00:00:00.000 hello everybody and welcome to the great america show it's great to have you with us thanks so
00:00:06.700 much for joining us today i hope you guys are all in the holiday cheer and ready for christmas
00:00:11.200 this week and the new year to follow just after that this week folks we're going to be bringing
00:00:15.240 you the best of episodes from the great america show for this holiday week we hope you guys will
00:00:19.800 enjoy them as much as we enjoyed recording them and the feedback we've gotten from you all there's
00:00:24.940 so much going on in the world as we often talk about on this show daily weekly and monthly
00:00:29.420 the latest the drones all flying over the northeast nobody knows where they're coming
00:00:35.740 from nobody knows where they're going nobody knows why they're here apparently not even our government
00:00:41.540 or do they the truth of the matter is is our government has been nothing but deceitful to us
00:00:46.720 for the last we'll say four years maybe even before that to take all this up and what's going on over
00:00:53.760 abroad and with these drones and our national security both here at home on our southern border
00:00:58.580 and overseas in ukraine and russia and over in gaza our guest today is colonel doug mcgregor
00:01:05.240 he's the ceo and founder of our country our choice colonel mcgregor it's great to have you here on the
00:01:11.720 great america show i really appreciate you joining us i want to start with first what's on everybody's
00:01:16.520 mind at least here in the northeast where i am in new york people in new jersey about these drones i want
00:01:22.420 to roll a quick clip of john kirby on with bill hammer and his take on these drones now it makes
00:01:28.560 me nervous watching this i think it's probably going to make you nervous watching it in the audience
00:01:32.240 take a listen you hear all of these officials you've heard a lot of concern a lot of coverage
00:01:37.540 where are you tonight on this as we look at the information we've got brett and we've now examined
00:01:44.420 some 5 000 different sightings we've added detection capabilities additional observers
00:01:48.900 as you and i stand here today to date our assessment is that this is lawful legal commercial
00:01:57.780 hobbyist and even law enforcement aircraft activity some of it's manned some of it's unmanned we absolutely
00:02:05.200 acknowledge that a lot of these are probably drones but they're they're flying legally and it is legal
00:02:11.780 to fly uh drones in non-restricted airspace as long as you're registered with the faa and there's
00:02:17.700 thousands and thousands uh of uh of these kinds of flights every single day i think there's more
00:02:23.380 than a million drones that are uh registered with the faa just in the united states alone
00:02:28.020 now colonel before i get your take on that i just have to admit i i'm a little bit more in
00:02:33.300 tune with this because i'm a commercial pilot i'm not a journalist by trade so i do understand
00:02:37.000 the whole airspace uh issue i want to pull this up uh for the audience to see here
00:02:41.660 if you look up in the map colonel on the north and northwest and you probably understand what
00:02:45.460 we're looking at here we're looking at new york airspace you'll see a a red circle on the top
00:02:50.140 left hand side that's called a temporary flight restriction a tfr means you can't fly over it
00:02:55.480 at a certain altitude the one to the south of that uh is another tfr uh looks to be over uh another
00:03:02.940 air force base but the northern one is picatinny arsenal colonel a right air for a military base out
00:03:10.300 northern jersey and the tfr was issued if you see on the screen here on november 25th and it's valid
00:03:17.300 until december 26th and they say it's for uh special security reasons so this has been put out there now
00:03:25.520 from the government for us to see but we have john kirby out here telling us these are just drones you
00:03:30.980 buy at the convenience store colonel i think john kirby has a habit of adding to the confusion
00:03:35.880 and it's hard to explain why we're seeing these kinds of things not just in the area that you
00:03:41.700 showed me but on the west coast as well other locations in the united states and you know i do
00:03:48.580 not have personal knowledge of what this is but what i get lots of information sent to me by people that
00:03:54.460 work with us at our country our choice and they tell me that well some of this is is connected to
00:04:01.400 some search that's underway for uh something radioactive and i asked well what are you talking
00:04:07.320 about a lost warhead uh from the armed forces and they said well it could be that it could be something
00:04:13.240 else then of course you always have someone who is convinced this is evidence for first contact
00:04:18.280 i don't think so because first contact would probably use far more sophisticated technology if
00:04:25.280 they could fly that far to get here i don't think that's it and then finally that somehow
00:04:30.880 all the hobbyists all across the country decided we're going to fly around these places and confuse
00:04:36.860 everyone for the next few days i think that's a little unlikely so let's assume maybe maybe you
00:04:43.280 have the department of defense doing something and they don't wish to comment in in depth on it
00:04:47.920 that seems plausible i'm surprised picatinny arsenal has suddenly become so important
00:04:53.000 uh over the last several decades you've had lots of efforts to shut it down
00:04:57.400 so it's interesting uh and i've been to picatinny arsenal and i know a lot of people there are very
00:05:03.000 nice people so let's just say dod has a hand in this the thing that it's and to your point about
00:05:11.220 people flying more drones the white house says people might be seeing more drones since it's darker
00:05:15.600 and the skies are clear and they're not used to drones colonel i flew into newark airport last night
00:05:20.420 uh from florida and i flew out to go to florida on friday when i flew out on friday i see these
00:05:25.720 things up at 5 000 feet 6 000 feet 7 000 feet the airspace over newark you can't overfly newark
00:05:31.820 right until 7 000 feet okay so if you're in it's a federal offense if you fly any sort of drone it
00:05:37.580 doesn't matter if it's a drone this big or if it's a drone the size of a car it's a federal offense they
00:05:41.460 take airspace very seriously in the faa if i fly through that airspace in my little cessna
00:05:47.040 they have f8 and the president's in town they'll have f-18s coming up next to me and if i don't
00:05:52.060 abide by it they'll shoot me down yet we have kirby sitting here telling uh bill hammer on fox news
00:05:58.020 we shouldn't be shooting everything down just because we see it i want to roll that clip for
00:06:01.960 you and get your reaction military bases have seen these drones fly over them that's a federal offense
00:06:08.340 if there ever were justification to shoot a drone down that would be it why hasn't it happened
00:06:16.160 well because look first of all bill the military commanders at installations have the authorities
00:06:22.280 they need to defend themselves their people their interests and certainly to protect our
00:06:26.420 our uh our secrets and our national security sometimes the answer is to find a way to down a
00:06:32.340 drone and sometimes the answer is not and a lot of it depends on the capability that the base
00:06:36.480 commander has available to him or to her but they have the authorities that they need
00:06:41.620 uh the uh the sense that you you have to shoot everything down just when you see it uh even if
00:06:47.460 you do believe that uh there's a malicious intent uh doesn't comport with actual reality so i mean it
00:06:52.480 really depends on the situation uh at hand but rest assured commanders have the authorities that
00:06:57.760 they need to take the action that they must to protect their facilities what did you military bases
00:07:03.180 this is the same administration who's dumping billions of dollars into ukraine to shoot missiles
00:07:08.620 into russia providing them with u.s military uh arms this is the same administration who waited
00:07:14.960 till a spy balloon flew over the whole entire continent of the united states and then used a
00:07:18.180 four hundred thousand dollar sidewinder to shoot it down over the coast off the coast of myrtle beach
00:07:22.520 south carolina yet he wants to tell us with a straight face that we shouldn't be shooting anything
00:07:27.760 down and there's ways to get the drones down it's just going to take over a month or so
00:07:32.360 well i've heard this before you know i did not have sex with that woman
00:07:37.660 i think he must have understudied the clinton spokesman uh look he's he's having great difficulty
00:07:45.740 twisting and turning to get the lie across if this were if this were not dod related obviously those
00:07:53.540 things would have been shot down i think that's perfectly clear you made that point i think you're
00:07:57.660 right the only thing we can conclude it's dod the problem is that things that 50 years ago we would
00:08:03.680 never have known about we now know about that's all and uh i think we should leave it at that point
00:08:09.760 now are they searching for something i mean one person said it was very clear uh there's a threat to us
00:08:16.460 uh there's a dirty bomb out there waiting to explode who knows i i find that hard to believe but
00:08:23.260 that's more plausible than brother kirby's statements i mean this man is ridiculous before
00:08:29.420 we before we move on from that because you bring up a good point because i i read the same thing about
00:08:33.060 the radioactive material and the the uh thing going missing the container going missing but i also saw
00:08:38.300 uh an update on it that apparently the radioactive material that had gone missing was for like a pet
00:08:44.140 scanner or something like that or a cat scanner that was going to be used in that why is it constantly
00:08:50.140 colonel that we're being like trolled by our u.s government and this massive game of deception
00:08:56.700 it's almost like we're living in china where you can't get a straight answer whether the sky is blue
00:09:02.100 or the sky is gloomy one day or it's raining or it's not we cannot get a straight answer out of this
00:09:07.040 administration on literally anything i think you're right and i think distraction is the word
00:09:12.880 all of these things are useful distractions i mean right now we have a massive military buildup of
00:09:19.200 turkish troops on the border with the so-called syrian state inside syria which is kurdish
00:09:26.040 and uh you know this is something that's been developing for a long period of time
00:09:30.700 how nice to have a distraction over the skies of new york washington or anywhere else
00:09:36.140 to divert people's attention away from serious things overseas
00:09:39.840 too many lies for too long have destroyed the credibility of the united states government and
00:09:45.840 specifically both the state department and the department of defense you're absolutely right i
00:09:50.880 do want to get into the kurdish forces i do want to get into syria before we get to that i want to get
00:09:55.820 your take on this administration that president trump and it can't come soon enough it's it's about a
00:10:00.780 month and two days before he's sworn in as 47 i want to get your take on particularly a man like
00:10:07.760 pete hegseth the man who's going to be uh running an organization that you know far too well in the
00:10:11.860 military uh we'll start with pete hegseth what's your thought on thoughts on pete does he make it
00:10:17.200 through are you confident in the job he's going to do once i think he does get through
00:10:21.420 uh you know pig hegseth's a nomination came as a stark surprise to me as it did to many other people
00:10:30.640 uh i certainly would not have selected someone like that with his background it certainly does
00:10:36.020 nothing to prepare him to deal with this large behemoth called the department of defense
00:10:41.260 i'm sure that'll come up in the confirmation hearings if he sent sent to confirmation he might be
00:10:47.020 appointed in a recess appointment in which case uh he could stay there for a year and then have to
00:10:53.500 return for confirmation if you look at all of the people that are being nominated right now they are
00:11:01.060 all in my judgment a pack approved interesting that's what's most important and it got to go back
00:11:09.280 to the republican convention and there was a portion of the republican convention when suddenly the israeli
00:11:15.420 flag this enormous israeli flag was placed on the wall and above it was the statement israel first
00:11:21.640 and this gentleman came out and tried to lead cheers for israel first and got a sort of temp you know
00:11:29.780 tepid response but i think that's at the heart of most of these nominations these these are people that
00:11:36.720 are committed uh unconditionally to whatever the israeli state wants to do and i think that's not an
00:11:44.360 accident very interesting uh before we move on i people like heads to accept and some of these other
00:11:52.620 folks a lot of them you know never working in the field before but we constantly have people carnal
00:11:59.340 that we bring in to run organizations under this administration under the bush administration
00:12:04.660 under the first trump administration who have been in these bureaucracies their entire career have run
00:12:10.280 the pentagon their entire career have been in the military their entire career and they've got us
00:12:14.260 into this massive mess you look at the pentagon they've just failed their seventh or eighth straight
00:12:18.280 audit can't account for billions of dollars of funds um you look at the military industrial complex
00:12:23.560 blowing up like it's never blown up before you look at a border that's wide open and it's being run by
00:12:28.620 people who have been in these organizations forever mayorkas and uh well i was going to say
00:12:33.440 buddige buddige i'm not sure where he came from but nonetheless you have these folks who are career
00:12:39.080 bureaucrats who constantly get us in the shit do you think it's a breath of fresh air now that
00:12:44.300 trump is pulling some of these folks who are not career bureaucrats not really uh i think the
00:12:51.320 problem is as follows there are lots of people that you can find who could be qualified to do many of
00:12:56.300 these jobs most of them are drawn from the swamp that's certainly what donald trump did during his
00:13:02.980 first administration and if you wonder if you want to return to the revolving door that guarantees
00:13:08.980 no change remember everyone on the hill is preoccupied with one thing change nothing because
00:13:15.880 change disrupts the money flow right no one on the hill wants to change the direction in which money
00:13:21.340 is flowing since they benefit from it right you know lou lou lou dobbs bless his soul used to say
00:13:27.220 we have the best government in washington that money can buy
00:13:31.120 i'm afraid that's true we still do we're having that again with this particular group
00:13:37.360 i'm not saying it's easy to find people who place the interests of the country before their own
00:13:43.100 interests that's a difficult thing but nevertheless we could do a much better job than i think donald trump
00:13:48.900 has done to this point now we'll see you know donald trump's problem in the past was
00:13:52.800 that he took the position that it didn't really matter who was appointed because he was the decision
00:13:57.820 maker and he seemed to think that since the buck ended with him on his desk that he could control
00:14:04.800 everything i hope he learned for the first four years that that's not the truth at all yeah and if
00:14:10.520 you're if you're picking people on the basis of their willingness to do certain things then they may not do
00:14:17.620 anything else in other words you've got to be very careful what your agenda is and these are tough times
00:14:23.800 we need we're at a point in our history where we really need a massive overhaul not just in the
00:14:30.960 department of defense but across the government i mean it's sort of interesting you see christy known
00:14:35.440 as the governor who's appointed to take over the department of homeland security well that's one of
00:14:39.820 the first bureaucracies i'd get rid of why do we have it it's been an abysmal failure right it's another
00:14:46.420 bureaucratic exercise in bureaucratic constipation get rid of it we don't need it what about agriculture
00:14:53.120 you know what about energy department of education we could do things differently with energy well
00:14:58.080 first of all i don't think we need a department of energy you could turn the whole nuclear program
00:15:02.520 for all of our nuclear power stations everything else over to the navy because the united states navy
00:15:08.640 has the largest number of trained competent nuclear engineers in the world yeah that's what we have as a
00:15:15.800 nuclear nuclear submarine fleet they know what they're doing especially when it comes to weapons
00:15:20.540 there are a lot of things that we can do and i think this doge is is problematic because the
00:15:27.180 people that are at top of that they don't know anything i'm sorry they don't know anything about
00:15:32.920 washington they don't know anything about these agencies and they don't understand what you're
00:15:37.960 dealing with so i i think president trump has always has good instincts and good intentions i don't
00:15:44.920 dispute that and i like the man very much but those are not going to count for very much in washington
00:15:51.440 if you don't know how the place works if you don't know what the snakes and alligators in the swamp are
00:15:57.320 doing right that's the problem you know the issue is i understand i agree with everything you're saying
00:16:02.940 the issue is is donald trump has been screwed over so many times before by people in his own orbit that
00:16:08.040 it's brought him to this point now where he has no choice you look at what john kelly and mad dog
00:16:14.000 mattis you look at the slew of people he had the first time and it seemed everyone was there to sort
00:16:18.780 of undermine everything he did and and go against everything he did we look at what mark milley did
00:16:23.800 as trump was getting ready to leave and now we hear joe biden may be issuing him some sort of
00:16:28.380 preemptive pardon because he did something wrong uh colonel i want to take a quick break here when we
00:16:33.020 return you had mentioned the money that's being dumped everywhere a 20 billion dollars more going to ukraine
00:16:37.860 before joe biden leaves but it's only a loan we're going to get it back um we're talking with
00:16:41.800 colonel doug mcgregory he's the ceo of our country our choice we're coming right back stay with us

00:17:47.040 we're back we're talking with colonel doug gregor he's the ceo of our country our choice colonel before
00:17:54.700 we went to break i mentioned the 20 billion dollar loan that zelinski's getting before joe biden leaves
00:18:00.280 it's part of a 50 billion dollar g7 support package uh you do the math now g7 they're giving
00:18:06.340 30 we're giving 20 doesn't really add up here um i'm not sure if it's a gift from joe biden for some
00:18:13.340 sort of uh business his son will be running once he gets back but i mean how are we still going in
00:18:19.180 this ukraine war after all of this time i say it all the time on the show and i know you agree there's
00:18:24.500 no way ukraine wins this war what are we doing i think it's appropriate to think of biden and his
00:18:30.780 administration as a collection of arsonists they've set fires in ukraine they've set fires in the
00:18:40.700 middle east and they're uncontrolled burning out of control destroying everything and so they've
00:18:47.320 decided on their way out since they can't stay in power to throw as much gasoline as possible on
00:18:52.880 them to sabotage whatever comes after them whatever comes after them is president donald trump
00:18:58.900 now it depends on how trump handles these things but we have to assume that 50 of everything you
00:19:07.220 send to ukraine is essentially lost in corruption right it's just stolen right i mean look if you've
00:19:14.180 got president zelensky's wife driving a bugatti you know up and down the highway between poland and
00:19:20.820 ukraine but there's something wrong with that picture but i'm not saying that bugatti isn't a
00:19:26.260 good thing i remember a professional basketball player was brought up on charges on something in
00:19:31.220 order to pay a fine he turned around to his attorney he said great job that's just one bugatti payment
00:19:37.060 all right so maybe maybe we're dealing with something like that but you know bottom line is
00:19:43.160 it's disastrous you know we're just making matters worse this is not in our interest as a state as a
00:19:50.480 nation it's not in the interest of anyone it's least of all the american people nobody voted for this
00:19:56.960 stuff right but remember nobody in the meantime what do we got open on the border no border right
00:20:04.620 millions poured in we don't know where they are and that'll be that's that's the existential question
00:20:10.200 for us what are we going to do about the border what are we going to do to stop the deaths of over
00:20:14.420 110 120 000 americans a year from fentanyl well you're not going to stop it by getting on television
00:20:20.740 and preaching don't take fentanyl but you're going to have to stop the fentanyl from coming in right
00:20:25.840 nobody's made any damn effort to do that i know some good people in the police and border patrol tried
00:20:31.400 but they're overwhelmed yeah and these are the things that americans voted for they didn't vote for
00:20:36.880 widespread war eternal war in ukraine the europeans all these governments in europe are going to change
00:20:42.740 yep it started in germany it's going to hit france and great britain everywhere and you know what
00:20:48.620 eventually they're all going to say we're out yep you look what's happening in canada right now
00:20:53.760 canada right now colonel they have had enough i mean uh trudeau trump has this amazing effect that
00:21:00.480 he's able to have on people and if they're bad people he manages to have everyone hate them
00:21:04.700 trudeau has already hated to begin with but you see what's happening in his parliament right now
00:21:08.320 and they want him out of there going back to ukraine the endless money it seems trump's not fully on
00:21:15.060 board with um ukraine entering ado nato it's it's unclear if we'll even be in nato in the next four
00:21:21.720 years but looking at it and and you know what we're probably going to get put up on some web page
00:21:26.280 somewhere maybe media that were russian simps but i'm not i have no uh affiliation with russia or anything
00:21:31.580 like that but if you look at it from russia's standpoint how do you how do you think they look
00:21:36.900 at it when you tell them nato is going to be on their border how do you explain that to them when
00:21:42.660 they're a single country watching there and they have an organization of nato on their border with
00:21:48.700 missiles on their border how do you explain that um if you're nato to russia well i think the analogy is
00:21:55.160 very simple that mexico and cuba are both going to join the greater russian chinese alliance right and
00:22:02.660 as a result large numbers of chinese and russian troops technicians and military experts along with
00:22:09.520 armaments are pouring into mexico and into cuba and there's a large buildup of force in mexico and
00:22:16.780 everybody's trying to figure out what it's for and they finally realize it's designed to invade us and
00:22:22.420 destroy us gosh what would we do i think we have long ago launched b-52s and carpet bombed everything
00:22:29.660 in sight because that's our normal normal response the russians waited for years to do anything and
00:22:36.200 they saw this cancer metastasizing over decades right they they looked for someone with sense and
00:22:42.700 honesty to say wait a minute we have interest in what happens in cuba and and places like mexico
00:22:49.160 doesn't russia have a legitimate security interest in ukraine not to annex it not to govern it but to
00:22:56.080 simply ensure that it doesn't become a platform for attack against russia too late right and nobody
00:23:02.980 nobody wants to see it that way nobody wants to look at it from russia's standpoint uh i'm not old
00:23:08.560 enough to remember but i've you know read a fair amount of history about one october 1962 in the 13-day
00:23:14.860 period of something called the uh the cuban missile crisis sure it's not just you had mentioned uh
00:23:21.180 russia uh with respect to mexico and cuba i invite everyone to go look at what they're doing in
00:23:27.020 honduras right now how much money uh china has invested in honduras building electrical power plants
00:23:33.200 electrical dams in honduras go look at a map and you'll find out where honduras is relative to the
00:23:38.820 united states and you're soon going to realize it's not just caravans that are going to be coming
00:23:42.720 through that southern border it's going to be far worse than that i you know i just don't know how
00:23:47.540 does this end colonel how does this end with russia and ukraine uh it ends with the destruction of the
00:23:54.440 ukrainian nation which is well underway how many millions have left is anybody's guess what's the
00:24:00.660 true population of a state that once had almost 40 million is now down to what 17 or 18 million
00:24:07.360 hundreds of thousands of dead uh at least 600 000 dead on the battlefield probably more and
00:24:13.820 most of your casualties in any war are taken at the end you know it's hard for us to imagine but
00:24:20.120 for every german soldier killed on the eastern front roughly six soviet soldiers died
00:24:26.460 now when did the when did the numbers begin to favor the soviets at the end
00:24:31.740 when the when the remaining german forces were compelled to retreat the same thing was true for
00:24:37.280 the japanese the ukrainians are dying in great numbers every day pointlessly why why why perpetuate
00:24:44.380 this well i think it's not going to work i think ultimately russia will decide the outcome and this
00:24:50.700 recent assassination of a russian general probably by ukrainian elements inside russia and remember
00:24:57.040 ukrainian ukrainians can speak russian as well as russians right they're very difficult to identify
00:25:02.360 russia is a huge country well the largest in the world if not the largest borders are open and porous so
00:25:08.060 you can get in and out it's it's not it's not well guarded the problem is how do you guard
00:25:14.380 thousands of miles it just it just doesn't work so i think the bottom line is that russia will
00:25:21.700 eventually crush what's what remains east of the river i think they'll probably go into kiev and root
00:25:29.160 out this government and at some point the europeans are going to say that's it this is enough because
00:25:34.440 that means that the russians will continue west until they're on the polish border not because they
00:25:39.920 want to they don't that's the big lie i mean if we've learned anything anybody's learned anything
00:25:45.760 from the last century and the century that preceded it occupying places is a disaster and it's expensive
00:25:52.540 you want them to rule themselves you just don't want your neighbor to be a a blood enemy of the
00:25:59.900 country that you live in that's all right and this is easily solved you know make make ukraine look like
00:26:06.020 austria austria became neutral in 1955 eisenhower loved it he said let's find out whether or not we can
00:26:13.540 make poland and the rest of these places neutral because he said we can't possibly defend them all
00:26:18.840 right well he was right we have no interest in war in that part of the world and the europeans that
00:26:25.860 have been governing are maniacs they've signed on for this ludicrous nonsense the rules based order
00:26:31.860 which is just an order that that represents whatever we want we call it the rule america wants the rules
00:26:38.280 this a lot of americans think oh that's great we're powerful but washington has made itself
00:26:42.940 universally hated and we need to get out of this business and that's what donald trump i think
00:26:48.160 wants to do whether or not he can i don't know let me ask you before we because you mentioned a lot
00:26:53.580 of good stuff in there and and fighting wars over there like you said nobody voted for and we're going
00:26:58.920 to get to the war that we have here at home and that's the border with the cartels before we get to
00:27:03.520 that i want to just wrap up on the russia ukraine issue with if there is a concession to be made on
00:27:09.800 zielinski's behalf and i think you're right i've said since i've taken over this show for the great
00:27:15.160 lou dobbs in august i think we're going to see zielinski one day get on an airplane with a bag
00:27:21.420 of cash with a few duffel bags and never be seen again in some country we'll find him later on his
00:27:26.840 wife and all of them but i think that's how it ends and russia ultimately does take over
00:27:31.240 in the in a perfect world colonel with donald trump as chief negotiator what does a concession
00:27:37.900 look like for ukraine um with regard to russia what president trump should do is immediately
00:27:47.060 suspend all military aid to ukraine on the day that he is inaugurated number one the only thing that
00:27:54.780 keeps uh ukraine alive is whatever support we provide particularly in terms of cash
00:28:00.080 with the cash you can pay off the crooks at the top of the ukrainian army the ukrainian bureaucracy
00:28:06.040 the ukrainian government cut off the cash the whole thing falls apart secondly he should withdraw all
00:28:13.820 u.s personnel from ukraine both military or intelligence in and out of uniform doesn't matter
00:28:21.380 everybody leaves right now once these two things happen i think the europeans can convene a conference
00:28:29.000 we don't need to do it frankly do you really care how much of eastern ukraine remains russian
00:28:35.080 no i don't care i have no interest in that whatsoever i don't want to see any of my sons
00:28:41.660 shipped overseas to fight for eastern ukraine sorry it's not important so it's a european matter at that
00:28:49.260 point then it's up to the germans the poles lithuanians latvians estonians romanians and what we
00:28:55.220 need to tell them is we're out this is your problem remember when president trump was in at the
00:29:01.360 beginning and the first time he took the position that look at europe look at japan these people are
00:29:06.880 very wealthy they've got all the material wealth they need why can't they defend themselves right
00:29:12.100 and what he really wanted was not so much an end to nato at that stage but he wanted them to be their
00:29:17.740 own first responders well come on let let's get out of this folks russia does not want to march west
00:29:25.320 russia has no aspirations to conquer anything russia wants to do business which is what we should be
00:29:32.960 interested in get out of this business of criticizing everybody else's government ours is certainly not
00:29:38.520 perfect i don't see anybody else's government is perfect but we all live on the planet so let's do
00:29:44.400 business yeah i think trump is inclined in that direction if he's allowed to do it yeah i think
00:29:51.220 you're you're absolutely right uh we're going to take up on the other side of this quick break
00:29:55.240 before we go to break i want to touch on one more thing but we're going to take up our border here at
00:29:59.120 home we're also going to take up a new piece that you have with regard to israel and iran and another
00:30:03.720 war that we're somehow in the middle of over there uh before we go to break though assad uh being
00:30:09.880 forced out of syria it poses a little bit of an issue for russia uh that i want to take up with
00:30:15.460 you and it's russians losing the syrian port of tardis and it's their only place that they're able
00:30:20.880 to refill their subs now ukrainian intelligence so we'll take this with a grain of salt says uh just
00:30:26.640 before two weeks two weeks ago when uh uh syria had this whole regime change those five ships were
00:30:34.040 heading back to russia uh signaling that they may be pulling out of there completely what can you tell
00:30:40.300 us about russia's role uh in syria and i mean will they still have some sort of presence there
00:30:47.140 um as it regards to them pulling out of the space we have roughly 840 bases beyond the borders of our
00:30:54.940 country all over the world russia had won in syria right it was never seen as a vital strategic interest
00:31:04.980 to russia there were lots of people in russia that said sure we want to help assad but why do we want
00:31:11.120 our troops on foreign soil right so i think departing syria may be a disappointment in some ways but i don't
00:31:19.400 think it's viewed the same way we think it is here uh this is not an embarrassment they knew that
00:31:25.480 assad's government was on shaky ground we've been trying to overthrow it since 2011 we've destroyed
00:31:32.260 its income we've carved up the place into various entities so i think they probably said we've done
00:31:39.000 all we can do uh we're going to cut our losses and go it's something i wish we would do right now in
00:31:43.400 ukraine russia is focused on what the threats are to its country along its borders it's not focused on
00:31:50.760 faraway places it wants to be in good stead with all of the muslim arabs they have 20 million muslims
00:31:57.820 inside russia those muslims out of 140 million russian citizens have been assimilated those are
00:32:05.120 happy people there will be no muslim uprising inside russia's borders but the point is they they want
00:32:12.760 to get along for business purposes that's what the chinese want you mentioned uh i guess you
00:32:19.240 mentioned something about the chinese building something in honduras well the chinese are trying
00:32:24.040 to make inroads all over the world of course but they're not sending military power we've we've become
00:32:30.420 too militarized right we've got to get out of this business of militarizing our foreign policy right
00:32:36.080 because you know what i mean we're in it for one simple reason and i know you agree with me on this
00:32:40.920 it's it's padding the pockets of these uh military industrial complex folks the lindsey grahams of
00:32:47.620 the senate these folks who are all for wars overseas now i don't understand something and maybe you can
00:32:53.100 explain that to me in layman's because it's very it seems very simple to me yet so uh difficult we
00:32:59.480 watch what happens when we destroy regimes as america we watch what happened in iraq we watch what
00:33:04.500 happened in afghanistan we created isis the cia created isis we created the taliban we allowed them to do
00:33:09.080 these things now we have syria another regime change which presumably we'll see something else
00:33:14.620 uh pop up with these folks being able to do whatever they want free reign when will america
00:33:19.920 learn their lesson colonel that we cannot be the world's police and by us overthrowing governments
00:33:26.060 which is not our job we're creating more destruction than we would have had in the first
00:33:32.480 place with these people just running their own countries however they want to run it
00:33:35.360 as long as it's not bothering us the bottom line is as i wrote in the american conservative is that
00:33:41.080 we're replacing this phony rules-based international order which just is whatever we want with chaos
00:33:47.700 it's back to our original discussion if we can't have it our way then we'll just
00:33:53.680 become bomb throwers arsonists throw throw the gasoline on the fire and let it burn itself to the
00:34:00.520 ground that's not making us very popular around the world and syria is a perfect example it's gone
00:34:06.840 it doesn't exist it's disintegrated it's not just a question of blocking resupply from iran to hezbollah
00:34:13.860 and by the way if history teaches us anything they'll find another way to resupply them but the bottom line
00:34:20.100 is that for the moment syria has disintegrated it doesn't exist it's going to be carved up and we see a
00:34:26.040 partition of syria along territorial lines between israel and turkey both of whom aspire to be
00:34:33.500 hegemonic powers in the region now the turks have almost 90 million people the israelis only have six
00:34:40.100 and a half million jews i don't know how many are left in israel right now since many of them left
00:34:44.140 during the war but that's pretty tough to exercise hegemony with that small number that means that that
00:34:49.940 hegemony depends on us and do we have an interest in that
00:34:55.900 i think we've got a lot of interests that we shouldn't we shouldn't necessarily have colonel i want to take
00:35:02.480 one more quick break here when you turn i want to take up that that american thinker article and i also
00:35:06.560 want to take up the war that we had spoken about the war here at home and that's our southern border
00:35:11.100 um it's a real war it's one that that's affecting everybody we know i probably you probably know many
00:35:17.460 people who have been affected by drugs whether it's families or them directly i know plenty of
00:35:21.480 them and it's ruining our country and uh joe biden and kamala harris have allowed it to happen
00:35:26.480 um no inroads we're coming right back with colonel mcgregor he's the ceo of our country our choice folks

00:36:54.980 and you can go ahead and read that over at american uh conservative uh colonel mcgregor
00:37:00.400 great peace um there's so much going on in this world um another war now in syria what is israel's
00:37:10.620 play here um as it relates to now moving into syria as if they don't have enough wars going on in
00:37:17.240 lebanon or in the gaza strip or you know you point it out uh people will remember 7 october
00:37:25.300 and when i first saw the film footage including some of the footage that not everyone has seen i
00:37:30.760 was horrified and uh you know i thought that the israelis had every right in the world to respond
00:37:37.760 to it but i hoped at the time that they would respond in some way other than collective punishment
00:37:43.340 when you when you engage in collective punishment you nearly always fail i've seen that in the army
00:37:49.440 i've seen it everywhere you seek to punish 800 people for what one or two did it fails miserably
00:37:56.320 but then as i looked at it more and more and more information came into me i've begun to think that
00:38:01.500 what happened on 7 october was allowed to happen because everyone knew about it when i say everyone
00:38:08.100 you had people in the israeli system of intelligence especially a group of women who were tasked with a
00:38:14.460 responsibility to monitor everything that happened in gaza they were idf members and the israelis by
00:38:20.120 the way are very smart they bring people in and then they say okay you have an iq of 160 you go over
00:38:25.940 there and because you're really smart we want you to focus on just these things we don't do that
00:38:31.240 we tend to hammer lots of round pegs into square holes it's stupid but we do it they don't and these
00:38:39.200 women did a brilliant job and they anticipated what was coming and they reported it and they were told
00:38:44.660 you're wrong then the day before this attack unfolded you had the deputy chief of intelligence
00:38:54.580 deputy chief of staff for intelligence in egypt contact the head of intelligence in israel directly
00:39:00.120 and say we see a horrible attack building in gaza directed at you now i've been down to gaza i've
00:39:10.240 seen the israeli security measures and i visited their headquarters the israelis are very competent
00:39:14.780 people not much happened over there that they would not know about it would have taken almost no effort
00:39:21.080 at all to say well as a just as a precautionary measure let's bring down a reaction force of tanks and
00:39:27.900 merkova vehicle merkova tanks how many tanks you want 15 20 and then we want to put uh attack
00:39:34.800 helicopters on standby and we'll put a couple of jets on strip alert if they'd done that as soon as
00:39:41.940 something broke in gaza it would have been destroyed it would it wouldn't have made it 150 meters
00:39:48.160 that didn't happen right i couldn't believe it i was shocked because i'd been there i'd seen them i know
00:39:53.980 they knew what was going on plus israel's got to be the most secure country on this planet colonel
00:40:00.060 yeah i think so i've always been a great admirer of the israeli wall right simply because we we should
00:40:06.600 be building something like that across our mexican border and there are places in the north that we
00:40:11.420 could use that sort of thing but my point is i really think they knew it was coming netanyahu may be
00:40:17.280 responsible for this and he decided that this would be his opportunity to leverage this event
00:40:23.580 to justify mass ethnic cleansing of arabs in gaza and ultimately the west bank but as he said several
00:40:31.100 weeks afterwards we are going to settle accounts with everyone we have a front down in gaza we have
00:40:37.160 a front in southern lebanon we have a front on the west bank we've got a front with the hoodies we've got
00:40:42.700 a front against uh uh people in syria we have another front against iran we're going to settle
00:40:49.160 it all we we when we're through it'll all be gone and right now he's boasting that he's changed the
00:40:54.740 face of the middle east well i think he has but nothing ever stays the same and when you throw a
00:41:00.780 grenade into a mess like that you're going to have a lot of blowback and the blowback hasn't even really
00:41:06.220 begun yet for israel and we're the ones that are being asked to protect us from the blowback
00:41:11.820 so i think the next step for him is attack iran while he can and i don't think he's going to wait
00:41:18.040 for donald trump to be inaugurated because many of his advisors and and his inner circle may say
00:41:24.080 well if we wait are we certain that that donald trump will go along with what we want to do
00:41:31.580 to iran or will he raise questions will he try to constrain us you know i i met with donald trump i
00:41:39.440 know his intentions are true and good he may not always understand everything but this is not
00:41:44.200 someone who argues for war right now what would he really do so i think they would much prefer to
00:41:50.780 present him with a fait accompli let's get the war with iran started because they know once that begins
00:41:57.180 it's not going to end quickly it's not going to be over in a couple of days now that presupposes
00:42:02.420 that he does not uh that is netanyahu does not authorize the first strike with nuclear weapons
00:42:08.940 right that could happen in which case it's still not going to end quickly but it could spread very
00:42:13.680 rapidly and become extremely damaging to everyone but that aside i think they would like to have this
00:42:21.000 underway and put president trump in the position of we have to support us now because as soon as they
00:42:26.600 come under serious attack they'll scream bloody murder for us and we'll be in another war another
00:42:32.900 endless war over in the middle east that has absolutely nothing to do with us going back to
00:42:37.020 you know we had heard reports that i believe it was egypt had told israel about that planned october 7th
00:42:42.800 attack you know lou and i don't i don't know we both we don't know we we've taken all the information
00:42:48.900 and then we make a decision or an opinion based on it lou always used to tell me if something doesn't
00:42:54.220 seem right lift up the rug and there's probably a mouse under the rug and it just makes you wonder
00:42:59.260 uh the the most policed uh country in the world the most police territory in the world the most
00:43:04.600 secure territory in the world the best probably intelligence in the world uh would allow something
00:43:11.520 like this to happen but it wouldn't be the first time in history we've seen we saw 9-11 about the intel
00:43:16.980 that we knew that came in from 9-11 a friend of mine uh tony schaefer had tried to alert the
00:43:22.880 government that uh about one of the bombers on 9-11 we find out later you know and at the end
00:43:28.300 of the day colonel it all gets brushed under the rug it's a conspiracy it never happened it may have
00:43:34.180 happened but it wasn't good intel i'm sorry but if someone gives you a decent intel that someone's
00:43:39.580 going to blow up your country if someone's going to do a mass killing on your homeland you better take
00:43:44.780 it and and and heed the warning at least somewhat so you say netanyahu's top priority is the
00:43:51.080 destruction of iran before russia wraps up its victory in ukraine we've only got about a month
00:43:58.080 before donald trump comes in is he able to do that i mean he goes into gaza which i told you before the
00:44:03.220 before the show i equate him invading gaza if rhode island wasn't a state and and the united states were
00:44:10.700 to invade rhode island it would be gone in an hour now we look at this thing going on a year over a year
00:44:16.940 still gaza's still there everything's still flowing what is taking him so long the parallels
00:44:23.280 between this zelinski thing in ukraine and netanyahu in gaza and lebanon seem far too similar in my
00:44:33.200 opinion well first of all i think we need to set aside zelinski he's always been a puppet for washington
00:44:39.140 you know he he's going to bloviate until it becomes clear that he is either going to be killed if
00:44:45.000 he stays or had better flee and as you say leave with stacks of cash although i'm sure he's already
00:44:51.060 moved a lot of his wealth into banks in the united states as well as uh you know cyprus and other
00:44:56.720 places so he he's dead it's over with i'll be surprised if he survives uh now secondly when it
00:45:04.500 comes to israel it's a different story go back and look at president netanyahu's speech in front of i think
00:45:10.320 was the un where he held up a map and he pointed to the map and look at that look at the borders on
00:45:16.140 that map the borders are very different from israel's borders you no longer saw anything on there really
00:45:22.120 about jordan right syria was largely ignored half of it was now part of uh israel southern lebanon was
00:45:29.260 part of israel and even the sinai and part of egypt was part of israel so i think that's the game plan
00:45:36.900 and he's determined to make it work and his view is we are the key to success as long as we are obedient
00:45:44.200 to his demands he can do anything he wants and i think the evidence to this point demonstrates that
00:45:50.180 he's correct now is president trump willing to cede his presidency to mr netanyahu biden effectively did
00:45:58.020 that yeah i mean go back and listen to early biden before dementia then listen to biden after dementia
00:46:05.100 there are two different people i mean this is a man who talked about very different things in the
00:46:10.100 middle east very different things in ukraine and russia i think he's not in control and hasn't been
00:46:16.100 for a long time which is why i called for his removal gee at least a year ago if not earlier right it's
00:46:22.840 tragic hasn't happened we don't know who's been calling the shots i hear a lot of strange rumors on
00:46:27.400 that but i think we know he isn't is president trump willing to let others call the shots for
00:46:33.360 him on behalf of netanyahu or will he become president of the united states will we have an
00:46:38.700 american first uh administration and everybody acts like well that's terrible that's isolation
00:46:43.740 no it isn't isolation means that you seal yourself off for the rest of the world all all most of us who
00:46:50.240 have advocated for an america first policy have said is we don't want to use military power all over the
00:46:57.280 world right that should not be our first choice we we should opt for diplomacy we should opt for
00:47:03.960 economic assistance we got to get out of this business of sanctioning and bullying people all we do is
00:47:10.260 bully bribe or bomb right got to go away right tell that to the centers you know it brings you bring up a
00:47:18.440 very interesting point about netanyahu wanting to push his borders further and i think it does bring
00:47:24.220 in a some sort of conflict if he thinks trump is going to help him with it and it's simply because
00:47:28.860 of the abraham accords how does netanyahu get past that when president trump is the one who was
00:47:35.200 attempted to broker peace how does he convince trump to say you know you can push into the borders of
00:47:40.420 jordan you can push into the borders of egypt you can push into the borders of lebanon you can push
00:47:44.780 the borders wherever you want when four years ago president trump was the only reason i say this on
00:47:50.640 every show i talk about foreign policy president trump is the only reason israel is standing right
00:47:54.480 now because of those abraham accords if those abraham accords aren't in place i think israel is probably
00:47:59.060 wiped off the face of the map after october 7th that's my opinion on that but how does netanyahu go
00:48:05.020 to president trump and say well now i want to expand my borders here after president trump just four years
00:48:09.200 ago brokered peace in the middle east for this to not happen well this is where we go back to the
00:48:14.940 original point about arson the fires are set they're raging out of control how do you stop the fires from
00:48:23.660 burning all the way across the region and affecting virtually everybody these islamists that are
00:48:30.140 killing large numbers of people many of whom are christians beheadings you know the usual thing we see
00:48:36.340 these uh videos that are quote unquote unauthorized of people being mass murdered inside syria then we
00:48:43.300 see another video that's obviously staged where the islamist jihadist stands there and says oh we love
00:48:48.980 israel right of course good luck with that uh i think the israelis are smarter than that but the point
00:48:55.460 is that everything's being burned down when it when everything's burning down what do you do about it you
00:49:01.780 try to put the fire out but frequently if you don't put it out quickly what does it do it spreads well
00:49:07.440 it's already spreading that's why the turkish army is building up on the border with the kurdish state
00:49:12.660 inside syria the the turks are going to crush the kurds absolutely without question uh they they've been
00:49:19.740 up to this for a long time people now don't remember when when we went into uh saudi arabia and uh
00:49:26.980 kuwait and iraq in 1990-91 the the turks asked us please don't dismember saddam hussein's state if you
00:49:36.300 dismember this state we'll end up with a hostile state on our border called kurdistan right well we
00:49:42.680 effectively did it anyway and 2003 begged us not to go in and of course told us we're not helping you
00:49:49.360 destroy iraq right go somewhere else you're not going through turkey we all we all forget these things
00:49:54.520 right i'm not saying that i support the turks what i'm trying to point to and this is something we
00:49:59.920 don't get nations have interests we tend to ignore those because as far as we're concerned everything
00:50:08.120 everywhere is of interest to us right and in fact it isn't right but they have interests we don't respect
00:50:14.040 them the turks are now going to fix this problem now once this problem is underway it's going to take
00:50:19.380 some time you don't you don't smash something like the kurdistan stayed inside syria overnight
00:50:24.680 i don't know how long it'll take the israelis in the meantime are holding on to the bottom
00:50:30.520 southern portion of it but let me point to something else that nobody in the west has talked about
00:50:36.520 it's very important i wouldn't have noticed it except good friends from the region pointed it out to me
00:50:42.820 the turkish intelligence chief just a few days ago flew to damascus for meetings with the jihadists
00:50:50.820 as soon as he landed he got off he had a turkish military and secret police escort they took him to
00:50:58.220 the umayyad mosque the umayyad mosque was built by the same group of sultans or turks and and arabs that
00:51:08.300 built the dome of the rock in jerusalem it's about the same age it goes back to the 9th and 10th
00:51:15.020 centuries roughly from 850 to 940 this is a very important mosque because the umayyad dynasty which
00:51:22.840 was the second caliphate after muhammad uh is maybe they call it the first i don't know but it was a
00:51:29.380 caliphate it's associated with muhammad's successors he went there and he prayed in the umayyad mosque
00:51:37.900 nobody paid attention to it that's what he did the first thing he did in damascus now that was a
00:51:44.160 signal to everybody in the region of what the empire is back the empire being the ottoman empire
00:51:54.380 right that's what he was there for he prayed there we have returned because they never ever ever ever
00:52:03.440 in turkey accepted the outcome of the first world war kamal ataturk did that because he knew the
00:52:10.900 turks were too weak to do anything about it he wanted an end to all that fighting so he could
00:52:15.540 build the state up well turkey is no longer weak it is a major regional power and they are now feeling
00:52:22.540 their oats in a rather dramatic way so that visit was very symbolic and very important i'm sure the
00:52:27.920 israelis figured it out yeah maybe they did maybe they've reached the point where they are so arrogant
00:52:32.880 that they dismiss this but that's a symbolic move anyone who doesn't think so as is deranged
00:52:40.860 this was a big signal to the whole islamic world oh my god we're in a big trouble i mean you'd
00:52:50.340 mentioned the interests of of people and why we're in these wars and i you know the only interest i could
00:52:55.780 think of colonel is the military industrial complex and these folks making money president trump you often
00:52:59.860 heard him say and when he was first in office you know we invade all these places we didn't even take
00:53:04.460 the oil you know you mentioned every country has their interests we go into these countries we overthrow
00:53:09.420 these governments we get nothing for it and i don't think we should get anything for it we're hated around
00:53:14.580 the world as you mentioned i completely agree with you on that and rightfully so we go into these nations
00:53:19.600 we tear them apart but we get absolutely nothing out of it we leave oil behind we spent we leave
00:53:25.220 equipment behind we leave military equipment behind to terrorists and it seems to be completely fine
00:53:30.440 i know you're strapped on time and i really appreciate you joining us here today colonel
00:53:33.980 before we wrap up i promise we're going to talk about the war we have here at home one that we should
00:53:39.040 be fighting with terrorists here on our southern border terrorists here in our country the drug cartels
00:53:44.160 the drug lords the drug manufacturers over in mexico the chinese that come through that southern border
00:53:49.360 what are we going to do i mean do you think in this administration president trump will treat these
00:53:54.980 folks like the terrorists they are and extinguish them the way they should be we heard the first in
00:54:00.400 the first administration according to some folks that he maybe wanted to blow up some of those drug
00:54:04.800 factories i thought it was the most brilliant thing he could have possibly done we've launched
00:54:08.320 missiles in countries as we spoke about all today that have gotten us nothing and they're for absolutely
00:54:13.240 no reason this is for a reason do you think we see him treat these folks like the terrorists they are
00:54:19.360 well i i hope so but i think the first thing that the president has to do is make it clear to the
00:54:25.280 american people that mexico is an organized crime state absolutely let's stop pretending that the
00:54:31.960 president of mexico controls or exerts influence over more of the country than perhaps of 40 square
00:54:39.180 miles in downtown mexico city yep whatever he says whatever he does it has to be cleared with the the
00:54:45.900 drug lords the drug cartels control everything that includes most of the army and the armed forces
00:54:52.220 by the way they're very well armed they've got a lot of equipment uh intelligence surveillance
00:54:57.140 reconnaissance from where the drones we're worried about the drones we're seeing well strap strap
00:55:02.840 yourselves in they've got plenty of uh unmanned aerial vehicles down in mexico some of which are armed
00:55:10.300 you can watch carefully and you'll see our javelin missiles that were purchased probably from the
00:55:15.360 ukrainian mafia or mafiosos have been sold and are now in use down in mexico wow we've got real
00:55:23.600 problems there the second thing is there is no alternative to military control of that border
00:55:28.760 it's not because the border patrol isn't any good that's wrong these people i mean they've had a high
00:55:35.120 suicide rate because so many people in the border patrol are absolutely beside themselves at what
00:55:40.740 has happened j.j carroll has written a book about uh treason and he talks about the treasonous behavior
00:55:48.160 of the last administration we're talking about the current one actually i shouldn't say last
00:55:52.920 right and it's treatment of things on the border and j.j carroll is somebody you should bring on he
00:55:57.460 was with the border patrol for over 20 years he'll tell you the same thing the problem for us now is
00:56:03.720 that these millions of illegals in many cases are here because they went through the the organized
00:56:10.960 crime state to get here that means that they had to pay a certain price now we know a lot of almost
00:56:17.080 all the women between 12 and 60 are raped but beyond that we also know that a lot of these people are told
00:56:23.140 once you get over there and we come to you and we tell you to do something you better damn well do it
00:56:27.160 the uh drug mafias are present now inside our country in all the major cities and in many places
00:56:34.640 in the countryside they're also in control of so much information that it's frightening nothing happens
00:56:41.500 in that useless department of homeland security that they don't know about right so that's the war
00:56:49.820 we have to fight it's the war we have to win or we will look like central america in the future
00:56:57.260 in every sense of the word every sense of that word that means you go to mexico not just mexico
00:57:04.920 brazil many other countries and you'll see people with any degree of wealth at all they build a house
00:57:09.240 they build a wall around it right if they can't afford electronic surveillance they put
00:57:13.520 jagged glass or barbed wire on top of the wall they pay people to guard them not let anybody in
00:57:20.820 or go out unless they're told and so forth i don't want to live in that society but that's where we're
00:57:26.160 headed unless we get control of it and frankly this is the last thing i want to get across there is
00:57:31.820 nothing more important than what happens in this country right whatever goes on overseas anywhere else
00:57:39.620 shrinks to insignificance compared with what happens here we've got to get through this terrible terrible
00:57:45.760 crisis here at home first and just imagine all the things that we know are wrong the financialization
00:57:51.820 of our economy to the point where we don't produce anything right this is enormous sovereign debt which
00:57:57.380 everybody scoffs at and says oh it doesn't matter well it's gonna find out one day yeah and our currency
00:58:05.240 is being destroyed whatever else you want to go through right now it's very strong but in in the
00:58:10.580 long run we because of inflation and this money printing it's in real trouble we need to take care of
00:58:17.140 these things here at home now we can't afford to have the justice department and judges all over the country
00:58:23.180 releasing criminals onto the streets rewarding criminals and punishing police we can't do it we can't
00:58:29.900 maintain the state in our society people don't seem to understand how important police forces are
00:58:35.740 and they don't understand that our troops sitting in poland lithuania uh romania are just wasting time
00:58:42.720 money they need to be home we need to get them down on these borders not just on the one of the south but
00:58:48.440 also up north and then secondly we got to get this nonsense this old akronistic 1945 structure has to
00:58:56.260 change the coast guard should not be independent of the navy it should be an arm of the navy and the
00:59:01.160 navy and the coast guard should both be involved in protecting our waters and the marine corps needs to
00:59:06.900 be protecting our ports and harbors just as we should also protect our airports all of these things have
00:59:13.120 to be done if we don't do them and we continue to focus overseas on other people's problems that are not
00:59:20.440 our problems you and i won't have much to discuss because we won't be around in four years
00:59:25.720 you brought up an excellent point and uh it's one that we haven't heard yet or seen it our own
00:59:32.140 military patrolling our own country you know you you hear these politicians colonel wrap up with this
00:59:38.860 saying it's a bad look for our military to be here at home it's a bad look for our military to have a
00:59:44.600 presence here on our southern border or it's bad optics well what are the optics of sending uh someone
00:59:51.020 else's son overseas that nobody voted for to fight a war that has nothing to do with us what are the
00:59:56.880 optics of that uh what are the optics of protecting uh your kids from going to school and having a drug
01:00:03.920 dealer sell them fentanyl they got that they got from a mexican or a venezuelan drug lord what are the
01:00:08.960 optics of burying a 14 year old kid who was overdosed on drugs what are the optics of walking down 42nd street
01:00:15.400 in new york city and watching a man shoot up heroin on the side of the street as you walk by with
01:00:19.440 your family does anybody think of those optics colonel no they don't in washington they live in a bubble
01:00:25.640 what doesn't uh is what's not in their face doesn't matter and their constituents if they don't
01:00:33.440 pay attention to their constituents it's because donors ultimately outweigh the interests of
01:00:38.600 constituents we had all the army's cavalry regiments on our borders from 1846 till 1948
01:00:46.440 all the so-called great men of the second world war and the regular army generals all served on
01:00:52.980 the mexican border in the 1930s the number one expectation was that we would be at war with
01:00:59.820 mexico at some point in the future and that's where we were focused it's hard for people to understand
01:01:05.540 that right now but they also forget that during world war one germans showed up in mexico right and
01:01:11.800 after world war one communists did and the soviet union maintained its largest intelligence operation
01:01:18.840 in the world outside of the soviet union in mexico right right now we have similar outposts in in mexico
01:01:25.840 and the the international intrigue from intelligence organizations like chinese and so forth they are
01:01:33.440 inextricably intertwined with the drug cartels now the solution is not to start a war with china
01:01:39.800 right or russia the solution is close that border and then you're going to have to fight a war inside
01:01:46.660 our country because if you think the drug cartels are going to take this lying down
01:01:50.380 yeah and and lose all the income they get from this you're wrong we'll have to fight a war inside our
01:01:56.560 country and when that is when that is underway that's when you begin to look at where the sources
01:02:01.640 are down south but you do not do not and listen to this you do not want to invade mexico
01:02:07.960 and try to transform it into something it's not you have to destroy the disease without killing the
01:02:15.320 patient you were talking earlier everywhere we go we end up killing the patient we don't want to do
01:02:22.380 that yeah what was the last time you know this is something that lou and i promise this will be the
01:02:26.540 last thing we touch on here this is something lou always asked when was the last time the u.s won a
01:02:30.820 war colonel well i guess you'd have to say uh if i stop and think about it i i think we won
01:02:38.880 we didn't we did not exploit it effectively but i think we won in 1991 before that uh grenada
01:02:47.340 the point is it's been a very long time we should be fighting a war and i'm very anti-war i can't stand
01:02:54.880 it but this is an easy war for us to fight colonel you said they're not going to take a laying down but
01:02:59.040 it'll be far easier in my opinion to fight these cartels than it is to ship everything overseas
01:03:03.960 like we do and fight a war that's never going to end i think this is a war that we can get done in
01:03:08.540 less than four years i think it's a war we can get done in less than two years it's one that needs to
01:03:12.940 be fought i know far too many people who have overdosed on drugs and are dead now that i went
01:03:16.940 to school with being in new york it's a common thing for kids these days i'm fortunate that i never
01:03:21.580 picked up a drug in my life that uh you know i've got to that point but i do know people and i know
01:03:25.700 families who have been ruined so it really it hits me here hard at home and it hits me hard when i
01:03:30.420 walk down the street and watch people do this stuff well i agree with you but just keep in mind
01:03:34.260 the donors who own the senate in the house don't care about it i think president trump is is not one
01:03:41.020 that's easily bought so they're either going to have to get in line uh colonel or they're going to
01:03:45.500 have to get the hell out and 2026 is going to be a test we have two years now from now to the senate
01:03:51.420 elections where we're going to find out which one of these guys want to play ball and which one of
01:03:55.920 these guys want to get their bills paid by these these uh military industrial complex companies and
01:04:01.360 these big donors so we have two years i think to figure it out and uh folks like elon musk uh is
01:04:07.460 spending a lot of money to figure out who these guys are good and which ones are good and which are
01:04:11.700 bad colonel uh colonel doug mcgregor is the ceo of our country our choice you're a great american thanks
