30 Jun 2025
Full Episode
I just want to say congratulations to the American citizens. We had a huge win last night. I just got word this morning about it. What am I talking about? I'm talking about a certain amount of US politicians, people that we elected, were trying to sell in between two and three million acres of public land. That's land that's ours, the American citizen.
That's my land, that's your land, that's land that Theodore Roosevelt set aside for people like us to enjoy and to do as we please on it. Now what was happening is they wanted to sell between two and three million acres of public land for affordable housing. That would have affected a lot of people. And we got loud about it. I'm way late to this party. But we got loud about it.
And I got word last night that we're going to pack this into the big, beautiful bill. And it got pushed out. They dropped it. But I don't think this is over. From my understanding, this has been going on for the better part of a decade, 10 years. And so I'm sure...
It's going to pop up again, even though the majority of the American people that I know, I've seen poll after poll that says we do not want our land sold. And so I want to say thank you to a couple of people that were way ahead of me on this. And I just I just I have a tremendous amount of respect for people to get loud on certain issues. because there's a lot of fear that comes with that.
So I want to say thank you to Cameron Haynes, to the guys over at Meat Eater, Jocko Willink, Joe Rogan, Senator Tim Sheehy, and most of all, Braxton McCoy, who had the balls to come on my show and talk about this. You know, I'm thanking him because when you do this,
When you go up against and speak for the people and talk about what you believe in that isn't in the government's agenda, you carry a ungodly amount of stress, a tremendous amount of fear. I mean, what you're going up against is a corrupt establishment and it's sad. But they pulled it out of the bill. Like I said, it's probably not over. crazy, right? You know, I hate to say this, but the U.S.
Capitol and the majority of D.C. has turned into the world's most elite, expensive brothel. And they're always open for business so long as it benefits them, the ones sitting in office. And it's disgusting. And I hate what our country has turned into with this. It was never supposed to be like this. It's supposed to be you represent the people that elected you.
And time and time again, I don't feel like that's happening. It's disgusting. We need a third party. I mean, when you speak out, this is why I want to thank these guys. Because when you speak out, you're going up against people who a couple of years ago, before they were elected, probably didn't have much. The majority of them didn't have much.
And time and time again, we see elected officials, and after a couple of years, they're millionaires. And after a couple more years, they're worth hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars on a salary that supposedly only pays about $200,000 a year. Now, how does that happen? Well, that's why I say it's become the most elite, most expensive brothel in the world.
