Good morning and welcome to Brandenburg News Network. I am Donna Brandenburg and it's the fifteenth day of June twenty twenty six. Welcome to our show today. Today we start out with Vicki Davis with the technocratic tyranny. We'll be talking about all the reasons why our country has gotten to be the way it is and basically the optimistic view that it's going to get better. Might get a little worse first, but it's going to get better. Anyhow. And then at ten o'clock, Renita Bondes. And we're going to be talking about what's happening on a local level, especially in our townships. So I'm trying to get everything up and running here. Forgive me for a minute. And welcome. How are you doing, Vicki? Hi, just fine. Thank you. Did you have a good weekend? Yeah, pretty good. Except that I've just been mired in thought, you know, about our situation. And I think it is going to get worse before it gets better. It has to. Yeah. Because you know what? Not enough people are really awake. A lot of people are waking up. I mean, we've had a lot of people that have woken up that have really gotten, you know, let me change things around here a little bit that have, that have woken up that have really started to get in the game a little bit more. But when you see, when you see even the violence of, that is resulting in this and it's a bad, it's going in a bad direction in that regard. I agree. And I got to say this, and I know that a lot of people, they're not probably going to be too happy. A lot of people could be really happy to say this, but the excuses for evil have got to stop. This is a fight between good and evil. This isn't a black against white fight. This isn't a white against black fight. This isn't a female against male fight. All this division is just pure evil. God never wanted it. He wanted us to be unified as his children. as one people, as people who care about each other. But let's just see if we can take what everybody else has and never work for it, hurt other people just because of psychopath wiring, and going to creating more of a problem for self rather than jumping in to solve the problem for everyone. I had a friend years ago and she was telling me about an experiment that was done on them. And she went to the University of Michigan. She's a social worker. And it was really interesting. The whole experiment was the professor gave them all, she was a master's student, a graduate level student, gave them all a certain amount of money to create as much money as they could. So, and then they were supposed to come back and like, in like three weeks and show their projects that they worked on and tell them what they did. Well, they all grabbed the money, went in their own direction and did what they thought they needed to do, right? So the professor got up and very patiently listened to every single one of these grad students of the U of M and listened to them present their project. At the end of three weeks, he stood up and said, you've all failed. And he said, I'll tell you why. He said, if you would have taken all the money that I gave you and you took all your talents and all the things that you know and can do together, you would have gone twenty times as far. And that's the lesson. So instead of everybody trying to scratch out the advantage over other people and seeing them as competition, if people actually got together and learned to be a little more tolerant on human failings and stepped up when somebody failed, stepped up to pick them up, put them back on the road, get people back on track again, they want to attack them and make the situation worse. either be it verbally or physically or whatever. When a person does that, you are the problem. Well, there is a problem with that, though. Our country was based on the idea of individual liberty. And if you have to collectivize, which is what that professor was suggesting, then our country is no longer the country that it was at our founding. But if it's, if it's voluntary where people come together and learn to work together, I think that was the lesson is that when we learn to work together, talk to people we disagree with, instead of going right straight to violence or seeing them as an adversary, I think that's the point, you know, because I don't know if you've seen there's a couple of videos I saw. They just popped up on my X feed. And there were children that were just beating the crap out of each other and just absolutely in such a rage, seeing everyone as the enemy constantly. That never ends well. I don't care what side of the spectrum you're on. Now, if somebody is an enemy, there's two different types of situations here. And people have to be able to understand and differentiate between them, have that discernment. There are people that are true enemies, truly, but not the ones that we could or should be working with. You know, the people that we trust that are local to us that we can have a good time working with and such. It always takes really strong leaders to spearhead operations like that. No two ways about it because we all have different talents. But that doesn't mean it's a competitive advantage. It should be looked at as something that's more of a, how should I say it, maybe a service. Does that make sense? Well, I understand what you're saying there. but what you're really talking about is collectivization and i'm i'm a person who has always basically stood on the outside looking in i am an individual and what i what i want from government is really to hold back the forces of collectivization. Let me be me and hold off the collectivists. I guess I'm not explaining it well. I'm not saying this is a way that the government imposes it. I'm just saying that if you have a buddy that you can work with, and that instead of trying to do it all always on their your own because that's that's something that i do too i'm on the outside i i if i have to drag something along i will do it single-handedly i don't i don't depend on other people per se unless they're very trusted and i've learned that you know you develop that relationship over time But I'm not talking about something that is a, you know, forced or necessarily, how do I say it, canonized. It's based on trust and it's based on interaction by interaction. For me, it's not like building relationships within coalitions or of people or anything like that as much as knowing who I'm talking to and whether they're going to follow through on what they say they do. And if it's something we can work on together or not, does that make sense? But voluntary, not, not imposed by the government. Yes. Yeah. Okay. That's what I'm trying to say here. Not, nothing should be imposed. I'm not talking about, because I, I am absolutely against collectivism on, and on all, on all levels. Well, the problem is we have to look at the society and it's, In totality, you know, how many of us are there compared to how many whores out there who will sell themselves out for money or favor or fame or, you know, whatever? Well, it's just like that gal that offered me a hospital system. It's like, it's worth billions. You don't understand. That's what they always say. You don't understand. This is worth billions of dollars to your children and your family. I'm like, yeah, money just makes people stupid. I'm not really interested in that. And I really don't want to have stupid kids and get too much money. You got stupid kids. Cause that's all they focus on. So no, not interested. Yeah. Yeah. The deal is, though, that they are our country has been transformed into a system of fascism. You know, where where people with money can buy whatever government policy they want. This is crazy because this is exactly what I wrote about this morning. And I want to write a watch a video. from Matt the welder on this that is is really interesting we need to watch this but anyhow what I wrote is the influence on who they select for candidates they allow us to vote for is heavily influenced by money for expected favors the energy sector to create stronger energy monopolies which would I mean I named candidates Nesbitt and James they have taken large sums of money from from the energy sector, from DTE, et cetera. The regulatory commerce cartel creation, Perry Johnson, he's an ISO guy that's creating more regulation, duh. And then in the failed establishment who had their chance and did nothing. So repeat the same pattern of doing nothing, Mike Cox are the pathetic Republican choices. It's all right. The Democrat side of the unit party Benson beyond explanation of unconstitutional failures, get off the course of complete destruction. Don't listen to who the unit party tells you to vote for. They are part of the transnational crime syndicate agents of corporations and commerce. They don't serve the people. In their eyes, we're just in the way and they do whatever they want. Sure. I sure hope someone better, someone honest steps up to run for Michigan governor. Wink, wink. They reduced citizens to simply workers. Yeah, slaves. Is it creating a slave class? So I want you to listen to this because this is going to shock you. This is from friends of mine that are in Florida. They sent this up to me. But this is actually how it works kind of in Michigan. But Michigan is a little more disguised than this blatant thing. But I want you to listen to this because this is happening all over the place. But we don't have politicians. We do not have people in government. We have agents of foreign corporations. Yes. Yeah, that's right. Things about Evan Power that you don't know, but you probably should. Many know Evan Power as the chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, but he's actually a lobbyist and he works for a lobbying firm called Ramba Consultant. His boss is David Ramba. We'll get to him later. You scroll down on their website, you'll see a picture of smiling Evan Power, the lobbyist. August of last year, Evan Power said primaries are up to our voters. We will not be involved. Well, fast forward to today, and now Evan Powers has canceled debates. Evan Power has directed the party to endorse multiple candidates in the primary. They're not letting voters decide. Voters want debates. A lot of people are blaming Evan Powers for the failures in the GOP, and rightly so. So what changed? And why did they scrap debates? Well, Evan Powers is a lobbyist. How do we know that somebody didn't approach his employer and say, hey, here's some money, make debates go away, let's protect Byron Donalds? Here's where things get interesting about this lobbying firm, and it could all be a coincidence. You go down to where it says About Us and Our Work, and you scroll on over, and you'll notice they work for FSE, which is the Florida Supervisors of Elections. You type in FSE into Google, and you pull up the Florida Supervisors of Election. Scroll down to the bottom where it says Transparency and click on that link, and you'll see it says Florida Supervisors of Election, Inc. Florida Supervisors of Election Incorporated? What's that? Well, it's a not-for-profit group made up of all the supervisors of elections around the state of Florida. And wouldn't you know, David Ramba, Evan Powers' boss, is listed as a title executive director on this not-for-profit Supervisors of Election, Inc., The biggest conflict of interest of all this is Evan Power is running for Congress. His boss, David Ramba, is the executive director of a not-for-profit of all sixty-seven supervisors of elections. What could go wrong? As Florida's next agriculture commissioner, I'll be a member of Florida's cabinet. I plan on using that position to snuff out conflicts of interest and corruption in our state government. Isn't that awesome? I mean, like in a bad way, but it was a good video because it shows it. And so I started poking around in Michigan and seeing exactly what the connections are here. And almost always in Michigan, it goes right back to, say, the energy sector. We've got cartels in Michigan in the energy sector. Did you know that consumers energy, consumers energy and DTE are the big ones? Consumers energy actually owns an island off of Venezuela, the same Venezuela that owned thirty percent of Dominion voting systems, which was the primary one out of three. There was also Hart and ES&S, which were our voting machine systems, the electronic voting systems. And the connections just keep going on and on and on. So when you look at like DTE and consumers and all of them that are contributing, DTE is the big dog, but they're contributing to both sides. So It's kind of it's kind of crazy. I'm going to go to my next post here. And this is amazing that you brought this up, honestly, because this is exactly what we're talking about. And the voters are not making the connection quick enough to see they're not politicians. They're not running for office. They're foreign agents. That's what they are. And here it is. Foreign countries have been allowed to buy American utility companies. In the previous post, I outlined the fact that through huge campaign contributions by utility companies and other foreign corporations, the politicians are effectively agents of foreign entities who are foreign countries who are expected to grease the slides of what the corporations want. They want absolute control and the ability to extract the maximum possible dollars out of everyday Americans. They want a slave class created through their transnational crime syndicate, of which our elected and unelected government are paid foreign agents of foreign corporate control. It's literally, they're allowing foreign countries to buy foreign, our utilities. I hope everybody is getting this because this is kind of like this pretty damning. I mean, it really is against the corporatocracy that's going on and who these people in office actually are. Right. Well, and what is the first input to any business, to anything? It's energy, right? Yeah. So globalization really was the stealing of our sovereignty over ourselves and our country. Yeah. Yeah. So let's listen to this dude here. is the United States federal government allowing foreign corporations to own American utility companies. We do like to see free flow of capital, at least among our allies and friends. I don't know which- Well, that just sounds like the same old tired arguments we've had for thirty years about the benefits of globalization that I know the elite economists and the out-of-touch politicians of big corporations want to shove down our throats because it makes them more profitable. Upstate New Yorkers should not be forced to shell out money every month to the utility company and see it shipped to a foreign corporation overseas. These are seniors on fixed incomes who are literally cutting their medicine in half. Public school teachers I've talked to who are picking up second jobs because of the NYSEG bill. A woman in the union whose husband finally got to retirement. and wanted nothing else but to spend his time with his grandkids. He worked his whole life to earn that time with his grandkids. And you know what he's doing right now? He had to go get another job to pay the NYSEG bill, and that money he's putting out every month is going to a corporate boardroom in Spain. Will you commit to look into this issue and using your authority to get foreign corporations to stop owning American utility companies? I will look into that issue. This is a real issue. How about if they just pass a frickin' law? Arizona, Minnesota, Illinois, Rhode Island, Vermont. This is widespread. Is that not just insane? It is, but it really pisses me off. Why doesn't the Congress pass a law saying that our utility companies must be owned by Americans, American corporations? It's because of the globalization of our country that foreign countries can buy our utilities. I mean, who freaking would have thought that they might use that as an extortion method? Well, and then the energy companies and the corporations are the ones that are choosing the candidates. And they do it through money. You know, it's like we'll go back to James and Nesbitt. How in the world can anybody with a straight face tell me that the amount of money that they've received and Dana Nessel from DTE, how can anybody with a straight face look at me and say, oh, they're going to be good candidates? They're foreign agents. Yeah. Yeah. Our country basically is run by foreign agents and our members of Congress have been neutered. And I think that's why so many of them take money in payoffs, because really. As an individual congressperson, they can't do anything. So they might as well live the high life. Look at the lobbyists. How in the world is it even okay to have lobbyists? How is this even okay? Yeah, well, I agree with you. should be outlawed. They're agents of foreign corporations exerting influence over the foreign agents that are being paid by the foreign corporations that are owned by foreign countries. Well, and something else is that dual citizenship. You know, they really need to get rid of that. The Congress needs to remember again Who they work for. They work for the corporations because they pay them. Did you see the clip that Whitmer put out a few days ago? She was talking to the head of Oracle. And the people were coming out against the data center and saline. And she said, yeah, they always, you know, basically what she said is they disagree with us all the time. And she said, we just F and do what we want. Literally said it on mic. They caught her on a microphone. Oh, good. Well, good. Maybe some people might. wake up because of that. The problem is that our media is so distributed that not everybody hears everything. And so they get a little piece of the story here, a piece of the story there. But that doesn't allow most people to formulate a coherent thought or idea as to what's happening in this country. That's the problem with the fake stream media is it's all headlines, but nobody gets to the fine print. You know, it's like the always the fine print every contract. Let's just call it a contract. You know, it's not a contract, but you get it, is what really drives the entire contract. It's not the headline. It's not the proposals. It's not the bills headline. It's always in the details that you find out what's really going on there. Right. And if we treat the news media the same way, you know, I've had so many people say, oh, you know, I can't sit through three hours of being out. I'm like, I don't really care. You know, hate to say it. This is my education and I'm allowing other people to come into that and get to the bottom. I'm just patient enough to listen and talk with people for two, three hours a day. because you can't get the information. This is one thing I've absolutely learned. You cannot get information if you just talk to somebody for ten, fifteen minutes. They're going to give you the talking points, but until you really understand the whole issue all the way down to the finest detail, you're probably going to be missing the most important detail on what they're talking about. Right. Well, and they actually do bury information. the most important parts. Like I would tell people, watch the defense bills as they come through, because there's a lot of bad stuff that's embedded in the defense bills. And the reason why is because they're so big and nobody wants to go through a one thousand or two thousand page piece of legislation, you know, looking for a nit detail. that is a killer, you know, for us. And so, and I think too, you know, now it's like, it's like we, we do have a lot of, uh, more resources at our disposal to comb through things. And, um, It's, it is interesting. You have to check if you're using AI, you've got to check it because it's just a tool. If you don't check the calibration of the tool, just like if you're using any tool, if you don't check the calibration, know if it's accurate or not, you got bad information. It's a tool. It's not an end all, but it does help. I mean, there's, there's a lot of things that you can crunch through a lot quicker than having to find and pull all those resources. You can have it bring things up at the surface and then you just go back and You check and you double check and you find out what's really being said or if they flipped it. I did a report for the National Constitution Party last year on a federalist versus an anti-federalist approach to some things that they wanted to change. And I'm like, this is where you're going with it. And I fed it into AI just a little bit to see how well it was doing. And it literally flipped the terms federalist and anti-federalist. That's interesting. Yeah. I thought it was really interesting because everything that I'd put together, it flipped it. And so I was like, huh, you know, there's a, there's a, I see that in court cases all the time too. If you're writing a court case, you'll, you got to watch it because it will put in cases that is evidence for the other side. And when, when I did the ones in the state of Michigan that went to the court of claims, they gave it to like five attorneys in the court of claims. And all of the cases that they injected into it gave me evidence to prove my case. Huh. Well, I don't trust AI at all, period. I don't use AI. I don't want AI. Anything I want to know, I will find myself. And I don't know, people might consider that an old fashioned thing. kind of attitude but ai is a computer program and it's going to do what the programmers programmed it to do and so One thing that one of the tech guys that I know has said is that they launched AI too, too quick. So the founding premise of it now, I like AI. OK, I'm glad we have it. And I get in there and I use it. But like I said, I use it as a tool. not as a end-all to end-all. So like even if I use AI for something, I will go back through and read every word and I modify. I always modify it to have it say what I want it to say, okay? That's the truth. Can I write it? Yeah, I can write it. But it sometimes will bring things to light that I hadn't thought of, which I find really useful. It's sort of like having, to me, I see it is having a group of people around or talking to the whole of humanity through time. That doesn't mean that every single source that's contributing to it is accurate. Just like if you had a committee, you know, it's going to have inaccuracies. It's going to have hallucinations and such. So you've got to know the subject matter or you're going to be putting out flawed information. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's true. But the problem with AI is that it creates dependencies. And there'll be a lot more people out there that will become dependent on AI without considering that AI is just a tool. Ooh, you know what would be a cool thing to do? That just brought something to mind. You said that. Why couldn't we or shouldn't we create a manual tool on how to research without AI? Think about that. That's probably a good idea. That would be a lot of work. Because people don't even know how to research. It takes a while to learn, to get to the source documents. Yeah. I actually kind of fell into it that way. How did you do it? Well, I... Actually, I heard a lecture given by Thomas P.M. Barnett, and it so intrigued me what he said that I transcribed his entire two-and-a-half-hour presentation. Do you have that on one of your websites? Yes, I do. Can you share the link in the private chat? Yeah. Let's do that now. I'll do that. So that's when I really started researching to understand what he was talking about. Because the concepts that he was talking about, I thought were really bad for our country. Let me see if I can find that. article really quick because it was that important to me. And I spent probably about four or five months doing that, transcribing that program. Huh? Yeah, that would be real helpful for, I think, a lot of people. And every researcher that you find has a different toolbox. Really interesting. All right, here we go. Okay. Just talk for a second while I get down to this. Vicki's going, talk amongst yourselves. So it's me. I do that all the time. I can pull out a Karen here. I'll talk amongst myself. Hey, Karen, how's it going today? There's so much going on right now. We should probably get into that UFC fight from the weekend. I don't know. No, I don't know anything about a UFC fight. Yeah, it's like the, I don't know, it was the stuff at the White House. They had the festivities, Boston American Eagle, or Bald Eagle, and that was kind of fun. I have a lot of questions about all of it, though. I hate to say it, but I question everything, including how much of it's real and how much of it is just AI. Yeah, I don't know. But I feel that way. I have never liked sports events. The only sporting events I used to watch were the Olympics, and I liked the ice skating. And that was all up until the point when, who was it, Carter, that used the Olympics as a political tool? and prevented our athletes from going to the Olympics. And so, I mean, and that just ended it for me. But any kind of sporting events, I'm totally not interested. Yeah. I like hockey. Hockey's my thing. Yeah, it amazes me how many people like sporting events. And I really don't understand why. I like sporting events because I like to see talented people who can actually do things that I have no prayer of doing. So I absolutely love hockey because I think it's probably the most talented. It requires the most talent of any of the sports out there. You've got to be able to skate. handle a puck, fight off bad guys in real fights. And, and I don't know, just, and it's, it's, it's complex. So that's why I like hockey and it does require actual talent where a lot of them just, you know. Yeah. This is a part two of a story that I did. If scroll down, it's near the bottom where you'll see military in the twenty first century. and a picture of Thomas Barnett. And as I listened to him speak, he brought forward a lot of concepts that I was pretty horrified by, actually. How long is that video? It's about two and a half hours. OK. It's a long presentation. But once again, you have to listen to it. If you really want to know a subject, you can't just do like a flyby to get the information. You got to actually be there and study it, you know? Yeah. And that's really, I think, what most people do. don't have the attention span for. But if you're really going to try to understand something, it's something you have to do. There's no shortcut for really understanding a subject. And what he was talking about is basically a new world order. Yeah. And let's see, what did I put here? Yeah, he was at a military college and he directed the New Rule Sets Project in partnership with Cantor Fitzgerald. And our current Secretary of Commerce, What's his name? Rodnick? No. I'm sorry. He was at Cantor. Cantor Fitzgerald. And, of course, you know, they were setting up, as I recall, a global platform for trading energy. You remember Enron, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, and that's what they were doing. They were working on an energy trading system, except that they didn't have the, they were just doing the platform. They didn't, they did have some. Yeah, Ludnick. Yes. Let let Nick. Yeah. Yeah. Let Nick. Yeah. That's what I thought it was. I was like, I think that's right. Isn't it? Yeah, it is. Yeah. There's, there's a lot of bad information on, on several people that are there in place, but you know, I just kind of watch them because sometimes I think that if they get an insider and they can control them a little bit, they might have a good outcome, a better outcome that way. Cause you've got to infiltrate some somewhat to these systems and, in order to take them down. Well, and the systems that they set up, these globalized systems, it's like I said earlier, you can't serve two masters. You can either participate at the global level, which really is not in our interest, or you can protect our people and our country. And which is on a different side. You can't do both. There's no such thing as doing both. And so that's really what happened to our country. And our government has been basically disemboweled, disembodied. And so they reduced people to workers. We're not citizens, we're workers. Now, Trump has made some progress at bringing it back, but not enough and not fast enough. I think it's a little frustrating for everybody, but I'm on the other side of that one. I want to get them all, and I'm willing to give them the time to do it and see what happens. Unfortunately, nothing is clean, especially when we've got things to the point that they are right now. Somebody dropped something in the chat here that clandestine postulated that they are going to use that arena for public hangings for the fights. I think I really do think that, that, um, Yeah, here it is. It's all coming together. Trump is positioning himself to take full advantage of all eyeballs from the UFC fight, claiming that he has final agreement with Iran. And immediately after the UFC fight, he departs for France for the G-Seven Summit, where Trump said he might sign President Trump the final deal. Knowing President Trump, I think he's planning to break some big news either before or during the UFC fight while the world is watching. Now, let's see what else it. says here. This guy is pretty accurate. He's interesting. He's got some sort of inside knowledge. There's no way he could be as close to what's going to happen as he would if he didn't. That's kind of like a return to the Roman Colosseum where they pitted one warrior against another to the death. And that's something I really, really don't want to see. It's like a regression back in time. But look at what people want. I mean, they kind of, you know, if they'll watch, you know, I'm not a fight fan necessarily. So I don't really understand it terribly, but I guess some. But look at what people like to watch. People like to watch controversy. People like to watch things that are maybe not the best side of humanity. Yeah, I like to watch controversy. I like to watch debates. I don't like physical confrontations. That's not what I want to see. But I do understand that there are a lot of people who do. But it's just so primitive. It's like a regression. maybe it's everybody's just so sick of all of the crap that they want to see something, you know, that, that feels like justice. I don't know. I don't get it, but you know, I'm not really a fan of like feeding people to the lions and such, but some, sometimes I do think that, you know, there has to be justice. And when people, when people commit treason, there's a, there's a lawful way to handle that, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and I wouldn't mind at all, you know, putting him in a chair and giving him a shot and just putting him to sleep like a rabid animal, you know. Well, I guess that's the point. It's like a lot of people want to see other people suffer. It's like when you got a dog that bites or some, you know, you know what I mean? You don't really want to see him suffer. You just say we need to handle the problem. There shouldn't be any way out of it, you know. That's something that's quite interesting. A guy named Milgram did an experiment. I think it was the nineteen sixties or seventies to see how people would react to torturing another person. And most people went along with it. Yeah, I've seen that. That is like so crazy that people can't think for themselves. They just want to be told what to do. Yeah. It's insane. Yeah. And no matter the consequences, they will just follow orders, which is a horrifying thing. You know, that they don't have enough independence of thought, of morality. that they would participate in torture just because somebody told them to do it. Yeah, it's insane. Okay, so the deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all. I hereby fully authorize the toll-free opening of the Straits of Hormuz and simultaneously herewith authorize the immediate removal of the United States naval blockade. Ships of the world, start your engines. Let the oil flow, President Donald J. Trump. I wonder if that's true. I don't know. This is what clandestine says, and like I said, it's usually right on. This is what he says, and there it is, right on schedule. Trump announces that the deal with Iran is complete. He said that it was going to happen about three posts earlier. Straits of Hormuz will be open, troll-free to all, blockade is done, and now Trump will have the positive optics, celebration during the UFC fight on the White House lawn, and leave from the UFC broadcast. Sign the deal with Europe, stock markets will surge, oil will go down, and left and anti-Trumpers will be shameless. Optics masterclass is coming. Are you not entertained? Hang on a minute, I want to see what else we have here. Oh, yeah, here it is. Wanted to check this out because LeB brought this up about using the, that's not there yet. but using it might be on his ex account. I'm looking at telegram right now, but to, to use the, the structure, who knows? I mean, I mean, it's, it's all, it's all interesting to see how this all comes together, but I feel like, I feel like we're careening down a mountain right now. You know what I mean? And, or maybe I should say it the other way. We're like, we're like just shooting up a rocket on a, on a, on a mountain headed for the precipice, but not really sure exactly the paths we're going to take to get there. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah, that's kind of a good analogy because if you line people up and, you know, march them towards the edge of the cliff, they'll jump off. And, you know, it's like there's a mouse story that's like that. The Pied Piper. Yeah, the Pied Piper will just lead them off a cliff. Yeah, that's like the Uniparty. That would be a great meme. I'm going to send that out. Somebody who's listening, if my meme lords that are out there are listening, that's what we need. Pied Piper, the Uniparty, leading the rats off the cliff. Mm-hmm. Probably mixed bag there of rats and mice. Mice are not so terrifying, but rats are kind of terrifying. Yes, they are. Yeah. So I've got a great rat story sometime I'll have to tell you. was i've only i battled a rat i have battled a rat i have uh battled let's see uh skunks hand-to-hand combat here oh no yeah that's what happens to your farm girl you know the farm girls are all savage it's complete savagery i don't know i used to uh go visit my grandmother and they had skunks that would come around it in the evening and you could, you could smell them. I mean, God, it was just so horrible. Um, so no, I, I'm a go the other way person when it comes to rats and skunks. Oh yeah. Yeah. Well, that is a, They're interesting at any rate. We had a mouse apocalypse last week in the barn. And so we were having a mouse problem in some of the feed bags for the chickens. So we decided to do a mouse apocalypse. Have you ever heard of the walk the plank trap for mice? No. No. It really works, okay, but you've got to know how to make it work. So everybody was setting it up, putting peanut butter on the trap. I'm like, that's not how you catch the mice on a walking plane. So I went ahead and set it up on a bucket, and I showed everybody, no, this is the way you're supposed to do it. Just put the trap up there over a five-gallon bucket, put about a gallon and a half of water in the bottom, and then float some sunflower seeds on top of it. So the next day, one of the guests in the barn said to me, she goes, dad, it's horrible. She was like, I don't even know what to say, but she's a farm girl. So it was a good thing. She said, there are tails everywhere sticking up out of this. I'm like, well, pour it out and see how many of them we got. I think we had seventeen or eighteen mice in one night. Now, it works really good if you know how to make them work. You can literally de-rodinize your your area very quickly with we've got several different traps that I've used over the years because if you have animals that the rodents are going to come. It's just the way it is. You just got to control them. Right. So, yeah, we had, we had, we had, we had, we had, we had, we had, we had, we had, we had, we had, we had, we had, we had, we had, we had, we had, we had, we had, we had, were done that's pretty cool actually that's uh let me see if i can find a picture of them because you'll like them i think it's pretty it's pretty darn cool it's a good trap um and then i'll tell everybody how to do this because it's kind of important let's see if we got it here let's see if they do it right i don't know if we'll get one that oh here we go shopping for all right guys here it is here is your mouse pop apocalypse adventure so there's different there's different ways of doing it and such but i always get the one that has a good ramp on it but there's one that is the cheaper way to do it with a plastic ramp let's see if we can find it yeah there you go and uh with plastic ramps set it up on the side of the bucket like that and They'll say, oh, put peanut butter on it. Don't do the peanut butter. Somebody's going to just lick it off. It's bigger than a mouse. You'll waste your time. And then they just kind of fall in. You don't need a top to the bucket. Oh, that's a flip top one. I haven't used that one. We use this one. I guess that one would work pretty good too. You might have to use, try that. But there are so many. You can get so many mice. There you go. There's one that's a couple bucks for two of them. Put it on a five gallon bucket. about a gallon and a half of water in it and float some sunflower, black sunflower seeds on it. They float and bye-bye mousies. Yeah. So what happens is they crawl it on the plank and it goes like that and just flips them right in. Oh, my grandma carried baby skunks around inside her bra when she was a kid. She was wearing a bra, but that's funny. But the babies of any species are always so cute. Yeah, but they grow up. They grow up. So back to this little corporatocracy nonsense. Sorry for the break to mouse apocalypse, but that's what we do here anyhow. So, yeah. So is there anything else that you're seeing that is disturbing about the corporatocracy nonsense? and what's going on. I did a dig this morning on the candidates a little bit to see, and Jim Rudd instead, the chairman of the GOP, to see if there was any influence there. Well, I haven't looked at that, but I will tell you that the Corbett report, Jim Corbett, he just wrote an article about Bill Gates and his influence. Of course, he's basically been shunned now because of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. But when you understand what Bill Gates was involved in, which is pandemic planning, vaccinations, public health, then you can understand what his interest was with all the philanthropy. It was not philanthropy. What he was doing was buying, officials, both the nonprofit and government. And blackmailing them. Yeah, for his own profit, for Microsoft profit. So it was business investments, not philanthropy. It always is. Mm-hmm. And that's something that has to be fixed in our country is if I had my way, I would eliminate the, what is it? The nonprofit status. I would eliminate that altogether. The, the five Oh one C three organization. Well, and one thing that I learned when I was looking at setting up a nonprofit, because I thought that would be a way to go to try to help finance lawsuits. And I didn't file it. There was something that, I don't know why, I just kind of kept feeling that there's something wrong. And I try to listen to God when I feel that way. I assume that it's coming from God, so I didn't file anything. But I've got everything set up to file for something to help people. And there's another designation in Michigan that I may pursue, which is not a But it would give us the ability to help people get remedy for when their rights are violated and such. But what I found out is that all of these nonprofits run a LLC or a corporate or an Inc. You know, you just saw that one for the incorporated that runs next to the main five one C three. And that's where they do the commerce. So they trade money back and forth so that they never have to pay taxes on it, even when they're in commerce. So they pay themselves, they pay other people in their families, they pay all sorts of things where that money is being diverted for other than where it's supposed to go or their stated purpose. Right. And the LLC is dark because it's private. And they can contribute to the politicians who, once again, give them more leeway and more abilities to funnel money away from people. Yeah. So personally, I would eliminate both the five oh one C three and the five oh one C four. If people want to donate money to an organization, fine, do it. But don't do it at taxpayer expense. And I would also require absolute transparency. Who runs it? And so that people can research who they're affiliated with. Yeah, there should be no PAC monies involved in the candidates. There shouldn't be any money involved in the elections anyway. There's ways of doing it now where we don't have to have money in the elections. So they've created an industry, a political industry, and it's all based on how much money people can make, whether they're consultants and who do the consultants actually work for, what are their goals. How about this? How about the signature gatherers? Are the people gathering signatures getting paid per signature for the ones that are pushing the proposals. I've had that brought up to me concerning, they said, you should ask the question, is anybody that's associated with, say, like Axe My Tax and or the people that are pushing these things, are they getting paid for signature? Yeah, that's a good question. Because if somebody's bringing up a proposal, I don't know the answer to that. But if somebody's got a proposal on the ballot, who's paying them to do all the collections? There's nobody that's doing this for free. Right. Nobody does anything for free in this country. There really is no... Except me. Okay, okay. Except me and except you right now. I mean, realistically, neither one of us get paid for any of this stuff. And we put a ton of money in our own money. in this nation and I've never asked for a dime. Yeah. Well, me either. People want to give it to me. That'd be great. But I'm not going to ask because, you know, that's, that's just like, if they want to give something that's fine, but I will never ask for it because it's, you know, maybe I should never use the word never. When you say that you're always going to prove yourself wrong, but I don't, I don't ask. I don't necessarily ask for, for personal reasons. I don't ask for money. Yeah. Well, I never wanted to be influenced. I don't want to be a beggar that being a beggar is just absolutely disgust me. Yeah. Well, and that's all they do. I mean, that's their whole, their whole deal is begging for money for this cause that cause. And the thing is, is that those causes are not really for the most part presented as they really are. Well, what they do is it's like they beg for money. They have a fundraiser in order to have another fundraiser in order to have another fundraiser for their little chosen clubs in the Republican Party and the Democrat Party. They're both doing it. But what do they change? Not a thing. It's a bus going straight for destruction. There's no coming out of this. I've never seen anybody that used that money. to do anything except for fund their little chosen candidates, which are taking dark money anyway. They don't even need that money from the people or the said supporters on a local level because they're getting money. They're getting dark money from all of these corporations in the PACs and all that sort of thing that you can't trace back. Right. The pittance of a money that people on the ground, the everyday Americans give, it is a pittance compared to what they get through the corporations. And they're just agents of foreign governments and corporations. It's all they are. Yeah. Well, there was one guy who started researching the Clintons and the Clinton foundations, and he just did a tremendous job. But then he kind of, after he exposed it, then he kind of dropped out of sight. But the Clintons had foundations that were nonprofits, but really they were working for themselves. So you were really donating to their political funds. So the whole thing is corrupt, but it doesn't seem that our government, our Congress, is acting on any of this information that they have about how our country has become so corrupt from top to bottom. Right. And and and it's like the failure of people to get involved is what's shocking to me. You know, it's just absolutely shocking. We don't like what who's up there as a politician. Then why don't you run? It's like, why don't you get in to make a difference? Oh, we can't make a difference. Well, you can't with that kind of attitude. If you don't even try, you know, that that's kind of that's kind of always shocking to me. Yeah. Yeah. Well, and what they should be thinking about, if you are basically a good person, then you should be seeing that maybe the people that are running are not such good people. And then what they always say is, oh, you know, we go to church with them. You know, our kids went to school together. I don't care if it was a brother or a sister. If they're doing the wrong thing, you got to call them out. You know, stranger danger here, guys. You know, Jim Corbett did a wonderful recount on he's got a whole bunch of documentaries. I went through a site here where we were talking about. and uh just to look at his uh the documentaries he's put together and these his stuff is really good have you ever watched nine eleven in five minutes or less uh no i haven't seen that one one of my absolute favorite videos here that i'm gonna see if i can pull it up a minute let's see i think it's on bit shoot um Let's see if we can pull it up. Yeah, here it is right here. Oh, they've got it on YouTube. Let me see if I can find it on BitChute because then I can actually play it without having to stop all over the place. Oh, here it is. Yeah, BitChute. I can play that. I won't get a ding on this one, which is a good thing. Let me bring on Renita a minute. We'll sit through this and just watch this a minute. Morning, Renita. How are you doing? Good morning. Doing well. That's cool. I want to show you this because this is one of those videos that is life-changing for a lot of people because it was stuff that I saw pretty much right off the bat. It's like, oh, I'm so sure that an airline is going to cut a plane-shaped Wile E. Coyote outline into the side of a building, an airplane. They can't even touch wings on a runway without crumpling the wing. it's like i'm sure it's gonna cut let's watch just a second and then we'll we'll talk some more and i think you're gonna enjoy this this incredible story has gone viral across the united states this team genius just discovered how to power homes for almost zero check out the outlet that you know of course we gotta go through all our advertisements let me show you how it works so it goes directly on the morning of september eleventh two thousand one nineteen men armed with box cutters directed by a man on dialysis in a cave fortress halfway around the world using a satellite phone and a laptop directed the most sophisticated penetration of the most heavily defended airspace in the world overpowering the passengers in the military combat train pilots on four commercial aircraft before flying those planes wildly off course for over an hour without being molested by a single fighter interceptor these nineteen hijackers devout religious fundamentalists who like to drink alcohol snort cocaine and live with pink-haired strippers managed to knock down three buildings with two planes in new york while in washington a pilot who couldn't handle a single engine cessna was able to fly a seven fifty seven and an eight thousand foot descending two hundred seventy degree corkscrew turn to come exactly level with the ground hitting the pentagon in the budget analyst office where dod staffers were working on the mystery of the two point three trillion dollars that defense secretary donald rumsfeld had announced missing for the pentagon's coffers in a press conference the day before on september tenth two thousand one may i add republican yeah luckily the news anchors knew who did it within minutes the pundits knew within hours the administration knew within the day terrorist who committed these acts republican and those who harbor them. And the evidence literally fell into the FBI's lap that a hijacker's passport was found blocks from the World Trade Center crash site in England. But for some reason, a bunch of crazy conspiracy theorists demanded an investigation into the greatest attack on American soil in history. That investigation was delayed, underfunded, set up to fail, a conflict of interest, and a cover-up from start to finish. It was based on testimony extracted through torture, the records of which were destroyed. It failed to mention the existence of WTC-VII, Able Danger, P-TECH, Sebel Edmonds, OBL and the CIA, and the drills of hijacked aircraft being flown into buildings that were being simulated at the precise same time that those events were actually happening. It was lied to by the Pentagon, the CIA, the Bush administration, and as for Bush and Cheney, well, no one knows what they told it because they testified in secret, off the record, not under oath, and behind closed doors. It didn't bother to look at who funded the attacks because that question is ultimately of little practical significance. Still, the nine-eleven commission did brilliantly answering all of the questions the public had, except most of the victim's family members' questions, and pinned blame on all the people responsible. Okay, I'm going to take a quick pause so they don't ding me here for a violation of, I don't know, whatever they do. So let's see if we can go again. Okay. The SEC destroyed their records on the investigation into the insider trading before the attacks, but that's okay because destroying the records of the largest investigation in SEC history is just part of routine record keeping. NIST has classified the data that they used for their model of WTC seven's collapse, but that's okay because knowing how they made their model of the collapse would jeopardize public safety. The FBI has argued that all material related to their investigation of nine-eleven should be kept secret from the public, but that's okay because the FBI probably has nothing to hide. This man never existed, nor is anything he had to say worthy of your attention, and if you say otherwise, you are a paranoid conspiracy theorist and deserve to be shunned by all of humanity. Likewise him, him, him, and her, and her, and her, and him. Osama bin Laden lived in a cave fortress in the hills of Afghanistan, but somehow got away. Then he was hiding out in Tora Bora, but somehow got away. Then he lived in Abbottabad for years, taunting the most comprehensive intelligence dragnet employing the most sophisticated technology in the history of the world for a decade, releasing video after video with complete impunity and getting younger and younger as he did so, before finally being found in a daring SEAL team raid which wasn't recorded on video, in which he didn't resist or use his wife as a human shield, and in which these crack special forces operatives panicked and killed this unarmed man, supposedly the best source of intelligence about those dastardly terrorists on the entire planet. Then they dumped his body in the ocean before telling anyone about it. Then a couple dozen of that team's members died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. This is the story of Nine-Eleven, brought to you by the media which told you the hard truths about... His head could be seen to move violently forward. And... They took the babies out of incubators. And horrible production facilities. And the rescue of Jessica Lynch. If you have any questions about this story, you are a batshit, paranoid, tinfoil, dog-abusing baby hater and will be reviled by everyone. If you love your country and or freedom, happiness, rainbows, rock and roll, puppy dogs, apple pie, and your grandma, you will never, ever express doubts about any part of this story to anyone. Ever. This has been a public service announcement by the friends of the FBI, CIA, NSA, DIA, SEC, NSM, White House, NIST, and the nine eleven commission. Because ignorance is strength. I think he does a really good job. Yeah, he does. I have to say he's one of the best. alternative media reporters, and he's more than just a reporter. He's an analyst, you know. So I would recommend his work to anybody. Get on his mailing list. Yeah. All the best people are right. Don't you think, you know, just as they're said, but they, they move on. Well, thanks for being on here today, Vicki. I'm going to go to Renita here and I always enjoy starting on my Monday morning this way. I, like I said, I think next week, I think the next, I'm going to take the next couple of weeks off here because I've got a lot of traveling to do and I'm going to be in DC among other places. So I'm not sure how much I'm going to be on here for the next three weeks, but I'll keep everybody posted. So how are you this morning? Doing great. Awesome. So I'm going to bring your, your outline up here today. I love it. You're organized and give it, start an outline. We usually just like talk, you know, and so, but this is fantastic. So how was your weekend? It was a good weekend. Had a good gathering with some friends in the community that I work with and had a nice chat session for several hours Saturday night. So it's always good to get everybody on the same page and with new people, try to get them up to speed with some of what we've been doing for five years. That's amazing. How many people do you have in your networks that you're talking, that you talk to about? Well, I've got a little over a hundred that I email every week or two to keep them up on what's going on, on a variety of topics. And then, um, try to do monthly meetings. Most of the year, we take a couple months off in the summer, but And then those that attend the meetings with us, there's a little growing group, which is good to have some support at meetings. That's wonderful. When I get past the Fourth of July, maybe I'll be able to run up sometime and say hi to everybody. That would be nice. That'd be great. So where we started here, it's like things that you noticed after last week's show. What did you notice? I thought it interesting because I've been aware of the Open Meeting Acts and the Freedom of Information Act for quite some time. And I was early on in my journey. I started reading those. So I had made the comment that they were easy to read because they weren't that long. And so I made the comment that the Open Meeting Act was eight pages. Well, then I noticed that you had shared it in the Telegram channel. And when I clicked on it. I was like, wait, what happened? It's thirteen pages now. Well, that was kind of curious because these are old documents. It's not like it's a new law that just went into effect. But because of sitting in township meetings and commissioner meetings, I knew that there was something coming for the Internet for the American with disabilities. And That is that all websites that are, I forget how they state it, but basically any of the public websites like the state, the township, the counties, cities will need to become compliant with this new law that they're, I don't even know if it's a law, but it's an act that Um, they need to have all of these things in place. They moved it back a year. It was supposed to be this year that that was going to happen, but it actually is happening next year. And that's for the larger communities that are fifty thousand and above. And smaller jurisdictions have one additional year till twenty twenty eight. But in listening to what it is, and I sent you a little accessibility document I always find these things interesting when they are trying to tell you why something needs to happen. They give you the worst case scenarios and numbers that make it sound like you really have no choice but to do this because of the impact. So, I mean, they talk about one point three billion people worldwide. who live with disabilities, including auditory, cognitive, neurological, physical, speech, and visual disabilities. And then they go on to say many disabilities can significantly impact how users interact with the web. So they never actually tell you which of these things stop people from interacting with the web. They just say it can. And as you know, the words can, shall, must, all have very different meetings when they're used. And so I just look at that and I go, well, I'd like to know how many actually are directly impacted that can't use websites that are out there because of this. I mean, they reference color blindness and different things and font size, as we know, I mean, we have the large text versions of documents and, um, but I do find it interesting because a PDF you're able to zoom in and make it any size you need to be able to read, even if it starts out very small. So for instance, the Open Meeting Act and the FOIA, okay, the state website, it was a smaller font, but it comes down as a PDF, which you can zoom in and make it large enough to read even on a phone. The point you're making is why did they make a big deal out of this when the users already have that ability to take care of it themselves? Yes. Technology is already embedded out there for this to happen. So a discussion that took place at our township after they went to the Michigan Township Association conference where they heard about this, they came back going you know what if we can if there's a possibility that we're going to get fined because one of our documents on our website's not up to the standard because they will have to be formatted a certain way give options for changing the color contrast and the pdfs have to be saved saved with a certain font so Even your current documents, you have to go back. So like on the state website, I noticed after you posted that, that on June six, there was an update. Well, I went back and looked yesterday or Saturday, and now it says June tenth. So they're still actively having to rerender these things to make them compliant. Well, here's a question. If, if government is supposed to be locally directed, why is it that the state is fining all of the townships or whatever for being compliant with what they want done? Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? Well, and this is actually, I believe a federal, it's at a, what's a federal one. Okay. It's not just state. So how in the world does the federal government tell the states what to do? Right. Well, And in our case, how are all the small townships who most don't have their own administrative assistant hired? So who's going to go back and redo their documents? Who's going to make sure all their meeting minutes are put up in a certain font and a certain format. So what this is doing is creating a tremendous amount of income stream for a bunch of people that will now go out there and say, we will update your website for you. Give us all your documents. So we look at the cost and the possibility of a fine that could be much more significant. Or the townships, all the townships are completely broke without federal money. Right. And so you go. So the discussion was maybe we'll just get rid of our website. So I go, oh, wait. So we're going to help some people potentially that it can help them by making it such that we will just get rid of the websites. And then the whole community loses because now we have no access. Oh, and we don't have anybody answering the phones all the time. So if they want information, they could have gone to a website to get. And now they took the website down because they weren't going to try to figure out how to stay compliant with all these new rules and regulations. then okay now when we want to find out is it recycle this week or next and we lost our calendar but we could look online oh but the website doesn't exist so it's like are we really benefiting our communities by putting this in place and how many people with the disabilities are complaining i mean you don't that's what i mean you don't really know the numbers so to tell us one point three billion have some type of disability doesn't really give us any clue locally what the impact is. So I haven't, at least I haven't seen those studies. Maybe they exist somewhere. Well, you know, and it comes back to if there's a will, there's a way. You know what I mean? If people want that information, there are multiple ways of getting that information. Correct. And I don't know, it's sort of like having other languages available for public services and such. It's such a horrific expense that there's got to be some cohesion and unity there. that's built in. Otherwise, you know, let's just say that we provide Spanish as a, you know, as a second language. Now what happens if we get a whole bunch of people that are Arabic here? They can scream the same thing. And now we've got to have everything in triplicate or you know, quadruple or whatever it is, you know, we've heard speaking Farsi or whatever. I mean, think about, think about that. The precedent being set for that and the amount of dollars and creation of other jobs and such. that that goes with us and the grift, you know, the biggest grift in all of this stuff that I see goes back to a language that they've used on our signs. They paid two guys to create a more readable font for the signage, and everybody has to pay a royalty to those two guys when and it didn't improve the visibility at all. They just created an industry and they've made they've made a tremendous amount of money off of this for no reason. Right. And one of the questions is the companies that are doing these upgrades for all these townships and cities and stuff. Okay. What happens if they mess up and they don't put a document out correctly? Who's going to be liable for all of that? So then who do we help? Oh, that's right. We get the lawyers involved again. So they all make a lot of money off of trying to defend everybody. Or screw everybody. It's like legal theft from the attorneys. Well, I might feel that at the moment. Well, I'll say it out loud. The whole bar association should be abolished because private membership association, they don't even hand out licenses. That's just a good old boys club. to protect themselves. That is a misconception in Michigan is that our lawyers are licensed. Yeah. We don't have any licenses, but they say, oh, I got a license to practice. No, you don't. Now you're committing fraud upon the people of Michigan. So they should all be prosecuted. I got a license to practice. No, you don't. Yeah. Well, part of the education system that things I've learned over the past five years that Again, if we don't dig into these things, you just kind of assume this is how it goes and because that's what we were told. But it's much like our people that are elected to these positions. They're in the same boat of going, well, I was just told we've always done it this way. So therefore, we keep doing it that way instead of going, maybe it's not the right way and we actually need to go out and learn how to do it the right way. Think for ourselves and insert some honesty and credibility and virtue into the things we do instead of just being a sheeple. Right. Well, and unfortunately, when you do learn, then they don't appreciate that you learned something because then you ask too many questions or you make too many public comments or letters to the editor or whatever the case may be that. they find it very uncomfortable for the people to become educated on a lot of these topics. Oh no, maybe somebody wouldn't like us for holding them accountable. Wouldn't that be tragic? Well, I really appreciate you, Renita. You're amazing. I would have given up a few years ago, so with my husband, if we would have felt that that was the reason we were doing this, but it's not. It's We do believe that there are rules and there are policies and there are laws and they should be followed. And certainly if you run for a position and the people have elected you with some confidence that you were actually working on their behalf, you should do such. But to start to attack the public that elected you is not really fulfilling your duty as a servant to the people. So at least from my perspective, which is why we keep fighting and learning. Yeah. And so, I mean, like with that ADA, it's like, what is the cost benefit? And what is the downside of it? I mean, you only hear of the people it's going to help, but it doesn't tell you at what cost and what other things are we going to lose now by putting something through. To your point, though, there are other ways of getting this done on computers. And it's kind of an insult to people in a way. If you have to have everything spoon fed instead of the fact that everybody's on a computer, everybody is using a computer or their phone. There's always ways of doing it. You can do, you know, for I've got a friend who doesn't read or write. And he, he makes it work and he writes and he, he gets it all done, but he does it by voice. He has it talk to him and that's on his phone. That's not having to be, you know, done through a township or municipality that, you know, it's not done through the government. It's just, he's just got skill to just, Oh, if you, if you, can't make this work then go to your thing and your phone and have it translate for you or have it you know you can translate it's just like in other languages you can translate anything into other languages if you don't want to learn the accepted language of a country then figure it out either learn it or get a translator there's there's lots of options and if you look at some of the school websites they already have the ability to translate their websites for people using it into a lot of different languages. It's not just English or Spanish. I know our website for our local school district has a multitude of different languages you can select. So as you have more people where English is a second language, they already have their websites interpreting things. So again, and the thing is this not only applies to like local governments, it will also potentially be applied to nonprofits. So that's another whole can of worms. And you can archive all your old documents and kind of grandfather them in under, you know, not complying with it, but anything new coming on your website would need to be compliant with that as well as your existing static part of your website and your dropdown thing. So, so yeah, so that that's just a, thing that I guess people can check with their townships and see how they're planning to deal with that and what approach. Some are ahead of it. And like I said, the state's still sitting there trying to figure it out if they're changing their documents every few days for how they rendered them under the compliance. And so Freedom of Information Act was fourteen pages. Now it's twenty pages. So how many more trees are we going to kill when people want to print these out because they've made them so much bigger? So it's just kind of a cumulative effect of what's the downside. We're only told, well, it's going to benefit somebody. And that seems to be a lot of what we hear is things that are put in place because they're going to benefit somebody. But is it a few people or one percent? Not that we dismiss that one percent, but what's the cost to do these things? And as you say, as we sit and listen to all the grant money and everything that all of the different bodies use. It is, from my perspective, feels a little bit like corporate welfare after a while because they really can't survive without all of this money. Yet they keep taking more and more money from us. So I'm not sure how they get all these grants, but somehow we keep paying. And, uh, There's no accountability for any of it. There's no accountability for them to produce. It's just like when Mary Barra took the eight hundred and forty six million dollar grant to create four thousand jobs allegedly and then went and opened up a plant down in Mexico. Where is that an OK thing for us? I mean, you know, you're you're looking at you're looking at a company and a lot of corporations that are actually owned by foreign entities. We're just flushing it right out of the country. This is it's ridiculous. Yeah, the money. Well, I don't know all the details for Goshen and all the different things in the battery plant from China. And I know there have been a lot of different investments and we watch it locally. You just kind of watch. We've sat in city council where we see a new company or expanding company and they're like, oh, to save these twenty six jobs, we're going to give millions of dollars in credits and. You just go at what cost? Maybe they should compete, like, you know, or, you know, get in there and try to perform like the rest of us. You know, if they can't make it without the big corporate welfare subsidies and such, maybe they shouldn't be there. You know, maybe we should have everyday Americans figuring it out like we've always done it, you know? You mean instead of creating budgets that actually, like, if your funding's going down, you decrease your budget rather than increase it and go, we'll figure out later how to pay for what we are short. Yeah, let's just go grab that group of people over there and turn them upside down and shake out their pockets and see. That's how we'll fix the problem. Well, school bonds is obviously one of those things that we have run into and I've been watching across the state. And a lot of that's the same thing. I mean, we don't have money to keep our buildings well maintained and fixed. But at the same time, we keep running budgets over into a deficit and then go, well, we can't fix the building. So we just need to tax you guys a little more. You need to pay for the next twenty five years for your lifetime and maybe your kids. But so, I mean, those are all things, again, as I we keep learning and digging, it's kind of interesting to see how money flows or how we lose so much of our money that we're trying to live on. Yeah, they don't see us as anything except for in the way and something to steal from. But I digress. So training opportunities, civic responsibilities. Yeah, this is something I started right from the beginning after I took the Constitution classes. I started watching for opportunities to get out and learn because there are different organizations out there that you can go in person. I enjoy doing the in-person training because it gives you a chance to network with other people that are either just starting out or some that have been in the trenches for a while to hear. So like one of the first trainings I went to was on school boards and FOIAs and things. So that was just something that I thought, well, this will be interesting to go and learn. I had gone to a few school board meetings and listening to people that either were on school boards or had been attending school board meetings for a while. It was just very educational because you could kind of hear some of their stories about what worked, what didn't work. And you find every community, every school district is different. So it's not like there's a cookie cutter way to do any of this stuff because the whole makeup of a board is going to be different. And so one of the other things I did was took Foundations for Applied Conservative Leadership. And that group, referred to as FACL, they do a lot of political leadership training. And so I found that interesting, again, not knowing what direction I was going with anything when I started this five years ago. I was like, well, let's go see what does the political side of things look like? And so they would sit there and give you the opportunity to talk to people. people come in that did the training and speaking to the group, and then you'd have breakout sessions and discuss with others. And it just gave an idea of how do you even go through the process of building up a campaign? How do you fund it? How do you get supporters? So that was very helpful to learn that information. Do you know who's behind them? I don't know for them. I don't, again, when I did all of this in the beginning, I didn't have all of those types of things I even knew to look into. Um, but I know they have people around the country that do this. Like the person that spoke at ours was from Indiana, um, that had gone through the ranks and was in, I can't remember if it was the house or the Senate in Indiana, but so they would share from their experiences and what happens. And, um, And one of the biggest things I was impressed with out of that training was the need to stay in the game. You don't do things for a few months and then go, okay, here's an election. Win or lose, it's done. We walk away. So the need to constantly stay engaged, which is why I've been going to all these meetings all these years, is because you don't learn a lot if you just go a few times and you walk away. because every meeting has some topic or discussion that you can pick little parts out and tuck them aside for later. And that's how we start to cross references what's going on at the commissioner meetings. And then you listen to the township meetings and then you go to the school board or you go to a city council. So you find the overlaps and then you find how, I mean, we've had times where at our township meetings, we would have to inform them about what we heard at commissioners that was going to affect our township because they hadn't heard about it yet, but we heard about it in a commissioner meeting. So again, just kind of being that, I guess, voluntary liaison, whether they want it or not, between organizations and just trying to keep information flowing to optimize what's going on. And so that was some of what I learned out of that one. Another thing quite a few of us took was Robert's Rules of Order. And that's a good way just to kind of understand the parliamentary procedure that takes place at meetings, helps the public understand. So they offered that out in our community. And I know there were about thirty five that took it mostly from our area. But Again, it just lets you know when you're sitting in a meeting, what's the purpose of the motions and the second and the discussion and what order those things should take place. And so Leadership Institute, that's not the class that we took because we had somebody come and do it in person, but they do have that out there and it's only fifteen dollars. And it's, I would guess, a good course to be able to just get some preliminary basics. The book itself is much larger, hundreds of pages. And a lot of board meetings, you're not going to go into that kind of depth. Ironically, we were aware of all of this and we've sat through the school board meetings and stuff. Well, a couple of years ago, all of a sudden we're sitting in a meeting in someone that we knew to be a parliamentarian at another organization. the president looked at him and was kind of confused about where to go next. And so he looked at him and he goes, I'm not really sure how should we handle this? Well, this individual just shrugged his shoulders and Joe and I just kind of looked at each other because we're like, wait a minute. He knows how meetings are supposed to flow. He's a parliamentarian. Well, that made us question things. So we went home and we're like, Okay, they used to have a policy that said Robert's Rules of Order governed their meetings. Well, we found out when they adopted their new Troon law firm policy manual, it no longer referenced Robert's Rules of Order for conducting their meetings. So again, just little things, once you learn them, you can go through and kind of apply it and you notice when things aren't working the way they're supposed to. I see that Chris Ann Hall is the teacher of the history of the Constitution. I just absolutely adore her. She is wonderful. Yes, I've heard some of her brief talks. I didn't take the class through that. But yeah, and that's the thing. I mean, they have Leadership Institute has a wide variety. I've taken a few of those, some in person and some just through the Zoom call training. And they offer a lot of opportunities for people that want to get out there and kind of, it's a good way to figure out, is it something I want to do? And then if I do it, you know, get elected for a position, how should I move forward? What kinds of things should I push? What should I ask for? One of the things on that site too was the Citizen Ninja. Well, that was a class that Joe and I took. It was a video class and we got the books and stuff. And And it talked about the fact that you need to get into your community. You need to learn the structure, the organizations, the different elected positions. And it tells you how to become more active and become kind of a little ninja in your community, so to say, and ways to promote getting out there and learning. And so that was a good class as well to take. So that's awesome that, you know, just the constant pursuit of, of learning new things is something that should be on everyone's list for the day. What can I learn today? And then at the end of the day, what did I learn? You'll feel good about yourself too. If you put yourself on a self-education track in life, instead of going to one, just, you know, instant gratification thing to the other, have a long-term plan where every day you make a little bit of a, of a, you know, a gain. I mean, I, I, I once heard, if you think about this, if you memorize one verse of the Bible every day, think about how much the Bible you have memorized within a year. It's tremendous, you know, well, in bite-sized pieces. And that's what a lot of this has been is just a gradual accumulation of information over the years and different pockets of how to do things. And, um, So, and I know like Hillsdale College has a whole bunch of free courses as well on different topics. And so if somebody goes out and uses Google or some other platform, they can go out and find different topics that they want to learn about. So it is something that I used to hear the old adage that you only use ten percent of your brain. And that was what I remembered from when I was a kid. And I found some other people that remember that too. Well, ironically, I went to Google that to prove it to somebody once. And all of a sudden, the internet now tells you you use seventy percent of your brain. And I was like, really? So I'm not sure how that could possibly be. So I'm like, and then another one was like, it's almost totally you. So I'm going, I guess it just depends which website you want to believe. But I would hate to think we are so maxed out that we really can't learn a whole lot more. Because I know I've learned a whole lot in five years that probably more than I did in most of my prior years. at least on all of these topics, because this was not something I spent any energy, I knew minimal about. And as I got involved, it was important to educate ourselves and then to bring some friends along. And that's kind of where we are, is we keep trying to find new people in the community that want to learn a little more, get a little more involved, and also just understand the kind of the under inner workings of the government locally, because it does take educating a larger group so that you can stand up and make a difference because one of us can make a difference, but. Ten or twenty would make a bigger difference. Right, right. And so I will repost all of these links on my Telegram and X account for people to so that they can they can have access to, to all of it. So I think this is, I think this is really great. I like the leadership Institute too. So, I mean, this is going to be very, very helpful. I had a gal on here years ago, a couple of years ago, and I I've got to look her up because she came to me through the, through the gentleman that was instrumental in writing the continuity of government, you know, policies. And so I found them to be very, very interesting, both of them, because they actually did the work and are involved on a very high level of how to make things work the way it's supposed to be. Right. And that's the thing. There are rules, laws, there are things that are supposed to be followed. And sadly, if they don't follow the laws, We end up with little recourse, but to try to change things. And again, through the legal system, it's almost impossible to hold people accountable i mean you have good people sitting in the seats until people start until people start stepping up to run for office we're going to have the same old selected candidates that they choose for us that we really have no voice in and they're being paid by the corporations that's why they have the big money we can't we can't out you know spend them but we can outperform them if everybody you know gets on board and starts pulling weight together i don't think you can do it through the through the uniparty because it's so rigged by money well and the more things and sadly michigan i can't remember if it was twenty four states or something that uses the straight ticket voting right that is a liability for anybody that's not one of the two major parties because So they control the whole thing. Right. And I think I mentioned to you that school boards, they're looking at trying to make them partisan now. Well, that basically says, okay, if you're an independent person, if you don't claim a party to run under, then you will never make it through that whole election process. So it kind of controls who ends up on the school boards. You would have to be an R or D or you don't get on. And the R and the Ds get chosen by a very small group of people who are funded by the corporations. It's like it's this rat wheel that we're on. Yes. So it's difficult to break in. The only good thing is knowing that about seventy five percent of the elections in Michigan are running unopposed tells you there is a lot of room to start, especially at the local level. about starting to make a difference. And I mean, at the higher levels, it's a little harder to do that, but most of your trustees and clerks and treasurer and supervisors, they run unopposed. So there are ways to start having people within a community start to step up and go, we want to see some changes and start running for some of those positions. We need to absolutely oppose this, um, this partisan crap that's going on at every level, because this is, this is a real problem. It is. I mean, in the school district, yeah, Michigan passes that for the board. Um, It will eliminate anybody that's not willing to do that. It also, instead of us hiring or not hiring, but electing, I'm sorry, the hiring was a slip there. Well, it should be hiring, but that's not what we created as you know. So, but I mean, instead of trying to pick a side, which is what they have us doing, it would be much better if we just pick the best qualified person for a position. Right. And that way you're not having to have this allegiance. So, yeah, but that would take a lot to change Michigan laws to get rid of our straight ticket voting. And, yeah, but that would be another discussion on the whole election process. Yeah, we have a lot of room for improvement here. I'll give you that. So, yeah, so part of this whole journey has been to figure out how to educate myself and as many people as I can bring along through the years. There are some that have been with us since the beginning and we keep adding new people of they'll see something and get curious and ask a few more. So a few more questions, but I would just tell people start attending meetings. I mean, you can do school board, you can do township city commissioners, any of those meetings. And then there's other ones like the state. I mean, I've been down to Lansing a few times for the state board of education. So you just sit and listen to all these things. and pick up little bits and pieces. And it's fun for me because I like to watch a room to see who's interacting with who and who looks at who and all that, because that tells you a lot about what's going on possibly behind the scenes as well. There's structures and groups of people that work together, not for our best interest. Right. Yeah. We thought they were. I mean, that was the way I always thought, well, we're electing people that are going to take care of us more or less and do the right thing for us. And you get in and you find out there are good people out there still. It's not that everybody in elected positions is bad, but there are some that need to be educated a little more on how to do their jobs well for the people. And we did have one school board candidate at a forum that made the comment. He goes, once you elect us, your job is done. And that is the kind of concept you go, maybe too many of them think like that. And that's why they ignore us during public comment at school boards. And they don't feel the need to engage with us because they view us as irrelevant once they get in that seat. And it's unfortunate. I would hope there aren't a lot of school board members like that. But what I see on the internet tells me there are more than we would like. Um, so, so yeah, so talking to a current person that's on one of these committees, um, positions, and there are tons of subcommittees that, um, like the board of review, those are appointed positions. So you have your elected positions. Like I said, I think there's like three hundred and twenty five or something in our county that are elected through that process. But then you have all of the commissions and committees that are appointed that, that was something I learned too, sitting in the commissioner meetings is that they are only supposed to, individuals are only supposed to be on those appointments for two cycles. And then they're supposed to be replaced. Well, I found out that they set aside one of their rules, that rule, so that people can continue and they say, well, it's because nobody volunteered to do it. Hmm. So again, this is another place where people that want to become active, go out and look at your city and your County website, look at all the different, I mean, there's a long list of commissions and groups start attending their meetings, go find out what they're all about. What do you need to do to get appointed to those? So there's plenty of opportunity if people are willing to make the commitment and it is a time commitment. And, um, As you know, none of this is free. So sometimes these are unpaid positions or nominally paid. So it really is a true heart for serving the people that you step into these roles and to help the community. So as we get more people with integrity and character to do the right thing, it will start to change how this looks in our communities. That's the most truest statement right there is that it takes good people who are willing to see it as their civic duty to step forward and say, I want to leave this nation or our community better for my kids, my grandkids, the people around me that I see every day than what it's devolved into. And get up and stop the stop the criminality stop the things that we see that are wrong and really thinking about what is it that we love about the United States, or that we want to see this be built into we can change it. We absolutely can change the things that we dislike, but to do that means. we're going to have to get in there and help lift the weight. If we leave it to somebody else, it's too easy for evil to sneak into the cracks. Even if there's a good group of people, we need to keep going at it. You can't walk away from it or it devolves into a worse form than what we've been handed. Right. And as you learn how to do that, you can step in and feel more informed and so that you can go in and challenge even the existing group of people that are on there. I know it's interesting that like the whole board comes up for election at one time in townships. So you have the potential to flip a whole board if you wanted to with a group of people in the community, or at least some portion of it. Whereas like school boards, they rotate their members in and out. So you might have two or three in a given year, maybe four, but that's always part of it stays and part of it changes. Commissioners, they all go out at one time. That moved, I don't know how many people know that used to be a two-year position, which basically meant they barely quit campaigning, got their job and started campaigning again. So now it's a four-year position. So it has a little more continuity to it, but Otherwise, like you were mentioning before, the amount of money that goes into election cycles is just crazy. And the amount of money, and that's been one of the things I've talked to my group about from the beginning, is it really is just a way for the everyday person to chip in five, ten bucks, twenty bucks or whatever to feel like they did something, not realizing there's like tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands and millions being used to manipulate the elections. So basically I feel like it's just a way to further steal money from the everyday person because they want to feel like they're doing something when in reality, they're not going to change too many elections. Not through money. That's why educating, talking to the public, door knocking, that was the way we did some stuff locally. And we, and then there are other things like a bond campaign where you've got twenty two thousand households of voters. Well, that's almost impossible to do a door knocking campaign if you're a small group. So that's why we chose the mass mailing option, because then we could get to all those houses. Because when you're knocking doors, you have to use somebody's application and tell them whose door you knocked. And so then the other people are collecting data and I don't like being involved in all of that. So instead we just did the mass mailing so that we could get to every voter's household and let them decide then. And educating people is important because that's one of our goals is that the people perish without knowledge and Hosea is kind of one of our themes is if we can help educate the public, we have a better chance of changing the public and, um, and hopefully changing it for the better. And I think there are things that we've done that have improved the qualities in different areas and there are others still learning and willing to work with us. So we keep working with those that are willing to work with us. Um, so we see what we can do, but yeah, I, uh, One of the other things is check out the websites, whether it's your township or whatever, and see what's out there. There's a lot of stuff hidden behind your school districts. They have so many links to go to so many different areas, but if you want to go check their attendance, check their history, check their academics, check their finances, there are links on the websites to get to that information. And it's just a way that we've, self-educated on this. I mean, you hear some stuff and the agenda packets for the school boards is really critical because it has a lot of information you're not going to find on their website, just wandering through. And that's one reason I felt so strongly about it and why I ended up filing the lawsuit is because I think that's critical information that the public should have. And there are some townships that put that online before meetings. Ours does not, we haven't got to that level yet, but, uh, we keep trying to step things up and depending how far off you are from optimal, it can take several years to start to make the changes. And, um, You have to stay in the fight. I mean, that's, that's the deal that, like you said, you have to stay in the fight. You can't just walk away from it and think, well, I've spent my five minutes. Yep. Now it is a long process. And the more you learn, the more you can help the others to learn if they're willing. We have found some are willing and some have no interest in what we have learned. So we work with those that are willing to work with us and those that aren't, we try to either figure out how to work around them or find a different approach. And then if you can't find what you're looking for, then you use the FOIA as an option. to get additional information that should be available to the public. And sometimes the first time you ask for something, they give you not what you want. So you have to ask again. And sometimes they say, you don't need that data. And it's like, no, it's public information. I have a right to that data. So sometimes you have to kind of go at it a few times to get to what you're looking for. And then teaching others along the way. I mean, that's been, My goal from the start of this was to, I have a group, we call ourselves Midland Integrity Team, because that's what we're trying to build in this community is to try to build some integrity and character that makes it so people will trust the organizations that are out there and the people we elected. So that has been one of my goals. And I feel like we're making headway. Yeah, I think so. You've got a lot of great people that are on this working together. It goes back to, you know, you can change so much if people just unite and decide they have a common purpose and work together on it. And it's amazing, you know. I think that's what we need to do as a whole nation is we need to come together. And I'm not talking for commerce or collectivism, but it's for things that we treasure and that we're fighting for. So it's a perfect process. Absolutely. And local does make a difference because it's the smallest part of all of that to start working with. It's supposed to be the most impactful part of our government. But for some reason, they kind of inverted things a little bit here. So we need to take it back. To me, I look at that and I say it's kind of a satanic system because the Satanists and the satanic system always inferts things. Evil always inverts it. They'll tell you, oh, no, this is good. Even when you know in your heart it's bad. And then they try to justify things. So it's unfortunate. But the pattern repeats. It's pretty easy to see that. We've seen quite a few patterns in the last five years that... some we like and some we have to try to help encourage change. Yeah, we sure have, haven't we? This has been quite a time to be alive. We didn't know that all the stuff we didn't know. No, we didn't know the whole trans, you know, the trans thing that, you know, a lot of the people that we think are women are actually men and, and vice versa. And, you know, the things that you go, Oh, okay. I didn't know that that was going on too. further an agenda and such. And, and, uh, you know, there's many people out there that have put out videos against this identity theft. It's an identity theft thing, you know, not only, I don't, I don't know. I mean, it's a, it's a pro it's a problem. It's a large problem. So, well, there are certainly many layers to a lot of topics that I didn't know. years ago. This has been part of my journey. So as you say, I know God calls us to different things at different times in our lives. And this is certainly not anything when Joe and I got married. Fourteen years ago, this was not on our radar to spend five years doing this, but it's what we were gifted to do, I believe, and he's called us to do it. So we're trying to be as faithful as we can to create a legacy that will make a difference in our community. Well, getting in the fight and staying in it is how you move things. You know, you don't build something in a day. Typically, you've got to stay with it for quite a long period of time. Well, this is great. And I really appreciate you bringing up the Leadership Institute and Chris Ann Hall's I should text her. I should text her and see if I can get her on. I actually have her cell phone. So, so she was going to come on before and I wasn't able to get her on because she had all of a sudden, suddenly she was called away suddenly, which it was a legit thing, but we weren't able to get her back on again. So we'll see. I'll see if I can give her a call and that would be fun to get her on. Wouldn't it? Oh yeah. She has, she has a lot of information to share. She sure does. And if you want to get the good information, listen to Chris Ann Hall. She's amazing. All right. Well, is there anything else you want to close with here? And then we'll go to prayers and go on to our day. I think at this point that covers kind of today's topics that I was looking at doing. And I heard you say you were going to be on vacation for a couple of weeks. Well, I wouldn't exactly call it vacation. I don't really like to take vacation, but I got called away to D.C. and some other things that need some immediate attention. So I've got about three trips that I have to take for important reasons. You know, it's like when I'm here, it's great. We're all educating. We're talking. But sometimes when I'm not here, it's sometimes more important than sitting here because I'm also gathering information and doing other things. Right. Yeah. So I'm on the same team doing the same thing, you know, fighting for the same team, but doing other things that are required to happen in order for us to take the nation back. So I'm just, whatever I'm called to, I usually say yes. And as long as it's ethical, honest, and will fit within my purview of what's the right thing to do. I'll never lie for anyone. In fact, if somebody threatens me, I typically throw it out for that person threatened me. And this is what happened. I will do that. So and I think that's that's something we talk to a person I know who is under a little bit of of coercion right now and is a younger person. And I said to them, I said, remember this. It may seem like the right thing to do to hide or not say anything. It's always the wrong thing to do. If somebody is threatening you, using coercion, threat or duress, you have to rat them out because it's not okay. It's not okay for a person to abuse you or to do something that hurts you. If they do that, run right to the biggest megaphone you can find, microphone, and you shout it out there because somebody will come to your help. They'll come to your aid. You don't have to live that way. And there's a lot of good people that will step up to defend you as long as they know what's going on. But you got to be loud and you got to continue to get louder until the bad people are thrown out in the spotlight, you know, and dark to light. We got to continue to bring things from the dark to the light so that people know. How are they going to know if we don't say something? Right. And the thing is, they can come and talk to us about things going on or something that they're aware of. And we can't do much about it. We're hearsay. We're not the person that heard it firsthand. And so we need them to be able to stand up. And I have found over the years that that is very difficult, especially for people elected in positions that there's something that controls them that they will not step out and be honest with the community, even when they know something is blatantly wrong that's happening. Isn't that amazing? Isn't that amazing? It's like, I'd like to see exactly what's, what's running behind the scenes and how it's running. You know, we get glimpses of it and that sort of thing, but I think the whole thing should be just thrown out there for everyone to see, to see who's, who's been blackmailed, who's had a, you know, a gun put to their kid's head or that sort of thing. Cause it's happening. That blackmail is happening. And who's involved in it? Who's pulling the strings? I have pretty good idea. I know the answer to that. You know who the puppet masters are? Pretty good idea. And it's just a matter of time before all of them are thrown out in the open and they're probably going to be dealt with for the treason and their crimes against humanity that they've committed. So, and I hope to be part of that. Well, I know accountability is something I think many of us are waiting Patient lady. Yeah, we're seeking that accountability. So, all right. Well, that's great. So thank you. I appreciate you putting this all together. You're very thorough and the sources you bring are wonderful. And I appreciate you, you know, all the work you've put into this over the years. And I'm sure sometimes it felt like it was nobody paid attention or tireless. I know Vicki was under that too. And that's what I strive to do is bring people a way to get their voices out there and help educate people and get people to say, come on, don't sit back and wait for somebody else to do this. You've got to get in the game. You've got to fight. If you lay down right now, you're not you're going to get walked over and trampled. You've got to get up. Keep going. We're in a war. Keep going. Keep fighting. And that's the way we win. So would you like to say the prayer today? Sure. That's great. Love it. Dear Heavenly Father, we just thank you for this opportunity to share with others, to help encourage others to get involved, to become educated so that they can make a difference in their communities as well. Just thank you for all those that have been standing strong and holding the line to make a difference. And we just pray that you would give us the wisdom and discernment we need to keep moving forward. Help us to be bold and courageous for you. And we just pray that we would have a good day and week ahead in Jesus' name. Amen. Thank you. That was wonderful. I love that. So I actually, I love praying. I love prayer, you know, and just When God tells us to pray continuously as you go about your day, just, you know, you think of something and say, well, God, what do you think of that? You know, or how to handle that in such a way. You know, it's I know it's stressful for a lot of people to pray and pray out loud. It's for a lot of people. It's very. But once you practice that, it becomes very easy to do. So I loved that you prayed today. So anyhow, boys and girls, this is where we go to that part of the show. Ding, ding, ding, ding. Go to brandoverforgovernor.com because I'm the best non-conceiver who has ever not conceded in the history of the United States of America. And I'd like you to do a discussion with the rightful president of the United States, President Donald J. Trump. We're in cowboy boots. We'll see who wears better. It's going to be me because I wear them every day. And then we'll go ahead and fix things and have discussions with Renita and Vicki and everybody else out there. Pull the whole team in of actual fighters. and then fix this stuff. So with that said, everybody have a great day today. I plan on seeing you tomorrow. And then we'll see after tomorrow, how many days I'm going to be on from now to the fourth, because I think it's probably going to be pretty limited. And so I've got, I've got a lot of things that I have to work on and I want to be able to be in the game to do the things that, that count. And this does take quite a bit of work. It takes me about, it takes me time to set it up. It takes me time to talk to the guests and, and get everybody lined up and that sort of thing. And it takes time to archive it, make sure it's everywhere, promote it. It's a lot of work. It looks a lot, it's a lot more work than the, you know, two or three hours that you see me on camera. And so, and the same thing with everybody that joins in. It's a tremendous act of love and grace for everyone out there, from everyone that shows up here to talk and tell what they know. And so I appreciate you guys passing this on. for helping us get the word out and for standing with us. And I'd like to encourage everybody to get a hold of me because I'm the chairman of the U.S. Taxpayers Party, which is the Michigan affiliate of the National Constitution Party, because I'm trying to seat with county committees every single county across the state of Michigan and recruit candidates. We need to replace all of them. OK, that's it. We got to replace all of them with everyday Americans if we want to have it go in the favor of everyday Americans. So with that said, God bless you all. God bless all those whom you love and God bless America. Make it a great day. Do the work that needs to be done. Get out there and do the things that we love to do and make this country into what we love. And thanks for being on and stay on the line. I'm going to end it. Thank you.
