Summary

The Antihero Broadcast — January 19, 2026: “ACTIVE DUTY TROOPS STAGED TO DEPLOY IN MINNEAPOLIS”

Episode Overview

This episode of The Antihero Broadcast, hosted by Mike and Cop Bill, delivers news, commentary, and candid discussion tailored for veterans, first responders, and blue-collar Americans. The core focus is the breaking story of 1,500 active-duty US troops being staged (not National Guard, but regular Army soldiers from Alaska) for possible deployment to Minneapolis amid heightened protests against federal immigration enforcement. The show also weaves in frank talk about law enforcement, social media, police-community tensions, national and international political developments, and the weekend’s sports action—anchored by spirited, sometimes irreverent banter.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Troops Staged for Minneapolis: What’s Happening?

Timestamp: 18:56 – 30:21

• News Recap:
  • Reports that President Trump has 1,500 active duty troops (not National Guard) from Alaska staged and ready for possible deployment to Minnesota, in response to escalating protests and confrontations over a deportation drive by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
  • Elon Musk has called for the Insurrection Act to be invoked, which would permit the use of federal troops for domestic law enforcement under certain conditions (19:14).
• Panel Reaction:
  • Both hosts voice unease, seeing this as a slippery slope toward federal overreach and “federalized policing.”
  • Discussion of what the troops might do—mainly logistics and blocking off city blocks, creating perimeters, and providing security for ICE agents.
  • Reflecting on the breakdown of cooperation between local police and ICE, and the lack of street experience among ICE agents, leading to escalating chaos and aggressive encounters (21:11).
  • Notable concern about using overwhelming force after years of little or no enforcement, and how that reflects on US society:

    “More force now is less force later. And we're in the opposite. We had no force before, and now we're at max force and it looks bad for our country.” – Cop Bill [27:59]

• News Details (Read Live):
  • According to Reuters (quoted by Mike), these troops are on a "prepared to deploy" order, should violence worsen.
  • Trump is threatening the Insurrection Act to ensure enforcement continues if local authorities do not cooperate.
  • Mike asks rhetorically what exactly military troops can achieve that ICE and thousands of law enforcement officers can’t already do (25:51).

2. ICE, Policing Tactics, & “The Blue/Gray Patchwork”

Timestamp: 20:04 – 24:46

• ICE’s Current Role:
  • Hosts criticize previous administrations—Obama/Biden—for a “do nothing” approach, with ICE agents languishing in desk jobs and lacking street skills.
  • They note how Trump's directive to “let ICE operate” has put underprepared agents on the streets with insufficient training and support.
  • Local police, often for political reasons, are distancing themselves, making ICE operations more dangerous and less effective.
• Community-Police Relations:
  • Stress on the importance of local cops cooperating with ICE to maintain order and community safety.
  • Discussion about the frustration and tension on both sides, with ICE agents at times resorting to “infantile” or excessive force out of inexperience (21:11).

---

3. Social Media, Blue Check Marks, and Audience Banter

Timestamp: 03:55 – 08:21

• Mike reflects on viral social media posts, blue checkmarks, and the drive for validation.
• Discussion about the utility and justification for blue checkmarks:

  “If you are an average Joe...with a regular Instagram account with 700 followers, you don't need a blue check mark. No one cares who Joe is.” – Mike [04:25]

• Stories about online roasts, the etiquette of tagging people/agencies in criticisms, and the general culture of online debate and ‘gotcha’ moments.

---

4. Reflections on Uvalde, Tactics, & Media Narratives

Timestamp: 08:55 – 17:22

• Hosts revisit their coverage of the Uvalde school shooting, discussing criticism from listeners and local figures (like Jeffrey Badger) who claim their analysis is flawed.
• Strong defense of their perspective:
  • Explaining the difficulty of rapid tactical decision-making in chaotic situations.
  • Emphasis on stepping up and acting when innocent lives are at stake:

    “Hostage innocence police suspect. That's the order. Hostages come first, innocence come second, you have to protect those people. You're third. So they had to go. They had to go under all circumstances.” – Cop Bill [15:10]

• The necessity (and limits) of outsiders critiquing critical events they weren’t present for:

  “You show up and there's 60 dudes not doing something...You have no idea what's going on. It was the worst of worst situations. And yes, there was a lot of cowardice…But you cannot just jump into an operation and just assume authority...” – Mike [10:07]

• Frustration at those who criticize without being willing to come onto the show and engage in serious discourse.

---

5. International Segment: Canada, China, & Piers Morgan’s “Buy America” Tweet

Timestamp: 31:07 – 41:58

Canada Goes “Full China Mode”

• Video and reaction to the Canadian Prime Minister’s overt statements about embracing a “New World Order” partnership with China:

  “I believe the progress that we have made in the partnership sets us up well for the New World Order.” – Canadian PM, as quoted [31:13]

• Hosts’ reactions:
  • Open disdain for Canada’s increasing restrictions ("It’s communism, man").
  • Commentary on severe limits to gun rights for police and the public in Canada, likening their state control to Chinese practices.
  • Noted contrast with American freedom and lawlessness:

    “In America...convicted felons have guns and the cases get dropped by public defender lawyers.” – Mike [34:15]

Piers Morgan’s Satirical Tweet

• Morgan’s tweet suggesting Britain should “re-purchase America”:

  “If you don't sell it to us President Trump, we're going to impose tariffs on the U. S. and any country who supports you in resisting this very good deal.” [38:35]

• Quick dismissal—“We already won that war”—and reflection on broader European unrest, lawlessness, and their own “crumbling societies.”

---

6. Jake Lang: January 6th, Minneapolis, and Free Speech Violence

Timestamp: 42:41 – 63:13

• Who is Jake Lang?
  • Former January 6th defendant, pardoned by Trump, now a Senate candidate in Florida.
  • Recently went to Minneapolis to counter-protest, acted provocatively, and ended up severely beaten and stabbed (45:06).
• Community Reaction:
  • Many online allege he’s a “Jewish plant” or professional agitator.
  • Panel grapples with the principle of free speech:

    “For him to be attacked for exercising his constitutional First Amendment right is absolute Nazi fascist behavior… For people who like to call everybody Nazis and fascists, they sure do like to use physical violence to shut down the speech of anybody who disagrees.” – JD Delay [44:10]

• Hosts’ Critique:
  • “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.” – Mike [60:06]
  • Acknowledgment that he essentially “set a trap, and they took the bait.” Going alone, antagonizing a hostile crowd, was dangerously reckless.

---

7. Local Law Enforcement Reactions and “The Patchwork”

Timestamp: 63:13 – 84:38

• St. Paul vs. Minneapolis:
  • St. Paul police cooperating with ICE, Minneapolis not—a microcosm of divided US policing.
  • Virginia’s new Democratic Governor repeals previous cooperation with ICE, making the commonwealth the latest “sanctuary” state (79:42).
• Impact of Traffic Law Changes:
  • Discussion about the move to prohibit stops for “minor” violations and how such policy changes undermine proactive policing and public safety.

---

8. Sports Roundup: NFL Playoffs & College Football Championship

Timestamp: 67:51 – 97:20

• Fast-paced review of NFL divisional weekend upsets and heartbreaks; especially detailed breakdown of the Chicago Bears’ overtime playoff defeat [67:53 – 93:56].
• Live call-in by Canine, the resident sports expert and die-hard Bears and Miami Hurricanes fan:
  • Venting disappointment, hopes for Miami in the college championship, and reflections on sports as solace amid personal hardships.
  • Trademark humor and superstitions (e.g., “If we start getting blown out, things start to change. Volume goes up. More hats come out.” – Canine [100:29])

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the Troop Deployment:
  “It gets real ugly. I mean, you start getting U.S. troops on the ground in U.S. cities. It does feel like federalized policing. Feels like government overreach… It’s a real ugly line." — Cop Bill [26:13]
• On Law and Order:
  “Our country was founded and maintained on law and order.” — Mike [26:31]
• On Policing Tactics:

• On Social Media Status and Blue Checkmarks:
  “If you are an average Joe...with a regular Instagram account with 700 followers, you don't need a blue check mark. No one cares who Joe is.” — Mike [04:25]

• On Sports as Solace:
  “I know I joke around a lot, but I've always had sports, man. My teams have always been there for me.” – Canine [98:00]
• Humor/Parody:
  "In about 11 minutes, Canada's walking around Maga hats on. And they're the 51st state. If we really wanted to..." — Cop Bill [35:48] "We just roll in there [Greenland] and take it, guys. Anyway..." — Mike [42:34]

[Mike]

Yeah, you need hoodies, man. It's like 35 degrees here.

[Cop Bill]

I already ordered one.

[Mike]

All right, here we are, studio.

[Cop Bill]

It's freezing.

[Mike]

It was 62. We got in and we cranking the heat and we're at 63.

[Cop Bill]

So I hit Lewis with, how is the scooter ride here? He said, I managed it, I managed it. He managed the weather.

[Mike]

Jimmy's still out for the week. He will be back on Thursday for the flag, second flagship broadcast of the week. But we got, we got, we have a lot to cover today. We have Canada, Piers Morgan, Jake Lang, of course, the troops being sent or staged to go to Minneapolis. And we got canine coming in at noon to talk playoffs and division championships.

[Cop Bill]

It was a rough one for a lot of weekend.

[Mike]

So NFL's fixed, obviously kicking it off with some reflections. I made a reel this morning at like 6:30 in the morning just because I was bored. And it pissed a lot of people off. But I mean, did it, I mean, it pissed some people off. And then I wanted to explain why I did it. So obviously I would never, I, I really, I promise you, I would never make fun of somebody's following. That's a really low thing to do. It's like you're not as popular as me. Never would do that.

[Cop Bill]

Except this morning.

[Mike]

No, I didn't do that this morning. What I did was I've always talked about how blue check marks are a way for people to feel validated because they're insecure. So if you have a business, yes, you need a blue check mark. If you run a big page where you do a lot of operations out of it. Yes, there's a lot of benefits to having a blue check mark. Mike knows when he got booted from Instagram coming up on a year. Yeah, they, they answered the phone. They just didn't help them. Yeah, but blue check marks, they do validate you as far as people wanting to do business with you. That it validates and verifies that you are who you are. But here's the thing. If you are an average Joe with a regular Instagram account with 700 followers, you don't need a blue check mark. No, you don't need to pay for a blue check mark. No one cares who Joe is. Who decided to jump in one of the comments about Rob, when it was a real Rob o' Neill and said this cop guy is. Is pure comedy. Or something like that, though. Lewis, can you pull up the Instagram? I'm gonna show the reel. Yeah, it's in there somewhere. Up, up, up, up. Oh, down there where it said 795. Down, down.

[Cop Bill]

Almost on the left.

[Mike]

Right there.

[Cop Bill]

There it is. You gotta get up on the screen, though.

[Mike]

Boom. That pause.

[Cop Bill]

We're getting there. Yeah. This is the second day.

[Mike]

No, I hate doing this. I feel for Lewis.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah.

[Mike]

When he's not here. Oh, you just got to make sure you put the volume on Lewis. So I can't really read it. Can you read it?

[Cop Bill]

The cop person is pretty comedy. And then it says, I can almost read it. It makes a little bigger. About as funny as a blue check mark with 700 followers. I commented after that. I commented after that too.

[Mike]

He did.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah. He's got a. He's got a barbed wire tattoo.

[Mike]

Oh, man's almost bad as a tribal. Come on, Joe.

[Cop Bill]

A little worse.

[Mike]

I thought that was at the end of the day a lot. Some people were upset about it at first. And then I said, listen, dude, you. You put yourself out there on the Internet talking. You just got to make sure there's no easy targets.

[Cop Bill]

And most of the time there are. But yeah, the check mark, I never added one until like, I couldn't add it originally under cop though, because I was overt. You have to verify yourself. I added it to cop bill this time. What? Really? The. The whole check mark, the only thing it does for you other than try to look cool, is it gives you exclusive access to support. So something like I got restricted again. The other day it happened. They flagged one of my reels they pulled me off of and I actually won. I called him. I was like, hey, bro, this is not what it. You know. And they were like, oh, AI picked it up wrong right back. That's really all it's good for is is direct customer service being able to talk to them directly. You get some dude who's a liberals in some other country, but at least you can call them. They don't really care, but it works for me. That's the only reason I check marked anything is because of that.

[Mike]

And I'll put my money where my mouth is, dude. I don't have a blue check mark on my personal page. I don't conduct any business out of it. I don't really post anything that would give me banned. So I don't. My personal page, I almost have 40, 000 followers. I don't have a Blue check mark because there's no need for it.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah. I had to blue check my personal page to get the support to try to get the original copy page back.

[Mike]

So. And, and listen, I. I know sometimes at face value, I can take things when people are with me, especially these in the comments here in this show. So I read it and I looked and I was like, is he just joking? Like, is he being an. What is it? And I was like, well, if he's following us, that would mean that he's just maybe just joke. Don't follow me.

[Cop Bill]

Doesn't follow the show every now and then. It's called customer service. Yeah, we provide customer service. And that's the point. You don't say we don't interact. Well, we're always going to interact. Sometimes it's going to be good.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

Sometimes it's going to be Ben. I expect to get called out. People talk and post and clip and it's fun. So if you're going to come in and make a joke, we got jokes too. That's really all it is.

[Mike]

The funny thing is, is that it probably came up on his Explorer page and the has no idea. I'm roasting them online, but everybody else is doing defending.

[Cop Bill]

I usually tag them.

[Mike]

Oh yeah.

[Cop Bill]

Whenever I roast an agency, most agencies block themselves from being tagged. But whenever I roast the tick tock hop or if I'm not blocked, which the list is pretty big now, I. I will tag them. That way it's like not talking behind their back. Like, I tagged you. You can see it.

[Mike]

Good idea.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, I always tag them.

[Mike]

I'll go back and mention another thing. Another reflection is back in the day, we did an episode when it used to be the podcast. We did an episode on Uvalde right at that time. We like to cover topics. We like to cover incidents and stories and histories and all that stuff. So, you know, obviously there's nobody that's going to be an. None of us here are SMEs on Uvalde. We pretty much know what everybody else knows. So we had at the time one of our sponsors who I'm going to call on a later date at a representative here selling a piece of equipment that could help something like Uvaldi. So we were like, okay, we had this guy, come on. He. He kind of plugged his thing in, but he gave the story of Uvalde. And me and Brent gave the best we could with what we had. A little later, like a week later, a guy named Jeffrey Badger reached out to me and said, you Got it all wrong. So. Okay, I called him. Of course you can just, you know, when you talk to somebody that's anti cop and liberal, their attitudy. Their. They got you and everything, you're. You're having to constantly tell them, relax, dude, we're having a conversation.

[Cop Bill]

There's no such thing.

[Mike]

Yeah. So we get off. And I was like, hey man, I'll tell you what you said. We got it all wrong. We. All we did was we said they were cowards. And I, I explained how that happens in cop work, where when you show up and there's 60 dudes not doing something, you're not going to be that guy that goes it. We're doing it because you weren't briefed on the situation. You have no idea what's going on. It was the worst of worst situations. And yes, there was a lot of cowardice. People at the forefront. As far as I knew. Bortech came in at they, they did a. In my eyes, a reasonable amount of time to realize these guys have no idea what they're talking about and they made the move right. That. I don't see anything wrong with that. You can't, you cannot just jump into an operation and just assume authority and control and do what you want without getting some kind of debrief about what's going on. So this guy, for months and months and months. And I can show the emails, I can show the text. He badgered me. Oh. And I asked him, will you come on and be an SME? Because we do want to get it right. We do want to get it right. Come on the show. You can come on remote and tell us what really happened. And I think he's from the area. I don't think he lost anybody, but he's got a huge, big Facebook group, lots of supporters. Because yes, in a community like Uvaldi, it'll. This will be in their history for 300 years. Oh, yeah. You know, and so he goes, maybe I will. I don't know yet. And I was like, okay, well, I mean, we kind of ask people that are very outspoken. This is your time to shine. I get it. You're not a podcast. You don't have a lot of experience. I'm not gonna got you. This is just strictly so you can come tell your story. Oh, I don't think. I don't know. He goes, you do your correction piece and maybe I'll come on. And I was politely telling him, like, here, listen, I don't. Nobody tells me what to do ever. On my Own show. So I do want to get it right, but I'm. What I'm not going to do is sit here and try and get it right, do all the research and have you say, I did it wrong again. So you come on. Eventually I just started ignoring him email after email, text after text. And he hit me up the other day. Let's see this hanging around. And he said, full disclosure. And he sends me a screenshot. Lewis, can you pull up some of these? One of. I got one of them I want to show first. It's one of the Uvaldi ones. That one to the right. So, man, Lewis is on top of today. So he sends me this screenshot. He's got a Facebook group called the Uvaldi shooting. Facts, lies and narratives. Love it. Support it 100. He goes on to say he did a bunch of like, screenshots in a Facebook post. And he said, you know, he's talking about a guy named Joe Vasquez that came on and everybody's very happy with his testimony. Don't know anything about it, didn't hear it, didn't listen to it, didn't watch it. He goes, in contrast to the YouTube chest beaters, tattoos, huge biceps, cigars and skulls, they call the Uvaldi cops cowards and tell us with 100 certainty what they would have done if they had been there. You damn right. I told you exactly what I would have done if I would have been there. I don't know of a better way to cover that if I'm not an SME on the topic or I wasn't there. Yeah, that makes sense.

[Cop Bill]

I would have just circled the huge biceps part.

[Mike]

I. I did.

[Cop Bill]

Well, I thought it was awesome by itself. Another man, while on, you said you had huge bicep. No. And. But that's. I mean, that's kind of what the consensus is, is obviously it was dead wrong. What they did. Standing around is option zzzzzzzzz. Right after the five Z's. So it's absolutely the wrong thing to do, tactics wise. That's why I stay away from tactics. I saw that real. I didn't see it till today that Kenny was talking about how I never talk about anything I did or whatever and kind of stay away from that just for that reason. Because tactics are so. You know, everybody's got their own version and it's always easier to talk tactics. Monday versus game day.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

But overall, just like in. In Miami at the shooting and this one, the school shooting. Stoneman Douglas, you've already. It's obvious that that Part was wrong. You can go down the hall and talk tactics. Clearing rooms, running the threat, all those things that we've all trained, but to stand around, why people get killed. I don't care what planet you're on, what even take.

[Mike]

I don't care if you're a cop out of it with a gun.

[Cop Bill]

Because I start looking at. When I see these incidents and we see the people recording, nobody jumps in. As a human being. Now, as a retired, I'm just a guy, just a dude. I walk around, not a cop. Don't talk about.

[Mike]

You're a podcaster.

[Cop Bill]

I'm a podcast. I'm an influencer. But as a human, I go, what would I do as a good gun owning American 2 a guy, if I saw that happening, I'm a civilian, I would think, maybe we got to stop this. We have to stop people from dying. That's just my brain as a human. But everything was wrong by standing there and doing what they did. Now I'm not going to talk tactics. How to. What's the proper way to enter the rooms, how to clear the rooms. You have to go talk about it. Every active shooter, every SWAT rate, every officer involved, qrf, everything that happens when we first get to a scene. Hostage innocence, police suspect. That's the order. Hips. Hostages come first, innocence come second. You have to protect those people. You're third. So they had to go. They had to go under all circumstances.

[Mike]

Lewis, if you could put up the next screenshot for me. I can't read it.

[Cop Bill]

Hold on there. You definitely can read that.

[Mike]

Okay, cool. All right. So I went into that and I tagged him in a comment, and I said, jeffrey Badger, who is the admin here, who's a guy I talked to, has been asked multiple times to come on our chest beating podcast and help us get the narrative straight. He refuses to speak on what he needs to be said and then ridicules anyone who tries to cover the topic. He responded the entire broadcast. Not anyone, just you guys. Because you got all the details so incredibly wrong. Even the obvious. I said, jeffrey Badger, offer still stands. You can come on the show and help us get the facts right. As a subject matter expert, you don't, but you won't. You don't care that much. You just want your gotcha piece of journalism.

[Cop Bill]

Yep, that's all I want.

[Mike]

That's it. That's all I want.

[Cop Bill]

That's what I run into locally with everything I say. It's just nobody wants to really bait it. Nobody wants to get it. They just want that's the Internet. It's the Internet. In the old days, you had to walk up to somebody and actually say it.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

And you had to deal with the confrontation or the, you know, back and forth. Now you can just go, peck, hit return.

[Mike]

And he won't even get on remotely face us. Of course he won't.

[Cop Bill]

Coward. Coward.

[Mike]

That's it. That's the Uvalde update. So I'm going to clip this, obviously, and throw that in a little group chat because I don't want a bunch of survivors for Uvalde sitting there thinking we said anything bad. All we said was we explained what I think might have happened as a law enforcement officer, and I said what I would have done. And I think Bortech went in there, validated the information they had, and then made a decision because no one made one. Just because they didn't run in with a saw and just start blowing the place to the ground, that doesn't make them cowards. They were the only ones that. That made a move.

[Cop Bill]

Yep. And for those commenting. Yes. Tyler has the most beautiful camera lens. Big. The most beautiful lens ever. Okay, everybody, people are coming crispy. Tyler looks. Oh, he's got the. If there was a moon landing, he's got the lens that would have been able to record it from Earth.

[Mike]

Okay. So what happened was we had that lens on the guest cam because the guest cam was the farthest one away. And the middle cam that catches. Go back to the middle cam with both of us. See, like this catches both of us. But when we have a guest or had a guest or we used to be more guest oriented, we got a lens on a camera. We have a second camera sitting right next to this one that projected straight to the guests and it. And it made them crisp and made them clear. At the time when we had a guest centered podcast, we felt the need that that was the best thing to do for the guests. And it sat there and sat there and sat there and sat there and sat there and it never got used. So I just put it on mine.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah. Tyler decided that the next best thing, the next best thing was to make look way better than everybody.

[Mike]

So what we gotta do is we gotta get my.

[Cop Bill]

No, I'm just.

[Mike]

Jimmy's gonna have to deal.

[Cop Bill]

I'm not gonna look any better no matter what lens you use. But that's all a comment. So I thought I'd poke a little. Poke a little fun at that. They noticed how Chris Tyler's pores are fire.

[Mike]

So yeah, that's all the reflections Oh, I got some other things on here we don't need. Obviously, the big one is the troops being staged. Do you want to cover that after canine. Do you want to go ahead and jump into that now until noon?

[Cop Bill]

No, let's go ahead. Because the second half can be more of a smorgasbord.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

Wide open, but yeah. So the reports are coming out that Trump has like 1500 troops ready to go to Minnesota.

[Mike]

That's a big deal. They're not National Guard.

[Cop Bill]

No.

[Mike]

They're active duty troops from Alaska.

[Cop Bill]

And you have. Elon Musk keeps calling for the Insurrection act to be, you know, so what's that? Basically that allows us to use troops in the United States. They're basically saying it's. Which I agree, it's terrorism. What's going on in, in the streets. And you know that, I guess. Did you post. Didn't we post another one where people were on the fence on, on that one, too? About what's. Yeah, I'm just commenting on it downtown about. Yeah, somebody. The one that just went out this morning, people were talking about how.

[Mike]

Oh, the cop called in.

[Cop Bill]

Yes.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

How it's illegal and under the last administration and nobody said anything under Obama and, and the training. That's what it was. Somebody knocked us. And we've been saying this, I've been saying this all along. You have bad tactics. They said basically those. We didn't. You didn't see this under Obama. There was no headlines, there was no issues on the news under Biden and Obama because they weren't doing anything. They were doing nothing.

[Clint]

Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

And what my argument is. And they said, we don't talk about the, the tactics because, you know, because we're pro ice. No, the tactics suck. And you have said it all along. Yeah, And I say it because for years, four years, I sat around doing nothing. They were at the desks. They hired all these new ICE agents. No job. They weren't enforcing immigration. They weren't out in the streets. Now, four years later, Trump comes in and says, go get them, boys. And you have a bunch of agents who have no experience. Yes, it is dangerous. What is the right answer? Maybe what we keep saying is the locals should be helping ICE so that tactics, safety and the citizens are being best taken care of. But what you have is the cops going, we're off, we're out. And you have inexperienced. I think in a lot of these cases, ICE agents who were desk riders who are now all out in the streets, cool, with their cool shades and their cool stuff on and their tactics aren't the best. And that is a problem. And I agree it's a problem. And you're seeing some issues with like the vehicle with the car ram and the two ICE vehicles back and forth, because you're not pinching it all the way correctly. You're not blocking them incorrectly. So.

[Mike]

And another thing too is, man, when. When starts going bad like this in the streets like that, you will get frustrated. I saw a clip of an ICE agent just pushing people out of the way on the sidewalk. They were, they weren't really, really doing anything. Obviously they were there. They were peacefully protesting. They were getting. They were trying to irritate and harass them. But when you look at that clip, you're like, man, I don't know if that ICE agent should have just pushed that out. He was just pushing people. You could tell by his walk he was frustrated. Here's the thing. The difference about being a street cop for 10 years is that, you know, when I'm getting pissed, I'm getting pissed. I'm about to do something because I'm a human being. ICE agents just don't have that street time.

[Cop Bill]

I will give. And Dom, when he comes, Dominic Izzo says that stuff and people knock it. I will give him that. That you see infantile behavior from ICE agents who can't handle being yelled at. That's part of the job.

[Mike]

That's what it is.

[Cop Bill]

You got to be able to get. Yell you, you get about the five year mark of law enforcement is my number when you know, when you can back. What is it? Back to black suplex somebody. What did you say?

[Mike]

Yeah, I meant to say belly to back.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, when you, you know, about five years when it, you can belly to back somebody, you're like, all right, that dude's, he's, he's got it. These guys, it appears ICE doesn't know when. Yes, they're being harassed. Yes, they're not being treated properly. Yes, the citizens are acting a little too crazy, getting in their face. But there are videos, like you just said, where ICE is getting too soft and they're pushing people and inciting some things that don't need to happen because they don't understand that they can stand there and yell at you, they can't block you, they can't pull their car in front of you, they can't hit you with their car. But to stand on the sidewalk and scream at you, that's price of doing business.

[Mike]

D, dude. Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

I've been in the hood 25 deep getting cussed out, up and down one.

[Mike]

Of the roan murdered and you're still getting yelled at.

[Cop Bill]

You're the piece of. You're the piece of. Because you're trying to help their buddy who stitched up with. With a switch on the side of the road. But you, you are. We are seeing some overuse of their authority, I believe. And I'm not here to say I'm pro cop all the way. We just beat everybody up. No, there is some overuse of authority by ICE that we're seeing.

[Canine]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And I mean, I, I mean, if you made me pick one, dude. I mean, we're. I can't speak for my. I am pro ice. I'm pro ICE being there. I am for ice. I. I wish ICE all the support that they can get and I hope they get the job done and I want them to be careful. But the, The. The politicians that we are all blaming for this polling, the local cops, that is the Kumbaya. That is the, the, the. What do you call that? The spear that organically needs to work. You need to have local cops that know the area and know the people and know the streets to work with you.

[Cop Bill]

Correct.

[Mike]

To be the yin to your yang.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah. And. And again, to say we're not going to help it all is not the right answer. And there are times. You've been there.

[Mike]

You.

[Cop Bill]

I mean, there's times when you do things as a cop, and I'm not talking about gun grabbing, I'm not talking about the COVID I'm talking about there's times, like with custody disputes where you have to go do a standby. Maybe a child's getting removed or maybe dad's getting told he can't. You know, they're taking the kids from dad and giving them. There are times when you do things as a cop, you know, like, this really sucks. But a judge signed this order. I have to assume that it was done under the right pretenses. I'm not here to debate this on the side of the road. I'm simply here to keep the peace while this civil process is enforced. And this is a criminal process. I keep thinking, hearing people call it civil. This is a criminal process. You entered the country illegally. We have to stand by. And I would think if you're a big bad Minnesota chief who's married to a Somalian, by the way, I saw that dude.

[Mike]

He's jacked.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, he is jacked. He's so beta for a guy that.

[Mike]

Looks alpha, give it to him.

[Cop Bill]

But if you're that big and bad is the answer to your people. We're just going to ignore it and go hide and let ICE run wild? Or is it we're going to go stand by with you, monitor the situation and make sure everything is being done according to law. That would be the right answer. Even if you disagree. My job is to keep the people safe. I'm going to stand there anyway. We're going to monitor the situation and make sure it's done correctly. That would be the right answer.

[Mike]

Yeah. Do we have any news clips or anything on these? Is it 1500?

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, there's no clips. It's just that Trump Talked about having 1500 troops ready and Elon is tweeting away about the insurrection act. It's time to just hammer them down now.

[Mike]

The insurrection act, is that something that Trump. Trump can just sign?

[Cop Bill]

I believe he can. He can. It's basically saying that the government is being threatened and he can say we're going to use U. S. Troops against our people. Which is.

[Mike]

It's getting dangerous.

[Cop Bill]

But again in to protect federal agents. If the locals aren't do it, who do you bring in to do it?

[Mike]

I just can't.

[Cop Bill]

Slippery slope.

[Mike]

What the is active duty soldiers gonna do there that. I mean they've got 3, 000 ICE persons. Just security.

[Cop Bill]

It'd be the only real blockades. Block off blocks.

[Mike]

Oh, so like logistics, I would think.

[Cop Bill]

Like large scale perimeters. Like we're gonna block off this five blocks and we're gonna go in and take out all these people. So we're going to need this blocked off so that protesters can't get in. It just. I mean I'm on the.

[Mike]

I'm on.

[Cop Bill]

I'm really. It's a real ugly line because you start getting U.S. troops on the ground in U.S. cities. It does feel like federalized policing. Feels like government overreach. It gets real ugly.

[Mike]

It's. And as much as I want to be a constitutionalist and I want to argue at the end of the day, you say it a lot and I've like really thought about it. Our country was founded and maintained on law and order.

[Cop Bill]

Correct.

[Mike]

So we have ways of doing things. We're not savage animals that run around and shoot each other.

[Cop Bill]

Well, and politics and case law, like misguided case law and politics and votes have allowed for the weakening of our law system. So now where simple laws are like you can't do this, like come in the country illegally. It's very simple. You can't come in the country illegally. There's no there's no real confusion there. That has been so clouded and, and diluted that you, it, it gives people. Well, can they. Well, no, you can't. You can't. But it's now debated. Or, or it's. Well, maybe they can. No, you can't. And it's not a knock against any group of people or any race or any ethnic background. It's just the rules, man. Just like you can't do. You can't cut and lie. Your parents taught you you can't do this. You can't. There's things you just can't. You can't kill people for no reason. You can't, you know, you can't date people a certain age. Like, there's reasons for laws and you have to, you have to abide by them regardless of them. And when you let little ones go, the little one grows and then the bigger ones start getting ignored. Yeah, and that's a big one, man. We don't, we're not the unvetted. Unknown bias, unknown background, unknown. If they're terrorists, it just has created a problem and now it's, it looks bad because we're, we're having you so much force and so much.

[Mike]

Well, when they say force early, yeah, better.

[Cop Bill]

More force now is less force later. And we're in the opposite. We had no force before, and now we're at max force and it looks bad for our country.

[Mike]

Washington, January 18. According to Reuters, the Pentagon has ordered about 1500 active duty soldiers in Alaska to prepare for a possible deployment to Minnesota, the site of the large of large protests against the government's deportation drive. Two U.S. officials told Reuters on Sunday the army placed the units on prepared to deploy orders in case violence in the Midwest. Oh, excuse me. In case violence in the Midwestern state escalates. The official said, though it is not clear whether any of them will be sent. President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened to use the Insurrection act to deploy military forces if officials in the state do not stop protesters from targeting immigration officials. After a surge. After a surge in Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, increasingly tense confrontations between residents and federal officers have erupted in Minneapolis. And they're just kind of going to go on, talk about the stuff we already know. But we, we talked about that and we talked about how we saw Mayor Fry kind of do his own version of. What would you call that? Complying with Trump's orders. And, you know, so, okay, so this makes sense. They need the resurrection. What's it called? The resurrection Act.

[Cop Bill]

Insurrection. Resurrection is what Jesus, your boy Jesus, did we need that too? Yeah, we do need that.

[Mike]

But the Insurrection act is needed. Okay. For. I would imagine that's needed for active duty. There's a weird. It. It's different. The National Guard coming in is different than federalized active duty. Those boys are sitting in Alaska trying to go to some kind of war zone and they're like, minneapolis, does anybody have any friends stationed in Alaska? I know there's got to be some grunts here that knows somebody in Alaska that's like, yay or nay on this. Like, whether it's a reality or not.

[Cop Bill]

I mean, it's got to be. Trump said it, right?

[Mike]

Well, they said it's unclear. Yeah, you're right. But it did say it's unclear that if they're actually going to be sent.

[Cop Bill]

So first it sounds like an idol, like, let's leak this to the media so that they're like, oh, we got the troops coming and it creates a. We might want to listen. That's what it sounds like.

[Mike]

But yeah, unfortunately, no updates on that. At about 18 hours ago, that was told to the media like Mike said. And then there has been no news about it. So maybe it's not the most credible thing in the world. But that kind of goes on to some more topics about this, if you could. Lewis, pull up the Instagram Insta and we're gonna talk about this a little. Oh, you got it to. I'll go up, go up. We're going. Canada goes full China mode. Down, down, down, down. Right there. And then I'll have maybe Mike explain it a little bit better once it's played.

[Cop Bill]

Mine is the first visit.

[Mike]

Everything okay.

[Cop Bill]

Mine is the first visit of a Canadian Prime Minister to China in nearly a decade. The world has changed much since that last visit. I believe the progress that we have made in the partnership sets us up well for the New World Order.

[Mike]

Stop it right there. You can get. Get rid of that. We might bring a backup. So don't completely get rid of it, but remove it from the screen. Wowzers. He said New World Order in the most creepiest way you can. The most subdued, bowing, defeated way you could say we are going to be working with what works. The New World Order.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah.

[Mike]

They just gave in. A straight evil. That's like watching something in Star wars. Like we're going with the Empire because they're going to win.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah. And you know how terrible the conditions are for Chinese kids in the sweatshops and how bad they are. You have no freedom. But honestly, Canada is heading that way with the restrictions, like I went to classes with guys from Canada. You can't carry a gun off duty as a cop in Canada. You cannot leave your house with a gun ever.

[Mike]

It's communist.

[Cop Bill]

It is. They have like two cell phone carriers, two airlines, universal healthcare. Like you can't freely think in Canada. So actually their, their beliefs kind of align a lot more with China than the United States of America. Because we're free.

[Mike]

The, all of the comments on there were very, very anti American comments, I'm sure.

[Cop Bill]

But that's a foreign. Yeah, that people hate us. But the very thing we allow everybody to do, which is pretty much anything, is the reason that people hate us. It's like, it just doesn't make sense. And, and you know, Canada is, it's communism, man. It's. They're not good to their people, they're not good to their cops. You know that terrible shooting. They're up there. They don't carry the right firepower. Their cops can't train off duty. They're not prepared for. It's just, it's bad. And I have a lot of Canadian followers, supporters that send me a lot of things. And they talk about it like they're not ready. They're not ready. Why you can't carry a gun as a cop. Off duty, you can't carry a gun. You cannot leave out, you'll be arrested. You're sworn cop and you can't even go and like, hey, I'm gonna drive to the store with my gun in case I get ambushed by some pieces that I rested.

[Mike]

Do they? Oh, they don't. So they obviously don't have take home cars.

[Cop Bill]

They do, but they, but they can't leave like off duty. You can't go to the gun range unorganized on outside of the agency. You can't carry a handgun in Canada off duty. Okay, a criminal.

[Mike]

So you, I mean, I know I'm cutting hairs here, but just for my peace of mind, when they're off duty and they go home, as long as they're in leaving work in their patrol car, they can take their gun home and they can't put it back on.

[Cop Bill]

You can't go, I'm gonna put my handgun in my car, go get my groceries, eh? You can't do that. It's illegal. So they'll go, they get arrested just like everybody else.

[Mike]

It is absolutely communism here in America. You can, I mean they're, you can have, I mean convicted felons have guns and the cases get dropped by public defender lawyers.

[Cop Bill]

I was thinking as worried as I'm getting, I bring my. I have my.365 in my car at all times with me. And I think I'm gonna put my. I keep my Smith and Wesson on the nightstand. I think that's gonna start coming with me too.

[Mike]

Two guns.

[Cop Bill]

The Smith's got a flashlight and a, a gun light and a optic on it. The, the.365 only has an optic and it's a small gun, which is more recoil. I'm thinking I'm gonna start carrying the big one, man. Pretty soon I'm gonna be carrying a bazooka. It's gotten to that point. I mean, you know, I got 17 rounds in the.365. I got 22 round mags for the Holy.

[Mike]

Yeah, I bought the extended 22 rounds.

[Cop Bill]

22 round mags for the Smith and Wesson competitor.

[Mike]

Jeez Louise.

[Cop Bill]

It's crazy, but it's, you know, you can't protect yourself as a cop up there. You're required to go around and, and it makes sense that they would align with somebody like China.

[Mike]

That video is horrifying to me to watch world leaders just in the most diminished, sad way say we are bowing to the new world order. They are going to win. They are going. This is, this is the winning side. And it, I mean, we see it in movies all the time. We see it in stories. We see it in, in our history. You don't want to be on the wrong side of history when even if they're winning, like, you have to go down, like you have to do the right thing.

[Cop Bill]

I'm gonna say this as careful as I can.

[Mike]

You hate Canadians.

[Cop Bill]

Not only Canadians, but they, they can be 51st state in about 11 minutes.

[Mike]

Oh, gosh. In about 11 minutes, China's gonna come out.

[Cop Bill]

In 11 minutes, Canada's walking around Maga, hats on. And they're the 51st state. If, if, if we really wanted to, so. But you know, we protect them. We're right here. Like, if in, in the heat of it, we wouldn't let anything happen to Canada, it's. It's bad business, man, would we now?

[Mike]

I. You know what, man? A lot of people don't like Trump because he is a real. If a, If a country that borders us, that we've done nothing but help is going to say like this and go to our. What we are all saying is our inevitable enemy in the future that we are going to go to war with. If somebody threatened Canada, you think Trump would do anything about it?

[Cop Bill]

He would do it just to stand there and go, who saved you? That's exactly what he would do. He would stand there like Vince McMahon on Monday Night wars and be like, who owns you now, dad? Who's your daddy? That's what he would do. So he would. Maybe not for the right reasons, but he would.

[Mike]

You can go. You can get rid of that. Oh, actually, can you bring it back up? Just look at some of the. I just want to look at some of the comments, but I can't see it. I gotta start bringing my glasses. You don't have to read the biggest one. There's like a thousand of them. You can just read some of them. God, what a loser.

[Cop Bill]

Who types all that as a Canadian, I'm okay with it. Oh, until we hit that. No, don't believe everything you hear from your own government about China. They want to keep you in fear, so basically they're sticking up for it.

[Mike]

All right, keep going. Let's read some of these little ones.

[Cop Bill]

Trump has ended too many great relationships. Can you blame them? America has proven that. It's the biggest. It's the biggest threat to Canada, Canadian sovereignty.

[Mike]

How? I don't know.

[Cop Bill]

It's really not that deep. It's a trade deal, not a geopolitical shift. Y' all won't trade with us because the Orange man is pouty. So we went elsewhere. That's pretty much it. So that's what you have, the Canadian loyalists that are. It's Trump's fault, because I.

[Mike]

From what I've gathered about Canada, they are split down the middle, just like we are.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah. I was on a cruise, if you can believe this, last year.

[Mike]

I can believe you. On a cruise.

[Cop Bill]

It was January. January, August, December. I think it was the August cruise. Whenever Trudeau was getting tossed.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[Cop Bill]

And there was Canadians on the boat, like, cheering. I remember watching a guy sit in the. His laptop, or he has iPad out and he's watching Trudeau. It was January because he left in March. So it was January. It was a year ago. And they were saying Trudeau was out and that. But he rigged it so that his party stayed in control. There's no real control. Yeah, he basically stayed long enough where his party maintained control. But the people on the boat that were Canadian were absolutely anti Trudeau, anti everything. They like Trump. They like United States. Interesting, Interesting.

[Mike]

All right, so you can get rid of that and then stay in the Instagram. And there is a Piers Morgan picture.

[Cop Bill]

He doesn't know who that is.

[Mike]

Okay, that guy right there. Put that up. Can you read this, Mike?

[Cop Bill]

Yes. Piers Morgan said Britain should repurchase America. After all, it was ours once and it would enhance our North American or North Atlantic security. If you don't sell it to us President Trump, we're going to impose tariffs on the U. S. And any country who supports you in resisting this very good deal.

[Clint]

Fair.

[Mike]

All right, so I love how he is now. Here's Morgan is now. You can take it down. Piers Morgan now is taking this the same kind of approach that Nick Fuentes did, because Nick came on his show and destroyed him and just laughed at him like, you're all. You are obsolete old man. All we do is preach our politics. It's nothing personal. And I'm winning. So now Piers Morgan goes and puts the most wildest on there, like, like America's first day.

[Cop Bill]

We already won that war. Yeah, we already won twice them once. And they can't even. They can't even control the Muslims run around knives in their own country, let alone any deal with the United States. So that's another place that.

[Mike]

No, but I mean, people. Oh, yeah, yeah. Europe. That's a whole nother topic of discussion.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, you go. You watch the video. I watch, like, Death School.

[Mike]

Can you imagine, like, 15 years ago when people took romantic getaways to Paris?

[Cop Bill]

You can't go there anymore. You'll get freaking stabbed and. And robbed Eiffel Tower by Muslims.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah. You can't.

[Cop Bill]

There's nowhere over there you can go. Ireland, done. UK done. France, done. You can't even walk around. There's dudes with machetes. They're running scams. They're not enforcing any laws. You can't get on the Internet and say anything illegal. They'll show up at your house or illegal. When I say.

[Mike]

We tried talking about that and people were on our case. And over there, the loyalists, they were like, that's not true.

[Cop Bill]

That's not true.

[Mike]

You can say whatever you want. Like, so where's all this coming from? Right.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah. I mean, it's an agenda. But obviously when you look at America, we're like the trailer park of the world. Obviously. We have everything going on. It's pretty wild. But we're free.

[Mike]

But we're free people in trailer parks. You ever seen them? And you're like, yeah, but they love.

[Cop Bill]

It, dude, they're drinking Michelo.

[Mike]

Kids are in the nine in the morning.

[Cop Bill]

They don't give a. The pool's been empty for three years. There's green water in the bottle.

[Mike]

It's like, I wish I loved Anything as much as these guys motor part.

[Cop Bill]

The truck's taken apart. It's been there for like seven years. They're having a great time. Yeah, no problem. No politics in the trailer park. The only problem is whose music's too loud or who's, you know, why I've stepped out of the house. But they're having a great time and that's kind of where we are. We're having a great time and they're very restricted and they're still not having a good time.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's a good point. So why don't we buy Canada? You think maybe Trump's. Oh, wait till you see this. Greenland real man. You. I, I didn't clip it out at all, but you look like you just woke up and tried to argue and debate somebody. Me, Yeah, I clipped it. I'll drop it later today.

[Cop Bill]

Okay.

[Mike]

It's not altered at all. But anyways. Do you think Trump doing his Greenland thing has anything to do with Canada and just trying to put like a little buffer there?

[Cop Bill]

And then physical group of European nations got together and said they're going to stop Trump from Greenland. And I don't know, man, you look at all this stuff happened hundreds of years ago and people just took over states and countries and that's how we were all formed. And when you think about that now, it's kind of like we've never seen a state formed, you know, in our lifetime. It's been how it's been. But these things happen frequently. We were from like 13 to 50.

[Mike]

And then we just stopped at 50. Yeah, it's kind of weird.

[Cop Bill]

And then it's like, we're going to take this over. And it's, it seems weird because whenever you think of takeover, you think of war.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

Destruction. But it's like, no, we're just gonna go take it, like, good.

[Mike]

So I think. Does Greenland even have an army?

[Cop Bill]

A bunch of nice people living in cows and who, who owns them? Netherlands.

[Mike]

The Netherlands. The Netherlands have an army. Doesn't sound like a real Netherlands. Doesn't sound very scary.

[Cop Bill]

They have a cool, like red light district, I think, but with that, that's where the, A bunch of stuff happens there.

[Mike]

Oh, like. Yeah, like Amsterdam.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So they got no army. We just roll in there and take it guys anyways.

[Cop Bill]

They could take over with some of that stuff, but don't army.

[Mike]

So the last thing we'll cover before we take a quick commercial break and go to sports with canine is Jake Lang, who I had no idea who he was until yesterday. That just goes to show you the depths of the end. No idea who this dude was.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, we went Minecraft a little bit. He. Oh, nothing we can do about it. I love hearing about it, though.

[Mike]

Well, I mean, yeah, it's annoying, but.

[Cop Bill]

He was a January sixer, okay. That was pardoned by Trump, and now he's off the rail. He's actually running for Senate in Florida for us.

[Mike]

Of course it's Florida.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, he's you. Right. He's from New York. He was a January sixer. And then, okay, he went up to Minnesota and tried to act out.

[Mike]

So everybody's saying they're going deep in conspiracy. They're saying he's actually a Jewish plant. Can you go back to Instagram? And there's a YouTube link of JD Delay kind of explaining this right there. I don't know how you started over. Oh, perfect.

[Cop Bill]

In Minneapolis, Minnesota, today, he went out to do his normal shtick where he pretends to be a Christian, pretends to care about this country. He's a paid provocateur, but he was also peacefully protesting. He didn't hurt anybody and he didn't break any laws. And he got violently assaulted repeatedly, had piss thrown on him in 7 degree weather, was pepper sprayed, was dragged into this crowd, brutally beaten. And then after all of that, he was stabbed. Now, I don't like Jake. I don't trust Jake. I know who Jake works for, and I think his methods are disgusting. But I still stand for his First Amendment right to be able to do the things that he's doing, just like I stand for the First Amendment right of these people to be able to do what they're doing. For him to be attacked for exercising his constitutional First Amendment right is absolute Nazi fascist behavior. But they didn't just attack him. They attacked this woman as well as many other people. Listen, you might not agree with the things that I believe, and I might disagree with the things that you believe, but at the end of the day, we are all Americans, and this country was founded upon our right to be able to speak our minds freely. For people who like to call everybody Nazis and fascists, they sure do like to use physical violence to shut down the speech of anybody who disagrees with them on anything. And what exactly would you call that? Let me know down in the comments.

[Mike]

All right, that's good.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, he got worked. Head got split open and I mean, he was gonna. He's out there yelling, he got stabbed.

[Mike]

Yeah, in the head.

[Cop Bill]

He's gonna burn a corn.

[Mike]

A corn. Quran.

[Cop Bill]

Quran.

[Mike]

Why do you say these words weird.

[Cop Bill]

Because I like how you react.

[Mike]

It's gonna burn corn. Corn.

[Cop Bill]

Quran. Sometimes I do on purpose.

[Mike]

But so people think. And that's the. I heard someone else say that. They say he's a Jewish pra. Pro. What's it called? Pra core.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, he's like. I said, he's from New York. January 6th, he was arrested 14 charges, pardoned with everybody else, and then he moved to Florida. And he's got a website because he's.

[Mike]

He's like pro Hitler. Like, he's very white supremacist.

[Cop Bill]

They throw some.

[Mike]

See, I saw the HHS hard R around the hands up.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah. He'd definitely be a guest on the Crusader.

[Mike]

So he essentially just went. I mean, I don't know.

[Cop Bill]

It seems like a bad idea.

[Mike]

You got to be smart.

[Cop Bill]

It seems like a bad idea.

[Mike]

I'm not gonna go into a crowd of a thousand people I disagree with and. And provoke them.

[Cop Bill]

I mean, you might as well put the. Remember the cruise ship video? Yeah, the snow cones. Yeah, you might as well put the cruise ship snow cones on and go down into the hood. And you're. You're not. You're not very wise, what he did. And it goes both ways. We, you know, does he deserve to be beat up? No, he doesn't, but it wasn't very smart.

[Mike]

Efren says, at what point can we plug. That's a good question. I don't know. There's laws everywhere that say if. I don't know if he had a gun, if he could start using it, if he put himself in that situation, that would be a long, drawn out court process.

[Cop Bill]

I mean, it's. He has a right to go do what he did.

[Mike]

You think he could. Yeah, that's true. Can you imagine if he just started blasting people?

[Cop Bill]

He was stabbed.

[Mike]

That's what our country.

[Cop Bill]

He was stabbed.

[Mike]

That's true, man.

[Cop Bill]

I mean, it's. I, you know, we call. We call officer induced jeopardy. When cops do dumb things, citizens, I guess, aren't responsible for their own.

[Mike]

I mean, as long as he went out and peacefully protest and did it the right way and didn't attack anybody himself. I think, yeah, as. As much as people might not like to hear it or agree with it, he would have every right to start plugging.

[Cop Bill]

I can tell you if that was role reverses, though, there'd be of a lot. A lot of problems in America today.

[Mike]

If we took a black man out, essentially lynched him. Yeah, that would probably be pretty bad.

[Cop Bill]

Yes, I would think so. I Wasn't gonna quite say it as blatantly as you just said it, but. Not today, guys. Not today. That's probably not the words I would have used, but something like that.

[Mike]

And then somebody said he was born in Israel. Lol. Well, that. That kind of. That really advocates for the argument that he is a agitator, a professional agitator.

[Cop Bill]

Of course you end up in Florida.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah.

[Cop Bill]

Lang for Senate, Justin says.

[Mike]

Like, just like Kyle Rittenhouse. Absolutely. And we had Kyle on the show a long time ago, back when we were a podcast. That was a weird one. That was just a whole different weird time. He's. I think he's autistic for sure. 100 go watch the cob. Oh, I don't know if it's locked. If I remember, I'll unlock it. But if you're a paid member, you can watch it if it's locked. So what we're doing is we're going to take a little bit early of a commercial break. We got, we got more stuff. I've got funny videos, reference, this whole Ice Minneapolis thing. I. We want to cover sports when we get back, maybe change the course a little bit. We're gonna do what we did last time and possibly fix this Wise Five situation. So after the commercial runs, there might be a little bit of a couple minute wait while we unfuck this potato quality. But we will be right back after word from our sponsors. Over a century ago, in 1910, the.

Flexner Report, funded by John D. Rockefeller.

And the Carnegie foundation, re engineered medical education from a holistic whole body approach, which appropriately treated the body as an interconnected system, to a compartmentalized approach. Under the guise of specialized medicine, they shut down or consolidated medical schools, marginalized naturopathic, homeopathic and chiropractic medicine, replacing them.

[Cop Bill]

With symptom management and synthetic drugs.

[Mike]

Allopathy is a marketing strategy rooted in fear and manipulated science. This philosophy carried into veterinary medicine, resulting in over vaccination, unnecessary surgeries and manufactured food, just like they did for people. They call it care, but it's predatory and based in profitability. The truth, toxicity, compromised immunity and chronic inflammation. They're not fate, they're engineered. And so is your power to undo them. We built three targeted formulas to return the body to homeostasis for pets and.

We are the correction to decades of corruption. We are vengeance.

[Mike]

Got a new one.

[Cop Bill]

New one crave.

[Mike]

Crave creatine and just a quick backstory with those we met. We met up with these guys a couple months ago. We had to make sure they were the right fit. It was after the whole Tasty Gains thing after they were exposed for not putting creatine in their gummies. But there was a lot of shit after that and we were like man, we gotta find a company man because we both work out, we both take creatine. We came across Crave who called out Tasty Gains and I remembered them. So we reached out, we talked to them for a long time. They are Florida based and they were a small business and they are legit. We're actually going to go see their operations and how they do things. That he was like, we'll let you watch us put creatine in our so we all need creatine for a magnitude of reasons. It pulls water into the muscles for size and definitions and it improves mood and brain function. You can build up to 30% lead lean muscle with creatine and it boosts strength up to 30%. Creatine is something your body makes naturally. It helps your brain and muscles get energy by making it more advanced. Your body's main fuel is derived from creatine. I've made that last part up, but it's true. It's just very important. When you take your creatine you give your body More power. That means you can lift more, recover faster, and stay sharp all day, which is very true. You can take three gummies a day. And if you don't love the flavor or if you don't feel the difference, Crave will refund you with a full money back guarantee. So go to try crave.com and use the promo code that we don't have right now. Because our sponsors do this to us all the time. We get everything set up and they don't create us a promo code and then they don't answer the phone. So. But this is more of an awareness thing. It's our first. It's our first ever ad for them. We've been talking with them for months, and they're really good people. They have a really good product. We've all got bags of them. We tasted them. And the funny thing is they taste like it's got creatine in it. When it tastes like fruit snacks and too good to be true sometimes that might be Crave. Creatine has the creatine you need. So go to cravecreatine.com Once we get the promo code, try crave.com. try crave.com. yep.

[Cop Bill]

What I liked about them was, as a true good business, they refused to work with us until they sent us the product, made sure we got it, made sure we tested it, made sure we liked it, then said, let's talk. Never any talk of sponsorship. There was never any talk of this started probably October.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

And they were like, let me send it out. Let me make sure you guys get it. Taste it, try it. Let's get. Get that going. That, to me, shows good business. They want to stand by their product. Not just some deal we make on the phone that we're going to say it's good because you told us to.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

So I really.

[Mike]

And it was. It was really hard to explain to them. Like, I actually know there's creatine in this because it tastes like there's creatine in it because, I mean, I. I'm gonna try to eat one and explain it because I eat them all day, but I don't think about it. All right, first off, they're so good. You think first off, they're not slimy.

[Cop Bill]

They're not grimy and slimy. I have a. I have a slime bag at home of another brand, but.

[Mike]

This one, these are all individually. They got nice little crystals on them that make them sweet.

[Cop Bill]

And you're right, you can taste the creatine.

[Mike]

There's creatine in it. There's no doubt you'd be like, oh, there's creatine in these.

[Cop Bill]

For anybody who's raw dog. Creatine right in the mouth with the powder, you know, it's not fun. And you can taste it a little more.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Cop Bill]

Oh, boy.

[Mike]

Measure.

[Cop Bill]

You're right, it doesn't. It's not a fruit snack. Yeah.

[Mike]

They taste really good, though. So creatine is very important.

[Cop Bill]

No eating on the show.

[Mike]

Unless it's.

[Cop Bill]

A sponsor sponsored by McDonald's.

[Mike]

Lewis is over there laughing.

[Cop Bill]

What is Lewis laughing about? We match today. Lewis.

[Mike]

K9 has not entered the chat yet, so we will move on. I've got a couple videos in the Instagram DMS I want Mike to see. Oh, you logged out of Instagram?

[Cop Bill]

We had him doing things. Yeah, I'm doing things. Easy.

[Mike]

All right, so go up, up, up, up. All right, start slowing down. Oh, go. Let's watch this. This. I got a couple videos of Jake Lang. We kind of had to fix the potato issue. So we'll check this out.

[Cop Bill]

God is good.

[Mike]

Christ is king.

[Cop Bill]

And send them all back. Apac, the Israeli lobbyists, and all the brownification of our country. Send them back. Bounification, Freedom to salute. God is good, Christ is king. And send them all back apac, the Israeli lobbyist, and all the bronification of our country. Send them back. I mean. And he wonders why he got hit over the head.

[Mike]

Yeah, I wouldn't go. I mean, I wouldn't go Blackhawk down style and surround myself with a thousand Somalis and.

[Cop Bill]

No, that's a bad idea.

[Mike]

And then you're not going to get the Medal of Honor for that one.

[Cop Bill]

No.

[Mike]

You ain't got no backup?

[Cop Bill]

No.

[Mike]

Go to. What's that one say? Maybe go up protecting. Yeah, all right, so that one right there, Just.

[Cop Bill]

That's not. That's not smart.

[Mike]

I'm telling you. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

[Cop Bill]

It's not smart.

[Mike]

Alligators, by law, are not allowed to eat you here in Florida. They'll be put down if they eat you, but that doesn't mean you go with them.

[Cop Bill]

Correct.

[Mike]

They will eat you. Just like the zombie Somalian hordes. Go to the. Down, down, down, down. Right there. What's that one? I think this is still another Jake Lang video.

[Canine]

Just go.

[Cop Bill]

Just go. Let him go, y'.

[Mike]

All. They're trying to get him out of there. Not, I should say, protection. You think you knew this would happen? I mean, is that. Is that where that. I don't know, but can you imagine the Marriott there? Like, bro, dude, what are you doing?

[Cop Bill]

I can't imagine he thought it was going to go any better.

[Mike]

I mean, it's the price you pay. These guys put themselves online. So, okay, yes, they're doing it for Internet fame. I don't believe, from what I've heard about this guy, I don't believe he's doing it for the right causes. I think he's just an agitator and.

[Cop Bill]

He wants to run for all. Like, trying to run. It is. It's, it's. But.

[Mike]

And what he did was he set up. He set it up and they took the bait and they acted like animals.

[Cop Bill]

Well, here's the thing.

[Mike]

They almost killed me.

[Cop Bill]

What do we always say? Like, why do we use our own tourniquet on ourselves? Because we have to survive ourselves in order to go help people. If this guy really has a message that he wants to get across, getting killed in the middle of a group of Somalians by doing this is not really going to keep your message out because you're dead. So making poor decisions like this doesn't really help the cause. Yeah, getting. Being alive. And if I don't, I'm not saying I agree with anything he's doing. I'm just saying, like, if I was going to be his manager, like, hey, let's stay away from like the streets of, of of the enemy surrounded by thousands of people that you're basically on. And you know how Hitler's.

[Mike]

Or protection yourself or have some protection.

[Cop Bill]

I mean, he probably does going forward, but just.

[Mike]

No, no, I'm not talking like personal security. I'm talking about go at a rally where there's like MAGA people at least. Well, at least.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, but then it's kind of like you're preaching to your own people. If you're trying to be cutting edge, you're going to go out in the market too.

[Mike]

If he was trying to just get Internet glory and Internet videos, he would go do it in his own crowd, but, man, he went for the gold.

[Cop Bill]

Does he have that support? Dude, does he. Does he have enough crazy whatever show up to support him? I mean, his message is pretty crazy. He doesn't look very organized, and he looks like he's playing off of a couple other Internet personalities that have already gone down this road. He's now taking it to the next level. Yeah, we're like, he's trying to sit at a desk. The gypsy guy sits behind a computer. This guy's like, I'm gonna take it to the streets and that didn't look like it went very well. Didn't like it went very well.

[Mike]

To me, the precious. In a Super chat, the St. Paul Police Chief said that if they need to communicate with ice, ML MPLS can suck these nuts. What's mpls? Probably the Minneapolis police Prussian. What's MPLS stand for?

[Cop Bill]

That's not it. What is that? Something to do with electronics. But yeah. I mean, they're not gonna. Oh, we have an order. What do we. Somebody bought something.

[Mike]

Should we put the website up?

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, put the website back up. Yeah.

[Mike]

No, no, in the comments.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, that's fine. We sold a 99 or. Sure. We appreciate it. Request fulfillment. It's on its way. Don't forget to go to the antiherobroadcast.com store.

[Mike]

You can get a Tyler and all shirt, too.

[Cop Bill]

You can get it. Allegedly.

[Mike]

I just.

[Cop Bill]

You just it all up.

[Mike]

No, I got it. I'm putting it in the comments.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, you spelled it wrong.

[Mike]

Russian MPLS is miniature. Oh, Minneapolis. Okay. So the St. Paul Police Chief said that they need to communicate with ice. Minneapolis can suck these nuts. Yes. From what I gather, you are absolutely right. St. Paul Police Department is actually doing the right thing and working with ice. Trying to pin this comment real quick.

[Cop Bill]

Canine's mia. Yeah, dude, I text him, too.

[Mike]

He was at the barbershop at 11.

[Cop Bill]

Well, must be a long line.

[Mike]

Yeah. But, yeah, William, sorry to hear that. I just. I kind of saw a little bit that his. His father was killed by a 22. Because they were talking about 22s in the. So. But yeah. Okay. This is what I wanted you to see. This is great. The. The one right there. Yep. This guy. I'm telling you, when I first saw him, I was like, he's giving really, really big Hitler vibes. A week later, he's full on it already.

[Cop Bill]

Looks. Road out of the road.

[Mike]

Now.

[Cop Bill]

That's a B go. Doesn't it Looks very. Doesn't look very similar.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

Think they do it on purpose?

[Mike]

I don't know. I'm looking for other reels. Yeah. I don't know. Do you.

[Clint]

I don't know.

[Mike]

I don't think he does it on purpose. I mean.

[Cop Bill]

Doesn'T look good, but.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's. I'm trying to find something else I had on him, too, but he's the commander for Border patrol.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Do you think it's a giant coincidence that he's walking around with armed squads of people directing them with a trench coat? Just. Dude, you think he's wearing a vest? Mike.

[Cop Bill]

No.

[Mike]

And Most of the things he was. But after he started going with this weird trench coat look, he might have.

[Cop Bill]

Wondered I would wear one if I were him. I mean, nobody's a fan. We have another super chat. We need a Mike didn't get sued shirt. Yeah, maybe I'll just get sued. And then we go, I'm not well liked.

[Mike]

Yeah, I believe that. I linked the. The link to the T shirt into the store, into the comments.

[Cop Bill]

So you can actually just hoodie if you're in Florida. Oh, we got more items rolling in. Two more sales. Look at that, man.

[Mike]

Y' all are awesome, dude.

[Cop Bill]

Working. We appreciate it.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's a good. That's a good shirt. Props to Brady for making it.

[Cop Bill]

It might be broadcasting from his minivan. Canine. And then he's got the show tonight. Starts at 6:30 tonight. Why instead of set? Because the national championship game starts earlier. Oh, he's gonna cover the. Okay, he's gonna cover the playoffs from yesterday. Heartbreaking day for some fans. And then the national championship. Buffalo Bills fired their coach already today.

[Mike]

Well, you know what? Let you know, Sports enough. Yeah, let's go into sports without canine.

[Cop Bill]

Sports without canine.

[Mike]

Should I call him?

[Cop Bill]

I text him? He didn't answer.

[Mike]

Call this.

[Cop Bill]

We had. We had four games over the weekend.

[Mike]

What do you think this is a. Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

What is wrong with this guy? Was he an Indian? Let me get to the games. Three good ones and one destruction. See what he says. We'll give him a chance. He's probably getting his haircut.

[Mike]

Damn, bro. He was getting his haircut. 11.

[Cop Bill]

All right. Anyway, I'll do it.

[Mike]

Sports.

[Canine]

All right.

[Cop Bill]

Bill's Broncos. Crazy game there was. Right near the end of the game there was a really critical catch and play where Diggs hit the ground with the ball and it ended up coming out. Broncos intercepted it. It was. It was a bang, bang play. I don't. I did have a dog in the fight because if Buffalo and the Bears went to the super bowl, which they both lost, I would have won a thousand dollars. I wanted Buffalo to win. They called it. Interception. They called two very questionable pass interference calls at the end of the game as well that put Denver in field goal range. Denver won. But one of the biggest, wildest things that happened in that game was Denver starting quarterback Bo Nix on the kneel down to essentially end the game and let them kick the winning field goal. He broke his ankle.

[Mike]

Oh, he's out. So he broke it on the kneel down.

[Cop Bill]

You can see like he kneels down. It looks like somebody steps on it or kicks it on the kneel down. Instead of just kneeling straight down. He did one of those sideways kneel downs to move the ball a little further in the middle of the field. Didn't know it. Walked off the field. Grimaced a little bit. He broke his ankle. So they got a backup quarterback going into the NFC AFC championship. They'll be playing the Patriots. Who. If you watch the Patriots Texans game. I know I'm skipping till Sunday, but I'm gonna cover the AFC first. The quarterback for the Texans. Absolutely. C.J. stroud. Just the bed. It looked like. Like you could make. Like there's so many memes right now about him just hurling the ball, throwing the ball every which way. Complete meltdown. They have the best defense in football. It kept them in the game. Ultimately, the Patriots won at home. The blowout of all blowouts, which Seattle is probably the team to beat now in the. In the whole league. Seattle destroyed the 49ers at home, 41 6. And in a heartbreaker last night, Canines hometown Bears. There was a fourth down in that game with the game on the line before overtime where I can't believe it happened. Caleb Williams rolled back, dropped back like 30 yards, threw off his back foot and scored a game game tying touchdown to go to overtime. Yeah, critical play in that game. Bears were driving to essentially win the game because they've kicked off first in overtime. Rams were stopped. DJ Moore, man, he's a great receiver, but he looks lax all the time. He didn't run a route like he wanted to go to the Super Bowl. And Caleb Williams threw a ball across the middle that Stroud should or DJ Moore should have absolutely caught. It was broken down time and time again. He kind of pulled up on it. Ball got intercepted. And the Rams went down and kicked a winning field goal.

[Mike]

Good game.

[Cop Bill]

It was amazing game. I actually hit a big bet. I won 20. Bet that. Won 360. I bet anytime. Touchdown, DJ Moore. Which was the first touchdown for the bears under 45 points. And the bears that cover the four and a half spread which hit felt terrible. My wife's a Bears fan. Obviously. Canine's a Bears fan. They look good. Chicago Kane. I was born right outside Chicago. Joanna lived in Chicago for a long time. Heartbreaker for the Bears, but I would say they're back. Caleb Williams, although he paints his fingernails and acts a little weird, he made some amazing plays. And so your NFC championship game is the Los Angeles Rams at the Seattle Seahawks. And the AFC championship game is the Patriots at Denver. Denver has a backup so my pick for the super bowl is the Seattle versus.

[Mike]

Wait. So New England, we have a game tonight, right?

[Cop Bill]

No, that's. Hey, that's the. Tonight is the college college football championship. Miami and Indiana University. I bet on Miami. I'm just gonna root for Miami because canine likes them, and I really don't have a dog in the fight, but the U. I think a lot of people are picking Indiana, though. Indiana's favorite by, like, almost 10, I think.

[Mike]

Really?

[Cop Bill]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Mike]

Over Miami.

[Cop Bill]

Indiana's got a good team. I just. This might be a hot take. The guy won the Tro Heisman. The quarterback for Indiana. I don't think he's going to be the hype that everybody says he does that stand in the pocket, hands in front. Standard college. Like, very systematic. He runs a system. He doesn't have a lot of thinking to do because it's all scripted. Those quarterbacks scare me when they get to the NFL. Maybe I'm wrong. I just don't think. I don't see the hype. But they have a good team, and it's going to be a battle for Miami. But I would like to see Miami win seven and a half on Hard Rock. So Miami's seven and a half point underdogs. I bet straight up money line. I won 365 last night on that Bears bet. So I bet 65 to win, like 300 or so. Just under 300 on Miami because it was house money. There's nothing like betting with house money. All right, it's already. It's already a winner. Canine is missing in action. Maybe we'll do a attempt to locate on him.

[Canine]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Etl. So we'll kick it off or we'll end the. The segment today. Kind of like loosely talking with y' all and running over some reels. So, Lewis, can you scroll up on Instagram? Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going. All right, stop. Watch this first one underneath that. Not that one. This one right here. So Don Lemon sends some wild, but I have. I have not really dove into it. I just saw it this morning. I didn't have time to really, like, give it a lot of. Give it a lot of attention, but we're gonna watch somebody break it down. We're gonna break down a guy breaking it down.

[Cop Bill]

Don Lemon leaving a mob into a church service may have just violated the face act. Are we gonna start arresting or what? This is unacceptable.

[Mike]

It's shameful.

[Cop Bill]

It's shameful to. To interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship. But there were folks I Have to take care of my flock. Listen, we live in. There's a constitution in the First Amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble. Yeah. But when you physically interrupt people from their places of worship, you are violating the Face Act. Yeah, that same act that the left likes to use to protect abortion clinics. It also is used to protect people's religious freedoms in churches, which carries a fine of a hundred thousand dollars or one year prison sentence or both. Wouldn't it be funny if Trump used their own thing against them?

[Mike]

We're here to worship.

[Cop Bill]

We're here to worship Jesus because that's the hope of these cities, that's the hope of the world, is Jesus Christ. I'm very respectful. Please don't push me though. You didn't push you at all. So why don't you shut the hell up? We're here. We're here to worship Jesus. That's why we're here. Yeah. He literally asked you to leave and you didn't leave. These are the tactics that they're using now, people. These are the tactics they're using. Intimidation. Try to interrupt your time of worship to come in there and say, hands up, don't shoot and stop ice and all this. When is enough enough? Don Lemon, he is a bad person. Holy.

[Mike]

Don Lemon is a bad person.

[Cop Bill]

He is a bad person. I can't stand him, dude. And that's not Republican Democrats.

[Mike]

There are so many sound bites and clickbites of Don Lemon. Just saying the wildest. And it's the only reason why he still has a career because CNN hit the a couple years back, all the regular, like, hosts of shows that didn't really do anything crazy, they're all gone. Don Lemon is able to have a life outside of CNN because he understands. Just like Jake Lang. If you want to survive in this crazy media circuit, you have to say wild. You have to do wild. That's crazy.

[Cop Bill]

But he does it in places that won't punch him in the face. Yeah, like he goes to church because the church isn't going to beat his ass. I remember one of the videos I saw right before the election, the last one, he. I think he went to like the New Jersey Atlantic City boardwalk, which is church. He's very blue Democrat and he got roasted by most of the people for supporting Trump. It was funny to watch him get like, no, you dumb, I'm voting for Trump, like over and over. But of course he goes somewhere where nobody's really gonna do anything to him. He is a God awful human being. God awful human being.

[Mike]

Don Lemon.

[Cop Bill]

Canine decided to join us.

[Mike]

Yeah. I'm gonna send him home and see maybe if he wants to go home and get set up, and then we can bring him on towards the end.

[Cop Bill]

Okay. No, not in the trap. Not in the van.

[Mike]

No, we don't need. No, we don't need doing yard work at work.

[Cop Bill]

I should be off today. Tell him to go home.

[Mike]

I just texted him.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So. Yeah. Don Lemon. I can't. I cannot believe he had the audacity to go into a church.

[Cop Bill]

And it's.

[Mike]

It is.

[Cop Bill]

You're picking on. God damn. You're picking on people that just. You know, if that was a. He's a. He's a homosexual. If that was like some gay rights thing and a bunch of Republican storms.

[Mike]

He would be up.

[Cop Bill]

He would lose his mind.

[Mike]

How dare you?

[Cop Bill]

Would he stay calm? No, he wouldn't stay calm like that. That's just.

[Mike]

He cries on tv, too. So he's a little. He's gay.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Oh, I should.

[Cop Bill]

He's married to a white guy, too. Pretty sure. Let me make. Let me get my facts for you because.

[Mike]

All right.

[Cop Bill]

I think you're gonna cook me later for not having my facts straight.

[Mike]

I'll just let the comment section cook you.

[Cop Bill]

Is it that bad? Oh, good. I like when it's bad because I won't look at it. I ignore. I'm very good at ignoring because it was this time last year when I was going at it. Yeah. There's Don Lemon's husband.

[Mike]

They just. Yeah. I mean, white, white. Hey, man, if Don Lemon.

[Cop Bill]

Kamala Harris. White husband.

[Mike]

Imagine, then you got that poor police chief with a Somalian wife.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah. I still like his reaction when they said they were going to take it to war with the.

[Mike]

Maybe he. Maybe he's not the evil that everybody thinks he is. He's just a little beta puppet.

[Cop Bill]

He's. He's not willing to stand up. It's like all the guys I used to work with, man.

[Mike]

I got a video of him, but. All right, go down to the next one.

[Cop Bill]

President Xi and I are announcing that Canada and China are forging a new strategic partnership. Canada can thrive in a new system, but to do so, we must be ambitious. We must work at speed and scale to find new partners to diversify our trade and attract unprecedented levels of investment in our country. And we must be pragmatic. And it's with this approach that Canada is forging a new strategic partnership with China. President Xi and I.

[Mike]

As is another take on the same dude. He seems a little bit More upbeat on this one.

[Cop Bill]

That's upbeat.

[Mike]

I mean a little bit more. The other one. We are going to join the new world order.

[Cop Bill]

We tear up the out of Canada, I think too. Right.

[Mike]

We don't. We're not.

[Cop Bill]

Trump said he was sending us a couple grand. I ain't seen it yet.

[Mike]

That's what Heather was saying. She's like, he was my 2 grand.

[Cop Bill]

Supposed to be on the 26th. He's supposed to make all credit card capped at 10 interest.

[Mike]

That's awesome.

[Cop Bill]

Supposedly sending the military 17, 1800 for every active duty soldier was supposed to get a check just and just for being. Just for being active. And then everybody in America was supposed to get two grand.

[Mike]

Now do active duty soldiers get 3? 700 or they get less than the schmuck sitting at home not serving?

[Cop Bill]

No, no. All active. Yep. Not vets.

[Mike]

No active. Get 1700.

[Cop Bill]

Yes. Oh, yeah.

[Canine]

I don't know.

[Mike]

I don't know.

[Cop Bill]

So damn. We got left. No, I think that was all Americans about support. So they should get seven.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

30.

[Mike]

37.

[Cop Bill]

Do the math. 37.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

This is not blackjack or poker. I can't do math. Yeah. So they should get more than that. So. But Trump forgot. He kind of had one of those orange moments where he forgot he had promised us all that money. He also talked about income tax being completely gone because of the tariff money. Like we don't pay any.

[Mike]

You just temporarily gone or like wiped out.

[Cop Bill]

Oh, Virginia.

[Mike]

What about.

[Cop Bill]

Oh, yeah. We didn't talk about Virginia.

[Mike]

Let's do it.

[Cop Bill]

The governor of Virginia removed an executive order that was in place that now prohibits do this the beginning of the show. Virginia no longer cooperates with ice. I got a guy in Virginia who said it went out to his agency wide. The governor squashed an executive order from the previous governor. She's a Democrat. And now the state of Virginia no longer cooperates with ice. We see how well that's going in Minnesota.

[Mike]

Why would you take this stand? Why would you do this? I don't understand. You literally have a failing model that folded in front of America's eyes when Mayor Frey had to go, listen, we're just gonna just comply the big bad SS Trump bullies are here, but everybody be. It's just better if everybody complies and goes home. He did what they wanted him to do and he had to eat crow in front of the whole nation. And you watch that. And as a leader and as a governor, you go, I'm gonna do that too. I'm gonna. I'm gonna Tell the world I'm not working with ice. Yes.

[Cop Bill]

Let me see. I'm pretty sure Abigail Spandberger spanned burger.

[Mike]

Spanned burger.

[Cop Bill]

Spanned burger. She is the 46 year old Democratic governor of Virginia and she signed the. She repealed Yokin. Yeah. Was it. What was it? Say his name? Youngkin. Glenn Youngkin.

[Mike]

He appealed young kids.

[Cop Bill]

Now she's appealing. He pulled back his executive order. So now the Virginia no longer. So that should get. We should get some new material out of Virginia here shortly when all that starts going down.

[Mike]

And is there any coppers in Virginia that can verify this? Because I. I know that can't be statewide. That has to be for like northern Virginia. That's liberal up there. I just splashed that saltwater my eye and burns.

[Cop Bill]

Oh, well, let's say this. She has and I'm looking at. I'd like to be unbiased. She has opposed defunding the police, supported bills that would increase ability of. Ability of local police to hire and train more.

[Mike]

Who's your source? Can you give it out?

[Cop Bill]

Wikipedia?

[Mike]

No, from the.

[Cop Bill]

Oh, no, it's. It was on tv.

[Mike]

Squealers in Roanoke, Virginia. That's southwest. But he's saying it's the same thing.

[Cop Bill]

Yes, I mean the source was somebody after, but I'm saying it was a. It wasn't him, but it was somebody at Virginia said they just pushed this out like power DMS to the agency. We're no longer cooperating with ice.

[Mike]

The whole state. Whole. Whole state of Virginia state.

[Cop Bill]

Wow.

[Mike]

We'll see how that works out.

[Cop Bill]

So now you have the state of Virginia no longer cooperates with ice. So that should be pretty interesting, Lewis.

[Mike]

We should allow states to go have their own little mini civil wars because I can tell you Virginia's not like that. But it's the. It's like Miami and Florida. It's such a. In Orlando, in Florida. Most of Florida is not like those places, but they have the most voters.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, she supports same sex marriage.

[Mike]

Well, she's a liberal.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah. She's married to Adam.

[Mike]

Is there an ice academy?

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, they're paying good money too.

[Mike]

I, you know. Do you think they'll take hand tattoos?

[Cop Bill]

No.

[Mike]

Probably. Probably.

[Cop Bill]

No, no, that's at least your problem.

[Mike]

Not the same, bro. I'm good to go. Okay. I said that. I said on Patreon and I got in trouble for that one.

[Cop Bill]

You did?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

That's just an interesting stance to take.

[Mike]

All right.

[Cop Bill]

I mean one thing is like, hey, we're just gonna make like we talked about, make sure everything's Being done correctly, we're gonna, we're not helping ice. A whole state of law enforcement now gets a directive to not assist. And now we may see the same thing happen in one city in America, happen in an entire state with. Some of the parts of Virginia are very conservative, which is very interesting.

[Mike]

I'm telling you. It's, it's just like, it's crazy. Like, the part of Virginia I grew up was 45 minutes from West Virginia. It's nothing like Northern Virginia. But the whole state has to sit there and deal with what Northern Virginia.

[Cop Bill]

Right outside D.C. that whole area is what keeps them like.

[Mike]

I remember they were telling me, like, cops in Virginia, like, they lost the ability to pull people over for, like, minor traffic in practice. Like not moving violations, equipment violations.

[Cop Bill]

Correct? Yes.

[Mike]

That's crazy. You don't even have to have headlights in your car unless they pull you over for something else that's driving related and then they can cite you for the headlight.

[Cop Bill]

Well, we see how well it's going in Philadelphia and New Jersey and New York and all those other cities that are falling apart. So why not just stop cooperating with the government and stop pulling people over for violations and because you know as well as I do, when applied correctly, those violations lead to drug seizures.

[Mike]

I know.

[Cop Bill]

Have to have those.

[Mike]

The proactive cops in our community of our 99ers, they get it. They obviously understand. But if you're not a cop or, or something, you know, or, or you, you've been a cop for a long time, so you're not really proactive anymore. You, you have to understand how we find some of the bad stuff out there is we use the tail light being out. We use one of the two of the brake lights being out. You know, we use a headlight being out, and you get tons of dope off streets. You get guns, you get people with violent felony warrants. Like, that's how you get it. There's serial killers that have been picked up on traffic stops.

[Cop Bill]

That might be a good topic for me and Dom to go after on Wednesday, because he's totally anti, like, minor traffic infraction and, you know, and what, you heard it, you got yelled in the hood. Why don't you go do something? Go find a real crime. Yeah, well, people don't go down the road with kilos hanging out the window going, I'm going to sell these drugs. Or I've got assault weapons, I gotta, I gotta switch in the back. They don't drive around advertising it.

[Mike]

And they're in the Hood.

[Cop Bill]

They do advertise it, but you see it a different way. And some of the ways that you combat that.

[Mike]

Why don't you go fight some real crime? I am. It's probably somewhere around here.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, but you don't. You know, like I said, nobody drives down the road with a sign that says I'm smuggling narcotics or I'm, you know, I got guns or I got warrants. They drive around and because of crime, usually leads to not updating your tag, having your license suspended, not making the best decisions. Your tail lights are out, you're not really doing the check. And that's how we find crime. So one of my. One of the things I hated the most when people would say that when I pulled them out. Yeah, you pull me off. There's real crime out there. Well, they don't just average. If they ever advertise it, we would just go get them all and put them in jail. Yeah, we have to find them by speeding. You know, one of the. Kenny's an interdiction guy. Red Ninja. Kenny Williams, great interdiction guy. He'll tell you that I've been to those interdiction schools. Nobody drives around with a sign that says smuggling 30 kilos.

[Mike]

You actually have to be trained to find those guys.

[Cop Bill]

You have to, like, look for discrepancies and stories. They can't tell you where they're both going. But that all starts with 55 and a 54. You gotta have a traffic violation.

[Mike]

55.

[Cop Bill]

You gotta have a traffic violation to lead to finding that.

[Mike]

I remember when I was on my way out and I was a little bit more saltier, I started accepting that maybe the best way to deal with the public and law enforcement's animosity towards each other is simply giving police departments the option to respond only. And it would really not change much. They just act like firefighters. They just sit in their precincts and they wait like designated areas. Not out and about, not at gas stations. They sit in their precinct and they get dispatched to calls. And people that need the police can call. And then that way they're not out there getting in all these situations that are causing public distrust. But we know what they're doing. They're out there doing good and they're. They're solving crimes before they happen by taking these guys out the street. But people don't appreciate it.

[Cop Bill]

That's my street goon. My argument is that the guys that have more reps of doing those controversial borderline stops for break lights, tag lights, rolling stop signs that are finding Criminals, they're inherently going to get more complaints, get involved in more critical incidents, getting involved in more use of forces. They don't get a pass to do anything. But I always go back to mine, my ia, I broke it down a lot recently. You're going to do things where people go, I probably wouldn't have done that. Is it illegal? No. Is it the best way to do it? Maybe not. It works 90% of the time every now and then. It doesn't look okay to, you know, you make a slick comment or you take a guy to jail for visit, and it's like, we could have probably skipped it. Yeah, we could have skipped that one. But if you pull me back to the point where I never do that again, everybody's going to traffic narcotics and everybody's going to get away with it. You have to operate somewhere in that gray area. And I don't mean illegal, but tent, like 10 is one of the best ones. Oh, it's just 10 people's tent. How many people they rent an alto, man, they slap tin on that thing and it's illegal. And you stop them for it. Tint's a great stop. Seat belt. You want to fly out the window. It is your prerogative if you want to fly out the window. Unfortunately, they made a statute that says you have to wear it. When I see something, I pull you over for your seatbelt so that those little things. But the guys who get after it and do the job are going to get more complaints, going to get involved in more. So they're gonna need to be disciplined differently. And I don't mean allowed to break the law or allowed to break policy. They're just going to be involved in more. Was it. What did I just see this morning about. I was watching one about running red light. Was that you? I watched one about, oh, Jason sent it to me. Vulture back. They asked a cop, is it okay for cops to break the law? And they said, well, of course not. And they go, well, you run red lights to catch up to bad guys. Yes, but the statute allows us to break that law. There is a law that says he's like, well, you don't always turn your lights on. And his analogy was, what if there's, like, a kidnapper and he goes by you, you see him, and you have to run, like, five lights to catch up to him. Is that worth. Is the juice worth the squeeze in that case? And it would be. It would make sense for me to run five red lights to catch somebody that's got a Hostage or kidnapped, but I am breaking the law. So guys that do that controversial Wild are going to inherently get more complaints, be involved in more, but we have to have that. We have to have it all.

[Mike]

Right, so we've got. We've got Canine, who wants to come in and apologize for not showing up on time. Let's bring him in.

[Canine]

Sorry, guys. What's up, og? Sorry, guys.

[Cop Bill]

You know, in the world, there's, like, these things. There's, like, deadlines and jobs and.

[Mike]

Not for Canine. He's the talent. Ah, he's the talent.

[Cop Bill]

You know, he didn't have to drive two hours to get to that studio, did he? Just right there. Well, I already broke down your heartbreak, but if you want to touch on anything, I know you had a rough night last night.

[Canine]

It was a rough night. I probably drank a little too much, lost a little too much money, but I'm here, I'm alive. I had a side job this morning. That's why I was late and I had to trim up my beard. I don't want to come in looking all ratchet. For you, Tyler.

[Mike]

Sorry about that. How much you drink?

[Canine]

Too much.

[Mike]

What'd you drink? Tequila.

[Canine]

No, last night, not Tequila, man. I actually got me a little bottle of Henny. Some hen dog for my boys.

[Mike]

Let's go.

[Cop Bill]

Gross.

[Canine]

Henny on the rocks, baby.

[Cop Bill]

So break it down.

[Canine]

Yeah. So, I mean, the Bears once again. I mean, it was a close game the whole time. It came down to the end again, and we were losing. Caleb did his magic. Caleb Clutch had one of the greatest throws of all time. Man, that fourth down. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Touchdown, goes to overtime. We stop them, they're three and out. We get the ball back, things are looking great, and then just collapse. A heartbreaking loss.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah. Would you agree? I know you're a Bears fan and I'm independent. I'm now I'm like a proxy Bears fan because of you and my wife. I rooted for him. I know you like the guy. DJ Moore quit on that route. DJ Moore did not hustle on that route. The season is on the line. It's the biggest play of the season. He lollygagged, jogged, and ran a terrible route.

[Mike]

He did.

[Canine]

And honestly, going back to preseason, I wanted us to trade DJ Moore because of his attitude going back to last year. Sitting on the sidelines, getting mad because he's not getting the ball. Getting mad at Caleb, giving up on plays. The guy definitely has an attitude problem. Yeah, I didn't want him on the team this year at all. And I mean, when he, when he puts in the effort and he's got a good mood going on, he's great and he's one of the best in the league. But it seems like any little thing could tick him off. And it definitely seemed like he didn't try on that route at all. And I definitely think that's the reason why the interception happened. But I would love to see him walk out the door, honestly. There's been rumors he's going to the Raiders, he's going to be involved with trades. Let him go. So I would love to see him, honestly.

[Cop Bill]

You can't run that route in that fashion and. And you're going to watch that play over and over and over again. I watch it broken down from overhead. And the way that play was designed was to have that section of the field wide open. It was supposed to be an in route where he cuts across the field. He's not even looking at the quarterback. He's essentially just running at the defender. And I would put that throw up there and I said it last night, and I'll. I'll stand behind at that play. And it's so sad. They lost the game. I put that right up there. With the Eli Manning helmet catch with David Tyree in the super bowl, there was just no way halfway through that play anything good was going to happen. Back foot throw, 40 yards, 47 yards in the air to refer a touchdown was probably the best play of the season I've seen so far. Probably last week's fourth down gets. Green Bay was the one before that. And then to have that happen and have a guy with an ego quit on a route. Of course you never know what's going to happen, but you can't say it's all his fault, but it just sucks. And what a heartbreaking loss. And you know, it's one of those, chalk it up to a moral victory, your team looks good, but man, when you're right there, it. It sucks. It sucks.

[Canine]

Yeah, it was heartbreaking, man. And I think actually people are finally agreeing with me on the. The Caleb takes I've had for the past two years. I mean, I know me and you have even gotten into it over the guy.

[Cop Bill]

He's good.

[Canine]

Listen, I know that the fingernail polish and the crying to his mom.

[Mike]

Yeah. Why is that?

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, it's a lot.

[Canine]

And well, you know, he apparently does it allegedly because his mom owns a nail salon. I guess his aunt worked there as well, and his aunt passed away, so he does it in honor of her. And you know what I'm not, I'm not one of those guys. I mean, the world's different nowadays. You know, obviously I talked about this on ESPN with Clinton Yates. I mean, you got people dressing up as furries. I mean, there's people that think they're cats and dogs. At least the guy doesn't think he's a cat or a dog.

[Mike]

At least it's just fingernails away from getting our first furry.

[Cop Bill]

The only knock on him last night was seemed to not want to run the ball. There were plays several times on third and even the fourth down plays where, where they got stuffed on the goal line. It just seemed like he, he ran all season. It was almost like, you're not going to run tonight. That was the only. If I was going to knock him for anything. And it's really minor. There were some plays. I think he could have ran the ball and you know, you start adding up points where the Bears didn't take the points at the beginning of the game. Yeah, a couple other times it was like. And it's hindsight. Great game. Let's shift from depression to the. You tell me about tonight.

[Canine]

Listen. My mental well being relies on the night. I'm going through a lot in my personal life and I'm a, I'm a religious man. So I feel like the big man upstairs has been watching down on me and giving me some positive things in my life because I'm going through a lot personally. I know I joke around a lot, but I'm actually being real about this. And that's kind of the only thing I've had going for me the past couple months are my football teams.

[Mike]

Man.

[Canine]

I love my Bears and I love my canes. And you know what? Last night was heartbreaking. But I started to think about it. I'm like, you know what? We beat the packers last week. I feel a lot better now that I started to think about that. So, you know, that's over with. But now tonight in Miami at Hard Rock, we're going up against the hottest team in college football, Indiana. And my mental well being relies on it. I mean, I just, I want us to win so bad. It is crazy. I got the jersey on. I'm trying to do everything. I'm. I'm a very superstitious man. So I went back to the last one. I got a haircut the same day, so I know I was late, but. Sorry, I can't be the reason why Miami loses. I have my earrings out. I wasn't wearing earrings. My volume on my TV was at 15. So everything is. Has to be the same. I'm very superstitious. I'm crazy, I know it. But I think we have a chance tonight. I know everybody's counting us out. I've seen point spreads up to nine and a half. We're at home, we're in Miami. Michael Irvin's gonna be there barking. We got the alum there. I'm gonna be watching from home, praying. I think we got a shot. I think we can win this. I think we bring the championship to Florida, to Miami, to the 305. And I'm ready.

[Cop Bill]

Oh, are you.

[Mike]

Are you gonna be okay if Miami loses?

[Canine]

Will I be okay?

[Mike]

I. I will be okay.

[Canine]

I don't think it'll get to the point where you need to Baker act me or anything like that, if that's what you're asking.

[Mike]

Okay. I mean, so you'll have a week. You'll have a. You'll have a solid week from media to get away if you need to, right? Like Monday night, you're tonight live on counterculture. Monday at 6:30pm Eastern time, you are going live with sports with canine. And the games tonight, God forbid, you just gotta go crawl in a dark bedroom and just mourn for a week. Come Monday, we can come talk about sports again. Right, exactly, Canine. We all need you.

[Canine]

No, I. I appreciate it.

[Mike]

I'm.

[Canine]

I'm glad that you need me. And it's. It's nice to feel needed for once in my life.

[Mike]

Listen.

[Canine]

Listen, I. I brought this up, actually, the first podcast we ever did, you know, and I was actually really, really real about it. And I know I joke around a lot, but I've always had sports man. I've went through a lot in my life as a kid. I've had a terrible childhood. I mean, whatever. And you know, my adult years were pretty good. Now they're pretty shitty for the most part. But I've always had sports man. And you know what? My teams have always been there for me. And yeah, play the violin, Play it. Listen. It's all a part of the build up, man. When the Caves win tonight, everything will be fine. But sports always been there. My teams have always been there. I'm 30.

[Mike]

30. I was gonna say you. I mean, that's part of just being a grown up is that just. You wake up, your body hurts, everybody's mad at you all the time, and then you go to bed.

[Canine]

Yeah, that's. I mean, yeah, that's life. Don't get me wrong, but my sport teams have always been there. So I love my teams. Is that. Is that the song they play on the commercial for the dogs? Like when they want you to donate the dogs?

[Mike]

This is the. The. The trending thing on Instagram.

[Cop Bill]

Billie Eilish.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

When I was on my cruise and the dealer would. Would bust us out on, like, poker, he would start humming that. And as he takes our money off the table, like, got me a hard life.

[Mike]

Like, Mike, he's got so much good going on that he can just go waste all of his money on gambling. That's a bad day for him.

[Cop Bill]

I married the right woman.

[Mike]

Oh, I thought you were gonna say something else. No, I'm married. My life sucks.

[Cop Bill]

No, married the right woman. That's why I didn't.

[Canine]

I didn't. That's the problem.

[Cop Bill]

Think sometimes it takes two, three times, but you get it right. Yeah.

[Canine]

Maybe after the third one.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

6:30 tonight on Counterculture sports with canine. He's going to tell you why the U is gonna win. Get the hat. The hat. Ready?

[Canine]

I got it over here.

[Mike]

I can grab it. But you have like a duck head.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, yeah. Get the hat, man. You got to go out with the hat.

[Canine]

It's not a duck. It's a ibis.

[Cop Bill]

It's a ibis.

[Mike]

Big difference.

[Canine]

This is a primal animal.

[Mike]

Are you gonna wear that tonight or is that you can't wear it because you weren't wearing it last time.

[Canine]

I wasn't wearing it last time. Superstition. Now if we start getting blown out, things start to change. Volume goes up. Hat, more hats come out.

[Mike]

Change it. Yeah, there's no point in shirts. You changed.

[Canine]

I'll take the chain off. I'll sit on. You know, I'll stand up instead of sit down. Yes.

[Cop Bill]

All right.

[Mike]

All right, bud. See you tonight. 6:30, counter Coke. Drinks for canine. All right, we got Clint. We call Clint next.

[Cop Bill]

I had something else. What do you got? Remember the Giants did sign Horrible. I was reading the comments. Oh, Brady that ordered a shirt. There's an issue with your address.

[Mike]

Oh, it says might want to review.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, it's on.

[Mike]

Are you confident with your address? Because we can click.

[Cop Bill]

It doesn't look like it is. So Brady just dm Anti hero or cop Bill, make sure you got your complete address correct because it has a little. It's. It's on hold for an address issue and I'll get clean on the line, so.

[Mike]

And in case everybody knows or wonders like we don't have, we have third party people doing our merch. So, like, I feel bad because it's like we. The anti hero merch, we don't have on hand. So, like, in order to get it, it has to be ordered. Like, I would.

[Cop Bill]

It's most of my cobbill stuff, too. And I'll tell you what happens.

[Mike]

And to be fair, I would probably go bankrupt, because I would just send everybody free shirts.

[Cop Bill]

Yes. And I do send a lot of stuff free. But here's an example. What happens. Guy orders a shirt, happened the other day, forgets the apartment number. I. Once I hit click to fulfill, it's out of my hands.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

Even if I catch it, like, in the first two. Two hours, sometimes they're like, sorry, we already started the process. So this shirt was, like, out for delivery. And they're like, hey, I. I email, and I get a thousand emails a freaking day. Hey, I emailed you, like, three days after the order to say my. My apartment number was wrong. And it's like, sorry, I missed it. Get your address right, please. Like, it's very, you know, where you live, please. Because what happened was it was on the truck. Then Printify asked me, what's this guy's apartment number? I sent it to them. It missed it. It goes all the way back to the company. Then it has to be reshipped again.

[Mike]

You got to pay for shipping twice. Yep.

[Cop Bill]

$40 to send something to Belgium. But I want the exposure. I want the stuff out there. I don't mind all the time, but I can't go bankrupt over starts. But please double check, triple check your address. Brady, that just ordered a shirt. Please give us your correct address so I can update it. All right, good. And I will get Clint on the line. Lewis, get the timer ready. I know it's there. I already saw you working on it.

[Mike]

So we start the timer when he starts the story, right?

[Cop Bill]

One second. Yes. Are we ready?

[Mike]

All right.

[Cop Bill]

Okay. All right, you're on.

[Clint]

Hey, good morning, fellas.

[Mike]

Good morning.

[Cop Bill]

What's up?

[Mike]

What's up, Clint?

[Clint]

Hey, so this time, I want to tell y' all about what happened to me in airborne school. So. So I joined. I did basic. I started basic 12-28-94. So I was there at an airborne school, you know, maybe three months into 95. Okay. So it. It was, you know, airborne school was easy if you're, I think if you're combat arms.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah. No, it's no air assault. It's no air assault school.

[Clint]

Right. But if you're coming out of basic and ait, you should be cruising through airborne school. I, I.

[Canine]

Yes.

[Clint]

Maybe the soft skills or people that are older and coming to it, they can have a problem with it. But young, I feel like young people have it. Have it pretty easy. And so all the running and all the. The ground week and all that stuff, that was all real easy for me. But when we got to tower week, when we got to tower week, we actually got to do the tower. And so, you know, we went out there as a platoon, and we're at the towers, and they had, you know, the. The tower is 250ft and it has four arms on it.

[Mike]

Yeah, that was, that. That was canceled when I went.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, I didn't go through it in 96. I didn't go through it either.

[Mike]

Yeah, right.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah.

[Clint]

So I think I say the story on the towers is they were actually created for the 1933 or 31. If Jimmy was here, he would have nailed the year. But it's 31 or 34, that the. The World's Fair, I think, in Atlantic City or New York or something. This big thing they had. It was, you know, everything from the future. It was a big push on things from the future. And so they created the airborne tower for civilians to do it. And then when that, that. When that. That fair was over the army bottom, and then they maybe made more or something like that.

[Cop Bill]

So.

[Clint]

So anyways, so it's got four arms on it. And so, you know, I'm. I'm on the ground, and they lower a line down and you hook into it, and then they pull you up and they're. They pull you up, and there's a safety. There's a safety that you put on. It's an extra rope that hooks in when you go up. That would. That would catch you if something happened. But when you go up and they pull you to the top, they're talking to you through the microphone.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Clint]

And they tell you to answer by opening and closing your legs. That's like yes and no. I can't remember the exact, you know, hand and leg signal it was. But anyways, so you're. You're hanging up there, and they. And so you're. When it pulls you up, they tell you to unhook the safety. So you unhook the safety net drops down, and then they start calling out the side. So each arm has a number, and the. The CERN Airborne's on the. The microphone, and he's saying, drop side one, drop side two, drop side three, drop side four. Well, they might start with one and drop him. But in the meantime, if you rotate while you're up there, and you're facing the tower, then they're not going to drop you. So they jump. They'll skip that number. So they might go, you know, 1, 3, 4, and then bring that number two down and straighten him up and then take them up with a new lift. So I think I was either three or four. And when we were that, we got pulled up, and I got up there, I immediately rotated into the tower. And so I'm looking at the tower, and I'm like, well, I know I'm not jumping this time. I know, I know they're not dropping me this time. So I'm just sitting there waiting. And they said, drop side one. And I felt the harness go like cha cheek. And I looked up and. And I was. I watched the claw let go of my harness. And you heard some people go, no. And I dropped down. I probably only flew. I only dropped maybe 50ft, if that. And I flew into the tower.

[Cop Bill]

Holy.

[Clint]

And I hit the beams, and I started bouncing down the beams.

[Mike]

Jesus.

[Clint]

And the parachute went completely flat and was just flopping against the tower. And I hooked it, hooked one of the beams with my arm in the crook of my arm on the opposite side of my elbow. And then I grabbed my fist with the other hand and I held on for just short of 14 minutes.

[Mike]

Holy.

[Clint]

And I was waiting on. What I was really afraid of was that the wind was going to catch the parachute and just suck me off. But I was hanging there, and they were asking me all the questions, like, are you okay? And I'm opening and closing my legs, and I'm, you know, I'm not saying anything. I'm just hanging on. And they got a. They have a. Like, a battle drill that they practice. It's like, man in the steel. And they basically, like, reverse repel up one of the arms. And then the sergeant comes across, and then he comes down the tower and hooks into you. And then you both jump off and then repel down the tower, okay? And so this. This dude comes hipped into me, and, you know, we jumped off and we rappailed down. And when I touched the ground, I completely collapsed. Like, I could not stand up. So they. They took me to the hospital, and I didn't break anything, but I had a bruise that ran from my hip all the way to the end of my foot. And when I was hanging up there by one arm, dude, I watched them form the platoon up and march off. Platoon formed up and marched off.

[Mike]

They didn't want to see you die.

[Clint]

They didn't want to See me fall.

[Mike]

You know, that might kill morale. Clint.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, you can't.

[Clint]

It definitely makes dude to jump. And so, you know, I, I got recycled. But that day I went to the hospital and I came right back. And so I, they took me to another. They took me to a different room and I was basically on the same floor as their offices. And I was in there and they yelled down the hallway. They were like, private Ludwig, you know, get your ass out here. And so I come hobbling out on my crutches. And it was, it was a sergeant first class and a captain from Ranger Regiment. And their processing building is on the, the same field. So they have like a little building that the, the Ranger Rippies go to right there on one. It's like one of the buildings has like the six armed monkey parachuting or something, and that's all Rangers in there. And they said, they all came out and watched me on the tower. They said, man, the way you weren't, you weren't freaking out or anything. You're just doing the what, what you were taught, you know, closing your legs and doing all that. You weren't freaking out screaming and crying. It was. They're like, we want you to come be a Ranger. And I was like, well, hell yeah. So I walked on crutches into their little building out there and filled out all my paperwork to go to Ranger regiment. But it was already, I was already in tower week. So I got shifted over one week and then I graduated in the next company. My paperwork didn't go through in time and I was glad because rangers mean back then. It was bad enough being an 82nd getting smoked. I could only imagine what it was like.

[Mike]

Rangers is tough dealing with them dudes.

[Clint]

But my dad, my, my dad is a, was a truck driver, 18 wheeler truck driver. And he actually made a delivery just a couple months after that and to Fort Benning to airborne school. And so he talked to one of the guys that worked there and the guy said, yeah, the, I was there when that happened. And the, the sergeant airborne up in the tower hit the wrong button. He said, that dude, he got kicked out of the school. You know, he didn't get promoted or nothing, but he got kicked out and, and that was it. But the, the dude who saved my life, he was a E6 from Fort Bragg and he was from Boston and he had sleeves, both arms were sleeved up in 95. So that was odd, you know, that was.

[Mike]

Yeah, that is different. Yeah.

[Clint]

And so as soon as I got to Fort Bragg, I started Working on my sleeves. And I was. I was the. Hey, I was the only private it in 96 with the, you know, forearm tattoo.

[Cop Bill]

I think you earned it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Clint]

But I wanted to be like that. That dude, you know.

[Mike]

Wow. What a good story. It was funny, not disturbing, and it had a good message at the end of it. Yep.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, we appreciate it, Clint. That's the first time we talked to you in a while, but thanks for calling in. And I'm gonna put a picture of the towers up there for everybody to see what you're talking about. But take care of Lewis. Just Google Airborne School towers, because these things. I am probably. I probably wouldn't. I probably wouldn't have gone through the school. All I remember was looking at these things, and they go, yeah, we don't use anymore. I'm like, it's a good thing.

[Mike]

Well, they were using them when I went through in 2008. But they were. But they weren't. We didn't use them. I don't know if it's weather related or what. No, those are. Those.

[Cop Bill]

It's those right there in the middle. But we want a better picture picture. It's the second row all the way to the right. Right there. Pull that picture up if you can. This is. I would have never. Yeah, I wouldn't.

[Mike]

They look like giant windmills.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah. It's bad.

[Mike]

They're horrifying.

[Cop Bill]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I'd rather just jump out of a plane at that point.

[Cop Bill]

I mean, going into L off the side of a Blackhawk is pretty sketchy. This is what, to me, way worse.

[Mike]

Well, you can't. You got to go up.

[Cop Bill]

Yes.

[Mike]

You can't see the route.

[Cop Bill]

I was having a meltdown over there. He's doing the same thing.

[Mike]

It's not the same. It's not. It's not the right file. It won't pull it up.

[Cop Bill]

It's gotta be a jpeg.

[Clint]

Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

Come on.

[Mike]

I'll just share. Yeah, there we go.

[Cop Bill]

Do what I said.

[Mike]

All right.

[Cop Bill]

Click on that. Click on that picture. So for those. It's not on the screen anymore. Why is it not the same on that screen as it is on this screen?

[Mike]

Oh.

[Cop Bill]

Oh, yeah. There we go. Lewis is back.

[Mike]

He's back.

[Cop Bill]

So for those, this is what the tower that Clint's talking about looks like. They suck you up, not suck you off. Suck you up to the top of that tower. There's four people on each one of those arms that goes out. Your parachute is open, and when they call your number, they hit a button, and you go down 250ft and then do a PLF parachute landing fall.

[Mike]

Seems simple.

[Cop Bill]

Seems simple.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Cop Bill]

Had they have had that open when I got there, I probably would have faked an injury and been long. Guys, I hate heights. The plane is so high. You can take it down that well.

[Mike]

That requires the parachute, everything. The weather has to be perfect for those things.

[Cop Bill]

Correct. And then you're. You're holding the shoot open and wind's blowing and then they let it go. You have to worry about it getting hung up and running into the tower and all those things that forever. What was it, $202 a month? I was airborne, so for an extra 202amonth, which brought me to about 980amonth when I was in my first few, I volunteered to go up to the. That miserable thing. But thank God for my career, that thing was not open because I don't know if I would have made it. The dangling and waiting part is far worse than just jumping out of a airplane. That's.

[Mike]

Yeah, I've never done it.

[Cop Bill]

It's easy to just jump out the door, but yes, that's sketchy. And the hanging area. And think about that. You're hanging on the side of that thing. You're not connected to anything.

[Mike]

We gotta. We gotta break down a video next time. Wait, watch a video?

[Cop Bill]

Yeah, I'm sure there's videos of people getting stuck.

[Mike]

That dude.

[Cop Bill]

Now we know Clint. What? What's wrong with Clint? It all makes sense.

[Mike]
