The Great America Show - A WARRIOR SPEAKS ON SNOWFLAKES TOO EASILY OFFENDED AND A WH THAT MAKES NO SENSE

00:00:00.160 Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Great America Show.

00:00:03.660 Thanks for being with us today.

00:00:05.760 I want to turn to, well, it's an issue that has got me, frankly, quite agitated.

00:00:12.800 I want to turn to the escalating Marxist demonstrosity known as the January 6th Committee.

00:00:20.080 Even as we learn more by the week about the insidiousness of the Democratic Party and

00:00:26.000 their oligarch donors, more is asked of us.

00:00:30.480 Why are we asked by the corrupt corporatist media to tolerate another of their partisan

00:00:36.540 persecutions, bedecked in pretend seriousness, laughable lofty purpose, and, of course, their

00:00:43.900 nonsensical claims of insurrection on Capitol Hill?

00:00:49.680 Jamie Raskin is a leading mess, a Marxist dem whose radical ideology is deep within his DNA,

00:00:58.320 a creature of the left, and who, for his most recent nonsensical interview, chose the Marxist

00:01:06.120 left's much-favored Reuters foreign wire service, our taxpayer-funded exquisitely elitist leftist

00:01:14.020 national public radio, and the foreign bastion of international leftist ideologies of all sorts,

00:01:21.300 the Guardian.

00:01:23.520 Now comes Rifkin with an entirely old and still-fabricated and bald-faced lie list of charges against

00:01:31.560 President Donald Trump, suitable for the Maryland congressman who led the failed second impeachment

00:01:38.240 of President Trump.

00:01:39.400 For the record, the second failed impeachment of the President, it's simply outrageous.

00:01:46.840 You're right, you heard me right, this is the same creepy creature regurgitating his charge of

00:01:53.360 usurpation against Trump from only a year ago. 0.97

00:01:58.140 The Marxist left is venal, without conscience, and determined to destroy America, of course,

00:02:04.400 to rip up our Constitution and shred our history and heritage, roots and all. 0.87

00:02:10.180 Call your congressman and tell him or her what you think of this Marxist-dim, perpetual persecution

00:02:16.820 of Donald Trump.

00:02:18.600 By the way, the number of the U.S. Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121.

00:02:26.560 Again, the Capitol switchboard, 202-224-3121.

00:02:35.120 The conspiracy the Marxist-dim started, while Trump was still a candidate in 2016, was carried

00:02:41.940 out through his presidency as they and the deep state tried to overthrow him.

00:02:45.900 With groundless FBI investigations for years, an almost two-year-long special counsel investigation,

00:02:52.420 two impeachments by the noxious and soulless Democrat Party from before Trump was president

00:02:59.580 through his presidency.

00:03:00.700 And after he was president, the Dems carried out their campaign of hate and evil conspiracy

00:03:06.540 trying to destroy an American president.

00:03:09.860 And the effort goes on, and it does have to stop now.

00:03:13.820 Every corporatist news media outlet that covers up the conspiracy deserves whatever place in

00:03:20.380 hell that awaits them.

00:03:22.100 God bless Donald Trump, and God save the United States. 0.96

00:03:26.620 As you can tell, I don't believe there's any excuse any longer for the lizards of the left. 0.80

00:03:32.140 They are denizens of darkness, and their very act is evil.

00:03:35.820 So it is time to say, enough.

00:03:39.040 Either we stand against them now, or the republic surely fails.

00:03:43.640 And an update on the war against evil.

00:03:46.580 Special counsel John Durham is standing against the Marxist Dems and their evil acts, thank God.

00:03:53.520 Durham letting the American public know that five, five Hillary Clinton associates are taking

00:04:00.220 the fifth in reaction to his investigation of the origins of the Russian collusion hoax,

00:04:05.820 perpetrated by the Democrat National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign.

00:04:12.440 End the evil, all of us, all together.

00:04:15.760 End the evil that's been unleashed against our great nation from within.

00:04:21.480 Here today, we'll be talking with a man who spent his life fighting the forces of evil,

00:04:26.660 arrayed against our nation all over the world.

00:04:30.280 Today, our guest is truly a great American hero, Robert J. O'Neill,

00:04:34.140 highly decorated Navy SEAL.

00:04:36.560 He is the man who shot Osama bin Laden, a terrific author, speaker, and I think one of the best 0.99

00:04:43.380 folks on Twitter.

00:04:44.520 His handle is M-C-H-O-O-Y-A-H.

00:04:51.040 M-C-H-O-O-Y-A-H.com. 0.98

00:04:54.980 Or just search for Robert J. O'Neill on Twitter.

00:04:57.760 I guarantee you, you'll be glad you did.

00:05:01.580 His newest book is The Way Forward, written with his friend and Medal of Honor winner,

00:05:05.820 Dakota Meyer.

00:05:06.840 We recommend all of O'Neill's books to you, including The Way Forward, now available everywhere.

00:05:14.100 Rob, it is great to have you back with us on the Great America Show, a show designed just for you.

00:05:21.520 Appreciate you being with us.

00:05:23.180 Thank you for having me, Lou.

00:05:23.760 It's always great to be on here.

00:05:24.680 I'm going to turn, first of all, to your Twitter account, if I may, because I think people will

00:05:30.500 be fascinated.

00:05:31.400 People who do not follow you on Twitter are missing some of the best entertainment and,

00:05:37.240 I think, thought-provoking commentary in the country.

00:05:42.080 So, where I'd like to start is with, first of all, your handle is M-C-H-O-O-Y-A at Twitter.

00:05:56.940 It's a terrific handle and a terrific amount of fun waiting for you folks as you sign up for

00:06:05.020 Rob O'Neill's Twitter account.

00:06:07.100 I just want to share, if I may, a few comments, a few tweets that you've made.

00:06:14.940 And first of all, there's a picture of a bird.

00:06:17.980 This is a retweet of a dead eagle in front of this wind farm with the windmills all in the background.

00:06:30.000 And it says, this bird was, if this bird was covered in oil, this picture would be everywhere.

00:06:40.120 And then you recommended that teaching your boys, you should teach your boys to be men before teachers teach them to become women.

00:06:54.580 I think you got into the culture wars.

00:06:59.740 Give us your thinking on the trans, what I call the trans trend in this country.

00:07:04.760 It's all but inexplicable to me.

00:07:07.720 Well, yeah, my point was M-C-H-O-O-Y-A-H. 1.00

00:07:12.760 I combined the two, being of Irish descent, and we said hoo-yah at SEAL training.

00:07:16.760 I made it back when I was anonymous, so I figured I could be M-C-H-O-Y-A. 0.98

00:07:19.400 My name leaked as Killing Bin Laden, so I ended up with 10,000 followers overnight.

00:07:24.200 Now I'm just M-C-H-O-Y-A.

00:07:25.060 That's where that came from.

00:07:26.900 The thing with the, you know, I'm a big believer that you should be able to do anything you want in the privacy of your own home and with your family.

00:07:35.900 When you really start to exploit other people is when it's a problem.

00:07:39.860 There's a Vietnam vet named Bob Green who was a football coach at Montana Tech.

00:07:43.940 And he said, he's known for his folks, if you ever look him up, there's some YouTube stuff on him.

00:07:48.660 But he said, whatever you do behind closed doors, keep it in your jammies.

00:07:52.280 And I think what the problem here is, I don't know what the left deal is with trying to sexualize kids at such a young age.

00:07:58.300 I mean, you know, I saw someone tweet out that it was a girl that said, I want to thank my parents for letting me go through my tomboy phase as a young girl before mutilating me.

00:08:08.320 Like they gave her a chance.

00:08:09.700 And I don't know why they're just obsessed with talking the teachers that say, well, and first of all, when they say in Florida, the don't say gay bill, that's not at all what it is.

00:08:18.360 They're just saying they want to stop teaching kids at that young, you know, third grade and down about sex.

00:08:22.940 And these teachers are complaining, well, I can't even tell them what we did over the summer with my with my with my partner or whatever.

00:08:28.940 It's like there's no reason for you to be telling them about that.

00:08:31.720 We have a problem with people being able to read.

00:08:35.160 We have we're in a culture where a lot of people are saying that math is racist.

00:08:38.700 They don't take SAT scores, all stuff like that.

00:08:41.380 It's like just teach them the basics.

00:08:42.720 I mean, I always say that everything from normal life, even to SEAL training, if you want to be great, master the basics.

00:08:48.480 If you can get the basics down, your next goal is your next breath.

00:08:51.320 And and I, you know, I have friends that are transgender.

00:08:53.860 I have friends who are gay.

00:08:54.700 I have friends who are lesbians. 1.00

00:08:55.680 And it's like as long as you're not taking the scholarship as a like a biological male swimming away from an actual girl who's been working her whole life, do what you want to do.

00:09:04.200 But we start affecting people like this and start just trying to teach a lot of the stuff I think is just made up.

00:09:09.500 And I think some on the left take it to an extent because it knows they know that it pisses off conservatives.

00:09:15.500 And, you know, I watch, you know, I follow a lot of different people and there's some of them that make me laugh because I know these people are just they're poking from their side.

00:09:22.020 But when you're talking about something as serious as as children growing up in their family life, there's I admire right now driving down the street and watching someone on working on the electric poles or building a roof mechanics and plumbers like skills that you're going to need growing up.

00:09:42.020 The people just for some reason are getting away from it because of someone's feelings that might not be true.

00:09:45.800 It's sort of a peculiar moment in our history where suddenly the Bill of Rights extends to not not being offended.

00:09:55.360 Who the hell has a right not to be offended?

00:09:58.000 It's not someone else's problem.

00:09:59.800 It's yours.

00:10:00.720 Yes.

00:10:01.080 You know, the old saying, don't talk religion and politics.

00:10:03.160 Well, I'll talk about what I want.

00:10:05.120 You listen to what you want.

00:10:07.020 And that's the way it's got to be in this country.

00:10:09.220 And it's it's upside down right now.

00:10:11.320 It's completely out.

00:10:12.400 It is completely.

00:10:13.000 And the freedom of speech is not protecting speech that makes you comfortable.

00:10:17.560 It's there to protect speech that makes you uncomfortable.

00:10:19.780 And that's how you have a debate.

00:10:20.960 And, you know, I personally don't want to be in a room with people who all agree with what I'm saying.

00:10:24.740 I want disagreement.

00:10:25.700 I learned from failure.

00:10:26.940 And if you follow my Twitter, you'll see me fail from time to time.

00:10:29.500 The next day I pipe out my own advice, telling myself to move forward, get over it.

00:10:34.140 I want to go to the to your next week.

00:10:36.160 By the way, folks, just so you know, I didn't go out cherry picking.

00:10:38.880 This is the top of his news line.

00:10:41.640 This is the top of his account today in this order.

00:10:46.320 There's been the Biden crime family, the Bush crime family, the Clinton crime family, the Obama crime family.

00:10:53.940 And you hate Trump for telling the truth.

00:10:57.440 I love that.

00:10:58.720 Well, I mean, the reason that they the they being the left and a lot of people even in the middle don't like Donald Trump is because sometimes he's not a nice guy, but he everything that he did was for Americans.

00:11:10.480 And he's he's he's doing the hard things, making the hard regulations.

00:11:13.380 And I mean, he's a he's not a greasy, slick politician in a in a, you know, in a beltway.

00:11:20.860 He's a businessman that was doing stuff for America.

00:11:23.040 And I don't like that.

00:11:23.740 And we learned out that I mean, I'm actually reading laptop from hell right now.

00:11:27.100 And I'm amazed what what Hunter Biden got away with because of his dad, the big guy and just the stuff you can see the stuff they deal with China, with Ukraine, with Russia and just and everyone's getting paid all this money to be an advisor on a legal board where they're not even lawyers.

00:11:43.480 And it's all the Biden family, stuff like that.

00:11:45.160 And, you know, I say the Bush family, because I'm convinced we went to war because Saddam Hussein tried to kill President Bush 41.

00:11:52.900 And so right after 9-11, there's an excuse.

00:11:54.880 Two weeks after 9-11, the Pentagon's running around through the long corridors, coming up with reasons to invade Iraq.

00:11:59.920 And a lot of people died.

00:12:01.260 And even right now with I'm going to Iraq veteran, too.

00:12:04.140 I find combat there, too.

00:12:05.220 We'll sit around over a barrier.

00:12:06.520 Just be like, so Iraq, huh? 0.95

00:12:07.960 What was that all about?

00:12:09.220 And then just the stuff that we know, the Clintons that, you know, I was in the I was in.

00:12:12.700 You know, I fought in all the wars.

00:12:14.780 And I'm, you know, some of the Clintons probably have more kills than I do, just based on the way that they're acting out there.

00:12:20.780 And it's like, how does someone die of a suicide from two shots to the back of the head?

00:12:24.940 Like, there's just there's there's there's absolute corruption, especially here.

00:12:28.400 I think it's getting worse.

00:12:30.080 And then you get someone that comes in who's an outsider.

00:12:32.140 And boy, they turn everything and everything, everything from the Russian collusion to Russia, Russia, Russia.

00:12:37.340 It's all it's like admit nothing, deny everything and make counter accusations.

00:12:41.420 And then they've got the media force feeding everybody this.

00:12:43.940 And there are people who just believe what the media tells them, which is lunacy.

00:12:47.360 But that's that's where we live.

00:12:49.120 And, you know, you're so right about the your obvious disdain or disregard, if you prefer.

00:12:56.840 For some of these folks who are out not paying their student loans, wanting to have extensions, do not do not go to school on a student loan.

00:13:08.540 These community colleges are the best bargain in the country.

00:13:12.180 Oh, yeah.

00:13:13.200 First two years of school.

00:13:14.640 I don't care who you are, how smart you are or how much you don't even like school.

00:13:20.400 Go to community college and give yourself a chance to grow up for a couple of years and to do so without being in debt for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

00:13:31.680 You know, what's the sense of this?

00:13:34.600 Why not go out and buy a Ferrari? 1.00

00:13:36.560 I mean, it's just that stupid to me. 0.99

00:13:38.200 And working men and women in this country, I come from a poor working class background. 0.99

00:13:46.500 I just can't imagine putting my my parents in the position of having to pay tens or fifty thousands of dollars, whatever it would be, to to go to school.

00:13:59.240 And I don't want to put it on myself because you already put yourself behind the eight ball the second you do it.

00:14:04.520 So I urge everybody to do that.

00:14:06.240 And I'm glad you talk about it, because this student loan thing is nuts.

00:14:12.600 Oh, yeah.

00:14:13.160 And loans are no one forces you to take out a loan.

00:14:15.900 And the universities who are so high and mighty about the, you know, superior education, they don't mind taking the money with a horrible rate just to let people in.

00:14:24.940 So they can keep, you know, and they're all on tenure, so they don't care.

00:14:27.540 It's just the whole thing to it.

00:14:29.100 I mean, I know guys that managed to go to Navy SEALs that went to school, like one from Purdue, worked the entire time he was going to school, put himself through, got his degree.

00:14:38.020 Then he went to SEAL training, paid him, paid him all off.

00:14:39.920 You can do it, but you have to work.

00:14:41.300 And that means, you know, you got to put down the headset and the remote control and stop gaming and worry more about your your personal success as opposed to activism.

00:14:51.740 There are people who only take a certain amount of credits because they need time for activism, whatever that means.

00:14:57.080 Exactly.

00:14:58.640 Antifa, you tweet, is fascist. 1.00

00:15:01.680 Your professors didn't tell you that you're a moron because he's a moron. 1.00

00:15:07.480 That's why you morons can't pay off your student loans, says Rob O'Neill. 1.00

00:15:12.940 It's entertaining. 1.00

00:15:13.920 It's with humor and and it's in your face.

00:15:17.640 I hope so.

00:15:18.240 And I'm what I the point I make about tenure and professors and I know I know a lot of professors, you know, they're mostly good people.

00:15:25.900 But if you learned philosophy from a guy in a room who learned from a guy in a room about philosophy from a guy in a room, but they've never really been outside.

00:15:34.980 You know, what's what's really like they talk about poverty here in the United States.

00:15:39.320 They've never seen a kid in Afghanistan so poor that they're literally standing without clothes on in a cesspool. 1.00

00:15:43.920 I've seen that.

00:15:44.960 And there's real there's real.

00:15:46.240 Most I mean, you're not if you if you're talking about how bad capitalism is and you're tweeting about it on your iPhone as you sip a Starbucks wearing your Air Jordans.

00:15:54.960 I don't think you've thought it out.

00:15:57.900 Yeah.

00:15:58.140 Well, and most of these most of these young people have it.

00:16:01.180 And particularly on the left, they are engaged in some sort of mass psychosis.

00:16:07.860 I cannot figure it out.

00:16:09.460 I don't pretend to have figured it out.

00:16:11.740 But what worries me is that seemingly no professional psychiatrist or psychologist has either.

00:16:19.500 And they don't.

00:16:20.680 The only reason I can imagine they're not figuring it out is they don't want to know the answer.

00:16:25.160 That's probably it.

00:16:26.140 So the truth, the truth really hurts.

00:16:27.360 And the truth, the truth is offensive.

00:16:29.020 It's the fantasy that gets them through living on emotion.

00:16:31.520 It's like, well, why don't we just have electric cars?

00:16:33.540 Why don't we just have it's like, well, why don't we just ride unicorns?

00:16:36.240 How about that?

00:16:36.640 Doesn't that sound awesome?

00:16:38.080 But you see what happens when you start taking away the gas and the and the.

00:16:41.340 Being independent and exporting, you know, we really need those things.

00:16:46.500 It would be wonderful if we could just fly somewhere without using gas, but it's not going away.

00:16:49.920 And how big is the diesel generator powering your electric carport?

00:16:53.580 Come on, think about it.

00:16:54.400 The power is coming from somewhere.

00:16:55.420 It's usually coal, natural gas.

00:16:57.320 And I love this one, too.

00:16:59.080 And folks, listen to this one.

00:17:00.840 Rob's tweets.

00:17:02.220 If you're hurt by words, you've probably never been punched in the face.

00:17:07.660 And apologies to the to the women in the audience.

00:17:13.000 But most guys know what Rob's talking about here because they've been punched.

00:17:18.560 I don't know if it's most, but I would assume a lot of us have been punched in the face.

00:17:24.240 Yeah.

00:17:24.540 Yeah.

00:17:24.760 It's one of those things.

00:17:26.160 I mean, growing up, you get in fistfights as kids and you drink from the garden hose.

00:17:32.060 But you learn like there's a big difference.

00:17:33.720 But like right now, we're at a point where you can say anything you want to anyone and there's no consequences.

00:17:37.460 But Mike Tyson said that stuff, too.

00:17:39.160 He said everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face.

00:17:41.640 And that's just one of the key.

00:17:42.340 And that's I mean, you know, you can you can earn respect and you can show respect.

00:17:46.620 But some of these snowflakes out there that just demand everything because they're entitled.

00:17:50.820 There's another thing coming.

00:17:52.160 So having said that, though, again, I travel quite a bit.

00:17:54.820 I was on a two week road trip and I I talked to thousands of people face to face.

00:17:58.640 And most I mean, most people are good.

00:18:00.300 Most people are normal.

00:18:01.180 And they're like, what in the world is happening?

00:18:02.920 And I think it's a very, very small percentage of very, very loud people.

00:18:07.460 Yeah, I I think it's unfortunately, I think it's probably smaller.

00:18:13.520 It's probably larger than that, because we now have a situation.

00:18:18.380 I think we have to look at this absolutely honestly.

00:18:21.180 And that is this government of ours is infested with left wingers.

00:18:28.640 The so-called deep state is a left wing operation all the way there.

00:18:32.460 They're not having little club meetings and debating over at the Department of Defense or the Department of State about which is it is correct on this issue or this this threat.

00:18:46.560 This is a leftist embedded bureaucracy throughout our executive branch, in my opinion, 100 percent.

00:18:56.440 It's the same is true of academia, Rob.

00:18:59.400 Find me a find me a conservative professor.

00:19:02.360 I've talked to too many professors who are scared to death to say what they're actually thinking in New Haven or Cambridge, you name it, because they know the orthodoxy is left wing and they will pay a penalty of some sort.

00:19:18.420 There will be consequences for speaking your mind and speaking truth, or at least your truth.

00:19:25.220 It's a shame.

00:19:26.040 Yeah, that's true, too.

00:19:27.300 That's that's a lot of true with with I mean, there's people in the media that I know that I'm sure, you know, that I know are smart, very smart.

00:19:33.760 Yet they push this agenda that they they know is false because they're getting something on the back end.

00:19:38.760 There are people that I know that there's like I almost want to say there's no way you really believe this.

00:19:43.300 Right. And on camera and on camera or two or on and off camera, two different things.

00:19:47.400 Academia, I don't know, because there's not a lot of experience there.

00:19:49.600 But even in Hollywood, I know I know people in Hollywood that can't say a word about being there's a lot more conservatives than you would think.

00:19:57.420 You say a word, though, and you're out. You're out of the club.

00:19:59.660 And and what it comes down to is, will I lose my power?

00:20:02.400 How can I retain my power?

00:20:04.160 And there's a lot of that that goes on behind the scenes.

00:20:06.060 But that was all part of the Communist Manifesto.

00:20:07.880 You know, they take over that academia, Hollywood and the media.

00:20:12.380 They're going to be fine. And, you know, everyone's making money somewhere.

00:20:14.880 And politicians right now, it's like they're like the only person, the only president to not start a war was Donald Trump.

00:20:21.560 And I think a lot of that reason is, I mean, if you're a congressman, you're basically doing a little work for three months and you're you're running your campaigning.

00:20:28.340 And it's a lot of these big time government contractors pay a lot of their campaign funds.

00:20:32.580 So we need to make more missiles and we need to use them so we can make more missiles.

00:20:35.600 And there's a lot of that. They just for some reason, people that don't go to war, love sending people to war, love to make more stuff.

00:20:41.600 And then even it becomes political at a certain level. As soon as I get out of the military, am I going to go to work at the Department of State or am I going to work for, you know, Lockheed Martin or Boeing?

00:20:50.560 And it's it's it's it's it's personal power politics. And America itself takes a backseat to all this stuff.

00:20:56.660 They really don't care about the greater good. If they really did, they wouldn't do stuff like shut down Keystone Pipeline.

00:21:01.120 We could be exploring and more. I mean, there's we have more than anybody.

00:21:04.260 But because I mean, if the ice caps are melting at such a drastic rate, why is every rich former politician buying beachfront property?

00:21:14.360 That's a great point. And look at what we're doing here.

00:21:19.100 I mean, Tony Dungy, a terrific coach, comes out to defend the fatherhood bill.

00:21:26.000 He's down in Florida and the BLM goes, you know, nuts and everyone else attacking him for being discriminatory because he actually believes that we should pay attention to the statistics.

00:21:42.800 Every one of which points out that fatherhood, a father present gives every young person a an immense advantage in their lives, in getting to school, to getting more education, to learning skills and being productive members of society.

00:22:01.040 The people who are terrible in this are those who are attacking him right now.

00:22:06.600 And that's what we're living with in this in this era of this great nation.

00:22:11.720 Well, they're associating, you know, everything political like that.

00:22:16.760 He's trying to do what's right. And for some reason, saying having a father figure, it's I mean, I'm sure there are stats.

00:22:22.480 I don't have them in front of me that kids growing up without a father tend to be worse kids or get in more trouble because they don't have that disciplinary in there.

00:22:31.200 Someone that like that teaches a skill.

00:22:33.380 I mean, one of my regrets, I never paid attention to my dad when he wanted to be a mechanic.

00:22:38.040 I just I was kind of grew up lazy on that part.

00:22:40.380 I just expected to open the hood and there'd be a big giant on off switch switch to off, you know, something like that.

00:22:44.980 But stuff that a dad can do for a son, especially.

00:22:47.320 Yeah, it's very important.

00:22:48.140 And I don't. And plus, it's, you know, Tony Dungeon, he pro football coach, obviously working with the best of the best,

00:22:54.540 but people who have had to be number one, the top one percent of every, you know,

00:22:57.640 he's coaching players that have been the best player on every single team they've ever been on in their lives.

00:23:02.000 So these are these are these are alpha performers and he works with every race.

00:23:07.060 And I don't it just him saying something that that he believes in, which is true.

00:23:12.140 They're just going to attack it because suddenly it's all the political agenda.

00:23:15.900 You either agree with all of this or all of that.

00:23:18.740 And that's it. You can't be in the middle.

00:23:19.860 And, you know, and they even bring up old stuff about when he was when Michael Sam,

00:23:24.160 I think, was the first openly gay football player in 2014.

00:23:26.960 They're bringing that up, saying that he was attacking his sexuality on stuff.

00:23:30.540 And all Tony Dungeon was saying, well, this is not going to be a distraction.

00:23:32.780 And again, it's just the left trying to get a lot of their agenda into every part.

00:23:36.180 And if you've noticed, most of the stuff that these leftist policies get involved with breaks.

00:23:41.060 They all said nothing really works.

00:23:42.620 They haven't they haven't made anything.

00:23:44.140 It's like, well, this is a better place now.

00:23:47.140 And the idea that Tony Dungeon, who is who's led just an extraordinary life because he on and off the field, as it were,

00:23:56.060 he is committed to the community, to to all of the right causes and to and to think that he has to put up with that kind of nonsense.

00:24:06.900 Just an upstanding, outstanding human being. 0.96

00:24:11.620 It's just disgusting.

00:24:13.400 Yeah, he seems I've never met him, but he seems like a great guy.

00:24:15.700 And he's obviously a very successful coach.

00:24:17.640 And just you're making he's making a point that most most most of these kids that are in trouble grew up without fathers.

00:24:23.980 That's all he's really saying, as far as I can tell.

00:24:26.560 And and by the way, one of the reasons I know he's a great guy, he's one of the few NFL analysts.

00:24:32.440 When he speaks, I'm not talking back to him.

00:24:35.080 I'm actually listening.

00:24:36.900 Yeah, right.

00:24:37.900 Another another one is a beauty.

00:24:41.080 The Black Lives Matter explains six million dollar homes.

00:24:46.480 Are you ready?

00:24:47.760 Yes.

00:24:48.000 As a place of joy.

00:24:50.440 And it just makes them feel better to be living in a six million dollar house.

00:24:54.980 I don't know of a single person who wouldn't feel a little better.

00:24:58.700 That's what I'm saying.

00:24:59.580 Unless you've got a lot of money.

00:25:00.980 But living in a six million dollar house is a pretty good deal.

00:25:04.160 It would probably bring joy to most Americans.

00:25:06.960 Yeah, I think so.

00:25:08.540 If I if I was able to start a GoFundMe page and not give any of the funds to the whatever my cause was like they did, because they're not really helping out the a lot of inner city communities.

00:25:18.820 But, you know, if I put that sort of six million dollar home for myself, I would be full of joy as well, I guess. 0.84

00:25:22.980 Other than the complete scumbag thievery of it. 0.88

00:25:26.200 Yeah. 0.92

00:25:26.620 I mean, how could you not a place of joy?

00:25:28.340 Six six million dollars.

00:25:29.900 What is it?

00:25:30.360 Money can't buy happiness.

00:25:31.740 So I guess I'll just rent it.

00:25:32.840 I just can't understand why the media doesn't come to terms with the way people talk.

00:25:38.580 We have got we've fostered this this absolute insistence in our media that they don't say what they mean. 0.99

00:25:48.260 Instead of talking about a suspect, they should be able to say, you know, this SOB, this scumbag. 1.00

00:25:56.580 Yeah. 0.99

00:25:57.080 And they'll cancel you for saying anything, especially the truth.

00:25:59.720 Well, even today, there was a there was a shooting in Brooklyn on the subway and I'm watching it live.

00:26:07.860 And, you know, I'm interested in this.

00:26:08.900 It's not far from me.

00:26:09.720 And they're describing and they say he's 5'10", 175 pounds, wearing a gas mask and a Norse vest.

00:26:16.280 I'm like, look, I'm not.

00:26:18.340 Is he a white guy?

00:26:19.620 Is he a black guy?

00:26:20.520 Is he an Asian guy?

00:26:21.580 That's you could say that, but they don't want to offend anyone.

00:26:23.560 So we can assume it's any and nowadays we don't even I mean, he was a biological male, but he's identifying as a baby.

00:26:29.880 So what are you talking about?

00:26:33.100 Well, so people understand what New York is all about, if you don't already.

00:26:39.260 Here's what came across on Fox News, actually.

00:26:43.420 Fox News live updates and alerts.

00:26:46.460 This is within a 55 minute period this morning.

00:26:53.040 Ready?

00:26:54.240 Breaking news.

00:26:55.340 Multiple people shot and at least one New York City substation on detonated devices found, official says.

00:27:03.500 I mean, this is New York City, folks.

00:27:06.660 Breaking news.

00:27:07.640 New York lieutenant governor arrested on bribery charges.

00:27:12.660 Breaking news.

00:27:13.980 New York City subway attack suspect at large was in gas masks.

00:27:18.080 There's your description.

00:27:19.200 If he doesn't still have that gas mask on, we're probably operating at a slight disadvantage in locating.

00:27:27.220 Breaking news.

00:27:28.580 New York City schools near subway attack sheltering in place as manhunt intensifies, you hope.

00:27:34.560 And live updates.

00:27:36.540 Bloody images emerge from inside smoke-filled Brooklyn subway station.

00:27:41.300 I mean, that's where we are right now.

00:27:44.360 I'm surprised that some left winger on TV hasn't yet said, other than shooting people, because he was wearing a gas mask.

00:27:52.300 He's very alert on not to spread COVID.

00:27:54.800 Yeah.

00:27:56.640 Not to bomb he set off.

00:27:58.280 I cannot look at a single institution, and I'm very serious about this, Rob, and I'd like to know what you think, but I can't look at an institution of any kind and not think that the left is running this show and they are leading us down the path to perdition.

00:28:14.900 But your view.

00:28:17.280 Yeah, I think that, too.

00:28:18.820 And a lot of people that are running the show are not necessarily the president, which is pretty obvious and certainly not the vice president, but it's a lot of the attorneys that are behind the scenes because they know, again, it's personal wealth and power, like I said before.

00:28:31.020 And Washington, D.C. is not a very big city.

00:28:33.420 And it's kind of the same players and the same – I mean, it was obvious when President Obama came back to the White House recently, and he's walking around with the star power, the quality, the – I mean, whether or not you agree with him, he's got leadership qualities, he's a great speaker, he knows how to work a room.

00:28:46.960 And then Joe Biden's over there wondering where his banana flambé went.

00:28:50.060 Like, he can't see anything.

00:28:51.160 Like, his back is at the camera.

00:28:52.540 He's wandering around like a decrepit old man that's lost.

00:28:57.000 So someone's making the calls over there. 1.00

00:28:58.780 And, again, they're not stupid. 0.96

00:29:00.460 They're doing it for a reason. 0.96

00:29:01.360 I don't know if that reason is like in Chicago when they were raised to hate the system and then they become the corrupt Chicago politicians or just from the universities and then it's decided that America is inherently evil even though people are just dying to get here.

00:29:14.060 Well, because it's the greatest country in the world but also because the borders are wide open and they can just ship them all over the place to turn red states blue, which if you think about it, if you – I mean, and it's very hard to be logical with people that one plus one is in fact two.

00:29:28.140 They're doing this on purpose.

00:29:29.220 Bring them in, make sure – there's a whole – like, there's one going around if Democrats are so concerned without having an ID to vote and voting early, just put ballots at the gas pump.

00:29:41.280 And based on how much you're paying for gas, who do you want to vote for?

00:29:44.480 But it comes down to number of votes regardless of how many are illegal.

00:29:48.920 And there's that joke that my grandpa didn't vote Democrat until he died.

00:29:54.560 It's like, what?

00:29:56.560 Lifelong Republican.

00:29:58.020 And again, I don't – I mean, and I'm neither.

00:30:00.560 I'm not a Democrat or a Republican.

00:30:02.480 I'm independent.

00:30:03.740 I'm all about the country and my fellow countrymen.

00:30:06.340 And that's why I speak out.

00:30:07.440 It's like you're hurting someone right now by doing this nonsense. 0.86

00:30:10.580 Well, I'm the worst kind of American.

00:30:14.420 I'm a Republican and I'm independent.

00:30:18.320 And as an independent Republican, let me tell you, there's some people in the party establishment who hate me even more than the left, I believe.

00:30:27.800 But Republicans right now are attracting large numbers of Hispanics and Blacks and a vast majority of the independents to them.

00:30:42.600 And that could mean what?

00:30:45.340 When you look at the House of Representatives, Newt Gingrich was on the show the other day.

00:30:50.400 He said 40 to 70 House seats will go to the Republicans.

00:30:54.060 Probably.

00:30:54.520 That'll be the margin.

00:30:55.480 And they'll need that margin because they've got at least that many rhinos in the conference. 0.99

00:31:01.060 Yes, they do.

00:31:01.800 Yeah, they are, too.

00:31:03.080 And I hope it goes well.

00:31:05.500 Newt Gingrich is awesome, too.

00:31:06.540 He's got some of the best analysis, always has.

00:31:08.980 And he's proven before how to work from the other side of the aisle.

00:31:12.220 But the point you're making there with the Latino families, if you think about it, they're very hardworking families with mother and father and religious, Catholic.

00:31:22.640 And that's what conservatives are.

00:31:24.660 And a lot of the Black community is realizing that nothing is changing.

00:31:31.240 And all these policies that sound great, nothing has changed.

00:31:34.440 And I think, again, too, this is me being cautiously optimistic.

00:31:38.240 Most people want to work hard.

00:31:39.680 Most people want to earn their keep.

00:31:41.020 They want to support their family.

00:31:42.100 But a lot of regulations keep them down.

00:31:44.160 And, again, this is government regulations, which government is – I've never seen a government branch or anything, project, product, solve a problem and say, well, we're done with that.

00:31:55.880 We'll just close this down.

00:31:56.680 Just keep growing.

00:31:57.400 It's like Homeland Security.

00:31:58.640 But we had one guy several years ago try to blow his shoes up.

00:32:02.680 It didn't work.

00:32:03.240 And we're still all taking off our shoes because of that one guy that couldn't even do it.

00:32:06.580 And that's just – the government can't really solve any problems.

00:32:09.920 They create problems.

00:32:11.800 These are not socialists in the Democratic Party.

00:32:15.100 These are hardline Marxists right now in charge of this country, whether it's in Congress, whether it is in the executive branch.

00:32:22.820 You know, good old smiling Uncle Joe is not so good.

00:32:28.020 He is so old.

00:32:29.400 But this is not socialism that he's talking about.

00:32:34.260 He's trying to destroy fundamentally the sovereignty of the nation, leaving open the border.

00:32:39.360 We have 150-plus nations represented amongst the illegals crossing that border, 2 million of them in the first year of this presidency.

00:32:49.360 How do people explain that to the Border Patrol?

00:32:55.080 Would you just sit over here?

00:32:56.360 Mark Morgan, the former head of Border Protection and Customs and Border Protection, said that basically the Border Patrol is now being treated as a federal travel agency, shipping off illegal immigrants in the middle of the night.

00:33:10.340 Did you ever at any time in your service to the nation, in uniform, think to yourself, you know, I'm going to come back and they're going to strip border protection at the southern border where most of the drugs come into this country, sex trafficking, human smuggling, and terrorists, who knows how many, come across?

00:33:32.480 Because we don't know.

00:33:34.720 Did you ever think that would be even remotely possible, that you would be shipped overseas to fight for your country while your country is throwing away its borders?

00:33:44.160 No, I never would have thought it would be this bad.

00:33:46.540 I mean, the sex trafficking, okay, there are people taking kids so they can cross the border, and the worst things imaginable are happening to them.

00:33:54.460 You think that alone would be enough for both us and Mexico to fight this stuff.

00:33:58.620 The fentanyl that's killing so many people, hardly mentioned, but people are dying every day because of stuff coming across of the border.

00:34:04.760 And, again, it's got to be on purpose.

00:34:07.580 We're not just shipping people to Westchester, New York, on flights where they didn't even need an ID to get on the plane.

00:34:14.640 There's a reason behind it.

00:34:16.000 And, again, it all comes back to corruption in power.

00:34:18.020 I mean, these people, they're following Karl Marx, who is a socialist, and he's fighting for the working party against capitalists.

00:34:26.520 What was weird about him being in the working party is he never had a job.

00:34:29.420 How are you working party if you're doing nothing?

00:34:31.580 And that's Karl Marx.

00:34:32.240 They follow him, and he's just a bad guy, a horrible idea.

00:34:35.000 And they always say, well, we just haven't done it right yet, even though everywhere else has been tried, it hasn't worked.

00:34:40.100 It turns into hunger.

00:34:42.460 It turns into violence.

00:34:43.760 They say you can vote your way into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out.

00:34:46.460 We don't have a pipeline that we desperately need, and we're not drilling, and we're not responding with even a sense of emergency and urgency with our energy supplies in this country.

00:35:01.200 And we're going to give money back to Iran.

00:35:04.920 They call it the new deal, but Vladimir Putin's negotiating it.

00:35:08.660 So we're going to take oil from Venezuela, from Iran.

00:35:11.500 Talk about the ultimate neo-Nazis.

00:35:13.500 Iran is. 0.89

00:35:14.360 If we're worried about the global environment, what difference does it make if we drill it or Iran drills, other than us funding their terrorist organizations? 0.90

00:35:22.880 But people don't think they're past their nose because they're told by the media, you know, that's the Iran nuke deal.

00:35:27.660 Yeah, they're going to just use nuclear energy for peaceful means.

00:35:34.460 I used to be a battlefield interrogator.

00:35:37.760 Well, actually, we stopped that.

00:35:38.640 We had to turn it into a tactical questioner.

00:35:40.440 But that means you're interrogating someone, a terrorist, in their house after you wake them up, and you've got them scared to death.

00:35:46.060 And I would tell other – as I interrogated this guy, hey, it turns out they lie a lot.

00:35:51.800 And it's like that's exactly what Iran is doing, lying to us. 0.98

00:35:54.360 They know they're going to – they're trying to make nuclear weapons either smuggle them in so someone can hit Israel or so they can hit Israel from Iran. 0.95

00:36:01.560 And that's all they want to do because they are true believers in the jihad, and that's it.

00:36:06.400 And that is once you destroy the world, everyone that believes goes to heaven.

00:36:09.840 Nonsense like that.

00:36:10.620 But, I mean, there's some crazy stuff going on that we don't want to admit because we're too busy making sure we have the right bathroom facilities on ships and submarines.

00:36:18.260 No question about it.

00:36:19.580 And speaking of wars, the war on terror sort of has dissipated here of late, and we have a new war and one that has the potential to be nuclear war with Vladimir Putin moving his forces, invading Ukraine.

00:36:37.240 And the United States has – there is just no clear policy emanating from this administration.

00:36:45.340 They're Marxists.

00:36:46.240 I understand there may be some sort of spiritual bond, but you talk about collusion.

00:36:52.220 No sanctions and not sending enough equipment into Ukraine so that they can fight that war.

00:36:59.740 They're doing, I think, an amazing job.

00:37:02.240 They were supposed to be rolled over in three days.

00:37:04.220 These Ukrainians are fighters.

00:37:07.240 They're definitely fighters, and they have a lot of advantages on their side.

00:37:10.640 Like, I mean, fighting in an urban area as an invader is about a six-to-one ratio as far as I know.

00:37:16.640 The Russians, however, their only tactic is to surround it and then bomb it until they surrender. 0.64

00:37:21.740 That's how the Russians have always done it. 1.00

00:37:23.620 Horrifying for the civilians that are there.

00:37:25.360 I mean, there's war crimes and atrocities being committed just out of this insane. 0.53

00:37:29.720 But Russia was going in there with a plan that we'll just take it over eventually, and no one will ever see what we actually did.

00:37:35.180 So we're starting to see it.

00:37:36.260 But the problem with the lack of leadership on a world state, and I'm including, you know, NATO.

00:37:40.580 NATO needs to step up.

00:37:41.900 Because all they're doing well, if we do this, maybe Russia will launch a nuke. 0.87

00:37:45.720 Well, at some point, you need to say, all right, I mean, this is scary if you've got two crazy people. 0.92

00:37:50.040 Not crazy people, sorry. 0.95

00:37:51.160 One crazy person and then one, our president, with their hand on the button.

00:37:54.960 And we're not sure who's making the decision. 0.79

00:37:57.200 But Putin does also want to go down as the ultimate, you know, Russian leader.

00:38:02.460 And if that comes in nuclear weapons, it can.

00:38:04.980 But there needs to come a point where you have to stop being afraid of him.

00:38:07.520 And there are countermeasures that we have.

00:38:09.500 And Russia is proving they're not as good as we always thought they were. 0.97

00:38:12.060 But, I mean, we can't just let Putin run the world because we're afraid of a crazy person. 0.85

00:38:17.740 Like, where are we?

00:38:19.460 You know, Russia and Germany, that's a reason, you know, because NATO was there.

00:38:25.760 So what are they going to do?

00:38:26.980 I mean, you didn't notice that no one wanted to pay their, was it 2% GDP for NATO until Russia started invading?

00:38:32.240 Oh, no, we're all about it now because it's our problem.

00:38:34.900 But then we're funding it by buying all the Russian oil because we shut down the United States and Canada.

00:38:39.020 If they had, in point of fact, done what Donald Trump said and fully funded their defense budgets and fully funded NATO,

00:38:46.620 which, by the way, is a very difficult thing for them because that 2% gets, you know, it really works out to maybe 1%

00:38:53.440 if you include staffing up and equipping up NATO.

00:38:58.980 NATO, if they had just followed what he said when he first said it, there would have been a whole different attitude on the part of Vladimir Putin.

00:39:07.240 Of course.

00:39:07.860 And we had three months.

00:39:09.060 We had three months notice that he was going to invade.

00:39:11.880 You don't have to be a genius military analyst to see 150,000 troops on the border of Ukraine and think, you know, maybe,

00:39:20.400 maybe they're thinking about invading because we've never seen them do that before.

00:39:25.180 That's right.

00:39:25.820 Well, and they do have a bit of a history in 2014 taking all of Crimea.

00:39:32.120 So I don't understand what this administration's national security team is all about, but they need a new quarterback, I think, badly.

00:39:40.840 Well, their new national security number one objective is climate change.

00:39:44.980 And that's their religion.

00:39:46.320 I mean, they have a few religions on the left, you know, climate change, abortion, COVID.

00:39:49.860 But even I was saying at the beginning, OK, they're going to try to suck a bunch of our money out of us by being on the border. 0.77

00:39:58.220 And I said, they're not going to invade because no one's that crazy.

00:40:00.900 And I'll be the first to admit I was wrong.

00:40:02.440 Like, they invaded.

00:40:03.360 And I even said on my Twitter account, if they invade, God help us.

00:40:06.900 And that's worth the God help us point now.

00:40:08.480 I mean, save yourself some pain by not Googling videos of what's happening right now.

00:40:15.480 There's some horrible stuff happening.

00:40:17.420 And but I mean, there's there's no deterrent whatsoever that we are weak.

00:40:22.000 The biggest deterrent in the world is China followed by Russia. 0.63

00:40:24.760 And, you know, what's China doing right now?

00:40:26.760 Man-made islands in the South Pacific in their military.

00:40:30.300 And they're just trying to push their way that way that they were just going to watch Russia roll into Kiev.

00:40:34.540 And then they're doing that to Taiwan.

00:40:36.420 But the Ukrainian people are just proving they will fight. 0.99

00:40:39.340 They will fight for their country.

00:40:40.400 And it's just a it's it's a sad state of affairs when you can have a superpower invade a neighboring country and no one does anything.

00:40:47.080 One of the other sides of all of this is what we're doing with our own military.

00:40:51.560 And one of I heard one of the greatest Pentagon nonsense doublespeak the other day when they announced that they had decided to reduce their recruiting.

00:41:07.200 They're lowering their numbers.

00:41:09.460 And I thought, you know, that headline was written incorrectly.

00:41:13.920 It should be the numbers are forcing the Pentagon to reduce their recruiting numbers.

00:41:20.380 And indeed, that's the situation.

00:41:23.200 And I think, you know, if I'm if I'm 19 years old and I'm thinking about going into the Marines or I'm thinking about going into the Army, whatever, and I'm watching Afghanistan and I'm watching really all of the discussion about trannies. 1.00

00:41:38.380 Trannies. Why would any young person go into the military? 1.00

00:41:41.760 I mean, it's frustrating, too.

00:41:44.100 And I question that a lot that a lot of the guys that I know that are still in the SEAL teams are getting out in record numbers just because the senior leadership has lost its way completely.

00:41:53.660 It's almost counterproductive.

00:41:54.700 It's that leftist.

00:41:55.720 Let's let's let's defund the police.

00:41:57.600 Let's defund the military type stuff.

00:41:59.040 And morale is really, really low in the military right now.

00:42:02.280 I mean, you know, and guys are getting sent to Poland for God knows what.

00:42:05.820 It's and just lowering the numbers because it's one of those things where, well, if you can't meet the standards, we'll just lower the standards.

00:42:13.140 And that's all that's happening.

00:42:14.140 It's a very I saw it coming with with a lot of the online courses we needed to take before.

00:42:19.320 I mean, even before we went over to Afghanistan to fly to Pakistan to kill bin Laden.

00:42:24.560 Like you got to make sure all your all the social stuff is done.

00:42:27.240 And when they started letting people have stress cards in the Marine Corps, where if a drill instructor is too hard on you, pull your stress card, they have to stop or just and that's that's a real thing.

00:42:39.920 And it's just it's they're lowering the standards all across the board.

00:42:44.160 It's just it's bad.

00:42:44.980 I mean, we have we have the technology and we all I mean, we'll always have Marines.

00:42:48.260 Marines are just awesome.

00:42:49.120 But but they do need to play with the bureaucracy for their own.

00:42:52.180 You know, if you speak up, you're going to get kicked out.

00:42:54.880 It becomes personal there.

00:42:56.220 And then you got the higher ups who are political, the junior leaders like we have junior leaders, oh, three, oh, four level that are getting out.

00:43:02.480 And that's those are the people, the oh, four with combat experience needs to be the chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

00:43:06.720 The guy who's been on the ground, who's young enough and who still carries his own luggage.

00:43:11.240 If you stop carrying your own luggage, you need to get out of the military.

00:43:15.200 Well, and we know a lot of four stars and three stars who need to get out of the military then.

00:43:19.480 Yeah, I can think of it.

00:43:20.220 Yeah, it's a it's a G fours and fives and get out of my way. 1.00

00:43:26.980 I got enough stars here to to light up the night sky.

00:43:30.640 And I am really awesome.

00:43:32.020 It seems to be their attitude, almost to a person.

00:43:36.900 There's some wonderful exceptions.

00:43:39.700 But for the most part, we have.

00:43:42.160 What is it?

00:43:43.120 I think the last time we were talking, you said something like 300 times, 300 percent more generals now than in World War Two.

00:43:51.480 And there we are.

00:43:54.540 I had a I had a great officer that I and again, there are great officers out there, like Admiral Bill McRaven, who led the bin Laden raid, a Democrat. 0.97

00:44:02.780 I would follow him straight to hell.

00:44:04.060 I love that guy. 0.99

00:44:04.900 And there are great, you know, wonderful, wonderful generals and admirals.

00:44:08.180 There's also the ones that aren't so much.

00:44:10.240 But I had an officer in combat in one of the cities in Baghdad.

00:44:14.740 And we have what's called follow on target, follow on target, meaning you hit a target, you find Intel.

00:44:19.440 That's another house.

00:44:20.160 Go hit it. 0.99

00:44:20.520 And we're going over like under fire.

00:44:22.780 And I'm looking at one of our maps and I'm explaining what you do.

00:44:25.840 And I said, well, you know what, sir, you're in charge.

00:44:28.280 And he said, oh, make no mistake.

00:44:30.980 I'm not in charge.

00:44:32.800 I'm just responsible.

00:44:34.900 So you're in charge.

00:44:36.220 But, you know, but you're that, you know, the resident expert on this part.

00:44:40.520 Let me I'll do the big macro things.

00:44:43.460 We're in the micro right now.

00:44:44.540 And that's where you guys go in.

00:44:45.540 And it's a matter of who goes left, who goes right.

00:44:47.120 Let's do this.

00:44:48.000 So there are great leaders out there.

00:44:49.260 But the problem is those great leaders see the nonsense that happens.

00:44:52.100 And then they bolt.

00:44:52.800 And then they go make they make a million dollars on Wall Street because they're really good at leading.

00:44:55.700 The thing is, we have great leaders, but we're not teaching winning.

00:45:00.820 Yeah, I had that conversation with the commandant of well, they were two different commandants of the West Point.

00:45:08.240 I said, do you ever teach anybody about losing?

00:45:11.540 Do you ever focus on defeats?

00:45:13.780 And what happened?

00:45:15.280 I get the victories and all of that.

00:45:17.180 But what about just defeat?

00:45:18.320 Yeah, that's great.

00:45:19.400 Yes.

00:45:19.760 And I was talking with a fellow I've got a great respect for, and I'll just say this, Dr.

00:45:26.520 General David Grange, who's just a terrific, terrific general.

00:45:35.680 And he was at West Point teaching a program in a program for warriors.

00:45:41.540 And it was it was a great thing to watch and to see those young cadets just soaking it up as he talked was amazing and an amazing experience.

00:45:52.740 So there are some good things happening.

00:45:55.080 I just want to make that clear at the academies.

00:45:57.700 But there are all some some things that obviously needs tweaking.

00:46:01.060 I'll put it that way.

00:46:02.300 Well, yeah, I mean, if we haven't won a war since World War Two, something's going wrong.

00:46:05.580 And and you are you know, when you talk about victory, I wish that that word were contagious.

00:46:13.480 I once asked, well, I wouldn't I better not say this out loud, but I, I once asked a very important pointed official in the government, if once ever once in Vietnam, you considered victory as an option.

00:46:29.040 And he told me forthrightly, this was at a dinner in Washington.

00:46:33.700 He told me forthrightly, never, never.

00:46:37.780 And that goes back to Vietnam.

00:46:39.540 And I and I I've only seen one guy bring the attitude that we're going to have a short war and we're going to win it.

00:46:46.260 And that was Schwarzkopf in the Persian Gulf War.

00:46:49.160 Yes.

00:46:49.640 After that, it's a shame is all I can say.

00:46:53.640 It's a shame.

00:46:54.660 It is.

00:46:55.340 And we didn't even learn from the desert storm when when we didn't go all the way to Baghdad and take out Saddam because we left the Shia were slaughtered by Saddam. 0.64

00:47:08.240 And then we went back in in 2003.

00:47:10.440 We're like, well, we'll just take Baghdad and the Shia will they'll just rise up and be on our side. 1.00

00:47:14.080 And everyone's like, well, no, they won't.

00:47:15.900 Why would they trust us this time?

00:47:17.040 What if they don't?

00:47:18.000 Oh, they will.

00:47:18.680 Yeah.

00:47:18.860 But what if they don't?

00:47:19.840 And no one considered what if they don't.

00:47:21.420 And that's, you know, that's a whole other conversation there, too.

00:47:23.480 But learning from either victory or defeat in the Shia's case there and understanding the history of what's going on, you know, it's winning, losing and getting in and out without. 0.99

00:47:35.420 I mean, when the military sends in, that's that's another end political means is by force.

00:47:41.220 And when you're going in is to kill and you don't need to worry about feelings. 0.54

00:47:44.940 You don't need to worry about did you kill him nice enough? 0.99

00:47:47.500 You got to go in and kill and you can leave and tell him, look, either you fix your own country now or we're going to come back and do this again. 0.98

00:47:52.740 It could have all happened so much quicker and so much faster and and been profound in its conclusion. 1.00

00:47:59.240 We forgot who we were.

00:48:00.700 And I think it really did start with Vietnam.

00:48:03.480 So with that, our convention is to always give our guests the last word.

00:48:09.080 And I can't think of anyone I'm happier to listen to with the last word for this broadcast, this podcast than Rob O'Neill.

00:48:18.500 Rob, it's all yours.

00:48:20.340 Well, thanks again, Lou.

00:48:21.780 Well, we started off with social media, talking about Twitter and how it's entertainment.

00:48:27.580 You can't take that too seriously.

00:48:28.740 Honestly, I'm a big believer in saying positive, be positive.

00:48:32.200 Most people, most people want to be good.

00:48:33.540 Social media is not real.

00:48:35.100 It's more just people yelling at each other and just just master the basics.

00:48:38.760 If you want to be good at something, do it a thousand times.

00:48:40.920 If you want to be great, do it 10,000 times.

00:48:43.620 Don't be afraid to take the shot.

00:48:47.380 I was asked at a speech the other day, if you can go back and give 15 year old Rob O'Neill any advice for life, what would it be?

00:48:54.900 And my answer was, ask her out.

00:48:57.780 That's it.

00:48:58.740 Just ask her out. 1.00

00:49:01.280 Take the shot.

00:49:02.160 You never, you never know.

00:49:03.220 So, Rob O'Neill, as always, it's great to have you with us.

00:49:07.200 His handle on Twitter is M-C-H-O-O-Y-A-H.

00:49:12.880 And we recommend his Twitter account to you, The Way Forward.

00:49:16.520 Dakota Meyer, his co-author in that.

00:49:19.920 How was that working together on that book?

00:49:22.980 Dakota's awesome.

00:49:23.620 He's so much fun to work with because he's a very logical dude with an incredible experience.

00:49:29.780 I mean, I'm convinced he's looking for it.

00:49:31.380 He just went to Ukraine recently.

00:49:33.100 And I'm like, Dakota, you have a medal of honor.

00:49:35.040 You've done your part.

00:49:36.480 But it's just, it's fun to work with him because the way we describe it is, you know, I was a white guy from Montana who didn't know how to swim, became a Navy SEAL in Bin Laden's bedroom. 0.52

00:49:44.260 And he was a male cheerleader in Kentucky raising chickens, and he wins a medal of honor in Afghanistan.

00:49:50.260 And it's just, we all have something in common, and the clock keeps ticking for all of us.

00:49:55.560 So, you can learn, you know, learn from your past, but stop worrying about it.

00:49:59.960 What do we do now?

00:50:01.320 It's, you know, my favorite line that I use on football teams, okay, it doesn't matter why it's second and 15.

00:50:06.360 It just is.

00:50:07.400 The clock's ticking.

00:50:08.420 What's the way forward?

00:50:09.580 Appreciate it, Rob.

00:50:10.540 Thanks so much.

00:50:11.180 We're going to, I assure you, keep your book up on our website.

00:50:17.880 Thank you.

00:50:18.240 We're going to keep reminding people about your magnificent tweets.

00:50:24.080 I've heard my tweets described many different adjectives.

00:50:28.280 That's the first time magnificent was used.

00:50:30.460 Well, thank you.

00:50:32.160 I'm from Texas, so the highest compliment I can give you is they're a hoot.

00:50:36.540 Thanks so much.

00:51:02.860 We'll be talking about the Russian war on Ukraine, the impact on this country, the cry from the leftist Dems and rhino leftists to put our troops in Ukraine. 0.58

00:51:12.360 And why?

00:51:13.340 And why isn't the Biden administration preparing for war against communist China?

00:51:19.660 Our guest tomorrow is businessman and Asia expert Jonathan Bass.
