Episode Overview

This episode dives deep into the escalating tensions between the United States and Iran following recent American airstrikes and the potential for broader conflict. The hosts and guests debate the justifications for war, U.S. motivations, the impact on military families, geopolitics, the role of Israel and Saudi Arabia, and whether war is "inevitable." There are frank discussions about loyalty, veteran perspectives, and critical questions about American interventionism. The show also features updates from Ukraine, info on domestic terrorism risks, and a panel discussion with guests on the wider impacts of modern conflict on American society.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Loyalty and Brotherhood (03:07–11:00)

• Theme: Exploring the value of loyalty, both personally and professionally.
• Quote:
  • Tyler (03:13): "Don't buy that T-shirt [ride or die] until you look at yourself in the mirror and go, am I a loyal person?"
  • Mike (07:04): "There's no circumstance that would change that loyalty... I need loyalty, and I need commitment."
  • Tyler (07:56): "I would never snitch. I don't care. It's almost like I respect criminals more nowadays."
• Summary: The hosts discuss what loyalty means after careers in law enforcement and the military. They contrast true loyalty with self-serving behavior and reflect on how it becomes a priority with age.

---

2. Transition Into Iran Conflict (11:17–18:13)

• Theme: Pivot to the urgent topic—escalation in Iran, including recent airstrikes and the shoot-downs of U.S. jets.
• Tyler recounts recent events: "There's the F15 that was shot down... three of them so far, I think."
• Discussion on the new complexities and skepticism about the motivations behind the strikes:
  • Mike (12:34): "This whole war thing, they're pretty accurate, though. It's... a little suspect to me."

---

3. Questioning the Justification for War (15:00–20:30)

• Theme: Skepticism over the motivations and timing of U.S. intervention in Iran.
• The hosts role-play a military notification of a KIA to dramatize the disconnect many feel:
  • Mike (15:00): "I am General Mike from the United States Army. I'm regret to inform you that your child was killed..."
• They probe why the U.S. is striking now, echoing Iraq and Afghanistan war frustration.
  • Mike (16:38): "If it's simply because Iran is mean... we have Chicago, Memphis, DC... other problems in our country, health care..."
• Recurring question: "Why now?" They note the risks for soldiers’ families, analogizing unnecessary police pursuits to unnecessary conflict.

---

4. War, Geopolitics & U.S. Foreign Policy (18:56–24:10)

• Theme: War as an American economic driver and the recurring cycle of military action for unclear objectives.
• Mike (21:09): "So far this year we've taken out leaders of Venezuela... bombed Iran. And it's going to be 'threat to America'..."
• Tyler (24:10): "It's almost like investment, though. They spend trillions now in a five-year war, they get a quadruple back."

5. Societal Impact & Military Culture (21:41–32:00)

• Theme: The meaning of service, recruitment spikes in wartime, the psychological pull of war for young men.
• Nick (49:01): "We are the United States of America. The most ferocious, dominant, balls to the wall superpower that ever existed on this planet..."
• Tyler reflects on raising a son during these times: "This could affect my son... Am I gonna be like, go get 'em, America, or say, son, this isn't worth dying for?"

---

6. War, Money, and Truth (32:00–38:00)

• Theme: Critique of "the war machine," government narratives, and public manipulation.
• Discussion covers World War II mythologizing vs. present skepticism, and the question of whether wars are really fought for freedom.
  • Mike (34:52): "Did 400,000 Americans need to go die now? You sprinkle in Pearl Harbor, but you can conspiracy that..."

---

7. Free Speech, Israel, & Political Taboo (36:16–41:00)

• Theme: The intersection of legislation, free speech, and U.S. support for Israel.
• Tyler highlights Florida’s controversial statutes on criticism of Israel, blending anti-establishment humor and commentary.
• Quote:
  • Tyler (37:15): "If you didn't watch Friday, please watch the reel. It is actually illegal to suggest anything negative about the Jewish people."
  • Mike (42:06): "Also put in a statute book that you cannot talk badly about Jews or Israel."

---

8. Panel Segment: Is War in Iran Inevitable? (48:20–63:32)

• Guest: Nick (from Good Cop, Bad Cop Podcast)
• Theme: Pro vs. anti-intervention arguments.
• Notable moment: Nick’s "America hype rant" (49:01–50:57) — an ultra-nationalist, pro-military monologue, followed by rationale for U.S. action in Iran.
  • Nick (52:11): "We toppled the regime because we didn't deem them to be friendly enough for us. So since then, Iran has been killing Americans across this globe..."
• Panel questions:
  • Should the government explain wartime decisions?

Tone & Style

The discussion is frank, irreverent, and veteran-centered—mixing black humor, cynicism, patriotic fervor, and combative debate with moments of deep honesty about trauma, brotherhood, and skepticism of authority. The hosts lean heavily into first-responder, blue-collar, and military subcultures, and are unfiltered in both criticism and praise for American government, policy, and allies.

---

Closing Thoughts

The episode’s recurring question—“Is war in Iran inevitable?”—is explored from multiple angles: patriotic, skeptical, practical, and conspiratorial. While guests like Nick adopt a “kick ass” attitude, others press for more accountability and openness about U.S. motives. Throughout, the hosts emphasize thinking for oneself, asking hard questions, and being prepared—whether mentally, physically, or spiritually—for whatever comes next.

[Tyler]

All right. One thing we're going to address before we get into Iran, which is going to take up the majority of the episode because that's just a show right now. Whether or not we should be there, split down the middle. I want to talk about loyalty.

[Mike]

There's a song for this.

[Tyler]

What is it?

[Mike]

There's like a rap song. Good.

[Tyler]

Okay. Loyalty. If I went to you and I use this comparison with somebody the other day. If you're a Christian, you say, are you a Christian? They say, yes, I'm a Christian. I go, okay, if you went to Jesus and said, hold on, Jesus, I'm going to hear the devil out. I want to hear what he has to say. There's two sides to every story. I'm just going to hear him out real quick. Would you call that being a loyal Christian? And that person's. Most likely. If they're going to. Christians can say, no, absolutely not.

[Mike]

No. If you, you don't even. You're not even supposed to give devil a chance to speak to you.

[Tyler]

Nope.

[Mike]

You go, there's. That's not part of my life. I am a Christian. I am. I believe in the word. I believe in this. And I will not even listen to the other side.

[Tyler]

And if that person did you wrong and you look at that person and go, so do you feel what you did to me was loyal? Using that comparison, that model? And they go, that person is not loyal to you?

[Mike]

No. I'd say no.

[Tyler]

So all these that want to sit here and say the ride or die, right? I'm ride or die. I buy the T shirt. Don't buy that T shirt until you look at yourself in the mirror and go, am I a loyal person? Because you're on a journey with somebody, doesn't matter what it is. You're committing crimes. You're cops, right? You gotta face admin. You're a family going through some kind of divorce or split. Loyalty matters so if we're on the same journey, right, and you look at me and go, tyler, I'm gonna look out for my own self interest. I'm going to weigh these options. You are on your own journey. That is not loyalty.

[Mike]

No.

[Tyler]

And I'm not talking about someone doing some wilding out and dragging you down with them. For anybody that wants to comment at this, I'm saying that if you're on the same path with somebody, the same journey, and that person is looking out for their own best interests, they're not loyal to you. Now, that being said, I ain't gonna be addicted to somebody that's not loyal to me. I'll answer your phone calls. I'll be friends with you. But I. I'm telling you right now, I know for a fact there's two loyal people in this world to me. That is my wife, and that is you. I'm not saying there's not other loyal people out there. I just haven't shed enough blood in the same mud with them to know, and I can't wait to find out. But shedding off people that aren't loyal to me is, like, number one priority in my life right now. And it's. It's. Once you look at it like that, loyalty is a very simple concept. It's very simple.

[Mike]

And. And my version of that, and to spin off that a little bit is you will to remain loyal. And I don't mean fall like, hey, like, I can't do the show anymore, Todd. I'm gonna go home like, I'm broke. Like, that's not. That's not lacking loyalty. That's like, hey, man, I'm telling you. But if I go behind your back and don't tell you and then end up on somebody else's show or another place, that's very disloyal. When I look at loyalty, I would. And I told you that. I told you know, for people want to know. I knew Brent was going to leave six months before he did. I think I had a good feeling. I could see his behavior. I watched his tendencies. And I said to you, I will not let you fail. Like, I will be here for this. Whatever. Whatever we got to do, I'll do it. And that required. I said, if I had to drive every day, which I'm at two days, I don't care. I said, I know. And I kind of felt the same way about you. I'd gone through my whole life with people around me, and I'm like, I thought these guys were loyal. I Thought. And then I meet a guy two years ago, and I go, I've known a guy four months, and I can tell he's loyal. I know. I know that there's that relationship with somebody that immediately that goes, I'm going to go to war for this guy. And there is no circumstance that would change that loyalty, other than me going up front, hey, man, I'm failing in life. My marriage is. Or whatever it may be, I need to bail out of this. And you would go, okay, like, I get it. I understand. But it's funny. When all those people around you that you found out weren't loyal, there's one person that they didn't call. They didn't call me.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Now, one time, they called everybody else. They backdoored you to everybody else. My phone didn't ring one time from any of those people to try to, like, backdoor you or snake you. And I think that speaks of what our. Our loyalty shows each other when these people watch. There's no question. There's no question. And it's. It's simple. It's not even. It's like, you couldn't offer me a million. Somebody walking her a million dollars and say, I need you to bail on Tyler and come. I'd be like, you can suck my dick. You can suck my dick. I don't need it. I don't need a million dollars. I need loyalty, and I need commitment. And I need to know that I have people around me that when I need something, a million dollars, like, something I. If I need something a million dollars can't fix, like, I get cancer or my family needs to be taken care, I know I can call you and say, hey, dude, I'm going out. I'm dying. I need you to do this and make sure this, this, and this happens. I can die peacefully. Yeah, I know you're going to do it. And no million dollars or $2 million or $10 million is gonna help me with that. Your loyalty will help me with that. So that's where. That's how I view loyalty.

[Tyler]

I just know for a fact it gets down to this. I would never snitch. I wouldn't. I don't care. I do not give a It. It's almost like I. I respect criminals more nowadays.

[Mike]

And it's fun. It's. You make fun of me about going after admin, but it's right. I have more criminals that have reached out to me and said, hey, you made an impact in my life 10 years ago. You need anything, let me know. That's more. I get to the third criminal, and that's more than three cops that have reached out to me with that same concept. So I beat that dead horse. But you're right, loyalty is important to me, especially at almost 50. Like, there's all that. That. There's always that. I see that guy go up to people and say, hey, man, I'm gonna give you $10 million. You want that? Sure. You're gonna die tomorrow. You still want that $10 million? I don't want it. So royalty to me goes down to that same thing. I would rather live every day with some people, with. With loyal people, knowing that when I go or. Or when I need something, I really need it. I can count on these two people versus I got all these buddies, and they're telling me this and that. I don't need all that, dude. So I agree with you, man.

[Tyler]

And anybody watching, we're not. We are absolutely not talking about supporters of the show. You. I do not care at all if anybody watches any other show. That is not what this is about. I think most of you know what this is about. It's actually more than that one thing too. I just. I kind of realized a bunch of this morning. So, yeah, it's a.

[Mike]

It's a hard. It's a hard pill to swallow when, you know, I go back to the, like, the agency. I could be working there still, and if I sold my soul, I would be making probably 160 grand as the sidekick piece of. And everybody be going, what a piece of. But I got money. I got money. I got money. Money. I don't need it. I'd rather. Like I said, I'll die tomorrow knowing I can count on these people. People to go, hey, man, take. Make sure this is okay. Make sure you do this for me. And I, I, that's fine. I don't need the money.

[Tyler]

And I'm telling you, man, going and talking to people behind your back. I used to not believe that was a thing. That's a thing. Dude can look themselves in the mirror and go have conversations with other people behind your back about you for their own benefit. For their own benefit. I'm telling you right now. Somebody called me and said, I need to tell you about Mike Dilks. I would tell him to suck my dick. No, I, I would. Then I would tell you, and if you were like, hey, run some counter stuff. You would run it from my phone. I would have nothing to do with that. It's the same loyalty you would give your old lady. It's the same thing. You don't even look. It's loyalty.

[Mike]

Correct. And that, you know, like, I said that coming into this, talking to you, I was at the end of my career, and I knew I didn't have a lot of friends. I was finding out when I ran into you and we started talking and then the counterculture thing, and then ultimately, what happened? It was very easy for me to go. This is simple. And honestly, it's funny, you and I have had. We've had to deal with a ton of problems. Never once have we had a problem between either of us. It's very easy conversation. I know when I call you, it's straight up. It's not going to be repeated. It's not going anywhere. We can disagree. We've yelled at each other a few times. We've disagreed on some things. But at the end of the day, it's like, I know when that phone hangs up, I don't have to worry about Tyler going, Mike said this. Oh, I'm gonna go tell it. I don't have to worry about.

[Tyler]

Or me going. I'm gonna look for other opportunities.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Because I got in a disagreement with Mike. That's like fighting with your old lady and then going and putting your dick somewhere else because you're mad at her.

[Mike]

Like, over, like, where we went to dinner.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Like, oh, man, we didn't go to Texas Roadhouse. I'm cheating on this.

[Tyler]

I ran, I ran, I ran. I heard my phone came on the Barbaran song. I have, like, 5, 000 songs. And it was. It sounds like bomb Iran.

[Mike]

Yes. And they made one and they talked about. I think McCain sang it once to start, but yeah. This is an interesting time right now. What's going on? If you wanna. I got my version of it. Probably gonna be unpopular, but Efren says

[Tyler]

nothing but love for the community. Love what y' all have billed. Thanks you, Efren. And we've got a Johnny Edwards with the surfer emoji. Thanks, brother.

[Mike]

Some people hate that.

[Tyler]

The surfing.

[Mike]

Yeah, I did that once, and somebody roasted me, dude.

[Tyler]

I do it all the time.

[Mike]

Yeah. Roasted me. So.

[Tyler]

So there we did an emergency broadcast. What was it? Saturday morning. I mean, we knew nothing more than what anybody else knew. We were just trying to kind of. If you didn't want to watch Fox News. We were just trying to replicate the same type of thing. There was no. Actually, a lot of info came out Saturday evening. Saturday night, we. We couldn't do it because we were doing business, but. And then Sunday Was crazy. There's. There's the F15 that was shot down.

[Mike]

Three of them so far, I think.

[Tyler]

Three of them. Was it friendly fire?

[Mike]

Yeah, allegedly. Over, like, no, Kuwait. Shot him down, I believe, on accident. There's videos of the. Of the soldier in the back.

[Tyler]

Wait's like, hold on. We're kind of new to this.

[Mike]

Yeah. This whole war thing, they're pretty accurate, though. I mean, it's good. Good they're on our side because they're. They knocked them down without. They knocked them down pretty easy. So, yeah, there's. There's that. I mean, this is. This is a crazy one, man. This one's a little suspect to me. This whole thing is a little suspect.

[Tyler]

Oh, hold on, wait, what are we doing? I'm gonna play the. Everybody's seen it, but just so we. So we know what we're looking at.

[Mike]

Producer Tyler.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I'm here, baby. I'm here now. He ejected, obviously.

[Mike]

Yeah, all of them. Some of them had two people in it all. Every pilot so far has survived.

[Tyler]

Did you see the one? There's a. I guarantee you it's a. They're gonna clean it up and give this guy, whoever took the picture, an award. But it's the American soldier like this and the Kuwaiti that was about to hit him with a tool.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Did you see that? Yeah.

[Mike]

And he saw that, he's American, and he was like, okay, we're good. Yeah, I saw it.

[Tyler]

I mean, that kind of goes to show you. I mean, look at the streets of Iran. The whole concept of this war gets really weird because Mike's got a different take on it, I guess, and I really don't have a take on it because I. Geopolitics, to me is, like, kind of pointless to follow because the entire world's corrupt. But I see the people of Iran cheering, and it reminds me of Iraq. But when we freed Iraq, we were like, all right, you're free. Go. And they have never. I think since 1979, early 80s, Iran has not been free like it used to be. So that whole generation of people that we're freeing doesn't know what to do with freedom. It's anarchy and lawless.

[Mike]

Well, you had. So you had. You had. You were told. We talked about this. You were told for 9, 11 you were going to find weapons of mass destruction. It wasn't. That's what you're told, right? It wasn't about the actual destruction of the Twin Towers. That was the initial. And that would be similar to this, where they go, okay, they did something. Let's go kill their leader. Kind of like Venezuela. Right. So you then when you were told there's weapons of mass destruction. We spent many years there and didn't find them. Right. So my take on this is we've lost Colin Powell. We've lost, I believe, five people so far.

[Tyler]

They were embassy attacks, right?

[Mike]

Four or five people. So.

[Tyler]

And what. Where did we lose them?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Conservative Chocolate]

In other countries.

[Tyler]

So.

[Mike]

So you're. You're. I'm gonna call. You're. You're missing, I don't think. No, I'm actually. I'm Your house.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Okay.

[Mike]

So you have a son in the military. I'm coming in. Sir.

[Tyler]

Hey, what's going on?

[Mike]

I am General Mike from the United States Army. I'm regret to inform you that your child was killed in these bombings over in Iraq or Iran today.

[Conservative Chocolate]

He's gone.

[Mike]

I'm sorry.

[Tyler]

He.

[Mike]

He sacrificed his life for his country.

[Tyler]

He wasn't even supposed to be in combat.

[Mike]

Yeah, but he. He's gone. Due to combat. He is gone.

[Tyler]

I gotta go tell my wife.

[Mike]

Okay. Now you got your wife here.

[Tyler]

Like you want me to cry.

[Mike]

Whatever you want to do. I mean, he's gone. That's all you know right now.

[Tyler]

Okay. I'm just gonna stare at you in disbelief. Yeah.

[Mike]

And then I'm sure at some point you're gonna ask me what war, what combat he died and why.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I haven't even been watching the news. I didn't even know he's in combat.

[Mike]

Yeah, we don't have an answer for that so far.

[Conservative Chocolate]

That.

[Mike]

My point is we don't have an answer for why we. So we.

[Tyler]

We were. He told us that there was going to be no Internet for a while.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So back out of the call or the visit. Why. Why now?

[Tyler]

Right.

[Mike]

So we. We went in, we bombed the leader. What now is the reason. And if you say, well, he's really mean, he's a terrible person, we needed to get rid of him. My question is why now? We've known for 37 years. Bragging on there. This guy's been in Power Dog 37 years.

[Tyler]

I'm gonna say it's because they would not make a deal on no nuclear weapons.

[Mike]

Okay. That would make. They wouldn't make a deal before either.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Mike]

They wouldn't make a deal years ago. We bombed them. So. So as a. As a we. This goes back to the pursuit thing for me. Your kid gets killed in a pursuit. We always say there's no pursuit justified in my world.

[Tyler]

That unless you could be A psychopath and say, I support it.

[Mike]

Okay, so you do. But now you lost a child to the no new war president.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Because it's not like I sent my child to Iraq or Afghanistan knowing in the back of my mind it's possible.

[Mike]

Yeah. They were in a nice. Yeah. Embassy. So when you look at this and say, why. So if you have to answer that question, why now? I don't think we have that answer. And I know the government doesn't have to tell us anything, but we have a president that said, no new wars. We're not going to do anything. We're going to keep it calm. I'm the greatest and I'm not knocking Trump. I'm just giving you an aspect that you're losing Americans now. And if it's simply because Iran is mean and they're mean to their people, I would bring it back to, we have Chicago, we have Memphis, we have dc, we have la. We have all these other problems in our country, health care, all these other problems. Unless you can maybe tell those families, well, your, Your house was on the radar for a nuclear weapon next week, and it was going to be blown away. And in order to stop that nuclear weapon from coming to your house, we had to launch this attack. And unfortunately, your son died or your daughter died.

[Tyler]

So you're talking about the average person agreeing with this war.

[Mike]

I'm talking about the average person and then the people that have lost children. Like, yeah, your son joined the military, your daughter joined the military. There was obviously he was a radar tech. Yeah. There was a high probability that something could happen. But why? And that's where I think we're gonna get the people that say we're babies, we're puppets to Israel and maybe the Saudis. It's like all the, All I've heard is the Saudis in Israel were sick of. They were worried about something. We go over there and we bomb Iran.

[Tyler]

Do you agree with it?

[Mike]

Personally not.

[Tyler]

I know you're trying to report.

[Mike]

I like to be MAGA Mike sometimes and go, you know, it bomb Iran does. This guy is. I feel terrible for the Iranian people. I feel terrible. There are people in the world that have to suffer. I feel even worse for, you know, I feel about animals. There's animals all over the world running around getting eaten. So I feel bad. I'm a very soft person when it comes to my feelings for other people suffering. I don't like to see other people suffer. But when we start losing our own people to no new wars, and I would think that People want a tangible visual item to go. It was eminent that this guy had. These people had the power to destroy America. America's pretty far away. We're pretty far away from them. Can they get a missile?

[Tyler]

So I thought last year was, was it last. It was June last year. We destroyed all of their. We did strategic strike.

[Mike]

Well we did. I think it goes. Yes, we did strateg strategic strikes before but right now who's close to them? Israel, Saudi Arabia.

[Tyler]

So you're saying we shouldn't. We. I'm not, I'm asking if you think it sounds like you're saying that we shouldn't make a good call because we're worried about retaliation.

[Mike]

I would, yeah, I would think we're doing this as a favor to, to other countries. There's no way they can get to America. They can't get to us from Iran. They're not going to be able to get anything to us. We're very far away. Our anti. Anti missile and our system is good enough to not allow. So we're way over there and it's going to be spun. I'm sure that there was abilities to have nuclear weapons are not allowed.

[Tyler]

That's what that's already spun. That's the whole reason.

[Mike]

Right.

[Tyler]

But, but they can, I can make a deal.

[Mike]

It goes back to, it goes back to weapons of mass destruction. I can play that every time, every time I can just go well we heard Iran was getting nukes. As a parent of one of those children that died and you go was there a direct threat to our country or are we out playing Israel's puppet again? Or are we over there listening to the Saudis going hey, we're right here. There's a danger to us maybe with some localized missile attacks. Is there a direct threat to America? And if not how do you like just like the pursuit. How do you justify like Americans dying when it's not our, it's not our problem. And I'm not. That's me creating a situation.

[Tyler]

I'm not saying I think it's about half the country right now. Yeah. I mean because why, why can't, why can't Iran do it? Why can't Saudi Arabia and Israel do it for him? Yeah, it's in their best interest. So there's got to be something in it for us.

[Mike]

Everything over there, dude, we got all our assets are over there.

[Tyler]

I would imagine that this is just the typical war machine war. War makes money and people. I honestly think our economy thrives on war and individual people at in Big places of power. I mean, I, the fact that we just kind of glazed over Dick Cheney and just made a Netflix documentary movie about him and then just left it at that, like it he owned.

[Mike]

And I tried to be like, America, America. I try, but I can't be so blind to go, huh, like so far this month we've gotten. Or so far this year we've taken out leader of Venezuela on the guise of. And I'm not saying it's wrong, drugs coming into America, okay, let me take out a drug lord in Mexico because drugs are coming to America. Then we go all the way across the globe and we bomb Iran. And it's going to be, oh, they were, they were a threat to America. And it's like, but look at all the guys.

[Tyler]

Look at, look at everybody you know in the chat that's, that's going, that's in, either in the military or signing up to be in the military. This is an exciting time. You get to, you get to go do the things that the generation before you did. And nobody wants to join the military during peacetime. What's the point? Obviously for free college and maybe a job skill. But if, like, if you're like, if you're an infantry dude joining during peacetime, like you, you got big balls, dude, because that's a boring ass job when there's nothing.

[Mike]

So the recruiting numbers around. What is that song playing back there? Oh, look at the numbers. They just jumped. We had 3, 000 kids joined yesterday because, I mean, I get it, I get it.

[Tyler]

Trump said in his thing, he was like, oh, the bombing of the USS Cole and then like the suspicious involvement of a bombing of an embassy back in the day, like, whoa. And now we're getting kind of.

[Mike]

And we have the. Iran took those guys back in the day. Well, they put the Navy guys and they held them at gunpoint, but that was what, years ago?

[Tyler]

You might as well talk about the Iranian hostage thing. That was like in the late 70s or 80s or something. The reason why like Delta Force was created.

[Mike]

You can't tell me during his first four years this Iran wasn't a problem. It's been a problem for. He said it. 40 years, 30 some years this guy's been in power. It's just why now? And I'm not against it. I'm not coming out against it. I'm just saying when you have Americans dying, I think their families need to know a little bit more about why now.

[Tyler]

Why do you think now? I think I might have asked this earlier, but I don't know if I asked it as direct.

[Mike]

I, I mean, it's, it's oil, man. It's money. Oil.

[Tyler]

It's money for me. I don't understand oil. I understand money.

[Mike]

It's. I mean, come on. I mean, unless you could go, without a doubt, there was nuclear weapons being produced, they were going to be a danger to the world. But then you get back to that. Why can't Israel just do it then? They're already there. They live right there. Saudi Arabia is right across the ocean, right across the water. You go, boba, like we sent aircraft carrier to aircraft carrier. I get it. We killed 40, some pieces of. I do not want to hear Iranians are suffering, they're getting murdered. I don't want to hear that. I don't hear anybody's getting murdered or suffering. But sometimes America has to go, hey, man, we got a problem here. We got health care. The government shut down once it's imminent again. We have ICE shooting people. We have a whole epidemic with our immigration policy. How many, how much money you think was spent in the last four days? Trillions. Trillions, dude. How much money you think we'll spend the last four days on that operation?

[Tyler]

It's almost like investment, though. They spend trillions now in a five year war, they get a quadruple back. I mean, look at Teflon Turnx 2, though I'm 27, I leave for 11 Bravo this week. Let's go, boy.

[Mike]

Hey, man, get your. Yeah, look at us wearing war hats, going, hey man, this is for the war within. This has nothing to do with the war machine.

[Tyler]

So that was Teflon. I know Liz said, For $5, don't we fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here since we have open quarters.

[Mike]

Yeah, if, I mean, if they have information that they were that close to nukes and they're. And they're dangerous, I, I'm good, man.

[Tyler]

Do you think they would have released it by now?

[Mike]

I mean, they would have come up with something. It's kind of like we just had to do it. This guy you think about, he, you know, you're just like anybody else. It's fabricating when you're talking to them, when they over explain or they over emphasize. He was just a bad man. He was so bad. He was so. And then it's like, all right, people of Iran, it's on you now. Go figure it out. You go, your government's destroyed. Go figure it out. And I get. He's saying we're not going to go in there like we did before and try to help you restructure your government. We bought it.

[Tyler]

They're all gone.

[Mike]

They're all go. That's what he says, they're all gone. But as the president, you know, you lose one service member to an act of war, there is a family that want, is going to want to know tangible information about why did my son die? Why did my son die then now there's multiple.

[Tyler]

Yeah, your pursuit thing is actually on point. We were, we were enforcing law and order, whether it be the police or global law and order. And your son was a casualty that we knew could happen. Yeah, and, but at the end of the day, I feel like that he signed up.

[Mike]

Not only there, he was in the zone. You were bombing Iran. And here are all these places they

[Tyler]

were going to get hit. They had to have known. The American government had to have known.

[Mike]

So did the systems fail? You got anti missiles?

[Tyler]

Well, they gave him a warning. Incoming, incoming. Get inside.

[Mike]

Yeah, but got inside. The whole building blew up. Like that was a bad idea. So. Yeah, yeah, I just, I'm trying to play that side of it that, you know, I get it. The, the red blooded American eagle bomb them, bomb everybody. We're America and I, I get it. But man, you know when you start losing people and we lost, you know, thousands of people over that time in the Gulf or in Iraq and Afghanistan, it's like all those people, you know, came up empty. There was no weapons of mass destruction. So what was, what was it for? We didn't kill bin laden until what, 2011. So it's like, did we need to be there the whole time or 2012? My dad died in 11, maybe 2012. But it's like, okay, so now you got it again. And, and he made the statement, dude, no new wars. No new. Well, you can't skirt. This one is not a war. You have a strategic bomb. You have a strategic plan with multiple countries to carry out multiple bombings. It's an act of war, dude. What are they supposed to go? Oh, that's just us getting punished for not having nukes. That's not a war. It's a war, dude. Okay, you spin it.

[Tyler]

Do you think there's going to be boots on ground?

[Conservative Chocolate]

I don't know.

[Mike]

He's gonna. If he does, man, he's got a lot of explaining to do because he

[Tyler]

said he wouldn't do it.

[Mike]

No new wars. He was going to end the Ukraine war. That would have never happened without. If I was in. I'm End it right away. We got a guy coming on later to tell you it's still, still pumping over there. And I'm not anti Trump, anti America. I'm not trying to be that guy. I'm just saying, you start losing Americans, man, you got to be able to tell the American people what was a direct threat to our country. Are we just babysitting or are we the, the real one is, I've seen the memes with Trump on a leash. Are we just cucks to Israel again? There's, it has to be talked about. Are we just. Israel said so? So we have to, I mean, I don't know. There's, it's always open for debate about why. And just like the police, when they shoot somebody, we always talk about that. They come, Usually the good ones that are squared away, they come right out. JSO goes right out. Here's a body cam, here's what happened. Sucks to suck. I think the American people need to hear, like, very specifically, especially those families, this is why your kid died.

[Tyler]

And John, I mean, I, I saw his comment in there. Like, I, I, I'm a big believer in the tip of the spear, like you or the, the sharp spear. If we don't go to war for 10 years, how behind are we going to be in technology, tactics?

[Mike]

So it's training, huh?

[Tyler]

It is. We've been doing it forever. It's like we don't want to. But I, then I was talking to somebody on, on another podcast that I was on, and I'm like, but when's the last time we were in a legitimate war? World War II is looking like a fallacy. World War I was a fallacy. Like, when was when? I mean, I keep learning about these wars, and I'm not talking about college war history. I'm talking about real knowledge that's not in textbooks that I'm learning on Instagram.

[Mike]

Are we ready, Are we ready to say all war is about money and power and, and other things?

[Tyler]

You can't not have war either. Good. You, you gotta, I mean, that's like saying, bro, that's like you training and not training, because you're never going to need to use it.

[Mike]

You can train, you can train, you

[Tyler]

can train, but it's like you, but training. You need an opponent.

[Mike]

Yeah, you spar, you have sims, you have.

[Tyler]

It's not the same, dude.

[Mike]

Yeah, I get it.

[Tyler]

It's not the same. You need to do your roles.

[Mike]

All right, so there's a training event. This is jrtc. JRTC operation in Iran.

[Tyler]

Look, I mean, even SWAT teams benefit from the global war on terror. Yeah.

[Mike]

Because it cranks up their, their. Yeah. The Patriot act gets an act. They start violating.

[Tyler]

They start violating citizens and suppressors and night vision and helmet. I think they advanced the helmets like four times since I've been.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah, they're getting ready to get all the hand me downs now. The old, the old armored vehicles are coming. We gotta buy new ones. Man, SWAT teams are gonna be out there with, I mean, machine guns and everything.

[Tyler]

We left it all in Afghanistan to turn around and need it in what, four years. We gave it all to the Taliban. Yeah,

[Mike]

yeah.

[Tyler]

Yes. Let's talk about the Jews.

[Mike]

Watch the numbers go down good.

[Tyler]

Johnny Edwards says all good questions, boys. Keep up the good work.

[Mike]

Can I say something? That's what we're here for. Like, we're not here to be an expert in anything. We're. I, we're both mildly retarded.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Yeah.

[Mike]

We're trying to generate conversation for you guys on the most GED level education we could possibly provide. I don't want to, I don't want to try to dive in and be a, a guy that just gets one dimensional about one topic. And just, just as it. I'm on the hill on this. We're going to bring the conversation points. I'm going to give you my real life, applicable father, cop, military, vet version of what I think. And you call me a stupid, but our goal is to generate conversation within this community and have everybody have some type of information to go out and kind of do a little bit more your own research and then we come back and we talk about again tomorrow, we talk about again Wednesday and we just educate each other.

[Tyler]

I mean, my son, my son's 13. By this timeline. By this timeline. I was my son's age when we bombed Iraq in 2003. I was 13 years old. I was exactly his age. I ended up five years later in Baghdad deployed. So this could affect my son. Yeah, this could definitely have a huge impact on his life. And it could be him at 18, 19 years old going, dad, I want to go now. I'll be 44 at that time. Am I gonna be like, go get about America. Or am I gonna be like, son, this isn't worth dying for. I think about that all the time. And your son wants to. Your son, if you're a good father, wants, doesn't want to let you down. I think maybe impress you is not right. Where your son is never going to want to let you down. Your son's always going to be. No matter how different he tries to be, your son is going to want to impress you and he's always going to have that thing. Especially you know, when you go to war, it's always going to be part of your life. And so when you know, he sees the pictures, he sees the tattoos, he's, he doesn't hear the stories. If, if you're telling your 13 year old stories about warrior doing something wrong, I'm not talking about life lessons about war. I'm talking about oh, I killed this dude. They probably didn't do it but you know, he. And all the, and all the let's call it bonfire conversations that he overhears you having with your boys and he just by nature isn't allowed to be in that. The tribe warriors are all talking around a fire and he's a young and he's like, man, what would I do to be that in that conversation? My dad was doing all this stuff. There is no telling that child at 18, 19 years old, don't do that.

[Mike]

Don't do what. I think you have better now is obviously Internet, the ability for them to see it. When you go back to World War II, we always called them the, the greatest generation of Americans. And I said that and as I learned more now I see, listen, I said that and I thought that before, you know, when I had my midlife crisis as a white male and I watched, I watched a year's worth of World War II documentaries, Divorced in my mom's bedroom, you know, in my mom's house and I was up all night drinking alcohol and watching documentaries. I was like, yeah, I'm like, dude, we had the greatest. 400 000American people died roughly during World War II that were like, America, were they lied to? Were they lied to about what was really happening? Were they lied to about the reason they were going to war? Was it all painted in a way that 400000 kids went and got killed for what? So now here we. You fast forward it where everybody can see it with their own eyes and go. I had that same question when I joined at night. I joined at 19 post Gulf War, just before 9, 11. And But I was like, this is the right thing to do. I just watched that other war go down and we went over there and I'm like, I want to, you know, be an American. I want to do what's right for my country now. Yes, you have to look at and go somebody else telling us to go do this. Are we doing this for just because we want oil or power or because we owe Israel something like, why are we going to do this? 400, 000 kids died in World War II because they were told the guy on TV yelling was, you know, wants to destroy the world.

[Tyler]

What was he saying, Mike?

[Mike]

I don't know what he was saying. I actually did this.

[Tyler]

I've never heard that.

[Mike]

I accidentally did the hand gesture, but I don't. Everybody else. I was. I had to twitch him out of context.

[Tyler]

I was on. But we.

[Mike]

They were. They watched these videos of this guy screaming on tv, and they said, you got to go, like, stop that. I'm not. I'm not here to debate all that. I'm just saying that, dude, two years

[Tyler]

ago, I was like, oh, World War II was the last war we fought, whether between good and evil. All the movies, Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, all this movie, Schindler's List,

[Mike]

they told you all these things, and then you go, did 400 000Americans need to go die now you sprinkle in Pearl harbor, but then you can conspiracy that. So it's like, yeah, once they bombed us. Okay, now we got to do something. But up until that point, I watched all the documentaries. 1706.

[Tyler]

Let me ask you.

[Mike]

Suicide. Because they couldn't join the military.

[Conservative Chocolate]

They were so.

[Tyler]

They.

[Mike]

They felt so insufficient that they went to MEPs and they said, no, dude, your. Your legs are three inches off or you got some disease. They went home and killed themselves because they wanted to join so bad, because that's what they were conditioned to believe.

[Tyler]

I mean, Pearl Harbor. Answer me this. Pearl harbor happens. Why we go to Europe? I. I don't know. And I'm sure there is a. I'm sure there is a educational textbook reason on why the military went to Europe.

[Mike]

Straight to Europe. I don't understand. Straight.

[Tyler]

There were we just all in at that point.

[Mike]

Yeah, I mean, that was. I'm not gonna go down that road. But I mean, there was. Had to get something to get us in definitively. And they said, well, these guys are with these guys, so we got to go. These guys and these guys. And I'm not here to be a history buff. I'm not here to be. I'm just looking at. From a common man's perspective, without Pearl harbor, we probably don't go. And we went. And then I look back now and go, did 407 roughly thousand American kids need to go die?

[Tyler]

Were the Jews behind World War II? And I was told I made a reel that I'm about to Drop today. Ready? What it's called? It's called the Jew Law or something like that. It was us talking on Casual Friday about how Florida has a state statute to say that you cannot talk bad about Israel.

[Mike]

It matter of fact, it starts, it's at the beginning of the statue book. It's most important third thing in the statue book passed by DeSantis.

[Tyler]

Yes. Which people are saying he's a Trump puppet and Trump's a puppet of Israel. So it's all this puppeteer strings. But I remember I looked at Heather and I was like, look at the COVID I made. And she goes, well, you can't put the Jew law. You have to put the Israel law. I'm like, no, because that's what I. I used to sit there and try to be PC and go, hey, man, let's separate Jews from Israel.

[Mike]

Right?

[Tyler]

Jews from Israel. I think sometimes some of the criticism that wants to be placed on Jewish people, they get to hide behind, oh, that's an Israel. So it's political now.

[Mike]

You're breaking the law right now. I know you're breaking the law. If you didn't watch Friday, please watch the reel. It is actually illegal to suggest anything negative about the Jewish people.

[Tyler]

Zero Jewish people.

[Mike]

Jewish people, Israel or Jews. It says anything to do with Israel.

[Tyler]

I watched that go black for a second. I thought we were done.

[Mike]

You can't. It says right in the statute. You can't insinuate that the hunter, the Holocaust didn't happen. You can't insinuate a Jewish person is lying about it. It's pretty in depth statute. It'll be listening to real. And it's on the books in the state of Florida, passed by Ron Desantis that says you can't do xyz. There's no penalty phase to it. There's no, like, if you do this happens. They just like, I've never seen anything like that. They just threw it in there. It's like, you can't do all this stuff. But doesn't say why. It doesn't say what happens if you do it just says you can't do it.

[Tyler]

I forgot my phone at home also, so I won't be able to upload that till about 2 o'.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Clock.

[Tyler]

So. So just FYI, if anybody's trying to text me right now, Completely forgot my phone out. But yeah, I mean it, dude, it's so easy to go, oh, you guys are anti Semitic. Right? Some posted on our thumbnail today. We put the thumbnail up on Instagram and some says, oh, yeah, you know, do your thing for the goy. You good? Like, go to go. Read it. On today's somebody saying, we're. Where's my ya?

[Mike]

Oh, God, we're really going down.

[Tyler]

You know what?

[Mike]

Oh, boy.

[Tyler]

You know what? You want to call me Goy slap or whatever the you call me. I have nothing against Jewish people. It is like any other demographic. It is. It is a percentage of people, quote,

[Mike]

is warmongering for the Jew machine. I see. That's a good goy. Zog is pleased with you. And literally all we did was question, why now? The thumbnail says why now, Right?

[Tyler]

The thumbnail says, just the war. Talk about the war machine.

[Mike]

Oh, that was the other. That was the other day. War machine keeps turning. So it did what it was supposed to do. That guy takes his side and calls us what we. What he calls us. And then you'll have, you know, I was getting messages from a family member like, ask me, why now?

[Wyatt]

Why.

[Mike]

Why right now do we go? And I'm like, well, that's what the show's going to be about. We're gonna got to talk. And I don't think I'm, you know, I'm not going to take the stand that most people would take on this. I would like to know why as well as you get older, 10, 12, 15 years ago, I've been like, war, let's go. Like, I loved it just like everybody else. I loved the thought of us bombing another country for power, United States power. I loved the thought of doing that. And then I started to go, let me pay attention a little bit more. Let me ask some questions. And I come from a generation of people that weren't allowed to ask questions. When I became a cop, you couldn't ask questions. When I was in the military in 1996, they put their hands on you, they beat you still. They told you, this is. You're gonna do it. There is no why. And that's what. That's the generation I came from. So as I progressed through the police world and I saw the new wars and I saw everything going on, I've always been conditioned to go, I'm not gonna ask why. In the police world, you don't ask why. You're not allowed to ask why. So now I go, well, I'm free and clear from all that. I'm a grown man. I can do whatever the I want. So I ask why, Tyler, why?

[Tyler]

I couldn't tell you, man. I really couldn't tell you. I think that the United States needs to Help Iran, or. Excuse me, I'm sorry, not help Iran. I think we need to go to war with Iran because not that Israel and Saudi Arabia pay for everything for us. It's America needs to help and we should be guilted into helping. Right, Mike?

[Mike]

Yeah. Yeah, you should. Don't want to be on those Epstein files, do you? You know what? You don't want your name released on that list, do you? You better bomb somebody, you better bomb them quick.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah, because I own everything. Including.

[Mike]

Because. Including maybe Epstein worked for us and maybe we know everything about all you guys. And then, boy, that pesky old Iran over there, you might want to get rid of them because, boy, boy, boy, there's like 6 million more files and pictures and things that might come out that might be detrimental to some very powerful people in this world. So bomber, ram bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb. Moran. Is it possible. I'm just making the case. I'm not saying that's factual.

[Tyler]

Absolutely not possible that Israel has evidence and what would you call that? Leverage over the American politicians. And there's no reason why we have anything to do with American going to Iran. It's simply America doing what America's supposed to be the nice guy. We have no involvement.

[Mike]

Yep, yep. We investigated ourselves and determined we did nothing wrong.

[Tyler]

Also put in a statute book that you cannot talk badly about Jews or Israel.

[Mike]

Got it?

[K9]

Got it.

[Mike]

We're good.

[Tyler]

All your boys and Desantis to do that.

[Mike]

What's good? What about cops? We're pick on the first responders. Then we can put in there, you

[Tyler]

can pick up black people, gays, Asians, cops, we don't care. Just don't pick on the Jews or Israel.

[Mike]

Got it?

[Tyler]

All right. War hat back on, baby.

[Mike]

All right, so now I'm in the American cop. So you have let's go to war. So you have to ask those questions. I think it's important to understand. And this generation, and there's a other side of that just generation, like the protesting and the purple hair, people that are in the streets over nothing. I get it, I get it. That's a little too far. That's too many questions being asked. Somewhere in the middle is the right area where you should be conscious of what your government's doing. You should be a good person. You should be loyal to your family, to your people, to your friends. You should want the American dream per se to exist. You should want the country to succeed. But you should also be smart enough to ask questions. I think that's what podcasting and these broadcasting has brought out.

[Tyler]

They don't.

[Mike]

Okay. Yeah. They don't own you.

[Nick]

They don't.

[Mike]

Okay. It's okay to ask.

[Tyler]

I'm not saying I'm not for sale,

[Mike]

but, you know, you can have your sign right down here.

[Tyler]

I just talked about loyalty.

[Mike]

Not for sale per se. We're just selling time on the time on the show to be. Have your ad ready. But no, you're. You're right. You have to ask these questions and your straight media is gonna. Fox News is gonna tell you one thing, CNN's gonna tell you another.

[Nick]

And.

[Mike]

And they're being bought and paid for by everybody. And down the middle somewhere is a bunch of oh johns from Florida, John

[Tyler]

from Point Man Podcast. Please send me that thing you sent me. Please send it to our Instagram because I forgot my phone at home and I do not have the information to me. He sent me actually something pretty cool, but without cool, but very interesting. But yeah, I mean, cannot talk about. Blows my mind. Blows my mind. But would you. Here's the thing. If an entity with the last name Berger Stein wanted to pay you wanted to say, we'll make you the biggest broadcast in the world. You can talk about everything you want, but is real. Or do you. Would you do it? No, I wouldn't do it.

[Mike]

I'm retired. I have enough money to be good till I die. I worked very hard through the corrupted police world and having to listen to the man to get to the point now where I go, you there ain't enough money. There ain't enough money, dude. Because I like it. Goes back to the ten million dollar question. You can give me ten million dollars and tell me I won't be here tomorrow. You can keep your money. I'd rather live the rest of my life going, hey, that's the dude that I got stopped funny last night. I'm in Publix. Old ladies. Oh, I shouldn't say in case they're watching older ladies. The last people on earth that I would expect older, nice older ladies. You're the guy on the podcast. And I'm like, yeah, yeah. She's like, oh my God, I love that you say whatever you want. And then that's. That's. I'd rather. I would rather have that. That somebody looks at me and goes, that dude's saying what he's wanting. He's telling the truth. It was about local politics. She doesn't watch. She watches the local stuff. But I would. That makes more. That makes me feel better than any amount of money on earth to go Here's a couple regular nice people that go to church, do the right thing, and they look at me and go, I'm so happy you're saying what's right, and you're telling the truth about local politics. That made me feel better. I don't give a about money. I don't make any money.

[Tyler]

Wasn't talking about anti air.

[Mike]

No, no, they're local. They're local. They're not ready for this. They wouldn't. They wouldn't watch very long.

[Tyler]

I blew it, dude. I was on the phone with you at Publix, our grocery store here in Florida. I'm on the phone with Mike talking about the.

[Mike]

I heard it happened too.

[Tyler]

And some guy looks at me, and for some reason, I thought he was gonna hit his eyes. I thought he was gonna say, get off your phone. I don't know that why that was in my head, because I didn't have you on speaker. Like some other demographics. I had you, like, in my ear. And he goes, antihero. What's up, man? And I'm like, hey. And I. I. Oh, dude, anytime anybody recognizes me, me, I the bed. Because I am so not that guy. I hate feeling him. I hate that feeling. And when you're not expecting it at your local grocery store, like, if we go somewhere to a live event, you're prepared for it. You're kind of. You're prepared for people to be like, dude, I watched the show. I love it. Like, you're ready for it. Because I. Then I know how to interact with people without sounding like a psychopath. Like, thanks, bro. Thanks for watching my show. Like, I don't think I'm cool at all, but at the grocery store on the phone with you, and, like, I just. The bed, dude. And I, like, I. Last time it happened, was a cop at the same grocery store. He rolled his window down and goes, anti hero. And I was like, hey, thanks. And I kept walking. And my wife was like, wow, dude. If I was that dude, I'd be like, jerk. And I'm like, it's the opposite.

[Mike]

I forgot. I forgot eggs. I forgot the eggs the old ladies got me. I started talking to him. I went. I was like, hey, you want to get Chinese food? So I went next door. I'm sitting there, and I'm like, two ladies walked in front of me and ordered, like, 80 each. And I'm like. So I text my wife, and I'm like, bro, two people just ordered it. She's like, the food's gonna go bad. And I'm like, no, I won't, because I didn't. I forgot the eggs. Anyway. She's like, why are you like this? I'm like, well, it worked out that I forgot the egg, but. Yeah, I get it too. I'm like, when I'm not prepared for it, it's kind of weird. The only time I really got an anti hero one was coming back from the Philly trip to see Nick. A guy at the airport was a Ranger. He's like, hey, dude. And I turned around, I was like, getting into the Uber, and he's like, bro, I watched the show. I'm Ranger Bat. Like, awesome. And I'm like, yeah, you, the bed.

[Tyler]

Cool. Thanks, bro. You actually look more inconsiderate when you're trying to not look like a celebrity. Like, I'm trying to not. I want people to know I don't think that about myself. And I am. I am just as equal as anybody else. And by doing that, I. I look like I don't care.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Conservative Chocolate]

And.

[Mike]

And like you said when we went to, like, OTOA or. Or Washington, D.C. and simple. They're coming up to the booth. We're going out with them after the show. Hanging around, that's easy. But, yeah, when I get caught off guard, even with these two ladies, I'm like, thank you. Yeah, I forgot eggs. I need eggs.

[Tyler]

I feed my pants.

[Mike]

And it's like, the weirdest people, too. Like, her, like, old lady. I'm like, older ladies. Older ladies.

[Tyler]

They probably don't watch Anti Air.

[Mike]

No, they definitely don't. They wouldn't be able to handle it.

[Tyler]

All right, we've got. For our newest segment on Mondays, on

[Mike]

Time, too, we've got Nick.

[Tyler]

He is going. He is the host of the Good Cop, Bad Cop podcast, but he's also a political connoisseur.

[Mike]

He's been on Fox News.

[Tyler]

He's been on Fox News, and he was wearing this exact. Get up. Go ahead and bring Nick on.

[Mike]

Look at the chain, dude. Look at the chain. Got the war hat. Look, we got the war hats everywhere.

[Nick]

I'm pissing excellence and. And apple pie this morning. Gentlemen, how you doing?

[Tyler]

Good, man. You feeling American or what?

[Nick]

Right, man, let me tell you something. I got. I'm gonna go off a little rant right here, if you don't mind. You got me? I got a minute or two.

[Mike]

We got a minute for you. We got.

[Tyler]

All right.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, you got 20 minutes.

[Nick]

All right. I'm gonna take about 18 right now. I got something to say. We are the United States of America. The most ferocious, dominant, balls to the wall superpower that ever existed on this planet. We went to the moon, we planted our flag, we pissed on it. And we dared anyone in the universe to do something about it. We invented the airplane, Internet, smartphone, rock and roll. That's what we invented. And the greatest weapon of awesomeness? The bacon double cheeseburger. When darkness rises. I'm talking about real Nazis, right? Terrorists, ponytail communist bitches. Dictators. We don't negotiate, we unleash hell. We send the meanest, toughest sons of bitches. The most lethal warriors on planet Earth. And we turn their dreams into nightmares. Ask Maduro. Our flag don't wave. We conquer. A broke kid in this country can go from living in a trailer park to. To being a billionaire or even the President. We're not a melting pot. We're a goddamn volcano of freedom. Our free speech is so raw, it scares countries across this globe. Makes tyrants cry. We got a gun behind every blade of grass and in every pickup truck. So every sniveling, America hating, weak kneed socialist bitch crying and apologizing about how great this country is, how awesome America is. You can kiss my stars and stripes, you sorry ass bastards. We don't apologize. We don't kneel. We don't lose. We dominate. This is America, baby. The loudest, proudest, most unstoppable force this world has ever seen. God bless our warriors, God bless the greatest country on earth, and God bless America, you punk ass. So let's go kick some ass and serve up some freedom this morning.

[Tyler]

I love it, man.

[Mike]

I'm ready to reenlist. I'm ready. Clint. Clint, Call in. I'm gonna sign back up. I'm going back in the army. I'm going. I'm going back as a pilot so I can buy my Rand.

[Tyler]

So you think we're doing the right thing, Nick?

[Nick]

Right? We're doing the right thing. We're reversing a wrong that we did in 1979. We took Iran, who was progressive and not in a bad way, leading the forefront in that Stone age area where they were bringing in Western values. The women were beautiful, the music was flowing. And our country decided that that regime wasn't friendly enough for us. So we toppled it. And we, we ushered in the Ayatollah. We're the ones responsible for it. Absolutely. That's a fact. You can look into it. We're responsible for the hell that's been going on. So all these moral police crying about the war, this ain't moral. While we're undoing a wrong. And that's just the one little layer we could peel. I've been watching so many people on social media and unblocking mother or blocking, so I don't want to hear their ass because they can't even get past the first layer of the onion. There's a lot of depths to what's going on right now. So, yeah, we are reversing a morally wrong uprising that we caused in 1970,

[Tyler]

that we caused ourselves as a country.

[Nick]

God damn right we did. We toppled the regime because we didn't deem them to be friendly enough for us. And it kind of went sideways and it went to where we, it didn't really work out for us. So since then, for the last 47 years, Iran has been killing Americans across this globe and other people. They are a cancer. Anywhere that you see terrorism that's sponsored or terrorist acts, I guarantee you if you follow some fucking money back, it'll be going back to Iran. Not to mention that stupid ass Barry and Biden had been giving them billions of dollars unfreezing their, their accounts and assets that were frozen by real leaders because they're, and it gets to the point where I don't even think that they're. They're just stupid and gullible and we're trying to buy their. I'm not gonna say loyalty, but buy them not beating anybody up. But they're complicit in, in what they were doing. So it's treasonous. I can keep going on and on, but I'm gonna let you get some timing.

[Tyler]

No, I'm just saying, like to all the youngsters in here, you know, that are. That are. I mean, there's. I know for a fact there's at least two dudes in route soon to go to army basic training for infantry and then maybe some more after that. What do you have to say to these dudes to keep them motivated because they're self motivated? They were. I, I was there. I'm not saying they're wrong. I was just in that mindset, as you hit your 40s, you come close to your 40s, you start becoming a little bit more of an idealist. But what do you say to these kids? That or when I joined most of the country, it was very pro. Let's go kick the. Out of the terrorists, right? We don't care what country they're in. We don't need to ask any questions. There's WMDs out there. Go get them. Kids. Our generation went out there and then we Learned later. But what do you say to the kids now where half the population, especially this conflict in general, doesn't agree with war? What do you say to them?

[Nick]

Okay, so I heard you guys talking earlier about how Trump said, you know, we're going to take out the leadership now it's up to you. Which I think is absolutely correct. This isn't going to be boots on the ground, long drawn out war like it was with Iraq and Afghanistan. They've been asking for help. We're undoing a wrong and we're giving them the tools and the opportunity to do something about it. Hopefully they rise up, which they've been doing. Now, that being said, I kind of, you know, I'm all over the place politically. I, I can, I, I'm objective, I can have different opinions. You know, I know it's hard to do, especially in this day and age where it's one side, everyone's polarized and it's very team oriented. You know, it's the jersey I'm all in with with this color jersey. That being said, when you sign the papers for the army, you're going to go do what's in the interest of this country, whether you agree with it or not. Sometimes that comes with death. Same thing with a police officer sign. I sign up, I know that I put my life at risk and I'm going to do things that I agree with sometimes or don't agree with, but I put myself in harm's way. It's terrible. It comes with the cost, you know, it is what it is. So when you're signing up, you got to know there's a chance you might die. I mean, people die. I heard like we lost three or four servicemen already, you know, rest in peace. My heart goes out to their family.

[Mike]

Get the tool.

[Tyler]

Let's get that right.

[Nick]

Yeah, I think it was, I think it was three or four. The last time we see. It's up to five. It's terrible, man. Any life loss sucks. We have, we have lives lost in training accidents every year, you know what I mean? So if you think, and I heard you speaking earlier, that we're far away from Iran, this isn't, this isn't, 1880 or 1915 anymore, you know, it's very easily able to reach out and touch somebody no matter where they're at in the globe. And, and you're just not even thinking about, you're talking about missiles. So it's very easy for China or Russia to deliver Iran a icbm, right. Inner intercontinental ballistic missile that can Fucking reach you from anywhere in the world or supersonic. It doesn't take much. And from what I understand, the operation I believe is Operation Hammer where we bombed the shit out of their nuclear facilities last year. They're already back up and rebuilt and running. So apparently they're a lot further ahead than what we think they are. And I'm also firm believer the government doesn't have to tell the public everything. You know I. In due time. They don't owe a dude when it comes to, to sensitive military. Yeah. I mean listen, I'm not saying forever. Not saying forever. But we're in it. It's happening right now. You can't divulge secrets. I mean some just can't be told. And the way this world is now, it's instant gratification. Doesn't matter what it is what you're talking about, whether it's personal or in government, you know, there's operations going on. You can put people's lives at risk and people aren't looking at the bigger picture. Like I, I touched on missiles right. That they can be delivered by China, Russia. But you know, they can us up the Internet to just send in a bug to our infrastructure especially our power grid is terrible. It's very vulnerable and if anyone wants they can shut us down and do it'll. It'll destroy this country quicker than almost anything else. For real. It's a major danger. It's something that we're really. Major danger. It almost rhymes. I'm gonna trademark that major danger.

[Tyler]

Make it a T shirt. Do you think that. With my squishy pants.

[Nick]

That's American too, baby.

[Tyler]

You got swishy pants on.

[Nick]

That's what I'm going to the titty

[Tyler]

bar after this Philly. Do you believe that? Okay, so if America doesn't owe us an explanation now do you think it's right to give us some. Not saying that they gave us a. But if they were like huh, the American people aren't ready for this. We cannot give on why we're doing this. Let's drum up some kind of broader

[Mike]

that back on for when you talk about that.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Okay.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Do you think, do you think it's okay to lie to Americans and tell them that there's, there's other reasons patriotic wise. Like what we're going because I saw a comment in there that said don't, don't fight for the government. Fight for slight further.

[Mike]

Got the tiny hat on.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Are you Jewish right now?

[Tyler]

I am depending on what ideology I'm looking at.

[Nick]

That's bad.

[Tyler]

Depending on what sponsor I'm going for

[Mike]

my thing my thing about and I get the marriage. This is generation is we need to know. I get it.

[Nick]

Hold on, hold on. You're gonna start so many conspiracy theories now that you're and you're a show for Israel.

[Mike]

Yeah. Oh, I was full on beard. You missed it earlier. But as an American, we've been lied to. We, we've been lied to by our government maybe a few times. Maybe jfk, maybe the moon. We got some things in our. In our past that could be aliens questioned as. And it's easy to say for these leaders that are in charge to go ahead go to war. Kids. My kids aren't in this military. I'm going to send you off. I understand we don't got to get on TV and break down the entire thing but when you start losing kids in in what is a no new war president I think he owes the public some explanation of hey man, this was really dangerous. This was. This is why we're speculating. It don't gotta be today, but we should be able to know if our tax trillions of our tax dollars are going to a war or to stop something. I think the American people have the right to know why. Maybe not all the inter. All the little parts, but hey man, four service members dead. Those are kids that stood in front of the crowd raised their hand and said I'm gonna. I'm willing to die for this country. I think their family deserves some explanation of why did they die? That's, that's my take on it.

[Nick]

Okay? I mean, dude, have you been around the last 47 years?

[Mike]

Yeah, I get it.

[Nick]

Did you hear what I said? Iran is tied to everything. Why now though? Why now?

[Mike]

Why now? That's what I'm getting. That's my other question is if I'm a parent and I go, so you waited for my kid to join. 40 years later my kid's dead and I'm being very selfish. I'm being a selfish parent which my kid died. I would be a very selfish.

[Nick]

Okay, hold on, hold on. So you ever hear the term paper tiger?

[Tyler]

No, no.

[Nick]

You don't know what a paper tiger is? So, so paper tiger. You know, just as it says tigers what ferocious and nasty like you know, one of the kings of the jungle, right? It's a beast. Well, there's nothing behind it but paper. You can just rip it up. It looks nasty, it looks mean, but there's no teeth. Nothing's going to happen to you. I Ran at this today within, within its own government. The people have been uprising since the, the Operation Hammer. They're paper tiger. Right now, Right now is a good time to strike. And again, we're not privy to all the sensitive information. From what I understand, they have rebuilt their nuclear program so fast and quickly. And with these negotiations going, going on, which the Trump administration in good faith will negotiate with anybody and try to come up with a treaty. It's a fact, we know that about him. And apparently they feel as though they, they've been drawing and stalling and they're closer to getting some kind of weapon again. I don't know what it is, but this is a time to strike. They're a paper tiger. They're weak. Why would we wait for them to build up their, their defensive systems and make something worse? And they made it known, made it known that they hate our, they hate us. We're their number one enemy. Not Israel. We're the first, Israel's the second. They just happen to, to be closer. They, if they have the means, they will attack us. Dude, there's no if, ands or buts about it. Like, we're gonna have to deal with this. We created this mess again. We did this 47 years ago. We created this mess. It's time for us to end it once and for all.

[Mike]

And like I said, I'm just a guy that generates a conversation. I'm not taking. Because if you go scroll back up Lewis, there's an interesting comment, but go back up James. I think James says up more. There's a big one up right there. That one there. He said, here's a question. Do you think we waited to do this in Iran after making sure our military wasn't ready? That's a good point. Like, maybe under the last regime, we were so soft and not ready that we had to wait. And I'm, I'm not saying that to be fact, but that's a very good question. Question and a very good reason why. Maybe they're like, hey, we can't do this right now. Kind of like ICE was completely decimated and there was no agents. Everybody was working desks. There was nobody out enforcing immigration. Yeah, we had to wait until we were there. So I'm not saying that's fact. That's a very good point though.

[Nick]

Yeah, we were depleted after a 20 year war. Munitions stockpiles were very low.

[Tyler]

All right, well, Nick, thank you so much for your opinion.

[Mike]

If you don't get a volcano of freedom shirt on your site, I'm gonna have it on mine by the end of the day.

[Tyler]

Just so you know, bro, it's. You are way more intelligent that you lead on when you talk about boners and strippers and swishy pants, but you

[Mike]

put on an American shirt and a chain and cowboy hats are yelling.

[Tyler]

We're all listening.

[Mike]

Like wwe. Man, I'm watching that guy.

[Nick]

Yeah. Let me preface this one thing. I'm not saying blindly listen to our government. Questions are fine. You know, you. You didn't understand what I was saying. Peel. Peel some layers back. Go back and watch and figure it out. I can explain it to you. I can't understand it for you, bud.

[Tyler]

I love it. And every single Monday morning thing you

[Mike]

do, segment, you do it with that.

[Tyler]

I can under. What was. I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you, son.

[Nick]

Yeah, I can explain it to you. I can't understand it for you.

[Tyler]

You.

[Mike]

We appreciate it, Nick. Thanks for coming on, being on time and being on the right day and not letting us bully your schedule around.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Yes, sir.

[Tyler]

Later. All right, we're gonna take a quick commercial break. We've got. I think we got CC coming on.

[Mike]

If you're ready, CC can come on right after the break and give us an update.

[Conservative Chocolate]

All right.

[Tyler]

Can we push Kane on to the right? Well, that's all.

[Mike]

Hit the roll, roll.

[Conservative Chocolate]

We'll be back.

[Tyler]

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 with symptom management and synthetic drugs. 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 people to detox, defend and restore. We are the correction to decades of corruption. We are vengeance, Foreign.

[Mike]

Yeah. And if you can't make it for the whole class, we'd love to have you stop by one day, get an interview with you or just shoot the. I got a couple people reached out that says I can't go to the whole conference.

[Clint]

But.

[Mike]

But I'd like to stop. Stop by. You can come see what's.

[Tyler]

Myrtle beach, baby.

[Mike]

Check it out. See what Kenny's about. Kenny's an interdiction legend out there, and we were full, full supporters of the conference. And you'll get to meet a couple dudes that do a podcast.

[Tyler]

Oh, Myrtle beach, baby. South Carolina. All right, C.C. ready?

[Mike]

Nope.

[Tyler]

Nope. Oh, unless you want to bring him in real quick. Yeah. All right, so what we're gonna do is we're gonna flip, flop everything. Well, how are we gonna do Wyatt then? Can I.

[Nick]

Why?

[Mike]

We're gonna have to. While it came early, we're gonna give. Why Five minutes. Give us an update. All right, bring them in.

[Tyler]

Is Wyatt ready?

[Mike]

Wyatt, tell us about, Tell us what's going on in Ukraine.

[Wyatt]

Man, it has been a hell of a week, hasn't it, guys? Especially for y' all the past few days. Again, I apologize for last week. I got called away, no notice, for some vehicle issues. My advice to everyone in the counterculture crew, learn to drive a manual. Please, God, learn to drive a manual, you become a much more. You become a much more valuable person.

[Mike]

You can have a cool BMW if you can drive a manual.

[Wyatt]

Nick G. Nice to meet you. Welcome to the crew. I don't know where they found you, but just for you, I got the. The ten Danish beer today.

[Nick]

Nice.

[Mike]

So what is what, what impact any. I'm gonna be selfish American real quick. What impact, if any, has. Have you seen so far by what happened with U.S. bombing Iran?

[Wyatt]

Well, this will affect the. The Shahed drones, those big Dorito looking things that go flying. I sent you a video last night, everyone buzzing out. That's a nightly thing all over the country. Actually, last week I sent some photos. I took one down with a rifle. It was just flying low, trying to dodge air defense. And I'm like, I'm changing a serpentine belt and I'm like, I can hit that. So that will affect the amount of drones that Russia can receive, even though they, they can manufacture their own.

[Mike]

But there's a bigger impact that you sent me that drone picture. How much, how many, how much explosives is that drone carrying?

[Wyatt]

Usually on average, depending on the model and the mission set, it'll carry anywhere from 10 to 9, 90 kilograms.

[Mike]

I'll do a little damage, huh?

[Wyatt]

Dude, I've had one hit my house. I'm not afraid of them anymore.

[Tyler]

If you're taking, if you try, if you take out a drone, right, are they going to send more to take you out now that they know where you are? Is there a risk to that for

[Wyatt]

the, like the FPV drones when you're like out in Apache country? Yes. I sent a video to Jimmy from my old unit where they took down so many drones that Russia had to send ground troops to try to figure out what was going on. But the Shaheds there, sometimes they're pre programmed, other times there is a pilot, you know, running a, you know, a 4G connection. But there's air defense all around the country trying to shoot them down. So, like me as an individual, I'm not really in any specific danger as long as I'm not near a hospital because that's their number one target is all the hospitals.

[Tyler]

Are you kidding me?

[Wyatt]

Hospitals, that's like the number one target that they aim for.

[Tyler]

I mean, damn. It's one thing to not. To not abide by the Geneva Convention and target medics and target wounded warriors. That's one thing that we just kind of got used to. But I mean, to target hospitals, dude, that's some coward ass.

[Wyatt]

What they say is that there were military personnel in the hospital. So that makes it a legitimate target. Yeah, if you just Google bad.

[Tyler]

Hiding civilians in a mosque, that's almost as bad.

[Wyatt]

Yeah, it's. Yeah, they've done it in every city basically. I can drive around the city and you know, pull up a bunch of phot, just take pictures for you of all the hospitals they've hit. There's a bigger ramification to this, at least for us, because for years now I've been hearing Ukraine's going to drag us into World War iii. Ukraine is causing World War iii sleepwalking into World War iii. Well, now that Israel has attacked Iran, Ukrainian troops are now, it's not an Iran war. It's an is. It's an Israel war. Don't let them convince you otherwise. Israel fired first. Ukrainian troops are now going to be assigned to go to the Middle east and do air defense because we're really good at it. That just broke a few hours ago. Keir Starmer made the request. My understanding is Zelensky is going to agree. We're going to be doing air defense because allied nations have so far refused to learn from us. This has been happening for years. And like I said, I took one down with a freaking rifle. And yet no one else seems to be able to stop them. To stop the, the drone attacks at least.

[Mike]

Crazy, man.

[Tyler]

Damn, dude, I didn't I that they're take. So are you winning the war if they're taking Ukrainian soldiers and putting them in another conflict?

[Wyatt]

Well, my knee jerk reaction is, you know, go yourself. How about you send some troops to us and then we'll send some troops to you. Because I'm looking left, I'm looking right. I don't see any allied troops here. Sure, we'll probably get something on the back end out of it. Some sort of assistance or, you know, materials package.

[Mike]

Some big max. Here's a couple Big Macs and quarter Pounders, man. We, we appreciate your support.

[Wyatt]

Taco Bel Chalupas. Send them. I miss them so goddamn much. I can't express it.

[Mike]

All right, well, yeah, we appreciate it, man.

[Tyler]

We up the schedule Today I got everybody. We're trying to, what we're trying to do is get regular correspondence on. Obviously, people like, I mean, honestly, like you, like, you're, you're not going to be able to dedicate 1145 every day. So we got less busy correspondence like circling around. And we're going to nail it down because we, we love hearing from you. We need a weekly update. You know, it's, it's super weird not hearing from you for a couple weeks. That's terrifying.

[Mike]

Just keep messaging. Just keep messaging me direct like we've been doing. I'll get those videos out as well. That video last night was pretty cool. But our schedule is wild. But you can, like I said, you can be a regular guy. We'll just kind of nail it down and we're leaving you open to move around because obviously you're, you're doing a lot more work than all of us are and you're at a lot more danger than we are. But we, we really appreciate the updates, the pictures. We love hearing from you and we pray for your safety, man.

[Tyler]

Wow.

[Wyatt]

Most people tell me to stop sending dick pics after like the 15.

[Mike]

It's, it's, it's a little smaller than mine. So I'm, I'm, I'm excited that I get to see something like that, man. I appreciate it. Appreciate it, buddy.

[Nick]

Cheer,

[Tyler]

man.

[Mike]

We're, we're packed.

[Tyler]

All right. So is CC willing to wait or we can't. Who, Who.

[Mike]

K's gonna wait.

[Tyler]

Okay, can.

[Mike]

He's not even in there. So we're going right to our chocolate Jewish.

[Tyler]

Our token guy.

[Mike]

Come on in. He can say all the words.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Conservative Chocolate]

What's going on, boys? Don't worry, I got my yamakan.

[Mike]

You got the most information as far as up to date current stats. So give us what's going on in Iran, how many unfortunate casualties we have and what, what is it looking like at this time?

[Conservative Chocolate]

Yeah. So currently we're still tracking four kia, unfortunately, and that's coming through centcom and even one of them being from Kuwait. So anybody who knows, obviously, you know, Kuwait isn't doing nothing crazy when you're over there. So this is, this is pretty insane considering personally I can say I was in Kuwait 22, 23amongst other countries. And in Kuwait, nothing happens. So this is a huge wake up call for the boys over there.

[Clint]

Wow.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Yeah. And all this morning they woke up with sirens. I was tracking that at 5 in the morning when I was looking at all the, the news dropping on X and Everybody else. So five in the morning everywhere in Kuwait was pretty much getting lit up and that's between AJ Camp Arab John Cbku which is like one of the main hubs besides AJ which they're about 15 minutes away. That's Osan information for anybody who's going to comment something crazy about that. It's literally on Google Maps.

[Mike]

What do you think is, you think Iran is just unorganized, just throwing missiles anywhere they can throw them at this point with their lack of leadership at this point or do you think Iran is actually doing calculated attacks?

[Conservative Chocolate]

Honestly I think it's an attrition thing because we've been, I mean you can see on Twitter, you can see on, on any, on any platform really. Even telegram chats that we're moving all of our ADA out of the area. We moved a bunch of our ADA to Israel, we moved it to Jordan, we moved it here, we moved it there and last time I checked we never had ADA in that capacity in places like Kuwait etc so we weren't even really ready to handle an attack like that. And we're getting hit with drones over there.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Mike]

What do you think about that? Like what do you think the strikes on like Dubai and all that are like what is, I mean Dubai doesn't bother anybody around to find out. Yeah, the last people I'd want to

[Tyler]

with is they got a lot of money.

[Mike]

They got a lot of money.

[Conservative Chocolate]

They got all the money.

[Mike]

They stay, they can't, they stay out of. They're like friends with everybody, they stand up everybody's business they have, they're just, you know, infrastructure is amazing, economy's amazing. And why the would you bomb that?

[Tyler]

That's what I'm telling you. It break it down for dumb simple people like me. Iran is bad news. If they're going to respond by attacking innocent civilians that's like some, that's like somebody engaging with the police and grabbing a hostage. That is the same thing. They are bad guys. They are state sponsored, number one state sponsored terrorism country. They're evil people. They're evil people dude.

[Mike]

Because I think Dubai the they hit the airport, dude. Dubai's airport is full of the biggest planes. They got all the huge PL Emirates, all those airlines are like hubbed in Dubai. That's like the center of the world over there for like money. Why would you with those dudes man?

[Tyler]

I, I don't, I don't have a military.

[Mike]

They're very small military, very small military

[Conservative Chocolate]

because they use us to kind of supplement everything. That's why we have boys in Qatar. We have boys in the Emirates. Very nice bases, because they're Air Force bases. So if you get sent over there, boys, GG's eating steak every day.

[Mike]

I'm telling you, if I go back, I need to ask for Emirates.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Go to Emirates.

[Tyler]

Cece, what's your take on the whole. Let's go. Let's move more to the conspiracy side of why we're there. If it's not the fact that they are just evil and they're shitty, they're a shitty country, and they are not making deals as far as nuclear programs goes, if it's not that, and there's something more darker or not so much darker, but deeper, what do you think that would be? Or if you actually believe that at all?

[Conservative Chocolate]

So I. I did want to backtrack real quick just on what Mike said.

[Tyler]

Said.

[Conservative Chocolate]

So pretty much word on the street is that the uae, their. Their king gave the blessing to strike Iran. So that's word on the block right now that he pretty much gave the green light, wink and nod like, yo, go him up. And now here they are retaliating against them, which is crazy considering they're also a Muslim country. So with that being said, it's like a friendly fire incident. Plus, you're messing with the guys who can co sign you getting smoked during.

[Mike]

During Ramadan, too. During Ramadan.

[Conservative Chocolate]

So.

[Mike]

Because all you liberal whites were like, oh, my God, he attacked during Ramadan. Well, so did Iran.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Yeah, Iran attacked another Muslim country during Ramadan.

[Mike]

How about that? Yeah, yeah.

[Conservative Chocolate]

So they're so pretty much. They're. They're smoking Dubai. They're smoking everybody. Matter of fact, I got the list right here, so I can give you guys a quick rundown as well, because it's pretty much been 14 countries in one night. So they hit everybody between Israel, Dubai, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and King Solomon doesn't play that. Iraq, Amman, Syria, Cyprus, which is a small island in the Mediterranean. The uk, they hit a NATO facility from there, France and Italy, but those are all camps within. Within centcom.

[Mike]

I've been told France has already surrendered.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Yeah, France. France already said take it, but they already had the Muslims there. They already had the Muslims there.

[Mike]

We're a Muslim nation too. We give up.

[Tyler]

We're good.

[Conservative Chocolate]

The UK is doing prayer call right now.

[Tyler]

What is the point of that other than being utterly just insane? Like, imagine walking into a bar and going, I have a problem with that, dude. But real quick, I'm gonna punch every single person in the face and then say I have a problem with that, dude.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Yeah, at this point they're just, they're just pretty sloppy. They're just sending shots anywhere they can. But it also, and this is my conspiracy theory, so I'm gonna keep my small hat on right now. My conspiracy theory is that they're doing an attrition thing right now and it's working because a lot of their drones, their one way drones are hitting a lot of them.

[Mike]

So I think they're, they're getting rid of it.

[Conservative Chocolate]

They're trying to get rid of our ADA where we have it because we only have but so much pre placed ADA in places. So you know, let's like even the, in Iraq yesterday, in what was it in Erbil, the cram was going off and that's a great ada, you know, tool that we have. But we don't have crams in Kuwait, we don't have crams in Jordan. So I think they're either doing an attrition thing where they're trying to. Let's see where we go, let's see what hits, let's see what they really do have to stop us. And now let's send some crazy over there, there.

[Mike]

And, and I know we've lost people and I know it's, it's tragic, but would you. From what I've seen, Iran's technology is pretty infant compared to everybody else. I saw a drone hit an apartment building and it didn't even go off. Google's video of an apartment. There's a drone in his living room. Can you imagine being in a country where a drone comes through your window and you're looking at this thing just sitting there like what do I do with it? What am I doing? You think they're showing that, I mean obviously they've done some strikes. Are they showing that they really don't have the back, the, the capabilities to back up their threats?

[Conservative Chocolate]

I think it goes back to the same 20 years. Right. They, they have capabilities, but it's capabilities that you can really trickle down to guerrilla warfare. But, but with that being said, those ten dollar, you know, IEDs was, was us up for a long time.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah.

[Conservative Chocolate]

So, so you can't say that. You know, like on one hand I 100 agree with you, Mike. Yeah, they have infant technology. But hey man, a drone with a bomb, I can still.

[Tyler]

You.

[Mike]

Yeah. You're still killing people. I get it, I get it. I mean obviously if it'll go, if I want to go. The other side of Mike would be the America we're Showing that we can't allow them to get better technology because imagine what they could do if they had real. Real bombs and real nukes or anything. They're willing to just send it out. They're willing to just send it out to 13 countries at once.

[Tyler]

What's the logistics of getting more aerial defense weaponry into the places it needs to be? Is that. I mean, I'm assuming if they haven't done it by now, it's kind of a lot harder than what would anticipate.

[Conservative Chocolate]

I mean, the. It's. I wouldn't say it's harder because it really is. I mean, you put it on the globe master, you, you know, you send it somewhere. Somewhere. The question is the ability to do so. You see what I'm saying? Like, where are we gonna take it from where it's not being used? I have people hitting me up from Israel last night saying that the Iron Dome failed for the first time.

[Mike]

Whoa. I just ran out of. Ran out of it. Just. It's overworked.

[Tyler]

There's literally not enough munitions made.

[Conservative Chocolate]

It's. It's a combination between not only munitions, but attrition. Like I was saying earlier, right? If you send a hundred, you know, one way drones, you're stopping 99. But then that one wrecks you. It hits something crazy. So you can only. You can only help it so much with ada.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Holy crap. I didn't even think about that. The war machine, baby. We got to make more. We got to make more facilities to make more, which mean we need to make more logistical companies to work with.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Somebody called the Cheney up, somebody called Jamie up and tell him I need a war machine at McDonald's.

[Tyler]

Who is the new Dick Cheney? If there is one right now, who's the more war centered, outspoken person like Dick Cheney used to be? Is there anybody like that right now?

[Conservative Chocolate]

There is. There's a senator. I can't remember his name, but it's a senator. It's a senator. Lindsey Graham. That's who it is. Lindsey Graham. That boy is. No, it's a girl.

[Tyler]

His name's Lindsay.

[Mike]

Lindsey Graham is.

[Tyler]

I don't know who Lindsey Graham is. All right, send him a war hat, Mike.

[Mike]

He'll probably wear it. You guys see what I'm dealing with over here, man? I mean, I should just wear a shirt that says glue. I'm the glue holding this together.

[Tyler]

I'm the guy eating the glue.

[Mike]

Yeah, he's a guy. I'm like, tyler, give me the glue bag. I'm trying to piece this back together.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Man, Mike, you gotta get a shirt that says L Glue.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Conservative Chocolate]

L Glue your cosign.

[Mike]

I'm gonna make a Lindsey Graham with a supermodel shirt is what I'm gonna make. And a chip decked out with a war hat with Lindsay Graham, the War Machine. Lindy Graham, war machine.

[Conservative Chocolate]

We're gonna have to bring the Eagles out, boys. Yeah, to bring the Eagles out.

[Mike]

What is an eagle? All right, cc, we appreciate you staying engaged in the comments, all the support you give us. We appreciate. Like I said, man, you can, you know, as much as you can. Come on. We appreciate it. We'll bring you as much as we can. And thank you so much.

[Tyler]

Thank you so much.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Appreciate you, boys. Thank you for the opportunity. Always, boys.

[Tyler]

Yes. Later.

[Mike]

All right, so let's transition from war because we got a lot of that. A lot of sports stuff going. There is a lot of.

[Tyler]

Not even football season.

[Mike]

It's not football season. Let's bring on K9 with sports. Get away from the war talk. What's up, my man? You almost got it, Lewis.

[K9]

Yo, what's up, OG's?

[Mike]

So take us away from the war and get us. What is going on in the sports world or what are we going to see tonight?

[Tyler]

Olympics are over, sport.

[Mike]

Yeah, don't show up with Olympic video. What's going on, dude, talk to me.

[K9]

So NASCAR's been pretty hot lately, man. Obviously all this stuff came out about Michael Jordan and you know, all that was in the news. Well, Michael Jordan is back in the news because the team that he owns. Well, co owns 2311 Racing. Tyler Redick races four. He is the first NASCAR driver to win three races in a row. He won the Daytona 500, the Auto Trader 400 in the Duramax, Texas.

[Mike]

So Michael Jordan sticking it to Michael

[Tyler]

Jordan's gonna touch whatever boy's butt he wants.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah, man.

[K9]

Another three peat for Jordan, man.

[Tyler]

Another 3p.

[Mike]

I think statistically in NASCAR, that's crazy. Like all like 4, 400, like 5, 4, 4, 900, right? Am I right? No, more than that. 800. Over a thousand miles. I'm gonna go with that. I need to know. I need to see him on a blackjack table. 85 is 13 when I look at it on a blackjack table. So I'm standing if the dealer has the six or less. So 1300 miles and this dude weathers all those races and wins. That's a. That's a serious statistic there.

[K9]

Yeah, I mean, he wasn't in the lead for all the races, but at the end of the race he's won.

[Mike]

I mean, all the pit, pit stops, all the, all the crashes, the random happens and the same dude wins three races in a row. It's pretty remarkable.

[K9]

It is, it is. And like I said, Michael Jordan is back in the news. Everybody's talking about another three Pete for Jordan. So another, another thing for Jordan to say, he's the goat.

[Mike]

And what, what else, Anything else in the sports world? You were talking to me about something we kind of glazed over. Do you want to, you want to talk about that?

[K9]

Yeah. So we, we haven't brought it up on this podcast. We talked about it on mine though. But James Pierce Jr. Okay, he's a rookie pass rusher from the Atlanta Falcons. The Atlanta Falcons actually traded up in the draft last year to grab him towards the end of the draft from the LA Rams. So the Atlanta Falcons currently have no first round pick. So at the time being it was fine because this guy was in talks to win defensive player of the year. He had a great rookie season. He was actually projected to be a top 10, top five pick. But because of behavioral issues, he fell in the draft. Well, now he is currently still in jail at the Turner Goford Night Correctional Center. He did end up posting bond, so he did get out $20,500. He ended up. So I have the story here. He was arrested on multiple felony charges, including aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, aggravated stalking, following an alleged domestic dispute with his girlfriend who's actually in the wnba. She's a star player in the wnba. Rekia Jackson Pierce allegedly led police on a chase, struck an officer with his car and crash his vehicle before becoming apprehended.

[Mike]

And that just kind of gets glazed over when you're an athlete, man. Like, isn't that crazy? And no, it's funny is I had

[Tyler]

no idea what you're talking about. And you said lead pass rusher for the Falcons. I was gonna say committed a crime. And I was like, you know what, that's pretty shitty to do.

[Mike]

There were two options in my head. Two options in my head. He was either dead or he committed a crime. Because I've missed the story as well. I kind of remember seeing it now, but I'm thinking, I, I, he told me about on the way here, but I said, don't tell me the whole story. I want to be surprised. And yeah, I was like, got killed by the police in a shootout. Got killed in back in his neighborhood or he's in jail. So that just shows you again, in my opinion that no matter what Happens. How much money? We always talk. We want money. Money, money doesn't. It doesn't change. You're dating another superstar. Life should be great. And there's a domestic.

[K9]

Yeah, this all actually happened in Florida, too. So this happened in Doral, Florida.

[Mike]

Go figure out. Is he from Florida?

[K9]

He played at Tennessee. He played college ball at Tennessee. I'm not. I'm not really sure exactly where he's from, but the reason I brought it back up today is because there's more witnesses coming forward in the case. And I mean, this was a high speed chase. He was chasing the girl with his car. She ended up going to the police station to hide from him. And that's when he struck a police officer with his car.

[Mike]

Jesus.

[Tyler]

You can take the player out of the environment. You can't take the environment out of the player.

[Mike]

Is that how you're gonna say it?

[Tyler]

That's how I say it.

[Mike]

A different way.

[Tyler]

Nope.

[Mike]

Okay, okay, so we got that. Anything else? So what's. What, Basketball, right? Basketball's winding up.

[K9]

Yeah, basketball's getting back. The All Star break was like a week ago. That's heating back up. But honestly, the big news in sports, man, is the World Baseball Classic that kicks off Wednesday. And you know, if you're a baseball guy, this is pretty big. This is like the World cup of baseball. And actually the United States has their first game Friday against Brazil, and the United States are actually favorites to win this whole tournament at -115. The United States team stacked. They got Aaron Judge, Paul Skeens, Scubal, and they're looking to win another one. And Japan's up there too, obviously with Otani and all the guys they got.

[Tyler]

But United States things, though, this is

[Mike]

where I remember two years ago, I believe we're Mets fans, Edwin Diaz blew his leg out in this thing.

[Tyler]

And.

[Mike]

Yeah, you know, this is like a scary thing for a lot of Major League baseball teams because these guys are going out there and they. They take this serious. This isn't like an All Star game. This is country versus country. This is like the Olympics of baseball. They want to win these games. They want to win that title.

[Tyler]

Really? Oh, it's not like the Pro Bowl.

[Mike]

No, this is. No, there was like a fight one year. Somebody threw at somebody. There was like a walk off. The guy flipped a bat and did some, and everybody got mad. Like, they take this. This, like, this is like World Cup Soccer. They're. They're representing their nation and they actually take it extremely serious.

[Tyler]

Wow. Okay.

[K9]

Yeah. And just like you said, it's the equivalent of the World cup for baseball. And Juan Soto, you know, the Mets star player, he just left Port St. Lucie to go play for the Dominican Republic. They have a really good team, too, this year, the Dominican. I'm liking them at plus 400 to maybe win the whole thing.

[Mike]

Oh, we're talking betting. We like betting. That means they're gonna lose, right?

[K9]

I don't know, man. I was looking at the rosters. Obviously, the United States are the favorites. They have a really good team. Japan, obviously, they're always good. They got the best player in the world. And then The Dominican at +400, I think, is a good bet. They're stacked.

[Mike]

All right. Anything else going on we need to know about?

[K9]

I don't think so, man.

[Mike]

Where do we tell everybody where to find you?

[K9]

So tonight at 7pm Eastern on the Counterculture YouTube, we will go live. Counterculture sports. Sipo and I will break it all down. We have a lot of good people that come on there and comment. That gives us good content and the about. So we have fun on there, man. It's a little bit different of a sports show, but if you're shot out like us, you'll probably like it.

[Tyler]

Did Mike get you the goon tape ad to put up on the actual screen or you.

[Mike]

He know it's there. He just didn't know how to do it. I'll show him how to do it.

[Tyler]

It.

[Mike]

It's in the studio. You just got to click on the overlay and then read.

[Tyler]

You gotta click it.

[Mike]

Yeah, literally. I'll show them later. I'll. I'll pop. I'll pop in. I'll pop in tonight. About 6:50, if you want, and I'll go over how to do.

[K9]

Okay. I think I've been killing it, though, man. I've been, you know, like, throwing in there.

[Mike]

His read is excellent.

[Tyler]

You need one of these. It's called a mouse. And this thing right here, it clicks. And then once you have that, I think you're good to go.

[Mike]

His re. Hey. His reads are flawless.

[Tyler]

Your reads are good.

[Mike]

His reads are flawless.

[Conservative Chocolate]

We'll get.

[Mike]

We'll get the. The ad's actually in there. The overlay.

[Tyler]

I'm like, what the. And he sends. And he was like, oh, I'm just putting this up front so I don't have to look for it.

[Mike]

And then, yeah, I'll pop in. And then, you know, one day we're teaching you how to do it all. Get your. Rip your audio and upload it right now. That's all on me. But we're doing. You're doing. You guys are doing a great job. I've watched your audience grow.

[Tyler]

Is it good?

[Mike]

Oh, it's. Yeah, they got a great audience. Some of the people pop in our show and say they gave us money the other night saying, hey, I'm from counterculture sports. I'm just popping in. Let's show some love. Showing some love.

[Tyler]

Who's this?

[Mike]

But no, it's that that's growing. And like, you know, like I said, I remember when I watched you. It's funny story is before podcasting was cool, canine was religiously streaming on podcasting on Spotify with eight watches. Eight watches. And he was telling me I was making fun of him. And then we've come full circle, man. And you know, when you got me into it, I was like, there ain't a better dude on earth that puts more work into this than. Than canine.

[Tyler]

And yeah, he's killing it.

[Mike]

You guys are killing it, man.

[K9]

Oh, yeah, I appreciate it, man.

[Tyler]

It's because your computer crashed. So we'll let it one episode.

[Mike]

Any filled in for me when I gave up on the sports betting show on Sundays. I just started it. Next thing you know, I'm like, yeah, I'm not gonna be there today. So you guys are killing it, man. We appreciate you guys dedication to the counterculture, goal vision. And you guys keep doing your thing, man.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Mike]

That's your cue, Lewis.

[Nick]

Look at that.

[Mike]

Lewis is on the ball today.

[Tyler]

One thing I want to bring up, we so. John,

[Mike]

hold on.

[Tyler]

I don't know.

[Mike]

We got breaking news. Brett, come back on cc. Get back to the desk. Get back to the desk. We still got you up.

[Tyler]

Okay, well, I don't know if I can say where it came from, but this was sent from cybercom. Disseminate. We are pushing all u. S. Service members to turn their location off on all electrics. Cannot go into specifics. However, the source of information is credible. Further from ncts incident handler, the following apps have been compromised. Uber, talibat, snapchat. The app should be approached with high caution and limited usage at this time and use and be prepared to uninstall immediately. Per Cybercom, info from 5th Fleet AOR and Cybercom. It is confirmed Iran and its partners have breached and are utilizing snapchat, uber and talibat, a food delivery service to develop targeting packages on our forces. Likely something they would attempt to do stateside. Highly recommend folks to alternate route. Use alternate routes and departure times when traveling to work. Minimize social media presence and Reframe from things that would mark you as an easy target. Cybercom directed all military forces and families still in theater to delete and uninstall those three apps. These are currently the only three confirmed. Others might be utilized as well. All deployed members are also directed to turn their locations.

[Mike]

You imagine you, yeah, you order an Uber and it's a lag bar. You order a. You order a Big Mac and your bags on the front porch, they snap the picture and oh, by the way. So we got breaking news and we have a CC's dedicated to it and he. Bring him back in. He's got baby. He got major, major news.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Conservative Chocolate]

So real quick, boys. Did want to come in, help you guys with this breaking news. So Donnie did just say that he's willing to send troops into Iran. So my life. Just drop. Just drop.

[Mike]

Read my list. No new.

[Tyler]

It's time. It's time, boys. They're all sitting at green ramp like, yeah, dude, the boogaloo is back. Every drill instructor, every drill sergeant's now telling them all, you're going to war, boy.

[Mike]

As you guys know, I went to Air Assault School. I probably be the first one they call. I'm probably the first one they're gonna call like this. This was Air assault, Korean War.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Let's go.

[Mike]

I'm back, baby.

[Tyler]

Well, congratulations to all those young soldiers. That generation of the military might get their chance to fight or different. That is what they wanted and they will get it if you join for free college. Sorry, guys, this ain't your time.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Also, I get a free college.

[Mike]

Texas, you sent me.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Yeah, I will while I'm here too. I'll. I'll double tap two on what Tyler just said. Boys. Osa. Oh, sent. Oh, sent. Do opsec. You gotta make sure that you're doing opsec. I go on Instagram and I'm sure Mike sees it, Tyler sees it, because we follow a lot of people. The amount of people that I can see their location just on IG that are random people is insane. Turn your location off on ig. Turn your location off on Snapchat if you're doing Uber. My famous trick and the same thing my wife does, is that we use different names, different photos. So an Uber is going to pull up on me saying, here you Jerry. And I'm like, yep, should be Jerry. Now, if they use my government name, I know there's some going on. So I mean, a better safe than sorry, it's a little bit of overkill. I'm not, you know, Special Forces spetsnaz CIA guy over here. But you never know, bro. A lot of these guys, it's easy to target you on Instagram. It's easy to target you on Facebook. All it takes is looking up, you know, infantry museum. And now. I can see that you commented last week, hey, it was a great time there. Oh, my God. So happy to be in the Army. Okay, now, I go on your profile, and your wife's profile is public. I can see your kids. I can see where your kids go to school. I see where you're stationed. So use your common sense, boys. Right now we have 1800 confirmed known terrorists within the country due to Biden's open border policies. So Texas is a great example. We got a guy who was Muslim from a Muslim country who walked in and just started blasting people in Texas out of all places, and nobody stopped him.

[Mike]

We just glazed. We haven't even covered that yet.

[Tyler]

What? Oh, the Texas.

[Mike]

Yeah, I mean, we just cover it now, boys.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Yeah, we'll cover it now.

[Mike]

Yeah. I mean, I got the video. I think I sent it. Lewis, you want to get that up? Yeah, roll that inside the.

[Tyler]

It's pretty chaotic, dude.

[Mike]

This is inside the club in Austin, Texas.

[Conservative Chocolate]

I don't know what he's doing.

[Mike]

Multiple areas. CPR is usually not the best out.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Yeah, CPR is not going to help

[Mike]

you with a GSW picture up of the suspect, Lewis. There should be a picture attached to that. There Was your suspect in that shooting.

[Conservative Chocolate]

You don't have the picture with the sweater?

[Mike]

No, I was gonna say, well, well,

[Tyler]

well, but that just makes it sound.

[Mike]

You got the pictures with the sweater?

[Conservative Chocolate]

I got this picture with the sweater.

[Mike]

I'm pulling it up. I went with that one.

[Tyler]

Shooter. What? How do you say his name? Nick.

[Mike]

Easy, easy.

[Tyler]

How do you say his name?

[Conservative Chocolate]

The gang. I can say it. I can.

[Tyler]

I'm gonna make everybody say my name.

[Conservative Chocolate]

The name. All right, I'm sending you the picture, Mike, real quick, so you can just

[Mike]

get it up there. There were. I mean, this guy had a rifle. He was. There's videos outside of him just walking around, walking around.

[Tyler]

Why is everybody saying, be. Be sure of your surroundings? Like, why is that the thing going on?

[Mike]

Like, well, look at this guy's sweater.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Mike, pull that up. This is why they say, be sure your surroundings. Yeah, I texted it.

[Mike]

There it comes. Okay, hold on. All right, hold on. Lewis. Bless you.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Dying over here, boys.

[Tyler]

Trick, bro.

[Conservative Chocolate]

I'm gonna put my juice hat back on.

[Mike]

Yeah, put your tab back. It's gonna take me a minute. I just gotta Go through.

[Tyler]

So in case anybody doesn't know, Conservative Chocolate has actually been a friend of ours for a while. You're launching your podcast soon, correct?

[Conservative Chocolate]

Yeah, yeah, I got the podcast going on. As you can see. I have this ridiculous neon sign. The only thing that's stopping me is just time constraints, but a lot of crazy guests going on. Everybody from people in the feds to movie actors, believe it or not. So cbs Kerry James is the homie. If you didn't know the show Heartland, I'm sure your wife watches it. Great guy. Super big supporter.

[Tyler]

All right, man. But, yeah, I mean, and he's. All jokes aside, you are black and Jewish.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Yeah. And I'm the top Jew.

[Tyler]

All jokes aside. All jokes aside, we need people to be able to critique and other. Other. What would you call it, entities or other points of view that might be pushed back on coming from someone else. So that way, you know, if you need any straight white male cookie, I'm here for you. I got it. But, yeah, I'm the.

[Conservative Chocolate]

I'm the token for the podcast. So for. For all of you that. That say anti hero, you know, goes one way to the other. I'll be the one to say it. For real. I can use the R. Here's the.

[Mike]

Here's the split here. Pay attention to the sweatshirt.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Come on.

[Nick]

Property.

[Mike]

Property of Allah.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Come on. Nobody saw that. Nobody saw that.

[Tyler]

I saw it.

[Mike]

Yeah, but you're racist if you say anything ahead of time. Hey, sir, you can't commit. You can't come in this. You can't come in the club because you are property. No, the rifle.

[Tyler]

Normal day in Texas.

[Mike]

And let. Before I say crazy. That is a tragic incident that is just terrible for all them. The one female. You can see the female doing cpr, saying, please help me. Helpless. Loved one is down. I mean, you're at the club one minute, you're having a great time, Property of Allah comes in and takes it from you.

[Conservative Chocolate]

The game comes in and starts shooting people.

[Tyler]

I'm assuming the cops killed him.

[Mike]

No, he got prone down and taken. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He's in custody.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Yeah, I heard that, too.

[Mike]

I'm 90% sure. I watched 90%. I watched a guy get taken in. The cop. I'm pretty sure he got taken in custody. He was. He was not shot.

[Tyler]

You guys think there's going to be a lot of. You guys think there's going to be a lot of these going on?

[Mike]

Terrorists, get ready. Get ready.

[Conservative Chocolate]

I think Iran is really what's going to be to shut it. To really pop it off. Because Iran is calling for sleeper cells to activate within the US and ja. Wja. He pointed out in the group chat, which is one of the OG Homies in the chat, he pointed it out that that's our biggest threat. Sleeper cells. You got soup. Remember, I'll give you. I'll give everybody the best example. I think it was the part two of Sicario. Remember, they just walked into the grocery store one time. Okay, so I'll give you the rundown for anybody who hasn't seen Sicario.

[Tyler]

Wait, the first.

[Conservative Chocolate]

I think it was the second one. It might have been the first one, but three men just walk into a grocery store. That's it. They just walk into a grocery store. Boom, boom, boom. It really is that easy. The majority of the people, when I'm walking around because, well, I can't say where I work, but when I'm walking around and I'm in an area that's always flooded with individuals, I. People watch with my wife all day. And the amount of people that you see. Individual phones.

[Mike]

Individuals.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Yeah, individuals. The usual suspects.

[Tyler]

I highly discriminate, and everybody gets on

[Mike]

me about wearing a vest. As a cop, we're now starting to see people in the chat advocating for a vest. Off duty or just as a civilian.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Mike]

You don't know what the. Is gonna happen.

[Tyler]

I went to a concert last night. The security guard had a vest on, and I. And I. Heather was like, he's he wearing a vest? I was like, yeah, I know, right? Imagine that. She goes, that. And cops aren't wearing vests, But a security guard knows to wear a vest, dude.

[Mike]

I mean, it's not out of character at this point to say it. Spend four or five hundred on a vest.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Yeah.

[Mike]

In public, dude.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Like, it's bad out there, man.

[Conservative Chocolate]

I mean, people think it's a joke, man, but. But at the end of the day, what I always say is, I'd rather. I'd rather be judged by 12 and make sure that my family's safe than be carried by six. And maybe the reason my family's with me.

[Mike]

Justin said he's wearing a play carrier to the store, ma'.

[Tyler]

Am.

[Mike]

That's what he says. I want to see a picture.

[Tyler]

Does he wear it to yoga class?

[Conservative Chocolate]

He wears it to the donut rating.

[Mike]

It's a Sesame street pajama.

[Tyler]

The donut rating competition.

[K9]

All right.

[Mike]

We appreciate you coming back on season. Thanks so much. We got. Why we're just a popular group of people. We got Wyatt needs 90 seconds. All right, come bring them in.

[Tyler]

All right, talk to us.

[Conservative Chocolate]

Why?

[Mike]

Thanks for coming back.

[Wyatt]

90 seconds.

[Tyler]

Go.

[Wyatt]

I respect your time. I just wanted to second everything that chocolate vet just said. Social media, I recommend you stay off of it entirely. But if you just can't do that. Hey, turn your location off at all times. Your camera roll asks for it. All your social media asks for it. Your calendar asks for it. Keep it off. If you do take really cool pictures, don't post them immediately. Wait two weeks just so your location is most likely going to be different or date the photo. So whoever's watching it thinks, oh, you're not there anymore.

[Mike]

Great advice. Great advice.

[Wyatt]

Hey, some people come here and they are doxed. In a week, I'm gonna be docs because of antihero.

[Tyler]

But I'm gonna say you go live on a broadcast, bro.

[Wyatt]

Hey, I have gone for almost four years here using my real name, and I have not been doxed because I don't have social media. But preparedness, yes. Here in my. In all of my vehicles. All have first aid kits, tourniquets, tourniquets, chest seals, my backpack, my little. My gay ass shoulder bag. All have first aid kits. Learn how to use them. Even if you're broke and you can't take a class, go to YouTube. Look up March protocol. Look up T triple C. Just classic.

[Tyler]

Massive hemorrhaging, airways circulation, respiration, and hypothermia.

[Wyatt]

I recommend T, triple C, but not everyone has a third brain cell to use.

[Tyler]

But yeah, glue, bro.

[Wyatt]

Hey, YouTube it. If you have no money, YouTube it. Have a first aid kit if you need tourniquets. If you're in the counterculture group, you need tourniquets, I'll send them to you. I will mail you a box of tourniquets. I got a bunch.

[Tyler]

It's funny, dude. I mean, we're all used to being strapped. But I carry an entire. I take. I stole my old SWAT medic bag and I keep it in my truck, dude. Because there's no way. At some point, the. The chances of you rolling up to somebody needing aid is probably way higher than you having to use lethal force on somebody.

[Mike]

Yeah, that or it'll be over. And you're. You're getting there late.

[Tyler]

Like, I carry. I carry all the medical supplies.

[Mike]

Well, what great advice. We appreciate coming back on and sharing that. We'll. We'll see you next week, man. Thank you so much.

[Wyatt]

Everything, Chocolate vets. That is true. I second it. Thank you, guys. Have a good night.

[Tyler]

You let it Brother, that Just be safe.

[Mike]

That just gives me a reason to post all my old pictures when I was in really good shape. Great.

[Tyler]

I waited three, I waited four years

[Mike]

and 30 pounds ago to post this one for you guys. And I stand corrected. CC confirmed that the shooter in Austin

[Tyler]

was killed by police. Right.

[Mike]

And he had a Iranian flag underneath his shirt that said property of Iran. I don't want to show it a property of Allah, but I don't want to show.

[Tyler]

He was wearing it on his.

[Mike]

No, he had another one underneath though, and it said another. He had a. It's got graphic. So I don't want to put it up there. We'll lose it.

[Tyler]

But is it him dead? Yeah, why not? Yeah, I would do it. Nope, I.

[Mike]

What else we got? That's it. Action packed show.

[Tyler]

That's how these are going to be from now on. Tuesday. Patreon Tuesdays, dude, are gonna get wild too. I'm so. I am sick and tired of holding back. I'm sick and tired of not speaking my mind. Oh, I'm sick of it. I'm sick of covering for every person that's me over. I'm sick of it. So Patreon Tuesdays, if you might want to join. I haven't signed up for Patreon. It's gonna be lit tomorrow. Wednesdays are obviously guest focused. We have some really cool guests coming on the next couple weeks. We have. We want you to get to know. I mean, our sponsors are great people. They're not just companies. So you'll be getting to know them. We have Greg Anderson, the Seattle cop that was a ranger that went against Covet and got fired. He's coming on. He wants to actually come to the studio. I'm trying to talk him out of it. Just be like, yo, dude, remote this.

[Mike]

But I mean, if he's here.

[Tyler]

Yeah, well, no, he's in Seattle. We're like the farthest you can be from Seattle.

[Mike]

Oh, nothing's come here just for us.

[Tyler]

Yeah, but anyways, we're not that cool. Yeah, we're not cool. But Mondays and Thursdays are going to be like this. Fridays are casual Friday. Thursdays are our long day of content. We film like 80 podcasts, it feels like. So Fridays are us just recapping the week and it's chill. If you watch last Friday it there, I don't want to call it dead air, but we weren't like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. It's just me and Mike bullshitting and watching funny videos.

[Mike]

Fridays is basically. I mean, Patreon is going to get the most of the. Of behind the scenes and the most. But Fridays would be as close as it's going to be for regular everybody else. Like, this is what we're doing. It's kind of laid back. We can have guests, people can pop in. We can shoot the. And that what you saw today and what you will see going forward is more of that structured or structured but unstructured. Like, we want to have people in. It's. Nobody wants to hear me and you yap for two hours. Get people in with good information. We'll fill in our stupid ideas and we'll make it flow.

[Tyler]

But we appreciate just SMEs.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

These are people like conservative chocolate. So knowledgeable. I mean. And the funny thing is the reason why they're anti hero is because they're like us. They're goofballs, dude. They're fun dudes. And then you ask them to flip a switch and they're all of a sudden spewing all this.

[Mike]

We don't, we don't, we don't.

[Tyler]

I don't want to square.

[Mike]

You don't want the conservative special ops guy. That's going to stay very squared and rounded. Because I have a huge. A huge following and I'm very important to the world because I say so. No, you're gonna get funny, like to the point information. You want Clinton?

[Tyler]

Let's get Clinton.

[Mike]

All right, here we go.

[Tyler]

We got Clinton. But yes, that we have. Those are the dudes that are going to be contributing to the like Nick, CC Wyatt, K9. I know I'm missing a few, but they're going to be weekly, you know, reoccurring guests.

[Wyatt]

Dom.

[Tyler]

Dom Dominic the communist dude. The best conversation that we've had on this show is with a communist.

[Mike]

Yeah. And it generates conversation. And that's what this. But like, Nick, that, that, that was like a WWE promo for this week's match between. That's what we want. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. You can hate, you can get on him, you could, whatever. But that type of. We need that guy because you may disagree. And we want you to generate some conversation about why you don't think that's true. I saw some of the comments were like, we shouldn't, you know, we shouldn't just blindly listen to our government. I agree with that. Nick says it. They're telling us it's the right thing to do, do it. Then you got maybe some brighter people that go, maybe we should ask some questions about it. But we need Nick to make that statement to generate the conversation and have good dialogue. So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, it's been a couple weeks. Clint, you are live.

[Clint]

Hey, what's going on, guys?

[Mike]

What's going on?

[Tyler]

What's going on, guys?

[Clint]

Yeah, this will be quick.

[Mike]

Yeah, right.

[Wyatt]

The show.

[Mike]

The show is supposed to end in six minutes. We'll see how quick.

[Conservative Chocolate]

So when.

[Clint]

Whenever Mike puts on the. The rice patty hat, I. I get an extra kick out of that because I. I lived in Korea for 15 months. So anyway, stateside, uh, when I lived at Bragg, I would, uh, go to this Chinese restaurant all the time. And my order is slightly unique. I order chicken and broccoli, but I have them change the sauce on it. It normally comes with a brown sauce, but I get the white clear sauce, which I think is called Mogo Gap in. So anytime I would call it in, the lady. The lady would take my order, and when I say white clear sauce, she knows it's me, and she said, oh, Mr. White Clear Sauce.

[Tyler]

Okay, so.

[Clint]

So then, you know, I. I call in that order all the time. And then my wife would come down on the weekend, and then she would call in the order and she would order my food. And this is. This is what it would sound like.

[Tyler]

You'll pick up 10 minutes. No, for you. And when he called, they would say, you pick up 10 minutes.

[Nick]

Yes.

[Wyatt]

So.

[Clint]

So that was Ms. Kim. And when I was. I came back from JRTC, and I've been gone for like a month and almost a half. And as soon as I walked in, she said, oh, you've been gone long time? About month, month and month, five weeks. And I said, yeah, Ms. Kim. She said, oh, you must be at GRTC, you first brigade. And I say, now, Ms. Kim, you know, I can't tell you that hot second. But when I lived in Korea, when I lived in Korea, me and my buddy, he was from Ranger Bat, and he was a mortarman, and then I was on the line, and me and him became, like, real good buddies. We did everything together. And me and him, we had. It was called courtesy. There was only two corporals in the entire battalion. It was me and him in one company, and they would have courtesy patrol, and it was always E5 and E6 on courtesy patrol trouble. And you wear, like, an armband, and you have to go into the village, which is strip clubs and honestly, prostitution dens, and you'd have to walk around with this armband on. But we were the only two corporals, so they were like, so what are we going to do with them? Can they do it, or. They had a debate over it. They said, well, let's just make sure that they do it with a staff sergeant. So the first time they sent us out on it, we, of course, got the roster and changed it. So it was the two corporals going out together, and we went out into the veal, and we were stone cold sober. And we had just came back from, like, a train area up north where we were gone for, like, a month. So all the Joes had built up money, so they were like, yeah, we're. We're definitely gonna have to have courtesy patrol, because Joe's got money. So we were down there, me and my buddy, we were stone cold. And it's. It's Korea, but it's the infantry, and it's winter time, so you're not allowed to show snivel gear, so you got, like, a waffle top tucked in. You're not. Not allowed to wear gloves, you know?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Clint]

Because you got to look hard. You got to look hard. So me and my buddy, we're walking around. We're walking down the street, and there's one of the clubs. He's like, hey, man, the part of courtesy patrol is you actually walk into the bars and walk around and. And look at the Joes and talk to them briefly, and then you walk out. So we walked in to kind of warm up for a second, and we walked in, and literally every Joe in my platoon is in this bar, basically, and they're all sitting there in this. I mean, they're. They're hammered. And we walk up behind them. We're in BDUs, and we walk up behind them, and we can literally hear them talking about us. Like, we're standing there behind them, and they're just. They're just going wild. And this Korean chick comes out on the stage, and, I mean, we're talking 30 years later, almost 25. 25 years later, I'm still going to say top 10 most beautiful women I've ever seen in my life still to this day. This. This Korean gal came out on stage, and when she was dancing, she took all her clothes off. She's dancing. She's dancing, and she pulls out this tube. She's got a flexible tube that's probably about 3 foot long. And she sticks the tube in her vagina, and then the other end has, like, a little adapter on it.

[Tyler]

What?

[Clint]

And she's. She lights up a listen. She lights up a cigar and starts it, and then she hooks that to the tube. And then she starts gyrating her stomach and, like, squatting kind of. And you see the smoke going through the tube, and then it was shooting out.

[Tyler]

You should see Louis's face right now.

[Clint]

He was shooting out two puff clouds on the sides of the tube, like it would shoot out. And we're all like, oh, my God.

[Conservative Chocolate]

We're.

[Clint]

I mean, everybody's trash, but we're sober. So they're like, I've. It's burned in my mind. So we're standing there watching it, and I'm still thinking, she's so, so beautiful. Why has this happened to her?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Clint]

Then listen. Then she takes the tube, still inside of her. She walks over to one of the Joes, and he has a beer bottle. And she puts the tube in the beer bottle, and she starts gyrating and doing her stomach and. And doing squats. And you see the beer go through the tube. She empties the entire beer into her vagina. Turns the beer bottle upside down. It's completely dry. And everybody's like, whoa. Then she takes. Then listen. She puts it in a beer mug and fills it all the way to the top.

[Mike]

Oh, God.

[Clint]

And hands it to one of my Joes. My Joe turned it down. Joe from Weapon Squad.

[Mike]

Horse hit it.

[Clint]

He took. He took it and he pounded it, and the place went wild.

[Mike]

Yeah, and that would. That would cause some.

[Conservative Chocolate]

That would.

[Mike]

That would cause a Mr. White sauce, I think.

[Clint]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Well, you never. You never disappoint, Clint.

[Tyler]

Never disappoint.

[Mike]

We appreciate, man. Take care, buddy. Mr. White Sauce.

[Tyler]

Oh, my God.

[Mike]

Mr. White Sauce.

[Tyler]

I felt I. You know, I. I get.

[Mike]

I start to get nervous as the story.

[Tyler]

I mean, it can't get much worse than that. But no, you know, hey, there's a Mrs. Clint.
