You've had some haters right.
Speaker 2:Haters is probably an understatement.
Speaker 1:That's why you're here, because we have that in common, because a lot of people hate us too, no question, because you believe you love.
Speaker 3:America. John Rich I don't know if you guys know John at all. It made me think about a tweet hey, garth and Brad, you know they're okay, they did the Biden inauguration and where are all the conservatives? And where are all the conservatives? Where are all the conservative artists? That's been my question, amen. And he specifically mentioned Jason. Of course it was like hey, jason's standing up, look at that, his career's still taking off. But I thought it was an interesting question of like hey, where are the conservatives? Come on, stand up.
Speaker 2:Let's go the other day I was on the stage, there were probably 20,000 people at the Charlie Kirk event and so I just let God control my tongue and I gave two months for free. I could see, all of a sudden, all the ripple effect. I'm walking off stage. Glenn, we don't have any of that set up.
Speaker 4:I said we'll figure it out, you know, because there's a great chance it off stage, Clint, we don't have any of that set up. I said we'll figure it out. It's even worse he goes. We'll give you a month or two.
Speaker 5:Or two A month or two. The Try that in a Small Town podcast begins now.

Speaker 1:We appreciate you guys know I mean, are you guys used to being around, uh, celebrities of this caliber I mean really, I mean, it is intimidating, we get it, yeah, yeah it's intimidating.
Speaker 6:I mean, they're drinking water, they are what is that about?
Speaker 3:maybe that's it. I think they were in yeah, you know, neil.
Speaker 4:Was it Vegas? Yeah, we just got back from Vegas. Yeah, maybe another episode. I gave it up for when. What happens in Vegas, I get it.
Speaker 3:What I didn't mention, which is super important, is Patriot Mobile is also the sponsor of the 2025 full-throttle Jason Aldean Tour. I saw that.
Speaker 6:Yes, dude, I know how awesome is that. It's going to be a good one, we are pumped.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we are fired up about it.
Speaker 6:Are y'all going to go to every single show?
Speaker 4:Yeah, glenn's going to be on the tour bus. I think Really, with y'all Y'allall going to have your own jet, we got our own tour bus.
Speaker 3:Y'all Don't look at me.
Speaker 6:It's them two over there, don't look at me, I'm going to like one show.
Speaker 7:Now, you will be drinking whiskey when you come out to our show, though.
Speaker 2:No, I'm a tequila guy. Oh, that's fine. That's fine, all right.
Speaker 3:You'll be fast friends. He loves that tequila, doesn't he? Let's, um, let's back up a little bit here to defend himself. No, no, well, he doesn't need to defend that. Let's uh back up a little bit, and there might be some people that don't know or understand what patriot mobile is. Uh, you know in the words of what you guys brand yourself. You're a christian conservative cell phone company, but I'd love for one of you guys to talk about that, the mission of what Patriot mobile is.
Speaker 2:See, I'll start because I can't finish it. He's a. He's a smart guy in the room. He's a closer he is, I mean I get about seven words in, and he'll take over, because he knows more than I do, for sure. And that's how you got the hat.
Speaker 5:How do?
Speaker 6:I not have a hat like that. That's what I want to know we got shirts and Scott's a redneck, and how is it the rednecks know more than you?
Speaker 2:No, no, no, no, I'm a full-fledged redneck Red dirt Oklahoma redneck.
Speaker 5:Oh yeah, I'm a boot scootin' crazy redneck Anyway.
Speaker 2:Patriot Mobile. I won't go back to the beginning, but we are America's only Christian conservative cell phone company. And you might say why are you Christian? Well, we really say God is at the helm of our business, we're his stewards and we live by biblical principles. What does that really mean? Well, you run your business the way you should. There's right and wrong, and we love to say that and we love love to do what we say. We have a bible study twice a week. The girls have one on a tuesday. They will not let me in there, even though I identify as a girl, sometimes just kidding but then we have another podcast.
Speaker 7:You're on the wrong podcast. He's nationalist that way, but what really?
Speaker 2:separates us is we carve out a portion of every dollar and donate back to one of four causes first amendment. Second amendment right to life and military and first responders. In 2024 we donated over two and a half million homes for heroes and different groups like that, and 2025 I think we're going to push three. You know, as we grow, we donate more and more. That's not our advertising budget. Our advertising budget's very different. Although most of those guys are christian conservative and you know, you just kind of look at it. We're really trying to fuel the, the alternative economy. So, scott, why don't you?
Speaker 4:fantastic yeah, and you know, I'll just add to that look, we, we realize I told you he had added to it, you know, always.
Speaker 4:Look. We realize americans have many choices when it comes to who they choose to be their cell phone service provider. But but here's something I know to be there's only one that stands in the gap for every single American that believes freedom's worth fighting for. That's Patriot Mobile. There's one you won't find another that does what we do, and it's not just about stroking a check guys. Yeah, we give a lot of money away, but to a man, everybody in our company, we're boots on the ground.
Speaker 4:You see us at the events. You'll see us out there handing out diapers and generators. When all that happened down in Georgia, we took a trailer down there. You'll see us on the front lines in the March for Life. Just last Friday we had a team out there marching for life, because we believe in life With JD, and that's what we do. That's why we exist. It's in our DNA. We don't. You know, I always say it. I, this, this uh job found me. I didn't find this job. God called me to this job and really it's. It's a blessing for all of us to be able to do something every day at work to save our country, and that's what we do.
Speaker 1:And you guys got some flack for that. It probably still do here and there. You know, in the in the beginning did you have? Was it more in the beginning, like and I'm not sure what the financial situation is starting up a company like that? But even with lenders or things like that you've had some haters right Haters is probably an understatement but that's why you're here, cause we have that in common, cause a lot of people hate us too.
Speaker 2:No question because you believe, you love america, you love freedom and I would assume all of you guys love to shoot guns, you know whatever. But what's interesting? Yeah, they're everywhere, they still are. But we started this 11 years ago almost 12 when there was no such thing as a woke company, woke organizations. And you look at it and you say, okay, the only reason we started this business is we stumbled into back up a little further at colonel alan west. I don't know if you guys know who he is, lieutenant colonel, great american patriot. He was a first-term congressman down in the west palm beach area. He got beat that next term.
Speaker 2:You and Cummins don't get beat right, it's rare, unless they're scumbags, but anyway, so he ended up getting beat and the guy that was running the diligence or running the polling on the campaign said he wasn't supposed to get beat. So they went in to look at what happened. They found a bunch of people that didn't belong in Palm Beach knocking doors, calling him a woman beater. So they found out who it was. It was a company called Credo Mobile. So when we found out about Credo Mobile, they had donated at the time about $75 million to progressive causes, tree huggers and Planned Parenthood and all this garbage, really. So we went out and did the research. We said, okay, done, we're in. Little did. I know it was going to be a giant, giant lift, yeah, but now it's been worth every minute. I love getting up every day fighting the fight and, uh, you know what? Our goal is to donate 75 million. Now they've donated 100.
Speaker 3:Our goal is to do the same thing on our side yeah, because it's interesting, like if you think business model, this is why I've never made a lot of money. But if you think business model, I'm going to cut out half of the country. We don't want their business. But yet you know, and if you think you think about, now it's, it's become a little bit more. I don't want to say in vogue, but now conservatism is making a comeback. There's a spiritual awakening now, but you guys were kind of swimming upstream a little bit 10 years ago. It seems right Big time.
Speaker 7:And I think, I hope I feel like woke, which I hate that word. I feel like it's on life support. I hope so. I'm ready for that word to go away.
Speaker 1:I feel like it's on life support. I hope so. I'm ready for that word to go away.
Speaker 7:I feel like it is on life support. I feel like people are. It feels like common sense is is people aren't afraid to show up. They have it now, you know.
Speaker 4:So let's, you're seeing it with some of the brands too right, You're seeing this whiplash, they're going they're going wait a minute.
Speaker 3:Uh, course correct. You know tractor supply and these other guys. Oh, we had uh, robbie starbuck, I love that guy yeah, yeah and that guy has been a warrior for di. I mean it's been amazing what he's done.
Speaker 2:I think he really was the lynchpin of getting it started you think so. Oh yeah, there's no question, yeah, I'm friendly with robbie and I keep. I text him and said dude that post with harley. I think Harley was the first and Harley who would have thought Tractor. Supply.
Speaker 6:Who would have?
Speaker 7:thought.
Speaker 6:Tractor Supply John Deere, harley Davidson.
Speaker 7:There's nothing more North American than when I look at that Harley Davidson emblem and to think what was becoming is startling and the fact that he came in and played a huge part. He was great when he came on. It was really having Robbie on.
Speaker 6:I know I sat back like this. I'm usually right here and I sat back when he started. I just sat back like this.
Speaker 3:No, we realized how. Oh yeah, we didn't have to say a thing. He's the real deal.
Speaker 2:No, yeah, he's the real deal here. What? Here's what the interesting part. Now, this is just my opinion. I don't have any research that supports this. Think about some of these majors. They're getting in college right, accounting, finance. You look down at their disciplines right, they're very scientific disciplines. Then you get over to this not philosophy, but something out there. They can't get jobs, but they go into HR and all of a sudden these little bitty HR departments control the entire company. They scare the CEO into doing stuff that he knows is not right. Some of this stuff is not right. I mean, it is morally bankrupt. Is what they're pushing. And so I think woke is going away too. And what's really beautiful about it?
Speaker 6:that that concept, because it's just coming back to clear thinking the fact that y'all stayed on course since 2013 and didn't give up and didn't quit, because you know you felt it. I'm sure you felt the at some point. It's like why are we doing this? It's like every day. You know you felt it. I'm sure you felt the at some point. It's like why are we doing this?
Speaker 5:it's like every day, you know, we're fighting an uphill battle here it's like, but now
Speaker 4:I never felt that. Well, think about it. I really didn't think about it. It's probably not a whole lot, unlike what you guys felt when you wrote the song and you're so you're thinking, hey, what I? When y'all wrote that song, what came to mind? It's like it's confidence fueled by conviction, because you said, especially in Nashville, where you guys live and make your money, it wasn't real popular to take a stand for what you guys took a stand for no.
Speaker 6:At first it was like we can't write this because nobody's going to say it, Nobody's going to cut it, but we got to write it Right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and Scott, when you say that song what title are you referring? To. What's the title of that?
Speaker 4:It's a beautiful song, anthem. Try that in a small town.
Speaker 3:There it is the name of that song.
Speaker 7:It's like it's an anthem. I've never heard it, but you know what's funny and we talk about this a lot, but when that song came to be and how the perfect combination. It takes a song but then like an Aldine to actually have the stones to do it.
Speaker 7:And that's when the perfect storm happens because it's got to be written. It takes an artist to do it and also it was Jason's vision for the video Yep, and I think it took because the song was doing well. But when the video came out and people saw it was hard to look at for a lot of people and their first reaction to it was to be mad about it. I think it was just hard to look at because it was actually happening.
Speaker 2:It was hard to look at what it had become. The truth is hard. That's the word right there. It's the truth.
Speaker 7:What have we fallen to when you're disrespecting law enforcement? Amen. And I think people that were looking at it were like, well, holy crap, this is happening, but anyway, yeah, it was.
Speaker 4:Well, that's really the reason we're sitting at this table and that's the reason that we chose to sponsor Jason's tour, because there's a lot of people that looked at us and go what you're doing you guys might not want to venture into music, right? I mean, is that really the best spend of your marketing dollars? And we said absolutely. It's brilliant, because what Jason did and what you guys did by coming out with that song is exactly what we've been doing for 11 years is coming out and saying you know what people? We've got a target on our back and it's going to make us an even bigger target. When we go out and we say we put god first, people get mad.
Speaker 3:It pisses everybody, it pisses that, though I mean this country is built on biblical principles Like how did we get to the point where, now, they're taking God out of schools and taking it out of?
Speaker 4:It's insane. Here's something interesting. So about three years ago, right in our school district, we have a wonderful friend of ours named Jason Raper and he sponsored a bill in Arkansas and it said that if any person, if any citizen, presented a poster that simply said in God, we trust to the school district that they had to prominently display that in every school building within the district. Well, we're like, we want this. So we actually got with our congressman in East Texas, brian Hughes. He sponsored the same bill in Texas. Next thing, you know, patriot Mobile, we're printing up. We printed up 4,000 of these.
Speaker 4:And it went like wildfire. Everybody wanted one to present to their school boards. Next thing, you know, the other side, the left, comes out and they start saying well, if they're going to do this, they started putting in God, we Trust in Arabic and with rainbows and all this stuff, oh my gosh.
Speaker 4:Of course they did in god we trust, in arabic and with rainbows and all this stuff. And and our, our state, it's our state's credit. They come up and said enough of the the bs guys, I mean no, this is our. And then the people that got upset about it, and god we trust, it's our national motto you want to take all your money out of your pocket and throw it away. I mean because it's on every bill. They will argue with that this is really kind of funny.
Speaker 2:They will argue with that. No, it's not every bill. They will argue with that. This is really kind of funny.
Speaker 7:They will argue with that. No, it's not the case.
Speaker 2:They will argue with that this is kind of funny. The BBC came into our office Now let me back up. The New York Times came in and I walk up to the front door. Somebody says the New York Times is here and I was like no, true. And I just politely escorted him out, but I took his business card Fast forward.
Speaker 2:About a month and a half we were in DC with Marjorie Dannen, felser and the Susan B Anthony list, pro-life America, and we went into this function and there were people out there really wanting to throw rocks. So think about this. They are wanting to throw rocks. So think about this. They are wanting to riot. And there were more. This is in dc, so think about it. All the, all the great people in dc, uh, anyway.
Speaker 2:So I walked in and this gal walks up to me and she says she works for the new york times and we started talking and all of a sudden we got separated. Fast forward, we're leaving that night. There's probably 500 people out there still and it's uncomfortable, right? You kind of look like that guy on that picture I showed you earlier. Anyway, she, this girl, walks up and goes, would you please walk with me? And I looked over and I said, hey, you're the new york times check. Little did I know. She was the editor. She's the chief of the bureau for the religion section. And so we started talking. I said, hey, one of your staff came into my office and he's like, yeah, I know him. I said is he a good dude? Said she said yes, so I ended up.
Speaker 2:I got home, I made a couple of calls. Marjorie said why was she at your function? You know this is a pro-life function and she writes to the Times. Let's just assume she's probably not on our side. She is. And she said the guy is. So I was like, okay, we call him and bring him in.
Speaker 2:They went to write the wickedest hit piece on us, right on my office, the back wall in god we trust, right, seriously. So he sits down. And I said before you write anything about us or even interview me, I want you to read this. It was a stack of books that we had pulled out of a kindergarten k through sixth grade, and it it's not pornography like you would see in Playboy or whatever magazines, but it was cartoon drawings of guys doing each other. And so I slid it over and I said here, dude, before we get going, I want you to read that.
Speaker 2:Now this dude's a Jewish dude. He's got this rich skin color and he's like this, but I knew he had children. Funniest thing on the planet Big, tough guy. He comes in and all of a sudden he starts looking at this and I knew I had him. He goes like this His face turns white as snow and he goes. He just nodded and I said if that makes me a bad guy, then I'm on, I'll deal with it. But I know in your heart that that's BS and it shouldn't be in any kindergarten school. I don't care about 12th grade, 10th grade, whatever. Fine. That hit piece turned into be one of the best drivers of sales for us for the next five months. Our phones blew off the wall because they basically told the truth. Yeah, and that's rare. We said it earlier about truth.
Speaker 2:Now here one other quick one a few days later the bbc comes in uh, christina, yama kapoor, somebody like this, you know, whatever. And he's sitting there now I'm a red, I'm not afraid of anything, except you guys, I'm terrified. And so we're sitting there and she comes in, they interview us Remember this? And they just are hitting us with questions and I'm not always that articulate, so I kind of bodged a couple of things. They could have made me look like a buffoon and they didn't. But as she's walking out, follow her out. And she got a camera and kind of caught me off guard. She goes you know, you're in god. We trust posters. That's a political thing, right. And I looked at her and I said look, no, it's a part of our national motto. And I pulled out a dollar bill and I said it's on every bill, every coin. If you don't like it, throw it away, give it to me, it's not political.
Speaker 2:It's our Christian. This country was born on Christianity, right you go back. All of them knew it, and so she was like it was the best hit piece as well. That came out a few months later and sales went through the roof.
Speaker 4:They called us Christian Nationalists.
Speaker 1:That's right Christian Nationalists.
Speaker 6:I've seen that.
Speaker 4:Whatever that is, If that means I love Jesus and I love my country.
Speaker 1:I'll tattoo it right on my forehead, I don't care.
Speaker 2:That's better than a Christian Globalist.
Speaker 1:What's the cool thing about y'all's business is, you know, is you're supposed to do what you know and be who you are, you know. And so, and I think, Glenn, you had a relative that was in World War II, you know, in the Army and blowing up bridges and stuff like that, and came back to town and everybody was still you know, military, joined the Navy, and so you grew up, you know, with American values.
Speaker 1:So it's not like just something you came up with and said so hey, you got this great idea. Let's just be American and Christian. It's who you guys are. It really is.
Speaker 2:It really is. I mean, I look at, I grew up with a dad that served in World War II, right, and he kind of understood patriotismism, america, what believing in god is and honoring your neighbor and being respectful, opening the door for a woman and doing all that stuff. Date, that predates that. His grandpa, my great-grandfather, was served in the confederate army in the war against the states and you kind of look at that, he was there at the signing of general lee, signing the uh appomattox courthouse, surrendering, wow, and we met a guy today, right that his dad was there too, and or his great-grandfather.
Speaker 2:But yeah, patriotism is in everybody's core dna, whether they believe it or not. It's just this bullshit. They teach at schools and say, oh, you can be a girl if you want to, just snip, snip, and it's no, that doesn't make. Try to go milk a bull, right?
Speaker 1:I don't care what you think it is not true.
Speaker 2:Well, something will come out, You'll get.
Speaker 7:You've got to hang in there. From what?
Speaker 3:I've heard that's pretty good.
Speaker 5:That's a lot of them Sweet.
Speaker 4:Dumb and Dumber movie. I think Okay, so listen.
Speaker 3:If you're not sold on the mission, which you should be, because it's incredible and, believe me, we were fans of y'all's before we even became partners with you. So we champion what you're doing, but on top of that, the service is incredibly unique. So just speak a little bit about how that works, because I didn't realize. You know the things that you can do.
Speaker 4:That's a great point, actually, and in fact it's typically the number one objection. We get People like, man, I love your mission, but man, it's my cell phone, it's got to work, yeah. And then we get into the chance to explain to them really how we work. So we actually buy from all three of the main US-based carriers, so I can put you on the towers of all the big three.
Speaker 6:Is it T-Mobile, at&t and Verizon.
Speaker 4:T-Mobile, at&t and Verizon. So we buy wholesale from all three of those guys and we repackage it as Patriot Mobile and we have our own 100% US-based customer support, our own billing, our own marketing. The only thing we use the carriers for is the data. We buy the data off the towers.
Speaker 2:Now, the big differentiator here and they're great partners, by the way, they're great partners I mean, you mentioned the service.
Speaker 4:Well, it's the same service you get when you connect on a single carrier. Yeah, work, absolutely the the the difference is we're able to do something really cool so I can have two active lines or on two different networks on a single dual sim enabled smartphone. What does that mean? That means as you travel around you guys travel a lot, you're on the road. This is very when you travel and you're in an area, maybe, where one network is weak, your backup line kicks in and you never lose the use of your cell phone Burner phone.
Speaker 3:I love it. Yeah.
Speaker 4:Go on.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's kind of a built-in thing and it's like you know you were saying I this happens all of the time. Whatever I'm on AT&T Dang, no service. Tully's over here texting and calling away. What are you on? Oh, verizon Shoot. I'm on Patriot Mobile.
Speaker 7:Yeah, all right, now we're talking.
Speaker 2:Do it, baby, it's a Chick-fil-A phone service.
Speaker 4:I'm with that, except you got service on Sunday.
Speaker 7:Yeah, service on Sunday. Yeah, service on Sundays. You've got service on.
Speaker 2:Sundays, but you can eat the chicken on. Sundays.
Speaker 3:See, that's right, but make sure people understand that because I think it's super important it's on one phone.
Speaker 4:It's on one phone. And here's the other thing about it. Just from a peace of mind, do you want your wife or your kids out without the use of their cell phone or their navigation system? The cool thing about it is Not without the use of their cell phone or their navigation system. The cool thing about it is my wife.
Speaker 2:She'll get lost on the way home.
Speaker 4:Oops, so literally with dynamic data switching. You can have your nav system on in your car, you're driving down the road and you'll lose one tower. Another tower will pick up.
Speaker 3:Just automatically.
Speaker 4:That's really cool, you won't lose the use of your nav system. Now I don't want my wife driving around at night without her nav or use of her cell phone. Yeah sure, so there's a peace of mind here as well. That comes with what we call Patriot Mobile One. That's the product that we sell where you can have multiple.
Speaker 2:I like it. That's awesome. I'm going to read this Like Air Force One. Yeah, this is from a guy named Nick Voyacek Life Without Lim limbs. Have you ever heard of him? Uh, he, he, he has born without limbs. He's extraordinarily successful motivational speaker, but he sent this to me back in august. He goes, glenn. I just wanted you to know this.

There was probably 20,000 people at the Charlie Kirk event and so I just let God control my tongue and I gave two months for free. I could see, all of a sudden, all the ripple effect. I'm walking off stage. Glenn, we don't have any of that set up. I said we'll figure it out.

Speaker 3:All right, we are back with the Try that in a Small town podcast we always say this if they would only film us during the uh commercial segment, we're back with scott coburn and glenn story of patriot mobile guys, thanks again for being here, so awesome. Hey, we were talking a little bit, uh, because we were talking about the service, but there's also this privacy phone. I think that's super important for everybody to know about. Yeah, the hardware.
Speaker 1:Tell us about that.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so we got a great. First of all, we've been searching high and low for years for a true privacy phone, and what I mean by that is something that's been de-Googled and taken all the Google tagging services and all the Apple services out, so that, literally, they're not following you around, because you guys know this thing. What did you just say?
Speaker 3:Yeah, this thing, even when it's off, it's still listening.
Speaker 2:Well, the Chinese are listening right now.
Speaker 4:They're all listening. So we actually found one, a friend of ours named Eric Prince, the old Blackwater guy. He joined with a company and they created what's called the unplugged phone or the up phone. We tested this thing for months and it actually works. It's a surveillance free smartphone. So essentially, they've taken the operating system and the hardware, everything, stripped all the tags out of it, okay, and they have what they call the up store, which is like an app store full of all, like thousands of apps that have been stripped of all navigation apps, all kinds of apps that you would normally use in your daily life. They've stripped all the tags out of them. So when you're using that phone in that ecosystem, you're not being followed. You're untraceable, untraceable.
Speaker 1:And get this. I'm telling you, you need this.
Speaker 4:I really do.
Speaker 1:Everybody quiet down.
Speaker 6:My wife will hate that.
Speaker 4:And when you turn it off the power power actually disconnects the battery, so it will not passively listen yeah, because people think you can turn your battery off and then you know, oh, you're safe.
Speaker 3:That's not the case. Yeah, you can test that.
Speaker 4:It's real easy to test turn your phone off and start talking about vacationing in gnome alaska and you'll you'll go down there and look, you'll be served up a gnome alaska or go visit.
Speaker 1:Go visit Is it true that you can put it in the microwave? Does that work? If you turn it off, put it in the microwave. Can you have a conversation? I've heard that from somebody.
Speaker 4:That sounds reasonable. I don't know about that, I'm just saying I've heard it More tequila from our friend I've heard it.
Speaker 1:I don't know if it's that good, I'm just saying, as far as they're going to hear you, logically, we think hey.
Speaker 2:So one caveat though If you download any app outside of their app store, done Infected yeah, it infects all of them. Oh my God, that's scary stuff, is it?
Speaker 5:an actual phone. Yeah, it's a hard brick phone.
Speaker 6:It's a phone. Does it have a camera on it? It's a, really, I can take pictures.
Speaker 4:It actually doesn't look a whole lot, unlike this one. It's got a great camera on it. It's a full feature phone. You can go on our website, patreonmobilecom, and you can forward slash unplugged and you can look at the phone. We sell them or you can buy them and activate them on our network. Yeah, works great.
Speaker 3:That's incredible. Seriously, I encourage everybody to check that out. It's not only with the mission, but the service. Please go check it out. It is awesome. We're happy to be working with you guys, for sure, thrilled. Hey, I do want to talk. Let's get a little topical. We were just Tully and I got to play with Jason at the inauguration, which was incredible. Were you guys there?
Speaker 2:Yes, we were Loved every minute of it.
Speaker 3:So where were you at? What ball, or?
Speaker 2:Well, by the final night yeah or were you balled out?
Speaker 5:I stayed home.
Speaker 2:I mean it was the best thing we ever did. I just watched everything watched him talk at all the three different balls. You know, the boots ball the night before was such a blowout that it was kind of one of those things you were just ready to be balled out.
Speaker 4:Yeah, we actually sponsored that deal and they pulled me up on stage with Cowboy Troy and I got a really good plug-in for Patriot Mobile.
Speaker 7:It was awesome.
Speaker 3:You know, speaking of Cowboy Troy, john Rich I don't know if you guys know John at all. It made me think about a tweet, or what do they call it, now that it's X. It's not a tweet, I don't know.
Speaker 1:It's something we still call them that. Yeah, it's on X, it's just a post.
Speaker 3:And he had a really interesting question. He was like you know, hey, garth and Brad, you know they're okay, they did the Biden inauguration and where are all the conservatives? Where are all the conservative artists?
Speaker 6:It's been my question for years, Amen.
Speaker 3:And he specifically mentioned Jason. Of course it was like hey, Jason's standing up, Look at that, His career's still taking off. But I thought it was an interesting question of like, hey, where are the conservatives? Come on stand up, let's go.
Speaker 6:Yeah, conservatives, come on, stand up, let's go. Yeah, we need more of that. And it was interesting too, because, uh, the village people played one of the balls balls. Did you see? They played after us. Okay, so did you see what they did on social? Now being open for the oh yeah, now that's fantastic and they, they are not on our side.
Speaker 4:No, they came out and apologized on social to all their fans for playing you're kidding.
Speaker 3:So they just took the money and then apologized Not at Snoop Dogg, he was up there smoking dope on stage.
Speaker 2:We were 20 feet from him. He's like he goes.
Speaker 4:I mean, his inhale was at least a minute long. That's not really a surprise.
Speaker 3:I didn't know if Snoop had a change of heart or if he was just grabbing the money, it's all about dollars, he smokes weed. No, I was grabbing the money, dude, it's all about dollars. He smokes weed. No spine, no spine.
Speaker 2:No. I don't think he smokes it, I think he eats it. I thought he quit, yeah, for about 10 minutes. Anybody that?
Speaker 6:would apologize for playing that.
Speaker 2:A coward, spineless, weak spineless.
Speaker 3:I'm sorry, hey, what about Carrie? Let's talk for a second. For that she's a freaking pro. That was a total.
Speaker 4:Let me ask you you guys are all obviously very musically inclined how hard, especially that song, how hard would that have been in that moment to just pull that off?
Speaker 1:Not everybody could do that. She's a pro.
Speaker 7:It's not. That's right. I think Carrie's like an old school veteran performer, like Jason and these guys that have been doing it for Kenny and everybody. They're old school performers. The new crop would never do that they would have panicked, not in a million years, but Carrie, she's confident.
Speaker 3:I can do it. I think I could count on one hand the number of countries that could pull that off when?
Speaker 6:Carrie looked over there at whoever the sound guy was or whatever was going wrong technically and she looked over. She goes.
Speaker 1:I'll just sing it well, and she and she went, she winked at it, she got somebody messed up.
Speaker 6:Here's what she knew it yeah yeah, she's she said, I'll just sing it acapella that's a pro and nailed it.
Speaker 4:There is it was actually better.
Speaker 7:Very few, very few people are, uh, performers would have done that. They would have just not did it. They would have just some it froze, it would have froze that was a total, and they just wouldn't have proven it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, right, I mean she killed it and she's an all-american girl.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh not at all.
Speaker 2:We love Carrie.
Speaker 3:Carrie's a yeah, that's one of those moments you're proud to be, yeah, full pro.
Speaker 6:But you would think after she, you know, after she announced she was going to sing at the inauguration, that there would have been a few more going and it had broken the ice and they were like you know what we're going to step out and I think it's going to happen. Why do you guys think that is? Why do you think it is?
Speaker 3:I mean, we kind of talked about this a lot, and it's interesting that the country music business is not a conservative group, as most big businesses aren't. They're more on the other side, but the other side. But the demographic is yes, I know it. So it's just we've talked about this a lot. Why are there not more people? That? And it's not even like you've got to get on a soapbox, it's just, you know.
Speaker 6:Yeah, you don't have to do that, you don't have to get up there. I'm a Trump supporter. All of a sudden, you don't have to do that.
Speaker 2:I think they're just terrified of getting bashed by the left. The left is ugly. Okay, let me say this more conservatively They'll just tear you up. I mean, they'll get posts from everybody and they just tear people up and nobody really wants to be punched at or nobody wants to be harpooned.
Speaker 6:I think they're more afraid of the powers that be than there are, the fan base, even the fan base that lean a little left or whatever. I think it's more the people that are in charge.
Speaker 4:The record labels, yes, okay, yeah, we talk about it all the time.
Speaker 7:It's a shame. I just had a conversation on the phone on the way here with someone who thinks completely different than me, and that's fine. I said look, you know what the great thing about being an American is? That you have the right to support whatever platform you want to support. But what's not right is to persecute a side. You just don't want to hear it. You don't want to hear, you don't want to hear their the other side of it. I don't understand that. I don't understand the where the give and take went away yeah, you know the listening to each other.
Speaker 7:Respecting the other person's opinion is so it's such a healthy thing to do. You know, I hate that. We've lost that and it's kind of sad even talking about it.
Speaker 6:That's where thrash gets red flagged when he starts talking third person watch out.
Speaker 4:This is new, I agree though, do y'all think that let's take the song that you guys did and the boldness that Jason had?
Speaker 2:The song Did they?
Speaker 4:only do one. Well, let's try that song.
Speaker 2:You know that you guys did, and and the boldness that just song, do they only do one?
Speaker 4:Well it's, it's try that in a small town.
Speaker 1:Yes, it started this thing but, but.
Speaker 4:But do you think that would? Because that song went, I believe, number one on billboard everywhere, everywhere. Yeah. Wouldn't that inspire others, others in their hearts that believe what we believe to come out and be a little more bold to say look what happened there. That's what we try to do at Patriot Mobile for other businesses.
Speaker 7:We want to be a model. Do you know what happened, though? Here's where Jason having incredible backbone and just being a good person and a good American, the song was great for so many reasons, but it's not, like you know, he didn't pay and we didn't pay a price for that. Like you know. That's where you did. We haven't been on television a lot since then. You know, um, we used to do a lot of late night shows late night shows, kimball and found we used to do those shows Since 05,. We've done those shows countless countless times.
Speaker 6:Their ratings are so down.
Speaker 7:But the point is though, as an artist though, that's true. But the point is, as an artist, though, you still want to feel like you're doing the TV show. So he knew that going in, we knew that would be a price to pay, but it's not like that. Standing up for what you believe in is never easy, and it always has a little bit of a burn to it, and believe me, this podcast didn't help either.
Speaker 3:No, and on top of that, but but but when?
Speaker 1:when jason, when he released that song, you know, uh, as, as you said, try that in a small town. It actually to me was a beginning of conservatives speaking out and saying things, and once you have one guy or girl say something and everybody says wow, that's pretty bold and it still was successful.
Speaker 3:They stood their ground, they still couldn't kill it.
Speaker 1:And it ended up being the most successful song he's ever had. We've ever had. Then other people they're conservatives and they love America and they love God and all these things, and it's in line with everybody who loves their music, which I mean it's kind of a no-brainer and everybody says, well, maybe I'll, I may speak up, you know, I may say something. And then you did have other artists. You have Oliver Anthony was after that and all of a sudden said, man, where did he come from with that message? You know, interesting, and that worked really well and that created a whole other career for a guy and that worked really well and that created a whole nother career for a guy. And then you have other people speaking up. So I do think that that you know Jason being that courageous to put out that particular content and, regardless of what people thought, thought about him, I do think that started something and it ended up with the man we have in the white house right now.
Speaker 7:But it's different for Jason, though, because when you have a pinnacle of success, like he's had in a body of work, that you have a lot to lose, and for him I'm not saying Oliver Anthony I'm happy for him, but he kind of he rode a little bit of that wave that's what I mean.
Speaker 7:But, for Jason, that's all I'm saying, but for but for Jason, what I always was really, really pumped up about was that you know everybody's saying you know, in the business side, Jason, don't, don't do that, because you know you're going to upset people and he's like, look, I believe in it. You know my fan base is that was is. If he knows his fan base. That guy knows his fan base better than any artist I've ever seen and so it was. It was super. I was so proud of him. You know we we talked about it like is he gonna? Is it gonna come out? We, kayla, we talked about this like you worried about it, not lost a thousand bucks yeah, did he pay up?
Speaker 7:yes, okay good um crisp. But you know, it was great when you, when you, you know, jason went out there on a limb for what he believed in, you know, I think that was amazing, you know. You know that's what I was saying. I was saying he started I just feel he started a.
Speaker 1:He did that he started away for sure start that and makes it easier for others, just like you know anything else but after that came out, though.
Speaker 7:What's interesting, though, is that, even with the success of that, you still have labels telling young artists not to do patriotic stuff. That one percent, remember? We just talked about it, the hr group yeah hey that.
Speaker 2:So what you just said I I love that is we try to stand on stage or talk with folks and say a little bit differently. We say, look, it's okay to put God in your business. It really is. And people are kind of terrified about it because, oh, hr will come after you, because it takes a lot of chutzpah to go against the grain and what y'all did is went against the grain. No, no debate about it. I and you'll be rewarded with, rewarded by it for many, many, many times over, and the real beauty of it. I think we're just starting to see the change. I think that I think trump is right that it is the golden age it's coming through. I feel it. We travel everywhere. Y'all ride in buses and stuff and we'll get in cabs and I'll talk with anybody. My sister used to say I would talk to a dead dog in the road and that's probably true but, you know, I'll say well, what do you think?
Speaker 2:my first question generally is you know how you doing? Are you doing? You know that? And I said, well, how's work? And generally they say it's hard. No, then kind of migrate into, you know politics, and it's really interesting. We were in Milwaukee probably the darkest of times, and we walk in and our cab driver, he goes. I'm first generation American and he goes. I love Trump, you know. I think that's the vast majority of people. I think even this voting was probably not as, not as, uh, close as it looked. I mean, it wasn't close, by the way, you guys have to hear my trump story at some point in time, well, but you can't just not, yeah, all right.
Speaker 2:So I'll tell them anyway. So we were, uh, I've had the luxury of being present with him a number of times and I'll show you a picture. We even prayed over him one time. It was really kind of we put my I. I have to figure out how to show the picture, but my wife is like every one of your wives you love them and you love them even more. But they tell you what to do, right? So we put our arms around trump. There was five of us and we sit up there and go.
Speaker 2:I prayed and as soon as I said amen, my wife god bless her he put, she puts her arm around him and points at him and he says President Trump, we know that you have the greatest heart of any president this United States has ever seen. You love the country, you love your kids, you love everything. I know that. He's like yes, ma'am. And President Trump goes. Oh, but she said but everybody, the bad guys know it too. So next time somebody passes out off stage because this is right after he got shot the first time Whatever you do, don't walk down there and love on them, because you get out from out behind that protection perimeter, you're dead man walking and she goes he's like this. You know that, look, and he's like, you're right, I will do. I'll make sure it was one of the most impressive.
Speaker 4:They got a picture of her. I got them. She's.
Speaker 6:I can't believe you didn't hire right then. And there I got a picture. I got him she's. She's doing this. I can't believe he's doing this.
Speaker 4:There's so many pictures of somebody doing this, you know, to president Trump. It was pretty funny Wow.
Speaker 2:It's a beautiful. But the next picture he's smiling. I I'd never seen that smile before. And so somebody tried to tell me that wasn't president Trump and I was like okay, president Trump. And I'm like okay, it was the Pope of Rome. But anyway, one other discussion, one other. This is kind of cool. I was sitting over there and he was one person away and he's talking. Now one of my best buddies not best, but a great buddy of mine Tim O'Hare in Fort Worth, texas. He's now the county judge, like third or fourth most powerful guy in the state of texas. He was running and I knew that I was going to be sitting down with president trump. So it's kind of funny.
Speaker 2:President trump talks a lot, makes me look like a quiet guy, but I shouldn't say that just kidding anyway so he's sitting there talking and I'm like, okay, we've been here about an hour and he has not come up for air. So finally I said, excuse me, president Trump, you know, hi, he goes. Well, what do you need? I said one of my good buddies is running for office and he needs your endorsement, and he needs it now he goes. Well, tell me about him. He goes. I said, look, he's the fourth most powerful guy. This is really incredible. And he goes. I said, look, he's the fourth most powerful guy. He's, this is really incredible. And he goes. Okay, so you know, I don't get to talk to the president every day, so I figured I would keep talking, you know. So he's dictating to the the gal his uh aid yeah, the aid that writes everything she's, she's writing it down and I go.
Speaker 2:But I want you to know this is a tough battle. So I see him, look at me now and he goes tell me what you mean. I said, well, fort worth is a blood red county 10 years ago. The mayor has turned it blue and he's running against the mayor. He goes. Does he really want my endorsement? I said, yeah, of course he goes. Get the guy on the phone right now. Are you serious? So back then, yeah, I got it back then. I had two phones with me before patriot mobile, so I ended up I call him. So I I you know, hey, tim, I've got the president of the United.
Speaker 3:States on the phone.
Speaker 2:Do you have time to talk with him? And out of my hand it was pretty funny. Out of my hand, lee grabs my phone and says Glenn's not kidding, the President wants to talk to you. So I slide the phone over. And as you hear me sliding the phone over, you hear this phone over and, as you hear, me sliding the phone over. You hear this. The car slides off the road because he was driving his daughter to soccer.
Speaker 2:You know it's a saturday morning, there's saturday. They pull over and he goes uh, president trump. He goes yes, tim, and they have this dialogue. So I'll very subtly go like this with my other other I got it going.
Speaker 2:I'm sitting here recording it. It was pretty cool and he ended up it's kind of interesting he ended up dictating, said okay, I'm gonna do it, and he let it go like a week later. But he called the lieutenant governor and said, hey, do you know this glenn guy? He's asked me to endorse tim and he goes. Yeah, tim's a great candidate. I met the lieutenant governor a couple weeks later and we were sitting there talking. He goes you mean that you're the glenn? You're the guy that got president trump to call? And I said, yeah, he goes. Let me give you my number. You know we've. It's pretty cool, but the beautiful thing is the guy won in a landslide. He beat the socks off of this gal, but she's a communist, right. She took a great county, turned it blue and now we're getting it back to red.
Speaker 6:What does that?
Speaker 2:say about Trump he's got chutzpah To take a call, he's got chutzpah and he's got the power. And you know what? Because people trust him. We love I don't know idling, but I like, I love him as the leader of our country, because the bottom line is like he's relating amen to the everyman.
Speaker 7:You're right, that's right. And the left, the left, the left has, the left has has become only the party of the elite. Amen. So that's why the whole map is red, yeah.
Speaker 2:With the exception of the little slivers on each side of the coast.
Speaker 7:But they took a hit too. Yeah, they did yeah. They're going to be coming this way soon and you hope I mean I hope to come out like that. But you think the left would learn, but it doesn't feel like they are, but you. But you know they should have learned something by this.
Speaker 4:It did amazing in the last week, like just what he's done in a week Unbelievable. What.
Speaker 7:what is the, the, the intense light it has shown on the last four years and what the absence of a true commander in chief really is, and the fact that he's actually going out and talking to the press, and the press they beat him up. Yeah, he's like, look, I'm here. And the press is even saying like god, we weren't used to this with biden, like he, they, they shelter him to the point where they never trumps out.
Speaker 6:They're fully transparent and god, you got to appreciate that I think there's a lot of people that have climbed up on the fence from the left. They've climbed up on the fence. But they fake it and they're leaning. They want to listen a little bit more to what's happening. They're asking questions and they're on the fence. There's a lot more fence riders right now who are leaning a little bit more. I hope you're right. Yeah, but media-wise I feel it For a minute.
Speaker 1:It seemed like they were talking sensibly and thinking hey, you know what we did? We missed our messaging and we didn't relate to the working man, as Telly would say. And that happened for just a few days. And then, now that Trump is doing all this stuff just day after day, they're back exactly where they were when they lost the election.
Speaker 7:The hardcore ones are Media, absolutely MSNBCs. I don't know how they're even I mean, still operating. I'm not sure it'll be for long.
Speaker 6:I tend to agree.
Speaker 3:I know the border is an important issue to you and, from what I understand, you've been down there and speaking of what Trump has done in the last week, talk a little bit about that, because I think you've seen firsthand what has gone down.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm going to start it, but I want him to tell the story because he was there. I didn't go this particular. We've been down there. We feed the Border Patrol. One of our four pillars is life right, but life is from cradle to grave or womb to grave and we'll have a tornado. In Texas Valley View We'll fill up a truck full of brisket sandwiches and take them up to the folks and we took what? 1,000 pounds of meat down to the border, 500 pounds of meat down to the border, Amazing, A semi full of meat and a semi smoker. And we smoked all of that beef.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, it was amazing Feeding the border who on the left did that.
Speaker 6:No one, no one. It was great. I just want the money.
Speaker 7:That's what the song's about. Yeah, you know it's right helping your neighbor. It's just incredible what you guys are doing, but continue yeah, it's, it was really cool.
Speaker 2:We, we, my wife tells the story better than anybody. She's. She's great heart, great person, a little bossy at times anyway, so we'll edit that out this evening.
Speaker 7:It's a good thing, yeah. Yeah, it is a good thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it is a good thing, it's a good thing, Because if I, you know, whatever Anyway.
Speaker 1:I better stop all that.
Speaker 2:Anyway. So she's standing there. We have taken trays of barbecue. Now we fed the border patrol, the state and local jurisdictional guys. It wasn't really for the folks coming across, although if they wanted a piece of food we were going to have some food, anyway. So she's sitting there talking to this military man tough guy. Because I walked up as they're both crying, I was like I think I'm gonna go the other way, you know, but anyways, they were talking and jenny goes. You know. Well, I'm gonna feed you and they're talking. That may even make me cry, but what was interesting is she's just started talking with him. They haven't talked to normal people in a while, just the military guys. They're seeing this.
Speaker 2:Anyway, she said what's going on and she goes. He said look, the worst thing I've seen lately is a man running across the water and he's crying. They just shot my wife and that's my daughter up on the hill and the cartel has the 16-year-old girl swinging her around like a rag doll. And this guy said look, it took every ounce of energy that I had not to put a red dot on his head and blow his skull off. Pardon the language, but that was what he said. And what's interesting, they just started weeping and hugging on each other. And I walk up and I'm kind of like it's real right, and these crummy, commie democrat dems don't even acknowledge the 300,000 or 400,000 kids that have been raped, molested. And look, we walked all over the border.
Speaker 2:One of our friends has a ranch, literally in Eagle Pass, texas, where all the film is, and there's this debris I mean it's women's undergarments, I mean it's women's undergarments and it's just. You're sitting there going. Take any one of these crummy Democrats, whether their core belief is real or not, make them go look at it, because you go over there for a minute. But I want Scott to tell, because we are filming this.
Speaker 2:Three years ago we were putting a documentary together. We wanted everybody in the country to see what's really going on, because in the media would talk about it no, not at all. So we were down there filming. So I'm going to set it up because he'll knock it out of the park. He was down there. We we had full military cover, right, we had these guys that were watching us on our side. We had paid them to be full security detail, if you will. And so we were going in eagle pass, going across the border scouting stuff out, getting this stuff. We were trying to find the houses with all the children. They were in el paso and they were going through el paso on the south side. What town?
Speaker 4:well, we were in el paso to start. We we did end up going over into juarez, most dangerous juarez and unarmed, because you couldn't obviously couldn't bring guns over.
Speaker 4:But we, we took three cars over and we had full body armor on. But I mean it was, they said, uh, the one thing you want to do we were bringing the film crews over there and we were focusing more on the human trafficking and the and all of that stuff, because it's rampant over there. So we wanted to bring the film crew over and really expose some of that. And we got over there and we got our caravan got pulled over by the police and the mexican police said what are you guys doing here? And we're like, we're filming. That was our cover.
Speaker 3:And so journalists- we're journalists, we're filming, that was our cover, and so, journalists, we're journalists we're filming uh like Catholic charities or whatever we said we were doing.
Speaker 4:Okay, Well, the minute you're on the police, uh scanner, the cartel knows you're there. So the the guys were with know this, because we're with ex sheriffs from back in the in the States and they're like out of here and so we're hauling to get out of town and narrow streets.
Speaker 4:I'm in the middle car and the front car is there and there's the rate. I'm, we're listening to the radio and the guy in the back says don't turn there, don't turn there, don't turn there. He takes a right and now we are in what they call a hot box. We're in an alley two-story buildings on either side and there's cars parked across the the front of it. And I thought that's it. Man, we're toast. But we pulled up and one of the locals that was with us gets out, gets a guy to move the car. Now we're right in the middle of the red light district. The cartel knows we're there. It was insane but we got a ton of that on film, like really what's going on, and then getting out of there. There there was a four-hour wait to get back over the international bridge. We had to end up going out through into another province, over in, and then up through new mexico and back into el paso. We didn't get home till like two in the morning.
Speaker 2:It let me tell you that was intense yeah, it's intense listening to it, yeah but here's even a crazy one the next night or the night before, they're across the street watching, you know, scouting it with their night vision.
Speaker 4:And these guys, young men, they had a hole in the hole in the in the wall right here, and we're watching these people behind the fence and we're filming all this and we're on the other side of the highway. There's a highway and then the fence. We're on the good guy side. There's a border patrol station 200 yards down right here, but there's a hole in the fence and all of a sudden they just start pouring through and we had a guy with us. Now we are armed at this point. We had a guy with us and and, uh, and he he ended up apprehending two of the guys and got them on the ground and and it were interrogating him, saying what, where are you guys? Just trying to get some stuff on film. Turns out there were 30 turkish military age men, turkish, uh, five of it, which were trained pilots. So you tell me why they're coming? Yeah, across and right, right. And so we call the border patrol down there the station. They're like let him go.
Speaker 4:We were not going to let him go on him and and most of them got away, but we kept a few of them that we had detained and the the texas uh dps guys came over and they ended up taking them in process. But I'll tell you, all they were going to do is take them, process them into one of these ngo operations and they were going to get a 1200 check and uh, you know a cell phone and be. It's infuriating, it really is.
Speaker 7:Not anymore, baby, you remember when we played.
Speaker 6:we went and we did that private show in El Paso and Trump was.
Speaker 5:When was this?
Speaker 6:This was when Trump was president the first time. Oh, got it. So we went into El Paso. They came and picked us up in a jet. This dude sent his jet to Nashville and picked us up, and we went back to El Paso. We landed, they came and picked us up in a jet. This dude sent his jet to Nashville and picked us up and we went back to El Paso that's where he lived and we were talking to these guys who were hosting the event and they said that El Paso was one of the safest cities in the country. And we're sitting there looking at Juarez the whole time. He's telling us this across the interstate.
Speaker 1:That's the first time we'd actually seen the wall not on TV, but you actually saw it.
Speaker 6:Yeah, and we're looking at all this. And at that time El Paso was one of the safest cities, if not the safest in the country, because Trump was in power and the cartel told their people do not mess up in the United States of America. You see that fence right there. If you mess up in the united states of america, you see that fence right there, if you mess up over there, we're going to kill you. And he's telling us all this stuff the, the cartel cannot mess up in the united states because it's going to, it's going to really mess up their business. And then, of course, you know trump's terms over and then it turns back into what it is now, or not now, but before trump got in, and it's going to go back again. It just tells you. It's just the tale of two terms.
Speaker 2:Well, our friend down on Eagle Pass, he had cleared out. It's just bizarre. You think about the Rio Grande. It's a pretty wide river, right At least down in Eagle Pass it's a good 50 yards, but it's really shallow, but it was overgrown like jungle, so he cleared. He was clearing it out.
Speaker 4:They'd find bodies, many, many different and they found seven bodies in a in a, you know, half a mile, quarter mile stretch that they cleared yeah, and he says you just, you can smell them anyway.
Speaker 2:So he cleared all that out because he wanted to be able to stop it. The feds took over his property. They came in and sprayed some kind of pesticide and I didn't. I forgot the most part. They basically killed, I think think, 10,000 pecan trees. He's got 2,000 acres and every you know the sequence, how they do it every one of them have died and I mean you think about that, that was a pecan.
Speaker 2:Generational family business, yeah, and it's income producing. So it's not like we just had one bad year of pecans. They're dead. So it's like and what's going to happen? They'll? If it's worth 10 million bucks, they'll probably give him 500 000. You just kind of look at it.
Speaker 3:Y'all should go down there one time and see I mean it, it sounds frightening, but I would love to, just for the education of it. I mean it's like I you know you're talking about the media and stuff and how they're uh approaching this like, oh my god, I can't believe they're taking out, they have a quota of what they're going to take out a day, like that's a bad thing. Or it's like, what are you doing? These people are? They do not belong here, that's right they're doing harm to our country, right?
Speaker 3:oh yeah, sex driving and the fentanyl is just like sickening.
Speaker 2:How much fentanyl have you seen?
Speaker 6:130,000 pills today.
Speaker 4:He's been in jail cells we walked in the sheriff I think it was Maverick County Sheriff's Department and they walked us in the evidence room. Wow, really.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean room. Wow, really yeah. I mean floor to ceiling.
Speaker 4:Room probably four or five times as big as this room right here, floor to ceiling. Every drug you can imagine, yeah, the smell of it, yeah, and he said he goes they'll clean it out. Often he goes. This is just probably a month or two.
Speaker 6:How many lives is Trump saving now? That's right.
Speaker 2:Our team. We have a one-ton truck, 26-foot trailer, and it's Patriot Mobile all over it and we do various things with it. We go from show to show. Little things compared to y'all. However. I was on the phone. I love the strum up business.
Speaker 2:So I called the party chair in Georgia and I said hey, I need to know. I mean I just said, hey, this is what's going on. I said how are you doing? He said Glenn, do you really want to know? I said well, of course, don't BS me. He goes life sucks. I said really. I said what do you mean? What do you mean? He goes east of 75 is destroyed. I mean the hurricane hit. You know everybody's going to north carolina. He says nobody's coming to georgia. I said really, what do you need? And he goes we need generators, we need diapers, we need wipes, we need formula, all this. So we went in that that next. That was friday about four o'clock I think I called you, but you were out of town. So I went over to the local hardware store. I cleared out all the generators. We bought like 25, 30, 40 generators. We went by costco, took all the diapers, we took all the wipes, packed this trailer full. So we met with the sheriff of not maverick county, one of the counties down in georgia east of 75. You know, we hit a path and they went through.
Speaker 2:Anyway. They were the guys that did it. He's a professional, former professional soccer player, tough guy, he's jovial and loves being american. He's brazilian, now us citizen. Uh, he's married to our former cfo. Anyway, they're driving down the road and he's, he has this. We're supposed to go left and ruben, if you're listening, I probably will mess it up. Anyway, they go right, they stay straight and as they're driving down the road, there's a group of people or a shack over there and they're they're trying to collect stuff and need stuff, and the woman that was standing there flagged him over, say they pull over.
Speaker 2:And it was really interesting because ruben gets out of the car and says hey, how are you doing? She goes it sucks, you know, wife. And he goes well, what can I do for you? Can I give you a generator? She goes I don't need generators, we have generators. I need formula diapers and wipes. I literally just said amen, this is what I'm looking for. And Ruben goes, come back here, opens the thing and they have shelf and shelf after shelf of diapers and he starts crying. She starts crying. She starts crying because she, she goes. I literally just prayed for diapers and wipes and you know, you just look at that. Is that the hand of god? No question, right? You just look at it.
Speaker 2:You got this grown man. He's 50, 60 years old and he's just crying. They're crying together because the prayers were answered. Right there, trump's getting trump getting shot, right. I talked to Don Jr the other day on the phone. You know he's on his walk and he goes. I've been with my dad a thousand times and I've never seen him look to the left and bend over. He goes. That's a higher being. I said, don, that was a miracle that played out right in front of us. He goes. I know, and I said the same thing. This happened with us in georgia. She literally said amen, I need this, please, father, amen. And here comes ruben and our guys walking up.
Speaker 6:Here's your formula diaper and wipes just a miracle every day, yeah, he just sits.
Speaker 2:It gives me goosebumps, you know I said it the other day and I about started crying, because it's like you know us, this little little fledgling patriot mobile company that unabashedly says we love the lord and savior are we, are, he's in charge, we love our country. I don't really care about you commies over on the left. We're here to serve our country and be patriots. We can have an impact. Y'all are having an impact on us. We want to lift y'all up too.
