Erik Prince - Breakdown of the Donald Trump Assassination Attempt | SRS #123

Eric Prince welcome back for the third. time good to be back third time to charm. it's good to have you back nice to be so. you don't really need an introduction. but I'm going to give you a mini one uh. so founder CEO of Blackwater the biggest. and most effective private military. contracting company in the world you. never lost a protect a protect ever I.

think you're the only company to ever do. that uh and we're bringing you on to. talk about unfortunately the failed. assassination assassination attempt. against uh Donald Trump figured nobody's. more qualified to talk about it than you. considering the fact your company never. lost a protecte and you're also the. co-founder of unplugged one of the only. phones on the market that big Tech. cannot track you on and we'll get to.

that later but um so yeah I want to just. dive in I can't I can't tell what's real. and what's not real on the news and the. media when it comes to the assassination. attempt there's all these conspiracies. both on the right and the left I don't. feel like anybody is using context uh is. part of their decision at least on the. left on on what happened but um but. before we get into the heavy stuff I. want to ask you about the BW brightling.

watch people are fascinated by that and. so yeah word today yeah um you know some. companies give loyalty Awards and uh I. had 150 of these made and given to key. um key people in the company and it was. kind of my promise to them that wherever. they are will come for them if they're. in trouble and uh this is a it's got a. 1215 Beacon these were this is almost 20.

years old but uh broadcasts on 1215. International Guard frequency so any. commercial aircraft is going to have a. radio tune to this and uh it it beeps. out SOS so you can locate and rescue. whoever needs it uh I don't think any of. the guys ever used it while they were in. the employee of BW but I I did hear of. some of the guys um use it on a on a. Backcountry ski trip in Norway it saved. their life yeah one of the guys was. really hyping out bad and uh pulled it.

and um the nearby station missed it but. something 20 30 miles. away um picked up the uh the the call. and within minutes there was a uh. Norwegian Coast Guard helicopter. overhead and saved them so man that's. awesome I picked one up I found it on. the secondary Market I don't know whose. it was but I'm happy I got it good. Keepsake so good piece of History very. cool very cool but um let's just Dive. Right In so what two weeks ago now Trump.

was almost assassinated shot in the head. and luckily they just grazed him. but there's just so much going on in the. media right now I talk to a handful of. people I talked to Eli crane who's uh. you know Congressman crane he was out at. the site man and sniper as well yep and. so I wanted to get his take cuz he. actually went to the site and uh he had. he had a great quote you know he started. it off with this is either the greatest. security breach of all time or they.

tried to assassinate him or they left. the door open so wide that that any any. infiltrator could come in yeah that's. he's right it's one of those two things. it the the level right he the fact that. they allowed that the Secret Service was. bested by a. 20-year-old to Lally draw blood from the. Republican candidate for president and. former. president um is is inconceivably.

incompetent and I think the testimony of. cheel the the director that just. resigned um in shame it's it's it's. shocking that had to have incompetence. that bad to finally get bipartisanship. that both Dems and republicans in. Congress were calling for a resignation. but I think it's that is a tip of the. iceberg of the amount of rot throughout. our federal institutions whether it's in. law enforcement the intelligence agenc. gencies in the military Etc that level.

of incompetence and arrogance has. permeated the place because we've we've. allowed failure to continue to rise to. the top and never ever suffer. consequences for it nobody's really. getting fired I think they were going to. defund their their appropriation was. coming up for the Secret Service and. they were actually going to zero out her. compensation so both sides are actually. coming for but for heaven's sakes it's. it's bad a.

12-year-old I think I first took my kids. deer hunting my son's at probably age 12. and they would have easily hit a 140. yard lay down prone shot with a with an. M4 mhm not a hard shot to make not at. all not a hard shot to. make I mean do you do you think this is. a. Dei this is the this is the result of. Dei within within the government it's a.

result of a culture of no accountability. for failure and that allows people to. drift so far off the mission if the. mission is to. be uh zero. failure protect the protecte or whatever. the mission is of a federal agency it. allows them to distract into green. initiatives Dei initiatives all kinds of. other things that that truly distract. from what the actual mission of what. they're supposed to be doing is yeah Dei. is a factor but it's it's really a.

culture of political correctness and no. merit that's what's exceedingly. dangerous and and we. become become every bit as rotted as a. so as the Soviet Society was before the. Soviet Union. collapsed especially when you know now. and now when this actually needs really. full proctological. examination that we really can't trust. the FBI that's really sad that's. disgusting I even feel bad for the. secret for the there's some great Secret.

Service agents and obviously there's. some ones that don't belong there um. feel terrible for the ones that really. earned it that want to be excellent that. are excellent but even the people on the. detail president's detail that day I. think only one was full-time Secret. Service as far as I know the other ones. were just HSI agents random Homeland. Security Law Enforcement people that. were assigned from the Pittsburgh office. or whatever there was only four Post.

standers Secret Service assigned Jill. Biden had 12 post standers assigned to. an event she had the same afternoon in. Pittsburgh so Jill Biden who has no. constitutional Authority or role not a. candidate for president took three times. as much as Trump did at an outside venue. hers was a small inside venue so there's. just cascading effects of bad bad bad. decisions I mean there seems to be what. three or four different narratives.

there's there's the left's conspiracy. that it was planned from inside the. Trump team which I don't know I don't. know how you could think that I think. that there's not a sniper in the world. yeah that I would trust and I've known. some great ones that I would trust to. take a shot at me and to clip my ear yep. y zero 0.0 it's a it's a one in a. million probably more than that shot you.

know to to to to to be able to hit a. Target that size while you're moving. around it's it's that's pure Madness but. it's even worse than that is how many. Dems would even post and talk about how. much they wish the Marksman had better. aim mhm. that's if that's really what they're. feeling then how do you how do you. cooperate in a in a republic with people. that actually want you dead it's a great.

question the other is there's a couple. of different ones the other is people. think it was the government involved. people think that it was Dei it was it. was a it was a it was a Dei coming to. fruition here and and kind of showing. the end result and then the other is. that well there's the incompetence one. and there's the one where we just let it. happen I'll give you two examples. previously of of interactions I've had.

with other protective. organizations in. 2008 Blackwater days we had uh remember. the shoe throwing incident in Baghdad. when the reporter got up and threw his. shoe at George Bush in a press. conference there was a Blackwater guy in. the room because the deputy chief of. mission was there saw that the first. shoe went drew his Pi his pistol had a. site picture saw that it was only a shoe. re holstered went forward took the guy. down tackled him before the Secret.

Service did. anything it's it's like the Secret. Service was almost like confirmation. bias nothing's going to happen nothing's. going to happen holy [ __ ] something's. happening I can't believe it's happening. I'm not moving it was. stunned um you know for all the noise. righteous indignation people have made. about. Benghazi or about Blackwater being. heavy-handed in our Diplomatic Security. missions 100,000 Miss.

less than half of 1% were weapons. discharges in the Benghazi attack where. a US ambassador was killed on duty how. many rounds were fired by the DS agents. not by the contractors by government. employee Diplomatic Security Service. agents how many rounds are fired by them. I don't know for a fact but I would. guess zero. zero how can you have that how can you. is that. is that incompetence is that.

malpractice I don't know but my God I. can't imagine 8bw guys that would have. not have got some rounds off and moved. to attack to Counterattack so. again maybe our federal agencies just. aren't as good as we think they are or. maybe our assumptions about what their. capabilities are aren't as good the. dangerous thing what must be fixed is if. the Secret Service was. bested by a 20-year-old. who went to the range some time.

practiced obviously he mapped it out. supposedly had a drone that they've. acknowledged that he used A Rang. finder that they bested him and he got. what five aim shots. off what are they going to do against a. 10-man hezb. team it's a great question running. drones or whatever that's a that is a. level of threat clearly they're not up. for right now so things need to be fixed.

my my thinking is um was there. government involvement I'm not sure. Heritage Foundation did a good job of. tracking uh ad IDs on existing phones uh. to find that there was a phone that. visited his house. regularly um that went to some uh some. office building in Washington DC that's. interesting that's curious we should. definitely find who who that handset. owner was um.

I'm not convinced if it was a conspiracy. to to kill Trump that they would have. used a. 20-year-old local. kid. um is it Dei I would say it's a greater. lack of focus on Merit and and being. solely focused on doing the mission and. just allowing all the politics and. political correctness of Washington to. completely distract from an idea because. I've seen. that we've seen that. in the conduct of the war in Iraq in the.

conduct of the war in Afghanistan in the. conduct of countering the hooes right so. you have the the hooes that have now. shut off one of the world's major. waterways the first thing I learned on. the day one of the US Navy the mission. of the US Navy is power projection sea. control and to control the key choke. points of the world well right now choke. point is controlled by the. houis enabled by Iran the US Navy said.

well we fired a billion dollars worth of. missiles at countering the hooes that's. not even a real number it's probably. five or six billion because they're. counting a billion dollars worth of. missiles from what they bought what they. bought it for 20 25 years ago they're. going to pay six billion to restock and. again the hoties large and in charge. having shut that. off they're sent the US military is sent. to Gaza to build a pier for Logistics. and they can't keep the pier afloat and. functioning for more than a couple days. and it cost $230 million it's just.

failure after failure of Throwing Fire. hosing money at an incompetent unaligned. bureaucracy and and and sadly a guy lost. his life on last Saturday because of. that and um you know the the scariest. thing is Wars start because of. assassinations World War I started when. Arch duuk Francis Ferdinand the heir to. the The Throne of the austral Hungarian.

Empire was assassinated on a botched hit. in Belgrade in. 1914 they they tried blowing up his car. that morning they missed he was actually. visiting in the hospital his wounded. guys leaving out of there and the the. the Assassin saw his car going down the. street without guards stepped out with a. pistol and shot him that started World. War I which killed millions of people. rewrote the map of Europe. imagine America today if they had.

assassinated Donald Trump would we be in. a civil war maybe maybe not would there. be high likelihood of violence. yes well he still has several months to. the election and even if he wins then we. have four years of I mean you know so we. may be heading down that road anywhere. and that's anyways and uh that's kind of. how i' like to to to to get we'll get to. that later in the interview but what is. I mean. like I said I can't tell what's real and.

what's not real anymore on the media on. what what I'm being fed I see all these. things supposedly they went and went to. the shooter's house and it was. completely clean this is all unconfirmed. hearsay right now is what I've been able. to find. but from what I've been told there's no. there wasn't any dirty dishes there was. no silverware there was no trash it was. almost like a a medical operating table.

it was that clean have you heard this. I've not heard. that I mean what do you what are your. thoughts what was. this you've got only a few months until. the 2024 election takes place and who. knows where the country is going to be. what will the national debt be how many. more political tricks will there be. that's why I've teamed up with a. toprated precious metals company gold. code to diversify and help protect my.

massive disinfectant effect of. transparency that will actually answer. these. questions do you actually think we'll. get. that but we just saw the secret service. director get grilled by Congress she. didn't answer anything she didn't answer. anything she been several she duck. behind the well the FBI is investigating. the FBI is investigating who is. investigating at the FBI who is that. where where has there been any. information they should be having a. daily Presser. updating what this is was this a.

conspiracy higher up or. not do you think we'll ever get. that well the Warren Commission after. the assassination of Kennedy was so. screwed up they had to have a second. one and clearly the results of. that uh you know my issue there is 1992. Congress passed a law stating that. within 25 years the SE all documents all.

documents related to the Kennedy. assassination must be released so that. 25 years expired in 2017 when Mike. Pompeo was the director of CIA and he. stopped the release of those documents I. find that unacceptable I don't care if. it. says that his wife did it or whatever. government. entity again we need if we're going to. have a republic and we're going to have. any kind of confidence in our government. institutions let truth be be released.

enough it doesn't sound like you want to. say what you really think. but I think is it a. conspiracy I don't know well put it this. way if it was a conspiracy it's not how. I would do it so maybe I'm maybe I'm. confirmation biasing myself out of it. that way well you're a competent. guy these people aren't I mean just with. all the context you know behind it I. mean there's they definitely it it seems. to me they used an escalation of force.

we saw all the rioting happen before he. even got elected then he got elected. rioting all over the streets and yeah. tuck Tucker called it what what's the. next thing yeah they're going to try to. they're going to try to hurt him but. both Tucker and Bannon they called it so. I mean how could you not use those. context that context and and. and it was an escalation of. force yes how do people not see that and. and and we're lucky. that he aimed at his head cuz I don't.

think I don't think Trump was wearing. plates that day and it was probably an. M4 you agree probably a 556. bullet um so again wearing plates Center. Mass uh on a 78y old man probably would. have killed him and uh whether he hit. here or here or here doesn't really. matter it would have put him down. so uh the assassination he was going for. going for the glory shot and thank God.

he missed I mean on top of that I'm I've. been on several events where Secret. Service was. involved and we did one in in istan buul. back in 2004 with the NATO convention. and I've seen I mean they were they. appeared very competent back then every. rooftop was covered every window was. covered I was a part of the sniper. OverWatch I I don't when I saw that. happen.

I don't and then you and and that was. downtown Istanbul Turkey or downtown DC. or downtown Baghdad this was a this was. a farm field yes how how can it be that. incompetent because he was not anywhere. near protected at the level of even what. the first lady was because he had not. because the Secret Service UPS their. protection level once a candidate is the. nominee of the party and so this is like. the last week before that happened like.

I said before uh J Jill Biden had three. times as many Secret Service agents on. her As Trump did that day and he's in a. outdoor venue they they viewed 140 yard. rooftop as being outside their perimeter. completely irrational and crazy so are. you involved in this now have they. contacted you uh there's certainly been. a lot of chatter about that I've had um. some private conversations offering what.

it would look. like and. my also my professional opinion is. trying to integrate private contractors. in with Secret Service agents will be. exceedingly difficult and the private. guys will always get shafted because if. anything. happens if they shoot somebody or if. they don't shoot somebody it will always. be the private guy's fault that being. said there's still guys that will stand. the post because they love Trum and want. to protect him but I think the best use. if if you're going to add uh a different.

look to this is to put five really good. sniper SL soft type guys on your. Advanced team because the danger of law. enforcement and I've even seen this in. company security officers company. security officers that come from a law. enforcement background tend to be. looking rear words looking for evidence. to collect soft guys tend to hunt like a. predator how am I going to I'm going to. look at that Target every which way to. see how I'm going to kill it. and I think you need to look at this.

from a predator's perspective including. upping the game with the knowledge. that's come out of the Ukraine war of. applying drone technology because now. you know before you'd have a you'd have. a perimeter. of a thousand yards right for counter. sniper mhm and now you can have a guy. with a drone that can deliver a payload. from 10 or 15 kilometers away. if you and he can control that phone.

with four. 5G doesn't have to be radio controlled. so there's there's a lot of danger in a. lot of payloads there's not one drone. there can be 20 drones or you can they. can have an algorithm on there that. they'll swarm to converge on one. location that's a tough tough thing for. them to protect so again if you really. want to up the game then put some proper. Hunters on it does he I mean do does he.

have to use secret service from this. point forward I don't know I don't even. know what that would look like oh well. the. Pinkerton Allan Pinkerton the of the. Pinkerton detective agency detected an. original I think it was called the. Gunpowder Plot to assassinate Lincoln in. like. 1862 and so they took on a lot of that. security and Counter Intelligence role. during the Civil. War um. but then the Secret Service was.

formed supposedly as a side job to. protect presidents because the biggest. problem after the Civil War was. counterfeiting counterfeiting of all. this money so that was the main job of. the Secret Service of the treasury and. they were assigned the executive. protection. rule right before right after Lincoln. was. assassinated what would you do if you. were. Trump um make sure I would. I would put some additional Advanced.

people on whether they're Consultants. or get some detail ease over from black. Squadron or G Squadron to just do. additional Advance work to present a. list of options to say these are the 10. ways that I would kill Donald Trump. right now MH and make sure those 10 or. those 20 are blocked right and make sure. all those security measures are. taken. um make sure the team that's assigned to. him now is the A Team it's not a bunch.

of rehashed HSI agents and that makes me. think what the hell is HSI where did an. entire other Federal investigative. agency come. from out of Department of Homeland. Security I thought I thought DHS was. supposed to be a parent Organization for. all the different comp component parts. but now they have their own. investigative proctology function as. well it's alarming yes it is I I don't. know how you could. I don't know how you could trust any.

government organization at this point to. protect you if you were if you were. Trump well or anybody else even some of. the statements made by by some of the. Secret Service agents after the during. the. 2016 to 20 presidency I'm not going to. take a bullet for Donald Trump okay fine. then you don't need to work here anymore. this again the politic ation of. everything makes our country look more.

like the Soviet Union did not the. Republic that we're supposed to have. yeah so it only changes by bringing. accountability and professionalism back. to the ranks and if that means making. them a lot smaller significantly smaller. fine but at least build back with. something that you can actually rely on. what are the other ways that you would. be concerned they would try to kill. them look he's a very public outgoing. gregarious guy he loves to do the grip.

and you know the meet and greets in the. ice cream shop or the bakery or whatever. that's um that's an exposure that's. dangerous and it only takes one person. that looks like they're a trump. supporter to not be to Clack themselves. off or to stab or whatever so it's. um it's a dangerous time I wouldn't even. want to take a bite of food if I was. home at this. point well can't be paranoid.

can't be they just shot him in the head. um I. just what do you think about Biden. stepping down right after this and we. haven't seen him in what is it seven. days now I well it was definitely the. the cascading effects of a really really. bad debate I mean what a disaster and. and for them trying to medicate and. manage the medications or when he's up. and when he's down and and you know he's.

only available from what 9:00 to 4:00 in. the afternoon so make sure the enemies. don't attack us after yeah after working. hours. um I think um the the for all the talk. about democracy the Democrat Party is. not all about democracy because he was. chosen in the primary that they had and. now they've kind of pushed him out in a. almost pal coup even his. announcement and when ly when Johnson.

announced that he was not running for. the 68 election he spoke from the white. from the Oval Office with a somber. speech about why he wasn't doing it um. supposedly Biden was down with covid and. all the rest and then it's released on a. personal letter head if you look at the. signature it didn't look like any of the. previous 10 executive order signatures. that Joe Biden signed very publicly. under camera so I don't know it looks a.

little funny it does it does look funny. it's I mean do you think that this was a. planned distraction to get the the. assassination attempt out of the. media uh no I'd say the. the I think the Democrat Party bosses. the Obama Wing realized that. um uh. the support and the response of trump. after look you got to say Trump's.

response after they just shot his ear. was amazing was Brave and he responded. with you know fight fight fight good on. him bad on the protective detail for not. getting him the hell off the X because. obviously he's up and exposed so if. there was a second or third. shooter they would have shot so again no. other shooting no other shooting once. the uh the 20-year-old was down um. but I think the sympathy and the the.

momentum he built off of that and I. think the Dem leaders realized that. Biden was just not going to make it as a. candidate so push him out and push him. out now so they supposedly have a. convention and they you know trying to. push KLA Harris through it's interesting. that Obama has not endorsed Harris or. that wing and um and even BLM made a. very strong statement against anointing. her as the propos as the supposed.

nominee what do you think that. is um maybe Obama's thinking about. somebody else I don't know why does. everybody say why does everybody give. Obama this much power why is everybody. saying this is what Obama wants what. every other president when they leave. office leaves. Washington re miror pack it off go write. their Memoirs enjoy their grandkids. Barack Obama bought a house in. Georgetown still running still Staffing.

still. definitely having a policy role both. organizing the opposition to Trump and. certainly organizing significant um. input to the to the Biden. Administration that's not conspiracy. that's that's just known oh yeah I mean. he's also striking fear in in in the. heart of America I mean you saw did you. see that movie they released or produced. the uh was it called going on Civil War.

yeah I didn't see that the outage of. communications. yeah produced by Barack and Michelle. Obama. basically China. invades a lot of messaging going on is. what I'm getting at yeah look the idea. of a foreign power invading America it's. tough tough for to think about I mean. it's like you have 1.2 guns for every. person in America the ability to control.

American society would be quite. difficult I agree with you and I also. disagree I think that we're getting hit. from a lot of different angles that. don't that that that don't. constitute the typical Invasion that. we're thinking about we got the fentanyl. crisis happening from the cartels. China's behind just yesterday I had a um. spent the whole day with Williamson. County. Spartan and they were saying that the.

number one crime here right now. is the Chinese are coming in and. basically creating these scams with with. crypto currency and so they'll come and. to somebody and say Hey give us. $10,000 we'll double it within 2 weeks. then they actually double it so you get. you know 20 30 grand back. and they're doing this to to well-to-do.

affluent wealthy figures in. society the next investment's 500,000. it's a million it's 2 million and they. just picked a guy up that had scammed I. think they said $12.4. million out of somebody all this money. is going directly back to China and if. it's happened in this County then it's. probably happening in just about every. County. sure and so they're trying to deplete us.

of our own. currency um that's just cyber. criminality run a muck I mean that when. you just have when you have 1.4 billion. people and you have a criminal. class look the the fentel deaths last. year were the headline number is. 109,000 bad I think the numers the real. number is three to four times that so if. you think about we lost. 400,000 Kia in World War II so we're.

losing that much every year to. fentel organized propagated facilitated. by the Chinese Communist Party in the. last Mexican election there was 27. candidates that were assassinated by the. cartels funded. by uh or funded organized by the CCP to. promote the most left-wing side of. politics in Mexico so China is. definitely running multiple covert.

action programs against the United. States to destroy the society from the. inside they allow lots of cyber scams. all the rest that's a a great example of. you know buyer must beware and it's also. a good example if you think about how. the American West was settled and I hate. to sound like the constant spokesman for. the private sector but it's just fact. the American West in the you know the. post Civil War Wild West it was not.

settled by the US Army or even by the US. Marshals most of the law enforcement was. done by private organizations by the. Pinkerton and those kind of things. because you had the Pony Express which. was the way people communicated sent. mail or packages you had the railroads. you had Banks they were just getting. robbed by large gangs and it was not. um the government lacked the resources. in the focus really to run those gangs. down and to extinguish them and.

uh you even see that in Butch C the. Sundance Kid that old Robert Redford. movie they would Rob and pillage go. everywhere and the sheriff would always. stop at the County Line and the Marshall. would stop at this line the Army would. stop at this border but there was other. guys that just chased him and chased him. and chased him they kept looking back. who are those guys it was the pinkertons. so at that point the Pinkerton detective. agency had like six times the amount of. armed agents the Army did really so.

again nature hates a vacuum something's. going to fill. it for all the talk of defund the police. and we don't need police then you're. going to have cities like South Africa. where you have housing neighborhoods. that are surrounded by elect high. voltage electrified fences with access. gates that look like you're entering an. embassy with highly gunned up armed. private response because there's no. police that will come. people will.

self-organize you think. so it's historic what do you think we. should be doing right now we have a. government that is not functioning our. bord wide open this is Sol sending $80. million a week to the Taliban $80. million a week to a terrorist. organization that we fought for 20 plus. years Secret Service isn't functioning. FBI is completely.

distraught. yep spending is out of control it's it's. we have a president we haven't seen in a. week who is says he's unfit to run for a. second term but he's fit. to finish this term yeah good question. yikes I drove out here I drove across. Virginia and. Tennessee and it reminded me of how. great these states are and how big they.

are and how little they need the federal. government and I think the founding. fathers were brilliant in that you know. pass the Constitution but they wouldn't. pass the Constitution without the 10 uh. without the Bill of Rights and the 10th. Amendment is very specific it says any. power not specifically delegated to the. federal government Remains the sole. purview of the. states and I think it's very we're well. past due time time for states to flex up.

and to tell the federal government no on. a lot of things and if you're a border. state and the federal government is. clearly not enforcing border security. Mount up your National Guard Mount up. militia whatever it is Deport capture. Deport do what necessary to protect your. citizens and tell Washington to go f. right. off um and I think there's plenty of. states that would join with them and. doing that I think Co showed that how.

important local government is Right. sudden your mayor or your county. commissioner on whether you can go to. the shopping mall or go to church or. whatever again not an argument we ever. should have even had but you can see the. default the default fascist in people. that want to. control and good. governance should happen locally and. state. government uh is also much more uh. accountable and I think one of the real.

problems with the federal government. particularly with the Senate happened. when uh back in the Progressive Era and. the 19 like 110 years. ago when they passed an amendment which. took away uh it used to be that the. state legislators would elect the. Senators US senators but then they. changed it to be direct election so it's. you're now you're voting from Tennessee. to send your a senator on the problem. with that is it allows ows money from. not Tennessee but from everywhere to.

flood into Tennessee's election to. affect how that Senator is elected. instead. of that Senator that goes to represent. Tennessee be beholden to Tennessee's. interests and the state legislature who. elected him telling him what to do it. was a brilliant move by the founding. fathers terrible move by the. progressives the super leftists in the. 19 the the wood Wilson era to change. that and it allowed greater con ation of. federal power again when they passed.

that when they. passed uh the income tax because before. that it used to be that the federal. government was run solely off of. tariffs protect every every imported. good would get necked with a 15% tariff. gives a certain amount of protection to. domestic industry but not. unreasonable and um and that was it and. it and it capped the size of government. because you you're never going to grow. that tax base that much more so you've. had a massive concentration of federal.

power the Civil Service protections so. you have a bureaucracy that's been. growing steadily at the same time a fiat. currency that Congress can just print an. unlimited amount of budget deficit an. extra trillion dollars so what we spend. an extra trillion dollars that's their. mentality which has allowed the worst. aspects of federal bureaucracy and and. idiocy to now be. funded with. unlimited really unlimited money you see.

that in the wars that have been funded. 20year war in Afghanistan total fail. because there was never a guns or butter. decision that someone politician had to. make are we going to fund health care or. roads or are we going to fund a failed. war in Afghanistan no one had to make. that adult. decision so again this gets solved by. the power of the purse and. demanding that our elected legislators.

spend less money you can you're sick of. government you want less government. don't fund it trust me the bureaucrats. will not show up for. free you're sick of the of of a lack of. focus. in um the security agencies cut their. budget 30 40% you'll get their attention. and you'll get rid of a lot of bad eggs. the amount of Fraud and so so we're. seeing. incompetence even evil in these. institutions imagine how much fraud.

there is in all the healthc Care. transfer payments in in Social Security. in Medicare in Medicaid those still some. of our most expensive things that we. spend money on every year that's what's. bankrupting us as a country and it's. just blowing out. everywhere you can't even imagine the. amount of corruption. there do you think we're. seeing certain states start to.

align I think you're seeing some states. that have people a bit more aware of. just how bad it is but you know if you. think if you think state of Virginia if. it was a standalone state would have a. GDP the size are larger than. Austria Texas it's going to be one of. the fourth or fifth largest economies in. the world I think Florida's right up. there too California huge. if the federal government suddenly in. America got really really much.

smaller H that's not the worst. thing well I don't think they have any. plans on. reforming so you know I I feel like. we're starting to see we had a good. conversation about this on your first. interview and um I feel like we're. starting to see certain States. align and. for example the Texas border I know. Tennessee sent National Guard down there.

I know a couple other states did I can't. remember exactly which ones but I think. you're also. seeing states start to. pass Abbott was slow Abbott was slow in. taking action in Texas it's too bad he. should have flexed up and told the Feds. to pound sand a lot earlier I don't. disagree with you and since we're in. tenness. Andrew Jackson right he sent forces and.

he literally made the the victory he. made it possible for America to own the. mouth of the Mississippi River you think. about the War of 1812 the last battle. was fought I think in 1815 the Battle of. New Orleans led by Wild Man Jackson and. he won and um drove the British out of. uh out of North America that way so. there's plenty of precedent of States. sending like-minded capability to help.

each other out and to accomplish a. desired common. goal I I would argue that securing the. Border can and should be done across the. entirety of the. Border um I think one of the key. missions if Trump is elected is how do. you find how do you locate and Deport. the tens of millions of people that. entered here IL legally that don't. necessarily subscribe to the the. Republic that we've um that we've.

elected that we've served that we voted. on um we going to just import 10 or 20%. of the population for actual demographic. shift what you see in the Democratic. party is they're trying to register them. as. voters that's just that's not there how. are you how can you be a counterparty to. someone that. continually uh breaks any kind of. commonly U mutually understood rules. there doesn't appear to be any rules.

anymore to me it become if you have no. rule of law that it becomes rule of. force and that's an entirely different. equation and that's a horrible road to. go down so I really hope people fully. evaluate the choices they're making well. I hope so too but it it I it just see it. seems to be getting worse and worse and. worse and I'm trying I am really trying. to find some hope here the only hope.

I've seen are are these few states that. have that seem to be alignment I know. Louisiana is in there too will send a. National Guard I think that we're. seeing. states start to. pass very right. legislation uh very unforgiving abortion. laws I think it was a 20 6 out of 28. Republican states now have open carry I.

believe that's the number and these I. mean everybody seems to be falling into. line here yeah and it it will make it. um I did I did the same thing I'm I'm a. Wyoming resident and um I bought a. billboard between uh uh during covid. because there was a lot of people moving. there from from California and I bought. the billboard and I said don't. California are. [Applause]. Cody did did they do it um did they. California not yet part of it well.

around Jackson yes but uh most of most. of Wyoming is very normal Wyoming is. Wyoming still is what America was that's. nice to hear the State starting to. change with all of them coming here. but do you think these Governors are. having conversations behind closed. doors about what's. happening I don't know I don't have a. lot of interaction with uh with. Governors but I I certainly hope they. take their roles very seriously.

and. um if you think about how much rightly. how much influence local and and state. governments have over our day-to-day. lives is much more than the federal. government the whole thing the whole. reason this is out of balance is because. the federal government has just gotten. way too big and and all that needs to be. put on a diet and that will. require cuz unfortunately it's not just. up to the power of a few individuals. anymore or voters you need States as.

with the with. the with the infrastructure Logistics. and and economic power they can muster. to again tell the federal government to. go on a diet when we. say when people say they tried to kill. them they are after us who do you think. everybody is referring to is it is it. the left is it the Deep state is it is. it one and the same what is it who is.

they the most popular political party. well the most successful political party. of the 20th century was the Socialist. Workers Party con uh Convention of like. 1924 and they laid out in their party. platform all the things that have. actually been enacted by the Democratic. party right cradle togra welfare. marginal income tax inheritance. taxes um the full spectrum of government. programs.

everywhere and so there is. still a there's a lot of people that. still believe in the the the lies of. Marxism leninism of Communism of a. collectivism and there are some people. that default to thinking like a. collectivist and they think well we can. actually. achieve power and we can achieve. Paradise if only we're in charge and and. we're allowed to make all these. decisions. and so that's who they are it's people.

that are the natural collectivists. controlling people that want to control. pretty much any aspect of your life so. what the Chinese Communist Party does. they have a very different Paradigm we. believe in individual liberty they. believe in unity and control and control. by the. party what you're seeing the Democratic. party do in. removing Biden from.

candidacy and now what trade they're. going to pull for a convention and uh a. hurry up reselection of a candidate and. now with the with the with their toes. and cronies and the media promoting. either K Harris or whoever whoever they. end up putting on the ticket um there is. a a collectivist elite that um focus on. that and it's probably you know good. journalism would be exposing that and um.

again bright disinfectant lights of. Truth on who the who those shot callers. are is. important I want to I just want to. rewind real quick back to the I. mean I don't know any other way to say. it. people people are. concerned they're [ __ ] tired of. what's going on. I see it in the comments all the time. when are we going to do something when.

are we going to do something and it's. been it's been going on for eight plus. years. now easy to type very easy to type hard. to hard to do yeah what it causes I mean. look think about what that what that. means that's. enormous and it's not about taking up. arms and doing something it's about. showing up at the Schoolboard meeting. and calling bull [ __ ] on the person. that's pushing training stuff to your. kids or whatever.

other nonsense right it's it's it's. showing up it's turning off the football. game and showing up. to these local governance things or. canvasing your local. um uh elections and getting your own. friends siblings cousins kids to turn. out and vote making sure they're. educated on the issues it's it's not. about you know jocking up going to war.

it's about this is this has got to be. solved at The Ballot Box it's still. possible to solve with The Ballot Box so. it doesn't have to be solved with a. cartridge box is it still possible to be. solved with The Ballot Box yes sure how. many illegals just entered this country. a lot how many of them are going to. vote fair question there's some there's. some good lawsuits being filed right now. to a number of those um boards in those. States forcing them to. delineate um forcing them to take action.

so that you get a judge decision before. the election because judges after the. election are not going to throw out. elections they're just they're just too. scared. but there's a lot of parts of the. country that you can still run honest. elections and still contest hell even. heck even in even in California Steve. Garvey has a reasonable shot of beating. Adam Schiff for the Senate be a great.

sign it would be do you think that they. are allowing. these illegals to flood in so they can. keep the electoral votes sure with the. with the outflux that is a combination. of big business which wants cheap labor. because look I I run a manufacturing. business in America it is hard to get. people to show up and want to work in a. factory because you. have uh the economy rolling you have. massive still amounts of federal.

transfer programs for welfare and so if. you're competing with somebody staying. on the couch and watching TV versus. showing up at a factory and they might. get paid the same as if they stay home. they're going to choose to stay home so. again um but big business needs labor. and they want to drive their labor cost. down come on so they abuse the H1B Visa. programs they they they abuse a lot of. that because they can because they pay.

their lobbyists who pay politicians to. keep those Visa programs going and uh. and the Dems have a very concerted. effort to open the Border they they. touted it Biden and kamla Harris who was. supposed to be the borders are made all. kinds of points of how they undid all. the Trump border policies and now you. have what 15 20 million people rolling. in yeah that's a combination of. demographic replacement and um uh and.

cheap labor for big. business I mean 20 million illegals. that's. 25% of Biden's vote last election 81. million votes if there's if he actually. got 81 million votes if he actually got. them now it's 101 million if they if. they vote them all which I'm sure. they'll try. to it doesn't seem to me like there's. anything off the table at this.

point I read a lot of history and it. actually has been worse so we not there. yet do we have to go worse before we see. better I sure hope not what does worse. look. like um unbelievable tribal. Slaughter you. I I don't think.

a the last Civil War was largely. [Music]. over yes slavery was a factor but uh. industrial control of the South by the. North and tariffs and all those things. played a huge Factor the fact is of the. people that fought for the South very. very few I think less than 5% actually. own slaves. so they were playing to defend the way.

they wanted to govern themselves or the. way they wanted to trade with Europe or. an agrarian based. economy um so I'm not here to relitigate. the entire Civil War. but uh today it is that political divide. is largely rural versus. Urban which would play out very. differently it's not Regional it's not. North versus South. it's it's uh it's County and you know.

rural areas versus. cities and that's that can be ugly how. close are we to. that well uh if if Trump was. assassinated and the Gap and the chaos. that would have ensued who knows what. would have happened and who knows what. the federal overreach would have been. and um yeah there's a there's a lot of. people that don't have a lot of. confidence in the federal institutions. anymore and it doesn't take um it.

doesn't take much do you have confidence. in any Federal Institution that. exists I have a lot of confidence in the. men from the units than the kind of. units that we came. from I don't have I don't know I don't. have Supreme confidence in all the. officers but I have a lot of confidence. in let's say 04 05 and below. because they they're the right kind of. people I recently attended a um a.

special forces Q course graduation and. it was it was so heartening it was 220. studs they knew exactly which bathroom. to use they were there to serve their. country and it was great I'm glad they. know what bathroom to use that's great. to hear I can't even believe we're. talking about that right now but I say. that Tu and Che yeah yeah yeah but um. well Eric let's take a let's take a. quick break. fabric by Gerber Life is term life.

I want to tell you about this business. venture I've been on for about the past. 78 months and it's finally come to. fruition I've been hellbent on finding. the cleanest functional mushroom. supplement on the planet and that all. kind of stemmed from the Psychedelic. treatment I did came out of it got a ton. of benefits haven't had had a drop of. alcohol in almost 2 years I'm more in. the moment with my family and that led.

me down researching the benefits of just. everyday functional mushrooms and I. started taking some supplements I found. some coffee Replacements I even repped a. brand and you know it got to the point. where I just wanted the finest. ingredients available no matter where. they come from and it it it got to this. point where I was just going to start my. own brand and so we started going to. trade shows and and looking for the.

finest ingredients and in doing that I. ran into this guy maybe you've heard of. him his name's lared Hamilton and his. wife Gabby Reese and they have an entire. line of supplements with all the finest. ingredients and we got to talking turns. out they have the perfect functional. mushroom supplement it's actually called. performance. mushrooms and this has everything it's.

USDA organic it's got chaga cceps Lion's. man. Miaki this stuff is amazing for energy. balance for cognition look just being. honest see a lot of people taking care. of their bodies I do not see a lot of. people taking care of their. brain this is the product guys and so we. got to talking and our values seemed. very aligned we're both into the. functional.

mushrooms and after a lot of back and. forth I am now a shareholder in the. company I have a small amount of. ownership and I'm just look I'm just. really proud to be repping and be a part. of the company that's making the best. functional mushroom supplement on the. planet you can get this stuff it layered. superfoods. you can use the promo code SRS that'll. get you 20% off these performance.

mushrooms or anything in the store they. got a ton of good stuff once again. that's layered superfoods.com use the. promo code SRS that get you 20% off you. guys are going to love this stuff I. guarantee. it all right Eric we're back from the. the break and we had a lot of mini. conversations there something that I.

want to talk to you about is government. agency overreach and we kind of talked. about Governors. aligning people aligning I think there's. a lot of really good ideas out there and. I don't think that they are being talked. about on mass scale because I I think PE. everybody's worried that somebody's. listening to their phone and. which we'll get into the one of the. solutions to that but I want I want to I.

just want to pick your brain about well. the first time we talked about two years. ago now MH I mentioned the Chevron. difference right the chevron case and. how it unleashed the federal. bureaucratic State because in 1984 there. was a Supreme Court case natural. resources defense Council versus Chevron. and there the Supreme Court actually. just basically punted and gave the. regulatory authority to the EPA and gave.

them basically by by judicial decree the. means to write law and so they the court. gave them an inch and they've taken. miles since then like 70 to 80,000 pages. of new regulations which has the force. of law every year since then that's one. of the reasons we have a runaway. regulatory. state but this last spring the Supreme. Court nicked it God bless these.

fishermen I think there was fishermen in. in. Massachusetts they were sick because. some fishery regulator was making them. pay $700 a day for a fishery bureaucrat. to Ride Along on their fishing boat and. to provide accommodation for them and. those guys said enough of this what. we're talking about put down the remote. control for the TV push back fight back. these guys actually fought that case. funded it all the way to the Supreme. court and they. won and now that is going to.

unleash the private sector and Patriots. to be able to push back on overreaching. Federal Federal Regulations everywhere. so as a as a citizen and a person that. believes in very limited government this. is a huge step forward but what the. federal government has done particularly. after. 9911 uh is they've really gotten. um they've engorged on data.

collection after 911 hits the the. basically advertising firms came forward. with some user data trying to find. attributes similar to the 19 911. hijackers to find other needles and a. stack of. needles and they did that and the. federal government got used to it and. they really started buying put out the. demand signal for more and more of that. consumer. advertising type data and then you hit. the convergence of smartphones coming.

out in 2009. 1011 when Google and apple put software. developer kits for each of the apps that. are going to go on their phones either. on an Apple phone or on an Android. running Google mobile. services that software development kit. in exchange for that app going on the. the free app going on uh the device is. enabled to collect and Export all of. that customer data where you go what you.

buy who you call what you browse turns. on the microphone the camera the. GPS because all those free apps they're. not doing it because they like you. they're doing it because they're. harvesting your data you become the. product and so that you know over the. last few years the federal agencies were. getting. somewhat um not beat up that's a that's. to strong of a term criticized by. Congress for buying all of this consumer.

data that that we have willingly given. right when you when you buy uh an an. apple or a um Android type phone and you. you scroll through that user agreement. that nobody actually reads they say. basically yeah we are collecting and. exporting your data that's what we're. doing um because of that. that we've consented to it this entire. industry it's really it's called.

surveillance capitalism there's a. fantastic book written by Byron toao. called the means of control and it is. shocking of how this industry was. created um how some of the early federal. government attempts at collecting this. data were actually shut down by a. privacy by privacy worries in Congress. but how basically the Pentagon rebadged. it and started colleting ing more and. more and more of this data but like I. said federal agencies got sick of being.

criticized so what they do in this last. fisa it's not an extension it was a. massive expansion what they passed is. that any federal agent can go to any one. of these companies whether. it's app uh information data on you from. a banking app travel a gaming app um. WhatsApp any messaging app email service. whatever they can collect all of that. data on you with no probable cause and.

certainly without a. warrant so yeah it is a massive without. a warrant without a. warrant what kind of information would. they be getting I think there's a lot of. people that don't understand what kind. of data is being being transfer every. message Zuckerberg paid $20 billion for. WhatsApp because every message that. passes through every every text every. picture every call every voice note.

analyzed by their algorithm to sell. advertising they take your data if. you're using Whatsapp they take that. data to figure out which your. preferences to to to sell those. preferences to an advertising firm. that's why Google and apple and the. other big you know big three big five. tech firms are some of the largest. economies on earth when if you if you. have their combined gdps it's one of the. largest count on the planet it's. shocking and it's and it started after.

9/11 and it exploded as smartphones came. into being and that's. why it is amazing what people give up. willingly and largely out of ignorance. and and a lot of people think well I. don't care but now in an era of. AI um where now machines can start to. um I don't know groom your preferences. Apple just announced that in their next. upgrade coming this fall that they're. going to actually put jet GPT on every.

iPhone to collect and analyze all the. data of yours that's flowing through an. iPhone if you're using it it's it is. shocking uh what big Tech thinks they. can do to get away with and and look. some people are sheep and they want to. live like sheep and be treated like. sheep and I you know not everyone is a. sheep well you're so concerned concerned. about it you co-founded unplugged. yeah I having been um having having seen.

the abuses of law enforcement and a. politicized politicized government. organs and especially after the 2020. election um seeing them cancel certain. voices throwing people off of app stores. or whatever for being an election denier. or questioning covid or all this. nonsense I said we got to have a our own. phone independent of the Google and. apple universe that they can't cancel.

and because we had a team together. already that had done uh a lot of. offense and defensive cyber around. phones including building a completely. separate operating system for a secure. phone and even one that controls. pacemakers um we did it and uh yeah we. we we got unplugged to Market you've. talked about it with your customers we. well hope you're using your. phone got it right here right on we got. the whole team these we set up the whole.

uh massud interview and Vienna good with. these and Gabe massud one is if you. watched it you know but um I am curious. who helped you who helped you develop. this uh Tech Team in our CEO is um I. name Ryan Patterson and he is a xmarine. DARPA guy um built a company that does. most of the uh Communications into. denied areas for the. USG um and uh the our CTO is actually.

the guy that developed. Pegasus are you are you [ __ ] me yeah. he developed Pegasus he developed. Pegasus he's an Israeli guy but that. scares the [ __ ] out of me do you want to. talk about Pegasus but he developed. Pegasus as a way for a company as a for. a phone company to do service if you. have a problem with your phone they send. you a text you click on the text they. can take over your phone fix it remotely. and then leave when it be when when when.

the company traded hands he left when he. became offensive he left and he built a. it's called the intact phone which is a. highly secure government phone and then. he left and built the um a phone that. controls most of the world's pacemakers. so not not just having to De with. intelligence and government related. stuff but literally a healthcare. controlling a healthcare device that. goes in someone's body cuz like when um. when Cheney was pres vice president the. main Secret Service concern then was.

someone hacking his his pacemaker. because you can't have a hackable. pacemaker so yes fair question from a. you know we we've done all the third. party penetration testing is there back. doors all the rest we put out huge. bounties at the uh defon hacker. conference to say this is our messenger. this is our operating system if you can. hack it there's Bitcoin wallets in these. places if you can hack it.

great nobody's hacked it still got the. Bitcoin and it's a it's a lot more. valuable now. too well that's good to hear what are. some of the I mean I know some of the. features and uh I I just told you I. spent yesterday at the uh sheriff's. department and I some of the tech they. have I was it's been a minute since uh. it's been about 10 years since I've been. with the agency and the tech that the. local sheriff sparin has now crushes. what I was involved in and what I had.

access to right and uh so whether it's. Stingray stuff the ad IDs all this stuff. it's all based on the exhaust given off. by your Google or Android type phone. right what what even the the the. Heritage Foundation running checks on. the ad IDs that so each each Google or. Apple phone has a like a 32 digigit. advertising ID it's a code some could. call it the mark of the beast that. follows that device around everywhere.

and that's how the tech companies track. where that device goes to figure out. proximity for advertising sales and who. you're interacting with in your schedule. the average kid in America by the time. they reach the age of 13 has had 72. million data points collected on them by. big Tech wow using that advertising ID. wow so again we did unplugged as a way. for people to still communicate in the. world but not be giving off all their.

Digital Data to Big Tech to people that. really don't like them that. um yeah so you can use pretty much all. the same apps that you're used to but. they're not providing you the customized. experience because it's not leaking. sending all of your data out every night. we did a a side by-side test between our. phone. and Google and apples and uh the Google. and Apple phones seem to wake up between.

2: and 3 at night and they have this. huge like a 50 megabyte data dump that. is sent out from the phone every night. basically that that phone phoning home. sending off your preferences everything. you've done that day ours doesn't. wow wow the uh in the the book um the. means of control. talks about a DH there was a d DHS agent. interviewed about using some of this.

early adtech stuff and he demoed it and. he tested it on. himself and sure enough from the ad ID. alone he could figure out which he could. confirm which side of the bed he was. sleeping on in his. house so again some people are fine. being sheep we are for the non-. Sheep I'm a non sheep but uh what are. some of the what are some of the other. features on the phone I know it has the.

kill switch we have a we have a kill. switch which physically separates the. electronics from the battery because if. you if you try to shut off your existing. phone it doesn't actually shut off it uh. it's still listening it's still pinging. towers and still pinging Wi-Fi building. a digital breadcrumb Trail uh we have a. secure messenger with a dump feature. with uh if someone tries to take your. phone and force you to unlock it you can. unlock it with a called the clear pin. data code and it wipes it and it will. brick the phone so again it's the phone.

is for free people that want to be. secure in their first and Fourth. Amendment rights the right to free. speech and your Fourth Amendment right. to be free of uh of illegal searches. because because what what what this fisa. expansion is is I cannot imagine it. stands up constitutionally because it is. so beyond the pale of anything that's. legal. put it this way the founding fathers. went to war over over taxes on on land.

transfer stamps the Stamp. Act where basically with that with that. fisa expansion that even some. Republicans voted. for terrible terrible ter it literally. allows government into every aspect of. your Digital Life with no warrant and. with no probable cause just because they. don't like Shawn Ryan I know they don't. like me. but um join the club do you think that. do you think you guys will develop some. type of a computer as well yeah we've.

talked about a tablet and then a um um a. laptop as well listen we woke up three. years ago and decided to take on two. multi-trillion dollar. companies Pro walk run brother we're. we're getting there yeah yeah I'm just. excited I'm I listen our messenger also. works in a browser so you can use it as. a uh to replace email because it's not. sending emails but we can send secure. messages that you can burn that uh that.

that you can send with a uh with an. expir time I want to talk to you about. Taiwan what do you have to say about. what's going on over there. uh the CCP definely desperately wants it. back they've been they've been like a a. boa constrictor moving closer and closer. and the interesting thing well the sad. thing is while everyone's been focused. on Taiwan itself they have been moving. heavily diplomatically and with a lot of. black bag diplomacy cash into a lot of.

islands that that um World War. II um history fans will recognize like. the Solomons guad Canal those islands. they have been setting up bases. diplomatic relations doing all kinds of. infrastructure Investments choking off. and basically um uh building significant. capacity outside the first and second. chain uh of islands so the the islands. that Marines and army fought for to.

recapture from the Japanese empire are. now basically. being because the US is asleep with the. switch in the same way that the Obama. Administration was asleep at the switch. when the Chinese moved into the South. China Sea and built all kinds of islands. out of stuff that was reefs basically. dredging build an island and the Chinese. would say well this is not anything. milit AR it's really just a search and. rescue and a weather station [ __ ]. it's.

a in my in my travels in China I. actually met the the the former CEO of. China Harbor and dredge I said this in a. previous. interview they had no plans to do that. but they found the Obama Administration. to be so vapid they just went for it and. built these islands now diplomatically. China is moving into these islands tiny. islands with maybe 50,000 people as as. Citizens. but they have you know millions of. square miles of ocean. space and the US is asleep of the switch.

and so we're getting displaced so. it's um elections have consequences man. and there's just a lot not a lot of good. things happening on the uh on the Asia. front and and and and at the same. time the Taiwanese still believe Uncle. sugar is going to bail them out and. they're not very focused on um building. and preparing in. Readiness and uh US military leadership. keeps defaulting towards the same big.

um very expensive weapon systems and I. think um I think the Ukraine war is. showing that big and exotic weapon. systems are subject. to um to being destroyed and certainly. being targeted there there's so much the. P for plenty volume that China can throw. at Taiwan or at US Navy ships is um is. very very dangerous interesting and I I.

thought. I still possible they can go this fall. and take it militarily but now seeing. what they're doing diplomatically. they're able to choke. off much of the of this not just the. South China Sea but even Islands between. there and Australia diplomatically and. get their bases established the same way. what do you think Australia thinks of. all this how can concerned are they uh. they're quite concerned but they've had. runaway immigration for a long time they.

have a huge Chinese population which is. probably not as averse to China as. Australian citizens. are and. um uh and again they're also misled. they're they're now buying very. expensive nuclear submarines from the. United States when they could buy eight. times as many right now that are diesel. electric that would be more potent more. capable and in harder for the the CCP to. track and locate and and defeat so again.

the there what you're seeing in Ukraine. a massive step change in. Warfare um a an fpv. drone carrying a charge this size that. you can 3D print next to the battlefield. fill it with explosives with a $700 fpv. racing drone with a with a different. software on it but that charge that you. can fly out to 10 20 30 km and drive it.

into a tank an artillery piece a command. bunker into a trench it's democratized. Force it's it's democratized Precision. strike literally down to uh to one man. so you can carry six of those drones in. your backpack Patrol up and go to work. it's it I I I think well I know US. military is not paying attention to it. certainly not learning the lessons from.

it and our assumptions of all of our. stuff right because we've spent hundreds. of billions trillions of dollars on. defense. stuff and it's all very subject to being. obsolescent by that level of speed and. precision and um ability to deliver very. dangerous kinetic. strikes how do you defend against that. I think there's a window right now of. two or three years where Advance.

Advantage has gone to the offense right. the guy flying the pilots you know. something as simple as Nets big cargo. Nets around your stuff stops that stops. the small. drone um hard kill Solutions will be. developed hard kill like air bursting. rounds drones that kill other drones but. again e economics is a huge factor in. Warfare and trying to be affordable. is not something the US has ever been. very good at have you do you have any. insight on some of these energy weapons.

that are being. developed. um I yes there's there's certainly a lot. being spent across the Spectrum but we. both know one of the things that is. prevalent on the battlefield is smoke. and dust lasers don't do so well in. Smoke and dust lasers don't do so well. in fog and rainy days and low cloudy. days what does work every time is an air. bursting round I've got to send you this. company that I found online I think it's.

called epirus have you heard of it no it. it is it looks like an. old it looks like an old rocket launcher. okay that that attaches to the they just. tow behind a truck and these things are. taken out 20 30 drones at a time just I. mean and and it's to my understanding. that they can they can actually pick. what happens they can take control of. the drones or helicopters or whatever.

they can fry it they all drop at the. same time there's no am directed energy. weapon then it is it's a it's basically. the way I understand it is it is a. directed. EMP okay well I got to send you this. good please I will I. will I probably need to park one of. those around uh outdoor prison. presidential events might be a good idea. but uh prob probably won't happen I know.

they're deploying them to Ukraine I. think they may have sent a couple to. Israel I'm not sure but. uh but um speaking even Israel for as. much they've spent billions on high. altitude intercept and Iron Dome to. shoot down incoming Rockets 50% of the. loitering Munitions that are launched. from the north from H controlled areas. are getting through I did not realize. that it's a huge problem and it's. dinging them.

hard wow so they built This Magnificent. high fence but the very lowlevel kind of. nap of the earth loitering munition is. causing real problems interesting so. it's an example of it's very dangerous. to. assume speaking of Israel how many times. have You' been over there since October. 7th I was there a couple times in. November December because I was trying. to get them there one thing I understand.

is military bureaucracies and the IDF. has a lot of brave but stubborn people. and I knew they'd have a problem with. the. tunnels and uh I didn't think they'd. have a a very good idea of of the. technology that's grown in directional. horizontal drilling and so I brought. them a uh a solution because I think the. reason they're having so much problems. is they literally walked into the fight. that Hamas wanted to have Hamas wants to. maximize civilian casualties and to draw.

them into urban combat and so the amount. of bombing that the Israelis have done. in and around. civilians whatever the number is Hamas. says it's this number IDF says it's this. number it's it's really really given. them a black eye in the international. media and I was trying to prevent that. and prevent Civ from getting killed in. the crossfire of all this bombing by. bringing the best of Texas in horizontal.

drilling to um to flood the tunnels and. had I mean even uh 12,000 horsepower. turbine engines driving pumps move in. 60,000 gallons a minute so you're. feeling an Olympic swimming pool in in a. few. seconds uh to be able to drill. horizontally and once you hit tunnels to. just flood it what have done three. things flooded all their underground. arms cachets would have prevented them. using Tunnels for maneuver and.

three some say well it would have. drowned the hostages no it would have. forced them to move the hostages because. they don't want dead hostages H dead. hostages are worth nothing to Hamas. they'd have to move them it would at. least taken away the underground fight. because there was no. civilians maybe hostages but there's no. civilians in those. tunnels and uh they they didn't go with. that plan largely because of pentagon. gave them pressure not to I'm shocked at. how subjugated even the IDF was to the. Biden Pentagon and so it's it's ugly.

Hamas is still not defeated they're now. what nine months past October 7 and it's. still not. resolved it's it's too bad it seems to. be. growing yes well and and and with what. the hoties are doing shutting off the. Red Sea Egypt is losing $800 million a. month okay in. fees this the Arab Street in Egypt is. extremely now hostile to Israel even the.

Christians in Egypt hostile to Israel. because of the video right the the. non-stop El. jazer um Pro Palestinian pramas. propaganda um and the Israelis blundered. into it it was stupid it was stupid they. should have they Hamas would not have. been expecting to turn Gaza into a duck. impoundment and I'm doing that and I. advocated that that to protect civilians. from the inevitability of combat not to. hurt them if it's one thing I understand.

is moving water having built black water. on 7,000 Acres of of land as flat as. your kitchen table we had to move a lot. of water yeah. bad why are we behind. Israel there's been a historic. long-term Alliance as a democracy in the. Middle. East and is this a one-sided.

Alliance there's a lot of tech that. comes out of Israel that the US benefits. from pretty good Intel I would I would. say as well but I would say it's it's. not a uh well look what alliance does. America have that's actually equal NATO. is not an alliance NATO is a. protectorate when Trump took over five. of 28 countries were actually paying the. 2% of their gdps for defense now it's up. to 11 now it's up to 11 out of 28 but. still not I mean.

Germany third largest economy in the. world they're not anywhere close to. paying 2% of their defense yet they're. just not taking it seriously Norway with. a trillion dollar Sovereign wealth fund. it's read on a website you can see it. ticking up in value they spend like 1.2%. why are we defending them no that's. again I wrote a big article on on neocon. foreign policy failure. I'm I'm all in favor of Defending. allies but not protectorates our tax.

dollars and our sons do not need to. protect protectorates that's that's. that's kind of what I'm getting at and. and I'm. not I'm not anti-israel I just want to. know you. know I'm just getting tired of us. funding everybody's. Wars power the purse cut it off we need. a we need a a we need a thorough house. cleaning of the Pentagon and the really. bad habits a.

thorough um Rec competitiveness of. American defense industry you know we. used to have a 100 major defense. contractors we're down to five now and. they really do behave like a cartel so. fine break up that cartel Teddy. Roosevelt one of the greatest things he. did was trust busting was busting up the. huge cartelized Industries in America. defense is one of those insurance is one. of those banking that's a whole another. story but but we spend way too much on.

defense because of really bad really. stupid procurement policies driven by. Congress that uh reward really bad. behavior from these very bloated very. bloated customers that that have really. started to look exactly like the federal. government. customer that's probably that's probably. why big government hated Blackwater so. much is because I would say to our. people all the time we never want to. look like act like uh at the speed of of.

our. customers. ever you know you keep talking about. power of the purse and and and we're. wrapping up this interview I want it to. be a quick fast-paced interview but I. mean what what. can people. do they should go to their congressman's. Town Hall meetings and get in their face. about spending less about cutting.

defense about cutting their spending on. everything cut money politicians will. respond to people angry in their face at. those Town Hall meetings they will get. angry about. it Heritage Foundation those kind of. organizations have lots of good material. on on reducing the size of government. read up on that stuff and and get in. your congressman's face whether they're. Republican or Democrat they will. understand angry voters because they're. all afraid they just want to be.

reelected I'm just curious on your. opinion what what percentage of the. United States do you. think is going to act and the reason I'm. asking hear me. out I brought up the massud interview. earlier for sending $87 million a week. to a terrorist. organization so. we went to Vienna we interviewed massud. to get to get some insight into we we we.

we we made a petition for people to sign. we're going to get it to representative. McCall out of Texas chairman of the. house Foreign Affairs committee. yes at the time 650,000 people had. watched that interview double that on. audio that's 1.2 1.3 million plus all of. the clips reals post and [ __ ] that we. did across all the platforms we're. probably talking about 5 to 6 million. views uh of people who've seen who've.

seen that interview who've seen hey this. is how much money we're spending on. funding terrorist organizations and you. and I are paying for it we got 66,000. signatures out of 6 million people. watching the. content so then I did a. I did a small post basically you know. expressing my concern and saying this is. this is why nothing ever changes in this.

in this [ __ ] country because you're. too lazy to get off your ass and sign a. [ __ ]. petition now we we just had a discussion. now now that's up to 200 and something. thousand and uh thanks to some people. that got behind me like our friend. Tucker Carlson who reposted the the the. tweet. but and and there is an argument some. people are saying you know what is a.

petition going to do that's not going to. do anything well I think it is going to. do something because it's 200 and. something thousand people who. are basically calling macall out to. bring massud into the most important to. get 100 or 200,000 voters in his. district educated and pissed off on that. to say hey this is enough enough of this. cut it off um I think. there's there's cynicism of how Imperial.

Washington has become and. unresponsive if you think we haven't. added and I hate to say this so there's. 435. congressmen and it used to be we haven't. changed that number in almost 110. years because it used to be and that was. when the country was a third or less the. size so you had fewer people per. congressional district so you could get. in the face and be much more and make.

that member much more responsive but now. this it's about 500 5 to 600,000 people. per per congressional district they just. have to stitch together a few inan. constituencies and tell the rest of them. to pound sand one of the reforms that. should probably be considered on top of. obviously spending reforms is to. increase the number of congressmen I. hate to say that CU there would be more. politicians but maybe maybe grow the. number of politicians keep the salary.

the salary pool the same so they just. get paid less less staff and make them. much more responsive to their. constituents at home because the house. is supposed to be responsive every two. years the Senate is supposed to be the. more steady um the steady deliberate. deliberative body but elected by the. state legislators that's if we get back. to those things that the founders. intended. that's one of some of the structural. problems that have let us go this far. off. track but again if you're pissed off.

will your Congressman go to a town hall. meeting get in their face can you please. help me understand how more congressmen. is going to help because it' be more. responsive to. because in because if we went to half. the number of congressmen so now you're. now you're at a couple million people. it's it's easier than more the more. direct elected that member is the more. responsive they are to the mood of the. country at the.

time just like ah just like local. elections can be when people get pissed. off locally they turn out and vote for. their mayor because it's going to affect. the stop signs or whether the streets. are clean or the local. police what do you think it's going to. take to get more Americans involved in. doing. that they have to get past affluenza. right right things are so good they're. so comfortable so much wealth in. America um that it's easy right we have.

a we have an obesity epidemic right 70. plus percent of people are seriously. overweight enough I travel a lot it is. embarrassing to see how obese Americans. are obviously Americans are walking. around in Europe or Asia or South. America like come on people put the. sugar down enough yeah yeah get off the. affluenza yeah. I want to end this on a positive note. what it's been yes easy good go it's.

been it's always been much. worse it's always been there's. been we've gone through America's been. far worse off before okay think. about think about um American Civil. War 600,000 people dead. um even after World War I there was. millions of people died of Spanish Flu. actual flu that killed lots of people.

killed them not the nonsense that was. covid uh the Great Depression serious. serious economic hardships actual. starvation in parts of. America so yeah we've got some issues. now but it's fixable if we have we been. up against anything like this. before well. this is a fundamental defining issue.

of of how we view ourselves as Citizens. in a. government the we talked about before. the the Socialist or the Communist. Paradigm is really about control and. subjecting yourself to a government. Elite a party Elite determining what is. best for your life versus the Paradigm. of freedom of individual liberty and. choice for that. you make those changes to organize your.

life in the way that you want to choose. and uh that Clash has been ongoing for. for Millennia and I would always choose. a side of. Freedom thank you for sharing that last. question if Trump gets. elected do you have a spot in his. administration I hope not. I would love to serve but there's lots. of ways to serve maybe not with a. full-time government job fair enough let.

me end with this well let me end with a. with a motivating story my favorite. story from the American Revolution. Samuel. Whitmore he 78 years old in April of. 1775 he's a a military veteran veteran. of the French and Indian Wars and he. hears the British soldiers marching by. to go attack his buddies the Patriots at. Lexington and Concord well Sammy. Whitmore at 78 years old goes and guns. himself up loads his pistol his two. pistols and his musket and he goes out. and he single-handedly attacks the.

British marching by he kills three. British soldiers he draws his sword. which doesn't need reloading and he. attacks the British overwhelm him they. shoot him in the face they bayonet him. six times when the Patriots found him an. hour later he was trying to. reload he lived for 18 more. years wow so it's a great example. however old you are you are never too. old to be out of the fight nice well. Eric once again thank you for coming and.
