Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. He's the host of his self titled
radio program Kurt Nationwide. Here's Michael Barry in for Clay
Travis said, Buck Sexton, Merry Christmas, all. I hope your
(00:22):
holiday was wonderful. Most importantly, the greatest gift is those
we love around us. You know, I feel bad for
the memos and peepaus because when you get to a
certain age, there's nothing you can buy on the shelves
that makes you happy anymore. It's the fellowship of family.
It's hugging those grand babies. And for all of those
(00:43):
out there who did not get to do that, and
maybe this was the second year in a row. I
was having a conversation with a friend of mine this
morning and he was talking about his parents laughed more
than they've ever laughed at Christmas, and they said this
was the most special Christmas because we had to have
it taken away for us to appreciate it. For every
one of you out there who didn't, I don't know
(01:04):
that I can save the wound, but our thoughts and
prayers go out to you. It's a tough time. It's
a tough time. You probably know Joe Biden over the
weekend received a phone call. It was from someone who
had called Norad and they patched him through to the president.
(01:25):
He's a thirty five year old named Jared Schmeck, and
I'd love to have you on the show. Jared. The
phone number is one eight hundred two eight to twenty
eight eighty two. He's gone into hiding after this, as
if he committed some crime. One eight hundred two eight
two twenty eight eighty two. Jared Schmeck, if you're out there,
former police officer in Oregon. They patched him through to
(01:46):
the president. He has his son. He has three kids,
but he has his son with him. They were just
calling to check on Santa status and he gets patched
through to Joe Biden. It's this show, this dog and
pony show of the President wishing someone well who wanted
to know what Santa's update was. But Biden can't do that.
Any attempt to humanize him is always going to fail.
(02:07):
And the scene comes off sort of like Ron Burgundy
in Anchorman. And you'll remember that Fred Willard was so
good as the news director Ed Harkin. He's trying to
keep Ron Burgundy, you know, in his lane, and Ron
Burgundy will read anything that appears on the teleprompter. He's
an anchorman in San Diego and he signs off every
night with stay Classy, san Diego. But Veronica Corningstone, his
(02:31):
former love interest, wants his job. So she tells someone,
if you'll just or she's told, if you'll just put
something on the screen, he'll read it. And so they do,
and they put so f yourself, San Diego, and he
didn't even realize that he had said it. So the
funnier part than him signing off with that was that
(02:52):
he didn't even realize what he'd done. It's sort of
the reverse of Joe Biden, because the only thing worse
than him reading period, pause, plause, line, next sentence in
the middle of the teleprompter is when they take away
the teleprompter and he doesn't realize where he is. And
that's what happened. Jared Schmack said, let's go Brandon, and
(03:12):
Joe Biden had one of those foggy moments where he said,
let's go Brandon. I agree, And there has been a
meltdown over this. How dare you say this to Joe Biden?
Here is the original anchorman scene. I have some information
that you can choose to use or not use. Up
to you. Ron Burgundy will read anything that is put
(03:37):
on that teleprompter. And when I say anything, I mean
Arnold QWA. After the photo Matt was destroyed, the bear
scampered back into the woods. Apparently he wasn't too happy
with his color prints from the entire Channel four news team.
(03:57):
I'm Veronica corning Stone and I'm Ron Burgundy. Go for yourself,
san Diego. What in the name no nobody comes to
nobody seated that way? Ron Brady's grass, nice work. Everyone
(04:22):
Shart broadcasts really good. Everyone on the floor as well.
Imagine you're the Fred Willard, the news director to Joe
Biden's anchor man. Imagine you're his chief of staff. Imagine
you're the guys behind the scene running things and you
have to roll him out there and Jill keep your
hand on him, don't let him say anything dumb, and
(04:44):
you just can't help himself. I have some altimation that
you can choose to use or not to use. Up
to you. Joe Biden will read anything put on that teleprompter.
(05:06):
And when I say anything, I mean amusing I have
a merry Christmas, have a wonderful christer. And by the way,
you guys have to be in bed by nine o'clock,
you know, and a sleep between nine and twelve. Are
you're going to show up? This isn't to you, Jack,
this is to the kids. I hope you have a
(05:28):
wonderful Christmas. Yeah, I hope you guys have a wonderful
Christmas as well. Let's go Brandon. Let's Joe Brandon. I agree,
all right? Now? Who put Let's go Brandon on the teleprompter.
(05:48):
Netflix has a wonderful film out right now that tells
the story of one of my all time heroes, Winston Churchill.
The setting is that Germany has rolled across Poland to
the east, and they smashed through France to the west
across the Ardenne in The situation is dire. Their next
conquest is Great Britain and it looks inevitable. Almost the
(06:10):
entire British army is surrounded by the Germans at Dunkirk
I think it is, or just outside of Dunkirk, and
all hope is lost. It's early May nineteen forty. Neville
Chamberlain steps down as Prime Minister. Lord Halifax is to
be the next prime minister, but despite all odds, Halifax
doesn't want it. Churchill is brought in. He's going to
(06:33):
be the prime minister. Most people in his party want
him to compromise with Hitler to avoid total annihilation of
the military, just like the Rhinos today constantly want to
give votes to build back better or critical race theory,
or election reform or whatever else progressivism demands. But Churchill
stood tall, and he risked it all and he prevailed,
(06:56):
as we know from history. As JFK would later say
in his tribute, Churchill mobilized the English language and sent
it into battle well as his island was on the
verge of falling to the powerful German luftwaff Foot that
nobody could stop. He inspired his countrymen with his words,
(07:16):
but at night he would cajole Fdr. The US had
to come into the war. We had to help turn
the tide. The rest, as they say, is history. That
film is called The Darkest Hour, and I commend it
to you. It was a very dark hour for Britain
and for the cause of freedom around the world. The
(07:38):
tyrants change, the titles change, but the times don't change.
It should also be noted that while Churchill mobilized the
English language and sent it into war, words didn't win
the war warriors did. America's communities mobilized our young men
and sent them into war to aid British and other allies.
(08:02):
Some of them were your fathers, some were your grandfathers.
Many of them died. Had they not gone and fought
so bravely and died, we wouldn't know them as the
greatest generation. But we do because because they did. I'd
(08:23):
like to spend the first part of this hour talking
about people who are fighting wars abroad and at home
against the enemies of our state and our people, the
enemies of freedom. I'd like to profile some everyday heroes.
Some of them names you'll recognize in some of them
you won't. Because just like you have to support a
(08:45):
band in order to launch them from the garage to
the local club to the national stage, we have to
support and promote people who are doing the right things.
We're very good at criticizing those we don't like. It's
time we compliment those who do. In the next hour,
we'll talk to Nick Sercy. His new film is Capital
Punishment the Movie, and it tells the story of what
(09:06):
really happened on January sixth and afterwards, and then after
that we'll take some of your calls and we'll talk
to Marcus Latrelle about the death of a very famous
Navy seal over the weekend. I'm Michael Berry in for
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Started driving call and let
us know at one eight hundred two eight two two
(09:27):
eight eight two Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the
EIB Network. A proud Eustonian. Here's Michael Berry from news
radio seven forty KTRH on the EIB Network. Two things
(09:50):
on the website claimbuck dot com. There's a guest host
piece to the side, and Dean Kerry Ennis has written
a piece titled under Biden. Media now condemns outspoken soldiers.
US service members swear a military oath, not the mafia's
oath of omerta. The idea that if you're a member
(10:15):
of the military and you can't speak out is very disturbing,
especially because for years that was something that we celebrated.
That pieces at Klaymbuck dot com. There was no Russian
collusion with President Trump. That was a hoax. Jesse Smollett
wasn't hanged or beaten by white men in maga hats
(10:37):
while he was out looking for a foot long at
two am. These hoaxes are carried out. I was talking
to Jack Posobik a couple of weeks ago, a few
weeks ago, and I said, somebody needs to tell the
story about January sixth. He said, Nick Searcy has and
that's what we want you to hear now. Well, a
very special guest, Nick Searcy, who is a dear friend
(10:59):
of mine, and you know him as a very famous actor.
He was Injustified, he was in fact, that's where I
first really notice his acting chops and decided I'm going
to be friends with that guy. Fried Green, Tomatoes, the Billboard, movie,
you name it. He's been in it, I mean, more
movies than you can possibly imagine. He's a very famous actor.
(11:23):
But four years ago today he was a talk show host.
Four years ago today, Nick Sercy was guest hosting for
Rush Limbaugh. How cool was that? It was amazing? It
was just a dream come true. You know, I'm just
some kid who you know, grew up in North Carolina
(11:45):
and I found Russia on the radio and I listened
to him for twenty years, and he kind of got
me through the Hollywood years, you know, with a little sanity,
and then it's just so such a bizarre turn of
events that I wound up doing that. He became a
fan because it justified too, and we got to talking
and it all happened that way. It was very, very gratifying. Well,
(12:08):
folks who may not know your name because they don't
know actors names will remember your show because you talked
about Rastling the whole time. And I remember, I'm listening
in and I'm rooting for my buddy because you're filling
in for Rush. And this is a highlight of my
career as a talk show host. You know, Clay and
Buck know what a what a Rush nut I am,
(12:29):
and I love those guys. And for me to get
to fill in and talk to his audience, it'll always
be Russia's audience. And those guys will tell you that.
But for you, who was not a talk show host,
to be getting to do that, and here you were
explaining how Trump uses wrestling strategies as a president, as
(12:50):
a candidate, as a leader, and really explaining it because
you've done a documentary on wrestling. I thought that was
really cool, and I guarantee you people remember you for that. Yeah,
people do mention the Trump, the Trump wrestling heel analogies
with the color. Yeah. Well and it was well done. Well.
Now four years later, you're on the show, The Clay
(13:13):
and Buck Show talking to Rush's audience with me, Michael Berry.
He's Nick Serc s E A r C Y, And
I am so excited. You know, I interview people that
write books or make movies every day. I can't ever
read the book or watch the movie before I interview
them because there are too many of them. I just
don't have enough hours off air. This one was very
(13:34):
important to me, Nick, as I told you, but I'm
going to retell it again. I was talking to Jack
Posovik about the Capitol protest on January sixth, a couple
of weeks ago, and I said, you know, somebody needs
to tell the story of what really happened, because because
this is a national tragedy. I mean, I mean, this
(13:55):
is as awful as it gets. And these people were imprisoned,
and we've been told it was an insurrection and it
wasn't and all these different things, and they're doing this
to keep Trump from running and that's what's happening, and
to silence Trump supporters that they'll be afraid. And that's
how they've done this whole thing. I said, somebody needs
to do something about it. And even though Jack's in
your film, because we were talking so fast and moving
back and forth, I didn't know that you'd already made
(14:17):
the movie. You've made the documentary which the next day
I talked to you. You send me the link. I
watch it. It's called Capital Punishment Capital t O L
C A p I t O L and it's about
what happened on January sixth and what has happened since.
And I'm going to tell you something. Folks. You don't
know me long enough to trust my recommendations, and I
(14:38):
don't tell you to buy something or see something. Often
if you watch one movie this year, this is the one.
It will make your blood boil, but it will inform
you in ways. You're going to learn things that you
thought you knew. But there's no news network telling you this.
So nixt start the story with your involvement on January
(14:58):
sixth and how the film came well. I went to
Washington on January sixth. It was kind of a last
minute decision. I didn't really go there with the idea
of making a film. I just went because I wanted
to be part of the crowd. I wanted to be
part of history. I thought it was important, and I
was on my way back east anyway, so I just
(15:19):
went there and walked around like a tourist and talked
to people and made some little iPhone videos or whatever.
And I saw just a remarkably happy and joyful crowd.
I mean they were there for a serious purpose that
they were smiling and saying the Pledge of Allegiance and
praying and singing hymns and waving flags. And to me,
(15:41):
it just looked like a tailgate party. It didn't look
like didn't anything violent at all. I didn't see any
of it. And when I got home that night and
started watching the news, it was nothing that I saw
on television was like anything that I personally had experienced.
So that's kind of how the idea for a movie
came about. And as the months rolled on and I've
(16:03):
heard about people being arrested and some people being sort
of about breaking down their doors and that sort of thing,
I just started to think, Okay, there's something I don't
know why they're lying to us. I don't know why
they aren't showing us the size of the crowd. I
don't know why they aren't showing the people that were
there peacefully praying and singing. They're only showing us this
(16:26):
one thing, this one aspect of it. So that's that's
kind of how I decided we need to make a
movie about this. We need to find out why they're
lying to us and what the narrative they're trying to
push really means for our country. So you're a storyteller
through film, and you tell the story very effectively by
showing real time footage because you had no idea what
(16:47):
was going to happen on that day. And you see
the people, they're having so much fun. They're just delighted,
they're enjoying themselves. Let's I want to take some pieces
of the film that really stuck out to me. One
of them was that they have edited President Trump's speech
to make it sound like he was saying, now, march
over to the Capitol and burn the place down, when
(17:09):
in fact that's the exact opposite of what he said,
isn't it. Yeah, I mean he had a little part
of his speech where he said I know now that
some of you may walk over to the Capitol and
peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. And they took
that part out. They took out peacefully and patriotically make
(17:29):
your voices heard, and they edited it together. I know
some of you are going to go to the Capitol now,
and we will never take this country back with weakness.
So they edit it together, and in the film you
can see they put up on the screen words and
violence to make it look like Trump's words caused the violence,
and they ended out peacefully and patriotically. I mean, the
(17:52):
level of deception here is so blatant and just so
in your face. The way they lie. They're not even
trying to hide it anymore, Michael. They just do it
and say well. They never take it back, they never apologize,
they just move on to the next lie. It's really appalling, Affiliates.
(18:13):
We're going to go to break a little bit early,
which is in just a moment, so we have enough
time that can ask some longer questions in the next segment,
and you're going to learn how BLM and FBI were
involved on January sixth, and it is disturbing. We're talking
to Nick Sercy. The movie is Capital Punishment, the movie
dot Com. I'm Michael Berry And for Clay Travis and
(18:35):
Buck Sexton continuing the message honoring the memory Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton on the EIB network, you cannot ignore
what is being done with January sixth. First of all,
(18:58):
a lie, if hold often enough, takes on the patina
of the truth. And a lot of our neighbors believe
that January sixth was somehow an insurrection, an attempt to
violently overthrow the government. None of that is true. None
of it is true. You have to stand up to
(19:19):
these things. You had to stand up to the Jesse
Smillett hoax because otherwise they'd tell you it was true.
That's why Special Prosecutor Dan Webb deserves so much credit,
because he doggedly pursued that case and proved that Jesse
Smollett lied for a reason. There was a reason he lied,
(19:42):
there was a reason he made it out that it
was Trump supporters. He would be that there was a
new surround his neck. He couldn't just say that some guys.
I mean, let's be honest. It's two o'clock in the
morning downtown ice cold Chicago. White guys are not assaulting
a black guy at two o'clock in the morning in
(20:05):
downtown Chicago. It's not happening. Their shootings going on, but
that's not what's happening. But why did he alter that description?
Why did he create that scenario because it made him
so much more sympathetic. He wanted to stay on the
TV show and he was about to be kicked off,
(20:26):
and so he set this whole thing up to make
himself a sympathetic victim. The Rolling Stone magazine story that
they lost all the money when they were sued over
what happened. Why did they claim it was white frat
boys who raped this girl Because that's toxic masculinity. It
couldn't be a black guy, couldn't be a Hispanic guy,
(20:46):
it couldn't be a Pakistani guy, a Muslim kid had
to be white Southern gentleman. The Duke Lacrosse story. Why
did Nifong push that story? Oh, these white rich kids
from New York coming down to Duke driving BMW's and rape.
That was a hoax. It was a hoax so knifehone
could get reelected. This January sixth lie, this insurrection, deadly violence.
(21:10):
All this In fact, Meet the Press over the weekend.
Last weekend, Meet the Press had an in memorium of
twenty twenty one those who died this year, and they
had six police officers who died, and they said died
in the Capitol insurrection. Well that's not true. They weren't killed.
(21:31):
They died of strokes and heart attacks. Maybe because they
were made to keep secrets. Who planned in those pipe bombs?
Will we ever know? Why doesn't anybody talk about it?
Why isn't the January sixth Committee investigating that? Look, I'm
not a conspiracy guy. I'm not and I've never been
one for those. I think you lose your credibility when
you chase conspiracies. But what happens when the conspiracy is true?
(21:56):
Do you just ignore it because it's inconvenient. Let's go
to Joe in Jacksonville, Florida. Joe, you're on the Clay
and Buck Show. I'm Michael Berry guest hosting. Go ahead,
my man. Well, Michael, thank you for taking my call.
Unfortunately I never got to do this with the Honorable
Russia Limbaugh. But I think you're doing a fine job today.
(22:17):
From the Great State of Texas. Okay. So I actually
went up to DC on January sixth because my son
was a first time voter, and with that first time voter,
I was retired Navy at the time and had not
started with my new company, so I was watching all
these hearings on TV and stuff, and things just did
(22:39):
not add up with the election. So we wanted to
as a first time voter that he was, I wanted
to show him the First Amendment process and really explain
that or make a demonstration that nobody was looking into
the election anomalies. And I've done various handouts, various things
(23:03):
here locally in the Saint John's area, and everybody that
I've ever stood on a street corner with said, you know,
if you can answer all these questions, we accept the election,
no problem. But our issue was nobody was looking into it. Now.
What I saw there that day was a lot of
peaceful people, and the crowd had to be closer to
(23:24):
a million than tens of thousands or one hundred of thousand.
It was. It was just absolutely crazy. But I got
robbed of my moment to really make a peaceful protest
by whatever actors that came in. And when I say actors,
I do not mean that they were acting. I'm not
(23:45):
saying any of that conspiracy stuff. I'm just saying that
whatever personnel were doing whatever actions. Because on the west
side of the Capitol, towards the White House, there was
a bunch of people on the balconies so on and
so forth, and there was you know, like somemoke grades
And as we were washed walking down, I hear flashbags
(24:08):
and I was like, what the heck is going on?
And it was a little bit chaotic. Now, some people
in the crowd were kind of trying to motivate some
people on um, you know, I told my son, we're
not doing any of that, and we're standing back here,
and other people were you know, I saw some people
(24:29):
on the crowd earlier, you know, they had like tactical
gloves on, and they go, oh, were you prior service now?
And I'm like, I thought it was just kind of
odd with the way some people were dressed and looking
at it. In hindsight, it seemed a little bit weird
to me. But when you say, do you mean it
didn't seem authentic or it didn't seem in keeping with
(24:52):
a tea party type protest. What do you mean, I weird?
They seemed out of place. Okay, well connected dots are
you suggesting? Because in Nick Ersey's film, he has footage
of folks who show up who are not part of
the the you know, sort of Trump crowd, and they
show up in their gear and then they change into
(25:13):
Trump attire in the bushes and they're angry that they're
being filmed. He has footage of the guy that is
accused of being an FBI operative who's trying to get
people to storm the gates. He's there for those two days.
There's John ear O'Sullivan who goes by Jaden X, who's
a former BLM member. There are lots of ANTIFA folks
who were there. Is that what you mean by weird?
(25:36):
I would say out of place? And I don't know
who their association was with. But you don't trust that
they were authentic Trump supporters. Affirmative, Yes, I believe that
because the authentic Trump supporters there, they were very smiling.
We took a walk around the you know a lot
of people went around and looked at the World War
(25:57):
Two Memorial, went down to the Lincoln Memorial to electing Pond.
I mean DC is a wonderful place to visit. If
it's not fenced off. Um, you can see a lot
of monuments. And my son had the opportunity to go
see those things in people were polite and kind that
were there just as I was. And you say, he's
(26:19):
the first time voter. Uh, he's twenty now, this was
his first presidential and uh. And what did he think? Uh? Well,
he thought, you know, what the heck is going on?
And I don't know. I think he thought that certain
(26:41):
actions couldn't be ignored. But I said, this is a
little bit some of it was a little bit out
of control. And I said, all those people up there
that are hanging out and uh, up on the on
the west side balcony of the Capitol. I said, those
people are going to get arrested. That's just a bad move. Well,
but I'm not sure who put them up to that.
(27:02):
Let me say this, Joe, I think you're a great
dad for taking your son at a moment like that
to be a part of history. And I am sorry
that some people besmirched that memory. But I think you'll
look back in time and be glad you did it.
Thank you for your service to this country. More of
your calls coming up one eight hundred two eight two
eight eight two. I'm Michael Berry. And for Clay Travis
(27:24):
and Buck Sexton, half their brains tied behind their backs.
Just to make it fair, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton
on the EIB network, we are endeavoring folks to have
Marcus Latruelle on the air. With the passing of an
(27:47):
absolute legend of a Navy seal. He seemed to me
to be a good choice to comment on that. Marcus
is like Jocko will Link and a few other guys,
one of the people who in the Navy seal community.
A lot of those guys all tend to know each other,
and he could put into perspective what the passing of
(28:08):
this man of Vietnam veteran, a founder of Seal Team six,
a founder of Red Cell, the Rogue Warrior demo Dick
they called him Richard Marchinko. Pretty impressive, dude. If we
get Marcus in just a moment, I will immediately put
him on. You look at the news stories, headline after headline.
(28:32):
United Airlines canceled to forced to cancel thousands of flights
over the Christmas weekend because of staffing shortages. Other airlines
forced to cancel flight after flight after flight because of
staffing shortages. You know what the staffing shortages. It's not
(28:53):
people with COVID, it's people who refuse the vaccine mandate.
So the airlines were given this mandate and now they
You know, you don't just go grab a pilot. This
isn't a waiter at a restaurant. This isn't just digging
a ditch. It's a highly sophisticated skill. Go back and
(29:15):
watch Sully land those folks on the Hudson and save
those lives. I can't do it, and you can't either,
And don't tell me I'm that you have your pilot's
license because you can fly a little twin engine I'm
talking about. These are big planes and there are very
few people in the world that can do this, and
we can't afford to lose them, just as we can't
afford to lose our marines who were being we're watching
(29:41):
being kicked out. You know how much it costs in
actual dollars to train somebody to be a marine And
for us to say, well, if you won't get this,
this jab it's not even a vaccine. It's not even
a vaccine. If you won't get this JAB, then then
we're gonna kick you out. Do you know how much
(30:04):
money we spend recruiting television ads, NFL promotions, recruiters. You
ever looked at the numbers of how many recruiters took
their own lives when the when the Afghan War was
in full swing. I think, well, I don't don't get
(30:24):
me lying. I want to say it was one a week,
but I could be wrong, because you go into high
schools and you take these these fair haired boys, these
these young kids, out of their neighborhoods, out of their
high school and you send them off and they end
up dead. That is a tough burden for somebody to bear,
(30:45):
and it's something that recruiters have had a lot of
difficulty with. You're trying to convince somebody that has the
world ahead of them to make the huge sacrifice to
give up everything and go and serve our country in
a wartime situation. And we get a young man that
far along in the process or woman not far along
(31:08):
in the process, and we kick them out over this JAB.
We're doing it to nurses, all the healthcare workers who
refused to get the JAB at least thirteen states now
face hospital worker shortages from people who refuse to get
the vaccine, and now we're kicking them out, and now
(31:30):
they're having to bring in the National Garden in New York.
Over this, we have Marcus Latrelle on the line, lone survivor,
My honor, sir, how are you brother with having him? Man?
How are you Mary? Marcus? Yeah? You got me tell
me who Richard Marchinko was put into perspective, this man
that I've read about. All right, So in our community,
(31:56):
imagine in every community, whether it's football, wrestling, the sporting event,
there's always there's there's a handful of them in there's
a lot of great ones, but then there's a handful
of them in them when you even when the great
wind say their name, they're like, oh yeah, yeah, I
knew that dude. And when we were kids because he
was a Vietnam guy. So when the Seals were enveloped
(32:16):
from the UDT Frogman into transitioning to full fledged Navy Seals,
that that middle integration part. They took the best of
the best from all of those platforms, put them together
and created the kind of outline of what we're what
we formed into today. When you go ahead, I'm sorry,
(32:37):
my go ahead. When you wrote Lone Survivor, that was
a wind. That was the first window for a lot
of folks into what exactly the Navy Seals are and
what you go through. You told me one time that
every every Navy Seal dies for a moment during training.
I don't I really didn't grasp what you go through.
So there was a time for the Navy Seals that
(33:00):
this guy had to come up through the ranks. In fact,
he signed up for the for the Marines but didn't
have his diploma. They kick him out and he goes
into the Navy. This is one of the guys that
is the reason we have in Navy Seals, right, Yes,
correct that that's absolutely correct. So um and you you
said that a great way when um pay titles and
(33:24):
and and kind of what you know about the Navy
and the Navy Seal teams and just look at him
as an individual adventurer. I mean, what the United States
has created in the Navy Seal Teams and what what
has developed itself into is absolutely amazing, especially looking at
it from my perspective of being on the outside of
it now looking back in at the guys and what
(33:44):
they're capable of, and talking about a UM. You want
to see a perfect example of like actually holding onto
a rag bag, you know, rag tag bunch of guys,
like giving them a chance to do something what they're
actually good at and capable at and training at. Uh.
It was that square he ran into it. A lot
of people are familiar with UM, like still Team six,
(34:05):
well that there was a group before that he was
on the He developed that and that's what actually turned
into Seal Team six. And to backing up even further,
you said that a lot of people are aware of
what I went through, and that brought them into the
Seal teams or made them aware. It was the same
thing he did that for me. My father actually brought
in to my attention Rogue Warrior when that sucker came out.
I remember reading that and every time about having you
(34:26):
got to be able to bench five hundred pounds, you
got to carry your own way and do this many
pull ups. I can't even do one pull up. I
remember that, and I was like, there's no way I
could make it into that program. And I started training
for it to see if I could do that, and uh,
which eventually I did. It's unbelievable. Well, no matter how
far down the rung you are, just remember that it
(34:47):
always starts with one one push up or one pull
up and he uh, then he got to do so
many things throughout his career that that opened up all
military wide to our security platforms. I mean, that's basically
what he did. He would go in and test our
own security against ourselves and whip our own ass. And
how great is that job? When you when he would
(35:10):
come around, he would just drop that knowledge. Of course,
he always he never talked to us straight up because
we were new guys. If you're one class in the
field teams, if you've graduated one buds class under another guy,
you're still weak. Budge is easier, shut your mouth. You're
a new guy. That kind of thing I got about
forty five seconds, Marcus. If you had met him, you'd
seen him a week ago, and y'all already gathering, let's say,
(35:32):
Navy seal gathering, how would you how would you address him?
I'll call him certain that were talking about. But then
I would also tell him, thank you for everything you did,
thank you for creating the path. And I was allowed
to to walk through and be a part of us,
and for never giving up on yourself and for the
teams and the good times and then the bad, and
(35:52):
showing America that doesn't matter where you come from or
what you think you're capable of. This family can get
you through anything. And we've designed programs in our own
in our own community to allow that. And he was
a pioneer and we're gonna miss him and we'll celebrate,
I mean, so, you know, until there's no more. Frogman left.
(36:14):
Four Bronze Stars, silver Star, Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry, thirty
four citations and medals. The Rogue Warrior Dick Marchinko, founder
of Seal Team six, was with Red Cell before that
in an era of soft men. I'm grateful for this
one we've lost, and for you, Marcus Latrelle, Thank you brother.
All right, bro, I'm Michael Berry. And for Clay Travis
(36:35):
and Buck Sexton Clay in Buck inspired by Rush the
Next Generation because it's just too important on the EIB
network
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. He's the host of his self titled
radio program Kurt Nationwide. Here's Michael Barry in for Clay
Travis said, Buck Sexton, Merry Christmas, all. I hope your
(00:22):
holiday was wonderful. Most importantly, the greatest gift is those
we love around us. You know, I feel bad for
the memos and peepaus because when you get to a
certain age, there's nothing you can buy on the shelves
that makes you happy anymore. It's the fellowship of family.
It's hugging those grand babies. And for all of those
(00:43):
out there who did not get to do that, and
maybe this was the second year in a row. I
was having a conversation with a friend of mine this
morning and he was talking about his parents laughed more
than they've ever laughed at Christmas, and they said this
was the most special Christmas because we had to have
it taken away for us to appreciate it. For every
one of you out there who didn't, I don't know
(01:04):
that I can save the wound, but our thoughts and
prayers go out to you. It's a tough time. It's
a tough time. You probably know Joe Biden over the
weekend received a phone call. It was from someone who
had called Norad and they patched him through to the president.
(01:25):
He's a thirty five year old named Jared Schmeck, and
I'd love to have you on the show. Jared. The
phone number is one eight hundred two eight to twenty
eight eighty two. He's gone into hiding after this, as
if he committed some crime. One eight hundred two eight
two twenty eight eighty two. Jared Schmeck, if you're out there,
former police officer in Oregon. They patched him through to
(01:46):
the president. He has his son. He has three kids,
but he has his son with him. They were just
calling to check on Santa status and he gets patched
through to Joe Biden. It's this show, this dog and
pony show of the President wishing someone well who wanted
to know what Santa's update was. But Biden can't do that.
Any attempt to humanize him is always going to fail.
(02:07):
And the scene comes off sort of like Ron Burgundy
in Anchorman. And you'll remember that Fred Willard was so
good as the news director Ed Harkin. He's trying to
keep Ron Burgundy, you know, in his lane, and Ron
Burgundy will read anything that appears on the teleprompter. He's
an anchorman in San Diego and he signs off every
night with stay Classy, san Diego. But Veronica Corningstone, his
(02:31):
former love interest, wants his job. So she tells someone,
if you'll just or she's told, if you'll just put
something on the screen, he'll read it. And so they do,
and they put so f yourself, San Diego, and he
didn't even realize that he had said it. So the
funnier part than him signing off with that was that
(02:52):
he didn't even realize what he'd done. It's sort of
the reverse of Joe Biden, because the only thing worse
than him reading period, pause, plause, line, next sentence in
the middle of the teleprompter is when they take away
the teleprompter and he doesn't realize where he is. And
that's what happened. Jared Schmack said, let's go Brandon, and
(03:12):
Joe Biden had one of those foggy moments where he said,
let's go Brandon. I agree, And there has been a
meltdown over this. How dare you say this to Joe Biden?
Here is the original anchorman scene. I have some information
that you can choose to use or not use. Up
to you. Ron Burgundy will read anything that is put
(03:37):
on that teleprompter. And when I say anything, I mean
Arnold QWA. After the photo Matt was destroyed, the bear
scampered back into the woods. Apparently he wasn't too happy
with his color prints from the entire Channel four news team.
(03:57):
I'm Veronica corning Stone and I'm Ron Burgundy. Go for yourself,
san Diego. What in the name no nobody comes to
nobody seated that way? Ron Brady's grass, nice work. Everyone
(04:22):
Shart broadcasts really good. Everyone on the floor as well.
Imagine you're the Fred Willard, the news director to Joe
Biden's anchor man. Imagine you're his chief of staff. Imagine
you're the guys behind the scene running things and you
have to roll him out there and Jill keep your
hand on him, don't let him say anything dumb, and
(04:44):
you just can't help himself. I have some altimation that
you can choose to use or not to use. Up
to you. Joe Biden will read anything put on that teleprompter.
(05:06):
And when I say anything, I mean amusing I have
a merry Christmas, have a wonderful christer. And by the way,
you guys have to be in bed by nine o'clock,
you know, and a sleep between nine and twelve. Are
you're going to show up? This isn't to you, Jack,
this is to the kids. I hope you have a
(05:28):
wonderful Christmas. Yeah, I hope you guys have a wonderful
Christmas as well. Let's go Brandon. Let's Joe Brandon. I agree,
all right? Now? Who put Let's go Brandon on the teleprompter.
(05:48):
Netflix has a wonderful film out right now that tells
the story of one of my all time heroes, Winston Churchill.
The setting is that Germany has rolled across Poland to
the east, and they smashed through France to the west
across the Ardenne in The situation is dire. Their next
conquest is Great Britain and it looks inevitable. Almost the
(06:10):
entire British army is surrounded by the Germans at Dunkirk
I think it is, or just outside of Dunkirk, and
all hope is lost. It's early May nineteen forty. Neville
Chamberlain steps down as Prime Minister. Lord Halifax is to
be the next prime minister, but despite all odds, Halifax
doesn't want it. Churchill is brought in. He's going to
(06:33):
be the prime minister. Most people in his party want
him to compromise with Hitler to avoid total annihilation of
the military, just like the Rhinos today constantly want to
give votes to build back better or critical race theory,
or election reform or whatever else progressivism demands. But Churchill
stood tall, and he risked it all and he prevailed,
(06:56):
as we know from history. As JFK would later say
in his tribute, Churchill mobilized the English language and sent
it into battle well as his island was on the
verge of falling to the powerful German luftwaff Foot that
nobody could stop. He inspired his countrymen with his words,
(07:16):
but at night he would cajole Fdr. The US had
to come into the war. We had to help turn
the tide. The rest, as they say, is history. That
film is called The Darkest Hour, and I commend it
to you. It was a very dark hour for Britain
and for the cause of freedom around the world. The
(07:38):
tyrants change, the titles change, but the times don't change.
It should also be noted that while Churchill mobilized the
English language and sent it into war, words didn't win
the war warriors did. America's communities mobilized our young men
and sent them into war to aid British and other allies.
(08:02):
Some of them were your fathers, some were your grandfathers.
Many of them died. Had they not gone and fought
so bravely and died, we wouldn't know them as the
greatest generation. But we do because because they did. I'd
(08:23):
like to spend the first part of this hour talking
about people who are fighting wars abroad and at home
against the enemies of our state and our people, the
enemies of freedom. I'd like to profile some everyday heroes.
Some of them names you'll recognize in some of them
you won't. Because just like you have to support a
(08:45):
band in order to launch them from the garage to
the local club to the national stage, we have to
support and promote people who are doing the right things.
We're very good at criticizing those we don't like. It's
time we compliment those who do. In the next hour,
we'll talk to Nick Sercy. His new film is Capital
Punishment the Movie, and it tells the story of what
(09:06):
really happened on January sixth and afterwards, and then after
that we'll take some of your calls and we'll talk
to Marcus Latrelle about the death of a very famous
Navy seal over the weekend. I'm Michael Berry in for
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Started driving call and let
us know at one eight hundred two eight two two
(09:27):
eight eight two Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the
EIB Network. A proud Eustonian. Here's Michael Berry from news
radio seven forty KTRH on the EIB Network. Two things
(09:50):
on the website claimbuck dot com. There's a guest host
piece to the side, and Dean Kerry Ennis has written
a piece titled under Biden. Media now condemns outspoken soldiers.
US service members swear a military oath, not the mafia's
oath of omerta. The idea that if you're a member
(10:15):
of the military and you can't speak out is very disturbing,
especially because for years that was something that we celebrated.
That pieces at Klaymbuck dot com. There was no Russian
collusion with President Trump. That was a hoax. Jesse Smollett
wasn't hanged or beaten by white men in maga hats
(10:37):
while he was out looking for a foot long at
two am. These hoaxes are carried out. I was talking
to Jack Posobik a couple of weeks ago, a few
weeks ago, and I said, somebody needs to tell the
story about January sixth. He said, Nick Searcy has and
that's what we want you to hear now. Well, a
very special guest, Nick Searcy, who is a dear friend
(10:59):
of mine, and you know him as a very famous actor.
He was Injustified, he was in fact, that's where I
first really notice his acting chops and decided I'm going
to be friends with that guy. Fried Green, Tomatoes, the Billboard, movie,
you name it. He's been in it, I mean, more
movies than you can possibly imagine. He's a very famous actor.
(11:23):
But four years ago today he was a talk show host.
Four years ago today, Nick Sercy was guest hosting for
Rush Limbaugh. How cool was that? It was amazing? It
was just a dream come true. You know, I'm just
some kid who you know, grew up in North Carolina
(11:45):
and I found Russia on the radio and I listened
to him for twenty years, and he kind of got
me through the Hollywood years, you know, with a little sanity,
and then it's just so such a bizarre turn of
events that I wound up doing that. He became a
fan because it justified too, and we got to talking
and it all happened that way. It was very, very gratifying. Well,
(12:08):
folks who may not know your name because they don't
know actors names will remember your show because you talked
about Rastling the whole time. And I remember, I'm listening
in and I'm rooting for my buddy because you're filling
in for Rush. And this is a highlight of my
career as a talk show host. You know, Clay and
Buck know what a what a Rush nut I am,
(12:29):
and I love those guys. And for me to get
to fill in and talk to his audience, it'll always
be Russia's audience. And those guys will tell you that.
But for you, who was not a talk show host,
to be getting to do that, and here you were
explaining how Trump uses wrestling strategies as a president, as
(12:50):
a candidate, as a leader, and really explaining it because
you've done a documentary on wrestling. I thought that was
really cool, and I guarantee you people remember you for that. Yeah,
people do mention the Trump, the Trump wrestling heel analogies
with the color. Yeah. Well and it was well done. Well.
Now four years later, you're on the show, The Clay
(13:13):
and Buck Show talking to Rush's audience with me, Michael Berry.
He's Nick Serc s E A r C Y, And
I am so excited. You know, I interview people that
write books or make movies every day. I can't ever
read the book or watch the movie before I interview
them because there are too many of them. I just
don't have enough hours off air. This one was very
(13:34):
important to me, Nick, as I told you, but I'm
going to retell it again. I was talking to Jack
Posovik about the Capitol protest on January sixth, a couple
of weeks ago, and I said, you know, somebody needs
to tell the story of what really happened, because because
this is a national tragedy. I mean, I mean, this
(13:55):
is as awful as it gets. And these people were imprisoned,
and we've been told it was an insurrection and it
wasn't and all these different things, and they're doing this
to keep Trump from running and that's what's happening, and
to silence Trump supporters that they'll be afraid. And that's
how they've done this whole thing. I said, somebody needs
to do something about it. And even though Jack's in
your film, because we were talking so fast and moving
back and forth, I didn't know that you'd already made
(14:17):
the movie. You've made the documentary which the next day
I talked to you. You send me the link. I
watch it. It's called Capital Punishment Capital t O L
C A p I t O L and it's about
what happened on January sixth and what has happened since.
And I'm going to tell you something. Folks. You don't
know me long enough to trust my recommendations, and I
(14:38):
don't tell you to buy something or see something. Often
if you watch one movie this year, this is the one.
It will make your blood boil, but it will inform
you in ways. You're going to learn things that you
thought you knew. But there's no news network telling you this.
So nixt start the story with your involvement on January
(14:58):
sixth and how the film came well. I went to
Washington on January sixth. It was kind of a last
minute decision. I didn't really go there with the idea
of making a film. I just went because I wanted
to be part of the crowd. I wanted to be
part of history. I thought it was important, and I
was on my way back east anyway, so I just
(15:19):
went there and walked around like a tourist and talked
to people and made some little iPhone videos or whatever.
And I saw just a remarkably happy and joyful crowd.
I mean they were there for a serious purpose that
they were smiling and saying the Pledge of Allegiance and
praying and singing hymns and waving flags. And to me,
(15:41):
it just looked like a tailgate party. It didn't look
like didn't anything violent at all. I didn't see any
of it. And when I got home that night and
started watching the news, it was nothing that I saw
on television was like anything that I personally had experienced.
So that's kind of how the idea for a movie
came about. And as the months rolled on and I've
(16:03):
heard about people being arrested and some people being sort
of about breaking down their doors and that sort of thing,
I just started to think, Okay, there's something I don't
know why they're lying to us. I don't know why
they aren't showing us the size of the crowd. I
don't know why they aren't showing the people that were
there peacefully praying and singing. They're only showing us this
(16:26):
one thing, this one aspect of it. So that's that's
kind of how I decided we need to make a
movie about this. We need to find out why they're
lying to us and what the narrative they're trying to
push really means for our country. So you're a storyteller
through film, and you tell the story very effectively by
showing real time footage because you had no idea what
(16:47):
was going to happen on that day. And you see
the people, they're having so much fun. They're just delighted,
they're enjoying themselves. Let's I want to take some pieces
of the film that really stuck out to me. One
of them was that they have edited President Trump's speech
to make it sound like he was saying, now, march
over to the Capitol and burn the place down, when
(17:09):
in fact that's the exact opposite of what he said,
isn't it. Yeah, I mean he had a little part
of his speech where he said I know now that
some of you may walk over to the Capitol and
peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. And they took
that part out. They took out peacefully and patriotically make
(17:29):
your voices heard, and they edited it together. I know
some of you are going to go to the Capitol now,
and we will never take this country back with weakness.
So they edit it together, and in the film you
can see they put up on the screen words and
violence to make it look like Trump's words caused the violence,
and they ended out peacefully and patriotically. I mean, the
(17:52):
level of deception here is so blatant and just so
in your face. The way they lie. They're not even
trying to hide it anymore, Michael. They just do it
and say well. They never take it back, they never apologize,
they just move on to the next lie. It's really appalling, Affiliates.
(18:13):
We're going to go to break a little bit early,
which is in just a moment, so we have enough
time that can ask some longer questions in the next segment,
and you're going to learn how BLM and FBI were
involved on January sixth, and it is disturbing. We're talking
to Nick Sercy. The movie is Capital Punishment, the movie
dot Com. I'm Michael Berry And for Clay Travis and
(18:35):
Buck Sexton continuing the message honoring the memory Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton on the EIB network, you cannot ignore
what is being done with January sixth. First of all,
(18:58):
a lie, if hold often enough, takes on the patina
of the truth. And a lot of our neighbors believe
that January sixth was somehow an insurrection, an attempt to
violently overthrow the government. None of that is true. None
of it is true. You have to stand up to
(19:19):
these things. You had to stand up to the Jesse
Smillett hoax because otherwise they'd tell you it was true.
That's why Special Prosecutor Dan Webb deserves so much credit,
because he doggedly pursued that case and proved that Jesse
Smollett lied for a reason. There was a reason he lied,
(19:42):
there was a reason he made it out that it
was Trump supporters. He would be that there was a
new surround his neck. He couldn't just say that some guys.
I mean, let's be honest. It's two o'clock in the
morning downtown ice cold Chicago. White guys are not assaulting
a black guy at two o'clock in the morning in
(20:05):
downtown Chicago. It's not happening. Their shootings going on, but
that's not what's happening. But why did he alter that description?
Why did he create that scenario because it made him
so much more sympathetic. He wanted to stay on the
TV show and he was about to be kicked off,
(20:26):
and so he set this whole thing up to make
himself a sympathetic victim. The Rolling Stone magazine story that
they lost all the money when they were sued over
what happened. Why did they claim it was white frat
boys who raped this girl Because that's toxic masculinity. It
couldn't be a black guy, couldn't be a Hispanic guy,
(20:46):
it couldn't be a Pakistani guy, a Muslim kid had
to be white Southern gentleman. The Duke Lacrosse story. Why
did Nifong push that story? Oh, these white rich kids
from New York coming down to Duke driving BMW's and rape.
That was a hoax. It was a hoax so knifehone
could get reelected. This January sixth lie, this insurrection, deadly violence.
(21:10):
All this In fact, Meet the Press over the weekend.
Last weekend, Meet the Press had an in memorium of
twenty twenty one those who died this year, and they
had six police officers who died, and they said died
in the Capitol insurrection. Well that's not true. They weren't killed.
(21:31):
They died of strokes and heart attacks. Maybe because they
were made to keep secrets. Who planned in those pipe bombs?
Will we ever know? Why doesn't anybody talk about it?
Why isn't the January sixth Committee investigating that? Look, I'm
not a conspiracy guy. I'm not and I've never been
one for those. I think you lose your credibility when
you chase conspiracies. But what happens when the conspiracy is true?
(21:56):
Do you just ignore it because it's inconvenient. Let's go
to Joe in Jacksonville, Florida. Joe, you're on the Clay
and Buck Show. I'm Michael Berry guest hosting. Go ahead,
my man. Well, Michael, thank you for taking my call.
Unfortunately I never got to do this with the Honorable
Russia Limbaugh. But I think you're doing a fine job today.
(22:17):
From the Great State of Texas. Okay. So I actually
went up to DC on January sixth because my son
was a first time voter, and with that first time voter,
I was retired Navy at the time and had not
started with my new company, so I was watching all
these hearings on TV and stuff, and things just did
(22:39):
not add up with the election. So we wanted to
as a first time voter that he was, I wanted
to show him the First Amendment process and really explain
that or make a demonstration that nobody was looking into
the election anomalies. And I've done various handouts, various things
(23:03):
here locally in the Saint John's area, and everybody that
I've ever stood on a street corner with said, you know,
if you can answer all these questions, we accept the election,
no problem. But our issue was nobody was looking into it. Now.
What I saw there that day was a lot of
peaceful people, and the crowd had to be closer to
(23:24):
a million than tens of thousands or one hundred of thousand.
It was. It was just absolutely crazy. But I got
robbed of my moment to really make a peaceful protest
by whatever actors that came in. And when I say actors,
I do not mean that they were acting. I'm not
(23:45):
saying any of that conspiracy stuff. I'm just saying that
whatever personnel were doing whatever actions. Because on the west
side of the Capitol, towards the White House, there was
a bunch of people on the balconies so on and
so forth, and there was you know, like somemoke grades
And as we were washed walking down, I hear flashbags
(24:08):
and I was like, what the heck is going on?
And it was a little bit chaotic. Now, some people
in the crowd were kind of trying to motivate some
people on um, you know, I told my son, we're
not doing any of that, and we're standing back here,
and other people were you know, I saw some people
(24:29):
on the crowd earlier, you know, they had like tactical
gloves on, and they go, oh, were you prior service now?
And I'm like, I thought it was just kind of
odd with the way some people were dressed and looking
at it. In hindsight, it seemed a little bit weird
to me. But when you say, do you mean it
didn't seem authentic or it didn't seem in keeping with
(24:52):
a tea party type protest. What do you mean, I weird?
They seemed out of place. Okay, well connected dots are
you suggesting? Because in Nick Ersey's film, he has footage
of folks who show up who are not part of
the the you know, sort of Trump crowd, and they
show up in their gear and then they change into
(25:13):
Trump attire in the bushes and they're angry that they're
being filmed. He has footage of the guy that is
accused of being an FBI operative who's trying to get
people to storm the gates. He's there for those two days.
There's John ear O'Sullivan who goes by Jaden X, who's
a former BLM member. There are lots of ANTIFA folks
who were there. Is that what you mean by weird?
(25:36):
I would say out of place? And I don't know
who their association was with. But you don't trust that
they were authentic Trump supporters. Affirmative, Yes, I believe that
because the authentic Trump supporters there, they were very smiling.
We took a walk around the you know a lot
of people went around and looked at the World War
(25:57):
Two Memorial, went down to the Lincoln Memorial to electing Pond.
I mean DC is a wonderful place to visit. If
it's not fenced off. Um, you can see a lot
of monuments. And my son had the opportunity to go
see those things in people were polite and kind that
were there just as I was. And you say, he's
(26:19):
the first time voter. Uh, he's twenty now, this was
his first presidential and uh. And what did he think? Uh? Well,
he thought, you know, what the heck is going on?
And I don't know. I think he thought that certain
(26:41):
actions couldn't be ignored. But I said, this is a
little bit some of it was a little bit out
of control. And I said, all those people up there
that are hanging out and uh, up on the on
the west side balcony of the Capitol. I said, those
people are going to get arrested. That's just a bad move. Well,
but I'm not sure who put them up to that.
(27:02):
Let me say this, Joe, I think you're a great
dad for taking your son at a moment like that
to be a part of history. And I am sorry
that some people besmirched that memory. But I think you'll
look back in time and be glad you did it.
Thank you for your service to this country. More of
your calls coming up one eight hundred two eight two
eight eight two. I'm Michael Berry. And for Clay Travis
(27:24):
and Buck Sexton, half their brains tied behind their backs.
Just to make it fair, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton
on the EIB network, we are endeavoring folks to have
Marcus Latruelle on the air. With the passing of an
(27:47):
absolute legend of a Navy seal. He seemed to me
to be a good choice to comment on that. Marcus
is like Jocko will Link and a few other guys,
one of the people who in the Navy seal community.
A lot of those guys all tend to know each other,
and he could put into perspective what the passing of
(28:08):
this man of Vietnam veteran, a founder of Seal Team six,
a founder of Red Cell, the Rogue Warrior demo Dick
they called him Richard Marchinko. Pretty impressive, dude. If we
get Marcus in just a moment, I will immediately put
him on. You look at the news stories, headline after headline.
(28:32):
United Airlines canceled to forced to cancel thousands of flights
over the Christmas weekend because of staffing shortages. Other airlines
forced to cancel flight after flight after flight because of
staffing shortages. You know what the staffing shortages. It's not
(28:53):
people with COVID, it's people who refuse the vaccine mandate.
So the airlines were given this mandate and now they
You know, you don't just go grab a pilot. This
isn't a waiter at a restaurant. This isn't just digging
a ditch. It's a highly sophisticated skill. Go back and
(29:15):
watch Sully land those folks on the Hudson and save
those lives. I can't do it, and you can't either,
And don't tell me I'm that you have your pilot's
license because you can fly a little twin engine I'm
talking about. These are big planes and there are very
few people in the world that can do this, and
we can't afford to lose them, just as we can't
afford to lose our marines who were being we're watching
(29:41):
being kicked out. You know how much it costs in
actual dollars to train somebody to be a marine And
for us to say, well, if you won't get this,
this jab it's not even a vaccine. It's not even
a vaccine. If you won't get this JAB, then then
we're gonna kick you out. Do you know how much
(30:04):
money we spend recruiting television ads, NFL promotions, recruiters. You
ever looked at the numbers of how many recruiters took
their own lives when the when the Afghan War was
in full swing. I think, well, I don't don't get
(30:24):
me lying. I want to say it was one a week,
but I could be wrong, because you go into high
schools and you take these these fair haired boys, these
these young kids, out of their neighborhoods, out of their
high school and you send them off and they end
up dead. That is a tough burden for somebody to bear,
(30:45):
and it's something that recruiters have had a lot of
difficulty with. You're trying to convince somebody that has the
world ahead of them to make the huge sacrifice to
give up everything and go and serve our country in
a wartime situation. And we get a young man that
far along in the process or woman not far along
(31:08):
in the process, and we kick them out over this JAB.
We're doing it to nurses, all the healthcare workers who
refused to get the JAB at least thirteen states now
face hospital worker shortages from people who refuse to get
the vaccine, and now we're kicking them out, and now
(31:30):
they're having to bring in the National Garden in New York.
Over this, we have Marcus Latrelle on the line, lone survivor,
My honor, sir, how are you brother with having him? Man?
How are you Mary? Marcus? Yeah? You got me tell
me who Richard Marchinko was put into perspective, this man
that I've read about. All right, So in our community,
(31:56):
imagine in every community, whether it's football, wrestling, the sporting event,
there's always there's there's a handful of them in there's
a lot of great ones, but then there's a handful
of them in them when you even when the great
wind say their name, they're like, oh yeah, yeah, I
knew that dude. And when we were kids because he
was a Vietnam guy. So when the Seals were enveloped
(32:16):
from the UDT Frogman into transitioning to full fledged Navy Seals,
that that middle integration part. They took the best of
the best from all of those platforms, put them together
and created the kind of outline of what we're what
we formed into today. When you go ahead, I'm sorry,
(32:37):
my go ahead. When you wrote Lone Survivor, that was
a wind. That was the first window for a lot
of folks into what exactly the Navy Seals are and
what you go through. You told me one time that
every every Navy Seal dies for a moment during training.
I don't I really didn't grasp what you go through.
So there was a time for the Navy Seals that
(33:00):
this guy had to come up through the ranks. In fact,
he signed up for the for the Marines but didn't
have his diploma. They kick him out and he goes
into the Navy. This is one of the guys that
is the reason we have in Navy Seals, right, Yes,
correct that that's absolutely correct. So um and you you
said that a great way when um pay titles and
(33:24):
and and kind of what you know about the Navy
and the Navy Seal teams and just look at him
as an individual adventurer. I mean, what the United States
has created in the Navy Seal Teams and what what
has developed itself into is absolutely amazing, especially looking at
it from my perspective of being on the outside of
it now looking back in at the guys and what
(33:44):
they're capable of, and talking about a UM. You want
to see a perfect example of like actually holding onto
a rag bag, you know, rag tag bunch of guys,
like giving them a chance to do something what they're
actually good at and capable at and training at. Uh.
It was that square he ran into it. A lot
of people are familiar with UM, like still Team six,
(34:05):
well that there was a group before that he was
on the He developed that and that's what actually turned
into Seal Team six. And to backing up even further,
you said that a lot of people are aware of
what I went through, and that brought them into the
Seal teams or made them aware. It was the same
thing he did that for me. My father actually brought
in to my attention Rogue Warrior when that sucker came out.
I remember reading that and every time about having you
(34:26):
got to be able to bench five hundred pounds, you
got to carry your own way and do this many
pull ups. I can't even do one pull up. I
remember that, and I was like, there's no way I
could make it into that program. And I started training
for it to see if I could do that, and uh,
which eventually I did. It's unbelievable. Well, no matter how
far down the rung you are, just remember that it
(34:47):
always starts with one one push up or one pull
up and he uh, then he got to do so
many things throughout his career that that opened up all
military wide to our security platforms. I mean, that's basically
what he did. He would go in and test our
own security against ourselves and whip our own ass. And
how great is that job? When you when he would
(35:10):
come around, he would just drop that knowledge. Of course,
he always he never talked to us straight up because
we were new guys. If you're one class in the
field teams, if you've graduated one buds class under another guy,
you're still weak. Budge is easier, shut your mouth. You're
a new guy. That kind of thing I got about
forty five seconds, Marcus. If you had met him, you'd
seen him a week ago, and y'all already gathering, let's say,
(35:32):
Navy seal gathering, how would you how would you address him?
I'll call him certain that were talking about. But then
I would also tell him, thank you for everything you did,
thank you for creating the path. And I was allowed
to to walk through and be a part of us,
and for never giving up on yourself and for the
teams and the good times and then the bad, and
(35:52):
showing America that doesn't matter where you come from or
what you think you're capable of. This family can get
you through anything. And we've designed programs in our own
in our own community to allow that. And he was
a pioneer and we're gonna miss him and we'll celebrate,
I mean, so, you know, until there's no more. Frogman left.
(36:14):
Four Bronze Stars, silver Star, Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry, thirty
four citations and medals. The Rogue Warrior Dick Marchinko, founder
of Seal Team six, was with Red Cell before that
in an era of soft men. I'm grateful for this
one we've lost, and for you, Marcus Latrelle, Thank you brother.
All right, bro, I'm Michael Berry. And for Clay Travis
