Here's Michael Barry in for Clay 4 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 1: Travis said, Buck Sexton, Merry Christmas, all. I hope your 5 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: holiday was wonderful. Most importantly, the greatest gift is those 6 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: we love around us. You know, I feel bad for 7 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: the memos and peepaus because when you get to a 8 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: certain age, there's nothing you can buy on the shelves 9 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: that makes you happy anymore. It's the fellowship of family. 10 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: It's hugging those grand babies. And for all of those 11 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: out there who did not get to do that, and 12 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: maybe this was the second year in a row. I 13 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,279 Speaker 1: was having a conversation with a friend of mine this 14 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: morning and he was talking about his parents laughed more 15 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: than they've ever laughed at Christmas, and they said this 16 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: was the most special Christmas because we had to have 17 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: it taken away for us to appreciate it. For every 18 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: one of you out there who didn't, I don't know 19 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: that I can save the wound, but our thoughts and 20 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: prayers go out to you. It's a tough time. It's 21 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: a tough time. You probably know Joe Biden over the 22 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: weekend received a phone call. It was from someone who 23 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: had called Norad and they patched him through to the president. 24 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: He's a thirty five year old named Jared Schmeck, and 25 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: I'd love to have you on the show. Jared. The 26 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: phone number is one eight hundred two eight to twenty 27 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: eight eighty two. He's gone into hiding after this, as 28 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: if he committed some crime. One eight hundred two eight 29 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: two twenty eight eighty two. Jared Schmeck, if you're out there, 30 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: former police officer in Oregon. They patched him through to 31 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: the president. He has his son. He has three kids, 32 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: but he has his son with him. They were just 33 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,279 Speaker 1: calling to check on Santa status and he gets patched 34 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: through to Joe Biden. It's this show, this dog and 35 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: pony show of the President wishing someone well who wanted 36 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: to know what Santa's update was. But Biden can't do that. 37 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: Any attempt to humanize him is always going to fail. 38 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: And the scene comes off sort of like Ron Burgundy 39 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: in Anchorman. And you'll remember that Fred Willard was so 40 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: good as the news director Ed Harkin. He's trying to 41 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: keep Ron Burgundy, you know, in his lane, and Ron 42 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: Burgundy will read anything that appears on the teleprompter. He's 43 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: an anchorman in San Diego and he signs off every 44 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: night with stay Classy, san Diego. But Veronica Corningstone, his 45 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: former love interest, wants his job. So she tells someone, 46 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: if you'll just or she's told, if you'll just put 47 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: something on the screen, he'll read it. And so they do, 48 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: and they put so f yourself, San Diego, and he 49 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: didn't even realize that he had said it. So the 50 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: funnier part than him signing off with that was that 51 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: he didn't even realize what he'd done. It's sort of 52 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: the reverse of Joe Biden, because the only thing worse 53 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: than him reading period, pause, plause, line, next sentence in 54 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: the middle of the teleprompter is when they take away 55 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: the teleprompter and he doesn't realize where he is. And 56 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: that's what happened. Jared Schmack said, let's go Brandon, and 57 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: Joe Biden had one of those foggy moments where he said, 58 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: let's go Brandon. I agree, And there has been a 59 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: meltdown over this. How dare you say this to Joe Biden? 60 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: Here is the original anchorman scene. I have some information 61 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: that you can choose to use or not use. Up 62 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: to you. Ron Burgundy will read anything that is put 63 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: on that teleprompter. And when I say anything, I mean 64 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: Arnold QWA. After the photo Matt was destroyed, the bear 65 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: scampered back into the woods. Apparently he wasn't too happy 66 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: with his color prints from the entire Channel four news team. 67 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: I'm Veronica corning Stone and I'm Ron Burgundy. Go for yourself, 68 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: san Diego. What in the name no nobody comes to 69 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: nobody seated that way?

Everyone on the floor as well. 71 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: Imagine you're the Fred Willard, the news director to Joe 72 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: Biden's anchor man. Imagine you're his chief of staff. Imagine 73 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: you're the guys behind the scene running things and you 74 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: have to roll him out there and Jill keep your 75 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: hand on him, don't let him say anything dumb, and 76 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: you just can't help himself. I have some altimation that 77 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: you can choose to use or not to use. Up 78 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: to you.

Who put Let's go Brandon on the teleprompter. 88 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: Netflix has a wonderful film out right now that tells 89 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: the story of one of my all time heroes, Winston Churchill. 90 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: The setting is that Germany has rolled across Poland to 91 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: the east, and they smashed through France to the west 92 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 1: across the Ardenne in The situation is dire. Their next 93 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: conquest is Great Britain and it looks inevitable. Almost the 94 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: entire British army is surrounded by the Germans at Dunkirk 95 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: I think it is, or just outside of Dunkirk, and 96 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: all hope is lost. It's early May nineteen forty. Neville 97 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: Chamberlain steps down as Prime Minister. Lord Halifax is to 98 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: be the next prime minister, but despite all odds, Halifax 99 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: doesn't want it. Churchill is brought in. He's going to 100 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: be the prime minister. Most people in his party want 101 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: him to compromise with Hitler to avoid total annihilation of 102 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: the military, just like the Rhinos today constantly want to 103 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: give votes to build back better or critical race theory, 104 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: or election reform or whatever else progressivism demands. But Churchill 105 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: stood tall, and he risked it all and he prevailed, 106 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: as we know from history. As JFK would later say 107 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: in his tribute, Churchill mobilized the English language and sent 108 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: it into battle well as his island was on the 109 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: verge of falling to the powerful German luftwaff Foot that 110 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: nobody could stop. He inspired his countrymen with his words, 111 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: but at night he would cajole Fdr. The US had 112 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: to come into the war. We had to help turn 113 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: the tide. The rest, as they say, is history. That 114 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: film is called The Darkest Hour, and I commend it 115 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: to you. It was a very dark hour for Britain 116 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: and for the cause of freedom around the world. The 117 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: tyrants change, the titles change, but the times don't change. 118 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: It should also be noted that while Churchill mobilized the 119 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: English language and sent it into war, words didn't win 120 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: the war warriors did. America's communities mobilized our young men 121 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: and sent them into war to aid British and other allies. 122 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: Some of them were your fathers, some were your grandfathers. 123 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: Many of them died. Had they not gone and fought 124 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: so bravely and died, we wouldn't know them as the 125 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: greatest generation. But we do because because they did. I'd 126 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: like to spend the first part of this hour talking 127 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: about people who are fighting wars abroad and at home 128 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 1: against the enemies of our state and our people, the 129 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: enemies of freedom. I'd like to profile some everyday heroes. 130 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: Some of them names you'll recognize in some of them 131 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: you won't. Because just like you have to support a 132 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: band in order to launch them from the garage to 133 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: the local club to the national stage, we have to 134 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: support and promote people who are doing the right things. 135 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: We're very good at criticizing those we don't like. It's 136 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: time we compliment those who do. In the next hour, 137 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: we'll talk to Nick Sercy. His new film is Capital 138 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: Punishment the Movie, and it tells the story of what 139 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: really happened on January sixth and afterwards, and then after 140 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: that we'll take some of your calls and we'll talk 141 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: to Marcus Latrelle about the death of a very famous 142 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: Navy seal over the weekend.

Media now condemns outspoken soldiers. 151 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: US service members swear a military oath, not the mafia's 152 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: oath of omerta. The idea that if you're a member 153 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: of the military and you can't speak out is very disturbing, 154 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 1: especially because for years that was something that we celebrated. 155 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: That pieces at Klaymbuck dot com.

He's a very famous actor. 171 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: But four years ago today he was a talk show host. 172 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: Four years ago today, Nick Sercy was guest hosting for 173 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh. How cool was that? It was amazing? It 174 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: was just a dream come true. You know, I'm just 175 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: some kid who you know, grew up in North Carolina 176 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: and I found Russia on the radio and I listened 177 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: to him for twenty years, and he kind of got 178 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: me through the Hollywood years, you know, with a little sanity, 179 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: and then it's just so such a bizarre turn of 180 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: events that I wound up doing that. He became a 181 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: fan because it justified too, and we got to talking 182 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: and it all happened that way. It was very, very gratifying. Well, 183 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: folks who may not know your name because they don't 184 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: know actors names will remember your show because you talked 185 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: about Rastling the whole time. And I remember, I'm listening 186 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: in and I'm rooting for my buddy because you're filling 187 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: in for Rush. And this is a highlight of my 188 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: career as a talk show host. You know, Clay and 189 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: Buck know what a what a Rush nut I am, 190 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: and I love those guys. And for me to get 191 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: to fill in and talk to his audience, it'll always 192 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: be Russia's audience. And those guys will tell you that. 193 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: But for you, who was not a talk show host, 194 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: to be getting to do that, and here you were 195 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: explaining how Trump uses wrestling strategies as a president, as 196 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: a candidate, as a leader, and really explaining it because 197 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: you've done a documentary on wrestling. I thought that was 198 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: really cool, and I guarantee you people remember you for that. Yeah, 199 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: people do mention the Trump, the Trump wrestling heel analogies 200 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: with the color. Yeah. Well and it was well done. Well. 201 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: Now four years later, you're on the show, The Clay 202 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 1: and Buck Show talking to Rush's audience with me, Michael Berry. 203 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: He's Nick Serc s E A r C Y, And 204 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: I am so excited. You know, I interview people that 205 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: write books or make movies every day. I can't ever 206 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: read the book or watch the movie before I interview 207 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: them because there are too many of them. I just 208 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: don't have enough hours off air. This one was very 209 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: important to me, Nick, as I told you, but I'm 210 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: going to retell it again. I was talking to Jack 211 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: Posovik about the Capitol protest on January sixth, a couple 212 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, and I said, you know, somebody needs 213 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: to tell the story of what really happened, because because 214 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: this is a national tragedy. I mean, I mean, this 215 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: is as awful as it gets. And these people were imprisoned, 216 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: and we've been told it was an insurrection and it 217 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: wasn't and all these different things, and they're doing this 218 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: to keep Trump from running and that's what's happening, and 219 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: to silence Trump supporters that they'll be afraid. And that's 220 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: how they've done this whole thing. I said, somebody needs 221 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: to do something about it. And even though Jack's in 222 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: your film, because we were talking so fast and moving 223 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: back and forth, I didn't know that you'd already made 224 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: the movie. You've made the documentary which the next day 225 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: I talked to you. You send me the link. I 226 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: watch it. It's called Capital Punishment Capital t O L 227 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: C A p I t O L and it's about 228 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: what happened on January sixth and what has happened since. 229 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: And I'm going to tell you something. Folks. You don't 230 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: know me long enough to trust my recommendations, and I 231 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: don't tell you to buy something or see something. Often 232 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: if you watch one movie this year, this is the one. 233 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: It will make your blood boil, but it will inform 234 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: you in ways. You're going to learn things that you 235 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: thought you knew. But there's no news network telling you this. 236 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: So nixt start the story with your involvement on January 237 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: sixth and how the film came well. I went to 238 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: Washington on January sixth. It was kind of a last 239 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: minute decision. I didn't really go there with the idea 240 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: of making a film. I just went because I wanted 241 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: to be part of the crowd. I wanted to be 242 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: part of history. I thought it was important, and I 243 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: was on my way back east anyway, so I just 244 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: went there and walked around like a tourist and talked 245 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: to people and made some little iPhone videos or whatever. 246 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: And I saw just a remarkably happy and joyful crowd. 247 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: I mean they were there for a serious purpose that 248 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: they were smiling and saying the Pledge of Allegiance and 249 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: praying and singing hymns and waving flags. And to me, 250 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: it just looked like a tailgate party. It didn't look 251 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: like didn't anything violent at all. I didn't see any 252 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: of it. And when I got home that night and 253 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: started watching the news, it was nothing that I saw 254 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: on television was like anything that I personally had experienced. 255 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: So that's kind of how the idea for a movie 256 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: came about. And as the months rolled on and I've 257 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: heard about people being arrested and some people being sort 258 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: of about breaking down their doors and that sort of thing, 259 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: I just started to think, Okay, there's something I don't 260 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: know why they're lying to us. I don't know why 261 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: they aren't showing us the size of the crowd. I 262 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: don't know why they aren't showing the people that were 263 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: there peacefully praying and singing. They're only showing us this 264 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: one thing, this one aspect of it. So that's that's 265 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: kind of how I decided we need to make a 266 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: movie about this. We need to find out why they're 267 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: lying to us and what the narrative they're trying to 268 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: push really means for our country. So you're a storyteller 269 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: through film, and you tell the story very effectively by 270 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: showing real time footage because you had no idea what 271 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: was going to happen on that day. And you see 272 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: the people, they're having so much fun. They're just delighted, 273 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: they're enjoying themselves. Let's I want to take some pieces 274 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: of the film that really stuck out to me. One 275 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: of them was that they have edited President Trump's speech 276 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: to make it sound like he was saying, now, march 277 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: over to the Capitol and burn the place down, when 278 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: in fact that's the exact opposite of what he said, 279 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah, I mean he had a little part 280 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: of his speech where he said I know now that 281 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: some of you may walk over to the Capitol and 282 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. And they took 283 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: that part out. They took out peacefully and patriotically make 284 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: your voices heard, and they edited it together. I know 285 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: some of you are going to go to the Capitol now, 286 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: and we will never take this country back with weakness. 287 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: So they edit it together, and in the film you 288 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: can see they put up on the screen words and 289 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: violence to make it look like Trump's words caused the violence, 290 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: and they ended out peacefully and patriotically. I mean, the 291 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: level of deception here is so blatant and just so 292 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: in your face. The way they lie. They're not even 293 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 1: trying to hide it anymore, Michael. They just do it 294 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: and say well. They never take it back, they never apologize, 295 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: they just move on to the next lie. It's really appalling, Affiliates. 296 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: We're going to go to break a little bit early, 297 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 1: which is in just a moment, so we have enough 298 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 1: time that can ask some longer questions in the next segment, 299 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: and you're going to learn how BLM and FBI were 300 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: involved on January sixth, and it is disturbing. We're talking 301 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: to Nick Sercy. The movie is Capital Punishment, the movie 302 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: dot Com. I'm Michael Berry And for Clay Travis and 303 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton continuing the message honoring the memory Clay Travis 304 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton on the EIB network, you cannot ignore 305 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: what is being done with January sixth. First of all, 306 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: a lie, if hold often enough, takes on the patina 307 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: of the truth. And a lot of our neighbors believe 308 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 1: that January sixth was somehow an insurrection, an attempt to 309 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: violently overthrow the government. None of that is true. None 310 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: of it is true. You have to stand up to 311 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: these things. You had to stand up to the Jesse 312 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: Smillett hoax because otherwise they'd tell you it was true. 313 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: That's why Special Prosecutor Dan Webb deserves so much credit, 314 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: because he doggedly pursued that case and proved that Jesse 315 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: Smollett lied for a reason. There was a reason he lied, 316 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: there was a reason he made it out that it 317 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: was Trump supporters. He would be that there was a 318 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: new surround his neck. He couldn't just say that some guys. 319 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest. It's two o'clock in the 320 00:19:55,520 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: morning downtown ice cold Chicago. White guys are not assaulting 321 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: a black guy at two o'clock in the morning in 322 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: downtown Chicago. It's not happening. Their shootings going on, but 323 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: that's not what's happening. But why did he alter that description? 324 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: Why did he create that scenario because it made him 325 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: so much more sympathetic. He wanted to stay on the 326 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: TV show and he was about to be kicked off, 327 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: and so he set this whole thing up to make 328 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: himself a sympathetic victim. The Rolling Stone magazine story that 329 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: they lost all the money when they were sued over 330 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 1: what happened. Why did they claim it was white frat 331 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: boys who raped this girl Because that's toxic masculinity. It 332 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: couldn't be a black guy, couldn't be a Hispanic guy, 333 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: it couldn't be a Pakistani guy, a Muslim kid had 334 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 1: to be white Southern gentleman. The Duke Lacrosse story. Why 335 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: did Nifong push that story? Oh, these white rich kids 336 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: from New York coming down to Duke driving BMW's and rape. 337 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: That was a hoax. It was a hoax so knifehone 338 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: could get reelected. This January sixth lie, this insurrection, deadly violence. 339 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: All this In fact, Meet the Press over the weekend. 340 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: Last weekend, Meet the Press had an in memorium of 341 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one those who died this year, and they 342 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,719 Speaker 1: had six police officers who died, and they said died 343 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: in the Capitol insurrection. Well that's not true. They weren't killed. 344 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: They died of strokes and heart attacks. Maybe because they 345 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: were made to keep secrets. Who planned in those pipe bombs? 346 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: Will we ever know? Why doesn't anybody talk about it? 347 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: Why isn't the January sixth Committee investigating that? Look, I'm 348 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: not a conspiracy guy. I'm not and I've never been 349 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: one for those. I think you lose your credibility when 350 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: you chase conspiracies. But what happens when the conspiracy is true? 351 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: Do you just ignore it because it's inconvenient. Let's go 352 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: to Joe in Jacksonville, Florida. Joe, you're on the Clay 353 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: and Buck Show. I'm Michael Berry guest hosting. Go ahead, 354 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: my man. Well, Michael, thank you for taking my call. 355 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 1: Unfortunately I never got to do this with the Honorable 356 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: Russia Limbaugh. But I think you're doing a fine job today. 357 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: From the Great State of Texas. Okay. So I actually 358 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 1: went up to DC on January sixth because my son 359 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: was a first time voter, and with that first time voter, 360 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: I was retired Navy at the time and had not 361 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: started with my new company, so I was watching all 362 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: these hearings on TV and stuff, and things just did 363 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: not add up with the election. So we wanted to 364 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: as a first time voter that he was, I wanted 365 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: to show him the First Amendment process and really explain 366 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: that or make a demonstration that nobody was looking into 367 00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: the election anomalies. And I've done various handouts, various things 368 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: here locally in the Saint John's area, and everybody that 369 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: I've ever stood on a street corner with said, you know, 370 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: if you can answer all these questions, we accept the election, 371 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: no problem. But our issue was nobody was looking into it. Now. 372 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: What I saw there that day was a lot of 373 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: peaceful people, and the crowd had to be closer to 374 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: a million than tens of thousands or one hundred of thousand. 375 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 1: It was. It was just absolutely crazy. But I got 376 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: robbed of my moment to really make a peaceful protest 377 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: by whatever actors that came in. And when I say actors, 378 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: I do not mean that they were acting. I'm not 379 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: saying any of that conspiracy stuff. I'm just saying that 380 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: whatever personnel were doing whatever actions. Because on the west 381 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: side of the Capitol, towards the White House, there was 382 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: a bunch of people on the balconies so on and 383 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: so forth, and there was you know, like somemoke grades 384 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: And as we were washed walking down, I hear flashbags 385 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: and I was like, what the heck is going on? 386 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 1: And it was a little bit chaotic. Now, some people 387 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: in the crowd were kind of trying to motivate some 388 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: people on um, you know, I told my son, we're 389 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: not doing any of that, and we're standing back here, 390 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 1: and other people were you know, I saw some people 391 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: on the crowd earlier, you know, they had like tactical 392 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: gloves on, and they go, oh, were you prior service now? 393 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: And I'm like, I thought it was just kind of 394 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: odd with the way some people were dressed and looking 395 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: at it. In hindsight, it seemed a little bit weird 396 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,239 Speaker 1: to me. But when you say, do you mean it 397 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: didn't seem authentic or it didn't seem in keeping with 398 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: a tea party type protest. What do you mean, I weird? 399 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: They seemed out of place. Okay, well connected dots are 400 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: you suggesting? Because in Nick Ersey's film, he has footage 401 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: of folks who show up who are not part of 402 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: the the you know, sort of Trump crowd, and they 403 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 1: show up in their gear and then they change into 404 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 1: Trump attire in the bushes and they're angry that they're 405 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: being filmed. He has footage of the guy that is 406 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: accused of being an FBI operative who's trying to get 407 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: people to storm the gates. He's there for those two days. 408 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: There's John ear O'Sullivan who goes by Jaden X, who's 409 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: a former BLM member. There are lots of ANTIFA folks 410 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: who were there. Is that what you mean by weird? 411 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: I would say out of place? And I don't know 412 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: who their association was with. But you don't trust that 413 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: they were authentic Trump supporters. Affirmative, Yes, I believe that 414 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: because the authentic Trump supporters there, they were very smiling. 415 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: We took a walk around the you know a lot 416 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 1: of people went around and looked at the World War 417 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: Two Memorial, went down to the Lincoln Memorial to electing Pond. 418 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: I mean DC is a wonderful place to visit. If 419 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: it's not fenced off. Um, you can see a lot 420 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: of monuments. And my son had the opportunity to go 421 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: see those things in people were polite and kind that 422 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 1: were there just as I was. And you say, he's 423 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: the first time voter. Uh, he's twenty now, this was 424 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: his first presidential and uh. And what did he think? Uh? Well, 425 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: he thought, you know, what the heck is going on? 426 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 1: And I don't know. I think he thought that certain 427 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: actions couldn't be ignored. But I said, this is a 428 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: little bit some of it was a little bit out 429 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: of control. And I said, all those people up there 430 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 1: that are hanging out and uh, up on the on 431 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 1: the west side balcony of the Capitol. I said, those 432 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: people are going to get arrested. That's just a bad move. Well, 433 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: but I'm not sure who put them up to that. 434 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: Let me say this, Joe, I think you're a great 435 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: dad for taking your son at a moment like that 436 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 1: to be a part of history. And I am sorry 437 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: that some people besmirched that memory. But I think you'll 438 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: look back in time and be glad you did it. 439 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: Thank you for your service to this country.

With the passing of an 446 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: absolute legend of a Navy seal. He seemed to me 447 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: to be a good choice to comment on that. Marcus 448 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: is like Jocko will Link and a few other guys, 449 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: one of the people who in the Navy seal community. 450 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: A lot of those guys all tend to know each other, 451 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: and he could put into perspective what the passing of 452 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: this man of Vietnam veteran, a founder of Seal Team six, 453 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: a founder of Red Cell, the Rogue Warrior demo Dick 454 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: they called him Richard Marchinko.

You look at the news stories, headline after headline. 457 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: United Airlines canceled to forced to cancel thousands of flights 458 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: over the Christmas weekend because of staffing shortages. Other airlines 459 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: forced to cancel flight after flight after flight because of 460 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: staffing shortages. You know what the staffing shortages. It's not 461 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: people with COVID, it's people who refuse the vaccine mandate. 462 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: So the airlines were given this mandate and now they 463 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: You know, you don't just go grab a pilot. This 464 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: isn't a waiter at a restaurant. This isn't just digging 465 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: a ditch. It's a highly sophisticated skill. Go back and 466 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: watch Sully land those folks on the Hudson and save 467 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: those lives. I can't do it, and you can't either, 468 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: And don't tell me I'm that you have your pilot's 469 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: license because you can fly a little twin engine I'm 470 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: talking about. These are big planes and there are very 471 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: few people in the world that can do this, and 472 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: we can't afford to lose them, just as we can't 473 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: afford to lose our marines who were being we're watching 474 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: being kicked out. You know how much it costs in 475 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: actual dollars to train somebody to be a marine And 476 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: for us to say, well, if you won't get this, 477 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: this jab it's not even a vaccine. It's not even 478 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: a vaccine. If you won't get this JAB, then then 479 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna kick you out. Do you know how much 480 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: money we spend recruiting television ads, NFL promotions, recruiters. You 481 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: ever looked at the numbers of how many recruiters took 482 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: their own lives when the when the Afghan War was 483 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: in full swing. I think, well, I don't don't get 484 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: me lying. I want to say it was one a week, 485 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: but I could be wrong, because you go into high 486 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: schools and you take these these fair haired boys, these 487 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: these young kids, out of their neighborhoods, out of their 488 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: high school and you send them off and they end 489 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: up dead. That is a tough burden for somebody to bear, 490 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: and it's something that recruiters have had a lot of 491 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: difficulty with. You're trying to convince somebody that has the 492 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: world ahead of them to make the huge sacrifice to 493 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: give up everything and go and serve our country in 494 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: a wartime situation. And we get a young man that 495 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: far along in the process or woman not far along 496 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: in the process, and we kick them out over this JAB. 497 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: We're doing it to nurses, all the healthcare workers who 498 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: refused to get the JAB at least thirteen states now 499 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: face hospital worker shortages from people who refuse to get 500 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: the vaccine, and now we're kicking them out, and now 501 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: they're having to bring in the National Garden in New York. 502 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: Over this, we have Marcus Latrelle on the line, lone survivor, 503 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: My honor, sir, how are you brother with having him? Man? 504 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: How are you Mary? Marcus? Yeah? You got me tell 505 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: me who Richard Marchinko was put into perspective, this man 506 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: that I've read about. All right, So in our community, 507 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: imagine in every community, whether it's football, wrestling, the sporting event, 508 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: there's always there's there's a handful of them in there's 509 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: a lot of great ones, but then there's a handful 510 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: of them in them when you even when the great 511 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: wind say their name, they're like, oh yeah, yeah, I 512 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: knew that dude. And when we were kids because he 513 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: was a Vietnam guy. So when the Seals were enveloped 514 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: from the UDT Frogman into transitioning to full fledged Navy Seals, 515 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: that that middle integration part. They took the best of 516 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: the best from all of those platforms, put them together 517 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: and created the kind of outline of what we're what 518 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: we formed into today. When you go ahead, I'm sorry, 519 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: my go ahead. When you wrote Lone Survivor, that was 520 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: a wind. That was the first window for a lot 521 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: of folks into what exactly the Navy Seals are and 522 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: what you go through. You told me one time that 523 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: every every Navy Seal dies for a moment during training. 524 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: I don't I really didn't grasp what you go through. 525 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: So there was a time for the Navy Seals that 526 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: this guy had to come up through the ranks. In fact, 527 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: he signed up for the for the Marines but didn't 528 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: have his diploma. They kick him out and he goes 529 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: into the Navy. This is one of the guys that 530 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: is the reason we have in Navy Seals, right, Yes, 531 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: correct that that's absolutely correct. So um and you you 532 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: said that a great way when um pay titles and 533 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: and and kind of what you know about the Navy 534 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: and the Navy Seal teams and just look at him 535 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: as an individual adventurer. I mean, what the United States 536 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: has created in the Navy Seal Teams and what what 537 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: has developed itself into is absolutely amazing, especially looking at 538 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: it from my perspective of being on the outside of 539 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: it now looking back in at the guys and what 540 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: they're capable of, and talking about a UM. You want 541 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: to see a perfect example of like actually holding onto 542 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: a rag bag, you know, rag tag bunch of guys, 543 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: like giving them a chance to do something what they're 544 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: actually good at and capable at and training at. Uh. 545 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: It was that square he ran into it. A lot 546 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: of people are familiar with UM, like still Team six, 547 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: well that there was a group before that he was 548 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,359 Speaker 1: on the He developed that and that's what actually turned 549 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 1: into Seal Team six. And to backing up even further, 550 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: you said that a lot of people are aware of 551 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: what I went through, and that brought them into the 552 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: Seal teams or made them aware. It was the same 553 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: thing he did that for me. My father actually brought 554 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 1: in to my attention Rogue Warrior when that sucker came out. 555 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: I remember reading that and every time about having you 556 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: got to be able to bench five hundred pounds, you 557 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: got to carry your own way and do this many 558 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 1: pull ups. I can't even do one pull up. I 559 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: remember that, and I was like, there's no way I 560 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: could make it into that program. And I started training 561 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: for it to see if I could do that, and uh, 562 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: which eventually I did. It's unbelievable. Well, no matter how 563 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: far down the rung you are, just remember that it 564 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: always starts with one one push up or one pull 565 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: up and he uh, then he got to do so 566 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 1: many things throughout his career that that opened up all 567 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 1: military wide to our security platforms. I mean, that's basically 568 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: what he did. He would go in and test our 569 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: own security against ourselves and whip our own ass. And 570 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: how great is that job? When you when he would 571 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: come around, he would just drop that knowledge. Of course, 572 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,839 Speaker 1: he always he never talked to us straight up because 573 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: we were new guys. If you're one class in the 574 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: field teams, if you've graduated one buds class under another guy, 575 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,879 Speaker 1: you're still weak. Budge is easier, shut your mouth. You're 576 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,720 Speaker 1: a new guy. That kind of thing I got about 577 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: forty five seconds, Marcus. If you had met him, you'd 578 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 1: seen him a week ago, and y'all already gathering, let's say, 579 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: Navy seal gathering, how would you how would you address him? 580 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: I'll call him certain that were talking about. But then 581 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: I would also tell him, thank you for everything you did, 582 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,800 Speaker 1: thank you for creating the path. And I was allowed 583 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 1: to to walk through and be a part of us, 584 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 1: and for never giving up on yourself and for the 585 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 1: teams and the good times and then the bad, and 586 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,800 Speaker 1: showing America that doesn't matter where you come from or 587 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: what you think you're capable of. This family can get 588 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,959 Speaker 1: you through anything. And we've designed programs in our own 589 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 1: in our own community to allow that. And he was 590 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: a pioneer and we're gonna miss him and we'll celebrate, 591 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 1: I mean, so, you know, until there's no more.
