What's going on everybody this episode the Dear America podcast is brought to you by our good friends at black rifle coffee.

I love Evan Matt Jared all those guys I've known them for over six years now and they just went public there that they're doing amazing things and every single day they're giving hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars a year to veterans.

They also just double down on Joe Rogan's budget really supporting the first amendment and free speech and I appreciate that some people got some beef of black rifle.

I don't care. They're good friends to me and this entire country is based around not everybody thinking the same way that you do and here's what I know they've been loyal to me.

I'm going to be loyal to them. They're a great group of guys they're doing stuff for the military community and their coffee is amazing. It really is it actually really is good.

They're ready to drink coffee is what gets me through the day every single day and that is the truth.

So support a military owned coffee company that has actually made it and everybody is a hater because they're not them but we love those guys and we're thankful for them their friendship and now their sponsorship on the podcast go to black rifle coffee dot com today.
