Commander Dan O'Shea is here with us. During his military career, he served in various leadership roles within the SEALs team, gaining a reputation for his expertise in planning and executing complex missions in high risk environments. The commander is well known for his role as a coordinator for the hostage working group in Iraq, where he was responsible for coordinating all U.S. government efforts to recover American hostages. His work in this position involved liaison with multiple agencies managing delicate negotiations and leveraging intelligence to ensure safe return of captives. You've seen the commander. He's been on CNN. He's been on Fox. He's been all over the place. He's here with us today. Let's bring him up, Jim. That's your job. I'm getting there. That's Jim's job. He's behind the scenes. Commander, how are you, sir? Thank you for joining us. We know you rearranged your schedule for us, and we appreciate that. We've got a short time with you today. If I missed anything in the bio, and I know I did, because afterwards, you've done a lot of things as well. I didn't get into that. If you want to briefly go into that, and then we can get right into the latest news about six hostages who were murdered in Gaza. Again, welcome. Thank you for coming on the show. Yeah, my pleasure, guys. An honor to be here. You nailed the highlights. I was in the SEAL teams in the '90s. Got out. 9/11 hit. I immediately came back in. Came back as a lieutenant commander almost right away. I was a staff officer. I gave everyone else, whichever one does it. Even green braids and navy seals have to play the staff role. I spent two years at Special Operations Command as a Central as a liaison to U.S. Central Command, General Tommy Frank's early days of the war. My claim to Famer, what I'm famous for, infamous for, is in the summer of '04, I took one more set of orders to go to Baghdad for what was supposed to be 120 days in the sandbox. Day one on the job, it was July 6 of 2004. It was just about a month after the Nick Bird beheading. I went to a morning meeting with the ambassador staff, the Pullmill ambassador, Ambassador Newman, and his chief of staff came down to the laundry list of items of coordination for the day. The last item was about two Bulgarian truck drivers. They've been kidnapped in Mosul. Quote, "Some guy names our Cali," says he's going to cut their heads off unless the Bulgarians pull their troops out of Iraq. He said President Bush called the President Bulgaria, said, "Hey, it's an important mission. The Bulgarians have a 500-man battalion in the coalition of the willing. Roughly 40 odd nations were involved in the effort to bring stability and security and democracy to Iraq." And he said, "We will do everything we can to save these two hostages." And two armed boys were fighting that day from Bulgaria, and the chief of staff put to the one military guy in the room and said, "Dan, you're a Navy SEAL. Go call your friends." Simple tasking. And I talk about it in a leadership lecture I do about called Message to Garcia, which every incoming midshipman and plea that they at West Point learns about taking charge when you're given a task. And it's the most everyone in the military, especially the Army, knows the lesson at Mystery to Garcia. And I encourage your viewers just to simply go online, Google Message to Garcia, and read this parable about a Spanish-American war turn of the century. The U.S. wanted dominance in our part of the world. They didn't want European powers to have control. And Spain still controlled Cuba. That was a Spanish territory. And the president at the time, McKinley, wanted to get a message to the leader of the insurgents in Cuba. And it was a General Garcia hiding in the jungles of Cuba. And he said, "We must get a message of Garcia." So the call went out in the war department, what we now call the Pentagon. Back when we used to war wars, we called it the war department. But they summoned this young West Point graduate. He was like a First Lieutenant, maybe a Captain Captain Rowan or First Lieutenant Rowan. And he was summoned to the War Department, brought in a room with a bunch of generals. And they simply said, "Lieutenant, this message must be delivered to Garcia." He simply walked up, saluted, grabbed the satchel, put it over his shoulder, turned around, and went out and executed the mission. And the concept being that you're getting your entire military career beating, listed officer. Someone is always outranking you. Someone's always giving you orders, who tell you make four stars, and you're the chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Even then, you're taking orders from the Commander-in-Chief. And it said, "Use your initiative to go get the job done." And that's exactly what this young lieutenant did. And he accomplished that mission. And I've used that parable that when I was handed that kidnap in case, I was, I think I was 34. I had just enough experience. And when you're a field grade or a major slash lieutenant commander, you're just knowledgeable enough to do things. But you don't really have any authority, because you're not a colonel, you're not an 80-captain or much less a general. But I had, God gave me that mission at that time to handle that task. And that's why I can speak with authority on these hostage-taking incidents from these jihadi groups that, every couple of years, there's a new group that comes up between Al Qaeda, which is what I dealt with. The Taliban, obviously, off the homework of Africa became a huge issue, the piracy issue. And ISIS, as we all recall a few years ago, they were doing these beheadings. I mean, the Nick Burgh beheadings became a live scenario with ISIS. And now we have Hamas, and they just executed six hostages, one included Hirsch Goldberg-Paulin, who was an American Israeli citizen. They literally executed them on the verge of a rescue. The IDF were, you know, coming into the tunnels. And I tell you, a more challenging environment to do a hostile rescue mission than a channelized area, which is virtually going through those tunnels. It's what we call a fatal funnel. You know, when you go through a doorway into a house, SWAT officers, special forces, when you're going into a clear room, that fatal funnel is a doorway. And immediately going in, you go break left, break right. You want to get away from that fatal funnel where all the bullets are being attracted, because that's the light, and that's what the enemy's pointing at, because I know you're coming in to get them. But when you have these tunneling systems, virtually, that entire tunnel is a fatal funnel. So the only way you can pull off a successful hostage rescue mission, as I've always learned from my time in Iraq, takes three things to pull rescue off hostage rescue. Number one, proof of life. You want to ensure that the hostages are still alive. You don't want to risk forces unless you're after a hot success will be recovered. Number two, a 10-digit grid. You want to know exactly where that hostage is being held, because you need the element of surprise up to the final moment when you're breaking, you breach the door, virtually impossible in those tunnels. And then number three is the authorities to launch the mission, which in my case was sometimes the hardest thing to get. But it's really a tragic because they're on the verge of another ceasefire talk. The Americans are the only ones who really have leverage over Netanyahu, because we're supplying their technology for the Iron Dome. Obviously, a lot of communications, their jets and everything. I mean, virtually the US gets probably more money to Israel than damn near any other country. And we all could leverage that. And so the whole emphasis is the American hostage still being held. They're the bargaining chip. They're the most, they're the aces in the hole. And to execute, not only the other hostage, all six, including the American, it just shows what Israel is dealing with. And the hard part is the world is turning. The world is putting pressure on Netanyahu. And our own government, which I just, I'm appalled at the utter incompetence of the money that was funded. I mean, you go back, and I can go back and give old history lesson, which is a podcast just on hostage terrorism alone. And I can give you guys going all the way back to the well, 1972 Olympics, because that's the first terrorism raised its ugly head. And I'm famous voter. Now you guys are old enough, you got grand, you're big, you might remember it. I was a kid, I was born 67 to 72. I vaguely still remember the image of that, that Palestinian terrorist leaning on the edge with that, that Balquavon, remember that famous photo. And then we had the American Embassy overthrow in 1979. The irony is, it's the grandsons of the men of the, the terrorist cell that overthrew the American Embassy, because the moos in Iran, they're the ones that are financing all this. And I don't know, you know, your viewers should know this, because this is open source. It's in the news. September 11th of last year. And I have the article, because it's in the presentation I deliver, it's a Reuters article. September 11th of 2023, the US released $6 billion to Tehran for assets, whatever being held, $6 billion. And of course, the administration says, Oh, it's because we're not going to allow it. It's only going to be used for humanitarian purposes. Right. Yeah. Well, if you're given $6 billion to take care of, you know, things that need to be every government has to pay for, well, what else can you devote $6 billion towards correct secret Hezbollah Hamas, who are literally throwing missiles into Israel every day. Israel's constantly under attack. They're surrounded by the news. But even after this American is murdered, executed, our president has the gall to tell Netanyahu to publicly go on record that he's not doing enough. He's asked by a reporter, one of the helicopter, you know, and he says, Netanyahu is not doing enough. And it just to show you, like we're living in bizarre a world. We are. So with, is that your opinion as well? I mean, what is your opinion? Do you think that Netanyahu is doing exactly what he needs to do from an act? He's got to do whatever he needs to do. Or is there something he could now maybe try this a little more? I mean, listen, they they they've virtually destroyed Gaza. Now I'm not on the ground. And a comedy, and I say this always, if the person on the ground has the best situation awareness, what needs to be done. And by the US, you know, he's, I mean, I'm not don't quote Dan O'Shea, quote Bob Gates, Robert Gates, former CIA director, former secretary of defense, when he wrote his memoirs, he famously talked about quote, then vice president Joe Biden. He's been wrong on every national security policy since the dawn of time. And I have, I'm a political animal. I've been following, I knew who Joe Biden was when he had elected senator, knew it out of California, because I I was fascinated by, by politics and hell, half my high school class of my year book was like, they thought it was even the next JFK, because I was going to go the name of the academy, go serve and then come back and run for office. And God forbid I would never want to be anywhere near a politician. I'm like, you know, you listen to the policy positions of Democrats, and this is their problem. They view the world from the lens of what they know, what the Judeo-Christian or western ideology, they cannot look inside the mind of a jihadist and understand them, and they understand them, and they put the guilt on us, they put the blame on the west and the colonial powers that preceded us. I mean, when France, Portugal, you can write a law of feminist every European power at one point was into the colonialism. And then virtually, besides the Philippines, and a little slice of Guantanamo Bay, U.S. has not really been an empire building beyond economic power, obviously military power. And yet, when we go overseas, all we ask for is ground to bury our fallen. We don't take it, and for the most part, that's sure Americans, it's been twisted now, that's not what we do. But, you know, we have concessions that, you know, before Biden administration, Obama did the same thing, they released $400 million. You know, cargo plane for four American is Iranian American hostages have been held in Evan prison. And the same thing. So this notion, you know, U.S. foreign policy towards hostage terrorism, everyone presumed was we don't negotiate with terrorists. And the reality is, I'm being honest, even Reagan, who's famously taken that position, and he's played statements to that effect. But even Reagan was negotiating arms deals with Iran Contra. So no one is immune from this, but you do it in the shadows. You don't publicly announce your transfer, and you don't transfer $400 million for God's sex much less, $6 billion. So, you know, the irony is, you know, this has just been coming out from a dear friend of mine, who you guys need to get on your show, Sarah McAdams, former CIA target or analyst, she's brilliant. And her partner, who was one of the the GRS guys, Boone in the movie, that one guy that I think had the best quotes in the movie, frankly. And I have no Boone now, and Boone's a matter of few words. But when he, when Boone talks, you listen. And Boone, a remarkable human being, just like Sarah, and they lived together here, and they're in Florida, they're like palm heart, I believe. And I'll hook you guys up, because Sarah can go into the stuff. And she just revealed on a podcast with Sean Ryan about a month ago, the US is flying in a plane load of cash every month into into Kabul. And it's $2,380 million. And that money is going to the, the, the Taliban that died, it's going to their families. And they got that. Wow. They do nothing for the family's smartphone. You've got a new 20 year retirement, or you get your via disability check. But the average veteran who serves, that doesn't have a via disability or doesn't get full retirement. Guess what? They do their four years of service, might have gotten shot, might have, you know, might have been wounded, sort of last buddies, they're going to get nothing for the rest of their life unless, you know, maybe they have a via disability. But we US taxpayers are funding this terrorism, both. It's all available. We know there's a lot of Jihadi groups that have returned to training camps in Tehran. Sarah talked about that. It's just our foreign policy is so upside down. And it's, you know, a lot of veterans, you know, especially the Iraq, the Afghanistan veterans, 20 years, 10 trillion spent we have nothing to show for it. Nothing. And no, the way we exited Afghanistan three years ago, literally last this month, I mean, 26, 12, the bond went off the 26. We actually left the fish, I think on the 30th, but yeah, as I call it, you know, packs Americana, let's go back real quick history. You know, the Roman piece, Pax Romano stands means Roman peace. And well, no, but the last 11 or 12 years, Rome did it was an ascended power until probably the sixth, seventh century. But when they became so dominant, and they pushed out to all the known world at the time, all the way to England, all Northern Northern Europe, Southern Mediterranean, you know, touching, you know, a lot of what is now modern day Iran, Rome was the dominant world power. They donated the med. And there was an era of 200 years of relative peace in the world, because no one could challenge the might of Rome, and they called it the Xramana, Roman peace. The only other empire that, you know, partly this was Pax Britannica when Britain ruled the seven seas, like 1775 Queen Victoria was about 1945. England had the dominant sea power and the quote, son never set on the British Empire. 1945 until recently, the US was that dominant power. Now there was an era of bipolarity with with the giant Soviet empire, obviously, but the Soviet empire economically collapsed, proven to be a fallen system. They've come back to a certain extent on a Putin, but their economic system was proven to be, cannot compete with capitalism. Yet now you look at this, look at our country. We pulled out of Afghanistan. And I can say this as a veteran. I can say this as a history, you know, I studied history in college, and I need to write this book one day. But when they go back and look at the end of Pax Americana, because every history has that date and time, a battle or some incident where England Rome fell, and I'll quickly have it go back to Rome. The height of the Roman power was in a Maximus Aurelius, Marcus Aurelius. I have a book right here of meditations. Everyone who doesn't have it, get a copy of this and try and read this daily. But Marcus Aurelius was in his 70s, fighting the geranic tribes, pushing the expansive Rome. You look back, go to the movie Gladiator. You know, Hollywood always bucks up history. They never get a general for one battle and throw them in because that's your story. Well, it's really us was truly as depicted was an old man fighting the Germanic tribes, pushing the expansive Roman. He was a stoic philosopher, trained by Greeks. He ruled for the betterment of Rome. Marcus was not about himself. He was about improving Rome. And he constantly had this inward look at himself every day about how do I make myself a better man. Ultimately, as in the movie, in true life, his son, his leadership was passed on to Komenus, right? And portrayed by walking Phoenix. And if you look at the true, the real Komenus in real history, he makes the character portrayed by walking feet at Phoenix seem rational by comparison. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Komenus did fight in the Colosseum. He put tons of resources into the, you know, he spent the national treasure on the gladiator games to keep the crowd views. Well, Rome on the outside was falling. And because Komenus made a deal with the Germanic tribes, the very tribes his father had been fighting, he made a deal to basically have a truce with them that ultimately, honey, years later, the very tribes that Komenus made concessions to, like we just done, you know, they fell. Rome fell by those very tribes. And what did Reagan say? And again, we are one generation away from losing this thing. And frankly, and I speak with my, my, my veteran peers all the time, you know, the signs are there. And it's very important because we have an avowed Marxist whose father was in a talk Marxism. She's been repainted. I mean, a month and a half ago, Kamala Harris was first Vice President in history. Nothing. I mean, one thing we can even put to her was that she was the borders are now media saying she never was the borders on it's so scary because the American public, not your audience, and not a lot of podcast audience out there who want the truth, not the minute sound like you get on CNN, they want to listen to an hour, sometimes a six hour podcast to get the truth is out there. And that's the beauty of, you know, what you guys are doing with this show and the series getting yourself out. But, but that's the challenge. And I know I've gotten way off. Oh, no, absolutely not. To the Israeli hostages that were just executed. Hamas executed one of their aces in the hole. One of the, I've heard there's four remaining Americans. I've heard seven. So I don't know what the exact number is. They just killed one of the aces. Why would they do that? Because they have no respect. And what did we do in the United States? Our president just said, put the pressure on Netanyahu. And this is the crazy world we're in. The funerals. And again, my heart goes out to those families. You have to understand. I took every kidnapping case in Iraq personally. I didn't just go after the kidnapper is targeting Americans or Brits or, you know, Europeans. I hunted, I spent more time talking to rocky families who had someone taken hostage. Just the ideology, the ideology and the evil of that mindset that we're dealing with. And you've got huge crowds in Israel putting huge pressure on Netanyahu. And it breaks my heart because they think that making concessions is somehow going to bring the rest of these hostages home. Yeah. And I hate to say this and it's hard to do, especially when you're doing a news interview on even Fox. To say, in my mindset, when there was someone taking hostage, especially an American, I just had to start from the calculus. Okay, that person, that person's going to get killed and we're going to see a video in the next couple of days. I had to start from that operating mindset, because to get that, that hostage back. Now, there are forces that can do it. There's only the US has the capability. The UK, Israel, obviously does, but not a whole lot of the nations around the world have the legs and can go pull off these very delicate missions. But at the end of the day, Netanyahu is trying to basically eradicate an existential threat. And the only way you do that is to root out Hamas. And the sad part is you take, you know, go to any of the point, the overwhelming majority of dozens are overwhelmingly in support of Hamas. And this see, you know, they will never be peace in the Middle East. Yes, correct. I mean, that's the bottom line, right? And that's what we think. They're just no matter what. Well, there won't be a piece until they're eradicated. If Israel leaves, they'll be peace. Right. Yeah, not even then. It was in Tehran. They have an apocalyptic vision. And I'm not a Shia scholar, so I'm not, you know, don't have your viewers. But I've spent 20 odd years in the Middle East. I spent a lot of time studying my enemy, if you will. And they believe that the end of Israel, a mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv means the return of the mighty, the 12th mighty, which lived times. That's why they have, that's why they are suicide bombers. They live for this. They live to die. And, you know, I've had conversations with, you know, my Iraqi and Afghan, you know, interpreters and peers and partners and, you know, they, they have a apocalyptic vision of what the future is, which is why they're willing to die. And if you think about him in reality, and I had this conversation with one of my interpreters and Baghdad, he was so, you know, he was a good, he was a college educated kid. He just finished college, young kid, not experienced in the world. Still, it was a virgin. I knew I just, you can, I could tell by talking to the kid. And we got to this whole conversation about the concept of being a good Muslim. And he was trying to tell me that there's a hotties that kill people. They're not good Muslims. You know, they don't understand the true meaning of how you're supposed to live. And he said, if you're a good Muslim and you die, you get 72 versions. And he starts describing me how wonderful this experience is going to be. And I got a virgin telling me how great it is to make love to 72 women. And I'm looking like, yeah, you'd be lucky, you know, too many three in a week, brother, not, not one. And the irony of it, he literally said to me, and you know, the best part, Mr. Danny said, the best part is when you wake up the next morning, they're virgins again, meaning they're pure in their chest, right? Because they have this whole concept about, you know, virginity and all the rest, you know, and I'm Catholics. I get the whole ideology about, you know, marriage on the rest, and the senate bill turn all the rest of that. But he literally said to me, the best part is that their virgins again in the morning. And I literally said to him, I said, Holly, I mean, see, they didn't learn anything from the night before, and you got to teach them all over again. I go, you see, I go, I wouldn't want to say you two versions. I'd take three pros, but not seven. I know. And he laughed, he got embarrassed. I was making a joke. Sure. And he was a good kid. But but you got to understand something that, you know, they, they take the religion very seriously. And, and that she is in Sudanese, you know, that's the real enemy. The real enemy is between the shoe and Sunni and Shia fight. And the reason Hamas and Hezbollah and support and Iran funny know this with our money, by the way, did this is that Israel is on the verge of an historic piece of cords that were about to be signed between Israel and another of the, you know, Sunni led nations quoting Saudi. And I think way, and that's why Iran had to do this to foment that because if, if all this Sunni led nations and Shia, Iran is the only Shia major country that has she is Shia leadership, if you will, that's largely why they did the October 7th attack is they needed to foment this discontent in the region and make sure that no fellow Arab nation would align themselves with Israel. They have, they have a longer, bigger vision for this. And it's, it's wow. Wow. So with the, and I know you've got to go here pretty soon, but with the the administration, you mentioned it. Dale, I've talked about it many times. We're not experts by any stretch. We, we hear from people like you, who are the experts who've been there who know this. We don't, we think this entire administration is DEI. We think the entire administration is DEI. So I've seen no hope that this group is going to be able to help Netanyahu and Israel get it figured out over there what needs to happen. And in my opinion, the more they talk, the harder it is for Israel to carry out what they need to do because they know that Israel's most powerful ally. Are we really with them? Yeah, we're not, we're not with them, unfortunately. I mean, the fact that we're allowing these protests to go unhinged and to desecrate federal monuments all over this country. I mean, it's unbelievable, isn't it? It's, it has a veteran to watch what happens. Yeah. And you know, I'm, I have a bunch of New York City firefighter buddies, and I didn't know any New York City firefighters before 9/11. But every time I go to New York City, I have a circle of friends of cops and firefighters. And I, you know, I don't get a, I don't pay for anything. I can't pay for a beer. I can't pay for a steak dinner. But I hear their stories. And I have a very close friend who just retired. He wasn't, he was a pretty much a new guy, probably almost to 9/11. I've been in the department maybe a year, maybe a year and a half. And he ended up rising up to the ranks and their special operations. The guys, he's amazing. He's, what I love about it is my good friends and my personal heroes, including these firefighters. And he just is, he just moved to Florida. Like everyone else, he just retired. I was down in 40s and now we're south of me. We just hung out a weekend or two ago. And what he shared with me as a, as on behalf of his, the firefighters in New York City, they said to see these kids marching through New York City, Columbia University, New York University, waving these gauze and these Hamas, he goes, it's the equivalent of seeing someone waving an alcata flag in New York. And it is because there is no difference in the ideology between, very little difference between the ideology between Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, alcata, all the same. It is destruction of the West. So wipe out views up the face of the Earth and to establish a caliphate, either Shia or Sunni. And that means you and I are going to submit. And if you look at England, you know, the riots, they just were having this, this past summer, you have whole-scale neighborhoods. There are neighborhoods in the UK that are more dangerous than Baghdad or Iraq. And it's, it's, you know, it's, you've got guys in England going to go into jail for posting means. Yes. How crazy are we living in the world? We're living in. How far are we away here from that, commander? I mean, it's, you know, you take a look at a city like Minneapolis or, or the, you know, that kind of demographic. I don't think we're that far away from that happening right here. If not, almost there now, you know. Well, but to your point, we just appointed the Democrats, just appointed, a guy who's been in China 30 times. That's right. In regards to regard, quote, to man Sergeant Majors, he calls himself without those duties. In fact, banning his battalion. It's not getting to that today, but there's no question. And then the stories are coming out about all the men that basically call, is calling while it's out for what he is. But not that he's just a coward. That's been pretty evident. He did not call out the National Guard when Minneapolis was being destroyed. He was a 24-year veteran of the National Guard. And his comment was, he defended his decision by saying, well, the National Guard, they're just a bunch of cooks. That's what he said. So he let Minneapolis burn. And now the Democratic Party thinks he should be the second one heart breed away from the presidency. Along with the worst vice president ever. Well, you know, you saw him yesterday, tried. He was asked about the six hostages being murdered at the county fair. He walked away. He walked away. I mean, I'm like, again, bizarre world, the fact that, and guys, let's be honest, Kamala, she could win this thing. I know. The way the media has now painted her, again, a month and a half, two months ago, worst vice president in history, no achievements, famous for her lap more than the else and word salads. That's what she was famous for. And she spun this whole, I mean, I get lots of DNC convention. I saw the highlights. Her whole campaign strategy is now joy. I mean, it's like when Obama, remember the hope posters for Obama, the famous picture of Obama kind of like, it was, who was the, oh my god, Andy Warhol, sorry, remember the, it wasn't Andy Warhol, but remember Andy Warhol was famous for painting certain things. But that one artist did the hope picture of Obama. And largely, hope was the theme of his administration that got him elected. If you think about it, hope, right? Because hope, well, now Kamala is using the word joy, joy, joy is now her strategy. And I'll just quote, I think it was Gates again, who said, hope is not a strategy. And under Obama, when the Chimpok girls were kidnapped, the 400, 500 girls in Kenya, where was in Africa? Nigeria, sorry. They were putting up these signs. You know, Michelle Obama's holding a sign, let the girls go, free the girls, free the children. And I'm watching going, you think this is having any curry or favor? I mean, it's, it's again, the democratic Democrats, just not willing to look at the world for what the world is, because they have this, this hopey, joyous view of the world, it's just, it's utter nonsense. And I'm sorry, you know, we are dealing with the end of American dominance in the world. Pax Americana ended three years ago this month. And now we're seeing the results of it, because no one respects us. And we've had, you know, Houthi, Houthi rebels are firing rocket ships at US war vessels, US flag vessels. You know, this is just, we're not intimidated in one these days. And yes, we've gone, diversity, equity, inclusion did not earn it. However, you wanted your definition, I call it DIE as in die, because we're dying on the vine. Yeah, US military. I mean, I'm sad to report, you know, my, I graduated from anapolis 30, I 34 years ago, 35. Then back a couple times, the last two years I've spoken at the academy, to the midship and for what's called dining in or dining outside the company party. And I was the guest speaker. And I got us on the day with the meds. And I tell you, it breaks my heart because the meds are no different. Those 18 year old kids that show up in an Athens and West Point and Air Force Academy, they want us to go serve their country. But the administration and leadership has embraced this wokeness that it's infected it. And plea beer is doesn't last nine months. You know, if these kids are not, and when I talk to them, the midshipmen, and I tell them what it was like when I was there, they look at me like, they, they look embarrassed because they realize they admit to me. Yeah, it wasn't that tough. It wasn't hard. I'm a seal who went to Ranger School. Yeah, it asks, what's the hardest military training ever did? And I go, I survived plea beer at the Naval Academy in the early days. And it because it was nine months. It was brutal. Every day was stressful. Every moment you woke up to the moment you put your head down, constant pressure, constant stress. But I love it because obviously it made everything, not saying buds was easy because it wasn't. But you know, I didn't have to do a differential equation in bud training. I do, you know, a double E exam back with a mechanical engineering, you know, whatever, quiz or some craziness, which, you know, but it's, and I think it's proven in that, you know, look around the cabinet, everyone in the administration was chosen, not by their merit, not by a meritocracy, no qualifications, check in a box, their gender. And even more importantly, their ideology and they keep pushing in your face. I mean, by hearing, I came pronounce your name that the Keon Peter or whatever, yeah, Jean, she just keeps thinking she's the most historic press secretary in the history and cannot ever answer a question. Never, not a once answer a hard question. Yep. And, you know, I mean, and they get asked the obvious, but why won't vice president Kamahara come out and do a press conference conference without a, you know, a swim buddy without, you know, and again, I'm so under impressed with waltz. Oh, yeah. The more you like, you know, this. Yeah. So again, I'm fearful what's headed in the future because it's, it's, yeah, it's, it's terrible. Um, yeah, that's this, I don't know if you've got to run. So I know we've gone over a little bit on your end. So you tell me, if you've got to get out of there, I do got to get this appointment, and I got to drop a pink peak. But guys, listen, let's do this again. And frankly, yeah, can we? If you want, um, you know, we can do a deeper dive into hostage terrorism. I have a PowerPoint. I can knock it down to probably 10 slides and just if you can put slides, shares, I'm sure you can check it out. So lute. Yeah, you share them with us. We can put them up. Yeah. I would let's do another longer session and really get to the core because, you know, this hostage terrorism has been around for a long time. And, you know, as I always say about the Middle East, um, uh, everyone says, you know, prostitution is the oldest profession in the world. In the Middle East, it's kidnapping. Yeah. And that's how they found brides. I mean, they get, they, you know, they got more camels, they got more horses, eventually, they got brides that way. But kidnapping has been around since the dawn of time, and it's a bit, right? And, uh, if you will. And, uh, but now, you know, and I, as, as I always say, kidnapping is how terrorist organizations, it's how they negotiate with the West. Yes. We're not holding any cards anymore. We're, we have it. We don't have any face cards. We have, we have twos and fours and, you know, we are, we're out of luck and, you know, hell, an American was executed over the weekend. You didn't even get a statement from the president who was on. No, you got a nice photo photo op of, of them in the situation room. Yeah, we have, we have a video list. We have a video to show later of him walking out. Yeah, it's unbelievable. It's an embarrassment, absolute embarrassment. Commander, thank you so much, man. As always. Sorry about again. You are always welcome. You are always welcome. Yeah, always, always. It's an open invitation for you. I'll stay tuned to the news guys. I call us and, um, you know, I, I, we've got a very important election. Yes. Friends, your family. I mean, I know Ford is, thank God has gone red. We have the best governor. I, the Sanis needs to be a presidential candidate. I, I think he, uh, I had a tremendous respect for the Sanis and, um, he's been a remarkable governor, but, you know, we do have some future leadership that can get this country on the right half, but correct. This nonsense we currently have in, and, uh, you know, diversity, inclusion, and equity. Yeah. What they need to stand for, we're dying because of it. Yeah. Well, the good news is we have another major business that's getting rid of it. So, yeah, of course, another business. I mean, it's, it's all coming out and the more and more, but it's going to take votes. We're going to have to vote, uh, in a way where it can't be rigged, right? So you just got to get out and vote. It's not important. I mean, I get my, I get my boss busted because I go on CNN. Yeah. I go on all the networks. I don't care. Doesn't matter. Then we see, I've never turned down an interview, um, because I feel I have a moral and obligation to tell the, I speak the truth. Yeah. If you be honest, they keep going. They ask me to come back. So, yeah. And I, I've had some zingers in the past with, uh, you know, on, on some of the networks, uh, but, uh, you know, as long as they're willing to hear unborn is truth and, uh, about the reality of what we're dealing with with what I call hostage terrorism. Yeah. And I will, I will share the message and, uh, and you know, your audience are like minded. I'm, you know, unsure, but, uh, you know, everyone needs to hear this because the only way you change minds is going the enemy's battle space and you correct and have a conversation. That's right. That's right. But stick to this. But have that conversation. Yeah. Correct. Correct. Commander. Thank you. We'll, uh, we'll let you go. We appreciate your time. Thank you very much. We will be in touch and we will, uh, we will do a full show, uh, and, and make sure that that happens whenever you've got time. We'll reach out and make sure we, uh, set up a date for that. All right. I think you're the best. Thank you, man. Appreciate it, my friend. It's been an honor. Yeah. Take care guys. You too. Um, my, well, I mean, yeah, if you hate the truth, you won't like Daniel Shea. What did you think about money being flown in? Mm hmm. What Kabul. Yeah. Mm hmm. To give money to the Taliban fighters' families that died. I, I, it's the first I've heard of that. It doesn't surprise me, obviously. That's the first I heard of it. Yeah. And I believe Sarah McAdams will can fill us in a lot more. So I'm going to, we're going to, we're going to hold the commander up to that. I wrote it down too. I'm like, that is a person we will get on this show because that's important. I was shocked. Yeah. The whole time, and here we are going to an event this weekend, the Warrior Shield Foundation and the Warrior Fest where it's, it's organizations. It's nonprofits like them that have to take care of our homeless vets. Well, you know, bigger scale, you've got tunnels to towers. You've got, you do, you've got bigger scales, but they do the same thing. They, they help our veterans. They, I just think this house is great. It's just anyway, so let's play the commercial. Yeah. Yeah. Let's do that. Let me, let me get to that real quick here. Yeah. I'll make sure we do that. And then we'll be back and well, hopefully I'll be back. I was in and out the whole fricking time there. We'll get into that. Here's great gear lock in love. Be right back.

I'm buying some shirts at the event this weekend. Oh, me too. Yeah, me too. So again, yeah, again, we will be broadcasting live Friday and Saturday from the beautiful Rosen Center in sunny Orlando, Florida, or potentially heavy down toward Orlando Florida. But at any rate, we'll be indoors. We'll be at the event for the Warrior Shield Foundation. You go to www.warriorshield.org, and you can learn more about it. You can get tickets for the concert, and I think for the gala still, they're still available there.

So you go to www.warriorshield.org, and you donate, and you can bid on some items there if you want. We miss our producer today, Buckeye, who is not here to pop up those comments for us, but so just remember www.warriorshield.org and then greekgarapparel.com, lock-and-load-coffee.com, where you get all this great stuff and great coffee, which Jim is drinking, by the way. Let's get into a little bit more about what's going on here. I want to play some videos here. So what I've noticed... Oh, I love it. Look at that. I like it. The pose, the slurping of your gums, slapping together with that delicious coffee. I don't imagine Rich is watching. He's probably busy on his way. Yeah, well, they're doing... They're all going down there. Obviously, I have the Sub-Zero mission. They've already pulled out their vehicles and are headed to Florida. It's going to be a great event. I can't wait. I'm very, very excited about it, and I'm assuming in a conference center with five billion other people, I will get better Wi-Fi still. Folks, listen, it counts Wi-Fi. I called them. While I didn't mean to be disrespectful, but at one point, I went away for a minute or two. I mean, I was gone. You went out of the studio. I went out of the studio. I backed out. I was done. It was over. But there was one good moment. When I was gone... When you left and your screen froze, you were like... I was? It was a great picture that was stuck there for like a minute. It was great. It was a great for you. Was it good for you, asshole? Well, while I was stuck like that, I texted my guy from Cox. I said, "This is effing bullshit." So, anyways, but it sounds like maybe the commander knows somebody who maybe hooked me up to help me with that. That was off air, and I appreciate it. Let's get into a couple of things, guys. Let's do it. We know you've been hanging on, and we thank, again, Commander O'Shea, the utmost respect for that man in that individual. When it comes? Absolutely the utmost respect. Negotiating res, he's the one you should listen to. Jake Tapper on CNN, or anyone like that. It's people like him. Sure, Rachel Maddow doesn't know more about hostage negotiations. AOC, he doesn't know. He thinks all these people coming in are seeking asylum. They are. That's what you think. Come through the right way, if you will. Folks, listen, good news. Kamala Harris is black. Yeah. We proved it in Detroit. She absolutely proved it in Detroit. Let's play Kamala Harris in Detroit. You ready, Jim? You better thank a union member. For the five-day work week. You better thank a union member for sick leave. You better thank a union member for paid leave. You better thank a union member for vacation time. Boy, I say boy, you better thank a union member. That was as better than what she did. It's insulting. It's insulting. It's insulting. You better listen up, boy. I'm going to tell you, you better thank a union member. I mean, when she's in the south, she has a southern accent. Here she is in Pittsburgh. Same speech. Ready? Thank unions for sick leave. Thank unions for paid family leave. Thank unions for your vacation time. Thank you for your high cost of your car. Thank unions for your, yeah. Did you notice the difference in accent? Yeah, I didn't. I mean, I was same speech, but placating to the crowd, she's the worst human being alive. She's scum. She's the worst. I think her running maybe might be worse. Who? Her running mate might be worse. Okay. Well, maybe. Yeah. Together. That is the worst pairing. And so don't, there's no, there's no way America votes these two. There's no effing way, Jim. They're fairly, fairly, no way. Well, Kamala, though, to her credit has always been black. We have the proof. Thanks, you know, two guys, one who has the proof that she has always been black. Here she is just a normal speech. Ain't no thing. Check it, glee, bro, was on. Didn't drip, but the folks was freaking man. Hey, the pilots were laid to the bone home. So blood hammering out in town, Jim, she taping that bad suckers had to run away like a mother. She was after me, her play. Whoever put that together. And if you're just listening, I don't know why, because you don't get to see our beautiful mugs. But if you're just listening, it was Kamala, obviously, the voice over with. Oh, God, if we don't laugh, Jim, like you've said it 100 times, how many times do we have to stress this? Yeah, less than a year ago. She was the worst vice president in the less than three months ago. And now they're trying to convince us that she is going, she's the second Messiah, Jim. She's Obama, Jr. And make no mistake, folks, we know her policies. There's, you know, don't sit there and watch the policy. Oh, I'm for fracking. I'm for the fraction is learn her policies, not from what CNN's telling you, learn her policy. And because folks, it is not good. It's bad for the US. It is not. Do you want to see where Kamala grew up in the hood? You want to see a good? Yeah, let's take a look at our hood here. Yeah. Moving on up, moving on up. You need to unmute your mic, buddy. Yeah, I was I was unmuted during the thing, wasn't I? Nope. That was muted. You were you were muted. I clicked on mute. What happened? I don't know. And I still in my wife, have you noticed since interviews over my wife has been absolutely spot on? Yeah, spot on. Yeah, but you know, we all we all, you know, grew up in, you know, areas like that. Mm hmm. Yeah, we're all part we all grew up like that low, low, low poverty, stricken, Montreal, Canada. That was her neighborhood where she grew up. Yeah, spent her, I think, junior, like junior high school, high school, I think she spent a long, quite a long, long time in social is Canada. So, um, yeah, she is a citizen, right? We're not going down that path, are we? I mean, you know, I trust me if she wasn't, this would have been out. So it not like Obama or it was a handwritten. I'm from here. I'm here with good farmers when, when, handed them a 25 on a note, I am 12. I'm 12. I'm here. I am. I'm from here. That's all she wrote on it. Uh, Jim, I know you have some things to talk about. I do want to talk though, or show this, this, this embarrassment, uh, Biden yesterday, sitting at this baby desk in this makeshift White House room. Um, and then the reporters just simply yelling, no, why they're even bothering, why anybody's even showing up to a Biden thing, regardless at this point, he's a nobody. He's a nothing. Yeah, he's done. They pushed him out. He's, he's useless, unlike he's been for 49 years, but this is, uh, this, why even do this? But they had a press conference and of course, reporters wanted to ask him about the six hostages that were killed and the American hostage that was killed at the, like mentioned, took a nice photo off of them in the situation room after. Um, here's what he did. It's hard to watch. It's a minute. It's hard to watch us. They got protects. It's hard to watch. President Biden. We're coming this way. We're coming this way. We're working this way, we're working this way again. Here I go. We've got to get out of here. Emily, we're moving that way. We've got to go. We've got to thank you for being thank you for that. President Biden, do you support for this IVF repair? There's his handler. Have to remove him. Free IVF repair is to support that proposal. President Biden. >> If you didn't know any better, you would think somebody did that on purpose. >> You would think in the crowd but they added the crowd. >> Yeah, you would think so. But no, that really happened. That's what happened. Look, it's just a walking dead this guy. You know, absolutely an embarrassment. But what's with the little baby debt? Where did they hold this? What was the purpose of it? >> Look, he hasn't been running the country since he. >> Of course not, too. >> Right, and we know that and Kamala's not going to run it either. There's no way in hell. They only are using her because they need that money in the coffers. That's it. >> That's it. >> The only reason she's in there. >> Yeah, because otherwise they couldn't take that money and give it to anybody. So she was installed, like we know. But it's just an embarrassment. The whole situation is an embarrassment. And American hostage, American Israeli hostage died. God can't answer the question. Kamala has not come out and answered the question. All they said was Netanyahu has to do more. Do more. Annihilate the whole area then. That's what he has to do. >> You know, for future- >> I'm so sorry to get tired of this bullshit. For future interviews on CNN, MSNBC, all these others, I challenge, I know they're not watching, but we can forward this to them. I challenge the reporters to do this. When you are talking to them and you talk about the Iran's, our Israel situation with Hamas and Iran and because it is Iran, it's over there. And I challenge them by saying how much of the $6 billion that you and President Biden gave back to Iran, do you think it's funneling back in to fight against Israel? How much of that do you really believe is there? Those are the type of questions you need to ask. >> Yeah, correct. >> She had for dinner today. >> I know. >> What did you have for dinner yesterday? >> Mm-hmm. >> You know, it's ridiculous. And to give you another idea, how many times do we have to hear her and her favorite people on the left protect democracy from Trump? Protect democracy from Trump? Do you remember ex-Clinton official Robert Reich? I think you're frozen. But he wants Elon Musk investigated and possibly arrested for his, what he is doing with social media, like giving people free's voice, letting us speak, letting fair speak go around. You can talk either way, if you're on the left, you can speak, if you're on the right, you can speak. He's allowing it. But they don't like it because President Trump is allowed on X. We are allowed on X, so our opinions. So this is an individual who thinks he should be jailed. They think he should be jailed. And now, Elon Musk and RFK came out with in 2019, a resurfaced video that shows Kamala saying that government needs to have oversight and regulation on social media, except for Facebook, of course, except for TikTok, you know, except for YouTube. And it's, are you back? >> Thanks a lot. >> Yeah, you're kind of cutting in and out. But so what do you think about that where, you know, we are a threat to democracy. President Trump is a threat to democracy. Yet, we see these claims and now, ex-Clinton officials saying that we need to jail Elon Musk. But we're gonna let Zuckerberg go free when he actually admitted what he did. >> Yeah, of course, you might not be able to hear me, you might be in and out. I mean, obviously, that's the free speed. And she said it was a privilege. When it's a right, it's in our constitution. And she calls it a privilege, how much she doesn't know that. I'm betting this whole thing is it's crazy. Jim, do you have anything else today? >> Just as we talked about Molson, Coors Light, or Coors, is getting rid of DEI. >> Yep. >> And stay tuned. I want to get more information on this, but a former Democrat, Governor Hochl's aide is, I saw that, her husband are now under investigation for espionage, basically. >> Of course. >> Governor Hochl knew nothing about it. She fired her. >> Yeah, that's right. It's like, well, we didn't know. You know? >> So I don't know enough about it going to detail, but kind of pay attention to that. And real quick, Volkswagen may close German plants as cheap Chinese cars flood the European market. >> Wow. Wow. Volkswagen. Closing plants. G, who allowed that to happen over there, you know, when liberal leadership. Yep. >> China was being held at bay. >> Held at bay, folks. Now this. >> They're running rough shot. >> Yeah, they are. They are. It's unbelievable. Jim, let's remind everybody of these upcoming schedules. We don't have the times yet and we will post that on our Facebook groups and all that when we will be recording live, but it will be Friday, it will be Saturday this week. So mark your calendars, tell your friends, tell your family. We're going to bring you some heroes, some true American. The ones on the ground doing the hard work for our veterans and our first responders and our gold star families at the Warrior Fest this Friday and Saturday in Orlando, Florida. We will be there broadcasting live. Hope to bring you a lot of the behind the scenes, some interviews, definitely some interviews and some other information how you can help this organization. If you can attend and if you're in the central Florida area and you're listening to this, if you're within an hours drive of Orlando, there's no reason why you should not go to this event Friday night and Saturday. There's no reason why you shouldn't go. But if you can't supporting our troops, folks, it's supporting our veterans and supporting our veterans. That's right. Which I don't, we didn't play the Warrior Shield ad, did we? I think we should right now, just for your information folks and it'll tell you a little bit more about it if you're just joining us.

We bridge the gap by connecting warriors or their families with the assistance they deserve and require such as service dogs, wheelchairs, counseling, scholarships, and team-building retreats to name a few. You can help right now to make a difference for those who have helped and protected us all. Warrior Shield Foundation, selflessly doing for those who need it most. It's a long way to hold, but you won't take the hard road all alone. Just look to your left and look to your right, you were born to find it, you've got to light them up. Yeah folks, that's Warrior Shield.org. Please go there and support them. Jim, can I throw a couple of comments up here real quick. Let's see here to the Point Podcast. I know those fellows. I don't know if you do, but I've listened to them. I love their show. They are not on our network. We'd love to have them on our network, but keep up the great work guys appreciate the show. We appreciate you too. No matter what network or where you're at, you're conservative and you're getting a message out there. Go listen to them as well, they're great. Commander O'Shea said, that's how you're getting the real news out. That's right. You're right. And it's podcast. So. Yep, that's right. Despite you, whether you have good Wi-Fi or not, get it out there. You've got a whole lineup now. We do. We do. This one. This is about Biden. Dude was like, don't answer that. We're done. We have to move. And then this level of focus required to move his hand and pick up that cup of sad poor guys falling back, that's other than his normal health. Yeah. When he had to go do that, just a slow maneuvering of just to pick up what was probably an empty cup to begin with was a struggle. It is sad. And that's why they pushed him out of there and they knew it and he couldn't beat Trump. And now we've got the second coming of the Messiah and Kamala Harris. I mean, if that is the president, but I think she's going to be a good president. Great. She's learned her lessons. She switched. She's flopped. She's for fracking. She wants to build a wall. No, she wants to thank a labor member. No, no, she doesn't want to do any of that. She's going to destroy the union jobs. That's it's I mean, Volkswagen is closing plants because of China. You think that's not their plan here? India is selling China is selling their stuff at basically cost because they don't care. They don't care. They're going to take over the world. That's their point. They don't have to sell it at cost once all the plants and all the vehicles are stopped being made. Now they can dictate whatever price they want. You know, that's the whole plan. Give it away. Your first one's free. It's like a drug. You know, hey, your first one's free. Oh my God. I'm hooked. You know, you want that bump a coke that now it's going to cost you a lot of, I don't know the terminology bump a coke. I don't know. I'm just guessing that's how it is, but you know, idea. Jim. Okay. People don't know, Jim's still a virgin, so I mean touched for the very first time. I'm not singing it. You and Madonna folks listen again. Thank you for joining us. We appreciate everybody. You know, look at this. It doesn't surprise people that I think sex symbol, pop star on somebody who loves me. Who likes it? And you know, really? Yeah. I mean, I questioned your judgment, but hey, oh, I'm breaking up again. So am I gone again? No. Am I here? I'm going to end this before we are. Folks. I'm going to say, yeah, you're gone. So you do something stupid. I know. I'm going to know you'll hear me swearing like I'll be like, God, why, like, I'll be. Hey, make podcast gold brother, like I said, we'll do a shout out for Friday and Saturday Saturday. Saturday, it might go a little longer depending on what we're doing because we want to kind of make it kind of like a telephone. You know, call, please donate. Go online, donate to the class, even if it's $5, folks, just donate money, help it out. $5. Any amount of money helps, so you're clothing veterans, homeless veterans, you're helping them find the resources they need. Plus you're helping them. If they need wheelchairs, if they need service animals, it's just, you know, say it all the time. I mean, it's just like nobody should be homeless in our country. We get that. There are people that choose to be. We've seen those, but those don't, and especially the ones that serve our country. I mean, for God's sakes, and especially what the commander said about money going to the families of terrorists who died, being funded by you, me, and the rest of the taxpayers in this country. So as of right now, Jim and I are going to never pay taxes again. Will you go on record? Jim is saying never again, never again, never again. And where do you go? Are we going to refuse to buy groceries because it's taxed? Are we going to refuse? I'm going to steal my groceries. You can't. Yeah. Anywhere in California, you can't make up what is it less than $700? I think 900. So I'm going to steal that $899 big screen TV. Me too. That's it. Carry it on out to the water. Don't worry about that. It's $899 before tax, because you're not paying tax anyway. You're just taking all those idiot Democrats out there that think, oh, they just can't afford it. When you go to buy that TV, it's going to be $1,200 because businesses have to make money whether you guys think they should or not have to make money. And they have to increase their security forces up there. So folks, stay tuned this week and Friday and Saturday. We will be live in Orlando. Jim, that is it. Thank you again. Andrew O'Shea, always an honor to speak with him. We can't wait until he comes back. He's phenomenal. Love that guy. And folks, we'll see you all on Friday now. Yeah. Jim. Safe travels. Goodbye. See you in Orlando, brother. Bye. Yeah. Bye. [MUSIC PLAYING] Two voices rage, light against the tide, system breaks, rules fake, luck in the crowd, truth has deep, weary in the noise, left hand deals, wise kiss, I hold the choice. No more change, break free from the fight, as clear now, vision in the dark, we stand up, never bow to the mark, we are the storm, we are the fight, two guys, one, two, three in light, no more lies, no more games, stand tall and true, break the chains. They spin and scream, push farts in the dark, get me fries, never crumble in the park, fade our faces with colors bright, march ahead in the dead of night, shadowed dreams won't silence us now, left and right, next boy is in the bow, but we see through.
