Charlie, listen to me. You're keeping us alive now.
0:22
You forget about that one and you keep them coming in.
0:24
You're doing well, son. Find us on the web at MB.

Radio dot US want to make it clear that the views expressed
0:28
by our hosts are not considered the official stance of MBR
0:31

0:33
having fun and enjoying the ride.
0:37
Welcome to Gunslingers Tavern. I'm Audrey McHugh.
0:41
I'm a bisexual open woman that served in the military brown
0:46
water Navy. Shout out to my Airedales One
0:49
and three. Veterans experience military
0:52
sexual trauma. Here we use whiskey.
0:54
For good and talk about all different events that affect
0:57
veterans and how we can do better to make sure that no one
1:01
has to release their burden of rape at these gates anymore and
1:05
ensure that veterans lives are advocated and lived for.
1:13
Hey guys, Audrey McHugh. Odd here at Gunsingers Tavern
1:19
slinging some drinks, sling in some conversations.
1:22
So I just got back from the March on Washington, the March
1:28
for Israel, the March against anti-Semitism, and it was a very
1:34
moving moment. I am Jewish and a lot of what
1:39
has happened. Here is just the fact is that
1:43
Israel has the right to defend itself against terrorists.
1:46
And when 911 happened, nobody said don't go hurt the
1:52
perpetrators or annihilate the perpetrators that brought down
1:56
these towers and tried to take out Washington, that damaged our
2:01
Pentagon and that brave souls on flight 93 gave and crashed
2:06
themselves into Pennsylvania to ensure that the White House
2:09
didn't get destroyed. Right.
2:11
Nobody said don't go after bin Laden like not a single person.
2:17
And So what Israel's been asked to do is to not go after people
2:22
that hurt us, that killed 1200 Israelis, Arabs, people from
2:29
different countries, and then brutally cut off, arms beheaded,
2:33
children captured and took people hostage, not just from
2:38
Israel but 33 other countries have been affected as well.
2:43
And what is really disturbing is a lot of money comes in from the
2:47
Geneva Convention and yet the, you know, the Red Cross really
2:53
hasn't stepped in and negotiated the release of these hostages.
2:58
These were people taken by terrorists, out of their homes,
3:03
out of a concert, just doing everyday things like you and me
3:08
do and need help, need assistance.
3:12
I mean, some of these people were injured.
3:14
There's this one report. His name is height, and he
3:18
actually took grenades and they were being thrown into a bunker
3:22
that they were able to find for a little bit of a shelter.
3:26
And people piled into this and he was throwing them back and
3:30
forth, right? And then eventually he took on
3:33
some damage and he put a tourniquet right on his arm and
3:37
continued to fight. This guy's a hero and he was
3:41
captured by Hamas and obviously would have needed immediate
3:45
medical attention for an injury like that.
3:49
But yet the Red Cross is saying that they can't get in and do
3:52
their job. This is literally the mission
3:55
that they have is to be able to respond and negotiate for the
4:01
safe return of the hostages that were wrongfully taken over a
4:07
month ago. October 7th IS, you know, should
4:10
be present in everybody's mind because Hamas is ISIS and if
4:15
they can do it there, they can do it anywhere.
4:18
And so as a Jew, it's very important for me to see my
4:23
people and other people who are not Jewish show up at this rally
4:28
and say never again means never again, that we're not going to
4:33
allow anti-Semitism to continue to happen in this country and we
4:39
are not giving in or negotiating terrorists at all.
4:43
No country should be asked to give in to terrorists.
4:47
That is a direct violation of our sovereignty as a nation.
4:52
So I kind of just wanted to maybe show you guys because
4:56
there was literally, it turns out 300,300 thousand of us that
5:04
marched in solidarity. We did not spray paint areas
5:08
like the previous people who support terrorists who marched
5:13
here and actually defaced and broke things and vandalized, you
5:19
know, GW and threatened and harmed and you know, actually
5:24
California killed a Jew who's just walking by with a brick.
5:31
That is a hate crime. So when people say, oh, it's,
5:34
it's not that big of a deal. No, like, literally because of
5:39
what Hamas did, somebody here got radicalized and murdered an
5:45
American who happens to be Jewish right on the street while
5:51
others looked by. And I want to remind you that
5:54
this is not Nazi Germany, as many of MAGA Republicans would
6:00
love for it to be. This is not Nazi Germany.
6:04
That this veteran who drove boats that are connected with
6:09
World War 2. Literally.
6:12
This is not Nazi Germany. We have already defeated fascism
6:16
in this country. And that's why it's so important
6:20
that we protect the rights of trans right.
6:24
We protect our our gay communities.
6:27
We protect the rights of African Americans, of Hispanics, of
6:31
Puerto Ricans, of First Nations, of Asians, of other minorities.
6:36
And we protect the rights of Jews.
6:38
Because history has shown us that these are the first people
6:42
that they target and then it perpetrates this way and then
6:46
they start murdering us. And so we now have a dead
6:50
American in this country, or just simply being Jewish and
6:55
walking by at the direct radicalization of Hamas
7:00
terrorists. So please tell me that I don't
7:04
have the right to defend myself, because I know I do.
7:07
So here's some videos. Here is a beautiful child
7:18
putting the flag up for Israel. Just to let you know this is
7:25
kind of like what the view was. This is over 300,000 people
7:33
saying that we are not going to allow fascism in our country.
7:39
We're going to stand with Israel.
7:41
We are going to protest. It was such a powerful, moving
7:47
moment. To see people who were Holocaust
7:50
survivors, people who walked in the civil rights movement,
7:55
people who were not Jewish, that were of different faiths, that
7:59
wanted to come support and say we see what Hamas has done is
8:05
atrocious and we will stand with you shoulder to shoulder was
8:10
very inspiring. There's a lot of music, a lot of
8:14
prayer. We had different speakers.
8:18
So it's just it was kind of wonderful.
8:19
So here's one of the protesters, as you know of the horrendous
8:25
slogan that Hamas tries to use. What a lot of people don't
8:29
understand is that in their doctrine, it actually means
8:33
under Sharia law, that every single person that is not of
8:38
them. So if you're gay, they want you
8:41
to die. If you are not in their faith
8:44
and you're a Christian, they demand in their text that you
8:48
die. They also found that the version
8:53
of My Kumpf, which was written by a disgusting lowlife, lowlife
8:59
scum of the Earth, Hitler, was actually translated and found in
9:07
Hamas leadership and in in terrorist bunker cells.
9:12
So this is the propaganda that they are using to murder and
9:15
annihilate Jews. They do not want us to exist at
9:19
all whatsoever. So this says from the river to
9:24
the sea, Hamas will cease to be. And you also see that he has a
9:31
family member fighting in the IDF, combating Hamas right now.
9:36
So it was very amazing to speak with him and you know, to to to
9:45
share that experience. So I'm going to play a song that
9:51
was played from the March and this, this song is a prayer for
9:55
the IDF to wish them well in their continued journey as we
10:01
battle against the enemy. Because we will not, we will not
10:05
bow. There will not be a ceasefire.
10:08
Our people must be let go, must be let go.
10:12
We demand the release of our people, let our people go, bring
10:17
them home. So that was a common theme as
10:21
people chanted in the streets. And here is just one of the
10:25
videos. So that's a lot to process,
10:53
right? But it was beautiful.
10:55
It was moving. There were so many of us united
11:00
to say Israel has the right to exist, Jews have the right to
11:04
exist all over the world. And that we have no, we have no
11:09
race, we are many colors and that we will stand united
11:14
together. So it was, it was very, very
11:17
much an honor. I'm very glad I was there.
11:21
I got there early and passed out posters and I just want to say
11:28
this to to my fellow Jews because some didn't want to take
11:32
a poster that happened to represent.
11:35
It was a little heart and it had every different color for LGBTQ
11:41
plus, right. And so when Hamas attacked Jews
11:48
on the 7th, they didn't ask whether you like Shabbat candles
11:52
every night. They didn't ask if you had a
11:57
brisk when you were born. They didn't ask what shul you go
12:02
to, or how many times you go to shul, or whether you go to shul.
12:06
Just on High Holidays, didn't ask any of these questions.
12:09
They just killed anyone that was Jewish and they also killed
12:13
Arabs as well, right? Because one couldn't say a
12:17
prayer when he is of a different sect than what Hamas propagates
12:23
and they murdered him. So also in Nazi Germany when
12:28
they went through genealogy and wanted to exterminate us as a
12:32
people, they killed Jews that were 0.1% Jewish.
12:38
They didn't care, right. And So what I find very
12:41
disturbing now is that you hear a man that has been convicted of
12:46
fraud, who has been found guilty in the state of New York, who
12:51
continues to run himself on propaganda and hate for the
12:56
presidency of the United States, that literally gave tactical
13:02
information for intelligence that helped lead to this attack
13:08
on Israel. And he continues to say the
13:11
words like exterminate that he will exterminate people.
13:18
We use those words in Nazi Germany, under fascism and under
13:23
Nazi times when Hitler was in power.
13:27
You heard those words. Yet we have a man who wants to
13:30
have the highest office in the United States, President of the
13:35
United States, using words that he will exterminate, annihilate,
13:40
and kill. That's what exterminate means.
13:45
Kill people who have different beliefs than him.
13:51
Like we are in a time where fascism is trying to destroy our
13:58
democracy. And we know the people that are
14:01
leading it have committed numerous crimes and have been
14:05
found guilty of rape, have been found guilty of fraud.
14:10
And we know of these other things of the insurrection.
14:14
They will be found guilty and they are ricoed and part of a
14:17
criminal organization. So I urge you when you hear
14:21
somebody saying words like Exterminate to understand that
14:27
they are trying to model the behavior of an enemy that we
14:32
destroyed in World War 2. And we've had millions die of
14:39
the Holocaust. We had service members die.
14:42
There's a beautiful memorial down here for the World War 2
14:46
veterans, right? But this is a battle we already
14:49
fought. So instead of spending the time
14:52
on going backwards and fighting these people, we need to move
14:57
forward and be the actual country that is true and
15:02
distinguishing of a democracy that lives and dies by the
15:08
constitution. So that's all I'm going to talk
15:12
about here for for our right to exist in Israel, but we're going
15:16
to move on. So some of you guys might know
15:21
that the PACT act right. This was an act for burn pits
15:25
and other toxins that were created by the mismanagement of
15:30
a war and LED to numerous service members dying from
15:36
things that they should have never encountered because they
15:39
had burn pits there. So the PACT Act was something
15:44
that literally that administration under the Bush
15:47
administration knew, they knew about and they should have said
15:52
hey, we messed up. We know this is going to come
15:56
out, we know people are going to be affected and we need to get
16:00
ahead of it, right. We need to make sure that these
16:03
toxins are listed and we get people which happen to be
16:09
service members the best healthcare that we can and them
16:13
quickly compensated. That's not what happened.
16:17
Instead, it was attempted to be covered up and people had to
16:21
come and beg on Capitol Hill for senators and representatives to
16:28
do the right thing by veterans who went to war.
16:32
And then because of a mismanagement by of
16:34
administration, allowed for veterans to die unnecessarily in
16:40
a combat zone and that they come back with cancers that eat away
16:45
at them, eat away out of them. They made it back from war, and
16:49
then they are suffering the sentence of death because of
16:54
their mistakes and mismanagement of a war.
16:56
It is a it's an outrage, an utter outrage, because war is
17:05
disgusting, necessary, but disgusting.
17:09
And they made their profits off of the war.
17:12
And instead of actually taking care of veterans like they
17:16
promised to, they tried to cover it up and then made us beg to be
17:22
taken care of. It's just disgusting.
17:27
It's despicable. And you start to wonder, well,
17:32
what kind of people would vote against something like that?
17:37
Who? Who would do that?
17:40
There you go. So I just want to show you,
17:45
because this has been ongoing, right?
17:47
The PACT Act has been passed. People had a certain amount to
17:51
sign up to amount of time to register for, which again,
17:56
utterly disgusting. But I want you guys to see that
18:02
40 Republicans voted against expanding access to health care
18:08
to toxins exposed veterans, right?
18:11
They voted against this. So who voted against them?
18:16
Well, here's your names. John Brasco.
18:20
Marsha Blackburn. Roy Blunt.
18:23
So some of these John, like these people have said publicly
18:28
that they support veterans. They don't.
18:32
There's Ted Cruz. This is disgusting.
18:35
Josh Hawley #16 right here, guys.
18:39
See him. I just want to make sure you
18:41
guys know that who he is, because a lot of these people on
18:45
this list actually knew about plans for the Insurrection, the
18:51
capital attack for January 6th and did nothing about it.
18:55
But Josh Hawley is a disgusting individual.
18:58
How so? He ran away from the fight.
19:02
He ran away from the fight. He's done nothing good or
19:06
beneficial for veterans. And I want you guys to know that
19:10
there is a Marine that is running against him that will do
19:15
an excellent job, an excellent job.
19:18
His name is Lucas Quincy. I want you to look him up.
19:22
And, you know, so there are definitely ways for us to go
19:26
forward. But that man is just, he has no
19:29
honor. Not whatsoever.
19:31
So let's keep looking on here, right, 'cause you, you look at
19:35
it and you're like, oh, getting Rand Paul say that he loves
19:38
veterans. Mitch McConnell, Right.
19:40
Kentucky, every time you see him, he's like, thank you for
19:46
your service, right? I support veterans.
19:49
I surely do. Right?
19:51
But he voted against veterans. These people, some of them are
19:58
responsible for us going to war, and they made profits off of the
20:03
Iraq and Afghanistan war and then made us beg for benefits.
20:07
And they do nothing, Mitt Romney.
20:10
Hey, Tim, Scott just dropped out of the presidential race.
20:14
He's on there. Tommy Tuberville, the piece of
20:18
shit that allows veterans and service members to keep getting
20:23
fucked over. You know, like they literally
20:28
just had to vote in the Senate to be able to pass nominations
20:34
for military service members to be promoted where we've had over
20:39
500 military personnel waiting to be promoted and some of them
20:45
are like it's nine months now I'm getting out and we're
20:47
talking about this as becoming a national security issue because
20:50
these officers are saying there's no stability here in the
20:54
military because of Tommy Tomerville.
20:57
I I got to get out. And when you lose that kind of
21:00
high level leadership, the military and country suffers.
21:04
And so for the first time ever, right, the first time ever along
21:09
party lines, the Senate now has to change rules because of an
21:15
individual like that who thinks that it's OK to let a Marine
21:21
that is the calm down of the Marine Corps, running, running
21:26
and taking care of two jobs, having 18 hour days because the
21:30
military is dedicated to the Constitution, to security of the
21:34
United States. We do whatever it takes, no
21:37
matter what, how long, how many hours we have to work, it does
21:41
not matter. We are the defenders of the
21:44
Constitution. This man is working so hard, he
21:48
suffers a heart attack. Then all of a sudden,
21:53
Republicans want to come out and sit here and say after this has
21:57
been ongoing for months and months and months and say this
22:01
is raw, he almost killed our Commandant.
22:06
It was kind of, it is totally unacceptable.
22:12
People like Tommy Tumberville, who literally did nothing but
22:17
coach football and then actually pay off, you know, lawsuits for
22:24
committing fraud. So he's not a successful
22:27
businessman. Sound familiar, right?
22:29
Sounds kind of like Donald Trump Ish.
22:32
You know, like that these guys are just frauds and lets you
22:36
pretend like I'm great at business, but no, I'm actually
22:41
selling lawsuits because I actually don't have a fucking
22:45
clue how to run a business. But I do know how to be a
22:48
criminal and a cheat. They definitely know how to do
22:51
that, right? Compares him coaching football,
22:56
which I love. Football.
22:57
Go Eagles to running an operation of the whole United
23:05
States Marine Corps. I mean, it's just it's lunacy at
23:12
this point, right? The the fact that he would even
23:15
compare himself the Smith's level of caliber and honor and
23:21
dedication to service and work when that man at barely ever
23:24
comes to work like treats his staffers like well, anyway, so
23:33
it's just pathetic like these are the people that are elected
23:38
officials that are not doing their jobs that when veterans
23:43
have to come out here. And by the way guys, if you're
23:46
100% service connected, congratulations, it was a battle
23:50
for you to get there, right. They made it so hard.
23:53
Why do you think that is? And it's in a poverty rate,
23:59
right? Again, congressionally set.
24:02
Keep going, right. Keep going with it.
24:05
And not every veteran gets healthcare for dental.
24:10
And they deserve it. Every single person deserves
24:14
dental healthcare that was served in the military.
24:17
Plain and simple. Hire more dentists, put the
24:20
money there. Get it done.
24:23
Right. Just get it done.
24:25
But if you work for two years, which these guys barely work,
24:32
imagine having a job and not showing up till like ten, 11:00
24:38
at you know, or or whatever the fuck you feel like it.
24:41
You come in the morning, stay here for a few hours, maybe
24:45
answer some phone calls, maybe answer some emails, you know, BS
24:49
with your friends, and then be like, you know, I'm kind of done
24:52
with the day. I don't have to legislate.
24:54
I don't actually have to introduce any bills.
24:57
I don't have to Co sponsor a bill.
24:59
I'm just gonna roll out. Then you draw that out and say
25:03
you know what, this isn't really for me, these special interest
25:06
guys that keep giving me money. I'm go leave, leave there and
25:10
kind of go work with them, right?
25:12
A lot of them do. They now have healthcare for the
25:15
rest of their lives, for the rest of their lives, and they
25:20
really didn't have to work. But yet, military service
25:24
members, we can work 72 hours straight with no break, right?
25:29
None whatsoever. If we need to.
25:31
In a combat zone, it's completely different.
25:34
They have to operate even harder, right, with hardly any
25:37
breaks or sleep. And these people don't get
25:43
dental care. And then, like me, I'm 100%
25:48
total and perm. I've been waiting over six
25:50
months for dental care. Six months.
25:54
It's kind of crazy. It's kind of crazy to know that
25:58
I showed up. I got raped for my country
26:02
multiple times. I have a nerve disorder where
26:05
there's no cure. But I did everything for my
26:09
Navy, absolutely sacrificed for my country, and I have to battle
26:16
to get good dental care. And there are people who are at
26:22
90% who desperately need dental care and they have no access to
26:27
it because these politicians decided that veterans were
26:35
undeserving of dental care, but at the same time, they get to
26:40
have the best level of health insurance for themselves and
26:45
they don't even have to work. How does that make you feel?
26:52
And then these are the people that are voting against us.
26:57
They're voting against us. And yeah, Chuck Schumer, he
27:02
voted against it in that bill. Do you know why?
27:05
So that he could reintroduce it so that he can reintroduce it
27:11
and the PACT Act is eventually passed, Right.
27:15
But where is it that we hold them accountable?
27:18
Or is it that we demand that our Healthcare is just as good as
27:23
theirs because they have infiltrated into the VA?
27:29
You know, they literally will reprimand the VA for doing
27:34
something, bring them publicly to yell at them, but behind
27:39
closed doors will tell veterans and people at the VA like you're
27:44
not allowed to have this many Bash vouchers.
27:47
You're not allowed to do that even though there's $100 million
27:50
discretionary fund. So they're OK with killing
27:56
veterans, They're OK with not giving us the best, the best
27:59
healthcare. Do you know why?
28:01
Because they have the pockets filled by special interest
28:05
groups and they do not care about you.
28:09
And there's got to be a point where we start demanding better
28:12
of them. And if they cannot be better,
28:16
they have to be removed. So again, if you're a veteran
28:22
and you think that you could do a better job, and I bet you you
28:27
showed up to PT, you know, maybe 0500, maybe 0600, took a shower,
28:34
got in your uniform. Hey, depending on the working
28:38
day, maybe, maybe you went home that night.
28:44
Maybe you went home the next maybe been out to sea for for
28:47
months. If you feel like you could do a
28:49
better job and actually show up to work and get stuff done,
28:54
think about running. Think about running for
28:56
political office. And it doesn't have to be at
28:59
federal level. It could be at your state level.
29:02
You could be a legislator in in your State House.
29:05
You could be a state senator. You could say, hey, that's a
29:08
little too much for me, but the school board, right?
29:13
That might be a great place for you to start.
29:16
Think about local government, start getting involved.
29:19
Because the more of us that evolve and heal and get involved
29:25
in this will be better, truly better, because we have to start
29:30
fighting for things that were already promised to us.
29:33
This country made a solemn vow to us that they would actually
29:37
provide and take care of for us, and they haven't.
29:41
And the politicians here are making sure that they don't.
29:46
And half the American public are completely misinformed.
29:50
Or they have made sure that we are disenchanterized and made
29:56
sure that we're against each other because then they get to
30:00
keep doing this to us. So if this is how they're
30:03
treating us, imagine how they are treating we the people,
30:09
imagine how they are treating your fellow Americans.
30:13
And that's why I urge you to start running for office,
30:16
whether it's small, whether it's large.
30:19
Because we together as veterans, we will make the difference.
30:25
We truly will. So that's kind of all I have
30:28
today. I just wanted to kind of give
30:31
you a synopsis of of how wonderful, you know it was to
30:37
see over 300,000 people protest in a peaceful manner, a peaceful
30:43
manner. And so thanks for listening and
30:49
I got one more for y'all. So here you go.
30:53
And then we're going to play the closer.
30:55
If y'all have any questions, if you need any help.
30:58
Once again, just letting you know, Reach out to Amazonian
31:01
Warrior Foundation. You are not alone.
31:03
You will never be alone. And let's go kick ass together.
31:12
We're standing against Hamas and anti-Semitism.
31:15
Stand with Israel, stand with Americans, this veteran says.
31:19
You need to love you guys. Hit me up if you need me.
31:25
That's the show for today everyone.
31:27

31:30
