We're fluent in data digitization and expansion into foreign markets.
00:00:09.980
And we can talk all day about streamlining manufacturing processes.
00:00:14.260
Because at Desjardins Business, we speak the same language you do.
00:00:18.760
So join the more than 400,000 Canadian entrepreneurs who already count on us.
00:00:56.680
Our new program here on the Red Apple Audio Networks.
00:01:10.780
The U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, an appointee of President Donald Trump,
00:01:17.620
has indicated that the United States is looking to limit, rather than dismantle, Tehran's nuclear program.
00:01:24.920
And Witkoff said, the president means what he says, which is, Iran cannot have a bomb.
00:01:31.900
That's what Witkoff told Fox News in a Monday interview, elaborating that the, quote,
00:01:38.220
conversation, close quote, with Iran would be about enrichment and weaponization with the imperative to verify that any agreed commitment is completely and totally verified.
00:01:51.360
You don't need to run, as they claim, a civil nuclear program when enriching past 3.67%.
00:02:00.120
These comments, to me, indicate the United States is looking to limit Iran's uranium enrichment, rather than dismantle its nuclear program altogether,
00:02:10.880
as many analysts believe the United States is therefore closer to a peace deal in the region.
00:02:17.380
We're here to see if we can solve the situation diplomatically and with dialogue.
00:02:23.880
The first meeting was very positive, constructive, and compelling, said Envoy Witkoff.
00:02:30.600
I think this yet again proves that Donald Trump was elected as the peace candidate.
00:02:37.420
There are many forces trying to goad the United States into war with Iran.
00:02:43.200
I myself believe that this would be an enormous mistake.
00:02:47.940
I agree with Tucker Carlson, my friend of 30 years plus, about this.
00:02:55.660
There was no chance of peace in the region with Joe Biden as president.
00:03:04.200
In the Oval Office yesterday, President Trump says Iran has to get rid of its concept of nuclear weapons.
00:03:16.340
In the meantime, President Trump has authorized the military to take over jurisdiction of all federal lands along the border with Mexico as, quote,
00:03:24.720
reasonably necessary as possible to enable border security operations.
00:03:30.560
Now, illegal border crossings into the United States have already dropped by 93%.
00:03:36.880
Remember when Joe Biden told us that there was really nothing he could do without the enactment of new laws?
00:03:46.540
The so-called Lankford bill they kept talking about by RINO Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma.
00:03:54.980
When you looked closely at the Lankford bill, it actually grandfathered the passage of other two and a half million illegals into the country every year.
00:04:05.200
In fact, most of the money in the bill was for the processing of those illegals into the country.
00:04:12.140
Yeah, they'd be given a future hearing date, but then they would disappear into the United States and never be seen or heard from again.
00:04:20.540
The president has kept his promise to close our southern border, and he is now proceeding to deal directly with the Chinese on the question of the deadly fentanyl,
00:04:35.140
which has become an epidemic in the United States, but most of which originates in, you guessed it, China.
00:04:42.260
President Trump's executive order creates a new military installation spanning the Roosevelt Reservation along three states,
00:04:52.320
a 60-foot strip of land running through California, Arizona, and New Mexico.
00:04:58.360
This is land that President Teddy Roosevelt specifically set aside in 1907 for purposes of border security.
00:05:06.840
The border will now have military-grade surveillance, military enforcement rules, and restricted access like any U.S. military base.
00:05:17.760
This is the use of our military to seal our borders, something our guest today, Colonel Douglas McGregor, has long recommended and advocated.
00:05:28.920
Illegal crossing the border will be trespassers on military property now and therefore subject to military security protocols.
00:05:38.780
This means no sanctuary, no legal loopholes, and the Department of Defense can now finish the wall as part of this military operation.
00:05:49.320
In related news, President Trump's new California U.S. Attorney Bill S.A. Lee says that he will fight sanctuary state policies and warns of prosecution for anyone who interferes with immigration law,
00:06:05.560
as leftist officials in the state seem to continue to defy Tom Homan and ICE.
00:06:11.940
I can tell you this, I know Tom Homan, I know him well, he's a friend, he is one tough customer, somebody you don't want to fool around with.
00:06:22.440
He's exactly the right choice for this position as President Donald Trump is quite serious about not only sealing our border,
00:06:30.400
but also deporting the illegals and terrorists who managed to get into the country under Joe Biden.
00:06:39.020
We see this fight raging right now about a violent gang member who was correctly deported to El Salvador.
00:06:48.920
Now, some in the media have tried to say that this individual is a U.S. citizen.
00:06:58.780
He's a citizen of El Salvador, and he was in the country illegally where he violated the law, and he has been correctly deported.
00:07:07.760
Now I see that the U.S. senator from Maryland, Chris Van Holen, is going to El Salvador to try to negotiate his return to the United States.
00:07:20.120
That is, by the way, a violation of the Logan Act.
00:07:23.720
You're not allowed to go out and conduct your own foreign policy and your own negotiations.
00:07:30.260
Senator Van Holen should be charged with violation of the Logan Act.
00:07:41.560
They're not legal, and this administration is going to use every tool at their disposal to end the concept of sanctuary states and cities,
00:07:50.160
particularly those in California, according to the new U.S. attorney there.
00:07:54.300
We would be willing to charge and prosecute state officials if they interfere in our investigations or in our ability to apprehend criminal illegal immigrants when they're acting within the law.
00:08:07.360
Yes, under Donald Trump, law and order is back.
00:08:11.520
California officials may be criminally liable under 8 U.S. Code 1324, which carries penalties of prison time for facilitating the invasion and harboring of illegal aliens.
00:08:25.000
Incredibly, now a Wisconsin man has been arrested for murdering his mother and stepfather to, quote,
00:08:33.920
obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary to kill President Donald Trump and overthrow the U.S. government.
00:08:40.620
Nikita Kassap, 17, was arrested in March, charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of hiding a corpse after killing his mother,
00:08:51.880
Tatiana Kassap, 35, and his stepfather, Donald Mayer, 51, in their Waukesha home,
00:08:59.360
then stashing their bullet-ridden bodies under blankets for weeks.
00:09:04.040
Documents written by the teen called for the assassination of Trump and the start of a revolution to, quote,
00:09:13.340
The teen's scrawling show images of Adolf Hitler with the following text,
00:09:18.860
Hail Hitler, hail the white race, hail victory.
00:09:22.580
In a federal affidavit, investigators said that he was in touch with other parties about his plan to kill the president
00:09:30.120
and overthrow the government of the United States.
00:09:32.740
And he paid for, at least in part, a drone and explosives to be used as a weapon of mass destruction to commit this attack.
00:09:43.500
Other parties with whom Mr. Kassap was in contact appear to have been aware of his plans and actions
00:09:49.640
and have provided assistance to Kassap in carrying them out.
00:09:53.120
Now, the police performed a welfare check at his family home on the 28th of February
00:09:59.500
after the teen was absent from the Waukesha West High School for two weeks.
00:10:06.120
There, the police found this teenager's mom buried under a pile of clothes and blankets in the hallway
00:10:11.080
near the kitchen with multiple shots to the neck, upper torso, abdomen, and her right wrist.
00:10:16.660
Kassap has not entered a plea and remains in custody.
00:10:24.700
Meanwhile, here in the Sunshine State, the corruption probe continues to surge.
00:10:30.360
This is a shocking corruption scandal in which it became clear that Governor and Mrs. Ron DeSantis
00:10:38.860
actually re-diverted over $10 million from Medicaid.
00:10:48.320
This is money that was supposed to be used to pay for health care for the poor, the elderly,
00:10:54.360
and people who are disabled over to a slush fund controlled by the governor's wife,
00:11:06.200
The HOPE Project then transferred the $10 million to two different campaign organizations
00:11:11.740
that were working against a controversial constitutional amendment that was on the ballot in the last election
00:11:19.480
that would have legalized marijuana in the Sunshine State.
00:11:23.320
Today, the $10 million transfer is in violation of both state and federal law.
00:11:35.240
This was part of a $57 million settlement that was supposed to go back to the taxpayers.
00:11:42.120
Instead, $10 million was siphoned off to Casey DeSantis' nonprofit.
00:11:47.140
Days later, as I say, that organization transferred the money to a couple of dark money nonprofits.
00:11:55.400
Now, Republicans in the state legislature, not Democrats, but Republicans,
00:12:00.100
are probing this entire operation where there are multiple violations of both federal and state law.
00:12:08.780
Governor DeSantis has lashed out at the Republicans in the state legislature saying that the whole thing is a smear.
00:12:20.840
It is clear that the nonprofit in question, the HOPE Foundation,
00:12:27.060
has filed none of its necessary financial disclosures with the state.
00:12:32.120
And I believe that there are, contrary to the claims of the state administration,
00:12:42.180
a series of both state and federal crimes here.
00:12:46.380
Now, this comes at a very bad time for Governor DeSantis
00:12:50.600
because he has put forward the idea that his wife, Casey DeSantis, should follow him as governor.
00:12:59.300
You see, Florida has a two-term limitation on the number of terms that a governor can serve.
00:13:07.240
And, well, Governor DeSantis, who was ignominiously defeated,
00:13:11.520
I would say embarrassed in his presidential campaign in 2024, has aspirations to run again.
00:13:21.820
I'm not sure what he found about the last election that was encouraging,
00:13:25.300
but he's made it pretty clear that he intends to run for president again.
00:13:34.080
I haven't seen anything like this since Lurleen Wallace followed her husband, Governor George Wallace,
00:13:43.220
Why the governor thinks that his wife is qualified to be governor of the state of Florida,
00:13:52.560
President Donald Trump has endorsed Naples area Congressman Byron Donalds for this job.
00:14:02.880
We both spoke at the Collier County Lincoln-Reagan-Trump dinner.
00:14:09.180
And I can tell you he will not only be the first African-American governor of Florida,
00:14:18.800
When we come back, Colonel Douglas McGregor will join us.
00:14:22.960
He is a gifted military theoretician, a Ph.D., an expert on all matters pertaining to both defense
00:14:31.460
We've got a lot of questions for Colonel McGregor.
00:14:34.340
He is a legendary figure in our U.S. military for a tank battle that he directed.

They went after a guy named Roger Stone who's sitting in the office.
00:15:36.020
And I'll say this in front of Roger, he's no baby.
00:15:38.400
And right now he's cleaner than anybody in this place.
00:15:53.020
Here we talk politics, style, news, history, and occasionally food.
00:16:07.620
Today I'm privileged to have as our guest Colonel Douglas McGregor.
00:16:11.320
He is a decorated combat veteran and author of five books, a Ph.D., and the defense and
00:16:18.440
foreign policy expert that I respect perhaps more than any other in the country.
00:16:24.080
Doug McGregor was commissioned in the regular army in 1976 after one year at VMI and four
00:16:31.420
In 2004, Colonel McGregor retired with the rank of colonel.
00:16:35.320
In 2020, the president appointed McGregor to serve as senior advisor to the Secretary of
00:16:40.780
Defense, a post he held until President Trump left office.
00:16:45.100
He has a master's degree in comparative politics and a Ph.D.
00:16:49.080
in international relations from the University of Virginia.
00:16:53.720
Now, Colonel McGregor is widely known inside the United States, Europe, Israel, Russia, China,
00:16:59.420
and Korea for both his outside-the-box thinking and his leadership in the Battle of 73 Easting,
00:17:07.180
the U.S. Army's largest tank battle since World War II, as well as for his groundbreaking
00:17:16.440
I was reading a book by Alexander Coburn, Nobody's Idea of a Conservative, and I came across
00:17:23.320
this passage, describing Colonel Douglas McGregor as a gifted military theoretician who had led
00:17:30.660
an armored squadron and fought a victorious tank battle in 1991 during Desert Storm.
00:17:36.180
McGregor had long brooded on what he considered the outmoded organization of army combat units
00:17:41.760
into 20,000 men divisions and proposed the division's reorganizations into smaller, more flexible
00:17:48.260
units capable of more agile deployment and maneuver.
00:17:52.180
Forthright in his judgments when he's speaking to superiors, unfortunately, McGregor has suffered
00:17:58.420
the traditional fate of innovative military thinking, his radical and new ideas, exciting
00:18:04.340
fear and distrust among those at the highest level of our military.
00:18:09.480
I don't think there could be any greater compliment.
00:18:13.220
I'm going to bring him with us, and then we're going to cut to a break.
00:18:16.100
But Colonel Douglas McGregor, thank you so much for joining us today in the Stone Zone.
00:18:24.320
We've got a lot to cover here, but the most important one, of course, is war and peace,
00:18:29.800
what's happening in the Middle East, what's happening also between Ukraine and Russia.
00:18:38.500
We're about to talk to our guest, Colonel Douglas McGregor.
00:18:58.900
Joining us once again, Colonel Douglas McGregor.
00:19:02.320
This is the distinguished officer that I respect perhaps more than any other in the country
00:19:07.860
when it comes to matters of geopolitical defense and national security,
00:19:12.760
but also one who understands the politics and its limitations.
00:19:17.240
Colonel McGregor, the other night you texted me an interview with Secretary Pete Hegseth,
00:19:27.040
But he says that we, the United States, are ready to launch powerful strikes deep within Iran
00:19:35.460
I tend to agree with my colleague, Tucker Carlson.
00:19:38.860
I think war with Iran would be a horrific mistake.
00:19:42.560
So what did you mean when you sent me this interview?
00:19:49.080
First, you know, and I think you would agree with this,
00:19:52.140
is that Trump's instincts on a whole range of policy issues, not just foreign and defense,
00:20:03.640
And one of my frustrations with President Trump in the past has been his failure to follow his own instincts.
00:20:11.040
And right in his White House, with large numbers of people who are hell-bent to go to war with Iran.
00:20:17.060
And they seem to think that threats and bullying tactics are somehow or another helpful.
00:20:26.060
When you're negotiating with someone, frankly, Roger, it pays to say as little as possible.
00:20:32.640
And once the negotiation is completed, you reach some sort of decision, good, bad, or otherwise,
00:20:42.140
But I think President Trump wants very much to reach an accommodation with Iran.
00:20:48.660
So I would refrain from saying anything at this point that is belligerent or threatening,
00:20:54.260
because it simply drives away the people that you're trying to bring on board.
00:20:59.380
And that's a difficult thing to do right now, because we're asking the Iranians to accept life in a region
00:21:10.480
And that's a hard pill to swallow for them, and I think for large numbers of other people in the region,
00:21:18.000
Now, whether or not that appeals to us is irrelevant.
00:21:24.000
Whitcoff and President Trump have a very difficult challenge.
00:21:26.900
And I hope that what Mr. Whitcoff has said about events turns out to be the case,
00:21:36.900
So whatever we can do to be supportive of a positive outcome of an accommodation,
00:21:43.320
we should support that and encourage, I think, President Trump to listen to his own instincts,
00:21:53.080
For those listening to this interview with Colonel Douglas McGregor,
00:21:58.500
you can follow him at OurCountryYourChoice.com.
00:22:05.600
Look, I always thought, and I could be wrong about this,
00:22:08.900
that the sanctions that President Trump put on the Iranians during his first term
00:22:16.120
I mean, it's an oil-rich country, but they were not even able to sell their oil
00:22:21.200
to their Chinese patrons under those circumstances.
00:22:25.800
Therefore, it occurred to me that when Joe Biden and his administration
00:22:30.080
unfroze over $190 billion of wealth to go to the Iranians,
00:22:36.400
that it was inevitable that they would not only restart their nuclear weapons development program,
00:22:41.820
but they would also begin to fund Islamic terrorism again,
00:22:50.400
Could sanctions be effective or successful yet again in the new administration?
00:22:59.460
I think the sanctions in the past have been much less effective
00:23:09.760
to the point where everyone has found workarounds.
00:23:13.940
I mean, one of the things that we need to keep in mind,
00:23:18.940
is that the Chinese in particular have built alternatives to reliance
00:23:23.300
on the movement of oil and gas via the Straits of Hormuz by sea to China.
00:23:29.340
In fact, the Belt and Road Initiative is very much a part of creating a system
00:23:39.720
that we with our Navy cannot interrupt or disrupt.
00:23:45.320
and this is the problem with our tariffs and so forth,
00:23:47.840
over the last five years, the world has changed.
00:23:56.500
In other words, at some point, your sanctions are counterproductive.
00:24:03.500
which is one of the reasons that he's folding pretty quickly
00:24:08.840
He's now said clearly the automotive industry needs the trade,
00:24:17.040
I think we're going to see that with all forms of electronics
00:24:24.300
I just don't think he's being well-advised on these things.
00:24:27.120
And I don't think that we will get further by threatening and bullying.
00:24:31.240
I think we'll get further with more accommodation and recognition
00:24:34.900
that other countries have legitimate rights and interests.
00:24:39.420
We have had a bad habit, particularly with Biden.
00:24:42.920
I mean, his administration just cast any caution to the winds
00:24:47.240
and treated anyone else's interests with complete disinterest.
00:24:54.560
Colonel McGregor is the CEO of OurCountryOurChoice.com.
00:25:04.920
And look, I appreciate being corrected on the sanctions.
00:25:09.900
I'm not a military strategist, nor am I a world economist.
00:25:15.300
China seems to be cutting off the experts of rare earth minerals
00:25:18.460
needed in the production of automobiles, aerospace, and defense manufacturing.
00:25:23.800
I mean, what is the best way for America to respond to that?
00:25:29.920
I mean, the things that we sell most are things that China can easily replace.
00:25:34.420
Our biggest exports are agricultural products and energy.
00:25:40.960
And the only other thing that we export in great quantity is military equipment and bombs.
00:25:46.200
So someone put it recently in terms of the three Bs, bushels, barrels, and bombs.
00:25:53.680
Well, the Chinese can replace the agricultural and the energy output very, very easily
00:26:05.240
On the other hand, we're very dependent on the Chinese for a lot of the microcircuitry,
00:26:13.580
And, you know, this is something else that's depressing about us, Roger.
00:26:17.880
We should have built a rare earth refinery in North America a long time ago.
00:26:23.280
And right now, if you find rare earths, and I happen to be in this business at the moment,
00:26:28.220
and you extract them successfully, and we have a lot of rare earths out there, it's just
00:26:33.360
that it hasn't been profitable to extract them.
00:26:38.320
If you do that, you've got to send your rare earths to China or Kazakhstan, somewhere else
00:26:45.360
on the other side of the world to have them refined into the materials that you need for
00:26:50.820
your defense establishment and for every cell phone that you manufacture.
00:26:54.840
So I hope that if we learn anything from this, we need to build our own refineries, and we
00:27:01.240
need to invigorate this rare earth exploration and extraction in our country.
00:27:06.200
Probably the country with the most rare earths in the world, but they aren't tapped yet, is
00:27:13.500
So hopefully, we will have learned something from this whole business.
00:27:17.140
But right now, the Chinese are cutting off Boeing, cutting off purchasing any of our aircraft,
00:27:23.100
and everybody says, well, wait a minute now, where else are they going to get great aircraft
00:27:28.540
Well, we no longer monopolize the aerospace industry the way we did.
00:27:32.760
I think this is something we don't seem to understand anymore, Roger.
00:27:37.240
We had a huge monopoly on all sorts of technologies back in 1990, 91, and that gave us an enormous
00:27:46.480
That monopoly was eroded and then erased in the early part of this century.
00:27:51.580
So we no longer are in the same position we were.
00:27:56.440
It's not something that we should try to fight our way out of.
00:28:01.620
And we can moderate some of our positions as a consequence.
00:28:04.720
President Trump seems steadfast in his desire to acquire Greenland.
00:28:11.340
He keeps saying that we need to do so to bolster our national defense and for national security
00:28:17.940
How would having Greenland help the United States protect itself?
00:28:24.620
I think that President Trump was approached by people, particularly in the Navy, who are
00:28:31.380
quite concerned about the Arctic passage that has developed, because you can now cut your travel
00:28:37.540
across continental travel down to a couple of days, three or four days, because you can send
00:28:44.700
a ship between Greenland and Norway through the Arctic passage on the north side of Canada
00:28:53.340
and, poof, they're on the other side of the world where China, Japan, Korea, and so forth
00:28:59.740
And I think there has been a fear that we would end up in some sort of conflict in the Arctic
00:29:07.280
over who controls what and who has passage and so forth.
00:29:12.060
And, of course, the Navy has always been very bellicose and sees this as a justification for
00:29:22.020
And I think Greenland fits into that because the assumption is that from Greenland you can
00:29:33.680
I think what is required and what the president ought to do is say to all the nations that
00:29:40.200
border this Arctic passage, and that includes Russia and Norway, Canada, the United States,
00:29:45.640
why don't we come up with an arrangement so that everybody has passage?
00:29:57.160
You've got another problem because there's so much in terms of rare earth as well as oil
00:30:03.060
and gas products, energy products, lying on the seabed.
00:30:06.960
But everyone wants to rush out there and extract all of this, which is not an easy process.
00:30:16.080
We need to sit down and sort through this like adults.
00:30:20.140
This is not the time to figure out how we fight a war in a place like that, because the
00:30:25.520
war will sabotage all the productivity and development that we're seeking.
00:30:29.660
So I don't think we need to control Greenland per se.
00:30:32.960
You know, Roger, the Danes have been good allies.
00:30:43.900
Because they have much to gain from all of this as well, since they too are a maritime
00:30:52.700
As you know, I am an acolyte of President Richard Nixon, who was my political mentor.
00:30:59.500
I think one of his great accomplishments was driving a wedge between the Russians and the
00:31:04.840
Chinese, recognizing they had a long mutual border and centuries of distrust between the
00:31:13.300
I think it is how he secured the strategic arms limitation agreement with the Russians.
00:31:18.560
I think he is unfairly blamed for the threat that China poses to our country today.
00:31:25.440
The time that Richard Nixon brought them in out of the cold, they were a dirt poor, backwards
00:31:31.000
agrarian society with very little indoor plumbing, didn't even have electricity in the rural areas.
00:31:36.600
There was no way for Nixon to see that 30 years later, Bill Clinton would give them most
00:31:44.000
And he would actually sell them in return for illegal campaign contributions, some of our
00:31:51.540
Can President Donald Trump be equally successful now, because Biden drove them together, can
00:31:58.140
President Trump now be successful in driving them apart?
00:32:04.640
The case was very different when Nixon was president.
00:32:11.400
He had the good sense and the wisdom to recognize that it existed.
00:32:15.700
You remember back in the 50s, everyone saw communism as this monolithic force.
00:32:20.260
Well, Stalin used to refer to the red Chinese as red onions.
00:32:26.000
He said they're red on the outside, but inside they're really white.
00:32:29.520
And his meaning was the Chinese are really at heart capitalists.
00:32:38.440
And as far as China representing a threat to us, militarily, I absolutely reject that notion.
00:32:45.020
If you look at the Chinese military, I've seen it.
00:32:53.460
And the Chinese are preeminently about business.
00:32:56.160
They don't start wars, don't want to start a war anywhere.
00:32:59.820
And whenever they have had conflicts, they've lost them.
00:33:04.680
They've spent most of the last 500 years, roughly 340 of them, under foreign governments
00:33:12.780
I think that the Chinese are an economic power.
00:33:15.740
And we need to remember that for most of the last 2,000 years, China was the richest country
00:33:22.340
in the world, although some of my friends in India argue that India was actually richer.
00:33:27.240
Be that as it may, when we were very poor and backward, China was a flourishing civilization
00:33:35.000
I don't think that's going to change anytime soon, nor do I think it should.
00:33:41.580
But the notion that we are going to drive a wedge between the Russians and the Chinese
00:33:49.080
The Russians have all the resources that the Chinese could possibly use.
00:33:53.080
And the Russians still have superior military technology in many key categories, which they
00:33:58.060
have willingly shared with the Chinese that have helped China immensely in terms of developing
00:34:05.380
I think we have to treat them with respect and understand that they have legitimate interests
00:34:13.360
and that neither of those states won a war, least of all with us.
00:34:21.100
I want to thank our guest, Colonel Douglas McGregor.
00:34:24.420
You can find him at OurCountryOurChoice.com, also at Republic.
00:34:29.840
I want to thank you again for joining us in the segment.
00:34:34.720
I guess we'll be right back with just a little bit more of Doug McGregor.
00:34:39.400
But up next, keeping the live and alive with Debbie Nigro, sponsored by Native Path Collagen.
00:35:03.860
I just got some amazingly good news from my wife.
00:35:07.260
Late last week, my wife had what the doctors described as a cardiac event, a completely incompetent
00:35:16.760
cardiologist who attended her at the hospital to which she was taken by ambulance basically
00:35:22.660
told her that her heart was pumping at 30 percent, that there was no explanation for
00:35:27.740
this, and nothing could be done for her, that she should go home and get her affairs in order.
00:35:34.420
I'm happy to say now, having gone through multiple tests and seen a highly competent
00:35:39.980
cardiologist, I can report that all of that was wrong, and she's not only going to live,
00:35:47.980
So I apologize if I have been a little disjointed here, Colonel.
00:35:51.820
Tell us about Republic, this incredible online social media platform in which you have been
00:35:59.460
Well, listen, Roger, I think everybody in the future needs to get a second opinion, and
00:36:09.320
The Republic platform is a free speech platform that I think everyone should look at carefully,
00:36:16.020
and it's locally focused, but it covers the spectrum of news and events and people.
00:36:21.960
It's a place where you can find out who governs you and look at their decisions, and it's a place
00:36:26.980
where you can register your opinion and ultimately affect what happens at your level of life in
00:36:33.520
your county, inside your state, where you can contact any of the political leaders who
00:36:38.780
are responsible for events in your state, all the way up to and including the national level.
00:36:43.620
So I think the Republic is something, R-E, and we say Poland, public, is well worth your time and effort to examine.
00:36:54.720
This is very much, I've signed up just because I think it is extraordinary.
00:37:02.680
I mean, I really like X and what's being done there by Elon Musk.
00:37:05.840
But I think in terms of connecting you to like-minded people and with action in mind, I mean, legal action in mind,
00:37:20.480
Yeah, I think the easiest way to do it is to, you can go to re.republic.com.
00:37:29.800
You'll find everything that Roger's describing, and I can't emphasize enough the accuracy of his statement,
00:37:36.680
which is that this is a place where you can communicate across the country.
00:37:41.600
You will find like-minded people, and no one is going to censor you.
00:37:47.180
Now, of course, you know, we draw the line at Bulgarity, and we're not going to support, you know,
00:37:53.020
statements arguing for the overthrow of our own government.
00:37:55.520
But other than that, I think you've got pretty much free reign.
00:38:08.160
My great thanks to my good friend, Colonel Douglas McGregor, for joining us today.
00:38:16.220
Until we meet again, God bless you, and Godspeed.
