I'm not a Pete Hig Seth fan.

But the warrior ethos is actually at the heart of the infantry. And not just the infantry, but armor and artillery, you've got to be, and you remember it, you know, during your combat deployments, you've got to be in a completely different headspace. And that headspace is the most competitive alpha. I'm getting out there and I'm going to find, I will find and kill the enemy.

That is what your job is to do.

And doing that, make sure that the people around you are safe.

So when you see that type of thing in ICE and that type of rhetoric or any law enforcement

Yeah. the fuck welcome to to independent Americans Welcome to episode 444.

I'm your host, Paul Reikoff, and I am coming to you today, if you're watching on YouTube, you can see behind me from beautiful Tampa Bay, Florida, USA, where the weather is sunny and 80.

Hooray!

It is Wednesday, February 18th. I am here in Tampa Bay because it is winter

break for my boys. They have no school and we are sick of living under the frozen tundra of the

Northeast. We got down here for a couple days to thaw our brains and our bodies and our souls and

to catch the Yankees in a couple of spring training games

and to get a bit of a break.

But we are continuing to bring this show to you.

And we are gonna continue to bring you

all the things that you love about this show

and a very, very important conversation.

I told you, I would pick a different musical artist

to introduce my boys to every day.

And since I'm in Florida, today's artist is Flo Rida. Who else? Right? He's saying, good feeling, which is something I want to share with you today because we need it in this brutal winter that we're all going through. And, of course, my house, which you'll hear at just about every sporting event on the planet. But Floraida brings energy, and we're going to try to do the same today and bring you the

five eyes that I bring you at every show, Independence, Integrity, Information, Inspiration, and Impact.
