On this episode of the podcast, we have our first guest on the show, a man who has been in the military for over 20 years. He is a veteran of the U.S. Army, a combat veteran, and has been involved in the fight against the Taliban. We talk about his experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq, his views on Islam and the culture there, and what it means to be a Muslim.
00:00:14.000Yeah, and you were saying something earlier.
00:00:16.000You're saying they might call it, they might call you Islamophobic or racist or whatever, because you have these views about that's that's not it.
00:00:25.000Guys like me, we've been telling you guys this for decades, literally decades.
00:00:29.000People have been in Afghanistan, Iraq, that area.
00:00:32.000We've been telling you for decades what this culture is like, what it brings, and for decades we've been called racist for it.
00:02:07.000And at the end of it, the village elder, who happened to be the father of the IED cell leader that we are after and killed, he was not pissed about his son being killed.
00:02:55.000You get out of the city and you get into villages and it is run by village elders and you have to follow whatever the religion says, whatever Islam says, whatever the Taliban at the time, whatever they said, or whatever their leaders were saying.
00:03:06.000And I don't have TVs and they don't have the internet in a lot of these places.
00:03:09.000You know, the cities like Kabul, Candle, are they guys?
00:08:01.000Who I guess might be somewhere down in my lineage.
00:08:02.000Like, there's a reason those people think of him as a hero, even though he put human beings on spikes to the point of human cornfields and would allegedly the rumor, right, the legends that he would dip his bread in their blood so that if people, if the if these Islamic soldiers were coming in, they would have to walk through rows of their friends and see this sadist.
00:08:22.000And he said it was the only language they understood.
00:08:24.000Vlad the Impaler was basically, I'm trying to remember if he was sold or as part of a trade as kind of like collateral where he had to live with an Islamic royal family and his brother sort of assimilated.
00:09:09.000he's got this one incident throughout history let's look at and i agree with you a hundred percent it The Crusades are not what people think.
00:09:15.000How has Christianity spread since the very beginning in almost every single case?
00:09:20.000Is it through people coming in and by violence of force doing any of that?
00:11:26.000If corrupt judges stay in power, how can we fight getting undesirables like Muslims and other parasitic groups slash terrorists out of America?
00:11:33.000That's where an ounce of prevention is worth 10,000 pounds of cure.
00:11:38.000You want to keep these judges out, and you want to be aware.
00:11:40.000You want to be vigilant before that happens.
00:12:07.000And a lot of them, like, for example, in areas of Texas, you have someone who's technically voted on, but they're the only judge on that ticket.
00:12:12.000There's also magistrates who make judge decisions like a regular judge would, but they're not a judge, not even a lawyer.
00:12:25.000I don't fully understand how it works, but I do know that you have a lot of sway in your local judges and your circuit courts, and you can vote.
00:12:31.000And vigilance is more important, prevention.
00:12:34.000In other words, if right now, I don't know that you'll fix Minneapolis.
00:12:38.000I don't know that you'll fix Dearborn.
00:12:40.000So you have to prevent that from happening because unfortunately, once, and this is the playbook of Islam, once they overrun you population-wise, in the United States, being a freedom-minded country, we don't really have the mechanisms in place to retroactively fix it.
00:12:57.000That's why you've got to stop it from happening.
00:12:59.000That's the George Washington ideas is to prevent your enemy before he posts.
00:13:02.000Because it's nearly impossible to remove him once he does.
00:14:02.000Okay, well, I'll make this, and then we'll make one more chat after this.
00:14:04.000I will say, I don't know, and I do think that sometimes, if you look at it, there is an argument to be made that the deportations in some cases or where they sort of ignore sectors where it may be warranted, and that can be because of some leverage or lobbying.
00:14:20.000People talk about that, like in the big tech sphere, we sort of have gone into H-1Bs because that would be something that could be easily rated because there's so much fraud.
00:15:49.000I mean, I'm a comedian, so I'm on the road a lot on the weekends, but when I'm not on the road, I just hang out at home with the kids and I do housework, yard work, play sports with the kids and video games with my kids.
00:16:42.000As far as for fun, man, like I, again, the dad of three young kids, and so you spend a lot of time with your family, and that's a lot of fun.
00:16:47.000Like, I think a lot of people have this view, like, oh, your life ends.
00:17:19.000I mean, I'm, yeah, we all do hang out to varying degrees because we're here.
00:17:23.000And then sometimes even you're done with work, but then you'll just find yourself in a chat.
00:17:26.000I mean, I'll see very often, you know, Toolman, Gerald, or a group of people in this studio gym here.
00:17:32.000As far as personally, if I'm not hanging out with people from work, you know, that's one thing that I've struggled with a little bit since the surgery, the elective cosmetic surgery of three titanium rods through my chest.
00:17:45.000Yeah, I can't do jiu-jitsu or any of the actual athletic endeavors beyond training, and even that's limited.
00:17:50.000And it kind of took that away from me because that was something I was always pretty passionate about, pretty enthusiastic about.
00:17:56.000And, you know, sometimes you have injuries and you have to stop.
00:17:58.000But usually I was really for the last good few years, either jiu-jitsu or boxing, whichever one I could do, depending on the injury at that point in time.
00:18:07.000I don't have as many hobbies as I used to because generally speaking, my hobbies, kind of like Pop Scratch, have been all-encompassing, right?
00:18:31.000Like I talked about recently, Stalin and Trotsky.
00:18:33.000And then I realized I've wasted a huge swath of time because it's two assholes fighting the end.
00:18:38.000So that's something I've always been passionate about.
00:18:40.000I also think it's because there was such a void because I learned zero American history in Canadian public schools and very little about global history if it related to communism because I was raised in a socialist province.
00:18:55.000So learning is something I'm always pretty passionate about.
00:18:57.000I will say I've been going to the range more because I'm like, well, if I can't really do grappling or any of the combat sports, hey, at least I can get better at shooting a gun.
00:19:41.000It's very few in the gun hobbyist community.
00:19:42.000They all are like, you're taking your life in your hands if you don't use a red dot.
00:19:44.000And with a lot of security we have, a lot of these people are, you know, have been high-level military.
00:19:49.000It's been my experience that the significant majority of them prefer to not have dots on pistols or at best think it's a wash, but on rifles, absolutely, it's a huge advantage.
00:20:00.000And then, of course, obviously, like most of my time is, I'm a homebody.
00:20:03.000And then with the, you know, with the kids, family, anytime we can do that, like pretty much goes from work, boom, home, family.
00:20:10.000And then I'll just watch, you know, a movie or read something that that is informative and inspirational.
00:20:16.000And the crazy thing is, like, a lot of people, this is one thing, too, I've thought about this where you'll get a lot of, I would say, particularly in the era of Instagram and TikTok, like women, like, look, I want to travel.
00:20:31.000Of course, I like going out with family or a nice dinner.
00:20:34.000But if you think about it, people throughout all of human history, like if you could be comfortable and not have to be out hunting all day and you didn't have to be nomadic and you had a healthy family and you had healthy children and you had food on the table and you also were able to engage in joyous, like think of Christmas.
00:20:54.000People had a duck and some family members around a table with a fire and they might play some board game that usually consisted of some kinds of wooden blocks that everyone would leave with splinters, right?
00:21:04.000And that was considered like the ultimate.
00:21:06.000And now that's frowned upon as, oh, well, that's boring.
00:21:10.000I guess I'm really just kind of happy being boring.
00:21:12.000I actually prefer it and I've always been that way.
00:21:15.000And I don't think there's anything wrong with boring, provided you're still, you know, sharpening your tools physically, mentally, spiritually.
00:21:57.000I'm like, I should probably know like everything about this.
00:22:00.000That's what happened with Stalin and Trotsky recently.
00:22:02.000And then I was just one point kind of reading and understanding like, okay, so Trotsky just sort of disagreed with the mechanisms in place and basically thought, and then I was like, no one gives a shit about this.
00:22:11.000I was like, these are two communists, and they basically were arguing over whose communism was better, and they both suck.
00:22:16.000And so sometimes you can go down a rabbit hole and it maybe isn't productive.
00:22:21.000Now, I'm glad that I have that knowledge.
00:22:23.000I don't know how much I'll retain because it's tough.
00:22:26.000If I don't, there's no side that I can like emphasize.
00:22:51.000So I can feel good knowing that he suffered.
00:22:53.000And I can feel good knowing that I pretty much just live a boring, simple life.
00:22:56.000And I think, hey, people often say what's most important is your health, family, faith, family, health, and down the list.
00:23:03.000And most people don't live that because they'll say that.
00:23:06.000Then they'll go, ooh, I want to go on another trip and post it for the grand.
00:23:09.000Well, that doesn't seem like you're placing your focus on family.
00:23:12.000And I think a lot of people out there, a lot of young men in particular, feel that there are these expectations and being boring means you're uninteresting or means that you're unambitious.
00:23:24.000As a matter of fact, I will say most of the hyperly ambitious people that I know, when they are not sort of in their purpose, honing their craft, doing their business, they're almost all uniformly boring.
00:23:38.000And I'm always glad to hang out with people here.
00:23:39.000It really is much closer to everyone says that.
00:23:42.000Like it's like a family, but we are much closer here because you know we're really kind of been forged in the fire and it's much more meaningful.
00:23:50.000Like there are easier places to work than here for sure.
00:23:52.000If someone is here beyond that six-month mark, it's not because it's the easiest job, they're here because they believe in it.
00:23:58.000And that goes a long way, and that's why we all hang out with each other.
00:24:01.000And we're happy to spend that time with you.
00:24:04.000I want to let people know who they're going to Devori or Devery Devery Darkens.
00:24:12.000If you're watching, we're going to send you over to him and we'll see you tomorrow, especially because you're OG Rumble Premium Mug Club tomorrow, Friday show, just for you.
