Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey, good morning, and welcome to break Through Walls. I'm
Ken Walls and i'm your host, and today I have
a gentleman on the show that is actually running for
US Senate. His name is Lonnie Wills, and I need
you guys to do me a favor. I need you
to share this out. Please drop everything, share this thing out,

(00:29):
and let's get a bunch of people on here to
hear Lonnie's story and to find out why he's running
for US Senate. So stay with us. We'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Hey, can I can here?

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Sor right? We're back. We're back. I forget I told
you not to forget to unmute, and I forgot to unmute.
So hey, I want to welcome you to the show. Lannie.
I appreciate you coming on. I know we tried to
do this one other time on the day I was
swatted actually, so that didn't work out. But you know what,
they're not going to hold us back. So here we go.

(01:43):
So Lonnie, welcome to the show.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Thank you, Ken, appreciate it you have me on the show.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, man, it's it's great to have you here. So
you and I met on X on X spaces. I
heard you speaking, saw that you're running for US senate
and Arizona, and I thought, you know, let's just get
him on the show and find out what's going on,

(02:07):
why he decided to run and all the fun stuff.
So let's start with you kind of telling everybody where
you're from, like where you were born and raised.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, so you know, nothing too interesting there, I guess.
I grew up in Vancouver, Washington, and I went to
school at Fort Francouver High School and went on to
do some college. And my family owns a construction business,
and I grew up learning how to build houses. And
so it was through that that I learned about hard

(02:43):
work and putting the time in. And I remember when
I was about I guess it was eight or nine
years old, and my dad was a journeyman taper before
I started this construction business. And so we had this
job out in the middle of nowhere, Washington, and was
a taping doing a brokade sceneing and and I was
in charge of stomping the mud onto the ceiling with
the with the brush and and you know, at eight

(03:05):
or nine years old, I was I only lasted about
thirty four minutes. But uh, but over the years I
learned a lot about about building homes and and stuff.
So that was that was the big, the humble beginnings
of my life, if you will.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah. So so when you I mean, well, you grew
up in Washington State, that's kind of a little little
different than than your your views today, I would say politically.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well, Washington State didn't always used to be a democratic date,
you know, h it was a much different place, uh
you know when I was growing up than it is today.
It's it's quite it's changed by effect. It's almost embarrassing
to see what has come to today. I don't know
if it's because of Microsoft and the influence they had
and in Seattle or the influence of Oregon. It's it's

(03:57):
just really unbelievable the changes. But you get outside of
a Seattle in the in the in Tacoma Olympia, you know,
you get anywhere else in the state, and it's up red.
You get to smoke, you know, all of the farming
communities and stuff, it's humps red, and.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
So what you know, I I kind of look at
today's political environment like I guess I don't see it
as blue and red really anymore. I see it as
people who realize what's going on, and and people who don't.

(04:36):
I think there's this unbelievable division that they've they've definitely
managed to create and a narrative that I just I
don't know. I don't, I don't. I don't think it's
I don't think it's what everybody thinks it is. I
think there's something way deeper, much more nefario happening in

(05:00):
our in our government, from a local level all the
way to federal level. But anyway, go ahead, Sorry.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
No, no, it's it's uh, it's interesting, I you know,
uh gosh. When I was going to college, I realized
most of my family served in the military, and my
dad was a Vietnam veteran, as I told you before,
and my grandfather served in World War Two on the
US Centerprise. And I had I had a report I
had to do in in eighth grade and for US

(05:30):
History about interviewing someone that was in World War Two,
and I had the opportunity to talk to my grandfather,
who never spoke about the war, and and he sat
down with me for about an hour actually, and and
talked about some of his experiences on the USC Enterprise
and how the Japanese planes were flying into the ship
and the bombs that dropped down and in one in one,

(05:51):
in one case it went through a bomb went through
the deck and hit the armory and everyone in the
army was just burnt in place. Heard some horrific stories.
And h. I remember later we're talking to my grandma
about it, and she goes, you know, he never talked
about the war except that time he talked to you.
And my grandfather and I became very close after that,
and and and so you know, I just I decided

(06:13):
to join the Marine Corps and uh, you know, I
wanted to be the best of the best, and I
felt like that was the challenge. I grew up playing
soccer and uh and basketball, played a little bit of football.
I was a really skinny kid. I was six foot
five by the time I was in high school, six
foot three, uh and six foot four and then and

(06:33):
uh and played played center for for for basketball. But
in my sixteenth year I actually cut my hand my
fingers off in an accident and uh and so that
kind of rand in my basketball critic. They sold them
back on and they worked pretty well now, but we
really had some hardships there. Uh, you know, going through
some of that stuff and just you know, learned a

(06:54):
lot about uh about myself, uh being in the drink, Corty,
because they push you to the to the to the limits,
like you just came, I believe and uh and that
really made a difference for me. And it changed my
life really. And I had a lot of goals. And
so one of the goals I had was to get
involved at some time, at some time in my life,
I wanted to run for president. I didn't really know

(07:15):
what that meant, but I thought, I want to do that.
The other thing I had a goal was I wanted
to be a CEO of a company by the time
I was thirty. And so I did that, and so
I started in the Marine Corps and the Reserve, and
and as you know, Desert Shield Desert Storm happened, and
so I just had gotten married at twenty years old,
and and and then I was going to the to
the attorneys to do you know, set up a will

(07:37):
you know for you know, and all this stuff that
was really crazy. And then our unit got shipped over
to Desert Shield Desert Storm and out for that and
and then it was over, like in three months, it
was done, and and so that was kind of a
crazy time. And I started to work for IBM in
the early nineties, and I was a network engineer. I'd

(07:59):
done a lot of work at an engineering firm, and
I was studying to be a mechanical engineer. But I
got I was really involved in computers from a young age, right,
and so you know, all these things are going on,
and uh, and I just started growing in my career
at IBM, and and uh and and then I decided
one day that in ninety nine, I'm going to start

(08:20):
my first company. And that's kind of where things started.
And I just kind of went down that path. I've I've,
I've I've started and ended about six or seven companies
in my career and uh, and that kind of led
me to this place now where we are. We talked
about this little bit about the politics and I and
I talked to people a lot about the Mega movement
and uh, you know, some people call it a cult

(08:40):
or what have you. But you know, I don't understand
when people don't when you actually say the words make
America great again, why anyone wouldn't want that in our country?
And and I see the divisiveness, and I was thinking
about the other night, and I thought about how we
imagine sitting on a road, a really long road, and
they're building some development out out down the road. Maybe
it's a half a mile away or what have you.

(09:01):
Maybe it's a mile away, and you're looking at it going.
You know, if they don't put a stop sign in there,
people are going to die, right because it's bad. It's
going to become a bad intersection. And you can see
it from a long ways away and you're just And
that's kind of what happened in about two thousand and
eight when Obama became president and I started seeing some
of the things that were changing after nine to eleven,
and I said, man, there's things that just don't make sense.

(09:22):
And then when Hillary Clinton got caught with this whole
email thing and the FBI just wrote swept it under
the rug, I thought, we have big problems if the
FBI can do this and allow someone like that to
get away with those kind of crimes, and someone that
like myself, we hold the top siccret clearance or has
held a topsic your clearance and knows the consequences of

(09:42):
an action like that, and to see that that kind
of thing happened, is like, there's something really deep and
disturbing going on in our country. And I talked about it,
and I used to have account when Twitter first came
on board, and I even noticed then in two thousand
and eight, two thousand and seven that the algorithms were
really bent towards the left and and suppressing the conservative voice.

(10:03):
And you start to wonder, what's going on in our
country and why is the press turning? You know, it
used to be that we watched NBC and Tom Brokaw
or Dan Rather, and remember Dan Rather got fired for
misrepresenting information, And today we have all these media outlets
spending information and not telling the truth. If you watch
an actual press briefing with the president and what he
says and then what the media says is completely different,

(10:25):
and you have to ask, why is that going on?
What is what's happening here?

Speaker 1 (10:28):
And so when when hold on? When did when? What
was the year that you went okay, I gotta I
gotta start moving into some political thing. When when did
you make that decision or when did you start waking up?

Speaker 2 (10:45):
I guess I think it was it was right around
right somewhere right after nine eleven. Is when I started
to you know, I remember the day, right, I was
getting ready to go to work. I was started my
first company. It was called Ebots, and we had built
a platform that was based on a technology called QL
and we were building neural networks. I was working with

(11:05):
Carnegie Mellon and some of the other research programs and
PhD programs on how to actually write neural networks. And
and we could build a neural network with our app
with our software language in about five commands, which is
a big deal, right, because to write a neural network
could take a couple of years to write just a
neural network for a PhD. And so so when nine
to eleven happened, I getting up and I'm getting ready

(11:26):
to go to work, and uh and I couldn't. I
just you just couldn't believe it, right, I'm watching the
TV and like, oh my god, you know, and I
was I'd already been out of the Marine Corps, so
it wasn't anymore. And I seriously was thinking about joining
the Core again because I was still young enough I
could rejoin. But I had two kids now to my
my youngest was just a year old, and so you know,

(11:46):
my wife and I talked about it, and we decided
we just you know, we'd see how things go and
uh and and it was it was that was that
was kind of a moment for me. And then after
that and seen all the Afghan stuff and all the
people that after that in the Wars, I started to
see some things that just really disturbed me. And as
a Republican, you know, in the old Republican Guard, we

(12:11):
were about fiscal responsibility and less government and that kind
of got thrown out the window. And and when Obama,
you know, you have to think about when Obama became president,
he was he was a no one and how did
this guy rise to this place? And he was an
eloquent speaker and so forth and everything else, but he
just something was wrong and and and what I started

(12:31):
to see was this divisiveness that started to happen, and
all these things about race started coming up, and you know,
and before Obama, we didn't have the kind of racial
tension we have today. It's it's really sad. And so
that's when I started to really kind of pay more
attention and more attention. And also, when you run a business,
you know the impact of these decisions I get made
in Congress about taxes and other things have a huge impact.

(12:55):
You know, in my my my third, my second company,
you know, I had a one hundred and twenty employees
in twenty six states, you know, and the taxes that
we have to file for every single state and all
the things, that's just it's just unbelievable. And I took
that company from zero zero revenue to ten million dollars
in three years. And and so I had the I

(13:16):
had the key or the plan and how to grow
companies and build them and and but the challenge always
was how do we manage all these different regulations? How
do I? How do I? How do I compete with
other people? And we have, you know, all these different
resources across the world and and so forth, and so
how do we manage this and how do we go forward?

(13:36):
And and and that's really where I started to see
some of the things and the impact it was having,
uh in our country. And then I think the real
thing for me is when Trump became president and all
the things that we saw Trump. I mean, everyone loved Trump.
I mean before he ran for office, I mean, he
was he was, he was an icon. He still is
an icon. And as soon as he started running for office.

(13:56):
Then the media started hating on him like you like
none other, and you know, and it's just unbelievable to
watch the persecution and see the things that were being
done to him, and it's just it just realized made
me realize that I've got to get involved. I got
to start figuring out a way to get involved. And
in fact, no one knows this really because I didn't
really make it a big deal, but when the twenty

(14:16):
twenty four elections was coming up, I actually signed up
to run for president and I and the whole premise
was is if something happens to Trump, I'm going to
step up to the plate. And that was and that's
really when things started happening, and all the border crossing
was under Biden really upset me. I was I was
in Yuma and I and I saw it happening, and
I went to Lukeville when all those things were happening,
and I spent days there watching and talking to these

(14:38):
different not only not only the border security, but I
was talking to the people coming across the border and
and just sitting down and talking with them and trying
to understand what they were about, why they were there,
and it was scary. I got to tell you, it
was in your heart.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Go wait wait, wait, wait wait wait, We're not gonna
We're not gonna glaze over that. So you went, you
actually went to the border. I did, yes, sir, And
did you like just stop by there for a couple
of hours? Were you there for? How long were you there?

Speaker 2 (15:08):
How I went? I would, I would go. I went
for days. I went there. I would. I went to Lukeville.
I mean, we have a proper we have property, Newman
and I would spend time there. But I went to
Lukeville because I felt like that's where there was like
the real epicenter of what was happening in Arizona.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
And uh, you know, I introduced myself and I said, hey,
I'm not Lonnie Well of the Marine, and I'm actually
considered running for president, and I really want to understand
what's going on down here, right, And so they let
me go and talk to people. And they had, you know,
so they had stationary's Okay, So so when this all
started happening, they don't have the capacity. They didn't have
the capacity to deal with all of these these people

(15:45):
coming in, right, They didn't have outhouses right, they didn't
have any of the stuff. So I went down to
the staging are called I called the Stage Nare one
and Stageanaire two. And Stage are one is where they
they basically put all the single men. Okay, so anyone
that had a family or what we thought was the
family went to the staging Area two where they would

(16:07):
basically process them and get them into the US basically.
And the story there is is that they just allowed
them to come in even if they in the border
agents said, we know that there's no asylum for this
country they're coming from, but we've been told to just
let them come in, and so we're going to get
all this information. They take them to this center like

(16:29):
either in Phoenix or in Numa, and then they get
dispersed throughout the US. And that was what they were doing.
Now they all have these biometric things that they would
get their fingerprint and their their facial recognition, and they
were recording all this for every single person. And then
over on staging area, the other station area where they
had all theyse single men, they would wait and they
were supposed to process them within they said thirty two hours,

(16:49):
and so they would push that as long as they could,
and then they would start to take these single men
and process them. And these men, most of them did
speak English. A lot of them are coming from Africa
the time, from China and other countries, but primarily from
Africa and New Guinea as an example. And and what
I saw was hate. You know, if you've ever been

(17:10):
in if you ever looked at someone and there and
they have that evil look like they just want to
hurt you or they want to they want to That's
what I saw. And I talked to some of the
people there, and I said, what's going on?

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Hold on? These are people coming into the country.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Coming into the country. Yeah, And and the border patrol said,
we don't even know, Like we we checked for background,
but a lot of these countries don't. We don't know
anything about them. We don't have any any data to
know if they're a criminal or not. And we're just
but we're just being told to pocess them and bring
them in. And we're not talking about one or two people.
Can We're talking about thousands of people? And this is
that just didn Lukefille right. And so I'm standing there,

(17:45):
and so I started driving my truck. I got an
F three fifty diesel truck and I'm and I'm driving
up and down the border. Now it turns out it's
illegal for an American citizen to drive on the road
next to the borderwalk. It's illegal. So I couldn't drive
on that road. Yeah, we're not allowed to do that.
It's against the law. Why it's there's a there's a

(18:05):
I have to go look at the post. There's actually
a federal law that doesn't allow anyone. You have to
have off prior out. You have to be an authorized
vehicle to drive on that road. And if you're not
a federal vehicle, you can't drive on the road, or
you have to be given the permission, which is crazy.
You think about that, right, I can't And so here
we have always people illegally coming into our country walking
on this road and we're not allowed as US citizens
to be on that road. It's crazy, right, So I'm.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Driving now, absolutely the I did not. That's that's news
to me. I had no freaking idea. Are you serious?

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Absolutely? One hundred percent. And if you go down to
the border and you just all you have to do
is there's roads that go along with the border that
aren't the road on the next to the wall, and
those those they have signed it says only authorized vehicles,
federal vehicles are allowed on this road. So I'm going
down this road and I'm watching and these and what's happening,
and it's is mind blowing. So here's a guy with

(18:57):
the grinder, who's got a battery power grinder and he's
grinding through the the concrete. So these columns that you
see on the wall or steel and in the bottom
they have concrete in them, and they're using a grinder,
you know, And they're grinding through the wall. This this
bar and they got a chain on the other side
that they wrap around it once they cut through it.
And they have a truck and they pull the bar open, right,
and then they start letting people up. And I through

(19:18):
the wall, and all the border agents are doubt back
in the point of entry processing these thousands of people.
They don't have the resources to actually stop them. And
I said, well, couldn't you just shoot them? Like and
they said, well could you imagine? They said, well, we
were authorized to shoot them, but could you imagine the optics?
I said, right, if we shot someone, because they said

(19:40):
they would put a baby and a woman in front
of them while they're doing all this stuff, right, So
then as soon as they go through the wall, so
they said, if we shot someone like that, the optics
would be horrible, the medi would be all over it.
Of course, there was no media there. There was an
independent reporter there and then there and then also Illusion
was there on one of the days I was there.
Then they spent a lot of time time in Lukeville

(20:00):
on the border, and and and if and and it's
amazing that the stories that they tell, the things Bill
saw a lot from Fox News and and miss Bradley
saw a lot. She was their independent reporter. And if
you look at her ex feet she has so many
videos and the stuff that she saw was just unbelievable.
But that's what was going on. And meanwhile you had
the media and the Democrats saying there's no problem with

(20:22):
the border, there's no no, no one, there's no issue here.
And and I'm going I'm calling bullshit. I'm saying there.
I'm saying there. And I go down there and I
see what was happening, and and and even I posted
about it on X and I just you know, you
get pushed away, you don't get the visibility and people
don't see it, which is really sad, but yeah, it was.
It was.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
So did did you do any videos? Did you record it?

Speaker 2 (20:47):
I did do some videos, but but you know, it
was kind of a weird thing, and I've got some
videos and I can share with you later. But I
didn't do any actual video with the people because I
felt like I needed to. I didn't want to invite
the if that makes sense. I didn't want to invade
their privacy.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
You didn't as they were invading our country. You didn't
want to invade their privacy.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
I know that sounds crazy, right, And so I have
for them in the distance, but I just felt like
I needed to respect their privacy. I didn't know this
situation circumstances, and and there was you know, with Bill
there and the and the other reporters. I felt like
they could do that that I wasn't there. It wasn't
about me. I just want to understand the problem. And
so I talked to the Border rations and said, so,
tell me, so, what what's going on? You said? He said,

(21:32):
we've lost operational control of the border. I mean, what
do you mean where America says no, We've we literally
have lost operations before the border the drug cartels control
of the southern border in the United States. And I said,
are you fucking crazy? He says, no, this is what's happened.
And and if you talk to the border agents, they
know understand, like they understood how to solve this problem

(21:55):
better than anyone. But no one asked them, no one
talks to them. And they they saw all these issues,
and they said, normally these people coming across, we would
we would turn them back because they're not even they're
not even authorized to actually be here for asylum. And
I said, how do they even know it even ask
for assignment. Says, well, they get they have these papers,
and said, what we mean name was papers. I started
talking to some of the people that they had a

(22:16):
little like a post it basically or that said go
to New York at this address, go to Minnesota at
this address. And I said, what are you going to
do in New York? I said, oh, I'm going to
be a taxi driver. I'm going to be a taxi
driver and I'm going to send money back to my
family and wherever. And I thought, really, okay, well all
you guys are going to be taxi drivers in New York. City, Like,

(22:37):
how's that going to work? And but that they all
have these these these notes that said where to go,
and they were told to apply for asylum, and and
so I started doing the research. I started figuring out, like, well,
how is this even possible? Well, it turns out, and
I posted about this ken is that did you know
that in I and I two eight to zero eight

(22:58):
the Immigration Naturalization Act, the the Secretary of Department of
Home Security actually is authorized to grant asylum to anyone,
any group of people they want. There's no congressional requirement,
there's there's no presidential requirement. But the Secretary of my
work is could actually grant assylum to anyone he wants

(23:19):
to under the law.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Right, And I thought, how is that even possible? And
then I started digging a little deeper. Well, it turns
out after nine to eleven, remember what happened, we said,
you know what we need We need a Homeland Security
Department because we need to consolidate all the information and
have this ability to share between these different agencies. Remember
that after nine to eleven, and because we thought we
had this epic failure in our in our in our

(23:45):
in our intelligence community, and so this was going to
be the solution. But what monster ofvice didn't realize at
the time as they were setting up this environment taking
away power from Congress and giving it to a single person.
In fact, I would tell you that the Secretary of
Homeland Security has more power than the present, isn't it.
When it comes to immigration, they have and the Attorney
General both have the power if you can look it up,

(24:07):
and it's just it's mind boggling. And so this is
really where I started to get on fire about about
Wally wanting to get involved because what I see right
now is a lot of I don't know what the
right word is. I probably shouldn't swear on on your podcast,
but but.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
I just don't. Don't try not to drop f bombs.
But my buddy Doug Wan, who's from Salt Lake City,
his father's the founder of Little Giant Ladders, and Doug
after his father passed away, Doug owned the company for
a while and then sold it. But he actually lives

(24:42):
in Arizona. He's he's a really good friend of mine.
He and so Doug, this is Lannie and Lonnie is
actually running for US Senate. Doug definitely doesn't swear but
you know, you're Lonnie's running for US Senate and Arizona.
So I think it's good that you know each other.

(25:04):
So so you know, you're seeing all of the I mean,
that's a lot of insanity that you you are seeing
at this point. You know, you're you were seeing all
of the the the border security stuff is just unbelievable.
I mean, look, the bottom line is Trump has said it.

(25:28):
A lot of people have said it. They opened the
border to import voters. Is the bottom line. Yeah, it's yeah,
it's and it's it is. It's we watched it and
we allowed it. That's the part that you know, It's like,

(25:48):
I feel like we are almost at this point, at
a point almost of no return, where it's like, you know,
we have this massive mass of problem in this country
and and you know, people say, well make sure you vote. Yeah.
Look here Doug saying he was stranded and he was

(26:12):
The story he has about that is unbelievable. They ended
up him and a couple of sales guys that were
with him. I think they ended up renting a car
to drive back to Utah. It's unreal.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Yeah, So let me move back to nine eleven for
a minute. And just to share a little bit of
a story there. So when I worked at IM, I
made a lot of friends at IBM, and I had
a really successful career with IBM, and and some of
my friends that I became really good friends with were
worked in the financial district, and so I immediately tried
to start calling people and see if they're okay. Now,

(26:49):
I guess if there was any good news in this
thing that most of the time the IBM or is
that were working in the financial district didn't come down
to the towers until after nine o'clock, and so most
of them weren't there when this happened. Did lose some
IBM ors in nine to eleven, but not to the
extent we could have. But one of the guys that
I got to become really good friends with, and we
used to go to training side site together and be

(27:10):
training and he's about he's about a foot and a
half short of than me. So they always used to
joke because we wore our suits and they called us
twins from you know, the Artol Star ser movie was
kind of funny. But I couldn't get hold of six five. Yeah,
so little Brother, it was the Little Brother. Yeah, so
it was kind of interesting.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Right.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
So here I'm trying to call my buddy and I
can't get a hold of him and can't go home.
A month later, he finally gets a hold of me.
He says, dude, we've been in Italy, my wife, we
just got married. We were in Italy got married, and
we couldn't get back and we have no And you
have to remember the phone thing that we have now,
you know, just was beginning to really exist in you know,
and and have a platform and cameras and everything. We're

(27:52):
just barely new and so it was impossible. It couldn't
get a hold of it. And it was like and
I was so thankful I find recent. But it took
a month for him to finally get back to America
because remember all the flights were you can fly, no
flying yep, crazy times.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Okay, I want to go back to your discovery at
the border, because look, we all saw these posts on
social media. Of course, there was a lot of suppression
of that stuff back then when it was really starting
to happen. And I believe it was the day after

(28:39):
Biden took office that they opened the border, which is
again mind boggling to me. But you decided to take
action and go down there actually see what was going on.
You saw these thousands and thousands and thousands of people

(29:00):
coming in. You found out that it was illegal to
drive on the road that runs along the border, which
is insane to me, absolutely insane to me. What at
what point did you decide? You know, you said you
you were going to run for president, or you did

(29:22):
run for president or.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
So what I did is I, you know, when you
go to the you can go sign up, and I
filled all the paperwork to be a presidential candidate under
the Republican Party. And I and I and I and
I talked about a little bit about running for president.
I said, I'm just I'm here in the in the
event that something, because I was very concerned about Trump's life,
because I knew that he was in danger, you know.

(29:46):
And uh and that proved to be true when we
saw him, you know, shot at and and that was
a horrible incident and a complete, complete, absolute failure on
the on the part of the Secret Service. I mean,
I can't even begin to tell you how upset that
setting that is to see that happen, and uh and
and I just it's just it's mind blowing to me.

(30:07):
And it clearly there's people are either in common or
part of the or part of the plot. Right. So
but here's the here's the thing. So when you start
to peel back the onion a little bit on the
Biden administration, one of the things that Trump did is
he signed an executive order for these third country agreements.
So basically what happened is is that so like in

(30:29):
El Salvador and in Canada and these other places, if
you went through that country to apply for asylum, you
couldn't you had to stay there, you couldn't come into
into the United States. Very very smart move by President Trump.
On day one, Biden said these agreements are no longer valid. Okay.

(30:52):
So while he talks about oh, I didn't know, we
didn't know what to do or how to solve the problem,
his administration on day once made it possible for all
people to come in. And that's and that was the
beginning of that, right, and that and and so so
that was one of the key components of how we
could con mitigate this problem. And then the other one
is just to say, Okay, I don't care where they're from,

(31:12):
We're just gonna let them all come through and uh
and and processes them. And when you start to see
when I was talking to these guys, and at the time,
I didn't have the we didn't have the perspective we
have now, which is, well, why didn't they wanted to
go to Minnesota? Why do they want them to go
to Michigan? Why do they want to go to Ohio?
Wait a minute, those are swing states. Those are swing states.

(31:34):
Those are the states that if we don't win them
in the in the electoral ballot, we lose we lose
that state, and we lose the presidency. And that's and
that's and that's was part of their plan. And and
you know, you could say at a time and a
conspiracy theorists, but you can look at that now and say, ye, absolutely,
that's what happened. And then you have to ask the
other question, why an't the frack weren't the Republicans doing

(31:56):
anything to stop this? I mean, you had Abbott doing
every he could and everything that he tried to do.
The federal government was suing him for blocking people to
come into our country. Yeah, okay, And Republicans in the
Senate and in and in Congress, they weren't finding lawsuits.
There was Look at there's what one hundred and seventy
lawsuits now against Trump and his administration to stop at

(32:17):
you know, taking people back or sending people back to
their I mean, why weren't the Republicans doing something?

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Then your internet, your internet signals breaking up. You've gotten
real blurry, and I don't know if you I can
still hear you, but you keep freezing just a little bit.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Well let's do this.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
Yeah, Doug. Doug says he's he's right. He had to
hire an immigration attorney to get his wife here from
the Philippines legally. And and you know, I was talking
to Doug at the time. I'm like, they're just into
flyer into Mexico and ever just walk across the border.

(33:07):
That's literally He's like, I'm not doing that, and so
I'm just playing. But it was it was crazy, how
I mean, they were just letting people freaking pour into
this country. And here's Doug spending I mean, I don't
even know it. You know, it's thirty fifty fifty thousand,

(33:28):
I don't even know. But it was a lot of
money just to get the woman that he loves, the
love of his life into this country legally. Meanwhile, we
have twenty thirty million people that just walked across the
border and got in no problem, and they got free housing,
they got free medical care, they got free food, they

(33:50):
got it's just unbelievable to me. Yes, yes, it's unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
And as how is a video better? Now? Can you guys?
Can you?

Speaker 1 (33:59):
Yeah? It's I can yeah, I can hear.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
I took the I took the virtual background off. And
we're in the process of of selling our house here
in in Oregon. We have a I recently remarried and
three years ago, and my wife owns a home here
in Oregon, and so we had it as a rental
and we're here spending time doing some deferred maintenance and
then we're putting on the market to sell it. So yeah,

(34:23):
so we're uh, it's it's so so, it's just a
crazy it was a crazy time. And and I and
and you see it all playing out now and and
and I keep telling people you've got to get involved
if we're gonna so this the mega movement. And I
talk about the political party part of this a lot.
You know, the old Republican Party doesn't exist anymore. And

(34:44):
nor does nor does the the old Democratic Party, which
used to be for the people right in many ways.
My grandfather was a Democrat, you know. And uh, I
grew up in a Republican family. My mom and dad
were Republicans. But my mom, you know, to this day,
she does not like President Trump and she doesn't like

(35:04):
the things that he says. It's offensive to her. And
so and we and so we choose not to have
conversations about politics. And I say, Mom, please stop watching
CNN and NBC. Uh and and and you might have
a different even Fox News. I mean, I mean, I'm
gonna tell you a story about Jessica Tarlov. I'm going

(35:25):
to call her out right now, because I was on
X a few weeks ago and she had actually said
in a post that that that someone should strangle the
president of the United States. And I called her out.
And I wish I would have copied the post, but
I didn't. And I called her out on it, and
she deleted the post. This is this is a major
anchor on Fox News that on the five. Okay, this

(35:46):
is and this is one of the things that I
can't understand. Like, Okay, if you don't like someone's politics.
Killing them is not the answer. We don't talk that way.
Where does that come from? And I hear that a
lot from let's kill the president? Are you freaking kidding
me right now? Like, if you don't agree the politics
and get involved, go go sign up for your local
government or go run for senator and change things.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Careful because you know what they do. They take words
that you little things that you say, and they could
clip that what you just said and and put that
out and go. This guy's running for Senate and he
wants to you know what, the president, and they do that,
they clip it and take it completely out of context
and put out his posts. The the Kraken Steam Brother

(36:30):
or whatever the hell their names are. They do that
all the time. There's so many people to do that.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
Yeah, yeah, that's true. My favorite, my least favorite person
on X right ed and his his misinformation campaign that
he's spews across the internet is just horrible. So yeah,
so here we are, and you know, uh, things that
I'm I'll just tell you from a platform perspective.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
Or look at what look at what my wife says there. Dude,
you may not like what Trump says, but he is
doing but what he is doing is saving this country.
And I agree with that.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
I agree with that one hundred percent. And there are
moments when Trump says something, Oh, did you really have
to say that? You know, could have maybe said a
little differently. But I think he learned a lot when
he got shot at and he I think he became
a different man. I mean, he's still the same person
if you ever met him, and I have never met
him in person. I love to meet him a person,
but he is a generally good person. He cares about

(37:29):
people and he shows it every day. I mean, just
look at the Lincoln Riley situation, not or the young
man that had cancer that he talked about and his
and when he was in front of the House of
the Senate and all those Democrats that didn't stand up
and cheer that little that young man that it's just appalling,
Like is that what you stand for? You're so devisive
and so upset about about Trump that you won't even

(37:51):
celebrate the fact that this young man beat cancer, Like
how sick is that? And those are the types of
things that have just continued to motivate me to go,
We've got to do something different.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
So so okay, let's let's turn this into me being
a CNN. Uh. I'll use the word reporter very loosely.
But but but so so CNN again maybe maybe, but

(38:23):
you know, let me ask you this. Let's let's say
that let's say that all the stars align and and
God gets behind you, and and you get elected as
as a senator in Arizona for the US Senate, and

(38:46):
you show up. I mean, we all already know that.
It's it's in politics. It's literally it's a club. And
and you have to know how to navigate those waters,
I guess. But and I've heard that people that go
in there and buck their system and try to you know,

(39:08):
that they don't last that they get chewed up and
spit out. What are you going to do as a
senator in the US Senate? What are you going to
do to make a difference for our country? Right now?
We have you know, they love to take their long vacations,

(39:32):
they love to not get anything done. And I'm talking
on the Republican side, not just the Democrat side. So
we have this two party system that's literally set up
to it's almost like it's set up to defeat America
at all. It feels like, you know, what are you

(39:54):
going to do? What are you going to do that's
different than what everybody else is doing?

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Great question. Uh, I kind of aliking myself. I'm a
knuckle dragger dude and uh and I'm in the good
sense of that as a marine, and I kind of
like myself to Tom Holman and uh in the Senate
and I'm going to go break down some walls and Senate.
I honestly, I'll push for leadership and take a leadership role.

(40:22):
Part of part of my strategy is to to encourage
more people to run for Senate. You know, as I
get on these different spaces and talking about running for Senate,
you know, Wendy from ex Patterson is one of She
encouraged me to run. She says, you should run run
for office, and you know, and that immediate response is, well,
I don't know. I mean, yeah, that we need to

(40:42):
start having people run. That's part of the strategy, right,
We've got to get people in that care about our country,
that care about America first in office and we and
we get rid of all the old established people. I
mean it's and I'm not a politician, okay, and people say, well,
what's your what's your resume said? Does it matter? Because
for fifty years, the people that are there have failed miserably.

(41:03):
And you look at a coach and how much money
that's been wasted and all the fraud, I mean, epic
failure on every front. There's not a politician in Washington,
d C. Right now that should even be in office.
It's embarrassing. How can they let Actually, I'd take it

(41:24):
a step further. I would repeal Amendment seventeen. Okay. Amendment
seventeen was established in nineteen thirteen, and it changed the
way that we actually ran this We elected senators. It
used to be before nineteen thirteen that US senators were
selected by the House and the House and the Senate

(41:45):
at the state level, and then they represented the state.
The problem today is that as US senator, we have
to raise so much money that were owned by the
super packs and the people that donate the money to us,
right and you see it every day. These senators are
they're supposed to represent their states, their constituents, but they

(42:06):
they're tied their their cow, tied by the by the funding.
And so so that's part of my mission too, is
to do a grassroots get raise the money through the
small donations on you know, through social media and and
and win this campaign. Get out and do what Scott
Press has been doing and knock door to door, do
town halls and get people motivated. All these people in

(42:29):
the Mega movement are super motivated. They want our country
to be what it used to be. They want us
to be prosperous, they want us to be respected, and
they want to be able to know that their children
are going to be raised and be in a safe environment,
and that their daughters and sons aren't going to get
killed because of some crazy lunatic that's just that should
be in jail, or or some illegal alien that shouldn't

(42:49):
be here. That's that's just raping and killing our women
and children. It's horrible. And so that's the mission, that's
the plan, and and that's how and that's what we
got to do. We've got to get engaged, you know.
And what what's happened is we've been so content with
our life and that we haven't been paying attention. And
these very very left wing people get involved because they can't.

(43:09):
They couldn't actually work somewhere and have a real job, right,
They couldn't They don't have real work ethic. They don't,
but they have crazy ideas and they're the ones who
get elected because no one's really paying attention. Now people
are paying attention. They don't want transgender ideology taught to
their four year old or five year old in grade school.
That's ridiculous. And and and they don't want this idea

(43:29):
that if you don't, if you, if you as a parent,
disagree with the school that your kid might be transgender,
then they take away your kids. I mean, this is
this is truly insane.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
That's literally a law in California.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
Right, and it's crazy, It's absolutely crazy. So yeah, turn limits,
turn limits absolutely hundred percent would be a way to go,
you know. And and I've talked about that in some
of my posts, and I just recently posted an article
about about about Amendment seventeen. And I think that's a
that's a path, but it's probably virtually impossible to do

(44:08):
because of what it requires. It requires two thirds in
the House and the Senate, and then it also called
it requires two thirds of the states to ratify it.
But but that's what it would take. It would take
that kind of a movement to change those things. And
there's a lot of history around why they did it,
and you know, funny enough, they did it because of
the corruption at the state level, the irony and that.

(44:28):
So but that's that's kind of my thoughts on the
ternal limits piece and the Moendment.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
So yeah, there's there's a great, uh interesting idea. I
hadn't thought about the seventeenth Amendment. Okay, so back to
how you're going to to change there's Buckster, what's up Buster?

(44:59):
How you're going to make an impact in the US
Senate because you know, we we all, we all want change.
We all want to see this this insanity stop. Well
not all of us, but most of us with a
brain cell left in our head want to see it stop.

(45:21):
I mean, this is crazy. What do you do as
a senator because it can't be just you being your
you know, you've got you've got other people that are
that have been there forever too. You know, you've got
the rhinos, You've got all the crap. How do you

(45:42):
make single person voice in the US Senate?

Speaker 2 (45:51):
So there's there's several people within the Senate today that
I think aligned well with me and my and where
I'm going. And so that's building that alliance initially, But
I also would lean a lot on my on my
business experience. You know, when it comes to business politics,
and I've dealt with it a lot, and I've I've
worked with lots of CEOs of very successful companies. I

(46:15):
eviscerated people that wanted to play politics and business because
I didn't. I don't. I just didn't stand with Stanford
of bullshit. And so you know, from my perspective, you know,
I'm going I would get I'm going to get in there,
and I'm going to work with the people that align
with the way that I think and build that alliance
and really work and focus on on encouraging and working

(46:36):
to move people out of the office that shouldn't be there.
And and I know that's going to take time, and
I know that we have to be successful in the midterms.
That's a big deal. And we've got to get out
and help Scott Pressler and the Republican Party and really
focus on American first candidates. And so I think that's
part of the part of the solution, is really vetting

(46:57):
people and ensuring that there really are America for UH
and and and that's an important part of this The
strategy to move forward. And you know, and I just
believe that God wants me in this place and uh
and and He's spoken, and so I have a you know,
I have a long history of of in my faith.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
And I've I've walked away from God at the time
of my life when I shouldn't have, and I've come
back to the Lord and uh and it's another story
for the other day. But uh, but I have, I have.
I would tell you that in the last several years
that I probably am living the life of job in
some ways. And uh, but I have. I am humble
and in all that I have today and and so

(47:42):
thankful for my wife and my family and the opportunity
to serve again. And I'm too old to be a marine.
If I could go back in the Marine Corps's do
it in a heartbeat and I and I would certainly
probably get my butt kicked today being fifty five, can
still shoot the hell out of anything. I mean, I
was an expert and I could still shoot. So you
know this, just drop me off a mile away from

(48:03):
somewhere and let me be the.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
Line right right. So, so pretend for a moment that
you know, there's what eight billion people or something like
that on the planet. Pretend for a moment that all
eight billion people are watching right now and listening to you,

(48:29):
even though there's only seven hundred and forty nine watching.
But pretend to pretend, pretend that all eight billion are
are are going to see this and hear your message.
What would you say to all of the people on
planet Earth that would wake them up, that would help

(48:52):
them see to stop this freaking division? Man, The division
is what gets me. And it's not even it's not
even just you know, left versus right anymore. It's it's
it's good versus evil. It's it's the worship of of
of power and money and and and all, and not

(49:14):
even not I'm talking about the money, the love of
the money that gets you to the power. I see that,
I see people worshiping that, and and that's not I
don't feel like that's what God intends for any of
us here. What do you say to all eight billion
people to wake them up, to bring them to a

(49:37):
different reality.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
Yeah, it's a couple of things. First of all, start
having dinner back at the dinner table every night with
your family. And then second, start going back to church,
pick up the Bible and start reading the Bible. You know,
I I literally I read the Bible every day and
and I'm I'm not successful at at being like Christ,

(50:04):
but I try redated to look to think about what
would Jesus do in this moment? How would he act
and how would he do something in this And that's
that's what we're missing. I think we're missing that that
part of our life that we used to have, which
was the spiritual time that we spent with our family.
It's not just going to church, it's living what God
asked us to do to help other people and uh,

(50:26):
and to and to really go out and and and
be part of the community in a in a positive
Christian way. And I think that's the message I would send.
There's hope through Christ that he's our savor and that
we have an opportunity to to to know Him and
to go to Heaven and uh that that that's where
our focus should be. And when we do those things

(50:47):
through Christ, it opens up the doors and our society
starts to overcome the evil that's here. And that's what
I see. And to your point earlier, Ken, when we
talked about this idea of of it's not really about
two parts. See anymore. It's about evil versus good or
good versus evil, and and and we can see that.
I saw it at the border when I was there.

(51:08):
I saw the evil in the people's eyes, and I
saw the and I see it in the hatred and
the things that we see with Antifa and these different
things are happening. This Palestinian versus the Jewish people. It's
it's it's sickening. And and the only way we can
get past this is to is to get back to
our roots, to our Christian roots as a country. It's no,

(51:28):
it's there's a reason why. It says in God we trust,
and that's what our country was founded on. And that's
where we got to get back to. It's a great question.
So I'll tell you a little story because it's probably

(51:51):
relevant to that question. So I was focused on on
being successful as an entrepreneur, and you know, having six companies,
and my latest company, call Assistant dot ai is an
amazing you know AI platform for telephony. And but in
all these companies, I was focused on the big house.

(52:13):
I had a beautiful house in San Diego. You know,
I was making you know, our company made millions of dollars,
and you know, I was getting ready to buy a Lamborghini.
And all the things that I thought were you know,
all these worldly things, did I get? Is it still
running again? I see a pause on the video, and
so so I see these things, all these things I

(52:35):
was going after. And and that's where I talked about
walking away from my life with Christ. And I became
focused on the secular world. And through a series of
events in my last last eight year nine years of
my life, I divorced my first wife after twenty three
and a half years, and then I got I remarried,
and I was married for about four years, and I
lived a life of sin, and I was in a

(52:57):
place of not not not a good place. And I
turned my life around. Uh And and through that process,
I lost everything. All the things that I had, all
these things that I thought were important, I realized weren't
important anymore. And I refocused my life on Christ, on
helping veterans and serving and helping others and that and
that's and that changed me and so my focus. And

(53:20):
in fact, I was talking to to a gentleman that
that you're going to hear more about in Arizona. He's
running for governor and Alan White and we had a
very good conversation yesterday, and uh we talked about the
money that we get when we raise money for campaign
and he what he suggested, what he's doing is he

(53:41):
gives ten percent to the church and then he also
then any money left over he gets to help veterans
or nonprofits that are helping and service. And that's what
I'm going to do. I'm not going to sit here
for six years or eight years and have all this
money in this in this war chest. I'm going to
give it back to the people. And that's that's my mission.
And so, you know the fact that these these senators

(54:03):
and stuff and make one hundred seventy four thousand dollars
have a net worth of of you know, ten million
or one hundred million or whatever the number is is insane.
And I hope that that my my record will show
because I think now my net worth is probably negative,
you know, five hundred thousand or something in the debt
of and so. And I hope that when I'm when
I'm senator and I'm done, that my net worth will

(54:24):
be somewhere around zero or what have you. Because it's
not about the things that we have. It's about how
can we help people, how can we help the the veterans.
You know, it's I could go on on about veterans
in the in the in absolute horror stories with just
with my father and the things that we've had to
deal with with the VA and and just and just
wanting to make that better. The homeless shelter that I

(54:46):
work with with in king in Arizona, and that in
the things that we try to do to help veterans
that need That's where my focus is and that's how
I'm going to continue to stay focused and avoid the corruption.
And I'm going to be tempted, I know I will,
and I'm just gonna lean on God more. And that's
my answer.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
Wow wow wow wow, Thank you Buckster. I appreciate that.
But I live in Texas, so.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
But you know, I think you should run for office.
I'm gonna call you right now. You have a voice,
and you have a passion for this country and I
see it on ext all the time. Everyone's complaining about it.
We'll stop complaining, get in get in gear, and get
an action and make make a difference in this country.
That's my message. Step up to the plate, hit a
home run brother.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
Yeah, I'm doing a lot of things that people are
not aware of.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
So the truth will come out soon.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
It's there's a lot going on. But so so Lonnie,
you know, listen, man, I I I appreciate you coming
on and and spending time sharing your message. And and
you know, I've I've I've been where you know, you
don't know where the next freaking penny is going to

(56:07):
come from. There's you know, I've been there. I've been
in the in the the the lowest of lows. I've
been homeless, I've been through all kinds of stuff. And
you know, we have a country that needs saving for sure.
And I really, I really hope that because you're you know,

(56:30):
I've gotten to know you pretty well, and I think
you're a really good dude, and I think that your
heart is definitely in the right place, and and you know, people,
people need to support you and get behind what you're
trying to do. And and this is for when is
the election? Is it in twenty twenty six?

Speaker 2 (56:52):
No? I wish it was, but it's twenty twenty eight.
So so okay, So I'm yeah, so I'm laser focused.
I've got it. So the first the first hurdle for
us and our campaign is getting seven thousand signatures needed too,
and we need that by March of next year, and
the application for US senator is in April, and so
I'm putting together a ground team now to make that happen.

(57:14):
My wife is very, very she's a huge, huge advocate
for working in the Republican Party. She's a gun carrying constitutionalists,
uh and a woman of faith and I love her
daily and and so she's she's on it. She's like,
we're going to make this happen and get the signats
you need and so we can get moving down that path.

(57:35):
And so you know, I'm hopeful that kay Daily will
be able to get get with me and we can
work on a strategy and build that build a team
we need and I've got I've got another call this
afternoon with an SEC attorney to kind of work through
the paperwork side of all this, because that's a critical component.
So people have been reaching out and starting to help,
and I really appreciate everyone that's been about behind me,

(57:56):
and it means a lot. It means one hundred percent
to me.

Speaker 1 (57:58):

Corps League. They should help you.
