Wow, what a great podcast today.

We have Herschel Walker for an hour.

He's amazing.

He's

running for Senate.

The other thing that I think is really worth listening to and listening to the entire interview is

the parents of the Marine that went viral because he was saying, you know, our military leaders need to be held accountable.

He was jailed

and it looks like they want him in prison and to silence him.

We talked to his parents, Stu and Kathy Scheller,

about an incredible, I think, first political prisoner in this revolution of America.

All on today's podcast.

You're listening to the best of the Blenbeck program.

Episode 119 of the Glenbeck podcast.

This week, if the deep state can ruin General Flynn's life, it can ruin yours.

I sat down for just over an hour with General Flynn in a

wide-ranging

interview, immigration crisis in Del Rio, the opioid crisis, the impact of critical race theory, the threat of radical Islamism, the corruption of the media, persecution of Brett Kavanaugh, the incompetence of Biden, tragedy in Afghanistan, hypocrisy of General Milley, Russia.

We covered it all.

We covered it all.

And you can find that now on blazetv.com slash Glenn, the podcast episode 119.

If the deep state can ruin General Flynn's life, it can ruin yours.

You don't want to miss it.

What about the apocryphal?

You talked to General Milley.

Did you talk about General Mills?

No.

Because what about their hypocrisy with the oops, all berries, Captain Crunch thing?

What about that?

Yeah.

Okay.

That's been going on for

that.

What's it been, 35, 40 years, Stu?

Where they've been pretending like that's a mistake?

Yeah, we made a mistake.

Can we finally fess up?

All of our boxes just happened to be all berries and no Captain Crunch made it into any of them.

Oops.

We're going to accept that excuse?

No.

It's nonsense.

I'm sick of it.

I'm sick of it.

Fix the freaking problem.

Fix it.

You meant to put all berries in that box.

Admit it.

Admit it.

Joe Biden said he didn't.

Wow.

That he can recall.

That he can recall.

Right.

Welcome to Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed.

Pat, we've been talking about inflation and how the Fed is calling it frustrating.

Very frustrating.

It's frustrating.

Yeah, it is.

I don't think he means it the same way the American people mean it.

No, ever.

I don't think so.

In Springfield,

the city utility of Springfield, Missouri came out and told their customers: because of natural gas prices, because the Biden administration is cutting the supply of natural gas,

if you paid $90 a month last year for your natural gas heat,

you're going to pay a little bit more.

Approximately $175 a month

at today's prices.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Last year, it's 225

per million BTUs.

Current market price is $5.50 per BTU.

That's crazy.

Yeah.

That is crazy.

And all caused by our own government.

And then they say

it's absurd.

to think that people will pass this on to their customers.

Yeah.

And unfair.

Don't forget unfair as well as absurd.

When really it's inevitable.

It has to happen.

I mean, we run a small business and we've been eating the higher costs of ingredients

for some time.

I've been eating your ingredients

too.

They're delicious.

Yeah, they are delicious.

His small company is Kexi Cookies, and they are the best cookies.

In fact, I have to read something.

It came from my sister.

You know, I came from a banking and baking, and my sisters are really, really good.

Good bakers.

michelle wrote and said this is black magic they're so good really yeah they are really good

texy.com if you'd like to try them for yourself yeah uh but yeah our prices of all our ingredients has gone way up and you know you try to take you try to just take it for a while but you can't you can't you can't keep doing it If you want to stay in business, you can't keep doing it.

To call that absurd is just so bizarre.

I mean, well, it is, but it is absurd if you're a Marxist.

Yeah, that's true.

You believe that that's unfair.

You have, these companies have unlimited ways to make money.

Well, they don't understand profit margins.

Not at all.

You know, if you have a profit margin of 5%,

if your costs go up 5%,

you're no longer making a profit.

Right.

Okay.

Well, that is great for everybody except the person,

you know, putting all the money in and running this company.

That means they're not making anything because they only make money when there is a profit.

If there's no profit, they're not making anything.

So why can't you just keep doing it?

And if it goes up 8%,

well then so just

dig deeper into your profit margin, I guess.

You don't have it.

You know, if you had a profit margin of 90%, you could do that for a little while.

Yeah, for a little while.

But this is like why this is so damaging.

I mean, there are companies that make a lot of money, that are successful, been around for a long time, that can deal with these types of things, particularly over the short term.

But like a growing business like Pat's, like, what are you supposed to do?

Right.

How can you, you can't just start jacking up prices.

You're a new business.

You're trying to get people on board.

Right, which is why we continue to eat the cost.

Right.

And this can only last so long.

Yeah.

This is why this, all of these policies, they are geared to the big companies.

The vaccination thing.

You have 100 employees.

Do you know what that's going to cost cost these companies?

Do you know

all of the crap, all of the paperwork,

all the lawsuits?

It's going to put the average small company behind the barrel.

And the labor.

Where is the labor coming from?

When you're firing 270 or 500 or 700 employees at a time, and then other people don't want to come to work because they're making too much money in California sitting at home collecting a paycheck from the government, you can't get the employees to run.

Do you know that there are

there are nurses now

that

can

make three times the amount of money they were making before

if they just will take the vaccine.

Wow.

Well, what is that going to do to the cost of everyday medicine?

I mean, everybody's like, you know, we got to get the control of the cost of health care.

Well, not if you're paying your nurses three times the going rate because you have a shortage of nurses.

Now they're importing the nurses from not only other states, but other countries.

So, you know, it's funny because they're, first of all, then they're lightening up the amount of nurses in these other areas.

Right.

So it's causing shortages in other

areas.

In places that probably need nurses more than we need nurses.

Right.

It makes no sense.

I mean, it's crazy.

New Jersey just said they're going to, the state is going to start giving people $500

if you go to work

while the federal government is paying you $500 to not go to work.

Unbelievable.

Which one do you think you'd pick?

Not go to work.

Yeah.

Not go to work.

Yeah.

It does seem like that's the better option.

Do you know that fast food places are offering $16 and $17 an hour now to get...

Yeah.

I told my son, and I can't get him to do it.

I told my son,

go work for McDonald's right now.

You're 17 years old.

Go work for McDonald's.

You'll make a lot of money doing that.

You will make a lot of money.

And by the time you're, you know, second year in college, you'll be running the dump.

You will be the manager because nobody wants those jobs.

You'll be the manager at 20 to have on your resume manager of McDonald's.

Yeah.

I know that's not all glamorous, but that's pretty damn good.

And you'd learn a ton.

You'd learn a ton.

You'd be so far ahead of anybody.

If anyone is smart right now and you're, you know, 18, 17, 18, 19, 20 years old, you would go in and you would take these jobs and you would enter in a much higher job level than you would have before if you have any brains.

And you'll be able to really work hard for two years and you will be in charge of it.

And maybe that's not what you want to do.

I kept saying to myself, he's like, I don't want to work at McDonald's.

Oh, I know.

It's so horrible, isn't it?

Oh, my gosh, working in McDonald's.

I said,

first of all, all this, all this stuff that you're living with, it's all mine.

It's all mine.

Mine.

Oh, he's got another year of it.

Oh, I told him.

He's like, Dad, I have two more years of high school.

And I said, yep, but you have only one more year

until I legally have to provide this.

You know, at 18, I don't legally have to provide you anything.

Just remember that.

But honestly, if your kids are smart, get them into some of these jobs, even at fast food restaurants.

The opportunity has never been as great in America as it is right now.

And that's saying something.

Jobs that we're paying $7.50 an hour are now up to $15 and $16 and $17 an hour sometimes.

I mean, double what they were, more than double what they were, just to try to lure employees into work for them.

Yeah, without a national

minimum wage of $15 an hour, which is kind of interesting.

But

there's tons of places.

I have friends who have daughters that are right around Rafe's age, and one of them works at a Chick-fil-A, but they don't open up the

dining room.

And not because they're worried about COVID.

It's because they can't find anybody to work it.

They can't staff the place well enough to work.

I went to a football game.

That's amazing.

I went to a football.

My son's in football and went to a football game last weekend, I think.

We couldn't find a restaurant, you know, a fast food restaurant open at 9.30 at night on a Friday.

Yeah, there's no employees.

He's like,

what is happening here?

Yep.

And

this is your future, America.

You know, remember I said jobs are going to change.

Things are going to change.

Everything's going to change.

And it'll be in about a 10-year period.

We are in that 10-year period.

I mean, I'm not an expert on this, but Pat, I mean, for your particular situation, could you consider maybe putting eight sticks of butter in each cookie instead of nine?

Like, something like that might cut the cost a little bit.

It's really not black magic, it is just butter.

Pure butter.

It's delicious butter.

Oh, my God.

We might have caused the butter shortage.

Yeah, I'm not sure.

We might.

You know, my dad always said, uh,

because I would be like, you know, dad, that's a lot of butter.

And he'd be like, you know, when it comes to dessert, cookies, things like that, he said, people know

they're going to splurge.

So

give it to them.

Give it to them in the best way.

Let every single calorie count.

Yeah, and it's true.

It's true.

It's a good way of looking at it.

Great.

You might as well enjoy it.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, our cookies are not diet cookies.

These are not diet cookies.

No.

Just know that going in.

Wow, you should have put that on on the box.

I know.

I might have a lawsuit for you.

I may be suing you.

Did you think there was only like 12 calories?

I did.

There's no marking on it.

I think there's more like 15, 15 or 16.

100?

Thousand.

I love that because there's some place.

You go to the grocery store and they have, every once in a while, there's a warning and it says like, not a low-calorie food.

And it's like, there's so many products here that aren't low-calorie foods.

Why do you have to tell me this?

I don't know what there's some regulation that puts it.

I bet there is, right?

Yeah, there is something.

There's certain, I think it might be like diabetic products that

might not have sugar in them.

So people might think they're low-cost.

Can I get insulin with every box of cookies?

We'll look into that.

Okay, you should.

You should.

They're very good.

Kexi Cookies.

What's the kexi.com?

K-E-K-S-I

dot com.

So easy to remember.

Whatever.

He's a brilliant marketing man.

Thank you.

Really is.

All right.

Thanks, Pat.

Appreciate it.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

And don't forget, rate us on iTunes.

In case you need a reminder of who we're talking about when we say Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller, I want you to listen to his viral video, just a bit of it.

All of these people are supposed to advise, and I'm not saying we've got to be

in Afghanistan forever, but I am saying, did any of you throw your rank on the table and say, hey, it's a bad idea to evacuate Bagram airfield, the strategic air barriers, before we evacuate everyone?

Did anyone do that?

And when you didn't think to do that, did anyone raise their hand and say, we completely messed this up?

I've got battalion commander friends right now that are posting similar things.

And they're saying,

you know.

Wondering if all the lives were lost and if it was in vain, all those people that we've lost.

Okay, so you remember this, I'm sure, happened right after the debacle in Afghanistan.

And I think it was like the next day he resigns.

He resigns his

commission, and

he's really not a nobody, so you know.

He is a guy who has been decorated several times.

Let me just get this.

He has a bronze star, Army commendation with V for valor, three meritorious service medals, three Navy commendations, 17 years in the Corps.

He was just a few years away from retirement.

He willingly gave up his retirement and his pension, but now he sits in jail.

His parents are with us now.

Stu and Kathy, how are you?

Well, this is a tough day for us.

Today he goes

for his first hearing.

The military dumped a 640-page

packet,

not even within 24 hours.

They let him know when the hearing was going to be, and here are 640 pages for you to go through.

So we are on pins and needles today.

We are worried.

We feel the weight of our son's future, the future of his family, the future of America on our shoulders right now.

Have you heard from

I'm kind of on this kick today of where the hell is the GOP?

Have you heard from any senators, congressmen?

Is anybody reaching out

to help you with all of this?

We,

by the way, we've heard more in the last 24 hours than we've heard in the last 30 days.

And that's because starting on Tuesday, we asked Americans to write their congressmen.

So yes, Senator Mike Lee from Utah reached out to me.

Good.

Our local Cincinnati, Ohio Representative, representative, Brad Winstrup, has been amazing.

He has been wonderful for the since the video came out.

We contacted him and he has been helping us throughout this.

He's a veteran.

He gets it.

We have a conversation today with our senator, Rob Portman.

But I got to tell you, and as you've seen in the hearings for the last two days,

grilling

Austin, Miley, and McKinsey,

there have been senators and representatives that are speaking on behalf of Lieutenant Colonel Scheller.

So it's,

but bottom line,

was it effective?

I think we, as Americans, all have witnessed in the last two days, these three generals are not accepting accountability.

And that's all Stewart asked.

And that's what he asked 31 days ago.

He hasn't got it.

And by the way, Glenn, in terms of your facts, Stewart posted his first video on that Thursday night, August 26th, at about 10 p.m., five, six hours after our 13 service members were killed.

On Friday, within 12 hours, he was relieved of his very prestigious command.

And on Sunday, he resigned and submitted his resignation on a video.

And the United States Marine Corps didn't accept it.

They said that you serve at the pleasure of the president, and we'll let you know when you can go.

And so it's outrageous.

We have called on Americans to find their voice, to stand up,

and

support our son.

So we don't know what's going to happen today at the hearing.

We have been given low expectations.

The Marines have done nothing but put pressure on him for the last 30 days.

The low expectations are he could be in prison for three, six, nine, twelve months pending a court-martial.

It's outrageous.

So, why do you think they're doing this?

To shut him up.

You want to know the truth?

They don't want him talking.

And he pressed charges.

He was bringing a suit against

General McKenzie.

And the moment he dropped, they told him,

you have that story.

Well, I mean,

he filed 13 charges against General McKenzie.

One for each service member lost.

And they didn't like that.

So he spoke

the truth to power, and they are squelching his voice, and they have done everything to try to make him look emotionally unstable.

They've tried to,

you know, intimidate him.

They have honored him for the last few years.

He's also an entrepreneur.

He started a product called the Perfect Ribbon, where

service members have ribbons on their chest and they put stars in them.

He created a mold,

and he was trying to help Marines transition from active duty and follow their dreams and be entrepreneurs.

So the Marines thought that was awesome.

And they commended him for and promoted him for that.

On day four of this ordeal, they pulled all of his products out of 45 of the PXs.

So they've done everything to squash him.

And it's an embarrassment internationally.

We have people writing from all over the world watching what our military leaders are doing to him, and they're embarrassed.

I think your son

is,

I mean, we're in revolution.

Only one side is recognizing it at this point.

But we are a nation in revolution, and I believe your son is the first political prisoner in this revolution.

We agree.

We agree.

When someone first said to me, is your son a political prisoner?

We had to look up the definition.

We didn't even know what that would be in the United States of America.

But it fits.

You know, Glenn, I've always respected you and your knowledge of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

I'm going to tell you, you and I both know

we're living history right now.

Oh, we are.

You know, a lot of young people maybe don't connect with the Patriots from 1775,

but for parents out there,

this is not going to be taught in schools, right?

So for parents out there with young people, we have 12 grandchildren.

Now they're all under 11.

But for parents out there that have young people formidable between the ages of 13 and 18,

this is the time to talk about what courage is, what integrity is, what respect is, what truth is, how to stand your ground.

This is the time to talk about tyranny, cowardice.

There are living examples right now that you can teach our young people, and I encourage anybody that is a parent out there

to bring your young people into current events

my

my son's 17

and this year he told me

that he thought he wanted to join the Marines

and

For the first time, I was kind of caught off guard because I'm not sure what that even means anymore.

It would have been, I would have been yes, absolutely, 10 years ago.

Today, I'm not sure what the Marines are going to be in two years.

And what's happening to your son scares the hell out of me.

How do you feel about

your son's career decision if you were supporting it then?

And what advice would you give a parent like me now?

Well, I'm going to answer that.

when my son first when our son first decided to go in the Marines

I wasn't sure what that meant so I've had 17 years as a Marine mom and I'm going to tell you that

and I'm going to talk in the series of men because it was our son but the Marine spouses out there

They have to be forged or Marines military they have to be forged in steel as a Marine mom

I'm not the the mother of his children, but it's his mother.

It is hard

to go through those deployments and you know that your child is putting their life on the line.

And we have lost over 7,000 troops in that 20-year war.

7,000 mothers who do not have their children anymore.

We have had somewhere between 30 to 100,000 suicides over these 20 years.

Those mothers do not have their children anymore.

This cannot be swept under the carpet.

Some things need to change so we can support our military, our military families, we can honor them while they're serving and after they're serving.

These families needed to know the accountability that our son called for was so important because these families, these service members, needed to know that what they did counted and it did count.

And there needs to be accountability so that these people can hold their heads up.

I can't tell you how many messages we received, our son received, and said, I was in a dark place when this fell.

You saved my life.

Thousands of them.

This counts.

This matters.

Accountability matters.

So you have to be, if you're not forged of steel when your child goes in, you will be.

So Glenn?

Father.

Of course you're going to support your son if he wants to join the Marine Corps.

And you are going to teach him, and as I said a moment ago, we are in the midst of history right now.

You're going to teach him about courage and valor, and you will be damn proud if he joins the Marine Corps.

But you're also going to warn him.

And

this is what is so sad about this.

The generals, can they not see that they are

killing the credibility of the Marine Corps.

You're questioning whether your son should go in.

Do they not realize by not accepting accountability and admitting their mistakes, they are

hurting our country?

They are hurting the Marine Corps.

Our son loves the Marine Corps.

Our son loves America.

He did not want to destroy that.

He was trying to build it up.

by asking his senior leaders to do the right thing and they couldn't do it.

They can't do it.

And in a subsequent video, he said, if you would just accept responsibility, I would get back in rank.

I would submit.

And they wouldn't do it.

All right.

So

your son has been put through hell.

He had to go through a mental test, a mental health test screening because, you know, he's probably crazy.

And now he's in jail.

Yesterday, you get, how many pages was it?

600.

640 pages

from basically the charges what they're going to bring up in the court case today

you got that yesterday so really no time to prepare

how can we help you

okay

so

we believe prayers work so we're asking people to pray

But we're asking people to find their voice, contact their congressmen and women, and demand accountability not only from our leaders,

but for Stuart Scheller.

We're asking them to stand up for him.

Stewart has a foundation that is supporting him.

It's called PipeHittersFoundation.org.

I know you have it up on your screen.

They can go on there and find the link for Lieutenant Colonel Scheller.

They can donate.

You know, this is, we're in it for the long haul.

We're going to need support for legal fees.

We need to support his family.

Does he have good representation or does he have to use a military attorney?

He has good representation.

He has a very good team.

He put this in place over the 30 days before he was arrested.

We all saw it coming, or we hoped it wouldn't come, but we were planning.

in case it did.

Of course, he's a 40-year-old man, and he wasn't going to accept any advice from us, the military.

But we just had to stand back and watch, and

that was very painful as they came after our son with everything our government and military could do.

Please remember, he's not just in jail.

He's thrown in, he's strip searched, he's thrown in, you know, solitary

confinement, no books, no, to sit there with his own thoughts.

No telephone calls, no media, nothing.

This is how our government is treating our war heroes.

17 years,

five deployments in the sand, dismantling, finding who's making the IEDs and protecting our service men.

So Glenn, you said he's in hell.

You know what?

He's been in hell before.

He's been in hell before, and he's willing to give it all up.

And he's done it before for the American people.

We're now asking the American people to support him.

So we're angry, and we're saying not only should the military release our son from service, they should release him with full benefits, they should honorably discharge him, they should release him from prison and let him go his own way.

This is disgraceful.

I'd like to add one thing to your list and then answer the questions that he posed.

Where's the accountability?

Where is the accountability?

I'm going to give you my personal email address when we take you off the earth just to hang for a while.

If there is anything I can do to help you, your family, your son, you just reach out and let me know.

Anything that can be done.

I stand with you and I stand with your son.

God bless you.

Thank you.

That what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, Glenn.

It does.

Truth will set you free, but it makes you miserable at first.

God bless you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Stu and Kathy Scheller, the parents of the Marine now jailed over his Afghanistan comments where he was just asking for accountability.

Again, if you would like to donate and help, you can go to pipe hitterfoundation.org.

That's pipehitterfoundation.org.

I think the first thing you have to do is call your senator.

Call your representative and make sure they hear the voice of America saying, let this guy go.

Let him go.

The first hearing is today,

and there's not a lot of hope that it's going to go well.

But if there's enough outcry from the American people, if they will just stand up, and that means you, That means you, you're listening to this program at this time for a reason.

This is possibly the reason you are here today.

Call your senator or your congressman now and go to pipehitterfoundation.org and stand for Stu.

The best of the Glenbeck program.

Herschel Walker.

I hear he's done something in sports.

I'm not really sure what it is.

He's a Heisman Trophy winner, I hear.

And now a a candidate for Senate in Georgia.

Herschel, welcome to the program.

Thank you for having me on.

You bet.

Yes.

So

what the hell are you thinking?

Well, that's a good question.

To be honest with you, I was not going to run.

I didn't want to run.

When I was told that I had to run, I had nothing to do with Donald Trump.

People don't know.

When Donald mentioned this on Fox a month before he mentioned it, I was told that I should run for that seat.

And I started praying, Lord, bring someone else.

I'm happy.

Bring someone else.

I'm not a politician.

And I went to Pastor Evans, Tony Evans, at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, and we prayed.

And he laughed at me somewhat.

And it's sort of like it's written in the Bible, if you call me, Lord, I would come.

And I knew I had to run because what's going on in this country is a shame.

that they're bringing racism up to get people quiet, not to let you say anything.

They're trying to take this Constitution and just tear it apart.

They're trying to just change America.

And I'm not going to sit back and let that happen.

I'm going to be one person that's going to fight.

And as I've been going around to a lot of my listening sessions in Georgia, I see there's a lot of other people want to fight as well.

And I'm tired of people just thinking that this is a terrible country.

You know, when you see someone hands their baby off to an American soldier, Because he feels that that baby as an orphanage would have a better life as an orphanage in another country without him than being in his own country, you know that America is a great place.

And it is time for, and I hate to say this, and people get mad when I say this, but if you don't like America, you can leave.

This is not a place that you have to stay if you don't like it.

And I'm going to fight for this country.

I'm going to fight for this Constitution.

I'm going to fight for America's rights.

We have rights here to disagree.

You and I can sit here and disagree, and I'm not supposed to harm you for our disagreement.

That's what made America beautiful.

And those are the things I want to fight for.

We used to have families that could disagree.

I mean, my grandparents were FDR Democrats.

And if anybody who lived during FDR, you were most likely a Democrat.

And that was because he was for the little guy and all of this stuff.

They never changed their mind.

Everybody else in the family was Republican, but we all got along.

Yes.

We all got along.

Well, today it is different, but it's different because of the people in Washington.

They've made it so volatile now to disagree with each other.

You know, now they become stars because they're on television arguing and fighting and all these different things.

And when the parents are like that, the kids are going to be like that.

But my thing is, let's put a stop to it.

I want to put a stop to it because there's no doubt in Georgia, a lot of my family was Democrat.

They voted Democrat probably last the last election.

They probably did.

I don't know.

But I can guarantee you this time, they're not going to vote Democrat because they know that I'm the right person for the job.

They know that I'm going to get out and do what I think is right.

I'm not going to fall total line, as people may say.

I'm going to do what I think is right for America, not what's right

to make me look popular or to make me look good.

I'm going to do what I feel is right because I love the Lord Jesus Christ.

That's what I go by.

I go by that.

He's my Bible.

And, you know, and I have a decision between him and this, you know, it's going to be tough, but I'm going to have to go with what I know is the truth.

You said, you know, you were praying.

Hey, send somebody else.

I say this often, and I don't know if it's just me, but I really believe you can really usually tell when it's the Lord, when it's something you're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, I don't want to do that.

No, no.

You know, in my life, it's funny.

A lot of people always relate me as a football player.

And yes, I played the game.

I love the game.

I love competition.

Yeah, but you played for the Eagles, I guess.

I'm not going to hold against you.

I played for almost everybody in your career.

I'm sure.

So what you're saying is you couldn't keep a job.

That's exactly right.

I couldn't keep a job.

And that's what they've been saying.

Horseshoe Eve was terrible.

He couldn't keep a job.

job.

He was moving around.

So what's funny about it is through my life,

I was told I was going to be a football player.

I knew that.

And I was a terrible football player.

I was overweight.

Remember, my mom said I was big bone.

And all the people said, no, you're fat.

I had a stuttering problem.

I couldn't put a sentence together.

And the great Lord sort of told me this is where I was going to be.

And I flipped a coin.

A lot of major decisions I've made in life.

And I'm not telling anyone out there to do that because my mom told me, as long as my heart and my mind is pure to the Lord Jesus,

no matter what decision I make, God will make it right for you.

Because no matter if you're making it off of pure mind and no, it's not about greed, about anything else, you may go in the wrong direction, but I guarantee you're getting that destination you need to go as long as you have the faith that you're going to get there.

And faith is not something you see all the time.

Faith is sometimes something you don't see.

But you got to believe it and you got to go for it.

And that's why I tell all the kids that.

And it helps if you understand that the destination that you're supposed to be at is not necessarily the destination you want to be.

You want to be.

Yeah.

Yes.

And you were expecting, you're like, well, he's going to help me be a great football player.

No, maybe not.

But something is happening on that road

that puts you exactly where you need to be.

Where you're supposed to be at.

And that's what I told people.

And I said, there's no doubt you're going to make mistakes.

And people always make mistakes.

I'm telling you, no one is perfect.

He without sin casts the first stone.

And I know that I'm never going to be perfect.

But what I do know is right now I'm supposed to be at this point because what they're trying to do to this country is a shame.

What they're trying to do to the state of Georgia is a shame.

So are you,

are you,

I mean, I've been around it for a long time.

Yes.

But until I actually went on the road with presidential candidates, I had no idea how vicious it really is.

Are you willing to go through...

I mean, they're going to tear you.

They already are.

They're going to tear you apart.

tear you apart well i am because it's not about me it's not about me at all what this is about is i have a kid i have i have relatives i have friends that have kids and if i leave this world and leave them to become a communist world i'm not going to like it i'm not going to like because they can't survive like that and i know that and i said i'm not going to leave without speaking out without a lot of people speaking out because there's more americans that believe in this country than the few that's shouting so loud against this country they just just need someone to stand up and say, wait a minute, guys, we have laws in this country.

We have the Constitution that we have to go by.

So we're not going to let these loud voices take that away from us.

Even the people in Washington.

You know, how in the world could you want to tear the Constitution up?

My thing is, to be qualified to run for office in America, why don't you first have to admit you love America?

If you don't love America, don't run.

Is that not true?

Then you have to admit you love the Constitution because the Constitution, and this is what's so funny.

know since all this been happening I sit down to read the Constitution I didn't realize that was a lot of stuff reading but most of the things people are fighting about today

is solved in the Constitution you hold people accountable yes the problem is we're not holding our elected official accountable not just in Washington but local officials as well we're not holding them accountable we just let them go with things they tell you things that's not real and then now you got the media involved where now that's one of me may get you quiet if they don't like what you say well we we have rights and you know when the people decide you know what guys i don't want this no more because i'm gonna blame us some too because we go to vote we vote for the same person rather than looking at what that person has done no if he hasn't done anything don't vote for him get him out of office you have to put people in office that's going to believe in this country that's going to believe in what this country stands for and that's when we're going to be having a change you know there are some people they've elected into office that i totally totally disagree with them because they say some really crazy things but what i do say is that there's something different.

That's something different.

But you know what?

If people still believe in that, that's okay to vote for them.

But sooner or later, people are smart.

People are not dumb.

I think people, you take people as they're being not that smart.

People are very smart.

They know what's going on.

Look at the gas prices.

Look at the food that's going up.

And you're going to tell me that people don't notice that?

You know, the pipeline.

Let's get to the pipeline.

It is so funny because all in these debates, all you heard of Biden said, oh, no, no, no.

First thing he did was get rid of the pipeline.

Now we have to depend on someone else for our energy when we can be self-efficient for ourselves.

And if they remember one thing, the people got to remember this.

During this pandemic, we had to go to other countries for things.

And also in these countries, decide they don't want to help us.

So we have to take care of ourselves first.

Not saying we're not compassionate because we are.

But we've got to take care of self first.

And until we start doing that, we're not going to have a country or we're not not going to have good people.

But I know Americans like that.

They want to take care of themselves.

And they also want to tell people we need jails.

If you're a criminal, you're a criminal.

I'm going to tell you what.

There are some people out there that's not going to do right no matter what.

I have family members like that.

But that's the way life is.

But I said, we have to determine law and order.

We have to determine what's right and what's wrong.

And right now, what's going on in this country is wrong.

Okay.

Let me take a quick one-minute break and then I'm back with Herschel Walker, who's running for Senate in Georgia.

You can join his team, teamherschel.com.

TeamHerschel.com to find out more and to help him win the Senate seat in Georgia.

We're with Herschel Walker, who is running for Senate.

Herschel, we are at a point in our nation

where

it's going to look very, very different in two years from now.

Very different on all fronts.

What is the thing that you feel

Georgians in particular need to know?

What is the most vital thing that you think they need to know?

Well, you just said it, that if they don't get on board or they don't become vigilant and start educating themselves, the state of Georgia is going to look very different.

It's not going to be a state they recognize as Georgia.

And I said it early on and people thought I was crazy.

You don't want the government raising your child.

But that's what they want to do right now.

The government is trying to raise your kids.

Yeah.

And they're no longer hiding it.

They used to say, oh, no, that's ridiculous.

But now,

Terry McCullough, and Stu, look up his approval ratings.

Will you see where that race stands?

Running for re-election as the governor of Georgia came out, what, two days ago and said, I'm not having the parents tell us what we can and can't teach the children.

And that's what's insulting.

They're teaching the children to hate America, and we're standing for it.

We're standing by saying, let's erase history.

We don't want to teach them

about spelling or about arithmetic, about history.

You know, guys, let's not erase history.

History is history.

Let's not create our own history.

Today, it's sort of like, remember, they want to create a new national anthem.

They want to create a new flag.

This is United States of America flag.

This is United States of America national anthem.

And if they want a new country,

so be it.

But I want to be an American.

And then that's another thing.

I said, guys, everybody want to relate it to color.

Do people not know that in today's world, we're all mutts.

In today's world, this 23andMe has totally screwed people up.

You don't know what you are today, and it really doesn't matter.

What matters is you're an American.

What matters is that's what you need to be fighting for.

Not talking about where you used to be or where your ancestor used to be.

Wherever they were at, I guarantee they'll love to be where we're at today.

It's weird because when you look into, I have a friend from the United Kingdom that works for me, he's Scottish, and

the way

Europe worked, the one we broke away from, it matters about where your family came from.

Yes.

It matters a great deal.

It matters what your accent is.

It will keep you in place.

Yes.

We're not like that.

But somehow or another, to gain more freedom, we're turning into those people.

We're turning into, no,

your ancestors will dictate what you are today.

That is insanity.

That is totally insanity.

And that's what people don't realize.

And that's why I want to wake people up.

But you can't wake them up unless you give them the truth.

You know, what you're seeing now, and what's sad, you know, I grew up in rural Georgia.

I grew up in a small town in Georgia.

People work extremely hard.

They work and they come home.

They may watch one station of news on the TV, then they go to sleep.

Well, today, this station is giving them things of an opinion, not even giving them the news.

So they go to sleep assuming what that person said is true.

When that person just gave their opinion, they're not even giving them the true facts.

So now you're getting into an argument with your family member.

Wait a minute, that's not the truth.

And then you have to educate them.

And then they have to go read.

So it's like, guys, we have to start learning a lot of this stuff on our own.

We can't trust some things we hear.

And I said, that's what's sad is in Washington, we can't trust our elected officials to tell you the truth.

Where do we get that we're going to elect people that go to Washington and going to just bring up things and just say whatever they think is going to make them get elected for the next go-round?

Well, I don't believe in that.

What do you think about what happened in Afghanistan and the

hearings this week?

You know, I've been for the last 15 years, I've been going to a military base.

Almost every three weeks, I've been in a military base.

The worst thing that happened is for us to give our word to friends that, you know, that helped us out in war.

And not only that, we left American over there.

Take the military out.

Now, who in their right mind said, okay, I want the Americans, we got to get out of Afghanistan.

We're going to take the soldiers out first.

That's insane.

You know, and then we're going to trust people that don't like this country.

And I'm going to let some of the people in Washington know something.

I've had the opportunity to travel all over the world.

A A lot of these countries don't like us.

I don't know if they know that.

They may not know that.

A lot of these countries don't like America because we have all these freedoms.

They see us with all the freedoms.

They don't like us.

And yet we're trying to turn it to them.

So, you know what?

They'll like to hurt Americans.

Do we not get it?

They also, I mean, in the Taliban, what's crazy is these are religious.

crazy people and we're trying to teach them that they're 96 genders that's not going to help our likability.

It's not going to help at all.

And that's what we don't.

And I'm not sure whether we're trying to teach that or whether they're just trying to show.

I'm not sure what's going on.

But what happened in Afghanistan

would put a stain on this country for a long, long time.

And no one seemed to want to address it anymore.

This is what's funny.

People are still dying today in Afghanistan.

We're not talking about it.

I know.

Deaf people still running for their lives.

There's moms and daughters and sons and fathers.

They're running for their lives trying to hide in Afghanistan because they're being killed.

But let's not talk about it.

There is a plane that

had,

I don't have the numbers right in front of me, I'll have to get them, but about 100 Americans on it,

had

green card visa holders

and had some of these people that had already been vetted.

The government, it landed in the UAE.

It was taking off.

It was going to land in New York, halfway across the ocean.

The United States State Department said, can't land there.

You have to land in Dulles.

Okay, so they're going to land in Dulles.

Then they start flying towards Dulles, and the State Department says, you can't land in America at all.

Got to go back.

Those were Americans.

Yes, but you know what?

That was foreigners on that plane that could have landed.

We got to be nice.

And I'm not making a joke.

That is the way we become now.

That we glorify illegals and demonize people that are doing the right thing that lives in America.

Same thing they do with our police department.

Let's

make criminals heroes, but the police, they're demons.

They're terrible.
