Good morning. Welcome to Brandenburg News Network. I am Donna Brandenburg and it's the nineteenth day of March twenty twenty five. Welcome to our show today. Today we have Liberty Essentials with Karen the Riveter, Ralphie IT guy and Bill Moore is back, which we're all happy for. And we'll be talking about lots of things today, like how our nation is really being ruled, the fraud that we're seeing out there. And there's some big news on that front. I started talking about it a while ago, but I think we need to look at the actual mechanisms that they're doing to defraud the United States of America with how they're managing our money. And it's their fault. They've done it with the pensions. They've done it with mortgages. They've done it everywhere. And I got to say, I'm real happy with the way Doge is going after that. We need Doge in Michigan, and I think we're starting it. So maybe it's been going on for a while. But anyhow, morning, guys. How you doing? Good morning. Good morning. What's happening in Karen, Ralph, and Bill world? I'm wanting to go to some greenhouses and get some flowers and plants. I want spring. And I'm spending way too much time online because I'm waiting for that. It's been really interesting the last couple of days. What have you been seeing out there? Well, positive things happening. I think there's some, I think Trump is communicating some encouragement to us if we're paying attention to it. I posted about that yesterday. He has not forgotten about the election. And I think he hears us. Excuse me. He hears us. When we're we're like, OK, but all these wonderful things are happening. But what about the election? You know, there are some of us who have not forgotten and don't want him to forget. And he's letting us know that he has not yet forgotten that either. And that's a really good thing to hear from him because he's been talking about all these other things that are just minor in the grand scheme. But or seen that way, as long as we don't have proper elections, right? But a couple of times yesterday, he mentioned that. So I think that's really cool. All kinds of things happening on the world scale with wars and peace between various countries and things happening. It all seems to be scripted. So if you look at it from that perspective, you don't get too emotionally involved, which I keep hammering that drum, pounding that drum. Don't get too emotional on certain things. You know, get emotional about things that really matter, things that cause harm to people. But don't get emotional about the news of political activities and things. actions and events that are designed to get you emotional. If you feel triggered, take a step back and start thinking about why. What's the narrative here? And think of everything that's happening in terms of a narrative, which is why I like that Burning Bright show. Keep you objective about it. And you can stay in an even keel or be even happy, as I generally am, about what's going on. And you can see, what is Trump talking about today? Instead of, well, I don't like what he just said about so-and-so. I think he's wrong or he's right and I should get angry about whatever. A lot of times Trump is playing everybody. And so you don't want to be one of those people that he's playing. So pay attention and you'll figure out, oh, he's not playing me. Not really. He's trying to be smarter and learn to grow up a little bit. Bill, what's going on in Bill's world? Well, you all know I was out last week. Missed you. A lot. The camera angle you see, not much has changed. uh, if I were to flip my camera angle around, you'd see that half of my desk is actually covered in plastic still. Um, cause I've got drywallers in here and all sorts of other stuff going on, building new rooms and such for, uh, for the additions to the family. Um, uh, so that's, that's what's physically going on. And besides, uh, besides my normal work and every other day fights that I've got, um, know it's it's one day at a time is about about what we manage around here currently well yeah you've got a lot of kids and it's like you know that is such the the most important job on the planet is raising our children and it's a bit that's a busy time that's such a busy time ralph what's going on with you oh like like karen said that you know watching watching the news has been interesting lately I've been really getting a bang out of all of the stuff that's been coming out of the European countries, basically deciding that just watching the number of times that they're like ha ha we're going to cancel our orders with the big military industrial complex companies from the US and we're going to start building our own stuff and become less dependent on you guys ha ha take that you stupid Americans and then looking at the Americans responding like yes this is what we've been wanting for decades we don't have to fund you anymore So I'm going to read something. I read it on my TikTok video this morning. I try to put one out in the morning before we get started. This mortgage, the mortgage fraud that's going on, it's been talked about for a long time. Peter Berninger, he's in my top ten favorite researchers. And I think we need to talk about this a little bit because I really do believe that they're setting us up for a total crisis. economic crash that's going to be, if I had to look forward and say, I really think this is the way it's going to go. If there's something that's disrupts it, I'm going to be really surprised, but I think we're going to see a financial collapse at some point. I don't know when, Don't know what's going to exactly lead up on it, but we sure are queued up for this. So be sitting down. Wouldn't it be terrible if the plans from the central banking system and all of these bankers that have been in place for, you know, and working forward for a couple of centuries, wouldn't it be terrible if somehow those went sideways? Bingo, you hit it on the head. And so honestly, I've been praying for an economic collapse. Now everybody's going to say, Donna, you're nuts. But no, I'm not. And I'll tell you why. It's not going to hurt us as bad as it will hurt them. We know how to work together and take care of our families and our friends and rally the troops and just not be psychopathic jerks that only take from others, right? We'll get in together. We'll figure this out. And we have always had the power to write this. But them, they're parasites. What does a parasite need? A parasite needs a host. Guess what? We're the host. They're the parasites. The central banking system goes down or there's a collapse of some sort. Fantastic. It's going to be a little bit bumpy for a while. Smart chickens out there are preparing for it ahead. ahead of time just sort of like I think the little toilet paper nonsense that went on went to tell everybody hey don't live day to day make sure you've got a few extra things in your house in case things go wrong you don't want to be stuck with half a roll of toilet paper in your house and all of a sudden not be able to buy it for two months and that goes with food too so we'll get this anyhow Peter Berninger said, you know, truly be sitting down. This is bad, really bad, really, really bad pensions. Now I've talked about the pensions in the past because this is what happened to the Central States Teamsters pension years ago. And I was involved in this. Okay. They literally, it was the pension managers that looted their own pension and left the pension broke. And then what they did is they came back on, the contractors who had worked with the Teamsters and decided, oh, yes, even though you paid your fair share, more than your fair share, even so, what got written in the ERISA Act was that anyone that had interaction with that on the employer side, not the government, not anybody, was on the hook to make up the deficit in that pension no matter where it went, no matter who looted it. And it was the pension managers that looted it away from the people that had paid into it. That's what happened. And then they came back on the employers and said, guess what? You guys are going to have to bring this back up to plum. You know how many, many people were just financially destroyed over this because you couldn't even, even if they bankrupted your company, it didn't make any difference. They come after you personally. And that's the damage where they arisen. And I hate to tell you that if they bust these pensions with all these unfunded liabilities, which is in like about one hundred and fifty six trillion dollars. They come back on you and I. We are on the hook for this. One hundred percent. So here we go. The states have put everyone's house. Think about this and listen carefully. The states have put everyone's house up as collateral on bonds that they leverage twenty to one. This means they borrowed twenty million dollars for every one million dollar they had in tax revenue found in Texas, Florida, Maryland. I'm going to tell you it's in every state. I know it's in Michigan, though he's not putting it out there. What state and local governments have done is borrow twenty to one against your home property tax revenue, which means they claimed ownership of your taxes and tax revenue. They've been fraudulently inflating home values, forty percent over value even for just by just putting a few thousand dollars on a spreadsheet. I want you to think about this. That means that they are randomly valuing real estate properties. I've known this for a long time. When you're when your township and such keeps raising your property value. They're not based on actual values. They're putting an estimate on it, and if they estimate one up and then another and another, it keeps the market going up, the values of the properties, thereby increasing your taxes. They're price setting. So effectively, the effect is fraudulent, dramatic increases in tax appraisal values, where, of course, your property tax bill skyrockets. A government entity such as a school wants a new building, bam, no problem, is they use the tax streams from all your homes, say it is one million dollars to go out and borrow twenty million, highly leveraged. And where does the money come from? Your pensions. Now, rinse and repeat. Remember, so they're going to bust the pensions this way too. And guess who's going to have to pay for it? They're going to legally say it's every single citizen who's a taxpayer. for this scam going on, for playing with our money. So now, let's see, rinse and repeat. Remember that rates going up based on fraudulently inflated appraisals due to made up comps, where now instead of one million dollar tax revenue, there's one point four. What does the state and local governments do? Go out and borrow more money using leverage bonds. Where is this money coming from? Your pensions. including teacher pensions. This is what I've been talking about in a long time. You get a pension manager that breaks a pension, that busts a pension, just like they did with Teamsters. It went back on the employer. Guess what? They've actually claimed ownership of your property effectively And now I'm going to move this over into the government by dummies, ask my tax, and say, hmm, why do they want to stop property tax without a plan to move those tax dollars to something that's already been cut? Because you don't own your property. So who's going to end up paying the tax bills? not them even though they own it they're trying to get rid of the tax liabilities so that they fully are not on the hook for the dollars borrowed bam this is what these bastards have been doing they are literally and they just admitted to it they just admitted that to owning your house your land and idiots that are out there supporting acts my tax is also cutting it a liability that they have for owning the property. Wakey, wakey, everyone. Lines are literally slitting your throat and the throats of every single taxpaying American out there. I've been trying to tell everybody this. Because it's hard to understand when you have these people that are so evil, it takes more than a headline to understand what they're doing. Which means, is Carla Wagner involved in it? I don't know. Is she a useful idiot? I don't know. I don't know which way it's going to go, but anybody that's doing this sort of thing are involved in it, whether intentionally or not. They're all involved in it, which means your townships are involved in it because they've also been jumping the evaluation of your properties. Look at what they've done with raising the state at equalized value and such. They're literally bumping up the taxes, the tax base to do whatever they want as they steal your properties. Nobody said a thing. Oh, and that's the way they work in many, many other measures as well. I mean, the CIA back decades ago, the director of the CIA, said that our disinformation campaign will be complete when everything the American people believe is false. And that all boils down to the same phrases that's listed in Hosea four, six, where my people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge. We don't. we as americans for the most part don't understand we don't comprehend what our government is supposed to look like and therefore they accept and submit themselves to tyrannical control because they see it as good right an evil ruler will destroy his own nations to rule over the acid right common phrase um and that's exactly what they do they take from the people and then rent it back out to them. And it's not just your property. It's almost every luxury that you have, every contract you sign with any sort of big companies. It's energy. It's our energy. It's our mortgages. And they lease it back out to you. You rightfully don't own anything unless you have the knowledge to do so. We have reinvented serfdom. We sure have. And we funded it. We have been the ones that have been funding this. Nowhere in our government do they have the authority to claim ownership of anything. Understand that. The government does not own anything. They cannot. It is not one of their authorities. Anything that they claim ownership to is rightfully the people's. When you look at it that way, why are they taxing you on something that you own? Right. And there is nowhere in any of our rightful law or constitutions that provide for any sort of direct taxation to the people. Let's go into this a little further to explain how bad this is. Do they have the right to tax industry for inventory tax? When that just-in-time crap came out. No, they don't. They're taxing you on something you already own. And the way that they did it was basically to strip it out, to disadvantage you for not being prepared, honestly. And it was part of tearing down the nation. Do they have the right to do that? No, they do not have the right to do that, in my opinion. And they don't have the right to demand that you put in paperwork to comply with their stupid oversight, administrative oversight. They're literally taking your time. They have no right to do this. It even comes in the theft of your time. It's not just your money. It's your time. When they accuse you of being in violation of something and you have to respond to it, they've just stolen your time. Time is property. Time is property. Time is yours. It's not theirs to take or demand that you respond. You want to know something? They demanded that, this is funny, somebody brought it up yesterday, that every single person running for office now, this is what these bastards have done. that you turn in a personal financial statement. This went into being last year, and I think February or May. It was between one of it. It was voted in, and the legislature voted this in. Do you want to know why? Because they want to know how much money people who are running have so they can figure out how to sap honest people out of every dollar they have and take it and know what the target is. and who the high-value targets are to parasitically take away from them and destroy their lives so they're no longer a threat. So you know what I did? I was like, a letter came to me, and I'm like, knock yourself out. I'm not going to comply. And I still haven't complied. And if they go ahead and try to sue me on this, I'm going to push this thing into the point of pain. So you're saying you're the best noncomplier who's ever noncomplied in the history of noncompliance. That's right. I'm the best noncomplier who's ever noncomplied in the history of the United States of America. I'm not going to comply. And they haul me in on this. I will make it. I will make the biggest because this is it. This is stealing your time even to respond to these claims. They're papering us to death. They don't even have the right. I mean, let's go past the mortgages. Let's go back to the structure of this whole thing. And people are going in on this. Anthony Hudson is running right now. Guess who he's promoting? X My Tax. Let's go ahead, throw a headline out to mislead people because we're not intelligent enough or we don't get to the bottom of the problem enough to actually, what is involved in this? You got Carla Wagner, who's a real estate agent. Of course, she wants to sell more real estate. So she's going to go and get involved in this. And it was rumored, and I'm going to just give myself a disclaimer here, Okay, fantastic. That's fantastic. I think everybody should check this out just to see if I'm right on this. And I might be, I might not be, but it was a rumor. And there's my disclaimer. And then you've got Anthony Hudson, who everything that I've found on this guy is he's involved in development type stuff, not a truck driver. He's involved in, from what I can see, in development and in advising people of how Well, that goes right back into the system. That's another leg of the, you know, another tentacle of the beast, which makes me really, really suspicious at that point. Nah, knock them right out of the running for somebody who should be in position of power, in my opinion. So... so that it actually kind of it balances out because we shouldn't be taxed for basically leases on our land has to be done the right way right now they are absolving the bankers of the taxes why they're going after property taxes because they've just admitted they own your property but the problem though though is that if you're just if you're just getting rid of one tax and shifting all of that to other taxes, because that's one of the big things there is, oh, this is an easy solution because the revenue for the municipality doesn't go down. Well, that means you've shifted those taxes. You're not eliminating a tax, you're shifting a tax. And that's where we need to be eliminating the taxes. And the only way to do that is to also eliminate the expenditure. Stop the politicians from spending your money that they don't own. Which is I think what DOGE is doing. I think I'm going to start DOGE for the state of Michigan. Yes. Because you know what? That's what needs to happen. They're doing it at the federal government level. They can't do it so much in the state unless it's a federal crime, which there are enough federal crimes that they should be able to do that. But we need to start DOGE in the state of Michigan. I'm going to start DOGE. I might even use a method that I absolutely detest. But you can't get anybody to get off their behinds to get involved in this stuff and do the heavy lifting. You know, there's a few of us that are actually out there researching and finding stuff behind the scenes. But we need to get people out there where they're actually doing personal lawsuits against these people. I'm going to start Doge. That's it. I'm going to start Doge in Michigan. When you brought up to the the inventory taxes and just in time, and I'm not sure how how much people realize how much just in time was driven by those inventory taxes. Because if you have a business and you have inventory on the shelves, there's a tax on that yearly on that inventory where they basically just take part of the value of it. And that really caused a lot of the, that was one of the primary causes of just in time becoming as successful as it was. And why we've got all of these terribly fragile supply chains is that are dependent on overseas suppliers. It used to be you could get ahead of your production and stock a whole bunch of something that you were going to produce and keep it in a warehouse and then sell it. And if there was a disruption in the supply chain or you had to change to a different supplier for quality reasons or something like that, or you wanted to redesign your product for better quality, you had a little bit of a buffer there that you could sell out of. And it also meant that you could handle parts on a much larger scale. They talk about all the, you know, we've got all of this, the carbon going into transportation. Well, guess what? You know where that started is with the inventory taxes, because you used to be able to use trains to move stuff around by the train car load. and keep a buffer there of your parts, buy it in bulk. And now it costs you every year to do that. And so you can't do the shipments in large quantities anymore without paying inventory taxes on them. So they've gone to shipping everything by truck because that way they can do like the LTL freight and haul, you know, less than a full semi load or, Even just one semi-load of parts instead of having several train cars going in the same direction to the same place. And then that also goes into the YRO of our products that we buy anymore. Why is the quality not built to last? Well, what's the incentive? Yeah, what's the incentive there? You know, if they built something to last, they can't get ahead of production on it. Tim Jones, You know it when you could get ahead of production on something that would last and fill an entire warehouse with something that would last because you knew it wasn't going to just sit there and disintegrate in six months. Tim Jones, There was an incentive there now what's the incentive you might as well build something that only last six months because you're going to produce it you're going to kick it out the door and you can't store it anyway, so who cares. Why don't we build things to last so we don't have to throw things away so quickly? Yesterday morning, one of the things that I think people may have missed is that Trump said he wants coal. He is starting to... He didn't go into detail about it, but he wants coal. He's starting to produce coal in the U.S. I guess they had Diminish that and he is going to increase it. There you go. What say you, Bill? I have a hard time with that, Karen. You got to realize it was his family that went after a coal miner down in Virginia by the name of Don Blankenship and set him up for the murder of twenty three of his employees by changing the EPA regulations on the fly. It was literally the Trump family that set that man up. And that was back in twenty sixteen. I think he was running for U.S. Senate to replace cocaine. Mitch McConnell. And they set him up and destroyed his campaign publicly across every news network in that area. And he was just a coal miner. I don't look at words. I look at actions. And a lot of people don't know that story. But that was the only man in history who spent any amount of time in a federal prison and could only be convicted of a misdemeanor charge. But to this day, the official report from the government is that man killed twenty three of his employees. I don't know the story on that. Gotta look it up. He ran for president back in twenty twenty. And he made that very public, but nobody would cover it. How long was he in prison? What was that? How long was he in prison? I don't remember. It wasn't a terrible long time, but they put him away, I think, for a year just to destroy that campaign. And he would have smacked down McConnell in a heartbeat. He had all of the poll numbers down. that were being reported even publicly across media, he had the poll numbers from the people. Do you personally know him? I do. I do. I actually campaigned with him in the state of Michigan in twenty twenty. Let's get let's get him on. I'd love to have him talk here about what he what happened. Yeah, it'd be a good one. He has a little bit more insight to that. I don't know where he stands on all the issues, but I did support him in that at least. Yeah. I mean, you get down to the root cause. We can sit here and highlight the problems and everything that's going on and some of the things that we see as being done to correct them. And I don't think they go near far enough. You know where I stand on Doge. In my opinion, our doge is the U.S. Constitution that they swore an oath to, and it's the people's job to hold them accountable to that. It's like doing an internal investigation. We set people up inside the government to investigate inside the government and expect that somehow that though they're gaining billions of dollars by being there. And Elon Musk is one of them. He gets, I don't know, thirty eight billion dollars a year in government subsidies through all of his companies. Right. You look at the attorney generals that were just fired from numerous, numerous departments. Look at what they were doing in the last five years. They were investigating Elon Musk's companies for misuse of government subsidies or government money. And all of a sudden they were the first ones to go when he took over Doge. I mean, that's a red flag. That's a huge problem in my eyes. I don't trust anything that's going on there. But I mean, the root cause of it, it goes back to what the psalmist said in Psalms nine, you know, the wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God. I speak about this all the time. We have forgot our roots as Americans. We have no idea what our government was founded on or what it's supposed to look like anymore because we haven't taken the time to understand what the founding fathers and framers had done for us in giving everything that they had, read the last line of Declaration of Independence, giving everything that they had to serve their country for the use of their posterity. Most of them didn't see the end outcome of what they fought for. And here we are sitting on the possession that was bought by their blood, and the majority of Americans want to submit to the tyranny that's been trying to overthrow it for a hundred and fifty years. It is insane to me. It really is. Donna, I think you've been in a couple meetings where the question's been asked, especially in political parties. You get involved, and they say, well, what's your background? Because most people come in, and you used to be Democrats. You used to be Republicans. You used to be this. You used to be that. All of a sudden, your eyes opened up, and you saw it. Well, I was one of the guys that didn't want to take part in any of it. All the way through my younger years, I saw the problem. I didn't want to be a part of it. I'd rather be one of the eighties rebels. right, for the wrong reasons back then. But I understood that there was nothing good that can come out of me taking a place in anything that I saw going on. It wasn't until my thirties when I actually woke up and said, well, I understand that I don't want to take part in it, But now I realize that I have to do something about it to stop it, lest my children end up being part of the same system that I grew up. That's the point. That's the key. I mean, what is the purpose of government? It's a service contract. Well, I would say the very purpose of government is justice and judgment, right? Government is force. It only understands force. And it should be established, as this nation was originally, on proper justice and judgment. Read through a lot of people, a lot of churches even, a lot of even jellyfish. They like to use Romans thirteen. Right. Well, we got to submit to the higher powers no matter who they are. Right. Romans thirteen one. Right. But they don't take the time to actually understand the rest of the context. Because Romans thirteen, when now Paul is talking to it, to the to the Christians in Rome at the time. Right. Because they're going through persecution. They just kicked out all the Jews that they had just seen causing problems in the country. They eradicated them out of Rome and sent them to other various parts of the nation at the time. So they're just left with the Gentiles there in Rome. And he's writing to them when the Jews finally come back, because now you have a conflict between the Jews and Gentiles there. And he establishes what the government is supposed to look like. Just in Romans thirteen, small, short little chapter. And a couple of the things, when he says rulers are not a terror to good works, in verse three, they're not a terror to good works, but to the evil. In verse four, he says he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid, for he beareth not the sword in vain. Now we're talking about kings here, and I'll clear this up in a minute. And he says in five, wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. Look at how this is set up, right? He's saying submit to higher authorities. What are the higher authorities? They're there because they're a terror to good works. They're there as a minister of God to thee for good. And they don't bear the sword in vain for that purpose. Well, what do we see from our American government? Are they a terror to good works? I'd say they are at this point because we see some persecution happening. And when people rise up and start doing the right thing, they start going after them. How many times in the last five years have people cried over the censorship issue? It's been going on a lot more than five years. This went back all the way to the twenties when JP Morgan, I think it was JP Morgan, right? The big bankers, they went around and started buying up local newspapers, started controlling the narrative that was happening in the media. This is the twenties. This is over a hundred years ago. And now in the last five years, people have been waking up and starting to see the censorship that's been happening. But they're not supposed to be a terror to good works. They're supposed to be a terror to evil works. They're supposed to condemn the wicked and justify the righteous. As you read back, I think it's in Isaiah. Our justice system, and look at what they do in the prison system. They let these violent crimes and people go out to do repeat crimes out, and then they'll throw debt slaves basically in prison for a long time, and they use them to fund the prisons. They've got to have their quotas in there. So they're all part of the disruption in the United States. The whole thing is interrelated. I'm for abolishing the prison system in the U.S., I don't think we need it. I think we need local jails that are run by our local sheriffs. But as far as the regular prison system, I think it should all be abolished. I mean, they make, I don't know how many tens of billions of dollars a year, right? Again, taxpayer funded. And the majority of it is to keep people alive and happy, right? I don't know if anybody's ever been in the prison system. I've got a lot of friends that have recently come out of prison, right? And they give me all the updates. Every time I get a new friend, it seems like they just came out of a prison somewhere in this nation. It's really cool. I love putting these guys to work because they're willing to. But the idea is they steal from the taxpayers and give these guys comfort and aid. And a lot of them, a lot of them, not all, but a lot of them are convicted of capital crimes. Capital crime should be punished by righteous judgment. The majority of capital crimes, murder, for instance, let's go some of the most recent ones, pedophilia, child trafficking. How are we supposed to handle that? Matthew, Matthew, Matthew, Matthew, Matthew, Matthew, Matthew, Matthew, Matthew, You get rid of them so the crime doesn't happen, and you put the fear of God in man that the next guy that thinks they can get away with it, they're going to see that. Maybe they'll think twice about it. this whole anti-death penalty thing has to go. Because without righteous judgment, you have a prison system that is nothing more than a money-making scheme. And it's kind of rewarding. It's rewarding them. I've heard a few people say, hey, this is great. I go to prison. I've got three solid meals a day. And they don't see – a lot of people don't see it as a punishment. And then you watch the violent crimes being committed in these prisons, like Rikers, for example. Somebody commits a violent crime in prison, they're done, in my opinion. We have already – help them try to get on some sort of path. There is no rehabilitating these people. And if they go in there, they're just basically thumbing their nose at the entire United States to go in there and kill and rape and whatever else they do in prison. And they have lost their last chance when they do that. And everything we talk about in this show all ties together, right? Because you had just mentioned, and I understand what you said. I disagree with the way you said it. When you say that there's no rehabilitating these people, right? There are some that, as you read, and also when Paul talks about Romans, in Romans one, right? Where God's given them up to a reprobate mind, right? They have gone so far that God will let them do whatever they want to do at that point. Well, then what are we supposed to do with that? A lot of people would say, well, that's God's will. He gave them up to that, so we should just accept that. Well, no, he gave them up to that so that you could see who they really are And as the government in this country, we the people, you have the duty to take care of the situation. Now, I'm not going to say that not all of them can be rehabilitated because I think they are. But what's the bigger issue there? Karen in the chat a little while ago, we were talking about something else. She said how this relates to school board. Let me tell you, there's the bigger issue. Because when we don't teach the next generation that life is valuable and that life is created in the womb, that humans are knit together, that God knows them before their parts are even assembled. If we don't teach kids that, they have no value of life. Murder is nothing to them. They don't see it as taking another life. Well, they shoot each other on the games all the time, every day. Yeah. So that's where prevention comes in. Right. It's easier to deal with the crimes before they go into the prison system than it is to have to deal with it after. And that's why I say the church has failed in America because of those specific things. They do not teach the next generation what is right over what is wrong. They have been consenting to culture instead of being molders of consensus. They should be the ones rising up. I say they, me included. We should all be the ones rising up as we do on this show. and be shouting from the rooftops all of these things because not one thing that ever gets mentioned on this show is self-sustaining. Ralph, you had just mentioned that a little bit ago. You cannot deal with just one little tax without dealing with the expenditure that it goes to. You can't deal with the expenditure that it goes to unless you deal with the corruption that happens in the legislature that's causing it. And that circle back around, that goes back into Doge. I just saw one of, this was a few weeks ago, but one of the senators stood up and was talking about that regarding where their money went. And they were saying how Doge has found all of this money that was being sent from the USAID to all these different unconstitutional areas and go in and list them. I mean, I don't have enough fingers and toes, so I'm not going to try right now. But he was bringing that up and saying, well, I had no idea. The American people had no idea this was going on. Well, hold on a minute, Senator, because when I read in the Constitution, the legislature is the only one who has the authority for the appropriation of money. Therefore, if you didn't know what was going on, it falls at your feet. You did not do your job properly. Every one of them that passed that now should immediately be removed from office because once the people understand it, They should go after the people that caused it. But here's the kicker. The people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. The people don't understand they have the power to deal with these legislatures every time they violate their oath to the Constitution. So they see that as a good thing. They see all of this being brought to the light. They see the legislature starting to talk about this and muddle through it a little bit, figure out how to deal with it. All the while, there's one phrase in the Constitution that they have to deal with that money. Now, if we gave them that authority and they're the servant over that money, read in Matthew regarding the king and the servants and the talents. Right. You want to see proper government role. Right. We give them that little talent. That's your one little duty there to do. What do they do? They bury it in ground. They don't want to talk about it. They delegate that authority to somebody else. And when you dig it back up, it's nothing but dirt. Right. It's covered in slime. They're trying to wipe it off and make something else about it. And what did the king still do to the guy? No, you're going to throw to other darkness, outer darkness. That is righteous judgment. We are to deal with these people. And if we don't, we're going to continue to get more of the same, right? What's my favorite quote, Donna? If you want the results you used to get, you have to do the things you used to do. Look back into the early eighteen hundreds and see how these people dealt with the corruption that happened in government as they were seeing it. And then look at the education system. See where the church started to fail in the eighteen twenties, thirties and forties. Look what we ended up with in the fifties. Look how the political mindset changed in the eighteen sixties. Look how we ended up dividing the country. A house divided against itself cannot stand. Right. Read both sides of that. That war of the states that they want to call civil. Anything but civil. That was an attack from the government on the American people is all that was. A division of the people into two separate mindsets that they can fight amongst themselves. Sound familiar? Red, blue, left, right. That's what they do in all situations is they try to keep us fighting. And they usually only give you two choices. Sometimes they only give you one choice. It's like being in a cattle chute. They're constantly putting us into like a cattle chute to direct us into the direction that they want us to go. when the the answer might be outside of the one choice or two choices let's just say we get choice a and choice b what if that what if those are neither one of them are the choice and we really need to be looking in the third choice and it's out here somewhere it's voting for donna brandenburg instead of the I mean, I made a meme for that. I made a meme for that. And when you were campaigning that you had GOP and you had the Dems and we were choosing Donna, we went a third route. It was okay. It was the right thing to do. But the good thing is what I, what I see in this information, as Bill was saying, the education system, and I posted about this yesterday, Trump is educating us and he's, he's leading by example and, In a sense that, look at the result of what is happening now. Even if you don't think that Trump is doing it, I'm seeing a lot of people talking about, well, what is the scope of the president's authority? What is the scope of the judiciary? Can the judicial branch tell the president what to do? Can the president fire people? Can he... Who can impeach a judge? How does that work? All of these things are being discussed by people who would never have talked about it before. And it's a common conversation now. So people are trying to find out Not only the details about some of these things and the case law, as Tater was talking about yesterday, John Tater on BNN, but it was also about the basics of Constitution. What is the difference between the three branches of Where's the force come in with the juries? Does the jury have power when the Supreme Court gets it wrong? Absolutely. But how does that work? Where do the juries come in to play? And it's a wonderful conversation that's going on everywhere. So for those of us who didn't get that wonderful conversation, education that our founders were getting couldn't pass that eighth grade test that most of the states in the country had two hundred years ago if we really really tried but we are catching up right now and hopefully we'll train up the next generation better and the next generation even better I mean we have to learn the lesson the hard way get the hose in a sense where you have to get figure out how to write it. But I see a lot of people are trying right now, and that's good. And when you keep voting for the lesser of two evils, you're still voting for evil. Yeah. Sometimes you've got to just be that trailblazer that does the things that are unexpected. When you're in a war, you don't win a war by taking the expected route that everybody wants you to take. That means you're captive and you're only part of the problem. You win a war by doing the unexpected, the things that nobody sees coming, that they're trying to figure out what's going on. It's the element of surprise in winning. So like everybody that jumps on the Republican Party, the Democrat Party, guess what? You're part of the problem because they are in control of both sides. You can see it to Bill's point. You can see it in the fact that this Yahoo out there goes, I didn't know where that money was going. Okay, so you're going to vote for incompetence and say, yeah, but they say they're for this. They aren't doing it. They can say whatever they want. It's all a show. It's an act to control the population. I'm telling you right now, I can see these guys in the background, in the back room somewhere making their deals, going, okay, I'm going to put this one up for a vote. You vote it down. You put this one up for a vote. I'll vote it down. We'll make it look like World Wrestling Organization or something like that. Give them the chair. That kind of thing. called kayfabe yeah and so and and they're basically it's basically wwf in politics there's a meme for you karen give them the chair yeah I'm trying to circle around back to to a topic uh you know to the dealing with problems holistically uh I I kind of have a little bit of an opposition view on this and that I am not really in support of most of the death penalty as it currently stands. And that is because I don't think our justice system actually delivers justice. You look at the amount of plea deals that we've got going on and the corruption in our justice process. And I don't think we have actual justice. And until we start applying the death penalty to the places where it is appropriate for the proper conviction of treasonous activities. And until we actually clean up the justice system to the point where there is actually justice there delivered, not just by corrupt judges, but justice also delivered by the juries who have been educated on their proper duties prior to delivering a verdict, then I have a hard time believing that any of the justice delivered by the justice system is truly. One hundred percent infallible to the point where I could trust it to deliver a verdict of requiring the death penalty of the populace, it needs to be the death penalty needs to be applied to the correct places to clean things out first, and then it would be appropriate. I agree. Now, there's a phrase common. I'll try to make this short, Donna. There's a phrase common, Karen, you'll be really familiar to it, where where there is no victim, there is no crime. No crime. Now, if you go back to the roots of judgment, what do we have? What did God tell the Israelites, right? Where there was a crime, there must be an accuser. where there's an accuser, who is it brought before to be judged? It's before the people. The people are the judges. Once judgment is served, the accuser brings the accusation, two or three witnesses, the people judge the matter. If they deem that the death penalty is necessary for a capital crime, Karen, who is the first to throw the stone? The accuser. the accuser. Now, if we want righteous judgment in this land, get the justice out from under the Justice Department back in the hands of the people. Read Article I, Section VIII, Clauses XV and XVI. The militia, the people, demonized as we may be, they are the ones to enforce the law, to repel invasion, to suppress insurrection. That is their rightful duties, even at the federal level. How much more so at the state level? Put it this way. If you were accused by somebody for a capital crime, and I don't fear this at all, but if you were accused of somebody for a capital crime and they brought it up and the people of your community whom you know and who know you are required to sit in the jury seat to judge you, How much more justice do you think we could have in America? But they have taken the juries out from your local peers, right? Read it, a jury of your peers. They've taken it out from that and gone into a random mixed jury and even kick people out if they have any affiliation with you. Well, a stranger isn't going to judge you based on your moral character. They don't know your history or background or how you normally operate day to day. They would have no idea how to judge you in that manner. But if it's a jury of your peers and the militia has been the one to enforce the law, to bring you in, and then to gather the evidence against you, you sit before them. And if they want to convict me of something, let them throw the first stone. I'll be happy to take it. Because at least then I know I may have been in error. If that many people who know me can see something wrong in me, I'll take it. But strangers, they ought never sit in a judge's seat. Never. Never. And again, this goes back to education. I'm with Ralph. That right now, I mean, people don't even know about the concept that we're talking about here. The concept is... So how do you be a jury? How should you be a jurist? And, I mean, even in the assembly, which is named the General Jural Assembly, and they talk about... The education, as I experienced, was not there. There's a group of people calling themselves MGJA, which are not MGJA. So we have a false dichotomy going on even there. But supposedly they removed me by a grand jury process after I left the actual MGJA, which I think is hilarious. So they believe that they performed a grand jury process on me without a proper lawful notification, without bringing the accuser to me, without bringing forward evidence that I can witness, and did not notify me of the result. I mean, how many ways is that wrong? And these are people who claim to understand how a jurist process works. So that's how bad it is that we don't know, to Ralph's point, how can we properly do a lawful and godly exercise of convicting someone to the point I think we need some more education before we can go that step. And it's kind of like what I see with Doge. While they're trimming the fat... Once we defund some of these criminals, then we can out the corruption. Then we can educate the people. Then we can get the proper justice. So it seems like that's the process that I see that we have to do one step at a time. But as I said in the chat, even yesterday, the news came out and didn't make much of a stir that Louisiana performed its first execution by nitrogen gas. So it's happening, but it is a little bit scary because on the one hand, well, if you're innocent, go with God if they get it wrong. But on the other hand, is it right to kill somebody that didn't do anything wrong? And that's why I think due process is so vital. But understanding the role of a proper jury is also vital. Yeah. Yeah. Let me clarify that by saying I will never consent to the state having the authority over the death penalty. That is why I say it must be in the hands of the people. Because the people will understand when they see it. The people will understand just as our fathers did. It is better that a thousand guilty men go free than for one innocent man to die. I want you to think about this. They've already proven themselves that they're capable of murder. We have the nursing home situation. That was a third party murder by Whitmer. So we have people who are murderers and assassins that are within our government. Why would we ever give them the power of the death penalty? We shouldn't. But as you said, the correct process is in the hands of the people. but that they're thereby again, what's happening with our elections. The elections are being basically handled by the state telling the townships, the counties and the townships and the municipalities what they are to do and how they are to do it. The political parties are telling the people in the precinct delegate category, blah, blah, blah. Even though there's a lot of good people that are trying to do the right thing. I'm not going to take it away from, I'm thankful for every single person that stepped forward to try to do what they think is going to make a difference. But it's a top-down management style. While the people on the top are murderers. They're thieves. They have killed millions of us. Look at nine, eleven. That was from an inside. That's that's from the inside. I'm completely convinced of it. That was an inside job. Look at the vaccines. That was an inside job. Look at the viruses. Inside job. They're funding this. Now look at the theft of our own properties. Inside job. The ones on the inside are leveraging, claiming ownership to your land and borrowing twenty to one against against that using your property as collateral. That means they're admitting to owning this. So they will literally do exactly what the dictators of the past have done in Cambodia, in the Bolshevik Revolution, in Germany. And I mean, there's no end to how many times a corrupt, communist, fascist government, whatever you want to call it, communofascist, authoritarian, collectivism-based government will do. They will kill anyone who gets in their way because there are a godless group of people that have basically sold out to the beast system. And to the point here, we have Al Richards is on again today. Hey, Al, how you doing? And Sean's there. I'm going to bring Sean on in a minute. And as Al said, this is a spiritual war that we're in. The legal system is the beast system. And don't expect a snake to be a sheep. We're expecting them to do the right thing. They have no ability to do the right thing. They are completely and utterly godless, sold out completely to the beast system, to Satan himself, and to the allegiance to the economic capture and destruction of this planet. I'm going to bring Sean on a minute. Sean, you out there? I don't see you. Behind you is going to get some coffee. When I look at the courts as they currently operate, too, and you've got some jurisdictions that have upwards of a ninety percent plea deal rate, that's not justice. And when you start looking at the jury selection process and how many people get disqualified from sitting on a jury after being called in for jury duty, how many people get disqualified for sitting on a jury for having knowledge of the law relating to the crime what what are the laws on the books if you know them you get disqualified how many people get disqualified from being on a jury for knowing about jury nullification you know there's there's so many things that are like why should you be disqualified from a jury for having for educating yourself on proper legal processes and the laws that are on the books, which we're supposed to know if we're going to be delivering justice. As long as those flaws exist in the judicial system, the judgments are not being handed out by a properly educated public. They're being handed out by the judge and really the attorneys. Yep. not by the people. When I was on a jury, the first thing they ask you is, do you know any of these people in this court? Do you know the defendant? Do you know the prosecutor? And if you did, they would throw you out. And the one I was on was a criminal sexual conduct charge against a minor. And Do you have any knowledge or experience with sexual crimes? Well, that took out a lot of people because they were willing to say, well, yeah, I know somebody who experienced blah, blah, blah. Well, two of the people that were on the jury said, did have knowledge of, one had a direct experience just like the little girl, and the other one had knowledge of a girl who had a delayed disclosure, but she then recanted it. And so she thought this little girl was lying because she had experienced that before. Those two people were the most important people on the jury because they had knowledge that could assist us in comprehending what we were talking about. And and we had to work the one through Well, just because you experienced that with the girl that lied Allegedly, maybe she didn't for all we know Doesn't mean this little girl is lying because the rest of us saw that she was not lying So we it took us a while to dig into why did she feel the way she felt it was her experience but the other one especially boy she had direct knowledge that fortified the expert expertise that we had listened to as uh from a witness and other circumstances of it those people should never have been thrown off the jury and that's exactly what they were doing and like bill said it welcomed people that know the defendant or know of the situation a little bit or whatever it is, because that's how it's supposed to work, but that's not how we've been taught. Or the law lab just put something out there that says my son got dismissed from jury duty by the judge and lawyers here in Kent County, because he knew the laws concerning banking. Yep. That happens a lot. Yep. And that, you know, that's what, that's what I mean about, you know, the, a lot of them get disqualified for actually knowing something about the subject. And to Bill's point, I think Bill said it beautifully earlier about the, that punishment for a capital crime and the death penalty should not ever be handed out by the state, but that it is proper for the people to do it. And not, you know, of course, not in a mob rule vigilante justice kind of thing, but in an actual proper process. And that is a perfect way to say that because you get the state involved in it and you get some major issues. And right now, that's a lot of how our courts are being run is being run by the state and not by properly educated populace. And then we also have the problem too of, how many of these cases, they're selective about how cases going in front of a jury, how much of those cases gets disclosed to the general public. Because if you look at that, there's also a lot of cases that get completely buried so that they can have a jury that has no knowledge about them. But boy, if they want to have one that they can poison the jury, they put that whole case out there to the general public as wide as they possibly can so they can be super selective about who they disqualify from that jury for knowing something about the case. Yeah, I think all juries, all judicial systems right now should be brought back to the local communities. And I'm not even talking district circuit courts. I'm talking about your individual counties and townships even. I think we ought to have individual community courts. And if you want to train up the next generation in doing this, I don't know, Don, if you've ever done this or Sean or anybody else here, but if you want to properly train up the next generation in understanding this, because this is vital for the success of a nation is to rule in proper judgment and justice. but do it in your own households first, right? If you've got kids in your household and one of them screws up, right, and there's a little bit of confusion what's going on, family court time, man. We sit down, we set up, the siblings are your judges or is your jury, right? And I'm just sitting back and just be able to help you out along the way, show you what's right and wrong. You make the call, kids. You know, your sibling screwed up. Are you really going to are you really going to throw the first stone? That's right. You're going to be the first one to punish them, because if you are if you're going to make this accusation, it's not going to fall to my hand. It's going to fall to yours first and then I'll take care of it. Right. That's the proper way to train up the next generation. And if we would do that in our old households. If we would do that in our own churches, we wouldn't have to worry about doing it in government because the people would understand the fear of God and they would understand the law and they would understand how vital it is not to falsely accuse somebody. And we wouldn't have a lot of this nonsense going on if we would just train up the next generation to do it properly. To your point, you just said something very significant that brings me to the subject of homeowners associations. Have you ever worked with a homeowners association and seen how they will gang up on one person? And they're really breaking the law. First of all, hang on, I'm going to mute you a minute, Sean. We got some background noise there. The homeowners associations are, first of all, they're unlawful. They have no right to tell you what to do on your property. I don't care. They're treating, they're treating this entire state like a condominium type structure. So the houses are now treated like condominiums, even though you own the land, except for right now, we've just had them admit that we don't own that land and that they own the land. And so that's why they're pushing everybody around. But the lack of communication that goes on between people in the property in the uh homeowners association and the brutal uh picking on people because there are there are people that are taking payoffs I've seen it in two different places where you can look at them and going this person's getting a payoff by by someone here in order to push an agenda because somebody's either getting ownership or contract out of it and so right now the laws have to be in a position where we can enforce them. So we've got a caveat here because there's a lack of spiritual discernment, conviction, and doing the right thing. There's a lack of fear of God or focus on God that there's an ultimate judgment. And if you break the rules, if you break the laws that are in place, they don't even care. And they don't see that they're just as bad as those people that are committing a capital crime. They're just doing it by inches. It's like piranhas. Like spiritual piranhas, little tiny bites. Oh, it doesn't matter. I'm just going to gang up on people and do these little bites. And it has to be sweeping across the board on knocking this lack of God-fearing spirituality of defending each other and not doing anything for your own gain, but doing it because it's the right thing and under the law and in front of God. It has to be restored. That's right. What say you, Sean? You know what's interesting is this kind of goes back to... Can you turn your camera on? I know you've got a camera, so it's like I'm talking to ghosts. Donna, I've got to get to my crew anyway. It's quarter after ten now. Why don't you say last words here, Bill, and then I'll let you get off the show here and go to work. Sure. Well, everybody knows what we talk about, we can back it up. uh with with the law we can back it up with the constitution we can point out the corruption but not only that but give the opportunity to do something about it right what what holds people back from getting involved in doing anything about it is is the biggest question because a lot of times it's it's an inconvenience to the people right Well, it was a real inconvenience to have Israel walk around the desert for forty years as well, right? Because of the mistakes that they made and that they allowed. But what did it say to the next generation for them in Deuteronomy twenty? It said, do not let your heart faint. Do not be afraid and do not tremble or be terrified because of them. For the Lord your God is he that goes with you to fight for you against your enemies. Right? It's not just us. We just have to be the willing vessel to do it. So what's holding us back today? I think it's a lack of conviction. I think we can have a major list because it's, you know what the thing is? It's excuses. It's a list of excuses and pointing the finger in the blame game, which is what the Garden of Eden was all about. I didn't do it. The snake told me. The woman told me. The this told me. That lack of personal responsibility. If you committed this crime, if you failed to stand up when you knew it was wrong, it's all on you. It's not on somebody else. It's not because it was a hard thing. It's not because it's a, you know, I've got something else to do. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know, I didn't have the right cookies for my cookie gathering or some stupid thing like that. There's a million excuses to avoid personal responsibility. And that's the problem right there. And a lack of fear before God, because he's going to look at every single action that we do. I'm going to say we because it's a we thing. None of us is any better than the rest. It's a constant daily introspection of examining our lives before God and going, all right, what am I screwing up on? Even if it's not a capital or a cardinal sin, we're screwing up on stuff. And we have to adjust because we're like navigating on a sea here. Wind blows a little bit from this way. Are you going to stay true north? Are you going to correct and continue to go to true north? Or you're going to crash on the rocks. So there you go. You're just full of metaphors today. I am. It's like, got to put it into simple terms here for myself to understand it, I guess. All right. Ladies and gentlemen, I will see you again shortly. hey thanks for being on today bill this is great I always appreciate your wisdom we all we all do and we you were we were definitely missed last week so moving on keep going on those construction projects yeah they should they should be done next week I'm hoping you you should you're gonna have to come out and see the colors you you've seen the inside of my house I'm not a white gray guy you know yeah We are bold colors around here and we went wild on this one. It's going to be really cool. I finally get one of my black rooms. So fun. Yep. All right. We will talk to you later. Thanks. We'll talk to you later. Yeah, I should probably get going too. Oh, we've got Dr. Kent on this morning. You want to come on today, David? Nice to see you here. They use special software to pick juries. It's so corrupt. All right. Thanks for being on today, Ralph, and you have a great day. And I'm glad that things are working out well enough for you to be here. Yeah, sounds good. Thank you. See you later. You were missed also. Okay, so I'm going to ship David the link here, and we'll see you later next week. All right. Talk amongst yourselves, and I will go ahead and send this to David. So I haven't seen the end of the show from yesterday. What I did see was the start of your segment when you were covering a lot of security measures that people can apply to their homes. And I'm like, oh, I can do that. Well, that's easy or that's interesting. So I've got it on pause so I can come back to it. I had like three different things I wanted to listen to yesterday. So I have to play some catch up. Yeah, it's actually pretty easy. A lot of home security is just behavior modifications that people can do just to make sure that they don't unknowingly target their own home for, you know, wannabe criminals. But, um, one of the big things is, is that back in the early nineteen hundreds, the Rockefeller family was instrumental in making sure that this basic form of education would be kind of wiped away from the general public. And, uh. And they started bringing in, you know, all different kinds of things and distractions. And eventually people would just stop, you know, parents would stop teaching their kids about, you know, how to do home security. And it was just a lot of it, which it comes down to, you know, it's like, do you keep the yard clean? Do you keep it mowed? Do you keep it picked up? Do you keep it, you know? And what's funny is this back in the nineteen forties and fifties, people would leave their doors open. You know, the crime rate was astronomically low because during that time, people. A lot of people, you know, they just came out like the other guy was talking about, you know, we come out of the eighteen hundreds we had. we had swift death penalties for a lot of these bad crimes. And a lot of people said, no, this is not the direction I want to go. So it kind of deterred them into getting back to having a relationship with God. and people, neighbors working together and solving problems. And then by the time we got to the late nineteen fifties, there was a lot of things that was put into policy by in Washington that then it started to kind of stir things up a little bit again, more division and You know, then we had the Vietnam War, and then there was the sexual revolution of the sixties, and pretty soon it just kept growing and growing and growing. And what had happened during that time was modernization of a lot of electrical security devices. they start peddling a lot of these different things. They started with the commercial sector first, and then they go to the residential sector. And what people forgot was it was just a basic behavior modifications. That's what's, um, that's the, that's the, that's the true core of any kind of home security. Or even like if when I worked as doing arm security, You know, cameras are great, but unless you're sitting in front of a monitor watching everything going on for twelve hours a day, chances are you're going to be interacting with people constantly on a daily basis. You know, we always have to keep, I mean, especially like government buildings, a lot of our walls are made out of glass. And the reason for that is so we can actually see through that glass of any threats coming before it gets to the door. um so if we need to do a lockdown or if we need to um or just go to the door and and you know approach somebody outside the door or you know things like this so the name of the game is really is um how do I get my eyes on the outside and the inside of the house right um but at the same time I want that recorded evidence so if Cops come to my house because, you know, I had to protect my family and somebody broke in and I had to shoot them to stop them. You know, I want that video evidence, right? And, you know, the third training video that I was going to show yesterday, we didn't get a whole lot of time to show it, but... This one in particular, it actually shows them what's called the Israeli Mossad method for home defense. And this is where you developed a safe room in your house, right? So the idea of the safe room is where a room that nobody can penetrate, right? Or at least give you some some time to be able to escape out a secondary window or a secondary door, right? Um, and usually most recommendations is you want that safe room to be somewhere where it's, um, uh, you know, it could be a basement. It could be, uh, as long as it has windows, you know, the operable windows, uh, or a room maybe, um, if you're, if the only safe room you can design is on the second floor and then make sure you have like a rope ladder or something like that so that you can, you and your family can get out if you need to. But, um, and then your door, you know, you need to make sure it's not a, not a regular interior door, but something of a solid wood door or a solid metal door. Um, I know for some people that they think it's kind of pretty weird, but, um, But the safe room is actually designed to protect you and your family against any kind of threat. And then, of course, there's companies out there that actually design these safe rooms that they can put into your house. But those are pretty expensive. But there's other ways you can do this without having to spend a lot of money. It's just some basic things. Like putting up a linebacker door bar in your safe room. That would help. And then, of course, if you want to have a solid door as well. And the massage method is... With the safe room design, this is where your family retreats, right? And in the safe room, this is where you got your TV monitors, where you can see all the cameras, you have all camera access outside and inside. You can actually identify who the culprit is, and you can identify who this, you know, or who the threat is, right? one of the big things that people don't understand I can't distinguish the difference between who's a burglar and and what is the home invasion so burglary they tend the attention is to come in and steal your stuff home invasion however that's completely different they're there to actually hurt or kill you right and in most cases I want to say about ninety ninety percent of the time They're always after the male figure first. Why? Because to get rid of the alpha male, then the women and children are going to be especially vulnerable to them. But once they take out that whoever the alpha parent is, then it's easy for them to do whatever it is they want to do. So that's the home invasions are there for. It's more like an assassination. and more in a civil sense. But most of the time when there is a home invasion, we see there's always three or four or five people involved, not just one person. It's always a small group of people, you know. And part of the reason a lot of home invasions occur is because of the fact that You might be a known drug dealer to begin with. That's pretty common. Or like in today's political culture, we've got conservatives, influencers who are being targeted uh and what they they would do is they would do it by police right so they would call on the police department saying that they're in this person's house and they're they are that person and that there was a shooting and and you know they need help and then the SWAT team shows up and they're hoping that that conservative influencer would get shot by the police you know um and so really it's about you know control uh it's about access and control uh of your home so it doesn't matter if it's the police or if it's the bad guys it's denying entry into your home by anybody right but if that's you know um If that doesn't, I mean, they managed to breach it somehow. And then you got to get into that defense mode. Defense mode is where you retreat to safe room. You can stay in there. It's about buying time and creating distance until the police come. But we all know that the cops on our national average is six to twelve minutes within within a small town. But in the big cities or out in the rural countries, it could be hours. It could be even days. I had one client up in Montana told me it took the sheriff four days just to get to his location up in the mountains because. Where he was at is kind of a very isolated area, but the amount of time it takes for his county sheriff to get to him. And keep in mind, too, he has other things that might be going on at the time. But somebody had broken into one of his buildings and taken some things. And so he just called it in and said, well, yeah, I had a burglary. Somebody broke into my into my building and took a bunch of stuff. And then the dispatcher said, OK, well, we'll get somebody there as soon as we can. But just don't go in there and don't touch anything, you know. and so he said it was like four days later this year finally showed up with the deputy and the crime forensic team and to do all the dusting and the fingerprints and stuff so um so the the we've been taught for so long that you know if oh my gosh if something happens call the police call nine one one you know that's like the end all to all solution but when in reality it is not because a lot of the bad guys, they understand the three minute rule. In some cases, like with a couple of guys that I've talked to that were in prison for murder, that they did a home invasion, they were taught a thirty second rule. So with home invasions is they would smash the door, break in, shoot and kill the person, and then leave and get out as quick as they can. know once we figure out how the criminals operate and how they think and how can we apply these methods and then we say okay well we got a safe room we got a barrier uh we've got cameras all over so I can actually see the inside and outside of my home uh um I i I've also got a firearm as well. My wife has a firearm, so it's not like we're going to be caught with our pants down, so to speak, right? But just in general practice, one of the things I always do, and I know it freaks out some people that might know me that come to my house, but they would say, why do you always carry a gun on you, even when you're at home? And I said, well, I had a client one time that called me and said, well, they wanted me to fly out to California and to help them with their home security. And I said, okay. So I flew out there and we were talking and I was, you know, just going around looking and taking notes and everything else. And I told them, I said, okay, um, you've got this huge house, you've got a very, very large house. I said, where do you keep your guns? Because the cops are not, oftentimes, nine out of ten times, the cops are going to be, I call them the cleanup, the cleanup crew. They're not going to be there to defend you. That's just a fallacy. So I said, where do you keep your guns? He said, well, it's upstairs in my bedroom in the back corner. I said, oh, okay. So let me ask you this, because you are a high value target, which means that you're more than likely going to have experienced a home invasion at some point in your life because of your political career. Let me ask you this. So if someone were to break in through the door, what would you have to protect yourself and your family from this imminent threat, say four or five guys? And, you know, he said, oh, I'll just run upstairs. I'll just I'll just grab my gun. I said, OK, let's let's do this little exercise. I said, how about this? I want to stand outside your door. Just keep it unlocked. I'm going to knock on the door and you take off running. OK, and I'm going to count to four. And then when I get to number five, I'm going to come in and I'm going to chase after you. If I can get to you before you get to your gun locker. then you go with my suggestions. And he said, sounds fair. So I stood in the outside of the door and I caught it. And by the time I got to five, open up the door, he was halfway up the stairs. I ran after him. And before he even got to the top stairs, I got ahold of his pant leg. So it's just a show that you need to understand your, um, you're building for wander home that you live in. Right. How big is it? Um, you know, is it a small house? Is it a ranch house? Is it a farmhouse with like two, three stories, you know, what obstacles do you have in your way? So it really comes down to it is it's all about strategy. Where do you put your safe room? Sometimes you have to have more than one safe room, you know? Um, and, For me, it's just I know that I've met a high-value target for many years, so that's why I always carry a firearm on me at all times. It's just because you never know. You never see them coming. And when you don't see them coming, you need to have a plan in place to make sure that you and your family are safe. And this is one of the things that I tell people. It's like a fire drill. It's easy to go, okay, well... you know we can just skip the fire drill this month because we all we all know we know how to do it right yeah yeah no big deal but here's the thing in any type of uh exercise that you do like when I was doing uh um a lot of training for doing armed security and military contracting we would always switch things up constantly switch things up because when you walk into a room right something's different then you got to learn how to respond to something that's different right so you're not just you know you walk into something you're freezed because they're like oh wait I didn't know about this or I didn't expect this right and so the same thing with a home intruder um we do home intruder drills we do them religiously you know we've done them religiously for years and uh Some of our friends, our really close friends that my wife and I went to school with, they thought we were nuts until they had a home intruder. Then guess who they called? They called me. So a lot of people think, well, this will never happen to me. Oh, no, I live way out in the rural country. This will never happen to me. I've had one client who was a retired law enforcement officer. uh, sheriff, right? He was a retired sheriff. Uh, he's been short for thirty-two years in Ohio, and he, and he just, uh, he'd been retired for, uh, ten or fifteen years. And a bunch of good thugs came through his door, uh, knocked his wife out cold, beat him up pretty good, and then they started taking some stuff, right? But they mostly just demolished his house. And, and it turns out what had happened was crime was rising in his neighborhood, right? and he had a lot of like little like uh law enforcement memorabilia on the outside of his house that's how he ended up targeting himself right uh we can't have nice things anymore we can't put nice things out anymore because the truth is the way the world is the world is just ugly until we can get this heart problem fixed in this world um we're we're always constantly putting ourselves at risk by just putting nice stuff on the outside of our home That's right. Welcome here today, David. I'm glad you were able to join us today. Thank you. I saw Jeannie in the background. Hey, Jeannie. Hi. And that's true to your point is that this comes down to a spiritual and a heart issue on people. People see other people by and large as something to make a deal with. Because they're always trading. They're always trading. If I do something for you, then you have to do something for me. Or if you have something that I want, I'm going to figure out how to get it. And or use your stuff to do favors for my friends. This is a heart issue instead of a giving issue. That's a taking issue. And you can't you can't people that are devoid of God. That's how they see the world. Yeah, it's a coveting. And that's transactional. It's very transactional. It's very transactional. And that's the that's the that's the way that people think. And so it's unfortunate, but until we all decide that we're going to work on this problems within ourselves, first, you got to get the plank out of your own eye. You know, are we looking at people as something to use? I have a perfect example of this, and this is going to make everybody sad, but it is just as the way it is. Somebody that is in my family. That has a true heart problem. And I know this person very, very well. Friend of ours had their dad died when this person and I said, yeah, I'm going to go to the funeral. And this person goes, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the exact response that was there. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I should go because I might need them for something someday. And I was like, no. And hell no. You don't go to a funeral because you might need them someday. And it was stated. It was stated exactly. Well, not exactly. I paraphrase it, I guess. But it was stated like that. I'm going to do this. I'm going to go to a funeral because I might need them someday. I might. Where is this? I'm going to do things because it's the right thing to do because I am here as a steward of this world for God almighty. End of story. That's it. Period. That's the thing is that we spend more time using people and loving the objects that we have around us. We have got those two conflated and flipped over. We need to get back to loving people and just using the materials that we use to try to enrich in our lives and enrich in our neighbors. It's the denial of God. It's the same thing when people say, oh, it's all about frequency, frequency, frequency. It's like, well, yeah, there is some truth to that. It's just like there's air and there's water and there's all this other sort of thing. But a frequency is still a creation. It's a creation. Do you know God? Do you know him as a person? Do you walk with God? He has all sorts of cool things that he's made. But if you don't go to the source and get that figured out, you're still in a godless, devoid situation. And you're still, you're worshiping creation instead of the creator. And, you know, I've seen that go in that direction more and more recently. And it's really disturbing to me. Oh, frequency, frequency. We got to get to know the frequency, blah, blah, blah. How about you just talk to them and get to know the creator who created frequency, who created you and me and everything. It's a lack of focus, core base level of failure of analysis. Society has been set up to be that way. Everything's very transactional. And until we change, I think it boils down to our financial system. It's like people need to survive or get greedy, whatever the way our system is. And everything has to be a transaction, you know, I was just to survive, you know, you need money to eat, feed your family. And so you're there on the back of your mind. You're always thinking, you know, how can I get more and more and more? And it's, it's a problem. We're always in. Yeah. Let's look around. If you know, like if your faith is in God to provide for you in any and all situations, then you don't worry about survival because it's based on him. And so they use that to use things to say, to justify. It's like, well, I need this job. I need this, that, and the other thing. Well, you know, David, you're a perfect example of following God and trusting God. And, you know, I mean, you really are a perfect example of trusting God and living your life. And God still provides. Yeah. It's a really beautiful, you and Jeannie are just adorable and wonderful people. Thank you. thanks we're always in some state of a sodom and gomorrah on the way you know and and if you think of the world in in that form I mean sean was talking he's been talking about people threats and I'm sitting here going well yeah a few years ago my husband heard a sound in the chicken coop and he just wandered outside thinking it might be another opossum because we've had opossum issues And, no, it wasn't. It was a bear. And it was just outside our coop. We've moved it away from the house since then. But the coop used to sit right next to the house within like ten feet. So it was just outside our bedroom window. And he came running back in. If you've ever seen that. movie with john candy where john candy came running into the house going bear big bear that was literally my husband coming back in the house waking me up and all he could say was bear big bear and he went back out armed and then he said he he scared it off It was not a happy bear because it was first in the spring and it wanted those chickens because it was hungry. And so about this time of year, I start thinking April, May is when the bears start to wake up and they're going to be looking for food and we have food. So, you know, being out in the rural means you have to consider that in Michigan, we have bears. And in fact, we have cougars too up north. And there was some cubs spotted this year. But anyway, you just never know where a threat could come from. And then, you know, in his case, as I demonstrated, he knew what to do. But it was so unexpected that the adrenaline was kind of kicking in. And that's where that pre-planning helps. And I've been in a panic scenario where, in my case, the panic that I remember was yellow jackets in the front yard. The dogs disturbed. And I got them in when I finally realized what was happening. But then I'm swatting them with a towel to get the nasties off of them. I'm swatting myself. I'm isolated in the bathroom. at first because I'm trying to limit the extension of these insects in the house and I had been there before but the first time it happened with with my niece and nephew when they were little in the case where it was my children, in a sense, it was my dogs and it was me. I had it in my hair. I had it landing on my clothes. The dogs were in a, why are you hitting me? Oh, I'm being stung. What shall I do? We were all in a panic and, and boy, did it take the wind out of me. I called my husband because I'm like, I don't know where if I don't even remember if we had Benadryl at the time. And I did not know if that many stings, how it was going to affect me. I didn't know how badly the dogs were stung. And as soon as I opened that bedroom door, that bathroom door, they wanted to get far away from me. But I wanted to keep track of them. so that I knew that they were okay or that they needed more medical attention. And yet I needed medical attention because of my panic. So that's the memory I have of, okay, that's how bad it can get. So you're armed, you think you got this, and something unexpected happens and you lose your mind. That's not a place that you want to be. And that's why we train. That's why we train with firearms. That's why we train with all kinds of first aid scenarios, as we've talked about with Dr. David many times, that you got to. The more you plan, like Sean's talking about, for a variety of circumstances, the more of an even keel you can be in your mind and you can adapt and overcome a lot easier when you're trained to stay calm and collected and react to the circumstances of the moment without that panic. Yeah. In the military world, you know, We always say those who are unprepared oftentimes will not see the light of the day. And what's so true about that is that, you know, in the civilian world here, you know, doing armed security when we do training. So we have a regular type of training that we do. And then for years, I used to take my guys that were under me and we would go to do some more additional training. And with the company that I worked for at the time would reward us with a bump in pay if we brought the certificates back, right? and I would take these guys you know we would we would go all over the country you know uh we do like twice a year so about this time of the year we would go probably down to oklahoma or texas and then uh towards the fall season we would probably go somewhere like in idaho or montana and we would go down there and we'd bring like two thousand rounds of ammunition our our rifles and our handguns and And then of course we run a hotel room and we get like two, three hotel rooms because there's like, you know, two, three guys to a room. Right. And so we make this kind of like, uh, you know, think of it like, uh, girls, um, a pajama party kind of thing, you know, when they get together, but it's kind of like for guys, right? And so we go on this little adventure together and kind of like a stand by me type of thing. And then we get up next morning, we go to the diner, which is like right there, and then we get something to eat, and then we go over to the training center. and then we have the instructors that would teach us you know uh you know this is what you do in this type of scenario we're gonna we're gonna mix it up I mean and and depending on where you go you know we had one dollar the one dollar texas they would they had so many different scenarios right and uh we would take like a, they had like a dummy firearm. And the idea is that you're going to walk into a situation. And the whole idea is that you're going to use your brain. Your brain is your greatest weapon, okay? Whether it's for assaulting or whether it's for defense, right? But you can do a bit of both. And most people are stuck on, okay, defense only, right? The law abiding people are always stuck on defense, play defense all the time. But when you've got a really good defense, you play a better offense. And so I remember I walked into this this like warehouse building and then the guy instructor says, OK, you're going to walk over to this big bay door. You're going to see a car out there. And I found the end of the. you know, the end of the bay, which is there going outside, you'll see a van there and there's going to be a woman in that car and you're going to pretend that she's your wife. Okay. And you're going to walk into a situation and you need to make the best use of it as possible. And I said, okay. So I get out there and I see these two guys standing next to the car and they're yelling and screaming at her, you know? And so I got, my gun out and I went behind the car and I was kind of, you know, halfway semi-standing and I would yell at the guys to get their attention. And then I yelled at the wife, said, drive off. And so she turned, hurried up and she drove off. And now these two guys are completely exposed. And I told him, and then I, you know, would tell him to get down on the ground or, you know, or going to shoot him, you know? because they knew they were exposed, they didn't know where to run. They got down to the ground. I was able to kind of take control of that scene. And that's the kind of training that we get, right? And this is for civilians. Civilians can use this as well. You can go to these places and get this kind of training. This is one thing that's really massively important. I think every American should have the reason being is because this works very well with home security so if you've got eyes on the outside of your house inside of your house you know what your threat is you know what kind of weapon they're using or not having a weapon or maybe maybe it's just that uh maybe it's just that neighbor who has some mental health issues, you know, and he's just looking for somebody to talk to who just wanders into your house. You know, you don't want to mistake that person for being somebody that's not right. So that's why it really comes down to it is how often do you train your kids? You know, when we get into this kind of like a mode of, okay, we got to go into this defense mode. Your children oftentimes will freak out. Why? Because there's a lot of noise going on, right? And so what we did with our kids is we would put them and give them a job. So my oldest daughter's job was she calls nine one one. My son's job is to monitor the camera and call out what he sees in the camera to my oldest daughter. My youngest daughter, her job was to grab that bunny rabbit, her favorite bunny rabbit, and take it over to the corner and protect it, right? So we give them something to do as part of the drill, and they feel more and more comfortable when doing these things. Sean, can I ask you a few questions? Sure. Just pick your brain, just like short answers. What kind of gun do you recommend for... home invasion protection? Um, two, there's two kinds. Um, I know a lot of people are gonna probably will get mad at me, but, uh, believe it or not, uh, a handgun is a really good choice for, you know, uh, for short range. Right. But when you're, when you're dealing oftentimes like with a home invasion, um, or even sometimes a burglary that gone bad, a shotgun is going to be your best bet. I personally would use the Burr shots. The reason being is because it's so much easier just to repair the damage in your drywall. And a birdshot, you can't miss it. If somebody gets hit with a birdshot, it's going to be very, very painful. I actually do have shells of rock salt. Okay. yeah uh with rock salt if you get hit with rock salt the rock salt gets penetrated into your skin it's gonna burn it's gonna burn really bad uh it's not gonna kill you but it's gonna put you in a lot of pain but it's enough to stop somebody um I've never I've never known anybody to continue on forward when dealing with somebody who has a shotgun so shotgun is really probably the best bet um especially if you're not really good at aiming you know if you're not a really good shot when it comes to the pistol but here's here's an interesting statistic for women they do rifle and shotguns better than they do with pistols men are are more inclined with pistols um but when we see it with all the statistics and actual records that we got from the military and even from military contracting is that women often tend to be better with the rifles. So it's just from what I see. Even in close range? Because it seems like, well, that leads me to my next question. So like Karen was talking about hearing a noise. Let's say you hear a noise in your basement. You're upstairs and hear a window break. let's just say you didn't, you didn't call nine one one. What do you do? Do you go search for the cause of the noise or do you stay put in a corner? Well, this is where, this is where the other strategy comes into place where it's really a great idea to have cameras in every room of your house with the exception of a bathroom. So I think that's the most, that's a lot of state laws. You can't have cameras in your bathroom anyway, but again, In your own home? In your own home, yes. Other than the fact that I don't know why anybody would have a camera in their bathroom. Well, yeah. I'm not a creeper. It's really creepy, but it's also creepy that they say you can't have them in your bathroom. Well, yeah, I mean, it's well, part of the reason is because in the past, you know, they some people would have friends over and they would go into their bathrooms and they would have cameras in there and they could actually see them in the bathrooms and they would take the recordings. They put them out on the Internet. And that ended up spurring a lot of, you know, a lot of laws being written saying you can't put cameras in your bathroom. But in any case of a bad guy, that's going to be, say, like in a basement, right? So you've got a camera down in the basement that has night vision. You can go to your safe room. You can look at the camera and go, okay, it's a possum or it's a raccoon or it's somebody trying to, you know break into my house they're in my basement and you wait a few seconds to see what do they have in their hands right you ever notice that why cops always say hands hands hands right the reason being is because that's where first of all the hands themselves are listed as the number one reason why murders happen right most murders are done by hands and feet okay And then we get in down to whatever they can hold on to, right? So when I'm looking through the camera and I see somebody with, say, a gun in their hand, right? helping to make sure that this is what they have but uh in the case of a basement uh this is what my strategy would be is I'm going to trap them like fucking rats so the door that comes up into my house that's going to get barricaded or screwed shut or whatever right and then I'm going to go on the outside and I'm going to my wife started going to be on nine one one call letting them know I'm standing outside my basement window with a gun in my hand to to make sure that this bad guy or wherever it is comes out and surrenders. Right. So I'm going to be the waiting for him. So when the cops show up and they finally get the guy to come out. Well, I've taken control of the situation long before the cops got there. Right. So you can essentially you can trap them into your own home, into a room and isolate them. And you can buy enough time to keep your family safe from harm and wait until the police get there. But what happens if the cops don't come for, say, four days? You're isolated up in the mountains, right? And this is where you get into a lot of transactional speaking. They can get hungry. Transactional speaking, I like that. Transactional speaking. And is it proportional? Is your reaction proportional or is it transactional? I mean, you know, if somebody slaps you across the face, you beat down a lot of them, right? Is it proportional? Yeah. Like, well, if you get hungry, you can come out. I've got some food at the table waiting for you. Yeah, here's a zip tie. Zip tie your hands together and I won't shoot. There's the transaction. Sean, are most home invasions done by one person or is it a group of people or two people? Most typical home invasions are actually done by a small crowd between three and five people. Really? Yeah. So shotgun always comes in handy, especially if you're what we call the high value target HVT. I'm just talking every day, you know, Americans, you know, most people don't have cameras, you know, they don't have plans and not that this isn't, you know, what they should have, but I'm just saying the average person, the average person doesn't know how to use a shotgun, you know, other than pull the trigger. They don't know how to, like, sweep a room or do any of that stuff. So I'm just thinking, like, for the average family, you know, I'm just thinking around me, we've had some home invasions. Fortunately, I don't think anyone was home. You know what? We have a trained dog that will actually do the perimeter. And they're not going to negotiate. It's like, it's like one long move and pretty much the first shot is going to be at the throat, you know? Right, right, right. But most people, the average person doesn't have a perimeter searching, you know, dog or a guy like, or a Sean Starry guarding their house. or a doctor that can pick up the pieces after the after the traumatic incident the traumatic proportion might be great deterrent just saying like you don't you don't have to have a a big you know one of the things that I used to tell people is you get a really big the heaviest chain you can find and you put a uh an old dried up leather collar on the end of it and you put it right by your door said oh no my dog got away it's the appearance of this where is that big dog that used to fit into this collar I think that's great. And I was going to ask Sean, my next questions were going to be like, what can you do to deter people from choosing your home versus the neighbors or down the street? Smile. I mean, I've seen those little signs on the windows that say owner is armed and whatever, dangerous, whatever. I mean, like I wouldn't have said that on the door or maybe had even a fake camera or lights that went off and on, you know, things like that. Yeah, you could get the motion sensor lights, but make sure you're using floodlights because they will amplify the entire area. So burglars, okay, so here's the difference between, we need to understand the difference between burglars and home invaders. So burglars, they don't want to be seen and they don't want to be heard. Home invaders don't care if they're seen or heard. Their only intent and goal is to get into your house and kill you. Really? That's it, yes. Why would anybody want to do that? I would assume that the home invader would come in to try and steal stuff, but they don't care. Well, with Hillary Clinton, maybe. Yeah. But no, I mean, it could be for various different reasons. You know, there's, there's a lot of good people out there that, you know, maybe say they work in a bank or something. Right. And it has to do with where they work or what their job is that makes them a high value target. It could be just that, um, Uh, you, you might have a neighbor down the street that just doesn't, you know, it's not copacetic with you on what you do with your house and your yard. Yeah. It could be based, um, you know, it's not, it's not always going to be this, you know, like a political hit list kind of thing, but it's most of the time it's going to be, you know, it could Nine out of ten times, the people that want to kill you is going to be the people closest to you. Domestic, yeah. So it could be an extended family member. Let's say you won a lottery and your extended family members find out you won the lottery and they want money from you and you say no. Yeah. But I'm thinking more just average everyday, you know, Americans. Yeah. yeah so deterrence is um you can have motion lights you can have security I have security cameras um you can get the wi-fi cameras that have the two-way audio and you can set them up so they have a siren sound so when they approach the door siren goes off if it's somebody let's say it's like a a door-to-door salesman, right? He's truly, this is his job, right? So he comes up to my house and the sirens go off, right? He's just kind of standing there looking dumb, looking around like, okay, what did I just trip, right? He's not running away because that shows me his tension is he's not there to steal or rob or anything like that. But then, you know, it goes right into that automatic mode, recording mode or whatever. And he'll say, hey, my name is so-and-so. I'm with this company and I'm selling vacuums, you know. When can be a good time for me to come back, you know. Or another great way to, it's just like Karen was saying, believe it or not, I used to have a porch on my old house. and I had a pair of old boots and I had a, you know, a three, three big bowls there. And I had this note, this like crafted note and saying, you know, um, uh, you know, hey, hope, make sure you go to the store, get some more dog food. The dog's been without food for three days and, you know, um, yeah. That's great. I love that. Yeah, I mean, just a pair of work boots says there's a tough guy probably living there. And I was also thinking, like, if you drive a Saab, you probably shouldn't park that in the driveway. But if you drive a pickup truck, you know, park it in the driveway, maybe even sideways, get some more on it. They're not going to rob that house, probably, versus... Put it on your truck that says the shoot shop and shovel capital of the world right here. Dr. David hasn't seen yesterday's show. You need to go back and watch yesterday's show. No, I didn't see it. Well, another thing you can do, too, is it's like, let's say you and your wife are going to go on a date tonight, right? Uh-huh. And do you want to make sure that nobody breaks into your home? OK, so here's a few things you can do. Make sure your blinds are completely closed. The auditory is gone, right? So turn on the lights and then maybe turn on the TV, right? And then just turn up the volume a little bit. Make sure ahead of time, go talk to your neighbor and say, hey, we're gonna be leaving at six o'clock. We're going on a date. We'll be back about, say, eight, eight-thirty, right? Or I'll text you when we're on our way back. And you ask your neighbor to park their car in your driveway. Oh, yeah. So when the bad guys are actually screaming and they're looking, oh, there's a car, there's somebody's home. I see the lights. I see movement because of the lights, you know, the TV. So think of it in terms like Home Alone. I was just going to say that. How he had those little puppets, you know, and he's pulling out the strings and he's got the Christmas music on and the lights going. Yeah. It seems busy inside. I want to make sure people have perception. Well, if your house looks busy, somebody's home. Right. Something that happened to us years ago, which I think is kind of a funny story. And it also kind of tells the level of insanity that Donna Brandenburg is willing to go to. in a bad situation. So guy comes up to the door, magazines. No, it was cleaner this time. It's only cleaner. So don't loiter in my neighborhood because you're going to get the cops called on from whatever stupid scheme you have going on. Right. So, so talking to my husband and I'm sitting there like talking to this guy and the guy's like, he, you know, I could actually tell you that the guy was there for no good reason. And so I go out there and start talking to him and, uh, and, uh, He was a black guy, an African-American guy, a guy of color, which I talked about yesterday. I'm sick of these stupid terms because now we've got somebody running the first black governor candidate in Michigan. I'm like, I don't care what color you are. Are you qualified for the job or not? Let's stop the racist bullshit. Okay. So he starts telling me black jokes, thinking that this is funny. And I'm like, First of all, not funny. And we've been beat up on this for long. So don't try to, to bro me with your, you know, this sort of thing is it's about, I was done with it right there. Right. And so, so I knew that this guy was there to case the houses in the neighborhood, you know? It was immediate. It's like, okay, I got your number, buddy. And I'm like, why don't you just wait a minute? I said, I'll buy some product for you. I said, just a minute. So I go back and I get, you know, just a distraction. Let's put it that way. I get a distraction. I come back to the door with my distraction. Your shotgun. Yeah. Walk right past. I walk right out there and I go, boom, right in his face with my camera. And he was girlfriend. I took a picture and I walk right past him. Boom, his license plate. Boom, his girlfriend. And I go like this. And I said, just went to the detective and he's sitting there looking at that. He goes, you want to see my driver's license? You want to see what's under the seat? I said, no. I said, hey, if you got nothing to worry about. You're in the right and there's no problems. And I'm like, if you got something to worry about or you're hiding, I suggest you leave and pretty much never come back. No, I got to tell you. Yes. His story was just leave your garage open and I'll bring product back later. And I'm like, I'm like, you know what? You got nothing to worry about. Then you're great. I said, if you do, I suggest you put the pedal on the floor and move along nicely and quietly because they right now have your picture and your identifiers. Yeah, it's sad that our country has become like that. He takes off. And, of course, I actually did send it to somebody who is a cop. We've got a whole bunch of cops and detectives in my neighborhood, which is just a beautiful thing. You know, come to our neighborhood and probably – there are so many houses here that have surveillance on this place. It's fantastic, right? And they know how to use the threat that will bring proportional – into the situation right and so they ran his place and his plates were like five years out of date never saw him again never saw him again so these scammers are all related what they do is he'll drop two people here two people here two people here and sometimes they'll come this was a one-off but I will literally shove a camera right in their face take a picture and text it I posted immediately and it's like, all right, are you willing to risk this or are you just going to go somewhere else? I posted yesterday that somewhere on Facebook, it was a law enforcement agency, sheriff's department or something that posted about it in Michigan. That kind of approach has increased recently in certain areas. They're saying, well, I'm going to give you some free soap. And my sister-in-law reported that she actually had this happen. It was dish soap that they were, well, I just have this. And I'll just, you know, I'll give it to you. Well, the story goes that they convince people to open up their door to receive the free gift. And then they push past them into the home. So there's your home invasion. Yeah. which is targeted and in her case it was one man at the door but two more in a vehicle in a van so it's it's that awareness of okay don't open your door don't do not open your door at all you can yell at them through the door tell them to go away if you did not ask them to come inform them that they are trespassing inform them they're being recorded and Inform them that there will be consequences if they don't leave. That's all you got to do. And then get a picture. You know, get a picture of them through their door. If you even think you're going to open up the door, get a picture of them and make sure they say, click, smile for the camera. That's why security cameras are vitally important because like my house, I have closed circuit television cameras. They're not hooked up to the internet, which means it can't be hacked, right? And it's all raw footage. So when the cops do come to my house and want to get that footage, they give me a little USB card. I just plug into the back of it. I I you know what what uh uh camera picture or uh the video itself and I just put it out onto their sd card or their their flash drive and then I just give it to them and they take it and they they go do what they need to do but I've had a wi-fi camera that is a um it's not a wi-fi but it's a cellular camera and those are really great I actually had one that was mounted in my tree because the angle from the tree down to my back door there, or I should say it's a side door. But I actually had a visit from four FBI agents that came to my house one day. And of course, my camera is camouflage like the tree. So you can't really see unless you've got that little device. You can see that red dog, right? And so there's two. So they pulled up their black SUV at the end of my driveway. Two of them got out and then the other two got out, but they're standing by the car and the first two to start walking down my driveway. And what I did was I was at work at the time and I seen it, you know, notification on my phone. So I opened it up and immediately I hit the audio button. I said, hey, how can I help you? And immediately they stopped and they were looking around and trying to figure out where the camera was and they couldn't see it. And I said, hey, can I help you? And the guy turned around. He's like waving at the other guys. He's like, oh, we got to leave, you know. And so they got into their SUV and they took off. I need one of those. I'm going to need a loudspeaker. Yeah, it's pretty loud. I got the cameras. What I need is a loudspeaker to scare the crap out of them. That'd be hilarious. I had a rancher, a client down in Southern Texas, and he was dealing with the illegal immigrants that were coming across and they were damaging his property and stuff. so he called me up and he said hey you know he can come down and help me figure this out and I said sure I flew down there and then we got on a four-wheeler and then we drove out to this this one remote location on his property and it's like uh like a mile from the rio grande river so I said okay so here's what we're gonna do I said we're gonna we're gonna to uh uh have you uh get about two or three But these cellular cameras and what you're going to do is you're going to go to T-Mobile and you're going to pay like twenty dollars for each of these like a little memory like they're like memory cards, but they're like cellular cards or whatever. And you pay like ten bucks a month for for both for each one. Right. So it's like thirty dollars a month. then you just put it into the camera and we'll we'll set up a a post there we'll stick a post a twenty foot post and we'll put the camera up on top and you can see them long before they get to your to your place right and so he calls me up like a month later and he's like We kind of decided to, once we started seeing them come across and they were coming into this area, they would damage a lot of the fence posts and stuff and they would try to kill some of his cattle that was out there. And he said, oh, we could see him coming. We could literally see him coming across the Rio Grande. And so he would get into his four wheeler and he would just grab his rifle and he would go up to that point. And he built this like a little like, what do you want to call it? Like a gunner's nest or what do you want to call it? Like a deer blind. Yeah, like a deer blind on a stand, you know, and he would climb up into it with his rifle. And as soon as he sees them come up over this hill, he would start shooting at the ground. And they would turn around and run back across the river. And so it was effective. But the thing is, it's all about getting eyes on the outside, right? So you can actually see who's out there. And, you know, is it a Jehovah's Witness? Is it a salesman? Or is it, you know, and not only that, but... Again, you know, you can see if it's, oh, there's more people in the car. Right. So this is potentially could be a home invasion. So, again, you know, you make that you can make that good decision and say, OK, I'm not going to open my door. Right. But again, like my house, we have a thing. It's called a linebacker door bar. You can get it on Amazon. It's like one hundred fifty bucks or something like that. But it's mounted right to the outside of the trim of your door. And that's where your your two by four framing is. That's a solid part of your door. And then the linebacker goes on to it. When I first found out about it, this is the guy in Ohio that came up with this concept, this business, and he wanted me to put it through what I call my fire test. So I sent it out to a SWAT team, and I said, hey, I'll give you guys five hundred bucks, and I'll send you this product, and you test it, and you're good. in your training center, and I want you to videotape it, okay? And send me the footage back. You could keep the linebacker door bar. Keep the five hundred dollars. Just send me the video footage because I want to see how well it held up to the police being able to try to get through the door. It took them an hour and forty seven minutes just to get through that door. And it got to the point where they couldn't use a battery ramp. It wouldn't work. And they actually had to take a fireman chainsaw and cut through the door and push the top portion open. But even when they reached in, they were thinking it's right by the door handle where the latch is. It's not. It's on the opposite end. And so here they're completely exposed to whatever could be inside of the house to begin with. Right. But they got the first half and then they ended up having to cut the bottom half and then they're able to get down. And then it took them twelve minutes to figure out how to unlatch it. It's so simple, but it's on the opposite end. And the cool thing about it is it's got this little feature when you pull this little latch, the locking mechanism down, slide it over. It's got a little knuckle right there. So you can actually pull that open a little bit and you can open up the door. So your door opens only about that far. so you can actually look out and see who's there right you can like donna she could do that the camera thing right and if they stick their arm in trying to grab her or trying to undo the door they're not going to be able to because they have to go all the way to the other end of the door and that's going to slam the door shut and hold them there until they come exactly exactly So, I mean, that's cool. What's it called? The linebacker. It's called a linebacker door bar. Yeah. I have one on my front door, one on my back door. Hey guys, this is like way too much fun talking about how to get these people. I mean, I'm going to tell you what, this is a riot. It's like, it's like plotting their evil demise, you know, come after good people. And we're going to, we're going to think our way through this to make sure that it is in fact proportional to your activities. you know I got a really good story for you guys I want to share this with you so back in twenty twenty two I think it was uh when we had the riots in chicago and uh anyway uh afterwards I was coming back home and I and I I was following I was actually following uh a group of antifa people in a white van you know because this was all george sorrell's paid type middle uh protesting right And I was following him out of Chicago, and I called the mayor. I'm like, hey, you know, you got these professional protesters coming to Freeport, and they're going to, you know, do a lot of damage, right? And of course, you know, so she notifies the chief of police. What does the chief of police do? He notifies the FBI to find out if they hear anything. And they're like, oh, no, there's nothing right. Of course. So she called me back and I said, well, listen, I'm going to send you a picture. And so I took a picture with my phone. I was following right behind them. I got the license plate and the vehicle. I sent it to her. The chief of police took this and he ran it and realized this was a rental vehicle and it matches descriptions of these paid professional riders, right? And so they went ahead and they got the sheriff's department and the police department's SWAT teams out there and the riot teams, whatever, dealing with these people. So I get into town. The first thing is I went home. And I grabbed my other phone, which has my audio that I have on there, right? So being somebody who's worked in military counterintelligence, one of the things that we understand is about audio deterrence, right? So I took this, and I have a friend that lives in the downtown corner there, and I There was a bunch of people there that was like protesting, you know, and they had already smashed a couple windows. So I said, do you still have that speaker system up on top of your building? Because that's where they play all the Christmas music, you know, kind of all in one chain. He's like, yeah. I said, can I get access to it? I want to see if I can drive these people out of here. He's like, oh, that's a great idea. So we went up there and all I had to do was hook up the jack to it and take the splitter ends and I just hooked it up to the speaker system and I played the sound and the sound is so terrifying that was, I kid you not, within less than five minutes that a whole entire downtown was completely empty. What's the sound? It's a mix of sound of babies crying. It sounds like ghosts. It sounds terrifying. I want to hear this. I'll tell you what. I'll play it the next time we come on to the show. It's really terrifying because what it comes down to is this. young people uh especially these you know these rioters or protesters or whatever they're very superstitious okay they have a very creative creative mind and they're very superstitious now this is something that uh the us army actually employed during the vietnam war as they would they had these loudspeakers and they were they were trying to get into this area they were trying to push forward and they couldn't because the Northern Marines was so embedded and so entrenched that in order to get them out, the only option that they had at the time was tunnel rats, right? So you had to send the US Army Rangers or Army infantry tunnel rats to go into these tunnels and to basically try to drive them out, right? And they found that it wasn't very effective. So what they had to figure out was how do we drive them out? Right. And Then they started thinking about the Pied Piper, you know, who would play the pipe and then get all the mice to follow him out of the city. So it's kind of like the reverse effect. And so they came up with a sound, and it was a very eerie sound. It sounded like a sound of a disembodied child who was speaking to his grandfather, who's still alive, saying, you know... Look at what they did to me. They, you know, they did this, they did that. And I'm gone and I'm a ghost and blah, blah, blah, blah. And it just it was so creepy that the northern Vietnamese soldiers, they fled that area. Why? Number one, because the vast majority of them were all under the age of twenty five. So they had a very creative mind and very superstitious. And so they left the area without a single shot being fired. And so I took that method and applied it. And lo and behold, this entire town was like the whole downtown area was completely empty, except for the people that lived there. And the SWAT teams are standing out there just creeped out as hell because of the sound. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Well, I got a phone call the next day from a local mayor and she's like, do you know anything about the sound? And I said, oh, well, you're welcome. That's great. I would think nowadays if you just made a sound of like puppies crying. That's your Pied Piper. You just like a puppy being crying or yipping. All the young people be like, where's the puppy? I need to save it. And they would go wherever you led them. Like the ice cream truck. What they used to do to lure people outside is they'd have a recording of a baby crying outside. If you ever hear that, don't go outside. They're luring you and trying. It's just like anything else. They know our emotional attachments, and they will use them against you to get you outside, to get you vulnerable. Start thinking. If you hear something like that out of place, no go. Call the cops. Yep. Yeah, and that's, again, that's why it's really important to have security cameras on the outside of your home. Again, I use a CCTV because I don't have to worry about it being hacked or even a cellular camera. You don't have to worry about those being hacked, but it gives you, you have that tactical advantage. You can see what's going on. So if somebody's playing that baby sound on the outside of your house, and you see somebody standing out there with some kind of a I don't know some phone or with a speaker or something or whatever uh and and you can see them and you go okay I yeah yeah that's what they're trying to do right so then you can go ahead and call the police and then and then you can watch you can sit here and watch the whole thing unfold with the cops show up and and go up to them and start questioning them why they're doing this and then watch them put them in handcuffs and haul them off to jail you know um but the cameras play uh the cameras play two two well actually three prong rule that we have uh the first one it gives you the tactical advantage of the eyes on the outside and the eyes on the inside right So if you're in a safe room, somebody's already breached your house, you're in your safe room, you can see exactly where they are in your house, what they're doing inside of your house, right? Number two, it's for recording purposes only, okay? So it's recording everything, right? So number three, if you get to the point that you actually have to take a life to stop that person from hurting you and your family, right? Once the threat is neutralized and you've called the police, what you're going to do is you're going to make sure that the outside of your home is safe. And then you're going to go outside without your weapon. You and your family are going to wait for the police. When the first officer arrives at your home, he is the investigating officer, okay? So he's going to take control of the scene. He's going to sweep the house, make sure it's safe. And he's going to come back out. And then when things are calmed down enough, because his adrenaline is still kind of pumping, right? The first thing you're going to say is, listen, I have everything on camera. Would you like to see it? okay this way there's no influence of any kind there's no mistakes being made because his adrenaline is running high so you take him to the camera you show him you just say okay hit play and just let him watch it and when he sees this entire thing unfold he knows exactly what has happened um and Well, chances are is number one, they're not going to take your gun because he's going to he's going to see it and go, OK, this was a home invasion. This was self-defense. And then what he's going to do is ask if I can I get copies of it, go ahead and let him get copies of it. He's going to give it to the D.A. But when he gives his initial report to the D.A., he's going to say. I looks like a home invasion and it looks like it was self-defense to me. And chances of them actually arresting you, putting you in jail, and then having to go through this whole thing, it's going to be like a one out of ten. Now, like the state in Illinois where I live, there's always that chance they're going to take my gun anyway, right? We have an ordinance in our city that if you fire a gun within the city, you know, there's there's actually a law for that. So I can get a fifty dollar fine. I don't care about the fifty dollar fine. Somebody should go after that law and strike it from the books over over unconstitutionality. They don't have the right to do that. Yeah. And of course, they've got. they now have devices all over the city. And what it does is it detects for gunshot gunshot sounds. And then it coordinates the GPS locating, you know, where that sound came from. And then responding officers will go to that location. It's been a really good tool, especially with a lot of the gang banging activities that they've been trying to eliminate. But again, um, you know, when it comes to your home, the most important, uh, function, uh, is having a plan, having to having cameras, um, and doing your drills because the better you are at doing your drills and having a plan, uh, and, and utilizing the cameras, um, and everybody has a role, everybody has a job, the better it's going to be for everybody. And, and, and, you know, um, Again, my general rule is this. I would rather be carried by six than judged by twelve. But the case is this. I would rather also be judged by twelve rather than be carried by six. Right. So in a sense, the saying is, I'd rather have a plan, put a plan in action, have the tools necessary to do this. I don't need to spend thousands and thousands of dollars to do this. This is just a simple, a simple method they could use. This is one of the things is I've been on a lot of like different talk shows. I've been on a lot of different Like, you know, social media, you know, talks about this. And so at one point I just said, you know what, I'm going to write a book and I'm going to instruct people and show people how to do this. So when people have the book, they can read it, study it, learn it, apply it. Then they can become the security experts of their own home. And this. um so and this is actually uh this book here the ultimate home security yes I have that one too but I can't reach it on my camera And so I've told people I've mentioned to me, they're like, oh my gosh, it's sixty bucks. I'm like, oh, yeah. I mean, you think about it. This was a college book. It's probably the, you know, a hundred to three hundred bucks. Right. But this is, you know, sixty dollars. You're getting college grade, college level education. And this is so simple. It's so easy to read and you can apply it to your, you know, to your everyday life. And then. Once you figure it out, you go, oh, it's like a bell goes off in your head. Oh, I know exactly what I'm looking for because this book has given me all the tools necessary. Your mind is, the brain, your mind is the greatest weapon you're gonna have against any kind of threat that comes to your home. So again, everything, again, just whether it's the Constitution, whether it's the law, or whether it's home security, it all comes down to education. Are we taking the time to educate ourselves to understand uh how these things actually work and um and and to educate ourselves what the reality of things are right not everybody out there is going to be my best friend um or even my friend for that matter and if things got really I'm going to interrupt you for just one second because I'm I'm karen reminded me of my new toy it's the book is the ultimate home security by braun starry yeah right correct that's right check this out you're gonna love this it's so cool okay continue So, you know, let's just say, for example, we've had a massive economic downturn and food supply is short everywhere. Like we've been seeing this with eggs. We've been seeing it with milk. We've been seeing it with some other stuff. Right. But let's just say it was on a broad scale. And now that people would have to travel hundreds of miles just to go find, you know, grocery store food. Right. what's going to happen when that happens and you've got people uh looking for food what's the first pre-course people are going to do when they they don't spend that time prepping and learning how to grow their own food how to can their own food or how to do any of these things but instead they just say these are kind of the people I like to call the the um uh the government um dependent people right they're always depend on the government for all the solutions right so when there's no let's say there's no social security let's say there's no welfare there's no nothing like everything is just gone right they're going to be coming to your house and they could be coming in big large numbers right so What kind of plan do you have in place that's going to deter them away from your home? You know, how are you going to protect your assets? Right. And really, it all comes down to the three core values is prevention, deterring and defense. These are the three same core values that. every police officer law enforcement officer every armed security enforcement officer uh even bank protection officers this is all the things that they employ they have these strategies in place they train for this um you know and uh they they understand the dangers they understand the rewards and the results and and so it's and that's what this is what this book is for is for for anybody and everybody you know so there's not just for like hey this is just for a law enforcement or hey this is just for security enforcement no we just took or I just took what all the training that they have and I modeled it for the residential whether you live in an apartment or whether you live in a farmhouse, whether you live in an urban area or rural area, and this applies to everybody. So now there might be some things, you know, you, you, you might have to add, you know, maybe you have to add some more cameras, right. Or I don't know, maybe like that one guy where, you know, up on his like a story and a half up, there's like a set of staircases and he's got that big window up there. And what he decided to do was he decided to put up a big gatling got up on that top of there by the window. That was his idea for home defense. Okay, that's fine. However you want to do it. I mean, that's the beauty of it is you get to be the expert on your own home security. And then in turn, what you can do is go to your local neighborhood crime watch groups, right? The meetings they have once a month. And you can take that book with you and you go, hey, My name is Sean Starry, and hey, I got this book, and this is what I've learned from this book, right? This is some of the steps that I've taken. This is what we've added to our home, or we realized that maybe in my neighborhood, The crime rate is like, you know, as far as murders go is zero. Okay. But as far as property damage or property theft, it's like one in fifty four hundred. Okay. So once you know the numbers, you can go, okay, well, I live in more of a safer neighborhood, right? Or let's say you're gonna go buy a house, and this is a lot of things that people don't do, and realtors don't do this too. It's kind of a, they used to do this, but they don't do this anymore. But what they would do is they would tell the potential buyer, okay, well, this neighborhood, here's a piece of paper with a sheet with all the information. This is the kind of crime that's in this neighborhood or not in this neighborhood or whatever, right? They don't do that anymore. And the reason being is because it cuts into their profit, right? It's always a good idea to do your own due diligence. If you're going to go buy a house, you can go to Google. And on Google, you can type in your address and then ask the crime statistics in this particular neighborhood at this address, right? And it'll give you a map. It'll actually show you a breakdown. Oh, you know, like there's been rapes in this neighborhood or there's Or there's other apps out there to show you, okay, this is where all the child predators are, right? What is the statistics for neighborhood break-ins, burglaries, home invasions, things like this. It'll give you all a bit of a breakdown. So, you know, you got to do your due diligence when you want to buy a house, you know, to make sure that this is the kind of neighborhood you want to live in. But in any case, the minute before you start moving your stuff in, you should have your cameras already up. You should have your linebacker door bars on already. You should already have a copy of this book. And so once you get everything moved down and get it situated, you learn a few little tricks. Like when I broke my cardinal rule a while back, like I was saying yesterday, I bought a new TV. What did I do with the box? I took the box outside, sat it next to the garbage can. I came home from work the next day, and there was a plastic bag hanging on my door handle. So what I did, I knew I screwed up because I made myself a target. I put my house as a target with just having that box sitting there. So the scout was actually marking my house for the burglar to come and rob my house. Okay. And they use these little like everyday things as a means to mark the houses, right? And so I called the police because I didn't know if there's going to be any fentanyl laced on that plastic bag or not. And there's been numerous reports of single women, especially being targeted, where they would take the plastic bags and put a little bit of fentanyl on it and then put the bag on the door handle. then when the women would come up and grab it and just think it was just you know maybe a plastic flag that blew through the neighborhood and ended up on the door handle right and they grab it as soon as they get the key out unlock the door start walking in they pass out because of the fentanyl and then the bad guys would rush in they would either rape the woman or the robber or they would do other things right And the woman would never know until she wakes up or if she wakes up, she could very well die from an overdose. So that's why it's important to utilize the police department. If you see something like this, don't touch it. It's just better to be safe, you know, Better to be safe than sorry, it's like I always say. So what I did was I took the box, I cut it all up, I stuck it in my fireplace and burned it. Anytime I buy something that comes in a box, I cut it up and I use it for my fireplace to start my wood and stuff. So I don't throw it on the curb. And it's kind of another thing too. A little tip for you guys. So you ever wonder why some of the more impoverished neighborhoods actually burn all their garbage? chances are they're always doing drugs or doing some illegal activity, right? They know that the cops will go through your garbage can. If your garbage can is sitting on the curb, it's now public access. They can do whatever they want with it. They can take every single content out of that garbage can, take it to the police department, scatter it all over the table, and they can actually get a profile. They can do a profile on you just based on what you have in your garbage can. The bad guys are also doing the same exact thing. That's a good thing to be like aware of because we all need to be, you know, we all need to be aware of all of this kind of stuff. And I mean, I think the diligence of looking at looking at, you know, what we what we throw away or our surrounding this situational awareness is so important. And realizing that people aren't as as maybe they don't have the same. same motivations as we have. It's very important not to assume that people think like we do. Even though they look like us, they're not necessarily like us with the same motivation. So I hate to do this, guys, but I'm going to have to get going here pretty quick. So I'm going to give you each like, thirty seconds to wrap this up after I say a prayer, and then we're going to go on to our day, okay? Dear Heavenly Father, thank you so much for Sean and David and Karen and Ralph and Bill and everyone that's willing to come forward. and give us their wisdom and their experience. It's just an amazing thing. And we're thankful to you that you've given us the Holy Spirit to walk with us, to show us the way. You haven't left us as orphans, but we can go and we can walk in this day knowing that you are with us, guiding us and protecting us, giving us the answers we need. And we can rest in that fact that we are walking in your protection. and the, uh, the wonderful comfort that there is knowing that, that we're not alone. We're never alone and that you are with us showing us, um, all things. Thank you so very much. That's a great gift. We ask your blessing on the United States of America and president Trump and all the good guys that are working behind the scenes, general Flynn, Admiral Rogers. And I did say general Flynn and, uh, um, not Lieutenant general Flynn, but general Flynn as, uh, is a, uh, a nod to you and the fact that you're walking with us and that if we're paying attention, we're seeing exactly what's going on without necessarily being told you're, you're showing us a new way to think. And we're just thankful for that so very much is that you're growing us. We're learning every single day. You've been a great friend to us and we want to be a friend to you in Jesus precious name. We pray. Amen. All right, let's go around the room. We'll do Sean, David and Karen. Let's go. All right. So just remember, you know, your home security is number one in life. But I would recommend that you have a relationship with Jesus and then learn how to guard your house and then just protect your peace inside. I'd say that most people don't realize we are in a war right now. And they will kill you and your family if they can make you sick, whatever. And I don't think that sixty dollars to save your family or yourself from all this treachery that like Donna just said, we don't even think like at their level, looking through garbage to target you, putting plastic bag on your front door, buying a book like like Sean's is, you know, could save your family and your sixty dollars is worth it. I would add that I don't know if you guys are all aware that a lot of anons, we'll call them, have been swatted in the last week or so. This is becoming a really popular sort of thing. And so they're trying to put the word out. So people like us, really, who've been speaking out could potentially become targets of this. Sometimes they'll just order pizza. Sometimes they'll order pizza after the swatting and expect that you're supposed to pay for it when it comes to your door. It's kind of a weird thing. But what swatting is, if you didn't know, is that somebody calls the police and tells them something terrible is happening at your home. So the police come in full bore, ready to take you into custody or kill you. And you've got to comply and be very peaceful about it. But some people have had it happen a few times. But once local law enforcement understands what's happening, because some of them have never even heard of it, unfortunately, then it becomes easier to deal with in the future. But just be aware that that is happening around. More and more reports of it are happening. And the Department of Defense, one of the departments federally, is investigating it. Well, and one more thing, too, is if somebody has a federal lawsuit that's out there pending, remember, it's a witness tampering to screw with them in any way, shape or form. So be warned. So there you go. You may not have all the information out there to any of the bad guys that are out there. Because I know the good guys and the bad guys both watch. So, yeah, I might be a little careful on what to do. So, fantastic. Thank you guys so much for being on here. So, at that point, part of the show, boys and girls, we need to go to BrennerForGovernor.com. He's the best non-kiss eater who's ever not considered in the history of the United States of America. And I'd like to have a discussion with President Donald J. Trump, the rightful president of the United States and was so in twenty twenty. And cowboy boots, see who wears it better. I win. But at any rate, you guys have a great day today. And you know what? As many of those things that we've talked about, our ultimate protection is God Almighty. If you're walking with God, you've got nothing to worry about. You just walk your walk, have faith. It's faith over fear. And go forward. And you know what? You're going to see miracles. When you do things that are extraordinary and that are extraordinary acts of faith, That's when you're going to see God move and you're going to see him mightily. I'm not talking about a small thing. We're talking about big things. The more you trust in God, the bigger the things that will happen. And all of a sudden it's like, wow, I can step right out of the matrix and watch what happens. It really is true. It's an amazing and I'm telling you an amazing thing that that happened. I have seen it for years. I've actually walked right through a crowd and nobody's seen it happen. And then I turn around and it's a crazy thing. When I got stuck out of the United States years ago and I ended up going through customs and immigration, things happened and it was extraordinary. And I told the story before, I could tell it again, but I'm not going to do it right now. But you don't have to be afraid because We walk by faith. And that is what moves mountains. And trust me in saying that. Maybe question it. But trust God. Trust God in all situations. And you will see mountains move. So with that said, God bless you all. God bless all those whom you love. And God bless America. Have a great day today. And be that force in the world That does change the way people think. That does make them question their reality because we've been bombarded with lies. That does make them question their own behavior and what's moral, whether they're coveting, whether they're doing these transactional things out there. It's wrong. And so there's no leeway there. There's no gray area. It's wrong. And we need to stick to our guns on this, you know, and walk by faith. So have a great day. And I will not be on tomorrow or Friday or Monday. And so I'll be back Tuesday of next week. You guys have a great time because I'm on recon, which is all kinds of fun. So we'll see you guys later. Have a great day.
