louisiana attorney general is joining

3:34

extraordinary voice

in fighting for freedom particularly

jeff lindsay good friend michelle doing a lot

4:22

of straight big work and courts courts

4:24

help you see

4:26

how federalism works in fact when

4:28

it's federalism it's means states' rights

4:31

over a big national government it's

4:33

one of the founding principles of the founding fathers

4:36

i'm on time in a town us followed

4:38

into the back seat government in washington

4:41

get growing and states didn't really object that

4:43

much but with people like rhonda santas

4:45

4:48

attorney general paxton in gov greg

4:50

abbott and texas attorney general

4:52

landry in louisiana attorney general

4:54

cheetah in indiana you're seeing a

4:57

revival of federalism states exercising

5:00

their state i'd say he's a governor

5:02

washington you can't intrude on my rights

5:05

and we saw in the pandemic there are

5:07

due to mandates the seen

5:09

in the borders with failure the federal government

5:11

to enforce immigration laws and

5:13

now you're seeing the states

5:15

exercisers federal was i'm

5:18

right there was state rights to explore

5:21

and expose what the federal government may

5:23

have to sort of free

5:25

speech of residents and

5:27

each other states mummy just reminds you

5:30

the first amendment the bill of rights

5:32

of the constitution says it

5:35

says that , may

5:37

not pass any laws that will a bridge

5:40

the right of free speech to freeze person in

5:42

america now see

5:44

that congress must cdc is funded

5:47

in traded by traded congressional act by

5:49

the legislation by the annual appropriations

5:51

and so the argument that some of these

5:53

lawsuits are beginning to make as if congress fun

5:56

something like the cdc

5:58

of the mh that then collusion the big

6:01

censor free speech in america as it

6:03

is a violation of the constitution and that

6:05

lawsuit attorney general jeff landry

6:07

has begun in louisiana

6:10

and he just got discovery rights mean get

6:12

mean permission now the the

6:14

color of states supreme them to

6:17

go get the documents and see just

6:19

how deep how far

6:21

reaching how intrusive federal

6:24

collusion with the big tech

6:26

companies may have been particularly to infringe

6:28

are free speech during the pandemic is

6:31

to be a historic ac can be one of the biggest

6:33

and most important cases in recent

6:35

free speech history in america months and

6:37

general edges going to be here just a second to

6:39

spread offense has been alas then

6:42

for going to going think for a second

6:45

my out the state of recruitment

6:48

a military recruitment in america we've had an all

6:50

volunteer army for so

6:52

long that well since the vietnam

6:55

war and we have brave men and women

6:57

that unless voluntarily defend freedom

6:59

in this country to put their lives and the lines

7:02

so you and i can sleep well at night rest

7:04

assured that liberty is kept

7:06

free from the tyranny of foreign

7:09

intrusions in our country but

7:12

since abide imitation game him since

7:14

the war policies of pronoun

7:16

enforcement in the military

7:19

critical race theory the military since

7:21

all that began recruitment

7:23

is beginning to plummet and in and very

7:26

big way in there are some polling some

7:28

polling work done by the regen defense institute

7:31

that suggests that people under the

7:33

age of thirty don't have the same high

7:36

regard for serving in the military

7:39

respecting the military's that every

7:41

prior generation american cinema some

7:43

that may be because of the weights and people

7:45

are being taught in school and an hour to dig into

7:47

that more as a journalist the

7:51

set you get them are so today he has

7:53

been digging into this issue he wrote extraordinary

7:56

op ed in the wall street journal

7:58

the a couple of days go his

8:00

name is jimmy burn his

8:03

service to his country came in the form of

8:05

a us army officer fought in the

8:07

armored divisions of the united states army

8:09

the recently became a student at the a law school

8:12

so after finishing his services country went

8:14

to greens law degree at yale i'm

8:16

here the founding board member of a great

8:18

group called veterans on duty the

8:20

non profit seeking to advocate

8:23

on behalf of veterans across this

8:25

country in his op ed

8:28

dug into some of the most extraordinary

8:30

forces that are driving down recruitment

8:33

and by twenty twenty four it is feared

8:36

all of the military branches may

8:38

have missed their recruitment people

8:40

do is i remember we threw out a bunch of army officers

8:42

and enlisted men because of the vaccine

8:45

mandates we're not selling their

8:47

regular attrition and now we

8:49

could be celebrating and attrition it

8:51

is extraordinary lot of forces involved in the site

8:54

younger people are more the sergeant

8:56

they're not saying physically fit

8:58

his obesity is growing the

9:00

bit the last for years that means a lot

9:02

of people are not qualified to meet the requirements

9:05

standards of the military has force

9:07

healthy and fitness population then

9:10

you see a significant amount

9:12

of discrimination against conservative

9:14

values of the military talk about people

9:17

can serve as my the white supremacists or domestic

9:19

terrorists that seems to be having affect

9:22

all of that plus the woke agenda

9:24

the critical race every the pronoun enforcement

9:26

transgender ideology

9:29

military recruitment is plummeting

9:31

my friends it's plummeting jimmy

9:34

burn his can explain why what's

9:36

going on what did his research has

9:38

a board member vets on duty when his resets

9:40

as he lost it it wasn't his first

9:43

came out as us army officers

9:45

tell him about this dynamic and how can

9:47

we change it you her john bolton the former

9:49

un ambassador former national security adviser

9:51

to president trump's talk about his concerns

9:54

about recruitment in the army jimmy burned

9:56

has the same answer these a lot

9:58

of deep thinking about him he's gonna make sensible

10:00

offer estimates so that about

10:02

today's louisiana attorney general

10:05

landry up first followed by jimmy burn

10:08

a voice we have an ad on the show before but one i think

10:10

you're going to quickly respect

10:12

and enjoy because he brings are facts

10:14

with him about what's going on in

10:16

the recruitment space are i thought

10:19

will be right back after this commercial messages

10:21

to start off are great and reason with none

10:23

other than general landry it's it's original

10:25

from the great state of louisiana racist

10:33

hi folks what about for the commercial break we've

10:35

had this verse guess on are so many times before

10:38

there's a good reason forty doing some of the most

10:40

important work in the country it's on states'

10:42

rights on fighting back against large

10:45

federal government interventions really

10:47

bringing in reviving federalism in the court

10:49

system he is a great attorney general

10:51

of the state of louisiana definitely return general

10:53

manager it's great to have a on the so sir it's

10:56

always a pleasure to be with you and

10:59

have an opportunity to visit with all a little

11:01

is that you've got a great people i'm

11:03

so thanks for having it's an honor

11:05

you are doing such important work

11:08

every day we know that the constitution

11:10

says that the congress in el paso more

11:12

fun anything that would that bridge the

11:14

right of free speech in america but it seems

11:17

like some lawsuits the dirt's working

11:19

on it with the cdc these efforts

11:21

to work with private sector people

11:23

sector censor americans for on the

11:25

other side of that prohibitions tell

11:27

us what you're learning about the cdc and it's efforts

11:29

at censorship during the pandemic

11:31

you know year i think it's it's an important constitutional

11:34

lesson you know the bill origen

11:37

and and in enough that the safeguards

11:39

and started a bill rights are designed to

11:41

protect us from the government

11:44

and and knows right say that the government tainted

11:46

fringe upon us it spells

11:48

out those things they got mcdaid you will

11:51

, government also keep co op

11:53

right or collude with a private

11:56

citizen or to violate

11:58

those same

11:59

right

11:59

as well it sure would we

12:02

believe in what we have found it in fact

12:04

brought not long after we filed

12:06

the lawsuit is that the government

12:09

colluded with encouraged

12:12

the big tech platforms the

12:14

able to censor infant issue that

12:16

was vitally necessary for

12:19

to the american people during

12:21

the pandemic an end of course this budget

12:23

the demagogue we saw it in one hundred

12:26

bought a laptop we saw it in

12:28

russia gate with the steele dossier

12:31

it is a when the government engages

12:34

in censor

12:35

yeah utilizing a private

12:38

actor

12:39

a who otherwise a

12:41

could violate our first human rights should a

12:43

facebook or google you know what i'd say

12:45

we have private company we could sense anything

12:47

we want we get a right to regulate what's on

12:49

our platform a but if

12:52

the government is involved in doing

12:54

that

12:55

well then they become a government act and

12:57

that's what that suits about good news is

12:59

that a judge in louisiana has agreed to

13:01

allow us to conduct discovery is

13:03

so the subpoenas have gone out and was reaching

13:06

the finds a very interesting things

13:08

i bet you are in san sebastian

13:10

entire measure public enemies there's a louisiana public

13:12

first but this is an investigation

13:15

has enormous benefits every americans

13:17

the idea that our government in some partisan

13:20

institutions could work together to

13:22

try to silence us or sensor

13:24

us is really remarkable i

13:27

want to ask you about something happened about ten days

13:29

ago but i think it's absolutely it's on

13:31

point for the case it you're working out's doctor

13:33

deborah burke's he was our current a virus coordinator

13:36

under president trump and president obama made

13:38

obama remarkable admission this admission the same woman

13:40

who along with doctor thought you said listen that's listen

13:43

that's to stop the spread of the a virus

13:45

she said seen out a myth now that

13:47

all along they knew that these vaccines

13:50

would not stop the spread of infection

13:52

stay might make the symptoms last month they wouldn't

13:54

stop the spread of infection odyssey

13:57

people who question that at the time those are some

13:59

of the people being tarred

13:59

the for censorship know what do you make

14:02

of someone now acknowledging that what was being

14:04

said the official story line of the government's

14:06

wasn't true

14:08

yeah me too i look is is extremely troublesome

14:10

me because basically which hey is

14:13

some of the things that many scientists

14:15

and doctors confirmed early

14:18

on a think about the

14:20

amount of people who received the vaccine

14:22

based upon his decision that

14:24

they were told in the believe

14:27

that they couldn't dot contract the virus

14:29

if they were vaccinated again

14:32

i think that's part of the

14:34

lawsuit that we're going on going

14:36

on see the this is about the

14:38

censoring of information and

14:41

we also i mean there were also

14:43

learning is there may have been and they still all

14:45

right now therapeutic was out there that after

14:47

the tendency to be what you say

14:50

blocks out there yeah

14:52

those same there be a was

14:54

suppressed by basically

14:56

you know a group of people who wanted to push

14:59

a one size fits all solution

15:02

they're make it so we were really sold

15:04

a bill of goods that we're finding out today in the same

15:06

people soul as the bill on are walking

15:08

back the reason for selling

15:10

it to us so you know it's

15:12

gonna be interesting i think it's a raises a

15:14

number of legal questions us a

15:16

liability or indices of

15:18

the nothing's gonna play out over

15:20

the coming years as more and more evidence

15:23

comes out as if you're what was the advocacy

15:26

and in what was that policies in order

15:28

to push this vaccine

15:30

no no doubt about it you're

15:33

working on allow there are a big issue

15:35

is a really powerful op ed you wrote

15:37

the other day about the by limitations

15:39

efforts to tie it's woke agenda it's pronouns

15:42

plans to leave school

15:45

lunch him and breakfast programs you

15:47

call this bidens moonshot go walk

15:49

or star very powerful op

15:51

ed lot of people talking about it's tell us

15:53

what so concerning about the by the miss a since play

15:56

on this

15:57

i'm a big about this is this where we

15:59

are in a country where willing to start kids

16:01

to for his boys it a little girls wrong that

16:04

i mean like you know i mean that

16:06

in a day when atrocity to do any better product

16:08

let me run into the girls bad

16:10

david webb me you know obvious

16:13

yeah i suppose the rear their right it's

16:15

a today we encourage again oh yeah

16:17

you your never thought a problem undies and

16:19

and then and then of course for those of

16:22

you know in in states in in school boards

16:24

who who don't subscribe to this will

16:27

give them is is is basically

16:29

they're gonna pull the nutritional

16:31

probably promote i mean really

16:34

it's he's a star vote or do our way of me

16:36

what else would they would use food as a

16:38

weapon for

16:40

it's amazing they're willing to

16:42

let children starved its the people who rely

16:44

that program the most vulnerable children in

16:46

the school system and they're being held hostage

16:48

for some political ideology

16:50

go ideal ideology campaign

16:53

it's just it's as remarkable we're op ed

16:56

steep all across the country been talking about very

16:58

powerful another thing that people are talking

17:00

about a you've got to say triggers all posts

17:02

roe v wade reverse olds are

17:05

big when yesterday the allied attitude

17:07

in louisiana department of health's has

17:09

published their first conditions of that is

17:11

the clear it's medical guidance to the doctors

17:13

i know that's one of the important steps to the lobs

17:16

he can feel things you don't bother don't you

17:18

the are you know there's a huge when the

17:21

l d h of basically

17:23

published and sent those clinics

17:25

a cease and desist letter was letter was

17:27

strong word that and that was that

17:30

was because we finally got

17:32

the court of appeal to strike down

17:35

or the judge's ruling and

17:37

grant us a suspension of abuse we continue

17:39

to litigate louisiana's triggers laws which

17:42

now or in place you

17:44

know i think it was a dick your last couple

17:46

days of great of for those who

17:49

choose life over death in

17:52

louise the n n n n n

17:54

yeah without a h putting out to cease

17:56

and desist order think that puts us at

17:58

the final nail in the

17:59

that we look forward to continue

18:02

to litigate this issue to quick at us supreme

18:04

court in louisiana could take this matter

18:06

with insane the so long she did lacking

18:08

some leadership of their own court and

18:10

article going to get tickets the better off we are

18:13

some , your first sort of really made a big

18:15

difference i'm not ruling you'd see a lot of

18:17

this machinations as they govern our

18:20

pressing ahead to protect unborn babies

18:22

as a big moment in louisiana another

18:24

place where i know you have a lot of frustration the

18:26

great city of new orleans i love that city it's

18:28

a beautiful city the people are maison the

18:31

leadership of the city service at a hard time

18:33

controlling crime and also complying

18:35

with state law months i know you have a lot

18:37

of issues with mayor tense i'll just tell us a little

18:40

bit about your concerns about

18:42

the city safety the way they're enforcing

18:44

way law down there

18:45

will get a direct coalition coalition

18:48

between the mayor's policies

18:51

and a crime problem in new orleans i mean

18:53

is no doubt that policy

18:56

in a position that they have taken such is

18:58

actually goes even further than that goes before

19:00

the toy ghost a bitch layer jews

19:03

the mayor before that who signed consent decree

19:05

the basically started to climb way that

19:07

has affected the city a new orleans

19:10

in of course the city just continues to

19:12

double down one on the

19:14

liberal agenda and as a duke more

19:16

more people are hurt were

19:18

victims of ,

19:21

occurs and you see some of the most horrific

19:23

violent crimes it's like a saw titled

19:25

as they did urology now the murder

19:27

capital of the world and and

19:29

as you said earlier that certainly is is

19:32

is concerning because it is such a great

19:34

city with so much rich tradition

19:36

and culture people com or

19:38

from around the world to visit your just

19:41

a huge port city it's been

19:43

there for you know through the hundred years

19:45

leeches it's years it's it's unbelievable city

19:48

in an aide to have it run into the

19:50

ground up because of political

19:52

leadership is is is disappointing

19:55

it's just unbelievable around in the things

19:57

that we see not and in a double down

19:59

i just actually

20:02

complete disregard for the rule of

20:04

law

20:04

me really as are marked when it comes

20:07

at the expense of live it's just

20:09

remark a more sings all across the country

20:11

with these blue run city they just seem

20:13

to defy commonsense identify

20:15

the will have their own residents who was

20:17

going to be safe they they want to be safe and want to walk

20:19

around wondering if the kids gonna get hit

20:21

by a stray bullet do you think there

20:24

are more things that you'll be able to do

20:26

overtime to compel the

20:28

new orleans city leaders to do what they need

20:30

to do to protect public safety in their great city

20:33

yeah absolutely i forget where you started

20:35

pulled tight that that

20:37

the purse strings or take you start to see

20:39

start different actions occur under

20:42

of course i'm sure to get a kick and scream for the meanwhile

20:44

and call us are you know of the

20:46

northern just a bunch of terrorists but

20:49

but but again but again we look at the statistics

20:51

and you see the amount of people in the citadel

20:54

hurting and really is be victimized

20:56

by crime is your he got no other choice

20:58

should they just won't conduct themselves

21:01

in an orderly rule of law manner

21:04

such an amazing dynamic

21:06

to watched as for so long disarming

21:09

the nose a common sense and at the rule of

21:11

law as you look out i know

21:13

this case with doctor fancy the

21:15

cdc the and i it's are gonna have to comply

21:17

start turning over their communications with

21:19

these private entities the social

21:22

media companies big tech from your early

21:24

work what do you expect you're going to find out what

21:26

should we all be looking for and also have of the public

21:28

know when you get east of

21:30

look as we find things out

21:32

in need of course it is that a geisha somebody

21:35

is gonna cope the little bit we

21:37

don't we don't want to show our a defiant

21:39

want to win this particular case particular can

21:41

tell you as we peel back the layers is

21:43

layers huge and make certain things public you'll

21:46

be one of the first the know

21:48

it's such an important development

21:50

in getting discovery like this is not

21:52

easy so this is like a big win for

21:55

steadily your office but for transparency

21:57

in general slash pressing cause i think when people

21:59

look at

21:59

the group of attorney general's on the republican

22:02

side right now you guys are blazing a

22:04

pass or federalism your reasserting

22:06

states' rights in an era where joe biden said

22:08

crate the biggest most bullying federal

22:11

government we've ever seen in american history it's

22:13

i know it probably wasn't your intention to say

22:15

i'm going to got revive federalism my day but this

22:18

is sort of what our founding fathers had in

22:20

mind it's what is it like to be on the frontlines

22:22

of kind of reviving one of the best ideas our

22:24

founding fathers and

22:26

look it is extremely exciting

22:29

and thrilling to be able to see the

22:32

, to move into shape of

22:34

the country back towards federalism where

22:36

there is a respect for the people in respect

22:39

the state sovereignty i think that's one

22:41

of the biggest thing that came out of the

22:44

dogs decision right which is the one it overturn

22:46

roe is that it looks like the supreme court

22:48

is taking an avenue under which you

22:50

know the federal government is good you doing it

22:52

may be forced to take a second seat at

22:55

the table and i think that is important

22:57

part of what the founders addition them you addition

22:59

constitution was the constitution to the people

23:01

would say the federal government's like a byproduct

23:04

and today we see just federal government you know

23:08

basically covering everything occupying

23:10

these to our field if it wasn't even

23:12

designed to do that and so it

23:14

is from the purchase a dirty joke that would get

23:17

to push back on on are you

23:19

on the growth of a centralized government which is what

23:21

many of our fathers had a head fear

23:24

there's no doubt you had a great opportunity

23:26

to speak at sea back your thoughts about the

23:28

energy of the conservative movement heading

23:31

into this election is a seem to be a lot of enthusiasm

23:33

last few days down in dallas

23:35

23:37

from that gray gathering

24:53

days ago there was an amazing up

and in the wall street journal the headline says

24:57

it all what if they gave

24:59

a war and everybody was work

25:01

it's aggressive i've been asking themselves

25:04

the move for political correctness and

25:06

liberal ideology in are fighting

25:08

forces is just been so devastating

25:10

in our next guess we'll

25:12

see also agree that bad captured it

25:15

perfectly his name is jimmy burn

25:17

he's a turley up student at yale law

25:19

a former us army officer former

25:21

military legislative aide to center of

25:23

tom cotton the and a board

25:25

member of a great nonprofit called vets on

25:28

duty jimmy great to watch him into the south

25:31

yeah based i appreciate things around me

25:33

you hit this one of the park i can tell

25:35

you the number of people the sense to me over the

25:37

last couple of days we see recruiting

25:40

down with see morale down and

25:42

as a former officer yourself

25:44

in the us military as he gets summarize

25:47

it more powerful any when i seen do it that

25:49

was what inspired the op ed

25:52

johnson will you know the last the

25:54

last couple years we've seen a number

25:56

of who's by the by the administration job

25:59

seemingly and

25:59

don politicizing a military with

26:02

some of the ideology that you're sort of

26:04

seen cropping up the last couple years

26:06

out of the ivy league as well as a corporate america

26:09

on and we're sorry to see the results

26:11

of these policies now and i did i

26:13

mention this in the article and i've and i've firsthand

26:16

in talking to several my

26:19

the colleagues are better injury that aca do

26:21

so

26:21

this number that are you tried

26:23

it weekend

26:23

the urban of and are saying out there are some

26:26

of them are telling their there are numbers not

26:28

to join the military because

26:30

they've seen a lot of these are political

26:32

move that a delay the last two years as

26:34

a signal that the no jury

26:36

has sort of gone the same way that we've seen

26:38

other institution in america

26:40

going recently which is embracing

26:43

you know add some of this a crt

26:45

ideology in some sort of

26:47

over the top gender activism i

26:50

n yoder believing that the military

26:52

doesn't have the best the best

26:54

you remind me in

26:56

in engaged

26:57

some of these policies and are telling

26:59

people not to join i to i

27:01

was very concerned about this and

27:03

then when i saw the recruiting numbers

27:06

popping up recently you

27:08

know this was an issue that i wanted to bring it before

27:10

it is that you know we even with the

27:12

challenging recruiting environment to withdraw from

27:14

afghanistan everything else you know

27:16

this this sudden drop in

27:19

favoritism toward the military by conservatives

27:21

in the last two years i don't think is a the

27:24

dog rather feature

27:25

have some of the use of policy

27:27

we've engaged and then i was concerned wanted to bring

27:29

to the fourth is pretty remarkable and there's

27:32

multiple things going on here that i found

27:34

fascinating and i think the army try

27:36

to do something to create a sudden all kinds of they reversed

27:38

he quickly they got rid of the high school graduation

27:41

requirement

27:42

the numbers and i think nbc news that out

27:44

recently as it's a number of people

27:46

can meet the requirements for

27:49

military service has dropped from twenty nine

27:51

percent just a couple years ago to twenty

27:53

three percent then the number of people are actually

27:56

applying down as much as forty

27:58

process little drop in the people the double

28:00

been a big drop in those even applying

28:02

i assume the application has to do with

28:05

the web this in the loss of proceeds are

28:07

military services suffering the

28:09

a lack of preparedness what's going on as

28:11

a lot of concern about physical fitness

28:14

about mental acuity or finishing this

28:16

school was going on there

28:18

yeah any i think it i did that's

28:20

a big part of it as you said you were

28:22

seen that of the small number of people

28:24

are actually eligible for military service only

28:26

dot nine percent of them are showing

28:29

any interest in actually joining the military

28:31

are some of this has to do with health health issues

28:34

in the we do have no teenage

28:36

obesity crisis in his treachery on

28:39

and a we also have a problem where you

28:41

know starting some schools or even cancelling research

28:43

you're not dot seen organizations

28:45

like the boy scouts or girl scouts you're

28:48

really doing is walls what they used to and

28:50

in keeping people are in shape

28:52

for young people in shape early in

28:55

added the military's having military's lot of problems

28:57

you know finding people and those

28:59

groups dad are

29:01

eligible for service or and

29:03

we've also seen a lot of increase in medical issues

29:05

as well on the last two years

29:07

people that inside stuff you know

29:10

do a coded a lockdown you

29:13

know getting on healthier and healthier by the day

29:15

and i think the problem is the military in such military small

29:18

number of people that kid and can pull from

29:20

traditionally of the

29:23

people that are disproportionately join the military

29:25

or happen to be for a mostly southern states

29:28

iron they mostly by tend to

29:30

privately lean more conservative

29:32

as conservative as mentioned in the article and

29:34

so a those people are no longer

29:36

becoming even interested in military service

29:39

even though they're eligible for it i

29:41

it's going to become a bigger bigger problem

29:43

for the military going forward of

29:45

fighting those people and and bringing them into

29:47

the fold or while they're also

29:50

pushing a lot of these these ideologies

29:52

i discussed earlier they're making these people

29:54

think that you know the

29:56

military just becoming another

29:57

the up over decided to to share dot

29:59

we want to be a bulb

30:02

any doubt in your mind or you had a great

30:05

term in your column called easy

30:07

recruitment that basically whether it's

30:09

seats gender pronoun sensitivity

30:12

training or the c r t

30:14

it's really what this is doing is is actually creating

30:16

the opposite effect and recruitment it's actually

30:18

making more people less willing to want

30:20

to serve in the military it's anti recruitment

30:22

as a real dynamic i now as

30:24

the i know i be i think it is

30:27

what are the things that we've seen coming out of the military

30:29

the last few years the crt training

30:31

idea infamous mystery

30:34

extremism stand down which focused almost

30:37

exclusively on exclusively on supremacy

30:39

and extremism on as was

30:41

a issues surrounding white privilege of

30:43

and and micro aggressions all

30:45

these things that

30:47

the military's bring into training

30:49

and making mandatory and in many cases

30:52

i

30:52

the bill is pushing these devices

30:55

very divisive ideologies and

30:58

on service members and you know

31:00

people who are looking to join they're

31:02

not looking to join to

31:04

you know be indoctrinated or or

31:07

be exposed necessarily to these ideas

31:09

and told her to follow them directly or

31:11

be told that you know if you walk

31:14

into a group of people in addressing these guys

31:16

are which is a pretty common everyday colloquial

31:19

thing date you know you're not

31:21

an ally to your fellow service member

31:24

i you know when they see things like that

31:26

i don't blame them

31:27

making you know raiders the is to the know

31:29

the a really need to be focusing on as

31:32

and you know should they be

31:34

focusing on fighting and one in the nation wars

31:36

would you can do without pushing this ideology

31:39

or an end to like am i going to happen

31:41

you know to qaeda the sort of stuff if

31:44

i'm privately or a conservative or

31:46

whatever else an hour and i will

31:48

have any recourse to be able to say

31:50

no to it especially when you're under u c o j

31:53

n f l things like that legally

31:55

an alter their he's a survey

31:57

i've had my eye on for many years as

31:59

a journalist

31:59

late nineties or with you thousands

32:02

i want to first started looking at it every

32:04

year the reagan foundation does

32:06

extraordinary thing called that reagan national

32:09

defense survey the new

32:11

reference one statistic in there that i think

32:13

is absolutely stunning and probably

32:15

get to the the number of people in

32:18

america who said in a great deal confidence in our

32:20

military spouse

32:21

one of my present their thirty four points among republicans

32:24

that is the largest decline ever detected

32:26

in the survey but here's another one that caught me

32:28

as i was reading it the other day again

32:31

the number of people under the age

32:33

of thirty which is right in that recruitment all

32:35

right

32:36

only thirty percent to thirty percent

32:38

actually have a confidence in the military

32:40

right now where the greatest fighting

32:43

force a metroid credit more good in the

32:45

world than any other country's military it's

32:47

how can we lose was proceeds that

32:49

quickly

32:51

the i did i think this is this is a

32:53

core a conglomeration of a lot of different

32:55

take that route the political they should

32:57

the military by discuss certainly been one

32:59

of them in a dragnet reagan

33:02

national defense survey that you mentioned

33:04

are one of most common reason that was offered

33:06

by respondents were concerned

33:09

about your cartridge military was actually

33:11

political leadership i'm in your in

33:13

your a a little bit of a drop

33:15

from one party or another

33:17

when

33:17

there were pregnant switches out but

33:20

i didn't as you said this was historic

33:23

i in the amount of people that

33:25

that dropped off in fact gallup even

33:28

came out with of survey recently our

33:30

they said that i'd neoconservatives

33:32

trust in the military specifically form or

33:35

another ten points over the past year

33:37

and an eight points for independent

33:39

and i think when you look at

33:41

you know or disastrous withdraw

33:42

we had our from afghanistan

33:45

the political station and military

33:47

recent add direction

33:50

of come up and how we have responded are striking

33:52

some instances

33:53

i don't people

33:54

the britain and kind of wondering you know

33:57

what exactly the military doing what

33:59

is it focused on

33:59

what do we stand out and

34:02

aggregate five million man hours

34:04

which the the pentagon actually said this number two

34:07

to congress recently when you spent

34:09

nine million man hours and half a million dollars

34:11

on or extremism training

34:14

i have an supposedly it only read it

34:16

out about one hundred people total of the entire

34:18

five million versus the a d ah

34:21

dad had any ties to extremism

34:23

we don't even know if there was specific to white

34:25

supremacy or dot ah you know

34:28

what are we doing we're we're putting

34:30

resources towards things that we don't need to

34:32

be focusing on ah whereas

34:34

we need to start looking at things like

34:37

updating our technology moralizing the

34:39

military making sure that our service

34:41

members are prepared to go to combat fight

34:43

when are you know regardless

34:45

of their race or religion or gender

34:48

already thing house so i

34:50

it's unfortunate that people are losing

34:53

eight and cabinet in the military such

34:55

an alarming rate

34:56

the particularly for republicans

34:58

there have been pre stalwart over the

35:00

years on supporting at an hour

35:02

hopefully we can turn that around here in the near

35:04

future is , that we

35:06

do so especially in such a turbulent

35:09

merlin it's russia ukraine iran

35:11

north korea we know we're

35:13

going to face an extraordinary challenge

35:16

and the global saved for the next decade to decade

35:18

see decades and all of

35:20

these things suggests that maybe we're not going to

35:22

be of us a cell are

35:24

need for an all volunteer army which is gonna

35:26

be really remarkable i expose

35:28

a good moment the last few

35:30

months the new movie top gun maverick

35:32

what i want to see loved it seem to do

35:34

a little bit to restore these people's

35:36

remembered says of the good old days when we were part

35:39

of the military and it's mission was

35:41

deemed noble it wasn't about when

35:43

you go correctness erase it was about protecting

35:45

american sovereignty did that help at

35:47

all you think

35:49

the euro i'm sure it did i mean i know that our

35:51

doc in the eighties that your the air

35:53

force in the navy saw a huge bomb

35:55

by in recruitment they're like i for

35:57

we should some sort of impact

35:59

i think they called the talk get effective i remember

36:02

correctly on on on

36:04

recruiting i was positive i know there were definitely

36:06

services that had ah recruiters

36:08

outside of the movie talking

36:11

maverick this time last year which

36:13

year which gray there are definitely try to

36:15

capital i bought in there join the right thing enjoyed

36:17

that

36:17

i want that movie and specifically

36:20

when you tube what you're talking about my

36:22

time service

36:24

if what you said i eat your no matter who

36:26

you were i know race gender

36:28

creed whatever it was you know

36:30

you want to each other mit some yarn

36:33

he looked at each other as a fellow soldier

36:35

or service number on

36:37

that was going to be watching your back when you

36:40

know you how to deploy overseas or go to contact

36:42

there were things i loved about that movie

36:44

was it was

36:45

that group of pilots that they haven't

36:47

movie they are incredibly diverse

36:50

you know they're stealing

36:50

highly you know others are

36:53

people different races and religions involved

36:55

in it

36:55

m the movie didn't have to elevate

36:57

afford it he did it very in a nuanced

37:00

way

37:01

and that's exactly how the military

37:03

does it it's they stick everyone together

37:05

and you figure it out and do you work

37:07

together towards the common goal i

37:09

thought it was terrific i think it will actually help

37:11

out because of that message that it gave that that

37:13

hollywood got away from

37:15

it sorted traditional bashing the military

37:17

actually i did something i think was worthwhile

37:19

yeah well thank god they finally

37:21

get it so important to get that ah

37:24

the south is a great supply

37:26

line farm credible volunteer military

37:29

as many as thirty to fifty percent of young

37:31

men and women from south carolina florida alabama

37:33

georgia well volunteer to go into our

37:36

armed services

37:37

those are red states politically red

37:39

states right now there seems to be a

37:41

lot of shaming of conservatives

37:43

does that and some way

37:46

just the political litmus test

37:48

has been going on in our country does that also you

37:50

think play into those states continuing

37:52

to find eligible records rest

37:54

yeah i need i definitely think it can

37:57

play into it on you know as

37:59

of said the article

37:59

i pick you know twenty chain

38:01

even the mid term elections are nearly forty

38:03

five percent of circus numbers that were

38:05

surveyed you know indicated they would back

38:08

republican candidates only dot twenty eight percent

38:10

favor democrats on and seem

38:12

to the veteran population and

38:15

allotted of your not surprising

38:17

you know skewed

38:18

which conservatism probably comes from there

38:20

we are are recruiting people

38:22

disproportionately from are mostly

38:24

southern and red state so i think

38:26

that a lot of this you ,

38:29

shiny a conservative than a lot of to these

38:31

pushing be be

38:33

left wing progressive ideologies i talked about

38:35

is gonna make it harder for them to find people

38:38

are in some cases and somebody stage arm

38:41

and it's actually your one thing that came up recently

38:43

i thought was interesting or the i know the army

38:45

was toying around

38:47

draft policy about

38:49

that's basically service numbers

38:51

asking to be relocated

38:53

from one base to another if they were living

38:55

in a state laws they disagreed

38:58

with

38:59

i don't think that's been passed officially

39:01

yeah that i'm not sure what the final

39:02

the result of it as i'm the

39:05

you know if you've really got a question out

39:07

a why was that policy put in place

39:10

to begin with begin with like it's very

39:12

politically charged a d you

39:14

know if service members are asking the leave the

39:16

state

39:17

or these are aimed towards states

39:19

with conservative legislatures are governors

39:22

your what are you telling know stage about

39:24

near the wording s of their service members to

39:26

protect the country i am

39:28

also telling him about the work you know whether or

39:30

not service members that are on active duty right

39:32

now

39:33

or are going to be willing to protect everybody

39:36

and not just you know the states where they agree

39:38

with the political ideology on

39:40

so i figured you'd make it harder and particularly

39:42

policies like that

39:44

patch doll on the outta nowhere

39:46

to know where we go from there i to change that

39:49

very suspect to me and probably should have never been

39:51

brought up in my that it's really really

39:53

remarkable it's mind boggling their

39:55

you mention afghanistan as want to drill down on more

39:58

time because obviously you served in the military

39:59

the armored officer for the us

40:02

army that moment sent

40:04

a lot of shockwaves see the very people

40:06

who

40:07

would want to serve i think they felt

40:09

like their service was honored

40:12

by the way we action is beyond

40:14

retention and recruitment what other

40:17

negative effects to you think the afghan withdrawals

40:19

going to have

40:20

on american security american military

40:22

readiness over the next decade

40:25

well a you know one of the things that

40:27

i think is is going to be greatly affected and

40:29

this was related are particularly to the on

40:31

the assassination of elsewhere eerie recently

40:34

a couple days ago successful strike the we

40:36

are launched on him on him

40:39

you know i , i i

40:41

commend commander by demonstration in command

40:43

i there are intelligence collection or

40:45

intelligence community rather i am

40:47

the military for that successful strike

40:49

but no one of the things are really highlights forces

40:52

that are you know and out the major al qaeda

40:54

leader was sitting inside a personal villa

40:57

or the taliban leader who only

40:59

months ago was part

41:01

of the haqqani network which was

41:04

network which or or and i should say insurgent organization

41:06

that was albert i'm telling ya service members

41:09

and you know he felt emboldened enough

41:11

to walk out on a balcony and abdullah

41:15

that he was being given that safety and

41:18

i had a makes you wonder you know who else

41:19

that is hiding out in afghanistan

41:22

that the child and beginning cover to

41:24

or any in you know the fact that

41:26

we left afghanistan in a way that we did

41:29

and we pulled so many ads time

41:31

you were pulled really all of our troops out of

41:33

there are it made the job of

41:35

of counterterrorism people he has significantly

41:38

harder this over the horizon counterterrorism

41:40

operations on that we pulled

41:42

off is no easy feat

41:44

our n

41:45

without having people on the ground actually

41:48

are you know figure out what i'd organizations

41:50

have moved into that that he and that's been created

41:53

on we really could see ya potentially

41:55

hopefully not as potentially a resurgence

41:57

of terrorist activity ah yeah

42:00

they're here and i could yell potentially i

42:02

know the kids are us targets overseas

42:04

or even at home offer that doesn't happen

42:07

and i think

42:08

it's relation to the military

42:10

the writing service members will continue to

42:13

be focused to some degree on those

42:15

are ideas but we also have to my

42:17

net yards or let your potential adversary

42:20

that we may as if is now and a china russia

42:23

is , also digger fighter we're gonna have to

42:25

continue to prepare for the so it's gonna

42:27

take away some of this an

42:29

increase counterterrorism operations to take away

42:32

some of that focus that we should be

42:34

bringing towards china and russia another adversaries

42:38

it , going to make it a little bit harder for

42:40

the military to to remain focus when they're

42:42

try to play terror whack a mole in afghanistan

42:44

sam yeah hopefully that have

42:47

said that doesn't manifests itself but i'm a little

42:49

bit concerned it's going to the now that we pulled out

42:51

the way we did there's no doubt about

42:54

that some

42:55

the military folks from intelligence old

42:57

said the situation has worsened really

42:59

really quickly

43:00

jimmy you do some great work for an

43:02

organization called that's on duty or real quickly

43:04
