Yeah.

And I was like, "Well, that's all God's doing." And I knew God probably was like, "Okay, dude, if you're gonna go do this career field for the next 20 years, you're going the Marine Corps first to get some serious discipline instilled into you." And the Marine Corps is exactly what I needed.

Um, that I, I truly believe to this day is the most disciplined branch, um, out there.

They, they are who they are, and, um, I thrived in that environment.

Um, you know, just the way they...

You know, getting up at 5:00 AM every day, PT, like all that stuff.

I, I needed that, but I, I loved it.

... what's keeping you disciplined in that regard?

America, if you will.

Yeah.

Reputations are everything in the team.

So you're like, okay, I know this guy's popular.

I want this guy.

I want this guy.

But that's really unfair to do.

And then they were like,

Did he know, did he expect that you would find out about that letter or was it done in secrecy?

No, it was not done in secrecy.

As a matter of fact, when we found out, when my wife and brother found out he was writing that second letter, they messaged him and said, please do not do this letter.

Do not send it in because it's distracting from the other letter the other 50 congressmen signed.

And Dan did not listen to them.

He did it anyways, submitted it, and It ended up not working.

The original letter the 50 congressman signed worked.

Can you tell that story?

Did he know? Did he expect that you would find out about that letter? Was it done in secrecy?

no it was not done in secrecy as a matter of fact when we found out when my wife and brother found out he was writing that second letter they uh messaged him and said please do not uh do this letter do not uh send it in because it's distracting from the other letter the other 50 congressmen signed and dan did not listen to them he did he did it anyways uh submitted it and it ended up not working.

Uh, the original letter, the 50 Congressman signed worked.

Um, I was released from prison.

And at that point we decided to write Dan Crenshaw off.

We were like, we're no longer going to ask him for help.

Um, and so we continued on.

Can you tell that story?

... best-

Um, so I think, and I, I think this, you know, I, I give this advice to people every once in a while and, you know, my wife gives it to me all the time, is, you know, instead of be looking on your phone, like, see what's in front of you.

Like, do things in your community that make a difference.

Go out and talk to people in your community.

Talk to your neighbors.

Join some kinda group that gives you purpose, that serves your community in some, in some form or fashion.

I was like, you'll see then, like, no there's not that much hatred out there.

Oh, God.

Yeah.

It's like now their voice is more powerful, and I think that's what we're seeing with Charlie Kirk.

You know, you, you took him out, but you've made his voice that much stronger, and his voice was God's voice.

It was...

You know, he was a man of faith.

Uh, that's what he preached.

That's what he wanted to be remembered by.

... best.
