Someone shot at Trump at a rally, grazing his ear and causing bleeding. The shooter should have better aim, like the sniper who shot JFK. Going to jail for just grazing someone's ear seems pointless. If you're going to do it, do it right.

I hate drama. I hate influencer drama. I hate Internet drama. I hate the theatrics of it. And so I want to tell you something. The only reason that I'm going up against Crenshaw is I am sick and tired of watching government officials and people in high places try to silence and bully regular American citizens. I'm sick of saying it. Somebody's gotta stand up to this shit. It might as well be me. It might as well be me. On 12/09/2025, I received a legal demand letter from lawyers representing congressman Dan Crenshaw. They are threatening to sue me for defamation because of comments I made on my podcast about a message that he sent me. So this all transpired from a conversation that I had with Tulsi Gabbard. And I was concerned... Although I didn't mention his name in the interview... I wanted to know how a newer congressman can afford to hire a mainstream DJ, Steve Aoki, to spin at his fortieth birthday party. I didn't just make this up. Somebody sent me the invitation that he had sent out to everybody for his fortieth birthday. And so that's where I got this from. Anyways, here's the clip with Tulsi. Is there any direct money? I mean, know, you see all these people you see all these people show up in Congress, the Senate, the cabinet, whatever, and, you know, not wealthy. Yeah. Speaker 1: I don't have firsthand experience in this. I have often questioned the same thing. I know a big factor is the insider trading that goes on in Congress. And again, some people will say, well, like, hey, I didn't know anything about this. I'm just making investments for my family or my wife or my husband is making investments. I don't know anything about what's going on. Maybe they're being honest, maybe they're not. But the reality is you're in a position where you're making decisions, either in committee or on the House floor, that influence our markets, that influence the outcomes of certain industries, either causing some to tank or others to skyrocket. And the mere perception of insider trading shouldn't exist. This is legislation, again, I introduced in Congress years ago. No member of Congress should be allowed to do any trading of any stocks, neither should their spouse, neither should their senior staff. Period. These are the people who have access to proprietary private information that's not open to everybody in the public, or certainly before it becomes public. And the possibility of the abuse of power in trading on that information should not exist. It's interesting because as we're seeing there are some members of Congress who say that share my view on that, but who are continuing to trade stocks themselves. The Senate just passed, I think out of committee, first step legislation that would reflect similar to banning members and their spouses. We'll see where it goes. In the Senate we've heard a lot of talk coming from leaders from both parties, but no action has been taken. That to me is the most obvious way that people are going from being elected and having no money and you make, what, dollars $160 a year or whatever the salary is now to literally becoming multimillionaires. That is the most obvious way. There are kind of stringent requirements of financial reporting that every member has to do certainly at least once a year, more often if you are actively trading in stocks. But it I think it would be a little hard, not impossible, but a little hard if somebody's just coming and bringing you a sack of cash. Speaker 0: So after the conversation with Tulsi, that's when I got the text or the message on Instagram from congressman Crenshaw that I find threatening, telling me he spoke with his boys at six. Here's a screenshot. Hey, Sean. You have the ability to contact your fellow team guy if you've got a problem with me or have questions about how I'm getting rich. Some of my boys at six told me about your indirect swipe at me. Some of my beliefs are based on trendy narratives instead of facts. And just so you know, I mean, Dan does have a history of threatening people. Once again, here is Dan threatening to kill Tucker Carlson. And then, again, he reaffirms that he's not joking. Speaker 2: Have you ever met Tucker? Speaker 0: We've talked a lot. He's the worst person. Okay. So I get the message. I take it is extremely threatening. It is a tier one unit, the best, most effective tier one unit in the world, deadliest unit. But I don't do anything. I move on. And then a little over a year later, I'm interviewing, oh, a member from SEAL Team six. Maybe he's one of Dan's boys at six. So he brought up the fact that he had asked a congressman with an eye patch, didn't wanna mention his name, to help him with his book debacle. He received no aid. I filled in the blank. I said, oh, you must be talking about congressman Crenshaw. Let me share my experience with you, my interactions with congressman Crenshaw. So I shared him. I told him about the Instagram message, and I told him that I found that threatening. And then I asked Matt if he was one of Dan's boys at six, Maybe he was here to come beat me up. Matt assured me he wasn't. Here's the clip. Speaker 2: I'll give you another example. In the height of my my issues, I contacted a former SEAL. I won't name names, but he has an eye patch, And he's a congressman out of a state You Speaker 0: mean Dan Crenshaw? Speaker 2: I'm not naming names. Speaker 0: Another one of my Speaker 2: favorite Sir, here's my situation. You know, Dan? Speaker 0: Dan actually sent me a message. I should fucking read this to you. But, basically, he tells me I brought something up about him, and I never even met I gave him the courtesy of not even mentioning his fucking name. It was about his birthday party where he hired Steve Aoki to to DJ his birthday. I mean, that can't be fucking cheap. Right? Especially on a congressman's salary. And I brought that up. And Dan sends me a message that says his boys over at six are really upset with me that I brought that up, and they're gonna they might come beat me up. Speaker 2: Boys at six. Speaker 0: His boys over at six. Speaker 2: Well, to infer he's got I don't know why congressman would be Speaker 0: threatening me with seal team six, but I'm still fucking waiting. This is actually a couple years This Speaker 2: is threatened quite a Speaker 0: have not had my ass kicked by a couple of guys over at six. But Dan Crunchy he fits with all these fucking people you're talking about. Speaker 2: So I called him. Right? He's a sitting congressman. He's a former officer. And drum roll, please, he was getting ready to release his book. So I call him up. I get a conversation with him. I said, sir, here's my situation. I hired an attorney. The attorney gave me bad advice. Book was published. I've given up attorney client privilege, cooperated everything I can to to fix this. They've still come after me. We can get into all the the other stuff that I'm dealing with. I said, sir, can you help me out with this? He's like, well, you know, I'm I'm about ready to publish my book, and I'm I'm not getting it reviewed. I'm like, well, sir, same same letter of the law that they came after me for failure to seek prepublication review. I didn't get prepublication review because my lawyer told me I didn't have to, and he could do it. Like, in your case, you know you have to get reviewed. I'm here telling you, confirming you have to get reviewed or the government's gonna come after you. He's like, yeah. No. But I'm not gonna write anything classified in my book. I'm like, there's nothing classified in my book. They they said there was. They went through it. They said, nope. There's nothing classified in it. You just failed to seek review. I'm like, so if I only thing I failed to do was seek review, you're willingly going around that obligation, and you don't give a shit. He's like, yeah. But I'm not gonna write about anything classified in my book. That was his answer. Never talked to him again. So he published his book. No review. Nothing's happened. He's kept his money. He's a sitting congressman. I got a payment plan. So so to say I've been alone So Speaker 0: I guess I guess you're not one of Dan's boys over at six. Speaker 2: That's kinda Definitely not Dave Boys at six. That's a pretty ridiculous statement if I've ever heard one.

Armchair Anonymous: Military | Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
reSee.it Podcast Summary
The podcast episode, hosted by Dax Shepard and Aaron Weekly, features four "crazy military stories" from former and active service members, highlighting unexpected dangers and humorous mishaps. Jake, a former infantryman, recounted a harrowing training exercise in Slovenia. During a night mission with poor visibility, he accidentally plunged 15-20 feet off a cliff, sustaining a severe leg injury. Despite significant bleeding and pain, he continued the mission for hours due to shock and embarrassment. Later, while awaiting extraction for his wound, a large brown bear appeared, causing his medic and sergeant to flee, leaving Jake to hobble away. His leg healed, leaving a notable scar. Kimberly shared a traumatic hit-and-run incident from 2005 at Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma. While walking with her husband and two young daughters in a stroller, she was struck by a car, which then dragged the stroller before it broke apart, sending her infant tumbling. The driver fled but was later apprehended at a car wash. Kimberly sustained internal injuries and a leg injury. The subsequent trial was delayed when the driver's attorney arrived at court intoxicated and crashed into the building. Poignantly, her daughters, now adults, have both followed military paths: one is an Air Force pilot training at the same base, and the other an Army combat nurse. Trev, a former Army National Guard combat engineer, recounted a bizarre incident from basic training in 2013. During a freezing night patrol, he sought warmth from a large generator's exhaust vent. In a moment of poor judgment, he stripped naked and sat directly on the hot vent, only to find himself stuck. Panicked about being discovered, he ripped himself free, falling into the snow. Later, he discovered a piece of his buttock skin had been left behind on the generator. Miraculously, he avoided infection and continued training, though he now bears a significant scar. Finally, Scott, a Navy submarine officer, offered a unique glimpse into life aboard a nuclear submarine. His story detailed a "large-scale unauthorized evacuation" of human waste. During the process of emptying the submarine's sanitary tanks using high-pressure air, a critical error occurred: a sink valve and floor drain in the galley (kitchen) were left open. This resulted in a geyser of raw sewage erupting into the kitchen, covering every surface and leaving ankle-deep waste. The crew spent days in waist-high waders cleaning the mess and ate uncooked meals for two days. The incident, while disgusting, highlighted the resilience and adaptability required in such confined, high-stakes environments.

Guests: Jonathan Gottschall

Joe Rogan speaks with Jonathan Gottschall, a professor who wrote "The Professor in the Cage," about his experience taking up mixed martial arts (MMA) at age 38. Feeling stagnant in his academic career, Gottschall was inspired by the fighters he saw at a local MMA gym and decided to join them, viewing it as a potential book project and a way to explore the role of violence in human life. Gottschall discusses the misconceptions surrounding MMA, emphasizing that while it involves violence, it is not driven by anger but rather by competition. He reflects on the emotional and psychological aspects of fighting, noting that fighters must achieve a zen-like state to perform well, as emotions can hinder decision-making and energy management. He shares his journey of training, sparring, and ultimately fighting, revealing that he had never been in a fight before this experience. The fight itself lasted 47 seconds, during which he initially felt in control before being caught in an armbar. This experience led him to appreciate the complexity of fighting and the importance of understanding one's own limitations. Throughout the conversation, Rogan and Gottschall discuss the nature of masculinity, the evolution of combat sports, and the psychological burdens of past experiences.
