  In this political Coliseum, we slay the rising beast with the big resort of truth that transcends hypocrisy and censorship.
• 0:16
  It's time to unleash yourself from the tyrants of media propaganda on the America Out Loud Talk Radio Network.
• 0:26
  This is unleashed the political news hour.
• 0:32
  Welcome back, Patriots, to another edition of Unleash the Political News Hour, part of America Out Loud Talk Radio.
• 0:40
  In an era defined by escalating threats to public figures, political activists and everyday Americans, we need to be informed and really understand at a professional level why we got to have security, why we need to have OPSEC.
• 0:56
  And uh, and so I've had a friend of mine who uh really is is probably one of the best people suited to get into that topic.
• 1:04
  And I want to give you guys a heads up too.
• 1:06
  You know, this uh I'm I'm recording this in advance because I've got a funeral that I gotta go to uh next week.
• 1:12
  So I'm gonna be out for that.
• 1:14
  So this is a a kind of pre-recorded thing here.
• 1:16
  But I I wanted to really get into this topic because there's a lot of threats that are going on right now, especially in light of the you know, the conflict that's going on in the Middle East and threats that are being made.
• 1:27
  Uh, we've also seen just you know, elevated uh, you know, political violence, uh, you know, Charlie Kirk, and and uh it just seems like the far left is getting crazier and crazier, and uh there seems to be no end to it.
• 1:40
  So I wanted to bring somebody on that could talk to that and speak to that and and really just share some wisdom with my audience.
• 1:50
  And uh to do that, I have with me today, Salvatore, uh bros the third.
• 1:56
  I call him Sal.
• 1:58
  We met uh at an event, uh, basically at a podcast type of you know thing that we were doing together, working on a project and really hit it off.
• 2:08
  Um, you know, had that camaraderie of both of us being, you know, former army.
• 2:12
  Um, but he's the real deal, you know.
• 2:14
  I was just a uh uh you know communications guy, you know, he was uh you know, one of these guys that was out there um, you know, in the thick of it.
• 2:22
  And so uh without further ado, uh, you know, Sal, thanks so much for joining today.
• 2:28
  Yeah, Nate, thanks for having me on, man.
• 2:29
  It's a privilege and an honor.
• 2:31
  And just a side note, real quick.
• 2:33
  Hey, combo's no light thing.
• 2:35
  Without comma, we can't talk, so we wouldn't survive in the field very long without it.
• 2:39
  So we appreciate you.
• 2:41
  Well, you know, it's it's funny.
• 2:43
  When I got in, right, uh, they had um I was trained on as a telecommunications computer operator maintainer on um the TIC 39 Alpha.
• 2:54
  And that that's the top secret messaging switch.
• 2:57
  And I think I I went through the training on it.
• 3:01
  Uh it was almost a year of training.
• 3:03
  They sent me to Korea.
• 3:04
  I did my first tour over there, and by the end of the tour, they were decommissioning that piece of equipment.
• 3:09
  So they said, well, you can go back to school or you can do OJT.
• 3:13
  And so I I opted for uh, you know, on the job training, and uh, and that set me up for my career.
• 3:19
  You know, it set me up uh, you know, for cybersecurity, and uh I'm grateful to the army was one of those things where uh I was pretty undisciplined before I went in.
• 3:28
  And I think it gave me, you know, it gave me a lot of discipline.
• 3:31
  It wasn't easy.
• 3:32
  Uh you know, it was it was very difficult.
• 3:34
  Uh certainly wasn't I was not a lifer without a doubt.
• 3:38
  Uh, you know, I I did not want to uh turn it into a career, but um it it propelled me forward into my career, and then I continued to serve uh as a uh DOD employee and as a contractor, defense contractor for most of my career.
• 3:54
  Um at least, you know, probably 25 years uh doing that.
• 3:59
  And then you know, I've had some other, you know, really interesting experiences in different federal you know agencies, but tell me and tell our audience a little bit about your background and uh you know, in in your your experiences.
• 4:13
  Uh I mean, short and sweet.
• 4:15
  I came in as a combat engineer and then uh was a sapper, a breacher, it was explosive expert.
• 4:21
  Um, we supported the infantry.
• 4:24
  I went on to becoming a paratrooper and deployed to Italy uh or stationed in Italy, and then we later on deployed to Iraq and then became you know, like the ping pong ball, right?
• 4:34
  It's or planned tenants between Iraq and Afghanistan for all those years.
• 4:38
  But I really did develop my my craft.
• 4:42
  I became very knowledgeable about explosives.
• 4:45
  At first, it's always P plus P, right?
• 4:47
  Like you just the bigger the matter the better, right?
• 4:49
  And just blow it all up.
• 4:51
  But I had the opportunity to work with uh special forces, and they had 18 Charlie positions that they were using, which is uh a breacher, and they taught me how to fine-tune that craft to taking a smaller amount of explosives and doing the same job.
• 5:08
  So it was uh again an honor and a privilege to have that education to work with some of the world's best at it.
• 5:15
  Um I got out of the military in 2011 and immediately started a contract, right?
• 5:22
  That's just what we know, right?
• 5:23
  So I went back doing the same job just as a civilian and did that for about five years.
• 5:29
  Last tour was in Afghanistan, and I ended my career breaking my back, uh, paralyzed me for about two weeks.
• 5:37
  They met avack me out, Blackhawk and sent me out to a UK hospital and told me I'd never walk again.
• 5:43
  And I'm like, well, that's watch this shit kind of sort of thing, right?
• 5:47
  And about three or four days later, started feeling that you know the sensation of my my big toe and my right foot, and I'm like, ah, I got this.
• 5:55
  Like, come on, man.
• 5:56
  And I literally for like 23 hours a day would stare at that toe and like manifest it to move, like I dare you to move.
• 6:04
  And finally, you know, the feeling moved up my legs and back on my feet again.
• 6:08
  And but that was the end of my career.
• 6:11
  Uh, military's over, contract careers over.
• 6:15
  Um, so I didn't know what to do.
• 6:16
  So I went home, started a security company, and started doing high-end executive protection for celebrities and dignitaries and just wealthy individuals all over the country.
• 6:26
  And I started sending people around the world.
• 6:29
  Now that that company is uh sword and shield LL.
• 6:32
  So that was that was a different company after that.
• 6:35
  No longer that company's gone.
• 6:37
  Um what I do uh it's called Sword and Shield.
• 6:44
  And it started it as right at the end of COVID, middle of COVID to end the COVID, as just people coming to me saying, Hey, Sal, you're in the army, right?
• 6:52
  I'm like, yeah.
• 6:52
  They're like, Well, do you know how to shoot?
• 6:53
  And I'm like, Yeah.
• 6:55
  And they're like, okay, great.
• 6:56
  Um, I have this gun that I haven't touched, and I don't even know where it is anymore.
• 6:59
  Like for five years, it's in the closet or some blankets, and I'm like, oh, okay, stop.
• 7:03
  I'm like, what just bring it to me and let me see if it's not rusted shut and we can figure out next steps.
• 7:10
  And I just started teaching these classes.
• 7:13
  You know, one person here, two people there, five people, and I wasn't even charging for it.
• 7:17
  Like it just, I'm just helping people at this point, right?
• 7:20
  It's COVID.
• 7:20
  People are scared.
• 7:21
  They wanted to defend themselves or families in their house.
• 7:24
  So I came up with uh something I call a range day program and then a home assessment where the home assessment, I come to you, man.
• 7:33
  I, you know, we go 360 degree, like six step of your house inside, outside, room by room.
• 7:40
  We train your family, your you know, your dog, even it doesn't matter.
• 7:44
  We go over, you know, using reflective surfaces, how to use your weapon in your home over penetration, what rounds work and what rounds you shouldn't use in a home defense type situation.
• 7:54
  You know, we come up with a password or a safe word where at three o'clock in the morning, mom or dad start screaming pineapple, you know, the kids know that's the oh shit word.
• 8:02
  I need to get to where I need to get to in the safe room.
• 8:05
  We have 911 procedures.
• 8:06
  How do you really talk to the police?
• 8:08
  You know, there's a way to do that effectively, and there's a way to prevent them to from getting to you quickly.
• 8:14
  So we we disregard all the things that are bad and uh teach people how to really, you know, use their skills and and from what I've learned in the military to keep them safe in the worst possible scenario that they're going through it at a certain time.
• 8:29
  And then the range day, it's it we use a shoot house with sim guns, and you get to shoot at each other with you know, sim rounds, and it's a realistic live role plan scenario event where you come to me and this is a five-hour course, you go through the shoot house for like three, three and a half hours.
• 8:44
  We do a catered lunch after lunch, we take it to live fire range, right?
• 8:48
  So we work on fundamentals, just the fundamentals, the basics.
• 8:52
  Because what I learned in my military career, we all young guys like, oh, we got to get to the most advanced, this, that, and the other.
• 8:59
  When you start working with the best, they teach you the basics, right?
• 9:04
  And they utilize the basics, and they're so well versed in the basics.
• 9:09
  That's what makes them look so advanced and professional and things like this.
• 9:14
  So it's just it's very simple.
• 9:16
  Five fundamentals.
• 9:17
  That's it.
• 9:17
  You know, we we don't talk about breathing control because you're already breathing.
• 9:21
  We don't talk about stance, stance is not a fundamental shooting.
• 9:24
  Other I know other people will tell me no, but it's not.
• 9:27
  You're already standing, you're sitting, you're laying down, it doesn't matter.
• 9:29
  How are you gonna get to your weapon and present it effectively and efficiently?
• 9:33
  That's what we have to worry about.
• 9:35
  You're already breathing.
• 9:37
  We teach you little stress drills to so when you when you get the because like my my load, my slogan is so the first time isn't the first time, right?
• 9:46
  Come to me, I put you in that high stress environment.
• 9:48
  We stress you, we scare you.
• 9:50
  We you know, you we put a weapon in your hand with sim rounds in it, we come at you, you know, we shoot all around you, and you have a chance to squeeze a trigger on a real human being in a non-lethal environment.
• 10:00
  Environment giving you the skills and the motivation to learn, hey, or hey, look.
• 10:06
  Well, you know, there must be something to it because the army does that in basic training with live fire drills, you know.
• 10:10
  And uh I remember that that was uh exciting night, you know.
• 10:15
  Yeah, but seeing the tracers going over my head and hearing the uh dynamite going off in those uh you know the uh uh big old uh concrete cylinders and stuff, but uh yeah, it's all designed to really create a scenario so that you can see how you handle things under pressure, and uh I think that's so important.
• 10:34
  Yeah, absolutely.
• 10:35
  I've just taken that philosophy and brought it to the civilian world and teach it to civilians.
• 10:40
  That's all I do.
• 10:42
  You know, I I had uh many of you guys listening to the show uh probably know about my background as a whistleblower.
• 10:49
  Um, I had death threats.
• 10:50
  I had uh multiple attempts on my life, and how I you know, really one of the things that helped me through that was uh I had a couple of guys that came up from another security firm, very similar to yours.
• 11:03
  Uh, they came up and they you know basically helped me outfit my you know my property to make sure that we had clear line of sight.
• 11:11
  Uh there's a lot of things that that you as a human being, um, you you have a kind of an instinctual uh idea of of of how to deal with things that are actually the wrong thing to do.
• 11:21
  Like we had covered up all our windows because we had media people and stuff.
• 11:25
  Bad idea, right?
• 11:26
  Because we need to be able to see them and they need to see us seeing them.
• 11:30
  And um, you know, there's some other things though, like you know, we had a lot of dark spots around our property, and getting lighting in place was you know critically important.
• 11:40
  Probably one of the most valuable things that they they taught me.
• 11:45
  Uh, as I remember them sitting, you know, down with my wife and I, and they said, Look, um, you need to make sure that any time you go somewhere that you got your family with you, and and uh you know, as much as possible because if anybody's gonna take you out, it's gonna be when you're alone.
• 12:04
  And and then he said something that kind of caught my attention.
• 12:07
  He goes, Because that's when I would do it.
• 12:11
  And I realized, you know, these guys are killers, man.
• 12:13
  These guys were SEALs and in special operations, uh, you know, green brays, you know, they're sitting in my living room telling me this.
• 12:20
  I'm going, yeah, these guys probably have done a couple missions like that, and they waited until the guy was away from their family before they took him out.
• 12:27
  That's right.
• 12:27
  So it was a uh it was very enlightening and and and uh you know it it woke me up to the reality um that sometimes the things that we think you know aren't aren't you know correct?
• 12:42
  And and the military uh you know has a lot of you know hundreds of years of of doctrine and training in these things, and they understand that.
• 12:49
  And you do come out of the army, you know, with a lot of really good knowledge in that area.
• 12:54
  For most people probably just kind of let that knowledge fade, but you have taken it to the next level and said, Okay, how do we take this and uh you know, and and help somebody utilize this information to make them you know make their life safer and the and create safety for their family.
• 13:11
  Well, folks, we got to cut to a commercial break, but uh when we get back from the break, we're gonna continue in this conversation uh with Sal.

  Welcome back to Unleash the Political News Hour.
• 15:31
  We're now heading into our second segment.
• 15:34
  And uh before we went on the break, um, you know, I was talking with Sal about kind of the experience that I had of these guys that came into my home and you know, really gave some critical advice that that to be honest with you, I think some of it um, you know, clearly probably saved my life.
• 15:54
  I only know of three attempts on my life.
• 15:57
  There was probably more than that, or would have been more than that, had I not had some other security practices in place.
• 16:03
  One of the things that they had also said was um they recommended that I get a camera uh for my car that's motion activated, and I put it up in my camera because uh that way it would detect if anybody, you know, you know, was was working around my car messing around, you know, with with uh with my vehicle.
• 16:23
  And so there's a lot of things like that that I think are are invaluable, especially for people that are at high risk, you know, you you might be somebody that is um uh you know famous, or you might be somebody that has uh you know, that's uh at a risk for kidnapping or or you know, or you may be a politically active person.
• 16:42
  Um, you know, in my case, I I'd be I was a whistleblower and had become internationally known uh, you know, in the media because of blowing the whistle on uranium one and the FBI's cover up of that.
• 16:55
  And so I think a lot of people uh you know may not think of themselves, you know, being at risk, but there are risks, even to people who are not famous who are not celebrities who are not politically active.
• 17:09
  And we've seen that recently, you know, with this uh shooter down in Texas, you know, who basically shot up a bar and you know killed a couple people.
• 17:17
  Um we've seen this at other mass shooting events and you know, what I call soft targets, right?
• 17:22
  You know, these places where uh supposedly, you know, they say, oh yeah, no guns are allowed.
• 17:27
  Um so that way, you know, those that have guns who don't follow the law uh know exactly where to go and and and get mass casualties.
• 17:36
  Tell me, you know, tell our audience about what people can do to kind of protect themselves in those types of situations.
• 17:45
  Maybe it's a a uh uh you know, maybe it's a a sporting event uh where they can't bring a gun, you know, because they they they check you going in, or maybe it's um you know, a government building, right?
• 17:58
  You know, or something like that.
• 18:00
  What do you recommend for people?
• 18:03
  So unfortunately, in the places that will not allow you to carry firearms or or a knife or any type of weapon, it is extremely hard to defend yourself in those situations.
• 18:14
  However, you can operate on that see something, say something rule, you know, where if and you have to have situational awareness, you can't be blind, don't walk on your phone.
• 18:24
  Okay, keep your phone in your pocket.
• 18:26
  If you have to text or you need to make a call or something comes in and you need to check your phone, stop, put your back up against the wall, check your left and your right flank and get look at your phone and see what that was, respond real quick again before you put it up, look to your left, look to your right, out to your front, put your phone up, and then continue walking in the direction that you were going.
• 18:45
  Um the situation like that the thing in Texas where you had that active shooter.
• 18:51
  He chose a soft target, and he did that for a specific reason because he knew there would be no one there that could oppose him.
• 18:58
  Okay.
• 19:00
  We have the second amendment.
• 19:01
  I think we should lean on that hard.
• 19:03
  You know, we have the right to carry weapons to conceal weapons.
• 19:06
  If you have a weapon and you want to learn how to carry it and conceal it, go get the proper training.
• 19:12
  Uh an untrained shooter is just as dangerous as an active shooter.
• 19:16
  Okay.
• 19:17
  If you don't know what you're doing and you don't have the training, please don't pull your weapon, keep it in your pocket or keep it in your pants in the holster and move on.
• 19:23
  Try to help push people into a safe area.
• 19:28
  If you have the training and you feel comfortable doing so, it is your duty as an American citizen to engage with that individual.
• 19:35
  He poses a direct threat to not only you, your family, the people around you, the business, whatever whatever the case may be, he is there to do as much physical harm and mental harm as possible.
• 19:47
  Okay.
• 19:48
  You have like weapons of mass destruction, it's also a weapon of mass disruption.
• 19:53
  Okay.
• 19:54
  You walk into an event, thousands of people, and you start shooting, it's chaos.
• 19:59
  Then you get to
• 20:00
  Surge, people get crushed, trampled, all these things.
• 20:05
  Learn look at the mindset of a terrorist.
• 20:09
  Look at how they're trained, you know, and adapt that a little bit so you can see it when you see it, right?
• 20:15
  You have to have situational awareness and you have to look ahead and look out and away from you.
• 20:20
  I've always said when any security detail I've ever done, I can see better the farther away I am rather than being close up and in the mix of everything.
• 20:29
  You miss things when you're right inside the bubble.
• 20:32
  You can't see what's coming from the outside.
• 20:34
  You can't you miss things, right?
• 20:36
  Because it catches you in a split second and you have to react.
• 20:39
  The thing about reaction is if the person that's coming at you is already responding or reacting, your reaction time is going to be slower than his because he's already in the action of whatever it is he's doing.
• 20:50
  Okay.
• 20:52
  You mentioned things like the camera in your car.
• 20:54
  I use cameras and lights for the home assessments.
• 20:59
  Nothing's hardwired, everything is motion activated and solar powered.
• 21:03
  We place them strategically around your property and inside and outside of your home.
• 21:08
  So if it's on a perimeter fence or in the wood line, if you have a big piece of property, and you know, a light goes on, and then another light goes on, and then another light goes on.
• 21:18
  You see the direction that that individual or thing is moving, and you see how fast it's moving.
• 21:23
  So you know where to line up your shot if you're using like a sector sketch.
• 21:27
  Like, okay, I know this is my angle, that is my known distance.
• 21:30
  That tree is 300 meters, that stump is 250 meters.
• 21:34
  So you you develop a sector sketch.
• 21:36
  You draw a map of your yard and your home, and you get known distances, and then you practice, you go to the range and you you line up your scope and you know what it is, and get that training from either your local law enforcement or someone like me who's a firearm instructor who's done it, who's a master at it.
• 21:55
  Uh you always want to find the best person possible, right?
• 22:00
  Do your research, find out who it is, and then go find it and get that knowledge.
• 22:05
  I carry everywhere I go.
• 22:07
  Okay.
• 22:08
  And if if I can't carry into a building, I I know damn well what I'm walking into.
• 22:12
  All right.
• 22:13
  And I know where my weapon is.
• 22:14
  So when I have to come out, if I have to come out running, I know how far I'm gonna be from it.
• 22:17
  I know how to get to it.
• 22:19
  I already have my key five in my pocket ready to go.
• 22:22
  Uh, a lot of my female clients, you know, you go to the store, you come out with your bags in your hand, your hands are loaded, you're looking down, you're checking your phone, you got your kids everywhere running around, you're not paying attention, what's out ahead of you, right?
• 22:35
  Use your rings of security, or in the military, we call it five by 25, right?
• 22:40
  So you five meters out, what are you looking at?
• 22:42
  10 meters out.
• 22:43
  What are you looking at?
• 22:44
  15, 20, 25 meters out, what are you looking at?
• 22:46
  Where are the danger areas, right?
• 22:49
  In between cars, that's a danger area ahead of you in a dark area, that's a danger area.
• 22:54
  Um, if you I like to back into parking spaces so I can pull out, you'll you'll never see me unless it's one of those one of those parking lots where you just have to.
• 23:04
  Um strategically place your vehicle in a place that's easy to get away.
• 23:10
  If you pull up to an unknown location, drive around for a minute, right?
• 23:14
  If if you have to be there at three o'clock, leave at two o'clock.
• 23:17
  And so you can get there and kind of scout out the area a little bit.
• 23:21
  Do your planning.
• 23:22
  That's so important.
• 23:23
  People we drive blind nowadays.
• 23:25
  We we put on our GPS on our phone or in our vehicles, and we just drive to this thing, this machine telling us where to go, and we don't really know where we're going.
• 23:34
  We haven't done a proper plan on what we do when we get there.
• 23:37
  And you know, a lot of people don't carry guns anymore, and they just get out and walk blindly hoping that everything's gonna be okay.
• 23:47
  The thing about faith, the thing about hope, it's great.
• 23:50
  I walk by faith, not by sight, but I'm I'm prepared.
• 23:54
  Okay, I know God's got my back, but at the same time, God's also awarded me the opportunity to get that proper training to I I can defend myself, my family, my friends, my community in case of uh an active shooter or someone breaks into my neighbor's house.
• 24:08
  Well, you know what?
• 24:09
  I'm gonna respond to that, right?
• 24:10
  Or you know, and the thing about law enforcement, these guys they have a huge responsibility on the shoulders.
• 24:20
  We as civilians, you know, if if they're responding to a situation, active shooter, get out of the way, let them do their job.
• 24:27
  But if you're in a position to help, help, right?
• 24:31
  Yeah, there was a situation on an airplane very recently.
• 24:35
  Guy got up and was screaming, Death to America.
• 24:37
  I got a bomb, I'm gonna blow the plane up.
• 24:40
  Well, a couple passengers took the guy down, restrained him.
• 24:44
  They did an emergency landing, and then the police department came in and took the guy off the plane.
• 24:50
  What I saw that bothers me is a lot of people take our iPhones out and they start recording this individual.
• 24:55
  What is that?
• 24:56
  What are you gonna do?
• 24:57
  If he blows up the plane, the the video's gone.
• 25:00
  You know, stop recording everything.
• 25:02
  Stop trying to video this and video that and all these things.
• 25:05
  It's not important.
• 25:06
  What's important is human life.
• 25:08
  We've forgotten that.
• 25:09
  I think.
• 25:10
  And I think we need to get back to community.
• 25:13
  We need to get back to the individual itself and and how to bring back God into our community, how to bring back love in our neighbor kind of thing.
• 25:21
  And it's just, you know, I love what there is something to be said about you know, small town America knows everybody, you know.
• 25:29
  Absolutely.
• 25:30
  Um, you you talk about community and uh, you know, neighbors and stuff, like I know my neighbors.
• 25:38
  We've had them over.
• 25:40
  I've been over to their place.
• 25:41
  You know, we we make it a point of getting to know our neighbors.
• 25:44
  Uh, because in the event of you know, some catastrophe, I want to know that uh, you know, people are gonna stay calm and that we're gonna help each other out, and we're not going to, you know, uh turn on each other.
• 25:57
  You know, I have read assessment after assessment um when I was working at the FBI of like you know, doomsday scenarios, and and it all comes down to the cities are the worst place because people turn on each other and eventually they start killing each other.
• 26:14
  And so, you know, it is a I think when you know your neighbors when there's that human element and you have you you know when somebody in your neighborhood is not you know from around there, uh, you know, that that saying you were talking about see something say something, you know, being able to you know, call somebody, hey, you see this guy walking around your property.
• 26:34
  You know, was that guy supposed to be walking around your property?
• 26:37
  Do you know him?
• 26:38
  Just something as simple as that.
• 26:40
  You know, also another thing too that I think is important for people to keep in mind is that in the the day and age that we're living in now with the you know the war that's going on in in Iran, uh there's been multiple statements made by Iranian leaders saying, uh calling for you know, basically all Americans or Israelis are fair game, go after them all, you know, try to, you know, basically terrorize them.
• 27:05
  And you know, and I I don't think that we should walk around feared, you know, fearful or scared, but I do think that we we do need to be a little bit more, you know, have a little more precaution.
• 27:16
  Um yeah, I I walk in, I a perfect example.
• 27:21
  Um, you know, we went somewhere the other day, and and my wife asked me as we're walking out the door, are you armed?
• 27:26
  You know, and you know, because we were going somewhere that we weren't familiar with.
• 27:30
  And um, and then you know, the other thing too is like when we go to a place like a restaurant, I always sit somewhere where I can see, you know, who's coming in, and uh, you know, I have visional visual, I've line of sight to the entrances and exits.
• 27:48
  Uh, I think that's another, you know, kind of important thing.
• 27:50
  Because if you're if you're unaware, like you were talking about people looking at their phones.
• 27:53
  I mean, how many times have we seen somebody walking down the street and they they almost get hit by a car because they're not paying attention, they're looking at their phone.
• 28:01
  Situational awareness is everything.
• 28:03
  I gave a gentleman 30 seconds today.
• 28:05
  He was walking head down in his phone, had a ball cap on, so he couldn't see what was directly in front of him.
• 28:11
  He and I were walking, you know, head to head.
• 28:14
  I just stopped and literally counted.
• 28:16
  This dude ran slap into my hand.
• 28:18
  I put my hand out and he ran smack into my hand.
• 28:20
  I'm like, you good?
• 28:21
  He's oh man, I'm so sorry.
• 28:23
  I'm like, yeah, I know those phones are crazy, right?
• 28:25
  He's yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 28:26
  Whatever.
• 28:26
  And he just, I'm like, that that right there is so important for people to understand.
• 28:31
  When you're walking and you're not paying attention to what's in front of you, you have no idea what's coming at you.
• 28:37
  Um, you said you you go into a restaurant or a building and you never put your back, I never put my back to the front door.
• 28:45
  I always sit close to an exit, you know, or I find up, I'll go put my back up against a wall or position myself somehow strategically in the room where I can get up, I can get out, I can fight, whatever I have to do and defend myself and whoever's with me.
• 28:59
  And if I can't put myself or my back to the door, right, or the wall, use things like reflective surfaces, your sunglasses, take your sunglasses off and put them on the table and look in the the mirrored part of the sunglasses and see.
• 29:12
  I never thought about that.
• 29:13
  Dude, I got I got a trade control of little secrets, man.
• 29:16
  I can give you all day long.
• 29:17
  You know, I can I give a whole class on on the garage of your house because people don't know how to use the garage properly.
• 29:24
  Um, that's a whole class.
• 29:27
  Uh and I get so many surprise looks, you know, like when the first 10 minutes, like, oh my God, I never thought about that.
• 29:33
  I do that all the time.
• 29:34
  I'm like, yep.
• 29:35
  And like you said earlier, if that was me, I'd have you all day long, right?
• 29:40
  I know how to get to you.
• 29:41
  I know when to get to you.
• 29:42
  I know exactly where and when and how you're gonna go out, right?
• 29:46
  And that's what I teach you, you know.
• 29:49
  And people look at me like, dude, you're crazy.
• 29:50
  I'm like, no, I'm just smart, I know what I'm doing, and I don't want to be a victim.
• 29:54
  Yeah, and I don't want you to be a victim either.
• 29:57
  Well, you know, speaking of victims, you think.
• 30:00
  About we have this great privilege, you know.
• 30:04
  Uh, this what's not even it's a right.
• 30:06
  We have this right in this country to uh you know to bear arms to defend ourselves to defend our families, and how many people don't even exercise that?
• 30:18
  It's it's amazing.
• 30:20
  And and you think about it like here, I'll tell you folks why I think it's important.
• 30:25
  We have a perfect example right in front of our eyes, Iran.
• 30:30
  Iran, they were a free people that were just as Western as we were.
• 30:36
  And in the the 70s, you had the Islamists and you had the socialists that came together to overthrow it was the youth that overthrew the government, and then of course the Islamists killed all the socialists and and took over and became a dictatorship.
• 30:55
  Now for 40 something years, they have been basically the people have been essentially in slavery there without any ability to change any of their circumstances.
• 31:07
  And why is that?
• 31:08
  Because none of them were armed.
• 31:10
  None of them.
• 31:11
  We've got to ensure, like, I really look at the fact that we've got so many guns in the hands of of U.S.
• 31:17
  citizens that gives us a much better shot at that never happening in our country.
• 31:23
  But there are pockets of places of where you know the the state governments, you know, have put heavy restrictions on guns to where even if you have guns, it makes it difficult to be able to use them uh to defend yourself.
• 31:35
  I think of like Maryland, where you know they have rules that say if you're in a car, you gotta separate the magazine from you know from the gun, and you know, gotta take a bullets out of it, keep it too different.
• 31:45
  Like that's that's gotta be locked in one case and one locked in another.
• 31:49
  And it's like, are you kidding me?
• 31:50
  Like, what else did one all the time?
• 31:53
  Right.
• 31:56
  I heard uh I think it was uh Bill Marr um has a funny comedic act where he's talking about uh you know he bought a gun and his wife didn't like it, and she's like, you know, you know, take you know, can you make sure it's disassembled?
• 32:09
  You know, and and he goes, Oh, yeah.
• 32:11
  So what am I supposed to do?
• 32:12
  Some you know, murderer comes into the house, I'm gonna run around going, Hey, where's the trigger?
• 32:15
  Hey, where's the spring?
• 32:17
  You know, but try to trying to put it together.
• 32:20
  And I I do think that uh, you know, we have to be prepared.
• 32:24
  Um, and and I think it's our duty.
• 32:26
  I think it's our duty.
• 32:28
  I know this that a lot of people are afraid of guns, but they're not afraid of cars, right?
• 32:34
  Why are they not afraid of cars?
• 32:36
  Because they've learned how to use them.
• 32:38
  And the reality is there's no reason to be afraid of guns if you've had training and you know how to use it.
• 32:44
  And uh, you know, the fact is is that most Americans aren't going around looking to kill somebody, they're not looking at, you know, oh, I'm gonna go and just find some random person, shoot it.
• 32:53
  That's what crazy people do.
• 32:55
  Um, just like people aren't driving their, you know, we're not afraid to walk down the street on the sidewalk, even though a car may be passing and he could just as easily swerve over and try to hit you and kill you.
• 33:05
  And why don't we worry about that?
• 33:06
  Because we know the average human being is not looking out to just kill you know some random person, right?
• 33:13
  And the same is true with guns.
• 33:15
  So do yourself a favor, go out and buy a gun, arm yourself.
• 33:19
  If for no one else but for your family, I've thought many times look, um, you know, if I were in the mall and some shooter came, you know, out there and was like, you know, starting shooting the place up.
• 33:32
  The last thing that I would want to be saying to myself is dang it, I wish I had a gun.
• 33:38
  And so I I try to be armed everywhere I go.
• 33:42
  Uh, you know, if not for me, for my family and for others that are around me.
• 33:47
  Yep.
• 33:48
  And I will say this if if you are going to be a patriot and you're going to carry a firearm, carry a spare mag, okay.
• 33:55
  If it's semi-automatic pistol, not a revolver, it's revolvers kind of thing in the past anyway.
• 34:00
  You have to have the ability to reload.
• 34:03
  Okay.
• 34:03
  If you only have 15 rounds and you get a little overzealous or nervous or anxious or whatever, and you start squeezing that trigger and you and you run out of rounds, now you're dead in water anyway.
• 34:15
  You have to have the ability to do a tactical reload or an emergency reload in that situation when it presents itself.
• 34:22
  That's a very good point.
• 34:23
  In fact, you know, there's been studies on this that show that uh, you know, in a gunfight, the one with the most ammo is the one that wins general.
• 34:31
  I teach a course, it's called 100 rounds for 100 feet.
• 34:34
  You take a building and you quarter it up 25 feet, right?
• 34:37
  So you have four quarters of the building.
• 34:39
  I walk in with a hundred rounds.
• 34:41
  Well, it takes me 50 rounds to go through the first room.
• 34:44
  I have 50 rounds left.
• 34:46
  I go into the next room, I shoot five rounds.
• 34:48
  How many rounds do I have left?
• 34:49
  I go into the third room, I shoot 45 rounds.
• 34:52
  Am I combat effective enough to go into the fourth room?
• 34:56
  Right.
• 34:56
  I need to know my ammo count.
• 34:58
  I need to know my uh my limitations, right?
• 35:04
  Yeah, no, absolutely.
• 35:05
  Well, folks, we got another uh hard break uh to hit here, and um, but this has been a great discussion.
• 35:12
  I think this is really important information.
• 35:14
  Stick around, we're gonna continue this discussion, and uh we've got more coming up too.
• 35:18
  Uh, we're gonna get into the topic of human trafficking and uh talking about what the the kinds of things that you've been working on, things that uh seems the Lord keeps bringing into your life.
• 35:29
  So uh we will be right back after a short break.

  Welcome back to Unleash the Political News Hour.
• 37:25
  I've been talking here with my good friend Sal about personal uh defense and uh you know uh situational awareness and the importance of protecting yourself and your family and your community.
• 37:39
  Um, this next segment, I want to get into change of subject a little bit, but uh Sal, you know, we were talking before um, you know, before we we started this, and and uh it seems like there's some new things that are happening in your life.
• 37:54
  You're you've been very busy working on some stuff.
• 37:57
  Um tell us a little bit about that.
• 37:59
  What are what is going on and what's God been doing in your life?
• 38:02
  Yeah, God's been he's been pushing me in a direction that I really didn't want to go, and I keep trying uh to go the opposite direction.
• 38:09
  And every time I do, he kicks me in the butt and makes me go back.
• 38:12
  Um about a year ago, I got a phone call from a buddy of mine who said he knew a movie director who needed some help with a scene, and I said, sure, have him reach out.
• 38:23
  He did.
• 38:24
  We worked through the process, and we ended up doing uh we ended up filming on the range that I have access to in the shoot house that I that I operate in.
• 38:33
  And uh on the second day of shooting, the director came up to me, says, Hey, listen, we really like you.
• 38:38
  Would you like to stay a part of this?
• 38:39
  I'm like, Yeah, why not?
• 38:41
  So I ended up becoming the assistant director, the producer.
• 38:44
  I acted in the movie.
• 38:45
  I was a military uh advisor, stunt coordinator, and I did the underwater videography.
• 38:52
  Uh, because I'm a I'm a big scuba diver.
• 38:54
  I love to I love a dive.
• 38:56
  Um but it it was really a God thing.
• 39:01
  It's it's it's a faith-based movie.
• 39:03
  It's called the 11th hour, and it's about human trafficking in this one man struggle through faith because he didn't act when he could have or should have and lost an individual, you know, a long time ago.
• 39:17
  And then, you know, we fast forward to present day, and um, he had you know, since taken out the the cartel people that kidnapped this child, and then he's he uh dedicated his life to this to these uh to the anti-human trafficking world, and he goes and he with his team, he rescues kids from around the world.
• 39:39
  And that's when uh he leaned on me a lot to bring in my military expertise and for the realism of the movie to make sure that you know, when we were doing things with weapons and you know, uh certain techniques that looked legit, it looked real.
• 39:56
  So that was that was my role.
• 39:58
  So you mean like in in in movies where
• 40:00
  Where I always laugh at this, but in movies where you see some guy empty out, you know, 50 rounds out of a pistol that could hold maybe 12 rounds at the best.
• 40:09
  Yes.
• 40:10
  Prevent that kind of stuff.
• 40:11
  There were some scenes in the movie because I came into it late, you know, and he showed me part of it.
• 40:15
  I'm like, dude, they're they've literally been shooting for 30 minutes.
• 40:18
  They didn't change a magazine once.
• 40:21
  Yeah.
• 40:21
  I think about I'll tell you where I think about that.
• 40:24
  My career field, of course, in cyber security.
• 40:27
  Whenever I see a movie and the hackers like, I'm in.
• 40:30
  That's never that way.
• 40:32
  It's like seven seconds.
• 40:34
  I got the whole world.
• 40:35
  Yes, they'll spend months trying to get in, you know, not like seconds.
• 40:39
  It just cracks me up.
• 40:41
  No, but it was it was a it was a true pleasure for me to be on this production.
• 40:45
  It was such an education.
• 40:47
  The director really trusted me and gave me a lot of rope, you know, and he would call and we talk for hours, or we'd go film and then we go sit at Waffle House for like another three hours talking about tomorrow.
• 40:59
  And you know, so we didn't sleep a lot, we didn't eat a lot, and we but we worked a lot, right?
• 41:04
  Um the movie was released the day before Thanksgiving on Vin Me O.
• 41:09
  Um didn't really do a whole lot of good on that.
• 41:13
  And we're but he's reaching out to other streaming networks and you know, Angel Studios is looking at it, things like that.
• 41:20
  Um, you can see the trailer, you can see the movie.
• 41:24
  Uh, we can send links out and tell you how to do all that later on.
• 41:27
  But it it's a good movie, it really is.
• 41:29
  And it it was a I mean, it was a true blessing for me to be a part of it.
• 41:33
  And I wasn't was not in my in my purview to be doing a movie or in a movie or anything.
• 41:39
  But since then, got but I don't know what it was about human trafficking, and it just every person I talked to, every right turn, left turn, straight, revert, whatever.
• 41:52
  It had to do with human trafficking.
• 41:55
  And I kept trying to avoid it because I know what that means for me and my my background and what I do, and I just I'm fearful because I know when I dive in, I dive in, and I'm not coming back, right?
• 42:07
  That's just what I do is who I am.
• 42:09
  But I had I have an opportunity right now to use the movie for something coming up, and it's a big deal.
• 42:16
  And I got the director's approval.
• 42:18
  Um, I reached out to several individuals in in my community, and we are I am going to host a black tie events premiere at Truleth Live.
• 42:31
  Uh, we're gonna show the movie, and then we're we're gonna have an intermission, and I'm gonna host it, I'm gonna talk and do other things, and but it's a big charity event, and we're doing it for the House of Cherith.
• 42:41
  Um, and we're I'm hoping to be able to write them a very substantial check at the end of it.
• 42:46
  Um we have uh our political leaders here in the state are are pretty good about a lot of things.
• 42:52
  And uh, I know our governor's wife, Marty, is she's very passionate about anti-human trafficking.
• 42:59
  Our mayor's office uh has a as a um a program about violence reduction and anti-human trafficking leading up to the Fife for World Cup, which starts in June.
• 43:10
  So my goal, my mission right now is to have our premiere before the World Cup kicks off to raise awareness and training and provide uh funding and donations to the organizations in our community that can help these kids and these people come out of traffic.
• 43:29
  Um being trafficked, you know, and and get them back to normal life if that's possible.
• 43:36
  Um that's that's my mission right now.
• 43:38
  That's what I'm doing.
• 43:39
  That God keeps pushing me to it.
• 43:40
  So I finally just said, okay, and I'll I'll I'll I'll go the way you want me to go.
• 43:45
  So you know, I want to just for those that are listening, you may not realize just how prevalent you know this problem is, especially at a an event.
• 43:57
  I just did a search um, you know, on Grok, just you know, asked it, hey, you know, what are give me some some key statistical points regarding association between human trafficking and major events such as FIFA, the World Cup.
• 44:11
  And they said that uh in uh the pre-2006 FIFA World Cup Germany predictions versus reality that uh advocacy groups and media widely circulated uh you know, estimates of 30 to 60,000 women and girls uh would be trafficked into Germany, you know, for sexual exploitation to meet anticipated demand from visitors.
• 44:34
  Um the the uh basically they said that post-event uh assessments uh by international organization for migration and German authorities uh you know that they they start looking into this, and um, you know, that there are large numbers of of uh girls that are being trafficked.
• 44:56
  Um I think it's it's a huge problem that oftentimes is not even reported.
• 45:02
  And I don't even think the government really has a way of knowing, uh, especially in these places where there's been mass migration, uh, where you have like wide open borders and you know illegals that are here that are under you know unaccounted for.
• 45:16
  Yeah, so you know, it is a it's a big problem.
• 45:20
  And and I think that uh, you know, sporting events are one of the biggest things I know.
• 45:24
  Uh NFL, um, Super Bowl.
• 45:26
  That's I I've talked to you know, officers of the law that you know that deal with that, and uh that's a big big problem, you know, surrounding uh you know those types of games and stuff.
• 45:37
  Um what do you see as you know, as the the biggest cause of this in our country today?
• 45:49
  Oh god.
• 45:50
  Um I mean, obviously, this kind of stuff has happened going all the time, it's original sin.
• 45:58
  It goes all the way back to the beginning of man, right?
• 46:00
  Slavery and and sexual slavery and sexual sin, but but it seems like it revolves around a lot of wealth.
• 46:08
  Um people that have a lot of money tend not to live in our normal society levels, you know.
• 46:20
  They think that because I have money I can buy whatever I want, even if it's a human being, and it just a really hard thing for me to understand that you know, I can just take money and I can go buy this human and do what I want with it and then just discard it like it's a piece of trash when I'm done.
• 46:38
  I I don't operate that way, and I wasn't raised that way.
• 46:44
  So that's that's an interesting point because you know a big problem that they've seen in Europe, right?
• 46:52
  With a lot of the migration from some of these third world countries where people were raised that way.
• 46:58
  You think about like especially the Islamic world.
• 47:01
  Um, you know, we're finding out some of the terrible things that have been going on in Iran.
• 47:06
  Uh, that when a girl goes to prison, uh, that you know, if she's you know, gonna be you know executed that under their guidance from the Ayatollah, the former Ayatollah, uh, that they're to rape the girl so that she doesn't get to go to heaven.
• 47:23
  Uh, because uh, you know, they they you know, if she's uh not a virgin, uh, then she'll you know, she'll go to hell or whatever.
• 47:30
  But it's like this is the kind of crazy nonsense.
• 47:33
  The dehumanization, uh, I think is a big problem.
• 47:37
  We see that dehumanization happening, not just in the area of sex, but also in the area of politics, you know, when you have people that are shouting and saying things like, oh, you're a Nazi, you know, and because you're a Nazi, you know, that justifies us to kill you, you know.
• 47:51
  That's that's basically what that's all about.
• 47:54
  So we have a uh this epidemic in the United States now where it's okay to say whatever it is you want to say.
• 48:00
  You want to burn the American flag, fine, burn it.
• 48:02
  You want to death to America, say it.
• 48:03
  No one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna say anything.
• 48:05
  We're just gonna stand by and we're gonna go over here and just listen.
• 48:10
  We we gotta we gotta stand up, right?
• 48:14
  We gotta stop, we gotta take our country back.
• 48:15
  When you have these, and this is how I look at it, you can call me crazy if you want to.
• 48:20
  When I have a foreign-born individual, military-age male coming into my country burning my flag and saying death to America, he's a terrorist.
• 48:31
  Okay, he does not, he should not get awarded the same rights that I have to live by as an American citizen.
• 48:38
  We need to act, we need to act quickly, quickly and swiftly and effectively to neutralize that threat before it becomes a bigger threat.
• 48:46
  If we allow it to happen once, it's gonna happen twice.
• 48:49
  It's gonna get bigger and worse, and it's gonna continue.
• 48:52
  And before we know it, we're gonna wake up one day and we're gonna be controlled by a foreign leader or dictator or whatever.
• 49:00
  We're not gonna have we're not gonna be called Americans, and I'm not gonna be able to get in my truck and travel across the state line or be able to carry a firearm or go to the grocery store because we have these zealots down the street with guns killing us because they can't, and we're because we didn't do anything we could.
• 49:19
  Well, so I so I think that's really what boils down to.
• 49:22
  There are two kind of separate groups, right?
• 49:24
  In one, you have the elites, uh, the super wealthy, the super rich, uh, people that are not accountable to anybody.
• 49:30
  Uh, they live, you know, in a different society, a different world view than we do.
• 49:36
  Um, because they can.
• 49:39
  And and that's part of the problem.
• 49:40
  That's I think a lot of the frustration with like say the Epstein files, right?
• 49:43
  Is that you got all of these elites that clearly were involved with Jeffrey Epstein and his you know sickness, right?
• 49:51
  But nobody has been held accountable.
• 49:54
  The only person uh, you know, that's been held accountable is just Angla uh uh Maxwell.
• 50:00
  So that's that in and of itself is a problem.
• 50:03
  But the other problem is people who do not hold you know the the values that we as a western society hold.
• 50:13
  They don't see women as equals.
• 50:17
  They don't see them as even humans.
• 50:20
  They see them as less than human.
• 50:22
  It's the same ideology that was behind you know chattel slavery and and what you know allowed for justification of that.
• 50:30
  And that world view, in my opinion, should never be allowed citizenship in our country ever.
• 50:38
  Ever.
• 50:39
  Because that is what leads to more of that kind of stuff happening in our society.
• 50:46
  There will always be elites.
• 50:48
  There will always be the powerful.
• 50:51
  And uh, and that's hard to deal with.
• 50:54
  But we do have the ability to deal with not allowing uh you know people into our country uh that mean us harm and that don't hold you know the sacred values that we hold uh you know that are that are in our constitution.
• 51:09
  And um, and I think that's one of the things that is really you know, just it's sad.
• 51:16
  I I look at what's happened in the political world.
• 51:20
  I would I do want to get a little bit into just uh a real quick segue into politics here.
• 51:24
  I look at what's happened in terms of Ilhan Omar and uh Rashida Talib and you know, these these women who are members of Congress that are speaking out in favor of the Islamic Republic, uh, you know, and and are basically trying to tear down Trump for defending the United States against a nuclear threat.
• 51:55
  And it's disgusting.
• 51:57
  It's disgusting, especially because in the case of uh Ilhan Omar, you know, she she was blessed with the you know, with the privilege of becoming an American citizen, and yet she has worked so hard to tear down the very thing uh that saved her, you know, from Somalia.
• 52:16
  And we have a lot of people that that are in this country, uh, you know, that have you know worked really hard to come here legally and who make great Americans.
• 52:27
  But we also have a lot of people that have come here illegally or come here through uh you know, through the the refugee status program, and you know, and and they are not compatible with you know American ideals and we're with Western ideals.
• 52:45
  What are your thoughts?
• 52:46
  Not by chance either.
• 52:47
  They're here on an agenda.
• 52:49
  Yeah, we have to you gotta wake up to that, you know.
• 52:52
  And that's what we have those talks all the time about okay, what do we do?
• 52:56
  Or you know, they're they they should have rights to listen.
• 53:01
  America is is a nation of immigrants, right?
• 53:04
  My grandparents came over and all these, I get it.
• 53:07
  But when you come over specifically to do harm to our country, that that's not citizenship.
• 53:13
  That's not you trying to do the right thing.
• 53:15
  You are being implanted in a nation to do harm to pretty much take us out, right?
• 53:22
  So we have to be very careful and educate ourselves and educate our friends and our families.
• 53:28
  And one thing I I try to do all the time is challenge other men, you know, and uh I look at a man and I you know, I tell him, if you're a husband, if you're a father, if you're a grandfather, if you're a brother, whatever it is, you know, you have the the duty of protection.
• 53:46
  You know, we are we are protectors, we're providers, you know, we have to lean on something, right?
• 53:52
  Or we'll kind of fall for anything, right?
• 53:54
  But as a man, as a protector, it's our duty to protect our families, right?
• 54:01
  If you have a family, if you have a wife, if you have a daughter, imagine your wife and your daughter being taken from you and then thrown into slavery or being thrown into sex trafficking to be just rolled one after the other and beaten and and and being you know addicted to drugs and all these things that would just defile her and her virtues.
• 54:27
  How would you feel about that?
• 54:28
  You know, what would you do to prevent that, right?
• 54:31
  If you don't have the training, if you're not capable, if you're not physically capable, if you don't have a weapon, whatever, figure out a plan, right?
• 54:40
  You're you're the man, you're the head of the household, you're the provider, you have to come up and you have to you have to provide a safety plan for your family and your home.
• 54:48
  It's it's your duty.
• 54:50
  So you know, I I think it's uh Jordan Peterson talks about that uh that part of being a man is that we need to have a monster, yes.
• 55:02
  That one that's under control, but one that we can unleash when necessary.
• 55:07
  And that is really one of the duties, you know, of men is to be the protector of our home.
• 55:12
  In fact, the Bible's pretty clear about it.
• 55:13
  It says that uh he that does not take care of his family is worse than an infidel.
• 55:19
  And, you know, and that's I think uh I think that's really it comes down to is that we have that duty to protect not just our family, but our communities, our neighbors, our country.
• 55:32
  And uh, you know, and and there are some who understand that duty and uh who have served, and uh, and I'm grateful for your service, uh as well as uh the people that are over there right now that are serving uh you know to keep our country safe.
• 55:47
  Uh, I think that there's there's uh there's something that we that's something that that we've I think done a pretty good job of you know, unfortunately, Vietnam, it got really bad, but I think we've done a much better job since then at recognizing and making sure that that's a part of our culture that we recognize the service of of others, uh especially in the military.
• 56:09
  I think we need to do a much better job of recognizing the service of our law enforcement and our border patrol, clearly.
• 56:16
  Um, but you know, it's it really is you know up to the individual having the courage to speak up when they see something, uh, to step in and do something about it when they have the opportunity and the means.
• 56:34
  Folks, uh, this is a a good cause, and it's one of the reasons I want to have Sal on.
• 56:38
  Uh, please do reach out and uh you know, find out how you can help and remember to stay engaged and remember your duty, because we all have a duty to you know, our communities, to our families, to our country.
• 56:55
  With that, God bless and have a great day.
