Security Odd Podcast. Let's go the only podcast that's purpose-built from the ground up to support you Not just you, but the wider audience, everybody. Authentic, impactful and insightful conversations that serve a purpose to help you. And the quality has gone up. It's decent. It's hosted by me, Danny Caballero. It's decent, it's hosted by me, Denny Caballero. I'll miss you. I got that song. I got that song stuck in my head.
Speaker 2:The absolute stranglehold that Brian Adams had on the charts for that time period. I think it was like 94. I thought it was Aerosmith.
Speaker 1:Was it Brian Adams? Oh?
Speaker 2:the one that you were singing. Yes, but I was singing the Brian Adams Robin.
Speaker 1:Hood song.
Speaker 2:It impregnated my mind in the same sort of way as Aerosmith. I don't want to fall asleep because I miss you, babe.
Speaker 1:And I don't want to miss a thing.
Speaker 2:Armageddon fits into the Michael Bay status of movies. I don't care what time Armageddon comes, on what channel. I'm watching it from the time that I see it until the time that it's over, and that's non-negotiable. And I will cry when harry stamper comes across. He houston, houston, you got a problem. And it's just harry stamper and his big ass balls on that asteroid where he sent ban efflack away so he didn't die.
Speaker 2:Yeah, fuck me I never missed the depth of my life. I'm gonna. I'm gonna. Today we will hit that depth. I will cry a manly tear and I won't, even you can hit it.
Speaker 1:I swear to you, I swear to you just a great overall movie. So many good quotes any any young boy that grew up in that time period. They no longer wanted to be a cowboy.
Speaker 2:It was police officer, fireman, astronaut, oil rig worker astronaut oil rig worker like it seems like I don't know that's got to be a pretty tough pipeline to get there. I don't know if we need to expand our base. There's probably a growing need for oil drilling astronaut agents of the government.
Speaker 2:You guys are never going to believe this. The moon is actually real and it has a whole lot of oil in it. And then there's just like 18-year-olds going this again. This again, guys Moon oil. Come on, you see the the moon oil it's the moon filled with green cheese. That's on the outside. On the inside, it's pure black gold son of a bitch.
Speaker 1:I'm in air and love welcome back. Security. Part two. The first part we never aired because my audio sounded like this Hilarious.
Speaker 2:That was so sad to me and you know I really did. You hate to internalize that sort of thing, but like you gave me the story and I was like, oh, that sucks, I've been there and like we've had episodes we thought were going to be great and had to rerecord or had to can them. But little part of me that was like, oh, I suck so bad you just had to delete it. It was so old, just delete. Well, good, so it'll be, it'll be fresh to everybody here and I don't remember I've slept like one time since we recorded that podcast, so I don't know what we said.
Speaker 1:So, oh, dude, it's nice to be in the same space with somebody that's, uh, doing the same thing. But, dude you, um, recently you've got some big news. You're you branched out, you're doing some big boy things.
Speaker 2:I don't know about big boy things, man, so obviously this is no surprise to anybody. I've been involved in kind of like the political space and I think that there is a space for GWAT veterans to serve.
Speaker 2:I don't think everybody should get credit just for being a GWAT veteran, right, but I think that we have a unique experience and we can do things. We went through the hardest part If you think about what we went through from 2001 to 2000,. You know, 21, even 2024, the generation of men that led through that thing. We led through historical crisis after historical crisis, from financial, you know, I live in Vegas now and like the housing boom that happened out here on the rebound of like the worst housing disaster in 2008, like made famous by the big short. But you know, we live through things that are supposed to be like generational events. Yeah, dude, while fighting a three yeah Over yeah, you're just getting absolutely, just mugged by reality.
Speaker 2:And then the fact that we're fighting everybody that got in September 12th, I think I raised my hand on like September 14th, entered the debt program and I was gone in January, um, to go do the air force thing.
Speaker 2:But everybody that raised their hand there, they knew, you know, and this is distinct, it's not better than other generations, but like short of a four year period in world war two, very few people raise their hands in a time of war and go no, I'm going to go fight, and we knew that we were going to Iraq and Afghanistan and Africa and Yemen and all these other places that we've been.
Speaker 2:You knew what that was going to be and you know, and I think that I think that's valid. I think when people and we see it with old, old TK man when you aggrandize your stuff and you decide to talk out of school about what you did, man, first of all, you don't need to, you could actually go the other way. You could be like, yeah, you know that experience was unique and that was part of my. You know it's woven into the tapestry of who I am if I'm trying to say it eloquently, but you know it doesn't define me. I think I got some good skills out of it and I think, veterans, they're looking for a place to serve and where better than you know?
Speaker 1:in their elected government, because we've lost sight of what it means, man. It's amazing, yeah, to see the amount of former service members that are making waves in politics right now. Oh yeah, just having that connective tissue of seeing like dude I've had guests are now like joe kent. You know we're rallying him like dude. Can't wait to see you get elected and he crushed it.
Speaker 2:He came, didn't he come out of Washington state Like yeah, yeah, yeah, I was there when he was starting to gain traction and do all this other stuff and I'm like that's who we need. My friend, pat Harrigan, is a Green Beret. He just got elected in North Carolina. He got beat on the first time that he ran for the sea. He was able to make it happen the second time.
Speaker 2:But folks like that, when you look, you know GWAT veterans. I'll tell you what we know how to do. We know how to take a crap sandwich. We know how to right the ship. So when you're looking for people that understand what it means, you know.
Speaker 2:When you look at, you know the dementia ridden adult, 80 year old, that was heading our country for four years. He never did anything outside of the government. No, he worked as a government employee, you know, in the Senate, long leech 59. He never made anything and he was enriched tens of millions, hundreds of millions, by some estimates on exactly what he was after. But who better to serve than someone that spent their life in the most hyperbolic sense of service? I'm literally willing to fight and die for my country. I think those people and you look at, you know people that are, you know Anna Paulina Luna great job to her down in Florida. But I think they have a unique perspective and that's obviously, you know, it's high level problem solving.
Speaker 2:It's a lot of strategy, which I love, mission planning and, uh, I ended up doing a lot of work for a conservative movement it's called um, veterans for America first, and I did a lot, of, a lot of work. We tried to get Sam Brown, another veteran. He was famously blowed up and, uh, or infamously maybe, blown up in an IED. He's got scarring all over his face and he was within a couple hundred votes to turn into that Um. But through through that um, I was honored to be offered the position of president of the Nevada chapter, um, you know, and it happened in January, but I kind of kept a close hold until I wanted to see the dust settle and see what we were getting after. But man, happy to announce I'm the president of the Nevada chapter of Veterans for America First.
Speaker 1:We'll see. That's awesome, dude. We need more of that. I remember talking to dude. I've had the pleasure of meeting so many former soft guys Green Berets that are going, and Colby Jenkins was another great one that we sat down and we're talking. It's like, dude, our government was never meant to be void of veteran voices. It's never. We know the ultimate sacrifice of what it takes to go to war and people make the have this common misconception that because we're veterans, because we served at a higher echelon, like yeah, we're the most war hungry individuals. Like, no, like it is a, a tool, it is a it's, it's part of politics. Yes, it's not the answer to everything and we know the ultimate cost.
Speaker 2:We know what it means it is always an option, though it is. I just want to put that out there. Violence is is always an option. It's always on the table.
Speaker 1:It's better to be a warrior in times of war than a leech that made his living off people, and we need to be able to take ownership and be able to say you know what, yeah, it's going to demand that I serve again, but this time. What more noble cause is there? After you serve in the military, get involved in your local politics. We've seen what happens when we are absent of these spaces, like it's. It's insane that I can't openly speak and share everything that I see wrong, because you'll be labeled a deplorable, horrible human being you'll have an ist assigned to you.
Speaker 1:You'll be a racist a homophobe, a classist, an ableist, you'll be deplatformed right, yeah, but we're, you know we're fighting all those things.
Speaker 2:But, like you know, a great quote by Andrew Jackson that I've always loved is like man, I was born for a storm. Like a ship is safest in the Harbor, but like I was born for a storm, like I was, I was built to go out there and, man, it might swallow me up one day. But I think a lot of GWAT veterans feel that same thing. Yeah, Like we're not, we're not overcome by chaos. That's where we live. Sometimes. The most comfortable, I feel, is when I can go on autopilot and just react to a scenario. You know, because that's what I've been trained to do. Exactly, I spent hundreds of thousands of hours of my life devoted to a specific task. I don't somebody's going to have to fact check that math. I didn't think about it, but, like I don't know, I was in for 22 years.
Speaker 1:So multiply 25 22 times, you know whatever, but I'm gonna fact check you right. Oh, they're gonna get me, trust me. I love the comments. Actually, this is bullshit.
Speaker 2:Aaron loved no, he doesn't even know. He never spent a. I did the math and a hundred thousand, I will shut up. I don't care, he would have to be asleep for a third of it, but shut up, what a piece of shit. Well, that on, on that part they're right. I take that feedback.
Speaker 2:But you know, I think GWAT veterans like they're so uniquely suited to do some of these things and you know it's my personal opinion that it's an outgrowth from a sweeping surge of conservatism in general. But you see these people getting out and you know, if you look at the two ideologies here, you know, you know the left ideology or the Marxist socialist ideology wants you to. You'll own nothing, you'll stay in your stacks and you'll be on VR all day and you won't interact with another human and Uber eats can drop it off at your door so you don't have to God forbid talk to the delivery person, and you know. But you know the other side of that is like no man, I want to have a family and I want to engage my community, whatever that means. You know, don't underestimate stuff like school boards and don't underestimate stuff like if you don't want to do politics, man, I would urge you as a call to action. Go out and just engage, get on your hoa.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like, how much, like, how great would it be to be the one voice of reason to be like listen, guys, we're putting people's on stickers, cars, when their garage doors are up and we can see them inside. That's why they've parked outside. That guy probably doesn't need a parking warning. Like I'm at, like you can do that from the basest level all the way up to you know, kudos to the guys that are doing front facing politics.
Speaker 2:I don't think I could ever do front facing politics, but the, the, the strategy arm and the backside of it is very interesting and it is like you know to use a veteran term like it's a target rich environment, like you want to fix problems. Here's a little look behind the curtain. These people that say they have war rooms for these political discussions have no clue what's going on. Most time they're, they're too online or they think that clicks and likes transfers to like coherent policy or some sort of ideological position on the street, and it just doesn't. And they need voices that have a little bit of experience, that understand what these things are. I think it's just value added.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think it's the. The thing that I'm really loving right now is how fast and how quick to action this administration is going and and hey look, I get it. Some of you might not like my stance. I try not to be too political, um, but I I am a big fan of doge. I am a big.
Speaker 2:it's just a spreadsheet baby, like if you could look at a spreadsheet. The uh, this just broke as I was getting on here. But you know, the doge calculator is actually going up faster than the national debt. They're. They're actually saving us money, right now in the usa id story. I mean we can get into that if you want, yes please, because I want.
Speaker 1:I want to share this story with the viewers out there. If you think USAID is this great mechanism for showing kind and big hearted America how wonderful we are, it's like you're fucking delusional. I lost that understanding as a young soldier in 82nd, the first time I pulled security for a usa id representative in iraq. And they're literally talking to interpreter. The representatives are asking for training for doctors, for teachers, not for infrastructure, and the guy there, representative of us, is just pulling money out of a bag and listening to a fucking thing these people are asking for, like we don't have doctors, we don't have teachers.
Speaker 1:We're asking you to help us with the training, facilitate us, build this network of people that are going to actually work and use those facilities. And the guy's like, uh-huh, how about this? No, how about this?
Speaker 2:How about some sugar from Big Daddy government?
Speaker 2:Yeah no-transcript cutout for what the CIA openly claims to be regime change. Now this whole story is going to blow up for you in your head and I hope that I'm just dragging you into a rabbit hole you're not ready for. If you remember the Trump impeachment where he called Zelensky and said hey, there's corruption that's going on through your country, I want to look at it. And people impeached him for referencing Joe Biden in that phone call. If you remember that that whistleblower was based off a single report published by the OCCP, occ, ccp, slip of the tongue, occrp, and the whistleblower referenced that report. That report was made out of whole cloth and it was funded through USAID. And so they led to an impeachment of a sitting president because they created a narrative that he had a quid pro quo agreement when he was trying to uncover corruption.
Speaker 2:Now I'll say for Trump 2.0 versus Trump 1.0, he is not effing around homie. No, you want to talk about the speed and the velocity at which he's decision-making. Steve Bannon calls it flooding the zone, dan Bongino calls it the rock'em, sock'em robot effects. But you're basically dropping so many things that your opponent can't orient and said you're onto the next thing. And Trump 2.0 has been unreal.
Speaker 2:Two things One, picking cabinet members. I've never seen a more competent, coherent staff from top to bottom. Nobody speaks out of school. They bring facts to everything. They just absolutely burn people down to their face and it's coherent across everybody that he's put in there. So that's number one. The messaging is just on point, it's forceful and he's just flooding the zone. You don't have time to talk about what you're mad about.
Speaker 2:And then number two the other thing that he has done exceptionally well is that he got in the first time and he thought everybody was going to give him the respect to being part of the club and whatever, and famously he failed. He just failed on a bunch of stuff he wanted to get done and just couldn't get over the line. He has learned he didn't go after all these other whatever he was like nope, send somebody in there with software and tell me where the money's going. Follow the money. Start with USAID. And now people are apoplectic about God forbid. We start looking at what we're spending money on and you've seen all the headlines right Like $20 million for drag shows in Guatemala.
Speaker 1:It's funny because there's some content creators that made some really great memes, but then non-critical thinkers are tagging and spreading it like can you believe we spent 20 million on pillow, pillow fluffing? Like, okay, that's not, and it's like you have to dig through. It's like no, no, look here, politico, look at who was paid for politico they missed their and I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2:Somebody you know, somebody paid. They got paid eight million dollars. They subsidized the us government subsidized subscriptions to like their pro plane and whatever else to tune eight million dollars. They stopped that and then, magically, politico said they can't pay their employees for the first time ever. They blamed it on a technical glitch, but yeah you know trump is waiting.
Speaker 1:the best thing it's not. Oh sorry, there's a technical glitch, but you know Trump is waiting. That was the best thing. It's not this. Oh sorry, there's just a technical glitch.
Speaker 2:I get the same glitch when I try to withdraw money from my ATM and I don't have it in my account. It's this weird glitch. It's called unauthorized funds. I don't know what that means, but you know. You look at, say on the entire thing and not to get not to get too political, which I already did, but you know the Democrats own every piece of this.
Speaker 2:If you didn't want to have a president that with a, you know, a call of a phone and a swipe of the pen a la Barack Obama, if you didn't want all of this power to be housed in the in the executive branch, then you wouldn't have done it over the last 16 years. But you were trying between Clinton, obama, clinton, obama and what's it called Joe Biden. They were in charge of the government. Democrats were in charge of government for 16 years. We warned them. Usually conservatives are like listen, we have emergency breaks for stuff like this. We will follow the rules. Even though you don't, those days are over. Trump's like oh wow, you guys spent 16 years putting all this power in the executive branch where it absolutely doesn't belong. Watch this 227 EOs in the first two weeks and he's moving so fast, you can't keep up with him.
Speaker 2:From the Gaza announcement that set everybody in a fits of rage and I just dropped a reel on it. But man, the the hypocrisy. Like these are the same people that we're calling. You know, a genocide is happening in Gaza and open air prison was being operated in Gaza and Donald Trump says okay, great, we'll get everybody to somewhere that has power, water and sewage. We'll make their life better. We'll help you build it back up. We're not going to put boots on the ground, we're not going to fund it. We're going to make everybody else do it.
Speaker 1:Egypt time to take some palestinians, the the real question there is asking why, in fact, egypt won't and they haven't in their history, the same as jordan, the same as sudan, everybody, everybody else. Nobody's ever extended out the offer to bring people from gaza back in now. Why is that?
Speaker 2:ask that question. We won't dive into it because interesting question I have very strong opinions on the subject and I don't want to put on a watch list.
Speaker 1:So we'll just say you, if you are at home listening, ask yourself that why is nobody going there and saying I'll take people and put them in my country?
Speaker 2:and that's what trump is doing, arguing from the maximalist position which he's fond of. He loves getting up in front of people like uh, you know I can't remember which investment banker was but up and he was like hey, this guy said that he's going to do 100 billion, let me get 200 billion. The guy he ended up investing 500 billion in the Starlink project. That's how he negotiates. He says the crazy thing and he lets you get all worked up into a frothy ladder and then he goes oh, by the way, no troops on the ground, we're going to help build them up, but we're not paying for it. We want everybody to take their fair share in the middle east and make this thing a more stable thing. And then people have no clue what to do. The cognitive dissonance just slaps them right in the face and they're like well, I said, leaving people was there, was a was a travesty of human rights violations, but then taking them out is also a travesty of human rights violations, like pick a lane, bro, choose.
Speaker 1:you got to choose, man. At some point you have to admit you're wrong or just say right, right, yeah, it's. It's funny, though, the way that certain individuals that are aligned with certain ideologies are just not able to compute what to be angry about right now.
Speaker 2:The implosion is fantastic to watch, but hey.
Speaker 1:David Hodge. He's the, he's the new, he's the leader, baby.
Speaker 2:Like okay man, he's going leader baby. Like okay man, he's gonna be the one that brings like life in the young. Oh my god, if there was ever a thing like I believe twink is the appropriate name to call david off, he is. He is the absolute worst man. Like him and harry sisson like if they could just get into a tandem skydiving accident together. I mean, he's a femme boy. Oh my god, those two dudes look like, look like a freaking ziploc bag full of cottage cheese. And you're out here telling me you're gonna, you're gonna draw these young, hungry, testosterone fueled american men and they're gonna, you're somehow gonna draw them up. Stop, just stop it like it's not working.
Speaker 2:I don't know what the number one rule of kind of like political strategy is when your opponent is self-destructing stay out of the way.
Speaker 1:Yeah, let it happen, dude. Yeah, yeah, I'm really eager to see what's going to happen with Millie. It never sat right with me, him and Lloyd Austin, the worst Decimated the military.
Speaker 1:Absolutely worst human beings alive and they need to be held accountable. And we were just forced to eat it, that nothing was going to happen to them. We were, all of us were betrayed. Our allies in afghanistan were betrayed, betrayed an entire nation, and there's a camp of people to celebrate them, right, celebrate him and vidman, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They celebrate him as fucking heroes and the reality is they're not. They're. The time to kill these myths is now, like right now, we have to hold these people accountable and look at like and no, I'm not asking for much, I'm not asking for you know, hang them or right Right Right.
Speaker 2:But I'm asking but listen, expose it all you know what I mean Like realistic Fiat, just Tita, uh Ruach Collium. Though the heavens may fall, let justice be done. Listen, there's going to turn over a whole bunch of stuff. It's uncomfortable information. Pam Bondi just said that Cash Patel is going to go ahead and get the FBI nom and the second that it happens, pam Bondi, from her seat, is going to request the Epstein files. There's going to be a lot of people on that list that are going to blow your mind, right. Yeah, though the heavens may fall, let justice be done, expose it all we need to Like, just get a hard reset.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the things that are happening right now, we all need to see it, we all need to pay attention to it, the amount of money that was being wasted and sent to our enemies. We need to see what's happening and people need to be held accountable. It's what adults do. What adults don't do is just blindly let things happen, administration after administration. This is the first time I was telling my wife. This is the first time I feel like we have seen some sort of responsibility within our government saying, hey, and I guarantee these people don't want to put it out there, they don't want to. They understand the gravity of the amount of money that's been wasted, right, wasted.
Speaker 2:They do and that's that's why they're so resistant. When you watch, you know 19 bought and paid for. Democrats rail against USAID and make wild you know conspiratorial, quite frankly claims about oh well, you know Social Security is coming next. No, it's not. None of the entitlements are getting touched. Everybody's been super clear about that. We're not putting boots on the ground in Gaza. You know. Trans people can exist just fine, but as far as it goes with like men playing women's sports, that shit's over. We're not doing.
Speaker 2:And the NCAA just breaking before this, the NCAA, uh, ncaa capitulated to president Trump's EO and said that they will be following that EO. And that's what this does Like. When you have the swipe of the pen from the most powerful seat in the history of the world and you actually use those levers of power, you can get a whole bunch of people to do what you want, from threatening tariffs to get troops on the border to shut down the flow of fentanyl, to write an you know troops on the border to shut down the flow of fentanyl. To write in an executive order to close the border down and then giving the people that are there the teeth to defend it, Calling cartels you know terrorist organizations and designating them as such. This is all necessary and, most importantly, it's all good. That's the thing Like. What are you going to argue against? I thought you loved women, okay. Well then, there shouldn't be a dude in the bathroom.
Speaker 1:And I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry that those words offended you, but I'm not sorry. Like that's what it is Like. Men do not send their women to fight wars for them. So this whole focus on women in special operations and everybody's exactly equal, no matter what, even though the numbers would tell you differently All the rant studies that were actually swept under the rug to show you the reality.
Speaker 1:That's the thing that that was most concerning and really diabolical. You spend the money to do the studies and then you hide them, you don't show them, and then when whistleblowers and people leak them, you acknowledge that the studies took place, but you just said, man, we don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's not to take away anything from anybody, that's not what I'm saying and that's not how people are being attacked for their service and what they've been able to achieve, and I'll first want to say that's fucking stupid. You should first of all. You're dumb people, right, fucking passing a school. You're a fucking idiot. Half of you doing it never went to a fucking selection, so shut the fuck up. Um, these individuals worked their ass off to get selected. I'm talking specifically about ranger school. Um, yep, I had a very good friend of mine, who you know is not with us anymore, but he trained and was a mentor for a lot of these women and he was the first to fucking tell you I know this person, I know this person, I know this person. They worked their fucking ass off.
Speaker 2:They earned a ranger tab, but that's what it should be meritocracy is a thing, right, because you're doing them a disservice as well. Like, we have a stow, uh, that you know made it through, but the the way that she made it through the pipeline gave everybody a lot of heartburn and it was a huge deal, and I remember that. Yeah, well, you have now undermined her ability to lead in this organization for the rest of her career. Yeah, like, you put that stain on her. We didn't you know, we had another, I believe there's a special reconnaissance female that, by all accounts, got through it and did everything to the standard. Great, you're a teammate, that's all it is, you know. It's not saying that she doesn't belong or whatever else, but you have to support them too, like when they made all you know. General life is my, uh, absolute worst person in the whole united states military. I hope he is in that tandem skydiving accident with the other two.
Speaker 1:He's a fucking idiot.
Speaker 2:He is a just straight up like. I don't have bad enough words to describe his leadership and what he did to afsock, but the fact that he was involved in that and pushed it for quite obvious motivations. You're like how do I, how do I follow a leader like that? And now she's in the squadron. He ruined her career. She's never going to be able to outlive that. It's always going to be attached to her very real name. Yeah, and that's a shame, that's an absolute travesty. You know for you know, speaking for her, like yeah it's true.
Speaker 1:It is time to focus on the realities of what it means to go to war. Like what enhances your lethality. That's what we need to focus on, not um, I'm sorry, like that means that all the stupid shit we were focusing on for the last few years needs to fucking fall to the wayside. It's not enhancing the paratroopers ability to fucking get to the fight faster close with and kill the enemy.
Speaker 1:That's exactly that's what we're here to do. We never needed another fucking month of under. Like the celebrations. That was another thing. People were like, oh my God, they took away the celebration of all these different like. No, like it doesn't matter. Yeah, do it on your off time, don't?
Speaker 2:don't spend tax. I worked one of my last positions in military was I worked for what they call the commander's action group, right? So it's the commander that has you know these projects, you set a schedule, you write a speeches, you do all this stuff for it, right? How much time I spent on every one of these of the months. Oh, I mean, there was always a presentation, there was always a get together, there was always and that was always real people getting paid by the American taxpayer, literally Like. I worked on Nellis air force base. I've seen the stuff about drag shows that 100% happen. Oh my God, there are real people that spend real time to make that happen. Who made that flyer? Some poor E3 that works in PAO, that's, who, like, during his work day, you had him make a flyer about something he probably didn't agree with.
Speaker 2:And I just I just say that as a generality. They probably think you know, maybe we don't need a trans Pacific Islander day here on this military base where I'm working in uniform. Maybe that's not the best thing that we want to present to the public. And Oklahoma actually had. There were like seven senators in Oklahoma, they had a Tinker, had a trans day of visibility, and I mean it wasn't even in June or whenever it's supposed to be Pride Month, it was like November. And they were like listen man, the overwhelming majority of people in this area don't agree with this stuff. We don't think you should be spending your time on it. But, like everything else, where's the accountability? Who got fired over that? Who are we actually making to pay a penalty? And I think that's the other thing. Here is another thing that's just breaking 20,000 federal employees have decided to take the buyout. I saw that. Good, good.
Speaker 2:Now Marco Rubio just said and again just before we hopped on here. But Marco Rubio said there's like 14,000 people that work. I think it's at USAID or something or I can't remember that. I'd have to look at the actual thing. But he was like no, there's 14,000 that work here. I need 292 of them. Yeah, that's it. Look at all those savings. Multiply that 14,000 that work here. I need 292 of them. Yeah, that's it. Look at all those savings, multiply that. You know 14,000 minus 292.
Speaker 1:You get a delta, whatever that delta is. Multiply that by their salary. We just saved that much. Bye, because the reality is you were not. Not only were you not essential and not needed. The vast majority of the projects that you were pushing out and working on aren't needed. The projects that you were pushing out and working on aren't needed when they put out the list of things that we're spending money on, the ideologies that we're trying to expand and promote other countries, is disturbing. It is, it is absolutely disturbing.
Speaker 2:And once you notice it, man too bad. You're noticing things now. Now you can't get away from it and now you start going. Why is a Clinton involved in this? Why did Chelsea Clinton get $84 million from USAID? Why is she a cutout that gets nearly $100 million? That's a pretty good question. I don't want to give Chelsea Clinton money. I didn't vote for that. I reject that as an American citizen For doing what.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's funny, the clinton spend and raised how much money for haiti and do the haiti?
Speaker 2:I'll take the clinton foundation in haiti, that one gets deeper and deeper, homeboy. You want to talk about? I mean, oh, absolutely, child trafficking, and let's dive into that one, because, uh, let me tell you.
Speaker 1:If you've never been to dom rap or haiti, let me tell you. Uh you, you will appreciate what you have in the United States. Real fucking quick, real fucking quick. There's a reason why kids grind and parents force their kids into baseball in those countries, right, and there's a reason why you don't want them illegally immigrating to your country, because they're just.
Speaker 2:You know. This kind of speaks to the larger issue of. You know, one of these left wingwing ideology talking points is that all, all cultures are good. They should mesh together and every single one is as good. No, they are not.
Speaker 1:There are culture there, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you want to have. You want to have running grenade fights in downtown Oslo. Well, this is how you do, it is you?
Speaker 1:is you?
Speaker 2:think that other cultures that refuse to assimilate to yours, um, are going to just mesh right in and they, they just quite frankly don't. And you know, when you lay it out to people you're like, hold on. So you're saying your culture that denigrates women's rights to the point where they're not allowed to show their face and they'll be killed in a public square for doing something morally uh, not even morally wrong, right, when you say that that that happens and then in the same breath you tell me but they make our country stronger. I got to disagree. Look at you know, london is seeing the results of this. Go to little Pakistan in London, like it's near Sharia law, like I don't know another way to do it and I don't want to be subject to Sharia law. I don't want my family subjected to Sharia law. I'd rather not. Thank you, I don't think that that's a good culture to intertwine into our own.
Speaker 1:Well, how dare you? That's very bigoted of you. Hit me with a nest, homie, hit me with a nest. You know, xenophobic, racist, you know all the things People are always like well, it's an American. It's the great American experiment. We bring in immigrants from all walks of life. It's like, yeah, but everybody that came here assimilated everybody. They were settlers there were exactly.
Speaker 2:Yes, this country was built off immigration, was built off legal immigration. That happened, you know, post-world war ii and a bunch of these other times where we had huge influxes. And it doesn't mean, you know, quote jd vance it doesn't mean, 248 years after the establishment of this country, that we have the dumbest immigration law that's out there. And look at the fight over the 14th Amendment, the 14th Amendment by the guy that wrote it. He actually and I'm blanking on his name John Howard, maybe he wrote the 14th Amendment and then he literally went up and he died five years after the speech. But he explained quite clearly that there were cutouts in the 14th years after the speech. But he explained quite clearly that there were cutouts in the 14th and unless you were under the jurisdiction of the United States of America, you weren't extended the right of birthright search uh, citizenship. He died five years later.
Speaker 2:But people have convoluted the 14th amendment to include anybody that's ever here, ever. And my favorite example to think through this is like okay, we have one of our Haitian friends and they're going to Toronto because they're going to go take a uh, you know, they're going to take a little vacation in the 51st state that person is a, has a layover in New York to have a baby in New York, so that baby's an American right. And people are like, well, no, obviously not. Well, that's the exact case you're making for somebody, illegally here, not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States of America, having a baby. The 14th is against that. You can't do that. If you're a, if you're a enemy combatant, you couldn't do it. If you're a foreign dignitary, it doesn't apply to you. There's already cutouts and it says illegal aliens right in the 14th. But it's one of those things that again, all of this jurisdiction is downstream of cultural, you know cultural pressure.
Speaker 2:And as you press people on there, you know you look at Roe v Wade. Roe v Wade was invented out of whole cloth and a terrible jurisprudence to ever follow. It was just made up Like even you know, ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was no conservative. She was like no, this is just really bad, it's just really like. I don't understand to bring them in line like I'm a constitutional literalist. I think they did a pretty good job with it. You know, shall not be infringed means shall not be infringed If I cross the magical line between here and California, my inherent God-given right to self-defense does not disappear, because now I'm in a 90210 area, that's it's pretty clear, right. But we've perverted and tried to apply intent, using our current context and optic, to something that happened 220 years ago. 240 years ago and, quite frankly, it doesn't need updating. They did a pretty good job.
Speaker 1:So you should listen to that. It's shocking to me that there's people that champion that idea, that exact idea.
Speaker 2:Let's get rid of it. No amendment is absolute. Really. How about the 19th? You know like, okay, well, you want. Like no amendment is absolute, really. How about the 19th? How about the? You know like, okay, well, you want. Like no amendment is absolute, okay, well, we're going to get rid of the one that focuses on slavery and that gives women the right to vote and watch their head explode. Like well, no, like, oh they. So you're telling me the people that wrote it had a?
Speaker 1:pretty good idea for where America should go, and that's a stretch goal. That and dear to my heart. I'm a first-generation American. I think I have earned that title.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think you're good to say it now.
Speaker 1:A couple of deployments wearing the flag. I think you're good. You know what I talked to the council buddy. You're good. You know what I talked to the council buddy, you're good, you know, you, you, um, you work hard to achieve your version of the american dream and I never for one second took that light, even as a kid, like working and figuring things out.
Speaker 1:I always knew, like dude, my life didn't start here, started in panama. Like it's, like I'm, I'm happy to be here, I don't want to be there. Traveling all over the world, there's a green beret seen everywhere else and I realized no man like well, there's a pretty nuanced argument too, and it's more of a gotcha, it's more of political theater.
Speaker 2:But, like you, you have somebody talk up illegal immigrants and how good they are and whatever else be like. Listen, man, I'm completely altruistic on this one. I don't think we should be stealing everybody's top talent. I think they've got problems in their home country. Haiti could use some help. I don't want their doctors, I don't want their lawyers, I don't want their teachers. I think they have a lot of work that they could do at home in order to bring Haiti out of the abject poverty in which they live, thanks in large part to the Clinton Foundation and all the money they said they were going to fix Haiti with.
Speaker 2:It's also the the haitian history of blaming everybody else right, right, well, and you look at some of these, these specific cultures and another problem people fall right off all the white people.
Speaker 1:Who's next in line?
Speaker 2:who's next? Who else? You're sort of light-skinned.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're killed yeah, you're gone, um, but you look, you know somali is the same way. You know me and my brother against my cousin, me and my cousin against my tribe, me and my brother against my cousin, me and my cousin against my tribe, me and my tribe against everybody else, like there are cultures that don't assimilate well and there are problems that we have. And you know, taking a clear eyed look at some of these places and going, hey, hold on, like on a limited basis, yeah, but you got to assimilate, you got to be, you can't be running. You know a business in downtown New York City with no permit. You know when the whole ice thing happened. You know a reporter.
Speaker 2:I use those air quotes because I don't trust any of those people either.
Speaker 2:But you know they're walking along and they're like, oh wow, you can actually walk down this street, like this used to be just all you know illegally operating businesses, from cooks to people selling fake Rolexes, to the whole deal. And he's like now they're all gone because they think that there's a penalty to what they're doing. You know those outputs like I am a spreadsheet guy, I don't care if I don't like somebody or they're going to get me what I want. Like I'm going to shock you here, denny, but you know there's been times where I've ridden the bus and I didn't like the bus driver either. So but if he's going to get me close to where these things and to you know, not wrap up, but it kind of like sum up like the whole thing about Trump's first, I think it's 18 days now and you know we're talking about things that he's doing in EOs and all this other stuff. We've never seen, at least in our lives, a political administration move this fast and do fucking lootly.
Speaker 2:People were like well, you know there's campaign promises and you know, whatever Like we'll see what happens. The guy's not slowing down and from his admin they're like listen, we're going to keep going. Like we are going to step on this, like we're going to move fast, we're going to break some stuff. People are going to have issue with it. We're going to be wrong.
Speaker 1:We're going to correct ourselves the mandate that we got from the American people. For the first time in 40 years, trump did something that I thought was impossible. For the first time in my adult life, I tuned into legacy media to see what was happening.
Speaker 2:Well, you're doing so out of like Schadenfreude, right Like you're doing something like I can't wait. These people's heads have to be exploding. Yeah, and they never disappoint. You know nsmbc, cnn. You know tim pool's podcast gets more daily listener. That's not even comparatively like dan. You know dan bongino is the biggest noise and and maga movement currently. Like he's, he is just the biggest show. Like you can get mad at that all you want, but the dude crushes it. He's like number one every single week.
Speaker 1:Like, if your name's not joe rogan, yeah then you know dan bongino is the king of, of whatever this new media that we're calling it the other thing that I find really like awesome, dude, is individuals such as yourself finding ways to highlight our common like common sense viewpoints from the veteran perspective, like what are you doing with your own channel? What you're doing in collaboration with other like-minded individuals? Um, adam, uh, dorito, adam, dorito, that guy's a star dude that guy's gonna crush it there's two other podcasts that yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh, we see their stuff uh, so I came with fire.
Speaker 2:I came with fire I get that brandon and uh and chris over there awesome. I love my actually going on live fire here on the 14th. So those dudes are.
Speaker 1:Those dudes are great out to those guys because they're they're. That's the voice that people need to also like be able to put a finger on the pulse of what's going on, because they speak for a vast majority of our veteran population and it crosses and blends into our non-veteran group community.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, Because those lessons are learned by everybody.
Speaker 1:Yeah, people want to see real change in our government and this is the first time we're seeing shit change, and for the good, and it's not just like frivolous changes, it's not just people like dude Tulsi Gabbard amazing fucking pick she crushed.
Speaker 2:His picks have been dead on. There's one that I really don't like and I think she's going to get confirmed. I can't bring her name up off the top of my head and it's like a financial institution that she's overlooking. She has a troublesome record. But every single other person I was a gates guy. I thought gates was going to get into doj and burn it down and you know he ended up stepping aside and all the unfounded rumors and all this other stuff. But pam bondi has absolutely hit the ground with a head of steam and a chip on her shoulder and she's smarter than you. She's the smartest person in that room and she is burning stuff to the ground. So you look at everybody that he's, you know everybody. He's appointed.
Speaker 2:There's a couple of similarities is like they're young, they have a, they just will not be deterred in their pursuit for this accountability and they've got the requisite knowledge that they need and like. When you're talking about pete hegseth and you know nate over at the hall of eft, he doesn't. He's not a hegseth fan, he doesn't, doesn't like him. But you can't take away from what the guy did. He's got the requisite experience that he needs to lead men, women, into battle and he knows exactly what you don't need and he didn't have the chance to be politically indoctrinated like a lot of these.
Speaker 2:You know apps fucking lootly e8, e9. You know they want those guys to act like junior officers and just go along and when, when their job speaking as an e8 that got out e8s and e9s they're there to pull those officers aside. Be like. You guys are idiots. We're not doing this. You may be in command, but I'm in charge and this is what we're going to do. And pete hegseth is doing exactly that. He's setting out everybody's like hey, I'm your boss, you're gonna do this thing, and they're like roger that and I'm actually thrilled it's not a soft guy, that's one of the things.
Speaker 1:Like that, yes, we need to understand that you can be an outstanding, amazing force for good, an amazing veteran, without ever serving in a soft unit. Nope, it's. It's not just, it's not, you know, exclusive to like soft people.
Speaker 2:No great veterans. Jd Vance is a PAO guy. He was an E4 PAO dude that had a single. He's the vice president, dude Right. E4 mafia stand up.
Speaker 2:But, you look at, they're younger, they're hungry to go get it. Jd Vance was born in a lab to deal with the media, the back and forth. It's not even fair, dude, he is good, like he's playing. He's playing chess and they're playing like snake on their old nokia phone. It's not even the same league, bro, like they're. It's just, it's disgusting to watch and he does a great job of you know, like the rest of the administration and keeping their narrative together. But like, more importantly, he just rejects the premise of the question. You know, people famously asked him, you know, with the the calm down, margaret, me, margaret, yeah, hilarious, but she was just like all these illegal immigrants and they commit less crimes. He's like I reject the premise of your question. No, they don't. No, they don't. The study that you're referencing was nonsense and never included illegal aliens in it. He just went down the list and he rejected the premise of the question, which is what we have to start doing. They're no-transcript. You're just like, oh no I've seen this one before.
Speaker 2:I've seen it and I'm not gonna fall for this again. This is nonsense. What really happened?
Speaker 1:yeah, it's nice to have people that are cognizant and can talk like and really defend themselves yeah, 100, it feels good, the winning feels good.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean to see. To see carolyn levitt. Good lord, is she a savage as the white house press secretary. She is just absolutely.
Speaker 2:She's like. You know why are eggs so expensive? Oh, let me tell you why. Joe biden killed like 1.2 million chickens and through his inflationary processes, we like eggs have costed this much forever. They were down in comparison to recent prices, but they're still up over 40%. You guys did that and I'm happy that you asked about it. That's a perfect response. I reject the premise of your question, which is why hasn't Donald Trump done anything to lower egg prices? I just reject that question. The problem that you're talking about I can well define and I can give you background, and of course, I brought receipts, but to see her in that space again, it's just another great pick yeah, what are some things you're hopeful for?
Speaker 1:man? I think that, uh, there's a lot of like things. I'm I'm just just waiting for somebody to just yeah, fucking just every day. I'm just like waiting for like an update. I'm like what's aaron gonna put out? There's's going to be something. Good, there's going to be something good.
Speaker 2:So I am white pilled man, Like, if you there's white pill, you know, red pill, blue pill, white pill, black pill and then clown pill, which is a good one too, you know. But the red pill, if you take the red pill, you know you, the white pill is meant to signify hope. Black-pilled people all they see is death and dark and destruction and whatever else. I'm not on that side man. I'm hopeful when I see an invite pop up for a men's group right down the street here at my local grocery store that has a bar in it because it's Vegas, it's super awesome, you can get your sushi and go sit down. They got beer and wine, there's sports stuff, but, man, there's a men's group. That's there, you know. I walk around and I look at people that have Trump Vance posters in their, in their whatever, and people are friendly, they're happy, they're hopeful, Like when I see you know the, the optics of you know Trump with all of those girls yesterday when he said dude.
Speaker 2:You got 10 year old girls all the way up to college athletes and professionals. You professionals. Sage Steele was in the crowd. There were a bunch of people that were there protecting our women and girls. That makes me hope. That doesn't make me, Of course. We have problems that we got to fix and there's going to be blowback. There's going to be people on the Republican side as well that I have zero sympathy for. If you misused American taxpayer funds and you're turned over in this thing.
Speaker 2:Let me be clear all politicians are cunts, every single last one of them. I don't agree with everything donald trump does either. I am about accountability. I'm a conservative. I'm not a republican. I registered as republican because you can't register as a conservative.
Speaker 2:But those principles, I think but not not only they're what we thought we were founded on, the judeo-christian principles that we founded this nation on. But I think conservatism is the best way to get us forward, the best way to get us forward, the best way to move. When you are progressive, you were willing to burn the institutions to the ground, ignore the standards and norms for the popular thing today, and I don't think that ideology is best for America, and I can come up with 90 million reasons why. But it makes me hopeful when I see those reflections in everyday life. It makes me hopeful to see people talking again and outside again. And you know, all of a sudden they tried to make bird flu happen. Bird flu is not happening Like nobody. Nobody believes you anymore. And to see people out in public, I'm just happy to see you know, bringing back shame and bullying.
Speaker 1:Absolutely. You should not Bring back tar and feathering.
Speaker 2:Bring it all back, Like that's what got us here.
Speaker 1:Man Like, if I see, a furry walking down the street. I get to roll my window down now and go nerd, because that's like. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:I'll yell another word, but that will get us censored on YouTube. How hard I say fuck. Anyway, I can edit this. Back it, dude, don't edit it, just put a clown horn in. Just all I want is, like it's easy to do on Riverside. He just does it all the time. But but those things make me hopeful, man, like yeah, I know we got a lot of problems to fix, but we're fixing problems now. You know I am a Trump guy. I voted for him all three times. He won the election, yep, and I am happy to see what I told him to do. Here's what I want to do Quit the government spending. Find ways that we could save money. Stop getting us in the unnecessary foreign wars. Make sure that we put America first. That is it. That was my whole message.
Speaker 1:And to watch these outputs of what my inputs were, man, it feels good and the other thing I want to see is I want to figure out how we can stop the stealing of the American dreams regards to home ownership. Oh yeah, there's no, how you stop?
Speaker 2:letting black rock buy up you know 20 to 30% of homes and then rent them out. That's how you do it. That's how you stop it.
Speaker 1:I live here in Alabama temporarily in In every new area of development it's all rental homes, All of it Rental.
Speaker 2:It shouldn't be that way.
Speaker 1:It shouldn't be that way. A young couple that's trying to have their slice of the American dream should be able to afford a fucking home.
Speaker 2:And I'll tell you what. There's nothing that turns people conservative more than that, and that's what the Democrats just did not understand about this last cycle, as look at a 24 year old that has two incomes between him and his young wife and they should be able to afford a single family home and they just can't, and that. And then you know for the Democrats to come out and be like, oh, that's an illusion, whatever else, no, it is like Vegas. I live in a like my no kidding spot right now is probably about a quarter of rental homes in my nice little gated community that I have here in the northwest of Vegas, and about a quarter of them are rentals. Why this place is blowing up, having people come in here to live and, to you know, to enjoy Vegas. And Vegas is an amazing American city. It's great, unless you drive a cyber truck and then I'm profiling. However, I just bought one.
Speaker 2:No, god no, you got any fireworks on on you, just asking for a friend. The friend is the fbi um I do good god, and this is where this it just goes, it just goes like this.
Speaker 2:If you guys aren't watching the video, you should be. It's just me going off street. But you know, all that stuff makes me hopeful and when you look, look at these things, now you can start going hey, hold on BlackRock, why are you using ESG scores and buying up a quarter of all available property? Because it's a good investment. You're pricing out people that should be able to buy a home and there's nothing that'll turn you into a conservative faster than home ownership will. And I think that's an underlying thing is when you have. This is my house, man, this is my piece, this is where I'm going to raise my family, this is where I'm going to protect this place, and I cleaned out my turf today, so I'm going to take care of it.
Speaker 2:And when you're young and you're liberal, you don't have a brain. And they say, if you're old and conservative, you don't have a heart. Right? I think the watershed is number one getting younger. The two, the two, uh, you know, gen X essentially won this election for Donald Trump. They came out in droves and voted. Because we straddle that line, you and I, between when the internet was a thing and when it wasn't. You know, I, you and I did distinctly remember sitting in the bars and having an argument with someone. Well then, what you would have to do is you'd have to agree that you don't know who's right, and then you'd go home to encyclopedia Britannica and you'd be like I knew it.
Speaker 2:Right, um, but we straddle that line, like we lived in a world that was not digital and then turned digital, like I let you know, turned to to a digital age. But you know, those people are starting. The baby boomers have held on for way too long, when the average age of Congress is like 72 years old or 68 years old or whatever it is now. That's ridiculous. Like that. That should have never happened. But these people became entrenched and it's time, like it's time to start talking.
Speaker 1:It's time to start talking.
Speaker 2:Turn in this country over. Give the keys to the younger dudes. Like you, don't drive anymore, grandpa, you're out how many times are got to teach you this lesson.
Speaker 1:Shameless plug right now. If you're a veteran and you're thinking to yourself, you know what. I have the gumption, I've got the know-how. I want to get involved in politics, but you feel like you have to go to maybe a school that specializes in this. Well, I got the school for you. Go to the University of San Francisco. There is a master's in public leadership for you. Let's go hybrid program and they will pay you the bh rate of san francisco to go. Here's what I'm telling you to do this go there, enlist, be of service again for your nation. Get paid to go to school, get that master's program. Rub elbows with politicians there. That will help you understand the framework for running and for being part of our government. Get elected and then, when you get elected, you can help kick out all these old fuckers out and then you have the levers of power at your disposal and you can make sweeping changes.
Speaker 1:Yeah for the good or bad, depending on what side you want to fall on. I mean, it's up to you, I'll tell you what that that baa trade that university is?
Speaker 2:there is the university of san francisco. Yeah, yeah, who that baa trade up there is tasty bro, like I was just thinking. I was like, do I need to get there? Do I need to use my dea 35? Like, yeah, I'm gonna tell my daughter. My daughter is a sophomore at college and she's an amazing human being and just smarter and better than me in every regard. So she's out but uh, yeah, she might. She might get her stuff paused for like a year. Be like sorry, daddy's, gotta use these benefits homie it's.
Speaker 1:It's such a great, great program. I found out it through a great friend, mike. I'm putting it out there for you guys listening. I'll actually put the information on the description and you just think of yourself Like maybe there you go and maybe it's not politics you want to go into, but the same frameworks, the same all the curriculum you'll learn there. For this master's program also applies for leading in nonprofits being able. For this master's program also applies for leading in nonprofits being able to work in that sector. And we need people. We need people Trying to drop a little more of these dimes at the end of any episode where it actually makes sense, because education is something that's always coming across in the DMs. What am I doing? Programs I'm going in. You earn these benefits. You do Use them, use them and it'll benefit all of us. Yes, sir, you do use them, use them and it'll benefit all of us. Yes, sir, I don't want to live in a world where my government doesn't reflect who I am or the people that I'm around.
Speaker 2:And it's a representative Republic, everybody. It's not a democracy. They should represent you and for all those people out there. And this is a tangent but, man, when people say you can't legislate morality, yes, you can. They do it every single day and you should. You should legislate a better morality, and we saw it with the overturn. Like I am an unapologetic, violent, pro-life guy, like I just am. Um, it's not religiously based, it's, it's a simple, simple bumper sticker. Well, me, for I find that if I boil down an ideologically consistent viewpoint and I eliminate as many attacks, it works really well, because you back people into a corner here. It is Everybody out there that wants a cheat code. I protect children at all costs. Yeah, that's it. That's it, that's it, that's my sentence. I protect children at all costs.
Speaker 2:It does not matter where those children are or what they're doing, I protect them and that's it. And children are or what they're doing, I protect them and that's it. And you know, if you just house and it's ideologically consistent, I can show you parts of my life where I follow that daily. I can tell you that there's no attack that you can wield on that other than you saying that a baby isn't a baby, it's a clump of cells. Bill burr had a uh, a very funny thing on that. He's like I don't understand bill burr's. You know terrible. Watching him lose his mind has been hilarious, but he's funny, he does actually make me laugh.
Speaker 2:He's going to have to. He's going to have to.
Speaker 1:I mean Rappaport. He finally opened up his eyes.
Speaker 2:When you get, mugged by reality enough, I'm telling you. It just is. Shane Gillis has a funny bit on it too. He's like it doesn't happen overnight. On it too, he's like it doesn't happen overnight. You don't just wake up one day be like I'm gonna, I'm a republican, I'm gonna be a dick about everything. You know. He's like it's just it's little stuff and it draws you over.
Speaker 2:But bill burr was talking about the that debate and he's like it's like you put a cake in the oven and in 10 minutes somebody comes and grabs your cake and throws it across the floor. You're like, hey, what the fuck, man, that was gonna be a cake. And he's like, well, it wasn't a cake. Right now I'd be like, yeah, you gotta wait. Fantastic joke. Yeah, you gotta wait. It's not like it wasn't a cake. Now I will. I will say my wife tara loves this joke. It's just a. It's just a funny joke. She saw a meme that was like it was talking specifically about roman catholics, and I grew up catholic, so this one hit nice. Oh yeah, uh. Catholicism the the greatest force for good, probably in the history of the world.
Speaker 2:But make the crusades great again make the deuce volt baby fuck around and find out. It's the find out administration. Um, you know, but tara had a funny joke. She was, like you know, talking about lent, and they were like all right, listen, you got a fast, you can't eat any meat. And they're like okay, cool. You're like, but eggs are cool. Like but wait, but, wait a second. Isn't an egg going to be a chicken? Hold on, hold on, wait a second.
Speaker 2:I don't want to have that conversation but you know, I, I don't know, man, I'm just, I'm I'm relentlessly hopeful for this country, man, I love this country. In this United States of America, there's a, there's a reason why, you know, it's not just because it looks good on video. But, man, the constitution, the bill of rights, these things that we put our country on, we put the, the end of words right. These rights are undeniable and they're granted from your creator, that it's not a piece of paper that grants them to you. But we set a goal for America that we haven't gotten to yet. You know, the 250th celebration of America becoming a nation is going to happen next year. I'm having a July 4th party. I don't know where we're going, but it is going to be a banger.
Speaker 2:But those are the ideals to which we strive. It's the golden apple inside of the silver frame of the constitution, of the bill of rights that work in concert to give the rights to the people that use them. And then the people that govern those people only derive their power from the will of the governed. That's, that's what the intent is meant to do. And when I see people live in those ideals and now they're not as afraid to speak out on it.
Speaker 2:Maybe, maybe the YouTube algorithm isn't good for the F word, but you know like when I see people that are willing to have these conversations and have them in public, again, you know, not talking about sex, religion and politics in public made us really stupid on sex, religion and politics, absolutely, because somebody can't say a thing like bring back bullying. When you say a dumb thing to me at the bar, I'm like that's freaking stupid, that's a dumb idea. Get a better idea and then I show you that I have a more thought out, better idea than you do, and then you pay a personal penalty for it.
Speaker 1:That's what that's what interaction is supposed to retard and queer.
Speaker 2:We can do it you're back and guess what? It doesn't mean anything, you know. You look at the intent, the the uh. I was rereading the uh, the coddling of the american mind oh great book yeah, well, you should go reread it now, because they talk about the trump.
Speaker 2:Uh, very fine, people, hoaxes, it's left and right wing violence, the way that they framed the whole thing. I was just, I was rolling my eyes. I was like I've gotten too based for this. I can't read it. Um, but you know they, you know there was a, there was a switch. When we talk about those words like this, freedom of speech, there's no such thing as hate. The person's intent matters more than the impact, and that completely flipped sometime after about 2014 speech. And you know, specifically, if you look at the evergreen stuff with Dr Weinstein, you look at some of these other colleges, columbia my favorite part about Columbia university is it's so close to America. You know it's right there, but it's not America because it's a fascist regime.
Speaker 2:Um, but you know it, it. It started being like, like with microaggressions and with these things of like well your impact matters than more than your intent, because I had my feelings hurt. Now it's a you problem.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the pendulum swung too far and I'll tell you from having a senior warning, warning people, oh yeah, and dave smith was gonna stay in the college.
Speaker 2:Uh, ecosystem no, and then all of those people got out and with their advanced degrees they took hold of and Dave thought it was going to stay in the college ecosystem. No, and then all of those people got out and with their advanced degrees they took hold of the levels of love, levers of power and formed in the same thing, a bureaucracy and an oligarchy that are now run by these radicals. Ninety seven percent of college professors identify as Democratic. Ninety seven percent of employees at USAID. If they made a political donation, it went to ActBlue or some other Democratic apparatchik. These are the people that were like reality is going to mug you in your face. And then it didn't, because they reset the rules for what the rules for reality and society were. And now we see that natural outgrowth and to go all the way back. I think that's why GWAT veterans are specifically and uniquely suited to this, because we don't have that man.
Speaker 2:A couple of nights after sleeping in the rain and waiting around for five hours for motor pool to show up and you start to really think about do we need to be doing this? I don't have the time to sit around and die Like. I just want to bitch and get the problem done and then go on to the next problem. Cause now I'm going to have to turn my weapon in and the armor isn't gonna take you because it's got a little bit of dirt on it. Like we have those experiences where you're not gonna stop me from shaming. Like I'm gonna find a way to clean this rifle as fast as possible, to turn it in so I can go sleep in my room, while you idiots are standing online for three hours like, yeah, we know how to break systems and make them better and we know how to work with a bare minimum. You know military spec product to make it work and make magic out of lunch. I think we're uniquely suited to that. I think we need more voices, not less.
Speaker 1:Absolutely, bro. I can't thank you enough for hanging out with me today. Heck, yeah, give me a much needed fucking break just broing out, man, this is.
Speaker 2:We laugh, we cried, we shared some stories.
Speaker 1:It's good, it's amazing to be a feel. Now more than ever, we can finally just be open and honest and not worry about somebody jumping into the DMS and crucifying us for they're still going to.
Speaker 2:I don't care, I don't. I read your comments Usually, I just laugh. I've started doing this thing and maybe I'm, maybe I'm giving away a poker tell here, but I just respond with one word I'm just like wrong, dumb, silly you know whatever, yeah, exactly, dumb silly you know, whatever, yeah, exactly stupid you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:I just put that deep targeting pack and I find out where you live I love seeing a real long, like a real long, like well thought out respond. They got like links and stuff and I'm just like wrong, you know what I mean? It's just the most dismissive. And there's like and then, like, this is giving away the punchline, but you know who cares? Uh, you know they'll come back like, oh, one word, that's all you got. I'm like, yeah, it's all your worth. And let me tell you, it makes my heart so happy to be that petty. I'm trying to be better, but I am petty, so petty.
Speaker 1:Hey, every day we can, we can try, we can be better we can, but I don't want to.
Speaker 2:I don't, we try.
