Good morning and welcome to Brandenburg News Network. I am Donna Brandenburg. It's the fourth day of August, twenty twenty six and welcome to our show today. Nine o'clock. It's John Tater with Lawful Defense and at ten o'clock, Mike Bambus, Pro Se Mike. So anyhow, I hope everybody's having a good start to the morning and let's see. I gotta figure out what's going on here. Anyhow, I hope everybody is having a great morning and there's so much going on today. It's the rigged primary day and we'll have to see what actually happens out there. But the Fauci thing, I mean, there's so much news to cover. You couldn't even find the bottom of the barrel. Hey, John, how you doing? I'm good. What's happening? Everything and anything. I like your monkey and your bongo shirt. That is fun. Well, that's why I wore it today. We need something to laugh at. That's right. So how's Susie doing? She's good. She's on the other side of the world right now, back at her place for her condo, trying to get things ready to get out of there. I hope soon. Yeah, well, your new bride is absolutely lovely. I love Susie and it's just kind of fun. So we started talking a little bit before we were on this morning. Sometimes we do that, you know, and we were talking about this whole Fauci nonsense and the government nonsense. And I wrote, I should send you this article. I wrote an article, I created an article based on the rigged primary system. and how they're rigging the elections, even through the primaries. Think about this. So we're both with the U.S. Taxpayers Party, which is the Constitution Party, which our answers for the structural problems in government go back to the Constitution, which they have hacked, spit on, and changed over the years to the point where It's now not the way that it was supposed to be, but don't even talk to me anybody about convention estates. That's the idiot wagon right there. Don't even talk to me about what's going on with those guys because it is so off the rails and it's a subversion tactic right now that's going to kill the rest of the chains that bind the monsters. to actually working for us, right? But the problems that we have, if we replace the people in government, which it's a complex problem because we don't have a actual judicial system that works for us. It's revenue raising. We don't have people that are in the sheriff's departments that will actually bring grand juries and indictments Nor will they be able to find a prosecutor who will actually prosecute the crimes. The whole system is absolute garbage trash. A transnational crime syndicate who has overlaid and stolen our country basically through complicity with each other. I mean, they're hiding things for each other. Look at Fauci. Look what happened there. They literally have done nothing since twenty twenty and all we know now before that and let these people run free, hurting more people rather than dealing with a situation. This should have been dealt with a long time ago by the Constitution. Where's the right to a speedy trial? There is none. Speedy trial in front of which judge? Yeah, which judge who's not a judge? Which judge? And that's W-I-T-C-H, which? That works. so so you know you you see you see we're in a we're in a situation right now where there are so many things that they have done to entrench themselves as an established corporate crime syndicate and you know and people are people are kind of uh perplexed as to even where to look because the corporations are complicit they're the ones that are funding the political campaigns to put their sock puppets in office And, you know, you and I both know because we've been around him long enough that these people are stupid. I mean, totally stupid. They're just being told what to say. I saw a picture of Perry on his bus funded by who? And sitting next to him was Michonne Maddox's mother, which is Americans for Prosperity. Well, we understand that money drives the train in this country. So money is the biggest problem. Getting rid of the Federal Reserve and going back to a sound money system, gold and silver, is going to clean a lot of it up. It's not going to take care of all of the problems, but it's going to take care of a lot of problems because then you can't fund these criminals. You can't produce money out of thin air send it to them and make the taxpayer you make make people like you and me the hard-working americans pay for it and that's what's going on right now i i hate to use the word taxpayer because i'm not a taxpayer even though i may pay tax slave right now i am a citizen a period i'm a citizen of america of of the united states of michigan I'm a citizen. I'm not a taxpayer. I'm not a consumer. I'm not any of the other terminology that they use. And we've got to get away from that terminology. And that's a big problem. That's very difficult to get people to understand the new language, that they're not officials, that they're not government leaders, that they're not politicians. They're public functionaries. They have a function in government, and that's it. And that comes from what they've done. They've turned themselves into the next celebrity status, too, in order for us to run to them and thinking that they're going to be our savior. I have heard so many comments online, the only way is the Republican Party. That is a, that is a Hegelian dialect where you only, they give you like, like two choices. You've got the fascist Republicans, which are in with the corporatocracy. and the communist doctrine in the democrat party and as long as they keep people running between the two of them saying things like the only way is the republican party that's a public declaration of lack of belief and faith in god that is literally being herded into a pen like a sheep to be slaughtered by the banksters. They don't care which side wins. They're controlling the money. They're controlling the narrative. They're controlling the people on both sides, and they're putting us more and more into debt. We've got to stop calling the Republicans fascists, although we can call the Democrats communists and socialists because that's what they are. But the use of the word fascist and communist are really the top of the circle if we have a big circle uh the fascists want to control the people and the communists want to control the people at the top so they're really we're really kind of at the bottom of the circle so we really can't call them a fascist Because that's the terminology. But how they do that is the fascist is the corporations and the communist is more like, we're just going to take your money and give it back. It's the same thing. It's all the same. It's all the same. So we really can't use those terms because that's what the left is using. They're calling the Democrats, I mean the Republicans, they're calling Trump a fascist. That's a stupid logic behind their thinking. that the fascism and communism are really the same thing. They're just a different they're they're both in the in the direction of controlling just how the method by which they're going to get to that point. That's all. But they're the same. So I know what you're saying. I don't think Trump's a fascist by any stretch of the imagination. And I don't think half of the people that are working for him or that believe in the mega movement are fascists in any way, because the terminology doesn't fit the situation, except when people use those terminologies in public, it's easy to call Trump a fascist, Trump, they've used all kinds of other terms on him saying he's this and he's that. Those terms are an easy way to destroy somebody's credibility, but they can't use the logic behind it, and they can't tell you why he's a fascist. He's just a fascist. How do I know that? Let me clarify here a minute. Let me clarify who started the parties, first of all, and what the structure is. I'm not talking about individuals. I'm talking about a structure or a system, because the systems that we're talking about are how they message people. and get them to go along with them so that they can continue their theft. The communists will do it through the government directly. The fascist ideology goes through corporations and gives the corporations the power to fund and control the game. It's all who controls the game and they jog it back and forth in order to play ball together. But it really works together. So you look at like insider trading, the insider trading, the foreknowledge, all of that stuff. It is corrupt from top to bottom. There's not one part of it that's clean in the system that they created. to, to, uh, continue to get stronger and more in charge. And it's also like tribalism, you know, we, and, and, uh, the, it goes back to the original discussion between the federalists and the anti-federalists, how they're going to chop this thing up and, or make it into a collectivist system. The systems are themselves flawed to the core. All right, let's go back. I still don't like to use the word fascism. Fascism is government and companies, corporations working together. They are the public-private partnerships. I understand. doesn't control the corporations, but has the laws and regulations to have the corporations become powerful and strong and make more money. So that's the system of how it's set up, of why it's set up. But the government's still in control of those corporations. Those corporations aren't in control of the government. They are through financing and all this other stuff and persuasion and... paying people off. Yes, I understand that, but that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that fascism is a function where the corporations and the government work together to control society. That's what that's all about. And if you look at Trump and you look at the mega movement, I don't see anywhere in that movement where Trump And the corporations are working together to control the company, to control us. I see what I see is Trump is bringing the corporations back to the United States to produce goods and services and provide jobs for the public, because we want to become an industrial based. country again, where we can build and do things because that's what makes us prosper. That's what gives us the power is to get our country to be able to produce everything and not be reliant on another country. So in fact, he is bringing the companies back, but they're not in control of him. Not at all. There's your point right there is that I don't think that President Trump see, we always we actually always agree on everything. It's the way we approach it, like most things. But President Trump was a true outsider and he is using the vehicles or the weapons that they left on the table in order to write this nation. That's how I see it. So I don't really see him. You know, the Republicans attack President Trump is as hard or harder You know, the the the machine, the establishment machine attacked him as hard or harder than the Democrats did. So I see President Trump as a true outsider who's just smart enough to pick the weapons up that are on the table. I don't equate that what I'm saying about fascists to to to translate into a personal attack on President Trump, because I do think he's an outsider. And I think you guys. It's not you that's calling them a fascist, though. It's the general public. It's the news media. And that's what we got to stop. We got to say, wait a minute, wait a minute. You're going to call them a fascist. Please explain that to me. What is fascism? If you're going to use the term, give me a definition of what a fascist is so I can relay that to what you're seeing. Otherwise, name-calling is the easiest way our government has... to sway public opinion, because that's all they do. They name call. Label and run it off of a label, not fact. That's right. How did Pelosi put it? The ad smear campaign, you write the smear, goes into the newspaper, and they smear the public, they smear the opinion of the person running for office. And that's what they've been doing all along with Trump. They've been calling him a name, warmonger, because he's been in in Iran for, what, six months already? Oh, man, we've been at war for a long time. How about all the other wars that we've gone through, where we've actually had boots on the ground, where we actually killed soldiers? What are we talking about? Are you comparing apples with apples or are you bananas with pineapples? You're not there. You served in the Middle East. So with your perspective on this, you have a lot of knowledge. Yeah, let's correct that. I didn't serve in the Middle East. I served in Desert Storm, but I was at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. And since I'm running for office now, I don't want my opponent to pick that up and say, you're lying. You never served in the Middle East. That's correct. I never did. I did serve in Desert Storm. And so there's a big difference there because mine was stateside. But what I was doing was working on the medical forces. That was my job at Fort Sam Houston. We were trying to get the new medical forces to be able to travel as quickly and as fast with the cores of the armies because they could get up and move overnight, and the medical people couldn't do that. They had all this equipment and all these people and patients. hospital beds and things that they had to move. They couldn't move it as quickly as the army could move. So we were there to try to modulize exactly what the soldiers needed to use or what the commanders needed to use and to have in the field when somebody got hurt in the field. So we were going to modulize the medical system. We would have a surgical team. We'd have a regular general team. We'd have a dental team. And we were able to plug these things in as we needed them. And that was my job, to come up with something to modulize the medical forces. Now, I was eliminated and not eliminated. I came back to the... i came back to being a civilian before this thing finally took hold so i don't know what the situation was i only knew what i was there to do and what what job i had but no i was not in the middle east but i was talking to all the commanders coming back from the middle east everybody that was there especially on the medical side we we had uh um What do they call it? Deprogramming? It wasn't deprogramming. They were able to give me the information to help. Debriefing. Debriefing. Help me organize and get the medical forces better and more equipped to do their job. So, no, I was not in deserts or I was not in country. Well, I tell you, whenever we're in a war and we're in a war right now, it's an irregular warfare that we're in right now. And I think that people need to realize that each and every person is significant in the role that God's given us to play in a war, and especially this kind of war, an irregular war, which is all about deception, disinformation, misinformation, trying to capture people as captured assets and turn them into agents that actually work for the other side. So like, to your point, the narrative that's out there is a very, very dangerous one when it comes to just people throwing out headlines with no facts behind it, no work to find out what it really means. When we grab onto those headlines without doing our research, our own research, not listening to somebody else, we have then become part of the assets of the enemy. So you gotta be real careful for everyone out there to realize that you have a part to play in this and you're gonna be on one side or the other side, potentially on an hour to hour basis, depending on who we're listening to. You know, it takes seven plus soldiers behind the lines doing their particular jobs in order to keep that one infantry man in the field fighting. Take seven other people plus, seven plus, because we don't count some of the ancillary things that are going on, but we do need logistics, we do need transportation, we do need medical, we do need, and there's a whole series of uh uh individuals behind that one foot soldier that's out there fighting so it's it's not a it's not a matter of picking up a troop and sending that troop out into the field a couple of years ago it was i was listening to a lot of these propagandists who said oh they are building a massive chinese army in uh They used Fort Hood at one point, which was a total BS deal. And then they said in Canada, they're just over the border. They're ready to charge into the United States. And I says, you're telling me that they have a division of Chinese out there and that's it? I says, who's providing their ammunition? Who's providing their food? Who's providing their medical? Who's providing all this? So where's the rest of the people? You can't just have a division of foot soldiers out there fighting because there's no structure behind it. Nothing to help. You know, you're going to run out of ammunition eventually. Somebody's got to get to the bullets. And a basic load for an individual foot soldier is not ten thousand rounds. I don't know exactly the number, but it's not a lot of ammunition because then he can't walk. He's carrying this gun and a backpack and all this ammunition, which has a lot of weight to it. And how is he going to fight with all that stuff on him? You know, the stories that I hear from a lot of people that are out there that really have no clue of what's going on, they come up with all of these stories. The Chinese are going to invade us any day now. They're going to come across the border. No, they're not going to do that. They can't do that. They don't have the equipment to do that. They don't have the backing to do that. Well, same thing when we went to Desert Storm. We couldn't just send the infantrymen or the combat arms people infantry cannons and tanks and those. We couldn't just send those people to war all by themselves without the backing to keep that force in action. So people need to logically think when they start coming up with all these stories. And these are fear stories that are, and who knows who put this propaganda out. It could be the deep state that's trying to keep us all frightened and in our homes. We got to get away from the fear. We got to get away from the fear because you can't live in fear. If you live in fear, then you don't think. Then you're constantly trying to hide somewhere, trying to take shelter, rather than see what can I do to fix the problems. This is where we've been all of our lives. Do you remember in the fifties where everybody was digging bomb shelters in their basement because we're going to have a nuclear war any day and we have to have this bomb shelter and we have to stockpile it with food? How about two thousand when we changed the millennium crisis? Oh, my God, that was terrible. Yeah, Y-to-K, everybody was stockpiling food and water and whatnot and whatnot. And what happened the next year? Nothing. And you spent all that money and all that time and all that energy and all that fear on trying to protect yourself from what? That wasn't going to happen anyway. And then we had climate change, all these climate change stories. Got to stop using gasoline. You got to ride your bicycle. You got to do this. You got to do that. Got to save the planet because ten years from now, we won't be alive. What a bunch of crap. This is all fear. And the fear mongering has been going on for a long, long time. When we get into fear, we miss the actual details of what's going on. And fear drives us into areas that will lead to our own demise rather than responding, we'll react. And that's never good. If you've got time to plan and have a contingency plan, I think everybody should have a contingency plan always, no matter what. not based on necessarily an event. However, an event can be a great motivator to get people to think to your point on the invading the united states i don't think that that warfare is going to look like it did in the past i found out yesterday i did not know this but i found out yesterday that there's a drone base right next to our uh... military facility down by battle creek and i thought that's interesting because i think we're going to go to smaller type of warfare you know what they've been doing it communications and our perceptions and trying to to grab our souls basically and to have us jump on one thing or another all the time I mean everybody's like this all the time right but I think what's gonna happen is the same thing with the cocaine trafficking from Central and South America they used to have larger Larger vehicles to bring it up to the United States because the United States pays most money for drugs and children that they traffic So now what they've done like with the cocaine boats is they've done partially submersibles Partial submersibles and if they get a hundred of them headed up to the United States headed north They don't really care. They really don't care if if you know if we shoot out about I don't know ninety percent of it if they get ten percent through it's still worth it and the people dying in this they don't care they're just pawns i i suspect that those people that are the drug runners i suspect that they're probably holding a gun to their family members and extorting extorting their behavior but don't know but the whole thing is is a little crazy right now Yeah, the drug running and the child trafficking and the human trafficking obviously is a big problem that we have to resolve. And the way we can resolve it is by getting people to be more aware of what's around them, who's going, what's happening. And we just need to know what's going on in our neighborhood, what's going on down the street, what's going on behind our back. We have to be aware of the situation because when we're not aware of the situations, then we can be taken advantage of and we could be abused. But the problem is the whole thing requires you to be more mentally alive what's going on. When you were in the military, what kind of training did they give you to help your critical thinking processes and help you to evaluate? Well, since I was in the, I did go through basic training. That was a tough time. I mean, I'm glad I did. I wouldn't do it again, but we were constantly under fire by the drill instructors, and they were constantly at us, couldn't walk in the company area, had to run everywhere. I had to go do all kinds of physical stuff, which was never my forte to begin with. It was a real job for me. But then again, in the classrooms, too, they would teach you stuff and they would make you run two, three miles. And then they'd set you in the chair and say, OK, now listen to us give you this boring lecture. And if you fall asleep, you're going to have this rifle over your head and you're going to stand there for a half an hour or an hour with that rifle over your head. So it was I mean, they were they were pushing. They were very difficult to deal with. But the rest of my training after I became an officer came through officer school where they were basic officer and then advanced and then commanding general staff. And we learned a lot of different things, different war tactics, how things were done. So we had a different, I had a different total philosophy than what I did as an enlisted, but I did go through both. So I did see both sides of the coin. What specifically did they teach me to stay alert and alive? Well, if you didn't stay alert and alive, you got a got a what they call a punji stick or a punji stick or whatever with that big Q-tip smacked at the back of your head or something like that, or you were down doing pushups. So you had to stay awake or you had to do some physical pushups. pain in the process. As a parent, I used to make my kids run laps around the house when they were naughty. Okay. There you go. There was one guy, one character in our group that couldn't keep in step. Everybody's doing left, right, and he's doing right, left. So what they did is they made him run around the platoon, which is thirty men. with a rifle over his head. And he had to run around. And if we were running, the platoon was running, he had to run along the platoon and still get in front of the platoon without getting run over. You know, things that I didn't want to do. Did he learn? I think he got the message eventually. Some people never get the message, no matter what, but a lot of people that are in the basic training do get the message. They don't want to do it again. Okay, this is funny. This is hilarious to me. I'm that person that would be sitting there just absolutely losing it laughing if I saw something like that. I would be absolutely losing it, disabled laughing. That is funny. So I had somebody tell me about a different evaluation this week. It's actually my – I'm on the ballot. We don't do the primary nonsense election rigging crap that the Republicans and Democrats do because it's election rigging. They get how many months – worth of free advertising that the government and the corporations basically fund during the primary season. So you've got name recognition, right? Amongst other things. But anyhow, I'm on the ballot for governor of Michigan through the U.S. Taxpayers Party, which is the Michigan affiliate of the Constitution Party here in Michigan. And you are running in the U.S. Taxpayers Party also. And what are you running for, sir? The thirty-second district House seat. There's presently a Democrat in there. That Democrat has already got the second letter to just our name from the U.S. Taxpayer Party to the Constitution Party. He has not responded the first letter. He's got a couple more days or a week yet to go to respond to the second letter. if he chooses not to respond to the second letter he's going to get a third letter then he's going to have a lawsuit and if things work out this is your house rep yes okay and if things don't work out uh by the third letter he will have a lawsuit just before election what is his name jimmy wilson Jimmy Wilson. Better wise up there, dude, because it's coming. So, yeah, my Lieutenant Governor candidate is Robert Cowper, and he is amazing. People have no idea what this guy has done. He has survived two helicopter crashes in his service. He was overseas. He was a scout. He's incredible. He knows the military codes, the war manual, all of this stuff. It is incredible how knowledgeable he is in areas that I'm not, which is important because you don't want to have the same people on a team. You want to have people that have boss-level strengths so that we help each other and fill the gaps. Anyhow, I was over at his and Tara's house this week when we were at the parade in Yale, in Yale, Michigan, which was absolutely fantastic. We had such a great time. In fact, I'll put a little video up here in a minute because it's fun. And next time, you've got to go with us. It was great. You can throw candy out of the side of the truck or something like that. That'd be fantastic. You'll be the candy manager, okay, while we're running around like a bunch of savages. I think I ran almost the whole way, which is about one point one point seven five miles. So I had a good workout that morning and it was it was fantastic. So anyhow, we were talking about how to teach people to evaluate. And Robert brought up the fact that he taught his kids a method called SALUTE as a standard military intelligence acronym used for structural or structured observation and reporting. And I think this is really important. And I think also it's one of those things that all of us, we need more training. All of us do. how to observe adjust pivot have plans in our daily lives because they trained this out of us with our failed education system now it wasn't failed when you were a teacher but it sure as heck has failed right now because they're teaching people how to be basically workforce slaves not to think for themselves. So I thought this was interesting. So S-A-L-U-T-E. S stands for size. So number of personnel, vehicles, or other assets, or an estimate of the group or object size. Now, in our irregular warfare we can look at that as say like we've got uh blm or antifa or any of these activists indivisible or whatever it is they have out there the the satanic groups that are out there that are teaching our kids or targeting our kids to go and commit horrible acts of violence we're going to get into that another day So SA, A stands for activity, what the observed element is doing, moving, digging in, observing or attacking. L, location, where it is, grid coordinates, landmarks, direction, distance from a known point. So that's S-A-L. U, unit or uniform, affiliation, unit identification, or distinctive clothing markings, if known. So when you look at these activist groups, years ago I was doing aerial evaluations as well as crowd... observation so I got in and I looked at all of these crowd scenes that were being posted everywhere and I can tell you they had they had exact matches of colors because I have I have a skill I have the opposite of male colorblindness and female it is the opposite gives me the ability to see over two million colors where a normal person only sees about two hundred and fifty six they had exact matches and And things that they were communicating through color and uniforms. And the people that were moving people around had gloves on in certain colors. And they were directing people. So that's an important thing to know. T stands for time. When the observation occurred, date and time. Not the time of the report. So remember when all of us old gardenons were doing time stamps in the Q-posts. We were looking at that timestamp and looking at what was the significance of those timestamps as well as when it was posted, why, and what that coordinated with. You can do that in daily life by looking at when things are happening, record it so that you can also look at other events going on at the same time. like fires that are being started because these are not random they're starting and they started them in canada in the fires of the chicago fires there were many fires going on across wisconsin etc at the same exact time it was a coordinated attack And equipment, weapons, vehicles, gear, or other equipment seen. So that's S-A-L-U-T-E. And I think that some of the training that goes on in the military needs to move into the civilian space so that we become more critical thinkers and able to really thrive in the environment we have, which is a hostile environment. So anyhow, my thought on the training that you've had also and making the connection there. Well, that's a good thing. When I was teaching, we called it critical thinking. which is kind of similar in nature, although we didn't have that. We didn't. I was going to say we didn't have a cute little acronym for it, like the military does. Military does a lot of that stuff. Well, we would um what depends what i was teaching at the when i was teaching woodshop uh the critical thinking was to uh look at the project read the blueprint or read the read the plan uh decide decide how to use that plan or what to do uh measure your project before you cut it, be sure it was together, those kind of things. In the English class, when I taught English, it was reading different prose or stories or whatever, and critically think about those particular stories. Why did the author say this? Or why did the author do that? Or why did that person why did the character in the story behave a certain way uh so those were kind of the critical thinkings that we would do uh for my own particular kids uh when i took my son as a boy scout out into the field and uh you know you have to build a fire how do you build a fire what do you do what do you need to build a fire uh how do you because you could In order to get to your next level, which I think was second class or whatever, or even Tenderfoot, I don't remember now, you had to light a fire with one match. You couldn't do two matches, so you had to build a fire first. How do you build a fire? What do you do to put the kindling together for a little kid? I was eleven years old, twelve years old. You had to do the critical thinking process as to how to do something, how to cook something, how to build a tent, so on and so forth. And those critical thinking processes carried on as you get older, because when you were eleven, it was building a fire. But when you're when you're fifteen, sixteen years old and you're working on a project, a house or whatever, doing construction work on a house, what do you have to do to get to that point? And so our critical thinking was a different process, but similar to what the military is doing. But in fact, that the military, whether where they use salute, uh you know you don't have a unit out there but but but if you're looking if you are in the field doing that as a military soldier you would have to know you know what the uniform is uh what identification markers where the person where where the location is what's the time of date that kind of that's a different kind of critical thinking for a different process but they worked in the same way uh in other words you got to think about what you're doing before you get involved before you start doing something. You just don't jump off the, I got this box of parts here. I'm going to try to put this together without looking at the blueprint or without looking at the directions. Yeah. So you were an Eagle Scout, weren't you? I was. Yes, I am. My dad was too. You never was, you are. Okay. Okay. Well, he's no longer with us. So my point is, is that since dad's in heaven, he was. So does that make him the Eagle Scout in heaven? I guess it does, doesn't it? Once you're an Eagle Scout, you're an Eagle Scout wherever. Just like a colonel. Once you're a colonel, you're a colonel. Unless you get stripped of that rank or you give it up one or the other. But once you are, you are. So, you know, that goes with you forever, which is a good thing. There you go. Salute, Dad. You're up there. And my dad was a military guy, too. And wow, was he a tough, tough dad. He was a tough dad, and I loved him for it. Because you know what? When the scouts were effective, because I don't really think they are anymore. I don't like the way everything's been infiltrated and kind of neutered. I agree. It's all been neutered. And I feel bad about that because the things that we did when we were kids, you know, I was part of a girl scouting type organization. And it was great. We had a great time together. It was fantastic. And I remember having slumber parties and everything. And it was a lot of fun and we did things that little girls like to do. And honestly, I don't really think that any of us would have wanted to have any boys in our parties because we were doing things like doing crafts and that sort of thing at the time. And I think the same thing that I think it's good for people to get together with people who are like-minded. I don't have any problems with that and I don't feel like we should say, well, you have to accept us in any way, shape, or form. That is not okay. Make your own groups. Why try to wreck other people's groups that they've put together? I see no point to it, but personally, that's just the way I am. Well, when I was a scout, I got to throw this out just because I thought this was pretty cool. There was, and I didn't think it was cool at the time, But there was a Scoutmaster, assistant Scoutmaster name, Oles, Mr. Oles. And he would make us get a key to the back door. We'd be out playing or doing whatever we were doing or having dinner outside in the field or doing a hike or whatever. And in order to get back into the cabin, you had to get a key to the back door. And the key to the back door was you had to go out and find a leaf or a rock or something and identify it, in order to get in. I had to be right. You go out in the field and you found a maple leaf, you had to bring it to him and say, this is a maple leaf, and you could get in the back door. If you didn't, you had to go back out and find something else. So that gave the kids in general an opportunity to learn more about nature, to be able to identify things in nature, that we wouldn't have otherwise, probably never would have paid any attention to. So that was kind of a cool thing to do. I think it's really cool. I just think it's really, really awesome. The choices that we have, I think they're awesome. I'm not against, I'm not one of these people that say, oh, men and women can't be together, kind of nonsense or anything like that. I took shop rather than home ec, because I already had the home ec skills. And I looked at that because at that time I was like the only one, you know, I'm sixty two years old next month. And I was the only one who was female in our shop classes. And which was which was kind of interesting. I got an awful lot of of the guys liking to tease me and that sort of thing, which is which was kind of fun. But it was all good humored. I mean, I didn't feel like, oh, you know, I'm the only one being picked on. if you can't if you can't stand the heat get the hell out of the kitchen kind of thing right so and it was it was it was all good humored stuff it wasn't malicious or anything like that so but but you know the world is the world is a lot more complex than what most want to acknowledge it's not just labels and and you know, putting people into little pens and such. And if you don't like something, make your own group. So, you know, that's how I feel about it. But there it is. I wanted to, you know what, I'm going to put something up. It was, I did like a little compilation of our parade. Somebody just... And I want to say hi to a person that popped up on the chat this morning. This would be Tom Always Learning. Hey, Tom. So he said, hey, Don, it was awesome to see you at our parade. You have my vote. Thank you so much. And I'm going to tell you what. So, John, I'm going to volunteer you as a candidate of the U.S. Taxpayers Party. You've got to come to the next parade, okay? It was way fun. And the people in Yale... I am totally in love with that town and I wouldn't say that just to say it we were talking to people you know running around and they would say things like well what party are you running on the Republican or Democrat I'm like neither it's a crime syndicate I'm running as an American for the people save yourself Vote them all out. They're all criminals. And people were like, you got my vote. And I'm like, I just want to write this thing because I want to write this thing. I'm going to come home and play with my bees, my garden, and hang out with real people. And I'm going to tell you what, the people that were in Yale, they were so wonderful. I mean, I could literally just, I could have stopped at any place along that parade route And sat down as just real people, had a beer or something like that, and just hung out together and had a nice afternoon. It was an absolutely beautiful, wonderful town. They had a fair set up there with the carnival rides and such. And it was an art, you know, they had art and booths and such around the street. They did a fantastic job. I could have spent the whole weekend there just hanging out, just enjoying myself. Not running for office, but just hanging out with good people. It was wonderful. Let me throw out this little compilation. Let's see if I can get it here. on my Telegram account. And y'all can find me on at Brandenburg, the number four M-I on Telegram, as well as X. So I am the only one that posts there. I'm the only one that answers answers posts or anything and so when you when you see me on any posts on telegram or exits me and i do answer every single post that's on there personally i don't have staff i am staff just like i am here right i'm running like five different different uh screens all at the same time here so if i looking around and distracted, I'm probably looking at the chats in other areas. So that's true. So Donna Brandenburg's staff, because I really think that we have to have the skill to run things or know what we're doing without having to rely on, it's nice to have a team, I want to tell you that, but the political team is different. But we need to have the skills to be able to think for ourselves not be sock puppets that are working for the corporations out there being told what to do. And I'm going to tell you what, when I look at the candidates out there, they're all sock puppets. That's what they are, not on the U.S. Taxpayers Party, because I would have probably made sure that the vetting process that they were filtered out we have a couple people that are still I'm still wondering about a little bit but more more or less you know everybody is is a good person but this the upping of the skill set needs to be needs to happen across the board okay and that means don't try to run somebody around like a little truck Get in there and figure out how to do it and do it yourself because that is an important part of life. It is growing up. So hang on, I'm going to, I'll put this up for you. Here's a shout out for Tom out there on the parade. I did Byron Township too. I did Byron Days Parade. It was fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. I'm like, these are my peeps going to the parades. It's just normal people that just want to live their life and tell everybody to leave them the hell alone. You know, especially the government. Okay, here we go guys. Here's some pictures from Yale, Michigan. It was great. I love these guys. That was prep work getting ready. So we had a lot of fun. It was great. And thank you to everybody that came out again, you know. So anyhow. Well, where else do you want to go? I have not heard back from Mike. Let's see. No. Unfortunately, I can't hang too long with you because I have to be elsewhere. But I guess. That's okay. we should talk about the primary even though that's like it's kind of after the fact today because the primary is happening today and some people voted uh absentee so that was done but um criminally voting absentee well i did Well, actually, I filled my ballot out absentee and I took it in yesterday. And I like, actually, Susie wanted to go to the polls today and take the ballots in. But she's not. Did you get my text messages last few days? Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Would you like to give everybody an update a minute? I'm on with John, and if you can't come on, I understand. So would you like to tell everybody an update on your dad? Because everybody loves your dad. I could just put you on speakerphone if you want to say something. Hang on. Okay. So this is Mike, Pro Se Mike. And I just called him a minute. We'll see. He's going to give us an update on his dad, Ed Bambus, because he is a hero to so many of us. And you are so loved, Mike. And so is your dad. So what's going on with Ed? Well, I had to take him back into the emergency. He had his gallbladder out. His gallbladder had gone septic. And so on the thirteenth, he had that taken out. And since the surgery, Oh. So he was upset about the fact that he couldn't go to the funeral because it was out of state. And so we had managed to get it set up to where the service and everything was going to be done by Zoom. So he was able to watch it. And on Friday, the day of the service, He was in bad shape. I mean, he didn't look good. He was just, everything was not right. And so I got through the service and then I took him to emergency, to Providence Hospital in Novi. And they immediately did an x-ray and found that he had, and I don't know all the medical technical terms, But he had fluid that wasn't in the lungs. It was outside the lungs. It was between the lungs and the membrane that contains the lungs. And I know there's a technical term for it, and I don't remember what it is. Is it pleurisy? Something like that, yeah. So then they later on, they took him and did a CAT scan, and they found an abscess on his liver. So they were trying to debate what to do. And then at three thirty in the morning, they transported him from Providence Hospital to Botsford Hospital, which is where he had the gallbladder taken out at. They, in turn, also did a series of tests and scans. And by later that morning, I was told by a different doctor that he had an obstruction. And the best way I can describe the obstruction they were referring to was your insides are kind of like an intersection on a highway. So when things come through, some of it goes to stomach, some goes liver, some goes to kidneys. And it was an obstruction there. They wanted to do exploratory surgery. And I'm like, you know what? I'm getting a roundhouse BS here. So I'm getting conflicting stories from the same tests by different hospitals and doctors. So I got on the phone, started making calls to people that I know out in the medical industry that I trust and found out that they should have given him a steroid if that was the case of this obstruction. Confronted them on that and they were like, well, yeah, we were thinking about it. And I'm like, you know what? I'm done with this. So I ran to the house, got a bunch of documents, went back, and two of the doctors showed up in his room. Again, they started the, you know, very general, didn't want to really answer questions. And I thought, this is it. I'm done. I said, let you guys know right now. I said, this is for you. They're like, what's this? I said, you're now served. They're like, what do you mean? I said, I am his POA, number one. Number two, you have now been served with a certificate of trust. His biometrics are in biometric trust. And the one doctor all of a sudden snapped to attention and he says, and I am the trustee. And he says, okay. He immediately called for an RN. She came in. He gave her the documents. He said, you immediately put this into his system, into his file. From that moment forward, they answered every one of my questions without hesitation. So what happened, it wasn't an actual obstruction. It was a series of abscess, both outside and partly in the liver. and what they wanted to do is they wanted to go in and drain them and then do a biopsy on the fluid that came out to see what it is so that was the procedure he had yesterday um it was a wasn't clear fluid uh it was uh kind of you know it was pussy so they did a biopsy on it to try and find out what kind of infections they could curtail the antibiotics to the infection Originally, they were going to put a tube in them to drain, but because of how close it was to the right lung, they didn't want to take the chance. So they've got them on heavy antibiotics, and they should be curtailing the antibiotics to the infection because of the results of the biopsy. So he yesterday actually ate a full dinner first time in three weeks. And so his spirits are a lot better. He's looking better. He's talking better. So he is on the way back to recovery. And so he may be released either today or tomorrow. Well, you know what? I want to stop right now and let's say a prayer for your dad real quick. And I'd like to ask everybody out there to take a minute. We're just going to pray specifically for Ad. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you so much for the bravery that... the honor that that Ed has lived his entire life we are so thankful for him and everything he's done to share to share the blessings that he's had and we ask that you would wrap your arms around him that you would give him your favor that you would touch him and heal him that his body would be completely healed and that you would take All of the difficulties, the infection and everything and just one touch from you and it's all healed. And we ask that you would bless him with healing as well as your presence and that you would continue to guide Mike who's been his protector and defender through all of this. And the knowledge that you've given Mike is just so incredible. The fact that you prepare us for what's ahead of us always is awe inspiring. You have truly prepared them for anything that comes their way. And bless Mike, give him the words and the guidance and the counsel. continue to assist his dad we're so grateful for everything you've done for us and for them and we we hand the entire situation over to you the doctors and nurses and such and let it all be covered by your blessings in your favor in Jesus name we pray amen Thank you. You're welcome. Well, you have a great day. Tell Ed that myself and everybody here on BNN is absolutely going to keep him in our hearts and prayers. And thank you very much. And let's shoot for next Tuesday, see how your dad's doing, and then let me know what's going on, okay? Sounds good. Sounds good. Awesome. Thanks, Mike. All right. Thank you. See you, Mike. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. okay well there we go so everybody uh let's let's uh absolutely put this in our in the fronts of our minds to to pray for them because that family has been through so much it's incredible so i'm i'm i'm very honored to know mike and uh and be able to call him a friend he's a great guy let me play see if i can play this instagram a minute because this is the one that that helped um Donna, I hate to say this, but it's ten oh four and I got to get rolling. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Well, thanks for being on. Let's do this. I'm going to play that in a minute. You can run to your next activity. But give everybody what's going on with the Magnificent Republic and what you're doing there and how to get on your Zoom. Well, Magnificent Republic will be on Zoom this Wednesday. I'll send out invites for everybody. What we are talking about is generally last week was general election. I'm not sure where we're going to go this week. We have been looking at Norton versus Shelby County by the Supreme Court, their decision, which covers a lot more detail as to what the court case specifically was about and why it is critical that we understand the terminology and why, remember what I said earlier, that if you uh control the language you control the narrative so we've got to get away from the narrative of the deep state and uh and the criminals that are trying to make us uh that are putting us in fear and frightening us to behave a certain way we got to get away from the terminology that they've been using all these years to control us and we have to move into a new paradigm where we understand what the republic is all about, because it's the republic that's going to save us, nothing else. Absolutely. And the political parties are captured assets that they're using to manipulate our elections, our rigged election systems. We haven't had an honest election in decades. So the evidence keeps coming out. It's not just an opinion. It's actually looking at at the evidence, even listening to people and asking them a question. Most of the clerks don't even know how they've rigged the elections. We're going to have to start thinking for ourselves and doing what needs to be done. So thanks for being on, John. If you want to leave at any point in time, tell Susie much love, hugs and kisses for Susie. And she's just a she's just a beautiful, wonderful woman. You you you made out like a bandit with Susie. Well, What can I say? She makes you look good, dude. That's all I can say. Thanks. I'll let her know that. we're friends enough that we can i think tease each other so there you go all right well i'm going to go ahead and put this back up on the screen so everybody can see but thanks for being on and everybody go to go to john's uh site email him and he will get you in the loop with with what to do in actual an actual being able to fight for yourself with a lawful defense so i'm going to play this just a minute because i think you'll you all will enjoy hi everyone Okay, let's see if I can get this. And you do that because you have to? Yeah, I don't have enough income. Veteran Ed Bambus is still working at a Meijer supermarket in Detroit at eighty-eight years old. You have a wife? She passed away seven years ago. Bambus says after losing his pension, he had to sell his house to pay for his wife's medical bills when she was sick, which is why he's still working. I try very hard to go to her gravesite every day. Samuel Wiedenhofer is an Australian content creator who travels the world and posts acts of kindness on his TikTok page. He teamed up with a Detroit-based influencer to find Ed. Wiedenhofer does call-outs on his social media asking people to nominate others who might need some help. Did you know anyone emailed me yet? He says these acts of kindness make him feel closer to his aunt. who died by suicide when he was ten. I got a comment on my Facebook post saying, hey, there's a guy who is called Ed who works at Maya. Something just felt like, okay, I have to go there. I have to go to Maya and see what this is about. I'd like to share your story and try and, you know, get people to help you retire. Well, thank you. Of course. Wiedenhofer started a GoFundMe for Ed to give him a chance to retire. which has turned the heads of many big names, such as singer Charlie Puth. He plans to surprise Ed with the money soon, and the GoFundMe has already raised more than one point five million dollars. Ah, yeah. Never did I think, like, losing Mahani to suicide would amount to this. I know Mahani's looking damn proud. This is impossible without every one of you supporting. And from the bottom of my heart, I am truly so grateful. I work five days a week, eight hours a day. And you do that because you have to? Yeah, I don't have enough income. Okay, so so I think this is I think this is so significant because not only You know this guy took it upon himself to do to do this to help other people. It's an extraordinary story because it's filled with so much purpose and an individual doing it not having to be part of a crowd but just saying hey i'm going to do this and i'm going to make the world a better place i think it's absolutely wonderful and uh i'm gonna see if i can pull one more thing up here today because i want to give a shout out to those people in yale i had so much fun it was great and uh And people really can feel very heartened about this in the fact that there's, oh, let's see. Oh, I already played it, so we've already seen that. So anyhow, let's go to prayer right now, and then we're going to go to our day because I have another full day ahead of me today, and it's going to continue to go in that direction. Finding solutions, I'm working on a manual so that everybody can know exactly what we're going to do. to write this mess, right? and um i i and i think it's going to be a real fun process to go through to take feedback and i would like feedback from everyone in what they want to see done and to make it the easiest way to get a hold of me as possible honestly the best way to contact me is through my cell phone with text messages because i can i can process a lot of stuff through text message and just reaching out to me you know and i really think this is the way we should do it is being able to honestly talk to people and or communicate to people directly without the freaking staff all the time that most sock puppets need. to have a layer of protection so they don't really have to talk to anybody I actually want to talk to people so you can go through my telegram channel you can go through my ex account either way you can get a hold of me that way put something in the comments or direct message me I will absolutely respond the other thing is you can get a hold of me through my phone number too and text me first because I can carry on a ton of conversations through text messages I will get back to you I absolutely will personally without staff I'm staff okay that's the way this thing is supposed to work not having the attorneys protect us or staff creating messages or anything like that we should be able to talk to each other and actually communicate what what we want to see done so that doesn't mean by making plea for for a job or anything like that because i think the politics need the money needs to come out of the political industrial conflict complex because it's a problem so anyhow there you go x telegram that's how you get a hold of me if you want to call my phone number six one six four three zero four four one zero or text me um Be my guest. I'd love to hear from all of you. So anyhow, let's go to prayers right now. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you so much for being with us. We are so amazed at how you have made the path in front of us absolutely straight. All we have to do is follow you, listen to your instruction manual, the Bible. You've given us everything we need to know how to live in harmony with our neighbors. in peace and and honestly get all those things that we really desire in life which is peace love and joy all the other stuff the material things it doesn't matter I Firmly believe in that. When we seek you first, all the rest are added to us. Thank you for John and Mike and Ed and all the wonderful patriots out there. Tom, who made comments today, and all the other people are commenting on the chats. Diane and Leb and our regular audience, but also the new people that are coming here. So thankful that we can talk and sit down as one family, your family, united under you. Not above you, not trying to be you, but under you. We're thankful for your love and your guidance in that. I ask that you would give us the feet to walk that path, the strength, the provision, the direction, the discernment, and all the other gifts of the Spirit in walking the path that you have for us in service to you and to our brothers and sisters, the human race here that you have given us to live with. Thank you so very much. We love you so much. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. So there we go, boys and girls. We're going to go to that part of the show. Let's see. I've got to get my hands figured out. Ding, ding, ding, ding. Go to brandenburgforgovernor.com, which is still in process, in progress right now because we're retooling it. because I'm the best non-conceiver who's ever not conceived in the history of the United States of America. And I want to have a discussion with the rightful president of the United States, President Donald J. Trump in cowboy boots. I wear them better because I wear them every day. And then once that's settled, we're going to go on to talk about what's really happening here. For all the shills that are out there attacking President Trump having an issue with them and people that are just trying to see through the fog of war there's a lot more going on out there than the headlines that want to get your attention and go like this to get you to look at other things there's a structure going on there's an attack right now the Straits of Hormuz it's about taking down the banksters the Bank of London and I want to tell you right now I had a great time visiting with some people such as my Green Beret friends and such recently to look at this structure of subversion behind the scenes. And I'm going to tell you what, having a great time with no NDAs, I can say whatever the hell I want to say, okay? And I will, I promise you. The structure that's going on behind the scenes, it's all about the money. They don't care if Republicans or Democrats win because they control the game. So in order to change what's happening in the United States, we have to stand together as Americans. We cannot stand under a label or a cult or anything like that. We need to be. it a feed right now who decisions based on evidence other mess feed this is hilarious keep going guys you're still gonna end up dealing with a hundred thousand little Brandenburg's on tour and every other network out there because I'm not gonna stop okay I have a an oath I took And that oath is to uphold and defend the constitution and Americans, not ideologies, not it is. Not parties, nothing like that. I took an oath to the constitution and to the. keep it up i'm gonna keep going just keep it up i'm gonna keep going i've got all kinds of patients and all day long i can do this all day long so if you notice that my camera froze so why did it freeze right then and there when i was talking about the establishment and the banksters and the and even the texters you know like tech tech mafia out there and such because we're not going to stop until we get this thing righted because people because of their tactics and such we aren't going to stop if you hang with me we're going to continue to go So through the interruptions, through the attacks, doesn't make any difference. They think that there's only one path. There's a million paths and I can do this all day long. Trust me. So anyhow, as we go forward, we're going to stand together as one, one nation, one state, one nation, one people under God. And there's no end to this fight. until we get this thing righted now do i believe that humanly that we can write everything absolutely not we're in a spiritual war and we also need to understand the weapons of their warfare that they're using against us and realize that if they block one one way around their criminality god will open a window trust me it's this this is not one that they can win nothing can stop what's coming The end game is when Jesus comes back and writes all of this. And the demonic is in a point of weakness right now because there's so many of us who live by the code of faith in God, serving God, not of serving money, not in individual profiting and such. That doesn't matter. That's the golden calf. Some of us have learned not to follow their fake gods that they put out there. I'm not going to follow it. Asherah, golden calf, they've all reemerged. They never really went away. It's always been the same game to capture our attention and move us away from God. If you look at all of the systems out there and what they've done to. infiltrate and take us down it's always the same thing you guys have already lost it's going to be fantastic and i can't wait to see the end game here and watch the true justice not the fake justice in the courts but true justice come around and and have accountability it's going to be fantastic so in at any rate we've already won this war it's just playing it out and we're kind of like when you're in a grocery store crashing the cleanup aisle eight We're there right now, and it's not going to change the trajectory of where we're going. So we're going to continue to expose the political parties. Let's see if they freeze my camera again. The political parties, the cult of Republicans and the cult of Democrats, the captured assets, which I honestly think Oh, this is funny. So tech just said they found the interruption between my computer and stream service. This is an intercept. This is a, it was both our video and video. So this is state sponsored interference because they're trying to, they're trying to stop it. What they don't understand is that people who believe in liberty and such and that follow God, we don't stop. You can do whatever you want, but we don't stop. And so pick battle because we lost it. So anyhow, there you go. That's where the interruption was. But I'm too ornery to just, there it goes again. So keep it up. We're going to keep going. You just got another seven or eight little Donna Brandenburg channels that are going to pop up in different areas. I think we're going to go to a couple more of them since you've already captured YouTube and Facebook. That's okay. We're going to continue on. Your weapons aren't going to work. So any, yeah, but to the rest of you, the discern is between the people who are actually committing the crimes and human beings who, you know, we're, we're sorry. I am, you are and such, but. Realizing who the true criminals are and having grace for our American family, realizing that we're not perfect. We're a bunch of little kids running around here, spirits in a meat suit, but very imperfect. So bear with the people around you with grace and kindness. look at the world like as an observer like like they don't need to get to you you don't need to be offended by stuff that's what true love is is not being offended by having acts of kindness that you do and so And picking up those around you, not with blame or tearing them down, but picking them up, put your arm around them, pick them up and help them get back on track. God doesn't make mistakes. You are not a mistake. The things that you do in life are not mistakes necessarily. It's a learning process and that's okay. So forgive yourself, forgive the people around you. And walk forward in grace and the peace of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. So there we go. So anyhow, God bless you all. God bless all those whom you love. And God bless America and the world. It's God's world. It's his sandbox we're playing in. He knows the game. He knows how to get through any problem. You're going to find the answers in his word, the Bible. But you have to read it with the Holy Spirit guiding you and the way that you do that is the acceptance of Jesus Christ as your Savior and all of a sudden. things become a lot clearer, a lot quicker, and you'll feel less alone. So have a great day today. I think I'm going to be back on tomorrow. I've got to line a few more people up because we're going to continue on this trajectory. I'd like you to meet the other candidates with the U.S. Taxpayers Party, which is the Constitution Party in Michigan, the national, we're the Michigan affiliate. I'd like you to meet some very good, dear people who want to restore our Constitutional Republic for you, for us, for our families, for future generations. And the commitment to that is pretty strong. So the other thing I want to tell you is we're going to start a Friday night Zoom starting this week, which is open mic talk to the candidates. Tell people that if you go to my X or my Telegram channel, the USDPM Facebook site, which I do not, I don't run that. We have a couple people on that committee that run that and such, but you're welcome to join us. I hope we see hundreds of people there. I'll be monitoring the chats. We will be looking at what you wanna know, what questions that you have and such, and uh trolls that come on just come on to to troll us that's okay i'm a pretty good debater last week we had donnie detroit say come on to acts and say the republican party is the only way and i came back with dude you just made a public declaration of your lack of faith in god right there that's exactly what it is you've made the republican party your savior the only way and your god that's a pretty bold lack of faith statement and so you know what the only way is god almighty period and a story that is it so anyhow have a have a great day today god bless you god bless all those whom you love and god bless america i gotta do it's the end game here and we'll see you tomorrow
