Speaker 1 (00:00):
That's a beautiful green area. And I was kind of
surprised because you're right there next to Yale University, so
you would also think that's kind of a safety and
security issue for these these students.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Uh, and my kids go to school in New Haven,
not not at Yale, which may surprise you from the conversation.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
We've had something.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I went to a dumb, little sec school called University
of Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
So and uh, they'll say too, it's scary because it's
not it's not panhandling the way we knew it before
or any change me. It's aggressive now and they are
very angry if you if you just choose, because I
always say, just keep your eyes ahead of you and
just keep on moving, you know, fast moving, you know crowds,
(00:46):
and they're like that, it's it's now my daughter. They'll
approach her at her car at a red light, you know,
scary that is for a young girl. Times and come
banging on the door. It's a big issue in New Haven.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Now, let me ask it. Because I saw this is
marijuana legal here? Because yeah, oh yeah yeah, because I
saw guys you know, pupping on unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I took a train into New York last week with
my daughter during my vacation and a guy just had
it was honestly the I think the biggest joint I've
ever seen in my life in his mouth on the train,
ready to light it on the training. I wondered if
you even could on the train. The fact that we've
even decriminalized it, it is crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Well, I always get asked that question because that's even
something that you know, I live in Texas. Now that's
even something that has come up as an issue in Texas.
But when you look at legalizing marijuana, number one, you
lose your Second Amendment rights because on the forty four
to seventy three form when you feel to get a firearm,
it asked you specifically, are you under the influence of marijuana?
(01:50):
Do you consume marijuana? So you know, either you can
be hunted by and then you can lie on your
forty four seventy three form and face you know, penalty charge,
or you know, you don't get the Second Amendment right.
And then the other thing is that the military we
still ask you if you are under the influence or
been partaken in marijuana, so it can you know, affect
our national security. So this whole thing about legalizing marijuana.
(02:13):
I don't want to see a bunch of potheads run
around and definitely driving on I ninety five or I ninety.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
One of the A yeah, yeah, that was one of
the most frustrating things that I watched unfold here in
Connecticut when the legalize it movement took hold and you
saw everybody vote in favor of it. But now those
very people who voted, they don't want any of the
dispensaries in their town. And they'll say, not in my TOWNE. Well,
(02:39):
you voted to legalize it, but you want to keep
your town.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
That nimby thing, not in my backyard, that's it.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yeah, but it's you know, there's a dispensary one town over.
The kids aren't going to drive the one town over
the hop, skip and the jump. So there was so
much it was a money grab. And that's what I
find really ugly about the whole thing too. Ye call
it blood money.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
It is.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
It's sad that people will try to capitalize on something
that can have a detrimental effect on people mentally and
physically and all those ways. And it's a gateway. I mean,
once you get past, you know, the high marijuana.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Then what next?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, oh, I agree totally. So you called Texas home.
Now I thought it was Florida, but it was Florida
for a while.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Well, yeah, when I retired from the military out of
Fort Hood, Texas, and now it's Fort Hood once again.
I lived down You got to ask your wife because
my wife's dad was twenty four years career military and
then she got stupid and married me, and so I
dragged around. So I said, wherever you want to go.
So we went to South Florida and we lived down
there in the Fort Lauderdale area for ten years, and
(03:45):
then got the opportunity in twenty fourteen to come back
to Texas and so we've been there outside Dallas since
twenty fourteen.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah, how do you feel, Dysantis? What do you think
of all the noise DeSantis has been making them Florida
all these years.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Well, you know, I think that he probably jumped the
gun a little bit too soon running for president, because
it's going to be very difficult now. I think that
you're looking at an air apparent. I hate to use
those words, but with JD Vance and but Florida will
get this opportunity because I really think that my Marco
Rubio will be the vice president.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
That's interesting too, you know, it's such an You've got
DeSantis in Florida, You've got newsome and polar opposites, polar
opposites and polarizing. It's like the time has come to
be And I don't know if Trump set this president,
but it's be a character, be loud, be outspoken. Social
Media plays such a huge role, it's incredible, for better
(04:43):
or worse. I don't really like it, but it is
a necessary tool, I guess, so I've got to accept it.
But you could really put your foot in your mouth
on there, and you have.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
To be disciplined with it, I mean with anything that
you have. And so yes, when you have a media
establishment that is going to, you know, kind of put
the kibosh on you getting your word out, then that's
where you see a lot of people. And Donald Trump
has done that, you know, quite effectively, you social what
have you in getting his message out. But sometimes you
can get a little bit over your skis if you
(05:14):
know that that metaphor, and you got to be careful
about that because you don't want to get out in
front of you know, your cabinet, and now all of
a sudden they're trying to run and catch up with
a policy declaration that you made that they didn't know about.
So I think it's really important that you stay in
a traditional lane, but you can use some of these
(05:35):
non traditional platforms.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Speaking of traditional too, and we have Alan West in
with us tonight. Tickets still available for the event tonight
and Anthony Ocean View six to nine pm. I supposed
to buy them at the door, but you could also
hop on the Facebook page right now, East Saving Republican
Republican Town Committee page right now and snap up tickets.
But I did want to touch upon what we were
(05:57):
talking about for really quickly, the barrel story, especially.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
That's that's this is near and dear to us down south,
because you know, I was born and raised in Georgia,
which is the birthplace of waffle House.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
And I and love to get a waffle house so.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Awesome, And so I went to, like I said, University
of Tennessee, and that was the birthplace of Cracker Barrel.
And as a matter of fact, I just aided the
Cracker Barrel a couple of days ago up in Lynchburg
Virginia and it's the atmosphere. Yeah, you walk in there.
When they say an old country store, I mean you
got all the memorabilia and everything. During the winter time
they have the fireplace going, so it's nice and comfy
(06:35):
and it's good comfort food. It's good Southern. Now all
of a sudden, you get this wacko ceo that comes
in and she wants to, you know, redo the brand
and the logo and everything, take off country store and
take off all of that memorabilia. And it really reminds
me of the bud Light stupidity with Bill and Molvany.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah. Yeah, that's what it was just sounding like to me,
And I was afraid to step into that because it
does seem I guess I'm about to step into it young,
usually pretty close to fresh out of college marketing degrees female.
I see a lot of that, and it's just very woke.
(07:17):
Although I don't know if this necessarily is. The new
logo is just boring to me, it has. What I
liked was that I love seeing but I'm strange this way,
but I love seeing down in the corner of something.
Since nineteen seventeen, I like to know something's been around
I like that. Look, I'm a New England guy through
and through. I looked at the new logo and I thought,
(07:38):
what's the point of this. It's boring.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It is totally boring. It's sparse, and again you're losing
that connection when you go into a Cracker Brough. Lots
of times people go and shop in the store and
get all of the I mean, like the old candies
that we have.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I'm a sucker for that.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, yeah, people love that yet and now she is
completely going away from that. So again I think it's
know your audience, know your crowd, because that's why people
go to Crackerberr.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
That atmosphere.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Yeah, I remember when we got the first cracker barrel here.
There's got to be more than one, but it was
an Orange, Connecticut and there'd be a forty five minute wait,
like you couldn't wait to go.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
You can't get near there on the sun.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
A waffle house would do big business.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
You don't have these, no, I know, Vinnie, I know what, Vinnie,
I should hash brown, scattered, smothered and covered.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Yeah. No, you know what my best story is about that?
There is I remember the you know, being in Tennessee
and eating at one, uh ordering, you know, my waffles,
and when you look at the side orders, it literally said,
which I'm sure you know, you know, bacon, sausage, ham,
or pork chop. And I'm like, how is a pork
chop a side dish? Like you get a waffle with
(08:51):
a side of a pork chops? So of course I
got it, But that at a waffle house, the side
dishes are pork chops, yeah, t.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Bone steak and eggs and yeah, you know all the
steak of eggss banging.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I have two grandsons.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
The oldest is four, the youngest is twenty two months,
and their waffle house officionados. Now yeah, I mean the
four year old will say, you know, pop, pop, let's
go waffle house. Yeah, and he will sit there. He
loves to sit at the counter. He loves sit up
at the county and he will tear down a complete
waffle and he loves the sausage space. Vinnie, I mean
somebody out there, Yeah, listen to me, open up a
(09:26):
waffle waffle house franchise here.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I'll be back, I'll cut the ribbon.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Oh that's a great that's a great offer right there,
and it is. It's tradition, it's history. It's I don't
think I'm alone when people say, oh, since, you know,
I was just talking about the Big E which is
coming up, and since nineteen sixteen. But we're very busy
right now. It's a very interesting time in American history
where history is being rewritten and being scrubbed out of
(09:54):
our kids' school books. And it's said something people can
expect in your your speaking engagement. I know they're all different.
You've had a very busy summer.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Well, it's been a busy summer. But some things, some
messages are so important and a lot of people we
were talking about this before we came on there saying
why are you here, colonel. I mean, this is deep
blue Connecticut. It's like, well, this is where you should go.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
One of the great things that Eric and I understand
our brotherhood as paratroopers, is that paratroopers jump in behind
enemy lines. They cause disruption, They caused confusion, and that's
what we need to do. We need to go into
these places like Connecticut whatever, and we need to challenge
the leftists and say that, you know, we think there's
a better way, and we need to connect with people
(10:37):
to do that. I mean, look right down the road
in New York City, a place that September eleventh, two
thousand and one, was attacked by Islamic Jihadis. Now they're
about to you know, elect in Islamic Jihadis and anti
Semite and a Marxist in the financial capital of the
world to be as mayor. Why does that happen because
we don't have these conversations, we don't talk about these things,
(10:59):
we don't talk about these policies and principles, and it's
so important to do that wherever you are. You know,
we just had this battle down in Texas about redistricting,
and of course the left went apoplectic about Texas getting
you know, five new congressional districts, which when you look
at Texas, the population shift and all of these things,
(11:21):
it needs to reflect the.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Voting pattern.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
But you come here to Connecticut, you got zero zero
Republicans in their congressional delegation. You go up north to
Massachusetts zero, Vermont zero, New Half to zero. And so
it's just funny when you look at these blue states
and they are restricting representation because they're the ones out
there doing the Germanic and so it's important we have
a conversation about civics and getting people to understand these things,
(11:48):
getting people to understand why illegal immigrant should not be
counted in the census, because the census is the means
by which you direct apportionment of congressional representation or even
down to the local level. So that's why I enjoy
coming to states like Connecticut, because it's easy to talk
about these things in Texas. But let's go and talk
(12:09):
about these things another place.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I think it's going to be a great conversation today.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
You know.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
One thought that I had recently too, is in the
last ten years or so, I've seen a lot of
people become considerably more outspoken about politics I think we
all have, and very Republican, that they're supporters of Trump,
if not so much supporters of Trump. There's been a surge,
but they're not registering Republican, they're voting. They voted for Trump,
(12:37):
and I think that is that reflected. Is that a
number that you've seen people need to register Republican too,
and that will bolster the party?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Well, I will tell you, and.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Even but I'm still a registered independent.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
In the last four years, the Democrat Party nationally has
lost the two point one voter registration. There are people
that are making walk away, walking away from it because
it's just gotten away from your basic fundamental common sense.
When you're out there advocating for biological males to be
in girls' sports, when you're out there, you know, running
(13:13):
around with the terrorist flag of a moss and supporting them,
when you are, you know, saying that open borders is
an okay thing. When you drive up the road to Boston,
you got a mayor there that says, we're not going
to allow law enforcement to enforce the law. We want
criminal legal immigrants, murderers and rapists. People are saying, I
can't go with that. I can't deal with that. You know,
(13:34):
Eric and I were talking about Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan
was never a conservative whatever, and he is shifted away
from that more libertarian, but still he's shifted away from that.
So I think that it's less about party, but it's
more about people's principles. It's more about people's values, and
at the top of that is safety and security. If
you do not want to support folks safety and security,
(13:55):
people are going to go to a different message. And
Trump again, he's just talking to the every day Joe
and Jane six pack is just common sense stuff that
people said, why not? And so when you all of
a sudden, say in Washington, d C. And I was
recently there, it's a dangerous place. Now in nine days,
you've seen violent crime decrease. You haven't had a murder
(14:18):
in like, I don't know, a couple of weeks. Now,
what's wrong with that? How can you say that that's
that's a bad thing. So I think that that is
what is happening across the United States of America. And
the legal immigration issue was huge across this country to
the point in Texas, twelve or fourteen border counties in
(14:39):
the state of Texas used to be solid blue. They
flipped because the folks down there they don't want to
see that.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
There is a lot of flipping going on. Yeah, yeah,
and there might be more tonight thanks to you.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Well, I don't know. I don't take credit. I'm just,
you know, glad to be here and be a servant
to that.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
And I want to get you back here for that
ribbon cutting. I hope we started a hope started a
movement which I will take credit for, but I would
I would need you by my side to do it.
Alan West, Tonight, six to nine o'clock Anthony's Ocean View.
Thanks so much for taking the time to come in
this morning too. Sorry to keep you waiting out.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
There earlier time. I'm friend.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Yeah, and if you haven't eaten yet, we've got a
great eye hop. That's as close as we're gonna get
right and.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
This great stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
It's been a blast having on. I'll see you tonight.
I'll be dressed much much better tonight.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Look, I wish I could dress like that today
That's a beautiful green area. And I was kind of
surprised because you're right there next to Yale University, so
you would also think that's kind of a safety and
security issue for these these students.
Speaker 2 (00:11):

approach her at her car at a red light, you know,

an Orange, Connecticut and there'd be a forty five minute wait,
like you couldn't wait to go.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
You can't get near there on the sun.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
A waffle house would do big business.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
You don't have these, no, I know, Vinnie, I know what, Vinnie,
I should hash brown, scattered, smothered and covered.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Yeah. No, you know what my best story is about that?
There is I remember the you know, being in Tennessee
and eating at one, uh ordering, you know, my waffles,
and when you look at the side orders, it literally said,
which I'm sure you know, you know, bacon, sausage, ham,
or pork chop. And I'm like, how is a pork
chop a side dish? Like you get a waffle with
(08:51):
a side of a pork chops? So of course I
got it, But that at a waffle house, the side
dishes are pork chops, yeah, t.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Bone steak and eggs and yeah, you know all the
steak of eggss banging.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I have two grandsons.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
The oldest is four, the youngest is twenty two months,
and their waffle house officionados. Now yeah, I mean the
four year old will say, you know, pop, pop, let's
go waffle house. Yeah, and he will sit there. He
loves to sit at the counter. He loves sit up
at the county and he will tear down a complete
waffle and he loves the sausage space. Vinnie, I mean
somebody out there, Yeah, listen to me, open up a
(09:26):
waffle waffle house franchise here.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I'll be back, I'll cut the ribbon.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Oh that's a great that's a great offer right there,
and it is. It's tradition, it's history. It's I don't
think I'm alone when people say, oh, since, you know,
I was just talking about the Big E which is
coming up, and since nineteen sixteen. But we're very busy
right now. It's a very interesting time in American history
where history is being rewritten and being scrubbed out of
(09:54):
our kids' school books. And it's said something people can
expect in your your speaking engagement. I know they're all different.
You've had a very busy summer.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Well, it's been a busy summer. But some things, some
messages are so important and a lot of people we
were talking about this before we came on there saying
why are you here, colonel. I mean, this is deep
blue Connecticut. It's like, well, this is where you should go.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
One of the great things that Eric and I understand
our brotherhood as paratroopers, is that paratroopers jump in behind
enemy lines. They cause disruption, They caused confusion, and that's
what we need to do. We need to go into
these places like Connecticut whatever, and we need to challenge
the leftists and say that, you know, we think there's
a better way, and we need to connect with people
(10:37):
to do that. I mean, look right down the road
in New York City, a place that September eleventh, two
thousand and one, was attacked by Islamic Jihadis. Now they're
about to you know, elect in Islamic Jihadis and anti
Semite and a Marxist in the financial capital of the
world to be as mayor. Why does that happen because
we don't have these conversations, we don't talk about these things,
(10:59):
we don't talk about these policies and principles, and it's
so important to do that wherever you are. You know,
we just had this battle down in Texas about redistricting,
and of course the left went apoplectic about Texas getting
you know, five new congressional districts, which when you look
at Texas, the population shift and all of these things,
(11:21):
it needs to reflect the.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Voting pattern.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
But you come here to Connecticut, you got zero zero
Republicans in their congressional delegation. You go up north to
Massachusetts zero, Vermont zero, New Half to zero. And so
it's just funny when you look at these blue states
and they are restricting representation because they're the ones out
there doing the Germanic and so it's important we have
a conversation about civics and getting people to understand these things,
(11:48):
getting people to understand why illegal immigrant should not be
counted in the census, because the census is the means
by which you direct apportionment of congressional representation or even
down to the local level. So that's why I enjoy
coming to states like Connecticut, because it's easy to talk
about these things in Texas. But let's go and talk
(12:09):
about these things another place.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I think it's going to be a great conversation today.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
You know.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
One thought that I had recently too, is in the
last ten years or so, I've seen a lot of
people become considerably more outspoken about politics I think we
all have, and very Republican, that they're supporters of Trump,
if not so much supporters of Trump. There's been a surge,
but they're not registering Republican, they're voting. They voted for Trump,
(12:37):
and I think that is that reflected. Is that a
number that you've seen people need to register Republican too,
and that will bolster the party?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Well, I will tell you, and.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Even but I'm still a registered independent.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
In the last four years, the Democrat Party nationally has
lost the two point one voter registration. There are people
that are making walk away, walking away from it because
it's just gotten away from your basic fundamental common sense.
When you're out there advocating for biological males to be
in girls' sports, when you're out there, you know, running
(13:13):
around with the terrorist flag of a moss and supporting them,
when you are, you know, saying that open borders is
an okay thing. When you drive up the road to Boston,
you got a mayor there that says, we're not going
to allow law enforcement to enforce the law. We want
criminal legal immigrants, murderers and rapists. People are saying, I
can't go with that. I can't deal with that. You know,
(13:34):
Eric and I were talking about Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan
was never a conservative whatever, and he is shifted away
from that more libertarian, but still he's shifted away from that.
So I think that it's less about party, but it's
more about people's principles. It's more about people's values, and
at the top of that is safety and security. If
you do not want to support folks safety and security,
(13:55):
people are going to go to a different message. And
Trump again, he's just talking to the every day Joe
and Jane six pack is just common sense stuff that
people said, why not? And so when you all of
a sudden, say in Washington, d C. And I was
recently there, it's a dangerous place. Now in nine days,
you've seen violent crime decrease. You haven't had a murder
(14:18):
in like, I don't know, a couple of weeks. Now,
what's wrong with that? How can you say that that's
that's a bad thing. So I think that that is
what is happening across the United States of America. And
the legal immigration issue was huge across this country to
the point in Texas, twelve or fourteen border counties in
(14:39):
the state of Texas used to be solid blue. They
flipped because the folks down there they don't want to
see that.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
There is a lot of flipping going on. Yeah, yeah,
and there might be more tonight thanks to you.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Well, I don't know. I don't take credit. I'm just,
you know, glad to be here and be a servant
to that.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
And I want to get you back here for that
ribbon cutting. I hope we started a hope started a
movement which I will take credit for, but I would
I would need you by my side to do it.
Alan West, Tonight, six to nine o'clock Anthony's Ocean View.
