1
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: Warning Europe down to enter the arena and join the

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: Battle to.

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 2: Save America with your host Sean Parnell.

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 1: Good evening, America, Welcome to Battleground Live. This is the

5
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: show where we kick ass, and we take names, and

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: we lockhorns with the radical left. We never quit, we

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: never surrender. From sea to Shining Sea and everybody in between.

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: Welcome Patriots on this Wednesday. It's a new year, folks.

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like we got off to a

10
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: little bit of a rocky start here on the New Year.

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: And before I get into this terrorist attack and the

12
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: horrific loss of life in Louisiana and what to expect

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: moving forward, because I have some I have some thoughts

14
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: on all of this, and to me, it's it's it's

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: worried me all day for a number of different reasons.

16
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into that and a lot more on

17
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: the show today, so stay right there. A couple of

18
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: admin items. Savage Rich Barris. You know Wednesdays are usually

19
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: Savage Wednesdays. They have been for the better part of

20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: wow geez, over a year now. Rich today normally he

21
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: cooks this big dinner for his family and then they

22
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: have that dinner tonight, and so he couldn't make it today,

23
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: but we will get him on the show as fast

24
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: as possible to make up for it. Tomorrow. He's traveling

25
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: to see his family. So you know, this week's kind

26
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: of a funky week for sure, with Christmas last week

27
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: and New Year's on the weekdays on the weekday, this

28
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: week kind of a crazy day. Still holiday season for

29
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people. So we'll get through it. Thinks

30
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: will be more normal next week. Also, this Friday, there's

31
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: not going to be a show this Friday, and I

32
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: hate to do that because I hate missing shows. And

33
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: I know it's kind of crazy because I just had

34
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: off for the first week ever on the show, but

35
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: my first really week off in the last four years,

36
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: to spend some time with the family last week over

37
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: the Christmas holiday, and so to take another day off

38
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: on Friday, it's not really a day off, but to

39
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: not do a show on Friday really bothers me. But

40
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: we got invited, both Commander and Melanie and I got

41
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: invited to go down to the swearing in for the

42
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: United States Senate. We're going to go and be present

43
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: for our friends down there who won this last election cycle.

44
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: So heading down there on Friday at some point to

45
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: celebrate the Republican victory and Republicans taking back the Senate

46
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: down there, and then really next week I think we

47
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: get back in the full swing of things on the

48
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: show where we really get back to normal, because you know,

49
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: we'll get back into the swing of things with Savage Rich,

50
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: We'll get back into the swing of things with with

51
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: Brian Dean. Right although with Brian normally we have right

52
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: nights on Friday, he's trying to shuffle things around for

53
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: Thursday for us. See if he could do his weekly

54
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: appearance and talk to all of you guys on Thursday

55
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: instead of Friday. We'll see what happens with all that. Again,

56
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: kind of a crazy week with the holidays, so for everybody,

57
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: not just not just here at Fort Parnell. So we'll

58
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: see if we can get him. If we can't, we'll

59
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: get back into the swing of things, you know, full

60
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: court press on all things saving this country and preserving

61
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: America in our constitution for one hundred years. That's start

62
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: that again, really full court press next week. Also, I

63
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: want to thank hammer Hammer has been with us for

64
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: a long time. I think he Hammerhead twenty twenty has

65
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: been boy. I think he's an OG member of the

66
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: Battle grew been with us since I think probably the

67
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: first show. I can't quite remember. So many of you

68
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: are OG members of the Battle Crew, but the show

69
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: is growing, so hammered. Thanks for the Rumble rant tip

70
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: my friend. Happy New Year. I hope you and your

71
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: family and your loved ones have a great year. And two, RM,

72
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: thank you for becoming a monthly supporter, which is cool,

73
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: very very cool. This show well, first of all, to

74
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: download the Rumble app is completely free. But this show

75
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: is free, and so I think you get you know,

76
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: this is a podcast, right, so we're a little less

77
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: formal around here than cable news, but I think you

78
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: get information on this show. And there are others like

79
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: Dan Nunn and of course Wendy Bell and the King

80
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: Dan Bongino, they all have podcasts right here on Rumble.

81
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:52,239
Speaker 1: But I think you get information far faster on these shows,

82
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 1: on these podcasts, and you'll ever get on traditional news media.

83
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: And we can talk about things that the traditional news

84
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: media cannot. By the way, I'm talking about left or

85
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: right doesn't matter. I can talk about how the COVID

86
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: vaccine was poison I can talk about how masks didn't work.

87
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: I can talk about the twenty twenty election. I can

88
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: talk about these things without getting banned because Rumble is

89
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: a free speech platform, and you know, when it's just

90
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: really just me, I'm like I said yesterday, when it

91
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: comes to this show, Brock taught me the ropes. But

92
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: now I'm a one man band. You know. I build

93
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: the thumbnails, I post the live stream on Rumble, I

94
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: set up the simulcast, I pull all the sound. Sounds

95
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: like a lot. I mean it is a lot do

96
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: the show research, but like because I do this on

97
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: my own every day, and I do the show research

98
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: on my own every day, I read all the articles,

99
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: go through the news, try to tap into the news cycle.

100
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: I feel like we are far better than some producer who's,

101
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, maybe working for a news outlet that's not

102
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: necessarily hosting a show, or maybe I just feel like

103
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: we're faster and so this show is free. Becoming a

104
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: monthly subscriber really helps us here at Fort Parnell keep

105
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: the show independent. Obviously, you know, having sponsors helps keeps

106
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: the show independent, but also monthly subscribers as well as

107
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: we continue to build out our locals platform and The

108
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: last thing I'll say before we jump into this horrific

109
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: terrorist attack and do a quick talk about my patriots.

110
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: Supply here real quick right at the top is just

111
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: smashing that like button. We've made. The we've made despite

112
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: it being a holiday week, we've made the leaderboard every

113
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: single day. Again, that's because of you. Also, tell your

114
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: family and your friends to subscribe to Battle Around Live

115
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: really helps the show grow. I think we're I think

116
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: we're like one hundred and fifty subscribers followers away from

117
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: twenty thousand, which is pretty damn awesome and really a

118
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: testament to what a kick ass audience you all are.

119
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: So thank you for all of that. Another quick admin item.

120
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 1: Sorry I'm adding things to the list, but somebody asked

121
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: me about a fifth Eric Steele book, So I've got five.

122
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: I've got five books out, so maybe somebody all know this,

123
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: maybe you don't, but my first book is a nonfiction

124
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: book called Out Leave Platoon. It's just about my platoon's

125
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: time in Afghanistan. That book, back in twenty twelve, became

126
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: a bestseller here in America and now it's out in

127
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: ten countries all around the world, which is crazy because

128
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: it really is just a quintessential American story, and for

129
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: an American a military story to be successful in other

130
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: countries is kind of amazing and a blessing all wrapped

131
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: into one. But that's my nonfiction. It came out twelve

132
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: years ago, six years after I wrote out La Platoon nonfiction,

133
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: I wrote my first fiction book. Practice for that six

134
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: years trying to figure out the writing style with fiction.

135
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: My first fiction book came out, and there are four

136
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: of those. They're the Eric the Eric Steele franchise of

137
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: political military thrillers. I think they're pretty damn I think

138
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: you know. It took me a long time to figure

139
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: out how to write the stories. The first one's The

140
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: first one's decent. It was my first crack at fiction.

141
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: But I think the second in the fourth and the

142
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: fifth or the third and the fourth are really good.

143
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm working on the fifth book now. So there was

144
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: some lag time between the fourth book, which, by the way,

145
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: I know if you've read it ends on a cliffhanger.

146
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: There's some lag time between the fourth book and the

147
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: fifth book. And that's because after January sixth, and after

148
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: me running for Congress in twenty twenty, publisher didn't renew

149
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: any of my any of my fiction contracts because they

150
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: quote didn't like my political trajectory. And it's not even

151
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: necessarily being a Republican, it's being a Trump Republican is

152
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: really what did it. And that's fine, whatever shit happens.

153
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: So it took a little bit try to get back

154
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: on our feet and figure out a way head, and

155
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: I just said, you know, to hell with it. I'm

156
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: doing it without a publisher. I owe that to my readers.

157
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: It's kind of ridiculous that they didn't renew the contracts,

158
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: given that the sales track record was so strong of

159
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: those books. They were all best sellers in one way

160
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: at another. But the fifth Eric Steele book twenty thousand

161
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: words into that book right now, and I'm still trying

162
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: to determine if it will be the end to the

163
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: franchise or maybe just an end to the overall arc

164
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: between one and four. But that's happening now. Hope to

165
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: have it out by the end of the year. I'm

166
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: only telling folks that because a couple people or somebody

167
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: asked about it in the live chat prior to the show,

168
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: so I've figured I might as well just talk about

169
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: it right here at the top okay, So, folks, one

170
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: of the things that I learned when I was in

171
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: combat was that there are people in this world who

172
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: wish to do us harm or want to kill us

173
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: and kill our the memor of our family, who don't

174
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: even know us. They want to kill us simply for

175
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: just existing and being an American. And that's just a fact.

176
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: One of the things that kind of it was very

177
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: shocking to realize this as a young twenty something. It

178
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: was the first time I got shot at. I mean,

179
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: it was exhilarating in a weird way because I'd never

180
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: been shot at before. But I remember getting back on

181
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: the base after that and say to myself, holy shit,

182
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: somebody wants to kill me. Somebody wants me dead. If

183
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: that bullet would have hit me, I'd be dead. And

184
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: whoever that person is, they don't even know me, they've

185
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: never met me, they have no idea what I stand for.

186
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: You know. It's just really kind of a crazy thing.

187
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: And that was a real life lesson that I picked

188
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: up very quickly in Afghanis. And you remember that story

189
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: I told you yesterday. It's kind of crazy. It's kind

190
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: of crazy that the story I'm telling today is actually

191
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: associated with the one yesterday. But the story I told

192
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: you yesterday about how the Afghan National Army got baited

193
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: into the ambush and marine got shot in the pelvis,

194
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: it was really all about Jeff Hall and his heroism

195
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: and a celebration of his life and legacy, and talked

196
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: about the regrets I had and getting into an argument

197
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: with him before he died. Bothers me to this day

198
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: thinking about it a lot over the holiday and going

199
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: into the new year. But what also happened as we

200
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: were trying to get to that wounded marine prior to

201
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: Jeff Hall assaulting through enemy lines, we went in, we

202
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: get trapped in this kill zone. And I told you

203
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: yesterday they had two soldiers that were shot in the head. Well,

204
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: one soldier he was up on a fifty caliber machine

205
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: gun in the truck. He was in a truck right

206
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,599
Speaker 1: in front of me. And you got to understand the

207
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: cliffs on either side of this canyon. I mean, you

208
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: open your door, reach out your arm, you're touching a

209
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: steep cliff that just ram straight up right. So when

210
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: you're in a machine gun on the top of a truck,

211
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: you can traverse to the left and see my little

212
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: swivel chairt actually works out a well. You can traverse

213
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: to the left, you can traverse to the right, you

214
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: can traverse down right, and the machine gun goes up,

215
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: you know so, but you can't if the steep incline

216
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: of the hill is so high. You can only traverse

217
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: the machine gun up so much. And we had enemy

218
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: all throughout dispersed through those cliffs. So machine gunners are

219
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: having a real hard time hitting the targets of the

220
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: enemy who were really hanging firing at us from a

221
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: really high elevation. So John Saint Gene is aka the

222
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: Haitian Hammer in my platoon, is manning a machine gun

223
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: right in front of me, and I watch him just

224
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: get shot in the head, and I'm like, oh my god,

225
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: Like I thought Saint Gene was dead. He gets shot

226
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: in the head, falls down into his truck. Some next

227
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: man up jumps on the gun and keeps going. But

228
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: I saw the guy that shot him looking out the

229
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: driver's side window of my truck. I saw this guy,

230
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: this this insurgent really was an Al Qaeda operative sitting

231
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: right in this tree, I mean really not twenty feet

232
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: from me. And what had happened was he fired at

233
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: John Saint Jean, and Saint Jean fired that fifty cow

234
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: at him at the exact same time. Saint Jean's fifty

235
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: caliber bullet hit him right in the stomach. And the

236
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: only reason that round didn't tear the guy in half

237
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: is because he was so close and the velocity of

238
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: the bullet just went through very easily. But he hit

239
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: Saint Jean in the head at the same time. And

240
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: this guy tumbles out of the tree and lands right

241
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: next to my truck, and I mean right next to

242
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: my truck, right outside the driver's side window. And I'm

243
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: looking through this window, through this dirt and crusted glass,

244
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: right in the eyes of this insurgent, say insurgent, but

245
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: of this terrorist who's looking right back at me with

246
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: a gaping stomach when here clearly he's not going to

247
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: make it. Knew that he was going to die. But

248
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: looking in his eyes, let me tell you something, folks,

249
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: this dude was filled with a hatred, enrage that I

250
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: did not think was possible. I mean, his eyes were

251
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: black like a shark's eyes, Like felt like I was

252
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: looking to eyes that had no soul. He's completely consumed

253
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: with hate, and even in his dying moments. You could

254
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: tell he wanted me and everybody in my truck and

255
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: everybody that I loved dead, period end of story, full stop.

256
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: Just could see it. I could sense it coming off

257
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: of him. And one of my soldiers, a guy named

258
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: Tim Stalter who since passed away as well, a real hero,

259
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: real hero, such a tragedy that he was lost so young,

260
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: sitting in the seat behind me, and he had a

261
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: shotgun and he goes, let me put this guy out

262
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: of his misery. And I'm paraphrasing, and he's like, sir,

263
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: let me kill him. Let me take this guy out.

264
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: And he wasn't armed, and so I said, no, come on, sir,

265
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: please let me kill this guy. Let me let me.

266
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: Let me kill this guy. He would kill us. And

267
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, Stalter, damn it, no, sit down, you're not

268
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: doing that. And I'm telling you, it's just strange that

269
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: I had so much clarity in these types of chaotic moments.

270
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: And I can only attribute this to a God thing. Again.

271
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: I know, maybe people that are watching and listening to

272
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: the show, maybe maybe maybe God, maybe maybe you believe

273
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: something different. But for me, I just just that clarity

274
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: to me, the clarity of moral purpose. I just feel

275
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: like it was just like I just knew I didn't

276
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: want him to kill this terrorist who was already dead.

277
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: He just hadn't died yet and have that death. Had

278
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: Stalter killing this guy be on my soldier's conscience for

279
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: the rest of his life, probably wouldn't have mattered to

280
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: him in the moment, but I can guarant damn tee

281
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: you that that would have played over and over and

282
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: over again Instalter's head throughout the course of his life.

283
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: And I didn't want that to happen. That disgusting dirtbag

284
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: terrorist was not worth it, like my soldiers. To me,

285
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: I'll just tell you right now, their lives were a

286
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: hell of a lot more valuable than a thousand of

287
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: those terrorists, and I don't want him to have that

288
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: on his conscience. So I told him no. But again

289
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: the lesson, Even even when these terrorists were dead, dying

290
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: on their deathbed, the hatred that I saw in their

291
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: eyes was like nothing that I have ever seen before.

292
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: And so there are people in this world that wish

293
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: to do us harm that it makes no sense. There

294
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: are people in this world that want to that want

295
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: to kill you. It might be disconcerting, but it's the

296
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: truth that that want to kill you and kill your kids,

297
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: and just want to kill you because of all the

298
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: things you have, just because you're an American doesn't give

299
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: a damn whether you're a Republican or Democrat. By God,

300
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: what I'm telling you, folks is the truth. And I'm

301
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: afraid that throughout the course of my life. I was

302
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: talking to a friend of mine today, I am I

303
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: am afraid that this country has gotten soft and complacent.

304
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: And we've talked about this on my show many times.

305
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: Just the idea of complacency, and complacency kills, certainly in combat.

306
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: You know, soldier gets on an objective or gets gets

307
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: up on an observation post. That big heavy helmet's uncomfortable.

308
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: He unbuckles it, takes it off, and that's the exact

309
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: moment he gets hit in the head, or takes off

310
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: his gloves that are supposed to be fire retardant, gets

311
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 1: hit with a rock of repel grenade in the side

312
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 1: of the truck. Shrapnel peppers his arms, maybe the gloves protected,

313
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: takes off his eye protection, shrapnel hits them in the eye,

314
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: goes blind in an eye. I always talk to my

315
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: soldiers about how complacency kills and how you can't downgrading

316
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: your uniform because you think you're safe for the moment

317
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: in combat when in reality you're surrounded by the enemy.

318
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: Is a form of complacency, and it can lead to terrible,

319
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: terrible things. And in many ways, I feel like I

320
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: feel like our country has gotten to a point where

321
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: our elected leaders don't understand the world that we live in.

322
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: I don't think that our elected leaders, and I'm not

323
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: talking about all of them, but the vast majority of them, especially,

324
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: let me tell you, especially the Democrats, they simply just

325
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: don't They just just don't get it. They see the

326
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: world how they'd like it to be instead of how

327
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: it actually is, and that puts us all in very

328
00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: real danger. Look no further than the Biden administrations insane

329
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: open borders policy that ushered in well over ten point

330
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: five million. Now, I said over ten point five million

331
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: illegal alien invaders on X today in a post, and

332
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: a young woman was taking me to task saying it

333
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: was way over ten ten point five million, And she's right,

334
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: you have your point is well taken. I know it

335
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: is well over ten point five million, but let's just

336
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: use ten point five million. For math's sake, If point

337
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: zero one of those people who have come into this

338
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: country illegally wish to do ash harm, wish to kill Americans,

339
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: wish to kill you and your family just because you're

340
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: an American. That's a thousand people. We don't know their names,

341
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: we don't know where they live, we don't know where

342
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: what their plans are. They've come into America, and we

343
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 1: have no ability to track them. And the reality is

344
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: is we probably have far more than a thousand terrorists

345
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: in this country that wished to do as harm. And

346
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: this is the asymmetric insanity that is our open border.

347
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: This is it just presents a danger to this country

348
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: into American citizens that it's just difficult to describe in words.

349
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: Way back in twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen, can't quite

350
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: remember the year, but it was. It was. It was

351
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: back then before I ran for anything, before I ran

352
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: for office, before I was doing anything like this. I

353
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: went on Fox News and I said that our open

354
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,719
Speaker 1: border would become one of the greatest national security threats

355
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: in this country. And I'm sure you've heard me say

356
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: this before. I got attacked by the left like crazy,

357
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: but I was right, and now we have no idea

358
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: where these these these enemies of America are. We have

359
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: no ideas what their plans or one of them was

360
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: in Louisiana today. Now listen, this guy. You're probably thinking,

361
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: we'll get to this here in a second. But this

362
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: guy who killed Americans in the New Year's Day terrorist attack,

363
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: he was an American citizen from Texas, but he was

364
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: clearly radicalized by ISIS. And I'll talk to you about

365
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 1: all this in a second and how I think all

366
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: this is connected and what you need to be aware of.

367
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: So stay right there, all right, terrorist attack in New Orleans.

368
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: Let me also just say this, this is the largest

369
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: terrorist attack on US soil in years. And the President

370
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: of the United States is completely mia on this. He

371
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: put out a tweet and a post on x earlier today,

372
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: but it's been crickets ever since. He's not addressed the

373
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: nation at all. I find this to be very concerning,

374
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 1: especially because this situation is evolving very very rapidly. So

375
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: here is what we know right now. The suspect is

376
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: forty two years old Shamsad Din Jabbar, right, a US

377
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: citizen from Texas, driving a white Ford pickup truck. Which

378
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: appears to have been rented. FBI is working to confirm

379
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: how the subject came into possession of the vehicle. An

380
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: ISIS flag. I could see it plane as day. It

381
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: was underneath his license plate on this pole that rose

382
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: up on the back like over the bed of the

383
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: pickup truck. For whatever reason, local law enforcement or FBI

384
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: when they got on the scene decided to wrap that

385
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: flag up tight so that you couldn't see the actual

386
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: emblem on it. But it's clear that an ISIS flag

387
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: in this man, This terrorist was somehow affiliated with ISIS.

388
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: We're not actually sure which terrorist faction of ISIS you

389
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: was associated with yet, but he was clearly associated with ISIS.

390
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: There was weapons and potential IEDs located in the subjects vehicle,

391
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: and other potential IEDs were located in the French quarter. So, folks,

392
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: this is a big, big deal. There is clearly an

393
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: ongoing terrorist threat here. I mean, we let in over

394
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: I told you before ten point five million illegal aliens

395
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: under Biden the last four years. Zero point one percent

396
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: means that there's a thousand people, that's a conservative estimate

397
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: here in this country that want to do us harm.

398
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: So when this initially happened. I immediately tuned into the

399
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: press conferences to get a sense of what the local

400
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: coverage was. I woke up to this this morning. In fact,

401
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: one of the one of the kids that helps flag

402
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: media for me on social media said, you hear about

403
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: the terrorist attack? This is even before this is early

404
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: in the morning, at like eight am. I said, I

405
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: haven't heard about it yet. So I meet lately tuned

406
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: into the local coverage to get a sense of what

407
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: was actually happening. Because once national media takes it up

408
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: and starts spinning it, it's harder to get a clearer picture.

409
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: So I like to rely on local press events, local

410
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: press conferences, local eyewitness testimony to get just draw my

411
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: own conclusions, but listen to the FBI agent in charge

412
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: talk about this attack, Kirkpatrick.

413
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 3: Said, we'll be taking over the investigative lead for this event.

414
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 3: This is not a terrorist event. What it is right

415
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 3: now is there improvised explosive devices that was found and

416
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 3: we are working on confirming if this a viable device

417
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 3: or not. As Chief Kirkpatrick said, we're asking everyone to

418
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 3: stay away from Bourbon Street, specifically from Canal Street to

419
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 3: Saint Anne. That is my ass once again, stay away

420
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 3: from Bourbon Street, Canal Street all the way to Saint

421
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 3: Anne until we can figure out what is going on.

422
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 3: Our goal is provided to information.

423
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: So the FBI's initial reaction was to go out, this

424
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: is the very first, this is the this is our

425
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: first press conference. The FBI's initial reaction to this was

426
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: this is not a terrorist event. Not five minutes later

427
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: did the bureau release a statement saying this is being

428
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: investigated as a terrorist attack. So let me ask you

429
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: a question. It's rhetorical. I think we of the as

430
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: the American people, deserve to know who made the decision

431
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: early on to say this isn't a terrorist attack. Why

432
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: did the FBI reverse course after saying that this was

433
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: not an act of terror, especially since we knew within

434
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: seconds after the initial terrorist attack that there was an

435
00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: ISIS flag on this guy's truck. And here's the thing.

436
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: When Elon Musk says that x is now the most

437
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: powerful free speech platform in the world that citizen journalists

438
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: will replace, you know, journalists that work for these networks,

439
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: I think this is a good example of what he means,

440
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: because citizen journalists who were on the scene of that

441
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: horrific terrorist attack got pictures of this dude's truck and

442
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: posted them on X before the FBI was able to

443
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: put a lid on the entire situation and really lock

444
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: it down as far as the information is concerned, lock

445
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: it down. So there were pictures out there what clearly

446
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: look to be a black flag that was wrapped up tightly.

447
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: But having seen and fought these guys in combat before,

448
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure you all know what the ISIS flag looks like.

449
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: That we saw pictures of the ISIS flag, I thought,

450
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: oh man, that unfurl that flag certainly looks like it

451
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: could be an ISIS flag. Moreover, who made the decision

452
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: to roll up the flag and hide it? Why the

453
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: lack of transparency about the asymmetric threat that we face

454
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: in this country. I mean, these are valid questions, especially

455
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: when the impulse of so many of these corporate media

456
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: outlets and these liberal media outlets are to say car

457
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: crashes into crowd. They completely whitewashed the fact that it

458
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: was a terrorist attack. They act as if the car

459
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: drove itself or car crash victim. Right. They're very deliberate

460
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: in their lack of transparency, and that has me asking

461
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: a lot of questions but again thank God for X

462
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: because the motivation, I mean, the FBI I think would

463
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: have covered this up. I think that they would cut

464
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: they would have tried to cover this up. And shortly

465
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: after pictures of the pickup truck leaked, the body of

466
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: the actual shooter who lay dead on the road leaked

467
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 1: as well, and you could see he was not a

468
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 1: white dude, as I'm sure many in the media would

469
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: have wanted a white Trump supporter or something like that,

470
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: because that's the narrative they always want to push that

471
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: it's the white maga Trump supporters that are terrorists domestic

472
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 1: terror threats, and so you could bet your ass that

473
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: if if God forbid, something like that happened, that news

474
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: would have broken like that. But the FBI was absolutely

475
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: going to try to put a lid on this until

476
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: all the until X and all the citizen journalists got

477
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 1: involved and put all this information out. But I think

478
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: that that press that press conference, that press conference is

479
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: to me just the latest example of why the FBI

480
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: has just totally lost the trust of the American people.

481
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: And so as as I continued to like do a

482
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: little bit of research on what was happening, you know,

483
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: on Bourbon Street. They have these big steel barriers because

484
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: because you know, over time, over the last couple of years,

485
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: one of the tactics, techniques, and procedures of these terrorists

486
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: is to use vehicles to mow down large groups of people.

487
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: This just happened in Germany not a couple of weeks ago,

488
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: and so these cities run by Democrats installed these metal

489
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: barriers to stop that stuff. Well, somebody in New Orleans

490
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: made the call to ensure that those barriers were down

491
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,239
Speaker 1: on New Year's Eve. I don't know what's going on.

492
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: I don't know who made that call, but I think

493
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: we either people have a right to know who it was.

494
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: But when I talk about barriers, this is what I mean.

495
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: Watch this.

496
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 2: Doug mccash.

497
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 4: I'm with NOLA dot com and lately I've been writing

498
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 4: about the mayor and governor's proposals to make the French

499
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 4: Quarter safer, and one.

500
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 2: Of those proposals was to have mechanical.

501
00:29:54,760 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 4: Barriers that would prevent vehicles from approaching Bourbon Read.

502
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: After certain hours.

503
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 4: There were terrorist attacks in Nice and in Berlin where

504
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 4: terrorists used trucks as weapons, and this is supposed to

505
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 4: protect us from that.

506
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 3: That on think it's that bad about you keeps cars

507
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 3: from running us over and when we're drunk, right.

508
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: Well spoken, young man, well spoken. But the point, okay,

509
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: keeps cars from running us over? And you heard, I

510
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: mean from that video that wasn't actually related to this

511
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: attack was taken, video was taken fear in advance, say

512
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: this was the whole point of these barriers is to

513
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: protect the people who walk up and down this street

514
00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: from terrorist attacks. So why then were those barriers down

515
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: on New Year's Eve? New Year's Day, which anyone with

516
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: half a brain in their head knows, is a magnet

517
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: for terrorism. Large groups of Americans closely packed together, many

518
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: of whom are are drinking and perhaps don't have their

519
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: their all of their their wits about them. They're you know,

520
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: it's a target rich environment for a terrorist attack of

521
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: this type. So next question is why were those barriers

522
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: down and who made the decision to put them down.

523
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: CNN interviewed a bystander of all this and he asked

524
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: the same exact question.

525
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 5: Listen for yourself, have these hydraulic still barriers from past events?

526
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 5: Last Marti gral this happened to an extent, maybe not terrorism,

527
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 5: but still people getting hit in.

528
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 6: Mass population with vehicles.

529
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 5: Those barricuetes were not on period, the flimsy orange ones

530
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 5: that you could just push over with your finger.

531
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 6: We actually thought.

532
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 5: It was kind of odd because usually when you get

533
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 5: to Bourbon Street you can turn your back to Canal

534
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 5: and not worry about anything. You can just walk the street,

535
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 5: especially on New Year's and there was still vehicles.

536
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 6: Coming after eight pm. And then I mean the fact

537
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 6: that they never raised them.

538
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 5: That's how this guy was able to get down Bourbon

539
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 5: Street so quickly and cause so much damage.

540
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 6: Because there's other.

541
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: Okay, listen, so they said during the press conference, like

542
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: the local law enforcement. We're going to talk about the

543
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: local law enforcement here in a second. And by the way,

544
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: some of these freaking cops for heroes, got it. Have

545
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: to make sure that we celebrate them. But people were saying,

546
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: some of the local elected officials were saying that the

547
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: barriers malfunctioned. Okay, sometimes that stuff happens. Then why didn't

548
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: you put concrete barriers up? Those orange barrels do nothing?

549
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: If we know, we've learned a couple of things as

550
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: we've progressed through this show, that we had ten point

551
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: five million plus illegal alien invaders come across this border.

552
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: If only point one percent of them are bad actors,

553
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: that's a thousand plus people who want to do as harm.

554
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: Remember the video I played for you six months ago

555
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: of a reporter talking to a terrorist of alleged terrorists,

556
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: an eagle passed who said, oh, you don't know my name,

557
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: but you will soon. There are people that are pouring

558
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: into this country that hate us. So we know that

559
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: they're here. The FBI knows that they're here, the CIA

560
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: knows that they're here. Brian Dean Wright on this show

561
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: for the last three months, has been saying this scares

562
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: the shit out of him, and it's just a matter

563
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: of time for this nightmare scenario to unfold. You heard

564
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: people say, hey, these barriers are intended to protect people

565
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: from terrorist attacks, so they malfunction. We understand that that

566
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: kind of shit happens. We know that these car born

567
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,919
Speaker 1: terrorist attacks that kill large groups of people. They look

568
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,959
Speaker 1: for soft targets like Bourbon Street. They look for days

569
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,919
Speaker 1: of significance like New Year's Eve, like New Year's Day,

570
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: like Christmas Day, like Easter to conduct these attacks. So

571
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: if you know all of this, why are you and

572
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: the barriers are malfunction. How do you not make the

573
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: decision to put concrete barriers down to protect people? These

574
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:46,439
Speaker 1: are just questions, are just this one failure after the next.

575
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: And so the New Orleans Police chief is a woman

576
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: named Anne Kirkpatrick. Okay, she gave a press conference today.

577
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: I want you to hear a little bit of it

578
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 1: and the I'm gonna give you some of my thoughts here.

579
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 7: Thank you, Governor. I'm mayor. For those who do not

580
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 7: know me, my name is Anne Kirkpatrick. I'm the Chief

581
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 7: of Police of New Orleans. My title official title is superintendent,

582
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 7: but my role is as chief of police. You know

583
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 7: you've heard some of the details today and over the

584
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 7: last twenty four hours. We had approximately four hundred officers

585
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 7: in the French Quarter. And as we know, this is

586
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 7: not just an act of terrorism.

587
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: This is evil.

588
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 7: And when we face evil, we have a choice. We

589
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 7: can run in fear or we can indeed stand in strength.

590
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 7: And a time of crisis, people are looking for leadership.

591
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 7: You are looking at the leadership and I promise you

592
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 7: as the chief of police of this city. This city

593
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 7: has been tried by fire before, but fire purifies, fire

594
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 7: makes things stronger. We have a plan. We know what

595
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 7: to do. We are going to get these people. There

596
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 7: is a path forward. Very pleased that we will be

597
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 7: back to having a wonderful game tomorrow night. New Orleans

598
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 7: police have proven their ability to make the city safer.

599
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: Okay. So I'm watching your live reactions to this in

600
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: the live chat, and Don says, Grandma has a plan.

601
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 1: Just listen, listen this might I feel like I gotta

602
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: say it. I feel like I just gotta say it.

603
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: Why is an elderly woman a police chief in a

604
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: very dangerous city? Okay, I'm just saying something tells me

605
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: that Chief Kirkpatrick could get accosted by a twelve year

606
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: old boy who wants to rob her on the street

607
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: and lose. Something tells me that she might not be

608
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: equipped for this. And Tim Young said on X before

609
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: being hired in New Orleans, she was the head of

610
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: police in Oakland, California, where she was fired and she

611
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,760
Speaker 1: later sued Oakland and got a one point five million

612
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: dollar settlement. Just a couple of years before this horrific

613
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: terrorist attack, she ran over or strikes two pedestrians with

614
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: her vehicle injuring one. And you're seeing that right there

615
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: on your screen. So what is going on here, folks?

616
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: Why we got a granny police chief who seems to

617
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 1: be in over her head. And by the way, listen,

618
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: I could be completely wrong, okay, and I know this

619
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: might seem harsh, but I just listen this DEI bullshit it.

620
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,760
Speaker 1: It just really upsets me in these Democrat cities where

621
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: you have these people appointed to these positions who have

622
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 1: no business being in these positions, and they're only there

623
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: because they want to check a block that might work

624
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: in every other profession in the world. I mean, it

625
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: actually doesn't. I'm not saying it does, but I'm just

626
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: saying it's especially dangerous in jobs that require putting your

627
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: life on the line, both for the country abroad or

628
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: protecting people at home. You know, I don't Please don't

629
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: be offended by this, and let me ask you, like

630
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: a battle crew, am I am. I especially interested to

631
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: hear from the women of the group, because if I'm

632
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: sounding like a callous asshole dude, please let me know.

633
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 1: I don't mean to sound like that. But I kind

634
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: of feel the same way about this that I felt

635
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: about the Secret Service agent who was trying to cover

636
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: Trump after the July thirteenth assassination. I don't doubt her courage,

637
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 1: I don't doubt her skill. I really don't doubt any

638
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: of that. I just wonder why is a five foot

639
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,439
Speaker 1: nothing woman trying to protect a six plus a six

640
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: foot four, two hundred plus pound man. She doesn't even

641
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: cover his body when she puts herself on top of

642
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: him to try to shield him. Am I am I

643
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: wrong about this? I mean, if I'm wrong about this,

644
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,919
Speaker 1: please tell me. I'm not trying to be insensitive here,

645
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: but I just think that in this line of work,

646
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: and actually there's many lines of work, but like we

647
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: just you mean to tell me this woman is the

648
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: best qualified person to do this job. Come on, the

649
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: older I get, the more I agree with Jack Nicholson

650
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: From a few good men, I don't know if you

651
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: ever let me come to the live chat battle crew.

652
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen the movie? A few good men?

653
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: I wanna I wanna hear thank you for saying some

654
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: of you all saying common sense? I agree, No, Grandma

655
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: in this position, okay, this is awesome. This is awesome,

656
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: This is okay. It makes me, it makes me feel

657
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: better to hear what the battle crew is thinking about

658
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: this because I am really not trying to be insensitive here.

659
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to say, is this the best qualified

660
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: person to have in this job? And is the city

661
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: safer because this person is there? I don't think that

662
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: that's the case, but I let me just read this

663
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: from a few good men. Son, we live in a

664
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: world that has walls, and those walls have to be

665
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You, you,

666
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Weinberg. I have greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom.

667
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: You weep for Santiago, You curse the Marines. You have

668
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what

669
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 1: I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives

670
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: in my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.

671
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: You don't want the truth because deep down in places

672
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: you don't talk about at parties, you want me on

673
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: that wall. You need me on that wall. We use

674
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as

675
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use

676
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 1: them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor

677
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises

678
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that

679
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: I provide, and then questions the manner in which I

680
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: provide it. Now, I want to be clear about something.

681
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: I don't think that Santiago should have died. I don't

682
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: like that. But everything else that he says here is

683
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: completely on point. Folks, this country are we are at war.

684
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 1: I I don't want to go to war. I don't

685
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: want to send America's troops abroad. But there are people

686
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: here in this country that want to kill us. There

687
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 1: are people in the world that are at war with us,

688
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: whether we like it or not. And I want people

689
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: in these positions who I know will save lives and

690
00:42:53,120 --> 00:43:00,760
Speaker 1: not cost them. I'm tired of this, tired of people

691
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 1: getting hurt. And it doesn't matter the profession. I mean,

692
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: this happened. This, This insane liberal pc DEI nonsense gets

693
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: people killed. And in the dangerous world that we live

694
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: in that we're laying out here on this show, I

695
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: want the best and the brightest in these positions to

696
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: protect the American people. For God's sake. The man who

697
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: runs this country is an animated corpse, doesn't even know

698
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: where he is. It's been completely mia in the wake

699
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: of the largest terrorist attack on this nation. So I

700
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 1: on a very long time. How can we possibly look

701
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: ourselves in the mirror and say, yes, we have the best,

702
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: in the brightest in all of these positions. We don't.

703
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: We don't, but we do have some absolutely courageous officers.

704
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: And by the way, maybe I'm giving Chief Kirkpatrick a

705
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: very unfair bad rap here. I'm not saying that I

706
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,240
Speaker 1: might not be right about this. She might be great,

707
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 1: Her officers might love her, her officers might respect her,

708
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: the town might love and respect her. I'm just saying

709
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: I hate to judge a book by its cover, but

710
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: in this instance, I just am not just saying, but

711
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: there were some real heroes out there. And I want

712
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: to show you this, and I want to showcase these officers,

713
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: people who run towards the sound of gunfire when people

714
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 1: need help. Now, for folks who are listening and not watching,

715
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna show is closed closed circuit camera of

716
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: cops getting the call and then sprinting immediately in unison together,

717
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: not hesitating for a second to go and help others. Watch,

718
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: Watch carefully, see if you can see this right here,

719
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: this group of men right there in the middle beneath

720
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: me on side to get the call. Look at that

721
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: they all move out together after that call. I'm telling you,

722
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: those men and women who are willing to risk their

723
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: life in their limb for people that I have never

724
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: met will never cease to inspire me. And this was

725
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: the end result of this. These cops get on scene,

726
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: a couple of them got shot before they ultimately these

727
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: hero cops killed this terrorist. But you can see an

728
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: officer in the video that I'm about the show get

729
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: hit after he arrives on scene and opens fire at

730
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 1: this terrorist. Watch what the fuck my god? Looking you

731
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: see the cops go down right there. You see the

732
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: cop go down. It's hard to see, but you see

733
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:53,720
Speaker 1: him fall right there. See him falls right on the ground.

734
00:45:56,040 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: These officers are heroes, They really truly are. You know.

735
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 1: Part of the reason why, actually the reason why I

736
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: joined the military is because of how our first responders

737
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: reacted to nine to eleven. How they people running up

738
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 1: into those buildings that would ultimately collapse on them try

739
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: to save people that they didn't know. That to me,

740
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: that type of selflessness is just inspiring and it embodies

741
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: the best of what it means to be an American.

742
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 1: But the Democrats, their policies. When I say that Democrat

743
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: policies are an existential threat to this country, this is

744
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: what I mean because the Left. Did you know that

745
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: they defunded the police, the New Orleans Police, Yeah, they

746
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: got this guy, but officer numbers are at their lowest

747
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: point since the nineteen forties. SINCEISASA Democrats defunded their cops,

748
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: the department has lost twenty six point six percent of

749
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: its force now short seven hundred and seventy six officers.

750
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: So you can see, this is what I'm saying that

751
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: these Democrat policies, defund the police, being just one example

752
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: of them, are extremely dangerous for all of us who

753
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:31,240
Speaker 1: want to live in a world that is peaceful. Okay, folks,

754
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: the Sugar Bowl was delayed. Okay, down in New Orleans.

755
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: The only reason to delay the Sugar Bowl is because

756
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: the FBI believes that this is a coordinated attack. And

757
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: this absolutely is a coordinated attack. And I'm going to

758
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: tell you, I'm going to tell you why here in

759
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 1: a second. There are five others as of right now

760
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: who are still out there, probably more than that, who

761
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: helped this guy get into position and plant many of

762
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: these improvised explosive devices and build these explosive devices. Bottom

763
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: line is, there are more people out there try to

764
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:12,280
Speaker 1: help this guy kill Americans. This didn't make the news

765
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: anywhere near at the level that it should have. But

766
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: at six am today in New Orleans, officers found an

767
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: explosive device near the cathedral in the French Quarter. They

768
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:28,479
Speaker 1: discovered two devices and safely detonated both. And how about

769
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: this reported by the Associated Press, I mean not a

770
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: conservative outlet, but nonetheless the Intel bulletin on the terror attack.

771
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: Listen to this. Pipe bombs were also found in the vehicle.

772
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: The devices were wired for remote detonation and a corresponding

773
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: remote control was discovered inside the vehicle as well. Surveillance

774
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: footage captured. Get this, three men and a woman placing

775
00:48:55,239 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: one of multiple IEDs. This is a core coordinated attack.

776
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: This is why they this is why they canceled the

777
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: sugar Bowl. And while you're listening, folks, make sure you

778
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: smash that like button, that little green thumb beneath the video.

779
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: Go ahead and crush that like button. I know it's

780
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 1: the Holidays. Want to make the leader board. I want

781
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: to make the leader board. Again. But this is clearly

782
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: this terrorist tech. These lives lost clearly can be laid

783
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: at the feet of the corrupt Biden administration, Joe Biden,

784
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 1: Alejandro maw Yorcas on down. They all have blood on

785
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: their hands. They're all responsible. Chris Ray, Merrick Garland. These

786
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: idiots focused the FBI's attention in bandwidth and you heard

787
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: this from Steve Friend as well, remember FBI whistleblower. They

788
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 1: these idiots focused the FBI's attention, in the DOJ's attention

789
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 1: on Catholics, pro lifers, school parents at election protesters January sixth, Grandmas.

790
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 1: And guess what because of that, they missed yet another

791
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: terrorist attack. And I want to remind you of something.

792
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: Do you remember the Fort Hood attack? The jihattist at

793
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: Fort Hood? I can't remember his name, God, it was

794
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 1: right on the tip of my tongue. But this guy

795
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: was reported to his chain and command many, many, many times.

796
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:42,320
Speaker 1: It was ignored be out of fear of racism or Islamophobia.

797
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 1: You remember this? And do you remember that the FBI labeled,

798
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: along with Barack Obama, the Fort Hood shooting workplace violence

799
00:50:56,160 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: and they did it to cover up Islamic terrorism. I

800
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: have heard rumblings that the same thing happened with this guy,

801
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 1: that this guy was reported to his chain of command

802
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: multiple times for some alarming behavior, and none. I can't

803
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 1: none of this is out there in the media yet.

804
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 1: But what do you think the over under is? Folks?

805
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: Let me come over here to the live chat. I

806
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: want to see what you all think about this. Actually,

807
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: let me ask you this yes or no question? Do

808
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 1: you believe the FBI? Do you believe that this guy

809
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: was on the FBI's radar ahead of time? Yes? Or no? Oh?

810
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 1: Major Hassan, Thank you, Nadal Hassan. Yes, thank you, thank you,

811
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 1: Thank you battle crew, you are the best, very very smart.

812
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: What's the over under of this guy being on the

813
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: FBI's radar ahead Look at all the yes is exactly

814
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: exactly right. This is just crazy. Look at these responses

815
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: here in the life chat, isn't it. What does it

816
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: say about the FBI that this is the case. This

817
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: is what we all believe. The thousands of people that

818
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: are watching right now live and listen it. We'll listen

819
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: to this show later. This is what you all believe? Yes, yes, yes,

820
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 1: six design says it happens all too often, and you

821
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: my friend are exactly right. And so this leads me

822
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: to the incident outside of Trump Tower. A cyber truck

823
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 1: exploding out of Trump Tower. This was reported shortly after

824
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: the terrorist attack of New Orleans. It was initially reported

825
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: as just a cyber truck caught on fire, but that

826
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: people who were staying at the Trump Hotel in Vegas

827
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: heard an explosion. Well, I don't know if you've seen

828
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: the second video of it, but I'm gonna show it

829
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: here and I'll play it again for you all so

830
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: you can see it. But folks who are listening, first

831
00:52:58,040 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: of all, you can make your way over to Rumble

832
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: and Fall A subscribe to the show. Please do it

833
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: because you get an extra layer. I know sometimes if

834
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: you're driving home or whatever you can't watch, or cooking

835
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: dinner you can't watch because I know the shows at five.

836
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: Completely understand that. But this video of the cyber truck exploding,

837
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of unbelievable. Just watch you see that those

838
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: are fireworks right there. Watch again, boom. Let me tell

839
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: you something, folks, having seen cars, having seen more than

840
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: a couple times in my life, which again, it's very

841
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: weird when your own life experience is surreal to you.

842
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: But I have seen what they call v bids vehicle

843
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: borne improvised explosive devices explode terrists have tried to use

844
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: them against my soldiers in Afghanistan many, many times. Is

845
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 1: that insane? Usually there just packed with high explosive or

846
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 1: some form of shape charge or you know, one or

847
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 1: seven millimeters rockets and boom, car goes up. Now, this

848
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: car wasn't packed with that type of explosive. It looks

849
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: like it was just packed with some sort of fireworks,

850
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: So I think it could have been a lot worse.

851
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: And the fact that the fact that this car, that

852
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: cyber truck is wrapped in stainless steel, I think that

853
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 1: actually insulates the explosion or minimizes the damage of the

854
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: explosion itself. But I talked to Brian Dean right about

855
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: this about the evs, because yes, these evs, especially with

856
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 1: their lithium, their heavy duty lithium batteries, they do have

857
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: issues sometimes with spontaneously combusting. But let me tell you,

858
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 1: like those trucks, like the cyber trucks, this force is

859
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: from Brian Dean right too. EV's in general, their batteries

860
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: they don't just ignite without a catastrophic event. They're normally
