Summary

The last few weeks have been some trying times in our nation, to say the least. I wanted to bring two former guests on with as relevant of a perspective as I could think of to both shed some light from their perspective as well as give mine, while having a healthy and necessary discussion. This episode I had the honor of having former SEAL Remi Adeleke and former Army Ranger Nick Irving discuss all things race-related for our country. I hope that those who listen, do so you understand and not respond or confirm. Starting by respecting one another, and truly trying to understand the others perspective is the key to moving forward and coming together.

Waterford is the home of firsts. In 914 it became the first ever city in

Ireland when Viking settlers saw it as an opportune location and they were

right. Today it's seen as one of the best places to live in Ireland so when

0:13.7

you think of prime locations for rapid growth think like the Vikings. Think

first for a young and educated population, well-connected infrastructure,

When I watch that guy put his knee on the guy's neck to having not known

1:07.2

either one of them having not seen any any other aspect of it than just that

taking place and say that cop is racist. How do you know he's racist? I think

what America has come to it's it's it's true petty nature of well I'm just

1:41.2
