Will Cain Country - Illegal Immigrant Driver Kills 3! Plus, Trump Faces Zelensky & NATO Allies (ft. Mitch Aguiar, Officer Brandon Tatum & Brent Suriano)

Episode Date: August 18, 2025

Story #1: Former Navy SEAL Mitch Aguiar joins Will to recount the most challenging New York City Navy SEAL Swim yet. From battling brutal currents around the Statue of Liberty to swimmers getting pinned under a barge, Mitch explains how instinct, training, and teamwork kept the day from turning tragic. And just when the swim ended, Mitch found himself controlling a knife-wielding party crasher, proving danger didn't end with the swim. Story #2: The Host of 'The Officer Tatum Show,' Brandon Tatum, sits down with Will to discuss President Donald Trump’s high-stakes meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin and European leaders: could it actually deliver peace in Ukraine? They also break down the shocking case of an illegal immigrant semi truck driver making a deadly U-turn in an 18-wheeler, and the broader failures of America’s immigration system. Story #3: Will welcomes in longtime Willitia member Brent Suriano, who joined this year’s SEAL Swim as a civilian patriot returning for his second year. Brent shares what it was like to be caught in the Hudson’s unforgiving currents, how his family’s military history inspired him to dive in, and why this event is more than a test of endurance, it’s a tribute to fallen heroes and a reminder of what binds the Willitia together.

Kane Show YouTube channel, Fox News, Facebook page Terrestrial Radio from coast to coast, but always available by subscribing at Apple or on Spotify. We got a big show for you today because it is a big day in world events. Is there going to be peace in Europe? On Friday, President Donald Trump flew to Alaska and met with the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin.

In a contest of whose plane was bigger, President Donald Trump owned the moment. He made his way down the red carpet, waited for Vladimir Putin physically, towered over Putin, gave him the extra pats on the wrist, pulled him in on the handshake, stood him up on the stage, and then what happened behind closed doors. Varing reports with some suggesting Trump administration officials came out ashen and frightened. others looking at the score on the ball field and seeing seven European leaders headed today to Washington, D.C., to see if we can now hammer out peace between Ukraine and Russia. We're going to break all that down, plus more, coming up in just a moment with Officer Brandon Tatum. But first, the most adventurous, the most dangerous, the most storyful, New York City Navy SEAL Swim. Story number one. Fourth time.

My fourth time diving into the waters of the Hudson. 320-some-odd patriots, roughly 80 Navy SEALs, NYPD, New York Fire Department, New Jersey State Police, Marine, Marine Raiders, Coast Guard, including Coast Guard search and rescue officer Scott Ruskin, who pulled 170, 74 children out of the waters of the Guadalupe River in Kerrville, Texas. Joined us for what is always an amazing day in New York City. You start at the Empty Sky Memorial in Liberty State Park in New Jersey. You grab an American flag, you run a few miles, you surround yourself in a circle while skydivers land into the middle of the circle honoring Gold Star families.

We load up, then into our flippers and our goggles, and we start our swim. We swim three-quarters of a mile to the Statue of Liberty, where we bang out 100 push-ups and 22 pull-ups, signifying the number of veterans who commit suicide every day. Then we swim another three-quarters of a mile to Ellis Island, where we bang out another 100 push-ups and 22 push-ups. And then we swim the final stretch, a mile and a half, across the Hudson, landing at South Cove in Manhattan, grab a flag, run to ground zero, bang out 100 push-ups, and 22 pull-ups. But that's not the way it went this year in 2025. Join me now as former Navy SEAL, Mitch Aguilar, my personal security detail throughout the day on Saturday and my friend. He's also, by the way, the president's CEO of massive supplement foundation. You need to get massive supplements.

Greens, reds, I legit take them. They keep you healthy. They keep you strong. Nobody is strong as Mitch. Who, by the way, started his day swimming around the back. side of the Statue of Liberty. Let's just start there, Mitch. Why?

Why did you go the wrong way around the Statue of Liberty? Well, I didn't go the wrong way. You know, I was just taking it all in. You know, this is my seventh year. And, you know, I wasn't, I wasn't sure if I was going to be back again. You know, so I was kind of just taking it in, taking my time, enjoying the moment, you know. that current was moving a little bit more than we anticipated. And I wasn't, you know,

wasn't really concerned about it too much. Wasn't really swimming that hard. And before I knew it, I was kind of on the backside of that statue of liberty. And I was like, this is not good. So then I had to really kind of start swimming hard. And I realized I wasn't going very far,

very quickly. And so it took me, I was fighting that current pretty, strong and uh and i got around the statue of liberty it brought me in the front of it and i had to fight back to the to the barge and everything so that first leg i was in the water for about an hour you know uh what a lot of people don't realize is that not every navy seal is necessarily a strong swim but that's not Mitch Mitch can swim and i was on the barge and there was some ronald mcdonald house kids who were fighting cancer and we did a little stop they pulled up to the barge we did a little

appearance. And then somewhere after we'd long done our push-ups and pull-ups, I see Mitch just kind of roll up on the bars. And he's like, Mitch just got here. What happened to you, man? He's like, I went the other way around the Statue of Liberty. And what I heard, I heard a rumor, Mitch, that you weren't the only guy. I heard the currents pushed a good 30 guys around the other side, eventually around the Statue of Liberty. Well, I was one of the last swimmers that actually that made it to the boat. There was about a hundred swimmers that got caught in that same current that I was in that couldn't make it back. So they just picked them up and put them on the boats and brought them in. So I fought the current and fought the current back to

the barge. So I got a good little workout in. It was nice. I didn't know that. And by the way, anyone that wants to know about Mitch's ability to fight a current or do a workout and not say no and not quit. Of course, he didn't ring the bell. He is a Navy SEAL. But go look at his what it wasn't Mitch, 20-minute fight with Sean Strickland, where the entire goal was, you're just not going to quit. You're just not going to stop. How long was that fight with Strickland? 25 minutes. So it was five, five-minute rounds, yeah.

Of me being a punch of pure pain. But you never quit, but you never quit. And we should point out, Sean Strickland is like one of the best to ever do this game when it comes to MMA. Okay, so my day started out like this, Mitch. My brother bought me from my birthday some really fancy $250 guy. Last year, I didn't train for the seal swim. I got a little cocky after the first couple of years, so I didn't train at all. And I came out of the water at the end of the day last year with like really bad neck pain

because of the amount of times you have to lift your head and do water polo stroke to spot where you're going, you know, especially on that last stretch to Manhattan. It's like, where are you going? So I got these fancy goggles and they've got a bearing in them. So you can keep your head down the entire time. You look up, you put your bearing on it. It's a 360-degree dial on wherever you're headed. and then you just maintain that bearing the entire time you're swimming.

And I've been training with them a little bit, and it works pretty good. Right off the back, you know the move, Mitch, we jump off of a bridge into the Hudson. I got my fins in one hand. I got my goggles and my buoy. And I had told myself, hold your buoy because I've seen guys jump in not holding their buoy and then it rips away from them because of the power of you hitting the water and the buoy tries to stay at the top. So I had everything in my hands.

I jump in, I come up, and it took five seconds. and I'm like, got it. Well, wear my goggles. I don't have goggles. I just let them go the moment I hit the water. And I'm talking, I haven't taken stroke number one yet. So I'm like, what do I do? And I kind of like fumbled around in the water, but you know how it is, Mitch. Dudes are jumping in on top of you and just churning the water. I'm like, I'm never going to find these goggles. So I go, screw it. I'm going for a swim. And so I just started swimming to the Statue of Liberty. Eyes closed the whole time. Lifted my head every five strokes, making sure I'm headed in the right direction. I'd say two-thirds of my way to the first barge.

Randomly, some dude named Tony, I don't know who he is, he's not a seal, some dude named Tony goes, hey man, you don't have goggles? I'm like, no. He goes, you want a pair? I'm like, yes, please. And he reaches into his bag and he pulls out a pair of goggles and saves my ass. Later, all these seals were like, yeah, it's clear you're not a seal because one pair is zero pairs, two pairs is one pair. So back up on your gear is something you guys are taught as well. So, but my day started bad, but got worse. But what people don't know is the way that Mitch's day started was actually really just the beginning of the adventure. So then the real adventure starts for the New York City Navy Seals swim.

We jump in after we get a headcount, and Mitch is with me most of the day. And you got to know, Mitch, Mitch says it the way he feels it. And he's like, these head counts are stupid. How many times do we have to do headcount? You don't have to do a head count from the bus to the empty sky memorial. but we're all doing a head count at Barge 1. Then we jump in. You can tell your story, Mitch, here,

but mine is, I was covering ground pretty fast, but I think I'm fast, so I'm passing guys, and I'm pretty proud of myself, you know. I'm like, I'm making good time to the barge number two at Ellis Island. I look up, I'd say, about 100 yards out from the barge, and I'm a little off to the left, and I hear a boat yell at me, but I don't really pay attention to what they're saying,

and I just put my bearings back on the barge. The way this works for everybody imagining this in your mind's eye, the barges are about 20 feet above the water line. So what has to happen is we all climb a ladder. There's usually two to three ladders at each barge. And when you get there, there's 320 swimmers. There's usually, I'd say, anywhere from five to ten people arriving around your time frame. So you've got to wait, you know, your turn to get on the ladder.

Well, this time I put my head down to take, you know, 100 yards worth of strokes, I think, and not long my hand hits the barge. I'm like, what the hell? hell, I covered this fast. And I look over at the ladder. And at this point, there's elites 10 to 15 people pinned up against the ladder and the barge, like they're on the barge. And the currents are coming in so strong that it's creating a wave effect off the barge

and bouncing back. And I did recognize it immediately like, this is not good. Get away. Get away from the barge, get away from the ladder. So I start swimming best I can, kind of back to where barge won. and I'm kicking and I'm swimming and I'm really not going anywhere but for staying in place away from the ladder

and I look up at some point Mitch and I see you and you're next to me and I remember your eyes and I've been around your eyes enough to know kind of read you and your eyes were not like this is cool and we looked at each other and we were like this is bad and bodies started piling up against the barge

and the more people that came in the more bodies were joining this whole like school of fish type situation of people around the ladders and people weren't getting up the ladder I'll let you take it from there Mitch but I looked up at one point

onto the barge for the guys that already were there a lot of seals and I did see, I don't want to say panic but deep concern in their eyes yeah so like you said when we jumped in and started heading towards that second barge

that current was I already knew the current was ripping because I had just been fighting it for so long, you know, to that first barge. And then when we got into that, to go to the second, like you said, it was no time we were there because that thing just shot us over there. And it, that current was moving so strong that it was creating these big, like waves, like almost like a washing machine type effect, you know, hitting into the barge. and the ladder that hangs off the barge into the water was about at a 45-degree angle with people climbing on it, you know, and the waves smashing up against it. And it was also creating this vacuum effect underneath of the barge, and people were getting sucked under the barge.

To include myself, I got sucked under the barge, and on the way there, my buoy had deflated and was basically just like a, bag full of water and like acting like a parachute and uh you know so i and ended up giving that to the the jet ski um guy in the jet ski and uh and when i went up to the boat i was about to get on the boat and i got sucked under that barge and i had to swim my ass off to get to get out from from under there and i seen all these you know bodies pulling up trying to get up the ladder and people are really struggling to stay to stay keep their head above that water in that very choppy mess and luckily and more and more people arriving because of the current it's like every minute there's more people arriving into that mess that's our objective is to get up the ladder and get on the barge and you know get to get to get to do our push-ups and pull-ups and everything that's that's that's where everybody's supposed to be so like it nobody was nobody was nobody was in the wrong for doing that but you know um i i recognize very quickly how dangerous it was just being next to that barge in those conditions because it like i said myself and several

others had been sucked underneath of the barge and you know uh right it's very dangerous it's a dangerous place to be a lot of people were getting cut up by barnacles and stuff like that and you know it only takes uh one bad one bad move where, you know, you're on an exhale and you get sucked under there and panic and, you know, could pass out underwater or something. And we saw several boobies.

Really quickly. Go ahead. I saw a couple of seals had said to me, man, that was a moment that illustrates to you, like, we're a tenth of a second away from animal instinct. And what happens is people start climbing

on top of each other. And are you up for telling me the story you told me when we were sitting on the barge together about Bud's training and the biggest washout period in Bud's training? Can you tell me about? The Beehive Drill?

Yeah. So there's a drill that we do, an evolution in buds that's very early on in diverse phase called the Beehive Drill. And this drill, there's an instructor in the middle, and there's about 30 Bud students, and you're in your boots and pants and camis, like full uniform. And you have your mask on, and you're bunched very tight together. and there's an instructor in the middle that you can't touch and then there's instructor swimming along the outside of the swimmer of the bud students and you have to basically tread water for about five minutes and what happens is because you're so bunched up

and you're trying to tread water you have to use your hands essentially to and feet to keep you above the water to get air but because you're so bunched up you end up you know, having to pull down people's shoulders and stuff like that in order to get up. And what happens, you get pulled under by people. And if you're, again, if you're on an exhale or something like that, you start to panic very quickly. And your instinct to breathe is about as high as it gets on the natural instincts order. And so when you start feeling like you're drowning, it's your survival instinct kicks in very quickly. people begin to panic and pulling people under.

And, you know, there's a saying, calm breeds calm, chaos breeds chaos. And, you know, that evolution ends up getting a enormous amount of people to quit. So much so that they bring the bell to that evolution specifically because people just end up freaking out and quitting, you know, so they crawl out at that pool looking for relief. and yeah and that's what I recognize happening that's what it looked like right yeah that's what I recognized and recognized people you know pulling on each other's shoulders and they were all trying to get up that ladder and what you know I realized in that moment like this is this is not good people need to get away from that so you know I and I had seen you and I told you I was like we need to get away from this this barge and this ladder so

So, you know, I had swam out and around that barge because I don't care about climbing up this or getting sucked under and like the safety boats can pick people up out in the open water, you know. You and I swim around and a lot of people started to swim around to the leeward side of the barge where the current would have been broken. And we were both able to get then to swim around and climb up onto the boat in the barge. But a lot of people swam around and the currents just took them and took them off into the hudson. and they were gone. I think actually you were one of those guys. Didn't you say the current took you and you got picked up by a boat?

Did you tell me that, Mitch? I know that at least a dozen guys got picked up by a boat swept off along into the Hudson. Yeah, a lot of people got picked up by the boats because we were telling people, get away from the ladder, you know, get away from the ladder, go around the barge.

And then once that happened, you know, we were on the boats. And like I said, I was seeing buoys floating away and I was telling the boats like go check those buoys right now because it very could easily be attached to an unconscious person that may have gotten

sucked under the barge or something like that. It was a real... It took us a while. It was a real sense of, you know, I really wanted us to get a sense of urgency with getting that head count because if there was someone missing

or someone unconscious floating there, we needed to find that out immediately because, you know, that's the fastest way to lose your life is, you know, being without oxygen. It only takes a few minutes and then you're brain dead. All right. And then we got a full head count. Luckily, nobody was lost. It was safe in the end. You're around the right people in that situation, not just Coast Guard State Police, but just swimming with Navy SEALs. It was scary. It was. It It was legit, legit scary. We called off the final leg.

The currents were too strong. And honestly, if we had swam it, and I mean, I think I could have swam it. I'm an overconfident swimmer, but who knows where you end up? The currents were just, I might have come up at Times Square or hell, the Upper West Side. I might have come up and be like, I've completed it. Where is everybody? But I'm at the George Washington Bridge. It wouldn't have been an issue about getting to there.

I mean, we would have gotten there very fast, actually. but getting out and where we normally get out, the current was doing the same thing in that cove there. So it could have been dangerous. It would have been so hard. Yeah. All right, last thing. We went to a party.

We hammered beers. We went to another restaurant. We hammered sliders and more beers. And then I get a text from Mitch. It said you left just a little bit too early. So then the story is you text me. and I could never tell with Mitch. He's been very clear with me.

He doesn't BS, but there's just something in his delivery that makes me feel like I don't know if I can 100% trust with what he's saying. But you text me, hey man, a dude pulled a knife at the party. You left too early. I took him from behind and waited until the cops came. So what happened? I've got only like a minute or two, Mitch,

because Officer Brandon Tatum is waiting. And you're serious and Officer Tatum is serious. But you tell me this story quickly. Hey, well, tell Officer Tatum. He's got the perfect platform and to promote my charity, Adopt-A-Cop, BJJ. And this was like a perfect commercial for it. So, yeah, so a guy that had entered the party, you know, they realized he wasn't a part of our party, didn't have the wristband. They ended up kicking him out.

He didn't want to go. So they ended up literally dragging him out and, you know, threw him out of the party. And, you know, again, then started throwing stuff at the bouncers, antagonizing. them so they came out and then he had pulled a knife and um and i i was facing him you know kind of like head on and uh one of the guys in the party uh edward james had ran out and like tackled him from behind and and we jumped a couple of us had jumped on him and i immediately took his back got back control and you know i'm a first degree black belt and jiu jizzo i've been training since 2008 um so when you have that level of grappling against someone that

has no grappling experience. It's like dealing with a, like a toddler. And so I got him under control, and I could tell everybody was kind of freaking out because that's a high-stress situation and environment. And I was trying, again, calm, chaos breeds, chaos. I had the guy totally controlled, and I was telling everyone around me, just relax, just chill out, just chill out. He's not going to go anywhere.

He's not going to hurt anybody. And I'm talking to the guy, too. And I said, hey, man. And I said, just so you're aware, you're literally surrounded by a bunch of Navy SEALs and cops. So it's probably in your best interest. I think it's the wrong party you broke into, bro. It's the wrong party to crash with your knife. You just got surrounded by about 50 Navy SEALs.

I have two a seal. All right. My brother texted me. My brother texted me Mitch Aguilar's Day, swam around the backside of the Statue of Liberty, got pinned a bench, got sucked underneath a barge, pulled out of the river after floating down the huds, and took a dude. the back who would pull the knife.

While you're checking out our show, you're probably already checking out the very popular Officer Tatum show. If you're not, you should. And the host of it, Brandon Tatum, joins us now. Officer Tatum, I am sorry we made you wait so long while a Navy see. belaborous with the stories of almost dying on Saturday in the New York City Navy Seals swim.

And you came dressed up. You came in a tie. You know, I tell you what, the only time I ever worn a tie is the more layback show, right? So I guess we both starting off with a good morning. Yeah, I feel like when you're on the Will Kane show on the Fox News Channel, you're usually pretty casually dressed. Now you come on to my casual show and you dress up, man. You zigged everybody else's zag. I know, yeah, man.

Hey, I'm trying to change it up. Brandon Tatum, Officer Tatum, here with us on Wilcane country. Let's start with the big news of the day. So, Officer Tatum, this is who is expected at the White House today. It is European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. It is German Chancellor Frederick Mertz. It is French President Emmanuel Macron. It is UK Prime Minister Kier Starmor.

It is NATO Secretary General Mark Root. And also, Vladimir Zelensky of Ukraine, just two days after Trump and Putin meet in Alaska, these people over the weekend all arranged to be in Washington, D.C. This seems big. Yeah, I think it's tremendous. You know, the big factor here that I think is incredibly important for people to recognize is that Donald Trump is making moves, man. I mean, he's able to meet with Vladimir Putin. He's able to meet with other leaders that can essentially maybe get this thing to,

a ceasefire situation where lives are not being lost anymore. I mean, there's so much death and destruction that's going on in this war. And it would be reasonable for a leader like Donald Trump or a leader in America, which we are the greatest country on planet Earth. We have the most power and influence. You know, these other presidents couldn't think of doing something that Trump has done. So the fact that he's meeting with both sides, hopefully we can get to a resolution and he should win a Nobel Peace Prize. There's no doubt in my mind. And the left, when he does negotiate a peace deal here a ceasefire. The left is going to hate him for it anyway. But the people who have a rational mind and common sense know that this is an incredible feat that Donald Trump has been

able to accomplish. And I'm going to speak it into advance because I think he's going to do something great here. And hopefully it works out for us too. It really is fascinating. Not to always focus on left, but I was busy over the weekend. So I was only halfway tuning into the fallout from Putin, Trump in Alaska. But I did see this. narrative start to form like, what a failure for Donald Trump? And I think it started with this reporter, Antonio Hilton Levitt, who described, Antonio Hilton described Caroline Levitt, White House Press Secretary, as follows coming out of that meeting. Watch. A lot of the press corps that was there, they reported in the minutes and hours after the

presser that they saw members of the administration like Carolyn Levitt look ashen, almost frightened after what they had seen behind closed doors. Okay, so that leads to this sort of story about what happened behind closed doors? What did Putin say to Trump? And then that kind of continues to build with Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, who said this about that Trump Putin meeting. That meeting was a disaster. It was an embarrassment for the United States. It was a failure.

Putin got everything he wanted. I mean, first of all, he wanted that photo op, right? He wanted to be absolved of his war crimes in front of the world. he was invited to the United States. War criminals are not normally invited to the United States of America. He is intentionally murdering civilians. He's kidnapping children.

And now he got to stand next to the president of the United States legitimized in the view of the world. So they described everything that came out of that meeting as a failure for Trump. Now we have this meeting, which seems to indicate it wasn't a failure for Trump. How will they describe what happens today?

I don't know. It's like one of two outcomes is a victory. in their minds for Trump. A, Russia tucks tails and runs and raise the white flag, or B, we get to launch total war. That's what they seem to want on the left. One of those two options. Nothing else. Not peace.

They don't want anything that's going to benefit America. They don't really care. If Donald Trump did it, they have to oppose it. No matter what it is. I think there's no photo op when you're trying to negotiate. Nobody cares. You know, if Putin gets a photo op and that's what he wants, if we get to a resolution and peace,

that's what everybody wants. That's what we need. These people are so silly to me, because if you can meet with Putin and establish something that can create a positive situation, why wouldn't you meet? They wouldn't even meet with him. They're acting like he's a boogeyman. Listen, we're real men in this world, right? Real men with a pair do not mind going into uncharted territory. Do not mind doing things in an orthodox way. And I don't see anything wrong with Donald Trump giving him what he wants to get to a resolution that we all need.

And then he meets with the European leaders in Zelensky. Well, they're going to kiss his butt and say, it's all great until he negotiates something positive. Then they're going to say, oh, no, he gave Putin too much. Like, look, this is a negotiation. Exactly. What are they talking about? There's a give and take on both sides. I don't get it why they just hate this man so much.

Well, you know, you saw this on Friday, Hillary Clinton said, if you just look at the headline, and that's what everybody does, by the way. Nobody really even listens to stories or watch videos anymore. They just look at the contextualization of the headline. And it's like, oh, Hillary Clinton will nominate Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize. Well, she said she would if basically you make Ukraine get every condition that they want and Russia give up every condition that they want. Set aside they've already won land in this war. It's a war.

He's one land. You think he's going to give it up? And that came to a head with Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, on, I believe it was on CBS with Margaret Brennan. Watch. Can you name any concessions that Vladimir Putin made during this meeting? Has he, has, have any, have any concessions? Have any concessions been asked? I wouldn't name them on your program.

Why would I do that? Where is the pressure? Well, of course, because you can't have a peace agreement. No, you can't have a peace agreement unless both sides give and get. You can't have a peace agreement unless both sides make concessions. That's a fact. That's true in virtually any negotiation. If not, it's just called surrender.

And neither side is going to surrender. So both sides are going to have to make concession. So that's actually on ABC. It's Martha Raditz. That's the condition that Hillary Clinton sets the standard for a Nobel Pierce Prize. That's the condition the left is going to run with on whether or not this is good, meaning whether or not peace is good. Basically, the condition they said is full surrender by Vladimir Putin. That's not going to happen. And so therefore, what you want is full-on war.

That's what they want. They want Donald Trump to look. in every aspect. If Donald Trump negotiates a full surrender for Russia, right, it's a lose-lose because they'll have a problem with that. If there's war and we get into a world war again, they're going to be mad at that. They're going to blame Donald Trump because he started a war. And you know what, to be honest, I could not care less about these nut jobs because they're not genuine. They're not acting in good faith. I'm just worried about, is Trump going to negotiate something that can end the killing that's going on in Ukraine and Russia? I mean, they're so,

many people that are dying, so many soldiers that are dying. It seems senseless to me, maybe not to, if you live in Russia or Ukraine, but I just want Donald Trump to be able to communicate with these people. I'm okay with him acting in good faith to do what he can to create peace. He tried to do it in Gaza and Israel. You know, he's making an attempt. These other presidents haven't made an attempt. They cannot negotiate. These people draw red lines and then to get violated and they have no recourse. Every other president has been such an epic failure, in my personal opinion, in comparison to Donald Trump. And we can never judge effectiveness based on what the left says because they will never concede

a success for Donald Trump. They tried to kill the man. They tried to bankrupt the man. They tried to impeach the man. They actually impeached them twice. They couldn't get him removed from office. They did everything they can for a president. that's operating on behalf of the American people

for him not to have power again, to put their loony tunes in office and run our country into the ground. I will never respect these people again. And when Donald Trump negotiate peace, which they'll never accept, we as functional adults in America who have a connected brainstem,

will cheer and say, thank God we have Trump because Trump is doing what he should be doing what we elected him and do. We'll be right back on Will Kane Country.

Available now at Fox News Podcasts.com or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to Will Kane Country. All right, let's talk about race for a minute with Brandon Tatum here, the host of the Officer Tatum show. I want to start with this lady who is a writer for the New Yorker, a magazine.

And tweets of hers have been exposed over the last couple of days, dating back, I believe, like, 2015. I'll just share with the audience some of what she's tweeted. There's actually a lot. I believe I have something like 13 different tweets that she's put out. but she says stuff like it's not you white people per se but it is everything that protects you so it can kill me it's not your face but it is so much your face um and then she says there's so many here two a days you've got so many up i really can't keep up with everything she says um but she she goes on and on let me see if i can turn around see some of the best ones here of course white

people don't bathe she tweets it's in their blood they lack hygiene literally started the bubonic plague lice and syphilis white people here's another one who literally started a plague because they couldn't wash their asses need never say they taught black people hygiene on and on white terrorism is a redundant phrase these are all from about 2015 she went on a tear in about 1415 the tolerability of racism is linked to how it's acted out on ground bodies. The Holocaust was not tolerable because of white victims. So it ended. I was just saying, therefore, the Holocaust, the only reason we pay attention to it is because I guess Jews have pale skin. Anyway, I see you laughing. But this lady has a job at the New Yorker.

She's filtered. She's whitewashed through, you know, mainstream media. This is somebody endorsed. By the way, the New Yorkers considered also the intelligentsia of the left. That's like high brow, right? This isn't. This isn't even MSNBC. That's one thing. You know, Joy Reid's one thing. This is another, the New Yorker, and this is out and out ugly racism. Yeah, it's unfortunate that human beings waste their time being so stupid.

It is asinine to me as a black person in America to sit up there and point the finger at white people. And I try not to do this will because people like to call me Uncle Tom Cunsell out for doing it. But I honestly believe that black people should be very thankful for white people. Not one of these knuckleheads would ever go live in an all black country. They will not. If the white man so bad, go live around nothing but black people. They will not. They don't even want to live in black neighborhoods in America.

The biggest threat to black Americans are black Americans. I don't know what other way to say it. I don't know what these people are thinking. I am never in my life been in a white neighborhood and felt like, oh, my God. I'm talking about my lifetime. I don't know what happened a hundred years ago. But in my lifetime, I've never been around white people and said, oh my God, I feel like one of them are going to kill me for no reason.

But when I grew up, when I was growing up in an all-black neighborhood, it was a real threat that you go down the wrong street with the wrong color zone, you'll get killed. You look at somebody the wrong way. They think you're banging. You'll get killed. Black people rob. You're going to get robbed?

I mean, look at the TV. You don't see clips of. see clips of white people going and shooting a man. I just did a video just yesterday. A man got killed on live stream on Facebook getting robbed for a chain. Like, I've never seen a video where a white man robbed a black man for a chain and killed him. It's just, these things just don't happen. And so to capitulate or to continue to rant about woe is me, hate the white man, black people good, white people bad, is enormously stupid. There is historical kind of that alludes to the fact that there have always been good white people in this country since the foundation.

Not every white person owned a slave. Clearly there was a civil war where white people didn't own slaves and didn't believe in slavery against the ones who did. And guess who won? The white people who did not believe in slavery? Harry Tubman. What was she operating with the boogeyman and letting people into la la land? No, good white people help Harry Tubman free black people from slavery. What are we talking about?

Black people didn't get a chance to vote for them to be free. them to be free. White people voted for black people to be free. White people voted for black people to have citizenship. White people voted for black people to have the opportunity to vote. I just, it bothers me. Every time I see somebody do that, it's a waste of time. At the end of the day, we're all guys' children, and we all need to look at each other. Are you a good person or you're not a good person? Who cares about the color of your skin? Well, we're all got children, but be honest now, Brandon. Do you think our hygiene levels are different? Do you think when I... Do you think when I... Do you think...

think when I go outside and run around at recess in fifth grade that I came back, did you think I smelled like a wet dog? Now, you know the answer to this, because I've had enough black friends that have said that to me. Why do white people always smell like wet dogs when they sweat? So you can, are you going to take her side on hygiene? Well, look, man, white people may smell like wet dogs and black people smell like onion rings. So, I mean, what's the difference, man?

You're stinky, you're stinky, okay? If you're running outside and somehow you ain't stinky, then you ain't running. you must be walking that's right that's a great point who's running around outside coming back smelling like roses like what's the standard here can we even the playing field you ever been on a football field or a locker room which one comes back sounding like smelling like potpourri look man look man if you want to run it they run around they don't want to get their hair wet they don't want to get sweaty and the honest of the stuff and hey maybe that's why the obesity level is where it's that maybe you should run like the white people instinct maybe but i think i think it's a it's a

that black people have have endeavored in when I was growing up that's what we thought it was so ignorant the white people don't know the white people don't heard it and it's like yeah it's like wow you know and now I'm grown and I have a lot of white friends my wife is white you know she don't run around smell like a wet dog and my wife probably had a bit best hygiene than anybody I know so what are the people talking about it's just a way to hate another group and I think it's a lot of jealousy yeah because some people didn't make good decision in their life they mad at white people for it. I don't get it. Hey, have you ever, you haven't done this,

I don't think, I haven't done it, I don't know that I will. Jubilee debates, they're really interesting. They're kind of, they're kind of food-fighty, but they take a person who has a point of view, they surround them with people who have a different point of view, and these people take turns debating that person one at a time, and the crowd can raise a red flag when they think that person's like, they've done a poor job, and it's time to replace them. Well, I don't know who this lady is, but the latest

Jubilee debate is this like, she's a social justice warrior, you know, woke activist type. I don't really know who she is, but she's surrounded by black conservatives. And I just saw a clip this morning, Officer Tatum. I just saw it this morning. I only saw one or two. I was like, ooh, this is kind of hot. This is kind of interesting. So I thought we'd listen to it together. I don't know which one the guys picked, but this is from that debate. Our ancestors wasn't asking for handouts. They were asking for, they were asking for equal opportunity. And we have equal opportunity in this country. We had a black president, just in case you didn't know. We had a black president. and we had a black vice president.

I mean, I think she was black. They said she was black. I don't know. So we had a black president, and you know who voted for that black man? White people. Because you can't win a popular election in this country without white people.

So Barack Obama is the product of white people. So let's get off this thing where, oh, America is so racist. What's making America so racist? It's people that continue to talk about race. and continue to focus on racism. All right, so that's, it's actually, so Jubilee Media produces it.

It's called Surrounded, and that was a black conservative dude cooking. I never heard from her. And by the way, I did see one, I hadn't seen that clip before. I saw an even younger guy going at her, and it was some back and forth. And honestly, man, she just does, that, the side of the argument that she represents, it's so stylistic. Like, it's not logical. it's like performative.

You know, she puts her head in her hands and she says like these, these, what would be the, how do you, what do you call it like in logic? It's like, it's statements that stand on their own, meaning they don't have support underneath. And this kid's rattling off stats and evidence and boom, boom, boom, and he's hitting her and she's performing and thinking she's doing really well.

I don't know. I just found it fascinating. And I thought, you know, it would be curious to see you in that situation, but you be the one surrounded by, you know, 20 people that disagree with you. Yeah, you know, those things are very interesting, you know, sound bites and clips do the best, you know, watching that thing for a whole hour, probably give you a headache. And yeah, I thought they were going to start a culinary art school the way they were in their cooking because she was just getting paid up by everybody. I mean, there wasn't a person that sat down that didn't eat her alive because the points that these leftists people make are just insufferable.

They make no sense. And I think the word you were looking for is anecdotal. Like she will come up with an anecdotal situation to justify an entire point with no statistical data points, with no historical context. And that's the way people think. And let me tell you this. She is the epitome of an immature mind. When I was 14, I thought like her. But when you become an adult, you should be able to think outside of the box and use critical thinking, context, clues, and use some level of research.

search to get to a base point of what you believe. White people are not killing black people in America. I've never seen a clansman a day in my life. If that was a problem in the past, it is no longer an issue today. There is no longer excuses for us not to be successful. If you are work hard and you live the American dream, meaning doing things right, you put God first, you will do well in America and many black people do well. Most black people are in the middle class.

People like her don't recognize that, but most black people in the middle class. It's only a small few black people that are nutty that's out here thugging and gang banging and sagging their pants and not take care of their kids. You know, to me, that's just a small minority of the overarching view of what black people are. Now, I think that black people politically

are the silliest people on planet Earth because they vote for one party, which gives them zero leverage. But in the context of reality, and to be honest, most black people are conservative, they just have been brainwashed and they have been lured into the fact that the Democrats are the party for them.

And this lady is no different. And it's funny because her audience is on there saying, girl, you cooked, girl, you killed it on here. In reality, there's nobody. There's nobody except Helen Keller, I guess. But nobody will be able to watch that, listen to that, and think that she did a good job. These black men, I wish the narrative of the black men

that you see on here was the prevailing narrative in the country. I think that young black men from inner cities and middle class will become as prosperous as we've seen any black people that are in a prominent position. But we're brainwashed to think that we're second-class citizens when we're not. We're brainwashed to think that we don't have opportunities that's right in front of us. We're brainwashed to think the white man hates us when the white man is probably our biggest ally. All of the people that have mentored me in my life that have helped me become successful in business and they're all been white guys. and they don't look at me as the color of my skin.

They look at me because I'm a decent human being and they want to grow and be successful with me. So I hate that black people have fallen for the okie dog. All right, I want to talk about this with you as well before we go off the time. So this story is, it's going to be big. I think it's growing.

And the story is this illegal immigrant from India. He crossed the border, I believe, in 2018, in California from Mexico illegally. First Trump administration brought in, got away, eventually a couple of days rather he was detained. He claimed asylum status, fear for his life back in India. I believe that status was granted for a period of time. He overstayed that visa. He's still here 2025.

So he is an illegal immigrant. Somehow, somehow he has a commercial driver's license, a CDL. And there's only some states that even offer you a driver, a plane resident driver's license. license if you're an illegal immigrant. So I don't know how you're going the next step and getting a CDL. And there's video of this. And I think we can play it as we're talking about it. It's out there.

He's driving an 18 wheeler. It looks like to me he flips a U-turn and an 18-wheeler in the middle of a highway. I don't know if there's a quick turnabout right there. And you can see... It's not quick. It's one of those put-outs where the police park at. You can't pull an 18-wheeler through that thing. Yeah, that's right.

Right. There's no slowdown. That's exactly right. Like a passenger car is not supposed to turn around right there. And he's got an 18-wheeler. And, of course, somebody driving along on the inside lane, because I'm sure he had to do it from the outside lane, T-Bones into his tractor trailer, and he kills three people.

We have done this story on the Will Kane show about CDLs and English proficiency requirements, and why do we have people driving with commercial driver's license that can't speak English and all these different things. But, I mean, is it too much to actually? Ask that you be a legal resident of the United States if you're driving a frickin 18 wheeler? Yeah, there's so many things wrong with this.

You know, the fact that he's illegal is already bad enough. I don't know what he was thinking. Like, you don't even need to be, I don't have a CDL driver license. It would never make a U-turn on a freeway. I mean, you don't even have to speak English to look at the fact that you're driving 70 miles by hour on freeway. and you come to a stop. You can't turn an 18-wheeler at 40 miles per hour.

You had to drop down to about 20, 15 miles per hour. To make a turn from the wide lane, you can't use your mirror. You're not looking in your mirror that a car is going 70 miles per hour and you make a turn. And the weird thing is, Will, is that he didn't seem to even care. If I made a U-turn to somebody crashes into my car. In the video, you're totally right. Really quick.

For anybody that's listening on radio or Spotify or Apple, just because you can't see the video. It's infuriating. But his face does not change the slightest bit when somebody dies plowing into him, to your point, officer. Dyes. You knew that it was instant death. The whole van went under the trailer

at probably 60, 70 miles per hour. I don't even think they hit the brakes. So he watched him crash into his trailer. Any rational person, I wondered did he do it intentionally, but any rational person would be like, oh crap, I'm going to prison or, oh, crap, I'm illegal and I'm driving 18 wheeler. Or oh, crap, I killed somebody. How about just, forget the punishment.

I took somebody's life. At least he would ponder one of those things instantaneously. Or when he's on the side of the road, they got a quick video of him on the side of the road where he's looking at the carnage. They're probably putting sheets over and pulling dead people out of the car. and he's just sitting there like he don't know what's going on that's the most insane thing ever and I will venture to this point

and I'm not a mean person trust me I believe in God and I believe in forgiveness and redemption but I think that people that come into our country illegal and kill people they got to get put to death it would be the death penalty

you cannot you cannot come to America and kill somebody here this was egregious and he's not going to do any time in prison what they're going to do detain him then deport him

And then he might come back. Who are they going to deport them to? India? Like, this stuff is out of control. And it's creating animosity and hatred towards people who migrate here. We have to make sure we have a determination of the difference. Now, me personally, I'm done with immigration at this point. We got enough people.

We need to suspend immigration for a period of time. And least until we get the system fixed and we can figure out how to vet these people coming over here. We don't need more H-1B visas. We don't need more people working in the fields. We need Americans to get back to work. learn a skill. I don't care what you do. Go to work. If it's vacant, then, hey, people are going to feel the gap. Americans have always done it in history of this country. We need to get rid of this stuff, man. They're letting too many people over here that don't assimilate. If you want to come to America, you have to speak English. I don't need to try to learn the language to talk to you. I don't need to try to change the pamphlet. I don't want to talk on the phone and hear Spanish and English. It's English, man. If you want to be here and speak English. If I I go to another country that English is not a proficient language there, then I'm not going to go to that country. I'm going to learn the native language.

You don't have a right to be in America. If you flip that, if I go to India or hell, if I go to Mexico, do they accommodate my English everywhere I go? Like, everywhere I go, I go, I go to the government offices. I go to this. I can't speak. Oh, we've got a pamphlet here for you as well to get by in English and bring over this guy. He's going to make sure. No, they don't.

Somebody said it well. If I went to El Salvador, refuse to love. learn their language, didn't obey their customs, didn't obey their laws, would I be allowed to then just be entitled to their entire social safety net and retain and stay there as long as I potentially want? It doesn't work this way anywhere. Why does it have to work this way in America? I think it's a scheme, like a Ponzi scheme situation. I think that certain people want to influx the population so they can have benefits, whether it be cheap labor, whether it be you know, curating the population

so they can have more electorate college votes and also House of Representatives. They can win votes and elections by having illegals voting their elections. All they got to do is give them handouts and they turn into a permanent victim class like the black people were done. You know, the same thing happened to black people.

They were flourishing all this. They turned them into a victim class and they had them voting for them for, I don't know how many years. Black people still voting overwhelmingly for the Democrats because they created a victim class. They're trying to influx as many people in this country to do the same thing

to illegal aliens. Hey, we're going to give you amnesty. Hey, we're going to give you all the benefits of being in America. Hey, come to America. Everything is free. Everything is going to work out for you. We'll change the language for you. They do all that to get these people in here.

And then they manipulate their votes and put them permanently on the victim class, permanently on the government dole. That's what the objective is. It's not because they care about people. They let them get sex traffic when they come over here. Women are getting raped. And they got these rape trees, what they call them, where they got women pantyholes on the trees, you know, elevating how many women they've taken advantage of. You know, they get over here in the country, and I don't know how many kids are lost.

They don't know where these kids at. Where they get 200,000 kids are something crazy? They don't know where these kids are at. Pantyhose in the trees? I never heard of a rape tree. Pantyho's on the tree? Yeah, yeah. What they do is they take advantage of these women and they put their panty hole on the tree,

and it's a tree full of them. And therefore, they mark how many women that they have taken advantage of and they put them on a tree. Come on. Border Patrol agents, if you talk to a Border Patrol agents, they'll tell you, you can look at it online they got the tree up i mean i'm looking at my guy ed who used to work down in south texas he's a police officer south texas he's nodding he said it wasn't panty hose he said it was something else brawes and underwear yeah brawes and underwell who wears panty hose officer tatum you know i'm trying not to say nobody wearing pantyhose yeah i'm trying

not to say the other stuff but you give what i'm saying they got they got stuff on there that indicate that they have taken advantage of young women i'm sorry now i didn't mean pan it hole like the stuff that you wear. I'm talking about the underwear is what I'm trying to say. So, thanks for correcting. Now, that's terrible. I had no idea about that. I had no idea. No, no. That's what they do. They put women's garments on there and all kind of stuff. Crazy. All right, check him out on the Officer Tatum show. I love having them on both of my programs.

You have no idea what's actually happening in the real world. You're lost. I'm sorry. I don't mean to be mean. This is a welcoming environment.

I want everybody from the left to come here and have this debate, but you're going to have to check your information bubble because you are out to lunch. You are gone. You have no idea what's happening in the real world. you think these European leaders are in Washington, D.C. And I know that some of you think you have the answer, like something, it appears in some language that I don't know, 70, 70. Thank you, everyone who is coming and to make sure Zelensky is treated with dignity and

the respect he deserves. Hashtag, Ukraine is not for sale. Do you really think that all of these people are storming the White House? Which, by the way, I thought that was an insurrection. think the leader of NATO is coming uninvited to have Zelensky's back to the White House so he doesn't get mistreated the way he did last time? Do you really think that's how it works? You think Mark Root, who, by the way, seems to love Trump. Is there to stand shoulder to shoulder with Zelensky against Trump? Fireman's gaming channel says Zelensky is just out for himself.

His people do not even want him as a leader. Have you seen the polling on Ukraine, by the way? They want this war over. They do not want to keep fighting. And then Janice Spencer, on YouTube says, were they invited? I have no idea why they are there, but they should mind their own business. I'm sure they were invited, Janice, otherwise they wouldn't be there. Really quickly here, it's time now for us to return to the New York City Navy Sealswim. I would love to just bring you behind the scenes a little bit. First of all, I told you a little bit about this earlier, some of the things that we did,

like grabbing an American flag and running down Liberty. state park. It's really, really inspiring. The whole thing is to benefit the Navy SEAL Foundation. You can support these guys by donating there. They take care of SEALs after their life of service. And yeah, we're shirtless all day long. I'm long past, by the way. I'm long past self-consciousness. I really am. Great, man. I mean, I'm not going to lie. I do care. I do care. Like, I work out ahead of time. But, like, I'm looking at myself and I'm like, maybe I should do the massive, you know, supplement diet. here in September. May I should just lose a little extra change? No, I'm not going to do it with you, Ed. I got

something else on my plate. I just got throwing a challenge down, and I'm not too happy about it. You're going to find out about it later today. It's by the Secretary of Defense. I'm not too happy about it. I did it. Get this. I brought one of my college water polo teammates. He's a stud. He's a national team. Now he's an Olympic coach, Jack

Coker. And then randomly, I'm telling you, a third polo teammate. Paul Towers showed up. So I had three water polo teammates. Three of us, from 30 years ago from Pepperdine, Go Waves, did it. This is a lot of the SEALs. If you're watching on YouTube or on Facebook, we visited with the Ronald McDonald House. By the way, I appreciate you saying I'll look great.

Context is everything. This is bad context. This is really bad context. They're shredded, dude. They're shredded. I know. And by the way, a lot of these guys are my friends now. I just see, like, you got, let me get here so I don't stand in front of it.

You got Jeff Gum, you got Jason Redman, Kaj Larson, you got Rob Sweetman, Ray Care. I mean, these guys are studs. This is Scott Ruskin, the guy who saved all the kids in the Guadalupe River. He's in this lineup of dudes right here. And one thing I learned about these guys, like, I'm in the middle there. You know, not completely out of place, but look at their midsections. It's wild. Not just their six-packs and their abs, but the thickness of it, the thickness of their mid-sections.

Like, I don't have that, like, you do not want to wrestle these dudes. How do you build a midsection like that? I don't know. Lots of crunches. Killing bad guys? Then we take up flags. We run through the streets of Manhattan. It's incredible.

Bagpipes play in. New York fire department engines blowing their horns. It's just an absolutely incredible, incredible day. That's Mitch Aguard, who joined us a little bit earlier. Ripped. You don't want to, you don't, you don't, just totally ripped. Yeah. You don't want to mess.

with Mitch. He had my back, along with Rob Sweetman all day long. And then we all hit O'Harris. There was some more push-ups. Guys weren't done. There was more push-ups at O'Harris. While we had a good time afterwards. Let's leave it there. Brent Seriano, by the way,

is a member of the Willisha. He's one of our good friends. He's been a long-time listener of Wilcane Country, and we love that Brent has in the last two years joined us every year in New York and been a part of us. Look at you all dressed up. never seen you with a shirt on, Brent.

Well, I was going to say the same thing, man. I was like, I think two years I've seen you with the shirt off in short shorts, man. You're trying to mix it up a little bit. I also didn't want Officer Tatum, you know, to get all the glory. So I threw a jacket on. Well, by the way, the shorts are getting shorter every year. I'm going to have to mix in some leg days if these shorts keep getting shorter. I mean, uh, I mean, at this point, we're basically in a speedo.

Why are you doing it, Brent? Like, what inspired you? I know you and I were hanging out this Saturday and you told me, like, first of all like did you learn about this through us through will cane country and then but you have a you told me like you're there to honor people in your family yeah absolutely actually i've been following this new york city navy seal swim on fox news on fox and friends weekends for for years and you know i try to put together a challenge every year for myself and so two years ago i said let me try to do that and so i went and started putting the work in and contacted bill brown and

a few folks at the navy seal foundation on what i needed to do as a civilian pay in order to qualify for the swim. So I was following that because as a patriotic individual, I've always been a supporter of our military, our veterans, our armed forces, first responders. And my family, both my grandfather served honorably in World War II in the Air Force and the Navy. My father-in-law served in Vietnam. My wife's grandmother wrote letters to fallen soldiers in World War II to their families. And so the military has always been an important part.

And anything I can do to show support for that is why I want to do it. So if we can raise money and raise awareness to the Navy SEAL Foundation and their continued mission to support transition services to special warfighters, it's just a noble cause. And I'll tell you what, what a humbling experience it is to participate in that event and be around all of those special warfighters, veterans, first responders, and other patriots. to me, it really puts into perspective just what those guys fight for. And it's just great to be a part of it.

Totally inspiring. Totally inspiring. And by way, Brent wasn't the only member of the Wulisha. I met several others, guy named Cody. I don't remember Cody's last name, but I swam and ran with him several times. He's Wilcane Country viewer and listener. And then O'Hara's people that didn't swim or run but still showed up the kind of party. I met several who are fans of Wilcane Country.

The point isn't like, oh, look at us. The point is I love the community. I love this. I love that we're building a community that not just, I never wanted it to be a one-way relationship, I wanted to be a two-way relationship, a two-way conversation. I love that all you guys are jumping in and starting to do this stuff. And I consider Brent a real pioneering it. All right, man, tell me about Barge 2.

I didn't see you. I don't know how it went for you. And by way, Brent, you train. I don't think you grew up a swimmer if I remember correctly. So it's not necessarily your, like, I'm going to be honest with you. I texted SECDF. And I was like, I don't think this was the day for you, man. Like, this was not a day if you didn't feel confident in the water.

And I'm telling you, as somebody who was way overconfident, it hit me at that second bar, it's like, oh, my God, this ain't good. Yeah, so I was a college baseball player. So swimming, you know, definitely not my 4K as far as just recreational. So I probably put in 180 miles worth of training up into this swim. But I'll tell you, nothing would have prepared me for what happened on bars too. And if you go back to the first leg of the swim, you know, it was really. way rougher than last year. I mean, I got kind of was getting pushed towards the Statue of Liberty.

I think my watch had me at 55 minutes at only 1, which means I was working to try to get back to Barge 1. So I remember getting on Barge 1 and talking to some of the other swimmers like, hey, well, at least we've got a current assist for the second leg, which we did because I was cruising into Barge 2, but I couldn't see any of commotion because I'm probably spotting every 25 strokes. And so when I was cruising up to the middle ladder, I didn't realize there was an until I was probably five or six yards out. And by that time, I was already in the suck, so to speak, right? And so I got thrown up against to the barge and could not keep my head above water for a

period of time. I kept getting sucked underneath the water. I tried to use my fins to push off the barge to go back because guys up top were saying get away from the ladder, get away from the ladder. The problem was I couldn't get away from the ladder. I kept getting slammed back in. And it wasn't until I could grab one. of those really thin yellow ladder stabilizing ropes that the ladder was attached to the actual

barge in order to grab a hand on but remember you've got five the 15 other swimmers behind my arrival time and so when i was trying to push back i was getting hit from other swimmers back onto the barge and i had nothing to grab onto and i had people grabbing my shoulder and i remember this lady next to me she was in tears up against the barge because they were yelling down from us get away and she just she couldn't get away and so that's what she was crying about so i went under water several times tried to push off i took my swim buoy and poured it in front of me and tried to put it beneath my legs to try to get my head above water and it wasn't until i grabbed the bottom yellow rope where i could put my knee on top of the rope to stabilize myself and lift up a little

bit that i could i told that lady i never saw her front outside the water just to grab onto my arm because i was stable and they were we were just able to kind of say somewhat you know stabilize, even the waves and stuff were crashing, and we were able to get up all onto the ladder. But I told my wife after that, I said, listen, in my mind, I said, I'm not going to die today. That's literally what was going through my head while I was in that water because I was getting sucked up, sucked down, and finally got out. But it was hairy, man. Did you go up the ladder? Brent, did you ultimately get up the ladder?

Do you swim around the side? No, I ultimately went up the ladder. In a retrospect, if I would have seen and what I went through at the ladder, I would have rather gone. the side of the barge and had one of the jet ski guys grabbed me because that was that was rough by the ladder oh man that is a hell it's a hairy story yeah i mean i don't want to like create a big fish story and and i think everybody's concerned about i mean i've done this you know i don't know how many years now three or four years it's never been anything like that but it just also shows you what at the mercy of mother nature you you truly are like when you're in big water like that and what a real

occurrence is and I mean it can humble it I'll say this it humbled dudes that are not used to being humbled let's just put it that way and it was um it was something I'm glad you're safe man I'm glad everything worked out I know everybody's safe everybody's safe everybody got out but it really emphasized for me like I love inviting people to do this I think it's a bonding thing but you better train like that's when everything's perfect that's when the conditions are perfect this I mean the training literally saved you yeah 100% I mean my water competency I thought was I was very confident I mean I had swam three days a week with the triathlete swim group at six the morning and it open water swims every Saturday so I'm swimming four days a week probably 15 miles a week up until this event just for normal conditions but if it wasn't for just my confidence in swimming I probably would have had some panic not that I didn't have a little bit of panic setting in because just at the environment we were in but at least was confident enough to where I could keep my head above water and stroke and do what I could to stabilize myself. But, yeah, I mean, if you, I guess if you're thinking about doing this, I encourage you to do

it, but, you know, it's an amazing event, great camaraderie. Just put the work in, right? You never know what the conditions are going to be. Right. Love having you there, man. Love you hanging out with this and listening. Brent said, boy, I heard you last week when you were with talking about James Tolerico, you were really worked up. I don't hear you that often. That worked up. So he knows enough to know when I'm worked up and when I'm when I'm normal will but I really appreciate you man I appreciate you doing this every year it is an incredibly inspiring event it is all for awesome causes um you know and it's primarily for the Navy SEAL foundation raising money for there and I would encourage everybody you know if you want to give back that's a great place to give back
