I Came With Fire
"Are We The Bad Guys?" with Adam DeRito
What is up everybody welcome back to I came a fire podcast tonight. We are here with Adam Hotmail Dorito The good dude's got the oldest email address I've ever seen but it is cool as fuck nonetheless Adam How are you bro? Thanks for bringing me on the show guys? I really appreciate the invite and it's always a pleasure You know talking about the issues in my story, so Okay, I'm in So yeah, I mean why don't we just give everybody like a quick synopsis on your background that we kind of talk about why you are How you saw his favorite kid it sure so my name is Adam Dorito I was born in Poughkeepsie, New York grew up and graduated high school in Westmore, New Jersey I got accepted to the Air Force Academy class of 2010 So I moved to Colorado in 2006 when I was 18 a couple years after 9/11 happened and Wanted to be a fighter pilot that was always my dream So that was my goal and ended up having a really bad experience when I was there I was sexually salted raped and drugged at a party and Became that I became an undercover informant for the Air Force Office of Special Investigations taking down rapists and pedophiles mostly on the football team the NCAA Division 1 team out there and As a result of getting involved in those investigations One month after graduation, I was not awarded my degree or my commission and I was kicked to the curb and kicked out of the military With an article 15 for a fratenerization because of investigating lowerclassmen, right? So I had to find myself had to start my whole life over again. I didn't know what to do I had no money. They took everything from me and Ended up going into the oil and gas industry. So I went back to college finished my undergrad finished a master's degree Became a wire line engineer and eventually and traveled all around the country drilling oil wells working on the rigs blowing stuff up and then I found out that I'm like well dod when you grow to a military Academy West Point in Apple's Air Force You owe them five years back to duty service and since they've refused to let me serve that out They put two hundred and eighty six thousand dollars on my credit report and destroyed me financially So I was like I need to find a way to get back in so I went to every single recruiter I could I said I don't care if I'm scrubbing toilets as an e1 I need to get this time paid back because I can't afford this they were Garnishing my wages and destroying me and no one would take me because my DD 2014 was signed by the Chief of Staff at the Air Force So they were just like we don't know you pissed off, but we're not touching this So not a lot more high or ranking people than that. Yeah, so I Got really lucky it was on a whim and I went into the National Guards Office as a joke and They found a loophole Because the governor of the state is the commander-in-chief not the president So federal state rules are different. So they were able to override my DD 2014 without a waiver But there was three conditions that I had to do one I was gonna have to go back into basic training and I was 27 years old at the time I Had to serve enlisted and the highest rank They would put me in as even with a master's degree was e4 specialist And I had to go and I had to join a special operations unit to prove myself So there was only there's only two special forces attachments in the National Guard. That's 19th group and 20th group So I went into the forward support company 19 special forces group as a special forces parachute rigger And I did that job for two years did a great job, you know whole nine yards nothing no issues Then I'm like I'm gonna try this one more time. I'm gonna try to commission So I got accepted into the Apache pilot program out of the Utah National Guard And I was leaving for Fort Rucker, which I don't know what they changed the fucking name to it You know all the wokenings So I was getting ready to go and I get to my last clearing station at Fort Carson They're like hey man, we can't let you go and I'm like why they said well There's seven major psychological conditions on your medical records. I'm like, what are you talking about? I went through MEPS I've been in the Army for two years now like special operations security clearance on my yards They put like I had schizophrenia bipolar disorder like all this crazy shit So that prevents you from commissioning or touching anything So the army is not aware of this and it's not even on my army records So I couldn't go to flight school and then even though there was a shit ton of retaliation And I had gone through the Air Force Board of Corrections and military records like three times at this point My lawyers like you finally have black and white evidence on paper that you were retaliated against Because not only did they put false medical information They put that in your records one year when you were a civilian after you were discharged. It's not possible Why is the DoD man, why is the DoD accessing people's records when they're discharged? Now there's a reason there's a reason why we we'll talk about that later, but so we uh filed a federal lawsuit Got all the way up to the 10th district court of appeals, which is right below the supreme court And the judge refused to hear the case and dismissed it without prejudice, which means I can refile Stating that under parker versus leading the military is a separate society and should be treated as such And we are not going to tell the military what to do even though your constitutional rights were violated So It turned into this whole situation under uh at the end of trump's tenure with the doj the department of justice Susan proce and bishop grew well who are the attorney general's office representing the Air Force They hid and lied about everything in the case Uh, they they hid all this information from the judge. I wasn't allowed to get my jury trial And that's kind of where it stands right now because the only other two venues is going to the supreme court to overturn it Uh refile with the 10th district court, but you have to provide new evidence in order to do that You can't just refile the same case over again Which we'll get to that Or appeal to the president. So I did appeal to the president of the united states directly joe biden I was on denver seven news over it and joe biden pretty much told me I asked the ig inspector general about this they ran an investigation They said they did nothing wrong and that's the end of it. So the white house secretary defense and the secretary of the air force refused to fix my case So That's kind of where it went with that brain and uh, I got deployed in 2021 I went overseas with uh, so I detached from special forces for A year to get an active duty combat deployment So I just wanted the experience and I also want a more street cred on my my military records for my case So I went over originally as a truck driver 88 mic with a forward support company for highmars Highmars is the rocket artillery trucks and then when I went overseas, uh A bunch of people found out who I was And then they said hey man, uh, you work in oil and gas and you're an expert in this So we need you to do some information finding about Economic situations for oil and gas trading here in the middle east So I started doing that and then We tend to kernel nicy pretty much, uh, changed my entire life at this point because they made me an intelligence analyst and sent com So I was the only intelligence analyst Not certified as an intelligence analyst Reporting directly Reporting directly to the g2 because after they started reading my information They said this guy knows what the fuck he's talking about so I ended up working with fbi agents Um civil affairs other special operations throughout syria iraq jordan coa ua e and everywhere else And uh, I was the go-to guy for highmars and for, um, oil and gas intelligence briefs So I got a lot of credibility got a lot of awards over it. Uh, came back and Once again sent my stuff back to dud and said Obviously everything you said about me is wrong now. I have a stack of ribbons to prove it I got more ribbons as an e4 than most generals have so You know, let's fix this and then they uh said no We're not doing that, you know, you're a piece of shitty for that's what we said about you and it's true And so I decided it was a so I said fuck this I called my lobbyist So I've been working with some people in the background to try to legislatively fix my case Uh, because you know, you know, if onto the department of justice gone through the executive branch They won't do anything. I've done everything the right way board of corrections everything even though winning my board They still won't fix it. So I put on my dress blues paratrooper, uh, dress blues And I went to dc and started knocking on doors literally And when I did that, uh, the pentagon found out very quickly and they were very very angry with me Um But i'm walking through congress. What the fuck is this guy? Yeah, who the hell is this e4? They thought it was like some uh, there was a one-star air force general walking around and he's like specialist What are you doing here? I'm like just trying to fix our academy, sir Because I looked at his hand and he had a academy ring on and I lifted up my hand and shook mine at him And then he accused me of stolen valor. It was really funny Um, oh dude a general. That's fucking hilarious, man. So you do to him. I just laughed at him and said to have a good day, sir Um, I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of rank anymore. Uh, I've learned Uh, like I said my civilian job pays my bills. Not not the military, right? And uh, as a result of doing that though It started spreading my case around the halls of congress and realizing how corrupt their military is and It's amazing how much people in congress actually don't know what's really going on and that's that's by design And we'll we'll talk about how dc actually works. I I'm now very much inside the circle and how that actually works So people need to understand that he's in from that perspective And uh, we are now working on something called the dorito act and the dorito act is going to be a bill That hopefully we can pass some time with the nda or national defense authorization act that states It is illegal for the us military and its commanders to falsify a person's mental health records for reporting sexual salt rape Or misconduct, which is not illegal under the uniform code military justice and you would think And by making it illegal though. This is the big thing why i'm getting it thoughts against so much is because Directly in the bill it states these will be handled by a civilian Legal system They will not be handled within the ucmj because once it gets outside the ucmj and it's held to actual laws and standards They actually are going to be held accountable and that's why i'm getting so much pushback That's why if you do hashtag the dorito act on instagram now It's considered hate speech because the dod has been flagging my account and reporting it non-stop with all their henchmen. That's why um So that's kind of where i'm at politically You know with that kind of stuff but other than that, uh, i'm a homestead uh hobby farmer I'm a industrial wastewater expert at the local refinery um Man after you know been through a divorce in the military because she cheated on me So i've done all the things right like i've been around the block and done lots of stuff So I don't know i guess i said in a half minutes in bro, and this could be two books Like dead ass You're like You do and your force fumbled like he would have probably been Um, may i miss one i did get some backseat time in f16s when i was training and uh That's what i wanted to do my entire life, right? But i truly believe that everything happens for a reason and You know i've reconnected with my faith when i was on deployment even before i found out about the affair in my relationship Like when i went overseas i saw some Some crazy shit as an intel analyst like i've never been in direct combat, you know, thank god, but Um, when you work in intelligence, you really know what's going on And you know as a front line guy infantrymen that they're only You know, they only know what they're told they're sitting in their home view. They're sitting in the jail tv You know, they're told to move here go to this street do that, but i'm telling you like i can see everybody in five countries around you trying to kill you Right, so when you understand how the sausage is actually made in centcom and what's going on it's extremely disturbing Um And i guess backtrack a little bit i was actually involved in the afghanistan evacuations Uh one of my good friends from the air force academy who i graduated with was the first exchange student from afghanistan from the afghan air force And he he messaged me because he knew i worked with special operations and he said hey man Do you have any contacts and that's ironically a lot how that afghanistan evacuation worked It was who do you know what you know right and next thing i know i'm contacting my friends for a c17 pilots Uh we're on signal coordinating evacuations in the background and it went from getting not only his mom and his sisters out But we got 36 other people out and now they're in dc and and they're they're actual americans now So we saved some people and that was that's awesome. Yeah, that was a gut-runching experience I didn't sleep for like three weeks during that but um dude i i had a couple buddies here who um We're part of the contingency response group at uh my installation And um those guys were on fucking like google earth trying to tell people how to get around Fucking taliban checkpoints and shit just to get to whatever entry point they could get to try and get on a plane And they're just on the phone using what's app talking to some of these people Yep, and uh it just to me that's insane to think that all of that shit show began On 9/11 and then 20 years of g watt and then that's how it ended Like connecting those two i it is connecting those two ideas I've said that a few people recently actually like but Why are you so upset or why does that bother you so much the way the afghan evacuation when it's like Do you not understand that the whole reason we were there was because of 9/11? Do you not remember that? Do you not understand that's why the global war on terror started? That's how it ended just disgraced all those lives that we lost at 9/11 and all the lives and global war on terror And that's how it ended and I could see just people's minds just like oh my god. You're right. It's like how did you forget? You know Lost a good friend a good classmate captain matthew rollin. He was a special tactics officer He got killed in afghanistan on i think it was his eighth deployment and it was his last one before he went back to the schoolhouse to teach And he got killed on his last day in country and that was 2015 right when i rejoined the military and uh i took that personally You know because i lost and i'm sure just like the rest of you guys like i've lost i've lost like six friends over 20 years You know and uh yeah You know i'm thankful i didn't have to be personally involved in some of those combat operations because i think as you sit around and Drink enough whiskey over 15 years. You kind of realize the unethical things that were going on and Why we were really in afghanistan which actually has to do with opium and has nothing to do with fucking making that country a democracy And then you look at the opium crisis in the united states and all these other things right and it's just uh And now that i've working with congress and a lot of things you start seeing what's really going on Uh behind the scenes and these people come off as really stupid, but they're a lot smarter than you think right and at the end of the day That's why we need term limits because These people and it for themselves They don't you know some people really care like there's a lot of great guys like van orton and matt gates for sure by far Some of the my favorites out there, but uh it just takes people having these types of conversations on these types of podcasts that is going to ignite enough motivation within the american public to actually start demanding change and especially with the the inbreeding of woke culture into our society and stuff it's uh Now that i'm army old at 36 years old right it's getting to the point where the guy's coming up behind me Don't even know who Osama bin Laden is and like that's a problem They have they don't know what they're doing anymore They don't know why they're fighting I had an airman one time asked me why I had not gotten over 9/11 And it took about everything in my body not to smack her in the face for saying that to me I was like you don't you clearly don't understand which I can completely forgive because you were born in like 2002 you didn't watch it. You didn't live through it You didn't have like for me like I was my dad was stationed overseas immediately our entire lives changed He was an intel analyst who retired after 24 years. So he's gone a lot, you know, it's like You just don't understand which I can forgive But here we are in 2022 or whenever this was and you're asking me why i'm still not over it like we're still not out of it You know what I mean? Like this is no super ignorant thing to say and um I was just going to say about what you were saying in regards to uh, um Joe biden, you know rejecting your uh, request essentially like meanwhile you're over here Going through everything that you've gone through but we're pumping all this money into Ukraine and zalinski's buying land here in the united states You know, it's just like they can't deal with an e4 who is a quote-unquote problem and do right by him But we can give all this money to a foreign actor foreign president foreign country To essentially afford to be able to buy land here in the united states It's just a lot of priorities out of whack and it's it's just fucking sucks, man I don't have no idea how to fix it, but it's it's frustrating I think you're right that these conversations are important The funny thing is like it's so easy to fix like and in person like I lost family in 9/11 And I saw the towers collapse where I lived right so like when you see it When you see it takes a different context and reading about it in the history of book or watching the news, right like Uh, I live 40 minutes outside the city, but you can see the towers burning and falling from west milford and the hills in new jersey, right? My grandmother was in edgewater, New Jersey, which is right across the river from the george washington bridge, right? So It's just it's different when you see that type of stuff, right? It's it takes a different perspective on that, but i'm really glad you brought up Ukraine and stuff because It's way more complicated than people think like I was overseas when russia invaded Ukraine I knew what was actually going on behind the scenes and it is not what people think it is It is not and I don't want to sound like oh you support russia, but i'm like From a from a historical and tactical perspective Putin knows what he's doing. He's been he's been Present since 2000 and we can go back and talk about those things if you want but there's There's a there's a lot more going on in russia and there's a lot more going on and how that's connected to syria Directly in the middle east and people even understand so well That's just the thing man is russia has been the boogie man for the longest time And you can not be a fan of russia and also understand where the united states and nato has gone wrong and sort of created This environment where this is happening now, right? Absolutely, and the united states has done that for a long time you brought up opium in afghanistan I mean for christ sakes we were in viet non to protect french colonialism and what what was happening with the french there opium You know so there's there's always been an issue Uh with the united states putting its its hands into things and then changing the narrative about why we're there But um, I would like to hear the victors Yeah, but I mean even the movie we even the movie american gankster It even depicts about how the us military and its members are legally trafficking heroin from vietnam Like it's all connected man. Like and one thing I think people don't understand about the us military We don't Go around and do operations to save the world and institute democracy We only do things that benefit us economically and strategically, right? It's uh, if we really cared about people's freedom Then why didn't we go to rewanda during the genocide of 95 while millions of people were slaughtered because we don't care right about that stuff It has to benefit us and you know, we're definitely gonna have to talk about those things. So Yeah, no, absolutely um, you know, it's one of these things where I think people kind of It's a it's a dual edge sword because the united states has been for the the greater part of you know the my life obviously and and You know decades and decades past has been the hegemon of the world and I guess there is some sort of argument to be made about these are just the things Quote unquote that the hegemon of the world or the leader of the world is going to do to you know Remain in power and maintain its posterity But at the same time the united states and books all of these different ideals about upholding, you know, the truth and upholding Justice around the world sort of superman, right, you know truth justice in the american way and um A lot has come out since social media has become so prominent and learned about just kind of the real reasons behind why the united states has done Some of the things they've done And when you've been when you grew up in an environment, you know, like I know I did on military bases my whole life You know and all you hear about is how great the united states is and I'm not saying united states isn't great But we definitely we're talking about skeletons is the in the closet is exactly what we're talking about There's a lot and that's kind of why I like having these conversations because they need to get the boogie man out of the closet So you can talk about it, but um, I do want to hear about your time there when you were there when this kicked off I mean you're an expert on high-mars and that's that's one of those things that's going on there right now You know, so then being so against and I was so against saying them high-mars and they were like shut the fuck up you for Um, yeah, yeah, what was your what was your reason for so not wanting to send them high-mars? Well, let's just let's just start with how What what was going on when it happened right Sure, we were we were because I mean even though I was that responsible for sent common seria So seria was my main mission right so operation inherent resolve and operation spartan shield So inherent resolve is seria and iraq at the time it's changed now but and then spartan shield is Deterrence from iran and iranian aligned militia groups or imags as we called them Uh in order so they didn't tack our so-called allies right to protect And really what it comes down to is protecting the Strait of hormuz and ensuring that energy can be traded freely in the Persian Gulf and oil gets out because Most of the world gets their oil from the middle east right so The big the big issue is I'm a I'm a big proponent of historical Relevance right so one of the big things I did that was different than a lot of intelligence analysis overseas is when something would happen I'd give a background history of who this guy was or what this group was where they came from and everything else So I did a massive deep dive into Ukraine when it kicked off And it was kind of funny because if anyone watched the interview with tucker carlson and putin I'm like, oh, yeah, this guy's first 30 minutes was the exact speech I gave to my commander And they said I was a Russian sympathizer and I'm like, okay Just because our country is less than 300 years old doesn't mean that this is a lie I mean you got to understand for the most part who can give a thousand-year history off the cuff and everything he said was accurate It was not a lie, you know, they really still he He does. He's a very intelligent man. That's why he's talking scary. He knows his country. He knows his history And then I started deep diving into the specific units that we were seeing being produced on the border was the sdv They're airborne units, uh, everything else and how they were placing things and we even said like He's a hundred percent going to invade like we don't know when time wise, but it's definitely going to happen and The problem with Ukraine and there's a lot of problems with Ukraine and let's just we'll just start with 2000 Because 2000 is probably the most relevant time point is if anyone wants to know how Ukraine is going to end Just go to when putin was elected in 2000 when he completely destroyed the entire country to catch you Okay, so Chechnya and anyone who's been to afghanistan knows the scariest people you had to fight in afghanistan was the Chechen militia groups Uh who were working for as retired spats not skies, you know for the taliban, right? Uh, the only guys that my friend was ever terrified of in a hundred centimeter airborne overseas was Um, these Chechen dudes dressed in marine uniforms and just laying hate on convoys and killing a lot of americans Right, these guys know how to fight. They know how to use advanced technology and they're very good at training other guys They're basically they're equivalent to our green berets. They go and train other foreign groups to go fight and what putin did in Chechnya was Most of these satellite countries after the fall of you know the uss are Most of them still had installed the russian puppet governments, right? So even though we weren't technically part of the uss are anymore They were still have economic and military trade deals with all these satellite countries pretty much establishing the same things Just with less money and less influence, right? Chechnya is a very muslim country and they just didn't want any part with the eastern orthodox church Now most people don't understand this but the eastern orthodox church in russia pretty much runs the Excuse me runs the government. Uh, the bishop of the eastern orthodox church is one of poutins right-hand men Right, so they are very much in belief of conservatism Uh upholding your culture and Christianity and they believe and they use that as a guiding principle and a lot of their operations And rationed off for what they're doing. So their whole Anti-Nazi campaign and everything else is not actually a lie that is very true There's a thing about Ukraine that people don't like to talk about and that's the fact that in world war two Many Ukrainians were involved with the Gestapo and the Nazis executing Tens of thousands of Polish Jews and then burying them in Ukraine and making their bodies disappear And it wasn't until 2015 that they actually gave those Grapesides back to Poland. That's why Poland absolutely hates Ukraine. There's not a Polish person I know in New Jersey that likes Ukraine Okay Yeah, we've had a conversation on this podcast about pogroms and the programs that happened in Poland and they are 100 executed by Ukrainians and just you know eastern European people in general Yeah, but even the Russians themselves they call the Ukrainians kossacks I mean, it's basically Ukraine if you want to put it in American context. They are the Texas of Russia Okay, they have a shit ton of oil and gas. They have a shit ton of agriculture They have two warm water port access points at marypool and odesa Right and that's why Russia likes them because they they provide a lot of economic and military benefit But on top of that they're almost impossible to control and the only way Russia could do that was constantly invading them and killing them And changing their leaders and doing everything else Uh kind of the same thing we did with Texas back in the day That wasn't too long ago, right and the only reason they agree and they even still in their state constitution today Still withhold the right to to separate and become their own state if they don't agree with the federal government Right and Ukraine was kind of in the same point But the only reason they were able to get a foothold in that is because we outspent them in the space race Russia couldn't maintain its military and stuff economically Which is how our strategy worked back then and they're doing the exact inverse to us now, which is kind of funny. We'll get there Um, and that's why they had to separate and they gave up all the nuclear weapons in the minska cords and gave them back Right, but this is where it gets really screwy and this is why poutin really hates us in 2004 There was something known as the orange revolution in Ukraine Now at the time there was a russian installed puppet government and I forget their exact name is like victor Melendovich and someone that i'm really bad with russian names, but there are so they went to an election right and the us government went in there with a series of NGOs and by non-government organizations, I mean the cia and we ran a giant election campaign for a western supported um candidate, right and It was all funded by the dnc All of it. That's public information that is not hidden right so the democratic Uh party went into Ukraine in 2004 with the cia and basically created a bunch of false propaganda Making the russians think that the Ukrainian electorate for western support was ahead in the polls Right kind of like the way they uh flip elections here They put a bunch of stuff on the news saying this guy's 20 points above so don't go out and bother voting because this guy's going to win you're going to lose Right. Yeah, it's the same exact tactics and strategy. It's it's ironic right at three a.m. The poll just The vote so so funny so funny enough was the the russian guy who is being supported by poutin Uh won the election initially and then what happened was is the Ukrainian supreme court ruled that it was uh A corrupt election election from the russian government so they ran a reelection with uh the supreme court making that ruling and magically the western supported guy won the election after that so in 2004 we had a western government official running ukraine And 10 and this is where it gets worse So we had a western government guy running that and then you go through the bush era and then right into obama And what was going on and hmm. I don't know 2014. So this is where it gets really really screwy Is there was another election again and the same exact russian pup a government guy ran in 2014 Against this guy and he won The russian guy won but then he was ousted during a coup Right, uh known as i think it was the the mid-europe or mid-asian um revolution i forget i had it written down on my notes last time i did them but on two mics podcast but Who was president of the united states during then? Well, that's really weird. It was the obama administration and in 2014 That is when the war and don boss started. That's when Crimea was annexed by poontin said i've had enough of this shit So pootin went in there and tried to take back krymia He started an artillery war in the don boss blue thanks region Because who was installed into the barisimo oil and gas board of directors as a lawyer at this time He can i was hunter biden so hunter biden was installed As a way so we can't technically overthrow the election so when that guy fled back to russia because of this other Revolt we now we had a western controlled government that we were exclusively controlling their economic trade for oil in 2014 And right around the same time They dried the blaming on the russians, but it was actually russian separatists in the Ukrainian army as it now has been determined through a very thorough investigation By the Ukrainian government when mh 17 was shot down out of the sky with a surface to air missile killing 300 people And that was done in order to gain support for Ukraine Right their new government their new western government seeing the russians are corrupt. Look they took over krymia They shot down airliners russes bad. They're evil. They're trying to do all these things when in reality poot is just trying to keep western Influence out of his country and out of his areas of control Which is the same exact thing the united states does with every single country that we ally with Whether it's right mexico venezuela all these countries that we tried to gain influence in right same exact thing So this is very interesting that most people don't know well what happened in 2015? Well, this is when the syrian civil war started all right and it's right before the trump election Right after we gained economic government influence in ukraine now people are asking why are we in syria? Why are we over there and we've been there well guess who also has been in syria at the same exact time in 2015? russian russia Russia went in and realized so our policy is to go over throw over every single government put a bunch of puppets in there They have no idea what's going on everything ends in disaster because we try to institute democracy in countries that do not want democracy So bashir sad asked the russian government exclusively to help him regain control of this country in 2015 which Ironically really started over water rights, but that's an entire i'm going to deep dive way too much as an intel nerd on this But regardless it started over water good. I love the nerding out man. I love the new The syrian government Yeah, the syrian government basically started a war a civil war because they took all the water rights away from their farmers during the drought season and 2015 This is when a side used uh, seren was it seren gas? Uh, it was mustard gas Yeah, i had to use some seren too, but yeah, he was do you also drop in chlorine canisters had a helicopter tnt strapped to it so Yeah, oh my god, dude Yeah, that's good time. Great. It's not stupid if it works. So i guess yeah, sure he's reading the anarchist monica when he's doing done Because poutin is in control of the largest landmass of a country on earth with like 200 different ethnicities He understands one thing and then understands one thing very well Not every group of people likes to be in democracy some of these uh eastern block countries actually really like communism Because it provides everybody equal jobs. It's not the best it's not the best cars not the best food But they have jobs and they have food and unless you're you live in the united states and you take everything for granted If you anyone who's been overseas understands that uh 95 percent of the world does not live like we do Right, and and there's this misconception that everybody wants freedom and justice No, they don't most people just want to go to work and hang out with their families and go to church and leave everybody alone right, so So what did we do? So we're talking about cultural cultural differences, you know exactly they're very okay with the iron fist But anyway go on. Yeah. So what happened is is that the russian government goes into support bashir Assad And they immediately take control of the port of tardis now the port of tardis is one of the most essential ports in the middle east Because what does Ukraine have that the middle east doesn't? Food or water food food they have food Ukraine provides 80 percent of the grain supply to the middle east without Ukraine the middle east stars Okay, because it's way too expensive to come or else well who controls also the direct access point to the port of tardis Well, that's turkey to the bosphorus straights out of the black sea into the mediterranean ocean Putin knows that if he can use his navy out of the black sea to stabilize the bosphorus straights make backdoor deals with erdawan In turkey and control the port of tardis without firing a shot or fighting american troops He can now flip influence and control in the middle east by controlling syria And that's what he's currently and has been doing for the past several years. I mean fuck man when we were overseas We were working with the russians in syria to counter isis right isis is like the joker They're just days like the throw the fork in the garbage disposal and watch the world burn and the russians also hate isis So ironically we're running joint operations with russia in syria to counter isis But then we're also supporting this sdf the syrian defense forces, which is basically What the russians consider terrorist groups and the sdf and their civilian population on the eastern side of syria Doesn't like bashira sad right because they're the ones you started the civil war With the russians and the syrians in 2015 so you have this federal controlled government with bashira sad and russia supporting basically the north east or sorry the north west and the western side out of damascus And then you have a bunch of terrorists I mean by definition they're terrorists. They're trying to overtake the government to institute political change through violence That our green berets and everyone else is training Uh in the day of zero area outside of green village and al shadadi and all those bases And the sdf is considered Um, the rebel group that we support in syria that's countering russians in syria So basically the syrians at the russians and the us and the sdf are all fighting isis But then the russians and the syrians are fighting the sdf and the americans through proxy And then we're fighting the russians through proxy Uh by fighting the bashira sadr regime and that's how those connections are made and that's why we are in syria still Is because whoever controls the grain supply Wins the middle east right so we control the eastern side so the green has to go through the port of tardis Travel all the way through syria and they make it through the border crossing in jordan near tower 22 Which is where those three soldiers were just killed a couple weeks. Yeah, right so we control We control the the final export port out of syria and they control all the import and the russians in the syrian government control All the importing from you from ukraine, right? Um, and that's why it gets so complicated over there because here's the thing russian knows that they can't defeat us militarily and everything else But one thing they can do is flip alliances for us in the middle east by being the only guys who can give them food And this is actually causing a lot of problems with kuwait the uwe Qatar, iraq, lebanon all these countries, right? Is that at the end of the day like well? I mean, thanks for giving us some money and some tanks and some helicopters are just sitting dry out in the desert But what we really need is water and food and access to electricity and the russians and the chinese are giving us this And then you throw china into the mixing syria and they're building a shit on the infrastructure, right? Yeah, they're building wastewater treatment plants you're building electricity power plants So you're right this the syrian government had to figure out a way to make money because Yes, they're making some money off the food trade in the middle east but at the end of the day There's they still don't have a functioning government and a functioning population that that's at war So I don't think most people knows but syria was the largest producer of pharmaceuticals in the middle east for decades And they produced yeah all the drugs. So the painkillers, tylenol, advil, you know all that kind of crap, right? That was their main uh domestic export was pharmaceuticals. So when the war kicked off they couldn't do it anymore So this is actually was causing a problem when we were over there They are now the largest producer and exporter of capagon, which is basically in middle eastern fentanyl Right and that's what syria Of the bershira sod regime is now using the fund their government and fund their military operations is selling capagon And as everyone knows it's illegal to do drugs in the middle east Right like you can get executed inside of your baby for doing drugs and what's the best way to flip? uh Governments and cause civil unrest is exporting drugs and this is actually why we're in jordan and everything else as well is because syria is exporting billions of dollars of capagon into these middle eastern countries and it's fucking up their Male populations because now you get a bunch of rich kids driving around a Ferrari as high as fuck going Well daddy gave me a bunch of oil money. I don't know to do this oil money, but I can start selling drugs So they're causing political and civil unrest in the middle east by drugs Basically the same thing that mexico is doing to the united states and it's extremely effective. It's extremely effective, right? So Dude, I'm gonna be keep i'm gonna keep it 100% real with you man I have never heard of the word capagon until you just now. That's the same. Yeah. Yeah, no I appreciate it, but it's what I'm what I'm getting. I mean zak. Have you ever heard of capagon? No Yeah, this one is blowing and he's blowing my Every 50 seconds. I'm having a great time No, but I just have never heard the term capagon before and that's insane because if you're calling it the middle eastern fentanyl Right. I mean not that fit in all makes the news and in a way that it should be eradicating the united states anyway But just is I'm I'm half surprised and half not surprised that I have not heard of it is all i'm trying to say Yeah, I mean if you can't sell your own oil, right? Are we the baddies? Um, yes Yes, right So I mean and this is the problem right is that because we are causing so much civil unrest in Syria by not allowing a functioning government to overtake The rebels so to speak which they should let syria be syria man. Not everyone's going to agree Right the own and or a syria has a shit ton of oil, but who controls all of the oil fields now in syria Is it russia? No, we do We do All of our us military bases and outposts are positioned strategically in the day is your area near green village Alshad died and everything else that's where all of the oil fields in syria are so if That's why those years of like oil hitting a pan and then the friggin troops are parachuting into like your cooking pan So it's so funny if there's oil the fight is there. We don't we don't need their oil They don't buy production standards. They don't have a lot, but before the super war Yeah, before the super war started syria used to sell legal pharmaceuticals and then they used oil to fund their domestic programs And that includes health care and infrastructure everything else But now since we cut off all of their access to their own oil fields The only thing they have to do is sell illegal drugs and be dependent on the russian government, right? So we're causing more instability because now we're giving all this money to all these rebel groups and it's by our design so it's kind of funny because How much can I say so pretty much like beating the crap at a syria while also being like, hey, you should side with us Yeah They're never asking a question at him. How much how much of what you're describing this going on happened while President Trump was president Well, that's actually exactly what I was going to discuss. So there was there was a there was a turning point Um during the Trump administration remember when he said I'm going to go into the middle eight eliminate ISIS in a month Yes, yeah, well he did that because what happened was is that what all of our main military bases operate at a green village And everything else for all the oil fields are right and at that time before we took control It was actually controlled by the syrian government and what ISIS did because ISIS knows they need money too So the only way they could get a quick buck was to take over the oil fields and sell the oil to Iran and all the other things Right and work those back-to-work trading bills This is why I went over there as an energy analyst because at the end of the day I could tell you where to follow the money and the us army is too stupid to realize these spider web connections, right Because conical Phillips out there, which is an american company which runs that refinery. I think Produces 1.5 million barrels a day and like 10 million cubic feet of natural gas a day Which they need to cook and they need to feel their vehicles So once we cut off that funding source they had to result to drugs But ISIS is like well time to throw a wrench into it. This is where the syrian government um russian government and the us allied on this Was we went in said we're gonna take over green village again green village was developed outside of the conical Gasfields because they needed a place to house their workers So they built this entire village compound so the guys could go to work produced the oil and not have to travel hundred per miles or whatever, right? so ISIS went in there and they slaughtered Thousands of workers and people and killed everyone and then they started like basically filling up water bottles and trying to sell oil on the black market You know to make money and that's how they were funding that entire Caliphate great thing that went on in 2015 timeframe 2016 Right and it was very effective. Uh, so we went in there and said we got to take this over So trump went in there and absolutely positively fucking leveled everything except the main refinery structures And we went in there and then established bases like we have a base Near those refineries now we we are providing security and stability when we're just running the show now So we're we're not isis but we're doing exactly what isis did minus a lot of Indiscriminate killing of children and burning with the whole life Yeah, and we fancier uniform putting oil and water bottles Yeah, I mean it's yeah, it's wild what they do out there to refine it so against every fucking OSHA fucking safety standard Um, but anyway, how are you OSHA? Yay planning so we did establish We did establish safety and security in Syria at that time and you know at the time Trump was coordinating with bashirah sad and everything else To try to get everything re-stabilized But then you know the whole russian collusion investigations kicked off in Ukraine and this is kind of where you know We put zilinsky in power at the end of trump's tenure, but at At the end of the day it was he's just a puppet guy once again like Putin views that as a danger to him Because it's just another puppet government. That's being under worship control It's not going to benefit russia. It's not going to stabilize the people And the only economic incentive it's providing is that while the united states now controls all the ports and the grain supply to middle east And we're gonna buy and sell everything for you. Don't just sit back and relax. We'll just throw a bunch of money at you It's not actually providing economic stability to Ukraine. We're just running the show behind the scenes Right and not to say that russia doesn't do the same thing, but russia understands this So there was no way in hell that Putin was going to take any action Right after the decimation of isis in 2016 27 time frame knowing what our actual capabilities were Right and that's why Trump put a lot of effort into actually trying to be a mackey vellian with Putin You know the the enemy of the enemy is my friend perspective We don't like how he does things. He's not a great guy, but at the end of the day He does provide more stability in these countries than we do. I mean Putin stabilized syria for the most part You know, we don't we don't want to give him any credit because they believe in allowing these people to rule themselves But with an iron fist which is how those people respond we go in there and say how about we just have some elections in vote And by the way, it's hoping run by the democratic national convention in the background in cia You know, so it's like the best of both worlds, but you know which which bad apple do you want to eat off a tree? It's not all perfect. And this is where it caused a shits on a problem. So Putin realized that where he's losing his influence in syria because of our involvement, right? He's is controlling the grain supply, but he's not helping stabilize syria the way he wants to He doesn't have a warm water port for his navies and he's losing his influence, right? So he waited strategically until biden was elected in order to step into Ukraine and at the end At the end of the day people don't understand this eastern ukraine is basically russia those people are all ethnic russians They want to be part of russia. They want nothing to do with ukraine because western ukraine benefits greatly from the you know The united states government and western powers, but the eastern side of ukraine is you know They basically treated like mississippi, you know what I mean? They're they're the hicks You know, they're the lowlives, you know, they're the redneck racists nazis and all these other things low test wars Yeah, and that's where the azov battalion comes in, right? So The azov battalion is an actual neo-nazi group in ukraine. That's a major military command I mean pretty much equivalent to like fourth id or tenth mountain division, right? And these guys are heavily trained Former russian guys who are now ukrainians who will do whatever they want for money And that's those are the guys you got to be they're basically like the chechen equivalent of ukraine Right if you want to talk chechen rebels, uh, you know a bunch of jacked muslim dudes who could do jiu jitsu That's what the azov battalion is in ukraine. Right? And poutin knows that they're a threat so poutin when he said i'm going to denotsify eastern ukraine He wasn't kidding that was not propaganda He was gonna go in and kill all these neo-nazis push them out of the don boss and the luthonx region which has been going on since 2014 and get it over with because he's like You guys are killing russian citizens. They're all complaining They're actually trying to seek asylum in russia because even the ukrainians were bombing their own apartment complexes and blaming it on the russians and killing their own citizens Right. Yeah, people don't want to talk about that. You cray. I guess that ukraine is massively corrupt, right? And Yes So poutin basically staged all these military exercises and going across the border and my first estimates Especially from all the background stuff we were watching on drone feeds and satellite feeds It's just like oh, this is going to be over in two fucking weeks and poutin designs his initial operation to do that He was going to go in there He was going to steamroll all the way up to kiev But then he was going to backtrack and then just take the don boss and luthonx and basically unite Crimea don boss luthonx and say This is the line now stop fucking with us and as a result we get some of our warm water ports back We can still control the agricultural trade to seria and we're not going to get a hundred percent of what we want But it's going to reduce western influence in the region Which is what we want at the end of the day. There are christian nation that believes in moms and dads and having kids And I mean at the end of the day They're basically the 1950s version of the us that just wants apple pie and american baseball Right, that's what russia thinks of itself They are very defensive of their culture and what people don't understand about russians and i'm from jurors You're i got a shit ton of jewish friends a shit ton of russian friends, right is that Russians do not care that they have a hundred choices of yogurt at the grocery store They just care that they have one choice of yogurt and to them if they have that then poutons do in his job Because these people all grew up as cold war kids where they're parents and their grandparents told them how horrible the us is And how they're just going to strangle you and put sanctions on you So these people are used to this shit like this stuff doesn't care like all great We're back to like having to produce our own cars and timber and military industrial complex ourselves out of the situation like we did in the uh during the cold war but they're going to do it the smart way in this time Because what they the russians did and how we won the cold war so to speak under reagan was they outspent themselves with the space program Right and try to prove the the power of russia. They spent so much money. They actually couldn't support their domestic programs anymore Well poutons sees this and he recognized his their fuck ups, you know from the gorbachev area And what he's doing now is so the us stop spending so much money on its space program, too Exactly. Uh and now basically what russia is doing is we're going to redo this whole cold war thing But we're not going to lose this time And what they did was is now they're establishing the brix countries right brazil russia india china and singapore They're trying to create their own currency and this currency is based upon physical assets. That's gold Timber coal oil and gas all these other things and sing a pours is south south africa. I thought it was You might be correct. Yeah, okay one of those countries Um, yeah with an s but that was that was all my questions. Yeah, dude. That's it south carolina, you know could be That's a country But no one of the questions I wanted to ask you bro is I was listening to you on to mike's live Like I said is where does china come into all this with russia? Do you think china is there back behind the scenes saying hey man Just go for it do this we have your back sort of thing or do you think this is a relationships sort of based on the simultaneous equivalent of What benefits you will benefit me but there's no real entanglement here Easy question. So this is the main difference that people need to share between russia and china russia at the end of the day Is basically america with an accent and potato vodka, okay? They like their culture. They like their military They like everything else and they're going to keep it that way and they're going to do whatever they can to preserve mother russia Just like if anyone did the same thing red dawn style in the us Joe blow and everyone else is going to grab their gun and start shooting at whatever guy comes across the border Right. Thank gosh russia just wants to be left alone at the end of the day They actually want to be allies with the united states And russia Would be one of our best allies because they do have a strong military and they do have a good economy They don't have the best leaders, but either do we now our leaders just don't shoot people out of the sky with surface to air missiles Like pergosion, right? You know, we just make you disappear through eight other layers of the cia and then you suicide yourself in the back So i'm backing right so Everyone thinks we're better than russia. Uh, we do the same shit. We just hide it better. Okay Um But this is why china is significantly more dangerous, right is that Russia at the end of the day, they don't want to take over the united states They don't want to take over these countries They want to build economic ties and they want to establish trade routes that benefit mother russia And keep and preserve their culture just pretty much like the us does for the most part China on the other hand they actually want to take over everything and make everything china Right so they have a different ideology, but the problem is is that they play the long game when china does this shit They don't do the 10 month plan. They don't do the 10 year plan. They do the hundred year plan Right and that's what they're doing now china is like a really shitty backdoor tony soprano mob dealer You know at a called will new jersey when it comes to russia They see what russia is doing and russia is 100 capable of doing this by themselves, but they go Well, you have all these sanctions and ironically sanctions have only made russia richard because it's reinvigorated their industrial base um and everything else but china goes Well You can't sell anything legally because of the whole swift banking system being collapsed underneath you guys from the us But we don't really follow that system. How about you just do everything through us? And we'll provide you a walmart gateway to everything you want and russia's like, yeah We don't like you really much, but fuck it sounds good to us, right? So by isolating russia Exactly by isolating russia. We are only emboldening actual State actors that can cause the us harm russia is never going to invade the us russia doesn't want to fight america russia Does not want to shoot american soldiers like i said we've worked with the russians in seer They're actually really nice guys, you know i mean like they're they're just doing their shit just like we are right Um, but the chinese especially what i saw when i was in the middle east they're fucking Everywhere they are into every country and but china knows your militarily Yeah, they were two miles from where zak and i were deployed when we were in africa Outside of the booty like fucking everywhere right so jibouty fucking kenya Somalia all over the front corner corner of africa you could throw a rock and hit fucking chinese assets Pretty much so it's kind of like russia when it comes to their military capabilities, right? They don't have all the cool sexiest stuff, but they got a shit ton of it, right? Yeah, and they know that they would have a very hard time in a direct Conflict with the united states so they're not interested in that but just like russia They have a different approach to gaining influence and that's through economic tie building and that is the belt and road initiative Right when i was out in the middle east they are now building every single wastewater treatment plant every power plant every refinery They now own the largest refinery in kuwait That's chinese. It's not kuwaiti because a kuwaiti. I mean anyone's worked in middle east Fuck in middle east there's a laziest people who ever met in my life. They don't want to fucking work They'd rather pay somebody as long as they're getting a 50 cut And they can sit on their and they can sit on their ass and fuck their five wives. They don't give a fuck You know what i mean? So china is like looking at you So china now is building this russo sino alliance Right and they're basically going to trade technology build a new computer chip base And everything else and they're now they're also allowing i ran to sell everything on the black market Right, so i if you want to talk about legitimate actual military terrorist threats that could kill americans I ran is a big fucking problem. I ran causes all of the problems in the middle east. It's not Isis isis is like whatever Um, it's not iraq It is all of these Iranian aligned militant groups that are sprinkled out throughout the middle east and are just blowing up cars and doing random Shit to fuck us up. That's who's killing american soldiers overseas. That's who's killing russian soldiers It's all Iranian line militant groups and then on top of that you add a super desperate dictator into the mix And then you have king john new in north korea Also supplying munitions and everything else throughout the area and to the russians as a trade-off because they need food Right. Well who has access to all the food in new kraine and and russia now and china. Uh, well, it's fucking poutine So now poutine can sit there and go We're going to make economic food trade deals clean water deals electricity generation deals for these evs and everything else and china is desperately Determined to basically control the entire cobalt mining operations in africa for e vehicles Right and that's an issue Right. So the best thing we can do to actually stabilize world peace is actually unite with russia To counter china and iran and we're not doing it That is a really dumb idea Yeah, I was going to ask you what what would be the worst case scenario if we fucked around and wound up with allies as allies with russia Is is that is kind of how you box china out from everything? And it knows going to ask you you've already kind of answered this question But that is is russia. Do you think interested in becoming an ally in the united states in that way? And I think the answer is yes, you know what I mean? I think you've kind of already said that but Um, you know if he said he wanted it poutine said he tried that he tried to join nato under bill clinton And yes, he do us said no poutins like I actually uh want to work with you guys I'd love to come see america. Why don't you guys come out here and they would actually settle him down He wouldn't be so uh like, you know a chinchilla back into a corner like a rabbit raccoon and start shooting killing everybody But the thing is we would also have the same exact reaction if someone did the same thing to us You know what I mean? There's no fucking way we would like china park a bunch of nukes in mexico We go into mexico fuck them up and take all their stuff out Well, that's how the russians feel when we have all their stuff surrounded and they're sovereign territory and their areas of influence Because it affects their way of life. What are the most effective pieces of propaganda? I ever saw when I was overseas was and I don't know if this is on youtube anymore. It's called poutine clause Okay So the problem with the transgender ideology and all this other crazy woke stuff that only affects 0.001 Of the population in the united states is what china and russia Are actually afraid of they want their culture. I mean, what's what's the best part about traveling other countries It's seeing cultures and their food and their way of life and everything else United states Is seen internationally as like we're going to make everything the same and we're going to do everyone the same and everyone can cut their dicks off and everyone can be cool, right and and it's just like China and russia are like fuck no, we're not doing that like We're not going to genocide ourselves by having a bunch of double moms and double dads that can't have kids And if we can't grow around populations and preserve our thousand or ten thousand-year culture Right. Yeah, so what this came out as is that in this video It's like this uh camera panning through an american home And you see pictures of a gay and a lesbian couple at pride parades Uh, the kid is sleeping, but he's holding like a pride flag and all this other crazy shit And then you see poutine like peek through a window with like a shitty beard like bad santa style like, you know, billy Bob dorton and he like shakes and he shakes his head and goes we have to stop this And he goes into this american home and with the wave of his hand he makes all the family pictures disappear With all the gate all the gay lesbian stuff and the transgender ideology stuff And then the kid wakes up on chris this morning. He has a real mom and a real dad And he gets a football for christmas and the girl gets a barbie doll And and then you see like a crucifix in the background because we're bringing religion back in the stabilize You know because religion is good in my opinion, right? It's our entire country has found that on jude of christian values, right? And putton's just like looks at the kid and he like waves and he like winks at the kid And it's like it's funny Because we spent 50 fucking years fighting communism pitching the same exact message american pie american baseball domestic Nuclear families hard industry being proud being proud of your country being proud of its flag and poutine is now using Basically american culture with a russian flag on top of it to influence his own population And you want to know what russians don't disagree with that They don't disagree with that they want to keep their culture. They want to protect their families. They don't want to mutilate children It's because they think they're a guy or a dude because they played dress up when they were three You know and unfortunately we're shooting ourselves in the foot by using these progressive ideologies And i'm not saying i'm against like oh fuck the gay lesbian lgbtq trans community Hey man, look in my opinion if you're over the age of 25 because that's when all your neurons form You can actually make rational decisions if you really want to cut your dick off and be a chick good on you bro But at the end of the day As long as you stay outside my 12-acre gate fence and you let me live my way of life as a conservative catholic And i can raise kids and i can go you know marry a woman and live my life That's the best part about american freedom and that's the main difference between russia and us is that in russia Both us put you in jail and all this other crazy shit in the united states for the most part You can do whatever you want, right? But we have this really Misinformed like communication style now in the us where if you go against this stuff Then we're going to destroy your life. We're going to take away your life livelihood. We're going to shut down your business We're going to character assassinate you, right? So a lot of these eastern block countries and russia and china are Countering us ideology by using 1950s american ideology. It's wild to me You know like people don't realize this like having kids and you know raising families is a good thing Because you know what i'll tell you all the uh the mexican immigrants and all the people in the middle At least you're having 10 kids a piece and we're so confused about what color the sky is over here We're actually losing our own american culture and to the behest of our so-called enemies So yeah, it kind of goes back to what you were saying in the beginning of the episode is about you're not a pro You're not pro russian. You're not pro poutin your pro traditional values And a lot of those a lot of us right who express those traditional values gotten thrown into that camp of all your pro russia your pro poutin Just because you share some of these traditional values that you want to see you know return to prominence and and happen and be okay now And that's that's you nailed it man. That's exactly what that's the thing is like 85 of americans probably believe those things they just don't say anything as a silent majority at the end of the day Look, hey man. There's always going to be weirdos in society and that's cool You live your life as long as you leave me alone But most of us want to go to work get married have kids pay less taxes and keep america going But you want to know what the only people that are going to continue Having this american culture or this russian culture or this chinese culture where we preserve our culture our art history and literature Is the people who have good families raising children? So maybe those are the people in these countries that need to be Uh catered to in terms of like tax breaks or supporting those ideologies Like I said you're free to do whatever the hell you want but at the end of the day Uh america must go on and in 20 30 years if society keeps going the way it is in the united states russia and china are going to make some significant moves and most countries Who also want to preserve the cultures in way of life are going to side with those people I even saw the same thing. I was doing my master's degree at oxford out in england Uh the massive migrant influx that was going on in there And the the english are legitimately worried about them knocking down buildings next to west mr abbey to build mosques And and miss towers right uh and taking away from that great english culture that's been there for thousands of years Same thing in germany right the german's are losing their culture Right and now they're starting to fight back about it right now This whole transgender ideology stuff is actually starting to go away in europe because they're realizing hey, wait Wait, whoa This actually isn't good for our culture and preservation of what we truly believe in as german Or italian's or her english or french right and america is surrounded by two oceans. So we see it much No, definitely not and I was just going to say that you bring up germany I've first had an experience with that. I was a part of a unit there that is both army and air force but our entire um responsibility is off base with politi and the majority of the Violent crime that we responded to involved Immigrants who were there that had the that murk hell had brought over And integrated in these countries and ironically she integrated them into a bunch of cities that weren't close to big big cities like munic or or burlan Smaller german cities where and there's places with more conservative values if you've ever been to the the ram sign Kaiser slaughter an area you know that these are these are more conservative style german's right And um a lot of them are very very anti what's going on a lot of the things that They put up with are our violence and and the people try to eradicate their culture And and their culture is much more older than than the united states's culture And um, they're very very proud of that. So I mean it's true I've seen it firsthand and listened to some of the german's that I work with and they're fed up just like americans are washing our culture Disappear and um that it's it's it's just sad to see that because I think that humans in general want to um go into groups and and share a culture because it becomes an identity and what we're experiencing the united states is what's called a tyranny of the minority And that's what happening is being propped up by the current political regime And it's it's subverting essentially everything that has made america What it is and how how great it can be for us as americans in our in our Traditions right not necessarily the things we do overseas that are fucked up. But anyway, it's the i'm hoping essentially that Here in the next couple years that tyranny of the majority goes away Nothing good comes out of that and I like to say to and this is um Not my idea not original and by any means Is that the uh the more egalitarian as society becomes the more it starts to slip into chaos Because everything becomes permitted everything is allowed and i'm sorry Everything should not be allowed like you said, you know If you want to be a consenting adult and go do whatever it is you want to do i'm okay with that Um to quote davis repel just don't expect me to participate in your delusion Uh, and I shouldn't be expected to as well And I thought that that was part of being american is is not having to participate And then other people shit not infringing on my rights to live as well too. So but yeah, you Hit on a lot of and that's what and that's one thing I think I left out was uh So I got deployed to the january six riots as well as national guardsman Uh, so I was out there and and like I said When you really see what the fuck is going on and you're like We are worse than the chinese communist party when it comes to propaganda Joe biden's inauguration had like a record like 35 people at it. Okay, we're all standing there watching that All right. I was like, what the fuck is going on right now, right? And just he just did just more union You just he just finished the stadium You actually like that was literally arrested a gold star father broke. It didn't mean i watched the entire thing Yep, it's embarrassing. I didn't yeah You like you can see the news and they're like touting like all the great things and all this type of stuff and it's like Did you stay the same stay the united because I think we watched two different state of the unions like it was not Not good Well, this is what legitimately worries me like because i'm like I recently just switched over the reserve, right? So I finally uh, I decided I really wanted to be an intel analyst. I couldn't do it in the guards So I swapped over to civil affairs officially now in the in the reserve side Uh, toasty gabberds actually my commander. It's actually really funny Uh, her and I have the same enemy her and I have the same enemies and friends. It's actually hilarious. We talk about it often Um, you talked to toasty Yeah, she's my commander Yeah, I she i'm her intelligence analyst That's fucking awesome, dude. Yeah, she's switching over to recruiting command now because they want her to go try to get more people recruiting So unfortunately she's leaving soon, but she is Man, she's I was chump with pickers vp because she's she's an amazing person. She really is Um, some of her to a, uh, thought thought processes is concern me, but I do like toasty for the most part Well, here's the thing though when you do with most politicians like There's only a certain amount of people I trust with you know a fucking with a ball bat and she's one of them Right. Yeah, you know and the worst part is you go out there and see the january six riots And he's uh, we were there for the post security operation and like i'm staying in nancy plosie's office. I'm just like, so where's there's all this destroyed stuff and Losing of american democracy everyone's talking about it's It was all it was all made up That was a bunch of dude just walked around hanging out and they broke a couple windows But I mean that's nothing different than what happened down the street with all the fentanyl drug addicts and the dc circle walking in lines Like between the belt ropes. Yeah, that's not a that's not a coup. That's not a revolution You know anyway. Yeah, well, I mean that's what actually leads to this entire election cycle And this is actually what concerns me the most right is You know, I can't sit here and say because nothing I see represents the dod ready of its entities and someone in volition. Okay now that I got that out of the way um What really concerns me is how The because the democrats are basically using ukraine as a giant money laundering scheme for the military industrial complex post fganistan They stopped making money off fganistan So now laki martin and belling have to make money other ways the best way to do that is funneling money to ukraine And they need all that money in order to support their democratic election process, which is just that entire uh crypto situation that happened with that guy sam Or whatever basically women. Yeah, they they basically uh, we're Funnelling and uh laundering a bunch of money through crypto because it's untraceable Right. So they understood that yeah, okay, we can talk about balance stuffing and machines changing and it's all conspiracy theory and blah blah blah blah However Everyone always talks about civil war and also the crazy crap That's never going to happen in the united states nor is put in ever going to use nukes in ukraine That's all propaganda and the reason is because until you don't have access to water food and electricity Then you have to start being concerned about the boys in west virginia coming out of the woodwork. All right But at the end of the day Uh, the democratic party has definitely figured out how to how joe biden could win this election and it's very simple It is this entire migrant crisis that's going on at the border right now They are purposely being flown into sanctuary cities that don't have voter id laws And they're being handed thousands of dollars a month to buy food live in hotels and everything else And at the end of the day in exchange Hey man, just vote for us because we gave you all this free shit So they're going to legitimately try to win the election by votes But it's going to be millions of undocumented people that are going to flip that vote And this is so i don't know if i could record breaking year Well, i don't know if i told you guys this election So and i'll be honest, it's like one thing i've been changing my tune on like i've I've always been a fencer when it comes to politics because i've always tried to gain support for my case of sexual assault And you need people on the liberal side of aile and conservative aile I don't really talk about my faith much because oh my god i'm a catholic so i must rape children or something, you know, but you know When i got into this political process and the biden administration personally screwed me over Right they had the opportunity to do it right Um, and they didn't so i've completely like i and to be honest i didn't vote for trump in the last election I voted for a libertarian party right and but this time with my lobbyist i got invited down to trump's house So a couple weeks ago i actually i actually flew down to marallago and i met with his staffers And trump is completely doing this thing differently this time First of all the guy is nothing like he is on tv in person It is amazing. He is a normal sane calm speaking businessman who has a plan and knows exactly what the fuck he's doing and Strategically i talked to a lot of his inside staffers sitting at a table there like 50 feet away from the guy and we're talking about this and like Well, americans can't understand this because if you have a really smart intellectual person go on there and start talking about actual policy Like the vet rama swami for example people stop listening after three minutes And trump's camp is now vetting everybody they bring in so i mean they literally will go through your social media for five years To make sure that you're not Liberal leaning at all and his in his previous administration. He tried to be 50/50 He tried to bring in democrats he tried to bring a conservators because he's a businessman He wants everybody to participate and he thought by doing the right things that everybody wanted to do it But unfortunately the bureaucracy is so unbelievably corrupt especially in the democratic national convention Um that they spent four years Screwing around with the doj which affected my case the doj during that entire frame also fucked me over because they were lying and hiding information Uh just to try to make up a bunch of random shit that didn't happen in order to try to house this guy out of the presidency And they were successful in doing that but they know they're not going to get away with that type of strategy in this election cycle Especially so what they're doing is they're depending on the migrant vote to flip it. So what trump does Specifically this is vote Yeah, and for people That are really anti-chump for example like I I was kind of anti-chump for a while like I like his policies because i'm an oil and gas guy I'm a farmer, you know, and i'm in the military, right? So obviously he supports my way of life But sometimes I wish he would just stop talking because you're making things worse and i'm sure a lot of you I feel that way but when I met him in person and I see this guy how he operates then I understood This guy is more american than frickin Abe Lincoln. I swear to god to go to his house He's got american flags everywhere. He's playing lee greenwood This guy's hugging the american flag shaking everybody's hands like I've never seen somebody love american more than this guy And the last president to work for free was john f Kennedy and they assassinated him Okay, this guy does his job for free. He doesn't need to do it for the money or influence or anything else He's a businessman. This is what he does But what his entire camp now is specifically strategizing on is simplicity Right He specifically throws out some jokes making fun of biden making fun of niki haley, but for the most part He's all about unifying we need to come together. We need to save america and he's not wrong, but No, I mean, how many people voted in the last election? Theoretically 100 million something like that 160 million whatever it was Well, there's over 380 million americans. So where is the other two thirds? They don't vote Trump understands he needs to get these people out to the polls to counter the migrant vote So what he does is and it's nothing against middle americans Sorry, but most americans are fucking stupid. Okay, they don't pay attention to anything over 15 to 20 seconds So everything they put out is five words or less. You know make america great again Save america sleepy joe Economy china because those types of political targeting is very easy for the most uneducated person to understand And as much as people want to you know bash on uneducated conservatives or whatever it is You know, we're all a bunch of maga extremists or whatever it is. Right That's what he's doing because joe biden got there just like he did in the state of the union and talk about you cray and abortion and seniors and all those other democratic talking points that he's done for 40 years I mean absolutely nothing But at the end of the day all he needs to do is convince a couple more million people who never voted before To just check the mark in the box and start switching things over and he said day one He's firing half the federal government, you know, I mean he has a very Vefekramas swami approach to that and I fully support that Um, but that's why he is the way he is every mega rally you see Is strategically done on purpose. He goes out and says something extremely inflammatory Gets you to pay attention. He says the three to four sentences that you care about and then he's off the air Right and that's what he needs to do to make people pay attention. So for people who are so He's using these um These court hearings all stuff as places for him to talk to because everyone's waiting for him to walk Exactly walk in the court and he don't spit ball a couple This only helping him and has nothing to do with like the court here. He'll he'll do a quick Magger rally right there on his way into the courthouse And then when he comes out he'll do another quick magger rally and it's just being broadcasted on every net where he understands All press is good press. Yeah, it's effective. I mean even when he went down to the border he goes Just came down to the border. It's a mess. We're gonna fix it. Have a good day Boom done and that's the only thing you see on the news is 10 seconds, right? Joe Biden will go out there and come on harris to go out there and they'll talk for two three minutes or Kish whatever jump here. Whatever her name is Exactly. So the democrats are using inflammatory language maga rallies now extremists using divisive language trump is actually using Unifying words and you know as a guy who works in psychological operations and intelligence. This is exactly what we do in other countries Like this is what we do, right? So, um, I I completely changed my opinion on trump I fully support his camp and everything that he's doing. I think he's probably one of the most american people i've ever met And it's kind of one of my sticking points now is uh, not only do we need leaders that have the courage to command in this country But I am no longer going to be a coward of my own convictions You know, I am a proud catholic conservative I'm not afraid to say who I support in my way of life And I want other americans to come on podcasts like this and have intelligent Conversations with realistic talking points and not just you know I have friends that i've been with I've known since I was like five right who came out and called me a racist and a nazi because I went to mar-a-logo I'm like, you know, we've been friends like since I was five, right? Do you really think i'm a nazi? Show me the empirical evidence But everything is subjective to them. I'm like I actually I even try like let's have a conversation about this To my closest friends who are hardcore liberals my family and my mom said is hardcore liberals even my grandma And i'm just like guys i'm not trying to be divisive I want to have a rational conversation about why you think trump is a nazi and a racist Because i'm telling you i've met the guy i've met the these people in person and You love this house and you love your way of life. Don't you want to keep this going? I'm confused about why you want to pay more taxes and why you want to lose our american way of life in american culture To people that are just worried about making money in the stock market and continuing wars overseas in israel and ukraine That are killing hundreds of thousands of people i'm confused about why you don't want that It doesn't make any sense and then they have no answer they say fuck you racist and hang up the phone Wow, dude You had that with your grandmother I'll do my love my grandma. She's 99 but man, the she hate trump 99 Wow, i'm like man. You did world war two. You were born right after world war one. You went through the entire like If anyone should support trump is seeing your life experiences like you've literally seen nazis Grandpa thought they're nazis and and you're telling me that you think trump is a nazi i'm like what is going on right now Dude, that's crazy, man It's it's it's democratic propaganda right it's the brainwashing and the propaganda that's been going on in the american media is terrible Like i don't watch american news media unless i'm doing an intel analyst on it like State of union or something something right i would tell people the most reliable source of news in western news media right now is breaking points Uh with crystal ball and and ister soccer Uh, it's a democrat republican and they actually talk about legitimate issues and legitimate concerns with relevant information So if people really want to hear what's going on in the world internationally and domestically That's the only podcast in new source i can recommend as an intelligence analyst is that podcast um But yeah, I just americans need to have rational conversations and and really talk about like Preserving our way of life having kids bringing back the family unit all these things Do you think do you think that americans are so reticent to do that because we That the news media has done a really good job at convincing people that americans don't have a culture Or do you just think that maybe that americans don't even realize we have a culture because we're so hodgepodge For the past four years. We've been told that our culture is racist. We didn't do slavery. We hate black people We hate the jews and everything else What are you talking about? You know what i mean like we had the civil rights movement. We had martin lisa king jr We had all of these things we fought for freedoms independence more than any other country in the history of the world Like you know even from your basic elementary school education for the past 50 years that everything you're saying is incorrect But you're only believing what you see immediately in the last four years And i tell people like it's okay that we disagree like one of my best friends is a one star general We work together in a an NGO called developing world connections Like we just came back from the paul this year building houses overseas from the earthquakes and helping people out And he is a hardcore liberal-minded anti-Trump guy and i tell him i'm like hey, you know general i won't say his name, but general whatever like We've been friends. He was one of my instructor at the air force academy He's been my biggest supporter in my case against the air force academy the government He knows what corruption is and i sat there but he's like Can't stand trump and you say the word he's gonna burn your house down kind of thing I sat there and just go Even if you don't like trump and i do and i support this politically, it's not going to change how i feel about you You know what i mean? I'm not going to let that ruin my relationship with you like i'm not inviting trump and joe biden over my house for thanksgiving dinner Right, but i'm going to vote for the policies that support my way of life So i can raise a family and you should too and even if we disagree at the end of the day If i can't change your mind or you can't change my mind about who we support politically I'm not going to let that affect my personal relationship with my friends and my family You know and i wish more americans has had that rational approach to politics Like you are being completely manipulated by the ghost and the machine as we say in syops Right like we put the ghost and the machine on purpose right to make you think these things right and I just want you to realize that it's not real. It's made up. It's fake At the end of the day, I just want to drink a beer and go mow my lawn and go barbecue Right and you should do and that's okay But people like are in this misconception that like we're at this like war and all this other shit I'm like that's that's not reality, man. It's it's not You know, I just blowed my mind that people really think that was or alike Then they then they Yeah, yeah, and we're also very much like the russians too Like I said, have you ever sit there and have a conversation with your neighbor or these people like We're all trying to do the same thing man. We just want to survive make enough money You know raise our kids so to speak and pay off our house mortgage just Hang out and I wish americans would realize that at the end of the day. That's what's important You know dc politics for the most part are not going to affect 99 percent of americans minus your your iris tax returns every year Right at the end of the day. It doesn't matter You know, but I just I wish people would just start having rational conversations and understand the truth And that the truth matters, right and you know, whether it's mutilating children Uh or putting up false propaganda, you know, like I said, well, my biggest needs don't fuck with the kids man Once once they started Once they started fucking with kids with drag shows and how to suck dick and kindergarten I'm like, no, I'm sorry. I will vividly speak out against the stuff that is not correct. That is not morally correct You know, yeah And in no way she performs for those conversations be Having had, you know and to sit there and say if you if you have a problem with me saying leave the kids alone Then you are a part of the problem 100 tips Exactly. Oh, I want to teach my kid how to be a girl and he's he's three. I'm like You need to check yourself into a mental institution, man Like you understand what you're saying is oh, you're a transphobe. I'm not a transphable. I'm a rational. I don't thinking human being like Right Dude, there would be No, and that would be like your kid, right? So my son really really likes spider-man Right, so but six months from now, it could be could be all Batman. Who knows? That would be like me telling him like no, no, no, only spider-man forever And then keeping him in that and and not letting him deviate at all the kids don't understand anything like that Like you said before 25 is when all your neurons are connected and your your brain is fully developed and you're making decisions And and you know, we can have a whole ass conversation about you know What an adult is and what age should we should be voting and all this other shit because I think all of that needs to change And we can have a conversation about that too. Like I think that Um, you should have to pass a civics civics exam to graduate high school. I don't think 18 year olds should be voting I think that you should have a job to be voting Um, and again, you know, I don't think we should go back to The land of gentry and you have to be this sort of elevated status person to make a decision and make decisions for other people But I do think that you have to have some sort of skin in the game To be voting to making decisions for other people you should not be Have had a life of welfare and then making decisions about my life and my family You should be contributing to to society to be able to do that It should be a privilege. I'm getting able to speak on it Yeah, what the most people don't understand about the whole women's voting situation. Do you know why women weren't allowed to vote like for so long Well, I know there's a bunch of there's a bunch of reasons why they're I mean like they were worried about women We're going to vote about the man or somebody running because of how attractive they were They were worried about women, you know voting because they didn't want them leaving the house and that they couldn't make these decisions They weren't smart enough to make these decisions. So what what a Example you're going to give well at the end of the day the only people that were allowed to vote were people who were going to be sent to war and draft Right And that's another one too, which is which is hilarious because we want again in any egalitarian society but a bunch of women don't want to have to you know Sign up for selective service and have to go to war and to be honest, I don't want them there You know, it's like, you know, there's like a big like social media like almost like joke Trend that was happening right after Russia Invading Ukraine where like people are all thinking war three was gonna happen and all of a sudden all these like woke women were like Oh, I know how to cook. Well, look at me. I can vacuum. They just like we're joking to go back into their Feminine roles to try to avoid the drafts because they didn't want to be equal now that we're three was about to happen Yeah, well, I always say that dude when shit hits the fan everything gets back goes back to those sorts of traditional rules And if if every if we had hit with an EMP tomorrow in this country It's not going to be the woke blue-haired chicks down this fucking street leading the charge and and saving your your community It's not going to be that it's going to be the volunteer fireman. It's going to be the dude who's your veteran neighbor It's going to be the fucking guy who goes to work at five o'clock in the morning to work at the electrical plant Who you know comes home at eight p.m. Just to put food on the table for his his wife and kids That's who it's going to be It's not going to be these fucking shithead activists that go out there and yell about Palestine or yell about fucking kids getting sex changes Etc. Etc. You know this when it should hits the fan traditional roles Show the reason why they are traditional roles roles. Mm-hmm. Absolutely Dude I would be remiss if I let you leave this this podcast without asking you About Tulsi and the vice presidency Man, that's I mean honestly, I think she's a great pick. I don't think she's obviously going to be picked for vp I don't know who what trump is he didn't even hint to it when we were down there um But we need somebody As vp who is going to unequivocally support his agenda. We can't have any division in this next presidency, right? We need somebody who is going to focus on the economy Focus on rebuilding our military Focusing on providing equal rights and opportunities to all americans And reinvigorating our industrial base and then creating peace throughout the world by fixing the situation in russia and israel And really starting to counter our actual enemies and those actual enemies that threaten culture And our way of life is china and I ran 100% And also what we really need to do with all of that Is eliminating all of these woke generals in our us military, right? We need to Tell the people who want to join the military that it's okay to be a cis white male from alabama who believes in jesus christ Because those are the best guys that put behind a rifle at the end of the day. That's who's really joining the military, right? And and definitely securing our border. So we need a vp who is also about securing the border Because that is a massive domestic threat that is much more of a threat to us right now than anything else because not only can that flip the votes Uh in terms of the election cycles, but you're talking about legitimate threats internally that could potentially to even insider terrorist threats You know later on in the united states. It's another thing to be concerned about. You know, I think I think trump You know, if whether it's tulsi or like vivak rom swami. I personally think those are the two best choices that he has right now Um, I think they are the most I mean vivak by far like there's nothing he says that I disagree with Uh, he he meets the demographic points. You know, he's a hindu Uh minority millionaire, but I think you know, even though tulsi is technically a career politician Uh, she very much cares about the issues and cares about the american people But at the end of the day, I do not think that trump should pick a career politician Uh into the vp position. I think he needs somebody like himself as a businessman who's worked his way from the ground up Like I said vivak rom swami in my opinion is the best choice for that But we'll we'll see we'll see what happens. I I mean, it'll be interesting to see who we picked But I definitely know he's not going to make the same mistake by putting anyone in any cabinet position including vp That would try to run counter narrative to him moving forward I think he made that mistake with mike pence Uh, because you can see how much he came out and attacked trumped afterwards, but uh, he's not going to make any mistake like that again And I hope he does the same thing with the chief of staff Uh, between all the service branches. I hope he goes in and fires all of them And we bring in real american heroes because the problem is is that the american people have put the american servicemen on the pedestal That they can do no wrong That just because they wear a uniform that they're good I think anyone who starts in the military knows that there's so many shit bags and pieces of shit in the us military And you know, that's what I fight for is you know, revamping the sexual assault retaliation cases mental health records falsification Uh, the whole coven 19 fucking disaster where we lost Thousands of amazing nco's and officers because they all went off and said fuck this. I'm out I'm not dealing with this bullshit anymore. So who's running the us military right now? Jesus I separated at 15 years. Yeah, the people who are running the us military now are the best of the worst And the people that were left over the douchebag commanders died out without the air force academy are the ones in charge now You know and people always asked me like dorita. Why are you still in like? I mean, yeah, I know I have to do my service time back technically and i'm fighting that legal battle But at the end of the day, I don't need to be in the military man I am perfectly happy living on my homestead living my civilian job and not giving a fuck But I take it as a personal responsibility. I I view myself as one of the good guys You know, I'm not afraid of rank. I'm not afraid to speak up against corrupt commanders I did the same thing when I was in centcom. I stood up to plenty of Colonels and said, sir. I don't think you understand. I don't give a fuck google me I will take you down in your career I will put you on a podcast and I will take you out because at the end of the day Oh back to my civilian job. This doesn't pay my bills and then they immediately shut the fuck up It's kind of funny, right? They're all children I call this high ranking people role. Yeah, and like I said, I should be a lieutenant colonel right now So All the people my age were in that weird position where their company commanders are battalion commanders now I'm like, I know what you really think you don't really know what the fuck's going on at the end of the day You know what I mean? And I have so many people contact me in the background on instagram and stuff like who were in these positions And they they asked me what they should do in these situations because I'm not afraid to tell them how it is I'm not a yes man But I really truly fear For the generation of americans coming up behind me Because one day I'm gonna have to hang it up, man You know, I mean there there will come a time and my time in the military is done And I'm trying to drag this out one to get my retirement done But two because I genuinely care about the people serving in our military and I genuinely care about them being taught the right things taught the right tech, you know, TC TTPs right techniques tactics and procedures um And I'm not saying I'm like trump, but like I view it in a trump-ass way. I don't need the military I don't need to be involved in government. I do just find the civilian role I could be perfectly happy being a private citizen, but I take a personal responsibility to actual service And I owe everything in my life to this country and what it's given me And I just hope more people have that mentality when they join the military or people who have the ability to have those levels of influence Start saying something, you know, like I said, no longer being a coward to your convictions It's okay to say how you feel. It's okay to say the right thing. It's okay to oppose this insane narrative Whether it's transgenderism, uh, or woke policies or things that are damaging our culture and our way of life It's okay to speak out and say those things. That's what debate is for and we need to have those conversations And you know, if they want to go out and cancel me or curse me out, I'm like, you know what dude Guess what? I don't care. Like what do we need? You don't care. We just called you a pedophile rapist Because that's what the Air Force Academy loves to say about me, uh, you know deep dive in Yeah deep dive into that uh real quick is like, you know, when we were going through my case Season of the cover informant, uh, we were going after people that were actually like fucking around with kids So intent district court, uh, they came out and said that but I was a pedophile publicly as part of their evidence Even though I have a security clearance and my background check is published on the internet Uh, and there's nothing about that, but you can't sue the government for defamation or slander or libel So the us government can say whatever they want about you and there's nothing you can do about it So that's they can nuts. Well, they do the same thing against trump, right? Yeah, he's a rapist He did this he really did that but and that's what dumb americans need to hear They hear one bad thing about you said by somebody in a position of authority Then that's obviously the truth and everything that you're saying is a lie Right, and uh, I've just stopped catering to it I've stopped trying to play nice on both sides to get people to like me Uh, I don't care how many followers I lose on instagram I don't give a fuck what you think about me because at the end of the day you are never going to break my morals I know what I stand for and I will defend anyone trying to do the right thing And I will always stick up for people to try to do the right thing and hold people accountable And that's what i'm trying to do with the dreidot act and these podcasts and everything else is Teaching people that it's okay to have the courage to command and come out and speak You know and do the right thing as long as you can, you know walk the talk and all that other stuff, right? Yeah, dude So let me ask you what your thoughts and opinions are on is one of my biggest concerns is that the election is is going to be rigged Right, do you think that some sort there is that chance? Obviously obvious, you know that that is I guess a risk, but um, what do you think happens if biden wins again by a landslide? Yeah, so this is going to be a problem. I've actually Tried to monday back quarterback this a lot in the back of my head um Because there is even though Logically from an outside perspective If there was no actual like corruption in our election system There's no reason that trunks shouldn't win in a landslide It doesn't it doesn't make sense that he wouldn't it doesn't make any sense from a rational perspective Like anyone would vote for the current administration with how bad the state of the united states is in terms of economics You know inflation and everything else it doesn't make any sense Which is why this whole that's why i discussed the whole migrant issue, right? I think that's how they would pull it off If they do because you can't say rig but you can say Influence if they influence the election to where biden would win again, it would be through the migrant vote, right? Right, um, I know that if I know for I'm sorry if I could quote and I was gonna say I Uh, I saved something because I wanted to bring it up in this in this episode because I had a feeling we'd go here But there's an old Aristotle quote right about this is uh, it says the guard of a legitimate king is composed of citizens That of a tyrant is composed of foreigners and that is that's eriston And that's exactly it's it's it's crazy because it's almost like he could be talking about today It is and the and here's the biggest issue though is that People think january some people think january six was an insurrection Okay, there was a time in this country and let's just be a hundred percent honest about our own history This was kind of going on in the early 90s, right? You had Waco You had ruby ridge And you had the oklahoma city bombing there are a group of white nationalists in this country That do you think that the government is massively corrupt who do you have military training and experience, right? And they will take action and start killing people domestically. Yeah, right that has happened that could happen again and I I truly believe and like as a guy who was deployed on january after january six, right? Like I've seen what's how the sausage is made I I truly and like I said the risk of civil war is low because we're not losing our food water and electricity Right once you start those things start disappearing then you're talking about I'm yep, you're gonna go to your neighbor's house and steal bag of flour and blows car up like I said before the social the social Glue that holds us all together only lasts as long as the food and water hold out Correct. So I don't think you're gonna say like a so-called civil war Right, but I do I do believe that there would be a resurgence of domestic terrorism Whether that's by foreign actors or even like hardcore You know, like there's a lot of militia groups out west man There's a lot of militia groups that do this stuff, right? And it's you know, that's one thing you have to give the democratic party. They are correct There are white, you know, nationalist neo-nazi groups in the united states now nation in Montana, right and I would say that there is a it is likely using intelligence terminology because nothing is a hundred percent It is very likely that there would be a resurgence of domestic terrorism in the united states and anti-government action Uh, that would fight various agencies If if Biden won election By easy. There's a lot of people in west Virginia. You don't want to mess with that's one country That's one state that China would never be able to invade is west Virginia and Montana, right? This is an aching a fucking happen dude good fucking luck um And that's that's sad and that's unfortunate right because that you're talking A whole different level of domestic fuckery, right? Because then you're putting americans are gonna start putting themselves against each other Uh, then you're gonna have the whole you know, the whole anti-atf story that came out of waco, right? You're gonna see all that stuff start coming back because those same agents were there at Ruby Ridge Oh, I know But the worst part is Unless trump can come in and clean house with the department of justice these federal agencies, which he says he's going to do um You are talking about an american population now that no longer trusts its federal law enforcement agencies its department of justice And you may see a lot of interesting situations happen after that You know sites the states might become more isolated taxes might try to succeed Like all that type of crazy talk might start coming out of the woodwork again And that's not what we want, but you know who does want that Russia and china and everyone else They want us to internally destroy ourselves so they can take over all the shit that we're not paying attention to Right x has it a lot Do you know what's what's your quote? Zach? Say it all. I quote say it's a freaking quote. It's a miracle. I'm not fall from the outside Fall from within Yeah Well, that's a whole roman analogy, right? I mean as much as people would beat that with a dead horse. It's it's not wrong No, there's there's a lot of uh similarities and we've had we've had podcast episodes where we've talked about the uh similarities They're not all it's it's I like to say that history doesn't always repeat itself, but it definitely rhymes And that because there's a lot of different things that that line up But one of the things you talked about on um to mike's live that I wanted to bring up is you mentioned about a cyber security attack that happened um at the uh I think gas plant that you worked out. Am I correct in saying that? Yep Yep, or refinery. So so that is actually the biggest threat from my ran in china Um, they don't need to they don't need to fire bullets at us All our we are americans are so Knive to how good we have it because we're separated from the rest of the world by two oceans. Okay They take this type of security stuff way more serious overseas because they're all connected and they can just jump borders in the poland and frans and german and everything else Right in the middle east and where else such is But the way they can touch us is the internet And our cyber security in the state that it is fucking sucks. It is not good. We we are totally Uh, not paying attention to that and even it already happened once in florida. This is public knowledge So I ran hacked into a wastewater treatment plant in florida And thank god there was an operator on call there. But what happened was is they started opening up the valve of uh Hypochlorite, which is the chemical name for bleach And they started dumping extra bleach into the wastewater treatment system, which would poison the water We do put bleach into water, but it's a kill bacteria, but it's an extremely small percentage Right, but what they but if that guy wasn't there manually watching that Um kind of poison hundreds of thousands of people and kill them You know what I mean? And that's also why like my refinery, uh, the commerce city refinery was built in 1934 Ironically, there's two valves at the refiner that self nazi swastikas on them because they were manufactured in germany prior to world war two And that steel was made that was so good. So I don't know if you know this Fun nerd fact is that all steel made before 1945 Is better than the steel made now because after the the nuclear bomb testing started and nukes went off and Hiroshima nagasaki And it actually causes, uh, I figured what it's called like electron valence deterioration And all steel that's made after world war two is shittier and can never be made better But all the steel prior to that is better So like the steel valves that we have at the refiner that are prior to the nukes going off are indestructible They like don't deteriorate So if it's not broke, don't fix it right and that's actually where the chinese Ironically right now or out there in the pacific And they are going down to all the sunken warships out there and resurrecting them to steal the The metal on them so they can smelt it back down and make complex Expensive medical equipment and things that can't be made with current steel Um, that's a true story, right? So one thing that our refiner does and what most critical infrastructure plants do in the united states is that we have an intran that That is completely hardline Separated from anything that could be connected to the internet Wi-Fi or bluetooth for a reason And the reason that is is because if they do gain control of something like that We are fucked Uh, it is really really bad when you can shut that you don't even have to bomb the power Great old guy do is mess up like three of the computers, you know, and then that's it right and we had a cyber attack uh, where How much I can say I can't say too much specifically because the canadians will get mad at me because I work for a canadian company um What happened was is that can we were sitting there? Yeah, so this one canadian refinery in the united states. It's his denver colorado and I work for them um But what happened was is that they got It was a phishing email And the email got sent out saying like oh my company is offering free tires to all the employees if you click on this link Like obviously a phishing email and some dude some dude in a social security number in Yeah, some guy who doesn't know how to use a fucking flip phone clicked on it and it entered the entire Uh outside internal web so we have two computer systems One is used for email domestic trafficking ms microsoft teams Everything else and the other one runs the actual systems But that system is separate from our work computers and he clicked that and it dude it it destroyed Everything at the refinery like I had to go actually physically walk to other control rooms to have conversations because I couldn't email them I couldn't make a phone call anything like they everything had to be done in manual and we can run the refinery manual, but it's so Labor intensive, you know, we had the right manual tickets to sell gasoline to trucks We had to do manual stock trading, you know for oil pricing and stuff like 1970s style Yeah, it was wild dude like for for six months it completely crippled the entire those Exists right they do but we also reduce capacity because all that stuff runs off of automation now, right? So we are a hundred thousand barrel facility. We were crippled down to 65,000 a day Which caused a fuel crisis in Colorado, right? So we we provide All the fuel for the airport and everything else if we shut down di which is a third busiest airport in the country shuts down, right? So the ski resorts the snow plows the airplanes We were only producing a certain amount of fuel so fuel prices skyrocketed in the state of Colorado for a couple months and The government like the domestic government like Jared polis the governor was making exclusive fuel deals With my refinery to ensure that the snow plows and the cop cars and the fighter jets at buckley air force base had enough fuel to do their job right and Like we couldn't even meet diesel particulate standards because one of the computers was shut down because we couldn't They couldn't do the mixing correctly. So diesel fuel can only be sold at 15 parts per million and we had to sell it at like 65 You know, but we had an exemption because it was just like fuck it. We need diesel fuel. We don't care You know what I mean? Like it's amazing how many people all we need EVs. We needed all this ship But then all of a sudden when it shuts down it caught you think toilet paper is bad See what happens when your our refinery is shut down If our if our refinery shuts down or refineries in general the United States has three days of fuel So adam you you work at a place like this you're familiar with the term telemetry then right? Grab so exactly I had an episode it's called what is an active war? I'm not sure if you saw it or listened to it But one of the things we talked about heavily is cyber warfare cyber attacks the United States Kind of defining what an active war would be and um, but I just want to paint a picture and I don't want to scare people But this is a reality, right? There's something called fake telemetry if you were in a natural gas plant What the the automation process is that those plants do is they measure the pressure in these gas lines and when somebody starts using it Obviously, the pressure goes down so they increase automatically the pressure that goes through those lines so you can keep pumping natural gas in your home for whatever reason Well, let's just say Yes, exactly, which which is a supervisory control and data acquisition, right? Which is what that's what that skater means and um, essentially what can happen? You have these attacks is it reports that the pressure is going down in these lines And so the automation piece pumps all of this gas into these lines to keep up with what's being used But nothing's being used and then it causes an explosion or whatever else These are I say that to to not get like super technical but to say that This is exactly what could happen and could happen very easily and has happened in our country before You know and people don't understand that you know when they they use the natural gas in their home They they just turn you know turn on the water and it heats the heats the water for their bathtub for their kid or whatever But these these attacks are very very real and um, they're very one of the ways that Exactly like a country like China or Russia or Iran would would try to degrade us should something happen Um, and we go to war with them that those sorts of attacks would become prominent And um, I wanted to ask you, you know, like do you do you think that To use your example about the bleach water if that harm Let's say, you know, let's just use a round number right five thousand americans and maybe killed a few people Do you think something like that should be considered if you could trace it back and say yes, that's a that's a state sponsored Group in Iran. That's that should be considered an act of war Yeah, 100 percent Yeah, you're killing americans and you're affecting critical infrastructure. So yeah, mm-hmm So shouldn't just an act of attacking critical infrastructure be considered an act of war Yeah, absolutely. I mean that's what that's what is going to protect your population is your domestic services infrastructure, right? You affecting that. I mean, that's what Lindsey Graham had the genius fucking idea of saying we should bomb every guy ran in refinery Don't do that. It's a bad idea. Um, you take you take away their source of producing money And they have no way of getting money and now they can't support their population with domestic services and health care Then they're definitely going to kill you. Um, you know, I mean, but since but same thing here, right? You affect our critical infrastructure. It will kill Old people and I don't mean that in a bad way, but like Americans are so tied to their medical facilities and medicines and electricity You shut down the power in oklahoma when it's negative 40 degrees outside in the middle of the winter time I don't know if you guys remember a couple of years ago in the polar vortex when that pipeline went down And a bunch of people actually legitimately froze to death Right it will kill you Uh, that's why I have a generator my own fuel supply my own water will because I don't fucking trust the government on anything Um You know what I mean, and it's and I'm not saying like hey being a preppers bad idea, but be a self-sufficient american man like you gotta Don't be you know like these food deserts, which are cities, right? Um grocery stores go down or they run out of food. I mean to be sure all the story and covid right people were losing their minds over toilet paper And bread and milk and it's just like Uh, it's one thing I noticed when I was torn in the caribbean when I came back I went on vacation for a little bit and one thing about these islands is They are so dependent on shipping every day after they rid of the slave trade and the sugar cane manufacturing facilities They even though they have beautiful agricultural land from all the slave work Uh, they depend on their food every day to be imported and when covid happened the ship stopped coming So countries like barbatos kits and nevins all these other places they were just like Hey, we need to change how we do things we start growing our own food because At the end of the day if the world stops sending a shipping containers full of supplies that we need we're just going to die You know, there these are islands in the caribbean ocean, right? I think covid had that effect for the entire world It kind of realized that everybody is too dependent on china because ever since covid china has lost A significant portion of of what it exports and people are going to alternative countries India has has sort of reeked the benefits of that And so I guess you could kind of say that that's a positive that came out of covid But it's true man. There's a lot of things like that that people are too dependent on and a lot of people don't I'll tell you right now. I mean if there's an emp that happened tomorrow Everybody pretty much in my neighborhood Let's just say would be completely and woefully unprepared and there would be just massive massive amounts of chaos Well, it's kind of funny because the us government actually anticipated this during world war two And we don't talk about this much. It's actually why Before covid happened because I I got lucky and I got 12 acres of land out here And I'm like why need to do something with this land. I can't just sit here. So I I'm an engineer by trade. So I started doing some research on this and in world war two There's this program run by the us department of agriculture called the victory garden initiative Right and victory gardens. Whereas where the us government mailed every citizen in the United States pamphlets and how to grow food and anywhere from alleyways in chicago to any type of dirt and field environments You can grow your own vegetables grow your own food to help the war effort because we're sending so much of our stuff to europe And it was supposed to make american more self-sufficient, right? And this is why like women Living as homemakers or men learning how to farm and teaching your kids have do this stuff is so good for american culture of values Right is you're teaching your kids with hard work and everything else's but you know Women are helping take care and raise the family while the men are going off to war and vice versa or whatever else You can get to that whole gender role argument But at the end of the day americans learned how to farm americans learned how to be self-sufficient And one thing you know that amazon has fucked the sober completely You know with it's amazon prime two-day shipping and everything else is that americans are forgetting how to be americans Right even anyone who's watched 1883 or yellowstone any of those things You know, that's what when people overseas think of americans They think of like we're all cowboys running around, you know doing all this crazy shit from the most part, yeah and it's That's what russia prides itself into russia's still heavily Even teaches in its schools about how to domestically farm and take care of your homeland and everything else And that's one thing I encourage all americans to do. I I got this great book off of amazon if you can find them Uh, it was written in 1987 is by this guy named bob tomsen And it's called the modern or the new victory garden And what this guy did was is he took all of the old world war two pamphlets and put them together And made a modern farming book for the modern american even in the late 80s Right and and then I got this other book called uh self-sufficiency on a quarter acre Right and it taught me how to build an agricultural growing system with chickens and everything else where I could sustain my My own family by doing it. I thought it was super fun Like I thought this would be like a fun project to do because uh, I just like building shit And then covid happened Right and all of a sudden i'm just like I don't need to go to the grocery store. I'm growing all my own food this spring and summer and I got chickens I can eggs all day. I don't fucking care. I can kill my own chickens and make my own meat So uh one thing I one thing I think that would unify the country even through this whole um political upheaval and everything else that's going on is Learn how to be an american again Right go out learn who your neighbors are find a hobby that you're good at whether that's Punching leather or fixing cars or basic skills and uh try to go grow some shit One it takes your mind of all the dumb shit that's going on in this country And two it teaches you a fun skill and I will tell you it's super satisfying There's nothing more relaxing to me than working in my farm And and growing stuff and driving around on my tractor and making shit grow and like making my own food like dude I go to the grocery store like maybe once a month When that is just like pick up stakes if I want stakes, you know what I mean? And here's the other thing too is when you learn how to do things for yourself You take control away from the government exactly and it's cheaper Like I can't yeah, you got to put some money up front building your infrastructure about the end of the day Man, my gristling those are like a third a third of what they used to because I just have to go to the grocery store Like every week to pick up stuff and yeah No, but when you when you're gonna get cows, okay, big animals are kind of a pain in the ass But yeah, um, I'm not there. You start butchering your own cows, Adam When are you gonna start doing that? I butcher my own chickens and they're great fucking love it Um, but like one thing I'm starting this year is uh, I'm gonna learn how to do bees So I already bought a bunch of hives and I'm gonna and that also increases Yeah, it also increases your uh, your food production because they pollinate all the trees and stuff Well, so I went out and two years ago. I planted a bunch of fruit trees and all this other stuff And I'll see what it turns into but this is what I'm hoping or you know Whatever my future kids end up being uh teaching my kids how to live off the land and grow stuff because it's so much better than sticking If I see one more parent stick to fucking kids in front of an iPad I'm gonna I'm gonna take the tires off the car and throw them off the cliff You know what I mean? Like Why are you teaching? Why are you teaching your kids all this dumb shit? That's completely irrelevant when you can go outside and teach them how to grow stuff Go plant go play in the dirt go get hurt learn how to sharpen knives I don't know playing with matches is fun. If you're learning how to start a fire, you know what I mean? Like it's okay to do these things I think that's exactly one of the biggest fucking problems in an american society today is that kids don't go outside and play more As simple as that fucking sounds like dude. I grew up that way. I grew up playing outside My parents wouldn't see me all fucking day like dude. There were times I work. I yeah, dude Like I I know for a fact I've given my mom fits and I was an adult describing the things I've done when I was nine years old and people that I would Run into two miles away from the house at the fucking you know strip mall. She's like you were at the strip mall It's like yeah, I was at the strip mall and I made it back and I was okay because that my fucking bike and five of my other friends You know just just being together, dude That's nothing running around on your bikes, right? It's fitness. Exactly. Go go play contact sports Like you're you as parents out there go play contact sports go get hurt Do karate do soccer get kicked in the nuts get punched in the face get in fights Because if you don't learn this if you're going to grow up to be a weak american I think too that that people don't talk enough about is what playing outside and being gone All day does to you is it teaches you self-reliance it teaches you to be okay without your parents It teaches you how to create relationships with people it teaches you all of these things that are skills as an adult And it's very evident why adults like gen z adults Don't have these skills because they didn't fucking do it growing up They don't know how to fucking this is this is one of the biggest reasons and I will die in this hill Why there's such a mental health crisis in the military with with gen z the gen z group Is because they can't handle being away from their family? They can't handle they don't understand what it means to be resilient truly and i'm not saying that to bash them I'm saying that they did not grow up the same way a lot of people and there are a lot of reasons why Mental health is bad in the military for sure and we can have a whole I mean We just put put our episode out um this week with Ian Rowan about that, but it's true I'm just gen z's in general. I think that's one of the biggest reasons why is is they just didn't play outside They weren't gone all day. They didn't learn how to be okay without mommy and daddy for 8-10 hours out of the day every day during the summer And so many applicants when I was recruiting that We're like so scared to like leave this town or like like wait I gotta go down to like texas for eight eight and a half weeks. Yeah Like but the military is in a city. What do I go after that? I was like, I don't know they'll tell you when you get there Like could be turkey don't worry about it You might I might have to live in japan Like what like yeah, it's fine man. Like you'll you'll figure it out. It's okay But like they're just so people really need to people need to travel good other countries Have a deep appreciation of america by realizing what third world countries are really like Um, dude. Yeah, you know learn how to do the basics learn how to learn how to fix cars Learn how to change your oil learn how to grow some plants You know and your kids don't need 10,000 toys off of amazon You know what they need? They need a shovel and a fucking pocket knife. Get outside. Yep, and you'll be all right My dad did that Homer said do my dad have my ass out there fucking mowing the gross when I was fucking eight Both, you know, just I was out there doing the neighbor's yard too because her husband was deployed You know, it's just one of those things man. That's how I grew up and I did but it took me out Take me out to like go on hikes and stuff and we would get out in the middle of nowhere And then he'd be like all right zach get us back to the car And he would just follow me. I would just be like, I think we came this way dad And he'd be like, yeah, all right cool. Yeah, let's go that way man You know, like Right, and sometimes it gets back to the car and sometimes I wouldn't but I had learned I learned how to navigate woods How to remember routes that I took it was Isn't it crazy that all of these things these problems get rooted back in the traditional nuclear family as being the solution? Yep That's why I had a hard core down strong fathers loving mothers Right Well Yeah Could not agree more man. Um, but it was a pleasure having you on bro Um, I really really really enjoyed this conversation. You are Incredibly smart and no a fuckload. Um, it would like to have you back on that again. It's captivated listening I was just like what? Honestly. Yeah, I'm just gonna listen. I don't have any in anything to say here. I'm just gonna listen No, dude. I really could mean I you really should I don't know if you have plans on it But you should definitely write a book about some of the shit that you've you've endured. I mean, is there any sort of plans Yeah, I'm working on that. You know, there's a lot of things going behind this you and my congressional stuff So we'll see what that brings in the future. I won't say much about it now, but uh, sure I'm not quitting. Let's put it that way Hope it all works out. Hope you finally get mm-hmm what you deserve You have a presence on social media as well, man. Where can people find you? Yeah, speaking to adam dot dorito 2010 Uh, which is my class graduating here from the academy on instagram facebook twitter And uh adamandorito.com about my mission my case working what i'm doing And I also run the dark saber podcast about the earth force academy And then the embark podcast is interviewing everyday americans doing amazing things. So Awesome, man Well, dude. Thank you very much for coming on and um, you know, please go check out adam on social media I follow him he posts a lot of uh interesting stuff and is somebody who spent a career in the air force it is uh Altogether not surprising and humorous in a very dark way to see some of the things that people Send out adam and uh, you would be mind blown if you don't follow him to see some of the things that that go on so um But anyway, thank you again for coming on bro. Uh, and uh, this has been another episode of i came with fire podcast And um, everybody have a good night
