• 1:09
  Speaker 8: careful with that. Brought to you by Heritage, the Heritage Foundation,
• 1:12
  Speaker 8: Heritage Dot organ all the work they do in helping

  Speaker 8: those who support those leaders know what's going on and
• 1:23
  Speaker 8: know best practices stepping forward, including the Heritage Guide to

• 1:33
  Speaker 8: and fiftieth anniversary of America. So when you go on
• 1:36
  Speaker 8: your tours and you go start checking out some of
• 1:39
  Speaker 8: these places, you won't find yourself in the midst of
• 1:42
  Speaker 8: a woke lecture about things this email. I want to
• 1:46
  Speaker 8: get into this what point, Joe, do these conferences like seapack?
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: What function? Pardon me?
• 1:55
  Speaker 8: What function do they serve? It's a good question, what
• 1:58
  Speaker 8: purpose do they serve? You know, I'm not going to
• 2:02
  Speaker 8: do it right here. We only have a minute before
• 2:03
  Speaker 8: we have to get our first things on, but we
• 2:05
  Speaker 8: will break into your question as to what purpose they
• 2:10
  Speaker 8: serve and why. You know, we do one really big
• 2:15
  Speaker 8: one in the conservative movement Cepack, whereas I think the
• 2:21
  Speaker 8: progressive brand takes this and takes this model and makes
• 2:26
  Speaker 8: it happen. A billion little micro conferences that happened, and
• 2:33
  Speaker 8: you can call them a million things, whether you call
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: them block parties or you know, meetups or coffee clatches
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: or bridge bridge tournaments. The the progressive movement is much
• 2:47
  Speaker 8: better at meeting than the conservative movement.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: We have this one big you know, four day long.
• 2:54
  Speaker 8: It's an explosion of conservatism, and we get out there.
• 2:59
  Speaker 8: But we'll delve into that further in a moment but
• 3:02
  Speaker 8: our first things is a deal on the table for
• 3:05
  Speaker 8: the end of the partial government shutdown. John Thune says
• 3:09
  Speaker 8: we won. Chuck Schumer says we won. As both sides
• 3:14
  Speaker 8: say they will now have some funding for DHS, but
• 3:19
  Speaker 8: not ICE, ICE has been broken out. John Thune told
• 3:22
  Speaker 8: the press that they had already front loaded ICE funding
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: into the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act. Meanwhile, President Trump
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: signed an emergency order saying that they will continue to
• 3:36
  Speaker 8: pay Homeland Security and he'll immediately start paying Transportation Security
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: Administration agents even if they have come to a deal.
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: He wants to get money in their pockets right now.
• 3:49
  Speaker 8: Some ICE agents have begun checking travelers identification documents at
• 3:54
  Speaker 8: airports as they come in to help fill in some
• 3:57
  Speaker 8: of the staffing shortfalls from TEA, leading left wing media
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: outlets to scream that this is going to make people
• 4:05
  Speaker 8: scared to fly with ICE agents at the airport terminals.
• 4:10
  Speaker 8: Bill Maher has been named the winner of the Mark
• 4:13
  Speaker 8: Twain Prize for American Humor. This is an annual award
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: given up by the Trump Kennedy Center. The comedian won
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: the award. Forever longer. Bill has been an influencing an
• 4:27
  Speaker 8: influence in American Discourse. Kennedy Center Vice president for public Relations,
• 4:33
  Speaker 8: Roma Doravi said, Bill Maher issued this statement. Just had
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: the award explained to me, and apparently it's just like
• 4:41
  Speaker 8: an Emmy, except in this case I win. European Parliament
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: voted Thursday to approve a trade deal between Washington and
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: the EU. The terms are a fifteen percent flat tariff
• 4:55
  Speaker 8: and an opportunity for both sides to back out if
• 4:58
  Speaker 8: conditions as the contracts has change. Secretary of State Marco
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: Rubio should be in Europe now, in France to meet
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: with the G seven leaders, where he's going to discuss
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: not just the war in Ukraine, but the bombings of
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, where Rubio, as he
• 5:20
  Speaker 8: left for the G seven summit, told the press the
• 5:24
  Speaker 8: idea that it isn't Europe's war is wrong the quote.
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: Other countries get far more of their fuel from there
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: than we do. President Trump said Thursday that the present
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: he received was that Iran's government let ten oil tankers,
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: including some from Pakistan, who's apparently the intermediary in the
• 5:48
  Speaker 8: fifteen Point Plan negotiations, let ten oil tankers through the
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: Strait of Hormuz. As a goodwill gesture. Those are some
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: of our our first things on this Friday morning.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Hi, this is Bud.
• 6:08
  Speaker 9: Foster, co host of Foster and Friends and former Virginia
• 6:11
  Speaker 9: Tech football coach. When I brought the fame lunch pail
• 6:14
  Speaker 9: to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The word win stood
• 6:17
  Speaker 9: for what's important. Now, the Lunch Pail Defense Foundation realizes
• 6:21
  Speaker 9: the importance of helping others. Our foundation is a nonprofit
• 6:25
  Speaker 9: corporation that helps fund academic scholarship for eligible high school students.
• 6:29
  Speaker 9: Since two thousand and nine, the Lunch Pail Defense Foundation
• 6:32

• 7:01
  Speaker 10: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 10: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
• 7:07
  Speaker 10: to look into, and that's meta share. Maybe you've heard
• 7:10
  Speaker 10: joining metashare can save you or your family up to
• 7:13
  Speaker 10: five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, but it's
• 7:16
  Speaker 10: also true. People are just happier with it. They love
• 7:18
  Speaker 10: being part of something that reflects and promotes their.
• 7:21
  Speaker 11: Values and what they believe in. Meda Share works too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 10: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
• 7:27
  Speaker 10: shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
• 7:31
  Speaker 10: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
• 7:35
  Speaker 10: So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
• 7:37
  Speaker 10: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care

• 8:04
  Speaker 12: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 12: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 8:13
  Speaker 12: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 12: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 12: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 12: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 12: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 12: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 12: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 12: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

  Speaker 14: Hi everybody, I'm Jackham. It's always a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 14: on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 14: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 14: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the

• 10:18
  Speaker 14: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  Speaker 14: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 14: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:26
  Speaker 14: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 14: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 14: perform life saving work every day.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
• 10:36
  Speaker 14: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
• 10:39
  Speaker 14: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
• 10:42
  Speaker 14: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of

  Speaker 5: know here at Seapak.
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: You know it brought to you by Heritage Foundation and
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: our friends at the Virginia Institute for Public Policy as
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: well as Sea Fact c Fact dot org. You don't
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: get to meet people who founded a bank every day.
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: It is the Old Glory Bank, and it's founded in
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: part by listening to these folks, John Rich and Larry Elder.
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: Ben Carson is led by Ed Oldhausen. Ed, thank you
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: for covering So what made you want to start your
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: own bank? Because this is a special kind of bank
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: for Americans, isn't it?
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Great question? Thank you for having me on.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I'm really excited to talk to your audience about Old
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Glory Bank. Started back about twenty twenty when I got
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the idea, felt the great need for America to have
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: a bank that was unabashedly pro America, that would support
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: its military and police, that would not cancel its customers
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: for their reviews or the industry they operate in, and
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: would also protect the propriety the confidentiality of transaction data.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: And some of the big banks were doing some egregious
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: things well in recent years.
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: Well, when I saw your story and it reminded me
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: of Cuomo the Younger, the Emperor of New York there
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: for a while, going after the gun sellers by unbanking them, saying,
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: just those don't take their credit card information right now.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Egregious and we've we've really set out as you mentioned,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: there's some great patriots involved with with Old Glory Bank.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: You know, once we started circulating the idea of a
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: bank that would address the needs and interests and values
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: of we think at least half this country drew the
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: attention of Secretary Ben Carson and Larry Elder, Sean Spicer,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: former Press secretary in the first Trump administration. All three
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: of those individuals are on our board and our co
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: founders of mine with the bank. Country singer John Rich
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: also very early on got involved with Old Glory Bank
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: as a co founder.
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: And everybody think John just starts these bars in places
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: like Las Vegas and Northlera.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Now he does have some fun places to visit and
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: and some things to enjoy, but a wonderful patriot and
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: could not be a better.
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: Spokesman and a good businessman. See all these folks when
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: you talk about them. You know, we know Sean Spicer
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: for his political work in Doctor Carson certainly, but you're
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: talking about people who understand the American point of starting something,
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: maybe not making it the first time, but being able
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: to come back and try again. That which is the
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: American dream, which is I've got some. Edison is a
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: great example of it, although later in life he became
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: a great crony capitalist. But you know, the idea, we
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: need a way to light up our house, and I'm
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: going to try, and I'm going to fail, and I'm
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: going to try and I'm going to fail. Somebody had
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: to be able to support him in those efforts. And
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: that's where American banking is so important.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: It is we take the position, it's very similar analogous
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: to free speech, is that if you're principled about supporting
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: free speech, you of course will support the right of
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: others to say things that you don't necessarily agree with.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: And similarly with Old Glory Bank, rather than just say hey,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: let's form a bank that cancels the other side, we felt,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: truly financial liberty is what we're after and what this
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: country needs. And so really our view is so long
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: as you're awfully operating, you should have the right to
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: be able to participate in our financial system. And it's
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: up to the legislature to come up with what is
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: you know, legal.
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: And now now that's heresy right there, don't you America
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: in twenty twenty six is we don't legislate laws we
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: just tell the police enforce whatever you feel like. God, John, So,
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: what are some of the things about Old Glory Bank
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: that make it different? Certainly your belief in our ability
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: to make and then keep and be safe with our money.
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: Talk about the privacy concerns. I know that you work
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: in the crypto world a lot. That's a volatile's roller
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: coaster too.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So let me first point out to the listeners.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: While we are a Oklahoma state charter bank, we have
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: a fully digital online banking presence, and so I would
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: say ninety nine point nine percent of our customers will
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: never step forward into the one branch in Oklahoma. They're
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: certainly welcome there and it's a great place to go.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: But we are a digital.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: First bank, so whoever, wherever you're living, and we have
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: customers in all fifty states.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Individuals and small businesses.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: We bring on several hundred new small businesses every month
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: and thousands of individuals.
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: So it's spelled Thomas Media Thomas Well in the traditional fashion.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: So old Glorybank dot com people can go, and I
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: point that out so that one people hearing about Old
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Glory Bank.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: It applies to anyone listening. We'd love to have them.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: So what differentiates us, first of all is a set
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: of values, and I think a few people in this
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: country are tired of supporting companies that flat out hate
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: their way of life and their views and so forth.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Old Glory Bank, you can be quite certain in our
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: DNA is that we are proud supporters of our country,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: of our flag and what it represents, our military and
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: first responders. And it goes well beyond just you know,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: kind of waving the flag as great of a thing
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: that is and something we're proud to do.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: We really do try to walk the talk.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: For example, with our military and first responders. So long
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: as you are a customer of Old Glory Bank and
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: you are a military member, any branch or police or
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: firefighter on the first responder side, for free, you receive
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: a one hundred thousand dollars line of duty death benefit,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: which God forbid shoud something happened to that individual in
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the line of duty if they're a customer of Old
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Glory Bank, we along the way have been paying the
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: premium for a policy.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: For the benefit of their of their family members.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: So that's just one example where we really try to
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: tangibly deliver things for that audience, and of course to
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: those who are not we call a protector. Maybe you
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: know a family member of yours is in the service.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Of course, our our commitment there is come to the
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: bank that protects those who protect you and sure something
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: we're proud of. Something also tangible is our commitment to
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: never cancel a customer for their.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Views or the industry they operate in.
• 20:22
  Speaker 18: Uh.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: You mentioned the firearms. That's a great example. I'm a
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: firearms owner, I'm a hunter. I buy ammunition. I can't
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: use PayPal to buy ammunition because in their terms of
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: service in the same paragraph that they outlaw or or
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: prohibit transactions involving no legal drugs and stolen property.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: Thirdly is firearms and ammunition, which is.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: This how did we get here?
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: You know, Eric, you know, how did we wind up
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: in a place where just you know, and maybe it
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: is overly centralized? You know when when we used to
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: get and we would fight monopolies. You like standard oil, Well,
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: I can't get oil, becare is I? I don't I
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: can't get it from standard oil because they won't sell
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: it to me. You know, this is one of the
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: points I've made about being overly centralized. You you limit
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: yourself to these platforms. Luckily, some other groups Venmo and
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: some of these other places are starting up they can
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: offer transactions. But I mean, this is Elon Musk's baby.
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: This is where Elon's money came from with PayPal, Yet
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: the people who have taken.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: It over have fallen prey to the woe.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: All the founders at PayPal have really spoken out David
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Sachs as you mentioned, and just say it's agreedus what
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: and and just you know they're crushed to see.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: What PayPal he's evolved into.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: The big banks as well, b of A, Chase City,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Wells Fargo, all have been shown and not just kind
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: of reports, but you know, congressional testimony of their of

  Speaker 1: their canceling of customers for their views.

• 22:13
  Speaker 21: the thing that one hundred and fifty minutes does not

• 24:31
  Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

  Speaker 8: How are you doing, sir, I'm great, Thanks for having
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: me on. Hang on one second, Paul here. We had
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: a technical difficult Now we can get Paul in here.
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: I appreciate that. Paul, how are you doing this morning, sir?
• 29:44
  Speaker 23: I'm great, Thanks for having me on the show.
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: Not at all, not at all, So tell us in
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: a little bit. You know what is Sea Fact up
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: to right now? I know that you've been working on
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: another piece on energy independence, which I think strikes right
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: at the cord where everything is, especially what's going on
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: in the Middle East.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: Tell us what's happening there.
• 30:10
  Speaker 23: In the Middle East or with seafact.
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: Well see your piece on energy independence, and you know,
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: we hear it as a political phrase, and you know
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: we hear it going on, you know, as some almost
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: like a slogan. But you know, it really means something.
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: When you say we're looking for energy independence in the
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: United States, it has real meaning.
• 30:35
  Speaker 23: It certainly does. If you just look at gasoline prices,
• 30:39
  Speaker 23: that's a good indicator. Kansas and Missouri, Oklahoma, North Dakota,
• 30:43
  Speaker 23: which produce a lot of their own oil and natural gas,
• 30:47
  Speaker 23: they're paying three dollars ten cents a gallon, Texas three sixty,
• 30:51
  Speaker 23: California five eighty per gallon on average. And California is
• 30:57
  Speaker 23: not energy independent. They could be, but they're not. They
• 31:01
  Speaker 23: can have more oil and more gas available to them
• 31:05
  Speaker 23: if they wanted to produce it and refine it, but
• 31:07
  Speaker 23: they don't, so they are importing sixty percent of their gasoline,
• 31:14
  Speaker 23: and forty percent of it comes from the Bahamas. It's
• 31:17
  Speaker 23: actually refined in the US Gulf Coast. And then it
• 31:21
  Speaker 23: goes all the way to the Bahamas so it can
• 31:23
  Speaker 23: be loaded onto ships, tanker ships that can avoid the
• 31:28
  Speaker 23: Jones Act. Then it goes down the coast to the
• 31:32
  Speaker 23: Phanama Panal and up to California. It's just insane. And
• 31:37
  Speaker 23: they're doing this because California doesn't want oil drilling, they
• 31:40
  Speaker 23: don't want refining, they don't care what their people pay
• 31:43
  Speaker 23: for gasoline. Their plan was to have everybody driving electric
• 31:48
  Speaker 23: vehicles in California, and that's not going to happen because
• 31:52
  Speaker 23: of the price of electric vehicles, they're shortcomings and the
• 31:55
  Speaker 23: fact that electric vehicles require massive amounts of metals and
• 32:01
  Speaker 23: minerals that we don't produce here in the United States.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: Either, Paul.
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: You know, and one of the things that I think
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: a listeners listening to the saying hold it. I thought
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: energy independence was a national thing, not just a state
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: by state thing. So talk about, you know what what
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: you know how California, you know, we see we've seen
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: their regulations. Virginia, where our flagship station is, is slaved
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: to some of these crazy regulations. Talk about, you know,
• 32:29
  Speaker 8: how each state can push their own energy independence, whether
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: the national government is able to achieve.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: It or not, because you're talking about gas prices right now.
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: Everyone's pointing at the Strait of Horn Moves where you
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: know the instruction back these tankers going through there because
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: Iran is saber rattling. But some of this isn't directly
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: connected to that, is it.
• 32:55
  Speaker 23: No, it's not not for us anyway. We're not dependent
• 32:59
  Speaker 23: on the Middle East anymore for natural gas or oil.
• 33:02
  Speaker 23: In fact, we are producing more oil in the United
• 33:06
  Speaker 23: States than Saudi Arabia or Russia, and we're producing more
• 33:11
  Speaker 23: natural gas than any other country in the world. But
• 33:16
  Speaker 23: so every state in the US could benefit from this,
• 33:19
  Speaker 23: but California has chosen not to. New York is another
• 33:23
  Speaker 23: state that has chosen not to. They don't want to
• 33:25
  Speaker 23: frack for natural gas in New York, and they're right
• 33:29
  Speaker 23: next to Pennsylvania. So Pennsylvania could be supplying natural gas
• 33:35
  Speaker 23: to New York so that they can have natural gas
• 33:38
  Speaker 23: power plants and greatly reduce their electricity prices. But New
• 33:43
  Speaker 23: York doesn't want any pipelines from getting from Pennsylvania to
• 33:48
  Speaker 23: the state of New York. So people in New York,
• 33:51
  Speaker 23: New Jersey, that whole area there are paying far higher
• 33:54
  Speaker 23: electricity prices. Than the rest of the country.
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: I know you're say, you know, when we talk about
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: energy independence, we're also talking about economic freedom and opportunity.
• 34:07
  Speaker 8: I know you've written a lot on human rights. I mean,
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: you know, they're not unconnected, because if you have freedom
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: and opportunity, then you also have the opportunity for individuals
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: to follow their own path and find human rights. You know,
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: not in the way the left means it, which is,
• 34:26
  Speaker 8: you know, whatever the government decides you filled out enough
• 34:29
  Speaker 8: forms for.
• 34:32
  Speaker 23: Well, that's absolutely true, and that's such an important point
• 34:35
  Speaker 23: you're making. Paul Aerlik, who just died a week or
• 34:38
  Speaker 23: so ago, was incahoots with Don Holdren, who was President
• 34:43
  Speaker 23: Obama's so called science advisor, and they were telling people
• 34:48
  Speaker 23: that we had to de develop and de industrialize the
• 34:53
  Speaker 23: United States and the entire developed world, and then tell
• 34:57
  Speaker 23: the rest of the world Africans were living in mud
• 35:01
  Speaker 23: and thatch hunts what level of economic and other development
• 35:05
  Speaker 23: they would be permitted to have. It's just insane when
• 35:10
  Speaker 23: you try to sell to help people who are the
• 35:12
  Speaker 23: most impoverished in the world, the most now nourished, that
• 35:16
  Speaker 23: they're only going to have a certain amount of development
• 35:20
  Speaker 23: in their future. But this is where the environmentalists want
• 35:24
  Speaker 23: to take us now. I was involved in the very
• 35:28
  Speaker 23: first Earth Day way back in nineteen seventy. I helped
• 35:31
  Speaker 23: organize programs on my college campus. We have had major
• 35:37
  Speaker 23: environmental problems back then, but we solved them over the
• 35:41
  Speaker 23: years air and water pollution, for example. And then the
• 35:46
  Speaker 23: environmental movement started shifting more and more to crazier and
• 35:50
  Speaker 23: crazier things that they claim threaten our lives and our fortunes,
• 35:54
  Speaker 23: our health and so forth. But they're invented problems, their
• 35:59
  Speaker 23: minor problems, and especially when you compare them to the problems,
• 36:03
  Speaker 23: the health and environmental problems that rest of the world,
• 36:07
  Speaker 23: in the poor developing countries still actually have.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, you know, it's funny.
• 36:13
  Speaker 23: You see that as eco imperialism and even racism on
• 36:17
  Speaker 23: the part of the environmental movement.
• 36:19
  Speaker 8: But you know, they're the same people that will claim
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: American empire if we go and try to finally break
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: Iran's population free from its dictatorship. But we're the ones
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: trying to make empire. They're the ones who are out
• 36:32
  Speaker 8: in all these other countries trying to tell them how
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: they should live, and it never works out. If you've
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: ever seen the documentary The poverty inc. Is the name
• 36:43
  Speaker 8: of the documentary Poverty Poverty Ink, and it details how
• 36:47
  Speaker 8: all of these do gooder programs actually devastate local economies.
• 36:55
  Speaker 23: Well absolutely, and it goes beyond that because this same
• 37:00
  Speaker 23: people pushing those programs are pushing the wind and solar
• 37:04
  Speaker 23: power that takes far more natural resources, metals and minerals,
• 37:10
  Speaker 23: far more land kills millions of birds and bats every year.
• 37:15
  Speaker 23: And once you've built all of that and all the
• 37:18
  Speaker 23: excess transmission lines, you still have to have backup power.
• 37:23
  Speaker 23: So you have to double your investment in all of
• 37:26
  Speaker 23: this to have power when you need it and not
• 37:29
  Speaker 23: just when it's available. You know. The crazy thing is
• 37:34
  Speaker 23: that on a hot summer day or a frigid, cold
• 37:37
  Speaker 23: winter night, there is virtually no solar or wind out well,
• 37:44
  Speaker 23: plenty of solar, but very little wind output, right, and
• 37:48
  Speaker 23: certainly no solar at night. So if you don't have
• 37:52
  Speaker 23: these other resources nuclear power, hydro electric power, natural gas
• 37:58
  Speaker 23: powered power plants, and court.

  Speaker 8: I was asked what is the efficacy of organizations like
• 44:27
  Speaker 8: this and conventions like this?
• 44:29
  Speaker 23: Uh?
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: And and the reason I said.
• 44:31
  Speaker 8: You know, the left does it differently, but it's about
• 44:34
  Speaker 8: motivating the team. It's about bringing people together and say
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: you're not alone, your your voice matters.
• 44:41
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 44:41
  Speaker 8: The left does it in a very fragmented way. They
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: have these block parties. They do, you know, get together,
• 44:47
  Speaker 8: and they have coffee clatches and they do all this stuff.
• 44:49
  Speaker 8: They don't do like these massive, you know, giant five
• 44:53
  Speaker 8: day events. It's five hours at somebody's house, but it's happening.
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: And and I think.
• 44:58
  Speaker 8: Conservatives need to get better at that as well as well.
• 45:02
  Speaker 8: And you meet people and you hear stories. And the
• 45:04
  Speaker 8: next one joining us here on Radio Row at Seapack,
• 45:08
  Speaker 8: brought to you by the Heritage Foundation. Heritage dot org

  Speaker 8: as well. Here live at our Virginia Institute for Public
• 45:16

• 45:20
  Speaker 8: is Jason Redman, who's a best selling author Navy Seal.
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: The book I guess most people know is The Trident
• 45:29
  Speaker 8: From you, Jason, how are you doing this morning?
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: I'm good, blessed.
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well I like to hear that as well.
• 45:35
  Speaker 8: You tell us a little bit about your backstory and
• 45:37
  Speaker 8: what are you contributing here at Sea Pack this weekend.
• 45:42
  Speaker 26: Yeah, I mean, I'm super blessed. I come from a
• 45:45
  Speaker 26: family a military member, so as a young kid, it's
• 45:47
  Speaker 26: all I ever wanted to do. My dad was an
• 45:51
  Speaker 26: Army veteran and an airborne instructor and Navy seals up
• 45:56
  Speaker 26: till about two thousand and one. Went through Army Airborne school.
• 46:00
  Speaker 26: So my dad was familiar with these guys, and I
• 46:03
  Speaker 26: was a pretty good swimmer, and he said, hey, you should.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: Check this out.
• 46:06
  Speaker 26: I was about fourteen or fifteen then, and I just
• 46:09
  Speaker 26: locked onto that and that's what I wanted to do.
• 46:11
  Speaker 26: So I went to the military in nineteen ninety two.
• 46:15
  Speaker 26: I actually joined the day I signed up. I was
• 46:17
  Speaker 26: still in high school. With September eleventh, nineteen ninety two
• 46:20
  Speaker 26: is the day I actually joined the Navy. Yeah, no
• 46:23
  Speaker 26: idea obviously that date, but went on. I was an
• 46:27
  Speaker 26: enlisted seal operating in Central and South America, became a
• 46:31
  Speaker 26: seal instructor, my got selected for a commissioning program, got
• 46:36
  Speaker 26: my degree at Old Dominion University where we just had
• 46:38
  Speaker 26: this incident, and then and then came back and deployed
• 46:43
  Speaker 26: to Iraq and Afghanistan. My troop was part of the
• 46:50
  Speaker 26: Operation Red Wings mission, the Loan Survivor mission, so a
• 46:53
  Speaker 26: lot of those guys were my friends when the helicopter
• 46:56
  Speaker 26: was shot down, severely wounded in a big gun fight
• 46:59
  Speaker 26: in two thousand, but continued my career, and my story
• 47:04
  Speaker 26: is told in the book To Tried. It about growing
• 47:06
  Speaker 26: up and made some mistakes as a young leader, as
• 47:09
  Speaker 26: a young officer, and had to grow up, and it's
• 47:12
  Speaker 26: all part of that journey, and really it's all about
• 47:14
  Speaker 26: overcoming and resilience. And now a big veteran advocate out there.
• 47:18
  Speaker 8: Now we've here in the Conservative Political Action Conference. The
• 47:23
  Speaker 8: Conservative movement is being torn apart by what I view
• 47:27
  Speaker 8: as Donald Trump's attempt to end a forty seven year
• 47:30
  Speaker 8: war with Iran Iran's been you know, like you hire
• 47:34
  Speaker 8: an uber, Iran hires you know, Hesbalah and Hamas. They
• 47:38
  Speaker 8: don't want to get their hands dirty. But well, we'll
• 47:40
  Speaker 8: hire somebody out to do our dirty work for us.
• 47:44
  Speaker 8: But people like Nancy Mace, great conservative leader, said, I'm
• 47:48
  Speaker 8: not going to support boots on the ground. I don't
• 47:52
  Speaker 8: necessarily think we need boots on the ground. I think
• 47:54
  Speaker 8: we need support staff for the people who want to
• 47:57
  Speaker 8: rise up. But that doesn't necessarily have to be overt
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: if you.
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: Take my meaning.
• 48:02
  Speaker 8: But you know, especially when it comes to a place
• 48:05
  Speaker 8: like the Strait of Ormus, where we see what they're
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: doing there, does there need to be some sort of
• 48:11
  Speaker 8: force to make sure that that choke point of international
• 48:15
  Speaker 8: trade stays free and open.
• 48:18
  Speaker 26: Yeah, one hundred percent. And here's the thing I differ
• 48:20
  Speaker 26: from a lot of people. It may not be the
• 48:23
  Speaker 26: most popular opinion, but Iran has been a thorn on
• 48:26
  Speaker 26: our side for almost forty years now, the hardline regime
• 48:30
  Speaker 26: of Iran. You know, kudos to our air campaign and
• 48:33
  Speaker 26: kudos to the Israelis with their incredible app intelligence apparatus
• 48:37
  Speaker 26: for us to take out the leader and many of
• 48:41
  Speaker 26: the senior leadership but they have layers upon layers. It's
• 48:44
  Speaker 26: like a hydra. We cut off one head and the
• 48:46
  Speaker 26: next steps in. And this leadership, in my opinion, what
• 48:53
  Speaker 26: we've done must be finished, and if we don't, we're
• 48:56
  Speaker 26: going to be fighting. I guarantee we will be fighting
• 48:58
  Speaker 26: Iran years from now because they were regrouped, they will repopulating.
• 49:03
  Speaker 26: And we owe it to the people of Iran, you know, right,
• 49:06
  Speaker 26: wrong and different, whether you support it or not. Trump
• 49:09
  Speaker 26: sent a message and this regime killed what they estimated.
• 49:13
  Speaker 26: I've heard it's as high as you know, tens of
• 49:16
  Speaker 26: thousands of people in this last uprising. And what a
• 49:20
  Speaker 26: great example right now across our country with this attack
• 49:23
  Speaker 26: on the Second Amendment. I try to explain to them,
• 49:26
  Speaker 26: look at what's happening in Iran. The people there don't
• 49:28
  Speaker 26: have weapons to step up to fight against this that
• 49:33
  Speaker 26: they're trying to say, Oh, we need to let the
• 49:34
  Speaker 26: people do this with what.
• 49:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's the thing. And you look at and I've
• 49:40
  Speaker 8: laughed when the European leaders said, well, it's not our war,
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: but they want us to jump in with Ukraine and Russia,
• 49:47
  Speaker 8: you know, a whole hog. But in Ukraine they had
• 49:51
  Speaker 8: guns and the Russians found out it wasn't so easy
• 49:54
  Speaker 8: sledding when you get in there and every farmer's got
• 49:57
  Speaker 8: a shotgun pointed at you.
• 49:59
  Speaker 26: I in Afghanistan were the same both countries.
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: Uh. It was azing.
• 50:04
  Speaker 26: We were the strongest military power in the world, and
• 50:07
  Speaker 26: those guys did a pretty good job of fighting against us,
• 50:10
  Speaker 26: because a driven, motivated, passionate people with a weapon can
• 50:17
  Speaker 26: do a lot well.
• 50:18
  Speaker 8: And that's something It goes back to the founding of
• 50:20
  Speaker 8: this country, George Washington and Baron von Steuben when he
• 50:24
  Speaker 8: came in and said, listen, this is your country. The
• 50:26
  Speaker 8: British are the occupying force. Just don't lose to them,
• 50:31
  Speaker 8: and they'll they'll get out eventually and you'll win the day.
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: And that's what I think you're talking about.
• 50:38
  Speaker 26: And our founding fathers understood. I always can't stand this
• 50:41
  Speaker 26: distortion of the Second Amendment, like, oh, that's not what
• 50:43
  Speaker 26: our founding fathers intended. They wanted the people to have
• 50:47
  Speaker 26: guns to hunt and all this insanity. I'm like, it
• 50:49
  Speaker 26: is the last great check and balance against a tyrannical government.
• 50:54
  Speaker 8: You know, when you said that about you know what
• 50:55
  Speaker 8: happened in Afghanistan, in Iraq, you know. I brought this
• 50:58
  Speaker 8: up when Joe Biden made that infamous statement, Oh, if
• 51:01
  Speaker 8: you're going to stand up to the US government, you
• 51:03
  Speaker 8: better have some F sixteens.
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: I said.
• 51:04
  Speaker 8: It didn't seem to be a big you know, not
• 51:06
  Speaker 8: a lot of F sixteens flying out of the caves
• 51:09
  Speaker 8: of Afghanistan, like you said, they marshaled a pretty good opposition.
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: Or the jungles of Vietnam.
• 51:15
  Speaker 26: Airpower can only do so much. That is the reality.
• 51:18
  Speaker 26: We can do a ton with airpower, case in point
• 51:22
  Speaker 26: where what we've accomplished in Iran, but there is a
• 51:25
  Speaker 26: limitation to it. Right now. The streets of horror moves
• 51:28
  Speaker 26: are compromised because individuals on the ground they have truck
• 51:32
  Speaker 26: mounted rockets and missiles, so they literally can hide and
• 51:36
  Speaker 26: suddenly pop out, and they can attack our ships. They
• 51:39
  Speaker 26: can control carg Island and some of these key strategic locations.
• 51:43
  Speaker 26: I believe the only way that this will be finished
• 51:46
  Speaker 26: is we're going to have to put some guys on
• 51:49
  Speaker 26: the ground to finish it. We're going to need to
• 51:50
  Speaker 26: secure these nuclear sites.
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, oh and their weapon you know.
• 51:55
  Speaker 8: And then see I always say this, and a friend
• 51:58
  Speaker 8: of mine served in the greens own he helped secure
• 52:01
  Speaker 8: the Green Zone in Baghdad. You know, our best emissaries
• 52:06
