to seek out exactly why, um, 304 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: the Founding Fathers, what their motivation was for leaving uh 305 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: Europe and UH striving to have this country and all 306 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: the things we always hear about, you know, people always 307 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: saying I'm constitutional, or I'm conservative, or I'm liberal, all 308 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,239 Speaker 1: these they're throwing all these different things out there, and 309 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: people say that they believe that the Founding Fathers wanted this. 310 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: Some people say they think the Founding Fathers were wrong. 311 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: They think the Constitution is a living, breathing document. Here's 312 00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: why I do not believe that the Constitution was a living, 313 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: breathing document, just like I don't believe that the Bible 314 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: is something that was just written by men inspired by God. 315 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: I believe it was the hand of God that literally 316 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 1: wrote what he wants you to to see and to study. 317 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 1: It's literal wording, and I think the Constitution is the 318 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: same way. Now. When I look at the Declaration of 319 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: Independence and I start looking at exactly how it was written, 320 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: most people don't even they can't even uh, they don't 321 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: even know any of the declaration it depends. They just 322 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 1: know one line, uh, and that is we hold these 323 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, 324 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: and that they are endowed by their creator with certain 325 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: and ailable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and 326 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 1: the pursuit of happiness. Now, many people, when they get 327 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: in front of Congress or they give a speech, they 328 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 1: will mistake the Declaration of Independence for the Constitution. The 329 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: Declaration of Dependance is just that, it's the declaration of 330 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: our independence from Great Britain and from a king and 331 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: a prince that were and their words a tyrant. And 332 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 1: here's what blows me away. Just like when you read 333 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: the Bible and you hear the same people fighting then 334 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: that are fighting now, and people say, oh, the Bible 335 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: is not true. But yet the same people, since that 336 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: book has been around for thousands and thousands of years, 337 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: there is truth in it because things are still happening 338 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: now that we're talked about then. And when you look 339 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: at the Declaration of Independence. This is what will blow 340 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: your mind. When we scroll down on the Declaration of 341 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: Independence and we start to see that the things that 342 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: they were fleeing from are the same exact things that 343 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: are causing problems in this country today. Here two hundred 344 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: and forty two years after after the country was created. 345 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: In the Decoration Independence, says that the history and I'm 346 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: quoting here the history of the present King of Great Britain, 347 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: this is back then, two or forty two years ago, 348 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: is a history of repeated injuries and usertations, all having 349 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over 350 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to 351 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 1: a candid world. So they submitted the facts of their 352 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: argument to the world. Now it would be via Twitter 353 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: or Facebook or something like that, or or mainstream media, 354 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: but listen to some of the things. I'm not gonna 355 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: read them all. Listen to some of the things that 356 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: they are saying actually occurred. He refuses. He has refused 357 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for 358 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 1: the public good. So, in other words, this king would 359 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: not allow laws to be created that actually did good 360 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: for the people, that were actually for the people, that 361 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: were wholesome and necessary for the public good. Now, if 362 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: that doesn't hit you up the side of the head 363 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,239 Speaker 1: thinking about all that's going on in politics right now, 364 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: you need to take a break. Start looking at the 365 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: Democrat and Republican parties and look at how Washington works. 366 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: I mean, people in Washington will tell you it doesn't 367 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: work because they don't have the most wholesome and necessary 368 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: concept of what is good for the public. It's all 369 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: about the party, and in many cases it's all about 370 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: the ideology. Many socialists, many communists, covert communist, many people 371 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,959 Speaker 1: who just do not have any care in the world 372 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 1: for what is best for the country outside of what 373 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: is best for their ideology or their narrative, or their 374 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: concept of what the government should be, not what it 375 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: was intended to be. Um he is for forbidden his 376 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance. I 377 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: want you to think about that. When they're talking here 378 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: in the Declaration in defense, are talking about a king. 379 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: When I'm talking about in modern day, I'm talking about 380 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: politicians and the two parties, the two party system that 381 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: we have. We have no real separation of powers in 382 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: this country. It doesn't matter if it's Congress or the Senate, 383 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: or the judicial branch, the Supreme Court and all the 384 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: federal courts in this system, it doesn't matter. They are 385 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: all the exact same two parties. And if you think 386 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: one politician is gonna venture too far away from what 387 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: their party's narrative is, it's not gonna happen. The mainstream 388 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: media is involved in this same game. So we're big 389 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: money brokers. So its Hollywood power people, and so what 390 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: do they do. They they forbid their own to pass 391 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: laws of the media and pressing importance. Look at immigration, 392 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,959 Speaker 1: Look at the president trying to change immigration and saying 393 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: exactly why he wants to change it. And yet the rhetoric, 394 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: the mainstream media, all these different people have twisted it 395 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: in such a way that you can't even determine what 396 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: the truth is unless which most people won't do you 397 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 1: listen and read exactly what the president is saying. And 398 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: that's because where we had a king two hut two 399 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: years ago, now we have two political parties that are 400 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: on the verge of tyrannical behavior, and in many cases 401 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: not on the verge, have actually shown their behavior to 402 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: be tyrannical. He's uh, the king two u or forty 403 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: two years ago called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, 404 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: and distant from the the the depository of their public records, 405 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 1: for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with 406 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: his measures. Now, if that doesn't remind you of what's 407 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: happening in government now, where you have something that is right, 408 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: you have something that needs to be done. A wall 409 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: needs to be built, immigration needs to be looked at, 410 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,719 Speaker 1: the way we fight wars needs to be reconsidered. And 411 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: yet they will go and they'll fill a buster. They'll 412 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: go and they'll go to the media, and they will 413 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: put out narratives that are not true. They're doing that 414 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 1: for the exact same reason that this tyrannical king did 415 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: two and forty two years ago, to fatigue us into 416 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: not caring and saying there's nothing we can do anyway, 417 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: and then they have exactly what they want. He has it. 418 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 1: He had endeavors back to ur Or forty two years 419 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: ago to prevent the population of these states for the 420 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: purpose of obstructing the laws of naturalization of foreigners, refusing 421 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: to pass others to encourage their migration to this country. 422 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: Now you may think, well, that's obviously President Trump, But 423 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna challenge you there. The President is trying to 424 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: that up an immigration policy that does encourage the right 425 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: people to come here. I'm not I'm not just talking 426 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: about people have PhD s. I'm talking about people who 427 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 1: want to come here and be free. But there has 428 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 1: to be a system to do that. And where you 429 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: think that the Democrat Party wants that, that left us 430 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: want that. They don't want that. They want to flood 431 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: the country of as many people as possible for their 432 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: own ideological reasons, not to get the right people here. 433 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 1: This King two d forty two years ago, as written 434 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: in the Declaration of Independence, obstructed the administration of justice 435 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judicial judiciary powers. 436 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,239 Speaker 1: I mean, look at the Ninth Circuit Court look at 437 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: the way leftists work in this country. I mean it 438 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: goes on and on. When we look at what was 439 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: written in the Declaration of Independence, and they give the 440 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: facts and state the facts as to why they were 441 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: trying to break away or were breaking away from those 442 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: tyrannical behaviors by this king in Great Britain. You see 443 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: the exact same same thing today. I can go through 444 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: all of these headlines and I can show you proof better. 445 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: Yet you go through the headlines and with this in mind, 446 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 1: you will see exactly this. A declaration of independence is 447 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: not long. Go back and read this and you will 448 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: see that the exact same game is being played on 449 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: you today. So don't just go and look at it 450 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 1: and pick out the one thing that you want. We 451 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: hold these truths to be self evident, that all men 452 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator 453 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: with certain and unenaable rights, that among these are life, liberty, 454 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: and the pursuit of happiness. Everybody loves that. But they 455 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 1: failed to scroll down further and look at the reasons 456 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 1: why our founding fathers declared their independence and fought to 457 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:03,239 Speaker 1: get away. And so we need to go back, as 458 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 1: I always say, back to the future. We need to 459 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: go back to that mindset and understanding not just what 460 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: they created for us here, but what they were fleeing 461 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: and why the founding fathers felt that it was important 462 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: to do it right using the dialogue and the debate 463 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: and the sacrifice and the service and the selflessness. I 464 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: think we have that cued up.

It's on Mondays at nine 504 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: on the Pursuit Channel. He's gonna be coming on to 505 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:59,719 Speaker 1: talk about being in the the the lineage of the 506 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: funding fighters, and that's something that we don't normally discuss. 507 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you have to realize, if you're a veteran 508 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: out there right now, you are in the direct lineage 509 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: of those men. And I would have to say women 510 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: probably in those days and age, women that gave their lives, 511 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: maybe not on the front line, but definitely in the 512 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: fight and keeping their homes safe. You are in the 513 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: direct lineage of those men. And that's incredible when you 514 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: think about it two forty two years ago, when they 515 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: were fighting for their independence. When you put on the uniform, 516 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: when you put on your boots, when you sign up 517 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: and raise your right hand and swear to support and 518 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign domestic, you are 519 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: doing that in direct lineage of those who founded this country. 520 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: I just I don't think that the military and the 521 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: recruiters push that enough so that you can actually see 522 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: that you're a part of history. It's pretty fascinating when 523 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: you when you think about it. So we come back, 524 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about that. I'm also eventually gonna get 525 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: to my book a little bit to talk about Sheep 526 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: no More, the art of awareness and attack survival. And 527 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: then later unwell, have Gregg Jared come in, and we're 528 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: gonna talk about kind of reversing the role what today. 529 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: It's all about how things have evolved today. So eight 530 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: hundred nine four one seven three to six hundred nine 531 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: four one seven three to six.

I've studied what motivated the Founding Fathers 550 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: to come here and to do these things. But when 551 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 1: I was talking to Lauren about who I should set 552 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: up for this segment, she mentioned Kirby Wilber.

So Kirby, 560 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: welcome and uh and thanks for being here and and 561 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: teaching these young people about the reality of what this 562 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 1: country is all about. I just don't think that we 563 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: get that enough. Well, thanks Jonathan, No, we don't. And 564 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,280 Speaker 1: I've been honored to teach these kids for some twenty 565 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: years and continue to do so. Having radio job, you 566 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: can kind of manipulate your daytime schedule, so I've I've 567 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: got the honor of teaching these kids and their parents 568 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 1: trust me. And it's very important for us to understand 569 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,839 Speaker 1: where we came from and why we came from there, 570 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,399 Speaker 1: to understand where we are now and where we're going, 571 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: Where are we're okay, where did we come from? That's 572 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: let's start with that we came from a group of 573 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: very dedicated men who had character and courage and conviction, 574 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 1: who believed it was possible for people to rule themselves, 575 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: that it was no longer necessary or right that a 576 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: king or a small council or small number of people 577 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 1: would rule the many. That he Coman's were endowed by 578 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 1: their creator with certain inalienable rights, and that they have 579 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: the capacity for self government, and that was the moral 580 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 1: way to go, and that's what the American War of 581 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: Independence was about self government. Now I read earlier. I 582 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 1: don't know if you're listening. I read earlier some of 583 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: the Declaration Independence, and most people don't get past the 584 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: phrase about the inabable rights that all men are created equal. 585 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: They failed to go further past that to see what 586 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: we were fleeing from because they founding fathers felt it 587 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: important to display to the world exactly what was going on. 588 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: And Uh, when we read those things, it's remarkable how 589 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: much of that is going on today, but instead of 590 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: a king, it's being caused by two political parties that 591 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: own every seat of power in governmance in the United States. 592 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: What we had back then was we had a very 593 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,760 Speaker 1: prosperous society. Americans were the most prosperous society in the world. 594 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: Bertie sh Reviley left us a loan for a very 595 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: long time. We weren't even heavily taxed, Jonathan, we were 596 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: the lightest taxed. Uh. Similar society we're in the world 597 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,240 Speaker 1: in the mid eighteenth century, but the British were imposing 598 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: taxes without our consent. And it's important that we remember 599 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: that the slogan was no taxation without representation. It wasn't 600 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,959 Speaker 1: no taxation, it was that we were not represented among 601 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,359 Speaker 1: those who are making the rules for us. And that's 602 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: what drove the Founding Fathers to establish a new nation 603 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 1: dedicated to the idea that we could rule ourselves based 604 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,439 Speaker 1: on a belief in God, a belief in our rights 605 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: coming from God, a belief in our ability to govern ourselves, 606 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: and the idea of the government. The purpose of government 607 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 1: was to protect our rights and no other reason. That's 608 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,320 Speaker 1: why governments are instituted among men, and that we have 609 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 1: the right to change that government should have become destructive 610 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 1: of those ends, and we were changing our government because 611 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: the government we had had become destructive of the ends 612 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,319 Speaker 1: of liberty. You know, it's interesting when as we I 613 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 1: was talking earlier, I was mentioning about a friend of 614 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: mine whose brother dad Brandon Church Memorial Scholarship Fund. People 615 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: can go and donate to that, but I was um 616 00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: I was talking about the h the American citizenry, that taxpayers, 617 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 1: and how there's only a few things in this country 618 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 1: where I think that the citizenry actually does act as 619 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: in the in according to the way that the Founding 620 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,760 Speaker 1: Fathers intended us to do. One is when we pay taxes, 621 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: and that's what really gives us our defense. That's what 622 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 1: allows us to help the rest of the world and 623 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: UH and fight against tyranny. And then also things like 624 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 1: when they go I know the sounds trivial, and I'm 625 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 1: sure that the Founding Fathers weren't thinking of this, but 626 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,399 Speaker 1: when you go to a sporting event and they play 627 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: the national anthem and everyone stands together, that is the 628 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: type of camaraderie and citizenship that they intended. But what 629 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 1: is your your thought process as to how we got 630 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 1: away from that? What was it because we're when you're 631 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 1: in freedom, in your bathe and freedom, that you become 632 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,840 Speaker 1: lazy in that freedom? Or is it because of other 633 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 1: ideologies or other UH forms of government that have have 634 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 1: secreted their ways into this country. Well, I think to 635 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,359 Speaker 1: be free as a strug and the Founding Fathers knew 636 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: that it's not easy to be free in this world, Jonathan, 637 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 1: And most of the history of the world, we've been 638 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: slaves or serves. People have not been free. We've only 639 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 1: seen this liberty in the past two d and fifty years. 640 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 1: And I always tell my students. If you look at 641 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 1: the recorded history of the world is roughly five thousand years. 642 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: The ability to the twelve inch ruler those last two 643 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 1: and fifty years or half an inch. So for eleven 644 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: and a half inches of the twelve inches of time, 645 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: we have been servants and slaves and subjects. We have 646 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 1: not been free citizens. And the burden of liberty is 647 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 1: really hard to carry, and people get so accustomed to it, 648 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: I think, to get tired of it. They think this 649 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 1: is a natural state. So many people think that, oh, 650 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 1: freedom is liberty is how everyone lives. No, it's not, 651 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,879 Speaker 1: and it's how everyone has lived. It's a burden. And 652 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: the forefathers saw this. Founding father saw this. One Franklin 653 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: there was a woman asking me out for the Constitutional 654 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: Convention in seventy was leaving the hall and a woman said, 655 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 1: Dr Franklin, what have you given us? And he replied, 656 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: A republic if you can keep it. Because the founders 657 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: looked at this is a great experiment. Every other attempt 658 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 1: at this had failed, and they had no idea whether 659 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 1: or not we had the stamina and the conviction to 660 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: carry this through and have it survive. And you have 661 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: our our institutions academy attacking the very idea of liberty, 662 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 1: the very idea of America, and we get trashed in 663 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 1: the media. People don't learn the constitution of the Declaration anymore, 664 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 1: they don't learn about the Founding Fathers, or if they do, 665 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 1: it's all about racism and sexism and classism. And as 666 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 1: you tear down those foundations of this country, a lot 667 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,879 Speaker 1: of people on the left are like termites. They'll eat 668 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: away the foundation and pretty soon you think the foundation 669 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 1: looks very strong because it looks okay from the outside, 670 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: but the inside has rotted because they've been rotted it out. 671 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,280 Speaker 1: Most Americans, I think, are very patriotic. Most Americans appreciate 672 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 1: what we have. But over time that commitment wears down 673 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 1: and the burden gets heavy and people want relief, and 674 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,280 Speaker 1: so they turned to government or turned to other forces, 675 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: and it slowly erodes. Now, what do you think if 676 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,239 Speaker 1: the Founding fathers were here, what do you think they 677 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: would say, um, that we should do to get back 678 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,399 Speaker 1: to that, Because I personally think that they would look 679 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 1: at the two party political system that we have now 680 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 1: as uh detrimental to the to the republic. I think 681 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 1: that they would look at it as veering away from 682 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,279 Speaker 1: the what the Constitution was meant to be. And I 683 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 1: think that they would be wise to look at it 684 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 1: and say that these tyrannical powers have morphed into parties 685 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: rather than one supreme leader. Um. I think that's what 686 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,799 Speaker 1: they would see. How would they what do you think 687 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 1: their advice would beat us? I think they would tell 688 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 1: Americans to get involved. Get involved on two levels. One, 689 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,360 Speaker 1: get involved in politics and make sure that you elect 690 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 1: people regardless of party, of character and conviction, people who 691 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 1: commit themselves to the founding principles of America, who understand 692 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 1: why government should be limited, who understand why the people 693 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 1: are the ones that should be listening to the idea 694 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: of consents, totive government, the idea of what government should 695 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 1: be small. I also think they would tell us to 696 00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 1: get involved in our communities because in the old days, 697 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 1: you know, there were no welfare programs, there were no 698 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 1: systems of public assistance. It was you and I helping 699 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 1: each other. A neighbor's barn burned down, we raised that 700 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 1: somebody was impoverished, We helped somebody lost their parents, we 701 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,919 Speaker 1: took them in. And Americans are involved at the community level. 702 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,959 Speaker 1: On on a big level. But however, we need more 703 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 1: because what's happened. We've gotten entired of carrying for our 704 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 1: neighbor so we let the government do it. We have 705 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,839 Speaker 1: a great homeless problem here in Seattle, but instead of 706 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 1: taking them into our homes and and forcing them and 707 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 1: compelling them to change their ways and get off drugs, 708 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 1: we create a bureaucracy which then exists solely for the 709 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,759 Speaker 1: purpose of the bureaucracy, what we call the homeless industrial complex. 710 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,760 Speaker 1: We need more involvement in America, on both the political 711 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,799 Speaker 1: level and the social level, by good citizens who want 712 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: to carry out the vision of the founders. And if 713 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,759 Speaker 1: we get involved, we can take this country back. We 714 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,919 Speaker 1: don't get involved, it will fall apart. Yeah, well, that's 715 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 1: the problem is. I think it's falling so fast that 716 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: it's um it's difficult to to stay ahead of it. 717 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 1: Because most people, as we've aided, don't read the Declaration Independence, 718 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 1: they don't read the Constitution. And young people I've seen 719 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 1: a pole there that it was over fifty percent of 720 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 1: young people polled are in favor of socialism, So they 721 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 1: don't even understand the reality of the government we have. 722 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 1: Yet they're in favor of governments that are historically proven 723 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 1: to be tyrannical. Every parent's responsibility should be to teach 724 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 1: their children what it means to be an American and 725 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 1: guide them along the way. Don't let the schools do 726 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,759 Speaker 1: what you do it. This week, we should take time 727 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 1: with our kids to read the Declaration of Independence. And 728 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 1: Calvin Coolidge, who I think was a great president, gave 729 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,239 Speaker 1: a speech in ninety six and Philadelphia the one and 730 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and that speech 731 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 1: which you can find online just google Calvin Coolidge speech 732 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: Declaration Independence. He explains the Declaration Independence in America better 733 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 1: than anyone ever has, Reagan all the others cooliesh has 734 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 1: it down. And if we just read those two documents 735 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 1: this week and the parent us and explain them to 736 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 1: the kids, we can start taking this country back. But 737 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 1: liberty is something we have to pass down generation generation, Jonathan, 738 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,400 Speaker 1: and we have to hope enough people get it, and 739 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 1: the parents play a very important role on that. Yeah, 740 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,320 Speaker 1: that's definitely that I think. Definitely, if you see the 741 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,760 Speaker 1: reality of majority of problems in this country, they stem 742 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,400 Speaker 1: from a lack of parenting. People aren't aware enough or 743 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,320 Speaker 1: people become nefarious in nature because of it, and it 744 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,760 Speaker 1: just spirals out of control where the bad people always 745 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 1: will try to climb to the top in a position 746 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,760 Speaker 1: of power, and the rest of the people that aren't 747 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,359 Speaker 1: educated enough to realize what's going on, they don't even 748 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 1: realize the power that we have as a people. So right, 749 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 1: too many people trust the schools and don't interfere and 750 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 1: ask what are you what are you learning in school? 751 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 1: What did you learn today? They don't interact with their kids. 752 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,920 Speaker 1: They ascend the schools do a good job. The advantage 753 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,880 Speaker 1: I had in teaching homeschoolers is the parents care. The 754 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 1: parents care enough to forestall the second career in many 755 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 1: cases to teach their children, and I was directly accountable 756 00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 1: to the parents and that created a great relationship with 757 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: the kids. All too often we don't get concerned with 758 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,319 Speaker 1: what the kids are learning and the stuff they learned. 759 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,840 Speaker 1: The public schools in many cases just isn't right. Accountability. 760 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 1: That's the thing. We put people in charge. We don't 761 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: hold them accountable. We we we have kids and we 762 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 1: don't make them accountable as well.

We're bringing disco back on 804 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:28,040 Speaker 1: the John handy radio show. Yeah, that's gonna go real 805 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,560 Speaker 1: nicely into what I'm gonna talk about next, the Constitution. 806 00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:37,279 Speaker 1: So listen, folks. Uh, my life, my adult life has 807 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:41,279 Speaker 1: been it's revolved around service to this country. I you know, 808 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,360 Speaker 1: I wasn't the greatest Navy seal, I wasn't the greatest 809 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,840 Speaker 1: investigator in the FBI. UM, But I'm not really concerned 810 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,239 Speaker 1: with whether or not I was the greatest. My motivation 811 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 1: in a foundation of why I did the things I've 812 00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,879 Speaker 1: done has been because of service and selflessness. I don't 813 00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,480 Speaker 1: want to throw it in people's faces. I just I 814 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,640 Speaker 1: want people to understand that you can actually go out 815 00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:05,279 Speaker 1: and serve and sacrifice. And for those young people who 816 00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,479 Speaker 1: are afraid because they may have to go to war 817 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 1: because they're not gonna get rich, I'm here to tell 818 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,800 Speaker 1: you will be rich whether or not you get to 819 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 1: go to war or not. You will be rich, and 820 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:21,400 Speaker 1: uh the the most amazing way. You'll be rich in 821 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:26,359 Speaker 1: meaning You'll be rich and understanding. You'll be rich and awareness. 822 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:31,439 Speaker 1: And it's very important that you remember that and that 823 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,960 Speaker 1: when you try to make the decisions of your life, 824 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:39,560 Speaker 1: that you will think about this service and UM, I 825 00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,319 Speaker 1: wrote a speech a while back. I'm not gonna read 826 00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,040 Speaker 1: it right now, but it's I'll try to read it 827 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 1: before the the end of the show. And it's about 828 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,319 Speaker 1: the perils of freedom. And it's interesting because when we 829 00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,360 Speaker 1: look at freedom, and we look at the fact that 830 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:55,680 Speaker 1: we grew up in this free country, we take for 831 00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 1: granted a lot of the times. The things that we 832 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:00,279 Speaker 1: wake up to on a daily basis a pull east 833 00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 1: force that is not out too to censor you, but 834 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 1: to but to protect you. A government that was put 835 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:11,040 Speaker 1: in place to ensure your freedoms and your protection, not 836 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,799 Speaker 1: to make sure that you work for them. These are 837 00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,960 Speaker 1: things that you wake up to and you don't even 838 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: realize it because you haven't studied it, because you were 839 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 1: born into it. You wake up in a country where 840 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,600 Speaker 1: you don't have to be worried about being murdered because 841 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 1: of your religious beliefs and your sexuality, your gender. You 842 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,960 Speaker 1: live in a country full of opportunity. You live in 843 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,839 Speaker 1: a country full of freedom. So we're gonna come back. 844 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk a little bit about those who serve 845 00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,799 Speaker 1: and those and the realization that you are in the 846 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:49,240 Speaker 1: direct lineage of those that fought for our freedom.

It took me three years 873 00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 1: of being turned down to to go into the seal teams. 874 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,680 Speaker 1: It wasn't like it is now where you have dive 875 00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:25,440 Speaker 1: motivators and seal recruiters. There was nothing, and my recruiters 876 00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,520 Speaker 1: didn't understand anything about putting in a package. Nobody had 877 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 1: gone uh into the seal teams from arks and trying 878 00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,480 Speaker 1: to go through AFSCAR candidate school at that point. So 879 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:36,840 Speaker 1: at this point I had to find a seal to 880 00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 1: give me my p T tests. So I went down 881 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,360 Speaker 1: to UH Below, New Orleans where they had a special 882 00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,920 Speaker 1: boat unit, and Ron was down there. And when he 883 00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,719 Speaker 1: met me at the gate, just to describe what Ron 884 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:52,520 Speaker 1: looked like, cross between uh Tom Selleck and Sasquatch. He's 885 00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,200 Speaker 1: about that big and he had that Yeah, that Tom 886 00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 1: Selleck mustache and I'm like, are you kidding me? This 887 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,239 Speaker 1: is what they really looked like. So, you know, I 888 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,279 Speaker 1: did my PD test, I get in and then I 889 00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,480 Speaker 1: end up going to Seal Team four where Ron was 890 00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,799 Speaker 1: at and he put me through land warfare, and we've 891 00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,799 Speaker 1: had and how somehow we've ended up in uh the 892 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:14,080 Speaker 1: uh in media at the same time. And Ron has 893 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,560 Speaker 1: had a storied career. I would, you know, give my 894 00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,360 Speaker 1: left leg to try to uh recreate the career that 895 00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,239 Speaker 1: he had in the Seal Team. So Ron, uh thanks 896 00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,239 Speaker 1: for being here. And I just got a text. I 897 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,319 Speaker 1: can't say his name, but I'll just tell you his 898 00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:31,920 Speaker 1: code name, Dumpster Dan. Uh Master Chief says hello, alright, awesome, 899 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,360 Speaker 1: I'm doing good. But listen, I want to ask you. 900 00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,480 Speaker 1: You know you we all, all those who serve, we 901 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:43,600 Speaker 1: fall in direct lineage of the founding fighters, not just 902 00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,920 Speaker 1: the founding fathers, but the founding fighters in this country, 903 00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:51,879 Speaker 1: the ones who fought against tyranny. What is it that's 904 00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:55,160 Speaker 1: going on in this country? You think where young people 905 00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:56,880 Speaker 1: don't want to serve because they don't want to go 906 00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,919 Speaker 1: to war. Young people don't want to serve because it's 907 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,879 Speaker 1: it's not something that they you know, it's cool, it's 908 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,600 Speaker 1: or they deem it something that that those let those 909 00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:10,799 Speaker 1: other people go serve what has happened to this country, um, 910 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,600 Speaker 1: and their understanding of freedom that those of us that 911 00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:18,920 Speaker 1: serve understand what are they missing? I think it's uh 912 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,680 Speaker 1: what there was. What it is media. It's not only media, 913 00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:27,640 Speaker 1: but the ability to uh of our technology these days too. 914 00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:30,719 Speaker 1: You know, the left wing, the left side, whatever you 915 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,239 Speaker 1: want to call it, is actually you know, really good 916 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,640 Speaker 1: at what they do. And that's getting whatever word they 917 00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 1: have out on social media or the big time media. 918 00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 1: And that's what these young people are listening to. And 919 00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,800 Speaker 1: it's infiltrated into our education system alway from elementary school 920 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:49,480 Speaker 1: always through universities. And I think as I travel the 921 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:54,160 Speaker 1: United States, and I travel it consistently, and I get 922 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,640 Speaker 1: to talk to schools and talk to these children, and 923 00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,400 Speaker 1: after I give my spiel or you know, even if 924 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,160 Speaker 1: it's a come up and meet me, there's so many 925 00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,400 Speaker 1: good America's out there. I just think we're really tainted 926 00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:08,520 Speaker 1: with the ability of media, uh, and it's out it's 927 00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,840 Speaker 1: it's uh, you know, because it's easy to get to. 928 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:14,640 Speaker 1: Back in the day World War two, people have to 929 00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 1: wait for reels to come back and find out what 930 00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,640 Speaker 1: was going on. And now it's just uh, you know, 931 00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,520 Speaker 1: wake up and look at your phone. Yeah, and and 932 00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,439 Speaker 1: the things that they're seeing are easily manipulated. I would 933 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,239 Speaker 1: turned on linked In the day. I'm on all these 934 00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:31,000 Speaker 1: different social media platforms, and on LinkedIn, people post stuff 935 00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:32,920 Speaker 1: on there. I don't understand why. But they posted this, 936 00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,400 Speaker 1: you know, a question, what is this? And the video 937 00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,560 Speaker 1: was of all these car crashes and intersections, but it 938 00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,040 Speaker 1: was just one car and there was nothing there, and 939 00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,439 Speaker 1: it was slamming into something as if they were trying 940 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:47,239 Speaker 1: to make people believe that some ghost entity was in 941 00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,600 Speaker 1: the intersection of these places. And I looked at the 942 00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 1: first comment and somebody just said, editing. That's it. It's 943 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,200 Speaker 1: just edited to make it. There's gonna be people that 944 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,160 Speaker 1: believe that's reality. And I can't help but think that 945 00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,200 Speaker 1: the media does the same thing. Oh. Absolutely. So you 946 00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,160 Speaker 1: look at YouTube, you look at Facebook, and you look 947 00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:06,279 Speaker 1: at all these things that it's supposed to be free speech. Well, 948 00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,319 Speaker 1: free speech only goes so far, and it's as far 949 00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,680 Speaker 1: and left as you can go. So what that means 950 00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:16,200 Speaker 1: is like YouTube and Facebook and Google and I can 951 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,080 Speaker 1: say that with Repreammunition, we have an immunition company, yet 952 00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:23,000 Speaker 1: we cannot pay them to advertise they actually have ammunition 953 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 1: and weapons listed with pornography and illegal drugs. Yeah, so 954 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:33,360 Speaker 1: that's what our young folks are actually seeing. And you know, 955 00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,520 Speaker 1: it looks like Parkland. Then department shooting happened down in Florida, 956 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,200 Speaker 1: which is horrible, terrific. You know, they didn't get to 957 00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,480 Speaker 1: see those other kids that were actually I wish there 958 00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:44,080 Speaker 1: was somebody with a gun there and then and having 959 00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,960 Speaker 1: that law enforcement actually, you know, step up to the 960 00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,560 Speaker 1: plate and say hey, we were wrong. No, they went 961 00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:51,440 Speaker 1: after it with social media and the left just got 962 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:54,560 Speaker 1: a hold of where they could actually go out and 963 00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:58,000 Speaker 1: put these kids in front of millions of millions of Americans, 964 00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,480 Speaker 1: if not the world, and say, oh, it wasn't It 965 00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,520 Speaker 1: had nothing to do with the persons who did wrong, 966 00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:06,120 Speaker 1: and everything to do with the gun. And the gun 967 00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,200 Speaker 1: doesn't jump in someone's hand and and cause damage, it's 968 00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,359 Speaker 1: the person behind it. So that's the problem. And that's 969 00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:14,879 Speaker 1: why we look at America like this nowadays, like, man, 970 00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:18,800 Speaker 1: it's really changed, Well, it hasn't. Politicians have been crazy 971 00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:23,080 Speaker 1: since our founding fathers George Bush, I mean George Bush, 972 00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,120 Speaker 1: actually George Washington said if we divided into two parties, 973 00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:29,040 Speaker 1: will divide this country in half, and eventually it will 974 00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,560 Speaker 1: go back to war. And it has. Yeah. I wonder 975 00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:34,320 Speaker 1: though if they saw the reality of the tyrannical I 976 00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,279 Speaker 1: guess that's probably what he was talking about. But the 977 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:41,160 Speaker 1: reality of how these two parties have actually are using 978 00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,719 Speaker 1: the same tactics as the tyrannical king that they fled from. 979 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,719 Speaker 1: It's amazing when you read the Declaration of Independence and 980 00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:50,440 Speaker 1: the and the bullet points. Yes, they used the bullet points. 981 00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,360 Speaker 1: And that's how I know that these people were military minded, 982 00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,919 Speaker 1: because they used if they would have had power point 983 00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:57,400 Speaker 1: back then, it would have been a bullet point for 984 00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,880 Speaker 1: him and they but they they actually put bullet points 985 00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:05,839 Speaker 1: to show exactly, um what the king was doing. And 986 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:10,280 Speaker 1: it's very similar to what's happening now. Oh absolutely absolutely. 987 00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:12,120 Speaker 1: I mean, you look back in the history. We had 988 00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,799 Speaker 1: a civil war, we had revolutionary war, which we fought 989 00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:18,680 Speaker 1: against ourselves. It wasn't another It wasn't the Dutch of 990 00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,120 Speaker 1: the Spanish that came over here and started fighting for America. 991 00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,640 Speaker 1: It was English, a lot of English, and that started fighting, 992 00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,399 Speaker 1: and we did trying to link up with some French 993 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,440 Speaker 1: and that because we had to in Spanish, because we 994 00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:31,440 Speaker 1: had to because of their nable and getting arms and 995 00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,840 Speaker 1: stuff like that. But really it was English against English. 996 00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,480 Speaker 1: That's what the Revolutionary War was. So in itself, it 997 00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:38,920 Speaker 1: was a civilian civil war. And then you look at 998 00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:42,000 Speaker 1: our actual civil war that we had with Lincoln being 999 00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,560 Speaker 1: our first legitimate republican president. And if I'm wrong, and 1000 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:49,040 Speaker 1: does anybody correct me, but as our first legitimate republican president, 1001 00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,560 Speaker 1: we had two parties and look what happened. George Washington 1002 00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:56,080 Speaker 1: was absolutely right. And now we look at today and 1003 00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,759 Speaker 1: we got Donald Trump as the president. Not one thing 1004 00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,960 Speaker 1: he does. I don't care what media stand is out there. 1005 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,960 Speaker 1: They can't just go, oh, he's done great. No one 1006 00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,600 Speaker 1: sat down with the North Korean dictator before and had 1007 00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,600 Speaker 1: such an impact that we're having now. Yea, it may 1008 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,360 Speaker 1: or may not come true, but at least he's doing something. 1009 00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,360 Speaker 1: You know, um when it was something you we talked 1010 00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,480 Speaker 1: about on my show The Experts that I that I 1011 00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:24,040 Speaker 1: do in the evenings. It's going to turn into a 1012 00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,760 Speaker 1: podcast now, but one of the things that we had 1013 00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:30,520 Speaker 1: talked about was that. I asked you, I said, what 1014 00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,600 Speaker 1: was different when you finally went to war? What was 1015 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,360 Speaker 1: different from the training that we went through? And you 1016 00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,919 Speaker 1: said that it's a three sixty degree all the way 1017 00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:45,520 Speaker 1: around you, uh mission where you have airplanes, you have ships, 1018 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,640 Speaker 1: you have other forces, and it's not just static and 1019 00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,160 Speaker 1: straight in front of you. It is literally you have 1020 00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:53,960 Speaker 1: you have to consider all the assets and things that 1021 00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,720 Speaker 1: you have in the enemy from a three sixty degree 1022 00:57:56,720 --> 00:58:00,520 Speaker 1: of you. I think that the American people offer from 1023 00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,480 Speaker 1: the same problem is that they haven't They don't realize 1024 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,920 Speaker 1: that they're in the fight and they don't have this 1025 00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,880 Speaker 1: degree view. They just look at this is the government 1026 00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:13,160 Speaker 1: they're screwing us over, or I need this and they 1027 00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:14,520 Speaker 1: need to give me this, or I want to be 1028 00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,640 Speaker 1: recognized and so you give me recognition. They don't realize 1029 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:21,480 Speaker 1: that there are so many other things in play, um 1030 00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:28,160 Speaker 1: that that make this country great or make the citizenry weak. Yeah. 1031 00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,120 Speaker 1: So I always tell people this, if you want to 1032 00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:36,520 Speaker 1: change America, number one, vote, If you want to complain 1033 00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:40,200 Speaker 1: about the way America is and you didn't vote, you 1034 00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,000 Speaker 1: don't really have anything to stand on. And here's your 1035 00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,160 Speaker 1: three sixty politics, your three sixty starts at the home. 1036 00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:51,600 Speaker 1: Who's your township supervisor, who is your city council? Who 1037 00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,160 Speaker 1: is your congressman, your senator? Is not just the President 1038 00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,360 Speaker 1: of the United States and his cabinet, not even close. 1039 00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,360 Speaker 1: When the n r A fights for the Second Amendment, 1040 00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,680 Speaker 1: everybody thinks that they're hiring a bunch of lawyers d C. 1041 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:05,200 Speaker 1: To combat you know, whatever that president or administration is. 1042 00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 1: Or No, they're fighting city ordinances across the United States. 1043 00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:13,880 Speaker 1: They're they're fighting state legislation across the United States. There's 1044 00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,560 Speaker 1: three hundred. There's a war going on between left and rights. 1045 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:18,840 Speaker 1: And I like to think that, you know, we're common 1046 00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,800 Speaker 1: sense people. The majority of Americans are common sense. If 1047 00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:23,680 Speaker 1: you just say, hey, this is a common sense party, 1048 00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:27,840 Speaker 1: not independent party, common sense party, I think more people 1049 00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,040 Speaker 1: would sign up for that. Because I do have friends 1050 00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:32,760 Speaker 1: that are Democrats, that are gun owners, they're hunters, they 1051 00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,800 Speaker 1: believe in first second, they believe in the Constitution, they 1052 00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:37,920 Speaker 1: believe in that stuff, and they're just common sense. They 1053 00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,600 Speaker 1: just have some different beliefs. Then on the other side, 1054 00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:42,800 Speaker 1: and the last but not at least thing I'll tell 1055 00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,400 Speaker 1: you about, you know, the three six fight. When I 1056 00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,240 Speaker 1: look at my battlefield, and I want to set my 1057 00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:50,560 Speaker 1: battlefield up. You know, life is like that. You know, 1058 00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:52,600 Speaker 1: we set up our goals, we set this up. Who 1059 00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:56,280 Speaker 1: do I want to put my self on? On who side? Why? 1060 00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,120 Speaker 1: Look at the Democrats side, and I look at who's 1061 00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,840 Speaker 1: been in power in the Democrats side, had they legitimately 1062 01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,600 Speaker 1: ever owned a company and created thousands and or millions 1063 01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,360 Speaker 1: of jobs? But even on their own dime, have they 1064 01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:11,200 Speaker 1: created jobs? No. On the Republican side, I look at 1065 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:14,800 Speaker 1: guys like Trump, He's created tens of thousands of jobs 1066 01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:19,240 Speaker 1: personally with his own empire, his own business. I look 1067 01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,880 Speaker 1: at you know, any Republican that's out there, and in 1068 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,000 Speaker 1: a lot of cases, most of those Republicans have actually 1069 01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,080 Speaker 1: owned businesses before they got in the politics from one 1070 01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:30,040 Speaker 1: way or another. If you look at the Clinton administration, 1071 01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:33,440 Speaker 1: then you look at the Obama administration, they never created 1072 01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:36,640 Speaker 1: a job one other than you know, maybe an autobiographer, writer, 1073 01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:40,920 Speaker 1: or you know, uh security or something. You know, at 1074 01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:44,200 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, you didn't have a job to his forty 1075 01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,240 Speaker 1: depending on the state. Listen to these people who can't 1076 01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:49,480 Speaker 1: take a dollar and make it into a hundred, I 1077 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,600 Speaker 1: would much rarely listen to somebody's gonna take a million 1078 01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 1: dollars and be a ten billionaire and then have somebody 1079 01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:58,440 Speaker 1: running me that can't create a job in a in 1080 01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:01,200 Speaker 1: a Walmart. So I got about uh, I got about 1081 01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:02,680 Speaker 1: a minute left here before I got to go to 1082 01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:04,880 Speaker 1: a break.

Uh. 1155 01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:42,480 Speaker 1: He was almost eighteen years old. He passed away May seven, 1156 01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:45,680 Speaker 1: lived an amazing life, buried in Arkansas next to my 1157 01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:49,040 Speaker 1: other dog Jesse. She was my pride and joy and um, 1158 01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:50,920 Speaker 1: and so I figured, you know, I don't know if 1159 01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:52,600 Speaker 1: you remember if you listen to this show regularly. We 1160 01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:54,720 Speaker 1: used to have a dog in her name, Treat, and 1161 01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:58,560 Speaker 1: she was an amazing dog. She was a service dog 1162 01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,000 Speaker 1: and she was going through the training. P assistant Lauren was, 1163 01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:03,520 Speaker 1: I guess you were kind of mentoring her, right, Lauren. 1164 01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,880 Speaker 1: I was a volunteer puppy raiser. So that means that 1165 01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:10,720 Speaker 1: you take the dogs, um, when they're puppies, and you 1166 01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,880 Speaker 1: raise them, You give them a good home, you socialize them, 1167 01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,520 Speaker 1: you teach them all the basic training, and then they 1168 01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,240 Speaker 1: go back for their advanced training and then hopefully they 1169 01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,600 Speaker 1: pass and become full fledged service talks and what is 1170 01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:25,040 Speaker 1: the update on Treat. By the way, Um, she has 1171 01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:28,680 Speaker 1: been placed with a veteran through the PTSD program. I 1172 01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:30,640 Speaker 1: loved her. She was so awesome. I know we miss 1173 01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:32,360 Speaker 1: her when you try to clip her tone nails. She 1174 01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:34,640 Speaker 1: didn't want anything to do with that. She would come 1175 01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:38,920 Speaker 1: a long way. Yeah good so Um. The Canine Companions 1176 01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:43,880 Speaker 1: for Independence is the nation's oldest largest assistance assistant I 1177 01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:48,640 Speaker 1: can't say that word assistance dog organization UH, serving children, adults, 1178 01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:52,400 Speaker 1: and veterans with disabilities. And interesting thing about them is 1179 01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:55,920 Speaker 1: that their forty third birthday is tomorrow on Independence Day. 1180 01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:57,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if if you all did that on purpose, 1181 01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:00,200 Speaker 1: but yeah, they did on purpose. So I think that's 1182 01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:04,200 Speaker 1: a great way to remember when you started your company. So, uh, 1183 01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:08,120 Speaker 1: we brought in um one of the one of the 1184 01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:12,920 Speaker 1: recipients of of one of the dogs from there, and 1185 01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:16,480 Speaker 1: he is a former US Marine, a third Battalions, Second 1186 01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:20,320 Speaker 1: Marine Regiment, Scout sniper.

What a voice, 1202 01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:12,640 Speaker 1: She's got a powerful voice. Um. So he was paired 1203 01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:14,400 Speaker 1: with Velvet, who you just heard there in two thousand 1204 01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:17,400 Speaker 1: and fifteen.

Um. And she's 1209 01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:34,400 Speaker 1: just she's what else do you have to say about her? 1210 01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:36,720 Speaker 1: Just amazing? What has it done for you to be 1211 01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:40,080 Speaker 1: with her? Well, I mean they they train her. There's 1212 01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:44,000 Speaker 1: over forty different commands that she knows. But it makes extensive, 1213 01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,040 Speaker 1: extensive training, and so she can do a lot for 1214 01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:48,480 Speaker 1: me in that respect. But the biggest impact Velots had 1215 01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:50,680 Speaker 1: on my life is the fact that she's a companion. 1216 01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:52,560 Speaker 1: She's something some you know, an animal that I can 1217 01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:55,600 Speaker 1: take with me everywhere and uh and and that's always there, 1218 01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:58,600 Speaker 1: something that gives me a purpose and um, just something 1219 01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:00,200 Speaker 1: I can spend time with and enjoy a lot with. 1220 01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:02,920 Speaker 1: You know a friend of mine, uh that is amazing 1221 01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:07,720 Speaker 1: American patriot and and uh his name is John. He's 1222 01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:10,800 Speaker 1: down in uh in New Jersey. He's done a lot 1223 01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,120 Speaker 1: of metal work for my show and and help me 1224 01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:15,120 Speaker 1: out with a lot of stuff. He and Trish both 1225 01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:18,639 Speaker 1: Trisha's uh, his companion down there. They they have had 1226 01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,240 Speaker 1: succession of dogs throughout their lives and they ended up 1227 01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:24,320 Speaker 1: getting a parrot. I think he's a parrot. Pete's huge. 1228 01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,519 Speaker 1: But he because he lives to be like eighty and 1229 01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:29,759 Speaker 1: so he said he got tired of burying dogs because 1230 01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:33,760 Speaker 1: of the emotional because people who love dogs, they do 1231 01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:36,840 Speaker 1: become a companion. I mean my dogs were like my kids, 1232 01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:42,200 Speaker 1: you know, and uh, they they become somebody who in 1233 01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:43,879 Speaker 1: a in a lot of ways, when you have anxiety, 1234 01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:47,240 Speaker 1: when you have that stress, they are a consistent hero 1235 01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:49,599 Speaker 1: in the way that they rescue you. That's right. Yeah, 1236 01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,360 Speaker 1: they're family member. Yeah, they're one of us. Has there 1237 01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:55,960 Speaker 1: been times where you've experienced now where you know, if 1238 01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:59,879 Speaker 1: if Velvett wasn't around U, there would be a different situation. 1239 01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,960 Speaker 1: It would be a different outcome to situations. Absolutely. Yeah, 1240 01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:05,320 Speaker 1: those days I have, you know, off days or whatever, 1241 01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:07,720 Speaker 1: just like everybody. But it's those days that I can 1242 01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:09,120 Speaker 1: rely on her, I can look at it, I can 1243 01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:10,920 Speaker 1: pet her and just interact with her. Maybe go take 1244 01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:13,280 Speaker 1: your swimmings because she loves doing that, so she always 1245 01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:15,879 Speaker 1: gives me that outlet. It's something to do, you know, essentially, 1246 01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:17,640 Speaker 1: when I don't think a lot of people realize when 1247 01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:20,080 Speaker 1: you're in the military, your life goes It doesn't matter 1248 01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:22,040 Speaker 1: what you do in the military. You're you're in the military. 1249 01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:24,360 Speaker 1: Your life is a hundred miles an hour. You show 1250 01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:27,200 Speaker 1: up and you're on a ship. You may be chip 1251 01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:29,559 Speaker 1: and paint all day, but your life still has meaning 1252 01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:31,280 Speaker 1: and purpose, and you're being told what to do, and 1253 01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:35,040 Speaker 1: you're in service and people care about your service. And 1254 01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:37,479 Speaker 1: when you get out. There's two things that I think 1255 01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:40,400 Speaker 1: we lose that if you've had if you have PTSD 1256 01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:43,200 Speaker 1: or if you just have PTS, which is postraumatic stress, 1257 01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:47,519 Speaker 1: your life goes from meaning to even though we still 1258 01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:50,640 Speaker 1: mean a lot, uh, it goes to little meaning in 1259 01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:53,320 Speaker 1: your mind in the public's eye. You go from a 1260 01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:56,439 Speaker 1: job that keeps you busy and a hundred percent of 1261 01:09:56,479 --> 01:10:02,800 Speaker 1: time too. Sometimes nothing, and you're painionship. That camaraderie is 1262 01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:06,479 Speaker 1: instantly gone. It's I can only equate it to the 1263 01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:09,240 Speaker 1: day you graduated high school and the next day you 1264 01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:11,360 Speaker 1: wake up, you have no homework and nobody that you 1265 01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:14,240 Speaker 1: hung out with for twelve years is anywhere around. And 1266 01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:19,400 Speaker 1: a dog can do so much to fill that void. Yep, absolutely, yeah, 1267 01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:22,559 Speaker 1: it blows my mind what she does. Do you work 1268 01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:26,040 Speaker 1: with her to do more training yourself? Are you integrated 1269 01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:28,640 Speaker 1: with her training? How does that work? Yep? So I 1270 01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:30,880 Speaker 1: can teach her basically whatever I'd like to teach her. 1271 01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:32,360 Speaker 1: I mean, she knows the commands that she got coming 1272 01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:35,479 Speaker 1: straight out of training from mechanic commands for independence, but um, 1273 01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:37,680 Speaker 1: we can kind of tailor their training to whatever we like. 1274 01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:40,320 Speaker 1: So she explaining with toys, of course, being a dog, 1275 01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:42,160 Speaker 1: and so one of the first commands that I taught 1276 01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:45,200 Speaker 1: her outside of her original commands was clean up. And 1277 01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:47,600 Speaker 1: so she'll spread her toys all over the floor like 1278 01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:49,519 Speaker 1: any other dog. And I'll go point to a toy 1279 01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:51,040 Speaker 1: and tell her cleaned up, and she'll take it and 1280 01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:53,040 Speaker 1: go drop it off right in her little box. And 1281 01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:54,560 Speaker 1: I'll go another toy and tell her clean up, and 1282 01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:56,000 Speaker 1: she'll take it from any other room and go put 1283 01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:57,639 Speaker 1: it in that one single box, put them all away, 1284 01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:02,080 Speaker 1: just like any kid. Typical marine. First thing he teaches 1285 01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:04,320 Speaker 1: is to clean up. Hey, we're not talking about crayons yet, 1286 01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:06,040 Speaker 1: so we're all right. Yeah, But when it comes to 1287 01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:08,680 Speaker 1: you know, you can't uh, that was the whole thing. 1288 01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:10,880 Speaker 1: Until your weapons are cleaned. You can't have a beer. 1289 01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:12,400 Speaker 1: That's the whole thing when it comes to you know, 1290 01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:14,519 Speaker 1: when you're in the fielder, when you're in training. And 1291 01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:17,240 Speaker 1: so that's typical of a marine, good marine to teach 1292 01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:19,680 Speaker 1: his dog to clean up. That's that's pretty awesome. So 1293 01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:21,720 Speaker 1: what you let me just ask you this real quick 1294 01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:23,920 Speaker 1: because we are limited on time here. Um. I want 1295 01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:26,840 Speaker 1: to ask you two things. First and foremost is what 1296 01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:30,000 Speaker 1: are the qualifications for somebody to be to to get 1297 01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:32,639 Speaker 1: a service dog like this that's a veteran And how 1298 01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:35,519 Speaker 1: do they go about doing this? I think there's a 1299 01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:37,559 Speaker 1: lot there's a lot of veterans out there that don't 1300 01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:39,479 Speaker 1: think they're qualified or they just don't know how, and 1301 01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:42,439 Speaker 1: so they never pursue it. Right, Well, I got lucky enough. 1302 01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:44,560 Speaker 1: I went through the v A when they had that study. 1303 01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:48,759 Speaker 1: But obviously you have to have a primary diagnosis of PTSD. UM. 1304 01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:50,759 Speaker 1: But other than that, I mean, there's there's several different 1305 01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:53,559 Speaker 1: organizations throughout the country that are provide dogs for vets. 1306 01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:56,840 Speaker 1: So they can always refer to any of the local organizations. 1307 01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:59,240 Speaker 1: I know, can can I compan its for independence UM, 1308 01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,960 Speaker 1: They're currently in the process. They've got a pilot program 1309 01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:04,799 Speaker 1: going on right now to provide service dogs for veterans. 1310 01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:07,080 Speaker 1: But like I said, still in the process. I think 1311 01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:11,000 Speaker 1: she's trained specifically for PTSD, like she recognizes certain things 1312 01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:13,559 Speaker 1: that have to do with PTSD. She does yep, and 1313 01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:16,360 Speaker 1: her commands are based on veterans with PTSD as well. 1314 01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:19,200 Speaker 1: If I turn it on light searching rooms, anything providing 1315 01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:22,880 Speaker 1: like a block position in public, all sorts of different 1316 01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:25,640 Speaker 1: things like that. So and but for other veterans, I 1317 01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:27,720 Speaker 1: would recommend this, I know you would that maybe they 1318 01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:29,519 Speaker 1: don't have PTSD, but they just got out they have 1319 01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:32,160 Speaker 1: PTS where they're they're stressed, they don't have that meaning anymore. 1320 01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:35,280 Speaker 1: Getting a dog is just an amazing even if you 1321 01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:38,000 Speaker 1: rescue it from the pound, it's uh, it's an amazing 1322 01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:40,200 Speaker 1: thing to change your life and give you meaning again 1323 01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:42,719 Speaker 1: it is yep, and not even you know, just for everybody, 1324 01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:45,320 Speaker 1: not even veterans, anybody to have a dog. That just 1325 01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:46,920 Speaker 1: makes the world of difference. So let me see us 1326 01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:49,200 Speaker 1: before we go to break. This has nothing to do 1327 01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:53,160 Speaker 1: with velvet, uh, but in a way it kind of does. 1328 01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:57,240 Speaker 1: You have been have been a marine, You paid a 1329 01:12:57,320 --> 01:13:00,479 Speaker 1: huge price for their freedom of this country. Would you 1330 01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:02,960 Speaker 1: recommend for those people that are driving down the road, 1331 01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:06,400 Speaker 1: those people are home listening to this show, um, and 1332 01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:09,679 Speaker 1: they're wanting I'm seeing a great disconnect between the parents 1333 01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:13,479 Speaker 1: and the children. Parents weren't educated enough in history and service, 1334 01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:16,400 Speaker 1: and the children are not educated at all. And what 1335 01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:22,599 Speaker 1: would you suggest to people, um and understanding what services 1336 01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:24,800 Speaker 1: all about, how important is and what it actually does. 1337 01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:27,960 Speaker 1: Even though you have made these sacrifices and you've had 1338 01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:31,320 Speaker 1: uh these issues when you got out, would you do 1339 01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:33,759 Speaker 1: it again? And what would you recommend to other people 1340 01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:36,400 Speaker 1: or not recommend? What would you tell other people to 1341 01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:39,360 Speaker 1: help them realize how important services and what it does 1342 01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:43,760 Speaker 1: to you on the inside. Well, I'll start off by 1343 01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:46,800 Speaker 1: saying that I was over and by the North Cove 1344 01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:49,519 Speaker 1: um the Manhattan the other day, and I looked over 1345 01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:52,120 Speaker 1: and saw the Statue of Liberty, and I know a 1346 01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:53,799 Speaker 1: lot of the locals that might take it for granted 1347 01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:55,600 Speaker 1: just because they see it every day. But I just 1348 01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:58,080 Speaker 1: kind of hit home, like I just got goose bumps 1349 01:13:58,120 --> 01:13:59,960 Speaker 1: just looking at the Statue of Liberty for something like that. 1350 01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:04,360 Speaker 1: But I guess the biggest thing is I would definitely 1351 01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:06,639 Speaker 1: do it again, without any question. I do it again. 1352 01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:09,200 Speaker 1: You make that camarader you make that brothership with with 1353 01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:11,479 Speaker 1: those guys that you're with, and there's nothing that can 1354 01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:14,920 Speaker 1: compare to that. So now do you think that that 1355 01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:19,320 Speaker 1: what you see in a lot of the young people today? Um, 1356 01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:20,679 Speaker 1: and they're afraid. They don't want go on the military 1357 01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:23,280 Speaker 1: because they're afraid to They're afraid to go to war. Um. 1358 01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:25,880 Speaker 1: You know you people do come back with injuries, people 1359 01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:30,360 Speaker 1: do get killed, But ultimately, uh, standing um at the 1360 01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:34,040 Speaker 1: ready for freedom. What does that do knowing that you 1361 01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:36,120 Speaker 1: did that, what does that fill you with? What is 1362 01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:39,160 Speaker 1: that that you can convey to them? Excitement? That pride? 1363 01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:42,800 Speaker 1: Pride is the biggest thing in a legacy. Absolutely. I mean, 1364 01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:44,439 Speaker 1: if you and I died today, we have a legacy 1365 01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:46,280 Speaker 1: that we actually stepped up to the plate and served 1366 01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:49,920 Speaker 1: regardless of regardless of you know, whether you're in combat, 1367 01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:52,519 Speaker 1: regardless of whether or not you come home with an injury. 1368 01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:55,799 Speaker 1: The fact is you when when you die, we all will. 1369 01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:59,000 Speaker 1: You will have a legacy that's pretty amazing. Only one 1370 01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:02,640 Speaker 1: percent of the population and gets that now, right, And Uh, 1371 01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:06,280 Speaker 1: we're here for the most eighty years, dead forever or gone. 1372 01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:08,200 Speaker 1: I mean we're not. I believe we live forever, but 1373 01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:10,880 Speaker 1: but gone from this earth. It's it's pretty amazing when 1374 01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:12,640 Speaker 1: you think about that. And and even serving in just 1375 01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:15,080 Speaker 1: the military is great, but being in the brotherhood of 1376 01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:17,400 Speaker 1: the Scott Sniper community is as a whole nother world. 1377 01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:19,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we could do a whole show on that. 1378 01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:20,640 Speaker 1: We'll have you back and we'll talk about that, and 1379 01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:22,840 Speaker 1: I'm good, and we'll talk about your service, we'll talk 1380 01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:24,519 Speaker 1: about who you're with.

He is 1475 01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:20,400 Speaker 1: one of the musicians that you see playing on stage 1476 01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:24,040 Speaker 1: with Eric Church, the country music star, and he's got 1477 01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:28,639 Speaker 1: it his incredible song and it's called it's called fiction. 1478 01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:39,360 Speaker 1: Let's play just a few seconds of that, just down 1479 01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:45,600 Speaker 1: fiction to keep up with the truth. I can't ye 1480 01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:52,800 Speaker 1: enough fiction, keep up with the truth, I think Greg. 1481 01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:57,000 Speaker 1: I think that says it all right there, wouldn't you agree, hey, Johnathan, 1482 01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:00,680 Speaker 1: great to be with a good song. And yeah, it 1483 01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:05,200 Speaker 1: has been a fiction for two years since the FBI 1484 01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:08,360 Speaker 1: and the Department of Justice started investigating Donald Trump for 1485 01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:12,200 Speaker 1: so called collusion, which is not even a crime excepting 1486 01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:17,559 Speaker 1: antitrust law. And they never had any evidence of a 1487 01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:21,880 Speaker 1: crime to justify a criminal investigation, so they changed it 1488 01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:25,800 Speaker 1: early on to a counter intelligence investigation. It turns out 1489 01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:30,240 Speaker 1: we now know they had no intelligence to justify the 1490 01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:34,919 Speaker 1: intelligen counter intelligence probe, and then of course it morphed 1491 01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:39,920 Speaker 1: into this absurd special counsel probe by Robert Muller and 1492 01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:43,880 Speaker 1: his team of partisans. So yeah, fiction, that's a beautiful 1493 01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:47,320 Speaker 1: song to summarize what's happened. That's and that's Jeff Hyde. 1494 01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:49,439 Speaker 1: You can get that on iTunes and Jeff Hyde music 1495 01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:51,240 Speaker 1: dot com. But let me just say this. You have 1496 01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:53,360 Speaker 1: a book that's coming out, and those of you you 1497 01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:55,920 Speaker 1: know here, I don't have to really tell people who 1498 01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:57,920 Speaker 1: you are, because I gotta tell you you have one 1499 01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:02,599 Speaker 1: of the most recognizable says. I think that's in television today. 1500 01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:04,639 Speaker 1: When I remember the first time I was on set 1501 01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:06,799 Speaker 1: with you over at Fox News, I was sitting across 1502 01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:08,360 Speaker 1: me going I felt the same way when I was 1503 01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:10,640 Speaker 1: across from Heraldo. I was like, I can't believe I'm 1504 01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:13,200 Speaker 1: across from Greg Jarrett. I mean, your voice is just 1505 01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:16,120 Speaker 1: that recognizable.

It's called the Russian 1507 01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:22,639 Speaker 1: host hoas the Illicit Scheme to clear Hillary Clinton.

Uh, 1509 01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:29,280 Speaker 1: how much when you look at this, okay, and when 1510 01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:31,719 Speaker 1: you were doing your research for this and you cover 1511 01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:36,880 Speaker 1: these stories, Um, how much of this stuff is for 1512 01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:39,519 Speaker 1: somebody like yourself that's in the media is mind blowing 1513 01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:42,240 Speaker 1: because you report stuff all the time about what's going 1514 01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:44,680 Speaker 1: on in government, and government has been corrupt, you know, 1515 01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:47,439 Speaker 1: for as long as governments have been around. But this 1516 01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:52,400 Speaker 1: has to be mind boggling, you know. Frankly, I've never 1517 01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:58,839 Speaker 1: seen such a fraud perpetrated on the American public since 1518 01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:02,920 Speaker 1: Water Gig, quite frankly. And I was, you know, a 1519 01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:07,720 Speaker 1: young man when that took place. And to think that 1520 01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:12,200 Speaker 1: top officials at the Department of Justice and the FBI, Uh, 1521 01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:16,360 Speaker 1: they're the ones who colluded, uh, in order to clear 1522 01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:20,519 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton. And then they went about framing Donald Trump. 1523 01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:23,840 Speaker 1: And actually, you know, Jonathan, they did it. They started 1524 01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:27,439 Speaker 1: the Trump Russian collusion case on the very day, within 1525 01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:32,519 Speaker 1: hours of James Comey absolving Hillary Clinton in is now 1526 01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:38,400 Speaker 1: infamous news conference July fIF two and sixteen, Almost simultaneously, 1527 01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:42,120 Speaker 1: the FBI was meeting for the very first time with 1528 01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:46,040 Speaker 1: this former British spy. They were doing this in London 1529 01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:50,760 Speaker 1: on the same day that Comy was clearing Clinton, they 1530 01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:53,280 Speaker 1: were meeting with him and he was handing over this 1531 01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:57,280 Speaker 1: dossier and I you know, it's published, people can look 1532 01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:01,599 Speaker 1: at it online. It is a far on its face, 1533 01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:07,360 Speaker 1: it is totally preposterous. In any intelligence semi intelligent person 1534 01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:11,720 Speaker 1: looking at this dossier would have immediately said, oh that 1535 01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:14,640 Speaker 1: you know, this is fiction. This is the work of 1536 01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:21,520 Speaker 1: a really bad first time novelist. Uh. You know, anonymous sources, 1537 01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:25,840 Speaker 1: second third, fourth hand hearsay none of it would ever 1538 01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:29,280 Speaker 1: be usable or provable in a court of law. And 1539 01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:33,760 Speaker 1: yet the FBI ran with it in order to destroy 1540 01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:40,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. And you know, this is the arrogance of 1541 01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:43,880 Speaker 1: power of people like James Comey, Andrew McKay, Peter Struck, 1542 01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:49,120 Speaker 1: Lisa Page. The list goes on and on, and power corrupts, 1543 01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:53,000 Speaker 1: and as the old saying goes absolute power corrupts absolutely. 1544 01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:56,040 Speaker 1: And this is what happened. And when you look at 1545 01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:59,200 Speaker 1: the fact, the fact that aren't readily reported, uh that 1546 01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:04,800 Speaker 1: this sime uh intelligence operative from Europe, from from Great 1547 01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:08,840 Speaker 1: Britain was also a paid FBI informant at one point 1548 01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:12,280 Speaker 1: that the dossier that he wrote just happened to be 1549 01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:16,320 Speaker 1: written precisely in a way that a FISA court judge 1550 01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:21,120 Speaker 1: could approve it um. Even though normally the process that 1551 01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:24,960 Speaker 1: these verification that these uh something like this dossier would 1552 01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:28,439 Speaker 1: go through is extreme and most get kicked back. UH. 1553 01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:32,040 Speaker 1: This only went through a minor review and then was 1554 01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:35,800 Speaker 1: approved as a piece of evidence. It is that from 1555 01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:38,920 Speaker 1: when I look at this from a former FBI investigators 1556 01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:44,120 Speaker 1: UH viewpoint, I look at entrapment, the whole thing looks like, 1557 01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:47,040 Speaker 1: we need some evidence. Let's make it. Okay, we got it, now, 1558 01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:49,800 Speaker 1: let's get it legitimized. They did that, and then they 1559 01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:52,400 Speaker 1: pinned on the president. That's the way this stuff is worked. 1560 01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:54,880 Speaker 1: And it was all paid for, by the way, about 1561 01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:58,440 Speaker 1: the Hillary Clinton campaign, and then the Democratic National Committee 1562 01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:02,960 Speaker 1: spent more than a million dollars fulling it to Fusion GPS, 1563 01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:06,800 Speaker 1: who then gave it to the British spy was apparently 1564 01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:12,680 Speaker 1: paying uh some of these alleged Russian contacts that he had. 1565 01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:15,120 Speaker 1: He hadn't been in Russian in twenty years, and he 1566 01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:18,479 Speaker 1: didn't have any contacts left in Russia. And the fact 1567 01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:22,439 Speaker 1: that it was paid for by Democrats in Clinton was 1568 01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:27,240 Speaker 1: concealed from the face judges who were reviewing the application 1569 01:26:27,320 --> 01:26:31,840 Speaker 1: for a warrant wire tap the Trump campaign. And there 1570 01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:37,200 Speaker 1: is a veiled, a cryptic reference in two footnotes, and 1571 01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:40,120 Speaker 1: I you know, I've read them, and I mean, there's 1572 01:26:40,160 --> 01:26:42,559 Speaker 1: no way that you could tell that the money came 1573 01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:46,040 Speaker 1: from Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. You know, this is 1574 01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:48,760 Speaker 1: a fraud upon the court, which, by the way, is 1575 01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:51,960 Speaker 1: a crime if lawyers are the FBI or the Department 1576 01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:55,120 Speaker 1: of Justice do that. It's also called abuse of power, 1577 01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:58,160 Speaker 1: which which is a federal statue that makes it a 1578 01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:02,920 Speaker 1: felony to do what they did. Well, there's there are 1579 01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:06,040 Speaker 1: so many felonies if it was a normal person and 1580 01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:08,800 Speaker 1: not at this senior executive service which I keep talking about, 1581 01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:11,719 Speaker 1: or people connected to this SCS program, which I think 1582 01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:14,040 Speaker 1: is a whole book and of itself. Let me ask 1583 01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:15,559 Speaker 1: you this's real quick. You know that you hosted just 1584 01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:17,400 Speaker 1: the other day. The show is going by so fast. 1585 01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:20,800 Speaker 1: We got about three minutes left. I want to ask you, Um, 1586 01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:23,559 Speaker 1: there's two headlines that are coming out and I want 1587 01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:25,439 Speaker 1: to get your opinion on these things. And then if 1588 01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:26,800 Speaker 1: you don't mind, I'd like to have you back on 1589 01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:29,519 Speaker 1: Friday show, uh, to cover just a little bit more 1590 01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:32,719 Speaker 1: of this but um, how do you do it? All? Right? Great? Okay? 1591 01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:36,400 Speaker 1: So the two headlines are the House Committee subpoenas, FBA 1592 01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:39,479 Speaker 1: agent struck to testify in public. I think Page may 1593 01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:42,120 Speaker 1: have been uh subpoena as well. I want to get 1594 01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:45,200 Speaker 1: your opinion on that. And and also Devin Nunius Warren's 1595 01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:50,120 Speaker 1: Obama officials willingly testify on Russia investigation or face subpoenas. 1596 01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:54,240 Speaker 1: The question I guess halfway is how powerful these subpoenas? 1597 01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:57,920 Speaker 1: And Greg, we've been seeing this again and again, what 1598 01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:01,400 Speaker 1: good does any of these things do? Does Congress have 1599 01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:06,280 Speaker 1: any power left? No? Functionally they don't because for too 1600 01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:09,240 Speaker 1: long they never enforced subpoenas. So the Department of Justice 1601 01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:11,080 Speaker 1: and the FBI got out of the habit of just 1602 01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:15,479 Speaker 1: ignoring them or defying them with impunity. Yes, you can 1603 01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:20,560 Speaker 1: hold somebody like Rob Rosenstein in contempt. There's a resolution 1604 01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:22,800 Speaker 1: to do that if he doesn't turn over documents by 1605 01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:28,519 Speaker 1: July six. But you know, contempt is nothing. You know 1606 01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:31,400 Speaker 1: what asked Eric Holder. He was held in contempt, it 1607 01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:34,080 Speaker 1: had no effect on his career. You would have to 1608 01:28:34,120 --> 01:28:37,720 Speaker 1: impeach him, but that that requires two thirds of the U. S. 1609 01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:41,040 Speaker 1: Senate you'll never get that with Democrats opposing it. That 1610 01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:44,719 Speaker 1: what ought to happen for people like Rod Rosenstein, for example, 1611 01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:49,599 Speaker 1: who continues to defy lawful subpoenas, is the President should 1612 01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:52,639 Speaker 1: send him a letter and say you are hereby directed 1613 01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:57,000 Speaker 1: to comply fully with all lawful subpoenas issued for the 1614 01:28:57,040 --> 01:29:01,200 Speaker 1: House Intelligence Committee. Failure to do so as grounds for termination. 1615 01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:05,720 Speaker 1: And if Rosenstein misses the deadline on July six, you 1616 01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:08,360 Speaker 1: got to be fired by the President who is in 1617 01:29:08,479 --> 01:29:11,960 Speaker 1: charge of the Department of Justice and the FBI. And 1618 01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:15,160 Speaker 1: he can do that, and absolutely he can do that, 1619 01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:18,360 Speaker 1: and he should do that, and he cannot be accused 1620 01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:22,000 Speaker 1: of obstruction of justice because what he is doing is 1621 01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:26,519 Speaker 1: upholding justice and the rule of law. Congress has the 1622 01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:31,479 Speaker 1: authority of oversight. It's in the constitution. They issue lawful 1623 01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:35,120 Speaker 1: subpoenas and they cannot and should not be ignored. So 1624 01:29:35,240 --> 01:29:38,760 Speaker 1: let's have you back on UM on Friday when I'm 1625 01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:41,360 Speaker 1: hosting again, and let's talk a little bit more if 1626 01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:43,560 Speaker 1: you don't mind about your book, the Russian hoax, the 1627 01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:46,240 Speaker 1: illicit scheme to clear Hillary Clinton, because I want to 1628 01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:48,920 Speaker 1: I want to see that right now.

So I 1651 01:30:54,160 --> 01:30:56,280 Speaker 1: just want to read part of this because I don't 1652 01:30:56,280 --> 01:30:57,479 Speaker 1: think i'll get through it, but I want you to 1653 01:30:57,520 --> 01:30:59,880 Speaker 1: think about something as I read this, and I wrote 1654 01:30:59,880 --> 01:31:02,680 Speaker 1: the US about the United States, And there there's a 1655 01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:06,040 Speaker 1: great mountain upon which many minds, young and old have 1656 01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:10,400 Speaker 1: gazed upon. God himself shines his grace upon this mountain, 1657 01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:14,000 Speaker 1: lights so pure and loving that it draws forth greatness 1658 01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:17,400 Speaker 1: and inspires true seekers to sacrifice for the greater goods, 1659 01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:21,120 Speaker 1: so that all may partake in its glorious victory. Leaders 1660 01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:25,240 Speaker 1: of men, inspired individuals, and freedom seekers have sought the 1661 01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:28,720 Speaker 1: path to the top of this great mountain, hoping to 1662 01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:33,080 Speaker 1: find freedom, unity, and equal rights under God. Anyone that 1663 01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:36,640 Speaker 1: has fought the good fight and striven to achieve the 1664 01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:40,200 Speaker 1: greater good has looked up and eventually realized that reaching 1665 01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:44,479 Speaker 1: the top of that great mountain is not unachievable, but 1666 01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:47,519 Speaker 1: it is a quest that can only be achieved through 1667 01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:52,280 Speaker 1: participation of the entire citizenry. This is the truth about 1668 01:31:52,280 --> 01:31:56,439 Speaker 1: that mountain. All must drive as though the climb depends 1669 01:31:56,840 --> 01:32:00,439 Speaker 1: on their efforts alone. Well, At the same time, everyone 1670 01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:04,559 Speaker 1: involved must understand that no single human is capable of 1671 01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:08,639 Speaker 1: sustaining a solo climb, nor are they worthy of standing 1672 01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:12,559 Speaker 1: at the pinnacle and claiming it as their own. But 1673 01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:15,160 Speaker 1: there's another truth about this place where the light of 1674 01:32:15,160 --> 01:32:18,720 Speaker 1: God shines and his glory prevails. Those that wish to 1675 01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:22,800 Speaker 1: control and enslave their fellow man will also desire ownership 1676 01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:26,240 Speaker 1: of this great mountain. They will lie and convince the 1677 01:32:26,360 --> 01:32:29,760 Speaker 1: masses to give their lives for the climb, while constantly 1678 01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:34,080 Speaker 1: feeding them a distorted perception of the purpose and meaning 1679 01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:39,759 Speaker 1: of the quest to reach the top. This distorted understanding 1680 01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:43,679 Speaker 1: leads straight to the servitude and dependency. Unable to think 1681 01:32:43,720 --> 01:32:46,760 Speaker 1: for themselves, the masses duped into the climb through the 1682 01:32:46,800 --> 01:32:50,120 Speaker 1: deception and trickery and nefarious lives, will begin to believe 1683 01:32:50,160 --> 01:32:53,760 Speaker 1: that they themselves are working together for the collective equality. 1684 01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:58,200 Speaker 1: That is what's happening today, folks. Yet the sad reality 1685 01:32:58,280 --> 01:33:00,920 Speaker 1: is that the wolves of power have no interest in 1686 01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:06,439 Speaker 1: sharing their position at the top. The wolves use the 1687 01:33:06,920 --> 01:33:10,040 Speaker 1: knowledge and experience of the sheep like wrongs on the 1688 01:33:10,120 --> 01:33:13,160 Speaker 1: ladder to increase their position and stature, while the sheep 1689 01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:17,560 Speaker 1: blindly give over their freedom and ultimately their lives to oppression. 1690 01:33:17,920 --> 01:33:20,400 Speaker 1: And that is where we're going. Yet, there is one 1691 01:33:20,479 --> 01:33:22,879 Speaker 1: last truth that we must understand, and we must understand 1692 01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:25,960 Speaker 1: it now. Is the truth that cannot be comprehended by 1693 01:33:25,960 --> 01:33:30,360 Speaker 1: great liars of history or those in the league with them. 1694 01:33:30,439 --> 01:33:33,639 Speaker 1: That truth is this, While God may have granted freedom 1695 01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:37,360 Speaker 1: to each individual to be ensured through the Constitution, those 1696 01:33:37,439 --> 01:33:42,240 Speaker 1: rights are completely dependent upon a united citizenry and the 1697 01:33:42,280 --> 01:33:45,360 Speaker 1: great mountain of which I speak, where the sacred pinnacle exists, 1698 01:33:45,400 --> 01:33:49,080 Speaker 1: upon which the light of God shines and its glory rains. Well, 1699 01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:54,600 Speaker 1: that great mountain is named America, and it's citizenry or 1700 01:33:54,760 --> 01:33:59,720 Speaker 1: what is actually the heart of this great mountain? I'm 1701 01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:02,120 Speaker 1: john to think, Gil, and I'll see you again on Friday. 1702 01:34:02,200 --> 01:34:04,200 Speaker 1: Maybe I'll read that again and give you the full speech. 1703 01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:08,200 Speaker 1: I want you to go donate to the Brandon Church 1704 01:34:08,240 --> 01:34:12,280 Speaker 1: Memorial Scholarship. Do it help them get a scholarship to 1705 01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:15,519 Speaker 1: remember Brandon.

I believe in you, and 1712 01:34:34,280 --> 01:34:39,719 Speaker 1: I believe in the independence that our founding fathers gave 1713 01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:43,920 Speaker 1: their lives for, that men fought for two and forty 1714 01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:48,840 Speaker 1: two years ago. You are a direct lineage of those 1715 01:34:48,880 --> 01:34:52,519 Speaker 1: individuals born into freedom because of them. Don't lose it 1716 01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:56,880 Speaker 1: because of you. I can't thank you enough for tune in. 1717 01:34:57,120 --> 01:34:58,880 Speaker 1: I'll see you again on Friday.

It comes with a price, 1722 01:35:10,840 --> 01:35:13,160 Speaker 1: and that price has been paid by the blood and 1723 01:35:13,200 --> 01:35:19,000 Speaker 1: sacrifice of other free human beings, free Americans.
