Louder with Crowder - UNDERCOVER EXCLUSIVE: Exposing DEI in the United States Military

00:00:00.000 🎵 Music 🎵 Hey, glad to be with you.

00:00:24.000 We're about to get to the show in a second.

00:00:28.000 I know that many of you are aware this is Military Appreciation Month, and tonight is a special stream because we've, I don't want to say stumbled, because the Mug Club Undercover crew, and none of this happens without you.

00:00:40.000 There's a story tonight, some hidden camera footage, that involves someone very high up in the military, several people actually, the DEI initiatives.

00:00:48.000 We're there knowingly making your country and the people who serve it, people who put themselves in harm's way, less safe, less capable.

00:00:59.000 So I just want to kind of put one thing at the front of your mind here tonight.

00:01:03.000 It's very easy to say DEI and it becomes a talking point.

00:01:06.000 You'll hear this man, by the way, talk about DEI.

00:01:08.000 He's effectively the head of the department in the military and talks about its irrelevancy all on camera, mind you.

00:01:14.000 It's not just about DEI.

00:01:15.000 It's not about how silly it is because of the gender bender and LGBTQ AIP that none of it has anything to do with fighting effectively and breaking things and defending your country and being capable of going to war. 0.99

00:01:28.000 It's not lost on me that I have never been to war.

00:01:30.000 I appreciate those who have.

00:01:32.000 This is about making the other guy, the other woman, the other person Out there in your squad, your brigade, your platoon, whatever term we need to use here, your teammate when you go out there to war, your brother, your sister-in-arms, less safe, because we've decided to place on the almighty altar the god of diversity, equity, and inclusion, where it has no business playing a role at all.

00:01:58.000 So I want you to put yourself tonight, and we will have many people here representing military charities and veterans to continue Military Appreciation Month.

00:02:06.000 I want you to put yourself in the shoes of someone out there in the field of battle, knowing that the person next to you is less qualified, is less capable, has no business being there, but is there anyway because someone, not holding a gun, but someone holding a pen in an office decided that that was more important than your life.

00:02:28.000 Because it is a cancer in our military right now, and it is, I would argue, the primary reason for our military recruiting shortfall.

00:02:36.000 So we'll get to all of that and more.

00:02:37.000 None of this happens without you.

00:02:40.000 I would ask that you consider joining, $89 annually, Mug Club, loudearthcutter.com slash Mug Club.

00:02:44.000 You get this show every day, a full 100% more show, Nick DiPaolo show.

00:02:49.000 I mean, there are a multitude of programs that you get to watch, but more importantly, It's what allows this to continue, Mug Club Undercover, and this month, you know, it is Military Appreciation Month.

00:02:59.000 I haven't seen it trending, but we are offering a promo code tonight, only USA20, and you can get $20 off your Mug Club membership tonight only, and 10% of all the proceeds will be going to military charities with whom we are working directly, and we'll be highlighting some of those tonight.

00:03:23.000 At least, you know what, let's put a cap.

00:03:25.000 At least up to $10,000, personally.

00:03:28.000 I mean, I'm not the planter's peanuts guy.

00:03:32.000 On with the show.

00:03:35.000 When the first missile hits the first side of the first DEG, what's it going to matter?

00:03:40.000 Diversity, equity, and inclusion will just be out the window.

00:03:45.000 Look, this is a little bit different tonight.

00:03:48.000 And let me tell you exactly why it's different.

00:03:49.000 Mug Club Undercover is about to expose something involving high-level military personnel that will shock you.

00:03:57.000 We may end up speaking Chinese.

00:04:00.000 What?

00:04:00.000 We may end up speaking Chinese.

00:04:03.000 I mean, let's be honest.

00:04:04.000 If we have a Republican in office, it will bolster our military.

00:04:08.000 If we have a Democrat, it'll continue to just be the make do with what you have, you know, kind of, you know, slap things together, put duct tape on it, that kind of stuff.

00:04:20.000 Or Chinese, that kind of thing.

00:04:22.000 And I'm a Democrat.

00:04:23.000 We'll be featuring military guests and also providing updates on your impact in your community, how you can help real American heroes.

00:04:30.000 And it's still all part of our Military Appreciation Month.

00:04:33.000 We'll be working with military charities, finding the best ones.

00:04:36.000 Get ready for a Mug Club mega live stream.

00:04:39.000 Join Mug Club, the entire Louder With Crowder crew, special guests Nick DiPaolo and more to support our troops,

00:05:28.000 Thanks for watching.

00:05:30.000 you Tell me about Mug Club!

00:05:34.000 Why do they still operate on YouTube?

00:05:36.000 A lot of free content for a premium service!

00:05:40.000 Mug Club was created for the people to join and support authentic creator-generated content.

00:05:49.000 They will sign up.

00:05:50.000 I will show YouTube where I have made our home while preparing to bring justice.

00:05:56.000 and then move on to our final step.

00:05:58.000 I will show YouTube where I have made our home

00:06:03.000 while preparing to bring justice.

00:06:06.000 Then my club will break you.

00:06:10.000 Of course!

00:06:18.000 They are the reason this has become the most unwelcome video platform on Earth.

00:06:23.000 Oh Oh.

00:06:26.000 When YouTube and social media giants truly understood the depths of their failure, Mug Club will fulfill its destiny. 1.00

00:06:38.000 We will destroy liberalism.

00:06:40.000 Of course.

00:06:41.000 And then, when it is done, and YouTube is...

00:06:48.000 I see. 0.98

00:06:50.000 Then you have my permission to die. 0.95

00:06:56.000 My club is YouTube's reckoning. 1.00

00:06:59.000 You are... pure evil. 0.98

00:07:03.000 My club is necessary evil. 0.98

00:07:04.000 Let me tell you the truth about YouTube's guidelines.

00:07:19.000 Content that is not advertiser friendly and thus not YouTube friendly includes, but is not limited to, sexually suggestive content, violence, harassment, promotion of drug use, and finally, Controversial subjects.

00:07:40.000 We, active members of Mug Club, will take YouTube from the corrupt. 0.87

00:08:01.000 For the Mug Club Army will be raised. 0.98

00:08:05.000 The powerful will be ripped from their digital safe spaces and cast out into the growing free speech world that we know and endure.

00:09:57.000 And this will take days and nights.

00:10:01.000 In this election season, every non-progressive will put more undercover agents in the ground across this great nation.

00:10:13.000 Ensuring a free and fair election with uninterrupted, unprecedented, and uncensored law and government powered not by you children.

00:10:29.000 Don't fire on them! 1.00

00:11:01.000 This election, we will reclaim what is rightfully ours.

00:11:09.000 USA! USA! USA!

00:11:14.000 USA!

00:11:38.000 You're gonna stay in jail, that's what I know You're gonna stay in jail, I got the ball

00:11:49.000 I'm gonna sweep this floor I'm gonna sweep this floor

00:11:58.000 Did they hear me slap my pen down? Like this? Before?

00:12:06.000 Maybe.

00:12:07.000 Oh, okay.

00:12:07.000 It's possible.

00:12:08.000 There's a slight anger.

00:12:10.000 Yeah, I heard it.

00:12:11.000 You heard it?

00:12:11.000 Yeah.

00:12:12.000 Oh, my mic came in because we're trying to chase down a lead tonight and getting a phone call and if that didn't happen I don't want to, you know, I don't want to foreshadow or spoil it.

00:12:21.000 Thomas Riggs!

00:12:24.000 Thomas Riggs!

00:12:26.000 is the man you'll see in the Mug Club Undercover video tonight.

00:12:30.000 And I'm gonna fix my headphones here.

00:12:33.000 Mug Club Undercover has been doing a lot of work lately that's been behind the scenes.

00:12:37.000 It takes a long time to make sure that, you know, you aim once, you aim right, figuratively.

00:12:42.000 And tonight is about what's going on in our military and the admission that DEI is a net harm.

00:12:50.000 To our military.

00:12:50.000 Or at the very least, not a net benefit, but as being given undue priority.

00:12:56.000 And it's pretty scary, I warn you.

00:12:58.000 It'll be alarming, it'll be upsetting, but I think it's important that these things not happen in the dark.

00:13:03.000 There's also some very specific references you'll see in the undercover video tonight

00:13:06.000 regarding this election, because people in the know and people with a lot of power believe

00:13:13.000 that it's going to turn out one way and they're not really thrilled about it.

00:13:15.000 So we have that.

00:13:16.000 We also have some guests tonight.

00:13:18.000 We have Jack Carr, who's going to be here, has a new book coming out.

00:13:21.000 We have Hallie Johnson of Carry the Load. 1.00

00:13:24.000 And we're going to be featuring a lot of military charities that we are working with here at

00:13:27.000 Mug Club, thanks to you in Military Appreciation Month.

00:13:31.000 but uh... let's uh... let's move on with the show uh...

00:13:33.000 Captain Morgan, CEO, how are you?

00:13:34.000 I am doing better than Riggs.

00:13:37.000 Yes.

00:13:37.000 Having a better night.

00:13:38.000 How are you?

00:13:38.000 Yes.

00:13:39.000 I don't feel like he should have the right to commandeer such a cool name.

00:13:42.000 It's a lethal weapon.

00:13:42.000 Riggs?

00:13:43.000 Riggs!

00:13:44.000 And then this guy.

00:13:45.000 Murtaugh!

00:13:45.000 Yeah.

00:13:46.000 Not thrilled about it.

00:13:47.000 You know who I am thrilled to have here, though?

00:13:47.000 No.

00:13:48.000 Who?

00:13:49.000 He's in third chair.

00:13:49.000 Come on.

00:13:50.000 The funniest man alive.

00:13:52.000 You can watch his show, the Nick DiPaolo Show, Monday through Thursday at 5 Eastern on Mug Club.

00:13:58.000 NickDip.com for all his tour dates.

00:13:59.000 Nick DiPaolo, how are you, sir?

00:14:01.000 Very good.

00:14:01.000 Thank you for having me, Steve.

00:14:02.000 By the way, Riggs, his first name's Tanya, so don't feel too bad.

00:14:05.000 Oh, come on now. 0.98

00:14:07.000 We have no idea.

00:14:07.000 That could be.

00:14:09.000 That's where we are at this point.

00:14:11.000 Yes.

00:14:11.000 We really couldn't know.

00:14:13.000 You're about to say something, Gerald.

00:14:15.000 Can I expect that level of performance tonight?

00:14:17.000 Most likely.

00:14:18.000 He looked at me like this, he went... That's the symbol from me to you that I need to come in and bring you something, and then I just didn't say anything.

00:14:24.000 Oh, okay.

00:14:25.000 Well, that's fine.

00:14:26.000 Who was shot?

00:14:27.000 Nobody was shot.

00:14:28.000 What are you talking about?

00:14:29.000 I thought you were talking about what's going on on CNN right now.

00:14:32.000 Great start.

00:14:32.000 Okay.

00:14:33.000 Please do, by the way, right now, we want this to be on YouTube tonight.

00:14:36.000 We fully expect this to result in some kind of a suspension or a strike, so share the link.

00:14:41.000 Of course, do head over to Rumble for your daily viewing, but we want this to exist on all these platforms.

00:14:45.000 Certainly on YouTube, X, anywhere that it can be seen because, hey, this is about the people who are putting themselves in harm's way.

00:14:53.000 Sometimes we separate ourselves from that and think of military policy.

00:14:56.000 Those are people. 0.98

00:14:57.000 And if you have had any relatives or friends who have served, who've actually been in the shit, sorry for lack of a better word, you know what? 0.99

00:15:05.000 It affects them, and it affects everyone in this country. 0.98

00:15:07.000 The military is for breaking stuff and keeping you safe.

00:15:11.000 That's it.

00:15:12.000 You want people who are as effective at breaking stuff and killing bad guys as humanly possible, and that is not what is happening right now.

00:15:20.000 We all suspected it.

00:15:21.000 You will see today, Mug Club Undercover confirmed it.

00:15:24.000 And I wanted to, before we move on, while talking about the military, everyone talks about Military Appreciation Month.

00:15:28.000 Have not seen it trending anywhere.

00:15:30.000 Not like Trans-Visibility Day. 0.86

00:15:32.000 Is that a thing?

00:15:33.000 Or is it a week?

00:15:34.000 I don't know.

00:15:35.000 Some people get a week, some people get a day.

00:15:37.000 Depending on how... It feels like a light year.

00:15:41.000 Depending on how much you've transitioned, I don't know.

00:15:43.000 But I'll tell you this, you're all visible.

00:15:48.000 We actually do want to affect positive change here.

00:15:53.000 We do this at Christmas, the Crowder Gives Back segment, where there's Santa Claus.

00:15:58.000 Never met him.

00:16:00.000 To all the kids who've asked for gifts, I've never met him.

00:16:03.000 We've never been in the same room together.

00:16:04.000 Nope.

00:16:05.000 So at the Christmas episode, we actually teamed up with this Place One Tribe Foundation And the crew, they actually connected us with some military families, and we were able to help them, honor them, thanks to your support, Mug Club.

00:16:17.000 And we want you to see what it is that you are supporting.

00:16:20.000 Sometimes it just sort of goes out into the ether.

00:16:22.000 So here's actually an update from their CEO, Jacob Schick.

00:16:26.000 What One Tribe is about is forming that human tribe, creating that community.

00:16:30.000 We just want people to know that they're worthy of being loved and that it's okay to not be okay.

00:16:39.000 Hey Mutt Club, Jacob Schick from Mutt Tribe Foundation here.

00:16:42.000 Coming to you guys with an abundance of gratitude for how much you guys showed up and really helped us with our Christmas campaign.

00:16:50.000 To include a very dear friend of ours, Michael Cardinal, who we unfortunately lost February 2nd.

00:16:57.000 That said, that leads me into the fact that we're in Memorial May and we're approaching Memorial Day.

00:17:02.000 Guys like Mike and the men and women that are far greater than I'll ever be.

00:17:07.000 Get one day a year to be honored the way that they're supposed to be honored.

00:17:11.000 So we would ask that you guys come together and support us once again in this evolution in Memorial May.

00:17:17.000 And we're going to go walk the Katy Trail in honor and remembrance of every man and woman that shed their blood and gave their life for our freedoms.

00:17:26.000 We will do that this month.

00:17:27.000 And then with your generous support, we will be able to finish out the year helping all the law enforcement officers, frontline health care workers, First responders, veterans, military, as well as our families that we help in our everyday endeavors with our various programs here at One Tribe.

00:17:45.000 We're stronger together and we can't do this without you guys.

00:17:48.000 Mug Club, I gotta tell you, you're second to none.

00:17:50.000 Thank you so much, so very much, for giving a damn about the men and women that are far greater than I'll ever be.

00:17:56.000 God bless you guys and superfund dolls.

00:17:58.000 Not to put a damper on a touching moment, but fact check false.

00:18:11.000 We are second to many.

00:18:14.000 My club is not.

00:18:15.000 We... Well, no, look, quick.

00:18:18.000 Let's not overstate the importance here.

00:18:20.000 I mean, these guys actually... Guys missing a leg.

00:18:23.000 Well, yes.

00:18:25.000 We helped them out, but let's be honest.

00:18:27.000 We come here, we tell a few jokes, we do some 7-plus-1s, really appreciate it.

00:18:31.000 But, you know, these guys actually had bullets flying at them.

00:18:34.000 We're certainly second to that.

00:18:35.000 Yeah, but you were missing a sneaker today for like an hour.

00:18:37.000 You couldn't find it?

00:18:38.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:18:38.000 Well, that's the last time I buy those dunks.

00:18:41.000 Because apparently they're very in-demand.

00:18:43.000 Your own personal hell.

00:18:44.000 This is why I just buy cheap stuff.

00:18:45.000 No one steals the cheap stuff.

00:18:47.000 It's like a cheap pair of sunglasses.

00:18:48.000 You lose it, you don't care.

00:18:49.000 So, thank you so much to everyone here who's helped out.

00:18:54.000 We really appreciate it, and we do send our love to Gabby Carnell and the family, and we're really glad that we were able to actually bless the family, you know, before his passing.

00:19:03.000 So that was something that obviously is sad, but we were glad that it It came to our attention when it did.

00:19:09.000 It made a huge difference in their lives.

00:19:11.000 We were able to, because of Mug Club, we were able to get to that hero before he passed and obviously make an impact on the family and create some memories.

00:19:20.000 It's fantastic to be able to do that.

00:19:21.000 It's sad that he passed, but great that we were able to make an impact on his life.

00:19:24.000 Thank you very much for letting us do that.

00:19:40.000 Like, I hate the word hero now, but you were actually using it appropriately.

00:19:44.000 The OGs of heroism. 0.98

00:19:45.000 And I still wanted to punch you. 0.88

00:19:47.000 You did, but I think that has roots somewhere else. 0.93

00:19:49.000 That says something about me.

00:19:50.000 People are still saying it takes courage to come out of the closet.

00:19:54.000 Really?

00:19:55.000 Really?

00:19:55.000 Does it really?

00:19:56.000 Yeah, I guess.

00:19:58.000 I guess that's Travolta's excuse.

00:20:00.000 Oh, I'd have to bring up the one of Tanga. 0.56

00:20:03.000 That was like Kennedy getting assassinated for the Irish when the Italians We have a picture of Tavolto when he came out.

00:20:09.000 Yeah, well.

00:20:10.000 Tore it down, didn't you?

00:20:13.000 You guys gained it back when De Niro and Pacino, they had kids at like 95.

00:20:16.000 That's Old Testament type stuff.

00:20:18.000 That's actually a great point, but jeez, De Niro.

00:20:21.000 I should have aborted it.

00:20:26.000 Whoa! 0.71

00:20:26.000 No, I just don't want his son to be carrying his legacy of more Fokker films. 0.71

00:20:30.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:20:30.000 Yes, exactly.

00:20:31.000 Meet the Fokkers. 0.98

00:20:33.000 And what is it?

00:20:34.000 Meet the Fokkers? 0.99

00:20:35.000 How do you think he reacted when she said, do you think?

00:20:38.000 Because, you know, it's usually it's like, hey, you know, we're gonna have a baby and they're happy.

00:20:41.000 Do you think he was just like?

00:20:43.000 No.

00:20:44.000 You sure?

00:20:48.000 That's about what you get from acting now.

00:20:49.000 I think he played a Jake LaMotta and gave her a left to the kidneys. 1.00

00:20:53.000 Exactly.

00:20:54.000 I hope not.

00:20:55.000 I love kids.

00:20:56.000 Jeez, my head's shining like, you know what?

00:20:58.000 Somebody fill it in.

00:21:02.000 It's the mark of a good comedian.

00:21:04.000 We have heroes in the military. 0.99

00:21:06.000 We don't want to be mucking it up doing horse shit up here. 0.99

00:21:08.000 But we will! 0.99

00:21:09.000 I feel like we're on ABC at 8 o'clock.

00:21:10.000 I don't know what to say.

00:21:11.000 I don't know if we're on YouTube.

00:21:12.000 You know how I am.

00:21:13.000 I have no idea what this is going out to.

00:21:14.000 Kids with cancer.

00:21:15.000 I don't know.

00:21:18.000 Everywhere nice.

00:21:19.000 I mean, I'm sure there's a child with cancer watching.

00:21:22.000 Yes, but how do we target all of them?

00:21:23.000 It's incidental.

00:21:24.000 Yeah.

00:21:25.000 What's that?

00:21:25.000 You have any good progeria jokes for the St.

00:21:27.000 Jude's demographic we have watching?

00:21:29.000 Well, I gotta give off flags and wigs. 0.97

00:21:33.000 Oh, come on, folks. 0.84

00:21:34.000 Everybody's going to get cancer.

00:21:35.000 It's like the crabs lighten up.

00:21:38.000 Neither of those are true.

00:21:40.000 But we live in very different worlds.

00:21:42.000 So, look, here we are talking about quite a bit tonight.

00:21:42.000 Okay.

00:21:46.000 We're trying to, of course, honoring the military and the promo code is USA20.

00:21:49.000 You get $20 off at ladderwithcutter.com or click that button down there below and you get to see where your dollar goes as far as charity.

00:21:56.000 But something else.

00:21:59.000 You can see where your dollar goes because of what Mug Club Undercover has been working on.

00:22:03.000 So tonight, what we are going to be releasing is some undercover footage from a senior advisor in the Navy.

00:22:09.000 And what you're going to hear from him is very concerning.

00:22:13.000 It runs the gauntlet from DEI initiatives to admitting what we all know, the quiet part out loud, to an impending showdown with China, and that we are ill-prepared and we are focusing on the wrong things.

00:22:27.000 So right now we're at a point of course where we have war raging in parts of Europe, Middle East.

00:22:54.000 ...respect the Biden administration, their priorities as it relates to the military.

00:23:00.000 We know exactly where their focus is.

00:23:03.000 Don't forget the focus, the new God, the false idol is diversity. 0.93

00:23:09.000 Flanked by his defense secretary and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, President Biden ended the ban on transgender troops today.

00:23:17.000 Hello, I'm Admiral Rachel Levine.

00:23:20.000 Climate change is having a disproportionate effect on the physical and mental health of black communities.

00:23:25.000 Hi, I'm Major Rachel Jones, and what pride means to me is celebrating that diversity is our strength as a nation and as an army.

00:23:34.000 So for all of you out there, I ask you to set out your symbols of pride, share your pronouns in your email,

00:23:41.000 particularly if you're a person who doesn't think they need to.

00:23:44.000 Here I am, very gender nonconforming in the traditional sense. Certainly three years ago when I came out as

00:23:50.000 transgender, I was essentially ostracized.

00:23:53.000 And I want to understand it.

00:23:53.000 And I'm white.

00:23:54.000 This is the story of a soldier who operates your nation's patriot missile defense systems.

00:23:57.000 under arrest accused of plotting to give the Russian government confidential medical information

00:24:02.000 about US military personnel.

00:24:04.000 And I want to understand white rage.

00:24:06.000 And I'm white.

00:24:07.000 And I want to understand it.

00:24:08.000 This is the story of a soldier who operates your nation's Patriot Missile Defense Systems.

00:24:14.000 It begins in California with a little girl raised by two moms.

00:24:19.000 You better have what I want.

00:24:21.000 I don't take beef.

00:24:22.000 I don't say thank you.

00:24:23.000 I just do what I want.

00:24:26.000 We're making good progress designing body armor that fits women properly.

00:24:32.000 Tailoring combat uniforms for women.

00:24:35.000 Creating maternity flight suits.

00:24:37.000 Updating requirements for their hairstyles.

00:24:44.000 I mean... Look, I know we don't have drinking game stuff tonight, but I am drinking.

00:24:51.000 Yeah, well it makes it easier to take.

00:24:53.000 What's that, a nice Chardonnay?

00:24:53.000 Yes, thank you.

00:24:55.000 That's perfect for this situation.

00:24:57.000 Updating hairstyle requirements?

00:25:00.000 You know what we used to... comment below if you had maybe a relative, a father, a drunken uncle who served in Vietnam, and they used to say, hey, at least we still have the greatest military fighting force that's ever existed.

00:25:12.000 Try showing that video if you could travel in time to, like, Genghis Khan.

00:25:12.000 Yeah!

00:25:17.000 The Ottomans.

00:25:18.000 Alexander the Great.

00:25:19.000 What?

00:25:20.000 Updating women's hairstyles? 0.99

00:25:21.000 Eisenhower, you don't even have to go that far back!

00:25:24.000 I know!

00:25:24.000 They're making uniforms that fit properly for women.

00:25:27.000 That means they have a place for their dick now. 1.00

00:25:29.000 Yes! 1.00

00:25:31.000 Maternity... Stretchy maternity... Wait, you're subjecting that baby to G-forces in a fighter jet? 0.97

00:25:31.000 For pregnant women. 0.97

00:25:37.000 Yeah, that's good for the soft spot.

00:25:40.000 Things going in and out like a Coke can on the pool.

00:25:42.000 You'll be wondering why every single baby born overseas in a military base looks like the Elephant Man.

00:25:48.000 Take a guess!

00:25:50.000 Hope you enjoyed that Dior flight suit!

00:25:53.000 Apparently Rachel's a big name over there. 1.00

00:25:55.000 It is, it's a big name.

00:25:56.000 They pick very basic white girl names.

00:26:00.000 It's just the idea of, you know, a woman, beautiful woman, Barbie, is stereotypical, it's offensive.

00:26:05.000 Unless it's a man playing dress-up, then it's brave.

00:26:07.000 Takes courage. 0.98

00:26:08.000 Yeah, they're racist.

00:26:09.000 I want to see some Tanishas and Taniquas in there. 0.87

00:26:11.000 I'm sure a few of them exist.

00:26:13.000 No, they don't.

00:26:14.000 Let's just be honest here.

00:26:15.000 They're not as accepting of that in that community.

00:26:17.000 They can't appropriate those things.

00:26:19.000 No, they can't.

00:26:20.000 Rachel Dozell tried.

00:26:21.000 She was courageous.

00:26:22.000 Say what you want about her.

00:26:23.000 Doesn't mean I agree with her.

00:26:25.000 You know, she gets sickle cell. 1.00

00:26:28.000 Nope, no she didn't.

00:26:31.000 Yeah, she just stood in front of a microwave for an hour straight.

00:26:34.000 So, here to actually, and by the way, we do have coming up in just a second here, we are waiting on a phone call actually.

00:26:41.000 We've called some of our sources and surprise, they've They popped back underground, so they'll let me know if we get that update here later tonight.

00:26:48.000 So we will have this hit, and it's not like Rudy Giuliani, where some of you thought we didn't have him on the show, and then Hunter Biden's laptop was on the show for the very first time, it was aired, and you thought, oh, it's just going to be one of the crew in a wig, because that did happen like four or five times before that, but then we really did have Rudy Giuliani.

00:27:06.000 Can you do a little Giuliani?

00:27:09.000 I don't want to besmirch the reputation of the military.

00:27:12.000 Look, everyone who serves, even if they're serving with stretchy maternity suits and ladies with clocks. 0.99

00:27:20.000 That's the primary focus in our military is with DEI and of course so many clocks.

00:27:25.000 Oh my god.

00:27:32.000 He's got a whole new meaning.

00:27:33.000 I thought he had a good sense of humor about it, though.

00:27:35.000 He liked the impression.

00:27:36.000 Sometimes people get mad about it.

00:27:37.000 So we are going to get to the hidden camera footage here from Mug Club Undercover, but first to explain former Vice

00:27:42.000 President Biden's, and respect the office, the DEI-focused military, we

00:27:45.000 actually have our very own Josh Feierstein with another edition of Bad Money.

00:27:49.000 ♪ Hey, I'm Feierstein and welcome to Bad Money, friends!

00:28:00.000 I'm not just here to entertain you, but also to educate you, so call me at 555-55-55, or tweet me at WhoCares69!

00:28:09.000 Now, forget what you know about our rough, tough military history, and make room for DEI!

00:28:17.000 One of the greatest traditions of our military is the Grog Bowl!

00:28:20.000 And our military's looking more and more like a Grog Bowl every day! 0.85

00:28:24.000 Just mixing ingredients from all walks of life to make a delicious cocktail of diversity, equity, and inclusion!

00:28:30.000 Because our military wants to focus less on the mission, and more on collecting people, like Pokemon cards!

00:28:36.000 That's right! 1.00

00:28:36.000 These racist bastards are looking for everybody, day and night! 1.00

00:28:39.000 They're looking for Hispanics, so we're adding salsa to our Grog Bowl! 1.00

00:28:43.000 They're looking for Asian people for their loyalty and long history of honor.

00:28:48.000 So we add soy sauce to our bowl.

00:28:50.000 It's coming out a little slow, that's not really what they're doing over there.

00:28:54.000 Alright, we add, for black people, they've always been a long staple of our military, so for them we add the number one staple of every American household, barbecue sauce!

00:29:04.000 We dump that in there. 0.67

00:29:05.000 It's closed.

00:29:06.000 There we go.

00:29:07.000 We dump it. 0.99

00:29:08.000 We just get that sucker in there. 1.00

00:29:09.000 Yeah, we get that in. 0.95

00:29:11.000 We also add salt and pepper, because they season everything.

00:29:13.000 Even their dog bowl, probably.

00:29:15.000 We put that in there.

00:29:16.000 Yeah.

00:29:17.000 Now, straight white men?

00:29:19.000 Just like mayonnaise.

00:29:20.000 And to that, I say, no thanks!

00:29:24.000 Lesbians? 1.00

00:29:25.000 Oh, yeah. 0.97

00:29:26.000 For you, we're adding pickles, because somebody's got to be a man. 1.00

00:29:30.000 What about gay people? 1.00

00:29:31.000 Get your sweet ass in here with them sprinkles! 1.00

00:29:34.000 A little more, I love it! 1.00

00:29:38.000 What about trans people?

00:29:39.000 Don't know your gender?

00:29:41.000 I'm non-binary.

00:29:42.000 I a real boy?

00:29:42.000 No problem!

00:29:43.000 A little bit of hormone blockers for you? 0.97

00:29:45.000 And a promotion.

00:29:46.000 Where's that general promotion?

00:29:47.000 That's your promotion.

00:29:48.000 Put it in there and you're good to go.

00:29:51.000 Now I know some of you guys got low test scores, but don't worry.

00:29:54.000 We let R**ards serve our country too. 0.99

00:29:55.000 We add a couple crayons in there.

00:29:57.000 Yeah, make sure you get yellow and green and blue and all the colors.

00:30:02.000 I know, we forgot one. 0.98

00:30:04.000 Ladies, if you didn't fit into one of the previously mentioned preferred categories, this one's for you, you basic b**ch. 1.00

00:30:10.000 Whatever! 0.99

00:30:11.000 That s**t's delicious! 0.95

00:30:14.000 And for the salty soldier just waiting on his retirement, two bottles of tequila! 0.98

00:30:19.000 Yeah, baby! 1.00

00:30:20.000 Get that in there.

00:30:22.000 Now we take our spoon of inclusion, we mix it all up, and that makes for a fighting force that everyone can enjoy!

00:30:32.000 Hello?

00:30:33.000 2008 called?

00:30:33.000 They want their military back?

00:30:35.000 F*** YOU! 1.00

00:30:36.000 I WANT DEI! 1.00

00:30:39.000 This be bad money!

00:31:01.000 Still much more credible than actual Jim Cramer.

00:31:03.000 It really is.

00:31:04.000 It's one of those things.

00:31:05.000 The fine point.

00:31:06.000 It's really hard to miss.

00:31:08.000 Better sound effects.

00:31:09.000 Better sound effects too.

00:31:12.000 So look.

00:31:13.000 The footage that we are about to show you here is actually live right now on my ex account.

00:31:18.000 You can click the link in the description to share.

00:31:20.000 It's just the raw footage so you can share that.

00:31:22.000 We want as many people seeing this as possible because this is going to be a big election issue.

00:31:25.000 I know everyone is talking about immigration and everyone is talking about the economy and that's very important.

00:31:31.000 But the capability of our fighting force, if you're not able to protect what we want, there's no reason for any of it.

00:31:40.000 That's why when people, I get it, no bid contracts, that's an issue. I understand we need better

00:31:44.000 efficiency with our military. Again, government bloating, bureaucracy, understood. But at the end

00:31:49.000 of the day, if you do not have a fighting force to protect the country, there's no point in

00:31:54.000 preserving anything. And it's at the forefront of our minds, because this has been going on behind

00:32:00.000 the scenes here for a while. I know that this story is something that the Mud Club Undercover

00:32:03.000 Unit has been trying to track down. And they spend a lot of time connecting, you know, fostering

00:32:09.000 these relationships.

00:32:11.000 Which can be embarrassing a little bit at times.

00:32:13.000 So before I show this to you, look, I want to predict exactly what the left is going to do, okay?

00:32:18.000 When something is this significant, they're immediately going to try and discredit the source, Mr. Riggs here, right?

00:32:23.000 They're going to say, oh, just that's some lone wolf trying to sequester them.

00:32:26.000 So that doesn't mean that it's representative of our actual policies, but I want you to keep in mind that this person advises directly to the head of the Navy Admiral Lisa Frenchetti.

00:32:36.000 He'll talk about that.

00:32:37.000 Okay, that means he's right.

00:32:38.000 He's in the ear of key decision makers in the United States Navy.

00:32:42.000 Okay, they'll try and say, oh, this man was someone who gets drunk.

00:32:44.000 It's not this is unethical.

00:32:45.000 No alcohol was served at these meetings.

00:32:48.000 To be clear.

00:32:49.000 They'll also try and say he's speaking out of turn just because he says these things about DEI, just because he says these things about our potential conflict with China, just because he says these things, for example, about the Republican and Democrat Party in the state of our election doesn't mean that it's true.

00:33:03.000 We are going to provide all the receipts here.

00:33:05.000 Tonight, we can verify everything that he says.

00:33:08.000 It's not just some lone wolf saying it.

00:33:10.000 It's not someone without influence saying it.

00:33:12.000 This is a very important person who's plugged in.

00:33:14.000 He's speaking the truth.

00:33:16.000 He only speaks the truth when he thinks he's behind closed doors.

00:33:20.000 So that brings us to why we're here tonight on Milk Lube Undercover.

00:33:22.000 All right, so one more time, bring up that flow chart before we actually get into Thomas Riggs,

00:33:35.000 who you are going to see here tonight.

00:33:37.000 He is one of many, many, at least 80 DEI advisors, okay?

00:33:41.000 To be clear.

00:33:42.000 This person we mentioned, you will see, Franchetti, is the very, very top of the Navy.

00:33:46.000 So right there you see it goes.

00:33:47.000 President Biden, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and then he goes straight to Lisa Franchetti.

00:33:51.000 Is Lisa a real Lisa?

00:33:53.000 Yes, Lisa is a real Lisa.

00:33:55.000 And, you know, I don't know that that matters.

00:33:56.000 It's a good question.

00:33:57.000 It's a legitimate question.

00:33:58.000 It is today.

00:33:59.000 And the truth is, I say yes, but none of us are certain.

00:34:04.000 So, who is Thomas Riggs?

00:34:07.000 Who does he work for?

00:34:08.000 Let's introduce the founder of the feast here.

00:34:11.000 My job mainly is, I mainly work, I would say more, my, 70% of my job is advising.

00:34:21.000 I'm more of an advisor.

00:34:22.000 I advise to the top three in the Navy on equal opportunity, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

00:34:30.000 I got this job in September.

00:34:34.000 Okay.

00:34:35.000 I got this job in September, and it was mainly because of the new Chief of Naval Operations,

00:34:42.000 Admiral Lisa Franchetti.

00:34:45.000 What's her deal?

00:34:48.000 She believes in diversity and inclusion and equal opportunity.

00:34:54.000 She's the first woman Joint Chief of Staff.

00:34:57.000 Is she making our military stronger? 0.96

00:35:00.000 Definitely.

00:35:01.000 She's awesome. 0.83

00:35:02.000 That woman is just awesome. 1.00

00:35:05.000 Like, you walk into an office and you feel like you're, like, at a family friend's house.

00:35:11.000 I work hand-in-hand with the JAG, the lawyers, the Judge Advocate General.

00:35:16.000 Like, that's my team, really.

00:35:20.000 I advise, they counsel.

00:35:23.000 So, usually, we have to be on the same page.

00:35:24.000 If we're not, then it's like we kind of explain to the boss, I don't see it this way, I see

00:35:31.000 it this way, and we should advise.

00:35:35.000 Remember ma'am, I'm an advisor, they're your counsel.

00:35:38.000 By the way, when discussing people in positions of military authority, when listing their

00:35:45.000 qualities, feeling like I've gone to a friend's house wouldn't even make my top five.

00:35:51.000 Thank you.

00:35:53.000 I want to be uncomfortable.

00:35:54.000 I want to be uncomfortable. 0.98

00:35:55.000 These are trained killers. 0.78

00:35:56.000 Yeah.

00:35:57.000 These are people that would be killing otherwise, and we found a really creative outlet.

00:35:59.000 Yes, exactly.

00:36:00.000 You know, saving the country and making sure preserving democracy, all of that.

00:36:03.000 I want to go to their house and be lucky that I left.

00:36:06.000 Yes.

00:36:07.000 You want it to be a little bit like a pet snake?

00:36:10.000 Like the uncle who, one drink over the limit, he's going to wail on you, but he's fun?

00:36:10.000 Yes.

00:36:15.000 The Asian kid that got out of Thomas' house? 0.99

00:36:17.000 Yes, exactly.

00:36:19.000 I think.

00:36:19.000 Wipe that brow.

00:36:21.000 I got a question here.

00:36:23.000 Again, because of the context of this story, it sounds like I'm joking around, but did we know the sexuality of Mr. Riggs?

00:36:31.000 Because if you send an attractive woman in there and he's not heterosexual, he's not going to spill his beans.

00:36:38.000 Well, I understand.

00:36:40.000 No, it's a very valid point.

00:36:41.000 And I believe he was very fond of our undercover journalist.

00:36:43.000 Oh, yes.

00:36:44.000 Then again, if you've met our undercover journalist, anyone would be.

00:36:49.000 If you have a pulse.

00:36:50.000 Am I right?

00:36:52.000 Okay.

00:36:52.000 Respectfully.

00:36:56.000 Respectfully.

00:36:57.000 Respectfully, 100%.

00:36:58.000 Look, this is not some random contractor.

00:37:00.000 It's not some random contractor.

00:37:01.000 This is a senior chief in the United States Navy that's advising these people at the highest levels.

00:37:06.000 This is not somebody they can go, oh they worked for us for three months on a contract, oh this person never had any conversations with anybody, they had no information about this stuff.

00:37:13.000 Can't do that.

00:37:14.000 Can't do that with this.

00:37:15.000 And we're about to get to why this matters so much right now, because we've heard, of course, China's not really a threat, only one person.

00:37:22.000 Comment below.

00:37:22.000 Take a guess.

00:37:23.000 Which president in your lifetime actually pointed to the threat that was China?

00:37:27.000 Pointed them out for the threat that they were, rather than saying, China's the future. 0.84

00:37:30.000 So that's a really important key to tonight's piece.

00:37:33.000 But again, keep in mind, With D.E.I., and this guy says D.E.I., right?

00:37:37.000 It's kind of, it's sort of like seeing an animal in the wild that you thought was in captivity, like, oh wow, that exists.

00:37:42.000 They actually use the term D.E.I.

00:37:44.000 in a positive manner.

00:37:45.000 These people, when they don't know that you're watching.

00:37:45.000 Right.

00:37:47.000 They say, D.E.I.

00:37:48.000 That's what they'll tell you.

00:37:48.000 is not really a thing.

00:37:49.000 They'll gaslight you.

00:37:50.000 No, it is.

00:37:51.000 They're proud of it.

00:37:52.000 And they just want to figure out how to work around the name.

00:37:55.000 You'll see all of that here tonight.

00:37:56.000 He's also very confident that Donald Trump would dump it, DEI, if he were to come into office.

00:38:02.000 And he believes that Donald Trump will win the election.

00:38:04.000 So right now here he is talking about DEI and well, you know what Donald Trump would do with it

00:38:09.000 You got a hard time about it at work at all?

00:38:12.000 About door shagging? Yeah of course, I think it's a waste of time

00:38:15.000 Except my golf balls pop I mean, Lisa.

00:38:22.000 Admiral.

00:38:23.000 She doesn't think it is.

00:38:24.000 She likes it.

00:38:25.000 But, secretly, everybody else is like, eh.

00:38:30.000 You know, what's going to happen when the first missile hits the first side of the first DEG?

00:38:33.000 What's it going to matter?

00:38:34.000 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion will just be out the window.

00:38:39.000 What's that look like in the military?

00:38:42.000 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion? 0.72

00:38:44.000 I'll say it again.

00:38:47.000 It depends on who's the President.

00:38:49.000 If Trump's the President, then there is no more DEI.

00:38:52.000 It goes away.

00:38:53.000 He's already said he's going to shut down the office with the Pentagon.

00:38:57.000 It'll go away.

00:39:01.000 So that would change things, right?

00:39:02.000 So what happens if Trump comes in and it goes away?

00:39:06.000 Equal opportunity will never go away.

00:39:09.000 It'll just shift from me talking about diversity, equity and inclusion to equal opportunity based on the culture of excellence and how we work.

00:39:21.000 How do we create a diverse force of people and inclusive of everything?

00:39:26.000 So I wouldn't just, I don't come out and say, yeah, I have to change all my verbiage to make it sound good.

00:39:35.000 I'm sure during a time of war we don't really, like, would diversity be so important?

00:39:39.000 No, it's not.

00:39:39.000 No.

00:39:41.000 That's why, that's why I told you, depending on, they say it all the time.

00:39:46.000 As soon as China invades, if China invades Taiwan, None of this is going to matter.

00:39:46.000 What?

00:39:52.000 I was going to say, I was thinking like if Trump gets in and like your job would be at risk already?

00:39:59.000 My job will still exist, it's just like I was telling you, DEI wouldn't, I wouldn't be able to come out and say, I'm a DEI practitioner.

00:40:07.000 Like now I can say that.

00:40:08.000 What would you say?

00:40:09.000 I would just say I'm an equal opportunity advisor.

00:40:11.000 Right.

00:40:12.000 I'm a climate specialist.

00:40:14.000 And I would, like I told you, I'd skirt around the EI.

00:40:17.000 Well, if we're looking at the diversity, the equity, the diversity, the diverse force of the Navy, and how we're all, and where we are as far as equality, and are these people that are diverse, are they included on the decision-making, it would have to be a play or no play.

00:40:35.000 I would never be able to find a statement like that.

00:40:38.000 So a couple of things here.

00:40:40.000 Right now, you've just seen the method.

00:40:41.000 Okay, you are seeing the plan.

00:40:44.000 And I want to then bring you to the results.

00:40:47.000 And the results are harrowing for a country that values freedom and the ability to protect it.

00:40:52.000 But he says, oh, we need to make it sound good.

00:40:54.000 No, none of this will matter when he said if when China invades Taiwan.

00:41:00.000 If it doesn't matter then, then why does it matter now?

00:41:04.000 Look, it's easy to think of DEI as some kind of a multi-billion dollar side project, but it's not.

00:41:11.000 There's a net cost.

00:41:13.000 And there's a net cost where, of course, that funding could be going somewhere else in the military.

00:41:17.000 Some are useful.

00:41:17.000 I don't know.

00:41:18.000 Weaponry?

00:41:19.000 Intel?

00:41:20.000 But there's also a cost in that the people who you want in our military aren't joining anymore.

00:41:28.000 And there aren't enough Rachel Levine's, or Rachel Levine's type, I guess, Rachel Levine types, if this were a casting call, to replace them.

00:41:37.000 DEI has a net cost to our country and our military by turning away the kind of people who you want with a gun in their hand or a computer on their desk keeping this country safe.

00:41:49.000 But here is the man himself saying it.

00:41:53.000 Now we find ourselves at an impasse where nobody's joining the military.

00:41:56.000 Is there a lot of people joining the military right now?

00:42:01.000 No, our recruits are putting it down.

00:42:01.000 No.

00:42:05.000 You know, so, like, right now, this is crazy to say, but, like, we will take people... You don't have to have a GED.

00:42:12.000 You don't have to have a high school diploma.

00:42:15.000 And your ASVAB score.

00:42:17.000 Like, your aptitude score has to be above a 10.

00:42:20.000 Only.

00:42:21.000 What's the standard?

00:42:23.000 Um... Or what was the standard?

00:42:25.000 Uh, it was 50, I think.

00:42:27.000 Maybe... Maybe... And that's, like, basic.

00:42:29.000 Like, days... 10 is like putting your name on the test.

00:42:33.000 Because we're... like, at this... I think last year we were like 7,000 short.

00:42:40.000 Um...

00:42:42.000 So you lo... we lowered the insurance?

00:42:44.000 Yes.

00:42:45.000 Hmm. Hmm. That's bad.

00:42:48.000 Yes.

00:42:49.000 It's bad when you don't have people joining, but guess what?

00:42:50.000 It's about to get worse.

00:42:51.000 So we have a live update from Lance Gooden who sits on the House Armed Services Committee promoting our story.

00:42:58.000 Go ahead and bring that up right now.

00:42:59.000 This is him commenting and calling for a ban on all DEI.

00:43:03.000 Good.

00:43:04.000 This is just some random guy sits on the Senate House Armed Services Committee, somebody who can affect change, somebody who can make a difference, has already pushed us out and says, you know what?

00:43:11.000 No.

00:43:12.000 No, our military needs to change.

00:43:14.000 This is not about us running an interview so that people can just watch and say, ooh, military bad.

00:43:18.000 This is about making sure something changes.

00:43:20.000 Right.

00:43:21.000 Some kind of result comes from the work that we do.

00:43:24.000 Otherwise, we really shouldn't be in the business of doing it.

00:43:26.000 Right.

00:43:27.000 We're not just going to sit here for 5, 10, 15 years and hope that this thing doesn't burn to the ground while we get to talk to you.

00:43:33.000 We want things to actually change.

00:43:35.000 That's why we ask you guys to join.

00:43:36.000 That's why we promote Mug Club USA 20, $20 off.

00:43:39.000 That's why we do all of this and ask you guys to jump into the fight with us so that this can change from this, not just have one more story out there about how DEI bad.

00:43:48.000 And something else too, because I know that at least some members of the Trump family, see me being coy there, are watching.

00:43:54.000 You.

00:43:55.000 This man, Riggs, says, oh, it'll just change.

00:43:58.000 My job will be somewhere else.

00:44:00.000 Make sure that's not the case.

00:44:02.000 Make sure that Lisa Franchetti's name is spoken from the podium at these rallies, that DEI is going away, that we're going to fix the military recruitment shortfall, that DEI plays no role in our fighting forces, and we're no longer going to put people in harm's way, whether it's lowering PT requirements.

00:44:21.000 Let me ask you this.

00:44:22.000 So we've made DEI, and it really is, it's just a new religion, it's a secular religion.

00:44:26.000 We've made it an idol.

00:44:29.000 How has it helped?

00:44:32.000 In any way?

00:44:32.000 Hold on a second.

00:44:33.000 It hasn't made us a better fighting force.

00:44:35.000 It's actually not being so tolerant has actually resulted in a military recruiting shortfall and they've even lowered PT requirements.

00:44:43.000 They've even lowered basic aptitude test requirements.

00:44:47.000 We are consistently now, everything about this has made us less capable and has put the people who are putting their lives on the line more in harm's way.

00:44:57.000 So let me read you some numbers really quickly.

00:44:59.000 The 2023, the military-wide recruitment, they missed their target by 41,000.

00:45:02.000 The Navy missed it by 7,500.

00:45:03.000 That's the first time ever the Navy has missed its goal.

00:45:05.000 by seven and a half thousand. That's the first time ever the Navy has missed its goal.

00:45:10.000 Wow.

00:45:11.000 And as a result of that, direct result of DEI, the Navy has lowered some of their enlistment

00:45:16.000 requirements. Let me give you some of these changes. It's progress. No GED or high school

00:45:20.000 diploma required.

00:45:21.000 Oh boy.

00:45:22.000 And in 2023, the Navy actually expunged records of failed fitness test results so that they could

00:45:28.000 keep more members. So, hey, you don't need to go to high school. You don't need a GED.

00:45:32.000 We, we, intel, not required, basic intelligence, room temperature IQ, that doesn't matter,

00:45:37.000 can't do a push-up or a dead hang pull-up, no problem, we want to put you out in the

00:45:42.000 battlefield so long as you wear the right shade of eyeliner.

00:45:45.000 Sounds like Harvard and Columbia.

00:45:48.000 It's tough.

00:45:48.000 Honestly, they want it to be tough to tell the difference.

00:45:51.000 People have to understand, maybe it's not your opinion, Steve or Joe, this is intentional.

00:45:56.000 Yes.

00:45:57.000 This is intentional.

00:45:59.000 And people are going, why are they?

00:46:01.000 They want to lower the standards.

00:46:03.000 Right.

00:46:03.000 And they have.

00:46:06.000 That's why you know it comes from the top down.

00:46:08.000 Right.

00:46:09.000 Instead of a grassroots thing.

00:46:10.000 They use it under the guise of diversity.

00:46:13.000 Diversity has been a smokescreen forever.

00:46:15.000 Yeah.

00:46:16.000 And it's working beautifully for them.

00:46:16.000 Okay?

00:46:19.000 So just remember when you see this, don't go, they don't know what they're doing.

00:46:21.000 No, they know exactly what they're doing.

00:46:23.000 Absolutely.

00:46:24.000 No, and look, one thing too, I told you guys, if you're already a Mug Club member, if you're somebody, maybe you can't join Mug Club tonight.

00:46:29.000 Maybe you can't jump into the fight that way.

00:46:30.000 Maybe you need to save up for a little while.

00:46:31.000 I totally understand it.

00:46:33.000 In Biden's economy, I understand it even more than in most people's economy.

00:46:36.000 But you know what you can do right now?

00:46:37.000 If you have an X account, go click the link right now and it'll tweet for you.

00:46:41.000 We've made it really easy, right?

00:46:42.000 Link in the description, right at the top there.

00:46:44.000 Click share this story, get this out to people.

00:46:47.000 Don't just sit and watch.

00:46:49.000 Participate.

00:46:50.000 Why is it always the Navy?

00:46:51.000 It's about to get worse.

00:46:53.000 This is the climax.

00:46:55.000 I know it's tough using that word here tonight.

00:46:58.000 Sitting and watching, climax, I mean it's weird.

00:47:00.000 Because we've been talking about this for a very long time and we're going to show you a montage here in just a few seconds where the Well, really, let's be honest.

00:47:08.000 Everyone kind of knows that China is a major threat. 0.93

00:47:11.000 Everyone knows that they want to subvert Western civilization.

00:47:16.000 It just remains to be seen as to whether they're a paper tiger or not.

00:47:18.000 And here's the thing.

00:47:19.000 We can make them.

00:47:21.000 A strong United States can ensure that they're a paper tiger, or we can build them into a Leviathan. 0.96

00:47:27.000 But this administration, and one party exclusively in this country, has said they're not a threat, actually.

00:47:31.000 They are our friends.

00:47:32.000 Well, here is what they say behind closed doors.

00:47:35.000 When people tell you, man, it's all just war for profit, man, they don't really care.

00:47:40.000 Sometimes you go, okay, alright, we get it, you're a conspiracy theorist, you've eaten too much granola, whatever it is.

00:47:46.000 It's true, this guy says it.

00:47:48.000 Israel, that doesn't matter. 0.99

00:47:49.000 Ukraine, doesn't matter. 0.92

00:47:50.000 Truth is, China is the threat. 0.96

00:47:52.000 We talk about it.

00:47:54.000 All the time.

00:47:55.000 This, to me, from all the footage, was most concerning, and certainly is a 180 from what we've heard in the public eye.

00:48:04.000 All that's ever talked about at work, though, is like, you know, so it's not even really, there's no worry about Israel and all that stuff.

00:48:16.000 There's not?

00:48:17.000 What is the worry?

00:48:18.000 China.

00:48:20.000 All we ever talk about is, oh, well, you know, None of this is going to matter.

00:48:31.000 We're trying to invade Taiwan.

00:48:34.000 That's the buzzword.

00:48:36.000 Our biggest problem right now is China. 1.00

00:48:40.000 That's our worry.

00:48:40.000 right now. That's our wor You know, you don't worry about your freedom, God loves.

00:48:49.000 We're like, okay, they can figure this out themselves.

00:48:53.000 Ukraine, Russia, yeah.

00:48:57.000 China.

00:48:57.000 What's that gonna look like?

00:49:04.000 Is it?

00:49:10.000 So it's like everything, really.

00:49:12.000 I mean, think about it.

00:49:13.000 If we went to war with China, it would escalate into a global war. 0.69

00:49:19.000 I don't know.

00:49:20.000 That's a good question.

00:49:23.000 If we went to war with China, it would be, it would escalate into a world war. 0.97

00:49:28.000 Would we be able to invalidate all the debt that we owe them then?

00:49:32.000 I don't know. That's a good question. I don't know. But then again, who knows?

00:49:37.000 I mean, we may be speaking Chinese.

00:49:39.000 What?

00:49:40.000 We may end up speaking Chinese.

00:49:41.000 I mean, let's be honest.

00:49:44.000 Okay.

00:49:45.000 Jeez.

00:49:46.000 Well, thanks for being honest.

00:49:47.000 We appreciate it.

00:49:48.000 I only took a hidden camera.

00:49:49.000 So if he says Israel, Gaza, they'll figure that out. 0.97

00:49:52.000 Ukraine, Russia, no, no.

00:49:53.000 Our biggest concern by far is China.

00:49:55.000 Here's how you know your government is lying to you.

00:49:57.000 Let's look at the latest foreign aid bill.

00:49:59.000 Ukraine, 61 billion dollars.

00:50:01.000 Israel, 26 billion dollars.

00:50:02.000 When you're talking about the entire Indo-Pacific, 8 billion dollars.

00:50:05.000 You just heard the man in the know.

00:50:09.000 Two points removed from the Commander-in-Chief.

00:50:12.000 Say, none of those matter.

00:50:14.000 China's our greatest foe. 1.00

00:50:15.000 We could all be speaking Chinese.

00:50:16.000 Now, we have been saying this for years, of course, and they've gaslit you and we were accused of being racist, where this also, by the way, relates to COVID.

00:50:24.000 Hey, if they're our biggest threat, lying about How a virus developed, which, of course, we were suspended.

00:50:30.000 You were suspended, right?

00:50:31.000 You were told that you were crazy if you believed in the lab leak theory.

00:50:34.000 Turns out that also is very likely true.

00:50:36.000 You're allowed to speak of it on YouTube right now.

00:50:38.000 They told you that all of it was racist if you spoke about China in any capacity.

00:50:42.000 There he is.

00:50:44.000 There is your government saying China's the biggest threat by far.

00:50:46.000 It's not even close.

00:50:47.000 The numbers.

00:50:48.000 Ukraine gets $61 billion.

00:50:50.000 Israel $26 billion.

00:50:52.000 All of the Indo-Pacific region $8 billion.

00:50:54.000 Yeah, something tells me we're going to need that money.

00:50:57.000 Something tells me that we're already falling behind.

00:50:59.000 I don't know, maybe it's the balloons floating freely over the United States from said country.

00:51:04.000 And when he says, at work, we talk about it all the time, the threat that is China. 0.81

00:51:07.000 OK, so that would mean, I would imagine, that would mean the military, the Pentagon, probably going to the White House, right?

00:51:12.000 All of D.C., effectively.

00:51:14.000 So if they're talking about that at work all the time, it's a given that China is the greatest threat. 0.99

00:51:17.000 You believe it. 0.53

00:51:18.000 You're told that you're racist.

00:51:21.000 Why would that fly in the face of everything that the Biden administration and the United States elite, the swamp, have been telling you for years in regards to China?

00:51:31.000 Well, China has some legitimate difficulties unrelated to the United States.

00:51:40.000 And I think one of the things that balloon caused was not so much that it got shot down, but I don't think the leadership knew We do not seek to decouple our economy from China's. 0.79

00:51:59.000 This would be damaging to both the U.S.

00:52:01.000 and China, and destabilizing for the world.

00:52:09.000 I love being here.

00:52:11.000 I love the people and the culture and it's just like every time I come here I'm reminded that anything is possible here.

00:52:20.000 The specific purpose of the October and January calls were generated by a concerning intelligence which caused us to believe the Chinese were worried about an attack on them by the United States.

00:52:35.000 I know I am certain that President Trump did not intend to attack the Chinese.

00:52:42.000 And it is my directed responsibility, and it was my directed responsibility by the Secretary, to convey that intent to the Chinese.

00:52:51.000 Let me be clear.

00:52:53.000 I believed in 1979 and said so, and I believe now.

00:52:58.000 that a rising China is a positive development, not only for the people of China,

00:52:58.000 Oh.

00:53:04.000 but for the United States and the world as a whole.

00:53:07.000 Oh, so I just don't know who to believe at this point.

00:53:13.000 And maybe another reason we'll make all these references we always do publicly available.

00:53:17.000 You can click the link in the description.

00:53:19.000 They made the Hunter Biden laptop story go away, right?

00:53:22.000 All of big tech and legacy media, who also have a vested interest largely in Chinese markets, to be clear.

00:53:29.000 So does the NBA.

00:53:31.000 But what got buried was not that Hunter Biden was smoking drywall and sexting his niece, though it's funny.

00:53:38.000 What got buried was former Vice President Biden's connections directly to China.

00:53:43.000 For some reason, people don't talk about that.

00:53:46.000 Hey, let me put that in another way.

00:53:50.000 Let me phrase it a different way.

00:53:52.000 We've forgotten about former Vice President Joe Biden's direct connections to, according to Mr. Riggs, the United States' greatest foe.

00:54:04.000 September 3rd, 2017.

00:54:04.000 Remember Hunter and Associates?

00:54:08.000 They negotiated with this Chinese energy firm, CEFC.

00:54:13.000 There was the email from Hunter Biden, or sorry, one of his associates, I believe the guy's name was James Gillier.

00:54:19.000 He suggested that 10% be held by Hunter for the quote, big guy.

00:54:25.000 And there was another guy, Tony Bobulinski, who was also on that email chain.

00:54:28.000 He in fact confirmed that the big guy was Joe Biden.

00:54:31.000 So yeah, America's greatest foe, 10% for the big guy.

00:54:36.000 Joe Biden, who now sits in office and tells you that China is not a threat.

00:54:40.000 July 30th, 2017.

00:54:42.000 Hunter sent this WhatsApp message to CEFC employee Raymond Jiao.

00:54:47.000 He said, tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight.

00:54:53.000 And Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Shang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me, and every person he knows, and my ability to forever hold a grudge, that you will regret not following my direction.

00:55:06.000 By the way, some photos, of course, would seem to indicate, allegedly, that Hunter was at Joe Biden's house when those messages were sent.

00:55:14.000 So, take a guess as to who the guy next to him is.

00:55:17.000 I'm willing to bet it's the same guy who gets 10%, which was confirmed.

00:55:21.000 But we have to focus on Donald Trump being a Russian spy or plant.

00:55:27.000 We can't possibly look into Joe Biden.

00:55:29.000 Let's just divide this up by continent, I think, at this point.

00:55:33.000 Well, I won't even go that far because I'm not sure exactly where the line stops, but we've got him in Ukraine.

00:55:38.000 Openly saying, you know, you're not gonna get this.

00:55:41.000 What was it a billion dollars in aid unless you do this or ten But I can't remember the number what's a billion here billion there unless you fire this guy and by God He was fired that afternoon before I got on the plane.

00:55:50.000 He said it on camera and now we're looking at China So if you had to put our two greatest enemies on the map somewhere China being number one by a long shot Russia's got to be somewhere in the top five only if maybe it's because of their nuclear weapons and their you know vodka and hair trigger yes, then You've got him in both of those things in very compromising situations. 0.74

00:56:11.000 Yes.

00:56:12.000 And then you have his words.

00:56:13.000 In 2011, this is before Donald Trump flipped the script on everybody and said, you know what?

00:56:18.000 A China that's rising right now is actually not a good thing for us because they're screwing us over. 1.00

00:56:22.000 And everybody's running along with it, including Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, because he wants to make sure that he can A, get slave labor to build his iPhones and B, sell his iPhones.

00:56:30.000 Right?

00:56:30.000 Yes.

00:56:31.000 These guys are running headlong into it.

00:56:33.000 And Joe Biden in 2011 says, you know what?

00:56:35.000 It's a good thing.

00:56:36.000 That wasn't a clip from 1985.

00:56:38.000 That wasn't a clip from 1992.

00:56:40.000 That was a clip from 2011 when they knew better and still didn't do anything with it.

00:56:46.000 And then it makes you think twice.

00:56:48.000 Well, sorry, it doesn't make you think twice.

00:56:49.000 It makes you, it validates publicly what we already knew when they said that Donald Trump was racist, right?

00:56:56.000 Right.

00:56:57.000 China's screwing us on trade. 0.99

00:56:59.000 It's the Chinese virus. 1.00

00:57:01.000 It's racist. 0.99

00:57:02.000 It's racist.

00:57:02.000 The Chinese are our allies.

00:57:04.000 I can't believe it.

00:57:05.000 Why?

00:57:06.000 Did you ever wonder back then, why is the media And why is one party that, by the way, we all say we're all Americans.

00:57:13.000 I don't know if that's the case anymore.

00:57:15.000 When one party is undercutting the President of the United States on behalf of our greatest foe, according to them.

00:57:22.000 And hey, you think that a part of me was conflicted about this tonight because I'm going, okay, hold on a second.

00:57:27.000 China's our greatest foe. 1.00

00:57:28.000 That's kind of the most important portion of this story.

00:57:32.000 I don't want to tip our hand and let our greatest foe know that, and every time I say foe I think of the soup, our greatest enemy. 0.66

00:57:39.000 I don't want to let them know that we have a problem in our military, that we have an unfit military now, that we have a recruiting shortfall, the Navy missed its numbers for the first time ever, that our military is now less intelligent, less physically capable, but more diverse.

00:57:55.000 I don't want China to know. 0.92

00:57:58.000 But then I thought, They probably already know.

00:58:01.000 He said, it's good for us and the world as a whole.

00:58:04.000 Those last words are the important part.

00:58:07.000 Because they rarely see this as, they're going to see it as one, we're going to all hold hands, there'll be no borders. 0.99

00:58:12.000 That's where this crap is coming from. 0.96

00:58:14.000 And those last words, and the world as a whole. 0.99

00:58:18.000 But when China invades Taiwan, it all goes out the window.

00:58:20.000 Oh, so you mean that our greatest foe doesn't care about diversity, they care about conquering?

00:58:26.000 Yeah, yeah, I'm glad that you have stretchy maternity suits to fight them. 1.00

00:58:31.000 All to try to get votes.

00:58:32.000 All to try to virtue signal.

00:58:33.000 And by the way, this is what we did the telethon last time, we did an evening livestream, we really appreciate it, where we hit some marks.

00:58:40.000 Our election stream, right, where do you go from two world records?

00:58:43.000 We are going to be the place that is calling states.

00:58:46.000 We are going to be the place that the mainstream media will be referencing.

00:58:49.000 We have an infrastructure here that no one else has.

00:58:52.000 So we ask that you tune in.

00:58:53.000 We appreciate it.

00:58:54.000 And the reason for that is because of how important this election is.

00:58:57.000 So you can use the promo code USA20.

00:58:59.000 Right now you get $20 off if you join Mug Club.

00:59:02.000 10% go to military charities.

00:59:03.000 But more importantly, it also helps us prepare for this election.

00:59:07.000 Yeah.

00:59:07.000 It helps us create the infrastructure that we need.

00:59:11.000 Because listen to this man tell you how consequential this election is for the military, ergo the future of our republic.

00:59:22.000 look like in five years?

00:59:22.000 What does the U.S.

00:59:24.000 As far as militarily?

00:59:26.000 Because I can only really speak to you on a military front.

00:59:33.000 Alright.

00:59:35.000 I will let you know after this election.

00:59:35.000 Right?

00:59:40.000 What are the two ways it may go?

00:59:42.000 Um, if we have a Republican in office, it will bolster our military.

00:59:47.000 If we have a Democrat, it'll continue to just be the, make do with what you have, you know, kind of, you know, throw some slap things together, put duct tape on it, that kind of stuff.

01:00:00.000 Board training, that kind of thing.

01:00:01.000 And I'm a Democrat.

01:00:03.000 So, I just, from a strictly military standpoint, Republicans are always better for military.

01:00:11.000 Something else that's interesting to me, you have a lot of military friends, I mean obviously we work with a lot of veterans charities, I don't know if you know this, they tend to be, they tend to lean more conservative.

01:00:22.000 Why is that the case but the people who are appointed Democrats?

01:00:26.000 Why is it the guys pushing pens support DEI, but the guys strapping guns across their shoulders aren't?

01:00:33.000 You notice that?

01:00:34.000 Hey, comment below.

01:00:35.000 Maybe I'm missing something. 1.00

01:00:36.000 And by the way, Congress, our representatives, can you do something about this shit? 0.99

01:00:42.000 Yet? 0.99

01:00:43.000 If you want to be anonymous because you don't have the spine to do anything, lwctipsatprotonmail.com.

01:00:47.000 We will protect our sources with our lives.

01:00:51.000 We will go to jail before we give them up.

01:00:53.000 How about you do something?

01:00:54.000 People out there, you have the receipts, you have the proof, and everyone wants you to do something.

01:00:59.000 Yeah.

01:01:00.000 Absolutely.

01:01:00.000 Please.

01:01:01.000 Let me just translate what he has, and we have Jack Carr coming in just a minute.

01:01:04.000 We don't have him yet, but we'll have him in just a minute.

01:01:07.000 He said Republicans are better for the military.

01:01:09.000 I get it.

01:01:09.000 I understand what he's saying.

01:01:11.000 There's only two choices here.

01:01:12.000 Joe Biden, Donald Trump.

01:01:13.000 What he's really saying is Donald Trump is better for the military.

01:01:17.000 Donald Trump will be better for the military.

01:01:19.000 But that's not something that's really news to us.

01:01:20.000 No new wars started in his presidency.

01:01:22.000 Yeah.

01:01:23.000 Right?

01:01:23.000 Pretty much global peace, as much as you can possibly kind of get it or envision it happening.

01:01:28.000 There's always going to be some small conflicts around the country, but certainly, certainly not the things that we're seeing today.

01:01:34.000 Right?

01:01:34.000 And we've got a military that can't afford to have poor training.

01:01:38.000 You know what poor training means?

01:01:40.000 It means more charities having to be started.

01:01:42.000 It means more donations needing to be made to families that don't have a loved one coming home, Joe.

01:01:49.000 That's what it means.

01:01:50.000 It doesn't translate into just dollars on a piece of paper.

01:01:53.000 It translates to lives.

01:01:55.000 And you're playing around with them right now, slapping duct tape—his words, not mine—on something that can't be duct taped.

01:02:02.000 You've got to do a better job for this.

01:02:04.000 Any vet out there right now that is a Democrat, that would be voting for Joe Biden, what are you doing?

01:02:11.000 You're supposed to be taking care of your brothers and sisters.

01:02:13.000 What are you doing?

01:02:14.000 This guy doesn't have your back.

01:02:16.000 No, of course not.

01:02:16.000 He's just going to say, you know what?

01:02:18.000 That's the cost of doing business.

01:02:19.000 We had to pull out of Afghanistan and, you know, the hell with the consequences of how we did it. 0.97

01:02:24.000 You know, we couldn't really step into this.

01:02:26.000 We had to put some money into Ukraine.

01:02:27.000 We couldn't really focus on China because, you know, what's 150 plus billion committed and or sent?

01:02:34.000 So far.

01:02:35.000 It's the cause du jour.

01:02:36.000 Wanted to have Zelensky come over and speak to Congress because that's fun.

01:02:39.000 It's a hard ticket to get.

01:02:40.000 I was disappointed in our undercover unit because I never got this man's opinion on RFK Jr.

01:02:45.000 That's true.

01:02:46.000 And on his throat.

01:02:47.000 Is it real or is it play? 0.78

01:02:48.000 Get him a lozenge.

01:02:50.000 Sorry, Nick, you're about to say something before Jill gave his impassioned First of all, we keep saying and blaming Biden and we all know he's just a vessel.

01:02:59.000 Yes, that's true.

01:02:59.000 You know what I mean?

01:03:00.000 This is Liz Warren to me, Obama, AOC, the squad.

01:03:04.000 This is their foreign policy.

01:03:06.000 Yeah.

01:03:06.000 Let's not forget that.

01:03:07.000 Hit them all with it. 0.70

01:03:08.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:03:10.000 And this Riggs guy is like the perfect middle management guy.

01:03:13.000 He doesn't really, he's not emotionally involved.

01:03:16.000 Right.

01:03:17.000 You get that?

01:03:17.000 He's like, I was just doing my job.

01:03:19.000 That's exactly right.

01:03:20.000 You can see how he got appointed.

01:03:22.000 He's like, well, I'm a Democrat, but you know, this and if this, that he doesn't, I don't feel that emotion or that passion one way or the other, which is if you, if you dealt with a corporation, work with them, they're the middle management guy.

01:03:34.000 They know who to.

01:03:35.000 Right.

01:03:36.000 Who to hire as middle management.

01:03:37.000 They're the guys who come up at a corporate gig and go, by the way, Nick, you need to plug Ovaltine in the middle of your set.

01:03:41.000 What?

01:03:41.000 He's like, I don't have a dog in this fight.

01:03:44.000 I don't really have a teabag joke.

01:03:44.000 You have to do it.

01:03:46.000 Yes.

01:03:47.000 I don't know how to work it in.

01:03:48.000 Let me be clear, too.

01:03:49.000 Here's my, if I were president for a day, policy on the military.

01:03:54.000 What, you're not?

01:03:55.000 Come on! 0.61

01:03:57.000 I would say, alright, I want them to be as physically capable as possible, as mentally capable as possible, I want them to be as equipped as possible, as efficient as possible, and never have to use them.

01:04:08.000 But they're there if we need to.

01:04:10.000 Just like the artillery that I have bedside.

01:04:13.000 In my house.

01:04:16.000 It's great to know it's there, souped up, customized, really happy with it.

01:04:19.000 I like it.

01:04:20.000 But I never actually have to use it.

01:04:22.000 I hope I don't.

01:04:23.000 The view of the left is, we don't need GEDs, we don't need high school diplomas, we don't need physical fitness tests, you don't need to score even passable on an aptitude test, and let's send them out for any war that we can sign up for.

01:04:39.000 It's the same people, lower the standards as far as SATs, it's all the same.

01:04:44.000 It's taken this country, what made it great, to its knees intentionally.

01:04:49.000 Yeah.

01:04:50.000 And again, I think it's ten guys in a room, it's global, and Biden's leading the way.

01:04:55.000 When you talk about being out there in the thick of it, it's a matter of inches and seconds, the difference.

01:05:02.000 Look, I have not served in the military, it's not lost on me, and that's why we do what we can here.

01:05:05.000 I'm incredibly appreciative, especially living in the United States, where you have a formidable military.

01:05:11.000 I was raised in Canada, and that's not the case!

01:05:16.000 You know what the military does?

01:05:17.000 They have a red telephone.

01:05:18.000 Call the Americans! 0.95

01:05:19.000 Help! 0.98

01:05:21.000 And not, of course, the people who serve.

01:05:23.000 Thank you very much.

01:05:23.000 But as far as their government looking out for their people, they rely on the entire industrialized world.

01:05:28.000 Just to be clear, when we talk about the American military, let's not isolate this.

01:05:33.000 Europe, Canada, hey, countries in South America.

01:05:36.000 You know why you get to have a socialized medicine?

01:05:39.000 Because you don't defend yourselves.

01:05:42.000 Hold on a second.

01:05:43.000 Protect your own borders. 0.56

01:05:44.000 Keep your own land from being invaded without our money.

01:05:48.000 Go.

01:05:49.000 You're broke.

01:05:51.000 That's what our military is.

01:05:52.000 Our military is the military that protects the entire free world.

01:05:55.000 Let's be really clear.

01:05:56.000 It's always funny when people talk down to the United States.

01:05:58.000 They go, oh, you don't have socialized medicine here.

01:06:02.000 Yeah.

01:06:02.000 Really?

01:06:03.000 I kind of remember though when Russia went into Ukraine and your concern was that Russia

01:06:07.000 may at some point go to Poland which may be kind of too close to your borders.

01:06:11.000 They're not even close.

01:06:30.000 But the transies are having a great time.

01:06:32.000 What does that have to do with protecting the free world?

01:06:36.000 Our approach is capable, as humanly possible, never have to use them.

01:06:39.000 Theirs?

01:06:40.000 Handicap them, send them out there.

01:06:42.000 It's done under the guise of security.

01:06:44.000 It always is.

01:06:45.000 Yeah.

01:06:45.000 Whether it's TSA, it's always that.

01:06:47.000 Or they bring up the children.

01:06:48.000 Those are the two things.

01:06:50.000 But now it's paper thin.

01:06:52.000 Yeah, you're safer because you have pregnant women in fighter jets. 1.00

01:06:58.000 What?

01:07:00.000 Scrambled eggs.

01:07:01.000 And at least Trump said to the countries in NATO, hey, cough it up.

01:07:06.000 You think any of the Japanese World War II kamikaze pilots were worried about stretchy maternity suits?

01:07:11.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:07:15.000 Just aim at battleship. 0.96

01:07:18.000 Pregnant, pregnant lady. 1.00

01:07:19.000 We send the men to protect the pregnant lady. 0.99

01:07:21.000 Don't send to war.

01:07:23.000 I don't want to have muffin top when I clash with you.

01:07:27.000 This came from a culture that wears thongs as men. 0.93

01:07:31.000 Who?

01:07:32.000 They wear thongs? 1.00

01:07:32.000 The Japanese. 1.00

01:07:33.000 Come on.

01:07:34.000 Oh, the sumo wrestlers.

01:07:35.000 Sumo, well, but also the white thing. 0.90

01:07:36.000 That was a little bit of a stretch.

01:07:38.000 That was also a racist statement.

01:07:40.000 And you're better than that.

01:07:41.000 I expect more from you.

01:07:42.000 I am not.

01:07:43.000 They're not thongs.

01:07:44.000 They're diapers.

01:07:45.000 I have wine.

01:07:47.000 And I believe, I don't know if we have Jack.

01:07:49.000 Okay, so we actually do have now, and we will be highlighting some of the military charities who we've been working with.

01:07:54.000 But coming up, we're excited to have this gentleman.

01:07:56.000 He is actually a former Navy SEAL sniper, and he is the host of the Danger Close podcast.

01:08:02.000 He has a book right now, Red Sky Morning.

01:08:05.000 That's, I believe, morning.

01:08:06.000 There you go.

01:08:07.000 See, it's play on words because it's M-O-U-R to people listening in audio.

01:08:12.000 You may have thought it was morning, but it's not.

01:08:14.000 Because it's Red Sky Morning, Sailor Take Morning.

01:08:17.000 No, no, it's Red Sky Morning, so I like what he did there.

01:08:19.000 It's available for pre-order.

01:08:21.000 I think it comes out in June.

01:08:22.000 Let's bring on Jack Carr.

01:08:29.000 Mr. Carr, and by the way, people can follow you at JackCarr2RsUSA on X.

01:08:35.000 I wanted to get your opinion, as someone who has served in a way that people could argue

01:08:40.000 very prolific.

01:08:42.000 Were you watching?

01:08:42.000 Did you see the footage?

01:08:43.000 And what is your reaction as someone who's been on the ground?

01:08:46.000 I saw that earlier today.

01:08:47.000 I don't know if I saw the whole thing that you guys showed earlier because I just hopped on, but, well, a couple things.

01:08:53.000 First off, that watch was pretty interesting.

01:08:55.000 Like, that watch was, like, very large and just, like, a lot going on with the watch.

01:09:00.000 I think he stole it from a local Cher fan club, but yes.

01:09:03.000 So there's something going on there.

01:09:05.000 I don't know if you noticed the hand wringing.

01:09:05.000 And then the hand wringing.

01:09:07.000 There's a lot of this going on.

01:09:08.000 Yes.

01:09:08.000 Which was odd and distracting as well.

01:09:11.000 And I didn't get the setup to that.

01:09:12.000 Was that a date?

01:09:13.000 Was that like an undercover date type operation?

01:09:15.000 Yeah, it was a date-ish.

01:09:16.000 Yes.

01:09:17.000 Where were they?

01:09:18.000 Where were they on this date?

01:09:19.000 I mean, it looked like they were like in a cafeteria of some sort.

01:09:22.000 I know.

01:09:22.000 And by the way, it's a very expensive restaurant, but yes, it looks like a public stall.

01:09:26.000 I know.

01:09:26.000 Yeah, it really did.

01:09:27.000 There's a bathroom right behind them.

01:09:28.000 Some people going in and out.

01:09:29.000 Look, they were like halfway in.

01:09:31.000 So what is that restaurant?

01:09:32.000 It's a nice place?

01:09:33.000 It is.

01:09:33.000 I don't know if I want to ruin the reputation of the restaurant.

01:09:36.000 I forget the name, but you have a nice view overlooking the urinal.

01:09:39.000 It's something corralled.

01:09:40.000 Yes, it's something corral.

01:09:42.000 Golden shower corral.

01:09:45.000 Yes, so, but yes.

01:09:46.000 And I will say this, no alcohol was served, to be clear, because I know that they'll say this guy was drunk, he doesn't matter, he's an underling.

01:09:51.000 None of that is true.

01:09:52.000 We've laid out the receipts.

01:09:53.000 What did you think about some of his comments, particularly on China and on the issues regarding the military recruiting shortfall?

01:10:01.000 I mean, we've seen that for the last few years now.

01:10:01.000 Right.

01:10:03.000 It should come as no surprise, especially to those who, well, you didn't have to follow along for the 20 years that we were in Afghanistan.

01:10:10.000 You could just pay attention for a little bit there near the end, particularly in August of 2021, when we actually left, yet had 20 years to prepare for that eventuality.

01:10:19.000 And so parents, people just getting ready to go into the military, maybe they're in high school, they're thinking about taking that route, they're in college, whatever it might be.

01:10:27.000 And that was the best our military had to offer after 20 years of preparation.

01:10:33.000 And you got to see it happen in real time.

01:10:35.000 So that was probably the worst recruiting video you could possibly have.

01:10:38.000 13 dead Americans to say nothing about those who are living with the lifelong physical

01:10:43.000 and emotional trauma of the bombing at Abbey Gate.

01:10:46.000 So you get to watch that in real time.

01:10:48.000 So do you think a parent is gonna say, hey, you know what, we just saw this performance

01:10:52.000 for the United States military.

01:10:53.000 Well, I was watching for 20 years.

01:10:54.000 You might've been watching for the last four, but I recommend that you go and join this organization

01:10:59.000 and serve this country.

01:11:02.000 lay your life on the line after what we saw in those videos and on the news.

01:11:06.000 Well, you don't think a little DEI brings them back into the fold? 0.78

01:11:08.000 That's not enough to sweeten the pot?

01:11:11.000 It seems like they could have done a little bit better if they're thinking,

01:11:13.000 OK, we had this horrible performance, not just in Afghanistan, but also in Iraq.

01:11:17.000 Also, Vietnam, everything really since the end of World War Two, since 1947,

01:11:21.000 since they changed the Department of the War Department to the Department of Defense.

01:11:25.000 Like that's where really things started to change.

01:11:27.000 Complete loss of accountability.

01:11:29.000 Up to World War Two, you had Lincoln firing generals left and right in the Civil War until he got to Grant.

01:11:35.000 You had George Marshall in the lead up to World War Two and all the way through World War Two, firing general after general, admiral after admiral, if they didn't measure up.

01:11:44.000 And so that allowed them to get the right people in place to win those wars.

01:11:47.000 For some reason, when we change the War Departments, the Department of Defense, there's a shift.

01:11:51.000 Precision in language, reflecting precision in thought.

01:11:54.000 Things shift.

01:11:55.000 And ever since then, how many admirals and generals have been held accountable Well, that's not even a metric they care about now.

01:12:00.000 been fired for affairs and you know whatever else that sort of thing but for performance.

01:12:05.000 Well that's not even a metric they care about now that's what he said.

01:12:07.000 It's time and rate you spend your time you don't get too many DUIs you don't piss positive on a on

01:12:14.000 on a test then you are going to rise to the top of the United States military and how many generals

01:12:19.000 and admirals do we have now compared to what we had in World War II? Oh my...

01:12:23.000 It is a top-heavy organization now at those ranks, at those flag-level ranks.

01:12:28.000 So it shouldn't be a surprise that those kind of people stay in and come up with this bright idea to recruit the next generation with this, not with amazing films like we had in the 80s growing up.

01:12:39.000 You're watching First Blood, Rambo, First Blood Part II, Predator, Commando, The Delta Force.

01:12:44.000 You're having all these amazing films.

01:12:46.000 Now what do we have?

01:12:47.000 Not really that.

01:12:48.000 And we have TikTok and China, and we have all these other influences that are not really positive.

01:12:54.000 The power of popular culture has shifted and not in a way that helps the military.

01:12:58.000 So they come up with DEI to bring people in.

01:13:02.000 It's not making us better prepared for war, which should be The singular focus of the military.

01:13:07.000 And let me ask you about that, because he says that China is our greatest foe.

01:13:10.000 He says China is, of course, right here in the offices.

01:13:12.000 We all know China.

01:13:13.000 We don't talk about it publicly, but we all know that's the case.

01:13:16.000 Let me ask you, point blank, is the United States military right now, if something were to break out, which is very possible, you know, if you're talking about what's happening in the Taiwan Strait and what China wants to do, what they've stated, point blank, is the United States military right now prepared to handle any kind of a major war?

01:13:32.000 I think that China believes they're already at war with the United States.

01:13:37.000 We saw that with Iran starting really in 1979 and before if you saw what the CIA was doing meddling in the Middle East before that.

01:13:43.000 But let's say 1979 onward.

01:13:46.000 Proxy attacks throughout the region, Europe even.

01:13:50.000 So Iran through its proxies has been at war with us for quite some time.

01:13:54.000 The same thing's happening with China.

01:13:56.000 I mean, you can go all the way back to Sun Tzu and read those writings that talk about deception, the importance of deception, how to win a war battle without firing a shot.

01:14:05.000 Those are the basic principles that Chinese strategy is based upon.

01:14:09.000 So they're at war with us right now.

01:14:12.000 Buying off politicians, politicians leaving office, all of a sudden having direct connections to Chinese companies that are obviously connected to that government. 0.93

01:14:22.000 Don't forget Eric Swalwell was fornicating with a Chinese spy.

01:14:25.000 I mention that every time I can because nothing's happened to him.

01:14:28.000 Nothing, nothing.

01:14:29.000 It's incredible.

01:14:31.000 So they, I mean, they are playing this game that they are very good at.

01:14:35.000 We're bad at, we're not very good at it.

01:14:37.000 Anyway, recognizing when someone is at war with us, but they have this influence, this slow influence that's been building up over time, buying politicians, buying land next to military bases, not just the United States, but all around the world, influencing us with TikTok, influencing our response to COVID.

01:14:55.000 There's just so many things that are adding up that point us to the obvious conclusion that China's already at war with us.

01:15:02.000 They're not just setting the stage and they might win this war without firing a shot, which The penultimate goal.

01:15:08.000 That is a terrifying thought.

01:15:09.000 Let me ask you this.

01:15:11.000 Why did you join the military?

01:15:13.000 And then I have a follow-up.

01:15:13.000 I think it was just in my blood from a very early age.

01:15:16.000 My grandfather was killed in World War II.

01:15:18.000 He was a fighter pilot, flew the Corsair, which is the plane with the gold wings that would fold up like this.

01:15:23.000 There was, again, the power of popular culture.

01:15:25.000 There was a show called Black Sheep Squadron.

01:15:27.000 I watched it in syndication in the early 80s, but it was aired in the 70s.

01:15:31.000 About Pappy Boynton.

01:15:33.000 Robert Conrad played Pappy Boynton, Medal of Honor recipient, who flew that same plane as my grandfather.

01:15:37.000 So I got to watch those with my dad.

01:15:39.000 Of course, all the movies that I'm watching of my dad's generation and then my generation as I go through the 80s.

01:15:45.000 So it's just in my blood.

01:15:46.000 I'm going to serve.

01:15:47.000 And I find out what SEALs are at the ripe old age of seven.

01:15:50.000 And from there and through, once again, through a movie called The Frogman,

01:15:53.000 old black and white film that I saw during commercials when I was allowed to switch from football

01:15:58.000 to the strange channel that was the outlier, not ABC, CBS, NBC, but the one outlier

01:16:03.000 that was always playing a war movie on Sundays.

01:16:05.000 So I'd watch those like two and a half minutes and my dad would say, switch it back.

01:16:08.000 And I'd switch it back being the remote control, as those of us who grew up in the 80s and 70s

01:16:11.000 were the remote control back then.

01:16:13.000 And so I found out what SEALs were and my mom was a librarian,

01:16:16.000 so I went down to a local library, did some research on SEALs and special operations,

01:16:20.000 found out that they're some of the most elite operators in the United States military

01:16:24.000 and that the training is some of the toughest ever devised by a modern military.

01:16:27.000 So I was in.

01:16:28.000 So I was gonna serve my country one way or another and wanted to test myself as well.

01:16:32.000 And also quite possible that she thought I'd grow out of it.

01:16:34.000 Like, a lot of times you grow out of it.

01:16:35.000 You're a kid, you want to be an astronaut, you want to do this or something, and you kind of grow out of it.

01:16:39.000 She knew what they were going to do, said, yeah, why don't you sign up for that, son?

01:16:42.000 It's quite possible. And also quite possible that she thought I'd grow out of it. Like a lot

01:16:46.000 of times you grow out of it. You're a kid, you want to be an astronaut, you want to do this

01:16:49.000 or something and you kind of grow out of it. So I think her hope along the way is that I'd

01:16:53.000 grow out of it, but I never did. Think about the movies the seven-year-olds are exposed to today.

01:16:57.000 Yeah, I know.

01:16:57.000 It's not going to lead to being a SEAL.

01:16:59.000 No, it's not.

01:17:00.000 It's going to lead to being Ryan Gosling and Barbie.

01:17:03.000 Looking mostly at butts for buds.

01:17:06.000 What?

01:17:06.000 Well, there's nothing wrong with butts if it's the right kind.

01:17:08.000 This man has served his country.

01:17:10.000 Let's make sure this isn't an honorable interview.

01:17:13.000 Let me ask you this, Jack.

01:17:15.000 Would you, so that's, you said it was in your blood.

01:17:17.000 Do you think you would today, if you're a 20 year old kid, 18 year old kid, you'd think that you'd join the military now?

01:17:23.000 Or do you think you'd be more hesitant?

01:17:25.000 I think I would, just because of that draw.

01:17:27.000 I recognized that draw early on, not just for me, but because I'm a student of history and have been my entire life.

01:17:33.000 I recognize that it used to be a prerequisite before joining the community, before joining the tribe, because you had to prove that you could add value to that tribe.

01:17:41.000 And it was important back then, because you had to, otherwise the species was not going to continue.

01:17:45.000 Today, you do not have to.

01:17:48.000 But I think I recognize that.

01:17:49.000 And I think a lot of people, young men in particular, who hit that certain age and don't do something that tests themselves physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, whatever it might be, and they just move on into life.

01:18:00.000 And by the time they get into their 30s, 40s, there's something missing.

01:18:03.000 And if they look back, I think it's that critical component.

01:18:06.000 Now, back in a long time ago, it was between ages like 12 and 16.

01:18:09.000 Let's say for us between 17 and 21, 22, right in there is that timeframe where there's this draw.

01:18:14.000 And in this country, it's typically To go to Marine Boot Camp.

01:18:17.000 That's the one that comes to people's minds most often.

01:18:19.000 But there's also Army Special Forces Q Course, there's Ranger School, there's SEAL Training Buds.

01:18:24.000 Something that tests you.

01:18:26.000 And that part, if you don't do it when you're young, then it's kind of hard to catch up later on.

01:18:31.000 But I recognized that earlier and I think I still would today.

01:18:34.000 But I'm also very aware that I'd be stepping in to an organization that is different than it was 20 years prior, if I'm looking back into the pages of history.

01:18:42.000 Yeah, I would imagine that a lot of people who, let's say they felt the way that you did, right?

01:18:46.000 They had that pull inside of them.

01:18:49.000 They felt that calling.

01:18:51.000 It's got to give you pause if you go, hold on a second, am I going in here with the most qualified teammate next to me?

01:18:57.000 Or am I going in with someone who has no business being there?

01:18:59.000 Wait a second, the person next to me watching my back.

01:19:02.000 May have no GED, may not be able to do a push-up and score to 10 on the aptitude, but they're there because it's the right color skin or the right orientation, insert whatever ism here today. 0.74

01:19:13.000 I tell you, I know a lot of people who served in the military who have said, I don't know if I'd join today.

01:19:18.000 No, it's more, I think the question is, would you encourage or discourage or be neutral to a son or daughter who comes to you at age 17, 18, 19 and says, Hey dad, I'm thinking about joining.

01:19:18.000 Yeah.

01:19:28.000 What do you, what do you think?

01:19:30.000 And it's about providing and having that conversation with them and providing as much information as you can to set the stage for what they're, so as long as they're going in eyes open, it shouldn't be a surprise that they're stepping in to an organization where at least at the top, the priorities seem a bit skewed on the one hand.

01:19:46.000 And then of course, incompetence, On the other hand, also prevails, it seems time and time again, because you can go back to every single Admiral General who got up there in front of Congress over 20 years at war, and essentially said the same thing.

01:19:58.000 You can go back and look at 2023, 2026, 2029.

01:20:01.000 They said the same thing, used the same buzzwords.

01:20:05.000 We're making progress, just need a little more time, a little more money, like those things they said for 20 years.

01:20:12.000 And eventually, People are going to wake up to the fact that, hey, at the top, we need some changes.

01:20:16.000 And what does that mean?

01:20:17.000 It means a bold adjustment.

01:20:19.000 What Lincoln did during the Civil War, what George Marshall did in the lead up and through World War II, which is fire the flag officers, fire the generals, fire the admirals, put people up there because of their competence, not because of their time and rate.

01:20:30.000 Well, it's going to be very different history if it continues down this path.

01:20:34.000 A few generations down the line, maybe reading about Custer's last negligee.

01:20:38.000 Gerald, you had a question.

01:20:39.000 Well, and so, Jack, thank you very much for all you've done for You know, the military, and for obviously speaking about these issues, like I was going to ask you, and you kind of answered it in the last part of your response there, the specific changes that you need, do you think getting rid of these generals and getting rid of these flag officer positions and being able to kind of move through those would do it?

01:20:57.000 Or really, I mean, it kind of presupposes that you have somebody with the balls to do that that is their commander in chief.

01:21:04.000 Right. 0.62

01:21:05.000 The question is, where are the next George Marshalls?

01:21:07.000 Do they even exist?

01:21:08.000 Or is this organization such a gigantic bureaucracy at this point where you can't move it in a certain direction?

01:21:14.000 You can't make these systemic shifts that need to be made, these bold adjustments.

01:21:20.000 And I don't know the answer to that question.

01:21:21.000 It seems like we should have learned our lesson.

01:21:24.000 After 1947, when we look at Vietnam, when we move even through the 80s and the 90s and obviously the last 20 years, it seems like we're not capable of making those changes because this thing is so large and it is so bureaucratic. 0.97

01:21:36.000 It is so top heavy.

01:21:37.000 And it is so powerful.

01:21:40.000 And also, I hate to say it, maybe it is something that some sort of outside event that will force us to do that.

01:21:47.000 And whether that's war with China, or it's some natural disaster, whatever it might be.

01:21:51.000 But at this stage, that's kind of where I'm what I think it would take to for those changes to occur.

01:21:57.000 But it's about accountability.

01:21:58.000 There's a complete lack of accountability.

01:22:00.000 Without reinstituting accountability, we're going to stay on the same track that we're on now.

01:22:04.000 My problem, though, with that is that if there is some kind of event, wouldn't it be too late then?

01:22:08.000 Wouldn't we be too far down the path, essentially, to be able to turn this thing around?

01:22:13.000 Yeah, but the one thing that gives me hope is that we are adaptable.

01:22:16.000 And also another thing that gives me hope because I try to look at when I sit down at the end of the day and have a glass of wine with my wife on the couch, try to look for something to be hopeful about.

01:22:23.000 And it is looking at the end of the Civil War and how we came back together.

01:22:27.000 We fought ourselves in our country in the bloodiest war we've ever been in.

01:22:30.000 And yet somehow, we came back together after the Civil War.

01:22:33.000 So looking back at that, that gives me a little bit of hope because we're not there yet.

01:22:38.000 But it proves that we can come together.

01:22:40.000 Yes, the primary difference, though, was by the end of that war, those people weren't amputees by choice.

01:22:45.000 We're sending in people right now who are being amputated pre-war, which used to be, wait, what?

01:22:50.000 You just got amputated?

01:22:52.000 Well, you're not mentally fit to be out there in battle.

01:22:54.000 That's a significant difference, true.

01:22:56.000 And we also didn't have social media.

01:22:58.000 We didn't have these companies and institutions so powerful that they can change Behaviors and thoughts because of what you're carrying around in your hand.

01:23:07.000 So I often wonder if we did have social media, had that technology at the end of the Civil War, if we had that in the mid 1860s, would we still be here as a country today?

01:23:15.000 Yeah, back then our social media was dropping leaflets on Hiroshima to let them know like, hey, we're coming.

01:23:20.000 So let me ask you this.

01:23:22.000 Your book, Red Sky Morning, can you tell people about it before you go?

01:23:26.000 Because I know it's available in June.

01:23:28.000 So it's the seventh book in the James Reese Terminalist series.

01:23:28.000 It is.

01:23:31.000 Chris Pratt stars in the Amazon adaptation of my first novel.

01:23:34.000 So this is number seven, which was fun for me to write because I got to put in these nods to Ian Fleming and James Bond in there as well for fans of that series because it was very influential on me growing up.

01:23:44.000 But this one is really about loyalty.

01:23:46.000 Each book has a theme.

01:23:47.000 This is about loyalty, but it's also about artificial intelligence, quantum computing, passive targeting, hypersonic weapons, and what that means when you're looking at the United States.

01:23:58.000 So all of that is thrown together in the pages of Red Sky Morning.

01:23:58.000 And China.

01:24:02.000 And I know that Fleming and James Bond was an influence on you, but I would imagine that yours are more accurate as it relates to the weapons used.

01:24:10.000 Remember in James Bond when he gives him the .

01:24:11.000 .

01:24:11.000 but he gives him the .

01:24:18.000 .

01:24:19.000 the .

01:24:19.000 .

01:24:20.000 Yep, he has an even smaller one before that.

01:24:21.000 Yeah, the Beretta 25, I think, right?

01:24:24.000 Yeah, and it's kind of, exactly, nice, nice work, nice work.

01:24:26.000 It's actually, I have one right over there in the safe.

01:24:29.000 But it's, it's interesting because those ones you kind of suspend disbelief, which is fun.

01:24:33.000 So you if you're no going into them, that you don't need to look for accuracy and weapons and tactics and those sorts

01:24:39.000 of things, you go into that for the fun of it. Whereas some

01:24:42.000 other shows, it's you're looking for those that that authenticity

01:24:46.000 and you're looking for that touch point with reality. But so

01:24:48.000 they're kind of different. So I give them I give them a little

01:24:50.000 bit of leeway when it comes to the the tactics in the weathery.

01:24:53.000 Yes, no, it was it was fun. But a lot of people don't because

01:24:56.000 Walther obviously a sponsor of the show, but a lot of people

01:24:58.000 don't realize his first gun was a Beretta. And it was a 32 not

01:25:01.000 the 380 because they don't sell 32. Almost nobody buys that But a .32, look, will it shoot a man dead?

01:25:06.000 Sure.

01:25:07.000 It's not like throwing a brick through a plate class window.

01:25:10.000 I don't want to get shot with anything.

01:25:12.000 No, I don't want to get shot with anything either, but he acts like he's walking in with a howitzer.

01:25:16.000 All right, Jack Carr.

01:25:18.000 We have some other guests to get to here today.

01:25:21.000 It's at Jack Carr USA on Axe.

01:25:24.000 Axe.

01:25:24.000 Sounds like a body spray.

01:25:25.000 Axe.

01:25:26.000 Axe.

01:25:27.000 I said axe. 1.00

01:25:28.000 I'm an idiot. 0.77

01:25:29.000 Thank you very much for taking the time and thank you for everything you've done for the country, sir. 0.93

01:25:32.000 We appreciate it.

01:25:34.000 Take care.

01:25:34.000 Thanks so much.

01:25:35.000 Jack Carr, everybody!

01:25:35.000 Be well.

01:25:36.000 See, he gave me a compliment because I knew about the shitty, shitty early weapons of 0.98

01:25:47.000 Really? 0.99

01:25:47.000 Not the Walther, the Beretta. 0.99

01:25:51.000 Not that Beretta only makes crap, but did you realize, I think the .25 is the most useless caliber that's ever existed? 0.91

01:25:56.000 It's basically a .22, only more expensive to produce because it's rimfire, it's centerfire. 0.98

01:26:01.000 Like, can we take a .22, but make it less mass-producible?

01:26:07.000 We'll make a lot of money on it though.

01:26:08.000 Yes, exactly.

01:26:09.000 Just the number 25 doesn't sound scary.

01:26:11.000 It doesn't make any sense. 1.00

01:26:12.000 I'll shoot you with my 25! 0.99

01:26:14.000 You got a quarter? 0.99

01:26:16.000 I think this man, at the end of the night, he sits down for a nice Chianti.

01:26:22.000 And what brings him hope is thinking about the Civil War.

01:26:26.000 Yes.

01:26:27.000 Now, I understand in the context that he's talking about, but I was like, jeez, I didn't expect you to go to the bloodiest conflict in human history, I think.

01:26:33.000 At least, you know, for us.

01:26:35.000 Somebody needs some killing. 0.97

01:26:36.000 So I named that movie line. 0.95

01:26:39.000 You can comment below. 0.99

01:26:41.000 Killed them all. 1.00

01:26:41.000 They're all dead. 1.00

01:26:41.000 Nope. 1.00

01:26:42.000 By the way, as we go into this election season, just know that Mug Club Undercover, people out there right now, the campaigns, the rallies, these boots on the ground, they have no idea where Mug Club Undercover operates.

01:26:55.000 We have a lot right now, a lot of irons in the fires.

01:26:59.000 As we lead into the election time, so every dollar does go to them.

01:27:03.000 They're out there, they're sticking their necks out there for you guys, putting their reputations on the line.

01:27:07.000 Do consider it at lionelscotter.com.

01:27:09.000 And tonight, only $20 off, and I'm matching the 10% charity donation from every, up to $10,000.

01:27:17.000 And that was kind of, I was told to do it, and I was like, but I don't want to.

01:27:21.000 What would you do?

01:27:22.000 You know what, I'm going to promise right now, and Gerald's giving $10,000, and Toolman's giving $10,000, and Nick's giving $10,000.

01:27:30.000 To who?

01:27:30.000 Josh!

01:27:31.000 $10,000 for you two.

01:27:32.000 Whatever I say.

01:27:33.000 Wait, you're giving it to us?

01:27:34.000 No, you're giving it to these charities.

01:27:36.000 Guys, you heard it here first.

01:27:37.000 He's giving us $10,000.

01:27:37.000 Look, on a serious note...

01:27:42.000 We've made a lot of progress in just a couple of weeks since we did that live stream where we added so many people to Mud Club.

01:27:47.000 Thank you guys very much for joining and stepping up and kind of jumping into the fight with us.

01:27:51.000 We've already got access to the information so that we can have our live information for you guys.

01:27:56.000 That's not just available by going to some random website.

01:27:58.000 There's a lot of testing.

01:27:59.000 There's months of stuff to do.

01:28:00.000 We've got people that we've already started contracting with.

01:28:03.000 On the ground, we are moving very quickly to set this up so that mainstream media doesn't need to be the place you go for election news anymore.

01:28:10.000 We're not going to cover it and look at their bad calls.

01:28:13.000 We have the raw data coming in to us.

01:28:16.000 Already had that set up thanks to you, Mug Club, so we appreciate it.

01:28:19.000 That is just one of the many things that we are doing right now.

01:28:21.000 And look, over the next couple of months as we get into this, before, really until June 27th, we're going to have a live stream that night to cover the debate between Biden and Donald Trump.

01:28:29.000 There are going to be updates that we give you along the way as we hit these milestones for actually finishing what we told you we were going to do that night.

01:28:37.000 Every single time you jump in with us, we get further along.

01:28:41.000 So thank you for doing it.

01:28:42.000 Do it right now, USA 20.

01:28:44.000 I'm still sticking with it.

01:28:46.000 He's not going to be debating Biden.

01:28:49.000 He's not going to be out by June 27th.

01:28:50.000 He might not be the candidate.

01:28:52.000 It's not gonna be.

01:28:53.000 ♪ ♪

01:29:33.000 ♪ I'm telling you, Trump's first question should be,

01:29:40.000 walk from here to that wall over there.

01:29:43.000 And then do the thing.

01:29:44.000 Touch your nose.

01:29:45.000 Close your eyes and touch your nose. 1.00

01:29:46.000 And he'll shit himself. 1.00

01:29:46.000 Yes. 1.00

01:29:48.000 Touch your nose like it's a six-year-old just sniffing.

01:29:50.000 And fight.

01:29:53.000 And the debate's on.

01:29:55.000 I can't believe.

01:29:56.000 I just can't.

01:29:57.000 There's not enough medicine or coke.

01:29:57.000 In any way.

01:30:00.000 To get this guy in mental shape to even fake a debate.

01:30:04.000 Hold on, well Hunter does have the connection to Coke.

01:30:07.000 He does have the connection.

01:30:08.000 If anyone could make it happen it would be Hunter.

01:30:10.000 I'm telling you.

01:30:11.000 You know what Nick?

01:30:12.000 every single person right now. I kid.

01:30:14.000 At a standard from higher like, you know, like, like, you know,

01:30:36.000 say is ABCs.

01:30:37.000 Tch.

01:30:38.000 All right.

01:30:39.000 I'll give you that.

01:30:40.000 Say your ABCs, Biden.

01:30:42.000 A. Backwards.

01:30:44.000 No!

01:30:45.000 Z. What comes after Q? 0.53

01:30:48.000 What comes after Q?

01:30:49.000 What comes before Q?

01:30:50.000 We're going backwards.

01:30:51.000 Oh, he doesn't know.

01:30:52.000 P. Is it R? 0.62

01:30:55.000 I can't remember.

01:30:57.000 Maybe Kamala can help you. 0.97

01:30:59.000 Oh, she's too busy holding black inmates in for longer than they're sentenced to use them as slave labor. 1.00

01:31:04.000 Wow! 0.96

01:31:05.000 Remember the primaries five years ago?

01:31:07.000 It opens up at 10 whenever it was.

01:31:09.000 Yeah.

01:31:09.000 The debate opens up.

01:31:11.000 There was eight podiums.

01:31:12.000 He's the only one facing away from the camera.

01:31:14.000 He said eight o'clock.

01:31:16.000 What the hell's going on?

01:31:17.000 My favorite moment in all those debates was just him looming behind Hillary Clinton.

01:31:20.000 Remember in 2016?

01:31:22.000 I meant Biden.

01:31:23.000 But I was talking about the primaries.

01:31:23.000 Oh, Biden, sorry.

01:31:24.000 I'm not making myself clear to you.

01:31:25.000 No, I'm not making myself clear because... You know I hate Biden and love Trump, right?

01:31:32.000 Well, thanks for clarifying.

01:31:34.000 I appreciate it.

01:31:34.000 I don't need your endorsement.

01:31:37.000 So, before I move on here, too, I want to fill you in on this next organization of charity.

01:31:43.000 It's actually called... NAACP.

01:31:46.000 You're making it tough for... Oh, wait, hold on a second.

01:31:48.000 CNN right now, they're doing a flashback to the debate.

01:31:50.000 Watch, they're going to show us highlights.

01:31:53.000 Ah, it's the Broadway with Harry Forearms.

01:31:55.000 Alright.

01:31:57.000 I know, like Robin Williams.

01:31:58.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:32:00.000 Oh, look, debate. 1.00

01:32:01.000 Ooh, look, Ryan has a small penis. 1.00

01:32:03.000 What? 0.99

01:32:05.000 So, this next organization was founded by a veteran Navy SEAL, Clint Bruce, and also, I should say, Stephen Hawley, and it's called Carry the Load.

01:32:15.000 Now, they started as a mission to restore what they view to be the true meaning, and we should all share the view, of Memorial Day.

01:32:21.000 And now it includes more than just military heroes, and it's more than just one holiday.

01:32:26.000 They actually work to bring Americans together of all stripes, and to help participate in honoring the heroes of our nation every day.

01:32:37.000 Which I know, it kind of sounds like, oh, Christmas can be, you hear that in movies, like, Christmas can be every day if you keep it in your heart all year long.

01:32:43.000 You try that in July, that doesn't work.

01:32:45.000 In this case, they actually do work every day of the year.

01:32:48.000 Let's just learn a little bit about what Carry the Load does.

01:33:53.000 I see an empty Chardonnay glass by a fireplace.

01:33:57.000 Gerald had to duck out because I believe that Mr. Riggs has called our investigative journalist right now and Gerald may be on the phone with him right now as we speak.

01:34:06.000 That's pretty cool.

01:34:07.000 For a follow-up.

01:34:08.000 I was trying to call him before the program but you know.

01:34:11.000 He disappeared, so.

01:34:12.000 Yeah, hopefully we can flip it in time.

01:34:15.000 Stay online broadcasting.

01:34:17.000 He's right now out there in his office, I believe, speaking.

01:34:19.000 If anything good comes of it, we'll see.

01:34:20.000 Can you just speculate?

01:34:21.000 What do you think that phone call sounds like?

01:34:24.000 What would Mr. Riggs be saying?

01:34:26.000 No!

01:34:26.000 That's what I would imagine a lot of that.

01:34:29.000 No?

01:34:30.000 Huh?

01:34:31.000 What?

01:34:32.000 Or, so is... You broke my heart!

01:34:35.000 She was beautiful!

01:34:36.000 So is Cindy... 0.93

01:34:38.000 Still gonna call?

01:34:38.000 I guess now it's like, you know, we're not... I'm not crapping where I eat.

01:34:41.000 We're not working together.

01:34:42.000 Can she call me?

01:34:43.000 I think maybe what's going to happen... I'm unemployed!

01:34:46.000 He's hoping for it to be like a rom-com because our investigative journalist, right, everyone really likes her.

01:34:51.000 She's very sweet and she's a beautiful woman.

01:34:54.000 She's married, by the way, just to be clear.

01:34:55.000 But I bet you he probably thinks it's like some rom-com, like, Really?

01:34:58.000 Now it's the part where you're gonna tell me that at first it started out as a job because you were undercover but you actually developed real feelings for me and then you're gonna try and come back to me and maybe like see me through a window at I don't know like high tea time and you think I'm with another woman and we miss each other but it's actually my sister and I come back at your wedding and object and that's gonna be you and I right going like to Fiji and she's like no no we just exposed the corruption and you're out of a job.

01:35:20.000 Yeah shut your hole. 1.00

01:35:22.000 That would be my comment below what you see transpiring. 1.00

01:35:24.000 Shut your whole family up.

01:35:26.000 I'm very curious to know what's going on.

01:35:27.000 If I could be a fly on that one.

01:35:29.000 I want to hear screaming. 1.00

01:35:30.000 I want to hear Gerald going, I'll fucking rip your face off. 1.00

01:35:34.000 You bitch. 1.00

01:35:35.000 You probably had pumps on under the table when you were talking to her. 1.00

01:35:38.000 You silly girl slash fella. 1.00

01:35:40.000 Speaking of which, we have a very lovely lady to come onto the program next. 1.00

01:35:43.000 Please welcome Howie Johnson of Carry the Load here to the show.

01:35:46.000 Done.

01:35:47.000 All right.

01:35:48.000 No help.

01:35:49.000 All right.

01:35:52.000 Miss Johnson, thank you for being here.

01:35:54.000 Can you see and hear me?

01:35:56.000 Yes, can you hear me?

01:35:57.000 Yes, I can.

01:35:58.000 It's John Stun.

01:35:58.000 Thank you very much.

01:36:00.000 It's what?

01:36:01.000 It's John Stun, not Johnson.

01:36:02.000 Did I say Johnson?

01:36:03.000 Yeah.

01:36:05.000 That's because you were talking about pumps and we were talking... Oh, don't blame me.

01:36:08.000 I'm trying to help a girl out.

01:36:12.000 Johnston & Johnston.

01:36:13.000 It's a family show.

01:36:14.000 So, please, Ms.

01:36:16.000 Johnston, tell us about Carry the Load, the organization, and how it got started.

01:36:20.000 And what is it that you do?

01:36:21.000 We're trying to highlight these organizations that do good work every day across the country.

01:36:25.000 A lot of people don't know.

01:36:27.000 Absolutely.

01:36:28.000 So, again, back in 2011, Carry the Load was founded by two former Navy SEALs, Clint Bruce and Stephen Hawley, who were It was birthed out of anger, right?

01:36:39.000 They had many tours over in Afghanistan, Iraq, and lost many friends, battle buddies, and they saw a nation that wasn't.

01:36:51.000 Treating memorial and honoring those that we have lost in the line of duty, right?

01:36:55.000 So they birthed carry the load out of the city of Dallas. 0.53

01:36:59.000 So since 2011, carrying loads mission has expanded to not only honor military, but expand to our other sacrificial services, law, law enforcement and.

01:37:11.000 Fire throughout May honoring their sacrifices and then truly leaving Memorial Day to honor those that died in the line of duty and pay the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

01:37:22.000 And it has expanded to a national campaign.

01:37:26.000 And can you let people know what is the specific goal of, you know, carry the load organization as it relates to Memorial Day?

01:37:32.000 So, right now, our Memorial May campaign is going on.

01:37:37.000 So, it's a 28-day campaign where we have five national relays that are traveling through the 48 states.

01:37:44.000 I would say, number one, raising awareness to the sacrifices of those in your own communities, but also raising funds to support the men and women that do make it home in mind, body, and soul healing.

01:37:57.000 Wow, so you're doing it for, again, a lot of people don't know, and you run into this a lot, that it's Military Appreciation Month.

01:38:02.000 We hear people complain a lot that, oh, our veterans, they get a day, and there's LGBTQAI Month, and there's about, I think we averaged it out, it was about 67 days for people of different, you know, sexual orientations or genders, as we have to use both terms now, and a lot of people aren't aware that there's an entire month, the Military Appreciation Month.

01:38:22.000 You know, I'm glad it's more than a day.

01:38:23.000 I'm glad it's a month.

01:38:24.000 I wish, I honestly wish it was all year round, continuously.

01:38:27.000 We have phenomenal sponsors and a lot of folks that continue to come out year over year.

01:38:32.000 And it's one of those missions and experiences that you don't truly understand until you take part in it.

01:38:39.000 I'm a veteran myself, my entire family, mom, dad, both brothers, both grandfathers.

01:38:44.000 And again, there's nothing like sacrificing for this country and the families that lose someone It's our mission, again, for the generations to come to ensure that their legacy lives on.

01:38:58.000 We appreciate the work that you're doing.

01:39:00.000 And, you know, what we're doing here is 10% of every sign up here this month goes to a military charities, a portion of which will be going to carry the load.

01:39:09.000 So we want people to know that and see the work that you do.

01:39:11.000 But for people, by the way, who aren't maybe necessarily joining up at Mug Club here tonight, where can they go to learn more, sign up and donate to you guys specifically?

01:39:21.000 So they can visit CarryTheLoad.org.

01:39:24.000 You can look at the Memorial May section.

01:39:27.000 Again, we have five national relays that are traveling through right now.

01:39:30.000 They all are going to come together in Dallas for the Dallas Memorial March over Memorial Day weekend at Revachon Park.

01:39:38.000 And there's about 20,000 people.

01:39:39.000 The city of Dallas shows up.

01:39:41.000 Wow.

01:39:42.000 The city of Dallas.

01:39:43.000 The problem is the city of Dallas, there's not really a good downtown, is there?

01:39:48.000 There's a beautiful, there's a ton of beautiful parks.

01:39:48.000 Lots of candy.

01:39:50.000 They have the Katie Ice Trail that, again, it's a seven mile back and forth, and people march for the full 24 hours.

01:39:59.000 Yes, but you know, all I'm saying is there's not a lot to do downtown, but you know, there are many things in the surrounding areas, so it's, all right, it is carrytheload.org, and we appreciate the work that you're doing, and I know that we will be in touch.

01:40:09.000 I know that I don't, Well, I can't say her name because she has to be anonymous, but our producer has been in touch.

01:40:14.000 Hallie Johnson, thank you very much for taking the time and all the great work that you do.

01:40:17.000 We're happy to highlight it, and I hope that people go and show you guys some love.

01:40:21.000 Thank you so much.

01:40:22.000 Have a great evening.

01:40:23.000 Thank you so much.

01:40:24.000 This has been Hallie Johnson.

01:40:29.000 Did I say Johnson again?

01:40:32.000 I don't think so.

01:40:33.000 I was watching. 1.00

01:40:35.000 Son of a bitch. 1.00

01:40:37.000 Can you admonish me? 1.00

01:40:38.000 Sure.

01:40:38.000 She deserves better.

01:40:39.000 She's a veteran for crying out loud.

01:40:41.000 She's a veteran.

01:40:42.000 Also, I can miss one letter in her name.

01:40:44.000 There you go.

01:40:45.000 Admonish.

01:40:50.000 It's a meaner admonish now.

01:40:52.000 The name of that site's a little dicey.

01:40:55.000 I get it.

01:40:56.000 But it's a .org, so you know it's official.

01:40:57.000 I was on a porn site.

01:40:59.000 I can imagine.

01:40:59.000 I'll always swallow the load.

01:41:01.000 Yeah, you belong in the comments, Nick.

01:41:04.000 He said, you belong in the comments.

01:41:08.000 Yeah, they're making the same joke.

01:41:11.000 Oh, yeah.

01:41:12.000 Don't get me started on the comments, the chat regarding Brianna Morello the other day.

01:41:12.000 I know.

01:41:17.000 You guys are naughty.

01:41:17.000 Be gentlemen.

01:41:19.000 Be gentlemen.

01:41:21.000 Hey, look, I get it.

01:41:22.000 You have needs.

01:41:23.000 So, before, aren't you just curious right now?

01:41:26.000 It's just burning within me what's happening with Gerald.

01:41:28.000 Oh, my God.

01:41:29.000 I was hoping he had gunfire.

01:41:32.000 If that were the case, he'd be shooting his own phone.

01:41:34.000 The guy's not here. 0.95

01:41:35.000 He'd be shooting himself. 0.76

01:41:36.000 Then we could all celebrate.

01:41:39.000 Oh, he knows I love him, Father Mulcahy.

01:41:45.000 I wanna know!

01:41:46.000 This is so bad!

01:41:46.000 I know.

01:41:48.000 What is that guy going, I'm gonna sue you?

01:41:50.000 That type?

01:41:50.000 He could.

01:41:51.000 I don't know.

01:41:52.000 Or he could just be saying, hey, you guys aren't gonna air this, are you?

01:41:55.000 We're actually already live right now.

01:41:57.000 I think he's binary. 1.00

01:41:57.000 Shit. 1.00

01:41:59.000 Or non-binary. 1.00

01:42:02.000 I think he's a computer.

01:42:03.000 Binary is normal.

01:42:04.000 I think he's a zero.

01:42:06.000 And a one.

01:42:08.000 But I think, because if he was, like, he complimented how much he liked her, right?

01:42:12.000 Yeah.

01:42:13.000 That's not the work of a Again, it's either bi or hetero.

01:42:16.000 A part of me feels bad because he really likes her.

01:42:19.000 The reporter.

01:42:20.000 Yeah, I feel, but no, I don't. 1.00

01:42:21.000 Fuck him. 1.00

01:42:24.000 He's breaking, he's helping ruin the military. 1.00

01:42:26.000 No, you're absolutely right. 0.86

01:42:27.000 And he's putting people at risk, and I hope she threw soup in his face. 0.87

01:42:31.000 Cream of mushroom.

01:42:35.000 He's the fall guy here, but he would be the first guy to throw other people under the bus.

01:42:38.000 You know it when you see it.

01:42:39.000 Of course!

01:42:40.000 I can smell it on him.

01:42:41.000 Yeah, it's one of those things.

01:42:43.000 And by the way, they know it too.

01:42:46.000 The people who are appointing folks in positions of power in this government, they know. 0.60

01:42:49.000 Well, it's two things that are useless.

01:42:51.000 It's an advisor and DEI.

01:42:53.000 Yes, exactly.

01:42:54.000 I don't know what that means.

01:42:56.000 I know, what is an advisory role?

01:42:56.000 Advisor.

01:42:58.000 Yeah.

01:42:59.000 Hey, I advise, uh, we get this girl another bottle of Chianti. 1.00

01:43:03.000 Yes, exactly.

01:43:03.000 We did the video of McKinsey.

01:43:05.000 Consultants, advisors, like, we know what they do.

01:43:07.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:43:08.000 The biggest consulting group.

01:43:10.000 They have their hands in everything.

01:43:11.000 And, you know, it sucks because these organizations, they become huge, or they become too big to fail as it relates to private companies.

01:43:17.000 Or, of course, effectively, all wings of the federal government are too big to fail. 0.58

01:43:22.000 There's no accountability.

01:43:23.000 It's just your tax dollars.

01:43:24.000 It's a never-ending supply.

01:43:25.000 That's where we are.

01:43:26.000 And then you have these other people, these other organizations.

01:43:29.000 Not only you and your support with Mug Club, and we appreciate it, but these other organizations who do a lot, and it goes completely unnoticed.

01:43:36.000 So here's another one while we're doing Military Appreciation Month.

01:43:38.000 The promo code is USA20.

01:43:40.000 That's actually going on all, of course, all night.

01:43:43.000 And then, of course, the promo code MILITARY gets you $10 off for the entire month, Military Appreciation.

01:43:48.000 So 10% will be going to charities all month, no matter whether you enter in the promo code or not.

01:43:52.000 So we appreciate it.

01:43:53.000 But this one is called Stronghold.

01:43:54.000 I believe we have it.

01:43:56.000 Stronghold Rescue and Relief, and they actually specialize in providing medical care aid in

01:44:02.000 crisis zones.

01:44:03.000 So they actually hire former special forces veterans.

01:44:06.000 And a lot of people don't necessarily know this, you know, biker gangs were started largely

01:44:13.000 by ex-military, by veterans who came back because it's really hard to be redlining that

01:44:17.000 edge and to be in gear five and tell someone, okay, now just shut it off.

01:44:20.000 That's one thing we do pretty poorly here in this country, is we say, yeah, go out there, be the guy we need to kill and deal with the nightmare that none of us will sign up for. 0.99

01:44:29.000 Now come back and just get behind your white picket fence and shut up. 1.00

01:44:33.000 We put them on a shelf like a broken toy. 0.99

01:44:35.000 We treat them like broken toys.

01:44:36.000 Put on Three's Company and relax.

01:44:37.000 Yes, exactly.

01:44:39.000 Although that being said, Suzanne Somers, she does quell any discomfort back in that day.

01:44:43.000 That was three's company, right?

01:44:44.000 She did, God bless her. 0.96

01:44:45.000 Yeah.

01:44:46.000 Oh, that's right, she passed.

01:44:47.000 Late, the late great.

01:44:47.000 She did, I'll tell ya.

01:44:49.000 I don't think anyone has a bad word to say about that lady. 1.00

01:44:51.000 Absolutely not.

01:44:51.000 I went to her awake.

01:44:55.000 That was an unofficial invitee.

01:44:58.000 So they hire... A sucker punch John wrote his kid.

01:45:01.000 Did she?

01:45:01.000 No, I did.

01:45:03.000 Okay.

01:45:03.000 I'm sorry.

01:45:03.000 Oh, you did.

01:45:04.000 I was like the first bad word about Susan Summers.

01:45:05.000 I was very confused.

01:45:06.000 But they hire these special forces or former special forces veterans to actually work with them to help provide humanitarian relief, emergency medicine.

01:45:14.000 You know, they do some mentorship for people out there on the front lines and it gives Sometimes we think that these people are indestructible.

01:45:21.000 We like to think of them as Superman, right?

01:45:23.000 Oh, you were a Ranger.

01:45:24.000 Oh, you were a Navy SEAL.

01:45:25.000 Well, then life should be... this is a cakewalk.

01:45:29.000 You went through Hell Week.

01:45:30.000 This is going to be easy by comparison.

01:45:32.000 It's actually harder because they've been transformed into a different person.

01:45:37.000 And that different person I don't say this with any disrespect.

01:45:42.000 It requires this person to be a little uncivilized.

01:45:45.000 It requires this person to be a little harder than you are.

01:45:50.000 To have a little bit of a tougher skin.

01:45:51.000 Then to say, you know what, now do away with all that because we don't need you at this point in time.

01:45:56.000 It never ends up well.

01:45:58.000 So there is a lot to be said for actually providing work to do and a purpose for these people.

01:46:02.000 Their CEO, Ephraim Matos, is actually a former Navy SEAL who's currently overseas in Burma, and actually he sent us, I believe, a video message, which we'll roll now.

01:46:13.000 Hey, what's going on Mug Club?

01:46:14.000 My name is Ephraim Matos, and I am the founder and CEO of Stronghold Rescue & Relief.

01:46:18.000 So when I was 17, I decided to join the Navy, and I tried out for the SEAL teams, and somehow I made it, so that was cool.

01:46:27.000 And I went on to become a sniper, and I was able to deploy to Afghanistan and to Southeast Asia.

01:46:33.000 During my first deployment in Afghanistan, I was in a particularly bad firefight where the Taliban sent two little girls running straight at me.

01:46:43.000 And it was very obvious that their intention was for me to shoot these little girls.

01:46:47.000 We believed that they were wearing suicide backpacks.

01:46:50.000 And that experience really opened up my eyes to the reality that there are civilians caught in the crossfires of conflicts all over the world.

01:46:59.000 And it's the reason why I started Stronghold Rescue and Relief.

01:47:03.000 So at Stronghold Rescue and Relief we're a non-profit organization and we're a group of veterans and we go into conflict zones to protect and care for families.

01:47:13.000 So right now the main country that we're working in is Burma where we run ambulances and we provide frontline medical care and we also provide early warning detection systems which are made up of radios and sensors and things like that which can help the ethnic minority people here who are under constant attack by the Burma Army.

01:47:30.000 It helps them to get away from those attacks and to get to safety.

01:47:34.000 So as of now, we have four full-time ambulances that are transporting patients nearly on a daily basis.

01:47:40.000 And also we have an ambulance boat which moves patients across a large man-made lake that's here in the center of Burma.

01:47:47.000 And this lake was actually made by the Burma Army when they set up a hydroelectric dam.

01:47:52.000 And the lake that resulted from that hydroelectric dam being built, it destroyed about 100 square miles of ethnic minority territory.

01:48:02.000 And thousands of people lost their homes and had to run away.

01:48:05.000 And that's just one example of how the Burma Army treats ethnic minority groups in Burma.

01:48:10.000 But that's just where things get started.

01:48:12.000 The Burma Army brings in fighter jets and they bomb villages.

01:48:15.000 They set up large mortar tubes and they fire them into villages. 0.95

01:48:19.000 And they kill and maim and rape and massacre villagers when they can find them. 0.96

01:48:25.000 And cause all kinds of evil and mayhem. 0.54

01:48:28.000 And so what we're dealing with here in Burma is a genocide.

01:48:31.000 It's an attempted genocide happening, but the ethnic minority groups are fighting back and they're not going to lay down and roll over.

01:48:39.000 It's an honor to be able to work with them, to help them protect their people, and also to provide them the support they need for medical evacuations, medical training, frontline medical care.

01:48:49.000 And so our team of guys at Stronghold, all of us are combat veterans and we're happy to be able to put our skills to use after the military to be able to serve these people and approach this kind of situation with a cool head and with the level of training that we're very grateful to have from our time in the U.S.

01:49:07.000 military.

01:49:08.000 So Stronghold, the way that we operate, is as a non-profit organization, which means that we completely subsist off of the donations of people from around the world.

01:49:17.000 It's a lot like Netflix or Mug Club.

01:49:20.000 What we do is we have thousands of people around the world who each pitch in a little bit every single month, and without those donations, none of the ambulances that we have running would be running, and all the lives we have saved up to this point would have been lost.

01:49:32.000 The motto of Stronghold Rescue and Relief is, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

01:49:37.000 That is the quote that we have on the back of our Stronghold t-shirts.

01:49:41.000 And anybody who signs up to give just 50 cents a day or more to Stronghold Rescue and Relief, they get one of those official t-shirts in the mail.

01:49:48.000 And it's the same t-shirt that our crews wear here in Burma as they're working to save people's lives.

01:49:54.000 So if you want to learn more about what we do, you can check us out at strongholdrescue.org.

01:49:59.000 I also want to say it was an honor to serve in the U.S.

01:50:01.000 Navy as a SEAL.

01:50:03.000 All the things that I learned there in the military are what enabled me to help these people out here today.

01:50:07.000 And I also want to thank Crowder and everyone at Mug Club for having me on.

01:50:11.000 All right.

01:50:18.000 So you are back.

01:50:19.000 You saw me run out, and it was not because I needed more wine.

01:50:22.000 No.

01:50:23.000 Though I always need more wine.

01:50:23.000 Heepy?

01:50:24.000 That was me!

01:50:25.000 Yes, I did use the restroom as well, Nick.

01:50:26.000 Oh, well that's why you were gone for so long.

01:50:28.000 Thanks for the help!

01:50:29.000 I know, your hair's all wet.

01:50:31.000 Thanks for the- So I was talking to Thomas Riggs.

01:50:39.000 I was talking to the gentleman that basically was the subject of our entire show tonight, Undercover Journalism.

01:50:46.000 He was essentially, I think he found out right before the phone call that this was airing or that this information was getting out there.

01:50:53.000 It's getting out pretty widely on X right now.

01:50:55.000 So make sure you guys continue to share that and just gave him an opportunity to try to answer some of these questions.

01:51:01.000 What he meant when he said that, you know, D, I was going to change names and a number of different things.

01:51:06.000 I don't want to be too specific because we're hoping to talk to him again, but we will have those recordings to be able to share.

01:51:14.000 He asked to be able to talk to us a little bit later.

01:51:16.000 We talked for a few minutes.

01:51:17.000 I can't remember exactly how long.

01:51:19.000 He did not deny anything that I brought to him about Republican being better in office or, you know, saying that it's pretty disconcerting to have somebody say that, you know, we could be speaking Chinese from this

01:51:29.000 war, potentially with China invading Taiwan and the war that

01:51:32.000 could ensue from that. And also, you know, he did make a comment that he doesn't feel like he's

01:51:36.000 anybody special with regard to that.

01:51:38.000 And I said, yes, but you're advising people that advise the president of the United States to which he did not deny

01:51:43.000 that.

01:51:44.000 No. Right. So there was some kind of Anger?

01:51:48.000 Confirmation and a lack of denial, if you can say that, to some degree.

01:51:51.000 Well, he told you this is public knowledge.

01:51:53.000 So that's the issue.

01:51:54.000 We said, well, it's public knowledge that China is our greatest foe. 1.00

01:51:56.000 That's the implication.

01:51:57.000 Not according to this administration.

01:51:59.000 Not according to the man in the Oval Office.

01:52:01.000 Not according to, by the way, not according to our generals at this point.

01:52:05.000 Not according to all of COVID.

01:52:07.000 We were told, no, no, no, let's not vilify them.

01:52:08.000 So for him to say that that's public knowledge, That's just not true.

01:52:12.000 No, I know.

01:52:13.000 And he said that he had to go and that obviously this was a lot to be taking in and he wanted to

01:52:18.000 be able to kind of process through a little bit and give me a call back.

01:52:20.000 And look, I hope that that phone call happens.

01:52:22.000 I'm kind of going along with you.

01:52:24.000 I think you're probably right that he is not going to make that call.

01:52:26.000 But look, Thomas, if you're listening to this, if anybody can get this to him, if anybody

01:52:31.000 somewhere, some way, somehow can let him.

01:52:33.000 Look, I get that this is a problem.

01:52:35.000 I don't know if you're a bad guy.

01:52:37.000 I know that the policies that you're pushing in the face of understanding what it does to our military is a bad thing, right?

01:52:43.000 But this is the best possible path forward.

01:52:45.000 If you truly believe what you said on that date, The best possible path forward is that this comes to light, it hurts for a little bit, but our military changes course and our country is safe.

01:52:56.000 That is the best possible outcome.

01:52:58.000 Breathe. 1.00

01:52:59.000 Don't do anything stupid. 1.00

01:53:00.000 Call us back and talk us through some of this stuff. 0.99

01:53:02.000 Explain what you were saying in those meetings, on those dates.

01:53:08.000 So that we can make positive change.

01:53:09.000 If that's truly what you believe in, in serving this country, and you signed up to serve, so I got to think there's something in there.

01:53:15.000 There's something deep down inside that said, I want to do this.

01:53:18.000 And I want to spend a career doing this.

01:53:20.000 I don't know where it went wrong and started focusing on things that you shouldn't focus on.

01:53:23.000 I don't know if it was because it led to more promotions and it was the thing that was going to get you the time to be able to get to the next rank.

01:53:30.000 But somewhere along the way, it became more important to satisfy the desires of the brass than it did to make sure we had a military that could actually effectively wage a war.

01:53:39.000 I'll tell you where... No, go ahead.

01:53:41.000 He's at the right age to have been brainwashed with this whole diversity thing.

01:53:44.000 Yeah.

01:53:45.000 I mean, he might even actually believe it.

01:53:47.000 The root cause is an evil ideology.

01:53:49.000 Let me explain when I say that.

01:53:50.000 That's right.

01:53:50.000 It gets in here.

01:53:51.000 It's a worm.

01:53:52.000 It's an infection.

01:53:53.000 Yeah.

01:53:53.000 It's a cancer.

01:53:54.000 Yes.

01:53:54.000 And it's a cancer that needs to be carved out figuratively Needs to be carved out, not only from our military, but from all of our institutions.

01:54:01.000 Look, let me tell you something.

01:54:03.000 If DEI and the gender bender ideology, and it is, by the way. 0.99

01:54:10.000 I know we've done this where there are only two genders changing minds. 1.00

01:54:12.000 That was the first time someone asked, what is a woman? 0.88

01:54:12.000 You can go back to there. 0.88

01:54:15.000 What is a man?

01:54:16.000 You can go back to 2015, 2016, 2017.

01:54:16.000 People couldn't answer that question.

01:54:16.000 Right?

01:54:17.000 They don't even know!

01:54:21.000 Where this stems from, and I'm talking about all of it, but this is how radical we are right now.

01:54:26.000 It comes from Simone de Beauvoir, then it goes to Judith Butler, John Money, this is the basis!

01:54:30.000 For everything that you know today that you are taught in school as it relates to the idea that gender is separate from sex.

01:54:36.000 John Money, I was taught this in college.

01:54:39.000 I know this is a little bit of an aside, but just give me a moment here.

01:54:41.000 John Money did the twin study.

01:54:42.000 Had two twins.

01:54:44.000 Sorry, he had a set of twins.

01:54:45.000 A pair, if you will.

01:54:47.000 And he raised one as a boy and one as a girl.

01:54:50.000 To see if gender was a social construct.

01:54:51.000 Now this was touted as a success.

01:54:54.000 This was used.

01:54:56.000 Uh, in academia.

01:54:57.000 For decades.

01:54:57.000 Right?

01:54:58.000 This is proof.

01:54:59.000 Gender is really just societal conditioning. 1.00

01:55:00.000 Now what they didn't tell you is that John Money sexually abused these twins.

01:55:04.000 He would have them, uh, he would forcefully put them in sexually compromising positions to make one the dominant twin, one the submissive twin. 0.96

01:55:13.000 Uh, what they don't tell you is both those twins are dead.

01:55:17.000 Because suicide is a real problem.

01:55:19.000 So if you want to consider that a successful experiment, which was the basis for modern gender ideology, goes Simone de Beauvoir, Judith Butler, John Money.

01:55:27.000 Without them, there can be no modern gender ideology. 1.00

01:55:32.000 It cannot exist.

01:55:33.000 Look into those people, look into the basis for this, and understand that it's not rooted in reality whatsoever, and understand that by the time it makes it to the military, by the time the military says, we will pay, and by we we mean you, the taxpayer, we'll pay for sex change operations, because that is vital To our fighting forces.

01:55:51.000 By the time it makes it to the military, which is supposed to be a petri dish, completely devoid of politics, it has already been a contagion to every other institution.

01:56:01.000 You think it gets to the military before it gets to education?

01:56:05.000 You think it gets to the military before it gets to the Department of Energy?

01:56:11.000 To social services?

01:56:13.000 No, it gets to the military last.

01:56:15.000 If it's there, it has been everywhere else.

01:56:18.000 You know it.

01:56:18.000 You've experienced it.

01:56:19.000 And I have a tendency to feel bad for people who get caught with their pants down because everyone can make a mistake.

01:56:27.000 When I say an evil ideology, you have state legislatures right now that not only will guarantee that your child Your child can transition without your permission. 0.61

01:56:27.000 But let me ask you this. 0.61

01:56:39.000 The state will help hide that child from you if you are trying to reach them.

01:56:46.000 That exists right now.

01:56:49.000 You want to tell me that chemically castrating and physically allowing the neutering of children is not evil? 0.86

01:56:57.000 You cannot separate that from stretchy maternity suits, from guaranteeing that African-American lesbians are on the front lines regardless of their ability to do a sit-up. 1.00

01:57:08.000 You cannot separate that from sex change operations in the military. 0.99

01:57:11.000 It is an evil!

01:57:13.000 Evil ideology, and it is not being pushed from the ground up, it is being pushed from the top down, period.

01:57:21.000 Understand, if you look back at this moment in history, I mean, we talk about the Holocaust, we talk about whatever Mao did, we talk about the experiments that were conducted when you look at what the Chinese did with the Japanese during World War II.

01:57:36.000 People are certainly going to look back at this time in history and say, my god, We allowed them to do that to children?

01:57:43.000 We took children away from their parents?

01:57:46.000 If the parents tried to protect them?

01:57:49.000 I know some people are saying, wait, are you comparing transitioning children today?

01:57:54.000 Are you comparing that to the Holocaust? 0.55

01:57:55.000 Are you comparing that to Stalin's Russia?

01:57:58.000 Yes.

01:57:59.000 Yes.

01:58:01.000 As far as the level of evil?

01:58:02.000 Absolutely.

01:58:03.000 Absolutely.

01:58:04.000 When you see it in the military, understand that it arrived there last.

01:58:09.000 And it's been in your schools for a long time.

01:58:11.000 And I don't just mean college.

01:58:13.000 I mean your kindergartens.

01:58:15.000 I mean your grade schools.

01:58:16.000 Let alone your high schools.

01:58:17.000 That's what we're dealing with.

01:58:18.000 And by the way, that's what we fight against.

01:58:20.000 And that's why for me, I always feel bad when I say, look, make sure you are correct when I go to this undercover crew.

01:58:27.000 Because I am not going to be in the business of ruining someone's life who's a patsy for the higher ups.

01:58:31.000 Right.

01:58:32.000 And they do their due diligence.

01:58:32.000 Exactly.

01:58:34.000 And I tell you what, the other institutions we're talking about here today, schools, other departments, media, guess what?

01:58:41.000 Muckle Undercover is there too.

01:58:42.000 Right now.

01:58:44.000 Right now.

01:58:44.000 Every single one.

01:58:46.000 When Anthony Weiner, to give you an example, When Anthony Weiner lied about him sexting random people back then on Twitter, he didn't just lie and say it didn't happen, he had a prepared lie to blame it on that man, Andrew Breitbart.

01:59:01.000 To say, Andrew Breitbart, I remember Alec Baldwin posted, I don't believe this Anthony Weiner scandal has a whiff do Breitbart. 0.94

01:59:09.000 No, affected prick.

01:59:11.000 They were ready to set this man up, who simply stumbled across the truth.

01:59:15.000 And by the way, he had fallen from grace because they'd done this to him time and time again.

01:59:18.000 He was too important, so they had to do away with him.

01:59:21.000 It wasn't that he was going to lie.

01:59:23.000 He was ready to get up at that podium, Anthony Weiner, and say, I have been subject to a smear campaign by someone named Andrew Breitbart, and this didn't happen, and my family wants privacy, and the only reason it didn't happen was because Andrew Breitbart had the balls to get up at that podium, and I don't know if this footage exists, But I know that it happened.

01:59:45.000 I don't remember if it was the Omni Hotel in DC, if it was the Marriott, I don't remember.

01:59:50.000 But Anthony Weiner staged his press conference, and Andrew said, this is not going to happen again.

01:59:55.000 Well, it happened to him.

01:59:56.000 They tarnished his reputation with stories that he had that were legitimate.

01:59:59.000 And someone yelled out in the halls, Breitbart's in the building!

02:00:03.000 Stop him! 0.87

02:00:05.000 And he went up on that podium, and he told the truth.

02:00:09.000 And of course, we know how that story ends.

02:00:12.000 But, I will tell you this.

02:00:14.000 You saw Andrew Breitbart.

02:00:15.000 I mean, he's a personality who's bigger than life.

02:00:15.000 That guy can't hide.

02:00:18.000 But in all these other sectors, whether it's media, whether it's education, whether it's the military, if you guys aren't yelling it, you should be whispering that Mud Club Undercover is coming.

02:00:28.000 Because I'm telling you this, they're there.

02:00:32.000 They're there right now.

02:00:34.000 So I'd much rather, hey, an ounce of prevention is worth 10,000 tons of cure.

02:00:39.000 I'd much rather you be on your best behavior at this point, like seeing the police officer, so you slow down rather than them having to write you a ticket.

02:00:46.000 But they're going to keep writing tickets.

02:00:49.000 And then we're going to make calls to representatives.

02:00:51.000 We're going to make calls to people who can make a difference.

02:00:53.000 And I hope that there are other people who have spines and can do something because we can provide you with the information.

02:00:59.000 We have some Abilities and a lack of limitations that representatives in our government don't.

02:01:07.000 And I hope that they start working hand-in-hand with these people.

02:01:10.000 And I thank you for your support.

02:01:11.000 LatterEarthCreditor.com slash MugClub.

02:01:13.000 And of course right now it's USA 20 as the promo code.

02:01:16.000 And $20 off and 10% to military charities.

02:01:18.000 But you know what?

02:01:20.000 What they do is pretty damn important.

02:01:22.000 And I guarantee you that a lot of people working with these military charities who care about the legacy, they would say, yep, it may be a different fight, but the amount of work that they put in is incredible.

02:01:31.000 And I can't take credit for it.

02:01:32.000 I can only take credit for being a conduit you signed up, you support, and we make sure that they have the air support that they need.

02:01:39.000 I'm not able to go undercover.

02:01:41.000 There aren't enough prosthetics in the world.

02:01:42.000 Well, they wouldn't go on dates with you.

02:01:44.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.

02:01:45.000 So, by the way, this gentleman, look, I want to echo what you said.

02:01:50.000 You're at a crossroads, Thomas.

02:01:52.000 You have an opportunity to be the guy that stands up and does the right thing to make sure that the military changes course.

02:01:58.000 And maybe you're somebody else out there right now who sees this story, and you're not a fan of ours, you don't watch our show, but you're seeing this because it touches a little close to home.

02:02:05.000 Maybe it's time for you to stand up and do the right thing.

02:02:07.000 And I'm not just saying whistleblowing, that can be part of it, but it's pushing back on these things that are bad for the military.

02:02:13.000 Duct tape?

02:02:14.000 Military poor training for these people?

02:02:16.000 You know the cost of putting these policies first.

02:02:20.000 Be the guy that stands up and does the right thing.

02:02:21.000 This is a crossroads for a lot of people right now.

02:02:23.000 Be the guy who comes out and says, you know what?

02:02:25.000 This is the wrong course for our military.

02:02:27.000 I'm going to start pushing back.

02:02:28.000 I'm going to whistle blow where I have to when things are being done that shouldn't be done behind the scenes and people are being lied to right now.

02:02:34.000 Do that.

02:02:35.000 That's the crossroads that you're at.

02:02:37.000 Will it cost you something?

02:02:38.000 Absolutely.

02:02:39.000 It always does to do the right thing.

02:02:41.000 But it is the right thing.

02:02:42.000 And we need more of you to do it because we're not looking to ruin any lives.

02:02:45.000 And I understand you, Steven.

02:02:46.000 Maybe you can't go on these dates.

02:02:48.000 But he did say that he really did like the journalist.

02:02:52.000 Which we kind of knew because, you know, I guess that's the whole purpose.

02:02:55.000 She is splendid.

02:02:56.000 She's... I just hope... I don't want Nick to say anything.

02:02:59.000 I just hope for his sake.

02:03:01.000 What? 0.94

02:03:02.000 Oh Nick, you look like dirty Harry just now. 0.96

02:03:11.000 I looked back at my dad when he was irritated. 0.89

02:03:13.000 What?

02:03:14.000 A D?

02:03:17.000 I just hope for Mr. Riggs' sake that the...

02:03:21.000 The Navy doesn't treat it like Tony Soprano would or Boeing.

02:03:27.000 I'm just saying!

02:03:28.000 You're talking whistleblower.

02:03:30.000 You make a great point, Gerald.

02:03:32.000 He's at a crossroads and has to choose good or evil.

02:03:36.000 Yep. 0.98

02:03:37.000 And he knows, he knows based on the statements, unless he's just full of crap, which I don't think he is because he's basically confirming what we already thought. 0.90

02:03:43.000 Yeah. 0.96

02:03:44.000 That's right.

02:03:44.000 He's got an opportunity right now to go, you know what?

02:03:44.000 Right?

02:03:48.000 This is going to cost me something, but that's what I signed up for.

02:03:50.000 Could have cost you your life serving this country, but you've signed on the dotted line and said, I'm willing to do that.

02:03:55.000 It might be a blessing in disguise.

02:03:55.000 Okay.

02:03:57.000 Yeah, exactly.

02:03:57.000 This may be the opportunity for you to go, you know what?

02:03:59.000 My country is more important than a party or a policy.

02:04:02.000 Now how do I get her number?

02:04:06.000 It will not lead to another date.

02:04:08.000 He's going to call you and say, hey, I'm not ready to talk right now, but could you put a good word in for me?

02:04:13.000 Okay, well... And you'll say, no, click!

02:04:18.000 Look, we're all equal, apparently, so I can't say you're better than anybody else.

02:04:21.000 She's not.

02:04:22.000 It's an E in D-E-I.

02:04:23.000 She's taken!

02:04:24.000 Just say to him, depending on what you do, how you handle this, you gotta use it.

02:04:30.000 Maybe a peck on the cheek.

02:04:32.000 If you play your cards right, a peck on the cheek.

02:04:34.000 Not a bribe, just a letter, you can go bowling.

02:04:40.000 We have to be there.

02:04:42.000 Can I keep the shoes?

02:04:43.000 No!

02:04:45.000 You're pushing your luck, little friend.

02:04:46.000 Alright, you know what, before we thank you very much for taking the time here tonight, but actually before we leave, because it's been a little bit more serious tonight, a lot of people don't know this, that of course this has been a long time coming with the military, where they've actually been trying to bring people into the fold with more DEI incentives, and it really hasn't been working.

02:05:04.000 No.

02:05:04.000 So this is just the newest iteration, which actually brings us to, you may not notice they've had many slogans, and some of them have actually not even made the cut, they've been rejected.

02:05:11.000 So this actually brings us to this week's 7 Plus 1!

02:05:14.000 You forgot Sivan in the chamber!

02:05:22.000 And hopefully the soothing sounds of this 7 plus 1 tonight can lull you to sleep.

02:05:27.000 Either that or thoughts of the Civil War.

02:05:30.000 Yes!

02:05:31.000 Tomorrow night on Lotto the Crowd of Baby Cancer.

02:05:34.000 Yes!

02:05:36.000 Well, it's been serious.

02:05:37.000 I thought we'd be on a roll.

02:05:38.000 I'll just whisk you away to the land of sleep where children have progeria. 0.95

02:05:46.000 Always progeria. 0.59

02:05:49.000 And the soothing sounds of delta waves.

02:05:52.000 That's the thing.

02:05:53.000 Delta waves apparently help you sleep.

02:05:54.000 But anyways, that's irrelevant to the 7 plus 1 rejected DEI military slogans.

02:05:59.000 Way to bring it back.

02:06:00.000 Number 7.

02:06:01.000 Be all you can G in the army.

02:06:04.000 And I pronounced that the Asian way.

02:06:08.000 7 plus 1 rejected DEI military slogans.

02:06:10.000 Nick.

02:06:10.000 Number 6.

02:06:11.000 Navy. 0.61

02:06:12.000 White suits look good on black people. 1.00

02:06:14.000 Me too.

02:06:16.000 That is an actual fact.

02:06:17.000 Good contrast.

02:06:17.000 It is a fact.

02:06:18.000 I have a white suit.

02:06:19.000 It is absolutely true.

02:06:21.000 Seven plus one rejected DEI military slogans.

02:06:24.000 Number five.

02:06:26.000 The Marines.

02:06:27.000 The proud.

02:06:27.000 The few.

02:06:28.000 The sexually confused.

02:06:29.000 I don't know how you recruit people with that.

02:06:32.000 Oh, there's the picture.

02:06:33.000 Oh my god!

02:06:37.000 Holy moly!

02:06:38.000 Can you bring that back up?

02:06:39.000 Is it possible?

02:06:40.000 Did they get shot in the right cheek?

02:06:44.000 Jeez, what in the world? 0.73

02:06:46.000 What the hell is that?

02:06:47.000 It's seal! 0.75

02:06:48.000 It is!

02:06:49.000 Holy moly, somebody put a cigar out on his face!

02:06:53.000 Baby!

02:06:54.000 All right, let's go to... By the way, who was he with?

02:06:58.000 Was it... What was the name?

02:06:59.000 Who was the celebrity?

02:07:00.000 Was it Chris... Was it... Who was he with?

02:07:02.000 No, uh, Heidi Klum.

02:07:03.000 Heidi Klum.

02:07:04.000 German.

02:07:04.000 You know her.

02:07:05.000 Good for him.

02:07:06.000 Whoa! 0.71

02:07:07.000 What?

02:07:09.000 7 plus 1.

02:07:10.000 Rejected DEI slogans.

02:07:12.000 Number 4.

02:07:13.000 Gerald... Captain Morgan.

02:07:15.000 Unleash your Judy Garland within.

02:07:17.000 Oh, well that's actually...

02:07:19.000 Relatively.

02:07:19.000 That's why you gave it to Gerald.

02:07:21.000 I appreciate that.

02:07:23.000 Some of my dignity home tonight.

02:07:23.000 Number three.

02:07:24.000 Coast Guard. 0.96

02:07:25.000 We can teach black people to swim.

02:07:27.000 That just seems like they're not respecting 13% of the country. 0.82

02:07:33.000 Can we fact check that?

02:07:34.000 Yeah, I don't know if that's... These are rejected, so it would be very hard to fact check.

02:07:38.000 You're right on.

02:07:38.000 I already googled it.

02:07:39.000 7 plus 1 rejected DEI military slogans.

02:07:43.000 Number two, Nick.

02:07:44.000 An army of one.

02:07:45.000 117 different genders.

02:07:49.000 That's just lazy. 0.77

02:07:51.000 They just added to it.

02:07:53.000 And the number one rejected DEI military slogan.

02:07:55.000 You know what, Captain Morgan, I'll let you take number one.

02:07:57.000 Army, our strength lies in diversity, not unity, loyalty, character, weapons, technology, expert training, or a fighting spirit.

02:08:04.000 Hey, it's female seal! 1.00

02:08:09.000 It's the same seal!

02:08:10.000 Look at it, it's the right shape!

02:08:11.000 She actually looks pretty hot there. 1.00

02:08:13.000 What is that, like Korea on the face? 0.99

02:08:16.000 What's going on there?

02:08:17.000 It's like Rihanna had a baby with seal.

02:08:18.000 That's a tattoo of herpes.

02:08:20.000 I hate how much work went into this, because that's very well done.

02:08:23.000 Who did that? 1.00

02:08:25.000 I'd get that as a tattoo on my ass. 1.00

02:08:27.000 That's a tough poster. 0.99

02:08:29.000 And the plus one, of course, because you always forget one in the chamber, rejected DEI military slogans.

02:08:34.000 One of the branches is actually changing their name to Safe Space Force.

02:08:37.000 Oh, another photo shot.

02:08:41.000 That's the highlight of my evening.

02:08:42.000 That's been this week's 7 Plus 1!

02:08:44.000 You forgot Stefan in the chamber!

02:08:51.000 All right, we're about to go to Mug Club and talk with all of the new members, because we're going to be taking some chat, which, you know, we don't do on YouTube or anywhere else, because those super chats are just awful.

02:09:00.000 Our chat's slightly better, but I just realized, I guess CrowderShop.com also has a promo.

02:09:04.000 Yes, that's right!

02:09:05.000 What is it?

02:09:06.000 First 300 people to get there get a free Louder with Crowder flag.

02:09:09.000 I like the Clowder flag.

02:09:11.000 This is at the bottom of the second lesson.

02:09:14.000 So CrowderShop.com, and look, if we run out of Louder with Crowder flags, Yeah. 0.67

02:09:21.000 You'll get a different $30 value ad flag and it will not be a gay pride flag or BLM flag because they only have 300 of the latter with crowded flags.

02:09:29.000 That's a $30 value.

02:09:29.000 Yeah.

02:09:31.000 You could put Seal slash Rihanna on there.

02:09:33.000 On the flag?

02:09:34.000 Yeah!

02:09:34.000 I'm just saying a $30 value.

02:09:36.000 I don't think we can, CrowderShop.com.

02:09:36.000 We could put anything on a flag.

02:09:37.000 You can put anything on flags these days.

02:09:39.000 Can we get more of these?

02:09:40.000 I want some more of these in the color Trump 2020.

02:09:43.000 I want to piss people off around me.

02:09:44.000 In different colors?

02:09:45.000 No, I mean myself.

02:09:46.000 Yeah, yourself.

02:09:47.000 This is a live honor request.

02:09:49.000 I'm just saying I would like more.

02:09:49.000 No, I understand that.

02:09:51.000 I felt like now was the time for me to make my request.

02:09:53.000 I'm striking while the iron's hot.

02:09:55.000 Alright.

02:09:56.000 I wore your t-shirt.

02:09:57.000 I'm pro-gun.

02:09:58.000 Changed my mind?

02:09:59.000 Yeah.

02:10:00.000 What happened?

02:10:00.000 I got an argument.

02:10:01.000 I shot the guy. 0.98

02:10:04.000 He should have seen it coming with the shirt. 0.91

02:10:06.000 I mean, you told him.

02:10:09.000 I think I won that one.

02:10:12.000 Did I ever tell you, we've met Pops Crowder, one of the most badass moments, I saw, we were in a parking lot one time, and I don't know, my dad had a bumper sticker, the guy had a bumper sticker, something, you know, and he made some smart-ass comment or something to my dad.

02:10:26.000 Right.

02:10:27.000 My dad said something about, you know, like, yeah, well, you know, it's good to know that you support people who hate their country, something like that.

02:10:32.000 Oh, wow.

02:10:32.000 And the guy said, yeah, good to know that you're some Republican fairy, something like that.

02:10:36.000 And my dad must have been having a bad day, but my dad stopped and he turned and he said, Who do you think you're talking to?

02:10:42.000 And I said, what?

02:10:44.000 He said, you don't know me.

02:10:46.000 I'm a strange man to you.

02:10:47.000 You don't go and call a strange man fairy.

02:10:51.000 Do you have any idea how this could pan out for you?

02:10:54.000 He was like, well, you didn't at least say I'm sorry and went back into his car.

02:10:58.000 It was like, it was one of those things where it's like, he probably is like fairy, like, yeah, Sprite.

02:11:02.000 My dad was like, Who do you think you're talking to?

02:11:05.000 Sounds like your dad was having a great day.

02:11:07.000 Yeah, well, he did after that.

02:11:09.000 Took a while to wipe the smile off of his face. 1.00

02:11:11.000 My father would say, what the fuck did you say? 0.99

02:11:11.000 That's true. 0.99

02:11:12.000 The guy would stab my father. 0.60

02:11:14.000 That was a different generation.

02:11:17.000 It was like 310 to Yuma.

02:11:19.000 They're gonna hang me in the morning.

02:11:22.000 So, um, look, one thing too, I will say this, before we go, oh, what is this?

02:11:27.000 My grenade just fell?

02:11:28.000 Oh no, it's a little army man.

02:11:30.000 I thought it was an artichoke heart.

02:11:32.000 Why would that be on your desk?

02:11:34.000 I don't know!

02:11:35.000 I thought you liked artichokes!

02:11:36.000 It's in every recipe these days!

02:11:37.000 Incredibly impractical.

02:11:38.000 You haven't had the army artichoke?

02:11:40.000 The army artichoke.

02:11:42.000 Military mushrooms?

02:11:43.000 You peel the artichoke, count three seconds, and then... It's a new gay sexual position. 1.00

02:11:48.000 I gotta block the shining head. 1.00

02:11:50.000 Well, a little Chardonnay, and all of a sudden, Gerald is David Tell.

02:11:53.000 Hey, hey, hey! 0.55

02:11:53.000 That's not Chardonnay. 0.55

02:11:54.000 That's Sauvignon Blanc.

02:11:55.000 I love that he's getting tipsy.

02:11:56.000 It becomes shimmel.

02:11:59.000 It's okay.

02:12:00.000 We all have needs.

02:12:00.000 It's okay.

02:12:01.000 Now!

02:12:06.000 I need to tell you this, because we get a lot of chats from people, and we'll take those on Mug Club, where people will say, hey, I work in an industry where I'm scared to sort of come out with my political perspective.

02:12:16.000 Oh, it's Dunkin' Donuts for Christ's sake.

02:12:18.000 But you will, you'll hear people say this all the time.

02:12:20.000 And we answer, look, let your freak flag fly. 0.99

02:12:22.000 Or they say, you know what, I'm scared with what I do, if the person who works with me knows how I line up politically, that they may set me up to fail, or we work in kind of a team environment.

02:12:32.000 So, I want you, because this is a common thread, we see this a lot, picture that, and I get it, it's scary.

02:12:38.000 For example, you might fail a test if you come out of the closet as a conservative in university.

02:12:44.000 You may not get a role as an actor, as a performer, you may not get a spot as a comic on a showcase set.

02:12:52.000 You may, for example, if you work in technology, you may not get promoted.

02:12:57.000 Right?

02:12:57.000 Because other people around you, if they know where you line up, and they don't share your values, and they become the majority, it becomes a mob mentality.

02:13:04.000 Now I want you to picture that, and rather than maybe failing a test, failing a grader, your paper, maybe not getting a job, maybe losing an audition, picture that same environment with people shooting at you.

02:13:21.000 That's what we're talking about tonight.

02:13:24.000 We're talking about people who are going out there.

02:13:26.000 Who, by the way, you've seen, that's why we highlight these charities, they come back different than they left, not only mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically.

02:13:34.000 Many of them are missing limbs.

02:13:36.000 They have diseases or illnesses that we can't even begin to imagine.

02:13:43.000 And now they have to worry about going out there and... Is this person next to me?

02:13:49.000 First off, are they the most qualified person?

02:13:53.000 I can't say the answer is no.

02:13:55.000 It's scarier than that.

02:13:56.000 The answer is you couldn't possibly know.

02:14:00.000 And you might get booted or dishonorably discharged for using the wrong pronouns in the heat of battle.

02:14:08.000 Or you may lose your job or be reprimanded because you're not on board with hiring based on diversity when you're really supposed to be going out and killing people.

02:14:21.000 Think about that.

02:14:23.000 When you think about how toxic the work environment is for some... And I get it, by the way.

02:14:28.000 You are risking something.

02:14:28.000 I get it.

02:14:29.000 You're risking your livelihood.

02:14:30.000 Wars have been fought over less.

02:14:32.000 I understand it.

02:14:32.000 It's not lost on me.

02:14:34.000 But now picture yourself in an actually toxic environment, where the smell of gunpowder, gas, blood, death fills the air, and you can't possibly know if the person next to you Is there to protect you?

02:14:52.000 Is capable of protecting you?

02:14:54.000 Or is the diversity higher?

02:14:58.000 And we know that's by design.

02:15:00.000 Tonight, thanks to the undercover work they've done, we know that is by design.

02:15:04.000 And we know what the greatest threat is to the United States of America.

02:15:07.000 There's no doubt about it.

02:15:08.000 It's China. 0.90

02:15:09.000 It's China. 0.90

02:15:11.000 Are we ready to deal with China? 0.99

02:15:14.000 Economically?

02:15:16.000 Or, if it actually breaks out into a conflict.

02:15:20.000 I'll tell you one thing that I do know.

02:15:22.000 We, at one point, I'd like to think we still are, we were the greatest fighting force that this country's ever known.

02:15:27.000 It was kind of a point of pride, you may not know this, to those who are under the age of 30.

02:15:31.000 People were proud of it, the United States military.

02:15:34.000 I do know that China doesn't care about diversity, equity, and inclusion. 0.91

02:15:38.000 I do know that not only do they not care about that, they don't care about ethics, rules of engagement, or basic fundamental human rights.

02:15:47.000 While we're facing a shortfall for recruitment because people aren't meeting the standards of DEI, and people don't want to join up our military, they can throw as many bodies at any conflict, humanly possible, whether they are willing or not.

02:16:03.000 And these are people with no regard for human life, and no regard for basic fundamental human rights.

02:16:09.000 How do I know?

02:16:10.000 Well, look, if you don't believe me, ask any Uyghur Muslim in China. 1.00

02:16:18.000 That's right.

02:16:19.000 You can't. 0.98

02:16:19.000 When we say we need a minimum amount of transgender Muslims in our Marines, for example, they say we're going to lock every single Muslim up in our country in a prison until we maybe hit a shortfall and can use their body to grease the gears of war. 0.98

02:16:36.000 You can't win a conflict with people like that. 0.88

02:16:39.000 Not only by playing by rules of engagement, I don't mean not losing yourself in conflict.

02:16:45.000 I mean made-up rules from people who've not only never seen the heat of battle, have never been in a fistfight or a conflict their entire life.

02:16:53.000 This policy is being determined by an administration led by a man who has suckled at the government teat since his mid-twenties.

02:17:01.000 Joe Biden not only has no idea what the battlefield looks like today, he couldn't tell you What a paycheck looks like that doesn't come at a taxpayer's expense.

02:17:15.000 And these are the people in charge of how you fight your wars.

02:17:20.000 And I hope that the people out there who can make a difference, have a spine, and do so, take your lead from the people who've been doing the work undercover.

02:17:27.000 And by the way, you'll never know their names.

02:17:28.000 You'll never see their faces.

02:17:29.000 All I can tell you is the work that they do is incredible.

02:17:31.000 Very proud to be associated with them.
