00:01:42.880 and then we have what's called 75 hard verses now 75 hard verses is based on the 75 hard program
00:01:50.660 and the 75 hard program is the initial phase of the live hard program a lot of people don't really
00:01:56.180 understand what live hard is but if you go listen to episode 208 and you uh it's on the audio feeds by
00:02:02.580 the way it's not on youtube but episode 208 you'll get the program for free both 75 hard and live hard
00:02:08.260 it'll explain to you what it does it is the world's only transformative mental toughness program
00:02:14.580 uh it's highly successful you've probably heard about it it's spread all over and people call it
00:02:19.520 a trend but you know trends don't typically grow year after year uh for four and a half years straight
00:02:25.240 that's called something that works and if you want to fix your shit there's nothing better to do it
00:02:30.600 so go check out episode 208 on the audio feed and uh get your shit straight now guys we do have
00:02:37.900 as we occasionally do a very special guest joining us for this cti um good buddy of mine uh been a
00:02:48.320 friend of mine for a long time uh mr nick jones what's happening brother what's going on andy
00:02:54.800 thanks for having me i'm good man how are you good now you guys think this is just my buddy but
00:03:01.720 in reality nick has a crazy story to tell um he's a navy cross recipient and if you know what the navy
00:03:10.740 cross is the navy cross is the medal that is right below the medal of honor and the way that he earned
00:03:18.460 that cross is something that we're going to talk about a little bit before we get the show going
00:03:22.340 so um let's talk about that let's where do you want to start well um man i mean where did you where
00:03:35.200 did you where did you begin your military career what made you decide you wanted to join the military
00:03:41.100 so i mean considering the date um three days ago what 22 years um 9-11 happened i was
00:03:52.040 very young i was probably fourth grade fifth grade and as soon as that happened in my life
00:03:58.360 i started to follow the iraq and afghanistan invasion um my sister is nine years older than me
00:04:05.540 so a bunch of her friends started joining and i was watching following them and then growing up in
00:04:11.480 kansas city just right down the road from you guys i mean i thought i experimented with all sorts of
00:04:19.080 other drugs and alcohol at a younger age and i was just like you know what a typical midwestern
00:04:23.880 upbringing right yeah yeah so it's like all right like i'm i'm already living that war path and you
00:04:30.760 know i want to go fight for this country and that's just what was like in my blood and so i joined i
00:04:37.100 actually i ended up going to this alternative school i almost dropped out of high school but i was
00:04:41.400 like i need my my degree so that i can go into the marine corps and um as soon as i graduated
00:04:47.840 december 09 i left in january of 2010 to go to boot camp so as soon as i turned 18 i went shipped off
00:04:54.960 i started my career in camp pendleton as a infantry marine um i was a mortar man at the beginning so
00:05:02.000 basically just dropping bombs and tubes and hitting people from far distances um i i did a deployment as
00:05:10.480 a mortar man and then i saw these snipers running around in their ghillie suits and i was like i want to
00:05:14.880 try out for that like that's what i got to go do so as soon as we got back i i tried out for the
00:05:19.440 sniper platoon and we're running around all over camp pendleton and uh starting to do a workup for the
00:05:26.720 next deployment to afghanistan and i start seeing all of these signs around the base for marsoc and i was
00:05:32.640 like what is marsoc i knew what recon was which was like what started marsoc back in the day um marsoc is
00:05:41.840 the marine special operations command so if you think about most people still don't know who we
00:05:46.720 are um i think we're it was started in 2006 um so it's very new but it's an up-and-coming special
00:05:55.840 operations community basically so this would be equivalent to like green berets or navy seals um
00:06:03.040 air force pjs things like that okay yeah so we we mirror pretty much identically for a green beret uh team
00:06:10.720 okay so now it's evolved into something that's pretty amazing there's all sorts of different
00:06:18.320 teams and they're all regionally aligned to different different areas uh i was specifically
00:06:23.920 in a jump team so we did a lot of like advanced free fall stuff um jumping from 29 000 feet and every
00:06:31.360 time i'm up every time i'm up in a uh commercial plane i'm looking down i'm like man i've jumped from
00:06:37.680 this high do you have to have like a mask on and everything oh yeah yeah we pre-breathe on oxygen
00:06:42.400 the whole way up and then um getting ready suiting up in the plane and then putting oxygen on before
00:06:47.520 we jump out it's really cool because then by the time you jump out like we open really high as well
00:06:52.880 and uh you're you're sitting there floating under this parachute seeing the curvature of the earth and
00:06:57.760 just hanging out it's freezing cold oh you're gonna have all the flat earthers mad about that yeah
00:07:03.680 i've seen the um yeah so anyways like i you know basically wanted i continued to
00:07:15.120 search for more in my career i once i made it to the sniper community i was like this is great but i i
00:07:22.000 know that there's more i want to go try out for the the next best thing so i tried out for marsock in
00:07:26.720 2013 i moved really quick i tried to move as fast as i could because i was like i i just felt the
00:07:34.880 potential i felt the growth happening and i i knew i had this like leadership mentality that i i needed
00:07:41.440 to let like eat um so i i took selection in 2013 that was six weeks long it was pretty gruesome uh lots
00:07:50.800 of ruck running lots of running lots of carrying heavy weight and just moving through the woods and
00:07:55.680 what's the ruck running like i gotta know about this it's so we have 45 pound rucks without or
00:08:02.560 before food and water um and then like if you're like me i drink a lot of water when i'm moving and
00:08:08.080 i don't like to be without it because there was a mission in afghanistan where i where my team ran
00:08:12.480 out of water and then we got extended two more days and it was just a fucking rough rough day uh rough
00:08:18.960 couple days and um so i i moved with a lot of water on me and basically we do a timed four
00:08:29.680 eight ten and twelve mile ruck run and the 12 miler is what normally gets people especially because
00:08:36.720 we start so late and then we end when it's still dark and it's like dudes are just going and it's
00:08:41.200 like this super long like dreadful trail that you're on and it's just like never ending but you know
00:08:47.920 that's when that mental mental fortitude kicks in and it's just like i gotta keep going what's the
00:08:52.800 time on a 12 hour ruck run i think you had to complete it in under two and a half hours holy
00:08:59.120 shit yeah so you're really running you gotta move yeah you have to move yeah and that's an awkward
00:09:04.560 run dude because i've been secretly okay i've been you don't know this but i've actually been trying to
00:09:12.000 run with my ruck yeah because i get so tired of all these people out here bragging about all their
00:09:16.640 running i've determined that i'm going to learn how to run like properly yeah and so i'm like
00:09:21.280 fuck it i'll learn to run my ruck on and then it'll it'll be that much cooler yeah so i've been doing
00:09:25.600 it and it's really fucking hard to do bro yeah because the shit's bouncing on you the whole time
00:09:29.840 it's really it's a it's like an uncomfortable thing what do you just get used to that you do
00:09:34.080 find like a rhythm yeah yeah i mean that's like a 12 and a half minute mile yeah you're cruising dude
00:09:39.600 like that yeah that's fast yeah you can't if you're walking you're you have to speed walk i
00:09:45.440 mean it's it's a it's a hustle yeah yeah so it is dude like i would say that you get used to it but
00:09:53.120 it sucks every time you do it yeah like i don't know i i mean you got to be a psychopath if you think
00:09:58.720 that it's like no big deal yeah yeah i mean there are some dudes that will book it i mean like
00:10:04.560 running faster than i run without bro did you see will did you see what will did out there no so
00:10:10.080 will did a hundred pound mile and did it in like eight what was it eight minutes like like i said
00:10:16.240 psychopaths yeah yeah that's insane bro i couldn't run an eight minute mile with with no way yeah like
00:10:23.440 i really couldn't do it yeah i'm totally green when it comes to that yeah but that's crazy it's wild
00:10:29.440 well i got a new goal yeah yeah there you go real so so so you joined marsoc so marsoc so i want to
00:10:37.120 how do we get to this picture and so for those of you guys at home this is uh this is when you receive
00:10:43.280 yeah your navy how do we get to this picture here so january 2020 um this is it'll be my third deployment
00:10:53.440 with my my raider team so when you get in there you're called a marine raider um i was an element
00:11:02.880 leader which i'm basically in charge of like four other guys in my team but i was one of the more
00:11:09.360 senior combat like veteran guys in my team so um whenever we got to iraq we were still hunting isis
00:11:16.320 and you know it's it's 2020 at the beginning of it when i got there the world was still somewhat put
00:11:23.520 together um the team that we had just replaced there actually lost one of their highest enlisted guys
00:11:32.720 um on a mission in august so when we were getting ready for our turnover we were like hey man like
00:11:40.720 there's shit still happening there's still combat happening overseas no matter what you see on the
00:11:44.960 news like they're there's dudes fighting and there's dudes that are dying and a lot of my guys
00:11:50.240 have never been to combat yeah and at this point they're not even talking about it anymore yeah right
00:11:54.000 oh yeah and so you know it was uh it was a real thing getting into it and what isis had now come
00:12:03.280 down to is basically like i mean they were damn near getting close to a conventional force they were
00:12:08.720 running they had like a whole governance established and all this stuff they started as an insurgency and
00:12:14.320 the way that they move up well now they're back they were basically back down to an insurgency so
00:12:19.600 now they're hiding out in caves they're in these little sleeper cells all over the big cities and
00:12:24.560 so our task when we were there was to hunt them and find them and kill them take care of them however we
00:12:30.720 we can we found ourselves being tasked with a lot of like cave and tunnel clearances that's not
00:12:37.920 something that we've really even messed with since vietnam like all the tunnel rats and things like that so it
00:12:43.840 was it was interesting especially in as a special operations team like we work in a very small
00:12:48.560 capacity with we have we have assets but um basically we had to get creative with explosives
00:12:57.920 with the way that we enter with the way that we engage with our partner force so now we're teaching
00:13:02.320 them to be able to crawl into these tunnels and clear these things out so we have done several of them
00:13:07.840 at this point and it was late february and my team gets tasked with this really large cave clearance
00:13:14.880 operation we'd been watching this thing for i think weeks at this point all they've seen was seven isis
00:13:21.760 fighters coming in and out of these caves they've seen seven entrances and it looked like a pretty
00:13:26.960 straightforward mission it was on the side of this mountain and i i had a pretty pretty good plan i think
00:13:34.480 um we had it all set up we were going to drop two thousand pound bombs on every cave entrance right
00:13:41.600 before we entered so it was like all right cool like the ground's going to be softened up
00:13:46.640 dudes are probably going to be concussed we are we already knew that it wasn't going to kill them
00:13:50.400 we've been in caves before like you strike it with a with a bomb it's only going to hit the surface
00:13:54.960 it's not going to penetrate in there and actually like kill the dudes but we had snipers in place we had
00:14:00.400 machine gunners in place and um my team flies in they start dropping bombs i guess let me back up
00:14:08.800 because so i told you that they had only seen seven guys at the beginning well 24 hours before we were
00:14:13.760 about to leave we tell our partner force what we're going to go do they knew that we'd been
00:14:17.040 doing rehearsals for something they didn't know where we were going so within that 24 hours before
00:14:22.400 we were about to leave the intelligence starts coming back like hey now there's 10 guys there
00:14:28.160 now there's 11 now there's 12 we're about two hours before we're going to leave there's 19
00:14:33.440 motherfuckers on the ground and how many how many on your we have a lot we had um but the numbers are
00:14:40.240 building yeah i mean yeah so and in the planning you basically have these go and no-go criterias
00:14:47.440 and a no-go criteria is like if they reinforce to double their size well they're over double and
00:14:53.680 they're like we're still going which as killers you know we're like let's go i'm ready like i'm
00:15:00.400 ready to go do my job but now it's real and we know that we're going to get into a fight um
00:15:07.600 so once we land they're hitting this shit they're really softening it up for us um bombs are
00:15:17.200 making good impacts snipers engage some dudes kill some guys
00:15:20.320 uh machine gunners let loose and they kill some guys as well uh but now there's no real like
00:15:26.720 head count we don't know how many guys are still alive we don't know what's still out there and i'm
00:15:31.280 leading the the patrol down once we land in our helicopters i think i have like 50 iraqis with me
00:15:37.840 um and then there's probably 20 us and uh so we start walking down the mountain and you can still
00:15:48.160 see the plumes of smoke from the bombs that had just been dropped uh it's pretty pretty wild once
00:15:54.080 we reach a certain point i call up to the support by fire which is like the the machine gunners and
00:15:59.200 the snipers and i was like hey when i reach this point i need you guys to just start shooting because
00:16:03.120 i'm going to start making noise and walking up to where i need to go so they do they actually engage
00:16:08.640 a couple more bad guys in that movement which was pretty cool i throw some smokes and then pop up on
00:16:13.680 these rocks and as soon as we get up there we start seeing the first caves but at this point
00:16:18.800 people in the back are starting to get kind of antsy they want to go do work as well and we got
00:16:24.000 a lot of guys so my team chief which is the highest enlisted guy in my team um he was a gunnery sergeant
00:16:31.760 so one rank higher than me but still like a very senior guy in the team um said hey i i see something
00:16:38.480 over here i want to split off and go take care of this real quick i tried to tell him no like
00:16:44.240 just wait we're almost done clearing this um this cave out i was literally had hands on this dead isis
00:16:50.400 fighter like pulling all of this stuff out of his pockets getting his fingerprints and whatnot whatever
00:16:57.760 we do to to the um sensitive exploitation processing yeah processing exactly so once
00:17:08.240 he continues to go do what he thought he needed to go do he breaks off um and takes about half of the
00:17:16.800 patrol and the reason why you don't really do that is like you start getting sucked in you see more and
00:17:24.800 more things and then basically like now he's got a other assault force that's completely detached from
00:17:32.800 the original plan and they start getting further sucked down and down into this mountain well now
00:17:39.760 the support by fire can't see them anymore i can't see them anymore they're basically in the middle of us
00:17:45.920 and i was like okay like they they can do this we're all trained for this we all know what to do
00:17:52.000 let's just keep fucking going i go up to this next cave i had just thrown in this this grenade and
00:17:58.560 inside um it's kind of like our our sop our standard operating procedure let's just throw
00:18:03.280 something in there soften it up peek our head in there and see um see what we got and uh when i do
00:18:10.960 that huge explosion it's called an asm round and anti-structural ammunition it's almost a full pound
00:18:16.960 of c4 which is a fucking it's a pretty big bang in this little little grenade but it covers everything
00:18:24.000 in dust and i peek up and i look at him and there's this dead isis fighter in there completely white
00:18:29.600 covered in dust and i'm this guy's face is going to be forever ingrained in my in my memory because
00:18:36.800 as i'm staring at him he's fully kitted out he's still got his rifle like right there he's got an m16
00:18:43.120 there's an ak there there's a a pkm which is a belt-fed machine gun that's mounted into the wall
00:18:48.720 that's looking down into the valley like they were ready for us they were ready for a fight
00:18:53.920 but as i'm staring at this guy i'm like okay i'm gonna make entry into this cave
00:18:58.480 i just hear this hell break loose behind me machine guns grenades like all of this like
00:19:05.280 chaos and i was like holy crap like these guys are in contact and they're calling it in contact five
00:19:11.200 meters 20 meters five meters and then it's just like there's a casualty and uh at first i didn't
00:19:18.320 know who it was if it was partner force if it was one of us if it was a we had some french guys with us
00:19:25.680 um and then a couple seconds later there's an eagle down and an eagle is a u.s service member and uh
00:19:36.000 freaking gut drops and i was like oh my god it's fine they got it they got it under control
00:19:41.600 and then not even a second later there's another eagle down and i was like i just got the goosebumps
00:19:46.480 i was like oh shit and uh i turn around and i look at my iraqis and i was like hey you guys stay here
00:19:53.360 you need to watch this cave i gotta go and i just ran as fast as i could they call these the i mean it
00:19:59.920 was probably the most untactful way that i could get there but i ran up and over this finger of this
00:20:05.840 mountain i ran by like two other caves that i didn't know if they'd been cleared or not there's
00:20:11.520 blankets and there's like little heidi positions in there so i just shoot a couple rounds through
00:20:15.520 each one of those and i'm just like i got a mission and i gotta get the these guys as fast
00:20:20.160 as i can and i get down there and everybody is frozen nobody knew what to do but there's a
00:20:26.000 ton of gunfire going off still and i was like yo where are the casualties like what's going on tell
00:20:30.640 me something and it's just like dudes are like ghosts like i don't know what the to do
00:20:35.840 so i throw my ruck off and i jump into where i hear the fire coming from and there's one guy
00:20:40.000 and they're fighting and it's a french guy i start asking him what what the deal is he can't
00:20:46.000 even speak english i'm like okay guns pointed this way bad guys are this way so i mean the
00:20:50.800 walls are close they're closer than these walls here and there's boulders rocks everything and
00:20:57.360 i get a wild hair up my ass and i start crawling up these rocks and i still have my like nvgs up on
00:21:03.360 my head and i pop up over this rock and i see this massive cave entrance that's just stacked with rocks
00:21:10.800 like a big ass bunker um as soon as it sees i see it it's they see me and immediate machine gun fire
00:21:18.240 like makes me get my head down and i see as i popped my head up i saw a body right up there
00:21:23.280 and i was like well there's no way this dude's alive if they're shooting this much at me like
00:21:26.400 there's no fucking way this is one of our guys i didn't know it okay and uh so this french guy
00:21:33.040 starts yelling he's yelling something and i later i found out he's telling this person to roll he's
00:21:37.920 saying it in french but whatever he was saying he's just like roll roll roll and all of a sudden
00:21:42.640 i see these legs fly up in the air and my first instinct was like i need to go grab him so i just
00:21:48.080 chicken wing my gun basically just put my butt sock under my my armpit and run up there and i
00:21:55.360 shooting with one hand and i grabbed this dude with the other just shooting as fast as i could
00:21:59.680 pull him down and like push him down off of these rocks and then get him down to this other french
00:22:04.400 guy and he grabs him and i'm dumping rounds i have to reload real quick and still shooting
00:22:10.800 and uh finally like dudes woke up they pulled him out and he was shot through and through in
00:22:17.840 the left leg and shot in the top of the head luckily he was alive he was a french operator um french
00:22:23.520 special operator and i was like okay you said there's two other casualties you said there's two americans
00:22:29.280 where the are the other guys and this is after i had gotten out of that situation and they're like
00:22:35.760 i think that they're up there in front of the cave i was like well there's no way i can get there from
00:22:40.160 here so i basically got out of that situation i went and i walked on top of the cave now like they're
00:22:45.120 like in this like nasty cut ravine thing and basically i'm on top of the roof now and uh how far below
00:22:53.440 below below you are they it was probably four feet oh okay so you're like right i'm right on top
00:23:01.200 of it like they could hear everything i was doing right so when i got there i i talked to my snipers
00:23:07.600 and they were like walking me on to exactly where to walk so then i didn't like have to like come over
00:23:12.720 and like look around the edge and do this like i wanted to be right on top and they walked me right
00:23:18.160 up to it and as i get closer and closer i see i start to see the the aftermath down there and i
00:23:25.920 see one body and the first body that i see i'm like there's no way this dude's alive um just by the
00:23:33.760 looks of it i could i could confirm right there he was dead yeah and then i move up just a little bit
00:23:40.480 more and i see my other teammate and he it was almost convincing that he was alive so i said his name
00:23:46.640 a few times he was sitting upright his eyes were still open it's almost in the position there he
00:23:52.000 was pushing back because he was still fighting and um yeah that's uh yeah that's it right there um so
00:24:04.160 yeah i'd see him and then basically when i confirmed that they were both dead i was like
00:24:08.240 fuck uh i'm i pushed back i called over the radio i said hey sir um this is what's happened mo and diego
00:24:19.440 are gone they're dead and he's like what do you mean it's like i just told you like they're gone
00:24:25.520 he's like you need to go back and confirm i was like i'm telling you right now sir they are dead and
00:24:30.320 it was the hardest thing that i've had to do you know but it was like i need to make a new plan like
00:24:35.760 it's no longer like hunting isis it's now a recovery mission so i had a bunch of grenades
00:24:41.440 on me still and i was like i'm just gonna go back up there i'm gonna do everything i can i'm gonna jump
00:24:48.480 down there and pull these dudes out it'll be done so i go up and i basically lay on top of their roof
00:24:54.720 and i start leaning over like you're gonna look underneath a desk and uh i start chucking grenades
00:24:59.600 in and like i could literally see the whites of their eyes when i would look down
00:25:03.920 there and chuck these grenades and they would just be shooting up at me and
00:25:08.480 now we start taking shots from the other side of the valley and we find out that they've got
00:25:13.840 fighting positions all over like looking at this one main trap this one main bunker and uh so
00:25:24.560 i throw a few grenades in there still getting shot at i'm like dude i can't get down here so
00:25:29.600 i call an apache um an attack helicopter basically i said hey like i first called the jtac and uh the
00:25:38.560 joint terminal air controller and i was like hey i need you to help me like thread some bombs through
00:25:44.160 this fucking cave and he's like okay well like you need to talk to this guy i don't know exactly where
00:25:49.920 you need me to put it and so i was like okay like helicopter you see me i'm standing on the cave right
00:25:54.480 now here's your grid fucking shoot this please and he's like okay four feet low yeah yeah don't
00:26:01.440 fucking shoot me yeah so he's like okay well you need to move and i was like well yeah no
00:26:05.680 shit so and i go and i move he's like i can still see you you need to move farther i was like dude i
00:26:10.960 am low on water i'm low on ammunition i'm tired as i'm not moving anymore i'll hide behind this rock and
00:26:16.480 he's like okay i'll let it rip so they shot 220 30 millimeter rounds in there and the snipers were
00:26:25.520 like there's no effect rocks didn't move nothing fucking happened i was like thread a hellfire in
00:26:30.160 there please with all due respect fucking do it yeah and uh they did and still nothing man i went back
00:26:39.760 up there i tried again i threw some more grenades in there and i was still getting some gnarly fucking
00:26:45.200 feedback like they were still shooting at us from every angle how how was it that that missile didn't
00:26:50.000 do anything if you could see a photo of this cave like they had these rocks and like it was such a small
00:26:59.760 cutout um i don't i don't know i personally didn't get to enter the cave um later that night
00:27:08.240 a few dudes did um from delta force some guys came in that night and actually got to recover
00:27:15.600 our guys so super thankful for them and what they do and how fucking hard they train like yeah um
00:27:25.840 so basically i went back up there i tried a couple more times and i was almost at the point
00:27:33.520 where i was like man i i don't know what else to do if i tell him to go down there he's got two kids
00:27:39.360 he's got a kid like i'm gonna get other people killed like i'd rather keep trying this for myself
00:27:44.960 and i went back up there for the last time we're shooting we're throwing more grenades in there and
00:27:49.680 the next thing you know it's just like bam it's like holy what was that i got shot i had like no other
00:27:56.800 i get down i like kind of roll back and i was like i my leg is burning it's on fire right now
00:28:02.880 now where they hit you right in the in the shin in my right shin and i didn't see a bunch of blood
00:28:11.040 at the beginning and i looked down i'm like man i i feel like i'll be okay i try to walk over to my
00:28:17.680 medic and i was like my leg was burning yeah like i didn't know if i broke something or what happened
00:28:26.480 then i get over there and he looks at it and it's already super swollen and just a little tiny
00:28:31.040 trickle of blood coming out it almost looked like i got like shot by a bb like so something was lodged
00:28:38.160 in my legs like made it super swollen right off the bat but i couldn't put any weight on it and uh
00:28:44.640 so he's i went over to the medic i was like hey dude i think i just got shot he's like what do you
00:28:48.720 mean you think you got shot i was like i don't know my leg hurts it's fucking bleeding check me out
00:28:52.720 he's like all right let me check it out so he looks he's like yeah sure shit so i i basically
00:29:00.240 called up to the commander and i was like hey man like we need a new plan their plan was to
00:29:03.680 fucking drop a bomb on it and i'm like dude no you have two americans sitting at the base of this cave
00:29:10.080 you cannot do that like that not not going to happen we need another plan and i'm a staff sergeant
00:29:15.200 telling high-ranking officers what to do yeah there's other high-ranking individuals out there
00:29:21.360 that weren't really taking command and it was just like dude i'm i'm an i felt capable but i'm like i'm
00:29:28.480 a low-ranking guy there's a command structure for a reason why am i the one fucking stepping up to make
00:29:33.040 these calls and telling officers no on certain things um it's interesting how people respond
00:29:40.640 to those types of situations it really really know until you're in it yeah and it's like dudes can
00:29:47.120 respond one way in training and then it's like once the real things are happening that's where
00:29:53.360 yeah some dudes will just shut down um but so they they basically made the call they were going to
00:30:03.280 wait for the quick reaction force to come in the qrf and once they showed up they were like okay well
00:30:08.000 let's just watch the cave for a while make sure that nobody fucks with our guys and wait for the
00:30:14.240 special mission unit to come in so that the delta force unit came in that night
00:30:18.480 um they got into a gnarly firefight uh killed like four more bad guys inside the cave
00:30:27.280 they made entry in there and then a suicide vest cranked off in there um blowing luckily no other
00:30:34.240 u.s dudes got injured um i think a couple dudes did take i don't know maybe a couple cuts and scratches
00:30:40.320 or whatever but um the only are those suicide vests like filled with like shrapnel and stuff like that
00:30:47.120 just like you see on tv yeah yeah yeah it's wild man like beads um i don't know like marbles yeah
00:30:54.560 ball bearings yeah nails like all sorts of nasty shit depending on like who what who the maker is
00:31:01.120 they'll have their own like taste on what they want to put in there um working with like the eod techs
00:31:08.000 like the explosive ordinance disposal guys i got to experience a lot of like working with that stuff
00:31:14.480 and explosives so i would help them like uh blow in place a lot of stuff we call it bipping so like
00:31:20.000 we would take like suicide vests and all sorts of other that they had made and like blow them up where
00:31:25.920 they were so nobody could use them anymore but it was just wild you dissect these things and see like
00:31:30.400 they're putting nails in there they're putting all sorts of like rusted out screws and weird yeah so
00:31:36.080 it just like wreaks havoc on whatever it hits so yeah um once i got medevaced like the the terrain was
00:31:44.720 so steep they basically they had to bring down a hoist so um a helicopter lowered down this wire
00:31:52.800 and they this medic picked me up from the side of the mountain picked me up take took me to the hospital
00:31:58.240 and uh um i was sitting next to the french guy in there his legs blown out and i got this little
00:32:07.600 pinprick in my leg and like the doctors were like oh you'll be fine man like you'll be walking in two
00:32:12.000 weeks no problem two weeks come by still can't walk still on crutches and i i basically told my team
00:32:19.840 i was like hey man like i can't do this anymore um i need to go get more help so went and tried to get
00:32:25.600 more help and had to get back to the states and now um it's april 1st by the time i get back home
00:32:33.760 april 1st of 2020 and it's a ghost town everywhere covid was running rampant through the middle east
00:32:41.760 covid is now taking over the states um so this picture right here is when i landed in wilmington
00:32:50.560 um my wife and maybe two other friends were there to greet me nobody from the marine corps nobody from
00:32:57.840 the government nobody from my team most of my team was still deployed but like um because they couldn't
00:33:06.240 because of covid yeah just like and we couldn't have funerals yeah just like people had to die
00:33:13.840 over a zoom call just like a lot of bullshit oh yeah yeah and they made me go straight home
00:33:21.360 in quarantine for two weeks no visitors no phone calls no fucking nothing spending a lot of time on
00:33:28.320 my couch looking like a couch potato and uh i had to coordinate my own travel up to walter reed
00:33:37.760 every time for my surgeries for all of that stuff and uh go get my surgeries still no real check-in
00:33:46.240 still no heads up what's up how you doing thank you for what you did uh nothing i guess you know
00:33:52.720 it's like whatever i i did my job i'm gonna get back out there i'm gonna my goal was to get surgery
00:33:57.440 and go back out to country because we i got shot in march we just got there in january so i'd only been
00:34:02.400 there two months and uh after that first surgery man it was like there's fucking no way like in the
00:34:10.400 back of my head i was like i want to get back there but i i doubt it um and what did they find was going
00:34:17.520 on with your leg it so whenever i got hit basically whatever went in there like shrapneled out or
00:34:23.600 splintered out and destroyed my superficial peroneal nerve and which is one of your main sensory
00:34:29.680 nerves in your leg and so it was just causing all this crazy pain and then i ended up getting
00:34:35.040 this rare symptom syndrome called complex regional pain syndrome so it basically took over my sympathetic
00:34:41.440 nervous system and like started like every time i would get mad sad angry or depressed like my leg
00:34:48.160 would flare up i could literally feel it and see it and it was just it was fucking insane i didn't really
00:34:53.840 believe that stuff like i was very much a part of that whole like it sounds up but like i didn't
00:35:00.560 think that ptsd was real because i kind of thought like oh well those dudes are too weak they just
00:35:05.680 couldn't handle combat they couldn't handle yeah man the fuck up yeah right and it was just like here's
00:35:09.520 a fucking straw dude suck it up yeah but then when this happened this was literally the straw that broke
00:35:15.600 the camel's back because it was like i i cried almost every single day after that like all of those images
00:35:23.840 like then i get this like i was at the peak physical performance of my fucking career and now it's
00:35:29.440 like i get shot i can barely walk like my wife literally one of your athletes literally carried me
00:35:36.800 inside when i had this i had this infection in my leg i was six surgeries deep thinking that i was
00:35:43.680 going to be able to run like a week before that and i get this fucking gnarly infection in my leg that
00:35:49.120 nearly kills me i went septic i got 106 fever i was like i'm about to die i made it through all
00:35:54.240 of this now i'm about to die from this infection yeah and i so like badass you are yeah i know right
00:36:01.760 god damn and so she carries me inside and i was like this is a low point in my life but it's i mean
00:36:07.920 at least i got a strong wife to be able to do it so well how she carries you wasn't bad i feel like we
00:36:12.800 saw it she i think she posted it yeah yeah video or camera like a baby yeah i mean that's still
00:36:19.680 respectable well let's be real bro it's not like she's like some like weak ass woman either yeah
00:36:25.680 very athletic very strong and very no bullshit oh yeah yeah yeah and man like if i like got to give
00:36:32.480 credit to anybody it's it's her because every surgery everything that i went through she was right
00:36:38.480 there she was i mean every second of the day like whatever i needed i was right there and i didn't
00:36:44.400 really do a very good job at giving her what she deserved at that time because it was booze it was
00:36:51.280 drugs it was whatever i could to stop feeling this pain and misery and um you know it actually was what
00:36:58.960 really woke me up is i i got notified that i was going to get awarded the navy cross and i was like holy
00:37:06.240 shit man like this award doesn't just get handed out like this is the real fucking deal like i
00:37:12.160 fantasized about people who would get these awards and i was like that is so badass and then as soon as
00:37:16.880 they told me that i was getting this thing i was like this isn't cool anymore like i don't i don't
00:37:22.480 really want this i'd rather have these dudes back i'd rather not have that like right detriment on my
00:37:27.200 my soul and uh it was december 21 january of 22 i started to become extremely suicidal um because
00:37:40.000 they had told me or i had just received the navy cross august 26th of 2021 and that was actually the
00:37:48.400 same day that 13 marines were killed in the kabul afghanistan yeah withdrawal yeah so like i'm prepping
00:37:57.360 for my speech for the navy cross ceremony and i get a phone call from the secretary of the navy
00:38:05.200 and he says hey staff sergeant jones like i'm sorry but i'm sure you heard but there was just this
00:38:10.720 bombing in afghanistan and i won't be able to make it because these 13 marines just died
00:38:16.000 and i was i was bummed i was shocked i was obviously feeling sorry for them but also reliving
00:38:24.160 everything that i had just gone through and i'm like man like because of everything in the world
00:38:28.880 that was going on when my team got killed or when my teammates got killed nobody knew about it nobody
00:38:36.160 even bat an eye about it it was on the news for maybe 20 minutes nobody knew that another us force
00:38:43.280 dude got shot like i mean there's still people figuring out what happened on that day when
00:38:48.480 my team got hit and it was like a very intense like i i mean we still lost american lives and nobody
00:38:55.760 knew about it yeah we were still over there we were fighting isis we were actively hunting dudes
00:39:00.400 and nobody knew and i was just i was just kind of shocked again i was like dude it's it's happening
00:39:11.600 again like the dude's not going to come here because something else in the world is you know it's
00:39:19.120 happening and that that's life but i actually got a call again from him in like 20 minutes he's like
00:39:25.760 you know what he's like i actually he's like we lose guys
00:39:33.440 often unfortunately he's like but it's not every day that we get to award somebody for the things that
00:39:38.640 they've done he's like so we just fired up the helicopter we'll be there in a little bit i was
00:39:42.160 like holy fuck like that's wild um that's a lot of ebbs and flows of just emotions it was man
00:39:48.880 and it was just like that was a traumatic day for i think everybody i can't imagine like seeing when
00:39:55.120 like like seeing the the the aftermath of those of that bombing and then seeing those guys like
00:40:02.800 fall from the airplanes and shit that day like that's like yeah like that was traumatic for me
00:40:07.280 and i didn't have any skin in that you know what i mean i can't imagine what that's like yeah for you
00:40:11.600 and it's like everybody's you know bringing up the whole like you know we we fought there for 20 years
00:40:17.920 like what are we doing what are we throwing away and it's just like man we've we lost a lot of
00:40:21.760 fucking guys and we're we lost them on the fucking last day that we're there too and it's just like
00:40:26.720 what are we what what is this still going on for and it's like it was it was super fucking hard
00:40:32.720 because it's like we fought for so much and now it's like you're pulling out like this and you're
00:40:37.360 fucking making us look like chumps dude um so it was definitely hard it was cool though that they
00:40:43.280 actually were able to come and recognize this and we were actually able to talk about it on that day too
00:40:48.640 and um actually on it was actually on 9 11 um in 21 i went up to walter reed and got to visit those
00:40:59.280 guys and and see them and it was awesome seeing like the overwhelming amount of support that they
00:41:03.840 had like all sorts of people from the command and the marine corps and the navy everybody was up there
00:41:11.360 to see them they had a bunch of support so that was great to see like i mean they the kids deserved it
00:41:15.840 they were so young dude that was the that was the wild part like they were i mean i was young when
00:41:20.560 this happened to me but i mean i was 28 and they were like 19 20 23 like it was crazy um so anyways
00:41:31.920 yeah they're kids bro yeah and
00:41:37.600 yeah i'm glad that they had the support they did up there it was good to see um so
00:41:43.920 all of this is going on and like i said i was very much a part of that stigma as a part of that
00:41:50.640 mentality like just suck it up and it starts hitting me more and more i'm going through all
00:41:57.360 these treatments but it was december of 21 into january of 22 like the it i basically i went through
00:42:06.640 retirement i moved out to montana i thought that that was going to be my fix but i was drinking more
00:42:10.800 than ever i was getting more depressed than ever and i was just like i'm done like this is it so um
00:42:19.200 yeah i i ended up trying to attempt to kill myself and ended all right there and you know i was just
00:42:27.360 like we're about to have this kid and i i can't be like this i can't be this person and raise a daughter
00:42:34.000 um well i didn't know it was going to be a daughter at that time yet but basically man like
00:42:40.320 i don't know fletcher was in there with me my service dog and i was in the garage and i was
00:42:44.880 drinking a lot and i ended up uh pulling the trigger on my nine mil and i have literally never
00:42:50.240 had a malfunction happen like that um gun didn't go bang and there was a round in the chamber and
00:42:59.280 everything and uh i basically took this big sigh and fletcher came up and was like what's up dude
00:43:06.320 like what's going on wagging his tail licking my face and i was just bawling and i was like
00:43:13.360 what the am i doing like i need to get my together and we got invited to this convention
00:43:19.600 this legion of valor oh that was god man it had like i don't know i don't know what you believe
00:43:25.040 we don't ever talk about that but that's divine intervention dude it it was something yeah yeah
00:43:31.280 i got you that means you that means you have a much much much bigger purpose here
00:43:38.560 we'll talk yeah we've been friends for a long time yeah you know what i'm saying
00:43:44.160 i'm glad that happened yeah i'm glad you're still here it was definitely i never heard that story
00:43:49.520 before just now and that's the thing is like i still feel so like weird i feel taboo about talking
00:43:55.120 about it because i feel i don't know like i'm sweating right now thinking about it because it's
00:44:01.040 like i don't want anybody to know that side of of me but it's like why why not like i think it's
00:44:07.040 important for people to hear that yeah it's like you need to understand that this can happen
00:44:13.440 and when it does happen like there's so many other people that have been there in your shoes
00:44:19.920 right now like all you got to do is reach out and there's going to be somebody right there either
00:44:25.280 at your fucking doorstep or talking to you all goddamn night long and like you just have to
00:44:29.040 fucking tell somebody and it's like that's kind of what i want to get across because it's like whenever
00:44:34.000 i i ended up going to this legion of valor convention a convention with all of these like
00:44:39.440 war heroes all medal of honor recipients navy cross like service cross recipients my goal was to be
00:44:45.120 like how the are you still alive i literally i've gone one year with having this award and i already
00:44:50.320 tried to kill myself like why are you still here how like how do you live with this and it's just like
00:44:57.120 it's just wild to see like that you just have to live you have to be present you have to love life
00:45:02.160 and like actually be willing to fucking fight for what you've fought for so long you fought for so
00:45:07.680 fucking hard for all of this shit and it's all fucking worth it and now it's like i'm about to
00:45:12.160 have a daughter and this is something to live for my wife is something to live for my life dude it's
00:45:19.120 a fucking gift like yeah that's why they call it the present it's because living in the present it's
00:45:24.400 a fucking gift so um yeah now i i feel like i do feel more obligated to talk about it just because
00:45:31.040 it's like somebody somewhere needs to needs to hear it yeah man because it's like i like i'm supposed
00:45:37.680 i'm what i thought is i'm supposed to be this hero with this big metal on my chest and i'm supposed to
00:45:43.280 be bigger and badder than everybody else but it hurts and even though we still hold this title and
00:45:49.680 we still have all of this like weight behind us it's like this can still hit us too
00:45:54.720 and you know doesn't matter who you are doesn't wait for anybody why do you think it got accelerated
00:46:00.960 after you were recognized for what you did or do you think that had anything to do with it
00:46:07.040 i don't i don't really know if that had much to do with it um i think it was all building up
00:46:14.320 and you know certain instances kept happening it was just like
00:46:21.040 i don't know it's just a lot to fucking handle um yeah and it's like i've been i've been through it
00:46:27.600 before like i've dealt with a lot of death like july 10th of 2017 we had a plane crash that killed
00:46:32.800 16 marines um seven of them were in my company one of them was one of my best friends i literally had
00:46:38.400 to go notify his wife that night i had to get dressed up in my uniform and go there and that was actually
00:46:43.600 my best friend talon leach um so i had to go tell his wife that he's never coming home and it's like
00:46:50.080 that only happens in movies i've never like i literally have watched movies of dudes going to knock on
00:46:55.520 doors in their fucking alpha service uniform and it's just like never in my life did i think that
00:47:01.680 was mean what did i do the week after that i went to the shoot house like we went right back to training
00:47:07.520 and it was like okay let's go to work like i we were just so good at compartmentalizing because we had
00:47:13.920 to like turn it back on like in an instant it's the same fucking thing in the real world it's like
00:47:19.280 well i got to go back to work like this person just passed away this this just happened to me i got
00:47:24.160 in a fucking crazy car accident but it's like all of these things in life they continue to build
00:47:29.520 and build and build but it's like if we just keep shoving it down and not doing anything about
00:47:33.920 it that's when it becomes such a detriment to your mental health and it's like you have to address
00:47:39.280 it you have to be willing to talk about it you have to be willing to sit with it and feel it and
00:47:42.640 like i mean since my last surgery in july of 2022 uh i stopped drinking so i've been sober for
00:47:50.560 a year and two months now that's awesome and it's been the best thing that's ever fucking happened
00:47:55.280 to me yeah because now i can literally sit there and feel my feel my feelings like feel my thoughts
00:48:00.720 and all of this shit and it's just like it's it's hard yeah but it's it's real it's me it's like this
00:48:05.920 is all me now yeah so yeah alcohol is a fucking killer bro it is i grew up just like you doing the
00:48:12.960 the the drinking and you know smoking weed and fucking running around getting fights and doing
00:48:17.920 all that shit and dude i spent a lot of years in the alcohol you know what i mean yeah like and
00:48:26.880 dude once i cut it out for the most part because i mean dude i might drink like twice a year now
00:48:32.080 it doesn't uh your life gets way better dude yeah it's way better especially if you're carrying a lot
00:48:38.080 of weight you know when i have people that come to me and they're struggling the first thing i tell
00:48:42.080 them i said bro stay away from alcohol and control what you can control those are the two things i
00:48:46.960 tell anybody when they come to me yeah fuck so so what what what is what is nick jones doing now
00:48:54.720 what's the you know where where are we at today yeah so currently um i'm the president and founder
00:49:03.280 of a non-profit called talons reach foundation um we support special operators who have been
00:49:10.080 morally mentally or physically wounded so it doesn't have to be related to combat doesn't
00:49:14.000 have to you don't have to have a purple heart you don't have to have a valor award
00:49:18.000 um it's some sort of moral mental or physical injury kind of just like what i just said we bring
00:49:26.080 guys out to montana we have a five day long systematic approach to healing um we do all sorts
00:49:32.160 of different holistic methods to healing so we we introduce them to yoga mindfulness meditation breath
00:49:38.720 work art therapy music therapy we get them outdoors we immerse them into nature we basically get them
00:49:45.520 to get their mind off of everything else that's going on in life but then we do the hard work which
00:49:51.280 is the education piece so we teach them about traumatic brain injury ptsd this other term called
00:49:57.600 operator syndrome which is basically like hyper vigilance anxiety depression anger all of this
00:50:05.600 crammed into one thing that creates like a dysfunctional well dysfunctional type of operator
00:50:11.200 um that is like most people either think that they are suffering from ptsd or tbi and now they've
00:50:18.640 basically joined those two and it's just like it might be this um so we teach about all of that stuff
00:50:23.680 and basically what happens to the brain when trauma strikes and ways to mitigate those um basically got on
00:50:31.120 this path because talk therapy going to the psychologist like sitting in a four wall white
00:50:37.440 room with one person that just like never understood would always fucking every time i came back it's
00:50:44.080 like so tell me about yourself it's like dude i just fucking told you my story a hundred times when
00:50:49.680 are we gonna move on from this and their candy's always that's the worst part about it like it's always
00:50:55.600 they always got bullshit candy like at least have the real shit yeah i'm a big i'm a dance i'm a i'm
00:51:01.280 not an advocate for that sort of therapy right i feel like and i've experienced plenty of it yeah uh
00:51:09.200 believe it or not yeah some of you motherfuckers think i still need it i probably do but the reality
00:51:15.360 is is uh you know i feel like most of the therapy out there has has become less about solving people's
00:51:22.480 problems and more about maintaining a customer base and that's what i noticed you know um
00:51:29.360 so i think it's cool that you're doing it this alternative way yeah thank you no it's awesome
00:51:33.840 it's been cool man uh we've ran three programs so far we've helped um 17 special operators we've got our
00:51:42.160 uh fourth one coming up so it's it's been amazing man the the outcomes that we've had like the success
00:51:50.160 stories that we've had and it's like we don't prescribe we don't treat we don't like we're not
00:51:55.600 fixing we're educating and we're kind of guiding them through showing them the tools giving them
00:52:00.640 the resources and like i mean man you'd be surprised like dudes that come there and they're like super
00:52:09.600 down sad like everything life is out to get me and then they come back and they they reach out and
00:52:14.400 they're like dude like i've never been happier like now they do art therapy or just do art they
00:52:20.320 found other ways to deal with this exactly and it's like dude like the only coping mechanism that
00:52:25.360 we really understand how to do is fucking drink and fight and yeah just like take this prescription
00:52:31.200 medication yeah like well that's bullshit yeah yeah so it's been amazing man um we've been a
00:52:38.000 non-profit now for two and a half years um and we just hired our first employee so it's been pretty
00:52:44.400 fucking cool uh yeah man we're growing we're we're i'm loving it and it's like kind of like what you said
00:52:52.240 like i needed to find my my purpose after lose what i thought like losing my identity losing my purpose and
00:53:01.440 it's just like when this shit happened it's like dude i i have found something that really drives me
00:53:07.840 and it's like i don't have to get paid to do what i love um and i don't get paid so it's amazing that i
00:53:16.320 can really share my story and let these dudes have this safe space become vulnerable and really
00:53:23.280 fucking heal and like actually work on themselves from the inside rather than like just telling dudes
00:53:28.480 like i used to be like all right dude like i'm sorry that happened to you but like try again next
00:53:33.200 time yeah do better fucking suck it up work harder like sometimes it's not the fix sometimes it's not
00:53:39.040 that easy so it's been it's been amazing um really looking forward to seeing how how it continues to grow
00:53:46.640 because we have like we have a pretty big vision and what's the big vision so eventually we want to
00:53:55.040 acquire our own land our own like facility out there in montana um we want to be able to run at
00:53:59.840 least one program a month right now we're about three programs a year so um funding personnel logistics
00:54:08.720 all that stuff kind of comes into play um but what we wanted to really do was like dial in a
00:54:15.920 quality program rather than like bump out like a bunch of like quantity and like like
00:54:20.880 let's help a bunch of dudes right off the bat it's like i want to help guys but i want to make
00:54:24.960 sure it's a quality program you want to make sure you actually help them yes because if you don't
00:54:29.840 and they come to the program and it doesn't help them they think they're unhelpful exactly right
00:54:34.560 yeah they'll start blaming themselves it makes it worse yeah so we want to be able to be able to do
00:54:40.800 all this in-house we want this facility we want to be able to have staff on hand do one program every
00:54:46.800 month and then eventually have some sort of like longer term treatment if you will um of like a
00:54:52.560 four to six week program so then guys that need extra help or maybe who are suffering from some sort
00:54:57.440 of substance abuse or just want to really immerse and like heal um we'll have that availability we'll
00:55:04.000 have like all sorts of like cold plunge hot tubs yeah um uh float tanks like all sorts of different
00:55:13.040 things so then it's just like the tools yeah exactly because you know you never know what's
00:55:18.160 going to help you never know what's going to stick and it's really hard for like a a special operator
00:55:22.880 who's got this ego to walk into some yoga studio or to some like meditation room and it's just like
00:55:30.080 all right like i'm here i'm like i'll just stop right now who's gonna with me right now who's gonna
00:55:35.920 laugh at me and i'm gonna fight so it's like we want to give them and have that fucking sanctuary
00:55:43.040 it's like you can still be this humble warrior who's still ready to fucking turn it on but who
00:55:49.600 also understands how to sit down calm down and like really like get deep and get within so um yeah we've
00:55:57.440 got we've got some big plans i mean might take a while but we'll get there i love this dude yeah i love
00:56:03.840 this like i'm so glad you came on the show dude yeah i'm so glad you're dude you're a
00:56:10.000 fucking real fucking man like that's real man shit like what you've done and what you're doing and how
00:56:15.440 you've overcome and what you're doing now to help people deal with that issues you know the issues
00:56:22.400 that you've experienced i mean bro that's that's what it's about bro thanks good work man i appreciate
00:56:28.320 that yeah how can people get involved with this program so we've got a website uh www.talonsreachfoundation.org
00:56:37.520 we've got social media instagram facebook and linkedin but on there we've got like volunteer
00:56:44.080 applications um my email is just nick at talonsreachfoundation.org how do you spell the website
00:56:50.000 talons so t-a-l-o-n-s reach r-e-a-c-h and then foundation you name that after your buddy
00:57:00.720 yeah yeah that's cool man yeah and so there's like several metaphors i guess because we call
00:57:05.920 all of our participants eagles that come through um and it's just like you know there's no better
00:57:12.640 reach than like the eagle itself like we have such a fucking powerful grip and like if you ever looked
00:57:19.680 up an eagle and their grip strength it's it's pretty fucking intense but it's like if you think
00:57:24.320 about it like i'm senior or junior man in the team it's like i have the power i have the reach to
00:57:31.360 either like fucking reach out and help somebody or reach down and pick somebody up and it's just like
00:57:36.000 i don't know like i come up with all of these different things to talk about it but it's like
00:57:42.240 i mean that means you're a natural born brander bro it's good stuff yeah yeah i'm trying i guess
00:57:48.240 yeah you're doing great but um yeah it's just you know i i even called talon's dad and i told him
00:57:54.880 about it and i was like look this is what i have i have this idea i was like there's by no means do i
00:58:00.000 want to benefit off of your son or use your son's name in these certain ways but like
00:58:06.240 this is what makes sense to me this is what we're trying to do and i think that this is how we can
00:58:10.320 help the most people and this is what i want to name it i want to name it talon's reach and he was
00:58:14.000 like fuck balling and so he's come to almost every like fundraiser that we've had and stuff he actually
00:58:19.360 lives in uh fulton missouri oh no shit right down the road okay so um yeah his name's tab he he's an
00:58:26.400 awesome awesome human that's awesome but uh yeah man it's it's cool i don't remember what i was just
00:58:33.200 talking about i kind of got off on a rant yeah i think we were just getting you know getting the
00:58:36.960 full story dude yeah i mean look man that's an incredible story i mean you guys who listen to

00:58:51.200 we talked a little bit about it but i mean that's an incredible story bro i love that how like in such a
00:58:58.160 short amount of time i think that's what people tend to uh underestimate is like knowing such a
00:59:03.120 short amount of time how much progress you can actually make you know and it's not like this was
00:59:08.400 a 10 10 year i mean dude this is recent yeah you know and i applaud you bro because i think that's
00:59:13.280 just awesome i think it's awesome i also think it serves as a real example of like what real trauma
00:59:19.040 yes and what these things like these terms are thrown around so often right you know oh my boss was
00:59:25.760 mean to me i'm traumatized i'm gonna go to my safe space holy shit man no like listen to what's

01:03:24.640 all these officers they're getting a lot of heat on it why people are furious andy uh people are
01:03:29.680 furious that pennsylvania police took a photo with the captured convict anello cavicante uh two people
01:03:35.200 posted on x formerly known as twitter pause why do they keep having to say that because it's not
01:03:40.640 sticking is that what like is that having to remind people or like what do you what do you do when you
01:03:45.760 post on on x what do you mean well like i post listen this is branding we talked about branding a
01:03:52.800 minute ago this is branding 101 okay you have twitter and you make a tweet all right a tweet is a verb
01:04:00.720 right all right action now you have x they didn't think this through i told you this when they did it
01:04:05.600 you have x now what do you do on x you make an x execute execute execute all right look hey see nick
01:04:14.000 i told you nick is natural born branding genius they need to sign me that's right god damn it
01:04:20.720 those guys are pretty fucking good
01:04:24.160 but yes they gotta come up with something that's that's the best one i've heard that's the best one
01:04:28.080 i've heard yeah that's pretty good uh but yeah so a couple people went to to to x uh saying this one
01:04:34.160 one person says quote a couple people executed yeah a couple people executed on twitter oh
01:04:38.800 shit they're gonna get shut it down
01:04:43.200 two people executed these motherfuckers are definitely turning us to yellow for no reason
01:04:47.920 again bro uh but some people saying that basically uh this person said uh cannot believe i have to
01:04:54.480 explain why this is inappropriate referring to the cops behavior following the inmates capture
01:04:59.520 another poster they call them like see it just doesn't make sense another exer uh said taking
01:05:05.360 a photo with the escapee was wild while another called it truly embarrassing now what's embarrassing
01:05:11.680 about that i don't yeah i don't get it i mean like here here's the thing i think there's a common thing
01:05:16.320 that we keep trying to make these criminals be these like you know oh they were on honor roll in
01:05:21.440 second grade and they you know they helped tie somebody's shoes when they were you know eight years old
01:05:26.240 i was like fuck that this dude is a convicted murderer right like i don't bro if they would have
01:05:32.000 held him upside down and took his lunch money i would have been okay with it you know that why do we
01:05:36.320 keep giving so much sympathy i would have been okay with it they shot him in the fucking head
01:05:40.640 like i would like you're a murderer yeah dude that's what i'm saying like dude we're talking about
01:05:46.240 yeah this this attitude around sympathy for violent criminals it's got to stop dude it has to stop
01:05:56.000 people don't understand because they have good hearts and they have good minds and they wouldn't
01:06:02.080 do bad stuff they assume that anybody who does bad stuff is some sort it was like an accident or it was
01:06:08.080 a mistake or it was something bro there are evil people out here that will just straight up kill you
01:06:14.160 and you guys like make excuses for them all day long and then until it hits you right like that uh
01:06:20.160 congresswoman in minnesota or where i think it was minnesota wasn't it where she she was talking
01:06:25.840 about you know sympathy for criminals and then she gets carjacked in her own driveway you know i
01:06:30.720 don't get it i don't understand i don't understand what these people are criminals like these are not
01:06:35.760 good people these are not people that have things like empathy and care and like do the right thing
01:06:41.440 ingrained like how hard is this to understand that there are people like this that exist that exists
01:06:46.880 like why are we advocating for people that are disrupting society and causing harm and and and
01:06:51.600 sympathizing for them and making excuses for them why are we doing this it's absurd shit i don't get
01:06:58.240 it i don't get it now here's one more interesting take on this thing right yeah and i saw this and i
01:07:04.160 had to go verify for myself okay um but if you go to uh pennsylvania department of corrections
01:07:12.240 okay uh they have this emma uh inmate or parolee locator right he searched this guy up um and i did i
01:07:20.880 pulled him up because i've been seeing this thing and and you know i've been seeing there's been this
01:07:24.880 increasing trend of how they label the ethnicity of people okay um so you know this is this is danilo
01:07:35.920 right that's him okay uh danilo cavacante okay yeah let's see what they labeled them in for the
01:07:47.600 inmate details race ethnicity white hmm nothing weird there now again guys check for yourself take
01:07:58.320 them a number go to that website we'll link it down below um but i think that there's a very sinister
01:08:03.840 thing and the only reason i bring this up because i feel it's important to call this stuff out
01:08:08.160 uh for what it is is bs and you know it's it's messed up what they're trying to do but they're
01:08:13.920 trying to paint the picture you know danilo sauza cavacante his hispanic male the label is white to
01:08:21.280 increase the white crime statistics on white crime that's right to justify taking guns and to justify
01:08:28.720 the narrative of white supremacy being the biggest domestic terrorism and also let's let's just stop
01:08:35.360 and be real honest about this what if this exact guy because let's be real bro like on the spectrum
01:08:41.520 like hispanics kind of in the middle of black and white all right let's be real like um what if they
01:08:48.560 took this guy what if they were taking all of these latin american or foreign non-white criminals and
01:08:57.120 they were labeling them black what if they were doing that what would the narrative be then
01:09:05.040 all right there's a racial double standard in this country that people refuse to acknowledge
01:09:10.000 even the statement of people of color is exclusive of white people only yeah it's it's made to say
01:09:18.480 everybody but white people and that's that that's a big problem and there is a problem in a very open
01:09:24.720 anti-white bias and there has been for a long time this isn't new this didn't just happen in 2020
01:09:32.800 this has been going on my entire life white people have never been able to say the things that other
01:09:38.160 races can say we can't say hey i'm proud to be white i'm not proud to be white because i don't give a
01:09:43.520 fuck about being white because and you know why i'm not why i don't give a fuck about being white
01:09:47.360 because i've never been allowed to give a fuck about being white okay so when we think about what's
01:09:52.880 actually going on and we think about the racism that's actually happening let's have an objective
01:09:58.800 look at what they're actually doing they're creating crime data that doesn't exist to push
01:10:04.960 a narrative that isn't true to get people to exclude this one particular race and if you were to say
01:10:11.440 people of color and it included white people but not latin american people or not mexican people
01:10:17.840 we would call that racism if if we said people of color and we just said well the color black isn't
01:10:23.760 a color the color black is the the one that we're not talking about that would be called racism
01:10:29.040 but because it's white people no one calls it racism and no one wants to stand up and say what
01:10:34.000 the fuck it is i'm not advocating for like i actually believe that nobody should really put
01:10:40.320 their identity in their race at all i never did i know you didn't like in high school and
01:10:44.480 shit like i just put human like legit like it's on all my tests all of that dude if race is your
01:10:49.760 identity you're not a very sophisticated human being you're a low iq person like if that you
01:10:54.160 were born that way you know i'm saying like there's nothing you didn't do anything yeah it's not like
01:10:58.800 you worked really hard it's like you know yeah yeah there's nothing to brag about about someone's race
01:11:04.160 and it's very easy for me to see that because i've never been able to brag about my race but if you
01:11:08.800 say that to a lot of black people you say that to a lot of hispanic people it doesn't make sense to
01:11:13.520 them because they've never dealt with that and that's a real thing about race that's going on
01:11:17.920 if we want to remove racism we have to remove all the racism yep and we have to get rid of all of it
01:11:23.360 like this is this is an this is a very nefarious example of what they do to push these racial division
01:11:31.520 agendas that are not good for anybody like dude this isn't good we're supposed to judge each other on the
01:11:38.000 content of our character we're supposed to say hey i don't care if you're black or you're white
01:11:42.800 or you're brown or you're yellow or you know you anything else we're supposed to say what kind of
01:11:47.920 person are you are you a good person are you not a good person are you uh do you contribute or you
01:11:54.080 do you hold a high moral standard do you try hard like do you treat people right do you lift people
01:11:59.680 up when they're down or do you are you a piece of like that's that's the america that i want to live in
01:12:06.720 that's the america that i know that's the america i grew up in up until you know the last 10 years
01:12:12.960 or so where it started to get weird but you know yeah i just thought i just thought it was it was
01:12:19.360 stupid but like i mean like it doesn't you don't it doesn't do it justice by seeing and not saying
01:12:24.720 something so say something you see something say something i call it out you know yeah brother like
01:12:28.960 look dude if we're ever going to solve this problem of division in this country we have to be honest
01:12:32.640 about where what it actually is and where it comes from you know it's not it's not white people
01:12:38.480 oppressing everybody bro if we actually look at what's going on white people aren't even allowed
01:12:43.040 to say they're like bro if you go to the adl website like if you go to the anti-defamation league
01:12:48.880 website where most of the narrative comes from around censorship around what's acceptable socially
01:12:55.600 okay if you go to the adl website a statement of hate is is that it's okay to be white that is
01:13:02.640 marked as a statement of hate how the fuck is that a statement of hate you see what i'm saying like
01:13:10.800 dude and this is why you're seeing all this backlash against the adl on twitter ban the adl is one of the
01:13:15.840 biggest hashtags for the last two weeks you have all the big names coming out and talking about it
01:13:20.320 because these people have manipulated social agendas to protect themselves and make everybody else's
01:13:27.840 life fucking chaos and i'm not talking about the jews i'm talking about the adl and the people that are
01:13:34.800 there running that whoever they are yeah like these are just this we have to stop generalizing people
01:13:41.360 as whole groups yeah like we can't look at one i don't know what this guy is mexican or
01:13:50.320 middle you know i don't know what he is latino descent latino okay we can't look at that and then
01:13:54.400 say all latinos are bad just like we can't look at a black person who does something bad and say all
01:13:59.840 black people are bad or a white person all white people are bad but somehow the adl has everybody
01:14:05.360 convinced that if one jewish person does something bad that that means that you're saying it against
01:14:10.080 all the jews and that's not what anybody's saying that's just their defense mechanism that's right
01:14:15.200 yeah very interesting guys jump in on this conversation let us know what you guys think
01:14:18.960 hashtag bad boys bad boys what you're gonna do let us know what you're gonna do bro i'll tell you who

01:15:19.760 shit in like does it actually work isn't there some cultures in the world that they use their hand

01:16:12.800 yt for b y yes hi andy stupid question uh but i have to know because it's driving me crazy
01:16:21.040 why is the water you're drinking different than the water you advertise i'm not trying to be a
01:16:27.440 douche but uh just seriously curious thank you for being you dude you rock i think they're talking
01:16:32.560 about the peasant water versus the fiji well that's why because that's just peasant water yeah
01:16:40.160 listen but every now listen bro this is just marketing i don't sell this shit we we take the
01:16:45.520 rappers and stick these on for the show you're welcome by the way because these guys in here
01:16:51.600 they do all this hard work to make these things look beautiful just for you that doesn't change
01:16:56.240 the fact that what's on the inside is all right so so this is no different than the race example that
01:17:02.480 we were talking about it all looks good on the outside yeah but we don't know what's on the inside
01:17:07.680 i happen to know because i drink this yeah and some days i got to be reminded that you know there
01:17:12.560 were days where i couldn't get that fiji water like today so i'm reminding myself today what it's
01:17:16.960 like you know what i'm saying yeah so do you have you have like are you like a like a filter purified
01:17:22.480 spring water guy and i am i'm a water snob now i drink some uh reverse osmosis at the house like
01:17:28.320 this definitely tastes like peasant water yeah you gotta get on i wasn't gonna say anything yeah
01:17:32.320 it's the truth you get this this shit we get this shit from costco we peel the labels off we put these
01:17:38.000 labels on like this is nothing more than to look cool for the show bro just keeping it real that's
01:17:42.960 it yeah hey bro we got to get all the atrazine out of the water with that stuff that's what i'm talking
01:17:46.720 about you can't afford to be growing a vagina right here you know what i'm saying i'll check every day
01:17:51.520 make sure i'm still good yeah but dude real talk like honestly like jokes aside all right
01:17:58.640 you might have a little bit of one
01:17:59.920 i know the day you discover you ain't coming in
01:18:07.840 look dude real talk here's why i do it jokes aside i really can't tell that big of a difference
01:18:13.920 all right but the truth is is that i know how many of those fiji waters i drink so it helps me track my
01:18:19.360 water yeah that's why i do it yeah that's fair that's the real answer it's two of those
01:18:24.000 things for that uh i forgot what it is but it's i can it's just like i know if i fucking drink a
01:18:29.760 full fiji during the show like i'm doing good on my water intake yep you know i'm saying it doesn't
01:18:35.280 make sense you know you could just calculate the bottles here whatever the shit's cold up there
01:18:40.960 it's not cold here it is what it is hey there's no there's look
01:18:45.840 hit me with some harder questions all right talk some shit like i i want to roast some of you
01:18:54.160 fuckers all right like oh we're gonna get it now all right and that's okay we all we talk
01:19:00.560 shit in good fun i know i know our people are good people but um yeah that's the real answer i love it

01:19:25.280 you guys come on and listen to us talk about real shit that's going on because it fucking matters
01:19:31.440 and there's a lot of people out there that would rather watch shorts of people eating boogers
01:19:35.120 and unboxing unboxing you know presents or just mindless bullshit and the fact that our audience
01:19:42.080 actually gives a fuck enough to consume our show multiple times a week at scale it means a lot
01:19:48.640 dude and it tells me a lot about who's out there listening like i it makes me proud that you guys
01:19:52.720 give a fuck yeah it's real so thank you guys yeah uh so let's get right back into it headline number
01:19:58.800 two and number two reads north korea's kim john un to stay in russia for several days he's like it's
01:20:06.560 nice here bro they're having a good time over there they are having all that vodka so so north
01:20:12.240 korea's leader kim jong un has unexpectedly extended his visit to russia where he was meeting president
01:20:19.280 vladimir putin for a suspected arms deal the pair had discussed possibilities for military cooperation
01:20:25.120 on wednesday mr putin also quote gratefully accepted an invitation for mr kim to visit north
01:20:31.520 korea a kremlin spokesperson said uh so a little exchange there that's cool uh moscow is buying
01:20:37.200 weapons uh for its war on ukraine and any help would violate u.n resolutions the u.s has warned
01:20:43.440 mr kim has uh was warmly received by mr putin at the uh vachkashkadi uh space center on wednesday
01:20:49.920 in russia's far east the north korean leader spent two days traveling there uh in his private luxury
01:20:55.280 bulletproof train now have you guys seen pictures of these trains this train does he not fly i mean
01:21:03.360 is he afraid they're gonna shoot him down he has a jet i mean he has a big like bow and business class
01:21:07.680 jet but um you know i don't know i don't think i would be able to do a train bro or at least this one
01:21:14.800 so so it's only it only can go 31 miles an hour because of how heavy it is
01:21:20.960 so like that's a pretty slow like trek man that's like i don't think i could do it taking in all the
01:21:27.760 views yeah i think it was like 800 miles or something from from north korea to to my wonder
01:21:32.720 what the purpose of that is what the of taking the jet i mean yeah like is that a security thing
01:21:38.560 yeah i mean maybe i don't know i don't know that would suck yeah i mean that that's a long
01:21:46.560 bumpy slow ride you know yeah i don't i don't i don't get it um but the talk of the town between
01:21:53.440 these two meetings outside of all the political things that i thought was was hilarious is that
01:21:58.480 um you know kim jong-un he's a car guy oh yes he is a car guy and so is putin really and so they're
01:22:05.920 going back and forth talking about their uh presidential limousines that's what the talk of
01:22:10.960 the whole town was and so uh this headline reads a bizarre moment kim jong-un tests out putin's
01:22:16.400 armored limo and sits inside it unlike when he visited trump and was only allowed to peek inside
01:22:22.240 the beast limousine uh so the this is the bizarre moment we got the videos the the vladimir putin
01:22:27.520 invites kim jong-un to sit with him in his armored limousine uh one-upping donald trump who only allowed
01:22:34.080 the north korean uh to peek inside his beast limo in 2018 uh putin and kim met yesterday at the north
01:22:40.000 korea russia summit to inspect the space launch facilities of the vachy cosmodrome in the russian
01:22:46.640 far east you know what that was about though right what's that dude trump had some unfinished
01:22:51.280 mcdonald's in there bro he didn't want he didn't want kim jong-un touching his chicken nuggets
01:22:58.480 he outboxed his own ride don't go too close nah bro he had he had 19 chicken nuggets he didn't
01:23:04.560 want kim jong-un touching him that's a fact so so here's the video from 2018 this is donald trump
01:23:11.600 and uh north korea leader kim jong-un here's the video
01:23:24.880 damn that thing's huge massive massive so he didn't let him in dude i didn't realize that
01:23:29.440 thing was that big it's massive because trump's a big dude bro big dude man yeah that is huge that's
01:23:35.440 like a that's like a suv limo that looks like a car yeah well here's putin's so putin has uh
01:23:42.000 aris sanat um and i think that's actually made by rolls royce i think is it looks like a rolls uh who
01:23:48.320 has like a drivetrain and all of that stuff yeah um so here's the video of those two i don't know
01:23:53.440 where the audio is we'll get it plugged in though not if any nice in here
01:24:02.320 i'll voice it over for you guys yeah so that's been the talk of the town um but here's the thing
01:24:07.680 there's been a new development in ukraine i thought we watch um i know i got the sound on this one for
01:24:12.640 sure um but ukraine's transgender spokesperson issues stark warning to russian propagandist
01:24:18.720 uh quote all will be hunted down and justice will be served so let's let's watch this video
01:24:25.200 have you seen this no like have you seen him at all no okay oh you've never seen the the
01:24:31.280 transgender spokesperson from ukraine oh okay here's the clip
01:24:38.480 shut the up dude bro russia hates the truth that their obsessive focus on a ukrainian volunteer
01:24:44.640 is simply allowing the light of the ukrainian nation's honesty to shine brightly next week
01:24:51.520 the teeth of the russian devils will gnash ever harder and their rabid mouths will foam in
01:24:56.880 uncontrollable frenzy as the world will see a favorite kremlin propagandist pay for their crimes and this
01:25:04.000 puppet of putin is only the first russia's war criminal propagandist will all be hunted down
01:25:10.800 and justice will be served as we in ukraine are led on this mission by faith in god liberty and complete
01:25:18.080 liberation
01:25:24.240 you're better looking
01:25:27.760 you're much better looking

01:25:49.680 bro what are we what is going on we somehow crossed into an alternate reality dude
01:25:59.280 that's who they got man that that's the so so apparently what they have a they have somebody
01:26:04.400 captured already a russian propagandist that they're going to execute is that what she said
01:26:08.000 that's what they're planning i haven't captured them just yet they're working on it though okay
01:26:11.200 that's what they're saying yeah just like they're winning the war huh just like that yeah yeah yeah
01:26:15.360 i don't know but i mean back to these beasts i just thought that was interesting but um yeah

01:30:46.400 right now this came out um the lawsuit was initiated on wednesday but what happened tuesday
01:30:56.400 oh they announced the impeachment inquiry for joe biden and then now he's coming out and again
01:31:02.320 trying to hit on somebody's uh on one of trump's team um but that's not just it right so there's a lot
01:31:09.760 of stuff going on um matt gates you know he throws you know uh the speaker of the house throws him
01:31:16.240 under the bus saying like hey either do this or you're out um you got all these articles being
01:31:22.320 written questioning whether joe biden is fit to run um and this is all liberal left media that's
01:31:28.000 throwing them under the bus right um and then it comes out we got some breaking news
01:31:33.040 you gotta do your thing oh it is are we doing it again i mean i mean i think it's fair
01:31:39.600 i forgot how it goes it's been so long
01:31:45.760 you got breaking news breaking news breaking news headline reads hunter biden indicted on federal
01:31:50.880 gun charges so this just comes out this just came out this is hot off the press uh while we're
01:31:56.000 recording um hunter biden just got indicted on those uh three felony uh gun charges so he gets
01:32:01.520 indicted on federal gun charges but none of the after taking millions of dollars for policy decisions
01:32:09.600 that are affecting the well-being of our country is this going to be what they use to just like
01:32:14.640 hopefully sweep all of this out of the rug hope everybody forget about it like don't pay attention
01:32:19.520 to all the millions of dollars of bribes over here we got him on the gun charges and he's facing like 25
01:32:24.880 years or something like that like i mean what's the angle here i don't know it feels like you know
01:32:31.040 the heat's been turned up so high on hunter biden and joe biden that they just want to hook him
01:32:35.760 into something so that people will be like all right we got him and then forget about the real
01:32:39.040 shit that's going on yeah that's how that's what it feels like you know you know these people these
01:32:43.680 judges and you know people think it's democrat republican these people are all playing together
01:32:47.680 man yeah so what they're doing is they're having a conversation on the back side saying hey
01:32:51.760 this is hot we have to do something we have to relieve some of this pressure and then they're
01:32:56.160 say okay well you know we can do the gun stuff right yeah that'll stick yeah and that way we
01:33:02.320 don't have to blow the whistle on all the stuff that all of us actually do and that doesn't come
01:33:08.640 out in the wash so we can just stick him with these gun charges he's gonna have to eat that but that way
01:33:13.040 we protect our our livelihood yeah you know and i'm not a lawyer right but like i was looking into some of
01:33:20.560 the like i looked into the lawsuit and all of that stuff and like dude all the hang up with all of
01:33:24.880 this stuff like he's suing um the guy uh who put all of this stuff out on marco polo right he uploaded
01:33:31.920 the entire uh contents of all of hunter biden's laptop was all uploaded and obviously censored out
01:33:39.760 some of the stuff right whether it was faces or you know credit card numbers well that's because there
01:33:44.240 were minors there were naked minors on the photos it's people don't really people don't realize
01:33:50.400 what's actually on that laptop it ain't just the gun charger no it ain't just that no and it's not
01:33:55.520 just some crazy pictures of hunter biden smoking crack like there's way more on there that people
01:34:01.920 aren't even talking about that hasn't been covered by the media right so it's like they're showing a
01:34:07.040 little bit but they don't want to show the whole thing yeah well i mean here's the thing the pandora's
01:34:12.800 box is open at this point um you know but you know looking all into this stuff and like you know
01:34:19.040 what they're arguing it's like you know people gotta remember how he got here he dropped the
01:34:23.840 laptop off to be serviced at mac uh the mac store right and he left it there he didn't pay for a
01:34:32.000 service it was unpaid and he left it there right the owner contacted him multiple times over the
01:34:40.000 course of 90 days right to hey come get your laptop more importantly pay me for my services and hunter
01:34:46.320 biden never did now he signed a document that was an agreement between the laptop store and hunter
01:34:52.320 biden saying that hey any property left after 90 days unpaid becomes my property so he's like hunter
01:35:00.320 biden is now suing all these people saying they used his information like no that's no longer yours
01:35:05.440 you've abandoned it it's gone right which which is another reason why none of this stuff is really
01:35:11.440 sticking in court um but these gun charges that are coming up they're saying that uh the trials
01:35:16.400 and all that stuff probably won't get going until uh right in the heat of the election cycle um so
01:35:21.840 that'll be very very interesting to see how that plays out i think they're gonna drop biden before before
01:35:26.320 then it feels that way you know it feels like the whole left media is starting to turn on joe biden um
01:35:34.640 um you know i've said this on the show many many times we have to understand what joe biden's role
01:35:41.760 has been his role was not to come in and lead the country to a great place and you know unite the
01:35:47.680 country which is what he can campaign on it's not bidenomics it's not any of this shit here's what his
01:35:54.320 role was his role was to come in do all the terrible shit that needed to be done to destroy this country
01:36:02.640 open the borders keep them open shut down the oil production shut down uh fuel uh independence
01:36:09.200 uh allow the crime in the in the big cities to go crazy to do all these things right send all of
01:36:15.040 our taxpayers money to ukraine because had we had someone who was competent or had we had someone who
01:36:21.680 appeared to be competent the things that joe biden has done would have been revolted against and the
01:36:27.680 only grace that he's being given right now is that he's old and senile and potentially just stupid
01:36:34.240 when in reality he's not stupid at all he's running the play as he's having the play dictated to him to
01:36:40.480 run because we all know he's not running shit this guy's not sitting in the back making decisions
01:36:45.200 there's nothing going on with this guy this guy is a scapegoat he's a pawn to serve a purpose to get as
01:36:51.120 much damage as possible so that there wouldn't be a revolt because people will say well he's just stupid
01:36:56.160 he's just old he's just senile you know we got to get him out of here because he he's so he you know
01:37:02.160 shits his pants or whatever embarrassing stuff this guy has done and if we had a competent person in
01:37:08.320 here doing making these decisions it would be very clear to everybody that the person who was competent
01:37:13.280 making these decisions was actually acting against the interests of our country as a whole so yeah so
01:37:19.440 like this is he's played his role like he's done all the bad shit he's done all made all the decisions
01:37:24.640 that need to be made to to destroy and demoralize and start to destabilize this country from a
01:37:30.480 communist standpoint which then he's tight well how you know joe biden's a comment well he's taken
01:37:35.840 millions and millions and millions of dollars allegedly from china from our biggest fucking enemy so what are
01:37:42.560 we talking about here this is we are occupied we've been occupied he's not compromised he's a
01:37:47.680 fucking traitor that's real shit it's real shit nick i want i want to get you your your take on this
01:37:53.040 man you know as a veteran right uh you took an oath to defend this country right against all enemies
01:37:59.840 foreign and domestic what is your view on from you know how long has it been since you've been uh
01:38:07.520 or since you went in what you know 15 years now uh 2010 is when i went in okay so 13 years yeah um
01:38:14.720 um what how what what was your perception then of the state of the union while you were going in
01:38:20.720 what you were fighting for compared to what you see now where what what's the difference where are
01:38:25.520 you where were you at then where where are you at now when i joined man i wasn't really in for the
01:38:31.840 the politics i wasn't really in for that it was like fighting for the dudes that the people that i loved
01:38:37.360 um so i mean i guess as a guy on the ground sometimes it's more so about the fight it's more
01:38:44.720 about like the dudes to the left and your right and then once you start moving up in the ranks it's
01:38:49.680 like oh wow like politics like the the big guys and in the big house have a lot to say with what we do
01:38:55.760 uh because when you're overseas and you're targeting bad guys you're actually doing the job
01:39:02.480 in different countries you have to have different levels of approval to go do offensive operations
01:39:09.360 and there are several levels of approval that go straight up to the big dogs at the white house and
01:39:17.200 there are certain instances where there's like obvious bad going on and you're like i need to go
01:39:23.520 take care of this and they turn you down and it's like we're just letting terrorists walk around on
01:39:29.200 the streets over there as well as here in the states and it's it's bleeding over and it it shows
01:39:36.800 man and it's like i mean i joined under the obama administration and then in um 2016 trump was elected
01:39:45.920 and it was actually pretty wild because like our pay increased our equipment got better we actually got
01:39:51.920 like my whole team finally got outfitted with certain gear that we had been missing forever and then
01:39:59.200 2020 happens and it's like where did the missions go where are we what are we doing now like what the
01:40:04.400 is happening um and once i got removed from that it's like now i i still continue to see like
01:40:13.600 it's like a downfall in in special operations like they're still doing work but it's it's kind of sad
01:40:19.360 to see like the levels of approval that have to happen to just kill one bad guy that's doing an obviously
01:40:26.240 bad thing um so i never reached like a very like high level in the staff positions to get
01:40:34.160 involved into politics but it was um i mean you could definitely see it when we're out there trying
01:40:40.000 to fight and it's like what do you mean i have to get a general level of approval to drop a bomb on
01:40:46.480 this guy for doing something bad or i have to let him go right yeah it's like who else is he gonna like
01:40:55.520 how many other levels like it's everything has a second and third order effect and it's like i learned
01:41:01.040 about that at a young age and it's just like you do one thing that could literally trickle and cause so
01:41:07.680 many different waves and it's like you let one bomb maker go and now it's like now you're killing
01:41:14.000 several other americans or you're fucking like now this dude is going to train somebody who's going
01:41:19.120 to go into the united states and do something fucking bad there and it's just like i don't know
01:41:23.680 man like it's hard um to really understand like what you're fighting for at times because it's like
01:41:32.320 you want to say that it's it's for the dude to the left and your right and then it's like you're
01:41:36.080 over there fighting and then you get called to either do something fucking weird or go watch something
01:41:42.560 specific and it's like i don't know um sometimes it's a lot to dissect yeah yeah yeah i think a
01:41:50.880 lot of guys feel that way bro a lot of guys who have served over the last you know 20 years 23 years
01:41:57.840 say the same thing man even even more you know like a lot of these guys was talking to greg anderson
01:42:03.360 a lot of these guys feel like they served for the actual bad guys and like that would be a that's
01:42:12.160 that's a hard thing i think for a lot of people to deal with you know um i see i hear it all the time
01:42:19.280 though i mean like either openly like greg will post about it openly that's why i don't mind saying it
01:42:24.400 but you know a lot of guys will say it privately yeah that's real shit man it's just it's it's
01:42:32.000 sad to see that like i don't feel like this is the same america that you know those guys have fought
01:42:37.120 for 20 years ago well i i think it's a i think it's a i think an important question for us to actually
01:42:42.480 ask is did that other america ever actually exist was that even real well that's what i'm saying
01:42:47.680 because the only reason that we know what's actually going on now is because of the internet so
01:42:51.680 how much easier would it have been to hide the actual narratives when the internet didn't exist
01:42:56.240 and just convince everybody here that everything we did was noble and just and right when in reality
01:43:02.240 we don't know if that's the case or not yeah that's real shit man that's real all right well i mean we'll
01:43:08.800 we'll stay updated i mean like i said this this uh hunter biden indictment just came down we'll see
01:43:14.320 what happens with that um but uh guys jumping on this conversation let us know what you think
01:43:19.760 uh hashtag don't drop the soap that's what we're hoping for so let's uh let's let's keep going man
