Summary

Last week on the podcast, Mike talked to Greg Anderson about his background and military service - after a turn as an Army Ranger with 14 overseas deployments and some additional work in private contracting, Greg stepped into law enforcement as a U.S. Marshall, and later a Police Officer for the Port of Seattle in Washington. All of these moments are things that would define anybody else's biography - soldier, contractor, Marshall, officer, and even Jiu-Jitsu gym owner would all be enough for an already outstanding life. But for Greg, it's all background for one particular day on the job - when he published an Instagram video of a fiery defiance of unconstitutional lockdown orders from inside the very squad car he served the public from every day.

0:00.0	I literally said,
0:03.0	you have to be willing to lose your job as a police officer to stand up and be on the side of right.
0:10.0	You know, as a police officer, I'm compelled to make this video. I've been law enforcement pretending.
0:14.0	I've been directed to tell you you got to pull that video down.

0:39.0	It got to the point where it's like a lot of people will start to come to the conclusion.
0:43.0	It's like, why are we doing this?
0:44.0	Why am I waking up and putting on the vest and hitting the streets and doing the job when nobody really cares about it anymore?
0:57.0	Welcome to Mic Drop. The podcast where relevancy is irrelevant and we don't give a shit about your feelings.

1:26.0	Oh, no shit. So you're like, fucking game changer.

1:34.0	Yes, so we need to talk.
1:35.0	No, so she said to me, she goes, in man, she was a rock star.
