In this episode, we discuss the Democratic Party s attempt to delegitimize the First Amendment and turn the military into a political arm of the ruling class. We also hear from a father whose son served in the military, and whose son is now in the Air Force.
00:00:18.000They want some kind of an insurrection.
00:00:20.000When they didn't get one, they just said there was an insurrection.
00:00:24.000They want to do that because they want to turn you a law-abiding citizen into a criminal, and they want criminals to become a new voter base.
00:00:30.000To the left, it is not about just politics.
00:00:33.000And for proof, look at Bernie Sanders.
00:02:39.000And I asked him, I said, I'm curious why you joined the Army and became an infantryman and not a chaplain if you're a man of God and that is your passion is being a pastor.
00:02:50.000And he said, well, I joined the Army to do Army things.
00:02:57.000Because we want, when we picture joining the army, we picture actually doing the fighting, going to battle and all that.
00:03:03.000So if that's something that he's interested in, he wants to be the person that they look to for actual combat, then there's lots of combat arms.
00:03:11.000And I would recommend something like the Army or the Marine Corps or if they have multi-talented.
00:03:20.000If they really are interested in doing some really cool stuff, some special operations stuff, then every service branch has combat operators that do those things and they have different specialties.
00:03:46.000But no, I would say you got to look at their interests, what they're interested in outside of the military afterwards, because there's lots of different job specialties that you can do afterwards that are really specific to your job in the military.
00:03:59.000You want to work on, if you want to work on technology, the Navy or the Air Force might be a great spot for you because they have some of the best aerospace technology in the Air Force and some of the best naval technology in the Navy.
00:04:13.000If you want to pull triggers, the Marine Corps of the Army, and I recommend the Army because you do get more choice at the initial spot.
00:04:20.000The Marine Corps, you can choose a, somebody in chat could probably correct me, but you can choose a field, I believe, based on your ASVAB score.
00:04:27.000So you choose a field and then they kind of assign a job to you based on that field.
00:04:31.000In the Army, you get to actually pick your job if you have a high enough ASVAB, which I think 83 is high enough to be able to choose pretty much any job.
00:04:38.000There's some jobs that require over 90, maybe like Intel specialists or maybe some kind of technical jobs.
00:04:44.000But for most jobs, 83 is going to be able to let you choose.
00:04:48.000So, yeah, you get really a lot of choice in the Army.
00:04:50.000Marine Corps is also pulling triggers, but less choice.
00:04:53.000Was it the ASVABs that you scored like a 94 on?
00:06:04.000He was an officer and was an Army Ranger for the war.
00:06:07.000I'm not even sure if he was a Ranger, if he just has a Ranger tab.
00:06:10.000It's a very big distinction that most people don't understand.
00:06:13.000But when he was making that sedition video, which is what I call it now, when he was making a sedition video, I was just like, dude, every Army Ranger is watching this, laughing at you and calling you a pussy.
00:06:35.000Have leftists saluted themselves enough with their contradictory obsession with perceived harms, or is it all just manipulation to get votes?
00:06:43.000I don't fully understand the question, but it's definitely all just a manipulation.
00:06:57.000The fact that you have seen actual Palestine flags next to rainbow flags, it tells you that these people have not thought this through.
00:07:04.000And it explains to you why they don't show up to defend their opinions, to defend their positions.
00:07:09.000And it also tells you why I don't count, generally speaking, I'm very, very hesitant to count someone amongst our ranks as a conservative if they follow the same tact.
00:07:19.000If they throw out and ask questions and accusations and they don't show up to defend it ever, well, we're not the party, the umbrella, the political wing that does that.
00:07:29.000We're the ones who've always sort of focused on debate, on arguing our position because we believe in them as stronger.
00:07:37.000It doesn't mean, by the way, that you can't be caught flat-footed against someone who has ideas that are worse than you and they're a very, very skilled debater.
00:07:43.000But as a general rule, historically, conservatives, and certainly all the way through the 20th century to today, we have been very much championing at the bit to have debates and conversations, and the left avoids them.
00:07:55.000You really only see them come out for a debate out of necessity before the general elections.
00:08:01.000I mean, we saw one even remotely hostile.
00:08:05.000And by that, I mean slight pushback interview with Kamala Harris, and it was Brett Baer, and she absolutely fell apart.
00:08:10.000You go back before that, Joe Biden didn't do any, right?
00:10:28.000In the United States, ICE is taking people here who shouldn't be here legally and sending them back to their country of origin, which, by the way, is just as equal as the United States because all cultures are equal.
00:10:53.000As a matter of fact, they're actually paying for their flights.
00:10:55.000And if you don't so bother the Gestapo, sorry, I mean, ICE, if you actually just self-deport and go through the legal process, you actually get $1,000 cash.
00:12:09.000There's nothing wrong with using a different language than English as your primary language in your house.
00:12:13.000If you speak English and you use English where English is necessary, like the grocery store or like, I don't know, the bank or when you vote.
00:12:22.000It doesn't have to be like perfect either.
00:12:23.000Yeah, I have no problem with somebody speaking another language in their home.
00:12:26.000I have no problem with somebody being proud of their heritage and teaching their kids, hey, you need to speak Spanish because we come from Mexico and that's our heritage and you know how to speak to your grandma.
00:12:51.000They do the service in both Armenian and English, so it's very, very long.
00:12:55.000It's actually quite a good example of people who come here who are very, very proud to be American and also preserve their culture as far as food, as far as traditions, but it melds with American culture.
00:13:08.000At no point would they feel wronged with the expectation of speaking English.
00:13:13.000So maybe you could clarify if you mean it's their primary language or they don't speak English.
00:14:19.000But if you operate under the pretense that we're not going to abolish the IRS when we still have an FBI telling us that crooks had no digital footprint, there's quite a ways to go.
00:14:31.000Also, nobody's put forward a very good plan except for the 999 plan that was put forward on like what Community can replace it with essentially because there's a fair tax, there's a flat tax.
00:14:40.000It has to be replaced with something that we'll have to pay taxes.
00:15:41.000But most of his wealth is tied up in stock.
00:15:43.000They're like, well, that's just how the rich do it.
00:15:44.000Okay, well, then go put everything on the line and build a company.
00:15:47.000Also, he paid $11 billion in taxes personally in one year, the largest tax bill ever paid.
00:15:55.000I don't care what he did the four years prior.
00:15:58.000I don't care what he did the 10 years prior.
00:16:00.000I actually think, and I know this will never happen, in principle, you should pay a lot, if anything, pay a lower percentage the more you make.
00:16:06.000And we should have incentives to invest.
00:16:09.000We should have tax incentives and breaks to start businesses.
00:16:12.000There should be a break in taxes for every person you employ as opposed to punitive taxes for growth.
00:16:21.000I believe in the flat tax, but I think that there's people more educated and smarter than me that might have a reason why it wouldn't work.
00:16:40.000Yeah, it's like within 16 to 21%, and it pretty much averages around 18%.
00:16:46.000So when our top marginal tax rates were 90%, right, nobody actually paid that versus when they were at their lowest, that still ends up being a remarkably consistent amount of revenue.
00:16:56.000As far as income tax, something people didn't take into account is the tariffs generating a ton of revenue.
00:17:02.000That's not really something that you feel, though, as Americans.
00:17:11.000Yeah, but I don't think that's going to happen.
00:17:13.000I mean, the real reason that we're not really concerned with paying off our debt is a lot of it is held by China, and they have more debt per person than we do.
00:17:20.000So it's like at a certain point, it's just going to be a Mexican standoff.
00:20:17.000And by the way, that's how we enter into all relationships.
00:20:20.000And at some point in time, people thought that carrying your own weight meant that it wasn't love, like it's transactional.
00:20:31.000No, once you're in a, let's just use an example, like relationships.
00:20:35.000Once you're in a relationship, of course, it's not entirely transactional.
00:20:39.000Of course, you're there to support each other, right?
00:20:40.000That's why we say for richer or poor, better or worse.
00:20:43.000And if you marry somebody who is the breadwinner and they get into a car accident and they're now disabled, of course you're not going to leave them because they're not able to provide that transaction.
00:20:53.000But nobody enters into a relationship, friendship, intimate relationship, or a relationship between nations, unless that relationship makes both parties better.
00:21:05.000That's the primary criteria in entering a relationship.
00:21:10.000You don't go, hey, if I marry this woman, I'm going to be worse off.
00:21:17.000Or if I marry this man, I'm going to be worse off.
00:21:19.000It's why women don't marry dead beats.
00:21:21.000And it's why men typically don't want to marry caustic women.
00:22:27.000They'll tell you that you're supposed to be loyal to all citizens, to all members of the community in Charlotte, even though some literally aren't citizens of this country.
00:22:37.000They haven't actually sworn any allegiance to it.
00:22:40.000And they're not even loyal enough to you to learn your freaking language.
00:25:18.000I would agree with you if you were talking about a relationship between two men, like a friendship, because I think men are better at separating.
00:25:24.000Like, okay, we're never going to agree on this.
00:25:25.000Like me and Gerald and Transformers 4.
00:25:39.000But in a relationship, like a relationship that is going to be leading to marriage, a huge component of that, I would imagine, as a man is support.
00:25:50.000And so if this is something you're obviously passionate about, this is part of the very fiber of your being, and she takes no interest or gets defensive.
00:26:00.000It would be one thing if you got into a relationship.
00:26:02.000And this is why I say I don't have all the variables here.
00:26:04.000If you got into a relationship and you weren't engaged yet and she didn't really take an interest in politics and she said both sides are bad, and then you spoke about it and she said, well, you know, okay, maybe that'll give me something to think about, right?
00:26:17.000Like, you know, you introduce a woman to new movies or new foods and you find her like, oh, oh, wow, okay, you know what?
00:26:22.000I like this thing that you brought to the table.
00:26:23.000And I'm glad you introduced me to this.
00:26:25.000But she knows it's very important to you and it's never not going to be important to you.
00:26:30.000And if she gets quiet and or defensive, that to me is partially a signal that she is unwilling to support you in something that if you believe is important to you will become a friction point.
00:26:43.000If it didn't matter to you, if it wasn't something that was foundational to you, then okay, fine.
00:26:50.000But she is making a judgment, meaning put yourself in her shoes.
00:27:13.000What are the things he needs support in?
00:27:15.000I would imagine the things that get you most impassioned, your foundational views, which are probably going to dictate some of your actions, right?
00:27:22.000You'll probably be politically active.
00:27:24.000It'll probably include a lot of the content, news that you consume.
00:27:28.000And she's going, no, I don't care about it, so I'm not going to take part.
00:27:33.000You've now cut out a big chunk of your life that you can't share.
00:27:37.000She's making the judgment that I'm not willing to either learn about it enough to understand why you are passionate about it or care about it enough.
00:27:47.000But if it really, really matters to you, and I would say this, it's something that's pretty important.
00:27:53.000It's not like if it really matters to you and it's pickleball, and she goes, her support is go play pickleball, right?
00:27:58.000She doesn't need to take part in that.
00:28:00.000But if this really, really matters to you and it is something that is kind of consequential and she has decided that she won't make it matter to her, the reason that she has decided she won't make it matter to her, I think could be a serious friction point.
00:28:17.000And I think you should ask her about it.
00:28:20.000If this is important to you, again, assuming that, I would bring it up with her and say, hey, look, this is something that you obviously see I'm really passionate about and matters to me a lot.
00:28:30.000And I would imagine if you're watching right now in Rumble Premium, you're probably pretty educated on it and you probably could help teach her about it.
00:28:58.000And are you at least willing to engage in reasoning your position as to what you believe and why and us discussing it?
00:29:05.000Because if she's not going to discuss it, if she falls silent and gets defensive, that's a huge chunk of your life that you now have to just cut out and you only share with other people, not your wife.
00:29:15.000And that's never a good place, in my opinion, if it's something that is foundational to you.
00:29:20.000Were you about to say there's something, a clarifying thing, Noodles?
00:30:30.000But if you don't sit down and say, hey, this is a really important conversation for me, am I coming about this the wrong way?
00:30:35.000Like, am I approaching this conversation the wrong way?
00:30:37.000Do we just disagree on some fundamental issues?
00:30:40.000If they are truly big, fundamental issues, not like I like Republicans more than I like Democrats or vice versa, then you have to talk about them.
00:30:48.000And I don't think you get equally yoked with somebody who completely disagrees on major, major decisions.
00:30:54.000Not every one of these political things is major.
00:31:40.000Women think they don't take an interest, but the message has constantly been not just, we're not just talking about women's rights, but you are perfect.
00:32:00.000Now, I would say there have been a lot of negative messages, obviously, targeted towards men.
00:32:03.000Men have a different accountability structure where if a man, for example, is conservative, if he is a Christian, that enclave will protect him or they will hold him accountable.
00:32:12.000And that's more powerful than the message coming from Hollywood or the media.
00:32:26.000The default position of an apolitical woman is going to be further to the left than the default position of a man.
00:32:34.000And I would take that into account and ask her about those issues because you don't want to be blindsided by those once you get to the point of having children and deciding how to raise them.
