*Music*
*Music* welcome to In the Trenches with Teddy Daniels.
That was a little Blake Shelton today.
Kiss my country ass.
That's what I like to tell everybody in politics on both sides of the aisle.
Folks, I don't play the political game.
I just refuse to do it.
So, folks, when we start, I have to thank our new sponsor, Four Patriots.
Folks, a food shortage could be coming even in the U.S. You know, Bill Gates is saying, we're all going to have to eat bugs and fake meat now.
Economic experts wrote at the end of the summer crop season about this food shortage.
Farmers sense it too.
John Boyd Jr., a fourth-generation farmer, told Fox News that we're going to see empty food shelves in the coming months.
Folks, you saw with this scandemic how everybody rushed to the grocery store, emptied the shelves, the whole nine yards.
Folks, create your own stockpile of the best-selling Four Patriots survival food kits.
It's not ordinary food, folks.
We're talking good-for-25-year super survival food.
Handpicked right in a family-owned facility in the USA and giving jobs to over 200 Americans.
These kits are compact, sturdy, water-resistant, and stack easily.
And folks, let me tell you, Guys, I wouldn't call myself a survivalist.
I call myself a realist.
You know, I have a go bag that is ready to go at any time with ammo.
Guys, I have more guns in my house than the local National Guard armory, so I've got a few of those in my go bag.
I've got ammo.
I've got cases of water.
I've got guns.
I'm not going to tell you what kind.
I've got guns.
What else do I have in there?
I have a first aid kit.
I have gas masks.
I have extra socks, folks.
As an infantryman, you always take care of your feet.
Extra socks.
Boy, what else do I got?
It's one of these huge duffel bags.
Knives, batteries, a radio, and I have the survival food from Four Patriots.
So, they have different delicious breakfasts, lunches, dinners.
You can make these meals in less than 20 minutes.

I love 4Patriots.
A lot of their stuff, folks, I'm a big hunter.
I travel around the country.
I hunt.
Let me tell you, I throw a pack or two in my backpack when I'm out hunting because, folks, you never know.
Okay?
Preparation is key.
You see what's happening in this country.
You see the crazy stuff that's going on.
Having a stockpile of food ready to go is essential for everybody out there.

Yeah, y'all know what time it is.
It is time.
But in the trenches with Teddy Daniels, I am Your host today, the Black Mamba of the Airwaves.
Been with y'all week, holding it down all week, and I thank y'all, man.
I appreciate everyone that's been in the house supporting me all week while I sat in for Teddy Daniels.
And thank y'all for watching the show last night.
I was fired, a doctor, and Dr.
Petey and Amariska Ogots from South Africa tonight, or today, rather.
We'll have another veteran like myself.
I ran for Congress last time in 2022.
Sort of got screwed by the RNC, by Kevin McCarthy.
And the likes of the Republican Party.
But he's coming back.
He's coming back in 2024, y'all.
He's coming back in 2024 to run again for Congress in Ohio's 9th District.
I'm going to bring y'all, bring him in now.
Mr.
J.R. Majewski from Ohio, congress candidate, congressman candidate, congressional candidate from Ohio's 9th district.
How you doing, brother?
I'm doing good, man.
How about yourself?
Hey man, I'm doing fabulous.
Thank you very much, man.
Welcome to the show.
Welcome to the show.
Thanks for having me.
You know, for those people that may not know J.R. Majewski, he won his primary last time.
He went up against a Democrat, a Marcy Kaptur, I believe her name was.
And he has some issues with, I don't know, if the Democrats did it, J.R., or did the Republicans do it to you?
I'll let you talk about that.
I'm sure you know what I'm talking for.
Yeah.
Let me come out with all this garbage.
He is an Air Force veteran, served in 1999 to 2003, earned his bachelor's degree in 2006.
So, I'm going to let J.R. Majewski tell you who he is and bring him in and let him tell you.
In 2024, right now, he's running against Republican Steve Lanikow, Craig Rydell, and Daniel Wazinski, I believe his name is.
I'm not sure which one of those is the establishment...
Rhino candidate, but I'm sure there's probably two or maybe all three in there to try to take J.R. down because just like me, they don't want someone like J.R. Majewski in Congress because guess what?
We actually might get some shit done.
We actually might actually file and not just talk about it, not just call it Uh, impeachment week and announce impeachment, but from day one, not 120 days later,
from day one, like a lot of these candidates promised, Joe Biden would have already had articles of impeachment filed against him, and so would Mayorkas, and so would freaking Kamala Kackos Harris.
Okay, so go ahead, JR.
Tell us who you are, man.
Tell everybody who you are, and let's get into it.
Let's do a deep dive.
Sure.
So I was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio, I know, Jerome, I think you were born in Cleveland, right?
Yeah, man.
I'm a Cleveland man.
Sweet homeboys.
Yeah, you're right.
Well, Cleveland actually was in the district before, but with 2022, they had redistricting.
Unfortunately, the state legislature and the redistricting committee couldn't come to an agreement.
We had a rhino judge in the Supreme Court that kept siding with the Democratic Party.
They were, as you probably know, Eric Holder has been championing an effort across the country to meddle with redistricting committees in various states and Ohio was one of them.
And so long story short, they came to an agreement on a map for, I believe it's just good for two to four years.
I get conflicting stories, to be honest with you.
But needless to say, last cycle, the map flipped from a D plus 16 to a R plus 2.9.
And I had a really tough primary, highly contested.
I beat Craig Riedel, who was a state representative, and Theresa Gavron, who was a state senator.
No one expected me to win but myself and my team.
We won through a lot of hard work, getting out, talking to people.
It didn't hurt that I had already had some name recognition by virtue of being a staunch supporter of Donald Trump.
We hit the ground running.
We did everything that I would expect someone who I would vote for, how they would behave.
And we didn't have big-time consultants, didn't have big-time fundraisers, went out and actually shook hands and talked to people.
And so after the primary, we went into the general election against Marcy Kaptur, who is the now the longest standing member of Congress in history.
This is her 21st term.
So 41st year.
And we were doing really, really well.
To give you an example, you know, I Marcy raised millions of dollars and I didn't I didn't catch on to the fundraising until probably the last quarter.
And in doing so, we raised a little bit over a million dollars, but Marcy had raised three.
And then Marcy had, you know, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat super PACs came in.
And when you look at September 21st, which is when they launched this hit piece against me about my military career, If you were to look at polling at that point in time, we were plus or minus probably two points.
Some polling had us down, depending on who you looked at, some had us up.
But the fact of the matter is Marcy Kaptur started running media on me in June, the month after our primary, ran millions of dollars of ads, hundreds of thousands of dollars of ads per month on every media outlet from here to Cleveland.
She actually participated in the Cleveland market.
Despite that, we were still, you know, highly competitive.
And on September 21st, I got calls from the Associated Press, and, you know, they essentially gave me a four-hour window to answer a multitude of questions.
I'm in the car on my way back from, I think I was meeting with Ryan Zinke and Seal Pack, and I was on my way back to the district because we were having a Lincoln Day dinner, and Kim Klesik was coming to the district to help me out, and she was our featured speaker.
And I was stuck in traffic.
I was already 30 minutes late, right?
So I'm trying to answer their questions.
And long story short, they took a clip of a podcast that I had done last year, or the year prior, with a friend of mine named Chase Geiser, who runs a show called One American Podcast.
And Chase is not a military veteran.
And he asked me a simple question.
Did you serve in the war?
I said, Yeah.
I said, which one?
Iraq or Afghanistan?
I said, Afghanistan.
Now, myself, like many other veterans, you know, I have a DD-214 that is highly flawed.
And My DD-214 didn't even say that I deployed during Operation Enduring Freedom.
It said nothing.
It was silent and all that.
But in the Associated Press's interactions with the Air Force, the Air Force acknowledged that I deployed to Central Command in Qatar, and they said where JR went from there, we do not have visibility on.
They described my job, and they said that, you know, it was highly plausible for me to fly in and out of that location all the time.
This is the Air Force.
This is what we do.
Right.
I mean, just like the SEALs, they don't know where the SEALs go, you know, because all of their missions, it says worldwide, because I used to transport the SEALs, you know, being in the Navy, we used to transport the SEALs all the time.
And on their documents, on their Transport documents.
It would just say worldwide.
It never said where they would go.
So no one really knows where SEAL Team 6 has been or 5-4 because people don't need to know that because it's highly classified.
And with your job in the Air Force, it was like that as well.
Yeah, I mean, to a degree, right?
It's more of, if I were to give my assessment, it's more of an administrative thing, right?
We're talking 2002, right after 9-11.
We're one of the first groups of people on the ground, and our job is to mobilize these different forward operating bases, right?
Many of us just got orders cut to cutter, and where we went from there, that was the commander's decision on the ground at that point.
That stuff wasn't documented.
Maybe it was, and maybe it's just not available to me or the public.
Who knows?
What I was able to provide the Associated Press was my deployment checklist that said that my location was classified.
I provided them with all those answers.
They continued to twist and turn that.
They said, well, he's saying it's classified like he's some secret agent.
That wasn't the case.
I was showing them verbatim what the military provided me.
Mind you, I'd been out of the military for 20 years.
I was a kid.
I was a 19, 20-year-old that just was trying to serve the country.
I didn't make a career out of the Air Force.
I went in because I was a troubled child.
And, you know, I needed, I mean, trouble in, I would say, a disciplinary way.
I was, you know, bad at home.
Didn't get arrested or anything, but, you know, my dad dusted my pants when I needed them dusted, right?
But, you know, I needed some discipline in my life, and I knew that.
I was that self-aware.
I decided to join the military and it put me on the path to be the man that I am today.
After the service, I finished my master's degree and I started a career in nuclear power.
I ended up spending Nearly 20 years in nuclear power.
I started off in physical security, carrying an M16. And I worked my way into leadership where I was running billions of dollars worth of projects.
I was in charge of the spent nuclear fuel for multiple reactors across the country.
So everything that I've achieved in life, it's always been a challenge.
It's always been something I had to work for.
Nothing was ever given to me.
Sounds familiar.
Yeah, it's the theme that resonates with everyday, you know, America First people, whether we're candidates or, you know, whether we're voters or people that are just tired of what's, you know, the trajectory of the country.
But, you know, they...
They launched this smear campaign and I ended up, ultimately I ended up losing the election by 13 points.
And there was a period of time there where my campaign was highly reliant upon the Republican Congressional Committee that was led by Tom Emmer and Kevin McCarthy.
They ended up polling a million and a half dollars out of my campaign.
If you were to ask them, they would say that I was competitive in the polls and they were redistributing the money to another race in the district.
That's that lie they use.
It's hard for me as a candidate to argue with because it does look as if they pulled the money and moved it.
Because the fact of the matter is because I you know I watched interviews of you and and I'm sure people watched interviews of me when we were asked were we you know a vote for Kevin McCarthy for Speaker of the House and and you know and I said no and I believe you said no too you know that you weren't a supporter of Kevin McCarthy so all of us if you look down the line you look at all of the candidates that um said that we were not vote for Kevin McCarthy for Speaker of the House that they came in they took money Like,
you know, like for me, they put in over a million five.
And to my opponent's, you know, bank account, you know, Kevin McCarthy's Congressional Leadership Fund done $450,000 in one day when I was kicking her butt.
And, you know, in fundraising, you know, and then after that, then all of the PACs came in.
You know, that's how they do it.
One person does it.
And then, okay, so now all of the PACs come in.
You had at least a fine against Steve Scalise.
You had, you know, you know, just all of these guys.
You know, coming with their packs and their money, you know, and that's, and you know, people don't really understand that that could shift in election because of the fact of ads, you know, because ads are so expensive.
Radio, you got TV where, you know, your opponent captor was, you know, like you say, 100,000 of ads a month because she had this bankroll And, you know, people see that, you know, it's like that Operation Mockingbird stuff, and you see things, and, you know, and even though, you know, you don't want to, you know, pretend like, you know, it's committed, it's subconscious, so, you know, they run these ads, they run these, you know, and it's like 24-7, 24-7, and you can't compete with that because you don't have the money, and that's sort of what happened with me.
You know, even though I raised like $560,000, I wasn't able to compete with the $1.6 million ads, which was my primary But you did make it out of the primary, which was good.
But when they took that money from you, that was definitely the death sentence for your campaign.
Yeah, I mean, what it boiled down to is that the average Republican voter in the district made the assumption that the money was pulled because of the military story.
And I truly don't believe that that's the case.
The reason I say that is because after that, I still had a fundraiser and Chairman Emmer came to the district, Jim Jordan, All those guys that were part of the NRCC apparatus in some shape or form, they still supported, right?
So I think there's a lot of things that went on.
I'll never know the truth, but at the end of the day, there was fallout from that.
The Congress actually launched an investigation.
They found that The Democratic Congressional Committee paid an opposition research firm hundreds of thousands of dollars and they stole my social security number and then used my social security number to fool the Air Force into believing that they had my permission to access my entire military personnel file.
And so if you kind of look at the, you know, the Delineation of information that came out, right?
The Associated Press asked me, you know, why I, because I, you know, I got out of the service at a lower rank than I probably should have.
And that's because I got a DUI. And I've never been dishonest about that.
You know, when you look at the details or the context, right?
So I'm in Japan, in Okinawa, where the blood alcohol content level legally is 0.03.
And in the United States, it's 0.08.
And I went off base, went to a buddy.
My buddies had a band, and they were playing at a local bar.
I had a couple beers, and I was driving back to the base because we went into a typhoon condition, right?
And I'm sure you know that when you're in Asia and you go through that typhoon condition, what's your responsibility as a military member?
Get your butt back to base.
Get your butt back to base, exactly.
I've been there many times at Atsugi and different bases in Japan.
So I'm coming back to base.
The military police officer says, where have you been?
Why weren't you on base?
I was having a couple of drinks with my buddy's band.
We didn't know.
It was a Japanese place, and they finally told us as soon as they told us we left.
And they said, have you been drinking?
I said, yeah, I had a couple beers.
So they pulled me out of the car, did the breathalyzer test.
I blew a.05 something, okay?
If I had been on base, I would have not gotten a DUI because the blood alcohol content on base was.08, okay?
But because I was coming from off-base onto the base and...
You know, there had been a series of DUIs and the base commander set a precedent of zero tolerance.
And the police officers were looking, you know, for that actively by virtue of a direct order.
So, you know, they did their job and, you know, they gave me the breathalyzer test and I failed it.
And so I took accountability for that, you know, and I worked really, really hard to try to, you know, Build back my credibility.
I mean, it was a slap in the face, but my commander and my first sergeant, all those folks, they knew what my blood alcohol content was.
They knew that I wasn't extremely irresponsible, but that didn't take away from the fact that I needed to be accountable.
You know, one other thing that I did, I got in a fight in the dormitories.
You know, there was a big fight between a bunch of people and I got, I was in the middle of it.
I wasn't starting it.
I got attacked.
And, you know, the AP would see that because they illegally got my records.
They'll see all the, all the NJP stuff, right?
Yeah, all the character statements that said, JR got attacked by a guy that was like five times the size, you know?
So when they asked me, so when I got punished, Both of those things were kind of rolled up into, not necessarily one, but, you know, it was like the window was very short.
And so I'm thinking to myself, like, all right, they're asking me why I lost my rank.
And in my mind, 20 years later, I want to give the testament of what is the worst thing that I did.
And the worst thing that I did was engaged in that physical fight.
There was no excuse for that.
The drinking two beers and driving back to base...
That was stupid, but I still, in my mind, to this day, I think I was still acting responsible.
I think if I would have stayed off base for another 30 minutes, I would have been...
You would have been fine.
You know, when they ate some chicken adobo or something, you would have been okay, man.
Exactly.
Exactly.
You know, hey, hold it right there, man.
We're going to take a small break so Mike can pay some bills.
Folks, I want to talk to you about Gold Co.

Okay, welcome back to the show.
We are in with Dan Majewski.
Candidate, Ohio District 9.
He was in the middle of a story of, you know, what happened?
What happened?
Things that they used against him during his last election.
Something that could have happened to all of us.
I know it definitely could have happened to me because I've come back through that gate or those gates in Japan many times after having more than two beers.
I'll just say that.
So it could have happened to any of us.
Probably a different time when it was more accepted, I guess.
People weren't getting in trouble.
Soldiers and Marines and sailors and We're not getting in trouble in Japan and the Japan people and the Japan politicians and legal law enforcement and all that good stuff.
The government wasn't cracking down as much or complaining as much.
Alright, so we're here.
You can go ahead and finish with that, JR, with the story.
Go.
So, you know, when I responded to the AP when they asked why I, you know, I got out of the service at a much lower rank than they would expect that I, you know, I gave them the story of me getting into the physical altercation.
And unbeknownst to me, they had my records.
They had everything.
I didn't know that.
So they came right back and said, oh, well, you lied about, you're lying.
You received an Article 15 for a DDUI. And my response to them was, yeah, I did, actually.
And I gave them part of the story.
But at that point, they thought, well, we have this aha moment.
You lied to us.
We're going to run the story as if you're some huge liar.
And in my mind, we're still in discussion, right?
And so when they launched the story, I responded with a bunch of documentation.
I gave them all my pay stubs from my deployment that showed that I received imminent danger, hostile fire pay.
I then showed them how, you know, that qualifies me as what's known as a combat veteran, according to the Veterans Administration, who actually owns that definition.
And what that did is then, you know, that sparked some veterans to come out in support of me.
But then there was a faction of veterans that came out and, you know, started attacking me.
And, you know, if I were to take a stab at my way of describing that, it's that the military and the Veterans Administration calls thousands of veterans combat veterans.
General Franks ran the war.
And, you know, I would wager if you ask a Navy SEAL or a Force Recon guy or a beret or something, was General Franks a combat veteran, they would say absolutely yes.
And General Franks didn't step off most military installations while he was there.
Neither did other...
All you have to do is be in theater.
You know, for everyone listening that may not understand what JR is saying, all you have to do is be in theater.
And this is included in theater.
I'm about to tell you.
You fly an airplane through the airspace...
Okay of a combat zone or a combat area of operation and you fly through and you fly back out you are a combat veteran according to The Veterans Administration, you get combat pay, right?
You know, for that month or whatever because it's a 30-day cycle, right?
You get combat pay for that and you are entitled to that because you are a combat veteran because you are in the zone.
You didn't have to pick up a rifle.
You didn't have to shoot a bullet.
You didn't have to step your ass off the base or anything.
Like I said, I had to fly through the airspace.
You know, so the people that were actually stationed there, the people that were actually on the ground there, they definitely are in the zone because they could always, you know, anything could happen.
Missiles, you have, you know, drone attacks, you have attacks on bases, you know, so that's why, you know, cover a big wide area.
So that's for people that really don't understand, you know, what an area of Operation Combat Zone is.
And even the base I was stationed at in Qatar was considered in the AOR, right?
But what it really boiled down to is that some of the combat veterans, the frontline, the combat action folks, They were upset.
And, you know, it really boils down to them having, you know, they're dissatisfied with the label of combat veteran and how that has been broadly dispersed.
I have no dog in that fight, okay?
Right.
You didn't make the rules.
You didn't write the policy on that.
Exactly.
When I go to the VA and they tell me I'm a combat vet, when people are...
I mean, I'm not running out for accolades, right?
I'm...
I'm a highly paid executive in the nuclear power industry.
I am not telling people that I was John Rambo.
There's no benefit for me, either in my personal life or professional, for me to do that.
And even on my campaign, I didn't You're not a Senator Blumenthal who's still a dollar, but they have nothing to say about him, but he's a dollar all over the place, right?
And I'm buddies with guys like Teddy and Colonel Scheller, and most of my friends are special ops guys.
I mean, they know.
I'm bigger than most of them.
I don't have to pretend that I'm some tough combat guy.
I never had to have that chip on my shoulder, but I understand their frustration.
I'm the type of guy that the truth is the truth.
Just because you don't like something doesn't mean that I don't make the rules.
There were some combat vets that wanted me to just say, I'm not a combat veteran.
I wasn't willing to do that.
I wasn't willing to just not say that I am.
And so it was highly frustrating because I'm a man of principle.
But at the same time, I did have some empathy for those guys.
I do understand.
But The military has, you know, decorations and awards for combat action folks, right?
Combat action badge.
And it's unfortunate the way things were labeled and the fact that they feel disparaged because I think, you know, the guys that served on the front lines, they deserve a little bit more.
Absolutely.
And if having a differentiating title or acknowledgement serves that purpose, then I think they deserve it.
But that doesn't mean that I tried to ride on their coattails and take credit for something that I didn't do.
And that was the message that was perpetuated by the left.
And despite everything that I provided them, all the things that I did, I even had a friend of mine who left the service as a master sergeant who we started in the service together.
You know, he did an interview, and after a series of questions, he decided that he didn't want to do it anymore.
And then we had to talk him back into it, and he's watching the media destroy me online, and he's like, I don't want my identity out there.
So we had to do like an anonymous interview, and every media outlet got to see his paperwork.
They got to know his name.
They saw his driver's license, all that.
Only two or three media outlets published it because it took away from the left's narrative.
And so they ignored it.
And so all the work that I did, man, all the fighting, all the standing up, you know, the time spent, you know, they didn't just try to destroy me politically.
They tried to destroy me professionally.
And that said, you know, after losing the election in November, I had a dark two or three months, man.
Never knew what depression was like.
I never really had been a depressed person, but I was pretty depressed for a while.
It took a lot of time spent with my family and getting back into the swing of things and a heck of a lot of time, man, at church.
Yeah.
I'm a totally different person today than I was last year.
And I come to the realization that if I didn't run again, regardless of the outcome, if I didn't run again, then everything that I stood on last year was a lie.
Because I knew what I was getting into.
I knew that I had a clean background.
I knew that, I mean, look, to go inside a nuclear power plant, you have to have this extremely rigorous background check.
And I was getting drug tested monthly.
I was, you know, all this other stuff.
I was a...
I was what you would call a picture-perfect citizen.
I didn't drink, I didn't do drugs, never been arrested.
You know, I live a really, really modest lifestyle.
And I'm very active, always have been active in the community, always been a guy that helps people in need.
And, you know, to have them tear that down, my reality, and turn it into something that it truly wasn't, was pretty devastating.
And so, you know, I... I look back at the race with a critical eye.
What could I have done differently?
And, you know, to tell you the truth, I sat there for 20 some odd years knowing that my DD-214 was inaccurate.
And, uh, You know, I didn't think that it would matter if I had been to Afghanistan.
I didn't think it would matter if I had a global war on terrorism middle.
I didn't think it would matter if my paperwork said I deployed for operation during freedom or any of that.
I didn't think it would because I had gone out.
I'd gone the college route.
You were only in for four years.
You were there for four years.
And like you say, you were a young man.
And when you get out for four years, you think, I'm not going to worry about that.
That's past in my life.
You didn't think then that you would be running for Congress in 2022.
And so you never thought to get it corrected.
You never thought to make sure that all those ducked through in a row because it was something basically that you had forgotten about.
Right.
But...
You know, in the land of manhood, right?
You have to take accountability.
You have to find opportunities for accountability.
And what I've come to the conclusion is that I should have made sure my records were accurate.
Not for them, not to avoid This, you know, story, but because I deserve it.
I served in the military.
I served during operation during freedom and I did a lot of good work.
You know, I deserve to have paperwork that says what the heck I did.
And so does everybody else.
And so This should be more of a testament against poor administrative processes from the Veterans Administration, from the Air Force, from every other branch of service that allows a young man or a young woman to leave the service without an accurate depiction of the sacrifices they made.
Big or small, right?
In combat or not.
Serving in the military is tough.
I don't care if you're a line cook or a Navy SEAL. Ninety-some percent of Americans couldn't pass basic training.
And the follow-on schooling that you do after that, that's another challenge in itself.
And so people deserve the accolades for doing that.
Instead of using this as political warfare, my opponent, who is my congresswoman, should have actually, if she was politically savvy and didn't rely solely on her ability to spend money, she would have acknowledged or maybe blamed me for the line, but then taken the higher road and said, well, I'm going to help you as your congresswoman to get your records updated.
That's the right move, but Well, that would be the right move, but Democrats never make the right move.
You know, they would never come and help you because that would be almost proven like you were right.
And, you know, they never want us, right?
So I know people watching all over the nation and you're in Ohio and, you know, being elected congressman.
Of course, you're a congressman for your district, but you are a congressman for the entire United States because you vote on laws that affect people.
In the United States.
So, a lot of people that watch this show, they want to know, you know, where you stand on these things, okay?
Where you stand on Ukraine, where you stand on the border, okay?
What would you do in Congress that maybe not, you know, being done?
Where do you stand on the election, election integrity?
Okay, so those are probably the top three things.
And where do you stand on the debt limit?
Because that's a big thing, you know, raising the debt limit.
So those are probably the top four priorities that people really care about and want to know what would J.R. Majewski do as a congressman.
Well, I think, you know, and I'll walk every question back, you know, with respect to the debt ceiling.
You know, there's a lot of talk about, you know, if we don't approve an extension, if we don't raise the debt limit, we're looking at crashing the economy.
Newsflash, the economy's already crashed, but go ahead.
I don't see how things could get much worse.
You know, we have other countries around the world that are extremely...
We're highly indebted to us, and their debts aren't always being paid.
And as I recall, President Trump actually motivated quite a few of them to start paying their debts.
But I look at it like this.
We need to stop funding.
And this actually kind of transcends into the Ukraine question.
We need to stop funding foreign wars if we can't even take care of You know, seniors in this country, veterans in this country, the homeless, you name it.
There's a lot of people here, right here at home, that are in need.
Ukraine is not a part of NATO. Many European countries aren't participating in funding this war.
We're being reactive.
And, you know, military mindset, as I'm sure you have, and, you know, even from my professional mindset, you always want to be proactive, not reactive.
And that's what we do every step of the way.
We're always reacting to a situation rather than controlling it.
And with Taiwan is another example in China.
We've been talking about Taiwan for months.
Have we mobilized the Pacific Fleet yet?
Is the Navy over there yet?
Absolutely not.
Joe Biden is actively working to retire Navy vessels prematurely, right?
Yeah, they're still learning how to deal with pronouns.
He's actively eroding our ability to not only defend our country, but help some of our allies in need.
We haven't mobilized, even though we've been talking about it.
We're still focused on Ukraine.
I believe, if I'm not mistaken, we spent more the first year in Ukraine than we did in six or seven years in Afghanistan.
To me, The more money we give to the Ukraine, the more we're emboldening Zelensky and the Ukrainians to believe that they actually have a chance.
I thought it was pretty telling over the first few days of that war when it started.
Because when Russia started to move into Ukraine, my company, we had employees at the nuclear power plants that were over there.
And Russia actually actively took control of one of the power plants.
And so in my position, we, you know, we were all, you know, on high alert because we had American civilians over there that were helping Ukrainians with some of their activities there as a part of knowledge share and knowledge transfer throughout the industry.
And so when I saw 30 or 40 year old Russian tanks in the Ukraine, My mind was, you know, Vladimir Putin is not sending his best.
No, not at all.
And he still hasn't.
He's trying to bait other countries to see what they're going to do.
And I think that some of us in this country fell for that hook, line, and sinker.
By giving more money to Ukraine, all we're doing is empowering and emboldening them to continue a war where innocent people are dying.
I don't think that it's right that Russia invaded another country, but You know, at this point, the train has left the station.
Now we need to do what's best for, you know, the innocent men, women, and children that are there.
And that's get the war to stop.
We should be negotiating.
We should be, you know, getting world leaders together.
And, you know, we have a president in this country that can barely read from a teleprompter.
How can we expect him to negotiate a ceasefire?
So those two things combined, that's really my position.
I think if we don't pull in this frivolous spending by not only the legislature but the executive branch, we're going to default at some point in time.
Like President Trump said the other night, you know, you're going to do it sooner or later.
So you might as well do it sooner than later because it's going to happen because we just keep, you know, dishing out dollars basically to black holes because we never get it back.
And, you know, to me, the bottom line that I believe is this, is that we have so much dirt and so much corruption going on in Ukraine since we participated in the coup to take down the duly elected president of Ukraine in 2014.
With that coup that we can't stop because they're still trying to hide bodies.
They're still trying to hide secrets over there, the Hunter Biden stuff, the Joe Biden stuff.
I mean, the Barack Obama stuff.
We have all this stuff coming out now, the money laundering stuff, the FTX. You have so much stuff going on.
And this is why I think they're going to prolong it because you have Republicans caught up in this stuff, too.
You know, you have, you know, Kevin McCarthy's Congressional Leadership Fund caught up where, you know, that and the other one for the NRCC where, you know, money was flowed there from Sam Bankman-Fried, who, by the way, is still walking free.
And we have J6 prisoners that did nothing wrong, rotting in D.C., but I digressed.
But we have, you know, so much.
And if you look at that, you know, you talk about that President Putin, a lot of people talk about that President Putin You know, should not have gone into Ukraine.
Well, you know, when I put myself in his shoes and any other leader, you know, when I warn you not to do something like putting this country that's on my doorstep into NATO, that that's a no-go, you know, and that would be an act of war.
Because I don't want anybody on my doorstep.
That's just like having the CCP right down in Mexico and in Canada, which they happen to be, actually.
But he told all of the NATO countries that that's not going to happen.
If you do that, if you keep pressing this, then I'm going to have to go and do something.
It was more than that.
You got biological labs over there.
You have nuclear labs.
I heard some other things that had not been released yet about the nuclear production that was going on over there as well.
So, and Putin has not released his greatest army.
If he wanted to, he could have took over Ukraine and had this war over, you know, in a week.
You know, really, really in a week.
But like you said, he's baiting the US. Keep spending money.
Keep breaking yourself while we are backing our money.
Buy gold while we're now using the wine and not using the dollar.
So, you know, Putin is smarter than a lot of people give him credit for.
He's letting the U.S. break ourselves on something that, you know, we can't win.
Ukraine can't win that war.
And they never could have never have, you know, and then, you know, all the propaganda.
Oh, Russians has lost 87,000 and Ukraine only 20,000.
Well, we find out with the Airmen or whatever, you know, Air Force, which I still don't believe he had that information readily accessible.
He was set up by the FBI, somebody that gave that information.
We find out that, hey, those numbers are pretty much flipped, right?
And so, you know, I do agree we need to end the war.
We need to have somebody there or someone that can truly negotiate a peace deal, you know, and get out of that.
And we don't have that, so that's why Xi Jinping has stepped up to do that.
And so we have the CCP running the world instead of the United States because we have these feckless leaders in the world, thanks to, you know, some rhinos, thanks to the RNC and rhinos in our party as well, that they're not off the hook.
You know, I'm not just going to blame Democrats because we already know what the Democrats were going to do.
But what we don't know is when we elect these establishment Republicans or when we elect these Republicans that run on an America First, that run on, you know, a conservative agenda or a conservative platform, and then they get to D.C. and turn moderate or into a rhino, and they end up voting, you know, with the Democrats.
And so that's why we've lost this country.
We haven't lost this country.
Because of the Democrats.
We've lost this country because we've won more elections, you know, over the past decades than Democrats.
But we've lost this country because of RINOs, because of, you know, Republicans like that.
And so, you know, that's a telltale sign.
So what do you think about the border situation?
Yeah, I've been to the border a couple times.
I think the wall is...
I'm all for every one of Donald Trump's policies.
The only policy that I ever had issue with President Trump was his policy on prescription drugs.
I think that the way his administration handled...
Making it harder for patients who were prescribed to receive certain prescription drugs, that created a vacuum within, you know, certain areas like where I grew up.
I grew up in the inner city of Toledo.
Right.
I don't want kids doing drugs, man, but I'd rather them go buy a pain pill from their buddy than go buy a bag of heroin from somebody in Detroit, right?
Absolutely.
And the vacuum was created that, you know, where children and younger folks that were addicted, they had nowhere to turn with respect to, you know, their addictions.
And so where they turned was deeper and darker places, which is heroin and fentanyl.
And I think President Trump acknowledges that.
But, you know, outside of that, that's really the only policy that, you know, I had issue with.
But it's not necessarily that I had issue with the policy as much as I did the fallout.
The fallout, right.
After the implementation, you know, he did get caught up in this fake Russia collusion.
So, you know, in a perfect world, he would have had the opportunity to, you know, run a presidency that was free of, you know, illegal claims.
Free of interference.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But, yeah, the wall, I think the wall needs to be there.
You know, my family immigrated to this country, and, you know, I think America was built on immigrants, immigrants who wanted to come here.
And some didn't.
Some were forced here, right?
Some were enslaved or some were just, you know, were moved here by their parents and they didn't want to live here.
But at the end of the day, I think every American, regardless, has found a love for this country and has wanted to recontribute.
I don't think anybody wakes up in the morning and At least for the most part.
We don't wake up in the morning as Americans thinking, this is what I'm going to do to destroy the country.
And I don't think immigrants that are coming here think that either.
But a country without borders is a country without laws.
You have no country without borders.
The federal government's responsibility is to maintain our sovereignty.
And they're not doing that.
There's many reasons why the Democratic Party is allowing the borders to be open.
At the end of the day, we want immigrants to come here.
We want them to come and contribute to society, to grow America.
We want America to be the land of the free, but we also have rules to get in, and they're not very hard.
It's not very hard to come to America, but it is when you're a Democrat explaining it on CNN or MSNBC. So, you know, that said, you know, I would be right alongside, you know, strong conservatives in the Congress like Jim Jordan, Bob Good, Paul Gosar, Matt Gaetz, Anna Paulina Luna, Corey Mills, you know, I could go on and on of some of the folks that I've become friends with that I respect.
And You know, holding out on the speakership boat, doing all those things, you know, that would have been where, you know, where I would have participated.
But I think the strongest thing that I bring to the table is, you know, number one, I have a very successful career in nuclear power.
We don't have a member of Congress right now that has actively worked in commercial nuclear.
We have Navy nukes, that's great.
You understand the science, but I'm talking about understanding how dollars are made, how energy is made from the atom or the piece of coal or the gallon of gas, what have you.
How that goes from the power plant through the pipeline, through the power line, to the consumer.
And what the consumer is looking at, how the regulatory bodies influence consumer pricing, and how baseload power is maintained, and what is needed to maintain that baseload power, and how the government actually relies on our power grid for national defense.
Many people don't know that.
And so, you know, I could bring an uncontested level of knowledge and experience.
And mind you, as I described, I worked my way up from carrying a gun to signing checks.
Right?
Authorizing million-dollar spends, being responsible for the most dangerous material known to man, which is spending in Peterfield.
Right?
A guy like me from the ghetto of Toledo got a chance to do that through hard work and persistence.
I would love to bring my message, my tenacity, and my love for this country, and my knowledge of energy to Congress.
And I'm going to fight like hell to get there.
Even though they don't want me there, I'm going to keep fighting because I know the people in my district want to see me there.
Right.
And that's what you do.
You know, I ran in 2020 and 2022, you know, the fight.
So you just got to keep the fight.
You know, I think I've decided to right now fight from this side, you know, with the mic and, you know, use my big ass mouth that I have.
Go to fight and get congressional candidates like you, you know, in there.
And then, you know, maybe I run again in 2024, 2026, who knows?
And, you know, join you there.
So let me ask you real quick, because we have like maybe about 10 minutes left.
I tell you what, let's take a break first, and then we'll come back with the last segment.
Okay, so we're going to take a break, let Teddy pay some bills.
We'll be right back on In the Trenches with Teddy Daniels, your host, the Black Mamba and J.R. Majewski.
Trump made a bold statement recently.
He said he could end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours without going after Russia.
He says Russia is not the enemy, but this is, and it's currently targeting the U.S. as we speak.
The enemy wants to control us, our bank accounts, our assets, and practically enslave every U.S. citizen.
It's part of their sick and twisted plan.
Folks, this goes way beyond the failing banks.
And the worse that the recession gets.
According to experts, this event is the closest thing to a rapture we have ever seen, yet no news stations are covering it.
A new video that's out there actually shines the light on a dangerous situation.
It exposes who the enemy is, their diabolical plan, and An effective strategy to hedge against this upcoming disaster.
Folks, visit darkagedefense.com backslash teddy to watch this controversial video.

The cancel culture is nuts.

Folks, darkagedefense.com backslash teddy.
Link in the description.
Go watch.
Go see what's going on.
All right, so we're back.
We've got about seven minutes left.
Anything specific you want to talk about?
No, I think, you know, we have, like you said, we haven't really lost the country yet, but in many ways we have.
You know, the 2022 election wasn't something that I think probably most of the people in Teddy's audience expected to happen.
I think we all were hoping for that red wave, but there's been...
Okay, yeah, let's talk about that.
You know, we jumped right into that, so let me bring us back.
Hi, welcome back to the show.
Welcome back to In the Trenches with Teddy Daniels.
We've got one segment left.
You know, in the break, me and J.R. was talking about this pink trickle that actually took place and not the red wave that all of us thought.
Because if all of us America First candidates that ran that would have, that should have won, it would have been a bigger wave, red wave, than the pink trickle.
So what do you think happened with that, J.R.? Well you know my assessment is that you know when you look across the country at The American first candidate is that one.
There were two really dominating factors.
Either they were wealthy enough to self-fund or they were able to garner a lot of support from their district and their district was normally what would be considered across the country a wealthy district, right?
And Take a couple people, for example.
Number one, like George Santos, right?
That guy raised a ton of money, and he lives in the wealthiest district in New York, which I happen to have a couple of Jewish friends of mine that live in Lawrence, New York.
They were voraciously seeking a Republican candidate.
And they emptied their checkbooks for him.
And he won.
He wasn't dependent on...
I mean, did the NRCC raise him money?
Yeah, sure.
But did he need it?
No.
He had it in the bag.
He had the money that he raised, and, you know, he was able to punch back.
And so, you know, you look at other candidates across the country, Blake Masters ran for Senate, right?
He was underfunded, a Senate race, and, you know, they withdrew a lot of his money.
J.D. Vance was underfunded for a good amount of time, and then he finally received a windfall.
But in J.D. Vance's case, it was much more competitive because of the demographics.
Blake Masters was running against a sitting senator, former astronaut, who had years and years of loyal donors, right?
Yeah, big bankroll.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, the candidates that won or lost, I mean, you really break it down.
It's all about their ability to fundraise because, you know, Americans, the average everyday voter, those folks that I like to call, you know, not in the bubble.
They don't truly engage in politics like we do, and they don't become familiar or make themselves familiar with issues unless, number one, it drastically affects their daily life.
Or number two, it's put in front of them by way of the media.
And that's the art that the Democrats have mastered.
But on the other side, you know, you have the argument where, you know, the RNC and, you know, they did a, what do they call it, an autopsy of the 2022 election.
And what's the first thing that started coming up?
Candidate quality, this and that and the other, right?
I'll just use me as an example, okay?
So based on everything I just told you today, okay?
I'm a guy who came from nothing, served in the military honorably, achieved a master's degree, and then went on to be pretty successful in the nuclear power industry.
Running for Congress during a period where America is desperate to regain its ability to self-produce and self-control its destiny when it comes to the American power grid and the American reserve of energy, whether it's oil or coal, what have you.
To say that I'm not a good candidate is ridiculous.
That was a narrative that was really established by Republicans that knew Donald Trump was going to be running for president in 2024.
If you notice the candidates they talked about, those were candidates that were extremely loyal.
Because I was one of them.
Carrie Lake, myself, yourself, Teddy, Blake Masters.
I mean, you could go down the line.
Joe Kent, right?
All these guys that were a danger to the status quo.
Truly a danger.
Some people got in.
Some of us got in.
But guess what?
Now they're there by themselves.
Right.
They're there by themselves.
They should have had 10 more of us.
We should have had a miniature Freedom Caucus.
And that's what it would have been.
And we would have been able to really push some issues because they would have had to have our votes.
So we had leverage and they knew that.
They knew that if we had that big red wave of these America first, these Donald Trump You know, candidates coming here in Congress, we have major leverage over the entire Congress, and they knew that, so they had to keep us out.
Absolutely.
And I feel I'm happy for the guys and gals that made it through.
I'm 100% happy.
I'm disappointed because I've seen some of them reluctantly move towards I see them on C-SPAN sitting next to people that I know they shouldn't be sitting next to.
I know they probably don't want to be sitting next to.
But I feel like they don't think that they have another choice.
Right, they become marginalized.
Yeah, a lot of it's probably for survival.
Now, after this cycle, we all get in.
Will they jump back?
Hell yeah, they will.
I think they're in some types of modes of self-preservation.
But I don't...
I don't cast any disparities their way, but I just could imagine, what if the shoe was on the other foot?
What if I would have made it through and they didn't?
Would I be doing the same thing?
Who knows?
Who knows?
I know I would have been a no vote for McCarthy all the way.
Laura Loomer.
I mean, can you imagine, dude?
Can you imagine all of us that lost?
You know, our primaries or our congressional races that should have been in, you know, together as a freshman class.
I mean, the squad would have been like pieces of dung, man.
We would have just ruled over them.
You know, you guys go sit down somewhere, you know, because you guys don't rule anymore.
I mean, you know, because we had some people with some balls, you know, including females like Laura Loomer.
We have some people that really was going to bring the fight and really affect change in Congress.
Okay, so we've got a couple of them.
We've got about a minute.
Give everybody how they can find you because you're going to need some money.
He's going to need some money.
So I want everyone that's watching this show, this broadcast, send JR $5, $10, $2,900.
It's $3,300 now.
You know, it's $3,300 now.
Well, there you go.
They've even raised it again.
So, you know, if you can do the max, if you can double max, you and your wife and double max, that'll be good because we need patrons like J.R. Majewski in Congress.
So let them know how they can find you, how they can donate to you, J.R. Sure.
I'm on every form of social media.
It's JR Majewski.
It's M-A-J-E-W-S-K-I. My website, though, used to be pretty long.
I had that great Polish last name, but now it's JR4Ohio.
It's J-R-F-O-R-O-H-I-O dot com.
There you go.
There you go.
And go ahead and give it one more time.
JR4Ohio.com.
It's J-R-F-O-R-O-H-I-O dot com.
And there you have it.
There you have it, Jerry Majewski.
Congressional candidate of 2024 for Ohio, my homeboy in Toledo.
District 9, JR Majewski, man.
Thank you for coming on, man.
An hour goes fast, man.
Yeah, it does.
You know, it goes fast, man.
But I thank you for coming on, you know, hanging out with me here in In the Trenches with Teddy Daniels.
And thank you guys, like I said, for putting up with me for this week.
You know, sitting in for Teddy while Teddy is out on vacation, hunting bear, hunting turkeys.
Or, you know, I heard he was down on the beach somewhere, but, you know, I'll let him tell you about that, man.
Hey, man, so good luck in your campaign, man.
Good luck.
I'll be following you.
You know you have my support.
If you need anything from me, man, just let me know.
Okay, and we're out, guys.
