00:00I have a message for the American people. Last December, I encouraged you to give this new
00:05administration a chance. Time is up. Our government is compromised. Tyrants get promoted and patriots
00:15get punished. I am very concerned that we are on the brink of losing our constitutional republic
00:20to tyranny. We came extremely close during COVID and it seems to me like everyone has already
00:26forgotten that it even happened. There has been no rectification and absolutely no accountability.
00:32The only way that I see we the people taking back our country is a ground-up revolution. We must
00:39abandon the America First movement as well as both political parties. I am calling for the God First
00:46Liberty Second movement to be born in the United States of America. This will take at least 8 to
00:5312 years to accomplish. We must first take municipal seats, then county seats, then state seats, and
01:00then we will take back our federal government. If the spirit of patriotism burns within you, you are
01:05called to the work. For many are called, but few are chosen. We need those who otherwise never would
01:12have gotten involved in politics to step up and serve. What would your qualifications be? I can't
01:17say. But I can share with the Lord personally impressed upon me to qualify for me to participate
01:23in his work, and maybe it will guide you in seeking your calling. Number one, you must keep yourself
01:29above reproach. If you have any vices, you must abandon them. Pornography, any sexual sin, any addiction,
01:38unrighteous anger, and pride were a few that were impressed upon me. The enemy of all freedom will use
01:45anything you do against you, so only do good. Two, you must prioritize your health and fitness.
01:52If you do not have a strong tabernacle to house your spirit, your emotions, and your mental health,
01:59you will struggle to overcome the attacks that surely will come. Number three, you must trust in
02:05God with all your heart. There will be hard times ahead in this movement. If you do not have faith,
02:11you will not endure. Number four, you must be willing to sacrifice everything. Your life may
02:16even be taken. Personally, I am all in. I am currently running for mayor in the city of Eagle
02:22Mountain, Utah, where I reside. My primary election is taking place soon. If I fail to prevail, in two
02:29years I will run for city council, and then in four more years I will run for mayor again.
02:35I am calling on patriots and freedom fighters everywhere to join this movement. You are
02:40called. It's up to you what you do to be chosen. I intend to preserve for my children what my
02:46parents'
02:47generation has failed to preserve for me. In the future for which I am fighting, my children will
02:52be able to afford a home. My children will be permitted to raise their children without the fear of the
02:58government indoctrinating them. Troops on USS Abraham Lincoln and other parts in the Middle East have
03:07started protesting against Trump and Israel. A poster hanged by the aircraft revealed anti-Israel messages
03:15and complaints about deployment. And now some of the frustration is spilling into public view. Photos and
03:23reports circulating online show messages written in dust on military equipment, including phrases such
03:30as, be a good goy and do what Israel tells you to, Operation Epstein Fury, and all this for the
03:38Holy Land.
03:39The USS Abraham Lincoln has been deployed for months in the Middle East as part of the U.S. military
03:45operation against Iran. Recent reporting says the carrier has gone more than eight months without a
03:52significant port call, putting extraordinary pressure on the crew of nearly 5,000 people.
03:59Some messages also mock repeated expectations of a new peace deal. These messages appear to reflect
04:06anger among at least some personnel, but they should not automatically be treated as evidence that the
04:12entire crew shares the same political views. The more serious issue is what sailors and their families
04:19are saying about conditions aboard the ship. Reports describe problems involving food, water, plumbing,
04:27supplies, and mental health support. One of the most striking complaints involves meals. Images of food served
04:35aboard the ship have gone viral, with sailors describing the meals as among the worst they have experienced
04:40during deployment. And this is happening after months without the normal relief that comes
04:46from a port visit. There are also reports of severe strain on sailors' mental health. Recent reporting says
04:54a sailor went overboard in what officials described as a mental health crisis, while other accounts have
05:00raised concerns about additional sailors attempting to go overboard. The Navy has disputed some of the broader
05:07characterizations of a mental health crisis across the ship. But the fact that these allegations are now
05:13being discussed publicly has put enormous attention on the welfare of the crew. And then came the
05:20political backlash. President Donald Trump has dismissed concerns over the sailors' deployment, saying the
05:27deployment was, in his words, not nearly long enough.
05:35Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has also pushed back against reports of deteriorating conditions, describing them as
05:43completely misrepresented. But families of sailors are demanding answers. They say this is not simply about whether
05:51sailors can endure a long deployment. It is about food, clean water, functioning facilities, mental health care, and
05:59whether service members are receiving the support they were promised. And that brings us to the political messages
06:05appearing aboard the ship. Some of the graffiti directly attacks perceived Israeli influence over American policy. But there is an
06:14important distinction here. These messages are evidence of frustration expressed by individuals. They are not proof that the U.S.
06:22military
06:22as an institution has rejected Israel, or that every sailor aboard the Lincoln opposes the Iran war. What they do
06:31show is that the
06:31political debate surrounding this war is reaching the people serving directly on the front line. And now, with the USS
06:39George
06:40Washington reportedly preparing to relieve the Lincoln, the immediate question is whether the crew will
06:46finally get the rest and support they have been waiting for. Because behind the politics, the slogans,
06:53and the viral posts, there are thousands of American sailors who have spent months at sea, under threat, away from
07:00their families. And now, their living conditions and mental health are becoming impossible to ignore.
