00:02:39.160
to do up in syria the american people are kind of tired of this right they want to see focus here in
00:02:43.360
the united states we got enough problems we've got a major islamic problem not just in michigan we got
00:02:47.900
a major islam problem in new york city and in and in texas it's got to be dealt with it has to be dealt
00:02:55.960
with and it's got to be dealt with now by us we can't let this thing fester when you fester you see
00:03:00.580
what happens in michigan you see what happens in new york city where you have a can you believe
00:03:05.220
that in new york city after 9-11 of which was one of the motivating forces for you doing black water
00:03:12.360
and actually sending all these patriots uh that went to defend their country as contractors because
00:03:17.560
quite frankly the u.s government couldn't afford to keep on the balance sheet anymore right on with
00:03:22.320
with benefits and paying everything like that that 24 years after 9-11 that a marxist elect a radical
00:03:29.440
jihadist marxist jihadist and people should know we are checking in deeply into the background of
00:03:35.400
this guy he's not a citizen he's a ugandan citizen he's got a dual passport and it never
00:03:40.920
should have been given i mean this guy never should have been approved by the state department
00:03:44.680
christine noem should denaturalize him denaturalize him on the facts and we're that's a process that
00:03:50.560
we're working on um you have you know you're held in such high regard by the maga movement and the
00:03:58.680
president um and and people kind of in in at the senior leadership in this movement because you
00:04:05.000
are action oriented and when i talk to eric i can always get a good read on what's going on
00:04:09.700
geopolitically and a really good read on what's national security and intelligence how do i say
00:04:16.720
this having known you now for 20 years you've been obsessed by an issue that was kind of outside a
00:04:23.840
little bit outside your your bailiwick which is the high technology about communications talk to me
00:04:28.940
about that because we're going to get to you you've you've built this phone but this is one that
00:04:32.740
is are you ahab and this is your white whale or is this because of your knowledge and understanding
00:04:39.200
as you've worked uh to support the united states and and and and and run things like blackboard etc
00:04:45.720
about about communications about comms i read a lot of history and a lot of military history and
00:04:51.340
every uh every significant movement that was destroyed was often uh undermined or destroyed by
00:04:58.480
their communications being compromised and i was an early investor in wicker which was a secure app
00:05:04.340
uh all at the same time you know doing blackwater doing covert action programs all the rest
00:05:09.160
um and especially when wicker was sold to amazon and then especially after the 2020 election
00:05:15.940
when big tech is very much colluding with big government the deep state to throttle free speech
00:05:22.860
well they bought wicker so they could basically shut down secure communications or or put a back door
00:05:28.360
that nobody could nobody could verify right um but especially we know what they did with parlor and
00:05:34.300
they all did and they did it in such a coordinated concerted meth um uh approach after the 2020 election
00:05:40.800
and throwing people off the platforms i said to hell with it we need to develop our own phone we're not
00:05:46.540
going to make big tech bigger or better uh by complaining about it only if we can compete and so we pivoted we
00:05:53.000
have a development team and we developed the unplugged phone we've sold many thousands many you guys
00:05:58.860
you're the war room audience the posse was the first yeah first launch audience yeah and um and we've now
00:06:05.940
so that was our beta i think we sold 12 or 13 000 in the beta uh redid the operating system we brought
00:06:13.160
a fantastic guy over from apple he said eric i'm i'm i'm a man married to a woman i'm a christian i have
00:06:21.320
six kids i like guns and jujitsu and i'm tired of working with a company that hates me and he said
00:06:26.360
please let me help you build out unplugged this is joe joe joe yeah and i think you'll be on tomorrow
00:06:31.040
yeah um and so we redesigned the phone and the operating system and we did three things one we
00:06:37.780
made it much more friendly and easy to transition to for transitioning your contacts and your photos
00:06:44.280
and all the rest and to make it very friendly but not just for android world but for apple world
00:06:50.360
so you can use iMessage you can use uh apple music or apple tv and all those apps that you're used to
00:06:58.420
operating runs on an unplugged phone the difference is the unplugged phone prevents the collection and
00:07:04.480
the export of all your data and we actually show you that in real time um on on your own firewall
00:07:10.000
screen second um we hardened it and made it impervious uh and we even have the law letters
00:07:18.640
from various parts of the u.s law enforcement saying we've seized this unplugged phone and we need your
00:07:23.380
help unlocking it they said we've tried everything at the u.s federal government's disposal and we
00:07:29.120
can't open it and of course we have no ability to do that either there is no back door third because
00:07:34.240
people have questions about the technology is there any back doors or whoever developed it
00:07:38.460
we open sourced everything so it's all free for inspection uh so that we are putting our credibility
00:07:46.380
and our information security uh to the ultimate test that people can open source it and review it
00:07:52.840
at their will why is this such a huge deal about how big tech can get into your phone see everything
00:07:59.100
you've done and and also get get all your location can get all the information that you've stored up
00:08:04.280
everything every place you've been etc why is that such a big deal surveillance capitalism really exploded
00:08:09.400
and started after 9-11 when the u.s was rightly looking for more people fitting the profile of the
00:08:15.300
9-11 hijackers but then uh as that goes from kind of an analog uh collection to digital right when
00:08:23.320
iphones come out in 2009 all the apps that are designed to sit in that phone are designed to
00:08:28.280
collect where you go what you buy who you call what you browse and just vacuum everything we've
00:08:33.940
actually measured an unplugged phone versus an iphone versus a an android running samsung
00:08:38.600
um and it's like 200 000 um uh bits uh packets of information per hour are exported off of your
00:08:50.300
phone nothing from an unplugged phone so the difference is zero from an unplugged zero and so a the difference
00:08:58.220
is um we we block the phone from exporting that data so that the apps are not able to collect and and all
00:09:07.340
that stuff is sold to a data broker uh so that anybody can access really with fifty dollar and a thousand
00:09:13.640
dollar credit card uh you can collect all the data where everybody where everyone's been who they
00:09:18.940
interact with back at least five years it's extraordinary so then now you think about as ai rolls out
00:09:25.360
all that data all your digital exhaust is out there being vacuumed up into these ai data centers you can
00:09:31.200
effectively be digitally groomed the average kid in america by the time they're age of 13 has had 72
00:09:37.460
million data points collected on them by big tech now if you are so confident that big tech is going
00:09:44.040
to treat your kids fairly or you as a citizen fairly good luck we give people an off-ramp that allows
00:09:50.740
them to operate walk us through the off-ramp particularly as parents with kids they come of age that you feel
00:09:56.440
they need a phone why is it the unplugged phone because the unplugged phone allows them to
00:10:01.100
communicate with you safely they can still get music they can still go to a movie communicate with
00:10:06.460
their friends securely the difference is all their kids data is not being blasted out to any data broker
00:10:13.920
in the world on a constant basis and so big tech can't groom them by continually throwing up to the
00:10:19.640
kids in front of them exactly what their interests are and then and then start to weave them down these
00:10:24.400
dark corridors exactly which is exactly what happens and why it's such a these devices in the hands of
00:10:30.480
children unless you have strict parental supervision or something like unplugged that the parents can
00:10:34.720
can utilize you're you're opening up pandora's box correct we are we are a lock on pandora's box
00:10:41.440
what um why do you think you know we're we're trying to deconstruct the administrative state and destroy
00:10:48.440
the deep state we're only making you know the chart the hundred subpoenas they've got out on this conspiracy
00:10:54.680
theory uh or this vast conspiracy they've got uh are just now hitting it it looks like as it stands now
00:11:01.920
taking down the deep state is a much bigger effort than i think people realized when we took the government
00:11:07.560
back over this time is that the reason you need this phone because you can never trust you can never trust
00:11:12.440
the big tech government collusion will never be broken and you can't that oligarchy uh will will
00:11:19.320
continue to to basically use your data again first of all to monetize it when you don't want to monetize
00:11:25.240
but also to use it against you look right now any any government agent or any any investigator anybody
00:11:33.000
with a thousand dollars and a credit card can go buy data from a data broker and figure out who went to a
00:11:37.960
gun show who went to a christian school who went to a prayer meeting who went to the the weekly rosary
00:11:43.960
or whatever uh or or went to a liquor store i mean whatever it is you're talking about the the
00:11:51.400
islamization of parts of america they're forcing um certain places to close bars or to close a liquor
00:11:57.960
shop or to or to not sell pork come on allowing that much power into any government hands or the fact
00:12:07.480
is in the private sector hands if we believe in the constitution right first amendment free speech
00:12:13.400
fourth amendment gives you supposed to guarantee you a right against unnecessary search and you're
00:12:19.720
saying we can show the letters that that u.s government and law enforcement agencies have
00:12:24.280
tried to break into that phone right and they can't do it so they come back to the company and
00:12:28.440
say and the you guys can't do it either only the individual that's correct the keys belong to you
00:12:34.360
the owner of the phone that's it so they said we've used every means at our disposal of the doj
00:12:41.960
fbi secret service uh dea so as you know because we were the biggest our audience uh bought more
00:12:49.400
of these than any of the people that got them love them as soon as they could do you know it was
00:12:53.480
a little complicated at first you guys and so we fixed that we fixed that we made it easier to
00:12:57.880
transition and also when you buy an unplugged phone you get an hour online with our tech like you
00:13:03.400
you should go to an apple store and they transfer all your stuff we do that for you remotely and
00:13:07.400
make it easy uh so so easy to transition allows you to navigate with all the apps that you're used
00:13:13.480
to literally every one of them yeah and the phone has been hardened and if people are wondering about
00:13:19.160
any back doors it's open sourced unplugged.com slash slash war room you get all your discounts
00:13:26.280
everything go there check it out most importantly you interact with people get all the information

is the birthplace of the united states marine corps the continental marines formed 250 years ago we have
00:16:47.000
jack basoba live jack put us in the room sir you know steve let me just say it's it's a cold day
00:16:57.640
it's a rainy day it's a windy day this morning here in philadelphia but that didn't stop the marines
00:17:04.760
the marines are out here they're at the age they're at to commemorate the names of the fallen from vietnam
00:17:11.400
war they're out here reading every single name they're ringing a bell for each person who died and
00:17:18.040
as they're going through these names it's seven page list single spaced and they're going through
00:17:23.880
the dates as well and you hear so many of these guys who died on the same day you know that's various
00:17:29.160
battles that's the ted offensive that's all things they were going through and people may have read
00:17:33.400
about those things at home or they may have seen some of the footage of it or something but
00:17:37.960
when when you go here and on the marines birthday in philadelphia the city marine corps was born 250
00:17:43.880
years ago today you realize that those are all just those are all just stories we tell these are
00:17:49.560
the real men these are the real veterans united states marine corps who actually lived through this
00:17:56.120
these incredible americans upon which the backbone of everything that we have in the united states
00:18:02.840
rests and i think today is really an opportunity to just say steve you know what they say no such thing
00:18:07.640
as a former marine yes um jack talk to me about philadelphia as the birthplace i mean you know
00:18:16.280
philadelphia was such pride in the navy um you know the first rural navy yard was down there um
00:18:22.440
talk to me about uh the marines in philadelphia
00:18:27.640
well see the marine corps founded philadelphia 250 years ago today at ton tavern
00:18:31.960
and basically as everyone knows the story is uh they had it was it was private men coming together
00:18:38.920
um you know uh kind of merchant marine you would almost call it at the time and they said they ran
00:18:44.360
into the tavern and said we need men who are willing to go and fight the british on the open seas
00:18:50.040
and we need men who are willing to fight on board the ship and all the men in the tavern stood up the
00:18:55.240
tavern of philadelphia said we'll come fight with you and that was the very first what they call recruiting
00:18:59.800
drive the united states marine corps was just a few blocks away from where i'm standing right now
00:19:04.200
here at penn's landing uh which is also of course the place where william penn first landed when he
00:19:08.680
arrived in philadelphia 400 years ago almost and so when you were you know in pennsylvania and so when
00:19:14.520
you see when you see the connection of the history to the revolutionary generation here the vietnam
00:19:20.520
generation and then whatever may be the next generation taps of course is beginning so i want to
00:20:01.560
at this point we're going to prove when and steve when they're wrapping up here
00:20:09.960
the thing that people need to remember of course is when we're talking about going overseas when
00:20:13.800
we're talking about putting american men american boots on the ground american soldiers marines sailors
00:20:20.440
airmen in harm's way this isn't some you know fluffy you know think piece in the washington post
00:20:27.880
and the new york times that means you're sending these boys to be willing to get blown up to willing
00:20:32.120
to get shot at and in many cases not coming back that's why we take it seriously every single day in
00:20:38.360
the war room and on human events daily and look the men of philadelphia are willing to fight the same
00:20:43.880
way they're willing to fight 250 years ago the way they're willing to fight the vietnam era
00:20:47.880
will always be willing to fight but that's why you take it seriously we're doing the prayer now
00:20:52.200
he'll stand back and sacrifice a humble and a contrite heart lord god of hosts be with us yet

everybody's celebrating the birth of our corps and just remembering uh why we served uh remembering
00:23:05.720
our brothers and sisters that have gone before us and just taking pride in the fact that we're
00:23:14.680
general uh we had a screening of michael pack's uh last 600 meters and folks it will premiere tonight
00:23:20.920
on pbs national national release of the film after 17 years and i think you'll see why tonight on pbs 10
00:23:28.440
p.m eastern standard time on pbs um one of the marines that's in the movie when we had the premiere
00:23:35.640
came and he had been in the army before and then went to the marine corps after he got out of the army
00:23:41.080
and he said what struck him about the marine corps is that every day in the marine corps you're reminded of
00:23:45.880
its history and its traditions your its history and its traditions can you explain that to us for a
00:23:50.920
second well absolutely so i was the commanding general paris island and i'll tell you firsthand
00:23:57.880
how we did it the day you show up every marine the day they show up to become a marine we teach our
00:24:04.600
history we talk about our history every marine can tell you when born uh why it was born why we celebrate
00:24:13.080
the marine corps birthday who general lejeune is who his message is we teach our history because at the
00:24:21.000
end when you're cold wet tired and hungry and you have to dig deep you think of those that have gone
00:24:26.680
before you and they become your conscience and uh and we want that to mean something you're a part of
00:24:32.120
something and you have to know the history of it to understand how special that is that you're a united
00:24:37.800
states marine what um talk to us about the is it the yellow the the feet markers when you get to
00:24:45.800
paris island walk us through the process of how you turn a normal 17 or 18 year old american teenager
00:24:52.680
into a united states marine sir i really it's it's something to behold i i i never really believed it
00:25:02.040
until i saw it firsthand as the commanding general to see these young men and women show up
00:25:06.440
scared to death looking like a bag of donuts uh showing up getting on these yellow footprints
00:25:12.120
and then watching the transformation from the day they show up until the day they graduate i have
00:25:17.480
watched parents come to graduation uh and didn't even recognize their child that was standing right in
00:25:23.800
front of them uh it's absolutely uh magical how we do it and uh we break them down to their lowest form
00:25:31.080
and we build them back up to be a united states marine with all the values of honor courage and
00:25:36.440
commitment and uh it doesn't end there you know it's always a work in progress all the way through you're
00:25:41.640
always building on that but uh i i really believe what we do in our boot camps i love what
00:25:46.920
we do in the marine corps it is a true transformation general can you uh can you stick with us uh we
00:25:54.040
want to hold you through the next break and uh and and bring you back on michael pack uh tonight you're
00:25:59.880
gonna be co-hosting with me in the war room uh live uh five to seven but talk to me at 10 o'clock
00:26:05.640
tonight after 17 years what i think many people are saying you know we took it around to so many marine
00:26:12.280
corps bases and had the uh troops have the marines watch it uh some say it's maybe the finest uh film
00:26:19.320
documentary made about the marine corps your thoughts tonight after 17 years we finally launched this
00:26:24.120
nationwide it's really it's an amazing thing you know i've made it over 15 films that have been
00:26:30.120
nationally broadcast on pbs usually take six months to a year i think 17 years is some kind of record
00:26:37.720
it's very satisfying to finally do it i mean when you and i worked on it steve it was such a different
00:26:43.480
world um but i i always say i i'm grateful to the president of pbs paula kerger for reversing
00:26:50.840
those 17 years of no and turning it into a yes and putting it on at this great time slot at 10 p.m
00:26:58.520
it's a 10 p.m all across the country although some stations might move it around a little
00:27:03.160
on the on the marine corps birthday and the day before veterans day and for those that miss it it'll
00:27:08.280
be on amazon starting tomorrow and it's it's very satisfying i was particularly satisfied to show it
00:27:14.680
in that screening that you mentioned a few minutes ago where we had these veterans there it was really
00:27:20.200
satisfying to see it with them and their spirit on stage it's been 17 years since i saw many of them
00:27:26.840
but their spirit is the same you know they look a little older a little bolder a little fatter a
00:27:31.240
little grayer yeah but i i was struck by um if you're a homeowner you need to listen to this
00:27:38.200
in today's ai and cyber world scammers are stealing home titles with more ease than ever and your equity
00:27:45.960

then they take out loans using your equity or even sell your property you won't even know it's happened
00:28:05.240
until you get a collection or foreclosure foreclosure notice so let me ask you when was the last time you
00:28:13.720

00:30:13.560
like 20 years ago with michael making this film um that uh the the film starts off in first fallujah
00:30:19.800
with his contractors the black border guys uh being assaulted and um quite gruesome is pbs going to show
00:30:26.840
the the version that we showed last couple the navy memorial the theater are they going to show that
00:30:32.440
version they're not it's going to be a somewhat edited version i mean they don't show the full
00:30:38.280
beheading we had to cut a few minutes out uh but they have the whole black water sequence as you say
00:30:44.840
it began when four contractors four black border contractors were murdered burned dragged through
00:30:51.320
the streets of fallujah and two of them were hung from a bridge while iraqis celebrate iraqi insurgents
00:30:57.720
celebrated underneath cheered and slapped the body and it was an amazing image and that sparked the
00:31:05.000
first battle of fallujah and began the story yeah kick off with the uh with the marines going into
00:31:11.480
fallujah the first time and it ends with marines the united states marine corps taking fallujah in the
00:31:17.160
the second battle of fallujah which is as you know one of the most intense battles the marine
00:31:21.480
corps has uh has fought uh michael hang on for a second um do you have a clip with um oh by the
00:31:26.840
way let me go to general um renford you're going to a bunch you said there's it's the marine corps
00:31:32.840
birthday celebration season there's tons of dinners tonight we're going to be covering the one in
00:31:38.600
philadelphia with some vietnam veterans talk to us about that you're going to go to some of these
00:31:43.480
dinners tonight why why do you guys call it a celebration season well it's just i've been to
00:31:50.520
three marine corps balls already been the guest of honor two of them and i'm going to a fourth
00:31:55.240
celebration tonight it's just because you have to you have to parcel it out to when you can get
00:32:02.200
involved with all your buddies and come together and i and steve if i can mention it the segment you're
00:32:07.560
just talking about earlier you know it's funny you have me on the show because uh i was actually the
00:32:12.520
operations officer regimental combat team one when those contractors were drug drug through the
00:32:17.720
streets i had to provide uh give guidance provide a military response to bring those guys out and uh
00:32:23.800
hence started the first battle of fallujah uh you think back to those days and you remember those
00:32:29.480
times during this time as our marine corps birthday and um and in our marines we come together and we we
00:32:35.640
honor those have gone before us it's not memorial day we don't forget those have gone before us but we
00:32:40.600
also celebrate and tonight we're celebrating uh with the travis manion foundation down in um
00:32:47.480
morton steakhouse in washington dc last year i went to spark steakhouse in new york city large uh
00:32:54.840
contingent of marines and today i've received messages and facetimes from all my marines in
00:33:00.600
philadelphia that are just you better be careful and bring the cops out because they're going to burn that
00:33:05.800
place down as celebratory it's gonna be like an eagle super bowl win you you could tell the uh
00:33:15.480
the um the the uh veterans the vietnam veterans have have gotten on in years but man they're still
00:33:21.880
just as feisty as they've ever been uh the reason michael made the film you know at first pbs when he
00:33:28.600
was at pbs under the bush administration left they gave him money to to go make a film he's going to make
00:33:34.040
a film about high tech how high tech how technology had changed warfare forever and as he did his
00:33:40.040
research general he came back he said hey i think i'm gonna make another film what's that he says
00:33:45.000
the really the door-to-door combat of the of the of the rifle platoons the the ncos uh these young
00:33:52.760
infantrymen and particularly the junior officers the second lieutenants first lieutenants and captains
00:33:57.720
they got to fight a new type of urban warfare and i think that that is what's so stunning about
00:34:02.280
this film is that it actually shows what marines do every day and in and when they're in in action
00:34:08.680
and it's the power in the audience is because you hear about the marines and all the legendary
00:34:12.760
victories and some of that's faded in memory and time and it's hey this is just as as real and i'll
00:34:18.760
talk in a moment to michael who's making a new film uh about afghanistan the withdrawal and particularly
00:34:24.200
a big focus is those young marines that were at abbey gate uh so general give me a second on just
00:34:30.520
fallujah itself because that was really something that started a sequence of some of the biggest
00:34:35.720
battles in the iraq war yeah it was really incredible so we went over there thinking
00:34:41.720
that we're in a different phase of the iraqi war we were going to pass out soccer balls
00:34:46.200
shake hands and they were all going to love us and then uh it was really surreal when the blackwater
00:34:51.480
contractors were drug through the streets there it changed all the dynamics it changed everything
00:34:56.760
it was a wake-up call really for all of us involved and then it really started uh
00:35:02.120
uh a domino effect of just uh years and years of war and i think it started right there that day
00:35:09.000
uh we had to quickly respond we had to encircle the city we had to put pressure on the people of
00:35:14.680
fallujah to bring those contractors back out and uh bring their remains uh back home but it was uh
00:35:20.840
uh a really really incredible time and since then hell i went back uh four more times you know as a
00:35:28.360
battalion commander as a task force commander and then uh two more times in afghanistan so it was just
00:35:34.760
a vortex of uh service that we all just got caught up into and um and the marines you know i think at
00:35:41.800
a certain point uh they didn't really didn't really matter what the mission was what mattered most is that
00:35:48.280
they were there with each other that they loved each other that they were going to do anything for
00:35:51.880
each other so god bless the marine corps that can actually create those kind of people uh that is
00:35:57.880
going to focus on taking care of each other no matter the mission general hang on hang for a second
00:36:04.280
fantastic uh admiral sunny masso joins us sunny uh tomorrow you're you're booked all day on veterans
00:36:10.120
day but i wanted to get this in to talk about your podcast about naval history and also what you're doing
00:36:15.640
on about this uh museum so walk us toward for a second yes sir uh in 1961 our cno very famous uh
00:36:26.920
gentleman uh arley burke admiral arley burke uh declared that we needed to have a national navy museum
00:36:35.240
and it took us all this time we're the last of the services the army brought uh created a brilliant
00:36:40.920
museum as in the marine corps museum as fabulous uh medal of honor lots of different uh museums but
00:36:49.400
we have been lagging behind on that so we're involved in a project of which i'm the president
00:36:55.080
we call our organization the national navy museum foundation and we're embarked in a fundraising campaign
00:37:03.480
to raise a sufficient amount of funds to really uh capture the essence of our navy over the past 250
00:37:11.880
years now we believe that the story of our nation is also the story of our navy and so this will be an
00:37:18.840
artifact centric lots of great artifacts but with stories of leadership heroics strategic history things of
00:37:29.400
this nature and then culminating as well in education programs for our inner city youth but also uh projects
00:37:38.120
for our high-end schools uh where we can uh you know teach thermodynamics and things of this nature
00:37:46.040
in a navy centric way wow fantastic where do people do we have a clip uh from this let's go and play the clip
00:38:19.720
so admiral masso where do people go today to find out more information about the museum you guys
00:38:25.240
this kickoff effort yes sir we have a uh thank you for asking that we have a website nmdf national
00:38:34.440
uh museum development foundation nmdf.org you can donate uh right on the front page you can't miss
00:38:42.360
it and it'll it'll kind of lay out you know what our goals and aspirations are but uh this project's been
00:38:49.160
going on for a long time we're uh we're very optimistic about our future and hope in uh 2030
00:38:55.800
to be able to open the doors to a really magnificent experience for mom dad and the kids as well as
00:39:02.280
veterans and anybody that has an appreciation for our national history and our military services
00:39:09.560
amen uh your podcast you do a podcast on naval history where can people where can people get it
00:39:14.360
yeah for for many years for five years i was the uh executive director of the naval historical
00:39:21.240
foundation and i have about 84 or so pieces of content i had a monthly program called um
00:39:30.200
called second saturday so it was the nhf naval historical foundation second saturday and we really
00:39:37.000
tackled every major issue including fun topics like uh you know athletes who served in world war ii
00:39:45.080
and uh and we really uh we drilled down one of our most popular uh pieces of content is on the
00:39:51.560
thresher the uss thresher disaster and uh and and it's an homage but it's a historical perspective
00:39:59.560
of it as well but i think uh people uh we've had a lot of viewers and you can just go to youtube
00:40:06.200
and look up nhf second saturday and you can find all of our content okay we'll push it out today
00:40:13.480
uh sunny do you have a uh do you have twitter do you have a social media we can track you on
00:40:18.600
uh i actually i do not i i regret that so uh but no i don't but i but i will now i will i will get
00:40:26.440
that down but if i if you may just one more one more second i just want to say what an honor it is
00:40:32.680
to follow major general renforth and uh i don't think there's another naval officer around who
00:40:39.960
is as close to the marine corps as i might be because i grew up at the north gate of camp
00:40:44.520
pendleton and you've been to my home in san clemenny and uh and i learned how to drive on
00:40:50.360
camp pendleton i played my first round of golf got my first speeding ticket you know so i i'm a i'm a
00:40:56.600
a devil dog and a you know and i was a devil pup by the way and uh general renforth can tell you
00:41:02.520
what a devil pup was but uh i love the marine corps i wish him a warm and wonderful day and it is a
00:41:09.240
season and they have so many reasons to be proud and we as naval officers have so many reasons to
00:41:15.000
thank them for their contributions to everything we did well somebody said that when i did uh we you
00:41:22.120
you were with us on the navy 250 we did the marine corps 250 on that saturday so many friends of

00:41:33.240

00:41:39.800
sonny masso thank you sir appreciate it we're gonna go out with the marine corps him we'll be back in a
00:41:47.080
moment major general renford's with us michael pack tasia gill is going to join us all next in the war room
00:43:17.080
They aggressively engage everyone you owe money to in September, and here's why.
00:43:22.780
They know which lenders and credit card companies are doing year-end accounting and need to cut deals.
00:43:28.040
They even know which ones have year-end audits and need to get your debt off the books quickly.
00:43:34.180
That means you need to get started with Done With Debt now.
00:43:37.520

00:43:58.600

00:44:12.140
General Renford, thank you so much for joining us this morning.
00:44:14.740
Look forward to having you back on topics of geopolitics and other things maybe the core are involved in.
00:44:22.460
Can our audience, our audience would love to start to follow you?
00:44:26.880
Yeah, so what I do, Stephen, is I'm an advisor for a couple companies, so I normally do their social media.
00:44:33.440
But I have LinkedIn, which is easy enough to find me with my name.
00:44:41.620
I usually just retweet things on Twitter so I don't really get too involved.
00:44:45.820
When I was on active duty, I was super careful about what I put out there because in any given moment, I didn't land mine.
00:44:51.580
So I'm starting to back off of that a little bit now that I'm retired, but I try to live by the rule.
00:44:58.400
If I wasn't willing to say it on active duty, I don't really want to say it now, but it's not necessarily true.
00:45:05.420
Well, we'd love to have you on talking about geopolitics.
00:45:08.240
General, great, great day, 250 in the season of the celebration of the birth of one of the greatest institutions the United States has ever created, the United States Marine Corps.
00:45:25.740
Michael Pack, we had the general who was overseeing it in First Fallujah.
00:45:31.600
I know you're working on something about Afghanistan Abbey Gate.
00:45:36.500
You're going to be with me from 5 to 7, these great Marines, one more time.
00:45:40.760
Because as the War Room engine room has notified me, PBS is not going out of their way to promote this film.
00:45:49.520
I'm shocked after 17 years, and I'll tell the heroic story of Michael.
00:45:54.240
I'm so honored today to have Ed Martin, Eric Prince, and Michael Pack, and they are three warriors of our movement.
00:46:02.040
What these guys have gone through, how they tormented these three individuals, just extraordinary.
00:46:10.900
They can go to michaelpack underscore on X, but they're better off really going to our websites.
00:46:18.240
The older films are on manifoldproductions.com, and the newer films are palladiumpictures.com.
00:46:26.060
So both of those, and they can apply to our incubator if they or anyone in the audience knows a young filmmaker who needs money to make a short film.
00:46:34.680
So, and all our news and updates are really on those two websites.
00:46:45.100
Somehow the War Room has been plugging me more aggressively than PBS.
00:46:53.500
But it's still something that they put us on after 17 years.
00:46:59.700
