00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:26.640
Good morning, and welcome to break Through Walls. I'm Ken
2
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:31.079
Walls and I'm your host, and today I am super
3
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:37.479
excited I have the one and only Colonel Rob Manus
4
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:41.960
on the show. This guy is well, he says he's
5
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.359
not a hero, but he's a hero in my book,
6
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:48.280
so I'm just gonna call him a hero. He's really
7
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:52.960
incredible guy. If you don't watch his show or listen
8
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.840
to his show, we're gonna be talking about that because
9
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.600
it's absolutely spectacular. So do me a favor if you
10
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.880
would and share this out with everybody that you know.
11
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:08.000
Let's get one hundred thousand people on here watching live
12
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:12.239
and stay with us. We'll be right back with the
13
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:46.159
one and only Colonel Rob Manus. You know, I started
14
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.959
thinking last night, how do I introduce this guy? I mean,
15
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:54.239
he was at the Pentagon on ninety eleven. I mean,
16
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:58.680
he's just done so many amazing things. And then I
17
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.959
found this little intro video that his team did and
18
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.439
I stole it. So I'm gonna share this little intro
19
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.840
video of him because it gives a really good rundown
20
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:13.680
of who Colonel Maynus is. So check this out. It's
21
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:15.840
pretty cool. And then we're gonna bring Colonel Maynis on.
22
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.840
Colonel Rob Manus says a lifelong record of providing dedicated
23
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.800
service to this nation. Having worked his way up from
24
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.199
the enlisted ranks to full colonel, he served our country
25
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.280
for more than thirty two years. He has served as
26
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:36.759
a bomber squadron commander, disposal technician, Joint chiefs of Staff
27
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:41.240
operations officer, assisted the National Security team with the campaign
28
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.360
plan for the Global War on Terrorism. He authored the
29
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.840
first theater nuclear war plan and served as the vice
30
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:52.919
commander of America's largest airborne intelligence winning Colonel Rob Manus
31
00:02:53.120 --> 00:03:03.520
is a true American hero. This is Rob Mainus Live.
32
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:08.360
Well, no it's not. It's actually Breakthrough Walls. But we
33
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:11.879
have Colonel Rob Mainus live with us. Let's bring him
34
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.520
on right now. Colonel, welcome to the show.
35
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.240
Hey can't thank you very much. My mother loves that
36
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:18.039
intro video.
37
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:24.800
I tell you, I'm with her. I love it. You're
38
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:27.479
so humble, though, You're like, I don't really like that
39
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.800
intro video. I love it. It's awesome.
40
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.120
I just don't talk about myself in heroic terms, and
41
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.840
most people in the military professionals are uncomfortable with that.
42
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:40.199
And we should be.
43
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.520
Humility is one of the rates that we value very highly.
44
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:45.599
Service.
45
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:50.240
It causes us problems outside of the military, especially if
46
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:52.280
you do something like get into politics, because you have
47
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.599
to learn how to do it right.
48
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.840
But you know one thing, I've never met a cocky
49
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:00.400
Air Force pilot ever.
50
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:05.919
Well, that's totally different than being a hero, though. I
51
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.280
am the best b one backseater that's ever walked the
52
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:08.919
face of the earth.
53
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:09.599
You know that, right?
54
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:14.000
I love that. I love that. What's the I've heard
55
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.639
the I've heard a joke about like, how do you
56
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:18.879
how do you know when an Air Force pilot's the
57
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.079
best or something? They'll tell you.
58
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.120
Oh, yeah, yeah, but it's the back seaters you got
59
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:24.720
to watch out for.
60
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:25.519
Uh.
61
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:30.000
You know, you know who the the the greatest ace
62
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.920
in the Vietnam War is? I do not a lot
63
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.120
of people say things like Robin Olds, who is who
64
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:38.160
is one of my heroes?
65
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:38.639
His book?
66
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.000
I had all of my officers read his book, Fighter Pilot.
67
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:43.279
My kids have read his book.
68
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:44.639
Uh.
69
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.480
People might say some of the names, but it's really
70
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.199
a guy named You're gonna love this name, Chuck de Bellevue.
71
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:52.439
Chuck de Bellevue.
72
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:56.639
He was a backseater in an F four, got more
73
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:01.439
kills than his pilot did, and more in the other
74
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.160
pilot the Air Force, and he was a weapon system's
75
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.800
officer like me. So there you have it. You got
76
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.720
to watch out for those navigator wings on.
77
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.240
Hey, I told you, that's what my brother in law did.
78
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.199
He wanted to be front seat, and I think you
79
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:21.240
had something to do with vision. I don't remember what
80
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:23.600
it was, but he ended up being a back seater
81
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:24.399
in the F four.
82
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:26.920
So my hands and feet are like rocks at the
83
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.040
end of my appendages. That's what's wrong with me. But
84
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.720
I have great eyesight though, and I learned that skill
85
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.439
pretty well to the point where I could command the
86
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:38.839
ninth Bomb Squadron, and the ninth Bomb Squadrons historically is
87
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.079
the oldest bomber squadron in the United States Air Force,
88
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.839
and believe mew and I was the first navigator to
89
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:49.639
command it as a B one backseater, So wow. I
90
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.199
don't normally talk about that, but it is. It does
91
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.120
prove what I said. I'm the best B one weapons
92
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.079
system officer and walking the face of the earth.
93
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.680
That's so awesome. So you know, I do like to
94
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.360
kind of you know, let the audience know.
95
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:06.360
Where.
96
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:09.160
I mean, You've got a pretty thick New York accent.
97
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:14.279
I'm kidding, no, Where did it all start for you?
98
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:15.639
Where were you born and raised?
99
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.519
You're not going to believe this, but I was born
100
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:23.480
in Tacoma, Washington, at McCord Air Force Base. It's called
101
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.879
I think it's called something like Joint based Fort Lewis
102
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:31.560
McCord now. The hospital is the Army hospital that's still
103
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:34.560
named Madigan General Hospital. My dad was stationed in Washington
104
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:38.560
state twice. So I have three brothers. My two older
105
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.360
brothers were both born and Spokane. I was born in
106
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.680
Tacoma and then he then they moved back to the
107
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.319
South where my mom and dad are from West Tennessee,
108
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.839
and he was stationed in Columbus, Mississippi twice. And on
109
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:55.759
the second time, my little brother was born in Columbus, Mississippi.
110
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:59.240
And I live in Goport, Mississippi now, and we traveled.
111
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.160
All over the world. That's a very nice place to live.
112
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:08.079
By the way, for anybody that's never been there, don't
113
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:10.720
make fun of Mississippi until you've been to golf Port.
114
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.000
I have a beach lot that the lot lines run
115
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.920
into the water, and I'm always posting pictures of my
116
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.160
front yard, which is the Gulf of America.
117
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:23.319
Wow, that's so awesome, man, so awesome. So, you know,
118
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:30.160
in between living in golf Port and being born in Spokane, Washington, which,
119
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.839
by the way, I've driven past that air for that
120
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.319
that army base many many, many times. I used to
121
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:39.120
live out there. I lived there for about a year
122
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:44.680
or so. I was in Spokane a lot. But you
123
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.279
did a lot of stuff. I mean, you have done
124
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.079
a lot of stuff. So growing up it sounds like
125
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.000
you were raised in a military family.
126
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:56.120
Yeah, raised in a military family, in a Southern family,
127
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.879
and I think that's important. You know, I've got a
128
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.839
book about to come out. It's titled What You Can
129
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:04.959
Do About It? Answers the question to the to any issue.
130
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.920
When you're thinking about it, the first question you go is, well,
131
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.680
what can I personally do about it? Why do we
132
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:14.000
ask that question as Americans? British people don't ask that question, Europeans,
133
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:17.319
Germans don't ask that question, but Americans do because we're
134
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:21.360
we see the individual as the pre eminent sovereign over
135
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:26.399
everything right under God, and they us are right. So
136
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:30.079
the reason why the southern. Thing is important is I
137
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.480
come from the same place where a guy named David
138
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:38.320
Crockett comes from. And I talk about this in my
139
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.559
book because when I was a little boy, my dad
140
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:42.799
would make sure he was in the Air Force, but
141
00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:45.240
he would make sure he drove us home twice a year,
142
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:47.919
once at Christmas and once in the summertime for two
143
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.720
weeks at a time. And his little brother, my uncle Buddy,
144
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:54.000
would take me around when I was a little boy
145
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:56.519
and take me under his wing. They didn't have kids,
146
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:00.559
him and his wife, my aunt Phyllis. But one of
147
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.879
the places that he took me once and I distinctly
148
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.960
remembered it because Davy Crockett's Disney I think it was
149
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.759
a Disney series or something, you know, King of the
150
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.000
Wild Frontier was on at the time. And my uncle
151
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.519
took me to the courthouse steps where they're from and
152
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.360
then said, Robbie, that's what they called me when I
153
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.320
was a kid growing up. But my mother still calls
154
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:22.240
me that. I do allow my wife Candy to call
155
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:25.480
me back, but nobody else is allowed to do. But
156
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:27.440
he said, Robbie, I just want you to know that
157
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:32.840
right here is where Colonel Crockett told his constituents after
158
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:36.000
they voted him out of Congress the second time, that
159
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:38.759
y'all can all go to Hell. I'm going to Texas
160
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:42.879
and the rest is history. And that's important to note
161
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:46.440
because of the characteristics and the trait that you can
162
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.799
expand on out from that statement at those courthouse steps.
163
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:53.159
Those are the kinds of people that raised me. My
164
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:56.159
dad has eleven brothers and sisters, my mom has twelve.
165
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:57.919
They're all from that part of the world.
166
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.000
Our military service on my AD's side goes all the
167
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.879
way back to the American Revolution in western North Carolina,
168
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:07.960
a little town called Robins, North Carolina, where William Maynis
169
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:13.840
Junior is buried private in the Continental Army, and we
170
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:17.240
were spread all you know, migration and everything out to
171
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:20.759
the west Tennessee was created. Actually it was part of
172
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.879
North Carolina originally. That's how we came to be where
173
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:27.720
we're at there in Madison County, Tennessee. Now most of
174
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:28.440
my family.
175
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:34.279
So did you know, like, did you know your whole
176
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:36.559
life that you were going to be in the military
177
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:40.879
or was it did you ever rebel against that idea
178
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:41.759
as a kid.
179
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.200
The short answer to that question is, I don't know
180
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:49.159
if my whole life. But one of my earliest memories
181
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:51.440
is my dad giving me a full sized g I
182
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:55.159
Joe when I had to go into a hospital when
183
00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:58.000
I was four to get a hernia operation fixed.
184
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:00.759
Ernia fixed as little toddler.
185
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.840
So maybe my first I knew I wanted to fly
186
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:09.000
from the time I was about five or six. When
187
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.639
I was five or six, my dad was working in
188
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:16.840
what's called Black Programs SR seventy one YouTube programs back
189
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:19.799
in the day when they were really being operated by
190
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:25.240
a non military organization with three letters, and they had
191
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:30.399
this private display of aircraft and I remember him distinctly
192
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.000
the cockpit of the SR seventy one. It was the
193
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:38.120
first cockpit I ever touched, because he held me up
194
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:41.639
there to look inside of it. That canopy was opened
195
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:47.559
at this private display for families of folks that were missions,
196
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:50.799
And from that point on, I knew I wanted to
197
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:53.639
fly faster than the speed of sound, and I knew
198
00:11:53.679 --> 00:12:00.000
I wanted to fly aircraft that contributed something to the country.
199
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:07.080
Wow. So okay, So I've actually experienced being on the
200
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:12.320
ground and witnessing the sound barrier, barrier being broken. It's
201
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:17.759
it's it's really something to experience. But did you did
202
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.200
you get to fly faster than the speed of sound?
203
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:25.080
Yes, several times, multiple times. The largest aircraft that I
204
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:27.399
flew faster than the speed of sound in is B
205
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:30.759
one bomber, the Bone as we call it those of
206
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:33.600
us that fly it. And that's a four hundred thousand
207
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.480
pound class aircraft, so a DC ten for civilians out
208
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.519
there that want to compare it to something, and getting
209
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:46.279
that much weight going that fast is pretty incredible.
210
00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:50.480
How I didn't know that it would break the sound barrier.
211
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.480
It's a speed limit. Is a one point two mock.
212
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:57.799
The original B one, the B one A, was much faster.
213
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:03.000
But when in a Reagan resurrected it from the Jimmy
214
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:06.639
Carter cut, when we added about forty five thousand pounds
215
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:09.840
to it and made it a low altitude penetrating bomber
216
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:14.159
to get into Soviet missile defense system's low altitude put
217
00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:17.679
about forty thousand pounds ish worth of new equipment on
218
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:19.279
it that enabled it to do.
219
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:21.399
Wow.
220
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:22.679
It's pretty incredible. Though.
221
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:25.600
It's got a system it's called Sensor Integrated Test, and
222
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:29.279
it's got sensors all over the aircraft load hexadecimal codes
223
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:31.279
and then the guys in the back seats. That's one
224
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.039
of the things we operate. It comes out of the
225
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:36.240
Space Shuttle. Actually, that system does. There's a lot of
226
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:39.799
common parts with the Space Shuttle because Rockwell was the
227
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:46.080
original of the of the aircraft and the system. So
228
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.159
you've got these sensors, speed sensors all over the aircraft.
229
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:53.600
You can actually watch the aircraft go supersonic as it
230
00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:56.200
goes through the shockwave because it's so big, so different
231
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:59.440
parts of the airplane goes supersonic at different points as
232
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:01.960
you transit through the sound area.
233
00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:03.799
It's pretty incredible if you're.
234
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.200
A geek and you like flying fast and killing America's
235
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:09.080
enemies with a pretty effective weapon.
236
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.759
What Yeah, I love that. You're so non to a
237
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:18.000
lot about it. I love that. But what's it like
238
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.799
inside the aircraft? Is it? I mean, it's got a
239
00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:25.200
is there? Is there? Do you experience anything? Or is
240
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:27.320
it just like, oh, I think we just broke the
241
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:28.080
down barrier.
242
00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:33.159
It's actually pretty going through the sound barrier these days,
243
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:36.320
and that aircraft is pretty anti climactic. I mean, you
244
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:39.759
know that you've sped up if you've been cruising around
245
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.000
and you decided, hey, we're we're high enough and we've
246
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:45.879
got the right conditions, we're gonna go supersonic. And you
247
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.440
sweep the wings on that aircraft. It's got sweeping wings
248
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:48.720
on it.
249
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:51.840
Uh and uh uh and you and.
250
00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:54.159
You push the power up from a regular crew speed.
251
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:57.559
You know you're going fast, but actually moving through the
252
00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:04.399
barrier or first time is pretty nonchalant, uh, an anticlimactic.
253
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:07.960
It's the slowing down part uh that really gets your
254
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:11.919
attention because you get thrown forward in the straps. Said,
255
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:15.919
it's a very very evident that you've been going really
256
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.759
fast and now you've got this big monster uh that's
257
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:20.200
slowing down and throwing you.
258
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:24.519
For Oh my gosh, that's that sounds insane at least.
259
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:32.159
So you but you started as a I mean in
260
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:36.360
a very unconventional way. I think most people that get
261
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:42.279
to the ranks that you you achieved as colonel don't
262
00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:48.399
probably start as enlisted. You know. I know, my nephew,
263
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:51.039
for example, my brother in law, they went I think
264
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:55.519
they started as second lieutenant or something because they were
265
00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:58.679
in their degree or what. I don't know what the
266
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.240
I'm sure you know what the rules are for that.
267
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:05.480
But yeah, so talk about that. You went in as
268
00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:11.519
an enlisted soldier in the in the in the Air Force,
269
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:12.720
not as an officer.
270
00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:15.840
Yeah, we call them airman in the Air Force. Airman,
271
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.080
but I appreciate that. Yeah, Yeah, it's a it's an
272
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.840
interesting story. You know. It gets back to the whole question, Well,
273
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:25.600
what can I do about it? I wanted to fly
274
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:31.679
fast airplanes. Actually wanted to be a Thunderbird pilot. And wow,
275
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:33.960
my dad was in the Air Force, so I'd known
276
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:36.000
all this time that I wanted to be in. So
277
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:40.080
I actually enlisted three days after I turned seventeen, in
278
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:43.759
nineteen November nineteen seventy eight. November eighteenth, nineteen seventy eight.
279
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:44.639
Wow.
280
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:47.960
So I started young, which means I got to the
281
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:49.000
other end at thirty two and.
282
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:49.480
A half years.
283
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:53.200
I was still fairly young and everything, but the enlisted
284
00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:58.279
ranks was where my dad was from, you know, and
285
00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:00.279
we really didn't have money to go to college. I
286
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:04.680
didn't qualify for any scholarships. Just a average student. Man,
287
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:07.079
I'm ever going to be brilliant. Although I have some
288
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:09.599
great degrees from some great schools. They let me sneak
289
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:11.839
into Harvard and the Navy War College and.
290
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:12.519
That kind of stuff.
291
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:19.119
Uh, and I was able to nobody all my way
292
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.519
through it and passed enough to get a degree in
293
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:25.960
both those institutions. But you know, my high school counselor,
294
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:28.480
I'll just tell you the story real quick. My high
295
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:33.079
school counselor told me that I wasn't college material.
296
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:33.920
Uh.
297
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:37.079
When I went to her and I said, hey, I
298
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:40.440
want to compete for an ROTC scholarship or go to
299
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:43.440
the Air Force Academy, and I had I had no idea.
300
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:45.880
You know, my mom and dad were high school dropouts,
301
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:48.519
so I had I had had no idea. Wasn't raised
302
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:51.440
with all the information you have to know that all
303
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:53.359
the prep it takes to get an appointment to the
304
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:55.799
Air Force Academy or be ready to go to college
305
00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:57.759
and those kinds of things. So I just kind of
306
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:00.039
wandered my way through high school and took what I
307
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:02.480
wanted to. I made some a's and b's. I think
308
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:04.519
I got one C. But I was I was okay,
309
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:06.839
it was average, slightly above average and everything. But she
310
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:08.759
looked at me and she said, you're not qualified.
311
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:10.359
Said I said, what.
312
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:14.359
She goes, Yeah, you you'd probably be better off going to uh,
313
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:15.960
you know, go to a gas station to learn how
314
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:18.480
to be a mechanic as or something like that.
315
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:23.039
Uh. And uh, well, uh that that drove that question.
316
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:24.680
I'll take you back to the title of my book
317
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:27.119
that's about to come out here, hopefully in a month
318
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:29.279
or so. We're waiting on the Pentagon to review it
319
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:31.119
because they have to review of the manuscript.
320
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:34.039
Uh due to my security They have to review it.
321
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:36.599
Yeah, due to my security clearance. And there's stories from
322
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:38.480
my military service center. We had to run it through
323
00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:40.160
uh and everything.
324
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:43.079
But uh, it's titled what you Can Do About It?
325
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:46.640
But but she drove me to ask that question again, Well,
326
00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:47.720
what can I do about it?
327
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:48.440
Uh?
328
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:51.000
Well, so what I did about it was I I
329
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:54.279
enlisted in the Air Force three days after I turned seventeen.
330
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:56.920
I had to get my mother's permission, uh to do it.
331
00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:57.640
Uh.
332
00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:02.519
And I set up goal to first get an associates degree,
333
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:06.039
which turned out to be an associates degree in mathematics,
334
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:09.640
and I was awarded that degree at the same time
335
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:12.440
that I was awarded a Bassador's of Science degree both
336
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:15.440
from the University of Tampa and Management Information Systems, which
337
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.319
was one of the first MIS programs in the country.
338
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:23.319
You know, you learn computer systems analysis, design programming, old
339
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:28.319
school programming like COBAL and ORTRAN and machine language and
340
00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:30.880
that kind of stuff. And somehow I was able to
341
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.640
even graduate with some mild honors from that. So I
342
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:36.359
proved her wrong within.
343
00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:36.759
A few years.
344
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:40.160
I love that and I had to get that to
345
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:42.400
become an officer, to achieve the goal of wanting to
346
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:44.839
fly fast airplanes. And that was the whole reason why
347
00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:49.279
I enlisted. But along the way, I got the opportunity
348
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:53.759
to do a job that I still I get emotional
349
00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:57.240
when I think about it, because it's still the best
350
00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:05.079
job I've ever had. It's called Explosive Ordinance disposal. Being seventeen,
351
00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:07.720
they signed me up in a job. You know how
352
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:09.720
you can get a guaranteed job when you sign up
353
00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:11.200
in the Air Force. I was going to be a
354
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:17.480
missile maintenance technician in Mine, not North Dakota. Think about that.
355
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:20.240
That's what That's what you wanted as your guaranteed jobs.
356
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:24.200
Well, that's all that's what they offered me. They offered
357
00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:27.200
me like five jobs, and this job EOD. You couldn't
358
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:30.960
enlist as that at the time. And in basic training
359
00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:33.200
boot camp, if you can call it that, in the
360
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:35.720
Air Force, in those days. We called it six weeks
361
00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:38.680
of shaking bake airman making because it was so weak.
362
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:42.680
And about a.
363
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:46.559
Week into it, they take everybody into a room and
364
00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:47.759
show you a couple of films.
365
00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:49.559
One is Pair of Rescue.
366
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:53.319
And the other one's Explosive Ordinance Disposal and and Para Rescue.
367
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:55.279
You have to be a really strong swimmer. I was
368
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:58.799
a lot like slightly below average as a swimmer, even
369
00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:00.720
though I liked doing it. I was not a very
370
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:04.440
strong swimmer at the time. So I was like, hmm,
371
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:11.880
missile maintenance technician in North Dakota or bomb squad and say,
372
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:14.720
I'm seventeen years old. I think the bomb squad would
373
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:17.079
be a hoot, you know, Oh my god.
374
00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:18.839
And so off.
375
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:21.680
I went to the Navy's EOD School of the Army's
376
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:26.799
U S Army Chemical School and was led by a
377
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.240
Marine Corps prior listed lieutenant who had been an artillery
378
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:35.319
in Coo in Vietnam and his sergeant, Lieutenant Benjamin Obell
379
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:41.200
and Sergeant Garcia. They were a class leaders. The Air
380
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:43.559
Force got they were Marines, a little Air Force rob
381
00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:45.119
manis we.
382
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:47.839
Got buster in here? Talking marine crap?
383
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:52.519
I love? Butser had any crayons this morning.
384
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:57.640
Brother. Uh so, so people think I'm a marine sometimes,
385
00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:00.079
and I don't know why. I think it's because of
386
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:02.720
the way I sometimes I talk and present myself. Because
387
00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:06.039
their impact on seventeen year old Rob Manus they had
388
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:10.160
me for a year after Air Force basic screening must
389
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:12.599
have made an impact on the way I behave, talk,
390
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:17.640
present myself and those kind of things. But EOD School
391
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:21.839
was still it's the best thing that ever happened to me.
392
00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:26.759
I just fell into it and volunteered. And I still
393
00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:30.279
if you look at my xbio, you see that it's
394
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:34.119
there because you know, some of my old bosses are
395
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:38.079
still alive in spite of the hard party that they did.
396
00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:42.960
Let me ask you, and I stay in touch.
397
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:45.920
With them with a lot. So, I mean, it's amazing.
398
00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:48.759
As I left that job in nineteen eighty five.
399
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:54.720
I'm curious why. And I'm not trying to evoke emotion,
400
00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:58.000
I promise I'm not. I'm just curious what it was
401
00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:01.839
about that job that evoked that emotion when you when
402
00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:04.680
you started talking about it. What what was it that
403
00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:06.839
was so special to you? Or is that private?
404
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:09.000
No, there, it's not.
405
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:14.559
I'll talk you to through my first response in EO D.
406
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:18.039
It was I was stationed permanently at Myrtle Beach Air
407
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:22.480
Force Base in South Carolina. I was eighteen by the
408
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:25.720
time I graduated from school and got my badge. We
409
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:28.240
call it the crab. It looks like a crab, and
410
00:23:28.359 --> 00:23:31.799
the school was in Charles County, Maryland, Indian Maryland, so
411
00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:34.319
it's a nicknamed the Charles County Crab, the one I wear.
412
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:36.640
They moved the school down to Egland because you know
413
00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:39.160
the people they graduate nowadays, they just couldn't handle the
414
00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:41.799
tough weather up in Maryland. I guess I don't know,
415
00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:46.480
but anyway, friendly rivalry, friendly.
416
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:49.960
Rivalry, folks. You know, I love you guys cows.
417
00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:55.880
But anyway, my first response, I got mission ready about
418
00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:59.880
three months, two months after I got there, and I'm
419
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:05.200
on call my first weekend, and the very first response is, Hey,
420
00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:07.680
we've got a jolly green helicopter waiting for you on
421
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:11.400
the ramp. You need to go down, and there's a
422
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:14.000
sea mine that's been washed up on the shore. Uh,
423
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:16.880
and we've been assigned responsibility to go safe it, get
424
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:20.799
it transported and all that. Well, here's the kicker. Air
425
00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:24.680
Force kids and men and women there were the first
426
00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:27.319
women in the field were in my class.
427
00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:29.240
We were not taught.
428
00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:31.720
Air Force kids were not taught anything but what we
429
00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:34.519
would call a shake and bake version of Navy ordnance,
430
00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:38.839
and the common theme from the Navy instructors was don't worry,
431
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:39.880
You're never going to.
432
00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:42.319
See this stuff. It's all out in the water.
433
00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:46.000
And the very first call that eighteen year old Rob
434
00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:48.720
Menus gets on his own is to go hop on
435
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:51.720
this jolly green fly down the beach to just north
436
00:24:51.759 --> 00:25:00.119
of Charleston, South Carolina, and safe the sea. Mine did
437
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:07.880
it transport? Think about that as an individual responsibility at
438
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:11.640
eighteen years old. There is no other field in the
439
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:16.759
United States Air Force in peacetime, especially where you are
440
00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:20.680
entrusted with things like that. And the men and women
441
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:22.839
that brought that essentially raised me.
442
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:25.240
My second Daddy's that I.
443
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:28.400
Didn't have any women's supervisors in that field, but my
444
00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:34.319
second father's Jim Palace, is one, my first senior and CEO.
445
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:37.359
He was from Asheville, North Carolina. He was the boss
446
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:40.839
at Myrtle Beach and Junior Lad was my last boss.
447
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:46.759
Master started senior Master and Junior lad out in Tampa
448
00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:50.319
Air Force based Florida and he's from western North Carolina,
449
00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:54.440
the Smoky Mountain Appalachians and everything, and he might like
450
00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:58.279
fast cars that might be able to carry whiskey illegal whiskey.
451
00:25:58.319 --> 00:25:58.759
I don't know.
452
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:04.640
Both those guys were fantastic as my surrogate dad's in
453
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:07.480
that field, and they bracketed my experience in the field
454
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:11.039
in the Air Force and all along the way. I
455
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:15.240
met these men at every assignment. I had three assignments
456
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:18.279
in the U D that were just phenomenal people and
457
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:23.319
they and they trusted this kid because I had demonstrated,
458
00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:27.960
you know, my my professionalism and my abilities in the
459
00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:30.559
field when you know, I almost failed out of you
460
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:31.160
at these school.
461
00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:31.960
Wow.
462
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:34.200
If it hadn't been for the Marines who sent me
463
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:37.680
to a Marine warrant officer as a black guy named
464
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:41.279
Gunner way had been in Vietnam and everything that took
465
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:43.240
me aside and worked with me for a full day,
466
00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:46.640
I would never have worn the you you know. Uh,
467
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:50.759
So I'm very grateful to that and uh was honored
468
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:53.799
to get the opportunity to serve in that field. If
469
00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:56.200
you go watch the movie The hurt Locker, we were
470
00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:58.640
predicting that kind of war, like what you see in
471
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:02.160
that movie was going to happened, and we were preparing
472
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:04.440
folks for that when I left the field to go
473
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:07.079
be an officer and watch one.
474
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:14.759
So that's incredible. So so somebody, somebody whipped you into shape.
475
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:20.799
Oh my dad was a master sergeant, so you can imagine.
476
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:22.400
Oh my god, he.
477
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:25.119
Just refined me to where now some people think I'm
478
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:26.440
a marine and I have to tell him to go
479
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:26.920
eat some.
480
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:32.640
Carryons like like Buck. He said he's had some red
481
00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:37.920
ones today, so so I love Buck. He's freaking awesome.
482
00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:42.440
And by the way, Shell's watching commenting as well. Shell,
483
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:45.079
thank you. I wouldn't even know you had it not
484
00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:50.319
been for for Shell hosting your or hosting producing. I
485
00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:53.480
don't know what she but her official title is but
486
00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:57.759
with your space every day and and and everybody needs
487
00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:02.079
to go listen and watch you on your show. And
488
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:04.880
it's just it's called the Colonel rob mana Show, right.
489
00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:07.319
Yeah, just the rob mana Show. We don't use the
490
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:11.400
rank in it. But okay, when I ran for US
491
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:14.799
Sentate in twenty thirteen twenty fourteen, we branded me is
492
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:17.920
Colonel robminus retired. So all my social media still says
493
00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:20.240
that I don't think I would have done that had
494
00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:22.799
I just set it up on my own, but since
495
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:24.759
the branding is there, we keep it that way. And
496
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:28.359
of course then the guys did that great trophy so.
497
00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:32.720
Well, you got you got to see it from a
498
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:36.000
civilian's point of view. I mean, I I you know,
499
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:39.920
like I said, one of my only regrets in life
500
00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:43.240
is I had the opportunity to go into the army
501
00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:45.640
with my best friend. We were going in on what
502
00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:50.559
they called the buddy system, and I bailed at the
503
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:55.359
last minute and he went and he was so pissed.
504
00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:58.799
I think he still hates me to his day. But
505
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:02.279
you know, it's one of my only regrets. But from
506
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:07.640
a civilian standpoint, at least from my standpoint as a civilian,
507
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.119
I think it's one of the most incredible Like I
508
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:16.599
honor our military like it's it's to me, it's one
509
00:29:16.640 --> 00:29:18.839
of the most important things you could ever do with
510
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:22.240
your life, and and so I respect the heck out
511
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:25.119
of out of you and anybody that's done what you've done,
512
00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:30.240
especially climbing the ranks. That the way that you did
513
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:34.519
is I mean, I don't know what the percentage is,
514
00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:37.079
but I would say it's probably fairly rare.
515
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:41.920
I think it is, yeah, fairly rare. I don't know
516
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:44.319
if I would have made general. I had to retire
517
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:48.400
pretty quickly because my wife got diagnosed with breast cancer
518
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:50.599
and we needed to get it taken care of. Not
519
00:29:50.759 --> 00:29:53.119
already thirty two years and I was coming up on
520
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:58.200
my primary board. But very few make a colonel and
521
00:29:58.240 --> 00:30:00.400
get to be commanders, because that's a it's a whole
522
00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:05.200
other screening system. Making colonel as a screening system, and
523
00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:08.160
then and then getting to be a wing commander is
524
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:09.319
another screening system.
525
00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:10.880
Very few get the opportunity to do that.
526
00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:14.359
There's there's and for every general that's promoted, every person
527
00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:17.039
in X general, they're they're told, hey, there's ten more
528
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:20.640
people just as qualified as you whose name didn't come
529
00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:24.720
out of that hopper, you know, in the lottery. So
530
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:28.000
you know, it was an honor to get the chance
531
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:33.000
to do that. I mean, things just keep keep happening,
532
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:35.039
you know. Just last week, on the Air Force's birthday
533
00:30:35.079 --> 00:30:38.400
on September eighteenth, I was honored to get the opportunity
534
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:40.920
to lay a wreath at the Tube of the Unknowns
535
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:44.279
as a retired person, and I was thinking about my
536
00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:49.279
dad when I was doing that because he would have
537
00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:52.039
thought that was pretty awesome, pretty cool, you know. But
538
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:53.960
it was an honor to get to do that. That
539
00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:58.000
may be the last actually official, you know, semi military
540
00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:00.559
function I ever get to do. And that was the
541
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:01.920
honor of my life to do that.
542
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:02.880
Uh.
543
00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:06.480
And it's a it's a privilege to get the opportunity
544
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:10.000
to serve with young Americans both as a peer as
545
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:13.039
an enlisted kid. Uh, and then and then get the
546
00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:15.759
opportunity to lead them, and then and then on top
547
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:19.960
of that, the responsibility to lead them in combat is uh.
548
00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:26.119
It's an overwhelming uh feeling uh and humbling uh and uh.
549
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:29.119
Book were all human beings. We make mistakes. I talk
550
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:31.160
about a few of those in the book, especially on
551
00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:35.960
the military side. UH and uh and we should so
552
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:38.240
that we can learn from those people can learn from them.
553
00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:38.880
UH.
554
00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:42.720
But watching these young men and women uh sacrifice for
555
00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:46.599
America UH and being responsible for helping keep them alive
556
00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:49.720
and getting them back home to loved ones, those kind
557
00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:52.839
of things, it's just the greatest honor that I will
558
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:56.200
ever have achieved. I think, I don't think anything and
559
00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:58.559
will ever top toe.
560
00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:02.799
That's that's incredible. I think about you know the name
561
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:06.759
of this show's Breakthrough Walls. And I started this seven
562
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:10.079
years ago because I was stuck and I thought, you know,
563
00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:15.079
I'll bet you if I interview enough celebrities and successful people,
564
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:20.119
I'll figure my own crap out and get understand it worked,
565
00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:24.240
you know. But I would love to hear your take
566
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:29.079
on because I sent my wife your your I think
567
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:31.599
it was your most well, not your most recent. Twelve
568
00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:35.759
thirteen days ago. You did a show right after the
569
00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:39.839
assassination of Charlie Kirk, and it was called The War
570
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:43.640
has Come to Us, I believe was the title of
571
00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:45.920
that show. And she goes, do you have anything that
572
00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:48.359
doesn't have to do with war coming to us that
573
00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:53.880
you could send me? And she's watching, by the way,
574
00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:57.519
she's probably gonna start cussing at me. But but you know,
575
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:02.640
I would love to hear your take on what you
576
00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:08.000
think is happening in our not just our country, although
577
00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:13.359
it is really I mean Charlie Kirk, it's a whole
578
00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:16.960
other topic. But what do you think is going on?
579
00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:22.480
What is from a leadership colonel position, if you were
580
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:27.400
to look at your what's happening? Why is everything going
581
00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:28.920
so a miss?
582
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:33.839
Well for your wife ma'am. My Monday shows are themed
583
00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:36.880
more War Monday, and we started doing that when I
584
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:40.759
started doing the Daily Show because there was so much
585
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:43.599
war going on. It was before President Trump got back
586
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:47.359
in office that we started doing this thing daily, and
587
00:33:48.599 --> 00:33:50.920
I just wanted to get facts and truth out because
588
00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:55.960
there's so much propaganda about the various conflicts that are
589
00:33:55.960 --> 00:33:58.720
going on, a lot of it from our side. Unfortunate
590
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:03.119
that muddies the waters. So that's why I do that.
591
00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:06.279
But the reason why that particular show was named that
592
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:07.960
is I've been talking about it for some time and
593
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:09.519
so have a lot of my peers that are not
594
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:12.519
in active service right now that have the experience that
595
00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:19.280
are watching and making observations with open source intelligence information that,
596
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:23.079
especially during the Biden years, there has been a mass
597
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:27.000
infiltration of the United States of America by Chinese communists
598
00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:31.800
over one hundred thousand by some estimates and those are conservative,
599
00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:37.559
that are here illegally over seventy thousand just Afghanis that
600
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:41.559
were unvetted refugees from Afghanistan. And if you don't think
601
00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:45.239
Afghanis that were wearing the uniforms of the good guys
602
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:48.280
kill Americans, go back and see how many, but we
603
00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:51.360
lost a two star general due to an Afghani soldier
604
00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:56.000
that we had just trained. So if they're unvetted, I
605
00:34:56.039 --> 00:35:00.199
mean just those two populations are Communists and islam Us
606
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:03.039
have been longest in them. And there's this thing called
607
00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:07.719
the Red Green Alliance. And I believe that Charlie's assassination,
608
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:12.360
the assassination of President Trump, the attempts, both attempts, those
609
00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:15.480
are all operations. They have all the earmarks of an operation,
610
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:18.920
not necessarily of the shooter themselves, who have some ear
611
00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:23.639
marks of some training and everything, but well resourced, well planned,
612
00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:28.960
the surveillance required, the site assessment required, the you know,
613
00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:36.440
the assassination spot, where to shoot from, selecting that position.
614
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:40.239
All of that is part of good planning. And then
615
00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:43.239
the resourcing of these people, you know, four or five
616
00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:46.480
cell phones encrypted, those kind of things.
617
00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:48.800
The weapons.
618
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:52.079
I mean, the kid that Butler Crooks, he had a
619
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:58.000
laser rangefinder. You know that he's walking around getting ranges
620
00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:01.039
on as he's walking around the facility. So these are
621
00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:04.599
not things that your average eighteen nineteen, twenty twenty one,
622
00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:09.000
twenty two. Even this guy down in Florida who is older,
623
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:12.880
but he's a Zealot, even that guy. Those are not
624
00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:16.840
the average things that you would be thinking about.
625
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:18.559
I mean, just look at the Florida one.
626
00:36:18.599 --> 00:36:23.000
He had kevlar vest hanging out on the fence around
627
00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:28.000
his sniper position that he was looking through and shooting through,
628
00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:31.199
and those kind of things. So all of those things
629
00:36:31.199 --> 00:36:35.400
have earmarks of good planning and resourcing well beyond just
630
00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:38.760
the individuals that pulled the trigger. And I believe that
631
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:44.159
there are some foreign influence that's aid and embedding these
632
00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:50.400
types of operations, and it's likely some conglomeration of Communist
633
00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:55.239
Chinese and Islamist resourcing and planning of some sort and
634
00:36:55.280 --> 00:37:00.519
training of some sort that identify these individuals early, especially
635
00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:04.800
the smart kids like this last guy, Tyler Robinson, build
636
00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:09.239
them up, get them convinced through all the indoctrination that's
637
00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:12.719
coming through not just them, but that's being pushed into
638
00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:19.519
our systems by their program. The Communists are exemplary at
639
00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:22.079
doing that, and the Islamist are to just look at
640
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:25.360
how many people they've gotten convinced that the people to
641
00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:29.519
support Hamas, which are worse than the German Nazis, they
642
00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:33.039
are worse than the German Nazis, and tens of thousands
643
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:36.400
of American kids are supporting them, and adults too, So
644
00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:40.719
the propaganda and indoctrination forces that doesn't just come about
645
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:44.159
through social media as a natural thing.
646
00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:46.079
Those aren't natural things.
647
00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:50.239
So anyway, I did that show because I believe that
648
00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:55.719
Charlie's death has some earmarks of an operation, and that
649
00:37:55.800 --> 00:37:59.039
there's likely some foreign influence over it, and that foreign
650
00:37:59.079 --> 00:38:01.880
influence is probably aided and embedded by the individuals that
651
00:38:01.920 --> 00:38:05.599
are already here in the country because of the open
652
00:38:05.639 --> 00:38:09.480
borders especially, but may have been here all along. And
653
00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:13.480
that's why this happens. And that's what I mean, the
654
00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:16.880
war has come to us. Look, the National counter Terrorism
655
00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:21.239
Center director Joe Kent, who I know and I've interviewed
656
00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:24.719
on my show a couple of times, I think when
657
00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:27.599
he was running for Congress. He put out a statement
658
00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:30.159
just the other day saying that al Qaeda is here
659
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:35.760
inside the United States. They are planning a massive operation essentially,
660
00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:40.239
and those of us on the outside, especially Sarah Adams,
661
00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:44.519
the targeter that you've heard about from the Benghazi event,
662
00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:47.639
and you see her being interviewed by Sean Ryan and
663
00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:48.440
those kind of things.
664
00:38:48.480 --> 00:38:50.440
She has been on that.
665
00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:55.280
And has been right all along, and we let things
666
00:38:55.320 --> 00:38:59.519
slide through the cracks, like the individual the sergeant in
667
00:38:59.559 --> 00:39:03.719
New Orleans on New Year's Eve he was We let
668
00:39:03.719 --> 00:39:06.239
that lone wolf tag get put on there by law
669
00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:08.960
enforcement of some sort, and there's no way that has
670
00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:13.079
the earmarks of an operation too. The guy, the Green
671
00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:16.239
Brave Master Sergeant that killed himself in the cyber truck
672
00:39:16.239 --> 00:39:19.440
at Trump Tower out in Vegas all ear marks. We
673
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:23.039
don't know enough about those events or what happened with
674
00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:26.440
those individuals and why they may have done those things,
675
00:39:26.559 --> 00:39:28.039
or who they got involved with.
676
00:39:28.119 --> 00:39:31.559
We don't know. We don't know, and we should know.
677
00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:34.440
And that's why I did that show, is because we
678
00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:39.079
need absolute transparency to the maximum extent possible so that
679
00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:42.679
we can put confidence in ourselves back in our institutions,
680
00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:46.199
which have been just absolutely degraded over the last ten years.
681
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:51.119
My wife is her comments on screen, I hope they
682
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:55.400
root out these infiltrators. It's terrifying, I think, you know,
683
00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:58.440
I look at this and I go because the average
684
00:39:58.960 --> 00:40:01.960
you know, I see all the these these g I
685
00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:06.360
Joe wannabes on on social media and Buck and Buck
686
00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:09.079
and I are really good friends. We've had many conversations
687
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:14.800
about this, like you take the average civilian and you say, Okay,
688
00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:18.920
here's an here's here's a here's a take this ar
689
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:21.719
out there and and and good luck. I mean, they're
690
00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:24.440
not gonna know what to do. And they're not they're
691
00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:28.320
not trained the way that you are and and other
692
00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:33.559
military personnel. But what can we do? And I I
693
00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:37.039
saw your posts in fact, I shared it that you
694
00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:41.239
know said stay armed America, I think, and you were
695
00:40:41.320 --> 00:40:45.079
you were sharing what you were just talking about? What
696
00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:52.719
can the average citizen do? Two? I mean, yes, I understand,
697
00:40:52.840 --> 00:40:56.199
stay armed, go to the range, do all the things,
698
00:40:56.280 --> 00:40:59.800
but that's not the average US citizen.
699
00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:04.039
Well, it needs to become once again the average US citizen.
700
00:41:05.280 --> 00:41:05.519
Kid.
701
00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:11.760
That's that's my point. My viewers know that Colonel retired
702
00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:16.280
Kurt Slickter and I are friends and we use those
703
00:41:16.760 --> 00:41:19.440
type of phrasing all along. And believe me, we don't
704
00:41:19.480 --> 00:41:22.440
want a shooting civil war. Nobody that's had to do
705
00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:25.480
this stuff in real life that I talked to once
706
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:28.559
anything like that. It's all the you know, the g
707
00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:33.880
I Joe wannabes on both sides that and to talk
708
00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:36.159
that way, and we're always trying to talk them down
709
00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:38.000
and go, hey, you don't want to go there. But
710
00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:41.480
here's what I do tell people. We you are an American,
711
00:41:41.880 --> 00:41:45.280
if you're an adult, especially, you have a responsibility to
712
00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:49.880
your to your community, your family. It's written in the Constitution,
713
00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:53.639
in the Second Amendment. By the way, Okay, a well
714
00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:58.079
regulated militia. They're not talking about some organized uniform thing.
715
00:41:58.280 --> 00:42:00.880
They're talking about the people that picked up their rifles
716
00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:04.280
on April nineteenth, seventeen seventy five that we just celebrated
717
00:42:04.280 --> 00:42:07.000
two hundred and fifty years ago. One of those people
718
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:09.039
was like eighty eight years old. I want to be
719
00:42:09.159 --> 00:42:11.480
that man. I can't remember. I can never remember his
720
00:42:11.599 --> 00:42:13.039
name off the top of my head. I don't know why.
721
00:42:13.039 --> 00:42:16.559
I think his first name was Samuel. But I aspire
722
00:42:16.639 --> 00:42:18.800
to be that man. And what does it take to
723
00:42:18.840 --> 00:42:23.800
do that. Well, my commonly used rifle is sitting in
724
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:27.360
my safe right now with about a thousand rounds of
725
00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:31.679
five five six ammunition in magazines, ready to go if
726
00:42:31.719 --> 00:42:35.679
I need it, and I've trained to do it. Yeah,
727
00:42:35.719 --> 00:42:37.639
I had military training, but you don't have to have
728
00:42:37.719 --> 00:42:41.159
military training. Get training, go out to the range regularly,
729
00:42:41.760 --> 00:42:44.039
and exercise your rights but that's not the end of it.
730
00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:47.920
You'll talk to your five closest neighbors and have a
731
00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:53.119
community plan to defend yourselves and your homes and your famili's.
732
00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:57.760
That's the minimum right there to be an American citizen
733
00:42:58.119 --> 00:43:03.039
and fulfill that responsibility that's described in this Second Amendment,
734
00:43:03.119 --> 00:43:05.719
in my opinion, and that's all I can tell people
735
00:43:05.800 --> 00:43:08.719
to do at this point in our history, because they've
736
00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:10.960
made so many laws in so many states where you
737
00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:15.920
risk tripping up and becoming a criminal, and those kind
738
00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:19.280
of are an insurrectionist by accident if you go too
739
00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:21.840
much further than that. But those are the minimums of
740
00:43:22.880 --> 00:43:26.119
fulfilling your responsibilities as an American, and it applies to
741
00:43:26.239 --> 00:43:29.119
men and women. If you don't think women can be warriors,
742
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:32.079
you've got another thing coming. My best warriors in the
743
00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:36.599
V one cockpit, my two best warrior combat co pilots
744
00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:40.440
were women, and they went on to be fantastic aircraft
745
00:43:40.480 --> 00:43:44.280
commanders and instructors and squadron commanders and all kinds of
746
00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:49.000
things after I left Air Force. So so my point
747
00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:52.920
with all that is fulfill your responsibility. It's a right, yes,
748
00:43:53.159 --> 00:43:56.800
the Second Amendment is, but it's also a responsibility, and
749
00:43:56.840 --> 00:43:59.480
it's our responsibility to do that. You don't have to
750
00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:04.000
be untrained, you don't have to be uncoordinated with your neighbors.
751
00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:04.440
Uh.
752
00:44:04.559 --> 00:44:07.280
You should know your five closest neighbors, know what their
753
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:10.239
views are, what their capabilities are, and have a plan
754
00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:12.320
as to who would do what in the event of
755
00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:13.039
an emergency.
756
00:44:13.400 --> 00:44:16.519
You never know. I live right here where Kashrina hit
757
00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:17.360
pretty hard.
758
00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:21.519
Uh and uh uh. Ask those people that survived that.
759
00:44:21.679 --> 00:44:24.119
Go have a chat with somebody that's been through something
760
00:44:24.159 --> 00:44:26.239
like that and you'll understand what I'm talking about.
761
00:44:28.679 --> 00:44:33.239
My wife is a definitely a warrior. She does stuff.
762
00:44:33.280 --> 00:44:36.440
I'm like, how does she even do? I don't where
763
00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:39.199
does that come from? Like, I'm and I'm serious, it's
764
00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:42.159
I think anybody with a strong woman in their life
765
00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:48.800
knows what I'm talking about. Do you. It's gonna sound
766
00:44:48.840 --> 00:44:53.360
like a crazy question. Probably. I'm sitting here listening to
767
00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:56.400
this and I get sent all these I mean, I
768
00:44:56.480 --> 00:45:00.800
went down the QAnon hole for a while. I've you know,
769
00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:05.320
all of the conspiracies, the documentaries all that, I've seen
770
00:45:05.360 --> 00:45:08.519
it all. And my my I'm I'm very and I'm
771
00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:12.559
friends with with doctor Jerome Corsi as well, and and
772
00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:16.039
and you know, he's he's got some interesting theories. But
773
00:45:16.559 --> 00:45:22.960
you know, have you do you have hope for America?
774
00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:25.400
And I know that sounds crazy to say that, but
775
00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:28.480
do you feel like that there's a way out of
776
00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:33.199
this that that we're we can we we can wrangle
777
00:45:33.280 --> 00:45:37.800
these people that are just freaking There's some lunatics and
778
00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:40.280
I'm not going to say even on the left, there's
779
00:45:40.519 --> 00:45:47.199
just lunatics that have these very unbelievably obscure views of
780
00:45:47.239 --> 00:45:51.239
what's actually occurring in in our country. I don't get it.
781
00:45:53.559 --> 00:45:54.519
Of course I have hope.
782
00:45:56.559 --> 00:46:00.880
But when Davy Crockett those that speech on those courthouse
783
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:03.760
steps that I was talking about, Yeah, where.
784
00:46:03.599 --> 00:46:07.039
Did he go? He went to Texas? All right.
785
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:10.599
He didn't go there thinking he was going to die.
786
00:46:11.119 --> 00:46:15.239
He didn't go there thinking he was even going to
787
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:17.800
get shot at uh. He didn't go there to be
788
00:46:18.239 --> 00:46:20.159
a hero of the Alamo. And you can, I mean,
789
00:46:20.159 --> 00:46:23.480
the historical records and the facts around it and all that,
790
00:46:23.519 --> 00:46:25.239
you can debate that all day long, but the bottom
791
00:46:25.239 --> 00:46:28.400
line is he led a group of men from Tennessee
792
00:46:28.960 --> 00:46:32.159
go look at the walls of the Alamo. They're the
793
00:46:32.239 --> 00:46:35.719
largest list of names, guess where it's at, Tennessee. So
794
00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:39.880
he used his leadership and his experiences to convince many
795
00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:44.239
of his friends to go there because of the hope
796
00:46:44.440 --> 00:46:47.480
that freedom could come to anywhere, based on what he
797
00:46:47.559 --> 00:46:51.199
had learned growing up in his country and as a frontiersman,
798
00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:55.840
and using that same question that my book is titled
799
00:46:56.079 --> 00:46:58.840
what can I Do about It? And that's what the
800
00:46:58.920 --> 00:47:02.119
call those kind of call are all about. So absolutely
801
00:47:02.159 --> 00:47:04.960
I have hope. You know, twenty it's being said that
802
00:47:05.119 --> 00:47:10.480
reported that twenty million Americans watched Charlie Kirk's memorial service
803
00:47:11.079 --> 00:47:16.920
on broadcast television, not live stream, but broadcast television.
804
00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:18.039
Think about that.
805
00:47:18.800 --> 00:47:24.159
Now, that's a system that is adamantly opposed to Americans
806
00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:27.760
who believe, like Davy Crockett and Rob Venus and Ken
807
00:47:27.800 --> 00:47:31.239
Walls and Ken Walls's wife believe and probably everybody that
808
00:47:31.280 --> 00:47:35.079
hopefully everybody that's watching, they are anathetical to us. They're
809
00:47:35.079 --> 00:47:38.639
anathetical to the whole idea. And still twenty million people
810
00:47:39.159 --> 00:47:42.639
watched it on there. Over one hundred million live streams
811
00:47:42.639 --> 00:47:46.880
throughout the world were observed of Charlie Kirks memorial. Of course,
812
00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:49.400
I have hope. I have hope I met Charlie Kirk
813
00:47:49.440 --> 00:47:52.079
when he I think he was around nineteen, wasn't too
814
00:47:52.119 --> 00:47:55.159
long after he started Turning Point USA. I was just
815
00:47:55.280 --> 00:47:58.000
entering the political arena as a US Senate candidate against
816
00:47:58.039 --> 00:48:01.000
Bill Cassidy and Mary Landry and Louisiana, much to the
817
00:48:01.119 --> 00:48:05.400
chagrin of the establishment Republicans who still hate me so much.
818
00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:09.360
They hate me so much. Uh they try to prevent
819
00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:12.639
me from uh getting leadership roles and those kind of
820
00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:16.079
things even to this day. Uh wow, okay, so uh,
821
00:48:16.119 --> 00:48:20.400
but I still have hope because those Americans and especially
822
00:48:20.440 --> 00:48:23.119
those young people, and that that filled that building in
823
00:48:23.159 --> 00:48:27.559
Arizona the other day last night in the University of Minnesota,
824
00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:32.119
much to the angst of the of the Marxist folks
825
00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:35.599
up there. Uh, with that governor and all those people.
826
00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:38.679
They're yelling and whining and screaming about it. But they
827
00:48:38.760 --> 00:48:43.400
filled it and they're gonna fill them all. Uh. Before yesterday, Uh,
828
00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:45.960
there were no chapters for Turning Point us a A
829
00:48:46.239 --> 00:48:48.920
on any of the major colleges right here on the coast.
830
00:48:48.960 --> 00:48:51.360
Because I'm in touch with the regional director and I
831
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:54.199
asked him right away, told him, Hey, I'll volunteer to
832
00:48:54.239 --> 00:48:56.880
help you build them and those kind of things. I
833
00:48:57.000 --> 00:48:59.880
just got told by uh, by someone that goes to
834
00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:04.280
school that we have a chapter meeting today, wow, of
835
00:49:04.360 --> 00:49:07.920
young people in one of those schools. So yes, of
836
00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:10.440
course I have hope. I have hope that my five
837
00:49:10.559 --> 00:49:16.039
children and their children have gotten some of the characteristics
838
00:49:16.079 --> 00:49:18.960
that I got from my family that came from people
839
00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:22.320
like Davy Crockett, my ancestor William that fought in the
840
00:49:22.360 --> 00:49:25.440
Continental Army out of North Carolina, and all of those
841
00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:28.400
that have come before us. They've passed the stuff down
842
00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:31.760
to us. It's what drove me to do what I
843
00:49:31.880 --> 00:49:34.519
did in the United States Armed Forces is what drove
844
00:49:34.599 --> 00:49:37.840
me into the political arena to try to stop establishment
845
00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:42.199
from politicians from running as one thing and governing like
846
00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:45.519
they're on the other side. It's what drives me today
847
00:49:46.079 --> 00:49:49.280
this episode today in my show's five hundred and eighty three.
848
00:49:49.719 --> 00:49:52.679
I got my YouTube channel back today for the Rob
849
00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:54.880
Mayna Show. I haven't figured out how to link greenlink
850
00:49:54.920 --> 00:49:58.840
it back. We've been broadcasting to my personal channel since
851
00:49:58.840 --> 00:50:01.599
they took it aw away for me at episode one
852
00:50:01.960 --> 00:50:05.800
sixty two, and I'm at five sixty or five eighty
853
00:50:05.840 --> 00:50:09.960
three today and I got that back this morning. If
854
00:50:09.960 --> 00:50:13.400
you haven't heard, Google and YouTube it finally relented and
855
00:50:13.519 --> 00:50:16.800
admitted they were wrong for censoring us. And Charlie Kirk
856
00:50:18.199 --> 00:50:21.840
was the only American that would go into college campuses
857
00:50:22.159 --> 00:50:24.719
and talk to eighteen year olds and nineteen year olds
858
00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:28.159
and twenty year olds in twenty thirteen because they said,
859
00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:30.199
and they were telling my folks were telling me this.
860
00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:34.320
The professionals in the political business. The campaign was rob
861
00:50:34.360 --> 00:50:36.679
they won't vote for you. There's no reason to waste
862
00:50:36.719 --> 00:50:39.519
your time going and talking to these kids on college campuses.
863
00:50:40.320 --> 00:50:44.920
Charlie Kirle, Charlie Kirk did this, and the eighteen to
864
00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:48.000
thirty five year old demographic went for Donald Trump in
865
00:50:48.079 --> 00:50:51.760
this second historic election That's never happened this way before
866
00:50:51.800 --> 00:50:52.559
in our lifetimes.
867
00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:54.639
I know Garfield got reelected.
868
00:50:54.119 --> 00:50:58.199
Once, but he wasn't threatened and tried in court, almost
869
00:50:58.239 --> 00:51:01.599
put in prison for ninety four years for life, and
870
00:51:01.639 --> 00:51:03.360
those kind of things like this man was.
871
00:51:03.639 --> 00:51:05.760
And two assassinations.
872
00:51:06.280 --> 00:51:09.920
Charlie Kirks leadership because he asked himself the same question
873
00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:12.960
at that book that I'm getting to release, is what
874
00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:16.440
can I do about it? And he figured it out
875
00:51:16.599 --> 00:51:19.199
and that's why we wrote the book. You know, the
876
00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:22.000
incident had not occurred as a matter of fact when
877
00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:25.760
we wrote this book, but we have changed the forward
878
00:51:26.039 --> 00:51:28.440
in the book and dedicated it to Charlie and his
879
00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:33.239
efforts and free speech, because that's exactly what he was doing,
880
00:51:33.400 --> 00:51:35.480
was answering that question. We try to give people some
881
00:51:35.559 --> 00:51:38.119
tools in the book to do that. I didn't want
882
00:51:38.159 --> 00:51:40.599
to just write a biography that people would read and go, oh,
883
00:51:40.599 --> 00:51:42.440
that's an interesting person and throw it a you know,
884
00:51:42.480 --> 00:51:44.480
put it on the shelf. I wanted to give people
885
00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:47.679
some tools that I've learned to use and ideas that
886
00:51:47.719 --> 00:51:51.360
I've learned about from people like Charlie. Even though I'm
887
00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:53.639
thirty three years older than him, i still learned a
888
00:51:53.679 --> 00:51:55.519
lot from him. And I'm very grateful that he did
889
00:51:55.559 --> 00:51:57.960
what he did, and that gives me hope that the
890
00:51:58.039 --> 00:52:03.119
United States will continue and that we will defeat these people,
891
00:52:04.199 --> 00:52:07.920
whether they're American citizens or not, that no longer will
892
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:10.320
support and defend the Constitution of the United States but
893
00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:12.719
want to burn it down. We will defeat these people,
894
00:52:12.920 --> 00:52:16.199
and we'll do it through free speech in spite of
895
00:52:16.199 --> 00:52:18.039
them killing us one at a time.
896
00:52:19.719 --> 00:52:24.679
Amen, Holy moly, Wow, I can't wait to rewatch that
897
00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:28.920
and put it out in some nice clips. That was unbelievable.
898
00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:33.440
You've spoken at at Amfest, right.
899
00:52:34.320 --> 00:52:34.760
Yes, sir.
900
00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:38.519
I got the opportunity to speak at MFIs last December. Wow,
901
00:52:39.199 --> 00:52:43.079
and I asked to do it because my pack, Gator Pack.
902
00:52:43.159 --> 00:52:45.880
You can find it at gatorpac dot com. Give us
903
00:52:45.880 --> 00:52:47.920
a five dollars a month donation, folks. This is what
904
00:52:47.960 --> 00:52:49.920
we did. We raised over two and a half million dollars.
905
00:52:49.960 --> 00:52:54.440
Our largest political donation for that presidential cycle was to
906
00:52:54.960 --> 00:52:59.599
two groups, Charlie's Turning Point USA and Cliff Maloney's Pennsylvania Chase.
907
00:52:59.599 --> 00:53:00.639
There really one group.
908
00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:04.039
They were working together to ballot Chase in the Swing States,
909
00:53:04.239 --> 00:53:07.039
and as you know, Pennsylvania was the first state to
910
00:53:07.079 --> 00:53:09.440
be announced that Trump won in the Swing States, and
911
00:53:09.480 --> 00:53:11.760
that within five minutes of that it was pronounced he
912
00:53:11.840 --> 00:53:13.920
was going to be president of the United States.
913
00:53:13.920 --> 00:53:14.199
Again.
914
00:53:14.679 --> 00:53:17.360
That was Charlie Kirk and Clipaloni and that whole team
915
00:53:18.039 --> 00:53:21.039
that did that. And I just wanted to say thank you.
916
00:53:21.079 --> 00:53:22.400
So I spent about five minutes too.
917
00:53:23.440 --> 00:53:26.480
That's amazing. And that I haven't scrolling is that it
918
00:53:26.599 --> 00:53:28.360
is that how you spell it G A T O
919
00:53:28.519 --> 00:53:29.079
R p A C.
920
00:53:29.679 --> 00:53:31.000
That's correct. That's correct.
921
00:53:31.039 --> 00:53:35.840
Okay, so everybody, I yeah, I'll definitely go over. I'll
922
00:53:35.880 --> 00:53:41.679
sign up support you and Robmayanus dot com as well. Correct.

924
00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:49.000
So much, so much on there by the way and.
925

My Facebook fan pages at co l Rob Maynus. It's
926
00:53:53.360 --> 00:53:56.199
got about two hundred thousand followers. It's been suppressed since
927
00:53:56.239 --> 00:54:00.920
October first, twenty twenty. That page you should generate about
928
00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:03.360
nine thousand dollars a month in revenue at its peak
929
00:54:03.440 --> 00:54:07.039
after only four months in operation, and Facebook has stolen
930
00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:10.480
the rest of it from us all this time. So
931
00:54:10.519 --> 00:54:12.920
if you can go there and subscribe to that, like it,
932
00:54:13.039 --> 00:54:15.119
follow it, all that stuff, I'd appreciate it. And on
933
00:54:15.360 --> 00:54:18.639
x at Rob Manus, at getter at Rob Manus. I'm
934
00:54:18.679 --> 00:54:21.519
on True Social. The show broadcasts on the True Social
935
00:54:21.519 --> 00:54:23.920
plus channel two, so you can.
936
00:54:23.760 --> 00:54:24.440
Find us there.
937
00:54:24.960 --> 00:54:28.599
And of course we're on Rumble at Worldviewtube on their
938
00:54:28.639 --> 00:54:31.639
live stream and our channel has the Rob Maina Show
939
00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:36.440
was live there and soon we will go back to
940
00:54:36.480 --> 00:54:39.559
the Rob Maina Show page on YouTube.
941
00:54:39.599 --> 00:54:43.280
On YouTube, it's there, you can find it now. That's
942
00:54:43.360 --> 00:54:47.679
so awesome. Congratulations, and I knew. I knew it would
943
00:54:47.719 --> 00:54:53.440
come back eventually. The only video that YouTube has ever
944
00:54:53.559 --> 00:54:58.320
deleted from my show one video, and that was doctor
945
00:54:58.400 --> 00:54:59.320
Jerome Corsi.
946
00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:02.480
I like doctor Corsi. I've got to meet him a
947
00:55:02.480 --> 00:55:04.159
couple of times. I have some of his books. I
948
00:55:04.239 --> 00:55:07.559
love the guy. He's a fantastic American. But you know
949
00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:11.360
what they did to us. They went back, they found
950
00:55:11.400 --> 00:55:14.400
a video they didn't like that was current, and they
951
00:55:14.400 --> 00:55:18.559
went back three years again and found enough videos that
952
00:55:18.599 --> 00:55:21.639
they could put strikes against based on policies that were
953
00:55:21.639 --> 00:55:23.559
written after we did the videos.
954
00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:24.840
It's despicable.
955
00:55:25.239 --> 00:55:28.320
And if I had the money, I would sue Facebook,
956
00:55:28.360 --> 00:55:33.320
Google and YouTube for millions of dollars, but it's almost
957
00:55:33.360 --> 00:55:35.800
impossible to do. So you st to get somebody to
958
00:55:35.800 --> 00:55:39.119
take that case up, because they think probably over a
959
00:55:39.119 --> 00:55:41.280
million dollars at least, I'm.
960
00:55:41.079 --> 00:55:43.519
Sure they do. I'll tell you here's what I think
961
00:55:43.599 --> 00:55:50.239
is going to happen. Trump's just getting started. II They
962
00:55:50.760 --> 00:55:54.119
next year or so, we're gonna see some things like WHOA.
963
00:55:55.280 --> 00:55:58.119
I don't know, we'll see. But Colonel, I know your
964
00:55:58.159 --> 00:56:02.039
time is. I think you're on a tight schedule, so
965
00:56:02.119 --> 00:56:04.360
I don't wanna I don't want to go over if
966
00:56:04.400 --> 00:56:08.360
you can't, but I do wanna. I don't feel like
967
00:56:08.440 --> 00:56:13.880
I covered hardly anything with you too. I will say this, okay,
968
00:56:14.119 --> 00:56:16.360
I want to I want to offer this to you.
969
00:56:16.440 --> 00:56:22.199
I'll do it publicly. I'm an Amazon influencer and and
970
00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:24.639
I would love to invite you to do we can.
971
00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:27.079
I'm I'm one of the few people that can live
972
00:56:27.159 --> 00:56:32.679
stream directly to Amazon's customers. So when your book is released,
973
00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:35.039
I would love to invite you on to do an
974
00:56:35.079 --> 00:56:38.800
Amazon live with me and I'll host it and there
975
00:56:38.840 --> 00:56:42.639
Their only communist rules are you're not allowed to bring
976
00:56:42.760 --> 00:56:48.039
up outside external websites. That's okay, which which is understandable.
977
00:56:48.079 --> 00:56:50.800
It's you know, hey, come over here and play and
978
00:56:50.880 --> 00:56:52.519
sell everybody else's stuff. No.
979
00:56:52.760 --> 00:56:55.280
Yeah, well I want to sell my book on Amazon too,
980
00:56:55.400 --> 00:56:57.519
So I mean that's part of our that's part of
981
00:56:57.519 --> 00:57:01.440
our our process and approach that the team that's that's
982
00:57:01.480 --> 00:57:03.199
working with me is is doing.
983
00:57:03.280 --> 00:57:04.239
So it's all ready to go.
984
00:57:04.280 --> 00:57:07.760
We're just waiting on the final approval from the Pentagon. Uh,
985
00:57:08.320 --> 00:57:10.639
it should be soon. It's not a very long book,
986
00:57:10.639 --> 00:57:12.639
and there wasn't that much information in it that I
987
00:57:12.639 --> 00:57:15.039
would think would be at risk, but I told them
988
00:57:15.039 --> 00:57:18.079
to just do their job. They said it'd probably be
989
00:57:18.119 --> 00:57:19.840
a minimum of a couple of months. So we're coming
990
00:57:19.920 --> 00:57:21.079
up on a couple of months here.
991
00:57:21.000 --> 00:57:21.840
In about two.
992
00:57:22.880 --> 00:57:25.639
Can can you like call anybody and go, hey.
993
00:57:27.480 --> 00:57:29.559
I'll check in with them after I hit their minimums.
994
00:57:32.000 --> 00:57:33.599
That's awesome that the.
995
00:57:33.559 --> 00:57:35.719
Guys work at the guys and gals work at that
996
00:57:35.840 --> 00:57:38.559
office and depending on have been great. So have they
997
00:57:38.639 --> 00:57:41.039
not everybody in the government to these days is great.
998
00:57:41.039 --> 00:57:43.360
But I could tell right away that they were They
999
00:57:43.360 --> 00:57:45.719
were all business and doing good jobs.
1000
00:57:46.039 --> 00:57:50.440
Yeah, I'm I'm a publisher and so I I literally
1001
00:57:50.719 --> 00:57:53.519
I'm I wait on the Library of Congress to send
1002
00:57:53.599 --> 00:57:57.679
me the registration number all the time. And it's like,
1003
00:57:57.760 --> 00:58:01.760
oh my gosh. They don't move fast. They do not
1004
00:58:01.880 --> 00:58:08.880
move fast. So so what what would be some parting words?
1005
00:58:08.880 --> 00:58:11.440
And I'm going to give you full screen out of respect,
1006
00:58:11.719 --> 00:58:15.079
I really would like you to, you know, for the
1007
00:58:15.119 --> 00:58:18.360
people who are watching and listening, they'll listen to this
1008
00:58:18.559 --> 00:58:25.440
later when I upload it. What words of hope do
1009
00:58:25.599 --> 00:58:29.400
you have for people that are just barely hanging on
1010
00:58:29.639 --> 00:58:34.719
to whatever. There's a lot of people struggling, not just emotionally,
1011
00:58:34.760 --> 00:58:38.880
but financially in every other way, what would you say
1012
00:58:38.920 --> 00:58:42.159
to those folks that are that are looking for for
1013
00:58:42.199 --> 00:58:45.400
some hope to continue pushing forward.
1014
00:58:47.119 --> 00:58:51.119
Well, thanks, Ken, I appreciate that. Thanks for having me on. Look, folks,
1015
00:58:51.719 --> 00:58:57.239
we're Americans. We answer that question individually at that level.
1016
00:58:57.519 --> 00:59:00.679
What can I do about it? So as a Americans,
1017
00:59:01.360 --> 00:59:03.840
you have the hope that you have that ingrained in
1018
00:59:03.920 --> 00:59:07.599
your DNA, that idea that you don't have to put
1019
00:59:07.679 --> 00:59:10.400
up with being broke. You don't have to put up
1020
00:59:10.440 --> 00:59:13.880
with government that takes your tax dollars and then does
1021
00:59:13.920 --> 00:59:16.679
things against you. There are things you can do about it,
1022
00:59:17.480 --> 00:59:20.760
and you know that. I just would encourage you to
1023
00:59:21.000 --> 00:59:26.000
ask yourself that question every single day and follow Charlie
1024
00:59:26.039 --> 00:59:28.880
Kirk's advice. One of the pieces of advice he always
1025
00:59:28.920 --> 00:59:30.840
gave to college students that ask him for it is
1026
00:59:31.440 --> 00:59:35.360
learn something new every single day because it helps us
1027
00:59:35.440 --> 00:59:38.199
answer these questions. If I could do it as a
1028
00:59:38.199 --> 00:59:42.159
seventeen year old and mister Kirk could do it as
1029
00:59:42.159 --> 00:59:46.079
a teenager, every American can do it.
1030
00:59:46.880 --> 00:59:47.519
There are a lot of.
1031
00:59:47.559 --> 00:59:51.719
People whose giant shoulders we stand on, like Colonel Crockett
1032
00:59:51.719 --> 00:59:54.280
that I mentioned in this show today, But there are
1033
00:59:54.320 --> 00:59:57.760
tens of thousands of others, and they've all passed these
1034
00:59:57.840 --> 01:00:03.320
ideas down to us through our parents and our ancestors.
1035
01:00:03.800 --> 01:00:06.960
And it's up to us to take those ideas and
1036
01:00:07.039 --> 01:00:10.519
run with it. And the great thing about America is
1037
01:00:10.559 --> 01:00:13.679
that we can. We are able to do that because
1038
01:00:13.880 --> 01:00:18.199
even today, we still have enough freedom to change things
1039
01:00:18.239 --> 01:00:21.840
for the better. Get our institutions back to being American first,
1040
01:00:23.280 --> 01:00:27.159
correct our system of taxation so that the federal government
1041
01:00:27.320 --> 01:00:30.840
and all governments at every level aren't too powerful because
1042
01:00:30.840 --> 01:00:31.559
they are today.
1043
01:00:32.639 --> 01:00:33.360
We can do it.
1044
01:00:33.960 --> 01:00:37.079
The fight coming up after mister Trump leaves office, and
1045
01:00:37.159 --> 01:00:41.079
especially even now, is in the state houses. That's where
1046
01:00:41.079 --> 01:00:45.400
our culture is being attacked, restricted, and tyranny is rising
1047
01:00:45.559 --> 01:00:46.920
and has been rising all along.
1048
01:00:47.000 --> 01:00:48.519
As we've had these national fights.
1049
01:00:49.239 --> 01:00:51.599
Go find people to run for state house, run for
1050
01:00:51.679 --> 01:00:56.199
city council, run for county commission. It's not only our
1051
01:00:56.360 --> 01:01:01.360
obligation to have these fights willingly, but to have them
1052
01:01:01.400 --> 01:01:04.920
with a smile on our face and know that even
1053
01:01:04.920 --> 01:01:07.559
if it's an American citizen, if they're a Marxist or
1054
01:01:07.599 --> 01:01:11.199
an Islamist, they're an enemy of the Constitution. It's on
1055
01:01:11.320 --> 01:01:13.480
us to do it. Only three percent did it in
1056
01:01:13.519 --> 01:01:17.480
the American Revolution. That's all it takes. I'm counting on
1057
01:01:17.559 --> 01:01:22.719
you to join me and everybody else in this fight.
1058
01:01:23.519 --> 01:01:28.440
Wow. There you have it. And Shell's announcing your guests
1059
01:01:28.440 --> 01:01:31.639
for today. John Taylor is the Colonel's guest today and
1060
01:01:31.679 --> 01:01:35.599
we're talking about freedom of speech. What time does your
1061
01:01:35.599 --> 01:01:36.280
show start?
1062
01:01:36.599 --> 01:01:39.079
It starts at three pm Eastern two pm Central time.
1063
01:01:39.519 --> 01:01:44.199
Okay, everybody, make sure that you are following the Colonel
1064
01:01:44.400 --> 01:01:48.760
everywhere like it's so it is on your personal YouTube
1065
01:01:48.840 --> 01:01:50.480
channel because I've seen it there.
1066
01:01:50.559 --> 01:01:52.440
Yes, yes, it is so.
1067
01:01:53.079 --> 01:01:54.760
I haven't had time to link it back up to
1068
01:01:54.840 --> 01:01:57.599
the show channel today yet, but I will figure that out.
1069
01:01:58.760 --> 01:02:01.840
It's three days that it'll go there too. And I
1070
01:02:01.840 --> 01:02:04.960
will say that the one hour live stream television show
1071
01:02:05.079 --> 01:02:08.159
we simulcast to our ex audience. We actually turn the
1072
01:02:08.280 --> 01:02:11.440
X Space on about thirty minutes before and I try
1073
01:02:11.440 --> 01:02:14.320
to stay for thirty minutes after to talk in the
1074
01:02:14.480 --> 01:02:17.480
X Space if folks want to join us there and
1075
01:02:17.559 --> 01:02:19.920
they can't watch the full show. And I take questions
1076
01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:22.119
during the show from the Space audience.
1077
01:02:22.199 --> 01:02:24.840
Yeah, and that's where I got to know you is
1078
01:02:25.440 --> 01:02:29.920
through your doing the Space so very grateful for that.
1079
01:02:30.280 --> 01:02:33.440
I'm grateful for you coming on today. Thank you, and
1080
01:02:34.440 --> 01:02:37.800
let's let's make some noise. Let's get everybody over to
1081
01:02:37.840 --> 01:02:42.679
gatorpack dot com and to Robmaynus dot com. Those are
1082
01:02:42.719 --> 01:02:45.440
scrolling across the bottom of the screen. They will be
1083
01:02:45.519 --> 01:02:49.480
in the show notes as well. So, Colonel, thank you.
1084
01:02:49.519 --> 01:02:52.000
If you would stay with me, I am gonna I'm
1085
01:02:52.039 --> 01:02:54.079
going to close the show down, but if you'd stay
1086
01:02:54.119 --> 01:02:56.920
with me for a minute and just to chat about
1087
01:02:56.960 --> 01:03:01.599
the Amazon thing. And I want to say thank you
1088
01:03:01.639 --> 01:03:04.960
to everybody who's shared this out. If you have not
1089
01:03:05.159 --> 01:03:08.159
shared this out yet, there is time to redeem yourself,
1090
01:03:09.360 --> 01:03:11.920
go ahead and click that share button and share this
1091
01:03:12.039 --> 01:03:15.599
out to everybody you know on every social media platform.
1092
01:03:15.639 --> 01:03:20.280
Because even Zuckerberg was begging for his freedom when Trump won.
1093
01:03:20.760 --> 01:03:21.280
That's great.
1094
01:03:23.480 --> 01:03:25.559
I wish he'd give me mine. He still hasn't given
1095
01:03:25.599 --> 01:03:29.840
me mine back. Oh, ro Venus at col Rob Minus,
1096
01:03:29.880 --> 01:03:30.679
send him a note.
1097
01:03:31.159 --> 01:03:35.159
Oh I might be able to help you with that.
1098
01:03:35.280 --> 01:03:36.880
Let me let me see what I can do. But
1099
01:03:37.079 --> 01:03:40.559

1106
01:04:18.519 --> 01:04:18.800
