Starting point is 00:08:11 the show. We have two more sponsors after this. One more sponsor, which is us.

That sounds horrible. Alpha is having his show people tonight.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Someone with the last name Gatling is the person. So I'm very interested in watching that. So I'll be watching it afterwards. But anyway, So first up for you guys, I'm going to read something to you guys first because I was going to play a video. But I feel like after all that delay and then playing the ad reads, I'll give you guys a little bit of a break from the videos for a second. Where did my mouse go?
Starting point is 00:08:54 A mouse disappeared. Oh, there we go. And let me pull this on the screen. So first up, it's a bit of a somber note, but it's also pretty positive because he lived a good life. It's a, we're going to talk about the passing of Lou Holtz yesterday. And, um, a fun thing that, that happened to me involving Lou Holtz was I was at UCF. Um, I think I was either coaching at the time or I just, I'm going to take myself off the screen for a second so you guys can see it full screen. But you'll be able to hear my voice.
Starting point is 00:09:27 But when I was at UCF near the end of my playing career, the beginning of my coaching career, which was only like a year or two, um, they were having a banquet for college coaches. I think it was college football coaches in our arena. And I was walking by to go, it's right next to the arena is right next to this place called Nitros, which is one of our two cafeterias on campus. And I was walking by and I saw like a, I guess a limousine, but like a chauffeur to SUV pull up. And an older gentleman got out. And I was like, that guy looks familiar. And it was Lou Holtz. And so I'm walking by and you know I'm just like oh that's so cool that's Lou Holtz and I'm not going to approach him or anything like that I just kind of looking at him excuse me and and he turns to
Starting point is 00:10:17 me let me pull this picture up full screen and he turns to me and I'll put myself on the screen for this one he turns to me and I know I'm going to butcher it but I'll just do it the best I can he goes hey doing fun good good good to meet you and he like shook my hand and it was so cool like he just he saw that I was looking at him like kind of not fan standing out, but I was just like, man, that's Sue Holtz. And he just, he turned and took a couple steps my way and he introduced himself to me. And that was so cool, man. And it just, it goes to show you the type of guy he is or was. And he will definitely be missed, but he raised a lot of young men to be, to be good human beings. I see somebody said, so Be Happy says, coach the game cocks.
Starting point is 00:11:06 So yeah, he coached the Gamecocks. He's most known for coaching Notre Dame. He won the 1988 national championship with them. I think it was their first one since, like, Roger Starbock was there in, like, the 50s or something like that. But I'm going to go ahead and read this post from President Donald J. Trump. So from the White House on X yesterday at 117 p.m. It's a quote from Donald Trump. And it says, Lou Holtz was an absolute winner, both on and off the field.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Not only did he spearhead Notre Dame's historic undefeated season. in 1988, he raised millions upon millions for struggling athletes or struggling student athletes and the amazing University of Notre Dame, go Irish. Rest in peace, Lou, because of patriots like you, we have made America great again, President Donald J. Trump. And I wanted that picture up there for a little bit, take myself off the screen to give him his flowers. I think he got a lot of flowers while he was alive, but I hope people continue to spread his
Starting point is 00:12:12 legacy throughout because he was not only a good man, but a great coach. And I have one more posts that has a little quote from him. And if I can find another one, I'll bring it up. But this one I know I have for sure. And so this one is from Ballis Syke on X. And it says, I follow this is a quote from Lou Holtz. I follow three rules. Do the right thing.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Do the best you can and always show people you care. And here's a picture of him at Notre Dame back in the 80s. And he had that smile his whole life, at least the years that I've seen him, from his coaching years to the years afterwards. And we lost a good one. But, you know, that happens. It's part of life. And I don't remember the exact age. I had it on the last post.
Starting point is 00:13:00 But he was a lot older. And he lived a good life and impacted a lot of people. So rest in peace, coach holts. And, man, I appreciate you giving me a moment. where I got to see the person that you were in person. So, yeah. So next up, we have our usual weekly posts from Eric Rice. I found a few of them that I liked, but hold on.
Starting point is 00:13:34 I'm going to read what Salish wrote real quick in the chat because I like this as soon as it populates. She says, Cam Cuxey, what a great tribute. My son, your age, so my age, met his favorite today, Chipper Jones. That's awesome. Your story reminded me. So Chipper Jones is another person. So he used to live in my, I had an AAU basketball teammate that lived in, I think it's Country Club of the South.
Starting point is 00:13:59 And that's where Chipper Jones and a lot of the Braves players live. And I think my buddy Daniel actually did some work in there. I think it was electrical work because he's an outdoor electrician. and and people have said the same thing about Tripper Jones now he does have a spicy side to him he uh he is an avid supporter of America America first and I saw I'm going back and forth with some people a few weeks back about America and Daniel says you are correct yep he definitely did some work there but um tripper Jones is an avid American patriot and he was going back and forth with some people complaining about, I think it was either President Trump or just, just us in
Starting point is 00:14:44 general, people that are fighting for our freedoms, conservatives. And, and he just went off on them, man. He laid into him. He dropped a few choice words and basically told him that if you're not for us, you're against us. And, uh, that was my mouse. And, uh, yeah, I love it, man. I love, I love seeing these people that have, um, prominent roles in society. And let's say prominent, I just mean that they're out there in the in the TV sphere, if you will, the celebrity sphere. They're not necessarily celebrities. People make them into celebrities. But I mean, if you have a voice like that, don't shy away from from your beliefs, your truths.
Starting point is 00:15:24 So I love it. And Salish says spicy friction can be good. Absolutely. Absolutely. So let me pull up Eric Rice post now. So Eric Rice. This is from March 2nd. He says, everything you are seeing and emotionally reacting to is a controlled psychological
Starting point is 00:15:46 operation. A technocracy is being built throughout the world, and the dialectic is the distraction and driving force. It must get darker to get you begging for the false light. We are moving from control through fear to control through comfort. A Rosicrucian New Atlantis, quote-unquote, utopia, is on the horizon, not World War III or a communist dystopia. control your emotions. They are your currency in this war. Spend them wisely and stay close to Christ.
Starting point is 00:16:13 And obviously the last part is the most important. Stay close to Christ. But I wanted to bring that up because I feel like we should be aware of what's going on in the world and not be duped because it is easy to be, it is easy to tell right from wrong. I forgot who said this. I might even said it last week and I was probably reading a post from from Eric, but it's easy to tell the difference between right and wrong, it's very difficult to tell the difference between right and almost right. And I think that we're getting a lot of people, especially on our side, that are coming out here and throwing sideways shaded Donald Trump or trying to, not trying to infiltrate the movement, they've already infiltrated it. But they're showing their true colors, but they're doing it in a way
Starting point is 00:16:55 that still has the red, white, and blue on their sleeve. And we just got to be aware of them, you know? So just wanted to put that out there. and I'm going to go ahead and jump into the video I was going to show you guys. So I don't know if you guys remember, but last night on Onlylands, hold on just a second, I just heard something. Never mind. Anyway, last night on Onlylands, we were talking about the whale that got exploded in Oregon. And I'm going to play this video on 1.25 speed, but I'm going to play the first two minutes of it. And so you guys can hear the news story what they thought was going to happen.
Starting point is 00:17:42 And then it'll show the actual explosion. So I hope you guys enjoyed this. It had to be said, the Oregon State Highway Division not only had a whale of a problem on its hands, it had a stinking whale of a problem. What to do with one 45-foot, eight-ton whale dead on arrival on the beach near Florence. It had been so long since a whale had washed up in Lane County, nobody could remember how to get rid of one. In selecting its battle plan, the highway division decided the carcass
Starting point is 00:18:18 couldn't be buried because it might soon be uncovered. It couldn't be cut up and then buried because nobody wanted to cut it up and it couldn't be burned. So dynamite it was some 20 cases or a half ton of it. The hope was that the long-dead Pacific gray whale would be almost disintegrated by the blast and that any small pieces still around after the explosion would be taken care of by seagulls and other scavengers. Indeed, the seagulls, had been standing nearby all day. As everything was being made ready, we asked George Thornton, a highway engineer in charge of the project, for his final observation.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Well, I'm confident that it'll work. The only thing is we're not sure just exactly how much explosives it'll take to disintegrate this thing so the scavengers, seagulls, and cramps and whatnot can clean it up. Is there any chance it might be more than a one-day job? If there's any large chunks left and we may have to do some other cleanup, possibly set another charge. The dynamite was buried primarily on the leeward side of the big mammal, so as most of the remains would be blown toward the sea. About 75 bystanders, most of them residents who had first found the whale to be an object of curiosity before they tired of its smell were moved back a quarter of a mile away. The sand dunes
Starting point is 00:19:16 there were covered with spectators and land lubber newsmen shortly to become land blubber newsmen with a blast blasted blubber beyond all believable bounds our cameras stopped rolling immediately after the blast the humor of the entire situation suddenly gave way to a run for survival as huge chunks of whale blubber fell everywhere all right that's enough everybody thought it was it was funny until there was whale blubber everywhere. Oh, man. That is a, for me, that is a good example of the difference between right and almost right, because they were almost right, but in the end, a la cablam. That's what happened in the end. And yes, R.C. Joan, nasty. Oh, man. Oh, okay. So I've gathered myself. So I actually, I saved the video last.
Starting point is 00:20:40 night because I went searching for it but I didn't want to watch it during the show. And I played it probably like 10 minutes before I started the show and I could not stop laughing. It was so funny. But anyway, so that was just a little humor. And yeah, ridiculous. So let's keep moving. So next up, I'm going to go ahead. So I know a lot of people don't have true social.
Starting point is 00:21:04 I know more of us have it than most people, but I'm going to read a couple posts from Donald Trump on true social. And my guess is if there's, well, actually, no, because they're, they're, they recorded DPAs for tonight. So they probably won't be talking about anything from today. So I will pull up these two posts. And if you guys want to talk about it, we can. But I just thought that this first one about Iran was, um, was basically just Donald Trump letting us know where he believes we're at, we're not believes we're at where he wants us to know we're at in the, in the war or the, the military operation. And then the second one is, uh, just throwing some shade at the, uh, the UK. So first up is this post and it is from today at 6.11 a.m. Donald Trump on truth
Starting point is 00:21:54 social says Iran, which is being beat to hell, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless US and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost in thousands of years to surrounding Middle East countries. Middle Eastern countries. They have said, thank you, President Trump. I have said, you're welcome. Iran is no longer the bully of the Middle East.
Starting point is 00:22:24 They are instead the losers of the Middle East and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse. Today, Iran will be hit very hard. Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death because of Iran's bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump. So things are getting a little spicy over there, guys. I'm keeping an eye on it. That post right there.
Starting point is 00:22:58 That one receives the 48 to 72 hour rule. But yeah, his rhetoric is at least not playing around. He's definitely got Fafo rhetoric right now. Do you want outside cat? It's storming. We're going to stay in here. Kat's over here. It's lightning and stuff.
Starting point is 00:23:17 She gets a little antsy. But let me bring up the next post. The second post is from today as well at 405 p.m. Hold on. It says EC was here says, I'm betting the war will be over because the UK's one frigate task force sets sale. So it's funny you say that because that's a perfect lead into what I'm bringing up next. So from today, Donald Trump on.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Truth Social at 4.05 p.m. said, the United Kingdom, our once great ally, maybe the greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That's okay, Prime Minister Starmor. We don't need them any longer, but we will remember. I love that part, but we will remember, we don't need people that join wars after we've already won, President Donald J. Trump. And I love that he said, our once great ally, maybe the greatest of them all. Because what he's implying there, in my opinion, is that the way the UK is acting, they're no longer our ally. And I think that is a shot across the ballot to every other country that was considered our ally up until he came into office or up until now that doesn't want to
Starting point is 00:24:29 pull their weight. And from my personal opinion, this is only me, I think that it's talking to countries like Israel. I know that a lot of you guys saw the sit rep episode with the J.B. on on Thursday. And CanCon and Alpha, we're talking about what have they done for us? What have they done to truly be our greatest ally? And I sometimes I think he's talking to multiple audiences at once. And if you really think about it, who helps start Israel? The nation state in 1947, the UK, people in the UK, bankers. But anyway, Eleanor 2000 good to see you Eleanor she says BB's new substack is great too Donald Trump in the path of the torpedo in a world of shadows and stories when is a war not a war so she she says it's pretty good I would check it out you might want to turn on the there's I think there's a thing where they can they'll read it to you it's obviously going to be a long article but um But yeah, BB stuff is worth the read.
Starting point is 00:25:39 But I know some of us, it's not necessarily that we don't have the best attention span. It's that he likes to use $10 words. You can use the $1 word. I like it, but I know it's not for everybody. But still, I would check it out. So that's it for true social. Let's see. What do we want to do next?
Starting point is 00:25:57 Let's go back to X. Oh, and so Jackie pointed out to me that I can play videos on YouTube that don't have like sound copyright. For some reason, I always thought it was like all YouTube videos I couldn't play. So that whale one should be fine. But I'm going to do two of the Americans of the Week or historic Americans of the Week a little bit later. And what I'll do is I'll remind YouTube that I'm going to cut you guys off. We'll probably do that one around an hour in. And then we'll start kind of wrapping up the show.
Starting point is 00:26:32 DDE Novela says, Bibi is hard to follow. Yeah, but the one thing about Bibi is he's hard to follow, but for me, it's helped step up my vocabulary. It also forces you to be patient if you want to understand what he's saying. And I get if you don't have time to do that, I know a lot of people are very busy, but there are plenty of times where instead of scrolling, I could be reading an article. And if I want to read one of Bibi's articles, I have to put down the social media and turn off the movies and the TV shows and stuff and take some time to read it. So it's, it's a It's a good precursor to getting back into reading books if you haven't read a long book in a while from personal experience.
Starting point is 00:27:14 So let's see on, oh, here's something that's local news to the Georgia area. And I think something actually happened with this. I'll have to check later. And maybe I'll post something on my, on my ex page. But Al Horford, who was a basketball, or yeah, former basketball player of the Atlanta Hawks. he put out a post that says well said Luke and it's it's actually a letter from Luke cornet who is on the Atlanta Hawks I believe right now honestly I don't really follow the NBA anymore but but I do feel like this story is somewhat important because it's a culture
Starting point is 00:27:56 story but it's something that not only affects our area in Georgia but it affects I guess all the United States and technically candidate too because there's a team up in Toronto. But people are still pushing back. Even NBA players are pushing back on, I wouldn't even consider this wokeness. This is more just like degeneracy. And I know this is something that Ghost and I talked about when I was on Book of Trump. And I know plenty of people have talked about it on this show. Daniel says, 15, let's go.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Horford. That was his number here, obviously. So he's from the DR. Dominican Republic. And he played college at the University of Florida. And he's been in the States ever since. But he's a, I don't want to speak for him, but I'm pretty sure he's a devout Christian. I know that he's spoken about it before.
Starting point is 00:28:46 But some people just aren't okay with anything that they feel connected to. So for him, he's part of the fraternity of NBA players. And they're not okay with the direction the NBA is going. Now, I wish they would have spoken up on some other. issues but this is one that I think is pretty important so let me pull this up and I'm gonna make it full screen so like I said Al Horford said well said Luke then I'll read this to you guys this week the Atlanta Hawks announced a special one-night collaboration to celebrate the city's iconic cultural institution magic city this
Starting point is 00:29:21 is in that that was in quotes because he's quoting them he doesn't actually believe that it's iconic during the team's home game against Orlando on Monday March 16th. In its press release, the Hawks failed to acknowledge that this place is, as a business itself, both Atlanta's premier strip club. Given this fact, I would like to respectfully ask that the Atlanta Hawks canceled this promotion night with Magic City. So I'm going to stop right there and say that for anyone that didn't get that, the Atlanta Hawks decided that they were going to have a, hold on, the cat wants out. All right, I'm back. The Atlanta Hawks were doing a, a promotion with uh obviously because they're playing the Orlando magic they thought it was clever
Starting point is 00:30:19 and that people wouldn't pay attention to it but magic city is a strip club it's known for i'll put myself on the screen for this part it's known for like um the place where rappers go when they come to Atlanta and just just it's just a degenerate place i mean it's a strip club what do you expect but it's it's known as like a strip club that people go and they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a night like some of the biggest celebrities in the in the world come there and it's um Honestly, I understand that this is America and people can do what they want as long as it's legal. And technically, the place is legal. You have to be 18 to be there.
Starting point is 00:30:55 There's laws and all this stuff that allow it. Doesn't mean it's okay. But yeah, I mean, I get it. But the thing is promoting it at a sporting event where children go to. That's nasty. To me, that's akin to having a drag queens and kings or whatever the fuck they call themselves going to elementary. schools and putting those nasty books in the school. But anyway, let me continue to read. The NBA should desire to protect and esteem women, many of whom work diligently every day to make
Starting point is 00:31:25 this the best basketball league in the world. We should promote an atmosphere that is protective and respectful of the daughters, wives, sisters, mothers, and partners that we know and love. Allowing this night to go forward without protests would reflect poorly on us as an NBA community, specifically in being complicit in the potential objectification and mistreatment of women in our society. Regardless of how a woman finds her way into the adult entertainment industry, many in this space experience abuse, harassment, and violence to which they should never be subjected. I'd like to encourage the league, its owners, employees, and fans to hold the Atlanta Hawks to a higher standard of what they find worthy of promoting. I and others throughout the league were surprised by and object to the Hawks decision. We desire to provide an environment or fans of all ages can safely come and enjoy the game of basketball
Starting point is 00:32:19 and where we can celebrate the history and culture of communities in good conscience. The celebration of a strip club is not conduct aligned with that vision. Please join me in petitioning the Atlanta Hawks to cancel this promotion so as to ensure that the NBA remains a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment for everyone involved. Luke Cornet. And hats off to Luke Cornett. I love that that he did that. That takes a lot of balls, man, because, you know, these leagues, they can blacklist
Starting point is 00:32:50 you real quick. We have a young man. I say young man. He's about my age, but we have a young man up in Minnesota. I know a lot of you guys might know who he is, but Royce White, who actually plays in the Big three league, Ice Cube's League, with one of mine Daniel's buddies from high school, Glenn Rice Jr. And they're on the same team, which is pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:33:13 By the way, Daniel, if you didn't know that, that's pretty cool. But he is, I think he's running for Senate this time around. He might be running for House. He ran for Senate. He ran for one and lost to Ilhan Omar. Well, not lost, but she was selected over him. And also, the GOP establishment up there tried to primary him out. And I don't think they were able to do it.
Starting point is 00:33:35 They might have been able to do it the second time because he's run twice. And yeah, via ladder. Yeah, thea ladder or the a later says Royce is great. Yeah, Royce, there's a couple of people that Royce, not supports, but like, there's a few people that we don't see eye to eye with in the conservative movement that Royce White is. not supports, but he speaks highly of. And that's, that's okay. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Starting point is 00:34:07 But he is extremely close with, with Steve Bannon and Maureen Bannon. I believe that's his daughter. They're like family friends. And the first time I ever saw him was on Bannon show War Room. This was like three or four years ago. But anyway, no, Daniel, Glenn is not running for house. I would make some foul jokes, but, you know,
Starting point is 00:34:29 I haven't talked to him in a while. I don't know how he would take it. But anyway, yes, R.C. Jones said elections are fraudulent. Exactly. And that was one of the things that he pointed out. And that's why I still, I'm not up in Minnesota, but I still follow the things that he talks about.
Starting point is 00:34:46 I don't necessarily follow him. I don't follow anybody except for Jesus Christ. But I like what he says a lot of times because he's one person that's never straight away from the fact that elections are fraudulent. And he also knows because he's been a part of it. He put he put himself out there to run for office and he, uh, and he saw firsthand how the GOP was working with the,
Starting point is 00:35:08 the DNC up there to keep people like him out, America first candidates. Um, but anyway, so, uh, Royce white though, he was one of the first players in the NBA to, so he, I'll give you a little back story on him from what I know.
Starting point is 00:35:24 He has like a serious fear of flying. And when I say fear, I mean like he has anxiety attacks. panic attacks stuff like that but he was dealing with mental health issues around i think it was like 2010 is and um they wouldn't let him like when they fly to games he would he would he said he was willing to pay for his own travel whether he was he had to like get a driver or drive himself and um and teams were saying no you have to go on the flight with us and then on top of that they um they were trying to get him to take all these prescription drugs and um and all these other things and he was just like
Starting point is 00:35:57 no, I'm not going to do those things. They're terrible for my health. And so they basically blackballed him and kicked him out of the league. And then he went over and played over in, I think he played in China for a little bit. And I don't know if you've ever seen pictures, but he used to during the big three league, he definitely did it. But he was talking about the Uyghur Muslims that were being basically genocided out in China when no one was talking about it.
Starting point is 00:36:17 And I know people have different takes on, on Islam in our country because we are dealing with a different type. We're dealing with radical Islam and things that I don't even consider truly. Islam but just hate movements and and he's one of those people that was never afraid to speak out about it and so I give him kudos for that because he hasn't backed down and new case says yep he said he meant Royce but Joyce he says Joyce white but Royce white is super base yeah and um and one of the shows that he does on Fridays I think it's like every few weeks on a Friday he has a show called um it's I think it's Hebrews it's him and a um a he's the
Starting point is 00:36:57 This guy is Ukrainian Jew, who is a conservative, who is, from what I get, is completely against, not completely against, but he is very, very critical of the Jewish elites in this country, the academics, the media. Professor Penn is his name. And he and Royce just talk about how, in their own way, they talk about the controlled opposition. And so there are plenty of people out there, guys, that either think similarly to us or almost the same as us. So just go out there looking for, man. You can bet people over time. I know it takes some time to listen to new people. It's hard to break away from just the Badlands community because whenever we do, you always end up finding a shill here or a shell there.
Starting point is 00:37:46 But there's some people out there that are still speaking the truth. But the reason I brought it up is because in 2010 and through the 2010s, He was talking about mental health in the NBA and how these players are basically just being like brainwashed and manipulated into just following this agenda, walk in the line or else their paychecks get cut, all this stuff. And that's why the people like, he's not a fan of LeBron James. I would argue he hates LeBron James, like hates him. And he's also, he's like the same size as LeBron too. Like he's a type of guy that would shut down LeBron in a basketball game. Like literally shut him down.
Starting point is 00:38:22 Nothing LeBron can do around him is going to, it's going to, nothing that. LeBron can't do anything to him that he can't do to LeBron is what I'm trying to say. But they keep people like this out of the league. That's why you see people like LeBron James dominating from time to time. Obviously, he's older now. But like, there are plenty of players that are good enough to play in the NBA that would be ballers in the NBA. That they're just too based for the NBA. So we got to support these type of people, maybe not in the sport, but in their daily lives.
Starting point is 00:38:49 But anyway, he's a person similar to Luke Cornet who stood up for his morals. and he got blacklisted. And I just love that he's out there still fighting for the causes, man, that he believes in. I can't burn the troll, R.C. Joan, but somebody else will eventually get it. I'm not going to lie, something that said it's funny. But yeah, eventually they'll go away. I'm sorry that you guys have to deal with that. I don't have the powers to do it.
Starting point is 00:39:20 If there's any mods in the chat, you can go ahead and kick the person out. You probably know who it is. It's pretty easy to spot. But I'll keep it going. We won't let people trying to take us off course. We won't let them succeed. But shout out to Al Horford for pointing that out. Shout out to Luke Cornett for actually having the balls to say it.
Starting point is 00:39:41 And shout out to Royce White for staying in the fight. All right, let's keep it moving, y'all. That was a nice little diatribe that I went on. This one is kind of similar. And I haven't, I betted it enough to know that it's true, but I haven't really followed up on this one. I know you guys, none of you guys care about soccer, especially soccer from overseas.
Starting point is 00:40:00 And I say none, I mean most. But this is my favorite player on my team, my favorite team, Liverpool. Cody Gakpo. And I'll just pull this post up. So it says, actually, I like doing it this way better. So you see that shirt. He wore that. He's worn it multiple times,
Starting point is 00:40:19 but the first time I saw it was around the time we won the league last year. He scored a goal and ripped his shirt off and he had that on there. And then a bunch of other guys got the shirts too. But it says, for people that can't really see it, it says, I belong to Jesus. And he wears that shirt and other types of shirts like that under his jersey all the time. So when he scores, he'll take it off and show it off. So it says, Christian Premier League footballer, Cody Gagpo got publicly reprimanded by the FAA and Premier League for revealing a vest written, I belong to Jesus after scoring a goal for breaking the rules on religious expression, right?
Starting point is 00:40:51 This is the kicker. Yet billboards are displayed messaging about. the Islamic faith and games are being stopped for fasting breaks. This is not equality. Now, they're in the UK. So I wouldn't even pretend. Oh, actually, I kind of want to keep that up there. I wouldn't even pretend to say that they have true rights over there in UK. But I will say that this is important because it's one of our Christian brothers and not even Christian brothers. I mean, he is our Christian brother, but he's a follower of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. and he's being persecuted by a league that um and i don't know if you guys have well some of you might
Starting point is 00:41:26 know but he uh he's had a bit of a dip in form he's not playing the best but he's still he's still contributing to the team but it's weird how he gets knocked way more than some other players um and i think a lot of it is because he's so outspoken so i'm just keeping that keeping this up here not keeping this up here i'm just bringing this to light because we are fighting a multifaceted uh war against God and our faith and our beliefs. So never back down, guys. We got to not only do we need to support these people that are sticking up for our beliefs, but I like to highlight when they do it no matter what.
Starting point is 00:42:10 And I think it's a beautiful thing. All right. How's the chat doing? I see you guys are still being trolled a little bit. That's annoying. Jackie's not in here. I will, let me play a video real quick. And what I'll do is I'll play this video.
Starting point is 00:42:27 And while I'm playing the video, I'll send a text out and see if somebody can, can come get the person out of the chat. But anyway, so this is just something that's like, I actually have two videos that I can play. So the first one is, um, is from dudes posting their ws. And, um, this is a bit of a switch up, but it's, it's pretty cool. So let me pull this on. the screen all right so this says this farmer you can't really see this this farmer risked his life to stop a wildfire that broke out in his hayfield he mowed a fire break that held the flames at bay long and at bay long enough for firefighters to arrive and save the field and obviously he was protecting his
Starting point is 00:43:16 own land as well but this could have spread pretty far i don't know how recent this was but it was just something that i thought was fascinating and um i like to highlight people that uh that do things that that stand out to me. So here we go. That's awesome. Yeah. I just think it's interesting that like people will be crazy things will happen right just all of a sudden and you just have to jump into action. And this next video is a is very similar but this one's even more impactful. And this one is crazy. So thank you whoever the moderator was. I just sent it by the way. Thank you chat first of all let me let me need this thank you guys in the chat for uh for pointing it out to me i appreciate it um and then whoever's the moderator that came in i really appreciate you too uh it honestly
Starting point is 00:45:17 this stuff does not faze me i've i've dealt with stuff like that in my actual life jessica says i'll pull it up on the screen jessica said uh sorry i was away i'm such a slacker no you're not a slacker you have a life you're busy doing stuff um but no i i love you guys and i appreciate you guys because when i'm focused on the show i i look over at the chat and like i'll see something here or there and so it doesn't really add up but when you guys said it i started noticing like it was just over and over and over again and that does get annoying especially when you guys are trying to have real conversations and um it's it's not fair to you guys it's not fair to us um and it's it's completely against what we're we're here for you know we're we're
Starting point is 00:45:59 We're, we will fight when we need to fight, but we're here to spread, um, God's love and God's truth and God's word. So thank you guys. I appreciate it. And perfect. Um, Nati said, the enemy is a liar and will be destroyed completely. Absolutely. There is time for the enemy to, to dance around and have their little moments, but they never
Starting point is 00:46:19 went in the end. ZBM says, I live up in hay and wheat fields. And this is common for farmers to do because they don't have time to wait for the fire department. See, that's the thing about our farm. farmers, man. And whenever Trump talks about our farmers, I come from a family of farmers. I don't know if anybody still has farmland, but I know like my grandfather, he was a sharecropper. Well, sorry, my great grandfather was a sharecropper. My great great grandfather was a slave that got his freedom. And then my great grandfather became a sharecropper. Well, I guess his dad became a sharecropper first. And he became a sharecropper. And then my grandfather grew up sharecropping. And I remember that he wasn't able to go to school after third grade because won his race and two because he had to work. So I understand like the I don't understand firsthand, but I understand from my family what they have to go through. And these are some of the toughest SOBs, men and women and the children in our country.
Starting point is 00:47:21 They're the backbone of our country. Like in a country this big, if you don't have farmers that are reliable and that are intelligent, your whole. society dies out. And that's why China has been buying up farmland, which is being, I believe it's being reversed. I don't know how well it's going. But that's why the farmers are so important. It's not just about the price of food at grocery stores. It's way more than that. So shout out to our farmers out there. And yep, Daniel said it. Farmers keep us going. Absolutely. Yep, Polaris Park. They all ended up as sharecroppers. Absolutely. And that's the reason why, like, man it's it's just so important
Starting point is 00:48:00 easy ones here i have all the same qualifications to farm as bill gates yeah i thought well you probably have more because you're not out here trying to poison people um but anyway let me get to this next video it's uh it's it's it's more city folk but um it's it's very very heroic and um this is this this is something that uh i'm not going to lie i have thought about this on the road like what would i do in this And I just can't believe that this actually happened. I know it happens all the time, but I can't believe it actually happened. And I mean, I think this guy acted pretty quickly.
Starting point is 00:48:36 So this is from David J. Harris on X. And it says, I'm trying to pause this video. Let me pull it up. Oops. All right. Hold on a second. And it says, a San Antonio man sacrificed his own truck. By the way, when he says sacrifice his own truck, it's
Starting point is 00:49:01 not going to be there's nothing too graphic because at first when I saw this I was like oh man this is going to be a bad collision but it's nothing too graphic but there's definitely a lot of damage to the truck but anyway a San Antonio man sacrificed his own truck to stop a runaway vehicle after the driver passed out from a medical emergency he saved the man's life and likely many others absolute hero if you guys remember last week I um I played a video of wait was it a video hold on a second I'm trying to I just blank out on the video oh yeah So I played a video of a of a guy that or I read an article and there was a guy that was in a self-driving car and said that the self-driving car pulled over to the side of the road when he had a medical emergency. And this one is way more terrifying.
Starting point is 00:49:49 So I don't know if this gives you guys a different take on the on the self-driving cars. But either way, this is a this is something that only a human can do in my opinion. So it's from San Antonio, Texas on the 5th of March, so a few days ago, a couple days ago. Take myself off the screen and play it. Not be by the same tomorrow. Stop him. What are we going to do? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:50:35 What are we going to do? Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. He's going to hit us. He's there asleep, Renee. Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:50:41 Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Oh, God. Oh, my God. Oh, God. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Oh, my God. Oh, my God. call 9-1-1 so yeah you guys saw that um that that would that would be terrifying that would be terrifying so i'm just glad everyone's okay um but yeah when i i watched it like two or three times and when i first saw the car i'll even i'll pull it up again just for for people to watch again i'll turn the sound off so i'll so at first i was just like all right so this guys obviously something's going on. I don't know if he's having a seizure, whatever. It was this point right here and this dude hits the wall. That's when I was like,
Starting point is 00:51:36 that's terrifying. Because I've seen people get into accidents on the road, but like I've never seen one. I've never seen one that bad. And that wasn't even an accident yet. He just hit the wall. But like, I've seen people swerve off the road because he fell asleep, whatever. But he like was a he bumper card off the same. side of that road. And it was still going. Like, they're trying to catch up to the guy to slow him down. I mean, wow. Wow. Shout out to that guy.
Starting point is 00:52:08 EC was here. No trolls were harmed in the making of that video. I hope not. And R.C. Joan. Yep. Oppressive driving. Daniel. That's why you carry. So I, yes, except for the fact that if the guy has a medical emergency, I don't think carrying would be oh I get no I was going to say tires but now you don't want to try to shoot out some of his tires I can make more of a problem but yes silas great driver yeah that was and the other thing is he I'm assuming that's his wife or his girlfriend in the car like that's a tough decision to make because you don't you don't want her to get hurt you don't want obviously you don't want yourself to get
Starting point is 00:52:44 hurt but um and yes flying storm he was lucky there was a wall yeah because if that was on a wall that car is flipping over tons of times and foot's still going to be on the accelerator Um, but yeah, it's, that's a split second decision. And the reason I bring up these videos, especially those last two is because we may not have as serious of situations in our lives, but, um, every moment of your life, you don't know what's going to happen next. Always be on alert, especially when you're on the road, especially when you're out in public, when you're out and if you're a farmer out in the field, um, just keep your head
Starting point is 00:53:20 on the swivel guys. Keep your head on a swivel. And so shout out to those people for that. It was beautiful. Let's see. Oh, we're almost at an hour. You've got to start moving along a little bit. So this one is, this is.
Starting point is 00:53:36 So when I first saw this, I was like, oh, this is going to be sad because I saw the picture. But this is beautiful. This is awesome. Let me, let me pull this, this American hero, this Georgia Patriot up on the screen real quick. His name is Bain. Why did you say Bain?
Starting point is 00:53:57 Bain? That doesn't sound like a typical name of a hero. You know, Dark Night Rises. Bain seems like he would be a villain. But Bain may be a villain, but Bain's only a villain to real villains. So enough of playing along with that. This is, I'm taking myself up to screen for this one because Bain deserves the entire screen for this. So this is Bain right here.
Starting point is 00:54:22 I hope you guys got your Ayes out because Bain Bain is still with us. Bain is living a good life right now. So this is from everything, Georgia on X. Brookhaven Police K-9, Bain is retiring after seven years of service, helping make 98 arrests and seize over 12 million in narcotics and $3 million in cash. He has been a loyal and brave partner to the department. And Brookhaven's pretty close to us, but I just wanted to shout out Bain.
Starting point is 00:54:53 The goodness of boys. Look at that beautiful, that beautiful dog right there. Um, he served his community well for seven years. Now he gets to go home, hang out, get fat if he wants to, well, not too fat because you know it's not good for dogs to get too fat, but he gets to go home, have all his, his, uh, his good food. I hope they gave him the nicest raw steak possible for his retirement. And, uh, I wish I could have found a video of him.
Starting point is 00:55:25 Um, if you guys want to go searching for him, uh, Bain, the canine from Brookhaven Police Department. So shout out to Bain. May you enjoy your hopefully many, many years in retirement. And yeah, just, oh, man, I saw this picture and I was like, what a beautiful dog. And then I read the caption. And I was just like, no way. That's right by me.
Starting point is 00:55:48 So shout out to Bain. And yes. Oh, let me bring him back up on the screen. And Matt VK says, thanks for your service. Absolutely. And that's the most beautiful thing about this community is we celebrate all of our heroes. We celebrate the heroes that are farmers that save other people from wildfires and their own property. We celebrate men and women on the road that see somebody in trouble and help save them while also saving other people on the road.
Starting point is 00:56:20 And then we have our men and women in uniform who, I mean, they sign up to be heroes. They, some of them may question it beforehand, but once they get in there, they're in it, man. They're in it to win it. I guess this is the best way to say it. And speaking of those heroes, I don't actually have a hero on the screen, but I have something beautiful that is done to, I guess it is definitely to honor them, but more so to just make sure that we can all stop and appreciate them. Sorry, this sounds started playing in my ear. So this is from baseball quotes on X.
Starting point is 00:57:07 And it says, I'm going to do this again. Every day at 7 p.m. Taps is played over the loudspeaker at Dallas National Cemetery, just beyond the outfield wall at DBU. I'm not sure what DBU is. I'm pretty sure it's the school. During every game day at seven, they pause to honor the fallen troops buried just beyond the wall, one of the best traditions in sports.
Starting point is 00:57:32 And this is another reason, everything that I just showed you guys, plus this, everything but the whale, basically, is actually no, even the whale. This is why I love this country.
Starting point is 00:57:41 We can have silly stuff like trying to blow up a whale and it being a big old mess to beautiful moments like this. 7 o'clock here in Dallas. We'll pause. It is the playing of taps here at Horner Ballpark, the DFW National Cemetery, be out beyond the center field wall. Yes, real quick, before they start playing it. I think it is Dallas Baptist University.
Starting point is 00:58:05 Thank you, EC was here. So we'll hear this and watch this. Here in Dallas, Texas. 7 o'clock sharp every night. The DFW National Cemetery is we are the great men and women who have served our country and sacrificed their life. and the game stops down and everyone rises. I love it.
Starting point is 00:59:09 Absolutely love it. And as you guys can see, it's the bottom of the second, two out, runner on second. Oh, man, look at all those twos. So I'll give you guys my little, thank you, Harry Patriot. Yes, Dallas Baptist. Both you and EC was here, got that. And Redneck Renegade O3 says, my sister lives just a few miles from this park. This is legit, true and real.
Starting point is 00:59:35 That's awesome. And I'm glad I love when that happens, by the way, guys, if I'm ever playing a video and you know it's true or if you know that I'm playing a video that's fake news, let me know because I want it to be the truth or I want the truth to be out there no matter if I'm wrong or not. I really don't care about being wrong. I've been wrong a lot in my life and I'm going to be wrong a lot more. The only way I can be right is by learning what's right.
Starting point is 00:59:55 So thank you very much. But yeah, it's a, it's two, bottom of the second, two outs. or on second, two two count. And for me, I'm not into like the whole numerology thing or whatever, but when it comes to twos, I've always felt like twos are just reminders that we're not alone. There's only one, there's only one God. That's the oneness of everything. But branching out from God as God built out the rest of us, the rest of the world, the next was two.
Starting point is 01:00:33 He made something else. And whenever there's twos all over the place, I feel like it's a reminder that we're never alone. Even when you feel like you're the only one around, you're the only one that cares. You're not. There's another person out there somewhere. You may not have met them. You may never meet them. But there's always someone out there.
Starting point is 01:00:50 And there's not a human being out there. There's always God. So I love that that was the clip that popped up in my feed. Jamatra Cam Jamotria Cameron Thank you Miss Real Freedom Fighter Jamotria is For me, Jamotria is
Starting point is 01:01:11 relevant because that's what people use to talk in secret codes. It's not some like some super No, I don't think it's I don't think it's some super code of the universe. I think that. And if it is,
Starting point is 01:01:29 is that's up to god and i'm not going to i'm not going to put that on god because i don't know so anyway um pin w says my b day is 22 mine is 2 2 2 2 groundhog's day and rc jones says minus 2 1 or 221 or 221 still some 2s love it amen always god yes cc he may always god um so let's keep it moving let's see we're at the hour and four mark we're gonna I might have to cut a couple of things out because I want to make sure we get to our americans of the week but um so far this has been pretty beautiful I'm not saying that this show is like great or anything like that but these moments that I've seen are pretty beautiful um oh this one was very interesting to me so so um and we know on X um I believe he was on alpha show at one point but um he posted this on X and I thought this was beautiful so this says it says breaking but this was from march 6th around 4 o'clock p.m. our time so over in london that's what five hours ahead that'd be around 9 p.m. their time so let me pull this up on the screen it says breaking iranians in london gather outside the u.s embassy to honor american troops who gave their lives they even sang the national anthem a deeply respectful moment pray for our troops
Starting point is 01:03:06 And I love that because there are people in almost every country, if not every country, that are God-fearing patriots of their country. And they respect our country because they know what we stand for. And so I feel like these people, even though they're not technically Americans, they understand the sacrifice that are our six fallen heroes and many more, but these six fallen heroes that we've lost this week, what they stood for and what they died for. And it's nice to know that people are grateful for the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform because they don't have to do it for them. They don't have to do it for us either, but they choose to do it for us. And in the process, sometimes they lose their lives defending other people too. And I just, I am humbled and grateful to have people in my family that have done that or been there in those situations. and then the people in our community.
Starting point is 01:04:05 I know we have plenty of veterans in our community. So we'll let this play this about a minute. I'm not sure what this is. Okay, so I'm pretty sure the words were slightly different because that was not the exact same song. That was kind of strange. But the sentiment was there. Yeah, I'm confused right now.
Starting point is 01:05:24 But anyway, that was a beautiful moment. That doesn't take away from the moment at all. And I appreciate it. Just being out there in general and just paying your respect is what matters most to me. And thank you to those people out there. And I appreciate you for understanding what our men and women sacrifice their lives for. And I can't speak for them, but I know that the family members and friends that I have said that they would do it again. Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing, Sissy Mae.
Starting point is 01:05:57 I think that part of it was sung in Farsi because Farsi is, in my opinion, it's a beautiful language. One of my mom's best friends when I was growing up. Okay, here we go. New K says versus two and three cam. Okay. And then Aob, 22, two different languages and the third or fourth verse. Perfect. Thank you guys so much.
Starting point is 01:06:19 Yeah, see, that's, I need you guys to do that because I'm not going to pretend like I know everything. and I learned something new. So thank you so much. Yeah, again, not only thank you to those men and women that lost their lives and all those people that put their lives on the line, all those heroes, but thank you to the men and women over there in the UK that are Iranian, that I understand what we're fighting for and what we believe in over here. And that leads me into this next story that I thought was just.
Starting point is 01:06:54 just beautiful. It started, for me at first, it kind of started off sad, but then it, it got beautiful. And it's not that sad. I mean, it is sad. Don't get me wrong. But let me just read the story. I'm going to have to put it full screen for this one. So this is from Mike Netter on X.
Starting point is 01:07:18 And it says, she was too late to play taps for her great-grandfather. So she made sure 1,500 other families wouldn't have to settle for a recording. Katie Pryor was 10 when her great-grandfather, a World War II veteran, entered hospice. She had just begun learning trumpet. Her family spoke about how meaningful it would be if she could play taps at his funeral, the simple, haunting 24-note bugle call that has honored fallen service members since the Civil War. She practiced with urgency. urgency.
Starting point is 01:07:50 She didn't make it in time. When he passed, a recording of taps was played instead. It was respectful, it was traditional, but it wasn't live, and to Katie, it felt like something sacred had been missing. Years later, she discovered a painful reality. More than 1,500 veterans die each day in the United States, and there are not enough military buglers to perform live at every funeral. Many families, like hers, must rely on a digital recording. Katie decided that wasn't good enough. At 15, she founded the Youth Trumpet and Taps Corps as part of her Girl Scout,
Starting point is 01:08:25 Gold Award project. Her goal was simple but powerful. Recruit and train young trumpet players across the country to volunteer at veterans' funerals free of charge so families could hear TAPS performed live. But Katie didn't stop at good intentions. She created a structured training program offering workshops and online instruction. Volunteers learn not just the music, but the meaning behind it. Military funeral protocol, posture, timing, respect. Because those two minutes at a grave side are not just about sound. They are about dignity. What began as one girl's heartbreak became a national movement. The youth trumpet and taps core has grown to include over a hundred young musicians across dozens of states. Teenagers, some barely old enough to drive, stand quietly
Starting point is 01:09:13 in cemeteries, lift their trumpets, and play for veterans they'd never met. Katie has performed at many funerals herself. Each time she carries her great-grandfather with her, and every final note, she honors him too. That's what makes her story extraordinary. She couldn't change the past. She couldn't replay the funeral, but she could make sure other families wouldn't feel the same regret. 24 notes, two minutes of music, a lifetime of meaning. Katie Pryor turned a missed moment into a mission. And because she did, thousands more veterans are being honored not by a speaker, but by a living, breathing young musician offering a final salute. She was too late for one, but right on time for so many others.
Starting point is 01:09:58 And this is Katie Pryor right here. I just got chills. I got chills. I remember when I read it, I think I read it like two days ago. Maybe it was yesterday. And I got chills, but this one really got me. What I just say. Tamerat Garden.
Starting point is 01:10:19 Yes. What a beautiful story. That makes me tear up. Such an inspiration. Yes. this one i um i made sure to to keep it together reading this one i'm not usually one to cry on on stream but there are some stories that i'll read to you guys that um they definitely made me tear up when i first read them i just kind of collect myself beforehand but yeah i i don't i don't care about
Starting point is 01:10:39 myself in this moment this is about katie prior and um what what a beautiful young soul you know there there are times when i was young that i wanted i would pray for world peace and and i would want all these things to happen. And I mean, I've done my part in ways. But when I see a young girl like her do this, I'm just like, man, what am I complaining about? The little things in my life, like this girl, she had a moment that passed by that she couldn't get back.
Starting point is 01:11:09 And she didn't just pull up into a ball and cry about it. She got out there and made a difference. And I love it. I love it. This is what America is about, in my opinion. And I think a lot of you share the same sentiments. So we have a couple of Rumble Rants that came in. Let me get to those because we're going to have to cut YouTube in just a moment.
Starting point is 01:11:31 By the way, YouTube, I appreciate you guys. I have not been very good in the chat. I apologize, but I finally brought it up. So next week, hopefully I'll get some more stuff in. But let me share this. What is going on? Oh, I need it on the screen. Got it.
Starting point is 01:11:47 All right. So let's pull up the rants. First up, arts Joan for $10. Thank you so much, Archie, Artsy Joan. She says, thanks for another fun show, Cam. God bless you. And God bless you, too, Artsy Joan. The camera's a little low, but we see up there behind me right there.

Thank you so much, Arce. next up we have $10 from Salbish thank you Salish she says thank you Cam another great show thank you so much appreciate you both being here everyone for being here but I appreciate you too for sending in rants as well thank you so much and then next up we have one dollar from redneck renegade with this American spirit happening I have to axe Cam to play this song at first I thought you meant axes and like get rid of me but now I get axed me to play this song L.O.L

Starting point is 01:13:07 That's it for the rants right now. YouTube, I am going to do a couple more things real quick. I'm going to play a couple things from X. And then I'm going to cut YouTube in about five minutes or less. So I will start to send stuff over in the chat to let you guys know about it. So this one I thought was pretty interesting. This is from five hours ago from Shadow of Ezraon X. And this is this one's for the children, man.
Starting point is 01:13:40 So this is Shadow of Ezra on X, like I just said. And this post says, a save the children protest has now. started on Hollywood Boulevard and has begun with demands to execute elite pedophiles and shut down satanic Hollywood while the numbers are small for now is expected to grow and spread across the country until pedophiles are no longer safe quote these pedophiles have to go i'll play this real quick i was on mute love it i absolutely love it and the reason i brought this one up because of course it's important this is always important but the fact that it's in hollywood the fact that people are now willing to go out into the streets of Hollywood in Southern California and go right to right to where it's
Starting point is 01:15:13 happening. I mean, it's happening everywhere, but right to where they really promote it. Love it. Absolutely love it. Thank you to everybody that's out there. And if you're if you're out there and you're willing to go out there, I would I would love to hear if you have any videos from on the ground send them my way. Send them on X or a telegram. If you're in the any of the Gart chats, then you'll be able to to see that. But um, Yeah, that was just phenomenal. We have one more rant that just came in. I'm going to read this rant, and then I'm going to play the last ad and talk about Gart before I cut YouTube, and then I will play the last two videos.
Starting point is 01:15:54 So another rant came in. This one is from R. Stanger for $10. Thank you so much, R. Stanger. Says Cam and fam, please pray for my family and my newfound sobriety. Absolutely. Congratulations, R Stanger. I know from personal experience that it is not easy. When it first starts, it doesn't get much easier to be honest.
Starting point is 01:16:18 You may have to deal with that the rest of your life. You're going to have to deal with the rest of your life. But we're here for you. Like you said, Cam and fam, we're your fam too. I will definitely be praying for you. And I hope everybody else will as well. But congratulations on your new found sobriety. And may it continue forever.
Starting point is 01:16:37 And if you ever have any moments where you're down, you're feeling doubts, reach out to one of us. I know if you reach out to me, I will respond. But I believe that there's plenty of other people in the chat that care enough to help you through whatever you need. So again, congratulations and keep it up. Keep it up. Proud of you. I'm proud of you.
Starting point is 01:16:55 It may not mean much to you, but from me to you, I'm proud of you. And I thank you for sharing that. I really do. Man, that's awesome. this has been a great show thank you guys thank you guys for making it a great show Jackie's going to send the links over in the YouTube chat oh she already did it perfect so on YouTube Jackie has the the links over there I'm going to play these ads real quick and then this ad real quick and then talk about Gart and then I'm going to cut YouTube so let me get to
Starting point is 01:17:27 our third ad I don't think I have any music playing nope all right this is the moment you've all been waiting for even though you've probably already seen it. Legend says on St. Patrick's Day, a beard without oil is just a chin with ambition. But a beard with soft disclosure beard oil, that's true treasure. Spiced vanilla, naked, smooth as a lepricons getaway plan. Soft enough to impress your barber, bold enough to confuse a baby goat. And this bore bristlebrush tames your beard like it owes the crown coin. every bottle is American made
Starting point is 01:18:08 which means when you buy soft disclosure you're supporting six American small businesses that's not luck that's capitalism with cheekbones and while you're at it try our mint green deodorant because even legends need fresh pits soft disclosure go for gold
Starting point is 01:18:23 visit softdisclosure.com and use promo code tiny bright for 15% off he seems to have been evaluated by the FDA promo code does not apply to bubble Oh yeah Tiny Bright in the house Tomcat 01 in j over on youtube said don't forget daylight saving time starts at 2 a.m.
Starting point is 01:18:47 Yes, please remember that. I totally forgot about that. Yes, Flying Storm, that is BB. That's a real BB. That's not AI. That was really him. He's got little legs like that. I'm just kidding.
Starting point is 01:18:57 But that is BB. But thank you. Thank you Tomcat. Yes, daylight saving starts at 2 a.m. And this is the good one, guys. This is where we get more daylight. And hopefully this is the last time we have to change it. I don't know how they're going to do it in the fall.
Starting point is 01:19:13 But I know that there was something. I forgot what it was. But they're talking about changing it forever. I really hope they do. And I'm with Eleanor 2000. I hate daylight savings time. Yep. Except for this is supposed to put us back on the normal time to where we get more daylight.
Starting point is 01:19:31 And there's no reason for us to go back to less daylight, in my personal opinion. but I think most of you guys agree with that. All right. So last up, we've got GART coming up, guys. Guard is right around the corner. Let me take my face off of here. Let's see. Oh, that is not what I wanted to do.
Starting point is 01:19:52 That works. Perfect. All right. So, guys, virtual tickets for Guard 11 in Nashville are now available. You can grab them at the Early Bird Special, with the Early Bird Special price between, now in March 15th. So that's what? Eight more days.
Starting point is 01:20:12 Eight more days. And then after that, the regular price is of $40 kicks in. Visit badlandsmedia.tv slash events to snag the lowest price for virtual tickets. So remember, guys, you have until March 15th for the early bird special price. And then after that, the price goes back to $40. So make sure you go ahead and get your tickets. Can I put, yes, I'm in the corner. Perfect. Does this work?
Starting point is 01:20:36 Oh, they both work. All right. So this Gart is going to be in Nashville. Obviously, like I said, it's near Vanderbilt University. A bunch of other stuff. I think it's called boardwalk, but whatever it is. Beale Street maybe, I think is what it's called. But Nashville has a whole bunch of bars. If you're not into that, they have nice restaurants.
Starting point is 01:20:57 They have a bunch of stuff to do. But you're going to spend much your time with us at Guard anyway, like at the event. So you don't even need all that stuff. But if you want to go early, if you want to stay late, There's plenty of stuff to do in Nashville. It's a great city to go to. There's an airport pretty close by. And the speakers for this event are going to be John Harold, Chris Paul, Burning Bright, the DPH crew right there.
Starting point is 01:21:20 And they do a live DPAH guys. So anybody that doesn't know about it, the live DPAH is so much fun. I mean, it's, what is it? I think it'll be 9.30 at night, central time. So it'll be 10.30, the normal time, Eastern time. And it's the three of them on stage. we get to heckle from the crowd. They only shush us a couple times usually.
Starting point is 01:21:42 But maybe ghosts will get on the mic again. And that's always a hoot. And you get to come up and ask questions. You can ask questions in the chat. You can ask questions live if you're in person. It's a great time. But there's plenty of other stuff going on. We have a meet and greet on Friday night,
Starting point is 01:21:57 which is basically like a little dance party. If you want to dance, everyone ends up dance. Well, not everyone. A lot of people end up dancing. But it's a good time, guys. And while you're there, it's Josh, Josh Reid talks about it a lot. But it is a, it's not one of those things where if you go, there's like a green room where we're in the back and like we're separated from you guys. The speakers and the audience members are canoodling together for lack of a better word.
Starting point is 01:22:23 The whole time, the only time you're not really, I mean, you're still talking to us because you can ask questions. But when we're up on stage, that's the only time where we're not just sitting there having conversation. But when in between, I mean, just ask your. favorite bad lander or whoever you want to talk to about your weirdest conspiracy theory. And as long as they're not in a rush to get on stage or go eat or something like that, they haven't done. I say that because I often forget to eat. You can just talk to them, just like normal people.
Starting point is 01:22:51 If you have a drink with them, have a cigar, whatever, it's going to be a good time. So like I said, the DPH crew, John Harold, Chris Paul and Burning Bright will be there. Zach Payne, Red Pill 78 will be there. G Money, Jordan Saither, CanCon, Alpha Warrior, Brad Zerboebo, in America, Jonathan Drake, J. Triet, Abby Zerbo, Josh Reed, J.B. White, yours truly Cam Cooxie. Matt Trump is making his first appearance that I believe it's his first appearance. If it's not his first one for a while, I get to finally meet him in person, which is awesome. And Ghost of Base Patrick Henry is going to be there.
Starting point is 01:23:24 So make sure you guys get your GART tickets. Virtual tickets are on sale. Early, early bird special until the 15th. And then after that, they're going back to the regular price of $40. It's badlandsmedia. TV slash events. All right, YouTube, thank you guys so much for being here.
Starting point is 01:23:39 I love you guys. I appreciate you guys. Remember, it's daylight savings time starting at 2 a.m. Everybody else on Rumble, stick around. I have a couple more things. Oh, EC was here,
Starting point is 01:23:49 says Matt was at Gart 1. Yeah, see, I was, I think I watched that one virtually. But yeah, I was, I wasn't even, my Badland personality wasn't even born yet. I was still in the womb.
Starting point is 01:24:02 So anyway, Love you guys on YouTube. Have a good night. People with Alpha is at 9 o'clock. So it'll be on YouTube as well. So all right. Catch you later, YouTube. Everybody else stick around.
Starting point is 01:24:14 We're almost done. All right. YouTube is cut out. Let me take this off the screen. And let me get to our American of the Week. And we're actually just going to do one American of the week because I don't want to cut into people too much. So let's go ahead and get over to that.
Starting point is 01:24:35 I think I had one more post that. I wanted to show you guys actually. Let's see. Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Oh, here we go. This is, this one, 25 seconds.
Starting point is 01:24:47 It's from a Maha action on X from yesterday. And it's RFK Jr. And I'll just let him speak for himself. But I think this is brilliant and inaccurate. So here we go. Oh, that is not it. That's it. And what I keep telling him is there's another such thing as,
Starting point is 01:25:09 as Republican children or Democratic children. All of our kids. And, you know, if we're going to save our kids, people have to stop hating Donald Trump more than they love their children. I mean, that's, I couldn't have said it better myself. I know in our community, we don't have to deal with that. Let me phrase that.
Starting point is 01:25:39 We do have to deal with that. Actually, I take that back. In Badlands, we don't really have to deal with that. But in the conservative movement, we do have to deal with people hating Donald Trump more than they love their children. That goes back to the saving the children. That goes back to the anything health related. Just making this world a better place.
Starting point is 01:25:53 Making America great again. It's, it's, oh yeah, pants off gang. Everybody take your pants off. Flobis take your pants off. When we cut YouTube for the people that aren't here, I jokingly said that one time. And it's kind of stuck. So shout out to Matt VK for reminding me.
Starting point is 01:26:08 Yep, this is the pants off gang. By the way, this is, I'm not taking my pants off. But for everybody at home in the comfort of your own home, take your pants off if you want you don't have to do it never going to force anybody to but that's just what we do but anyway back to what i was saying we're here to save the children the reason i say that is because the children like katie prior for example she wouldn't be the person that she is today if she didn't have great people around her like her grandfather who's a war war war two veteran was a war war war two veteran and her supporting her she wouldn't have been able to be the person that she
Starting point is 01:26:42 is today to help all these other people that's what we're here for guys it's not for us anymore. We're too old. We're too old. I mean, most of us have plenty of our life ahead of us, but we're still too old. We're too old to be to be fully indoctrinated. We can still be indoctrinated some, but these children, their brains are still growing. Their minds are still growing. And the other side, Satan's side, they're trying to steal our children, man. They're trying to steal God's perfect creation. And we're not letting that happen, man. And one way we do that is by letting people know, do not hate Donald Trump more than you love your children. That's insanity. We're here to spread love and we're here to spread love and protection for children. That's what I'm
Starting point is 01:27:24 here for. That's the whole reason I got into this movement. The only reason why I even cared about this, I didn't care about any of this stuff, I didn't even care about Donald Trump. But when I found the cue drops, and this was just for me, when I found the cue drops and started digging on what they were doing to children, something that I thought was an isolated incident. And I come to find out that this is happening all over our country, all over the world at an extreme rate, that was it for me. I was in the fight. So I love you guys. I appreciate you guys.
Starting point is 01:27:50 Redneck Renegade, I'll play your video. I will play your videos still. We have one more rant that just came in. And thank you so much for the rant. This is from DDE Novellas says, oh, it's not on the screen. Let me add to the stage. DDE novellis says love the positive show. Thank you so much for $10.
Starting point is 01:28:15 Thank you so much, DDE novellis. I know you hear all the time. And yeah, I try to keep it positive. By the way, Jackie and I have a show on our own channels on Wednesday at 2 o'clock where it's called unconventional news. And we just run through positive news stories. It's all about positivity. It's a little more lax.
Starting point is 01:28:33 It's on our own channels. So we can do whatever we can do whatever we want on Badlands too. but like we really just go all in on just whatever we feel like throwing out there sometimes they're old stories sometimes they're current it really doesn't matter but this movement needs more positivity and more love and it doesn't mean that we we ignore things um from people that are evil and and things like that that's different that is that's not being positive that's being a coward but uh we're going to be positive over here and and i think this entire community is positive the only reason people get mad and get frustrated is because there are times where people are just
Starting point is 01:29:08 blatantly lying and trying to manipulate people. And that's not love. That's fear. So let's spread love. So I'm going to play the American of the Week. We're running a little bit over, but I think Al will be all right with it. We're going to play our American of the Week. This week we have Mercy Otis Warren.
Starting point is 01:29:25 Let me change the screen. And then after that, I'm going to play the video that Redneck Renegades sent over. So here we go. Let me play this. They call me the conscience of the American Revolution, though I was born a woman in a world that wished me silent. I am Mercy Otis Warren, daughter of Massachusetts, sister to James Otis, and friend to the founders of a new republic. I was born in 1728, taught not in schoolrooms but in my uncle's study. There I listened to my brother's Latin lessons through the door, then read their books by candlelight.
Starting point is 01:30:18 When tyranny darkened our doorstep, I did not stay idle. I wrote political satires, the adulterre, the group, the blockheads, mocking loyalist governors and warning of British chains. They appeared in the Massachusetts spy, unsigned but unmistakable. My word stirred protests and sometimes fear. I published pamphlets, poems, and in time a history of the American Revolution, the first by any woman. I wrote not of military havoc, but of ideas, of liberty, of the men and women who dared to shape a nation. George Washington wrote me in praise, Jefferson encouraged my convictions, and John Adams,
Starting point is 01:31:03 dear John, he and Abigail were my friends, until my pen offended him. I wrote, even victors must guard the freedom they win, lest it be sported away by the folly of the people or the deception of their rulers. He took offense. Our friendship fell silent for years. Still, I did not regret the truth. My place was not in Congress, nor on the battlefield, but in the forum of ideas. My pen carried me where politics would not let me go.
Starting point is 01:31:34 I did not step beyond my place. I wrote from it. A Patriots place is wherever liberty calls. All right. That was Mercy Otis Warren. Another great American. I love that she said I was born a woman And I was like yep, you're born a woman
Starting point is 01:32:00 And you're still a woman But thank you guys so much for being here This video that I'm about to play from Redneck Renegade Is a little long, it's like four minutes I'm still gonna play it Thank you so much Redneck Renegade You're sitting in a rant so I'm definitely playing it But this is gonna be my outro
