Tech Friday with Dave Hatter Danny. Do 14 00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:05.159 we get a list of topics from Dave. Now we're 15 00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.920 gonna have to try to find those. I appreciate that. 16 00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.840 I'll see if they're in my email normally it's already there. 17 00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:12.439 Go ahead. 18 00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:14.719 Joe Strecker's on vacation still. Actually I got a picture 19 00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:17.760 from the beach. He sent me a picture from the beach. 20 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:21.120 He said he was wondering if he's down in Florida. 21 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.319 I can't remember which city in florida's in, but he was, 22 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.079 He's wondering if iHeartMedia is hiring there in Florida locally. 23 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.280 He does not want to come back, so I don't 24 00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:32.760 know if I'm going to take him seriously on that. 25 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:34.680 I guess we'll find out on Tuesday if he shows 26 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:36.920 up back to work again, Danny. Otherwise you might be 27 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:41.359 stuck in that room anyway. Uh Tech Friday Dave Patter 28 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.200 six point thirty, followed by Greg Phillips at seven oh five, 29 00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:49.079 creator ground Fusion AI drive as a trailblazer in political 30 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.560 technology for the last forty years. How artificial intelligence provides 31 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:56.959 voter data and campaign strategies, And I'm sure it does. 32 00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.239 It's one of the things that the Americans for Prosperity does. 33 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.760 They find out where those folks are that are, you know, 34 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.959 maybe not registered or independent of mind. It's really easy 35 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:08.400 to figure that kind of thing out. So target marketing 36 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.240 is really kind of what it's all about. You don't 37 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.800 have to, you know, sprinkle thousands and thousands and thousands 38 00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.560 of messages across the broad plane when you know exactly 39 00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.599 who you're trying to target, narrow it down and see 40 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:22.479 if you can't be more effective. We'll get the details 41 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:24.919 on that from Greg Phillips seven o five, Fast forward 42 00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:27.439 an hour to eight oh five. Douglas earnt the book 43 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:32.159 Spirit of a True Patriot, fallow by eight thirty with 44 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:36.479 Fred Galvin's book A Few Bad Men. So there's your 45 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.960 rundown for today, and of course Christopher Smithman and Money 46 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.360 Monday on Monday, let us see also reminder of fifty 47 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:47.520 five Caresee dot com.

Lots 50 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.199 of good stuff over there fifty five care Sea dot com. 51 00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:57.919 You try her media app though, so you can listen 52 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.120 to the program, listen to the podcasts and I'll all 53 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.680 the iHeart content wherever you happened to be at any time. 54 00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:03.680 There you go. 55 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.759 So what's going on in the wide wide world of 56 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.000 sports this morning? That's just may as well get into 57 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:14.240 Hunter Biden interesting surprise guilty please. Some are suggesting maybe 58 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.240 he has gone ahead and pled guilty to avoid the 59 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.360 salacious details that would have most notably come out in court. 60 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:26.199 It didn't go real well for him with his gun trial. 61 00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:28.199 If you recall that when he was found guilty of 62 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:32.680 wying when he filled out his FFL form under the 63 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:35.800 influence of drugs at the time. He purchased the firearms 64 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.120 sentencing on that one. I believes in November. So he 65 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:43.120 played guilty to federal tax charges yesterday, which ended the trial. 66 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:48.159 Jury selection was set to begin, and they pulled the 67 00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:55.159 plug on it. Now, it's interesting there was a certain 68 00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:00.319 type of plea deal that they tried to get. They're 69 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.199 not a plea deal, rather a guilty plea where you 70 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:08.120 plead guilty, but you say you're innocent, describe as unusual, 71 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:13.759 maintain innocence while conceding that the evidence is sufficient for 72 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:19.759 a jury verdict. It's called an Alford deal. And that's 73 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:23.279 from a case from nineteen seventy North Carolina versus Alford, 74 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:26.959 which said, while most pleas of guilty consist of both 75 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:31.800 a waiver of a trial and an express admission of guilt, 76 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:38.439 the express admission of guilt is not a constitutional requisite 77 00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:42.000 to impose a criminal penalty. That's the ruling from this 78 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.879 Alford case. The accused may consent to the imposition of 79 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.600 a prison sentence even if he's unwilling or unable to 80 00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:54.800 admit to his participation in the acts constituting the crime. Now, 81 00:04:56.040 --> 00:05:01.720 the FEDS don't like this necessarily, and according to the 82 00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:04.920 Justice Department's Policy Manual for tax cases, and that's what 83 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.399 this is, the US Attorney's Office may not consent to 84 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:13.279 a so called Alfred plea except in the most unusual circumstances, 85 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:16.800 and only after the Assistant Attorney General, Tax Division or 86 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:21.279 a higher department official has approved a written request for 87 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:24.160 this type of deal. So when they try to propose 88 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:29.680 this Alfred deal, prosecutors said, no, no, Now, we're not 89 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.600 going to support any plea deal without an express admission 90 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:36.240 of guilt. Quote, Hunter Biden is not innocent, Hunter Biden 91 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.920 is guilty. That's a quote from the prosecutor Leo Wi 92 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:45.160 speaking with the judge Mark Scarci. So fast forward a 93 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.519 little bit later in the day, Biden's lawyer came back 94 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.920 from a break and told the judge his client would 95 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.879 abandon that Alfred plea deal go ahead and plead guilty 96 00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:57.839 without any negotiated deal with prosecutors working under Special Counselor 97 00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:00.800 David Wis. So, you know, my initial reaction was out 98 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.160 they negotiated a plea deal behind the scenes. He's going 99 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.279 to avoid jail time. Et cetera, et cetera. Well, they're 100 00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:09.759 saying now that there was no negotiated plea deal. Biden's leader, 101 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:14.319 Abe Lowell, his lawyer, and court said, let's move on. 102 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:18.959 It's been a difficult time for the Biden family, and 103 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:23.680 further strain would come from this trial because Biden family 104 00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.040 members would be witnesses and we all know about the 105 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:29.639 salacious details of a hunter Biden's life and dragon family 106 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:33.639 members and probably not really great optics, especially since we're 107 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.279 moments away from the November presidential election, while Joe Biden 108 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:39.879 isn't part of it anymore. Of course, a lot of 109 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:41.920 this would rub off on Kamala Harris, at least to 110 00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:48.000 a certain degree. The judge told Biden the charges he 111 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.279 was honest with him. Hey, hey, buddy, the charges come 112 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:52.759 of the maximum sentence of seventeen years in prison and 113 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:56.600 a maximum finded more than a million dollars, and then 114 00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:04.800 scheduled sentencing for December sixteenth, which is a little over 115 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:09.920 a month before Biden's hunter. Biden's dad, You remember Joe Biden, 116 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:11.360 don't you. He hasn't been around for a while. You 117 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.519 can find him on the beach. That's when he leaves office, 118 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:18.199 so that again people are suggesting, well, that'll give Joe 119 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:22.600 Biden time to change his mind and while pardon Hunter 120 00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:30.839 Biden for his crimes. President previously well, Hunter Biden previously 121 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.519 pleaded guilty not guilty in January the charges that he 122 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:35.839 failed to pay at least one point four million in 123 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:38.319 taxes yore. That's what this trial was all about for 124 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:40.920 the years twenty sixteen through twenty nineteen. Now it should 125 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:43.680 be a lot more years than that. But remember they 126 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:47.639 treated Hunter Biden with kid gloves, slow walking there at 127 00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:50.480 tax evasion and far a failure to register as a 128 00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:53.920 foreign agent investigation. They drugged their heels so long that 129 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:58.879 the statute limitations ran. So the literally millions and millions 130 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.519 of dollars that Hunter Biden and collected using his father's 131 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.160 name as a saleable commodity out in the global market 132 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:10.480 never going to see the light of justice. That was 133 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.600 obviously a favor to the Biden family thanks to our 134 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:20.079 lettered agencies. Anyway, the fallerty charges in this one involved 135 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:23.439 allegations that Hunter evaded taxes on millions of dollars in 136 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.160 income from foreign businesses. And this information again would have 137 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.199 come out and seen the light of Day prosecutors alleged 138 00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:33.200 he gave that Biden gave taxpayers are wrecked rather taxpayer 139 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:38.639 papers to his accountants in early twenty twenty that included 140 00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:42.759 hundreds of thousands of dollars in false tax deductions right 141 00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:47.639 off for escorts, exotic dancers, sex club membership, his daughter's 142 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:51.279 law school tuition, all of them labeled as business expenses, 143 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:58.840 and many of these charges well after he had regained sobriety, 144 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:01.240 which is kind of funny. They brought that up because 145 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:04.399 in his statement, Hunter Biden said, like millions of Americans, 146 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.559 I failed to file and pay my taxes on time, 147 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.039 and for that I am responsible. As I've stated, addiction 148 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:13.720 is not an excuse, but it is an explanation for 149 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:17.960 some of my failures. That issue in this case, okay. 150 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:23.720 Now was pointed out that the federal prosecutors they had 151 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:27.919 a rather aggressive trial strategy. They were going to show 152 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:31.080 how foreign interest paid Hunter Biden to influence you as 153 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:34.600 a government while Daddy was Vice president during the Obama administration. 154 00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.960 They planned to show the lucrative arrangement that he had 155 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:40.720 with the Romanian real estate magnate who was facing corruption 156 00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:44.600 investigation in his home country, along with his ties to 157 00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:51.399 the oil company CEFC China Energy, as well as all 158 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:53.480 the shenanigans going on while he was on the board 159 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:56.879 of directors of Barissma, the Ukrainian gas company, that he 160 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.799 had no knowledge about or even in in terms of, 161 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:02.679 you know, the business and what they were involved in. 162 00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:06.080 He was basically hired because he was Joe Biden's son. 163 00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:09.440 We all know that all of these details were going 164 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.720 to be just a over probably a month long period 165 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:17.799 of time. So rather than face that, and rather they 166 00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:20.879 have all these details be brought back to the public's attention, 167 00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:27.200 he pleads guilty. Wise insisted on reading the entire fifty 168 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:31.679 six page indictment into the record yesterday. Biden's lawyers objected 169 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:34.399 to that, but that was the point, was to establish 170 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.960 the facts underlying the guilty plea. In other words, Hunter 171 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:40.080 Biden is standing here before you and is pleading guilty 172 00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:42.840 to all of the charges. For those of you who 173 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:45.559 don't remember what the charges are here, let me read 174 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:52.519 the fifty six page indictment word for word. So while 175 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:54.679 they didn't have a trial on the merits on that 176 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.360 with punter blyden pleading guilty to the charges in the indictment, 177 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.960 the charges of the indictment are and therefore you don't 178 00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:03.320 have to go through a trial to bring it to 179 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:07.840 everybody's attention anymore. So out there you have it. So 180 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:15.519 over in Delaware, it's November thirteenth, is apparently when he's 181 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.840 going to be sentenced for the handgun purchase where he 182 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:21.279 claimed he was not using drug and that one he 183 00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:24.440 is facing a maximum sentence of twenty five years, but 184 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.000 it's noted that because he's a first time offender, it 185 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:30.200 probably received just a fraction of that penalty and probably 186 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:32.399 no prison time at all. Now, if you or I 187 00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.919 were to get caught file lighting lying on an FFL form, 188 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:40.440 we probably would go to jail. It's like anybody who 189 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:43.159 was even in the neighborhood of Washington, d C. On 190 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.159 January sixth, is going to be investigated by the FBI 191 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:51.120 and probably brought the trial for I don't know, efforts 192 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.879 to overthrow the United States government or something. Different treatment 193 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:57.039 for different folks depending on what your last name is 194 00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:01.120 and your connection to the high level officials. In terms 195 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.360 of the pardon thing, we all know Biden has previously 196 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:07.679 said out loud that he would not use his clemency 197 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:12.639 powers to pardon Hunter Biden for any potential sentences. Yesterday, 198 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:17.320 Green Jean Pierre wheeled out and promised and repeated that 199 00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:22.559 pledge when reporters asked her about it. She declined to 200 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.919 comment on whether Biden's decision not to seek another term 201 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:29.759 had any impact on well the legal strategy unfolding yesterday 202 00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:33.360 in the trial for Hunter Biden. But a campaign spokesperson 203 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.440 for Vice President Kamala Harris, speaking with NBC's Meet the Press, said, well, 204 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:42.159 Harris doesn't have plans to pardon Biden's son should she 205 00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:45.440 win the presidential election. Now, I don't think that's a 206 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:49.440 bold enough statement. Doesn't have plans currently much in the 207 00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:51.519 same way back in oh I don't know. Pick something 208 00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:53.879 she's flip flopped on. Back in twenty nineteen, she wanted 209 00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:58.159 to ban fracking, absolutely today she doesn't. She had plans 210 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:00.440 to ban fracking back when she was running for president 211 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.120 the United States of America. Now she's running for president 212 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:06.279 of the United States of America again without the approval of 213 00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:09.120 the Democratic Party, I might point out, and now she 214 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:13.200 doesn't have plans of banfracking. So that's an unknown variable 215 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:15.159 right there. And I still think it's more likely that 216 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:19.720 Joe Biden himself will change his mind and will pardon 217 00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:23.919 his son before he leaves office. That's my take on 218 00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:28.720 it anyway. So interesting developments will see whether justice will 219 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:32.120 actually see any light here and whether Hunter Biden will 220 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:36.120 actually be held accountable for his multitude of crimes again, 221 00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:38.960 most of which weren't even on full display in this 222 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:39.879 particular case. 223 00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:43.879 I'm Kamala Harris, and I approve this message. 224 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:46.440 Keep your stupid mouth shot. 225 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:58.240 Thank you, Jay Ratlers. By twenty three, I bout her 226 00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:12.960 talk dation hilarious on the heels of our Justice Department 227 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:17.759 cracking down on so called Russian disinformation. I still am 228 00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:21.600 laughing about that. They failed to appreciate how comical and 229 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:24.960 laughable it is. After four years of Russian Russia, Russia 230 00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:28.600 Russia and colluding with Donald Trump, all of the disproven, 231 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.919 after all the efforts and time we spent talking about it, 232 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:36.120 and then we find out that they're claiming that Russia 233 00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:38.120 is in the bag for the Trump campaign and spreading 234 00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:43.440 disinformation online, failing to register as a foreign agency andre Biden. President. 235 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:49.960 Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday came out expressing support for 236 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:55.279 Vice President Kamala Harris claiming he prefers her to be 237 00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:58.279 the next US president because he wants the Biden administration 238 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:03.879 to continue, and because, in his words, she laughs so 239 00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:11.559 expressively and infectiously. Do you think he is not trolling 240 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.519 the United States of America with that one? He's pointed 241 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:18.600 out him in his works with tongue in cheek at 242 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:25.159 the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, mocking, yes, the idea 243 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:27.840 that Russia actually has a preference in the election. I 244 00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:30.759 told you, I told you our favorite, if you can 245 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:33.679 call it, that was the current president, mister Biden. He 246 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:36.279 was removed from the race, but he recommended all his 247 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.360 supporters support Ms. Arras, so he will do the same. 248 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.240 We will support her. She laughs so expressively and effectiously 249 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:50.799 that it means that everything is fine with her. He 250 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:53.519 said he preferred not to see Donald Trump return to 251 00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:56.120 the White House because he introduced such a number of 252 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:59.720 restrictions and sanctions against Russia that no president is ever 253 00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:02.840 introduced before. If Ms Harris is doing well, then maybe 254 00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:07.919 she will refrain from actions of this kind. He did say, ultimately, 255 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.399 the choice is up to you, the American people, and 256 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:14.039 he said we will respect that choice. As for the favorites. 257 00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:16.480 It's not up to us to determine that. It is, 258 00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:20.240 after all, the choice of the American people. Interesting statement, 259 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:26.240 and he's accurate on that. Five fifty five K see 260 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:30.960 the talk station.

Man, 374 00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:03.480 Let's see what Larry's got before you to the stupid Larry. 375 00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:05.920 Welcome to the Morning Show and happy Friday to you. 376 00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:07.799 Yeah, good morning. 377 00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:09.720 Hey, I just kind of want to give my opinion 378 00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:12.920 and get yours on a couple of things. How did 379 00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:18.079 how that kid sneak that ar fifteen end of that school. 380 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:22.960 Obviously there's no security at a school, no metal detectives, 381 00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:25.680 no no. When are they going to beef up security 382 00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:29.599 at his schools? I just can't comprehend how he could 383 00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:30.799 have got that gun in there. 384 00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:32.000 It was a long gun. 385 00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:36.039 It's a legitimate question. It's one that I don't have 386 00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:38.640 an answer to. I haven't seen enough details, and they're 387 00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:41.640 still gathering information. Of course, there's slow to release anything, 388 00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.160 and that's typically the case anymore. But I heard in 389 00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:48.519 some news report I was listening as I was driving 390 00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:50.480 to work or I was in my car, that he 391 00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:53.480 had left the room and the room was locked, and 392 00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:56.279 he knocked on the door and was then allowed access 393 00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:58.839 back into the schoolroom where the shooting took place. So 394 00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:01.640 I don't know it's security protocol, is there or at 395 00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:04.400 any school? I know it differs from district to district, 396 00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:07.039 that's for sure. But you make a good point. I 397 00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:11.200 have no problem having armed, uh you know, responsible armed 398 00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:14.680 adults in schools defending folks. But you've got to get 399 00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:18.160 the armed person near the person who's shooting people up. 400 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:21.160 So time is of the essence, and it's certainly easy 401 00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:22.799 if you can get a gun into the building to 402 00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:26.039 do some serious damage before someone with a firearm puts 403 00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:28.200 you down and out of your misery. 404 00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:32.240 And metal detectors, why don't they all have metal detectors 405 00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:32.799 that have. 406 00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:36.640 Called that gun coming in with it? 407 00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:39.440 I don't know, Yeah, I get, I suppose. I mean 408 00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:41.880 one one would imagine a metal detector would have detected 409 00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:44.119 an AR fifteen. But I suppose you know there are 410 00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:47.200 workarounds to that. You know, you can hide a gun 411 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:50.680 in the building after hours, and yeah, I'm just just yeah, 412 00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:54.680 it's it's I'm from my standpoint, it's too early to tell, 413 00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:57.880 but I've got no objection to having metal detectors outside 414 00:24:57.880 --> 00:24:59.759 buildings as long as everybody has to go through them 415 00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:02.880 and they're properly searched. So appreciate the call man. Hope 416 00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:04.799 you have a wonderful weekend. Out of time.

Got 429 00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:47.039 A man accused of fleeing from Pierce County deputies two 430 00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:49.680 times arrested after a canine found him hiding in a 431 00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:53.480 garbage can where he was naked. This according a new 432 00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:57.079 video in court documents. Jeff Jacob Matthew Patterson arrested August 433 00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:02.519 twenty first in Fredrickson, Washington, after multiple attempts to escape 434 00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:05.880 law enforce from now facing eight charges. Court documents say 435 00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:08.799 he was first a first incident had on August eleventh, 436 00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:12.559 where he allegedly was found slumped over in a stolen 437 00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:14.960 Ford f Three to fifty deputies attempted to prevent the 438 00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:17.880 vehicle from fleeing with stop sticks. He woke up, evaded 439 00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:21.759 patrol cars, and led deputies on a chase. Patterson drove 440 00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:26.119 into oncoming traffic multiple times, reaching speeds over one hundred 441 00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:28.640 and eight miles an hour, but Washington State Patrol then 442 00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:31.400 took over the chase once it went onto a different highway, 443 00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:34.920 specifically I. Five vehicle later crashed in Seattle's were near 444 00:26:35.079 --> 00:26:39.200 Valley neighborhood, and officers identified two occupants of the stolen 445 00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:41.680 F three fifty one, a woman who said she had 446 00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:44.960 previously been in a relationship with this Patterson guy. They 447 00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:48.160 share a four year old child who was unbuckled in 448 00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:51.839 the back seat as Patterson fled from the deputies. Woman 449 00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:54.400 claimed she and Patterson broke up a couple of weeks prior, 450 00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:56.279 and then she was only with him to see her son. 451 00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:01.079 Said Patterson appeared to be high, so he pulled over 452 00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:04.160 to sober up. She fell asleep by the time he 453 00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:06.799 started the chase. Court documents also state that she called 454 00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:09.519 nine to one one from Patterson's phone during the pursuit, 455 00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:11.839 telling dispatchers that her four year old was inside the 456 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:15.279 stolen vehicle. Despite the woman and her son being present 457 00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:19.640 at the crash site, Patterson wasn't there. However. Ten days later, 458 00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:22.480 Pierce Keunny deputies received a report of a suspicious vehicle 459 00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:25.559 seventy fourth Avenue in a one to eighty eighth street. 460 00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:28.920 A check on the vehicle's license plate showed belonged to 461 00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:33.759 Patterson's girlfriend, and Patterson appeared to be in the car 462 00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:38.119 with her. Deputies blocked and surrounded the vehicle, ordering Patterson 463 00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:40.440 to surrender. His four year old son exited the car 464 00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:43.880 and walked toward the deputies. After not complying, the deputy 465 00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:45.920 shot out the back window of the car, and the 466 00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:53.240 woman could be heard yelling something about getting dressed. Shortly after, 467 00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:56.160 Patterson exits from the passenger's side door and begins running 468 00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:01.640 from the deputies, completely naked. That defence deputy's lost sight 469 00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:05.240 of him, so Canine Bronco was called onto the scene 470 00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:08.200 for an assist, and after combing the neighborhood, Bronco located 471 00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:12.039 Patterson hiding inside a garbage can. That time, he was 472 00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:14.480 taken into custody without further incident. He's now in the 473 00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:18.400 Pierce County Jail three hundred thousand dollars bail, facing charge 474 00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:21.759 of unlawful possession of a stolen vehicle to count the 475 00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:25.880 reckless endangerment, resisting arrest, unlawful imprisonment, attempting to elude police, 476 00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:29.880 property damage, driving on a suspended or revoked license. The 477 00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:39.519 child turned over to Child Protective Services. Of course, we 478 00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:41.839 got to go to Florida for one. That's where we 479 00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:44.759 usually are or end up on a stack of stupid. Friday, 480 00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:47.559 police in Orlando, Florida, arrested a man wearing an ankle 481 00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:50.240 monitor who allegedly tried to kidnap a woman at a 482 00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:54.400 Walmart parking lot.

Those books will be available online 535 00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:47.759 blog page fifty five Caresey dot com acourge You to 536 00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:50.119 stop on over there, get the iHeartMedia app wire there. 537 00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:52.319 He can stream the audio directly from that website.

Kind of having 543 00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.839 to go continuing this sort of joke with the Biden 544 00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:12.559 administration accusing Vladimir Putin of orchestrating a covert campaign to 545 00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:18.359 influence you. I just I still find it so comical 546 00:32:18.440 --> 00:32:23.200 on so many levels. It's really a technicality. Had they, 547 00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:27.319 you know, sort of identified themselves as Russians, you know how, 548 00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:31.240 I am from Russia and I am funding an article here. 549 00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:35.799 I don't know if you immediately would reject that, because 550 00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:39.799 I suppose not everything Russia says in its own media 551 00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:42.079 outlets is a lie. Of course, it's going to be 552 00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:46.920 a narrative that supports the Russian people, the Russian political perspective. 553 00:32:46.440 --> 00:32:46.960 What have you. 554 00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:50.400 But that's the same with literally every news site you 555 00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:53.200 would go with, everybody seems to have a bias or 556 00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:55.799 event along some lines. They haven't all gone to journalism 557 00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:59.440 school and pledge of and given us a pledge of neutrality. 558 00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:02.960 So anyway, it's Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. Meanwhile, and all 559 00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:06.000 the other reporting, we have the Chinese Communist Party apparently 560 00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:10.240 infiltrating the four corners of American government. But let's not 561 00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:14.119 pay attention to the Chinese Communist Party, And Kim Strassel 562 00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:17.000 writes about it today in the Journal Justice Department Trump's 563 00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:22.920 Russian disinformation. It's rather comical. Which is more likely to 564 00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:28.359 influence a US election? A dribble of Russian propaganda in 565 00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:34.519 an ocean of online electioneering, or a federal law enforcement 566 00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:42.039 campaign against one of the candidates you decide. Bear that 567 00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:45.119 choice in mind when analyzing the Justice Department's decision this 568 00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:48.920 week to jump again into the election fray with another 569 00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:55.000 round of warnings over Russian disinformation, even as the first 570 00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:58.279 mail in ballots go out and they are I think 571 00:33:58.319 --> 00:34:04.519 today's day when the election kicks off North Carolina. The 572 00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:08.480 mail in ballot process begins today, So timing on this 573 00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:12.280 one couldn't be any better. Most striking party, She writes 574 00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:15.159 of the Wednesday press conference from which the Department unveiled 575 00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:21.320 indictments against covert Russian actors, was its lack of self awareness, 576 00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:26.320 as if this weren't the same government agency that fed 577 00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:30.039 us the Trump Russia collusion lies of twenty sixteen and 578 00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:35.639 twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen, an ally 579 00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:39.199 of an intelligence community that four years ago falsely branded 580 00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:45.280 reporting about Hunter Biden's laptop disinformation. Whatever the merits of 581 00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:48.119 this week's accident against Russians, and they look legit. The 582 00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:53.960 Justice Department's failures to acknowledge it has enormous credibility problems 583 00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:57.639 is almost comical. I would say it is truly comical. 584 00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:02.639 KM gap comes not only from past whoppers, but from 585 00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:08.239 continued mishandling of the disinformation question. Somewhere buried in Special 586 00:35:08.360 --> 00:35:13.000 Counselor Robert Muller's voluminous report was some useful information about 587 00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:16.079 Russian shenanigans back in the twenty sixteen cycle. But the 588 00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:18.960 partisan need to magnify that threat and tie it that 589 00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:25.119 Donald Trump produced this much more consequential propaganda campaign. What 590 00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:29.679 the news of recent years shows is that bad guys everywhere, 591 00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:35.960 not only Russia, are seeking to influence Americans, always, not 592 00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:39.639 only at election time, and for their own malevolent purposes, 593 00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:44.079 not to help one US political party or another. I'm 594 00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:46.440 reading this because she's making the same point in this 595 00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:51.159 op ed that I've been making for years. The Chinese 596 00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:56.360 Communist Party is using online trolls to stoke US division 597 00:35:56.599 --> 00:36:00.280 on hot button topics ranging from Israel Hamas conflict to 598 00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:06.480 racial inequality via an operation known as spamouflage. It's also 599 00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:12.480 backing operatives who have fueled US street protests and infiltrated universities, 600 00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:15.920 think tax and even. We learned this week the office 601 00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:21.719 of New York Governor Kathy Hockel that'll be of investigation 602 00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:24.519 only last month said the Iranian government was behind a 603 00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:29.719 hack and leak operation against the Trump campaign. Federal investigators 604 00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:33.400 are looking into whether Turkey funneled money into New York 605 00:36:33.559 --> 00:36:38.360 Mayor Eric Adams campaign. Former Senator Bob and Endez was 606 00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:41.239 convicted of bribery and other charges for providing favors to 607 00:36:41.519 --> 00:36:47.199 Egypt and Cutter, while Texas Representative Henry Kuller stands accused 608 00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:51.920 of accepting brides from a government owned azer by Johnny entity. 609 00:36:53.559 --> 00:36:56.280 It's far easier to name a country that isn't trying 610 00:36:56.320 --> 00:37:02.719 to influence US and one that is. Contrary many press accounts, 611 00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:05.840 these operations usually aren't focused on putting a candidate in office. 612 00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:08.760 As Attorney General Mary Garland acknowledged this week, the recent 613 00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:14.440 Russian operation, backed by the State Media Operation RT, worked 614 00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:19.679 to amplify, in his words, US domestic divisions in order 615 00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:25.360 to weaken US opposition to core Russian interests, most notably 616 00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:29.880 support for Ukraine. Foreign actors devote most of the efforts 617 00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:33.480 to setting Americans against each other, undermining faith in elections 618 00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:36.960 and institutions. Again, that is a point I make regularly. 619 00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:41.519 They don't care where they're sewing division as long as 620 00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:47.800 they're sewing division. And when you buy into it, and 621 00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:51.480 you help foster and and feed that division with your 622 00:37:51.639 --> 00:37:56.960 rude and stupid comments online, you're doing their bidding. They 623 00:37:57.199 --> 00:38:00.360 smile with glee at the division that they well like 624 00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:05.719 the results of the division they sew. She writes a 625 00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:09.280 Justice Department It's media pack also do a grave disservice 626 00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:15.199 in overstating these destabilizing effects and in the process aiding them. 627 00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:19.079 The Russian ops are nasty and criminal, but also a 628 00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:23.360 drop in the content or drop of content in the vast, 629 00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:28.079 heaving universe of political commentary. They hardly compare to the 630 00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:30.800 many red blooded Americans who don't need foreign health to 631 00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:34.679 spread nut job theories. The Justice Department should absolutely be 632 00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:37.400 shutting down foreign operations as they are found and making 633 00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:41.119 Americans aware of risk. But the grandiose press conferences and 634 00:38:41.239 --> 00:38:46.360 alarmed warnings of a flood of disinformation breed far more 635 00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:50.599 anxiety over the integrity of elections than anything Vladimir Putin 636 00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:55.079 is is hoping for. Don't forget the power of that 637 00:38:55.280 --> 00:39:01.599 pulpit in the universe of influence, the federal government has 638 00:39:01.639 --> 00:39:04.920 a megaphone to make mister Putin and Iran's bots weep 639 00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:09.199 with envy. The Biden administration is highly aware. For the 640 00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:12.480 first time in history, its prosecutors obtained an indictment against 641 00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:15.760 the former president and used its power to press a 642 00:39:16.159 --> 00:39:19.559 meedy thumb on the scale of this election, with accusations 643 00:39:19.960 --> 00:39:26.760 against mister Trump that include conspiracy, corruption, and obstruction. Who 644 00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:33.000 has more influence with Americans the unknown Russian functionary slinging 645 00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:38.719 a video into the black hole of YouTube, or a 646 00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:44.639 prosecutor backed by the Justice Department seal press cameras flashing 647 00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:49.559 using a superseding indictment ten weeks before an election to 648 00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:53.199 swear Americans. So the claim that the Republican presidential nominee 649 00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:56.880 is a criminal. Yeah, you decide who's got more influence. 650 00:39:58.760 --> 00:40:00.400 There was a time when the Department and sought to 651 00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:04.280 avoid politically charged prosecutions before elections, the better to preserve 652 00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:08.639 its reputation for impartiality. It managed to foil or disrupt 653 00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:13.880 decades of Soviet propaganda campaigns without roiling the civic debate. 654 00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:18.360 The Department today is as much as part of the 655 00:40:18.440 --> 00:40:22.079 news cycle as the candidates themselves. If it wants to 656 00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:26.480 cut down on an improper influence in the elections, it 657 00:40:26.559 --> 00:40:29.079 could do no greater good than to go quiet until 658 00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:35.440 November sixth, Well stated, And don't overlook the ultimate point, 659 00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:37.800 the point that she's making, the point again that I've 660 00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:41.840 made for years. I always point to the United States Flag, 661 00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:45.079 our great stars and stripes, and how I look at 662 00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:47.519 that and still in my heart of hearts view that 663 00:40:47.719 --> 00:40:52.119 as a symbol of freedom, a beautiful symbol of freedom, 664 00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:54.320 in spite of the fact that those freedoms are eroding 665 00:40:54.840 --> 00:40:57.559 moment by moment. In our own country before our very 666 00:40:57.639 --> 00:41:02.360 eyes by evil, manipulative force. But to me, it's a 667 00:41:02.440 --> 00:41:05.679 symbol of freedom. Freedom for you to believe in your ideas, 668 00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:08.559 Freedom for you to worship your God and your religion. 669 00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:12.320 Freedom for you to pursue your own life choices. Yes, 670 00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:16.039 freedom for you to be gay or lesbian, don't care. 671 00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:18.519 It's part of the freedom that we all enjoy. I 672 00:41:18.599 --> 00:41:20.960 can't shove my ideas down your throat, and you can't 673 00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:22.800 shove yours down minds, so don't try to do it 674 00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:28.079 through the education system. Freedom is what that flag stands for. 675 00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:31.159 But as I've noted, while I look at it as 676 00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:33.199 a symbol of freedom, it has also been viewed by 677 00:41:33.239 --> 00:41:36.360 so many people now as a sign and a symbol 678 00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:42.440 of division. By demonizing the United States, calling it inherently racist, 679 00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:44.719 saying that we were born of original sin, wanting to 680 00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:47.519 bring it down and create something from the ashes of 681 00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:51.320 what was the greatest republic and greatest government the world 682 00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:56.559 has ever seen. That symbol becomes a source of division, 683 00:41:57.599 --> 00:42:00.920 and that division is sowed by every foe out in 684 00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:03.280 the world that you can come up with, whether it's 685 00:42:03.320 --> 00:42:07.039 the Iranians, the Russians, the Communist Party of China, you 686 00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:12.480 name it, or in the vast sea of opportunity out 687 00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:16.440 there on the internet, some random dude can also help 688 00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:19.760 stir the seeds of division. Don't help them with it. 689 00:42:23.880 --> 00:42:35.000 Six at five Karse the talk station. Else happy it's Friday. David. Yeah, 690 00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:37.719 he's looking for a new Yeah from David, can count 691 00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:45.159 on it. Let us see here over to illegal immigration, 692 00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:48.679 obviously a massive problem, big and very top ten, maybe 693 00:42:48.719 --> 00:42:51.639 top three on most people's willstcoring the election. How is 694 00:42:51.679 --> 00:42:54.920 it that Kamala Harris under her watch could allow nine 695 00:42:55.119 --> 00:42:59.880 million folks in since twenty twenty and still be pulling real, 696 00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:02.880 actually quite well up against Donald Trump given the illegal 697 00:43:02.920 --> 00:43:06.719 immigration situation, which is a real problem. I know we've 698 00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:14.599 talked before about the gangs, the very very very dangerous 699 00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:16.719 gangs that have been creeping in, gangs that have taken 700 00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:22.840 over hotels and the migrant shelters. Some information that we've 701 00:43:22.880 --> 00:43:25.960 talked about earlier in the week on that and now 702 00:43:26.320 --> 00:43:29.039 I saw over on zero Heads and apparently we have 703 00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:34.159 concerns about terrorism by armed Venezuela and gangs, notably this 704 00:43:34.400 --> 00:43:38.840 trendy Aragua gang that was terrorizing the northern Denver suburb 705 00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:44.119 of Aurora, as well as other sanctuary cities. Texas based 706 00:43:44.159 --> 00:43:46.960 oil Gas Company issued a memo to their employees informing 707 00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:50.400 them that the police and FBI have warned armed Cuban 708 00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:55.039 and Venezuela migrant gangs are committing thefts in the Permian Basin, 709 00:43:55.119 --> 00:43:58.280 which is America's highest producing oil field. According to the memos, 710 00:43:58.320 --> 00:44:01.719 that industry peers and law enforcement in West Texas are 711 00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:05.639 aware of a recent increase and organized criminal activity inclusive 712 00:44:05.800 --> 00:44:10.199 of violent crimes, gang activity, and oil field thefts in 713 00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:16.800 and around WTX operation areas West Texas. Specifically, regional law 714 00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:20.039 enforcement the FBI advised gang members emanating from Cuban and 715 00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:24.079 Venezuela are organizing and working in concert to commit thefts 716 00:44:24.119 --> 00:44:26.960 within the permiting base, and these individuals and groups are armed, 717 00:44:27.079 --> 00:44:30.239 violent and violent in nature and will not hesitate to 718 00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:34.719 use force. Crimes associated with these groups include theft of oil, 719 00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:38.199 diesel fuel, copper wire, and catalyst elements. Recent incidents have 720 00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:41.320 also included two assaults by waterhulers who are attempting to 721 00:44:41.360 --> 00:44:46.679 steal oil from WTX oil field sites. After being observed 722 00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:49.360 by witnesses, the thieves drove up to they drove up 723 00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:51.400 to investigate the thieves attempted to use their vehicle to 724 00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:55.000 run into the witnesses and run them off the road. 725 00:44:55.039 --> 00:45:01.079 Another incident, a thief acting as a spotter attempted to 726 00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:03.199 run a witness off the road. There have been numerous 727 00:45:03.239 --> 00:45:06.840 reports of second vehicles acting as spotters for waterhaulers committing 728 00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:09.679 oil thefts. So just one more thing to add to 729 00:45:09.719 --> 00:45:14.559 the growing list of crimes committed by these organized gangs. 730 00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:19.079 And in a related we have a problem with our 731 00:45:19.119 --> 00:45:22.679 own Customs and Border Protection officials. We have two US 732 00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:27.039 Customs and Border Protection officers now accused of working for 733 00:45:27.639 --> 00:45:32.840 Mexican drug trafficking organization, allowing vehicles loaded with fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, 734 00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:37.199 and methn phetamine to pass unchecked through their inspection lanes 735 00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:43.559 in southern California. Where there's an opportunity to make money, 736 00:45:43.719 --> 00:45:48.960 loyalty to country and your job responsibilities sometimes takes a 737 00:45:49.079 --> 00:45:52.719 major back seat. Six twenty five five K site Talk 738 00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:57.519 Station Tech frit with Dave Hatter next, including concerns over 739 00:45:58.079 --> 00:46:02.239 job seekers employment scams are skyrocketing. One of the three 740 00:46:02.280 --> 00:46:05.079 topics we're talking about with Dave it is six point 741 00:46:05.079 --> 00:46:07.960 thirty It is Friday. It is that time. Thank you 742 00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:10.519 to interest it. You'll find an interest it dot com, 743 00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:13.800 which the Business Courier says it's the best business out 744 00:46:13.840 --> 00:46:17.000 there to help businesses with their computer related needs and 745 00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:19.639 problems and best practices. And the man, the mental, the 746 00:46:19.679 --> 00:46:22.599 legend behind interest i T joins us every Friday at 747 00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:25.199 this time. His name Dave Adda. Welcome back, Dave. Always 748 00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:26.920 a pleasure to have you on the show, my friend. 749 00:46:27.280 --> 00:46:29.440 Always my pleasure to be here, Brian, thanks for having 750 00:46:29.480 --> 00:46:29.679 me on. 751 00:46:29.880 --> 00:46:31.480 Oh yeah, where do you want to start? I got 752 00:46:31.840 --> 00:46:34.440 the three articles you send, We've got dogs, we've got 753 00:46:35.079 --> 00:46:38.320 job seekers, and we've got Apple helping the Chinese Communist Party. 754 00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:40.480 Why don't we do that one last? Why don't we 755 00:46:40.559 --> 00:46:44.559 start with the Ukraine deployees nine thousand dollars robot All okay, 756 00:46:45.400 --> 00:46:47.880 you know, the last ten years or so, Brian, we've 757 00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:51.639 talked about, you know, robots and how far this technology's 758 00:46:51.679 --> 00:46:55.239 advanced for a long time, and you know, he obviously 759 00:46:55.320 --> 00:46:57.599 continues to advance. I encourage people to go out and 760 00:46:57.719 --> 00:47:03.800 check out like Atlas for example, or Musks, robots, optimists 761 00:47:03.840 --> 00:47:06.840 and see what these things can do. I know again, 762 00:47:06.880 --> 00:47:09.239 we've talked about this. I'm sure you've watched some of 763 00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:11.679 these videos. You know, I stumble into these things all 764 00:47:11.719 --> 00:47:15.280 the time. But there's been concern by many experts out 765 00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:18.440 there for you know, quite a while that these robots, 766 00:47:18.519 --> 00:47:23.519 even though many of them have more industrial type applications. 767 00:47:24.239 --> 00:47:26.960 And let's be real here, industrial robots have been around 768 00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:29.280 for a long long time, right, I mean probably into 769 00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:32.559 the late sixties or early seventies. We've seen factories in 770 00:47:32.639 --> 00:47:35.519 places like GM and John Deere and so forth, Caterpillar, 771 00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:38.800 you know, with the robot arm that's what. Yeah, so 772 00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:42.119 that kind of I mean, the concept of robots itself 773 00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:45.079 is not new, but when you look at the advanced 774 00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:48.920 capabilities these things now have, it's pretty pretty wild on 775 00:47:49.000 --> 00:47:52.840 a number of fronts. But the weaponization, you know, continues 776 00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:54.440 to advance, and it is really kind of scary. 777 00:47:54.679 --> 00:47:57.119 It is really really scary. And the other creepy thing 778 00:47:57.159 --> 00:47:58.880 about it. At least the robots back on the ones 779 00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:02.800 you're referring to, the early one and didn't have animal 780 00:48:03.159 --> 00:48:06.719 like or human like qualities. They look like industrial machinery. 781 00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:11.599 Now you got these creepy armed dogs. They got four 782 00:48:11.760 --> 00:48:14.400 legs and they run around. They kind of act like animals, 783 00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:16.639 but they're not, and they're just scary as hell. 784 00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:19.920 Yeah, to your point, you know, a lot of those 785 00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:24.159 earlier industrial robots had limited mobility, right, they were fixed 786 00:48:24.199 --> 00:48:25.880 to the ground, and they had a certain you know, 787 00:48:26.079 --> 00:48:29.920 range of motion and certain tasks they perform, but for 788 00:48:30.039 --> 00:48:32.760 the most part, they were you know, pretty much fixed 789 00:48:32.760 --> 00:48:36.000 to one place. Now you've got to your point. Robots 790 00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:40.239 that either look like animals are humanoid. They have a 791 00:48:40.360 --> 00:48:43.280 wide range of motion, they can perform a wide array 792 00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:47.079 of tasks. And again this idea of weaponization, which obviously 793 00:48:47.199 --> 00:48:49.679 science fiction writers have been predicting for a long time. 794 00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:52.519 But you know, we've seen examples now. And this is 795 00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:55.920 a headline from the New York Post. Ukraine deploys nine 796 00:48:55.960 --> 00:48:58.920 thousand dollars robot dogs versus Russia with plants to use 797 00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:02.679 them as quote Kamakazi's unquote on the front lines. Yeah, 798 00:49:03.679 --> 00:49:06.320 and you know that this article gets into a variety 799 00:49:06.360 --> 00:49:09.440 of different uses. They have pictures of what I'm assuming 800 00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:13.079 are Ukrainian soldiers with these robot dogs, which look like 801 00:49:13.199 --> 00:49:15.159 something out of an X Files episode, or there is 802 00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:18.440 a Black Mirror episode. For folks who haven't seen Black 803 00:49:18.480 --> 00:49:22.360 Mirror on Netflix. You know, there's a Black Mirror episode 804 00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:24.719 that once you see this headline and watch it, you 805 00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:26.880 will you will definitely see why there are concerns. 806 00:49:26.960 --> 00:49:29.119 But they watch that show. 807 00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:31.599 I get it, Brian, I understand. 808 00:49:31.639 --> 00:49:36.119 So creepy real, and it's like a moment and it's 809 00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:38.840 one moment in time ahead of where we are right now. 810 00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:40.760 And that's what's so creepy about that show. 811 00:49:41.599 --> 00:49:45.440 I am not gonna just what you're saying, but they've 812 00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:48.239 got some photos and here are the dogs doing different things, 813 00:49:48.280 --> 00:49:54.320 and they point out because about nine obviously can't train 814 00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:57.840 a soldier for nine thousand dollars, or field a soldier 815 00:49:57.920 --> 00:49:58.920 and feed a soldier for. 816 00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:02.119 Nine thousand dollars, get a soldier to kill ourselves? 817 00:50:04.559 --> 00:50:07.559 Yes, well exactly. I was in the Army of Reserves 818 00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:10.239 for eight years back between eighty six and ninety two 819 00:50:10.360 --> 00:50:13.159 as a combat engineer, So you know, I'm really familiar 820 00:50:13.239 --> 00:50:15.760 with things like C four and landmines and such. And 821 00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:19.760 when you think about and that's really old technology. Uh, 822 00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:22.480 you know, we're going back almost forty years now. When 823 00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:27.159 you think of modern landmines, modern explosives that may be 824 00:50:27.320 --> 00:50:29.239 much more powerful than C four that I don't know 825 00:50:29.320 --> 00:50:31.559 about when you look at the size of one of 826 00:50:31.599 --> 00:50:34.119 these robots, you could pack a substantial amount of C 827 00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:38.000 four or other military grade explosive on one of these things. Oh, 828 00:50:38.039 --> 00:50:40.400 you just literally have it walk into a truck or 829 00:50:40.440 --> 00:50:43.199 a tank, you know. Now, these don't go that fast 830 00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:45.920 at this point. Their maximum speed is nine miles an hour. 831 00:50:46.480 --> 00:50:49.199 But what human being can run nine miles an hour 832 00:50:49.360 --> 00:50:53.320 for any extended period of time. Not many, you know, 833 00:50:53.599 --> 00:50:57.679 So it's it's pretty crazy when you think that. You know, 834 00:50:57.800 --> 00:50:59.639 in the old days, you go back and think about 835 00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:02.000 World War two or something like that, and you have 836 00:51:02.079 --> 00:51:04.960 a machine gun nest right, yeah, and you know you've 837 00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:07.159 got to fight the guys and try to take them out, 838 00:51:07.480 --> 00:51:10.119 hand grenades, you know, obviously a variety of different weapons. 839 00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:11.920 But here you could just have one of these things 840 00:51:12.119 --> 00:51:15.440 walk right into it. And depending on how heavily armored 841 00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:16.920 it is and how good of a shot you are, 842 00:51:16.920 --> 00:51:19.320 I mean, obviously, if you hit this with enough rounds, 843 00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:22.840 it's probably not going to survive. But this is the 844 00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:24.880 first generation of this stuff. You know, it does not 845 00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:28.280 look heavily armored, and obviously that would weigh it down 846 00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:31.199 and make it you waste more battery life because according 847 00:51:31.199 --> 00:51:33.800 to this article, these things only run about five hours. 848 00:51:34.960 --> 00:51:38.719 But it just it shows you the potential future of 849 00:51:38.920 --> 00:51:42.000 these sorts of weapons and war. I know there's other 850 00:51:42.159 --> 00:51:44.880 articles out there about the Army testing robot tanks, and 851 00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:48.159 you know, you've got drones. I think drones, obviously in 852 00:51:48.239 --> 00:51:49.760 my mind are a type of robot. 853 00:51:50.039 --> 00:51:54.159 They've got drone boats, cazi's that blow up ships in 854 00:51:54.199 --> 00:51:55.760 the shipping line over in the Middle East. 855 00:51:57.519 --> 00:52:00.719 Yeah, it's uh. And I saw an article which I 856 00:52:00.760 --> 00:52:03.920 didn't send you this morning apparently and again you know, 857 00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:05.960 I always like to try to fact check this stuff 858 00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:09.039 as much as I can, but apparently the Ukrainians have 859 00:52:09.360 --> 00:52:11.639 used some sort of drone with a flamethrower on it. 860 00:52:11.760 --> 00:52:16.880 Now, So yeah, it's if you can imagine it, it's real. 861 00:52:17.280 --> 00:52:19.800 I mean, that's where we are. If you can just 862 00:52:19.880 --> 00:52:22.639 imagine it, it probably is a reality out there somewhere 863 00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:24.920 behind the scenes, just coming to a theater near you. 864 00:52:25.159 --> 00:52:28.920 Yeah, even if it's not in public, Yes, it's probably 865 00:52:28.920 --> 00:52:29.599 in a lab somewhere. 866 00:52:29.599 --> 00:52:32.639 There's a great you know, it's real quick here because 867 00:52:32.639 --> 00:52:35.760 you get right. I watched the drone display the Eban fireworks, 868 00:52:35.840 --> 00:52:38.639 thousand drones flying in synchronicity, and the thing that struck 869 00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:41.920 me is like, holy crap, this is a I could 870 00:52:41.960 --> 00:52:44.360 write a check and pay for that myself. Like, if 871 00:52:44.400 --> 00:52:46.239 I had enough money, I could hire the company. It's 872 00:52:46.440 --> 00:52:48.840 it's a private company that does this, right. Absolutely, they 873 00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:52.719 have the technology to perform that kind of intricate ballet 874 00:52:53.039 --> 00:52:55.239 in the sky with a thousand different drones. Can you 875 00:52:55.480 --> 00:53:00.679 imagine what the military tick can do. It's just frightening stuff. Thanks, right, 876 00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:03.920 we'll come back. We'll talked about employment scams as well 877 00:53:04.039 --> 00:53:07.320 as Apple and why are they promoting Chinese communist parties? 878 00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:10.920 Spy our apps? So forty two week about DRECD talk station. 879 00:53:10.960 --> 00:53:13.159 You can find Dave and his crew Dave Adders Crew, 880 00:53:13.480 --> 00:53:17.000 interest it dot com. Thank you for sponsoring this important segment. 881 00:53:17.239 --> 00:53:18.559 Which way you want to go? You want to go 882 00:53:18.679 --> 00:53:21.360 Chinese Communist party or employment scams? 883 00:53:21.719 --> 00:53:23.480 Why don't we do employment scams next? 884 00:53:23.519 --> 00:53:23.840 All right? 885 00:53:24.280 --> 00:53:26.400 So, I think this is such an important topic and 886 00:53:26.480 --> 00:53:28.760 if you just go do a quick search on this, right, 887 00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:30.960 So I hit duck dot go. I did a quick 888 00:53:31.039 --> 00:53:34.280 search on job scams and I mean they're just pages 889 00:53:34.320 --> 00:53:36.199 and pages of information. Let me give you a couple 890 00:53:36.239 --> 00:53:39.039 of headlines here and then we'll delve into some specifics. 891 00:53:39.880 --> 00:53:43.079 The FTC says how to spot the latest job scams. 892 00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:47.280 The FBI has reported on this Better Business Bureau job 893 00:53:47.400 --> 00:53:50.760 Scam Alert, how to spot a job scam. Indeed, a 894 00:53:50.920 --> 00:53:54.079 job hosting site right says ten signs of job posting, 895 00:53:54.159 --> 00:53:58.599 maybe a scam. NBC says job scam searched one hundred 896 00:53:58.599 --> 00:54:02.480 and eighteen percent twenty two three aided by AI. CNN 897 00:54:02.599 --> 00:54:06.440 has a similar headline. And then Money Magazine common job 898 00:54:06.519 --> 00:54:08.559 scams and how to avoid them. That's just just me 899 00:54:08.760 --> 00:54:11.760 scanning what I found on a simple search. Okay, And 900 00:54:11.880 --> 00:54:14.599 I bring this up because I think this is not 901 00:54:14.760 --> 00:54:17.440 news to anyone listening. The job market is not good. 902 00:54:17.719 --> 00:54:21.239 It's getting worse rapidly from everything I've read, and I 903 00:54:21.440 --> 00:54:24.280 know many people who are looking for jobs and struggling 904 00:54:24.800 --> 00:54:28.159 mightily at this time. So I wanted to raise this 905 00:54:28.320 --> 00:54:31.000 point because I know people are looking for jobs, and 906 00:54:31.119 --> 00:54:34.280 I know the market is tough, and scammers, unfortunately, as 907 00:54:34.320 --> 00:54:37.199 we've discussed so many times, Brian will go wherever people are. 908 00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:40.719 These people are creative and devious and they will steal 909 00:54:40.760 --> 00:54:44.880 your information and or your money any possible way. So 910 00:54:45.639 --> 00:54:49.800 I want to warn people while obviously keep looking for 911 00:54:49.880 --> 00:54:52.400 a job. I just think it's so despicable that there 912 00:54:52.440 --> 00:54:54.760 are scammers out there who would want to hit someone 913 00:54:54.800 --> 00:54:57.840 when they're already down. I mean, how would you feel 914 00:54:58.079 --> 00:55:00.280 and what impact would that have on you in your 915 00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:03.719 family if you're already in financial trouble because you can't 916 00:55:03.719 --> 00:55:06.079 find a job and now you have people stealing your 917 00:55:06.119 --> 00:55:08.800 money and stealing your information and perhaps your identity as 918 00:55:08.800 --> 00:55:14.400 a result. I mean, it's just absolutely despicable. So you know, 919 00:55:14.639 --> 00:55:17.360 whether it's something like search engine poisoning, We've talked about 920 00:55:17.400 --> 00:55:20.599 this before. People need to understand that the bad guys 921 00:55:20.639 --> 00:55:23.320 will spend some moderate amount of money, some nominal amount 922 00:55:23.360 --> 00:55:25.719 of money to go post a job on Indeed or 923 00:55:25.840 --> 00:55:30.039 Monster or Dice or any job board they'll buy. They'll 924 00:55:30.119 --> 00:55:33.320 use search engine optimization techniques and buy sponsored ads. So 925 00:55:33.400 --> 00:55:35.920 when you search for something, what shows up on a 926 00:55:36.000 --> 00:55:38.559 search engine like Google or Being or a start page 927 00:55:38.639 --> 00:55:42.360 or Duck Duck or whatever is fake. Because they know 928 00:55:42.480 --> 00:55:46.119 the average person doesn't know search engine poisoning is a thing, right, 929 00:55:46.199 --> 00:55:48.519 They think that because things show up in a search engine, 930 00:55:48.559 --> 00:55:50.719 they must be legit, or they show up on a 931 00:55:50.840 --> 00:55:53.079 job board, they must be legit, and it's critical to 932 00:55:53.199 --> 00:55:55.800 understand it. Just because something shows up in a search, 933 00:55:56.519 --> 00:55:58.719 or just because a job is posted to a legitimate 934 00:55:58.840 --> 00:56:01.920 job site doesn't mean there isn't a scammer behind it. Right, 935 00:56:02.039 --> 00:56:05.000 everything is easy to spoof. These people are smart. They 936 00:56:05.079 --> 00:56:07.960 know that average folks don't understand how these things work. 937 00:56:08.079 --> 00:56:10.920 So you know real quick, because I know what arou 938 00:56:10.960 --> 00:56:12.960 out of time, I encourage people, and I'll post this 939 00:56:13.079 --> 00:56:15.880 in my notes on Twitter and LinkedIn and so forth. 940 00:56:17.360 --> 00:56:20.000 If you just look at the ND ten signs of 941 00:56:20.119 --> 00:56:23.639 job posting maybe fake or the FTC's guidance, there's some 942 00:56:23.800 --> 00:56:26.960 great tips there that help you kind of wrap your 943 00:56:26.960 --> 00:56:29.599 head around what to look out for. The number one 944 00:56:29.679 --> 00:56:31.559 obviously being of it's too good to be true, it 945 00:56:31.639 --> 00:56:35.760 probably is. Yeah. Hey, if you suddenly get an unsolicited 946 00:56:36.280 --> 00:56:39.719 email from a quote recruiter or headhunter unquote and they 947 00:56:39.760 --> 00:56:41.599 want to offer you a three hundred thousand dollars a 948 00:56:41.719 --> 00:56:44.880 year remote job working four hours a day, Hey guess what. 949 00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:48.000 Probably scam I'm going to go with. Definitely a scam. 950 00:56:49.119 --> 00:56:51.079 Not a week goes by, I don't get an opportunity 951 00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:54.559 to represent someone. Are you interested in doing some legal work. 952 00:56:54.639 --> 00:56:59.079 I'm like, oh god, you know a delete, just delete, delete, 953 00:56:59.320 --> 00:57:00.719 delete delet. 954 00:57:00.880 --> 00:57:04.280 Well, you know, healthy dotes of skepticism and paranoia goes 955 00:57:04.320 --> 00:57:06.800 a long long way in this stuff. And you know, 956 00:57:06.960 --> 00:57:10.840 if they want you to pay upfront for training, product, 957 00:57:11.039 --> 00:57:13.400 something and then you're going to reimburse you almost a 958 00:57:13.440 --> 00:57:18.039 guaranteed scam. You know, if if the recruiter quote unquote 959 00:57:18.440 --> 00:57:20.199 wants you to pay up front, you know, I want 960 00:57:20.239 --> 00:57:24.480 to remind people, almost all legitimate recruiters get paid by 961 00:57:24.559 --> 00:57:27.280 the employer who wants to hire you when you're placed, 962 00:57:27.719 --> 00:57:29.559 and they have an incentive to help you get the 963 00:57:29.679 --> 00:57:33.280 largest salary possible because they're getting paid a percentage of 964 00:57:33.320 --> 00:57:37.559 your starting salary. So again, the FTC has a bunch 965 00:57:37.599 --> 00:57:41.679 of tips. The Federal Trade Commission FBI has information that's 966 00:57:41.719 --> 00:57:44.320 indeed page with the ten tips, and I'll wink all 967 00:57:44.360 --> 00:57:46.880 this stuff. So you know, if you are someone you 968 00:57:47.000 --> 00:57:49.880 know as looking for a job, your kids, your grandkids, 969 00:57:49.960 --> 00:57:53.239 your family, there are plenty of resources out there that 970 00:57:53.360 --> 00:57:56.119 will help arm them so that they can make smart decisions, 971 00:57:56.239 --> 00:58:00.480 because again, looking for jobs online, that's the way this works. 972 00:58:00.519 --> 00:58:00.679 Now. 973 00:58:02.599 --> 00:58:06.840 Obviously, good Land minds literally everywhere. 974 00:58:06.360 --> 00:58:10.079 Everywhere, everywhere, all right, but beware, folks, beware. 975 00:58:09.960 --> 00:58:12.880 Chinese Communist Party being helped out by Apple. Apparently we'll 976 00:58:12.920 --> 00:58:15.800 talk about that next with Dave had six two. But 977 00:58:15.880 --> 00:58:18.840 you have KRC detalk station. Dave Hatter's gonna tell us 978 00:58:18.840 --> 00:58:21.840 about the Chinese spyware app being promoted by Apple. What's 979 00:58:21.880 --> 00:58:23.800 the story on this one? I thought Apple was supposed 980 00:58:23.800 --> 00:58:25.320 to be one of the good guys out there, Dave. 981 00:58:25.880 --> 00:58:29.719 Well, Apple generally is much more privacy and security friendly 982 00:58:29.800 --> 00:58:32.880 than their competitors. And I'd just like to remind folks, 983 00:58:32.960 --> 00:58:35.320 you know, all these big tech companies have their issues, 984 00:58:35.800 --> 00:58:38.960 but when you look at Apple and Microsoft versus folks 985 00:58:39.119 --> 00:58:42.840 like Google, Facebook, et cetera, their whole business model really 986 00:58:42.920 --> 00:58:47.280 is different. Apple and Microsoft both sell you products. You know, 987 00:58:47.400 --> 00:58:51.639 Apple both hardware and software, Microsoft mostly software. And you 988 00:58:51.719 --> 00:58:54.239 have folks can argue with the Yeah, Google makes Pixel phones, 989 00:58:54.360 --> 00:58:57.400 the Android operating system, so they do have some products. 990 00:58:57.519 --> 00:59:00.519 Most of the money coming from Google is from your data, 991 00:59:00.679 --> 00:59:04.239 same as meta slash Facebook. Right, So I think this 992 00:59:04.440 --> 00:59:07.360 is an interesting take and I'm glad someone is raising 993 00:59:07.400 --> 00:59:10.760 the concern about this. It gets back to these Chinese 994 00:59:10.760 --> 00:59:13.280 apps you and I have talked about before. Namely TikTok 995 00:59:13.360 --> 00:59:16.920 for a long time and the privacy concerns and propaganda 996 00:59:17.880 --> 00:59:21.360 concerns around TikTok. But this guy is an attorney. It's 997 00:59:21.360 --> 00:59:23.400 the article is written by Joel Thayer, and it's in 998 00:59:23.480 --> 00:59:25.960 the Hill Again. I'll post the link. I encourage people 999 00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:28.719 to go read it for themselves. This guy apparently is 1000 00:59:28.760 --> 00:59:31.760 the president of the Digital Progress Institute institute and a 1001 00:59:31.840 --> 00:59:35.599 tech and telecom lawyer in DC, and he makes some 1002 00:59:35.760 --> 00:59:38.679 interesting points, really going back to the fact that at 1003 00:59:38.719 --> 00:59:41.039 the end of the day, if a company is based 1004 00:59:41.079 --> 00:59:43.639 out of China, it's controlled by the People's Republic of 1005 00:59:43.719 --> 00:59:46.960 China and the Chinese Communist Party, who have some very 1006 00:59:47.039 --> 00:59:52.559 onerous laws in general and specifically around data collection and privacy. 1007 00:59:53.079 --> 00:59:54.719 And he states in here. So I'm going to read 1008 00:59:54.719 --> 00:59:57.719 directly from the article. For instance, China's twenty fifteen National 1009 00:59:57.800 --> 01:00:01.800 Security Law compels locally employed China these nationals of American 1010 01:00:01.840 --> 01:00:05.280 companies to assist investigations that they expose operating elements of 1011 01:00:05.360 --> 01:00:09.280 American companies with citizens. China's twenty twenty one cyber Vulnerability 1012 01:00:09.360 --> 01:00:13.280 Reporting Law requires Chinese based companies to report security flaws 1013 01:00:13.320 --> 01:00:16.679 to the Chinese government. So they can quote exploit system 1014 01:00:16.760 --> 01:00:21.159 flaws before cyber vulnerabilities are publicly known unquote. And then 1015 01:00:21.239 --> 01:00:22.920 you know, he goes on with some other laws. You know, 1016 01:00:23.079 --> 01:00:26.199 twenty seventeen National Intelligence Law creates a legal obligation for 1017 01:00:26.280 --> 01:00:29.599 those entities to turnover data collected abroad and domestically to 1018 01:00:29.679 --> 01:00:33.960 the Chinese government, So that twenty twenty one cyber Vulnerability 1019 01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:37.880 Reporting Law, basically in Layman's term, says, if you, as 1020 01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:41.480 a Chinese national, become aware of a vulnerability and software, 1021 01:00:41.880 --> 01:00:44.079 you are required to report it to the Chinese government 1022 01:00:44.159 --> 01:00:46.679 so they can exploit it before this would be a 1023 01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:50.239 zero day exploit, before it can be fixed by the manufacturer. 1024 01:00:51.159 --> 01:00:54.320 That's essentially what that means. So his point, So his 1025 01:00:54.440 --> 01:00:56.679 point here is you have an app store, and this 1026 01:00:56.880 --> 01:00:59.039 is not exclusive to Apple. I think he put his 1027 01:00:59.480 --> 01:01:02.639 sights on Apple primarily because they are seen as more 1028 01:01:02.679 --> 01:01:05.840 privacy and security friendly. So when you look at it 1029 01:01:05.920 --> 01:01:08.559 through that lens, this is you know, even more problematic 1030 01:01:09.039 --> 01:01:11.679 than you know something like the Android store. But this 1031 01:01:11.760 --> 01:01:14.440 would have the same problems, right if the app originates 1032 01:01:14.840 --> 01:01:18.280 from a company controlled by a Chinese company or directly 1033 01:01:18.320 --> 01:01:22.039 from China, you can guarantee any and all data it collects. 1034 01:01:22.199 --> 01:01:24.960 And let me remind folks, go look at the Apple 1035 01:01:25.000 --> 01:01:27.840 app Store privacy label for TikTok or any app that 1036 01:01:28.320 --> 01:01:31.119 Temu right has recently come in the crosshairs. It's a 1037 01:01:31.320 --> 01:01:35.119 Chinese shopping app similar to Amazon right and for a 1038 01:01:35.159 --> 01:01:38.039 lot of these same problems. Look at the privacy label 1039 01:01:38.079 --> 01:01:40.400 which is required by Apple to be in their store and. 1040 01:01:40.440 --> 01:01:41.280 See what it collects. 1041 01:01:41.480 --> 01:01:44.760 It's astounding, and most of it is stuff they don't 1042 01:01:44.840 --> 01:01:47.719 need to provide the service they claim to provide. So, 1043 01:01:47.920 --> 01:01:50.519 you know, he points out in more detail later in here, 1044 01:01:51.000 --> 01:01:53.440 you know some of the issues with specific types of apps. 1045 01:01:53.480 --> 01:01:56.840 But the bottom line is if you're using an app 1046 01:01:57.000 --> 01:02:00.519 that's controlled by a Chinese company, they are collecting enormous 1047 01:02:00.519 --> 01:02:03.800 amounts of data about you and potentially using it as 1048 01:02:03.840 --> 01:02:09.559 a propaganda tool to push pro prc CCP narratives and 1049 01:02:09.880 --> 01:02:15.239 to push anti American, anti Western narratives, propaganda, spyware, etc. 1050 01:02:15.639 --> 01:02:19.079 So again, this is a theme that keeps coming up, right, 1051 01:02:19.199 --> 01:02:21.440 and there are many people who have now warned about this. 1052 01:02:22.039 --> 01:02:24.360 It's why we've seen the push for the TikTok band. 1053 01:02:24.840 --> 01:02:27.119 There are now people calling for bands on things like 1054 01:02:27.239 --> 01:02:31.559 Tamu again, I encourage people. There was a great article recently, 1055 01:02:32.119 --> 01:02:34.760 I can't remember the exact headline with something like Tamu 1056 01:02:34.920 --> 01:02:37.480 is a spyware app in your pocket, and you know 1057 01:02:37.519 --> 01:02:40.079 it goes into detail around this again, I'll link all 1058 01:02:40.159 --> 01:02:43.199 this stuff so people can get more information, share with 1059 01:02:43.280 --> 01:02:47.079 their family members who might be using these things. I 1060 01:02:47.280 --> 01:02:50.039 understand the convenience. I understand that it's nice to get 1061 01:02:50.079 --> 01:02:52.039 cheap goods that will fall apart the first time you 1062 01:02:52.159 --> 01:02:57.760 use them. But you got to understand the larger psio ops, 1063 01:02:57.960 --> 01:03:01.400 black ops, propaganda affects of these things. And even if 1064 01:03:01.679 --> 01:03:03.719 that isn't a concern to you, where you don't believe it, 1065 01:03:04.719 --> 01:03:08.360 all of your extremely sensitive data going to Chinese companies 1066 01:03:08.719 --> 01:03:11.480 who are controlled by the CCP and the PRC, who 1067 01:03:11.559 --> 01:03:15.360 are increasingly adversarial to all Western countries. Just look at 1068 01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:17.760 what's been going on in the Philippines recently with them 1069 01:03:17.880 --> 01:03:21.559 ramming Coast Guard and Philippine Coast Guard chips and so forth. 1070 01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:24.400 It's not good. There's nothing good that can come of 1071 01:03:24.480 --> 01:03:26.960 this for you using these apps. 1072 01:03:27.119 --> 01:03:30.679 Amen exclamation point interest I Dot Commerce find David and 1073 01:03:30.719 --> 01:03:32.519 his cru If you have a company, you have computers 1074 01:03:32.639 --> 01:03:35.159 you need interest I T Business Courier says they're the 1075 01:03:35.199 --> 01:03:37.880 best in the business.

My next guest, Greg Phillips, 1092 01:04:38.679 --> 01:04:41.440 you probably know and my listening audience is familiar with 1093 01:04:41.519 --> 01:04:45.239 the docu drama two Thousand Mules. He happened to have 1094 01:04:45.320 --> 01:04:48.440 been executive producer and co starred in that. But you 1095 01:04:48.559 --> 01:04:50.559 also know may not know him, because we're going to 1096 01:04:50.639 --> 01:04:56.679 talk about his company, ground Fusion AI, which apparently revolutionizes 1097 01:04:56.800 --> 01:05:00.880 target targeted political engagement. They have data on two hundred 1098 01:05:00.920 --> 01:05:06.480 and eleven million voters and like what billions of data points. 1099 01:05:06.519 --> 01:05:08.920 Welcome to the program, Greg Phillips. It's a pleasure to 1100 01:05:09.000 --> 01:05:09.639 have you on today. 1101 01:05:10.760 --> 01:05:12.000 I appreciate it so much. 1102 01:05:13.440 --> 01:05:17.199 You Okay, first off, you have you have data in 1103 01:05:17.360 --> 01:05:20.119 your in your website is ground fusion dot ai. My 1104 01:05:20.239 --> 01:05:23.039 listeners want to go there. It's it's it's mind boggling 1105 01:05:23.519 --> 01:05:29.400 how much information you have. Over one hundred billion would 1106 01:05:29.480 --> 01:05:33.840 be data elements and two hundred and eleven million voter 1107 01:05:34.079 --> 01:05:36.159 data information. Have I got that right? 1108 01:05:37.639 --> 01:05:37.840 Yeah? 1109 01:05:37.920 --> 01:05:38.440 You do. 1110 01:05:38.960 --> 01:05:42.199 We we really got tired of getting beat by the 1111 01:05:42.280 --> 01:05:44.960 other side because they've been doing things like this US 1112 01:05:45.079 --> 01:05:47.840 for all these years. Obama did it, everybody does it, 1113 01:05:49.280 --> 01:05:52.400 and so my partner Katherine Ingebrickt and I just decided, 1114 01:05:52.440 --> 01:05:54.199 you know what, we're going to build our own. So 1115 01:05:54.320 --> 01:05:58.559 we started collecting data aback years ago. We've got as 1116 01:05:59.079 --> 01:06:00.719 as you point out, we have two hundred and eleven 1117 01:06:00.760 --> 01:06:04.039 million registered voters in America. We have the entire country 1118 01:06:04.119 --> 01:06:08.239 geo coded. We have cell phones, we have email addresses, 1119 01:06:08.400 --> 01:06:10.239 we have consumer type data. 1120 01:06:10.320 --> 01:06:11.079 What do people like? 1121 01:06:11.199 --> 01:06:11.880 What do people do? 1122 01:06:12.719 --> 01:06:14.920 We have you know, we know if they're you know, 1123 01:06:15.000 --> 01:06:18.639 if they're pro gun, if they're pro you know, if 1124 01:06:18.679 --> 01:06:22.400 they're if they have a faith base. And and we're 1125 01:06:22.400 --> 01:06:24.159 able to not just put it all together and be 1126 01:06:24.199 --> 01:06:26.599 able to pull out saying everybody in Cincinnati that's over 1127 01:06:26.719 --> 01:06:31.440 sixty five and is widowed, that that's what that's what 1128 01:06:31.480 --> 01:06:34.159 it's called a target. What we have the ability to 1129 01:06:34.280 --> 01:06:36.239 do because not only do we have all the data, 1130 01:06:36.360 --> 01:06:41.800 but we have a very sophisticated analytics underpinning that we 1131 01:06:41.920 --> 01:06:43.840 can go in and do micro targeting. 1132 01:06:43.960 --> 01:06:46.760 So I could tell you everybody in Cincinnati that's. 1133 01:06:46.960 --> 01:06:50.079 Over sixty five and widowed and on a fixed income 1134 01:06:50.360 --> 01:06:53.519 and that likes the REDS and it does this and 1135 01:06:53.639 --> 01:06:55.480 does that, and we can take that out to forty 1136 01:06:55.599 --> 01:07:00.559 seven different data elements and do it. It's so we 1137 01:07:00.599 --> 01:07:02.840 could do it not just in Cincinnati, but all over 1138 01:07:02.920 --> 01:07:06.559 the country for anyone to fit that category. And then 1139 01:07:06.800 --> 01:07:08.800 we can send them a text, we can send them 1140 01:07:08.800 --> 01:07:13.360 an email, we can send their information out to our 1141 01:07:13.440 --> 01:07:15.639 volunteers to make calls, and. 1142 01:07:15.760 --> 01:07:18.960 So it's absolutely game changing. 1143 01:07:19.320 --> 01:07:21.679 In forty four years in this business, I've never not 1144 01:07:21.840 --> 01:07:24.239 only seen anything like it, I've certainly never had an 1145 01:07:24.280 --> 01:07:26.000 opportunity to use something like it. 1146 01:07:26.440 --> 01:07:28.840 And it absolutely has change in the game for us 1147 01:07:28.880 --> 01:07:29.239 this year. 1148 01:07:29.480 --> 01:07:31.719 Well, the context in which I can see this is 1149 01:07:31.800 --> 01:07:34.159 most valuable, and you're talking with someone who is in 1150 01:07:34.239 --> 01:07:37.440 no way, shape or form anything related to a tech guy. 1151 01:07:37.880 --> 01:07:40.639 I mean, I try to avoid it at all costs, 1152 01:07:40.719 --> 01:07:44.599 be quite candid with you. But in the old days, 1153 01:07:44.639 --> 01:07:48.199 I would say you had to blanket, like with a 1154 01:07:48.320 --> 01:07:51.079 mail or you just send it to literally every address 1155 01:07:51.159 --> 01:07:53.039 and hope that you know, you made some good with 1156 01:07:53.159 --> 01:07:56.840 somebody who was maybe capable of being influenced and undecided voter. 1157 01:07:57.280 --> 01:07:59.639 But it had to go out to all the addresses. Now, 1158 01:07:59.719 --> 01:08:03.639 with your ground Fusion AI platform, it seems to me 1159 01:08:03.880 --> 01:08:07.719 that by doing this data analytics, you can find the 1160 01:08:07.880 --> 01:08:11.199 voters that appear to be the ones who are independent, 1161 01:08:11.280 --> 01:08:15.119 who maybe are swing voters, and so you could you 1162 01:08:15.159 --> 01:08:17.399 could go after the ones. You know that guy over 1163 01:08:17.439 --> 01:08:20.479 there is a diehard Republicans voted Republican for the last 1164 01:08:20.800 --> 01:08:23.560 ten twelve fourteen elections. And that guy over there is 1165 01:08:23.600 --> 01:08:26.680 a diehard Democrat. You know what organizations he supports and 1166 01:08:26.720 --> 01:08:29.680 belongs to. He's never going to be convinced. But here's 1167 01:08:29.760 --> 01:08:31.880 a big group of people you might be able to 1168 01:08:32.000 --> 01:08:35.199 influence with some sort of targeted advertisings. If I got 1169 01:08:35.239 --> 01:08:37.600 that down sort of right, Yeah, you. 1170 01:08:37.680 --> 01:08:38.760 Got it exactly right. 1171 01:08:38.880 --> 01:08:42.520 And even better than that, we can create targeted messages 1172 01:08:42.720 --> 01:08:45.479 at each one of those individual groups. So that group 1173 01:08:45.560 --> 01:08:49.119 that I described earlier, we may we may send a look, 1174 01:08:49.239 --> 01:08:55.079 she's destroying us with their inflationary policies. A younger group, 1175 01:08:55.600 --> 01:08:59.079 we may send out something completely different that is targeted 1176 01:08:59.159 --> 01:09:01.439 at young people that just says, look, the reason you 1177 01:09:01.600 --> 01:09:03.359 can't buy a house and you'll never be able to 1178 01:09:03.399 --> 01:09:06.199 buy a house is Kamala Harris. And so we can 1179 01:09:06.439 --> 01:09:11.359 take those kind of cohorts and blend them and get 1180 01:09:11.399 --> 01:09:14.159 them available, make them available to campaigns, but not just 1181 01:09:14.239 --> 01:09:17.560 make them available, but deliver those messages. That's sort of 1182 01:09:17.640 --> 01:09:20.279 on the get out the vote side and the political side. 1183 01:09:20.439 --> 01:09:23.399 On the other side. Katherine Ingelbrack, my partner who runs 1184 01:09:23.439 --> 01:09:24.239 a srip called True of. 1185 01:09:24.199 --> 01:09:27.279 The Vote, who was also in the movie with Ye, Yeah, 1186 01:09:28.399 --> 01:09:31.920 we are able to not just do what we're doing 1187 01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:34.439 on the political side, but we can take this data 1188 01:09:34.800 --> 01:09:38.279 and do it on the election integrity side. So we 1189 01:09:38.479 --> 01:09:41.119 have built apps on top of it so groups like 1190 01:09:41.239 --> 01:09:43.359 Catherines can go use. We have an app called IV 1191 01:09:43.560 --> 01:09:47.439 three IV three dot us. Katherine and her team just 1192 01:09:47.640 --> 01:09:52.399 completed a project to clean a million ineligible voters off 1193 01:09:52.439 --> 01:09:54.399 of the roles across the United States. 1194 01:09:54.640 --> 01:09:57.319 And the most amazing project I've ever seen. 1195 01:09:58.439 --> 01:10:01.800 And again it's just another way to use the quality 1196 01:10:01.920 --> 01:10:04.359 data and the capability we have to be able to 1197 01:10:04.439 --> 01:10:06.159 deliver these answers in real time. 1198 01:10:06.800 --> 01:10:10.520 So in US and she you, we're doing the work 1199 01:10:10.600 --> 01:10:12.359 of the Secretary of State's office. 1200 01:10:14.439 --> 01:10:18.439 Yeah, exactly, and in fact it was her volunteers that 1201 01:10:18.520 --> 01:10:20.760 were doing it. So we created an app that would 1202 01:10:20.760 --> 01:10:23.760 allow somebody to sit it home on their phone. We'd 1203 01:10:23.800 --> 01:10:25.520 have to enroll them and get them all set up 1204 01:10:25.560 --> 01:10:28.920 in their county, but once they were set up in 1205 01:10:29.039 --> 01:10:33.840 our system, we would serve them record by record by record. 1206 01:10:33.680 --> 01:10:34.199 Just in a row. 1207 01:10:34.319 --> 01:10:36.039 They could do one or they could do one hundred 1208 01:10:36.039 --> 01:10:37.920 and one. We had a few people do over ten 1209 01:10:38.079 --> 01:10:41.840 thousand challenges in their county and we would serve up 1210 01:10:41.880 --> 01:10:44.640 the information that we had said, Okay, this person doesn't 1211 01:10:44.680 --> 01:10:46.720 live here anymore, this person lives in Georgia and they 1212 01:10:46.840 --> 01:10:49.359 voted in Georgia in twenty twenty two. 1213 01:10:49.439 --> 01:10:50.760 They don't need to be on the rolls. 1214 01:10:51.159 --> 01:10:54.840 And so we would create the mechanism for them to 1215 01:10:54.960 --> 01:10:57.600 be able to challenge that person who had already moved 1216 01:10:57.960 --> 01:10:59.800 and send it along to the county and or to 1217 01:10:59.840 --> 01:11:01.960 say copious states and in what state they were in. 1218 01:11:02.520 --> 01:11:04.479 I think I think there are thirty one hundred or 1219 01:11:04.520 --> 01:11:08.119 so counties in the United States, and we cleaned ineligible 1220 01:11:08.239 --> 01:11:14.680 voters off of off of eighteen hundred counties, eighteen hundred counties, 1221 01:11:15.840 --> 01:11:16.960 more than a million people. 1222 01:11:17.640 --> 01:11:18.680 It was really really. 1223 01:11:18.600 --> 01:11:21.560 Exciting and and you know, part of it is just 1224 01:11:21.720 --> 01:11:25.399 an overall effort to give people the tools. 1225 01:11:25.560 --> 01:11:28.000 People in America are awake now. 1226 01:11:28.399 --> 01:11:31.239 They want to help, and so if you give them 1227 01:11:31.279 --> 01:11:33.560 an opportunity to get out and help, you know, some 1228 01:11:33.680 --> 01:11:35.479 people might want to work on their phone, maybe a 1229 01:11:35.520 --> 01:11:39.479 little a little introverted. We have we have other apps 1230 01:11:39.560 --> 01:11:41.840 that plug into the database that allow people to go 1231 01:11:41.920 --> 01:11:44.039 out and do that door knocking that I was talking about. 1232 01:11:44.399 --> 01:11:46.800 And as you point out, instead of knocking on every 1233 01:11:46.840 --> 01:11:49.119 single door in the neighborhood. Well, you really on the 1234 01:11:49.199 --> 01:11:52.159 need to knock on these twenty doors, and so give 1235 01:11:52.279 --> 01:11:55.119 them that, give them the maps, give them everything that 1236 01:11:55.239 --> 01:11:58.439 they need. We have a little survey capability inside of 1237 01:11:58.560 --> 01:12:01.600 the system so that we can create those surveys when 1238 01:12:01.600 --> 01:12:03.720 they go knock on the door. Say hey, Greg Phillips 1239 01:12:03.800 --> 01:12:06.439 is I'm working with Greg Phillips. He's running for school board. 1240 01:12:07.560 --> 01:12:09.199 You know, have you heard of him? 1241 01:12:09.359 --> 01:12:09.600 Yes? 1242 01:12:09.720 --> 01:12:12.840 Okay, mark that on the phone, and you know, would 1243 01:12:12.880 --> 01:12:15.600 you consider voting for him if you knew that, you 1244 01:12:15.680 --> 01:12:18.079 know that he supported you know this, this and this, 1245 01:12:18.319 --> 01:12:21.880 and so having that is great, and having those answers 1246 01:12:22.000 --> 01:12:24.840 is great. But now we can take that and put 1247 01:12:24.920 --> 01:12:26.359 that back into the system. 1248 01:12:26.439 --> 01:12:29.640 And so then when they're when they're wanting to send 1249 01:12:29.680 --> 01:12:32.239 out messages to people who answer yes to all three 1250 01:12:32.279 --> 01:12:34.920 of those questions and five of those questions, they simply 1251 01:12:35.000 --> 01:12:37.479 just hit a button and it's out the door and 1252 01:12:37.600 --> 01:12:41.159 we're contacting them in real time with this message. 1253 01:12:41.399 --> 01:12:44.640 Absolutely amazing, it's just yeah, it's it's it's true. 1254 01:12:44.640 --> 01:12:45.920 It's truly game changing. 1255 01:12:46.159 --> 01:12:50.920 And now I speak with Americans for Prosperity regularly on 1256 01:12:51.000 --> 01:12:53.880 the Morning show, and they have an entity AFP action 1257 01:12:54.079 --> 01:12:57.359 dot com and their job is to get people my listeners, 1258 01:12:57.359 --> 01:13:00.119 anybody who wants to help out to become doorknockers to 1259 01:13:00.119 --> 01:13:04.159 spread the information. Would an organization like AFP action contact 1260 01:13:04.279 --> 01:13:07.199 you so they know which doors to knock on? I mean, 1261 01:13:07.279 --> 01:13:08.920 are they doing I don't know if you're familiar with 1262 01:13:08.960 --> 01:13:11.279 the American for Prosperity, but it seems to me like 1263 01:13:11.439 --> 01:13:14.479 that's the best possible place to go is your organization 1264 01:13:14.680 --> 01:13:17.159 because you have all these data points, they want to 1265 01:13:17.199 --> 01:13:19.479 do the door knocking work. You're not going out knocking 1266 01:13:19.520 --> 01:13:21.680 on doors gregularly, so I presume that's not the goal 1267 01:13:21.720 --> 01:13:24.640 of ground fusion, but it's to provide the opportunity for 1268 01:13:24.760 --> 01:13:30.000 that targeted door knocking or targeted messaging. So any organization 1269 01:13:30.159 --> 01:13:33.239 out there like AFP would be working with you, I imagine. 1270 01:13:33.760 --> 01:13:34.720 Yeah, they are. 1271 01:13:35.079 --> 01:13:38.359 And while AFP in particular, we have an end opportunity 1272 01:13:38.399 --> 01:13:40.279 to speak with them. We have groups all over the 1273 01:13:40.359 --> 01:13:43.680 country that we are providing now the data to or 1274 01:13:43.760 --> 01:13:46.520 providing the tools. And the best thing about it is 1275 01:13:46.640 --> 01:13:49.760 because some of these people, including AFP by the way, 1276 01:13:50.119 --> 01:13:53.000 have some of their own tools, we can just give 1277 01:13:53.079 --> 01:13:55.960 them the data and they can run it through their tools. 1278 01:13:56.119 --> 01:13:57.079 Ours happens to be. 1279 01:13:57.279 --> 01:14:00.239 We built our own mapping system because we at one 1280 01:14:00.319 --> 01:14:02.800 Tom after Bly on Google or anybody else. So we've 1281 01:14:03.000 --> 01:14:05.960 we've done a lot of things in ours that are interesting, 1282 01:14:06.079 --> 01:14:08.800 but again we're not We're not interested in, you know, 1283 01:14:08.960 --> 01:14:10.680 fame or fortune or anything else in this. 1284 01:14:10.840 --> 01:14:12.720 We want to work with as many groups as we can. 1285 01:14:13.560 --> 01:14:16.640 Catherine's working with Moms to Liberty on an election integrity 1286 01:14:16.680 --> 01:14:21.479 project right now. Around the United States. We're doing individual 1287 01:14:21.600 --> 01:14:22.880 state based projects. 1288 01:14:22.960 --> 01:14:23.600 We even have a. 1289 01:14:23.640 --> 01:14:28.399 Project called Community Data Grants where that guy was talking 1290 01:14:28.439 --> 01:14:31.399 to you maybe running for school board. Uh, that example 1291 01:14:31.640 --> 01:14:35.119 I gave earlier, Well, what what what if it wasn't me? 1292 01:14:35.239 --> 01:14:37.319 What if it was somebody else? The hardest part about 1293 01:14:37.399 --> 01:14:39.439 running down ballot is a lot of these people have 1294 01:14:39.560 --> 01:14:41.880 never run before. They don't have data, they don't have tools, 1295 01:14:41.880 --> 01:14:43.600 they don't know who the FP is, they don't they 1296 01:14:43.680 --> 01:14:48.039 can't do anything right. We created a mechanism to get 1297 01:14:48.439 --> 01:14:52.560 those down ballot races that they're voters, the voters that 1298 01:14:52.680 --> 01:14:56.039 fit their needs and their profiles, and just give it 1299 01:14:56.119 --> 01:14:57.880 to them because I'll tell you what if we moved 1300 01:14:57.920 --> 01:15:00.880 the needle down ballot Let's say we a thousand races 1301 01:15:00.920 --> 01:15:03.000 around the country, which we're close to it to being 1302 01:15:03.279 --> 01:15:06.800 at right now, a thousand down ballot races, and we 1303 01:15:06.960 --> 01:15:09.960 can change just one hundred, one hundred, or put one 1304 01:15:10.039 --> 01:15:14.600 hundred ballots on our side of the scoreboard for those 1305 01:15:14.720 --> 01:15:15.640 hundred thousand people. 1306 01:15:16.640 --> 01:15:18.000 If you don't think that's going to move. 1307 01:15:17.920 --> 01:15:21.039 The needle on the up ballot side, the presidential side, 1308 01:15:21.039 --> 01:15:24.239 oh yeah, or the Senate side, or you know, you 1309 01:15:24.319 --> 01:15:26.880 guys have some really important races in Alia this year 1310 01:15:27.680 --> 01:15:30.960 in Kentucky, we're doing some amazing work, and pretty much 1311 01:15:31.199 --> 01:15:36.079 throughout your listening areas, really there's a way to make 1312 01:15:36.159 --> 01:15:38.880 this benefit not just for the president, not just for 1313 01:15:39.000 --> 01:15:42.720 these guys ladies running for governors or senators or Congress 1314 01:15:42.800 --> 01:15:46.239 or whatever they're doing, but that down ballot stuff is 1315 01:15:46.359 --> 01:15:48.680 going to move the needle and make a difference in 1316 01:15:48.760 --> 01:15:51.760 a way that we have never seen on our side 1317 01:15:52.079 --> 01:15:53.600 in all of my life. 1318 01:15:53.680 --> 01:15:57.359 Done no, without question. And going back to down ball races, 1319 01:15:57.439 --> 01:15:59.439 usually they're very low funded and not a whole lot 1320 01:15:59.439 --> 01:16:02.880 of people making massive campaign contributions to them. Folks can 1321 01:16:02.920 --> 01:16:05.319 barely afford to get yard signs out and pay for those, 1322 01:16:05.439 --> 01:16:08.840 let alone come up with critical breakdown analysis that you're 1323 01:16:08.880 --> 01:16:14.199 doing at Ground Fusion. It's just wow. I agree with you. 1324 01:16:14.319 --> 01:16:18.119 This sounds truly truly game changing, and you do work. 1325 01:16:18.159 --> 01:16:22.760 I mean, the front page of your website specifically mentioned 1326 01:16:22.960 --> 01:16:27.000 conservative campaign you're working for and in the interest of 1327 01:16:27.199 --> 01:16:30.079 conservative individuals and organizations. It sounds. 1328 01:16:31.279 --> 01:16:31.479 Yeah. 1329 01:16:31.600 --> 01:16:35.199 We've spent a lot of time really segmenting and figuring 1330 01:16:35.239 --> 01:16:37.239 out sort of who we wanted to go with and 1331 01:16:37.359 --> 01:16:40.600 how we wanted to do this, and it's the reason 1332 01:16:40.720 --> 01:16:43.840 that we decided to move to the community data grants. 1333 01:16:44.800 --> 01:16:47.399 You know, working on the presidential race and working in 1334 01:16:47.479 --> 01:16:52.039 these senate races and statewide races broadly all the way 1335 01:16:52.079 --> 01:16:53.279 down to Congress. 1336 01:16:52.960 --> 01:16:54.760 Is pretty easy, right. I mean, we can go out 1337 01:16:54.800 --> 01:16:56.880 and calling people. We know a lot of folks have 1338 01:16:57.000 --> 01:16:58.640 been in this business a long time, and we can 1339 01:16:58.680 --> 01:16:59.680 get those campaigns. 1340 01:17:00.680 --> 01:17:03.680 But by far the most gratifying work that we're doing 1341 01:17:03.800 --> 01:17:06.279 right now, and the most meaningful work, in my opinion, 1342 01:17:06.399 --> 01:17:08.199 is through these community beta grants. 1343 01:17:08.680 --> 01:17:09.800 Many of these races. 1344 01:17:09.600 --> 01:17:13.000 Are nonpartisan, right, if you've got a school board races 1345 01:17:13.000 --> 01:17:14.720 are not, let's or not they could be able to 1346 01:17:14.840 --> 01:17:17.800 in many states, you can't tell those Republicans or Democrats, 1347 01:17:17.840 --> 01:17:20.399 and so you need to know who those people are. 1348 01:17:20.840 --> 01:17:24.000 And so going out and doing that level of work 1349 01:17:24.159 --> 01:17:26.720 figuring out who are the people we need to be 1350 01:17:26.840 --> 01:17:30.039 supporting across the across the state. We're doing a project 1351 01:17:30.079 --> 01:17:34.600 down in Alabama with the chairman or well with them, 1352 01:17:34.680 --> 01:17:37.079 but if they helped us target into the district and 1353 01:17:37.159 --> 01:17:40.399 chairman of the Alabama GOP, I mean John Wall John 1354 01:17:40.439 --> 01:17:42.399 and I got together and figured out I think it's 1355 01:17:42.479 --> 01:17:46.319 sixty eight different races down ballot, all of them nothing 1356 01:17:46.399 --> 01:17:50.680 above say a county level election. We found sixty eight 1357 01:17:50.720 --> 01:17:52.720 of them in Alabama that we believed that if we 1358 01:17:52.840 --> 01:17:54.880 were all these up, it can turn it can it 1359 01:17:54.960 --> 01:17:59.159 can flip at least one congressional district from A from 1360 01:17:59.239 --> 01:18:02.359 A from d Are and so. And even though it's 1361 01:18:02.439 --> 01:18:05.319 not partisan, we were able to use our data to 1362 01:18:05.479 --> 01:18:09.439 say there's no way that this district, uh, you know, 1363 01:18:09.600 --> 01:18:12.720 should this county should be represented by people that are 1364 01:18:13.079 --> 01:18:15.520 you know, have all of these vote policies right, these 1365 01:18:15.600 --> 01:18:19.039 ideas on kids and things which should and shouldn't be 1366 01:18:19.119 --> 01:18:23.039 teaching them and should should be showing them, and so 1367 01:18:23.680 --> 01:18:26.520 to go then into that county. We're across that that 1368 01:18:26.720 --> 01:18:29.840 those down ballot races in the eight congressional district and 1369 01:18:30.000 --> 01:18:34.720 find sixty races that that all we asked them to 1370 01:18:34.800 --> 01:18:38.960 do is look, just use our data to to your right, 1371 01:18:39.119 --> 01:18:43.319 because we already know that they support the type or 1372 01:18:43.399 --> 01:18:45.039 that they're going to be supported by the type of 1373 01:18:45.079 --> 01:18:46.880 people that would vote. 1374 01:18:46.680 --> 01:18:49.520 For our Uh you know who who the you know 1375 01:18:49.880 --> 01:18:50.840 ballot races are? 1376 01:18:51.039 --> 01:18:54.640 Yeah, help me help you here.

Guy inspired me enough to get on 1453 01:23:13.640 --> 01:23:15.279 his website and get him a donation. 1454 01:23:15.399 --> 01:23:15.960 I would. 1455 01:23:17.359 --> 01:23:22.640 Encourage everybody five bucks, ten bucks, let's get rid of 1456 01:23:22.720 --> 01:23:25.399 Shared Brown. But more importantly, I was thinking about what 1457 01:23:25.479 --> 01:23:27.560 he was saying, as far as you can't vote Trump 1458 01:23:28.279 --> 01:23:32.079 and vote Shared Brown, and you know we must have 1459 01:23:32.199 --> 01:23:34.920 in Ohio. The numbers would suggest that we have this 1460 01:23:35.199 --> 01:23:38.760 nasty habit of voting Republican at the top of the 1461 01:23:38.840 --> 01:23:42.079 ticket and then voting Shared Brown. And this has been 1462 01:23:42.159 --> 01:23:44.680 going on. He's been in office now for seventeen years. 1463 01:23:45.520 --> 01:23:50.119 So he talked about how critical Northeast Ohio is. I 1464 01:23:50.199 --> 01:23:52.159 want people to think about this, the people who may 1465 01:23:52.239 --> 01:23:54.840 vote for Trump and then vote for Shared Brown. We 1466 01:23:55.000 --> 01:23:58.000 need to get rid of Chuck Schumer as Senate majority leader. 1467 01:23:58.159 --> 01:24:00.520 We need to get control of the Senate back. If 1468 01:24:00.560 --> 01:24:02.960 you're going to vote Trump and then vote Shared Brown, 1469 01:24:03.479 --> 01:24:05.880 you're going to get the least effective lame duck version 1470 01:24:05.960 --> 01:24:09.640 of Donald Trump, because Chuck Schumer, You're going to get 1471 01:24:09.720 --> 01:24:13.920 New York values, California values inflicted on Ohio once again. 1472 01:24:14.600 --> 01:24:17.039 They have a plan already in a playbook drawn up 1473 01:24:17.439 --> 01:24:20.119 for how they can keep him in court, keep him 1474 01:24:20.159 --> 01:24:23.359 in impeachment. We've already seen it. So if you think 1475 01:24:23.439 --> 01:24:25.840 that you're going to vote for the person, which I 1476 01:24:26.000 --> 01:24:29.279 understand that, but Shared Brown must be a damn good 1477 01:24:29.359 --> 01:24:33.359 liar for a liberal Democrat senator to have a seventeen 1478 01:24:33.479 --> 01:24:36.600 year career in the Senate. And my hope and prayer 1479 01:24:36.760 --> 01:24:39.720 is that people out there who would vote for a 1480 01:24:40.039 --> 01:24:45.079 Republican president, Republican governor and the Democrat senator, wake up. 1481 01:24:45.279 --> 01:24:49.560 You are wasting your votes. Your votes are counteracting each other. 1482 01:24:49.960 --> 01:24:53.920 If you want the most efficient form of Donald Trump, 1483 01:24:54.000 --> 01:24:58.119 the most effective form, vote for Bernie Marino and then 1484 01:24:58.199 --> 01:25:01.199 that gives the Senate back to the Republicans. Trump can 1485 01:25:01.279 --> 01:25:03.920 actually do something avoid all this impeacement maloney. 1486 01:25:04.000 --> 01:25:04.920 They're going to do it again. 1487 01:25:05.760 --> 01:25:08.199 So just wanted to kind of say, hey, you're not 1488 01:25:08.359 --> 01:25:11.199 just voting against Sharon Brown, You're also voting against Chuck Schumer, 1489 01:25:11.279 --> 01:25:13.600 and all the ideas has great ideas coming out of 1490 01:25:14.359 --> 01:25:15.520 liberal states like New. 1491 01:25:15.479 --> 01:25:16.720 York to get inflicted on us. 1492 01:25:17.079 --> 01:25:17.960 That's all I wanted to say. 1493 01:25:18.039 --> 01:25:20.640 Brian Well stated, Jay, I'm glad you called in and 1494 01:25:20.760 --> 01:25:22.960 offered your thoughts on that, because you are right. You 1495 01:25:23.119 --> 01:25:24.720 knocked it out of the park on that, and it 1496 01:25:24.840 --> 01:25:27.960 is mind boggling, and it will be even more mind 1497 01:25:28.000 --> 01:25:31.079 boggling this year if Sharon Brown also is reelected and 1498 01:25:31.159 --> 01:25:33.680 Donald Trump still takes the state of Ohio. I find 1499 01:25:33.720 --> 01:25:37.840 that outcome to be absolutely baffling. Excellent point, Jay, appreciate it. 1500 01:25:37.960 --> 01:25:40.039 Five one three, seven four nine fifty, five hundred, eight 1501 01:25:40.119 --> 01:25:42.319 hundred and eight two three talk go with pound five 1502 01:25:42.439 --> 01:25:45.159 fifty on AT and T phones. By the way, Jay, 1503 01:25:45.319 --> 01:25:47.840 Maureen loves your calls. Just got an instant message from her. 1504 01:25:48.640 --> 01:25:51.840 I do to Maureen seven forty two here at fifty 1505 01:25:51.840 --> 01:25:57.319 five KERCIT talk station. Happy Friday to number here if 1506 01:25:57.359 --> 01:26:00.399 you'd like to call five one three, seven one hundred, 1507 01:26:00.439 --> 01:26:03.000 eight hundred and eighty two to three talk found five 1508 01:26:03.039 --> 01:26:04.800 fifty on AT and G phones. Got a couple of 1509 01:26:04.880 --> 01:26:06.880 things real quick. I guess Chuckie Schimmer said the quiet 1510 01:26:06.920 --> 01:26:08.760 part out loud, and he was dead serious about it. 1511 01:26:08.840 --> 01:26:11.479 Our ultimate goal is to help the dreamers, but also 1512 01:26:11.640 --> 01:26:15.239 create a path to citizenship for all eleven million or 1513 01:26:15.279 --> 01:26:23.359 however many undocumented immigrants are here. Well, there you have it. 1514 01:26:23.920 --> 01:26:27.720 I would call that statement unequivocal. But what of the 1515 01:26:27.920 --> 01:26:29.520 two million or so got aways one of the folks 1516 01:26:29.520 --> 01:26:31.239 a little bit about the illegal immigrants are on the 1517 01:26:31.359 --> 01:26:33.439 terrorists watch list that they keep letting out. What about 1518 01:26:33.439 --> 01:26:36.640 the gang members? If he wants to, you know, give 1519 01:26:36.680 --> 01:26:40.000 citizenship to all eleven million or however many million there 1520 01:26:40.039 --> 01:26:42.079 are here, then that has to include the people in 1521 01:26:42.359 --> 01:26:45.000 the in these gangs that we know are coming into 1522 01:26:45.039 --> 01:26:52.119 our country, well documented, even more so well documented of late, 1523 01:26:52.199 --> 01:26:54.960 because we've got you know, we now reports of use 1524 01:26:55.399 --> 01:26:59.960 these gangs, including that that that trend d Arragua gang 1525 01:27:00.239 --> 01:27:05.079 that took over the Aurora suburbs since other sanctuary city 1526 01:27:05.720 --> 01:27:10.119 housing units in the light. We got this Texas based 1527 01:27:10.159 --> 01:27:14.600 oil gas company talking about well criminal organized criminal activity 1528 01:27:14.640 --> 01:27:18.800 including violent crimes and gang activity and oil field thefts 1529 01:27:18.840 --> 01:27:23.840 around the West Texas WTX operational areas. Frightening stuff there, 1530 01:27:26.720 --> 01:27:28.960 and we have efforts, at least by Senator Rick Scott 1531 01:27:29.000 --> 01:27:32.039 of Florida. He was speaking with reporters at a Republican 1532 01:27:32.119 --> 01:27:37.920 Jewish Coalition leadership meeting just the other day. He said, 1533 01:27:37.920 --> 01:27:41.479 a Senate leader, majority leader or majority leader Chuck Schumer 1534 01:27:41.680 --> 01:27:45.159 refuses to allow a vote on a bill requiring proof 1535 01:27:45.319 --> 01:27:49.319 of citizenship to vote in US elections, and the government 1536 01:27:49.359 --> 01:27:52.880 shuts down as a consequence, then it's on Chuck Schumer's shoulders, 1537 01:27:54.319 --> 01:27:57.359 And of course was referring to the SAVE Act Safeguard 1538 01:27:57.399 --> 01:28:01.800 American Voter Eligibility Act, requiring individual to provide documentary proof 1539 01:28:01.880 --> 01:28:04.199 of US citizenship in order to register to vote in 1540 01:28:04.239 --> 01:28:09.760 federal elections. Mike Johnson, House Speaker considering attaching the Save 1541 01:28:09.880 --> 01:28:14.279 Act to a stopgap spending measure that would have to 1542 01:28:14.319 --> 01:28:17.880 be signed in law by September thirtieth in order for 1543 01:28:17.920 --> 01:28:20.239 the federal government to remain open. Now you know how 1544 01:28:20.319 --> 01:28:23.000 I feel about stopgams spending measures. It's just like you know, 1545 01:28:23.119 --> 01:28:26.319 kicking the can down the road. Usually kicking the can 1546 01:28:26.399 --> 01:28:28.479 down the road with some extra stuff and things going 1547 01:28:28.520 --> 01:28:30.520 along with it. But if it includes the Save Act, 1548 01:28:30.520 --> 01:28:34.760 it'll be slightly more palatable, I suppose, asked whether there 1549 01:28:34.840 --> 01:28:37.800 was some risk to Republicans of a government shutdown ahead 1550 01:28:37.840 --> 01:28:42.279 of the presidential elections. Meaning this specific reason, Scott suggested 1551 01:28:42.319 --> 01:28:44.920 if Schumer allow to shut down over non citizens voting, 1552 01:28:44.960 --> 01:28:47.439 then Democrats would be the ones who would suffer. They'd 1553 01:28:47.479 --> 01:28:51.399 have to answer to the everyone else. Why specifically did 1554 01:28:51.560 --> 01:28:55.319 you not sign this into law? Why specifically did you 1555 01:28:55.399 --> 01:28:58.479 refuse to allow a vote on the Save Act? Why 1556 01:28:58.560 --> 01:29:02.199 will you refusing to go on record in the Republicans' 1557 01:29:02.239 --> 01:29:09.079 efforts to stop illegal immigrants from voting? Makes a good question, 1558 01:29:09.279 --> 01:29:13.720 doesn't it? And you can't go pointing it like races 1559 01:29:13.840 --> 01:29:17.560 through xenophobic or whatever. You must be a US citizen 1560 01:29:17.680 --> 01:29:20.279 to vote in a federal election already, so it seems 1561 01:29:20.279 --> 01:29:23.760 to me that the Save Act is unnecessary. But because 1562 01:29:23.840 --> 01:29:26.600 various state laws are different, the question remains is one 1563 01:29:26.720 --> 01:29:31.560 size fits all. This federal law governing federal elections, which 1564 01:29:31.600 --> 01:29:36.800 would require you to provide documentation of your proof of citizenship, 1565 01:29:37.359 --> 01:29:41.479 doesn't seem too owners from my perspective, And who would 1566 01:29:41.479 --> 01:29:46.439 be against that? Of course, ask that requestion rhetorically. Anybody 1567 01:29:46.439 --> 01:29:48.439 who wants to try to cheat would be against that. 1568 01:29:48.520 --> 01:29:51.680 Anyone who wants illegal immigrants to vote even though they're 1569 01:29:51.720 --> 01:29:54.680 not lawfully allowed to do it would be against it. 1570 01:29:54.840 --> 01:29:56.840 So I want to see hands raised. I want to 1571 01:29:56.880 --> 01:30:01.000 see yay and nay on this specific provision. And I 1572 01:30:01.079 --> 01:30:03.880 hope the federal government doesn't have to shut down because 1573 01:30:04.119 --> 01:30:08.479 the Save Act passes some picty tube about cars de 1574 01:30:08.600 --> 01:30:11.920 talk station after the top of the our News Spirit 1575 01:30:12.279 --> 01:30:15.920 of a True Patriot, the Inspiring Story Retired Captain Douglas 1576 01:30:16.199 --> 01:30:18.880 Jay Ernst, and then at eight thirty Fred Galvin's book 1577 01:30:19.560 --> 01:30:22.119 A Few Bad Men, The True story of the US 1578 01:30:22.199 --> 01:30:26.640 Marines ambushed in Afghanistan and betrayed in America. No further doo, 1579 01:30:26.680 --> 01:30:27.840 let's go to the phones. Got a couple of clos 1580 01:30:27.880 --> 01:30:29.880 We're gonna start with Jeff. Jeff, thanks for calling this morning. 1581 01:30:29.920 --> 01:30:33.479 Happy Friday, Good morning, sir. 1582 01:30:33.880 --> 01:30:36.960 I think you were way, way, way too kind regarding 1583 01:30:37.039 --> 01:30:41.199 your assessment of folks like Shared Brown and Chuck Schumer. 1584 01:30:42.239 --> 01:30:49.119 This is beyond a gentleman's difference of opinion regarding policy. Okay, 1585 01:30:50.279 --> 01:30:54.000 if you take everything that these people have done, they're 1586 01:30:54.039 --> 01:30:58.520 an accessory to murder. In my opinion, they're they're definitely 1587 01:30:58.640 --> 01:31:01.880 in a voter for I mean, you can go down 1588 01:31:01.960 --> 01:31:03.760 the list you have a lot of other people that 1589 01:31:03.880 --> 01:31:05.720 want to talk to you, so I'll leave it at that. 1590 01:31:06.640 --> 01:31:08.960 This is not a difference of opinion. The only thing 1591 01:31:09.079 --> 01:31:13.000 these people care about is the acquisition and maintenance of 1592 01:31:13.359 --> 01:31:16.600 power and control. They're stinking communists. 1593 01:31:17.479 --> 01:31:17.760 Thank you. 1594 01:31:18.079 --> 01:31:22.560 You didn't call looking for an argument, man, And there's 1595 01:31:22.600 --> 01:31:24.560 only so many points you can get in at any 1596 01:31:24.640 --> 01:31:27.399 given time. I think collectively, I try to get that 1597 01:31:27.680 --> 01:31:31.479 general message across throughout the show, throughout the week, but 1598 01:31:31.880 --> 01:31:33.159 comes a bits and start. 1599 01:31:35.399 --> 01:31:38.800 Yeah, one more thing real quick. I wish these people 1600 01:31:39.000 --> 01:31:42.800 had the opportunity to take care of the patients that 1601 01:31:42.960 --> 01:31:45.239 I did when I was on active duty. I mean 1602 01:31:45.399 --> 01:31:49.560 real heroes, gentlemen. That was on the hornet when Doolittle 1603 01:31:49.640 --> 01:31:54.800 bomb Tokyo. I can go down the line. These politicians 1604 01:31:54.840 --> 01:31:58.039 aren't worthy to shine their shoes. And that was being 1605 01:31:58.279 --> 01:31:59.760 very polite, very polite. 1606 01:32:00.319 --> 01:32:03.720 That's CC compliant. Thanks for your service to our country 1607 01:32:03.760 --> 01:32:04.760 and for calling in today. 1608 01:32:05.039 --> 01:32:05.239 Jay. 1609 01:32:05.279 --> 01:32:07.560 You're up next, Jay, thanks for calling this morning, Welcome 1610 01:32:07.560 --> 01:32:10.119 to the show. Thank you, Good morning. 1611 01:32:10.439 --> 01:32:14.239 And I took a friend to the DMV down here 1612 01:32:14.279 --> 01:32:19.119 in Athens yesterday to get a state I D. They 1613 01:32:19.239 --> 01:32:25.560 had their security card, original birth certificate, and that wasn't 1614 01:32:25.680 --> 01:32:28.199 enough to get one. They had to have some kind 1615 01:32:28.479 --> 01:32:34.880 of letter head or bill in their name, like electric bill, 1616 01:32:35.039 --> 01:32:39.039 foam bill. The police have never had any bills, so 1617 01:32:39.359 --> 01:32:42.479 so how are they supposed to get that? Where would 1618 01:32:42.479 --> 01:32:46.239 that be a problem? And where is this Athens, Ohio? 1619 01:32:46.760 --> 01:32:46.960 Huh? 1620 01:32:48.119 --> 01:32:50.880 I thought those were adequate. I mean, I know the 1621 01:32:51.439 --> 01:32:54.279 form of ID is certainly you know anyone, I mean 1622 01:32:54.319 --> 01:32:56.319 the one you were trying to get state ID is. 1623 01:32:56.399 --> 01:32:59.239 They made those available for free. That's all you need 1624 01:32:59.359 --> 01:33:01.960 to vote, So I guess it takes more to get 1625 01:33:02.039 --> 01:33:04.399 that ID than you need to even prove who you 1626 01:33:04.479 --> 01:33:07.199 are to vote. So I don't understand why that wouldn't 1627 01:33:07.199 --> 01:33:11.239 have been adequate. The forms of identification you got, I 1628 01:33:11.520 --> 01:33:15.760 think I can say, see Secretary of State's office has 1629 01:33:15.800 --> 01:33:18.560 got a great website for voting, but it takes how 1630 01:33:18.600 --> 01:33:22.239 to register voting, information, how to in person, vote by mail, everything, 1631 01:33:22.680 --> 01:33:25.840 and it may very well include these specifics on getting 1632 01:33:25.960 --> 01:33:29.479 that identification. It's just out of my element right now. 1633 01:33:29.760 --> 01:33:32.560 I've never had to get one of those IDs, so 1634 01:33:32.640 --> 01:33:34.680 I don't know what the legal requirements are, so I 1635 01:33:34.720 --> 01:33:37.399 can't really say they were wrong or they were right. 1636 01:33:37.680 --> 01:33:39.720 Or maybe come up with an explanation as to why 1637 01:33:40.319 --> 01:33:43.000 that you need to bring something like a bill. Yeah, 1638 01:33:43.119 --> 01:33:47.439 well that part doesn't shock me. Jay anyway, Good luck, man, 1639 01:33:47.520 --> 01:33:50.479 And it's at Ohio SOS dot gov is a Secretary 1640 01:33:50.479 --> 01:33:52.840 of State site and there's just a great information there 1641 01:33:53.319 --> 01:33:56.039 on voting. All right, we're gonna hear from Douglas Ernest. 1642 01:33:56.159 --> 01:33:58.079 Got that book Spirit of a True Patriot.

How he transformed from Pfc. 1660 01:34:51.680 --> 01:34:56.760 Douglas Ernest to a successful businessman retired Captain Douglas Ernest. 1661 01:34:57.159 --> 01:34:58.920 And that's the story of the book.

It 1666 01:35:07.520 --> 01:35:09.880 means a great deal and I love helping and support 1667 01:35:09.960 --> 01:35:12.840 military causes here in the morning show. I want to 1668 01:35:12.920 --> 01:35:16.439 ask you this. You obviously are a votivated man. You 1669 01:35:16.520 --> 01:35:19.880 wanted to use this book as an opportunity to tell 1670 01:35:20.000 --> 01:35:22.479 other people or teach other people to learn how they 1671 01:35:22.520 --> 01:35:25.880 can embrace a mindset to achieve greatness just like you did. 1672 01:35:27.079 --> 01:35:32.880 How do you motivate the unmotivated? You know, I always 1673 01:35:32.960 --> 01:35:34.920 joke about it. I've been at W two employee my 1674 01:35:35.079 --> 01:35:37.880 entire life. I have such profound respect for men like 1675 01:35:38.000 --> 01:35:41.279 you who build a business, who start from scratch, knowing 1676 01:35:41.399 --> 01:35:44.600 full well that creating a business is very difficult. Most 1677 01:35:44.640 --> 01:35:47.479 of them fail. But you got that drive, that motivation 1678 01:35:47.680 --> 01:35:49.399 that keeps you going day in and day out in 1679 01:35:49.439 --> 01:35:52.199 spite of the struggles and challenges. How do you tap 1680 01:35:52.279 --> 01:35:52.600 into that? 1681 01:35:54.640 --> 01:35:57.359 Well, man, that's a great question, Brian, and I would 1682 01:35:57.359 --> 01:35:59.560 say the first thing that comes to my mind intuitively 1683 01:35:59.640 --> 01:36:02.359 is progress. I just remember as a kid, you know, 1684 01:36:02.520 --> 01:36:05.319 being twenty three, twenty four years old and starting this company, 1685 01:36:05.720 --> 01:36:08.880 that it's about doing progress, setting your goals, coming up 1686 01:36:08.920 --> 01:36:11.600 with a vision, and then finding a way to execute 1687 01:36:11.600 --> 01:36:13.960 and the way you could execute. I learned from you know, 1688 01:36:14.079 --> 01:36:17.920 my military experience was being able to do progress reports 1689 01:36:18.199 --> 01:36:20.239 then on the military to make it turn into progress 1690 01:36:20.279 --> 01:36:21.880 report every day. Hey, you got to turn in what 1691 01:36:21.960 --> 01:36:24.119 you did today, what you complished, what your goals were, 1692 01:36:24.520 --> 01:36:27.319 how far behind you are or how far ahead you got. 1693 01:36:27.640 --> 01:36:29.000 What it was was just progress. 1694 01:36:29.039 --> 01:36:30.199 If you set your goal to. 1695 01:36:30.680 --> 01:36:33.600 You know, say make fifty thousand dollars this year, and 1696 01:36:33.720 --> 01:36:34.680 you have a target. 1697 01:36:35.079 --> 01:36:35.680 You know, there's a. 1698 01:36:37.159 --> 01:36:39.920 Theory in school I learned years ago, also called goal 1699 01:36:40.000 --> 01:36:44.319 setting theory nineteen sixty four and empirical based results showed 1700 01:36:44.359 --> 01:36:46.399 that when people set a target, they have a much 1701 01:36:46.560 --> 01:36:48.960 much much higher chance of hitting that target when they 1702 01:36:49.039 --> 01:36:52.119 set the goal. And if you readjust to hit that goal, 1703 01:36:52.399 --> 01:36:54.520 when you do or don't hit it, you have a 1704 01:36:54.640 --> 01:36:57.119 better chance of hitting it in the future. So it's 1705 01:36:57.239 --> 01:36:59.600 making progress. You get up every day, you go to work, 1706 01:36:59.640 --> 01:37:01.720 and you know you're not always going to succeed. To 1707 01:37:01.840 --> 01:37:03.960 the contrary, you're only going to succeed. 1708 01:37:04.520 --> 01:37:05.760 You know, one out of ten. 1709 01:37:06.199 --> 01:37:11.079 The most successful people that we admire in society's like 1710 01:37:11.199 --> 01:37:13.720 set as baseball players. You know, they hit three hundred 1711 01:37:13.720 --> 01:37:16.439 and thirty out of a thousand. They do a thirty 1712 01:37:16.479 --> 01:37:21.720 three percent success rate, and they're considered heroes because of that. 1713 01:37:21.960 --> 01:37:25.880 It's just getting progress, trying it, you know, going against 1714 01:37:25.920 --> 01:37:29.119 the odds to find the odds, and continuing to try 1715 01:37:29.239 --> 01:37:30.680 and strive when things are tough. 1716 01:37:31.239 --> 01:37:35.960 So it is worthwhile establishing these goals. The planning for 1717 01:37:36.039 --> 01:37:38.640 a future. I've always been sort of like, I'll wake 1718 01:37:38.720 --> 01:37:40.560 up tomorrow and I'll deal with tomorrow when it finally 1719 01:37:40.600 --> 01:37:42.560 gets here. You know, it's a line from Costablanca. I 1720 01:37:42.640 --> 01:37:44.439 never make plans that far in advance. You know, well, 1721 01:37:44.439 --> 01:37:46.560 I see you tonight. I don't know own said, so, 1722 01:37:47.039 --> 01:37:50.680 you know, I mean, maybe that's where that folks don't 1723 01:37:50.720 --> 01:37:53.640 have what I'm calling motivation, They just don't have planning. 1724 01:37:53.800 --> 01:37:56.960 And when you have a plan, you then can say 1725 01:37:57.039 --> 01:37:59.399 as you reflect back on the day, I at least 1726 01:37:59.479 --> 01:38:03.119 did at why or the infurtherance of my goal to 1727 01:38:03.199 --> 01:38:04.199 get to where I want to be. 1728 01:38:05.640 --> 01:38:08.880 Absolutely and this type of goal setting theory, you know, 1729 01:38:09.279 --> 01:38:12.199 I didn't create it. It was someone like a scientist 1730 01:38:12.359 --> 01:38:15.279 made it in a university back like what sixty years ago, 1731 01:38:15.760 --> 01:38:18.359 and the Army embraced it. They'd always talk about goal 1732 01:38:18.439 --> 01:38:20.720 sitting theory, goal setting theory, goal setting or you set 1733 01:38:20.760 --> 01:38:23.159 your goal. You know, do you want to lose five pounds, 1734 01:38:23.199 --> 01:38:24.960 you want to lose ten pounds, go ahead and set 1735 01:38:25.000 --> 01:38:28.239 your goals. You're going to lose ten pounds in thirty days, 1736 01:38:28.359 --> 01:38:29.920 or you're going to in our case, you would want 1737 01:38:29.920 --> 01:38:33.279 to pass a physical training test or pass an obstacle course. 1738 01:38:33.600 --> 01:38:36.520 You set your goal, you watch yourself, you try, and 1739 01:38:36.640 --> 01:38:40.560 your mind locks onto a target, like when a you know, 1740 01:38:40.680 --> 01:38:42.840 a tank is in the in the battlefield and they 1741 01:38:42.880 --> 01:38:46.359 have the electronic GPS and it's going to lock onto 1742 01:38:46.439 --> 01:38:48.920 the target to want to get it, and your mind's 1743 01:38:49.000 --> 01:38:51.319 going to continuously want to go there, and you can 1744 01:38:51.479 --> 01:38:54.439 use this application anywhere in your life. And you know, 1745 01:38:54.840 --> 01:38:56.880 you would talk about helping yourself, but you can also 1746 01:38:56.960 --> 01:38:59.520 use it for your kids. My kids now are I 1747 01:38:59.600 --> 01:39:01.720 got my kids got to read thirty six books for 1748 01:39:01.800 --> 01:39:04.760 some headmaster's group that's coming here. We set our goal 1749 01:39:04.960 --> 01:39:06.760 like six months ago that we were going to read 1750 01:39:06.840 --> 01:39:09.039 these books, and my kids on number twenty four or 1751 01:39:09.119 --> 01:39:11.760 thirty six. And I can't tell you how good I feel. 1752 01:39:11.800 --> 01:39:14.119 I can tell all my accomplishments are great, but my 1753 01:39:14.319 --> 01:39:16.880 kid teaching her at nine years old to be able 1754 01:39:16.960 --> 01:39:19.560 to read twenty four out of thirty six books so 1755 01:39:19.680 --> 01:39:21.520 she can be in this group and you know, and 1756 01:39:21.760 --> 01:39:23.720 just be you know, I don't want to say success 1757 01:39:24.199 --> 01:39:27.840 year a nine year old, but it's just start the foundation, 1758 01:39:28.359 --> 01:39:30.199 you know, because when I was nine, I wasn't reading 1759 01:39:30.239 --> 01:39:33.760 twenty four books in thirty six. You know that thirty six, 1760 01:39:33.880 --> 01:39:37.319 I was you know, barely getting by, you know, getting 1761 01:39:37.439 --> 01:39:39.960 sees and wasn't really doing real good as a kid. 1762 01:39:40.119 --> 01:39:41.800 So for me to be able to instill that in 1763 01:39:41.920 --> 01:39:46.199 my kid is so just fulfilling, and I want to 1764 01:39:46.359 --> 01:39:49.560 share this with the world. The book talks about all 1765 01:39:49.600 --> 01:39:52.239 these strategies. You know, I didn't come up with them. 1766 01:39:52.399 --> 01:39:55.319 I just am able to regurgitate. 1767 01:39:54.560 --> 01:39:56.520 If you will, what I was taught. 1768 01:39:56.960 --> 01:39:59.720 The military taught me all these skill sets, and it 1769 01:40:00.000 --> 01:40:02.439 as a way that I achieved success in the military, 1770 01:40:02.479 --> 01:40:04.840 becoming a captain, helping other soldiers learn how to do it, 1771 01:40:04.880 --> 01:40:07.439 helping other soldiers make improve its in their lives. And 1772 01:40:07.600 --> 01:40:09.079 this is the way that I can do it. You 1773 01:40:09.239 --> 01:40:12.159 know it works because I've watched thousands and thousands of 1774 01:40:12.279 --> 01:40:15.800 soldiers improved their lives. I've watched hundreds of people I've 1775 01:40:15.840 --> 01:40:18.359 worked with and my business improved their lives. And I've 1776 01:40:18.439 --> 01:40:21.760 watched my family and myself grow over the last thirty 1777 01:40:21.840 --> 01:40:26.000 years that I've had access to these methodologies, if that's 1778 01:40:26.039 --> 01:40:31.000 the correct word. Methodologies, these perspectives, these frameworks to be 1779 01:40:31.079 --> 01:40:34.359 able to achieve. And the other thing I'd like to say, Brian, 1780 01:40:34.880 --> 01:40:38.199 is that it's not hard. It's something that everybody does. 1781 01:40:38.279 --> 01:40:40.760 If you look at the world around you, you look 1782 01:40:40.800 --> 01:40:42.720 at your neighbor, you look at your friends, you look 1783 01:40:42.760 --> 01:40:44.960 at people in your life or people that you look 1784 01:40:45.039 --> 01:40:47.239 up to, they've achieved it. A lot of people that 1785 01:40:47.319 --> 01:40:50.800 are successful, people that started with nothing. They came from 1786 01:40:50.960 --> 01:40:54.079 nothing and they were hungry and they learned skill sets, 1787 01:40:54.119 --> 01:40:56.279 how to achieve, how to get where they wanted to go, 1788 01:40:56.479 --> 01:40:58.880 how to find the road to get to the end path. 1789 01:40:59.279 --> 01:41:02.640 I keep turning to the fact that you served in 1790 01:41:02.720 --> 01:41:05.680 America's military and that those things that you learned in 1791 01:41:05.760 --> 01:41:08.239 the military are the very skill sets that you applied 1792 01:41:08.359 --> 01:41:12.119 in the private sector to build your very successful business, 1793 01:41:12.199 --> 01:41:14.600 which is Corvette Warehouse. You can find them online at 1794 01:41:14.640 --> 01:41:17.039 Corvette warehouse dot com. I was checking out your C 1795 01:41:17.199 --> 01:41:20.039 eight inventory, my friend. Pretty nice looking sweet cars there. 1796 01:41:20.520 --> 01:41:25.720 But because you know, I know, it's suicide Awareness month 1797 01:41:25.720 --> 01:41:28.479 and I just had the Veterans Services on the other 1798 01:41:28.600 --> 01:41:31.640 day talking about, you know, some of the reasons why 1799 01:41:31.800 --> 01:41:35.800 you have post traumatic stress or why many men and 1800 01:41:35.880 --> 01:41:38.439 women who get out of the service struggle with depression 1801 01:41:38.640 --> 01:41:43.520 because they miss that camaraderie, that teamwork, that working together, 1802 01:41:43.680 --> 01:41:46.960 the cohesive, well oiled machine that is the American military, 1803 01:41:47.000 --> 01:41:48.760 and they come out here in the sort of the 1804 01:41:48.880 --> 01:41:52.199 real world and life is so completely different. You paint 1805 01:41:52.279 --> 01:41:55.800 such a positive spin on your time in America's military 1806 01:41:55.920 --> 01:41:57.800 and how it helped you. I think that's just a 1807 01:41:58.159 --> 01:41:59.479 great way of looking at it. 1808 01:41:59.520 --> 01:42:02.920 Because you were that man, Brian, you nailed it. 1809 01:42:03.000 --> 01:42:06.439 On the camanaraderie ship. The most of the veterans that 1810 01:42:06.520 --> 01:42:09.439 I served with and people that I'm meeting in today's world, 1811 01:42:09.520 --> 01:42:11.439 they tell you, Oh, when I got out, life was 1812 01:42:11.520 --> 01:42:13.000 so boring. There was no excitement. 1813 01:42:13.039 --> 01:42:14.600 There was no bizaz anymore. 1814 01:42:14.840 --> 01:42:17.039 And it just because you don't have a team, You're 1815 01:42:17.079 --> 01:42:19.000 on your own. You have to go find a new 1816 01:42:19.119 --> 01:42:21.840 team to get on. I got out of the military 1817 01:42:21.920 --> 01:42:24.680 after two years, four months, three weeks and two days. 1818 01:42:24.800 --> 01:42:26.760 I know my contract by heart because I tell I 1819 01:42:26.800 --> 01:42:28.640 got my college money when I got out of there 1820 01:42:28.960 --> 01:42:30.000 and I was back in. 1821 01:42:30.479 --> 01:42:32.279 I was back in like. 1822 01:42:32.439 --> 01:42:33.359 Ninety days later. 1823 01:42:33.640 --> 01:42:36.079 I signed up because I missed it so bad. 1824 01:42:36.239 --> 01:42:38.319 I got out of the military, I went to college, 1825 01:42:38.359 --> 01:42:40.600 got some classes, couldn't connect. 1826 01:42:40.279 --> 01:42:41.800 With anybody, didn't have anything. 1827 01:42:41.840 --> 01:42:44.479 I'm used to having friends that God, they risked their 1828 01:42:44.560 --> 01:42:47.920 lives to help me. They were my brothers, my sisters. 1829 01:42:47.960 --> 01:42:50.439 They were like, they'll do anything performed to say, Hey, I'm. 1830 01:42:50.520 --> 01:42:51.119 I need money. 1831 01:42:51.159 --> 01:42:53.520 Oh you here's some money, Just take it. It's yours, 1832 01:42:53.840 --> 01:42:56.079 you know it was you didn't have any friends like 1833 01:42:56.159 --> 01:42:58.079 that in the civilian world. And I went back in 1834 01:42:58.199 --> 01:43:03.520 and immediately into the National Guard unit and a condom Walk, Wisconsin, 1835 01:43:03.600 --> 01:43:06.960 and immediately I connected with other fellows that had the 1836 01:43:07.039 --> 01:43:09.479 same interest as me, and I had that network again. 1837 01:43:09.520 --> 01:43:11.880 I had those friends, and I wound up staying in 1838 01:43:12.039 --> 01:43:14.640 for all those years and even today at fifty three. 1839 01:43:14.760 --> 01:43:18.520 My networks of best friends or my bellow veterans, fellow 1840 01:43:18.600 --> 01:43:21.279 veterans that I connect with, I don't I connect good 1841 01:43:21.319 --> 01:43:23.239 with people in the regular world, Don't get me wrong. 1842 01:43:23.520 --> 01:43:25.720 But my when I need a veteran and the guy 1843 01:43:25.800 --> 01:43:28.520 says I was in Homestille, Germany and I was in operation, 1844 01:43:28.680 --> 01:43:31.399 doesn't start camp. Me and him are friends. We have 1845 01:43:31.720 --> 01:43:32.680 instant connections. 1846 01:43:33.239 --> 01:43:36.119 Oh yeah, that's my that's my philosophy of life. You know, 1847 01:43:36.159 --> 01:43:39.000 if ee, if all you need to do is start 1848 01:43:39.079 --> 01:43:42.520 from a point of agreement, like I like to ride motorcycles. 1849 01:43:42.880 --> 01:43:45.159 If you ride a motorcycle and you go someplace where 1850 01:43:45.199 --> 01:43:48.000 other motorcycles are, you immediately are sort of friends with 1851 01:43:48.079 --> 01:43:50.399 them because you have that one point of connection. Hey 1852 01:43:50.520 --> 01:43:52.680 might sit down and figure out your different religions or 1853 01:43:52.680 --> 01:43:55.680 your different political perspectives, but you'll start off on a 1854 01:43:55.840 --> 01:43:58.760 positive thing, which is that one connection that you know 1855 01:43:58.880 --> 01:44:01.119 you have. Because you can always move over and start 1856 01:44:01.159 --> 01:44:03.680 talking about motorcycles. Again as the things go south when 1857 01:44:03.720 --> 01:44:06.159 you move into the area of politics or religion. 1858 01:44:09.000 --> 01:44:10.359 And over time. 1859 01:44:10.279 --> 01:44:13.520 You've learned to develop skill sets to correct rapport with people, 1860 01:44:13.640 --> 01:44:16.079 especially those that are self employed or want to be 1861 01:44:16.159 --> 01:44:17.960 self employed. You have to be able to get along 1862 01:44:18.000 --> 01:44:21.920 with people, your suppliers, your vendors, your buyers, your community, 1863 01:44:22.119 --> 01:44:24.840 your stakeholders. You have to get along with everybody. And 1864 01:44:24.880 --> 01:44:27.520 then you learn these skill sets from the military. And yes, 1865 01:44:27.920 --> 01:44:30.520 veterans do suffer right now. They get out, they don't 1866 01:44:30.560 --> 01:44:32.760 have direction, they don't know where they're going, they don't 1867 01:44:32.800 --> 01:44:34.600 have friends, they don't have a network, and then you're 1868 01:44:34.640 --> 01:44:38.079 coupled with the alcohol and the drugs. Right now, Americans 1869 01:44:38.159 --> 01:44:41.239 have access to illicit drugs more than ever in the 1870 01:44:41.439 --> 01:44:45.039 history of mankind. Our border is wide open. You can 1871 01:44:45.159 --> 01:44:48.119 come across the border right now. Actually you're welcomed, you're 1872 01:44:48.199 --> 01:44:51.279 given benefits to come here, so you're people are invited 1873 01:44:51.319 --> 01:44:54.279 to come here. That also invites an open road of 1874 01:44:54.399 --> 01:44:57.600 illicit drug trade. And those drugs are porn into our country. 1875 01:44:57.960 --> 01:45:00.720 Where my office is at in Dallas, five years ago, 1876 01:45:00.800 --> 01:45:04.800 you'd rarely see a person on drugs, homeless or the 1877 01:45:04.920 --> 01:45:07.520 worst you'd see of someone under the influence of alcohol 1878 01:45:07.600 --> 01:45:11.439 from time to time wandering the streets, my streets around 1879 01:45:11.479 --> 01:45:14.039 where I work a course, that warehouse right now has 1880 01:45:14.399 --> 01:45:18.920 thousands of drug addicts on the streets, homeless, And it's 1881 01:45:19.000 --> 01:45:21.840 like that in the city all these every metropolitan city 1882 01:45:21.920 --> 01:45:24.479 has that. Now where you go I go to California 1883 01:45:24.520 --> 01:45:28.479 on vacation with my kid is in sane what you see, 1884 01:45:28.920 --> 01:45:31.520 and a lot of these homeless people are veterans. They 1885 01:45:31.600 --> 01:45:33.479 are You'll see a guy on the street with a 1886 01:45:33.560 --> 01:45:36.279 sign and says that turn homeless, police help. And it's 1887 01:45:36.319 --> 01:45:38.520 a sixty year old man that has been served in 1888 01:45:38.560 --> 01:45:41.600 the military that just got hooked on drugs or whatever 1889 01:45:41.760 --> 01:45:44.079 whatever he got himself into. And once you get on 1890 01:45:44.159 --> 01:45:46.239 that pack, you can't get out. It's like the the 1891 01:45:47.239 --> 01:45:50.159 the you know, path dependent theory. I get, give him 1892 01:45:50.359 --> 01:45:52.800 theory to talk about in the military, but once you start, 1893 01:45:52.880 --> 01:45:56.439 you can't stop. You get momentum's both good and bad. 1894 01:45:56.520 --> 01:45:59.560 Yeah, it's that idea of self medication. If you're struggling 1895 01:46:00.119 --> 01:46:03.960 with psychological stress issues post traumatic stress, for example, if 1896 01:46:04.000 --> 01:46:06.600 you're having issues with your time and your service in 1897 01:46:06.640 --> 01:46:09.960 the military, your combat service most notably comes up, or 1898 01:46:09.960 --> 01:46:13.000 anything else. A lot of people self medicate. Alcohol was 1899 01:46:13.079 --> 01:46:16.239 kind of one of the self medication things traditionally speaking. 1900 01:46:16.319 --> 01:46:19.520 But you're right with the type of drugs and the 1901 01:46:19.800 --> 01:46:23.800 quantity of drugs and how addictive modern drugs are. I 1902 01:46:23.880 --> 01:46:26.520 think that's what you got. People start with just self medication, 1903 01:46:26.640 --> 01:46:28.439 They look and take an edge off of the edge 1904 01:46:28.479 --> 01:46:30.399 in their life, and the next thing you know, they've 1905 01:46:30.399 --> 01:46:34.720 got a powerful fentanyl addiction. It's a horror show, absolute 1906 01:46:34.760 --> 01:46:35.279 horror show. 1907 01:46:36.479 --> 01:46:38.840 And I hope that in time we have a government 1908 01:46:38.920 --> 01:46:42.920 of bureaucracy that's created to help combat this in a 1909 01:46:43.039 --> 01:46:47.239 more advantatious way, because it has become awful and it's 1910 01:46:47.319 --> 01:46:50.279 now inflicted every school, every kid. When I was a kid, 1911 01:46:50.399 --> 01:46:52.840 I didn't even know what cocaine was. I didn't know 1912 01:46:52.920 --> 01:46:55.079 what settanol was. I don't know what heroin was. My 1913 01:46:55.199 --> 01:47:00.880 kids are nine and they're trained at school identify it, 1914 01:47:01.000 --> 01:47:04.720 because kids in school at twelve hackney drugs and it's like, 1915 01:47:04.880 --> 01:47:08.720 you don't. You can't like not address it and say, oh, 1916 01:47:08.800 --> 01:47:11.000 doesn't exist, because your kids might touch it and might 1917 01:47:11.079 --> 01:47:13.239 try it and might get it. You know, you've got 1918 01:47:13.319 --> 01:47:15.520 to address it. You have to be educated, you have 1919 01:47:15.680 --> 01:47:18.840 to be able to identify and understand so that you 1920 01:47:18.880 --> 01:47:21.720 don't ever become sucked into it. And again we talked 1921 01:47:21.720 --> 01:47:23.920 about some things that are you know, maybe not the 1922 01:47:24.000 --> 01:47:25.920 most positive on the show, but I believe you have 1923 01:47:26.079 --> 01:47:28.039 to have it. And it's become such a huge part 1924 01:47:28.119 --> 01:47:31.359 of a society that we have now that's integrating the society, 1925 01:47:31.399 --> 01:47:34.600 and the drugs have gotten much much worse. Setanol deaths 1926 01:47:34.640 --> 01:47:38.159 are over one hundred thousand year. Think about that. Vietnam, 1927 01:47:38.239 --> 01:47:41.000 fifty thousand soldiers died, put their life on the battle 1928 01:47:41.000 --> 01:47:43.560 field and passed away. In our country, one hundred thousand 1929 01:47:43.720 --> 01:47:48.199 people die a year from just settanol. Now, think about 1930 01:47:48.239 --> 01:47:51.039 all the loss of opportunity, all the people that could 1931 01:47:51.079 --> 01:47:55.000 have been doctors, lawyers, you know, soldiers, you know, scientists. 1932 01:47:55.680 --> 01:47:58.000 That we can give us a bureaucracy, a government that 1933 01:47:58.119 --> 01:48:00.800 can help actually combat this and it to an end, 1934 01:48:00.880 --> 01:48:02.720 or at least give us some type of cure. 1935 01:48:03.520 --> 01:48:05.960 My guest today, author of the Spirit of a True Patriot, 1936 01:48:06.039 --> 01:48:10.159 The Inspiring Story Retired Captain Douglas j Ernest my guest today, 1937 01:48:10.199 --> 01:48:13.199 author of the book as well as successful businessman.

I want you to explain to my 1981 01:50:26.960 --> 01:50:30.119 listeners how that set you up for what is revealed 1982 01:50:30.159 --> 01:50:32.720 in the title of the book, the Betrayal here in America. 1983 01:50:34.520 --> 01:50:37.960 Yes, it's a really important that the listeners know that 1984 01:50:38.520 --> 01:50:41.640 when we went into Afghanistan originally, and when I say 1985 01:50:41.640 --> 01:50:43.640 we am talk in the United States of America or 1986 01:50:43.720 --> 01:50:46.319 military went in in two thousand and one, it was 1987 01:50:46.399 --> 01:50:50.800 shock and all, and we defeated Taliban decisively right off 1988 01:50:50.840 --> 01:50:58.159 the bat, and it became just sleepy meadows. However, Talaban 1989 01:50:58.279 --> 01:51:02.079 and El Kaeda, they did a surgeons training foreign fighters 1990 01:51:02.239 --> 01:51:09.039 in Pakistan. But the other really devious thing that turned 1991 01:51:09.680 --> 01:51:13.680 a decisive victory into a forever war was in two 1992 01:51:13.720 --> 01:51:17.279 thousand and six he had then Lieutenant General Petraeus as 1993 01:51:17.319 --> 01:51:22.760 well as then Lieutenant Drumatis. They developed a counterinsurgency doctrine 1994 01:51:24.079 --> 01:51:26.560 not just for the Army and the Marines which they 1995 01:51:26.640 --> 01:51:29.199 served in, but for all of the joint services of 1996 01:51:29.199 --> 01:51:33.800 the United States military. So this doctrine became effective, and 1997 01:51:34.319 --> 01:51:36.199 in two thousand and seven when we went in, that 1998 01:51:36.439 --> 01:51:39.800 was the new rules of engagement and the law that 1999 01:51:39.880 --> 01:51:43.279 we would follow. So all the combat appointments that we 2000 01:51:43.359 --> 01:51:47.239 had done in Iraq, all the ship seizures that we 2001 01:51:47.279 --> 01:51:50.880 could do when we saw and had, you know, bomb proof, 2002 01:51:51.760 --> 01:51:54.560 incontrovertible evidence that these guys are bad guys. 2003 01:51:54.640 --> 01:51:56.720 A ship is a bad ship, we can take it down. 2004 01:51:58.039 --> 01:51:59.119 As you read, you know, we. 2005 01:51:59.199 --> 01:52:03.439 Had done hundreds and hundreds of combat missions. Now you 2006 01:52:03.560 --> 01:52:07.319 had to engage the population, win them over. 2007 01:52:07.840 --> 01:52:11.520 You couldn't. So we went in on this mission in 2008 01:52:11.600 --> 01:52:12.479 two thousand and seven. 2009 01:52:13.359 --> 01:52:16.720 I was the commanding officer the first Marine Special Operations 2010 01:52:16.800 --> 01:52:20.279 Task Force, and they put us into the tor Bora Mountains. 2011 01:52:20.439 --> 01:52:24.600 That's where we were operating as we got into Afghanistan 2012 01:52:24.640 --> 01:52:28.479 in the beginning of two thousand and seven. But these 2013 01:52:28.560 --> 01:52:31.079 foreign fighters, we couldn't go into Pakistan, so they were 2014 01:52:31.159 --> 01:52:34.439 coming across the border from Pakistan, which was Pakistan was 2015 01:52:34.439 --> 01:52:39.840 a training sanctuary, and they'd go into Afghanistan on this 2016 01:52:40.520 --> 01:52:44.439 new highway that the US taxpayers built, the very first 2017 01:52:44.520 --> 01:52:49.720 highway in Afghanistan, and so the very first town in Afghanistan. 2018 01:52:50.000 --> 01:52:54.600 Compare that to Amazon Fulfillment Center. That's where they foreign 2019 01:52:54.640 --> 01:52:57.600 fighters would come in across the border. They'd link up 2020 01:52:57.640 --> 01:53:00.920 with their handlers who would take them basically for that 2021 01:53:01.079 --> 01:53:03.920 last mile of service to get their jihat on against 2022 01:53:03.920 --> 01:53:06.760 the Infidel and Kabbabi Kandahar wherever. 2023 01:53:07.239 --> 01:53:07.479 Yeah. 2024 01:53:07.640 --> 01:53:13.359 So we had bomb proof evidence, Brian, there's four suicide bombers. 2025 01:53:13.399 --> 01:53:15.439 We knew the house that they're in, but we were 2026 01:53:15.520 --> 01:53:20.000 still by this counterinsurgency doctrine that we resurrected from Vietnam, 2027 01:53:20.119 --> 01:53:23.399 the winning hearts and minds to hijack the hippocratic oath 2028 01:53:23.479 --> 01:53:25.800 of first do no harm. So it required us to 2029 01:53:25.880 --> 01:53:29.039 do a tribal leader engagement to sit down literally have 2030 01:53:29.319 --> 01:53:33.079 chai with the tribal elders hope that they would sucks 2031 01:53:33.119 --> 01:53:37.199 out and give us information on the Taliban in their village, 2032 01:53:38.319 --> 01:53:40.720 which never would happen. But so we go into this 2033 01:53:40.960 --> 01:53:44.840 village which we'd been through three hours before, and that 2034 01:53:45.079 --> 01:53:49.039 was the normal atmospherics of a roadside bizarre hustle and 2035 01:53:49.119 --> 01:53:54.640 bustle buying different items. Now this time there was a 2036 01:53:54.760 --> 01:53:57.439 mass exodus of women and children. We knew what that 2037 01:53:58.000 --> 01:54:02.960 always turns into as a as a gunfight. Yeah yeah, 2038 01:54:03.199 --> 01:54:05.920 So we get into the throat of this town and 2039 01:54:06.039 --> 01:54:08.720 we get blown up by a van filled with explosives 2040 01:54:09.399 --> 01:54:13.960 and shrapnel fuel detonates right in the front of our 2041 01:54:14.000 --> 01:54:16.760 patrol on our second hum vy. Then we get shot 2042 01:54:16.840 --> 01:54:22.279 at on both sides from jee Hottis fighting out of 2043 01:54:22.560 --> 01:54:26.760 vehicles and on another side jee Hottis informations that some 2044 01:54:26.880 --> 01:54:29.920 would be providing stationary fire while the other would bound 2045 01:54:29.960 --> 01:54:33.680 towards us. They dragged a vehicle across the road. Mob 2046 01:54:33.760 --> 01:54:36.479 swarmed at us. We're getting shot from a hilltop of 2047 01:54:36.560 --> 01:54:40.399 sniper fire, and we did what American Marines are trained 2048 01:54:40.439 --> 01:54:42.680 to do in this type of a kill zone is 2049 01:54:43.279 --> 01:54:44.760 we conducted a counter attack. 2050 01:54:45.479 --> 01:54:47.159 And this was at nine oh three in the morning, 2051 01:54:47.239 --> 01:54:49.399 so there's no fog of war. We didn't know what 2052 01:54:49.600 --> 01:54:51.359 was going on. That's not the facts. 2053 01:54:51.520 --> 01:54:54.600 I was on the patrol with our marines and we 2054 01:54:55.600 --> 01:54:58.279 counter attacks, aimed in and killed all those that were 2055 01:54:58.720 --> 01:55:01.520 firing at us with their a K forty seven. It 2056 01:55:01.960 --> 01:55:07.520 happened in very short order, but we so we aborted 2057 01:55:07.520 --> 01:55:11.000 the mission because there's no sense in having chi and 2058 01:55:11.119 --> 01:55:13.039 trying to see if this town was going. 2059 01:55:13.039 --> 01:55:15.039 To be giving up the goods on these fighters. 2060 01:55:15.199 --> 01:55:20.199 It just happened, So we returned to the base Brian 2061 01:55:20.600 --> 01:55:23.399 twenty minutes after that ambush. We're back on the base 2062 01:55:24.439 --> 01:55:28.000 our operations chief comes and meets us at those salesman, Sir, 2063 01:55:28.720 --> 01:55:31.600 this is already out on the BBC radio that you 2064 01:55:31.760 --> 01:55:35.720 guys have killed women and children. And so then it 2065 01:55:35.840 --> 01:55:40.399 turned into this which ended up being the longest war 2066 01:55:40.479 --> 01:55:43.159 crimes trial Marine Corps history, three and a half weeks 2067 01:55:43.199 --> 01:55:45.359 in a courtroom the following year. 2068 01:55:45.439 --> 01:55:46.720 But how they did? 2069 01:55:46.880 --> 01:55:51.920 You know, we're working for the US Army Special Forces 2070 01:55:51.960 --> 01:55:55.640 over in Afghanistan. So that's well, it's akin if you 2071 01:55:55.720 --> 01:55:56.800 brought your girlfriend. 2072 01:55:56.479 --> 01:55:57.319 Home to meet your wife. 2073 01:55:57.439 --> 01:56:00.800 They didn't want this extra competition from this new Marine 2074 01:56:01.039 --> 01:56:05.920 Special Operations unit, so they were happy to kick us out, 2075 01:56:06.000 --> 01:56:10.239 which is what the Taliban did, this information warfare. They 2076 01:56:10.720 --> 01:56:14.359 rioted in the streets and they all the way up 2077 01:56:14.399 --> 01:56:17.359 to President Amid Cars are condemning us. So the Army 2078 01:56:17.479 --> 01:56:20.239 was quick to kick us out. And then they turned 2079 01:56:20.239 --> 01:56:23.560 it over the Marines. And I'm sure your listeners will 2080 01:56:23.680 --> 01:56:28.520 never believe that. You know, the Marine Corps put a 2081 01:56:29.199 --> 01:56:30.880 three star general in charge of it, and at that 2082 01:56:31.000 --> 01:56:34.159 time it was General mad Dog Mattis. He was our 2083 01:56:34.239 --> 01:56:38.279 convening authority, and he sent forty five criminal investigators and 2084 01:56:38.359 --> 01:56:42.119 four prosecuting attorneys to dogpile the seven of us who 2085 01:56:42.159 --> 01:56:46.399 were false accused in this case of killing nineteen and 2086 01:56:46.560 --> 01:56:51.760 wounding another fifty. They said innocent Afghan civilians to include 2087 01:56:51.800 --> 01:56:57.399 women and children, but the tactics that General Maddie allowed 2088 01:56:57.960 --> 01:57:00.800 them to use to include the prosecuting toorney's dressing a 2089 01:57:00.880 --> 01:57:05.520 civilian clothes, threatening to deport one of our marines parents, 2090 01:57:06.079 --> 01:57:09.279 in this case his mother to Mexico, which they couldn't do. 2091 01:57:10.079 --> 01:57:12.920 But you know, they tricked him and he signed their 2092 01:57:13.039 --> 01:57:16.760 prepared statement which basically nailed their coffin shed. And they 2093 01:57:16.800 --> 01:57:21.800 attempted to do that to two other Marines, this ethnic targeting, 2094 01:57:21.880 --> 01:57:25.680 one of Egyptian descent, one of from Puerto Rico. They 2095 01:57:25.800 --> 01:57:29.119 tried to trick them using polographs and so it would 2096 01:57:29.119 --> 01:57:31.399 show deception, indicated them they were coming after us with 2097 01:57:31.640 --> 01:57:35.439 every trick in the book, legal or illegal, and it 2098 01:57:35.560 --> 01:57:38.199 all comes out in the courtroom. And it took me 2099 01:57:38.640 --> 01:57:44.960 Brian eleven years to get the courtroom transcripts declassified, many 2100 01:57:45.000 --> 01:57:49.680 of them put out there on different reports online and 2101 01:57:49.760 --> 01:57:52.239 you can see people freak out, Hey, this says secret 2102 01:57:52.279 --> 01:57:56.279 at the top with a line treatments. It has been declassified, 2103 01:57:56.279 --> 01:57:57.920 and it's in this book so you see it for 2104 01:57:57.960 --> 01:58:01.000 the first time in one place. People are just shocked 2105 01:58:01.079 --> 01:58:04.199 that how did this happen to our own marines? 2106 01:58:04.399 --> 01:58:05.399 Buyer marine. 2107 01:58:05.479 --> 01:58:08.079 Yeah, but like what I mean, the burning question here, 2108 01:58:08.159 --> 01:58:12.600 Major Gallen, why did they do this to you? It 2109 01:58:12.680 --> 01:58:16.680 seems to me, I mean and unwinding how the events occurred. 2110 01:58:16.760 --> 01:58:19.359 You go there to engage and try to, you know, 2111 01:58:19.479 --> 01:58:22.079 make nicey with the locals and see if they'll drop 2112 01:58:22.119 --> 01:58:25.560 a dime on the Taliban. Find instead you get ambushed. 2113 01:58:25.600 --> 01:58:27.720 You kill the people who are ambushing you, right, and 2114 01:58:27.800 --> 01:58:30.159 you already noted that the women and children had moved out, 2115 01:58:30.159 --> 01:58:32.680 which is an obvious indicator. It's going to hit the 2116 01:58:32.800 --> 01:58:35.039 fan and you know what it is. So it does 2117 01:58:35.439 --> 01:58:39.680 you defend yourself and apparently the BBC gets information from 2118 01:58:39.800 --> 01:58:42.920 let me guess the Taliban side of the equation or 2119 01:58:42.960 --> 01:58:45.720 the Afghani side saying women and children. They immediately took 2120 01:58:45.760 --> 01:58:48.000 it at face value and printed it. And that's where 2121 01:58:48.119 --> 01:58:48.880 it all started. 2122 01:58:49.000 --> 01:58:49.119 Is that? 2123 01:58:49.279 --> 01:58:50.680 Is that how that unfolded? 2124 01:58:52.079 --> 01:58:52.239 Yes? 2125 01:58:52.600 --> 01:58:55.520 Okay, so remember well I'm just trying to draw patty 2126 01:58:55.560 --> 01:58:58.880 because you know when Hamask went into Israel and killed 2127 01:58:58.920 --> 01:59:01.680 and slaughtered women in a women and children and Israel, 2128 01:59:01.760 --> 01:59:04.680 I believe properly responded to defend itself. You know, we're 2129 01:59:04.760 --> 01:59:07.279 oh my god, forty thousand people died, women and children. 2130 01:59:07.399 --> 01:59:09.880 Well that was Hamas reporting that. It's kind of a 2131 01:59:09.960 --> 01:59:11.840 laughable thing. You just going to take that at face 2132 01:59:11.920 --> 01:59:14.760 vag and repeat it over and over again. Why did 2133 01:59:14.840 --> 01:59:19.960 they take such strenuous efforts to convict you here in 2134 01:59:20.079 --> 01:59:22.560 America for this event when they could have just as 2135 01:59:22.680 --> 01:59:26.079 strenuously argued that the narrative was false. 2136 01:59:27.399 --> 01:59:29.359 Yes, well, just like in the title of the book 2137 01:59:30.279 --> 01:59:34.680 or the subtitle ambushed in Afghanistan, betrayed in America. So 2138 01:59:35.119 --> 01:59:37.840 let me unroll that for a second. Yeah, we expect 2139 01:59:38.159 --> 01:59:42.199 the Taliban or Hamas to use information warfare. They're terrorists, 2140 01:59:42.199 --> 01:59:44.920 that's what they do. We expected that. And just like 2141 01:59:45.520 --> 01:59:51.920 before Israel actually went into the counter attack, you felt 2142 01:59:52.079 --> 01:59:55.359 Hamas winding up. As they said on the International Omni 2143 01:59:55.439 --> 02:00:01.720 Channel media, Israel is conducting genocide, genocide. They haven't even 2144 02:00:01.800 --> 02:00:07.000 gone into and conducted any attacks. So you're already tilting 2145 02:00:07.039 --> 02:00:09.680 your hand. But we expect that of the terrorists, but 2146 02:00:09.760 --> 02:00:14.520 we don't expect And let me explain the motive because 2147 02:00:15.079 --> 02:00:18.720 I'm can make a connection here. So let's go back 2148 02:00:18.760 --> 02:00:20.960 to the last war that we actually won, a war, 2149 02:00:21.319 --> 02:00:25.960 not something minor. World War two. The Japanese attacked us 2150 02:00:26.000 --> 02:00:29.439 in Pearl Harbor. They attacked us with aircraft carriers, they 2151 02:00:29.479 --> 02:00:33.239 had battleships. They had the largest, well trained and most 2152 02:00:33.359 --> 02:00:38.279 disciplined force across all the stick nations. And after they 2153 02:00:38.640 --> 02:00:42.119 blew us up three and a half years later, after 2154 02:00:42.199 --> 02:00:45.520 the United States Marines and the Army and the Navy 2155 02:00:45.680 --> 02:00:49.119 conducted this joint operations all across the Pacific, raised the 2156 02:00:49.159 --> 02:00:50.159 flag on a regima. 2157 02:00:50.640 --> 02:00:51.479 We fought like hell. 2158 02:00:52.279 --> 02:00:52.640 Guess what. 2159 02:00:53.000 --> 02:00:57.800 We had an unconditional surrender on the United States the 2160 02:00:57.960 --> 02:01:01.560 USS Missouri midship on the surrender deck in Tokyo Bay. 2161 02:01:01.920 --> 02:01:07.119 Unconditional surrender. Now, the Taliban was using weapons designed two 2162 02:01:07.279 --> 02:01:11.279 years after that war, AK forty seven's and homemade explosives, 2163 02:01:12.039 --> 02:01:16.079 and they didn't have any battleshipped aircraft carriers, planes, they 2164 02:01:16.119 --> 02:01:20.399 didn't have any of that technology. But they brought us 2165 02:01:20.439 --> 02:01:26.399 to our knees and put the largest most advanced sophist kid. 2166 02:01:26.520 --> 02:01:31.439 Now we have satellites, we have supersonic fifth generation aircraft. 2167 02:01:31.920 --> 02:01:35.159 We lost to these guys using rifle. 2168 02:01:35.439 --> 02:01:39.760 Well, we wanted to do this we wanted by putting 2169 02:01:39.880 --> 02:01:44.119 this failed during Vietnam, This counterinsurgency strategy, the hearts and 2170 02:01:44.159 --> 02:01:48.439 minds campaign that failed in Vietnam resurrected that. But you 2171 02:01:48.880 --> 02:01:51.239 when you connect the dots and say, hey, wait a second, 2172 02:01:51.319 --> 02:01:53.960 where is mattis now? Oh, that's right, he works at 2173 02:01:54.000 --> 02:01:56.399 General Dynamics. He used to work on the board. I'm 2174 02:01:56.439 --> 02:02:00.720 not saying working like he was the same patial field 2175 02:02:00.800 --> 02:02:04.319 is me infantry? All these guys are infantry, Betraeus. They 2176 02:02:04.359 --> 02:02:08.920 don't have advanced degrees in aerospace and high tech communication. 2177 02:02:09.000 --> 02:02:12.119 They're not doing anything involving AI. They're paid for access 2178 02:02:12.239 --> 02:02:12.680 and placement. 2179 02:02:12.760 --> 02:02:14.720 Yeah, exactly like Conor Biden. You know, he didn't know 2180 02:02:14.720 --> 02:02:17.119 anything about Barisma or gas industry, but he knew the 2181 02:02:17.199 --> 02:02:18.960 right people and then he could hook him up. I 2182 02:02:19.039 --> 02:02:19.720 get that. Yeah. 2183 02:02:21.000 --> 02:02:24.079 So they turned this into a forever war and they're 2184 02:02:24.159 --> 02:02:28.840 still involved in it now. And your listeners, mark my words, listeners, 2185 02:02:29.319 --> 02:02:31.560 there's going to be a war. There's going to be 2186 02:02:31.600 --> 02:02:34.479 a war in Northeast Asia. And if you love your 2187 02:02:34.560 --> 02:02:37.720 sons and daughters, your nieces and nephews, you need to 2188 02:02:37.760 --> 02:02:40.399 be very well aware where all these generals are working. 2189 02:02:41.239 --> 02:02:44.640 General Miley. He's not an investment professional. Why is he 2190 02:02:44.760 --> 02:02:47.920 working at JP Morgan? Is he picking out stocks? 2191 02:02:48.079 --> 02:02:48.479 Is you know? 2192 02:02:48.760 --> 02:02:52.399 No, it's he has access and placement, the same thing 2193 02:02:52.479 --> 02:02:55.159 with all these The Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff 2194 02:02:55.159 --> 02:02:57.840 before him in Dunford he works at Lucke'd marked the 2195 02:02:57.960 --> 02:03:01.600 largest defense contractor in the world. Where does our current 2196 02:03:01.640 --> 02:03:03.920 Secretary of Defense, who was a four star general, where 2197 02:03:03.960 --> 02:03:07.640 did he come from? That's right raytheon. So this revolving 2198 02:03:07.800 --> 02:03:12.239 door of where all these guys go to, and we 2199 02:03:12.319 --> 02:03:14.920 could pull out of Afghanistan, which we did, and you know, 2200 02:03:15.000 --> 02:03:17.199 the tail wags the dog, and they'll find the next 2201 02:03:17.319 --> 02:03:20.960 war that they'll tell depending on This is a righteous 2202 02:03:21.199 --> 02:03:23.760 just cause that we're going to spend countless billions of 2203 02:03:23.800 --> 02:03:28.399 dollars in Ukraine and they did, and we are spending 2204 02:03:28.520 --> 02:03:31.359 so much money we can't even keep track of this 2205 02:03:31.680 --> 02:03:37.800 moneyball military industrial complex. Yes, unfortunately, name of the book 2206 02:03:37.840 --> 02:03:40.119 A Few Bad Men, The true story of US Marines 2207 02:03:40.119 --> 02:03:43.199 ambushed in Afghanistan and betrayed in America by my guests 2208 02:03:43.239 --> 02:03:46.079 that they retired Major Fred Gallvin from the United States 2209 02:03:46.159 --> 02:03:49.279 Marine Corps probably served well. I guess the pride I 2210 02:03:49.720 --> 02:03:52.000 presume on some levels still exists in spite of the 2211 02:03:52.520 --> 02:03:55.840 treatment that you receive from your country. Did you ever 2212 02:03:55.960 --> 02:03:58.560 resolve that in your mind and your heart and your mind, sir, 2213 02:03:58.760 --> 02:04:00.359 that once you got through all this and you were 2214 02:04:00.399 --> 02:04:03.680 exonerated and acquitted and we're able to tell your story, 2215 02:04:03.760 --> 02:04:06.000 do you get a better sense of your connection to 2216 02:04:06.079 --> 02:04:08.640 the country or have you been sort of scarred by this. 2217 02:04:11.159 --> 02:04:11.359 Both? 2218 02:04:11.439 --> 02:04:14.840 But Brian, you have to, you know, in order to 2219 02:04:14.920 --> 02:04:17.520 have a fruitful life, and I talk about this, you 2220 02:04:17.600 --> 02:04:19.880 have to let this stuff go. And some people may 2221 02:04:19.920 --> 02:04:22.239 call me stupid or an idiot because I went right 2222 02:04:22.399 --> 02:04:26.079 after we got exoneraated, went back to Afghanistan, fought again, 2223 02:04:26.880 --> 02:04:30.960 and served seven more years until I was actually forced 2224 02:04:31.000 --> 02:04:31.880 you to service. 2225 02:04:31.920 --> 02:04:33.840 Limitations say you got to go. 2226 02:04:34.960 --> 02:04:37.720 I didn't come back and start my own business in 2227 02:04:37.800 --> 02:04:40.279 Midwest and then went back and served in the Marine 2228 02:04:40.319 --> 02:04:44.399 Corps as civilian. But our national defense is vital now 2229 02:04:44.560 --> 02:04:47.640 more than ever. And we're seeing a lot of these 2230 02:04:47.760 --> 02:04:52.199 radical agenda being injected into the military. You're seeing our 2231 02:04:52.279 --> 02:04:55.680 military disgrace as these Marines had bags put over their 2232 02:04:55.680 --> 02:04:59.439 head in Turkey. We have a former Navy seal who's 2233 02:04:59.439 --> 02:05:04.520 still it us or US Navy sailor apprehended done in Venezuela. Yeah, 2234 02:05:04.920 --> 02:05:08.000 we're we are looked at on the international stage as 2235 02:05:08.039 --> 02:05:11.520 a joke right now, and we need a strong military 2236 02:05:11.640 --> 02:05:15.960 now more than ever. And hopefully some things change here 2237 02:05:16.039 --> 02:05:18.399 in a couple of months, and we amen, we had 2238 02:05:18.439 --> 02:05:19.640 that respect restored. 2239 02:05:20.199 --> 02:05:24.399 Amen to that underscore bold in caps, Major of Fred 2240 02:05:24.640 --> 02:05:28.079 Galvin USMC retired the book A Few Bad Men, The 2241 02:05:28.119 --> 02:05:30.439 True Store of US Marines' ambush in Afghanistan and Betrayed. 2242 02:05:30.439 --> 02:05:33.039 But in America, my listeners. I got a lot of 2243 02:05:33.159 --> 02:05:35.800 listeners in America's military, military families out there, and I 2244 02:05:36.079 --> 02:05:38.199 do everything I can to support military causes.
