let's be intentional. So when I say the words courageous
21
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:09.560
followed patriotic, resolute, what do you think of I am
22
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:15.560
Vision are cherished veterans who have sworn a commitment to
23
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.000
uphold their oath of office for the rest of their lives.
24
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:25.080
Come what may. These men and women voluntarily pledge to
25
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:29.800
defend the US Constitution and are willing to lay down
26
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:35.560
their lives and fortunes to protect our freedoms our liberties.
27
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.639
When these veterans come home to the country they so
28
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:46.800
valiantly served, their needs are often quite extensive. A considerable
29
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:52.000
number of them suffer from ailments such as traumatic brain injuries,
30
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:57.639
loss of limbs, and other complications. Many suffer from post
31
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:03.680
traumatic stress disorder Russian anxiety suicide, which has led to
32
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:09.199
the loss of their families and livelihoods. These precious souls
33
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:14.520
who have given so much need a lasting solution and
34
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:20.000
a resounding voice to bring them forward. Today, we are
35
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.439
going to lean in with our special guest recording artist
36
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.840
Glenn Baker. He is an Army veteran who served his
37
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:32.560
country faithfully in Desert Storm, and he is embarking on
38
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:38.120
a cross country mission to seek real solution to today's
39
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:44.360
pressing issues by bringing us the documentary called Finish This Fight,
40
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.120
Diary of a pissed off American Soldier. Now, before we
41
00:03:49.159 --> 00:05:22.160
bring Glenn on, let's watch this wow. Please welcome with
42
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.959
me Glenn Baker, Hello, Glenn, how are you?
43
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:28.839
Hey Mick, I'm doing fantastic girl. How are you.
44
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.439
I'm doing good. I'm doing good. I'm so glad that
45
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:34.879
you are with us today. You know, a couple of
46
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:38.639
weeks ago, we had you on a podcast to Come
47
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:42.680
Together Media, and I do that podcast as well, and
48
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:47.519
we really briefly touched on the topic of this documentary
49
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.279
that you're doing. So I'm glad you're here with us
50
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:53.120
today so we can really kind of dig in because
51
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.639
that looks phenomenal.
52
00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:01.480
Wow, how I appreciate you having me go ahead?
53
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.120
Oh no, I just wanted to ask how long has
54
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:07.040
this documentary been in making?
55
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:15.199
So in July I found a film company to film
56
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:18.319
my new music video for a song i'd written called
57
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:22.720
Soldier Strom. Around the July the seventh, I think, is
58
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.800
when I met these people. And as we got all
59
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.040
of the details organized to get that done, God whispered
60
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:33.319
in my ear said, hey, son, we're not going to
61
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:34.959
just do a music video. We're going to shoot a
62
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.399
movie too. And I said, yes, sir. And so it's
63
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:44.639
been just over ninety days when this came into creation,
64
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:48.519
into my mind, actually into creation, and we have worked
65
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:54.319
diligently hard to be able to release finish this fight
66
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.839
Diary of a pissed off American Soldier this Friday at
67
00:06:57.879 --> 00:06:58.800
seven pm.
68
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:05.319
It's coming out this Friday, This Friday. Oh man, are
69
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.240
you like doing like a blitz? Where is it going
70
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:10.079
to be? Where is it coming out?
71
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:14.519
We are selling primarily through affiliates across this country. And
72
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.160
I want to tell you why. I've been in this
73
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.839
patriot movement for about four years. I woke up in
74
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:24.560
twenty eighteen and actually twenty seventeen, probably to what's happening
75
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.199
in our country and in our world. And I've spent
76
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:29.160
a lot of time and a lot of money going
77
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:32.319
across this country. God called me back to music being
78
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:34.160
able to be a part of reawake, and I've been
79
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.000
able to go across the country and speak about freedom,
80
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.959
and most of the time it was on my own
81
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:44.079
dime and a lot of people in the same scenario.
82
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.600
And that's not a problem. This is not about money,
83
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:49.759
but money is a tool and it does take money
84
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:53.600
to make things happen. So when this came into my
85
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.800
brain to create this, I decided to do it completely
86
00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:00.519
through affiliates. At least the first four months, because there's
87
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.680
folks out there that have spent way more time and
88
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:05.920
money than I have to the point where they don't
89
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:07.639
have a whole lot left. I want to be able
90
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.560
to compensate our patriots for helping me get this out
91
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:15.079
to the masses. So it'll be released through affiliates, and
92
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:18.519
in fact, I would like to give you an affiliate
93
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.879
link where you can help us move this movie on
94
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:22.959
your shows.
95
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:26.959
We would love it. We would be honored, Glenn, that
96
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:31.720
would be fabulous. I do want to mention your microphone's
97
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.799
just a little bit glitchy. I just want to make sure,
98
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:39.840
but I just in case. But I do want to say,
99
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:44.240
right off the bat, thank you and bless you for
100
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:51.360
your service and for creating this documentary. My husband spent
101
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:54.840
twenty years in the Air Force, and my father in
102
00:08:54.919 --> 00:09:00.320
law is a Korean War veteran. And I believe believe
103
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:04.919
that many are seen. They're waking up to that realization
104
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:10.120
that the America that you fought for, and many fought for,
105
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.480
the America that you protected, is really now in a
106
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:22.000
severe demise. And I see this as an intentional destruction.
107
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:25.759
It's an erosion of our faith and our family and
108
00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:30.120
our Constitution, and so Glenn, I wanted you to just
109
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.159
kind of tell us a little bit about the documentary
110
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:36.600
finished the fight. I love the title A diary of
111
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:42.000
a pissed off soldier. And what inspired you to create this?
112
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:45.720
I know God whispered in your ear, but what made
113
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:46.799
you follow the path?
114
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:51.039
Well May twenty seventeen, and my story is detailed in
115
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:54.360
this movie. But in twenty seventeen, I found myself arrested
116
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.320
and spent seventy three days in two separate jails for
117
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:00.679
a crime. I didn't even know what the crime was
118
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.480
for the first twenty three days, didn't see an attorney,
119
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.919
didn't see a judge until the eighth day. They weren't
120
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:10.600
allowing me to even access my cell phone to get
121
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:14.080
any numbers to call anyone, so nobody in my family
122
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.000
knew where I was at. I live in Florida, but
123
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:21.759
I'm from Oklahoma. Was transferred to Salisbury, North Carolina, where
124
00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:26.120
I found out it was a charge called receiving property
125
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:30.159
under a false pretense. Saw my attorney for the first time,
126
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:32.639
and about three days later, found out that a former
127
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:37.000
partner of mine, who was a retired pastor, had amveddled
128
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.360
twenty two thousand dollars from a client that I'd given
129
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:42.960
him when I signed the company over to him, spent
130
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.039
another fifty one days there, finally got out and got home,
131
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.399
had lost my home, my car, eighty percent of my business,
132
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:53.440
and the night after I got home, an infection that
133
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:55.639
I'd caught in that jail that went untreated went into
134
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:59.039
my right eye and destroyed my cornea, so I was
135
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:02.720
blinded in my I spent a year really not caring
136
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:07.080
whether I lived or died, and God woke me up
137
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.919
and handed me a microphone. One night, I went out
138
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:11.679
to dinner with the buddy, first time i'd done that
139
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:13.919
since I'd gotten out of jail, and there was a
140
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:17.000
band playing that night, and I was smiling for the
141
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:20.440
first time of a year, and laughing and singing, and
142
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:23.120
this pretty little Armenian girl who was the lead singer
143
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.159
of the band, in the middle of a song, came
144
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.440
out and handed me her microphone, and I just went
145
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:32.399
there was a fire lit that couldn't be put out,
146
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:35.919
So through all of that, Mick I woke up. I
147
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.320
thought my country had loved me and had my best
148
00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:40.879
interest at heart, and I realized this was not the
149
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:44.720
country that I fought for, so God began to put
150
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:46.720
a mission in my heart. I thought it was just music.
151
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:48.440
I didn't know what all it was going to be.
152
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:52.279
So the reason for the movie and what this movie
153
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:55.279
is about is soldiers. And there's a lot of us
154
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:57.799
that have woken up and realized this is not the
155
00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:01.320
country that we fought for and identify how we got
156
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.840
here from several different angles, and we talk about I
157
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:08.200
had a chance to visit with Colonel Allen West and
158
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:12.159
Craig Sauger, the Seal Team sixth guy that has got
159
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:16.759
veterans for child rescue right now rescuing kids from child
160
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.879
trafficking clear across the country. Had a chance to talk
161
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:23.720
with John Tegan, an amazing guy that was the one
162
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:27.039
that was sent into being Ghazi and was left there
163
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:33.200
to die by our government and many others. Lieutenant Colonel
164
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:36.320
Ivan Rachlin, who's a character by the way, he's a
165
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:39.639
good dude, and we all come to the same conclusion
166
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:42.559
this is not the country we fought for, and we
167
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:45.320
detail some ideas and how to get it back, but ultimately,
168
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.440
ultimately it comes back. And we've walked away from God
169
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:53.200
and until we humble ourselves and come back to him.
170
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:57.159
We can do everything right, but it's gonna be in
171
00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:58.720
vain unless we do that one thing.
172
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:05.639
Oh, you know that is so true. I pray that
173
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.879
every day that we have a returning to God because
174
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:15.120
as a nurse, I really believe in the whole person,
175
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:20.679
the physical, the mental, and the spiritual. But that spiritual
176
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.200
is the crux, that's the core. Once you have that
177
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.600
spiritual and you are right with God, then everything will
178
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:32.799
fall into place. And I know that from my own life,
179
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:38.360
you know, Glenn, I can't help. But as I'm scrolling
180
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:41.399
through looking at stuff every day, I see all these
181
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:47.360
headlines and you see about homelessness and veterans increasing by
182
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:51.879
seven point four percent in twenty twenty three. You see
183
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:57.879
pro Palestinian protesters were invoking violence and they are taking
184
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.840
over colleges, and then you see we have an administration.
185
00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:06.120
What are Kamala Harris sends four hundred and twenty five
186
00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:10.399
million to the Ukraine and she cracks a beer on
187
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:16.840
Late night TV with Stephen Colbert. But the American volunteers,
188
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:20.519
the ones who are who have lost everything, are doing
189
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:25.960
the repair in North Carolina. So as you're traveling around
190
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.120
the country and you're speaking to these experts, the veterans,
191
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:34.919
the influential voices. What are you hearing, Glenn, What are
192
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.039
people telling you about those pressing issues that they are facing.
193
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.759
Well, Meck, it comes down to this, we've got a
194
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:48.799
government that really doesn't care about us. It's morphed into it,
195
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:51.039
and it happened over a period of time, but I
196
00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:55.159
believe it even started one hundred plus years ago. And
197
00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:58.559
there's a truth in a saying that power corrupts. An
198
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:03.279
absolute power corrupt, absolutely. But they're very good at putting
199
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.879
on a front, you know. They're very good at saying, oh,
200
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:10.799
we're here for the people. No they're not. They give
201
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:14.240
us just enough where we won't starve to death, and
202
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.200
trying to keep people happy. So when it comes to veterans,
203
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:23.399
you're right. I think the VA does a acceptable job
204
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:27.279
in many instances right now, but there's no going above
205
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:29.879
and beyond, because a veteran is somebody that signed up
206
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:32.759
for their life to go above and beyond, even if
207
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:34.879
it was to the point of their life going away.
208
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:38.960
So are they taking care of them in some instances.
209
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:42.240
I've had a pretty good experience myself with the VA,
210
00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:45.200
But in a lot of instances, no, So here's where
211
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:49.360
we are making in history. We have to come back
212
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:53.360
to we the people. You know, this is a government
213
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:57.360
that's supposed to be by and for us. So if
214
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.759
they're not doing it, you see it right now North Carolina.
215
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.639
The people are going in and doing it and by
216
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:06.600
the way, having to fight FEMA off pretty often. From
217
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:10.720
my understanding, they're not helpful at all in a lot
218
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:15.600
of instances. I see this in the veteran world. Part
219
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:19.000
of our proceeds, fifty percent of the profit of this
220
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:22.960
movie is going to go directly to help veterans. And
221
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:25.360
I've already picked out a young man. His name is
222
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:28.919
Joshua Holme, and he was injured in Iraq in two
223
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:31.759
thousand and four. Was able to walk with the help
224
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:36.279
of steel braces for many years, has a ranch that
225
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:39.600
he's building to help veterans come ill. But a year
226
00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:43.519
ago December, working on his ranch, he turned wrong and
227
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:47.399
something snapped and he's now paralyzed from the chests down.
228
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:51.399
So with the proceeds of this movie, fifty percent of
229
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:53.720
the profit is going to go to put him in
230
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:57.120
an exoskeleton and allow this forty year old young man
231
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:01.159
to walk again. The government won't do it let's step
232
00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:02.320
up and do it for them.
233
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:03.840
Wow.
234
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:09.200
Yeah, I saw that on your website and that was fascinating,
235
00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:13.400
you know just from the just from the medical perspective,
236
00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:15.960
but just the way that that was set up. I
237
00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:18.160
mean it looked like it was like a brace that
238
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:23.119
went around the abdomen, like the hip area and down.
239
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:27.799
I mean, it looked really intricate and phenomenal. Is that
240
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:30.880
something new? I mean, just do you know about it? Like,
241
00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:33.559
is it new or something new out for a.
242
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.240
Little while they're continuing to work on the technology. It's
243
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:42.640
basically an external robot that the brain is an app
