I hate drama—drama, influencer drama, internet drama—the theatrics I can’t stand. The only reason I’m going after Crenshaw is that I’m sick of officials silencing and bullying ordinary Americans. Somebody’s got to stand up to this, and it might as well be me. I hope he never, ever gets the opportunity to do this again.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion centers on MIT war games and what they reveal about warfare, logistics, and counterinsurgency. The speaker notes that 80% of the time when someone is shot down, the shooter is unknown, highlighting how war can be driven by unseen factors. In addressing how to win, four hard conditions for counterinsurgency are laid out: first, isolate the battlefield so guerrillas cannot restock or reassemble; second, isolate the population so the guerrillas cannot interact with it; third, conduct hunt-and-destroy missions to exhaust and remove the insurgents; and fourth, establish institutions that can take over when U.S. forces leave, acknowledging that some cultures may lack robust institutions to sustain democracy.
The speaker traces a personal arc as a targeting officer, involved for about ten years in the Kosovo conflict, on the targeting staff in Naples during the bombing of Serbia, and then mobilized after 9/11 into counterterrorism, focusing on organizations and individuals rather than bombing targets. He recalls a year and a half at Pearl Harbor working with communities and mentions the Burnham kidnappings in The Philippines, where Abu Sayyaf held two Christian missionaries. The mission to rescue them was denied by the White House, transferring to Filipino rangers, who suffered an accident with undisciplined fire control that killed one American hostage and wounded Grisha Burnham. The debrief of Grisha Burnham lasted about three days and yielded valuable insights about what the hostages saw and heard, information that informed subsequent operations.
On war game simulations, the speaker explains that warfare can be reduced to mathematical modeling, though not perfectly. He references attempts to reduce warfare to equations, such as Lanchester equations used after World War I, and notes their rough reflection of reality. His master’s thesis at MIT involved modeling a hypothetical major war in Central Europe during the 1990s, focusing on the air element and running simulations over months to determine who would win under various conditions and to identify key variables. The number-one determinant of success in aerial warfare, according to his research and conversations with experts, is pilot quality and training rather than hardware; the Israelis are highlighted for their exemplary training and flight tempo.
Regarding the broader question of what matters most in all warfare, the response underscores logistics as central: “amateurs study tactics. Professionals study logistics.” Without beans and bullets, even the best troops fail. The discussion ties this to counterinsurgency, reiterating that winning such campaigns is exceptionally difficult and hinges on isolating the battlefield and population, conducting effective hunt-and-destroy operations, and building durable institutions to sustain governance after withdrawal. The conversation closes with a general reminder of audience engagement messages.

Speaker 0: Let's go back to the MIT war games. Sure. Can you go into a little more detail on what that is? Most people
Speaker 1: don't realize. 80% of the time when someone is shot down, they have no idea who shot them down.
Speaker 0: How do you win it? There are
Speaker 1: four conditions, and they're hard. Counterinsurgency winning a counterinsurgency is one of the most difficult things you can do in warfare. Pilot qual as Napoleon said, amateurs study tactics. Professionals study logistics. You can have the best troops in the world, but if they don't have beans and bullets, you're gonna lose.
For about ten years, I was a targeting officer. I was involved in the Kosovo conflict. I was on the targeting staff in Naples, Italy when we were bombing Serbia, directly involved in those operations and battle damage assessment. And then nine eleven happened, and I was mobilized and cross trained into counterterrorism. So I became a targeting officer, but for organizations and individuals, not bombing targets.
And I was deployed to Pearl Harbor for about a year and a half and was involved in some of the communities. Really? The hostage rescue in The Philippines and other things. Yeah.
Speaker 0: What hostage rescue in The Philippines?
Speaker 1: The Burnhams. They were two Christian missionaries that were being held by Abu Sayyaf, the Al Qaeda affiliate in The Philippines. And our job was to try and track them down and help get them out. And it's documented now in novels and other things. But we were with the other members of the community.
Three letter agencies. You know who they are. We were able to locate them. And we desperately wanted CL six to go in and get them out of where they were in The Philippines. But the Filipinos are quite strict that US combat forces are not allowed to conduct operations on their soil.
And from what I understand, this went all the way up to the White House, and it was denied. And they gave the mission over to the Filipino rangers. And in the rescue operation, they came over the hill where the hostages were. They had undisciplined fire control. They killed one of the two American hostages by accident, and they shot Grisha Burnham, the wife, in the leg.
They evacuated her, and then I was fortunate enough to do the debrief of her for about three days after that.
Speaker 0: Wow. Man.
Speaker 1: But we learned an immense amount from her in the debrief about their operations, who they were, all that.
Speaker 0: Do you want to talk about that at all? Or
Speaker 1: Not a lot. But I will just say that, yes, it can be very valuable to learn what people see and heard. Hostages often know a heck of a lot more than they think they do. Mhmm.
Speaker 0: Yeah. If you
Speaker 1: debrief them properly. And then that information would go right back to the community, which was therefore very useful in the subsequent years as other teams continued, shall we say, to prosecute them very effectively, actually.
Speaker 0: Let's go back to the MIT war games. Sure. What what what can you go into a little more detail on what that is? A
Speaker 1: lot
Speaker 0: of people don't understand what war game simulation is.
Speaker 1: Sure. Unfortunately, it sounds reductionist and it doesn't sound very kind. But war is a process like any other, like business, like a football or baseball. It can be reduced, in some respects, to mathematics. A larger force will almost certainly defeat a much smaller one.
It's a matter of time. Well, what about different quality? Okay. That would be a factor you'd put into a mathematical equation. In fact, some people tried to reduce warfare to mathematical equations, especially after World War I when it was very mathematical.
How much artillery do you put on a target to destroy it? Then you can do this and this. And of them are called Lanchester equations and others. And they're not exactly right, but they do rhyme a lot with the real world. And that was one thing that I was researching a lot was particularly in conventional warfare.
Could you actually model certain aspects of combat to predict their outcomes? But more importantly than predicting the outcome, what are the most important variables that determine the outcome of a conflict? My master's thesis at MIT was figuring out what would have happened if there'd been a major war in Central Europe during the nineteen nineties. Who would have won in the air? So I focused on the air element of a war in Central Europe.
No one had really done it before. So I built a mathematical model in simulation that simulated, you know, the forces fighting each other over several months and coming up with a conclusion of, yes, of who would win under what conditions, but also what the key variable was. What was fascinating after doing all this research and talking to all these experts, the number one determinant of who would win in aerial warfare, and this applies to any scenario, are pilots. Pilot quality and training. That's why the Israelis are so incredibly good.
Their training is incredible. They fly all the time. They have great systems. It's less about the hardware than about the pilots. Most people don't realize 80% of the time when someone is shot down, they have no idea who shot them down.
It comes out of nowhere. The aces are very rare. They're less than 5% or less of pilots in wartime. And usually pilots are either hawks or they're pigeons, as they're called. And therefore, really, air warfare is determined by the pilots.
Speaker 0: Interesting. What about all of warfare? What what would you say the the single most important aspect is? Is it logistics?
Speaker 1: Oh, good for you. As Napoleon said, amateurs study tactics. Professionals study logistics. You can have the best troops in the world, but if they don't have beans and bullets, you're gonna lose. Mhmm.
So but that also gets into a completely separate discussion, which I know, you know, you and many of your former guests have spoken about, which is counterinsurgency. I've been fascinated by, at the academic level and the practical level, of how to win a counterinsurgency. And it's really, really hard. And I fear that The United States just still doesn't get it, of how you actually have to win a guerrilla war based on history.
Speaker 0: How do you have to how do you win it?
Speaker 1: There are four conditions. And they're hard. Winning a counterinsurgency is one of the most difficult things you can do in warfare. Amphibious operations are right up there, but counterinsurgency is one. Number one, you have to isolate the battlefield if you do not restrict the ability of guerrillas to go and rest, resupply, and come back, you're you're almost never gonna win.
Every successful major counterinsurgency has done that. We did not do it in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh Trail. We did not do it in Iraq, Iran, and Syria. We did not do it in Afghanistan, Pakistan. How can you hope to win?
We were in Afghanistan for twenty years. We never sealed the border, so they were constantly able to rejuvenate. Regeneration is the dirty secret of counterinsurgencies that I'm sure you know. You can kill and kill and kill your adversaries, but they're going to keep regenerating if you don't cut them off from their base of supply. Number two, you have to isolate the population.
We started doing that in the latter stages of Vietnam, and it was somewhat successful. But the British did it ruthlessly and very effectively during the Boer War. And the British won the counterinsurgency known as the Boer War in the early 1900s. And they they put the population in camps where they could not support and interact with the gorillas. Number three, you do have to have hunt and seek and destroy missions.
You do have to hunt down the bad guys and keep them on the run and exhaust them just like a wolf going after a buffalo. Run and run until they're exhausted, and then you can take care of them. And if they can't then regenerate, you're winning. And then number four, very importantly, you have to have institutions in place that can take over when you leave. Solid institutions.
Americans, wonderful as we are, we think democracy is the answer to everything. And I love democracy. But there we have to acknowledge that there are some cultures and places in the world that don't have institutions or cultures strong enough to handle the rough and tumble of democratic institutions that can be easily corrupted.

Checklist of summary approach:
- Identify expedition scope, depths, and locations (Java Trench, Mariana Trench; number of dives; equipment).
- Highlight key discoveries: new species, notable examples (stalked decidion), depth-related biology, chemosynthesis, bioluminescence.
- Describe methods and procedures: landers, filming, traps, rapid sample freezing, DNA analysis.
- Summarize findings on DNA variation, migration questions, and cross-trench similarities.
- Note remarkable observations (deepest fish, bioluminescent communication) and their implications.
- Provide historical context and significance of the mission and technology (Triton submarines).
- Emphasize unique or surprising details without evaluating claims.
Summary:
The expedition targeted the deepest ocean trenches, including the Java Trench off Indonesia and the Mariana Trench, conducting five dives to the bottom in ten days with Triton-built submersibles. Three landers—unmoving robots that served as navigation beacons and filming platforms—descended with the sub, studied bottom life, and supported live sampling. They deployed traps for mobile animals and released dead fish to attract prey, then rapidly transferred samples from the landers to a freezer on the surface to preserve morphology for post-mission comparison with film; the process was critical because high pressure causes disintegration when brought up.
Across each dive, researchers typically found a new species, reflecting tens of millions of years of isolation on the ocean floor. In deeper zones, organisms are smaller: microbially-lean amphipods, worms, and other tiny creatures that endure “conditions of eight tons per square inch on every surface of their body,” living in freezing cold water without sunlight. Bacteria colonies on rock surfaces rely on chemosynthesis, drawing energy from methane seeping from rocks, a life form distinct from terrestrial biology. This deep-sea ecosystem informs how life elsewhere in the solar system might look, suggesting that life on moons like Ganymede or Europa could resemble deep-ocean trench life more than sunlit, surface life.
Samples revealed significant DNA variation between trenches, though some trenches thousands of miles apart host essentially the same creatures, raising questions about how trenches are connected and how migration occurs. In Java Trench they found a creature described as “a jellyfish with a cable coming out the back end of it,” called the stalked decidion; a near-identical form was later observed under Antarctica, signaling surprising distribution patterns.
Bioluminescence is the ocean’s most common communication form. At depths around 2,000–3,000 meters, turning off lights and then on causes flashes throughout the water, as if the organisms are “talking back” to the submarine—a striking example of life’s dialogue in darkness. Below about 6,000 meters, photons are virtually absent, making the abyss pitch black—the kind of environment that inspired the Nietzsche line about looking into the abyss.
In 2022, the expedition documented the deepest fish yet in a Japanese trench; it is gelatinous and ghostly white with an embedded grin, swimming along the seafloor and feeding on debris from above, with vertebrae not forming under extreme pressure. Depth and pressure render skeletal structures impossible in some cases, illustrating the extreme adaptations at these depths.
Historically, the mission followed a select lineage of extreme exploration: only two prior bottom-of-the-ocean ventures existed (1960; 2012), and this project completed multiple bottom visits, with more than 20 people involved in the voyage. The Triton submarine fleet enabled unprecedented repeated, safer access to anywhere on the seafloor.

Speaker 0: What kind of species did you find?
Speaker 1: It looks like a jellyfish with a cable coming out the back end of it. It was bizarre. These are creatures that live in conditions of eight tons per square inch. I had robots that went down with me. We called them landers.
They didn't move, but they would come down with me and land on the bottom. We found one creature in the Java Trench off of Indonesia. It was the strangest thing I've ever seen underwater. Harsh environment. One of the harshest on the planet, if not the harshest.
That's why, you know, I had 90 millimeters of titanium protecting me in my sphere. You're seeing the blackest black that your mind can register. Was actually quite eerie. Remember Nietzsche, know, be careful when you look into the abyss. It's looking back into you too.
Oh, every die we went on, we typically found a new species, which the scientists later said, well, it'd be surprising if we didn't because these are isolated parts of the ocean floor that have had tens of millions of years of evolution, and no one has ever been there. So, yeah, you're going to find some different species. So why wouldn't you? But that was pretty cool.
Speaker 0: What kind of species did you find?
Speaker 1: Well, the deeper you go, the smaller they get. So the scientists, you know, they they love their microbes. They love doing DNA analysis and all that. But there are small amphipods. They're like miniature shrimp.
They're little worms. They're not something that people are gonna go, oh, ah, like looking at, you know, a lion on the Serengeti. But from a biological standpoint, they can be quite distinctive and very unique. These are creatures that live in conditions of eight tons per square inch on every surface of their body. That's almost that's like four automobiles on your fingertip.
That's where they live, in freezing cold water, and they never see sunlight. We saw colonies of bacteria on the bottom of the ocean, on the rocks, that never see sunlight, and yet they're alive. Well, how can that be? There's something called chemosynthesis, where these are colonies of life that are drawing energy from methane seeping from the rocks, living off the chemical reactions in the minerals of the rocks. This is a different form of life than what we have on the surface of the earth.
In fact, if we find life outside of earth in our solar system on Ganymede or Europa or these other moons that may have life, it'll probably look more similar to what we saw in the deep ocean trenches than what we see in the brilliantly lit shallow waters of the ocean or on land. So the scientists have been really excited about that. I mean,
Speaker 0: how do these organisms or these undiscovered species I mean, how are they able to withhold eight tons per did you say eight tons per square
Speaker 1: Eight tons per square inch. At the bottom of the Marina Trench, it's an incredibly harsh environment. One of the harshest on the planet, if not the harshest. That's why I had 90 millimeters of titanium protecting me in my sphere. And they are designed that way.
It's evolution. And I'm sure the one time in their life they ever saw light was when my submarine came to visit them. I'm sure they would look at me going, how does that thing survive? What an odd alien that is. It's all a frame of reference.
Speaker 0: Have they done any did you collect specimens?
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely. I had robots that went down with me. We called them landers. They didn't move, but they would come down with me and land on the bottom.
I had three of them. They would act as navigation beacons for me as the submersible pilot so I'd kind of know where I am. But they could also take film for long periods of time. And they studied everything that came up to feed on the dead fish that we had put out for them. And we also had traps where the animals that could move, you know, like a mousetrap, we would have them come into these cylinders and we would capture them and then bring them all the way up.
It was tricky because these creatures, as they get less and less pressure on their bodies, they start to disintegrate, kind of melt. So one of the procedures that we had to do was as soon as the landers came up onto the surface, it was a very rapid action drill to get the samples off the landers and into a freezer to freeze them so we could see what they mostly look like in their ambient environment. But then we could compare what we brought up to the film, and we could see what they basically had. But really, the key is to getting their DNA and looking at their DNA. I mean, for example, the scientists were fascinated to see, is the DNA from all these different trenches all over the world, is it the same, or is it different?
Because there are significant implications to both scenarios, and we didn't know until we went and actually did it. And it turns out a lot of it is different. But remarkably, there are trenches that are separated by thousands and thousands of miles that are basically the same creature. And yet how were these trenches ever connected? How did they migrate?
It's a mystery. We don't know. We found one creature in the Java Trench off of Indonesia. It was the strangest thing I've ever seen underwater. It was about at 6,000 meters.
And just recently, they saw something that looked exactly like it under Antarctica.
Speaker 0: No kidding. What did it look like?
Speaker 1: It looks like a jellyfish with a cable coming out the back end of it. It was bizarre. It's called the stalked decidion. It more more or less looks like a jellyfish, but it didn't move like a jellyfish. It looked like a balloon sort of, but it was moving.
And it came right up to the lander, did a right turn, and crossed it. And it was just bizarre.
Speaker 0: Do you see any, like, bioluminescence
Speaker 1: or anything like bioluminescence all the time. In fact, it's the most common form of communication on planet Earth.
Speaker 0: What do you mean by that?
Speaker 1: There are more organisms in the ocean than on land, and the primary form of communication for animals in the sea is light.
Speaker 0: Interesting. I
Speaker 1: didn't It's know not whales talking to each other with sonar, although they do that. But most life are small creatures, and they're bioluminescent. So at about two to 3,000 meters, when you start getting really dark, but before you get into, like, ultimate dark, below 6,000 meters, there's no photons. There isn't I mean, there's, like, no light. It's not possible to see light below 6,000 meters because all the photons are absorbed.
Now we bring lights with us on the submarine. But if you turn all the lights off on the submarine and you look out of the portal, you're seeing the blackest black that your mind can register. These are actually quite eerie. You know, remember Nietzsche. You know, be careful when you look into the abyss.
It's looking back into you too. But for bioluminescence, at about 2,000 or 3,000 meters, I would turn all the lights off. And then I would turn all of them on at once and then turn them off again like I was blinking. And sure enough, not all the time, but often, I'd start seeing flashes of light all throughout the ocean, like lightning away from the submarine, like they're talking back. It was like I was screaming in the ocean.
Hey. And they're all going, what? I have no idea what we were saying to each other. Wow. It was pretty special.
Speaker 0: Wow. That's incredible. I mean It's a whole different world. Did I hear something about the I mean, are there any do they have a skeletal structure? Any of these birds?
Speaker 1: A certain level, they can't. I can't remember the exact depth, but we found the deepest fish ever recorded in one of the Japanese trenches in 2022, our expedition did, with the Japanese who are great to work with, by the way. I can't exactly recall the exact depth of that fish, but it was predicted because after a certain pressure, vertebrae can't form. And without a vertebra, you can't have a fish.
Speaker 0: What did that fish look like?
Speaker 1: It looks it's very gelatinous. It's one of my favorite fishes because it kinda has an embedded grin on it. Just looks that way. And it just does its thing. It swims at the bottom of the ocean, and it feeds off whatever drops from above.
And it's kind of ghostly white, kind of translucent, but it looks like a pretty simple happy fish.
Speaker 0: What was the what was the specific motivation for going to these depths in these in these different parts of the ocean? I mean, was it because nobody had been there ever?
Speaker 1: Yeah. What was that like to be Well, it was a combination. No one had ever been there. And there's deep explorer gene, I guess. You want to go someplace no one else has ever been before.
But also the technical challenge. Only twice before our expedition had anyone ever been to the bottom of the ocean. In 1960, with captain Don Walsh of the US Navy and Jacques Picard, the Swiss engineer, they went down together in 1960. They never did it again. James Cameron, the film director, he went down in his submersible, the Deep Sea Challenger, in 2012, First solo dive to the bottom of the ocean.
Great respect to him, but he never dove again in that trench. And then we came along, and we did five dives to the bottom of the Mariana Trench in ten days. And then we did the rest of the oceans. And then we went back. And more than 20 people have been to the bottom of the ocean in the vessel that we built.
And Triton submarines who designed and built it were extraordinary. And so we built a tool that allowed for the first time to go anywhere on the seafloor repeatedly and safely that had not existed before.

The speaker argues that the LDS Church is the second largest private landowner in the US, with “2,300,000 acres. Tax free,” and holds “$300,000,000,000 in market assets,” predicting it will “hit a trillion in market assets in the next decade” “under the guise of a religious institution.” He says the church “registers their investment fund as an auxiliary,” and that “not a single dollar of that fund has ever gone to humanitarian purposes or even the church.” He cites loopholes: “the private jet can be registered as a house of worship in Texas, so you don't pay tax on the jets.” He describes farms and a “storehouse” and asserts “if you've given your full tithe, you're gonna get to enjoy the benefits of our storehouse” and “if you don't give your full tithe, you don't get to benefit,” including temple recommends. He references “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and give to God the things that are God's” and adds “Churches don't pay taxes.” He notes 1913 exemptions for “12,000 organizations,” the Salvation Army's 14 points, and “400,000 churches in The US” with “1,900,000 nonprofits” today.

Speaker 0: LDS Church is now the second largest private landowner in The US. You know, it's because, oh, there there are these pastors, you know, sexually abusing kids. No. It's because the whole system is broken. There were 300,000,000,000 and it's all for profit ventures registered as churches.
Wow. 300,000,000,000. 300,000,000,000 in market assets. The LDS church will hit a trillion in market assets in the next decade. The LDS church petitioned the IRS to add the term auxiliary in front of church in the sixties, and it was men's clubs back in the day.
So men would meet up, smoke cigars, you know, hang out, talk, and they're like, this is technically church, and so the IRS added this term auxiliary to their definition. Well there's no definition, black and white definition of what an auxiliary is. So if there's no definition anything can be an auxiliary. So the LDS church registers their investment fund as an auxiliary, which means that auxiliary is technically a church. It gets the same benefits that the church gets.
Flash forward twenty seven years, there were 300,000,000,000 and it's all for profit ventures registered as churches.
Speaker 1: Wow. 300,000,000,000.
Speaker 0: 300,000,000,000 in market assets. The LDS church will hit a trillion in market assets in the next decade, all under the guise of a religious institution. And the crazy part is not $1 of that now it's a hedge fund because they're hedging. That not a single dollar of that fund has ever gone to humanitarian purposes or even the church. So if you're a shrewd businessman, you start a church and you can do whatever you want.
And so you wonder why, oh, man, Christianity is getting a bad rap right now. You know, it's because, oh, there there are these pastors, you know, sexually abusing kids. No. It's because the whole system is broken, the legal system. So that's what needs to be reformed.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, we we see this all the time. I mean, pastors with runways behind their house Mhmm. Four private jets. I mean, I know it's insane.
Speaker 0: Well, the private jet can be registered as a house of worship in Texas, so you don't pay tax on the jets.
Speaker 1: It can be registered as what?
Speaker 0: As a house of worship because you pray on it. So a private jet, a $21,000,000 jet, can be taxed is tax free because it's a house of worship.
Speaker 1: Is that an auxiliary as well?
Speaker 0: Well, it's just an asset of the church, but it's it's a house of worship. It's part of it's your building, basically. The IRS sees it as your building.
Speaker 1: So with these loopholes, you could basically purchase just about any vehicle, any plane, any piece of real estate, any building.
Speaker 0: And a lot of times, so the LDS Church is now the second largest private landowner in The US. 2,300,000 acres. Tax free. All under the guise of religion and freedom of freedom of religion.
Speaker 1: And none of this goes to?
Speaker 0: They have farms. And this is where the LDS church is very interesting and we can get like, I really wanna dissect the LDS church with you. They have farms, and so they say, hey, we're building our storehouse. So this is this is Old Testament Torah. So we're gonna have goods and supplies in the storehouse, sufficient in God's storehouse, so they're quoting Malachi.
And if you've tithed to us, if you've given your full tithe, you're gonna get to enjoy the benefits of our storehouse if there's a natural disaster or if Jesus comes. So they're building their conglomerate, demanding you give 10% of your gross revenue to them, and then you'll be able to benefit from us if something happens. And here's the kicker, if you don't give your full tithe, you don't get to benefit.
Speaker 1: How do they know?
Speaker 0: Oh, they keep they look at your bank bank statements.
Speaker 1: They turn in their bank statements?
Speaker 0: Every year at the LDS church, you have to go in, and I can't remember what it's called, but it's a meeting with your bishop, and you have to discuss your finances, and he says, have you been a full tithe payer? And if you haven't, it's literally your docked. And if you're not a full tithe payer, you don't get your temple recommend. And if you don't have your temple recommend, you don't get to get to heaven with your family. So we've built these institutions, and I'm gonna give the benefit of the doubt here with good intentions, and they've become the middleman of God's resources.
And here's here's a question. Christ told to give to two things. Do you know what those two things are
Speaker 1: in the Bible?
Speaker 0: Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, so pay your taxes, and then give to God the things that are God's. Churches don't pay taxes, and then they've there and so this is Christ talking to you, Sean. Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and give to God the things that are God's. Well, church has moved right in the middle of you giving your resources to God and said, we'll disperse these for you. Christ never told you to give it to an institution.
He never go this is the big one too. He never told you to give it to the house of God. He never told you to give it to the temple because you are the temple.
Speaker 1: He told us to pay taxes? Yeah. I'm a little disappointed in that.
Speaker 0: Yeah. Well well well, because he said, I don't care about Caesar. Caesar's gonna come and go. Taxes are gonna go up and down. Don't care about worldly things.
He's literally saying just pay. Whatever he asks you, pay. Don't stress it. But this is an interesting conversation about, so why was tax exemption created in the first place? So in 1913, the government is looking at all these businesses out in The US and they say, there's about 12,000 organizations, 12,000 businesses building what what we call social capital.
So they're in their local communities because there's no TV, there's no Internet, you know, and there's no planes yet, so your world is what's really around you within your 40 mile range really. And so there's these 12,000 organizations building social capital and the idea of this is, even if Nathan doesn't have kids, I want the park down the street to be nice and safe for other people's kids. So raising social capital, local social capital means I'm helping my local community and driving what development economists called human call human flourishing. So what businesses in our community are raising the level of human flourishing? And that's what they defined as the nonprofits.
So they said there's these unique businesses that are strictly there to benefit the community. They're not after capital profits. They're really here for the benefit of the community, so we're gonna do this special carve out, and this is 1913, and we're gonna call it a nonprofit sector. 12,000 organizations, and this includes churches, got that exemption in in 1913. Today, there's 1,900,000 nonprofits.
So it's an explosion in the sector, and it's tied to technology. So every time a tech boom happens, the nonprofit sector explodes because people see it as a way to offload money because the the the the regulations are archaic. But so there's about 12,000 organizations. This includes religious exemptions. Flash forward a couple decades and the IRS has to in effect now define a church because churches are now saying, hey, we're nonprofit.
We're building local social capital, which they were and they and some are. Right? So it's we're helping the homeless. We're, you know, housing the unhoused, we're helping foster care, single mothers were really the backbone of our community which churches, which these institutions because remember the church is just the people, but the building itself was really for the community. They do community meals together, They were there for the community.
So the IRS in effect had to define a church so they could grant tax exemption. So this always blows people away. The IRS used one organization as the model to shove every religion into, and that one organization was the Salvation Army. So they looked at the Salvation Army. They said the Salvation Army is doing good things.
Let's go in, and they created 14 points and said, this is what the Salvation Army does, so this is what church is.
Speaker 1: What are those points?
Speaker 0: Every church, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, you name it, is tucked into that same 14 points. And it is you need a house of worship, so you need a physical location. You need a, basically a board of elders, someone to steer it. You need a creed or a form of worship. You need childcare so you can raise the next generation.
So when you look at churches today, it's they're based solely off these 14 points. So when you say it's not bad, it's not bad, but that's not church. It's literally just replicas of the Salvation Army. And then you apply a level of entrepreneurialism on top of that, and man, the sky's the limit, if that makes sense. And so now today, there's 400,000 churches in The US.

Speaker 0: You know, and David e Taylor got busted by the FBI yesterday. He says that if you talk negatively against him, God's gonna kill you. And if they don't hit their donation quota that they have to raise, they have to get on their knees and beg him for forgiveness.
Speaker 1: Are you serious?
Speaker 0: Yeah. He owns a Bentley, Rolls Royce, all in the name of Jesus. $8,300,000, 28,000 square feet was raided by the FBI. You know, and David e Taylor got busted by the FBI yesterday. You know, it's the Is this the guy in Dallas?
He's in Houston.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Houston. Yeah. What happened there?
Speaker 0: What's up?
Speaker 1: I'll let you finish.
Speaker 0: Oh, yeah. I'm just saying the whole system is is corrupting, and it's because of the religious economic theory. We're pitting churches against each other, vying for consumers with no external accountability, and it just creates the Wild West, and anything goes in the name of Jesus. And Dan Bramer, who's one of the smartest men I've ever sat with, philosopher and theologian, he goes, no one believes something that's stupid, Nathan. And so Kenneth Copeland, who his boys wave, you know, wave their guns and their fake badges at me, like, he believes what he's doing, and he believes he is spreading the gospel.
Joel Osteen believes it. Ed Young, who had me arrested and roughed up, believes it. My brother-in-law, who's dying, believes it. And so I don't blame any of these guys. And and the system, yes, it's it we live in a capitalist society where things cost money, but we have to be able to separate the church from the building, the true church, the ecclesia, and say this needs to be regulated.
And right now, it's unregulated in the name of separation of church and state.
Speaker 1: What happened in Houston? That's because this was this was yesterday?
Speaker 0: Yesterday. Yeah. So there's an apostle named David e Taylor, loud outgoing guy. You know, he says that if you talk negatively against him, God's gonna kill you. You know, he's he's that type of preacher.
And he prays off the most vulnerable. He's raised $50,000,000 in about the last decade, and because there's no accountability, he can do what he wants. His home in Tampa, Florida, his parsonage, So this is a home paid for by donors, $8,300,000, 28,000 square feet was raided by the FBI. He has about 28,000,000 in real estate. So he's taking money from the most vulnerable who Christ is there to protect Mhmm.
Technically Mhmm. And he's inuring himself and just building his portfolio. He owns a Bentley, Rolls Royce, all in the name of Jesus. He's got people working for free at call centers till 4AM, and if they don't hit their donation quota that they have to raise, they have to get on their knees and beg him for forgiveness.
Speaker 1: Are you serious? Yeah. All in name of Jesus. Beg him for forgiveness?
Speaker 0: Because he's anointed, Sean. And so the system, like I said, when you when you take the business in the true church and blend it, it's it's a disease, because Christ's message is antithetical to legal systems. He was like he was a counterculturalist, you know. He didn't like, and here's what I love because we were seeing this we call it the death rattle in the show. We're seeing this happening in Washington right now.
Church and state are colliding. So if Christ really wanted to transform the world through politics, he would have marched straight to Caesar and be like, I demand a meeting with Caesar.
Speaker 1: Mhmm.
Speaker 0: He could care less about Caesar. He said, don't care about your politics and your games. You do you guys deal with that. I have to deal with the heart. And and so we have to so we have the ecclesia here who's deal this is to deal with the heart.
And then we have the business. The business is not inherently bad, but you have to call it a business. And right now, no one calls it a business because it's been infected, and we call this the church. I'm going to church. You don't go to church.
You, Sean, are the church.
Speaker 1: Are the church.
Speaker 0: And then whatever that is, as it morphs and changes throughout the decades in history, sure. That's a place where we can meet and enjoy the donuts and coffee and listen to cool music, and that's not inherently bad, But that is a business and oftentimes a multi million dollar business that's run with zero accountability. So you got to call a spade a spade.
Speaker 1: Mhmm. You know? Mhmm. Do you have a percentage of is this all churches, or is this is there So specific ones that stick out to you? Is there is there a happy medium?
Speaker 0: All of them play by the same rule book. And when you have a rule book with no accountability, and all the power silos at the top, just like most every pastor will be eaten by the system, every institution, every business will be eaten by that system, and that's why reform has to happen within the business itself. And so we're we're begging people to actually deepen their faith and deepen their giving while bringing reform to the the machine that we've built. Mhmm. And this isn't inherently bad, but it's corrupted and dark.
It's the it's the darkest business entity you can start in The US. We've talked with ex mafiosos who spent decades in prison and they say, Nathan, I wouldn't join the mafia today, I'd start a church. Because it's the most dark place you can it's the darkest place
Speaker 1: you can play. Wow. Yeah. Why did this guy's 28,000 square foot home in Tampa get raided by the FBI?
Speaker 0: Enough people so this is where you can finally this is the the the little sliver of hope is if enough people complain to the IRS or the FBI, they will open an investigation and our good friends, our PIs that worked on the religion business at the Trinity Foundation out of Dallas, they'd in 2018 put together a massive packet and sent it to the IRS and said, hey, you guys have to look at this scammer, like he's just ripping people off. And this is the problem is it took six years, six and a half years for the IRS and then the FBI to finally go, this is a total POS, like he needs to go. But but there's people who have disappeared going to his church. Missing person reports. And we see this across The US too.
These apostles will find vulnerable people, will tell them to move across the country and come work for them, and eventually they disappear into trafficking rings.
Speaker 1: I mean, do you have proof that that's that is the
Speaker 0: We've got missing persons reports and you just never find them again. Their cars will be in parking lots.
Speaker 1: I get that, I get that. What I'm asking is do you have proof that it was the church that did it? Mean, we're talking about vulnerable people, vulnerable people. Those are people that are in poverty, many of them addicted to drugs. You know what that leads to?
That leads to do me sexual favors and I'll give you drugs, then it turns into I'm your pimp, I'll give you drugs. I mean that could be totally outside the church. Mean there's a lot of things that happen to the most vulnerable because of the situations that they're in. That doesn't necessarily mean that the pastor sold them into trafficking, unless you have proof. Do you have proof?
Speaker 0: I don't have proof of that. Well, I'd have to talk to our PIs, but, you know, those are those are firsthand accounts. Mhmm. But I'll tell you right now, there's a church in Arizona that literally has a tunnel that goes from the church under the border to Mexico. What?
Speaker 1: What church is that?
Speaker 0: I'm not gonna say. But there is there is that's how corrupt some of these institutions are.
Speaker 1: Why don't you wanna say?
Speaker 0: Because I that's for another story. We're we're developing that story right now. But there is, you can use the name of God to do horrific things, and that doesn't mean the God that God, Christ, is corrupt. It means man is leveraging his name to do awful things. Mhmm.
And we can look through history on that one, you know? And then let me rephrase that too. Man can also use the name of Christ to do amazing things.
Speaker 1: Mhmm.
Speaker 0: But right now, that the architecture of the system is so dark that it just creates a a a so there's a book called, The Wisdom of Psychopaths, and it talks about psychopathic tendencies. And it's a character type. You know, it's a clinical diagnosis, and you can either end up in jail for mass murder or you can be the CEO of some billion dollar hedge fund. Like, that there's just a a mental type that they classify as psychopaths. One of the top five jobs for psychopaths today is clergy, to become a pastor.
Speaker 1: Are you serious?
Speaker 0: Because it's unlimited authority or potentially unlimited authority, it's power, it's dominion over people, and that's the character type of a psychopath is attracted to jobs like that.

“I saw Sean Combs look into the camera and say, I own your kids, I own their souls. And I thought, really? You try that on my kids and I’ll kill you in the front yard. So I wrote ‘The Righteous Hunter.’" @johnrich https://t.co/fihHN49hYK

On the show, Speaker 1 recalls a video of Sean Combs saying, "I own your kids. I own their souls. I'm gonna take your souls. We have the power. You try that on my kids, and I'll kill you in the front yard." He notes Trump's call for the death penalty for child abuse and says it inspired his song "The Righteous Hunter." The lyric includes "you come from my kids, and you're gonna die" and "Better give your soul to Jesus while I get my gun." He argues preachers aren't speaking out and asserts, "I can't go out and round up three point two million pedophiles in The United States." He cites "The US is the top country that uses, we have the most sexual exploitation cases, kiddie porn, all of that stuff. We are the world leader in it." and imagines you as the dad in the video.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: And I can see you around the corner, and I know you come if you had any sense you've run. But you ain't got a clue what a daddy will do. Better give your soul to Jesus while I get my gun.
Speaker 1: Because I saw a video clip of Sean Combs on camera on an award show somewhere, and he looked right into the camera with all the spotlights going on, and he said, I own your kids. I own their souls. I'm gonna take your souls. We have the power. You try that on my kids, and I'll kill you in the front yard.
Now I've seen Trump say anybody that sexually abuses a child should receive the death penalty.
Speaker 2: Our country's crumbling.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: That is amazing. I think that's gonna be the biggest thing you've ever done.
Speaker 1: Well, I've got a song that's been written now for about six months called The Righteous Hunter. This happened because I saw a video clip of Sean Combs on camera on an award show somewhere, and he looked right into the camera with all the spotlights going on, and he said, I own your kids. I own their souls. And he's looking at it and goes, I own their souls. I determine what they listen to.
I determine what clothes they wear. I own their souls. He
Speaker 2: said that?
Speaker 1: Yes, he did. I'll send you the clip. And you're looking right at the devil. I mean, his eyes are just like and I saw that and went, oh, is that right? Is that right, Diddy?
You own my kids' souls, And I thought to myself, is anybody gonna say something about that? Anybody in the news? Any any preachers? Hello. Any any of the big preachers?
Joel Osteen, where you at? Anybody gonna stand up and say, hey. You're a child of the devil and you don't own any you don't own any of our kids' souls. And I hope God takes you to hell sooner than later. Is anybody gonna say that?
No? No? Just gonna roll on down the road? Well, buy my book. Buy my book.
Put more money in the plate. No. No preachers. No preachers calling that out. And it made me so furious to hear him say that.
I go, so music is his weapon of choice? Well, me too, big boy. And I ain't I ain't near as well known as Sean Combs, not by a long stretch. But my daddy can beat up his daddy. And it ain't even a fair fight.
It ain't even a fight. And so that led to a song called The Righteous Hunter. And I started thinking about, and I would ask you to think about this, and every dad or mother watching this right now, is there anything you would not do to keep another adult from putting their hands on your kids? Anything out of bounds? Nothing.
Right. But their arrogance and their level of wickedness and devoutness to their father has got them to a point where they'll just stand right out there in broad daylight and tell you, I own your kid's souls and there's nothing you can do about it. So that led to the writing of a song that has a lyric that is, it hits so hard I haven't put it out. Put it to you that way. Haven't put it out yet.
I gotta figure out what the video is to this song. And matter of fact, when I wrote it, I was thinking about it's talking from a dad's perspective. I thought, who would be a good dad in the video The Righteous Honor? And you know who came to mind? You.
You came to mind. Came to mind. You popped in my head. I went, he's a dad, he's a Christian, and he's a lethal individual if you mess with his family. I went, but I haven't released it.
So we can talk about that at some other time. But I think you would be absolutely colossal as the dad in a video like that.
Speaker 2: Well, that's an honor to hear you say that. Thank you.
Speaker 1: See that look on your face right now? That's the look.
Speaker 2: Well, actually
Speaker 1: Then I don't think they understand. I don't think the people that talk about our kids like that and that do horrible things to kids, I don't think they have any touchstone whatsoever to what an actual mom or dad that loves their kids will do to them. And you know why I don't think they have a touchstone to that reality? Because they hate kids. They try to kill them all before they're born, that's number one.
If they are born, they try to co op them, twist them, break them, move them, abuse them, sexualize them, whatever they do. That is their way of hurting God. When Jesus Christ said, this is what I love the most, these these children, how then how can they hurt Jesus the most? How can the devil inflict the most pain possible? How can he make Jesus cry the most?
Hurt the kids. That's why they're doing it. Damn. That's why they're doing it. And so here we are in our little short lifespans watching this go down, and we know one from the other.
What are we supposed to do about it? Well, I can't go out and round up three point two million pedophiles in The United States. But I can write a song that hopefully parents hear that and go, you know what, that's exactly how I feel. And they start to bow up and stiffen their backs up a little bit and go, yeah. Come on and try it one time.
Like, parents need to be coming out in full force against this stuff and go, you try that on my kids, and I'll kill you in the front yard. Now I've seen Trump say anybody that sexually abuses a child should receive the death penalty. And he said that in the campaign, that he was gonna make that a federal statute that they received the death penalty. It hadn't happened yet, But it should.
Speaker 2: Yes, it should have happened a long time ago. Should have always been though.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I know that's a heavy subject but we're surrounded with it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we
Speaker 1: are. It's everywhere. And a lot of times it's people you never suspect. It might be that preacher that didn't seem quite right. It might be that school teacher that's that sheriff, that judge, that whoever.
I mean, lot of times it's people in places of authority that are running these things. That have this cover of a life that seemed like, well, person would never do that. It's not the scuzz bucket guy you see sitting on the sidewalk most of the time.
Speaker 2: The US is the top country that uses, we have the most sexual exploitation cases, kiddie porn, all of that stuff. We are the world leader in it.
Speaker 1: And you think he ain't gonna smack us over that? You think he's just gonna let us
Speaker 2: I think he's already smacking us over that. I think that's some of
Speaker 1: He what may this be is getting to.
Speaker 2: Our country's crumbling. It's divided in just about every subject that you can bring up. Politics, race, gender, everything. Yeah. Religion.
Divide it, divide that. We're in a bad spot.
Speaker 1: Subsets of subsets of subsets. Has anybody ever sang a song on your show before? No. I brought a guitar. If I could be so bold.
I would love it. Because I've never sang The Righteous Hunter to anybody other than family members and people that are around me that I know well. But I've never sat on a camera and ever sang this song. It's not out, you can't download it, there's no nothing. But I would be really curious what your audience especially would think of this song.
And I ain't got no band or nothing, do you mind if I play it, I would like to play it. I'd be honored. Okay, cool.
Speaker 2: Let's do it. You wanna hear it?
Speaker 1: Yes. It's called The Righteous Hunter.
Speaker 0: Or hell is all they'll pay. Because I can see you around the corner and I know you'd come if you had any sense you'd run. But you ain't got a clue what a daddy will do. Better give your soul to Jesus while I get my gun. You better give your soul to Jesus while I get my gun.
We try to steal away our sons and daughters, shrouded in the shadow of night. But we fight with the heavenly father. And we ain't scared to die. And I can see you around the corner. And I know you'd come if you had any sense you'd run.
But you ain't got a clue what a daddy will do. Better give your soul to Jesus while I get my gun. Better give your soul to Jesus while I get my gun. Recall the words that Jesus said better off with millstones around their necks and we pray. Not our will but thine be done bringing it to the reign of the wicked one this we claim in your name.
And I can see you around the corner, and I know you'd come if you had any sense you'd run. But you ain't got a clue what a daddy will do. Better give your soul to Jesus while I get my gun. Better give your soul to Jesus while I get my gun.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: That is amazing. You know what I think? What do you think? I think that's going be the biggest thing you've ever done.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Congratulations. Well, it's unreleased. It's just in my head and now on your show. But I would like to hear what people think about that because just hearing what you have to say about it means something, you know, you sit on a song like that banging around in your own head going, do I need to put that out or not?
And if so, when and how and all of that. You don't write that song twice. You know, that's a one shot. I've never heard a song written about what's happening to our kids or what parents would actually do to somebody that tried to an actual real mom or dad. But I I think it needs to be said.
I think the bad guys need to need to know where we stand with them. That's really what my problem is, is that nobody has clearly enough stated to them, You come from my kids, and you're gonna die. And that's it. They shouldn't be able to walk out on stage and say, I own your kids' souls, and we just walk on by. Right?
Forget about even being an American for a minute. What about just being a dad or a mom? We let people talk like that about our kids with no rebuttal? No. I don't and you don't.
And I bet there's millions of, I know there's tens of millions of us that won't. So, yeah, that's what that song is. If you wanna be the dad in the video, man, can you imagine that song and you're in your house and they're trying to find your kid and you're praying all night long? Those are the kind of things, Sean, I am grateful that God took away my record deals, my publishing deals, that he cut my arms and legs and almost cut my head off so he could rebuild me without my former attachments and problems and habits and alliances and loyalties and all of that, and rebuild me without those things but with the same skill set intact, which is what I just did for you right there, and be able to go out here with however many years I got left in my life to cause as much utter damage as I possibly can to the wicked people in this world.

TVA arrived with an overwhelming show of force, reminiscent of a raid, confronting an elderly woman with dementia. In a brief moment of clarity, she declared that no one truly owns anything. I then warned them to leave Cheatham County in two weeks, or I'd write a song that would link their name to the devil.

“TVA showed up like an ATF raid on an 88-year-old woman with dementia—ten vehicles, guns, bulletproof vests. She snapped out of it for ten seconds and looked into the camera and said, You think you own something? You don’t own nothing. That’s when I said, you’ve got two weeks to get out of Cheatham County or I’ll write a song that makes millions of Americans sing your name next to the devil.” @johnrich

Recounting a TVA action in Cheatham County: 10+ vehicles, bulletproof vests, guns, and entry onto an 88-year-old dementia patient’s century farm, where Mrs. Nicholson tells the camera, 'You think you own something? You don't own nothing.' Attorneys say TVA 'never lost a battle against citizens in court.' Clips go viral on X, drawing attention from USDA Secretary Rollins ('On it'). A TVA rep is confronted; speaker declares, 'You got two weeks to get out of Cheatham County.' He warns of calling President Trump. TVA abandons the project after White House involvement; posts claim it is abandoned 'due to listening to our customers in Cheatham County.' He threatens to rebrand the TVA to The United States Of America. The song 'The Devil and the TVA' borrows Mrs. Nicholson’s line and proclaims, 'The devil ain't got nothing on the TVA.' Additional efforts target Humphreys County with TVA land.

Speaker 0: I counted at least 10 vehicles. It looked like an ATF raid. As you think you own something, you don't own nothing. You think you own something, you don't own nothing. And they were right.
The attorneys that I talked to said TVA's never lost a battle against citizens in court ever. How much farmland? I said it's little over 6,000 acres. 6,000 acres? That it was gonna tear up.
We're all good around here. Like that's how he talks. And then I showed him president Trump's number. Maybe we should call him right now. Let's just call him right now.
Have you heard what TVA is doing around here in Cheatham County? I said, no. What are they doing? He said, they're wanting to drop a 900 megawatt methane gas plant with 10 acres of lithium battery storage. And he told me the address.
I said, do what? They're putting it there? He goes, yeah. I said, how many houses are over there? He said, about 500.
He said, and also five schools are within five miles of this place, and also it's right on top of the main water supply for Ashton City and Pleasant View, Tennessee. I said, how can they do that? He goes, I don't know, but they're doing it. Like, they're taking people's land. They're showing up, like, they're showing up full force.
I said, Okay, let me dig into this. So I started digging around and I find one of the locals there who was dealing with them. And sure enough, this lady is next door neighbors to this really old lady named Mrs. Nicholson. She's about 88 years old and has dementia, and she lives on a family farm that's been in their family for more than a century.
So they refer to that as a century farm. And the lady that ran over there when TVA showed up grabbed her GoPro, her camera, and filmed the TVA marching across this woman's field, walking up into her yard. I counted at least 10 vehicles. It looked like an ATF raid. And here's these guys standing out there all tough with their bulletproof vests and their loaded guns standing there, and this guy's going, now we're gonna have to come on your property now.
And the old lady looks into the camera and says, you think you own something? You don't know nothing. She snapped out of her dementia for about ten seconds and said that into the camera. Well, this lady I found and was talking to showed me that footage, and I'm telling you, my blood ran cold. It ran like ice.
I got so mad that in America this can happen. And when I saw that old lady, thought about my granny rich because she kinda had that look, that country worn, hard working old lady look. And I said, well, wonder if we could shove them out of this county. They go, you don't shove TVA out of nothing. And they were right.
The attorneys that I talked to said TVA's never lost a battle against citizens in court ever.
Speaker 1: We'll roll that clip right now.
Speaker 0: Yeah. They don't they don't lose. I said, well, let's see how they deal with public shame and humiliation and scrutiny. She goes, what are you gonna do? I said, can you introduce me to some of these other neighbors that have experienced this?
She goes, yeah. George Wade's right down the road. I said, Great, I'll go grab my iPhone and my selfie stick. And so I did. Went out and met Mr.
Wade and his wife, he's close to 80 years old, and he looks like Wilford Brimley but with red hair. Remember Wilford Brimley? No. Big old he looks like a walrus, like just gruff looking guy. I sat down with mister Wade, turned that thing on, and let him tell the story.
And then I started commenting, and I posted that on X, just on my X channel there, and in three days, it had, like, 4,000,000 views just on that. I went, oh, okay. And I'm tagging TVA and and everything. I'm gonna go do another interview. So I went out and interviewed another person, then I interviewed another one, and then another one, and then I interviewed the mayor of the county, and then I interviewed the mayor of Pleasant View, Tennessee, and I start posting these videos.
Local news starts picking up on it. Next thing you know, I get an unknown caller coming in on my phone, and I answer it, and it is Secretary Rollins, head of the USDA, Department of Agriculture. I'm like, well, hello. She goes, I hope you don't mind. I got your number from somebody else.
I said, that's fine. She said, let me ask you something. I'm watching this TVA fight. How much farmland is involved with this? Is there running pipelines, transmission lines?
I said, yes, ma'am. How much farmland? I said, it's a little over 6,000 acres. 6,000 acres? That it was gonna tear up.
She goes, yeah, that's not that's not okay. She said, tell you what, let me let me dig into this further. Well, the next day, you see her commenting on one of my ex posts. On it, she just puts all caps, On it, secrollins. I said, okay, well that got everybody.
That got local news, local radio, everybody's talking about it. And then I get a visit from the senior vice president of government relations for the TVA. So he's the mouthpiece for the TVA. He's a good old country boy. Talks like this, Sean.
Now you know we're we're all good around here. Like that's how he talks. Came to my house. I knew he was coming. I said, bring him.
Let's go. I can't wait to talk to this guy. So I sat him down there at my house right where you were not long ago when we first met. And I looked at him and I said, explain to me why in America you can bring bulletproof vests and guns and 10 to 12 vehicles on an old lady's property and demand access to her century old farm when you don't have a warrant or probable cause. That's my first question for you.
Now, John, I mean, we we do have a force out there because sometimes, as you can imagine, we run into resistance. So I said, oh, bet you do run into resistance. I bet you do. And, you know, you just never know. So we gotta make sure we're protected.
I said, well, I tell you what, you've got two weeks to get
Speaker 1: out of Cheatham County. From an 88 year old woman. Yeah. I said, got two weeks With dementia.
Speaker 0: You got two weeks to get out of Cheatham County. I said, or I'm going to rebrand the TVA to The United States Of America. I'm gonna rebrand you to what you actually are. And I said, every time your name is googled for the next twenty years, TVA, horrible press is gonna come up on the TVA. Page after page after page.
You will never get out from under it. You got two weeks. And I said, and at the end of the day, if if we can't push you out on our own, I'll have to call this number. And then I showed him president Trump's number because that's who you answer to. I said, do you think president Trump would say to you or anybody else at the TVA if I showed him the video of you on that old lady's property with guns and bulletproof vests demanding access with no warrant, no probable cause.
What do you think president would say? You think he'd fire every last one of you starting with you? I think he probably would. Maybe we should call him right now. Let's just call him right now.
He won't I said, oh, I bet. I said, you got two weeks. And then he left.
Speaker 1: They left?
Speaker 0: He he left no. He left my house. He left my house. Two weeks tricked by lawsuits coming in left and right on all these farmers, all these old people, all these just seventy, eighty lawsuits. Half the people being sued didn't even have enough income to provide counsel for themselves.
So they were walking into the courtroom with no attorney against a $500,000 a year retained attorney for the TVA, trying to argue their case, just slaughtering these people. I said, Okay, well, that's it. I'm going to have to write a song about it. And I told him I would. I said, If you don't get out of Cheatham County in two weeks, his name's Justin Meierhofer.
I said, Justin, if you're not out of Cheatham County in two weeks, I'm gonna write a song, and I'm gonna put it out, and I'm gonna have millions of Americans singing TVA next to the word devil. I'm gonna have millions of people comparing you to the devil in a song and video. I don't think he believed I'd do it. I think he thought, oh, John will be on tour. He'll get busy.
He'll forget whatever. Uh-uh. Two weeks clicked by. They didn't get out. Lawsuits keep piling up.
They're charging forward. So I wrote the song, went in the studio and recorded it, shot the video to it, went out in that neighborhood of those farms, shot it on those farms where that dirt was in it. It's so beautiful out there, where it was all gonna take place. And as I'm working on all that, I get a text from the president of The United States. And he says, basically, We're killing the project.
The project's not going to happen. Then Secretary Rawlins, The project's not going to happen. So I'm seeing these texts, and I went, Okay, when's TVA going to say the project's not happening? The very next day they put out a post on X and says, due to listening to our customers in Cheatham County, we've heard you and we're abandoning the project in Cheatham County, looking for a more suitable place to put it. And what really happened is the president of The United States and Brooke Rollins kicked their ass, is what happened.
And so this week, that song hits. It's called The Devil and the TVA. And the song was inspired by Mrs. Nicholson's statement of, You think you own something, but you don't own nothing. I took what she said, and that's the first line of the chorus.
Man. You think you own something, but you don't own nothing. When the government man comes around, puts his dirty old boots on your ground and laughs at your protest with a gun and a bulletproof vest, he don't care what you have to say, he's just gonna do it anyway. And he'll smile and grin and then take your farm away. He'll tear it all to hell right in your face.
Now the devil ain't got nothing on the TVA. That's the chorus. So anybody watching that wants to go check that one out, go get it.
Speaker 1: We'll put it on.
Speaker 0: Go get it. It is a populist song that unfortunately too many Americans have had to survive and some of them didn't, this onslaught of the TVA. I find them to be unconstitutional. I wish something would happen.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's more to this too. Because if I remember correctly, you reached out to a mayor in another part of Tennessee that had an abandoned power plant or something, right?
Speaker 0: Yeah. So in West Tennessee, as I start this
Speaker 1: With the already
Speaker 0: Right. So as I start popping TVA in the nose over and over and everybody's seeing this, I start getting phone calls from people I've never met. And one guy goes, hey, About ninety minutes from here, in Humphreys County, there is over a square mile of land that's already owned by the TVA that already has pipelines running under it, transmission lines running over it. It used to be a giant coal plant there that Obama tore down. Obama tore it down, and they never put anything there.
Then they don't have to touch Cheatham County. Please come back to our county. We lost so many jobs when that thing went away. We lost our grocery stores. We had to consolidate our schools.
Gas stations just gutted our county. You tell TVA we'd welcome them back with open arms, and I did tell them that, and they didn't care. And so I told Brooke Rollins about that, and she said, You know what? You need to speak to the energy department. So put me on an interview with the energy department, with the mayors of those two rural counties, and now they're talking, and I think they're probably gonna get TVA to develop something out there.
Trump wants power. You got places to put it. But TVA has stood in the way. They'd rather tear up brand new ground than use ground they've already got, which begs the question, why? They won't answer that question.
But again, it's one of those things that if, guess if I ain't going to stand up and do it, it ain't going to happen. I mean the neighbors are screaming bloody murder, but they don't have a platform where anybody can hear them screaming. You've run across lots of situations like that. You've got a big platform. You got them to stop spending money on the Taliban.
Mhmm.
Speaker 1: Right? We're close. You're close. Still sitting on the Senate floor.
Speaker 0: I mean, so I think you and I have that in common. We we see something and we're like, can't believe I'm the guy that's I can't believe I'm the guy that's gonna swing at him, but here we go.

During the Cold War, Russia developed the Dead Hand system out of fear of a preemptive nuclear strike by the United States. This system utilized ground sensors to detect nuclear explosions on Russian territory. If communication with the nuclear command was lost, indicating a potential attack, the Dead Hand would automatically launch all remaining Russian nuclear weapons—around 30,000 at the time—without any human intervention. This mechanism underscored the extreme paranoia and the lengths to which Russia went to ensure its retaliatory capabilities.

Video Transcript AI Summary
During the Cold War, Russia, paranoid about a preemptive US nuclear attack, created the "Dead Hand" (Perimeter) system. This system used ground sensors to detect nuclear strikes on Russian soil. If nuclear command and control was disabled, the system would automatically launch Russia's remaining nuclear weapons, deterring a first strike. Some defense circles believe Russia still maintains this system, raising concerns about AI integration.
In a hypothetical scenario, after confirmation of an incoming ICBM to Washington, the Secret Service would move the President, despite objections, prioritizing safety over protocol. An EMP from the blast could affect Marine One, necessitating parachutes for a jump. Simultaneously, a North Korean sub-launched ballistic missile strikes a nuclear power plant in California, a "devil scenario." Striking a nuclear power plant with a nuclear weapon would cause a nuclear core materials meltdown, rendering the land uninhabitable as far as Colorado, violating international rules of war. Russia's actions around the Zaporizhzhia plant in Ukraine highlight this danger.

Speaker 0: Russia was so paranoid that The United States was going to launch a preemptive nuclear attack against it during the Cold War that it created a dead hand system. What is that? Okay. It would launch all of them without even needing a hand to push the button, hence the name the dead hand. Another example of how paranoid Russia has been for decades is its system that it created called the dead hand.
Okay? It's the literal name of it is perimeter. This perimeter system, dead hand, was originally reported by a Washington Post reporter named David Hoffman like in 1999 when he first learned about it, right after the wall had gone down, before we were back to this nuclear threat posturing. But the way the dead hand works is like this. Russia was so paranoid that The United States was going to launch a preemptive nuclear attack against it during the Cold War that it created a dead hand system.
What is that? It's kind of like it sounds. They created a system whereby ground sensors would be able to determine nuclear weapons hitting, nuclear bombs hitting the Russian soil. And if they weren't hearing from the nuclear command and control, so the idea being that the nuclear command and control had been taken out in this preemptive nuclear strike, the dead hand system would launch all of Russia's remaining nuclear weapons, which were like 30,000 at the time, okay? We'd launch all of them without even needing a hand to push the button, hence the name the dead hand.
So it set up a system to launch no matter what, even if we're all dead. And the idea behind it is kind of part of deterrence. Like don't you dare launch at us or even our own dead hand will get you. And so when you think about that, you realize there's a long history of suspicion in Russia. And even more terrifying is I have heard in defense circles, and I haven't been able to confirm it, but I've heard that even now the US Defense Department is thinking of creating some kind of a dead hand equivalent because allegedly Russia never got rid of that system.
That's where AI would become a real problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great point. That is a great point.
Speaker 0: The dead AI hand.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a great point. Let's keep with the, let's go back into what life looks like. Okay. So we, it sounds like, excuse me if I'm mistaken, it sounds like immediate devastation is about 10 mile radius. A 100 miles, you're going to feel effects.
Speaker 0: What
Speaker 1: happens after that?
Speaker 0: So in the scenario, I have the president making this decision. The six minute window is upon him. They're waiting for minute eight, nine to have the secondary ground confirmation from the ground radar systems. That happens. Sir, it's confirmed.
The ICBM is coming to Washington. Then I have a situation unfold between the Secret Service and nuclear command and control based on interviews I did with Secret Service. Once I realized, wait a minute, the Secret Service's job is to protect the president. As soon as the Secret Service learns, the special agent in charge, the SAC in charge of the president learns that there's a missile coming at Washington, he's moving the president. Period.
Non negotiable. The Secret Service has an element, a cat team, counter assault team. They're kind of like the president's version of ground branch in essence. A lot of guys go back and forth. So the counter assault team gets called in by the SAC.
Within the counter assault team there's an even tinier group called the Element. An Element is a three man team. A three man team is now going to move the president on Air Force One out of the White Hall, out of the White House, back off. So it's a standoff. Who do you think is going to win?
Who has better equipment?
Speaker 1: We do.
Speaker 0: The CAT team wins. They move the president, much to the chagrin of the stratcom commander and everybody else who wants that order. While they are moving the president, and there's a problem, because I learned that getting a little into the weeds here, but I'm going there's an EMP which will happen with any nuclear. You're familiar with that? Marine One is EMP proven.
For listeners, it's an electromagnetic pulse that could very easily fry the electronic system on Marine One causing it to crash. So the sack needs to make sure there are parachutes that can tandem jump the president. They're not in Marine One, a detail I learned. They probably are now, but they weren't then. So the element has to swing by the White House office, grab the parachutes.
They need one for the mill aid, one for the guy who's going to jump the president, and one for the sack. They get them, they get into Marine One. It's a while that is happening, I have in the scenario a second ballistic missile strikes a nuclear power plant in California. A sub launched ballistic missile. Now, I had Ted Postal, I'm pointing to this, and Richard Garwin discuss with me whether or not it was plausible, whether or not North Korea can actually get a submarine up to the West Coast Of The United States, because we know China and Russia can.
That's a fact. You'll learn that later in the book. Can North Korea? Ted Postal believes that they can. Garwin says he doesn't think they can yet.
I wanted to have that kind of a debate available for readers to think about. You just don't know until you know. I take you through the technology of why Postal thinks it's possible. They launched the North Korean sub launch ballistic missile fires from a couple 100 miles off the West Coast. That takes less than ten minutes.
It's like six minutes or something. While the President is deciding whether or not he's going to give this counter launch and the secret service is moving him, the power plant is hit. The reason I chose the nuclear power plant to be hit is because it's what's called the devil scenario. It's worst. It's the worst of the worst worst case scenario.
And I won't get too into the weeds about what happens.
Speaker 1: Why not?
Speaker 0: I want you to read the book.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 0: But no, I shouldn't say it like that. What I mean is the details, if you're me, you almost can't like tell the details in like a thirty second version because it's so profound what happens and it's so terrifying. And people would say that they would never do that. Well, there's actually a rule. It's called rule 42 in the International Committee for the Red Cross that says you must never strike nuclear power plant.
That's even with kinetic weapons. We're not talking about nuclear weapons. And so when I was doing this scenario, people you know, that were sort of mentors, Are you sure you want to do that? I mean, that's against the rules. It was like, Well, that's the point.
There are no rules if you're going to play nuclear war. And then, this is before the Ukraine war unfolded. And so when Russia Russia has now exploded weapons around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine eight or nine times they have been on backup generator. That's one step away from losing power. That's one step away from a nuclear core materials meltdown.
If you strike a nuclear power plant directly with a nuclear weapon, you will have a nuclear core materials meltdown. The land will be uninhabited all the way to Colorado.

“The first thing that an authoritarian regime does when it wants to take over society is that it ruthlessly destroys the family.” @KTmBoyle https://t.co/ZkGKiYJJ0q
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker believes authoritarian regimes attack the family to weaken institutions that could combat the state. They see history as a war between the family and the state, referencing Plato's Republic. A concerted attack on the family has occurred in the last 50 years through legal, educational, and medical systems, evidenced by declining birth rates.
Two events in 1973, Nixon ending the draft and Roe v Wade, altered Americans' views of themselves. Ending the draft implied men's purpose wasn't to defend their country, while Roe v Wade implied women's purpose wasn't to have children. This created a nihilistic culture lacking purpose, leading to inward focus and individualism.
The speaker argues the "war on suffering" has been won, with legal and medical systems reinforcing this belief. Examples include the opioid epidemic and ADHD medication. This opposition to suffering removes human nature and resilience, leading to a confused generation. The speaker suggests people are confused about finding purpose outside societal expectations like marriage, family, or community involvement, leading to them getting lost.

Speaker 0: The first thing that an authoritarian regime does when it wants to take over a society is it it ruthlessly destroys the family.
Speaker 1: You think every man should have to serve the country.
Speaker 0: You have an entire generation of young people who are no longer resilient. In 1973, there were two things that that radically changed how Americans view themselves, how how how men and women view themselves. I see kind of all of history as a war between the family and the state.
Speaker 1: What do you mean by that? The attack on the American family?
Speaker 0: Yeah. No. It's a I I I wrote a speech that I gave a couple months ago where I I really started talking about how I I see kind of all of history as a war between the family and the state. These two big institutions. One one is, you know, and it it's it goes back to to to Plato.
It goes back to like the republic, the Greeks, right, where the entire, you know, philosophy of the republic is that perhaps the state can take better care of of a society than these institutional families. And so when you look at sort of you go back through history and you see that especially authoritarian regimes. The first thing that an authoritarian regime does when it wants to take over a society is it it ruthlessly destroys the family. So you mentioned the one child policy in China. That was an attack, a deliberate attack on the family from an authoritarian regime.
And the purpose of it was, you know, it was for national interest. They talk about, oh, we we couldn't, you know, we wouldn't be able to supply enough people with food. But what it really was was to weaken the only institution that can ever combat the state, which is the family. And so I'm a pretty conspiratorial person. I think there's been a concerted attack on the family to strengthen the state, particularly for the last fifty years.
But it's been done in very specific ways, in legal ways, through the education system, through the medical system, and it is deliberately destroyed. And you see it through the birth rate like we talked about in the beginning. Fewer and fewer people want to have families, and and it's because of this deliberate attack on the family. And I wrote this piece called The War on Suffering, where I I've I've been very vocal about the fact that I think everything in America changed in 1973. Everyone always put there there's this website called WTF happened in 1971.
And it points to that's when we came off the gold standard. That's when, you know, regulations started exploding in America. What happened in this year where, you know, everything bad in America started like from this from this moment where you just see just complete change in in a lot of things around America. And I've always said that that might have been the economic change that happened in America where financialization started and where, you know, housing became so expensive, where it became ridiculously expensive to afford health care or education. But in 1973, there were two things that that radically changed how Americans view themselves, how how how men and women view themselves.
And ultimately, what I think is is sort of the the impetus and start of this sort of unraveling of the family. And I've I've said this a lot publicly on on what I think changed for men, which was 1973 in January, Nixon did the most most profound and most popular thing that he ever did during his presidency, which was that he ended the draft. It was it was unanimous. It was, you know, coming off of Vietnam. It was like a unanimous thing that everyone loved.
Everyone knew what needed to happen. We said we're gonna be an all volunteer force, and we're going to, you know, we're going to allow people to choose to serve their country. And of course, this is something that even today, people, you know, our military celebrates the fact that we don't have a draft, that, you know, this is this is part of American culture. But I think what it fundamentally said to young people is that it is a choice to serve. It is a choice.
Not everyone does it. Only the people who want to. They might wanna do it for economic reasons. They might wanna do it for love of country. But it is not something that everyone has to do to serve and defend their country.
And if you think about it, throughout human history, that is the first time that a country has said to young men, your your purpose on this earth is not to defend where you live. It it and it was codified. It was like, that that is not the purpose of manhood. And then ten days later, it was only in in 2023 when I was writing this piece that I actually even realized this. Ten days later, the female equivalent happened where Roe v Wade passed from the Supreme Court.
And that had a similar impact on women where it used to be for all of human history, your purpose on this earth is to have children, is to have a family. And this was the first time, and it and in Western, you know, Western society too, a lot of nations copied us after it. But this was like this was the moment that really changed. Where ten days after men were told your purpose is not to serve, women were told your purpose is not to have a family, it's your choice. Wow.
And so it completely changes the view of how men view themselves and how women view themselves. All in 1973, January, ten days. And it's like, you know, I I would I would would say there's there's, you know, a lot of people who would say, well, are all good things. It's really good that there's choice in America. Not everyone should have to serve their country.
Like, not everyone men and women shouldn't have to go to war, or women shouldn't have to become mothers. But what what we didn't do in that moment is we didn't provide anyone an alternative purpose. We didn't provide men and women anything that says actually the purpose of manhood is this. Or actually the purpose of womanhood is this. We just said go figure it out yourself.
Actually, maybe there is no purpose. In the seventies, like there was this very clear, you know, kind of I would say almost like nihilistic culture of, well, nothing really matters anymore. Like you can do whatever you want. And like that that I think has permeated, you know, so much of society where we don't even believe suffering should exist anymore. It's, you know, it's like the suffering for your country is is is why would anyone do that?
Suffering for your family, why would you do that? But I think the minute that we destroyed, you know, the unique purpose of woman, which for, you know, you can't debate that for millennial that was the purpose of women was to to bear children and to have family. And then the unique purpose of man, which is to fight. The minute that we destroyed those purposes, men and women stopped relating to each other. They didn't know how to they didn't know who they were.
They didn't know what their purpose was. They didn't know how they could relate. And and when you when you look at it from that framework, the family was destined to fail from that moment.
Speaker 1: Damn. You you think every man should have to serve the country?
Speaker 0: No. So that that I think is the the I I don't know that every man needs to go to war. Right? But I think there is something that happens when you say, we once were a country where everyone was treated this way. Everyone knew their purpose.
Everyone woke up in the morning and knew at eighteen, I'm going to there is a chance I will have to serve my country. And that just understanding that that is your purpose changes the way you walk. It changes the way that you think about your life. And the same thing for I don't think every woman should have to to to be a mother. Like I like I, know, it's it's it's almost it's if I talk to, you know, nine people or 10 people, nine out of 10 people would say, of course, like these are good things.
Right? These are popular things.
Speaker 1: Mhmm.
Speaker 0: But at the same time, when we didn't replace that purpose with something else, when we didn't have a way of saying this is how society should be organized.
Speaker 1: You're saying that it changed the consciousness of the country.
Speaker 0: It yes. And and the only the thing that we did instead was instead of, you know, serving your country is an outward focused thing. It's it's focused on other people. It's focused on someone other than you. The same thing with with being a mother.
The minute you become a mother, you stop worrying about yourself. Right? Like, you don't have time to to make yourself the most important thing. Like, you have to worry about your children.
Speaker 1: Mhmm.
Speaker 0: So in both of those cases, those purposes, they were outwardly focused. They were things where this is how we organize society, and you care about the institution of family, and the men care about the institution of country. And then it but what we did instead was we turned inward. We started focusing on our own mind. And this is like the moment that we really start thinking about, you know, psychology.
Like, who am I? What is my purpose on this earth? There's a great book by Philip Reith that was written in the sixties actually called The Triumph of the Therapeutic, which is that, you know, man really started turning inward in the sixties and and early seventies, and really thinking about, like, do I have purpose on this earth and what is this? And the minute that you stop focusing outward and you become very contemplative, which is really what American culture has become, you become very individualistic. Become very obsessed with yourself.
Our generation is, you know, the trophy generation, the the me generation of like everything, you know, everything about me is interesting, and I'm an individual, and I can achieve anything I want. There's no barriers. There's no limitations. But it completely rips out all of the sort of underpinnings of what makes a society function. And I think in some ways that that those were sort of the moments where it's like then you saw the unraveling of, well, there shouldn't be any kind of suffering.
Like, you know, it's the same time that that no no fault divorce happened. Around the same time that, you know, like you shouldn't be told who you are. You shouldn't be judged. You know, similarly in the medical arena, you know, this is around the time where ADHD sort of, you know, late 80s SSRIs started really coming, you know, coming about where it's like we have to start medicating us because we're thinking too much about ourselves, and we have too much depression. And of course depression, you know, SSRIs I think, you know, were seen as kind of a niche thing, and now they're, you know, what what is the number of Americans that are on them?
You know, the the sort of the sort of focus on the the move to focus on the self was a very deliberate action. And I think that the crisis of the family comes from the fact that if you're focused on yourself, you really can't be focused on a family. And you hear this all the time from young people. It's like, I haven't achieved what I wanted. I can barely take care of myself at mid twenties, you know, don't know who I am.
How am I gonna be able to take care of a kid? And we've forgotten that like previous generations, that was they didn't have that luxury. They didn't have the extended adolescence where they could, you know, say, oh, well, I don't know myself. Like, how am I gonna how am I gonna go to war if I don't know myself? Like, the greatest generation wasn't able to say
Speaker 1: that. Mhmm.
Speaker 0: They just had to do it. And in some ways, it's like, you know, we we can definitely make the argument that things are better now in in many ways. Like, you know, people people, you know, are living longer. Like they're, you know, you can definitely make the argument that these things were not necessarily good for society, but at least there was a societal purpose and organization. And I think the thing that has really been corrupted over the last fifty years is that we do not know what our American purpose is.
We just win. And particularly as it comes to the family, if family has become an option, it's no longer the default institution that you build your life in.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 0: And without without that default institution you build your life in, people just they flail. You have the loneliest epidemic, you know, you have young women and men who
Speaker 1: Depression.
Speaker 0: Depression. Exactly.
Speaker 1: For any men out there that are wondering what your purpose is, it's to provide for your fucking family and protect them. That's it. But I didn't realize there was that much confusion out there about it. But I mean, but then you know, you look around and where are all the men? Where did they go?
Speaker 0: To quote the New York Times. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Right, right. So I mean, I wish I would have known you were a conspiratorial person, because otherwise we'd be talking about aliens and the Pyramids and Machu Picchu and all kinds of other shit. But I mean, so the question is, had mentioned, you know, those were draft ended pro choice or or Roe v Wade, you know, ten days apart. I mean, so is this just the result of shitty decision making? You know, and and we the list goes I'm not weighing in on those subjects, but what I'm what I'm saying is, you know, it sounds like you think that's where it started.
Then we see, you know, all the stuff with the gender stuff nowadays and Washington State, the state will come and take your kid if you don't do the gender affirming care and there's just a whole number of things. And so is this is it stemming from somewhere, or is this just a result of decisions?
Speaker 0: I think it's a result of both legal and medical decisions, because I think the medical community has a huge part of this as well. But I think it comes down to the war on suffering has been won, we've defeated suffering, and life is not about suffering. That that is what I think our legal system thinks. That's what our medical system thinks. And when you think of the opioid epidemic, what started the opioid epidemic in the nineties?
It was the belief in the medical community that suffering from back pain is one of the worst things that can happen, and that there's a magical pill that you can take that's going to get you off of back pain. And then there were pill mills across America
Speaker 1: Mhmm.
Speaker 0: Handing out opioids because people couldn't deal with suffering. And that was seen as a good thing. Like, don't you want to eradicate suffering? Same thing with ADHD. Young boys, you know, it's like they can't focus in school.
Here's a magical pill, and you're not going to suffer anymore. Your family's not going to suffer. Your teacher's not going to suffer. You're going to feel great. Mhmm.
And now twenty three percent of boys at 17 years old are on ADHD medication in And it's because we just do not believe that anyone should have to suffer. We don't believe in resilience. We don't believe that anyone should have to make a choice that has nothing that has something to do with society or something that is duty versus what they want to do. It's all individualistic. And I think, you know, the best example of the war on suffering is what hasn't happened fully in The US, but it's happening in The UK, it already happened in Canada, which is if you now suffer from mental illness, you can you have the right to die.
Mhmm. If you're over 18, you are you are welcome to go to a doctor who will sign off of it, and you can you can end your life.
Speaker 1: And like Suicide machines.
Speaker 0: That yeah. And that that that was not the America we lived in before. Yeah. So the question is, why why are we so opposed to suffering? And, you know, I get a lot of pushback from from from people on this.
Well, why are you why are you pro suffering? And, you know, I'm I'm practicing Catholic. The entire story of Catholicism is about Jesus suffering for for something for something noble, for something good, for for us. Right? But it is a story of suffering.
And the movement to try to pull the story of suffering out of human life, that's that's removing human nature. That's removing the entire Christian story out of out of out of how we live and saying, you are not expected to suffer, which what happens then? You have an entire generation of young people who are no longer resilient. So I think one of the biggest lies is this think
Speaker 1: it takes drive away too.
Speaker 0: Oh, 100%.
Speaker 1: Takes personal drive away.
Speaker 0: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Which creates less innovators.
Speaker 0: Totally. Which is why I do think like a lot of these young people, the reason they go to Silicon Valley and they sleep on the factory floor and they work hard and they're building hard things is because they they know that suffering is inherently like there is something good about suffering for a purpose greater than yourself. But I do think there that people are confused about how to find that. Like how do you find that outside of a society that that tells you, you don't need to get married, you don't need to have kids, you don't need to serve your country, you don't need to do something greater than yourself or your community, you don't need to be a pillar of the community anymore. You can move wherever you want.
Just total freedom. And I think without those guardrails or those guides or people who can help you navigate life, like people just get lost.

I liken our situation to a chess game where for every move you make, I can make ten. It's like real-time war games, allowing us to run countless simulations. The AI generates various courses of action and simulates outcomes for each scenario, showcasing potential results.

“Imagine if we were playing chess. But for every one move you take, I can take ten moves. Like I’m just going to win. It war games at real time.

Video Transcript AI Summary
AI is being developed for military planning, such as in the Thunder Forge program, to automate processes and accelerate decision-making. The goal is to shift from humans in the loop to humans on the loop, where AI agents perform tasks and humans verify them. AI agents can accelerate intelligence gathering, operational planning, and tactical decision-making.
For example, if an unexpected ship appears, AI systems analyze sensor data to understand the situation and propose courses of action. These actions are then run through simulations to predict outcomes, providing commanders with a briefing on potential consequences. This process, which currently takes hours, could take days for humans.
While AI won't make recommendations to avoid commanders sleepwalking, the concern is that if adversaries like China and Russia develop similar capabilities, conflicts could become psychological, relying heavily on the quality of intel. Gaining this AI capability even a year ahead of adversaries would provide a significant advantage, like taking ten moves for every one move an opponent makes. Once the capabilities equalize, conflict will rely on adversarial intel and capabilities.

Speaker 0: So let's say China, Russia, our enemies have this capability. We have this capability.
Speaker 1: If we get this capability a year ahead of adversaries, we're just gonna be able to respond so much faster. Imagine we were playing chess, but for every one move you take, I can take 10 moves. Like, I'm just gonna win.
Speaker 0: It war games at real time.
Speaker 1: Exactly. It'll war game at real time. You can run it, these war games and these simulations a million times.
Speaker 0: So is it just AI after AI after AI that's doing all of this?
Speaker 1: And then we started working with the DOD on, you know, more ambitious and larger scale AI projects. So one of the things we're working with them now is this program called Thunder Forge, which is using AI for, military planning and operational planning. So, more broadly so so the basic idea here is can you use AI to effectively like automate major parts of the military planning process so that you're able to plan within hours versus taking many days.
Speaker 0: This sounds like Palantir.
Speaker 1: It's, yeah. They target different parts of the problem and we target different parts of the problem. And ultimately, we work together pretty well. But the this is part of a broader concept that we have around agent what we call agentic warfare. So the use of AI and AI agents in warfare.
And the basic idea is, can you go from these current processes where humans are the loop to humans being on the loop. And so can you go from, you know, situations where, you know, these workflows have to go from a person's do a bunch of work and pass the next person. They have to do bunch of work, pass the next person to the AI agents are just doing a lot of that work and humans are just checking and verifying along the way. And it's it's a big change. So going from, you know, you know, if you compare both set set up side by side, here you have individuals humans with decades of single domain experience who are doing each step step of this process.
And then if you have the AI agents doing it, ideally, you have AI agents who have, you know, thousands of years of of knowledge, all domain knowledge and are are, you know, a thousand times faster at under at doing the actual tasks. And so it's all about taking and this exists at many many different levels. So, you know, there's you can think about this for the sensing and intel portion that we're talking about before. So, you know, can you accelerate the intelligence gathering, you know, the process by which we take all the sensor data and turn that into insight. You can think about it for the operational planning process, like how can you accelerate that, that entire flow.
You can think about it in terms of, you know, on the tactical side, how do you accelerate tactical decision making? So it bleeds into every sort of like level war for every or every component. But at its core, how do you use AI agents to be faster, more adaptive, and have humans just check their work.
Speaker 0: So when you're talking about it helps with mission planning, especially in a tactical environment because that's where I come from. I mean, what is it could be any example, but can you give me an example of how it speeds up the mission planning process in a tactical environment?
Speaker 1: Yeah. So so let's say that so this thing that we have, by the way, we're you know, we're working on it with Indo Paycom and Yukom right now. And we'll deploy more broadly. But let's say that there's a what's a example? Let's say there's some kind of alert that pops up.
Like there's something that we didn't expect that we need to figure out how we're going to
Speaker 0: respond to. Like what kind of an alert?
Speaker 1: So I mean, let's say there was like, there's like, I mean, you can imagine at different levels. But let's say there's like a ship that popped up that we didn't
Speaker 0: Okay.
Speaker 1: As a simple example. So then that alert flows into a bunch of AI systems that are gonna the step is sensing. So where like, let's look through all of our sensing capabilities. And, let's, like, go reanalyze all of the data that we have and figure out how much do we know about that ship. Right?
So now a person would like an analyst would go through and, like, do all this, you know, all the ped and all the stuff to to be able to undergo this work. But ideally, you have AI agents that are just going. They can look through all the historical sensor data. They can figure out, oh, actually, there's like kind of a thing that showed up on this radar and this kind of thing that showed up on this satellite imagery and we can kind of like sketch together this like, you know, the trajectory of this of this ship. Okay.
So you go through that process, you try to understand what's going on. And then you and then you go through and and figure out, okay, what are the what are the possible, courses of actions? So once you have situational awareness, then what are the courses of actions against this particular scenario? And you can have an AI agent, honestly, just propose courses of actions. Like, hey, in this scenario, given this ship is is coming here, you know, we could fire at it.
We just wait to see what happens. We could reposition so that we're, you know, we're able to to, you know, to handle the threat better. You know, all sorts of that. We could we could reposition some satellites so we have greater sensing. You know, there's all sorts of different courses of actions that we could take.
And then, once the AI produces those courses of actions, it'll run each of those different courses of actions through a simulator. So it'll then run
Speaker 0: It war games at real time.
Speaker 1: Exactly. It'll war game at real time. And so then I'll run it through a simulator and say, okay, what's gonna happen if we fire at it? Like, you know, this is what we know about red forces. This is what we know about blue forces right now.
If we fired it, this is like, you know, this is the war game of how that plays out. If we, just increase our sensing, like these are the things that that the red forces could do to fuck us up and like that's the risk that we take on. And and then the benefit is because all of this is automatic, you can run it these war games and these simulations a million times. So it's not just like one, you know, military planners just like trying to like war game and plan it out like, you know, in human time. It's like you could run a million simulations because you don't have perfect information, you don't have perfect knowledge.
So you need to kind of figure out based on the uncertainties of the situation, what are all the potential outcomes that that pop out of that. Wow. And then, so you run like a million different simulations of each of these different courses of action, and then you can give a commander direct, like, you just give them this whole, like, brief and presentation, which is basically, these are the courses of actions we considered. This is the this these are the likely outcomes in those courses of action. We can show you the simulated, like, outcome in each one of these scenarios.
So we can, like, show you what it would look like in every one of those scenarios if it happened, like representative, simulations, and then the commander makes a call.
Speaker 0: Wow. So it's this is what it is. This is what it's doing. These are the possible courses of action. These are the consequences of each action.
This is the percentage. Yeah. Exactly. And and it spits that out in what? A matter of seconds?
Speaker 1: Then now it takes a, you know, probably takes even now, it probably takes a few hours because you know, these models are a lot slower than they will be in the future. But yeah, I mean compare that to I mean depending on the situation like that could take, you know, that could take days for humans to do Like it's and and it's not from lack of will or effort or or capability. It's just it's a really complicated situation. If a ship pops up out of nowhere, like, there's a lot of stuff you have to consider. And so, that's really the the the step change here is just like a, like, dramatically accelerating situational awareness, dramatically accelerating, like, an understanding of what the different course actions are, what could happen, what are the consequences, and surfacing that to commander.
Speaker 0: Does it make a recommendation?
Speaker 1: This is kind of an interesting thing. We we go back and if we want to make a recommendation. Because ultimately, like, we don't want, to just be like, you know, we don't wanna let commanders kind of like sleepwalk, if that makes sense. We want them to like, you know, our military commanders are the best humans in the world, like considering all of the potential consequences of these different course of action. And also considering, you know, and and ultimately making a call based on those potential consequences.
So I think we want to ensure that commanders are still exercising their judgment in these decisions versus just, you know, making it easier for them to just say, oh, go with what the AI says.
Speaker 0: Interesting. Wow.
Speaker 1: But this but then okay. Think about what happens next. So, and this is where stuff gets really freaky. So let's say that, obviously, in a world where just the Blue Force, just The United States has this capability, that's great. You know, we're gonna we're gonna be running circles around everyone else.
But then what happens if the Red Force, you know, China, Russia, whomever, also has the capability? Then you're in this situation where I've war gamed out the whole situation. You know, they've instantaneously war gamed out the whole situation. And then it's like, then then it I think I honestly think so then it's like, we know and you know, like blue forces, red forces, we both know that we both have like, you know, this perfectly war game scenarios. Which avenue do you pick?
And then it becomes this really complicated, almost like psychological, you know, kind of kind of situation where it's like, then it like all comes down to how good our intel is. So how good is our intel about that commander? How good is our intel about what their collection capabilities are? How good is our intel about, you know, what they likely know about us and vice versa? And it gets pretty
Speaker 0: So this is actually let's just so let's say China, Russia, our enemies have this capability. We have this capability. Then it then it kinda becomes it's like the same process that we deal with now. Who has the better intel? Right?
It's just developing and and and you're going to a course of action quicker, and the enemy's doing the exact same thing quicker. So it's essentially, it's the exact same thing that we're doing now, but faster. And so if we develop it then we achieve basically global domination. Am I correct here?
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think and I think timing really matters here because if we get this capability and this will go for I mean, there's like there's way more there's there's way more AI we'll be able to do. But let's say we get this capability, you know, a year ahead of adversaries, then you're then like, we're just gonna be able to respond so much faster. The the analogy I often use is like, imagine we were playing chess, but for every one move you take, I can take 10 moves. Like, I'm just gonna win.
Uh-huh. And that's what that's the asymmetric advantage that that comes out of this of this capability. And then once it but then once it equalizes, then then it's like this very, you know, it's like to your point, becomes like adversarial, intel based, you know, capability based kind of conflict.

A Google engineer left the company, taking all the intellectual property related to their AI chips to China, where he started a company called DeepSeek. The model they developed surprised everyone with its capabilities, raising suspicions of espionage and trade secret theft. The engineer's method of stealing the data was notably simple; he copy-pasted the code into Apple Notes, exported it as a PDF, printed it, and walked out with it.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Since 2018, China has been operating against an AI master plan, with Xi Jinping stating the winner of the AI race will achieve global domination. China is ahead in power generation and data, with over two million people working in data factories compared to approximately 100,000 in the US. They are on par in algorithms due to large-scale espionage.
A Google engineer stole AI chip designs and started a company in China by copying code into Apple Notes. Stanford University is reportedly infiltrated by CCP operatives, and Chinese citizens, including students on CCP-sponsored scholarships, are allegedly required to report information back to China.
China allegedly locked down DeepSeek researchers, preventing them from leaving the country or contacting foreigners. The US was deeply penetrated by Chinese intelligence, while US espionage capabilities in China are comparatively weaker. China is catching up on chips, with Huawei chips nearing NVIDIA's capabilities. China is also reportedly using AI to understand human psychology for information warfare. To combat this, the US needs its own information operations and must improve its AI efforts.

Speaker 0: China has been operating against an AI master plan since 2018. Wow. There's an incredibly large scale intelligence operation running against The US tech industry. A Google engineer took all the IP of how Google designed their AI chips, moved to China, and then started a company. DeepSeek came out of nowhere.
Everyone was so surprised at how capable their model was, or they managed to have a high end espionage operation to steal all of our trade secrets from The United States and then reimplement them back in China.
Speaker 1: Is China leading The US in any other realms when it comes to the AI race? I mean, Xi Jinping has even has said himself, you know, that the the winner of the AI race will achieve global domination.
Speaker 0: Yeah. I think well, the thing almost as you're mentioning to understand is China has been operating against an AI master plan since 2018. They, the CCP put out a a broad whole of government, you know, civil military fusion plan to win on AI. Like you're mentioning, Xi Jinping himself has been has spoken about how AI is going to define the future winners of this global competition. In military from a military standpoint, they say explicitly, hey, we believe that AI is a leapfrog technology, which means even though our military is worse than the America's military today, if we over invest in AI, we we have a more AI enabled military than theirs.
We can leapfrog them. So there's they've been super invested. Right now, I think the best way to kind of paint the current situation is they are way ahead on power and power generation. They're behind on chips, but catching up on chips. They are ahead of us on data.
China has had so again, since 2018, a large scale operation to dominate on data. And today, in 2023, I think, there were over 2,000,000 people in China who are working as working inside data factories. Basically, as data labelers or annotators, basically creating data to fuel into those into AI systems. I think that number in The US by comparison is something like a 100,000. So they're outspending us 12 to one on data.
They have over seven cities, full cities in China that are dedicated data hubs, that are basically powering, you know, this this like broad approach to data dominance. And then on algorithms, I think they have they are on par with us, because of large scale espionage. So, and this is, I think, one of these open secrets in the tech industry that Chinese intelligence basically steals all of the IP and technological secrets from, from The United States. There are a bunch of very concerning reports here. So one is there was a Google engineer who took the designs and and all the IP of how Google designed their AI chips and just took those and and moved to China and then started a company, on top using those using those designs.
The way he got those designs, by this way, was this guy, Leon Leon Ding, I think. The way he stole the data out of out of Google's corporate cloud by the way, was that he it was so stupid. He just took all the code. He copy pasted it into Apple Notes, into like the Notes app, and then exported to a PDF and printed it. And just walked walked out with it.
Speaker 1: That's it. That's it.
Speaker 0: So that was this was later discovered, you know, we felt we found out this happened, but for months we had, you know, we had no idea that they'd stolen all this critical IP. Stanford University, this just came out last week. Stanford University is, is entirely infiltrated by CCP operatives. Few crazy facts. So it is by law in China, any Chinese citizen must comply with China with CCP intelligence gathering operations.
So if you're a Chinese citizen, you're living in The United States and the intelligence agencies in China reach out to you, you have to comply with them. And so you have to give them what you're seeing, what you're what you're finding, etcetera. So that and there's tons of Chinese nationals, Chinese citizens in across all the major elite universities, across all the major tech companies, across all the major AI labs, like they're everywhere. The thing that's crazy is, you know, about a of, Chinese students, so so suit like, Chinese citizens or students in America are on, scholarships sponsored by the CCP itself. And for those on these scholarships, they have to report back to a handler basically.
What are the things they find? What are the things they, they're learning? Otherwise, their scholarships get revoked. So we have there's there's an incredibly large scale intelligence operation running in The against The US tech industry, which is just collecting all the information and secrets and technological secrets from our greatest research institutions, our universities, our lab, AI labs, our tech companies at at massive scale. And honestly, think this is a very underrated element of how China caught up so quickly.
So, you know, DeepSeek came out of nowhere. Everyone was so surprised at how capable their model was and how they learned all these tricks. You know, how much of that is because they came up with all of them on their own or they managed to have a like exquisite high end espionage operation to steal all of our trade secrets from The United States and then reimplement them back in China.
Speaker 1: What does our espionage look like?
Speaker 0: Well, there was a I think nowhere close to as good. I mean, I think so one thing that that that the CCP did for DeepSeek, the DeepSeek Lab, is after DeepSeek blew up and and the CEO of DeepSeek met with the Chinese premier, They then locked up all the researchers into a, insight I shouldn't say locked up, but they like huddled all the researchers together and they took all their passports. So none of the AI researchers who work at deep seek are are able to leave the country at all. And they can't they don't come into contact with any foreigners. So they basically locked down the entire, you know, research effort.
So that it, you know, that makes it very, hard to to conduct any sort of espionage into the into that operation. And then there's that report, this is all in the news, but like, you know, a decade ago, fifteen years ago, all of or many of the CIA operatives, US CIA operatives in China, were all killed because they were sort of, compromised because one of the communication channels they were using was compromised by Chinese intelligence and, you know, the CCP was able to to effectively, like, round a lot of them up and kill them. So our comparable their espionage on us is, like, extremely deep, you know, huge risk. There's incredible amounts of of, you know, we're deeply, deeply penetrated by by Chinese intel. And comparatively, as far as I know, we have like, you know, much less capability.
And I think they've designed it so that's very hard to infiltrate their AI efforts. Jeez. So that's other so they're they're, you know, they're they're ahead of us on data. They're they're able to catch up through espionage on algorithms pretty easily. They're have some power.
So what are we ahead at? Well, right now we're heading chips, and that's kind of our saving grace is that, the NVIDIA chips and the entire stack there are the pride of the world and, you know, we're the most advanced on these chips. Chinese chips are also catching up. There's like a bunch of recent reports that Huawei chips are are getting to be they're basically like one generation behind the NVIDIA chips.
Speaker 1: So they're close. They're close.
Speaker 0: So all of this is, is pretty concerning. There was another, report that came out of CSIS recently that there was a, a Chinese effort called, it's like the next generation brain understanding project or something, where they're basically trying to use AI to fully understand human human personality effectively and human psycho psychological behaviors. I imagine that's ultimately for effectively information warfare. As we were talking about at breakfast, like, I mean, China has large scale information operations, large scale information warfare, and has been has been doing that for decades and, you know, literally decades, going back all the way to like in person operations in Hong Kong. Like they're so sophisticated at all that and AI is going to enable them to just move much faster as well.
Speaker 1: How do we combat that?
Speaker 0: Well, I mean, I think we need our own information operations efforts. Like I think that's pretty critical. That's that's specifically on that thread. And then I think we we need to, we need to acknowledge that at the end of the day, you know, we are a more innovative country, but we have to dramatically, you know, get our shit together if we want to win long term in AI.

I genuinely have no idea what China is up to on the far side of the moon. If they manage to cool their quantum computers with helium-3 before we do, it could change everything. They're mining helium-3, but without our own infrastructure, we can't see what's happening.

China is on the far side of the moon, potentially mining helium-3, and the U.S. doesn't know the extent of their activities due to a lack of monitoring infrastructure. Helium-3 could power the globe for thousands of years and is crucial for cooling quantum computers. If China masters quantum computing first, they could break all encryption and dominate the information market.
The speaker believes a superior strategy trumps better technology and that China is building a space strategy focused on logistics and infrastructure, while the U.S. is focused on building better satellites. Understanding China's cultural mindset is crucial to avoid being victimized.
The speaker asserts that truth and free will are essential, but truth is being manipulated in the information domain. The speaker believes President Trump understood the importance of space and created the Space Force. If China can cool their quantum computers with helium three before the U.S. can, "the jig is up."

Speaker 0: We legitimately don't know what China is doing on the other side of the moon?
Speaker 1: No. We don't. Yeah. I'm getting real upset. If China can cool their quantum computers with helium three before we can, the jig is up.
This is part of the power of space, and this goes back to why truth and information is the most important element. It's back to Sun Tzu in The Art of War. Know thy enemy, know thyself. And if you are deceived in your own arrogance, eventually you're gonna be a dead man.
Speaker 0: What is helium three energy?
Speaker 1: Yeah. So helium three is an element that doesn't get to earth very much because our atmosphere and our gravitational field prevent it from landing on the earth. So an ounce of helium three on the earth is very very expensive, and the business case doesn't, really close. But on the moon or on the asteroids, there's a ton of helium three. And so to give you an example of what it means, if we were to mine the moon for helium three, we could, at the current level of electricity use in America, or not in America, in the globe, We could we could power the energy needs of the human race for thousands of years based on the helium three that's on the moon right now.
And there there there and and so the twist there is China is there on the moon, on the far side of the moon. We don't know what they're doing because we don't have infrastructure up there to even see what's going on. But we do know they're mining helium three. So
Speaker 0: You legitimately don't know what China is doing on the other side of the moon?
Speaker 1: No, we don't. Because the other side of the moon, you know, most people may not know this, but you only see one side of the moon. Yeah. In the way that it rotates and orbits around the earth. It's a very interesting phenomenon in orbital mechanics.
But it's, and so unless we have a constellation of satellites flying around the moon that can see and understand what's going on, we're blind. And that's one reason they're over there. But but, let me give you a commercial
Speaker 0: I'm really upset, Steve.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm getting real upset. So but so this goes back to a strategy and why I'm in the space business. Because space is the place where if America does not change our strategy and how we're investing in space, we will become victims to others that use space as a way of dominating the energy market, also the information market. So here's an example.
About a month ago, Microsoft announced their quantum computing capability, which is just next level and awesome. But they need to cool it down to 80 milli Kelvin, which basically is almost down to the point where the molecules don't even move. Okay? There's really no way to cool it efficiently down to that level. Hydrogen would only get you down to maybe one Kelvin.
You need to go much lower than that. Helium three can do it like that. So let's take a scenario where China now has enough helium three as they're mining it on the moon and bringing it back to earth to be able to power the entire world for thousands of years. And they are the ones that can actually operationalize quantum, because they can cool it down to the temperature it needs to actually operate. Now quantum sensing, quantum communication, you know, when you start looking at quantum computing, when you start combining those three quantum capabilities, sensing, computing, communication, and you can affordably cool it down to the levels where it can be operationalized, now you've broken every code that ever was.
I don't care how good your encryption is. They see every secret, every code, everything. You know, from Bitcoin to, you know, things like, you know, the techniques of Blockchain. Forget it. It's all gonna change.
And so there's an example of why not being in space with logistics and infrastructure to be able to move, to see, and to operate, I I can make you a vulnerable make you vulnerable.
Speaker 0: How long has China been on the far side of the home?
Speaker 1: Well, we you know, it's been quite a while. They you know, you can look back. It's been at least two years. And, you know, the the the problem here is the the in in my view, it it is that we do not have a sense of how dramatically things will change with these technologies that are in space. We build better satellites than anybody on the planet, okay?
We build better fighters, tanks, ships, submarines. We we build really cool stuff.
Speaker 0: Mhmm.
Speaker 1: Better than anybody else in the world in in many cases. There are exceptions of course. But what beats good technology is a superior strategy. So China may not, they may be a fast follower, where they look a lot like our f 22 in their fighters. They look a lot like Elon Musk's, you know, rocket ships.
They may be a fast follower. But they aren't interested in making better technology. They are building a strategy of logistics and infrastructure in space that will that will change the game for the energy and information market on Earth. And we are on a strategy that builds better satellites to do the same things we've done before. And there are efforts to do these other things, but it's not fueled by the kind of money to operationalize it and really compete.
This is why strategy eats technology for lunch.
Speaker 0: Man, this is really alarming. I mean, who knows what they're doing over there? Legitimately have
Speaker 1: We know they're mining, okay? I know they're We know they're bringing back, because we can see what they're bringing back, and this is all open source. We can, know, in open source you can see some of the things that China's doing, and and and so we have evidence of of some of the things they're doing, but we we don't know the extent, and and that's part of the problem. And this goes back to why truth and information is the most important element. Because, you know, it's back to Sun Tzu and The Art of War.
Know thy enemy, know thyself. And if you are deceived in your own arrogance and your own dominance of the past, that what you did in the past is sufficient to win in the future, eventually you're gonna be a dead man. And if you do not know your enemy well enough, not just on the technical side, but the cultural side. And this is why having been raised in Africa, has been very valuable for me. Because being raised in a tribe with no American influence, and then coming here at the age of 10, and then being immersed in Los Angeles, where my dad was the pastor of a church, gave me a lens at this cultural misunderstanding in how we talk past each other.
And it's been very valuable, like in the military. The Army talks past the Air Force, talks past the Navy, talks past Special Forces, talks past the Coast Guard. And to be able to see that and help people connect where they're actually talking to one another and listening to one another is key. But the same is happening here with technologies and China. We, as an American society, tend to just believe our own press and think that our way of thinking is dominant.
And it has worked. But if we don't understand China's cultural mindset, we could end up being a victim to it. Now, it's really important here to state two facts. One, the Chinese people are beautiful. The Russian people are beautiful.
People in every culture are just beautiful people. But whenever you are under a governance rule set that steals away freedom. Steals away freedom of choice, which is something I believe has been planted in the hearts of every human being and the bible tells us and God is clear. Free choice, free will. This is how we know whether you're good or bad.
If you have no freedom, I don't know if your heart is good or is bad because you don't make any choices. You're being forced to make choices that, you know, it Mhmm. And and so when I see, systems like communism, socialism, that have a historical precedence rooted in human nature of murdering its own people in order to maintain control, and taking away personal freedom. This is why we have to be so careful, and why what you're doing is at the core of our survival as a nation. Because free will is predicated on understanding truth.
You you gotta know what's going on in your strategic environment, or again, you're not you're not free. You're making a decision that has been shaped in your brain by somebody that's trying to get you to do something in their interest, and you're actually doing something counter to your own self interest. So in order to understand what China is doing, what Russia is doing, and what is going on in the world, we have to be able to understand truth. And truth has been morphed and mutated. In fact, the information domain is now a battle space.
We used to believe the TV. And when we found out the TV was lying to us and our government was lying to us, then social media and this new technology came about and we're like, starting to rush there. How do I triangulate truth here? And now we see that liars and storytellers that are trying to get us to believe something that is not true have infiltrated the social media and even the podcast world. So I say we're like teenagers in this information age and we still don't have the tools to triangulate truth quickly enough to be able to not make mistakes and drive ourselves off our own cliff.
And so our society is in a very vulnerable place right now, where we're trying to hunt, and this is why you're so valuable, because you are taking the time to talk to multiple people, to understand where the truth lies, and it's incredibly important.
Speaker 0: Mike, I can't get my mind off of China being on the other side of the moon for years, and we have not sent anything up there. I how does that just slide past a president's desk? Hey. We got this. We got China over here, our biggest adversary, biggest potential adversary.
Speaker 1: This president
Speaker 0: You might wanna take some take a look at this.
Speaker 1: Well, this president, president Trump understands this.
Speaker 0: He does?
Speaker 1: He does.
Speaker 0: Well, that's good
Speaker 1: news. And and in fact, he understood it in his first term, and this is why he was willing to put up with the ridicule, sarcasm, and humiliation that came with saying, we are gonna create a space force. That space force, when we look back three hundred years from now, the legislation that President Trump championed to get a space force written into law will be the wedge in history that protects America. Without that now even though the last four years the the the the the government, the executive branch has not allowed the Space Force to build what it needs to protect us, so they kinda went into idle as soon as President Trump came into office, He's gonna put that into full afterburner. If China can cool their quantum computers with helium three before we can, the jig is up.
This is part of the power of space, you know, translated into something tangible and operational called quantum. So that's quantum computing, which would make all secrets null and void, which might not be a bad thing because then only people that don't need to keep secrets are the ones revealed, and evil can't hide. This is where this technology can be good or it can be bad as long as the human heart is good and the majority of people that dominate these technologies have a good heart and love their God and love other people like God loves them, we have a pathway to the golden age. If only evil people developed these technologies, like if Hitler were first for the atomic bomb, we would probably all be speaking German right now and it would be a very different reality.

I believe Trump gets that without American manufacturing, we lose our power. The globalist elites underestimated the importance of producing domestically and thought outsourcing was beneficial. They overlook that when we stop making things, we give up our leverage. Every day, we should recognize how dependent we are on Xi Jinping's decisions. The real threat isn't a military conflict; it's the economic power he holds over us, which could render us irrelevant if he chooses to act against us.
@ShawnRyan762 - Shawn Ryan
"Trump understands that if we don’t manufacture in America, we’re just everyone else’s b*tch." "Trump instinctively understands this in a way that the globalist elites do not. They thought outsourcing everything was great. They’re against tariffs—why would you produce in a less efficient economy when you can manufacture wherever it’s cheapest according to global market dynamics? The problem is, they forgot that once you stop making things and your companies no longer produce anything, you lose all leverage—you’ve handed it away to everyone else." "Shouldn’t we wake up every day thinking, ‘Holy sh*t, everything I have right now is because Xi Jinping hasn’t decided to screw us yet’? And he will do it. People think the first strike in a conflict will be a Chinese warship firing on a U.S. ship in the Taiwan Strait. That’s not the first move. The first move will be Xi calling his allies in the U.S. and saying, ‘If the U.S. government tries to fight back, I will destroy your economy. I’ll do it tomorrow. I’ll revoke all your special waivers, seize your factories, nationalize your workers, and then sell iPhones to the entire world while you become irrelevant overnight.’ That’s the real threat he holds over us." @PalmerLuckey
Video Transcript AI Summary
Trump instinctively understood that outsourcing everything was a mistake. Globalist elites assumed making things in less efficient economies was fine, but they forgot that it eliminates leverage. If we don't make things in America, we're at the mercy of others.
Imagine a dictator in China destroying our economy overnight. The first strike won't be a missile, but Xi Jinping crippling our economy by threatening American companies. He could nationalize factories and sell iPhones to the world, leaving us irrelevant.
Nobody's talking about this threat openly. I'm now pro-tariffs until we get our act together. We transformed into a manufacturing hub during World War II in two years, so we can do it again.
We also need "defector visas" to bring in top talent from hostile nations. Stealing their best engineers hurts them while helping us catch up. This type of immigration should appeal to everyone because it weakens our foes.

Speaker 0: But like Trump in instinctively understands this in a way that the globalist elites do not they thought that outsourcing everything was just a great thing it's amazing they're against tariffs they're like why why would you make it in the less efficient economy? Why wouldn't you make it wherever it wants to be made according to the global interdynamics? And the problem is they forgot that once you can't make anything, and once your companies don't make anything, you have no leverage, and you've just handed it away to everyone else. Like, Trump understands that if we don't make things in America, we're actually just everyone else's bitch. And like, what's the price on that?
It's easy to complain about tariffs making cars more expensive because the parts can't come from China, but what value do you put on the fact that a dictator in China could destroy our economy overnight by signing a few pieces of paper? Isn't that a situation that we should just be humiliated by every day as a nation? Shouldn't we be wake up saying, Holy shit, everything I'm enjoying is because Xi hasn't decided to screw us yet. Xi's gonna do it. When he people think that the first missile to fly is going to be a Chinese ship firing at a US ship in the Strait Of Taiwan that's not the first missile the first missile is gonna be Xi calling off of his buddies in The United States and saying the United States government tries to fight this, I'm going to destroy your economy.
I will do it tomorrow. I will kick all of you out. I will give away all your special waivers. We're going to steal all your factories. We're going to nationalize all your workers.
And then we are going to sell iPhones to the entire world. And you will become irrelevant. Like, that is actually what he has in his quiver. Jeez. That's fucking scary.
It's heavy stuff, right? Yeah. And and and the worst part is that not to be a be a caricature of it. Nobody's talking about this. Like, when was the last time you you heard this you know discussed in an open eye like and it's all obviously true like does anyone dispute that Xi can just destroy apple I don't think anyone disputes that does anyone dispute that Xi could literally destroy millions of US jobs and trillions, if not tens of trillions in market cap, literally overnight with the stroke of his pen?
Like, I don't know. I I I I feel like maybe maybe how people felt a little bit during the cold war, you know, just being under the the pressure of, oh man, the nukes could launch at any moment. I I it feels like it feels a little bit like some lesser version of that. So, yeah. I'm a libertarian who's pro tariffs now is the is the real conclusion.
I'm pro I'm pro tariffs until we have our own house in order. Like like I like tariffs I I I I I'm not a fan of tariffs. I know how long would it even take to get our house in order? That not even that long. I mean, you probably see what people say.
Oh, well, maybe tariffs work in theory, but I mean, it'll take years or decades to set up factories. That's bogus. Look at what we did when we transformed this country during World War II. We went from basically being a mercantilist, quasi agrarian society to being the world's most powerful manufacturing hub in like a year and a half, two years, are you really telling me we couldn't do it again if it wasn't a priority? I just don't believe it.
It's easier than ever to set up a factory. I've done it in China. It is easier than ever to set up advanced manufacturing. It's just a matter of will. And you also need to staff it.
Like, you know what we've done? We've built a country where through globalism, no smart kid wants to be a manufacturing process engineer. For example, is there any world where Palmer Lucky let's say I was 18 years old, I'm deciding what my major is. Why in the world would I major in anything to do with manufacturing knowing that there's hardly any manufacturing going on in my country? Right?
If I'm a smart kid, I'm going to go work in finance or biotech or, what else are the kids doing these days? I guess maybe working in video games. If we don't manufacture here, then our smartest people aren't going to want to work in manufacturing. And so like, this is a problem that's got at least when we got out of manufacturing stuff, and call it the globalized decline starting in the 90s to now, at least back in the 90s, we still had all the leftover people from the Cold War. Now they're all retired, and now we don't actually have anybody.
So this is a problem where we can build the factories quickly, but the hardest part is going to be, training the kids. We're going to need to basically get serious about training people to run factories well, efficiently, using modern techniques. And we do have a, we do have a lack of those. I have a big have you heard of the idea of defector visas? No.
It's one of my pet political ideas. During the Cold War, we gave a lot of visas to people to come to The United States to immigrate here from hostile powers like the Soviet Union if they were in a critical role in those countries. Everybody said, you're important over there. You are one of, like, the puzzle pieces that keeps everything held together for, you know, their missile program. Come over to The United States, we'll give you a job at NASA, and, and we'll give you a visa.
You can come or you can get an American life, an American wife, it'll be fantastic, you're going to love it. I think we need to start doing that again. I think that's one of the ways that we can beat China. Because there's a lot of people in China, they're there, but they don't really want to be. There's a lot of people who hate what China has become.
I would love it if we could say, you know what? We need a lot more people in America who know how to manufacture. I want American jobs, right? To be clear, I'm not saying we need to import people because we can't survive without immigration. I'm not one of those people.
But if we can steal their very best manufacturing engineers, deprive China of those people, and then put them to work here helping us catch up with China in manufacturing, I mean, that's a great trade. Let's haul over their best plant managers, and then let's have a thousand jobs created by each of those guys here in America. I think we need to bring back defector visas. We need to own it. And it seems like a type of immigration that even the really anti immigration people can get behind.
Because the point is like, look, we're not trying to bring in millions of fruit pickers, we're trying to steal the very best people from our greatest foe. Surely we can agree that that's usually worth doing. It's better for us to have those people, for them to be running the missile factory that's going to blow up our name. I know there was a little bit of a debate on that, not too long ago, correct? You can do like the skilled immigration versus NIE.
So that's true. The difference there is that H-1Bs are about whether or not they're like, it's all in theory. Of course, there's so much H-1B abuse. You would not believe what I saw when I was in Silicon Valley. It's crazy.
It is insane. It's obviously a program to try and replace U. S. Workers with basically slave labor that can't ever escape. H-1B abuse is crazy.
But in theory, H-1Bs are to create a job for an immigrant if there is not a person who could be hired to do that job in The United States. A defector visa adds an additional requirement. It has to be something that they care about that you're ripping away. So like, it's not just that there's a need for them here, it's that it's going to hurt China by taking them. If China has a million people that do something, like let's say, like, let's say that we need more rice pickers here, and China's got more rice pickers, China's got plenty of rice pickers.
Taking a rice picker is not going to hurt. Taking the head of an advanced silicon manufacturing facility that can make cutting edge computer graphics chips, that is going to really, really hurt them. So I say I say that that was the part of the debate that I didn't see present is using immigration not just as a tool to help The United States, but to harm our adversaries. I want it to I I want it to stop focusing on the plow and start turning it into a sword. It's a double win.

I even made a derogatory comment about her in a video. Sadly, she killed herself on the ten-year anniversary, and it really affected me. I decided to leave the video up as a reminder.
Later, in Liberia, I saw Rob O'Neil holding back crowds. The locals would come up to us with human heads. They called us "brother Americans" and explained how Liberia was founded by freed American slaves. They were incredibly grateful and even recited parts of the U.S. Constitution.

He goes, last thing we heard is they're not gonna make it through the night. So they weren't even basing Najah. They were just popping into the and then popping back out. We got a bunch of bank runners at 12:00, eight hundred meters from building we've got about 15 of them on the run up here. One female army that was scared to death.
Even made a derogatory comment about her in a video that I did in the ten year anniversary video ten years ago. Oh, even the chick on the roof that was running around yelling, what are you shooting at? At? What are you shooting at? Like I told you on the roof that day, shut the up.
I was a different man back then. Wasn't as compassionate as I am now. Or didn't know how to find it maybe. Well, we were laying taxi on the wall. Yes.
And she killed herself that day on the ten year anniversary. And that that bugged me. And that's the only situation she was ever in in her life. She just happened to be there in this worst case scenario, this Alamo situation, and it devastated her to the point where she left her own child behind and committed suicide on the ten year anniversary. And, man, that that was maybe one.
I and I was about to go back and delete that whole video. I said, no. I'm gonna leave that up as a reminder for me of that. You never know what people are going through.
Speaker 1: This is CNN breaking news.
Speaker 2: And I'm Susan Roschin in Atlanta with this breaking news. US and Iraqi forces are in a fierce battle against militants near Najaf. Iraqi Officials say between 253 militants have been killed in this fight. They're taking cover. And the US military confirms that two American soldiers were killed in a helicopter crash in the fight.
Speaker 0: There's a bus, a tour bus that they use to try to dump all the insurgents right behind the t ball. That's a hundred and four yards, man. And it was full of insurgents.

Speaker 1: Did that much killing affect your psyche at all? I wonder.
Speaker 0: If you look up Navy SEALs in Liberia, you'll see Rob O'Neil and all his guys in work on the beach holding, like, a thousand Liberians back going, stay back, stay back. And they're like, Americans, you're here. You're here. You're here. So there was a compromise.
People will come up to you in the market with a head. Like, hey, this is a, you know, government head from a commander. Look what we got. Look what we got. I'm like, dude, get the fucking head out of my face, man.
Like, that's what Liberia was like. And it's and it's it was a beautiful country before this all happened. Stop shooting at civilians. If I catch you shooting at civilians, you're going to die. You know, they kept calling us brother American, brother American.
I'm like, why do you guys call us brother Americans? Like, you're not what do you mean? They're like, we are Americans. And then they start educating me and my guys on the history of our own damn country that we forgot. When the slaves were freed, they had an opportunity to go back to their homeland and Liberia, Monrovia, Liberia was the first colony of American slaves that established a new order and a new government in the in the Continent Of Africa.
And they are extremely grateful. Interesting. They were teaching us some of these kids, man, that are they don't even know how old they are, but, like, 12 to 15 years old, they'll recite parts of our constitution. And you're like, you live in a Seriously? You live in a tin shack, dude.
It was incredible. That's why I just really have a a deep love for for those people.

Speaker 1: this is like satanic ritualistic shit. It's the hot if the elites are eating up in human beings. They're teaching the kids to do that stuff.

My youngest son saw armed agents approaching and alerted my oldest, who was confused and scared. The agents told my kids I was a murderer, which was shocking. My wife, alerted by a neighbor, rushed home but was immediately interrogated. They raided our house, taking electronics and even mistaking a dummy grenade for a live one. My wife confronted the agents about their incompetence. After hours, I was released but had no idea of the extent of the situation until I got home, where my family was in shock. This ordeal made it clear that things had escalated dramatically.

They were like, why? I'm like, because my wife's not home. She's at, lunch or like a brunch with a friend.
And I was like, my oldest son is leaving, and I need to be back by, I think it was like 01:00, because my youngest son's there. I specifically remember this as those two looked at each other, like,
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, no. Yeah. We'll we'll get
Speaker 0: you out. You'll be done by then. I was like, okay. Well, as I'm being, you know, I'm in that office with no phone,
Speaker 1: wondering, like, what my kids are gonna do. They were actually raiding my house during that time.
Speaker 0: They my, youngest son was downstairs watching TV. My oldest was still in bed. How old? He had just turned 18. And your youngest?
Eight years old at the time. The way they both, like, have described me what happened is, you know, my my youngest was watching TV. We have a big window that looks out into the street in our living room. He looked out the window and saw guys with automatic weapons coming up to the house in it like a train, you know? Yeah.
He said he saw a guy in the window, I think, with a gun, which he's eight years old. He ran upstairs, got my oldest son, woke him up, and was like, there's guys with guns outside. My oldest son told me to get the fuck out of his room or, you know,
Speaker 1: it was like, whatever you're
Speaker 0: I thought he was just being kooky. And he started crying and was like, no, there's guys with guns that you you need to go look. So my oldest son walked downstairs, and he said, he could see somebody out of the window. And, when he opened the door, there was, a guy on his knees with a gun to him pointed at him, and then two guys with other guns pointed at his head. The eight year old?
No. This is my 18 year old. And my eight year old standing behind him, crying. They're yelling at, my oldest son to
Speaker 1: get his hands up, which he did. And, then they were like, we need you
Speaker 0: to come outside now. You know? And this is all my oldest son is like doesn't know what's going on. And he called me. He was like, well, can I put my hands down to open the door?
And they didn't know what to do. They he said they just sat there, like, trying to figure out how how to actually conduct a fucking raid or
Speaker 2: So these guys, No. They were This is the first house they ever raided.
Speaker 0: Yeah. You know, and the
Speaker 1: crazy part is is they these are all NCIS agents. They had an FBI agent somewhere in the mix because they wouldn't
Speaker 0: they would not be able to conduct that raid without an adult there present. So that's what they used. Like, they had an FBI guy there, like, being like, oh, I'm overseeing this. But that's I mean, that doesn't show you anything. These guys can't even conduct raids without an adult present, so they don't do anything stupid.
Speaker 1: They ended up pulling my kids out
Speaker 0: in the middle of the street, in their underwear. By this time, the neighbors, you know, are all looking out, seeing this go on. They have my whole street every avenue to my street barricaded off.
Speaker 1: You know, it looked like
Speaker 0: I was a cartel member.
Speaker 2: So they yanked an eight year old kid out of your house at gunpoint and threw his ass in the front yard in his underwear Mhmm. For everybody to see.
Speaker 0: Yeah. And left him there for a while. And just they started to lay siege to my house. Now my wife is Andrea. She's down the street, probably like two miles at a, breakfast place having brunch with a friend.
She gets a phone call from my daughter, who my daughter was in Ohio at the time,
Speaker 1: with her, biological dad. And, one
Speaker 0: of the neighbors had called my daughter a girl that was our neighbor and was like, your brothers are outside with guns pointed at their heads in their underwear, like, and there's people all over the streets with guns. Holy shit. So my daughter is like calls my wife, and she's like, I just got a call from so and so, and this is what's going on. And, you know, all this is probably, like, crazy.
Speaker 1: And they're just like, what? So my wife gets up,
Speaker 0: and she's like, I gotta go, races try races home. And she said that she tried to pull up in our neighborhood, and everything was blocked off. She somehow got a call from one of the NCIS agents, and she was like, I'm I'm coming home. And they're they opened it up and let her through. She parked, and then they immediately started interrogating my wife.
They brought her into a van, I think, and just started asking her all sorts of questions.
Speaker 1: You know? And you had
Speaker 2: no idea that she was going on during
Speaker 0: the No idea that any of
Speaker 1: this was going on. My I
Speaker 0: think it was my youngest son asked one of the NCIS agents why they were there, and they pretty much said he's your dad's a murderer or he's being like, told told the kids that I'm being, like, charged with murders. Pretty much telling my kids I'm a murderer, which is insane to me, why you would tell somebody's kids that when you don't have anything, you know, at that point.
Speaker 1: And then, you know, my wife pretty much told them to screw off in some form or fashion.
Speaker 0: It was just like, I have nothing to say to you. And then she went in and watched them pretty much take everything out of my house. You know, took all my kids' electronic equipment, took anything they could. Damn.
Speaker 1: They found going through my garage, just
Speaker 0: like any other team guy's garage, I have all my kit bags and shit in there. So they were pulling out, I, you know, magazines that are high capacity magazines for California and pretty much being like, Oh, got
Speaker 1: them on this. I had a
Speaker 0: this is actually pretty funny. I had a,
Speaker 1: dummy grenade with a blue body in one of
Speaker 0: my kit bags. They called EOD and said I had a live grenade in my house. So EOD, I guess, rolls up to my house and come to find out it's literally a dummy grenade. And they're like, this is, you know, just to give you an idea how incompetent these fucking guys are.
Speaker 1: You know, the best thing I think I heard my wife say is,
Speaker 0: when they were you know, they've been there for hours, and she's just, like, watching them go through all of our shit and take it. And she told me, she's like, they all look like
Speaker 1: they were just a bunch of beta male, like, dudes. Like, just you
Speaker 0: could tell, like, these fucking guys have no idea what they're doing. And one of them came up to her, and I don't know if he put his hand on her shoulder, like, did something, but it was like, this must be really hard for you. What's going on right now? And I guess she told me, she looked at him and she's like, you have no fucking clue what we go through in this community. She's like, you think this is fucking hard?
She's like, you're out of your mind. Like, get the fuck. Hurry, get your shit, get the fuck out. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So they, you know, dispersed.
Speaker 0: I have no clue that this is going on. I get they come back in the interrogation room finally, and they're like, hey. Alright. You can go. At this point, I'm like just fucking worn out just from sitting there for so long wondering what's going on.
I I come out. They had my phone, and they're like, we're keeping your phone. I was like, alright. And they're like, do you I was I say, can I call my lawyer? Oh, I think it was either my lawyer or my wife.
And they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: yeah. They
Speaker 0: gave me my phone.
Speaker 1: I put the code in, and then they yanked it out of my hand. And they're like, you can't have it.
Speaker 0: And, that's how they got into my phone. And right before I left the NCIS office, one of the agents, this little turd, Brian Frank, he actually testified at my trial. He's in there all kitted up, and it looks like he's like this little kid playing airsoft. He looks right at me, and he's like, hey. When I was walking out, he's like, I saw your wife today.
And I turned and looked at him, like, what? And he's like, yeah. I saw her.
Speaker 1: And I didn't I was like, okay.
Speaker 0: Like, what the fuck are you talking about? I just walked out. Like, little did I know, you know, until I got home that they had pretty much laid siege to my house.
Speaker 2: So they're fucking taunting you?
Speaker 0: Yeah. Everything they did was to taunt me and try and get me to do something so they could be like, got them. I mean, it was at that point, I had no idea, but it became more evident as this whole nightmare went on. But,
Speaker 1: I got home, and
Speaker 0: that's when, you know, my wife and kids were in the living room just like, what the fuck? And, yeah, that's when we knew I was like, dude, this has gotten real. You know? Like, what is going on?

I see a significant gap in the fossil record between single-celled and multi-celled organisms, leading to a disconnect in understanding the evolution of species. We have fossils of animals and humans, but the transition from simpler life forms remains unaddressed.

Video Transcript AI Summary
There is a significant gap in the fossil record between single-celled organisms and humans, raising questions about evolution. The complexity of the human body suggests intelligent design rather than random chance. The body operates as a sophisticated ecosystem, where mental and physical health are interconnected. Modern medicine often overlooks this connection, treating them separately. Fasting, a practice found in many religions, promotes healing by allowing the body to recycle useless cells. The body’s design, from blood circulation to bone formation, reflects remarkable engineering. Returning to natural foods and avoiding processed substances can address chronic diseases. Emphasizing what nature provides—whole foods, sunlight, and clean water—can lead to better health outcomes.

Speaker 0: You have these single celled organisms and multi celled organisms, and then there's just a giant gap in the fossil record. And you have animals, and then you have man. And we just simply ignore that. Wow. And so I didn't know that.
When I really studied the human body, this ecosystem is so intelligent. It could not have been put together by accident. I would love to hear you disprove evolution. Can we do that? Well, the main issue with evolution is the following.
The main issue with evolution is we have taken enormous scientific leaps in the fossil records. Right? So if evolution is true, then you find single celled or multi celled organisms. Right? And you go from single celled or 2 celled organisms to 4 celled to 8 celled to 16 celled, you go through a progressive, evolution, if you will, of these organisms evolving into an increasingly more being like creature.
So evolution says basically that some bacteria got together in a mud puddle, and they mated. And we went from single celled organisms to multi celled organisms to quadracellular to hexacellular to multicellular. And then these organisms began to form into systems that created organ systems, and then you basically had what is a rudimentary, non air breathing, organism that's that was in the water to an organism that had gills, and then those gills moved out onto land, and then they started to breathe oxygen. And then this whole lineage of species evolved from this. The problem is there's 0 evidence of that.
The problem is you have these single celled organisms and multi celled organisms, and then there's just a giant gap in the fossil record. And you have animals, and then you have man. But we don't have a fossil record that takes us from single and multi celled organisms into an entire species. And we just simply ignore that. Wow.
And so I didn't know that. We ignore the science that would validate that evolution was and and 2, for me, when I when I start to when I really study the human body and and by the way, we have barely scratched the surface of understanding, you know, this this thing that god created. It is it is fascinating in its ability. You know, modern medicine will say, well, that was a miracle cure. It's not a miracle cure.
It's when when people are miraculously cured from things, it's because they figured out the the deficiency or they figured out that we're an that we're an entire being. We we've lost, faith in the ability that this has over this. The medicine treats our our mental health and our physical health almost as separate, creatures. And so you destroy somebody's gut health, their mental health will follow. You will not have again, I've never met a patient that suffers from anxiety that didn't have gut issues.
So what I'm saying is you have this perfectly beautiful, organism. You have these communities of trillions of cells. God gave us everything that we need to thrive. Everything that we need to thrive. The best research that is being done on the surface of mother earth right now is being done on the basics that god gave us.
Magnetism from the earth, oxygen from the air, light from the sun, whole foods, minerals from, like, that you would get if you scooped water out of a flowing stream, grounding by discharging into the earth and changing the polarity of of of your body, repolarizing the surface of your blood cells, learning to actually allow sunlight into your eyes and to touch your skin. We're very photovoltaic beings. And so what happens when we start to disconnect from mother nature? What happens when we start to disconnect from what god gave us and replace it with what man man made us? We get this is this is how we become sick and diseased and pathological.
1 of the reasons, you know, getting back to to evolution is you look at how this human body is is is structured, and you you see that, for example, an artery will have a certain diameter, and it carries this warm oxygenated blood away from the heart. And then wrapped around this artery, comprising the same diameter, but divided into smaller little pipes are the veins. And the veins are smaller in diameter, and they're wrapped around the artery to improve the heat exchange. And so you start like digging into this, and you're like, this is like the most sophisticated engineer in the world designed this system. Because the warm fluid that's leaving changes the temperature of the cool fluid that's coming back.
And the way you change the temperature is you divide the same diameter into smaller pipes and you wrap it around this other pipe. You don't see arteries and veins like this. You see artery and veins like this. And so it's and I can give you a thousand examples of this. It's just it's just incredible how the the body can you know when you fast for example, your body goes into the state called autophagy where it actually starts to eat cells that are useless in the body.
It recycles them. Right? You look at any faith in the in the world, Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindu, you look at any, major religion in the world, they all have periods of fasting. And they have periods of fasting because fasting wasn't just to deprive you of, you know, pleasures of the flesh. It was to heal you.
It was actually designed when we didn't have the medications that we have today. It was designed to cleanse and heal the body. Because when you go into a fasted state, this miraculous condition starts to emerge where your body efficiently go sends the immune system out into the world, and it starts to eat the useless cells in your body and break them apart into the amino acids that we use other places for energy. It's so incredibly efficient. It's it's like, you know, like, the greatest PhD chemist in the world designed the chemical component.
The greatest architectural engineer in the world designed the architecture of it. The structure of it is is is so incredible. If you look at how we take the same minerals and create bone, calcium, phosphorus, form hydroxyapatite, create this this bone and then we warehouse a factory inside the bone that creates the the red blood cells and the red blood cells are responsible for shuttling the, the gases around in the body. And this this ecosystem is so intelligent, and it couldn't in not in my opinion, but in the scientific evidence, it could not have been put together by accident. It didn't happen by happenstance.
God gave us everything that we need to thrive. If you can't find it on the surface of the earth, you probably don't need it to live a healthy, happy, long, thriving life. Right? It's when we start picking up the things that god didn't give us. We start eating highly processed foods, glyphosates, preservatives, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fake foods, dyes, you know, the MSGs, the genetically modified foods which are not even foods, and we start putting these non natural compounds into the body.
Now we become diseased and sick and pathological, and now we're relying on chemicals and synthetics and pharmaceuticals to fix the pathology that was caused by the chemicals, the synthetics, and the pharmaceuticals. It's it's it's such a vicious cycle. But but if we go back to what God gave us, meat, fish, chicken, eggs, vegetables, sunlight, grounding, breath work, exercise, nature, water that is free of, you know, glyphosate and free of, chlorine and free of fluoride and and microplastics and pharmaceuticals, you'd find that we could fix this entire pandemic or chronic disease in the country. Just going back to what God gave us. Wow.
So you're not eating Bill Gates' fake meat. Who's lab grown meat? Italy banned that shit. That was crazy.

SEAL Team 6 Sniper Recounts a Failed Hostage Rescue Mission "My job is to protect these assaulters, right, and see what they can't see. When the breach goes off, I’m eliminating those five. So I did." https://t.co/K4tZcPDliJ
Video Transcript AI Summary
Reflecting on the mission, there were loud noises that may have spooked the captors into hiding the hostages in a tunnel. After receiving a call for planning help, I quickly prepared to join the operation. We faced delays but eventually jumped into the target area, aiming to rescue two kidnapped professors. Anticipating a tough fight, we approached cautiously. Upon reaching the target, we found five males sleeping but confirmed they weren't the hostages. I made the difficult decision to eliminate them to protect my team. Unfortunately, the hostages were not there, leading to a failed rescue. Despite the stress and moral weight of my actions, the team discussed the mission afterward, and I returned to my duties, still grappling with the implications of that night.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Thinking back now, there were some things that happened outside that I there were some loud noises, some things, some some mistakes that I think may have spooked those guys into stomping those hostages down into a tunnel system down below. Essentially, like, okay. We're gonna clear this whole village now, which we did. As I'm doing my job, hopping from roof to roof, covering my eyes, I'm going like, this rush of just sort of stress comes over me because now it's soul time to go, did I know? Did I not know in that moment that 2 out of the 5 males were kids?
So I go running, get done running, get back to my house, look at my phone, there's a bunch of texts from him. I'm like, oh, shit. So I could call him, hey. What's going on? He said, hey.
We got some guys in different places trying to get back, but we could really use, you know, some planning help if you wanna help plan this thing. I was like, yeah. And then just kinda joking around. You know? I'm like, hey.
If I plan, do I get to go? Just I'm on term leave. Of course, I don't get to go. You know? And but he goes, hey.
Yeah. Hold on a second. So he puts the phone down for a second, couple minutes, comes back. He's like, yeah. You can go.
Like, holy shit. Alright. How long do I have to get there? You got all your shit ready? Yeah.
You probably better get here in, like, 45 minutes, you know, if you're gonna make this, bird. So I'm like, oh, shit. So that's how how much time I had to throw all my shit in the truck and tell my wife, hey. I'm gonna go do this thing. Are you okay with it?
She's like, holy shit. You we got through all of this. Yeah. I'm not gonna stop you from doing this one thing, but it's kinda the whole, like, team America thing. Like, just don't die.
You know? So I'm like, okay. I won't you know? Try my best. And I love you.
You know? And squeeze the boys and go. And so now that's how I ended up on the mission. So we fly over there, and you can find this in the news and shit. There was a hiccup with the staff for Obama and for him that we were in the air ready to jump when we got there.
And so we got pushed 24 hours because he was asleep in Martha's Vineyard, from what I understand. I don't know the details of that. I know there's a bunch of shit that I probably have no fucking clue how it works. You know? And we come down.
We push to the next night, and then we go. So I'm up there. I got a tandem medic on me, and I'm the point man for the for the op. You know? And I've got 3 other guys too.
I'm usually a team of 4. And up to the point anyways. So everything goes well. We jump. Great landing.
We get on this target. It's for this is the news too. 2 professors that were kidnapped from the University of Kabul days before. 1 was Australian, 1 was American. Kevin King and Timothy Weeks and found out that they're here.
Right? Probably being moved around different compounds on their way to cross the border of Pakistan and, you know, the network of dudes that do, you know, the most deviant shit with the Taliban, it's those guys. Right? Suicide bombers. You know?
You know, just all the all all the worst shit you can think of that happens. You know? Chopping off heads and whatever other kind of shit. I think that, honestly, actually was more in Iraq, but I don't know. So it's those guys.
Right? And so we're expecting some we're expecting a hard fight, maybe. And we all know if you have any experience with these guys in Afghanistan, with all the suicide bombs, the house born IEDs, all the shit we're, like, go really deliberate with when we go to these compounds. And we're looking for I mean, it's slow CQB. We're looking we're looking at every threshold for wires, for different you know, there's we started using, you know, motion sensors and, you know, you know, light sensor, like, photosensitive bulbs, you know, and pillows and shit like that to just blow.
Right? And there's so many ops where that happens. Right? So it's it's high tension, and we're expecting this shit. And we get down, and they're at a they're at a compound.
Right? Got a long walk in. Everything goes well. And then we get to you know, we see some some movement around, some guys that seem to have RPGs, motorcycles moving around. And then what I believe was going on based off of what what happened was that that was just normal shit going on because we were able to get all the way up to the target, sneaking up, and get up on top, and and get ready without anybody knowing anything.
Right? But there were a couple of noises, you know, that we made. The way that I go back to thinking about what actually happened happened on this op has a lot to do with you know, Kevin King never spoke much about it after. Maybe he's super traumatized by it. Maybe he's living his life, whatever.
But Timothy Weeks did speak up on it a bunch in a bunch of different interviews and news outlets. And, you know, I was in my contracting work after this op, And eventually, they they were cut a deal to be turned over and and traded and with the release of Anasa County, which is, you know, the leader. Mhmm. And a couple of other guys. And once that happened, pretty quickly, it went around even in the news, like, a little write up that he had of, like, what he thought happened on those different options.
There was a couple attempts, couple of failed attempts. And I pieced it together over time, what I thought really happened. Right? And so different ROEs or a hostage rescue. Totally different.
And every operator really understands, like, pretty in-depth, like, what those are. You have to. Right? You really talk about it. Because the mission is the hostages.
And on a hostage rescue, it's so hard to talk about, especially with people that don't understand the war and those things because one of only a couple of things is gonna happen. They're gonna kill the hostages if they know that you're you're there, which has happened. And that's a really hard thing for for for operators to deal with after. And or you're gonna rescue the hostages and kill all the bad guys. Great.
You know? Or the good guys might accidentally kill a hostage while they're on the doing the operation. That's happened before too. That's hard. So as an operator, you go through your decision making matrix to go, you know, like, hey.
My decision making has to be very precise here. Right? And this is where even more so than any other time or, like, there's no room for the soul, I think, in those. And that's a sacrifice that warriors have to make, in my opinion, to do what they do sometimes. And that's where the detachment from that is so hard afterwards to come back to.
Because you've just moments of detachment from that for so long over time. You know? And in history, some have been able to to figure that to stay attached and connected to to that soul while they're doing it. But, that just wasn't the case for what I where I was at. Right?
And what the guys around me were at and why it's so hard right now. Guys coming out. So we get up. I'm the 1st guy to touch the target. I I climb up, sneak up to the roof, my spot, And my job is to to protect the assaulters, right, and see what they can't see.
So we have another team coming around on our side a little delayed because they went a different way. They weren't sure if we had been, you know, compromised at all yet. My opinion is we still weren't. And so they climb up. They get set.
They get ready. In the meantime, I'm looking over down here, and there's 5 people sleeping in the courtyard. But we knew that. And on the way, trying to figure out who they are or what they are, making sure none of them are the hostages. Right?
And that there's a lot that goes into that identification. You know? Hair color, skin color. You know? What do they look like?
Is there any chance that they're they used to dress them up like in burkas. You know? So that we'd think that they were women. Right? So there there wasn't any of that.
They're all males. And through a process of that, you know, getting to a 100% clarity that, like, none of them are the hostages. But at the same time, you know, going, hey. The ROE the the the Intel is is saying that who these guys are and what what what networks they're part of. When they know we're here, they might blow up the whole fucking thing in themselves.
They're willing to do that, right, and all of us. And we've experienced that before. Or they're gonna fucking spray something from our you know, from their little sleeping nest. And in my job yeah. We're on a mission.
The hostages are the most important. But if I hesitate in a decision, dude, I've gone through this so much, and I'm gonna try my best here. Because I went through a whole process for years of, of of making sure I'm not justifying, but justifying and, like, going back and forth with my ego. Just just trying to understand this thing. But also for for so many years, I I was just coping with it with addictions and drinking my face off and just being lost with that new trauma.
Right? And figuring out if the decision I made was the right one because the decision that we I made was we're gonna kill these these these 5 males. Right? And eliminate any risk to those assaulters because if one gets hit because I hesitated on that decision, then I know they're wives. I know a bunch of them.
I know you know? They're all around our community. You know? And, fuck, that's my that's my job. Right?
So then I started to eventually separate this into a duty decision and a and a sole decision. Right? So when the breach goes off, I I'm eliminating those 5. So I and I did. Alright?
Thinking back now, there were some things that happened outside that I there were some loud noises, some things some some mistakes that I think may have spooked those guys into stomping those hostages down into a tunnel system down below. Because when couple years later when they got turned over, that reading that he the thing that he wrote was like, hey. The first time I woke up in the middle of the night and to getting kicked down a fucking hidden tunnel and was, like, knocked out and came back to and then as soon as I came back to, there was a loud explosion, which is the breach from what I I think. And so it wasn't, like, hours or days. It was it could've been seconds that we missed those guys.
Right? Mhmm. Maybe. Maybe not. So the breach goes off.
The assaulters come in. They get into a fight with a couple, couple of guys, eliminate them, and we're waiting to hear that, got them, you know, in that room. The beds are still warm. There's still food from whenever before, you know, exercise bike, whatever. And, hey.
They're not here. And that's when, essentially, like, okay. We're gonna clear this whole village now, which we did. And we've got other compounds we're we're looking at to, you know, go look at, to go do. And as I'm doing my job, hopping from roof to roof, covering my eyes, I'm going like, this rush of just sort of stress comes over me because now it's soul time.
Right? Because what I didn't know, what I don't what I think I didn't know. I still go through this to go, did I know? Did I not know in that moment that 2 out of the 5 males were kids. So in the moment, it doesn't affect me too much.
It's my job. You know, we wrap up that target. We get back. It's a failed hostage rescue. The team discusses like we always do.
Go, hey. Anybody have any issues with everything that went down tonight? Raise your hand. No. And even the guy who I I told you the platoon, she was like, man, I'm well, I brought it up because I didn't you know?
Hey. I I don't know. I think I, you know, I I know I did the right thing duty wise, but something here is fucking fucking me up right now. Right? And I'm, you know, I'm good.
You know, you good? I'm good. But I don't know what to say. What I what I feel is, like, hey. You did the right thing with that.
You know, when you breach in Afghanistan, it's a blind assault. There's fucking dust. It's like, there that those guys' clearance was like, you can't even see your hand in front of you. So imagine that, you know, hey. Feeling your way into bad guys, you know, and making sure they're not the hostage.
So that was that. The last I ever talked about it with anybody. The craziest thing was those guys got extended for a month to do more operations around this. Rangers get involved. Other guys get involved in, like, alright, guys.
I gotta go start my job in a fucking week and get back in time for it. So I fly back.

Speaker 0: Sam Shumate, welcome to the show, man. Appreciate it. Thank you. I'm nervous about this one.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Me
Speaker 0: too. I'm really nervous about this one. So yesterday, I come into work, and our stuff's been exploding because of the Sarah Adams, at Sarah Adams Scott man legend. Did an interview with Masood, kinda warning everybody about it's gonna be a lot of terrorism here in 2025. Didn't take long.
Jan 1, it hit. And, you know, it's interesting. We couldn't get any mainstream media's, outlets to pay attention to those interviews, and and nobody would really give Sarah a voice. Now everybody wants to give Sarah a voice because, oh, guess what? The fucking CIA targeter was actually right.
Mainstream media gave her no attention. So that's been going crazy. I come in yesterday and for an interview. The first thing I do is talk to my producer, Jeremy, and he says that he's been in contact with you and that you had received some type of manifesto or or email from the Green Beret that set off the car bomb at Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. Right.
Jump in an interview and come out. My phone is blown up. Apparently, CID, army CID, which is how would you describe? It's like the
Speaker 1: it's In FBI light. Yeah. We are federal agents, but, yeah, they
Speaker 0: The army's FBI. Yeah. I get all these messages from these people that say CID is talking to this person and that person, and one of these guys on the list is still, still operational, and they want his name redacted. And every green beret I know is texting me about this. Fucking it's really freaked me out, man.
It was like, wow. How how did this leak? Who's tracking my fucking phone? All that kind of stuff. So I just want to say thank you for being here because I was eavesdropping in on that conversation you had with Jeremy.
And this is a big story, man. This is big. Yes. Real big. And so thank you for being here.
Speaker 1: No, I appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 0: But I do before we get too heavy, I got some gifts for you. Here you go.
Speaker 1: Excellent. So we are
Speaker 0: talking about people monitoring the phone. Have you heard of the Unplugged phone? Yeah. And for anybody that wants to purchase this phone, you can get it at unplugged.com/shawnryan.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's awesome. Thank
Speaker 0: you. Yes. So the unplugged phone keeps Big Tech from monitoring your text and your calls. There's a secure messaging app in there. There's secure email.
So get that thing wired up and let's talk on that from now on. Okay. And then everybody gets a bag of these.
Speaker 1: Been waiting for this. Nice. This is awesome. Thank you.
Speaker 0: You're welcome. You're welcome. Very cool. But, alright. Let's dive into it.
This is gonna be kinda tough. We didn't have, like I said, I was interviewing yesterday. So we're kinda winging it here. Yeah. So before we jump in, I just want to say a couple of things about today and we are not necessarily validating what came in on that email.
There is some pretty alarming stuff that came out in the email about the drones that we are seeing on the East Coast and some capabilities that China has, capabilities that we have, some activity that went on in Afghanistan in 2019, which actually we do have news reports that that is valid. A lot of this stuff actually really lines up, but we can't give it 100% credibility. I think you would agree with that as an intelligence analyst. 100%. And then additionally, there are a few names too, I believe, that we are redacting from this because they are still operational.
And as much as I would love to release those names, we're not going to do it so that those guys can remain undercover and not burn their entire operation of what they're into right now. And there was one more thing. I want to give a little background on you. Retired from the Army in 2023 as a CW-two intelligence officer and understand the information war. In 2020, you were still on active duty.
You started a social media account where you intended to share memes and GIFs. Despite your intentions, the account grew into what is what it is today. You've developed what is the account's name?
Speaker 1: It's an Instagram account.
Speaker 0: It goes by terminal CWO. Terminal CWO. You've developed a robust network of service members across the Department of Defense who trust you with their reports of unethical and in some cases illegal behavior from their leaders. You expose the unethical and illegal behavior while protecting whistleblowers in order to hold military leaders accountable, which is why you received the email from the Green Beret. And because of your background, you come across wild information all the time.
You're here today because of an email you received from Matthew Livelsberger a couple of days before the Cybertruck bombing at Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. You'll also be able to discuss what you know about the terrorists who conducted the New Orleans attack. Did I miss anything?
Speaker 1: No. I produced that sums it up. Yeah. I'll give I'll give a background on on why that's significant so your viewers understand how this came into my into my inbox.
Speaker 0: Perfect. One other thing that I just wanted to say to the audience is even though we are redacting these names from the episode, I believe you passed that email on to the FBI. We We're also going to pass it on to our contacts at the FBI. It's very obvious that people know it. Like I said, the CID has been telling everybody.
In fact, we talked to Jeremy, who's sitting over there, my producer, me, him, and my attorney, Tim Parlatori, were up till about 10:30 last night talking to the chief of staff?
Speaker 2: The Army Chief of Staff PA.
Speaker 0: The Army Chief of Staff's POA, took a major interest in this as well. And, you know, one of the things that he said maybe I'll wait till later to bring that up. But he I don't know. I don't trust any of these people. I mean, public affairs officers are are there to
Speaker 1: I'll keep my mouth Yeah. Create Yeah. Create, PAO is is there to protect the command. Yeah. A 100% nothing else.
Yeah. They're not there to shed transparency on anything. They are there to protect the command.
Speaker 0: Let's recreate what the, what the story is. But and you know what's interesting? Fuck it. I'm just gonna say it. You know what he said?
He goes on the call, he said, I didn't talk to him. I didn't wanna talk to him. But, but, so I had them talk to him. He said, between me and you guys, this guy's this guy's DNA didn't match his son and and made it sound like it's some big secret. Then at 9:34 PM, I saw I think it was 9:34 PM.
The New York Post had a headline that said that this guy's so they're trying to make it sound like this guy did this because maybe he found out the sun wasn't his. But there's a lot more to this story as you'll find out. So yeah. So let's go to you, Sam. How did tell me how you got the email.
Speaker 1: Alright. So for context, I've run this account for the last four and a half years. There have been people in and out writing articles and different stuff and just investigations, some big, some small, just trying to keep accountability in the military, but developed a robust network within the military, all branches, and people feed into this and send me messages in here and there. Nothing ever like this has ever come in. But I get a I get a well, it started off as comments.
So when when you have a big Instagram account, you're gonna miss a lot of messages because people message, you know, go to hidden messages and everything else, you miss a lot of stuff. Well, I kept seeing this comment on recent posts that I put in there, and it was from this this burner account. It said, hey. Check your DMs. Check your DMs.
Check your DMs. So I go in there and try to find it, there's no message from this guy, hadn't come through or whatever, and then he messages again once that message was opened up, and I said, hey, your previous messages haven't come through, what? What do you wanna tell me? And he said, what I'm gonna send you now these are literally his words. What I'm going to send you is going to change the course of humanity.
That was his phrase, change the course of humanity. Okay. A little bit dramatic. I get these messages all the time. People have this big story they wanna tell.
They wanna expose their command, whatever. I take everything with a grain of salt until I have evidence and proof. So this guy is insistent. He tells me he tells me that he is a 18 Zulu who I've spoken to before, and he really needs to get this stuff to me. And then he talks about you.
He says, I need you to get me in contact with Sean Ryan. I'm, like, dude, I don't know Sean Ryan. I'm I'm not that big. But he's insistent that I get him diverted to media sources. Says, go to Fox News, whatever else.
And I said, alright. Tell me what you got. So I give him my Proton email account, give him my signal signal number, and, he reaches out immediately. And I'm gonna read this initial message for you because this doesn't have names or anything else on it, but this was his message on Sunday. He reached out and said like I said, Sunday, this last Sunday, he said, sending with a VPN active on Wi Fi only.
Do not message me. I will send out updates via both signal and email, but trust me, you're gonna wanna be involved. Well,
Speaker 0: first of
Speaker 1: all, no. I don't. I didn't wanna be involved. Anyways, and then so I didn't I didn't message. I I responded back to his original Instagram Instagram message, and I said, hey.
I got your message on protonmail. And he said, cool. Delete this. So I deleted it. That's how I ended up getting this message on Tuesday.
So the message that this this right here, this manifesto, if you wanna call it that, came in on Tuesday. And when I started reading this, my initial take was, okay, this is not the deep end. It's bonkers. I can't validate or verify any of the stuff in this manifesto.
Speaker 0: Mhmm.
Speaker 1: And I told him that in a subsequent email. And I'll I'll read that to you later, my response to him. And once again, my response to him elicited, hey. Get me in contact with Sean Ryan, Fox News, and even said Pete Hegseth. Get me in contact with Hegseth.
And I'm like, dude, I I don't have the incoming secretary of defense's phone number. Sorry, bro. That's the last time I talked to him. So yesterday morning What date was that? That was Tuesday.
That was day? This Tuesday. So we're Friday now. That was 3 days ago. So the day before 30th?
Yeah. The day before the attack. I dismissed this stuff out of hand. The 31st. It was on 31st.
Yes. In fact, I posted something on my and I told your producer about this as well. But this was a post I made on Twitter. I was just trying to be humorous, off the cuff. It was it didn't mean anything about it.
It was I was just being humorous for my audience. I said my inbox was especially eventful today. Allegations of war crimes, government anti gravity technology, and fears about being tracked and watched by the feds. It's always, the world is ending and I have this information that needs to get to the media and never, how you doing, brother? Everything alright?
I was just playing off of a meme. Mhmm. Just it was just supposed to be a joke. That was the body of his email that he sent me, and I didn't think anything about it. I didn't know who Matt Berg was, Matt Littlesberg, or anything else.
He told me who he was in the email. He pointed me to his LinkedIn account. I didn't know any of this stuff, and I was just kinda being humorous to my audience. Like, I get these crazy messages sometime. And then the day after that message, I wake up and my body was like, hey, Sam.
Nobody in the community seems to know this guy. Do you do you happen to know who he is? And I played that for you before we came up here. Just absolute shock. That's how I woke up yesterday.
Speaker 0: Do you
Speaker 1: wanna play it now? Yeah. Excuse my language. I was I was definitely in shock. Let me find this this chat.
So
Speaker 0: Now while you're digging through that, you know what we should do? I should get that Instagram account from you to see if they messaged any of our Instagram accounts. And we should also get that email address. Deleted it. You deleted it.
He told
Speaker 1: me to delete it, and I deleted it. Okay. Yeah.
Speaker 0: We should also get that email address and see if they sent it into the sent it in through the website and see if you tried to contact us, get that to get that to the FBI. So I'm in a
Speaker 1: I'm in a military actually do something. Yeah. I'm in a military group chat. Buddy, Green Beret, Corey, he says, at Sam. No nobody I've asked in the community knows him.
You? He was at 8:40 8:46 AM yesterday. So I woke up and I said, o f. I'm shaking. This guy emailed me 2 days ago.
I'm not playing. And then he said, damn. And then this was my response to him at 8:48. Like, just woke up. I'm fucking shaking, bro.
You you don't understand. This guy emailed me and told me he was being watched by the FBI and Homeland Security, but they weren't gonna do anything to him because he had a v bid. I'm not fucking playing, dude. I have the email. I am shaking, man.
This is this is nuts. It goes from there, and and I I sat there for probably an hour talking about why I'm shaking. I I can't even think straight. Like, normal day is shot, and I I didn't know what I wanna do. Do I sit on this?
Do I do nothing with it? I've I've gotta tell somebody. I've gotta tell the FBI at least because this is huge. This is all over the news. And then I was like, well, dude, this guy wanted to get in contact with Sean Ryan, so let me get this to Sean Ryan, see if I can get with him.
And I had a buddy who knew your producer, and we went from there. But Wow. Wow.
Speaker 0: Do you wanna read the the the email?
Speaker 1: Yep. So this email came in on December 31st at 10:42 AM. That is Tuesday. He said, in case I do not make it to my decision point or onto the Mexico border, I am sending this now. Please do not release this until 1 January and keep my identity private until then.
First off, I am not under duress or hostile influence or control. My first car was a 2006 black Ford Mustang V6 for verification. What we have been seeing with drones, he puts that in quotes, he says drones, is the operational use of gravitic propulsion systems powered aircraft by most recently China and the East Coast, but throughout history, the US. Only we and China have this capability. Our ops send, that's operation center, our ops send location for this activity in the in is in the box below.
China has been launching them from the Atlantic from submarines for years, but this activity recently has picked up. As of now, it is just a show of force, and they are using it similar to how they use the balloon for SIGINT and ISR, which are also part of the integrated comm system. There are dozens of those balloons in the air at any given time. The so what is because of the speed and stealth of these unmanned aircraft. They are the most dangerous threat to national security that has ever existed.
They basically have an unlimited payload capacity and can park it over the White House if they wanted. It's Checkmate. US government needs to give the history of this, how we are employing it and weaponizing it, how China is employing them, and what they and what the way forward is. China is poised to attack anywhere in the East Coast. I've been followed for over a week now from likely Homeland or FBI, and they are looking to to move on me and are unlikely going to let me cross into Mexico, but won't because they know I am armed and I have a massive VBID.
Let me pause right there for a second. So he says a massive VBID. When I was talking to the FBI yesterday, they didn't know what a VBID was. I had to explain what that acronym meant, literally. You fucking serious.
Dead serious. I said it twice and he goes, you said that word VBID. Can you tell me what that is? For your audience, a VBID. For your audience who has not been in the guac for the last 20 years, a VBID is a vehicle borne, improvised explosive device.
In layman's terms, a car bomb, what we saw at Trump Tower. So backing up, he says, I am armed and have a massive v bid. I've been trying to maintain a very visible profile and have kept my phone, and they are definitely digitally tracking me. Here's where he gets into the other stuff, and this is where we had to redact the names, Wally. Here's where it gets into the other stuff, and this is where we had to redact the names.
Well, your producer redact the names. I have knowledge of this program and also war crimes that were covered up during air strikes in Nimrud province, Afghanistan in 2019 by the admin, DOD, DEA, and CIA. I conducted targeting for these strikes of over 125 buildings, 65 were struck because of civ cast, that's civilian casualties, that killed 100 of civilians in a single day. USFORA continued strikes after spotting civilians on initial ISR. It was supposed to take 6 minutes and scramble all aircraft in CENTCOM.
The UN basically called these war crimes, but the administration made them disappear. I was part of that cover up with USFORA and agent, redacted, of the DEA. So I don't know if my abduction attempt is related to either. I worked with redacted. I owe staff on this as well as the response to Balaamirgaab.
Redacted commander at the time, redacted, can validate this. You need to elevate this to the media so we avoid a world war because this is a mutually assured destruction situation. Then he says, for vetting, my LinkedIn is Matt Berg or Matthew Lippelsberger, an active duty 18 Zulu out of 110, that's First Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group. My profile is public. I have an active TSSCI with UAP, USAP access.
Speaker 0: What is USAP? Do you know what
Speaker 1: that is? I don't know what that is. But I checked his credentials on LinkedIn. So that was the first thing I did. I went to his LinkedIn page.
First thing I noticed was all of his bonus feeds were in were in place. He has all the UAS training from USASOC and everything else, and so I said, okay. At least the guy knows what he's talking about with drones. That was a very rough dig into the guy, but my issue was I couldn't validate or verify any of this information, and I told him that. And how I responded to him was in a subsequent email.
I said I said, this is obviously a very big deal, but I don't have anything to verify this information with. Talking about gravitic propulsion systems without evidence just makes me another UFO talking head. Like, I'm I'm not gonna go on my social media page and start talking about UFOs and anti gravity systems and everything. I don't I don't know what you're talking about. I can't and he said, can I get on Fox News contact on signal as well as Sean's show?
Hegseth would be good too. That was his last message to me. Wow.
Speaker 0: Yeah. You know, the thing is, what is a gravitic propulsion system?
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, it is a it is a fancy term you're gonna find in science fiction. You won't find it in any as as far as I know, you won't find this in any kind of official manual or, you know, scientific research. This is all science fiction. So but what struck me is his use. What strikes me now, not then, but what strikes me now is his use of a very specific term that nobody else call it.
If you ask me, I would say an anti gravity Yeah. Propulsion system. That's how I would describe it because I don't know this stuff. He said gravitic propulsion system.
Speaker 0: We looked that up last night too, and all we could find out was was same thing, science fiction type stuff. But, you know, there are some things that line up. One is, like I had mentioned well, let's talk about the guy's story. Obviously, he had a VBID. Obviously, he was in the military and served.
And the thing that he was talking about in 2019, we pulled a report. This is from October 9, 2019. UN report find alleged drug facilities were not lawful target, airstrikes caused and caused significant civilian casualties. The United Nations special report, which examines the impact on civilians of the United States' airstrikes on alleged drug processing facilities on 5 May 2019 in Afghanistan determines the operation caused a large number of civilian casualties. The report also examines the legal framework of applicable to this incident.
In June 2019, the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, together with representatives of the Afghan of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission, conducted a site visit to areas impacted by the strikes in Farah province, Baqwa district as part of its extensive fact finding into the 5 May incident. The UN verified 39 civilian casualties, among them 14 children, 1 woman, from multiple airstrikes on more than 60 sites that the United States, Afghanistan identified as drug production facilities in Bakuah district and in parts of neighboring Delaram district of Nimraz province. Moreover, the UN is working to verify credible reports of at least 37 additional civilian casualties, the majority of whom were women and children. Although airstrikes on the alleged drug processing facilities had taken place before, this was the first time that UNAMA had received reports of large number of civilian casualties resulting from such an operation, and it goes on. I'm not going to read all this.
We'll link the article here. So that 100% lines up. The other thing that really struck me is like I had mentioned after our phone call, jumped in an interview. After the interview, checked my phone. And I had several Green Berets, former Green Berets, one still active.
Actually, I'm just going to say it was Tim Kennedy, sent me a message late last night about 9 pm and said, hey, The I should have brought my phone up here. But, hey. Basically, that the the USAA wants to give me more context on what had happened on this guy. And so first, I wasn't gonna take the call because I don't like I don't trust the government anymore. I don't think anybody does.
But I was on the phone with my producer, who was the naval surface warfare officer and, my attorney, Tim Parlatori, they said we should talk to him. So I called Tim, was really pissed off, reamed his ass about it, and then later apologized. But, you know, I think you had said you had mentioned that nobody you had received a message from somebody that says nobody's heard of this guy. Tim sent me a picture of him working shooting with this guy. And I don't know if I should release that photo or not.
But Tim basically told me this. So I got the POA's number. The public affairs officer sent it to, Jeremy and Tim. He talked to them. And what they wanted us to know was that this guy was an upstanding soldier and excellent operator, was moving towards retirement and moving on to basically enhance the future of warfare.
They wanted us to know that. Then the PAA officer, sounds like almost jokingly said, which I don't know why you would joke about this, said that, oh, and between us, which why the fuck would a POA officer say between us? I mean, if they didn't want us to know that information, then they just wouldn't have told us that. But they wanted us to know, obviously, that the DNA with his with his with his supposed child, was not a match. And so I think what they were trying to do is basically make this out to be, oh, this is why this happened.
He got bad news that that's not his child. And so that's why he did it. But with all the other context, especially with the 2019 incident, which was obviously a cover up, I think that has a major role in this. The other thing is I started receiving a lot of messages from one of the redacted names who's a DEA agent, the one that he's talking about in the email to you. We got it from multiple sources, one of which was actually a videographer for me, I think, 4 years ago.
He worked for me a very short period of time. I had to let him go. He went to he joined the army, went to OCS, became an army officer, sent me a text, super freaked out. Apparently, he was on some rafting trip with somebody that knows the DEA officer and said, hey. This guy is still operational.
He wants his name redacted. Wow. Not the only one. Then I received a message from another, very close friend of mine, who's been on the show several times saying that he got word that this guy was still operational. And so that's why we decided to redact his name.
I was getting upset because we didn't I didn't receive any communication up to that point. Well, then I checked my LinkedIn. I said, let me see if this guy actually messaged me. Sure as shit. That DEA agent did message me, said that he wanted to talk to me before tomorrow's interview.
It was really important. Wow. We tried to contact him, not from my phone. I'm not calling any of these people. But, from somebody else's phone, he didn't pick up.
And, we weren't gonna send any text thread, to show any communication between us any more than the LinkedIn message. And I didn't hit him on LinkedIn. So that also 100% checks out. Now the weird thing is, as anonymous as this guy wants to remain, if I remember correctly, he posted something about the Green Beret that that
Speaker 1: that So did he?
Speaker 0: Yeah. That was his latest post. Well, Jeremy, what was it? What did the post been,
Speaker 1: and it
Speaker 2: was just a report of the story.
Speaker 0: It was just yeah. It was just a report of the story. So very interesting how all this stuff is lining up. What do you what do you think?
Speaker 1: I I told the guys down the this downstairs, you know, I I jokingly said this to my wife the day that I got that email because I read the email to her. You all have heard the email now. You you realize without context of who this person is, how just crazy it sounds. And I I told her, I said, well, I mean, I guess if the dude ends up getting rolled up by the feds or he gets killed, we, we got a story. Man, famous last words.
Right? Yeah. That's, so I looked at and I wanna give context on one of the things. I saw this. I saw this going around on social media.
People were saying that his signal chat, his safety number changed. I don't know if you saw this on x, but it was all over x. Apparently, his safety number on signal changed. He messaged me on signal. So I went on there to look myself to see if it changed, and sure enough, it had.
On January 1st, after the bombing, after he was dead, his safety number changed. That's all he sent me. He said initial contact, and I gave a thumbs up, and his safety number changed at the bottom. Look at that. That's after he's dead.
I I don't know enough about signal to know why that would happen. Somebody has to have manipulated that though and messed with it. Somebody had to have been in his account after the fact and done something for that to have changed.
Speaker 0: What did the FBI say when he contacted him?
Speaker 1: Not a lot. I gave him I gave him the story on what went down, was very over the top telling them, hey. I am being transparent in every way. Feel free to contact me at any time, this is my address, my name, this is why he contacted me, this is my social media page, this is any reason why this could have happened, why I this got dumped on me, this is the information. They took it.
They were gracious. They were nice to talk to. Mind you, I had to explain what a VBID was, which was disheartening because you're the FBI, but that's that's another issue altogether. But, nothing beyond that. They said thank you, and we'll be in touch if we have any further questions.
Speaker 0: Well, they definitely got in touch with CID. Yeah, they did. Because that went all the way to the top of the Army. And I'm going to dig in a little bit more on this report from 2019. However, according to international law, including international customary law, facilities that contribute economically or financially to the war effort of a party to a conflict are considered civilian objectives.
The report jointly produced by UNAMA and the UN Human Rights Office concludes that the drug facilities associated with workers may not be lawfully made the target of attack and should be protected. The United Nations maintains that considering these objectives and individuals, legitimate targets dangerously erode the fundamental principle of distinction placing the broader civilian population and infrastructure at risk. The report sets out a number of recommendations including that the appropriate and legal response to illicit drug activity is through law enforcement, not military operations that endanger civilians.
Speaker 1: Well, and here's the thing. We wanna know why the DOD is scrambling on this, why the FBI pushed this to them so quickly to CID all the way up to the very top. These are very, very serious allegations.
Speaker 0: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is like UN level opening an investigation type stuff into alleged war crimes. This is no joke.
Speaker 0: It did happen. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The ripple effect is going to be massive on this.
Speaker 0: It did happen. I think we should take a quick break. I want to scrape our email to see if this Green Beret, what's his name again? Matt Littlesberger. Matt Littlesberger.
Let's see if Matthew Littlesberger sent us an email through our through our through our website, email desk. We'll be right back.
Speaker 3: I know everybody out there has to be just as frustrated as I am when it comes to the BS and the rhetoric that the mainstream media continuously tries to force feed us. And I also know how frustrating it can be to try to find some type of a reliable news source. It's getting really hard to find the truth and what's going on in the country and in the world. And so one thing we've done here at Sean Ryan Show is we are developing our newsletter. And the first contributor to the newsletter that we have is a woman, former CIA targeter.
Some of you may know her as Sarah Adams. Call sign's super bad. She's made 2 different appearances here on the Sean Ryan show, and some of the stuff that she has uncovered and broke on this show is just absolutely mind blowing. And so I've asked her if she would contribute to the newsletter and give us a weekly intelligence brief. This is gonna be all things terrorists, how terrorists are coming up through the southern border, how they're entering the country, how they're traveling, what these different terrorist organizations throughout the world are up to.
And here's the best part, the newsletter is actually free. We're not gonna spam you. It's about 1 newsletter a week, maybe 2 if we release 2 shows. The only other thing that's gonna be in there besides the intel brief is if we have a new product or something like that. But like I said, it's a free CIA intelligence brief.
Sign up. Link's in the description or in the comments. We'll see you in the newsletter. Join me and my special guest for the next behind the scenes experience exclusively available on Vigilance Elite Patreon. The behind the scenes footage is raw and uncut.
This is as close to the set as you can possibly get. You can expect anything from off topic conversations, studio tours, the final moments before the interview starts, and everything in between. The behind the scenes content is constantly evolving and will continue to bring you more as we grow. You can gain access for just $15 a month exclusively at Vigilance Elite Patreon.
Speaker 0: Alright, Sam. We're back from the break. We did, do a scrape of the email. Here is what we got. He actually did email us.
This came in on December 29, 2024 at 10:17 PM, emailed through the support desk on, seanrionshow.com. And by the way, all these emails will be posted on my ex account, seanrion 762, and your ex account, same as her. Alright. Here's the message traffic. Hey, man.
This is an active duty SFTM sergeant out of 10th. I want to blow the whistle on our activities in a certain place. I'm willing to sit down with you on the 31st in Flagstaff or do it remotely via phone. Must be done before 31st as I'll be leaving. So we'll be sending this to the FBI as well.
Love your contact. I'm also gonna gonna hit some people I know over there, but I just you know, these people don't always talk. So Yeah. I think it'll be good to keep some continuity here. But so we did receive an email.
What was this guy's You deleted the message.
Speaker 1: The the burner account on there, I did. He told me to delete it, and I did. It's a common practice. People get spooked, and they want it deleted, so I do it for him.
Speaker 0: Yeah. I was gonna throw that up there, but there's tens of thousands of messages in there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 0: I mean, it's very obvious why he did this, I think. He wanted to bring attention to the incident in 2019 that got covered up. Do you have any Yeah. Any insight? Any any theories on this?
Speaker 1: So we had a a running theory downstairs. I've seen all of the conspiracies. I've seen all the questions about alright. This guy is what? 20 year special forces.
He just got done with team sergeant time. He's a he's a very qualified and very capable Green Beret. Everybody I've spoken to who who knew the guy prior yesterday, I spoke to several people to include his his old team leader who's now lieutenant colonel. Said he was fine, nothing out of place, his his mental state was not something that anybody was concerned about. His ex girlfriend posted, photos of him bragging about how he got a Tesla and all this other stuff, so so stick with me here.
Very capable guy, but he loads the Tesla up, a Tesla, which Elon Musk brags about being bulletproof. Right? So this is one of his his selling points, his bulletproof. He even saw Joe Rogan shoot an arrow at it and wasn't able to puncture this thing. So he loads up a Tesla knowing that it's gonna, you know, not not explode like he wants it to with fireworks and and a bunch of other junk when he can make a car bomb that's gonna level this place.
Here's what I think. So the PAO, the army PAO is saying that the body inside the cab did not match the DNA of his child. Alright. We also know that there was no he he they said he was shot by a desert eagle. We know that there was no signature when it rolled up, so nobody shot themselves when it rolled up to it.
You would have seen a large signature. Mister guns in gear, he's on x. He goes into this a lot in-depth. He's a firearms expert, and he talks about this. There's no signature.
So this is what happens. You get a Tesla because you know it can drive itself up to the hotel the the Trump Tower. You put a body in it, roll it up, it's already burned up, or it's already shot. Excuse me. You don't wanna kill anybody because that's not the message you're trying to send.
You're not trying to level the tower or kill a bunch of people, so you load it up with fire or fireworks and a bunch of junk to send a message, and we know that his signal number or his signal safety number changed. That can't be done unless you're inside that signal account. And a lot of people conjecture was the FBI inside a signal account, whatever else. But what if he accidentally changed his safety number, goofed up there, he rolled a body up in a Tesla specifically because a Tesla can drive itself up to the tower and did what he did to send a message to expose this stuff, and he's still alive out there somewhere. Well, the other thing answered a lot
Speaker 0: of questions. The other thing is maybe the FBI wasn't in his phone. Maybe I mean, this guy is obviously very competent. I mean, he was he's got a TSSCI clearance Very. Where the polygraph It's been associated with USASOC.
Obviously, he was on this operation in 2019. By the way, the general in charge of that was General Miller. You'll see that in the email that we post on X later after this interview comes out. You know, maybe he changed his number on purpose and switched phones because he obviously was tipped off or or conducted his own counter surveillance and caught Homeland or FBI tracking him. And so I think there's a very good possibility that this that that Matthew Littlesberger might be still alive.
Speaker 1: It checks as far as I can tell, it checks all the blocks.
Speaker 0: The Desert Eagle. You know, the Desert Eagle. I mean, yeah, a little over the top firearm. But if you think about it, if he was going to kill himself or whoever was in that car was going to kill himself look. If I was gonna if I was gonna commit suicide with a firearm, I will go with the biggest possible bullet caliber of bullet that I could to make sure that it actually worked because I wouldn't wanna be sitting there choking all over myself with a fucking 9 mil or something.
True. So that is as far as I as far as I know, a 50 caliber Desert Eagle is the biggest handgun caliber that you can get. And so that that could play into this as well. But
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on.
Speaker 0: Was there something in that email again, that said that this would prevent World War 3 with the UAP Well, he
Speaker 1: didn't say it would prevent World War 3, but he was asking that he said you need to elevate this to the media to the media so we avoid a world war because this is a mutually assured destruction situation.
Speaker 0: I wonder what he's trying to do with these what he's trying to tell us with these drones. I oh, man.
Speaker 1: I I I hesitate to to even get into this realm because I have no expertise in drones or just call it alien technology, UFO technology, whatever's going on here. But here's here's one thing that I talked about with the guys downstairs earlier. Several weeks ago, I don't know if you saw that video. It was a New Jersey sheriff or chief of police, I can't remember which, but he flew their own drone up, their own department drone up to try to figure out what was going on. So we had all these drone issues that were being sighted off in New Jersey and everything, and what he commented on on video was, how fast these things were.
He said, we have we have a pretty robust drone and they flew it up there to try to catch these drones that were there and they just, bam, they were gone. He said there was no catching them, never seen anything like it, they don't even know they have no idea what that could have been. And so you have this this capability that is I guess, in line with what we hear about anti gravity being, and I don't know. It makes you wonder.
Speaker 0: Well, you have the stuff with Brian Graves and, is it Dan Dan Favor? Dave Favor?
Speaker 2: Commander David Favor.
Speaker 0: The commander David Favor, who, you know, on the was it the Nimitz?
Speaker 2: It was in the Nimitz strike group in 2004.
Speaker 0: Yeah. The Nimitz strike group in 2004 that that reported those UAPs coming out of the water and had no propulsion system. I remember that. But, and it's interesting that nobody seems to know what the drones are and it just kind of disappeared out of the media. And the other thing is we do have the capability to take these drones out.
While everybody was trying to figure out what the drone's on, I brought on a very prominent businessman, Joe Lonsdale, who is the cofounder of a company called Epirus. Epirus is a they manufacture these directed EMP weapons that can take out a 100 drones at a time with a with a basically, it sends out a simultaneous different directed EMP weapons, brought him on. He's also founder of Palantir, big AI platform that the military has been using that kind of revolutionized warfare. Big fan. So we could have taken those drones out in any moment in time.
In fact, I know those are deployed. So, that could be so he had 2 objectives. 1, he wanted definitely wanted to bring light to 2019. That obviously affected, his his code of morale, morals, and and the drones. Yeah.
And he's obviously very worried about World War 3, which I think everybody right now but why why Trump Hotel? Why Las Vegas?
Speaker 1: Yeah. I conjecture speculation at this point. I couldn't even tell you. You know, I've heard I've heard both sides. I've I've seen I've seen them finding posts from his wife who's very allegedly I'm I'm not saying this.
I'm just saying what what has been put out on social media is very anti Trump. She has had a number of anti Trump posts, and and then him who his his family, say are is a stalwart, patriot, Trump supporter, all these other things, which I guess if I had to guess just in the realm of conjecture again, I would say Trump Tower. It it draws more media, more fanfare, was this assassination temp, that kind of stuff. So you get more impressed, more media pulling into it because it is such a significant namesake, if you will, but at the same time, it was a fireworks display and very little more. And if I'm running with the theory that I proposed a little while ago, he didn't wanna hurt anybody.
He wanted to send a message.
Speaker 0: No, I mean, it's very obvious. Look, the guy's got great trade craft. I mean, he changed his signal number if that was him or whatever the contact number on signal, 20 plus year in special operations at the highest level, picked a car that's bulletproof to do this. I think, yeah, there definitely wasn't mass casualties. He wasn't trying to hit mass casualties because otherwise he would have done it at another location as well or the bomb would have been bigger to take the entire building out.
And so this definitely wasn't in my opinion, this definitely wasn't incompetence.
Speaker 1: Another thing to support this, so you got the email. He desperately wanted to talk to you before December 31st. He knew he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt January 1st with Go Day. This is nobody was pressuring him. At the beginning of this email, we see, first of all, I'm not under duress or hostile influence or control.
Okay? So he says that he he reached out to you. He was very emphatic that it had to be before December 31st because he was doing this thing on January 1st. For some reason, that was a a landmark day to him. Maybe it was just because big big day for everybody, January 1st.
But he was very emphatic that that was the time, and then the thing he was trying to do was overall, more than anything, was get a message across on the biggest platforms possible. He's trying to talk to Pete Pete Hegseth. Why would you wanna talk to the secretary of defense? He's trying to blow the whistle on these war crimes. He's trying to say this thing happened, man.
Like, I can't live with this anymore. He he need desperately needed to talk to you, the biggest platform out there. He needed to talk to Fox News. I need to get this message out. That was his overall goal.
In everything else, everything I've seen, I have not seen the intended goal was to kill himself or to to create a mass casualty event. It is to get this message out, and how can I how can I do that? What is the biggest bang for my buck? How can I get that done? That's what I'm seeing here.
Speaker 0: Yeah. Yeah. It's a damn good point. Wow. Wow.
Speaker 1: Do you
Speaker 0: think there was any correlation between him and the New Orleans attack? No. I don't either.
Speaker 1: I looked at all that. I looked at the post. I looked at the you know, people are scrambling for for news. Everybody wants to post something. They wanna be the guy on social media to post the groundbreaking thing, and I saw all these connections to Fort Bragg, and they deployed together at this time.
Great. So did half a 1000000 of the rest of us. I was at Fort Bragg. Oh, man. Tie me to Delta Force.
I must have been part of Delta Force in some size. No. I had nothing to do with them. You know, it's this nonsense. It's a big it's a big organization.
The army is very large. You're you're you're picking things out and you're trying to make this a thing. That that New Orleans guy was a staff sergeant who got out of the active duty army in 2015, and he was in the reserves until 2020. People are saying in the last year, he was radicalized. I talked to multiple of his peers to include I'm gonna be very, very careful with this, former leadership, I'm not gonna give what echelon they were at, former leadership of his, there was no indication at all back then that he was radicalized, he didn't say I've seen the posts.
I saw several people who were saying, well, we have confirmed posts that he was saying radical Islamic things. I don't believe it. Because nobody he worked with confirmed that. They said no. We we had no indication that he was like this.
And if you talk to people now, they said in the last year, he was radicalized. He started taking on these more radical teachings of Islam and everything else, and he had this he he fell into financial hardship and all these other things. So you're telling me this guy who was a former former 42 Alpha s one guy, human resources, pushes your paper, and then an IT guy, 25 Bravo, is somehow connected to a Green Beret team sergeant out of 10 no.
Speaker 0: Well, also they found an ISIS flag in New Orleans, which they didn't find any of that here.
Speaker 1: I think that might have been just some silliness on his part trying to take on some kind of Islamic banner of Jihad. I would conjecture all conjecture say that that is likely he has no affiliations to ISIS. But I wonder
Speaker 0: I don't really believe in coincidences and both of these explosions happened in the same day or both of these attacks, whatever you want to call them, happened on the same day, the attack and the explosion, which obviously wasn't meant to be an attack.
Speaker 1: That's fair. And I don't believe in coincidences either normally, but I look as a landmark day like January 1st, and I think what better day? Any day. I'm gonna do a thing January 1st.
Speaker 0: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I think I think possibly, old boy in New Orleans had help. I I don't think that he could have done all the spotting and surveying and assessing himself. He would have likely had to at least had a spotter to to say, yeah, you're good to go. Maybe. But I think that's plausible.
But other than that, I have a hard time making that connection.
Speaker 0: You know, this email, I wonder who else you reached out to. This came in from dabbergmibormlb@protonmail.com. So he was even using an encrypted email service, but which I think everybody everybody in intelligence and special operations knows what protonmail is.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I would imagine if Joe Rogan, Fox News, name some other big names out there, scrub their emails right now, they could probably find a message from this guy. Yeah. He came to me because I'm like delist media. I'm the guy who has kind of a platform on social media, but I'm not big time, but I can kinda get things to the big time every once in a while if it's a big enough story, and that's what he was hoping for.
He was just throwing mud at the wall trying to get somebody to get his message out.
Speaker 0: Well, it's gonna be big time now. Yeah. But is there anything else we need to cover that you can think of? Jeremy?
Speaker 2: Did you wanna go into the other item we talked about in the in the ride over here this morning?
Speaker 1: Oh, the Mhmm.
Speaker 0: Can I
Speaker 1: say it?
Speaker 0: Yes.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The man pads. Well, I'm unfamiliar. Alright. So I'm saying this with you can you can decide the users or cut it out.
There was there was, a this is this is hard to work with because keep in mind let me give some background on this. I'm an intelligence analyst, and I've spent a long many years validating sources, taking information in, putting it back out, telling my humanters, hey this source this is valid, let's give him a rating of this, do this, this, this recommendations, so we can identify good sources in the field that give us information and we can say, yes this is an a source versus an f 6, This is just garbage. Somebody got paid for something. I still work in intelligence. I'm an intelligence officer.
I work for a nonprofit. We we, Remnant Ministries out of Texas. In fact, the the website is in my bio on x. I work with doctor I work for doctor Pete Chambers, Green Beret, and we were involved in counter human trafficking along with just providing ministry to all kinds of stuff, border operations. Most recently, we've been involved in West North Carolina a great deal.
And we we had some confirmed reporting through 2 solid sources, and this is where I have to be very iffy. And I told him in the car and he can tell you offline, I cannot say this on the air, but we had 2 solid sources, 1 south of the border and then one from an element within our own government that confirmed independently of each other that some, Iranian made man pads, so surface to air missiles had come across the border. We had the location and everything else. Well, Doc, that's that's what he goes by. Doc Chambers, he put this out on a podcast, and I I was very emphatic, like, this is not stuff that I like to put on social media.
Mhmm. I'm I'm an intel guy by trade. I this stuff is not for social media consumption. We got this to secret service. We did the the whole the whole gamut and got everything pushed to them, and that's why Trump was pushing a lot of this stuff out when he was because we had told the secret service and they had the reporting and everything else.
But we we have not, to my knowledge, have not recovered those man pads. Now I'm not privy to that, but what I do know we have done is we have apprehended the couriers on a second run of theirs and we have local law enforcement got together with federal law enforcement and and rolled up the safe house in, will not say that on on this show, but they rolled up the safe house where it was. And we have since identified what that that issue was on the border.
Speaker 0: Let me let me let me let me just where did they come through?
Speaker 1: They came through an actual point of entry in a legal point of entry along the border. I'd have to I'd have to pull up the original reporting, but we had the the actual
Speaker 0: So we now have Iranian missiles,
Speaker 1: who
Speaker 0: knows how many inside the United States?
Speaker 1: That that is not something you're gonna see in a lot of places. I didn't like I said, I didn't even wanna talk about it. It was one of those things where I was just amplifying what he was putting out already because I was like, man, I don't know about putting this out. But it was it was something we found was was pertinent because at the time, Trump was still campaigning. He was flying around, and there was the the reports were their intent was to take down Trump's airplane.
So at the time, secret service switched things up a bit and, allegedly, from what I've told, they they started flying him around on charters for a while until they could identify and kinda mitigate that threat. But that was that was the reporting stream that was coming out of the time. Feds handled it off my plate.
Speaker 0: You know, I mean, I'm with you on the not releasing certain things on social media. I understand that. But on the other way on the other hand, it seems to be the only way to demand any type of accountability or get this and and enforce FBI, Homeland, whoever else is involved to dive into this shit and actually take part. And that's what we've been doing here on the show with Scott Mann, retired Lieutenant Colonel Green Beret, Sarah Adams, former agency targeter. We brought on Legend, who's an army intelligence guy who goes by Legend because he doesn't wanna reveal his name because he still is very involved.
And we even went all the way to Vienna to to interview Commander Masood, the leader of the the the National Resistance Front in Afghanistan. And, we've been talking about this stuff for a year. We got it to Congress. Congressman out of Knoxville, Tennessee, Tim Burchard, sent a bill up. It's literally about about we need to stop funding the Taliban $40,000,000 to $87,000,000 a week.
The Taliban has set up multiple NGOs within Afghanistan, and basically what we're doing is sending loads of cash to NGOs that the Taliban had set up. We're funding our own demise, and nobody's fucking paying attention. Nobody's paying attention. We tried to get it in the media. We got a little bit of hits.
Most of them were from from outside the US. We had a report around India kinda cover it. But we've been warning about what's happening for damn near a year now. Sarah first came on, I believe it was October of 2023, was her first interview. And nobody took it seriously.
Now we have the New Orleans attack. We have we have Iranian missiles. We have these invisible bombs. Do you know about the invisible bombs? So now that now these terrorist organizations have developed invisible bombs that will get through metal detectors, any kind of screening device that that's out there, and they brag about this.
And now we just did a Twitter Spaces with Sarah Adams, and they are now bragging that that what we know about the invisible bomb, it's now even more advanced than it was before. So that means they can get this into stadiums. They can get this into airports. They can get this pretty much anywhere they want because you cannot detect it.
Speaker 1: That's that's scary.
Speaker 0: Yeah. So, you know, for the people out there, you know, look, there's no stopping what's here. You cannot stop this.
Speaker 1: Nope. You can't roll back.
Speaker 0: Not with what we have already in here. We have sleeper cells. We're already getting reports that I just lost my train of thought. Oh, we're already getting some reports that there may be a bit more involved in the Louisiana, New Orleans attack that they're not releasing. We also I'll tell you this, there's a group of people flying around and and basically briefing up different departments, governors about what's coming, how to deal with it in their communities.
There are deputies in New Orleans who put in requests for training on how to take care of a threat like this, and those fucking requests requests were denied. They were denied. And so what I basically wanna say is it's gonna be a bloody 2025. I think that's very obvious. And so for those of you that are looking for something to do and and if if if finally come to the realization that our government is failing us, here's what you need to do.
You need to get with your local communities. You need to especially schools. Schools are very vulnerable no matter how many no matter how many active shooters we have in the schools. The the the infrastructure that's been put in, which is minimal to none. A lot of schools still have none.
You better start holding your schools accountable, and you better start raising hell and having them upgrade security no matter what the cost. Because no matter what the cost is, it's not gonna it's it's not gonna amount to the loss of life that that we will potentially see, throughout the United States. And so and start calling your congressman. Get these guys to do something. Yeah.
Start calling your senators. Get these guys to do something. They have been warned for over a year that this is coming, and nobody wants to take it seriously. Nobody wants to take it seriously. We contacted the House of Foreign Affairs Committee.
They did, like, a Zoom call. A Zoom call. Yeah. That's a Just just for a little media hit, our government is failing us. And so it's in our hands now.
It's your kids. It's your wife. It's your husband. It's your parents. They're gonna pay the price for what we have installed in this country.
And it's it's it's now up to us because they aren't gonna do anything. So on that note, like I said, it'll be on my ex account, Sean Ryan 762. The emails will be there. The footage will be there. Any any of the stuff we talked about will be there.
It'll be, obviously, you know, on audio, on YouTube. And your accounts on Instagram and x are
Speaker 1: I just focus on x as Samasaur. If you wanna follow the the military nonsense, it's terminal c w o on Instagram.
Speaker 0: Perfect. Well, we'll link those below. And, once again, Sam,
Speaker 1: I really appreciate you coming
Speaker 0: out. Absolutely, man. Okay. I wonder if this fucking guy is still alive. I I do.

I encourage everyone to spend at least 45 minutes to understand the recent developments surrounding Matt Livelsberger, a former Green Beret. He sent a manifesto to @samosaur, claiming it would "change the course of humanity." This follows his alarming act of driving a Tesla Cybertruck filled with explosives to Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. The manifesto raises serious concerns about his motivations and includes claims about advanced drone technology, U.S. war crimes in Afghanistan, and China's gravity propulsion systems. I will share all related emails and attachments.
@ShawnRyan762 - Shawn Ryan
I urge everyone to dedicate at least 45 minutes to fully grasp the details that have unfolded over the past few days. This episode takes a deep dive into the manifesto—an email sent to @samosaur by Matt Livelsberger himself. Within this chilling document, Livelsberger boldly declares, “What I’m going to send you is going to change the course of humanity.” Matt Livelsberger, a former Green Beret, is at the center of this story. Just days before he drove a Tesla Cybertruck loaded with explosives to Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. The Cybertruck incident, has raised serious questions about Livelsberger’s motivations, his credibility, and the information he shared. In this episode, we unpack the manifesto’s contents, which include allegations of advanced drone technology, U.S. war crimes in Afghanistan, and the use of gravity propulsion systems by China. What's chilling is the same individual who emailed @samosaur also emailed the Shawn Ryan Show and we corroborate this during the interview. I will be linked all emails/attachments below. PLEASE WATCH AND SHARE.
reSee.it AI Summary
I discussed the FBI's corruption and my experiences with their investigations. After attempting to expose wrongdoing, I became the target of an investigation myself, with my personal information subpoenaed. The DOJ surveilled me years later, leading to an ongoing lawsuit. I highlighted Rod Rosenstein's role in signing a false FISA and Chris Wray's repeated dishonesty. I believe that revealing the truth to Americans can mobilize support for leaders like Trump to challenge the deep state. Accountability is crucial, and those who lied should face consequences. The media often distorts the truth, and we need a new team to combat corruption in government.

Video Transcript AI Summary
We approached key figures in the investigation, but instead of helping us expose the truth, they launched an investigation against me. Five years later, Google informed me that the DOJ had surveilled me. The FBI and DOJ leadership lied during our meetings and later faced scrutiny for their actions. Gina Haspel, who oversaw the CIA during this period, allowed operations that fueled the Russiagate narrative. The deep state is extensive, involving many individuals across various sectors, not limited to one party. To dismantle it, we need to hold accountable those who lied and misused their positions, while also bringing in new leadership. The decline of mainstream media viewership reflects a growing public distrust, as people turn to alternative sources for information.

Speaker 0: We went to them and said, look. You guys didn't do this. Help us expose it. And they both doubled down. You know what they did?
They launched an investigation against me.
Speaker 1: What? So Google informed you that you're being surveilled 5 years after the investigation started.
Speaker 0: Right. Gina Haspel would later become Trump's CIA director. And then when these guys got out of the administration do you know where Gina Haspel and Rod Rosenstein work today? We're. And instead of doing the job for the American people, they come out instead, come up with government boondoggles that pay themselves 1,000,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 of dollars or their friends 1,000,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 of dollars, which is our dollars.
And they wanna make sure that that keeps going over and over and over. I'll give you a perfect example. Who cares if you've ever followed Russiagate or any of this other stuff about the deep state? Chris Wray, the director of the FBI, and Rob Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general then of the DOJ, were tasked with helping us at Congress, where I ran the Russiagate investigation, to expose Russiagate. We went to them and said, look, you guys didn't do this.
Help us expose it. And they both doubled down. You know what they did? They launched an investigation against me, the senior congressional investigator for Russiagate on the House Intelligence Committee, and 6 other staffers. They used grand jury subpoenas to get my personal information, my banking information, my emails, my cell phone information, everything else.
I didn't find out till 5 years later when Google called me and said, hey. Our 5 year notification has lapsed. We can now tell you the DOJ surveilled you. And we had to turn over documents. So that became that we exploded that into a federal lawsuit that's still ongoing in the DOJ and FBI.
But those 2 guys
Speaker 1: Hold on. What? So Google informed you that you're being surveilled 5 years after the investigation started.
Speaker 0: Right.
Speaker 1: What what what, I mean, what more did they tell you?
Speaker 0: They're not allowed to say anything, but that you can be informed now since it's 5 years later. So as a former national security prosecutor, I know you don't just go to Google. You go to every provider. You go to all the telecoms. You go to the bank.
You go to everybody. If you're gonna run an investigation, that's what you do. But these 2 guys who were running the FBI and DOJ sat in a room with the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and lied to our faces. They threatened to investigate us, which was bad enough. Right?
They actually did it. And then these 2 guys would get exposed for Rob Rosenstein specifically for signing a FISA that was totally bogus. And we've caught Chris Wray lying time and time again as the director of the FBI. Put these guys over here for a second. Gina Haspel, who was the director of the CIA, was London station chief, in England when Russiagate kicked off.
Under the rule of law in America, if you want the Federal Bureau of Investigation to launch an investigation overseas, you have to get permission from the head intel rep. In the England, it's the DCI, excuse me, the station chief. So she allowed Russiagate to occur on British soil where there was a barroom operation to try to record some nub into spilling the beans on Donald Trump. And they would use that to launch the whole Russiagate, offensive. Gina Haspel would later become Trump's CIA director.
And then when these guys got out of the administration, do you know where Gina Haspel and Rod Rosenstein work today? Were. At Christopher Wray's old law firm as senior named partners making 7 and 8 figures.
Speaker 1: How is this gonna get broken up? There it it seems so deep. I mean, there you just mentioned they're in our they're they're embedded in politics. They're embedded in mainstream media. They're embedded in intelligence agencies.
They are former top leadership of the military that's now embedded within the military industrial complex companies.
Speaker 0: Mhmm. I
Speaker 1: mean, it it's how many people are involved in this? Thousands. Deep state? 1000. How would you even begin to dismantle it?
Speaker 0: Well, I think the first Trump administration was the beachhead. Right? People were just like, you guys are full of it, and we continue to put out the truth. And years later, people are catching up to a lot of that truth saying, wait a second. You guys weren't lying back then.
People being the American public, that's the weapon we need. And you guys weren't lying about impeachment. They literally made up a piece of a phone call to launch a presidential impeachment and then put me in the middle of it by making up a meeting that never occurred. But it sounded dirty at the time. And then when we finally released the transcript, everybody was like, oh, yeah.
There there was no quid pro quo. Nothing illegal happened here. But the narrative had been out there. Now now you have president Trump as an as a president who was impeached for the first time in however many years. And so they get their narratives.
Right? They don't necessarily care about the conclusory portion of their mission. They use the mainstream media to say Trump's a Russian asset. He's been impeached. Kash Patel is under DOJ surveillance for whatever investigation when he was never done.
I've had more mainstream media hits on me than I can count. But they want the title narrative to carry the day. Hunter Biden's laptop is Russian disinformation. They don't care about the actual truth. And so once you start stacking these together and you show the American public you were lied to, you based your vote at the polls on information that the government purposely withheld from you so that you would vote a particular way.
Once you show enough Americans that, then I think you have the movement that you need behind the leadership that we have in Donald Trump. It's my position to take a wrecking ball to the deep state.
Speaker 1: How so? You go to DC
Speaker 0: and you remove all these positions. Right? And you start enacting measures, not of retribution, but of legal consequence. Y'all acted one way. For instance, the people that signed the 51 intel letter, right, permanently suspend their security clearances forever.
Every one of those guys lie. Every one of those guys got caught lying. You're talking about 2 former CIA directors, a former NSA director, and a former secretary of defense. All intentionally to this day continue to lie and won't take back their letter. Okay.
You can stop making money from your security clearance. There's a start. Then you go in and you get the Eric Charmels of the world who have been publicly outed as utilizing intel to inject a political narrative across mainstream America. And you remove these people from government. You have to go in there.
The same thing we're talking about the voting. It's the same thing here. You gotta cleanse the scrolls. Government service is a service. We're not making you do it.
And if you break the rules and regulations, you're out. So that's a big part of it, right? Then you bring in the new bench, the new team. Then you're going to have to keep fighting the media. And I think we're slowly over the years have started to win that fight.
Because the more and more and this is one thing I learned when I started rushing it, my name was outed for the first time, that the media is attacking you, the more you're over the target.
Speaker 1: Who is it the who is it the head of it?
Speaker 0: I don't think there's one person or one group. I think it's it's people who know they're going to benefit from each other if they sign up for the program, let's call it. Right? And so again, not a Republican or Democrat thing. In the glossary of this book, in alphabetical order, I think there's like 65 people I name by title and name just to show people how expansive the deep state is.
And so there is no, like, one chain of command they report to. Instead, what I believe they do is they bring in people that they can control. The Obama still have heavy sway in that entire operation, and so do people that have been around for 10, 20, 30 years in Washington.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's already out there for the I mean, how corrupt it is. I mean, that's why I I think that's why podcasts are doing so well right now. And I mean, I somebody just came in here in media and said that CNN's viewership is only about 50,000 at any particular point in time during the day. That's pretty bad. That's pretty bad.
Speaker 0: It's atrocious. And I'll give you an example from sort of the other end of the spectrum. When Tucker was on Fox, and this is not an attack on on the reporting. It's just the it's just the way the pendulum has swung away from mainstream media in general. When Tucker was on Fox and he was at the peak of his show's viewership, he was still 1 third less than Bill O'Reilly when Bill O'Reilly was on Fox in terms of viewership.
Wow. So it had already started. And it's again, not because of the the the reporting. I think it's because other people started to say, I don't want to watch mainstream media anymore, anywhere. And the shows, the podcasts, the radios, the series started becoming more and more and more and more popular.
Speaker 1: No matter where you're watching Sean Ryan Show from, if you get anything out of this, please like, comment, subscribe, and most importantly, share this everywhere you possibly can. And if you're feeling extra generous, please leave us a review on Apple and Spotify podcasts.

I had an insightful interview with Mike Benz, covering various topics. We discussed 'The Blob' and its influence on international censorship, including connections to the 2014 Ukraine situation. We explored the implications of Elon Musk's role in the free speech debate and the threats of DHS censorship. The conversation also touched on progress in Congress, strategies to gain power over tech companies, and the complexities surrounding Burisma and Ukraine. Finally, we delved into the broader implications for free speech on the internet and the looming specter of World War 3.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The family of deceased Navy SEAL Kyle Mullen, who died during training, is pressuring the Navy to hold someone accountable. Despite an autopsy indicating acute pneumonia, the Navy is charging the commanding officer, Brad Gurry, and the seal medical training officer.
The Pipehitter Foundation is supporting Gurry and the medical officer, claiming the Navy is creating a case out of nothing. They allege Mullen cheated by using steroids, which were found in his car along with other substances. An autopsy revealed an enlarged heart, but the family wanted this information suppressed. Investigations into Mullen's death were allegedly manipulated to remove performance-enhancing drugs as a contributing factor.
The foundation is now raising funds for the medical officer's defense, asserting that service members' rights depend on their ability to afford legal representation.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Folks, we reported a few months ago about a young seal, Kyle Mullen, who died in training. This is the most difficult training on the face of the earth. And, unfortunately, the people who apply are oftentimes so motivated, they will sometimes work themselves to death and cover up their own injuries to do so. The the family though of this fallen soldier is naturally upset and has put significant pressure on the navy to charge somebody with something. Kyle's mother, Regina Mullen, you know, I bless her.
Okay? She's she's dealing with loss. Claims that they're torturing our men and it's not training. And now the navy is charging the commanding officer and the seal medical training officer in his death even though the autopsy reveals he died of acute pneumonia. The commanding officer, Brad Gurry, is now fighting for his career and to clear his name appearing on Sean Ryan show last week.
Speaker 1: It's been almost two and a half years since Kyle died. And in some ways, enough is enough. It's time for the truth to come out.
Speaker 0: Gallagher with the Pipehitter Foundation is joining this battle for captain Sean Greer and Sean Ryan, who also you just heard from right there. Alright. So, Eddie, full disclosure. I'm on the board of Pipehitter Foundation as well, Taking on this case to defend him against the US Navy wants to hang him out for drive for something that really doesn't seem to be his fault.
Speaker 2: That's correct. I mean, that's why we found you know, we started this foundation. And, unfortunately, was the Navy was the reason we started this foundation because they just cannot stop themselves from trying to, make cases out of some out of nothing. I mean, this has been an injustice from the beginning. And, you know, Brad Gere, you know, he's he's, I think, being a little soft on what's really going on.
He said the truth is supposed to come out. You know, the bottom line that no one wants to tell his mother is her son cheated. And he's not the only one that does it, but he cheated. He took steroids. They found him in his car.
You know, he tested. They did an autopsy, found he had an enlarged heart, but she wanted that stricken out of everything. So her son, you know, did not have this shadow over her that he was taking steroids. And because of that, they took that completely out of the case. And now they're going doing what they do best is they're hanging out the medical officer and the CO to drive.
And, you know, unfortunately, these things happen more and more, are common. And this is why our foundation is stepping in to make sure that the medical officer receives the justice he deserves.
Speaker 0: So, Sean, your interview with him, it was over 30 minutes long. It was fantastic. And I would encourage everybody to go to your social media and your website and watch the full interview. But, like, I mean, in there, he talks about the autopsy where they have all these things, where they have the NCIS report right here. These are syringes in the NCIS report taken out of his car.
Why is the truth not coming out? Why are they trying to scapegoat this commanding officer?
Speaker 1: You know, it's they've done, what, 3 manipulated investigations so far to cover it up because the original investigation said that PEDS, performance enhancing drugs, were a contributing factor to his death. And so then the Navy didn't like that decision or they didn't like that investigation, so they just kept reordering investigations until the performance enhancing drugs portion was completely eliminated out of the findings. And just like Eddie had said, and just like Brad had said on my show, when they checked his car, there were vials of testosterone, there were vials of HGH, there were vials there was Viagra from, I believe it was Pakistan, and they didn't they didn't want that in there. They didn't want that in there. On top of that, Eddie just said the heart the heart was 63% larger than the average person at that age.
Speaker 0: Wow. I mean, Eddie, as we as we go through this, man, this is like, look, my heart goes out to the mother. She lost her son, but, like, she it almost seems like she's looking for a pound of flesh here on something that, like, how many guys did we go through buds with that were like, hey. I'll die before I quit.
Speaker 2: Exactly. You know, and I was a budget instructor for 2 years and I can testify to, you know, that, selection process and the way that the instructors are ran. The standards need to be met, but they also mitigate all the risks to the students. They are the most professional, group that you can have running a selection course like that. You know, and, you know, Murphy's Law will kick in every once in a while and things do happen.
But to sit there and try to hang these people out to drive for a decision that was made by Mullen himself to take drugs, to take steroids before he did the selection process. You know, those are his choices and those are the consequences that happened. And I do agree for the mother. You know, I do understand. I could never imagine that, but we should not be ruining people's careers, over this young man's actions.
Speaker 0: Yeah. Sean, I wanna follow-up. Obviously, the episode that you did was phenomenal. Where do people go to find that episode in its entirety? You
Speaker 1: can go to YouTube, Sean Ryan Show, Spotify, Apple, Brad Gary. Yeah. The pop rider.
Speaker 0: Were were you shocked when you heard some of the things he was coming out with during that interview? You know,
Speaker 1: the one that shocked me the most was Eddie's case. And when I when I dug in with the attorneys and with Brad here on the show, I think I even vocalized it on the show. It's very under completely different circumstances, it sounds very similar to the Eddie Gallagher case. And ironically, the defense team is starting to look very similar to the Eddie Gallagher to the Eddie Gallagher case. Yeah.
Speaker 2: They're winners.
Speaker 0: Yeah. It it just winner. It just seems like they they are retaining people over there at the JAG Corps. They're not in the interest of the service members. Alright.
Go get the go watch the interview with with Sean Ryan. Eddie, appreciate you joining us with Sean.
Speaker 2: Hey, real quick. Real quick, Carl. They have we're just announcing the campaign right now for, doctor Ramey. So you can go to pipefitterfountainnation.org, read more about what's going on with him, and you can start donating to his case right there. Because as you know, Carl and Sean Yeah.
