From El Paso to Gaza: How Reality Differs From Media Narratives
Terrell "G" Gonzalez returns to the Daily American and pulls back the curtains on headline stories that rarely receive proper context in mainstream media. The conversation begins with a striking revelation about the "Gulf of America" designation – not a gesture of patriotism but a calculated business move to restore American drilling rights after Biden administration restrictions left foreign countries operating in waters where US companies couldn't.
From policy to the personal, the veteran shares disturbing firsthand observations from El Paso, Texas, where he's witnessed escalating violence, nightly shootings, and increased military presence. His ground-level perspective challenges simplified narratives about border security, distinguishing between legal immigration channels that remain open and enforcement challenges that create dangerous conditions for border communities.
The discussion deepens when examining the Israel-Hamas conflict through the eyes of someone who's experienced similar warfare tactics. The veteran explains how fighters blend with civilian populations, creating impossible situations for opposing forces, and unpacks the complicated reality of ceasefire negotiations. Drawing parallels to his own combat experiences, he recounts being misrepresented by media after responding to a child who threw grenades at his unit – illuminating how battlefield realities often get distorted in reporting.
Listen as historical context frames these modern conflicts, tracing religious and cultural tensions back to ancient divisions that continue shaping today's geopolitical landscape. This episode offers rare insight into how someone who's witnessed war firsthand interprets current events, connecting domestic policies to international affairs through personal experience rather than political talking points. What emerges is a complex picture of global challenges that defies the oversimplified narratives dominating public discourse.

So, basically, I recorded. You want to record it or no?
Speaker 1:I don't know, I don't think that it's going to be all usable. I do want to talk about that last podcast you had that I just heard.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know I'm sure you're upset with me.
Speaker 1:I'm sure a lot of people are. I just wanted to talk to you guys about something that you both, freaking, completely missed.
Speaker 2:Go ahead, let's, let's hear it and then I'll run it by you or whatever. I'll send you this, but pretend like it's not recorded.
Speaker 1:Yo, if you want to put it on, go ahead. I don't care, man, I know you're the best I'll back you whatever you do. So look, when Biden left, like this is going back to the Gulf of America thing, you guys keep on thinking it's about ego or we're trying to pound our chest to the world, and it has nothing to do with that. When Biden left, he set up no drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. He completely banned all of our offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 1:Okay, and to get around, that it's no longer the Gulf of Mexico, it had nothing to do around. That it's no longer the Gulf of Mexico. Like it had nothing to do with that. Like for no fucking logical reason he stopped us from sending oil rigs. Venezuela can, they can come in the Gulf of Mexico and drill Mexico still can, but the US? Because of what Biden did? We weren't allowed to drill in our own Gulf, holy smokes.
Speaker 2:Because it was the Gulf of Mexico. It was a business decision.
Speaker 1:It was a business decision. It was a business decision, he was changing it to the Gulf of Mexico, so that that uh uh, that decree that Biden did on his way out.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Okay, no one void. It was a business to allow us to still be able to to work in the Gulf.
Speaker 2:Hey, just so everybody knows, this is a, this is a gentleman from Boarding to Fight this dude, somebody I look up to. This guy's the man. Anything he says I take for real, especially because he's well versed in knowledge. Not that I don't take everything, I take everything that people tell me, with usually a grain of salt, but with this guy, this guy's the real deal, he knows his shit. Gee, where are you, you know, with usually a grain of salt, but but with this guy, this guy's the real deal, he knows his shit.
Speaker 1:So, uh, gee where are you at right now? Texas or Florida?
Speaker 2:I'm in El Paso now, man. I came back and that's where you're living.
Speaker 1:Yeah, my, my ex got pregnant, so I ended up getting custody of my kids and my house back.
Speaker 2:So I had to move back to El Pasocha, gotcha. But you're, uh, are you still with the, the? The you're with your, your wife, or your or what? Your wife, yeah, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, gotcha. So you're back in el paso.
Speaker 1:We just came back here because I was tired of paying rent and a mortgage for a house that I couldn't live in so once I got my house house, I was like all right, well, let's go deal with El Paso for a little bit until we can sell it and get out of there.
Speaker 2:Yo, do you see, being there in El Paso, I mean, obviously I was only there for a short time, but do you see the immigration crisis? Because obviously there were tons. Now, g, you know, there's tons of people coming across, or there were tons of people coming across the border, some of them, some of them, and there are legal ways to do it. Some of them are looking for a better life. Most, not most of them, I don't know the numbers, obviously but some are looking for a better life.
Speaker 1:No fancy. What do you think? The door is open. Like they didn't lock everybody out. Like I can go downtown El Paso. I don't know how often you went downtown when you were here.
Speaker 1:There's a port of entry right downtown El Paso. If you wanted to come here and you weren't doing shady shit, just walk across, show your ID and you know, come, hang out. Half the people that have shops downtown live in Mexico. They just come over here for business and go back over there and live. Like. So it's not that hard. Like they're making it seem like we have iron clad doors and nobody's coming in, no matter what, or else it's not like that. We still have a flow of people coming. I can take you down to the border right now and show you 10 000 cars coming through just this port of entry. We haven't locked it down. Like. People still come in, like we're open, we're america, you know? Yeah, so everybody's saying that people want to immigrate. Like. Immigrate, do it the right way though. Like when you sneak over here, then you know damn well like.
Speaker 1:And so when we were here, we were soldiers, right, so we didn't get a lot of time to play with el paso itself, but you can still kind of get a feel for the, the, the demeanor of the people and the, the, the crime level, uh, the, the government as a whole, just in our daily lives. But now I left town for a while and I honestly feel like that's the best way to get a feel for something is to actually pull up and leave. So I had my opinion of El Paso, which is pretty much based off my ex, which wasn't great, but the rest of El Paso meant very little to me. When I went away I went to Colorado, then I went to Florida for a bit and then I ended up coming back and the crime level in El Paso is through the roof. Like my neighborhood is garbage. There's shootings every night. Like the police have helicopters now. Like they have private companies flying helicopters. The military is flying helicopters up and down the border. Like this has gotten a lot, a lot worse. Like almost everywhere. You see, yo, you know what.
Speaker 1:There's one time I was driving my kid to school and I think I just dropped him off, I was getting ready to turn around or something like that and this little freaking wannabe gang you know who I am, I'm not a little dude, I'm nobody's but this little bitty midget shit. This little motherfucker. I was driving the Challenger right. I don't know if you've ever been in one. You've got a lot of blind spots in the rear. I don't know what his deal was, but this little jackass decided to come around the backside of the car. I didn't even see him until he was at my window. He came and punched me in my car.
Speaker 2:So of course I got mad.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he motherfucker punched me like sucker punched me. I didn't know who the fuck he is. I'd never seen him before in my life, so I grabbed him, of course, by the throat and put the car in park. He's trying to hit me. He's trying to pull away and hit me at the same time. I'm holding onto him with one hand. I'm park, I casually get out and I start to beat the shit out of him, but I get in trouble. Like this guy like Well, no, he got loose for a sec.
Speaker 2:But he was a Alright go ahead. Finish the story.
Speaker 1:He went and grabbed some tools because they were going to hit me with some big-ass stick and I was like, bitch, you're going to hit me once with that stick, it's going to sting a little bit and I'm going to shove it up your ass. Some little school cop came by and broke up the fight I was charged for. I don't even know what it was something super stupid. This dude's covered in tattoos from head to toe. I don't know what the fuck he was doing. I really don't know what his deal was. I don't know if it was just a crackhead moment or what.
Speaker 2:Was he a student? No man. He looked like he was probably early 20s give or take, I mean either way, even if he was a student, somebody's got to beat that kid's fucking ass. Somebody's got to beat his ass.
Speaker 1:I did, but only for a second because the fucking cops broke it up. They're like, oh, you were out of control. I was like, dude, the, the cops fucking four foot two if I was out of control. You're not breaking up shit like somebody attacks me. I'm not gonna sit there and wait for the cops to show up and defend me. I'm not somebody. This is a fucking texas. Bro that you hit me, expect to get hit back.
Speaker 2:Yeah exactly there's kids like the only ones that don't hit back are people from california right like the imports.
Speaker 1:Yeah, not the real california, because I'm talking about the ones that don't hit back are people from.
Speaker 2:California, right. Not the real Californians, I'm talking about the ones that fucked up their laws too. Yeah, that's crazy man. Yeah, I mean. So there are. I mean I saw something Some Venezuelans, tons of gangbangers, were coming across the border. I don't know if they are, I know the one girl got. They always highlight. See the media. You know the media.
Speaker 1:The media is just they're hiding half of what they're exactly like even now they're supposed to be more conservative, they're still hiding half of it. Like there's so much shit that still happens and they just sweep it under the remember apostle braganoff being the safest city in the us bullshit like that's. This is by far, far from the safest city in the us. Like it's full of so much crime. You just got incompetent cops or who are in and on it with with the uh, the little gangbanger types or the cartels, so they don't report half the shit.
Speaker 2:So now the borders are at least, are at least secured, right, they're not pouring in in the does. I was watching. I was watching the documentary the other day g that, uh, in the sanctuary cities in chicago there was just this dude rolling around with this retired cop and like literally tons and tons of illegal immigrants just staying in police precincts, inside the stations, just like meanwhile, they're sick and shit and the police are, are are feared up because you know they get sick.
Speaker 2:Bring it home to their families. Not only that, but then the girls. Obviously they want money. Right, they need to get money.
Speaker 1:They're here with nothing.
Speaker 2:They gave their life savings to get here.
Speaker 1:That's a big sex trafficking thing. Because the girls get here they have no legit skills, because wherever the fuck they come from, it's not like they got college to go to or they developed any kind of skills growing up outside of being a housewife. And when they get here and not every American wants a fucking immigrant housewife, an illegal immigrant housewife- Right, right, I mean. I wouldn't. They had these guys staying on base. No, you don't want one. I promise you. I guarantee you Fuck, no, no.
Speaker 2:No, I shouldn't fuck around like that, all right, so G? What's going on with this? So there was a ceasefire and I don't pay honest to God, this past year I haven't paid attention to the news at all. So it's funny that I'm getting into this a little bit, thanks to people like yourself. But the Gaza over in Gaza. So the ceasefire I heard that ended like yesterday. Israel started bombing the piss out of them again.
Speaker 1:Well, so the ceasefire was predicated on them releasing the hostages. When they went and initially attacked Israel, they were raping and killing most of the people they came in contact with, but every group of jackasses that went over there to attack them was allowed to bring a fucking fighter. I mean, I'm sure they didn't have any kind of rules on it, they just they captured who they could and killed and raped who they couldn't, but they took a whole bunch of hostages. I don't even know what the official actual count is, but part of the ceasefire was like the whole point of this invasion is Israel is like you will not fucking take our people, like we want them back. Every last one of them, dead or alive. We want them back, which is fair. This was such, yeah, but this deal that they made for the ceasefire was so un-fucking-believably lopsided. They were taking the, they were trading the prisoners, but like next to none, like five a week maybe, or five a month months.
Speaker 1:yeah, because there were released, yeah, but they wanted hundreds of hamas fighters brought back and given back to them like people that were in, uh, israeli jail, that were captured on the battlefield or elsewhere. They were getting them back. Israel was releasing their guys like crazy and then hamas just decided that they didn't feel like releasing any more people and they gave warning after warning, like we're tired of asking your fucking permission. This was the deal. You release all of our people Like and it's not just us, it's every country that had somebody visiting Israel that was captured that day has people that they want back. So when these guys just arbitrarily chose to stop halfway through their, it's the same shit they all do. This is from, like, iran to even iraq back.
Speaker 1:When they were a powerhouse, they all used to like pick and choose what part of the deals they feel like honoring. And usually when you have like certain democratic or just real soft rhino type republicans, uh, in charge, they will, they, they'd been, they'd let them say like, well, we'll make a new deal and we'll give you billions of dollars if you stop, if you promise to stop, but we won't check. And then when, and all you got to do is you, you know, cook me five french fries, well, they'll cook four and just to be a dickhead, they'll say no on the last one. Like I mean, we've always had lopsided deals with these motherfuckers. Like I don't know why we don't just fucking bomb it and make it a big glass. Middle Eastern Disneyland.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you have no remorse for like, or you don't feel bad for like the innocents over over there you know damn well, that's a bullshit.
Speaker 1:No, you so you, you so you know no, listen to me, fiance, when, when you were over there, yeah, and you're in the middle of a firefight, you're shooting back and forth, you got one or two jackasses that are just. They got their courage up for the day for whatever reason, and you know they molested, whatever it goes they were going to do, and they came out thinking that they were a real man. They start taking shots at us and we fire back and then, on that battlefield, everybody starts walking in the middle, like the whole streets are clear, nobody's doing shit, and then, out of nowhere, people start walking in the middle of a fucking firefight. Are those innocent or are they trying to freaking?
Speaker 2:they're trying to get on the news.
Speaker 1:they're forcing it. The whole reason they don't wear uniforms. Like under under Majadi, they all wore black, so we can kind of identify them. They wore black in their stupid little bandanas and they looked super gay, but then when we had Super gay, I don't know. Well, they were easy to identify, so it was easy to pick them off, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I see, but now they personally hide in civilian uniforms, whether they're fighting or not, and then one person will drop a weapon or like, say you just shot somebody, they, they fall down and die and uh, and then one of those innocent bystanders will turn around, pick up a weapon and start firing back. At the very beginning of this, they said that they did. Uh, um, they had internal surveys from their own people and from outside saying that like 96% of them hated Israel and the West and everything that we stand for and they would kill us all if they had a chance, like they were all.
Speaker 1:Yeah they're all radicalized.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're all radicalized. I mean not I wouldn't say every last one of them are, but most of them are no.
Speaker 1:There's no way you can ever say every last one of them, and I'm sure that somebody's getting caught in the crossfire, but you're in a fucking war zone.
Speaker 1:It is collateral damage and they keep forgetting that Hamas wasn't allowed because Israel was allowing. They would push forward for a little bit, because Israel doesn't. West Bank is not a big place Like it's taking over a city essentially. West Bank is not a big place. It's taking over a city essentially, which wouldn't take somebody like Israel very long if they actually wanted to just get rid of everybody and take it over. But they would take over a small section of it and then pause for a sec and then gather a group. But while they're doing that, they're allowing anybody that doesn't want to fight to get the fuck out of the way. Were you with us for Fallujah?
Speaker 2:No, fuck no.
Speaker 1:The beginning of a lot of these larger campaigns. We'll drop flyers, we'll get on a PA system and we'll start yelling in their freaking, filthy-ass language get the fuck out, or else this is turning into a combat zone. We're coming in, we're coming in hot. We advertise for a very long time before we go in, and israel takes a lot of our same tactics. But when it's not the us involved actually, even when it is the us involved they like to pretend that they're the fucking victim. Everybody's got this fucking victim mentality. It's been mastered by these freaking, these jackasses.
Speaker 2:They will pretend that they're innocent but when their battle buddy that's firing at you is getting shot at, they'll stand there like these jackasses.
Speaker 1:They will pretend that they're innocent. But when their battle buddy that's firing at you is getting shot at, they'll stand there like oh no, I'm innocent right next to his ass. When he drops and dies because you just lit his ass up, because you know how to shoot, even though he doesn't, that buddy that was just innocent two seconds ago will pick the rifle up and start firing at you, and then the news will take that story as well. This guy was radicalized on the battlefield. Motherfucker wasn't radicalized. This was a plan all along. Like this is shit. That's been done for a hundred years.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like this is a plan, Like they're not stupid, they're trying to use the Stop it Shut up.
Speaker 2:Sorry, my dog's acting dumb. No, you're good. So back in the, I think it was from the beginning of time. So basically, I don't know how much you know about this, but I know you've been on a more spiritual journey in regards to Christianity lately. But let me say something about the.
Speaker 2:When it comes to the Old Testament, so that's the equivalent to the Jewish Bible, to the Torah, the our Old Testament, the Holy Bible. You got the Torah, so you got Abraham, abraham's, the forefather, apparently of all three religions Christianity, islam and the Jews and he had, you know, basically he ended up having, in the Quran, the two sons Abraham had Isaac and Ishmael, and in the Koran Ishmael was favored by God and given that land in the Gaza Strip. In the Old Testament our Bible and the Jewish Bible, isaac had two sons and essentially I don't know bottom line is one of them split off to the Middle East and one of them split off to the Jewish nations. In the Torah, the son who Abraham had was favored, and in our Holy Bible, in the Old Testament and then in the Quran, the, you know, ishmael was the one favored. Ishmael was his mother, was a basic, like, she was a slave, and Abraham and Abraham's wife Sarah had. I believe it was Jacob, yeah, jacob, a son Jacob. So there was Jacob and Ishmael. Jacob was renamed Israel by God, which was given that land. In our Bible and then in the Koran, ishmael was the one favored, and in our Bible all they say about Ishmael is you know, he split off to the desert and was always fighting with people, like he was angry, and I'm sure it says something similar in the Koran.
Speaker 2:But the bottom line is they have been at each other's throats from the beginning of times the Middle Easterns and the Jews and it's never going to stop until Judgment Day. So it's something that we got to continuously expect that war. There may be a peace treaty. If there's a seven-year peace deal, then you know the Book of Revelations, all these prophecies have been fulfilled from the Old Testament to modern day, including Israel getting back their land. Right after World War II we gave them that land and we literally took the Palestinians and we said you guys are going that way, take your shit and go that way, and that's why I mean these policies. That's why there's always it's all written, it's written, it's going to happen. You know, my father used to say shall it be written? So it be done. It's written in the books. The books are there. I'm not a reader. I mean, this is just knowledge. I'm pulling.
Speaker 1:Oh, damn, you know, damn. Yeah, I think you're looking too closely into this. What do you mean? Well, I get what you're trying to say. You're trying to go back in time and say well, back in the day, god said this, prove it. Neither one of us can prove what God said to who, and who changed who's name to fucking like I get all of that.
Speaker 2:All I'm saying is it's not going to end, even if Trump tries to end it. It's never going to end until judgment day, sorry.
Speaker 1:So well, that's because everybody keeps playing with him, so you mean everybody keeps fucking with Israel poking the bear. Well. So yeah, there's that part too. But, like everybody keeps allowing Hamas to do this shit, hamas is still a proxy of Iran. If you shut down Iran, this Hamas shit's done because these guys are still backed. A bunch of fucking cavemen. Without Iran funding Hamas, they've got sticks and stones.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what's the group?
Speaker 1:that comes out of Palestine.
Speaker 2:What's the group that comes out of Palestine? It well. What's the group that comes out of palestine? It's not hamas, it's uh. What the fuck is it? I thought hamas was taken care of.
Speaker 1:No, I guess not no, hamas is in the west bank, okay, okay. These are. These are like, uh, like offshoots they're. They're not an army directly. These are uh, it's like the cartels don't want to get into a fight with us so they'll hire the Crips or Bloods to go and peddle their shit on our streets. Does that make sense?
Speaker 2:Or like they don't know our area so well.
Speaker 1:So they'll hire some MS-13 gang to come and do the actual legwork, even though it's actually being funded and masterminded by the cartels themselves or something like that. There's a bigger opponent, and until we beat that bigger opponent with a stick, they're going to keep funding the little guys. That's their way of jabbing at us. Without it's the same type of shit. They hide in crowds and pretend that they're innocent. Same thing that Iran is doing.
Speaker 2:They are hitting us with somebody else's hand, yeah because the money is getting funneled to them back the backdoor method. Yeah, they're funding them.
Speaker 1:They're pretending that they're innocent, just like all the innocent people that are being killed.
Speaker 2:And don't get me wrong, I do believe that some innocent people have died, yeah, but I've also been to war, I know how that shit actually works.
Speaker 1:Yeah, don't forget, I had that bullshit story with Stars and Stripes where they tried to call me a fucking insurgent.
Speaker 2:Why?
Speaker 1:What'd you do?
Speaker 2:Kill a bunch of terrorists.
Speaker 1:No, this little kid came and threw a couple grenades at us.
Speaker 2:I could have swore you were with us on that one.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, I don't, I get my generations of that fight mixed up. But this kid came and threw a grenade at us, or two grenades at us. Then she landed right at my feet. So I was a little pissed off cuz I thought for sure I was gonna die. But they cooked off cuz the I guess primer wasn't hot enough. It was that HME grenades was like a homemade explosive stuff, but it just it got hot but didn't get hot enough, it didn't pop, you know. So they just cooked off. We took him grenades apart but I was so pissed a little fucking bastard try to kill me. I don't care if he's 10 or 12 years old, he just tried to kill me like you're a fucking soldier at that point he still didn't do anything.
Speaker 1:I went over there and I snatched to that because the first aren't the time. I can't remember who that was. First, sergeant Gonzalez actually. He went and, I guess, caught the kid. He was in the back of the formation and the kid tried to squirt out, but we had Stars and Stripes with us, so the commander was there too. And the commander everybody took a knee, like everybody, just fucking ghosted. Like nobody yelled grenade, nobody said shit. I just heard tink, tink, tink and I'm looking around and everybody was down. I was at the front of the formation because I liked it.
Speaker 2:I liked it up there. Yeah, of course you did, because you're not a warmonger, you were born to fight, dude this is what you were meant to do.
Speaker 1:I'm surprised you didn't kill him.
Speaker 1:Well, I didn't, I didn't even hit him. I I'm surprised you didn't kill him. Well, I didn't, I didn't even hit him. I did nothing. I grabbed his ass because I was fucking pissed. And when I dragged him over to the, we had this like little cement and we didn't have it. They had it.
Speaker 1:And this is in Missoula, where we had the Christian sector, and we were just walking through seeing if they need anything. There was a big hole where a car bomb had gone off and we're like well, we can send some engineers and some people to help you guys fill this hole in. You guys have your street back and like we just need to know if your water is running fine, if you have electricity, do you guys have enough food? And this is like right on the divide of the christian sector and the, the muslim sector, where that little bastard came out and did this.
Speaker 1:And then this, this super liberal reporter tried and his headline was insurgent or bystander trying to make it look like I was a bad guy for catching this kid. But we're testing his hand and it's coming like. I don't know if you remember the, the, the strips that they used to give us to pull off to see if they have explosives uh on their hands no like well, when, when they do, yeah, yeah I do remember, yeah, yeah yeah, you can test for a whole bunch of different things.
Speaker 1:We didn't carry it all the time, but it was always at least in one of the vehicles. Anyway, I tested this kit. Every time you test it because it's actually sticky.
Speaker 1:It's pulling sticky stuff off your hand and it's mixing with the chemicals on the strip Once it has the chemical they'll find a chemical that's in the HME, or they'll find a chemical that's in a mortar or whatever it is they suspect you of. I think they can even do tobacco and alcohol and stuff, like we didn't have that because we don't care, but like if they had explosives or they just got done shooting a weapon. Then we could test that strip around, like where their their thumb would be or their fingertips and we could see. And this one came up positive as shit. And this guy kept on making me test them and I was like dude, I've already fucking tested them, I'm done with this. And then the commander came by and, like you guys, got to keep playing along and so I had to keep testing this fucking asshole. Like every time we fucking test, I was getting lower and lower.
Speaker 1:He took a picture of the one that showed almost no and it was still a little bit of purple on there, but it was so, so slim you couldn't really see it. You know you take a picture of something that has color and then you get the flash and the color's kind of gone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what he took. He didn't show the 20 strips that I had taken before that were like porno purple, showing that this kid was the one that did it, like that was just to prove that he did it, and one that did it that was just to prove that he did it. And even when we knew he did it, we still let the little motherfucker go. We didn't arrest him, we didn't. I yelled at him, said show me your fucking uncle, because he said his uncle gave it to him. And I tried to make him give me his uncle and he started crying like a little bitch. I was like I don't have time for this shit. Get the fuck out of here.
Speaker 1:But, I got famous. Famous because they tried to say I was interrogating some random innocent person on a battlefield.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's the, that's the, that's the liberal, that that's the screwed up part of the media period All reporters see and that's where this podcast, this is where I try to separate myself. I'm not going to be super biased, I'm not going to be Obviously, I voted for Trump, first term, second term. There's some things that you know, I think, may, from my eyesight, be a little bit ridiculous and could be an ego thing, but you know for yourself, I didn't realize it was a business decision. So now we can drill, drill, baby drill in the Gulf of Mexico, which is, at the end of the day, it is better for America.
Speaker 1:I'm sure there's more technicalities to it, but like with trump, like I mean he, he does have he comes off with that east coast mentality, and also even your mentality, because I, I'm, I'm from the, the southwest, I guess. So anybody from the eastern part of the united states has that same mentality to me. What?
Speaker 2:do you mean? What is the mentality?
Speaker 1:like, uh, like tell me I don't know how to explain it like I mean, anybody that's listening will know what it feels like to talk to somebody from the east coast, if you're not what we're like.
Speaker 2:No, no it alls.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna know what yeah, a little bit like you guys. Just come off as a bit, I guess in your face ish maybe I don't fucking know like it doesn't bother me like I know that. It's just a, it's a cultural thing. That's the culture you guys are from, but trump has it and and spades because he's from freaking new york yeah, yeah, I mean, he's a shrewd businessman dude.
Speaker 1:I just can't believe he's got a lot of that with him. But he also does it smartly, like he comes off like an idiot. Not an idiot. He comes off like he doesn't know what he's doing and that there's not a bigger plan to it. Or he'll say something that's going to get everybody worked up and you're talking about whatever silly shit that he just said that got everybody worked up and completely forget that he's got 10 more moves waiting on the backside that's going to lock him in. This change in the name had nothing to do with ego.
Speaker 2:That's a step to get us back into drilling okay, all right, I I see uh and I liked it and I like that perspective. Now here and I believe it too, I'm not saying I'm not just saying that with a uh being a smart ass, but with that said yo gee, I do remember, like our first few nights there, we wrapped up a couple bad guys I don't know if they were bad or not, but there was like PsyOps or some shit in there with some sort of retina scanner. Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, the biometric scanner. Yeah, what's the deal with that? What did that do?
Speaker 1:Well, so it's like a fingerprint, but you can't really hide your finger Like technically. If you really wanted to like your say this, you could burn your fingerprints off, but sort of stabbing your eyes out, you can't really escape the the biometric retina scanner. So a lot of times, well, like at checkpoints and this is like a little portable scanner, you know, at checkpoints, uh, and definitely all the the people that are coming in and out of base, because we bring guys in to help us fill sandbags, like we're trying to give them jobs and stuff to go back and feed their family and stuff. So whatever jobs we can, we have them come in. They of course be under guard while they're on base.
Speaker 1:But everybody that comes on the base gets scanned. Every time there's a big fight and we take prisoners, we scan their eyes. But this is because your eyes form a very, very, very unique signature that we can put in a database. So all those guys, I was actually nervous that I was in that database because we played around with those stupid scanners for a few times. I'm pretty sure I didn't hit save, but you never know, I was like I'm not a fucking terrorist, dude, dude, that's another testament to God being being real man, like I don't know the whole god and religious thing.
Speaker 2:It does blow my mind sometimes, gee, but like you know, I'm a firm believer. There's, there's one god. I mean, just look at the fingerprints. There's one fingerprint for every single human being. I mean, we can't't. It's ridiculous how, you know, even science, science can't, doesn't, meet our eyes every single day. Like we can, you know, we can touch base with him, though, and and I, I swear to God, that's the most important thing in my life. But but I don't live that way, gee, I'm a hypocrite, you know, I, I, I'm a hypocrite, but you know it's, it's a very I try to live that way and I fail miserably.
Speaker 2:But the cool thing is no, but you're making strides, man, you're making strides. Somebody like yourself and the hell you've been through from childhood on throughout your life I mean even dumb shit still continues to happen. Some retard comes up and punches you. It's just dumb shit, dude, and I'm surprised you didn't shoot him. But it's like you know. I mean I think you're making strides, jay. You know I mean I'm not with you every day but, like I told the audience in the beginning, you're somebody I look up to and you're a solid brother.
Speaker 1:I don't know about looking up to someone like me. That's why I'm so shot out.
Speaker 2:That's why I'm so shot out. Gee, you're the man shot out. I'm so shot out. Gee, you're the man. I'm going to end this. I'm going to hit, stop and then hang on for a second. I appreciate you. You're always welcome back and I'm glad you came back, and you know you're the best man Born to fight.
Speaker 1:Born to fight.
