Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Corning.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
E'repe about to enter the arena and join the battle
to save.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
America with your host Sean Parnell. Good evening, Patriots, Good evening, America.
Welcome to Battleground Live. From Sea to Shining Sea and
everybody in between. Welcome on a Thursday. It's gonna be
an awesome show. We've got Joe Kent in the arena

(00:30):
talking about his brand new book, Send me Listen. Just
my name is Sean Parnell, combat veteran, best selling author,
humble servant of America. If you're watching this show for
the first time, follow and subscribe Battleground Live. This show
it's about saving this country and we need you in
the trenches and in the fight helping us do it.

(00:52):
Join the battle crew. It's fun. Also, like smash that
like button, It helps the show immensely. It gets us
one step closer to the leaderboard on Rumble, and that
is our goal. Ultimately, our goal was to save this country.
So I was driving my son into school today and
I turned on WDVE, which is a classic rock station

(01:14):
here in western Pennsylvania where I'm from, and I started
listening to the DJs and WDVE is the station that
I listened to growing up. It was by and large
a station that focused on sports and comedy. I thought
it was hysterical. I used to listen to it on
the bus. They used the DJs used to do all
of these impressions of Mike Tyson, Tiger Woods, politicians, Democrat

(01:37):
and Republican. But the show has really gotten political, and
not in a good way. They have fallen so far
left that it is just so frustrating. And I heard
them tell what they thought was a joke, and they
were talking about the RFK brain were story. I'm sure

(02:01):
you saw that that RFK mentioned in an interview that
he had a dead worm that was found in his brain.
And then these DJs started making a joke about the
irony now that RFK would have to take ivermectin. RFK
obviously a vocal speaking out against vaccine mandates and the like.

(02:25):
But they're making a joke about, oh, well, now, because
ivermectin is horsety wormer, Rfk's just gonna have to take that.
And I have to tell you, folks. First of all,
I turned off the radio station real fast, but it
just sent me. I've been clearly, I've been thinking about
it all day. It's been driving me crazy. People are

(02:49):
so unbelievably brainwashed, and I wonder, I wonder all the
time what it's going to take to shake them out
of this stupor. Obviously, ivermectin a Nobel Prize winning medication
used to treat hundreds of millions of people all around

(03:12):
the world as antiviral antibacterial properties, and the media at
the height of COVID when people were dying from the
China virus made it out to be some horse paced
horse deeawormer, how many thousands of people died needlessly because
they didn't take ivermectin because of these morons in the media,

(03:35):
by the way, and yes they're morons, and they used
their immense platforms which to spread disinformation which ultimately cost
lives and led to the vaccine mandate, which, by the way,
we covered here on the show yesterday that more and
more people are coming forward horrifically vaccine injury, with horrific

(03:56):
vaccine injuries. They've got members of my friends and family
who are really suffering after getting forced into taking the
vaccine as part of their work. And so we're gonna
get into that. We're gonna talk about the media hypocrisy
and whether or not we should forgive and forget or
hold those people accountable. The Democrats, by the way, they

(04:17):
see the writing on the wall. They're panicked and they're
gonna get what I believe they're gonna get dangerous. Then
we're gonna talk about Joe Kent in his awesome new book,
I Love Joe Kent, congressional candidate out in Washington. In
any sane world, a guy like Joe Kent, you know,
twenty years in the Green Berets combat veteran, would waltz
right into Congress no problem. He's the real dea with

(04:41):
the real deal. He's America first to the core. And
then we're going to talk about the Democrats and the
legal immigration and what their true intentions are, and that's
obviously getting illegal legal aliens to vote. And at the
very end of the show, we're gonna talk about Democrats
being the original gangsters of racism, because they are the
party of racism. We've been talking about media hypocrisy at

(05:07):
the height of COVID and how many people died needlessly
because of not just the hypocrisy but the outright lies.
Chris Cuomo, by the way, he has since come out
and he's talking about, Oh, I've got a vaccine injury.
And I'm not trying to make light of the vaccine injured.

(05:29):
I'm not. I think what these politicians and mostly Democrats,
but some Republicans too, and their allies in the media,
what they did was in Chris Cuomo, by the way,
is one of them, worked for CNN while his brother
was governor, pushed vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, It supported shunting

(05:51):
old folks into nursing homes where they died in great numbers.
And oh, by the way, we knew back then that
this virus disproportionately affected the elder lee. But Chris Cuomo
was one of the reasons why people took the vaccine
in the first place. He embarrassed people, He went after people,

(06:14):
He humiliated people, and used his platform to do real,
what I believe, real damage to this country. Listen to
what a huge douche canoe Chris Cuomo was at the
height of COVID when we needed him to be level headed. Listen.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
But the problem is, how are they going to know
who's vaccinated. You just said they showed the card. That's
not the answer. The answer is a vaccine passporty. Part
of the reason that you're seeing what you're seeing in
Florida is because of vaccine hesitancy, and an aspect of
vaccine hesitancy is politics, especially in your state.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Don't fouch you, Florida.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
We all know that was about. Do you feel responsible
for spreading a message where I'm not going to take
it because I don't care what Biden wants. Byron Donald's
not going to take it because he doesn't care.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
I wants.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
You think that's a good message for people to hear.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Well, the first thing is my message was never about
Joe Biden. The message is about me and my own
personal health.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
I'm not getting vaccinated because I don't want to.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
I want to read your words. I want to read
your words.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
I know you don't get the company off it's my
show not requiring their customers to wear masks anymore. The
unvaccinated are still being encouraged to but proof won't be required.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
See it's easy to see who.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Is wearing a mask, right, because either you got it
or you don't. But if you don't have one on,
how would you ever know if the person is vaccinated?
I guess they could tell you would you believe them?
So will all the unvaccinated just ditch their masks now,
because no one's going to be able to tell the difference.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Now where I live. So Chris Cuomo is clearly, as
I mentioned, a superducee extraordinaire. Chris Cuomo is just was
one of the worst vaccine bullies and purveyor spreader of
bullshit and misinformation at the height of COVID, more than
just about anybody else. It made much much worse by

(08:08):
the fact that his brother was governor and they would
have these little bro sessions where they'd spread misinformation causing
people to die and get a vaccine that clearly wasn't necessary.
But Chris Cuomo is singing a very different tune. Now
listen to him on Patrick bet David's podcast.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
I'll tell you something else that's gonna get you a
lot of hits. I am taking a what do they
call it, like a regular dose, you know whatever they're
trying to build up of ivermectin. Ivermectin was a boogeyman
early on in COVID.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
You couldn't talk about him.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
That was wrong. We were given bad information about ivermectin.
The real question is why everyone's gonna say Joe Rogan
was right. No, Joe Rogan was saying, yeah, he was right.
But that's that's not what matters. What matters is the
entire clinical community knew that iver met and couldn't hurt you.
They knew it, Patrick, I know they knew it. How

(09:06):
do I know because now I'm doing nothing but talking
to these clinicians who at the time were overwhelmed by
COVID and they weren't saying anything, not that they were
hiding anything, but it's cheap, it's not owned by anybody,
and it's used as an anti microbial, anti viral in
all of these different ways and has been for a
long time.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
From malaria for almost twenty years old. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
So, and my doctor who is now my doctor was
using it during COVID on her family and on patients
and it was working for them. So they were wrong
to play scared on that. Didn't know that at the time,
know it now, admit it now, reporting on it now, because.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
I think that's the job.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
The idea that, well, you were a vaccine proponent, Why
wouldn't I have been a vaccine proponent? Now there are questions,
Oh no, but I knew at the time, No, you didn't.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
What you knew was, oh yeah you did. Everybody knew
about ivermectin. Anybody that could think for themselves knew about it.
He chose, Chris Cuomo chose politically. Do you think if
the situation were reversed and Trump and Trump were still
in office today, do you think that Chris Cuomo, just

(10:21):
if Trump were still in office and Trump was pushing
the vaccine, you think Chris Cuoma would be pushing the vaccine.
Absolutely not. He absolutely wouldn't, which tells you that it
was a political miscalculation and that misinformation. Again, the media
likes to say that Conservatives are purveyors of misinformation, and
the Democrats like to say that we should be censored
for misinformation. But nothing could be further from the truth.

(10:43):
Anything the media and the Democrats accused Republicans of they
themselves are guilty of. That's the golden rule. We've established
that on this show. But one of the most vocal
outspoken people about vaccines has been RFK. Now to tell
you like that was great what he did back then,
but RFK is as liberal as they come. And again,

(11:08):
give credit where credits due. He spoke truth to power
when we needed him to. And I honestly believe that
if I was sitting around a table with RFK, I
share very little of his views, But could I probably
work with the guy. Maybe if I'm taking him at
face value, if I'm taking him at his word, I

(11:30):
probably could work with the guy. He doesn't seem like
an insane person, although I have to say seeing his
comments here on abortion with Sage Steele have me thinking
he's a little bit insane. Listen to this, but so so.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
In other words, keeping it as is with Roe versus
Weight having been overturned, and leaving it up to the
states to determine if and when a woman can have
an abortion.

Speaker 5 (11:53):
I wouldn't leave it to the stage, wouldn't.

Speaker 6 (11:55):
Write I would. He would say completely, it's up.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
To I believe we should leave it to the woman.
We shouldn't have government.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
Involved, even if it's full.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Term, even if it's full term, Okay, And.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
I think so.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Listen. Obviously that's a crazy position. Obviously it's out of
step with the vast majority of Americans. But let me
talk quickly about the election, Trump versus Biden. The Democrats,
these liberals, they are one hundred panicked. Why are they

(12:31):
panicked right now? Well, their guy is brain dead. Biden
is an animated corpse. They dip him in the Lazarus
pit every day. Every day, the Lazarus pit is less
and less effective. They can't have this guy on interviews
without their staff having to come out and walk back
what he says. They have no idea what the hell
he's gonna say. Half the time, I mean half the country,

(12:52):
in fact, probably more than half the country thinks the
guy craps his pants on a regular basis in front
of the media. You saw the video where anybody that
has kids sees him standing there like this and with
a vacant look on his face. And again, I just
worry about who who the guy on Marine one is
that has to share Marine one with him. If he

(13:13):
did crap his bands, that would be pretty bad. But
the bottom line is RFK with that statement, is clearly
trying to run to the left of Joe Biden, which
in turn will take votes from the animated corpse that
is Joe Biden. And yes, if you're paying attention and
you've got your ear to the ground like most of

(13:34):
us here on the show, do you'll notice that team
Trump is attacking our FK Junior. And they're doing that
because Team Team Trump, the Trump campaign, they are competing
for every single vote imaginable. It's going to be a
razor razor thin race. One independent vote, one conservative vote

(13:55):
for RFK is too many. So from a campaign standpoint,
they're looking at it like, we want to make sure
we got our people. But RFK with that statement on
full term abortion, I mean, Joe Biden and the vast
majority of Democrats aren't stupid enough to come out and
say that publicly, even though there is a significant portion
of the Democrat base that supports abortion up to the

(14:18):
moment of birth and thereafter. But it's an extreme position.
They're smart enough to know not to talk about it publicly,
Like ninety percent of America is opposed to abortion up
until birth. But this should tell you something, and that's
something is RFK clearly. I mean, it's a long shot
bid for the presidency, but he's trying to run to

(14:40):
the left of Biden, which means he's going to sifle
siphon votes away from Biden and also dementia. Joe is
collapsing in the polls, and they know, I mean, the
Democrats know their operatives know, the media knows that if
Trump wins, there is going to be some form of
account There has to be there simply has to be

(15:03):
accountability in order for this country to move forward. And
it doesn't matter what they do, folks, it doesn't matter
what they do. They've got Trump charged with ninety three
felonies or trying to put the guy in jail for life,
and none of it's working. The guy is rising in
the polls every single day. They're making a martyr out

(15:24):
of him. Because everyday Americans who want just just to
live peaceably with the government out of their life are
starting to see themselves in President Trump. And so President
Trump doesn't have to have a message to earn those voters.
The government is creating a message for him, and Democrats
are panicked about it. If you don't believe me, listen

(15:46):
to these political analysts on MSNBC wonder why Biden is
not just losing support with independence, but hemorrhaging support.

Speaker 5 (15:54):
I think interesting in this polling was more independence so
that they worry about President Biden in weakening democracy than
Trump fifty three percent to forty two percent. What do
you make of this?

Speaker 6 (16:06):
I find it shocking. Honestly, I can't. I can't, you know,
make sense of that number. I wish I could. I
wish I had some really great insight to it, but
I don't know if it's an outlier or not. Because
the other numbers with Independence and Biden are going in
the right direction, so that may be it.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
But also just one thing.

Speaker 6 (16:24):
I want to add on to what Basil said. You
know this trial's not on TV. You guys do a
great job reporting what's happening, but if there aren't those
images coming out of the courthouse, people feel like they
know this story. We kind of We've heard about it
for a long time, so it doesn't surprise me that
they're not interested.

Speaker 5 (16:41):
Well, thank you both so much for being here, Basils,
Michel Susan's Delpercio. It's nice to see you in that.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
So anybody with a half functioning brain knows why Biden
is hemorrhaging support with Independence or anyone that can think
for themselves. People see what little tyrants the Democrats are.
People are waking up. This is all of these Trump trials,

(17:07):
whether it's the classified Docs case in Florida, Judge Chutkin,
Jack Smith and DC Big Fanny Willis, Sloppy, Alvin Bragg,
all of these cases, they clearly coordinated with the Biden
White House. Clearly a criminal conspiracy, and people are starting
to wake up to that. Check this out breaking out

(17:27):
of New York. New York's Judicial Oversight Body has initiated
an investigation into claims that Judge Arthur and Goron met
with a high profile attorney Adam Leitman Bailey, who allegedly
offered unsolicited advice to the Trump case prior to a
major ruling. Bailey stated in New York and NBC New

(17:47):
York interview that he spoke within gore On three weeks
before the judge imposed a four hundred and fifty four
million dollar fine on the former president for asset valuation fraud. Basically,
there was no crime in that case. It was just
all completely made up. But even in Goren now is
being investigated. And what's astounding to me the media and

(18:09):
the Democrats, they're so out of touch. It's almost as
if they don't realize that Trump was president just four
years ago. When Trump was president, the American economy was booming,
we were energy independent, we were on a pathway to
global peace. Biden's president now, and people can't afford a

(18:31):
daily life here in America. Biden's a lying scumbag trying
to put Trump in jail for life. Under him, America
is in shambles. There's wars erupting on every continent. War's everywhere.
I mean, look, if you don't believe me, look at
the poll that just came out today. Okay, this is
just every day there's a new poll that comes out

(18:53):
that's just devastating for Biden. Nationally, President Trump is in
a much stronger position with his party's voters and those
that voted for him than he was in twenty twenty
compared to Biden. Look at Trump with independence an eight,
Trump thirty eight, Biden thirty. Look at the ballot ballot images,
Trump favorable fifty two unfair or Trump favorable forty seven,

(19:13):
unfavorable fifty two, Biden favorable forty unfavorable fifty nine. Trump's
also leading in the national popular vote. So every single
poll that comes out is good for President Trump. Now, listen,
polls only measure sentiment that's happening today. We still have

(19:35):
to get out and vote. We still have to show
up in great numbers, and I will tell you this.
There is something to the phrase too big to rig.
Will the Democrats cheat? Yes, they've been cheating an election
since eighteen sixty four. This is well established. We got
to talk about that, and we have to be unafraid
to talk about that openly because if we don't study history,

(19:58):
we're doomed to repeat it. And we can't afford a
repeat of twenty twenty. But the Democrats are going to
get more and more desperate when they realize that nothing
that they're doing is working. And the Democrats have been
all over the media today talking about how lawfare is failing,
how the legal cavalry is not coming, and by the way,

(20:21):
what does that tell you? The legal cavalry is not coming.
It's almost like they coordinated this from the very beginning.
But they're desperately hoping for some sort of outside event.
They're desperately hoping for someone to come in and save them,
but that's not coming. We've got to one hundred percent
make sure that even with these polls looking as good

(20:44):
as they are, that we campaign like we're ten points down.
We do not get complacent. This is all about saving
America and winning in November. Nothing else. Matters nothing. We
can't allow anything to distract us from that mission. Nothing.
It's too important. Got Joe Kent on deck. I'm gonna

(21:08):
bring him on right now. Joe, welcome, brother, welcome to
this show.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
Yeay Sean, thanks for having men. I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Good to see you. So for the members of the
battle crew who don't know Joe, which most of you do,
joe'sh a candidate for Congress in Washington's third congressional district.
He's got two awesome kids. He's a retired Green Beret
combat veteran. He's also a gold star husband. He's running
for congress. Now, Joe, before we start talking about uh,

(21:36):
the new book, your brand new book send Me, which
you all should go out and buy. To sup and
support Joe uh and support his amazing family. But what
do you think about all this crazy lawfare in the
State of America right now? How as someone who served
this country, did you serve for what you're seeing right now?

(21:57):
Did you serve for this?

Speaker 7 (22:00):
No?

Speaker 1 (22:00):
This is I mean, it's almost cliche to say because
it's been this way now for about a year and
a half, but this has been in our republic stuff,
And I spent the majority of my adult life overseas,
you know, spending time on the ground in Iraq, Yemen,
third world countries like that. And this is exactly what
regimes do. They lock up their political opponents, they use
the tools of the state against them. And that's what
we're seeing from the Democrats. I mean, whether it was

(22:21):
January sixth, or whether it's what they're doing to President Trump,
whether it's sending the FBI after your parents that show
up at school board meetings. Like if you would have
told me that any of this was going to happen
five years ago, I'd be like, there's no way, man,
Like you get a tinfoil hat on, like you need
to come downpially grass. But like it's our everyday reality.
I think it's up in people's faces right now. That

(22:43):
of course, I think we've noticed this because we're in
the news cycle, and you know, we're very consumed by
the day to day the back and forth. But it's
so blatant now that people I know that have no
interest in politics whatsoever, they'll come up to me and
they'll be like, I can't believe what they're doing to
Donald Trump. And these are people who who I don't
think really liked President Trump. I know some of them
did not vote for President Trump, and now they are

(23:04):
seeing what the state is doing to Donald Trump, what
the Democrats are doing, what the national security State is doing,
and the American people are fair minded and hard working,
and this just goes against every fiber of their being.
So not only do I think this is dangerous and
dark what the Democrats are doing, I really think this
is going to blow up in their face because they've

(23:25):
just come out and they've just said, Hey, we don't
care about the American way of life anymore, we don't
care about our system.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Well, Joe, you put yourself on the line, and so
did your wife, Shannon. You both served this country, and
Shannon was tragically killed in serviced to our great nation.
I half wonder what she would think of the state
of America as it's as it's happening today, Joe. But

(23:51):
I talked in the show yesterday about I did not
serve for this to have the national security state, the
police state turn its eyes and ears against the American people.
And what I'm seeing today is horrifying. And it's not
just about going after Trump. I mean they're going after
people that they just don't align with their political views.

(24:15):
And so now you're out with this with this new
book that talks about your your wife, Shannon's story, and
you wrote on X this is the story of war
and Shannon's share of our generation's long war. It's the
story of our family. But above all else, it's the

(24:36):
story of Shannon's love, her love for our family, our nation,
her brothers and sisters in the fight. So this is
from the brand new book, send me the Story of
a Mother at War. And so tell me, man, like,
tell me the catalysts behind writing this book.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
You know it. It was twofold when shann was killed.
Our sons were one and three, so they were really young.
They never got a chance to really know their mother.
So I wanted them to have something that when they
got old enough, they could kind of take in on
their own, you know, generate new questions, but really just
a way that on their own, whenever they're ready, that
they can get a chance to know their mother, to

(25:17):
know who she was, why she fought, how she ultimately
lost her life. But then I also really just wanted
the world to know Shannon's story. Something that Shannon would
always say to me while she was serving, and she
was killed in her fifth combat deployment. This was something
that she did professionally for well over a decade at
the highest levels, and she would always say to me, look,
I've been doing this for a long time, but because
women aren't usually in this line of work, it's really

(25:40):
hard for me to explain people to what I do.
You can say to someone that you're at Green Beret
and that they understand it right away. And so that
really stuck with me after she was killed, that you know,
she hadn't gotten the credit that she deserved, and I
wanted to make sure that the whole world knew her story.
And by telling her story, we're also telling the story
of a lot of other women who fought alongside of
and the global War on Terror, because you know, for

(26:02):
a while there technically women weren't allowed to be in combat,
but women were in combat the entire time. So that's
Shannon was not one that would you know, run towards
the spotlight, and she would not be happy with me
writing this book unless it was to highlight the service
and just everything that's good about our military and especially
our brothers and sisters in arms as well.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
That's amazing. Man. You talk about legacy and that's extremely important,
and there's something about, you know, having kids that makes
you start wondering what your legacy will be and the
fact that that's the reason why you thought about writing this,
and really the lack of understanding of it's a profound

(26:47):
thing that you just said that most Yeah, hey, I'm
a Green Beret and it's explains everything about what you do.
But you're right, Shannon operated at an extremely high level.
How does she talk about it? And so for you
to go out there and put this on the page. Look, man,

(27:07):
I got to believe that was tough for you, was it?

Speaker 1 (27:10):
It was really hard? Yeah? I mean it was. You know,
another gold star spouse I know asked me today if
it was if it was more painful or was it
more cathartic? And I was like, man, it was both
all at once. It was everything in is fifty to
fifty you know, So yeah it was. It was painful.
It was challenging, and I attempted to be as honest
as I as I could be. Because we had a

(27:32):
great marriage and supported me one hundred and ten percent.
I put a lot of stress on her with my
chosen line of work with me constantly deploying and serving
in the places that I did as well, and so
it was pretty raw. I tried to just kind of
lay it all out there, you know, the good, the bad,
you know, of just the struggles that a military couple
goes through when when both of us were, you know,
engaged in fighting at such a high level. But yeah,

(27:55):
it was really challenging to write. But I really had
to just keep our sons in mind the entire time.
And I think it's important. So you wrote about your experiences.
I think it's important that veterans write down their experiences.
It's something I never would have thought of ten fifteen
years ago, but now that these wars are getting memory hold,
I think it's just really critical for vets to write
down their experience, to share it with the world, if

(28:15):
nothing else, at least share it with your family. But
I think that's something that's really important for our generation
to do.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
Well, you only have you know, you know this better
than anybody else, but zero point four percent of this
country served this country during the longest period of war
in American history, and a very heavy burden was carried
by a very small percentage of Americans, and so our
men and women come home in many ways and can
feel like exiles in their own country. While grateful to
be from America and have people saying thank you for

(28:43):
your service, you can still feel isolated and alone pretty quickly.
On my unit, MI pa pltoon tragically to combat deployments,
but lost more people to suicide now than we did
for two combat tours. And I chalk that up to
the act that many of them don't know how to
come home. They don't know how to and I don't
mean that in a derogatory way. You can feel like

(29:06):
an exile in your own country. And so to your
point about writing those stories down so that people understand
the American people can help veterans carry that burden, because really,
truly it's it's it's a cultural thing, you know, bringing
our veterans home and making sure they come home the
right way. It's just so important, Joe, and I know

(29:28):
that you know that, but but tell me how you
how did you meet Shannon in the first place. How
does a Green Beret meet somebody like like Shann who's
also operating at an extremely high level in the military.
How did that go?

Speaker 1 (29:42):
How did that happen, Well, it wasn't your typical dating matchup.
We met real briefly in Baghdad in two thousand and seven.
She was actually giving a briefing on where some terrorists
were that I was trying to find, and I ended
up in the briefing. We talked for like ten minutes.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
Definitely, so I feel like you fell for her in
the briefing.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
I did look line in center, totally fell for I
felt with the pretty intel girl, which is you know,
classic Green Bay stuff. I meant to go back and
talk to her later on, but she the pace of battle,
she moved on and went forward to a different location.
I didn't see her again for several years. We both
ended up getting selected for a pretty elite special operations
unit and so we ended up in the same training

(30:23):
course together and doing some work together. So it very
much Our entire relationship and our family was you know,
really just it came from war. It was it was
found through combat. That was that was really how we
how we met, and then our entire time dating was
you know, in between training evolutions, and then our marriage
was in between deployments. So it was not traditional at all,

(30:45):
but it worked. Out well for us.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
Tell me, you know the best books in the world
are you know, true, unvarnished warts and all stories, And
you mentioned that that was part of this book for you.
I think that's so important, Joe, for of all, just
because you read so many World War two books written
by generals and they can seem clean, as if the
soldiers were just pieces on a chess board or something.

(31:10):
But as you know that that's that is not what
war is like at all. There's real, raw human emotion.
That's a part of it. So give me a sense
of I mean, without getting too personal, but some of
those ups and downs in the story that that the
American people need to know about. Because the way that
you met was incredible. But she had a high op tempo,

(31:32):
You had a high operational tempo. I mean, how much
time did you guys have to date in between all
of that stuff.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Not a lot of time. I mean by the time
we were reunited, I think both of us knew really
quickly that that we had found who we wanted to marry,
and Shannon knew that we know, we needed to get
busy having kids, so she had that all planned out,
and so things things moved really really really quickly, which
was good because you know, I was thirty five by
the time we met and got married and she was,

(32:02):
you know, thirty three, so we kind of had to
move quickly in that regard. But you know, I tried
to be as honest as possible in the book because
I was really just, for lack of better terms, I
was addicted and committed to deploying. That was my life.
I retired from the military, I started a career in
the CIA. Shannon was trying to adjust her life to
be a mother, to be a stay at home mom,

(32:24):
and to eventually transition out of the military to work
as a Psychologist's a rule where she could stay home
with the kids because she knew I was going to
continue to run at that page. That caused, you know,
a lot of friction. I put a lot of stress
on her. I mean, she basically did both pregnancies with
me overseas. She even had a cancer cut out of
her while while I was overseas, So there was just
a lot of strain. And this is kind of the

(32:45):
I think, the not one hundred percent typical story, but
for people who were in our line of work and
who fought these conflicts over the periods of two decades.
This is kind of our story where it's you know,
we go on these high intensity deployments and we find valor,
we find a sense of purpose, but then we come
home and we're just trying to piece things together. We're
trying to have some normalcy, We're trying to have some

(33:06):
time for our kids, but there always is that next
deployment to suck us away. And I know a lot
of guys who, you know, they never really got a
chance to watch their kids, you know, grow up, because
they were deploying and they were getting after it. They
were doing what they thought was the right thing for
the country, and they missed out on all that. So
I kind of just wanted to have some some reflection,
some perspective that I was given after Shannon was killed

(33:27):
on just what that op tempo did you know, to
our kids, to our family, and then ultimately to Shannon.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
Can you tell me about how Shannon was killed in
that tragic day and what that was like for you
during the notification process. I don't I'm not trying to
go somewhere that maybe you don't want to go, but
I think it's important for the American people to understand
what that knock of the door is like, you know,
and I imagine it's horrible for you.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
But yeah, I had a kind of a non traditional Yeah,
I did kind of non traditional knock on the door.
I actually was deployed as well. Our kids were with
my parents. I was on a was supposed to be
a thirty forty day trip with CIA. I was kind
of out in the middle of nowhere. I was not
in Syria with Shannon, but I was in another dangerous area.

(34:15):
I knew where Shannon was and she was in Mandage.
I generally knew what she was doing because we could
communicate on classified systems. I got back from doing a mission,
and the guy I was working for, you know, she said, hey,
can you come here real quick? And I thought I'd
messed up that up with that I was in trouble,
and he just said, hey, I'm going to tell you
just the facts that I know right now, and we
don't know much. There's been a suicide bombing. There's four

(34:35):
Americans dead in Syria. Two of them are females, and
there's not a lot of women in this line of work.
But we didn't have confirmation initially that was Shannon. So
we spent about the next hour trying to get a
hold of our guys in Syria to see if we
can get the casualties. I did. About an hour or
two later, we had confirmation that that Shannon was killed.

(34:57):
But I knew at that point that there was a
whole machinery taking place back in the States to notify
her family, to notify her mom and her dad. So
I had to call her shant in command and say, hey,
I've been notified. You guys don't need to send somebody
to my house because I'm not there. But I made
the decision pretty quickly that I needed to be the
one to tell Shannon's mom. So I had to make

(35:19):
probably the worst phone call in my life and pick
up the phone and tell my mother in law of
their daughter had been killed and that there was going
to be people showing up at her door, probably in
a couple hours. So it was kind of a whirlwind
the first month or so, cause I had to get
out of the middle of nowhere after that and get
back home and receive Shann's remains. And it's a lot
that gets put on you as a surviving spouse. Within

(35:39):
that first thirty days. You're kind of it's kind of
all a blur for really, lack of a better term.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
So I can't imagine what that was like for you,
but thank you for trying to give us a sense
of what it was like. It's horrible. I can't even
again again, I can't even imagine. And I know you've
talked about publicly about how Trump wanted, you know, Shannon's
unit and troops withdrawn from the region, but the generals

(36:09):
did not do it. Joe, you talk a little bit
about that. I mean that that makes me so mad.
It just makes me so furious.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
Yeah, So Shannon was killed one month after Trump gave
the order for US to withdraw our troops from Syria.
So Trump did with no president in my lifetime is done.
He said, hey, look, we are going to get out
of the Middle East once we defeat all the ground
the Islamic State controls. We're not going to stay here
for twenty years in nation build and chase these random
terracells around the desert. He actually defined his military objective,

(36:42):
which is something that we're taught, you know, in the military,
but our bosses never seemed to be able to actually do.
It's always murky like we're going to establish democracy or
some nonsense like that. But when Shannon's task force took
out the last village that ISS controlled, Trump said, you
know what, this is as good as it's going to get,
which I think was absolutely spot on. It was pragmatic,
and he said we're going to pull our troops. That
he gave the order for us to actually withdraw and

(37:03):
to pull our troops that Shannon's task force was supposed
to be wheels up heading to Urbiel and then potentially
back to the States Christmas Eve of twenty eighteen. Now
I watched all this happen in real time because I
was at the CIA, So I was reading all the
message traffic back and forth, and we had mid to
senior level bureaucrats from James Mattis who resigned immediately, all
the way down the Shannon command who were saying that like, no, no, no,

(37:24):
we're going to convince the President that we stay here.
And so that made this very confusing environment where at
one time, at one moment that the task force, the
military was being told you guys are going to leave.
The Commander in chief said so, which makes sense if
you're a military guy, you follow the orders of the
commander in chief, but then they're being told by their
actual military chan of command that no, no, no, we're going
to convince him that we need to be here. So

(37:45):
you guys need to go out and find some really
compelling intelligence, find some really compelling missions to do to
justify our existence here. Oh my gosh. And so I
saw this, and I was like, man, when you have
conflicting guidance coming down from hire and you're a guy,
that's when bad things happen. If you're going to be
in combat, you decisively need to be in combat. If

(38:06):
you're gonna leave, you need to decisively leave. That halfway moment,
that's where you see things happen like the incident that
killed my late wife and three other Americans. And then
the same thing with the Afghan withdraw, when you have
conflicting guidance and no one knows what's going on, it's
the exact same thing. But with President Trump, he was
absolutely thwarted at every single level by these mid senior
level bureaucrats. And I came in the army in ninety eight.

(38:27):
I served under Clinton, I served under Bush, I served
under Obama. I didn't vote for Obama, but he was
the commander in chief. It wasn't it wasn't even a
thought in my mind that someone in uniform would say, yeah,
we're just not going to do that. The whole attitude
changed when Trump came in. I mean, for a minute,
the military like Trump because he was letting us drop
the hammer on ISIS. But the second Trump said like, no,
I'm gonna do what I ran on. I'm going to

(38:48):
get him out of here. We had people that just
in my eyes, they were basically saying, I don't care
what the constitution says, I don't care what the American
people say. I know better. And now we see what's happened.
We can't get our troops out of those locations. They're
still under attack. Our guys are still eating rockets and
drone fire from Iranian back militias that we're paying. We
lost three troops just on the on the Syrian Iraq

(39:09):
and Jordan border just a couple of months ago. And
for what I mean, we should have been out of there.
We just had the Freedom Cocas a couple months ago
tried to put forward a resolution to pull our troops out,
and you had the vast majority of Congress, Republicans and
Democrats laugh in their face and say, no, we're not
going to pull those guys out of there, So are
we ever going to get out of the Middle East.
It's just it's absolute in sanity. It's infuriating.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
Joe. I got to ask, is this why you threw
your hat in the ring and are trying to run
for Congress to try to make a difference.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
Yeah, this was This was definitely the catalyst. I mean,
I had a chance to meet Trump and I told
him everything. Basically, I just told you. He knew it.
I figured he was just humoring me. After that, his
team reached out and said, look, we've we've kind of
got We've got nothing but screwed over by these adults
in the room, by the generals. We want to hear
from guys like you who've been fighting these wars. So
I worked a little bit of the Trump twenty twenty campaign,

(40:00):
and then when the election went the way that it did,
my congress woman who I voted for, decided to vote
for trump'smpeachment. But we took her down last time. Just
fell a little bit short in the general. But I
think it's really important to keep fighting and for us
to get a firmer control of Congress and the Senate.
I think the America first foreign policy and the America
First mentality and philosophy, I think we're winning over the

(40:21):
majority of the Republican Party. Some are coming kicking and screaming,
some are still dug in, but I think we're winning.
We just need to continue to advance that agenda because
we've seen what America Last is for the last four
years and before that, quite frankly, before President Trump came
on the scene, we saw that the Republicans weren't much better,
and unfortunately we see that quite frequently today. So we
got to keep fighting. We got to keep speaking speaking

(40:42):
truth the power. And I think it's really important for
vets who you know, actually know what it's like to
have a shot fire at them and to fire back
in combat, to actually be the ones that have a
seat at the table saying, hey, are we going to
send our troops to combat? You know, this is this
is why we're sending them there, and this is how
we're going to get them out. There's got to be
decisive action and a plan that directly benefits the American

(41:04):
people's vital national security interest.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
I could not agree with you more, Joe. I just
and I told people at the top of the show,
in any sane time in our country, you know, I
got to believe a guy like you and waltz right
into Congress and make a huge difference. But we are
not at you know, a standard typical time in this country.
I mean, I think that we live. We are thinly

(41:28):
balanced on a knife's edge, as you know. And I'm
so grateful that we got you know, men and women
out there like you who are continuously throwing your hat
in the ring to try to make a difference because
this stuff, I'm telling you, it is not easy. You know.
They they lie about you, They they they come at you.
You know, it's just unbelievable. It takes a lot of

(41:48):
courage to do what you're doing, Joe, And I'm grateful
for that. And I know we all are who are
watching and listening, so you know we're talking with Joe Kent,
the author of a brand books. Send me this story
of a mother at war, the story of his of
his late wife, Shannon. Joe, tell people where they can

(42:10):
they can get this book, and you all need to
go get this book. But tell people where they can
get it and how they can support your campaign.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
Yeah, pretty much. Anywhere you buy books, send Me is
the title. If you search send Me or Shannon Kent's
going to come up. You can grab it on Amazon.
It's in Bonds and Nobles, all the big bookstores. If
you want to support my campaign, Joe Kent for Congress
dot com is the place to do that. There's a
political report out today from roll Call that lists all
the vulnerable US House of Representative members, and Marie Perez,

(42:41):
my Democrat opponent, is the number one vulnerable Democrat.

Speaker 3 (42:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
So the only advantage she has over me, and this
isn't according to me, this is according to roll Call,
which is actually kind of a left leaning publication. The
only advantage she has over me right now is money,
because the Democrats are pumping millions of dollars into her campaign.
But I fight back with small dollar donors. So if
you can go to Joe Kent Forcongress dot com and
don't anything helps, five, ten, fifteen dollars, No donations too small?

Speaker 3 (43:04):
Absolutely, I mean that's that is the lifeblood of any
strong campaign or the grassroots. And you are, I mean
a top probably my favorite candidate. I mean, we need
guys like you on Capitol Hill. So I mean it,
Folks you're watching listening, do everything that you can to
support Joe and Joe. I appreciate you coming on man

(43:24):
as always. Do you have an open invite anytime you
want to come on this show, my friend.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
Thanks brother, I really appreciate it. Man. Thank you.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
All right, take care brother, We'll see us soon. Good here,
all right, bye. Yeah, that's Joe Kent. I love Joe Kent.
He's an extraordinary candidate. You should get his new books
send me you should support his campaign. As I told you,
nothing else matters but winning this election. We've got to
save this country. And then once we save this country,

(43:51):
there has to be accountability. We've got to stop these
radical Democrats. And then once there's accountability, we dismantled the
Democrat Party. And I mean that they are an existential
threat to this country and we've got to do everything
that we can to stop them. Okay, let's pivot to
We were talking about the election with Joe Kent and

(44:13):
how it's just critically important that men like him get
into Congress because one they know what it feels like
to have a bullet crack pot by their head. Those
people need to be the decision makers in Congress, people
who understand what war was like and will do everything
that we can to stay the hell out of fights

(44:34):
that don't directly help this country. If America's freedom is
not at risk, American sons and daughters do not need
to be giving their lives in support of it. Joe
Kent believes that. I believe that, But we need people
who understand what time it is. The Democrat plan. When

(44:58):
I talked about an outside event, Lawfair is failing. Their
candidate's a moron. He's more than a moron. He has dementia.
He shits his pants in front of the media. On
the regular people see it. There was a secret Service
report out. We talked about it yesterday on the show
with Rich Barris that the Secret Service said, hey, look
this guy wanders around the White House in the middle

(45:18):
of the night and poops himself. This man is supposed
to be our commander in cheap How we survive that,
I don't know, But I know for a fact that
the Democrats are panicked, and as they get more desperate,
they will get dangerous. And I've made it very clear
on this show that their plan once they pivot to

(45:38):
the election, once they realize lawfare isn't going to work.
Their candidate has, you know, putting for a brain. He's
not going anywhere. I don't believe they're going to be
able to replace him at the convention. Oh, by the way,
Biden doesn't want to leave. So he's got the enormous
power of the president. He thinks he's doing a great job.
He's not doing a great job. The American people know it,

(46:00):
but I don't. I think the Democrats are stuck, and
I think they're panicked. And so I'm going to bring
your attention to this House. Democrats today just voted unanimously
to give illegal aliens representation in Congress and the Electoral College.
And that means House seats and Electoral College votes will

(46:21):
be added to areas with the most illegals, including all
Biden illegals, the ten plus million people who have illegally
come to this country during Biden's presidency. Yeah, all those
people to be going to have representation in Congress and
the Electoral College. This is all by design. And of

(46:45):
course I told you months ago that rest assure the
Democrats will campaign on border security. Sure enough, they're doing that.
They're the ones pointing the fingers saying, look at the Republicans.
They passed up the length for border bill. Never mind
the fact that the bill basically codified an invasion into
this country. Never Mind the fact that it wasn't a

(47:09):
it wasn't an actual bill that secured the border in
any way. The point is we've had We talk about
elections on the show all the time. We talk about
foreign interference in elections on this show all the time.
But the truth is we've had foreign interference in our
elections for decades because we count illegal aliens in our census,

(47:32):
in the inclusion of illegal aliens in our population numbers.
And what the what these Democrats do, especially in Democrat
majority states, is they gerrymanner states. They draw favorable Democrat
districts that have a bunch of illegal aliens that are
a part of that buy and large. Every poll after
poll shows that illegal aliens, first time voters, first couple

(47:55):
times are pulling the lever for Democrats. Believe me when
I tell you, if the Democrats thought that these people
were going to come across our border and pull the
lever for Republicans, the border would be secured thirty years ago,
there would be a wall five miles high and five
miles deep. The Democrats used to be the party of
the working class. Well news came out today a surgeon.

(48:17):
Immigration has made the US economy more competitive by preventing
wages from rising more than they otherwise would have. This
is from the International Monetary Fund. So, in other words, immigration,
the illegal immigration into this country has hurt wage growth.
Who does it hurt the most? Blue collar working class Americans.

(48:38):
I come from a Union Democrat family. I come from
a working class family. I mean, that's how we got
our start here in this country. We can't betray those people.
Democrats used to be the party of the working class.
Now they're the party of the illegal alien invasion at
our southern border. Alien invasion hurts middle and lower income wages,

(49:03):
working class wages. You cannot be the party of both.
But for the Democrats, they don't care about the working
class anymore. The only thing they care about is keeping
and retaining power. And mark my words, Not only did
I tell you that they're going to campaign on election security,
they're going to make sure that illegal aliens have the
right to vote. Bookmark this episode if you don't believe me,

(49:25):
but they will. And with Republicans that we have on
the Hill. And by the way, I don't want to
paint with broad strokes. There are some good Republicans on
Capitol Hill. But I would put forth to you that
weak Republicans are dangerous because weak Republicans presents a weak target.

(49:50):
And if you are a weak target, all that happens
is you embolden your political enemies. They take a little more,
they go a little farther. They pushed the envelope farther
and farther, which is why you just started with hoaxes.
The rush, a crossfire hurricane, which blossomed into Russia collusion,

(50:11):
which blossomed into the Muller pro which found nothing, which
blossomed into Impeachment I, Impeachment two, the and then it
blossomed into the January sixth Committee, which found absolutely nothing.
All of these things were fake. All of these things
were lies. All of these things were hoaxes. This is
well established now. But now you've got the Democrats. Since
Republicans did nothing to stop this, now you have the

(50:35):
Democrats trying to put the Republican front runner in jail
for the rest of his life. Based on non crimes.
And you've got Speaker Johnson, who had I had high
hopes for in the beginning, come out and tell Politico
today that he will not eliminate funding for deranged special

(50:56):
Counsel Jack Smith. What good is it having Republicans in
Congress if they don't serve the will of their people,
of their base. Congress has the power of the purse.
They should be defunding. They should have defunded these illegal
political persecution persecutions months ago, but they didn't because Republicans

(51:23):
present nothing but a weak target. Weak targets are dangerous
because they do what they embolden your enemies in combat.
If you present a week target, your enemy selects you out,
picks you out, and attacks you over and over and
over again because they know you're weak. Remember my phrase,

(51:46):
the old adage that I say, politics is just like war,
but without the bullets, there are tactics, there's power. Always
present a strong target. But Republicans don't do that. In fact,
they end up negotiating, trying to negotiate with Democrats and
the hopes that it will allow them to be popular

(52:08):
in the media. They're desperate to ingratiate themselves with the media,
and I got to tell you, not only is that
the wrong tactic, but you should not be measuring your
success by that. If the media hates you, then you
know you're over the target. Then you know you're doing
your job. But Republicans they don't think like that. And

(52:33):
that's why you have Speaker Johnson telling Ryan Liza today
that he feels betrayed by Biden after learning he's willing
to withhold offensive weapons to Israel, he said. Speaker Johnson
says he hopes Biden's CNN comment was a senior moment.
Remember Biden went on CNN and said, I'm not gonna
give Israel arms to finish off a moss In Rafa.

(52:55):
I'm just not gonna do it. And this is, of course,
after Mike Johnson passed the aid pack, which I would
not have voted for I don't agree with. I'm saying
this to prove a point. I'm not saying this because
I agree with the aid package to Ukraine, Israel and
all that. I don't care. Yeah, I would not have
voted for that. But my point is you cannot negotiate

(53:15):
with Democrats and good faith. So let this be a
lesson to Republicans like Speaker Johnson and Republicans who believe
that bipartisanship is a good thing. On the contrary, sometimes
the American people send you to Washington to be a
road block to stop the radical Democrats, not be a

(53:37):
speed bump on their forced march to destroy this country.
You can't work with the new Democrat Party. They have
no principles. Almost every negotiation that you have with them,
every negotiation bad faith, and if they believe that something

(53:58):
will benefit them, they will stab you in the back
the second it happens. If you don't believe me, I
brought receipts. Listen to Joe Biden on withholding aid from Israel.

Speaker 4 (54:09):
A news this week to the extent that some of
the Democrats are saying that if because of Israel's settlement
policy that they would look at cutting off military aid
to Israel as a result.

Speaker 3 (54:23):
Of that, it'd be a tragic mistake.

Speaker 8 (54:25):
I strongly oppose Israel's settlement policy on the West Bank.
I've made that clear to BB when we're I was
vice president, I made it crystal clear to the Israelis.
But the idea that we would cut off military aid
to an ally our only true, true, ally in the

(54:49):
entire region is absolutely preposterous, just beyond my comprehension anyone
would do that. I made it clear that if they
go into they haven't gone on Raffa yet, they going
to Raffa. I'm not supplying the weapons that have been
used historically to deal with Ralfa, to deal with the cities,

(55:09):
to deal with that problem. We're going to continue to
make sure because you're as secure in terms of Iron
Dome and their ability to respond to attacks like came
out of you, the U and the least recently. But
it's it's just wrong. We're not going to We're not
going to supply the weapons and the artillery shells used.

Speaker 3 (55:29):
That have been used. Yeah, so there you go. The
takeaway is Joe Biden's completely full of crap. You can't
trust radical Democrats. They will stab you in the back
one hundred percent of the time. Republicans wise up. Okay,
Democrats are the party of racism. They always have been

(55:50):
the party of racism. And one of the greatest political
tricks ever pulled over the eyes of the vast majority
of Americans who don't pay attention is the fact that
the Demoocrats accused Republicans somehow of being racist, but that's
just simply not true. The Democrats divide us on skin color,
They divide us any way that they possibly can, and

(56:10):
they do that so that they can keep and retain power.
Remember that's the only thing that matters to Democrats is
keeping and retaining power. They do not have a political soul.
And when you do not have a political soul, you
get comments like this from New York Governor Kathy Hogel.

Speaker 9 (56:27):
Listen, young black kids growing up in the Bronx who
don't even know what the word a computer is. They
don't know, they don't know these things, and I want
the world open up to all of them, because when
you have their diverse voices innovating solutions through technology, then
you're really dressing society's broader challenges.

Speaker 3 (56:49):
The black kids don't know what a computer is, and
so of course the black community was up in arms
in New York, as they should be. They are all
these parody videos of black men and black women saying,
what's this as a computer? I don't know what this is.
Governor Hokel was of course forced to apologize, but the
fact that she thought it was appropriate to say something

(57:09):
that asinine in the first place, shows you gives you
a window into how these racist dirt bags think they
see They see blacks and Latinos as lesser Americans. That's
that's the basis of their entire voter ID platform. Oh well,
black people can't get voter ID. They don't know how

(57:30):
to get voter ID. They have said this, The soft
bigotry of low expectations is real, and it exists in
the Democrat Party. And I'll never forget the media covers
for them on this all the time, And I will
never forget folks that, you know, Joe Biden eulogized I
think Robert Byrd, who is a grand a Grand Wizard

(57:53):
of the KKK, And somebody online had said that that,
oh he was a grand wizard, and PolitiFact fact checked
him and the fact check was false. And then you
read the fine print of the fact check and it says, well,
Robert Bird wasn't a grand a Grand Wizard of the KKK,
he was a grand cyclops. So you always have to
read the fine print. You always have to read the

(58:16):
fine print of these fact checks, because really they're not
fact checks, they're just narrative protectors of the radical Democrat
media narrative. But again, Governor Hokel wasn't the only racist
in New York. Now, look, the New York is blocking
white owned businesses from bidding on the two point three
billion dollar renovation of JFK Airport. The contract approved by

(58:39):
you guessed it, Democrat Governor Kathney Hokeel. Kathy Hokeel is
exclusively for non white women own businesses. Believe me, don't
have to go to the Supreme Court for this, but
I can guarantee you that this is unconstitutional. Listen, what we.

Speaker 7 (58:58):
Didn't want to happen is to go back to the
commune and Jim, you know this, and people look at
us and say, well, what did you do? Known on
that project looks like us, known in that project represents us.
We did not want to have those conversations. And that's
why those tireless meetings that took place on zoom It
was mie what was it, Microsoft WebEx or whatever it was,

(59:18):
and it wasn't working in your bandwidth and you had
to turn off the camera or turn off the mic.
As annoying as it was, we knew it was for us,
for us, by us to make sure that this community
that we represent looks like us.

Speaker 3 (59:34):
So I just want to say, see the Democrats, that's
all they have. They're the original gangsters of racism. They
perpetuate and keep racism alive because it helps them keep
and retain power. But remember the arp pole that I
covered yesterday had Biden still winning the vast majority of
Black Americans, but Trump was at twenty five percent. Trump

(59:57):
continues to go up with not with traditional Democrats. So
when I said that there's something too too big to rig,
the Democrats can only cheat as far as the voter
rules will allow them to cheat. So if Democrats are
hemorrhaging support in areas that have always voted Democrats, like

(01:00:17):
Black Americans, which they are, Black Americans are leaving the
Democrat party in droves, Trump getting twenty five percent of
Black Americans game set match, nothing that Biden can do.
Can't even cheat to overcome that. If Trump is even
getting forty five percent of Latino Americans game set match,
there's nothing that Biden can do to overcome that. So

(01:00:39):
as bad as things are, and I do believe they're
going to get worse, especially as I said on the show,
especially as Democrats come to grips with the fact that
nothing they're doing is stopping Trump. Things will get worse.
But the silver lining is is that we are winning.

(01:01:00):
The fact that things are getting worse shows you that
things that they're panicking and that things will get worse
before they get better is proof positive that we're winning.
So listen, folks, keep the faith, stay in the fight.
This country needs you. Will the Democrats cheat, of course

(01:01:21):
they will cheat. They've been cheating since eighteen sixty four.
They have. Don't trust me, Go look it up. Go
look it up yourself. You'll see. When the Democrats tried
to beat Lincoln in eighteen sixty four, they used mail
in ballots for enforced mail in ballots for dead Union
soldiers carry those mail in ballots across state lines to

(01:01:43):
New York to try to defeat Lincoln. Didn't work. Lincoln
caught them put them in jail for life. So Democrats
have been doing this for a long long time. Anyways, folks,
my point is, keep the faith. Things are gonna get
worse before they get better, but they're they're gonna get
worse because the Democrats know they are getting their ass kicked.
