Good morning and welcome to Brandenburg News Network. I am Donna Brandenburg and it's the eighteenth day of April twenty twenty five and welcome to our show today. Hey, we're getting relaxed today. I got my downs on. This is going to be a great day. Great weekend ahead of us. And I get to be on with my buddies this morning with off the grid. And here we go, guys. How are you doing? I'm doing well. Thank you. Good morning. Good morning, Ralph. Roll call. How are you, Donna? I'm doing good. I'm doing really good. Okay, so I'm loving your avatar, David. That's awesome. So if people don't understand this, we're all friends, okay? We all know each other really well. And David is completely obsessed with Indian arrowheads. Yes. And tell the story about this, David, because this is hilarious. Well, this one, I was... about a month ago I was walking in the park and I looked down and there's a ten thousand year old arrowhead sticking right out of the ground nothing else just that in the mud and it's sticking straight up and like I don't know there's something it's just because I like looking for arrowheads and I wasn't really looking I was just walking and it was sticking out of the mud and it's just in a very strange place you know in a park and I don't know I kind of relate it to my seeing seventeen everywhere. And every time I pick up my phone to look at the time, it's seventeen. And the day before yesterday, I was at a restaurant in the Valley Park. You know how they give you a number? It was seventeen. Oh, that's wild. Out of hundreds of cars there. It's like comes up everywhere. And I'm like, well, maybe if I think of arrowheads really hard, show up. There it is. And you've looked for them your entire life. I've been thinking about gold bars. That hasn't worked yet. And you've been thinking about arrowheads, wanting to find one for your entire life. I did. I've looked for years and years and years. And finally, last fall, I found one on a farm field after years and years of looking and like putting in some serious time. And I found one, and then I just happened to find one a couple months ago, too. So that's good. So now I'm trying to switch from arrowheads to gold bars and gold coins. I like the way you think. Wouldn't it be amazing if you could just think of something, and it just comes there? Sometimes it works that way, by the way. It does work that way? Yeah, it's pray with faith, and God hears our prayers and says, you've got to pray and pray that it's already happened with gratitude. Oh, interesting. I have to work on that one. Okay. Yeah, actually kind of biblical. It is. I have a quick story for you because I do have to leave a little early because I'm traveling. But where I'm staying down in Florida, it's very international. There's people from everywhere here, Canada, Europe, and South America. And this guy came up to us yesterday evening and he said, you're not going to believe what my girlfriend's I mean, what my son's boyfriend wrote a letter to Trump and he read it to all of us. And the boy is twenty years old and his grandfather fought in the Bay of Pigs and then was incarcerated in Cuba for that and then exiled. I guess the government I don't I'm not very familiar with it, but the US government paid Cuba a lot of money to get these people freed, and most of them moved to South Florida. But he wrote this incredible letter for a twenty-year-old, asking the president, talking about his leadership and how it's affecting not just the United States, but the entire world. And he was pleading with him so that he could finish his grandfather's dream of liberating Cuba. It was really incredible. I wish I had it. It was a heart-moving letter. And it's just really interesting when you think about it, these tariffs and stuff. I mean, I don't know exactly what's going on, but I do think somehow he's liberating the world. It seems like the United States was supporting governments of all sorts, including bad ones, that the military-industrial complex, as long as we feel that some country is evil or evil access or, you know, a threat to our quote-unquote national security, that with the military-industrial complex kind of building up weapons and everything and all this whole narrative to, you know, make sure these countries don't invade us. And I think when Trump has cut off all that money, and I think we're going to find that a lot of these countries probably aren't as bad as they make them out to be. Well, they want to tear down the ones that are actually doing the right thing, like Muammar Gaddafi. When you look at what he did, their country was amazing, the way that he was running, and it was backed by gold currency. So they had to get him under the IMF and the central bankers. That's why they made Gaddafi Korea, North Korea, as well as – Uh, there's one more that, that they went after, um, with that refused to refuse to get on the central banking currency. Um, Iraq, that was right. And that they had to have a boogeyman. Yeah. And I think, um, and you know, yesterday or the day before Trump announced, um, I think that the, the seventeenth was going to be revolutionary war day, a national holiday. And he really has this emphasis a lot, these hidden messages, things that he talks about that nobody really pays attention to. But the Revolutionary War apparently was not just our freedom. It was that our founding fathers knew that being under a central bank was always going to be a problem for us. So they really fought that war to get away from the central bank. And I think we lost it. We won, but we lost. We won our independence, but in exchange for taking on the central bank. Well, and I think a lot of this is going to come out in time that we have truly been, we've truly been infiltrated. I want to play this a minute. I played it yesterday because I don't know if you guys saw this or not, but this was the Easter message from President Trump. But what's really significant, the whole message is significant, but I want you to listen to the hidden messages in here. Okay. And then we're going to talk about why that's important. Hey, Greg Laurie here at the White House. We just had a wonderful evening with the president. He took a lot of time with us. He shared some amazing words with us about the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the importance of his death on the cross. And being here with you in the middle of Holy Week as we remember two of the most monumental events in all of history, the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Nearly two thousand years ago, during the sacred week, the living Son of God entered Jerusalem in triumph. Soon after, the Savior of mankind, who brought truth and light into the world, was betrayed, arrested, and tried, beaten, and nailed to a cross, and crucified. For our sake, he gave up his life, and as the very great Reverend Billy Graham Okay. There it is right there. Billy Graham. I'm going to read you something because I think this is really significant. And I did put this on my telegram channel this morning. Hang on here and let me get it. So friend of mine, Judah Ayers, you guys have heard me talk with Judah several times. I love Judah Ayers. He's a, He he he caught it. He caught it, too. But he actually an explanation for it, which I did not. I was still kind of like, what the heck? Why would he call Billy Graham? Right. Doesn't make any sense. So here you go. Here's the explanation of this, because there's there's comms everywhere. If you look and you know how to find him like seventeen. Right. So turns out Graham is an obsolete word historically, meaning anger, sorrow or harm. And I think that this is, you know, when we started seeing the pictures coming out of Billy Graham or Franklin Graham at Voodoo Donuts and some of the other nonsense that has gone on, this guy doesn't even look like Franklin Graham to me in that picture. Yeah, what's going on with that? Yeah. I mean, I mean, I think we have to real it's just like Biden. Anybody that thinks Biden was Biden is is totally asleep there. There's there was no way there was a point where you were, you know, that it wasn't the people that we think that are there. They're not there at all. Then looking at looking at Biden when he was not was not sworn in. After that, I mean, it all went to heck. You know, everybody was looking like somebody else. And I just think that there's a lot of doubles and people aren't there. But for him to call him Billy Graham... is significant and there you go I was she does that often and and and I don't know donald you're much smarter with this stuff than I am but he never says tesla he calls a tesla and in other words too other things he has like he pronounces it different like tesla I mean he knows it's tesla and he doesn't know so there's some kind of com or code or something yeah yeah so in that email check this out for you david April, there you go. Okay. Is that the, I can't read it on my screen. Is that the, um, revolutionary war? That's the April, the, it came out yesterday. So there's another, there's another arrow head for you. Yeah. It's, it's so odd, you know, and I, and I was thinking a lot about this, like most of us didn't pay attention to politics, you know, like you did, um, before Trump. And they could easily scrub the Internet of everyone's picture and then put them up there and said, OK, this is this person. This is Adam Schiff, all these actors playing a role. And most people probably wouldn't even know it. And anyone that did, it's pretty easy to silence them on the Internet from anyone hearing them. So maybe these people are all actors and this whole thing has been planned for a long time. And it's just playing out. What I can't figure out is what exactly is playing out. Something in a grand stage. Did I ever tell you that I met Adam Schiff? No. Is his neck really a pencil neck? Let me see if I can find the picture. Hang on a minute. I'll post it on my, if you guys talk amongst yourselves a minute, I'll, I'll see if I can find the picture of them because it was one of those things. I was shocked. I was in the Senate building and all of a sudden, cause like I've, I've met so many people. It's just crazy how many people that I've met. You could probably ask me, have you met this person? And I'll probably say, yeah, I have, you know, isn't that crazy? And I don't know how it happened. Okay. I'm just kind of a, a goofy person who just, you know, tries to figure stuff out that I know is wrong. You know, I don't like bad guys. So anyhow, I met him there and I'll post the picture on Instagram or on my, my telegram channel, then I can bring it up a minute. So if you guys talk amongst yourselves, I remember when I was at CPAC, um, because it was that trip that I met him on. Well, and I think to your point, Dr. David, the, uh, with how much they are changing current events and warping the news that we have now and altering very recently passed history. You know, it goes back to the whole history is written by the victors thing. And you got to wonder how much of the history we've been taught is absolutely false, you know? Uh-huh. And that's one of the reasons why I think it's incredibly important that we all kind of archive old materials, old books, old papers, that kind of thing. Not just your own papers, that's not what I'm saying, but old books that contain information that's likely to be rewritten. Yeah. Well, I've said a long time ago, you said not just your own, but I think saving our own, I was just thinking about this the other day, is also important, especially for people who have children. In my case, who's going to read it? But if you've got children, I mean, how many times have people said, this is the greatest time in American history, and you're living it, and if you're not keeping a journal for the next generations... I don't know if it does harm, but it doesn't do them any good where it could. If you explain what you were witnessing and how you were feeling about it, what you were learning actively, if you put that in a journal so that others in the next generations can read it, it's quite different. I've heard a lot about John Lennon's death story. What what the true story is, you know now I have to question everything But there was a little book a little paperback that went out in which it was Primarily just people's witness stories about how they felt when john lennon was assassinated Murdered whatever you want to call it and How they felt that day and the days following. It was really interesting to me because I didn't know those stories before. I know I hear about JFK's assassination, how people felt. Oh, they felt really shocked and horrified and very bad. But that kind of stuff is powerful because it tells you what really is going on in the pulse of the nation. So don't discount the quality, the benefit, the value. That's the word I'm looking for. in your own story for the next generation. Good point. Okay, so I found the picture, but I found a couple. This was CPAC, and that was really fun. And there you go. Let's give him something to talk about. So he, you know, he was walking through the Senate building while I was there. And I, so I stopped him and I'm like, Hey, I'd love a picture with you. And he turned around and he was like, You know, just like a normal person, actually. So it leads me to believe that there's a lot of people playing characters if you really want to know the truth. But you can't you don't know unless you actually get in and talk to people or try to dig on them and such. I don't know. Let's just say he didn't give me the creeps or anything like that. So I really do think that there's a lot of good guys playing bad guys and bad guys playing good guys, but I don't know. I mean, the actions that Adam Schiff has taken have absolutely are deserving of treason. No two ways about it. Got to meet Rick Scott on that trip too, which was fun. There was a post I shared a few days ago. in which someone said, I don't know who these people are, but there are some people who played roles in this war that will never get, oh, it was Brian Cates who shared it. They'll never get probably ever the public accolades that they deserve, but he said just, it may not have been him quoting it, but The idea of thanking them for right now. Whoever you are, thank you for your service to this country. And I thought that was pretty cool. Well, and I think, like I said, I think that when Q said we're watching a movie, you can kind of see if you're paying attention. Oh, I did another post. Let me grab this other post a minute. You can actually see what's kind of going on here. Let me see if I can go back and get it. It's kind of like I've talked about the hacking of the Iranian nuclear program and how I am absolutely... That is one of the most impressive hacks I think I've ever seen. I would love to meet the guys behind putting that chain of hacks together because it's some of the most brilliant work I've ever seen, really. But the greatest honor that... Mm-hmm. Yeah. So there you go. This predictive programming on nine, something happened a couple of days ago and I can't put my finger on exactly what it is, but a couple of days ago there was a shift again in the narrative towards truth. So something big is going to come out and I think it's going to be fairly soon because the shift was huge. So we're going to keep our eyes on that. And the, these are, Some of the things that I'm watching. We've all seen that. There you go. Two planes, three buildings, do the math. Yeah. Doesn't make any sense. And, you know, we've already had, you know, Richard Gage on. and others going down this path. But keep your eyes open on this, because I can't tell exactly where this is going, but I'm seeing an awful lot of information coming out on this. On Tuesday night, the Badlands Media did a show, what's it called, where they review movies, and they did Top Gun Maverick. and they had a general or lieutenant general, Quast, on there. And he said that the war we're in now, and he was specifically discussing the COVID scandemic, he said that is so much bigger than nine-eleven. We have kind of an obsession with nine-eleven In in like jfk like the public has been obsessed with that for years because there's so much that just doesn't seem right It's harder to get the true evidence on that than it is for nine eleven because there are so many witnesses to that and we're so Um much more capable now of learning and sharing things But he said, you know people are like well, yeah That covid it's too bad that happened and People took the shots and stuff. And he said, that's the wrong attitude. We are in an absolute war. They murdered and attempted to murder many more. And they're still doing it. Like I just heard recently that a nine-month-old baby can have three COVID shots these days. People are still giving it to their children. And it just boggles my mind. I'm like, every time I see somebody wearing a mask, I'm like, really? Still? It's still happening. We are still under assault, the American people and globally. Like Dr. David said earlier, Trump is changing the world. He is helping people to learn about their own sovereignty and strive for it. We just really got to see that we are, you know, people say we're in a war. Well, what are you doing? You're sitting at home doing nothing about it. You're not even telling your grandkids, hey, we're... Look at what's happening around you children. No, they try to protect them from everything. No, tell them the truth. Tell them the story. Tell them, you know, what we don't have bomb shelters in the schools here in this country, but we're giving them shots in the schools in this country. There's an assault and a war going on in every space here still. And you want to talk about nine, eleven, like it's the big deal of the century. And it's it the brainwashing is still in effect. By the way, by the way, not change it too much the subject, but there's something called file seventeen, which is a classified document on nine eleven. The number seventeen again. Oh, that's wild. Yeah. Did you see I sent you guys a text? I did. And I and I put it up there. Hang on. Let me. Let's go back to this. So this was over. Hang on here. There we go. So that was the story. We went to look at Mar-a-Lago. We were curious after Donna, you told us about all the security and everything. So we drove around it. Sure enough, the security is just unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it in my life. But as we passed and we were heading towards the bridge, we saw, I saw this red light coming at us and I'm like, oh, wow, check it out. It's a drone. We're driving. And as it got closer, it had fire coming out the back of it, a stream of fire. And unfortunately, we didn't get good pictures of it, video. But as it went over Mar-a-Lago, it literally went black. But it had a stream of fire. And these are the best pictures I got, unfortunately. Nobody would believe me if I didn't have this. Like, what the heck was that? Unreal. I've never seen anything like it in my life. Like a missile. That's too far away from SpaceX. Why would it go over Mar-a-Lago? Yeah, that's weird. Yeah. Oh, there's so much that we don't know. I don't know if I showed you guys this post, but one of my friends who has a lot of military connections gave me this a while back, and I did put it in the Telegram channel. But hang on a minute. Let me see if I can find it. This is really strange, and I don't think I played it on the show. Let me see if I can find it here a minute. Talk amongst yourselves. I put it out there a few days ago. So what day was that? That you saw that over the... I don't remember. It was a couple weeks ago. Huh. But it was definitely... It looked like a drone. I mean, we could see it coming over the water. And it was like a red light. And I'm like, well, check it out. I saw it right away. I'm like, look, there's a drone. But it made sense because they have all the security stuff and electronic stuff everywhere. You wouldn't see so many police anywhere in your life. Everywhere. And guard towers with guns and shit. It was crazy, the security there. Like something serious is going on. And then I'm like, oh, look, they got a drone patrolling. And I'm like, they got fire coming out of it. A whole stream of fire. Let me show you this. This is kind of crazy on the same. This is six and a half, almost seven minute video, but it's kind of worth the watch. Do you guys mind if I play this? Because I think you're going to find this really interesting and it should spark some questions. So you got to stick with it a little bit, but it's kind of worth it. What is that? Same thing, trying to get video. And who was this and where? This is a friend that was on the West Coast. Of Michigan? No, the West Coast of the United States. Okay. And watch the shapes this thing takes. That's bizarre. She'll increase it, but watch the shapes that this thing takes. Oh, my gosh. Go ahead and try to explain it. Could that be a group of drones? Not like that. Is this over the ocean? I don't know where exactly where it is. The friend that I got this from is from Oregon. Wow. And he completely believes that this is like multi-dimensional. I mean, how do you explain that? You just don't. And it just keeps going on and on, changing form and such. I don't think we can explain a lot of things in the material world. I just don't. I think there's a lot of stuff that we can't explain. Well, we have technology that's out of this world. Have you guys ever seen the Hillsdale video of that guy from Space Force? He said that we have unlimited energy currently from space, and we can't Transport anyone anywhere in the world or anything within one hour. Yeah. Isn't that wild? They could be testing that type of thing. The military. That is really crazy. Yeah. I was kind of glad that he sends me stuff every once in a while. He'll get something from friends sometimes. And he'll send that over. But I thought that was worth posting. And even if we see things that don't make sense to us in the coming future, I don't think we need to be afraid of anything. We just need to stand on our faith and such. But love is asking not to get you off track, but you talked about getting Jaron Jackson on. Yeah, I could get Jaron Jackson on. I have his phone number. And then also, I also have General Quast's phone number, and I'm supposed to talk with him today. So we'll see if we can get these guys on and try to get to the bottom of this. I want to tell you a quick story about Donna to everybody that's listening. She is the most friendly person in the world, and she is amazing. Professionally, though. I mean, literally, she walks up to anyone or anyone that talks to us. It could be a waiter, someone walking down the street, anyone. And she starts a conversation with them and is able to get these people to open up. And I was just thinking, like, everybody has a story. And Donna gets their phone number and invites them on the show. And they just open up. And, I mean, I've witnessed it many times. It's really an incredible experience. skill that you have to do that and get people, just random people to open up and they end up giving her a phone number and stuff. And you stay in touch with these people. I mean, I could, I witnessed at least five or six times. Crazy. It's pretty fun. It really is. And everybody has some kind of really cool story, don't they? They all do. Everybody does. I think that's the magic of life is that we've been focusing on people who they're programming us to talk to as superstars. No, the superstars are just the everyday people that just do life and, you know, walk around. They've got the best stories. And they're the most fun to talk to because they're real. You don't have all this fake crap going on. Yeah. I'm going to bring up something. I'll see if I can get to the video that you gave with us dancing. That was so funny. Let me see if I can find it. I'll post it. This was really a lot of fun. Social media is such a shame because it could be used for such good, but it's so bad, especially to the current generation of kids and young adults. And you're right, all they have are these rich kids or kids that make it look like you can't be happy if you don't have all this money and stuff. And my daughter's going to a wedding. You know, and I guess she told me it was the most expensive thing she's ever done. They've had multiple parties around the country, and she has to go to the East Coast to the wedding this weekend and spend so much money on a dress and everything just to fit in. It's just, it's too much. And the kids get depressed, you know. Oh, I don't have that kind of money, you know. I'm never going to make that, you know, be rich and have a Lamborghini yet. Aged twenty one. It's just so bad. Sorry, I saw a clip from Dr. Phil about a week ago or so. I shared it on Telegram, which a young woman is is just spoiled rotten. Her mom's sitting there with Dr. Phil, too. And he said, you know what? You need a job. He's like, no, no. And he goes, you need a job where you're not in the house. Not like because mom said, why you did babysitting when I was her age? Because she's like, well, I need. a certain type of car and I need a certain amount of allowance. And it was not, you know, five dollars a week. It was it was more like a thousand dollars a week or whatever it was. And I went, I want this and I want that. And I need these things. And he said, no, I think you need a job out of the house. Like, you know, go go to a fast food place or something. And she's like, no. And she starts crying like a little kid. She's like, I can't work. Oh, my God. It was really pathetic. And her mom and the audience is just shocked and horrified and kind of laughing. And her mom is just like, yeah, yeah. You see what monster you've created by spoiling her thus far? Like the concept of work was so foreign and abhorrent to her. It can't work. And those sort of tendencies are taken advantage of by the social media, but they've existed for a very, very long time. I mean, heck, look at the trend of rental pineapples when those started getting imported to Europe, and that was such a status symbol. I don't even know what you're talking about. Oh, when pineapples first started getting imported to Europe, They had to bring them in from so far away that they were very rare and very expensive. And so there was a trend to rent pineapples basically as decorations for parties to show your status of being able to own one of these exotic fruits. Yeah. When they were still just renting them, and they were still pineapples, it's fruit. They were going to rot fairly quickly anyway, so they couldn't even use these things as rental items for very long. But it was one of those useless status symbol things that people paid money for. And it's the same kind of thing nowadays with the way that social media feeds into that addiction and ego building. No, in China, they're not even allowed to go on social media, the kids. They can't use the TikTok. It's banned. Because it's a weapon. It's a weapon of war. It's a weapon against people's minds. It is. Yeah. This was when I was staying with David and Jeannie in Florida. And this is David's dad. And I got to tell you, Michael is the most adorable person on the entire planet. I love Michael. How old is your dad, David? Eighty-six. Eighty-six. So we went out and I had made it up in my mind that I was going to buy him a Golf of America t-shirt because he absolutely lives President Trump and Elon Musk, okay? It's adorable. And he's sharp as a tack. We were having just a riot. So we were having a riot, and it was really shocking, wasn't it, David? How many people were cheering and laughing? Exactly. I thought it was really cool. It was really fun. A lot of people enjoyed the Golf of America t-shirts, too. Yeah, it was like an impromptu party. The news will make you think like half of America is against Trump and everything he stands for. Well, not half of the people that were around us, just random people out to dinner and stuff. They all seem to be loving it. Yeah, we just made a party wherever we went. It was great. So too fun. Well, let's see where else we want to go this morning, guys. One thing I was kind of thinking of too with what Karen was getting into with COVID is I think a lot of the hardships that we saw surrounding COVID at the time, there were so many of them that were artificially induced just to make it painful on all of us to try and make it a bigger deal than it was. I think we're going to see the same kinds of things by politicians and some of these big corporations that are so desperate to cling to power that they're going to, I think, do the same kinds of retaliatory things on the American public regarding these tariffs to try and break them, to try and break it by making, making things difficult for people where they shouldn't be. You know, I, I think we're going to see, I think we're going to see some of that coming up. And I mean, like, One of the things that happened during COVID too, that had an enormous impact on things, but the actual root cause was misattributed was the chip shortages for electronics and how, oh, we can't get microchips because of COVID and the factories are shut down and we can't get things through the ports and this and that and the other thing. And no, if you actually start looking at why we had chip shortages, We had a whole bunch of the major chip manufacturers had their factories have mysterious fires that were then not investigated in basically every country that had chip factories except for one. And so Japan and Taiwan and South Korea all had like major chip factory fires. you didn't really hear about that outside of the certain circles of the tech community. And then you start looking into it and it's like, yeah, these were major fires in factories that are highly dependent on processes of using water where they have to rinse off photo resistance stuff. These, these places are filled with good water supplies. Why did they burn down and all within like a three month period? But, then it got attributed to COVID instead of weird fires that popped up out of nowhere and were subsequently not investigated and targeted every country but one. And I think we're going to see the same kinds of things happen again with the tariffs of specifically trying to inflict pain on the American populace or spinning other things as being due to the tariffs that aren't. Yeah. Makes sense. Well, the retribution is going to be there. It's just like every time they want to shut the state down, what are the first things that they cut? They cut things like the parks, being able to use the parks that the state has. They hit us with the things that we love, and they weaponize that. And then they'll spend extra money just closing down the parks, not just cutting maintenance. In a lot of cases, they don't even cut the maintenance. They just close them down so that the American populace can't enjoy the parks that would otherwise still be there. Well, where you really could see it is with COVID and how much money they gave the school systems for shutting down, which it should have been less money, not more. And there were some of them that got like, I mean, just an unbelievable amount of money. The Grand Rapids system, I think, had one point two five million dollars given to them for the shutdown. How do you explain this to me? And then Detroit, which has a smaller population than Grand Rapids, Detroit proper, they got forty million dollars. We don't have that many students. So how in the world can they justify this to spend money on the shutdowns? It's just money laundering. That's all it is. They money launder so much cash. And I'm going to tell you, it's going to be shocking to people when we see how much building is going on constant and unrelenting building. The developers are getting the benefit of it and we're paying for it in increased taxes. Plus we have to jump on the bandwagon and fund the infrastructure improvements. I've been saying this for a long time. If we had to do the jobs that they're doing across our nation and in our cities or municipalities and such, If I were doing a job like that, I would have to post a bond. These people will refuse to post like a ten million dollar bond minimally per project to pay for the infrastructure. No, they throw it right on our backs. And this is where. the criminality in our townships and municipalities is really where it is. These people do not run the game. They're taking orders from the state and the state is taking the orders from the bankers and the bankers are paying for the politicians to be in office. It's all a money game, every single part of this, and it's all working against us. When I kind of think that, you know, for, for off the grid purposes, I think pretty soon here, this is where some of our off the grid skills are going to start getting called into use is from the retaliations from these tariffs. I think they're going to intentionally hamstring a bunch of the supply chains for things just to stick it to the American populace and blame it on the tariffs. When in actuality, there is no such reason for doing that. you know, that we have domestic suppliers for a lot of different things, if people were actually willing to use them, you know, and yes, it may cost a little bit more. But that's the idea behind why tariffs are there is so that it can make your domestic, you can bolster your domestic supply of things and make it cost competitive against regions that don't have the regulatory oversight to maintain things to an acceptable quality. You know, like we've had a, we talk about, China's export of rare earths and how, Oh, they have the, they're, they're the one supplier worldwide of rare earths. And, uh, no, that's not really true. We used to have a rare earth, um, refining plant here in the U S I don't remember exactly where it is, but I believe it was somewhere around the California, Nevada border. And we've, we had that, I think since like the seventies, And they shut it down in the late nineties because it, uh, I think it was the late nineties. Anyway, they shut it down because it was not cost competitive against China's, uh, refining of rare earths because the rare earths are more or less fairly evenly distributed through the crust around the globe. It's not like a my, uh, a normal, mine of something where you go in and find something that's fairly concentrated in a mine the reason why they're a rare earth is because they are in very small quantities pretty much everywhere and you have to do heavy refining to get them but we shut down our plant here because they couldn't be cost competitive with china because they didn't have all the environmental rules to protect the environment because when you're pulling out very small fractions of dirt basically you're going to also have toxic elements that also get refined out of that process. And China didn't really have the restrictions on that. So they could do it for dirt cheap and just basically say to heck with the environment. Here's all the minerals, you know. So now you have tariffs on it and that plant is now coming back online. They've announced that and they figure it's going to be several more years before they can reactivate it. But it's coming back online again, which is national security wise. That's a huge win for us. Well, you brought up a really good point that the rare earth minerals are distributed pretty much equally across the globe. Well, that goes the same with gas and oil. This has been when the Rockefellers really defined the term fossil fuels, which is an erroneous term. They're not fossils. It is not fossil fuel. They did that in order to push the law or the issue of scarcity, which made people believe whatever they said. So we have more petroleum products now. gas and oil in Colorado than they have in all of Saudi Arabia. And so why they will refuse to tell people that, I don't know. There is no reason for the nonsense that we have going on right now, let alone do we need it at all? And can we employ free energy? There's enough evidence out there that hydrogen cells would pretty much work and there's no real risk to them. But one of the things you brought up was tied into this called a caretso, a caretsu. And a Koretsu is a set of companies with interlocking business relationships and shareholdings that dominated the Japanese economy in the second half, twentieth century in an illegal sense. It is a type of business group in a loosely organized alliance. And what it really is all about is they set up these legal monopolies so that you could never do this. But what they do is they each take a part of it and they literally decimate anyone coming in. to these industries because they have an associated monopoly. That's the best way that I can describe it. So I have some real concerns on this because of the people who are in fact, running for governor of the state of Michigan. I believe one is definitely part of a Koretsu. And there's also a foundation having to do with children in Detroit. And I'm going to tell you, they keep coming out like this. I'm going to just burn it right to the ground because we can't continue to have these people who are set in place in order to in order to take captive this nation and just enslave us all because that's what's happening. I think Ralph is right about how they will try to blame, they'll make hardships, try to blame Trump with it. Ralph was pointing out that they'll blame the tariffs, but remember what they always say is Trump's tariffs. It's Trump's admin. It's Trump's chickens. It's Trump's gas level. It's always Trump's this and Trump's that. That's who they want to blame. They want everybody to hate him so that they will not trust him, not believe him. No, he's telling us the truth. And there's a lot of things that he will twist and turn a little bit because he has to. But Yeah, I think he's right that they're going to try to blame other things on the Trump actions. But the nice thing is the people see it more now. They see the narratives, regardless of what the message is. They're looking out for the narratives more than ever before. Those people who have figured out that they've been lied to in the past are expecting lies now. And so it doesn't have the same effect as it used to be. You know, I don't think if they tried a pandemic, which they might, they're still working on bird flu, and now it's measles, it's not having the same effect as it did before. People are looking at RFK Jr. and saying, well, what's he talking about as if he supports the measles vaccine? He's spoken out against it before. Well, then what is he doing? Do you think he's flip-flopped? No. He's playing the same game that Trump is playing. And if you know that going in, then you're not so shocked when he says something that seems backwards. You're just going to look at it in a different way. And you're not going to believe it when they say a child died of measles. You're going to go, well, no, what's the rest of the story? And that's what people are doing. They're asking for the rest of the story. What's really going on with mining of metals or whatever it is? What's the true story here? Because we know they're going to lie to us. Anything that they're trying to put on Trump's shoulders is probably a lie. So let's work back from that to try to find the truth. People are not going to be so easily swayed nowadays. And I think that's wonderful. We got a ways to go yet. I mean, we still do have people wearing masks, but it's different than it was a few years ago. Well, and I think that's true. And the more we talk about all of these difficulties and what to look for so that we can hold them accountable and stay away from it, like the Koretsus and such, that is the supply chain right there and directly relates to the tariffs. But we have people within our nation that are part of this and we can't ignore the end game. Does that make sense? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so it's kind of all, and to your point, Karen, we are so much smarter now than what we were. more knowledgeable, maybe is a better word, on what they were doing. We're not the same sheeple we were years ago. And every one of us was part of it. At one point in time, we woke up and we said, this doesn't make sense. Why doesn't this make sense? And then do you remember when you woke up and you really realized what was going on? Did you get angry? I did. Oh, I was furious. Yeah. I still would have liked to see, I still would have liked to see RFK, uh, appointed to head of the CIA would have been great to have a Kennedy in that position. That would be like poetic justice. Be hilarious. Yes. You never know. Things could flip upside down real quick and, and, uh, wonder if they're all kind of working together anyway and, or they're, they're, uh, talking between departments, the good guys that are there, because I honestly think when I was there in D.C. the last time, it was a ghost town. FBI building was empty. The CIA building, they were unloading something at one dock, but it was like nobody there. So it was kind of interesting. The whole thing was really interesting. There were a lot more people in the Library of Congress because that is my absolute favorite building there. I love that building. Beautiful, absolutely gorgeous. It's fun to just go in there and rest and walk around and look at things. But I just don't think that things are what we see anymore. So, you know, to that point, Ralph, I think that would be hilarious and wonderful. Turn him loose. Let him go. Let him be the little fighting badger he is because he's brutal in his fights. Well, I think if we go back even like to the Revolutionary War we were talking about earlier, Everybody was affected on a personal level. And yet there were only so many people who were actually willing to fight or support the fight. That was a small percentage of the population. So here we are again. We have a majority, I believe, of people who are figuring it all out. I saw the other day that Trump's approval rating was like the highest or close to the highest it's ever been. And it's more than fifty percent. How do you get that? You get that with people figuring things out. They don't support him if they don't see, you know, so people are seeing the truth more and more. And as was said, I think Ralph said that it's the anchor that comes out. Maybe Donna, people become angry and anger is the energy for change. I once heard or read somewhere that, I think that's another thing that's happening. People want change. They're looking for ways to do that. They're looking for their role to play. How can I help Trump is a good way to see it. You know, Trump isn't going to save you on every level. So what are you going to do to help him out? Because there are a lot of things that he can't do and Bobby Kennedy can't do. All these other people can only do so much. And it's one step at a time, too. We were talking about how, well, we had to be able to see before we could get to that point of wanting to take an action. So that's the first step that had to happen. We have to have such outrageous things happening that we can kind of get a slap in the face in the morning and you wake up. Then you're like, whoa, what's happening? What's happening? You know, when the bear came to our house, that was a wake up for me. When he started shouting about a bear in my face, I had to try to wake up real fast. What's happening? And then what do I need to do? Do I call nine one one? Do I go outside? And you know what? The funny thing is, is you're like a snack size for a bear. You're not much bigger than I am. Yeah. I'm a smallish person, remember. You're a smallish person. That's right. Yeah, the bears in Michigan, they're like the size of a black lab, right? It's so funny. People get all freaked out about bears in Michigan. We had a friend years ago that he went bear hunting. And, okay, my dad was a hilarious truth teller. So this guy comes home with this bear that he hunted and brought home. My dad just looked at it and he goes, You shot a black lab, dude. He's like, this is a glory moment here. What would possess you to do this? You know, on that note, the word that we have for brown in English supposedly actually derives from the word for bear. We don't know what the original word for bear was. because it was one of those things that was like, they considered it so scary that don't say its name or it might summon one to you, you know? So we've actually lost the original English word for bear in favor of, they just referred to them as brown. Oh, that's funny. Yeah, Michigan bears are small. They're pathetic bears, okay? All they are is garbage stealers. Big raccoons, I'm just telling you. It's true. Don't ask Dr. David to think too hard about a bear. He might get a visit from one when he comes up north. It's almost that time of year for them to come out of hibernation here. And with his luck, it'll be a pack of seventeen bears. Yeah. Gold bars. Think, David, think, think. I'm trying. Do it, David. Do it. Just have to think, seventeen arrowheads. Exactly. And a bear will show up. Oh, that's too funny. Actually, I think there's quite a few Native American words that stand for bear, that were bear. Did you know that? No. I did not. I thought that was fairly consistent. Yeah. Yeah, Makoketah. No, Makoketah. Or for people who see it and can't pronounce it the way that it should be pronounced, Makokita. I hear somebody say that. I'm like, you're a little off base there, dude. Sort of like when you live in Kalamazoo, there's a road called Westnedge. But anybody outside of Kalamazoo calls it Westnedge. So instead of Westnedge, it's Westnedge. And I'm like, no, no, no, no. Locals call it Westnedge. It's kind of like Louisville. You can't say Louisville. That will stand you right out. Or Louisville. It's Louisville. I don't know how to say New Orleans. That's trickier to me. I can't get that one right. New Orleans. If I go down there, I'll come back speaking the language. I think it's New Orleans. I've heard it as like New Orleans. Yeah, it's more like that. I mean, exaggerated a little bit so you can hear the difference, but yeah. Well, you know, it's just like Grand Rapids. If you're from Michigan, there's this guy that he's hilarious. He does things that are the accent of Michiganders. And I said that for you, Karen, because I just, I can't give that one up. Okay. I love them a lot. And so nobody says Grand Rapids unless you work for a news station. It's here in Grand Rapids. No, no, no, no. We slaughter the human language or the English language. Totally wreck it, right? And so it's Grand Rapids. I'll exaggerate it. It's Grand Rapids. That's not- I would call it Grand Rapids. Grand Rapids, yeah. It's kind of like Grand Rapids. No, Grand Rapids. Oh, you were taught Grand Rapids? Well, maybe it's for my time in Tennessee. I just, you know, maybe I don't speak Michiganian. Michigander. I'm going to Tennessee next month for a few days. And when I come back, it'll be fun to see how I speak on the show. Because I can almost guarantee I'm going to have a part Tennessean accent. Oh, that's fun. I am going to pull up a website here of a guy that defines the Michigan accent, and it is hilarious. This guy does a really good job. I sent that to a friend who was like, what do you mean that Michigan accents are blah, blah? I said, oh, I'm telling you right now, we are an embarrassment to the English language. And I'm not kidding you. I was driving the other day, and I was like, man, this road is bumpy. And then I remembered when I crossed the country several years ago. It was a while ago. Oklahoma had some of the worst roads I've ever been on. Excuse me. So every state has this thing. And Michigan has the thing of bad roads. But Michigan isn't the only state with bad roads. There's, you know, all these generalities. And they're just... I don't know. Sometimes they stretch it a little too far. I'm sure there are other states that can make cheese besides Wisconsin. There are other states where you can grow potatoes besides Idaho. No, don't say it so. We actually grow a lot of potatoes here. We grow sweet potatoes because we're sweet. I don't grow sweet potatoes. I grow real potatoes. Let's see. Okay. So I have a chart here. Let me bring this up. And then I've got a video. This video is great. Okay. Hang on. Let me see if I can grab this a minute. And we'll throw this in here because this guy is funny. Okay. He's hilarious. And I'm going to see if I can bring him on. I think you'll enjoy this a lot. All right, let's see what's happening here. Yeah, David, if she meets him, maybe she can bring him on a show. Say this phrase for me out loud. Sure. Rent a car. You mean rent a car. I mean, I'm saying that. Okay, okay. Maybe this will help. Try saying, I'm going to rent a car. Okay, I'm going to rent a car. Hold on. Now, how did that become a longer word with no spaces and no Ds? That is how you're for me? Winner. Winner. Winner? You're forgetting the T. No, the T is silent. Everybody knows that. I'm pretty sure there's people in about forty-nine states that might say it's winter. Say this word out loud for me. Ben? Uh, you mean Ben? No, no, no, no, no. You are not doing this to me. It's Ben. Like, how have you been? Ben. Ben. Ben. Ben. Ben. It's Ben. Oh, yeah, excuse me. Where have you both been? Say this word. I was thinking the same thing. Oh, that was for me. Both. Did you just put an L in the middle there? I don't think so. Both. Both. Both. You're saying an L in the middle. It is incorrect. Both. Both. Oh my gosh, I can't not say the L. Say this word. Not loud for me. Groceries. What was all that in the middle there? Say it with me now. Groceries. That's what I said. Groceries. Oh, you just spit in my face a little bit. But yeah, it sounds like you're really emphasizing that middle shh. Say this phrase for me out loud. do it? There are four words here. Did you do it? That's what I said. Did you do it? You're blending them all together. I see what you might be saying, but did you think for one moment you might be saying it wrong? Michiganders, how strong is your Michigan accent? I'm going to show you a Siri I love this guy. He's so funny. And one to eight, based on that strength, you're going to see how strong your Michigan accent is. Okay. Okay. How'd you do? See, I'm telling people for a long time, Michiganders have a brutal distortion of the English language. And you know what? We've been speaking it for so many years that it's probably not going to change. Did you just say probably? I probably did. Okay, let's try this again because my Michigan accent is very strong. If you say the following phrase out loud as Secretariat State, give yourself a point. Okay, how would you say this, Karen? Digi. Digi. Yep, let's see if we're at it. I'm not sure I would even include the dig. It'd just be jeet. Okay, let's see. Okay. Karen. I don't know. Ralph. Yeah, I don't know. You even got a little bit more in there. David. David's packing to leave. I don't know. It's almost like I know. I don't know. Give yourself a point. Okay, there you go. Karen. Mirror. Mirror. Mirror. Give yourself a point. Karen. Milk. Ralph. I kind of wonder if this one comes from Dutch, but milk. Milk. Milk. word as milk give yourself a point if you say the following okay this is gonna be brutal Karen well it depends on if I'm shouting at the dog or if I'm just asking the dog to come over come here or come here Ralph yeah come here phrase as come here give yourself a point if you say the following Karen well I can say that as it's written or I can say how's it going ralph I would usually not just I would usually not use those words I would usually be how you doing oh how's it going that's how I'd say it how's it going phrase as how's it going give yourself a point okay let's start with ralph what do you think what do you think there you go Where do you buy groceries? Karen. Yeah, same. Where do you buy groceries? Where do you buy groceries? And if the answer to this question is Kroger's or Meyers, give yourself a point. Yeah, with the S on the end. Yeah. Okay, there you go. What is it? Evil witch. Oh, there you go. Should be hung for treason. Try to be nice. Be nice. Tried for treason with the accompanying consequences. Okay. Try it again. Karen secretary of state. Ralph secretary of state secretary of state. Secretary of State, did you read it? Or did all of those words just blur together for you? Oh, I read it, and the place in front of me is called the Secretary of State. Really? Because I detect three words here. I detect only one. Say this phrase out loud for me. Okay, so we're going back to that. That's the ano, okay? So I think this is absolutely hilarious. I was explaining to a guy when I was in Florida a while back how easy it is to pick out somebody from Michigan because we literally don't say half the words, half the letters in the words. He was laughing so hard. It was hilarious. So I was hoping you guys would get a good laugh out of that. Yeah, it's fun. Okay. So hang on a minute. So here's another guide. It just, just, it's just, it's just fun. You know, sometimes it's nice just to get on here, be normal people talk and see things and just have a fun time. Okay. Here you go. Native Michigan. Okay. And here are all kinds of the, here is the, here is the pronunciation guide for Michigan. Okay. It's not Michigan. It's Michigan. oh there you go karen for you michigander michigan native sorry I go by the historical historically true origins there you go so so I think this is this is kind of fun all right so well guys how about we say a prayer and head on to our day today because I know we got a busy weekend this weekend with uh with easter coming up right do you guys have any plans just heading back to michigan all right say the k word you put in the chat karen and not the karen word the other word kindergarten We've always said it like kindergarten or kidney garden I've heard a lot. Like you have a garden for kidneys. The actual word when I started typing it, it's like kindergarten. Kinder. It's kindergarten. How about this from me who apparently has the strongest Michigan accent. Kindergarten. Yeah, that's more how I would pronounce it. Yeah, that would probably be the strongest Michigan accent right there. I have a long medical word. Okay, what's your long medical word? Subacute bacterial endocarditis. Perfect. Oh, that's fun. I'm going to see if they've got that. Oh, here you go. Here's how they listed it in the guide. Oh no, kitty, uh, kitty corner everywhere else. I say catty corner, but we say kitty corner. Yeah. And hockey. We all like hockey for catty corner. Yeah. Yeah. It was funny. So, all right, well, let's say a prayer guys and go into the weekend and, and, you know, God bless all of you. I think it was so beautiful. What what you what Jeannie sent me the blessing for everyone yesterday. I just love that. I'm going to read that a minute. I thought that was just beautiful. I love Jeannie. Jeannie Jeannie is just a wonderful person. Find it now. Okay. Blessing to everyone. This is according to Jewish customs, and I love this. Today is the day to bless the people you love. I bless you with all my love, with all my admiration, with all my respect. I bless your life. I bless your health. I bless your future in his entire aspects. May your house be blessed as you enter and leave it. I bless your work. I bless your spiritual life. I bless all your plans and goals for the upcoming year. Let us pray that it will always be like this. Today is the day of blessings. I was just, like, so touched. Of course, they called Jeannie right afterwards. And I'm like, I love you, sister. She loves you, too. Jeannie is amazing. I always miss her when I don't see her, when I'm not down there. I mean, we've really had the privilege of spending some time together when I go down to Florida. And me and Michael are just so gracious and hospitable that they invite me into their home. It's wonderful. It's no fun without you. Yeah. Well, who else are you going to dance on the road with? You know, that's all I got to say. Nobody. That's for sure. Michael will do it. We can task Michael. Michael will do it. He'll eat it. Yeah, he'll eat it. Mikey. Hey, Mikey. Let's go dance on the road. So, all right. So let's say a prayer and we're going to go into our weekend. Is there anything you want to say before we go to that or you want to do it afterwards? I don't really have much to say. Anything to say on Easter, Ralph? Oh, just... I don't know. We covered a lot of that on Wednesday's show, I thought. There's a ton... There's a ton of... Oh, yeah. It was yesterday, wasn't it? There's a ton of significance there. It's been a long week. There is just... There's so much significance there if you just go through and read it. You know, read through and don't just... Don't just read the New Testament. Read the Old Testament, too, because it all points. Then you understand what Easter is all about and Passover. There's you know, there's so many. So it works together. It's it's it's it's the way it should be. It's Passover is incredibly significant. And it yeah, it all ties together. It all points to each other and everything works as one big cohesive unit. Just like we should be. All of God's children should be working together. There's no reason for this division. There's no reason for the division based on ideological differences. And, you know, I'm just going to say no one needs to take anyone on as a project. We're here to support each other. and be able to talk about what we find important. I get that. But to take people on as a project is kind of arrogant in the way that I see it. We should love each other the way that we are. And and help people speak the truth. If we see them doing things that are not in their best interest, or if they miss something that we can help educate or give them something to think about, but we're, each of us are God's project. We're his child. And I think that's an important thing to go forward, respecting people, all people where they are. You earn the right to talk to people. You don't just automatically get to shove things down their throats. I don't care. I don't care who people are. You know, that's not okay. And to criticize or judge people based on things that we don't agree with, it's not okay. So we get there by working together, by finding things that we can agree on together, by giving each other grace and forgiveness and realizing that we need it too. We're nobody's perfect. We're all a bunch of little kids fumbling around down here that God has so graciously said, yeah, let's do this together. And I'm going to make a way to do that. And, um, Once we find that way and we find that peace with God, we find that way to God, then everything changes. The entire world right now is in a tremendous amount of disinformation. And I mean, look at how many people followed Billy Graham. I'm the most critical of the Christian church out there because I am a Christian. a believer in Christ. I am. But I am very critical about the mechanisms that are out there because everything has been infiltrated. The Republican Party, the Democrat Party, the Christian church, the Jewish church, the Islamic churches have been infiltrated and they're being used to create division. I don't really think this is making our dad real happy there. I'm just going to say that. And so I think we need to have grace and forgiveness for each other and walk, trying to help each other, speaking the truth, but not sitting there beating each other over the head so that we all agree on things. It's not our job. Forgive not seven times, but seventy times seven. What was that, David? I said amen and just... something that I've said every single time I've been on your show is, you know, people, you said that you were talking about disinformation and, you know, this weekend when you're with family members and things are tense, realize that we all probably have disinformation. And like Donna said, it's not your job to change their mind. It's so much better if you just ask questions to people and let them, you know, people want to be heard. Most people aren't heard. They go, they go through life. Nobody hears them. And they may be even attacking you or something because the disinformation about Trump or what's going on or think your ideas are radical. You're not going to change their mind, especially at Easter. But just ask questions and be kind and let them explain to you why they think whatever they think. They have to come to their own conclusions. You're not going to tell them they're wrong. You have to ask questions and be a great listener. And people will come. Maybe you'll be able to get them to come to the right conclusions about things, or maybe you won't. But let's not fight with family. Yes, it's not an okay thing. I'm not saying take abuse either, that if somebody's there and they're being abusive to you, that's not okay. But holding out an olive branch and saying some very healing words can change an entire situation. You can really talk to anyone. I actually sat down at the Board of Elections or the Bureau of Elections this week with Lori Bourbonnet, She was a little on edge, let's put it that way, as I went in there. Why are you here? And if we're going to fix this, we're going to have to sit down with people who have perhaps, because right now we don't have the ability to prosecute the crimes entirely. And I think that's part of the process, but they're coming out of the woodwork. In the meantime, we need to talk to people we disagree with to find out what they know. and also help them maybe see where they're in error. Did you know that the clerks in the state of Michigan, we're going to be talking about this Monday because I'm going to be bringing on people that are, a woman who is a deputy clerk in one of the counties, as well as standing behind Michigan Fair elections. And we're going to be talking about this in length. We have to be talking about this and people need to know. And I'm going to let everybody know out there that we're going to need an army of digital soldiers within the state of Michigan to bring all of this criminality out from the dark. And it is your responsibility. It's not mine. I just happened to be ornery enough about this that, and Ralph and Dave and Karen were ornery enough about this to do this. And we don't get paid for this. This is our civic duty that we see. But it's everyone's civic duty to pass on information and help educate people. Say, hey, maybe you want to watch this. This is kind of interesting. Or maybe you didn't know this and give them, we are the news. If we're going to change anything, this is the low hanging fruit of getting involved. Post, post, post, post into your groups and let's spread the word and take the state back. I think that you're going to be pleasantly surprised to see where things are going to go here in the next couple of months. And I invite you to join us. So there's some replacements that need to happen. And we're not going to stop until the replacements happen. And the people who have committed the crimes are solidly prosecuted for the crimes that they've committed. I'm committed to this. This is going to happen. And I think all of us are. We just need to do it together. So dear Heavenly Father, thank you so much for Ralph and David and Karen. and all the wonderful people who are willing to step into the fight for this nation. We're in a war and you are giving us the opportunity to do some crazy, wonderful things, which will show people the miracles that fall directly from your hands. It's nothing that we do. It's just our ability to say, yes, I'll do it. Ask me, I'll go send me. I'll go. That's what you taught us in the Bible to step forward and be the ones that you can count on. We want to be your best friend. We're just intensely grateful for everything Christ did on the cross, for giving us the ability to go directly to you without an intermediary, but to talk with you, to be forgiven, because you love us so much that you want to be with us forever. And you know what? There's no higher gift. There's no more you could do to prove your love of us who are fallen. We all know it. We all know we're perfect. And you did this for several reasons, but one of them is to show us how much you love us, that you wouldn't even spare your only begotten son. And we're just thankful for everything you've done for us to bring us together. I pray for all the Jewish people are celebrating Passover, that they would be blessed, that their homes would be blessed, that you would bring peace into their homes and the hospitality, especially the hospitality that I've seen with David's family. I mean, it's an amazing, amazing thing when we come together as one nation under you. Thank you so much for everything you've done for us. We bless you. We bless everyone listening here. We ask your blessings on their homes, their lives, their families, their relationships. We ask that you heal all relationships that have gone estranged or astray and bring us together as your children on this earth, doing your good works and being the first ones to step up in service, saying, send me. I'll do it. We'll do this. And we love you. We're committed to you. And we just love you. You've been a great friend to us. We want to be a friend to you. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen. Amen. There you go. All right, boys and girls, here we go. That part of the show. And blessings on travel. Bless David and Jeannie on their travel coming home today. Keep them safe. They're just wonderful friends, and we love them so much. Keep them safe and their family. There you go. That part of the show, boys and girls, where you go to, ding, ding, ding, ding, go to brandonburkeforgovernor.com because I'm the best non-conceited or not conceited 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. We love you. We love you. We love you. We love all the people who've stood with you, President Trump. We love Melania. She's my girl. I love Melania. Melania is such a class act. I absolutely love her. She's just kind of does her thing and she's quiet and unassuming and just beautiful. And what a gracious, wonderful example of what we can be just acting out our faith and just being a fabulous individual. So, you know, blessings on their family, blessings on everyone out there and your families and such, realizing that we just need to stop the fighting. Anything that's here to divide us needs to be absolutely, just absolutely put down. We can't have this anymore. So, Everyone can be a friend and it's probably a friend you just haven't met yet. There's the secret right there to making friends on the street. So have a great, great weekend. God bless you all. God bless all those whom you love and God bless America. It's going to be a wonderful weekend and happy Easter. Happy Resurrection Day to everyone out there. We'll see you Monday. Thank you.
