Friday 31st October Year Overlord 2025 that was. Well, let's bring in Cleo Pascal. By the way, we're going to talk about this very special event that's happening right now. And to give the audience a heads up, the President States is going to be leaving, departing the White House momentarily. Can we get that beautif. Do we have the establishing shot of the White House? The leaves are starting to change here in Washington, D.C. and the White House looks absolutely spectacular. President Trump had the trick or treat and now I realize they had it yesterday because he is leaving this afternoon. In fact, he's leaving momentarily. We'll cover that and also we will cover the. I'm sure he's going to have a few minutes to share with the media. Let's go to. I want to start. Cleo, why don't you set the. You brought this to my attention and I'm glad you did. Why don't you, you talk to us about what is this all about? What did we just see?

So there are still many, many Americans left to be brought home who fought in battles around the world. And there are some people, including the people who are with History Flight, who are trying to find them. History Flight is, it's a private charity. They've been doing this on the ground forever. They first came to my ATT because I've been looking at what the Chinese are doing in places like Tarawa. And History Flight is on the ground in Tarawa trying to find those men and bring them home. And when they do, they get a little bit touched by what we just saw. They get full honors, they get brought home, they get reunited with their families if they can find them. Which is why it's very important if you have missing family members to let the Department of Defense know. So that or history flights or Something like them so that they can do the DNA matches because there are also bodies that are waiting to be identified. History Flight was founded by Mark Noah, who's an aviation fanatic enthusiast and so had the capability to do the transport and get around and know what was going on. And also Sergeant Major Justin Lahe, who is the hero of Nazarea. Navy Cross winner, an unbelievable retired Marine who at this very moment is walking from ground zero from the memorial site of the Twin Towers in New York to Quantico. He's walking 250 miles to arrive at Quantico on the 250th anniversary of the founding of the Marine Corps. Because next year they want to bring 250 more men home. So that's one of the History Flight events that you saw. And that's what's going on right now. Now you'll see him walking through. I hope he's escaped New Jersey now, but he'll be by the side of the road. He's with another Marine. He gets joined along the way and he's done other walks. The map that you have up now is the one that they did across the entire country. It's called the Long Road. And you can go to historyflight.com to hear more about History Flight. And the Long Road also tracks their route.

B
Let's bring in Sergeant Major Justin Lahue. Sergeant Major, walk us through again. So I understand this. You've left Ground zero. You're walking to Quantico. You're going to arrive On Monday, the 250th commemoration of the birthday of the birth of the Marine Corps. Just take us through the whole thing, the logistics of it. What are you doing and why are you doing this?

Steve, thanks for having me on in Clio. I don't think that could have been a better, more encapsulating intro. So kudos to you. We started this on October 26th. This is about the fourth leg of our 2022 continuation journey. In 2023, it was 300 miles, arriving at the Pentagon on National POW MIA Day. 2024 was all the way across. One hundred and twenty miles across the Florida Keys, highlighting the history of the Florida Keys, the military history of that region. And then this year was from ground0 On 9 11, we really started at Fort Hamilton, very historic Fort Hamilton, as everybody should be aware. And we've been covering 20 miles a day, 20 to 40 pounds packs. And for the 250, it's 250 miles for the 250th anniversary of the World's finest fighting force. And we're currently Last night we walked into Philadelphia and Philadelphia is the home base. It's ground zero. It's the birthplace of the United States Marine Corps. Just held a fabulous ceremony here for the city just about a week and a half ago and went down to the Sun Tavern sign. We are going to continue. We took a day off today, going to continue on down the road through Wilmington, Delaware, down through Baltimore, Fort McHenry, down through Washington D.C. the Marine Barracks, the War Memorial, the 911 site, the Pentagon, past Arlington National Cemetery. Remembering all those for veterans who has fallen and in the service of their nation or served in the service of their nation and then ending up at a cake cutting ceremony on 10th November at the beautiful and historic National Museum of the Marine Corps. And a few years ago, Steve, I walked into a post office in 2022. We were coming out of the pandemic shutdown that really killed a lot of international operations and recovery of our service members abroad. And it was I found out that that black POW MIA flag that flies over every federal installation, every post office and is the only flag that is authorized to fly underneath the American colors in all 50 states and territories. Now, if you're from Iowa, you can fly the Iowa flag underneath the US colors. You're from Ohio, the Ohio flag, but there's only one other flag all the way across our nation that's authorized to fly in all of those states and territories and that's the black and white POW MIA flag. And I found that people were really forgetting why that was created and what that was. And I walked into a post office to mail a package. In spring of 2022, I talked to a very nice young lady and had a tattered POW MIA flag. I asked if I could replace that for them. They said that they had that on order. And when I, when I kind of walked out after paying on the package and I offered to put one up for them again, she just stopped me and she said, can I ask you why that matters so much? I've worked here a long time and a lot of people ask to replace the American flag, but no one has ever asked to replace that flag. And you're the first one. And after about five minutes of talking to her, that woman was in tears and she said, I will get right on that, sir. And when I walked past that post office the following morning, that flag was up. And I figured, you know, if I can have a five minute conversation and do that with one person, you know, maybe I could walk across the nation or do a few other things and go where the rubber meets the road and talk to individuals and get out there in the hometowns of America and remind people what that flag means and that service and sacrifice. So it's an incredible honor right now walking 250 miles. We were in a rainstorm yesterday, about 50 mile per hour wind gusts. A lot of people saying, hey, you knew that weather was coming. Why didn't you just take the day off yesterday? And it was like, you know what? Since 1775, our nation and Marines have hiked in a lot worse weather than that. And it was an honor and a privilege to be able to walk into the beautiful city of Philadelphia yesterday under those conditions, representing 250 years of the United States Marine Corps. So that's a little bit the tidbit of why we're doing what we do, a little bit of motivation behind that. Steve. And again, thanks for having me on the program today.

Sergeant Major. We had the after 17 years, we had the first premiere of the Last 600 Meters, a film that Michael Pack wrote and directed, I produced with his wife. And for 17 years it's been suppressed by the PBS who paid for it. And so we screened it for an audience of Marines last night who were actually in the film. And it's the battle of First Fallujah, Najaf and Second Fallujah. We got a couple of minutes here. I'm going to hold you through the break. But one of the young Marines who's not young now, the film was really made 20 years ago, said that the thing that got him about the Marine Corps when he first showed up is the sense of history that they instill in you every day. Give me a minute or so about that before we go to break, sir.
- [13:11]
D
Well, Steve, this is, it's coincidence that you said that because I was the first sergeant in Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 4th Marines and I fought in that four and a half square mile cemetery on August 5th to August 28th of 2004. One of the finest fighting units that I think America has ever put on the field of battle. I mean everywhere that you look, nobody teaches you how to fight inside of a cemetery. Everywhere you see, look, 125 degrees on the ground, 40 pounds of kit on, on these Marines I had 162 of the greatest warriors that anybody has ever put on the battlefield, I think in the history of the world. And we pushed into that cemetery and fought for those 25 days to secure elections, to secure a very hostile city and basically be the first ones fighting the house to house, street to street, that just a couple of months later, units like 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines and all of that were going to push into the city of Fallujah. Najaf set the precedence for that. U.S. marines have been fighting hand to hand and house to house and street to street like that since 1775. And because we have people like that, Steve, we're going to be fighting, fighting like that because we're Americans, we were born in war, we're gonna fight like that for the next 250 years for our survival. And God bless. We have an organization like the Marine Corps that's gonna do more than their share for that.

Okay, Sergeant Major Justin Lahue is with us, the hero of Nazarea. But let me go back for a second to talk about Najaf. I want to make sure, as we roll up to the 250th commemoration of the birth of the United States Marine Corps, now more than ever, as we're trying to unwind ourselves, remember we're the anti get involved in Ukraine show. It's also the Middle East. We got to watch all these things now in Venezuela, when we commit American troops, we have to commit American troops to win, we have to unleash them. You only committed if you're in it. If you're in this to win it. And last night it was very painful to sit through First Fallujah, Najaf and Second Fallujah. The climax of every scene is the Marines fight through with, with army assistance, the Marines fight through. They reach their objective at the very moment when they reach their objective, which is victory. They are shut down by the U.S. government. In First Fallujah, in Najaf, in Second Fallujah. And really the Najaf's the worst. Sergeant Major, I think it took you 30 days. The cemetery is unbelievable. It's, I don't know, three, four times the size of the one in New Orleans. All above ground. It was 115 to 125 degrees. You guys fought really tomb by tomb. And then you got into the city, you got into the old city, you fought block by block to get to the mosque. What was that like, sir?
- [18:32]
C
You know, nothing, as we said in the earlier segment, nothing really prepares you for looking out into a cemetery and in the direction of north, southeast and west. And as far as the eye can see to the horizon is nothing but above ground tombs, crypts. And on August 5th, when you're getting an order at 130 degrees of heat that day, roughly about 4pm in the afternoon, that says, you know what, we're going to take it to the enemy now because these were exclusionary zones before. When we first took over Najaf from the US army, we were, we were briefed that there were certain areas like Cooper and the cemetery that were off limits. They were red zones, exclusionary zones. You cannot go in there. And the Marines instantly knew, well, that's where they're at. So when we took over and a Police station was attacked and a helicopter was hit. On August 5, it was, we're going to pivot to those areas and we're going to start putting bayonets on weapons. And we're going to route tomb to tomb and street to street, and we're going to clear 4 and 5 and 600 meters of this from stone to stone, above and both below ground. There is no amount of training or sitting in a school arena that ever has prepared Marines to fight in a cemetery that is thousands of years old and is about 5 square miles. People cannot even encapsulate that inside of their head. And when you have the best people, the most tested people, the best grown military and the United States Marine Corps are putting in, you know, we don't leave our dead and wounded on the battlefield. We only go forward. We don't go backwards. Once you unleash that on the enemy, if you let that continue to go, they are going to route out every position, they're going to route out every insurgent, they are going to secure every block, and they are going to hold every position and every line in any place that you send them around the world. That is the confidence level that we had in 1st Battalion, 4th Marines when we were in the cemetery fighting Ajjah. Steve that was the confidence level I had when I rolled into the invasion of Iraq in 2003 on March 23 in Nasiriya. And that was a confidence level that I had in 1991, and you name it, that was imbued in me as a young Marine that we fight and we win. We win our nation's battles, and we are in a nation that we have the most powerful military on the face of human existence to do that. And we have a military, unlike a lot of other countries, that is not controlled in a martial society. And I do believe that the United States, you know, rules of engagement come up all the time. I believe more than probably any country that's been out there, the United States has adhered to more of. You hear of atrocities and a few other things, but not at the scale when you deal with U.S. troops, United States troops, when they're unleashed onto an objective. Steve we call it controlled chaos. We know exactly what we're doing. We know the missions at hand. We know the target set that we need to employ, and we know the objective before we even start onto the issue. So being an implementation of that kind of policy on the ground gives you, you know, north, south, east and west and the man to your left and your right, it gives you the utmost confidence that there is no nation on the world that is ever going to take a piece of ground away from a U.S. marine.

B
Talk to me about. So the best review the film ever got was 15 years ago when Michael and I were taking it around and showing some Marine Corps groups. And Michael lined up a group in, I think it was in Northern California, and it was alumni of World War II, the greatest generation. It was the Force Recon Marines of Peleliu and Tarawa, which I would argue are the best of the best. They watched this film of you guys in Fallujah, in Najaf, and in second Fallujah going tomb to tomb, going door to door, kicking down doors. You know, what is it, a million rooms in Fallujah when they. When finally the Marines went through there for the second battle, and at the end of it, one of the Marines and had to be in his 80s or 90s at that time, said, I can't believe the valor and courage of these young guys. And of course, Michael goes, well, hang on, what are you talking about?
- [23:30]
A
You're the.
- [23:30]
B
You're forced recon of two of the most historic amphibious landings in not just Marine Corps history, but human history. And the guy said, hey, look, we were 17 or 18 years old. We were trained just. You hit the beach, you clear cut everything in front of you. You know, you don't ask a question. You just go. And you do not back up an inch. You just go. He says, here, going door to door, and all the pressure and tension of the little children and women running around, he says, you know, that's a very different war. He said, that would be 100 times harder. And I'm sitting there going, wow, Tarawa and Peleliu, the best of the best, the hardest of the hard. Sitting there and talking about what the Marines is one of the reasons I've worked so hard with Michael to make sure this picture gets out there, because you see, and this is nothing but grit for an hour and a half. And the reason is it's how Marines live their life day to day in combat. The whole film, 90 minutes, you're in combat the entire time. There's no strategy. There's no big picture. There's nothing about the politics of the war. It's just Marines, what they do every day. But this is why I'm so intrigued by your walk. People don't realize at Terrawa and Peleliu and other these places in the Pacific, which is so important to the United States today geopolitically, this is so important. They're men who have not been brought home. Can you tell us about that for a second? Because I think the audience is going to be shocked that we actually have. And it's not a government effort, it's kind of a private charity effort to do this. Can you walk us through what exactly is happening with Tarawa and Peleliu?
- [25:04]
C
Absolutely. Steve Tarot Most people don't know the Kiribati island chains. When you're talking about island chains in the Pacific and you're always hearing about the first island chain and you're always hearing about strategic impacts out there in the first island chain, Brothers. What most people don't look or aware of is when you have an overabundance of concentration, say the Senkaku Islands or these contested areas between the slots in the Philippines. And that what has happened is on the 20th of November in 1943, 18,000 marines took on 4,600 Japanese Ruka Sentai. Japanese Marines are special Naval landing battalion individuals. Admiral Shibasaki, Kenji Shibasaki said it would take a million men 100 years to take the island to Tarawa. It took the U.S. marine Corps 76 hours. And upon those 76 hours in that brutal hellish condition where basically there almost wasn't a living thing across that 800 meter wide, a mile and a half long spit once the Marines secured that island, that was the test case for Admiral Nemesis Island Hopping campaign. I mean Guadalcanal was right before that, you know, the Makin island raid. Every one of these pieces were testing how much farther we can go, what kind of equipment we're going to need. Push, push, push. Tarawa was the first full scale amphibious invasion that put people on a bayonet point and just rooted them out. There was only 17 Japanese survivors divers on that island. And one of them said that we thought we had the Marines dead to rights. Out 700 meters into the water is a reef that circles the island of Tarawa Basio. And he said we thought we had them. We saw all their landing boats stop right there. We saw the Marines start to spill out over the sides and they started to have to wade to shore. 700 meters and the Japanese were just, just slaying them in the water before they could get. And then he said my troops were emboldened, we were going to win. And then he said we saw then these landing craft crawl up over the reef with Marines inside like spiders and then start crawling more and more towards us and they just would not stop. And he looked at his troops and he said, the gods of death have come. This has secured our fate.
- [27:32]
D
We're all going to die here.
- [27:35]
C
That was the test to take those amphibious landing craft and those assault forces of marines that were going to then move into Saipan, into Kenyan, into Kwajalein and just push all the way up into Japan by the end of that battle.

B
I don't know if we could have a more signal, not noise start to our show. And yes we got a lot of politics to cover, a lot of economics, a lot of capital markets. But you have to separate out the most important thing and one is that we don't leave our dead on a battlefield. This, this thing. Correct me if I'm wrong, Sergeant Major. I think it was history flight a couple years ago. Didn't they say it was at Tarawa? I'm pretty sure not Peleliu, that they found some of these bodies. It was underneath a the tarmac of the Runway they had built there that somehow they've been under there. But the 300 bodies. There's 300 bodies of Marines who died in combat that are scattered around Tarawa somewhere. Correct. Either under this tarmac or in other places just buried in the sand or just where they fell.
- [30:04]
C
Yeah, that's correct. And what's even more important than that, I think when People see, they think of American cemeteries or burials. They envision Arlington National Cemetery or Omaha beach or something of these really brilliant, beautiful headstones and crosses laid out in these fabulous rows. Well, the problem is out on Tarawa, that's not the case. So on that small little island that's 800 meters wide and about a mile and a half long, there are 541 U.S. marines that were left on that island at the end of the war. And in 1946, the American Graves registration was given a tremendous task, and that task was go all over the world in a year and try to locate and return any of America's fallen and missing in action. Most people don't understand. In 1945, we were celebrating in Times Square and everything, but we're bankrupt as a country after fighting since 1941, and they're given this normal task. So they go out. In some cases, they're told, hey, grab, just get the skulls, because it has dental records. Just get the femur if you can, and move on down the line. Just something to try to get an identification of an individual. And so in 1946, they returned. They consolidate all those records, and then the American government sends out another wave of telegrams. Now, understand, we're getting ready to go into the holiday season here in America, but specifically the Battle of tarawa. Of the 1,000 Marines that were killed as sailors on that island, most of the American families received a telegram that their son was killed on that island, over 1,000 of them, on December 23 and December 24 of 1943. So Christmas decorations are in the windows, Christmas trees are out. Knock on the door, Western Union telegram, Merry Christmas. Your son was just killed on Tarawa. 1946, they get another telegram. Not only was your son killed on Tarawa, we looked for him, and he's still unaccounted for. And then in 1949, must have been the most heartbreaking telegram that said, not only was your son killed, not only is he missing, but we're no longer looking for him. And I found that to be abhorrent because those individuals are not buried underneath these beautiful cemeteries like you and I know. They're buried underneath pigsties. They're buried underneath public urinals with no marking whatsoever of their heroism, valor and sacrifice. They are out there right now because the CCP has moved into a lot of these islands, unobstructed, it seems, and they are doing construction projects. And now there's a. There's a Chinese backhoe or anything else out there on Tarawa just digging up the ground and scooping up American boys and probably, for the most part, just dumping them out in the ocean somewhere, very unceremonially, while they're building the next parking lot. And that is absolutely abhorrent to me, Steve, because that's not just one island. It's like that all through the South Pacific and in other places around the world.
- [33:37]
B
So the purpose I want to make sure that people are focused on, the purpose of your walk is obviously to commemorate the history and tradition of the Marine Corps. But very specifically, you are working with history flights to identify where the actual bodies are on places like Tarawa and other places to get people over there to start looking for them so that we can collect them and bring them home.
- [34:02]
C
Absolutely, Steve. Since I retired from 31 years in the US Marine Corps, I was the Sergeant Major at Training and Education Command with a great commanding general named Major General James Lukeman. And we held a honorary Marine ceremony. And that honorary Marine ceremony, there was less than 100 of those in history. I mean, Chuck Norris is one. There's some children with cancer. It's a hard bar to make. And Mark Noah was being honored that year for his efforts on trying to do this. And that is where Mark and I linked up. So about three years later, when I called it quit is a career Mark and I circle back around again. He asked me after a short interview. I laid out battle histories and everything else, and he said, hey, I'd love for you to come over here and run this organization. I signed on there with him as a great partner, as the chief operating officer and now the chief executive officer. And we have searched with offices in the Philippines, Cabanatuan, Palawan operations going on there. The island of Tarawa, that's still being contested by the Chinese, which we've had work visas frozen out to go back in to get those individuals. Steve, for going on five years now, and the pace is not moving, even contact through the US State Department doesn't seem to move the needle. And a lot of other people that kind of say, well, yeah, we're kind of working on that. Well, I don't know how much, yeah, we're kind of working on that is actually happening.
- [35:43]
B
No, no, we can't tolerate that. Let me President Trump, when we first took office in 17, he put a executive order out about Vietnam and the MIAs, and the POW is still there. What that had. What was it? Correct me. Give me the details. The 56 boxes were sent back, I believe, immediately. What was the outcome of that?
- [36:07]
C
That was in Korea. So, of course, there's no operations going on in North Korea. And that's where a predominant amount of American troops were either incarcerated, died in prison in Chinese prison camps, or were killed outright in North Korea. So in Korea, there's roughly still about 7,400 missing, probably about 5,300 of those are in North Korea. And in 2017, President Trump had negotiated with North Korea to return 55 boxes of remains. Now, in those boxes of remains, those should not be equated to an individual. Those were not just 55 individuals. There were commingled sets of remains inside each of those boxes. And when those were turned over to the Defense POW MIA Agency and their great labs out there in Hawaii, they started to cull through all of the bones and start to run down families, do DNA, try to get some material evidence, whatever they could. And of those 55 boxes and remains, there were about 250 individuals when that was all laid out and all tested that have now been positively identified from those 55 boxes of unilateral turnover of remains. And I really thought at that point, wow, we get it. We're on a trajectory. If we can do that and do that with North Korea, you know, we should be able to do that with just about anybody on this great humanitarian mission around the world. But in a lot of ways, since 2017, access to a lot of those areas, not just in North Korea, but these other contested areas we're talking about, really hasn't opened up the door for this great humanitarian thing we have going on. And a lot of momentum is not being moving forward. And now, you know, these remains that still are out there getting turned up in the ground, Steve, you know, without people, without the money, without the resources, without the passionate people out there to do that, they're going to get lost forever.

Sergeant Major, I'm going to ask for your coordinates. I want everybody to pile into this, but I want to give you a reality check. How many of those remains were men that were killed by the North Koreans and the Chinese after the. At least the armistice or the ceasefire? We don't have. We're not at peace in Korea. Understand the Korea peninsula is still essentially in a suspended state of war between north and South. But when that was agreed to, I think in 1953, that kind of armistice, how many of these Americans that got shipped back were still held in prison camps, being tortured and died in North Korean and Chinese prisons after the armistice?
- [39:06]
C
You know, I don't know if a lot of people can put the number on us, Steve. But you're correct. When I was walking across The Nation in 2022, I, I met a very nice spry couple in their 90s and Cabrera and his wife Madeleine, they were missing. Madeleine's brother, Jack Mather, United States army missing from Korea. Well, he was in POW. He was known to be in POW Camp 5 for a while when the remains and everybody else who died in captivity of POW Camp 5 returned back over at the end of the war. Jack Mather, a known pow his remains was never turned back over or his remains laying an unmarked grave waiting for DNA testing. But there are a lot when that, when that ended and it never ended. I don't think you can put a finger on how many Americans suffered at the hands in those brutal winters up there probably for 1, 2, 3, who knows how many years after that.

B
And in 1946, people, I mean you get a telegram and a couple years later you get another telegram. People just moved on. Well, we ain't moving on anyway. Sergeant Major, your coordinates where they get to where they get to everything about history flight, where they get to everything about your walk. I know you're putting up stuff every day video. We're going to continue to follow this and we'll obviously be there and have people there when you finish on the 10th. The 10th. All day we're going to be celebrating, commemorating the 250th birthday of the United States Marine Corps. Where do people go to get you, sir?

C
Www.historyflight.com for the main overall mission, you'll find a lot of fabulous information about returns, recoveries and things like Cleo was talking about about how to get DNA and how to find and help other families. The walk is www.teamlongroad. that'll give you the overall thing from 2022 with a mission of the Hawaii. We are out there doing it and right now we're streaming Steve on, on multiple social media platforms between X, Facebook and over on LinkedIn to try to capture because not only we out here just raising awareness for that, you know, we're out here to raise funds in the private sector to be able to go after and try to be one of the last hopes a generation or American family has. So, you know, if I'm pulling down between 25k and 50k out here, which is a nice swag window to be, you know, we've been out here for about eight days now and we are getting and generating some donations but we're not in that sweet spot. We got another week and a half to go and every dollar that anybody donates over here, Steve, goes right to the field to give another American family possibly their last chance at hope to bring home their fallen American hero.

We spend $7 trillion a year. What is it we're gonna. Was it 40, $50 billion? Was it the SNAP program that, you know, I think 20% of this, 25% that goes to illegal aliens and foreigners that are not American citizens. And we got dead and unburied Marines on an island in the Pacific. And the Chinese Communist Party is telling us, well, you can't get a work permit to come and get them. It's a hell of a world, isn't it, folks? Okay, let's be honest. You never thought it would get this far.

I think it gives you the strategic situation of Israel, what's going on, but.
- [47:58]
A
It goes through minute by minute of what happened.
- [48:02]
B
And this I think is the reliance on technology. Too much of a reliance on technology.
- [48:09]
A
People that think they got stuff organized and they don't. And this should be a warning to.
- [48:12]
B
The United States about US reliance on technology, etc. In fact, the movie the Last 600 Meters Tonight started out Michael Pack Was going to make a movie about high tech in modern warfare. And he ended up making a film that's Marine rifle platoons going door to door, neighborhood to neighborhood in places like Najaf in Fallujah. So while Israel slept for an entire hour, I'm going to be with Cats. The author to go through it.

Every, from every angle. And I believe we were the first. Steve, we've already tracked ours. We've been working on this all week. I have with lawyers and, and investigators and stuff. And we, they, they went after my pillow as early as early 2022, you guys. They went after my vendors, they went after my banks. We got debanked at three different banks. They went to them, they went after, obviously they took my cell phone in September of 21. They went after everything to do with my pillow. And not just that, they also reached out to phone companies. Verizon, they shut MyPillows Text Marketing. We weren't able to text market whatever they did, dirty deal they did with Verizon. Steve, this goes so deep. It's like, you know, all because why? Because my pillows, my employee owned company, their CEO is out there going, hey, we got problems with our elections. You know what? The 2020 election. We need to look into it. We need to look into the election platforms. Somebody look at this. By the way, everybody remember I've been fighting against these government private contractors, that is voting machines for four and a half years now. So isn't this funny? You have the FBI, the IRS and the DOJ come after me, my pillow and then because I'm talking about, under my freedom of speech to talk about government private contractors. Steve, it's been absolutely disgusting.
- [50:22]
B
So tell me, what are you going to do? And then I want to pivot to.
- [50:26]
A
How we're going to pay for this. You're going to pay for this. Do profits in the company.
- [50:30]
B
And that's where we're going to sell more, more towels, sheets, pillows.
- [50:34]
A
First of all, what, what action are you going to take?
- [50:37]
F
Well, we're looking in right now is what is the process if you go after this. This was in my own government. The FBI, they were blatant. The irs, FBI and the DOJ are the three biggest entities that came after me with full Guns at all sides. And then you couple that with just this week, Smartmatic, a judge In Minnesota finds MyPillow and myself guilty of defaming a corrupt criminal company. Because it's out in the news right now last week. You can't obviously, Steve, our first amendment right of free speech is it at this is everything that happened to my pillow should never happen again in history. We're not gonna seek it lying down. I am going after whatever avenue I can take. I don't know if you can go after the government. The president did the other night, he said, hey, it's like suing myself. It's a great lawsuit. And so we're gonna, we're gonna be making a lot of moves here in the next three, four days. Right now we're just gathering everything damage it did to my pillow. The damage it did to my pillow alone is in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Everybody. This doesn't count. The, this stuff that they did with the machine companies and the cancellation. So you guys have made it possible. You guys, please help us out. It's the last day for the Made in USA sale. All of our MyPillow products that are made right here are mattresses, our pillows, everything that we make the mattress, the bed frames, everything. You can save up to 80%. This is the last day for that. You guys get those mattresses, Mattress toppers. Remember, 60 day money back guarantee on all the USA price.

Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11, a moment that could define Trump's presidency and your financial future.
