1 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: Cuba, freedom, appreciating what you have and wanting that for others. 2 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about all that tonight. And I'm right, beautiful, 3 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: isn't it beautiful? What you're witnessing there is the people 4 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: of Cuba flocking into the streets protesting their disgusting communist government. 5 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: They're tired of the shortage and medical supplies, they're tired 6 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: of the shortage of food, and they are protesting in 7 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: the street. And why is that awesome? Well, there are 8 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: about a million reasons, but one first and foremost. That 9 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: takes guts. They're not in Texas, they're not in Florida, 10 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: they're not in South Dakota. They're in Cuba. Every single 11 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: person you see and that video knows they risk their lives, 12 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: their wealth, the lives of their family members, the lives 13 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: of their children who come after them by standing in 14 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: that street and protesting the government. That takes guts. That 15 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: takes real courage. So before we get into all the 16 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: rest of this here, let's just say this. Pray for 17 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: the people of Cuba. Say a prayer, maybe right now, 18 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,639 Speaker 1: maybe after the show, say a bunch of them. Pray 19 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: for the people of Cuba. They have lived under communist 20 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: depression for a long, long, long, long time. And I 21 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: want them to be free, not what does that mean? 22 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: I want them to be free. Well, we don't need 23 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: to get involved, certainly in no overt kind of way. 24 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: If we want to throw a little cash here or 25 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: maybe nudge something along here, fine, We need to do 26 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: something that America hasn't done in a very very very 27 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: long time, and something America needs to start doing again. 28 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: Mind our own business. America needs to vocally support the 29 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: Cubans and then mind our own business. And I understand 30 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: this need. I understand where we went awry with our 31 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: foreign policy. There's this need because you have values. You do. 32 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: I don't, but you do because you have values. When 33 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: you see the downtrodden, you see the oppressed, anywhere you're 34 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 1: tempted to do something or want to do something, let 35 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: them go earn their own freedom. We were founded. Our 36 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: nation was founded. Go read George Washington's farewell address when 37 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: he left. It was founded on leaving everybody alone. Vow 38 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 1: your head, say a prayer for the Cubans where you can, 39 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: where there are possibilities, and I will keep you updated 40 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: on this as soon as I verify things where there 41 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: are possibilities to give charitably or privately, Yes, do it. 42 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: I plan on getting involved in that way myself if 43 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: the opportunities arise. Do we need to go sending the 44 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: Marines into Cuba? Absolutely not allow them to go fight 45 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: for and earn their own freedom. So what's happening, Well, 46 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: the communists are cracking down on these protesters already, as 47 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: we predicted. This always happens because the locals, they're more 48 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: than just channing in the street. They're taking over the 49 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: local communists offices. Now, I don't have a crystal ball. 50 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: Maybe this all gets crushed and cracked down by tomorrow. 51 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: But when you're storming into the local communist office and 52 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: taking control of it that now has gotten into a 53 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: whole new realm, you're deadly, deadly serious. I don't know 54 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: that the Cuban government has the power to stop this 55 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: as fast as they want this stopped, and they do 56 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: want it stopped. How do I know that they're shutting 57 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: off the internet. You're not gonna see that many more 58 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: videos floating around online about what's happening in Cuba, because, 59 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: like all communists, they decided to censor what you can 60 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: see on the internet. Does any of that sound familiar. 61 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: Let's set Cuba aside for a moment. Does any of 62 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: it sound familiar? When I say, there are people out 63 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: there who look and they say, I don't like that movement. 64 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: I don't like the things they're saying. In fact, the 65 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: things they're saying could be potentially harmful to my regime. 66 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: The things I want, you know what, I think we'll 67 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: make sure nobody can see it. I mean, not that 68 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: that kind of thing would ever happen here, right, Not 69 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 1: that a major publication like the New York Post would 70 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: put out an absolutely damning article about the potential president's 71 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: son and his dirty business dealings, and then everybody from 72 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: the media to big tech would just decide that you're 73 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: not allowed to see that information until after the election. 74 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: What if I've been telling you about America's communists. I've 75 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: told you time and time and time and time again, 76 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you again, don't think that the communists 77 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: are just down in Cuba. They're right here, and if 78 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: they had their way, you would never be allowed to 79 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: see an opinion they don't agree with, and you certainly 80 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't be allowed to voice an opinion they don't agree 81 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: with you see what's happening with those starving people down there. 82 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: Don't let it happen here. So anyway, their dictator, although 83 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, President Miguel Diazcanal called for the sympathizers of 84 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: communism to get into the streets. He's openly calling pretty 85 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: much for violence to quote is quote, the order to 86 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: fight has been given into the street revolutionaries. He said, well, 87 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:03,799 Speaker 1: that's funny, into the street evolutionaries. So a political leader 88 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: is encouraging people to get in the streets and commit 89 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: acts of violence. I mean again, thank goodness, that could 90 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: never ever ever happen here. It's not as if the 91 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: Vice President of the United States of America posted to 92 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: her social media account a bail fund for the people 93 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: who burned down Minneapolis. Getting uncomfortable now, isn't it getting 94 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: uncomfortable now? Oh? And while I'm on the subject, before 95 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: I move on to everything else here, those people are 96 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: going to go to jail. A lot of those people 97 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: you see, sadly you are going to go to jail. 98 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: I hope not, but that's usually how these things go. 99 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: They're probably going to go to jail for a long 100 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: time without trial for a political protest that got a 101 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: little too spicy. Thank goodness, that kind of thing can't 102 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: happen here. I don't know. Maybe you should talk to 103 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: some of the protesters from the January sixth protests who 104 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: are still rotting in federal prison. You know, things like 105 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,559 Speaker 1: that again can't happen here. Where does the White House 106 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: stand on all this stuff? Well, I'm glad you asked 107 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: the White House Assistant Press Secretary Julie Chung. She had 108 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: this to say by tweet quote, Peaceful protests are growing 109 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: in Cuba as the Cuban people exercise their right to 110 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: peaceful assembly to express there to express concern about rising 111 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: COVID cases, slash deaths, and medicine shortages. We commend the 112 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: numerous efforts of the Cuban people mobilizing donations to help 113 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: neighbors in need. Then Twitter went out and also said 114 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: it was about COVID awareness. What have I told you 115 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: time and time and time and time again. You're probably 116 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: already saying it because you know I'm about to say 117 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: it to you. None of what you see is real nothing. 118 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: Everything the system tells you is a lie. They lie, 119 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: and then they lie about the lies, and then they 120 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: lie about lying about the lies, and then they demand 121 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: you say their lies are truths, or they cracked down 122 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: on you. The Democratic Party, the media, Hollywood professors, sports 123 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: America's corporations. You won't see them do what they would 124 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: have done even thirty years ago. Twenty years ago, they 125 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: see twenty thirty years ago, Democrat Party and Republican Party 126 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: would be vocally out there cracking down on the communists, 127 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: rooting for these people. What you'll see now is a 128 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: bunch of ignoring it. Or five, it's about COVID. Did 129 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: you get your vaccine yet? I hope you got your 130 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: vaccine yet. If you didn't get your vaccine, everyone's gonna die. 131 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: We might mandate you're gonna get the vaccine. We'll come 132 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: door to door. As our own president said recently, Senator 133 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: Marco Ruby always happened to see him come out and 134 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: actually take a stance on it. This is not just 135 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: about COVID. Yeah, of course, COVID is the icing on 136 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: the cake here, because you've got a socialist regime that 137 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: says to people, you have no freedom, you have no independence, 138 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: you have no ability to speak freely, but you have 139 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: a really good healthcare system. They don't. People are dying 140 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: at their home and their homes. Their healthcare system is 141 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: not this great system. And of course COVID has a 142 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: role to play, but this began well before COVID. These 143 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: people are frustrated. They want to live in a normal country. 144 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: They don't want to have their kids getting on rafts 145 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: and having to leave the country in order to lead 146 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: normal lives. So why can't the State Department, Why can't 147 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: the White House just say it clearly, this is not 148 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: about COVID, This is not about anything else. This is 149 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: about freedom. Say it. They're gonna lie, They're gonna lie 150 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: to you consistently about everything. We cannot let them lie. 151 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: This is why we have to crack down on the 152 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: right right when the system starts to to tell lies. 153 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: I hate to bring up old stuff, but I'm gonna 154 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: bring it up, especially now. Right when the system decided 155 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: COVID was going to slaughter millions of Americans and we 156 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: all had to go home and kill the economy or 157 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: everyone was gonna die, it was the right who caved too, Republicans, 158 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: conservative pundits, conservative politicians. Right when George Floyd died of 159 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: the right, Oh, the cops are rights is hunting down 160 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: blackmen time after time after time, the right will surrender 161 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: this narrative early on the right cannot do this. You must, 162 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 1: if you were on the right, you must be the 163 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: one place people can go for truth, for real hard truths. 164 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: And look, what do we get? I mean, what are 165 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: we going to get in this country? Where are we 166 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: at in this country? This stuff doesn't just take place 167 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: in Cuba. Did you see what the FBI put up 168 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: over the weekend. The FBI put up a tweet over 169 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: the weekend telling you to report your family members quote, 170 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 1: learn how to spot suspicious behaviors and report them to 171 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: the FBI. Notice the little red characters in there too. 172 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: You see, you need to become very, very very worried 173 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: right now if you're on the right. Not just about Cuba, 174 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: you need to be worried about your own country becoming Cuba, 175 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: because we are right there. There's no check on the 176 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: left at this point in time. None. They have the House, 177 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: they have the Senate, they have the presidency, they have 178 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: half the Republican Party, if we're being honest, They have 179 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: all the three letter agencies who are spying on you 180 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: and able to destroy your life. They have entertainment, they 181 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: have education, they have sports, to have the corporations, they 182 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: have half the churches. We are right there, and I'm 183 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 1: telling you something right now. I know this may hurt, 184 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: but hear me out. If you think these people in 185 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: our country won't hurt you to get you to comply 186 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: the same way they do in Cuba, you're very, very 187 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 1: very naive. Their entire communist religion is based on destruction 188 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: and domination. If they're able to do so, these people 189 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: will do anything and everything to you. Now, we have 190 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: a great show for you tonight. We're gonna talk a 191 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: little bit about Afghanistan coming up. You see, some generals 192 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 1: and some people responsible for Afghanistan have some strong opinions 193 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: about US leaving Afghanistan, and as you may imagine, I 194 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: have some thoughts. All that may have made you uncomfortable, 195 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: but I'm right now. Let's talk for a moment about 196 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: home title theft, because so many people don't even know 197 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: that it exists. The truth is, if you own a home, 198 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: your home is actually your biggest financial vulnerability because of 199 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: these cyber crooks. They're out there stealing home titles and 200 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: ruining lives. Listen to this guy. Nobody thinks that I 201 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: can take their house and borrow against the house. No, No, 202 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: I have title insurance for that. No, it's it's in 203 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: my name. Or he would have to get some special document. 204 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: They would call me. You know what, he's calling you 205 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: after I've stolen the title, barred against it, or sold 206 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: the property, or done whatever I've done with it. It's 207 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: sixty to ninety days even figure out that they're the 208 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: victim of this crime. You know. By that point you 209 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: start getting foreclosure notices and you realize you've got four 210 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: mortgages on your house. Not only that, you don't even 211 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: own your home anymore. It's not even in your name. 212 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: Don't let it happened to you. If it happens to you, 213 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: they really vict you, or you'll spend tens of thousands 214 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: of dollars on lawyer fees. Or you could just go 215 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: get home title. Luck they'll detect any tampering and shut 216 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 1: it down like that.

We'll be back. You know what the most 220 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: necessary thing in the world is, while also oftentimes being 221 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: the hardest thing in the world, accountability I hate it. 222 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: I mean for myself. Don't get me wrong, I'd love 223 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: it for you and him and her and everyone else 224 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: is not myself. There's a major screw up, something I've 225 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: done wrong. I'm a human being. I don't like looking 226 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: in the mirror and saying that's on you, pal. But 227 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: accountability is necessary, ness acessary. If I gain fifteen pounds 228 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: and turn into a wad of chewed up bubblegum, it's 229 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: important that I take accountability for it myself. That's part 230 00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: of the frustration I have with Afghanistan. It's part the 231 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: frustration I have with all these scumbag politicians and these 232 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: scumbag generals. Two twenty years, twenty years of American blood 233 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: and American dollars, the architects of all of it, of 234 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: all that failure, Not one, not one has stepped up 235 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: and said, you know, I gotta be honest kind of 236 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: on me. If I had to do it over again, 237 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: I would have done a lot of things differently. This 238 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: is my fault. Not one has stepped up and said that, 239 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: how was that possible? How is it humanly possible? This 240 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: many people can get away with this kind of massive 241 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: failure and simply walk away. I saw this guy hr 242 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: McMaster said over the weekend. This is what he said. 243 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: Prospects of collapse in Afghanistan are increasing. The Taliban offensive 244 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: in the north is to prevent a new anti Taliban 245 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: Northern Alliance. Many a DSF forces are demoralized, SF and 246 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: commandos are becoming exhausted. Yeah, Afghanistan's loss. We went there 247 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: for twenty years to get Asama bin Laden and to 248 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: get the Taliban who were harboring a Sama bin Laden. 249 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: After twenty years, we pulled out and the Taliban are 250 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: taking over the country. In about thirty five seconds, Why 251 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: is hr McMaster getting online complaining about the Taliban taking over? 252 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: And why is he not getting online saying, oh, you know, 253 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: probably partially my fault. Look, I realized there's a lot 254 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: of blame to go around. Looks like we didn't do 255 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: any of the right things while we were there. Why 256 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: do we never have that kind of accountability? Remember the cost? 257 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: Remember the Afghanistan papers when they came out. I want 258 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: you to remember this because it was shocking me because 259 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 1: it was the Washington Post, maybe the greatest piece of 260 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: journalism ever, and they got memory holding about five seconds. 261 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: Do you remember this two trillion dollars. That's the cost 262 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan two trillion, and that dump two hundred and 263 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 1: forty one thousand lives lost, twenty four hundred of which 264 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: were American, over twenty thousand Americans wounded. When's the last 265 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: time you were at a VA hospital? When's the last 266 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: time you were at a VA hospital. I sadly pop 267 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 1: in from time to time to do various things. You 268 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: know what hit me because when I first got out 269 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: of the Marine Corps, it was two thousand and four 270 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: and I had to go to the VA. You always 271 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: have to go for checkups and get things done. And 272 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: you'd walk through the VA hospital and everyone was old, 273 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: all those old timers, you know, the great ones with 274 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: the World War two vent had on and the Vietnam 275 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: vent had on, and you go joke around with the 276 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: old timers in there. Go walk through a VA hospital today. 277 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: They're not all old anymore. A lot of them look 278 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 1: like me, only they don't have legs, They're missing arms, 279 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: horrible facial disfigurement, some of them are paralyzed. I'm not 280 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: saying this because I'm trying to blow you away with 281 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: the gore or the cost. I'm saying this because don't 282 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: all of those men and women deserve some accountability from 283 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 1: the people who screwed it all up. I don't need 284 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: platitudes from hr McMasters on Twitter about how bad Afghanistan is. 285 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: I know how bad Afghanistan is. It's been bad, oh forever. 286 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: That's not news. What I want from hr McMaster, what 287 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: I want from all of them, Bush, Obama, you name it. 288 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: This is not democratic republican. Do you know what I 289 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: want from all of them? I want give me one 290 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: person who's man enough to step up and say it's 291 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: my fault. It was a mistake, it shouldn't have happened. 292 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: I won't hold my breath though. Now, speaking of accountability, 293 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 1: I know timeshares are popular, nothing wrong with that.

It's at record levels with nobody being prosecuted, except, 314 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: of course, innocent Republicans are being prosecuted. The Democrats know 315 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: their policies are on crime are so unpopular, so radical, 316 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: so crazy. They are now trying to pretend they never 317 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: led to defund the police movement in the first place. 318 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: This information joining us now to talk about that. As 319 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: Sean sticks Larson, he's the author of the book Breaking Blue, 320 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:07,479 Speaker 1: Real Life Stories of cops falsely accused Sean, Thank you 321 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: one for writing a book like this, because it blows 322 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: me away how quickly the anti cop title wave swept 323 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: through the United States of America last year. I understand 324 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 1: people who have an issue with this incident or that incident, 325 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: all that's fine, but it was I know, it wasn't universal. 326 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: It felt universal. The country just decided the cops were 327 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: the bad guy. It was the most bizarre thing in 328 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: the world to watch. It was, and you know, it's 329 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 1: it's been the topic to jump on for the past year. 330 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: You know that to dislike the police has been the 331 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 1: cool thing to do. Both in the public. We've seen 332 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: it obviously. We've seen athletes, musicians, actors and actresses, politicians, 333 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: you know, for their own their own agendas and things 334 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: like that. But the book that I wrote actually had 335 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,719 Speaker 1: been completed just prior to COVID, So it's just coincidence 336 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: we're able to finally get it out after what's happened 337 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: in the past year. But it actually had nothing to 338 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: do with what had happened in the past year. Did 339 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: you feel this back when the back when you were serving, 340 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: did you feel this as an anti cops sentiment rising 341 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,959 Speaker 1: or is this something the media manufactured and then ginned 342 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: up in everybody you know. Listen. I was a copier 343 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: in Tulsa for twenty four and a half years, and 344 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: my entire career I've pretty much spent in what's called 345 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: the northern portion of our city, which is primarily where 346 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: our criminal street gangs and things like that. So for 347 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: those watching and listening, yes, we do have violent street 348 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: gangs here untils Oklahoma. We also have running water in 349 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: the internet and so forth. But yeah, hey, trust me, 350 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: it's people kind of laugh about it. But Tulsa and 351 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: this is not something to brag about, but for populations 352 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: under five hundred thousand, which we're just under, we kind 353 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: of historically rank as the number one most violent city 354 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: in the country, and we beat some of these major 355 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: cities as far as the number of homicides that happened 356 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: each year. My day to day interactions out with people, 357 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: I would say, no, you know, the bad guys that 358 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 1: we deal with, the people that live in these communities 359 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: that are plagued by that type of vince, they're grateful 360 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: and appreciative that we're out there. The way the media 361 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: has spun this thing though in the past year, and 362 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: unfortunately a lot of people I think are very they 363 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: choose to be very uneducated and they just jump on 364 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: the bandwag and a roll with it. Sean explain to me. 365 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to get two sidetracked, but 366 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: I am curious why this about Tulsa. I mean, it's 367 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: not I mean, Tulsa is a big city. It's a 368 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: great city, by the way, but it's big enough to 369 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: have some crime, but to have a worse problem than 370 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: other cities its size. It is weird. It's freaking in Oklahoma. Why, 371 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: you know, I wish I had an answer for you. 372 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. Um. You know one thing, if anybody 373 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: watches you know, LIPD, obviously you know it was a 374 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: huge hit. Tulsa Police Department was featured on there the 375 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: first forty eight, which still still airs to this day. 376 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: It features our homicide unit fairly regularly, and we actually 377 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: have one of the highest, you know, homicide salt rates 378 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: in the country. I think we're average like ninety two 379 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: or ninety four percent a year, which is you know, 380 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: if you look at the national average. I mean, it 381 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: blows it away. But it's the same type of thing 382 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 1: that happens in any other city. You know, you've got 383 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: a lot of bad guys out here that manage to 384 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: get to get firearms in their hands, and small little 385 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: disputes turned into shootings. You know. I think just last 386 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: night here and tuls we had four different people shot overnight. 387 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: So it's just it's a daily deal, unfortune a lot 388 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: of these cities across the country. Well, Sean, you're not alone, 389 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: because I'm looking at murder rates here. Portland's up three 390 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty six percent, Minneapolis up forty five percent, 391 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: Atlanta is up thirty six, Philly thirty five, La twenty four. 392 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 1: And Sean, it's not just it's not just the percentage 393 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: is up because you could you could maybe argue that, okay, 394 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: well that's going to happen after a year of this 395 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: idiotic defund the police stuff. So it's not just that 396 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: for me, Sean, is that these cities don't look like 397 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: they're reversing course. It looks like they're circling the drain 398 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: pretty fast. Yeah, you know, and obviously there's been a 399 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 1: lot of conversations about the number of police officers that 400 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: are leaving the profession right now for one reason or another. 401 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: You know, I said, I myself just retired I think 402 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: seven weeks ago, And the more we keep seeing that happen, 403 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: the more officers that are walking away from this job. 404 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: Because when I first came on, you know, obviously there's 405 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: a fear of physically being hurt or killed. But you know, 406 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: I know you you'reself served in the Marine Corps. You 407 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: can't do these type of jobs having that fear in 408 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: the forefront of your mind. You just can't, is it there? 409 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: Of course, So we're not fearful today of getting hurt 410 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: or getting killed the lion duty. We're fearful of being 411 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: that guy that has his name that smeared across the 412 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: media's passed through social media that people are threatening your 413 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 1: family and so forth because you did you were involved 414 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: in an incident that you were still one hundred percent justified. 415 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: Yet people are still protesting, you know, athletes are putting 416 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: your next and putting a picture of you out there 417 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: when you've done an amazing job. So it's a it's 418 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: a really tough time right now. The crime rate that 419 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: we're seeing. Unfortunately, I think we're going to continue to 420 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: see it for a few more years until it finally 421 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: makes that turn and people have just had enough and 422 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: then they get back behind law enforcement. Some of these 423 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: cities that are suffering will start putting money into hiring 424 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: guys again and getting them back out on the streets. Sean, 425 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: A concern I've had. You brought up the retirements. A 426 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: concern I've had, and please tell me if I'm wrong 427 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: on this, is that who you're going to lose are 428 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,199 Speaker 1: the best officers, the smart talented people, because smart talented 429 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: people have options, they don't have to get dragged through 430 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: the mud every day. And you're going to be stuck 431 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: with a bunch of big city police departments that are 432 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: full of turns, either inexperienced rookies or losers who can't 433 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: do anything else. And then you are going to have 434 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: a corrupt, bad police department because all the talent left absolutely, 435 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: you know, in addition to the people leaving again. I 436 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: know it's been talked about, but the difficulty that this 437 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: profession is having right now getting people hired. You know, 438 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: here in Tulsa, we required a bachelor's degree since nineteen 439 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: ninety seven, and we were actually the first large city 440 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 1: that did require that. And not to say a bachelor's 441 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: degree makes somebody a better police officer than anybody else. 442 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 1: But because we require degree, it's a smaller pool that 443 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 1: we can pick from. We have a sales safety tax 444 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: here that allows us to run three police academies a year. 445 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: The last academy they had twelve qualified candidates for academy 446 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: class of threw and so they decided not to have 447 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 1: the academy and you know, they're putting it off now 448 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: until around the first of the year, and that type 449 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 1: of thing again, it's happening across the country. You know. 450 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: Whereas it one time you're taking that top five percent 451 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: of applicants are going to be the guys that get 452 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: into a police academy just to field vacancies. Now it's 453 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 1: dropping down in a thirty and forty percent. And so, 454 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 1: like you said, you're going to have people that I 455 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't they necessarily say shouldn't be in the profession, but 456 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: they're not the most qualified that are getting in. And 457 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: you're going to start to see that happen. How'd you 458 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: get the nickname sticks Man? I don't know if we're 459 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:03,719 Speaker 1: a family oriented show here, it's uh, I did keep okay, well, 460 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: we'll keep it PG when I'll do my internship with 461 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: the police department. I was a college kid here in Tulsa, 462 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 1: and I wrote every Friday and Saturday night with these 463 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: guys in a unit called Footbeat, which kind of handled 464 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: the drug and gang problem in the projects and here 465 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 1: in Tulsa, and I was twenty one and real hockey. 466 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: And they got in a car chase. A guy bailed 467 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: out of the car they were chasing. Again, I was 468 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: a college kid. I had a ballistic vest underneath a 469 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: T shirt and a flashlight and I jumped out the 470 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: car and chase this guy down, this gangster, and I 471 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: ended up tackling them. One of the other officers caught 472 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: up to me and told me, good job, but he says, 473 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: you can't do that, bleep stick. So basically had a 474 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: good game to carry me through the rest of my career. 475 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: So they kind of modified it. Once I got in 476 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: the police academy, the same guy was one of the 477 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: firearms instructors, and he started just calling me sticks. So 478 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: it's kind of where it came from. The book is 479 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: called Breaking Blue, Real Life Stories of Cops Falsely Accused. Sean, 480 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: I want people to buy the book of Police, give 481 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,719 Speaker 1: me at least one of these stories. Man. First of all, 482 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: I've got my own story in there. I'm not going 483 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: to go into a whole lot of detail about that. 484 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: It takes up pretty much a third of the book. 485 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: But back in twenty ten, there was a police corruption 486 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: investigation here in Tulsa, and all these bad guys were 487 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: basically being told by FBI agents US Attorney's office, Hey, 488 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: if you've got information on cops or you know about 489 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: a dirty cop, we can either one dismiss your case 490 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: or even get you out of jail. For guys that 491 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: were in jail or in prison, so bad guy mentality, 492 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: these guys lie on everybody. They started just dropping officers names, 493 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: and lo and behold, these guys started to getting released 494 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: in prison left and right, and my name got drugged 495 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: through the mud come court. I was actually never charged. 496 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: I was labeled as an unindited co conspirator, but my 497 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: name got dragged through the media and these guys that 498 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: lied about it, it it was completely blown out of the 499 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: water once they ever took took the stand, and there 500 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: was no repercussions for it. That's a major problem you 501 00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: know that I see going on in cross the country. 502 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: But cop makes a scribner's air in a report or says, hey, 503 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: you know the guy was going fifty five and his 504 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: dash camp shows fifty. They're accusing these cops of being 505 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: liars and they're getting drugged through the mud, whereas we 506 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: have bad guys lying about the police all the time 507 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: and they're not held accountable. But another one that really 508 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: stuck out was there was a cop that was convicted 509 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: of a murder for a woman he was having an 510 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: affair with. He denied having the affair, there was no 511 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: physical evidence that tied him to the scene. He still 512 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: gets convicted in a trial and spend seven years in 513 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: prison until the actual murder came forward on his own 514 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: because he felt bad that this guy was in prison. 515 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: So the book is filled with different stories cops I've 516 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: spoken to across the country, from one extreme to another, 517 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: where they've been falsely accused of something that they did 518 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: not do wrong, yet nobody's held accountable. Sean sticks Larson. 519 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: His book is Breaking Blue, Real life stories of cops 520 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: falsely accused. Highly recommended.

Is agreeing to voter ID 537 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: one of those compromises that you'd support. I don't think 538 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:22,479 Speaker 1: that we should underestimate what that could mean, because in 539 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: some people's mind that means, well, you're gonna have to 540 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: xerox our photocopy your idea to send it in to 541 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: proof who you are who you are. Well, there are 542 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: a whole lot of people, especially people who live in 543 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: rural communities, who don't there's no kink goes. There's no 544 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: office MAX near them. People have to understand that when 545 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: we're talking about voter id laws, be clear about who 546 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: you have in mind and what would be required of 547 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: them to prove who they are. Of course people have 548 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 1: to prove who they are, but not in a way 549 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: that makes it them almost impossible for them to prove 550 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: who they are. These people were so dumb. Joining me 551 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: now is Buddy how Lambert. He is the CEO of 552 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: point Bridge Capital, also the former Ted Cruz National Finance chair. 553 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: How I have so much I could say about that. 554 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: But is she not just the worst politician ever? I 555 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: mean I could at least respect that Barack Obama was 556 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: a good politician, Bill Clinton was. She sucks. No, she's 557 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: not very good issue. I mean, I love, all of 558 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 1: a sudden the concern for rural voters, right, I mean, 559 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: the rural voters voted for Trump, So now all of 560 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: a sudden she's very concerned about Trump voters. I mean, 561 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: give me a break. All this really is is any 562 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: type of voter identification that makes it difficult to mass 563 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: produce ballots and harvest ballots for mass of voting by fraud. Effectively, 564 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: they're going to be against So if you have to 565 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: write a driver's license number on something, if you have 566 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: to do any kind of something that makes it more 567 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: difficult to create mass some amounts of voter harvesting or ide, 568 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: you know, ballot harvesting, that's they're gonna be against it. 569 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: That's it. And by the way, it shows how out 570 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: of touch she is to say that rule voters would 571 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: have to go to an office, Max. I mean, first 572 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,399 Speaker 1: of all, you can get photos at Walmart, all right, 573 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: and in fact, you don't even have to go into Walmart. 574 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: You can upload your photo and have it printed and 575 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: mail to you for nine cents. Jesse, it costs nine 576 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: cents to get a photocopy at Walmart and you don't 577 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: even have to go into the store. So she doesn't 578 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: even know what she's talking about because she's completely out 579 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: of touch with almost all parts of America. How I 580 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 1: need you to explain this to me, because you're obviously 581 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 1: a very successful man in the private business world. So 582 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 1: many of these people, like especially the DC in New 583 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: York people, how do they get that out of touch? 584 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: You and I have hung out together personally multiple times. 585 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: You're not You're not exactly you know, some out of work, Bumpkin, 586 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: Why are they that out of touch that they never 587 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: talk to a real person. I think they never really 588 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,799 Speaker 1: talk to real people. I mean they're surrounded by handlers. 589 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Joe Biden's been in the swamp 590 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: now for fifty years, you know, and then when he 591 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 1: got out of office for the brief period he wasn't 592 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: in office, what did he do? He all he did 593 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: was travel around and get paid to give speeches. And 594 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just not real work. It's not real world. 595 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,720 Speaker 1: They're not having to do it. They're not creating jobs, 596 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,320 Speaker 1: they're not doing anything like that. So they are completely 597 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: out of touch. And it is a good question. How 598 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: does it happen? I think it just happens because they 599 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: choose to let it happen that way. They think by 600 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: going to a town hall and spending you know, twenty 601 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 1: minutes with the people to answer some questions, that that 602 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,439 Speaker 1: keeps them in touch with reality when they're not. I mean, 603 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: she probably hasn't been into a store to buy a 604 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: product in a decade, Kamala Harris probably hasn't gone into 605 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: a store to buy a product in a decade. Okay, look, obviously, 606 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 1: taking politics out of it, but for anybody, because I 607 00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 1: know we have a bunch of successful people who watched 608 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 1: the show. Being in a bubble and being out of 609 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: touch is death for any business or politician. How do 610 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 1: you avoid it? Well, I have, you know what, I 611 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 1: have a lot of the same friends I grew up with. 612 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: I grew up, I grew up in a middle class background, 613 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 1: and I still have the same friends that I grew 614 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: up with, and I have new friends as well. But 615 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 1: you know, I just make it a point to know 616 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: what's going on. And I'm very involved with being out 617 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,399 Speaker 1: where normal people go and normal people do things. So 618 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,839 Speaker 1: I choose not to remain in a bubble. And by 619 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: the way, I do also realize when I'm at certain 620 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: places that it's not the real world. I mean, I 621 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 1: know when I'm in an environment where it's a lot 622 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 1: of wealthy people and there's and there's a situation that 623 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,760 Speaker 1: you know, to beach hotel resort, that's not the real world. 624 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 1: That's not real America. And I'm very aware of that. Okay, 625 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: I do want to play this clip of Donald Trump 626 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,760 Speaker 1: hammering on Joe Biden. Watch this. Who would have thought 627 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,839 Speaker 1: this could have happened? Even Bernie Sanders is saying, I 628 00:36:54,920 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 1: never thought this could happen. He's mild by comparison. In 629 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 1: a matter of mere months, Joe Biden has brought our 630 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,800 Speaker 1: country to the brink of ruin. Right here in Texas, 631 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: we are the epicenter of a voter and migration crisis 632 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 1: unlike anything anyone has ever seen before in the history 633 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: of our country. At the same time, they have totally 634 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: obliterated your energy industry. I told you how He's right. 635 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: He did tell us A lot of people were saying that. 636 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,760 Speaker 1: I know you were saying that. I certainly was as well. 637 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 1: My question to you is the American people. Do you 638 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 1: think there are middle of the road voters out there 639 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: who voted for Joe Biden and are genuinely taking accountability 640 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: for it. Well, I think they may be secretly taking 641 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: accountability in their own mind. I don't know if they're 642 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,720 Speaker 1: going to publicly say there that they made a mistake, 643 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: but I think we're gonna see the mid terms, you know, 644 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 1: rebound back to the Republicans, So there you're going to 645 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 1: see that people did do admit they made him stake 646 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: voting for Joe Biden because look, the border is a 647 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 1: crisis and you know, we're talking today. Earlier they're talking 648 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 1: about Fauci and all these groups saying that, you know, 649 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: CNN had someone on saying, you've got to punish these 650 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 1: people that don't get vaccinated. And people see the hypocrisy 651 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 1: in that, because you're letting hundreds of thousands of people 652 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 1: come across our southern border and you're not worried about vaccines, 653 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 1: you're not even testing them, you're releasing them into the country. 654 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,799 Speaker 1: We're gonna have them over a million people released into 655 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 1: the country from all over the world. They're sneaking in 656 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,839 Speaker 1: through Mexico and we're not worried about the vaccine down there, 657 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 1: We're not worried about testing down there. And all of 658 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,919 Speaker 1: a sudden, they're going to punish regular Americans. They won't 659 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: be able to go to school, the kids won't can't 660 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,240 Speaker 1: go to school unless they're vaccinated, you can't do certain activities. 661 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,319 Speaker 1: That's what they're starting to push for now. So I 662 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: think people are really going to push back on this. 663 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: And you know, as as Biden continues to be a 664 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: disaster in his policies, it's going to become more and 665 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,280 Speaker 1: more apparent. We're seeing that with the defund the police, 666 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,319 Speaker 1: where they tried to turn around and say it was 667 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 1: Republicans that were wanting to defund the police. Everyone knows 668 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: this skyrocking crime problem that's these cities is because of 669 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: democratic policies, and they're now panicked and they're trying to 670 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: the Democrats are they see it's a problem, and so 671 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: they're trying to come out now and say different things 672 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 1: that like they're not for that, they're they're for law 673 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: and order because they see the polling and the polling 674 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: is going against them. How pretend that I just got 675 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 1: to Earth from the planet Pluto and somebody said the 676 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: word cryptocurrency to me, and I ask what it is. 677 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 1: Explain to me what it is. Well, it's not it's 678 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:35,360 Speaker 1: certainly not Superman with cryptonite, right, it's but cryptocurrency is 679 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: really a method of being able to trade currency. It's 680 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,719 Speaker 1: it's effectively a currency, and it's created in what's called 681 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: the blockchain. So if you look at like bitcoin is 682 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 1: the main cryptocurrency, So there's a blockchain, which is an 683 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 1: accounting mechanism behind it, and the computers that are used 684 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 1: to solve the accounting mechanisms for the transactions that are done. 685 00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: They're they're rewarded by bitcoin, and there's a finite number 686 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 1: a bitcoin that are created and that will ever be created. 687 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 1: And then with that bitcoin, you can then transact and 688 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: purchase goods and services, and you can trade in between 689 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,399 Speaker 1: bitcoin and currencies other currencies US dollar and vice versa. 690 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 1: So that's effectively what it is. It's a way to 691 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 1: take the government out of the fiat currency business. So 692 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: China is very upset right now with bitcoin and has 693 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 1: been cracking down Bitcoin, which is why you're seeing that 694 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 1: you've seen the price drop them in the past two months, 695 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 1: although it's still up quite a bit year to date. 696 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: But China doesn't want to have Bitcoin compete against the 697 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,319 Speaker 1: currency that they want to have. China's goal is to 698 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 1: have a global currency they're creating. They want to create 699 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 1: their own electronic version of a currency, but their goal 700 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 1: is to control it. And the governments around the world 701 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: want to control the fiat currencies. So you're going to 702 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 1: see more and more pushback against bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. 703 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,280 Speaker 1: But I think that the least the top ones, Bitcoin 704 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 1: and Ethereum are here to stay and it's going to 705 00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:03,400 Speaker 1: be very difficult to unseat them. How you said Republicans 706 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,359 Speaker 1: are going to take back the House in twenty twenty two, 707 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 1: and I agree, chances are real strong and that happens. 708 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 1: Are they going to be the right kind of Republicans? Well, 709 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: you know that's a good question. Uh, Well, certainly President 710 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: Trump is going to be very active in these primaries, 711 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,279 Speaker 1: so we're going to see if he can make a 712 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,759 Speaker 1: difference on some of the endorsements that he that he 713 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 1: puts out there in helping get some of the right 714 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: kinds of Republicans in there. But you know, one thing 715 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 1: I'll say on this is which has always been very 716 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: frustrating to me. If you look at our most conservative 717 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 1: states in the in the in the country, especially on 718 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 1: the Senate side, we tend to have senators that are 719 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 1: not reflective of the of the conservativeness of their state, 720 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 1: and Republicans tend to put up with that. Democrats would 721 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,279 Speaker 1: never put up with a moderate Democratic senator in the 722 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 1: state of California, or a moderate Democratic senator in the 723 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 1: state of Oregon or in Massachusetts. But yeah, we put 724 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,840 Speaker 1: up with that in some of our most conservative states. 725 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,880 Speaker 1: Utah is a perfect example where you have Met Romney 726 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,000 Speaker 1: as the senator who's clearly on the moderate left side 727 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 1: of things. And you know so that's that's the thing 728 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,879 Speaker 1: that frustrates me is the Democrats seem to consolidate, get 729 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 1: behind the right people in their states that can win, 730 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 1: and we on the other side don't tend to do that. 731 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 1: We tend to have this more of a swamp type 732 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:26,440 Speaker 1: version of Republicans elected in many cases, he Mamber, thank 733 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 1: you so much for my man. I appreciate you. Thank you. 734 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 1: Not just republicans either it's the right kind of Republicans 735 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,879 Speaker 1: or it doesn't matter, get involved in your primaries. All right, 736 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:54,760 Speaker 1: lighten the mood next. All right, it's time to lighten 737 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 1: the mood. I'm going to show you a video here. 738 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: This is it's somebody close to someone on the staff 739 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:03,879 Speaker 1: here at I'm right, I'm just gonna leave it there, 740 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 1: not gonna name names or say relationships. But this is 741 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:28,840 Speaker 1: somebody swimming in floodwaters. All right, one, that's funny with 742 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,839 Speaker 1: the music behind it too. Let's let's talk for just 743 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 1: a moment. I've been through floods. I don't know why. 744 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,839 Speaker 1: I'm just a magnet for natural disasters. I've been through 745 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 1: more hurricanes and typhoons and floods and think more stuff 746 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:47,759 Speaker 1: than you can imagine. Don't swim in floodwaters. I know, 747 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 1: believe me. I've been a young man myself too. I 748 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,879 Speaker 1: know how tempting it is to look out your home 749 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,760 Speaker 1: and see the three feet of water in the street, 750 00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 1: and you're thinking to yourself, I can get in there. 751 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 1: An area's flood the sewer floods two. The sewer that's 752 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 1: under your ground. The sewer floods two. You're not swimming 753 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 1: in rainwater, You're swimming in poop water. Don't swim in 754 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 1: floodwaters and go get a hepatitis check if you have. 755 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 1: I'll see them all
