Episode 1660 - Controversial Sheriff Turned Congressman Mark Lamb

[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome to Drinking Throw. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, welcome to Drinking Throw's Kids Friday. [SPEAKER_02]: We're going on Patreon now, right? [SPEAKER_02]: There's no need for YouTube anymore. [SPEAKER_02]: We'll do maybe Thursday's show on there, but let's face it. [SPEAKER_02]: They're giving us $4. [SPEAKER_02]: Why are they giving us $4. [SPEAKER_00]: because we've controversial guest on like Sheriff Mark Lamb here. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this is like the least controversial person.

[SPEAKER_02]: I know Mark, every article about you is controversial. [SPEAKER_02]: He's crazy. [SPEAKER_02]: He's a loose cannon. [SPEAKER_02]: Look, you're no longer a sheriff, that's one, two, you won your primary. [SPEAKER_02]: So you're more than likely being Congress. [SPEAKER_02]: Unless the the ballots go the way of California here, this fall, but we'll see. [SPEAKER_02]: We'll see.

[SPEAKER_02]: What's the controversy behind you exactly and why does the media keep painting you like this in every single article? [SPEAKER_01]: I think the media has dropped about nine articles on me in the last two weeks. [SPEAKER_01]: The worst part about it is the guy who is supposedly of Republican, which we highly doubt that, brought in some real dark money, and they have honestly run. [SPEAKER_01]: He's the one that's pushed all these articles out into the mainstream as well.

[SPEAKER_01]: So not only are I combating the leftist media, who doesn't want real patriots in Washington, DC, and I'm also combating a guy who clearly wants this position so much that he's [SPEAKER_01]: But honor and money and anything at it so that he can get it. [SPEAKER_01]: So look, the reality is, Washington doesn't want guys like me there.

[SPEAKER_01]: They don't want people that are going to go and hold the politicians accountable or try to peel back government and regulations, try to reduce taxes or get rid of them. [SPEAKER_01]: try to protect a second amendment. [SPEAKER_01]: This, I am not the kind of guy that they want in Washington, DC and the fact that they're attacking me the way they are, I should tell you everything you need to know about who needs to represent your Washington, DC.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and you're running in a Penal County, Arizona. [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure you probably had a close eye in the recent California primaries in those elections. [SPEAKER_02]: Let's face it. [SPEAKER_02]: Arizona doesn't have the best history as far as voting goes up a lot. [SPEAKER_00]: statewide and I went when the Secretary of State who's in charge of elections runs for governor and then doesn't recuse herself. [SPEAKER_00]: That's a bit of a problem.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, talking about Katie Hobbes. [SPEAKER_02]: What's your relationship with her and are you worried going in November? [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I wasn't as worried, but now with all the attacks from that my the left is put on me the media. [SPEAKER_01]: And by the way, the media is no longer the press that the found me father set up, they are activists, they're political activists trying to interfere in elections and they're trying to dictate who gets to serve in Washington DC.

[SPEAKER_01]: and they're trying to do the dirty work of the Democrats, and then you've got other Republicans, which is part of our problem in Arizona, we got Republicans that are fighting each other. [SPEAKER_01]: And by the time we get to the general election, we've spent all our money fighting each other and disparaging each other, which I have never done, won't do, won't spend a penny on it.

[SPEAKER_01]: Either I win off of my qualifications and my expertise and who I am and what I've done the last eight years as a sheriff or I don't. [SPEAKER_01]: And guess what, if I don't, I'll probably make way more money and I'll go out and I can do a show like your guys is where I can just say what I want. [SPEAKER_01]: It'll be great. [SPEAKER_01]: But the reality is, Arizona has got to get our crap straight. [SPEAKER_01]: Katie Hobbs, I've spent a lot of time around Katie Hobbs.

[SPEAKER_01]: She will actually give audience to the sheriff's, which we appreciate. [SPEAKER_01]: politics on, you know, obviously way jacked up. [SPEAKER_01]: And it hasn't been good for the state of Arizona. [SPEAKER_01]: Our attorney general hasn't been good. [SPEAKER_01]: We got two Democrats senators. [SPEAKER_01]: We got a whole mess of issues. [SPEAKER_01]: We got to fix. [SPEAKER_01]: And that's why they're so afraid of a guy like me. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, often more important.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is actually a soprano's quote, but more important than the particular decision you make is the speed and confidence with which you make it. [SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_00]: It's like when you allow [SPEAKER_00]: doubt and institution to fester unchecked. [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't matter how good of a job you're doing. [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_00]: If you let the apparent, this is why standards and being above board are so important in these positions because even a whiff of malfeasance just sours everybody on the process. [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean? [SPEAKER_00]: And rightfully so, because our politicians in this country are terrible people for the most part.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and what I'm finding, Mark, is more and more sheriffs seem to be running in a lot of these elections, not only in state but federal, and we just saw Chad Bianco running California, he was on the show as well. [SPEAKER_02]: Is it because you're noticing the crime policies when you were you know, sheriffs in an office there and then trying to apply those to the rest of the community [SPEAKER_02]: for lack of a better word.

[SPEAKER_02]: I guess these penalties for these criminals keep getting lighter and lighter and lighter. [SPEAKER_02]: And I don't understand what is happening. [SPEAKER_02]: We just saw in Texas with the Carmelo Anthony case, I don't think 35 years was enough, me personally, but how do you correct that? [SPEAKER_02]: And what do you do as a congressman to kind of either [SPEAKER_02]: get better budgeting or get better judges or tougher crime policies, how do you do that as a congressman?

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, there's a lot that you asked there. [SPEAKER_01]: Let me start off first off, light more sheriffs or running. [SPEAKER_01]: Look, we know a fight when we see one. [SPEAKER_01]: Same with the military guys. [SPEAKER_01]: We can see it on the horizon. [SPEAKER_01]: We're in a battle of good and evil. [SPEAKER_01]: And we're watching as people are trying to take away our freedoms. [SPEAKER_01]: As sheriffs, we're the last bastion of freedom.

[SPEAKER_01]: We're the last protective line to protect you from the bad guys and from the government. [SPEAKER_01]: And from them taking away your freedoms. [SPEAKER_01]: And so, you know, on the reason I'm not the sheriff now is because I ran for the US Senate, [SPEAKER_01]: And when I lost, I had to retire. [SPEAKER_01]: But I ran because nobody, I could be the best sheriff in the world, but I can only protect my herd for so long.

[SPEAKER_01]: If somebody doesn't go out in the hunt, those wolves, they're going to multiply and replenish and eventually, even the best of sheriffs can't stop it. [SPEAKER_01]: Chad Bianco saw the same thing in California. [SPEAKER_01]: Total chaos and corruption in that state. [SPEAKER_01]: And he decided he was going to do something about it. [SPEAKER_01]: I decided I would do something about it. [SPEAKER_01]: The border is still a big issue. [SPEAKER_01]: Crime is devolving in this country.

[SPEAKER_01]: We're getting worse and worse. [SPEAKER_01]: And you say you bring up a great point. [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of it is this, this George Soes pushing to get bad district attorneys, county attorneys elected. [SPEAKER_01]: Because even if you have a great sheriff, if you have an attorney that's a revolving door and even worse judges who are complicit in that, it's a real problem. [SPEAKER_01]: I think judges is one of the primary problems in this country.

[SPEAKER_01]: they're legislating from the bench because Congress has become fictitious and inefficient and they've advocated their duties off onto the other branches. [SPEAKER_01]: The judicial be in one of them. [SPEAKER_01]: So you have judges who are actually activists, they're making decisions, they're legislating from the bench. [SPEAKER_01]: Now you say, well, how do you fix that? [SPEAKER_01]: How do you fix the crime, how do you fix the activism? [SPEAKER_01]: Here's how you fix it.

[SPEAKER_01]: Because right now there's no there's no consequences for them. [SPEAKER_01]: You know, in law enforcement, they are trying like their damnedest to get rid of qualified immunity for cops. [SPEAKER_01]: And let me explain to people what qualified immunity is.

[SPEAKER_01]: Qualified immunity gives us the coverage to where if I show up and I'm making a, [SPEAKER_01]: Good, a split second decision, but I'm doing it in well-intentioned and I'm trying to do the right thing and protect people and maybe it doesn't go right, I've got protection. [SPEAKER_01]: If I do something illegal and moral or unethical, qualified immunity doesn't protect you.

[SPEAKER_01]: So qualified immunity protects us because we're making split second decisions on the street trying to save people. [SPEAKER_01]: judges and attorneys, man, they've got all the time in the world to make a decision. [SPEAKER_01]: They've got to have all the time in the world to look at a case.

[SPEAKER_01]: So when they release a criminal back to the street because of their upbringing or their skin color or some other thing, and that person revictumizes somebody else, another American, [SPEAKER_01]: I think that if you made prosecutors and judges more so liable, similarly and criminally liable for every time they release somebody back to the street that victimize another American, then they should be held accountable. [SPEAKER_01]: They don't deserve qualified immunity.

[SPEAKER_01]: They have all the time in the world to make a decision. [SPEAKER_01]: And so I think if you remove that, you're going to have judges who really have to think hard and long about whether they're going to do this job and I promise you, they won't release it. [SPEAKER_01]: Legal's on to the street and they won't release criminals on to the street because they don't want to be civilly liable or potentially criminally liable for their bad decisions.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right now there's no consequences for them. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: I agree. [SPEAKER_02]: And as I watch this unfold, uh, I just don't know how do you stop, let's say a George Soros, like you said, from funding these judges and other cities. [SPEAKER_02]: We just came from Austin, Texas where they had funded, uh, all the judges there, the DA there, and all of it. [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but how do you stop that, I guess? [SPEAKER_02]: Um, [SPEAKER_02]: you and my real.

[SPEAKER_02]: We got a whole people accountable. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, like you're, I went like, Dan, what's your real opinion on this? [SPEAKER_02]: Um, like how do you stop a George source? [SPEAKER_00]: With George source, I would have stopped him a long time ago with lead, frankly. [SPEAKER_00]: Um, that's just my personal opinion, but. [SPEAKER_00]: I want to we got to go back a little bit because I have to answer this question over the course of a several statements.

[SPEAKER_00]: So first, the answer to your question, what can Congress do specifically in Mark Touch on it a bit is the only way judges can be activists and legislate from the bench is because Congress refuses to do its fucking job period. [SPEAKER_00]: Amen. [SPEAKER_01]: Article three, you serve on good behavior. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they serve on well, it's two parts. [SPEAKER_00]: One is Article three, which is very clear if you are outside of the, and it's left vague for a reason.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that the Congress can look at the judiciary and say, you guys are doing stupid bullshit outside of your purview. [SPEAKER_00]: We consider that to be bad behavior. [SPEAKER_00]: You're gone, you're gone, you're gone. [SPEAKER_00]: The second part is Congress refuses to do any actual legislation.

[SPEAKER_00]: their budget string from Article 1 and they consider that to be the only serious part of their job, frankly, because that's what allows them to withdraw money from taxpayers and put it into the pockets of their friends. [SPEAKER_00]: That's it.

[SPEAKER_00]: However, [SPEAKER_00]: It is the same reason that the executive branch has grown so powerful in this country because Congress routinely abdicates its authority under Article 1. [SPEAKER_00]: Congress will pass bullshit bills like the War Powers Act, for example, which is outside their purview in the first place, but allows them to fain interest in the affairs and responsibilities and numerated to them by Article 1 of the Constitution without actually fucking doing anything, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: They don't want to have any kind of hard stand on their record, ever. [SPEAKER_00]: the ever right they are car their use car salesmen that's who these people are two things solved problems don't get out the vote that's why abortion and health care two of the like biggest issues of our the our three lifetimes 40 years of this bullshit back and forth 40 years of a conversation that should have taken 10 minutes frankly right and [SPEAKER_00]: still goes on.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's still going on today regardless of what's happened. [SPEAKER_00]: They have been persistent issues for decades in this country for no reason other than Congress or a bunch of cowards. [SPEAKER_00]: And two, again, they don't want to take hard stands on anything. [SPEAKER_00]: They want to be able to run on next, what they're going to do next time. [SPEAKER_00]: Now, this is in direct contrast with what the 27th Amendment of the Constitution requires of us, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: So the 27th of them, a lot of people don't [SPEAKER_00]: proposed in 1798, at the same time as the original Bill of Rights. [SPEAKER_00]: And what it says is, Congress can't give itself a raise without an intermediary election. [SPEAKER_00]: You have to say, we want to raise, go get it reelected by the people, and then you can give yourself a raise. [SPEAKER_00]: That's how it works. [SPEAKER_00]: That's how it should work for everything.

[SPEAKER_00]: For all these bills that they pass and ask such, they refuse to take hard stands on anything, because here's every political campaign season [SPEAKER_00]: It's, well, when I get back to DC, I'm going to do this and do this and do this. [SPEAKER_00]: Motherfucker, you've been a DC for 30 years. [SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_01]: What are you talking about? [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: What are you talking about? [SPEAKER_00]: Right?

[SPEAKER_00]: So until, until people know all of this, know how the structure of the constitution works, know what your role as a citizen is and start holding these people accountable instead of listening to a demagoguery and dumbass, ideologue, [SPEAKER_00]: Right? [SPEAKER_00]: This is the product that we will get.

[SPEAKER_00]: Congress will continue not doing its job and you do judiciary in the executive branch will step in and do their job for them and we will get a more authoritarian government and a more activist government, which is not at all what the founders intended the end.

[SPEAKER_02]: And then Mark, for you, I just had a curiosity when you won your primary, do people start coming out of the woodwork and want to donate money or have conversations with you about, you know, legislation or lobbyists and things like that. [SPEAKER_02]: I'm always curious, you know, a couple of our friends got in in Texas. [SPEAKER_02]: They won their primaries as well that were on the show and it.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, heavily red district, so it appears as if they're going to be your partners in crime, they're marked to Sharon and Brandon Herrera and the fall from the state of Texas. [SPEAKER_02]: So you'll probably, you know, get to know them very well. [SPEAKER_02]: But for you, how does that work with the money coming in and then who to take it from and why and and all that other stuff? [SPEAKER_02]: Because it's fascinating.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you went from sheriff to Holy [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think it's a digression of my career path. [SPEAKER_01]: Sheriff is a much better position than Congress. [SPEAKER_01]: So I don't think I look think of it that way. [SPEAKER_01]: I actually think I'm debating myself to go run for Congress. [SPEAKER_01]: They have a 9% approval rating. [SPEAKER_01]: A sheriff is a much more important role in Americans' lives than the actual Congresses.

[SPEAKER_01]: And Dan's spot on on everything. [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you. [SPEAKER_01]: I usually talk about those exact same things. [SPEAKER_01]: We have real problems there. [SPEAKER_01]: I haven't won my primary yet. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm getting bombarded by a so-called Republican who is just beaten him and the media are doing everything they can to try to decide for the people of Arizona who's going to serve them in DC. [SPEAKER_01]: And so I still got to go through a primary.

[SPEAKER_01]: I've met Mark to share with great guy. [SPEAKER_01]: I've spent some time around him. [SPEAKER_01]: Brandon and I have been around in the same circles a lot of times, but I don't think we've officially really got a chance to sit down yet. [SPEAKER_01]: But either way, I would be honored to serve with those guys. [SPEAKER_01]: We got a lot of work to do, Dan, and that mentioned it. [SPEAKER_01]: It's broken. [SPEAKER_01]: The system is broken.

[SPEAKER_01]: Congress has become factless. [SPEAKER_01]: They're too concerned about winning elections. [SPEAKER_01]: And they're too concerned about their donors. [SPEAKER_01]: And so you brought up a very good point. [SPEAKER_01]: I think a lot of, you know, the attacks I'm getting is because I'm willing to stand on my own to feet. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want money from a lot of these organizations that have pump money into politicians.

[SPEAKER_01]: I work hard to get donations from regular Americans. [SPEAKER_01]: If you look at me, the majority of my donations come from all over the country and they're small-dollar donations, [SPEAKER_01]: because people believe in a candidate. [SPEAKER_01]: They want more cowboy hats and bought buckles and washing in DC, but they want somebody that's authentic. [SPEAKER_01]: That's different from what we've had.

[SPEAKER_01]: And if we continue to go after what we get we've had, we can't bitch about the results, man. [SPEAKER_01]: We should be, we should know exactly what we're going to get it. [SPEAKER_01]: It's what we've already got. [SPEAKER_01]: So, I think a lot of, you know, I think sometimes the attacks I get are from people that maybe are mad that I didn't take their money.

[SPEAKER_02]: uh... forgive me uh... there's no you haven't been to the primaries june twelve i thought california was the last one to have the primary this late no no there's something that are actually at august and september we're here we're supposed to be honest they moved ours up to july twenty first ask to got another six weeks of

[SPEAKER_01]: of all this bull crap I've been dealing with where they attacked me, my family, my wife, they attacked my, you know, we bought a ranch in Tennessee to help my kids and my grandkids and now I'm having to constantly tell people they've been booing. [SPEAKER_01]: bamboo's living, the thinking I don't live here anymore. [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's just sheer ridiculousness and my prime is all I want to do is fight for my country and fight for freedom.

[SPEAKER_01]: And this is why good people don't run for office. [SPEAKER_01]: They've made this process so unpalatable and the rest of those folks in DC have made this just a useless job anymore. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm doing the best I can to change it. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not one of those politicians like [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I'm going to fix this and fix that. [SPEAKER_01]: Here's what you can expect from me.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to stand up for the American people and I'm going to fight for God, family, freedom, and the Constitution. [SPEAKER_01]: And if I, you know, like the Founding Father said in the last line of the Declaration of Independence, which I think is the most powerful right before they sign their name on this document that they were going to send to the most powerful nation in the world.

[SPEAKER_01]: And they, it was a certain death warrant if they failed, they set under the protection of divine providence. [SPEAKER_01]: We mutually pledged to each other. [SPEAKER_01]: Our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. [SPEAKER_01]: You know, look, life used to be something that was kind of, oh, yeah, I would give my life for you. [SPEAKER_01]: We've seen now a Charlie Kirk, the attempts on President Trump and other people that there are life, you might lose your life.

[SPEAKER_01]: fortunes. [SPEAKER_01]: This is not going to be good for me economically. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going there to make money to get rich. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm losing money going there. [SPEAKER_01]: And then your sacred honor, you see what they say about you and your family, a lifetime of building a reputation of honor only to be torn down in the media one time after another. [SPEAKER_01]: This is exactly why our countries in the state that it's in.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I'm going to go back to this July primary thing. [SPEAKER_02]: Sorry about this. [SPEAKER_02]: I, you're asking voters then to go out and vote four months apart. [SPEAKER_02]: That doesn't make a lot of sense, and it's also difficult. [SPEAKER_02]: People don't realize to get people to come out through a primary is a lot of work, because it's, it's on an off day, most people aren't thinking about elections. [SPEAKER_02]: This is the latest one I've ever heard.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I mean, yeah, you really are asking people to come in and vote. [SPEAKER_02]: Within three and a half months of each other and say, Hey, come for the primary. [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, and then also come for the November election as well. [SPEAKER_02]: That's not great. [SPEAKER_02]: It's not even. [SPEAKER_01]: It's not even three and a half months. [SPEAKER_01]: It's July 21 and then your ballots come out in October.

[SPEAKER_01]: So you're basically like two and a half months before ballots start hitting people's mailboxes and then early November is the election. [SPEAKER_01]: So you're really like. [SPEAKER_01]: two and a half to maybe three months of turnaround time. [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, it's a lot to ask the citizen. [SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's not really, but but we, I want to say you guys mentioned it earlier. [SPEAKER_01]: One of the problems in this country is good Americans are not voting.

[SPEAKER_01]: The people who want to be left alone who just want to own guns and have freedom.

[SPEAKER_01]: They're angry with both sides and they should be and they've decided I'm not my vote doesn't mean anything where they're gonna fraud it and then they don't show up and vote and that's what that that's what the socialists and the leftist depend on to steal this country from us and to take away our freedoms we need everybody show up and vote I get it you may not like the candidate you got but not voting you're gonna end up with where we're at and this is and we're not in a good place and we're not heading in a good direction

[SPEAKER_02]: No, I agree, but, you know, I'll ask the question, do you think 2020 was stolen? [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely, you know, one of the things that I've been not that is saying that I don't think there was fraud. [SPEAKER_01]: That comes from a congressional hearing where I was asked if I had evidence of large-scale material fraud. [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not going to sit and lie in Congress and go, oh yeah, I've got it. [SPEAKER_01]: What's the next question they're going to ask me?

[SPEAKER_01]: How do you know? [SPEAKER_01]: The next question I'm going to ask you is, well, where is it? [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: And why didn't you charge somebody for it?

[SPEAKER_01]: So, in my county, I'm responsible for Penn Out County, not America, but County, not Pima County, Penn Out County, and while we had some issues that we dealt with, we did not have evidence of large-scale material fraud. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't live in the world of field links, and you could just say whatever you want.

[SPEAKER_01]: I lived in the world of what you could prove, whatever it is said. [SPEAKER_01]: And so I lived in a very different world, but I'm the first to tell you, I was one of the most vocal sheriffs nationwide. [SPEAKER_01]: I had a group called Protect America Now, where we were, I worked with true the vote. [SPEAKER_01]: I spent, we put cameras on every one of our ballot boxes after in the 22 election.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm probably one of the sheriffs who was fought most for election integrity, only to be accused of later on saying, there's no fraud, that's ridiculous. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, nonsense, it's just, this whole game is stupid to be honest. [SPEAKER_00]: It is, but just solve the my shoes. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: I put your stuff in my shoes. [SPEAKER_02]: Watching this California thing unfolds over the last couple weeks. [SPEAKER_02]: It's just sad.

[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you feel sad and hopeless that you can't do anything. [SPEAKER_02]: And then, you know, you see the videos come in or the homeless people get in paid. [SPEAKER_02]: to write in, you know, candidates on ballots and everything else, why we can't pass the save America act, like, I don't understand that either. [SPEAKER_02]: All of this seems easily correctable and very fixable, but we're not doing it. [SPEAKER_02]: You know, the Congress has done this job.

[SPEAKER_02]: Senate still got to do their job and pass the save act. [SPEAKER_02]: Also, you've got a count faster, man. [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, shit, Arizona's coming in typically three or four weeks late on most of these elections, California and Nevada, what is it about the state of Arizona? [SPEAKER_02]: They just can't figure it out. [SPEAKER_02]: I've heard the excuses out of California. [SPEAKER_02]: That the state's too big, we've got to fly in ballots and helicopters and everything else.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's not bigger than, then, uh, uh, [SPEAKER_01]: I'll tell you the problems with Arizona. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: First of all, first of all, stop with the email out ballots. [SPEAKER_01]: If you can't get off your get out of your house and maybe only mail out ballots for people who cannot actually physically make it.

[SPEAKER_01]: But there should be no reason why somebody can't show up to an election day or if you can't go to the Recorder's office a week or two before that. [SPEAKER_01]: So here's the problem in Arizona. [SPEAKER_01]: Early ballads go out up 27 days before. [SPEAKER_01]: Up until they have allowed ballots to show up. [SPEAKER_01]: Not just you can drop off your ballot, which is considered a provisional ballot at that point.

[SPEAKER_01]: So then you have to actually go through all of which we usually have 3,400,000 provisional ballots you have to verify signatures on. [SPEAKER_01]: Then they allow these ballots to show [SPEAKER_01]: the day of the election and after a day to have mailed your ballot. [SPEAKER_01]: So how you're going to get a count when you're allowing all this nonsense to keep going long after. [SPEAKER_01]: So you're counting provisional ballots.

[SPEAKER_01]: You're waiting for ballots to show up in the mail. [SPEAKER_01]: Of course it takes another week to 10 days. [SPEAKER_01]: So how you fix it is like Florida Florida does not. [SPEAKER_01]: If your ballot is not sent out a week before or turned in a week before the election, your vote doesn't count. [SPEAKER_01]: And if you, or you've got to show up in person and vote, because now it should be.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I think if you were to go to that model where if you don't get it in, if it's not in the Recorder's office, the day of the election, it doesn't count. [SPEAKER_01]: That's why Florida can deliver a result the night of the election. [SPEAKER_01]: Arizona's jacked up. [SPEAKER_01]: But here's problem. [SPEAKER_01]: It's Republicans that have passed the laws in Arizona to put it in this.

[SPEAKER_01]: They fell for the Trojan horse of COVID and changed the voting and started sending out mail out ballots. [SPEAKER_01]: And we've put ourselves in this position and we need to get a good governor back in there so that we can actually go back and fix election rules here in Arizona. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I get a, I get a very important question though that the world is dying to know next.

[SPEAKER_02]: Are you going to keep the cowboy hat on every single day like Fetterman wears his gym shorts? [SPEAKER_01]: If you do make it better, you better believe it. [SPEAKER_01]: And you elect a, if Federica, if Federica Wilson, whatever that lady from Florida can wear her goofy cowboy hats with the dazzles and all that, you better believe on where Pernia, [SPEAKER_01]: Look at this is America. [SPEAKER_01]: I think this cowboy hat and is indicative of the West.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's indicative of a type of American who believes in this country, believes in common sense. [SPEAKER_01]: You know values, artwork, determination, and I think I represent a lot of those types of Americans in this country, not just Arizona.

[SPEAKER_02]: And early bald or dude, no wonder you became a sheriff you had a big chip on your shoulder Dude, I did some of you know some of you like that in college and they were just like man fuck I got to do better So yeah, it helps drive you look like a bald head early helps drive you That's one of the first things you would like to do if you actually got in and have you been up to Capitol Hill to see it [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, I've been on God.

[SPEAKER_01]: I have a couple clients that I can solve for. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm there almost. [SPEAKER_01]: I was there every month for a while. [SPEAKER_01]: Been up there a lot recently, so not only for work, but for other legislation. [SPEAKER_01]: Look, one of the first things I we need to do this right now. [SPEAKER_01]: Dan mentioned we're working off executive orders in this country because Congress has failed to do their job.

[SPEAKER_01]: So while the border is secure and more secure than it's ever been, very different from what we saw under the Biden administration. [SPEAKER_01]: Night and day, they're still these are just executive orders.

[SPEAKER_01]: And then the day that if they haven't forbidden another Joe Biden or Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom come in, [SPEAKER_01]: they'll just throw gas on it, they'll undo all of those executive orders and do a bunch of new ones and we'll be right back where we were with the border crisis again. [SPEAKER_01]: So I think we've got to have a fix to the border, a security piece, and the immigration piece of that. [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's one of the first things.

[SPEAKER_01]: After that, I'm not a guy looking to pass new laws. [SPEAKER_01]: What we need are people who go there and take laws off the books, take regulations off the book. [SPEAKER_01]: take our boot off the throat of the American people and the American business so that this country can thrive the way our founding fathers intended it. [SPEAKER_01]: That is what we need in Washington DC. [SPEAKER_01]: We need some of that's willing to stand up for the American people.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I would look to actually take away a lot of the regulations and government that exist and get it back into the American people and the states because that's where the founding fathers set it up to power to be. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm ants if you do get in there man because you'll have a dope office. [SPEAKER_02]: You get to decorate it how you want with all the fun stuff from Arizona. [SPEAKER_02]: Dan and I've been up there. [SPEAKER_02]: It's rad.

[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody's got their own thing. [SPEAKER_02]: I picture like a dead rattlesnake on the wall. [SPEAKER_02]: Some other cool air is on his stuff. [SPEAKER_01]: Some turquoise maybe picture a Walter White. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's sort of like a breaking bad photo or something like that. [SPEAKER_01]: That might maybe my bust of John Wayne here, you know. [SPEAKER_01]: Look at the universe. [SPEAKER_02]: Holy shit. [SPEAKER_02]: That is a beautiful bust.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't say that I don't think John Lane here. [SPEAKER_01]: That's gonna go on the office. [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's great, dude. [SPEAKER_02]: That's great. [SPEAKER_02]: I think he's freaking happy. [SPEAKER_02]: I thought he's wanted a bust to myself. [SPEAKER_02]: That's kind of a child who dream that I'm working on in the background, but the best I've got is a bobblehead right now. [SPEAKER_01]: I got a bobblehead.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but he's Mark's talking about regulation. [SPEAKER_00]: One of the, now Trump so far has been the most deregulatory president in our lifetime. [SPEAKER_00]: And it's not particularly close, actually. [SPEAKER_00]: But there's a lot more to be done. [SPEAKER_00]: The U.S. in the last 20 years has lost 50% of its small to medium-sized meat processing facilities because of the wholesome meat act of 1967. [SPEAKER_00]: Doesn't that sound nice?

[SPEAKER_00]: The wholesome meat act. [SPEAKER_00]: Doesn't that sound great? [SPEAKER_00]: That's some communist bullshit. [SPEAKER_00]: And the H-A-C-C-P, the hazardous analysis, [SPEAKER_00]: in critical control point system. [SPEAKER_00]: Right? [SPEAKER_00]: Those two things require a small to medium-sized business to spend $80,000 for upgrades, like large consolidated processors and stuff like that kind of easily absorb and they just get wiped out. [SPEAKER_00]: This is how DC works.

[SPEAKER_00]: some company like Tyson or Cargill calls a guy that they gave 200 grand to run his campaign and says you know it would be really nice or you know what we've had problems with is that this is they don't ever say the quiet part out loud they never do this you know we've had problems with is [SPEAKER_00]: safety inspections at our plants. [SPEAKER_00]: We want to be really safe.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know what we found is if we spend a hundred thousand dollars a year on safety inspections, we'll do fine. [SPEAKER_00]: And then that small to medium sized business can't do it anymore. [SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_00]: So, it's all Tyson represents 80% of the chicken in this country as a result of these two fucking things. [SPEAKER_00]: Which is just those two. [SPEAKER_00]: Just those two.

[SPEAKER_01]: Not. [SPEAKER_01]: He's exactly right, and then you take the EPA under Joe Biden, the EPA increased by 52,000 new pages of regulations to the cost of anywhere between 800 billion and one trillion dollars to the American people and American businesses for regulations directed towards the EPA a lot of that, you know, [SPEAKER_01]: Look at what they've done to housing. [SPEAKER_01]: They've allowed big corporations to come in and consume the inventory.

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, there's a lot of problems. [SPEAKER_01]: And a lot of this is exactly a guess of these people that put in money. [SPEAKER_01]: There's a reason why they give politicians money. [SPEAKER_01]: It's so that later on they can come back and get what they need. [SPEAKER_01]: And that's a problem. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's a huge problem and it's one of a long list of huge problems this country has.

[SPEAKER_02]: As you sit back and kind of look at it, I'm sure obviously you've envisioned yourself winning and you think you are going to win here, do you sit there and start making a list at home of like, all right, I want to start with this, this, this, and this, I mean, it's just seems so daunting right now of all of the fucking problems that are going on in DC. [SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's what they want people to do is they want people to be distracted by everything.

[SPEAKER_01]: Government is notorious for making you creating the enemy for you. [SPEAKER_01]: You know, there's an old African proverb that says, the sheep will spend its entire life fearing the wolf only to be by the shepherd. [SPEAKER_01]: And that is the truth here in this country, our government will make us fear everybody, only to be eaten by the shepherd eventually.

[SPEAKER_01]: And so what we've got to do is take the power away from the government and give it back to the American people. [SPEAKER_01]: The founding fathers knew very well what the solution was. [SPEAKER_01]: They said we, the peoples, first three words of the Constitution, they understood that.

[SPEAKER_01]: So what you've got to do is you've got to get back and you've got to start [SPEAKER_01]: Stop with the division in this country for race, religion, politics, social ideology, all of those things are designed to make us unstable and it gives Congress the ability to do what they're doing. [SPEAKER_01]: Alexis de Tocqueville, who was a Frenchman, don't hold that against him, but he came here in the early 1800s to write a book about the Constitution and the American penal system.

[SPEAKER_01]: And so he writes democracy in America, and in there he put that the American Republic will endure and tell the day Congress realizes it can bribe the public with the public's money. [SPEAKER_01]: And that was what's happened. [SPEAKER_01]: They gave us a little money here and there and they bribe us a little bit. [SPEAKER_01]: And ultimately what they really do and is overregulating us, taking away our freedoms.

[SPEAKER_01]: So the answer to the chaos that is washing in DC is to simplify it. [SPEAKER_01]: And you simplify it by saying, I'm going to do what's right in God's eyes, and I'm going to do what's right by the Constitution. [SPEAKER_01]: And I think that is the easiest way to traverse such a very, such a, [SPEAKER_00]: Such a minefield that is Washington, D.C. [SPEAKER_00]: The Toville also gave a solution for this problem, not from the D.C. perspective, but from the citizenry perspective.

[SPEAKER_00]: One of his first observations about the United States when he was writing this book, the Mark references, is that, and I've mentioned this before,

[SPEAKER_00]: The reason that federalism and republicanism took hold so easily here in the United States and the reason we were able so easily to throw not just throw off the British government but immediately transition into a working government of our own is because we had gotten used to small associate, small private associations that is how that's how republicanism must work [SPEAKER_00]: It cannot work from the top down. [SPEAKER_00]: That's the work from the bottom up.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that requires you as a citizen of the country to do your part, right? [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, that's part of it. [SPEAKER_00]: So DC's job is to deregulate at this point in 2026. [SPEAKER_00]: If you're heading to DC, your job is to roll back as much regulation as you possibly can. [SPEAKER_00]: And your job as a citizen is to work with other citizens as much as you possibly can.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: And for you, you know, when you're up there, the doors are open for some, not for others. [SPEAKER_02]: Do you plan on having anybody from Arizona come in and ask you questions and all that other stuff? [SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, look, I was very open enough fronters to share if I'm going to want to I'm probably, I don't probably, we had the biggest social media followings on YouTube, we showed everything that we were doing. [SPEAKER_01]: My door was always open.

[SPEAKER_01]: I responded to all the letters in the phone calls, and so as long as it hits my desk and I can, I want to be there for the people. [SPEAKER_01]: I truly understand what means to take on the responsibility as a representative of the people. [SPEAKER_01]: unlike a lot of these politicians who look at it as I've got now a country club access and everybody else began, you know, I don't believe that. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't see it that way.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't see this job as a promotion. [SPEAKER_01]: I see it as demotion going and trying to fix this issues in the federal government because I'm doing it for my family. [SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't be spending time with my family. [SPEAKER_01]: I could be spending time building my own empire.

[SPEAKER_01]: Instead, we've opted to put all that on hold and move in a different direction because our whole family is a path family of patriots who, you know, my family came here on eight of the occupants of the Mayflower and 16 years later on the windthrip fully, the lamb family came. [SPEAKER_01]: I'll be damned if that for 400 years we're gonna lose it at this point on my watch. [SPEAKER_02]: What do your wife and kids think about this because this is a big deal?

[SPEAKER_01]: Look, my wife is getting trash by my opponents as well and it's disgusting. [SPEAKER_01]: You can say what you want about me but family should be completely off limits from this and so my wife is a tough woman and she's a patriot as well. [SPEAKER_01]: I think we're [SPEAKER_01]: we're really remember why we're doing this. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think that the average person understands the sacrifice that is, you know, it takes. [SPEAKER_01]: They see the opposite side.

[SPEAKER_01]: They see the side of the Ilham Omar's who go from $30,000 to $30 million in a matter of a few years. [SPEAKER_01]: And they see the they see the corrupted side of it. [SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of us out there who have [SPEAKER_01]: This is a major, major sacrifice for some people, and our family is one of them. [SPEAKER_01]: But we all love this country and my kids understand the importance of it.

[SPEAKER_01]: And fortunately, I have my wife because you know, you would have to question whether this is worth it at some point. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because I've got three kids and I wonder if you go to sporting events or out in public if people are harassing you or are they mostly supportive in real life. [SPEAKER_02]: I've always been curious of that. [SPEAKER_01]: Nobody harasses me in public.

[SPEAKER_01]: up until recently, you know, the media is trying to do everything they can to tear away at me and my family and my honor and my morality and all these things. [SPEAKER_01]: And the reality is is that we have been by their fruity show know them, like we have been in public and so. [SPEAKER_01]: People are really supportive in Arizona of our law enforcement and they've been really supportive of a lot of the things we've done. [SPEAKER_01]: We've done live PD 60 days in YouTube.

[SPEAKER_01]: We do all of these things and so people look at us and say, I mean, when we when we see them in public, they're like, Sheriff, thank you so much for doing what you're doing. [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for being a great American. [SPEAKER_01]: Thanks for being a patriot. [SPEAKER_01]: That's what I get.

[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I'm sure there's people that think that, [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, because I'm curious, like, you know, mom groups, text messages, sports, all that other stuff, just being a father of three myself, you know, politics do come into the fray occasionally with other moms and things like that where it's like, oh, hey, don't you know who has been his. [SPEAKER_02]: They're married too, you know, but they'll never really say it to your face, so I was always curious about that.

[SPEAKER_01]: The other thing since I had one lady, I had one lady try to challenge me back in COVID because I wasn't, I didn't do the lockdowns. [SPEAKER_01]: We didn't do the mass mandates. [SPEAKER_01]: So like, I mean, I'm in the post office one day with my wife and a couple other people in there and she's wearing a mask. [SPEAKER_01]: And she's looking at me. [SPEAKER_01]: Just keep staring at me. [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm across the room. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just buying him a business.

[SPEAKER_01]: And finally, she looks at me and she says, you're that no mask wearing sheriff aren't you. [SPEAKER_01]: I said, well, I'm the sheriff who chooses not to wear a mask if that's what you're asking. [SPEAKER_01]: And she says, well, I just want, I want to let you know, I think that it's my husband. [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's so disrespectful that you don't wear a mask and public. [SPEAKER_01]: And I said, you know what?

[SPEAKER_01]: I find disrespectful, the fact that you think that you can challenge me like this in public. [SPEAKER_01]: I said, who do you think you are? [SPEAKER_01]: Well, it makes you morally superior to me. [SPEAKER_01]: Why on earth would you think it's appropriate to come and challenge me for not wearing a mask? [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't challenge you for wearing a mask. [SPEAKER_01]: I said, you want to talk about disrespectful man. [SPEAKER_01]: That's disrespectful.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's all. [SPEAKER_01]: She looked at me and she goes, you know what, you're right. [SPEAKER_01]: I said, man, nobody likes what we're going through, but challenging each other is not only inappropriate, it's borderline illegal. [SPEAKER_01]: And so you need to be just let people live their life. [SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't even close to you. [SPEAKER_01]: Don't bother people. [SPEAKER_01]: She says, well, can I send you some stuff?

[SPEAKER_01]: I said, yes, as long as you don't mind if I send you some stuff back. [SPEAKER_01]: She said, well, she walked down. [SPEAKER_01]: She said, Sheriff, thank you for respectfully putting me in my place. [SPEAKER_01]: But that was probably the only times I've really been challenged in public. [SPEAKER_01]: But what's she sent you? [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I know. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I've never been challenged in public either. [SPEAKER_02]: No, I don't think that I have either, man.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's weird. [SPEAKER_02]: Like people see on TV or a podcast or whatever it is, right? [SPEAKER_02]: And they'll talk shit online, but then in real life, no. [SPEAKER_02]: It usually goes the other way. [SPEAKER_02]: You're so recognizable and since you brought it up, live, live, PD. [SPEAKER_02]: Holy shit, dude.

[SPEAKER_02]: First of all, it is, I don't want to say guilty pleasure because I love it, like it's, it's just something that I watch it and I want to do drugs and watch more. [SPEAKER_02]: Like I want to get my, and watch more. [SPEAKER_02]: I want to see the people that you guys are resting as I'm high in my own couch and I'm like, oh my God, this is amazing. [SPEAKER_02]: But I'm sure you guys get that all the time.

[SPEAKER_02]: That was one of those shows that just unexpectedly blue up out of nowhere and everybody was watching it's all [SPEAKER_02]: And I felt like he was just like, oh shit, were you watch, oh, you're watching? [SPEAKER_02]: And you go to somebody else's house and it's all in the background. [SPEAKER_02]: You're like, got damn, dude, you watching this. [SPEAKER_02]: How real is it? [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's real.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I wasn't surprised it was successful because cops was successful for two decades, you know, I were long. [SPEAKER_01]: And so when they put live PDF on there, it's a guilty pleasure for a lot of us. [SPEAKER_01]: Like I'm Bill, I've built a very successful YouTube channel. [SPEAKER_01]: at Real American Sheriff. [SPEAKER_01]: So please go check it out, subscribe.

[SPEAKER_01]: But my YouTube videos are basically me breaking down body cam videos, much like what you would see on live PD. [SPEAKER_01]: People are fascinated it. [SPEAKER_01]: They're fascinated by human behavior, how people act in public. [SPEAKER_01]: They're fascinated by health police deal with it. [SPEAKER_01]: They're fascinated by seeing people get bit by dog or taste or any of the cool stuff that happens in this profession. [SPEAKER_01]: So they're very fascinated by it.

[SPEAKER_01]: And so it's [SPEAKER_01]: Um, I actually, when we did 60 days in, is then they put it out on Netflix while we were, uh, everybody was quarantined during 2020, and not in Penao County, but everybody else, they were quarantined. [SPEAKER_01]: And so people started recognizing me more for, for 60 days in after that. [SPEAKER_01]: And now, frankly, people recognize me for the YouTube stuff or Fridays with Frank, [SPEAKER_01]: which is one of our guys from our agencies.

[SPEAKER_01]: So he's probably the most well-known cop in the country. [SPEAKER_01]: I used to be Sheriff Lamb down just French boss, but those things. [SPEAKER_01]: But it's a powerful tool for actually going out and showing the real work that's being done on the streets of America by the many women who are brave enough to put on the badge. [SPEAKER_01]: And I think that most people respect it and even if you don't, most people are are enthralled by it. [SPEAKER_01]: It's like a car crash.

[SPEAKER_00]: Speaking of that, I think if you're looking for car crash, not looking away, things maybe your next trip should be to do naked in a frayed. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: He'll like with you. [SPEAKER_00]: Arizona survival skills, you'd be able to handle it pretty well. [SPEAKER_00]: Just use a snake as an inter tube or as a water device. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: I think Baragreels used to pee in his. [SPEAKER_00]: Sure did.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then that would go down in the fridge. [SPEAKER_02]: We had a body that was on naked in the frayed, he won. [SPEAKER_02]: They won the show, by the way. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but he's a dirt rag marine scout sniper. [SPEAKER_00]: He sure is. [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, to be honest, that was like a weekend for us. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: And he's, you know, he's got a kid from a stranger and all kinds of stuff. [SPEAKER_02]: But he still won.

[SPEAKER_00]: I already said that he was a marine. [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, good, good. [SPEAKER_02]: Something's worth clear here. [SPEAKER_01]: I know Amber Hargrove is bent on.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't count this Naked in the fridge so I think I don't know how many five to ten of them I think she's bent on So she's that woman is tough as nails to keep going out and doing it [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, it's brutal, man, when Justin came back and he was bitten up a few nameths got some form of what a bull are something that's straight off in her. [SPEAKER_00]: Not a bull, uh, what was it? [SPEAKER_02]: I had a carry him out of there. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because he was all fucked up for sure. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think as a Marine, I wouldn't be expected his body to kill anything that tried to come in. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: He came back with like monkeypox. [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he had some wild shit. [SPEAKER_02]: That was a carry. [SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, no. [SPEAKER_02]: He's not monkeypox. [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's transmitted the one way.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's he's still that type of guy. [SPEAKER_02]: But, but what I love about it and when I think is great for kids who are watching it out there is

[SPEAKER_02]: it really shows you an up close and personal look at what not to do and what will happen to you afterwards because it is swift and I'll go back to I know I mentioned that Carmelo Anthony case earlier the judge said something interesting right right before I'm sorry right after the verdicts where you know it was guilty and it's murder and you know you're you're going to face [SPEAKER_02]: Do you mind if we have a minute so I can take my client outside and kind of compose himself?

[SPEAKER_02]: And the judge goes, no, let your life moves differently now. [SPEAKER_02]: And that was his exact quote. [SPEAKER_02]: And I said, right. [SPEAKER_02]: And it's the first time I've heard a judge say that. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I mean, look if homeboys parents had said that to him at any point during his life, he wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.

[SPEAKER_02]: right, or if you're watching a show like one of the ones that you're on, it's super, I think it's a deterrent, or it's just like, you watch it, you're like, oh, bad, that's something I never want to go through. [SPEAKER_02]: So I also think it's a good learning tool. [SPEAKER_02]: I really do, and I know like live PD for example was off air for a while, and there were some controversy around that, and then I think it's coming back in some former fashion, is that true?

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's been back on probably now for a couple of years on Reels, Reels, the channel called Reels. [SPEAKER_01]: And so I think it's back to being one of the more popular shows on cable TV. [SPEAKER_01]: As long as live PD was out there, it was number one. [SPEAKER_01]: I co-hosted a show for 20 episodes called Live PD wanted. [SPEAKER_01]: It was a break off show.

[SPEAKER_01]: We were typically [SPEAKER_01]: in the top 10, and most of the time we were in the top 5, it was kind of like cops, live PD meets America's most wanted. [SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of how the show was put together. [SPEAKER_01]: We didn't 20 episodes, and then obviously that came to an end during COVID when a live PD went off the air.

[SPEAKER_01]: So [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I remember that and the thing I like more about live PD versus cops was cops was pre-recorded and then they kind of edited it later and put out their best version of it where live PD was just flipping from scene to scene to scene and you were like, okay cool, the action was non-stop. [SPEAKER_02]: What was the craziest stop you've ever had personally? [SPEAKER_01]: Man, I don't know, you encounter a lot of crazy stops.

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we've been into a lot of pursuits with people bailing out of cars, where you're getting car rolls and people flying out of it, you got 12 bodies and a little sedan. [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you see some crazy stuff. [SPEAKER_01]: You see drugs where you pull a car over for drugs and in the back, it's like, trays of food. [SPEAKER_01]: And you scrape the food back, you know, foods only is deep, you scrape the food back. [SPEAKER_01]: And it's all fentanyl pills underneath it.

[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you see some crazy people pleasuring one another on the road. [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you see people switching spots while you're driving when you go to pull them over. [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the traffic stops is probably one of the funer parts of policing. [SPEAKER_01]: It's probably one of the more dangerous parts, but it's also a, it's a bag of who knows what. [SPEAKER_01]: And you don't know until you get up there on the car, what's going to happen?

[SPEAKER_01]: And people, [SPEAKER_01]: are very unpredictable and probably even more so nowadays are very unpredictable and it makes for some wild stories, man. [SPEAKER_00]: Some of it is just silly, though. [SPEAKER_00]: I always think about this. [SPEAKER_00]: that police must, at least sometimes feel like the parents of children dealing with this shit. [SPEAKER_00]: You ever like, you've got two boys.

[SPEAKER_00]: We've got a six-year-old and a near four-year-old and their upstairs scheme in and making noise. [SPEAKER_00]: And it always makes me remember when I was that age, and I'm like, I was never getting away with anything. [SPEAKER_00]: at no point did my parents not know that I was doing some fuckery upstairs. [SPEAKER_00]: Sure, they just let it happen. [SPEAKER_00]: They just let it happen and they came and cleaned up the blood afterwards.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's what really how it went down and like that's some of the goofy shit that you see on live PD and cops and stuff back in the day. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like it's it's almost like Reno 911. [SPEAKER_02]: where the boy's like, oh, I got murdered. [SPEAKER_00]: He's like, no, you're alive. [SPEAKER_00]: You're sitting right there. [SPEAKER_00]: You're talking about it. [SPEAKER_00]: It's just like, I don't know, man.

[SPEAKER_00]: When I watch that stuff, it's like, man, how are people? [SPEAKER_00]: How did somebody that dumb manage to get out of the house? [SPEAKER_00]: And on the first place, how did they find the door knob and then discover how it works if you're that dumb to let yourself out of the house that day? [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I've often said if you watch live PD or if you watch God, how do you can videos?

[SPEAKER_01]: It's proof that God exists because some of these people have no business time, their shoes let alone be getting out and getting a job or driving around. [SPEAKER_01]: It shows you that God looks out for even the dumbest of people and it is proof that there is a God because some of these [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how they've made it to this point in their lives and there's a lot of those people that are now parenting other people and so this is progressively not getting better.

[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's not getting better and the beauty, what you do on YouTube when you're examining these body [SPEAKER_02]: videos, a reaction videos to it, it's nice to hear a shared perspective on what actually happened during that moment, because right now you've got what the media will put out in a certain case and then what's actually on a body cam.

[SPEAKER_02]: has there been one in particular that is frustrated you so much where you watch the body cam footage and you're like how the fuck did this cop get arrested for this? [SPEAKER_02]: We actually had the head of the Austin PD union on the show where I don't know if you covered this on your YouTube channel but body cam footage they called guy was mentally insane walking through the whole ways of apartment complex trying to stab people.

[SPEAKER_02]: Elevator doors open, he lunges at the officer with a knife, officer shoots him, kills him, and the officer gets two years in prison. [SPEAKER_02]: Now, obviously, the Austin PD was pissed off about it, and their union was pissed off about it, and this guy serving two years in prison, Annie's going to lose his job, his pension, and everything else.

[SPEAKER_02]: Like, is there a case that stands out the most on all the footage you've reviewed against a police officer where you're like, how the fuck did they, the jury find this guy guilty? [SPEAKER_01]: I do not recently where these guys, because I'll be honest with you. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't do a lot of those videos where people get shot of those because then YouTube will [SPEAKER_01]: block you on it, you know.

[SPEAKER_01]: So it's not some of the juices and work the squeeze, you know, and so I don't do a lot of those video. [SPEAKER_01]: One of the things that frustrates me, we did one recently, to finish my story. [SPEAKER_01]: We did one recently where it was good, man.

[SPEAKER_01]: The cops did everything right and at the end of the video, they're like, hey, these guys had to go through a bunch of [SPEAKER_01]: they got, the county attorney was looking at charge, you know, and all this stuff one like, this is why nobody wants to do this job. [SPEAKER_01]: You're doing your job and all the sudden you're going to now be held accountable because of the use of force you use or because you had to shoot something that would have killed you or hurt somebody else.

[SPEAKER_01]: That has been ridiculous, but. [SPEAKER_01]: What probably makes shock, not shock, what bothers me the most is the cop, when the cops have to give 50 commands, we did one video or this guy told the lady to get out of the car and we counted them, you think he did over 30, 32 or 33 commands get out of the car and then he says, I'm going to tell you one more time to get out of the car and then he gave her another 30 something commands.

[SPEAKER_01]: And so it's frustrating to me that cops don't feel like they can use the force needed to take care of the situation. [SPEAKER_01]: That you continually like, get out of the car, get out of the car, get out of the car. [SPEAKER_01]: That stuff, it's hard to watch for me as a cop. [SPEAKER_01]: In an out county, we gave our guys the ability to work. [SPEAKER_01]: We said, look, give them a command, you can ask, tell and make.

[SPEAKER_01]: You ask them to do it, then you tell them to do it, and then you make them do it. [SPEAKER_01]: And really, the longer cops prolong putting somebody and cuffs, they're only in boldening them, making them feel more and more like their and control the situation and not the police. [SPEAKER_01]: And ultimately, the level of force you have to use is greater than what you would have had to have used if you'd have just taken control of the situation in the beginning.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not trying to be critical of the police because if you're not there, you just don't know. [SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's easy to armchair quarterback. [SPEAKER_01]: But I would say industry-wide are these administrators because of things like what happened in Austin. [SPEAKER_01]: They have cops working scared and working thinking, I might get arrested or I might get lose my job for this. [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to try to not use force.

[SPEAKER_01]: And in the end, I think it creates bigger problems. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, sure does. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there's a reason that the force or the escalation of force continuum exists and has been the doctrine for 60 years and law enforcement. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know. [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there's been so many books written about this from Gavin DeBecker to Bernie Carrick in New York.

[SPEAKER_00]: So many people have written about this subject over the years. [SPEAKER_00]: Um, and it's very obvious what happens. [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, even so I've never been a cop, but I've been in plenty of gunfights, and If you're running around in an enforcement situation and you are tentative about your behavior, you are going to get yourself or somebody else hurt first, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: And the second thing is you're inviting challenge [SPEAKER_00]: If you're not, if you're in a position of authority and you are not authoritative, people naturally will try to challenge you and you just can't have. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: It's not the way it was to work, right? [SPEAKER_00]: You be, I mean, it's follow the rules from roadhouse. [SPEAKER_00]: Be nice until it's time not be nice. [SPEAKER_00]: That's your job as a police officer, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: That's it. [SPEAKER_02]: That's it, but why don't we keep seeing these videos over and over again and these people not getting out of the car and then usually they've got to shatter the window and they're always filming, they think they're rights and they think that, you know, hey, I pulled you over for speeding.

[SPEAKER_02]: I was watching one of those videos you were referring to earlier, where it was like 30 times until it's got to get out of the car and he cracked the window a little bit and just said, I don't have to get out of the car. [SPEAKER_02]: I don't feel like I did anything wrong. [SPEAKER_02]: The officer said to him, you were speeding. [SPEAKER_02]: And he goes, no, I wasn't, and he goes, I don't have to listen to you.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't have to get out of the car, and then he's filming them. [SPEAKER_02]: And then they usually have to end up breaking the window and ripping the guy out of there. [SPEAKER_02]: And that leads to even more escalation. [SPEAKER_02]: Why are more and more people convinced that they don't have to listen to police commands? [SPEAKER_02]: It's wild to me. [SPEAKER_01]: because they watch videos too.

[SPEAKER_01]: And they watch people run their mouths, and they go on TikTok, maybe they don't show the ones where they actually are held accountable. [SPEAKER_01]: But these people have gotten to where, first of all, they're raised with disrespect for authority. [SPEAKER_01]: Then they watch it all day long on YouTube, and we leave an entitlement society where you can be whatever you want to be, [SPEAKER_01]: change your gender. [SPEAKER_01]: You can do whatever you want.

[SPEAKER_01]: There's no use. [SPEAKER_01]: Life should bow down at your feet is the way that these generations are now being raised. [SPEAKER_01]: I was raised if you said something wrong, you got punched in the mouth and you learned that's not a good thing to say. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to say that next time. [SPEAKER_01]: Or if you did something wrong, your parents held you accountable. [SPEAKER_01]: Now, parents don't hold kids.

[SPEAKER_01]: I posted a video today of the kid running from the cops for five hours on a motorcycle. [SPEAKER_01]: They [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think he might have been scared, you know, and she's making excuses for him. [SPEAKER_01]: He ran through three freaking counties, and the cops were trying to tell him it's all on video and he recorded it. [SPEAKER_01]: Yet, this is the problem with society. [SPEAKER_01]: We have a conflict resolution problem.

[SPEAKER_01]: We got into this place where we stopped letting kids resolve their own conflicts. [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I just talked about where our parents used to just let us draw blood upstairs before they, and they would just come clean up the mess. [SPEAKER_01]: That's how we learned how to resolve conflict. [SPEAKER_01]: Nowadays, society is removed conflict resolution. [SPEAKER_01]: So now, instead of being the best, you can have a job based on your skin color or your sexual preference.

[SPEAKER_01]: Now, instead of being healthy, accountable by the police, we're going to let you lose because you're upgrading. [SPEAKER_01]: These are all sending very mixed messages. [SPEAKER_01]: Um, as far as getting out of the car, Pennsylvania, the men says, you don't have a choice. [SPEAKER_01]: If a cop asks you to have a car, or a case law said, you have to get out of the car. [SPEAKER_01]: And so they're the police are within their rights.

[SPEAKER_01]: Once they've asked them to get out of the car, if they have to remove them, they don't need to give them as many commands. [SPEAKER_01]: The law has already said, these people have to, uh, they have to obey that command. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's really stupid to be honest because if the cop is wrong, just let them go. [SPEAKER_00]: And it's a fucked out of them, man. [SPEAKER_00]: It's on, it is the cops job to know what the law is or isn't.

[SPEAKER_00]: You record stuff, their body cam records it. [SPEAKER_00]: You ask for that and discovery. [SPEAKER_00]: You give it to your good lawyer and figure it out. [SPEAKER_00]: And then maybe you make some money, dude. [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you can put some of your money in that SpaceX IPO. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's Jesus Christman. [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's going through the roof right now. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's the same way, by the way. [SPEAKER_02]: It's on the same.

[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see how it goes, but it's on the same trajectory as Facebook's IPO right now. [SPEAKER_00]: Now, Facebook's IPO went up 20% day one, and then we all remember what happened at August. [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe some people had it. [SPEAKER_02]: I had the IPO, and then I went down, and then obviously it crashed. [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, six months, but then it took off after.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think it'll be fine, but it's going to be fine over the course, but I mean, people that did a bunch of pumping on the front end. [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure that was smart to find out at the end of the day, but Mark back to you in your congressional run here. [SPEAKER_02]: Where are you pulling out then? [SPEAKER_02]: Since your primary is in July, do you look at those? [SPEAKER_02]: Do you pay attention? [SPEAKER_02]: Do you have a team that's working for you?

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we were pulling 60 points ahead in the primary, obviously they've been doing some attacks to try to move those polling numbers where they have a polling field right now, but we're still falling.

[SPEAKER_01]: And really what it is is it's not my favorable to increase obviously the people you're I was at a like a 9% unfavorable You know, that's unfavorable is increased because of the amount of the tax they've mounted against me But it hasn't decreased the favorability and our favorability is well into the 60% on staff.

[SPEAKER_01]: So [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to win this primary, unfortunately, but the work they're doing is to need cat me for the general election and my opponent and the Republican party is playing right into their hands and my and to need cat me for if I were to decide to run for Senate in two years or four years.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's really the goal here is to try to tear it down probably one of the most popular politicians in Arizona They have tried to disparage me to where You don't even want to get on the stage with me, and so it has been a hit job of the first class But the people here are second tired of negative politics We're second tired of the media try to tell us who we who should be serving as an Washington DC and We've we've built a tremendous amount of support with the work that we did as a sheriff

[SPEAKER_01]: And so like we're going to win the primary, we're going to go on and win the general election. [SPEAKER_01]: And you know, sometimes it makes you give you a little bit of an edge in your attitude by the time you get to Washington, the work that needs to be done. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and especially, you know, if you believe the polling and some of these other sites that couchy and things like that, the Republicans could potentially lose the house.

[SPEAKER_02]: TBD on that from from Dan and I will see how the rest of this thing with Iran shakes out because gas prices are obviously a major concern heading into midterms and you know we've got to cease fire every other day and then we get bombs and we get promises promises you know broken all that other stuff but if if the Republicans are able to hold on to the house the Senate and the presidency [SPEAKER_02]: You could absolutely keep pushing things forward.

[SPEAKER_02]: So it is important to go out there and votes on the Democratic side. [SPEAKER_02]: Do you know who your candidate would be? [SPEAKER_02]: And what that number would look like? [SPEAKER_01]: Now, I don't even know, I mean, like this is the guy that's been there, Congressman Biggs has been winning by 20 points, you know, we've pulled as popular as him and in our polling in the past.

[SPEAKER_01]: So we, I think it's between 10 and 20 points is what a Republican should win by in this district. [SPEAKER_01]: The Democrat party doesn't spend a lot of money. [SPEAKER_01]: The media right now is trying to do their dirty work. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and that's why I wrote the word controversial here in the title of this episode.

[SPEAKER_02]: So when you see it pop up on Spotify and iTunes, you'll know, because they keep labeling you as that over and over again to me, I would like to replace the word controversial which is common sense. [SPEAKER_02]: Everything you say is what every day Americans want. [SPEAKER_02]: And I don't understand the controversy of that at all, other than Dem just not wanting you to be in office.

[SPEAKER_02]: Because everything you've said on none of the way this show, but other shows in the past, it all seems like common sense things. [SPEAKER_02]: Why is the media so against that? [SPEAKER_01]: I'm in sense is controversial to them. [SPEAKER_01]: So not only that, you've got Republicans who are not helping the situation out, so there are people getting tired of them too.

[SPEAKER_01]: But the media, like I told you in the beginning, the media is no longer the press that our family fathers not. [SPEAKER_01]: equally reporting. [SPEAKER_01]: They have an agenda with what they're trying to do. [SPEAKER_01]: Here's what they say I'm controversial. [SPEAKER_01]: They call me Christian nationalist because I believe in God in Jesus Christ and I'm on a apologetic about it. [SPEAKER_01]: And I think this country was built on a belief in God in Jesus Christ.

[SPEAKER_01]: I believe in my country. [SPEAKER_01]: So if you want to call me a nationalist, I get, I love my country. [SPEAKER_01]: And I love it better than everybody else's country. [SPEAKER_01]: So yes, I love my country. [SPEAKER_01]: They call me a constitutionalist. [SPEAKER_01]: I swore along with every other politician, I swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I'm a constitutional officer.

[SPEAKER_01]: I believe in the Constitution. [SPEAKER_01]: I think you should not be asking me about it. [SPEAKER_01]: You should be asking the other people why they're not following the Constitution. [SPEAKER_01]: They attacked me for being racist. [SPEAKER_01]: You know, nobody's ever called me a racist. [SPEAKER_01]: Only the media has called me a racist and the southern poverty loss center, which the southern poverty loss center has got their own set of problems right now.

[SPEAKER_01]: They call me, I don't know what else they call, but that's their idea of contribution. [SPEAKER_01]: Really, if you're a true American love family and God and Constitution and freedoms, [SPEAKER_01]: you are controversial today. [SPEAKER_01]: The only difference is I'm running for office. [SPEAKER_01]: So my name's on the news on the headlines. [SPEAKER_01]: If you were running for office, I promise you you'd be controversial. [SPEAKER_01]: Dan will be controversial.

[SPEAKER_01]: All your listeners would be considered controversial if you were running for office. [SPEAKER_01]: The only difference is I've put my name on a ballot. [SPEAKER_01]: And so guess what that gives them. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and look, for me, dude, I've done over 5,000 episodes. [SPEAKER_02]: Jesus Christ, man, there could be a nine-day highlight reel of all the controversial shit I've said. [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, look, we say some fucked up shit on this show.

[SPEAKER_00]: And to be honest, the only time I've ever even considered running for public office is because I think that would be hilarious, right? [SPEAKER_02]: To sit, to see if it was a person. [SPEAKER_02]: Yes. [SPEAKER_00]: Just to sit around and have [SPEAKER_00]: And I used to do this when I worked at Black Rifle 2. [SPEAKER_00]: I would say the crazy shit, just in case we got sued. [SPEAKER_00]: I want to hear what I said, read back to me in a court of law.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, fuck you, I do that. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you're goddamn right. [SPEAKER_00]: I said, yeah, yeah, yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, just the hilarity. [SPEAKER_00]: And because you're seeing Brandon do it now, Brandon's had to do it. [SPEAKER_00]: He does like, oh, he's a naughty. [SPEAKER_00]: He's like, he's been an hour and a half making fun of nauties. [SPEAKER_00]: And you called him a naughty.

[SPEAKER_00]: Did you listen to this show or did you just see the logo in the bottom right corner? [SPEAKER_00]: You don't bitch. [SPEAKER_00]: That would be, um, Brandon, the rest of that coin is aggressive as I am. [SPEAKER_00]: Like, he's a nice guy for the most part. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm an asshole. [SPEAKER_00]: So I would relish that. [SPEAKER_00]: I would just, that would be the whole campaign. [SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't even talk about politics.

[SPEAKER_02]: Now, and for me, Mark, because I've thought about it too, my wife is like, hey, after the kids are grown, you can do whatever you want at that point, because she knows what comes with that. [SPEAKER_02]: I've been up on Capitol Hill numerous times, the travel fucking sucks for you guys back and forth and voting and everything else, obviously.

[SPEAKER_02]: So that's something odd that you'll probably have to get used to, and then potentially keep in a place up there, all that other shit, but for me, [SPEAKER_02]: It's just about wanting to know what the actual answer is, because it's fine for all of us to sit on a podcast and chat about what we think is going on in DC. [SPEAKER_02]: The times that I've been up there in Inside the White House and all other stuff, it's a major eye opener because you actually see how the schedule works.

[SPEAKER_02]: You actually see the segregation of the right in the left. [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm talking it like just lunch. [SPEAKER_02]: Watch. [SPEAKER_02]: Republicans, he will Republicans, Democrats, see with Democrats the staffers when they go to restaurants, you'll know who they are. [SPEAKER_02]: The left is wearing still mask out there at restaurants and things and their staffers and then the right isn'ts and then they go to different restaurants and DC and everything else.

[SPEAKER_02]: I just want to know what that job actually is and why so many people fuck it up for this country. [SPEAKER_02]: Dead series like you've got to be curious of like all right man. [SPEAKER_02]: I'm watching all this shit on TV I'm watching a Jasmine crock it.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm watching a fucking Ilhan Omar What is what is so fucking complex about this job that I'm missing like when you go in there is that part of the curiosity for you [SPEAKER_01]: In many ways, we have become a cacostocracy. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you know what a cacostocracy is, but it's being when you were led by the most unqualified and the least unfit of your society, that is a cacostocracy.

[SPEAKER_01]: Somehow, and really, because this whole process is unpalatable, you guys talk about running, but you're not running until you run, you've put your then you legit can, there's very little you can do about what they say [SPEAKER_01]: about before. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there is gloves that come off and trapped. [SPEAKER_01]: They are the best at finding whatever your weakness is, whatever they think will hurt you, the most they'll find it. [SPEAKER_01]: And they have the same.

[SPEAKER_01]: You want to know what you did wrong in life from for office. [SPEAKER_01]: You'll find out whether you did it or didn't do it, you're going to find out. [SPEAKER_01]: And really what it is is you take protection off of yourself, the second you step in this political arena. [SPEAKER_01]: And your ability to suit people, which I'm filing some lawsuits when this is all said done. [SPEAKER_01]: But your ability to file a lawsuit is substantially reduced and hindered.

[SPEAKER_01]: You become, you are literally at the altar. [SPEAKER_01]: of the public when you decide to run for office. [SPEAKER_01]: So I would highly discourage it unless you really feel a hard for it. [SPEAKER_01]: But also we need good Americans in there. [SPEAKER_01]: So I mean, I'm trying to fight for it. [SPEAKER_01]: I hope we can save this country because we'll say it one way or the other.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm hoping we save it this way through the Constitution and doing it at the way that it needs to be done. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I look for it. [SPEAKER_01]: I want to figure out why the Smithsonian gets rid of all Giants bones and I want to know a lot of that. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I want to figure out all this stuff out and I want to keep it to the back door. [SPEAKER_01]: So I can figure out what's going on.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, if you get one of those Antanaki sets of bones, let me know. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just, I want to measure the femur. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm really curious. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but because then you can know just based on the golden ratio, [SPEAKER_02]: That's it. [SPEAKER_02]: One bone can change the world. [SPEAKER_02]: That's what my grandfather used to tell me growing up. [SPEAKER_02]: And when he was not, he was talking about, he was a homosexual too. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but so.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I kidding. [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not supposed to pull that. [SPEAKER_02]: Listen, I can't let it get you on. [SPEAKER_00]: That's it. [SPEAKER_00]: That should be it. [SPEAKER_00]: That's Candidate Market Live again on our show. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because what's going to happen is they're going to run an article tomorrow that I didn't correct you, gentlemen, anti-Gay, Mark Lam, wouldn't grab it. [SPEAKER_01]: Probably already say that. [SPEAKER_02]: I can't.

[SPEAKER_02]: So to shot his mouth off, you know, this is like, OK, cool. [SPEAKER_02]: I'm kidding, my grandfather wasn't gay. [SPEAKER_02]: He was just in the Navy. [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I'll get a shirt for him here today for Pride Month. [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not kidding. [SPEAKER_02]: This is a drinking bros. My grandfather wasn't the Navy anymore too. [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, whatever he is, you know, I'm sure something went down in that submarine, but whatever.

[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, but yeah, when you do get up there, um, are you going to be able to share it with everybody and say, hey, all right, what do you guys really want to know? [SPEAKER_00]: Well, there's a couple of people who do it really well, um, Tim Bercette does it really well.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes. [SPEAKER_02]: What's his name is that yeah, and that's why I ask is that part of your strategy to like all right guys Yeah, the guy that I like in Texas the most and we've had him on the show Brandon go yeah, yeah, Brandon goes really fun. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, Brandon is Brandon is the Probably that the star of the show right now for the young folks coming up [SPEAKER_01]: and he's doing a great very wealth.

[SPEAKER_01]: He's very intelligent, really capable, Eli Crane's another good one. [SPEAKER_01]: He's not a friend, to Sarah's saying. [SPEAKER_02]: Sarah's just the one in Texas, yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but Harrison will, we'll literally just take his cell phone and say, all right, I'm on the floor right now. [SPEAKER_02]: Here's what's going on. [SPEAKER_02]: One of my favorite videos of his was he was like, it's this is Cinco de Mayo.

[SPEAKER_02]: Your taxpayers have paid for a Mariatchi band, this buffet style set up and all this other shit. [SPEAKER_02]: We're supposed to vote today. [SPEAKER_02]: We're not gonna vote on any of the 26 bills that we're supposed to vote today because everybody's party in here. [SPEAKER_02]: Is that gonna be part of it? [SPEAKER_02]: And can you use that on your YouTube channel?

[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't do it with my YouTube channel, but I would do it with my social media, my Instagram, my Facebook, all of that. [SPEAKER_01]: You know, like my family depends on the YouTube, but we keep politics out of that. [SPEAKER_01]: But I would have to create a new YouTube channel for the political side of it, but absolutely, I've been that guy on social media for Instagram and YouTube and Facebook and all the things.

[SPEAKER_01]: I've been the guy that tries to tell people the truth. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and there was a comment you made on somebody else's show a while back that I loved. [SPEAKER_02]: Where you said, you know, we were body cams is cops. [SPEAKER_02]: Why can't we do it as congressmen? [SPEAKER_02]: And I think that would be unbelievable. [SPEAKER_02]: If we actually got to see what was going on and then you could tune in to what your congressmen was actually doing for you.

[SPEAKER_02]: Throughout the day like hey dude, I mean obviously I don't want to see you know dumping out and all that stuff like after your coffee in the morning throwing a pouch in but uh but the rest of it yes like when you go down to these votes when you're talking to people on the floor and everything else I'd be really curious to see that just call instead of live PD just call it live congress um and yeah it's just that's not a bad idea

[SPEAKER_01]: Because, look, if you tell everybody that's on your schedule and you can always corroborate the videos that are released with the schedule that you have, where you have a meeting with somebody, walk in and go, hey, I'm just letting you know, this is all recorded. [SPEAKER_01]: Everything, everything that we're doing is recorded. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, your meetings are going to be clean.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: people are going to be very careful and not and people are very careful around you. [SPEAKER_01]: You don't want to be seen as guide that secretly records people because nobody trusts that. [SPEAKER_01]: Right. [SPEAKER_01]: So if you're the person that's like, hey, look, I'm recording everything from my constituents just FYI. [SPEAKER_02]: That would be awesome.

[SPEAKER_02]: And if everybody had to do that, then we can actually see what's going on behind the scenes and be like, all right. [SPEAKER_01]: Where are you lying about this? [SPEAKER_02]: We're not lying about this because you didn't vote. [SPEAKER_02]: The way you said you were going to vote. [SPEAKER_02]: And that's what we voted you in for. [SPEAKER_02]: So that would be super fascinating, I think. [SPEAKER_02]: I guarantee you they've been cast a lot.

[SPEAKER_01]: You would watch Congress would actually come together on a bipartisan little cast a lot, saying you cannot have a camera on congressional grounds or something. [SPEAKER_01]: They would come up with something stupid like that. [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, for sure, absolutely, absolutely. [SPEAKER_02]: Now, you are endorsed by President Trump. [SPEAKER_02]: How did that come about and was there a phone call? [SPEAKER_02]: Is it a true social post?

[SPEAKER_02]: How do you find out about that or do you spend time together? [SPEAKER_01]: I actually knew somebody that was able to kind of connect us and we had a phone call brief phone call and he said, hey, get with so and so at the White House, so then I sent them a message and I said, hey, we got a phone call with President Trump and he he's talking about endorsing us. [SPEAKER_01]: And so he says, OK, let me verify it. [SPEAKER_01]: He goes and verifies it.

[SPEAKER_01]: Messages us back the next day and says, yes, the president is going to endorse you. [SPEAKER_01]: And do not get ahead of the president. [SPEAKER_01]: And then you started seeing all these endorsements over the next few days, start dropping. [SPEAKER_01]: And ours came out like on Tuesday. [SPEAKER_01]: Some days when we found out, came out on a Tuesday. [SPEAKER_01]: Look, that's still carries a ton of weight.

[SPEAKER_01]: in a lot of, we've seen all across this country, huge weight, and I'm honored to have it. [SPEAKER_01]: I also have the endorsement of the club to growth, which is great for business and freedom. [SPEAKER_01]: House freedom fund, another organization that that's the basically the House Freedom Caucus. [SPEAKER_01]: I've also, a lot of these, you don't solicit either, you just get people endorsing you've got speaker Johnson, police.

[SPEAKER_01]: So we've had some really great endorsements. [SPEAKER_01]: But here's the book matters. [SPEAKER_01]: All of those are can be great. [SPEAKER_01]: What really matters is I'm not. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm looking for the endorsement of the people. [SPEAKER_01]: That's the endorsement to me that matters. [SPEAKER_01]: So I could have any all the endorsements in the world. [SPEAKER_01]: If you don't have your people voting you in and saying this is the guy we want, then it's all for not.

[SPEAKER_01]: And so. [SPEAKER_01]: My focus on my effort is I'm trying to earn the endorsement of the people like I've done as the sheriff. [SPEAKER_01]: I tried to do and send it, but I didn't have the Trump endorsement at ultimately. [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's what beat me and showed out just how powerful it was. [SPEAKER_01]: And then also, you know, being able to get out there and say, hey, look, I'm here to help, and I'm here to serve you the people.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that's what's [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah and Trump hasn't missed. [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, right now he's undefeated as far as his endorsements go. [SPEAKER_02]: So it absolutely carries a lot of weight because all of us want to see his agenda carried out at the end of the day. [SPEAKER_02]: And that's why we're interested in having candidates like you on the show and Mark and Brandon and all those other guys is you got to get it's just it's more than one dude.

[SPEAKER_02]: You got to get a ton of people in there so that this will continue for years and years because this problem that we have in America today isn't going to be corrected overnight. [SPEAKER_02]: I think Dan and I have said this on the show a few times. [SPEAKER_02]: We're looking at a 10 to 12-year process here to really correct America and undo all this fraud, undo all this shitty [SPEAKER_02]: It's got to continue on with a Republican party here for the next 10 to 12 years.

[SPEAKER_02]: Or like you said at the top of the show, a Democrats can begin their day one and just undo every executive order and the border and we're fucked again. [SPEAKER_02]: And, yeah, truthfully, at this point with our country, we simply cannot afford it. [SPEAKER_02]: financially and crime-wise like we cannot afford to have 20 million more immigrants come through our borders.

[SPEAKER_02]: We cannot allow all this fraud and waste to keep happening because that's where all the taxpayers money is going and this financial crisis that we're in, it's kind of self-created by the Democratic Party where all of our money is being wasted. [SPEAKER_02]: It's socialism. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: They're not Democrats. [SPEAKER_01]: Like it's not the Democrat party anymore.

[SPEAKER_01]: They're the people that they are pushing that they're electing that they're championed that they're they're celebrating our people like Mondami, a self-evaled socialist communist. [SPEAKER_01]: You've got Spanberger, socialist, Katie Wilson, and in Washington, socialist. [SPEAKER_01]: These are all. [SPEAKER_01]: And they're not pushing away from it. [SPEAKER_01]: They're not saying, hey, we didn't want that guy.

[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't believe you know, that's not what our party believes. [SPEAKER_01]: They're right there, champing it and celebrating it. [SPEAKER_01]: And so this is where they want to go. [SPEAKER_01]: They don't think you can live your life the way you should. [SPEAKER_01]: So they want to tell you how to live your life. [SPEAKER_01]: They're going to say, what you can and cannot do, what freedoms you are capable of having in which ones you're not, how you spend your money.

[SPEAKER_01]: And where your money is spent, you should not have any say so is what they think. [SPEAKER_01]: They think, well, if we said it over here to this country across the world, we think that's best, and you should just shut up and say nothing. [SPEAKER_01]: That's what the Democrat Party has become. [SPEAKER_01]: And that's not what it was before. [SPEAKER_01]: And look, for my grandmother, the Republicans, many Republicans have fallen into the same trap.

[SPEAKER_01]: And so what we need now, I consider myself a constitutional conservative. [SPEAKER_01]: I consider myself somebody who believes in the inception of this country and the greatness that we've had is because of the constitution and because of the men and women that have sacrificed to build it. [SPEAKER_01]: And I want to honor that and keep pushing it forward. [SPEAKER_01]: And that takes God's and it takes time. [SPEAKER_01]: I tell people on the campaign trail, you nailed it.

[SPEAKER_01]: If you fix a problem overnight, especially a problem that decades to create, then you didn't fix it. [SPEAKER_01]: You didn't, that's not a fix. [SPEAKER_01]: A fixed takes time and you go through the pain process of fixing it and then on the other side of it you come out and it's a long term fixed. [SPEAKER_01]: So I like I tell people gift present Trump some latitude on a lot of these things because they don't fix themselves overnight.

[SPEAKER_01]: They were decades in the in the making and one more thing about government this might be a bad analogy to use. [SPEAKER_01]: But one of my experiences taught me in law enforcement is domestic violence never goes backwards and violence. [SPEAKER_01]: And so, when the violence gets you the next time, it's worse. [SPEAKER_01]: And so, if you let these folks back in, trust me, the border will be worse than it was. [SPEAKER_01]: The freedoms you will lose will be worse.

[SPEAKER_01]: The anti-govern laws will be worse. [SPEAKER_01]: Everything that will restrict you will be worse. [SPEAKER_01]: That's just the way this works in government. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and it's your point about the socialist, Luke, one of our producers, and I were talking about this yesterday on air, it does seem that's where the party is headed for the Democrats, they're there, they're not here, they're not here, they're there, I know.

[SPEAKER_02]: And this, Nithia Romenschick, who's in LA for mayor right now, who magically got in the second place over Spencer Proud after three weeks, socialist as well. [SPEAKER_02]: You would have potentially, we'll see how it shakes out November, but you would potentially have the two biggest cities in the United States of America in New York and L.A. run by socialist.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, he, Mark mentioned it earlier to the total, the Tokvill talked about this, and I've, [SPEAKER_00]: also quoted the Scottish judge Alexander Taylor as well, like once people realize, so it's from two different angles. [SPEAKER_00]: Once politicians realize this is from the Tokville that they can bribe you with their own money, then democracy begins to fail from titler Alexander Taylor he says.

[SPEAKER_00]: once people, the citizenry, just figures out that they can vote themselves, large S from the public treasury, then democracy fails, but this is all a person problem. [SPEAKER_00]: It's a problem of men who are pieces of shit, who are not real men, right? [SPEAKER_00]: The appropriate action is one of my quotes.

[SPEAKER_00]: The appropriate action of a man who has inherited Western civilization, including its philosophy, its laws, and the particular genius of the American experiment in order liberty is to tend it, right? [SPEAKER_00]: Not to treat it as a birthright requiring no maintenance, not to consume the freedoms while ignoring the foundations to tend it, including when no one's watching, right? [SPEAKER_00]: It isn't some heroic act that changes things over time. [SPEAKER_00]: It is repetition.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's it. [SPEAKER_00]: It is the quiet work of becoming and being a fucking man. [SPEAKER_00]: And until we have men who are capable and willing to do that, then it doesn't matter what Congress does. [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't matter what Trump does. [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't none of this matters. [SPEAKER_00]: Nothing matters until there are men worthy of this country. [SPEAKER_00]: That's it.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and we feel that you are worthy of this country as well, Mark and we're rooting for you, [SPEAKER_01]: A bank and I don't want to make this look like a bunch of nerdy book club because I love I love reading to it. [SPEAKER_01]: I can clearly see you guys like it as well. [SPEAKER_01]: But if you want to read a good book, folks about how to wear wear hat, there's an old book from the 8th mid-1800s by another Frenchman, Frederick Bastia, called The Law.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's a very short book. [SPEAKER_01]: Talk to a lot about the importance of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and how the founding fathers in this country in America had really captured it.

[SPEAKER_01]: But he also talks about plunder illegal plunder and legal plunder and what happens is you have you have well intention people that start off thinking I want to stop this legal plunder in my country, but then they went and they get on the pirate ship and they're like man the booties pretty good. [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm just going to keep on with this legal plunder. [SPEAKER_01]: And that's what we see as we need, and it goes back to not having strong men.

[SPEAKER_01]: We have men of weak, affordable fiber and character that ultimately when the pressure hits them, they can't withstand it. [SPEAKER_01]: And then they become part of the legal plunder. [SPEAKER_01]: 35% taxes is not, it's plunder.

[SPEAKER_01]: Guys, I mean, the sopranos and the al-component would be thrilled with [SPEAKER_01]: and it's to get us to 35% that's just income tax and that's legal plunder just because you passed the law does not not make it legal or plunder it's just they've made so much of this taking of your tax dollars and your money just because they passed the law they tried to legalize the plunder folks it's still plunder.

[SPEAKER_01]: So if you get a chance to read that book, go read the law by Frederick Bastiatte, it will really give you an insight as to what we're dealing with these people get into office and how they shift and how, really, what we should be looking at is life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. [SPEAKER_01]: And how can we preserve that? [SPEAKER_01]: How can we tend that? [SPEAKER_01]: I love that quote.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and you can go on audible right now and the law by Frederick Bastiatte is free. [SPEAKER_01]: really that's it free if you can't be a little free book and read it and thank you can do it that way it takes it's a two-hour audio book if you can't get that done this weekend then you got some other problems yeah you got some problems yeah it every American I think even though it's written by Frenchman and not the back on French but well every American

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like France and England and Germany and Spain, if you will, if you want America to be, look at Europe, we're about, I don't know how many years behind, but we're on the same path as Europe. [SPEAKER_01]: The only difference is we have the second amendment, so they haven't been able to go as hard at us. [SPEAKER_01]: And those people now in Ireland and all these places are after they actually physically fight to get their country back.

[SPEAKER_01]: We don't want to get to that place. [SPEAKER_02]: I think you're in so many years, by the way, if if the wrong part is in there. [SPEAKER_01]: If it will be like gas on a fire and it'll increase that time will shrink down to nothing but I think every American should read the law. [SPEAKER_01]: I think it should be one of those books that people should read to understand. [SPEAKER_01]: I could list a bunch of other books, but that would be one of the really good book to read.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and the one on list is it nights you cry as well. [SPEAKER_02]: He rides his seat. [SPEAKER_02]: It's the first ever romance novel for Dudes, Mark. [SPEAKER_02]: And I think he had that as well. [SPEAKER_02]: By a brilliant young author named Ross Patterson. [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I mean, give it a go if you want Mark. [SPEAKER_02]: That's up to you. [SPEAKER_02]: It's about the last room. [SPEAKER_01]: We have a little good club here.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's about the last room, man, on Earth, you're welcome for that. [SPEAKER_02]: But now's the point to show. [SPEAKER_02]: We get to the drinking bro of the week, which is someone who has inspired you or helps you become the person you are today, who'd you like to give the drinking bro the week, too. [SPEAKER_02]: Is it a living person or a dead person could be either?

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, living person, like obviously, I could be living or dead, who, like, whoever you want in this life. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it is Jesus Christ. [SPEAKER_01]: Look, I think that paid for our sins, I'm out and here, I'm at the grace of God, I'm on the earth, and I'm blessed, and my family's blessed.

[SPEAKER_01]: So, I mean, that's first and foremost, but I'm also a lover of faith that [SPEAKER_01]: the Patriots that built this country, the men like you were talking about that can tend this George Washington. [SPEAKER_01]: There's so many other very good examples of a real men that built this country, but if you ask me for one, that's Jesus Christ is the key point in my life. [SPEAKER_01]: That's what keeps me grounded.

[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's what helps push me and carry me through what I have to go through on a daily basis. [SPEAKER_01]: And frankly, it's the whole purpose of life anyway is our relationship with God and how we prove ourselves and who what kind of men we are and we prove ourselves to be while here on this Earth. [SPEAKER_02]: That's awesome, man, and I'm going to add my own, because obviously you're a sheriff, and last night I went to game five for the Hurricanes last night.

[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously it was going to booze it up and decided not to drive. [SPEAKER_02]: There was a former cop who's retired now after a long, great career in rightsful beach. [SPEAKER_02]: He started his own company, Excel, black car services, [SPEAKER_02]: in the car driving us everywhere we go versus like a retired cop, obviously, but like versus some fucking immigrant Uber driver, where I was like, man, dude, uh, this is awesome, and it's that it was cheaper for crisis.

[SPEAKER_02]: And there's a lot of police officers who were tire and are looking for that second business, or income, or something else, and a way to start over, and small businesses are very, very hard, and I'm sure a lot of people that you work with [SPEAKER_02]: And then they want to start their own companies. [SPEAKER_02]: They want to start a YouTube channel and all that other stuff. [SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, man, I always support those guys. [SPEAKER_02]: Shut up to Rob last night.

[SPEAKER_02]: He was super cool and we swapped some of those cop stories. [SPEAKER_02]: Man, the way the girls try to get out of tickets is really high-doll. [SPEAKER_01]: It is my analtory. [SPEAKER_01]: It is my analtory. [SPEAKER_01]: There's a funny thing. [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not just, you know, there's funny was a look at the shell initially when we got on here drinking bros. My wife and I are two people that have never had a sip of alcohol in our lives.

[SPEAKER_01]: I've taken life straight to the face, whatever life has thrown at me, I have taken undold and taken the pain straight to the face. [SPEAKER_02]: You know what's funny is drinking bros actually isn't about drinking. [SPEAKER_02]: We were founded by Jared Taylor, one of our co-hosts, who found a black rifle coffee, and it was simply just a place where, hey, if you want to meet up for a drink, great, just don't kill yourself.

[SPEAKER_02]: It can be alcohol, it can be water, it can be coffee, it could be whatever you want, or you get absolutely.

[SPEAKER_02]: could be an energy drink anything just please don't kill yourself and that's that's actually the name of our show started so yeah whether you're sober or drink or whatever we don't care just please don't take your life at the end of the day and it's not just veterans obviously there's a lot of men and women in law enforcement who leave the job and uh and end up commiting suicide as well. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's right. [SPEAKER_01]: And it takes us all.

[SPEAKER_01]: This job takes us all of military, you know, law enforcement. [SPEAKER_01]: There's a reason why it cops only survived about five years after they die. [SPEAKER_01]: Or after they retire, a lot of them died for the physical damage, you know, the stress we put out the ups and downs in our might, you know, all of our dopamine hits that we take from the stress and the adrenaline rushes.

[SPEAKER_01]: And then obviously the stuff we see is hard to deal [SPEAKER_01]: I wrote a book called Ten Seven and I have another company called Ten Seven Consulting. [SPEAKER_01]: It's designed to help veterans and law enforcement and first responders prepare to leave a life of service. [SPEAKER_01]: So my book is Ten Seven when your shift ends and your life begins. [SPEAKER_01]: And it helps you just exactly what you were talking about. [SPEAKER_01]: Realize you need more.

[SPEAKER_01]: You need new purpose in your life. [SPEAKER_01]: You build the business. [SPEAKER_01]: Take those skills that you picked up in that career and apply those skills into the business world, be the owner of your own fate, give yourself purpose and we want to help people understand exactly what you got to do to build that business. [SPEAKER_01]: And part of it, you know, then being a member is we give them we help them set up their first LLC.

[SPEAKER_01]: So. [SPEAKER_02]: That's awesome. [SPEAKER_02]: And as again, that's why I brought my buddy Rob from last night where if you can find that business or that job or that next purpose, then it really takes everything on the stress off your mind and everything else and you're focused on something else. [SPEAKER_02]: And then maybe the dark thoughts don't creep in after you leave the force or the military or whatever it is. [SPEAKER_02]: But a lot of people don't know how to do that.

[SPEAKER_02]: Creating their own LLC like you said. [SPEAKER_01]: 10 7 when your shift ends in your life begins and then the website is go 10 7 G o T and 7 dot com so it's 10 T and 7 is the name of the book and go 10 7 dot com. [SPEAKER_01]: That's awesome because it isn't as difficult as people think. [SPEAKER_02]: Setting up an LLC and everything else, but if you haven't gone through the process, you don't know what to do. [SPEAKER_02]: So that's great that you wrote that book.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's awesome, man. [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you so much for being here. [SPEAKER_02]: And for real, we should have the best of luck. [SPEAKER_02]: If you need any help in the future in regards to the campaign in November, please come back on the show as an absolute pleasure. [SPEAKER_01]: I appreciate it. [SPEAKER_01]: Make sure to vote. [SPEAKER_01]: Get out and vote. [SPEAKER_01]: You got to get out and vote.
