1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: Good warning. You're about to enter the arena and join

2
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: the Battle to Save.

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 2: America with your host, Sean Parnell. Hey, everybody, welcome to

4
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 2: Battleground Live. It's great to have you here. Just to

5
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: quick heads up in a bit. See these white headphones.

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: Have got these new white headphones in their air pods.

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: I don't really like doing the show with them, but

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: I'm doing the show with them today obviously. So if

9
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 2: you see me doing like this most of the show,

10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: it's because I'm wearing headphones that I don't like. And yes,

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,319
Speaker 2: I know Brock is probably watching and saying, Sean, why

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: are you even drawing attention to this? Why are you

13
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: talking about this? Just wear the big headphones. Look, let

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: me show you something. I don't like these. They make

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: me look like an alien. See these right here. I'm

16
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: not a disc jockey or radio host. These kind of

17
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: make me look weird, don't you think? But at any rate,

18
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: I am move out and draw on fire with the

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: air pods today.

20
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: But thank you all for joining Battleground Live.

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: It has been an absolute crazy day for me here

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: in Fort Parnell.

23
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: All good things, but I want.

24
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: To tell you a quick personal story about you know,

25
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 2: while people get loaded on into rumble that this is

26
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: just something that's been on my mind today. It's always

27
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: around this time of year that I think about this,

28
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: this one particular engagement that we had in Afghanistan late

29
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: towards the tail end of our deployment. Now we were

30
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 2: supposed to be in Afghanistan for a year and ended

31
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 2: up being sixteen months. Many of you all know this,

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: so many of these stories already, especially if you've been

33
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: listening to me for a while. But towards the tail

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: end of our deployment, we got pounded with rockets every

35
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: single day. I mean when I say thousands of indirect

36
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: fire engagements, this is exactly what I mean, right, And

37
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: towards the tail end, not only were we getting hit

38
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: with one oh seven millimeter rockets, we were getting hit

39
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: with one twenty two milimeters rockets. And one twenty two

40
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: milimeter rockets are this big. I mean they're well over

41
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: six feet long, and when they they hit different the

42
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: explosions are much much bigger, much more devastating than one

43
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: oh seven And they can be fired from a max

44
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: effective range, a max effective distance or something like. I

45
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: mean they were firing them from Pakistan at us, and

46
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: they were landing accurately, but something like fifty or sixty

47
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: clicks away, so colomb clicks is a kilometer. So for

48
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: months we endured these rocket attacks on our base. And

49
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: the reason why that was just living through that was

50
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 2: just hell, was because it's like you get accustomed to

51
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 2: dealing with direct fire. You get accustomed to people shooting

52
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: at you in combat.

53
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: It's just your way of life.

54
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: And with direct fire, at least you know where your

55
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 2: enemy is shooting at you from, so that you can

56
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: aim your rifle back and shoot and flank or do

57
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: some sort of maneuver to fight back. The thing with

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: indirect fire is that it gets fired at you and

59
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: doesn't matter where you are. You'd be eating in the

60
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 2: chow hall, you could be sleeping, you could be pulling

61
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: guard duty at the front gate. If it lands in

62
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: your vicinity, you're dead. And if you get caught in

63
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,839
Speaker 2: an indirect fire battery or a barrage and you're trying

64
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: to take cover, it's almost like a form of psychological torture.

65
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: In fact, that's why you.

66
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: Know the Germans, or the Germans in World War Two,

67
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: or even the Americans to a certain extent, that's why

68
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: we put whistles in the bombs that we drop from

69
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: airplanes to ramp up the psychological effects that it has

70
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: on people. Well, indirect fire is almost like a form

71
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: of psychological torture where you're just it's just sitting there

72
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: waiting to die, accepting your faith, not knowing when it's

73
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: going to come or if it's going to come. And

74
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: it was a really tough way to live towards the

75
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: and the reason why I'm telling you this is like

76
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: always in November, I'm reminded of this. There's something in

77
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: the air that smells like Afghanistan. Maybe it's that brisk,

78
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: brisk air going into winter. It's getting a little bit colder.

79
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, but something about November triggers all of

80
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 2: these memories in me. And hey, look, this is a

81
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: daily show, so we're on this journey together, so you're

82
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: going to obviously you're gonna hear about some of these stories.

83
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 2: And this tethers the politics a little bit too. As

84
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: I get on with the show, I'll tell you why.

85
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 2: But there came a point in time during those barrages

86
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 2: where my battalion commander said, you know what we're done.

87
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: We're not taking this anymore. We're going on offense. We're

88
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: changing our tactics, we're evolving, and we're going to do

89
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: a battalion mission. A battalion's like eight hundred plus soldiers,

90
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: but we're going to do a battalion mission. And we

91
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 2: are going to march from this firebase that's five six

92
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: kilometers away. We're going to march almost on a line

93
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: from this point all through the mountainous border region between

94
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: Afghanistan and Pakistan, and we're going to finish on the

95
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: border of Pakistan. And we're going to find and kill

96
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 2: these these a holes who are firing these rockets at

97
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: us and trying to kill Americans. And so when we

98
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: got that mission, we were like, holy smokes, this is

99
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: kind of a big deal. But we were also kind

100
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: of like, oh, we don't want to do it because

101
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: at this point, this is the tail end of the deployment.

102
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: Nobody wants to be the last person killed at the

103
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: tail end of a deployment, and you especially don't want

104
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: to assume that much tactical risk at the tail end

105
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 2: of the deployment. Now, the other part of it, why

106
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 2: so many of Michaeltoon were kind of like, uh, not

107
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 2: that we didn't want to kill the enemy, because we did.

108
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: We wanted to stop these attacks. But we also knew

109
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: that through twelve months of the deployment, my platoon tended

110
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 2: to be what they call the main effort, or we

111
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: advanced at the tip of the spear on almost all things.

112
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: So we knew that when this mission came down that

113
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: we would almost I got to get rid of these

114
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 2: head phones, may give me one second.

115
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: We knew that.

116
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: When this mission came down, we would be almost assuredly,

117
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: we'd be almost assuredly the main effort, you know, leading

118
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: leading the entire battalion.

119
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: On this mission.

120
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 2: So we were kind of like bummed out about that,

121
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 2: and we didn't really want to do it. Now battalion

122
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: came down an en mass again, eight hundred soldiers that

123
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: were spread all up and down the border in my region,

124
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: and we started the mission, and we started this place,

125
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: this opening, this this like big opening to this wadi

126
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: system that ran right from where we were outside our

127
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 2: base all the way to the border. And a wadi

128
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: system in Afghanistan, it's not a paved road at all.

129
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: It's just a.

130
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 2: Dirt road with mountains on either side of it. And

131
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: when I talk about these mountains. I mean these are

132
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 2: the subset of the Hindukush Mountains. These places, this is

133
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: no joke, you know, places like this in Afghanistan, I

134
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 2: mean the subset of the Himalayas. And so we get

135
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 2: on this mission and we get right to the mall

136
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 2: of route and Zam and this Waddi system and Michaeltoon

137
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: pulls up front front main effort. All the way right

138
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 2: and out of nowhere we see five enemy fighters. And

139
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: by the way, when when you get ambushed by the enemy,

140
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: it's very hard to see them. I mean oftentimes you

141
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: don't see them until they're shooting at you. So these

142
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: guys come out from this Waddi system. They come out

143
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: from this Waddy system. They're dressed all in black. They've

144
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 2: got their Ak forty sevens in the air, and they

145
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: got these criss crossed AK forty seven seven six two

146
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: machine gun belts that they're wearing on their chests like

147
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: their John Rambo or something like that. They start making

148
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: all these noises, holding up their rifles, screaming, yelling, trying

149
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: to get our attention. Well as at Michaeltuon we saw

150
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 2: them very very clearly and along on this mission with

151
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: us was the Afghan National Army. They were just they

152
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: patrolled dismounted on top of the mountains and our job

153
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: was to handle the low ground with our armored vehicles

154
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: and crew serve machine guns and things like that.

155
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: And so.

156
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: Immediately we're thinking like, wow, gosh, something isn't right here,

157
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: like the enemy almost never shows themselves. And as we're

158
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: thinking through this, the enemy dashed right down this waddy system,

159
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: this path that they that they were, that they emerged

160
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: from again, and they were gone just as fast as

161
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: they arrived. And on comms on my radio, I could

162
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 2: hear the Afghan National Army on top of the hills

163
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: all around us freaking out. And they gave chase immediately,

164
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: and the Marines that were embedded with them were like no, no.

165
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: No, stop, stop stop. It was too late.

166
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: There's a language barrier there. The Afghan National Army was

167
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 2: on the move, and folks, I gotta tell you, they

168
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: get they get baited into this ambush the likes of

169
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,599
Speaker 2: which we had not seen before. I mean when I

170
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 2: talk about evolving tactics, like here you have my battalion commander, Hey,

171
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: we got to evolve tactics because I'm tired of getting

172
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: pounded with these rockets, so we're going after these a holes. Well,

173
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: the enemy had anticipated that and then involved tactics as well,

174
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: and instead of surprising us with an ambush, they baited

175
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: us into them. Although we as Americans didn't fall into

176
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 2: that track. The Afghan National Army on tops of the

177
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: hills with the with the Marine Corps embedded with them

178
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 2: that were teaching them, coaching them, training them, they did

179
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 2: not the Marines, but the Afghan National Army did. So

180
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: of course, the Marines have to charge in with him,

181
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: and I have to tell you, folks, they get pinned

182
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: down almost immediately by a superior enemy force.

183
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: And some of these Marines that were.

184
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 2: There with them, and one Marine that was a lieutenant

185
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: counterpart with me that I talked to this guy all

186
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 2: the time. He took a bullet right to the pelvis

187
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 2: and it was just right at the point where his

188
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: upper leg reached his pelvis. His pelvis and he had

189
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: there was fears that his for moral artery wasn't severed,

190
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: but it was nick and it was beginning to retract

191
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: up up into the pelvis, and as it retracted, the

192
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: artery itself will tear, and if you're for moral artery

193
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 2: tears while you're on the battlefield in the remote place

194
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 2: like we were, you're dead in a couple of minutes.

195
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: And it's just it's a death sentence.

196
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: And so there was a sense of urgency among Americans

197
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: among us on the ground to get to the Americans. Obviously,

198
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 2: obviously we wanted to help the Afghan National Army, but

199
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: we also wanted to get to our Americans who were

200
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: shot up, badly, trapped and cut off.

201
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: And we didn't really know what to do.

202
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: My platoons on the on the very tip of the spear,

203
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 2: and I immediately get on the radio to our battalion

204
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: commander who was just right behind us in that tactical

205
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 2: calling behind us, and I said, you know, you know

206
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 2: Cat six.

207
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: This is Blackhawk three six. I was Outlaw six.

208
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 2: My platoon's name was Outlaw Platoon, but my call sign

209
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: in Afghanistan was black Hawk three six.

210
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: And I said, you know, Cat six, this is Blackhawks

211
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: three six.

212
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: Send us in. We got to go get these marines.

213
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 2: He's like, you want to go in there? And I

214
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: said absolutely. And I looked at all of my soldiers

215
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 2: who were in in the humbies with me. And I'll

216
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 2: keep in mind, this is the tail end of the deployment.

217
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 2: And remember what I said to you that nobody wants

218
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 2: to be the last person killed on the deployment. That's

219
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: all almost over. And to a man, every single person

220
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 2: in my platoon was like, yeah, let's go. So we

221
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: sat it up into our trucks and we drove headlong

222
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,599
Speaker 2: into the kill zone. And when I say it was

223
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: a kill zone, it was like, really nothing we had

224
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: experienced before.

225
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: It was sophisticated.

226
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 2: The enemy had picked a spot where we drove into

227
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 2: and there were cliffs on either side of us, so

228
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: we couldn't take our machine guns and traversed them high

229
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 2: enough to actually hit the enemy targets at the top

230
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: of the hill. You talk about evolving their tactics, Well,

231
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: we had pounded the enemy for almost a year with

232
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: our crew serve machine guns on top of our humbies,

233
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: and they evolved their tactics to prevent us from using

234
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: those crew serve machine guns. So again, you couldn't take

235
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 2: a fifty caliber machine gun and push it down low

236
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: enough to get the barrel oriented high enough to hit

237
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: the guys that were shooting us up on top of

238
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: the hill. They completely neutralized that threat from us, and

239
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: so our gunners had to abandon the cruiser weapons and

240
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 2: use rifles. And as people were popping out of the turret,

241
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 2: I remember right in front of me, I had one

242
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 2: a sniper that was attached to Micheltoon that was firing

243
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: from the turret and was shooting these targets on top

244
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: of the hill. He had taken a bullet to the

245
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 2: head right in the helmet and dropped down in the turret.

246
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 2: And the next guy in my truck, Saint Jean, it's

247
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: from Haiti. We called him the Hate Hammer. He pops

248
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 2: up in the turret and I'm watching his truck's right

249
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 2: in front of me, right and I'm on the radio

250
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: trying to coordinate all this, and he's up in the

251
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 2: turret firing his rifle and in a tree right right

252
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: out in the corner of my arm I see in

253
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 2: a tree right next to the window of my truck.

254
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: Because again there's a clip with these crazy trees growing out.

255
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 2: It's like Afghanistan's almost like it's almost like prehistoric times,

256
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 2: like honest to God, like that, Afghanistan like one of

257
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 2: the best ways that I could explain. It is like

258
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: the Flintstones. All the Afghan fighters meet the jetsons, ESS's

259
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: Americans with all the technology and body armor. Sometimes I

260
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: think that we must have looked like aliens to some

261
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: of these people. But there was a fighter hanging in

262
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: a tree right to the right of my truck and

263
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 2: he he was a sniper who was shooting at gunners

264
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: in the turret. And just as I realized that, Saint

265
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: Jean in the truck in front of me realized it

266
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: as well. He leveled his rifle at this sniper. The

267
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: sniper leveled his rifle with Saint Jean. They both fired

268
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 2: at the same time. Saint Jean's bullet hit him in

269
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: the stomach. Sniper topples out of the tree right next

270
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: to my truck. Bullet hit Saint Geane in the head

271
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: and he falls into the turret. And I mean, all

272
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 2: the while, we're all of my trucks are just getting

273
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: hammered in this kill zone, and you know, windows are shattering.

274
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: We had bulletproof glass, thankfully, but I mean it was

275
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 2: just chaos, and eventually we took so many casualties trying

276
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: to find the Marines. I had to break contact, leave

277
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 2: the kill zone. Uh treat our casualties and then go

278
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 2: back in. So we broke contact. We get out. Saint Gene,

279
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 2: listen to this, folks, you want to you wanna. This

280
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: is why I believe in a higher power, because I

281
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: do feel like in many ways there was an angel

282
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: looking over our shoulder in so many ways.

283
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: In Afghanistan, a.

284
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: Bullet had penetrated John Saint Jean's helmet, went through his helmet,

285
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: went through his skin right here, hit his skull and

286
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: skirt around his skull, and exited the back his skull.

287
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: The helmet had slowed the bullet enough that his skull

288
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: stopped it, and when it hit his skull at ricocheted

289
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 2: around the side of it, said underneath his skin the

290
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 2: whole time, and an exit one.

291
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: I mean he survived.

292
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: He was back on the battlefield in two days, and

293
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: God was with us every step of the way. I'm

294
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 2: telling you, and this I think so another reason why

295
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: they say there are no atheists in foxholes. But so

296
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: we get out of there and Sergeant Hall comes up

297
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 2: to me. He said, sir, you're not going to be

298
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: able to get them out of their dismounted They're they're

299
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: cut off they're up at the top of those mountains.

300
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: Send my squad in to go evacuate them. I'm I'm

301
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: a you know, a pathfinder. In other words, a pathfinder

302
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: is somebody who's qualified to land a helicopter in very

303
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 2: hostile regions. And so he's like, send me in there.

304
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: I'll get him out. As you want to go back

305
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: in there. He said, yes, I do. So we sent

306
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: him in there, and I just see Sergeant Hall saunter

307
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 2: up this hill with his squad and two three hours

308
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 2: later we have helicopters on station. They they're within two

309
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: or three hours we had helicopters on station. They had

310
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 2: put in a jungle penetrator to pull them. My jungle

311
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: penetrators like a big cord from a helicopter load, you know,

312
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: load the casualty on this litter, and the helicopter pulls

313
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 2: the quarterback up startin. Hall coordinated all this and all

314
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: the while. The reason why it took so long is

315
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: that the enemy was shooting at our helicopters and shot

316
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: a couple of apaches right in the fuel tank where

317
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: they had to break contact. Apache helicopters had to break

318
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: contact and fly back to base because they were damaged. Well,

319
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: eventually we got a blackbuck in. We got the marine out.

320
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: Sergeant Hall comes down from from this mission. He's just

321
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: like covered from head to toe and like dirt and

322
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: everything else. He's got blood all over him from this

323
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: guy because he had treated. He ended up fighting through

324
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: two different sets of enemy lines to get to this marine.

325
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: When he got to this marine, he administered first daid,

326
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 2: he applied to tourniquet. He had the marine's blood on him.

327
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 2: It was just chaos.

328
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: Comes down.

329
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: He's smoking a cigarette and he said, sir, we got

330
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: the marine out of here. We can continue mission. And

331
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 2: he said, oh yes, sir. He's walking away and he

332
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: turns around. He said, don't even think about putting me

333
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: in for an award for any of that. I don't

334
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: need an award for just doing my job. And that

335
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: has stuck with me, you know. And so Sargeant Hall,

336
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: he was just he was a great guy.

337
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: But he goes.

338
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: So we come come back from Afghanistan after what we

339
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 2: thought was going to be a twelve month deployment turned

340
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: out to be a sixteen month deployment. We finally make

341
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 2: it home, and I mean seriously, so we get extended

342
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 2: the day before we're supposed to come home. We finally

343
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 2: make it home. I was seriously by the grace of

344
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: God alone, we make it home, and no joke. We're

345
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 2: back in the state in state side. Been home for

346
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. We get orders from the Army

347
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: to turn around and go back to Afghanistan in nine months.

348
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: I mean, it's so crazy. So Michaeltoon gets ready to

349
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: go back to Afghanistan. I was wounded and on my

350
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: way out, but I was still the company executive officer,

351
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: and I filled in as company commander and then became

352
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: battalion rear Detachment commander. The story isn't about me, but

353
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: Sergeant Hall becomes a senior leader in Michaeltoon gets promoted

354
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: and everything everything else. Takes the guys back to Afghanistan

355
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: on a second deployment there, and I think in June,

356
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: on June first, two thousand and nine, he was leading

357
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,719
Speaker 2: a patrol to do humanitarian assistants, bringing coloring books, crayons,

358
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 2: food blankets to Afghan families and children and things like that.

359
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 2: Because we built lots of schools, put in wells and

360
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: things like that. We did a good job at that stuff, folks,

361
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 2: But it wasn't our job, okay. Our job as light

362
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 2: infantry was to find, fix, finish the enemy. So Sartain

363
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 2: Hall is out there leading a humanitarian patrol. His up

364
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 2: armored truck hits an improvised explosive device and kills him instantly,

365
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 2: kills a couple of other people in the humby. The

366
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 2: gunner somehow survived, but I think he since passed.

367
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: Away as well.

368
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: And when I talk about foreign policy, when I talk

369
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: about war, whether it's in Israel or Ukraine, this is

370
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: the stuff that's always on my mind. Like I look

371
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 2: back on Afghani stand and I told you in November.

372
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 2: I don't know why. It's just something in the air

373
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 2: that it just I just remember this stuff. But this

374
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 2: is what I'm thinking about. Like when people ask me

375
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 2: was Afghanistan worth? It was it worth Jeff Hall? Absolutely

376
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: freaking not. Is it worth any American who loved me?

377
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. This is where I'm coming from when I

378
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: talk about making sure that the causes America gets entangled

379
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: in are just and worthy, Because you know, Sartin Hall

380
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: was married and had a little girl named Audrey, and

381
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: she was brand new baby when he died, so she

382
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: had grown up without a father. Now I think his

383
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 2: you know, his widow has since remarried and she's happily remarried,

384
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 2: and I'm so glad for that.

385
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: But it's just like that.

386
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: Little girl had to grow up without a father because

387
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 2: of some politician fighting in an endless war, and it

388
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 2: just upsets me. And for some reason in November, I

389
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: thinking about that. But I thought about that story in

390
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 2: the context of the show, because you know, when you're

391
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: fighting in combat, and I know I talk a lot

392
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: about Afghanistan, I talk a lot about combat. Some of

393
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: you are like, oh my god, all this guy talks

394
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 2: about is the military, But you have to understand that

395
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: was a formative experience in my life that sort of

396
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 2: shaped how I see everything. And when life and death

397
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 2: is on the line, it boils things down to very

398
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 2: simple ways.

399
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: You see with unbelievable.

400
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: Clarity when you can you know a decision that you

401
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 2: may and cause people to live or die, and every

402
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 2: days that's, you know, a risk. So talk in the

403
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 2: context of evolving, evolving our strategies, making sure that we're

404
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 2: constantly thinking, making sure that we're constantly looking at what

405
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 2: the enemy does, and changing our tactics. And I've talked

406
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 2: about on the show how desant is hitting below the

407
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 2: belt and saying that, you know, oh, Trump called hesbel

408
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 2: A smart. I can't believe Trump's being nice to Hesbala. Well,

409
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 2: based on what I just told you, wouldn't you say

410
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: Hesbloku is The people that we were fighting were Iranian

411
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 2: trained terrorists. Don't you think that they're pretty damn smart?

412
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 2: Debate American debate Afghan National Army and have Americans scratch

413
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 2: on their head on the battlefield. Some of these people

414
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 2: that we were fighting over there were some of the

415
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 2: best light infantry troops that you could possibly imagine.

416
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: Think about it like this. Your average Hesbala operative or.

417
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 2: Al Qaida operative or Hakani network or Afghan fighter has

418
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: ten years combat experience on your average American private. So

419
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 2: you know, these are people who fought against the Russians

420
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 2: in the eighties and the Afghan Civil War and the

421
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 2: nineties and against Americans and a post nine eleven world.

422
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 2: These people know what they're doing, and Trump was right

423
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: to say that they were smart. And it's a good thing.

424
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 2: You know, you're taught in the military to respect your enemies,

425
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 2: because if you don't, you end up this Like Mike Tyson.

426
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 2: Everyone has a plan till they get hit with the

427
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 2: first punch. The enemy has a vote. And so this

428
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 2: is why you know I talk about Republicans and politics

429
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 2: being like war, just without the bullets. And this is

430
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 2: why I didn't get enough opportunity to talk to you

431
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: all about this yesterday when I showed the Steve Bannon

432
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 2: clip and Republicans starting to focus on a different way

433
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 2: and fight back.

434
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about that here shortly, but I want.

435
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 2: To go over like the bewaring beware of stock platitudes,

436
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 2: I want to cover that Steve Bannon clip that I

437
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 2: showed yesterday. So if you didn't tune in yesterday, it's okay,

438
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna show it again today. So I'm gonna show

439

Speaker 2: you that in a second. But thank you for listening

00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 2: need to have overlapping fields of fire because in these

463
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: trying times, we need to have each other's backs. And

464
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 2: so those those of us who think the same way,

465
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: who believe in an American exceptionalism in our constitution, we

466
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 2: got to have each other sixes. We've got to be

Speaker 2: You know, they tell you you're not supposed to do

476
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 2: on shows long intros like that, But you know, I

477
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 2: I it just is what it is. We're on this

478
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 2: journey together, right, Okay, So let me before before I

479
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 2: jump into Bannon, something caught my eye with Trump. I

480
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: know President Trump to be just a really, really great guy.

481
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: Met him in person, he was super hospitable. He was

482
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 2: unbelievably kind. He really makes you feel like you're there

483
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 2: with him, whether you're talking to him on the phone

484
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 2: or you're meeting with him in person. He looks you

485
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 2: in the eye, he listens, he nods his head now

486
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 2: if he's if he's in an actual meeting with you,

487
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 2: trying to get information out of you or negotiating with you,

488
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 2: he will keep you on your heels the whole time.

489
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 2: Like I'm telling you. When I left that meeting, my

490
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: first meeting with President Trump. I thought to myself, Oh,

491
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: I turned to Melanie, Commander Melanie, and I said, oh

492
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 2: my god, I don't know if this guy likes or

493
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: or hates me. So he was just he keeps you

494
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 2: on your toes. He asks a lot of questions, he

495
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 2: interrupts you at key times. But the media is hell bent,

496
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 2: and we've been exposing here on this show how the

497
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 2: media has been hell bent on, you know, painting Donald

498
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: Trump to be this crazy. He's like Hitler. Oh my god,

499
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 2: He's like Mussolini. He's basically like a dictator.

500
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: He's evil.

501
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 2: Never mind the fact that Joe Biden is the dictator.

502
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 2: Joe Biden is acting like an authoritarian. His doj is

503
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 2: politically persecuting his number one political opponent and trying to

504
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 2: throw him in.

505
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: Jail for life.

506
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 2: Never mind, and all that's going on, and not just

507
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, you know, his children and all of his

508
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 2: allies and January sixth, Grandma's who had the audacity to

509
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 2: walk in the Capitol and walk in between the to

510
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 2: stanchions and ropes, almost as if they were on a

511
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 2: guided tour. I used to throwing those people in jail

512
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 2: for five, six, seven years I mean people who shook

513
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: a fence outside the White House. They're part of the

514
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 2: Proud Boys. I've told you on the show. I don't

515
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 2: even know who the Proud Boys are. But he shakes

516
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 2: a fence and he gets two decades in prison. Where

517
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 2: all of these pro Hamas terrorists are outside the White

518
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 2: House climbing the fences and hanging stuff on the fences

519
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 2: and shaking the fences. Have you seen any of these

520
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 2: assholes getting charged for anything. I mean, clearly, if you're

521
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 2: watching this show, you're concerned about the direction of our country.

522
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 2: You're concerned about what the Democrats are doing, how they're

523
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: weaponizing the federal government against the American people. You're concerned

524
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 2: about perhaps your grandchildren or your children not inheriting a

525
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 2: country that is as rich with opportunity as all of

526
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 2: us have known. I mean, I mean, that's why I'm

527
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 2: doing this show. You know, it's like radio free America,

528
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 2: right Like it feels like we're behind enemy lines all

529
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 2: the time anymore, and so will the media is out

530
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 2: there desperately trying to pay Donald Trump as a dictator.

531
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you that that could not be

532
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 2: further from the truth. Not just on the record, right,

533
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 2: I mean, you look at his record. He's the greatest

534
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 2: peacetime president of my lifetime, and the things that he

535
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 2: was able to get done in four short years in

536
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 2: the White House despite withering opposition from the Democrats and

537
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: the media. And I mean, when I say opposition, I'm

538
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 2: just not talking about liberal media bias. I'm talking about

539
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 2: full out Trump derangement syndrome motivated hoaxes.

540
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: We all know what they are.

541
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 2: Both impeachments were hoaxes, you know, like the Muller investigation hoax,

542
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 2: January sixth Committee hoax, the Russia Pepe tape collusion stuff hoax.

543
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 2: All this stuff was made up Hunter Biden lab all

544
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 2: the fifty one intelligence officials that signed you know, that

545
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 2: document saying that Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Have

546
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 2: any of those people been held accountable?

547
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: No? Have any of those people lost their security clearances?

548
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 2: No? I mean obviously we're all seeing this, right, Like,

549
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 2: we see how dangerous this is. We see how dangerous

550
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 2: it's getting for all of us who just simply love

551
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,239
Speaker 2: this country. And so I wanted to show you this

552
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:21,959
Speaker 2: early on in the show. I say, early on. We're

553
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 2: halfway through already I need more than an hour, but

554
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 2: I wanted to show you this early on. Do we

555
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: have a Trump's statement from yeah, like this is here

556
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 2: on the screen. Certainly you can read it all for yourself,

557
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 2: but I want to read it because I just think

558
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 2: it's so indicative.

559
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: It gives you a window into his mind.

560
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 2: And he says, My great sister mary Anne passed away

561
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 2: yesterday at the age of eighty six. A truly beautiful woman,

562
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 2: tall and elegant, with a presence like no other. She

563
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: was also a tremendous student intellect and judge in charge

564
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 2: of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit,

565
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 2: just below the US Supreme Court. Her life was largely

566
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 2: problem for you, perfect in all caps until I made

567
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 2: it until I and now just I want you to

568
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: think about this. The radical accountability here something that is

569
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 2: distinctly lacking on the Democrats side.

570
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: They don't take accountability for anything.

571
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: But here President Trump is saying her life was perfect

572
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 2: until I made it difficult for her when I decided

573
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 2: to run for a president. The fake news and others

574
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 2: went after her mercilessly, and because of the fact that

575
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 2: she felt it was inappropriate due to her position to

576
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 2: defend herself. It just never stopped. While tough and strong,

577
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 2: she was made to suffer in those years from twenty

578
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: sixteen until a retirement. I will never forget the many

579
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 2: times people will come up to me and say, your

580
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 2: sister was the smartest person on the court. I was

581
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 2: always honored by that, but understood exactly what they meant.

582
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: They were right. She was a great judge and a

583
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: great sister. She will be truly missed.

584
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 2: That is the President Trump that I know that I've

585
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: had experience with. There's this video today that Laura Trump

586
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 2: posted of President Trump on Grandparents' Day. Now, this is

587
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: a man that's being The Biden administration is trying to

588
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: throw this guy in prison for the rest of his life,

589
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 2: throw his sons in prison. Latisia James in New York

590
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 2: is trying to destroy Trump's legacy, trying to the government

591
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 2: is trying to essentially steal his fortune, his company mill

592
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 2: hundreds of millions of dollars from Trump for no reason,

593
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 2: for a victimous crime, fraud that was perpetrated on no one.

594
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: They're trying to go after his friends, his allies, his family,

595
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: his children. But here's Trump on the check out. This

596
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 2: video of Trump on Grandparents' Day walking his little granddaughter

597
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 2: into school.

598
00:29:41,040 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: Do we have it, David, look at this right.

599
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, that's real. That's real. You ever watch Biden

600
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 2: or some of these dems with kids. Biden's like chewing

601
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,239
Speaker 2: on kids, like biting their heads, sniffing them, like a

602
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 2: freaking creep like talking about kid. Remember corn pop Corn

603
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 2: Pop is a bad dude. And he used to be

604
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 2: a lifeguard and rub his hairy legs in the pool.

605
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 2: And he has blonde hair and his hair stands up.

606
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 2: I mean, remember all that creepy stuff. I mean, what

607
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 2: you saw there from Trump is aside that the American

608
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 2: people never see, and aside that the media never shows

609
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 2: you because it doesn't fit with the narrative. Like so

610
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: many other things that, by the way, that are the truth,

611
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 2: it doesn't fit with their narratives, so you never see it.

612
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 2: And I wanted to show you that because because they

613
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 2: never show you this side of him. Yeah, Trump is

614
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 2: full of bombas I know. Believe me, Trump says what

615
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 2: he thinks. Does he always say the right thing? Probably not.

616
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: Could he maybe soften the things that he says? Yeah maybe,

617
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 2: But guess what, it doesn't bother me at all. I

618
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 2: was talking with my dad today, you know about the

619
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 2: people out there, They're like, I just wish Trump wouldn't tweet,

620
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 2: or I just wish he wouldn't say this. I'm so

621
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 2: over that. I am not electing this guy to date

622
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 2: my daughter. I'm electing him to strike fear into the

623
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 2: hearts of America's enemies. I'm electing him to make America strong,

624
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 2: to build up our military, to honor our police, to

625
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 2: close the border. There have been ten million people that

626
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 2: have crossed the border since Joe Biden has been in office.

627
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: Ten million.

628
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 2: And that's just an estimate the people that we've encountered.

629
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 2: Who the hell knows who made it in here that

630
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 2: we're not tracking. I mean under Trump, for example, in

631
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 2: four years during Trump's presidency, like four hundred and thirty

632
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 2: five thousand people.

633
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: Now it's something like ten million. Yeah.

634
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 2: I just want President Trump to fix this country because

635
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: I think he's the only person that can do it.

636
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 2: But you're always told he's a dictator, he's evil, he's terrible.

637
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 2: He's going to weaponize the government against his political opponents.

638
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 2: Not only is that an absurd lie, it's insulting on

639
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 2: a lot of different levels, but he didn't do it

640
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 2: during his four years in the White House. In fact,

641
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 2: much to the chagran of many conservatives, he basically said, yeah,

642
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not going to prosecute Hillary Clinton because

643
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 2: I don't think that that would be good for the country.

644
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 2: I mean, hindsight being twenty twenty, maybe he should have,

645
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 2: you know, lock her up before the Democrats and high

646
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 2: ranking Democrats lock all of us up.

647
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: And I think that's what they're so afraid of, folks.

648
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: I think they're so afraid of Trump getting back in

649
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 2: the White House and making good on some making holding

650
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 2: people accountable, making good on the promises that he made

651
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 2: from twenty sixteen that the Democrats are pulling out all

652
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 2: the stops to prevent that. You know, Trump didn't do

653
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 2: those things in twenty sixteen. Again, Trump was the greatest

654
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 2: peace time president of my lifetime, greatest economy this country

655
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 2: has ever had in my lifetime. I mean, even talk

656
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 2: to people who lived through Reagan, and people say that

657
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 2: the economy under Trump was was just as good, if

658
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 2: not better, you know, and I often wonder, I've talked

659
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 2: about it on the show that you know, it's a

660
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 2: very different time today than it was in the eighties,

661
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 2: and people talk about how Ronald Reagan was deeply loved

662
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 2: and by the way I grew up watching Reagan's speeches.

663
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 2: I was captivated by Ronald Reagan's speeches, especially the super

664
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 2: cuts on YouTube where they're you know, superimposed with like

665
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 2: patriotic images or military stuff. That stuff gets me riled up.

666
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 2: Psych It gets me pumped up. But I often wonder

667
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 2: would Trump have been as popular as Reagan in the

668
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 2: eight if he were president in the eighties, as opposed today,

669
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 2: where the media is wholesale in the tank for the

670
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 2: radical Democrats, and I mean completely in the tank for

671
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: the radical Democrats to the point where they're not even

672
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 2: coming anywhere close to pushing truth. They're not, They're just lying.

673
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 2: They're just a trillion dollars superpack for the Democrats that

674
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 2: do the bidding of Joe Biden and high.

675
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: Ranking Democrat officials. That's it. Like, if you're a member

676
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: of the media and you're willing to do that, you're good.

677
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: You're in. We have a.

678
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:29,720
Speaker 2: Media that's wholesale. It's wholesale in on access. And because

679
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: they're obsessed with access, they are afraid to hold any

680
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 2: Democrats accountable for anything, and so I wanted to show

681
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,680

00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 2: is insane for.

709
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 2: So Hunter Biden is subpoenaing Donald Trump is going to

710
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 2: try to subpoena Donald Trump in this gun charge case,

711
00:35:54,719 --> 00:36:00,240
Speaker 2: saying that the prosecution was politically motivated. Can you believe

712
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 2: that the prosecution of Hunter Biden for a federal gun

713
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 2: charge that he himself admits he was stoned out of

714
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 2: his gord when he illegally got the gun and filled

715
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 2: out the paperwork to illegally obtain a firearm win as

716
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 2: a felon, it was illegal to do so.

717
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: He is now trying to blame that on Trump.

718
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 2: This is just so bizarre that he's claiming he's a

719
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 2: target of a politically driven prosecution and the charges are

720
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 2: unfairly motivated, politically motivated by Donald Trump because Donald Trump

721
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 2: tried to hold him accountable and the Biden family accountable

722
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 2: for the ridiculous actions while he was in.

723
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: The White House.

724
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: So this, I mean, seriously, it's So this is so egregious,

725
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 2: This is so ridiculous for so many reasons, because again,

726
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 2: the Democrats are just brazen.

727
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: With this stuff, aren't they.

728
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 2: Here you have Hunter Biden, who is a man that

729
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 2: likely slept with underage girls, that trafficked, you know, like

730
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 2: prostitutes across state lines, which is essentially human trafficking and

731
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 2: is also a crime. Was sniffing, sniffing cocaine off of

732
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 2: the butts of hookers.

733
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,280
Speaker 1: For God's sake, there's an entire laptop.

734
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 2: Of him doing unbelievably illegal things that we know now

735
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 2: is not Russian disinformation. We know that Hunter Biden took

736
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 2: tens of millions of dollars from the Communist Chinese, from

737
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 2: the from Russian oligarchs, from Ukrainian energy officials, despite not

738
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 2: having any energy experience whatsoever. We know that Hunter Biden,

739
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 2: we know these things. These are facts, These are indisputable facts, folks.

740
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 2: We know that Hunter Biden didn't pay millions of dollars

741
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 2: in his taxes. Now, folks, if you or I didn't

742
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 2: pay millions of dollars in our taxes, do you think

743
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 2: that we would have been shown any leaning and see whatsoever?

744
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 2: Do you think the federal government would have given a

745
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 2: damn about any of us.

746
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely not, of course not. They would have thrown us.

747
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,959
Speaker 2: They've thrown us in jail, locked us up, and thrown

748
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 2: away the key. But if you're Hunter Biden, you're giving

749
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 2: a pass. Why because you're the president's son. So who

750
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 2: he truly believes this. I mean, I'm not even sure

751
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 2: that he believes it. Maybe, I mean he has to right,

752
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 2: but he truly believes that he's the target and not

753
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 2: the beneficiary of preferential treatment. Because again, if you or

754
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 2: I didn't pay millions of dollars in our federal taxes,

755
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 2: around our taxes, we would be in jail. But if

756
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 2: you're the president's son, if you're Hunter Biden, you get

757
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 2: away with it scott free. I mean, it's just unbelievably ridiculous.

758
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 2: How this is the guy. Hunter Biden is a microcosm

759
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,959
Speaker 2: of all that's wrong with the American left. He does

760
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 2: unbelievable things. He sets up these scenarios that cause him pain,

761
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 2: and then he pretends to be the victim, even though

762
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 2: he was the one that caused these problems for himself

763
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 2: with his bad behavior, and because he refuses to take

764
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 2: accountability for any of it. He just prefers instead to

765
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 2: blame Republicans and his dad's presidence, so he never gets.

766
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 1: Blamed for any of it.

767
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 2: Isn't that a nice grift that he has going on there?

768
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 2: So I just look, it's a strange thing. We're going

769
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 2: to keep our eye on it for you all, But God,

770
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 2: we like the world that we live in, Folks, just

771
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 2: gets more bizarre every day, doesn't it. Okay, So look, look,

772
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 2: I want to talk a little bit about bewaring of

773
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 2: stock platitudes. And you saw the video of Steve Bannon

774
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 2: yesterday freaking out on these journally showtime journalists.

775
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: I wanted it.

776
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 2: We're we got only got twenty minutes left in the show,

777
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 2: but I want to show it to you very quickly

778
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,439
Speaker 2: and just recap this stuff because I want to talk

779
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 2: specifically about what he does in this video that I

780
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 2: didn't get enough opportunity to talk about the end of

781
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 2: the show yesterday.

782
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: So go and roll this tape with Steve Bannon.

783
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 3: Don Trum stood up the invention.

784
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 1: And said I am your voice, and now Trump says,

785
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: I am your retribution. I am your retribution.

786
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 3: Backward looking, revengeful, grievance driven you know that the way

787
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,720
Speaker 3: people win in America is to talk about the future.

788
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 3: They talk about the future.

789
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm voting.

790
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 3: Sick of people say elections about the future that is

791
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 3: total by the voters, is about the lived experience of

792
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 3: the voters, because the lived experience of their life sucks.

793
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 3: And the reason that sucks is a fucking unfeeling uniparty

794
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 3: in Washington, d C. That says, go, fuck yourself, you're

795
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 3: nothing but serfs, and we don't give a shit about you.

796
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 2: Okay, so when I a lot of f bombs there,

797
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 2: But Steve Bannon is exactly right what he's doing.

798
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,720
Speaker 1: He is questioning what.

799
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 2: I like to call a stock platitude in politics. You know,

800
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 2: a stock platitude is is something like, well, we need

801
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 2: to defend we need to kill terrorists there so that

802
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 2: they don't kill us here. That platitude is not based

803
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 2: on any intel leigence.

804
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: There's no data that backs that up.

805
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 2: It's just a stock platitude rolled out by someone in

806
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 2: the intelligence community, parroted by American politicians who are who

807
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 2: don't dig any deeper into an issue and try to

808
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 2: use we need to kill them there so that they

809
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,959
Speaker 2: don't attack us here. As a pretext for forever war,

810
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 2: for invading countries, and for all cards on the table.

811
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm honest with you on this program. I believe in that.

812
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 2: In my twenties, at the height of the war in Afghanistan,

813
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, we're killing all these terrorists here because we

814
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,479
Speaker 2: don't want them in America. And maybe there is they're

815
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 2: a small smidgen of truth to that. Maybe maybe, but

816
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,760
Speaker 2: it's not justification to invade a country. And you see

817
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 2: presidential candidates talk about, namely Nikki Haley. I'm going to

818
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 2: talk about her in a second. They trod out these

819
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 2: stock platitudes with no information, no intelligence, no data to

820
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 2: back them up, and people on our party just believe them.

821
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: It's like that.

822
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 2: It's like if you tell a lie over and over

823
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 2: again and enough times in a public way, it becomes truth. Well,

824
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 2: what Steve Bannon is doing there and what I want

825
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 2: you all to start doing as well, and think like

826
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 2: this if you're not already doing it. Picking apart stock

827
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 2: platitudes that you hear politicians regurgitate all the time, one

828
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,760
Speaker 2: of which was like right after the twenty twenty election,

829
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,280
Speaker 2: it was this, voters don't want to relitigate the twenty

830
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 2: twenty election. They don't want to talk about that. They

831
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,280
Speaker 2: want to talk about they want to talk about other issues.

832
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 2: There's so many issues that affect them. They don't want

833
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 2: to talk about that. But the reality is, what I

834
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 2: learn from having, you know, run a campaign myself, is

835
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 2: that voters do care about the twenty twenty election. Voters

836
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 2: do want to talk about it because voters see it

837
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 2: as a two part issue. One, if a wrong was

838
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 2: done and that wrong is not righted, then criminals get

839
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 2: away with it and don't get HOWD accountable.

840
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: And that's fundamentally anti American.

841
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 2: And Two, if we don't fix what happened in twenty twenty,

842
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 2: or look at it at least at a minimum, learn

843
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 2: what they did through open and honest dialogue, it will

844
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 2: just happen again and again and again. But you hurt

845
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 2: Republican candidates in Republican incumbent all across this country.

846
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: South people don't.

847
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 2: Want to talk about twenty twenty, but they do. Or

848
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 2: how about this one? This is a real like all

849
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 2: of these conventional stock platitude phrases that most of us

850
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 2: have grown up within politics, Or how about this the

851
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 2: party not holding the Oval office better does worse in

852
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 2: midterm or the party Okay, I always mess this up.

853
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 2: The party not in power, not in the oval office

854
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 2: does better in midterms. The party not in power that

855
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 2: does not hold the oval office does better in midterms. So,

856
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 2: in other words, Biden's in the White House during the

857
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,879
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two cycle, theoretically Republicans would do better at

858
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 2: the ballot box. Right, that's the conventional wisdom. That's the

859
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 2: stock platitude. And all of these consultants who also do

860
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 2: all of our polling, they think this way. They don't

861
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 2: evolve the way that they think. So you see how

862
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 2: this is all coming full circle now, right, there was

863
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 2: a method to this madness, I promise, but all that's

864
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 2: thrown out the window. It's like people get used to

865
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 2: trotting out these phrases and relying on them forever, will

866
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 2: not thinking why they're believing these things in the first place,

867
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 2: you know, And so why is this stock platitude wrong? Well,

868
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 2: mail in ballots talk in specific swing states. It doesn't

869
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 2: matter which one you're in. In Pennsylvania, the no excuse

870
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 2: mail in ballot law gives people an automatic opt in

871
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 2: the Democrats during the highest voter turnout in history. In

872
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty election, more people turned out for twenty

873
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 2: twenty than ever before in American history. The Democrats rolled

874
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 2: out an automatic opt in option for mail in ballots

875
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 2: during that cycle, which means when all these people were

876
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 2: turning out, they were getting people to automatically opt in

877
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 2: to receive a mail in ballot for every single election

878
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 2: moving forward for the rest of their lives, thereby giving

879
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 2: the Democrats a floor of turner. All they got to

880
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 2: do is call these people. They got them on an

881
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 2: Excel spreadsheet. Oh look, this person automatically opted in. Why

882
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 2: didn't you turn in your ballot?

883
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: Sir? Why didn't turn in your ballot? Ma'am? Are you

884
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: gonna mail in your ballot today? That's all they got

885
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: to do.

886
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 2: They don't have to knock any doors, they don't have

887
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 2: to run any commercials. They have a floor and they

888
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 2: build on that floor. So anytime you see consultants talking

889
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 2: about and say look it's a or these political pundits

890
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 2: or any of these these mouth breathers in the media

891
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 2: say well it's an off cycle election, Republicans should do better.

892
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 2: Given the Democrats ruin the wide No, it's wrong, it's

893
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 2: not true, and Republicans are still trying to figure out

894
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 2: what the hell happened in this last election cycle. They

895
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 2: don't know because they haven't evolved the way that they think.

896
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 2: The reason why Steve Bannon has such a huge following

897
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,720
Speaker 2: it is because he is ahead of the power curve

898
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 2: on a lot of these things we talk about why

899
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 2: the Republicans continue to lose. I mean, the Democrats have

900
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if you all know this, but they've

901
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 2: rolled out artificial intelligence with regards to capturing data when

902
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 2: it comes to voters, where artificial intelligence can look at

903
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 2: a set of voter registration data, right, or Hey, look,

904
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania has you know x number of hunters or x

905
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 2: number of people who are who are visiting Free Palestine sites.

906
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: Well these hunters, they could be Republican voters.

907
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 2: These people that go to Free Palestine sites, Well, heck,

908
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 2: these could be Democrat voters. They have AI already that

909
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 2: is synthesizing that data and figuring out a way to

910
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 2: get to those voters to register them. Republicans are still

911
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 2: like knocking on doors and handing out leaflets. If we

912
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 2: don't evolve the way that we think we die. We

913
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 2: didn't involve in combat we were dead. Literally, if we

914
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 2: don't evolve here in America and evolve our thinking and

915
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 2: learn to fight back, Republicans fight back, how to being

916
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 2: the party of gentlemen, losers.

917
00:46:58,480 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: But if we don't.

918
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 2: Evolve, we die. America dies. And that's something that I'm

919
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 2: not willing. I'm not willing to allow happen here in

920
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 2: this country. We've got to change the way that we think.

921
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 2: So I don't want to, like give you even less

922
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 2: confidence than you have right now. Because Donald Trump can

923
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 2: win this and talk about it all the time on

924
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 2: the show.

925
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: He can win.

926
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 2: In fact, he's polling above the margin of fraud in

927
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 2: many of these swing states. Yeah, the Democrats are gonna cheap,

928
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 2: but they can only do it so much. But President

929
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 2: Biden met with She today. Got twelve minutes left in

930
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 2: the program. Oh my gosh, it's flying by. Biden met

931
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 2: with She today of the communist Chinese and he came

932
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 2: to San Francisco and received almost a heroes welcome. Just

933
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 2: go and check this out. Watch this one thing wrong video.

934
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 2: It's a g gets a parade?

935
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: Do we have it?

936
00:47:54,080 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 2: Maybe get used to seeing that, folks, if Democrats continue

937
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 2: to win, I mean, listen, that's San Francisco. That's an

938
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 2: American town that by the way, Gavin Newsom, think about this.

939
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom cleaned up San Francisco for the for president.

940
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 2: She's arrival. Now, this is a man that, in twenty

941
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,800
Speaker 2: twenty three is like Hitler was in the nineteen forties.

942
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 2: This is a man that puts tens of thousands, millions

943
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 2: of people in his own country and concentration camps and

944
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 2: tortures them, rapes them, kills them. He's evil, diametrically opposed

945
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 2: to our way of life. And Gavin Newsom and the

946
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 2: Democrat Party are giving this man a hero's welcome, a

947
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 2: parade in San Francisco where Chinese flags are waving, And

948
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 2: it's like, why can you ever think of that something

949
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 2: like that happening under Donald Trump.

950
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: When you think you would ever allow that? Absolutely not.

951
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: It's insulting. I mean, think about it.

952
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 2: If you're a taxpayer in San Francisco, I mean, why

953
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 2: you would be a Republican still living in San Francisco

954
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 2: or even an independent.

955
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: I don't know.

956
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 2: That city is clearly lost, But think about this. Gavin

957
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 2: Newsom cleaned up the city for a brutal dictator. But

958
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 2: didn't really give a damn about cleaning up the city

959
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 2: for the taxpayers. What the hell's going on with that?

960
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 2: Everything in our world is upside down, and it's all

961
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 2: made possible because of the weakness of Joe Biden and

962
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 2: President She met with Joe Biden today and the meeting

963
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 2: was a complete and total embarrassment for this country because

964
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 2: all this video came out. I'm not gonna bore you

965
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 2: with it, because really it's just by and sitting in

966
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 2: a meeting with President She with a blank stare, blank

967
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 2: stare on his face, the thousand yards stare smiling off

968
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 2: into the distance. One wonders if he even knows what

969
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 2: the hell the conversation is all about. I can't imagine

970
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 2: that that strikes fear into the heart of President She,

971
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 2: who is our greatest geopolitical foe, China, the communist Chinese,

972
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 2: is the greatest threat that we've faced as a nation, probably.

973
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 1: In a very, very, very long time.

974
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 2: And today President She got to look across the table

975
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 2: at an animated corpse, you know, clearly a mouth breather,

976
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 2: but an animated corpse of a human being across the

977
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,720
Speaker 2: table from him, who couldn't even string together a coherent

978
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 2: sentence in those meetings.

979
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:45,320
Speaker 1: If you don't believe me, go look up the videos

980
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: on your own.

981
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 2: Frankly, not just an embarrassment for the Democrat Party, but

982
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 2: they're an embarrassment for all of our country. And I

983
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 2: gotta believe it simply does nothing but embolden President She

984
00:50:55,920 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 2: to and definitely invade Taiwan before the end of Joe

985
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 2: Biden's presidency.

986
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:03,879
Speaker 1: Bank on that that's gonna happen in the next year.

987
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't. I hope I'm wrong, but I

988
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 1: think that I think that I'm right.

989
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:13,359
Speaker 2: Okay, I gotta get to Nicky Haley. Here she came

990
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 2: up with probably I'm not even exaggerating, and I she

991
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 2: came up with one of the worst ideas in the

992
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 2: history of the world about dosing basically everybody on social media,

993
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 2: saying that you have to here, you have to you

994
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 2: have to everybody needs to be verified, names verified. Now,

995
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:35,280
Speaker 2: think about this, NICKI Haley, if if she were alive

996
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 2: during the time of our founders silence do good. You know,

997
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 2: Benjamin Franklin's pen name, Benjamin Franklin wouldn't have been able

998
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,760
Speaker 2: to post, you know, like any of the anonymous articles

999
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 2: written under pseudonyms. I mean, our founders would be rolling

1000
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 2: over in their graves that a mainstream Republican presidential candidate

1001
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 2: is advocating for stuff like this. But so this just

1002
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:58,439
Speaker 2: I talk all the time on the show about being

1003
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 2: ready for the moment as a report publican, and I

1004
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 2: look through that lens when I evaluate Republican candidates. Is

1005
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 2: this a guy or gal that truly gets it, that

1006
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 2: understands where we are as a country, that the weaponization

1007
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 2: of the federal government is the greatest threat that we

1008
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 2: as American space today. Because it's not a problem that

1009
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 2: will self correct, you know, because bureaucracies, if you've ever

1010
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 2: worked for one, you know that they circle the wagons

1011
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 2: to protect themselves, right they like, for example, the VA

1012
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 2: secret weight list scandal. When we exposed that scandal, like

1013
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 2: the VA denied ever having a secret weight list while

1014
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 2: veterans were killing themselves waiting for medical care.

1015
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 1: The VA denied it.

1016
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 2: All their bureaucrats, all their elected officials, circle their wagons

1017
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 2: around around the bureaucracy. Bureaucracies don't hold themselves accountable.

1018
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 1: They don't.

1019
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 2: So this unstopped this freight train that's rolling down the

1020
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 2: railroad tracks. It's unstoppable. The freight train of the weaponization

1021
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 2: of the federal government against.

1022
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: The American people. It will not self correct. It's a

1023
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: behemoth that will keep on rolling.

1024
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 2: And so her talking about making everybody public. I mean,

1025
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 2: I just saw this crazy tweet from Clay Travis talking

1026
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 2: about how he paid millions of dollars of taxes over

1027
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 2: the last couple of years and the Biden and he's

1028
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 2: audited multiple times now that he's an out conservative and

1029
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 2: he's a radio host now and he's not just a

1030
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:31,240
Speaker 2: sports guy. And you know, the Biden administration, despite Clay Travis,

1031
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,479
Speaker 2: you know, spending tens of probably over ten million dollars

1032
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 2: in taxes over the last several years, they sent him

1033
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 2: a bill for thirty four dollars and said that he underpaid.

1034
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like absolutely ridiculous. But if the.

1035
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 2: Federal government learns who all of us are now, the

1036
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 2: hope is lost for me. I mean, everyone knows who

1037
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 2: I am, which is why most Democrats in Pennsylvania are

1038
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 2: gunning for me twenty four hours of day, seven days

1039
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 2: a week, not literally, at least I hope not. But

1040
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 2: I mean many people who just want to you say

1041
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 2: you say you're listening to show at work and you're

1042
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 2: you got a pseudonym in the live chat, or you

1043
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 2: want to write an article and you want to remain anonymous,

1044
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,800
Speaker 2: or you're you're operating under a pen name on social media.

1045
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: We live in a time, folks.

1046
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 2: Where you could get fired for your political beliefs, you

1047
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 2: could get canceled, Your kid's life could get destroyed.

1048
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 1: We saw this kid, eighth grade kid yesterday. We talked

1049
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: about it yesterday.

1050
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 2: Kid wear an eye black was a ban from all

1051
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 2: sporting events an eighth grader because I said he was

1052
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 2: wearing blackface.

1053
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: This is the country that we live in.

1054
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,800
Speaker 2: And we've got Nikki Haley out there talking about doxing

1055
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 2: conservatives when we're up against the behemoth of the radical left,

1056
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 2: a weaponized Department of Justice, and the behemoth that is

1057
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 2: a federal government held bent on throwing conservatives in jail.

1058
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:46,399
Speaker 1: And she thinks this is a good idea, I.

1059
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 2: Mean, honest to God, folks, and and and all the

1060
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 2: terrible ideas that I've heard on a campaign. I mean,

1061
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 2: I guess, I mean this one has to take the cake.

1062
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 2: But I guess I will say that Conservatives like it

1063
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:00,839
Speaker 2: was so funny that when she talked, but not only

1064
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 2: Nicky Haley said this once on Fox News, and then

1065
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 2: she said it again on The Ruthless Podcast, which is

1066
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 2: a podcast with Josh Holmes and a bunch of guys

1067
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 2: to give inside her stuff, inside her Baseball, inside the Beltway.

1068
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 2: They're good guys, but she doubled doubled down in this

1069
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 2: ridiculous idea on their show too. So I guess I

1070
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 2: take some solace in the fact that almost every conservative

1071
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 2: universally on Twitter at the exact same time she said it,

1072
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 2: was like, Ah, this is a terrible idea.

1073
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 1: It's contrary to the founding of our country.

1074
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 2: All of the founders would have been thrown in prison

1075
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 2: if you actually got your way and did this stuff.

1076
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,360
Speaker 2: So I guess, I mean, let's see what happens with

1077
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:38,240
Speaker 2: Nicky Haley. I mean it should scare you a little

1078
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 2: bit that, you know, even though Trump is up like

1079
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 2: fifty points over her, she is beating DeSantis now and

1080
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,279
Speaker 2: now is I think overall in second place in the race.

1081
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens with that. So anyway, look,

1082
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 2: we're at the end of the show. I sort of

1083
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 2: talked most of the time, but I'm so grateful to

1084
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:56,640

00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 2: a good conservative guy. Well he just caved and put

1094
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 2: forth a continuing resolution that doesn't have any spending cuts

1095
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 2: at all, temporary take us to January, but no spending

1096
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:38,400
