1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,000
Take a look behind the curtain 
with a real whistleblower, an 

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,400
American patriot. 
Prepare to embrace the 

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,880
uncomfortable truth, because 
this program has no time for 

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,320
comforting lies. 
Here is civil liberties 

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,240
enthusiast, Second Amendment 
defender, and recovering FBI 

6
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:22,640
agent Kyle Serif.

I don't know why Rumble rocks 

16
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,680
like that but that is how they 
do it folks. 

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,000
We got a very special guest 
today. 

18
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,560
I hope you guys are going to 
appreciate it as much as I 

19
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:51,960
appreciate him giving us the 
time. 

20
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,800
A man who is in the running for 
Catholic Hero of the Year, we're

21
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,320
going to run our ad reads up 
front because I'm the boss and 

22
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,040
this is my show and I do it how 
I like it. 

23
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,040
And mostly we don't have to 
answer to anybody. 

24
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:03,360
We're going to do that real 
quick. 

25
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,440
And then we're going to jump 
into a conversation with Rob 

26
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,320
Green, who is not representing 
DoD or the Department of the 

27
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:10,320
Navy. 
He's a man in his own personal 

28
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:12,480
capacity talking about some 
things that are a big deal. 

29
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,200
And I think you're going to find
another suspendable. 

30
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,520
So that's good stuff. 
Let's start off with our friends

31
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,760
over at Patriot Cooler. 
It's patriotcooler.com. 

32
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,040
That's where you go to get your 
own version. 

33
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,560
Look at this one. 
This one's got decorations. 

34
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,640
This is one of my buddies over 
at the Department of the Air 

35
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:26,920
Force. 
Yes, I got called a white 

36
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,960
supremacist for having an AFSOC 
sticker in a briefing. 

37
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,560
I don't know. 
You guys can get your own 

38
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,200

Kyle will save you 10%. 

39

you get free shipping. 

41
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,760
That's good to go. 
Easy stuff. 

42
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,720
You guys can support a sponsor 
that supports us. 

43
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:46,920
Don't buy it if you don't need 
it. 

44
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,040
Don't buy it if you can't afford
it. 

45
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,640
But if you want to and you want 
to go out there and take care of

46
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,560
the folks that are taking care 
of us, that's where you do it. 

47
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,960
Patriot coolers.com Houston TX. 
Good people, We appreciate them.

48
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,320
Let's also talk about preparing 
yourself for God knows what's 

49
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,000
coming at you. 
And honestly, God knows what's 

50
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,720
coming at us. 
For patriots.com/kyle. 

51
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,639
That is our food survival 
supplier, the number four 

52
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,720
patriots.com/kyle. 
You got two choices in life. 

53
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,560
You can prepare or repair. 
As I learned in the survival 

54
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,760
school, you can go for about 3 
weeks without food, but you will

55
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,400
be a grump and you will be a 
terrible father and a lousy 

56
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,520
husband and not a lot of fun to 
be around if you do not have 

57
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,000
some calories in reserve. 
You guys can do up to 72 hours 

58
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,120
just to throw in your car, quick
grab and go. 

59
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,080
Or you can go three months, six 
months, a year. 

60
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,760
Prepare yourself out. 
They've also got all kinds of 

61
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,120
little gadgets and gizmos, which
is fun. 

62
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,080
Yeah, we like that kind of stuff
for patriots.com/kyle to 

63
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,920
prepare, lest you be caught 
trying to repair. 

64
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,360
Far more expensive. 
Who knows how many American 

65
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,480
dollars Because my buddy always 
calling Federal Reserve Notes 

66
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,480
you have to put into a 
wheelbarrow at some point when 

67
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,880
our hyperinflation goes. 
Get yourself squared away for 

68
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,000
that. 
And last but not least, our dear

69
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,280
friends over at the Catholic 
Vote today is not going to be a 

70
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,680
news based story. 
We're going to be talking about 

71
00:02:58,680 --> 00:02:59,760
people. 
We're going to be talking about 

72
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,240
what happens, not what happened.
And if you guys want to go get 

73
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,640
the loop, you can go to 
catholicvote.org, click on the 

74
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:08,760
the center button right there 
that says loop me in with your 

75
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,040
e-mail address and you will get 
this The Loop, which has an 

76
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,920
article written by me in it 
today of all things. 

77
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:15,640
I didn't even know they were 
putting that out, but they did. 

78
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,640
I helped write a book. 
It was in one of the chapters 

79
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:21,000
and they released that, at least
a piece of it to the Federalist 

80
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,520
about the betrayal that the FBI 
has engaged in against 

81
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,120
Catholics. 
If you guys want to read about 

82
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,560
that, you can read about the 
Senate killing, the Mayorkas 

83
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,400
impeachment. 
There's a story about a Jesuit 

84
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,840
university that was trying to 
put on drag shows and they got 

85
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,200
on the wrong side of us. 
So there are over 13,000 people 

86
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,440
signing a petition on and on. 
Denver mayor trying to give 

87
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,680
millions to migrants, which we 
know are illegal immigrants 

88
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,800
trying to give them while 
defunding the police. 

89
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,040
Good stories, check out 
catholicvote.org. 

90
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,200
You guys are going to be missing
out if you do not get the loop 

91
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,160
today. 
And that is it. 

92
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,480
That is, that is all of the 20 
minutes of sponsorships that we 

93
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,440
are alleged to do in our 40 
minute podcast, which is 

94
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,760
obviously not that. 
Let's bring on our guest and I 

95
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,240
want to show you up here. 
He is the author of Defending 

96
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,160
the Constitution Behind Enemy 
Lines, a story of hope for those

97
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,400
who love liberty. 
You can follow him on social 

98
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,640
media at Rob Green 1010. 
I'll have to ask him what the 

99
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,480
1010 part means, but you can see
there. 

100
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,600
And he's also the author of the 
Declaration of Military 

101
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,800
Accountability. 
My guest today is Commander Rob 

102
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,680
Green, who is in his personal 
capacity. 

103
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:25,880
That's right. 
How we doing, Sir? 

104
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,440
Doing very well, Kyle. 
Thank you for having me on. 

105
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,120
Thanks for being on with me. 
I'm going to call you Rob. 

106
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,600
So we don't have any sort of 
issues with the Department of 

107
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,440
the Navy or less anyone think 
you're representing something 

108
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,320
you're not. 
Is that cool with you? 

109
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,760
Oh yeah, absolutely. 
I appreciate your reading. 

110
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,720
The disclaimer up front. 
I typically don't do it. 

111
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,160
I had APAO and a legal review at
one point from a friend and he 

112
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,280
said, you know what, You're so 
far off narrative, you don't 

113
00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:49,640
have to worry. 
You know, you don't speak for 

114
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,360
them. 
So when I am asked to say it, I 

115
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,800
typically say something along 
the lines of yes. 

116
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,360
I don't speak for for anybody 
who is a domestic enemy to the 

117
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,440
Constitution. 
I like that. 

118
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,880
I like that a lot. 
Unfortunately, it seems like a 

119
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,320
lot of our government, a lot of 
our military has sort of stepped

120
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,760
into that space, and a lot of 
people forgot that their oath 

121
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,880
was to the Constitution, not to 
their branch of service and not 

122
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,560
their their government agency. 
Huh. 

123
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,040
What a weird time to be alive. 
All right, Rob, I want to start 

124
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,720
with who you are and then we'll 
get into what you've been doing 

125
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,440
and how you got there. 
So we'll just kind of take our 

126
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,160
time, if that's cool with you. 
I want to give you the floor, 

127
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,640
tell people where you're from 
and how you describe yourself. 

128
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,440
Obviously there's there's show 
notes if people want to read 

129
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,720
about it, but I'd like it in 
your own words. 

130
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,160
Yeah, thank you, Navy commander.
Father of seven, traditional 

131
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,800
Catholic. 
And I mean, I I would never, 

132
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,040
ever want to be in the public 
light, the public sphere, 

133
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,400
certainly, you know, never doing
social media stuff. 

134
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,640
But we got into this fight when 
the Navy started trying to chase

135
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:53,200
me down with a a needle with a 
biological agent that I don't 

136
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,600
need. 
And and then I really started 

137
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,160
doing a bunch of research and 
realized, hey, we're breaking a 

138
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,280
couple laws here. 
And then went on the offensive 

139
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,240
as soon as we realized what this
was doing to people and and what

140
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,960
was it was doing to the 
Constitution that we swore an 

141
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,280
oath to defend, completely 
shredding it. 

142
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:15,360
And so this, that's how I got 
into this whole fight and why 

143
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,440
we're talking. 
I appreciate that. 

144
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,560
Where did you grow up? 
Where are you from? 

145
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,400
From Alabama originally, and 
then went to Ole Miss for a 

146
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,560
year, went to the Naval Academy.
After that, met my wife. 

147
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,360
She's from Steubenville, OH. 
Her dad was in the 

148
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,880
administration at the university
for like 30 years. 

149
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,200
So we we met in a place called 
Catholic Family Land Apostolate 

150
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,960
for Family Consecration up in 
Bloomingdale. 

151
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,680
OH, I had a break at the Naval 
Academy for a week, went met my 

152
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,640
family up there. 
She was working there and so we 

153
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,560
got married two days after 
graduation from the Academy. 

154
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,720
OK, fair enough. 
That's a that's a good origin 

155
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,800
story. 
And Alabama the beautiful, 

156
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,200
right. 
That's the way they say it. 

157
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,720
On the, on the signs on the way 
in. 

158
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,760
It it is. 
It is a very beautiful state. 

159
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:01,840
Hard of Dixie. 
I didn't know that when I first 

160
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:03,840
drove through Alabama. 
This was years ago. 

161
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:05,920
I think I was active duty. 
I think I was driving out to to 

162
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,520
Fort Bragg and I drove through 
it and and it said Alabama the 

163
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:09,800
beautiful. 
And I went like, yeah, whatever.

164
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,120
Everyone has a little little 
catch phrase and then it is a 

165
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,920
shockingly gorgeous state. 
Especially when you go east to 

166
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,720
West and cross it and you just 
go, man, there's some, there's 

167
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:18,880
some real beauty in this 
country. 

168
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,400
It's worth defending, it turns 
out. 

169
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,080
It is. 
It is. 

170
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,040
It's very hot down there though.
Yeah, yeah. 

171
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,120
No, I can't do that anymore. 
I almost died a heat stroke when

172
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,520
I was active duty, so I'm no 
longer doing the the game of the

173
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,480
the American South, OK, Do you 
want to see where you're 

174
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,400
currently stationed right now? 
Is that relevant to anything or 

175
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,480
do you want to hide that? 
Well, it it doesn't matter. 

176
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,120
I mean, the ones who oppose what
we're standing for, they all 

177
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,480
know where I live. 
So as you obviously know, they. 

178
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,200
So I was in Newport, RI when 
everything went down. 

179
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,240
I was the executive officer of a
650 person unit up there, got 

180
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,240
fired from that job and then 
exiled for seven months. 

181
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,000
And eventually when we started 
winning in court and they 

182
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,960
realized they can't court 
martial me or kick me out 

183
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,760
involuntarily, they said, hey, 
we're gonna have to put you back

184
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,400
to work. 
So after seven months of of 

185
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,040
exile and no contact where they,
you know, probably hoped that 

186
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,520
would just go away, they said, 
hey, we're gonna have to put you

187
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,320
back to work, move me back to 
Virginia. 

188
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,920
And you know, I'm in. 
I'm in the southern Virginia 

189
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,120
area now. 
OK, fair enough. 

190
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,560
No, that's good enough. 
I don't need you to get too 

191
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,720
specific, and there's no upside 
to that for anybody. 

192
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,360
Let's talk about your military 
career. 

193
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,920
You just talked about 
graduating, getting married. 

194
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,560
Obviously you've got 7 kids, so 
they came. 

195
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,680
Spanner What's your oldest and 
your youngest kid wise? 

196
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,559
Almost 16 down to two. 
Yeah that's a big spread. 

197
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,280
That's a wild that's a wild 
household. 

198
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,799
As you you mentioned before we 
got started I'm, I'm much more 

199
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:40,960
compact. 
I've got a 7 month old right now

200
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,360
who's trying to figure out how 
to walk, which scares me 'cause 

201
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,400
right when they start getting 
mobile, you know that that phase

202
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,960
where it's like, oh boy, it's I 
always tell people it's like the

203
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,760
velociraptors being able to turn
the handles in Jurassic Park 

204
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,000
where you just suddenly are like
my wife and I kind of go white 

205
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,000
eyed and we're like let's talk 
about where was your first 

206
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,720
command kind of your movement 
through. 

207
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:03,720
And and the reason I want to do 
that is I want to discuss my 

208
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,600
buddy Steve calls it the the 
system idealist. 

209
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,760
The people who love the system 
tend to be the ones that do what

210
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,040
you have done. 
Step up and say hey I'm willing 

211
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,480
to lose my job over this because
you actually believe in it. 

212
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,840
Let's talk about sort of how you
progressed and and you know 

213
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,440
where you were, where your 
commands were as a as an officer

214
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,440
moving through the Navy. 
Yeah. 

215
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,440
So I did a couple destroyer 
tours out of Norfolk. 

216
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,520
It was my very first commanding 
officer is now the the Navy 

217
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,760
Inspector General, a three star 
Admiral. 

218
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,600
I mentioned him in the book 
because I I believe that Admiral

219
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,880
John Fuller had a great 
opportunity to help stop some of

220
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,880
this lawlessness and you know he
defended the institution rather 

221
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,280
than the Constitution. 
So I talked a little bit about 

222
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,080
that. 
I I went to a shore duty 

223
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,240
command. 
After that I was doing weapon 

224
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,840
systems testing for the Navy, 
got a master's degree in 

225
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,320
operations research, a modeling 
and simulation master 

226
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,320
certificate focused on data 
analytics, things like that. 

227
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,880
I did five years as AGS and a 
reservist in the Navy and then 

228
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,720
eventually said hey, I want to 
get back and lead. 

229
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:13,280
So I reactivated permanent 
active duty as a reserve 

230
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,040
management officer and now 
that's where they sent me to 

231
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,680
Newport, RI where I was the EXO 
of a of a security squadron up 

232
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:23,560
there. 
Talk about the the culture that 

233
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:26,480
you saw and if it's evolved 
since you came in. 

234
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,520
I know it's always different 
when you're kind of a younger 

235
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,800
guy watching it. 
But as you've moved more senior 

236
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,040
in rank, what have you seen the 
evolution of our U.S. military? 

237
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,200
It's interesting. 
We had almost no training on the

238
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,160
Constitution. 
I mean, looking back on it, I 

239
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,600
didn't think it was a big deal, 
but we train on everything. 

240
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,840
Annual training for, you know, 
Sapper, you know, sexual assault

241
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,920
prevention and response for 
insider threats and 

242
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,720
cybersecurity stuff, for suicide
awareness. 

243
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,400
We train on everything every 
year, a big deal. 

244
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,960
But we don't train on the 
Constitution. 

245
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,240
And I I found that odd in 
looking back in hindsight that 

246
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,360
that I never experienced any of 
that and as I've gone up in 

247
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,680
rank, it was always imparted on 
me. 

248
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:12,480
Hey, you have more 
responsibility and instead of 

249
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,600
pushing the constitution, they 
were pushing the institution. 

250
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,440
You you know we protect this 
house. 

251
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,520
It was sort of an NFL shield 
kind of thing. 

252
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,800
When I finally put on O5 
commander in the Navy it would 

253
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,800
be the Lieutenant Colonel in the
other branches. 

254
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:34,240
I I was pulled aside by my O6. 
My my captain, and he's 

255
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,320
mentioned to me. 
Hey, you're now a senior officer

256
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,480
in the Navy. 
You're a field grade officer. 

257
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,400
You're the lowest rank of senior
officer, but you now have a huge

258
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,840
responsibility to protect the 
institution. 

259
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,280
The institution comes first. 
I had a sidebar conversation 

260
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:51,960
with him. 
He pulled me aside and and gave 

261
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,760
me that lecture like, hey, now, 
now you protect the shield. 

262
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:02,560
And I I can't think of anything 
that, you know, that set us up 

263
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:05,640
more then this mindset from our 
senior leaders. 

264
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,680
And it's been decades in in the 
making. 

265
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:10,000
We're, you know, we got into 
this problem over decades. 

266
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,360
We're not gonna get out of it in
a short period of time. 

267
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,800
It's gonna take a while. 
But we're gonna have to clean 

268
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,200
out the institutional rot that 
is protecting all of our 

269
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,480
institutions before they protect
the principles that underlined 

270
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,680
the Constitution. 
That is where we're at. 

271
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:26,360
And we have that problem in the 
military. 

272
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,800
From your story, you have that 
problem from the FBI. 

273
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,960
We have that everywhere. 
It's it's the institution above 

274
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,440
the Constitution. 
Do you think that it's because 

275
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,880
people don't know what's in the 
Constitution or what their role 

276
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,480
in defending the Constitution 
is? 

277
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,320
'Cause I I see it goes both ways
in the GSI, but I don't have any

278
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,960
eyes on sort of the senior 
military end of it. 

279
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,680
I I think it's a little bit of 
both. 

280
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:52,280
They don't understand what's in 
it, but they don't understand 

281
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,760
the underlying principles 
either. 

282
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,360
So how you defend it from the 
military perspective, we all 

283
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,880
know a foreign adversary could 
come in and you know, overthrow 

284
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,760
our constitutional way of life, 
you know, from an outside in 

285
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,280
sort of thing. 
That's what we're there to 

286
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,920
protect. 
It's it's the foreign threat, 

287
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,720
the foreign adversary, that kind
of thing. 

288
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,560
But when we take our oath, we 
raise our right hand. 

289
00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:18,520
We say, you know, I swear to 
support and defend the 

290
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,960
Constitution. 
It's not just against the 

291
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,280
foreign enemy. 
It's all enemies, foreign and 

292
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,920
domestic, right. 
So, well, I I've, I've talked 

293
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,360
about this before in other 
interviews, but the Constitution

294
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,720
does 2 main things. 
It establishes the form of our 

295
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,960
government, but then it sets 
individual liberties, individual

296
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,200
constitutional rights, as having
primacy over everything else. 

297
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,360
The Constitution is designed to 
protect individual rights, not 

298
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,280
protect the institution from 
individuals. 

299
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:53,160
So if you don't understand that 
it's individual rights that have

300
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,920
premacy, then you're missing the
point of a Constitution. 

301
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,320
There is no greater thing an 
American can do in defending the

302
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,160
Constitution than defending 
individual constitutional 

303
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,280
rights. 
And so our senior military 

304
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,840
leaders have completely set that
aside and they only focus on 

305
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,920
foreign. 
And when you know, they are 

306
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,760
asked to trample on individual 
rights, it's not a second 

307
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,320
thought for them 'cause there's 
no risk to them. 

308
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,200
And so we, we have tried to 
impart some risk recently. 

309
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,480
And you know, we, I, I wrote the
Declaration of Military 

310
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,760
Accountability. 
And you know, we have gone on 

311
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,440
the offensive a little bit and 
and public speaking and those 

312
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,760
kinds of things. 
But until we hold somebody 

313
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:37,800
accountable for trampling the 
individual rights element, what 

314
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,400
they were supposed to defend, 
the domestic enemy, we're gonna 

315
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,440
keep having this problem. 
So folks, you can find the the 

316
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,760
military accountability link 
that is in the show description.

317
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,720
You can find Rob's Twitter 
handle there as well and you can

318
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,040
click through and you can do 
that link. 

319
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,440
And then also the book, we put 
the link to the Amazon book if 

320
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,920
people want to do it. 
Is it fair to say that as a 

321
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,680
junior person, maybe as a lower 
enlisted and maybe as a junior 

322
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,400
officer, you're rightly focused 
because you're probably more in 

323
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,880
the kinetic end of things that 
you're going to be doing that 

324
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,160
that defense against the foreign
and then as you move up and rank

325
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,360
that your job becomes more and 
more guarding the individual 

326
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,920
liberties. 
I mean it seems like there may 

327
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,160
be a bifurcation there and that 
and that that sort of it, it may

328
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,600
be a spectrum that changes and 
you kind of move from as rank 

329
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:20,920
goes up. 
You might have to get more and 

330
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,360
more aware of the fact that 
you're probably going to be 

331
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,240
Pentagon based or you're going 
to be shoreside command based in

332
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,960
in a lot of places. 
Well, if there is a bifurcation,

333
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,640
I think it's an inappropriate 
1:00. 

334
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,120
Every single individual took 
that oath. 

335
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,840
Every single individual has an 
equal responsibility to defend 

336
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,440
against foreign and domestic 
enemies. 

337
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,280
And so every single person has a
responsibility to put that into 

338
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,960
practice. 
If you've seen the video of 

339
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,200
Senior Airman Lance Castle, of 
course, getting getting 

340
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:53,920
attacked, those individuals who 
did that, we're trampling upon 

341
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:59,720
his, his rights, and we're doing
so based on a lawless agenda, 

342
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,440
based on actual violations of 
the law. 

343
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,040
And so you know from the lowest 
ranks to the highest ranks, we 

344
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,440
have the same obligations there.
Now as the senior ranks go, you 

345
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,640
you get more strategic both 
against the foreign enemy and 

346
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,640
the domestic enemy is the way it
should be. 

347
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,520
It should be the ideal. 
And you're strategic and 

348
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,720
thought, you're thinking 
through, you know, much greater 

349
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,320
campaign plans and things that 
that we have to put in place to 

350
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,080
ensure that, you know, we're 
putting the right deterrence in 

351
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:38,080
place for foreign adversaries. 
But we have ignored deterring 

352
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,520
the encroachment into individual
rights and it's been going on 

353
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,960
for a very long time, decades. 
You know, it's it's not just a 

354
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,720
military problem. 
It's across society. 

355
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,800
Your issue specifically at least
came to a head underneath the 

356
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,640
the COVID vaccine mandates, but 
didn't they kind of solve some 

357
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,760
of these problems with the 
anthrax lawsuits? 

358
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,920
Didn't didn't some of that get 
addressed at some point? 

359
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:01,920
And then did we just forget it 
or how did that happen? 

360
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,079
Well, I forget it. 
Certainly it it certainly seems 

361
00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:09,160
that way. 
So in 2000, you know, one, they 

362
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,760
came out with mandates. 
It was roughly that time frame. 

363
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,599
There was a lawsuit filed 
afterwards. 

364
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:20,640
And then Dovi Rumsfeld, the 
plaintiffs, won in that case and

365
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,280
the ruling was, hey, DoD broke 
the law in 2005. 

366
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:29,240
Shortly afterwards, Congress put
in place laws protecting service

367
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,000
members from having to receive 
emergency, you know, use 

368
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,280
authorized products, 
investigation on new drugs, 

369
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,680
things like that. 
It's always been an inalienable 

370
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,520
right. 
Human beings have bodily 

371
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:45,080
autonomy rights and without, you
know, going through, you know, 

372
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:50,000
5th Amendment processes like we 
always retain those rights. 

373
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,400
So Congress, you know, giving a 
statutory law, it's a lower 

374
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,480
level law and and certainly a 
good one to say, hey, you know, 

375
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,440
you can't experiment on service 
members, but the principle has 

376
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,040
always been there. 
The constitutional principle, 

377
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,360
you know, it has supremacy over 
the statutory laws that have 

378
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:10,520
been enacted by Congress. 
And so you know, you're you're 

379
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,760
in a situation where no one 
understands any either of those 

380
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,680
things. 
The Department of Defense 

381
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,960
completely trampled both the 
statutory law and the 

382
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,640
constitutional rights in 
enacting the COVID-19 mandates. 

383
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,200
And so, yes, of course, they 
completely ignored, you know, 

384
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,000
both what happened with anthrax 
and then the laws that were 

385
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,000
enacted afterwards by Congress 
to protect service members. 

386
00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:40,480
Did those laws layout punishment
for those who violated them? 

387
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,320
Are they is that part of the the
DoD statute that that are 

388
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,080
protecting? 
No, it it doesn't layout. 

389
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,680
You know, specific punishments, 
but it does layout rights. 

390
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,040
It does state that that service 
members have a right to accept 

391
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,560
or refuse an emergency use 
product. 

392
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,840
Emergency use products were the 
only things provided to service 

393
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,320
members or you know, any 
American actually, now that 

394
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,200
we've gone and done the research
and so we've always had the 

395
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,400
right to refuse. 
And and so trampling upon that 

396
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,360
right and demanding that you, 
you know, accept the 

397
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:16,160
government's decision on your, 
you know, personal risk for, you

398
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,800
know, health risk. 
Completely insane to me, but 

399
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,760
also a very clear violation of 
both statutory law and 

400
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,640
constitutional rights. 
So my experience would be very 

401
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,720
different than yours as a guy 
who came and enlisted. 

402
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,800
I also came enlisted at 27. 
So when I remember going through

403
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,280
basic, there was a sort of 
attitude. 

404
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,040
It's like now you belong to the 
department of the Air Force son.

405
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,360
Like you know you might as well 
get it tattooed on your butt 

406
00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:40,200
kind of thing. 
And I was like, no, I'm, I'm a 

407
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,040
grown man. 
I have all kinds of rights and 

408
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,000
you have no say in them. 
Like that's not going to be the 

409
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,440
case. 
But for an 18 year old who's 

410
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,640
getting very, you know, formed 
in their mental thinking that 

411
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,240
impacts them. 
So they think, you know, I 

412
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,240
better ask you for a tattoo. 
All these other kind of deals, 

413
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,840
does the did the Department of 
the Navy sort of do that same 

414
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,800
sort of indoctrination like you 
have less rights than a regular 

415
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,680
citizen. 
Do they put that mentality out 

416
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,680
there as as those? 
I'm I'm curious on the officer 

417
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,600
side as well because the 
enlisted side, it's kind of like

418
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,240
you better ask permission before
you do anything. 

419
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,200
And you know, even just 
travelling outside of a certain 

420
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,360
radius, you know, there's all 
kinds of restrictions that fall 

421
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:17,800
on you. 
But none of those are your 

422
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,720
personal bodily autonomy, as you
just stated. 

423
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,000
But there is that attitude that 
it's like, well, you kind of 

424
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,800
signed up for this. 
You you get whatever we send 

425
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:24,640
you. 
That's your job. 

426
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,720
To a certain extent, that does 
happen. 

427
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,000
I mean, it's it's officer 
enlisted. 

428
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,320
It's everywhere. 
You know that, hey, your 

429
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,600
government property. 
Hey, you. 

430
00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:35,240
You have accepted certain 
restrictions. 

431
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:36,400
Yeah. 
It's completely wrong. 

432
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:40,160
It's in defiance of, you know, 
the clear constitutional 

433
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,640
principles that we don't lay 
down our citizenship when we, 

434
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,200
you know, join voluntarily, join
the service. 

435
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:54,040
And so yes, we do give up, you 
know, certain freedoms. 

436
00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:59,560
We we, you know, we retain all 
of our basic human rights, 

437
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,120
right? 
We our basic constitutional 

438
00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:01,920
rights. 
We retain those. 

439
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,720
But you can be told, hey, you've
got to wear this uniform, you've

440
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,000
got to wear this unit patch, You
have to cut your hair a certain 

441
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,600
way. 
We are giving up those basic 

442
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:19,640
freedoms in order to serve and 
you know, potentially sacrifice 

443
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,520
on behalf of the security of the
nation. 

444
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,320
What what cannot happen though 
is that the government take 

445
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,840
everything away. 
The government use you, as you 

446
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,400
know chattel property and assume
that you have no rights. 

447
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,760
And so that that is where you 
know where do you draw the line 

448
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,440
on what's permissible and what's
not. 

449
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,640
It's far smarter. 
People have been working on this

450
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:49,040
for centuries and and you know, 
there's UCMJ and there is legal 

451
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,080
precedent set and those laws 
have been pretty well defined. 

452
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,800
The judicial precedence has been
pretty well set. 

453
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:02,680
And yet in this particular case,
and I demonstrated in the book, 

454
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:08,440
they have violated those basic, 
you know, lines in the sand that

455
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,960
have been drawn by historical 
precedent, legal precedent, both

456
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,080
statutory and constitutional 
rights. 

457
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:20,480
So they have gone way too far in
assuming federal power over the 

458
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,880
individual. 
And it's it's forced thousands 

459
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,080
of us to stand up and say 
something about it. 

460
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,720
Do you think that if there were 
statutory penalties laid out in 

461
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,240
some of these whistleblower 
protection laws, in some of the,

462
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:34,760
you know, the the rights to not 
take a emergency youth 

463
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,400
authorization drugs, would that 
have been a barrier that would 

464
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,440
have at least been a better stop
sign or a flashing light on the 

465
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,400
stop sign that let these people 
not not kind of trample over the

466
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,200
individual liberties that were 
that were being trampled? 

467
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,080
I I absolutely do think that 
that would help. 

468
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:51,680
Now whether that's the right 
thing to do or not, I I don't 

469
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,400
know. 
I I'm beginning to be of the 

470
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,000
opinion that we have legislated 
ourselves to death, right. 

471
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,000
There's 1000 laws out there and 
you can be walking across the 

472
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,400
street and breaking a certain 
law. 

473
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,120
And having been from the law 
enforcement side, I mean it's it

474
00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:10,320
you probably understand very 
well that you can, you can use 

475
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,360
those kinds of things while you,
you know, never talk to police, 

476
00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:14,080
right. 
Yeah, I want my lawyer. 

477
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,040
That's what you say. 
Just because you can be 

478
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:21,120
entrapped into, you know, 
becoming the, the target of an 

479
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:24,400
investigation, you know, because
you've, you know, maybe broken 

480
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:25,640
three laws in the course of a 
day. 

481
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,000
You had no idea. 
We're on the books. 

482
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,440
So there are, you know, 
thousands of laws that you 

483
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,600
couldn't read the entire, you 
know, all the titles of of, you 

484
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,160
know, American statute in the 
course of a year. 

485
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,880
I get you just couldn't sit down
and do it. 

486
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:44,080
So, So is it the right thing to 
do to dictate what all the 

487
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,280
penalties are for everything? 
Probably not. 

488
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,440
But the principle you're talking
about, I think, is absolutely 

489
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,680
something that we need to have. 
We need to have accountability, 

490
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,760
we need to have repercussions 
for people who break the law. 

491
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,640
And it's why. 
It's why we went and named the 

492
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,400
military Admirals and generals 
who did. 

493
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,160
You know, we do have evidence 
broke the law. 

494
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,360
That's why we named them in the 
Declaration of Military 

495
00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:09,640
Accountability, which everybody 
can find on military 

496
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,600
accountability.com or.net. 
It'll take you to the same spot.

497
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:17,360
And it's why we laid out our 
plan to, you know, since no one 

498
00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:18,960
else is doing it. 
Congress isn't doing it. 

499
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,520
Our own leaders aren't doing. 
Executive branch isn't doing it.

500
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,880
We're gonna hold them 
accountable ourselves. 

501
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,560
And so we we lay two ways out 
that we're gonna do it. 

502
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,240
For those of us who run for 
office, we're going to introduce

503
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,040
legislation to reduce their 
retirement income to 0. 

504
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,080
For those who are, you know, 
have proven to broke the to 

505
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,920
break the law. 
And then for those who reach the

506
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,760
authority to do so, we'll talk 
to the secretary of the services

507
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,560
or Secretary of Defense. 
We're gonna recall these 

508
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,040
Admirals and generals from 
retirement for court martials, 

509
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,080
so they'll get the full, you 
know, proper judicial treatment.

510
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,760
It's gonna be fair. 
It's gonna be, you know, blind 

511
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,160
justice. 
We're gonna do it right. 

512
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,640
But the point is to introduce 
that personal risk. 

513
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,040
So if you're going to make a 
decision to trample individual 

514
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:13,280
constitutional rights, you had 
better make sure that it is. 

515
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,440
It is perfectly justified, It is
moral. 

516
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:21,240
It is ethical because our 
intention, and this is a long 

517
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,080
term time horizon project. 
Maybe it's gonna take decades, 

518
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,960
but our intention is to make 
sure that there is an element of

519
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,000
personal risk to those who are 
making those decisions. 

520
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,680
Cause historically it has not 
been the case the the, the 

521
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,880
people at that level, at the, 
you know, three and four-star 

522
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:42,040
level, they've gotta, you know 
break some egregious law, you 

523
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,640
know in some sort of personal 
behavioral issue for there to be

524
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,680
any accountability. 
And that's, you know, we're not 

525
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,680
seeing that in any other aspect 
of of, you know, legal 

526
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,920
precedence for these leaders. 
You've gotten you kind of talk 

527
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,240
to us a little bit about the 
ongoing training. 

528
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,520
I think federal employees get 
the same thing as DoD when it 

529
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,080
comes to sexual assault and 
whistleblower and all this other

530
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,040
kind of stuff. 
Do they ever talk about sort of 

531
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,520
like your responsibilities, the 
the burden of command, like what

532
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,240
your liabilities are when you 
engage in maybe executing an 

533
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,560
unlawful order? 
Have you ever had any 

534
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,280
specialized kind of discussions 
other than with your buddies? 

535
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,120
Is there any formal version of 
that? 

536
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,920
They they do a lot of training 
for those who are going to take 

537
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,200
command. 
It's it's a lot of training on 

538
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,520
the responsibilities, on 
accountability on the 

539
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,240
authorities that you have. 
They do talk a lot. 

540
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,680
There's a lot of discussions and
there's a lot of training on 

541
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,600
legal as well. 
But what they're trained to do 

542
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,640
unfortunately is rely on the 
Jag, ask Jag, go to your Jag. 

543
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,440
The Jag is the Judge Advocate 
General. 

544
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,800
It's your it's your legal 
officer. 

545
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,000
You know, they have a legal 
license. 

546
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,280
They've been through law school,
but they are officers in the 

547
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,800
military. 
And what we've seen though is 

548
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,520
that the Jag Corps, and I speak 
about this in the book, and I, I

549
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,760
name the names least on the Navy
side, Admiral Crandall, 

550
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:10,440
apparently very politicized. 
And what they did is they, 

551
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:15,960
without doing the legal due 
diligence on what their 

552
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,680
commanders wanted to do, you 
know what the administration 

553
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,840
asked them to do without doing 
the legal due diligence, They 

554
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,400
just marched forward. 
And they instead of trying to 

555
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:32,280
make sure that we were following
the law, the Jag corps circled 

556
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,520
the wagons to protect the 
commanders. 

557
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,440
And that's historically what 
they've done for a long time. 

558
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:42,080
They are there to make sure that
if the commander wants to do 

559
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,600
something, they find a loophole 
for him to do it. 

560
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,640
They make sure that they find 
some way to to protect him if it

561
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,120
goes bad. 
But there's you know you've 

562
00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:57,280
heard it said before I I have 
certainly they say hey I want to

563
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,680
go to X and he'll turn to the 
Jag and say make sure this is 

564
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,800
legal. 
And the Jag corps, the Jag 

565
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:09,720
officer said he what he hears is
make this legal And so that's 

566
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,080
that's the scenario I believe 
that played out in the last 

567
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,800
three to four years especially 
with the COVID mandates. 

568
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,320
So I guess the big question is 
why? 

569
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,160
Why? 
Why push something that people 

570
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,080
had some, you know, heels dug in
on and and were willing to lose 

571
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,360
their job over it And we're 
willing to, you know, maybe even

572
00:28:28,360 --> 00:28:29,840
face a court martial, things 
like that. 

573
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:31,760
And they obviously a lot of 
people got kicked out of the 

574
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,560
service over it. 
Why would they do that? 

575
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,240
I, I, I try to figure that out, 
and and I just can't, right? 

576
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,840
Like, why do we have sin in the 
world? 

577
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:41,760
You know why? 
Why? 

578
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,240
I mean, we're never gonna solve 
all these things. 

579
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,880
There is an element of 
careerism, selfishness in all of

580
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:52,440
this. 
And you know, I'm still, you 

581
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,120
know, I've written articles and 
I've written op eds and I'm 

582
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,360
trying to bring attention to a 
lot of the different things here

583
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:03,280
that that seem to provide 
evidence that not only are we, 

584
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,160
you know, have we broken the 
law, but are continuing to dig 

585
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,040
our heels in and not like, right
these wrongs not address this 

586
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,000
head on. 
You know that hey, as an 

587
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,000
institution, military, we made a
mistake. 

588
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:18,080
Let's fix this. 
So I I've tried to bring in some

589
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:22,320
evidence of the recruiting 
issues and why the betrayal of 

590
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,080
trust has gotten us to the 
situation where you know we're 

591
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:32,240
41,000 service members under 
target for recruiting in in you 

592
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,120
know this coming year. 
So like I'll give you a couple 

593
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:40,040
examples, couple numbers at the 
in, in the height of the 

594
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,320
pandemic if you you know if you 
want to call it that, at the 

595
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:49,280
height of of of the fear at 
least we were 7000 and we had 

596
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,560
7000 gaps at sea on operational 
sea duty billets. 

597
00:29:54,280 --> 00:30:00,720
So for all of our ships you know
250 plus ships in total we 

598
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,320
should have had 7000 more people
operating those ships. 

599
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,400
So they're undermanned, 
understaffed, under equipped and

600
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:15,240
in the years since that has 
ballooned to over 21,000 gaps at

601
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,960
operational sea duty billets. 
So it's tripled. 

602
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:24,600
And when I bring this to our 
leaders attention, you know, 

603
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,040
they they ignore it, they don't 
care. 

604
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:27,680
They'll pat themselves on the 
back. 

605
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,680
Oh well, you know we've applied 
this additional amount of money 

606
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,440
to resources. 
We've we've pulled these great 

607
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,880
sailors from these other shore 
duty billets and we've made them

608
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,560
recruiters. 
And you know I'm, I'm Privy to 

609
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,440
some communication at the three 
and the four-star level where 

610
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,520
they're congratulating 
themselves on the changes month 

611
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:52,120
to month and not looking at the 
drastic horrible downturn that 

612
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:57,080
we've had that is not improving.
And when you say, hey maybe 

613
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,400
start with the 8500 
Conscientious service members 

614
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,880
that you kicked out, try to 
offer them back pay. 

615
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,960
Try to do something to bring 
them back in, Rebuild trust that

616
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,120
the American people can tell 
their kids, oh, hey, you know 

617
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,600
what? 
You could join the military 

618
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,680
'cause they will defend your 
rights and not just use you for 

619
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,840
some military industrial 
complex. 

620
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,280
You know, war or something, 
right? 

621
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,000
They're they're not just gonna 
risk your life in vain. 

622
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,160
And so, you know, we have this 
situation where they're ignoring

623
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:34,760
all of these warning signs and 
they're digging their heels in. 

624
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,400
So is there gonna be, are they 
gonna, you know, be? 

625
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,520
I think they're aware. 
They're certainly aware that 

626
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:46,360
there's a problem. 
But there is no moral courage to

627
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:51,320
do anything about it because I I
believe it's all careerism. 

628
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,280
I believe it's, you know, 
especially the three and the 

629
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,120
four-star level. 
They're looking for board 

630
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,840
memberships afterwards. 
They're looking for lucrative 

631
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,840
deals. 
And we have a big problem with 

632
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,240
that in the military. 
And so, you know, they just 

633
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,360
don't wanna tip the applecart. 
Is it hubris? 

634
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,040
Is it pride? 
Or is it a lack of humility 

635
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,400
that's going on there if we're 
gonna take this into the moral 

636
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,640
realm? 
I I can't speak to what's going 

637
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,840
on inside the minds and the 
consciences of anybody else. 

638
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,800
I mean, I I can only speak for 
myself in in those regards. 

639
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,920
I have a lot of hubris, I have a
lot of pride and a lot of sin. 

640
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,760
So I I can only focus on myself 
there. 

641
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:35,280
But there's there's certainly no
acknowledgement of what's 

642
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,320
happened. 
There's no acknowledgements, 

643
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,200
even though we have federal 
courts who have ruled that the 

644
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,880
DoD and individual services have
broken the law. 

645
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,080
I mean, they still won't 
acknowledge it. 

646
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,120
They still won't publicly say, 
hey, our bad, let's fix this. 

647
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:57,120
They're they're not, you know, I
think Congressman Gates in a 

648
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,600
recent hearing asked the 
Secretary of Defense. 

649
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,760
Hey, you know, you kick these 
people out, are you gonna bring 

650
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,720
them back? 
Are you gonna make any effort to

651
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,200
bring them back? 
And his answers was simple. 

652
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,120
No, I will not. 
And so that's, that's the 

653
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,800
situation we're in. 
You know, it seems to be from 

654
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,800
the top down to to dig, dig 
heels in. 

655
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:23,120
And until we're willing to 
embrace the red, to focus on 

656
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,800
what was done wrong, to 
completely hot wash all of this,

657
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,200
and then come up with solutions 
to rebuild trust, we're going to

658
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,920
continue to have these problems.
It's interesting that you're 

659
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,200
you're pointing out what I think
of the same problems that we saw

660
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,040
at DoD going obviously down to 
my spice at the FBI. 

661
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,040
But the Durham report was sort 
of this outside influence coming

662
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,800
in and investigating what 
happened with Trump and all 

663
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,720
these other kind of political 
things we saw that were in the 

664
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,720
background in the vortex of this
and the thing that that Durham 

665
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,720
said that was so disheartening 
to me, and I think so obvious. 

666
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,360
But it's also what you just said
about institution over 

667
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,840
constitution, which I'm going to
steal, by the way, 'cause I love

668
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,800
it. 
The thing that that he said is 

669
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,480
that there was no law, there's 
no policy, there's no procedure 

670
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:03,760
that would have solved this 
problem. 

671
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,280
It was a values issue. 
And if we don't have federal 

672
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,880
agents and federal employees 
that respect the Constitution 

673
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,239
1st and know that this is their 
responsibility, then we're never

674
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:15,760
going to be able to legislate 
our way out of it. 

675
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,120
And I think you've said a lot of
the same things, but all these 

676
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,040
different voices are saying the 
same thing from different 

677
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:22,840
angles, from different 
viewpoints, from different 

678
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,960
government agencies and 
departments, government, a 

679
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,440
federal government issue. 
It seems like here's where I'm, 

680
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,560
I'm very curious and I don't 
know if you have any visibility 

681
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,400
to this, but I saw you call out 
Matthew Lohmeyer the other day 

682
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:33,600
and we've had him on the show 
here. 

683
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,880
He talks a lot about cultural 
Marxism and it's rot that it's 

684
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,320
done to the military. 
The one thing we know about 

685
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,440
Marxism is that it's a a 
collectivist idea, which is to 

686
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,760
say the institution over the 
individual, which is a lot of 

687
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,440
what you've just said. 
Do you think there is a Marxist 

688
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,199
or a cultural Marxist, the sort 
of collective attitude that is 

689
00:34:52,199 --> 00:34:54,920
driving some of this in the 
promotion structure? 

690
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,800
Is it, does it come from the top
down? 

691
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,760
Does it come from the bottom up?
Is it all the time? 

692
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,080
Any thoughts that you have on 
that sort of subject, if you're 

693
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,200
comfortable, Yeah. 
I'm not the expert on that. 

694
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,400
You mentioned that I I called 
that Matt, just for clarity's 

695
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,560
sake. 
It was a call out like, hey, we 

696
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,480
should do something together. 
Yeah, this is. 

697
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,040
This guy's he's he's got it. 
So Matt's great. 

698
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:18,080
We've we've chatted before and 
his book that's where you know 

699
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,560
send everybody to that book 
cause that's that's the book 

700
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:25,640
that describes what's going on 
in the military with Marxism so 

701
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,880
irresistible revolution. 
Check that out. 

702
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,160
Matt Lomer does, does a great 
job in describing, you know, 

703
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:35,320
from his perspective what he's 
seen in terms of the Marxist 

704
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,760
influence in the military. 
And and I can only echo you 

705
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,920
know, Matt, that yes, I mean 
I've seen it too. 

706
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,480
Certainly where collective 
principles are placed over 

707
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,600
individual rights And you know, 
at the senior, you know, at the 

708
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,720
senior ranks it it's gonna be 
hard to decipher whether they're

709
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:55,280
a Marxist or whether they're, 
you know, careerists and just 

710
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,640
want to go along with, you know,
whatever the latest narrative or

711
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:03,680
agenda is from the top. 
But we certainly have a 

712
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,560
principles problem in the 
military And you know, based on,

713
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,320
you know, Matt's research and 
Matt's experience, I would say 

714
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,760
yes, there there is Marxist 
influence and so a lot of that 

715
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,320
as well. 
And so in other words, you've 

716
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:16,240
seen. 
Some of this, I mean, you're 

717
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:17,960
obviously familiar with the 
story, and I wasn't trying to 

718
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,400
say you were calling about. 
I thought it was like a cool 

719
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:20,480
thing. 
You were saying, hey, we need to

720
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,080
get together and teach some of 
these service academies about 

721
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,320
the things that we know our 
problems and who better than 

722
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:26,360
people that have experienced 
them. 

723
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,080
Do you think that that's 
permeated the Navy as well as it

724
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,200
across the board? 
It's not just unique to Air 

725
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,000
Force, Space Force, which is, 
you know, a little different 

726
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,920
animal than than some of the 
other fighting forces. 

727
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:38,400
Yeah, it's. 
It's. 

728
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,880
Certainly across the board the 
same leadership cultural 

729
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,800
problems we have are you know 
DoD wide right now and I will 

730
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,440
say for the institution versus 
the constitution you mentioned 

731
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:53,240
that and and stealing it and 
please spread it around check 

732
00:36:53,240 --> 00:36:56,880
out and and maybe have people go
check out my latest article I 

733
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,160
real clear defense it's the 
institution of the constitution 

734
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,800
unraveling the COVID-19 mandates
for the joint force in that. 

735
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,720
I wrote that with Vice Admiral 
Dean Lee. 

736
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,520
He's a retired three star Coast 
Guard Admiral. 

737
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,200
And you know, we we've had no 
help from any active duty, 

738
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,480
Admiral General to help, you 
know, fight for constitutional 

739
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:18,520
rights. 
And you know, 'cause they 

740
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,160
circled the wagons around the 
institution, right. 

741
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,880
A few of the retired Admirals 
and generals took, you know, 

742
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,920
great personal risk. 
You know, they lost friends over

743
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,280
it. 
But they have come to our aid 

744
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,920
from a strategic leadership 
perspective and have joined in 

745
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,920
the fight. 
And I certainly talk about 

746
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,160
calling out people. 
I certainly want to mention Vice

747
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,440
Admiral Dean Lee. 
I I hope, you know, if you have 

748
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,880
me on again, I'll, I'll see if 
he'll come and join us, 'cause 

749
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:48,360
he got a lot of wisdom. 
He's a great Christian guy and 

750
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,600
and he understands this fight in
in a way that many people don't.

751
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,720
Let's let's pivot a. 
Little bit to the values thing 

752
00:37:55,720 --> 00:37:59,800
and and specifically COVID-19 I 
want to go to prior to the 

753
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:04,880
mandates, I want to go to what 
you saw and what you perceived 

754
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,320
personally. 
So this is obviously not 

755
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,760
representing anything that's 
happening on the force wide, but

756
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:14,720
what did you a man, a father, a 
husband Catholic see in let's 

757
00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:20,320
say January to June of 2020 as 
we're hearing the so-called 

758
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,800
pandemic and it's rolling out 
and you're in what Rhode Island 

759
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,280
at the time, is that right, 
Rhode Island? 

760
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:25,000
OK. 
So you're east. 

761
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:25,840
Coast I had a. 
Similar. 

762
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,440
I was in Virginia, so I was 
outside of DC What were you 

763
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,080
seeing and what were you 
perceiving news What were you 

764
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,600
taking that and and digesting 
and and what were you saying, 

765
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,760
you know what was true and what 
was not in your in your mind. 

766
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,040
Yeah, I spoke a little bit 
about. 

767
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,760
This in the book. 
At first you don't know what to 

768
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,320
expect. 
I mean, there is a lot of fear. 

769
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,160
There's a lot of, hey, what is 
this thing? 

770
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,880
Is it gonna kill 75% of the 
world's population? 

771
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,440
Like we have no idea. 
It did not take me long. 

772
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:56,320
You could you could count the 
days on, you know, one hand, the

773
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:00,680
number of days where it took me 
to realize that that, hey, this 

774
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,680
this isn't going to be what they
say it is. 

775
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,000
You know, this fear mongering is
not, does not seem to be 

776
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,520
accurate. 
And what made me realize that is

777
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,360
for the most part and this is a 
principles issue, I try to see 

778
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,840
things in the world from a 
spiritual warfare perspective. 

779
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:25,160
And and so from that perspective
I'm watching who has values that

780
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,520
are more similar to mine, you 
know who, Who puts their 

781
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:32,920
spiritual life 1st and who's you
know, living some different 

782
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,280
values, You know whatever those 
values are hedonistic or or 

783
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:40,320
something else, right? 
Or you know anti God, anti 

784
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,480
authority anti whatever. 
I mean I could just be naming 

785
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,200
all the all the bad things but 
I'm not going to. 

786
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,080
So I'm I'm looking at the 
differences and for the the 

787
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,800
people that go on you know may 
were making media appearances 

788
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,040
during that early time in the 
pandemic. 

789
00:39:55,600 --> 00:40:02,400
It was it was the people who 
most had my values kind of an 

790
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,600
eternal outlook. 
Believed in God, believed in 

791
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,080
heaven and hell who were 
offering caution. 

792
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,360
Who are saying, let's let's wait
and see, let's take care of 

793
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:13,800
people, let's try to do things 
right. 

794
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,360
But you know, we don't need this
fear, right? 

795
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,720
And for me and my wife, as we 
were navigating all this, he 

796
00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:24,160
said, hey, if we're taken, we're
taken, but we're going to, you 

797
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,520
know, put God first. 
We're not going to live in fear,

798
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,240
you know, we believe that, you 
know, if we die in the state of 

799
00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:33,040
grace, you know, we're we're 
going to have eventually get to 

800
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,320
heaven. 
So that's that was our 

801
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,160
perspective. 
The folks who were most 

802
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,200
clamoring for fear. 
The folks you know, who 

803
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,120
apparently you know, don't 
believe in God, don't believe in

804
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,840
heaven and hell, and they're 
grasping desperately for this 

805
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:48,480
life because they don't believe 
in an afterlife. 

806
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:53,360
It doesn't appear that way. 
The same people who clamor for a

807
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,600
so-called right to, you know, 
kill their children in the womb,

808
00:40:57,240 --> 00:40:59,280
Those were the people using 
language. 

809
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:03,480
Like if it just saves one life, 
if it just saves one life. 

810
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,360
We need to do all these tons of 
mitigation measures and the and 

811
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:15,040
and the disparate application of
saving one life blew my mind and

812
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,440
it opened my eyes to how 
ludicrous this whole thing was 

813
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:19,400
for me. 
Right. 

814
00:41:19,720 --> 00:41:22,200
And so you know I'm a I'm a 
pro-life Catholic. 

815
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:27,720
And, you know, if it just saves 
one life, there are, you know, 

816
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,400
hundreds of thousands of 
different ways we could apply 

817
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:34,040
federal dollars or, you know, 
not send $100 billion to Ukraine

818
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,800
or whatever, that we could 
develop programs to just save 

819
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,600
one life, right? 
For for the unborn and, by the 

820
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,000
way, your body. 
Bodily autonomy be damned on 

821
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,360
that one the God forbid. 
It's like the people, the, the, 

822
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,400
I don't know, the the amusement 
of the ideas that must run into 

823
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:53,040
each other at full speed. 
It was complete for me in 2020. 

824
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,200
I don't know if you saw the same
thing. 

825
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:58,160
It's like, how strong is that 
cognitive dissonance that you're

826
00:41:58,160 --> 00:41:59,800
saying? 
Yeah, just one life and we must 

827
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,480
infringe on all your civil 
liberties as you walk around. 

828
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,960
By the way, we we still really 
want to kill babies all the way 

829
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,120
up to the point after they're 
born, 'cause they're really 

830
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,640
inconvenient. 
It's it's such a strange, it's 

831
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,520
such a strange position to try 
to stake out. 

832
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,640
There's no intellectual honesty 
whatsoever. 

833
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,720
So you were seeing that. 
What about the death count? 

834
00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:18,920
Did you see the death count on 
the on the TV's that were 

835
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,440
running? 
But out of curiosity, what what 

836
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:25,160
TV's are on Almost all offices I
see these days that are 

837
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,000
government have a news feed of 
some kind piped in somewhere. 

838
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,240
What? 
What television programs were 

839
00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:32,600
being watched in the places that
you were working? 

840
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:34,200
It's. 
It's mostly. 

841
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:39,720
Like MSNBC or CNN, because of 
the language used nowadays, 

842
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,840
folks were, you know, even if 
they were a more conservative 

843
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,160
person than they preferred Fox 
News. 

844
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,280
And by the way, at this point, I
believe it's all, you know, 

845
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:52,000
uniparty, you know, backing for 
globalists agendas, right. 

846
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:57,440
I, I, you know, even when you 
get to what I previously 

847
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,920
considered, you know kind of far
right networks that aren't 

848
00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:03,560
mainstream, I'm still 
researching the money behind it 

849
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,480
because I don't trust it. 
So you know you gotta go to 

850
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,080
places like this. 
You gotta go to your show. 

851
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,880
Just two guys talking podcasters
who have independence, right. 

852
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,440
That's right. 
That's where you gotta go the to

853
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,840
try to get you know independent 
sources and I don't care if if 

854
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,320
you're left-leaning or right 
leaning or whatever. 

855
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,880
I just don't trust the money 
behind it and none of those 

856
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,720
people should either go go find 
individual people. 

857
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:30,680
So anyway, yes, the my body, my 
choice thing was, was crazy 

858
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,680
because it meant one thing for 
certain people and another thing

859
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,360
for other people. 
And then when you got to the 

860
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:40,160
death counts, and I'm glad you 
brought that up, it started with

861
00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:44,720
death rates. 
And this is what blew my mind. 

862
00:43:44,720 --> 00:43:48,280
I wrote about this in the book. 
I think the chapter was Pandemic

863
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:53,960
of Fear might be Chapter 4 in 
the book but when the death 

864
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,880
rates the death rates you know 
they they were a little higher 

865
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:02,600
up front and there are some 
reasons I think that Death Race 

866
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,720
and this is not the the podcast 
nor am I the expert to get into 

867
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:10,680
it but you know Remdesivir 
protocols and no no 

868
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,800
antibacterials for people with 
post COVID pneumonia like are 

869
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,120
you kidding me like those kinds 
of things when it has a chance 

870
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,560
that they just threw out all. 
Normal medical treatment, they 

871
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,040
were like, don't come in unless 
you're dying. 

872
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,000
And when you're dying, then 
we're gonna intubate you, which 

873
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,280
is the one way we take away your
airway, you know, airway. 

874
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,920
And we put you on these, these 
sedatives so we can we relax all

875
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,000
your your, your diaphragm, and 
we're going to take over. 

876
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:32,880
Like what? 
You never do that. 

877
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,760
You always support respiration. 
I'm a paramedic, so I did that 

878
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,120
for a decade. 
I can speak a little bit to it, 

879
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,760
but it's like you always support
the, you know, the lowest level 

880
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,760
of intervention is normal. 
And they went like, Nope, we're 

881
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,640
just going to do weird stuff 
right off the gate. 

882
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,240
It looked really weird for me. 
I'm sure you saw the same. 

883
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,720
Oh yeah, I mean, we're talking. 
I mean just to be clear for all 

884
00:44:51,720 --> 00:44:55,400
your audience, we're talking 
about institutionally encouraged

885
00:44:55,400 --> 00:45:01,160
and then mandated murder and and
anyway so the death counts were 

886
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:05,880
a little higher up front and as 
the death count started, you 

887
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:10,320
know, going lower, they switched
to or sorry the death rates, the

888
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,400
death rates were higher 
initially. 

889
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:16,320
And as the death rates compared 
to people who you know got the 

890
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,480
virus and started recovering and
you know certain good doctors 

891
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,560
are trying to do the right 
thing, those rates started to 

892
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:27,400
lower. 
So the the fear mongers and and 

893
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,640
the people, you know, I'll, I'll
say it again, you know, the 

894
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,160
globalist agenda. 
You know, Uniparty paid whatever

895
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,440
they they shifted to cumulative 
death counts. 

896
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,920
And it is just to make. 
People like, oh man, you know, 

897
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:47,000
another 100,000 people died. 
You know, you do have the 

898
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,840
motorcycle accidents came in and
they, the hospitals got money. 

899
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,240
They had to test for COVID 
because there's money behind 

900
00:45:54,240 --> 00:45:57,320
testing for COVID and then 
there's money behind getting a 

901
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,760
positive. 
And of course for a death 

902
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:04,160
there's more money for that. 
So you know, you it, I mean it's

903
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,640
it's it's a mess. 
I'm not the expert on it. 

904
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,400
There are books out there about 
it, but. 

905
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,600
But that is certainly what we 
saw early on and what, you know,

906
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,880
my wife and I had the decision 
was, you know, we're we're not 

907
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,240
gonna do any of this. 
We're not gonna hide the image 

908
00:46:19,240 --> 00:46:21,240
of God that we've been given our
faces. 

909
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,560
My wife never wore a mask. 
My children never wore one. 

910
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:26,960
You know, they never saw me wear
one. 

911
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:35,400
And so, you know, to my shame, I
compromised on that element for 

912
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,720
a for a little while and then 
eventually, you know, I I'm 

913
00:46:38,720 --> 00:46:40,360
never gonna do that kind of 
thing again. 

914
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:44,240
And I did refuse all COVID 
testing and and that was part of

915
00:46:44,240 --> 00:46:46,760
why I ultimately got fired and 
then exiled. 

916
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,920
So it was not just refusing the 
vaccine, but refusing testing 

917
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:52,400
and refusing some of those other
protocols. 

918
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,600
So you got banned from my 
building for a while. 

919
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,840
That was that was fun. 
But my wife is the truly 

920
00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:59,880
courageous person behind all 
this. 

921
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,800
You know, she was the one kind 
of pushing me like, you know, in

922
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:07,080
into this fight. 
You know, she was, you know, 

923
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,640
getting you know, dressed down 
and standing, you know, standing

924
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,640
down grocery store managers and 
and things like that, you know, 

925
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,960
in front of all the kids. 
Like she's the one with true 

926
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,200
courage. 
So she actually, she tells this 

927
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:23,400
story and and she's been invited
to do a podcast with feds for 

928
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:27,160
for freedom and she tells a 
story of when she, you know, 

929
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:28,840
turned to me and called me a 
coward. 

930
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:34,080
So I had. 
To I had to dig in deep. 

931
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,080
Yeah, well. 
There's some interesting sort of

932
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,400
commonalities there that you and
I share, 'cause I also refused 

933
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,480
those COVID tests and they told 
me every 72 hours. 

934
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,000
And I was like, I'm not outing 
myself that way. 

935
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,320
To everybody else, it's none of 
their business. 

936
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,160
But also and and I was kicked 
out of my building. 

937
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:49,880
Did you get a wall? 
Did they put you on a wall at 

938
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,240
all for that? 
No, but I had a lot of. 

939
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:53,760
Service members who were 
reaching out. 

940
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,720
So there was tons of us trying 
to protect others and service 

941
00:47:56,720 --> 00:47:59,680
members were reaching up, 
reaching out to us with that 

942
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:01,880
exact issue. 
That's what they they did to my.

943
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,400
Fennel service and you're going 
like, I'm not AWOL. 

944
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:05,920
I showed up. 
You told me to go home, 'cause 

945
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:07,000
they wouldn't let me in the 
building. 

946
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,680
Like what are you a holes doing 
that's not real standing 

947
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,800
standing in the heat of the. 
Day, you know, out there outside

948
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,080
the building, you know, 'cause 
they can't go in. 

949
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,720
And this this poor young lady, 
she's a, she was a dentist and 

950
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,840
and she wouldn't do the test. 
And so they, you know, they 

951
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,680
eventually started trying to 
call her AWOL. 

952
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,880
Then they started talking about 
sending her to behavioral health

953
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:29,640
because she must be crazy for 
not. 

954
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,160
Yeah, like that kind of stuff. 
So she actually reached out to 

955
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:34,200
me and I wrote about this in the
book. 

956
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,400
She reached out to me and said, 
I'm very concerned that they're 

957
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,680
going to force me into 
behavioral health and then force

958
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:45,400
medicate me with with with stuff
and and so yeah, there was some 

959
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,520
of that going on in the military
and you saw some of that, you 

960
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,280
know, in in the video with Lance
Castle like that. 

961
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,000
They were what did they hit him?
Do you know what they hit? 

962
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,120
Things. 
Do you know what they injected 

963
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:55,120
him with? 
Was that a sedative? 

964
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:56,360
No. 
So. 

965
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,520
I don't think he got forcibly 
injected with anything. 

966
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:01,000
Now he and I haven't had a 
chance to talk. 

967
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:02,040
I saw it in the video. 
They. 

968
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:03,120
They. 
Injected him with something. 

969
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:06,040
It's in the video that we've 
shared. 

970
00:49:06,240 --> 00:49:07,440
You can well, so here's the 
thing. 

971
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:08,480
I got an eye for this sort of 
thing. 

972
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,440
It's like that's my sedating a 
patient is something you do when

973
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,440
they're combative sometimes, and
so hitting him with a benzo or 

974
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:16,920
something like that to drop them
down a level, people do that for

975
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:18,440
excited delirium. 
There's all these different 

976
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,760
protocols, but I watched them. 
They the the dogpile happened on

977
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:23,440
arms and legs, which is where 
you go first. 

978
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,360
Then they controlled his torso 
and somebody injected him with 

979
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:27,480
something, but we don't know 
what. 

980
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,400
So I don't know, maybe I can 
talk to him. 

981
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,160
I also wonder if I ran across 
him at some point in time in my 

982
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:33,560
Air Force career, 'cause he 
looks really familiar. 

983
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,040
He's got that kind of face that 
looks familiar. 

984
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,400
But it would not surprise me 
that I, because of the way that 

985
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,960
I feel like God has been moving 
in a lot of this, that I've just

986
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,840
run across people that have no 
business having any common 

987
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:49,320
connection to. 
I want to ask the the difficult 

988
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,400
question, How did your church 
respond? 

989
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:55,440
How was your faith community 
responding to this in the 

990
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,480
Northeast 'cause I saw a lot of 
them do the opposite of courage 

991
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:00,120
and I'm curious if yours was the
same. 

992
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,120
Yeah, that. 
That is the first time I've been

993
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:06,640
asked that question. 
It is, it is the toughest one. 

994
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,840
We were at a fraternity parish 
in the Diocese of Richmond, 

995
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:16,160
which is how I first heard of 
your of of your work and heard 

996
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,880
your name, which thank you by 
the way, for your courage. 

997
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:26,240
And so we that's where we were 
before the pandemic in 2019. 

998
00:50:26,240 --> 00:50:31,040
I got moved up to Rhode Island 
and you know I was not at the 

999
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:35,920
fraternity parish in Richmond. 
Sorry, in in in where where we 

1000
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,320
were in in the Virginia Beach 
area. 

1001
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:43,920
But I've heard it could have 
been done better. 

1002
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:49,000
And what I what I will say 
though is I thank God for the 

1003
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,560
for the sake of my faith 
personally. 

1004
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:55,720
He had us move to where we were,
'cause we had a diocesan priest 

1005
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:57,280
who offered the traditional 
Latin Mass. 

1006
00:50:57,560 --> 00:50:59,680
Very courageous guy. 
You can go find him. 

1007
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:03,240
He's, he's at Ipadre, I think on
on Twitter. 

1008
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,360
Great, fantastic. 
He he is a spiritual father, a 

1009
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,040
wonderful man. 
Very courageous. 

1010
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:13,360
The the kind of person who would
offer secret masses, the kind of

1011
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:18,360
person who never enforced 
anything that that that violated

1012
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:24,280
people's consciences. 
And we were there in in that 

1013
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,960
environment with that kind of 
leader and that helped get my, 

1014
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,200
you know, me and my family 
through the pandemic without, 

1015
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,720
without feelings of betrayal. 
And we're talking people who 

1016
00:51:36,720 --> 00:51:41,520
believe like us, we believe in 
eternal life, right? 

1017
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:45,680
And so if we're so desperately 
grasping for this life, we have 

1018
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:50,160
something missing. 
And and you know, if you're if 

1019
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,040
you're willing to go along, 
especially with lies, when you, 

1020
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,840
when you realize that hey, the 
mask was a lie, there's no way 

1021
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,040
it could ever work. 
You've been? 

1022
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,080
Through C Bernie training, I'm 
sure of it, Everybody gets a 

1023
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,800
little taste of it. 
We yeah, we all know what a mop,

1024
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,360
what a mop Level 4 looks like, 
and even that's not guaranteed 

1025
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,400
to save you and it's duct taping
yourself to all the different 

1026
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,200
barriers and you're going to put
over a piece of bandana. 

1027
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:10,880
I always tell people because 
it's just so easy. 

1028
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,480
But it's like you ever been in 
an elevator and smelled a fart 

1029
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,240
like that, Went through 
somebody's underwear and their 

1030
00:52:15,240 --> 00:52:18,160
jeans, and then into your face. 
You think a bandana's gonna do 

1031
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:20,560
something to a virus? 
Like, come on, what are we doing

1032
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,640
here? 
It's so silly and sad. 

1033
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:24,680
So you. 
The molecule size is very. 

1034
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,040
Different. 
Oh, of course it's so. 

1035
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:27,480
It's so simple. 
I mean, just a basic 

1036
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,800
understanding of size. 
I told somebody that I was also 

1037
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,040
gonna erect a a chain link fence
in my backyard to keep the 

1038
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,880
mosquitoes out, 'cause that's 
that's the same mentality when 

1039
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,720
it comes to actual sizing. 
But your your church actually 

1040
00:52:37,720 --> 00:52:38,560
stood together. 
See? 

1041
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:42,040
How many, how many people do you
think experienced a priest that 

1042
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:46,160
said our forefathers in faith 
would have died over this. 

1043
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,600
They offered Masses in the 
catacombs around the stinking 

1044
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:52,240
corpses in order to continue to 
celebrate when it was when it 

1045
00:52:52,240 --> 00:52:54,240
was outlawed. 
And then other people just like 

1046
00:52:54,240 --> 00:52:55,720
my church, they just shut it 
down. 

1047
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,160
Oh, nobody in the cry room. 
It's dangerous. 

1048
00:52:58,720 --> 00:53:00,840
And you're like I got crying 
little kid. 

1049
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:02,960
I got these little people. 
They're they're not going to be 

1050
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:04,720
able to do this and they're 
certainly not going to wear a 

1051
00:53:04,720 --> 00:53:09,160
mask you know and and they shut 
it down I will say for. 

1052
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:14,920
For a lot of those churches, the
fear is was not of the virus 

1053
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:16,800
like 'cause. 
'Cause they? 

1054
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,520
'Cause you know, especially for 
these, you know, traditionally 

1055
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:24,760
leaning, you know, Orthodox, 
believing, you know, Catholic or

1056
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:29,240
Catholic Catholic churches, the 
fear wasn't of the virus. 

1057
00:53:29,240 --> 00:53:31,960
The fear was of getting shut 
down by the Bishop, right? 

1058
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:34,440
Or by the OR by the. 
Local health authorities or. 

1059
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:36,480
Whatever was gonna come in some 
government intervention, right? 

1060
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,320
Which is still Fear of man. 
Yes, so my. 

1061
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:43,520
Issue with it all is it is a 
fear based decision and we're 

1062
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:49,040
called to act encouraged and so 
you know there's prudence there 

1063
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:52,760
too. 
So I I, I have tried much more 

1064
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:58,920
recently to not judge as best as
possible the the prudential 

1065
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:02,560
decisions of others who actually
have authority over the church. 

1066
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:04,800
I don't have, I only have 
authority, you know, in my own 

1067
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:09,200
family and over my own body. 
And so, you know, I I don't, I 

1068
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,960
don't want to second guess other
people's decisions about 

1069
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,400
prudence. 
I I will just say that had I 

1070
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:19,720
been there at the time and at my
level of spiritual maturity, it 

1071
00:54:19,720 --> 00:54:21,760
might have been very dangerous 
to my fate. 

1072
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:27,200
And so God had had moved me 
somewhere else and I and I got a

1073
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:32,960
somebody who had much more of 
our style of, you know, fighting

1074
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,320
back. 
I guess so, yeah. 

1075
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,280
But but God works those ways. 
He knows people's strengths and 

1076
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:41,160
weaknesses and you know, 
everybody has has what they 

1077
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,880
need. 
So yeah, it's it's quite. 

1078
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,480
Interesting to me, our faith 
journey was that my wife was 

1079
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:48,440
coming into the Catholic Church 
at that point in time and had 

1080
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,240
been raised without religion, 
and so we saw them shut this 

1081
00:54:51,240 --> 00:54:52,520
down. 
We went to New Mexico. 

1082
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:56,280
New Mexico was actually more 
open than than Virginia. 

1083
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:57,920
That doesn't make any sense 
cause New Mexico's very 

1084
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,560
left-leaning and very blue and 
you just kind of like, wait, 

1085
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,520
what? 
But all of that ended up kind of

1086
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,760
driving us hard into it. 
It's like, OK, well we're only 

1087
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,080
going to accept sort of 
intensity now. 

1088
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,600
It's got to be full bore. 
And then of course every once in

1089
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:11,600
a while God will put you to a 
decision for all your chips, 

1090
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,920
which you've been in that fight.
Let's talk about setting that 

1091
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:18,040
red line. 
I always say prepare repair, you

1092
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:19,640
probably heard me say it in the 
ad reads. 

1093
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,800
But I think that that affects 
both our spiritual life, our 

1094
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,680
financial life, our physical 
life, our our our fitness. 

1095
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,000
But but being able to do it with
your faith and being able to do 

1096
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,800
it with your values because if 
you don't know what the what 

1097
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,520
your stance is on a challenge 
and you get challenged, often 

1098
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:35,920
times you will falter. 
That's the reason why we do 

1099
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:37,600
basic trainings. 
That's why we do stress 

1100
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,320
inoculations for for military 
training. 

1101
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,560
You want to talk about some of 
that mentality and and maybe how

1102
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,560
many people lost ground during 
that time because they hadn't 

1103
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,160
had that chance. 
Most of us didn't know it was 

1104
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:47,280
coming. 
I think that's fair. 

1105
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:48,720
Yeah. 
So. 

1106
00:55:48,720 --> 00:55:50,840
I. 
Like to talk about it as a fifth

1107
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:52,440
generation war. 
It's a spiritual war. 

1108
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,200
It's a fifth generation war. 
Those are not exactly the same 

1109
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,200
things, but there's significant 
overlap. 

1110
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:02,840
And so if you are in a fifth 
generation war, you know, it's 

1111
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,360
it's a war for hearts and minds,
a spiritual war, very similar. 

1112
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:07,320
It's a war for your for your 
heart, mind your soul. 

1113
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:13,200
If you are encouraged to go 
along with a lie and then you 

1114
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:17,560
compromise on that lie, you are 
ceding ground in the 5th 

1115
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,840
generation warfare. 
You're ceding ground in in your 

1116
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:20,680
own spiritual war. 
Right. 

1117
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:23,880
You're you're gonna, you're 
gonna compromise on something 

1118
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,360
that you know to be true. 
And the mask is a good example. 

1119
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:31,440
And so and I'll, I'll tell a 
couple stories like there was a 

1120
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:36,080
a a a recruit for the Navy who I
got to talk to, you know, nine 

1121
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:39,840
months after this actually went 
down, he had joined the delay 

1122
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:45,120
entry program for the Navy. 
He, the mandate came out. 

1123
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:49,360
So before, you know, before it 
was during pandemic but before 

1124
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:51,800
mandate, mandate comes out, he 
calls his detailers and say, 

1125
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:53,520
hey, you know, I can't take this
thing. 

1126
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:55,560
I'm not gonna do it. 
Can I go ahead and put a 

1127
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:58,680
religious accommodation in now 
before I show up, you know, and 

1128
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,800
of course, like recruiters, they
do anything they can to make 

1129
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:03,960
sure they get the body, keep 
doing it, you know, hitting 

1130
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:05,960
their quotas like, oh, you'll be
good. 

1131
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:07,680
You'll be fine. 
You know, government needs you. 

1132
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,560
You know, just you can take care
of it when you get here. 

1133
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:14,240
So he shows up and he and a 
group of folks who don't want to

1134
00:57:14,240 --> 00:57:18,680
do it after the mandate are in 
their, you know basic training 

1135
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,880
at boot camp and they're they're
isolated. 

1136
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,640
They, you know they do their 
their quarantine thing. 

1137
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:27,520
They're there's tape on the 
ground like 8 foot squares. 

1138
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,440
They've got to stay in. 
They're given one hour of 

1139
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:34,440
outside daylight in the course 
of two weeks And then they're 

1140
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:37,920
repeatedly I mean this is like 
straight from Russian gulag or 

1141
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:41,240
or some crazy they they bring 
them repeatedly in front of the 

1142
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:46,120
medical professionals and their 
leadership and they're harassed.

1143
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,160
They're told you're the ones 
killing grandma. 

1144
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:52,480
They they verbally abuse them. 
It's psychological abuse. 

1145
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:58,440
And almost everybody in his boot
camp class eventually caved and 

1146
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:01,240
eventually went along with this 
and like this is too much, you 

1147
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:04,560
know and and they they took the 
shot or or they they left. 

1148
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:07,280
He said no I'm going to serve. 
I'm going to stay in. 

1149
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:11,760
So he fought. 
He kept asking for to see a 

1150
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:16,240
chaplain, not even knowing that 
the chaplain visit in the in the

1151
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:19,280
Navy is the very first thing you
do to start your religious 

1152
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,480
accommodation process. 
They wouldn't even let him start

1153
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,360
the request for an for a 
religious accommodation. 

1154
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:27,480
And they kept, you know, 
verbally abusing him. 

1155
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:33,800
So he served, his name's Owen. 
He served 39 days honorably, the

1156
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,080
United States Navy before they 
ultimately kicked him out. 

1157
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:41,320
And I tell people what he did in
standing up for his conscience. 

1158
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,360
He won his Fifth Generation 
Warfare battle. 

1159
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:48,880
We're all gonna face him. 
Owen won his and and he left. 

1160
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:53,560
That left boot camp honorably. 
And he served honorably for 39 

1161
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:55,640
days. 
And I'll tell you, he served 

1162
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,840
much more honorably than a 
significant number of our 

1163
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:02,800
Admirals and generals who have 
served almost that number in 

1164
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:06,480
years because they have 
compromised, you know, for a 

1165
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:10,360
career and Owen did not. 
And so that's, that's the level 

1166
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:13,320
of decision, that's the level of
fight we're going to have to 

1167
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:15,520
take to win back our 
constitutional rights. 

1168
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:19,640
From my own story, my wife and I
made the decision, you know, 

1169
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:21,800
when they were threatening court
martials and we were starting to

1170
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:25,400
see people kicked out and 
getting on their DD2 fourteens 

1171
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:29,240
at your exit, you know, 
paperwork from the military 

1172
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:32,400
Commission of a serious offense.
And we typically reserve that 

1173
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:38,240
for assaults and you know, armed
robberies and things like that. 

1174
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:42,800
It's very serious offences and 
and you put the threat of court 

1175
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,440
martial together with that, it 
it can come with jail time. 

1176
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,880
And so we made the decision 
that, you know, when they were 

1177
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:52,960
threatening court martials, that
I'm gonna go to jail before I go

1178
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:57,040
and violate my conscience and go
get this biological agent 

1179
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:00,400
injected into my body. 
And so we even built a plan, 

1180
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:01,760
like I, you know, called my 
parents. 

1181
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,080
Hey, we're gonna, you know, 
we'll send my wife and my kids, 

1182
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:05,320
they're gonna come down, live 
with you. 

1183
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:08,320
I'll serve my time in prison and
then I'll get out and, you know,

1184
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:10,040
swing hammers and dig ditches or
whatever. 

1185
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:12,800
Like, that's the level of 
decision that we made together 

1186
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:14,160
as a couple. 
And it wasn't a hard one. 

1187
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:17,320
It was a 5 minute conversation. 
Like, OK, how far are we willing

1188
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:19,240
to go for what we believe in? 
You know, you mentioned the 

1189
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:22,240
martyrs earlier and you, you 
mentioned, you know, mass and 

1190
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:26,160
the catacombs. 
If we don't get back to that 

1191
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:32,280
level of uncompromising. 
Faith and met with action, then 

1192
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:34,040
you know the country's gonna 
fail. 

1193
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:36,920
But more importantly, the 
individual and their fight for 

1194
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:40,320
their eternal soul. 
That is what's most at risk, and

1195
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:42,400
that's what everybody should be 
most concerned about. 

1196
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:44,320
You've mentioned it. 
Twice now. 

1197
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:45,640
So I'm gonna, I'm gonna hone in 
on it. 

1198
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:50,440
The critical importance of a 
united household, of a spouse 

1199
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:53,120
that's willing to push as hard 
or harder than you will. 

1200
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:54,840
I had the same experience with 
my wife. 

1201
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,400
I came to her at one point. 
I was like I might did I miss 

1202
01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:59,080
the thread, 'cause you always 
got to ask yourself unless 

1203
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,320
you're a sociopath, right? 
Am I just completely missing 

1204
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,760
what's going on here? 
If I'm. 

1205
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:05,880
I'm the odd man out. 
Is it me? 

1206
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:07,720
Am I the problem or is really 
it. 

1207
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:09,640
Am I really the one guy standing
against the many saying that 

1208
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:11,280
everybody else is yes you are 
all wrong. 

1209
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:13,480
And and I came to my wife and I 
said, should I just get the 

1210
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:14,440
shot? 
Is that the right answer? 

1211
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,400
Do we just get it and just suck 
it up and and then retired and 

1212
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,600
she was like absolutely not. 
Like under no circumstances 

1213
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:22,000
you'll figure it out. 
Like you said swing a hammer dig

1214
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:23,600
ditches. 
I actually preferred that to a 

1215
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:24,840
lot of the work that I've done 
in my life. 

1216
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,120
I find that very meaningful to 
use my hands. 

1217
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:28,880
So that was kind of a it's like 
OK. 

1218
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,480
But the critical piece was is 
you got to have that brain trust

1219
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:36,440
that backstop of a spouse or 
close friends or whatever it is 

1220
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:40,640
in people's lives. 
Will you talk about maybe what 

1221
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,520
set your marriage up for this 
sort of test? 

1222
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:44,040
Cause for a lot of people to 
test for you? 

1223
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,080
A 5 minute conversation that was
about the same with mine. 

1224
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:47,920
It's like, no. 
And it's like oh OK good. 

1225
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:49,200
We're on the same page then. 
Good. 

1226
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:52,800
How do you, how did you set your
marriage up for that success? 

1227
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:55,240
Obviously you didn't know what 
was coming for you, but it was. 

1228
01:01:56,680 --> 01:02:00,200
We were aligned spiritually from
early on. 

1229
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:03,720
Now you know in our marriage I'm
I'm probably the weaker 1, 

1230
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:08,000
frankly. 
She's she is deep strength and 

1231
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:12,800
maybe a lot more aggression too 
when when she has a feeling 

1232
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:16,880
about what's right and wrong you
know she she will go on offense.

1233
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:22,680
So a lot of a lot of what I am 
have done in projecting is it's 

1234
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:24,080
really from it's really from 
her. 

1235
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,720
So I think the set up is that 
you you got to be aligned 

1236
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:32,320
spiritually with your with your 
goals and for your family and 

1237
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:35,320
spiritual life. 
But if you're not, if you're not

1238
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:38,880
communicating and you're not 
aligned on on the the important 

1239
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,520
things, then it's gonna be much 
harder. 

1240
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:45,520
Not impossible. 
I do know one Air Force 06 who 

1241
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:49,120
made it through he was part of 
our kind of inner circle 

1242
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:51,320
fighting back at the strategic 
level in the military. 

1243
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:54,200
And there I mean there's a group
of us you'll see a lot of those 

1244
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,920
names on you know signatures on 
the declaration of military 

1245
01:02:56,920 --> 01:03:00,280
accountability. 
But in the case of this one Air 

1246
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:03,560
Force officer, his wife was 
completely opposed to his 

1247
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:07,960
stance. 
And to see this the the the 

1248
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:11,880
drain on him trying to lead, 
trying to make a decision for 

1249
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,800
himself and then not having the 
support at home, it can be 

1250
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:17,360
devastating. 
You know their marriage has 

1251
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:22,240
survived that, so it's not 
impossible, but that's A2 front 

1252
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:23,400
war. 
That's a lot harder. 

1253
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:24,960
I could. 
I can't. 

1254
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:27,360
Imagine I've told, I've told him
before like I I just can't 

1255
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,240
imagine having fought that 
without, you know, my wife 

1256
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:33,040
sitting there using me as the 
body, you know, the body shield 

1257
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:35,200
to to push me into the fight. 
I'm I'm just kidding. 

1258
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:36,400
That's our job though, that. 
I mean that. 

1259
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:37,800
Is our role. 
So I've talked to Mark out you 

1260
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:40,600
may you know probably know who 
he is and I have met him. 

1261
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:42,360
Yeah, I handed. 
Him a copy of the book and I'm 

1262
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:44,480
so honored to meet him. 
He's he's a really good guy. 

1263
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:46,480
And one of the things he talks 
about is sort of the role of 

1264
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:50,000
men, which I think has been lost
with the sort of weak culture 

1265
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:51,520
that we have 'cause we keep 
pushing weakness. 

1266
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:55,560
But he says men's job are 
leader, protector and provider. 

1267
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:57,240
And I think that breaks down 
something. 

1268
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:58,960
I mean, we all have different 
words for the same sort of 

1269
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:00,720
thing. 
But yeah, your job, if you're 

1270
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:02,760
going to be the protector, that 
means you are the human shield. 

1271
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:04,400
And your wife is supposed to 
push you out there and be like, 

1272
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:07,240
hey, go solve this problem. 
The world is coming for us. 

1273
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,040
Get to the front of The Cave. 
It is your job to make sure that

1274
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:13,400
the ones behind you, they don't 
see what happens out there. 

1275
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:15,720
That's that's where men are 
supposed to go into the fight. 

1276
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:17,600
That's why we signed up for the 
military, I think. 

1277
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:20,680
Yeah, I love that analogy. 
That's that is great. 

1278
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:22,400
I I might have to steal that. 
Take it. 

1279
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:23,320
It's yours. 
I'll so. 

1280
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:24,400
I'll tell you this is real 
simple. 

1281
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,120
When I was deciding to enlist at
27 is later than most you 

1282
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:28,720
commissioned it probably what, 
22 years old? 

1283
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:30,520
Something like that, Yeah. 
Right around there. 

1284
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:31,880
So I. 
Got five more years of being. 

1285
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:34,360
Dumb, retarded. 
As my chat likes me to say, 

1286
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:36,400
'cause I grew up in the 80s and 
and you know, you just say these

1287
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,040
kind of things, It's like, yeah,
I was foolish. 

1288
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:39,800
And I started reflecting on my 
life. 

1289
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:42,320
It's like, what would my role be
in society 10,000 years ago? 

1290
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:44,960
Where would I be? 
And my job would be hunting 

1291
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:46,840
Buffalo and laying out in the 
grass for three days to be able 

1292
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:49,200
to bring down food or standing 
out there in front of an, you 

1293
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:51,360
know, an enemy tribe and making 
sure they don't come from my 

1294
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:54,040
people in the village. 
So when I put myself in sort of 

1295
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,320
a very simple world, that was my
thought. 

1296
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:58,560
And it's the same role when you 
become a father because now you 

1297
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:00,080
got a little tribe, you got a 
big tribe. 

1298
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:02,360
Actually, you got a pretty good 
sized tribe back there. 

1299
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:03,840
It's. 
It's your. 

1300
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:05,800
Job to be at. 
The mouth of The Cave to make 

1301
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,840
sure that the little ones behind
you and and show your sons what 

1302
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:10,720
it looks like. 
And soon they stand shoulder to 

1303
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:12,880
shoulder and now you got even a 
bigger front, right? 

1304
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:16,320
But if we're not doing that, are
we even doing our job as men? 

1305
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:18,640
And so I I love that Mark Halke 
always puts that out there, 

1306
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:22,280
'cause if that's how you go 
after the DoD, that's how you go

1307
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:25,760
after the DOJ and stand in the 
way and say no, you know you're 

1308
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:28,160
you're Gandalf on the, on the, 
on the bridge, you know, hitting

1309
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:29,560
the staff. 
You shall not pass. 

1310
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:32,680
This is where I stand. 
I may go down into the gap, too.

1311
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:34,440
That's the other piece. 
A lot of us, you know, get are 

1312
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:35,720
going to get dragged for a 
while. 

1313
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:38,640
But I appreciate that it talks 
about this. 

1314
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:40,960
So we we have this little badge.
You've probably seen this. 

1315
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:41,880
We're going to get you one of 
them. 

1316
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:43,000
If it's all right with you, I'll
send it to you. 

1317
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,400
You can wear it or not, but you 
can have it for sure. 

1318
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:47,480
It's, it's a sign of white 
martyrdom. 

1319
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:49,240
Is is really what we're talking 
about here. 

1320
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:52,360
And you want to kind of discuss 
the concept of the white martyrs

1321
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:53,800
and the red martyrs. 
Are you familiar with that? 

1322
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:56,360
Sort of that framing of the 
world, 'cause I think a lot of 

1323
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:58,200
people, every time I say it, 
they go like, man, I never heard

1324
01:05:58,200 --> 01:05:59,720
it. 
It's like, well, a lot of people

1325
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:01,240
know, let's talk about white 
martyrdom. 

1326
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:04,560
Yeah, so. 
You certainly can speak to it 

1327
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,360
better than I can, but it's a, 
you know, St. 

1328
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:07,840
Maximil and Colby kind of thing,
right? 

1329
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:12,680
You, you, the white martyrdom 
where you're not gonna 

1330
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:16,200
necessarily be killed. 
You know you're not shedding 

1331
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:20,080
your blood for your faith, but 
you're gonna endure significant 

1332
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:24,680
harassment, struggle. 
People are are going to come for

1333
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:27,360
you, make this hard. 
You know, you've mentioned Mark 

1334
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,320
Hauck. 
He talks about, you know, he 

1335
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:32,760
realized in the course of, you 
know, him getting shackled and 

1336
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:36,160
and dragged around and 
humiliated, you know, for 

1337
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:40,880
protecting his son because he 
was of the wrong persuasion on a

1338
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:45,760
on a political issue because he 
stood for life that it was the 

1339
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:50,360
the process was the punishment. 
That's that's what he described 

1340
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:53,480
in in the talk I heard with him 
when when when I had the honor 

1341
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:56,000
of meeting him. 
You know that that's the white 

1342
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,560
martyrdom. 
Now, are are we also going to 

1343
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:00,960
like St. 
Maximi and Kolbly get the get 

1344
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:02,520
the red, the crown of red 
martyrdom? 

1345
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:04,720
I don't know. 
Now that's that's left to be 

1346
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:08,440
seen. 
But if we don't take that stand 

1347
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:10,200
you're talking about I I love 
the analogy. 

1348
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:13,120
If we don't get to the front of 
The Cave, the enemy's gonna get 

1349
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:16,000
in The Cave and the chances are 
much greater. 

1350
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:20,040
So we've got to take that stand.
We've got to endure whatever the

1351
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:25,080
white martyrdom is for now and 
be willing to make it red if if 

1352
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:28,280
we're going to have any chance 
of of keeping this country, what

1353
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,800
it was passed down to us, as I 
want to be respectful of your. 

1354
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:33,680
Time and give you time because I
know you got another meeting 

1355
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:35,400
coming up here. 
Let's talk about just the last 

1356
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:39,160
thing, the cost, because there 
is a cost professionally, 

1357
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:43,080
personally, you know, there's a 
spiritual cost, 'cause it's just

1358
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:44,640
a heavyweight to carry. 
But can you talk about some of 

1359
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:46,680
those things a little bit? 
And then we'll we'll plug the 

1360
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:48,480
the book and we'll show people 
where they can get all that kind

1361
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:50,400
of stuff. 
But it's the cost is not 

1362
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:52,640
nothing. 
It's not nothing. 

1363
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:57,360
But it's insignificant in terms 
of of eternal rewards. 

1364
01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:59,960
I mean, you've probably heard of
Pascal's Wager, right? 

1365
01:07:59,960 --> 01:08:05,520
You, you, you make a a temporal 
wager of of some of your time in

1366
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:07,880
order to potentially get an 
eternal reward. 

1367
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:11,960
Any cost we pay in that 
environment is is minuscule. 

1368
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:14,360
But I will say for me 
personally, I mean I I had a 

1369
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:15,960
command opportunity taken for 
me. 

1370
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:20,200
I had a year long in residence 
or college opportunity. 

1371
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:21,880
I was going to get another 
master's degree. 

1372
01:08:22,319 --> 01:08:26,080
I was already slated for it. 
That got taken my exile of seven

1373
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,560
months. 
You know I told only to call in.

1374
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:31,399
That was my only duty. 
I did that for three weeks. 

1375
01:08:31,399 --> 01:08:34,960
I stopped taking the call. 
You know, it could be it's 

1376
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:37,080
pretty isolating. 
It's meant to be some form of 

1377
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:40,600
psychological warfare. 
But all of that is minimal 

1378
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:42,240
compared to what other people 
went through. 

1379
01:08:42,359 --> 01:08:44,279
There were there were court. 
There was at least one court 

1380
01:08:44,279 --> 01:08:48,000
martial just learned about 
another one with the senior 

1381
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:53,200
recruit Castle or sorry senior 
airman Castle people went 

1382
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:57,560
through devastating things and 
one Navy SEAL stood up for his 

1383
01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:00,840
own rights and he he refused to 
take the shot. 

1384
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:04,399
He got isolated with with other 
seals they were given menial 

1385
01:09:04,399 --> 01:09:06,800
labor doing yard work stuff like
that. 

1386
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:09,600
They weren't allowed they had 
their badge access to their 

1387
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:13,600
their unit building taken away. 
They had to get escorted when 

1388
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:16,760
they were told to come in to do,
you know urinalysis drug test 

1389
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:20,680
like like a foreign like a 
foreign, you know, visitor or 

1390
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:24,359
something like it's it's insane 
that one of those Navy Seals, 

1391
01:09:24,359 --> 01:09:32,160
his first name is Danny, he he 
was found as a suicide, you know

1392
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:35,600
early in September after the 
mandate. 

1393
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:39,880
And you know, I was told by one 
of his his teammates, one of the

1394
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:43,120
other Navy Seals shortly after 
that, that the very last thing 

1395
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:47,279
that Danny did and for the last 
service he performed for his 

1396
01:09:47,279 --> 01:09:49,120
country was yard work outside 
the building. 

1397
01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:51,080
He was no longer allowed to 
enter like. 

1398
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:56,480
So the cost is significant and 
our leaders need to start by 

1399
01:09:56,480 --> 01:09:59,480
acknowledging it and studying 
this and making sure that they 

1400
01:09:59,480 --> 01:10:02,440
put in place things that that 
ensure this never happens again.

1401
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:06,320
So for everything that you know,
you, your your listeners, your 

1402
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:09,720
your viewers have endured in 
this fight or whether they went 

1403
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:14,320
along with this like this is the
opportunity for us to join and 

1404
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:17,000
stand up for individual rights. 
Because if we don't, we're gonna

1405
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:20,320
lose it. 
So the the cost is is tiny, but 

1406
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:22,920
the reward here is potentially 
infinite. 

1407
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:26,640
Very well said. 
And I wanted to pivot that to 

1408
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,880
your military accountability. 
This is the document folks. 

1409
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:31,360
Do you want to kind of talk 
people through that, Rob? 

1410
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:33,920
Just kind of let them know what 
the structure was, why you guys 

1411
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:35,600
did it Folks, you can go to the 
website, it's actually in the 

1412
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:36,720
show now. 
It's very easy to find, but I 

1413
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:40,360
want you to get a visual of it. 
It's not a graphic website. 

1414
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:47,680
It is a, it is a text based 
message first type website. 

1415
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:49,720
It's almost all text and it's, 
it's dense. 

1416
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:52,680
It looks like, you know, kind of
like some famous documents 

1417
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:55,320
people may have seen in history.
Yeah, sorry guys. 

1418
01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:57,080
You're going to have to. 
Do a little reading if you if 

1419
01:10:57,080 --> 01:11:00,560
you really want to get into it. 
But so the book had come out 

1420
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:04,600
July 4th, 2023. 
And I thought for sure, like 

1421
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:06,560
every time I've written 
something, I started writing in 

1422
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:12,000
October of 2021 written Mutiny 
complaints against Admirals and 

1423
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:16,640
and you know, filing, you know, 
anything I could do like, you 

1424
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:20,560
know, firing off emails and I 
mean just I've, I've fought with

1425
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:24,120
the pen as best I could and so 
kept escalating and ultimately 

1426
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:27,440
it ended up being in the book 
and I realized that they're 

1427
01:11:27,440 --> 01:11:29,280
ignoring the book. 
They're gonna continue to ignore

1428
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:30,400
us. 
They sidelined us, 'cause they 

1429
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:33,200
don't wanna deal with the 
underlying issues. 

1430
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:35,480
They wanna they don't wanna have
a discussion on the merits. 

1431
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:39,840
So I realized that they were 
gonna, even though I called out 

1432
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:43,400
names in the book as an act of 
duty 05, calling out my Admirals

1433
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:45,960
like it's it's crazy they would 
ignore this. 

1434
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:49,400
So I ultimately said hey we 
gotta go on the offensive. 

1435
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:51,880
And so this is me. 
I spent a couple of weeks like 

1436
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:55,480
right in the first draft of that
kind of honing it. 

1437
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:57,960
I want to make sure that we 
talked earlier about it, you 

1438
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:01,760
know, injecting some personal 
risk trying to ensure we have 

1439
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:05,240
accountability. 
And then ultimately you know we 

1440
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:08,840
we got some other folks kind of 
our strategic thinkers together.

1441
01:12:09,480 --> 01:12:13,200
They helped hone the words. 
We got it down to one page and 

1442
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:16,520
then went public with it. 
Brad Miller, he, he was the one 

1443
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:19,600
who, you know, we we said, hey, 
it's probably best coming from 

1444
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:23,440
him, 'cause he's not active duty
and we sent it to the the active

1445
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:25,160
members of the Joint Chiefs of 
Staff. 

1446
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:29,920
So probably not best coming from
me, but so Brad, Brad sent that 

1447
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:33,680
off and you know he got 4 
something million views shortly 

1448
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:36,240
after. 
So it resonated with folks. 

1449
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:38,120
So go check it out, the 
Declaration of Military 

1450
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:39,760
accountability. 
And it's it's us going on 

1451
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:43,040
offensive as best we can because
you know, going to the American 

1452
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:45,240
people because they're ignoring 
us, they don't want to hear what

1453
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:47,240
we have to say. 
I like hearing your little one 

1454
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:48,600
in the. 
Background that's simulating a 

1455
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:50,440
raid on your house by the 
Sergeants at Arms. 

1456
01:12:50,440 --> 01:12:51,960
No, that's. 
This is what my house sounds 

1457
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,760
like all the time too, and and 
there's something kind of 

1458
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:56,840
comforting about knowing that 
there's little people running 

1459
01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:59,280
around. 
That's what this is about, I 

1460
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,480
assume, right? 
It's about the next generation, 

1461
01:13:01,480 --> 01:13:03,920
'cause I think ours is probably 
not going to be able to save it 

1462
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,280
in entirety. 
But maybe throwing ourself into 

1463
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:08,920
the breach is what lets your 
little ones who are out there, 

1464
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:11,240
you know, banging on the door 
trying to get in and see what 

1465
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:13,680
Dad's up to. 
Maybe they get a little better 

1466
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:15,960
slice, because it doesn't seem 
like we've kind of lost some of 

1467
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:18,640
the major principles in this 
country over the last 20 or 30 

1468
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:22,320
years we we have. 
It's we've gone from being, you 

1469
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:26,400
know, centered on on principles 
to centered on selfishness, and 

1470
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:29,600
then, you know, now ultimately 
flat out untruths. 

1471
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:34,400
And we're expected to, you know,
vocally support people's, you 

1472
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:36,240
know, fantasies of things that 
aren't true. 

1473
01:13:37,480 --> 01:13:40,760
And so, yeah, we've got to get 
back to the true principles if 

1474
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:42,840
we're going to have any hope. 
And it'll like we said earlier 

1475
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:45,640
in the show, it took us a long 
time to get here. 

1476
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:48,560
It's been a long, slow drag. 
It's accelerated certainly in 

1477
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:52,640
the last, you know, 5-10 years. 
So but it it, it won't be a 

1478
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,360
massive swing back really quick,
I don't think, I think it's 

1479
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:58,720
going to take us a long time. 
It'll be our kids, you know, and

1480
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:01,160
our grandkids, I think, are 
going to have to re establish 

1481
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:05,080
our country with proper 
principles. 

1482
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:11,040
Your Twitter says Rob Green 
1010. 

1483
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:12,560
What's the 1010? 
Is that a thing? 

1484
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:16,800
Yeah, my 10/10 was my. 
Favorite number Playing baseball

1485
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:20,840
in high school, but ten was 
taken. 

1486
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:25,280
Rob Green, 10, was taken. 
And so Brad Miller has Brad 

1487
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:27,520
Miller 1010. 
He does that because it's 

1488
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:28,800
birthday. 
But I was like, I'm going to 

1489
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:30,880
emulate him because I look up to
him and he's a great guy. 

1490
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:32,960
So that's why Rob Green 1010, I 
love it. 

1491
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:34,240
All right, I'm going to throw it
on the screen, right? 

1492
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:35,600
Here folks, this. 
So you're looking at the right 

1493
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:36,640
one. 
It's got a picture of the book 

1494
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:38,960
in the the icon. 
If you're watching us on Rumble 

1495
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:41,520
or if you're seeing us over on 
Twitter, you guys can follow Rob

1496
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:46,480
at Rob Green 1010 and that is 
the bio pace you'll see there. 

1497
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:49,360
I love the the where, where's 
that image of the cross? 

1498
01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:50,400
What is it? 
What is that, a Chapel 

1499
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:52,480
somewhere? 
Yeah, that's the portrait Cola. 

1500
01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:55,400
In Franciscan University right 
there. 

1501
01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:57,320
So it's really neat. 
A lot of time praying there. 

1502
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:00,520
I I went to a. 
Cistercian school when I was in 

1503
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:03,400
5th and 6th grade, and they had 
this incredible stone Chapel 

1504
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:05,800
that they had somehow built out 
of like this enormous pieces of 

1505
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:08,160
limestone. 
And then they did glass block 

1506
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:11,200
and then a cedar roof. 
And it looked like the roof was 

1507
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:12,760
levitating above you as you sat 
in there. 

1508
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:15,000
But it was so simple. 
It was just a rectangle, you 

1509
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:16,360
know? 
And they would do Gregorian 

1510
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:17,640
chant there. 
And that kind of gives me that 

1511
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:22,800
vibe, that kind of like a place 
of of actual sacred, which a a 

1512
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:24,720
lot of these churches now, they 
look more like they were built 

1513
01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:26,120
in the 70s. 
They don't have that spirit to 

1514
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:27,320
them. 
Yeah. 

1515
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:30,240
Well, well, that, that one. 
'S modeled after the one that 

1516
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:34,280
Saint Francis built by hand. 
And so it's it's meant to be a 

1517
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:36,280
replica of that. 
So it's very small. 

1518
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:40,360
It's it's, you know, the stones,
you know, look like they're 

1519
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:42,840
dragged over and and 
constructed. 

1520
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:45,560
So I will say, if you go find me
on social media, be patient with

1521
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:46,680
me. 
I'm brand new to it. 

1522
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:50,080
I swore I would never get on 
social media, but I've been 

1523
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:52,800
encouraged to and and so we'll 
learn together. 

1524
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:56,640
I guess there are all those who 
follow me it it is a necessary. 

1525
01:15:57,360 --> 01:15:59,640
Sacrifice. 
I go on there all the time now 

1526
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:00,840
and I spend a lot of time doing 
it. 

1527
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:03,240
But I I had a, a supervisor. 
He was like, he used to make fun

1528
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:04,800
of people on social media. 
I was like, yeah, I still do. 

1529
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:06,160
I still make fun of it. 
It's a cesspool. 

1530
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:07,960
So I told people in the show 
notes that they want to follow 

1531
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:09,760
you on the cesspool of Twitter. 
They can do so. 

1532
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:11,880
And I put the link in there. 
I think you'll probably 

1533
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:13,400
appreciate that. 
There's nothing good about it. 

1534
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:17,080
Rob, thanks so much for for 
joining me today and sharing 

1535
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:19,280
your your sort of experience. 
But also I want to encourage 

1536
01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:21,880
people to go and follow that 
book and and I want to wish you 

1537
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:25,040
really good luck. 
Because man, if if somebody's 

1538
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:28,280
not standing up there in all 
these different forums, this is,

1539
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:30,240
this is the fight. 
It turns out for our generation.

1540
01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:32,960
Who knew after 20 years of war, 
this is actually the fight at 

1541
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:35,600
the home front, huh? 
Yeah, it's a domestic enemy. 

1542
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:38,400
We've got to combat, and I just 
want to thank you, thank you for

1543
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:41,400
using this platform to to fight 
for individual liberty, to fight

1544
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:44,280
for those principles and values.
I mean, this is fantastic. 

1545
01:16:44,360 --> 01:16:46,840
I'm so honored to to have an 
opportunity to talk with you. 

1546

1548
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:52,120

Then if nothing else, you can 

1549
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:54,000
give it to your wife and she can
wear it around 'cause it sounds 

1550
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:56,680
like she she also earned one. 
Thanks for joining me today,

1554
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:06,120
I want to go ahead and say 
thanks to our affiliates that 

1555

01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:21,120
He used to teach at the high 
school that I went to in Dallas 

1559
01:17:21,440 --> 01:17:23,600
and he said that I am proof that
something good can come from the

1560
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:24,560
high school. 
There's a lot of good things 

1561
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:25,720
that came out of there but kind 
of fun. 

1562

I'm I don't know if you guys do 
the same thing. 

1565
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:36,240
I always eat the things that I 
don't like first or I don't like

1566
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:39,480
as much. 
I'm saving the The Gourmet Flank

1567

I'm saving the Gourmet Flank 

1568

Check them out and you'll get a 
high quality snack that's got a 

1570
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:49,560
lot of protein in it. 
It's easy to carry around with 

1571
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:51,120
you. 
It lasts for a good while, but 

1572
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:52,760
it is an edible thing. 
It's not something you say 

1573
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:54,440
forever Like some of our other 
sponsors. 

1574

promo code, Kyle will save you

And then the same story over 

1576
01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:01,680
there at Mike Lindell's. 
They've got some kind of a 

1577
01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:03,440
conference call coming up 
thanking all the folks that are 

1578
01:18:03,440 --> 01:18:06,600
promoting their website 
itsmypillow.com. 

1579
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:09,040
That will not be surprising to 
you, always fighting for the 

1580
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:14,160
conservative causes. 
But mypillow.com/kyle and you 

1581

save up to 50% on towels and on

01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:20,760

buddy Alpha loves to wear. 

1583
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,120
I don't know what the story is. 
I don't know how slippers go 

1584
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:25,680
with people who make towels and 
pillows. 

1585
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:28,200
But it is a thing and they do it
and they do it in Minnesota. 

1586
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:31,800
Check them out mypillow.com/kyle

1587
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:33,960
show, if you are in the market 
for such things. 

1588
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:37,680
And then last but not least, one
of you in the chat and I and the

1589
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:39,960
name slipped my my my mind. 
So I'm sorry about that. 

1590
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:42,080
I don't know who said it but 
they said man that is a really 

1591
01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:43,920
cool shirt that is in the 
thumbnail. 

1592
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:47,080
That is from the 
suspendables.com. 

1593
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:49,880
It is the merch store for the 
suspendable crew. 

1594
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:52,480
You can buy your own version of 
the of the pin. 

1595
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:54,840
It is the white one. 
The black ones are only handed 

1596
01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:55,960
out. 
These ones are for sale. 

1597
01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:58,360
You guys can get three of them 
for 30 bucks if you want to hit 

1598
01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:00,880
up the O'boyle family sweatshop.
There's less sweating when it 

1599
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:03,480
comes to just shipping those out
and you'll see there is the 

1600
01:19:03,480 --> 01:19:06,920
rifle right on the screen with 
me, the rifle and the quill, 

1601
01:19:07,440 --> 01:19:10,720
just like Rob was talking about 
at the Pen is my ear in the 

1602
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:12,600
sword. 
For now, whenever we can use it,

01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:13,720

thing.

versions which are like that 
that that kind of cool, very 

1609
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:29,880

1623
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:04,760
I just keep it simple. 
I don't know. 

1624
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:06,560
It's my name. 
It's very easy to do. 

1625
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:08,760
Y'all. 
Let's do this real quick too. 

1626
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:12,760
Last thing, there's a couple of 
cool pictures of Commander Rob 

1627
01:20:12,760 --> 01:20:14,160
Green. 
We'll do it while he's off the 

1628
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:15,320
screen. 
So he is not liable for 

1629
01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:16,600
anything. 
These are public domain photos, 

1630
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:19,920
but there he is, swearing in and
carrying one of his kiddos with 

1631
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:22,200
a Catholic priest. 
The man who's living by it. 

1632
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:24,200
I'm also encourage you guys to 
check out today's Loop because 

1633
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:26,960
it does have that. 
This is the article that I wrote

1634
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:29,440
and you'll find out that the 
first sentence talks about 

1635
01:20:29,440 --> 01:20:32,000
betrayal, which we just 
discussed. 

1636
01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:35,560
Me and Rob organically coming to
the same problem, Betrayal 

1637
01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:38,280
within these agencies. 
Totally worth your time to check

1638
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:40,080
those things out.
