0:37 This is Undaunted Life, a man's podcast. I'm your host Kyle Thompson. Let's get into it.
0:53 Hi, guys. Today, we've got the latest installment of From the Senate with Mark Wayne Mullen. So,
0:56 he's a United States Senator representing the great state of Oklahoma. He's going to come on
1:00 here about once a month to talk about stuff that is going on in the world today. We're going to
1:03 be talking about really all the stuff going on in the air, you know, in the atmosphere. So,
1:08 the Chinese balloon, the spy balloon, and then all the other things that have been shot down,
1:12 all the rumors of UFOs and UAPs and these different things, but then also these other things that
1:17 seem to be happening. There's these train derailments that are happening all over the country. These
1:21 trains just so happen to be carrying these chemicals. There's these fires that are happening all over
1:26 place. There was another one that I saw right before we started this interview today. So, it's
1:28 kind of like, hey, what in the world is going on? And so, he gives us a little bit of an idea as to
1:32 kind of what what the actual data say and what the actual, I don't know what the real word is
1:37 in terms of what's going on. But then he also gives me a couple of theories as to what he thinks
1:41 is happening, what he thinks China is doing. And then we get into what happened last week,
1:45 which is him endorsing Donald Trump's run for the presidential election for 2024 to represent the
1:50 Republican Party. So, he came out very, very early. This was before Nikki Haley even gotten the race.
1:55 And he came out in support of Donald Trump. And so, I ask him about that. It's like, hey, it's this
1:59 early, you know, Donald Trump's kind of this wounded candidate, you know, the 15 2015 2016
2:04 shine is no longer there. So, why come out and support him? And so, we got his answer there.
2:08 But also, one thing before we get into that, this is the last time I'm going to be able to talk to
2:12 you guys before we actually do this raffle, just reminding you guys that we have a knife raffle.
2:16 We are giving away one of these custom made Blaine and Sean Stevenson knives Blaine and Sean
2:21 Stevenson. That's the father and some from Stevenson knives. They made this custom knife
2:26 specifically for the undaunted life audience. What we are going to do is we're raising money.
2:31 We're doing a raffle of this knife to raise money for undaunted life. But also, the idea for this
2:37 giveaway really morphed to where we didn't want to just support undaunted life. We also wanted to
2:42 support the local pregnancy resource center here in my town of Edmond, Oklahoma. And that is
2:46 the hope pregnancy center. So, guys, every single dollar that is donated or, you know, through this
2:51 raffle, 50% of that is going to go to support undaunted life. The other 50% is going to go directly
2:57 to saving the lives of babies from potentially being murdered in the womb. The hope pregnancy
3:02 center, they give women money. They help them find rent that they minister to them directly and
3:07 try to lead them to Christ. And they also do that with the men that get those women pregnant,
3:11 you know, the fathers of these children, they make sure they have cribs and diapers and everything.
3:15 And so, your money is going to go directly to the support of that. So, here, we need to talk a
3:20 little bit about this knife, though. So, this is their Florida Hunter. So, it normally retails
3:24 for around $300. And I got to get this right this time. The steel is not 52100 ball bearing steel.
3:30 I've been informed that it is 52100 ball bearing steel. Remember when I did the first episode of
3:36 the year when we talk about, you know, revel in the opportunities to look like an idiot? Well,
3:40 I kind of had a feeling that I was saying it wrong, but it's not 52100. It's 52100.
3:45 Ball bearing steel, that handle right there, that is their crazy fiber scales handle.
3:50 There's this beautiful, beautiful handmade leather sheath. You know, I have got, you know,
3:54 a couple of other of their knives. And this is the best sheath that I've seen from these guys.
3:58 It is an absolutely, absolutely gorgeous knife. And here, I'm going to tell you how to enter,
4:02 and then we'll get you into the interview. So, any person that donates $20 through the Undaunted
4:06 Life donation website between now and February the 23rd, that's one week from today and puts the
4:12 word knife. Very important. Put the word knife in the comment section will automatically have
4:16 their name entered into the randomized drawing for the Stevenson Florida Hunter knife. So, that's
4:20 every 20 bucks, okay? Every 20 bucks equals one spot in the raffle. So, if you donate 100 bucks,
4:26 you get your name in there five times. If you donate a thousand bucks, you get your name in the
4:29 randomized or 58 times, so on and so forth. And also, if you are a current monthly donor,
4:34 regardless of how long or how much you've been donating to Undaunted Life, I'm going to go ahead
4:38 and put your name in the randomized or twice as a thank you. But obviously, if you guys want to
4:41 put in another donation over the top of that, go ahead and do so. So, what I'm going to do is,
4:45 I'm going to likely record a video the morning of the February 23rd. I'll put the drawing on
4:50 Instagram and all that, and I'll put it here on this episode, and then I'll announce the winner
4:53 that way. But again, the donation link is in the show notes or you guys can just go to Undaunted
4:58 dot life, backslash donate, Undaunted dot life, backslash donate. Do not forget to put the word knife
5:03 in the comment section. Otherwise, I don't know that you're entering into this raffle.
5:06 But guys, I just wanted to say one last time. Thank you very much to Sean and Blaine Stevenson
5:10 from Stevenson. Nice for doing this. It's time to blow it out, guys. We would love the support
5:14 from you guys and also help us support the pregnancy resource center. But guys, without further ado,
5:19 let's get into it. Mark Wayne Mullen. Welcome back to Undaunted Life, a man's podcast.
5:24 Thank you. Appreciate it. Thanks for having me on. Sorry. I'm dressed so formal, but I'm
5:27 literally just walked off the Senate floor. How dare you dress like somebody who pretends to know
5:33 what they're doing inside of that chamber? Come on. Now, like the next time I see, I want to see
5:37 that cut off shirt that you wear when you're, you know, out in East Oklahoma in the middle of
5:41 August. That's what I want to see next time. It's not cut off. It's a wife, Peter, you know,
5:45 with a little bit of, with a little bit of coffee stain on it. I'm just saying, I want to see all
5:49 these bad tribal tattoos. Yeah, I want to see all the bad tribals that you got back in college. But
5:54 I know we always like to kick this off in a pretty low key way. But I just got to say,
5:59 like in preparation for this interview, there's some things that I'm kind of worried about. And
6:03 there are some things that the country is really worried about. And we're worried about them because
6:07 there's a lot of confusion and seemingly a lot of misdirection. And so it all started with a little
6:12 stinking balloon up in the air over Montana. And then we just kind of let it go all the way across
6:19 the country and then shoot it, you know, off the East Coast. And then we see all these reports of
6:24 other things over the weekend, these unidentified flying objects or, you know, unidentified aerial
6:29 phenomena that are being shot down and now they're being shot down with a lot of regularity.
6:33 And then we have the train derailment in Ohio and then the controlled burn. And then we have,
6:37 you know, there's a truck that overturned with chemicals in Arizona and another one in Texas.
6:42 And there's all this weird stuff happening all at once. And the people that love this stuff,
6:46 Mark Wayne, all the conspiracy people, all those extreme people, they're loving this right now
6:50 because they're like, Hey, we're distracted by the Super Bowl. We're distracted by Sam Smith.
6:54 We're distracted by balloons up in the sky. But I know you've been briefed on some things and
6:59 obviously you can't tell us everything and there's certain senators on certain committees that have
7:02 gotten even more briefings. But can you just tell us what the world is going on?
7:05 Well, I would I'd be willing to say that, and by the way, my Wi-Fi is just sketchy as it can be.
7:13 And I apologize about that. I won't see if we can do something different here in a second.
7:17 Government can't do anything right, including Wi-Fi. That's okay. We'll give you a pass on this one.
7:21 Yeah, it's pretty rough. But so I, you know, I said on Senate Armed Services and our briefings
7:28 are pretty high. I've set in probably a classified briefing on this every day that we've that we've
7:35 had an issue going on, except on the weekends. We have we have been constantly being briefed on this.
7:43 So the balloons, most of the with the I'll tell you my theory on the balloons. Okay.
7:50 This isn't classified. This is my theory. So I'm not sharing any information because honestly,
7:56 sometimes the way our classified briefings go, you can turn on Fox and CNN, watch both of them,
8:03 and you'll figure out a little bit of the truth. And then you watch CNBC, and you'll figure out the
8:08 lies. And so it's one of those things that you really have to have to dissect yourself when
8:16 they're trying when they're trying to give you the the facts. They're very vague. One thing we do
8:24 know for a fact is that the Chinese balloon wasn't a mistake. One thing we know for a fact is it
8:33 wasn't drifting. It was being it was being directed on where to go. That's not that we know for a
8:41 fact. We know it had information to be able to look at and send that information back to China.
8:52 We were able to block that. We knew a sending a signal. We have the ability to block them from
8:57 being able to send it back. We know that it had a thermal seeking device on it where it could pick
9:05 up thermal imaging. And so it was a it was a balloon that we were used to seeing. This isn't
9:13 something that was that was unknown to us. We we've seen them send these same type of balloons out.
9:21 And and so what what it was looking for is we don't know. They allowed it to travel across the
9:28 across the lower 48 because according to them, they they didn't want to shoot it down for a
9:38 risk of harm because they didn't feel like it was going to harm anybody. The thing is is that it
9:43 came across Alaska. It had they had plenty of time to shoot it down there. It came through
9:48 Canada, very sparse areas, which is very unlikely for it to cause any any type of structural or harm.
9:55 By the time it gets to the east coast, yeah, you probably can't shoot it down. You know,
10:00 Montana. Yeah, pretty pretty low population. You know, it is going through the Dakotas.
10:08 Very low population. You probably find some areas to hang down. I mean, your debris
10:13 your debris estimated debris trail would be roughly two miles. You can find two miles
10:21 of of areas that you're you're not going to have any houses. Right. So you could have chose to do
10:26 that. We couldn't figure out why they let it go through. We ultimately decided to shoot it down
10:32 in Atlanta or on the Atlantic coast. I mean, and the Atlantic Ocean and East Coast. And
10:40 it was in fairly shallow water. I mean, it was around, you know, average death around 45 feet deep.
10:46 And so we're recovering it. The thing is, was these other blooms connected to it.
10:50 There have an all types of speculation to it. This is where I get into speculation. We don't know
10:56 yet those blooms were connected to it. We haven't received any of that information yet. We're still
11:01 in the recovery phase of recovering the three much, much, much smaller blooms that we shot down.
11:09 And when I say much smaller, they weren't flying at the same altitude. The big blank of the big
11:15 bloom was was flying at a very high altitude. The smaller blooms were flying at a much lower
11:20 altitude. And, and let's just I use this for a reference of size. I'm not referencing the
11:26 size. I want to say it for a reference of size, right? So let's say the the big bloom was as
11:32 big as a as a as a football field. The small blooms would be the size of a
11:39 maybe two large RVs. So much difference in size wise. So here's what my theory is on this.
11:51 The number one threat that we have to the United States is China. Hands down, it's not Russia.
11:57 It's not North Korea. It's not Iran. It's not Afghanistan. It's not even ISIS or kite anymore.
12:05 It's China. And they know that they know that they're number one adversaries and they feel
12:11 that same way about us. An advantage that we have over China is that we can be energy independent
12:17 when we don't have a person in the White House that is trying to take away that advantage.
12:24 Right. So what we don't have an advantage of is population base.
12:27 Right. They have a much larger population. That means they have a lot more people to throw out
12:31 if we break into a war. Geographically, we have an advantage. We're much harder to get to
12:37 than they are that we don't have the same neighbors that they have. There's not as many areas to go
12:42 into. But what they and they have a they had the real rare earth minerals that we actually need
12:50 to make these batteries that some administrations want to push us to. But in the time of war,
12:55 what you have to have is you got to have a strong energy supply. You see it in every war, every
13:02 country. They don't have that. They have stockpiles, but they don't have an abundant of energy.
13:09 So if we were to go to war, they would have to learn how to disrupt that. And the biggest way
13:15 to disrupt that is take out a major supply that wouldn't readily be easy to reroute or put back
13:24 online. And that's our pipelines coming out of Alaska. They provide a tremendous amount of petroleum
13:31 products to the rest of the United States. And if they were to disrupt that, they could take out
13:39 at any given time 20% of our supply. I mean, that's huge. That's a huge hit. The reason why we are
13:47 still buying oil from Russia is because we haven't been able to replace that. We could replace it
13:53 ourselves, but because of the administration's rules and what they've done, they know that we
13:59 can't replace that yet. However, in a time of war, I would imagine all those spicots would be
14:05 turned back on. And so they're going to have to take out a strategic supply of petroleum products
14:12 and remove it from the market and cause almost a panic and they'll hurt our supply chain.
14:18 So why is that important? Well, if you look at the way the balloon flight path was and understanding
14:26 that they're controlling it, understand that there's a Wi-Fi signal off of it, understand that there
14:32 is a thermal seeking on it, understand that it came across Alaska and Canada made an abrupt turn,
14:40 had it straight down to the lower 48, and then it just kind of drifted across. If you look at it,
14:49 it's very similar to a pipeline, a major pipeline we have. And you go, well, you can get a map of the
14:55 pipeline. Yes, you can get a map of the pipeline, but maps are not always accurate. But if you are
15:01 in the middle of winter, which we are, and then you have a petroleum product that creates heat
15:07 that's going through tundra and frozen ground, it's very easy to get up thermal sensing. And you can
15:14 map it very, very, very easy. And then also, all the valves are controlled by Wi-Fi. So if you're
15:22 able to know where the signals are, and you're able to grab something off of it, you can disrupt
15:27 that supply chain, not necessarily by having to blow it up, because that would cause big issues,
15:32 but by just attacking the valves, knowing where those valves are. And so I think they were mapping
15:39 out for future purposes are a best way to disrupt us and take somewhere around 20% of the supply
15:49 chain for trolling products going to our refineries down in a second, and then constantly cause
15:54 that a depression. It's not like you're just going to build a build a secondary pipeline
15:58 and get that to us. You know, if they disrupt a pipeline out of coming out in North Dakota,
16:07 we're putting it on rail, we're putting it on truck, and we're still bringing it down.
16:11 You don't have that option coming on Alaska. And I think the other bloons, the other objects,
16:16 were also doing roughly the same thing, except they're moving at a much lower rate
16:22 and a different rate, and they were more adrift at a lower altitude. So that's what my theory is
16:27 behind it. That is not something I received in briefing. It's just, I've been on the Energy
16:34 Commerce Committee for a long time, and then I was also on Intel. And one of my
16:38 things I looked at on Intel, I was over the energy sector and vulnerabilities.
16:44 And that's been a point of vulnerability for us. And so when I saw that and I saw the
16:49 balloon that was immediately where my head went, I thought, hmm, that's what they're doing.

17:22 Yeah, I think even looking at it from our side, it was like, oh, it started out being funny,
17:28 like, oh, it's a balloon. And then it was like, wait, they're not going to take care of this thing,
17:31 and they just floated all the way across. And then obviously, you know this, and we've seen this
17:34 a lot since COVID, the distrust for government and for any of our, you know, people that are in charge
17:40 has really gotten to an incredibly low level. And you know, that obviously you've been in
17:44 Congress for a little bit. And so that really has kind of tinged the way that we're seeing that
17:48 situation. I have more questions there, but we go ahead. Well, let me just tell this, this is a
17:52 different type of policy to there's no way the Biden administration would ever shut that down
17:57 if the public outcry to shoot it down wouldn't have been so great. There's no way they would ever
18:02 write it down. Why? The difference between Obama and Trump and Trump and Biden, Obama was a pleaser,
18:12 right, appease the person, don't rock the boat bow down to them. Oh, tell them how good they are,
18:19 you know, be nice. Trump was screw that piece through strength. We don't we shouldn't fear us,
18:26 but you should respect us. And if you disrespect us, then we're going to slap you across the face.
18:31 Biden has brought in the appeasement policies back. And in China and all of our other adversaries
18:39 know this darn good and well. I mean, let's just look at Afghanistan. When in Afghanistan,
18:47 Al Qaeda decided to to attack us after Trump got in office. Trump's response was is you drop
18:55 the largest bomb called Moab, the mother of all bombs that's made out of made in McAllister, Oklahoma.
19:01 He dropped it on them, which was the largest bomb since World War II,
19:04 just to prove a point to say, I'm not joking. Don't mess with me. When you had when you had
19:13 Russia assist in Syria, using biological warfare on in a through 50 gallon drums and taking out a
19:27 whole bunch of Kurds, you had you had you had immediately, which by the way, at that time, Russia
19:34 controlled the air spade over over Syria. You had Trump's go, Hmm, okay, well, here's what's going
19:40 to happen. And he gave him a heads up as we were headed to the air space or the airfield to which
19:46 they took off from and bombed it and totally flattened that airport. That was his response.
19:52 Those are two responses that he did within the first six months that he was in office.
19:57 And everything went quiet. Yeah, North Korea went quiet. They were no longer shooting ballistic
20:02 missiles into the Pacific. China wasn't being a threat to us. Russia had shut down their rhetoric
20:10 and and those same tests have been put on Biden. And they realized real quick, this is the new
20:17 Obama administration, but they've they they even lean harder into a piece. When people will they'll
20:22 kind of cackle at peace through strength. But then when you see peace through strength work,
20:26 then they try to make it. Oh, it's it's this or it's that. But certainly you don't get peace
20:30 through not strength. Like that's not something that never really happens. But you bring up Trump
20:34 there. And so obviously last week you made some news because you came out and you endorsed
20:38 Donald Trump as the Republican representative to go into the presidential election for 2024.
20:43 Now at the time he was the only Republican that had declared for the race as of right now as we're
20:48 sitting here recording this Nikki Haley is the other. So there are two people. But we assume
20:52 that a lot more people are going to get in. We can assume that maybe a Rubio or a Ted Cruz
20:57 or a Tim Scott, certainly a governor to Santa's. A lot of people are wanting him to get in. So I
21:02 guess I understand why you did it because this is a guy that endorsed you and helps you win your
21:06 race. And obviously there's there's there's loyalty there. But also you believe that he's the best
21:10 pick. My question I guess is what outside of just why did you endorse him is why did you endorse him
21:16 before we got to see any of the other candidates? Because what we do know for certain is that he's
21:21 already lost to Biden once. And this was before January six and think what you want to think about
21:25 January six. But the a good portion of the American populace the the voting block in America thinks
21:31 that that is at least somewhat his responsibility. So he already lost to a dead guy that didn't even
21:36 campaign once. And now I don't know that we have any of that shine left over from 2015 2016.
21:43 He's kind of a known entity. So it seemed a little early even though I understand the endorsement.
21:48 But I just want to kind of get a sense of where you're at in brain space with it. So two things.
21:51 One, I consider President Trump a friend, not not just a presidential candidate that was the
22:01 President United States that politically helped me. When my son got hurt, which many of us, you know,
22:07 we talked about right when he got hurt in the dramatic brain injury wrestling three years ago.
22:14 Trump took a very special interest. I mean, he came to he came to Vegas for California, saw my son
22:18 talk talk to him almost weekly. Would always call and visit with us. He offered to give us any
22:24 assistance, even financial assistance, which we didn't need that. We didn't take it. But he offered
22:29 to do everything for us. And I still talk to him this day with I didn't want to know, Hey, how's my
22:32 boy doing? And so we developed a friendship. So it's a little bit further than that. But let's talk
22:38 politics behind this thing. We're going to be in a very dangerous spot, even more so than we are
22:44 than we are today. And in two years from now, we're going to be in a very, very different position.
22:49 If we're not already in a conflict with China, it's going to be bubbling. And the economy, who knows
22:56 what it's going to be like, who knows what the stock market is going to be like, who knows what's
23:00 happening with with, you know, with the workforce, who knows what's happening with, with supply chains,
23:06 who knows what's happening with energy, and the cost of it at the time. But I know it's not going
23:12 to get better. And and I'm not, I'm not willing to wait two more years for someone else to figure
23:18 out the job. We know that Trump's policies worked. We can say what you want about his rhetoric. But
23:26 we know that it worked. We know that it was effective. We know that he put America first. No one can
23:34 doubt that he loved this country. No one can say that. You may not like his behavior, but you can't
23:40 question his love for this country in a sacrifice that he's made. Most presidents go to president,
23:46 go into the presidency and get rich when they leave. He's lost a fortune because of his desire
23:51 to serve this country. No one can can debate the respect he had around the world with world leaders.
23:58 And in the military, the guys and gals, it's going to be defending all of us,
24:04 loveding. And and you it's important for them to love their leader and trust their leader and
24:10 know that he's got their back. If they're going to lay down their lives for us, and we're going to
24:14 ask them to do suicidal things. And and so I want a known proven leader. And so I didn't have to
24:24 set there and look and say who else should come in the field because that's who I want there.
24:30 Nikki Haley, I'm not saying anything bad about her. That's great. I don't know how she gets there.
24:34 Trump's base isn't leaving him. Trump's base, which is the Republican Party. He's never dropped
24:41 below, I think, 52% with the Republican Party. And they have thrown everything they can possibly
24:48 throw at this guy. I mean, they've thrown the book at him. So where's the path for other people
24:53 to get there? You're not going to go through him because you're not going to chopping down.
24:58 You're not going tearing down. They've already done everything to him. So where are you going
25:02 to go around him? What's the edge? So let's say his lowest points, 52%. That means 48% of
25:08 population is still with the Republican Party, primary voters, right? It's still, where are we
25:15 going to go? Well, that 48%, they don't know that they're going to go with Nikki Haley. They don't
25:20 know if they're going to go with just just Santis. They don't know if they're going to go with Rubio.
25:23 They don't know if they're going to go to Cruz. But I know they don't not one person has all 48%.
25:28 So that narrow window to go around what lane are you going to get in and drive? That's the thing
25:33 about a primary. You got to find your base. You got to find that lane that you own. And Trump
25:40 already owns that. So another reason why we decided to go ahead and go out there too is say,
25:46 let's start closing the door here. Let's make sure that that we pick off one state at a time
25:53 and say, okay, we're going to take Oklahoma off the market. It's not at play, right? Nikki,
25:59 you're not going to get anybody here. And then I really think it makes it hard for people like
26:05 to Santis to get in the race, talking politics to you again. If you get in and you challenge Trump
26:11 and you're not successful, which I don't believe they will be,
26:18 then it's almost runt your ability to run for office down the road. Because the only way you're
26:25 going to be able to go around to him also is you got to try tearing him down. So you got to attacking.
26:29 And that means when you're attacking, his base is not going to come back to you. They're not going
26:34 to forget that. So to Santis, even you take someone like the Santis, just Santis has to make a really
26:41 tough decision. Do I go ahead and run? The Santis is pretty young. Do I go ahead and run?
26:47 Or why don't I just wait six years? Because in four years, when he's in two years when he's
26:53 elected in office, he's lame duck immediately. So it's going to be an open primary at the end of his
27:00 term. So the Santis would be better off then, in my opinion, is to stop and wait. He's got two
27:08 more years after the election. So he's got four years. He just won reelection as governor. He's got
27:12 so after the presidential election, he's got two years. Excuse me. He's got two years left to be
27:19 governor. And then he's going to come out of office. Well, that's perfect timing because that's
27:25 right after the midterm election. And he's going to have two years to campaign for presidency. So if
27:30 I'm wrong, that's what I'm looking at. I'm being a little bit more strategic looking at this moving
27:36 forward. So with that in mind, I know you got about 60 seconds before you need to roll.
27:41 Do you think if somebody does create the lane for themselves where they're able to go around
27:45 Trump and they get the nomination for the Republican Party for the 2024 presidential election,
27:51 do you think Trump will get in line with the rest of the party and try to send his support
27:56 to that person's base? Oh, I don't I can't answer that for him. I think it depends. There's a lot of
28:02 stuff that that goes into. I would think he's he's loyal to he's loyal to the to the American
28:08 people and the American people make that decision. I know he's not going to I know he's not going
28:14 to want Biden or who I think why should be the Democrat nominee is going to be a keen. I think
28:20 a keen Jeffries is going to be the Democrat nominee. I don't think there's any chance in the world
28:24 Biden runs and Harris will want to run. But she is disliked more than him. And I think a keen
28:31 Jeffries the the leader of the Democrat or the Democrat party in the house now. I think he is
28:38 their nominee. I think they're thinking he's the next Obama. Well, that would certainly be
28:41 interesting. I know there's been a lot of names that have been flowed out there. We don't really
28:44 know what that's going to look like. It's going to be a long couple of years. But as always, we just
