Terrell "G" Gonzalez returns to the Daily American and pulls back the curtains on headline stories that rarely receive proper context in mainstream media. The conversation begins with a striking revelation about the "Gulf of America" designation – not a gesture of patriotism but a calculated business move to restore American drilling rights after Biden administration restrictions left foreign countries operating in waters where US companies couldn't.

From policy to the personal, the veteran shares disturbing firsthand observations from El Paso, Texas, where he's witnessed escalating violence, nightly shootings, and increased military presence. His ground-level perspective challenges simplified narratives about border security, distinguishing between legal immigration channels that remain open and enforcement challenges that create dangerous conditions for border communities.

The discussion deepens when examining the Israel-Hamas conflict through the eyes of someone who's experienced similar warfare tactics. The veteran explains how fighters blend with civilian populations, creating impossible situations for opposing forces, and unpacks the complicated reality of ceasefire negotiations. Drawing parallels to his own combat experiences, he recounts being misrepresented by media after responding to a child who threw grenades at his unit – illuminating how battlefield realities often get distorted in reporting.

Listen as historical context frames these modern conflicts, tracing religious and cultural tensions back to ancient divisions that continue shaping today's geopolitical landscape. This episode offers rare insight into how someone who's witnessed war firsthand interprets current events, connecting domestic policies to international affairs through personal experience rather than political talking points. What emerges is a complex picture of global challenges that defies the oversimplified narratives dominating public discourse.

whatever you do.
So look, when Biden left, likethis is going back to the Gulf
of America thing, you guys keepon thinking it's about ego or
we're trying to pound our chestto the world, and it has nothing
to do with that.
When Biden left, he set up nodrilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

(00:53):
He completely banned all of ouroffshore drilling in the Gulf
of Mexico.
Okay, and to get around, thatit's no longer the Gulf of
Mexico, it had nothing to doaround.
That it's no longer the Gulf ofMexico.
Like it had nothing to do withthat.
Like for no fucking logicalreason he stopped us from
sending oil rigs.
Venezuela can, they can come inthe Gulf of Mexico and drill
Mexico still can, but the US?

(01:15):
Because of what Biden did?
We weren't allowed to drill inour own Gulf, holy smokes.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Because it was the Gulf of Mexico.
It was a business decision.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
It was a business decision.
It was a business decision, hewas changing it to the Gulf of
Mexico, so that that uh uh, thatdecree that Biden did on his
way out.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Okay, no one void.
It was a business to allow usto still be able to to work in
the Gulf.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Hey, just so everybody knows, this is a, this
is a gentleman from Boarding toFight this dude, somebody I
look up to.
This guy's the man.
Anything he says I take forreal, especially because he's
well versed in knowledge.
Not that I don't takeeverything, I take everything
that people tell me, withusually a grain of salt, but
with this guy, this guy's thereal deal, he knows his shit.

(02:03):
Gee, where are you, you know,with usually a grain of salt,
but but with this guy, thisguy's the real deal, he knows
his shit.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
So, uh, gee where are you at right now?
Texas or Florida?

Speaker 2 (02:12):
I'm in El Paso now, man.
I came back and that's whereyou're living.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, my, my ex got pregnant, so I ended up getting
custody of my kids and my houseback.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
So I had to move back to El Pasocha, gotcha.
But you're, uh, are you stillwith the, the?
The you're with your, your wife, or your or what?
Your wife, yeah, right, yeah,yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, gotcha.
So you're back in el paso.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
We just came back here because I was tired of
paying rent and a mortgage for ahouse that I couldn't live in
so once I got my house house, Iwas like all right, well, let's
go deal with El Paso for alittle bit until we can sell it
and get out of there.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yo, do you see, being there in El Paso, I mean,
obviously I was only there for ashort time, but do you see the
immigration crisis?
Because obviously there weretons.
Now, g, you know, there's tonsof people coming across, or
there were tons of people comingacross the border, some of them
, some of them, and there arelegal ways to do it.
Some of them are looking for abetter life.

(03:10):
Most, not most of them, I don'tknow the numbers, obviously but
some are looking for a betterlife.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
No fancy.
What do you think?
The door is open.
Like they didn't lock everybodyout.
Like I can go downtown El Paso.
I don't know how often you wentdowntown when you were here.
There's a port of entry rightdowntown El Paso.
If you wanted to come here andyou weren't doing shady shit,
just walk across, show your IDand you know, come, hang out.
Half the people that have shopsdowntown live in Mexico.

(03:38):
They just come over here forbusiness and go back over there
and live.
Like.
So it's not that hard.
Like they're making it seemlike we have iron clad doors and
nobody's coming in, no matterwhat, or else it's not like that
.
We still have a flow of peoplecoming.
I can take you down to theborder right now and show you 10
000 cars coming through justthis port of entry.
We haven't locked it down.

(03:58):
Like.
People still come in, likewe're open, we're america, you
know?
Yeah, so everybody's sayingthat people want to immigrate.
Like.
Immigrate, do it the right waythough.
Like when you sneak over here,then you know damn well like.
And so when we were here, wewere soldiers, right, so we
didn't get a lot of time to playwith el paso itself, but you
can still kind of get a feel forthe, the, the demeanor of the

(04:19):
people and the, the, the crimelevel, uh, the, the government
as a whole, just in our dailylives.
But now I left town for a whileand I honestly feel like that's
the best way to get a feel forsomething is to actually pull up
and leave.
So I had my opinion of El Paso,which is pretty much based off
my ex, which wasn't great, butthe rest of El Paso meant very

(04:42):
little to me.
When I went away I went toColorado, then I went to Florida
for a bit and then I ended upcoming back and the crime level
in El Paso is through the roof.
Like my neighborhood is garbage.
There's shootings every night.
Like the police havehelicopters now.
Like they have privatecompanies flying helicopters.
The military is flyinghelicopters up and down the

(05:04):
border.
Like this has gotten a lot, alot worse.
Like almost everywhere.
You see, yo, you know what.
There's one time I was drivingmy kid to school and I think I
just dropped him off, I wasgetting ready to turn around or
something like that and thislittle freaking wannabe gang you
know who I am, I'm not a littledude, I'm nobody's but this
little bitty midget shit.

(05:27):
This little motherfucker.
I was driving the Challengerright.
I don't know if you've everbeen in one.
You've got a lot of blind spotsin the rear.
I don't know what his deal was,but this little jackass decided
to come around the backside ofthe car.
I didn't even see him until hewas at my window.
He came and punched me in mycar.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
So of course I got mad.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, he motherfucker punched me like sucker punched
me.
I didn't know who the fuck heis.
I'd never seen him before in mylife, so I grabbed him, of
course, by the throat and putthe car in park.
He's trying to hit me.
He's trying to pull away andhit me at the same time.
I'm holding onto him with onehand.
I'm park, I casually get outand I start to beat the shit out
of him, but I get in trouble.
Like this guy like Well, no, hegot loose for a sec.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
But he was a Alright go ahead.
Finish the story.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
He went and grabbed some tools because they were
going to hit me with somebig-ass stick and I was like,
bitch, you're going to hit meonce with that stick, it's going
to sting a little bit and I'mgoing to shove it up your ass.
Some little school cop came byand broke up the fight I was
charged for.
I don't even know what it wassomething super stupid.
This dude's covered in tattoosfrom head to toe.
I don't know what the fuck hewas doing.

(06:37):
I really don't know what hisdeal was.
I don't know if it was just acrackhead moment or what.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Was he a student?
No man.
He looked like he was probablyearly 20s give or take, I mean
either way, even if he was astudent, somebody's got to beat
that kid's fucking ass.
Somebody's got to beat his ass.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
I did, but only for a second because the fucking cops
broke it up.
They're like, oh, you were outof control.
I was like, dude, the, the copsfucking four foot two if I was
out of control.
You're not breaking up shitlike somebody attacks me.
I'm not gonna sit there andwait for the cops to show up and
defend me.
I'm not somebody.
This is a fucking texas.
Bro that you hit me, expect toget hit back.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah exactly there's kids like the only ones that
don't hit back are people fromcalifornia right like the
imports.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, not the real california, because I'm talking
about the ones that don't hitback are people from.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
California, right.
Not the real Californians, I'mtalking about the ones that
fucked up their laws too.
Yeah, that's crazy man.
Yeah, I mean.
So there are.
I mean I saw something SomeVenezuelans, tons of gangbangers
, were coming across the border.
I don't know if they are, Iknow the one girl got.
They always highlight.
See the media.
You know the media.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
The media is just they're hiding half of what
they're exactly like even nowthey're supposed to be more
conservative, they're stillhiding half of it.
Like there's so much shit thatstill happens and they just
sweep it under the rememberapostle braganoff being the
safest city in the us bullshitlike that's.
This is by far, far from thesafest city in the us.
Like it's full of so much crime.

(08:04):
You just got incompetent copsor who are in and on it with
with the uh, the littlegangbanger types or the cartels,
so they don't report half theshit.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
So now the borders are at least, are at least
secured, right, they're notpouring in in the does.
I was watching.
I was watching the documentarythe other day g that, uh, in the
sanctuary cities in chicagothere was just this dude rolling
around with this retired copand like literally tons and tons
of illegal immigrants juststaying in police precincts,
inside the stations, just likemeanwhile, they're sick and shit

(08:38):
and the police are, are arefeared up because you know they
get sick.
Bring it home to their families.
Not only that, but then thegirls.
Obviously they want money.
Right, they need to get money.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
They're here with nothing.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
They gave their life savings to get here.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
That's a big sex trafficking thing.
Because the girls get here theyhave no legit skills, because
wherever the fuck they come from, it's not like they got college
to go to or they developed anykind of skills growing up
outside of being a housewife.
And when they get here and notevery American wants a fucking
immigrant housewife, an illegalimmigrant housewife- Right,
right, I mean.
I wouldn't.
They had these guys staying onbase.

(09:13):
No, you don't want one.
I promise you.
I guarantee you Fuck, no, no.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
No, I shouldn't fuck around like that, all right, so
G?
What's going on with this?
So there was a ceasefire and Idon't pay honest to God, this
past year I haven't paidattention to the news at all.
So it's funny that I'm gettinginto this a little bit, thanks
to people like yourself.
But the Gaza over in Gaza.
So the ceasefire I heard thatended like yesterday.
Israel started bombing the pissout of them again.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Well, so the ceasefire was predicated on them
releasing the hostages.
When they went and initiallyattacked Israel, they were
raping and killing most of thepeople they came in contact with
, but every group of jackassesthat went over there to attack
them was allowed to bring afucking fighter.
I mean, I'm sure they didn'thave any kind of rules on it,

(10:08):
they just they captured who theycould and killed and raped who
they couldn't, but they took awhole bunch of hostages.
I don't even know what theofficial actual count is, but
part of the ceasefire was likethe whole point of this invasion
is Israel is like you will notfucking take our people, like we
want them back.

(10:28):
Every last one of them, dead oralive.
We want them back, which isfair.
This was such, yeah, but thisdeal that they made for the
ceasefire was soun-fucking-believably lopsided.
They were taking the, they weretrading the prisoners, but like
next to none, like five a weekmaybe, or five a month months.
yeah, because there werereleased, yeah, but they wanted
hundreds of hamas fightersbrought back and given back to

(10:53):
them like people that were in,uh, israeli jail, that were
captured on the battlefield orelsewhere.
They were getting them back.
Israel was releasing their guyslike crazy and then hamas just
decided that they didn't feellike releasing any more people
and they gave warning afterwarning, like we're tired of
asking your fucking permission.
This was the deal.
You release all of our peopleLike and it's not just us, it's

(11:17):
every country that had somebodyvisiting Israel that was
captured that day has peoplethat they want back.
So when these guys justarbitrarily chose to stop
halfway through their, it's thesame shit they all do.
This is from, like, iran toeven iraq back.
When they were a powerhouse,they all used to like pick and

(11:39):
choose what part of the dealsthey feel like honoring.
And usually when you have likecertain democratic or just real
soft rhino type republicans, uh,in charge, they will, they,
they'd been, they'd let them saylike, well, we'll make a new
deal and we'll give you billionsof dollars if you stop, if you
promise to stop, but we won'tcheck.
And then when, and all you gotto do is you, you know, cook me

(12:05):
five french fries, well, they'llcook four and just to be a
dickhead, they'll say no on thelast one.
Like I mean, we've always hadlopsided deals with these
motherfuckers.
Like I don't know why we don'tjust fucking bomb it and make it
a big glass.
Middle Eastern Disneyland.
Yeah, so you have no remorse forlike, or you don't feel bad for
like the innocents over overthere you know damn well, that's

(12:28):
a bullshit.
No, you so you, you so you knowno, listen to me, fiance, when,
when you were over there, yeah,and you're in the middle of a
firefight, you're shooting backand forth, you got one or two
jackasses that are just.
They got their courage up forthe day for whatever reason, and
you know they molested,whatever it goes they were going
to do, and they came outthinking that they were a real
man.
They start taking shots at usand we fire back and then, on

(12:50):
that battlefield, everybodystarts walking in the middle,
like the whole streets are clear, nobody's doing shit, and then,
out of nowhere, people startwalking in the middle of a
fucking firefight.
Are those innocent or are theytrying to freaking?

Speaker 2 (13:00):
they're trying to get on the news.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
they're forcing it.
The whole reason they don'twear uniforms.
Like under under Majadi, theyall wore black, so we can kind
of identify them.
They wore black in their stupidlittle bandanas and they looked
super gay, but then when we hadSuper gay, I don't know.
Well, they were easy toidentify, so it was easy to pick
them off, you know.

(13:23):
Yeah, I see, but now theypersonally hide in civilian
uniforms, whether they'refighting or not, and then one
person will drop a weapon orlike, say you just shot somebody
, they, they fall down and dieand uh, and then one of those
innocent bystanders will turnaround, pick up a weapon and
start firing back.
At the very beginning of this,they said that they did.
Uh, um, they had internalsurveys from their own people

(13:46):
and from outside saying thatlike 96% of them hated Israel
and the West and everything thatwe stand for and they would
kill us all if they had a chance, like they were all.
Yeah they're all radicalized.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah, they're all radicalized.
I mean not I wouldn't say everylast one of them are, but most
of them are no.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
There's no way you can ever say every last one of
them, and I'm sure thatsomebody's getting caught in the
crossfire, but you're in afucking war zone.
It is collateral damage and theykeep forgetting that Hamas
wasn't allowed because Israelwas allowing.
They would push forward for alittle bit, because Israel
doesn't.
West Bank is not a big placeLike it's taking over a city
essentially.
West Bank is not a big place.

(14:26):
It's taking over a cityessentially, which wouldn't take
somebody like Israel very longif they actually wanted to just
get rid of everybody and take itover.
But they would take over asmall section of it and then
pause for a sec and then gathera group.
But while they're doing that,they're allowing anybody that
doesn't want to fight to get thefuck out of the way.
Were you with us for Fallujah?

Speaker 2 (14:45):
No, fuck no.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
The beginning of a lot of these larger campaigns.
We'll drop flyers, we'll get ona PA system and we'll start
yelling in their freaking,filthy-ass language get the fuck
out, or else this is turninginto a combat zone.
We're coming in, we're comingin hot.
We advertise for a very longtime before we go in, and israel
takes a lot of our same tactics.
But when it's not the usinvolved actually, even when it

(15:15):
is the us involved they like topretend that they're the fucking
victim.
Everybody's got this fuckingvictim mentality.
It's been mastered by thesefreaking, these jackasses.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
They will pretend that they're innocent but when
their battle buddy that's firingat you is getting shot at,
they'll stand there like thesejackasses.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
They will pretend that they're innocent.
But when their battle buddythat's firing at you is getting
shot at, they'll stand therelike oh no, I'm innocent right
next to his ass.
When he drops and dies becauseyou just lit his ass up, because
you know how to shoot, eventhough he doesn't, that buddy
that was just innocent twoseconds ago will pick the rifle
up and start firing at you, andthen the news will take that
story as well.

(15:47):
This guy was radicalized on thebattlefield.
Motherfucker wasn't radicalized.
This was a plan all along.
Like this is shit.
That's been done for a hundredyears.
Yeah, like this is a plan, Likethey're not stupid, they're
trying to use the Stop it Shutup.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Sorry, my dog's acting dumb.
No, you're good.
So back in the, I think it wasfrom the beginning of time.
So basically, I don't know howmuch you know about this, but I
know you've been on a morespiritual journey in regards to
Christianity lately.
But let me say something aboutthe.
When it comes to the OldTestament, so that's the
equivalent to the Jewish Bible,to the Torah, the our Old

(16:24):
Testament, the Holy Bible.
You got the Torah, so you gotAbraham, abraham's, the
forefather, apparently of allthree religions Christianity,
islam and the Jews and he had,you know, basically he ended up
having, in the Quran, the twosons Abraham had Isaac and

(16:45):
Ishmael, and in the KoranIshmael was favored by God and
given that land in the GazaStrip.
In the Old Testament our Bibleand the Jewish Bible, isaac had
two sons and essentially I don'tknow bottom line is one of them

(17:08):
split off to the Middle Eastand one of them split off to the
Jewish nations.
In the Torah, the son whoAbraham had was favored, and in
our Holy Bible, in the OldTestament and then in the Quran,
the, you know, ishmael was theone favored.
Ishmael was his mother, was abasic, like, she was a slave,

(17:32):
and Abraham and Abraham's wifeSarah had.
I believe it was Jacob, yeah,jacob, a son Jacob.
So there was Jacob and Ishmael.
Jacob was renamed Israel by God, which was given that land.
In our Bible and then in theKoran, ishmael was the one
favored, and in our Bible allthey say about Ishmael is you

(17:53):
know, he split off to the desertand was always fighting with
people, like he was angry, andI'm sure it says something
similar in the Koran.
But the bottom line is they havebeen at each other's throats
from the beginning of times theMiddle Easterns and the Jews and
it's never going to stop untilJudgment Day.
So it's something that we gotto continuously expect that war.

(18:17):
There may be a peace treaty.
If there's a seven-year peacedeal, then you know the Book of
Revelations, all theseprophecies have been fulfilled
from the Old Testament to modernday, including Israel getting
back their land.
Right after World War II wegave them that land and we
literally took the Palestiniansand we said you guys are going

(18:39):
that way, take your shit and gothat way, and that's why I mean
these policies.
That's why there's always it'sall written, it's written, it's
going to happen.
You know, my father used to sayshall it be written?
So it be done.
It's written in the books.
The books are there.
I'm not a reader.
I mean, this is just knowledge.
I'm pulling.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Oh, damn, you know, damn.
Yeah, I think you're lookingtoo closely into this.
What do you mean?
Well, I get what you're tryingto say.
You're trying to go back intime and say well, back in the
day, god said this, prove it.
Neither one of us can provewhat God said to who, and who
changed who's name to fuckinglike I get all of that.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
All I'm saying is it's not going to end, even if
Trump tries to end it.
It's never going to end untiljudgment day, sorry.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
So well, that's because everybody keeps playing
with him, so you mean everybodykeeps fucking with Israel poking
the bear.
Well.
So yeah, there's that part too.
But, like everybody keepsallowing Hamas to do this shit,
hamas is still a proxy of Iran.

(19:49):
If you shut down Iran, thisHamas shit's done because these
guys are still backed.
A bunch of fucking cavemen.
Without Iran funding Hamas,they've got sticks and stones.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, what's the group?

Speaker 1 (20:01):
that comes out of Palestine.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
What's the group that comes out of Palestine?
It well.
What's the group that comes outof palestine?
It's not hamas, it's uh.
What the fuck is it?
I thought hamas was taken careof.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
No, I guess not no, hamas is in the west bank, okay,
okay.
These are.
These are like, uh, likeoffshoots they're.
They're not an army directly.
These are uh, it's like thecartels don't want to get into a
fight with us so they'll hirethe Crips or Bloods to go and
peddle their shit on our streets.
Does that make sense?

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Or like they don't know our area so well.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
So they'll hire some MS-13 gang to come and do the
actual legwork, even though it'sactually being funded and
masterminded by the cartelsthemselves or something like
that.
There's a bigger opponent, anduntil we beat that bigger
opponent with a stick, they'regoing to keep funding the little
guys.
That's their way of jabbing atus.

(20:56):
Without it's the same type ofshit.
They hide in crowds and pretendthat they're innocent.
Same thing that Iran is doing.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
They are hitting us with somebody else's hand, yeah
because the money is gettingfunneled to them back the
backdoor method.
Yeah, they're funding them.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
They're pretending that they're innocent, just like
all the innocent people thatare being killed.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
And don't get me wrong, I do believe that some
innocent people have died, yeah,but I've also been to war, I
know how that shit actuallyworks.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah, don't forget, I had that bullshit story with
Stars and Stripes where theytried to call me a fucking
insurgent.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Why?

Speaker 1 (21:36):
What'd you do?

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Kill a bunch of terrorists.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
No, this little kid came and threw a couple grenades
at us.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
I could have swore you were with us on that one.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
No, no, no, I don't, I get my generations of that
fight mixed up.
But this kid came and threw agrenade at us, or two grenades
at us.
Then she landed right at myfeet.
So I was a little pissed offcuz I thought for sure I was
gonna die.
But they cooked off cuz the Iguess primer wasn't hot enough.
It was that HME grenades waslike a homemade explosive stuff,
but it just it got hot butdidn't get hot enough, it didn't

(22:06):
pop, you know.
So they just cooked off.
We took him grenades apart butI was so pissed a little fucking
bastard try to kill me.
I don't care if he's 10 or 12years old, he just tried to kill
me like you're a fuckingsoldier at that point he still
didn't do anything.
I went over there and I snatchedto that because the first
aren't the time.
I can't remember who that was.
First, sergeant Gonzalezactually.
He went and, I guess, caughtthe kid.

(22:27):
He was in the back of theformation and the kid tried to
squirt out, but we had Stars andStripes with us, so the
commander was there too.
And the commander everybodytook a knee, like everybody,
just fucking ghosted.
Like nobody yelled grenade,nobody said shit.
I just heard tink, tink, tinkand I'm looking around and
everybody was down.
I was at the front of theformation because I liked it.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
I liked it up there.
Yeah, of course you did,because you're not a warmonger,
you were born to fight, dudethis is what you were meant to
do.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
I'm surprised you didn't kill him.
Well, I didn't, I didn't evenhit him.
I I'm surprised you didn't killhim.
Well, I didn't, I didn't evenhit him.
I did nothing.
I grabbed his ass because I wasfucking pissed.
And when I dragged him over tothe, we had this like little
cement and we didn't have it.
They had it.
And this is in Missoula, wherewe had the Christian sector, and
we were just walking throughseeing if they need anything.
There was a big hole where acar bomb had gone off and we're

(23:26):
like well, we can send someengineers and some people to
help you guys fill this hole in.
You guys have your street backand like we just need to know if
your water is running fine, ifyou have electricity, do you
guys have enough food?
And this is like right on thedivide of the christian sector
and the, the muslim sector,where that little bastard came
out and did this.
And then this, this superliberal reporter tried and his
headline was insurgent orbystander trying to make it look
like I was a bad guy forcatching this kid.
But we're testing his hand andit's coming like.
I don't know if you rememberthe, the, the strips that they

(23:48):
used to give us to pull off tosee if they have explosives uh
on their hands no like well,when, when they do, yeah, yeah I
do remember, yeah, yeah yeah,you can test for a whole bunch
of different things.
We didn't carry it all the time,but it was always at least in
one of the vehicles.
Anyway, I tested this kit.
Every time you test it becauseit's actually sticky.
It's pulling sticky stuff offyour hand and it's mixing with

(24:09):
the chemicals on the strip Onceit has the chemical they'll find
a chemical that's in the HME,or they'll find a chemical
that's in a mortar or whateverit is they suspect you of.
I think they can even dotobacco and alcohol and stuff,
like we didn't have that becausewe don't care, but like if they

(24:32):
had explosives or they just gotdone shooting a weapon.
Then we could test that striparound, like where their their
thumb would be or theirfingertips and we could see.
And this one came up positiveas shit.
And this guy kept on making metest them and I was like dude,
I've already fucking tested them, I'm done with this.
And then the commander came byand, like you guys, got to keep
playing along and so I had tokeep testing this fucking

(24:53):
asshole.
Like every time we fucking test, I was getting lower and lower.
He took a picture of the onethat showed almost no and it was
still a little bit of purple onthere, but it was so, so slim
you couldn't really see it.
You know you take a picture ofsomething that has color and
then you get the flash and thecolor's kind of gone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's whathe took.
He didn't show the 20 stripsthat I had taken before that
were like porno purple, showingthat this kid was the one that

(25:19):
did it, like that was just toprove that he did it, and one
that did it that was just toprove that he did it.
And even when we knew he did it, we still let the little
motherfucker go.
We didn't arrest him, we didn't.
I yelled at him, said show meyour fucking uncle, because he
said his uncle gave it to him.
And I tried to make him give mehis uncle and he started crying
like a little bitch.
I was like I don't have timefor this shit.
Get the fuck out of here.
But, I got famous.

(25:39):
Famous because they tried tosay I was interrogating some
random innocent person on abattlefield.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yeah, that's the, that's the, that's the liberal,
that that's the screwed up partof the media period All
reporters see and that's wherethis podcast, this is where I
try to separate myself.
I'm not going to be superbiased, I'm not going to be
Obviously, I voted for Trump,first term, second term.
There's some things that youknow, I think, may, from my

(26:05):
eyesight, be a little bitridiculous and could be an ego
thing, but you know for yourself, I didn't realize it was a
business decision.
So now we can drill, drill,baby drill in the Gulf of Mexico
, which is, at the end of theday, it is better for America.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
I'm sure there's more technicalities to it, but like
with trump, like I mean he, hedoes have he comes off with that
east coast mentality, and alsoeven your mentality, because I,
I'm, I'm from the, the southwest, I guess.
So anybody from the easternpart of the united states has
that same mentality to me.
What?

Speaker 2 (26:40):
do you mean?
What is the mentality?

Speaker 1 (26:41):
like, uh, like tell me I don't know how to explain
it like I mean, anybody that'slistening will know what it
feels like to talk to somebodyfrom the east coast, if you're
not what we're like.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
No, no it alls.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
I'm gonna know what yeah, a little bit like you guys
.
Just come off as a bit, I guessin your face ish maybe I don't
fucking know like it doesn'tbother me like I know that.
It's just a, it's a culturalthing.
That's the culture you guys arefrom, but trump has it and and
spades because he's fromfreaking new york yeah, yeah, I
mean, he's a shrewd businessmandude.

(27:13):
I just can't believe he's got alot of that with him.
But he also does it smartly,like he comes off like an idiot.
Not an idiot.
He comes off like he doesn'tknow what he's doing and that
there's not a bigger plan to it.
Or he'll say something that'sgoing to get everybody worked up
and you're talking aboutwhatever silly shit that he just
said that got everybody workedup and completely forget that

(27:34):
he's got 10 more moves waitingon the backside that's going to
lock him in.
This change in the name hadnothing to do with ego.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
That's a step to get us back into drilling okay, all
right, I I see uh and I liked itand I like that perspective.
Now here and I believe it too,I'm not saying I'm not just
saying that with a uh being asmart ass, but with that said yo
gee, I do remember, like ourfirst few nights there, we
wrapped up a couple bad guys Idon't know if they were bad or

(28:05):
not, but there was like PsyOpsor some shit in there with some
sort of retina scanner.
Do you know what I'm talkingabout?
Yeah, the biometric scanner.
Yeah, what's the deal with that?
What did that do?

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Well, so it's like a fingerprint, but you can't
really hide your finger Liketechnically.
If you really wanted to likeyour say this, you could burn
your fingerprints off, but sortof stabbing your eyes out, you
can't really escape the thebiometric retina scanner.
So a lot of times, well, likeat checkpoints and this is like
a little portable scanner, youknow, at checkpoints, uh, and

(28:36):
definitely all the the peoplethat are coming in and out of
base, because we bring guys into help us fill sandbags, like
we're trying to give them jobsand stuff to go back and feed
their family and stuff.
So whatever jobs we can, wehave them come in.
They of course be under guardwhile they're on base.
But everybody that comes on thebase gets scanned.
Every time there's a big fightand we take prisoners, we scan

(28:57):
their eyes.
But this is because your eyesform a very, very, very unique
signature that we can put in adatabase.
So all those guys, I wasactually nervous that I was in
that database because we playedaround with those stupid
scanners for a few times.
I'm pretty sure I didn't hitsave, but you never know, I was

(29:18):
like I'm not a fucking terrorist, dude, dude, that's another
testament to God being beingreal man, like I don't know the
whole god and religious thing.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
It does blow my mind sometimes, gee, but like you
know, I'm a firm believer.
There's, there's one god.
I mean, just look at thefingerprints.
There's one fingerprint forevery single human being.
I mean, we can't't.
It's ridiculous how, you know,even science, science can't,
doesn't, meet our eyes everysingle day.

(29:48):
Like we can, you know, we cantouch base with him, though, and
and I, I swear to God, that'sthe most important thing in my

(30:12):
life.
But but I don't live that way,gee, I'm a hypocrite, you know,
I, I, I'm a hypocrite, but youknow it's, it's a very I try to
live that way and I failmiserably.
But the cool thing is no, butyou're making strides, man,
you're making strides.
Somebody like yourself and thehell you've been through from
childhood on throughout yourlife I mean even dumb shit still

(30:35):
continues to happen.
Some retard comes up andpunches you.
It's just dumb shit, dude, andI'm surprised you didn't shoot
him.
But it's like you know.
I mean I think you're makingstrides, jay.
You know I mean I'm not withyou every day but, like I told
the audience in the beginning,you're somebody I look up to and
you're a solid brother.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
I don't know about looking up to someone like me.
That's why I'm so shot out.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
That's why I'm so shot out.
Gee, you're the man shot out.
I'm so shot out.
Gee, you're the man.
I'm going to end this.
I'm going to hit, stop and thenhang on for a second.
I appreciate you.
You're always welcome back andI'm glad you came back, and you
know you're the best man Born tofight.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Born to fight.
