<v Speaker 3>In the house. The man himself.

0:00:38.417 --> 0:00:43.457
<v Speaker 2>coming out which makes a great stocking stuffer, but for

0:00:43.897 --> 0:00:46.297
<v Speaker 2>early next year, right because it technically you can't stock

0:00:46.337 --> 0:00:47.937
<v Speaker 2>your stuffing with it X. It's coming out the first

0:00:47.977 --> 0:00:50.697
<v Speaker 2>week of January, but you should pre order it if

0:00:50.697 --> 0:00:55.457
<v Speaker 2>you can. The Attack by Kurt Schlickter, coming out January eighth.

0:00:55.897 --> 0:00:57.097
<v Speaker 3>Mister Kurt, how are you, buddy?

0:00:57.817 --> 0:01:01.217
<v Speaker 1>Oh? I'm doing great. I've got my Noel going on.

0:01:02.617 --> 0:01:03.777
<v Speaker 3>That's good. That's good to know.

0:01:03.897 --> 0:01:07.377
<v Speaker 2>So I wanted to know for you. You know, this

0:01:07.417 --> 0:01:08.897
<v Speaker 2>is a little bit of a of a year in

0:01:08.937 --> 0:01:10.857
<v Speaker 2>review and then a year look ahead show. Right, what

0:01:11.377 --> 0:01:16.377
<v Speaker 2>for you is the biggest and most interesting story of

0:01:16.697 --> 0:01:18.257
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three?

0:01:18.417 --> 0:01:18.497
<v Speaker 1>Like?

0:01:18.537 --> 0:01:21.737
<v Speaker 3>What were you just as fired up about as anything?

0:01:22.617 --> 0:01:25.537
<v Speaker 1>Well? Look, I think I think the story that sums

0:01:25.617 --> 0:01:29.897
<v Speaker 1>up twenty twenty three was the Senate staffer and his

0:01:30.017 --> 0:01:34.817
<v Speaker 1>buddy making it happen in the Senate hearing room. I

0:01:34.817 --> 0:01:39.777
<v Speaker 1>think that perfectly encapsulated everything about this year, from a

0:01:40.017 --> 0:01:45.937
<v Speaker 1>gross leftism to bizarre perversion, to a total contempt for

0:01:46.017 --> 0:01:48.817
<v Speaker 1>our norms and our institutions. I think that we can

0:01:48.897 --> 0:01:50.937
<v Speaker 1>tell me there is like the perfect ending.

0:01:51.457 --> 0:01:55.057
<v Speaker 2>It's really in the Christmas spirit. Apparently with it it's

0:01:55.097 --> 0:01:57.057
<v Speaker 2>like the worst year ever.

0:02:01.017 --> 0:02:04.017
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look at this. You've got America is in

0:02:04.097 --> 0:02:08.377
<v Speaker 1>retreat around the globe. We have a economy that's in

0:02:08.417 --> 0:02:14.857
<v Speaker 1>the dumpster. We have a an alleged president who's trying to,

0:02:16.057 --> 0:02:20.617
<v Speaker 1>you know, if not arrest, at least disenfranchised his political opponent.

0:02:21.857 --> 0:02:26.137
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's so much to choose from. Yeah, Harvard,

0:02:26.457 --> 0:02:31.097
<v Speaker 1>you have a midwain diversity hire who's a plagiarist, who's

0:02:31.177 --> 0:02:37.617
<v Speaker 1>heading America's allegedly greatest university. I mean, it's uh, Jimmy

0:02:37.697 --> 0:02:42.257
<v Speaker 1>Carter is just happy that he's not going to pass

0:02:42.297 --> 0:02:45.737
<v Speaker 1>on to his reward before seeing a worse president than him.

0:02:46.297 --> 0:02:47.857
<v Speaker 2>You know a lot of people are just listening to this,

0:02:47.937 --> 0:02:49.417
<v Speaker 2>so they don't they don't really see it because they

0:02:49.457 --> 0:02:53.017
<v Speaker 2>don'tubscribe to the YouTube channel, which they should YouTube Buck

0:02:53.097 --> 0:02:56.697
<v Speaker 2>Sexton for the Buck brief. But you know, this is

0:02:56.737 --> 0:02:58.337
<v Speaker 2>one thing people say, oh do you have you have

0:02:58.377 --> 0:03:00.937
<v Speaker 2>such You know that they will comment on my luxurious

0:03:00.937 --> 0:03:03.337
<v Speaker 2>main and with the donor is stand Kurt. A lot

0:03:03.337 --> 0:03:05.217
<v Speaker 2>of maintenance goes into this and it can get it

0:03:05.257 --> 0:03:08.417
<v Speaker 2>can get crazy like right now, just happened. It started

0:03:08.457 --> 0:03:11.497
<v Speaker 2>sticking off to the side, like like Dennis the Menace situation,

0:03:11.737 --> 0:03:13.497
<v Speaker 2>and there's not nothing I can do about it. You know.

0:03:13.617 --> 0:03:16.057
<v Speaker 2>So while it is a blessing, it is also a curse.

0:03:16.817 --> 0:03:19.017
<v Speaker 2>This is a total non sequitor. Let's get back to

0:03:19.057 --> 0:03:23.657
<v Speaker 2>the real things. What what for you is is the

0:03:23.657 --> 0:03:27.177
<v Speaker 2>thing that uh, you know, in terms of the stories

0:03:27.177 --> 0:03:30.737
<v Speaker 2>of the past year, is there anything that you think

0:03:30.777 --> 0:03:35.817
<v Speaker 2>we're going to get a particularly joyous resolution to in

0:03:35.857 --> 0:03:40.217
<v Speaker 2>the coming year, whether it's a conflict abroad or a

0:03:40.297 --> 0:03:43.377
<v Speaker 2>election here at home? I mean, what, what's kind of

0:03:43.377 --> 0:03:47.537
<v Speaker 2>making you hopeful? Grinch after your whole is everything sucks?

0:03:47.617 --> 0:03:49.817
<v Speaker 2>America is getting this, you know, butt kicked or whatever.

0:03:50.657 --> 0:03:54.337
<v Speaker 1>I I'm becoming one of those guys. I hate that.

0:03:54.977 --> 0:03:57.737
<v Speaker 1>I look, I have hope for America. But you know,

0:03:57.817 --> 0:04:00.937
<v Speaker 1>it's always darkest before the dawn, and don't worry, it

0:04:00.977 --> 0:04:02.177
<v Speaker 1>can always get worse.

0:04:04.617 --> 0:04:05.377
<v Speaker 3>Okay, can I ask you?

0:04:05.417 --> 0:04:09.057
<v Speaker 2>Can ask you a real question because you're your military guy.

0:04:08.857 --> 0:04:11.977
<v Speaker 2>My concern here is, so you know, we're both a

0:04:11.977 --> 0:04:13.817
<v Speaker 2>little we both had a little eggnog with a little

0:04:13.817 --> 0:04:16.137
<v Speaker 2>spiked rum probably even though it's morning as we're doing

0:04:16.137 --> 0:04:20.017
<v Speaker 2>this podcast. But but but looking yeah, I mean, is

0:04:20.017 --> 0:04:21.257
<v Speaker 2>it ever too early for eggnog?

0:04:21.297 --> 0:04:23.497
<v Speaker 3>It's a food group, but I would say.

0:04:23.537 --> 0:04:25.577
<v Speaker 1>And it's always Christmas somewhere.

0:04:25.577 --> 0:04:29.137
<v Speaker 3>That's also true. But but onto like a real question

0:04:29.217 --> 0:04:29.377
<v Speaker 3>for you.

0:04:29.417 --> 0:04:32.817
<v Speaker 2>On the military side, my concern is with with the

0:04:32.937 --> 0:04:37.617
<v Speaker 2>Ukraine thing. You'll notice the funding continues, but people putting

0:04:37.617 --> 0:04:42.497
<v Speaker 2>the Ukraine flags in their bio that's kind of gone

0:04:42.577 --> 0:04:43.857
<v Speaker 2>down a bit, do you know what I mean? Like

0:04:44.177 --> 0:04:46.857
<v Speaker 2>somehow it's now on autopilot, like it's not the thing

0:04:46.937 --> 0:04:49.297
<v Speaker 2>that all the Libs are like, like like they're about

0:04:49.337 --> 0:04:51.817
<v Speaker 2>to go and fight, you know, alongside the Ukrainian military

0:04:51.897 --> 0:04:55.657
<v Speaker 2>or something that has died down, right, But you know,

0:04:55.657 --> 0:05:00.057
<v Speaker 2>the people that had the syringes for the vaccine alongside

0:05:00.057 --> 0:05:03.377
<v Speaker 2>the flag, now it's just the syringes and even less

0:05:03.377 --> 0:05:06.417
<v Speaker 2>of that. The Ukraine flags are disappearing too. Are we

0:05:06.497 --> 0:05:08.137
<v Speaker 2>just going to keep funding this thing though for the

0:05:08.177 --> 0:05:11.617
<v Speaker 2>next year and no one's really gonna care about America

0:05:11.857 --> 0:05:14.337
<v Speaker 2>getting I don't know, We'll be three hundred billion in

0:05:14.377 --> 0:05:16.457
<v Speaker 2>the hole over this thing and nothing changes. They're not

0:05:16.497 --> 0:05:18.977
<v Speaker 2>even it's not even like one side is winning or losing. Really,

0:05:18.977 --> 0:05:20.097
<v Speaker 2>it's just like a stalemate.

0:05:21.337 --> 0:05:26.337
<v Speaker 1>It's it's a stalemate. But you know, having knowing something

0:05:26.377 --> 0:05:30.297
<v Speaker 1>about history gives us kind of an advantage over all

0:05:30.337 --> 0:05:33.897
<v Speaker 1>the people running this country. What Russia does is it

0:05:33.977 --> 0:05:38.217
<v Speaker 1>loses initially, then it rebuilds, then it counterattacks, then it

0:05:38.257 --> 0:05:42.097
<v Speaker 1>destroys its enemy. And you know, it's true under Napoleon,

0:05:42.137 --> 0:05:46.577
<v Speaker 1>that was true against Hitler, and I think it's gonna

0:05:46.577 --> 0:05:48.897
<v Speaker 1>be true about Ukraine. And I look, I like Ukraine.

0:05:48.937 --> 0:05:51.817
<v Speaker 1>I went and trained Ukrainian soldiers. I don't think they

0:05:51.857 --> 0:05:54.257
<v Speaker 1>should have been invaded. I'm not for Russia. I was

0:05:54.577 --> 0:05:56.937
<v Speaker 1>actually in the Cold War while a lot of the

0:05:56.937 --> 0:05:59.817
<v Speaker 1>people with Ukrainian flags were stucking up to the KGB

0:05:59.937 --> 0:06:04.937
<v Speaker 1>sponsored nuclear phrase movement. So it doesn't give me a

0:06:04.977 --> 0:06:07.137
<v Speaker 1>pleasure to say, but you know, Ukraine is running out

0:06:07.137 --> 0:06:09.897
<v Speaker 1>of Ukrainians. I have heard, and I don't know if

0:06:09.937 --> 0:06:11.937
<v Speaker 1>it's sure or not, that the average age of a

0:06:12.017 --> 0:06:16.697
<v Speaker 1>Ukrainian soldier is forty three years old. If true, that's

0:06:16.777 --> 0:06:21.417
<v Speaker 1>not good. That's that's bad. And there are millions of

0:06:21.617 --> 0:06:24.537
<v Speaker 1>young Ukrainian men who've already voted with their feet. They're

0:06:24.577 --> 0:06:27.537
<v Speaker 1>all over Europe, they've emmigranted, they're not fighting for their country.

0:06:28.697 --> 0:06:32.497
<v Speaker 1>I think what we're going to get out out of

0:06:32.537 --> 0:06:36.257
<v Speaker 1>our three hundred billion is Russia is going to have

0:06:36.337 --> 0:06:38.497
<v Speaker 1>all its old equipment wiped out, so it's going to

0:06:38.497 --> 0:06:40.777
<v Speaker 1>build new, modern equipment, and it's going to have all

0:06:40.777 --> 0:06:44.177
<v Speaker 1>its bad generals killed and then get new generals who

0:06:44.257 --> 0:06:46.177
<v Speaker 1>know how to fight, so they will come out with

0:06:46.217 --> 0:06:49.257
<v Speaker 1>a stronger military. We will come out with a weaker

0:06:49.337 --> 0:06:53.217
<v Speaker 1>one because we're you know, we're using up our stocks

0:06:53.217 --> 0:06:57.177
<v Speaker 1>of ammunition like one five millimere shells and Himer's missiles

0:06:57.657 --> 0:07:02.657
<v Speaker 1>or rockets, and we're absolutely not learning anything either, because

0:07:02.737 --> 0:07:05.537
<v Speaker 1>the United States military seemed capable of learning well.

0:07:05.577 --> 0:07:09.497
<v Speaker 2>Also, though I mean I wonder about this sometimes, you know,

0:07:09.737 --> 0:07:12.577
<v Speaker 2>from the time I was in Cia and then many

0:07:12.657 --> 0:07:18.297
<v Speaker 2>years afterwards, I got a sense as to how we

0:07:18.497 --> 0:07:23.617
<v Speaker 2>we have If you're trying to find people who can

0:07:25.177 --> 0:07:29.097
<v Speaker 2>in close quarters combat go into a you know, a

0:07:29.177 --> 0:07:32.817
<v Speaker 2>house and smoke a bunch of Al Qaeda guys.

0:07:33.257 --> 0:07:34.337
<v Speaker 3>We got the best guys in.

0:07:34.337 --> 0:07:35.937
<v Speaker 2>The world at that, I mean our you know, our

0:07:35.977 --> 0:07:38.577
<v Speaker 2>Delta guys and seals and rangers and and s F

0:07:38.617 --> 0:07:42.017
<v Speaker 2>and all these like marsk all these guys got I

0:07:42.057 --> 0:07:44.737
<v Speaker 2>mean the skills set that they developed over these wars

0:07:45.217 --> 0:07:49.417
<v Speaker 2>and then through the actual you know, experiential component of

0:07:49.457 --> 0:07:52.097
<v Speaker 2>it from fighting for so many years. We're amazing at that.

0:07:53.137 --> 0:07:54.057
<v Speaker 2>Are we amazing?

0:07:54.177 --> 0:07:54.497
<v Speaker 1>Though?

0:07:54.897 --> 0:08:00.657
<v Speaker 2>At the sending tanks across a battlefield, massive amounts of ammunition,

0:08:01.057 --> 0:08:03.657
<v Speaker 2>artillery support, and all of that at the level we

0:08:03.697 --> 0:08:06.137
<v Speaker 2>would have to be if we were going to fight

0:08:06.177 --> 0:08:07.417
<v Speaker 2>against a Russia or a China.

0:08:07.457 --> 0:08:08.217
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what I mean?

0:08:08.297 --> 0:08:12.217
<v Speaker 1>Like? Are you know exactly you mean? And thirty three

0:08:12.297 --> 0:08:16.297
<v Speaker 1>years ago, I was in the Golf War about to

0:08:16.297 --> 0:08:19.137
<v Speaker 1>be in the Golf War, and that's what we did.

0:08:19.217 --> 0:08:20.577
<v Speaker 1>We knew how to do that, We knew how to

0:08:20.657 --> 0:08:26.937
<v Speaker 1>integrate battlefield operating systems to synchronize our operations. We still

0:08:26.977 --> 0:08:31.097
<v Speaker 1>do training at National Training Center sometimes, but I've got

0:08:31.337 --> 0:08:36.017
<v Speaker 1>very little faith in our generals. Our generals have any

0:08:36.057 --> 0:08:38.457
<v Speaker 1>proven track record of failure. They have not won a war,

0:08:38.937 --> 0:08:43.017
<v Speaker 1>a major war, unequivocally since the aforementioned Golf War. Do

0:08:43.057 --> 0:08:45.337
<v Speaker 1>you I don't know if they can do conventional fight.

0:08:46.257 --> 0:08:48.017
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if we have the ammunition to do well.

0:08:48.017 --> 0:08:49.377
<v Speaker 2>That's what what I was gonna ask you, is do

0:08:49.417 --> 0:08:52.697
<v Speaker 2>we even have the industrial base to support? Because I

0:08:52.737 --> 0:08:56.297
<v Speaker 2>was reading I was reading articles a year ago, well,

0:08:56.337 --> 0:08:58.697
<v Speaker 2>I guess it was like nine months ago, but New

0:08:58.777 --> 0:09:01.377
<v Speaker 2>York Times articles, et cetera, where they were saying, we

0:09:01.417 --> 0:09:05.097
<v Speaker 2>may run out of the capacity to help the Ukrainians

0:09:05.457 --> 0:09:09.217
<v Speaker 2>have the capacity to keep firing artillery rounds off, and

0:09:09.257 --> 0:09:12.337
<v Speaker 2>I was like, really, I was looking.

0:09:12.057 --> 0:09:17.617
<v Speaker 1>At something about an artillery shell making plant in the US,

0:09:18.017 --> 0:09:19.617
<v Speaker 1>and then we're trying to make like one hundred and

0:09:19.697 --> 0:09:23.697
<v Speaker 1>seventy shells an hour, which sounds like a lot. An

0:09:23.817 --> 0:09:26.097
<v Speaker 1>artillery battalion is going to put one hundred and seventy

0:09:26.097 --> 0:09:31.057
<v Speaker 1>shells out in about ten minutes. That's one artillery battalion

0:09:32.017 --> 0:09:36.297
<v Speaker 1>out of what needs to be hundreds. Yeah, we're not

0:09:36.457 --> 0:09:39.737
<v Speaker 1>a serious country about the military. We are a serious

0:09:39.737 --> 0:09:45.857
<v Speaker 1>country about frivolous nonsense like DEI and equity and weird

0:09:45.977 --> 0:09:47.057
<v Speaker 1>trans nonsense.

0:09:47.217 --> 0:09:48.897
<v Speaker 2>Well, I want to ask you about that, but hold

0:09:48.977 --> 0:09:50.977
<v Speaker 2>on for one second because from our sponsor here for

0:09:51.337 --> 0:09:52.897
<v Speaker 2>a moment. You know, Kurt was just talking about how

0:09:52.937 --> 0:09:56.457
<v Speaker 2>messed up things have gotten. Well, when Biden watched the

0:09:56.497 --> 0:09:58.537
<v Speaker 2>Afghan withdrawal, that was a sign of things to come.

0:09:58.617 --> 0:10:00.377
<v Speaker 3>And now we know that.

0:10:00.457 --> 0:10:04.217
<v Speaker 2>The world is looking more destabilized and America is looking

0:10:04.217 --> 0:10:06.617
<v Speaker 2>weaker on the world stage because of decisions made by

0:10:06.617 --> 0:10:09.457
<v Speaker 2>our leadership. Russia invaded Ukraine. We're talking about these things,

0:10:10.217 --> 0:10:13.457
<v Speaker 2>got real violence breaking out all in the Middle East,

0:10:13.457 --> 0:10:17.177
<v Speaker 2>and it could spread beyond the current battlefield. But former

0:10:17.217 --> 0:10:19.937
<v Speaker 2>Wall Street insider Tika Tawari, you've heard of us talking

0:10:19.937 --> 0:10:22.337
<v Speaker 2>about him on the program from time to time. Tika

0:10:22.377 --> 0:10:25.017
<v Speaker 2>believes our biggest risk is not an expanding war, but

0:10:25.097 --> 0:10:28.137
<v Speaker 2>the collapse of the US dollar. That's the centerpiece of everything.

0:10:28.177 --> 0:10:30.377
<v Speaker 2>If that goes, forget about all these other things we're

0:10:30.417 --> 0:10:33.937
<v Speaker 2>talking about. Tika has released an informative video that he

0:10:34.017 --> 0:10:37.097

<v Speaker 2>think it's just a matter of time and I really

0:10:57.977 --> 0:11:00.177
<v Speaker 2>mean this, or do you think that they would they would,

0:11:00.217 --> 0:11:01.737
<v Speaker 2>they would draw some kind of a line. Is it

0:11:01.777 --> 0:11:04.617
<v Speaker 2>just a matter of time before we have a And

0:11:04.697 --> 0:11:07.497
<v Speaker 2>I'm being I'm being honest, like I'm asking the real question.

0:11:08.177 --> 0:11:14.497
<v Speaker 2>A purple haired, nose ringed, non binary like three or

0:11:14.537 --> 0:11:15.577
<v Speaker 2>four star general?

0:11:15.777 --> 0:11:15.977
<v Speaker 3>Is that?

0:11:16.097 --> 0:11:18.577
<v Speaker 2>Is that coming in the actual military, not you know,

0:11:18.737 --> 0:11:20.337
<v Speaker 2>health and human services or something.

0:11:20.777 --> 0:11:23.657
<v Speaker 1>No, it is. When I wrote the People's Republic books,

0:11:23.657 --> 0:11:25.937
<v Speaker 1>which features that sort of thing, I thought, let me

0:11:25.977 --> 0:11:29.217
<v Speaker 1>talk about crazy stuff. The crazy stuff is happening, and

0:11:29.297 --> 0:11:32.937
<v Speaker 1>that will happen because the military has lost its capacity

0:11:33.057 --> 0:11:36.857
<v Speaker 1>to say this is nonsense. We're a serious organization. They

0:11:36.857 --> 0:11:40.897
<v Speaker 1>are now a petri dish for bizarre social pathologies, and

0:11:41.177 --> 0:11:44.497
<v Speaker 1>we have the track record of defeat to prove it.

0:11:44.697 --> 0:11:48.577
<v Speaker 2>Can I ask you, do any of your friends, colleagues,

0:11:48.657 --> 0:11:52.657
<v Speaker 2>brothers in arms, the military that are somewhat like minded

0:11:52.697 --> 0:11:55.257
<v Speaker 2>to us, do they push back on this? Who are

0:11:55.297 --> 0:11:57.177
<v Speaker 2>you know who are still inside? Are they like guys? Look,

0:11:57.177 --> 0:11:59.137
<v Speaker 2>there's some of that stuff, but it's not this bad

0:11:59.497 --> 0:12:01.857
<v Speaker 2>or are they like? No, it actually is this bad?

0:12:01.897 --> 0:12:04.017
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying, Like, does anyone say all

0:12:04.257 --> 0:12:06.817
<v Speaker 2>the right the right wing media is taking this too far?

0:12:06.937 --> 0:12:09.377
<v Speaker 2>I agree, we shouldn't have all this nonsense, but it's

0:12:09.377 --> 0:12:11.897
<v Speaker 2>going too far? Or is this what they're really seeing?

0:12:12.697 --> 0:12:15.857
<v Speaker 1>Now? This is what they're seeing. It's the point where

0:12:16.017 --> 0:12:20.657
<v Speaker 1>the retired guys like me, we don't recommend anyone joined

0:12:20.657 --> 0:12:23.497
<v Speaker 1>the military anything. Wow. And it kills me. It kills

0:12:23.577 --> 0:12:26.617
<v Speaker 1>me to say, don't join the military right now. But

0:12:26.697 --> 0:12:30.857
<v Speaker 1>why should you? They hate you if you're a normal person,

0:12:31.617 --> 0:12:36.257
<v Speaker 1>they despise you. You are not in a serious organization. Look.

0:12:36.577 --> 0:12:39.177
<v Speaker 1>As a lawyer, I represented one of the families of

0:12:39.217 --> 0:12:42.297
<v Speaker 1>one of the guys killed in combled So I was

0:12:42.337 --> 0:12:44.937
<v Speaker 1>there when you know, the Marine Corps came and briefed

0:12:44.937 --> 0:12:48.057
<v Speaker 1>them on what allegedly happened. And I watched what the

0:12:48.097 --> 0:12:51.817
<v Speaker 1>Marine Corps told this family whose son was killed through

0:12:51.857 --> 0:12:56.257
<v Speaker 1>the gross inconfidence of the military. And then I watched

0:12:56.337 --> 0:12:59.257
<v Speaker 1>later as there was sworn testimony in front of Congress

0:12:59.777 --> 0:13:02.737
<v Speaker 1>that was different than what the Marine Corps told the

0:13:02.777 --> 0:13:07.657
<v Speaker 1>family about the circumstances of their son's death. Yeah, so

0:13:08.537 --> 0:13:15.217
<v Speaker 1>it is. It's a disgrace, is unseerious our enemies. I

0:13:15.617 --> 0:13:18.337
<v Speaker 1>think the reason our enemies haven't acted is because they

0:13:18.377 --> 0:13:22.257
<v Speaker 1>can't fully believe we're as bad as we actually are.

0:13:23.577 --> 0:13:26.817
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I don't understand why g doesn't just

0:13:26.897 --> 0:13:29.897
<v Speaker 1>take Taiwan, like we're gonna stop them.

0:13:29.937 --> 0:13:31.097
<v Speaker 3>Well, I keep saying that.

0:13:31.137 --> 0:13:32.977
<v Speaker 2>You know, I just actually spoke to uh, you know

0:13:33.057 --> 0:13:38.497
<v Speaker 2>Bridge Colby, very very smart guy, you know Elbridge. Yeah, yeah,

0:13:38.537 --> 0:13:40.617
<v Speaker 2>you got you guys should hang because he's uh, you know,

0:13:40.697 --> 0:13:44.177
<v Speaker 2>he's a military strategist, academic, but you know, a really

0:13:44.217 --> 0:13:47.537
<v Speaker 2>sound he knows he knows the info, but also has

0:13:47.577 --> 0:13:50.057
<v Speaker 2>a sound mind about what, you know, what you can

0:13:50.097 --> 0:13:50.417
<v Speaker 2>do with it.

0:13:50.897 --> 0:13:51.057
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:13:51.097 --> 0:13:53.537
<v Speaker 2>And we're talking about the Taiwan thing, and he's like, look,

0:13:54.257 --> 0:13:57.897
<v Speaker 2>they're taking Taiwan, Like that's it's just a question of when.

0:13:57.977 --> 0:14:00.177
<v Speaker 2>Like they're telling us they're going to take Taiwan. They're

0:14:00.217 --> 0:14:02.617
<v Speaker 2>going to take Taiwan, and we have to sit here

0:14:02.617 --> 0:14:05.297
<v Speaker 2>and think, what do we really you know, if that

0:14:05.377 --> 0:14:08.657
<v Speaker 2>call comes, if that happens, well you think a Biden

0:14:08.657 --> 0:14:12.617
<v Speaker 2>administration is gonna understand how to either stop it, de

0:14:12.777 --> 0:14:15.497
<v Speaker 2>escalated or whatever. I mean, they're probably just gonna be like, WHOA,

0:14:15.697 --> 0:14:18.297
<v Speaker 2>let's go to the UN So I think there are

0:14:18.337 --> 0:14:21.537
<v Speaker 2>real there are reasons to believe that that China sees

0:14:22.537 --> 0:14:24.857
<v Speaker 2>a big opening, and especially if you get another Democrat

0:14:24.857 --> 0:14:26.657
<v Speaker 2>administration for four years. But hold on, I want to

0:14:26.657 --> 0:14:30.057
<v Speaker 2>ask you about your book, Kurt. But first up, I mean,

0:14:30.097 --> 0:14:33.817

0:14:33.817 --> 0:14:36.897
<v Speaker 2>the highest possible level, like my man, Kurt Schlickter, you

0:14:37.057 --> 0:14:40.577
<v Speaker 2>got to have the right biochemistry going on. And that's

0:14:40.617 --> 0:14:43.817
<v Speaker 2>what you get from our friends at Chalk. In fact,

0:14:43.817 --> 0:14:45.977

0:14:46.057 --> 0:14:49.817
<v Speaker 2>Chad Mode, because you know, Kurt a bit of a chad.

0:14:50.217 --> 0:14:52.217

<v Speaker 2>one that I think you will really enjoy. Honestly, it's

0:14:58.017 --> 0:14:59.937
<v Speaker 2>the best prework I've ever had. I mean, all jokes

0:14:59.977 --> 0:15:01.617
<v Speaker 2>and kidding around the side, it is the best pre

0:15:01.697 --> 0:15:04.297
<v Speaker 2>workout I've ever tried. The only problem is I get

0:15:04.297 --> 0:15:05.977
<v Speaker 2>so fired up that I'll spend two hours in the

0:15:05.977 --> 0:15:07.697
<v Speaker 2>gym instead of like thirty and then go, you know,

0:15:07.737 --> 0:15:10.377
<v Speaker 2>go home and cry to mommy. I'll spend two hours

0:15:10.417 --> 0:15:12.337

<v Speaker 2>the new year, so it'll be just days away from release.

0:15:46.457 --> 0:15:48.897
<v Speaker 2>Tell me about the book, Kurt, Well.

0:15:48.697 --> 0:15:55.017
<v Speaker 1>Look, after ten seven happened. I I pitched my traditional publisher, hey,

0:15:55.337 --> 0:15:57.817
<v Speaker 1>why don't I write a nonfiction about what a terrorist

0:15:57.817 --> 0:16:01.417
<v Speaker 1>attack in the United States would look like? And the uh,

0:16:01.537 --> 0:16:04.977
<v Speaker 1>you know, my publisher said, uh, why don't you, uh,

0:16:05.057 --> 0:16:07.617
<v Speaker 1>why don't you write it as a novel? And I

0:16:07.777 --> 0:16:10.697
<v Speaker 1>did in about six weeks. It is not a turbul

0:16:10.977 --> 0:16:13.217
<v Speaker 1>it is not a people's Republican novel. It is a

0:16:13.257 --> 0:16:18.417
<v Speaker 1>standalone but it is informed by a lot of people

0:16:18.457 --> 0:16:21.817
<v Speaker 1>I know, from the intelligence community, from politics, from the military.

0:16:22.017 --> 0:16:26.137
<v Speaker 1>It is looks at what a terrorist attack, a massive

0:16:26.217 --> 0:16:28.977
<v Speaker 1>terrorist attack through a southern border, would look like in

0:16:28.977 --> 0:16:31.857
<v Speaker 1>the United States. It talks about our vulnerabilities, it talks

0:16:31.897 --> 0:16:36.137
<v Speaker 1>about our lack of defenses. Buck I had to cut

0:16:36.217 --> 0:16:39.497
<v Speaker 1>stuff out because I didn't want to give these creeps ideas.

0:16:40.097 --> 0:16:46.257
<v Speaker 1>But we were very, very vulnerable. And this book, you know,

0:16:46.897 --> 0:16:50.657
<v Speaker 1>it's entertaining, It is exciting, and it looks at from

0:16:50.777 --> 0:16:54.497
<v Speaker 1>all angles, from individual people to a president of the

0:16:54.577 --> 0:16:59.137
<v Speaker 1>United States who is completely out to lunch. And I

0:16:59.217 --> 0:17:02.297
<v Speaker 1>decided I would release it to Amazon because I want

0:17:02.377 --> 0:17:05.297
<v Speaker 1>to beat this happening. I don't want this to happen

0:17:05.497 --> 0:17:09.097
<v Speaker 1>before the book comes out, so I am It's coming
