Speaker 1 (00:03):
Corning. You're about to enter the arena.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
And join the Battle to Save America with your host
Sean Parnell. Good evening, America, Welcome to Battleground Live. This
is the show where we kick ass and take names
in lockhorns with.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
The radical left.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
No, we never quit, We never surrender. From sea to
shining Sea and everybody in between. Welcome Patriots on.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
This extraordinary what day is it?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Time is flying by over this holiday season, on this Tuesday,
which is also New Year's Eve, Battle Crew, Happy New
Year's We've been on this journey together for a little
bit over a year, but the time has just flown by,
and I'm telling you I couldn't be more proud to
(00:55):
know you say this often. You probably all like, shut up,
move on, get on with the show. But without an audience,
there is no show, there is no podcast. And that
is why I'm very, very grateful to have you. Seriously,
Happy New Year. We're on the precipice of something I
think that is really special, very very special twenty twenty four.
(01:20):
As I spoke about today on The Clay and Buck Show,
which is, by the way, was an awesome experience. I'll
tell you about that in a second. But twenty twenty
four was a year for the history books. And I
really do if you get a minute, you know, take
a few minutes tonight and just take stock of where
(01:43):
you were during some pivotal moments in American history. And yeah,
I think some of this stuff is really going to
be remembered for the next several hundred years.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I mean it.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I think that we lived through one of the most
extraordinary years in American political history. Well ever, I believe
that at the core of my being, whether it's the
mugshot Day, which we've talked about, whether it's the July
thirteenth assassination attempt on President Trump, which we talked about,
(02:19):
which whether it was Trump going from a near death
shot in the face on a stage two being a
manager at McDonald's for a couple of days, which guess
what you guessed it We talked about that too, to
a second assassination attempt to almost everybody in the American media.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
For the second time in.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
A row, actually probably third time in a row, totally
discount President Trump. And to listen, I mean this completely.
It seems like what happened in twenty twenty four was similar,
it was different but also very similar to what happened
in twenty sixteen. It seemed like no one in the
(03:09):
media saw this coming, so I could, and I didn't
have a lot of time to prep for this show,
coming from hosting radio directly to here. This is one
I'm a one man band, so to speak, on this
show on the podcast, But in researching for the show,
(03:30):
I found probably five or six pieces of sound that
basically said Trump's campaign was faltering. This is a man
that will go down in flames and will live out
his life in infamy, perhaps even behind bars. And they're
saying this gleefully. So I mean, I'm serious, folks. This
was a week before the election day. This is what
(03:50):
these idiots with national platforms are saying on national television.
And it's also why we should never trust any of
these morons ever. Again, I mean, most people discounted this guy.
I even think that most conservatives discounted this guy. Not us,
not America firsters, not America first believers. I think we
(04:14):
saw things with clear eyes, you know, I think that
for most of us, the scales have been removed from
our eyes for some time now. In fact, I give
you the battle crew and mcgroin Nation and Nunchucks when
they're over here raiding the stream from Dan Nunnshow, and
whoever else who watches or listens to this show, I
(04:37):
give you all the credit in the world, because you know,
I feel like nothing that I say is a surprise
to you. I feel like much of what we talk
about we're on the same page with. And that's because
you're willing to think for yourself, which, by the way,
is an uncommon thing today in America. You know, I
(05:01):
look at school, for example, what my kids, and I've
got five of them, right, so lots of experience with
dealing with school. My issue with schools today, and I
mean this is a general statement. I don't know, you know,
so bear with me here. My issue with many schools
today is they don't teach children to be leaders. They
(05:24):
teach children to be followers. And of course, if you're
a leader, you ain't doing your job if you're not
thinking for yourself. And I feel like when I was
a kid in elementary school, middle school, high school, and
then again in college, I mean in college, it did
get progressively more liberal, but even when I was in college,
(05:45):
the vast majority of professors that I had while liberal
did the best that they could to keep politics out
of the classroom. They present the facts say decide for yourself.
More importantly, think for yourself. Thinking critically was really important. Okay,
this is what the history book says, Sean, But what
do you think about this fact pattern that was set
(06:07):
out before you? How do you think this person acted
at this moment in our nation's history. We're in our
world's history.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
But today.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
And I know this because I hear the kids talk
about this stuff. They're so focused on testing right and
studying what would be on the test, and in almost
studying to be able to take the test. And I
of course that's a strategy for doing well on a test,
(06:40):
but it does little.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
To prepare you to the real world.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Where As you navigate through this crazy journey that we
called life. You've got to be able to react life,
and life is a test in many ways, but it's
not like you can study for that test. In fact,
life is one curveball after the next. And in fact,
I talked about this on the Clay and Buck Show
(07:05):
today and for those of you who are just joining us,
I filled in today for Clay Travis and Buck Sexton
on the biggest radio show in the country. By the way,
I think they're on five hundred plus stations, which is insane.
They took the torch which was passed to them by
Rush Limbaugh so many of these stations, and the twelve
to three time slot was Russia's old slot. And I'm
(07:28):
not putting myself in the same category as Rush Limbaugh.
Definitely not, never will do that. Not in the same
category as Clay Travis or Buck Sexton. All of those
guys are extraordinary at the job. But let me tell
you this is as I usually say on the show,
ear muffs if you've got kids around. But no bullshit
(07:50):
assessment here. My life has been one crazy surprise of
a stepping stone after the next. Never planned to join
the military. I always had an interest because my dad
went to the Naval Academy for a time and was
always interested in military culture and was always interested in
(08:10):
the idea of testing myself. But it never became a
reality until nine to eleven and I joined. Never planned it,
but there it was. Then come out of the military,
had no idea what I wanted to do with my life.
Left the military, broke like penniless. I had a few
bucks I'm just exaggerating, but left the military broke and
(08:30):
broke in physically broken, not mentally broken. I'm a volunteer.
I raised my right hand to serve this country, and
I would do it again if I could in a second,
especially if this country needed me. But left the military
broke and broken. No idea what I wanted to do
with my life. Went back to grad school definitely wasn't
my thing. In fact, it was a PhD program. I
(08:52):
got accepted into a PhD program in clinical psychology at
Duquane University in Pennsylvania, intending to study ner trauma and
the effects of trauma on the brain and post traumatic
stress disorder so that I could help soldiers and their
families who were struggling with the invisible wounds of war.
At least that was my motivation. While all that changed
too when my first book came out. And I'm not
(09:14):
a writer, I'm not. I mean, seriously, I was a
mediocre student all my life. When I knew what the
grades that I needed to get to get in the
army branch that I wanted and to do the things
in the army that I wanted to do, well, boy,
I locked down my grades pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
But before that, mediocre every step of the way.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
If you don't believe me, just find my parents and
ask them.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
But writing a book was never part of the plan.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
And all of a sudden one day I woke up
and I just was, I mean overwhelmed with the sense
of duty of telling the story of my troops to
make sure that their legacy never died.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Because I would hear over and over from my troops.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
The American people don't even know what we did in Afghanistan,
and this was at a time where the nation was
focused on Iraq.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
You've heard me say some of this stuff before, of
course you have.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
So I just got just just I mean, became obsessed
with this. I feel like God set me on this
path too, just like he did after nine to eleven
and all the while coming home from the military and
adjusting to life. You know, the injury that I had
in Afghanistan was very similar. It was very similar. It's
(10:30):
been a long day. The injury that I had in
Afghanistan was very serious. I had a head injury. It
cerebral spinal fluid leak. So I had fractured my skull
on some way over there. And when I came back.
I mean I went through a year at the Traumatic
Brain Injury Clinic at Fort Trum, New York. You know,
I did physical therapy, I did occupational therapy, I did
(10:52):
speech therapy. I mean, you know you might be thinking, well,
why would you need that? Or I'm surprised that you
needed that, and well I did. I mean suffered from
a serious head injury. In the silver lining, if there
was one to be had, if for being blown up
three successive times, once by an airburst mortar and twice
by a rocket propel grenade. If there was a silver
(11:14):
lining to that experience, it was the fact that it
happened when I was young. It happened when I was
in my early to mid twenties. Now I'm forty three.
I still have some residual effects from that traumatic brain injury.
I still like looking at some of the studio lights
is tough for me. Some days are harder than others.
(11:34):
But for the most part, I feel like my brain
because of the concept of neuroplasticity in the brain's ability
to rewire itself, especially when young after trauma, I feel
like I've made a full recovery. So think about this
for me going from a time where I'm in therapy
for speech after a head injury in Afghanistan to hosting
the biggest radio show in the country.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Folks, I can assure you that this was never part
of my life's path and it was the people.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
And I talked to Commander Melanie about this before I
went live tonight. There have been people along the way.
I mean, obviously my families. Most of my family is
included in this, and I say most deliberately when times
were darkest, they just didn't abandon me. I mean, my
family was right there with me every step of the way,
(12:27):
supported me every step of the way. Quite a lot
of amazing people that didn't abandon me during some of
these really tough times either. And look, I'm not I'm
not saying. I'm just saying, folks, life throws curveballs at us,
and you can, you could do your best to prepare
for life, but you know, just like the enemy has
(12:47):
to say, regardless of how well you train in combat,
well life has to say and how life is going
to be for you. And I feel like sitting in
for Klay, Travis and Buck Sexon not on my bingo
card for life. Let's just say that, and you know,
being in that chair today was kind of an amazing
thing and I just feel like I'm extraordinary blessed to
(13:12):
be able to have this and all those people that
helped me along the way. Let me tell you, Wendy
Bell and Brock would not be sitting here doing this
show every day for an hour with all of you.
Certainly would never be filling in for Clay and Buck Sexton,
Klay Travis and Buck Sexton and Jesse Kelly and then
Wendy Bell gave me. That was the very first opportunity
(13:33):
to fill in anybody. But those two were there with
me from day one on this journey and never once
abandoned me. Buck Sexton, I've known him for a long
time before he was the host of the Clay and
buck Sexton Show. He never once abandoned me either. In fact,
the guy's the host of the biggest radio show in
the country and he's texting me from Spain or something
(13:53):
on a vacation telling me good luck. Hey, I'm proud
that you're my friend. And I feel like those people
in our lives who are there for us when times
are really rough. You know, I don't know, maybe there's
part of me that thinks that maybe I haven't.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Maybe I've not.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Been thankful enough to my family and my friends who
have really stuck with me. Maybe I haven't been grateful
enough to those people because as people, as human beings,
I think we are wired to focus on negativity, and
sometimes we get laser focused on the negative without looking
(14:39):
at Hey, be grateful for your standing in life. Look
around you. All these great people are there for you.
And that's kind of where I feel. That's kind of
how I feel right now. I'm kind of focused on
all those great people as we bring in the new
year that were there for me, and I'm grateful for
those people who were there with me even during bad times,
because that's the real measure. Sure of a friend, is right.
(15:04):
Everybody wants to be your friend when you're riding high, right.
I mean, man, when I was the Trump and Door
Senate candate in Pennsylvania, I mean, this phone didn't stop
ringing and texting of people who just love would love
to be my friend at that time. And then the
moment that my senate campaign ended, most not all, but
most of those people stopped texting. And that's fine, It's fine,
(15:26):
No hard feelings I get it. It was a ridiculous time.
People didn't really know what was true, what wasn't.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I get it. I have no hard feelings. But silver
lining for me is.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I was able to focus in on the people who
really mattered, who never abandoned me. And because of that,
it's given me a new perspective on life that I
think I desperately needed. So very grateful to have the
opportunity to fill in for Clay and Buck today. I
know that was a bit of a long intro smash
that like button, that little green thumb beneath the video
(15:58):
really helps us make the board the Clay and Buck Show,
by the way, before I got a couple of ad
reads here and then I'll get into the show, I promise.
But the Clay and Buck Show, I'm telling you that
is crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
They had a.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Huge production team, you know, normally with Jesse Kelly. Jesse
Kelly's amazing producer is named Chris.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Love that guy.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Obviously, Wendy bell Brock stars her amazing producer, Love that
guy too. He's also the champion of our fantasy football
team and he can go to hell on that.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
But other than that, I love that guy.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Normally shows have like one producer that a host really
really trusts. Holy smokes, every single producer, well at least
the producers that I engaged with and talked with. The
executive producer of Clay and Buck Show worked with Rush
Limball for twenty two years. Can you believe that the
show's senior producer worked with Rush Limball for seventeen years?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Can you believe that? Is that not insane to me?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I mean, my dad used to drive me around everywhere
and talk about Rustling inval I'd hear him on the
radio all the time as a kid, I said this
on the show this morning, Who the hell is this
Rush guy?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
And who the hell names your kid? Rush? Well, now
of course I know who he is, and who.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Would have thought that this where, this is not even
have an opportunity like this, even if it only happens
one time.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I'm grateful to God for this experience. Can you believe that?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I So, this is all the stuff that's on my
mind going into the new year, trying to evaluate the
person that I want to be. Obviously, Gilmaway is going
to be the same person, but every day, my personal
philosophy is every day I try to be a little
bit better than who I was the day before.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Every day I don't compete.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Really, I'm competitive, Yes, I'm very very competitive, but I
don't compare myself to other people who are in my shoes.
Well that's not necessarily true. Sometimes I do, but I
stop myself quickly because that's a pathway to unhappiness. And
the only person that I'm going to compare myself to
is who I was yesterday and again as we go
into the new year. This is the stuff that I'm
(18:05):
thinking about because I want twenty twenty five to be
better than twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I just do.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
And I think part of being better is having the
ability to look internally, have an internal barometer, be honest
about who you are, what you need to improve, what
you can do better. Being capable of doing a self
audit is I think really important. And so I I mean,
(18:33):
Commander Melanie would probably tell you that I do that
too much. In fact, I think I know she would
tell you that I do that too much. But it's
really the only way I know. And that's really what
I'm thinking about now as we prepare for the ball drop.
So got a huge show for you today, a huge podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I tell you a quick.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Personal story about one of my soldiers here in a second.
And I know I'm kind of off on a tangent today,
but what's on my mind, and this is why we
do the podcast to talk about spend this time together
almost as a big battle crew family.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
So listen.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I'm sure that you Actually I'm gonna come over to
the live chat and I'd like to get your feedback
here because again, all of these things are on my
mind at the end of the year, and you know,
I'm kind of free wheeling here and I'm kind of
being an open book here to give you a window into.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
To my mindset on a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
But let me ask you all a question, and this
is gonna If it's too personal, fine, don't don't answer.
But let me ask you all a question. Do you
have regrets? Do many of you all have regrets? And
do you have regrets in your life, in your past,
things that you wish that Damn, I wish that I
had a mulligan on that, Like I wish I had
(19:52):
a do over on that.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Let me know.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I mean, of course, of course I have I have
regrets many of course. Hey, thank you all for sharing
this stuff with me folks, Regina, yes, glow, yes, okay, George, Yep, yep, yep,
yep okay.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
People saying who doesn't. Well that makes me feel good.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
And hey, listen, I see you, Wiser say, I say
thank you for a wonderful show bringing us truth in
common sense. God bless you in the Battle Crew family.
In the new year, Trump won twenty twenty five, You
just reminded me something, Wiser. I'll get back to their
regrets thing in a second, but thank you for the
rumble rant tip one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
We get goes right back into the studio.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
But yes, Trump won twenty twenty five. I have this
video of Commander Melanie and I look at all these
people responding to the to the regrets thing.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Everyone's saying, yes, who doesn't.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I have this video of Commander Melanie on this like
this kind of paratrooper type ride in Delaware at Funland
in Delaware, right on the beach to the kids there,
and we're like whipping around in this circle. And this
was back just after twenty twenty when it was like
still kind of like I don't know, I mean, we
never felt like this, but there were many conservatives that,
(21:12):
oh he can't say this, So whipping around in this
paratrooper ride and Melanie is screaming trump won as we
fly around.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
In a circle.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
This is right after twenty twenty, just whipping around all
these libs in Delaware, just whipping around. Melanie's screaming Trump one,
Trump one. From the top of me. Is this woman not?
Is this she's definitely wife material?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Is she not? Is imagining her like my wife? Is
whipping around Trump one?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Melanie says, boy, you shouldn't hold anything back, which she
lets loose.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Okay, but let me get back to the Thank you
wiser for that.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
No, I see you, g Fontes, thank you, thank you,
my friend for the rumble rants tips. He said, I
don't regret the things that I've done that failed, but
regret the things that I've not done that may have succeeded.
Wise words, Gief Fontes, my friend, I want to tell
you about it. It's kind of a it's a regret
that I have, Yeah, a regret. I had a soldier.
(22:18):
His name was Jeff Hall, and I love that guy.
It was just like a hell of a soldier, just
like a soldier soldier. And he also loved top shelf stuff.
So We had this like Harley Davidson that he wrote everywhere,
had arm tattoos and everything, drank top shelf whiskey.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
He just liked very nice things.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
He had this like hardcore, awesome alienware laptop. And I
didn't know what alienware was back then, but I guess
it's like a video gaming laptop. You know, when you're
out in the middle of nowhere, hey, having a video
game to play.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
It's kind of a cool thing.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
We were literally out in the middle of nowhere when
we were stationed in Afghanistan. We were watching Band of
Brothers because, as you know, this is Band of Brothers
time for the family here at Fort Parnell. Watch it
the day after Christmas. We try to finish it by
New Year's Day. They were watching on Band of Brothers
with what's called a CDs drop, basically parachute dropping food
(23:16):
to soldiers who are trapped behind enemy lines. But that
was my unit for four hundred and eighty five days.
We were surrounded by the enemy on all sides out
in the middle of nowhere, the mountainous border region between
afghan and Afghanistan and Pakistan. They would fly this big
C one thirty overhead and they drop our food on
these little palettes right, and it would you'd see the
(23:38):
parachutes pop out there and if they look, sometimes the
wind caught them the wrong way and the enemy would
get our food and our resupply, and that would mean
we really have to be careful what we ate for
a week, or we'd beating mrs for a week. But
Jeff Hall, because he was I mean he was a ranger,
he was also a pathfinder. He would go, he'd coordinate
(24:01):
the CDs drops, so he'd be out in the LZ
communicating with the c one thirty marking the landing zone,
trying to give a target point for the parish, all
this stuff, and he'd be responsible for all that. It
was very very high speed, highly trained guy. And we
were on this mission in late two thousand and six.
We had taken i mean four hundred and eighty five
(24:24):
days of combat. My base had taken over four thousand rockets.
And those are indirect fire attacks. So if you remember
Band of Brothers where there's the Battle of the Bald
Season they're getting pounded with artillery, that's kind of what
they went through.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Was far far worse. Living in those fox holes.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
No cold weather, gear, freezing or asses off getting pounded
with German artillery every day.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
That was hell.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
We got pounded with artillery every day too, But at
least I had a bed and a pillow to sleep in.
Now that doesn't mean a hey rocket can land on
your head while you're sleeping, but at least you're going
to be comfortable in the meantime, or comfortable ish as
it goes when you're in the middle of nowhere in Afghanistan.
So we got tasked with this mission to find all
these rocket teams, hunt them down, and kill them. And
(25:06):
we got that mission in late November, well within five
minutes of being on that mission. My opatun was, of
course we ran point for everything Pittsburgh Plumbers says, and
what is Band of Brothers a movie? Band of Brothers?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Pittsburgh is the best mini series of all times. If
you have Netflix, it's for free on net It's it's
right there on Netflix. It's the best World War two
mini series of all time. It's largely regarded as that
as well, by not just me, but by everybody. But
we watch it because it gives the kids a sense
of what it's like to be in the infantry. So anyways,
(25:47):
we go, we're on this mission, and within two seconds
of hunting down these guys, we see these like al
Qaeda type guys, clad and all black had uh you know,
bdu like camouflage, woodland camo chest racks where they carried
all their ammunition and stuff in AK forty sevens. They
run out from the wadi system to our left, and
a wadi system is like a canyon right or a callvert.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
They run out.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
There's five of them there waving their AK forty sevens
and screaming at us and doing us all this other stuff.
We're on patrol with the Afghan National Army and Marines
are embedded with the Afghan National Army to train them,
and so they're up on the high ground. Michaeltoon's down
in the low ground. Well, the Afghan National Army sees
these guys waving these AK forty sevens and screaming, and
they turn around and they take off running. Well guess
(26:31):
what the Afghan National Army did. The Afghan National Army
went running after them, and the Marines who were embedded
among them, you could hear them yelling no stop stop,
sensing what we all sensed, and that was we were
about to be very likely baited into an ambush, that
(26:51):
they had something in that calvert that was not going
to be good for us, And sure enough, that's exactly
what happened. The marine first lieutenant who was with the
Afghan National Army at that point, got shot in the
pelvis right away, and every member of the Afghan National
Army on that ridge line who charged after those Al
(27:12):
Qaeda insurgents, those rocket teams got pinned down and cut
off and surrounded by the enemy. And the problem was
is that, I mean, obviously, being trapped and pinned down
by the enemy is a really bad, shitty thing.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
That's bad in and of itself.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
But what was really bad is that we had a marine,
a US marine up there, who was shot in the pelvis,
and what we had gotten word of is that his
foremoral artery might have been nicked. And that's not a
good thing, obviously, And so I asked my battalion commander
to send my platune in to get him out.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
And so we went in.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
We drove headlong into that kill zone, got attacked, had
two guys shot in the head on that patrol.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Both of those guys stayed in the fight.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
By the way, I think I told some of you
all this story before, but had to evak are wounded,
went back into the kill zone, couldn't get to this
marine in trucks, so it pulled back out of the
kill zone, consolidated, reorganized, focus on evacuating all of our wounded.
Jeff Hall, my third squadalier, volunteers to go after this
(28:18):
marine and take his squad with him. Nine people fight
through two enemy lines to get.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
To this guy.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
And Jeff Hall was what they would call like a
medically trained combat lifesaver. So he takes his squad up
this hilltop and he gets to the top of the
hill and he does fight through two hostile enemy lines,
gets to this marine. He administers first aid somehow stops
(28:45):
the bleeding after being shot in the hip. He guides
in this Blackhawk helicopter with a Jungle penetrator.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
But not before to Apache helicopters.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Okay, these are our attack helicopters were on station attacking
the enemy and try to keep the enemy off of us.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Not before both hear me.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Now, both of those apaches took incoming fire, took bullets
to their haull and had to withdraw from the station.
So all of this happened, Jeff's able to get this
black Hawk helicopter in with a jungle penetrator.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Which is basically a litter where you would put a casualty.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Imagine, you know, somebody sitting in the back of an
ambulance or something that's like a litter, dangling at the
end of a big long rope that they lowered down
from this helicopter that's called a jungle penetrator, and then you've.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Got these straps that go over the casualty's chest.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Well, Jeff Hall is surrounded by the enemy, somehow gets
this black Hawk helicopter and then remember he's a pathfinder
and he's trained to do this stuff, and gets this
jungle penetrator in, gets this marine loaded up, and we
watched this bird fly away with this big dangly rope
in this litter, this marine hanger. I mean, it's absolutely unbelievable.
And Jeff Call comes down smoking a cigarette and he goes, sir,
(30:00):
I see that look in your eye. Don't even put
me in for an award. He's like, because it ain't
gonna work. I'm just doing my damn job. So that's
the kind of guy that Jeff hall is and so
we get home after sixteen months of Afghanistan, and he
and I were close, you know, you go through something
like that, you know, I was close with a lot
of my guys, even to this day. I was just
(30:21):
talking to my second squad leader yesterday, who actually lost
to Brock by the way, in this fantasy football finals.
But Jeff Paul and I after I got back, got
into some stupid fight about something. You know, I don't
(30:41):
even remember what the hell it was about, just some
stupid military bullshit. I don't I couldn't even tell you
to this day what it was about. And we never
really talked ever again until he got orders to go
(31:02):
back to Afghanistan, and I couldn't. I was non deployable
because of my head injury. I was going through rehabit
in the process of being put out of the Army.
But I remember standing on the flight line because I
wanted to be there for my troops as they went
back into the fight that they just barely survived. Sixteen months,
nine months off and then back for over fifteen months.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Absolutely ridiculous what the.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Army put us through, which, by the way, this is
part of the reason why I'm glad that heg Sat
is going to be our new Secretary of Defense. That
kind of crazy shit has to stop. But I remember
shaking his hand and saying, good luck, You're gonna be great,
take care of your men, and he said thanks, sir,
shook shook his hand, and he went and boarded that
that that that that SEE one third that that civilian
(31:45):
hel helica, that's civilian aircraft to take him to Kuwait
where he gets on to SEE one thirty goes back
to Afghanistan. He deplored to Wardak Province and on June first,
two thousand and nine, he was killed. His truck ran
over a devastating improvised explosive device and killed everybody in
that truck.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
But the gunner. And I look back on that.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
I was talking to Melanie about this today and for
whatever reason, you know, I've sup as you go through
life and you forget some of this stuff, right, But
something that I saw on Band of Brothers yesterday as
we watched this, jarred that memory in me, and I
told Melanie this morning, I'm like, man, I really regret this.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
This is this was a really stupid fight.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
And now I'll never have the opportunity to really make
it right or talk to him ever.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Again, life is short. You know.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
The only thing that we're guaranteed is right the second.
You know, we're not guaranteed tomorrow. And so you know, again,
I'm sorry to go off on a tangent with this stuff,
but this is all the stuff I'm thinking about going
into into the new year, and hopefully I learned from
this and it makes me a better person. And that's
(33:02):
why when I see these stories like six billion dollars
to Ukraine, this is of course the Biden administration announcing
a two point five billion dollar weapons aid package to
Ukraine in conjunction with Janet Yellen announcing, you know, a
three point five billion dollar aid package to Ukraine from
the US Treasury, over six billion to Ukraine in Biden's
(33:24):
last in the twenty twenty one days out before Trump
is sworn in.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
It just pisses me off so much because it feels
like we're all like we're making the same mistakes that
we have made for the last twenty years, mistakes that
put Jeff Hall in a place to get killed, that
forced him to go back to Afghanistan after sixteen months.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
By the way, four hundred and eighty five days. Try
to wrap your mind around how long that is? So
easy company in band of brothers, they jump into Normandy
and they fight to Hitler's eagles nest in less time
than four hundred and eighty five days. That's how long
we were in Afghanistan. Sixteen months in a row. So Jeff
(34:13):
Hall comes home as a new baby, is a new
baby girl name named Audrey, and gets married to an
amazing woman called Alison, and is with his baby for
nine months. And the Secretary of Defense at the time,
which I think was Rumsfeld, turn around, send him right back.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Hell, it might not have been Rumsfeld. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
It might have been Gates or somebody like that. But
no one in the Department of Defense thought that maybe
we shouldn't send a unit that had been home for
only nine months less than a year, send him back
over there. Think that, guys, after sixteen months of heavy
combat might be fatigued. You think that that might be
an anti war fighter position. Yet here we are six
billion dollars sending right to Ukraine in a war that
(34:52):
will be nothing but bloody, a bloody stalemate. And oh,
by the way, here we are sending all this money
to Ukraine when you have Western North Carolina still in shambles.
People were sharing heartbreaking video out of Western North Carolina.
This is a national scandal. I mean, I guess FEMA's
(35:15):
on the ground there now, but they're not doing a
whole lot. I mean, you talk, you look at some
of the testimony videos from the people of North Carolina
who are still suffering to this day from Hurricane Helen.
I mean, many people have not even seen FEMA or
think that FEMA is not helping them at all. And
(35:35):
so here we are sending six billion to Ukraine and
not even helping our own people. Or how about the
people of Maui in Hawaii. We covered that extensively here
on this podcast when it happened, extensively, relying heavily on
survivor testimony from local news coverage, how people felt the.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Government was doing. They didn't feel good about it.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Seven hundred bucks, seven hundred bucks maybe a little bit
more in Western North Carolina. That is supposed to replace
everything that these people lost, and yet here we are
show me tell me what the moral justification is Republicans
who are okay with this bullshit? Because I know there
are plenty of you in Washington. Where's the moral justification
for this when you have Americans here that are suffering
(36:20):
legitimately suffering from natural disasters? Or how about in the
year of twenty twenty four, homelessness in this country increased
at a rate not seen before in a very long time.
It's at an all time high right now under Joe Biden.
Show me the moral justification for sending six billion dollars
to a country that's not even technically our ally. This
(36:46):
is why I'm so passionate about this speaker's stuff.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
I know that many of you all.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Look I am not. I am as conservative America first
as you get. I think you all know that about me.
But I don't want to squander two years of.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
A Trump presidency. I don't. We did this in sixteen.
Republicans stabbed him in the back. Paul Ryan and the
rest of the republic Republicans from the cut from the
same cloth.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
I'm tired of this. We cannot have a repeat of
the past where Republicans gain power and we fail to
wield it. So is Mike Johnson perfect, Absolutely not. But
there's no one else. There's no one else. There's not
a consensus candidate that's gonna just go into emerge. Jim Jordan.
(37:42):
I love Jim Jordan, the Farah in the House of Representatives.
I'd be voting for Jim Jordan all day long. I
love that guy. But even I think Jim would tell
you I'm more effective on judiciary, and he's probably right
investigating the Biden crime family syndicate, questioning and holding to
a holding to a cat all these criminals within our
deep state. I actually like Jim Jordan in that role too,
(38:04):
And I think you tell you the same thing. Maybe
I don't know, I'm just speculating. Trump endorsed Mike Johnson.
Mike Johnson came out yesterday and said he has the votes.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
I mean, we'll see.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
I broke down the math for you all yesterday. Go
to the thirty one minute mark of the show yesterday
where I break down all the math. But Speaker Johnson
can only afford to lose four votes. We's got Massy's
not going to be voting for him. I think Victorious Sparts,
a Republican congresswoman, is probably not going to vote for him,
or is at least looking to maybe vote for somebody else.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Well, that's two.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
You need a solid majority of people who name you
by name in order to win, and that numbers two eighteen,
so you can only.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Afford to lose a few with four hundred and thirty
four members in the House.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
And if you don't, and here's the reason, right, Okay,
listen to me on this. I know many of you
all probably I don't know if you all agree or not,
but like to me, I look at it like this,
if we are to say that President Trump, a president
is entitled to his cabinet and and and by the way,
(39:15):
I don't like the whole media gas lighting of oh
are we going to.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Vote for Pete or not? Oh my gosh, is Cash
Betell going to have the votes or not? I think
this is media gas lighting.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Because look at Biden, Pete butt, keg keg and and
all of these moronic Biden cabinet appointees who have no
experience whatsoever. All of them got some Republican votes. So
don't tell me that Pete Hegseth isn't qualified. Don't tell
me that Cash Hotel is not qualified. Don't tell me
that Tulca Gabbard and rfk aren't qualified. A president is
(39:51):
entitled to his cabinet. Let me ask you, folks, I
really want to ask you all this question because maybe
I'm wrong, and this is something. But I personally believe
that a president is entitled to his cabinet.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Do you believe that. I respect the Constitution, I respect
the Senate's role of advice and consent. I respect that.
Nowhere in that phrase is obstruct advice consent.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
I respect that, But I just do believe the Democrat
or Republican if the elections on the up and up,
and a president wins an election, well he's entitled to
the advisors that he wants, right, So so of course,
of course, so lots of yes is here, So let
me let me also ask you this then, so and
(40:38):
tell me if I'm wrong, and and Shells bells one percent. Absolutely,
a leader needs his team. I agree, I agree in Boston,
Boston says I couldn't agree more. Sean, it's bs whether
her own Senate asses are doing fire for yet fire
for effect, dropping some f bombs. Thank you for your Canador,
(41:01):
my friend. Okay, So, if we agree that a president
is entitled to his cabinet, a leader needs his team.
If Trump endorses Mike Johnson first speaker. Would that same
logic not apply Trump endorsed Speaker Johnson. Trump has a mandate.
(41:22):
It was a Trump mandate. He overperformed republic statewide Republicans everywhere,
even in the suburbs. As all Trump naysayers would tell you, they, oh,
he's gonna lose the suburbs. Trump overperformed statewide Republicans in
the suburbs. So is so president endorses Speaker Johnson? Is
he entitled to have a speaker of his choice? If
(41:43):
you believe the president's entitled to his cabinet, then I
also believe I'm just trying to be intellectually consistent here,
that he's also entitled to have a speaker of his choice,
and if he chooses Mike Johnson, hey, Trump won the election.
We shouldn't get on board with that too, especially since
there is not a viable conservative that has come forward
(42:04):
to do it. I cannot let good be the enemy
of great?
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Did I say that right?
Speaker 2 (42:11):
Nevertheless, you get my point, And what really concerns me
is that having Trump in the White House with no
bullshit shenanigans taking place is ultimately the most important thing,
Because while Republicans seem poised to infight. The Democrats are
working over time to undermine the President at every turn,
use the power of Congress to thwart the will of
(42:33):
the American people, use the intel community to make President
Trump's next term.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
Hell, they are doing this right now.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
And if we squabble and fight amongst ourselves over a
stupid speaker fight now, I'm not saying this stuff is important.
I'm not saying. I'm just saying there are things that
are more important. Certifying the election on January sixth and
making sure Trump is in the White House on January
twentieth is everything to me. What I am said saying
is that having Trump and the White House is more
(43:04):
important than who's Speaker of the House right this second.
That's what I'm saying. And the fact that Trump has
endorsed Speaker Johnson for the job. Hey, has he been perfect?
Absolutely not, but Trump endorsed him. We should trust Trump.
You know what I mean that. So I'm gonna tell you,
I'm gonna shell you exactly what I mean. But let
(43:26):
me let me tell you about a couple of our sponsors. Sorry,
three hours of radio turn around doing an hour podcast.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
My voice doesn't cut out for this.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
I haven't really built up a tolerance to it yet,
But smash that like button, that little green thumb beneath
the video, Smash that like button. I know it's a holiday,
but we always try to get close to four hundred likes.
It's always tough around the holiday season. But let me
tell you real quickly about Book a Limo. If you're
on the lookout for a top notch transportation service or
limo service, whether it's for corporate travel or any other adventure,
well you are in luck because today got the in
(44:00):
side scoop on a company that's all about luxury, reliability
and exceptional customer service. So I am talking about Book
a Limo. From sleeksdands to spacious SUVs, even sprinter bands
and mini coaches for group travel. Book Olymbus Fleet has
a ride for every style and occasion. If you need
something larger, they've got you covered with motor coaches. Of course,
(44:20):
they've got limousines as well. It's right there in the name.
So what sets book a Limo apart. They're available in
a thousand cities worldwide. They offer all of what I
just told you about at a lower rate than almost
all their competitors, and on par with Uber Black.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
It's amazing. There's a conservative company.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
Plus they run a twenty four to seven in house
operation armed with state of the art technology, so whether
it's the dead night or crack of dawn, you can
pick up the phone and have a direct line to
your driver. Book a Limo is a full service experience,
from professional show first to personalized meet and great services.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
They have it all.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
Give them a call at one eight hundred Book a Limo,
that's one eight hundred Book a Lemo, or book online
at www dot bookaalimo dot com. That's bookalimo dot com.
Trust me, they are your go to for a safe,
luxurious ride that you absolutely positively deserve. Yeah so, folks,
(45:18):
you've seen the headlines, have you. We talked about the
headline of the Hill right on here. How I mean, look,
it's just some whack job leftists in the Hill. But
still they are encouraging Democrat members of Congress to do
(45:40):
everything they can to use the fourteenth Amendment making a
constitutional argument about why they can stop President Trump from
being sworn in. And you can bet that their allies
in the intelligence community are helping them every step of
the way because they don't want Trump being sworn in
either And so while all of this is going on,
(46:04):
I really feel like I want to emphasize this. I
don't want the Republicans fighting.
Speaker 1 (46:10):
Folks.
Speaker 2 (46:10):
Listen, we have the wind at our back right now. Seriously,
the Democrats are in disarray. They don't know what the
hell hit them. In twenty twenty four, I mean, I've
seen clips of Kamala Harris as people of them saying, well, Kamala,
she ain't going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
You're gonna see her very soon.
Speaker 2 (46:27):
Good run her again in twenty eight, Please Democrats run
that more on Kamala Harris at the top of the
ticket again. Somehow you found somebody that was less articulate
than Joe Biden. He's not even barely alive right now.
They've learned nothing. Biden thinks that he shouldn't. He regrets withdrawing.
He thinks that he could have beaten Trump. Biden thinks
(46:48):
that he didn't move out, move faster with lawfare. I mean,
listen to this stuff that this Rick Wilson, who's this
gross dude who the Lincoln Project. Listen to what he's
saying yesterday about Trump' sup order smokes.
Speaker 1 (47:06):
These people have learned no lessons. And while politically that's
good for.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Us, it's bad for us because they're going to keep
pushing the authoritarian fascist nonsense unless somebody holds them, these
people accountable, right, So in order for that to happen,
we got to have Trump in office.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
Okay, but listen to Rick Wilson.
Speaker 4 (47:25):
It's an inevitability that the hyper populist, non college educated
part of Trump's space, which is the plurality at the
minimum of a majority, if you think certain arguments, we're
always going to be preconditioned to believe that the word
immigration or the word visa, always in their minds means
brown people bad. And so they have this belief that
(47:48):
you know, the guy with the ged and his fake
Oakley sunglasses, his goatee and his pickup truck, you know
the universal Twitter bro that you see at every avatar
on Twitter, that guy's thinking of it. Well, well, I
could have been the senior software designer at Google if
only it weren't for DEI or immigration. It's absurd. But
now you see these people that rely on that as
(48:09):
a core part of their business, just like Donald Trump does. Also,
by the way, for service staff at mar A Lago
and other resorts. You see this conflict, it's gonna eventually,
you know, the hyper populous. They don't really care about
the more sophisticated arguments about H one B or one visas.
They care around people that that's their whole that's their
(48:30):
whole driving conditioning they've had for from Fox for years.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
Oh yeah, going with the age old Trump is a
racist argument, right, these people, they don't get it. Not
to mention that Trump made historic gains in just about
every single category. And that moron that I just showed
you was the day before election day said Trump was
gonna lose in embarrassing fashion.
Speaker 1 (48:54):
But it's not just him.
Speaker 2 (48:55):
Listen to Jennifer Ruben, who I don't know if she
still is, but I think thing might still be a
columnist at the Washington Compost.
Speaker 5 (49:03):
Why would ABC Disney, the mouse who has more money
than God settled with Donald Trump?
Speaker 6 (49:12):
I honestly don't know.
Speaker 5 (49:15):
You know, I've asked why would ABC? But people ask
me all the time why is the media so mamsey pamsey?
And there are two explanations. The one is they are
convinced that if they would just move a little bit
to the right, all those maga readers out there. Now,
you'll notice the contradiction in terms MAGA readers would pick
(49:40):
up the Washington Post.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
Oh ha ha ha ha ha. MAGA readers, they're dumb,
they can't read. These people are idiots.
Speaker 2 (49:50):
To fight over a speaker fight, especially when President Trump
has weighed in and given his blessing to speaker Mike
Johnson and squander this extraordinary momentum that we have. Would
would be, would be to give our political enemies a massive,
massive victory. So we have a lot of extraordinary things
(50:15):
going for us. The intel community, yeah, they're going to
be working to try to undermine Trump, but they also
recognize that they are on the ropes in a very
big way. I mean, seriously, listen to John Brennan, who,
by the way, is a Commie mouth breather who was
one hundred percent behind spying on President Trump, one hundred
(50:37):
percent behind the Russia collusion hoax, signed the Laptop from Hell,
the Hunter Biden Laptop Letter. This guy is a hardcore
Democrat hack And just just listen to this.
Speaker 7 (50:47):
John Brennan, who in twenty twenty cold President Trump a
quote despicable, ignorant fool, has a surprising take on the
transition so far.
Speaker 8 (50:58):
Listen here, I think this transition to the there he
was now he's taking place in.
Speaker 6 (51:09):
A more serious and professional fashion than happened in twenty
sixteen twenty seventeen, because you have people like a Marco Rubio,
who has been named to be the next Secretary of State,
who is well steeped in these issues and also takes
them very seriously. And I know that there is engagement
between the Biden Department of State and the incoming Trump team.
Speaker 2 (51:32):
So that snafu was not me. That was on Fox,
but that was that said. Look, this guy is only
saying this because he knows that Trump does like when
people give him kudos, and he's hoping that he won't
be held accountable when Trump takes office and cash Battel
steps in as the FBI director.
Speaker 1 (51:55):
There's no doubt about it. And look, you want to.
Speaker 2 (51:59):
Talk about the Biden crime family, they were totally exposed.
Remember the New York Post headline. The Feds finally released
photos showing then VP Biden meeting sons Hunter Biden business
China business partners days before he leaves office. So this
is first of all, thanks Feds for putting all this
stuff out now is the animated corpses on his way
out of the White House. But this confirms everything that
(52:22):
we already knew, and we've been reporting on this for
the better part of a year, that Biden is a
wholly owned subsidiary of the CCP. People came after me
for saying that, but it's one hundred percent true. There
are pictures of him now out there as a sitting
vice president meeting with President she of China and Hunter Biden, who,
by the way, Hunter Biden was paid in bags full
(52:42):
of diamonds from China, like he's some sort of bond villain.
But the narrative around the Biden crime family is also collapsing.
Speaker 4 (52:50):
Ukraine and also China.
Speaker 9 (52:52):
There's a polling by the Associated Press that shows that
almost seventy percent of Americans, including forty percent of Democrats,
believe that you acted either illegally or unethically in regards
to your family's business interests. Can you explain to the Americans,
to Americans this impeachment in Korea, why you interacted with
so many of your son and brothers foreign business associates.
Speaker 1 (53:14):
I'm not going to comment that I did not, and
especially a bunch.
Speaker 3 (53:17):
Of lies in Liberals Associates, I did not there's lies.
Speaker 1 (53:24):
If he just grumbles lies enough, the world won't believe him,
and the media won't ask any more questions, just like
they didn't ask any damn questions about his age. Oh
my gosh. It's listen.
Speaker 2 (53:35):
Good as winning. Good is winning. But the media they're
doing everything. I'm telling you. I'm telling you they they're
doing everything they can to undermine President Trump. So we
cannot do their work for them. We cannot fight and
(53:56):
squabble over who's going to be a speaker. We cannot
do it, cannot even waste a day. We've got two
years of guaranteed Republican power.
Speaker 1 (54:05):
We should use it.
Speaker 2 (54:06):
We should wield it unapologetically and never look back. And
like you see this other thing, this got left on
the cutting room floor yesterday. I'm not leaving it on
the cutting room floor today. Do you see this, Lina
Wang come out and talk about bird flu? What should
be happening in the Biden administration right now that isn't
(54:27):
going on.
Speaker 3 (54:28):
Yeah, there are two main things that they should be
doing in the days that they have left. The first
is to get testing out there. I feel like we
should have learned our lesson from COVID that just because
we aren't testing it doesn't mean that the virus isn't there.
It just means that we aren't looking for it. We
should be having rapid tests, home tests available to all
farm workers, to their families for the clinicians taking care
(54:48):
of them, so that we aren't waiting for public labs
and CDC labs to tell us what's bird flu or not.
And the second very important thing is this is not
like the beginning of COVID, where we were dealing with
a new virus, we didn't have a vaccine. There actually
is a vaccine developed already against age five and one.
The Biden administration has contracted with the manufacturers to make
(55:09):
almost five million doses of the vaccine. However, they have
not asked the FDA to authorize the vaccine. There's researched
down on it. They could get this authorized now and
also get the vaccine out and to farm workers into
vulnerable people. I think that's the right approach because we
don't know what the Trump administration is going to be
doing around bird flu. If they have people coming in
(55:30):
with anti vaccine stances, could they hold up the vaccine authorization.
If they don't want to know how much bird flu
is out there, could they withhold testing? I mean, that's
a possibility, And I think the Biden administration in the
remaining days should get testing and vaccines widely available so
that at least it empowers state and local health officials
(55:50):
and clinicians to do the right thing for their patients.
Parder Worth.
Speaker 2 (55:53):
So here she's talking about advanced advanced authorization for a
vaccine for bird flu.
Speaker 1 (56:02):
That, by the way, pos is very very very very
very very very minimal risks to humans. We're not going
down this path again. We just aren't. I refuse to
go down this path.
Speaker 2 (56:17):
And listen, I'm telling you they're gonna do everything they can,
including the whole the COVID playbook all over again, to
try to derail President Trump's second term. We can't let
them do it. We cannot infight. So all right, come
to the end of the show. Holy smokes that flew by.
This is crazy how fast this show goes. Make sure
(56:41):
you smash that like button on your way out. I
know it's a holiday. I know we have some people
that would be celebrating New Year's Eve. And by the way,
Robert Malone. I gotta say this because I'm just seeing
this now. Someone sent this to me about Lena When
Malone says this is stunningly irresponsible, Why does quote face
that face the nation give her airtime. There's no public
(57:04):
health emergency, even the CDC says the risk is low.
She seeks to normalize irresponsible, non scientifically and medically sound policies.
This is psychological bioterrorism. And Lina when is a psychological bioterrorist?
Who is she working for? Ooh, Robert Malone, spinning fire.
Had to get you that before we left. Okay, So
(57:25):
Winnie's World, Yeah, exactly. The lefts trying to call people
stupid and uneducated. Yet thank you for the rumble rant tip.
Winnie's World, you are the best. We are so so
grateful for you. Geef Fontes, thanks again, You're a og
regular rumble rant tipper.
Speaker 1 (57:44):
Thank you all for everything.
Speaker 2 (57:47):
Seriously, so to the end of the show, smash that
like button on your way out, and I want you
to just really you know, twenty twenty five is going
to be great Boston. I see your rumble rant, my friend.
Happy New Years to you as well, and we love
you right back at you Boston. Thanks for the rumbel
rant tip. Folks, listen, I want you to have a
(58:10):
happy New Year. We've been through a lot, and we've
been through a lot together. We pushed through a lot together.
You are the best audience in the world, and so
enjoy New Year's Eve any way that you want. Here
in the greatest country on the face of the planet.
And when we see each other, it'll be the year
(58:32):
twenty twenty five, the year of President Donald J.
Speaker 1 (58:35):
Trump.
Speaker 2 (58:36):
So let's pray for Republicans to be strong. Let's pray
for our country to get back on its feet again
after four hard years of the Biden administration. Let's pray
for Donald Trump to have success. Let's pray for Jade
Vance to be right there with him. And as always, folks,
as you're on your way out, happy happy, Happy New Year.
(58:57):
Battle crew, God bless you all, and God less this
amazing country that we call home. Take care, good night,
and I will see you in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (59:08):
Take care,
Corning. You're about to enter the arena.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
And join the Battle to Save America with your host
Sean Parnell. Good evening, America, Welcome to Battleground Live. This
is the show where we kick ass and take names
in lockhorns with.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
The radical left.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
No, we never quit, We never surrender. From sea to
shining Sea and everybody in between. Welcome Patriots on.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
This extraordinary what day is it?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Time is flying by over this holiday season, on this Tuesday,
which is also New Year's Eve, Battle Crew, Happy New
Year's We've been on this journey together for a little
bit over a year, but the time has just flown by,
and I'm telling you I couldn't be more proud to
(00:55):
know you say this often. You probably all like, shut up,
move on, get on with the show. But without an audience,
there is no show, there is no podcast. And that
is why I'm very, very grateful to have you. Seriously,
Happy New Year. We're on the precipice of something I
think that is really special, very very special twenty twenty four.
(01:20):
As I spoke about today on The Clay and Buck Show,
which is, by the way, was an awesome experience. I'll
tell you about that in a second. But twenty twenty
four was a year for the history books. And I
really do if you get a minute, you know, take
a few minutes tonight and just take stock of where
(01:43):
you were during some pivotal moments in American history. And yeah,
I think some of this stuff is really going to
be remembered for the next several hundred years.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I mean it.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I think that we lived through one of the most
extraordinary years in American political history. Well ever, I believe
that at the core of my being, whether it's the
mugshot Day, which we've talked about, whether it's the July
thirteenth assassination attempt on President Trump, which we talked about,
(02:19):
which whether it was Trump going from a near death
shot in the face on a stage two being a
manager at McDonald's for a couple of days, which guess
what you guessed it We talked about that too, to
a second assassination attempt to almost everybody in the American media.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
For the second time in.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
A row, actually probably third time in a row, totally
discount President Trump. And to listen, I mean this completely.
It seems like what happened in twenty twenty four was similar,
it was different but also very similar to what happened
in twenty sixteen. It seemed like no one in the
(03:09):
media saw this coming, so I could, and I didn't
have a lot of time to prep for this show,
coming from hosting radio directly to here. This is one
I'm a one man band, so to speak, on this
show on the podcast, But in researching for the show,
(03:30):
I found probably five or six pieces of sound that
basically said Trump's campaign was faltering. This is a man
that will go down in flames and will live out
his life in infamy, perhaps even behind bars. And they're
saying this gleefully. So I mean, I'm serious, folks. This
was a week before the election day. This is what
(03:50):
these idiots with national platforms are saying on national television.
And it's also why we should never trust any of
these morons ever. Again, I mean, most people discounted this guy.
I even think that most conservatives discounted this guy. Not us,
not America firsters, not America first believers. I think we
(04:14):
saw things with clear eyes, you know, I think that
for most of us, the scales have been removed from
our eyes for some time now. In fact, I give
you the battle crew and mcgroin Nation and Nunchucks when
they're over here raiding the stream from Dan Nunnshow, and
whoever else who watches or listens to this show, I
(04:37):
give you all the credit in the world, because you know,
I feel like nothing that I say is a surprise
to you. I feel like much of what we talk
about we're on the same page with. And that's because
you're willing to think for yourself, which, by the way,
is an uncommon thing today in America. You know, I
(05:01):
look at school, for example, what my kids, and I've
got five of them, right, so lots of experience with
dealing with school. My issue with schools today, and I
mean this is a general statement. I don't know, you know,
so bear with me here. My issue with many schools
today is they don't teach children to be leaders. They
(05:24):
teach children to be followers. And of course, if you're
a leader, you ain't doing your job if you're not
thinking for yourself. And I feel like when I was
a kid in elementary school, middle school, high school, and
then again in college, I mean in college, it did
get progressively more liberal, but even when I was in college,
(05:45):
the vast majority of professors that I had while liberal
did the best that they could to keep politics out
of the classroom. They present the facts say decide for yourself.
More importantly, think for yourself. Thinking critically was really important. Okay,
this is what the history book says, Sean, But what
do you think about this fact pattern that was set
(06:07):
out before you? How do you think this person acted
at this moment in our nation's history. We're in our
world's history.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
But today.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
And I know this because I hear the kids talk
about this stuff. They're so focused on testing right and
studying what would be on the test, and in almost
studying to be able to take the test. And I
of course that's a strategy for doing well on a test,
(06:40):
but it does little.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
To prepare you to the real world.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Where As you navigate through this crazy journey that we
called life. You've got to be able to react life,
and life is a test in many ways, but it's
not like you can study for that test. In fact,
life is one curveball after the next. And in fact,
I talked about this on the Clay and Buck Show
(07:05):
today and for those of you who are just joining us,
I filled in today for Clay Travis and Buck Sexton
on the biggest radio show in the country. By the way,
I think they're on five hundred plus stations, which is insane.
They took the torch which was passed to them by
Rush Limbaugh so many of these stations, and the twelve
to three time slot was Russia's old slot. And I'm
(07:28):
not putting myself in the same category as Rush Limbaugh.
Definitely not, never will do that. Not in the same
category as Clay Travis or Buck Sexton. All of those
guys are extraordinary at the job. But let me tell
you this is as I usually say on the show,
ear muffs if you've got kids around. But no bullshit
(07:50):
assessment here. My life has been one crazy surprise of
a stepping stone after the next. Never planned to join
the military. I always had an interest because my dad
went to the Naval Academy for a time and was
always interested in military culture and was always interested in
(08:10):
the idea of testing myself. But it never became a
reality until nine to eleven and I joined. Never planned it,
but there it was. Then come out of the military,
had no idea what I wanted to do with my life.
Left the military, broke like penniless. I had a few
bucks I'm just exaggerating, but left the military broke and
(08:30):
broke in physically broken, not mentally broken. I'm a volunteer.
I raised my right hand to serve this country, and
I would do it again if I could in a second,
especially if this country needed me. But left the military
broke and broken. No idea what I wanted to do
with my life. Went back to grad school definitely wasn't
my thing. In fact, it was a PhD program. I
(08:52):
got accepted into a PhD program in clinical psychology at
Duquane University in Pennsylvania, intending to study ner trauma and
the effects of trauma on the brain and post traumatic
stress disorder so that I could help soldiers and their
families who were struggling with the invisible wounds of war.
At least that was my motivation. While all that changed
too when my first book came out. And I'm not
(09:14):
a writer, I'm not. I mean, seriously, I was a
mediocre student all my life. When I knew what the
grades that I needed to get to get in the
army branch that I wanted and to do the things
in the army that I wanted to do, well, boy,
I locked down my grades pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
But before that, mediocre every step of the way.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
If you don't believe me, just find my parents and
ask them.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
But writing a book was never part of the plan.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
And all of a sudden one day I woke up
and I just was, I mean overwhelmed with the sense
of duty of telling the story of my troops to
make sure that their legacy never died.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Because I would hear over and over from my troops.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
The American people don't even know what we did in Afghanistan,
and this was at a time where the nation was
focused on Iraq.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
You've heard me say some of this stuff before, of
course you have.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
So I just got just just I mean, became obsessed
with this. I feel like God set me on this
path too, just like he did after nine to eleven
and all the while coming home from the military and
adjusting to life. You know, the injury that I had
in Afghanistan was very similar. It was very similar. It's
(10:30):
been a long day. The injury that I had in
Afghanistan was very serious. I had a head injury. It
cerebral spinal fluid leak. So I had fractured my skull
on some way over there. And when I came back.
I mean I went through a year at the Traumatic
Brain Injury Clinic at Fort Trum, New York. You know,
I did physical therapy, I did occupational therapy, I did
(10:52):
speech therapy. I mean, you know you might be thinking, well,
why would you need that? Or I'm surprised that you
needed that, and well I did. I mean suffered from
a serious head injury. In the silver lining, if there
was one to be had, if for being blown up
three successive times, once by an airburst mortar and twice
by a rocket propel grenade. If there was a silver
(11:14):
lining to that experience, it was the fact that it
happened when I was young. It happened when I was
in my early to mid twenties. Now I'm forty three.
I still have some residual effects from that traumatic brain injury.
I still like looking at some of the studio lights
is tough for me. Some days are harder than others.
(11:34):
But for the most part, I feel like my brain
because of the concept of neuroplasticity in the brain's ability
to rewire itself, especially when young after trauma, I feel
like I've made a full recovery. So think about this
for me going from a time where I'm in therapy
for speech after a head injury in Afghanistan to hosting
the biggest radio show in the country.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Folks, I can assure you that this was never part
of my life's path and it was the people.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
And I talked to Commander Melanie about this before I
went live tonight. There have been people along the way.
I mean, obviously my families. Most of my family is
included in this, and I say most deliberately when times
were darkest, they just didn't abandon me. I mean, my
family was right there with me every step of the way,
(12:27):
supported me every step of the way. Quite a lot
of amazing people that didn't abandon me during some of
these really tough times either. And look, I'm not I'm
not saying. I'm just saying, folks, life throws curveballs at us,
and you can, you could do your best to prepare
for life, but you know, just like the enemy has
(12:47):
to say, regardless of how well you train in combat,
well life has to say and how life is going
to be for you. And I feel like sitting in
for Klay, Travis and Buck Sexon not on my bingo
card for life. Let's just say that, and you know,
being in that chair today was kind of an amazing
thing and I just feel like I'm extraordinary blessed to
(13:12):
be able to have this and all those people that
helped me along the way. Let me tell you, Wendy
Bell and Brock would not be sitting here doing this
show every day for an hour with all of you.
Certainly would never be filling in for Clay and Buck Sexton,
Klay Travis and Buck Sexton and Jesse Kelly and then
Wendy Bell gave me. That was the very first opportunity
(13:33):
to fill in anybody. But those two were there with
me from day one on this journey and never once
abandoned me. Buck Sexton, I've known him for a long
time before he was the host of the Clay and
buck Sexton Show. He never once abandoned me either. In fact,
the guy's the host of the biggest radio show in
the country and he's texting me from Spain or something
(13:53):
on a vacation telling me good luck. Hey, I'm proud
that you're my friend. And I feel like those people
in our lives who are there for us when times
are really rough. You know, I don't know, maybe there's
part of me that thinks that maybe I haven't.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Maybe I've not.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Been thankful enough to my family and my friends who
have really stuck with me. Maybe I haven't been grateful
enough to those people because as people, as human beings,
I think we are wired to focus on negativity, and
sometimes we get laser focused on the negative without looking
(14:39):
at Hey, be grateful for your standing in life. Look
around you. All these great people are there for you.
And that's kind of where I feel. That's kind of
how I feel right now. I'm kind of focused on
all those great people as we bring in the new
year that were there for me, and I'm grateful for
those people who were there with me even during bad times,
because that's the real measure. Sure of a friend, is right.
(15:04):
Everybody wants to be your friend when you're riding high, right.
I mean, man, when I was the Trump and Door
Senate candate in Pennsylvania, I mean, this phone didn't stop
ringing and texting of people who just love would love
to be my friend at that time. And then the
moment that my senate campaign ended, most not all, but
most of those people stopped texting. And that's fine, It's fine,
(15:26):
No hard feelings I get it. It was a ridiculous time.
People didn't really know what was true, what wasn't.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I get it. I have no hard feelings. But silver
lining for me is.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I was able to focus in on the people who
really mattered, who never abandoned me. And because of that,
it's given me a new perspective on life that I
think I desperately needed. So very grateful to have the
opportunity to fill in for Clay and Buck today. I
know that was a bit of a long intro smash
that like button, that little green thumb beneath the video
(15:58):
really helps us make the board the Clay and Buck Show,
by the way, before I got a couple of ad
reads here and then I'll get into the show, I promise.
But the Clay and Buck Show, I'm telling you that
is crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
They had a.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Huge production team, you know, normally with Jesse Kelly. Jesse
Kelly's amazing producer is named Chris.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Love that guy.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Obviously, Wendy bell Brock stars her amazing producer, Love that
guy too. He's also the champion of our fantasy football
team and he can go to hell on that.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
But other than that, I love that guy.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Normally shows have like one producer that a host really
really trusts. Holy smokes, every single producer, well at least
the producers that I engaged with and talked with. The
executive producer of Clay and Buck Show worked with Rush
Limball for twenty two years. Can you believe that the
show's senior producer worked with Rush Limball for seventeen years?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Can you believe that? Is that not insane to me?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I mean, my dad used to drive me around everywhere
and talk about Rustling inval I'd hear him on the
radio all the time as a kid, I said this
on the show this morning, Who the hell is this
Rush guy?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
And who the hell names your kid? Rush? Well, now
of course I know who he is, and who.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Would have thought that this where, this is not even
have an opportunity like this, even if it only happens
one time.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I'm grateful to God for this experience. Can you believe that?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I So, this is all the stuff that's on my
mind going into the new year, trying to evaluate the
person that I want to be. Obviously, Gilmaway is going
to be the same person, but every day, my personal
philosophy is every day I try to be a little
bit better than who I was the day before.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Every day I don't compete.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Really, I'm competitive, Yes, I'm very very competitive, but I
don't compare myself to other people who are in my shoes.
Well that's not necessarily true. Sometimes I do, but I
stop myself quickly because that's a pathway to unhappiness. And
the only person that I'm going to compare myself to
is who I was yesterday and again as we go
into the new year. This is the stuff that I'm
(18:05):
thinking about because I want twenty twenty five to be
better than twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I just do.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
And I think part of being better is having the
ability to look internally, have an internal barometer, be honest
about who you are, what you need to improve, what
you can do better. Being capable of doing a self
audit is I think really important. And so I I mean,
(18:33):
Commander Melanie would probably tell you that I do that
too much. In fact, I think I know she would
tell you that I do that too much. But it's
really the only way I know. And that's really what
I'm thinking about now as we prepare for the ball drop.
So got a huge show for you today, a huge podcast.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I tell you a quick.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Personal story about one of my soldiers here in a second.
And I know I'm kind of off on a tangent today,
but what's on my mind, and this is why we
do the podcast to talk about spend this time together
almost as a big battle crew family.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
So listen.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I'm sure that you Actually I'm gonna come over to
the live chat and I'd like to get your feedback
here because again, all of these things are on my
mind at the end of the year, and you know,
I'm kind of free wheeling here and I'm kind of
being an open book here to give you a window into.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
To my mindset on a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
But let me ask you all a question, and this
is gonna If it's too personal, fine, don't don't answer.
But let me ask you all a question. Do you
have regrets? Do many of you all have regrets? And
do you have regrets in your life, in your past,
things that you wish that Damn, I wish that I
had a mulligan on that, Like I wish I had
(19:52):
a do over on that.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Let me know.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I mean, of course, of course I have I have
regrets many of course. Hey, thank you all for sharing
this stuff with me folks, Regina, yes, glow, yes, okay, George, Yep, yep, yep,
yep okay.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
People saying who doesn't. Well that makes me feel good.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
And hey, listen, I see you, Wiser say, I say
thank you for a wonderful show bringing us truth in
common sense. God bless you in the Battle Crew family.
In the new year, Trump won twenty twenty five, You
just reminded me something, Wiser. I'll get back to their
regrets thing in a second, but thank you for the
rumble rant tip one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
We get goes right back into the studio.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
But yes, Trump won twenty twenty five. I have this
video of Commander Melanie and I look at all these
people responding to the to the regrets thing.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Everyone's saying, yes, who doesn't.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I have this video of Commander Melanie on this like
this kind of paratrooper type ride in Delaware at Funland
in Delaware, right on the beach to the kids there,
and we're like whipping around in this circle. And this
was back just after twenty twenty when it was like
still kind of like I don't know, I mean, we
never felt like this, but there were many conservatives that,
(21:12):
oh he can't say this, So whipping around in this
paratrooper ride and Melanie is screaming trump won as we
fly around.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
In a circle.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
This is right after twenty twenty, just whipping around all
these libs in Delaware, just whipping around. Melanie's screaming Trump one,
Trump one. From the top of me. Is this woman not?
Is this she's definitely wife material?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Is she not? Is imagining her like my wife? Is
whipping around Trump one?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Melanie says, boy, you shouldn't hold anything back, which she
lets loose.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Okay, but let me get back to the Thank you
wiser for that.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
No, I see you, g Fontes, thank you, thank you,
my friend for the rumble rants tips. He said, I
don't regret the things that I've done that failed, but
regret the things that I've not done that may have succeeded.
Wise words, Gief Fontes, my friend, I want to tell
you about it. It's kind of a it's a regret
that I have, Yeah, a regret. I had a soldier.
(22:18):
His name was Jeff Hall, and I love that guy.
It was just like a hell of a soldier, just
like a soldier soldier. And he also loved top shelf stuff.
So We had this like Harley Davidson that he wrote everywhere,
had arm tattoos and everything, drank top shelf whiskey.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
He just liked very nice things.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
He had this like hardcore, awesome alienware laptop. And I
didn't know what alienware was back then, but I guess
it's like a video gaming laptop. You know, when you're
out in the middle of nowhere, hey, having a video
game to play.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
It's kind of a cool thing.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
We were literally out in the middle of nowhere when
we were stationed in Afghanistan. We were watching Band of
Brothers because, as you know, this is Band of Brothers
time for the family here at Fort Parnell. Watch it
the day after Christmas. We try to finish it by
New Year's Day. They were watching on Band of Brothers
with what's called a CDs drop, basically parachute dropping food
(23:16):
to soldiers who are trapped behind enemy lines. But that
was my unit for four hundred and eighty five days.
We were surrounded by the enemy on all sides out
in the middle of nowhere, the mountainous border region between
afghan and Afghanistan and Pakistan. They would fly this big
C one thirty overhead and they drop our food on
these little palettes right, and it would you'd see the
(23:38):
parachutes pop out there and if they look, sometimes the
wind caught them the wrong way and the enemy would
get our food and our resupply, and that would mean
we really have to be careful what we ate for
a week, or we'd beating mrs for a week. But
Jeff Hall, because he was I mean he was a ranger,
he was also a pathfinder. He would go, he'd coordinate
(24:01):
the CDs drops, so he'd be out in the LZ
communicating with the c one thirty marking the landing zone,
trying to give a target point for the parish, all
this stuff, and he'd be responsible for all that. It
was very very high speed, highly trained guy. And we
were on this mission in late two thousand and six.
We had taken i mean four hundred and eighty five
(24:24):
days of combat. My base had taken over four thousand rockets.
And those are indirect fire attacks. So if you remember
Band of Brothers where there's the Battle of the Bald
Season they're getting pounded with artillery, that's kind of what
they went through.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Was far far worse. Living in those fox holes.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
No cold weather, gear, freezing or asses off getting pounded
with German artillery every day.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
That was hell.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
We got pounded with artillery every day too, But at
least I had a bed and a pillow to sleep in.
Now that doesn't mean a hey rocket can land on
your head while you're sleeping, but at least you're going
to be comfortable in the meantime, or comfortable ish as
it goes when you're in the middle of nowhere in Afghanistan.
So we got tasked with this mission to find all
these rocket teams, hunt them down, and kill them. And
(25:06):
we got that mission in late November, well within five
minutes of being on that mission. My opatun was, of
course we ran point for everything Pittsburgh Plumbers says, and
what is Band of Brothers a movie? Band of Brothers?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Pittsburgh is the best mini series of all times. If
you have Netflix, it's for free on net It's it's
right there on Netflix. It's the best World War two
mini series of all time. It's largely regarded as that
as well, by not just me, but by everybody. But
we watch it because it gives the kids a sense
of what it's like to be in the infantry. So anyways,
(25:47):
we go, we're on this mission, and within two seconds
of hunting down these guys, we see these like al
Qaeda type guys, clad and all black had uh you know,
bdu like camouflage, woodland camo chest racks where they carried
all their ammunition and stuff in AK forty sevens. They
run out from the wadi system to our left, and
a wadi system is like a canyon right or a callvert.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
They run out.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
There's five of them there waving their AK forty sevens
and screaming at us and doing us all this other stuff.
We're on patrol with the Afghan National Army and Marines
are embedded with the Afghan National Army to train them,
and so they're up on the high ground. Michaeltoon's down
in the low ground. Well, the Afghan National Army sees
these guys waving these AK forty sevens and screaming, and
they turn around and they take off running. Well guess
(26:31):
what the Afghan National Army did. The Afghan National Army
went running after them, and the Marines who were embedded
among them, you could hear them yelling no stop stop,
sensing what we all sensed, and that was we were
about to be very likely baited into an ambush, that
(26:51):
they had something in that calvert that was not going
to be good for us, And sure enough, that's exactly
what happened. The marine first lieutenant who was with the
Afghan National Army at that point, got shot in the
pelvis right away, and every member of the Afghan National
Army on that ridge line who charged after those Al
(27:12):
Qaeda insurgents, those rocket teams got pinned down and cut
off and surrounded by the enemy. And the problem was
is that, I mean, obviously, being trapped and pinned down
by the enemy is a really bad, shitty thing.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
That's bad in and of itself.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
But what was really bad is that we had a marine,
a US marine up there, who was shot in the pelvis,
and what we had gotten word of is that his
foremoral artery might have been nicked. And that's not a
good thing, obviously, And so I asked my battalion commander
to send my platune in to get him out.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
And so we went in.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
We drove headlong into that kill zone, got attacked, had
two guys shot in the head on that patrol.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Both of those guys stayed in the fight.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
By the way, I think I told some of you
all this story before, but had to evak are wounded,
went back into the kill zone, couldn't get to this
marine in trucks, so it pulled back out of the
kill zone, consolidated, reorganized, focus on evacuating all of our wounded.
Jeff Hall, my third squadalier, volunteers to go after this
(28:18):
marine and take his squad with him. Nine people fight
through two enemy lines to get.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
To this guy.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
And Jeff Hall was what they would call like a
medically trained combat lifesaver. So he takes his squad up
this hilltop and he gets to the top of the
hill and he does fight through two hostile enemy lines,
gets to this marine. He administers first aid somehow stops
(28:45):
the bleeding after being shot in the hip. He guides
in this Blackhawk helicopter with a Jungle penetrator.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
But not before to Apache helicopters.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Okay, these are our attack helicopters were on station attacking
the enemy and try to keep the enemy off of us.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Not before both hear me.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Now, both of those apaches took incoming fire, took bullets
to their haull and had to withdraw from the station.
So all of this happened, Jeff's able to get this
black Hawk helicopter in with a jungle penetrator.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Which is basically a litter where you would put a casualty.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Imagine, you know, somebody sitting in the back of an
ambulance or something that's like a litter, dangling at the
end of a big long rope that they lowered down
from this helicopter that's called a jungle penetrator, and then you've.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Got these straps that go over the casualty's chest.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Well, Jeff Hall is surrounded by the enemy, somehow gets
this black Hawk helicopter and then remember he's a pathfinder
and he's trained to do this stuff, and gets this
jungle penetrator in, gets this marine loaded up, and we
watched this bird fly away with this big dangly rope
in this litter, this marine hanger. I mean, it's absolutely unbelievable.
And Jeff Call comes down smoking a cigarette and he goes, sir,
(30:00):
I see that look in your eye. Don't even put
me in for an award. He's like, because it ain't
gonna work. I'm just doing my damn job. So that's
the kind of guy that Jeff hall is and so
we get home after sixteen months of Afghanistan, and he
and I were close, you know, you go through something
like that, you know, I was close with a lot
of my guys, even to this day. I was just
(30:21):
talking to my second squad leader yesterday, who actually lost
to Brock by the way, in this fantasy football finals.
But Jeff Paul and I after I got back, got
into some stupid fight about something. You know, I don't
(30:41):
even remember what the hell it was about, just some
stupid military bullshit. I don't I couldn't even tell you
to this day what it was about. And we never
really talked ever again until he got orders to go
(31:02):
back to Afghanistan, and I couldn't. I was non deployable
because of my head injury. I was going through rehabit
in the process of being put out of the Army.
But I remember standing on the flight line because I
wanted to be there for my troops as they went
back into the fight that they just barely survived. Sixteen months,
nine months off and then back for over fifteen months.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Absolutely ridiculous what the.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Army put us through, which, by the way, this is
part of the reason why I'm glad that heg Sat
is going to be our new Secretary of Defense. That
kind of crazy shit has to stop. But I remember
shaking his hand and saying, good luck, You're gonna be great,
take care of your men, and he said thanks, sir,
shook shook his hand, and he went and boarded that
that that that that SEE one third that that civilian
(31:45):
hel helica, that's civilian aircraft to take him to Kuwait
where he gets on to SEE one thirty goes back
to Afghanistan. He deplored to Wardak Province and on June first,
two thousand and nine, he was killed. His truck ran
over a devastating improvised explosive device and killed everybody in
that truck.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
But the gunner. And I look back on that.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
I was talking to Melanie about this today and for
whatever reason, you know, I've sup as you go through
life and you forget some of this stuff, right, But
something that I saw on Band of Brothers yesterday as
we watched this, jarred that memory in me, and I
told Melanie this morning, I'm like, man, I really regret this.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
This is this was a really stupid fight.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
And now I'll never have the opportunity to really make
it right or talk to him ever.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Again, life is short. You know.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
The only thing that we're guaranteed is right the second.
You know, we're not guaranteed tomorrow. And so you know, again,
I'm sorry to go off on a tangent with this stuff,
but this is all the stuff I'm thinking about going
into into the new year, and hopefully I learned from
this and it makes me a better person. And that's
(33:02):
why when I see these stories like six billion dollars
to Ukraine, this is of course the Biden administration announcing
a two point five billion dollar weapons aid package to
Ukraine in conjunction with Janet Yellen announcing, you know, a
three point five billion dollar aid package to Ukraine from
the US Treasury, over six billion to Ukraine in Biden's
(33:24):
last in the twenty twenty one days out before Trump
is sworn in.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
It just pisses me off so much because it feels
like we're all like we're making the same mistakes that
we have made for the last twenty years, mistakes that
put Jeff Hall in a place to get killed, that
forced him to go back to Afghanistan after sixteen months.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
By the way, four hundred and eighty five days. Try
to wrap your mind around how long that is? So
easy company in band of brothers, they jump into Normandy
and they fight to Hitler's eagles nest in less time
than four hundred and eighty five days. That's how long
we were in Afghanistan. Sixteen months in a row. So Jeff
(34:13):
Hall comes home as a new baby, is a new
baby girl name named Audrey, and gets married to an
amazing woman called Alison, and is with his baby for
nine months. And the Secretary of Defense at the time,
which I think was Rumsfeld, turn around, send him right back.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Hell, it might not have been Rumsfeld. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
It might have been Gates or somebody like that. But
no one in the Department of Defense thought that maybe
we shouldn't send a unit that had been home for
only nine months less than a year, send him back
over there. Think that, guys, after sixteen months of heavy
combat might be fatigued. You think that that might be
an anti war fighter position. Yet here we are six
billion dollars sending right to Ukraine in a war that
(34:52):
will be nothing but bloody, a bloody stalemate. And oh,
by the way, here we are sending all this money
to Ukraine when you have Western North Carolina still in shambles.
People were sharing heartbreaking video out of Western North Carolina.
This is a national scandal. I mean, I guess FEMA's
(35:15):
on the ground there now, but they're not doing a
whole lot. I mean, you talk, you look at some
of the testimony videos from the people of North Carolina
who are still suffering to this day from Hurricane Helen.
I mean, many people have not even seen FEMA or
think that FEMA is not helping them at all. And
(35:35):
so here we are sending six billion to Ukraine and
not even helping our own people. Or how about the
people of Maui in Hawaii. We covered that extensively here
on this podcast when it happened, extensively, relying heavily on
survivor testimony from local news coverage, how people felt the.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Government was doing. They didn't feel good about it.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Seven hundred bucks, seven hundred bucks maybe a little bit
more in Western North Carolina. That is supposed to replace
everything that these people lost, and yet here we are
show me tell me what the moral justification is Republicans
who are okay with this bullshit? Because I know there
are plenty of you in Washington. Where's the moral justification
for this when you have Americans here that are suffering
(36:20):
legitimately suffering from natural disasters? Or how about in the
year of twenty twenty four, homelessness in this country increased
at a rate not seen before in a very long time.
It's at an all time high right now under Joe Biden.
Show me the moral justification for sending six billion dollars
to a country that's not even technically our ally. This
(36:46):
is why I'm so passionate about this speaker's stuff.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
I know that many of you all.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Look I am not. I am as conservative America first
as you get. I think you all know that about me.
But I don't want to squander two years of.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
A Trump presidency. I don't. We did this in sixteen.
Republicans stabbed him in the back. Paul Ryan and the
rest of the republic Republicans from the cut from the
same cloth.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
I'm tired of this. We cannot have a repeat of
the past where Republicans gain power and we fail to
wield it. So is Mike Johnson perfect, Absolutely not. But
there's no one else. There's no one else. There's not
a consensus candidate that's gonna just go into emerge. Jim Jordan.
(37:42):
I love Jim Jordan, the Farah in the House of Representatives.
I'd be voting for Jim Jordan all day long. I
love that guy. But even I think Jim would tell
you I'm more effective on judiciary, and he's probably right
investigating the Biden crime family syndicate, questioning and holding to
a holding to a cat all these criminals within our
deep state. I actually like Jim Jordan in that role too,
(38:04):
And I think you tell you the same thing. Maybe
I don't know, I'm just speculating. Trump endorsed Mike Johnson.
Mike Johnson came out yesterday and said he has the votes.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
I mean, we'll see.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
I broke down the math for you all yesterday. Go
to the thirty one minute mark of the show yesterday
where I break down all the math. But Speaker Johnson
can only afford to lose four votes. We's got Massy's
not going to be voting for him. I think Victorious Sparts,
a Republican congresswoman, is probably not going to vote for him,
or is at least looking to maybe vote for somebody else.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Well, that's two.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
You need a solid majority of people who name you
by name in order to win, and that numbers two eighteen,
so you can only.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Afford to lose a few with four hundred and thirty
four members in the House.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
And if you don't, and here's the reason, right, Okay,
listen to me on this. I know many of you
all probably I don't know if you all agree or not,
but like to me, I look at it like this,
if we are to say that President Trump, a president
is entitled to his cabinet and and and by the way,
(39:15):
I don't like the whole media gas lighting of oh
are we going to.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Vote for Pete or not? Oh my gosh, is Cash
Betell going to have the votes or not? I think
this is media gas lighting.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Because look at Biden, Pete butt, keg keg and and
all of these moronic Biden cabinet appointees who have no
experience whatsoever. All of them got some Republican votes. So
don't tell me that Pete Hegseth isn't qualified. Don't tell
me that Cash Hotel is not qualified. Don't tell me
that Tulca Gabbard and rfk aren't qualified. A president is
(39:51):
entitled to his cabinet. Let me ask you, folks, I
really want to ask you all this question because maybe
I'm wrong, and this is something. But I personally believe
that a president is entitled to his cabinet.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Do you believe that. I respect the Constitution, I respect
the Senate's role of advice and consent. I respect that.
Nowhere in that phrase is obstruct advice consent.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
I respect that, But I just do believe the Democrat
or Republican if the elections on the up and up,
and a president wins an election, well he's entitled to
the advisors that he wants, right, So so of course,
of course, so lots of yes is here, So let
me let me also ask you this then, so and
(40:38):
tell me if I'm wrong, and and Shells bells one percent. Absolutely,
a leader needs his team. I agree, I agree in Boston,
Boston says I couldn't agree more. Sean, it's bs whether
her own Senate asses are doing fire for yet fire
for effect, dropping some f bombs. Thank you for your Canador,
(41:01):
my friend. Okay, So, if we agree that a president
is entitled to his cabinet, a leader needs his team.
If Trump endorses Mike Johnson first speaker. Would that same
logic not apply Trump endorsed Speaker Johnson. Trump has a mandate.
(41:22):
It was a Trump mandate. He overperformed republic statewide Republicans everywhere,
even in the suburbs. As all Trump naysayers would tell you, they, oh,
he's gonna lose the suburbs. Trump overperformed statewide Republicans in
the suburbs. So is so president endorses Speaker Johnson? Is
he entitled to have a speaker of his choice? If
(41:43):
you believe the president's entitled to his cabinet, then I
also believe I'm just trying to be intellectually consistent here,
that he's also entitled to have a speaker of his choice,
and if he chooses Mike Johnson, hey, Trump won the election.
We shouldn't get on board with that too, especially since
there is not a viable conservative that has come forward
(42:04):
to do it. I cannot let good be the enemy
of great?
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Did I say that right?
Speaker 2 (42:11):
Nevertheless, you get my point, And what really concerns me
is that having Trump in the White House with no
bullshit shenanigans taking place is ultimately the most important thing,
Because while Republicans seem poised to infight. The Democrats are
working over time to undermine the President at every turn,
use the power of Congress to thwart the will of
(42:33):
the American people, use the intel community to make President
Trump's next term.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
Hell, they are doing this right now.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
And if we squabble and fight amongst ourselves over a
stupid speaker fight now, I'm not saying this stuff is important.
I'm not saying. I'm just saying there are things that
are more important. Certifying the election on January sixth and
making sure Trump is in the White House on January
twentieth is everything to me. What I am said saying
is that having Trump and the White House is more
(43:04):
important than who's Speaker of the House right this second.
That's what I'm saying. And the fact that Trump has
endorsed Speaker Johnson for the job. Hey, has he been perfect?
Absolutely not, but Trump endorsed him. We should trust Trump.
You know what I mean that. So I'm gonna tell you,
I'm gonna shell you exactly what I mean. But let
(43:26):
me let me tell you about a couple of our sponsors. Sorry,
three hours of radio turn around doing an hour podcast.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
My voice doesn't cut out for this.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
I haven't really built up a tolerance to it yet,
But smash that like button, that little green thumb beneath
the video, Smash that like button. I know it's a holiday,
but we always try to get close to four hundred likes.
It's always tough around the holiday season. But let me
tell you real quickly about Book a Limo. If you're
on the lookout for a top notch transportation service or
limo service, whether it's for corporate travel or any other adventure,
well you are in luck because today got the in
(44:00):
side scoop on a company that's all about luxury, reliability
and exceptional customer service. So I am talking about Book
a Limo. From sleeksdands to spacious SUVs, even sprinter bands
and mini coaches for group travel. Book Olymbus Fleet has
a ride for every style and occasion. If you need
something larger, they've got you covered with motor coaches. Of course,
(44:20):
they've got limousines as well. It's right there in the name.
So what sets book a Limo apart. They're available in
a thousand cities worldwide. They offer all of what I
just told you about at a lower rate than almost
all their competitors, and on par with Uber Black.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
It's amazing. There's a conservative company.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
Plus they run a twenty four to seven in house
operation armed with state of the art technology, so whether
it's the dead night or crack of dawn, you can
pick up the phone and have a direct line to
your driver. Book a Limo is a full service experience,
from professional show first to personalized meet and great services.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
They have it all.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
Give them a call at one eight hundred Book a Limo,
that's one eight hundred Book a Lemo, or book online
at www dot bookaalimo dot com. That's bookalimo dot com.
Trust me, they are your go to for a safe,
luxurious ride that you absolutely positively deserve. Yeah so, folks,
(45:18):
you've seen the headlines, have you. We talked about the
headline of the Hill right on here. How I mean, look,
it's just some whack job leftists in the Hill. But
still they are encouraging Democrat members of Congress to do
(45:40):
everything they can to use the fourteenth Amendment making a
constitutional argument about why they can stop President Trump from
being sworn in. And you can bet that their allies
in the intelligence community are helping them every step of
the way because they don't want Trump being sworn in
either And so while all of this is going on,
(46:04):
I really feel like I want to emphasize this. I
don't want the Republicans fighting.
Speaker 1 (46:10):
Folks.
Speaker 2 (46:10):
Listen, we have the wind at our back right now. Seriously,
the Democrats are in disarray. They don't know what the
hell hit them. In twenty twenty four, I mean, I've
seen clips of Kamala Harris as people of them saying, well, Kamala,
she ain't going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
You're gonna see her very soon.
Speaker 2 (46:27):
Good run her again in twenty eight, Please Democrats run
that more on Kamala Harris at the top of the
ticket again. Somehow you found somebody that was less articulate
than Joe Biden. He's not even barely alive right now.
They've learned nothing. Biden thinks that he shouldn't. He regrets withdrawing.
He thinks that he could have beaten Trump. Biden thinks
(46:48):
that he didn't move out, move faster with lawfare. I mean,
listen to this stuff that this Rick Wilson, who's this
gross dude who the Lincoln Project. Listen to what he's
saying yesterday about Trump' sup order smokes.
Speaker 1 (47:06):
These people have learned no lessons. And while politically that's
good for.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Us, it's bad for us because they're going to keep
pushing the authoritarian fascist nonsense unless somebody holds them, these
people accountable, right, So in order for that to happen,
we got to have Trump in office.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
Okay, but listen to Rick Wilson.
Speaker 4 (47:25):
It's an inevitability that the hyper populist, non college educated
part of Trump's space, which is the plurality at the
minimum of a majority, if you think certain arguments, we're
always going to be preconditioned to believe that the word
immigration or the word visa, always in their minds means
brown people bad. And so they have this belief that
(47:48):
you know, the guy with the ged and his fake
Oakley sunglasses, his goatee and his pickup truck, you know
the universal Twitter bro that you see at every avatar
on Twitter, that guy's thinking of it. Well, well, I
could have been the senior software designer at Google if
only it weren't for DEI or immigration. It's absurd. But
now you see these people that rely on that as
(48:09):
a core part of their business, just like Donald Trump does. Also,
by the way, for service staff at mar A Lago
and other resorts. You see this conflict, it's gonna eventually,
you know, the hyper populous. They don't really care about
the more sophisticated arguments about H one B or one visas.
They care around people that that's their whole that's their
(48:30):
whole driving conditioning they've had for from Fox for years.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
Oh yeah, going with the age old Trump is a
racist argument, right, these people, they don't get it. Not
to mention that Trump made historic gains in just about
every single category. And that moron that I just showed
you was the day before election day said Trump was
gonna lose in embarrassing fashion.
Speaker 1 (48:54):
But it's not just him.
Speaker 2 (48:55):
Listen to Jennifer Ruben, who I don't know if she
still is, but I think thing might still be a
columnist at the Washington Compost.
Speaker 5 (49:03):
Why would ABC Disney, the mouse who has more money
than God settled with Donald Trump?
Speaker 6 (49:12):
I honestly don't know.
Speaker 5 (49:15):
You know, I've asked why would ABC? But people ask
me all the time why is the media so mamsey pamsey?
And there are two explanations. The one is they are
convinced that if they would just move a little bit
to the right, all those maga readers out there. Now,
you'll notice the contradiction in terms MAGA readers would pick
(49:40):
up the Washington Post.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
Oh ha ha ha ha ha. MAGA readers, they're dumb,
they can't read. These people are idiots.
Speaker 2 (49:50):
To fight over a speaker fight, especially when President Trump
has weighed in and given his blessing to speaker Mike
Johnson and squander this extraordinary momentum that we have. Would
would be, would be to give our political enemies a massive,
massive victory. So we have a lot of extraordinary things
(50:15):
going for us. The intel community, yeah, they're going to
be working to try to undermine Trump, but they also
recognize that they are on the ropes in a very
big way. I mean, seriously, listen to John Brennan, who,
by the way, is a Commie mouth breather who was
one hundred percent behind spying on President Trump, one hundred
(50:37):
percent behind the Russia collusion hoax, signed the Laptop from Hell,
the Hunter Biden Laptop Letter. This guy is a hardcore
Democrat hack And just just listen to this.
Speaker 7 (50:47):
John Brennan, who in twenty twenty cold President Trump a
quote despicable, ignorant fool, has a surprising take on the
transition so far.
Speaker 8 (50:58):
Listen here, I think this transition to the there he
was now he's taking place in.
Speaker 6 (51:09):
A more serious and professional fashion than happened in twenty
sixteen twenty seventeen, because you have people like a Marco Rubio,
who has been named to be the next Secretary of State,
who is well steeped in these issues and also takes
them very seriously. And I know that there is engagement
between the Biden Department of State and the incoming Trump team.
Speaker 2 (51:32):
So that snafu was not me. That was on Fox,
but that was that said. Look, this guy is only
saying this because he knows that Trump does like when
people give him kudos, and he's hoping that he won't
be held accountable when Trump takes office and cash Battel
steps in as the FBI director.
Speaker 1 (51:55):
There's no doubt about it. And look, you want to.
Speaker 2 (51:59):
Talk about the Biden crime family, they were totally exposed.
Remember the New York Post headline. The Feds finally released
photos showing then VP Biden meeting sons Hunter Biden business
China business partners days before he leaves office. So this
is first of all, thanks Feds for putting all this
stuff out now is the animated corpses on his way
out of the White House. But this confirms everything that
(52:22):
we already knew, and we've been reporting on this for
the better part of a year, that Biden is a
wholly owned subsidiary of the CCP. People came after me
for saying that, but it's one hundred percent true. There
are pictures of him now out there as a sitting
vice president meeting with President she of China and Hunter Biden, who,
by the way, Hunter Biden was paid in bags full
(52:42):
of diamonds from China, like he's some sort of bond villain.
But the narrative around the Biden crime family is also collapsing.
Speaker 4 (52:50):
Ukraine and also China.
Speaker 9 (52:52):
There's a polling by the Associated Press that shows that
almost seventy percent of Americans, including forty percent of Democrats,
believe that you acted either illegally or unethically in regards
to your family's business interests. Can you explain to the Americans,
to Americans this impeachment in Korea, why you interacted with
so many of your son and brothers foreign business associates.
Speaker 1 (53:14):
I'm not going to comment that I did not, and
especially a bunch.
Speaker 3 (53:17):
Of lies in Liberals Associates, I did not there's lies.
Speaker 1 (53:24):
If he just grumbles lies enough, the world won't believe him,
and the media won't ask any more questions, just like
they didn't ask any damn questions about his age. Oh
my gosh. It's listen.
Speaker 2 (53:35):
Good as winning. Good is winning. But the media they're
doing everything. I'm telling you. I'm telling you they they're
doing everything they can to undermine President Trump. So we
cannot do their work for them. We cannot fight and
(53:56):
squabble over who's going to be a speaker. We cannot
do it, cannot even waste a day. We've got two
years of guaranteed Republican power.
Speaker 1 (54:05):
We should use it.
Speaker 2 (54:06):
We should wield it unapologetically and never look back. And
like you see this other thing, this got left on
the cutting room floor yesterday. I'm not leaving it on
the cutting room floor today. Do you see this, Lina
Wang come out and talk about bird flu? What should
be happening in the Biden administration right now that isn't
(54:27):
going on.
Speaker 3 (54:28):
Yeah, there are two main things that they should be
doing in the days that they have left. The first
is to get testing out there. I feel like we
should have learned our lesson from COVID that just because
we aren't testing it doesn't mean that the virus isn't there.
It just means that we aren't looking for it. We
should be having rapid tests, home tests available to all
farm workers, to their families for the clinicians taking care
(54:48):
of them, so that we aren't waiting for public labs
and CDC labs to tell us what's bird flu or not.
And the second very important thing is this is not
like the beginning of COVID, where we were dealing with
a new virus, we didn't have a vaccine. There actually
is a vaccine developed already against age five and one.
The Biden administration has contracted with the manufacturers to make
(55:09):
almost five million doses of the vaccine. However, they have
not asked the FDA to authorize the vaccine. There's researched
down on it. They could get this authorized now and
also get the vaccine out and to farm workers into
vulnerable people. I think that's the right approach because we
don't know what the Trump administration is going to be
doing around bird flu. If they have people coming in
(55:30):
with anti vaccine stances, could they hold up the vaccine authorization.
If they don't want to know how much bird flu
is out there, could they withhold testing? I mean, that's
a possibility, And I think the Biden administration in the
remaining days should get testing and vaccines widely available so
that at least it empowers state and local health officials
(55:50):
and clinicians to do the right thing for their patients.
Parder Worth.
Speaker 2 (55:53):
So here she's talking about advanced advanced authorization for a
vaccine for bird flu.
Speaker 1 (56:02):
That, by the way, pos is very very very very
very very very minimal risks to humans. We're not going
down this path again. We just aren't. I refuse to
go down this path.
Speaker 2 (56:17):
And listen, I'm telling you they're gonna do everything they can,
including the whole the COVID playbook all over again, to
try to derail President Trump's second term. We can't let
them do it. We cannot infight. So all right, come
to the end of the show. Holy smokes that flew by.
This is crazy how fast this show goes. Make sure
(56:41):
you smash that like button on your way out. I
know it's a holiday. I know we have some people
that would be celebrating New Year's Eve. And by the way,
Robert Malone. I gotta say this because I'm just seeing
this now. Someone sent this to me about Lena When
Malone says this is stunningly irresponsible, Why does quote face
that face the nation give her airtime. There's no public
(57:04):
health emergency, even the CDC says the risk is low.
She seeks to normalize irresponsible, non scientifically and medically sound policies.
This is psychological bioterrorism. And Lina when is a psychological bioterrorist?
Who is she working for? Ooh, Robert Malone, spinning fire.
Had to get you that before we left. Okay, So
(57:25):
Winnie's World, Yeah, exactly. The lefts trying to call people
stupid and uneducated. Yet thank you for the rumble rant tip.
Winnie's World, you are the best. We are so so
grateful for you. Geef Fontes, thanks again, You're a og
regular rumble rant tipper.
Speaker 1 (57:44):
Thank you all for everything.
Speaker 2 (57:47):
Seriously, so to the end of the show, smash that
like button on your way out, and I want you
to just really you know, twenty twenty five is going
to be great Boston. I see your rumble rant, my friend.
Happy New Years to you as well, and we love
you right back at you Boston. Thanks for the rumbel
rant tip. Folks, listen, I want you to have a
(58:10):
happy New Year. We've been through a lot, and we've
been through a lot together. We pushed through a lot together.
You are the best audience in the world, and so
enjoy New Year's Eve any way that you want. Here
in the greatest country on the face of the planet.
And when we see each other, it'll be the year
(58:32):
twenty twenty five, the year of President Donald J.
Speaker 1 (58:35):
Trump.
Speaker 2 (58:36):
So let's pray for Republicans to be strong. Let's pray
for our country to get back on its feet again
after four hard years of the Biden administration. Let's pray
for Donald Trump to have success. Let's pray for Jade
Vance to be right there with him. And as always, folks,
as you're on your way out, happy happy, Happy New Year.
(58:57):
Battle crew, God bless you all, and God less this
amazing country that we call home. Take care, good night,
and I will see you in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (59:08):
Take care,
