[00:00:04] uh [00:00:22] hey what's going on everybody just gonna [00:00:24] do a quick live uh about a little bit of [00:00:27] a recap about last year and then some of [00:00:29] the stuff that we've got coming on for [00:00:32] 2022. [00:00:35] just want to say [00:00:37] holy [ __ ] [00:00:38] what a year we had last year we moved [00:00:42] we moved the sean ryan show from a small [00:00:45] room [00:00:46] in my attic [00:00:47] into uh we finally got our own [00:00:49] commercial space uh set up a studio it's [00:00:53] right upstairs there that's the the room [00:00:55] that you guys all know [00:00:57] and i just want to say [00:00:59] for starters [00:01:00] you guys are awesome so [00:01:03] this whole [00:01:04] sean ryan show podcast show whatever you [00:01:07] want to call it [00:01:08] kind of started off as just uh [00:01:10] off the whim [00:01:12] idea you know we started it with mike [00:01:14] glover almost two years ago exactly [00:01:17] and um [00:01:19] i really had no expectations [00:01:22] on on what it's going to turn into and [00:01:24] now we're we're consistently top 50 in [00:01:28] society and culture on itunes which is i [00:01:31] believe the second biggest uh [00:01:34] category [00:01:35] in [00:01:36] in [00:01:37] in the podcast world and many of our [00:01:41] shows have hit the top 200 out of [00:01:45] out of all podcasts which is [00:01:48] which [00:01:48] is well over a million podcasts now so [00:01:52] um that's that's insane and we've done [00:01:55] it in 17 episodes so [00:01:58] uh that's that's just that's that's [00:02:00] unheard of so [00:02:02] uh that's all cause of you guys and i [00:02:04] just want to say [00:02:05] um [00:02:07] thank you it's truly humbling [00:02:09] and um it's a real it's just a real [00:02:12] pleasure to be able to [00:02:14] to bring these stories and and these and [00:02:17] and newsworthy stuff and backstories and [00:02:20] everything that we've been covering on [00:02:21] the show it's just been a real honor to [00:02:23] to bring it to you guys and be the one [00:02:25] that you trust [00:02:27] uh to give you you know some of the best [00:02:29] content out there in my opinion it's [00:02:31] some of the best content out there and [00:02:33] um [00:02:34] and uh so if you're subscribed if you're [00:02:36] watching [00:02:38] whether you agree whether you don't [00:02:40] agree with some of the stuff we say some [00:02:42] of it's controversial some it's just [00:02:43] back stories and uh but i think it's all [00:02:46] important [00:02:48] and i just want to thank you for being [00:02:50] here [00:02:50] for liking the videos for commenting for [00:02:53] subscribing for sharing them and for [00:02:55] listening you know um [00:02:58] we've uh we've helped a lot of [00:03:00] a lot of veterans uh [00:03:03] build massive businesses and and help [00:03:07] jump start their their civilian careers [00:03:10] uh outside of the military and that's [00:03:12] that's huge that's phenomenal stuff that [00:03:14] we're doing and it's making a difference [00:03:16] for a lot of people a lot of non-profits [00:03:19] a lot of for-profits a lot of people [00:03:21] that wouldn't normally be heard [00:03:23] um [00:03:25] are being heard now on this show and [00:03:27] it's just it's it's been awesome man it [00:03:29] really has [00:03:30] so thank you if it wasn't for you guys [00:03:34] none of this stuff will be happening [00:03:36] none of it nobody'd be listening [00:03:38] nobody'd hear these stories [00:03:40] and uh so it's all you guys so i just [00:03:42] want to start off by saying [00:03:44] thank you [00:03:45] for that [00:03:46] and and same with the studio you know [00:03:49] like i said [00:03:50] we started it in a small room in my in [00:03:53] the attic of my [00:03:54] my home [00:03:56] and uh [00:03:57] and now [00:03:59] now we have an entire uh several [00:04:01] different studio spaces [00:04:03] to use we got one to the left here that [00:04:05] we're probably going to start using here [00:04:07] before too long uh which you guys can't [00:04:09] see we got this one which is kind of [00:04:12] uh was the first makeshift one that we [00:04:14] did and then we have the [00:04:16] the build out upstairs with all the new [00:04:19] decor and we really made it you know [00:04:21] kind of a one-of-a-kind space [00:04:24] that [00:04:25] makes people comfortable to [00:04:27] to share what's on their mind share [00:04:28] their backstory share their [00:04:31] opinions whatever whatever it is we're [00:04:33] covering [00:04:34] so [00:04:35] um [00:04:36] it was [00:04:37] we spent the last two years [00:04:40] going back and forth on some things we [00:04:42] tried a couple of things on [00:04:44] some of them fit [00:04:45] but i didn't like it so we [ __ ] can the [00:04:47] ideas some of them didn't fit we should [00:04:50] can those ideas i think uh we found our [00:04:52] niche here and our niche is the show so [00:04:56] kind of crazy that this all started from [00:04:59] from uh doing [00:05:02] gun reviews and tactics videos it's it's [00:05:04] weird to think that [00:05:07] that's [00:05:08] what this channel used to be all about [00:05:10] but now uh it's just growing so much [00:05:13] more and and it's a lot more [00:05:14] sophisticated than [00:05:16] than some of that kind of stuff which [00:05:18] not it's still cool to do that stuff a [00:05:21] lot of that stuff's over on patreon but [00:05:23] this just means more than [00:05:25] than reviewing you know the latest glock [00:05:28] model [00:05:29] so uh so again thank you [00:05:32] so moving on in 2022 [00:05:35] sorry i got notes i'm not a public [00:05:38] speaker and uh i have [00:05:41] i have uh [00:05:42] no aspirations to be one [00:05:44] so [00:05:45] so i just got some notes here so [00:05:48] uh some of the things that i'm gonna do [00:05:49] in 2022 [00:05:51] not much is going to change other than [00:05:53] concentrate more on this show [00:05:55] like i said this is our bread and butter [00:05:57] now this is what i do [00:05:58] and i'm going to stick with it and hit [00:06:00] it hard [00:06:01] um [00:06:03] one thing that i want to start doing is [00:06:06] one of my goals is to focus more on [00:06:09] factual information and less on opinions [00:06:13] and i think that's something that the [00:06:14] media [00:06:16] maybe should take note of as well [00:06:18] because it is it's hard to find factual [00:06:20] information now [00:06:21] and and and [00:06:23] it's it's even getting a little harder [00:06:25] to decipher between factual information [00:06:28] and [00:06:29] and uh in opinions so [00:06:32] i'm gonna start leaving my opinion out [00:06:35] of it i've kind of done that i've done a [00:06:37] decent job of that on youtube uh i'm [00:06:40] gonna work on it more on some of the [00:06:42] other social media platforms i will give [00:06:44] my opinion on uh for our patrons when [00:06:47] they ask and the reason that i want to [00:06:49] do that is not that i don't think [00:06:51] opinions are necessarily important [00:06:53] but there's so much influence on [00:06:55] opinions now and not enough on fact [00:06:59] that i think that's something that just [00:07:01] it's it's [00:07:02] everybody's dropping the ball on that [00:07:05] and um [00:07:06] and it's turned a lot of viewers off [00:07:09] it's it's brought in some new ones but [00:07:11] i'm not trying to create an echo chamber [00:07:13] here i'm i want to get stories out and [00:07:16] and uh by inserting my opinion [00:07:20] into certain stories that maybe normally [00:07:21] would have been heard by another [00:07:23] audience just because they don't agree [00:07:24] with my opinion means they're not gonna [00:07:26] they're not gonna watch it and [00:07:28] and really to be honest my opinion [00:07:30] doesn't mean [ __ ] and and uh [00:07:33] so [00:07:34] so i'm gonna start trying to leave it [00:07:35] out more and um [00:07:37] that's kind of my goal this year [00:07:40] so [00:07:41] one of my goals [00:07:43] but i want to start moving the channel [00:07:46] into [00:07:47] reporting [00:07:48] so this all kind of started i think [00:07:51] it was as you guys know it was [00:07:53] backstories it was glover kennedy [00:07:57] um [00:07:58] travis house mike ritland [00:08:01] and all the everybody up to ed calderon [00:08:04] when we hit ed calderon the channel kind [00:08:06] of took a hard turn because that was [00:08:08] that was the beginning of actual factual [00:08:11] information [00:08:12] that was taking place [00:08:14] south of the border we covered some of [00:08:16] the riot stuff that was going on back in [00:08:18] 2020 [00:08:19] and uh that's when the channel really [00:08:22] started to kind of make a turn uh in my [00:08:24] opinion for the better kind of funny i [00:08:27] just said i would leave my opinions out [00:08:28] right but uh [00:08:30] it kind of started to turn and and for [00:08:32] the better there and then we got eddie [00:08:34] gallagher which was backstory both the [00:08:37] backstory and factual information [00:08:40] and [00:08:41] and honestly the biggest story that i [00:08:43] think came out of last year [00:08:46] uh for me [00:08:47] and probably the thing that i'm most [00:08:49] proud of doing um up to this point is [00:08:52] the blackwater massacre episode [00:08:54] and i think we did a a phenomenal job of [00:08:58] leaving [00:08:59] all opinions [00:09:01] at the door [00:09:02] and all feelings at the door and just [00:09:04] presenting factual information [00:09:06] and that was just that was really and i [00:09:10] think that was really well done we [00:09:12] brought in uh gina keating who who is an [00:09:15] investigative reporter uh that does [00:09:18] think a little different than most of [00:09:19] this audience she's she leans more left [00:09:22] and that's fine because what she brought [00:09:24] to the table uh if it wasn't for her [00:09:26] being on the show [00:09:28] and and presenting all the all the the [00:09:31] evidence and research that she's done [00:09:34] that wouldn't have been half half of the [00:09:36] that wouldn't had half of the [00:09:38] information and [00:09:39] even even less than half [00:09:42] that it did and um so i want to start [00:09:44] going into more of that kind of stuff [00:09:46] then we had uh we had luis chaparro [00:09:50] i think that's i always struggle with [00:09:52] those rolling r's but um you know [00:09:55] another guy we don't we're not on the [00:09:57] same lines politically and that's fine [00:09:59] you know and he brought in actual [00:10:01] factual information both of us left [00:10:04] opinions at the door and i think that [00:10:06] was a great show uh that that [00:10:10] brought a lot of light of what's going [00:10:11] on down in mexico we had ed again on on [00:10:14] on the border crisis that was going on [00:10:17] again i answered a little opinion there [00:10:19] but most of that was [00:10:21] most of that was just fact and uh and [00:10:23] that's kind of where i want to go and so [00:10:25] what i'm seeing [00:10:27] is the media doing more and more and [00:10:29] more [00:10:29] uh [00:10:31] you know basically [ __ ] opinion type [00:10:33] stuff and they're getting everybody [00:10:35] riled up [00:10:36] and nobody's really covering actual [00:10:39] facts other than [00:10:41] you know i don't want to watch much tv [00:10:42] but but we do that here and i want to [00:10:45] continue to do that here and i'm not [00:10:47] trying to get people riled up i'm trying [00:10:50] to get people to see [00:10:51] the truth about some of the stuff that's [00:10:53] going on in the world [00:10:55] and and back to the blackwater thing you [00:10:57] know the media everybody in the media [00:11:00] painted those guys out to be basically [00:11:03] [ __ ] mass murderers and [00:11:05] turns out they weren't and anybody that [00:11:08] actually dug into some of the facts and [00:11:10] stuff that we put at the bottom of those [00:11:12] videos [00:11:13] you can see that you know same hal [00:11:15] grimson you know we put his awards down [00:11:18] there we we got it from the horse's [00:11:20] mouth and uh and that's that's what i [00:11:23] want to do i want to start getting it [00:11:25] you know from the horse's mouth instead [00:11:26] of talking to [00:11:28] you know somebody about their opinion on [00:11:30] what's going on with the what the beef [00:11:32] price is raising we went to a local [00:11:34] farmer [00:11:35] instead of listening to all the [ __ ] [00:11:37] resident experts and da da da da we went [00:11:40] straight to a farmer and we wanted to [00:11:42] know what the hell was going on and we [00:11:44] got it and then we did it again with [00:11:46] john miller on the supply chain crisis [00:11:49] and instead of listening to all these [00:11:51] talking heads in the media we went [00:11:53] straight to somebody that knows actually [00:11:55] what the hell is going on and we're [00:11:57] getting ready to do it again [00:11:58] with the power grid i think the power [00:12:00] grid is something that a lot of people [00:12:02] are very concerned about it's over 50 [00:12:04] years outdated if i remember correctly [00:12:06] and so [00:12:07] uh one of the what we're going to do is [00:12:09] we're bringing on one of our patrons [00:12:11] who's been a lineman for i believe 20 [00:12:14] years working on the power grid [00:12:17] and so we're going to get you know how [00:12:19] old is the power grid how outdated is it [00:12:22] does electric cars actually do anything [00:12:24] to reduce the carbon footprint all that [00:12:25] kind of stuff we're going to talk to [00:12:27] somebody that actually knows what the [00:12:28] hell they're talking about instead of [00:12:30] some [00:12:31] talking head [00:12:33] on the news [00:12:34] and we're going to continue to go down [00:12:36] that road another thing that i really [00:12:39] that i [00:12:40] the topic that i'm most interested to [00:12:43] cover this year [00:12:44] is china [00:12:46] um [00:12:47] we're going to start talking about [00:12:51] what communism looks like over there [00:12:53] we're going to talk about the threat uh [00:12:55] the chinese threat that that's that [00:12:57] the possible china threat uh to the [00:13:00] united states and the rest of the world [00:13:02] and just [00:13:02] and just kind of dissect some of these [00:13:04] issues that are going on with the supply [00:13:06] chain with the with the lithium with the [00:13:09] computer chip with taiwan [00:13:11] um you guys know the list just goes with [00:13:13] manufacturing [00:13:15] all these things that just keep going [00:13:17] going going the list goes on we're going [00:13:18] to start diving into them and so one [00:13:21] thing that i'm looking into [00:13:23] and and i'm having a little bit of a [00:13:25] problem finding them is resident experts [00:13:28] on china we have we have a handful [00:13:31] uh that said they're ready to come on [00:13:33] the show but we don't have any solid [00:13:35] dates yet so if you guys have anybody [00:13:38] who's a no [ __ ] resident expert on [00:13:41] china first hand knowledge is the best [00:13:45] email it in go to the website email it [00:13:48] in and we will reach out so that's that [00:13:51] is a major topic of the session that [00:13:53] that i want to cover this year uh [00:13:55] probably several different times um [00:13:59] so that's going to happen [00:14:01] like i said back to the media i can't [00:14:03] even look at it barely anymore you know [00:14:05] it's so phony every time i pull it up [00:14:08] most of the time i'm just reading [00:14:09] headlines to be honest but you know you [00:14:12] pull the media up like today first thing [00:14:14] i look at today when i pull up uh when i [00:14:17] start looking at media posts [00:14:19] is i see all these people posting a [00:14:21] picture of jeff bezos [00:14:23] having like a cocktail or something and [00:14:26] he doesn't have a mask on and the person [00:14:28] serving them has a mask on it guess what [00:14:30] everybody gets riled up about that [ __ ] [00:14:33] oh [00:14:33] rules for thee and not for me [00:14:36] yeah that's great and i get it i [00:14:38] understand where you're coming from [00:14:40] because be honest it triggered me at [00:14:41] first too then if you think about it [00:14:44] you know and i can't speak for everyone [00:14:46] but i'm speaking for myself [00:14:49] anywhere i go i live in you know middle [00:14:52] tennessee any restaurant i go to they're [00:14:55] still wearing masks and i would say [00:14:57] probably at least 75 of the the the [00:15:01] customers in these restaurants aren't [00:15:03] wearing masks so that [00:15:05] photo [00:15:06] is [ __ ] that is only meant to [00:15:09] trigger you it makes it look like he's [00:15:13] living by a different set of rules maybe [00:15:14] he is maybe he isn't but i can tell you [00:15:16] that that photo could have been taken of [00:15:19] me or any one of my friends or damn [00:15:23] probably 75 of the population in middle [00:15:26] tennessee at a restaurant who's not [00:15:29] wearing a mask who's being served by [00:15:31] somebody in the hospitality industry [00:15:33] who's wearing a mask it's [ __ ] you [00:15:36] guys are let me too we're all letting [00:15:38] this [ __ ] get to us [00:15:40] and we shouldn't be that's just [00:15:43] that's just it's garbage the media is [00:15:45] just putting out garbage [00:15:47] non-stop and and we're all buying into [00:15:50] it and that's that's very unfortunate so [00:15:54] i kind of like i said i kind of fell [00:15:56] into this [00:15:57] podcast show thing [00:15:59] then i kind of fell into the newsworthy [00:16:01] stuff [00:16:02] and uh and i'm gonna go down that road [00:16:05] and start leaving my opinion out of it [00:16:07] and just presenting facts [00:16:09] and or the resident expert you know i [00:16:11] can't say it's all going to be facts [00:16:13] because [00:16:14] a lot of people do have opinions but the [00:16:16] guests you know i'm sure they're going [00:16:17] to have opinions and [00:16:20] we'll be able to hear that but you'll be [00:16:21] able to decipher you know this is [00:16:23] opinion this is fact [00:16:25] and [00:16:25] and and that's important so [00:16:29] that's kind of uh [00:16:30] where the show's headed we're also uh [00:16:33] i'm getting ready to take this show on [00:16:34] the road i'm hesitant to say this [00:16:36] especially with all the [00:16:38] with the travel restrictions with the [00:16:40] with the [00:16:41] you know the covid stuff [00:16:43] with [00:16:45] nothing's 100 sure anymore but i can [00:16:48] tell you this is where what i'm planning [00:16:50] on doing [00:16:51] so [00:16:51] most of you know ed calderon [00:16:54] i've been we've done [00:16:55] a slew of content with ed me and ed work [00:16:59] very well together we get along we have [00:17:02] mutual respect for each other so we [00:17:04] don't get in each other's way [00:17:06] and um i've been talking to ed about [00:17:08] doing [00:17:09] uh some documentary type stuff [00:17:13] uh for [00:17:14] about the last almost last year [00:17:17] and so [00:17:18] as of right now i'm heading down to [00:17:21] an undisclosed location [00:17:24] down in mexico [00:17:25] you patrons you know where that is [00:17:28] but i'll be heading down to [00:17:30] mexico later this year [00:17:33] uh coming up actually and we're gonna [00:17:36] start covering some of this narco stuff [00:17:38] real time [00:17:40] uh basically kind of the plan right now [00:17:43] is to [00:17:44] jump in with [00:17:46] a uh investigative reporter [00:17:49] and we'll be going to all these [00:17:50] different these aftermath places where [00:17:52] the cartels have hit uh whether it's [00:17:55] been a gun fight whether it's been just [00:17:57] a straight up assassination no matter [00:17:59] what it is [00:18:00] uh [00:18:01] our plan is to get there [00:18:03] and cover what the hell these people are [00:18:05] doing and uh and to bring you some real [00:18:08] news [00:18:09] about [00:18:10] what's going on down there on the border [00:18:13] south of the border what's coming into [00:18:15] the u.s all that kind of stuff so i [00:18:18] think that's important i'm sick and [00:18:20] [ __ ] tired of watching politicians [00:18:23] and news anchors [00:18:25] they act like they go down there and [00:18:26] they see what's going on in the border [00:18:28] and what do we all see we just see some [00:18:30] [ __ ] chump [00:18:32] walking the border [00:18:34] and they're not even they're not even [00:18:35] talking about anything that nobody [00:18:37] already [00:18:37] that nobody doesn't already know about [00:18:40] i'm tired of that it's [ __ ] [00:18:42] i'm tired of looking at him i'm tired of [00:18:44] listening to him uh so we're gonna get [00:18:46] in there and we're gonna get our hands [00:18:47] dirty and we're gonna bring you uh some [00:18:50] real information with that being said i [00:18:52] don't know how that's gonna turn out [00:18:53] i've never done anything like that [00:18:56] before [00:18:57] and filmed it i mean obviously i was a [00:18:59] seal i would say i have done all kinds [00:19:00] of [00:19:02] raids and whatever i've been in a lot of [00:19:04] different dangerous situations i've [00:19:05] never been the guy behind the camera or [00:19:07] trying to commentate exactly what the [00:19:09] hell is going on [00:19:11] so i don't know could wind up being a [00:19:13] total disaster [00:19:15] uh it could wind up that we don't even [00:19:17] see anything [00:19:18] but [00:19:19] we're going down we're going to give it [00:19:21] a try [00:19:22] and um [00:19:24] and uh and we're gonna post it here on [00:19:26] youtube and if it's too graphic [00:19:29] then that's going over to our to our top [00:19:31] supporters which is patreon um so where [00:19:34] all the rest of the behind the scenes [00:19:36] type stuff goes and we don't get any [00:19:39] type of censorship there so um [00:19:42] which to be honest you know i'm not [00:19:43] saying i'm not saying that i'm getting [00:19:45] censored because yeah i think i went [00:19:47] through spells where maybe that was [00:19:49] happening but to be honest i'm pretty [00:19:51] happy with the engagement and the view [00:19:53] count that we have on almost all of the [00:19:56] shows [00:19:57] and um [00:19:58] and [00:19:59] the kind of stuff that we're going to be [00:20:00] covering down there [00:20:02] you know it is going to be graphic you [00:20:04] know if everything goes as planned it's [00:20:05] going to be extremely graphic and to be [00:20:08] honest you know i have a kid now he's [00:20:10] three months old i wouldn't want my kids [00:20:12] seeing exactly everything that's going [00:20:14] on down there either on a platform you [00:20:17] know that anybody can just pull stuff up [00:20:19] and watch so [00:20:21] um [00:20:22] but the meat of it will definitely be [00:20:24] down there and we do have contingency [00:20:27] plans if nothing does happen [00:20:29] uh [00:20:30] down there which ed is basically saying [00:20:33] that [00:20:34] there's that's not gonna happen [00:20:36] but uh if that doesn't happen then [00:20:38] there's guess what there's all kinds of [00:20:41] other stuff going on in mexico like the [00:20:43] migrant camps [00:20:44] um how people are smuggling smuggling [00:20:47] things in smuggling routes all that kind [00:20:49] of stuff is down there and uh we'll be [00:20:51] able to cover that you know instead of [00:20:53] the narcos stuff if if we don't see [00:20:55] anything so [00:20:56] um that's a big thing i don't think [00:20:59] that's going to be an ongoing [00:21:01] event that i do who knows so maybe i'll [00:21:03] really like it totally change focus [00:21:05] but um [00:21:06] but uh that's what we're doing [00:21:09] so [00:21:10] also with the resident experts you know [00:21:13] i spent before now i spent a ton of time [00:21:17] researching [00:21:19] every guest and i think a lot of that [00:21:21] comes from [00:21:22] i'm being i'm a perfectionist [00:21:25] so i want to give the best interview [00:21:27] that that any anybody that comes here is [00:21:29] ever going to get and i still want to [00:21:31] continue to do that however with some of [00:21:34] these when we get into some of the [00:21:35] resident experts like china like [00:21:38] um the narco stuff [00:21:41] anything what you know [00:21:43] i'm going to cut down a little bit on [00:21:45] the research and just give the mic to [00:21:47] the resident expert which is kind of [00:21:49] what i started doing towards the end of [00:21:51] the year [00:21:52] and i just want to draw the information [00:21:54] out of them i don't need to be [00:21:56] the resident expert on everything from [00:21:58] the power grid to the supply chain to [00:22:00] the afghanistan pull out to the china [00:22:02] threat to the lithium batteries and all [00:22:04] that i just need people who are the [00:22:07] experts to give us the information who [00:22:09] have first-hand knowledge not just some [00:22:11] chump you know who's running around [00:22:13] trying to get a bunch of exposure and uh [00:22:16] i don't care [00:22:17] what their following is i don't care [00:22:20] what their media presence is i don't [00:22:22] care [00:22:23] who they are all i care about is their [00:22:25] experience that it's factual information [00:22:28] and uh [00:22:29] and and first-hand knowledge so that [00:22:32] could be [00:22:33] i don't even care if i have social media [00:22:35] that's not why i'm doing this why i'm [00:22:36] doing this is to educate [00:22:39] not only the american people but the [00:22:41] world on [00:22:42] on some of the stuff that's going on [00:22:44] because it's just not being covered [00:22:46] so [00:22:48] um [00:22:55] with that being said [00:22:57] i know you guys love the operators [00:22:59] dj shipley that was the fastest growing [00:23:02] episode that we've ever produced uh it's [00:23:05] probably going to hit a million views by [00:23:07] the end of the month which is [00:23:09] that's huge that's fast that's that's a [00:23:11] fast grower and um and i know you guys [00:23:14] love those [00:23:15] those stories and those backstories [00:23:18] we're going to continue to bring them [00:23:20] we're just going to diversify a little [00:23:21] bit with the more new stuff [00:23:23] more news [00:23:26] a little bit less operators with that [00:23:28] being said we have some [00:23:31] some monsters that are coming on the [00:23:32] show that are from the the operator [00:23:34] world some of them maybe [00:23:36] like i said we don't have a whole lot [00:23:38] locked in because [00:23:40] so many things are coming into play [00:23:41] nowadays but [00:23:43] we do have two operators already locked [00:23:46] in i'm not going to tell you who they [00:23:47] are because it's a surprise but um and [00:23:51] then we have probably [00:23:54] maybe five [00:23:55] that are waiting on [00:23:58] certain things to develop whether it's a [00:23:59] book to be released or whether it's [00:24:02] whether it's government approval to tell [00:24:04] their story or whatever and uh and i [00:24:06] think we're probably gonna be the first [00:24:08] ones to cover a lot of [00:24:10] a lot of that stuff this year so we're [00:24:12] still bringing those to you [00:24:14] don't worry there's gonna be plenty of [00:24:16] war stories um maybe even including my [00:24:19] own [00:24:20] but [00:24:22] but it's gonna be [00:24:26] more diversified uh than what it is [00:24:29] right now so and uh you know what if we [00:24:32] do it and it's just if we start doing [00:24:35] this other stuff with uh [00:24:36] you know with the newsworthy type stuff [00:24:38] and it's it's a total bust then we can [00:24:41] always go back [00:24:42] so uh that's why i need you guys in the [00:24:44] comments section telling me what did you [00:24:47] like what did you dislike or you know [00:24:49] all that kind of stuff [00:24:51] and [00:24:52] and uh the comments really help i don't [00:24:54] respond to all of them because it can [00:24:56] get [00:24:56] extremely overwhelming as mostly most of [00:24:59] you know [00:25:00] um [00:25:01] it's just impossible [00:25:03] but um but i do read probably damn near [00:25:06] all of them [00:25:07] and um [00:25:09] and i take each and every one of them uh [00:25:12] to heart even though a lot of people [00:25:13] tell me i probably shouldn't be reading [00:25:15] the comments section i read it because [00:25:17] that's my gauge on what you guys want i [00:25:19] ca i'm pretty good at deciphering who [00:25:21] the [00:25:21] who the turds are that are just here to [00:25:24] to [00:25:25] talk [ __ ] and and who's been around here [00:25:28] for a long time and who's actually [00:25:29] seeking out real information or want to [00:25:31] hear real backstories and um [00:25:34] and yeah so there's that [00:25:36] um so with that being said if you guys [00:25:39] could all leave me a comment right now [00:25:40] that would be tremendous a big help [00:25:44] because it does help with the algorithm [00:25:47] um [00:25:50] then [00:25:52] i just kind of want to close it out i [00:25:53] don't [00:25:54] uh you know like i said [00:25:58] primary focus this year [00:26:00] is [00:26:01] the sean ryan show that's what we're [00:26:02] going with i'm not really going to [00:26:04] deviate from it uh there might be a [00:26:07] couple things here and there we are [00:26:09] spinning up that new clips channel [00:26:11] and um for those of you guys that don't [00:26:13] know sean ryan clips is up and going [00:26:16] strong [00:26:18] and basically what we've done is we've [00:26:20] broken down every show [00:26:22] into segments and [00:26:26] we've broken every show down into [00:26:27] segments and we're cutting those [00:26:29] segments putting them on sean ryan clips [00:26:32] because i i [00:26:33] watching a four and a half five hour [00:26:35] episode can be [00:26:36] uh [00:26:38] that's a commitment so [00:26:40] we're starting to put that over on sean [00:26:42] ryan clips we're putting the new ones [00:26:44] out as they come out and then we're [00:26:46] we're kind of rekindling some of the [00:26:48] older episodes that maybe got lost in [00:26:52] the trillions of videos that are on [00:26:54] youtube and uh and it's working it's [00:26:56] working and it's bringing people over to [00:26:59] the to [00:27:00] this channel right here vigilance elite [00:27:03] and um [00:27:04] so there's there's tons of stuff going [00:27:06] on over there that's that's broken up [00:27:08] into segments it's grown from like [00:27:11] [ __ ] i think it went from like 6 000 [00:27:13] subs to we're about to hit 30 000 subs [00:27:15] in about two months [00:27:17] so those of you that are over there [00:27:18] thank you for being over there uh i [00:27:21] really appreciate it and uh and we'll [00:27:24] continue to do that right now we're [00:27:25] posting every monday wednesday and [00:27:28] thursday [00:27:29] um i am going to start [00:27:31] backing off [00:27:32] the other social media platforms uh [00:27:35] instagram i've never really had much of [00:27:37] a presence on twitter i hate twitter [00:27:39] actually i hate instagram too [00:27:41] uh but it does seem to be important for [00:27:43] marketing however uh [00:27:46] personal goals this year is to [00:27:49] back off a little bit on the social [00:27:51] media and concentrate on one thing do it [00:27:54] really good what we do good is youtube [00:27:58] and interviews and that's what i'm [00:28:00] that's what i plan on doing uh patreon [00:28:03] we've totally restructured patreon uh [00:28:06] for those of you that are on there [00:28:08] you're our best supporters thank you and [00:28:10] i tell you guys that all the time uh on [00:28:12] patreon i'm telling you right now too [00:28:14] thank you you're what makes everything [00:28:17] uh [00:28:18] you're what [00:28:20] it's all possible because of you [00:28:22] um [00:28:23] with patreon we've totally restructured [00:28:25] it here we go i guess i'm not closing [00:28:27] out um [00:28:29] totally restructured it used to be all [00:28:31] tactics it was was when we started [00:28:34] pulling tactics and gun reviews and [00:28:35] stuff off of youtube putting them on [00:28:38] patreon guys i've got hundreds of videos [00:28:41] maybe not hundreds but over a hundred [00:28:43] videos of tactics training drills [00:28:47] reviews setups all that stuff i could [00:28:50] keep doing it [00:28:52] i could keep doing it but [00:28:54] i mean it's all there you know and and [00:28:57] some of these new guys that are coming [00:28:58] out um [00:29:00] of of the military gbrs group dj shipley [00:29:04] his partner cole fackler um christian [00:29:07] craighead is going to start teaching [00:29:09] guys i'm going to be honest and i'm not [00:29:11] scared to say it uh [00:29:14] i'm becoming outdated [00:29:16] my tactics you gotta remember i left the [00:29:19] seal teams in 2006. [00:29:22] okay [00:29:22] and and these other guys that are coming [00:29:25] out that have 20 years [00:29:26] of combat experience they're going to [00:29:29] give you better and more up-to-date [00:29:32] tactics and drills and all the latest [00:29:35] and greatest stuff and i'm not scared to [00:29:37] say it you see i see these other guys [00:29:38] hanging around for me personally [00:29:41] i think that the tactical space is a [00:29:44] great segue out of [00:29:46] out of special operations it's the [00:29:48] perfect job uh to get you a platform [00:29:52] to develop a business and and [00:29:56] i kind of started doing that with travis [00:29:58] kennedy you know not to say i don't [00:30:00] really know anywhere other to say it [00:30:01] than than passing the torch but [00:30:04] um [00:30:05] you know it's it's a great thing for the [00:30:07] time being and then it's [00:30:09] for me personally it's time to let the [00:30:11] new guys that are getting out of the [00:30:13] military uh take that [00:30:15] take that space and run with it and and [00:30:19] hopefully they develop their businesses [00:30:21] um [00:30:23] to a point where they can diversify more [00:30:25] and and the guys coming out the guys [00:30:28] that are coming out in five ten years [00:30:30] you know [00:30:31] have they have room in the space to get [00:30:33] their stuff out too and a lot of guys [00:30:36] don't develop out of it that's not you [00:30:38] know [00:30:39] you know that's cool that's fine that's [00:30:41] where you want to be [00:30:42] but uh [00:30:43] i i like passing the torch and and it it [00:30:47] it creates space [00:30:49] for the other guys that are coming out [00:30:50] that that shit's important because it is [00:30:53] hard transitioning out of the military [00:30:55] um [00:30:57] so [00:30:57] with new year's resolutions uh one thing [00:31:00] that i forgot to cover [00:31:01] i get a lot of people i hear a lot of [00:31:03] people saying i'm not going to watch the [00:31:04] news anymore i'm not going to pay [00:31:06] attention to what's going on i'm out of [00:31:07] politics i totally understand that and [00:31:10] i'm the exact same way [00:31:12] with that being said you got to keep a [00:31:14] pulse on it so a lot of people aren't [00:31:17] happy with what's going on in the world [00:31:19] right now a lot of people aren't happy [00:31:21] with what's going on in our country [00:31:22] right now [00:31:23] and part of the reason part of how we [00:31:26] got here [00:31:28] is [00:31:29] by not paying attention so [00:31:31] regardless of how much it pisses you off [00:31:34] you know you have to understand you [00:31:36] can't control [00:31:37] what's happening [00:31:40] right now but what you can control [00:31:43] is [00:31:44] how you vote and [00:31:47] whether that be you know local elections [00:31:49] state elections uh national elections [00:31:52] all that kind of stuff that's how you [00:31:54] control it you control how you vote and [00:31:57] and and i think [00:31:59] some of the things that have been [00:32:00] happening um [00:32:02] throughout the entire world is people [00:32:04] have been misinformed because they put [00:32:06] too much trust into the media and or [00:32:10] they just aren't paying attention at all [00:32:12] and so if we all go back to not paying [00:32:15] attention to what the hell is happening [00:32:17] in the world well guess what then it's [00:32:18] just going to continue [00:32:20] to get worse so keep a pulse on it [00:32:23] stay informed [00:32:25] but just don't dedicate every second of [00:32:27] your free time you know to [00:32:30] to [00:32:31] to pissing yourself off by [00:32:34] listening to the talking heads and the [00:32:36] politicians and um [00:32:38] with that being said [00:32:40] uh [00:32:41] i will give you our first guest which [00:32:43] i'm hoping [00:32:45] well i don't want to

watching it and supporting um i don't [00:36:06] think you guys realize how many lives [00:36:08] have been [00:36:10] changed from putting people [00:36:13] in that seat up there across from me [00:36:16] and getting their story out because um [00:36:19] together we have jet launched [00:36:21] more businesses [00:36:23] uh [00:36:25] in a huge way [00:36:26] you know i guess i can't say that we can [00:36:28] count because there's only been 17 [00:36:30] guests but um [00:36:32] but uh we've launched we we've helped [00:36:35] these guys just jet launch their [00:36:36] businesses [00:36:38] we've um brought a lot of peace [00:36:41] to people that have been up there [00:36:43] like the blackwater guys [00:36:46] uh one of the recent ones the uh greg [00:36:48] hal grimson you know these these guys [00:36:50] have never been able to get you know [00:36:52] their side of what happened out [00:36:55] it's only been the media and and [00:36:58] and [00:36:59] and that brought a lot of peace to them [00:37:01] because they saw how much support and we [00:37:03] changed [00:37:05] we changed a lot of minds on uh of [00:37:07] people that have just been watching the [00:37:09] the the lives you know from [00:37:13] or i'm sorry that have been watching the [00:37:15] news and the lies from the media [00:37:17] uh about the incidents that have been [00:37:19] going on and out there and so for them [00:37:22] to have in in [00:37:24] a unbiased platform [00:37:26] where we leave opinions out and just let [00:37:28] them state facts and and what you know [00:37:31] what happened from their eyes out there [00:37:34] uh that's huge you know [00:37:36] people are going to live longer [00:37:39] because of that [00:37:40] meaning them less stress [00:37:42] longer lives happier lives and uh that [00:37:46] means a lot and also with the exposure [00:37:48] too you know people like uh luis [00:37:50] chaparro uh ed calderon them being able [00:37:54] to get out real first-hand knowledge and [00:37:56] information of what the hell is going on [00:37:59] down there through their eyes that's [00:38:00] that's extremely important [00:38:02]
