By Mike Dean, October 15, 2026

A former U.S. Army Green Beret with over 20 years of military service is sounding the alarm about America's future — and his warning is simple: prepare before it's too late.

In this episode of Daily Rumble Network, Mike Dean sits down with Kawa Malawayee, an Afghanistan-born American military veteran who grew up in the United States, joined the U.S. Marine Corps, and later served in the Army Green Berets.

With more than two decades of military experience, including service in Special Forces, Kawa brings a unique perspective to America's involvement in foreign conflicts, the escalating confrontation with Iran, and the influence of Israel on American foreign policy.

But this conversation goes far beyond the Middle East.

Kawa shares his assessment of where the United States is heading, why he believes the country is entering a dangerous period, and why ordinary Americans should begin preparing for the possibility of difficult times ahead.

In this explosive conversation, we discuss:

🇺🇸 America's future: Why Kawa is deeply concerned about the direction of the country.

Transcript

By the way, brother, tell me how to exactly pronounce your name because Kawa in Arabic is "coffee", yes, but I know you're Japanese, it means "river". In Afghan, it means trustworthy and honest. My last name is Malayee. If you take the ease out, pretend the ease are silent, then it's Malayee, so Kawa Malayee. Awesome, awesome. So, former Green Berets, how long did you serve? I have 23 years ongoing because I am in the National Guard. I'm on the SF side of the National Guard. I've been there for, I wouldn't say five, six years now. So you, I mean, you were in the whole GWOT thing. Like, did you go to Afghanistan or were you in Iraq? I did. I went to Afghanistan three times. I went to Iraq three times. Wow. Then I have, I think, five or six non-combat deployments, but still in the Middle East area of responsibility. When I was in the Special Forces group, the Middle East was our AO. For those that don't know, you know, you got different active SF groups around the country. Like, North Carolina is third group. Washington State and Okinawa is first group. And you got a 10th group that's in Carson or Colorado. You got a 7th group that used to be at Fort Bragg, but is now in Destin, Florida. Each one of those groups have a part of the world that they're responsible for. I, because of my background being Afghan, being Muslim, and just my own preference, I chose fifth group. I even chose Arabic for my foreign language, but then they said, you know, you know, Afghan, Dari already. So we're going to skip you through the language phase. But that's what I, I spent 18 years in Special Forces. 13 of those were active and then five years in the Marine Corps about before that. So that's, that's what I was going to get to. So I know like the Green Berets, if I understand correctly, um, they pull from all the different branches. Is that correct? They, they don't necessarily pull from different branches, but there's a lot of like Marine, ex Marine or prior Marine, um, presence in the Special Forces worlds, because a lot of Marines, you know, they either, like when I left the Marine Corps, Marsauk was just a rumor and I wasn't going to stick around to wait for that. Uh, and I know that I could have easily went to the Navy seals and try it out with the buds, try it out. And that's kind of the main beaten path for Marines that want to move up. But for me, when I did my research, I, I realized that I want to be a Green Beret and I just liked their scope of work and their history. Um, so I actually honorably got out of or discharged from the Marine Corps. Um, and then I re-enlisted into the army and that's how I got to selection and all that. But as far as, uh, polling from a, like a, like if he was like a Navy Corpsman or an Air Force Airmen, I don't think they have a way to like pull you out of that branch. I think you have to do your time and just honorably get out. And then transfer over after. Exactly. So what, what's the Delta Force? Is that Green Berets? Cause there's a lot of confusion. A lot of people don't understand what's the difference. Are they the same branch or? The Delta Force is a Special Operations unit that falls within the Special Operations, uh, umbrella. Uh, however, Delta Force is their own unit. They're a tier, considered a tier one unit. Um, they're referred to as Delta or JSOC. Um, and these guys are, you know, they're, they're not Green Berets. However, I would say that the majority of them and, and maybe a minor part of them comes from Green Berets, prior Green Berets and Rangers, Army Rangers. So they kind of pull from within the army. But again, you don't have to be you know, in, you don't have to be, um, you can, like I said, you can be a Marine that comes in, you can be a Navy guy that comes in and you just go try out. But these are, these are the elites. When we say like the top 1% of the 1%, these, these guys are it, you know? So it's like two, SEAL team six would be the equivalent to Delta for the Navy. You know, you get all the regular SEAL teams and then you got SEAL team six. So definitely a step above everybody else and capability wise, mission criteria wise, um, and just, you know, operational wise, for sure. And that's, that's who Trump just sent in to kidnap Maduro was Delta force, right? So that's, that's what they're saying. And usually when we hear about things like this, it's probably more of a hodgepodge or a task force. So it's like Delta force led, but then I wouldn't be surprised if there are some Navy SEALs in there, maybe SEAL team six guys, maybe some, some Intel guys, agency guys. So, you know, they don't, I think we're kind of past the days where we just say, Hey, Delta, this is all on you and you go and do this. I think it's like, well, we give it to the lead element who's either Delta or SEAL team six, but then we also give them the support assets that may also come from special operations, but different branches. That's what a lot of people don't understand. Like when you watch movies about special operations and stuff, they think, Oh, it's like four or five guys. And they're all by themselves. But even on this operation, like they came out and said it involved 200 boots on the ground. So it wasn't just four or five guys that went into Maduro's bedroom. Like there's a whole support staff behind the entire mission set, right? Yeah. And I think, I think Hollywood kind of does a good job sensationalizing, you know, special operations are like, Oh, it's just four guys. And they're going to go in into enemy lines and, you know, take out a nuke facility or something. And that's, but in reality, man, I mean, Green Berets, we are, we are capable of dropping 12 guys into a foreign country. And they're able to self sustain basically off of their partner forces or the natural resources of the land. But even those guys are being supervised and being supported on the backside by somebody, if it's not the army, it may be agency, you know, maybe somebody that has the placement and access in that country to support these guys. So I think, you know, when we talk about four or five guys, we're really talking about like a small footprint of guys that are doing some kind of reconnaissance mission that nobody knows about, will never hear about. And those definitely take place. But yeah, I think thanks to Hollywood, it seems like it's always just four or five kids doing this, doing everything and it's not. So talking about sensational, I want to I want to share a video of you shooting a bullet with a bullet. Okay, because this is this is pretty sensational. So we're going to go over this. So there's the bullets on top of the target. And you shoot it off of the target. That's what like 2025 meters or so. I think that was 20 meters right there. That's pretty crazy. And I mean, the target is literally moving back and forth. It was pretty windy that day. And 1.32 is that fast? Is that pretty fast? That's, I'd say that's pretty fast. And I think a lot of professional shooters would say that that's pretty fast. For this particular drill, I'd say that's pretty fast. I mean, this is not a practical drill. I don't teach this. I don't tell. That's what I'm going to ask. Is this like a green beret, like flex move? Like, hey, I can shoot a bullet with a bullet. Well, I would say it's more of a kind of a flex, you know, it's me demonstrating the skills that I've worked so hard over the last so many, I don't know, two decades to build. But this is not something practical. I do it because it's entertainment, you know, it's it's there is there is things to be learned from this drill as in, you know, trigger prep site picture, you know, and all that. But to do it under speed is just me flexing a little bit, saying that I don't have to take all day, you know, to aim in on this thing. But can I repeat this at 1.32? I doubt it. I doubt it. I could maybe repeat it at like just under two seconds if I give myself extra half second to really pick up that bullet. It's I mean, it's just a trick shot, really. But yeah, it does require a little bit of skill. So for everybody that's going to hit the comments and be like, Oh, man, this is fake. Hold on. Watch. He's going to he's going to show the bullet here. You got to find the bullet because that's the only way people I see only way people are like, OK, you actually hit it to 132. Yeah, I find it here in a second. Hey, you got to love this Miley shirt you're wearing while you trick out. There it is. There it is. That's crazy, man. I almost got my best on the projectile there. Yeah. That was cool that I caught that projectile on one of those video frames. So yeah. So how like you're I mean, you're in the Green Beret, your military, you're obviously pro Second Amendment. It's a part of the Constitution. It's constitutional right. I know you have a school. You train people. I believe you even are training like actors and stuff as well. Is that right? Our training is pretty pretty wide. We train we have open enrollment classes where we teach civilians. You know, it could be in L.A. It could be somewhere. We have a good footprint and we just you know, it could be a pistol one pistol two side class. But we also do we also have L.E. contracts where we teach police officers and we teach certain agencies. I mean, I've worked with a bunch of people at this point. But then as far as the actors go, that's more on the consulting side of things. I've I've done military consulting on TV shows, video games, big movies and stuff. And some of those definitely require the actors to go through some training, not always life fire stuff, but even just kind of kind of how to move with the gun, you know, the getting the posture, the look right and all that. So we train just about everybody except for except for the ATF. I'll never train those guys. And except for ice. Those are two agencies that I will never train. Yeah, we're going to get into ice because, you know, we just seen Renee Goode get shot in the face three times by an ice officer. Yesterday, I've made several videos on it. And the comment section is wild how, you know, people could defend that like, you know, like we were talking about, you know, one of my daughters was a cop. And I have a really good friend in LA or in Las Vegas, who is in law enforcement and stuff, or he's going into law enforcement right now. And, you know, talking like, you know, was this a justified shooting? I mean, the ice officer, he steps in front of a vehicle that's trying to leave. So my understanding is police training, actual police training is that they train them to never step in front of a moving vehicle, you always move off to one side or the other either you're trying to secure the driver's side door, and a partner draw tries to secure the passenger door. And that way you have two points of control over the vehicle, you can't control the front of a vehicle because it, you know, weighs several thousand pounds and you're a human being best 200 pounds, maybe 250, you're not going to stop that vehicle. So it's reckless to even get in front of a moving vehicle. I've watched every single angle. I know there's a bullet hole through the windshield, but it seems to be at an off angle. And if you're standing off to the side, you can still shoot through the windshield anyway. What are your opinions on this being that you've trained law enforcement officers and then just special forces background? Do you think that this is a justified shooting? Or is this guy just completely in the wrong? I mean, I, in my opinion, I think at the very least he should be charged with reckless homicide, if not full on murder, because I just don't see a justification for this. It's a moving infraction that an ICE officer doesn't even have the ability to give her a ticket for because he's immigration, right? He has nothing to do with traffic enforcement. What, in my opinion, what they should have did is called Minneapolis PD and say, Hey, there's somebody impeding traffic here. You need to come take care of this, right? Am I, am I way off base with that? Or no, not at all. I think you're, I think you're correct. Um, I think that this could have been obviously handled better. They had the numbers and the personnel there, so they could have just been, they could have maybe did some traffic control, you know, to, you know, free up that, that, that jam, I guess, is what it looked like to me. Um, as far as the police officer putting him in front of the vehicle, yes, that's an absolute like hard no, you don't do that. But at the same time, I understand why he kind of found himself in that position because if they're applying the 90 rule, which is, you know, you got one guy that's like facing the window, the driver's side window. And so, you know, you can't have a cop on the other side in case they got a shoot and they're going to converge on each other. So he probably naturally kind of found him in that position to go one, to go 90 off of the guy that was looking in the window or was actually engaging the, the lady verbally engaging. But I think that when I watched this video over and over and over again, and I see her, I can tell that, you know, we don't have to see her. We can just tell that she spooked. She's scared. She probably doesn't know what to do. She's not listening very well either. And so she naturally puts the car in drive and she starts to accelerate at a slow pace. I mean, we're talking about like gas station, you know, maybe two miles an hour. And when you notice, when you watch it in slow motion, you see that the police officer draws his gun at the same time that she's turning her wheel. And so she's turning her wheel because she obviously doesn't want to hit the guy. If she did, her wheels would have never turned. So she's obviously trying to get out of there. The police officer, instead of just simply sidestepping the vehicle and getting out of the way, he starts to backpedal. But even before he starts to move, he draws his gun. So he draws his gun and moves at the same time and then shoots her three times. And to me, that is completely unjustified. Not only is it not professional, but that is completely against everything that they are trained as far as firearms go. Your firearm should be the last, you know, maybe 5% in the profession for civilians. It's probably like our last 1% that we go to for police officers. Maybe it's that last 5% and we give him a little bit more grace. But man, to pull your gun out when she's only doing about two, three miles an hour and turning her wheels to obviously avoid you and then you still shoot her three times to me is very reckless. I think this guy needs to get the book thrown at him. I think he needs to get charged with homicide and go to jail for a long time. And I would tell people that are listening to this that that could have been anybody's wife. You know, that could have been one of their wives. Right. And I know we haven't got to do the after action on this just yet. But it's hard for me to to be OK with this, not just as a firearms trainer and tactics instructor. But when I just see it play out logically, it absolutely just looks completely unjustified, Mike. So sorry for the long winded answer. No, I think that's that's perfect. I mean, there's there's there's so many issues with this incident, everything from the fact that he shot her when she's driving a couple miles an hour, then instead of rendering aid to a gunshot victim, which is his responsibility, he gets in his SUV and he drives away. So he flees the scene immediately after shooting a civilian. So I mean, if you do that as a civilian, that's another felony added on top. Like you already got the felony of shooting somebody, but now you're fleeing the scene. So now you're getting another felony added on top. So I think a lot of this has to do with the fact that you had Stephen Miller just a month or so ago, go on national TV and say ice agents are immune and they can do whatever they want. And if law enforcement and local precincts try to stop them from doing their job, impede them, arrest them, do anything to them, they themselves will go to jail under federal indictments. So you have this mindset of impunity with these guys right now running around doing whatever they want. And it, you know, it's bad because he leaves the scene, but then you have a doctor on scene who's screaming at ice saying, I am a physician, let me go to her. And one of the ice agents says, I don't care. You're not going to, you're not, you're not getting near. And he tried to justify it by saying that it's an investigation. That's why he can't allow him. Right. And I, and I addressed that in my video. Again, I am not anti-police. My daughter was a cop. Okay. So I'm very pro law and order, but it doesn't, the crime scene does not matter. What precedent takes case is saving a life. So yes, you might mess up a crime scene, but if there is a gunshot victim crime scene, be damn, you save the life. Now, in all reality, a doctor probably couldn't have done anything for her because she was probably dead after the first shot. Right. But the fact that they didn't render aid themselves refused to allow a physician to render aid. And now there's reports that they even blockaded the ambulance for several minutes after it arrived from rendering aid. But there's, there's a lot of issues with this. And I mean, it's, it's even in combat as soldiers, Marines, whoever, they tell us that when we get into a firefight and let's say someone, someone from the enemy, perceived enemy is left alive, it is now our responsibility to render aid to the enemy. Exactly. How many, how many, uh, Taliban, how many Al Qaeda, how many, uh, insurgents in, in, in different war zones have the United States medevaced out and put them through surgery and saved their life? Several. I mean, I, I can attest firsthand to, to medevacking a Taliban fighter out. Yeah. You know, and, and that's just what we do. So here we are in America and you know, so let's say that you neutralize the threat. Okay. Is the threat neutralized? Yes. Is the area secure? I'd say so. So then at that point, if the, if the threat is neutralized and the area secure, then it's your job. It's, it's your actual obligation and duty and protocol, by the way, to go check on this person to see if they're still breathing and then render aid. Or if you can't render aid, then yes, get your medics there. If you need an ambulance, then make it a priority, let them through, give them an escort, something you have a physician on scene, a civilian that's saying, Hey, look, I'm just a nobody, but I, I'm a doctor. I can at least triage or something. And they're like, Nope, Nope, it's an investigation. We're not going to let you. So it's, and this speaks to the mindset that you were talking about, Mike, this mindset comes from the top. They say shit rolls downhill. So when you have people like Stephen Miller and Donald Trump, who are supporting this rhetoric where ICE can just go around acting with immunity, which immunity wise on paper, yes, they do have immunity, but that doesn't mean that they can break their own protocol here, they're breaking their own protocol. Okay, so you shot this lady now your job to, to do something about it to help her, but they don't even do that. And they linger and then you're right. That guy that took the shots, I saw the video of the lady that watched that kind of recorded him walking, his head was down. He knew he messed up. He knew that he made a mistake, that he probably could have done something other than take his gun out and shoot. And that's probably why he left and him leaving, man, that's just adding fuel to the fire for this whole thing. But these, but these ICE agents, they are normalizing this aggression, which trickles down to the PDs. And now you're seeing police departments and videos of police officers doing regular traffic pullovers. And they're asking people to gather cars as if that's protocol, you know, so this kind of aggression is now trickling down and it's dangerous. It's a very dangerous precedent that we are setting. You know, if we're saying that ICE is there to control immigration and get illegals, man, they are so far off that path right now. And when I tell people that ICE is acting like Gestapo, you know, not identifying themselves, not showing their faces, which I get the not showing your face because I get it. It's called force protection. You don't want all these guys getting researched on the internet. But if they were doing the right thing and they were trying to do the right thing, then they wouldn't have to show their faces. I mean, are they trying to win hearts and minds or are they trying to win the American people by force? I think it's by force. I mean, if you look at the rhetoric coming out of the Trump administration, they don't care about hearts and minds. They care about force. I mean, you just had the vice president a week or two ago come out and say that as soon as they have the numbers, ICE will be going door to door. Well, you know, another police force that did that back in 1941, the SS looking for undesirables. Where's your papers? Show me your papers. Are we in Nazi Germany now or is this America? I understand. Are we in KGB Russia or yeah, exactly. Exactly. And like, I understand a hundred percent and I agree with a country has to have borders. It has to have rule of law. Like if you come here, you have to come here the right way. On my family side, we've done the immigration thing before and it's a process. It costs a lot of money. It's a headache. It's a pain in the butt and it takes a long time, way too long for the process to go through. And, but if you do everything right, then you're good. And I've had friends who came over here legally and then got messed up. They got in trouble with the law, whatever, and they got deported for it and it sucks, but they knew like if you catch a felony, your green card is gone, right? And they caught a felony and they're, they're in Mexico city right now. One of my best friends. So I don't, I don't like it, but what we're seeing now, this to me, it's, it's kind of like Venezuela. Oh, it's all about stopping drugs. Well, now we just want their oil. And so it's the same thing anymore. Yeah. Immigration was all about the worst of the worst and getting these rapists and murderers out of here. But all we see them doing is going to Home Depot and taking people that are just trying to work for a living. Like, first of all, that's only a misdemeanor. Okay. So yes, you can get deported if you come here illegal, but it is just a misdemeanor. So why are we putting them in prison concentration camps? Why not just, Hey, you're here illegal. Okay. We'll drive you back across the border and send you on your way. No, we're going to put them in these prison concentration camps and torture them. One of them down there in Texas is notorious for raping the female inmates. And it's like, I mean, that doesn't surprise me at all. What, what is, what are, what are we becoming? And what are, what are we allowing? I'm a conservative. I get, I get called a libtard and a Democrat and all this stuff all the time. I am a very conservative person, but I'm anti-racist. I'm anti-bigoted and I am very pro rule of law. And I, I see a bunch of racism, bigotry, and I don't see rule of law. And that's why I didn't vote for Trump because I can't vote for Trump. Um, when he is a convicted felon and he is accused of a lot of heinous things and he said racist and bigoted things. But I also didn't vote for Kamala Harris because I don't believe that that was a fair democratic nomination. There was no primary, right? So the American people didn't get to decide. It's like you get, you, you're getting Trump or you're getting Kamala Harris. Well, that's not democracy. So I just didn't vote. Maybe that makes me at fault, but, um, I am definitely not a liberal. So it's not me taking the liberal stance here. It's just, I'm an American. I'm just an American father, businessman, uh, citizen journalist podcaster, but I love this country and I want to see it be good. And I think we're going down an extremely, extremely dangerous thing. I agree with you. And I, and I can echo your principles that you stand on because I traditionally have always been a conservative, but I want to say in the last two years, um, I am neither a conservative nor a liberal. Um, I am however, a constitutional list. I will always support the constitution and the civil rights of people. And that's what I, that's where all my arguments based off of is I don't care about politics. It's called principles over politics for a reason. And you know, when I don't, I mean, I, I'm nuanced is what I want to say. I can see, I can see the good in all sides, but when, when the sides are starting to take advantage of the people based off of scenario driven events or politics, then that's when they start losing my support. That doesn't make me a Democrat or a Republican. I am, I am truly an America first person. I sit here as an Afghan whose parents came here in the eighties after the Soviet war. We were escaping war to come to a place where there is no war. I had an amazing childhood. I had 23 years in the military. I'm just about as patriotic as you get as an immigrant. And I wasn't born here. I came here when I was like four years old. So I'm a, I'm a first-generation immigrant myself. Now I got four kids that are Americans, but man, none of that matters as far as skin color, Brown, white, conservative, liberal, Democrat, none of that matters anymore. I tell people that the left and the right are dead. MAGA is dying. It's now it's us versus them. And we need to understand and accept this, this outlook that neither the Democrats or the Republicans give a shit about you as an American. They only care about their friends who are mainly all other rich people, corporate elites, technocrats, call them what you want. Oil, oil tycoons, but that's the only people they care about because at the end of the day, it's all self-preservation. You know, they are in self-preservation. They know that if they go against the grain, they're going to get fired, they'll lose their political career or their seat. And then what are they going to do after that? Be a political analyst on some, you know, news channel. And so they, they play the game and that's why the American people always come last. And that's why Trump has did a 180 on us since his campaign trail. And he hasn't come through on any of his promises. In fact, he's went against his promises, the president of peace and no more wars. And here you are talking about taking Greenland as the 51st state and all of this nonsense. I mean, how, I don't understand how people can even be maggot anymore, you know, unless they're a cult. And that's where I stand as far as American people go. I don't like choosing sides anymore, but I know that there's always a side that is right, that is principle based. And that's where I tried to lean to. You hear all of these white nationalist Christian podcasters, TPUSA, and they're, they're trying to change the narrative of the founding fathers that this country was founded on white Christian nationalism. And that's just patently false. I mean, when you look at the founding fathers, most of them, including George Washington, were Freemasons. And if you know anything about Freemasons, they, yeah, they're dais. They don't believe in any one religion. If you go to any Freemason temple, you'll find a Quran, you'll find the Vita, you'll find a Bible, you'll find a Torah, because they, they believe that controlling the narrative of governments is you can't be connected to one religion. You basically, they teach you how to manipulate religion in order to manipulate power, right? And then you look at the Constitution itself, nowhere does it mention Jesus, nowhere does it mention Christianity. And they intentionally wrote it that way. Then when you look at Benjamin Franklin's own writings, if you look at the, his own Bible, he literally took out the Jesus miracles out of his Bible. And I think it was Thomas Edison who said that Christianity is a cult, right? And so the founding fathers had absolutely no allegiance to white Christian nationalism. Now, obviously they had an allegiance to white nationalism because blacks were considered not to have souls. George Washington had hundreds of slaves. Other founding fathers, fathers had a lot of slaves. And so I always pose this question to these guys who say, but we've got to get back to what the founding fathers believed. Okay. So then you're going to be a Freemason slave owner who believes that women don't have a soul. Is that what you're saying? No. Well, then what are you even talking about? Because you haven't actually read a history book in your life, but you're getting on a podcast, you're going to a TPUSA event and you're spilling out all of this lies and nonsense. The whole reason why America has survived, because in all reality, America as a country never should have survived and it never should have become a superpower the way that it has been because it was separated from the levers of power by an ocean. The fact that we were able to do that is because despite all the flaws in our history, and we have some horrendous ones with slavery, native Americans, Japanese internment, you name it, we've done it all. Every mistake you could make as a young nation, America's made it. But there's always been one overriding principle. The constitution of the United States is the rule of the land. And that means that everybody is equal. Period. Doesn't matter what your religion is, doesn't matter what your ethnicity is, sex, any of that. So at the end of the day, everybody has the same rights. And as soon as we throw that away, this country is dead because I'm telling you right now, the white Christian nationalists, and I grew up in this, I grew up a Pentecostal. That ideology, this country will be a third row country within 20 years if that ideology ever prevailed. I guarantee it. Yeah, I agree. I mean, yes, I get that argument from a lot of people all the time too that because I'm Muslim, right? And they, so they, they're like, well, America is a Christian founded nation. And I try to tell them the same thing. Like I say, you know, some of those guys might've been Christian, but half of, at least half of them were Deists, you know? And like you said, they were, they were Freemasons and they didn't care about religion. They just, they just cared about controlling the religion, not necessarily practicing the religion. And honestly, if they wanted the America, I mean, look, these guys were brilliant. The founding fathers, the framers, they wrote the art, they wrote the, the constitution, the bill of rights, all of that. He wrote it such so brilliantly that they, it's like, they could see it to the future. And they knew that America was going to become a melting pot for free people from who were wanting to escape oppression. It started with white people escaping oppression and taxation without representation, but they also brought hundreds of slaves with them right off the bat because they needed their servants. So America was founded by not just Christians who were escaping a tyrannical regime back in the UK, but also bringing the slaves with them. So they had to do it together. I mean, and, and if they wanted America to be a Christian nation forever, then they would have wrote that into the constitution, that America is a white nation for white people and for white Christians. And we don't want anybody else here. Okay. Well, good luck building this nation then, you know? And so a lot of people forget that. And yeah, it's so easy to quote that because the founding fathers were white European dudes, but they don't understand that even today, if you look at your job today, if you pulled all the color people or the brown people out of your job, you're more than likely your company will probably go bankrupt and they wouldn't know who to hire. They wouldn't know where to hire from your grocery stores would go empty. The shelves would be empty. Like, I mean, the gas station would have lines. They don't understand the economy would collapse and America only survives and thrives because of our diversity. That's the only reason no other nation is, is like the U S is because we decided that we want a place for all people to be free, treated equally, regardless of religion, race, skin color, you know, or even political ideologies. It's just sad that now, you know, 250 years later we have people that are trying to that still don't get that really, you know, they don't get that. And don't forget guys, that if you want to go back to those days, then you're going to have to make your women cover their heads. You know, everything you complain about Muslim women now being oppressed. Those women were coming over here with blowouts and braids. I mean, they had head covers and if they didn't have a head cover, they were treated like they were treated probably worse than their slaves. Yeah. And that's just the bottom line. So, I don't want to, I don't want to make this a religious, I don't want to make this a religious debate, but there's a lot of hypocrisies that come with these, you know, these. Yeah. I mean, if you look at the white Christian nationalist movements, like, you know, you have one that's trying to build a whites only community and all this stuff and what are they doing? They literally want what Islam has, but they don't want to admit it, right? So, they don't want women, for example, to be able to vote. Well, in Islam, our women can vote, no problem. They don't believe that women should be getting an education. Well, in Islam, our women have an education, but they want their women to be loyal and dismissive and not be a floozy out there on the streets. Well, our women are educated and not floozies out on the street. They are loyal. They are great mothers. They're great partners, great business women. Like, it's, they want everything that we have, but they want to go back to like a Stone Age version of Christianity in it. Again, I know because I grew up in it, I understand the ideology behind it. It's, you know, the pendulum always swings to the left or to the right. The pendulum in America has swung so far to the left to where you literally have normalized six foot two men with hairy legs showing up in kidney gardeners talking about sex ed with painted toes and a dress on and in a makeup job that would make him look like bozo the clown. That's, that's just weird. That probably shouldn't be happening. I don't know too many liberal parents who are okay with that. I know there are people in the LGBTQ community who are perfectly fine with it, but I know a lot of people who are gay, who are not okay with it. And then you have the pendulum now swings all the way to the right. It's like it can never just settle in the middle. It has to go extreme left or extreme right. And so now we're all the way on the extreme right where it's white Christian nationalism taking over the country and everybody's an enemy. If you disagree with the government, you're a domestic terrorist, blah, blah, blah. So what do you think? Um, like you have Donald Trump literally joking about canceling the midterm elections now. And this is how Donald Trump always does it. He'll joke about something, make everybody laugh. Oh, this is Donny B and Donny. And then he does it. Do you think that if this guy cancels the midterms, like, are we going to end up in a revolutionary civil war or are we going to end up with an IRA style group of people running around setting off pipe bombs or, I mean, what, what do you think about that? You know, I kind, I kind of saw, I kind of saw this scenario playing out this year where I personally think that Donald Trump wants to want a third term. And I think he knows that if we, if the Republicans lose the midterms that his third term dream may be over. And so him joking about there's not going to be a midterm or, you know, I read, I read a couple articles on this where they want to give, they want to take away the electoral authorities away from the secretaries of state and give it to the actual legislation. Meaning they want to give it to the heads of the, so, and, and that's a very easy way to control an election when you don't have a secretary of state or election authorities who are unbiased and they're just doing their job by counting votes or controlling that material. And instead you want to give it to the governor or the governor's office. That, that's a, I mean, that's not exactly the formula for a fair and free election, because depending on the governor and the state, they could, you know, tamper with those. And, you know, and so when he's talking about there may not be a midterm, it's because he's deathly afraid that, that he has lost so much of his base that now people are looking at anybody who's America first. They're not looking at Democrats. You don't have MAGA people looking at Democrats. I think MAGA, the people that left MAGA and conservatives that are more in the middle, I think they are looking at whatever politicians put America first. And what I mean by America first is one, they're not taking money from lobbies like APAC who are basically, you know, you take money from APAC, that's it. They got you, right? And they're saying, look, we'll give you this money, but you have to unconditionally support Israel. You have locked yourself in at that point. You're saying that I've taken this money and now it's like you're working for the mob because if you go against the mob, you're done. Your career is done. And that's why we, if not killed. And that's why we see a lack of America first politicians except for a few like, you know, Thomas Massey. I mean, he's one of my favorite. Margie Taylor-Green, she's actually done a really good job and I can understand why she left office. So you have very few Americans that are actually America first and you see how the administration treats and talks about them. And it's tough to say where these midterms are going to go. I personally think that if the midterms just went naturally and people voted, that you're going to see a lot of Republicans lose their seats from these states. And of course that terrifies Donald because he knows that if Republicans don't hold the majority of the House and Senate come closer to 2028, that he's, there's not going to be a chance for him to get a third term, which obviously is illegal. But when we talk, when we talk about illegalities in this administration, you know, it's, it's almost synonymous. So it's, that's a tough one. It's a little early to say, but the fact that they are trying to take the election authorities away from secretaries of state and give them to the governor's office is very shady and sketch to me. Yeah. I mean, there, even in the Democrat party, you have the America first ideology is seeking. And if you look at mom, Donnie, I don't agree with all of his policies, but there's one thing that's unequivocal about him. He's not even just America first. He is New York city first. Like he doesn't give a crap about Israel. He doesn't care about any other country right now. He's trying to do his job, which is be the mayor of, you know, the, the biggest city in, in the United States and take care of, of his responsibilities. And I just find it really odd that you have government officials, everything from legislatures to governors to even school board members getting these paid trips by the Israeli government to go over there and get indoctrinated. Yeah. Like, um, they, they, they just took a thousand preachers over there. Now they, they, they have a plan to take 10,000 more over there to get indoctrinated. Wait a minute. It's gold field 2.0. Yeah. What are we doing here? Like this is a foreign country. Imagine if, if they were going over to communist China to do that, like the outrage would be unbelievable. I mean, imagine if 397 of our politicians were funded by communist China, right? If APAC was actually Chinese instead of Israel, right? And, and people would have a problem with it. Imagine if, if Saudi Arabia invited, you know, 1000 priests or pastors to Saudi Arabia and say, Hey, we want you to go back now and push Islam. People would have a major problem with that. I think people have become a little too desensitized to Israel in the last few decades, but ever since October 7th and what's been happening in Gaza for the last two years and beyond, I mean, West Bank, Vietnam, Syria, you name it, people have woken up to it's brought a lot of attention, not just to Israel, but also what is what and who is associated to Israel. And now we're starting to see the American people kind of wake up a little bit, but yeah, this is dangerous. This is school field 2.0. This is the digital age of school field. Whereas back when our great grandfather or great grandparents were alive, they physically gave him a school field Bible and said, this is what you should be supporting. This is Judeo Christianity, Israel first, all that nonsense. And now they're doing it again, not to mention the geofencing of churches, not to mention the weird, like exactly an ancient doing that to religious organizations in the United States that I don't understand how the churches are outraged by that. How would, I mean, how would, how would, you know, like if, if we have Netanyahu who comes here, like he's like, he's going on vacation. He's been here what five times in 2025. And this man has a nerve to during the UN General Assembly to hold a meeting with all the top influencers of social media. And basically, and then on top of that videotape it and air it to say we need to start a social media campaign to get people closer to Israel. To, to get more support for Israel. Imagine, imagine if a, if anybody from the Middle East came over here and did that the media would have a frenzy. What you're coming over here to recruit our young men and women to then push Islam or push. So when people say that there is, it makes me laugh when people say there's a Muslim invasion, right? Because there's four and a half on the low side for on the high side, four, four and a half million Muslims here in America. The majority of those 99.99% of those are American citizens. And they are just literally living their lives. We don't hold a lot of seats in office. We don't, I mean, there's not a lot of Muslim governors or mayors out there. I mean, you see mom Donnie and how much attention he's getting, but then you see Ilhan Omar. I mean, there's not a lot of Muslims in Congress. I'm not quite sure how there's a Muslim invasion when you have the halls of Congress decorated with the Israeli flag. When you have politicians who are being asked the question, Hey, sir, America first or Israel first, and they can't answer. You can't answer. You're literally in the headquarters of our government as a US politician representing Americans and you can't answer America first. That should tell us something. So when we talk about an actual invasion, then let's talk about who owns the media, who owns the banks, who owns the healthcare industry, who owns the big pharma, right? Who owns the tech industries, literally every industry that shapes our lives and affects our lives every day, whether it's prices or protocols or ideologies, these people own it and they're behind it. So I'm tired of hearing that there's a Muslim invasion when the Israeli flag is literally standing next to the American flag. And you have people like Netanyahu and others from Israel coming here with red carpet treatment, basically just doing whatever they want. Not to mention all the staff at the Pentagon, all the staff at the White House that don't even hold actual positions, but they are still Israeli dual citizens or they have some kind of connection to Israel. And it's just ridiculous, man, because it just tells me that Americans are so naive or they're blatantly okay with it. Well, even like people say, well, this is the Republican issue. It's not. I mean, look at Obama, his chief of staff, the dude was a dual citizen Israeli IDF soldier as the chief of staff. Now the chief of staff, that is basically the president secretary. He is privy to the most top level security clearance. He sees everything. He is the gatekeeper. And then you go to Biden, same thing. His staff was made up, I think 70 or 80% of either Jewish, some of which actually had dual citizens, some even served in the IDF. And I just asked myself this question is, well, how can you know that our secrets as a country are safe when your chief of staff, who is the gatekeeper for the president sees all the top clearance level stuff is an IDF soldier. He didn't serve in the United States military. He served in Israel's military. And then you got to ask the question, like, are we being controlled by Israel? Here's a litmus test. Are we allowed to sell the F 35 to whoever we want? Question, answer. No, we're not. Why? Because we have to get Israel's permission to sell the F 35 to any outside nation outside of Israel or the United States. Well, how did that happen? Well, because Israel wanted to F 35 when we developed it. So we developed the F 35 I, which stands for Israel. It's slightly less technologically capable than our own version, which only makes sense. You don't sell the exact same version to people who may not always be your friends. Well, that wasn't good enough for Israel. So Israel insisted that they participate in some of the navigation software as well as some of the technology in the advanced helmet. And once they did that and they got America to agree to that in the fine print, it says, since Israeli technology is now in the F 35, you can't sell it unless we approve it. So the United States under Donald Trump, he wanted to enter Turkey back into the F 35 program. But then Israel said, Nope, we veto that. You can't do it. They're, they're, they're an enemy to us. We don't like them. And we have veto power in the F 35. So Donald Trump shut down the deal. Right. So that tells you right there. Like the United States, would we make that deal with China? Would we make that deal with the UK? Would we make that deal with Russia, France, anybody? No, of course not. Only one country. And it's because they have not just a pack, a pack gets all the attention, but every state has its own version. Like California has JPEG, which just lobbied governor Newsom to sign off on a law that in Hollywood classrooms, they have to fly the Israeli flag. Now they don't have to fly the US flag, but they have to fly the Israeli flag to combat anti-Semitism. So they have all of these networks and not a single one of them are registered as a foreign agent, like every other one has to. And that, that is, it's got to change. Well, and it's also, I mean, look, you know, we talk about, a lot of people cry about Sharia and they say Sharia law because they add the Western injection of the word law into that for the scary effect. When we all know as Muslims, that Sharia is no different than biblical law, Torah law. And as Muslims, we use Sharia, the Quran, the Hadiths, any other kind of religious references that help guide our life. It tells us, if you get into a dispute with your neighbor, this is how you handle it. If you were getting a divorce, this is how you handle it. In the time of conflict, these are the only times and conditions and the parameters which you can defend yourself and kill other people. But even within that, we have parameters. If they yield, then you can't aggress on them. There is no compulsion in Islam. We have, so Sharia, that's Sharia. Sharia is like, are you telling me that Christians don't live by some kind of biblical law? Why do they go to the altar and get married in front of a pastor with the pastor having a Bible in his hand? So they are also living by some type of Sharia, except it's Christian Sharia or Judeo Sharia. But then when you look at it and I tell people, if America is a Christian nation and that's what you guys boast about, how come we don't have any Christian laws in America? Why is there not one single religious law in America? Then how could there ever be a actual Sharia law in America? The Constitution specifically says that religion needs to stay out of politics for that specific reason. But to add to kind of support your point is I don't see Muslims trying to pass legislation that says, "Well, if anybody speaks against Islam, it's anti-Islamic or anti-Semitism." But I sure do see laws that are proposed and trying to get passed for anti-Semitism. So here in America, we have the freedom of speech, except when it comes to one state, except when it comes to Israel, we have to bite our tongue. And now they're trying to make a legislation. So who's taking over? Who's this invasion by? And people get too wrapped up around the weeds because they still pay attention to headlines and mainstream narratives, and then they kind of get stuck in that. And Americans are lazy. With chat GPT and all this AI at our fingertips, they still can't bring themselves to actually look up something and say, "Well, I see what the media is telling me, but then I see this other side of it. So let me do some due diligence and maybe research." And that's called tribalism. And that's why America is where it's at today is because of tribalism, not just tribalism as in I am hardcore for this, you know, whatever geographic of Americans, but then it's also to impose those on other people. And if you don't follow my tribalism or my tribalistic ideology, then you are my enemy. And I don't think America needs to be tribal. I think we would be better off if everybody was like, "Okay, dude, you're gay. You guys believe in trees. You guys want your own city with just white people." Great. I support it. Those people, those white Americans that only want whites only in their little town, hey, dude, more power to you. You know why? Because it's America. And as long as you're not imposing on me, as long as you're not infringing on my rights, then half your little community. We have little communities all over the country. We have Amish communities. We have Mormon communities. I mean, you live in Utah and we have Jews. I mean, what's the city in New Jersey? I mean, most of New Jersey is Jewish communities, I believe. So what's wrong with some Muslims wanting to start their own community in the city of Epic, Texas? What's wrong with that? And not only that, I looked into that epic controversy. I made that pun right there. That was super cool. Epic controversy. I looked into it and nowhere in their thing does it say that a non-Muslim can't live there. It's just a pre-planned community. I was in construction for a long time and we do these developments and stuff and they're pre-planned and you start selling them off. And a lot of times they would sell them off the units before we even started construction on them. So yeah, I agree. I got no problem with it. If somebody goes and buys 500 acres of land and they want to cut it up and sell it to their friends and family that are all white and Christian, more power to you. I don't care. It's private property. Do what you want. Exactly. My only issue is if it's like in a city and you say, well, black people can't live here. Mexican people can't live here. Nobody can live here except for the people that we want. Well, now it's public. There's private property, but it's a public city. So you can't do that because that would violate the constitution. But if it's just private property and you want to build a homesteading community and it's just, I don't know, all Southeast Asians or something, have at it. I don't care. They do that here in Texas. Here in Texas, what's been happening in the last five, 10 years is little micro communities of farmers have gotten together. So you have farmers that are buying a couple of hundred acres and then they're sectioning that for everybody. And then they're saying, look, if you're going to live here, you have to farm. We will supply some of the livestock. Maybe the chickens will help you get going. But the whole purpose of living in this community is that you have to farm. So every little micro community or micro society can have their emphasis, but it's when you start saying that no blacks allowed, no Muslims allowed, no Christians allowed. That's where you start. And again, that's your right to say that, you know, as long as, and if that's what you want to make it, also fine with me. I know where to stay away from, you know, but I'm all about you being able to do that because America is big enough for us to do that and not, you know, impede on one another. But, but yet somehow Muslims who want to build a little community in Texas, all of a sudden is, oh my God, a Muslim invasion of Texas. Okay. If you go to Florida, the entirety of Florida is a swamp. And if you go there, there is micro pockets or micro communities of just Floridians that literally have a moat around their community. So they built up this community with houses, a clubhouse, it may be a grocery store, a theater, but then it's gated. They're saying that you can't come visit here unless you have a guest pass and you have to know somebody that lives here. And those are all over Florida. It's very private and, and not just Florida, but they're everywhere. And so where it's kind of like, again, I said this double standard of, oh, these Brown people who are Muslim want to want a city. No way. That's crazy. It's going to be a takeover. Um, I mean, it's just a complex topic, you know, we could talk about this for hours. There's one thing that I want to, there's one thing, sorry, Mike, I wanted to kind of go back to the ice shooting because this, this, there is a bigger problem here that has come out out of this shooting. Yes. We, everybody feels bad for the woman. Everybody, I think the majority of us feel that this ice officer deserves justice and, or he needs to see justice, um, uh, and be punished. But then you have Kristi Noem that goes onto her announcement and calls this woman a domestic terrorist. Yeah. I mean, that is literally the worst label you can set on an American citizen is a domestic terrorist. And I told people years ago to stop throwing this word around, because if you throw this word around and you call other Americans terrorists, you are just one falling into the propaganda of the government, but then empowering the government to now use that label for anybody that they deem. She's a white, probably a Christian woman, white. She doesn't belong to an extremist group. She doesn't belong to some kind of radical group or anti elites or anti ice. You know, she's just a woman living her life and she's labeled a domestic terrorist. And then this is a domestic terrorist attack on ice officers. So now that we've created this slippery slope, people that used to think, well, only Brown people and Muslims are going to get called terrorists. This is the perfect example, people, that now you can get called a terrorist and can get shot in the face as you're leaving your house and trying to drive away. So this is where we have brought ourselves to this point. And then you got Donald Trump going on his tweet or his truth social and confirming that we had a domestic terror, that this woman is a domestic terrorist, again, further fueling and fanning the flames of bigotry and racism and just extremism through them. So instead of bringing people together and saying, no, she's not a domestic terrorist. She was just a woman. It was a bad situation. You know, the cops going to get punished and we feel sorry for her family. No, no, no, they got to go all in. She's a domestic terrorist. Our ice officers did the right thing. It was a defensive. They said defensive shots, Mike. I can tell you right now that there is no such thing as defensive shots when it comes with the firearms. When we shoot our gun, it's in offense. We are offensively taking those shots to put down. It's either them or us at that point. And so everything about it is a lie, furthering the rhetoric and then the hate and the bigotry. And now anybody can get labeled a terrorist. Even a white mom with children in an urban neighborhood in America is now a domestic terrorist. That's where we're at. Trump and his cabinet set that tone very early. You know, when you got people like Pete Hegseth, Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, you know, they're all echoing the same type of tone. They're all echoing the same type of rhetoric. Then yeah, you're right, man. The people believe in it because, again, they don't do the due diligence of researching for themselves. And Trump has shown us from day one that he is not America first, that he is not the president of peace, that he is not going to make America great again. But yet somehow people are still in this spell. And I'm not sure what it's going to take for even the hardcore MAGA people to wake up and understand. Maybe it is going to take something like you said earlier, you know, because not only are they trying to control the midterms, but they're also trying to redraw the district lines and, you know, they're trying to do that whole underhanded thing where, you know, certain counties votes won't matter as much, you know, and that way they can kind of swing the vote towards the Republican side. That's also election tampering. And that's why a lot of people have a problem with it. They're trying to do it here in Texas and North Carolina. I think they're trying to do it somewhere on the West Coast as well. And it's one act after another. And this administration is showing their true colors. Not only have they shown their true colors, but they are standing firm behind those colors that they're flying. And none of it is America first. None of it is Americans first. Venezuela is a perfect example of that. Why are we invested in Venezuela at all when our country is on the brink of societal collapse? And I don't mean like economic collapse, I mean societal collapse. We have a lot of issues here in America that we need to focus on. But yet, we're starting a new war in another continent. And they say it's over drugs. They go in there and they illegally get this guy. It's one thing to have an indictment for a foreign leader on paper. Cool. That paper is only worth the paper that it's written on. But as far as actionable, you cannot execute an extraction and detention of a foreign leader. Whether he's legitimate or not legitimate, you can't do that. And so they did that. They went and got this guy. They got his wife. They brought him back. They're trying to say he was part of this drug cartel. They had him on charges of drugs, fentanyl. We know fentanyl doesn't come from Venezuela. The cocaine, we know cocaine has been coming into America with our permission for decades now. And they bring this guy back. They get everybody hyped up. Oh, he's at narco traffic and, you know, whatever. They come here. Now they got this guy. And they can't even pin the drug charges on him. In fact, the cartel that he apparently started and ran was actually started by the CIA. And Maduro was never even a part of it, you know. And they got Mexican cartel leaders that are trying to say, well, Maduro did business with us too. Mike, if you were the leader of a foreign nation, would you even be in the same space as a cartel leader? No, you would never. Even if you were shady, you would add layers and layers of anonymity to that. You know what I mean? And so it's just ridiculous. Now they have this guy. So what do you have this guy on? Machine gun charges? Machine gun charges? In his own country? In his own house? In his own country? But we know it's about the oil. We know it's about regime change. We know that Maduro spoke. He spoke in favor of a Palestinian state. He spoke against Israel. He spoke against Zionism. In fact, we just saw an older video of President Herzog or Herzog, whatever the Israeli president's name is, in an interview or not interview, but a meeting talking about, well, you know, there's two countries that really go against, you know, Israel. And Venezuela is one of them. So what are we going to do about it? I mean, they had this planned for years. Maduro was the fall guy because of the narco drug stuff. But really, Maduro is one of the few leaders in the southern hemisphere and western hemisphere that are actually advocating for Palestine and I guess Israel and Zionism. And so they had to get him out of there. The oil is just a perk. The silver perk, the gold, the 160 tons of gold is a perk that goes to the elitists, you know. And now we're seizing, now we're seizing vessels that actually at least one of them belong to Russia. So now you got Russia and China saying that obviously this is, you know, a huge international crime or breaking international laws, which they're right. Now, I'm not saying that Russia and China are doing good stuff in Venezuela, but also who are we to say that China and Russia can't deal with countries in Central and South America? I mean, we're all over the Middle East. We're all over the Europe. We're all over Asia. So, but we're doing dealings with them too, you know. So this whole Monroe Doctrine of, well, nobody should come over to the western hemisphere because America controls it. Dude, what? First of all, the Monroe Doctrine is not law. And two, it would be actually illegal to do any of that. So yes, this whole thing is fake. Not to mention Venezuela didn't have a central bank. They soon will now, you know, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Iraq. None of them has central banks either. They do now. There's a lot of angles here. It's not just Venezuela as a narco-trafficking state. It is. But so is every other country in that continent. They have to. It's part of their economy. But we see this for what it is. Unfortunately, a lot of people just think that, you know, Trump is doing the right thing and it's going to make oil gas or gas prices cheaper somehow and this and that and the other. And it's not. It's another Iraq 2.0. It's another Libya. It's another Iran back in the 70s when we staged a coup and took the Shah out. Or, excuse me, took the, put in place the Shah, basically. And then you see the, you see what the Shah did for 26 years. That led to the revolution, the Islamic revolution, because people were tired of a corrupt leader and the Shah was corrupt. And now you see what they're doing in Iran now with the Shah's son, Pavlavi, Rizal Pavlavi. He is just like his dad. He's also Israel first. In fact, he has photos and videos of him kissing the wall. And, you know, they're staging riots in Iran to basically get it ready for a coup, just like they're staging riots and protests in Venezuela. And they have been for years. They did the same thing in Libya. I mean, this is the same playbook, different country, different regime or another regime change, really. I was talking to somebody yesterday about this, one of my good friends who's going into law enforcement and, you know, one of his gripes and he actually supported the invasion and actions in Venezuela because he blames Venezuela for the crime, which is what has inspired him to become a cop. And I told him, I was like, listen, brother, do you think that invading a country is going to stop the flow of drugs to the United States? Because as long as there is a demand, there will be drugs in the United States. And if we're going to talk about drugs, I am all for stopping drugs. Drugs destroy people. I've had family members who've been destroyed by drugs. So I'm all for stopping that. But if we're going to do that, then should we start dropping bombs from F-35s on every mansion owned by liquor companies because 185,000 people die every year from alcohol consumption versus around 100,000 from illegal narcotics. So who's the bigger danger here? Both are bad, but who's worse? So why is it okay for tequila manufacturers and whiskey manufacturers to be able to be billionaires and buy yachts and we're all good with them, but we're not okay with a Venezuela dictator doing whatever he's doing in his country and we're going to go take them out. Shouldn't we take out the guys in our own backyard first, solve that problem, and then we can look at the drug problem since the alcohol problem is bigger? And of course, he didn't have an answer for it, but I think it made him think a little bit. I hope it did, is that we have to look at this in a holistic thing. Number one, according to all the research that I did, and I did a bunch on it as soon as Venezuela came up. They don't produce fentanyl, they don't produce heroin. What narcotics they do produce is cocaine and marijuana, mostly cocaine. That cocaine, 90% of it goes to Europe. Only 10% of it comes to the United States. Most of the cocaine comes from Colombia and Mexico and fentanyl comes almost exclusively from Mexico. So we didn't invade them, we invaded Venezuela and immediately it changed from stopping drugs and him being a narco terrorist to, well, he stole our oil. I'm sorry, I didn't know Venezuela was a part of America. How did he steal our oil? They became to America stole our oil and then they buried it under their land, is that what we're saying? Yeah. Did they drill a slant pipe all the way to Texas and start stealing from under the ocean? How is this possible? But that tells you everything you need to know. The petrol dollar is losing its value. They're very scared of bricks. Country is trading outside of the US dollar because our dollar means absolutely nothing. We got off of the gold standard and we tagged it to the price of oil and the agreement was that all these oil producing nations would use the US dollar to trade their oil. And it made America rich. We were able to print money out of thin air basing it on future prices of oil and people just bought it. But now everybody's moving to bricks and start trading oil outside of the dollar, which means the dollar is in jeopardy of collapsing. If that collapses, the United States economy collapses and then we're not a superpower anymore. We've become a third world country overnight. So I understand that they can't have Venezuela pull away from the petrodollar. They can't have all these other oil countries like Saudi Arabia, who suggested they might stop trading in the US dollar. They can't have that. It will destroy America. But is the solution then to just go invade that country because they don't agree with you anymore? Or is it, Hey, you know what? Why don't you come to Washington DC? Let's sit down, have a dinner. Let's talk about how we can do business together. Let's fix your oil infrastructure. Let's do this. Let's do that. And let's make a fair deal because what the United States had with Venezuela prior to Hugo Chavez 25 years ago, whatever nationalizing Venezuela's oil was for every dollar of oils taken out of Venezuela by Exxon, they gave them like two cents. Two cents goes to Venezuela. 98 cents goes to Exxon. That's not a fair deal. And that's why, you know, these, these countries have said, no, we're going to nationalize our stuff. Hugo Chavez, uh, the guy, the predecessor to Maduro, he tried to renegotiate contracts with US oil companies saying, listen, this isn't a fair deal. Let's renegotiate. Let's go 50 50. That's a fair deal. And they said, no. And he said, okay, I'll nationalize the oil then. And you're, I'm canceling your contracts. That's a foreign nation's ability. They can do that. They can cancel a contract. And, uh, so that's really what it all comes down is back to that geopolitics. And you're right, Mike. And it's not just drugs that don't stop flowing. When you, we know this by now because of all the word conflict in the middle East, that when you create a conflict and a foreign nation, you are naturally going to displace people, right? And so now we have the US Senate that basically are trying to advance the war powers resolution to limit further military action by Trump and Venezuela, which I think is a good thing. I think the damage has already been done. And personally, I think it's going to get vetoed anyway. But what happens when you invade a country and then you perpetuate war and conflict is that people start to leave. And if your cop friend was inspired to become a police officer because of the crime, let's not forget that most of the middle Eastern people that are here, most of a lot of the immigrants that are here in America today have come from war torn nations that we, if we didn't start, we definitely had a hand in enhancing, uh, or kind of further escalating. And those people, the reason why we have a lot of immigrants in the US now is because, uh, not to say that we directly, you know, destabilize their countries, but especially in the central and South America, but through some of our backdoor, uh, you know, policies with, you know, these dictators, presidents, we ever want to call them. Hence the sanctions. We have made living conditions for these people very hard now in the sake of an example of the middle East and why we have so many Muslims and Arabs and middle Eastern people, even Africans going to Europe is because there is no war in Europe. Africans can't go from Nigeria to Sudan or go from Sudan to South Africa. They can't displace like that because they're not going to be accepted. They're going to be treated as second-class citizens more than likely. They have their own kind of problems there and they don't want more people. I mean, look at Palestine. Jordan hosts about 2 million refugees from Palestine. Lebanon hosts another 3 million. Egypt has 3 million, right? And we displaced all these people. Now, when you constantly destabilize an entire region like the middle East, then naturally those people are going to go away from the middle East and go to a place where it's safe. What we're seeing in America today for the, in the last 30 years, I just, I just kind of did this research myself. About 30 years ago, you had about a million Muslims here in America. And you had, I think, 15 million non, or you had 15 million immigrants that had come to America back in about 30 years ago. Today, we're sitting at almost 50 million immigrants that are living in America and we're sitting at about 4.5 million Muslims. Okay. And so, where did all these people come from? Well, they didn't come from like China. They didn't come from Belgium. They didn't come from Switzerland and places, the world where it's nice. Cause those people are like, my life was good here. Why would I need to go to America? They got, so in essence where I'm getting at is like, when we constantly, you know, here in Venezuela, let me take it back to Venezuela. So here we are in Venezuela. We already bombed that the Caracas and we killed like, I think roughly 80 to a hundred people there, but now we're talking about further military action and strikes and which is going to again, destabilize Venezuela. Those people are going to naturally leave and they're going to find their way. They're going to eventually find their way to America somehow, if not Mexico, and then they're going to find their way to America. So yes, I commend your police officer friend for joining the police to fight crime, but also when he's supporting the actions in Venezuela, he is also basically advocating for the crime that he is, you know, that he is trying to fight. He is basically supporting that because that's what it turns into. If we never set foot in the Middle East, let's say the Middle East was just 50 years of peace versus 50 years of war. I doubt, I very much doubt that we would have so many immigrants in America, let alone so many Muslims in America. It's not like Muslims want to leave their homes where they lived for centuries and they are surrounded by like-minded people. And that's why here in Dearborn and up in St. Paul, Minnesota, you have Somalis and you have a saturated Somali community and a saturated Middle East community because naturally when you go to a foreign place, you want to find people like you. It gives you a sense of comfort. It gives you a sense of security. You're saying, man, somebody here speaks my language. They understand my culture. There's a mosque here. That's great food, everything. I mean, they naturally congregate together. So St. Paul, it's not like Somalis started coming to St. Paul back in the 90s. That was just an influx because of what we did in Somalia with Black Hawk Down, Mogadishu. But Somalis have been living in Minnesota since the early 1900s. I just learned that for myself. Dearborn, Michigan is the same thing. So over about a hundred years or so, maybe let's say maybe 50 years, you've had a congregation that is in these two cities and probably other places in America as well. Because I know like there's little pockets of Afghans in San Francisco, all these different places, Virginia. But that's what these people are doing. They're congregating due to that familiarity, that comfortability, that security, that doesn't mean that they're taking over. That doesn't mean that crime is ramping up. But what it does mean over time is that when these people grow up in these communities, they're proud patriots. So naturally, they're going to want to serve on the city council. Naturally, they're going to want to be running for mayor and governor and everything else. That's where we get our diversity from, is from all these different people that are coming here and contributing to America. But this admin wants to sell it like, well, what is the problem? Is there too many Middle Eastern people in Dearborn, Michigan? Is that the problem? Do we need to kind of spread them out? Is there too many Somalis in St. Paul? What is the actual problem? There is none. There's absolutely no problem there. That's why New York has little China, little Italy. You have little pockets of communities everywhere. They're okay with that. But when it comes to Muslims and brown people in general, it's just double standard. Sorry, I know we kind of pinballed there a little bit. Yeah, I mean, no, I agree with you. When you look at it, Dearborn is the only Muslim majority city or Arab Muslim majority city in the United States. But how many cities are there in the United States? Thousands. There are thousands of cities. You've got one city with a majority. And then even if you go to Dearborn, and you'll notice like there's their biggest mosque that they have there is flanked by two churches, two active churches, right? Like the people of Dearborn, I'm sure there are people in Dearborn who don't like the Muslims, but the vast majority of them who are Christian, who are Polish descent, who are Arab Muslim, whatever. It's like a really peaceful city and everybody's like getting along and they all have a good time. It's these outside agitators like the fake Christian crusader, Jake Lang, who's really Jewish and his sister serves in the IDF. Coming there trying to talk about we got to have a Christian crusade against these terrible Muslims like look, Jake, we all know you're Jewish, dude, shut up, stop, bro. Just stop, right? Just just be honest. Just be like you're Jewish. You don't like Muslims and you have more credibility. But yeah, I agree. There's no threat to America. Like if I didn't know you and I'm just walking down the street, I'm going to Walmart shopping or whatever and you're in there shopping. I'm just like, there's another American, right? I don't know that you're Afghan. I don't know that you're Muslim. You just look like another American to me, right? You just have a better tan and maybe a little bit better of a build because you're a little bit younger than me. I don't know. But other than that, you know what I'm saying? Like we're all just American. So what it all comes down to in reality is these people on the extreme right, they are openly or closeted bigots and racists and now they have an opportunity to express it. That's all it comes down to. And that's, and I say this all the time. There are racist white people. There are racist black people. I lived in an all black neighborhood in East Oakland. There are racist Mexicans. I've worked with a bunch of them in my past and they're racist Muslims, even though Islam forbids racism. There are racist Muslims. I've met them. But they're always the minority. The majority of white people, I don't believe give two craps if somebody is black, brown, Asian, whatever. I don't think the majority of black people care if somebody is white, black, brown. Most Muslims, most Jews don't care. It's, but the minority is the one that screams the loudest and the squeaky wheel gets the grease, right? And that's the kind of the situation that we're in right now is you have this minority extreme that is pushing this division. And I think it's pretty sad now before we go, uh, brother, being that, uh, your, uh, second amendment pro advocate, you are, uh, current military steel, a trainer, all of this stuff. What should people know? Because we have on my, on my podcast, we have people on the right, we have people on the left, we have people who are pro guns, people are anti guns for the anti gun crowd. And most of them are going to be liberal. Um, what should they, why are guns not scary? Why, why does the second amendment matter? And why should they maybe consider going and taking a course, something like you offer or somebody in their local area? Why should they go and take a course? Because in my opinion, fear comes from the unknown. And most of the people who are against the second amendment, it's because they don't know anything about it. Right? Um, I personally don't carry a gun. I haven't shot a gun in over 20 plus years. Um, I don't feel like I need one where I live in a very safe area out in the middle of nowhere on my ranch. I don't need it. We don't have wildlife out here. That's going to hurt my animals or anything. I don't, I don't have a gun, but I'm pro second amendment for anybody who wants to do that. I understand the responsibility of guns though. It's a very big responsibility if you're going to own one. So what would you say to somebody who's, you know, maybe they don't know anything about guns or scared of guns. They're anti-gun. Why should they not be scared? And what would you teach them in like they came to your class? Um, okay. Well, let me start big picture first then. And then we'll bring it down to the ground level. Big picture. The second amendment was written for a reason. It wasn't because people just like guns. It wasn't because people like to shoot guns or they needed guns to hunt animals. They, the second amendment was written for the purpose that in case your government ever infringes on your rights to a point where you and your words don't suffice. You and your protests don't suffice. You and just anything organic to you outside of weapons, brooms, and everything else don't suffice. You at least have weapons to fall back on so that you can fight this tyrannical government. And it doesn't, when we think government, we think big picture like federal, it doesn't have to be that. It could be in your town. It could be in your city. It can be in your state. You know, wherever you, uh, experience that level of corruption to the point where you think, well, words didn't work. Protests didn't work. And now they're patrolling the neighborhoods and they're telling us there's curfews and checkpoints and this and that. At that point, the second amendment was, uh, has an important role as an American. That second amendment gives you the right to defend yourself, not only from anybody else, but from government entities that want to infringe on your rights and your way of life. Okay. That's big picture. That's why it's so important that the second amendment stays intact. That's why it's important that even if you don't support guns, you support the second amendment because that is going to give Americans the ability to defend ourselves. If in case this government ever gets to a place where violence is the norm. And if you don't believe me, then look at the different countries that have taken away the weapons from their, um, from their citizens. Venezuela is one in fact. And in fact, when Venezuela turned in their guns immediately in the following months, almost 600,000 people died from the hands of the government. And so there is places in the country that are perfect examples of what America would look like without a second amendment. Again, do their research on your own, but now let's break it down to, so I given you why the second amendment is important, why it has to stay intact and why we should support it regardless of where we stand on weapons. But then also the, if you look at today's, if you look at today's kind of command climate, if you look at, again, we talked about this for like the last hour about ice, about the rhetoric being pushed from, uh, um, Trump and Christie Noem and all these other people, labeling people, labeling just innocent white women, domestic terrorists. If you see the direction that this country is going in, I would say it is a weapon for your household is a very smart item, not only, not because of the big government stuff, but now let's talk about, you know, crime. Let's talk about your neighborhood. Let's talk about, you know, not just crime in your neighborhood, but what if you're at a gas station? What if you're at the super, uh, at the super Walmart or at the grocery store, at a theater, the mall? We are seeing active shootings taking place more and more. And I have my own thoughts on that, but let's worst case scenario, you find yourself in a place where you, there's an active shooter situation and you know that you need to get out of there. Or let's say you're already armed. You now have the ability to save lives as long as you also follow up with the responsibilities of that firearm, which means obviously knowing what safety standards are and protocols are knowing how to shoot shooting enough to get proficient. For example, you don't have to shoot a bullet with another bullet. Like I did from 20 yards, but you should be able to hit a man sized target from 10, 15 meters easily. And that's, that's about as much training as you really need. But then you have that confidence because of the training that you put in to be able to actually, uh, engage and save lives possibly. So now here's the thing with guns. We treat guns in America like it's a taboo item. And I tell my younger students, especially ones with kids all the time, I say, listen, if you treat guns like taboo, like a taboo thing, then naturally your kids are going to gravitate towards that because of the curiosity. That's when the, when the cats are away, the mice will play. That's how we have accidents over time. Women have gotten access or when kids have gotten access to weapons and then that's how accidents happen. Hence causing a bad reputation for guns in a household. But if you educate your kids from a young age and you don't make a taboo, then like a knife, let's take a kitchen knife. For example, we don't make kitchen knives taboo, but a kitchen knife is enough to kill somebody. You know, it could fall on your foot and impale your foot. It could slice your hand open. And we tell our kids, look, the kitchen stays in this drawer or stays in this little knife block and you're not allowed to use it because if you do, you're going to cut yourself. And we, and we don't keep it away from the children, but we say, look, it's in plain sight. You just don't have permission to use it. We have to take the same approach, um, with, with guns. Like when, when my kids were little and I used to break down my guns and clean them, I would let them play with it. And my ex-wife at the time, their mom would say, you know, like, can you not do that in front of the kids? I'm like, honey, if I keep this away from the kids, then it's going to, it's going to, their curiosity will build and build and build. And one day they're going to get access to it. And look at my wall. I have a whole wall of guns here and my kids are at a point now where I don't have to lock these away. When they were little, yes, I had to because, you know, you can't trust kids sometimes, but at the same times I never made a taboo. I let them play with the parts. They would pick up the metal parts, the springs, the optics. I let them get the lower receiver, pull the trigger a couple of times. And at that point they're like, oh man, this thing doesn't make cool noises. It doesn't have cool lights. I'm bored. I'm done with this thing. Yeah. Yeah. So actually very smart. I've never thought of that. And you can start with water guns. You know how we give kids or water guns and we do a battery powered nerf guns and this and that start the safety with that. Tell them, Hey, I know it's a toy gun, but don't point this at anybody unless you're playing a game. But otherwise don't go willy nilly pointing it at me and shooting people. And we can teach some of these protocols early on, but then at least we take the curiosity out of their system. And now it's no longer a taboo item. Now it's an item that my parents are telling me that this is a very serious tool. Just like if you pick up a saw or, or anything else that's powered and you can hurt yourself. But in the, if you're trained and in the right hands, this can be a very powerful tool that can save lives and defend yourself. And as your kids get older, then you adapt your language for gun safety and training eventually. And by the time your kids are like 10 and 11, my girls are 10 and 11. I mean, I trust my girls with the firearm around me all day, you know, cause I've taken them to the range since they were like five and six shooting. And so, and for adults, if you are an adult and you never shot a weapon, or if you're like, if you're scared of weapons, understand that I could pick up a nail gun and make it just as dangerous as I can make a real gun. I can, I can use mini nail gun accidents on construction sites. Exactly. I can take, I can take a hammer, I can take a knife and make it just as dangerous as a gun. Now one's not going to shoot a projectile, but I could kill you with it. And so the idea here is that guns are not guns, guns are tools. They can be used for bad or good, just like any other tool. And if you get the proper training, or if you decide to buy a saw, then hopefully you have done some education on that saw, or you take some time to practice in a safe environment. Same thing with a gun. If you want to buy a gun, I highly recommend it only for your personal defense, but also I know that once you shoot that gun once or twice, you're gonna be like, Oh man, this is cool. And now it's not so scary. And now I'm hitting targets. What? That's crazy. And eventually you're going to catch the bug. And so, you know, you might have a ton of guns like me one day, or you might just have one little pistol. They're like, that's all I need. Hey, more power to you. But I would say that to be scared of guns is like to be scared of any other tool. It's just a lack of ignorance, a lack of experience, and a lack of, you know, application, really. And so that's kind of my spiel on firearms and big picture to little picture. So lastly, there's this EDC craze, if people don't know what that is, it's everyday carry. It could be everything from your car keys in your wallet and your cell phone at the very minimum. But then other people, they'll carry like a flashlight, a pocket knife, concealed carry, open carry. What do you do? What's your EDC? And what would you recommend for the everyday average American for EDC? Every day carry items that I have with me. It's kind of weird because I'm a transient person, so I'm always on the go. So my EDC kind of changes depending on where I'm going or what I'm doing. But at the minimum, I always have a pistol on me with an extra magazine. Now that gives me a good 45 rounds because my mags are about 22, high capacity as some people want to call it. I would say that it's standard capacity. 17 to 22 rounds, two magazines. And that gun either stays on me depending on my clothing for the day or it goes into a little bag that is on my person. And then within that also, I carry at least one tourniquet. And I highly, highly recommend everybody carry one tourniquet, at least in your vehicle, if not in your person, ladies with the big bags, you can easily fit a tourniquet in your bag. And the tourniquet is important because man, when someone is bleeding out from one of their extremities, there is nothing that even comes close to what a tourniquet can do to stop the bleed. And it's such a small item that's super light and it's easy to carry. So I would tell you, and I tell people ideally, in your household, you want to have at least one tourniquet for every member of your family, in your truck or your car, you want to have one to two tourniquets. And if you can have one tourniquet on your person, then definitely do that because the chances of you having to use a tourniquet versus having to use a firearm are far more. And so you may have to render eight to somebody. And even if you don't know how to apply that tourniquet, somebody there will probably know. So a tourniquet, okay, emphasize that. So people don't understand the use of a tourniquet or what it is, just briefly explain that. So a tourniquet is, and there's different kinds, but I would highly recommend a North American Rescue branded tourniquet because they're authentic, they're not cheap eBay fake Chinese ones off Amazon. And a tourniquet is basically just a nylon that comes with some kind of tube that is able to, so you cinch on the nylon and then you twist the pipe, you know, it depends on what it is, but you twist that pipe and you create basically, you're creating a constricting kind of force that comes down, clamps down over the arm or over the leg. And if somebody gets stabbed and they're bleeding out, or if somebody gets shot and they're bleeding out, when you put that tourniquet on and you make it, you cinch it tight, and then you start turning that tube. What that does is it stops the blood flow to that extremity. And then it stops that person from bleeding out. And that's the biggest thing in combat or any kind of firefight is one always stop the bleeding first. So and that's very important, because a laceration to your artery in your arm or the inner part of your thighs, that it doesn't have to be even a stab wound or a gunshot wound. I mean, people fall off ladders and go through a window, get a laceration and all of a sudden they have an arterial bleed. And it only takes a couple of minutes to bleed out and you're gone, you're dead. So you have to stop that. I agree a thousand percent. I have, I don't know, a dozen tourniquets like in every part of my house, my truck, my wife's purse on my person, like, and then I also have a med kit as well, which came in and it has come in handy many times. One time me and my wife came out from shopping and this older gentleman was coming out from a bar which was next to the store. And he was really drunk, he fell down and he smashed his head on the curb. And he's just gushing out blood. And I had a trauma kit in the truck, so I was able to go and render first aid to him until the ambulance was able to arrive and take him to the hospital. But yeah, again, medical supplies, that's my biggest EDC item because you never know when you're going to need it. I would recommend like an actual med kit for your vehicle because then it has things like hemostatic gauze and hemostatic agents that will help you stop bleeding, pressure bandages, but at the minimum, a tourniquet. And I will tell you, I'll add this guys, that if you have children or let's say you have roommates or just other people that live in your house, please don't gatekeep anything that's medical, especially with your kids. Your kids, my five-year-old could easily put a tourniquet on my leg or my arm. Now, are they going to be able to twist and make it super tight? No, but I mean, they're going to at least get it started and maybe I can do the rest of it. But your kids can be... I just did this last week with my kids as a refresher. I said, I gave them all blue tourniquets, they're the training ones. And I was like, you got 30 seconds to apply this on your... And I have two boys and two girls, so it was very easy. I was like, you have 30 seconds to apply this. And I gave them a limb, I was like, left arm, and they go. And 30 seconds later, they're done. And I check and I sit there and I check for a pulse, I check for a radial pulse. And I'm like, did you get it tight enough? Is the bleeding actually going to stop? And we do this because again, your kids can be a liability or your kids could be an asset. It just depends on your outlook on their capabilities. But that's part of my EDC. Now, sometimes I have a blade on my body because it's very small, it's slimline, it doesn't print or anything. But it's like my last kind of go-to item, even if I can't get to my gun that's in a bag. You have to kind of establish, you kind of have to assess your pattern of life. And then this is a core principle that I teach is, what does your pattern of life look like? Mike, you have a pattern of life that I bet is very different from mine. I bet mine's very different from other people. Once you understand your pattern of life, like when you get up in the morning, where do you go? Where do you frequent? Okay, what are the dangers en route to these places? En route to your work? Where do you park? When you come home, where do you go? When you understand your pattern of life, then it kind of gives you an idea of what kind of EDC items should I have on a daily basis? People who drive in their car all the time. You may want to understand a little bit of VCQB, which is vehicle CQB and how to fight in and around your vehicle, kind of like what we saw in Minnesota with the lady getting shot. So once you understand your pattern of life, it'll help you understand what EDC items you need. And at that point, you'd have to make it a ritual because you just never know. And that's it. But your EDC always evolves, kind of like our kit on our gear and everything. It's always shifting and changing and new things are coming and going. I would recommend a flashlight. Your vehicle can carry a lot on your person, depends. Flashlight, blade, tourniquet, gun, extra magazine, mace, taser, you name it, brass knuckles. Yeah. Especially like you need to take into consideration your climate. If you're in the northern climate, you get really cold winters. I remember a long time ago, my mom was driving through Wyoming. She got caught in a blizzard. Her car went off the side of the road. She was stuck in her car for like three days. She was not prepared and she had some medical consequences because of that. I mean, she survived, but she was not prepared properly for that. So also take your environment into it. If you live in an extremely hot environment, make sure you have lots of water in your vehicle. And then I like in my truck, I have two EDC go bags, one for me and one for my wife, because that's usually the only people that's ever in the truck. Our kids are all grown, so they have their own stuff. But we have extra socks. We have heat blankets. We have extra food. We have energy packs. We have a MIFAC medical kit in there, a trauma kit, tourniquets. And it's all very small, very compact. It doesn't take up a lot. And we have extra jackets and extra blankets because we live in a cold climate during the winter. So I always have those in the truck. So yeah, I would say, again, I agree, just go with what your environment is and what your daily life routine is, whether or not you carry a firearm or you just carry a knife. Like, I mean, I always have a Milwaukee Fastback on me, which is just a little flip out box cutter because I use that thing probably 15 times a day. So it's kind of just go with whatever it is that you have in your life routine. So guys, I'm going to drop the intel on how you can get a hold of this man. Tell them where you're at, where they can come to your school and stuff, and then I'll put it in the description as well. Thank you. Well, so we're a mobile training team. I don't have a school facility, per se, but I do have a big network of different ranges and facilities that I use across the country. So because, and that just makes it easier for us. We travel a lot for our training. I have five or six instructors that are underneath me. I have another hundred people that I can kind of use as auxiliaries if I need to. And if you guys want training, I'm here in Texas. I'm in Houston, you know, we have some places here to go shoot, but I traveled all over Texas. So if you're on the west side, if you're on the north side, you know, let me know. We can always schedule something. We have a website that you can reach out to. You can go on my Instagram, @kawa_em_official and DM me that way. I'm very active there, obviously, with DMs and stuff. And we do online seminars as well. Like this whole thing we talked about EDC and kind of prepping your vehicle and maybe some gold bags for your house. We have a whole online seminar that's like three hours long on just about alone. And you have trainers all around you. I don't gate keep. I'd say that if you know, if you're in a different state, look up people, man, vet your instructors and see that they have a legitimate background, but then also, you know, take a class from them and don't like take it like gospel, but put it into your notebook, into your training bag. And then as you give more and more training, you'll see what is, you know, sensationalized versus what is legitimate. But for ourselves, yeah, DM me guys. I'm happy. I've set up open enrollment classes all over the country just because somebody DM me and they're like, Hey, I got like six, seven dudes. I want to train. I was like, cool. If you allow me, you have six, seven dudes. I'll use social media to fill the other six, seven slots and then we'll make it a nice class or we can do private training, but that's going to cost them. It's just going to cost more. So, but we do everything from basic firearms to tactics, CQB, VC, QB, we have medical classes, stop the bleed. In fact, our medical classes offer certification. So now you can get some kind of accreditation from our medical classes. All of our shooting classes come with certifications as well. Hopefully in the future here, we're going to stand a EMT school up because we want to take medical a little more serious and we know they're short-handed in that industry. So we're expanding big time. And we're, you know, hopefully I see one of you guys at the class, Mike, hopefully you and I can get together next time I'm in Utah and, you know, get on the range or at least, you know, get a meal together. That'd be great. But thank you for that. Yeah, absolutely. All right, guys, that's all we got for today. Thank you, Kawah, for being here, brother. We'll definitely have to jump on and do it again in the future. Guys, I'm going to put all of his socials on there. He has some really great content and it's not just shooting bullets with bullets. He does some really in-depth political news stuff as well. So go and check him out. Thanks for being a friend to the program and we'll see you soon. Thank you, Mike.
