Mookie, this is not nom, this is bowling, they're a rule. Today, Junior, America! It's like, for the best, so stand by. Yeah, all right, everybody, welcome back to the Steak for Breakfast podcast. If you're a first time listener, welcome to the show. If you're a longtime listener, welcome back to America's fastest growing, and quickly becoming favorite political podcast. I'm Roan, I've got Noah here with me. Yo. Welcoming him back after a short stint away, taking care of all your things. Worklift related, but here we are today, and we're doing the heavy lifting in regards to the news cycle, I guess. There you go. If you're hearing the show for the first time, don't worry, we'll see you in a bit. Press pause, jump over to our last edition, that's going to be episode 436, where we talked about Donald Trump and Elon Musk breaking the internet. And then a comparison of Kamala Harris and Tim Walts out on the campaign trial, while JD Vance sat down for the Sunday morning news circuit. In addition, we caught up with Oklahoma Congressman Josh Burkine, and the CounterPoint Institute in Washington, D.C.'s Dr. Shea Bradley for all two great conversations there. I still can't believe that Congressman Burkine was one of the not a million people who had heard the Elon interview yet, but no, I guess you are too, so. Yeah, I was looking for it when I was on a long drive recently, and I mean it was like this morning, but you know, whatever. You want to know how you solve that problem? Re-download the Twitter app. I don't know why my fucking ex app doesn't work. And it depends where I'm at. Like if I'm down by the forklift base, it doesn't work at all. Like no matter what, I fired up, it says post or tweets or whatever the fuck they call them. Sure. Zizzer's not available right now. I'll allow it. And talking about this episode, no, we got two bangers. You ready for this one? Yeah. Better ingredients. Better pizza. This interview, John Schnattro will be here. Mr. Papa John's himself. Yes. I hope he brings breadsticks. Mm. That garlic sauce. Oh, that garlic sauce is my favorite. Who needs stuffed crust when you got that? Uh, yeah. So we'll be sitting down with him. He just wrote an awesome op-ed in Breitbart. He's been very vocal about the economy, the ebb and flows of binomics or lack thereof, productively for Americans, how this has affected the fast food and the service industry, and where it possibly goes from here. He's also got a lot of hot takes on all things political. You know, he's a big supporter of President Trump. And I think it'll be the first of hopefully a recurring segment that we do here on the show with him. In addition, listen, the world's about to pop off every single time we jump on the air. No alerts are more heightened right now than that between Israel and Iran. Colonel Douglas McGregor will be here to wrap things up today and probably bring us all down a little bit because I've never met a more realist in my life when it comes to the colonel and he knows exactly what's going on. We're going to jump into Trump probably now. He was up in Bozeman, Montana this weekend. A lot of people criticized him in the news for going up there is it is not a state that electorally he needs to win it securely in Republican hands, but here's the deal. There's a big three. It starts and ends with the president, but a lot of that foundation is built on retaining and extending the House majority. Right now, remember, the balance of power 213 for the Democrats, 220 for Republicans. It's a seven seat majority. I was watching a couple news programs, listening to a couple of people who are really dialed in on the congressional numbers. We can get that number up to 230. There are 19 seats that are being considered battleground bellwethers or up for grabs right now. And that's why you have people like Eli Crane, like Corey Mills, like Mike Collins, Anna Pauline Aluna, Jim Banks as he's ready to make the ascension from the House of Representatives in Indiana to be the senator that represents that state as well, all out on the campaign trail. They are safe and secure in their races, so they're out trying to keep retain and extend that majority in the house. But we got to flip the Senate and, you know, we have she, he running up there, not the favorite of America first, but the man who won the primary got the endorsement from President Trump and is now doing the best job he can to take it away from, oh, when you hear the heater I've got later of what Donald Trump said about Democrat Senator John Tester. Did you hear yet? No, I don't think so. Only someone like Donald Trump, I'll put it to you this way. One of his top story gets a Stephen Chung, the man blocks out the sun, but Donald Trump said he never saw something that looked like this before in his entire life when describing Senator John Tester from Montana. So we'll get into that in a little bit, but we're going to get things started right now. I thought you were going to say we'll have to post in the shade. Oh, well, I'll tell you what, if you're if you're talking about something that's going to eclipse the overall narrative of the rally, it might be that clip by play later, um, Donald Trump's been starting off a lot of his speaking events, not really reliving the instance that happened in the assassination attempt on his life up in Butler, Pennsylvania, a couple weeks ago. But how it's kind of changed him, I don't think it's made him any more of a moderator brought him down ideologically when it comes to policies and stuff like that. But when he looks at the world right now, he looks at his family and the time and how it's spent with his loved ones, I think a lot of that has changed. And he was talking about, you know, for someone who believed in God, but didn't know how he could individually interact in everyone's life and the way that he did that day up in Butler, Pennsylvania. Thank God for Ron Johnson immigration charts. Uh, you know, he said that it definitely helped him with a little bit of the belief factor. Let's hear it. Being president is a dangerous profession, you know, this is a very dangerous. This is not, this is not the safest profession out there, but, uh, there was an amazing event. And for those of you that don't believe in God, I believe that there's only one reason that could have happened because the chances were so, so small, right? Yeah, thank you. Thank you very much. And that's another thing. No, you hear the energy level of the crowd there. That's another reason why I think in this kind of like, we're in the dog days of summer when it comes to the general election cycle, you know, it's post RNC, free DNC for the first time. And I don't know what 60, 80, 100 years we had a bait and switch at the top of the ticket for the other party. It's the party of the sitting president of the United States. There's like a lull there just is, uh, you know, the Democrats are going to get whatever they get out of their national convention at the end of next week. And they're going to come out and hit the ground running. And then it's them and Donald Trump to the ballot box in November. That's pretty much all. There's no other major events outside of the debates. And if you want to look at Donald Trump's track record when it comes to debates, I mean, they could kind of continue to spin this narrative however they want for Kamala Harris. He's going to absolutely like this dismembered. Just think of every great like wrestling move like hell in a cell jumping through like 10 tables, Nick Foley on fire and then like not only landing through the tables, but then rolling over onto the barbed wire bat and it's just like, I can't see it going any other way. You know, there's no teleprompter and for as much as the moderators can try to save Kamala Harris, if you just go off of policy, it's a win win. So you know, it's one of those things. I mean, what is she going to do? She's going to call Donald Trump racist or bigot or massage. She did the same thing to Joe Biden and then he picked her to be vice president. So yeah, that's the amazing thing. So I actually hope she says some stuff like that and literally people can just put side by side. It's like video for video, it'll be amazing. And that's the thing he can body her. You know, you use language like that that's supposed to hold so much weight, but it didn't really carry anything when Joe Biden tapped you to be his vice president. It didn't now Kamala. Well they've burned out any of that rhetoric because you can't call everybody an asshole and then think that assholes going to hold the same weight anymore. Like they literally called everybody racist or whatever you want to call it. It's a great point and you want to know what? You heard the energy level of the crowd there. This is for people that don't get a taste. In Ruby Red States, you don't get a lot of Trump rallies. You get them in the battlegrounds and that's just the nature of the business. Once you hit the general election year, the scope of where the rallies are changed. You know, it's not like Donald Trump's going to be campaigning and like some of the bluest states like even though he still says he's going to New York and he still says he's going to come out to California. You know, you just don't see normally the people who are the biggest supporters of the person that's going to secure your state getting as big of a taste as a Trump rally as they did up in Bozeman, Montana last week and Donald Trump wants to reiterate the fact he's not running to be the president of the Republican Party. He wants this movement to be for all Americans and everyone's welcome. Let's take it out. If comrade Waltz and comrade Harris win this November, the people cheering will be the pink haired Marxists, the looters, the perverts, the flag burners, Hamas supporters, drug dealers, gun grabbers, and human traffickers, but with a Trump fans victory, the cheers will come from the police officers, the firefighters, the Border Patrol agents, the steel workers, all business owners, parents, and hardworking citizens of every race, religion, color. Okay, so maybe he didn't mean all Americans because what did he say? The pink haired congrapers, looters, the rioters, not you, not you, don't forget the human traffickers. No, it's it's true though, you know, there's very few people who are going to get empowered. Kamala Harris, this whole campaign does one thing and one thing only. It benefits the one percent, the upperest of the upper classes and then all of the people they pander to, whether it's minorities, whether it's the trans community, you name it, whether it's the lobby groups, the special interests, I mean, you just can't know in your hearts that what the Democrats are selling right now is going to benefit you as a normal person listening to the show in any way, shape, or form. I mean, if Iran goes through with what they're going to do and retaliates against Israel, that just shows you what the world thinks of the Biden Harris presidency because Donald Trump would call up the moles and he would essentially tell them like, okay, you shot rockets, they assassinated a mosque leader in your country, it's time to call it quits. You know, put out all the propaganda videos you want, move, you know, your little speed boats around the Persian Gulf, do all that stuff, show everybody how awesome your missile launchers and long range ballistics looks in the parades, but as far as pressing the button, don't do it. Don't do it. And the Biden, the Biden administration with Kamala Harris, they have no political capital when it comes to every single red line that Joe Biden drew and Kamala Harris supported. Remember, she was another big proprietor of don't, don't come. Every single one has been trampled over whether it's the illegals crossing the now erased U.S. southern border or how Russia fix that on day one though. She is. She knows the immigration system is broken. Fine. It's fine. Everything's fine. Speaking of which, Donald Trump knew exactly what happened with Joe Biden. He's put out a lot of trolling posts over the course of the last several weeks saying that Joe Biden wants his nomination back. And if he had any heart, he would step up at the DNC and tell everybody that they ran a coup against them. I mean, essentially I've got clips in our last new segment where Nancy Pelosi talks about it. And then Joe Biden confirms it that after the debates, the polls went south and everybody told me I couldn't run. I told him I wanted to run. They said no. So I had to leave. I mean, it's like. That's not a coup. That's not a coup. Where does that happen in third world countries? Yeah. Yeah. Definitely not in the United States of America, or maybe it has. Who knows over the course of, I mean, they did essentially the same thing without him being in office to Senator Bernie Sanders and for two, two cycles in a row and you just have to, you know, be able to understand what they're doing here. So many people, 15 million disenfranchised primary voters on the Democrat side. I mean, look at those votes that stood in solidarity with no candidate now hold more weight than a vote did for Joe Biden in primaries in your states. And how does that make people feel? You know, it's just embarrassing what they've been able to kind of pull off and, you know, we've asked. Army Dylan about it. She says, legally, this is the Democrats have rigged the system that is their primary process so bad that legally there's nothing we can do. But at the same time, it's like, this is how things are going to go in America from here on out of the incumbent is doing bad in the polls. We just tell them, like, get out or we're going to 25th amendment you and ruin your entire legacy, like bowing out of the presidential race after a bad debate isn't ruining your legacy enough. Donald Trump is touching on it. Let's hear it. And she was part of the cabal that got them out. You know, they got them out. They said, we'll do it the nice way. We'll do it the hard way, Joe. We'll use the 25th amendment and we'll call you mentally incompetent and everybody will believe us and, you know, what they did is a terrible thing, actually. They forced them out. It was a coup. We had a coup. That was the first coup in the history of our country. And it was very successful. He said, OK, I'll leave. You mean modern day. That's what you want. I'll leave. And now he's seeing what the competition is. I hear he's going to make a comeback at the Democrat Convention. This is a troll. He's going to walk into the room and he's going to say, I want my presidency back. I want another chance to debate Trump. I want another chance. But I handed Kamala and crooked Joe is surging economy with no inflation. We had no inflation. We had nothing. You know, and it's funny, the people don't even know how to react when he says that because he's trolling. Yeah. I mean, Joe Biden's not getting his candidacy back. But the people are all just sitting there and you see some people laugh, some people look confused, some people shaking their head, no, and it's just like, yeah, it's that bad. It's that bad. That's kind of where we're at. I do have the lineup for the DNC. No, do you want to hear it? Yeah, let's hear this shit show of gems. I mean, we don't have all of the, I guess, warm up backs, but I do have the keynote speaker for each night. And Joe Biden is going to have the opportunity to go off teleprompter and either shit his pants or shit on the cou that happened against him behind closed doors. He'll be the first keynote speaker on Monday night of next week. That'll be followed, well, co keynote speakers, him and Hillary Clinton, someone who probably helped facilitate the coup against them will both be the keynote speakers on Monday. On Tuesday night, we'll have former president Barry Hussein Obama, former president Bill Clinton will be the keynote speaker on Wednesday. Obviously, Kamala Harris and Tim Walts will be Thursday, the final night of the convention and that will all be in prime time and unlike most people who are not going to be paying attention to it, we'll be watching and having all the highlights for you here on stake for breakfast and low lights, probably, exactly. Yeah, so they got a pretty power pack lineup of people that you usually see, all the retreads who are going to go out and say the same thing. You know, it's weird. I'm almost at a loss for words of what's going on still. You know, I mean, I understand what needs to be done. People need to be motivated. They need to be invigorated. They need to, you know, be working like we're 10 points behind getting involved, getting people involved. But I just can't believe that in this day and age after so many people got the wool pulled over their eyes and led around this country for two and a half years, like sheep, especially in the blue states. They're just going to accept this. You know, it's not even like a black pew or anything. It's a reality of like the goldfish mentality of the American electorate, like I don't know why there wasn't more protests for Joe Biden being removed from the ticket. It's okay if you don't like him, but stand up for principal. People voted for him. And if you're going to be fricking all in riding for Biden, you should be a little upset right now. You shouldn't just take it on your heels and just be like, well, you know, this is fine. Yeah, it's the truth. And listen, when you talk about what's on the other side of this election, Donald Trump always is keen to outline all the bad things that are on deck for this country. If we don't get him back into the White House, let's hear it. This election is about saving our economy, ending inflation, securing our borders, restoring respect for our nation. We're no longer respected preventing World War three, especially for all these young people, these young, beautiful people. We don't want to get them into World War three and stopping a 1929 style depression, because that's what's going to happen. You saw what happened last week with your vote. We will reverse the Kamala crash and we will end the Kamala chaos and we will stop the Biden-Harris invasion of people that don't belong in our country. They're invading our country. And you know where he would be going with that. He talks about the invasion. One of the biggest policy points for Donald Trump and his second term in office would be the largest deportation operation in the history of the country. Let's hear it. Never seen before. We have a new form of crime. It's called migrant crime, and it's going to be as vicious as any crime ever seen in this country before, and it's a guarantee. In addition, we have hundreds and hundreds of terrorists in our country that have been allowed in. We didn't allow them in. We had a strong border. We had one year. We're border patrol actually said under Trump in 2019, one year, one of our four years, zero terrorists. I don't really believe that because I don't believe that's possible, but they have it down as a zero. Zero terrorists were able to get into our country. Now we have hundreds and hundreds of people coming in, thousands of people coming in, and these are the world's worst terrorists, and it's 100% certain that really bad things are going to happen. So we don't have a choice. Vote Republican, and we will begin the largest deportation operation in American history. Who doesn't like that? You know, I don't know if you've heard or been able to spend so busy now with work seeing the news cycle. There's actually been reports that a lot of the migrant gangs, and cartel members, and baddies who have been led into this country under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are now actually collaborating together to eliminate the previous longstanding games, and other criminal enterprises within major cities. Oh, yeah. You have to think like the bigger Fisher in the pond now. Sure, of course. More of them because they have nothing to lose because apparently they can't get arrested for anything. Where are they going to get deported to? And what benefit does being a law-abiding citizen have for them? Yeah. It's the truth. And when you look at the stat that came out this week, one in five hotels in New York is a migrant center. One in five. Think about that. No, you've been. There's a lot of hotels in New York. They identify as a migrant center. And can you imagine just the damage that's being done to these places? Oh, and the money that is being poured, the hundreds of millions of dollars that are being thrown at these people? Yeah, I saw some receipt from somebody that had like their, I don't know, welfare card or whatever kind of assistance card that they had. And they had more money on it than a lot of people will spend on groceries in a year, maybe. I know exactly which one you're talking about now in California, but yeah. The person had like a $7,500 balance on their, like essentially migrant EBT card. Yeah, it was something like that. I want to say I saw them that had like 12 grand on it, but I could be wrong. Well, no, they're all over the internet. People are, you know, because people just, you know, they get their thing and then they throw the receipt on the ground. People are picking them up and taking pictures of them. Yeah. And this is what's going on. You know, they're giving these people like so much money a month and the big push in some of these blue cities was that the migrants that are here living for free while Americans are struggling to keep the lights on in their house and food on their table. Getting taxed up the wazoo to pay for them. These migrants were given this extra money because all of these human rights groups went and sued our government. The government that let these people in and said they shouldn't be able to, they should have choices when it comes to what they eat, drink, bathe themselves in as far as diapers, what they put on their kids and stuff. This is literally the argument and they want it in court. Like they shouldn't get like the free issue like Walmart diapers from the government every month. They should be able to go out and buy like premium pampers. And I just think that's fucking Asinine. Like these people get money to go eat steak because the ground beef and the government cheese they were getting wasn't good enough for free in a country where they're living for free while Americans are just absolutely struggling. I mean, I say it all the time. I consider myself upper middle class-ish like right on the borderline. And sometimes like something comes up and it's tough every two weeks. Because if you have a family, you're obviously going to be spending well over $1,000 a month on groceries. But like for like a single person that doesn't really buy that much food and eats a minimal amount maybe, you're not going to be blown as much as these migrants are getting. No, you're not and you know, it's just wild. And listen, the perfect example is is the state of Minnesota, you had the governor of Montana who came out there in this rally who is a veteran and bashed him Waltz's stolen valor and then says for someone who has claimed to be a vet that's been in war zones, he's sure done a hell of a job of creating one in places like Minneapolis where it's essentially taken over by the hundreds of thousands of Somalis who have illegally immigrated here now and said that he's created like, and this is pretty funny, a Black Hawk down situation there. But it's the truth. There's license for illegals tampons for high school boys, you know, transgender surgeries behind their parents back, defunding the police. You name it. Tim Maltz has like walked in perfect step with all these radical progressive and they're having him come off as like a moderate like backwoods country guy. You know, you saw the walls, Harris hats that's got like the hunting, camel on them and stuff. It's just, I can't believe that we're that stupid. I really hope we're not Donald Trump wanted to highlight or low light some of the policies that have affected, I guess, Minnesotians over the course of Tim Waltz's time as governor it's here. As Minnesota's governor, Tim Waltz led rioters and looters burned down Minneapolis. Remember CNN? They're right back there. Watch. Oh, there goes their light. Their light just went off. While the governor's wife opened the windows to the mansion to enjoy the smell of the fire. She said the smell is so beautiful. That was wild. She really posted that on Twitter. Wall said that socialism is just another word for neighborliness. She wants to be. He calls them neighbors, good neighbors. He signed a bill to give illegal aliens free health care. He abolished Columbus Day. He ordered tampons to be put into boy's bathrooms. Do we have any children here, please close yours. He ordered tampons in boy's bathrooms, okay? He signed a law letting the state kidnap children to change their gender so that they go home. But I'm not talking about him, I'm talking about her. This is her ideology. That's why she picked him. He signed a bill allowing pedophiles to claim human rights protections under the state law. And then he said, by the way, JD Vance is doing a phenomenal job. But then he said, well, think of that. Think of the things I just said that he said, you know, I think JD Vance is weird. You know, it's a word that they use. I think he calls me that too. No, we're not, we're very solid people. We want to have strong borders, we want to have good elections, we want to have low interest rates, we want to be able to buy a house, we want great education, we want strong borders. I think we're very, actually, I think we're the opposite of we're, they're weird. You know what they do? They give, they work with the press on coming up with a sound bite, just a sound bite. And every station that night, all the networks, CBS and ABC, NBC, they all said, oh, what oh, they were called weird, weird. It's just, it's unbelievable. You know, it's not a word that's really used too much in politics. But it's a terrible thing that they can do this. It's just a sound bite. No, JD Vance is a great patriot and he's a United States Marine and he's a real Marine and he's a brilliant guy. And he went to Ohio State and graduated in two years at the top of his class, just about at the top of his class and he then got into Yale and he became a Marine, he got into Yale and he did great at Yale and he met his wife who was actually, I think the number one student did, yeah, they have a smart family. And we picked somebody that was very special and he's really, he's really stepped up. I said, you got your sea legs, you know, because the first day they were hitting him with a lot of nonsense and he's got his sea legs now, he's got to be great. I think we like, don't we like him and he's for the working. He's for the working man and woman. No, you added some commentary before it. You've been pretty impressed with the job that JD Vance has done since Donald Trump tapped him to be the vice presidential nominee. I think he's navigated himself pretty well, hasn't gotten flustered, hasn't really gotten caught in a gotcha moment, even when they're trying to talk about things that are stupid, like the blue hat care ladies that, you know, run the Democrat party. And it looks like for a lot of people that might have been concerned that he either wasn't experienced enough or won't be able to handle the rigors of the campaign trail, he's in a really good job. What do you think? I mean, I wasn't really super familiar with a whole lot of his choices or potential picks, but this one, I had, I knew nothing about that guy and so far so good. I mean, he's, he's shown whether he's very receptive to pre planning and prepping for interviews, with his talking points and all that kind of stuff, you can't, you can't fault him for being really good at just owning the interviewers, like easily, like he doesn't get flustered, he doesn't fuck up, like it's, it's pretty good. I'm impressed. Yeah. I'm impressed too. And, you know, we're going to continue to see him grow and hopefully flourish on the campaign trail.

I got a couple more on, well, you know, we've talked about policy, we've talked about Tim Walz, we've talked about deportations and crime and all the other bad. And you add up to this by saying we're talking about moron. Yeah. He would segue to Kamala Harris and he's going to hit her hard a couple of times. I got a couple clips lined up, let's hear them. Sometimes you refer to as Kamala, you know, she's got about nine different ways of pronouncing that in. And because the press is so dishonest, no matter how you say it, they'll say you were wrong. You were wrong. I don't care if I get it right, actually I couldn't care less. I actually haven't been accused that I know of calling it wrong. But if I did, they'd say that he did it on purpose. And you could do that. I've done a lot of bad name calling. Will you call somebody that you know how to say the name perfectly and you call it on purpose? They say, sir, you made a mistake. I said, no, I didn't. So, Noah, we all know here, maybe you've heard of it, we do a little trolling. We do a little trolling. One thing that nobody can argue is the amount of liberalist agenda that Kamala Harris promotes. And for the fact, I think she might be the lowest IQ candidate in the history of our republic when it comes to those for the presidency. I'm a Trump thing. So too, let's check it out system. I want to show you just one other thing, please. Do you mind putting it up? Please. Thank you. We've been to the border. You haven't been to the border. And I haven't been to Europe. Have you heard this yet, Noah? I haven't heard that one. This is the second rally that he's played to set. Check it out. Right. The significance of the passage of time. So, when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time. Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country, Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically that's wrong. So you're now no longer are you necessarily keeping those private files in some file cabinet that's locked in the basement of the house. It's on your laptop and it's then therefore up here in this cloud that exists above us. Right? The Caribbean nations. In the Western Hemisphere, that's just where the Caribbean is, we are also in the Western Hemisphere. They are our neighbors. I'm here standing here on the northern flank, on the eastern flank, talking about what we have in terms of the eastern flank. I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been, you know. Oh my God, we're going to leave it at that. Listen, it's a three minute montage. And it's all of her absolute years. I just wanted to get us through, at least through unburdened before I moved on. She would be talking about school buses and rocket ships and drafts and all this other bullshit that she's spouted out over the course of the last several years that she's been in. If Trump had said any of these things that were so vapid and idiotic, I mean, it would be wall to wall news, what are you talking about? What about the right flank? What does that even mean? Depends on where you're standing. True story. He also hit on Astro Turfing, and this is the last we're going to have of him body and Kamala Harris, let's check it out. And Kamala, Kamala gives the exact same speech over and over again. Over and over, the same exact words, one of the people put it up, like they put six of them up, and every single word is the same. I don't do that. I got to give you a little bit of variety, right? I change all these damn speeches. Where are my speech writers? I'm going to do that. Just have one speech and just for the next 90 days go out and just read that thing. We don't like to re-teleprompters, right? It's not as much fun. It's not as exciting. And somehow it's never as good, is it, huh? No, I think we're going to write up one standard speech. You read it from beginning to end. You know what would happen? You'd start walking out and say, "Oh, look, Trump's not holding--" How about you? That's a good point. Probably wouldn't have as much drawing power if he stuck to the teleprompter for 100% of his speech. And we mentioned it's those off-prompter, colorful, memorable moments that really make a Trump rally what it is. It's the meat and potatoes of it. And this rally was no different than any of the others, especially--well, I guess except when you're talking about the actual speech, because they're always different. But no, I know you probably didn't watch any of the Olympics, right? After the recreation of the transgender Last Supper? Yeah, no, I caught a couple clips on Instagram, but that's about it. Well, Donald Trump had some concerns, but also wanted to congratulate the two dudes who fought in the gold medal match in the women's boxing category. And where he's not going to be making the noises like he's lifting the bar over his head anymore, you know this is something that really at his core bothers him, thinks it should not be happening anywhere. And of course, he's going to bring it up on the campaign trail and check it out. And I'd like to congratulate the young woman who transitioned from a man into a boxer. You saw he won, she won the gold medal. How about the young Italian, beautiful Italian boxer? She got in there and she didn't know what was going on. And she was a very good boxer, you know, against other women. She didn't count on this and he's up here, bump, one little jab, whoa, she goes, nobody ever hit me that way. Then he goes, bump. And she said, okay, I had enough. It's crazy what they're doing. And this person won the gold medal, did they win the gold medal today? What do you think of that Tim? I don't think Tim, I don't think Tim likes it. Greg, no good. Now how crazy is it? How crazy is it for four more years, crazy, and she wants it. She wants men to play in women's sports. She certainly does. And you know, Tim Sheehee is the Republican candidate to hopefully dethrone John Tester out of the US Senate and flip it to Republican seat. Here's the deal. Donald Trump probably had some campaign points, some things that Tim Shee brings to the table that separates him from John Tester. He didn't want to talk about any of that. He didn't want to talk about absolutely botting him and making fun of his physical appearance, which quite frankly here on Stake for Breakfast, we much more appreciate than just the philosophical body slams. Let's check it out. Tim is John Tester and I don't speak badly about somebody's physical disability. But he's got the biggest stomach I have ever seen. That's the biggest stomach. I have never seen a stomach like that because he doesn't look that heavy. He's not allowed to use the word fat. So if you use the word fat, you can say obese, you can say anything, but you can say fat. That's the end of your political career. I said at the other night, somebody in the audience said, "Chris Christie is a fat pig." And I said, "Sir, Chris Christie is not a fat pig. You should not." And we argued about it for three or four minutes, so that was, no, he's not a fat pig. Chris Christie and Mike Pence is still the two people that are getting, oh, you want to know what the funniest part about Donald Trump returning to Twitter yesterday was Noah? The first post I saw was that Donald Trump officially unfollowed Mike Pence on Twitter as soon as he logged back in. But I mean, it's like, if you're, if you were, John Tester, how do you combat that? You can't. The Republican nominee for the presidency said I have the biggest and most disgusting stomach he's ever seen in his entire life. Like, you put that up on the whiteboard in the, in the war room at the Montana Democrat Strategy Office, Donald Trump just said you have the biggest. He called it a human deformity, biggest stomach he has ever seen in his entire life. And how do, how would you like to attack this? Strategists. No, I don't. Question mark. Stairmaster. Man. I love him. We're never going to have another one like him, which is, well, we're going to wrap right now before we jump in with the, I guess you call it the original Papa John. Here's Donald Trump wrapping up this huge rally in Montana. The way he only knows how closing it out and dancing right off the stage. We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. We will make America free again and we will make America great again. Thank you, Montana. Thank you. Vote for Tim. Thank you very much. Everybody. Thank you. God bless you all. Thank you. You brought that one from the belly. What do you think, Noah? Awesome. I like it. It was. I'm putting it in the nines. This is 9.4, 9.5, easy, energy, ecstatic, you know, the P off the charts loud. People interactive. He had a bunch of new material attacking Kamala Harris, Tim Waltz, John Tester, et cetera, talking about the Democrat policies and how they're tanking this country and how he's the plausible solution. What do you got for a score? No, you're not going below 9.5 still? Yeah, he's getting 9.5, for sure. I absolutely love it. We're getting ready to jump in right now with John Shatner, the original Papa John's, but before we do, let's hear again from one of our partners. It's an unpleasant truth that 42% of Americans are obese and 79% of Americans are overweight. That's practically one in every two Americans living day to day with every minute counting down to the end of an unhealthy existence. It's time to change that and make Americans healthy again.

Make America healthy again. All right, joining us next on the show today, this big Tuesday edition of the State of Records Podcast, he's the founder and former chairman and CEO of Papa John's International, welcoming to the show, John Shannon. Thanks for joining us. Thank you, Rob. Thanks for having me. Always a pleasure. You know, I got connected with you not too long ago. We checked out an article that you had written in op-ed, which ran in Breitbart, and it talked about the troubling future of fast food franchises, but then touched a little bit more on the overallness of the industry. I'm glad that we have someone who I would consider an expert on the subject joining us today. And maybe if you want to start off by telling our listenership a little bit about what went into the premise for getting this article out there. Well, when you start in a broom closet, you start broke, you start out as a small business owner, you have empathy and concern for your fellow entrepreneur and small business owner. You really can't have empathy for anybody unless you've walked a mile on their shoes. And Papa John's, yeah, we had 5,000 stores, but we were a family of small businesses. And if those one and two and three store operators did not make money, then the whole thing would fall apart. So your unit economics at your store level with your franchisees is paramount. You know, when you talk about the American dream, and when you go into, you know, kind of the purview of owning any kind of a business, a small business, a franchise, and you know, being a part of the community, becoming a staple there, and being able to survive and not just the political climate, but the economic one that our country has kind of faced over the course. I mean, you know, before we got into the political cycle that we're in now where it's extremely toxic, we had been in, you know, a wartime country for a very long period of times. It has a direct effect on the economy, drives wages up and down at a lot more volatile, you know, ticks and you would normally see during peacetime. And I just kind of want to get your gauge on, you know, how far are we or how close are we getting to maybe, you know, the American dream and having something like being in the restaurant industry, opening up a small business or even being a franchise owner, are we close to not having any more in America because it just seems like, you know, depending on the state, it seems like it's not really the most prudent thing to do because of the risks of the market, the influence that, you know, state and local legislative has over driving up the wages, you know, for workers and stuff in the restaurant industry, not like we don't want those people who are serving and working in the industry to survive, but sometimes it just doesn't seem like it's feasible for the business to be able to stay in the black when they're getting all these outside pressures in addition to what's going on in the economy. Yes, you know, I run my life on principles. We can talk more about that if you like. But two fundamental principles I have are boundaries. You have to have boundaries and you have, I believe in fair play. When I look at the gift I was given from God of starting Papa John's with Reaganomics, and of course we have the 2016 to 2020 Trump economics, but I had a chance, now out of 10 small businesses go under. And remember, small businesses, the backbone, 60% of the new job creation in this country. And I don't, it's just not fair to people that are trying to do what I did today, that I had the advantage of Reaganomics, and I find that very troublesome. But to your point, if you, it's, we're talking about abstract principles here, a mindset. And Trump is pro-business. He's a winner and he wants to see everybody else win. Reaganomics wanted the John Schnauters of the world to succeed, and a small business owner feels that from the commander in chief. And so if you've got a commander in chief that's pro-business, that wants you to do well, i.e. low taxes, low regulation, and really thrives on that entrepreneur spirit as a whole, which makes America great to begin with, it's a huge advantage when you have that leader for a small business, and it's a huge head winner, disadvantage when you have a leader that's never made payroll, this administration, the powers to be, have never made payroll, they've never run a business, they don't understand how hard it is to make ends meet in a small business, especially when you're just starting up. Yeah, that's a really good point you make. And then, you know, when you talked about, you know, the Trump economy and how that was kind of maybe an evolution of where Reaganomics was back in the 80s, it seems like we've gone on a direct, opposite path of that since Joe Biden took over and he and Kamala Harris have been opening up, you know, what they think would be saving the best economy in the history of economies. I mean, they say it all the time, they've cured the economy, they, you know, have done more for the working middle class than anybody, but when prices are through the roof outside of, let's just say, the restaurant industry, you know, so many Americans right now are using about 70% of their paychecks to keep a roof over their head, food on the table and fuel in their cars. You know, this has to have a direct and negative effect on all the industries out there. You're talking about merchandising in retail, you're talking about the restaurant industry. And then all the things that Americans would, you know, maybe people would consider them luxuries that we just can't afford anymore. And then when you talk about an administration who's telling you like the current one, that everything is fine, maybe Americans are just spending too much money or they're living outside of their budget. At the end of the day, there's all these businesses who, you know, thrived in other economies that are not doing good now. Now we're starting to see the erasures of some of the, you know, biggest businesses and probably more common names than we've ever seen on the planet, places like Long John Silver's, Godfather Pizza, even Red Lobster is minimizing and might not make it through, you know, this really volatile time in the economic climate. When you see the adjustments that are being made or ones that just can't be, that are negatively affecting this industry, what do you say to those people or to the Americans who just no longer can, you know, not only going outside of, let's just say, part of the American Dream, maybe owning a franchise, but even being able to enjoy it and getting some pizza where normally that would be part of like maybe a seven day a week dinner schedule, but now we see it to where people are just kind of skipping it and staying home because they can't make ends meet. Well, let's go at a macro level with Trump economics and Trump policies. Every single thing that Trump did was a success. Every single one of Trump's policies, this administration reversed them, the border reversed, Afghanistan, Ukraine, they would have never got away with what they got away with $80 billion worth of equipment. Ukraine, Trump would have stopped that evasion when they were marching over with the tanks 40 miles in a row, so they've been the antithesis of what a successful administration, the Trump administration did, and the proof didn't put it. Now, on a micro level, what you're referring to on the middle class, upper middle class, lower middle class, and the middle class in itself is getting squeezed. That is a printing of money. The exorbitant amount of money they're printing is a hidden, cruel, and evil tax on the future earnings of the middle class, and what makes America great is the middle class. And when you start squeezing the middle class and the middle class in this country no longer exist or is weaker, then you really lose not only the American dream, you lose what makes America different than the rest of the world. There's always going to be the 1% wealthy. In every country, there's a 1%. And there's always going to be the poor. What makes America great is the middle class. These policies from this administration are detrimental and cruel to the middle class, and that creates a two-tiered society. With the two-tiered society, sooner or later, you have a revolt. So we need to get Trump in office, get those policies back in place, and get the middle class back on its feet and get in healthy. And when you look at this election cycle, John, one of the things I just want to kind of get your opinion on, we don't want to get, you know, two into the nitty gritty of politics here, but because this race is just engulfing the news cycle 24/7, do you see a night and day change? Like, let's just say if Donald Trump's able to win back the White House in November, is he able to turn that light back on for the economy here in the United States? Because it starts with a lot of things that you already mentioned. Like Donald Trump can seal the border on day one. He can re-establish our footing globally with some of our geopolitical allies and foes. And then as far as, you know, the domestic economy, Donald Trump can get that re-invigoration of, you know, the motivation for people to not only go out and participate in the economy in a more healthy fashion, but help drive down the prices with, you know, like taxes and tariffs and sanctions on nations who have been taking advantage of us under the current administration. Absolutely. Donald Trump's a winner. We had 5,000 stores. If Donald Trump was a manager in one of our stores, within two months he'd be top 100. Within three months he'd be top 50. When four months he'd be top 10, five months he don't know, franchise. In a month six, he tried to buy me out. Is a winner. And he is perfectly wired, hardwired and softwired for this job. He, you know, Trump has to be Trump because he's dealing with the swamp. He's dealing with a machine. He's dealing with a cabal. He's dealing with people that have no regard for humanity. The greatest asset Trump has besides being Trump is he has institutional knowledge. He knows how DC and all these politicians behave. And he was nice, 2016, he was nice. He tried to be collaborative and make peace. And he did not at the time, and I haven't talked to him about this personally, but at the time he did not know how ruthless and evil these people are. And they are ruthless and evil. His institutional knowledge, he will move so fast and so powerful and so dead on so quickly that it'll be like a light switch hit. This guy, he's Donald Trump. He's a winner. He knows what he's doing and he has institutional knowledge that none of us have. That's why this is a one of a kind, one of a lifetime situation to have this guy running for office that can fix the problems we have that are so severe that we are at a crossroads in this country. That's all the other day, we're 53% of Americans questioned whether free speech is too free. I mean, yeah, you look at California, you look at New York, you look at immigration, you look at Ukraine, you look at the situation in Israel, you look anywhere, it's a mess. This administration has been a disaster. Donald Trump will fix that. He will fix it at an unbelievable pace because he knows what he's doing. He's a winner. He's not scared of these guys. And he has the institutional knowledge to get it done. That's a great point you make. And then as far as the industry goes, we've seen a lot of downsizing of some of the smaller or mid-market size restaurants over the course of the last couple of decades. It's really like always the big few that are going to survive is the cream of the crop. We've seen the product get worse. We've seen customer frustration get increased. And then we've seen the overall just, it used to be like something convenient. It used to be like a little bit of a family experience or something special that you did every once in a while when you stopped by. Let's just say one of these restaurants and it's just not like that anymore. It just seems like it's completely changed. And I just want to know your opinion, John, do you think the fast food industry survives? Do you think it continues to evolve? Do you think? I mean, we see the robotic ordering and the AI stuff that's going into a lot of the marketing. It's a lot different than when you were walking behind the scenes in a pop of John saying better ingredients, better pizza, pop of John's. It's just not, people know they walk into a fast food restaurant. They're not expecting not only that kind of customer service, but one-on-one interaction with people who in communities are invested in their customers. And I just want to know where you think kind of the industry is going and how maybe it changes moving forward. Well, to your point, what different they do pop of John's from the other brands? Well, it's the quality. Pop of John's has lost their quality. Between Jeff Smith, the chairman and Rob Lynn's the CEO, they have commoditized that brand to the point where they can sell pizza that we used to sell for $11. They can sell it for $9 six years later. In our case, the point of differentiation was quality and we had a great culture. We had a great brand. We had a great product. We had a great franchise system. And they've come in and do what private equity folks do. They've taken the heart and soul out of the business and they've lost their point of differentiation. They've lost their magic, the human touch, and they have a commodity on their hands which in an over saturated market like pizza, you're dead in the water. As far as other fast food places, no question, they're all going to survive. The question is, do they grow or do they shrink? You take California where minimum wage is $20 an hour, which is triple the minimum wage nationally which I agree is too low, but it's triple. They just laid off 10,000 workers before the law was enacted. So you're going to have to get more efficient. You're going to have to get more productive. You're going to have to have more technology. But at the end of the day, it's like Ray Crock taught us back in 1965 with McDonald's. It's all about QSC&D, quality, service, value, and cleanliness. Stick to the fundamentals, stick to what you do, do it better than anybody else, and you'll be successful in any market, i.e. Texas Roadhouse, Gaylord Hotels, Chick-fil-A. Even on the darkest night, Ron, there's a star shining somewhere. So just look at what the companies are that are successful in this environment are doing and do what they're doing. And then John, last question, because this has been awesome catching up with you for the first time. We hope at some point, just maybe to talk on the economy and some policies that we're hopefully looking to work on at some point after January and hopefully when Donald Trump wins back at the White House, what's next for you? It seems like you've kept up a pretty good finger on the pulse of not only what's going on in America, but continuing to observe over the industry. But it seems like you've brought in those horizons to include you know what's affecting the American families who you oversaw taking care of for so long, and it seems like you've got a pretty vested interest in continuing to do that. Patience, but opportunistic. It has to be, have four attributes, my next venture. One is it's got to be authentic. It's got to be truthful, it's got to be real, it's got to be solid. Two, it's got to be in my soul, I've got to have a passion for it, it's got to be what I really want to do. Three is it has to better humanity. I have no interest in doing anything, any product service that doesn't better my fellow man. And four is I like scalable things, I like big things. So if it's scalable, it's self-sufficient, it's profitable, it's in my soul, it's in my heart, I have a passion for it, and I'm good at it, that's what I'm going to do next Ron. Well we're here for it and we're kind of excited for it, much like we were excited to catch up with you today. Listen, we've got a live link to the article that came out in Breitbart in our show description today. Is there anywhere else, maybe on social media or anywhere, we could check out all the great work that you still continue to do? Thepapajohnshnotter.com Absolutely fantastic, catching up with the founder, former chairman and CEO of Papa John's International, John Shatner, thanks for joining us on the show today. Sir, have a great rest of your week. Thanks Ron. Thank you. For bringing back the joy. She does it all with a sense of joy, compassionate, careful, joyous leader. Yesterday what you saw is joy. It was the power of joy. You know what I love more than anything? The joy. You can't underestimate the power of joy in this campaign. Don't underestimate the joy factor of this, they're going to bring the joy. People were also just feeling relieved and telling you about how happy they were to see some joy back in the party. We saw last night was this joy, this positivity, you have this happy, joyful, positive ticket. The most remarkable demonstration of support, enthusiasm, joy. This idea of joy. Joy. Being joyful is part of the American identity. There is joy in the future. There is joy in having your boss be a black woman. There is joy in what is coming. What we're hearing from this vice president, future president is a message of freedom and joy. I just love that we have this new joy. You can see it just so filled with the joy of the work. The fact that we saw that exuberance last night, that joy. One is hope and joy, and the other is fear and anger. You could really see joy and exuberance versus grievance and retribution. People are tired of fear and anger, and so they're going to give to them the hope and the joy. All right. Jump back into the news portion of the show here. Last news segment on the back end of two big Tuesday editions of the show, and in case you haven't heard, and since I still get positive comments for, I guess, what would you call it? No. Am I singing voice? The new Democrat talking points have dropped. Joy. Oh, look at me. A lot of ren and stimpy memes. Oh, I love it. You know what? Does this mean that Joe Biden was the antithesis of joy? Yes, it's really interesting that he decided to use those talking points right there to kind of promote this narrative. Well, it's not so much they chose that talking point is that they had to explain her nervous tick. Hmm. So they explained it with joy. Yeah. I mean, you can't fault somebody for being joyful and exuberant. True. You. What do you? Do you hate Christmas? Oh, shit. Sorry. There you go. Joe Biden was kind of, I guess you could consider him what? Corpse like? Yeah. How joyous corpse. And you know, we've heard the same thing with a lot of different, I guess, nouns over the course of the last couple weeks. One that comes to mind was Momentum. The Kamala Momentum coming out of the announcement of Tim Wallace's, her running mate, was kind of some of, and we've played Donald Trump even alluded to it in his rally up in Bozeman, Montana over the weekend that, you know, they say weird, and then he's like, yeah, I turn on every station. Every station, weird, weird, weird, weird, weird. They're weird. It's weird. They're weird. And it's like, it's a joke the way that these, they get the emails, they get the Democrat bullet points, and then they just, I wish they would have someone, and that's a thing. There's no, it's not just integrity anymore. No, you know how, like, when you watch old movies and you talk about journalists and it's like a guy in like a wool suit, and he's got on like the little hat and he's smoking cigarettes at his desk and, you know, working hard on those, there's none of that anymore. Like, it's just the blue-haired interns who get coffee and are allowed to get hit by their handlers every time they're like, you know, plagiarizing something off the internet and turning it into a Democrat talking point. Yeah, I mean, the classic, like, Anchorman, like, Ron Burgundy thing is what we all think of for like the OG guys. Yeah. Yeah, that's a perfect example of it. I think we got a clip from the end of the show as well now. But I mean, it's the truth. There is none of that anymore. You know, we're way past, even though there are pieces of shit, people like Dan Rather and Peter Jennings, you know, we all found out that they were faking all in on it, but they made it look real. And they gave the appearance of that. There was actually some, you know, journalistic fortitude that went into reporting the news. Now it's just like, do you think Donald Trump's stupid because I do? Oh, yes, let's all agree on the panel. And there's one person. Why do you say he's stupid? He seems like, I mean, he's a billionaire. It must be pretty smart. And then they just argue like retards. Like, that's literally what the media has devolved into. And whether it's things like Kamala's momentum or the word joy, which is even stupider, you know, it's going to supersaturate the cycle for the next 82 days by the time you're here in the show. I do want to get into this a little bit, as we're going to be, you know, watching the races kind of shape up to be Donald Trump versus Kamala Harris versus Tim Walsh versus the mainstream media versus the pollsters versus the print press. It really is. I can't think of any other way to describe it is that's what it is. It's us versus all of them. It's it's literally the bane versus the guy in the pink CGI suit. Or it's like, if you want to get all the way back to boomer memes, it's like the 100 foot tall Satan versus like the one crusader with a sword and shield. Like that's where we're at right now. And if you look at it any other way, you're being extremely naive and even less intelligent. Don't be low IQ like Kamala Harris. But you know, another good thing to press at is been really good at it. Is it drip drip drip in this little stuff about what happened to Joe Biden? Because again, next week, you're going to see him rolled out at the DNC's not even allowed to be a speaker by himself on the first night. The sitting president of the United States has to be, you know, co speakering or either right before or right after Hillary Clinton. Everybody wants to know what really happened. I don't think we're going to find out until after election day when we do all the leakers are going to come out. I feel like the Biden family is just going to throw the entire party and the Obama's under the bus. I really do. Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, all of them. Once they're safe and clear. Nancy Pelosi continues to sit down for these little obscure interviews where people are like, talk about how your heart feels about Joe Biden and tell us about your relationship with him and you know, the American people want to be reaffirmed about how much you love open Biden. And I got another perfect example of Nancy Pelosi talking about what happened behind the scenes before he was removed from the ticket. I've seen up close the relationship you have with President Biden. And he respects you. He loves you. That's what I saw when I was working for him. And you've known each other for so long. And and David Remick asked you if you thought your relationship would survive after President Biden dropped out and you said, I hope so. I pray so. I cry so. And you said you lose sleep over it. And I'm just was wondering how this has impacted you personally the last couple of weeks. Well, it's been again his legacy as a preeminent president, just a, I mean, and it's hard to. He's right there among the top few, a very consequential president. I wasn't. I wanted the decision to be a better campaign so that we could win. I did not think we were on a path to victory. So that was really more of the thing. He made his decision that that would be accomplished by him stepping aside. You're going to hear every single person within the Democrat apparatus. I was going to get one of those in the show today. Go and pass the buck to a shadowy figure who everybody obviously knows is Barack Obama and never say his name. Don't you agree, Noah? Yeah. I mean, Nancy Pelosi didn't and that was a, I guess you could call it booze cruise exclusive live on the infamous MSDNC show inside Jen Saki's vagina. And believe it or not, which went right under the radar too while Nancy Pelosi was out drip, drip, drip in in the new cycle, Joe Biden sat down for a snoo exclusive with another major outlet. I believe it was PBS. He also did one with CBS news as well, the one who put out the taxes on tips. And the erasure of it is good for Kamala Harris, bad for Donald Trump. Here's them asking Joe Biden, "Khanal, man, tell us. They're not going to hit you. What happened?" The polls we had showed that it was the neck and neck race would have been down the wire. But what happened was a number of my Democratic colleagues in the House of the Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the races. And I was concerned if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic. You'd be interviewing me about why did Nancy Pelosi say why did so? And I thought it would be a real distraction. What do you think, Noah? Do you think it is a real distraction? It is now that people were asking questions about it. Yeah. And it's just weird to hear Joe Biden name Nancy Pelosi. I mean, I'm probably the lead up to that question. We didn't get the question part in the clip that I pulled was like, "We've heard Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker of the House, come out and talk about what went on behind the scenes. Why don't you clarify for us?" She said they wanted a change in the direction of the campaign, didn't necessarily meet the candidate. She thought it was based on some of the things you should be doing. And actually, you know, you're off the ticket. And he's like, "Well, after the debate, they told me I was a disaster." And long story short, a lot of people in the House and Senate started pressuring me to get out. So he's not going to say that they were going to invoke the 25th Amendment. No, he can't. He cannot admit to an actual literal coup, even though we all know that's what happened. So I'll pull maybe later after a couple of election cycles go through, and he writes his tell-all book if he's still alive. Oh, it's ghost right in any ways. He'll just, well, it's Hunter will speak for him, and then he'll just say Joe Biden. He tries to write it. He'll become a ghost. It's my prediction. Oh, boy. I saw a poll came out yesterday. Who voters trust more on the economy? It's better than all the fake news polls have come out and shown Kamala Harris winning everywhere from the general head-to-head to in every swing in battleground state, 53 to 44% Donald Trump over Kamala Harris. Also, so Donald Trump weighing in yesterday on the state of the race here, and just about what's going on, you know, with politics. This is from his true social account before his return to Twitter. I'm doing really well in the presidential race, leading in almost all the real polls. And this is despite the Democrats unprecedentedly changing the primary winning candidate, Sleepy Joe Biden, midstream with a candidate Kamala Harris, who failed to get even a single primary vote, and was the first out of 15 Democrat candidates to quit the race back in 2020. I did great in 2016 and won, did much better in 2020, getting many more millions more votes than I did in 2016, but this 2024 is thus far my best campaign, the most enthusiasm and spirit, etc. My team is doing a great job despite the constant eight-year obstacle of dealing with the fake news and low self-esteem leakers. We are going to win big and take our country back from the radical left losers, fascists, communists. We will very quickly all in caps know what you want to finish it for me. Make America great again? How did you know? I love the man. Here are some of those polls that came out over the course of the last couple of days. This is from Trafalgar, one of the ones that is actually probably honestly reporting the numbers a little bit better in the mainstream. Pennsylvania, Trump, 46, Harris, 44, Nevada, Trump, 48, Harris, 45, North Carolina, Trump, 49, Harris, 45, Arizona, Trump, 48, Harris, 47. All the margin of errors there is one to two, and you know, listen, I don't, we didn't weigh, they said Wisconsin was like double digits, heading into the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden won by a fraction of 1%, and then I'm airquoting one by a fraction of 1%, so you can't believe these assets. They're going to do whatever it takes to, you know, disenfranchise everybody and make it seem like she's something that she's not. Hey, Noah, did you hear this week that the guy who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump up in Butler, Pennsylvania, a couple weeks ago actually had a couple of range dates, the same day that the Secret Service detail, including the snipers who was supposed to be protecting Donald Trump, had a range date on the exact same day, at the same place, same place, same time, it's like he was stalking them, or getting pointers, right? Listen, we're a month out and we still have no details, no details on motivation, no manifesto, no connectivity, nothing on his finances, nothing on his friends. The only clip we have of his dad is walking out of a police station when he went to get the personal belongings that they were releasing to the family, and when asked by the press that he had anything to say, he stopped and turned and looked at the camera and said, "I have to take a piss," before getting in his truck and driving away. Like, we have nothing, zero accountability from this administration to produce to the American public. The information that we deserve to know, it's wild. CNN has been one of the great proprietors of the massive amount of BS that has been rolled out for Kamala Harris, and part of the, I guess you can call it almost like a Voltron of entities that come together and take on Donald Trump. What did we say it was? Trump versus Harris versus Walt versus the mainstream press versus the pollsters versus the print press. It's like, you know, our powers combine to try and stop Donald Trump. Here's a perfect example of exactly what I'm talking about. There is a real belief among the campaign that this election, and I think if you look at either side, they both believe this, is going to be decided by a finite number of voters, and the Trump campaign believes that they have to reach out to those voters in non-traditional ways, and part of that might be doing an interview with Elon Musk. Elon Musk has a big social media following. These are people who aren't going to tune into traditional news, who aren't going to follow politics in a traditional sense, but they are going to tune into Elon Musk doing a Twitter spaces with Donald Trump. It's the same reason you saw him sit down with streamer Aidan Ross. It's the same reason he's been doing a series of podcasts and MMA stuff. This is a group of people who are probably first-time voters, potential voters, and they believe that those people would swing in favor of Donald Trump, so that's who they're trying to reach with these various kinds of events. They're still melting down that Donald Trump got to sit down with Elon Musk for almost two hours yesterday, and no one could stop them. Yeah. You know, and these people, the media, all right, remember what we just were talking about before that last clip, know about the journalistic integrity. It doesn't exist anymore, like your old school journalist or people that read the news, you know, like the welcoming everybody get around the TV and see what they have to say for a half hour. They send these retards out. This one being from the House of Representatives, Democrat rep Dan Goldman, who's no fan or friend of people like, let's just say Cash Patel. He jumps on Fox News yesterday, right? And they're pressing the issue of Kamala Harris doing media or doing anything. Like, why is she only agreeing to the ABC debates when we know that's the most toxic environment possible that Donald Trump is going to have to go into? It's like literally him being inserted into Harrison Ford CGI-wise into any Indiana Jones movie except the last two because they were terrible. Yeah. And this idiot moron, this is a congressman who's supposed to be going out and speaking as a surrogate of the Harris campaign. When they pushed him on debates, listen to what this moron had to say. If I'm Donald Trump, I understand why he doesn't want a debate. Kamala Harris is accepted through. He is he is. He said yesterday, September 4th, September 10th, September 17th. He said he had to yes, to a lot of them. So it's not that he's obviously afraid to debate. No, no, no, no. So no, no, no. He had agreed to September 10th. Won a win by who got pushed out. What's the difference? Why should he know the debate whoever the candidate is on September 10th as he agreed to? What is the difference between candidate Biden and candidate? No, it's fine. He said he would do it. I'm just saying he's also agreed to other debates. You said he hasn't agreed to others. He has. It's the Kamala Harris campaign that hasn't agreed on the other side. Do you do? No, you heard that, right? This guy has no fucking clue. He's making it like he thinks he probably looked at this hand or like, am I on Fox News or MSNBC? Like, should I be saying that, like, no, Donald Trump, that's not true. He's not saying that. Like, he's not debating Kamala Harris. And like, he looked totally unprepared. He looked embarrassed and then burp bears like, what are you talking about? Like Donald Trump has put it out on social media. He said it as rallies. Like, he wants to do three debates with Kamala Harris. If she doesn't do it, he's going to have bipartisan town halls and take questions from both sides of the aisle and apologize for her not being there. Oh, no. What do you mean? Kamala Harris said she will debate. And then they're like, well, why wouldn't Donald Trump debate Kamala Harris? What's the difference between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden? What's the difference between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden? These people are fucking morons. It's sad. What is the difference? Come on. Come on. Come on.

Black and independent voters are probably something that are going to move marginally in the direction of Donald Trump in this election. MS DNC's host, Mark Murray, says neither young voters, black voters, or independent ones are really open, receptive, or hyped for Kamala Harris. I was actually surprised it was on the network yesterday. I pulled the cliplets here with young people. Is there any data on that? So what's interesting is that young young voters and also ended up black voters didn't change all that much between where Biden was in Pennsylvania in July and where Harris is now. Independence didn't move in Harris' direction. But that's not what the mainstream media is telling you. The mainstream media is telling you that Kamala Harris is winning by margins outside of the margin of error in every poll right now, which couldn't be further from the case. You know, and some recently unearthed video, and I'm sure it's pretty hard to find because Kamala Harris was out very early in the 2020 election cycle. The woman who's going around now and saying that it's Donald Trump's fault, the border didn't get fixed. And she's the only one that can fix it, spoke at a town hall back in 2020 and talked about closing every detention center holding illegals in this country if she wins the presidency. Let's check it out. Hi, my name is Sally Hartman. I'm a volunteer with the Center for Worker Justice. I want to know when you become president, would you be committing to close the immigration detention centers? Absolutely, on day one. I'm surprised they weren't able to nail that as one of the policies that Joe Biden erased on day one. They probably just forgot about that one. Kamala Harris was giving all her talking points. No, what do you think they probably just forgot to even mention it? Did you see the statement that they put out regarding the Donald Trump Elon Musk Twitter space yesterday? No, I don't think I caught that one. What was it? I can only imagine. This is how it reads. Right now, Elon Musk is interviewing Donald Trump live on Twitter. We're not calling it X. It's not enough that Musk has pledged to donate millions of dollars to help re-elect Donald Trump. He's using his purchased platform, one of the largest social media sites in the world, Cope, to spread Donald Trump's unhinged and hateful agenda to millions of users. If not, that's all you need to hear. Chipping $25 now to help Kamala Harris and Tim have the resources they need to respond to their lives. Listen, they don't need about any money after what they're getting in the press right now. Otherwise, let us remind you why this is a big deal. The richest person in the world is a lackey for Team MAGA. I guess they're talking about Elon Musk. Musk already ruined Twitter by allowing hate speech and disinformation to flood the platform. Now Musk is using his voice and fortune to broaden the reach to try and control our democracy. How did you know? Two plus two is always four. So racist. Wait, we're not going to call it X. Why? What the fuck matters? And you said it anyway, stupid. Exactly. Speaking of stupid, perfect segue. KJP held a presser at the White House press pool yesterday. Believe it or not, and I can't believe this is actually one of the talking points they center out there with. In addition to not denying that Kamala Harris copied Donald Trump on no tax on tips and Donald Trump being the one to blame for the Kamala Harris Joe Biden border, she said when it comes to policy and their partnership as president and vice president, there is absolutely no daylight between the office of the president and the vice president. Should be a huge Republican talking point today. Let's hear it. Sure. You noted how the vice president has been a partner in all of the heavy lifts over these last three and a half years given that they've worked so closely together in that time. What does the presidency as the vice president's biggest achievement during their time in office together? So look, because they've been partners, those achievements have been done certainly those historic unprecedented achievements have been done together. I'll say this, the president believes in the vice president leadership, her temperament, her experience, and he is, and he has said this himself. One of the proudest decisions that he made in 2020 was selecting her as vice president because he believed that she can go on day one. And you've seen that, you've seen them do that together on day one of this administration. That doesn't change. I'm not going to parse out anything from here. They have been partners. She's been a critical partner for this president for for during this term and will continue to do so. You will see them together on Thursday and Maryland. She's the fucking worst. She's retarded. She's worse than Biden. You know, and again, that should be a major Republican strategist talking point forever starting today. There is no daylight between them. They are one and the same when it comes to policy, their partnership, their friendship, their office. They consider it one. Joe Biden tapped her supposedly because she would be ready to go. God forbid anything happened to him on day one. And he stands by that. She stands by that. And you should just say like, listen, you're offering up all these solutions as part of a panderment to the electorate. But in reality, you and Joe Biden are cuffed and tied and millstone by these horrible policies that have wrecked this country. And you have to take accountability for it. So it's just the way it is. It's not like what you're going to get in the media today. Got a couple of headlines to read as we're getting ready to close out here and jump in with retired US Army Colonel Colonel Douglas McGregor. Rumbling Trump Musk interview marred by tech issues. That's from the Independent. Trump's interview with Musk devolves into yet another ex catastrophe. Let's see. Politico. Musk might be the only person Trump listens to on climate CNN. Musk tries to help Trump halt the Harris surge. That's completely false. New York Times Trump regales Elon Musk would familiar falsehoods. Arizona Central. Elon Musk interview, they put interview in quotes with Donald Trump was an embarrassing disaster. They just flat out went and said it. It wasn't an interview. It was a chat. From the Wired website, Donald Trump and Elon Musk's ex conversation took forever to start. Then never ended. I like that. USA Today. So they had Trump rambles slurs and lists his way through Elon Musk's interview. It was an unmitigated disaster. And of course, MSDNC. At least he's consistent. Brian Tyler Cohen on Elon Musk's failed ex interview with Donald Trump. That's what we're going to be getting in mainstream media. And it's what we're going to be getting between now and November 5. Last clip I've gotten as our last audio clip of the day. I saw some excellent journalism going on on CNN as one of their anchors tries to get a straight answer out of a surrogate from the Kamala Harris campaign. Let's check it out. What's on the vice president schedule today? Well, she's traveling and talking to voters and getting her message out there to the American people, something that she's been doing from the very start of this campaign is something that she certainly did when she was president Biden's running made as vice president. But look, you just mentioned the space she's going to be giving and I was asking about today and I don't think she's got any campaign events on the schedule today, does she? Well, she and Governor Wals have been traveling across the country. They hit nearly every battleground state last week on the campaign trail. They raised 36 million dollars within the first 24 hours of Governor Wals joining the ticket. And what she's going to be doing Friday is taking her economic message directly to the voters in North Carolina. I certainly don't want to get in front of exactly what she's going to say. But she's going to talk a little bit about how she's going to make sure that she's putting consumers first as part of her economic plan. She's going to take on corporate price gougers. She's going to take on junk fees. And that's something that, you know, John, she did when she was attorney general of California, something she continued to do as the United States Senator of California. So she's going to be taking that message out to voters to see what she's going to say on Friday. I think we all do. And I'll ask you more about that in just a sec. The reason I was asking you about today is because it seems like she has time if she wanted to do an interview with a member of the media or do a news conference, correct? We see it in the integrity development real time here. Well, what she has said on the campaign trail that she would be doing an interview at some point and interview. She said that I think last week during during a rope line or when she was talking to reporters. But look, what is important here, John, is that she is taking her message directly to the American people. She had a number of battleground states. I think we had 15,000 people in Detroit last week, concert 12 to 13,000 in Nevada to the voters and drawing large crowds. So she's actually having those direct conversations, but not today. She could do an interview today, I would think, you know, because she's not out there to get asshole. Well, look, she could she's taking her message directly to voters. And just because she doesn't have anything in interview schedule and our public schedule doesn't mean that she's not taking her message directly to voters about. You know what, if I was that anchor right there, I would have done a little bit more prep. And when she said that, I would have said like, well, let's talk about that message that she's promoting to voters. And just like Donald Trump had said at his rally out in Montana, I would have had the four straight days of Kamala Harris reading verbatim, even the fake laughs that are inserted into the four different rallies rallies that she did over the course of a few swing states talking the exact same speech to voters. Like, is that so are we just going to get a robotic candidate now who's going to read off of the teleprompter much like Joe Biden did, and then see what that lady says she probably would have ended the interview right there. Don't you think? Yeah, game over. Listen, we're good, but we're not good. We got to work, but we're okay. And we're going to leave it at that. We'll see where we're at by Friday. Might be better, might be worse. Who knows? At least we're here for it. We're getting ready to jump in with Colonel McGregor right now. But before we do, one last check in with one of our partners.

All right, joining us next on the show today, this big Tuesday edition of the state for breakfast podcast. He's a retired US Army Colonel and a combat veteran. He's also an author, commentator, former advisor to the secretary of defense. One of the great friends of the show welcoming back Colonel Douglas McGregor. Thanks for coming on. Yeah, happy to be here. Oh boy. Well, every time we catch up Colonel, it seems like we're inching closer to World War III. You know, nothing's changed over the course of the last few weeks since you've been on the show. Obviously, the hostilities between Iran and Israel has ramped up. Israel conducted a successful assassination within the Iranian borders not too long ago. And now Iran is poised to make a response. It seems like anything substantial could drive the US into a kinetic response against Iran. But you know, no one's got their finger on the pulse of this greater than you. So we brought you in today to kind of catch us up to date on what's going on in the situation. I think you've got it right. I think Mr Netanyahu currently controls what we do and what our government does. And he's got the backing of the United States Armed Forces. He wants to use it. So he's done as many provocative things as he possibly can to try and entice the Iranians to attack him so that he can call on us to help him. I suppose that's going to happen. But the Iranians are not rushing it. And I think one of the things that people don't realize is there are now thousands of Russian soldiers, advisors, military assistants, technicians on the ground in Iran. And they are setting up the best air and missile space defense that they can put together in as short a time as they've got. They've also brought in enormous quantities of electronic warfare equipment. And the Russians do lead the world in electronic warfare. We've seen them have great success, not only in Ukraine, but also in Syria. And then finally they have been receiving tactical ballistic missiles, the Escondra missile, and I think cruise missiles as well, although I'm been able to confirm that yet. So I think the Iranians are getting ready to be on the receiving end of whatever the Israelis do in response to them. And at the same time, the Israelis are trying to prepare as much as possible, but they're very, very dependent on us. Let there be no mistake about it. Thus far, we've made it clear that we're not going to commit any ground forces, but the truth is we don't have ground forces to commit. Our ground force that fights is largely strewn across this border that runs between Russia and Estonia all the way down to the border between Ukraine and Romania. So we don't really have the combat forces to send on the ground. The Marines are very light force. We've got 5,000 in the area, but I think they're largely there for evacuation, although some of them could be committed on the ground to protect Americans on the way out, I suppose. So you're right. We're very close to what looks like Armageddon finally, after many, many years. It's unfortunate, but I don't don't know how we avoid it. I completely agree with you there, which is like where I want to kind of go next. You know, Iran is going to do what they're going to do. I think it's going to be a greater response than was what the 200 missile volley that they sent over to Israel a couple months ago after targeting some of their generals and stuff there. But now we talk about Israel counter striking Iran again, and you have to think infrastructure, high value targets, do they target their nuclear facilities or know, I mean, you know, they have spies all over the world. And what is this safer American politics? You did mention that, you know, Bibi Netanyahu's got the American Congress essentially in his pocket. I'm paraphrasing now, of course. But the way people just go out and blindly stump on TV for, you know, they talk about Joe Biden's failed foreign policies at one side of their mouth, but then are promoting what's going on. And again, Israel's response would happen on October 7 is what it is. You've highlighted that so many times and so greatly, Colonel McGregor, that it needed to be swift, it needed to be impactful, but then it needed to end. And they've just drug this out for so long. Now they're dragging other countries into it. In addition to Iran, you know, there's Lebanon, there's Syria, which Israel has also conducted the tax in over the course of the last several months and almost a year since October 7 now. And it just seems like, you know, our Congress has helped facilitate this much like they have helped facilitate the war in Ukraine. And when you talk about what the potentiality of this zone really heating up, it doesn't seem like there's going to be any clear winners at the end of the day. No, frankly, I think most of the Arabs and Turks and Iranians agree with you. But unfortunately, Mr. Netanyahu and with our assistance has helped to promote a degree of unity between these three groups, Arabs, Turks and Iranians, as well as Sunni and Shia that has not existed in a thousand years. That's the bad news. Now, what are the Iranians going to do? I think you've described it, but the problem for the Iranians is that they know that once they've responded, and this time will will be destructive. It's not going to be a massive response, but it'll be a destructive one. They have to assume that the Israelis will come back at them with everything they have. And that's the problem for the Iranians. In other words, on the one hand, they want to scale their response in a way that signals that they don't want a regional war. There's nobody in the region wants a regional war except Mr. Netanyahu and his American supporters. Everybody else wants to find a way out of this morass, but you've got this unwillingness to compromise on Gaza. Gaza has to be destroyed. Its population driven out or killed. That's the Israeli position. So as long as that is the position there at war with, I would say increasingly, the entire Islamic world. And as we've already discussed, potentially Russia, now the Chinese Foreign Minister communicated directly to the leadership of Iran on behalf of Mr. Xi that China stands with Iran. And if Iran's sovereignty is at risk or jeopardized, the Chinese will support them. I don't know if many of your viewers have ever looked carefully at the straits of four moves, but you're talking about very, very narrow straits. I mean, these things, it's not to the point where you could throw a rock across it, but damn near. And the channel is very narrow. It's not difficult to mine that and hold the whole world hostage to what comes through that. The Chinese are hostage, so are the Japanese and the Koreans and others in Northeast Asia who need access to that oil and natural gas. So that's a disaster that's waiting to happen. That's going to have an impact globally. And as you say, there are no real winners. All the one could argue that if there is a winner in all of this, it's probably Russia, because it'll be able to sell more gas and more more oil and more resources than ever. And Europeans who've been driven into bankruptcy and ruined by us because of our sanctions against Russia, I think this fall, you're going to see that change dramatically. New governments will come in and they'll say, that's enough. We're not interested in this anymore, especially in Berlin. And the whole facade of unity in NATO will just collapse and crumble in front of us. That's where I think we're headed. Yeah, I mean, it's definitely a potential road that we can go on. And what does this say? Colonel, you've been doing this for a long time, both as a soldier, as an advisor and all the things you've done in between. Have you ever seen American leadership like on the global stage this week to the point where it's not only, I mean, I don't even want to call Joe Biden the president at the moment, but I mean, we've got no one commanding the ship. There's no one at the wheel of our country right now. And then when you talk about all the surrogates from the Obama administration who serve under them, you know, the Blinken's and the Sullivan's, the Valerie Jarrett's and everybody in between, they've done a really good job of just kind of destabilizing the two major points of the world outside of Asia, which is, I'm sure at some point, you know, if they had more time someplace, they try to destabilize as well. But I mean, you know, talking about American leadership, I've never seen it this bad and I'm almost 50 years old. I know you've been doing this probably just a few years longer than me, but I just want to get your kind of commentary or opinion on how bad it is right now really when it comes to command and control of our country. Well, I think you're right. There's an expression in the Navy when a captain is absent from the bridge, there's no one to command the ship and the Navy calls it ship not under command. I would argue that the nation is under influence. It's under the influence of Mr. Ned and Yahoo and other powerful lobbies, not just the Israel lobby, but there is no one in command. And we're being governed by faceless bureaucrats and billionaire oligarchs with corporate lobbies behind them. That's what's really happening. And so you have an open border. Millions are still pouring in. That's that is a powder keg waiting to blow up in everyone's face. I think everybody knows that. And if you once again go to the economy, go to the last treasury auction, it was abysmal. It was catastrophic. No one wants to buy treasuries with a longer payoff date than two years. So what does that mean? If they won't buy your 10 and 30 year bonds, that says there's no confidence in us at all. No one will invest money for more than two years in our treasuries. That signals that we're on the verge of a financial crisis. And we all know we got problems in the banking sector. I think this whole thing is being held together by rubber bands and paper clips. Financially, once the financial system goes under, what do we think is going to happen in all of our major cities where increasingly these migrants are huddled? That's a really good point. You know, we had a congressman on from Oklahoma at the top of our first show today, Colonel. And you know, one of the things he talked about. And I think it's kind of the realest attitude that you bring to the show as well. I mean, you don't come off as very partisan. You don't necessarily say it's either the right or the left's fault. You talk about the larger entities, the global entities, the lobby groups, the billionaire donor class, that all have their fingers in kind of these things that ebb and flow American policy. And he said, it really doesn't matter, you know, who wins the election in November. If Congress and the people who are being controlled right now aren't willing to get back to the drawing board and get this country financially under control. It's not going to matter how many like America first or America last policies you continue to implement. Once we get over the cliff economically with this debt that's up, you know, a trillion dollars every hundred days now, there is no going back from that. And it will be the beginning of the eternal collapse of the United States of America. Do you agree with that? I wouldn't call it eternal. We're definitely going to decline into a hole for a while, whether we like it or not. And the Congressman was right whether or not Donald Trump or Harris get in there. There's no readiness that I can find on either side to really deal with these issues. And if you push real hard on these candidates, they don't have answers. I mean, of course, if you watch the Republican convention had struck me that at least 50% of what went on in the convention was about defending Israel with our dying breath. And when you look at the Harris side of the house, we haven't had that convention, but she keeps talking about a party of color. So people are standing back and saying, well, where's the America first party? We didn't hear much about America first from this Republican crowd. And then you have the third candidate, Kennedy. He's the only one that when you ask him, gives you a substantive answer, he has policies, he's thought it through, he'll give you an answer, whether you like it or not. It's another matter. But you're not getting any answers out of Donald Trump or Harris, Harris cackles. And Donald Trump just says, hey, it's going to be great, it's going to be great. I promise you. Okay. That's fine. I like Donald, but what else? A little bit more substances, what you're looking for. Do you think that R.K. Jr. is included in either of the next two administrations, regardless of who wins in November? Do you think he's just kind of froze out right now from politics? And the wrecking ball that, you know, you assert that he brings to the table is not something that well, number one, won't sit well with Congress because of all the major lobbying that's going on there. And number two takes away from probably, you know, the policy points that are being driven by both candidates at the top of the Democrat and Republican tickets right now. Yeah, I don't see a role for him in either of these administrations. And I think both of these administrations, unless we see dramatic change in the personnel staffing, are effectively headed down the drain because they don't have the right answers. They're not providing any prescriptions. And what they do provide is more of the same. I mean, if you like everything that's been going on in the country for the last three and a half years, by all means, vote for Harris. Okay, if you don't like what's been happening and you're looking for an alternative, you can certainly turn to Donald Trump. But what urgency and what sense of confidence do you have when you look at the people that he talks about putting into key positions, Pompeo, Tom Cotton, O'Brien, these people are as anxious to load up and drop bombs on everyone in sight as anybody we've ever had. So if you want to absolutely guarantee beyond any question whatsoever, more warfare, I'd say, unfortunately, that's what the Trump crowd looks like they want to do. And they haven't addressed the issue of money. How do we go forward? We're going to have to make cuts and spending. If we don't cut spending, our creditors won't lend us any money. We've spent ourselves into oblivion at home and abroad. And what have we bought? Nothing. Dead, a lot of debt. No, it's the truth. And I think when you talk about some of the foreign policy advisors that are being promoted out there in the press and by the campaign, I do think we need to look in a bunch of different directions. Part of the success that Donald Trump had was not letting them pull the trigger every time they wanted to. I mean, God forbid we would have been at war with Iran, but these people know the back end of the second four years of Donald Trump in office means that his legacy will be concluded at the end of those four years. So it's make or break time for whatever kind of policy points or Trump doctrine that they want to be a part of. So I do like the concerns that you have there. Last thing I wanted to touch with you on Colonel, can you tell us a little bit more? You kind of roll it out a little bit every time you come in the show. But I think it's very important for our listenership. You're also the CEO and founder of ourcountryartchoice.com. It's a great website. You get a lot of videos and appearances. And when you bring in guests to talk about some of these really important issues that you have posted there on the Twitter or X account, and I think it's a valuable resource that our listenership needs to know all about. Well, our country art choice is very easy to find. You just spell our country art choice is one word.com. You can get to the website. And I think you will find a lot of interesting things. A lot of interesting things involving this COVID disaster and the pharmaceutical industry. Things involving the trafficking of children and human trafficking in general, which we are absolutely committed to try and stop. We have brilliant, brilliant people right now trying to assemble databases that can be utilized by authorities to rescue children. We lose half a million children a year inside the United States. This is outrageous. We call ourselves a great superpower. We like to think of ourselves as the center of the universe. Well, that's a terrible, terrible record. We've got to get control of that. And of course, that's bound up with the rule of law. Putting an end to these open borders, we're going to have to make these people leave that have come here under illegal circumstances. We can't afford them. And when the economy tanks, it's going to be very ugly. Americans are going to need help and assistance. Americans need that today. Americans need real leadership in new directions. We don't need war. It's the funniest, you know, the easiest way to look at everything, but it's the one way that nobody wants to really like take on. It's the hardest conversation we have to have. Very thankful that we get to have it with you at least once a month here on the show. Colonel, we've got your Twitter account. We've got our country, our choice.com, and of course, Douglas McGregor.com. Line the show description today. Really thankful that anytime you can come and share with our listenership, listen, you want to have the hard conversations. You don't want a cheerleading session. You sit down and listen to this 15, 20 minutes every time Colonel McGregor comes on. And at the end of the day, it's going to do one thing and one thing only. It's going to make you think about what you see in our ingesting in the news 24/7, hearing from your politicians. But then what the actual truth behind all of those narratives are. So again, thank you for joining us today, Colonel. And again, we'll be looking to catch up with you soon. This is the retired U.S. Army Colonel, combat veteran, author, one of great friends of the show, Douglas McGregor. Thanks for joining us. Have a great rest of your week, sir. Hey, thank you.
