Episode Tone & Takeaway

This is an unvarnished, opinion-heavy broadcast for a patriotic, working-class, and law enforcement-minded audience. The tone is irreverent, combative, and unapologetically skeptical of progressive policies, the mainstream media, and “woke” cultural trends. The hosts and guests mix dark humor with genuine frustration, particularly over the perceived negligence of political leaders and the dangers posed by both foreign and domestic threats.

So Patreon is growing. We're live special discounts on all of our merchandiser and Patreon. It is an amazing group of people. It gives us access to everybody to have those private conversations and, and pre, pre show background. So join our Patreon and we really appreciate you guys being in there. I'm back.

[Mike]

You're back. How was it? Dude? We've been, we have been. If you guys haven't noticed but you probably have. We have been on separate. I, I didn't take a vacation. I went for work but I went to California for a week, did some podcasts and I work immediately. The day I got in, Mike went and took a eight day cruise where he sat next to the pool all day.

[Lewis]

Yeah, of my total cruise it was under your total travel days to get to your vic, your your work job. I spent seven days on a cruise. I think you spent between your family. Spent about 10 on a train. But that was great, great to get away but you know I missed this, I missed the crew. I Miss everybody in Patreon. So had a little running update.

[Mike]

But dude, I really do love all the videos you uploaded while on vacation. It was pretty cool.

[Lewis]

You can't upload videos in Patreon. I post pictures.

[Pat Brosnan]

Pictures.

[Mike]

You can't upload videos, dude, you saw

[Lewis]

me try to jump in the episode every time I got ready. I'm watching you guys. Everything's fine. And then I joined and it was like, like, they don't. The Internet service sucks on the boat. It wasn't really much I could do with that, but I kept everybody updated on the pictures. They got as many pictures as my Facebook or Instagram got. So I'm happy to be back.

[Mike]

Yeah, I'm happy you're back too, man.

[Lewis]

And we, we're learning today. Like everybody, like, like you said, there's little quirks of, of every platform. Rumble gives us a little bigger audience and allows us to stream to rumble and YouTube. And rumble has been great about helping us get the channel renamed. We had to get some special help on that.

[Mike]

But we'll see how, we'll see how, how much Rumble takes care of us.

[Lewis]

Yeah, we're pumping them. You know, we, we're going through the pains. As you can see. Lewis has to do some different things. They don't. It doesn't flow the same as. As the other platform. So we'll, we'll see how it goes.

[Mike]

Some reflections we have. Apparently I had gained about 45 pounds.

[Lewis]

I don't know what the you did and how you clipped that and how you allowed yourself to be on the Internet like that, but I was like,

[Mike]

lewis, go to our Instagram. Let's share the screen. Let's see if we can do that. I can't. This computer is pretty much useless right now. There's nothing I can do. We can't be in the studio at the same time. Usually I assist Lewis in the studio process. I don't know how we're going to do Tuesdays and Wednesdays like this.

[Lewis]

I don't.

[Mike]

Fridays.

[Lewis]

Yeah, because usually I, I help as well and I share stuff and I can't do it either.

[Mike]

So go to our page.

[Lewis]

So, like right now, we have no idea. We have no idea what's going on because Lewis is in Instagram.

[Mike]

Go down right there, all the way to the left. Antihero addresses and get that queued up to play. This is me. Like I said, I don't know what's going on, but I do. I remember going to upload it and I was like, dude, I look super fast.

[Lewis]

That's not the right stage, Lewis. That's our. That's like YouTube.

[Mike]

You. Yeah. You uploaded the wrong page. Yeah.

[Nick]

Wait, what?

[Lewis]

That's not the right page.

[Mike]

You gotta. So you gotta get rid of that one.

[Lewis]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Here we go. All right, now let's try it again.

[Mike]

You gotta click Instagram.

[Lewis]

There we go. All right. And then.

[Mike]

It's putting you out. It's putting. It's okay.

[Lewis]

Okay,

[Mike]

So you can turn the sound off if you want. Yeah, I. Look, I. Right before I went to upload it, I was like, I look super fat, but I was like, you know what? I don't think anybody's gonna say anything because maybe wrong.

[Lewis]

That's not gonna fly.

[Mike]

I don't know what was going on. I was like, maybe it's the lighting and the angles. And my wife was like, dude, no, you just look, like, utter. I was like, well, my skin's pale because the lighting. And she's like, okay, I'll give you the skin. She's like, your eyes look watery. Your face looks puffy. Your neck looks.

[Lewis]

Even if you look at the last Allegedly, it looks like it's up instead of being flat. It looks like that last Allegedly sitting on a shelf. I don't know if it's your post shirt. Maybe this shirt is the graphics on the shirt.

[Mike]

I'm gonna be forever. That's why you know I'm gonna be forever. What do you call that on night shift? Insecure.

[Lewis]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Mike]

You should see your chair.

[Lewis]

It's rough.

[Mike]

You got the fat chair.

[Lewis]

Yo, it's rough. That night. Said the way the camera hits me, like, it's rough.

[Mike]

Well, you.

[Pat Brosnan]

You.

[Mike]

Justin sat in your chair and broke it.

[Lewis]

Like, retired cop life, dude. I've been going to yoga. No, yoga doesn't do it. So. Yeah, that was fun. Is that me? Just me. All right. That was one of the ones I. I saw while I was out there, and I. I came in late, but yeah, I mean, angles, man.

[Mike]

Yeah, angles.

[Lewis]

I'll just say I will. I do applaud you for posting it.

[Mike]

I don't know what happened because I'm. I mean, you can look at me right now. I don't look like the same person. And that was four days ago.

[Lewis]

I was like, damn, dude. I'm looking at myself on vacation. I'm looking at myself on vacation. I'm like, bro, I'm off the rails. I was off the rails. Yeah. I didn't do. I didn't do breakfast, but, like, two days. But it was. It was. We get in there, and we get to going. We get to gambling, and they have this beautiful restaurant that's exclusive for where we stay. We never went to it once. Like, the whole staff is like, we haven't seen you in the restaurant once. I'm like, yeah, that dinner time kind of falls into the casino time. It's a terrible time for. To serve dinner at dinner time. So we spent a lot of time at the buffet and just popping in. They have really good pizza on the boat. But, yeah, that was. That was an interesting reel. You. You went with it.

[Mike]

I don't care.

[Lewis]

That shows, man. That shows it. Just everybody can get it. Even yourself. Like, you gotta.

[Mike]

I need to preemptively address it, though, next time rather than let somebody else. I need to be like, oh, I'm fat. And then. But that was in response to this whole fog thing, and I. I guess we'll just leave it be. I. I told them. I was like, hey, man, we didn't know. I'm gonna make a reel based off what I said on Night Shift. I posted it. I collabed with them. They read it, they saw it. They didn't respond to it. I don't know if they're mad at us or what.

[Lewis]

Did they delete a message?

[Mike]

I'm like, 99 sure.

[Lewis]

But, yeah, because I saw the notification. Oh, you saw it too? Yeah, there was a notification.

[Mike]

You saw it too? Okay, Justin. Me and Justin and Gator sat there for, like, 20 minutes going, I saw the notification that said, whack video. No hard feelings. And then I went to look at it, and it was gone.

[Lewis]

Yeah, there was a message deleted unset. You can only unsend your own message. Yeah, I saw. I got the notification on.

[Mike]

Okay. All right. There you go, Justin. That. That clears it up. That is enough evidence to know that we. They sent. I. I again, they. I gave him my phone number. I would love for people to take the opportunity to come on the show, but a lot of people just don't want to stay out of it. So. That being said, we got a lot of guests coming on today.

[Lewis]

What about the waka flocka?

[Mike]

Oh, hey, Lewis. That's in the email.

[Lewis]

So you're asking a lot.

[Mike]

Yeah, we. On our. On our video that we put Chicago video, it was actually filmed in February, and I have this thing where I make so many reels that I forget I made them. And I found it, like, mid March. I was like, oh, I never dropped this. So we. We dropped it, and it's been doing super well. Apparently a lot of people agree with us.

[Lewis]

Yes.

[Mike]

But Waka Flocka Flame the rapper commented on it and then I don't know if I got Mike's comment in there because I just took the screenshot to send to you, but I didn't know he, he deleted his comment. Yeah, but we screen grabbed it and some of the, some of the replies were pretty standard. They were like, but Mike's, you can't see it down the bottom was like coming from a guy who supports Trump and all this stuff like.

[Lewis]

Yeah. So he wrote, what is it the matter? What is it the results of your ancestors cruel ways. Now look at our youth like white people fault.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Lewis]

And then I, you can just Google walk of Flame Trump and you'll see him supporting President Trump and standing there with him and it's like you don't. Do you get to do both?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Lewis]

Do you get to do both?

[Mike]

What didn't Trump get him out of jam?

[Lewis]

No, he got a lot of people asap, Rocky. Yeah, he got a lot of people out of jams. But the rap community, the, the high. And, and here's, here's your tinfoil hat. The high end rap community that makes a lot of money, that doesn't like to pay taxes, wants their money tend to support Trump. Little pump, waka flocka 50 cent, a lot of these guys are like pro Trump. There's a lot of them. You'll see. And to go, I, yeah, I support Trump. But then your white ancestors caused this.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Lewis]

Seems like a very contradicting. They deleted it.

[Mike]

Yeah, that was weird too because I pinned it. That's how I knew he deleted it. And one of pin comments all of a sudden gone. I have to make sure Mike somebody with access didn't unpin it for whatever reason.

[Lewis]

No, it was gone.

[Mike]

So maybe his publicist was like, don't do that.

[Lewis]

Well, I've always said that when we had the argument with the communists about rap music, like they don't care who buys the album, they don't care who streams it. Every stream gets money. Every. So why would he want to piss off white people if you want money? Like, oh, not that they're going to change because of one stupid comment and whatever. But it, you know, why would you isolate. Yeah, you're in a party, you sell. Yeah, you sell, you sell drink. I don't care who drinks my drink. I hate these people. I hate these people. But I like them all because they're buying my drink. So you wouldn't want to isolate yourself. But I just found it interesting that A guy who's so pro Trump, which I don't know, that you can blame white people for everything and support the president, who is. We see it called the biggest racist on earth. He hates everybody. You know, that everybody's attacked him. So how do you hate on a bunch of kids in Chicago, us pointing out that a bunch of kids in Chicago are like dangerous and at the same time support the president. So that was kind of a weak response.

[Mike]

The weird thing is I. We are not live on Rumble right now.

[Lewis]

Says there's one person watching.

[Mike]

I can't find us. I go to the anti air broadcast live. No videos found. Videos. No videos found. I've uploaded some shorts here and there.

[Lewis]

I don't even know that thing works.

[Mike]

Oh, I've been figuring out too. But interest. Interesting.

[Lewis]

Interesting. Lewis.

[Mike]

Hey, person that's watching us on Rumble, let us know.

[Lewis]

Here's the antihero broadcast. Yeah, yeah, I don't see anything live.

[Mike]

No, there's nothing live Rumble, dude.

[Lewis]

But we're struggling through the intro and everything. And we're not.

[Mike]

They're not like, I'll have an interesting phone call with these guys when we get off here. But anyways. Yeah, Waka flocka. Deleting the. The thing. And what I was gonna put was I was gonna comment to him. I say I sing all the lyrics to Hard in the Paint. If you know that song. I go hard in the paint.

[Lewis]

Yeah, he's got a lot of them. Good. So it's good, Good music. I like the songs.

[Mike]

Do you get what I'm saying?

[Lewis]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

And I went to say that and then it was gone.

[Lewis]

So, yeah, I basically said, how does. Yeah, how do you. My comment was something to the effect of how do you support the president? But then have this take on. And I said, I think I mentioned that who, who, who sold the slaves. Like, the sellers were similar to the people being sold. So without going down the whole black on black crime.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's where it originated.

[Lewis]

I mean, they didn't. We didn't just go take over a continent. Their people had them. Their own people had them ready to be transferred. So. But it's my fault.

[Mike]

All right, so nick said around 11:20. Is there. Oh, he's there. Wow. That worked out. Okay, cool.

[Lewis]

This will be our first attempt on bringing a remote guest.

[Mike]

All right, let's see if it works.

[Lewis]

First ever guest through Rumble. G. Money.

[Mike]

Well, he looks crazy, right?

[Lewis]

Did you buy a new phone?

[Nick]

Can you hear me?

[Canine]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Can you hear us?

[Nick]

Yeah. How's it look?

[Mike]

Looks Good.

[Lewis]

Same as it looked for two weeks.

[Mike]

All right, we'll get right down into it. Iran, the Pentagon, all that good stuff. This is a slowly building thing. Pentagon prepares for weeks of ground operations in Iran if president Donald Trump approves the plan. Such an effort would mark a new phase of the war that could be significantly more dangerous to U. S. Troops in the first four weeks.

[Nick]

All right, so hold on, hold on. I got something to say. Can I say my, my piece first before, before we get into Iran?

[Mike]

Well, you just destroyed the flow, so if it's that important, it better be pretty good.

[Nick]

Well, I mean, this is what I do, right? That's why I'm here. I got something to say, right? I don't want, you know, this will flow into Iran, but you know, my fellow Americans, lend me your ears. You got to listen up here. We buried tens of thousands of our finest sons across the vast continent of Europe, the frozen mud of Korea, the steaming jungles of Vietnam and across the globe during the cold war. We lost of a lot of red blooded Americans. We spilled sacred American blood to stop communism and socialism from touching the shores of America. And for what? To the very same evil that confessed to right here at home. Right, like commie Ryan. Communism is not an alternative system. It's a cancer, it's a freedom eating tumor that devours nations from within. It promises equal, you know, equality, the talking points, but it delivers change. Starvation, mass graves. Over 100 million innocent human beings were slaughtered, starved or worked to death under communism in the 20th century alone. Like in regimes, Soviet Union, Mao's China, Cambodia's killing fields and beyond. 100 million lives were murdered, extinguished from a promise that was nothing more than a lie, like they're trying to do here at home. Democratic socialism. Socialism and communism, two paths that lead to the same place. Right, but that's more. 100 million lives is more than all the wars combined in the last century. And now that sacrifice for what? We're letting the same deadly ideology spread like wildfire throughout our own country that we love, especially in our institutions that are indoctrinating our, our kids. Worse still, with people in our own government, Political figures who openly embrace socialism and communism. It's a disgrace. They wave that red flag. They promise the ideas of democratic socialism, you know, fucking bedfalls of, of, of riches that are free, right? Someone's got to pay for it. But what do they do? They seize means of production. They brazenly call for revolution to bring down our American system. George Soros, our criminal justice system, something like that. They, they lifted more people out of poverty with capitalism and this country than any other country in history. Right? They teach in our universities. They push policies that erode private property. They crush free enterprise. They want to centralize power in the hands of the state. And you can see this over and over again and it fails every time. The communist experiment is dead. It's over. Enough is enough. We have to speak up, get up, do something about it. Communism and socialism must be banned and made criminal in the United States. I said it. No exceptions. The democratic disguises. You know, we did not defeat the Soviet Union abroad during the Cold War to surrender to its ghosts here at home in our shores. This is our republic. It's our inheritance. We owe to every red blooded American who's fighting this monster and who fought this monster to every great generation that comes after us. We need to rip this cancer out by the roots, get it out of our country. This is America. You need to rise up, defend our freedoms with the same fire that our forefathers showed at this point in history. They would have been stacking bodies by now with what's going on. It's a disgrace. We need to lock it out, stamp it out or liberty dies with us. Think about that. God bless America. God bless the greatest country in the world. God bless our troops and please stand up and fight these communists, socialist politicians. It starts with us and it starts with you. So now we can go on to Iran. Another regime for 47 years have been killing Americans around the globe. Not much different from communism or socialism. Right. And now people are crying that someone's doing something about it. We, you know, it's like a broken record. Obama sent pallets of cash to them for years under his administration and what did they do with it? They funded global war on terror. I know it's a phrase you're probably tired of hearing, but it's the truth. Same thing under the Biden administration. They didn't do about Iran. They made some speeches, you know, and some talking points. Other than that, nothing was done. Somebody needed to do something. It was just inevitable. Until they had a nuke or a dirty bomb and they would absolutely set it off in this country or in Europe where our bases are and kill a lot of Americans. Something needed to get done. We finally have a president with balls standing up and doing it. And he's trying to end the war in Iran and. Right. And get peace. That makes it beneficial for the United States. America first. Not for Israel. Israel doesn't want to stop. They wanted the total annihilation of Iran. So he's not in the pocket of Israel either. And like I touched on before, the bank of England has a big hand in all this and globally. And none of you people want to pull back the layers and start really looking about what's going on. It's very nuanced. It's not simple. Just saying Israel controls everything. Yes, we have an Israel problem within our government. No, it's not Donald Trump, but it's a lot of other congressmen and senators on both sides of the aisle.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Nick]

Go ahead.

[Mike]

Good. Anyways. Well, I. I had about five points, but I forgot them all. I need to write them down.

[Lewis]

How do we look at the comment? Look, we own the comments.

[Mike]

I just have to have it YouTube open on my phone.

[Lewis]

Or that. That's the only other option.

[Nick]

Yeah, that's on my face. Get that.

[Lewis]

Louis, you can close that. What about that little bubble up top there? That's not. Comments on the right.

[Mike]

Take notes.

[Lewis]

What is that? Oh, there we go. Oh, yeah, it is. Good job, Mike.

[Mike]

Look at that.

[Lewis]

We found the comments without being on the screen. You're welcome. Here's one thing I find interesting for going back to Iran. Troops on the ground. Every, like other day, Trump says, we're done. They're done. They want to make a peace deal. We got them where we want them. And then there's like, we don't. We're gonna bomb them more if they don't respond. It seems very. I don't know, I'm not. I'm not trying to dunk on the

[Nick]

president part of the game, dude.

[Lewis]

But he keeps saying that they want to make a peace deal, they want to make a peace deal. And then Iran says, today, any American troops hit the ground, I'm going to set them on fire. That was the latest headline from the Iran's government. If it said, American troops touch this ground, we will set them on fire, kill them, and destroy them. And then Trump gets on there. We're gonna make a peace deal if Iran wants to make a peace deal. So it's like I'm confused on who to believe at this point. As we were told, you'll come and everything's gonna be great. We're sending thousands of soldiers to the area. So, yeah, it's confusing for me.

[Mike]

Well, let me hit this head

[Nick]

playbook out there for everyone to look at here. This is what we're gonna do, guys.

[Mike]

Here.

[Nick]

Here's the mainstream media. Here goes what we plan.

[Mike]

I hope everybody knows what we're talking about, because I went to like set it all up. Hold on, let me finish this headline. Remember what you were going to say, Nick. The Pentagon is prepared for weeks of ground operations in Iran, US Officials said as thousands of American soldiers and Marines arrive in the Middle east for what could become a dangerous new phase of the war should President Donald Trump choose to escalate. Any potential ground operation would fall short of a full scale invasion and could instead involve raids by a mixture of special operations forces and conventional infantry troops. And said the officials all spoke on the condition of anatomy to discuss highly sensitive military plans that have been in development for weeks.

[Lewis]

So it sounds like they just put all the plans out. There's no secret what they plan on doing.

[Mike]

Such a mission could expose U.S. personnel to an array of threats, including Iranian drones and missiles, ground fire and improvised explosive devices. It was unclear Saturday whether Trump would approve all, some or none of the Pentagon's plan. All right, so go ahead, Nick. I just want to get that out there.

[Nick]

Right. So what, what, what point are you making here? So to, to Mike's point. Right. To. With Trump keeps saying, I mean that's, that's part of his negotiation process. Unfortunately, we don't have a media that, that sides with what's best for America. They, they side with what's worse for Trump and at the same point, what's worse for America, they hate this country. Our media is filled with a bunch of communist and socialist shills. They hate this country, they hate Trump. As long as Trump fails, they're happy. And then they can start pushing their agenda, move us all out of the way. You know, 2020, if Trump didn't win again, a Republican would never win the, an election or the White House ever again because it would have been locked up forever. He put a big A, big. I don't know what the phrase would be for that, but he got in their way. I see Tristan saying something about glazing Trump up. That dude, he's not the greatest guy. He's got a lot of problems. I don't agree with everything that he does. But Iran needed to be dealt with. Right. Peefish. Peace through strength. He's. I think it's only 10, 000 more troops than we normally have in the area. Right. It looks like he's staging up for ground where. I hope it doesn't come to that. I really don't. Maybe he will get a piece done, but Iran needs to see that he's not around anymore for it to happen. They've been threatened for decades with that never happened. There's Been red line after red line and they keep crossing it. Well, they finally crossed the red line, you know, not too long ago and they around and found out. And I'm hoping that this is a red line that they see that if they cross, they'll get up and lose whatever foothold that they have on that country. We'll see. I mean, I'm letting it play out. I don't know what's going to happen. I pray there ain't a ground war. But this was inevitable. Something was going to happen where we're gonna have to take Iran out for our own safety because they could touch a lot further than we thought they could with those ballistic missiles and it's not long until they can touch us here in America. So, no, I don't know what the answer is.

[Lewis]

I think we're saying that too. The way this was sold to us and the way this. I believe all. When we were singing Bomberan a month ago, we were just gonna drop a few bombs, knock the, Knock their dick in the dirt, and it was gonna be over. And it seems like we maybe underestimated the ability for them to do what they've been doing. Hitting, hitting high end. My military radar, email, other places I'm

[Mike]

sitting here going email, email, and Lewis is just pressing.

[Lewis]

But yeah, it seems like they've ir. Honestly, I think Iran has done much better than I would have assumed. When I was singing, we were all singing Bomberan. But now, you know, we went from no troops, no wars, to Marines and 82nd Airborne. There was a. I saw some real. No, I'm gonna preface this. It was a stripper talking. And like, it was a stripper talking about how all the people, all the military guys are in the bases are coming and blowing money right now and getting drunk and telling all the people in the strip clubs they're getting ready to get deployed. So our national, you know, so I'm just saying sounds like we got a lot of guys getting ready to go because they're. They're at the local shake and bake dumping their, dumping their bank account on some last, last ditch effort there to. Before they go overseas.

[Mike]

And they're.

[Lewis]

That's what they're telling everybody, that they're all being deployed. So we went from no deployment bombs to a few Marines are going over there to help with the straight to. We might have a combat jump by the 82nd Airborne.

[Mike]

Yeah, there's a, There's a tweet Trump put out that I sent to Louis via email.

[Lewis]

Did he get it?

[Mike]

Yeah, he Got it. The United States of America. Oh, Nick sent this to me, actually. The United States of America is in serious discussions with a new and more reasonable regime to end our military operations in Iran. Great progress had been made, but if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached. It will probably. It probably will be. And if the humor straight is not immediately open for business, we will conclude our lovely stay in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their electric generating plants, oil wells and care. How do you say that? Carg Islands and possibly all these. I hate reading live desalinization plants. What the hell is. No, it's water. I'm asking what desalinization means.

[Nick]

It makes the water drinkable.

[Mike]

The water. This will be in retribution for our many soldiers and others that Iran has butchered and killed over the old regime's 47 year reign of terror. Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Trump. And I mean, you're right, they have been the number one. What do you call that? Yeah, state sponsored terror.

[Lewis]

Yeah, they were number one.

[Mike]

They've been number one.

[Lewis]

They were number one. 2016 to 2022, back when Trump was Trump's first term. They were just as dangerous.

[Mike]

And Trump didn't care at all.

[Lewis]

I'm just saying, I'm not trying to be the. He did. He dropped the one bomb,

[Nick]

he stopped the payments and, you know, put on some more, Some pretty bad sanctions. But again, at what point do we just stop making red lines, letting them cross it until it's too late? And then everyone says, why didn't we do something when they didn't have nukes? I mean, everyone's looking at this through 1990 eyes like it's the 90s. It's not the 90s anymore. The world has changed. There's new alliances being formed. The complete global structure post World War II, it is dying, you know, and Trump's leading the charge and create new alliances and putting our country first. And, you know, you can laugh, dude, but it's the truth. And people just aren't looking at it, aren't looking at the different layers or the nuances. During the chat, all my, you know, this guy's an idiot. Don't know what he's talking about. Trump this, Trump that. I'm done with Trump. It's a different world. And we're so used to instant gratification anymore. Even the guys that are my age, you know, we want to know what's going on militarily right now. When the. Has that ever happened?

[Lewis]

Yeah,

[Nick]

what's going on?

[Lewis]

Well, we also. The president creates some of those things because he'll get up at 3am and post some on Twitter. It's like he. He can't hide from it at the same time that he wakes up at

[Nick]

3am you gotta look at why, though.

[Lewis]

What about the cryptic messages going. Have you seen the cryptic White House messages going out? Have you seen all that nonsense going on? The cryptic White House messages. All of a sudden they post a video. The White House is like flashing. There's weird music and then there's like a pixelated image that looks like Trump, looks like J.D. vance. And it's just randomly being posted on the.

[Mike]

This is like wwe, bro.

[Lewis]

Yeah. You just get a message. You have no idea what it means.

[Mike]

Attorney. Tune in Monday night at 9pm on the USA Network to see who's coming back to dominate the ring.

[Lewis]

Yeah, it's pretty.

[Nick]

Oh, how about let's have Airborne violence call up. This guy's so far gone. Let's see what your take.

[Mike]

Are you talking about you or Trump?

[Nick]

Talking about me.

[Mike]

Are you sure.

[Lewis]

How do we do the super chat in there, Louis? Let's figure that out now.

[Mike]

All right. Well, yeah, and try that.

[Lewis]

Can you click on it?

[Nick]

Oh, yeah, I can't speak. Yeah, there's some.

[Lewis]

Read this. Jefferson Newbie, we have been kicking the can down the road too much with Iran. I've dealt with these people. They despise America. Well, that stops now. Thank you.

[Nick]

She doesn't put Israel first. If. If Israel negotiations for peace, for saving oil wells, it would have been total annihilation. We wouldn't have stopped.

[Mike]

We can have Airborne call in a little bit later today. We got to move on to migration issues with Pat Brosnan in about 45 or about seven minutes at 11:45. But we can bring you back on if Airborne would like to call in and go ahead.

[Lewis]

To hell with G Money.

[Mike]

Don't feel obligated. We're not trying to run people away from our.

[Nick]

From our.

[Mike]

From our. From our show. You don't. This is just an opportunity. We. We open. We open this up to anybody. Anybody wants to call in, video in, whatever. We've got the world's best producer sitting over there. He is on top of it.

[Lewis]

He just did something rocking and rolling.

[Mike]

He's on it today, so.

[Lewis]

And yeah, we got a dollar super chat from Mike. Whatever you want to say.

[Mike]

That name Pouch rides.

[Lewis]

I think the ph makes it F, doesn't it?

[Mike]

Valtrades like phonics.

[Lewis]

Appreciate the dollar, man. All right, G Money Tristan's birthday.

[Mike]

Oh, Happy birthday.

[Lewis]

Happy birthday.

[Mike]

We are getting Huck. Huck Finn on. I'm. I just messaged him. Have you talked to him at all? Nick?

[Nick]

No. I have to get with him.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Nick]

When's he coming on?

[Mike]

Don't worry about it. I handle it, like, everything. I got it. I literally lined them up to go ahead and make it happen, and then I hear, hey, he's just chilling in the dms. I'm like, I thought he was supposed to talk to Nick. Did he not get a hold of you? I thought Nick the gun guy put you two together.

[Nick]

No, not yet. He did. I'll. I'll make it work. Communication.

[Lewis]

We got it. We got it. You just keep doing your character. We got it. He did. He messaged. He had. He messaged anti.

[Pat Brosnan]

Here.

[Lewis]

We're good.

[Mike]

I think we're gonna merge him in with you on Wednesday. I think Wednesday we're gonna try to have both you guys on.

[Nick]

Okay, perfect.

[Mike]

We'll get you guys in touch beforehand that you're gonna nominate him into the Most American Man. Was it called the hall of Fame?

[Nick]

Yeah, the All American man hall of Fame.

[Lewis]

Is Ryan the comey in the finalist to get in that or.

[Nick]

No, no, wait.

[Mike]

Joe. Joe Ring. Two dollar Super Chat. I sent a super chat on Rumble. See if it works.

[Lewis]

So it works.

[Mike]

Are we on Rumble? Can anybody, like, screenshot it and send it to us? Because we can't find it.

[Lewis]

I don't know how they find us.

[Mike]

I tried on my phone. I tried on my browser. I try. I could see that we have our. Our Anti Hero Rumble page with 181 followers, but other than that, it ain't got no live streams.

[Nick]

By the way, man, Nick the gun guy is great. I love that dude.

[Mike]

Yeah, all these dudes are great. Even Ja, who's a washed up tier 3 guy, he's pretty cool, too, so.

[Lewis]

Oh, yeah, it is here.

[Mike]

Where? Oh, so you see the super chat. So that means Gator found this live stream on Rumble.

[Lewis]

No, Joe Ring.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah, Joe Ring. Sorry, I just read Gator. Joe Ring found it on Rumble.

[Lewis]

Send us the link.

[Mike]

Yeah, email us the link so we can watch it. How many people does it say is watching on Rumble? One.

[Lewis]

One.

[Mike]

That's what I. I told him. Dude, we're gonna try this, but we're not building a platform for Rumble to utilize like Rumble needs to play ball, too. We've already got YouTube. Everybody's on YouTube. We don't need Rumble. And so Rumble's gonna have to, you know, come to their end of the deal and give us the. The bump that they said they would. Or, you know, we're. I'm not gonna say we're backing out, but we're definitely not gonna go through all of this just so Rumble can have us on there for.

[Lewis]

Yeah, I mean, we're.

[Canine]

I'm.

[Mike]

I'll be.

[Lewis]

Well, that's. I mean, here's the thing. It shows our willingness to help people. This guy, they reach out. We have one of our people, hey, try Rumble. But, yeah, at this point, we're. We're. This is like trying a new pair. You've run. You have the same shoes for your running, whatever, and now somebody says, try these. And you're like, they don't fit just right. But give them a chance. Give them a chance to break in a work. So we're willing to try, but we have to have. We have to have some dialogue back, because it'll be simple just to close this out, open up the other program and go back to what we've been doing, because it really. I. I guess in the long run, helps us as well. But I think we're going to help ourselves anyway, regardless of what platform we're on. So we would, you know, we would appreciate a little assistance, like being able to find where. Where it's actually live.

[Mike]

But, yeah, I mean, everybody said they went on there. They can't find it, so I can find it.

[Nick]

I find it every time.

[Lewis]

All right, well, we got to get

[Mike]

ready to try Joe. Joe just sent it to me. Yeah, see, he found it. Everybody said they went on there. They can't find it. So I'm watching on Rumble now. How the. Did you find it?

[Lewis]

But, like. Yeah, I don't know.

[Mike]

All right, all right. Thanks, Joe.

[Nick]

Good work, Joe. My take on Joe Kent. I gotta go, but I'll give you this quick one. I don't know much about it. All I know is he was removed from confidential meetings, I believe, six months ago. So where there's smoke, there's fire. It isn't like he just resigned and he was still in these. Those meetings. So I believe there's some credence into what the White House was saying that he was leaking because they wouldn't have stopped him from attending confidential meetings six months ago. Not to mention he was a Bernie bro up until 2020 or something like that. Bernie Bros. Dude. Yep.

[Mike]

Ken the. Wasn't he, like, a Ranger or SF guy or something?

[Lewis]

Wow. Yeah.

[Mike]

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. How do we know that he was

[Nick]

a Bernie Bro, I mean, I from. Understand it was vetted and checked out. I looked at multiple sources. I. I'll check it again.

[Lewis]

Well, your. Your new intro says we don't give a. We just say it.

[Mike]

That's not. That's our new.

[Lewis]

Oh, is it?

[Mike]

Yeah, our new intro.

[Nick]

There you go.

[Lewis]

It sounds very specific to what sounds like one person's voice that I don't.

[Mike]

Was Joe Cat a Bernie Sanders supporter? Searching. Yes. Republican congressional candidate Joe Kent voted for Bernie Sanders in the 2020 Democratic primary, a move he described as a tactical effort to ensure Donald Trump faced a weaker opponent in the general election.

[Lewis]

Okay, he wasn't gonna win knowing there was zero chance Bernie was gonna win.

[Nick]

Yeah. Yeah, his one vote was real tactical. Out of here.

[Mike]

Wait, is he saying he's lying about why he did it?

[Lewis]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Okay. Yeah, he said Kent was a registered Democrat at the time. He stated he was already supporting Trump and aimed to disrupt the Dem. Oh, I see. What? Yeah.

[Lewis]

Hey, babe.

[Mike]

I was just. I was texting to make sure that I knew where to not go.

[Lewis]

There you go.

[Nick]

I wasn't banging her. I tr. And fell into her.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Nick]

For real? Or. Or I. Yo, this gonorrhea I got. It's from the hot tub at Bally's or the bathroom. I didn't get it from a girl.

[Lewis]

Places Clint goes.

[Nick]

I've never used that excuse before.

[Mike]

All right, we should have Pat Brosman on here soon to talk about immigration issues.

[Nick]

Yeah, I could take a hint. I'll see you guys.

[Mike]

I'm not saying you gotta go, but you do. But not right now, but eventually.

[Lewis]

Well, it's 11:45. It's time.

[Mike]

I don't see Pat in.

[Lewis]

He's. He's waiting at the top. It's been there for 20 minutes. Bugging me.

[Mike]

Wait, where?

[Lewis]

Allow. No, no. Yeah, we're here. He's here.

[Mike]

I don't see him. Why isn't he down on the bottom?

[Lewis]

He's right there.

[Nick]

There he is.

[Mike]

He's gotta. We gotta turn on his mic and

[Nick]

bring him on real quick. Let me say hi to him.

[Lewis]

He's not there yet?

[Mike]

No, he's not there yet. Told you.

[Lewis]

He accepted, though.

[Mike]

We run a fine operation here.

[Nick]

He's a boomer, so you gotta give him.

[Mike]

It's 11:46.

[Nick]

A little leeway, apparently.

[Lewis]

Were you saying that that. That setup he's got is, like, legit. Legit in the basement? Yeah, there's some people talking about it.

[Mike]

What's his. What's Pat's thing called? It's called Brutal facts. That's gonna be a segment.

[Lewis]

Oh, did you see that come in?

[Mike]

How he like, that was pretty cool background, too.

[Lewis]

What's going on, Pat?

[Mike]

Oh, yeah, Lewis. Lewis, did you delete him?

[Pat Brosnan]

No.

[Nick]

Good job, Lewis.

[Lewis]

I think he disconnected. That was a teaser. That was a teaser coming up.

[Nick]

I usually defend you, Lewis. Kind of like whatever the word is. Colonize his ass. There we go.

[Lewis]

It's gone.

[Mike]

Yeah. People, I'm getting mixed reviews. Joe says he sees it on Rumble, but Six Jedi says he cannot find it on Rumble. I can't find a Rumble. You can't find it on Rumble. Kind of weird. Let me text Pat said we lost him. Hopefully he's just not randomly talking to the camera. Camera.

[Lewis]

He got dumped. And so far, I know what my vote is on what we're doing. What with this.

[Mike]

Oh, Rumble.

[Lewis]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah. We need to get on the horn with them.

[Nick]

You know, it's. It's first time. Got give it. You know, there's always a little awkwardness. It's like it's the. The butt sniffing stage for dogs, you know?

[Mike]

Yeah. Did you turn. Do we now do we turn his mic and camera on?

[Lewis]

No, he has to. When he connects, he's got to allow. Allow. And then you're gonna see it pop up. He's gonna allow the camera. He's gonna slide in like he did last time, and then we should be ready. But last night he was talking, like, as if he was on, but he was.

[Mike]

Yeah, we caught him right at the beginning.

[Pat Brosnan]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Yes. It's so. I'm like, I'm searching, you guys. I see my handsome face, but it's not showing me you're live anywhere.

[Mike]

No, there's no live. But then again, Joe found it and sent it to me, and I was just watching us live on Rumble, so I don't really know what the going on.

[Nick]

Yeah, that's crazy.

[Lewis]

All right.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Pat Brosnan]

Hey, guys. Hey, guys. Yeah, sorry, I got knocked off. I don't want to say anything too loud. Maybe I'll lose you, you know? How you doing, man?

[Nick]

Good. What's up, Pat? Have a good show. Just want to say hi. I'll see you guys later.

[Pat Brosnan]

Hey, Nick. Pleasure, man.

[Nick]

All right. How do I get out of here?

[Lewis]

We'll get. We'll have our producer do producer things and remove them.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Lewis]

Two, three, go. There we go. Pat, how's it going?

[Pat Brosnan]

Good, man.

[Mike]

Good.

[Pat Brosnan]

Good morning, guys.

[Mike]

Yeah. This is our. This is our first ever brutal facts with Pat. Do you not do. How do you like that? Do you like that brutal Facts. You're like, we're pretty open and honest. You like with Pat. That kind of sounds weird. Maybe Pat Brosnan, I think.

[Pat Brosnan]

Well, you know what we. We do with it? We do Brutal Facts with Pat Brosnan. That's the easier one, you know? Yeah, I do. I do a couple of radio shows in New York.

[Mike]

You know, you got a cool logo made for that or do you want us to make you one? Throw it right up on the screen. Come on.

[Pat Brosnan]

You can make one up. We got a couple of them, but I don't have a handle to put up right now.

[Lewis]

But we do got a couple motorcycles.

[Pat Brosnan]

Yeah, whatever.

[Mike]

You.

[Pat Brosnan]

Yeah, you know, so I. I did this where the bikes are. So this way we got a little cool backdrop that.

[Lewis]

So that is your basement?

[Pat Brosnan]

Yeah, that's underground. Yeah, that's. That's underground. I keep. It's. It's actually freezing. It's 54 degrees here year round, even in the summer, because it's really. It's 30ft under the ground. And I keep Harleys from 1910 to 1965, consecutive.

[Mike]

Do you. Do you have to worry about flooding with a. With a built basement 30ft under the ground?

[Pat Brosnan]

Honestly, not too much. We have a pretty sophisticated sump system in. You know, fire was a bigger concern because I keep all the bikes running, so I. I'm pretty cautious on that side. But it's no, flooding's not a big deal. The bigger concern is freezing to death because it. When it's cold out, it drops to it to like 34, 35 degrees. And I refuse to wear a jacket. So I'm just frozen the whole day here.

[Mike]

Can you not pump heat in there?

[Pat Brosnan]

I got a couple little heaters I just picked up recently just to kind of, you know, because my. My assistant is human and she actually feels the cold. I don't feel it too much. Pretty strange thing, human. But I think I'm used to it,

[Mike]

you know, hey, man, you cold blooded,

[Lewis]

don't know your success. And they. They're wondering how much. How many kickbacks you took as a New York cop to have a basement full of Harley Davidson motorcycles.

[Pat Brosnan]

It is true, man. I know people think that, and anytime they do, I tell them, step into my shoes. For 30 years, running the largest security company in the country, family owned, you know, putting 7,000 people to work every day across 550 cities. And then I could tell them to figure out where the tin cans were. Yeah, that would have been so much easier.

[Mike]

Well, we did the Wednesday Friends Day episode with you and Mike. That can kind of go into that. You can get to know Patrick, you get to know his background is. And we all collectively thought this would be a great opportunity for both us and Pat to bring him on in the segment as he's very knowledgeable about, you know, domestic issues when it comes to law enforcement, anti terrorism. And so today we, we're going to talk about migrant crimes in the recent months.

[Pat Brosnan]

Yeah, the migrant crimes have gotten so out of, it's so out of hand. I mean, you know, Biden's open border policy is just, is just the nightmare that keeps on giving is the only way I can articulate it. We had Raymond Ocasio Reynoso. It's almost inconceivable to me, even after a lot of years in the South Bronx dealing with really, really bad guys. This guy's been charged with the rape of a five year old. Five. Five. That's a. I think that's pre K. That's pre kindergarten. I mean.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah.

[Pat Brosnan]

You know, my mind can't even wrap around it. I, I wonder what ring of hell metaphorically and realistically for an animal like that. You know, the. When I, when I read of these crimes against children by these savages who slithered through the border while Biden was. I don't know what the hell he was. He was sleeping at the switch for so long, I don't even know how to articulate precisely what level of coma he was in. But whatever it was, we're dealing with it now. And I mean, listen, the. I'm sure you and your listenership are familiar with the murder of Sheridan Garvey, which occurred outside Loyola University at the pier last Saturday morning. 18 years old freshman from New York, from Yorktown, I believe. Upstate New York. This guy, Medina, Jose Medina, approached her and her girlfriends. They were hanging out, minding their own business. Freshmen all in black. He's dressed, Medina, wearing a mask. And he ran up on her and they ran. They seen him coming with a gun and he shot her in the back. Killed her, executed a point blank. A blood thirsty savage. Not a robbery. Not that that makes it any worse

[Mike]

or better, but it gives us a motive, you know, not, Not. You're evil. Right?

[Pat Brosnan]

Right. There's no sexual component. There's no robbery component. There's no larceny. There's no prolonged attack which would suggest a revenge element. This is just pure wicked, vicious evil in its purest form. This is a cold blooded bloodthirsty execution of a freshman. It's really mind blowing. The level of violence that these Animals have brought to our country under the open borders and we're, we're seeing it day after day after day. There's just so many. It's actually hard, it's actually difficult to keep track of them. You know, they, they're coming in fast and furious, one worse than the next. And I got to tell you, the, the Sheridan Gorman murder at the park there by Loyola was really an exceptionally brutal attack with absolutely, absolutely no motivation. 0 dilts.

[Lewis]

Not what I think we're seeing. You know, obviously we've had catastrophes throughout our history. We've had shootings, mass shooting, but this is obviously a new thing that we didn't have before the open borders and these extremists being in our country was. We had a lot of crimes of passion. We had the robberies, we had the drug rips. We had this stuff that was already in almost impossible to keep up with. But like Tyler said, they were motive based crimes. We really didn't have unmotivated, just killings based on coming from another country or having a different religious belief and trying to make a statement for the homeland. That is the direction the Biden administration allowed this country to go. And now we have no idea how many of these incidents we're going to see. So when sometimes oh the. You blame everything on the open border. There's only a few people that got through. It doesn't matter. You have extreme extremists that most Americans can't go, I'm just going to kill somebody for no reason. Like I, in my head, I can't imagine I'm just going to go over there and kill that guy because I don't like this hat it. We don't have that. But when you have these extreme backgrounds of people that have these extreme beliefs, no problem. No problem at all. Unmotivated, unprovoked, just. I'm going to go do that for no other reason than xyz. We're not used to that.

[Mike]

And Pat nailed it. And I'm really, I'm really happy Pat used this terminology before I did because sometimes when you use it, you have to worry that the person you're conversing with doesn't agree with that term. But it's savagery versus civilization. That's it. That's all it is. It's a savage, animalistic behavior versus civilized people.

[Pat Brosnan]

Yeah, 1,000%. And, and I've been calling these animals what they are. And actually it's kind of an insult to animals. You know, it really is. It's an insult to animals because at least animals have, have a dignity about them and, and an underlying motivation and are driven by, you know, millions of years of, of you know, gathering and hunting and killing and so forth. The, these animals, this barbaric behavior that we're seeing is really relatively unprecedented at the scale. And, and I give an analogy back in the dark ages in probably about 85 of January 1st was New Year's morning of 85, I was, it was just before the opening day of crack in New York, which I ascribed to St. Patrick's Day. Without any material facts to support it other than that it makes sense. I turned down on a day tour, eight to four in the 4 6. And it's unbelievable. There was four dead bodies on four separate corners in the 4 6. Four separate corners. Completely unrelated as it turned out, if you can believe it. It's almost some. It's. It defies belief that they weren't related. But the point was if you take a look at the madness that we're seeing today, which you guys nailed, which is without motive, without reasoning, without rationale, just pure wicked venomous hatred, brimming hatred for this country and just pure evil. At least those crimes, those four murders. When all the dust settled, when all the investigation came through, I learned I, I was a patrolman, so I wasn't involved. But I did make it my business to understand what happened because we were there, you know, at the first on scene, first on four scenes. And they all had a reason. Yeah, there was motivation for everyone. Mostly drugs. I think one, it's been a long time. I think one was a girlfriend matter. But at least, and it's no rationale at all, but at least it made sense in, in the crazy, crazy world of criminal behavior. Right. Of South Bronx crack infused madness. And you know, it wasn't, you know, it wasn't completely random where you know, somebody walked by. I didn't like the way he walked. You know, I didn't like color of his hair and I just shot him in the face.

[Lewis]

Other than like gang area of la, which we know that happened. That's not normal. Before we 100, before we go break at noon, I got one thing right. Okay. Okay. One topic great for this because I saw this was sent to me this morning. You'll like this is on the top we're talking about. Muslim activists are calling on police officers not to approach them with canines in the airport sniffing dogs because they say their religious beliefs and cleanliness traditions making contacts with dogs make them uncomfortable. Some are even refusing to enter police stations that have canines. Think about that concept. The people that. And I'm not saying all of them, but the reason we have to have Bob sniffing dogs at the airport or 911, right. Certain people decided to do a certain thing, and now those people are here in our country and they're offended and upset about their beliefs because canines are sniffing them for bombs at airports where they came through security and took down planes and killed people. And just the audacity to even say that out loud to me seems crazy. What is. What do you think about that?

[Pat Brosnan]

I have to say it one more time in my head to really wrap my hands around it.

[Mike]

Hold on, Pat. Hold on one second.

[Lewis]

Good.

[Mike]

All right.

[Pat Brosnan]

You know, it's. Every day you hear stuff, it just gets crazier and crazier that. That's one of the more crazy ones recently. But then again, when you think that we gave the keys to the great city of New York to this Muslim extremist, Soram and Dami, in spite of the fact that his uncle is an unindicted co conspirator from the attacks on the towers on February 26, 1993, when six Americans were slaughtered and hundreds went to the hospital seriously injured, we gave this guy this wicked, wicked rattlesnake. We gave him to the keys to what's arguably the greatest city in the world even today with him at the helm. And. And some of the plans he has for us are almost contiguous with the reasoning behind the Muslims saying, listen, we don't. We don't want the dogs. We don't want the. The canine or the bomb sniffing canines to come up and sniff us. You know, we have. You know, we have hygiene concerns. It almost leaves me speechless.

[Lewis]

How American is that? That again, we are the only country where you can make that demand. You can. It's like walking into somebody else's house and going, hey, man, I'm here visiting at your. You're letting me in your house. I don't like your carpet. I don't like anything about you. I want this cooked. I want the. It's. The mindset is insane.

[Mike]

Or look at it like this, right? Like there's a. There's an epidemic running across America of domestic terrorists wearing red backwards hats, killing people in the streets and slaughtering them. Law enforcement and the feds can't figure out how to. How to. You think I'm gonna wear this hat and walk around? I'm not gonna be like, mike, you need to accept the fact that I'm wearing a red hat? And I might stab you in the throat. No, I'm. I want to operate in society and it's a problem. So I want to utilize the benefits of this country. But they don't.

[Lewis]

Nowhere else would that happen. Nowhere else could you walk into any country and. And act like this. And that's the balance of the freedoms we have. When I think the freedoms are exploited at some point, yes, I believe in the Constitution, I believe in all that stuff. And we've kind of gone down the rabbit hole with the RPOs and the taking guns. Second Amendment. That's a whole slippery show. But at the same time, we can't be so free. So free that you can go, I don't want a bomb sniffing dog next to me because of xyz and you're not allowed to bring it. So who gets to say that? That's kind of like the transgender thing to me. It's like at some point you just go, well, I'm this, I'm that today. I'm this today, I'm that. I'm gonna avoid every loophole.

[Mike]

You can play on the women's basketball team.

[Lewis]

Like, they're looking. Not only are they lost.

[Nick]

Pat.

[Lewis]

Yeah, he's gone. All right. But not only are like, in that situation are there those problems. We are the only country that allows those problems to exist. Like, so many people in the comments were saying, like, Muslims are attacking people walking their pets in England and stuff. They're just beating the out of them because they look at dogs as like, you're not supposed to be around a dog. Dogs are disgusting. But where else in the world. Nowhere other than the countries that are just laying down, are you allowed to walk into somebody else's home and start dictating their rules? They've infiltrated the elections.

[Pat Brosnan]

I didn't touch anything.

[Lewis]

Now they're infiltrating. Like, were you finished?

[Pat Brosnan]

No, you're good. You're back, you're back.

[Lewis]

No, you're back. You're still on because your mic.

[Pat Brosnan]

So I'm still here.

[Lewis]

Like behind the scenes.

[Pat Brosnan]

Nothing up

[Mike]

when you remove them, does it keep them in the lobby or what does it do?

[Lewis]

He popped back in on that link and then Lewis added them out of pure. Well, to be fair.

[Mike]

But then you don't want him to.

[Lewis]

I don't want anything. I don't want to be on the camera when I don't know him on the camera.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Lewis]

So so far, I'm rumbles about a one and a half out of ten. I'm going with a one it's not Lewis's fault. This is a one and a half.

[Mike]

It's gonna depend on our conversation with Rumble. That's what it's going to depend on.

[Lewis]

You can. So he's back. Let's bring him back in. Hold on.

[Pat Brosnan]

Yeah, I'm back, guys. What did I drop on your side? Because we. We have the engineer here.

[Lewis]

We need a line to him. Don't say anything stupid.

[Mike]

Well, bring. Are you.

[Lewis]

He's talking, though, so I don't know.

[Mike]

Why isn't Lewis bringing him in?

[Lewis]

I don't know. Pat, you're good. You're good. You're in.

[Pat Brosnan]

Okay. Hey, guys.

[Lewis]

Yep.

[Pat Brosnan]

Hey, guys. Was it. Was that on my side? Because you don't know.

[Lewis]

I don't think so. I don't think so.

[Mike]

We've never had. Mike's very cynical. We tried something one, and Mike threw it on the ground and doesn't want it anymore.

[Lewis]

So far you've been booted three times. So we. We don't know whose fault that's. That was. It's my.

[Pat Brosnan]

But listen, you do.

[Mike]

A new platform also, by the way, we could really. Yeah. We would like to talk to Brianna from Rumble because we're. We're excited. We just launched today on Rumble, but we're having issues like half of our viewers can't even find us on Rumble and the other half can.

[Pat Brosnan]

I'll make that happen.

[Lewis]

I'll.

[Pat Brosnan]

I'll get on the hook after. After this, guys.

[Lewis]

Sweet.

[Pat Brosnan]

I'll. You want me to tell her just to put together a freeway call?

[Mike]

Yeah. I'm pretty much free whenever. As long as we're not live. It's just so we can figure out. Because we don't want people not listening because they can't find it. But we also don't know if it's a user error because we're stupid.

[Lewis]

Yeah. I mean, it's. It's. It's a. I'm being funny when. Most of this comedy.

[Mike]

Are you now?

[Lewis]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Backtracking.

[Lewis]

No, I'm being funny, but most of the. It's not working. So it's not like, you know, if you're. If we had like, six followers and we're just breaking in, but, you know, you can't have the thing going on and off and not knowing what's going on.

[Mike]

Yeah. We don't know if that was us or you just. Because it's a. We don't have any control. Controlled. We had Nick on before you and it. And it. It was working fine, but then you came on and. And it wasn't. But we've only had one other guest on you other than you on this new Rumble platform. That's our bad. If that was us at any time that you just, anytime you come in, we bring you in. We'll try to get a better situation because I want people to know that they're on the screen just for privacy reasons, like you should know. Like I don't know if Rumble's telling you you are or if it's not telling you. So we'll get that squared away. We're sorry about that, Pat. That's our bad.

[Pat Brosnan]

Yeah, no, no problem. I mean, listen, I'm still, I'm still recovering from the, the canines and, and the Muslim directive that they concerned about their hygiene with the bomb sniffing dogs. It's really, it's really the height of arrogance, the height of ignorance and it's, it's only in this country. But I will tell you guys, and I'm sure you share this and we touched on it briefly the last time, you know, with the war in Iran, there is little question in my mind that we are on a really everything, everywhere, all the time threat environment. I mean, nothing is off the off the limits right now. Nothing's off the table. And I personally am very worried that we're going to see not just an uptick in what I call lone rat, not lone wolves. Lone rat. Because wolves are a beautiful animal. These guys and girls that are self indoctrinated and operating without a structure are really lone rats. And I think we're going to see, we're going to see a good bit more of it going on. I mean, we've seen it, we've seen five attacks in four or five days, two weeks ago. It's been a little bit tiny bit quieter lately, but I, I believe we're squarely in their crosshairs. And this is scary stuff. It's actually terrifying.

[Mike]

Yeah. And it's, it's every, it just seems like it's getting worse and worse and we actually have Europe to reference and no one's doing anything about it. No one. It doesn't seem like anybody cares.

[Pat Brosnan]

Absolutely not.

[Nick]

No.

[Pat Brosnan]

I mean you look at, look at Great Britain and you look at France, they, they let them get away to, you know, literally with murder.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Pat Brosnan]

Now you, you know the cat's out of the bag, right? Can't put it back in. Can't stuff that genie back in a bottle. I mean, we're, we are doing a very good job with the federal authorities and local guys and in terms of gaining intelligence and more importantly, putting snitches into their little, you know, little constructs where they're. We're able to get our guys next to the bad guys and to prevent and interdict on these matters. What they had planned for Los Angeles on New Year's Eve was really, really evil. That, that was, that was a bad one. That was five or five or six different locations that they had some really wicked, wicked acts of terrorism they were going to commit in contemporaneously on New Year's. And listen, we got to get lucky every time, right? Yeah, that's about every time we got to get lucky. So it's, it's a, It's a really, really tough and some game, man.

[Mike]

All right, well, Pat, if you. If you guys haven't seen him on his own podcast, Pat is the host of the Pat Brosden Live from the Bat Cave, which is on YouTube. And is that on. That is. Is that Randy on the radio as well for certain demo or certain geographical territories, or is that just on YouTube or is that two separate shows?

[Pat Brosnan]

So we're, we're live 9:00am Eastern out of New York. We broadcast into the Tri State Area, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut on AM 970. That's my show. 9 to 10am It's Pap Brosnan Life in the Bat Cave. And then we convert to podcast, global podcast. And we go across all the. All the apps and all the platforms. So. But the show is 9am Eastern. Every Saturday morning, tune in life for the bat cave. 30ft underground somewhere. Somewhere in Gotham under a nondescript building at an undisclosed location. But I know you guys will find me. So listen, this is great, guys. My pleasure. Thank you.

[Mike]

If I come to New York City, will you. Will you take me on a tour of your.

[Pat Brosnan]

Absolutely.

[Mike]

I don't even care about the city. I want to see your underground bunker.

[Pat Brosnan]

Absolutely. Listen, and we'll. We'll have. We'll have some good times, man. We'll shoot some two guns too. I got a range down here, so.

[Lewis]

Beautiful.

[Mike]

Beautiful.

[Lewis]

That sounds awesome.

[Pat Brosnan]

Yeah. So we call it Bullets Imposter. So let's make it happen.

[Lewis]

I like both.

[Pat Brosnan]

You got it. Me too.

[Mike]

Appreciate it. We will see you soon.

[Pat Brosnan]

Pleasure, guys. Thank you. Thanks.

[Mike]

Yes, sir.

[Pat Brosnan]

Have a great day, guys. Cheers.

[Lewis]

Great guest.

[Mike]

Great dude.

[Lewis]

Great dude.

[Mike]

All right, we are going to take a quick commercial break as always, and we will return. We will be talking sports. We will catch up on the week and we'll project for the rest of the week. I have no Idea. What's going on? Sports. I don't really watch sports, but canine and Mike will be informing you. We'll be right back.

[Lewis]

Hold on one second. Beforehand. Lewis is on. He's gonna put this super chat up.

[Mike]

Oh, oh, Jefferson.

[Lewis]

Newbie, go ahead, hit it. Lewis is locked in on it. I saw it coming and I wanted to see that unfold.

[Mike]

Jefferson's a newbie.

[Lewis]

Freedom isn't free. And Abraham Lincoln once said to cut the arm off to save the body. That is what is happening right now under Trump.

[Mike]

Freedom isn't free. And Abraham Lincoln once said to cut the arm off to save the body. So you're saying Trump is cutting the arm off to save America? What's the arm?

[Lewis]

Bad things. Bad, Bad people.

[Mike]

Bad people.

[Lewis]

Now you can roll them.

[Mike]

I agree. If your arm's infected, you gotta cut it off, save the body.

[Lewis]

Let's see what Lewis does with the mid thing. Do you have the commercial ready?

[Wyatt]

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 carries 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.

[Lewis]

We're back.

[Mike]

Also, do not forget, go check out Counterculture Inc. @Counterculture Inc. Threads.com use promo code Anti Air. Save 15 on all your counterculture graphic tees, stickers, hats, flags, zip up hoodies, Ranger panties, We have it. There was somebody that commented on the ad the other day that said, is this a MAGA brand? And I was like, if you're, if you're one of those people that are all one or all the other, dude, you're not counterculture. Because counterculture people are not led like sheep. That's the whole point of counterculture. So think for yourself. But apparently because I was Wearing a red hat in the ad. I was MAGA, but anyways, go to counterculturingthreads.com use promo code ANTARA15. Save 15 on the best graphic tees that are counterculture in nature.

[Lewis]

I were. I repped it the whole way during the cruise. Everybody loved them too. All the dealers. Yeah, we. I think I wore a counterculture shirt, some version of it, every single day. But there is also Copville OG.com go to cop.com use code ANTIRE15 for 15 off of your war hats. All the other stuff. And l. You can bring that down. Don't have the graphic yet, but dogsoverpeople.org as you guys can see, I'm wearing the new hats. New hoodie. So we'll get that one going as well. I donate portions of that to dog rescues and help out with animals for that.

[Mike]

Do you do the same thing you do with podcasts? Do you do with apparel lines? Just create like a million of them.

[Lewis]

What do you mean?

[Mike]

Like, you have like a million podcasts?

[Lewis]

I have two podcasts, Copville and Hot Topic.

[Mike]

Oh, you haven't even started the other ones yet. That's right.

[Lewis]

What other ones?

[Mike]

You said you're gonna.

[Lewis]

Oh, my God. If you haven't. So for. I know where he's going with this. So as a human, we sometimes we have problems. And Jay the Plug. Jay the plug happens to have some personal things. He's going on custody with his child and some other things and his baby mama. So that show is. It's all up to him. Whenever he's ready to go, that one's coming. But no dogs are people is actually older than Copville or right at the same age as Cobb.

[Mike]

We'll get to the origin story of that because I like how you switched him up because of the lady at the airport. But we got canine waiting. Maybe canine in there.

[Lewis]

Allow at the top.

[Mike]

I saw him pop in.

[Lewis]

Except see how this goes.

[Mike]

There's a lot of steps to bring somebody in, huh?

[Lewis]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Whoa, whoa.

[Lewis]

We gotta wait for him to show up.

[Mike]

There he is.

[Lewis]

There he is.

[Mike]

Yo, what's up, man? We gotta. We gotta. We gotta pump this energy up. We don't want to lose people. So what is going on in the world of sports last week and this week?

[Canine]

So this week, I would say probably the biggest news that came out sports related was Tiger Woods. He ended up getting arrested again. He flipped his Range Rover. He ended up striking a. A pressure washer truck and a trailer. When the cops came, they made him take a breathalyzer test. He ended up passing it. He blew triple zeros, but he was obviously impaired. That boy just can't get off them pills, man.

[Mike]

Oh, he was narcotics. Yeah.

[Lewis]

He refused your analysis.

[Mike]

So what's he just. He's just gonna beat the DUI then, but he's gonna lose his license for a year.

[Lewis]

But the whole jokes I said was, this dude can't afford an Uber. Like, because he's like, he's been out for a while injured. He's just now like. It was ironic. The irony of the post were like, what day did that happen? Saturday. I was on a cruise. Friday, whatever day it happened. Like the day earlier, all these golf websites were like, the man is back. Tiger's hitting the ball. He's almost back. It was all these ads for Tiger woods coming back. And then like two days later, he rolls his car hammered on pills.

[Mike]

And don't call it a comeback.

[Lewis]

I can only imagine. Here's my take on it. He doesn't get a pass. But here's my take on. On it. I kind of look at him like wrestlers. This guy is a top tier golfer, does things we've never seen in the world of golf. He's the most elite athlete when it comes to golfing. He gets injured. That's got to be the most mentally challenging thing ever to go. This is who I am. I. I am the best. Now I can't swing the club to see now I can't do this. I can see where it easily would be. Get on some pain meds and get addicted. Because you're trying to get past the pain of not being able to do what you used to be able to do. And then you. Your whole life up. And it seems like at some point he's now got a problem. I wouldn't suspect.

[Canine]

Yeah, he. He actually came back to golf and performed. I think it was actually two days before the accident in the tgl, which is kind of like a virtual golf thing. He was, he was playing for the. His team out of Jupiter, Florida and he was actually hinting at that he was going to try to make the Masters cut and was going to in the Masters. So then. And obviously all this happened. So I don't think he's gonna be in the Masters now.

[Mike]

But no, you think he's done with golf?

[Lewis]

I mean, like he said he was injured anyway. He's playing that virtual. Which basically hit into a screen and then it shows your drive. And then at some point they have a real putting green inside the building and people sit and watch He's, I mean, I, I would think that you

[Mike]

got a pr, PR nightmare, career orienting injury or, you know, not ending, but it's definitely gonna, it's gonna have something to do with it. And then on top of that, another scandal.

[Lewis]

And it's, it's unfortunate that he's obviously, he's an icon and he's a huge

[Mike]

draw, but it was Connor McGregor.

[Lewis]

But yeah, but with all that going on, it's like, is he, I mean, he's not gonna play well and then he's gonna bear. If you didn't want to go embarrass him, then the venue goes okay. We're gonna give him a waiver. We're gonna let him in. Even though he hasn't played in X amount of years, he's a past champion. Then he's got all this stuff going on. It kind of, I mean, the cloud kind of follows you. I mean, he is Tiger Woods. I get it. You want him there. People are going to come just to see him. But you have to draw the line at, is this good for everybody, including himself? Is it good for himself if he's got some type of addiction to really be out doing that?

[Mike]

Did you see Clint's joke?

[Lewis]

I did not.

[Mike]

A lion would never drive drunk, but a tiger would.

[Lewis]

That's pretty good.

[Mike]

I thought that was funny.

[Lewis]

Ironically, that, because it's so close to where I live and there's the resting officer, used to actually work with me.

[Mike]

Oh, really?

[Lewis]

Yeah. So close to home for that one. Jupiter is in Martin county, which is just two counties south of where we're at.

[Mike]

But did you get any good info?

[Lewis]

No, I don't care about that stuff anymore. I mean, I, I, I, I'm a Tiger woods fan. I feel, I think the dude kind of like NASCAR is boring to most people. And then like the Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, all that stuff that got me interested. Who the watches golf even now? There's some really good golfers. But dude, when Tiger was going through that, just making these unbelievable shots and doing all that crazy.

[Mike]

You know what?

[Lewis]

There's no way he's gonna make this 18 foot putt that breaks seven feet left and he drains it. And you're just like, how does, how does he do that?

[Mike]

And then of course, then people who would never talk about golf or PGA are now talking about it on podcasts.

[Lewis]

Yes. Yes.

[Mike]

Tiger's sitting in a jail cell. Like, you're welcome everybody.

[Lewis]

Yeah. Hammered. Good memes. I saw some really good memes. So what else is going on? Duke Duke took it. Took an L last night, huh?

[Canine]

Man, they were up, I think, 20 points going into half. They had, like, a 98.7 chance to win. It was something crazy like that UConn came back that last possession of the game. All Duke had to do is hold the ball.

[Lewis]

I mean, yeah, I don't understand what they were doing. I don't even watch it. But Duke had the lead by two. All they had to do was grab the ball and, like, run the clock out, like 10 seconds. And they tried to do all these fancy passes and turned it over. And the dude from Yukon hits on an almost half court shot to win the game.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Lewis]

Like, crazy. Crazy.

[Canine]

Did you see Dan Hurley, like, headbutted the ref after it.

[Mike]

Wait, is that Dan Hurley?

[Lewis]

Yeah, that's him. He's related to. Yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah, we know his nephew Tim. It's a cop up in New Jersey. Yes.

[Lewis]

Oh, okay.

[Canine]

Yeah, he's a character.

[Mike]

Dude,

[Lewis]

That was an epic joke.

[Canine]

Oh, yeah. That was one of the biggest jokes I've ever seen in March Madness history.

[Lewis]

For everything that unfold the way it did, to not have to worry about do much but just hold, even get fouled, what was the point of not just letting them foul you? You're up two, you go make one. The worst that can happen is you tie the game. Like, everything. That's one of those ones that's so bad. It's like. Like when you see somebody's life just unravel. I guess we did. When you see somebody's life unravel and they're just decision after decision, like, this was like, how can you. How could all of that gone together at one time? Like, how did all that happen at once? And then the guy makes the shot from that far away. It just. It's just insane that it all fell apart the way it did.

[Mike]

Oh, big choke. Bad.

[Lewis]

Yeah, Big, big choke.

[Canine]

I had Duke winning it, too, in my bracket at work, so I'm out of it now.

[Mike]

Busted. Anything going on, usc?

[Lewis]

There was fights. Oh, my gosh. Over the weekend. A lady got destroyed.

[Canine]

Yeah, Izzy is. I think Izzy might be done, man.

[Lewis]

He says he's not, but. Yeah, he looked bad. That was. What, in London? Was that in London?

[Canine]

I'm not sure.

[Lewis]

Was it just a regular event? Wasn't one of the named ones. It was a regular event. Adesanya got knocked out. And then there was a female fight with Alessa Alexa Grasso. She knocked this chick out. She was done. She hit the ground, but you couldn't tell she was Done. Because she was so knocked out that she, like sat there with her eyes open. So she put her in a chokehold. She was already, like, dead. Then she gets put in the chokehold. And then the referee's like, all right, stop. Then she just laid. It was scary for a minute. It was like, she looks dead. Like movie dead. You know in the movies. Yeah, like everybody dies with their eyes open. It was pretty bad. I was like, jesus. Okay, it was in Seattle. All right, Seattle. But yeah, it was a. Then we got. We'll get. We'll get to that. After him. Never mind.

[Canine]

Baseball's back too, obviously.

[Lewis]

Yeah, Mets are doing their Mets things like last night. So somebody asked how the Mets are doing in the chat.

[Canine]

Mets are doing pretty well, I would say. I mean, they're two in one. I mean, they played the Pirates, but, you know, they knocked Skins out in the first inning. You know, the Cy Young winner from last year. So that was. That was good to see. Opening day, you know, the Mets. The Mets are going to have a lot of ups and downs like they do every year.

[Lewis]

Do you know how hard it here? Let's talk about corporate. So I'd get the baseball package every year, right? Simple. You 149. You get every game of the season. 149 for the whole season.

[Mike]

Is it as complicated as watching the NFL?

[Lewis]

No, but it was T Mobile and when we. I think you get it for free, right?

[Canine]

Like 120amonth for T Mobile and they

[Lewis]

give you 150 baseball pack at T. That's much cheaper. But when I was on T Mobile, it was free. So I get the baseball pad. So I try to go buy it. Well, ESPN's got their grubby fingers in it now, so you can't just go buy the baseball package. You go to mlbtv.com try to buy it, it's like, nope, you got to go to espn. Then it's like, you got to log in espn. So they're logging espn. Well, in order to get the baseball package, you have to buy ESPN plus for one month in order to get that. And then I'm like, okay, in order to get ESPN plus, you have to have a Disney account login. So I'm like fucking seven logins deep, sitting on my couch. The game's going on. I'm getting the updates. I just got back from a cruise. I'm like, I just want to watch the fucking baseball game. Finally, after like half the game's over, 162 later, I got the baseball package in the fucking.

[Mike]

Do you remember when you used to be able to put it on channel 7 or 13?

[Lewis]

Yes.

[Mike]

And watch the game.

[Lewis]

It's simple. Simple. I literally was googling and I consider myself pretty intelligent when it comes to the Internet and how to buy things because I like blowing money. I couldn't physically spend my $160. I couldn't get it to work. So now ESPN has their hands in all MLB. You have to go through ESPN to watch the MLB package. The MLB TV app is dead now. You can't use it for anything. So.

[Mike]

Well, we're also gonna have to. Did you have to download the Rumble app to use this link?

[Canine]

No, I did not. I just clicked the link in the email and it brought me here. But yeah, it's working now, I guess.

[Lewis]

All right, anything else? What you got tonight? What's. What's the topic tonight on where do we find you and what's the topic tonight?

[Canine]

So tonight on the counterculture YouTube page, we're going to be going live, 7pm Eastern. We go live every Monday. Sipo and I. My brother's been joining as well. I don't know if he's going to be on tonight. Brother Red, but it's been good, man. And tonight we're gonna be talking baseball. You know, NBA playoffs are starting soon, so we're going to be breaking that down. You know, just going over pretty much everything that happened. A little bit about the Tiger woods thing, that happened too. But yeah, live tonight, 7pm Be there.

[Lewis]

We'll be there.

[Mike]

All right, brother, I'll see you tonight. Wyatt's having trouble getting in, so you

[Lewis]

want to go to that video?

[Mike]

What video?

[Lewis]

The police video I have.

[Mike]

Yeah, sure.

[Lewis]

All right, get that. So let me preface it with we always get flack. Like there's the whole 30 by 30, the female initiative, females. Cops, should be cops, shouldn't be cops. Most guys will say in the chat, you know, shouldn't be cops. You know, we have Dominic Enzo contributes to the network. He takes a pretty hard stand on it, posts a lot of it. I kind of dive into that because my reason for diving more is I have. Obviously I'm related to a female cop who I watch work above and beyond to be way above the female norm and actually in the male, you know, in a male dominated field. But we have a. The irony of this is I was just about pulling back into port when this video happens. This is a video I'm giving show out of Miami. There's a music festival which I was telling you, remember I thought It'd be late. There was a huge music festival downtown where the arena is in Miami. Right on the beach or. I'm sorry, on the water. 150, 000 people coming into Miami for. For a three day music event. So I got back Sunday morning. This was actually Saturday. What you're about to watch is an interaction with a person that. I don't know what crime they committed. If they committed a crime. A resisting subject and several female cops.

[Mike]

Oh gosh.

[Lewis]

And you make your decision on what you guys.

[Mike]

Were they at least wearing their vests?

[Lewis]

They believe so. But you know how to play it. Louis.

[Pat Brosnan]

It.

[Lewis]

We have the ability to pause it. All right. I just want to make sure we did. Good. I'm going to point some things out as we get closer.

[Mike]

Good.

[Lewis]

Pause it. You hear what the guy in the background said? Where are the male officers at? You got five females here. Completely independent guy just standing around. No police acknowledge he sees a guy resisting and his first thought is his

[Mike]

human reaction is get males here.

[Lewis]

He says it.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Lewis]

Why is there 5 females? Get a male officer here. That's a civilian monitoring the situation. Roll seed. She just shot him. For what? Roll back. Can you rewind?

[Mike]

Lewis?

[Lewis]

Let's go back. So we got a resisting subject. Let's play. She's trying to spray him. Oh, I see. An absolutely insane comment. We're gonna have to get to that one because it's wrong as it gets.

[Mike]

Is that it?

[Lewis]

It goes on for many minutes until they get him in custody. So you can. You can. But here's. I want to play one. One funny thing. Keep going. You're gonna see the. The person that shot him. Unjustifiably 100. My opinion. Dropped her taser. And you're gonna watch a civilian. Go get it. Bring it back to the scene. What? Look at this guy.

[Mike]

Look.

[Lewis]

He's dragging it. He's like.

[Pat Brosnan]

Here you go.

[Lewis]

You. You left this over here. And he walks it out. So you can. You can stop. You can bring it back. Bring me back. So I Want to. Mike Fritz, 7, says he was coming at her. Justified.

[Mike]

Where does he say that?

[Lewis]

Right there. It's on the thing.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Lewis]

So let's talk about that. The big argument for females is they're going to. You have to use more force sooner than men. That was five men. You and I size. We're all standing around fighting that guy. And any of us decided to shoot him for coming at us, we're going to federal prison.

[Mike]

I don't care if there's five of us or One of us.

[Lewis]

Nobody gets to shoot him.

[Mike]

Shoot. Okay, like.

[Lewis]

So the argument is there. There then is we. We make one female. Can't do the job. Right. But we're bad guys for saying that. Oh, they got a badge. They went through the training.

[Mike]

Oh, Mike says. Mike, I thought she had her taser. I didn't realize it was a gun because it does kind of make that.

[Lewis]

Oh, no. Okay. No, he shot. She shot him with a gun.

[Mike]

With a gun.

[Lewis]

I'm sorry. Okay. I apologize. That was a black first couple, if you remember at the beginning of the video. See the Christmas tree lights? That's the taser dots. So you got taser on his back. You have a female front.

[Pat Brosnan]

No.

[Lewis]

She pulls her gun and shoots him in the back.

[Mike]

Do you think it's better when a female does this? If what? Do you think prison sentence is less? Do you think it's better for her to go, I intentionally shot him with this gun in this instance, or to go, I mistakenly thought it was my taser?

[Lewis]

She's a black female. She's not gonna get in trouble. But that's my take on it.

[Mike]

I mean, you gotta figure out which one's worse.

[Lewis]

I don't know how she would have mistaked her taser because she had it out and it didn't work. So she put her. She dropped her. That was her taser that the guy brought back to the scene. She switched. She transitioned to her gun at some point. So waka flocka. Let's go walk. Let's go full waka flocka on this. If that was a black male and five white male cops, we would be burning this morning. The country would be burning to the ground.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Lewis]

Burning to the even.

[Mike]

Mail on male. Yes, Male suspects.

[Lewis]

Six, seven, black male, built like the biggest, strongest guy on earth. And six, five and five. Five. One white male cops. The city, the. The world would be burning right now. Everybody. That is five black females against a white male. I don't know if he's white, Hispanic, but white, lighter, regardless, pulled a gun out, shot him in the back for no justifiable reason. Not armed. Can see he's not armed. And it's just a meme. It's just a meme right now. It's a joke. It's a meme. And there's no news cover it. Very minor coverage in Miami News.

[Mike]

Jesse said he doesn't even think he hit her. She hit him.

[Lewis]

I talked to a guy who worked there that thinks that he did. She did. But if she didn't him, it's Even worse if that's the scenario. No, it is. It's worse because that bullet went somewhere else. He might have in a world of some skewed brain because there are guys going, I saw comments. Oh, he's coming at her. He can shoot him. She can shoot him. Even if the. Your brain's that warped, you think that, well, you got to hit him from three feet away. Then that was three feet. She missed. If she missed, it's worse. If she missed, it's worse for it makes my argument even better that you know. But that is going to be brushed over. There's really not much chatter about it. The original video was taken down because I screen recorded it. And when I put in my story, that's gone. But my screen recording some there I saw one news network kind of COVID it. But at the worst you have and let you know there's no. And let me just like the beginning of our episode said, maybe he killed 19 people. I didn't hear any headlines about 19 people dying. So resisting being drunk, belligerent, something in public, obviously that he's being told to leave. They have their tasers out when the video starts. It looks like some type of. But even if he. Even if he stabbed somebody 30 minutes ago and then got there and just stood there, you can't.

[Mike]

Doesn't.

[Lewis]

So regardless of what happened beforehand, at the worst, you see right there, he's resisting arrest. Misdemeanor resisting arrest.

[Mike]

I mean, again, even if he did charge at a female officer, you can't no shoot him.

[Lewis]

Zero.

[Mike]

I mean, I can't. Morally, ethically.

[Lewis]

Now, here's. There's some circumstances I think that we have to dive into. There was one video in California where a homeless guy, large homeless guy was coming out of female and he. He was over and over, sam, I'm going to kill you. And then she was backing up and backing up back and eventually she shot and killed.

[Mike]

It is what it is.

[Lewis]

You can't threaten to kill me on top of coming at me. I can see that you're bigger than me. I can see that the officer factors are very bad. I'm going to probably lose this altercation. You threatened to kill me, so you're probably meaning you're going to take my gun and kill me. You can. You can articulate all that. But in this scenario with that many cops, no threat, no direct threat of violence. Just looks like he's trying to get away because he just got tased shooting him is no way. No way. And the fact that it's Just here and we're talking about it and not national news is my other massive problem with it. Because if you're gonna on cops, you gotta on the five black females. I can't get a guy in custody and shoots him.

[Mike]

That could have killed him.

[Lewis]

That could have killed him or killed a bystander. Because if she missed, can you imagine

[Mike]

if a 2 year old took a stray?

[Lewis]

Yeah.

[Mike]

It'd be like nothing changed.

[Lewis]

Yep. So the fact that we're only talking about that here and it's not all over the national news is another indication of how the media skews the narrative and makes it whatever they want to make it.

[Mike]

Welcome new man in Christ 87. Welcome to the Goon. Thanks for subscribing. Join that green handle club with everybody. Thank you so much. But yeah, I mean, that's. Wyatt's gonna call in be a phone. He's gonna call your phone. So I'm gonna tell him to go ahead and. Go ahead and call.

[Lewis]

Yeah, just think about Sal's case versus that one and what. What might happen. Like if she doesn't get charged with like, attempted murder, then the whole system, bro.

[Mike]

She'll sue the agency. Remember when that one.

[Lewis]

The one did, the black female, sued

[Mike]

and got Miami, right?

[Lewis]

Yeah, she shot a dude in Miami on accident. Same scenario.

[Mike]

Yeah, she did. She win the lawsuit.

[Lewis]

She won her job back, I think. Or she did win some type of.

[Mike]

Can you imagine working with a woman who sued to get her job back?

[Lewis]

You had him on the show. No, I'm sorry. That was just a good promoter. No, I'm sorry. That was to get promoted.

[Mike]

It wasn't the same.

[Lewis]

Okay, never mind. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. Wyatt, Hello? Can you hear me?

[Mike]

Were you hit with an airstrike?

[Lewis]

Wyatt, can you hear me? Can't get him on that. I think he's in a bad area because he's trying to reach me on telegram, so it must be a rough. But. Yeah, I mean, that is a quite. Didn't you have another one?

[Mike]

I have one, but I. You have to go on Instagram to get it. You have to share the screen. I'm not squared away like Mike. I don't. I don't send Louis a bunch of videos.

[Lewis]

Some leafs I could do.

[Mike]

I don't know. Oh, you gotta go to the dms and then you gotta go. Yep, from me, this one is like a school up top. Not that one, but that one right there. This one is, I think, like at a school. Sounds like it's in Bum nowhere. But it's an AS. Seems like an SRO at A. a baseball game. And he wax is good. Just watch. I don't have any context on it either. Pause it real quick, Louis. I mean, he's got the guy hostage. This is like this whole video is ass backwards. He's like the bad guy.

[Lewis]

I don't know what.

[Mike]

He whacks him in the head with a D. He didn't do anything.

[Lewis]

You know what would help in this situation?

[Mike]

A female cop.

[Lewis]

Jiu Jitsu. Too soon. I don't know what. I've been through the academy. We all good or bad or indifferent. I don't know that you've ever. One cop has ever been trained to end up in that position.

[Mike]

Maybe in the hood.

[Lewis]

Maybe in the hood, if you got a guy in custody already cuffed, you

[Mike]

can't you try the shield for a mob. You have to release him or you have to turn your back and protect him. Your prisoner, your detainee. Even though this guy's not in Cubs, he's a detainee. The. Obviously the crowd's not coming after him. You can articulate that as a cop. So if you're worried about your safety, you have to release him and run.

[Lewis]

Unless he was being attacked by the crowd. Then you have to protect them.

[Mike]

Then you'd have to protect them if you get involved.

[Lewis]

But you can't use him as shield.

[Mike]

Mike sp living in 92 where if it's a shield in the hood.

[Lewis]

I was playing gta, man. I was like, it, dude. Hey, I'll kill him too.

[Mike]

Mike was like, dead Zel out there going to jail.

[Lewis]

Oh, man. So we have no context on that.

[Mike]

I can't find any. I know a lot of people are pissed about it, rightfully so. If that's a law enforcement officer, I really can't think of any scenario. Oh, you can finish playing it. Sorry. L. All right, stop it. You're gonna get rid of it. You know what sucks too, is imagine being a squared away cop and responding that call. You look at what you see. Doesn't look right. But if I walked in and I saw you going through that, I'm gonna be like, something's really up, and I'm not going. Like, you. How do you handle that?

[Lewis]

But you do. You know, the it factor. You look at this dude with the taser and you can look at him and go, I don't think I'm gonna believe anything he does say or represents. Because if it's nothing like, I heard something about he stepped on my foot. If it's something minor, if it's minor, if it's a battery, if that kid's not trying to kill people, there's no reason to end up in that situation. Just let him go. You go let him go. Let him be. And when all the people get here, we'll do a warrant form. We'll get them under arrest, we'll get them under control. Unless it's an absolute public safety mandatory issue, you have to protect lives. There's no reason for anybody to end up in that position.

[Mike]

All right. Justin texted me and said the context is actually in the description. During a high school baseball game at Phi D Academy in Marion County, South Carolina, a disturbance broke out involving a student from the opposing team. At some point during the game, tensions escalated through that. A school resource officer stepped in to intervene. As the officer attempted to control the situation, he made contact with the student and took him to the ground. During the struggle, the officer used a chokehold style restraint while trying to gain control. In the middle of that physical encounter, the officer struck the student in the side of the head of the taser. So we didn't see any of the takedown.

[Lewis]

So I'm back to where I stand. The fight's broken up. This kid's not violent. There's obviously parents people there. You're going hands on and creating a. Some type of hostage situation, and you bang the kid. I'd arrest that dude for battery. You can't hit the dude in the head.

[Wyatt]

Yeah.

[Lewis]

You can't do that.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's. I mean, imagine if he did that right in front of you.

[Lewis]

You have to break. I get the fight part. Like, you. Okay. You break to separate the fight. This kid's not actively trying to go get anything.

[Mike]

What do you do? What do you do? What do you do? If you're in.

[Nick]

You're.

[Mike]

You're a backup. You walk up and you're. Now you're telling the crowd to get back. And you see him do that. What do you do as another cop standing right next to him? Like, I want a rundown of what you're. How you're going to handle that.

[Lewis]

Well, he's an sro, so I don't like the guy already.

[Mike]

Yep.

[Lewis]

So I'm gonna be like, all right, what the. Is it. You're assessed that our problem is cops, and this is.

[Mike]

You're. But you're not telling me what you do in that scenario.

[Lewis]

It's hard.

[Mike]

I'm telling. That's why cop works, because he. It's very Easy.

[Lewis]

If that was a citizen, he'd be arrested, then he'd go right to jail.

[Mike]

But would you arrest him right in front of everybody?

[Lewis]

That's what I'm saying. You can't. No, but.

[Mike]

But then everybody turns on you because you're not arresting him.

[Lewis]

Yeah, that's. And that's an argument that Izzo makes and people make is like, cops get with Steve. Steve says it. We get away with things that normal people wouldn't get away with, because if you rolled up and that was the. The. The monitor. He's not a cop in any way. He's just the monitor of this field. He's a security guy for the field. And he banged some dude in the head with a taser, hold him hostage. You're gonna be like, hey, bro, sorry, man, you're going to jail right now. Like, I don't know, you go take down crazy, but you'd be like, hey, let's separate. Put the taser. Give me the Taser. Let's get all. And then by the end of that night, click, click, click. You're going to jail for battery. When he's a unit formed cop, it ain't gonna go like that. He might get in trouble later on down the road. I think that is a lot of people's argument is we don't hold each other the same level of accountability because, well, it's authority.

[Mike]

It's just like your parents. Your parents aren't supposed. There's ever. When is ever, ever your parents, when you were a kid, been right at the same time your parents. But as. As they raise you, they're not supposed to cut each other's legs out from under you. So if one parent's getting out a little. Little crazy, little yelly, you know, the other parent does try to calm them down, but doesn't discipline them or cut their feet out or take their authority way in front of the people. They're trying to.

[Lewis]

But we. But should we.

[Mike]

That is.

[Lewis]

See, we're going down. We're going down the rabbit hole. But does it.

[Mike]

It.

[Lewis]

Because we. What do we scream about? Good cops. We want good cops.

[Mike]

You just pulled a whole Ryan the Communist on me when I asked you how you would handle the situation.

[Lewis]

So the thing about law, okay, so if. If knowing what I know about life now, I would go up. I would. That cop would. He should be arrested. He should be arrested.

[Mike]

You still haven't told me what you would do. You got a crowd.

[Lewis]

Well, I'm going to interject. I'll be like, hey, dude, Put your taser away. Is this kid a threat like what happened or. The problem is you. First you got to deal with the cop, with the guy in a chokehold with the taser situation. So you have to diffuse that. I mean, my first priority would be diffusing that. I see something that doesn't look like it should be happening. I'm like, hey, bro.

[Mike]

But they're gonna think you're double teaming.

[Lewis]

That's why. That's why there is no right. That's what I'm trying to tell you is there is no right answer. Because the crowd's gonna be going, you're crooked too. You're not helping. You're taking his side, but you have to at least get the. You have to start diffusing it. So I'd be like, hey, bro, why don't we put the taser away. This kid doesn't look dangerous. Let's throw some handcuffs on them. Like, throw some handcuffs on them and get them secured to where you don't have to have them in the hostage chokehold and then start to assess what happened. I would go, if I was a patrol Debbie, I'd be like this, hey, Sarge, you got a problem over here, come handle it. Vern, school resource. Vern is out of control over here. Hitting people with tasers.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Lewis]

If I was a supervisor and I responded to that and somebody showed me that video and that is what we had at some point do what I do, we'd have to start holding them accountable immediately.

[Mike]

You know what I'd do? I would, I would exercise me being extension of the public, and I would immediately find someone in that crowd that's a leader, but someone that you could identify that's maybe coherent up here and not just anti police at any point and being like, hey, dude, I know what's going on. You take the, give me this kid. You guys go sit over there. I'm gonna handle this.

[Lewis]

I'm gonna be able to take this

[Mike]

cop, I'm gonna take this cop away. Because at this point, at this point, I don't necessarily have to tell the crowd, but this cop is more of a threat to anybody than anybody.

[Lewis]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So I'm gonna move.

[Lewis]

That's very good. I'm very proud of you. That's a very good answer.

[Mike]

I was a good cop.

[Lewis]

That's a very good answer. The immediate. And when you ask me that, it's tough because I'm trying to like walk the line of like the whole totality.

[Mike]

But you can call me Sergeant Hoover for the Rest.

[Lewis]

Let's put that in the hood. When I respond to calls in the hood where it was cool, CR Chaos. That's the first thing I did. I found somebody I knew in the crowd. Hey dog, I'm gonna make sure this is right. That dude's a rookie. Whatever, whatever. I gotta say it even if I'm lying. He's out of control. Reckless new guy. Let me deal with it. Get them over there. Take your, take your. The crowd, go over there and I'm gonna square this all up forever. That's kind of how I operated. So in this scenario it's the same thing. Find a reasonable person and go, hey, this looks bad. I don't know what I just got here. Let me deal with this. Let me get the kid out of the chokehold. Let me get the taser away. You take them over there and I will give you guys an update. Kind of like a disturbance scene. Like you go, that guy. So that's really what's in my head is that. But with being this thousand feet in the sky, look at all this now. I mean that dude needs. That dude might need to get arrested. Dude in uniform a hundred.

[Mike]

Oh God. The uniform thing's another thing. Yeah, sucks.

[Lewis]

But that's the argument from the public when. That's the Steve Lavender argument, although he's over the top. That is the argument is when do the self proclaimed heroes get held to the same standard as the citizens. We know citizens are going to act crazy, they're going to resist, they're going to throw tickets out the window. We expect that behavior, we expect to be above that. But when one of our people does not meet the expectations, what is it usually a 7 month IA investigation while they sit at home and then maybe, yeah, they get arrested a year and a half later. When John Q. Public doesn't get that same opportunity, he gets arrested immediately. And then what do we say? Take it to court, buddy, and you'll have your day in court. You figure it out.

[Mike]

Even if it's the next day, it's not in uniform. And that's just. To me it's so symbolic. Either bad or good, depending on what you want to see. If a, if a law enforcement member is arrested in their uniform, just like the FBI arrested Oscillo county sheriff, whatever his name is.

[Lewis]

Yeah.

[Mike]

They made it a point to go to his work and arrest him in uniform at the sheriff's office.

[Lewis]

And that's the. That's again, that. That's a double. They did that to a guy where I live, a guy Where I live. And they had this massive, long investigation. And I don't know all the facts, but I will tell you.

[Mike]

But we're going to talk about it.

[Lewis]

No, no. I don't know all the facts of the case. But what they did, his dad was a commissioner, and the. The sheriff's going at it with the commission over the budget. So the day before an unprecedented monster budget hearing, they announced the arrest of one of the commissioner sons. Just tactically. Just happened to happen. Yeah, an incident. An incident that happened six months ago. It was invested. We just happened to arrest him today. Before I go in front of you tomorrow. It was a big you. It was like a flex.

[Mike]

So bring Nick back in.

[Lewis]

So that's, you know, that's kind of what we do.

[Mike]

We. Unfortunately, we cannot get Wyatt in. He's.

[Lewis]

He's.

[Mike]

Can't get in. He can't call.

[Lewis]

He called when he's calling him. I'm getting no audio from him, so it's not working.

[Mike]

He says. He says, I'm calling, but no one's picking up.

[Lewis]

No, I'm answering and he can't hear me. Every time. I've answered, like three different times. There's no. There's nothing on the other end. So I give up.

[Mike]

Is Nick in?

[Lewis]

Nick's thing is there, but I want

[Mike]

to ask him how he. How he have handled this. Oh, there he is.

[Nick]

All right. So a little bit of confusion from Streamyard to Rumble. When you're coming in, it asks you to activate your mic and your camera two times. Where? Streamyard. You only do it once. So when you get into the lobby, you're. You're already good to go. So.

[Lewis]

Yeah, so this one's asking you a second time.

[Nick]

Second time, yeah. So that's why when you said, you know where I'm at, I was just used to hitting Streamyard and ready to come.

[Mike]

You also look like. Kind of like I was soap operas filmed, you know that, like, blurriness.

[Lewis]

You look like you steamed up the van with some activity.

[Nick]

Is that better? Better?

[Mike]

No.

[Lewis]

No. But you're good. It's good enough.

[Nick]

Whatever. Whatever. So I. I had that same exact thing happen to me. So my captain, who's a complete douchebag, I hated him, put out a thing on whatever street it's right around where Meek Mill used to live and sell drugs, like the 600 block or something. But he said this is a known house. If you see anybody there, lock them up right away. You know, we don't need a complaint, whatever, blah, blah, blah. So my partner Is so pissed off of me that day too. Driving up the block, I seen someone peeking out the door of that house that he said, I'm like it, dude, let's just go make this guy happy. We'll get a couple of rest. So we walk in there and there's like three or four dudes. I can't remember. The one guy, one little fat kid made ran to the back. I hear, go, a glass break right two right out the front door. So we caught one. I went back into the kitchen. I don't know how this fat kid did it, man, but it was like a two by two window all the way up, you know, but by the ceiling. And I don't know how in God's earth he jumped that high because he was a little short and fat. But he jumped through the window that was like near the ceiling. Still can't figure it out to this day. Scratching my head. So I come back, I got the guy on the couch and I hear some noise and I look up and there's about 10 to 12 people at the top of the steps with bats, tire iron coming down to whoop our asses. And I just, I don't know, dude. I put my gun to his. That dude's head and slammed him down to the couch. And I had it on his temple. And he's, he's gonna do it. He's gonna do it. And they told them to stay the back. We picked him up and walked our way out of the house, cuffed them up, then called for backup.

[Mike]

Are you serious?

[Nick]

Time everyone got there. Oh yeah, that they were gonna come down and whip our asses, dude.

[Mike]

Imagine if you did that in 2026.

[Lewis]

That's like a hostage.

[Mike]

You'd be in prison for life.

[Lewis]

Yeah, you took somebody, you took a hostage and threatened to kill him.

[Nick]

He was himself, man. He's gonna shoot me. Don't come down. Stay there, Stay there.

[Mike]

You know what?

[Nick]

You know what?

[Mike]

I always say this? I always say this. A good element of corrupt cops running around is like having bad bacteria in your body. You need it because when there's cops out there in these big agencies like Philly, NYPD, LAPD back in the 70s, 80s, 90s that were corrupt, it would kill you because they were criminals themselves. Like your old co host, for instance. Like these guys were bad dudes. And so when criminals were like, I don't know if this is a good cop that's not gonna kill me or a bad cop that's going to kill me, I'm just gonna Comply. Because I don't know what kind of cop this is.

[Lewis]

I'm telling you, that's called organized crime. No, we can't do that.

[Mike]

But it doesn't. It's like having a little bit.

[Lewis]

You have to word it a little differently. We need some gray line. We need some gray line. Gray line, gray area. Hard charging cops. We don't need crooked.

[Mike]

What did you at, bro? That guy Nick that said he's gonna do it, he's gonna do it. Do you think maybe that guy has been in a room with a uniformed officer that was probably willing to do something like that?

[Nick]

Yes, possibly. Someone said, hey, Slater. I feel like I'm exaggerating. Not. If anything, I'm under exaggerating. I didn't go into the full story really happened the exact way I said it did.

[Mike]

Is that guy still alive?

[Nick]

Probably not. He's probably dead. He was a junkie Feet.

[Mike]

Yeah, man, that makes me want to go watch all these old school cop movies. That's some.

[Lewis]

I don't know.

[Nick]

True story. My partner was really mad at me for it too.

[Lewis]

So it was on body cam. He would have been even better.

[Nick]

You would have been indicted for like two days.

[Mike]

You can't even shoot guys that are driving at you anymore. You can't put a gun.

[Lewis]

I don't think you keep anybody hostage anymore. I don't think. I don't think that would fly until

[Mike]

the good old days, man. What happened to him?

[Lewis]

I mean, I get like your ass, but a gun to the head.

[Nick]

No one got shot, nobody got hurt. Defuse. The situation worked.

[Lewis]

Yeah, something like that.

[Nick]

I used to pull people over for DUI and give them a choice. You can go to jail or go to home tonight, and then you can come get your car in the morning. And to make sure they didn't drive their car, I would pull the stems out of their tire.

[Mike]

Oh, I would throw their keys in the wood lines. That was something very, very young.

[Nick]

Thr keys on. I threw keys on top of roofs and in the.

[Mike]

Like that. Yeah, yeah. It. By the time they get their keys, whether Mike said just lock them in the trunk, by the time they access their keys or find them, they're sober. And you just, you know. But that's frowned upon nowadays.

[Lewis]

Very frowned upon. Well, and. And I will give you that there was a. That gray area you're talking about. I was having this conversation with my wife about, like, narcotics and informants. There has to be a gray area that's gone pretty much. You can't, like, operate in that Gray area of like, I'm not going to charge you with this cocaine. I'm going to put it in evidence. You're going to work, do four, five, six deals. We're going to get the bigger fish. We're going to move on. We'll be done with it. That version of policing has pretty much is gone. Because I was saying this, like, I'm getting contact now by more and more people, informants that are clean, and they're going, hey, you arrested me five years ago, ten years ago, whatever it was, you really helped me out. And I'm like, I used to have a lot of conversations with those people, and now I'm wondering if it would all be discoverable is, like, not. You know what I'm saying? Like, public record.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Lewis]

Because I'm using my phone, and we're talking about drug deals, we're talking about drug dealers. And a lot of those times, those people would just call because they wanted to vent to somebody. And in the midst of that venting, like, this guy's selling drugs. I would gather good intelligence and information that I would use later on. But I can see now where this stupid world of public record, where I disagree with some of it, would be like, well, you're talking to an informant, and you're in an official capacity, and all that should be documented. It's like, no, that's how you get information. Like, you learn from talking to people. So that that version of police work is gone. And where that helped is this whole. Where it all comes full circle, is having that person in the crowd that nobody else knows you talk to. That's like a drug dealer or like a bird in the community, but you're cool with them. And you can be like, hey, like, I'll tell everybody this. You're a snitch. If you don't get this crowd under control, like, get these people and get them gone.

[Mike]

And that.

[Lewis]

That worked for me a lot.

[Mike]

Really?

[Lewis]

I'd be. Yeah, I'd be like, hey, dude, like, let's go. I pull them aside. Or I. They'd be like, you gotta cuff me. So I'd cuff these dudes up, act like I was taking him to jail, brother. And then I'm like, all right, you'll get him out of here. Okay, I'm gonna uncuff you, and I want you to talk to me like, I'm a. And then he would walk. You cry, you ain't got nothing on me. Anyway, that's why he let me go. And that's. That would all happen in real time at a scene. And then he would eventually get the crowd to move and he would work. We would do those little things. Like, I had a lot of people.

[Mike]

That's policing, though.

[Lewis]

It's old school policing. That doesn't.

[Mike]

Old school policing is taking somebody hostage.

[Lewis]

I guess I hadn't seen that move. I guess that SRO brought back the old school, because I've never seen that move before.

[Mike]

He heard a guy named Nick from Philadelphia pd.

[Nick]

Those dudes were going to kill us.

[Mike]

Yeah. What about just letting that go?

[Nick]

It was a. It was a rough, rough house. I think it would have been a little bit of. A lot of thrown around, you know what I mean? We might have gotten to the door by the time they got down.

[Mike]

I see what you're saying. Okay.

[Lewis]

All right.

[Mike]

Well, you did what you had to do.

[Lewis]

Yeah, sometimes that's good.

[Mike]

All right, Nick, we gonna see you Thursday?

[Nick]

Yes, you will.

[Mike]

All right, bud. Thank you for. Thank you for jumping on. Thanks for covering for Wyatt. You always got good stories.

[Nick]

Yeah, I'm not in Ohio.

[Lewis]

Statute limitations has expired on that stuff. Right, right.

[Nick]

That was like 2003.

[Lewis]

Oh, yeah. You're good. You're good.

[Mike]

All right, we'll see you Thursday night.

[Nick]

See you guys. How the they get out of here?

[Lewis]

You know what's funny about him is, like, when he calls, he's like, very normal. This is a great. This is a great thing. Like, he'll be like, hey, man, I got a question. And it's like, I'm expecting, like, the. America.

[Mike]

Want me to tell you about communism?

[Lewis]

Yeah. And then he's like, what? What I guess what I'm saying is he's. He has a big heart. Like, he's very. He's a very good dude. He comes off like that brazen American. And he is. I mean, he. I believe he's everything he says he means, but he. He's a good dude.

[Mike]

Tomorrow we'll be discussing some future plans with some shows, stuff like that. Tomorrow's Patreon Tuesday. First hour will be just catching up with me and Mike doing some current events, doing a regular show thing. Second hour is Patreon only.

[Lewis]

We got a lot to talk about on Patreon. Yeah, Big changes. We'll let them kind of probably influence a little bit of that, too, what they think, but a lot of changes.

[Mike]

We're doing some. Some counterculture stuff and things like that. You guys. You guys will. It'll make sense.

[Lewis]

We didn't hit this at the beginning, but I'll hit at the end. Don't forget, the Justice X Conference is coming up. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th of April. I know some people are already attending, and it's gonna be a good time.

[Mike]

We're gonna be doing a live event Wednesday night.

[Lewis]

Yeah. Live event Wednesday night at a bar called the something something. Oh, Rowdy rooster. Rowdy rooster. Rowdy Rooster.

[Mike]

In.

[Lewis]

In if my memories, I got a pretty good man Cannon, South Carolina, I believe it's called right outside of Myrtle Beach. Myrtle beach boys are excited. I got another picture. They got the. The goat Jerry Worms on one of their lockers in the locker room. And.

[Mike]

Oh, so. So Myrtle Beach PD is gonna come show up.

[Lewis]

There's some guys. Yes, that'd be cool. Yeah, there's some of those guys that are out and about. They have big supporters of us and we appreciate them. So

[Mike]

that's it. That's the show, guys.

[Lewis]

We made it through Rumble.

[Mike]

I think what successful show, other the fact that Rumble, only three people watched the entire time. So we'll have to figure that out. But, you know, we'll. We'll work through it. It was a good show. Quality looked a little bit better, at least. I don't know if that's a studio thing.

[Lewis]

Yeah, no, no potato quality look good.

[Mike]

Yeah. Maybe Rumble's got something that we can. Maybe.

[Lewis]

Maybe.

[Mike]

All right, guys, we will see you tomorrow. 11 o' clock Eastern Standard Time. YouTube, Facebook X. And now Rumble. See you then. Sa. Team for life.
