This is exactly why we need more veterans and true American hero’s involved in our government
Heroes*
@@madmax82988damn right
Amen
Heroes are good at being heroes. We need leaders. Different skill set but I get why you're saying what you're saying. It appeals to the plebs.
@@aarondavis8943 I’ll take a veteran in that chair over the same old corrupt dinosaurs that have been sitting there the past 20 years ruining our country and economy
Perfect example of a man who knows.. compared to a man who thinks he knows...
In a combat zone we use all the available resources we have as a person and group. When we make a national budget, we have to use our available resources to do all the things we may have to do. Infrastructure, programs, military, disaster relief, allow the economy to function etc. We can't spend all the money on just weapons or defense. The guy was right in that case and Luttrell didn't have a response.
@@EGarrett01your ignorance is showing.
@@Grunt-tl3on Your inability to offer an intelligent retort is showing. Engage with the content, and you might learn something. Or, you can stick to the ad hominem and never move the conversation forward-your choice.
Well…who’s really responsible for 9/11??? I think you know.

Ptsd is not much fun
More vets should be in politics. I am so proud of the Lutrell brothers. He speaks for the common people.
Just watch out for the Upper Echelon General's like "Lip stick on a Pig" Miley, McMaster, Gen Kelley, Former White House chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. John Kelly & Def sec Mattis & underlings like Lt col vindman who have spent too much in Think tanks & support the Deep state narrative.
Starship Troopers-style government unironically sounding better and better.
And before any smartass steps up with the "muh fascist military junta!", military service was NOT the only way to get citizenship in that universe.
@@tachyon8317 What a hilariously bad comparison. He never said you HAD to be a vet to be in Congress. Reading comprehension.
@@AngryFknDog how so, "AngryFknDog"? Lets hear your reasoning.
You'd be surprised at how many vets dont want you having your constitution.
As long as I see Mr. Luttrell and Mr. Crane seated at the head of the table (and more like them retired), I have faith our country is headed in the right direction. I can have hope / reverence that eventually our government will be right again. God Bless from Upstate NY Republican
Right on!

Crane is a complete RINO.
@@ashleigh3021 I was speaking on the selfless sacrifice of these gentlemen as warriors. If they have some semblance of integrity and selflessness, with some fierce intelligence thrown in, then we are way above where we are now.
This country was built off immigrants
Hey man, not to burst your bubble on Marcus, but he’s been outed as a liar, especially on what happened during Operation Red Wings. You should look into it, it’s actually a pretty huge lie that was told to the American public
Much respect for Congressman Luttrell and all of our military men and women! Thank you all for your service!
Donald Trump thinks our military are "suckers" and "losers", including Morgan and Marcus Luttrell.
@@MrfiX725what does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Always someone with Trump Derangement Syndrome making a nonsensical statement. And, Hillary Clinton through her inactions was responsible for multiple service members getting killed along with a U.S. Ambassador. Kamala Harris laughed as she illegally hid exculpatory evidence, that resulted in someone losing their freedom until it was overturned years later. All of the politicians who were too chicken shit to serve in the military, don’t care about service members/veterans. Including Trump. But, again, what does that have to do with this hearing? 🤦♂️
@@MrfiX725 He stated he didn't say that.
@@MrfiX725 Stop drinking the kool-aid. That claim has been LONG debunked.
@@MrfiX725bullshit every video with that headline doesn’t show him saying that ever.
That's my Congressman. I used my vote correctly.
You sure did.
Yes you did. 💪💪💪💪
As a Washington native, I envy you.

God bless you for having common sense. 👌🏽👌🏽
What that bureaucrat is basically saying is some American lives lost are acceptable for the sake of immigration, when the real answer should be zero.
I mentioned Kate Steinle and my post was taken down. Why YT? Say her name!!!
For the sake of illegal immigration.
For the sake of Illegal Immigration.
FACT
Pretty much
Luttrell is the kind of politican we need more of in this country!
Soldiers dont make good politicians, its because they have good hearts and once faced with all the corruption and lies they get the HELL OUT!
A coward?
No.
@@sweetness34kmhow is he a coward
@@technom3598he ran away from an ambush, was found with a full combat load of magazines. He doesn’t even speak to the man who saved his life after he called him out for his lies.

You're not thinking about his twin brother from lone survivor are you?
@@a.N..... 🗿
@@a.N.....Ofc OP is, I was thinking the same too. I didn't know Marcus had a twin brother.
Do everything. Yes. Please do everything that can be done. Thank you Congressman Luttrell
Sounds good, How will you be paying Your $5800 share of the 1 trillion dollar cost for "doing everything"?
Please show in detail how you come to that figure. Also, I want to have my grandchildren grow up in a free country like we did. Morgan was right. You don't understand unless you have been in an active war theater. You see money. We see our freedom. @@rockymntnliberty

@@rockymntnlibertyThey can use every penny of my tax dollars to do just that
Imagine what they could have accomplished with the tax dollars that have been sent to Ukraine instead of dumping it there SMH
@kindred6437
I would agree there are a lot of other expenses I would love to see the government cut, and spend that money toward defending our border. But in reality, we all know that every penny spent is additional money, not replacing some other money. That said, are you willing to give an extra five $5800 or whatever that number might be?

than that would be having to walk next to Mr. Goldman !
Mr. Lattrell, you’re a true American hero and I’m sorry you had to go through that,
Especially with all you’ve been through!
Thank you sir 🫡
Much respect
You sound as full of it as Luttrell...

Thank you Mr Luttrell, for your service and continued dedication to all of us in the United States of America.
You mean leaving his team to die while he ran for his life? Not ONE SHOT was fired by Marcus on that day. That is a proven fact.
@@badmanarnie2456this is Marcus' brother Morgan, they both were Seals. Morgan is a politician now.

Talk talk talk nothing gets done.
Yup. And the government will even give us politicians on the right to talk down on the evil to make us feel better than do nothing as if we should be satisfied. I'm talking in general not here. I'm pissed off.
You are so right. Nothing against Rep. Luttrell's great job here, but what will come of it? Congress is all bark and no bite.
Are you doing your part
And as long as there is a Democrat majority in any part of the federal government, it will continue to be that way. Nothing will ever get done.
@@mikegrant5721I guess just be prepared on our own then.

U can’t the us immigration laws allows people to come since 1621
Legally, not illegally. Why do you people try to act like that’s the same thing??
You’re obviously living in a fantasy because that’ll never happen 😂
The US didn't have immigration laws in 1621 and that doesn't mean we can't shut it down and force those who want to be here to do it through legal means

May God Bless You Mr. Luttrell, thank you.
Luttrell rocks! Let’s have more like minded individuals in the senate looking out for our country! God bless him
Morgan and Marcus, true American heroes.
Marcus is a coward and Morgan is inept, at best.
Well Morgan is!
@@hereticlife2546 And what have you done with your life, oh that's right, nothing. It's hilarious the same people that are so quick to call a hero a coward, are the same people who never stepped foot near any type of combat.
Calling someone who actually went out and fought for their country a coward, while sitting behind your keyboard afraid someone will violate your "safe space", seems pretty damn cowardly.
yeah not so sure of that now!
Marcus the coward you mean?
Glad to see your books on the market

Spot on Mr. Lutrell. Glad we have people like you still looking out for this country.
They arent really looking out they just want the clip of them "owning the dems" then when its time to do anything they are nowhere to be found
There are not scarce resources they’re just not being allocated properly for keeping us safe.
The money is being given to globalist elites
The majority of those "resources" are lining the pockets of many players that do not have OUR best interests at heart. That's the sad, undeniable truth.
@@pikehunter23750 globalist elites
I completely disagree their laundering money globally let me rephrase it they're laundering OUR MONEY GLOBALLY
You mean like the GOP BORDER BILL THAT DRUMP KILLED?
Have you ever came back from a gunfight with all of your ammo...? Marcus " yeah ".
😂😂😂
That's Morgan Luttrell.
@@SamFisher007 I like you. You're smart...
amazing at the inept in these politicians......
Much respect, Mr. Luttrell! 🫡 🇺🇸
Thank you Mr. Morgan Luttrell and all of your brothers and sisters in arms who have so bravely fought battles to relieve the world of the boogeymen who terrorize others on this planet. Some of those brave individuals gave their lives for the greater good. You are now fighting as a representative for the great state of Texas, where I had the pleasure of living for 25 years. You are a blessing, sir. Again, thank you.
Finally a American that speaks the truth and a experience combat veteran that was the most powerful speaker I've seen and heard in a long time thank you Sir
Thanks so much for your service my Brother ❤
We need more people who will stand for America and here people. Let's keep America and Americans safe.

"Don't do everything" ?!?!?! wtf
We all need to listen very carefully to these heroes. They understand. ❤🇺🇸
They haven’t. They’re a bunch of cowards that would sell us out.
What a little weasel. 1000 years ago he would have been a court jester and today he has a voice in issues that matter. Disgraceful
I'm so confused, are you suggesting that Dr. Alex Nowrasteh is a court jester?
Makes sense. Nowresteh is half Iranian and very pro immigration. Weasel is quite applicable here. My guess is he wants to bring as many of his people here as possible.

Glad you and the guy sitting next to you (Mr Higgins) are still in the game 👍 stay in there duudes
Yes Sir !

I've been in one...they are the scariest moments in ones life.

Doing LESS than everything got us 9/11.
Doing LESS than everything IS doing NOTHING.
At some point, the American citizen truly has to start realizing that a lot of the horrors we've seen since November of 1963 have been conducted with deliberation and intent, not oopsy daisy, my bad or aw shucks, we'll get it right next time.
The logical conclusion of doing EVERYTHING to stop terrorism is a police state. Is that what you want?
No Bush got us 911..
@@davidf7572we shall not relinquish a shred of freedom to gain an ounce of security. The government has mishandled their massive allotment of power time and time again.

They should stop the CIA from training terrorist and this would never happen 🤷🏻♂️
The world was messed up before the United States existed... The problem is America has tied itself to the old world and has imported the problems that come with it.
Well, the US is an empire, never was anything else, and a corporate empire at that. But like all empires, the US is now decaying and declining.
CIA is also letting them in
CIA trained the taliban, the american people bought the humvees 😅

Wake up people
“They’re definitely foreign born if they were born outside of the United State”
Thanks for clearing that up guy.
He was asked to clear it up, guy
It's because the open border people make the argument that it doesn't matter where you were born as long as you were legalized so that people dont think "hey, they all came from a certain area, maybe we shouldn't let people from there come here so much"
I would NEVER walk shoulder to shoulder with Goldman

Goldman's a wimp he couldn't shine Luttrells boots!!
Exactly, Why was he even bringing up Goldman in that point.
Absolutely
Seriously. Goldman is trash.
Absolute Respect!
Great answer !
Thank you sir!! FACTS!!!
So he was 99.9% successful but refuses the idea you can’t be 100% successful?

wow... direct, brilliant. Hat off sir.
Need him in california
Some told him to sling that CATO bag over the chair for free advertising.
Does everything mean invading Mexico to expell the cartels?
I wrote that a while back. If I was President, the border and cartel problem would be over very quickly.
If Luttrell thought it through, he would arrive at the same courses of action, I believe. But there simply isn’t the political will either from reps or the people that voted for them, to do the ugly-but-necessary stuff to solve these problems.
People will need to be captured, KIA’d, rounded up, transported, released, etc. Areas of denial will need to be made. Assets will need to be seized or destroyed. International relations will be strained or broken. If everything needs to be done, then every option is on the table.
You know who uses creative courses of actions? Those folks who sabotaged Hezbollah’s pagers and walkie-talkies. The same folks that configured the hotel room phone to take out the Munich Olympic bad guys. That’s an outfit which does whatever is needed to solve potential problems.
You'd have to ask the CIA permission to eliminate their fund raising wing.
That’d be awesome I’d reup my contract for that
@@deepzone31 I think the DEA and CIA are having a war over those funds
