Iraq Army Veteran Brandon Burns Shares Root Problems in the Middle East

Brandon Burns argues that Middle Eastern culture remains stagnant due to a lack of education and internet access, rendering local force training futile as seen in his 2006 Iraq service where IEDs killed soldiers while civilians continued daily routines. He criticizes the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan as a catastrophic error allowing terrorist resurgence, contrasting it with the permanent presence in South Korea, while condemning media lies regarding women's rights and LGBTQ+ persecution. Burns further attacks domestic policies, including Las Vegas school bans on patriotic clothing and federal vaccine mandates, ultimately urging Americans to fix internal issues rather than intervene globally before promoting Mike Lindell's merchandise.

Generational Ignorance and Hope 00:08:36
Yeah, got a new show for y'all.
Got a damn good show.
Yeah.
But before it starts, show, tell them, Keith, how can they sport the twins?
Man, Kevin, you tell them.
No, man, you would you shy?
Hey, Chris, what we got?
You can always sport the twins by buying you a patriotic t-shirt I had today.
Maybe a white privilege card, maybe a new race card, or maybe some beard products, or maybe a sign to warn the lefties before they come in your house.
Yeah.
Damn the discount code.
Delta.
Because that shit is spreading everywhere.
Get 20% off.
Delta.
We got a damn good show for y'all.
Yeah.
Y'all seen what's going on in Afghanistan.
Y'all always hear the stories how the U.S. military has trained over 300,000 soldiers.
I think that's what, 60% of the population of Wyoming?
Right?
But for some reason, the Taliban, the soldiers just quit, and the Taliban just took over.
300,000 losers.
Y'all seen Spartan 300, right?
300 people was able to kill all them people?
300,000 couldn't defend their country.
Right.
So we got a guy first time.
He was in the army.
Yeah.
And he's got some time over.
I'm going to let him explain to you what's really going on.
The cold hard facts.
Brandon.
How's it going, guys?
Mr. Brandon Burns.
He's a patriot.
Hey, let's give him a salute.
I appreciate you, boys.
Thanks for watching.
Hey, how's it going, guys?
My name is Brandon Burns.
I'm former United States Army.
I serve with the 4th Infantry Division.
I was in the 1st Battalion.
I was also a weapons specialist and Artillery Ford Observer.
I did serve in Iraq in 2006 on OAF 3.
I was also there during the Battle of Vermadi.
My father was also an Army drill sergeant, did 25 years, multiple tours.
Him and I actually even served in the same war zone.
We were both in Iraq six months apart from each other.
I was wounded when I was there.
I was in the same vehicle when my lieutenant was killed.
He was hit by an IED.
We lost over 11 guys in my battalion.
It was a very bad time.
If you know anything about the Iraq war, 2006 was very rough for us.
Afghanistan, of course, I was in Afghanistan, but I'm going to tell you guys right now, it's damn near the same.
You know, we all served in the Middle East and it was pointless.
I'm going to tell you right now, me and a lot of guys, we feel exactly like the Vietnam vets.
Like we went over there and did something for nothing.
We knew this was going to happen.
You know, we pulled out of Iraq and it went right back to hell.
You know, I don't know if everybody's seen this video.
We saw the video of the Afghanis holding on to planes trying to escape the country and they were falling and dying.
And a lot of people were asking me, why did they do that?
Why did they not know they were going to die?
I have been there.
I'm telling you, these people are not educated.
They don't have internet.
They don't have TV.
They don't have access to information.
They are basically like farmers and cavemen.
And these people are.
Them cavemen.
Cavemen are.
Cavemen with camels.
Cavemen with camels and AK-47s.
And I'm telling you, these guys literally think it's like a flying train.
They think if they hold on long enough, they'll be able to make it.
You know, they literally had no clue that this was actually going to happen to them.
So it's not that not, so it wasn't that they were so desperate.
They was just a, well, they're desperate.
But they're amazingly ignorant.
Very ignorant.
And it's sad to say, but it's a massive lack of education.
No, when I was there, you know, we were in a lot of firefights.
We were hit by multiple IEDs and we were also part of training the Iraqi army to be able to take over their country.
And I'm telling you, this was literally like training kids and farmers who were given AK-47s and basically saying, here, you're going to be in control of the country now.
And it does not, and it did not work.
It's like that whole culture is just stuck like 690 BC, 690 AD.
Easy before Christ.
Don't before Christ.
Use your bells.
That's a no-win situation.
It was absolutely bullshit.
So that's what happened.
They just.
So you're telling me like when they were training them, they're just like, man, this is just a waste of time.
It is a waste of time.
Let me give you an example.
I was there in a Humvee one day, sitting on a 240 machine gun at one of their bases, and we had three mortars land about 20 yards from me in the base, like three mortars, 60 millimeters, boom, boom, boom.
These guys are literally walking around with their shirts off and sandals and half uniform, and they're just eating their hummus, walking around like this is, we're like, get down.
And they're like, they are used to this.
It's not even a big deal to them.
They've been fighting like this for thousands of years.
You think that we're going to change this in 20 years?
Yeah, you're never going to change it.
This takes generational changes.
I mean, I've told people, listen, most of the Arabic culture, they are peaceful people.
But these small percentages that are violent, they're speaking for your culture.
It is your guys' job to change them.
It's kind of like Twitter.
That's just a liberal shithole.
That's not the electorate right there that's being voiced on Twitter.
It's ridiculous.
But it's always the most ignorant people that's given the biggest platform to speak.
It's always been a case.
That's what's wrong with the black community.
They're amazingly ignorant.
The celebrities, they get the platforms, and then everybody else is silenced.
Remembered for the bad.
My father always told me something.
It always stuck with me.
You know, kid, you can do all kinds of good things right in life.
You're going to be remembered the most for the bad than the good.
And that's exactly what's going on with these terrorist organizations.
And it's sad.
We're seeing women being burned alive and piles of bodies being stacked up now, just like it was a couple of years ago when the Taliban was in control.
It's going to get worse than before because now we have no presence there.
And they brought our weapons.
It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
I know when we're going to countries, more often than not, we stay because we need to stabilize that region.
I'm starting to think, I know Trump said he was going to pull out and Biden just followed his direction or whatever, but I'm starting to think, I mean, it wasn't an act of war zone.
Nobody was dying.
It was stabilized.
Why in the hell did we pull out?
You know, I really can't speak for what he's doing, what he's doing.
I mean, there's got to be some kind of bigger thing going on.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
Like, I kind of would like to think that America is not the world's police.
You know, it's your country.
It's your government.
It's your job to fix it.
But at the same time, we kind of are the world police.
We kind of have involuntarily became that position.
And if we're going to be the world police, then you need to stick to it.
We don't leave innocent people behind, regardless if they don't share our views.
There is hope.
There's always going to be hope.
I mean, I tell what the Arabic culture, look at Dubai.
There's where I'm seeing styles of hope.
You know, you can still have your religious beliefs, but we can start to adopt Western society, you know, and come together.
But unfortunately, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, they are generations away from this.
And they don't know what it's going to take.
I mean, maybe they need to be given information.
Maybe they need to be given access to the internet.
They need to see that the world is not what they are.
Yeah, I think Afghanistan is like when you see like how big tech is controlling the narrative, that's what's wrong with Afghanistan.
I mean, you got one party rule.
Education is not a big thing.
You got people jumping on planes thinking it's just going to take them wherever they need to be.
They're only being taught one way of life and they don't have really an option to choose what type of life they want to live.
And I think that's why that should be highlighted about what big tech is doing in this country when you only get one point of view.
That's why these people are so lost.
That's why you're either a terrorist or a coward in that country.
Absolutely.
That's the reason.
Wow, 300,000 people.
300,000.
Just walk around in flip-flops and just...
Just like nothing.
I mean, it's crazy the lack of technology that they have there.
I really describe them as kind of like cavemen.
I mean, these guys are walking around with their IDs, and some of these guys are 65 years old.
And the idea is a picture of them when they were 12.
That was the last time they've ever had a picture of them taken.
I mean, I had an interpreter when I was there, and one of the number one things he always wanted from me was to print the pictures of the stuff that I took because they just don't even have access to that.
You know, I like to compare this to Korea.
You know, Korea, we know massive dictatorship, but we're seeing a massive change in Korea when the people are starting to flip.
And why is that?
Because they're finally finding out the way the rest of the world is.
They're getting cell phones.
They're getting secret internet.
They're getting secret computers and they're learning.
This is not the way the rest of the world's acting.
That they have a choice, that they can change.
And they need that too.
Yeah.
That's why that area of the world is just so messed up is because they're being taught one thing and one thing only.
Absolutely.
The culture is just, I mean, it's like you would never see, you never go to that country and see people wearing Nikes and board shorts or tank tops or Nike t-shirts.
Political Awakening in Korea 00:07:26
Same.
Same, get up.
It's ridiculous.
Dude, they even got just VHS tapes down or fucking cassettes.
The food is horrible.
The water is horrible.
I mean, the inbreeding is crazy.
Inbreed.
Just talk about the goats.
Don't even.
I've seen some shit.
You see some goat.
No comment.
I've seen some stuff, man.
I've even seen IED stuffed in goats.
Share it.
All right.
So I was also a gunner on the M3A3 Bradley.
Actually, I joined the Army when I was 17 years old.
I was halfway through high school.
I was in sophomore, and I decided this is not for me.
I'm going to the military.
And my father and my mother signed me off.
I actually ended up breaking the United States Army record by being the youngest and lowest ranked person to ever be a master gunner on the Bradley system.
I beat the entire 1st Battalion of the 4th Infantry.
It was crazy.
You know what I was doing when I was 17?
I know what it takes.
But anyway, so we have something called FLIR Vision.
It's a camera that can see in heat vision, either white hot and black hot.
And I'm telling you, I'm on this mission one night.
And we got, I'm looking right through the binos and then white hot.
I'm seeing this dude.
I can't understand what he's doing because he's next to a donkey.
I shit you not.
This mother effort, he puts a crate behind the donkey and he gets up on that and he goes to town at that thing.
And I'm surprised why the donkey ain't kicking the shit out of him.
And then I realized this donkey's probably used to this.
It probably happens all the damn time.
Like, it's disgusting, man.
A donkey?
A donkey, man.
A donkey.
Don't knock it till you try it, man.
Man, you know what those things smell like?
Yeah, it's like, hey, freedom of choice.
Yes, it's flies all over.
You're going to go up inside of that?
It's sad, man.
It's so sad.
It's disgusting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, caveman.
Let alone what they do with the little boys out there, man.
You know, we did a lot of Blackhawk insertions in which we captured people that we thought to be insurgents and we'd tag them, bag them, and we'd take them to the prisons inside Camp Taji.
And, I mean, we lock all these people up in the same building, whether they're kids or adults.
And we would hear boys screaming at night of how the guys are just raping them.
I mean, it's crazy.
It's bad.
Like, they use women for like slavery.
They have multiple wives.
This wife does the cleaning.
This wife does the cooking.
And then they use the boys for pleasure.
Like, it's horrible.
It's horrible.
That is just.
And this is not like this is commonplace.
This is not like rare.
No, that's common.
It's very well.
Like, if you've been in the service and been over there, you've all seen it.
We've all heard of it.
We have all heard the stories.
We know this is true.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's bad.
And these are the people like when we go in there.
Yeah, you're going to protect this country from Afghanistan.
And you can't even protect all the people from themselves.
No, you can't even protect them from themselves.
They have to want to help themselves.
So like that is a third world country.
So when Biden said he didn't see this stuff coming, that's all bullshit.
Of course that's bullshit.
How do you not see this coming?
You just did it in Iraq.
We just pulled out of Iraq and they went right back to hell.
How did you not know that was going to happen in Afghanistan?
You're just lying to the people by it and you know that's the truth.
And the thing that it pisses me off, man, it's like that his constituents, mainstream media, oh, look, he owned it.
He said, I mean, they're not even criticized.
I've seen MSNBC was praising him, said he evacuated like 50,000 people out of this country over the last week.
They was congratulating, said he was doing a great job.
The media.
Horrible.
I mean, let me tell you something.
You want to look at a measure of a man?
Look at his son.
Yeah?
Want to talk about that?
Okay, you guys know what I'm talking about.
Maybe story.
But it's ridiculous, guys.
I mean, us veterans, we feel like we're stabbed in the back.
Yeah.
Yeah, because a lot of people lost their life and now you just pull out.
It's like all that.
What was it?
Was for nothing.
For nothing.
I mean, I was in the Bradley when my lieutenant was killed and the explosion was so big.
It flipped a 33-ton tank, Bradley, upside down, and it crushed him in half.
And we saw that.
And we saw it with a lot of them.
For nothing.
It was awesome.
For nothing.
A loss of life for nothing.
Honestly, like, in my opinion, other than maybe the Korean War, the World War II was the last real true war for human life.
Everything else has been for political BS.
We fought against true tyranny in World War I and World War II and the Revolutionary War.
Every war after that has basically been a joke.
Yeah.
It's horrible.
Yeah, it's our government, our politicians, man, it's just these are the people we're electing and they don't have our best interests when it comes to heart.
God, we need to have turn limits on senators.
I think that's one of the biggest problems we have right now.
Yeah, we got some people that's been in office like decades.
Yeah.
And they've lived millionaire lifestyles and they have security.
And their cities are run down.
They don't know what you and me are living like.
They don't know what people out there are living like.
They don't work the nine to five minimum wage job.
How are you going to act like you know what's best for us?
You don't.
You don't live like us.
You're the 1%.
The 99% is what you need to be thinking about.
Yeah, politicians too busy telling people what they want to hear than telling them what they need to hear.
Absolutely.
That's politicians in a nutshell.
I know when our founding fathers wrote the Constitution, Bill of Rights and all that, I know they didn't foresee anything like this.
Our country would look like this.
The power that our politicians have over our daily lives, it was never intended to be like this.
No.
The laws of man are flawed.
I mean, of all the countries in this world, the power corrupts people.
Oh, absolutely.
Easily.
And if you look at the Bill of Rights, the Bill of Rights are the closest laws that I've seen in this world that are the closest to the laws of life.
I mean, if we go back, you see, even a couple hundred years or even a couple decades, it used to be law.
You had to burn a woman because she believed in science.
You know, it had to be a law to do the stuff that we would think is absolutely unthinkable now.
You still have a lot of laws in place that need to be changed.
We need to focus on the laws of life.
Yeah.
Our schools need to be revamped.
Half the things that we go to school for, we don't even need.
Oh, it's ridiculous.
You should be teaching the trade.
I mean, it's all kinds of things you can learn to school.
Just life.
Just life.
Yeah, yeah.
The teachers right now are obviously being very political.
I mean, Shadow Ridge High School here in Las Vegas, the principal, this happened yesterday.
She was going around telling all the students, you will not wear American flag stuff.
You will not wear red, white, and blue.
You will not wear Republican agenda stuff.
And it caused a protest where several students last night actually showed up with trucks with American flags, hats, patriotic stuff.
And they're at school right now.
My daughter's in the same school.
Channel 8 News is over there right now doing a report on what just happened.
Just for wearing a flag?
Just for wearing a flag.
She walked up to a couple of people saying, you will not wear American flag stuff, Republican stuff, or Trump stuff.
So this is just a teacher.
This is the principal.
This is the principal of the school.
And the principals in Las Vegas, Nevada are strictly in charge of the policies to include mass mandates and the vaccines.
They're forcing their own political agenda.
And that's not their place.
You guys need to teach the curriculum.
You keep your political opinions to yourself.
That's not too much to ask for.
You know, when I was a kid, I was in a class and one of the teachers, this was during one of the times when Bush was being voted in.
And I was trying to ask him, like, you know, just curious, like, who did you vote for?
Who did you vote for?
This teacher was die-hard about never letting me know his political side and never letting me know his opinion.
That's how it needs to be.
Keep your opinions to yourself.
teach the curriculum and let the kids make their own choice.
Yeah, politics shouldn't even be, it should be nowhere near our schools.
The kids, they should just let them be kids.
Just teach them science, social studies.
Yeah, just social studies, how government works.
It doesn't have to get political.
It doesn't have to be political.
You don't have to teach them what, conservative or liberal or any of that.
We're all Americans.
Teaching Kids Without Politics 00:09:18
Yeah.
I want to touch on how they treat women in the Middle East.
I mean, I've seen like some of the current administration telling, no.
It's like they're talking to the Taliban.
No, they're going to change all that.
You know, treat women.
They're going to be representative in their government, their new government.
And I mean, what do you say to that?
What did you say?
They're just absolutely lie.
They're just telling the news what they want to hear.
If the news believes it, they're absolutely lying.
I mean, I saw that video how we're going to treat the women equally.
A video yesterday in Afghanistan of a woman being burned alive because she's going against what they believe.
You know, I was there.
They have to cover up their face.
They have to cover up all pieces of their skin.
They're beaten.
They're hit.
They're stoned to death.
And very few times were they ever able to take their burqas off.
And sometimes when I'd see their face, almost every woman has scars and cuts on their face from being beaten their whole life or burned.
You know what, Brandon?
I don't know much about the Muslim faith, but I asked some Muslims and I said, what's with the women's attire?
You can't even see it.
Sometimes you can just barely see the eyes.
And he said to me, he said, that's to keep the men from straying away from their wife.
I said, what do you mean?
He says, well, when you see a woman's body, a lot of men attempted to cheat on their wives.
I said, but that's not the woman's fault.
It's the man's fault, right?
So do you think that's right?
He said, that's rooted in our religion.
It's what we believe in.
That's BS.
To say that I see a woman and I'm going to stray to your own body.
You're your own human.
You make your own choice.
That tells you right there.
That's society.
If a woman's raped, it was her fault.
That's like a woman walking down with her half of boobs hanging out and big buttons.
She wants to be asking for it.
Yeah, she's asking for it.
It's so wrong.
And we all do.
Can you recall anything like what you actually seen while you was in Iraq, like how women are treated?
So yeah, I actually...
Just like little nuances people may not realize.
This was crazy.
So, you know, not all of them are violent.
You know, some of them actually really were for us when we were there.
And I had a woman come out once.
This was a guy who actually was one of the town leaders.
He had about seven wives.
And one of the ladies come out and they gave me a shot of chai tea.
And it was very common for them to give us little shot glasses of chai tea with like half sugar mix.
It was like a ceremonial thing.
Right.
And she runs up to me and she offers me a drink.
And the husband saw her give me a drink.
He comes back, he grabs her by the hair and pulls her inside and starts beating her and puts her in the building.
And I never saw that woman again.
And I went to the same town many, many different times after that.
Wow.
I don't know what happened, but I never saw her again.
That is crazy.
It was crazy.
So it's like just like jealousy, huh?
I don't even know.
It's just their culture.
They just are slaves.
They're slaves.
I'm going to say it like it is.
They are slaves.
They are second-class citizens.
They're not even seen as humans.
They're there to be used.
Servants.
Yeah.
Servants.
I mean, just by looking, I mean, I don't like to put down other people's beliefs, but I was like, that region of the world has its problems for a reason.
It's that culture is what they believe in.
It's like, I mean, I understand you have a religion, but same thing with Christians.
Sometimes they, you know, they just become radical.
It's just that faith and that whole way of life is just wrong.
It is.
And we're not affecting anything.
You know, I talked to a lot of guys who worked out at Creech Air Force Base, Nelson Force Base, and they're on the Predators.
They're on the drones.
And they're talking to me about some of the stuff that's happening there.
And I'm like, think about it like this.
You know, I see a terrorist who's on the hit list and we're going to drop a missile on him.
And we dropped that missile 25 yards away from a bunch of kids.
All right.
It doesn't kill the kids, but what did the kids see?
They saw the American people drop a bomb on three guys and blow them up into pieces and their bodies go all over the place.
What is that doing to those kids psychologically?
You think that's bringing them together under a common cause?
Just created five more extremists by blowing up three.
Right.
You know, one of the most horrible things that I ever saw there, I was, uh, I was in a town called Horabash, Iraq.
It was right outside Camp Taji.
Horrible, man.
Was that close to Bakalaka?
Yeah, man, very close.
If you take a left, it's about three clocks down.
But yeah, this day, I see this guy coming around the corner, and he was a suicide bomber, and he decides he's going to run right at me and try to blow himself up.
Well, thank God for me, he messed up.
He blew himself up.
Now, I'd seen this guy before, and he had a kid, and he didn't get close to me, but he blew himself up, and he's all over the floor in pieces and bloods.
And I see this kid run around the corner, not knowing what just happened.
It was his son.
This kid ran and slipped and fell in all of his father's entrails and blood and parts.
And he got up, stood up, covered in blood, and he realized who it was.
He realized he just fell in his dad's body parts.
He took off running away, screaming and crying.
One of the craziest things I've ever seen in my life.
Yeah, why would you do that to your son?
It never happened in my unit, but these parents would give their kids grenades and say, go give it to the American.
They would sacrifice their own kids and blow their own children up.
They would stuff bombs inside goats and horses on the floor and wait for you to drive by a goat and it would blow up.
Trash bags.
We're not fighting a war.
We're not fighting soldiers in uniform.
We're fighting boxes and trash bags and bombs buried under roads and snipers.
I always wonder, it's like when y'all out there, how do you determine who's the good guys and who's because they all look alike?
You don't.
There's no way to determine.
We've had people who were on our side who turned on us.
Another unit I was in, they had an interpreter turn on them and try to blow them up.
And he worked with us for months as an interpreter and then he switches and tries to blow you up.
Wow.
It sucks because you just don't know.
I mean, all you're doing is you're watching body language.
That's all you're doing.
You're trying to see, are they staring at you?
What are they doing with their hands?
Are they holding a cell phone?
You're just looking for gay diamonds.
Yeah, basically.
Basically, you're trying to understand them psychologically and thinking, is this person acting normally or are they acting like an enemy and they might try to do something?
So when you was out there, you see all this.
I know it had to run through your mind.
Why the hell are we even out here?
These people are just lost in a time machine.
I can't say for sure why we've done what we've done of trying to be in the war.
I'm thinking it was to destabilize that area and keep the whole globe alive.
A lot of people think oil, right?
We're there for money.
You know, America, we got a lot of freedoms and everything, but let's be honest.
America sometimes are bullies.
And it's because of the people who are running the country.
They're bullying other countries with our military, the greatest military in the world.
You know, it is what it is.
But it's just insane.
I mean, I can't even express like we did nothing.
We did nothing when we were there.
And I was 20 years and lost and lost Afghanistan in what, maybe, what, 12 hours?
Easy.
And all these soldiers out there, Marines, airmen, you guys all know this to be true.
We weren't there fighting for our country.
We weren't there fighting for freedom.
We were fighting for each other.
It was the guy next to me that's fighting for you.
You fight for me.
Let's get home.
That's what we were fighting for.
Yeah.
You know, that's just a sad bit of truth of it.
It is.
It is.
Maybe one day there'll be another major war.
Who knows?
Yeah.
World order.
That's the next direction.
Man, if there's another major war, that's going to be some nukes.
Well, you know, Einstein says, I don't know what World War III will be fought with, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
Yeah, I get it.
I get it.
The third one just blew each other out.
Now we all duck a duck a baker lock a locker.
I'm going to hit you in the head with this damn.
We're at your food storage.
Yeah.
Right, right, right.
Sure destruction for sure.
And I mean, I think like people have lost their lives in that area, like their families.
And they got to be like, man, I lost my loved one over absolutely nothing.
I mean, I still think they're all heroes and they died for something that they believed in.
Of course.
But for a cause.
Just looking back on it now and you can see what's going on.
Yeah, my lieutenant had two kids, and he was two weeks away from going home before he was killed.
Yeah.
Knowing all these stories and all the sacrifice people made, and looking at how we pulled out, I don't think we should have never left.
If the major reason why we was out there was to keep the whole entire globe a lot safer, why the hell did we leave?
Because it was stabilized.
People wasn't dying.
Even the Afghan people were better off when we were there.
Just to pull out and see all these kids and these women dying.
You're screwed if you do.
I mean, you're over there fighting somebody else's battle.
I mean, it's just like, it's like a no-win situation.
We should have treated it like Korea then.
You should have just had a permanent base, never should have left.
Maintained that presence.
You can give them a school and start teaching their kids different, but I don't know, man.
The school's against us.
You know, one of the things we had to do was we had to provide security for schools and give medical aid.
So I showed up to a school one day.
And again, I'm always a gunner weapon.
So I was on top of the Humvee, that machine gun, and snipers were waiting for us because they knew we were coming to the school.
I had two snipers on the roof, me on the 40 and another guy on the 50.
And man, such a bad day.
IED blows up, hits the medic vehicle, sends her flying.
There's rounds going right over my head because they're trying to hit me and the other guy.
My gun failed.
It didn't actually work.
Four light primer strikes in a row.
So I just brought out my AR and I saw the guy who shot him once in the hand.
His hand was all dangling.
I told the other Humvee to go get him.
They grab him out of the building and we have the interpreter ask him, what happened to his hand?
He's like, oh, I cut it on a fence.
His hand's all half gone.
I know he didn't get caught on a fence.
I just shot him.
Ridiculous.
Ridiculous, man.
Snipers at the School Gate 00:11:46
They're not even good liars, huh?
They're not even good liars.
Yeah, like, okay, so they have schools.
I'm like, who's teaching the schools?
Is it like kind of like the blind leading the blind?
They'll have like a couple of teachers, but we're talking one teacher teaching 80 to 100 kids at a time.
How are you going to get information across?
Yeah.
You can't.
And then half of them don't show up.
Think about the kids and families who their dad just died in an explosion or an attack.
How do you go to school after that?
They don't.
What do these women do when they no longer have a husband?
And then they really become second-class citizens because now there's no husband to kind of essentially watch them or protect them, even though they're slaves as it is.
I'm taking this woman freely out there.
It's like free meat for somebody to just mess with and grab.
And you know, and people point these things out on social media and then you have these lefties, these liberals saying, stop talking down to them.
Like, that's just the truth.
Yeah.
That culture is just wrong.
And the sad thing about it is most people are never really going to truly understand it until they've gone to that country or witnessed it.
You know, everybody in America, all they're concerned about with is their television shows or what food they're going to eat that night.
And then they believe what they see on TV.
Well, I see this person on the TV all the time.
He's famous.
Whatever he's saying must be true.
It's not, guys.
I canceled cable television before I went to Iraq in 2005, and I've never watched TV since.
And my life has been better for it.
So now I can think for myself.
Right, right.
Yeah, a lot of people don't realize that the TV, the media, they're not there to inform you.
They're there to push that narrative, their propaganda.
Of course, they don't get it.
They don't tell you to think.
They tell you how to think.
Come on, guys.
You guys know these news organizations are owned by billionaires.
They're being funded.
Of course, they're going to listen to the guy paying their check.
This is what I believe.
Make sure you tell them this.
Don't tell them otherwise.
Otherwise, you're going to get fired and lose your job.
Yeah, it's like everybody don't want to think for themselves anymore.
They'd rather have someone tell them what they're doing.
No, the sad thing is they think they're thinking.
They ain't.
They think they think it.
They're just sheep.
They think they thinking.
You guys really have access to all the information in the world at your fingertips if you will truly look at the information and search for it.
Yeah, and I tell people, don't believe everything you see on Fox.
Don't believe everything.
You bet not believe anything you see on CNN.
MSNBC.
I mean, you should get, whatever you see, you should get a double, you know, another response, another opinion.
Should never look at the TV and just depend on that one person to tell you what's going on because they all have an agenda, a nerve they have to fly by.
Like they keep saying on the right, we're all sheep and we're in a cult.
Look at it this way.
We're in a coat.
Yeah, we're in a coat.
But look, Trump's administration came up with a vaccine.
And I don't want to take the vaccine.
It's because I'm not sheep.
I'm not a member of a cult.
If I was, I would take the vaccine.
I don't care if Trump autographed the damn vial and needle goes in me.
I'm still not taking it.
Look, and he got it, right?
Yeah.
What would have happened if Trump would have been in office and he would have mandated the vaccine to everybody?
Oh, man, he's the damn dictator.
How would people be thinking now?
Well, Biden does it.
It's okay.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just come on, guys.
You know that's true.
Think about it.
Even if you are a Democrat and you saw Trump saying mandatory max mandatory vaccines.
Well, before the vaccine came out, Kamala Airbus, like, I ain't taking that vaccine.
No, I'm not taking it.
But then Biden's in office.
Oh, yeah.
Let's because they were going to politicize it.
Use it against him.
Uncle Joe.
Yeah.
You know what's crazy, man?
I'm getting pissed.
I've been pissed.
Preach.
I got to ask you guys, like, what's up with the Taliban look right now?
I mean, you guys can mix right in.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, black people say, I hate being black and I'm trying to look white, but now I just look like the Taliban.
Yeah.
Just put on a little hat.
You'd be like, you're blending right up.
All I need is a turmoil bucket locker locker.
Dirker, Durker.
Dirker, Durker, Durker.
Where's the goat?
Take a little trip out to FBA.
Yeah.
No white privilege cards.
Yeah.
I mean, damn.
Yeah.
Back to what we were saying.
If Trump would have came out and started mandating all this, I'm like, man, you crazy as hell.
Crazy as hell.
I voted for you, but I'm not going to.
I mean, it just...
I would have been against him.
Trump actually kind of, I think he mentioned he got vaccinated.
That pissed some people off.
It did.
Because I'm like, you already had it.
Why'd you take it?
Yeah, right.
But it's his choice.
It's kind of like if I'm a freedom of your own choice.
So I left it at that because I'm not anti-vaccine.
I'm all about you taking the vaccine.
You get what you want.
Yeah.
I'm not anti-mask.
I don't want to worry.
I know if I'm breathing air, I'm breathing a virus.
Yeah, right.
You know, if you breathe in air and you can breathe air freely, it's not protecting you.
Of course.
You look at these people working with these extremely deadly diseases.
They have on suits that's supplying its own oxygen.
It's not even being filtered from it.
Those people look like they're going to the moon.
Oh, yeah.
That's ridiculous.
But we walk around with that and our eyes wide open.
You walk around with a little blanket on your face.
I think Joe's hanging out.
Yeah.
Even wearing it properly.
Doing all this.
We used to where people come to Spartan Arms Gun Shop and they're wearing gloves and they're wearing masks and they're wearing shields.
And I watched the same guy grab the door and open it, grab his cell phone, grab a bunch of guns, then touch and wipe his face.
Do you even understand anything about pathogens and how to actually stop it?
Everybody thinks you breathe it in, you pick it up with your fingers, you rub your eyes, you breathe in.
More often than not, you're going to pick it up with your hands because you touch everything.
It's ridiculous.
And you scratch your eye all of a sudden, you got COVID in you.
At first when COVID came out, at first when COVID came out, I was washing my hands and everything.
Oh, yeah.
Man, that shit got a lot of shit.
I got tired of, I got touched up, man.
I just want to die.
Because you don't realize it until you touch stuff.
You're like, okay, you got to watch that.
I take this.
I got to wash my hands.
After a while, it's like, man.
Yeah.
I just.
The mask is very, if it's doing anything, it's doing very little because your eyes is wide open.
It says right on the N95 mask.
And then it will not stop it.
It says it right on the box.
It will not stop it.
Yeah.
That's why when I hear about the mask mandates, I'm thinking it's more of a control thing.
I think it's more of a training thing that, hey, trust your government.
If I can get you, yeah, they groom me.
They groom me.
They groom you like pedophiles groom kids.
Yeah.
That's what it is.
Or like gay people when they try to groom straight people.
Man, why'd you have to take it down?
It's crude, man, but you can't say it.
Yeah, it's true, man.
I worked in retail, man.
These gay people, man, always, hey, man, I know you.
Um, I know you're straight, man, but uh, I'm telling you, man, you just best blowjog comes from another man.
I was like, really, why is that?
He said, because I got a mushroom tip.
I said, that's a damn good argument, but you still ain't sucking me off.
You're just jealous that gay guys want to sleep with him, and that's all.
They just think he's more attractive.
I mean, what's that meme going around?
Like, if I can smell a fart through the mask, and working.
Speaking of gays, how gays treat it now?
We kind of forgot about them, didn't we?
Let's go.
We talked about women.
I know what secret.
If you're gay out there, you got to be secret because they will.
I've actually seen a lot more gay people or be out in the open, and I'm friends with a lot of gay people.
And honestly, they are some of the nicest and best people I've ever met in my life because they've already been discriminated on.
They already know the separation.
And now when they see somebody who's willing to accept their lifestyle, it's crazy.
Honestly, I got a lot of gay friends.
I'm comfortable with who I am.
I'm straight.
I have two daughters, but I always mess with them.
Yeah, you got to put that disclaimer out there.
Straight guys, but I mess with them all the time.
Like, hey, I was gay.
I'd go gay for you.
You're my type.
Come play.
Come play.
What do they say?
Don't knock until you try.
I still ain't trying it.
That butthole is not made for that.
Daddy, that's on a woman.
So there you go.
Hey, man, why are we going here?
Let's get off.
Well, you took it there.
I just had to say, hey.
He started.
He just finished.
You know, I've noticed a lot of gays.
Chief don't like buttholes.
Well, I mean, that's personal choice.
Yeah, that's all about it.
Freedom of choice.
No, man, you need to do it.
It's crazy.
Hey, so we talked about women out there and we talked about that culture.
And like, if you're a homosexual, I know that's got to be a death warrant out there.
Oh, yeah.
It's bad.
It's bad.
Which is crazy because a lot of them actually are.
Like, a lot of guys actually sleep with the guys.
Right.
But they can't be open about it.
But they are.
Which is weird because they do it, but then when their religion finds out, the higher ups, like, try to kill them.
And it's just ridiculous.
So, like, the pastors come out.
Well, you did what?
Basically, it's like, you got caught.
All right, we're going to kill you.
Like, even though that dude's probably sleeping with dudes too, but he didn't get caught.
So they don't got to kill him.
That's crazy.
So just contradicting everything that you guys say you are.
Hypocrites.
A bunch of Democrats.
Bunch of them.
A bunch of them.
Cavemen.
Y'all need some conservatives over there.
They need some help.
They need help.
Durker, durker, durker.
Conservatism.
That's what you need.
Just send them more donkeys and goats.
Maybe they'll chill out.
I don't know.
Yeah, man.
What do you do with that area of the world?
I mean, it's done.
It's done.
Just don't.
Here's my opinion.
If you want to fix this area of the world, stop sending in these little half-asses units one or twos at a time.
Just fucking send as many people as we can there at once and fix as much as we can at once and stop as much as we can at once.
Just the maximum amount of units that we can send, get them over there.
Make a campaign.
Go hard.
Go strong.
Get what we can done.
And then leave a presence there after that.
That's what happens in a society.
If you have a lack of options, you have no independent thought.
I mean, you're doomed to live like what's going on in Afghanistan.
Or maybe for once we just stop worrying about the rest of the world and we work, worry about the problems that we have in this country right now.
We focus on that.
Ain't that the truth?
Yeah.
I mean, what do they say?
You can't love others if you don't love yourself.
You can't take care of others if you don't take care of yourself.
Then let's take care of our damn country first and what we need and what we got going on.
Stop worrying about the rest of the world.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's true.
You know, let them do that.
Let them do their own thing.
When you come here messing with us, just blow them up.
There you go.
Blow them up like Salamani.
Try to get close.
Boom!
Yeah.
All right.
Thanks, Brad.
Thanks for the insight, man.
What happened in Afghanistan?
Yeah.
So just, I mean, you just confirmed everything.
I mean, Biden's administration.
I mean, that's not a leader.
Just lies.
But the left supports him in.
If you, there's 81 million people.
Well, they say.
No, it was 81 million people voted for that.
That's what I'm saying.
They're saying 81 million people.
I mean, y'all got to feel kind of stupid right now.
No, they don't.
They think he's doing a great job.
Yeah.
I've seen quite a few Biden supporters even coming out and be like, bro, we made a mistake.
You think crazy?
Yeah, you did make a mistake.
Hey, you know what?
That's what you should have said, though.
You're crazy.
You think you made a mistake?
Hindsight's a bitch, ain't it?
Hindsight's a bitch.
Like somebody said to me, there's like, maybe Trump was supposed to lose.
Like, maybe he needed to lose so they could see how bad they were going to fuck it up.
Yeah.
Good.
Good.
Sometimes you got to take a couple steps back.
Every cloud has a silver line.
Hey, man, I was finna say something.
I like that, though.
Every cloud has a silver line.
I was going to say, sometimes you got to take two steps back before you can take two steps forward.
It doesn't go like that.
Yeah, it dude.
Sometimes you got to take two steps back and take one step forward.
No.
Some shit.
What is it, Brian?
I sound like George Bush in there.
Come on with the clean shirt.
I'll tell you right now.
I'll tell you right now.
We take two steps back and we take a whole ass leap forward.
That's what we're going to do.
Yeah.
Whole ass leap.
There you go.
Make that.
There you go.
Spoken like a real patriot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Mike Lindell, true patriot.
He needs our help.

Yeah.
And they support freedom of speech.
Yeah, I don't support companies that's just that don't support this country.
Yeah, I don't support companies that don't value other people's opinions.

Yeah.
