• 3:23
  We'll be on from 7 a.m. Until
• 3:25
  830 a.m. And I'm going to give
• 3:29
  you a preview.
• 3:31
  I might actually have to push that.
• 3:32
  I have so much stuff to talk about
• 3:34
  on that end.
• 3:37
  I might take another day.
• 3:38
  Who knows?
• 3:39
  I might do something.
• 3:40
  I might even do something on the weekends.
• 3:42
  I keep threatening to do my Russian show
• 3:45
  on the weekends, but I haven't done it.
• 3:48
  I really need to schedule it in and
• 3:50
  get it in because I'm negligent.
• 3:53
  I'm not giving enough Russian content and I
• 3:56
  have so much of it and I have
• 3:57
  a decent number of followers over there.
• 3:59
  I'm only 15,000.
• 4:00
  I'm nobody but have it out there and
• 4:02
  do my Russian version and get some more.
• 4:08
  And so they don't miss out on the
• 4:12
  beauty of International Flavor and Civic Outlaws in
• 4:16
  Russia and I'm going to enjoy doing it.
• 4:19
  Anyway, the Church of England got its first
• 4:22
  female leader.
• 4:24
  I think this is important stuff here.
• 4:26
  People need to know that, you know, and
• 4:28
  she's laughing the picture of her.
• 4:30
  Now, she is coming from Russian news, by
• 4:33
  the way, and the picture of her.
• 4:34
  I think they're partially making fun of it
• 4:36
  and the story didn't really go all that
• 4:40
  far, but I think they're against that kind
• 4:42
  of thing and I'm, what do I want
• 4:46
  to say?
• 4:46
  I'm agnostic.
• 4:47
  I don't have any, it doesn't matter to
• 4:50
  me.
• 4:51
  I'm, I can't remember the word.
• 4:54
  It's somebody, you know, I don't give a
• 4:55
  crap one way or the other.
• 4:56
  That's a bad thing to say because most
• 4:59
  of the time I do give a crap
• 5:00
  one way or the other and when I
• 5:01
  say I don't give a crap one the
• 5:03
  other, I say let people live as they
• 5:05
  like to live and or as their situation
• 5:08
  demands, you know, that is something you don't
• 5:11
  get a control and other people and you
• 5:14
  know, I had this discussion with my sister
• 5:16
  the other day and the discussion was people.
• 5:22
  And because as the older you get in
• 5:24
  life, and I'm really not that old.
• 5:27
  I talk about it all the time, but
• 5:29
  I'm really not that old and I feel
• 5:31
  the same as I did, you know, 10
• 5:32
  years ago.
• 5:33
  I don't care, but your thought processes are
• 5:35
  a little bit different as you get older.
• 5:37
  And so here's my lecture for grandchildren of
• 5:39
  the ages, you know, for people to listen
• 5:41
  to and every, it always depends on the
• 5:44
  people that you bring into your life and
• 5:46
  you allow them in.
• 5:47
  I allow everybody in.
• 5:49
  I mean, I've never, I don't know.
• 5:51
  I'm not a discriminatory person.
• 5:53
  I think people are amazing, whatever they're doing,
• 5:58
  whatever the type it is.
• 5:59
  Everybody's got their goods and everybody's got their
• 6:02
  bads and I'm not truly believe this.
• 6:04
  It's like and truthfully, I like the bad
• 6:09
  people as much as I like to good
• 6:11
  people, you know what I mean?
• 6:13
  And and who and I always thought who
• 6:15
  the hell am I to decide who's good
• 6:17
  and who's bad?
• 6:19
  I got bad points, you know, you know,
• 6:22
  but I'm generally on the good team, you
• 6:24
  know, you come generally, I believe I'm a
• 6:26
  generally a positive influence in the circle of
• 6:30
  people that I know and the and the
• 6:33
  groups that I hang out with but some
• 6:36
  people disagree with that.
• 6:39
  Some people think I'm the Antichrist and that,
• 6:41
  you know, it's I don't understand that thought
• 6:43
  process either because I've generally been a just
• 6:47
  an open dude and you know, I tell
• 6:50
  things the way I see them, but I
• 6:53
  honor what you say, you know, I don't
• 6:55
  I don't care if you I don't know
• 6:58
  like Joe Biden doesn't bother me.
• 7:01
  I don't give it was like, well, there's
• 7:02
  an interesting perspective.
• 7:04
  I don't agree with it.
• 7:05
  But you know, there's a perspective.
• 7:06
  Well people take these perspectives and turn them
• 7:09
  into hate and that I don't understand that
• 7:14
  I that part is beyond the comprehension of
• 7:18
  Sam because I don't believe in that kind
• 7:21
  of thing.
• 7:22
  I don't believe that you that everyone or
• 7:25
  there are I don't even believe necessarily that
• 7:28
  there are bad people.
• 7:30
  There are people with differing points of view,
• 7:33
  you know, there are people that break the
• 7:35
  law and remember breaking the law in some
• 7:38
  places is not breaking the law and others
• 7:40
  one of the things that you get a
• 7:42
  little bit hard to understand okay is in
• 7:45
  many other countries and I won't name one
• 7:51
  because I don't want to get into philosophical
• 7:53
  debate over it, but in other countries.
• 7:58
  The system is such that you have to
• 8:03
  comply with a system that is totally different
• 8:07
  and requires a different thought process in America.
• 8:11
  When you say you have freedom of speech
• 8:13
  that all by itself is a masterful thing.
• 8:22
  Okay, and it changes everything about you and
• 8:27
  it changes it has certainly changed or allowed
• 8:30
  the Sam trap that I know and I'm
• 8:34
  Samuel now.
• 8:35
  I prefer Samuel instead of Sam, but you
• 8:38
  know, it's not that I decline anything.
• 8:40
  I don't know.
• 8:41
  It's really weird.
• 8:41
  I always thought when I was a kid
• 8:42
  out of brother named Clifford Michael he passed
• 8:45
  away his same name as my dad.
• 8:48
  He was Clifford Michael trap the third and
• 8:51
  he is one of the he's a genius,
• 8:55
  you know, the he would and truly that
• 8:58
  guy was so smart.
• 9:00
  I mean, I always used to go Jesus.
• 9:03
  This is the guy who's so smart that
• 9:05
  he will wander around and bump into walls,
• 9:08
  you know, because he's so smart.
• 9:11
  He's the guy who used to sit and
• 9:12
  meditate.
• 9:13
  We'd go out mom and say get outside,
• 9:15
  you know, because there are 12 of us
• 9:18
  running around the house and we'd go outside
• 9:21
  play.
• 9:22
  We'd go out in Mike.
• 9:25
  Well, we called him Mike back.
• 9:27
  Then he then he switched to Cliff then
• 9:29
  he switched to Michael then he switched to
• 9:31
  Clifford back to Mike Clinton.
• 9:33
  You never knew when you called him what
• 9:35
  you were supposed to call him and you
• 9:38
  know, he I think he I think everybody
• 9:40
  that's a second and I have a second
• 9:43
  there's a Sam Sam Sam trap to is
• 9:47
  what I call him Sam trap.
• 9:48
  Also also wick Sam trap also and but
• 9:53
  my Clifford Michael trap the third he took
• 9:56
  my father's name and his own name and
• 9:59
  then he changed him around and I remember
• 10:01
  when I was a kid and he was
• 10:03
  he skipped two grades and he was truly
• 10:08
  he's a genius and he was doing computer
• 10:11
  stuff and I was you say well, he's
• 10:12
  one of those guys that sits in a
• 10:14
  closet all day and programs COBOL and Fortran
• 10:17
  and these ancient languages.
• 10:19
  Remember me yesterday talking about the the well,
• 10:23
  I can't remember what the name of the
• 10:25
  computers are but the the old ones that
• 10:27
  the state as 400s, you know, he would
• 10:30
  have programmed stuff to run all of those
• 10:32
  databases in the background right which took particular
• 10:35
  language and way back remember when computers Were
• 10:38
  the size of a room and you'd see
• 10:40
  them in the James Bond movies are in
• 10:43
  the NASA movies of things going forward back
• 10:46
  in those times when when when my father
• 10:49
  had those cassette reel to reels my dad
• 10:54
  would listen to stuff on the reel to
• 10:57
  reel when I had in my room in
• 10:59
  my bedroom.
• 11:00
  I had my father's one of them and
• 11:04
  I don't know and he switched him around
• 11:06
  a lot.
• 11:06
  He used to have a he had a
• 11:07
  on the side.
• 11:08
  He would had some little some little store
• 11:10
  that he ran called the hob and knob
• 11:12
  my father did and you know, we went
• 11:15
  we would go and work at that store
• 11:17
  with him or stand around and do nothing
• 11:19
  while he sold stuff to people and he
• 11:22
  repaired old television.
• 11:23
  So I had in my room an old
• 11:24
  hi-fi system that sat that stood on
• 11:27
  the on the you know, you and I
• 11:30
  shared a room with my brother of course
• 11:31
  and he he's born June 18th, and I'm
• 11:35
  born June 17th a year later.
• 11:38
  So he's only 364 days older than me
• 11:41
  right and so he and I shared a
• 11:43
  room all the time and he and I
• 11:47
  had this you were the one where you
• 11:49
  have to lift up the center portion of
• 11:52
  that to get to the console and in
• 11:54
  the console you would you know, you lift
• 11:57
  it up and there's a there's a turntable
• 12:00
  in there and you can play 33 records
• 12:03
  and 78 and I had we had butt
• 12:06
  loads of those records the first one I
• 12:08
  ever bought the first record ever bought was
• 12:11
  tragedy by the Bee Gees.
• 12:13
  I paid a dollar for it and not
• 12:15
  even I think we're like 79 cents and
• 12:18
  I paid for that and then my first
• 12:20
  album.
• 12:21
  I bought was out of the blue the
• 12:23
  big the big fold album the double fold
• 12:26
  album from from ELO electric light Orchestra and
• 12:32
  I was a huge fan of that album
• 12:35
  and of that stuff and then when my
• 12:36
  brothers would leave because I'd we had we
• 12:39
  had there were groups of us there was
• 12:42
  Clifford the genius David the David was all
• 12:47
  David is awesome.
• 12:48
  He lives he lives in Florida and Brazil.
• 12:51
  He goes back and forth.
• 12:52
  He's got a wife in Brazil and he
• 12:54
  goes back and forth there and he and
• 12:56
  I he stays in a place a lot
• 13:00
  of times the same put my place his
• 13:01
  place whatever you want to call it in
• 13:03
  Florida.
• 13:04
  We swap it off and sometimes my wife
• 13:06
  is there from from Egypt and sometimes not
• 13:10
  and you know, she's an awesome person and
• 13:13
  we do we do our travels together and
• 13:16
  but we generally live separately now and and
• 13:19
  that's okay.
• 13:20
  You know, she she's in Egypt right now
• 13:22
  and it'd be fun to get her on
• 13:24
  the on the show and have her talk
• 13:27
  about some of that because she speaks Arabic
• 13:29
  speaks Turkish.
• 13:31
  She speaks Russian.
• 13:32
  She speaks English.
• 13:34
  She speaks Tatar and when you speak Tatar
• 13:38
  that means you speak about four or five
• 13:40
  other dialects over there.
• 13:41
  So when we go to Kazakhstan and we
• 13:43
  go to Azerbaijan, well, we haven't been to
• 13:46
  Azerbaijan yet.
• 13:47
  We want to and I'm at 57 countries
• 13:51
  and she's at 80.
• 13:54
  780 86 8 788.
• 13:56
  I don't remember and she is telling me
• 14:01
  to come to Egypt because she's in Cairo
• 14:04
  right now.
• 14:05
  And one of the reasons I want to
• 14:06
  go to Cairo is see that brand new
• 14:10
  Museum that they built.
• 14:13
  I like to go and do stuff like
• 14:15
  that and she travels differently.
• 14:17
  She just is ticking off ticking off countries
• 14:20
  and I don't like to travel.
• 14:22
  I don't like travel like that.
• 14:25
  I want to go and tick off.
• 14:27
  Life events, you know, I want to go
• 14:29
  and tick off.
• 14:31
  Well, I got to see personally the pyramids.
• 14:35
  I got to see I told you yesterday
• 14:37
  about the Bosphorus Straits.
• 14:42
  I got to see what they used to
• 14:43
  call years and years ago Constantinople and now
• 14:47
  is Istanbul and that is a fabulous city
• 14:53
  fabulous people.
• 14:55
  People are so nice and you know, if
• 14:58
  you go to other countries and you're nice
• 14:59
  to people, I guarantee you though, they'll generally
• 15:02
  be nice to you.
• 15:04
  And one of the things that probably has
• 15:05
  developed my worldview more than anything is the
• 15:12
  various points of view that I've been able
• 15:15
  to put on I didn't intend to talk
• 15:17
  about all this this morning where my where
• 15:19
  my thought processes come from but sometimes it's
• 15:22
  just important and it's kind of the conversation
• 15:25
  with people of where they come from is
• 15:30
  really a very very important part of who
• 15:33
  they are and understanding the differences in how
• 15:39
  people were Raised where they came from what
• 15:43
  they do the difficulties they have had that
• 15:48
  really impacts who they are.
• 15:51
  I wouldn't be who I am today if
• 15:54
  it weren't for many many things in my
• 15:58
  life.
• 15:59
  My genius oldest brother.
• 16:01
  I mean there ain't there isn't a person
• 16:03
  that contacted him that wouldn't say that mofo
• 16:07
  is the smartest person I ever met now.
• 16:12
  He was weird, but that dude knew everything
• 16:15
  and his kids are fantastically genius like, you
• 16:22
  know, there's I remember one of them met
• 16:24
  him at I didn't even meet him.
• 16:26
  I don't even know these people and because
• 16:28
  we have such a spread out family.
• 16:30
  We were all gone.
• 16:31
  Hell my other my oldest brother he graduated
• 16:34
  college at like a really young age like
• 16:37
  21 to 20 something like that and he
• 16:40
  went and took his he was gone, you
• 16:43
  know, he was gone my second brother David.
• 16:45
  He was he didn't like he's a free
• 16:49
  spirit even as it he was gone.
• 16:51
  He hitchhiked across the USA at like age
• 16:54
  14.
• 16:55
  He just left and he went and showed
• 16:59
  up and we lived in Utah and he
• 17:01
  showed up at my grandmother's place and she
• 17:03
  booted him out and she told me I
• 17:05
  had to get you and she's like you
• 17:07
  weren't staying here kicked him out.
• 17:09
  I mean, he's he's got stories like you
• 17:12
  wouldn't believe because you know, he hitchhiked and
• 17:15
  he said he went to all over the
• 17:16
  country and he joined the Marines as a
• 17:18
  kid and went to went to Japan went
• 17:21
  to Okinawa.
• 17:23
  There's a base there and he's got I
• 17:25
  mean every one of my family has stories
• 17:27
  like that that they have just done interesting
• 17:31
  things in life.
• 17:32
  And so where people come from is extremely
• 17:35
  important as to what opinions and how they
• 17:39
  developed them and I only say all of
• 17:41
  this because you must you don't you don't
• 17:45
  must do anything.
• 17:46
  I wouldn't tell you you have to do
• 17:47
  anything but the smart people if you're going
• 17:50
  to be smart if you're gonna crack the
• 17:54
  next level as I like to call it
• 17:57
  if you ever have any hope of becoming
• 17:59
  my oldest brother the genius which there's there's
• 18:03
  something sometimes sometimes those geniuses you really got
• 18:09
  to be careful with because you'll get in
• 18:12
  lectures.
• 18:12
  He explored now.
• 18:14
  He didn't believe this but he explored and
• 18:17
  I had a discussion with him one day.
• 18:19
  Of course, he died six seven years ago
• 18:20
  and and he oh look Josh Holly's going
• 18:24
  gray.
• 18:24
  I'm telling you that guy's I'm watching Jr's
• 18:27
  TVs, but that guy so far.
• 18:30
  I only see a salesman there.
• 18:32
  That's it so far.
• 18:33
  I don't see much else except salesman and
• 18:35
  the only way he keeps getting pushed is
• 18:38
  is sales.
• 18:39
  The jury's out in my mind, you know,
• 18:41
  the jury's out of the jury has made
• 18:43
  a decision and the jury is out there
• 18:45
  deliberating on that guy and and and I
• 18:49
  deliberate I accept everyone first.
• 18:52
  That's the approach that you have with people.
• 18:54
  You accept everyone or you should and accept
• 18:58
  until you find out what their views are
• 19:00
  if you disagree with their views, that's fine,
• 19:05
  you know, no problem there.
• 19:06
  I don't care if you agree with me
• 19:07
  or disagree with me.
• 19:07
  I'm there.
• 19:08
  I'd be much more interested if you said
• 19:09
  well that was an interesting discussion or did
• 19:11
  interesting talk or you talked and you gave
• 19:14
  me something else interesting to ponder upon and
• 19:17
  you know pondering is a good thing and
• 19:20
  pondering makes you a little smarter makes you
• 19:22
  a little I don't know what more open
• 19:25
  to varying ideas to ideas that are not
• 19:27
  the same and if your name is trap
• 19:30
  or came from the famous and wonderful Clifford
• 19:34
  Michael trap the second who's my father he
• 19:38
  was also an extremely intelligent man and didn't
• 19:41
  he never finished high school, you know, he
• 19:44
  left worked in a circus with my mom
• 19:48
  and my dad.
• 19:49
  That's a great story.
• 19:51
  He worked in a circus.
• 19:53
  He had jeez by Tommy's 23 had five
• 19:55
  six kids, you know, mom was pregnant for
• 19:57
  like 10 years of her life.
• 20:01
  Mom was pregnant constantly and so you had
• 20:04
  groups of kids.
• 20:05
  He had the first four which is Clifford
• 20:07
  Michael David William Clayton Thomas and then there
• 20:11
  was a Joseph Carl and Joseph passed away
• 20:13
  when he was baby.
• 20:14
  And so I believe that had us and
• 20:17
  I wasn't around yet and I believe that
• 20:19
  was a serious impact on my mother and
• 20:22
  my father and the three kids that were
• 20:24
  there, you know that knew about it.
• 20:26
  My sister came along and started group group
• 20:30
  to I'd like to call them and I'm
• 20:32
  part of group two and that was Virginia
• 20:35
  that was Russell that was Samuel and that
• 20:40
  was Vicki Victoria.
• 20:41
  I think is Vicki Lynn Victoria Lynn Victor
• 20:43
  Victoria, but we always go we call her
• 20:46
  Vicki and all that that little group of
• 20:49
  four if you want to call them, you
• 20:50
  know, that group was a strong group, but
• 20:53
  that group was raised totally separate from the
• 20:56
  first group because the first group and there
• 20:58
  wasn't that much of a distance between Clayton
• 21:01
  and Virginia, but it was like three four
• 21:03
  years and then the next group boom, boom,
• 21:06
  boom, boom.
• 21:07
  Like I said, I'm only 364 days older
• 21:09
  than my brother.
• 21:10
  And so for one day a year, we're
• 21:12
  the same age.
• 21:13
  My sister is only I believe my sister
• 21:17
  the same calculation goes with her and my
• 21:19
  brother who's a year older because she's born
• 21:21
  in July.
• 21:22
  So there's two weeks that they're the same
• 21:23
  age, right?
• 21:25
  And then my sister Victoria, she's born in
• 21:28
  October, but there was a tiny bit of
• 21:29
  space between she was to I think to
• 21:31
  get two grades behind me, maybe three and
• 21:34
  but that that would end the second group
• 21:36
  and then there was some spread out there
• 21:39
  was there was a Mark and Matthew were
• 21:43
  twins and then there was a couple of
• 21:45
  years and there's a Susan and then way
• 21:48
  down the line.
• 21:50
  There is Callista and I always called her
• 21:52
  cholesterol and sometimes it bothered her sometimes not
• 21:56
  but that was cholesterol, but I was gone
• 21:58
  from the house when those kids were, you
• 22:02
  know, five six, you know, they were they
• 22:05
  were very young and I left and my
• 22:07
  older brother was gone when I was very
• 22:09
  young, you know, and I only saw him
• 22:11
  and have the stories about him coming out
• 22:13
  and mom saying go outside and we'd go
• 22:15
  out and try to play football and that
• 22:16
  dude was meditating in the middle of the
• 22:19
  field, you know, he'd sit in the middle
• 22:20
  field cross leg.
• 22:21
  It's like why the hell you got to
• 22:22
  do it in the middle of field.
• 22:24
  We're trying to play football suit in certain
• 22:26
  spaces.
• 22:26
  You must stand in and sit in and
• 22:28
  he was like Jesus dudes weird.
• 22:32
  He's a genius and he really was a
• 22:35
  genius but he played the flute and he
• 22:38
  he was extremely good at playing the flute.
• 22:40
  He could play any of the my favorite
• 22:44
  band.
• 22:44
  Well, one of my favorite bands is probably
• 22:46
  because of him as Jethro Tull and I
• 22:50
  saw Jethro Tull 50th anniversary in at the
• 22:53
  Vox theater in St. Louis.
• 22:57
  It was freaking awesome.
• 22:58
  And I took some girl with me because
• 23:00
  I, you know, wanted a date and I
• 23:01
  took took some girl with me and she's
• 23:03
  country and Western and she listened to both
• 23:05
  types of music country and Western and she
• 23:09
  didn't get it but she sure as hell
• 23:11
  didn't get Jethro Tull but I did and
• 23:14
  I loved every second of it because Jethro
• 23:17
  Tull was was one, you know, my oldest
• 23:20
  brother could play him all he would dance
• 23:21
  around the room doing the same crap that
• 23:24
  Ian what was his name that I used
• 23:27
  to know it the guy who was with
• 23:29
  Jethro Tull of course the founder of Jethro
• 23:32
  Tull Ian Anderson.
• 23:34
  And he could do it.
• 23:38
  I mean he had straggly hair you take
• 23:40
  the cross-eyed Mary the album the cross
• 23:42
  -eyed Mary was on aqua lung and you
• 23:44
  take the picture of the dude out front.
• 23:46
  That is my brother.
• 23:47
  No when you saw him one time he'd
• 23:51
  come home with weird stuff.
• 23:52
  He joined the army spoke German fluently.
• 23:55
  He he went to Defense Language Institute just
• 23:58
  like I did and learn learn German I
• 24:01
  think but he already knew German and so
• 24:02
  he was he was awesome at that and
• 24:05
  there's something about my family picking up languages.
• 24:09
  My oldest brother spoke German fluently.
• 24:14
  He was he spoke a little bit of
• 24:17
  Russian and some couple other things but I
• 24:21
  remember he took Russian in in grade school.
• 24:24
  They used to teach it in one of
• 24:26
  the schools.
• 24:27
  We're in somebody who's a Russian instructor and
• 24:29
  some people are always speaking Russian.
• 24:30
  Maybe that's where I picked Russian from I
• 24:33
  had two choices when I went in they
• 24:34
  said I could have Arabic or I could
• 24:36
  have Russian and I feel like partially maybe
• 24:39
  Arabic would have been a better a better
• 24:42
  life choice.
• 24:45
  Not that I don't love.
• 24:46
  I love the fact that I learned Russian
• 24:48
  so deeply and intimately that I can speak
• 24:52
  fluently on it in just about any subject
• 24:55
  you want to talk about it expands your
• 24:58
  mind and where you come from right and
• 25:00
  so all these things that I've been rambling
• 25:03
  about now for Jesus nearly a half an
• 25:07
  hour.
• 25:08
  I say that because it's my essay and
• 25:11
  one of my themes and I've been meaning
• 25:13
  to talk about it but I actually want
• 25:15
  to do it a little more coherently than
• 25:17
  I have this morning than just blurting out
• 25:19
  you know where it all comes from but
• 25:21
  but talk radio talk shows are supposed to
• 25:27
  focus on this kind of thing and I
• 25:30
  like to watch talk shows.
• 25:33
  I watched a talk show yesterday with a
• 25:36
  guy named Sanchez.
• 25:39
  I can't remember Rick Rick Sanchez don't remember
• 25:43
  but on it were a guy that I
• 25:45
  follow.
• 25:46
  Well two guys that I follow and said
• 25:48
  and I'm really not good with names I
• 25:50
  apologize and I didn't prepare to look for
• 25:52
  that in the beginning but it was a
• 25:54
  discussion on Iran with Scott Ritter former Marine
• 26:00
  and another guy follow but not as often.
• 26:06
  He's a second class follow for me, but
• 26:09
  he's not second class.
• 26:10
  He's first class.
• 26:11
  He has great ideas and he's and I'll
• 26:14
  find him one day and tell you what
• 26:16
  is hell.
• 26:16
  Maybe they're in my history on YouTube.
• 26:18
  Oh, no, I shouldn't just say stuff like
• 26:21
  that and then not point it out.
• 26:22
  But the only reason I'm telling you about
• 26:24
  it is because this is where you get
• 26:27
  your different opinions from if you're if you're
• 26:31
  smart here it is.
• 26:32
  It's the show was and I watched it
• 26:34
  yesterday.
• 26:35
  I should I should play part of it
• 26:36
  for you because I always have if you
• 26:40
  know, I go to work and I put
• 26:42
  some of these things on and listen to
• 26:44
  them in the background right and this one
• 26:47
  was one that I was listening to in
• 26:49
  the background.
• 26:50
  So I really didn't get it.
• 26:51
  But the guy's name is.
• 26:54
  Sam.
• 26:55
  Oh this he has a show called the
• 26:57
  Sanchez effect.
• 27:00
  He's got 271,000 subscribers.
• 27:03
  He does the show from want to say
• 27:07
  cutter, but I'm not positive where he does
• 27:10
  his show from but it's his his see
• 27:14
  clear cut CLRC UT is his station and
• 27:21
  he had on there yesterday.
• 27:23
  He had Scott Ritter.
• 27:26
  And he was, you know, the headliner if
• 27:30
  you will and then the other guy that
• 27:32
  we pay attention to former UN weapon instructor
• 27:35
  Scott Ritter argues that Iran may have used
• 27:38
  relatively simple detection methods to target one of
• 27:41
  the world's most advanced fighter jet the f
• 27:43
  -35 they took one down in this analysis
• 27:45
  analysis Ritter outlines how basic systems used strategically
• 27:49
  can challenge stealth technology that has long been
• 27:52
  seen as the backbone of the US air
• 27:54
  superiority.
• 27:55
  I don't believe we have it anymore for
• 27:57
  a lot of reasons and and Ukraine has
• 27:59
  shown that and they took out all the
• 28:02
  big story was we're sending f-16s.
• 28:05
  Oh, it's the end of the world for
• 28:06
  the Russians.
• 28:07
  No, it's not just isn't, you know Ukraine.
• 28:12
  They aren't going to defeat Russia and with
• 28:14
  u.s. Tech or otherwise, it's just not
• 28:16
  going to happen and Russia can outlast them
• 28:18
  and they will and this this this continued
• 28:22
  going on with it anyway, but the analysis
• 28:25
  was Ritter on Iraq Iraq Iran is shows
• 28:29
  all these basic systems.
• 28:30
  You talk about his remarks come amid growing
• 28:33
  claims and counterclaims around the f-35 incident
• 28:37
  involved in Iran, which are unverified and highly
• 28:40
  contested.
• 28:40
  So all over their other place.
• 28:42
  They go.
• 28:42
  No, we took that out in the end.
• 28:44
  No, you didn't crash.
• 28:45
  No, it doesn't matter and they go.
• 28:47
  We took it, you know, we just argue
• 28:50
  and because that's what you do with with
• 28:52
  humans if accurate of what what Ritter says
• 28:57
  is accurate.
• 28:59
  The implications go behind beyond a the normal
• 29:03
  thing.
• 29:03
  Anyway, you can listen to this and he
• 29:06
  didn't list the name of the other guy
• 29:08
  in the show.
• 29:09
  But man, I forget well, I guess it's
• 29:13
  not important.
• 29:13
  If you're interested go out and watch it.
• 29:15
  It's a clear-cut CLRC UT and he
• 29:18
  has some interesting people on there one time
• 29:20
  shows called the Sanchez effect and the YouTube
• 29:24
  link is clear cut at CLRC UT good
• 29:27
  stuff Maynard.
• 29:29
  Anyway back to the I want to finish
• 29:30
  up that topic on people but it's very
• 29:32
  important Scott Ritter has a if I recall
• 29:36
  now, I'm no genius on Scott Ritter.
• 29:37
  I've interviewed him one time for my own
• 29:39
  show, you know, and I'd like to do
• 29:40
  it again.
• 29:41
  He's very interesting.
• 29:42
  We have a similar background.
• 29:44
  He worked at the same nuclear armaments getting
• 29:47
  rid of for the intermediate-range Nuclear Forces
• 29:51
  Treaty.
• 29:52
  He was the one of the first military
• 29:54
  on board for that and he said they
• 29:56
  picked him because he was spoke Russian but
• 29:58
  his Russian sucks and and I talked with
• 30:01
  him a little bit.
• 30:04
  But I think he can get by in
• 30:06
  basic Russian for people but he can't give
• 30:07
  a speech in Russian that to me booted
• 30:10
  and it just won't happen.
• 30:13
  And so he but he has great opinions
• 30:16
  because the various place that he's been in
• 30:18
  the various things.
• 30:19
  He's seen he was a UN weapons inspector.
• 30:22
  He was a major to get to was
• 30:25
  he's lieutenant when he started.
• 30:27
  I don't remember what he's done.
• 30:28
  He did it for a while and then
• 30:29
  he got picked up to go to some
• 30:31
  other international groups.
• 30:33
  There's an interview of him on my program
• 30:35
  and he's very very interesting and his views
• 30:39
  came from other and what I've noticed is
• 30:41
  that people with views that I don't know
• 30:46
  what I should I meant to say views
• 30:48
  that matter because but know everybody's view matters
• 30:50
  with but people that have the refined senses
• 30:57
  in this part of this is self-congratulatory
• 31:00
  and I really don't mean it to be
• 31:02
  that way but it's because they've developed other
• 31:09
  they've developed other methods.
• 31:13
  I got to write something down.
• 31:14
  This is hilarious.
• 31:16
  Damn TV distracted me, but this is good.
• 31:19
  I got to write this down.
• 31:22
  I'm going to check this out later.
• 31:25
  They have like a two-minute commercial.
• 31:28
  So I'm going to check it out.
• 31:29
  Sorry to Sorry to be distracted, but boy,
• 31:35
  I'm writing that something I'm going to use
• 31:37
  and then I'm going to turn off the
• 31:39
  damn TVs.
• 31:39
  I try not to look at them, but
• 31:41
  there they are.
• 31:42
  We have a great studio.
• 31:44
  It's awesome.
• 31:45
  I love to work out of here in
• 31:47
  this studio.
• 31:48
  It's very nice.
• 31:49
  JR has done some great things.
• 31:50
  The Lake Ozark Real Estate of the Art
• 31:52
  Studio and it's beautiful and fantastic and other
• 31:56
  people that want to voice their opinions.
• 32:00
  You can get a slot at Damn Radio,
• 32:02
  but you got to do it through me
• 32:03
  and I will pump it to JR and
• 32:05
  see if he'll listen.
• 32:08
  Pause.
• 32:09
  No, JR listens.
• 32:10
  He's a great guy.
• 32:11
  And all you got to do is send
• 32:12
  something to live at damnradio.com and everybody
• 32:17
  has access to that.
• 32:18
  I never look.
• 32:19
  Truthfully, I have my own.
• 32:20
  It's Samuel T at International Flavor.
• 32:22
  You can send stuff there.
• 32:24
  If you're interested in chatting with me directly
• 32:26
  and not on the live, I can do
• 32:28
  remote interviews.
• 32:30
  I like doing those from my Russian version.
• 32:32
  And that's how I did the Scott Ritter
• 32:35
  video.
• 32:36
  And I interviewed him from my Russian channel.
• 32:41
  And then all I did was put subtitles
• 32:43
  on there in Russian for people to read
• 32:45
  because obviously me and Ritter spoke in English.
• 32:50
  I don't think his Russian is at the
• 32:52
  level that we could hold the discussion that
• 32:55
  we had in Russian.
• 32:56
  I could do it.
• 32:57
  But I'm not positive that he could.
• 33:00
  Anyway, it doesn't matter.
• 33:01
  I'm not, I don't mean to demean, but
• 33:03
  that people have different focuses in their life.
• 33:06
  And the only thing I have to be
• 33:07
  proud of is the fact that I speak
• 33:09
  Russian.
• 33:10
  I got nothing else.
• 33:12
  You know, my brother was a genius.
• 33:15
  Fortunately, you always could point to that, you
• 33:17
  know, you'd get in a school and go,
• 33:18
  wow, I taught all your older brothers and
• 33:21
  sisters.
• 33:21
  Like, oh Jesus, here we go again.
• 33:23
  Now the expectation is there that I'm as
• 33:26
  smart as they are.
• 33:27
  Uh-uh.
• 33:29
  That's nuts.
• 33:30
  What do you think you're doing?
• 33:31
  And the teacher's like, why your brother?
• 33:33
  It's like, my brother don't matter.
• 33:36
  He's Jesus.
• 33:36
  He's already through college.
• 33:38
  Here I am coming in trying to figure
• 33:41
  out how to graduate third grade and I
• 33:44
  got to live up to my brother.
• 33:45
  All you brother, you sit here and read
• 33:47
  stories to everyone.
• 33:48
  He can teach the classes.
• 33:49
  Well, yeah, he sure could.
• 33:51
  Smarter than you.
• 33:51
  All you want to do is talk about
• 33:53
  my genius brother.
• 33:55
  Anyway, that's my bitching for today too, but
• 33:58
  they hold you to a higher expectation and
• 34:02
  I try not to do that.
• 34:04
  Anyway, I'm on a freaking roll today.
• 34:06
  I'm sorry about that.
• 34:07
  I finally slept last night.
• 34:09
  I never sleep and an unfortunate part of
• 34:12
  Sam's life part two is that I never
• 34:15
  sleep and so I'm always up and I'm
• 34:17
  always watching various opinions and late at night
• 34:22
  all the good stuff comes out from the
• 34:25
  eastern part of the world as we call
• 34:27
  it, you know, but the other side of
• 34:29
  the globe is under sunshine when we're not
• 34:32
  and so some of the breaking news comes
• 34:35
  out on the other side of the planet
• 34:37
  and we don't get to see it till
• 34:38
  it's over and everybody thinks that we're the
• 34:41
  focus of the world and you every American
• 34:43
  thinks that but the rest of the world
• 34:46
  doesn't think that and they think, you know,
• 34:48
  their headlines are different headlines.
• 34:50
  So in conclusion with all the lunacy that
• 34:53
  I've just given you this morning and a
• 34:55
  half an hour.
• 34:55
  I would say this the only reason I
• 34:57
  tell this entire rambling nonsensical diatribe circle of
• 35:02
  a story.
• 35:04
  It's because opinions matter different opinions matter and
• 35:11
  you should honor and consider those differing opinions.
• 35:16
  Okay, and it's like.
• 35:20
  I'm going to lead kind of into my
• 35:22
  second set of information that I wish to
• 35:27
  push out to you today and it is
• 35:31
  I got to pull it up on my
• 35:32
  on my tablet though, because I can't get
• 35:35
  it on.
• 35:36
  I can but there's login issue and you
• 35:39
  got a second to class or second to
• 35:42
  step verification modified every time you do it.
• 35:46
  It says you have to get a new
• 35:48
  password and every time you do it, you
• 35:49
  never remember what the freaking password was.
• 35:52
  So you put in a password to use
• 35:54
  and they say nope, you already use that
• 35:57
  password before you got to make another one
• 35:59
  and then you go make another one.
• 36:00
  They suggest.
• 36:01
  Well, maybe we can give me some magic
• 36:03
  the password right here.
• 36:05
  Well, you'll never remember the magic one either
• 36:07
  and your computer won't remember it either because
• 36:10
  you don't want it to remember it because
• 36:11
  you leave your tablet laying around anyway, that
• 36:14
  is where people get their views and that
• 36:17
  is why Samuel Edward Von Trapp and I'm
• 36:20
  not a Von Trapp.
• 36:21
  I don't claim that name.
• 36:22
  I am just plain old ordinary Samuel with
• 36:27
  a various opinion.
• 36:28
  So I'm going to get to you what
• 36:30
  I and I talked a little bit about
• 36:31
  it yesterday.
• 36:32
  Okay, and yesterday there was plenty of info
• 36:39
  about marijuana coming out and all the issues
• 36:46
  that there has been and I started with
• 36:48
  that case with the judge yesterday and I
• 36:52
  like to analyze cases as well and where
• 36:56
  they come from and how they develop and
• 36:59
  I want I like to watch that that's
• 37:01
  part of the reason that Civic Outlaws.
• 37:04
  I've written four articles.
• 37:06
  I got one I'm working on for tomorrow
• 37:07
  that I'm going to put on Civic Outlaws
• 37:10
  tomorrow and I think I'm going to go
• 37:15
  one or two places on this and I
• 37:18
  believe I'm going to go with the marijuana
• 37:27
  regulation like a like a I want to
• 37:30
  give kind of an overview of what's happened
• 37:32
  and where I think mistakes have been made
• 37:34
  and I might not be able to finish
• 37:35
  it by tomorrow.
• 37:36
  So but there's all kinds of new marijuana
• 37:38
  litigation coming out and this court case where
• 37:42
  a judge in a declaratory judgment declared that
• 37:46
  a certain way that they are licensing people
• 37:52
  to marijuana is completely BS.
• 37:57
  You know, it's nonsense basically didn't say that
• 38:00
  but basically said it's a you know, it's
• 38:03
  a mess and everybody knew it was going
• 38:06
  to be a mess.
• 38:06
  I'm not saying you know to give you
• 38:10
  a little bit more theory and remember this
• 38:12
  is because unfortunately it takes talk to get
• 38:16
  through to it and nobody has the time
• 38:21
  to sit down and talk to you but
• 38:23
  they can listen to your show while driving
• 38:26
  down the road.
• 38:27
  They only get little bits and pieces of
• 38:30
  your show when they're driving down the road
• 38:32
  because somebody will turn on the phone, you
• 38:34
  know, somebody will call and they will have
• 38:36
  to take a phone call.
• 38:37
  We all got incredibly busy lives and taking
• 38:40
  an hour and a half to listen to
• 38:42
  a theory on or I don't call it
• 38:46
  a theory because it's not but listen to
• 38:48
  an explanation of how ATC works perhaps which
• 38:52
  I've done.
• 38:53
  I've given you how many hours of ATC
• 38:55
  analysis which by the way, I'm right and
• 38:58
  I offer anybody to come and sit down
• 39:00
  with me and tell me why I'm wrong.
• 39:03
  I told you I spoke with representative Benny
• 39:05
  cook about it and I believe he got
• 39:07
  it.
• 39:07
  I believe he was being played.
• 39:11
  Yeah, I believe he was being I don't
• 39:14
  know what duped would be a good word,
• 39:16
  you know that the agency powers that be
• 39:20
  were duping him into accepting something and or
• 39:25
  the alternative to that is a little bit
• 39:28
  scary.
• 39:29
  They don't understand that they're acting outside of
• 39:33
  the statute or even the third version which
• 39:35
  says oh they understand.
• 39:38
  All right.
• 39:40
  That's why they're duping him in the first
• 39:42
  place.
• 39:43
  And that my friends is the scary part
• 39:47
  right there.
• 39:48
  And so if you don't have time to
• 39:50
  listen to why I'm right.
• 39:53
  Well, God love you for it, but it
• 39:56
  makes people not want to participate in a
• 39:58
  system because nobody has the time to talk
• 40:03
  legislators to we've met.
• 40:06
  I've met with several I've spoken to Benny
• 40:08
  cook about this issue and you know, mostly
• 40:13
  him saying yeah, we've withdrawn that, you know,
• 40:15
  we've pulled that bill, you know, it's no
• 40:18
  longer an issue.
• 40:20
  I think in part of it.
• 40:21
  Thank you.
• 40:21
  Samuel Edward trap who wrote those six articles
• 40:27
  outlining why the ATC is clearly acting outside
• 40:33
  its boundaries.
• 40:34
  You know judge might not say what I'm
• 40:36
  saying is right judge Stumpy is judge Stumpy.
• 40:39
  He's a good guy.
• 40:40
  I like him.
• 40:40
  I always like that guy and you know,
• 40:43
  and when I found out he was on
• 40:44
  the judge on the case with Travis noble
• 40:47
  that I was helping with well that you
• 40:49
  know, I like judge Stumpy.
• 40:51
  There's some judges right and I've talked about
• 40:52
  him like I hate to name him again,
• 40:56
  but boy, there's some crappy judges out there
• 40:58
  and there's some judges you get in front
• 41:01
  of you go, oh Jesus this guy no
• 41:04
  wonder he's a judge and it's really sad
• 41:06
  to say but you know that like I
• 41:09
  said in the military in the military Jack
• 41:11
  be nimble Jack be quick Jack got stupid
• 41:14
  and tripped over his dick and then he
• 41:18
  got promoted that was the saying in the
• 41:22
  military that the idiots we would think it's
• 41:25
  like, oh my God, how did this guy
• 41:27
  get up there?
• 41:28
  This guy is dumb as a bag of
• 41:30
  hammers and he's running.
• 41:33
  He's running a battalion and you're going geez.
• 41:37
  I wouldn't hire that guy to run my
• 41:39
  dog kennel and he's running a battalion everybody's
• 41:44
  people.
• 41:45
  Okay, and I've met some some that I
• 41:47
  thought were fantastic and some that were just
• 41:50
  not in the position that they would needed
• 41:52
  to be in or worse yet.
• 41:54
  They got their position politically and they're never
• 41:58
  going to leave and you know, they're never
• 42:01
  going to leave and politics the the I
• 42:04
  like this guy you like that one is
• 42:07
  a history of relationships and how you built
• 42:11
  them and who helped you get to where
• 42:13
  and you know, always self-made man, you
• 42:16
  know many self-made men there are there
• 42:18
  aren't very many and they're all at the
• 42:20
  lower level because soon as they're made people
• 42:22
  start attacking them and so you have to
• 42:24
  learn to be all you can get up
• 42:26
  to just this particular level and unless you're
• 42:28
  untouchable.
• 42:32
  Billions like Trump everybody hated Trump, you know,
• 42:35
  but you take that as an example of
• 42:37
  the American nightmare right there.
• 42:39
  I'm I've written a book.
• 42:41
  It's called American nightmare.
• 42:43
  I'm like I said, I'm still only a
• 42:45
  hundred thousand words into a hundred and twenty
• 42:47
  thousand word book and I got to figure
• 42:49
  out one of the middle chapters yet and
• 42:52
  then I'm going to I'm going to publish
• 42:53
  this book and it's it's basically the the
• 42:57
  story that I just gave you in far
• 42:59
  more detail telling you how important it is
• 43:04
  to honor and listen to the opinions of
• 43:09
  others and there are really people out there
• 43:13
  and it's easy the easy way to go.
• 43:16
  Those are bad people.
• 43:17
  Those are I call them bureaucrats everybody knows,
• 43:21
  you know that I have a bureaucrat aversion.
• 43:23
  I have a version of bureaucrats and those
• 43:25
  are people who will not listen to an
• 43:27
  opposing opinion.
• 43:28
  They just won't listen and not only that
• 43:31
  the whole time they're listening.
• 43:32
  They're trying to figure out how they're going
• 43:34
  to destroy that opinion and destroy you along
• 43:36
  with it.
• 43:37
  So you don't bring it back and that's
• 43:39
  the truth that is the truth and it's
• 43:42
  coming from to you from a guy who
• 43:44
  has been destroyed in exactly that manner by
• 43:48
  bureaucratic system.
• 43:49
  That is crap as far as the profession
• 43:52
  of lawyer in the state of Missouri and
• 43:56
  you know, I'd love to give them some
• 43:59
  ideas how to pull their collective heads out
• 44:03
  of their collective Zopi Zopa is a Russian
• 44:07
  word that I won't translate here on the
• 44:09
  air, but some somebody fell on their Zopa
• 44:14
  that occasionally happens and you know, you can
• 44:18
  figure out the rest of your intelligence enough
• 44:21
  to pull your own head out of your
• 44:23
  own Zopa and we can go from there.
• 44:26
  Anyway, some of these people get up there
• 44:27
  and they can't listen to you or won't
• 44:30
  listen to you and are only trying to
• 44:34
  figure out how to destroy you and as
• 44:36
  an American and well as anybody you got
• 44:39
  to figure out which person that is and
• 44:41
  if you grew up in Qatar, for example,
• 44:44
  and you grew up in Qatar and you
• 44:46
  had to speak with you know, you had
• 44:50
  to be one of the 340,000 Qataris
• 44:53
  that when they turn 18 get a load
• 44:55
  of cash because the government's a plus it's
• 44:58
  like you want money move to Alaska.
• 45:00
  You don't pay taxes there.
• 45:02
  They send you a check every year.
• 45:03
  You get a dividend you get a dividend.
• 45:06
  I think it's taxable on the US side,
• 45:09
  but you get a dividend.
• 45:09
  I remember I was up there for January
• 45:12
  one of the coldest friggin January's on record
• 45:14
  and I spent a month up there.
• 45:16
  I slept several days in a snow bank.
• 45:18
  That was no fun and it was friggin
• 45:20
  cold and but one of the interesting things
• 45:23
  up there is found out that you you
• 45:28
  get this dividend buddy of mine lived it
• 45:31
  that was a station at the Fort in
• 45:33
  Anchorage.
• 45:37
  We're in Anchorage.
• 45:38
  Yeah, and whatever that Fort is I can't
• 45:40
  remember and he had been there for a
• 45:42
  little while and every military guy, you know,
• 45:45
  your state is your state my state.
• 45:47
  I joined the military from Illinois.
• 45:50
  And so that was my home state.
• 45:53
  And when I went back to Illinois, I
• 45:54
  got for example, a free four-year education.
• 45:58
  If you if you live in Missouri and
• 46:00
  you want a free four-year education tell
• 46:03
  them you bought you got a P.O.
• 46:04
  Box join from Illinois side and then when
• 46:10
  you get done you do your four years
• 46:12
  you go to University of Illinois for free
• 46:14
  any state University you go you don't pay
• 46:17
  tuition and or you didn't at least back
• 46:20
  when I got it, you know, I got
• 46:22
  out of the military and I think it's
• 46:23
  the same thing.
• 46:23
  Some states have great veteran benefits.
• 46:25
  I'm a veteran and I you know, the
• 46:29
  VA hospitals people bitch about them.
• 46:32
  I do not I've experienced two very good
• 46:35
  VA hospitals.
• 46:39
  It's got its bureaucracy, you know, but it's
• 46:43
  the system you have to work through it's
• 46:45
  got that but the services I've received are
• 46:50
  top-notch, you know, the care that I've
• 46:53
  been given is not horror story.
• 46:56
  Okay, I was supposed to get surgery on
• 46:59
  my back and that went very well anyway,
• 47:02
  I'm rambling but and I apologize for that
• 47:05
  but and I want to bring it back
• 47:08
  to this place where they come from because
• 47:12
  where you come from matters because other people
• 47:15
  and other systems I've learned how to work
• 47:18
  through our system and get along but hopefully
• 47:21
  I always got along with people in high
• 47:23
  school.
• 47:24
  I got along with everyone.
• 47:25
  I was one of the guys who you
• 47:28
  know, the the the rejects the druggies the
• 47:33
  the don't want you know, the guys that
• 47:34
  sit over there and all they do is
• 47:36
  talk about music and and you know, they're
• 47:39
  they started to wear black, you know, those
• 47:41
  weird and they'd have they'd have a Metallica
• 47:44
  shirt on in high school.
• 47:45
  This was a bad deal.
• 47:46
  You know, these are people who rock and
• 47:48
  rollers, you know, and you know, the bad
• 47:51
  kids did the druggies do whatever I thought
• 47:53
  they were wonderful and they just had a
• 47:55
  different opinion and I've one of those is
• 47:58
  as a child as a kid one of
• 48:00
  the one of my four kids is one
• 48:01
  of those he's great kid Samuel Edward Trapp
• 48:05
  the second and he's not a junior.
• 48:08
  I call him I call him I call
• 48:10
  him small Sam is what I call him.
• 48:13
  Oh, you're small Sam.
• 48:14
  I'm big Sam Malinky Sam Malinky Sam chick.
• 48:18
  He's a small Sam a baby Sam and
• 48:21
  anyway, people are wonderful in high school.
• 48:23
  I got along with everybody so I could
• 48:24
  listen to that opinion.
• 48:26
  I did all the homework for all the
• 48:27
  football jockstar players.
• 48:29
  I did all their homework.
• 48:30
  I read every book in the library and
• 48:32
  they would just come say hey trap.
• 48:33
  We have it up and I was all
• 48:34
  sure you know, it's a buck a page.
• 48:36
  Yeah.
• 48:36
  Yeah, I know dollar a page do their
• 48:39
  book reports do their homework tell them why
• 48:42
  it's important say at least read the god
• 48:44
  -blessed thing before you turn it into the
• 48:46
  teacher.
• 48:47
  So at least you know what you wrote
• 48:48
  and put it in your own handwriting because
• 48:51
  that's mine, you know, they'll know it.
• 48:54
  So at least when you rewrite it at
• 48:56
  least have the decency to listen to what
• 48:59
  you're rewriting, you know, so we had that
• 49:01
  and then the other people who were the
• 49:04
  the genius parts that were in the band
• 49:07
  and would you know, take typing and take
• 49:10
  up business courses as you were going up.
• 49:12
  I was in with them too and all
• 49:14
  the shop guys that wanted to weld I
• 49:15
  couldn't do any of that but I would
• 49:17
  go in there and thought I got beat
• 49:18
  up by the principal in that high school
• 49:21
  because I called the the the the metal
• 49:25
  shop instructor, Mr. Evans.
• 49:28
  Oh, I went nuts on that guy one
• 49:30
  day when I was like 10th grade and
• 49:31
  the principal came in and beat the crap
• 49:33
  out of me when I went home.
• 49:36
  My mom yelled at me too.
• 49:38
  She's yelling because I was I was wrong,
• 49:41
  but I wasn't wrong.
• 49:42
  I didn't think I was wrong.
• 49:43
  I was like man you got anyway.
• 49:45
  I still remember that idiot story, but I
• 49:47
  got the crap beat out of me in
• 49:49
  school by the principal because I stood up
• 49:53
  for myself and anyway with Authority problems perhaps
• 49:58
  that's how they developed and but I've always
• 50:02
  had them, you know, you'd ask my mother
• 50:03
  about my Authority problems.
• 50:05
  I have problems with rogue Authority with Authority
• 50:08
  without a reason well bit with even your
• 50:12
  mother know why why but because I said
• 50:15
  so well, I don't support that theory even
• 50:20
  if she has the power I've known the
• 50:23
  difference between power and right and wrong for
• 50:26
  years, you know, there's power and then the
• 50:30
  US exercises it and there's right and wrong
• 50:33
  and there's huge questions as to that but
• 50:36
  the power I get it and I get
• 50:38
  that who wields it is important and you
• 50:41
  need to know where those a-holes came
• 50:42
  from, you know while you're doing it.
• 50:44
  So now I've taken it from the small
• 50:46
  sphere to school sphere into the larger sphere
• 50:51
  and this is where the marijuana issue is
• 50:55
  a big one.
• 50:56
  I don't use marijuana never have never was
• 51:02
  interested don't believe in it.
• 51:05
  I never smoked.
• 51:06
  Why would I I don't like it?
• 51:10
  I don't appreciate it.
• 51:11
  It's terrible.
• 51:12
  You know, I didn't drink for years because
• 51:15
  you know, I couldn't find anything it tasted
• 51:18
  worthy worthy, you know, you go drink a
• 51:19
  beer that stuff is still tastes like water
• 51:22
  ran through cardboard, you know, it's just it's
• 51:25
  beer, you know, and the only ones I
• 51:27
  really like are European, you know, I'll start
• 51:30
  drinking a little bit over there and I
• 51:32
  like some of the stuff I've made up
• 51:34
  in Columbia the flavored freaking beer but beer
• 51:37
  I need a Stella and Stella, you know
• 51:39
  people look at Stella and go well, that's
• 51:40
  that really beer.
• 51:42
  I don't know but it's good that tastes
• 51:44
  good.
• 51:45
  Okay tastes acceptable to me, you know opening
• 51:48
  up a I don't know what I don't
• 51:51
  want to pick one, but most American beer
• 51:54
  you pick them up you open them up
• 51:56
  crap.
• 51:57
  You don't want that.
• 51:57
  Why would you buy that you buy it
• 51:58
  because it's cheap and it has a 6
• 52:00
  % alcohol or whatever the hell's got in
• 52:02
  as an effect on you and after one
• 52:04
  or two who gives a crap what it
• 52:06
  tastes like anyway ran into a guy who
• 52:09
  I knew in bars 21 years ago and
• 52:14
  we're probably working together at Civic Outlaws on
• 52:17
  a couple things haven't seen him at least
• 52:19
  10 years.
• 52:20
  I haven't seen him probably 15, you know,
• 52:22
  it's a long time since I seen but
• 52:24
  I used to see him every day because
• 52:26
  I would go to his club every night
• 52:28
  and my ex-wife would go there with
• 52:32
  me and so we shared some some history
• 52:35
  talking to him about some of that and
• 52:38
  he is also involved in some of the
• 52:40
  some of the issues that are coming up.
• 52:42
  We formed Missouri licensee Protection Association.
• 52:47
  It's formed.
• 52:49
  It's a 501 C 6 and the 501
• 52:51
  C 6 status which you have to get
• 52:54
  approved by the IRS and the IRS a
• 52:56
  freaking mess, you know is terrible mess there.
• 53:03
  They say go to our site download this
• 53:04
  document send it in you go to find
• 53:06
  it the document doesn't exist and there's a
• 53:08
  fight over whether it will ever exist again.
• 53:10
  So yeah, what do I do?
• 53:12
  It's a I don't know.
• 53:13
  What do you write a letter?
• 53:14
  That's what I'm going to do.
• 53:16
  But the IRS is a mess and it
• 53:18
  always has been and anybody who's been involved
• 53:21
  with them knows it's a mess.
• 53:22
  It's a bureaucratic nightmare.
• 53:24
  And so is the post office you I
• 53:27
  had a discussion with somebody the other day
• 53:29
  here in Osage Beach you go the post
• 53:31
  office.
• 53:32
  They won't postmark your mail.
• 53:33
  What how do you not postmark your mail?
• 53:36
  They don't know.
• 53:37
  It doesn't get postmarked till you send it
• 53:38
  to Columbia.
• 53:40
  What is it two days and it could
• 53:42
  be sitting there days.
• 53:43
  What if I got a deadline and a
• 53:45
  judge says, oh Sam, you got to have
• 53:46
  your deadline go get it postmarked and I
• 53:48
  walk in the postmarked but say at least
• 53:50
  postmarked the damn thing and I've been told
• 53:52
  that they're saying no and why well, we
• 53:56
  don't postmark it.
• 53:57
  It doesn't get postmarked till get Columbia.
• 53:59
  No wonder the mail is taking 10 days
• 54:01
  anymore.
• 54:02
  You know, you go and you spend 80.
• 54:04
  What would it cost me last time?
• 54:05
  I overnighted something but boy, they got a
• 54:07
  money-back guarantee.
• 54:08
  So take it to the post office FedEx
• 54:11
  is going to charge you $80 overnight anyway,
• 54:13
  and so you go to the post office.
• 54:15
  They're never going to get it there on
• 54:17
  time.
• 54:17
  Just understand that FedEx.
• 54:19
  You got a better shot of that.
• 54:20
  But if you go to the post office
• 54:22
  and you pay them there's a money-back
• 54:24
  guarantee if it doesn't get there by the
• 54:26
  deadline you say which it won't then you
• 54:29
  get your money back.
• 54:31
  So you get it tell somebody I'm sending
• 54:33
  it but it ain't going to be there
• 54:34
  overnight.
• 54:35
  It'll be there in three days.
• 54:36
  And when they get there in three days,
• 54:37
  you have the guy certified that it got
• 54:39
  there in three days.
• 54:39
  You go get your money back and you
• 54:41
  everybody should do that to prove a point.
• 54:44
  The point is the system is crap and
• 54:47
  it's a mess and they've destroyed the post
• 54:49
  office.
• 54:50
  You see we used to be able to
• 54:51
  count on the mail.
• 54:53
  We counted on it.
• 54:56
  Government depended upon it and legal processes depended
• 55:03
  upon it.
• 55:04
  If you if you went to a judge
• 55:06
  and said, hey judge, here's the paper, but
• 55:09
  the post office didn't, you know, I mailed
• 55:12
  it on time, but the postmark they don't
• 55:15
  post apparently they don't postmark it in Osage
• 55:18
  Beach anymore.
• 55:19
  You got to wait till it gets sent
• 55:21
  to Columbia and they only send it to
• 55:23
  Columbia every couple of days.
• 55:24
  So your mail is really not going out
• 55:26
  the same day, but the day that they
• 55:28
  accept it as the post office and everybody
• 55:32
  knows now the post office isn't doing anything
• 55:34
  if they're not postmarking they ought to be
• 55:38
  because there is a lot of people dependent
• 55:41
  on it.
• 55:41
  I only heard it as a complaint.
• 55:43
  I only heard it as someone who wanted
• 55:45
  to say, can you help me find somebody
• 55:47
  to go after this?
• 55:48
  Maybe I'll go after it on Civic Outlaws,
• 55:50
  but that's crap.
• 55:52
  If you think about it because the post
• 55:54
  office, you got to depend on them and
• 55:57
  you can't depend on them if they're if
• 56:01
  they're not, they're not even postmarking the mail.
• 56:05
  Now, I have not gotten an opposing opinion
• 56:08
  from Osage Beach, but it's definitely a story
• 56:12
  for a Civic Outlaw, you know, and I'm
• 56:14
  a Civic Outlaw.
• 56:16
  You got those problems, bring them to me.
• 56:18
  I'll be happy to talk about them, bring
• 56:19
  them up, analyze them, discuss them with people
• 56:22
  that might be able to fix them and
• 56:24
  hopefully fix them.
• 56:25
  It's a charitable organization is Civic Outlaws and
• 56:29
  this is international flavor.
• 56:31
  I'm not even I mean, it's not that
• 56:32
  I'm not supposed to talk about it and
• 56:33
  talk about whatever I want, but it's it's
• 56:37
  important this crap, you know, to be part
• 56:39
  of the community.
• 56:40
  Why can't we fix the community?
• 56:42
  Let's fix it, you know, if you can,
• 56:45
  but to people who are there and I
• 56:46
  see this far too much.
• 56:48
  When you calculate people as either a bureaucrat
• 56:52
  or as an administrator, you know, that the
• 56:59
  Air Canada crash is now on the on
• 57:02
  the screen.
• 57:02
  That's terrible.
• 57:04
  And that's too bad too.
• 57:06
  I imagine our colleague will be speaking on
• 57:12
  that topic.
• 57:13
  He may have done it yesterday and I
• 57:15
  missed it.
• 57:15
  I listened to part of his show, but
• 57:18
  I have other things interrupting me all day.
• 57:21
  And if you listen to Gabby Hayes, he
• 57:23
  was air traffic control years ago and he
• 57:26
  has a good show that he does on
• 57:28
  Wednesdays.
• 57:30
  Let's see, you know, he's the Gabby Hayes
• 57:33
  show Wednesdays from 11 a.m. To 1
• 57:37
  p.m. Chicago time.
• 57:41
  If you're listening around the country, we are.
• 57:44
  Why don't we call it Lake Ozark time?
• 57:47
  It's a Lake Ozark time.
• 57:49
  You want to be in Lake Ozark instead
• 57:50
  of Chicago.
• 57:51
  Anyway, you know, Chicago is a good town.
• 57:55
  Dirty as hell, you know, your likelihood of
• 57:58
  getting killed in Lake Ozark by a rove
• 58:00
  band of drive-by shooters is minimal.
• 58:04
  That's a minimal threat here.
• 58:08
  Okay, and generally you can wander down the
• 58:11
  street.
• 58:11
  You might bump into some drunkies, but well,
• 58:14
  you know, these things happen in Lake Ozark.
• 58:17
  We're not quite the level of what happens
• 58:19
  in Lake Ozark, stays in Lake Ozark.
• 58:22
  We're not quite at that level or, you
• 58:24
  know, like a Vegas would be, but we
• 58:27
  have our share of positives here.
• 58:30
  You know, we're some good folk.
• 58:32
  You know, we listen to damn radio and
• 58:34
  get the opinion of Samuel Edward Von Trapp
• 58:37
  as J.R. Martin as has described me
• 58:40
  and other people on the show.
• 58:43
  We have a lot to offer.
• 58:45
  Where are we going today with this?
• 58:49
  I wanted to share something else because the
• 58:53
  I was starting with the opinion that I
• 58:57
  was explaining to you.
• 58:59
  There's a Scott Ritter that was on and
• 59:02
  I suggest you watch that it's 57 minutes.
• 59:05
  So I'm not going to play it for
• 59:06
  you, of course.
• 59:07
  And you can always go out and listen
• 59:09
  to it anyway, but the short version for
• 59:11
  those of you don't have time to listen
• 59:13
  to every show that I suggest to you
• 59:17
  while I'm up middle of the night watching
• 59:20
  YouTube or have it on in the background
• 59:24
  in my in my office.
• 59:29
  I'll tell you that Scott Ritter's opinion that
• 59:32
  the opinion of the guy who left the
• 59:34
  security division notice what they're doing to him.
• 59:38
  Notice what they've done to Scott Ritter.
• 59:41
  Notice what they do to people who question.
• 59:45
  We try to destroy them and those that's
• 59:48
  that's the system that is the system and
• 59:51
  just because somebody controls the system or controls
• 59:55
  the microphone for these large channels as long
• 1:00:01
  as you understand that if you want to
• 1:00:05
  accept those skewed and propagandized version and versions
• 1:00:14
  of the truth, you know that no longer
• 1:00:17
  exist people don't give just the news.
• 1:00:20
  Everybody is putting their opinion in it.
• 1:00:22
  I played you Palki Sharma yesterday from channel
• 1:00:27
  in played a couple days ago.
• 1:00:30
  Don't remember from a channel in India and
• 1:00:34
  she's great to listen to.
• 1:00:36
  She got a three-hour show yesterday.
• 1:00:38
  Somebody came to my office and I had
• 1:00:40
  in the background Maria Zakharova in the background
• 1:00:45
  and she's the foreign minister.
• 1:00:49
  What do you call him?
• 1:00:50
  Like our version of the press secretary.
• 1:00:53
  She's the press secretary for Sergei Viktorovich and
• 1:00:58
  she tells about his schedule.
• 1:01:02
  She tells about events that are important to
• 1:01:04
  them and that's the political portion of it
• 1:01:09
  and Lavrov is the operations part of it
• 1:01:15
  and Lavrov is a year 26 now and
• 1:01:19
  that guy's very smart to listen to but
• 1:01:22
  Maria Zakharova gives a report every every week
• 1:01:28
  at least in but two and a half
• 1:01:30
  hours and journalists are allowed to go there
• 1:01:32
  and all that other stuff and there's questions
• 1:01:34
  and answers afterward which sometimes are on the
• 1:01:36
  YouTube part and sometimes they're not but it
• 1:01:39
  gives you a good indication of what people
• 1:01:43
  are talking about in Russia because remember they
• 1:01:49
  described the narrative just like in America.
• 1:01:52
  The narrative is described for you by the
• 1:01:55
  CNN's of the world by the Fox News
• 1:01:57
  networks of the world and those are the
• 1:02:00
  people who are skewing your opinions or you
• 1:02:05
  get them from long as you understand that
• 1:02:06
  great honor your opinion long as you get
• 1:02:09
  your stuff from from the people hopefully from
• 1:02:11
  the source as much as possible, but it's
• 1:02:13
  not often that you get to speak to
• 1:02:14
  Benny Cook, you know, that's a busy dude,
• 1:02:16
  right and him giving me some time.
• 1:02:20
  That's an extreme positive that is him listening
• 1:02:23
  him reading our articles and accepting them.
• 1:02:28
  I mean that that's isn't that a good
• 1:02:30
  step.
• 1:02:31
  I think that him pulling how so you
• 1:02:34
  didn't pull it, but he said they're not
• 1:02:36
  going anywhere.
• 1:02:37
  They're just going to die on the vine
• 1:02:40
  and those of you who participate a lot
• 1:02:42
  in in in government and pay attention to
• 1:02:47
  that thing realize what a huge deal that
• 1:02:49
  is for Civic Outlaws what a huge plus
• 1:02:52
  it is and we we are in we're
• 1:02:57
  in the in crowd.
• 1:02:58
  Okay, we and we know how to get
• 1:03:01
  to people.
• 1:03:02
  Okay, we're we're we're go out to Civic
• 1:03:05
  Outlaws.com serious and and I'm telling you
• 1:03:08
  I am sort of swapping and I'm not
• 1:03:12
  swapping but I always talk about international stuff
• 1:03:15
  and and I enjoy it and but I
• 1:03:18
  believe we're leaning a little bit toward the
• 1:03:21
  Civic Outlaws stuff and what is going on
• 1:03:24
  in the state of Missouri because I'm not
• 1:03:28
  going to change anything internationally, you know, you
• 1:03:30
  can listen to me.
• 1:03:31
  I'm right, but you can listen to me,
• 1:03:35
  but unless you're in in Donald Trump's inner
• 1:03:38
  circle, you sure as hell ain't going to
• 1:03:40
  change anything and he's in the people that
• 1:03:43
  are selling him on stuff are not the
• 1:03:47
  American public.
• 1:03:48
  Those are people with their own background with
• 1:03:52
  their own history with their own decisions of
• 1:03:55
  where they got it and and you attract
• 1:03:58
  to you people with the same thought processes
• 1:04:03
  and opinions of yours and you have to
• 1:04:06
  honor that process of collection of people that
• 1:04:10
  doesn't mean you got to honor what they
• 1:04:12
  do and I do not honor how the
• 1:04:16
  world is going these days and I think
• 1:04:20
  you need to get your your I think
• 1:04:25
  you need to get your information from a
• 1:04:27
  number of different sources and consider and definitely
• 1:04:30
  consider where you get the information from and
• 1:04:32
  if you know the the other part is
• 1:04:34
  a lot of Americans a lot of international
• 1:04:36
  people they realize they realize this that it's
• 1:04:42
  interesting to know what is going on.
• 1:04:45
  It's interesting to have an opinion on what
• 1:04:47
  is going on.
• 1:04:48
  But unless you can change something it's only
• 1:04:52
  just talk and the only way you can
• 1:04:54
  change it is to band together with peeps
• 1:04:56
  of peeps of similar belief and so you
• 1:05:00
  get your peeps together you grab their poop
• 1:05:02
  and get it in a group and you
• 1:05:04
  once you got your poop in a group
• 1:05:06
  you then move forward as a group we
• 1:05:09
  are civic outlaws and our poop is definitely
• 1:05:11
  grouped and we're ready to go and we
• 1:05:16
  have varying opinions tomorrow.
• 1:05:19
  I'm going to talk on and I haven't
• 1:05:21
  decided which one to go with yet.
• 1:05:23
  It's I don't I may not be quite
• 1:05:27
  far enough along on the comfort side to
• 1:05:29
  go with the the gaming issue, but I'm
• 1:05:34
  going there.
• 1:05:35
  And then I'm going to go I'm also
• 1:05:38
  planning to talk about marijuana marijuana and what's
• 1:05:44
  going on with that and Missouri's approach to
• 1:05:48
  marijuana.
• 1:05:48
  It's had a little while to go to
• 1:05:50
  go to figure out where they're going and
• 1:05:53
  what mistakes are made and remember this is
• 1:05:55
  coming from the point of view of a
• 1:05:56
  guy who does not use marijuana and won't
• 1:06:00
  I don't use drugs.
• 1:06:02
  I've not done that and maybe that's weird.
• 1:06:06
  I don't know but but I don't but
• 1:06:08
  I don't hate people who use drugs, you
• 1:06:12
  know, do I want them to offer to
• 1:06:13
  my children?
• 1:06:14
  No, you know it on my grandkids to
• 1:06:16
  be druggies.
• 1:06:17
  No do people that I know a lot
• 1:06:20
  of them use use marijuana.
• 1:06:23
  Yeah, there was a lot of how often
• 1:06:25
  did you hear when I was practicing law
• 1:06:26
  and some guy come into me years and
• 1:06:29
  years ago.
• 1:06:30
  I started practicing the law in oh one
• 1:06:32
  and they took my license suspended my license
• 1:06:37
  in 2014.
• 1:06:38
  All right, I get that but you can
• 1:06:40
  never get it back was not the issue.
• 1:06:42
  If you wanted to disbar me you should
• 1:06:44
  have friggin disbarred me, you know, and you
• 1:06:47
  didn't do it and if you had disbarred
• 1:06:49
  me and I think it's intentional.
• 1:06:50
  I think to bureaucrats.
• 1:06:51
  I'm certainly the big time bureaucrat a whole
• 1:06:54
  name also named Samuel unfortunately Samuel Phillips from
• 1:07:00
  office of chief disciplinary counsel.
• 1:07:03
  Those are not the good guys and when
• 1:07:05
  when bureaucracy overtakes to practice the law which
• 1:07:08
  it has and the system itself is corrupt
• 1:07:11
  which it is then you need to speak
• 1:07:14
  out about it and there is zero reason
• 1:07:17
  that I should not have a law license
• 1:07:21
  restored there.
• 1:07:23
  It's funny because there's so many criminals out
• 1:07:26
  there.
• 1:07:28
  Who get their license back their people who
• 1:07:31
  robbed their clients and people who did that,
• 1:07:34
  you know, who really did some of the
• 1:07:36
  crap that they accused me of but I've
• 1:07:39
  never been able to defend myself appropriately and
• 1:07:42
  when I sued him the Supreme Court said
• 1:07:43
  we don't get involved in those things.
• 1:07:45
  I've spent how much money suing these assholes
• 1:07:48
  and I never got anywhere and the system
• 1:07:51
  won't change because but I tried, you know,
• 1:07:54
  and I tried to do it and look
• 1:07:57
  there's a huge settlement in Missouri versus Biden
• 1:08:00
  wonder what it is.
• 1:08:02
  I haven't heard about that.
• 1:08:03
  Maybe we should look it up real quick.
• 1:08:05
  Maybe I should sue Biden.
• 1:08:07
  Maybe I'll get some cash for that.
• 1:08:09
  Let's see here huge settlement.
• 1:08:13
  We're going to figure this out.
• 1:08:16
  Real quick right here.
• 1:08:19
  On international flavor.
• 1:08:21
  And you know, Missouri has its own international
• 1:08:24
  flavors, doesn't it?
• 1:08:26
  They we have something here that a lot
• 1:08:28
  of people don't the bicycle trails.
• 1:08:30
  We have like 400 miles of bicycle trails
• 1:08:33
  that have been there well and pretty well
• 1:08:35
  cared for in the spring.
• 1:08:36
  Sometimes you got to avoid some flooding up
• 1:08:38
  on the Mississippi River, Missouri River area up
• 1:08:41
  there.
• 1:08:41
  You gotta watch out for that and but
• 1:08:44
  generally they'll work well cared for, you know,
• 1:08:47
  I think I still think I want to
• 1:08:49
  do this.
• 1:08:49
  I'm going to take a weekend and take
• 1:08:51
  my fat ass and hop on my bicycle
• 1:08:53
  and I believe I'm going to ride from
• 1:08:55
  Columbia or Jeff City haven't decided which which
• 1:08:59
  of the trailheads I'll approach and I'm going
• 1:09:01
  to ride my bicycle to St. Charles.
• 1:09:04
  I'm going to take an overnight bag with
• 1:09:06
  me.
• 1:09:08
  And I'm going to go to the casino
• 1:09:11
  on the river, whatever the name of that
• 1:09:12
  is.
• 1:09:13
  I used to go there all the time
• 1:09:14
  Maristar, I think and I'm going to get
• 1:09:18
  a room, get a shower, gamble all night,
• 1:09:22
  sleep until late in the morning and then
• 1:09:24
  bicycle back.
• 1:09:25
  It's only it's a little what 80-90
• 1:09:27
  miles.
• 1:09:28
  I think it's an 80 mile shot depending
• 1:09:29
  on where you go from that I can
• 1:09:31
  do, you know on my worst day, you
• 1:09:34
  know, I can still do that and I
• 1:09:37
  believe I'm going to do that.
• 1:09:38
  We're going to have to calendar that I
• 1:09:40
  got invited to Egypt and to Russia mother
• 1:09:44
  Rasha, but I got to get my visa
• 1:09:46
  again, but I'm thinking of January January July
• 1:09:50
  trip to Russia.
• 1:09:52
  I usually go around my birthday.
• 1:09:55
  My birthday is June the 17th and that
• 1:10:00
  is a national holiday at least for me
• 1:10:02
  and I like to travel on that day
• 1:10:05
  and I last five six years have been
• 1:10:07
  gone.
• 1:10:08
  I think we went somewhere last year on
• 1:10:09
  my birthday.
• 1:10:10
  Where did we go last year?
• 1:10:11
  Oh last year.
• 1:10:11
  I went to it.
• 1:10:12
  I didn't go out of the country.
• 1:10:13
  I went to Tennessee and that was fantastic.
• 1:10:16
  I went to Tennessee in the mountain area.
• 1:10:18
  I've been there before but there was a
• 1:10:19
  mountain on the lake and all the stuff
• 1:10:20
  anyway, Jesus.
• 1:10:22
  I'm really rambling today.
• 1:10:23
  I'm very sorry about that because we are
• 1:10:25
  looking about Schmidt celebrating his historic victory.
• 1:10:29
  Let's talk and it's been up about a
• 1:10:30
  day and I haven't even seen it.
• 1:10:32
  Oh, because I've been watching Maria Zakharova US
• 1:10:36
  Senator Eric Schmidt released the following statement after
• 1:10:40
  the landmark Missouri V Biden is brought the
• 1:10:44
  Missouri journey Attorney General settlement and consent decree.
• 1:10:48
  That means agreement in a huge win for
• 1:10:50
  First Amendment rights settlement prohibits the US Surgeon
• 1:10:54
  General Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and
• 1:10:57
  cybersecurity and infrastructure security agents from pressuring social
• 1:11:01
  media platforms into censoring constitutionally protected speech so
• 1:11:06
  I can wear my mask.
• 1:11:08
  Remember when I wore my mask and put
• 1:11:09
  it out there said fuck masks.
• 1:11:12
  I rode across my mask and put it
• 1:11:13
  on and went through the airport in corporate
• 1:11:16
  Corpus Christi.
• 1:11:17
  Where was I Brownsville, Texas can't remember and
• 1:11:19
  then transferred from Brownsville in Dallas Fort Worth
• 1:11:23
  and then flew into Columbia and all the
• 1:11:26
  time wearing that freaking mask because they wanted
• 1:11:30
  me to and every time the one of
• 1:11:32
  the steward I came up and would say
• 1:11:35
  something I would make sure that my mask
• 1:11:40
  was appropriately situated and I didn't get treated
• 1:11:42
  very well because freedom speech is dead in
• 1:11:46
  America.
• 1:11:46
  Well, apparently it is no longer dead.
• 1:11:49
  This is a massive win for the First
• 1:11:50
  Amendment and for every American who believes in
• 1:11:53
  free speech said Senator Schmidt under Biden.
• 1:11:56
  We saw the most aggressively liberal and anti
• 1:11:59
  -liberty excess of government that America has ever
• 1:12:02
  seen and as a G I sued I
• 1:12:08
  sued the administration for brazenly colluding with Big
• 1:12:13
  Tech to silence Missourians.
• 1:12:15
  Ah wonder if he's planning to run for
• 1:12:17
  president to we're going to have two of
• 1:12:18
  them trying from from here.
• 1:12:19
  We're going to have Eric Schmidt based on
• 1:12:21
  First Amendment.
• 1:12:21
  We're going to have Josh Hawley because he's
• 1:12:25
  always you know, they you know, that's his
• 1:12:27
  goal.
• 1:12:28
  You can see him.
• 1:12:29
  That guy is nothing but an advertisement.
• 1:12:32
  He's a walking billboard and he will he
• 1:12:35
  will speak out.
• 1:12:36
  He's the he's the press Hound and now
• 1:12:39
  he's starting to let his hair go gray
• 1:12:41
  and he's trying to look scholarly and leaderly
• 1:12:46
  and that is part of the political machine.
• 1:12:49
  That's how it works and his next step
• 1:12:52
  is to run for something cool or to
• 1:12:54
  get a point.
• 1:12:55
  It as some big flunky for some big
• 1:12:58
  agency and then do it, you know, that's
• 1:13:02
  that's how it works in America as a
• 1:13:05
  G I being Senator Schmidt sued the administration
• 1:13:10
  for brazenly colluding with Big Tech to silence
• 1:13:13
  Missourians.
• 1:13:14
  Here's a Missourian Colin and I will take
• 1:13:16
  him but I'm telling you you go off
• 1:13:19
  the rails on me.
• 1:13:21
  Tell you what you go off the rails
• 1:13:23
  and talk about weird crap and or you
• 1:13:26
  belittle me or any of the other people
• 1:13:27
  on the show you're getting hung up on
• 1:13:29
  your opinion is welcome.
• 1:13:31
  You are not so let's try that again.
• 1:13:35
  You phone in frequently and I declined and
• 1:13:40
  I declined because you're personally offensive.
• 1:13:45
  Okay, and that's all here.
• 1:13:48
  Hold on one second.
• 1:13:49
  We're going to see if he's paying attention.
• 1:13:51
  This person is just personally offensive and has
• 1:13:55
  been personally offensive to every person on the
• 1:14:00
  program.
• 1:14:02
  And so the warning is if you're personally
• 1:14:05
  offensive to me or anybody else on the
• 1:14:08
  program, I'm disconnecting you your opinion is welcome,
• 1:14:14
  but you are not can you work under
• 1:14:18
  those circumstances?
• 1:14:21
  Yes, you can.
• 1:14:23
  All right.
• 1:14:23
  And so you heard what I said.
• 1:14:25
  I don't I don't want personally.
• 1:14:26
  I don't want any personal attacks on me
• 1:14:29
  or anyone else but your opinion is welcome.
• 1:14:34
  Well, I just want to talk about myself.
• 1:14:36
  That's all you guys do on here.
• 1:14:37
  Anyway, well fine, you don't see and see
• 1:14:39
  it's it's it's a little comments like that
• 1:14:42
  that say that you you that you dislike
• 1:14:45
  you can't help it and I realize that
• 1:14:48
  you cannot help it.
• 1:14:50
  You must do it.
• 1:14:52
  But obviously you like damn radio because you
• 1:14:55
  listen all the time you phone in all
• 1:14:58
  the time and I'd like to take your
• 1:15:00
  comments.
• 1:15:01
  I'd like to take your commentary, but I'm
• 1:15:03
  not going to take your abuse of me
• 1:15:05
  or anyone else saying that we talk about
• 1:15:07
  ourselves.
• 1:15:08
  If you want a program get one and
• 1:15:10
  talk about yourself if that's what you like,
• 1:15:13
  but I believe we give good information and
• 1:15:15
  we talk to other people and we talk
• 1:15:17
  about things that people listen to and we
• 1:15:19
  have a pretty good listenership.
• 1:15:21
  It's not like people aren't listening and and
• 1:15:23
  you don't have any callers, but I reject
• 1:15:27
  most and some of and a lot of
• 1:15:29
  people are pre-recorded.
• 1:15:31
  So what's the difference who cares?
• 1:15:35
  Well, I don't well, I can't imagine you
• 1:15:37
  have a lot of listeners and no interaction.
• 1:15:40
  Oh, okay.
• 1:15:40
  Well then interact.
• 1:15:42
  What would you like to say?
• 1:15:46
  Let's talk about how everybody just seems to
• 1:15:50
  be glossing over the war.
• 1:15:52
  Well, then go ahead.
• 1:15:54
  Let's do it.
• 1:15:56
  I agree with you on that point, by
• 1:15:58
  the way.
• 1:16:00
  Do you think it's time to invoke article
• 1:16:03
  25 or whatever?
• 1:16:05
  Did you hear him say that yesterday that
• 1:16:08
  he got a prize?
• 1:16:11
  From Iran?
• 1:16:14
  I've heard him say some extremely offensive things.
• 1:16:17
  I don't I haven't heard the prize thing
• 1:16:18
  yet.
• 1:16:19
  Tell me about it.
• 1:16:22
  Yesterday.
• 1:16:23
  He said Iran was begging for an end
• 1:16:26
  which which they're not if you if you
• 1:16:28
  watch anything you can they're on wave.
• 1:16:33
  Wave 80.
• 1:16:35
  Right, right.
• 1:16:36
  They're not they're not quit.
• 1:16:37
  No, they're not quitting and I've said that
• 1:16:40
  they are not quitting and who is the
• 1:16:44
  people who are getting their asses kicked are
• 1:16:47
  American and forces in the Middle East that
• 1:16:52
  are Qatar Bahrain Bahrain is have an internal
• 1:16:57
  dispute right now to try to take out
• 1:17:00
  their own leadership mostly because of the war
• 1:17:04
  and and their support and foreign bases those
• 1:17:07
  those Gulf countries are in extreme turmoil right
• 1:17:11
  now and they're and they are getting bombed
• 1:17:13
  every day and we aren't getting the truth
• 1:17:16
  here.
• 1:17:16
  I'm I'm I'm a proponent of pointing that
• 1:17:19
  out.
• 1:17:20
  I talked about Scott Ritter who also pointed
• 1:17:22
  that out on the show that I was
• 1:17:25
  telling you about earlier and the people who
• 1:17:27
  are in the know like the guy who
• 1:17:29
  left the the security divisions in in the
• 1:17:36
  last week or so Joe Kent the guy
• 1:17:39
  who left he's right that guy is correct.
• 1:17:42
  And so what do they do?
• 1:17:43
  They destroy them they get on and they
• 1:17:46
  they arrest for example Scott Ritter and take
• 1:17:49
  away his passport, you know, that was that's
• 1:17:52
  how the government that's how they silence people
• 1:17:55
  and they took Joe Kent and turned him
• 1:18:00
  into a guy.
• 1:18:00
  Oh, he was leaking things.
• 1:18:02
  That's why he had to go.
• 1:18:04
  Yeah, you know, I don't believe any of
• 1:18:07
  that.
• 1:18:07
  So the prize I'd like to know what
• 1:18:10
  the prize was but I definitely understand what
• 1:18:13
  is going on in the Middle East and
• 1:18:15
  most Americans are against what's going on in
• 1:18:19
  the Middle East.
• 1:18:20
  I believe the numbers the last numbers I
• 1:18:22
  saw were like 40% maybe four and
• 1:18:27
  there's a heavy and a strong 48%
• 1:18:30
  that are against it and those in the
• 1:18:33
  middle mainly lean toward, you know, wait, we'll
• 1:18:37
  have to wait and see but generally against.
• 1:18:42
  Yeah, well part of the issue is unless
• 1:18:44
  you unless you're searching for the other side,
• 1:18:49
  the media will just tell you that everything's
• 1:18:53
  fine or it's it's a it's incredibly biased.
• 1:19:00
  This is one thing I need to say
• 1:19:05
  is a it cracks me up.
• 1:19:08
  The Jr. Thinks that they're going to get
• 1:19:10
  a Omega Capitol Hill on midterms.
• 1:19:16
  Well, I unfortunately, I believe the reverse and
• 1:19:20
  I've talked to Jr. About that and Jr.
• 1:19:22
  Is friggin awesome.
• 1:19:23
  He's one of the one of the if
• 1:19:25
  I have close friends, you know, I consider
• 1:19:30
  he may not consider me one but I
• 1:19:32
  consider Jr. Somebody you can have a great
• 1:19:35
  conversation with that.
• 1:19:36
  You can be you can have a differing
• 1:19:38
  opinion even and he will at least listen
• 1:19:41
  and trust me.
• 1:19:42
  He and I have had our differences on
• 1:19:44
  especially on this particular topic, but you know,
• 1:19:48
  I it does it cracks me up that
• 1:19:51
  that he thinks that the the debt is
• 1:19:58
  going to be gone in three years, you
• 1:20:00
  know, that that is, you know, we have
• 1:20:02
  we have several large bets that we'd like
• 1:20:04
  to make and by God, I love him.
• 1:20:06
  I hope he's right.
• 1:20:07
  I truly hope he is right and I'm
• 1:20:09
  wrong and I hope he's right about what
• 1:20:13
  Trump what he says Trump is trying to
• 1:20:15
  accomplish and I ran I do not see
• 1:20:18
  it that way.
• 1:20:19
  I think it's the biggest mistake of of
• 1:20:23
  Trump's total was starting with Venezuela and into
• 1:20:27
  well, I start I think as soon as
• 1:20:29
  he started talking about America's taken over the
• 1:20:33
  planet, you know, Greenland's mine Venezuela's mine Cuba's
• 1:20:38
  mine Iran's mine.
• 1:20:39
  I'll run Iran.
• 1:20:41
  I'll hell I'll just run Iran to I'm
• 1:20:43
  the king of the world.
• 1:20:44
  I disagree with those things.
• 1:20:48
  Say what?
• 1:20:50
  Yeah, we seem to be getting it's just
• 1:20:53
  doubling down on that stuff and the Congress
• 1:20:55
  isn't going to do anything about it.
• 1:20:57
  No, they're too stupid and and I'm telling
• 1:21:00
  you they're stupid and they're stupid about a
• 1:21:03
  lot of things but all they're doing is
• 1:21:04
  trying to get to their next election and
• 1:21:06
  that's what they're doing and the the war
• 1:21:08
  thing here in Iraq is the exact same
• 1:21:11
  story.
• 1:21:12
  I mean in Iran.
• 1:21:12
  It's the exact same story as Iraq.
• 1:21:15
  We were sold a bill of goods that
• 1:21:16
  was crap and we got involved in a
• 1:21:19
  long war that was crap same thing in
• 1:21:21
  Afghanistan 20 years how much 6,000 people
• 1:21:25
  died and of Americans by the way, and
• 1:21:29
  and it's it's it was a crap war
• 1:21:32
  never should have happened Ukraine crap war never
• 1:21:35
  should have happened now.
• 1:21:37
  We're looking at starting all day.
• 1:21:38
  We're going to send them in day.
• 1:21:39
  It'll be like Iwo Jima, you know, there's
• 1:21:42
  TV people put near Iwo Jima up there.
• 1:21:44
  We're taking Carg Island Carg Island's got a
• 1:21:46
  population of 50, right?
• 1:21:49
  No, that's a lie.
• 1:21:50
  I mean, I don't know but it's tiny
• 1:21:51
  you might go in and capture but guess
• 1:21:53
  what's going to happen.
• 1:21:54
  They're going to bomb the shit out of
• 1:21:56
  it themselves.
• 1:21:57
  That's what's going to happen and they're going
• 1:21:59
  to blow up all 2,000 of your
• 1:22:02
  82nd Airborne idiots that well, they're not idiots.
• 1:22:06
  I apologize.
• 1:22:06
  Those are Patriots.
• 1:22:08
  I was in the military.
• 1:22:10
  I'm a Patriot and by God if I
• 1:22:12
  was one of them, I would do what
• 1:22:14
  I was told because that is the contract
• 1:22:16
  that I signed and I would do it
• 1:22:20
  and I would do it but I would
• 1:22:22
  hate every second of it in question.
• 1:22:24
  Why and that's why I did that's why
• 1:22:26
  they called me sergeant.
• 1:22:27
  Why because I want to know why that's
• 1:22:31
  why my mom said because I said so
• 1:22:33
  and I don't accept that and by the
• 1:22:36
  way, I get my opinions from other places
• 1:22:38
  and I appreciate what you just told me
• 1:22:39
  and I think that ultimately your right to
• 1:22:44
  yeah.
• 1:22:46
  Well, I don't know if you if you
• 1:22:53
  listen if you listen to what the what
• 1:22:55
  what the Iranians put out they be social
• 1:22:58
  media like like Trump does and that's embarrassing.
• 1:23:01
  He's an embarrassment and everything he does is
• 1:23:06
  totally embarrassing.
• 1:23:07
  But what they said is they've been they've
• 1:23:10
  been drilling for 20 years for for an
• 1:23:13
  invasion in the Persian Gulf.
• 1:23:17
  That's absolutely true.
• 1:23:20
  They're dying for it.
• 1:23:22
  Well, and and one of the important things
• 1:23:24
  that Scott Ritter said yesterday and if you
• 1:23:27
  haven't seen it, you should well, okay, fine.
• 1:23:30
  He can suck but what he said is
• 1:23:33
  very important.
• 1:23:35
  He said that they have been been thinking
• 1:23:37
  about this and planning this for years and
• 1:23:40
  it's correct.
• 1:23:41
  If you go out to the things that
• 1:23:42
  you were just talking about here is a
• 1:23:45
  fact that has come out the people in
• 1:23:48
  the streets in Iran.
• 1:23:50
  They are not there's a small tiny group
• 1:23:53
  of them there.
• 1:23:54
  You got your extremists everywhere and there's a
• 1:23:57
  small group of extremists who say, you know,
• 1:24:01
  die of George Bush die America die, you
• 1:24:04
  know that will kill everybody cut the baby's
• 1:24:06
  heads off slice women in half like Trump
• 1:24:09
  is saying.
• 1:24:10
  I'm not saying those people have never existed.
• 1:24:12
  However, this the chanting in the the public
• 1:24:16
  displays in Iran right now are in favor.
• 1:24:22
  Don't you dare capitulate is what the Iranians
• 1:24:25
  are saying and trust me.
• 1:24:27
  I met enough Iranians when I lived in
• 1:24:29
  Qatar.
• 1:24:29
  So they're great people fantastic.
• 1:24:32
  They may be Muslim.
• 1:24:34
  So what they're great people and when you
• 1:24:37
  talk to them, they're just as great as
• 1:24:39
  a lot of people here and when they
• 1:24:41
  get when they were talking that they talk
• 1:24:43
  about this topic.
• 1:24:45
  It's always always why in the hell are
• 1:24:48
  you guys always beaten up by rent because
• 1:24:51
  I ran is the next Afghanistan.
• 1:24:53
  That's why and Iran's got far more oil.
• 1:24:56
  So there's something to steal Trump is playing
• 1:24:59
  an economic game that he's going to lose.
• 1:25:04
  You know, the greater Israel project.
• 1:25:07
  I know what it is.
• 1:25:08
  Well, I know what it is and I
• 1:25:11
  disagree.
• 1:25:14
  Well, I hope so.
• 1:25:15
  But anyways, Josh likes to talk about the
• 1:25:24
  the that's okay.
• 1:25:32
  It happens.
• 1:25:32
  I do that too.
• 1:25:33
  Sometimes and I go on to a different
• 1:25:35
  topic.
• 1:25:35
  So did you remember?
• 1:25:38
  It's about the about the greater Israel project.
• 1:25:41
  If if if that general that said that
• 1:25:46
  in 2003 that we were going to take
• 1:25:50
  Kuwait in Syria.
• 1:25:53
  Yeah, I don't remember his name, but that
• 1:25:54
  guy needed to be charged with a crime.
• 1:25:59
  I'm sorry to interrupt you.
• 1:26:00
  Keep going.
• 1:26:02
  Yeah.
• 1:26:03
  Well, but he was right.
• 1:26:05
  I think so too.
• 1:26:06
  And they've been right.
• 1:26:11
  You have to be you have to be
• 1:26:13
  some kind of special to think that this
• 1:26:15
  is not just a continuation of what we
• 1:26:17
  just got out of it.
• 1:26:19
  Absolutely is.
• 1:26:20
  This is Deep State to in my opinion.
• 1:26:23
  Now, I'd be happy to be proven wrong,
• 1:26:26
  but that doesn't mean anybody's proven me wrong
• 1:26:28
  yet.
• 1:26:29
  And Jr. And I've talked about it.
• 1:26:30
  Let me ask you about Deep State.
• 1:26:32
  Please do.
• 1:26:32
  Let me ask you about Deep State.
• 1:26:37
  If if it comes fighting with Deep State
• 1:26:40
  like Jr. Says is shouldn't he name who
• 1:26:44
  they are in case something happens to him?
• 1:26:46
  Well, because there isn't a who they are.
• 1:26:48
  I'm going to the and here's here's what
• 1:26:51
  here's a big mistake that Trump and everyone
• 1:26:54
  else has made and will continue to make
• 1:26:56
  until they change it.
• 1:26:58
  Okay, and they won't change it because nobody
• 1:27:01
  wants to address this issue.
• 1:27:03
  The issue is not the the the four
• 1:27:07
  -year president that comes in and changes things
• 1:27:10
  for four years.
• 1:27:11
  Everybody knows that it that they don't matter
• 1:27:15
  at all and four years from now the
• 1:27:18
  Trump Trump is going to have a big
• 1:27:19
  impact because he's been been wildly independent and
• 1:27:25
  does what he wants, but he's not going
• 1:27:27
  to cure the Deep State.
• 1:27:29
  I disagree with that because the Deep State
• 1:27:31
  what it is is the career bureaucrat who
• 1:27:36
  never leaves.
• 1:27:38
  So the one I'm fighting in Missouri the
• 1:27:40
  bureaucrat that I'm fighting in Missouri.
• 1:27:42
  They are they sit in that spot forever
• 1:27:46
  and they don't have to leave the term
• 1:27:49
  limits apply to the legislature and everywhere else
• 1:27:52
  but in the executive branch, the only one
• 1:27:54
  limited by a term is the president you
• 1:27:57
  need to limit the other assholes down below
• 1:28:00
  and get rid of all the way down
• 1:28:02
  to GS 15.
• 1:28:04
  I'd say that you go as low as
• 1:28:06
  GS 15.
• 1:28:07
  Once you've served 20 years get the hell
• 1:28:10
  out go do something else.
• 1:28:12
  We'll give you a full retirement just like
• 1:28:14
  the army make it 30 years.
• 1:28:16
  I don't care but get rid of them
• 1:28:19
  because if you don't get rid of them,
• 1:28:21
  that is the Deep State is the internal
• 1:28:25
  bureaucracy that will never go away and always
• 1:28:28
  knows you only got to live through this
• 1:28:30
  president to get to the next one is
• 1:28:32
  some government employees.
• 1:28:34
  Yep, that doesn't make any sense brother.
• 1:28:36
  Well, maybe I'm wrong.
• 1:28:38
  I've been wrong before but I'm not wrong
• 1:28:39
  on this one.
• 1:28:40
  I don't believe it.
• 1:28:41
  I believe I just want to it's invisible
• 1:28:44
  enemy for Jr. Just want to know who
• 1:28:46
  you thought it was.
• 1:28:47
  So you think it's embedded US government.
• 1:28:50
  I think it is embedded US government.
• 1:28:52
  I think it is the big time money
• 1:28:55
  that keeps the embedded people business.
• 1:28:58
  So if you think about this, okay, if
• 1:29:00
  you want to have a casino, we're going
• 1:29:05
  to go with casino because Missouri allows what
• 1:29:07
  I don't remember the number you there can
• 1:29:09
  be 15 casinos.
• 1:29:11
  In Missouri.
• 1:29:12
  So one casino decides to shut down.
• 1:29:15
  Okay.
• 1:29:15
  This is the Deep State that I'm explaining
• 1:29:18
  to you right now.
• 1:29:19
  Okay.
• 1:29:20
  How do you who does the regulator approach
• 1:29:24
  to fill that spot and this might be
• 1:29:27
  a bad example, but but think bigger.
• 1:29:29
  I'm giving a small example because this is
• 1:29:32
  how it works at every level.
• 1:29:34
  Okay, and how it works is I've got
• 1:29:38
  this casino.
• 1:29:38
  No, I'm Senator such-and-such and I
• 1:29:42
  run the committee for casino regulation that directs
• 1:29:46
  the casino industry what to do.
• 1:29:48
  So where's the fight the fights between the
• 1:29:51
  regulator the long-term bureaucrat who's been here
• 1:29:54
  forever the senator who's buddies with several people
• 1:29:57
  in his district who want to spend the
• 1:29:59
  money.
