WEBVTT - Rep. Mike Waltz - August 30th, Hour 2 0:00:00.920 --> 0:00:04.560 Welcome back to our two of The Sean Hannity Show. 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:05.560 And this is Sarah Carter. 0:00:05.640 --> 0:00:08.400 I can't believe Sean trusted me to sit in the 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:10.959 hot seat here, but here i am. And this is 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:13.240 the place where we don't have smoke and mirrors. This 0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:15.720 is the place where we're actually going to tell you 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:18.720 the truth. And I'm very excited to have Congressman Mike Waltz, 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:21.319 a Florida man who isn't afraid to stand up to 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:24.680 the administration and tell the truth. We've been friends for 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:27.280 a long time. I've known Mike Waltz even before he 0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:30.320 was in Congress. He's a Green Beret. He's part of 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.760 the House Oversight Committee, in the task Force on the 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.839 attempted assassination of Donald J. Trump, which I am so 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:39.400 grateful that he continually fights for because it's like the 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.199 media wants to pretend like that never happened, but we 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.880 almost lost President Trump. That is a terrifying thought. I 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:49.000 mean terrifying. Waltz has a book coming out in October. 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:52.240 I'm really excited about it. It's called Hard Truths, Think 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.080 and Lead like a Green Beret. 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:56.760 Wow. That gave me goosebumps. 0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:58.920 I want to lead like a Green beret, you know, 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:02.880 and today's going to talk to us about everything from walls, 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:07.759 walls not Waltz, remember Walls, who doesn't believe in walls? 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:11.919 You know, Tim Walls, And what's happening right now in Colorado, 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:16.920 which is pretty terrifying with the Aurora, Colorado apartments being 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:22.720 held hostage by of course these Venezuelan gangs, trend Deraga 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:28.000 and all the other trends. Those are gangs from Venezuela 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.760 that are taking over some of our cities. Thank you 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.559 so much, Congressman Waltz for being on this show today. 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:34.800 Great to have you. 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:38.440 Yeah, hey, thanks so much. And just to be extra clear, 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:41.600 it's Waltz with a T. 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:46.399 Yes, Waltz with the tea, not Walls, who doesn't believe 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:46.880 in walls? 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.600 See for Trump? That that's the easy way to to 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.040 remember it. And by the way, yes, I actually did 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.920 retire at the rank of colonel that that I said 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.400 I did, and I have carried a weapon of war 0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:58.000 in war. 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.240 So does it just blow your mind, Congressman, does it 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.920 just blow your mind that now he's coming up with 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:06.600 this excuse and I got to play this clip for 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:10.200 you that he's saying it was his bad grammar, his 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.440 bad grammar that made him say what he said. 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.960 Take a listen to this. The idea that you said 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.440 that you were in war. Did you misspeak? As the 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:19.320 campaign has said. 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.280 Yeah, I said we were talking about in this case, 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:23.720 this was after school shooting the ideas of carrying these 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.600 weapons of war. And my wife the English, she tell 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.640 my grammar's not always correct. But again, if it's not this, 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.320 it's an attack on my children for showing love for me, 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:33.280 or it's an attack. 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:33.600 On my dog. 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:35.320 I'm not going to do that. And the one thing 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.400 I'll never do is I'll never demean another member's service 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.080 in any way. I never have and I never will. 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.680 This has nothing to do with his children or his dog. 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.480 And I'm going to play the clip where he actually 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:47.920 said he was in war, just so we can get 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:48.440 this straight. 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.480 Well, we can do background checks, we can do CDC research, 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.280 we can make sure we don't have reciprocal carry among states, 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.079 and we can make sure that those weapons of war 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.240 that I carried in war is the only place where 0:02:58.240 --> 0:02:59.280 those weapons were. 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.919 He carried him in ward. That's what he said, Congressman, Yeah, 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:04.560 that's what he said. 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:09.520 His grammar was just fine. It was also just fine 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.680 when he said he stood at bagraa Mara base in 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:15.919 Afghanistan and saw flag drape coffins go by. I don't 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.240 think his grammar had anything to do with when he 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:23.640 on his military challenge coin stamped in the rank of 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:27.040 sergeant major. And I don't think Nancy Pelosi or anybody 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:32.079 else's grammar was a problem when they all repeatedly introduced 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:36.480 him as a retired command sergeant major, and he didn't 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.480 correct them at all. He just let it go by. 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:42.120 And you look, sure, we've seen this, you're you're a 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:46.600 spouse of a great American hero. We have seen when people, 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:50.200 maybe they don't say it themselves, but they let everybody assume. 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:54.480 They let people say that you know things about when 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.040 they were in combat, and they never correct him. That's 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:01.160 you know that, It's that quiet backing, the stolen voalor 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.440 he knows he did it, and the media is letting 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:04.360 him get away with it. 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.880 It really exposes somebody's character, lack of character thereof to 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:11.000 do that. And you could hear he was very direct. 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.880 He said he carried those weapons in war. Carried weapons 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:16.800 in war means that you were in war, and I 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:21.360 was at Bogram Airfield. I covered the war. You know that, Congressman. 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.160 I was there in Afghanistan for many years, back and forth. 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.760 I was in Iraq, and I remember standing there at 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:31.760 Bogram Airfield, hearing taps come on and everybody stepping outside 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.919 of their tents and out of the cafeteria or the 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:39.640 defact and standing on the road as those coffins slowly 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:43.440 rolled down the road to make their final journey home, 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.760 and seeing the flag draped across the coffin, and knowing 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:53.720 that mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, wives, husbands would 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:57.599 be greeting their loved one for the last time as 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.520 they arrived to the United States to be to be 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:04.440 laid to rest. There is nothing worse than stolen valor 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.240 in my opinion, And I'm not taking away from the 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.000 time that he served, But you've got to be honest 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.719 about who you are, and when you're not honest about 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.120 who you are, I don't want to trust you in office. 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.880 No, that's right, And you know, at the end of 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:26.120 the day, it is. It is a reflection of someone's character. 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:31.280 Stop conflating. We're not attacking your service, Tim Walls, without 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:36.120 a tee. Yes, we celebrate your service. I celebrate all 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.320 National guardsmen and women you're served, whether he went to 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:39.880 combat or not. But if you're so damn proud of 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:41.800 your service, why did you have to lie about it? 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.400 And he knows why. It was her political game. 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.840 Bengo bango. Now we're going to jump to something that's important, 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.279 because it's not. We're not just going after this. This 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:52.720 is about his character, but we're going to talk about 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.560 the policies that this administration is put in place that 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.480 has put everybody's life in danger. I mean, we sent 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.040 our men and women to fight wars to keep terrorists 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:03.279 out of our country, to keep the wars on the 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.800 other shores, and instead now we have an administration that 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:10.800 opened our borders. Congressmen, you know this wide open had 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:14.520 a policy of open border policy. We have terrorists coming 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:18.320 across our border, criminals coming across our border, children being 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:22.240 trafficked across our border, and our own children are dying 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:25.200 a fetanyl poisoning. And right now there's this huge story. 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:26.400 I mean, all you have to do is look at 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:30.320 what's happening in Colorado with the Aurora, Colorado apartments being 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:31.200 taken over by. 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:36.600 Gangs yeah, no, that's right. And I think folksing to 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:40.120 understand these aren't, you know, your kind of I mean, 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.680 although they were pretty bad in their own right, the 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.279 old kind of bloods and crips or you know, the 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:50.560 gangs of the seventies, eighties, nineties. These trans national criminal 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:55.839 organizations have billions at their disposal. They're making hundreds of millions, 0:06:55.880 --> 0:07:00.120 if not billions, on human trafficking, on massive amounts of 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.440 drugs smuggling. They are armed to the teeth with heavy weapons. 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.520 The gangs and the cartels in Mexico are literally shooting 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:12.320 down Mexican Air Force aircraft and control thirty percent of 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:16.520 the country. It's completely ungoverned space that the army has 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.760 to go in and out. And now we're seeing that 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:22.240 spread into the United States. And if you change the 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:27.080 name of these gangs from Sineloa Jalisco or Trendiagua to 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:32.120 Isis al Qaida, it wouldn't even be a conversation. But 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:37.120 for reasons that just boggle my mind, the progressive left 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.240 just wants to turn a blind eye. I think. I 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.880 guess it's just what they feel is the price they're 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:45.320 going to pay to allow them millions of migrants to 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:50.440 come in that they know are going to change the 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:51.880 United States politically. 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:55.200 They're changing the fabric of our entire nation. I was 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.720 just in El Salvador. I went to Mexico. Then I 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.760 traveled to El Salvador. I met with President at Naibukele. 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.680 He was very gracious. They allowed me to go into 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:07.360 the Setcock prism in prison. It's the maximum security prison, 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:12.560 probably the toughest maximum security prison in the world. That 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.360 prison alone can hold roughly around forty thousand. He has 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:19.200 over eighty thousand people now being held in prisons. That 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.760 prison I walked. I stared face to face with members 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.960 of MS thirteen, with members of Badrio, the Siocho and 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:26.640 other gangs. 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:27.280 These are men. 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.200 Some of them have killed more than thirty people. They've 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:35.880 killed babies, they've killed teenagers, They've beheaded people. They've done 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:40.559 things that I can't even say on national radio, Congressman, 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.439 because it is so horrific. And I looked at them 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.559 in the eyes, and you know what I thought, Congressman. 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.440 A lot of these men were in the United States, 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.920 living among us before they were put in that prison, 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.400 and many of them are still here. 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.679 That's scary, Yeah, that's right, but we know how to 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:03.319 take down that works and takedown organizations. I believe President 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.160 Trump is absolutely right, and I've entered the legislation to 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.600 do so that we're going to need military resources. I'm 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.920 not talking like the left likes to spend this the Marines, 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.800 you know, invading Mexico, But we did this in Colombia. 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:21.680 We took down the Mediine cartel. I'm talking about start 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:26.360 that's right, Pablo Escobar and others start start blocking their 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:30.680 money transfers, start jamming their communications, start going on offensive 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:32.880 cyber and you know what if the leader of these 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.839 organizations are worried about where they're sleeping at night, I'm 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:39.200 okay with that too. This is about serious support to 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:43.560 law enforcement. They don't have cyber and satellite and other 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:47.400 types of assets. We have got to go on offense 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:51.920 before this gets even further out of control, because soon 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:56.559 in the United States, like in Mexico and Central America, 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.640 this is going to eclipse what law enforcement can handle. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.120 Oh, I absolutely agree with you, And this has been 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:03.920 one of the biggest issues I've been covering for the 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:06.120 last twenty years, and I would warn over and over 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:09.360 again every time I broke a story either at the 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.200 front lines on the border or overseas in the war 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.360 zone covering terrorism. It would be like, this is going 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.880 to get worse if we don't mitigate this, because the 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:22.079 problem is, and it already has. These cartels are operating 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.680 with impunity. They can do whatever they want. But when 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:29.320 you have an administration that purposefully, purposefully has opened the 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:32.840 border and has allowed a flood of criminals and has 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:36.880 allowed these cartels to amass hundreds of billions of dollars, 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.400 what are they asking for? Are they asking for us 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:43.600 to become a pseudo shadow narco state, because eventually that 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.839 money is going to be here and it's going to 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:47.280 be used to buy people off. 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:49.320 It's going to be used to control people. 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.120 And you know how difficult that becomes when they weave 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.720 themselves into the government, Because we see that in Mexico 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.040 right now, we're seeing that overseas and it was the 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.600 most difficult part for Nai Bukeley when he had to 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.840 conduct the operation and take all these people into custody. 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.920 No, that is the next step, You're spot on. Next 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:10.959 it's going to be intimidating and then buying off judges, prosecutors, 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:16.079 local officials, city councilmen and women. So once they weave 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.760 into the fabric of our republic, then it is it is. 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:24.440 It's like lanving a cancer metestasize. Right now, we have 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.080 got to nip it in the bud. And if you 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:31.439 think that's going to happen under this new reinvented right 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:35.160 before our eyes, Kamala Harris, you're kidding, You're you're just 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:39.520 absolutely kidding yourself. And we're going to continue to call 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.360 her out for flip flopping left right. 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:43.080 Let's let's call her out for flip flopping. 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:45.000 I keep playing this clip, but it's because I just 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.640 I believe it's important for the American people to hear it. 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.240 And if you're only in the second hour right now 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.520 listening to this, then I'm glad you heard it for 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:54.319 the first time. And if you listen to it through 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.840 the whole show, I'm glad you'll be listening to it 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.560 through the whole show. This is Kamala Harris, and she's 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:03.120 trash Trump and it's her border wall montage. 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:04.840 Take a listen to this. 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:08.600 This issue is about a vanity project for this president, 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:14.600 right and it is a problem of his own making. 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:18.679 And listen, when I travel this country. Folks have plenty 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.440 enough problems that they need their president to focus. 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.319 On instead of a wall. 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:25.720 That, by the way, because I was a prosecutor for 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:28.880 many years, including the Attorney general California, I specialize on 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:34.760 transnational criminal organizations. That wall ain't going to stop them. No, No, 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:39.920 you don't need to build a wall. It's the height 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:45.720 of irresponsibility for the commander in chief to suggest that 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.840 we have to build a wall across our southern border 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:54.160 because there are terrorists who are trying to invade the country. 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.800 It couldn't be farther from the truth. It's the president's 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:02.440 vanity project, you know. I mean, listen, you if we 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:09.599 deconstruct get the punt and deconstruct wall, if we deconstruct 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.920 the issue, you know, let's be clear and again let's 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:17.560 just point to the facts. The crisis we're fading facing 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:18.920 is a crisis of leadership. 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.640 That's the crisis. That's the crisis. 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:23.559 You know. 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:25.680 Congressman, thank you so much for being on the show 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:27.240 with us today. And I just wanted to go over 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.840 that really quick. We had that montage with Kamala Harris. 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.040 I mean, it just goes to show that, you know, 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.120 she is lying. She is lying to the American public. 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.280 The administration is lying to the American public. I'm going 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.480 to be heading off to a break really quick, but 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:42.640 I want to leave the last word to you. 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:44.560 Talk a little bit about your book. Where can we 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:45.800 find it, how can we get it? 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:51.960 Well? Thanks? That clip is painful, But whether right tracking 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:56.440 on healthcare, on cash list bail, on the economy and 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.240 the real irony of her and immigration is the thing 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:02.440 that's dry migration which he was supposed to figure out, 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:08.880 the what's the socialist price controls? Look, my book is 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:14.400 is the life lessons I've learned in combat, whether it's restraint, discipline, persistence. 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:15.600 You know. 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.120 I talk about the lessons that we've learned as a 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:21.120 Green Beret, how Green Berets think differently, and then how 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:22.800 I've applied it to what I think is a much 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.840 more difficult fight. That's the fight in Washington for the 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:27.920 future of our country. And believe me, there are there 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:31.120 are days that I think the tribes of Afghanistan were 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:34.720 easier than dealing with the swamp. And all the proceeds 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.920 go to charity. I'd love for everybody to pick it up. 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.520 It's hard truths, think and lead like a Green Beret 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:40.440 and thanks for raising it. 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.600 Wow, from your lips to God's ears. Everybody hard truth, 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.320 think and lead like a Green Beret. Let's all get 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.800 that book and support something good. I'll see all after 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:52.800 this commercial break, We're back with the Great Sean Hannity. 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:53.800 It's Sarah Carter. 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:55.320 I'm in for my friend. 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.520 Sean Handy on the Sean Hannity Show, and I have 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.920 another excellent guest for all of you. Somebody you can 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.280 talk to you about what has been happening in our 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.960 woke military. Somebody who can put together what has been 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.280 going on on the ground in our communities that are 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:15.240 being tortured and in complete chaos and crisis by illegal 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.640 immigrants that have come into our country that have not 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:21.280 been properly vetted. And somebody who really wants to fight 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:24.960 for you. He is actually Jerry trus He is running 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:28.960 in Virginia's District number eight against Don Byer. It is 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:32.120 a really tough, tough race. He has a former Green Beret, 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.480 a philanthropist, and a great friend. Let me tell you 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:37.280 a little bit about Jerry and why Jerry and I 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:41.880 became friends. Jerry grew up in a military family. His 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.920 father was reassigned to several US Air Force bases from 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:48.680 New York to Washington State and Florida. He has lived 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.000 throughout the world. He ran a security company. He has 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:54.760 fought for our men and women in uniform. And as 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:59.400 you all know, my husband was a former special operator 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:03.560 who was wounded in Afghanistan. He lost his eyesight in 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:08.880 Afghanistan and Eastern Afghanistan in twenty eleven and almost lost 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:11.960 his life. And I have a lot of respect for 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:15.800 those in the military that want to challenge themselves by 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:21.760 going into becoming lawmakers or coming back and giving back 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:25.320 to their communities, and especially people that never stop fighting. 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:25.600 Right. 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.920 So, Jerry could just retire and he could just go 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.960 off into the sunset, play golf, do whatever he wants, 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.600 but he doesn't want to do that. He wants to 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.600 fight for this country and he believes in that so 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:42.000 much so that he is running for Congress. And without 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.600 any delay, I've got Jerry Taurus on the other line. Jerry, 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:46.440 thank you so much for being a part of the 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:48.400 show with me today. 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.280 Hi, Sarah, it's good to be here. 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.160 Yeah, it's great to have you here. 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.640 Talk a little bit about your service and what you 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.080 did in the military, Jerry, because I think your history 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:01.280 is just so phenomenal, and even after leaving the military, 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.679 you were such a successful businessman and running a security 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:06.000 firm as well. 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.840 Yeah. Well, I actually started in the military in the 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.840 seventies just as Vietnam was winding down, and I tried 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:15.560 to join at a time when Vietnam was still going on, 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:18.200 but I was too young, so I did join itre 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:23.280 you Gop. Spent thirty years in the military. I actually 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.760 served on the border with Mexico. Back then about three 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.160 hundred and sixty folks were coming across the border, drug 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:33.359 folks and as well as illegal immigrants, etc. So and 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:36.760 I served in Afghanistan and the Middle East, Africa, Korea on 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:40.080 the DMC and the military so own for folks that 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:42.640 don't know that, but I've served on all the continents, 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:44.400 and I just I tell people, I wasn't a hero. 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.040 I just served faithfully, side by side my fellow American 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:50.280 troops of Wall Branch of service during the times of peace, 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.439 conflict in the war. And I loved it. And I 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:54.399 will tell you this, every time I see somebody in 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:58.640 the uniform, I feel that great you know, charge of pride, 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:00.600 and I want to put on my unim and see 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:02.200 if I can get back out there on the field, 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:06.200 whether it's saluting some senior officer or getting back out 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:11.760 there and gutting a weapon, and you know, keeping freedom free. 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:14.119 You know, Jerry, you and I have spent a lot 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:17.280 of time talking about, you know, what's happened inside our 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:20.960 own military, and it's been, you know, one of it's 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:25.040 been pretty gut wrenching to watch how ideology has pushed 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:29.120 this very woke agenda inside our military and what it's 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:32.560 done to our soldiers. Talk a little bit about that, 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:34.119 and then I want to play this cut in a 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:39.280 moment of Walls basically coming up with excuses for his 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.320 stolen valor lies. But first I want you to fill 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.359 us in a little bit about how you feel about 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:45.840 this woke agenda in the military. 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:47.040 Do you feel it's harming us? 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:48.399 Oh? 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.480 Absolutely. You know, if you take a look at the 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:53.600 normal military day, you know, we're up at five, we 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:55.959 do our physical training, we go each ow and then 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.639 we're back to work and we worked until late. We 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:01.880 very rarely have weekends, particularly those that are deployed around 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:04.480 the world. So if you think about this, we need 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:07.560 every minute of our twenty four hour day to be 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:14.120 effective troops. When you introduce CRT into the mix, you're 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:19.040 actually taking time away away from the time the troops 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:21.879 need to prepare themselves for battle. But not only that, 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:24.760 but you're putting doubt in the minds of the people. 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:28.679 So you're supposed to fight an enemy and defeat and 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:32.480 you know, an adversary as a unified team in the 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:38.639 heat of armed conflict. ALLRD does CRT does is divide 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:42.199 the minds and the hearts and the camaraderie of the 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:45.560 troops that's side by side with you holding a weapon 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:49.040 and hoping to defend your ford operating base or wherever 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:53.159 you happen to be deployed to overseas. And that's happening today. 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:55.040 It's absolutely crazy. 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.840 It's astonishing to me because I can see the frustration 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:00.360 with the Special Operators and I talked to a lot 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:02.960 of them and with soldiers people in the National Guard 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.280 that are like, what is going on with this administration? 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:07.080 I want to play this cut. 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:10.959 This is Tim Walls, and this is about misspeaking about 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:13.840 being in the war. And you got to hear what 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:15.760 he has to say. He says it was his grammar 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:18.359 that led him in that direction. Listen to this, the 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:21.080 idea that you said that you were in war, did 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:22.760 you misspeak as the campaign has said. 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:24.720 See I said we were talking about in this case, 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:27.200 this was after school shooting, the ideas of carrying these 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:30.160 weapons of war, and my wife the English up telling 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:33.119 my grammar's not always correct. But again, if it's not this, 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:35.840 it's an attack on my children for showing love for me, 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:37.919 or it's an attack on my dog. I'm not going 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:39.399 to do that. And the one thing I'll never do 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:42.680 is I'll never demet another member's service in any way. 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:44.640 I never have and I never will. 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:48.280 Well, it certainly wasn't his grammar, Jerry, it certainly wasn't 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:51.240 his grammar. He's looking for excuses right now. Stolen valor 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:54.880 reflects a lot about a person's character. And you know, 0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:57.240 and I don't take away from the fact that he 0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:00.159
