➡ The text discusses the issue of drug trafficking into the United States and the strong measures taken to combat it, including the destruction of a boat carrying drugs. The author supports these actions, arguing that they protect American lives from the dangers of drugs like fentanyl and meth. The author also criticizes those who question these actions, suggesting that they should consider the devastating impact of drugs on American families. The text ends by questioning why anyone would doubt the government’s claims about the boat’s cargo and its connections to drug trafficking.

➡ The article discusses the U.S. government’s strategy to combat drug trafficking, suggesting that rather than using military force, the plan may be to disrupt the cartels’ operations by seizing and destroying their supplies. This approach, it argues, could be more effective and less costly in terms of lives lost. The article also mentions the importance of public support in maintaining such initiatives, and encourages readers to contribute to their local networks to ensure the continuation of uncensored news coverage.

➡ The article discusses the controversial issue of drug trafficking from Venezuela to the U.S. and the U.S. government’s response. The author argues that despite the lack of public evidence, the U.S. government’s actions, such as using drones to target drug traffickers, are justified to protect American citizens from the harmful effects of drugs. The author also criticizes those who focus on the identities of the drug traffickers, arguing that their actions are more important than their identities. The author concludes by supporting the government’s tough stance on drug trafficking, even if it means using force.

➡ The speaker discusses the importance of personal responsibility and the impact of decisions on one’s life, using the example of drug running. They highlight the role of the internet in providing information and evidence, and express gratitude for actions taken to combat drug trafficking. The speaker also shares personal experiences of seeing the darker side of humanity, and emphasizes the need for strong leadership and decision-making, even when it may seem extreme. They encourage considering the effects of each decision on oneself, family, and community, and stress that sometimes, stern action is necessary to address harmful behavior.

➡ The speaker expresses gratitude for the stern actions taken by the Trump administration to ensure safety in America. They believe that all Americans, regardless of their political views, deserve to feel secure in their communities. The speaker also criticizes the financial support given to Israel, suggesting that the money could be better used domestically. Lastly, they promote products from Pet Club 247 and American Hemp Hub, which they claim can improve pet health and human wellbeing, respectively.

Well, folks, it seems as though we are finally the United States of. Oops. The United States of America is finally taking the fight to the people who have been infiltrating, killing and murdering and poisoning American people. Of course, I’m talking about the, the attack or the interdiction or the missile strike or whatever you want to call it, of the boat in the middle of the ocean that they say was full of a whole lot of drugs coming for America. It’s kind of refreshing to be honest. But apparently, seemingly, if you go out and you read and you listen and you watch a little bit, a lot of people in this country have a problem with what happened and how the president and his administration and his team took care of this one little particular threat.

Do it now. Well, not now. Do it after you watch the video. Okay, so now we got that out of the way. Earlier this week, we all woke up and saw if you try to consume the goings ons of the world in the morning, of course, that we had, we, as in the United States of America, took out a boat filled with drugs and as they say, TDA trend, however you say it, TDA people, and just erased them.

President Trump and his team just erased these people and their drugs from the face of the planet. And many have a problem with it. Many people have a problem with it. And so me, for one, I don’t quite understand what the big problem is. But let’s get through some of this information here. And then we, of course, as always, will input our input, our own input where we need to, where it needs to be input. So let’s go here. President Donald Trump on Wednesday justified the lethal military strike that his administration said was carried out a day earlier against a Venezuelan gang as a necessary effort by the United States to send an unmistakable message to Latin American cartels.

Asked why the military did not instead interdict the vessel and capture those on board, Trump said the operation would cause drug smugglers to think twice about trying to move drugs into the US Any longer. And so, like right there, right in the first few sentences, in the very beginning of this, we see that they’re already asking questions, already second guessing the president’s decision to just take these people out. I guess I don’t know how you see it, but I don’t see it as a problem. For one, these cartels and these people running drugs and pushing them into our streets, into our neighborhoods and our communities, they didn’t ask, they didn’t get clearance, they didn’t do any of that.

In the beginning. We’re told that all of these places had, maybe it was an unspoken agreement or an unspoken head nod or the go head by the American government or whoever in the past, but nobody asked. Nobody. There was no, there was no committee assembled to ask about all of these things. They just came and did it. They just came and did it and they pushed these drugs into our communities. The people from these gangs, these South American gangs, they come in and destroy things, hurt people, leave them for dead. I mean, how many stories did we hear in the last year, two, three, four or however long, about these folks from outside of the United States coming in and not only smuggling drugs, but women and children for the sex trade? All these things.

Nobody ever asked our government if it was okay. And so now when our President says, we’re done with this, if we catch them, we’re going to just erase them, that’s a problem, apparently. But for people like, like me, people who are in, in, in our, our camp, I don’t know that many people do see a problem with it. I can tell you one thing, I bet you if you asked a whole slew of veterans how they felt about it, you’d probably get a whole lot of fucking A, man. You know, you want to play the game, you want to f around, you’re going to find out.

And let’s also not be mistaken. I think it’s pretty clear, and I think everyone knows, because the one thing President Trump is pretty good at and does like to do, if nothing else, is get himself in front of a camera and have words ready to say, opinions ready to share. And he’s not shy about taking a jab at you if he thinks you’re number one. I think there are a lot of these people that are asking him questions. All these media folks that have shown up, I think a lot of them are just stupid, and he likes to call them out when he gets the opportunity, but does it with facts and does it with words and ideas that are a whole lot smarter than wherever the, the question or comment came from.

So, for example, the other day, when he was asked about one thing or the other, and this reporter who apparently was from some Polish media place, had said, well, you know, you said you were going to do this, this and this, and you’ve done nothing. Oh, it was about Russia. It was about Russia and stopping the war and this and that and the other thing. Well, you’ve done nothing since you’d taken office. Well, the President did not. He did not hesitate to stop that dude and everyone else in their tracks and set him straight. And I think that there’s a lot of folks that really just don’t like that aggressiveness.

They don’t like that assertiveness that the President does display. But I think it’s great. If you’re going to check me in front of the world, well, I’m going to check you right back if you’re wrong. Some say that it’s extremely narcissistic and this and that and the other thing. Why doesn’t he just answer the question? Well, because if the question is a bunch of bullshit and it’s not based in truth, then there is no answer. The answer is what you get. You ask stupid questions, you’re either going to get stupid answers or you’re going to get your ass set straight right away.

And so, again, why are people so surprised about this? I don’t know that. I don’t know that President Trump has. Has changed a whole lot about his Persona since his first administration or since before his first administration. So what is all the conversation really about? Let’s see here. Where did we leave off? Trump strike? Trump’s strike was an astonishing departure from typical US Drug interdiction efforts at a time when Trump has ordered a major navy buildup in the waters of Venezuela. There are a lot of boats, thousands of sailors, and probably marines, if I had to guess, down in that area of the world right now.

So, again, just from a strategic standpoint, I think it is a pretty damn good idea. Try to stop these things from reaching our borders and try it closer to their home than ours. Maybe they will get the message, go pedal your drugs somewhere else, because if we catch you bringing them in here, you are going to be erased. I will tell you, there is. There is one phrase that my father has used for a long time that sticks out to me in this instance. And he used to say things, things would happen. And whether you agree or not with it is one thing or the other.

But he would always say things like, you know, every now and then, sacrificial lambs have to be taken in order for all the other shitheads to understand what the consequences of your actions are. And so maybe this is a really good fit for those words. Was it a small boat? Yeah. Did it have a bunch of drugs on it? Yeah, that’s what we are told. Is it possible that we are being lied to about this little dinghy that was putting through open water and then got erased by a missile? Is it possible that we’re not being told the whole truth? Sure, that’s possible.

But why question it so heavy? Heavily. It’s not a secret. It’s not a secret what’s been going on at our southern border and everywhere else around this country for many years now. Why would we have such a huge problem with our commander in chief saying, finally, finally we have somebody who’s saying, we’re not doing that here anymore. Why is that a problem? That’s a legitimate question that I would ask these people had I had the opportunity to be in front of them while they’re slack jawing the President for his decision. What is the value, what is the value of one American life? Better yet, what is the value of 150,000American lives a year? What’s the value of a million American lives? If we know that a little tiny thimbleful of fentanyl can kill multiple people just by touching it? Or if it gets in the air and you breathe just a couple specks of it in, if we know that that little tiny bit can kill multiple people in one instance, why would anybody have a problem with deleting pounds of it? Who knows how much was on that boat? I guess I didn’t pay attention if they said, I don’t know if they really know because it’s all been vaporized now.

But a boat full of crystal meth or fentanyl or heroin or cocaine or whatever it is, what kind of damage does a load that big do to Americans? And if the answer is that, well, a whole boatload could only kill maybe just one. Okay, well, don’t we think, do you think that it’s worth it? Do you think it’s worth deleting them off this planet? And let’s be honest, right? I mean, it doesn’t make sense to, to, to put drugs that, that aren’t very potent, that aren’t, that aren’t strong on a boat that size and send it.

There’s got to be other ways that are more cost effective, that are more efficient and all these other things. If you ask me, that boat was loaded with probably crystal meth and, or fentanyl. And if it was fentanyl, that boat could kill hundreds, maybe thousands of people. So why would we second guess it when we already know there’s proof out there, everywhere where this stuff is coming from, how it’s getting in, it’s all out there. Just think about, think about the amount of information that the general public in the United States knows about this issue in particular.

And let’s just say for conversation sake, that everything we know as the general public, so people who don’t have security clearances, who don’t work for the government, who aren’t in the military, this, that and the other thing, just the common everyday American citizen, what we are able to know, to find, doing research, to watch on things like this, Twitter, Facebook, wherever, Instagram, all that stuff, wherever it is that you consume Your media think about the amount of information that we know and then let’s just say for conversation sake that 20 or 30% of it, maybe even 40 or 50% of it, let’s just say that half of it is, is wrong or conspiracy theory or something like that.

Isn’t that still enough information to say, we’re done with this, we’re done allowing this stuff into our country. We’re done allowing watching our children, our adults, everybody, American lives be lost to this type of thing. So, yeah, let’s blow it up. And the people who insist on pushing it to the borders and bringing it into this country and into our communities, and also the people that are okay with letting it happen, let’s hold them accountable. The 10 or 11 dudes that were on this boat, they all met with, they were all met with extreme accountability. They, they F’d around and boy, did they find out.

But they only knew it for probably a split second, if that long. And I believe President Trump is right doing this, putting out the video, the footage is not just, you know, some people will say that it was a, it’s a flex, right? Like he’s just flexing his might and his power and what he can do. Well, maybe. And if that’s the case, good, keep doing it. If people are scared of him, they’re not going to come here and mess around. What else could be a reason to not stop this stuff? I mean, okay, what about the war on drugs, right? Wasn’t that Ronald Reagan’s thing? The war on drugs? How long has the war on drugs been going on? Some would say it’s been over for years.

Some others will say, well, it’s been. The war on drugs has been hot and heavy for a long time. Well, we’re losing. If that’s the truth, we’re losing that war. Drugs have become a major problem in this country. Way more maybe than it was in the past, I guess. I don’t really know. I wasn’t around when, like in the 80s, when crack cocaine was a huge thing and people were getting smoked all over the place for this little white rock. But now with things like social media and YouTube and TikTok, well, we see, we can see what’s happening in these neighborhoods.

There are people that grab their cellular telephonic device and hit record on their camera and just walk around and film it, film the zombie. Like people who are, who are so dependent on these drugs, they can’t even, most of them can’t even stay breathing. So again I ask, why is it A problem? Why is it an issue? According to President Trump, he says, there was massive amounts of drugs coming into our country to kill a lot of people, and everybody fully understands that. And mind you, he was saying all this while he was in Oval Office with the President of Poland.

He added, obviously, they won’t be doing it again, which I agree with 1000%, and I think that a lot of other people won’t be doing it again. When they watch this tape, they’re going to say, let’s not do this. Well, okay, that’s exactly right. So if you’re a person who will say, well, Trump’s just an egotistical maniac and blah, blah, blah, and he broke international law and the Geneva Convention or whatever type of crap they’re going to put out, my response to that would be, number one, I don’t think that he broke any laws. Maybe he did.

Maybe I don’t understand the law enough to be able to speak intelligently about whether or not he broke it. But I think that an overwhelming amount of American people in this country see things like that and say to themselves, man, finally, finally, there’s somebody who has the balls to stand up for American families. If you are a person or a bureaucrat or a lawmaker that thinks that this guy, that President Trump broke the law and he should be also met with some kind of accountability, why not you go pose that argument to the mothers and fathers and kids and brothers and sisters and friends and neighbors and blah, blah, blah, blah, of all the people who have died to these drugs.

And then you tell them, you tell them, well, you know, I am really sorry that your son or daughter overdosed, either on purpose or by mistake, but this was against the law. These people might have been innocent. And why would we have. Why would we have any reason to think that they’re lying about blowing up a boat? Like, there’s a whole lot of other things happening in the world and in our country today that they. They could be or probably are lying to us about. But when they say, we knew what was on that boat, we knew the people and how they were affiliated and how they all were related to one thing or the other, and they were drug runners with a boat full of fentanyl and meth, why lie about that? Do people really have the idea that President Trump and Pete Hegseth and anybody else, Marco Rubio, anybody else they want to name? Do people really think that they’re that power hungry they’re going to throw up military drones armed with missiles into the air and Just sit back in some bunker somewhere drinking Dr.

Pepper and eating Cheetos with a little remote control, taking turns about who’s going to blow up a boat in the middle of the ocean just for fun. Like if we’re going to say that they’re lying to us about this, that or the other thing, okay, maybe that’s a conversation to have, but it has to be based in something that makes sense. It does not make sense that anybody, anybody in the position of Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth or any of these people in the Cabinet, it doesn’t make any sense that they want to, just for fun, blow up random innocent boats in the middle of the ocean.

There’s a whole lot other things happening that are demanding their attention. So the idea that it’s all a big lie and that they’re just trying to flex their muscles for vanity sake or for their hunger for power, there’s a whole lot, a whole lot probably more effective ways to do that than to blow up a little fishing boat or a little speedboat or whatever they call it in the middle of the ocean off the coast of Venezuela. There’s a reason why our navy is there. There’s a reason why I’m sure that there’s government operatives in and about Venezuela that are gathering intelligence and all of that shit.

So I don’t buy that for a second that it’s all a lie and they’re just flexing their muscles because they can. That just doesn’t make any sense at all to anybody, in my opinion, who’s thinking clearly. Let’s see later. On Wednesday. This last Wednesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that such operations, they will happen again. Rubio said previous US Interdiction efforts in Latin America have not worked in stemming the flow of illicit drugs into the United States of America and beyond. It’s not just about the drugs and the violence and all that stuff that they bring to America, but it’s everywhere else.

And so maybe even, maybe even this action, this decision made by President Trump was something to show other leaders in smaller countries who may think that they don’t have the ability or they don’t have the resources or whatever to fight off these cartels. Maybe this was a message of strength to them. Because to be quite honest, these drugs and this violence and this just obscure way of life that these cartel members lead is not attractive to a lot of people around the world. It isn’t just America that doesn’t like, isn’t just America that’s dealing with these people.

Maybe not this particular gang in other places in the world, but I’m sure there’s many like them. I’m sure there’s a lot of copycats. You see one thing successful and you have the desire to copy it or mimic it. People do that. And I think that it’s pretty clear that folks have also found success doing things like that. So maybe this is just a good display of power and strength for the world, for other leaders, for other communities, other nations that feel stuck. Maybe not. Rubio said the previous U.S. interdiction efforts, we already said that what will stop them is when you blow them up.

He says when you get rid of them. How do we know with a thousand percent certainty that the drugs that were on that boat were not going to come into America? I think we’re all certain of it now. We watched it. If you vaporize the shit before it gets here in the middle of the ocean, that boat, that load of fentanyl, that load of meth, will not kill any Americans today, tomorrow, ever. And also maybe a point of note, if you didn’t know and haven’t seen, I believe it was the Coast Guard that nabbed like, £74,000 of meth coming into.

I think it was on its way to Mexico, they said, and they intercepted it. And it was going to Mexico, to the cartels to be turned into meth or turned into fentanyl or whatever, but it was going there to be distributed. And the millions of dollars worth of drugs that was seized, they say is going to really put a damper on the cartel’s ability to operate. And so maybe it’s not a fight about just blowing everything up. Maybe it’s not a fight to just flex our muscles and show the world that we have the biggest rod on the block.

Maybe this is part of the plan not to blow them up, not to fight with grenades, guns and tanks and vehicles and this and that and the other thing, and soldiers and people dying and losing their lives in that way. Maybe the plan, maybe the battle plan that the president has is to starve them. Let’s turn up the heat on all of these places and let’s just start. Let’s just start taking this stuff and either blowing it up in the middle of the ocean or incinerating it. When we get it to wherever we need to bring it to, if they don’t have the product to push into our country, they’re not going to make the money.

Maybe that’s a good strategy. Maybe that’s a good battle plan. And maybe, just maybe, That’s President Trump’s little chess move on his chessboard. Maybe everyone expects him to flex his military muscles and flex the muscles of other government agencies that can go in and just destroy your world with bombs and guns and equipment and tanks and missiles and all that shit. That’s what everyone is probably expecting of him. Maybe his plan is a whole different asymmetrical approach. Maybe his plan is to take out their finances. We’ll just take your supplies before you get them. Now, hopefully there’s a further plan because as that evolves, just the bad guys just get better or find a different way.

It’s a constant. It’s a constant shuffling act. How are we going to get our drugs from A to B now without them getting blown up? And so maybe, maybe that’s the short term plan. As he said in the press conference or on the video clip I saw, there’s phase two and three. That hasn’t been announced and hasn’t been initiated yet. So maybe that’s part of it. Anyway, folks, we got to take a break. We’ll be back in just a second. Stick with us. Don’t go away. This Memorial Day, we honor the brave and fight for the truth.

Like, what was the intelligence report? Do you think that that started this idea to, well, hey, let’s put up a drone.

When we catch these, these guys running drugs on the water, we’re going to just shoot them out of that. We’re going to shoot them. We’re going to shoot them with missiles and this and that. And the other thing, what did it look like? Well, it says here Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, he had said on Fox and Friends that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was running his country as a kingpin of a drug narco state. So our secretary of defense has came out and said that he believes, and I believe Donald Trump said also that President Maduro, who is the president of Venezuela, is the leader of Trend Trende Aragua.

There we go. I got it right. Is that a bold accusation? Maybe. But again, do we think that it’s made up? Do we think that the president and Pete Hegseth are misinformed? Do we think that our intelligence community is 100% full of crap? I’m sure that if we really stopped to look and we started to dissect different things, the intelligence community probably is the biggest liar of all agencies. Maybe. I don’t know. There’s some claims out there of different agencies and what they’re up to, and they seem to be pretty egregious. So I guess it remains yet to be seen.

But in my opinion, there’s just some things that don’t make sense for them to be a lie. It wouldn’t make sense that they’re lying about it. He did say Hegseth said officials knew exactly who was on that boat and exactly what they were doing. But the Republican administration has not presented any evidence supporting Trump’s claim that operators of the vessel were from the Venezuelan gang Trende Ragua Ha. And were trying. And that they were trying to smuggle in drugs. Well, so what? So what that they didn’t tell you who these people were? They didn’t. They didn’t put out publicly their names and their resume and all of this other shit.

So what that they haven’t presented any evidence to support that. The claim. To support the claim that they were operators and that they were smuggling drugs. Now, as we just talked about, we understand as Americans that we’re lied to by our government about many different things. We also understand that, that there are protocols, there are regulations, there are rules about how you put out intelligence and what actually is okay to share with the public and what is not. With all of that being said, I still come back to so what? So what again? Putting up drones and shooting boats out of the water just for fun, just to look powerful.

That’s not the play. I think that that’s the play for somebody who’s real green in this game of politics and this and that and the other thing, but for people who are actually in it, who are actually doing these things and making these decisions, lying to us or telling us the truth, and also will never probably really know what the truth is. But let’s go. Based on the information. Let’s approach this and react to it based on the information that we do know. The information that we do know is that drugs are running rampant in this country.

Information that we do know is that a lot of it comes from Venezuela and other places in south and Central America. What we also do know is that over the last however many years, there is evidence and there is data and there are pictures and there are testimonials and there is all this stuff to show that these, that the information. When he says, we knew exactly who was on that boat, we knew exactly what was on that boat, and we knew exactly what they were doing, is that so far out of the realm of possibility that we’re gonna, we’re gonna try to roast these guys publicly? And don’t be surprised if some slick nose son of a bitch in politics tries to, tries to start some impeachment hearings or something.

Because now Donald Trump is using military assets to kill civilians all over the world. Stupid. How about we look at this through a lens of. We’ve been attacked, we’ve been infiltrated, we’ve been deceived, our people are being murdered, our kids are being affected greatly. They’re becoming addicted to drugs, they’re being trafficked and hoard out to perverts all over the world. We know that these things are true and yet we still have people there saying, well, we didn’t know, we didn’t know the identities of the people in the boat. Who gives a shit? Who gives a shit who they are? If they’re running that amount of drugs to our country to destroy the fabric of this nation, who cares? They don’t care who you are.

The cartels don’t care about your name. They don’t care that your, that your family did this or that. They don’t care that you have. Well, I have a cousin who was. Blah, blah, blah. No, they don’t give a shit about any of that. What they care about is getting their drugs on the streets of America so that in a week or month or year’s time, however long, they can bring a boat back to Venezuela full of money and maybe even some of our women and children or, or maybe even some of our men to traffic them all over the world and let these perverts pay to take advantage of them and rape them.

So who cares what their names were? Who cares that they were blown out of the middle of the ocean by a missile they never even heard coming? Don’t we care more about our kids? Don’t we care more about our families and our communities and our neighborhoods? Do we care more about living in peace inside the borders of this country? So again, who cares who they were? I just, for whatever reason, I have a really hard time wrapping my head around why we get so wrapped around the axle about things in any situation or any story or any activity or anything that those little tiny details, it doesn’t change anything.

If we knew the names of all those people in there and we knew that, you know, they had, they had families at home and you know, this guy’s dad was a war, a Venezuelan war hero. War hero. And this guy’s mother was the Mother Teresa of South America. Okay, great. But this guy, these people are not doing those things. These people are poisoning this country. And in my opinion, the world was duly warned about this shit. They were warned about it during the election campaigns, they were warned about it during the debates, they were warned about, they were warned about this during the rally.

They were warned about this all over and publicly. Yet those boats are still running. So when we stop to think and question and try to paint the American leadership, the whole administration, as a bunch of murderous, hungry, power hungry son of a bitches, let’s also remember that even if that’s true, even if, let’s just say for conversation’s sake that Donald Trump is this power hungry maniac and his whole quest is for notoriety, to be idolized for the rest of American or human civilization and through the rest of time. His hope is to be remembered and idolized and statues built and this and that and the other thing.

Even if that’s true, I’m sure alright with him trying to achieve that by making us safer. If his idea of a mission accomplished is to have a Statue built that’s 1,000ft tall of him and he wants to try to achieve that by blowing up drugs and drug runners coming to America with a boatload of fentanyl. Okay, go ahead, sir, go ahead. Because as we talked about in the beginning of this show, none of those people, none of those low level drug runners that were in this boat all the way up to President Maduro, if he’s the man in charge, if that’s true, then all the way up to him, take them out and who gives a shit about who they are and what they’re doing? Is it unfortunate? Yeah, it’s unfortunate that these men in this boat that their, their, their parents or their kids or whoever that, that loved and cared about them.

If anybody is going to be sad and miss them and it’s going to haunt them the rest of their lives. Well, that’s unfortunate, but they made the decision and they were all warned. So if it’s your kid that’s going to be running drugs, you better start thinking about how you’re raising them and how you’re supporting them through their growth or whatever that means. For anybody individually, I just find it really hard to place all the blame on the one person that said yes. And maybe it’s not hard, right, because he’s the one that has to say yes.

But it’s hard to believe that anybody would think that this is such a horrible thing when we know what we know. And maybe that’s one of the great things about social media and the Internet and all this other stuff, is that a lot of this information and a lot of the proof that we need to know that some of this information is true is all out there. It’s all out there on this beautiful thing called the Internet. So it’s a lot different than it was in the 80s, in the 60s and the 50s and even the 90s, because now we can instantly, especially with AI, we can instantly go back to and scrub historical data to find numbers and statistics and information and pictures and testimonies and all that shit.

We can get it almost instantly. But yet I don’t know that a lot of these armchair quarterbacks of President Trump and the administration, I don’t know that they go in deep enough to actually find the information, maybe have a conversation about it, and make a smart assertion of what’s really happening. And so part of all of this also is that through the lens of a person that served this country and went to a forward area to defend this country, fight for the flag that was on my shoulder, whether it was for the right reasons or the wrong reasons, we did it.

For whatever reason we were told. I, for one, am grateful. I, for one, am grateful that President Trump decided to do this and anybody who advised him that it was a good idea. Thank you. Because unless you have been in some of the darkest places in this world, unless you have been through experiences that shows you what humanity is really like outside of Instagram and Facebook, and for all of you onlyfans, warriors and all of that bullshit, for anybody who’s been in a place in this world and in their lives that has seen the darkest side of humanity, these types of things you’re grateful for, because now that these dudes were incinerated and these drugs were destroyed and the boat was destroyed, there’s a whole lot of families that will be Able to rest a lot easier for a long time because their loved ones aren’t being poisoned and murdered by these drugs.

And to be honest, folks, it doesn’t take a whole lot of life experience to see dark sides of humanity. Not anymore. And if you’re. If you live close to or within any major city in this country, get in your vehicle, lock the doors, and take a drive. Take a drive through the neighborhoods and the places where people tell you, yeah, man, you probably don’t want to go over there. If you are going to go there, don’t leave anything in your car. Shouldn’t. In fact, I was. I heard a story not. Not long ago at work of a guy who lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

And if it’s nice out, he said, I don’t have a garage. I have a carport. He’s got a small house somewhere in Minneapolis. He said, I don’t even roll up my windows anymore. I don’t lock my car. I don’t roll up my windows because they’re going to just destroy it. So I leave my windows cracked or down, if I had them down, and I go in my house and I take everything valuable out of it, they’re going to destroy my car with nothing in it. Well, then I guess they’re going to destroy my car. But if I leave anything in there, or even if I take everything out and I lock it and roll the windows up, they’re going to break my windows to see what’s in my car.

And so here’s an example of a guy who’s had to buy two or three car windows through insurance or whatever, and he is sick of dealing with it. And not everybody can just uproot their lives and move to a safer community. And I can. For further context, I could tell you that for 15 years of my life, Stu Peters and I saw the darkest sides of humanity pretty often now, we weren’t police officers. We were bounty hunters. And I would argue that at times people who work in the fugitive recovery industry as civilians, bounty hunters, they see a lot worse of humanity because when you walk into places and people know that you’re not a cop, they don’t hide nothing.

They say the shit that they wouldn’t say to the police. Maybe it’s different nowadays because nobody respects the police now anyway. Well, I shouldn’t say that a ton of people will respect the police. I respect the police. But the people who are causing problems, they don’t respect the police. They don’t respect authority. They’re not going to comply and do what they’re told so they can get the hell out of there and get on with their day. They want to cause problems. And so when we were going in and out of these communities and these neighborhoods and these homes and these apartments and trailer parks and shit all over this country, mainly the Midwest, but we went all over this country, it gets pretty dark.

And when you see the evidence of the way that people treat each other, it gets pretty dark. And so you can say that we’re jaded and all this other stuff, and maybe that’s true, but it’s a result of real life experience. And so you try to take it all with a grain of salt, because for the most part, the people that we were coming into contact with are not at a good point in their lives. It’s a horrible day. It’s never a good time to go to jail. People seem to have a lot of remorse for the things that they did that they’re in trouble for.

But only when it comes to going to jail, only when you have to be accountable and answer for your actions do you really see people kind of break down and be apologetic. And then it’s hard to tell whether or not it’s genuine. And so, again, from a perspective of a person who, number one, served this country, was actively engaged in combat multiple times, that ran the streets of this country, many different neighborhoods in many different places in this country, country, you know, like out in the rural areas, urban areas, suburbia, everywhere, it gets dark, folks. And I, and I for one, am thankful.

I, for one, am thankful that we have some type of leadership, number one, that will make a decision, make a decision that usually for the most part, seems like it’s going to benefit the masses in this country in one way or another. Is everything good? No, not everything is good. Is everything that Donald Trump says good and powerful leadership? Nope. No, it’s not. Do I disagree with him on some things? Yes. Yes, I do. But you have to take each. In my opinion, you have to take each thing independently and think about how it affects. How does it affect me? Right? How does it affect you yourself? But how does it affect your family? How does it affect your community? How does it affect your job? How does it affect the places that you put your family in the car and go to dinner when you want to or can.

How does it affect. When you walk into a grocery store, into a market, or you’re pumping gas? How does it affect you in the community around you? Each thing individually, so you don’t have to agree with everything. You don’t have to like everything, but holy shit, Matt. When we see the solution to a problem, even if it seems extreme, it’s still a solution to the problem. And for people who have worked in law enforcement or who are members of law enforcement families and military people and military families, you understand that sometimes just speaking the words aren’t enough.

Sometimes being cordial and asking and being professional, sometimes that just isn’t enough. There’s a lot of these folks that are up to no good that mean to do us harm, that mean to do all types of things in our communities that aren’t helpful. In fact, they’re very hurtful to the success of the community. They don’t care and they don’t understand. Please and thank you. They don’t even understand. Stern direction. Put your hands on the hood of the car, come over here, please, and have a conversation with them. They don’t understand that if they did, they probably wouldn’t be doing some of the dumb shit that they’re doing.

So you got to meet them where they’re at. Just like a therapist will tell you, you know, it’s really good. Or social workers are probably infamous for this. Well, you know, when we’re talking to this community and blah, blah, blah, whoever it is, you got to meet the people where they’re at. You have to be able to communicate with them on their level or they’re not going to really understand. Well, that goes the same for shitheads. They don’t understand. Please and thank you. They don’t understand. Stern direction. They understand. Get your ass over here, shut your mouth, sit down and put your hands behind your back.

They don’t understand when President Trump says, hey, we’re done with this, there’s a new America coming. These things will not be tolerated. Did he have to when he was giving those speeches and talking about how he’s going to make America safe, did he have to go into detail about how he was going to blow boats out of the water, how he was going to do this and bring soldiers here and do this and that and the other thing and give all the details? I don’t believe so. You were warned. There is a new administration. These things are not going to be accepted.

It’s not acceptable anymore. And if you do them, you will pay the price. And so now that we see what he meant by pay the price, we see what the price is. Nobody, I shouldn’t say nobody, but many people don’t like it. And if you ask me, that’s just too bad. I’m grateful. I’M grateful that that boat was blown up. I’m grateful that those men were met with extreme accountability. Hopefully it will put an end to it. I do not know that it will put an end to it, but hopefully it is a good start. Because we as Americans deserve better than what we’ve had in the recent past.

Americans deserve to be able to move around their communities freely, deserve to feel like they can go to the grocery store or pump gas or their kid’s baseball game without having to be nervous about being accosted or violated or beat up or raped or carjacked or anything like that. And it doesn’t matter what community you live in, the American people do not deserve that. Even. Even the American people that hate Donald Trump so bad that even if he was walking on water and he went from orange to looking like Jesus and he was the second coming of the Messiah himself, even the people that would see him as a problem still, after all of that, deserve to feel safe.

That’s what he said he was going to do, and I believe that’s what he’s doing. Tom Holman, Same thing. He said it, too. This shit’s going to stop. And it. And they’re doing pretty dang good unless they’re lying to us about all that, too. So. I don’t know, folks. Of course this is all just my opinion and my thoughts, but I think that. I think that we’re lucky. I think that we’re lucky to have somebody in here that’s going to say, no more, this stops now. And then back it up. So, anyway, tell us what you think.

Tell us how you feel about it. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I’m a dumb piece of shit. Who knows what the. What the. What the. What the masses will think. But as always, I really thank you. I want to show my gratitude for you being here. We’ll be back next week. Take care of yourselves. Have a great rest of your weekend. Good night. As Christians in a Christian country, we have a right to be, at minimum, agnostic about the leadership being all Jewishly occupied. We literally should be at war with Israel a hundred times over, and instead we’re just sending them money and it’s fucking craziness.

Look at the state of Israel, look at the state of Tel Aviv and look at the state of Philadelphia. You tell me where this money’s going. You tell me who’s benefiting from this. I am prepared to die in the battle fighting this monstrosity that would wish to enslave me and my family and steal away any rights to my property and to take away my God, Go fuck yourself. Will I submit to that? And if you’ve got a foreign state, you’ve got dual citizens in your government, who do you think they’re supporting? God right now? Would you protect the nation of Israel and protect those of us, not just our church, but every church in the world and in this nation that’s willing to put their neck on the line and say, we stand with them, we stand with them.

You go to Trump’s cabinet, you got Biden’s cabinet. It’s full of Jews. I have a black friend in school. I have nothing against blacks. She has nothing against me. She understands where I’m coming from. Excuse me. I’m a Jew. And I just like to say that, you know, in our Bible it says that you’re. You’re like animals. The Jews crucified our God.
