9am Karen the Riveter 10am John Ballance 9am Karen the Riveter - News and Encouragement 10am John Ballance -John Ballance - We will be discussing a transfer of wealth to elites, risks to the dollar’s status, and threats to future generations, urging proactive solutions over reactive bailouts or unconstitutional measures, highlighting perceived media blackouts and political indifference. Note, John Ballance is not a Certified Financial Advisor. He is a normal guy with interests in this topic. Everything he will be discussing today is both researchable and formed opinion. Market strategies Plausible direction of US Financial reality Fed accountability Financial stability Congressional oversight Economic sovereignty Post the Silicone Valley Bank collapse John C. Ballance, a concerned constituent, wrote this follow-up letter to Sean Brady (Chief of Staff for Rep. Vern Buchanan, Vice chair of the Ways & Means Committee) expressing deep alarm over U.S. monetary policy, Federal Reserve actions, and lack of congressional oversight. Some of his research uncovered the following: - A 2019 Fed emergency repo loans ($4.5 trillion) that bailed out major U.S. and foreign banks (e.g., JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Barclays, BNP Paribas) without transparency or congressional involvement. - During the Biden Regime, the Federal Resrve carried an abnormally high Reverse Repo Facility usage (peaking at $2.55T). This represented hidden liquidity support propping up markets and banks amid rising debt and risks. John is critical of “self-regulated” banking/Wall Street, taxpayer-funded bailouts (including foreign entities), and investments like Sequoia Capital’s in China. John has been discussing how an impending liquidity crisis triggered by higher rates, program endings (e.g., Bank Term Funding), and Basel III, potentially leading to bank failures, Treasury bond rejection, or dollar collapse could possibly enable the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) under emergency pretexts. John Calls for fiscal responsibility: spending cuts, ending foreign aid (Ukraine, Israel), and greater congressional accountability. He urges everyone to prepare for economic shocks and criticizes politicians, including Buchanan, for inaction. John Ballance is just a normal Joe. He spent 30 years in Corporate America in progressing roles of responsibility, beginning in Sales and ending up in Corporate Finance and Trade Management. He helped National Brands at The Dial Corporation and Kimberly Clark spend their trade dollars efficiently. He invested well throughout his career and is now retired and spends a lot of his time trying to better understand our financial markets. He does not have any certifications in Financial Planning, however his in-depth analysis are part of the intrigue of the Financial markets. After he retired, he spent about six months trying to better understand the Federal Reserve. This helped guide him to where he is today.

Good morning and welcome to Brandenburg News Network. I am Donna Brandenburg. Twentieth day of May twenty twenty six and welcome to our show. Today we have Karen the Riveter on at nine o'clock and at ten o'clock. John Balance. We have breaking news coming and Stephanie Lambert was going to be on at eleven o'clock. But we she ended up getting called into something that's more important than being right here right now. I think she's going to be on tomorrow, and it's going to be amazing because this thing is absolutely going like a freight train. I think everybody's going to be pretty excited when they hear the result. There's a few things that we can talk about. about that. But there's some things I can't talk about today. But tomorrow, I think you're going to get the whole story. So I'm okay. I'm absolutely okay with waiting until Stephanie can get on tomorrow to give us the whole story. Morning, Karen. How you doing? Morning. Well, that's a teaser for you. I tell you what, I had to switch gears so fast this morning. And because of the developments that are happening, I'm not kidding you. The developments are happening very quickly. The one thing that I do know, hang on a second, let me see if I can bring something up here a minute. I might be able to give you, I've got a recording that I was able to obtain. And it is... Shocking doesn't even begin to tell you what it is, but it has to do with Maduro. So after Maduro was picked up, he started spilling the beans on what happened concerning Dominion, the Dominion machines, Dominion elections, right? The elections. And they asked him, you got to have proof. You can't just tell us that. Well, guess what? His proof is in his bookkeeper. And yesterday they unsealed an indictment. And this indictment is proving beyond a shadow of a doubt. The, how do I say this? The involvement of Venezuela, who owns thirty percent of Dominion and our elections and the fact that Alex Saab was arrested and that. Things are moving fast track. So what I can tell you is that we're going to see some huge things in our elections and there's more to it. And the reason why she got called away today was even more important. So I'm pretty excited. I can read you a little bit. Alex Saab is a Colombian Venezuelan businessman long described by U.S. officials as the key bag man or financial fixer for Maduro. So he has faced long-standing US accusations of money laundering tied to corruption in Venezuela, including diverting funds from food campaigns there. And so Saab was arrested in Venezuela early February, in a joint US Venezuelan operation and then deported to the United States. He faced new money laundering charges in federal court in Miami. And this follows his earlier detention in twenty twenty in Cape Verde, extradited to the United States in a prisoner swap release in twenty twenty three under the Biden administration. So what this means is that for all you happy campers out there who have wanted to see and I have to I'm not I'm not saying that I haven't wanted to see it because, you know, There's no two ways about it. I think I have less tolerance for bad guys than anybody probably on the planet, right? And where this is going is going to rock the world and shake the elections and prove that all of us who have said that we have complete and utter cheating, fraud, foreign involvement in our elections that in twenty twenty, I think we've got enough between that and the criminal conviction that came down on the twenty two election where I was removed as governor candidate through fraudulent actions. And you know what those fraudulent actions I and I interjected this into the into the evidence when I was giving a statement and I was at the hearings and I was able to speak and talk about things, but the state of Michigan was involved in this. There's no two ways about it. And in twenty twenty two, it was a signature gathers. Yes, but it's also the state of Michigan. They're all protecting themselves. And the great thing is, is like I'm the first person witness to this. And so to be able to talk about it and tell everybody what happened, this is this is really amazing. So anyhow, We're planning on having Stephanie on tomorrow. We're also going to have Civic Chain, which is moving the United States government onto the blockchain. So I think that's going to kind of get rid of the whole nonsense in the compromise FOIA framework. foia system because you'll be able to go and just go to the blockchain and get what you need not having to pay things or or go through filing through the state or any of that and i got i got to tell you that we're seeing so many things happen and it's quick every single day I'm hearing more and more. And I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that God himself is behind this. There are a lot of moving pieces going on right now as an encouragement to everybody. Because, of course, everybody wants to see what's happening, where things are going and what's happening. And I can tell you it's happening. We just got to be a little bit patient right now. And I think we're going to be able to see this whole corrupt network unraveling. President Trump is, is literally bringing down a multinational, a transnational crime syndicate. And it's, I also think he's vetting people. They're letting people make choices just like they did with the vaccination, the facts. Yeah. that I've had a lot of discussions with other people and I keep going back to the fact that God lets us make choices. And I think President Trump and the good guys did the same thing. They probably couldn't stop it, but they could let people know through roundabout ways by educating people and such that we got to get them all, first of all, but, and I don't know, this is just my own opinion, but my opinion is, is that we're being vetted right now to see who's going to stand to the end or who's going to sit there and cry like a little whiny baby and not get in our way when we want to see you rest right now, you know, that sort of thing. Well, the reality is, is I want to see them get every last person from the top all the way to the townships, all the way to the people that have sold out this nation by selling perhaps their property to the Chinese and or whatever else that they've done to sell out the country. I want to see them get them all. Last weekend, I was in Philadelphia. So you and I haven't got a chance to catch up on this, but I'm going to let you know what's kind of happening. Okay. Last weekend, I was at the National Constitution Party Convention because I am the chair of the party in Michigan. I'm going to tell you what. People are awake and they are flocking to us, to our Constitution Party in Michigan, which is the U.S. Taxpayers Party. The state will not allow us to change our name to match the national party because they don't want to see us get any traction. It is intentional subversion. and violation of our rights to be able to freely associate. Thank you so much. Not Jocelyn Benson. Well, anyhow, the highlight of my trip out there was we did a tour of, you know, to Valley Forge. And I see, and we went to Independence Hall and I was able to get in there with a friend of mine, David Gilley and Lillian Gilley. They got us in outside of public hours and we were able to recite the Declaration of Independence there and have it taped. It was really cool. It was a very amazing, it was just absolutely amazing. And I absolutely forgot what I was going to tell you about, but I'll get it back here with the Constitution Party. But there is so much going on right now. The shift in where people's attentions are has become very evident that we've done a pretty good job of waking people up. People are sick of it. And last Monday night, I was in St. Clair. St. Clair County just set up a county committee. We have four of them that are newly affiliated across the state. People are running to us because they realize that the Uniparty is a lie. It is an absolute lie. We are not going to get honest people into the Republican Party or the Democrat Party. And another bit of breaking news that I can give you that came to me yesterday. Where do you think the automatic voter registration fraud that has gone through the Secretary of State came from? Okay, I hear you all out there because I know what the popular opinion is, that it's the Democrats that did that. It wasn't. It was started by who? The Republicans. So before you jump on the bandwagon of this, and I'm going to bring you proof of that because we have proof with another guest. I don't want you to believe me. I want you to do your research. I want you to say, oh, that Brian and Mark, she's full of crap. Huh? Guess what? We're going to bring their seats and I can prove to you that it wasn't the Democrats that did it. It was the Republicans that put that in place. And so I think it's going to be very interesting for everybody to see how this uniparty has worked together to tear down the United States all the way from the links to Maduro to the indictments and the sealed indictment that was opened by pretty much yesterday, I think. And the Dominion fraud, I could say it because thirty percent of Dominion is was owned by or is owned by Venezuela that's foreign. That's a foreign nation who is basically in charge of our elections. So of course they're going to rig it because what was going on in Venezuela, they wanted to take the United States and turn it into a banana Republic here where there was no, there was no order. There was no law and order. So with all these moving parts, I think we're going to see more arrests, probably more that are out there. And also, over the weekend, it came to light. I've been saying it for a long time because I've been talking to people who work behind the scenes that there have been ongoing elections and indictments and such. We can prove now that there are four grand juries that were seated in Florida. If you don't think that something's going on right now or this is being righted to anybody out there, pray to God for eyes to see it because it's happening and it's happening in a beautiful way. And we can all be proud of all the good guys behind the scenes that have worked tirelessly without any recognition. To see that the United States is restored to the gloriousness of a constitutional republic, giving it back to we the people. President Trump said it. Don't turn your back on him. He's pretty much always been right, even though sometimes it looks like, what is he doing? I mean, I do that, too. I'm like, what what is he doing? But then I go back. God's in charge. He has been right every single time. He's restoring the gas and the petroleum independence to the United States by cutting off the supply lines. Oh no, gas is six dollars a gallon. Boo hoo, guess what? We all got into this together by allowing it to happen. We're all going to get out of this together, and there's going to be a little pain for all of us, but it is worth it. In the end, if we can stop this satanic, multinational, transnational crime syndicate who is guilty of every disgusting, deplorable crime on the planet, we will have our country back. But it's not going to come without a little bit of discomfort. And I don't know about you, but discomfort is worth it. And I'll tell you, you know, people see me go into all of these events and such. You see the front face of this. You're not seeing the difficulties behind the scenes. and what's happening behind the scenes or our travel and how, how non-ideal it is sometimes. And I can tell you this weekend was a little non-ideal this past weekend. It was, it was a tough, it was tough weekend, but Earlene and I were there and we were, we came to the conclusion that no matter what difficulties, no matter how, unusual or difficult the circumstances, it's worth it. Oh, I know what I was going to say about Valley Forge. What really came out to me when I was at Valley Forge was the difficulties that all of these people went through in order to fight for this nation. The conditions at Valley Forge were absolutely brutal, terrible. Valley Forge was the fourth largest city in the colonies of at that time with twelve thousand people in an encampment. They had no supplies. They landed there at Valley Forge on their track. No shelter. No, nothing. And they dragged behind behind them came their wives and their children. So the men, real men, got to work cutting down trees, making shelter, getting food supplies, you know, getting food arranged, trying to get the ability to bake for twelve. I want you to think about this. Twelve thousand people were there. it's a very large area it really is it was really it was a very interesting interesting tour but what i saw is how they laid out how they really survived it was survival in a crisis and that's exactly what we're going to be facing here so i think everybody better better buckle up suck it up and be ready to do what perhaps wouldn't be our choice to do, but what has to be done in order to write this nation, the ball's already rolling. We've already won, but now, what's it going to look like when the system come crashing down and we have to get tough, not whiny, not sobby and get to work, putting this back, this whole thing back together, because that's kind of what was going to happen. And we may not have the tools. We may not have the facilities. We may be dragged through the dirt a little bit. We already kind of have been, but not, not in a physical way. We may have some tough road ahead of us. But the main thing is, is that we just need to rely on God and to ask him, give us the strength to walk the path that you have ahead of us. Not asking for an easy path. I'm asking and we're asking for a righteous, virtuous path. Under God, as we unite under God, we've got to work with people we may not like, we may not agree with, but we're going to have to get this thing figured out if we want to survive and thrive as a nation, the world, one people under God. There you go. So I yield. First of all, I'm going to say that I feel encouraged that you're saying so many people are coming to the Constitution Party because it means they recognize that the Republican Party is not what they thought it was. And I've been pushing really hard on that. I'm on Telegram lately because I keep seeing signs of it. And I noticed recently Trump has started posting Democrats, D-U-M-O. And when he shifts gears like that, I mean, he said it maybe from time to time. He's doing it a lot lately. And you would think he's pushing people into being divisive. But if you really think about it, what's he trying to do by spelling it that way? He's trying to test people, I think. Are you going to give him some pushback and say, well, it's not just the Democrats, Trump? Because I think he likes it when people give him pushback in the right direction. You're absolutely right. Sometimes he prompts that way to test the public response. I'd give it right back at him. And you know, you're, you're head of that party, Trump. What are you going to do to knock it down, destroy it, change it all, change the whole system. And he can't, of course he can't do that. He can't do it from where he sits. So he has to let you figure it out. He could actually, because, and I'm going to make this really simple for, for people because somebody asked me the other day, well, how do you know if somebody's good or bad? Well, actually, that's a little bit easier to determine than anything. If you get rid of the labels and you look at what's lawful instead of their pretended legislation. I don't understand how that is such a hard choice. It should be an easy choice to make. But I understand where we've had so much brainwashing done. Well, you know, it's got to be fair. No, it doesn't. And we are created equal under God, but are we gonna let a criminal out over and over again who is going to hurt or violate somebody's rights? And in the conversation that came up was, did you see the video of this older guy that was pushed down the stairs in a subway in New York? The guy that pushed him down the stairs was just released for doing another violent crime. And the man died. So a person that could have testified against him said, well, I don't want to have another Black man in jail. Oh, man. That is a stupid person. And you know what that is? That's a racist person because they see color. They see race. A person who is not a racist doesn't see race and doesn't give advantage for an action outside of the law. So like if we had the blind scales of justice, which we're supposed to have, we wouldn't look at color. We wouldn't look at gender. We wouldn't look at any of that. It would be literally blind. You come to the table, you're blind, you don't see the differences, and you stick to the law. It's pretty easy. This man, not a black man, this man pushed another man down the stairs and he died as a result of it. It was intentional. He intentionally pushed this man down the stairs. That right there was intentional. to commit bodily harm. And now this man died. So do we just say, oh, he didn't mean it. He's fine. We're going to let this go. Or are we going to say one man intentionally harmed another and his death resulted from it? Pretty easy. He's guilty. And it's all caught on camera. But we've got all these attorneys who want to justify it and turn everything in a game. I got a win for my client because this is a game and we don't care about individual people's rights. Had this man, not black man, had this man been convicted of his, well, he was convicted. Had he not been released, but he had to serve, serve the, um, the, uh, Justice, or I can't think of the word I'm looking for right now. Had he served for the crime committed before, this other man would be alive. So now we've traded out the rights and said, it's okay. Everybody can step on somebody else's rights because there is no because. We don't, and we are not enabled. to step on each other's rights. That's what this country was founded on, not a pity party. And that whole thing led into another discussion about who has committed a crime and why are we being blamed or anybody being blamed for the crimes that somebody else we didn't even know who were dead before we were born did. Why are we being blamed for this? The first slave owner in America was, I believe, a black person, a black man. There were more people who were of Caucasian or white or Middle Eastern that were enslaved in North Africa than anybody wants to acknowledge. Look at what happened to the Irish, right? I'm part Irish, not all Irish, thank God, because they're kind of, They're more ornery than I am sometimes, which isn't a bad thing, you know? But, you know what I mean? Are you being racist against Irish? I'm not being racist against Irish. It's a demographic. I'm only part Irish. I'm part, like, almost everything. This is called full-blood mutt, right? Or full-blood Noah Beck. I'm Noah Beck. Because go back to Noah, we're all related. Stop being stupid, people. So, anyhow, you know, to look at this... and really make a good assessment they have taken race gender associations whatever it is and try to put us all into pigeonhole cubbyholes and say well they're all like that is that not the most racist thing that you've ever heard there's a really good movie i i want to say it's lincoln it's matthew mcconaughey And a black man, his daughter gets grabbed by some white boys, young men, and heavily abused, raped, raped. They tried to kill her by hanging, failed, threw her in a creek, raped her, tried to kill her, left her for dead. And the black man assaulted, I think he killed one of them. one of the young men in the court because they weren't going to get convicted for it. So now he needs a lawyer, and here comes Matthew McConaughey. The whole community is like, why are you taking this case? You're stupid. He's never going to win. He's a black man. Everybody saw him do it. It's obvious. Well, at the end of his attempt to defend this man, I mean, his wife had to leave town. A lot of bad things happened. um he's telling a story about what happened to little girl and during the whole movie you don't hear the whole story he tells the story point blank to the jury but first he asked them to close their eyes and visualize it and so he's telling step by step what had happened to this little girl and then at the very end he's choked up he's holding back tears as best he can but failing he squeaks out to the jury now i met now imagine she's white and they open their eyes and there's a like this gasp in the whole place because everybody's imagined her being the little girl that the you know the black man's little girl she's black in the story of course she is and he pointed out to them well as you said you shouldn't see color She's a white girl, she's a black girl, and she's a little girl. And it doesn't make any difference. And he called the jury out, in a sense, by doing it that way. So that particular moment in that particular movie was very weighty in that concept of examining yourself and how you see color. So I was imagining that while you're talking about not seeing color And in the court system, that's tough. It's like trying to find a jury. We've talked about it before, how they try to find a jury that's not connected in any way to the defense or anybody really in the case. And well, if you've been convicted, if you know somebody who had a sexual crime where you or somebody else has been abused, that they don't want you on a jury for someone who they're charging with a criminal sexual conduct. So they did all that with the jury that I was on and two people slipped in. They did not confess any knowledge of things like that. And it weighed on the jury. It was fantastic, though. It was important for us to consider those things. So I'm glad it happened that way. But a lot of people got dismissed because a lot of people had had experiences or knew someone who did or lied about it. so they didn't have to be in court. But a jurist should be able to see blindly with this. Your personal experience does come into play. That's why we have a jury of a number of people and why we talk about the case when you're finally released to talk about it with the fellow juror members. Because when we did that in this case, What other people pulled out of the same testimony, um, was different than my perspective, but it fed into the overall view. It was more informative to hear the different perspectives and, oh, I forgot about that fact, even though I was sitting there taking notes. As a jurist, you've got to be able to pay attention and serve objectively, and it's really not that easy to do, but that's the chore. And so as we're watching this country transform, You know, some of the ignorance, like the person saying, well, it's OK, we should just let him go because he's black. That's that's foolishness. And I hope that kind of foolishness doesn't end up on a jury. But you've got to filter through people, don't you? And I see that happening a lot right now, too. I know you do. And like you mentioned with Stephanie Lambert. and watch the judge basically rig the trial that was going on this hearing by giving and establishing what he was going to give his instructions. And I was sitting there going, how can he possibly tell? Well, you can only use this law in this. Who is he to say that? And so when you come to jury nullification, because our population is so educated, they don't even know what that means. You can go in there and tell the judge basically pound sand. We can do whatever we want. We're going to hand down a pure. our peer decision without being instructed on what we have to limit that to be applied by the law. It's insane. So he's basically saying, well, they're guilty. This is the law you have to use to whatever. They're innocent because they all have an agenda. And when you have the judges as activist judges who are definitely, I mean, our country is basically infiltrated by activist judges who are there to get a specific outcome. Their campaigns were being funded by, say, Soros or whoever else wants to buy the seat because that's what they're doing. When you listen to, say, Perry Johnson talk, he and I've had two separate people confirm this to me, came out and said, I'm going to spend two hundred million dollars and buy the seat. Wow. Really? And what is behind him? ISO? Regulation? Think you're going to get a smart guy in there? Smart enough to outsmart the people that think that he is going to just work for him. He's working to put more regulation because that's how he's gotten paid. It's absolutely absurd what's going on here. So let me put this to you this way. The way that the Republican Party, which there's a lot of people that watch this and watch everything who are quasi Republicans. I don't think there's that many people that are, you know, in the Republican Party, except the ones that are getting paid from the illegal acceptance of dark money and foreign money. So they're right off the bat. They're guilty. Right. But if you think about it, if. This election rigging had been done, and I'm going to use your example with the black girl, white girl that was presented to the jury, right? So you all are the jury right now. In this court of law, we're going to convene it right now, sort of, kind of, you know, a pseudo one. But if the Communist Party of America had done the actions that the Republican Party has done, oh, would the conservatives come out rabid on fire against them? But if it's their own party, well, you know, we got to win. We got to win. It's the same thing that the attorneys are doing. Guilty. You're guilty if you're doing that. And I'm going to go back to the fact that both parties, the Republican Party and the Democrat Party, are they are um they're guilty of standing against the united states of america they are absolutely guilty as sin because they've taken foreign money and anybody that stands with them is by virtue of the fact that they're standing with them they may you may not know it people may not know what they may think they're doing the right thing by listening to the talking points But if you stand with the Republican Party, you are guilty. They are harboring an enemy, foreign enemy, and domestic, really, and they're rigging the elections just because they've got to win. Then what? You know, that's the thing. I want people to see it from an outside-the-box perspective here. What are you winning? There is no win. You don't win. You don't win in the Republican Party because you're getting selected candidates. The actual people who want to do the right thing are not going to be elected. Maybe you'll see it in a township level. You know, or a school board or something. But most of the time, those people are not going to get through. They're getting selected right out. The delegates do not have a voice. Been there, done that. I know others who have tried it, and they see it. If their eyes are open, they see it. You're not representing anybody. I didn't go out to the community to find out what they wanted when I was a delegate. I was told what the people in the party wanted. Here's a slip for you to vote on. Say yes, and we'll all be happy. That's not how this is supposed to work. I shouldn't have to expect another representative to be between me And the selected. If I want to vote for somebody, I'll see them on the sheet, you know, when I get there. I shouldn't have to pick between some people that other people have decided on. Period. And if I have to pick between fifteen people, don't do it. In donations from DTE. Tell me how this makes sense to any of us. Tell me how These large corporate entities have the right to interject their will through dollars to candidates, through the lobbying process. This is organized crime. This is how it works. They're not working for us. They have no interest to work for us. And then we have Donna, who has gone through the system, experienced and shared multiple times the details of what this involves. If we didn't have you speaking up, we wouldn't have had anybody speaking up because I've never heard anybody else say it. So even those candidates who were removed from the ballot, just like you were. They didn't fight it in the way that you did, if they fought it at all. And one of them is running again. Are you kidding me? They're letting a guy that didn't fight it run again. He did not fight it, guys. Why is he even possibly on the ballot? He should be the first one they all heartily, a hundred percent reject. You didn't fight for a proper lawful system for yourself and your community, the people that allegedly backed you. If you're not going to do it at the start of an election, how can you possibly be expected to do it in the seat? and that comes down to the fact that we have to realize that why are we believing their talking points when they have lied over and over again and why are we surprised that they're lying even jesus jesus talked about it how you know people are liars there's very few people that i trust close to everything coming out of their mouths And quite honestly, one of the biggest reasons that I just go, uh-huh, well, well, well, let's listen to this. It doesn't make sense to me, but I'm going to look it up later and maybe I'll be surprised. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. But I will look into it because even good people can be fed bad information. So it may not even be their intention, just like the Republicans staying with the Republican Party. Their intention is to see those talking points and brought into our governance. Well, guess what guys? They're talking points. They lie. They lie a lot and they cover up their lies and they've got the judges helping them to cover up their lies and the prosecutors. And as I talked to Sheriff Mack this week, there's very few sheriffs that are following the law, very few. And that's the only constitutional office law enforcement office in the United States. So one other thing I wanted to tell you about the party of the taxpayers party, if you go to all of us, and I heard it at the national level, and I've heard it at the local level, we all believe that there needs to be an end of the party system, even and including all of them in our own, because it's a system that is absolutely set up to Determine who you can vote for. Now, with that said, being the chairman of the U.S. Taxpayers Party, which is the Constitution Party affiliate in Michigan, National Constitution Party, I made a bold statement this past week nationally. And the reason why I did it is because I could see the infiltration into the national party. There was one guy that came up and all he talked about, and he was obnoxious and annoying as I have ever seen a human being's behavior in a meeting. He felt like either a Democrat or Republican, that's honestly. But he stood up and he was pushing a Libertarian candidate when the question was asked, what have you done with the party? He launched into a ten minute a commercial for a guy that's running on the libertarian ticket. Well, I don't happen to know the guy he was talking about, and I think he would be a good choice, actually, for what he was looking at. He's a good man. But that wasn't the question. It was to detract and try to divide the people that were there to work for what we were there for, right? Got totally off base, and it was inappropriate, and he really owes the entire party an apology, in my opinion. Another another person literally came out and criticized the Pennsylvania state party for having tours involved in the weekend that we could go to or not go to I came a day early because I wanted to go to Valley Forge and he criticized him. And he was just very content contentious the whole the whole weekend and I stood up because I'll stand up and say something when everybody else sits down in his quiet and I said, I love the time that we have to bond because I can pick up the phone and call every single person in this room and have a conversation because I already know them enough to know about their kids, what they do, what's important to them. And that fosters the ability to have camaraderie when you actually care about people and not thumping your fist and saying, it's got to be my way because I'm so smart. That's the way that the politics works. If I had to do a character of a normal political person, the same as the attorneys, it's kind of the same thing. Then the last one that was clearly an infiltrator, he came in, he's got a Freemasonry pin on his lapel, and he starts talking about recruiting You know, being real proud, he he recruited the main Republican donor to come and help the party raise money. So, of course, I was asked to get up in front and talk because I put together quite a strategic and complex, but easy to to launch strategic plan for Michigan for from now until the elections. We've I've you know, we've automated everything. I've got five concurrent campaigns that will be running at the same time. We are seeding all of the counties across the state of Michigan. And it's not just sort of a trickle of rain. This is an explosion of people that are coming to. I'm on my phone all day long. It's incredible. And I just step in front of everybody. And I said, well, I said, we are differentiating ourselves because I have literally come right out and said we are not raising money. We are not going to have a fundraiser to have another fundraiser, to have another fundraiser, to have another fundraiser. So people can go to an endless gathering or party to drink the free coffee and eat the free cookies because no work gets done at any of this. It's just a way to move money around into the political arena. industry that they've created and they're all getting paid they're all getting paid around the outside just like the non-profits work they're not non-profit they just funnel money outside of the way that that can be taxed but most of people on the boards they're making money through a third or through a separate llc or corporation they they hire them through that that's what that's what's done So anyhow, I kind of deep-sixed it. I said, this is what we got here. We are not going to be earning or raising money in the state of Michigan. We're going to outperform them because no matter how much money that we can raise, if we raise millions, They can raise billions or more because they're printing the money and they can pull it out of thin air. They can get it from dark money sources. You know what I mean? So in our fiat currency that we have right now, it's real easy to rig things. in a financial way. So if we don't participate and we can get to the hearts of people in Michigan and say, we've got this thing laid out, all we got to do is outperform them. And most of what we have is automated. So all you got to do is the people work, get out and talk about the things that we believe in to take this nation back. We're not going to get any coverage on the news media because it's all fake news. And that's why Stephanie Lambert came to me and said, we want to break this news about Maduro, Venezuela and Dominion on BNN, because you tell the truth and you've always been consistent. I was like, wow, that's kind of a kind of an amazing compliment, but kind of sad at the same time, don't you think? Yeah. Yeah. But it is what it is. But anyhow. The National Party actually has written a resolution to separate from the tyranny of the Democratic and Republican parties. And we also have created the Declaration of Independence from the two-party system. And I think it's really brilliant what was put out there and what, I'm going to do a press release on this, of course, but I can read it to you if you want to hear it. It's pretty amazing. And it calls it out, having been in Independence Hall And in the signers are reading the Declaration of Independence. Guys, we are right there again. It's the same grievances. You have the same problems. And they are founders would be they would be in a kinetic war right now. I'm going to tell you that against those in power. Now, I think that the pen is mightier than the sword. We certainly don't want to ever go there. And I'm not in in encouraging anybody. to do anything other than spread the news. And we're going to kick them out because if we can all get elected in, just normal people, not political people, if you have virtue, you're qualified. We will help you with staying on the rails so that you don't avoid the future that everybody in the seats is going to have to face. They have committed treason. And with that comes short drop, sudden stop. I do believe that many have already been arrested and we're seeing a lot of CG. We're seeing body doubles. They can do it with silicone masks and the whole ten yards. But I do believe that we're in process and the music's playing. Nissan Dorma is playing. OK, they're getting the bad guys. Just be a little patient here. But it's us. We the people that have to step up if we want to have our be involved in self-governance. Who are they going to replace these people with? The political people, the regurgitated candidates who they just keep rerunning because they have name recognition and nobody's going to question a seven hundred thousand dollar donation or a million or two or three million dollar donation because people, ooh, the money, right? No, it's got to be you and me, the moms, the dads, the people that that would never make it into this uniparty system. So anyhow, you want to hear it, Karen? Sure, yeah. That's cool. Resolution to separate from the tyranny of the Democratic and Republican parties. Whereas the Democratic and Republican parties have manipulated the political systems in the United States and created a uniparty to gain and maintain power and control over the rights of the citizens to further their own agenda. Whereas the uniparty has pitted citizens against each other for the purposes of funding and political theater, disturbing the domestic tranquility of the nation. Whereas the Uniparty has consistently put the interests of corporate entities before the rights of the citizens. Whereas the Uniparty has made claims of owning our votes and has used psyops to indoctrinate the public into believing that voting for someone not approved by the Uniparty is wrong and harmful. Whereas the Uniparty no longer represents we the people nor protects our rights, be it resolved that the citizens and voters are and have the right to be free and independent in our voting. And we are absolved from all allegiance to the Uniparty and that all political connection between them and the citizens and voters of these United States is and ought to be totally dissolved to maintain our constitutional governance. Therefore, the Constitution Party calls on we the people to declare their independence by renouncing their loyalty to the Uniparty. I, Donna Brandenburg, right now am renouncing any allegiance, dedication to the Uniparty. It is a criminal system and it needs to be abolished. It is run by money and it's set against we, the people, and that's just the way it is. And I'm, I'm going to stand on that. There are good people in the Republican party, and this is where it goes back to having some discernment. You know, people are going, it's the Jews. It's the Palestinians. It's the, this is that stop it. There are good people in every entity. whether formal or informal or in everything that has a label that are trying to do the right thing. And this is the only way they see of getting out of a bad situation. But it doesn't mean everybody's bad. It means the systems, the core of the problem are the ones that need to be abolished. Yeah. Let me be clear about that. Now let's go into the Declaration of Independence from the two-party system. April, fifteen, twenty, twenty-six. the Declaration of Independence from the two-party system. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for the people of a nation to break free from the political structures that no longer serve them and to reclaim their rightful power as citizens, respect for the opinions of the nation demands that they explain why. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all people are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I know everybody's going to disagree with me on this. It's the right to property, but it kind of works, okay? That governments and the political systems that shape them exist to protect these rights, deriving their just power from the consent of the governed. That whenever a political system becomes corrupt, entrenched, and destructive to these ends, It is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and to establish new systems that better reflect their needs, values and hopes. Prudence indeed will dictate that political systems long established should not be changed for light or fleeting causes. And experience has shown that people are often more willing to endure frustrations and disappointments than to challenge deeply rooted systems. But when a long train of abuses and failures shows a clear pattern of placing party loyalty, corporate interests, and political survival over the rights of individuals. It is the right, it is the duty of the people to throw off such systems and to create new political pathways for the future. The history of the Democratic and Republican parties is a history of repeated failures to address the needs of the people and repeated prioritization of power over principle. To prove us this, let the facts be submitted to a candid world. Do you see the correlation to the Declaration of Independence? Here we go. They have entrenched a two-party monopoly that stifles competition, suppresses alternative voices, and denies voters meaningful choice. They have fueled bitter polarization, dividing communities, families, and the nation, not for the people's benefit, but for their own political gain. They have prioritized corporate donors and special interests over the needs of working people and small businesses. They have failed to act. They have acted unconstitutionally on threats like climate change, economic inequality, health care choices and gun violence to limit individual freedom. They have undermined trust in our Republican form of government by gerrymandering, facilitating voter fraud, introducing reforms like ranked choice voting and campaign finance. They have performative gestures while avoiding meaningful structural changes or change, focusing on political point scoring instead of solving problems. They have weaponized fear, misinformation and media echo chambers to manipulate public opinion and cling to power. They have made it nearly impossible for independent or third party candidates to compete on a level playing field, locking the system to their advantage. They have called upon, we have called upon them time and time again to reform to open the political process, to listen to the voices of the people, to place country over party, but they have responded with gridlock, empty promises, or further entrenchment. A political establishment that refuses accountability and change is no longer fit to lead a free people. We, therefore, the independent citizens of the United States do solemnly declare that we are free and independent from the Democratic and Republican parties, that we do not recognize any monopoly they have over our lives, that we claim the right to build new parties and movements to support independent candidates and to restore our republic to truly reflect constitutional principles. And for the support of this declaration with firm reliance on the principles of justice, equality, and self-determination, we mutually pledge to each other our time, our energy, and our wavering commitment to a better future. And I think that this is going to be part of our battle cry here to take back this state through honest elections, which I gave you all the moving parts at the beginning of this today with what's happening with Maduro, Dominion. I saw it with my own eyes that they faked every single public accuracy test in the state. It was admitted by Peggy Sadler in Byron Township when they had theater, not that we could see anything. have a question turn around this is amazing so when the u.s first wrote a letter it was a declaration before the declaration of independence ten years prior they sent it to the king of england and the two houses over there of government and then ten years later they sent them that the declaration are you going to as a party send this declaration to the heads of the two parties i am and we will be we will be sending this to probably you should see our our contact list just so everybody knows our new website is operational please go and sign up on the u.s taxpayers party site And we will get all of this to you. We've got a complete media list. We've got every person that's in an official capacity on the list so we can send them stuff easily. This is going to get really interesting very quickly. So there we go. What's that? Put it on your banner. Put it on the banner. That's right. Diane Laporte-Clump said, do you have the documents that show when They changed the ballot to include D's and R's. Michigan, it was nineteen seventy six. Look back at all the crap that happened in the seventies. It was just incredible. I mean, you can go back to that time and honestly see the playbook that they were using to bring us to the point where we are now. But what they didn't have in the playbook is white hats and good guys who would rather die for what we believe in. then let this satanic system continue. And there was one more thing I see that John's backstage. Hi, John. I see you. So I'll bring you on in a minute here. And we can actually probably bring John on in a minute here. Hey, John, how you doing? I'm doing well. I didn't listen to the whole thing. Just the last part is very intriguing. Well, it's really exciting because there was a sealed indictment that was opened yesterday, and it was Maduro's bookkeeper. That is going to flip the tables are about to be flipped here on the elections. But this is something that we were going to talk about. Maybe Karen, I've got civic chain coming on tomorrow at ten. I think I have nine o'clock open yet. And then Stephanie will be on at eleven talking about what happened with the the connections and where this is going is honestly, it's to a court in Miami. And that's going to be the key right there, which is really, really interesting. But I wanted to show you this and we need to acknowledge this because the reality is, is that we are in a spiritual war right now. This cannot be ignored. So David Clement, who is a good, David Clements, who's a good friend, him and Aaron are good friends. They stayed with us. They've stayed with us before when they were being held hostage here during COVID, they actually stayed with us. And they are the nicest people you can, you would ever want to meet. So I think that coming to terms with the fact that this honestly is a transnational crime syndicate, which is satanic in nature and does all sorts of horrible things. Some of the things that a lot of people haven't even heard that they're capable of doing, but that those of us who were perhaps in the Anon networks or who are boss level researchers already know that this is going on. I thought that David's article was very, very much to the point talking about the vampirizing. Oh, I guess I got to add this here. Skip to stop vampirizing of children. And this is what they believe. So when you want to know where this all comes back to, this all comes back to the fact that they believe if they take the energy of someone else or something who dies, that they get to live forever. So they vampirize children's blood. They take the children's blood. They do all sorts of things, which is taking the life of another in order for them to believe that they live forever. So if you can, if you, I had posted this a couple of days ago. It's a great article. I encourage everyone to go to Professor David Clement's Substack. It's on my Telegram channel. It's also, I believe, on my X channel. which is at Brandenburg, the number four MI. You'll find all the links and everything. Actually, I post on Telegram before I post anywhere because there's no limit to how much I can post and that sort of thing. And I can edit easily there too if I need to change something, if I made a mistake. Usually it's a grammatical mistake or something like that. I'll go back and and and fix after post. OK, I missed that. That kind of thing. But anyhow, he lays it out. Completed in eighteen eighty eight after forty years of struggle, the Washington Monument is more than stone and engineering. It's the unseen realm. It has functioned as one of the most prominent territorial altars in the nation. Construction officially began on July fourth, eighteen forty eight, with a full Masonic cornerstone laying ceremony. The Grand Master of the District of Columbia used George Washington's own Masonic apron and gavel. Masonic lodges from across America donated stones inscribed with their symbols. Its towering obelisk form is not accidental. It is the Egyptian counterpart to the Canaanite Asherah pole. And it gets into much more than that. And I got to tell you what I saw at Valley Forge. The Masons also... erected an arch on top of one of the tallest hills there. If you go there and take a look at this, and I can probably, if you guys want to talk amongst yourselves a minute, I can probably post one of the symbols that I saw. That is a little disturbing, quite honestly. One thing that I'd like to say with that article, and I haven't read the article, but I love David Clement. I watch his videos pretty regularly. My wife loves his voice. But the long and the short is everything that I've been watching, and you and I talked a little bit about this last time. I'm sorry, we grew up watching vampire movies. How much of this is really what's been going on for history? Yes. Like I've also said, I think to you, and maybe not in other circles, I mean, I look at now the Statue of Liberty completely different. It came from the French. We will take your huddled masses. That is immigration through and through. How much of this stuff, and I love the whole, and I'm reluctant to say the whole Anon type thing because, of course, nobody believes it, but I wouldn't know what I know without having to follow some of this stuff. First person witness. I was in with the Anon network before I came out and became a real person publicly. Yes. But I think the whole caveat behind that is when you find out where this has been, how long it's been going on. I just heard you say something about this happening in the seventies. You know, we just had a meeting last night at our Republican executive club. So for your audience who didn't listen before, I'm the treasurer. I believe all campaign finance is corrupt. It needs to change from the start. But we literally tried to endorse a nonpartisan race identifying to our community that she's Republican for school boards. So our school boards are nonpartisan. And the room wouldn't vote for it. And they said, we shouldn't take that. We aren't kings. We aren't this. We shouldn't be selecting our electors. And the reality is, you know, I had our president who's now fighting on Facebook. I'm going to send her a message this morning because I'm not on Facebook. And I'm going to literally say, so if you're telling me we shouldn't have done this. Are you telling me that Donald Trump is wrong for doing it on his own party, even in partisan races? And I can't wait for their response because we all know their response is going to be X. They're going to say that, well, Donald Trump's different. No, he isn't. And I think when I look at the divided, you know, united we stand, divided we fall, the whole two-party system has got to just be blown up. It just has to be. It's got to go. It absolutely has to go. I'm going to bring up my Telegram channel here a minute. And I just threw some photos on this that I can show you. And I want you to tell me. What you see here, because this this whole this and it's if you look at the roots of the Sumerian religions and such, I asked somebody that was trying to convince me that Gnosticism is a good thing, that there were many gods created and Sophia created Yahweh and she knew it was a bad thing. So she hit him in a dark cloud and such. I mean, listen to the insanity of what's being said there. It's insane. It is absolutely insane. Gnosticism is. This was at the bottom of the arch, which was erected in the, I think it's a eighteen thirties. It was about the eighteen thirties that this whole arch was erected. And this was not got to go the other way. Sorry, guys. This was erected, and here is symbolic. I was looking at the symbols that they had all over this arch, but they were late to the party. I'm going to tell you what they did. They came in and they built this arch to stake the claim of what the good people in Valley Forge did. There was also the woman that did our tour. also laid it out that most of the people that are in the Masons don't even, they have no idea what they're involved in. It's just like the people of the United States have no idea, the majority of the people, what's been running behind this and honestly pushing the Satanism into our everyday lives. Look at Hollywood. Look at the child trafficking that's going on. Look at the fraud with our currency. and such. There you go. We had Masonic symbols all over this arch. And there's the arch right there. Everything else is little Lincoln log huts and such where they were encamping. And all of a sudden you've got this great big monolith. And I'm like, what kind of a portal from hell is this? Have you had an opportunity to analyze what Trump's putting up? I did see that. I have not looked at, you know, some of the symbolism. And again, that's the thing that Anand, you look at the symbolism will be their downfall. But I'm really curious as to the symbolism that he's going to be putting on that. So there are things that really kind of scare me on both sides anymore sometimes. But to your point, is it a in your face? This is a complete rejection of your philosophies, which I want to say it is. Well, and it could be too. I mean, how do you take down a transnational crime syndicate, which is being run by these secret societies, the banksters, the cartels of the insurance agents or the insurance industry, All of it. How do you do it? You're going to have people that are going to get in there and infiltrate. The tour guide that we had gave a Christian perspective on what actually happened. And I got to tell you, her name is Tara Krause, and she was probably one of the most interesting people I've ever listened to in my life. And she had the receipts of who married who, where they lived, what was going on at the time. And she said, too, she said, the Masons in the United States weren't really infiltrated at the beginning. It was a trade organization, but it became infiltrated. She also said that she does not believe that though Washington was a Mason, that he was involved in it as organized crime at the time because of how many times, significant times, he was found on his knees praying to God Almighty to bless and protect the people there in the name of Jesus Christ. She was... Pretty compelling, just like most of the Masons that are there now. You know, if you get past, say, like, if you get past the third degree, most people never make it because they say, you're not quite ready yet to progress and that sort of thing because they found out that you haven't been able to be compromised and do the things that they do in the upper tiers of this. But make no mistake, it is Satanism in its purest form. And Satan's not going to haul you in and let you see the sacrifices immediately. He's insidious. Oh, just one little lie. It doesn't matter. Just one thing. It doesn't matter. You can do that. And before you know it, you are drowning in the culture that they have, that demonically has been infiltrating our entire nation, our families, our homes. And it's been a slow roll. The one thing that I really love, and I'm assuming you've seen this, is back when this whole thing started, as Trump was coming back into office, when you start to realize every lawyer that he put around him was a specialization in RICO law. He knows what he's up against. So those lawyers are predominantly all based in RICO law. So that's how he's going to bring this to the forefront. And I'm really excited about what might be happening in Florida here in the next couple months. I think so too. So it's, it's really, you know, a message of encouragement. I know everybody is absolutely, you know, depressed. It feels like there's no way out. We feel like we're sinking because nothing's happening. It's a fake news. You're listening to fake news, right? Fake news is not going to tell you what's going on. And I got to tell you the compliments that I got from several people lately have been just kind of overwhelming to me. I didn't expect it about the fact that Brandenburg News Network has never wavered, never changed the tune of what we put out there, put out truth every time. And if I make a mistake, I will absolutely redact it or not redact it. I'll leave it stand so people can see it. And I will tell you the truth and say, we thought we had the truth nailed down. We made a mistake, but this is part of the process of investigating things and getting to the truth. But I will say I was wrong. I was wrong on this issue. And I want to make sure everybody knows this was something I was wrong on. And if you don't hate who you were yesterday, you haven't grown. You need to be, people need to be able to say, you know what? I don't know everything. I made a mistake on this. Nobody's perfect. And if somebody acts like they're perfect, they're creating, they're curating a message for you. It's ego, it's not knowledge. What's that? It's ego, it's not knowledge. That's exactly it. So lots and lots of... Lots and lots of comments. Diane, you're doing a great job. You're putting this thing out there talking about Dillon rule and home rule in the townships. Curtis Clark has been talking about that a lot. He's got a new book out, by the way, for everybody. And well, I'll probably bring him on at some point in time and he can talk about rural townships and that sort of thing. So anyhow, I'm sorry to go off on that tangent, but I thought it was a little important to go there. So anyhow. So what do you have that you want to talk about today, John and Karen? Do you want to stay on Karen? It's up to you. You're the boss. You're in trouble. Well, Karen, if you want to listen to just as my wife would say, boring financial information, which I think is relatively riveting, but there's some deep holes in there. If you want to maybe learn a few things, what I will just reinforce right out of the gate is I am not Um, a certified financial advisor. I'm just a normal person. To Donna's point, somebody that does the research into things that the news and the media won't tell us. So I've got some information. What my goal is today, and I spoke or I sent this to Donna, is I want to really speak to the oil. And I know that people are dissatisfied and they're concerned because they see the price of oil going up and they want to know when Donald Trump's going to bring it down. We all know that When inflation strikes, no administration ever carries through the midterms. But there's a lot of different things that we have to understand in how the process of the entire oil industry drives our economy. When people say that interest rates and money flow, obviously the creation of money, causes inflation. I will say yes. However, they use oil and, frankly, energy to drive inflation. the discernment. So the energy, when they make it scarce, actually drives our prices up, which has a direct correlation with why our inflation actually happens in the first place, which is then what enables the banks to simply print more money. So, you know, it's the chicken before the egg theory. Is energy causing inflation or are our banks causing inflations? Well, when you understand that our banks are controlling the Middle East and literally the oil industry, they're holding their hands with this going straight into it. So I'm going to talk a little bit about the oil, what it means. It goes back to Maduro and Venezuela and, frankly, when our oil industry collapsed. So that's kind of the basis of what my conversation is. So with that said, you're welcome to stick around. Or you're like, oh, my God, I don't want to hear that. And I won't judge you if you leave. I'd hear it either way. But it sounds like you and Donna are going to be the primary conversationist for this. So out of respect for that, I think I'll bow out and just listen in. I can send you backstage and you can listen. And then if you want to come on or you have something to say, how about this? How about you just comment in the private chat and I'll bring you back on. Okay. All right. Bye. See you in a minute. I'll bring you on at the end of the show. How's that? Okay. All right. Thanks. Karen is not just sort of a friend of mine. She is one of the most amazing people that I have ever met in my life, and I just love her dearly. We are truly friends, and she's very selfless and wonderful. Very good. Very good. Nice to have good people around us, you know? Absolutely. Absolutely. So if, and I don't know, I sent you the article that I'm probably going to reference a lot. So I'm assuming you've posted that. I have not. When did you send it to me? Uh, probably right after our conversation two weeks ago, unfortunately, which may be hidden or buried by now. It's probably buried. Yes. And I could send it again at the end of this, but if, if just for, as a reference point, there's a gentleman named Michael Burry, some of your audience, some of our audience will actually know who Michael Burry is. He's the actual guy that actually called out the big short. So the movie, the big short is, that happened in our housing crash. He was the guy that actually bet against the housing crash up as far as early as three to four years prior to the actual incident taking place, where he began to build businesses and he built his portfolio. So he worked on Wall Street, he worked for the big banks, and he literally began to short the housing markets years before... the entire market fell apart. He lost millions of dollars up until the event actually happened. He had to beg, borrow, and steal from the banks to maintain him. They call it a margin call, so they tried to bring him in on margin. So they did all kinds of stuff. So if anybody hasn't seen The Big Short, I highly encourage you to go watch it. It's amazing how they have these movies kind of pop up to let you know a little bit about what may be happening without really telling you what happened. But he is actually then, I think it was just last year around September. sent a letter out to his entire portfolio that said he was going, his clients, that he was going to send all of their money back because the markets were acting in such a precarious way that he cannot actively manage the money with good faith, knowing that history and what he sees in the trends and what he saw in the market in the past is actually functioning correctly. So he sent everybody's money back, but then he opened up and started a blog I'm assuming to maybe make a few dollars because some of the stuff's behind a paywall. Some of it's not. I'm cheap, so I don't pay for the paywall. But he published an article probably back in December or January of this year on oil. And it was really an amazing article. And it ties all back to Venezuela. So why are we going into Venezuela to grab Maduro? Obviously, you spoke a little bit about that earlier. You know, I see a lot of other things on the horizon. But as we know, everything appears to be really intertwined and connected. But when Chavez took over Venezuela back in the seventies and eighties, they literally captured our oil industry. So I'm old enough to know that back then, Texas was our oil industry. We had refineries. We had the Louisiana market. Everything was really set up to bring that Venezuelan oil to the United States to refine. And that's when we had access to it. But all this took a turn. We obviously went from the gold standard to the petrodollar standard. And everything really went awry from there. But on the heels of that, we lost access to a very important market. And what's really intriguing about this article is you can read it as a oil man, or you can read it as a strategist. And unfortunately, I always look at it relative to a strategy. But this article spells out the importance of Venezuela, And we always hear what we call WTI, and we also hear Brent crude. So Brent crude is what they would even consider dirty oil. And when you understand Trump's strategy, it really, to me, becomes extremely clear. But in this article, it talks about the different grades of oil. It's a seven, it's a ten, it's a twenty, it's a fifty. You get up in that fifty range and they start qualifying it as dirty oil. Well, what dirty oil really means based on this article is that there's more granularity in it. There's more asphalt. There's more rock. There's more heavy consistency. So it actually takes a special kind of refiner to make it palatable for different uses. But what we have an abundance of is what they call WTI, the sweet crude, so to speak. And what that's really used for is gasoline. And if we have so much of that, then why isn't our gasoline cheap? Well, what this article kind of explains is the different variations of grades, the oil industry makes more margin off of a denser, higher crude-based oil. And when you really start to see through this, what Trump is trying to do by opening up this corridor, bringing Venezuela back into the fold, he's literally going to put all of our refineries in Texas and Louisiana back to work. So when you start thinking, okay, what's Trump trying to do? He's trying to bring jobs back to the United States. What else is he trying to do? He's trying to build our infrastructure to make it stronger. He's actually using it to build plants. So when you really read through this article and it talks about heavier grades of oil, The reason these refiners all shut down, it was too expensive to change them over. So by opening up that corridor, now all of a sudden we can bring all this so-called dirty oil back into our environment. And these refiners will be put back into place, which will put thousands of jobs back into place down in Louisiana and Texas. But what it'll really do is is it will enable the oil industry, and I hate to say it to you this way, because a lot of people say big money's bad, blah, blah, blah. But what Trump's doing is he's growing an economy. And what this is going to do is it's going to enable the oil companies to blend their margins. And if they're able to blend their margins into a higher return on investment with respect to the dirty oil, They will then in turn produce more of the W sweet crude. So if today their margins are around forty percent, if it were all just gasoline, that forty percent is not enough. But if they bring in the higher grade, higher density, higher margin business, it may actually be sixty percent. We think to ourselves, oh, here we go again. But the reality is when they blend that, they can actually increase their output for gasoline while they're actually building infrastructure, putting people to work, enabling this access for the United States to have direct access to this information and or this product to actually build our nation back up. So it not only puts jobs to work in Texas and Louisiana in the refining space, it actually opens up the ability for counties and cities and governments to to when they come in to replace the roads. And I'm sorry, I lived in Detroit for four years, and I know why you drive eighty miles an hour. It's because you have to jump over the potholes. You literally have to drive over them. I've never seen a car with a broken axle on the side of the road until I moved to Michigan. It's terrible. People don't understand. No, believe me, I do. And I'm down here in Florida and they say our roads are bad. And I'm like, oh, my God, I've never been in more heaven in my life. It's like driving over cotton. But when you understand that today, when you use the WTI crude, there's all kinds of refining processes that actually cost more money to convert that into an asphalt type product. So. The length of time that that product actually lasts is like ten times less. So here we are using a lesser grade of oil that actually builds our infrastructure. Our cities and our counties are actually using that oil to build our roads and our roads deteriorate. If we open up the corridor again and offer ourselves the access to this heavier crude because of its rock content and all these other things in it, it actually makes a better infrastructure and our roads could last and should last as long as ten years or more. So, what that'll do is it'll actually reduce our tax requirements to continue to repair roads. Again, in Michigan, they fix a pothole and, you know, the next snow or ice storm would come and the pothole was twice the size it was a week ago. Oh, it's ridiculous. And I don't like the short pours they do here because they'll do like a short pour in the road. So you're going on the road like that. It's terrible. They call those test roads. Yeah, they're terrible, right? The other thing they need to do is they need to start using basalt rods instead of re-rod, the iron re-rod. That's something that's kind of got me a little baffled because they don't... Well, when you remove your steel industry... When you remove the steel industry, that costs money. So by bringing all this manufacturing back, tying it all together, it will reinforce not only the buildings that Trump's trying to replace, but the roads that we replaced. It's just going to make our infrastructure that much longer or stronger and last that much longer, which takes stress off of our tax base. Exactly. Well, this is really exciting. I hope everybody's encouraged by today's show. And I'm sorry I was a little distracted there a little bit, too. But Patrick Burns is going to be on at eleven talking about the unsealed indictment and arrests that are happening. Please, everybody out there, pass this on to other people. I think people are going to want to hear this. Well, I've followed Patrick Burns for quite a while. And some of the things that I'm reading about what Harmey Dillon has the power to do. could be extremely interesting. I don't know if your group has talked about it, whether you're aware, and I'm assuming you are, about the whole structure that the DOJ has now asked all the states to provide their voter rolls. And if they do not provide their voter rolls, Harmeet Dhillon has the capacity and the power to tell those states that they cannot participate in any federal election. So unfortunately, Michigan- unfortunately is probably one of those areas that you won't actually be able to vote for anybody in the house, the Senate or above that. And even if you do, what are they going to tell them up front to demand it? Or are they going to wait until the votes are cast and come out and say, well, because your state broke the law, none of your votes count. I don't know. It's an interesting time. Yeah. I know Patrick. He's a very nice person. And so I'm kind of glad he's coming on. Stephanie will come on tomorrow and finish this up. But things are definitely happening. So have a little faith out there, everyone. It's coming around. And all I got to say is God bless President Trump and all the good guys that are working with him. They're masters of infiltration. They are not, you know, you remember in the Lord of the Rings series, when they say you do not just walk in the front door of Mordor, right? You're going to get in there by infiltration and you're going to do it with some, some smarts and some intelligence behind it. You don't just like, you know, and these guys are smart, they're mitigating damage, but that doesn't mean that it's going to be, everything's going to be as clean as we might want it to be because they, the bad guys have infiltrated everything through systems, through communications, everything's been infiltrated. They're listening to us now. They listen to everything. They're listening to phone, you know, And so it's like, you don't have to be paranoid. It's just the way it is. I'm okay with that. I am too. I'm okay with it. If it increases our ability to get them all at this point in time, sometimes you go through extreme measures when you know that if you don't, your country and many, many people are going to be killed or die. You have to step in the way of threat. Correct. So to kind of bring this back to where I was going, the interesting thing is about all of this Venezuela stuff is the media is going to tell us it's all about oil. I just sat here and told you it is about oil, but I think your conversation earlier with Maduro, you know, the bookkeeper, all of that stuff is tied to Venezuela as well. And I maybe have said this before, but at my age, I watched the CIA or however I may should say it, basically overthrow governments worldwide when I was a kid. We watched it. We saw it. They brazenly told us that's what we were doing on TV. I won't say when the media was real because I get the impression they've never really been real. But the long and the short is we were told long ago that we were doing it in the form of democracy. And it clearly is a function that we've been doing this across the world, and we needed a bad actor to help us do that across the world to where it didn't come back on us to the infiltration part. We actually leveraged that and infiltrated other governments. And Venezuela is the spearhead of where we pick that up. And Chavez was the instigator. Maduro, I see a lot of things happening there. The bookkeeper, I've seen all that pop up. But the reality is when you see it all together. That the CIA working with the Venezuela government, the Cuban government's part of this big equation as well. When you see how it was all set up and you see how they moved us, Henry Kissinger basically, not Nixon, took us off the gold standard. They moved all this stuff into Venezuela. It's all tied together, one hundred percent. So the media can jump all over Trump and say it's always been about big oil. It's always been about the oil. It's always about the money. And he can do this. The media jumps all over the fact that gas prices are too high, even in Florida for fifty nine a gallon. I don't know what it is everywhere else, but the reality is, hey, I'm not happy with that either. But I do, based on what I said earlier, understand that when we get these refineries up and running, our gasoline prices will drop dramatically. It's just we have to have patience. Not everybody has the patience. Not everybody has the wherewithal. And frankly, not everybody has the means to get through it. So it is going to be very hard. But when you see how it was all put together and you see how it's all breaking loose, what, Iran was created in the seventies? It's tied to London. It's all oil-based, too. So he targeted Venezuela first for oil. The media can jump all over him. Now he's on Iran for oil. It's the war that's causing the oil. I'm sorry. Do they think we're that stupid? This is the very same thing that Biden did. But Biden, oh, well, he was senile. Now they're trying to throw the senile on Trump. They're trying to throw the banking on Trump. They're trying to throw the economy on Trump. The difference is Biden was doing it to drive it the wrong way. Trump has to break the paradigm to drive it back the other way. And I've got somebody that's running for office down here, and I won't use the name, but he hasn't been very solid, okay? America first, everything, he speaks, and you're just like, really? Really? And a new entry came in who was very constitutional. He was in office before and left because they crushed him in Florida. Now he's going up higher up. And so I got to hear them both speak. And the one is he's a constitutional lawyer. Excellent. Right. So I said to him beforehand, I'm going to ask you some pretty pointed questions because I need to understand where you're at. And I asked that we had three different people running for that particular role in this meeting. And so I asked him, you're a great constitutional lawyer. Everybody loves what you can do. But as I'm watching the world unfold and as I'm watching the Supreme Court judgments and I watch all this stuff going on with the religious beliefs and all these other things. Can you look at the Constitution? and actually interpret it. So I hate to say that word because he did not like the question, interpret it to be more America first. And so I did ask the question of him in the meeting. He says, I'm going to look at the Constitution as it's written and I will not deviate. Well, what he basically told me is bring the mosques in. You guys are probably more familiar with that than anybody in Michigan. I got to live there for a few years. I'm like, oh, my gosh. Bring the mosques in. Let them use our Constitution against us because they know how to interpret it to bury us with it. So I don't think he answered it very well. He would have been my first choice because his past. And then this other guy that's actually been running for a while, he got beat last time. He comes out. All of a sudden, he's got a new team behind him. And he starts talking about really sitting down and writing some of the bills that's going directly against child trafficking, going against or for child safety, going against big pharma. And then he said something that really struck a chord with me because this guy has not been sharp. So he's obviously got a team behind him now. And he said, we're going to write a bill that will dislodge oil from its standards. And when you see what's happened in Iran, and that's what's driving our oil prices up, and the whole thing with Venezuela flows straight into Iran, because when Venezuela was taken by the bad actors, they actually shipped all their oil basically into Iran, some China, and they actually did the refinery in that marketplace. So what is Trump doing? He shut down that corridor. He shut them down. So the next step is to go into Iran to shut it down. And what that's going to do, and again, as I may have said it the last time, but what that's going to do is it's actually going to break the London futures market. And by breaking the London futures market, which today is carrying our price through speculation, or I hate to say it, well, Nixon took us off the gold standard because there was market manipulation. Lo and behold, it's the same story, but now it's going to go the other way. So it clearly could be to break that manipulation, that futures market, which is controlled by London. So you grab Venezuela first, which is a strangle point. You grab Iran second, which is a strangle point. And then you walk into China. And you sit down with she and the media is not invited. He brings all of the power of all the bad actors. Sorry, I really think it was it was a staged event. Bring in all of our big business and have them sit in the room and walk out empty handed. He was telling our corporate, China is not where we need to do business. You need to do business in the United States. So a lot of this was theater, as it all appears to be half the time anyway. I love it when Trump says it's central casting. He's saying it more and more these days. But when you watch what's happening there, literally what did Trump say to Xi and behind the closed doors about the oil industry? We are strangling Xi's access to oil. So they're in a lot of trouble. They've been in a lot of trouble with the housing market for probably four or five years. There's a company called Evergrande that we've all been waiting for that to implode and pull down the Chinese economy. But they keep pumping it up and all this other stuff. But the long and the short is Trump sat down with him and said, I will help you if you help me. And I know the media will not like that. I know right afterwards we opened up more access to Russian energy. Why would Trump do that? When we've been taught all of our lives that democracy is the only way, communism is terrible. Well, when you realize the deep state is not just in the United States and it's worldwide, has this thing, and again, through the Anon conversation, since you went there, the long and the short is I believe there's been that plan out there for all along. The Anon message has always been that Trump is working with Xi and Putin And oh my God, if America found out about that, what would they think? But what we see and what I see in the financial industry is by Trump putting a stranglehold on energy. Remember, energy drives inflation, not the banks. What he's doing is putting a stranglehold on energy. He's already closer with Putin than he is with Xi, but he's now pulling the strings with Xi to help him see the light to stop doing what he's doing with Iran and sending military equipment in there. I think your audience is smart enough to understand the Belt and Road Initiative, which is basically China walks into other countries and says, I'm going to give you this. And I'm going to give you a bunch of money to help you with that. But in this contract, it basically says, if you can't pay that bill, I will then basically grab assets from your country. So the Belt and Road Initiative in the beginning has predominantly gone into port cities. And they own the majority of major ports, seaports, in these countries, which will enable them to actually use those facilities effectively. for any military action. It's not a good situation. But the long and the short is, Trump sees this. The people behind him see this. I think it's been out there for a long time. And he's now sitting with Xi directly and sitting with Putin directly to literally remove London from the equation. Because London has been the stranglehold of all market manipulation in You know what? I don't even know how long, but you could probably go back to the Middle Ages. I mean, you watch all the wars that have started in the sixteen hundreds, all this stuff. You know, it's crazy to watch how it all happens. And it all happens with and back in the days, again, divide and conquer. That's why I look at, you know, religion in here. If I look at the Catholic community. It's doing some terrible things in the United States today, but they're doing it for money. They're doing it because they got caught with a bunch of child manipulation in Boston, wherever else it may have been happening for years. So they're having to pay off their debt, so they're falling into a lot of holes. Then you look at the Protestant faith, and it's in a different country. It's amazing how they're based on different countries. Was the religion of the status, so to the symbolism, based on... Literally, those were leading the governments with the money they were able to collect from the people for the purpose of good to drive war. Long and short, I look at religion as what we have in here. My wife was a brought up Catholic. Every time I went to Catholic church, you know, I love this guy, I love this guy, but this guy, all he does is ask for money. She knew I didn't like the guy that asked for money. But now even my wife won't go to the Catholic church because they're moving more trafficking and children in the United States and probably any religion in the country. Catholic services. You got to look at that because anytime there's money that's given or what, and the amount of money that they were taking in per person, that's human trafficking. Yes. Well, and the other thing, when I ran for property appraiser here and my market, What I learned, unfortunately, is the NGO. And the NGO is every religious organization out there. They don't pay taxes. They literally don't. So they got some of the biggest lands. They sit on land. They're selling them back to the developers here in this town. So the developers are building low-income housing. It's all for the guys of the good. But they're all putting a bunch of money in their pocket. And until we actually wake people up there, a great example is my daughter is now twenty five. She lives in the southern part of Georgia. They found a church to go to and it's not affiliated with anything. And when we sit and listen to the message, it's like, you know what? These guys are not talking from the here. They're talking from here. And it resonates with me. They're literally telling you, you have to be there for the community. You have to be as a man. So get this, a church, as a man, you have to protect your family. I don't know if I've heard that from a church in a long time. So I think we're watching the destruction of a lot of institutions. The financial one is going to be the key, because in my opinion, the financial one is the one that's holding it all together. It holds the churches in relationship to the government, in relationship to the big business. And literally, in my world, I see oil as the demon behind it all. Because oil and, frankly, energy is what drives the inflation. So, again, the chicken before the egg, what Trump's doing with Venezuela, now what he's doing with Iran. For the people that are in the audience, I'm assuming we're all pretty much behind what Trump does, but we struggle with the everyday dialogue that we have with our peers, with our neighbors, our friends, and even other Trump supporters. Wow, I really used to like Trump, but I can't afford to guess. I can't imagine why he's doing this. He said he would never get into another war. Why is he there? The media is telling us how to think. And it is unfortunate and it is going to be painful. But what I'm going to say is the end game based on the structures of oil and how it's put together in reflection of how the businesses build it will be able to blend their margins, which will then not only help us go back to work in the United States, it'll help us build our infrastructure back in the United States. stronger, more efficient, and when it's all said and done, they'll be able to increase their output on gasoline, which will lower the prices. How long will that take? I want to think, holy cow, it's got to be before the midterms, but... Again, you look at the media, you look at everybody talking, well, if you take this offline, if you do this offline, you know, it's going to take six to nine months before the whole supply chain gets back up and running. But when you really understand, and my wife said it to me the other day, Well, you know what? I'm really getting sick and tired of this waffling. They call it the Trump taco trade. Well, first he says he's going to do it, then he doesn't do it. He's going to do this, and then he's not going to do it. The EU and the Arabic states come in and say, well, we knew you were going to bomb Iran today or tomorrow. Don't do it. Buy us some more time. When we really understand why he has to wait, and I hate to say it to people this way, is Iran does support twenty percent of the world's oil. And if Trump went in there and decimated the country like he says he will, I know if he does it, it's going to be strategic. But if he goes in and decimates Iran like he says he will, like everybody now says, rah, rah, rah, let's just get it over with, he will remove twenty percent of the oil from the market. That will make oil spike. That will make gasoline spike more. So when you understand that he's, and as I've said before, he's walking a tightrope in this economy because they set him up to fail. And he has to walk this tightrope. He's got to be cautious of the infrastructure that's there. And literally the infrastructure that's there is the only thing holding up their entire economy. So what people are not paying attention to is Scott Besson just went into the G-Seven, I think this week, maybe Monday, maybe Sunday. He flew in, sat down with the G-Seven and demanded that the G-Seven follow the United States sanctions. So clearly what they're seeing is they're watching Europe. Again, remember, I'm saying that the takeout is London. It's not China. It's not Russia. It's London. It's the futures market. It's what controls the price of oil, which is what controls inflation. So Besson goes into the G-Seven and clearly says, you need to pay attention to the United States sanctions on Iran. What else was said in that meeting? he's got enough autonomy. He's got enough authority to come into the G seven, which the G seven for reference is predominantly Europe. You walk in there and say, okay, you either do it or I will sanction you. You know, he's got that authority to do that. And if we catch them doing things that are going around or circumventing our sanctions, he'll have full autonomy to do it. And you have to know that it'll come out in a, true social post from Trump, which will force the media to address it. They'll shoot it down. They'll attack it. They'll say that we're, you know, now we're working with China and Russia and going against our allies. We can see how the media is going to write this. But the long and the short is what Donald Trump is doing is finally putting, I hate to say it to the group this way, the letter of the law in place. So when everybody says nobody is above the law, these laws have been on the books for decades. The United States has sanctioned them and sanctioned them and done this here and done that there. Literally, it's all just rhetoric. We haven't put any teeth into any of it. Trump is putting teeth into the sanctions that we have. And when you take a real big step back and you realize what's happening in the banking system and how we can control that, I don't know if your audience has heard about the Genius Act. I spoke a little bit about it last time, but I don't know if we've got new people or how that's unfolding. Assume everybody's hearing it for the first time. Yep. So the Genius Act was actually an act that they put into place, which is all a cryptocurrency situation. I'm not a fan of cryptocurrency, but I go back and I say, okay, we were on a gold standard and we went on a petrodollar. There was a lot of inflation. There was a lot of influx. There was a lot of concern. The markets were all over the place. It was a disruption. So now we have cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency can be tracked. Everything else is central bank digital currency. Everybody's up in arms. The Genius Act actually elevated a cryptocurrency into what they call the stable coin. The stable coin is now permissible in the United States, but it was written low enough to where it was bipartisan. Whenever you hear that term, it's a little nefarious in my world. That means everybody's happy because everybody can make it go their way. What I've learned is every law that we have on the books can go either way. Straight up manipulation. The long and the short is on the Genius Act, they said, if you're going to be a recognized stable coin in the United States, you have to back your coin one-to-one by treasury bonds. So everything that I saw in the seventies, when the markets started to lose faith, when the government, when world governments saw that we were coming off the gold standard, moving to the oil standard, Our interest rates spiked up. The reason they spiked up is because the world became uncomfortable with our dollar because now all of a sudden, oh, you're not backed by gold. So they dumped our treasuries. So meanwhile, you'll see in the media, oh, China's dumping our treasuries. All these people are dumping our treasuries. Well, what Trump and Besson did was they set it up to where our treasuries are now being mandated to be purchased by our stable coin or our cryptocurrency industry. So that was step one, which was really to stabilize our economy. Long and short, I felt like this thing should have gone a long time ago, but this was a brilliant move. Then you move forward with what they call the Clarity Act. The Clarity Act is on top of the Genius Act that was actually just passed by the Banking Committee, so it's going to move into the House and the Senate. But what the Clarity Act is going to do is it's actually going to, and I like to use this as a reference, when I was a kid, I had a bank account. It was a bank book. I brought it in. I had a hundred dollars. I walked in a month later. I had a hundred and two dollars. I walked a month in later. I had a hundred and five dollars. They were paying me anywhere from four to five and a half percent interest on my money when I was a kid. Now, what do we see the cryptocurrency space doing? Oh, well, if you stake your money with here, I can actually give you interest on a dollar. The bank says, you can't do that. Well, wait a minute. It's the same rules that the banks used to use that now they can't afford to do it. So they're afraid. They're trying to put laws into place to fight that. So the Clarity Act, through a lot of dialogue, instead of letting them win the game with interest rates, they're actually going to offer an opportunity for me to move my money from a bank and put it into a cryptocurrency. And under the Clarity Act, I will reap benefits in a points program. Not a fan of points. Don't use them. That's why they like them, because nobody knows how to use them. But what it's also going to do is enable people worldwide to use our currency instead of, say, a Chinese digital currency or the Europeans that are getting rid of their cash. They're going to go to a digital currency. This is going to open up the door for people outside the United States to actually use our currency, which, oh, by the way, is a world currency. Why wouldn't it be a problem? and actually then redeem points on their holdings as interest. My guess is, and I haven't seen the complete readings because it's got to come out, it's got to be changed. A lot of things can happen between the time it's from the banking community to actual law. But my expectation is those redemptions are going to be for United States products. which will continue to grow our economy. It'll force people that says, I don't trust this government, so I'm going to get into the United States currency. It'll be a cryptocurrency that will then be functional in the rest of the world's environment who is removing cash. Honestly, it's a pretty brilliant idea. And in time, I believe they're going to move to interest-bearing accounts, but that takes time. Everything takes time. You can watch the Democrats. They're standing in Congress. Elizabeth Warren, oh my God, people are going to leave the banking system. It's going to collapse the entire system. Honestly, There's some truth to that. But when the way I see it is if the system is thirty eight trillion dollars in debt, thirty nine and counting, there's no turning back. Both sides saw the that our currency was dead. They both had the same vision. One was to put us in a central bank digital currency. And frankly, Trump's ideology, in my opinion, so understand my opinion, is to move us the same direction with protections for us. Our currency is dead. there's no replacing it so scott besant when this all started to happen he went to japan he slowed down the the japanese the japanese the us dollar was getting ready to bust again out of one sixty it's a it's a dynamic that i watch it's trading around one fifty nine now the markets are starting to fluctuate besant just recently came out and said He didn't use the word deflation. He didn't use the word stagnation. Stagflation. Those are two words that historically they've used. He used the term disinflation. Well, what is disinflation? Besant came out and literally said over the next sixty to ninety days, people should brace for disinflation. What does that mean? For the next sixty to ninety days. For the next sixty to ninety days, he literally came out and said people need to brace for disinflation. Stagflation? No. Deflation? No. Disinflation. Okay, so they brought a new buzzword out. We need to figure out what that really means. As I look at it... Yes, it's a word salad, but as I look at it, I believe it's going to be the continued... focus on oil. It'll be the continued focus on what may actually happen in the oil market. We may see things spike. We may see things fall. Trump's already come out and said to the oil industry about a month and a half ago, I watched you all raise your prices the day the war started. I'm watching you. The day the war ends, you better lower them as fast as you raised them. So all the media talks about is Supply chains, it's going to take a long time, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We know Trump is watching our industries. He knows that there's good people in these industries and there's bad people in these industries. And when this thing does occur to where oil starts to drop dramatically because Trump is actually able to pull this out, I think the disinflation part is a sheer disconnect of London from our futures market. I'm going to say right now, again, I think that's going to be painful. What is that going to do? I think there's going to be a definite spike up that's going to get the media in a frenzy. Trump's bad. Everything he's doing is bad. And then it'll immediately drop. And again, when you watch the options market, when you watch what's happening in the behind the scenes of the financial industries, there are gamblers in that area, in that space. Somebody every time knows what Trump is going to do. The media blames it on Trump's administration. But nobody really knows who's doing it. The reality is somebody's making money hand over fist when these moves happen. And those moves are usually put in place sheer hours before the call is made. So somebody knows what's going on. But I also know that what I've been watching for the last year or so is that Trump loves to go into a weekend. All wars start on weekends. He loves to have a narrative of X on Friday. The options traders... Frankly, the bad actors are putting all kinds of money on one side of the trade. And late on Sunday night, they're all waiting for the dime to drop. And Monday morning, it never did. And every one of those options traders that are on the wrong side of the trade get burned. Those people are the bankers. Those people are the hedge funds. Those people are the people that use the futures markets and the options to make money, frankly, derivatives off of nothing. They don't create anything. They're just betting. against America. And Trump's playing that game. He's watching it. Besson's been a phenomenal tool to help him get through that. But I really think it all stems on the oil industry. The disinflation has something to do with oil. And frankly, it's, in my opinion, it's got to happen before the midterms. There's a lot of things that have to happen before the midterms, but we're watching it. You know, People talking about what Harmeet Dhillon could be doing. We got all the stuff going on with the election stuff. We got Maduro. We got Maduro's treasure. Everything's running lightning speed right now. So it's incredible how I'm encouraged that things can happen. It's just how do we break the communication barrier? And, you know, somebody said I saw it on X this morning on how the media is all what Trump said is lowest levels of approval whatsoever. And somebody said, so, OK, makes sense. The media says X. Do we really believe the polls? And frankly, we've been told not to believe the polls for quite a while. But we believe that there's a little bit there. I mean, I'm not sure how far it is. And they said, OK, if that was true. Indiana would have never happened. If that was true, Louisiana would have never happened. If that was true, Kentucky last night would have never happened. So what is the truth? And so there's going to be a day, and I probably could do a session on this one too, where I don't know where your audience is with sports. We've got a mix of people here. Well, I believe, in my opinion, that sports, as much as Trump loves it, as much as I love it, as much as we all grew up with it, when you look at the Roman Coliseum next to the USC Coliseum, and you realize all you have to do is feed the people and make them happy, distract them, and they don't care what we do. And when you understand that sports all makes their money off of television contracts. We all should really scratch our head when we look at the ESPN channel guide today and we see that they're trying to get us to watch cornhole. They're trying to get us to watch all these obscure sports. Is it because they're trying to move everything to us pay for subscription? Is that their goal? Is it because if that is their goal and the game is really where it's headed, we could watch Trump With the FEC come in and shut down all of the networks, which will then shut down all of the sports, major money flows. Then what? Again, that's a harebrained idea. I can see it happening, but I also watched Trump with what he did in the college institutions. He brought everybody in. He's trying to fix whatever's gone wrong there. And what Trump does, he loves to bring them in. He loves to give them a chance. And either they wake up, they have a chance, and they do what's right, or Trump exposes them. So I don't know what's going to happen. You're fired. Yes. I mean, here's your opportunity. I know what you're doing. Here's how you can fix it. Here's the room. Work together. If you can't do it, your industry's dead. So, again, I could probably do an entire segment on that. Well, I don't see Patrick backstage, so you can keep going if you like. And we'll see. We'll see. I know it was because we had to change gears so quickly this morning because Stephanie got called into something that that is more important, honestly, than being on being on this morning. So she'll be on tomorrow. And Patrick agreed to come on today. So we'll see what he keep checking here to see if. how close that he is to getting on, but, but it is really encouraging though, to see all the stuff that is happening right now with a little bit of patience, it's all going to fall into place. So like we were told from the beginning, nothing is ever clean. That means that there's going to be some bumps in the road when, when, When tackling an enemy as large as what we have, we could blow people's minds even further. It's going back to the fact that Canada was never properly federated. Queen Victoria made some really unlawful moves and what came after her was even more unlawful. Canada was never properly federated. Doug Forrest came on my show, and he died a month and a half later exposing this. And he was threatened by our own country, CIA, a while back, and he died. But the other problem here is that the United States, it's really questionable whether we were ever properly confederated or federated. Because of the Articles of Confederation, there were some really questionable things that happened back then. And those are questions that we're going to have to address and solve. Because this crime syndicate that we have going on has been operational for thousands of years. It's just that we're seeing it now. Absolutely. And honestly, some things about, you know, obviously your next guest. When I got my son involved in the markets back in twenty twenty, when we really started to see the underneath plumbing, Patrick Byrne and what he did with Overstock.com was pretty much what drove him to dig into the whole options chain and understand all the stuff that's been going on there. And when I look at what he was going through with how they basically forced him out, of that company, how they were trying to put it out of business. You can see that clearly he understood it and he had the technical aptitude to educate people. But even to this day, I haven't seen as much as him talking about the derivatives and how bad the market structures are because he's really focused on the whole election stuff. But a lot of the information that I've embraced has basically been listening to what Patrick Byrne has had to say in the past. And he clearly spells it out. that the whole thing's built on a house of cards, which is the scariest part. Well, it's scary, but it's also not scary either, because if you want to fight an enemy and you know the structure is just crap, it's a lot easier to get rid of the filth if their system is really not very stable. You've just got to have a better replacement for what they've put in our faces. So I'm OK. There's there's some things Patrick has got. He's a really he's a very interesting person, just just as his his life and his his personhood and his ties to Warren Buffett. And from what I understand, and this is not from coming from him, it's just what I've seen and picked up is that that whole family wasn't real happy with him because of his standing with America. So we have to see what's going on there. But I think he's been under an awful lot of threat. Buffett or Sparks? Patrick Burns. He's been under a lot of threat. He's been under a lot of attack. And I talked to another guy that's in Florida who's tied to military intelligence and he's a good guy. He's a great, great guy. You know, like everything has been infiltrated. So there's good guys and bad guys everywhere. You just got to hang out with the good guys and try to get the bad guys. Right. Right. And from his, his perspective too, you know, that, um, And I don't know, I said to Tim, too, and he agreed with me that, you know, we really have to take people on an individual basis. But if somebody hasn't been attacked or drawing flak, I kind of flush them. If somebody has actually been attacked, like President Trump, has been drawing all sorts of fire on themselves. You got to know that's a good person because they're going to try to shut people down who are good people. But the ones that skate in with all the flowery words and such, man, they got the tongue of Satan coming right through them because they'll tell you what you want to hear while doing the exact opposite. So that critical thinking that the United States has actually grown into, and I've got to, Give a lot of credit to all of the Anons that are out there that have stood, who have lost family and friends and have been attacked over the years brutally. The digital soldiers that stepped up to pass on the information. The people who stood against the go along to get along or what we're used to category. And they've done it. They've gone forward anyway. Well, I do have one bad thing to tell you. All right. Well, when you said that your last, the guy from Canada, you know, died a year and a half later, I will tell you this. Month and a half later, he died. What you just said about people that haven't been attacked. I have not been attacked. So be careful. The other thing I would tell you is there are reasons that I believe that I haven't been attacked. When I ran for office, I did so without taking any money from anybody. I didn't ask for anything from anybody. People tried to influence me and I simply said no. The other thing that I think that I've done correctly in society and life, and I'll just call this luck, is I'm not in debt. And debt is how people get pulled in. So I'm going to say that my wife, when we first got our first letter from somebody that worked inside the office that I was running against, and it basically spelled out all of, I see you're writing that down, so you're going to check my background. That's good. No, I'm actually trying to text Patrick to see, to connect with him here. Keep talking amongst yourselves here while I try to get my next step done. As I was trying to go through this, and I got this, my wife carried this letter in that said from a concerned citizen, and she's holding it by the corner of the envelope. I actually have it right here. But it actually spelled out all the corruption that was happening in the office that I was running for. It was coming from somebody that obviously worked in that. And she thought to myself, this could have anthrax in it. You know, what are you getting yourself into? And then there was another time that somebody spent two and a half hours. He was a Republican donor, big donor. He spent two and a half hours trying to talk me out of running. I explained to him why I wouldn't do that. And then I went to a meeting where a guy was actually ten times more qualified to do the job that I was running for that ran for it before. He was planted by the Republican Party to find out and quantify that I wasn't qualified. Well, after about forty five minutes of conversation with him, he said, clearly you have the aptitude and are more than qualified. But understand that both sides, he says, you better get a heck of a constitutional lawyer because both sides will come after you. So. When I told my wife that, she says, you know what? I have no idea what we've gotten ourselves into. The day your children get pulled into this is the day I will force you to get out. So right now, I think myself, we're lucky. My kids are doing well. They aren't targeted. I haven't been targeted, but because I think I pulled off, I barely did anything on Facebook. I swear, Facebook and LifeLog, you know, the whole drill. The long and the short is my digital footprint isn't really out there. And unfortunately, I think that's what they use against people is their digital footprint. So I feel fortunate. Yes, I feel fortunate that I haven't been targeted. I want to remain that way. My wife is scared that one day I will be. And I said, you know what? As long as my kids are OK and I fight for what's right, that's my goal. Because I do this for the kids. Literally, there was a young man who bought some gold back in twenty two based on some of my direction. He was a work for Ron DeSantis walking campaigns. So I walked with him. We had all this conversation. We had opportunity to talk. He literally bought four coins of gold. He sold three of them so he could put a down payment on his house. So here he is, twenty four years old, and he already owns a house because he bought into gold that theory. Bought it around nineteen hundred, sold it around thirty eight hundred. But the long and the short is he had another guy who had some conversation. He just ran into a friend and they just started talking about this. So he's now put me in contact with this other younger person. So I would talk to younger people about this until I'm blue in the face. That's who needs to carry this message. And that's why I do it. I want our youth to understand it. Keep it from ever happening again. and frankly, position themselves to where they understand it when it does happen to them, because it's going to happen. There you go. You know what? I'm going to bring Karen back in. Let's see what we've got in the private chat here. Hang on a minute. Here we go. Karen, you want to weigh in on this just a second? I'm going to take a break and see if I can get a hold of Patrick, if you guys can talk for just a minute. Yeah, I just commented in the private chat that I also warn people about the concept that if a candidate is attacked, that it's therefore a good candidate. Because they did that with Ryan Kelly. A lot of people believed in Ryan Kelly as a candidate in Michigan because he was quote-unquote attacked. Right. Because he was a J-Six defendant. But I think it was a ruse. And I think they know that people have this theory well the good guys get attacked and therefore anyone who gets attacked is a good guy and we have to vote for that person but i i think that's another form of psyop so we have to be careful you know you can't just use generalizations across the board to make decisions it's a part of discernment earlier we were talking about the jury yes Thankfully, as an example, your expertise in the financial realm is very different from mine. But if we had a conversation, I could probably teach you things about things that I know from my personal experience, and you could certainly teach me from your experience. And that is how iron sharpens iron, in a sense. Absolutely. Absolutely. I have never been more encouraged, especially when you get thrown into a melting pot of a lot of different individuals, how you have a tendency to gravitate towards, and I don't want to say a little bit of a higher cognitive display, but I can talk to lawyers. I can talk to scientists because I've kind of filtered across so much of it because this is all I do now. This is, you know, I was an expert at what I did in my job. This is now my job. I don't work. So I've dug into as many different areas of expertise. And I will say not being an expert in any of them, it's opened the door to where you can have a conversation and listen to the experts and learn so much more based on just what basic platform you you've been able to build through your own information-based tracking and learning. So it's been a lot of fun for that. My wife is scared to death half the time when I go in public because I do end up talking to one or two individuals and we go relatively deep on not only where they're at, but one of the things that I've found in our political realm is that we've got a lot of people that are very good with politics. But I'm going to say less than three percent of them know anything about finance. And when you understand how dynamically intertwined they are, you can realize how easily manipulated our politicians are. So when I have the opportunity and I've been talking about this for since twenty one. You know, I've sat down with people and they look at me and says, I've had a few people say, well, I've never heard it in the scope of politics the way that you are. And they basically dismiss you. And I've had some fun with it. I will tell you early on, it's been interesting stuff, little doom and gloom. So nobody really likes to hear it. And it's ties to politics. and they brush you away. And then today I can have those same conversations with those same people and they'll actually give me some time of day. So it's been fun watching how society has started to embrace it and all the scopes from election fraud to finance, you know, you're specific. It sounds like a lot of stuff in Michigan. My son was born in Michigan. When we moved from Buffalo, New York, talk about a hell hole, sorry. Um, We lived there for a full year. We moved to Detroit, Michigan. And everybody said, why would you want to move there? I didn't want to move there. And when we got there, we lived in and I threw out the community once before, maybe so I don't get tracked. I won't say it again. But Donna said, oh, that's a bad place. You know what? It was in the it was in the lakes region. I had to drive. I called on Kmart for a living. I watched the demise of that organization pretty much right before my eyes. But it was four years of what I would say very fun environment. The lakes regions, we learned how to ski on trash dumps. We love Detroit. You just don't go to Detroit. Michigan was a great state. Michigan is a wonderful state. politically it sucks. But the state itself is wonderful and the people are wonderful. Michigan, you know, our main industry is actually tourism. So people are really friendly. People are usually surprised at how friendly Michiganders, I said that for Karen, Michiganians are, that people from Michigan are typically very friendly and very welcoming and like to talk to people from all over the place and And so it's a great place and the resources and the lakes and rivers and everything. I mean, it is a wonderful place. Absolutely. And again, we loved it there. We just didn't go downtown. And then because I worked in the food industry, again, in corporate America for thirty five years, you know, I had a friend that worked for. At the time, it was, oh, shoot, Quaker Oats. And he had downtown Michigan as a territory. And so this is in the nineties and it was full of the Muslim community even back then. So, you know, when you look at how the whole migration thing happens, how they put people specifically a demographic in an area so they could actually overtake that world with their way of thinking, which slowly migrates and expands outward. It's really, you know, how long has this been going on? I grew up in St. Louis. I have my brother-in-law works for a company and he's like, oh, it's a great company, but now that's been sold to private equity and they're doing a bunch of bad things, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then you talk to them and you find out. Fifty percent of their employees are Bosnian. Okay. Bosnians are hard workers. They're all good people. And, you know, this is this and this is that. And you think to yourself. When did the Bosnian migration come into play? It's the same playbook over and over and over. And I do know that some are able to bring into the environment and they actually contribute to society. But everything that we've seen on the record, basically, is the majority of these people that are brought in from overseas are legitimately put on one plane. an HB-B visa that's actually suppressing wages to all of our current wage earners? Two, they go on to welfare of some state? Or three, are they getting subsidies to bring these people and put them on the salary from our federal government? None of which we all have the answers to, but when you see it based on that... And I heard you say earlier, you know, that these people are doing this and nobody knows what's happening here and nobody knows what's happening there. But as I look at it, that's the way the whole system's been structured. I could be working on gain of function at a university. And you know what, what I'm doing is a minor piece. And then you could be working on gain of function in another university. And what you're doing is a minor piece. But the people above us know that when these two pieces are put together, I can really do some damage. We think we're out there doing the good. And that's the way this entire mechanism has been built. People don't realize that they're even a part of it. You brushed in with the Mason or the Mason areas, you know, and things like that. You have to reach a certain level. But the people at the at the building blocks of it are supporting it. And they have no idea what they're involved in. Well, let's go back to the Muslim movement in the United States. I know a bunch of people who are Muslim and they're absolutely wonderful. In fact, I went to, there's a guy in Dearborn that I know and I absolutely love this guy. He's a young guy. He's just the nicest person you would ever want to meet. Truly welcoming into his restaurants and he's for certain. And when we had a meeting there, he prayed and they prayed for all of the Christian and Jewish brothers and sisters. And we went to several meetings. So when we look into the infiltration and the mechanism, surely they're using every religion to infiltrate and and steal the identity but it's it's uh with with this whole nonsense that's going on we we can go back to the fact that if somebody's breaking the laws of the united states sharia law is not the law of the united states we go back and stop saying well they're muslim you know that's what they do not everybody does that nonsense And the the Arabs for Trump that that I got to meet and know they're the nicest people you ever want to know. In fact, I had a and I'm not saying this is a correction to anyone here. But remember, when somebody goes, it's the Jews, because people do that. Not every person who's Jewish has gone out and done the atrocities committed against the people in Gaza. The people in Gaza, not a lot of people are victims in every walk of life. to being either used or victimized by the people who have actually stolen their, their heritage and their identity and tried to redefine it. So the, we talked at the beginning of the show that if we get rid of all labels and go back to being blind, the blind scales of justice, we get away from all of this, this, you know, uh, bias programmed in biases and race. And, And to to the point that Karen made, if we looked at everybody and said this man did this and you don't know what what nationality is, how tall he is, none of this stuff, but that you look at the actions for what they are and not necessarily the identities that they have created For us to focus on to be biased. Right. So and I don't know exactly when you look at the when you look at the migration of of Islam. I mean, it clearly states kill the kill the infidels. I don't think everybody actually practices that. That sort of thing, but this is going to require a lot of discernment, but one thing about it, the United States was built on the Christian principles, which if you look at our laws are based on Christian principles, the Ten Commandments, and the the rights of the God-given rights that we have. And that's not, you don't go to someone else to get your rights, the government, a pastor, a priest, an imam, anything like that. They're given by God and we're supposed to all be equal and also defend each other's rights. But it is disturbing when you see the And I'm an unapologetic Christian, saved by grace, saved by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as he gives us the gift of salvation because we suck. We've wrecked his creation. I mean, there's no other way to say it. We wrecked God's world. It's our fault, okay? We screwed up. We're sinful. We were born into sin. We didn't even have a choice in this when we were born, okay? But as an identity of human beings, we suck. And the only way that we can walk correctly before God is by accepting his gift of forgiveness because we're going to do something wrong today. We're going to do something wrong tomorrow. That's what I said earlier is, If you don't hate yourself for something you did at least temporarily for what you did yesterday and go, oh, man, I wish I hadn't done that. And then take that knowledge and be repentant. Go, man, I'm never going to do this again and say, OK, switch gears and learn from that. Not going to do it again and ask God for forgiveness. You can drop it right there. It'll never be brought up again and move on. Well, if you've got any Christianity or if you've got any Christianity or conscience at all. Even if you don't do anything about it, it eats you alive. So in my world, that's kind of how I think I've got to fix this or I won't be able to think back. And even to this day, you go, OK, I never did that correct. And for whatever reason, I have a tendency to remember it and think to myself, I should have done that differently. Right. One of the things that I've that I've watched is and what I try to teach my kids is that no matter where you go, ten percent of society is bad. And so when you take ten percent of the police department, they're going to be bad. If you take ten percent of politicians, they're going to be bad. It's just when you continue to reward that ten percent, it becomes a larger percentage. And the one thing about the infidel statement, where I doubt if anybody practices that, but let me just kind of put it to you this way, because I watched a documentary by Ken Burns, and Ken Burns is not a good actor in today's world at all, but he did a documentary back like in two thousand four, two thousand five on Afghanistan. And he showed how, you know, we've been at war with that region for decades. So if you were living in that environment and the United States was known to bomb you, your family, your children, your parents, your grandparents for that long. I'm sorry, I may want to kill me, too. And what was so ironic was that this and my family made fun of me because it was like an hour to an hour and a half segment. And it was like ten different segments. So I watched the whole thing. But the one that was so riveting to me was the farmer in Afghanistan that grew poppy. So when we look at that, we think to ourselves, what is poppy for? It's for heroin. What's going on? Literally during this documentary, they're showing the military standing next to this farmer while he's growing poppy. And Ken Burns is calling their society out for growing poppy, which is then going into heroin. It's coming into the United States. Well, now we can look back and we can see we were a big part of that. But the long and the short is, and I've said this to people and they looked at me like I was nuts. If I was a farmer in Afghanistan, And I had the land and the crop of poppy, and I had no idea where it was going, but I knew I had a business and I had a buyer. And I couldn't grow anything else on that land. And I have people protecting me to grow it. Would you not choose to grow poppy as well? We have to take a step back and understand what drives the psyche of the people that we are disrupting across the world. before we can actually sit down with them and have a good conversation. Somewhat of empathy, but somewhat of a caution because we've literally been trying to kill them for decades. So I don't imagine they probably don't like me either. And it's not even necessarily us. I mean, look at what our deep state, I mean, what you just said about the CIA and everything. It is the bad actors that have used the United States. It's in the politicians. They're not representing us. I don't want to go kill anybody. I want the killing to stop. And it's like, of course, they're going to think that because the bad actors have taken our identity. And, you know, even our identity, they've taken it and they've compromised it and such. So, you know, it's like, you're, you're absolutely right. Is that, you know, if, if, if we don't start stepping in the way of this danger and it is our problem, we are our brother's keepers. And I don't think God makes mistakes. You know, I really, I don't think God makes mistakes. Um, So we've got a job to do here. I wanted to show you guys something. This is kind of an amazing thing. If we've got a minute, and I don't mean to derail this, but to listen to, let's see if I can get it to play here a minute. To listen to, it's a short, how people. I don't know how I've never heard. This could change your mind about. I don't know how I've never. Hang on. This could change your mind about. to listen to the programming that our nation has gone through and realize the only answer to this is to go back to God Almighty. We are not going to step around this because the seeping into our nation of really bad things is something we're going to have to face. So I'm going to see if you guys can hear this. I hope you can hear this. I could hear it earlier, yeah. You could hear it earlier? Okay, listen to this. This is amazing. It wounds the heart of the father and causes chaos on the earth. You see, abortion is actually the sacrament of Satan. Because abortion says, you must die so I can live. But Christ says, no, I must die so you can live. And chooses to enter human history in a uterus of all locations to redeem mankind from their sins. This is why Peter Kreeft, a Catholic philosopher, is still alive today. said, spoke more prophetically on the issue of abortion than any Protestant I've ever heard. And he said, don't you know, church, abortion is the demonic parody. This is interesting. They just kind of knocked my feed for talking about abortion. Watch this. This is going to be interesting. See if we can get it to go up. Of the Eucharist. Demonic parody of the Eucharist is what he's saying. This is my body. But with the opposite blasphemous meaning. Do you think it's a coincidence that the central phrase of the entire abortion industrial complex and the culture of death today are the same words of our savior in the first communion? This is my body. And because Planned Parenthood is not only the largest abortion provider in the world, they're the largest provider of transgender drugs. They call both of those mutilations healthcare. What do they call abortion? Reproductive. Correct. They call them both. So if they can't get the babies in the womb, they'll get them outside the womb. They defend both practices using bodily autonomy arguments. I'm going to stop here so that we can talk so I don't get dinged by YouTube for whatever it is. But think about how things have been twisted across the globe. We're going to have to question everything. And the only answer is coming back to God. I'm going to finish this now. If I want to kill what's inside of my body, who cares? Because the serpent told me in Genesis three, ye shall be baptized. Abortion is the sacrament of the religion secular progressivism so when christ says this is my body i go break it for you now take any remembrance of me guys all human conflict is ultimately theological it is not a coincidence that the argument for abortion is quoting the words of our savior that's so powerful let me know what you think of the comments isn't that amazing I thought that was pretty, pretty, I'm not sure what's happening to Patrick. So I'm going to, we're going to have to go to that tomorrow, but isn't that amazing? The twisting of identities and words and sucking people in, even when, even when you look at, you know, the different religions that are on the planet, going back to Afghanistan and on across the globe, the conflicts we have, it has all been twisted. And when we go forward, we're going to see people that have made some really bad mistakes, right? And we're going to have to do what Jesus did if they truly are repentant and have seen it and they've turned around to doing something better instead of being disruptive. There's going to be a lot of people that are going to have a lot to deal with that they've participated in and they didn't know it. Well, one of the things, and again, my son's twenty eight and he taught me the term NPC. Non-participating characters. And when you great example, watch a movie, you've got your main characters. When you see what's happening in society today, you've got your main characters. When you go back and look at the Civil War, there was always the term, the three percenters. Three percent of the people knew what they were fighting for. Everybody else was literally just an NPC. And what I've chosen to do, and obviously by the three of us, and there's a lot more, we're choosing not to be the NPC. We're choosing to be somebody that's going to try and institute change. And to your point, And I look at, you know, Christianity and I see to believe in Christianity, you have to believe that there's a devil. So there's conflict from day one with that respect. So we have to be able to be cognizant of that and see what it is they're telling us. Because based on some of the things that I've read is it says that the devil has to tell you what they're going to do. And when you see that, when you understand that, And then you hear that, you can kind of anticipate and prepare for it. So those are the things that I'm trying to educate my kids on and their friends on because they literally are out there. And I'm trying to tell everybody that I'm around, do not be the NPC. Don't be that guy that's just going to be in the background that's going to get killed in a video game because that's what happens to them. You can either stand up, win the game, or die fighting. And the game can't be played without people that are main characters. So, and again... That's a great way to frame that. I love that. What's your thoughts, Karen? Well, I think I've been posting about recently that we have some problems with our youth in this country. It's... Within my lifetime, it's gotten increasingly frightening. The degree of disrespect for life and lack of kindness and such. You know, the violence that these kids are perpetuating, the foul language that they're using, the bullying being much more serious than it was even when I was being bullied. And there's a lack of respect for who we are as God's children. I think that's really important. You and I have talked about that before. If you see yourself, yourself and others around you as one of God's people and that Christ died for you for the remission of your sins and for those around you, you look at the world in a different way. You're more willing to accept forgiveness from others and And expect the same of yourself if they ask you for forgiveness. But we've gotten out of the practice of it. So just on Sunday, I had made a mistake on Saturday. I knew it when I did it, but I didn't put a stop to myself in the moment. And... my conscience like you were just saying my conscience got the better of me and i had told my mom about it my mom checked me too she very she just said oh i couldn't have done that and that stung more a little bit more than just myself my own conscience because my mother taught me not to be that person and to hear that sadness in her voice affected me even more and so i decided that night okay I'm going to rectify it. But first, I have to ask God for forgiveness because it was a really small and stupid thing. But still, it was something that bothered me. And it's any time that you know you've done something wrong and your conscience is telling you such, God knows. So I asked God to forgive me. And then I had to let go of some of that guilt. and uh shame the sense of shame that i had wasn't done with it you know i'm still ashamed that i did it but i feel much much better the burden was lifted because christ did that for me but then i took it to another step on sunday i said to my husband i want to tell the congregation what i did We're not doing this on a regular basis. I know of one congregation that I've been to in my lifetime that regularly, every Sunday, people are asking for prayers, whether it's somebody that was sick or they did something wrong. They don't have to tell everybody what it was. The Bible says we are to confess our sins one to another. We don't do that as a society. And as it happened, my husband was teaching the lesson at a second Corinthians. And right at the end of that particular chapter, that's what was being discussed. So it was really timely. I stood in front of everybody and I said, here is what happened. I am taking steps to rectify it. And I did. I had to reach out to a stranger and say, what can I do to make remedy of this? Because I needed to do that. And the answer was, no, you're good. It's over. You know, don't worry about it. And I thought that might be the case because it would be more of an inconvenience for them to address it any further. But I still had to take that step because I asked for forgiveness. I felt better. I talked to other people about it, talked to my husband about it, too. And then I went to the congregation and they said, look, we make mistakes. We're told to talk to each other about that because now they all know Karen's not perfect. If Karen's not perfect and I'm not perfect, but we can lean on each other and confess, you know, even if it's a small thing, they know that I feel comfortable with their love for me as a congregation to still accept me for who I am and to forgive me in a sense that they don't have to. But we know who you are. You're a good person. It's okay. I can then move forward even stronger. And we don't do that often enough. Because when you do that, and you remember, like I said, Christ did that death and all that sacrificing, he went to death. where his father couldn't be and destroyed death. He overcame it for your sins and those people around you, everybody. If he loves you that much, you ought to have the humility and love for yourself and your fellow man because they all deserve that. And when you do that, it checks your ego. And we all need an ego check from time to time. If I see somebody else asking for forgiveness, I'm humbled too. Because when did I last do that myself? I don't go into a little private box and tell some priest. That's not his job. That's Christ's job. That's my father, my creator in heaven who's supposed to be listening to this. And thankfully, I have a husband I'm equally yoked to that I can lean on and say, look, I did this thing yesterday and it's really been bothering me. And as it happened, he had a similar circumstance. It wasn't his fault, but he also undirected by something. And it was just wild how it was almost the same thing. I'll tell you about it later. But so it was a it was a fine opportunity for us to to learn this lesson. And, you know, I got to thinking a lot more about that, because when you're humbled and grateful, you're not hateful anymore. And you're not divisive. And you're not judgmental because that's not your job, that's God's. So when I see somebody that says, Trump is, you know, I wore my hat the other day where it says, Jesus is my savior, Trump is my president. And this woman says to me kind of sadly, you wear that hat proudly? And I said, yes, I sure do. And I thought about it after a while. I really should have said, but you have a problem with Jesus? Trump is our president. Why would you have a problem with the factual statement? Is it because the hat is red and it's symbolic of a movement that you don't believe in? I was curious. She was just so disgusted about it. And I'm like, why would you be upset because I said Jesus is your savior? I didn't judge her. She judged me. But I didn't judge her because I know she's a victim of the psyops. She's got a veil in front of her face. And that's the thing. That's really important. You know, I hound the Republican Party, but I know there's good people in there who are just doing what they feel is their role to play right now, and they believe in that. I'm not judging them. I might think they're wrong, and I might kind of shout about it sometimes, but I'm not judging them for it. I think that's really important because we have to have the ability to forgive other people, right? and allow them the opportunity to forgive themselves when they realize how they've been duped. That's going to be awesome. Well, we go back to the structure and the law. I mean, when you take foreign money in our elections, you are a lawbreaker. And if you stand with somebody who has, let's just talk about an accomplice. If somebody is the trigger man and pulls the trigger and drops somebody on the spot, and you're driving the getaway car, you're involved. You may not have pulled the trigger, but you're an accomplice. If people stand right now in the Republican Democrat parties, because they take foreign money in the elections, they have done nothing to stop. They have done nothing as a party to stop this. They have repeatedly failed president Trump. I don't want to be in that category personally, because he is the duly elected president of the United States. And, you know, and, And it's like when you look at this and how everything he's done has been by the law, he hasn't broken the law. It's the people on the outside that have broken the law. And we see people that go, you know how many people I've heard say, oh, Trump is the antichrist. Look at this. Look at that. It's like, yeah, I am looking at this. And I'm trying to weigh things each way. But if you actually look at what he's doing, he hasn't broken the law. He's done everything by the letter of the law. He's not gaming the system. He's not cheating here or there. If he would have, they would have caught him already and strung him up. If he had done something wrong, or inappropriate with Epstein. He would have been done, okay? They would have bled him out immediately on the spot and he would have been done, right? Now, do I think that he's perfect? He's a human being. No, every one of us is imperfect. There's going to be mistakes along the way. And if people make mistakes along the way and they learn from it, you've almost got a better fighter than somebody who has lived a Pollyanna life because they've been in it, they've seen it, they've hopefully had a come to Jesus moment, and now they know how to fight it. And I'm just thankful. I'd like to shake his hand someday and just say thank you. Thank you, President Trump, General Flynn, Admiral Rogers. Look at how much General Flynn has been attacked. He's an infiltrator. The guy's the smartest guy in the room. I don't care what room you're in. He's the smartest one there. I'm sorry. I want to call Karen, Karen, but I heard a different name. No, it is Karen. She is actually Karen. I'd like to kind of add to something that Karen said and kind of go a little against it. I get that you're not satisfied with how the children or kids are reacting today. And I want to say that I've got as negative as I can sound on the financial piece. I believe it's for the right or reason. I look at kids today as if I and I say this and I'm part of the Republican Party, by the way. So I am the evil, the evil guy here. But the long and the short is if I've got somebody that's sixty years old and I got somebody that's twenty years old, I'll talk to that twenty year old a hundred times over the sixty year old. And one of the things that I see is it kind of goes back to what I saw in Afghanistan. And I look at what we've done to the Middle East. We have bombarded them for an entire lifetime plus. So then you have to take a step back and you have to say, okay, what have my kids been through? They've been bombarded for a lifetime, our education system. They've been bombarded for a lifetime. The media, they've been bombarded for a lifetime. The cultural send that we've offered, we've slowly gone from what used to be G-rated to PG-rated to R-rated. What we do away with no ratings at all. So the long and the short is we've taught the kids to be who they are. The unfortunate part there is that the parenting, because they're both having to work now to pay for ends meet, we've allowed the establishment to control our children. The sad part is, but the good part, some of the things that I watch as, you know, I'm sorry, Charlie Kirk was assassinated. And I had people that thought I was crazy for years that are actually asking me to talk to their kids because they couldn't help them understand what happened to Charlie Kerr, help them understand that there's a better reason. I felt pride in that. The fact that they're not listening, but then they realized maybe they were is phenomenal. But then when you take a step back and what has actually happened with that movement, they've now gone to church. And as I said earlier, my daughter and her fiance are going to a church. Literally, it's a non-denominational. I grew up as what I'd like to say is a mutt. I was born Protestant, went through the system. My mom moved to St. Louis. Dad and mom got divorced. Long and the short is she didn't like this church. She didn't like this church. I went to a different assortment of churches throughout my life. I dated mostly Catholic girls, but the long and the short is I married a Catholic girl. And I promised to raise my children Catholic. That's part of the gig. We got married in the Catholic church. And as I mentioned, kind of through the times we're listening to, I like this person. I didn't like this person for different reasons. But when you look at it, as I mentioned earlier, Each denomination appears to be aligned with the government. And what I see today is more and more kids are going to church. But you know what? Watching my wife and even the conversations when we leave their church, she struggles because it's not Catholic. But she's also very aware of what the Catholic Church is doing. So she's able to accept it. So to your point, being able to accept it, it's hard for her because that's how she grew up. It's a little bit easier for me because I was a mutt. Was it related to Christianity? But the long and the short is the kids are going to church. They're fighting against the establishment churches, but they're going to church. And for me, one step at a time, just like everything else, racism was terrible. It got better with generations. This unfortunately has been built on pillars of generations ago. And unfortunately, it's going to take time to unbuild it. So I see the youth as a lot better. I do see a lot of bad things. But again, I've been bombing them with bad things. And I've taught them everything that they regurgitate back to me, which is the sad part. Thanks for that perspective. What was that, Karen? I thanked him for that perspective. I don't have kids, so I'm not in it. But I just the things that have come across my view. In fact, recently one, it was a parent of a fifth grader. She's worried that her daughter is sick. is or will soon be suicidal. And she's begging other parents on social media in the school. She says, I have names. I'm not going to list them publicly because I'm not going to do that. But I will be going to parents if I don't hear the parents come to me. And she's even talking to the point of lawsuit. She says, I may have to homeschool her if it doesn't stop next year. And people like me are like, why bother waiting? Like doing yourself all summer, get going, do that. Why, why are you letting her face this? But some of the, some of the parents that saw the post were answering, is it my kid? Here's my name. Is it my kid? I want to know because I'm going to put a stop to that if it is. And another said, I just asked my son about it. And he said he's going to look out for her. He hasn't seen it directly himself. But if he does, he'll step in. And so there is encouragement that comes along with that. But still, it's like I wasn't suicidal when I was bullied. because of the parenting and the faith that I had. And eventually I got to the point where I said to myself, I know I'm a good person. Why do I care what these other people say? And the bullying stopped instantly. It was immediate. By the time I went to school the next day, whenever that decision was made, it was like I was the antelope that was pronging in front of the lions. And they're like, well, we're not going to bother with her. She's in good shape. Let's look for the one that's lame or sick or old. And they went to the next girl down the line, you know, but I don't know if you're familiar, but the state of Florida is now actually in direct lawsuits against social media for creating suicides. There was a fifteen year old that actually through G chat was actually told to kill himself. They had the entire train. They had everything out there. They now have added the shooting that happened at the FSU probably within the last six months to They've now added that to the case as well. And I think what we grew up with was bullying. What we grew up with was we were outside, we came home, and our parents saw something happen to us that day. What we don't see today is they're on their phone. They're on their phone, and you know what? I'm to blame as much as anybody else that society gave us this, but until we realize that big tech is doing this, until we realize that we need to pull big tech down, and again, I think that's all part of a financial undermining that Trump's got a plan for as well. But until we see that happen, this is going to continue to occur. And as I mentioned, I'm the treasurer for our Republican Party, and I have a think slide at the end of every one of my numbers. And last night, great example, Byron Donalds, he's endorsed by Donald Trump. Sometimes you wonder, why does he endorse this person versus that person? What's his plan? You know what? I've spoken to Byron Donalds directly. Not happy with a lot of his answers. Literally not happy. I get a text from him two days ago that talks about a guy named Fishback. He's running. Fishback is going to pull away AI data centers. Fishback's not going to do this. Fishback's not going to do that. So we have a guy that comes to our meetings who's representing Donald's. I pull him aside and I said, I want you to pay real close attention. I showed him the text that I got from his campaign. And I said, I want you to pay real close attention to my think slide that I'm going to put out there tonight. And I explained it to him. And normally the room's older. We had a few younger people in there last night. But literally my think slide was this. I had a picture of... Um, two thousand one space odyssey, the picture of Hal's eye, the computer. Yeah. Yeah. I said, for you people that are in the room that may know what this is, this was written in nineteen sixty nine. This was put in the theaters in nineteen sixty nine. And until you realize that AI has been in our society a whole lot longer than you can imagine, our government just now needs to monetize it. I said, so here's a picture of Keanu Reeves coming out of the pod. with all the wires connected to them. And I said, and this is your data center. And I held up the cell phone just like this. And unfortunately, a cell phone is good because it's actually helped me gain a lot of access knowledge, a cell phone, an iPad, the internet. What I said to the entire room, until you realize, until you understand, I don't need a data center. If AI is written with unbiased approach, here is your data center. That data center is literally Meta, Google, Amazon, and every other bad acting big tech organization that is now collecting your data so they could then sell it to you later and or sell it to large organizations. And so I said, until you understand that these people will drain us of all of our resources, drain us of all of our water, and then put us on a subscription to even access AI, you all need to wake up and stop this today. And I looked directly at the Byron Donalds rep, and I said, and that's my message tonight. So he gave me his business card. He said, call him. We'll talk about it. Until they walk away from this thing, I'm not talking about it. I will say there's two things that I look at in the broad scope of things. Nuclear weapons are bad. Governments got together to put curtails on it. Bio weapons are bad. I'd like to think that we put directions and holds on it, but it appears that the United States is probably one of the worst actors. That needs to be stopped. Gain of function needs to be stopped. It needs to be stopped at the government level. AI is just as dangerous, if not more dangerous, than the other three before it even occurred. And that's where I think when Trump's trying to take control of the AI environment, that's what he means. And I really hope so, because I had another individual, we're talking about property taxes here. Everybody wants to get rid of property taxes. You know what? I ran for property appraiser. I can tell you, I didn't believe in property taxes either. I own my house. Why do I have to rent my land? The long and the short is, well, we can't get rid of property taxes. It funds our government. What are we going to do? And even people that are smart, that I hang with, that understand what's going on, I said, so the reality is, yes, our government has to have all this money because they do this. It funds schools, fire departments, all the stuff that we're emotionally driven by. But what do we also know? That the administrative bloat is terrible. And I use the school examples as my example. So this would be a straight line. And here are like, it's hard for me to do it here, but just a five percent increase is a teacher's salary. Okay. Then you got like a twenty percent increase and some administrative, but mostly principals and vice principals. So those people are going up. They're a higher cost. And then you see the administrative bloat that is seventy percent growth. Okay. So when they say, I need these tax dollars. And I said, you can look at it in a school district. You could look at it at the deep state. You could look at it at all government levels. What we should be using AI for unbiasedly is to instead of thinking that my tax dollars go to X, Y and Z, we should use AI to remove the administrative bloat, have that remove seventy percent of all of our costs in government. And then we can reduce all of our taxes. Again, I think Trump may be trying to get rid of federal taxes entirely through the whole Federal Reserve thing, but the long and the short is everything takes time. I do believe that if we used it smartly, thought outside the box of tradition, used AI to remove administration, as we hear, if you use a computer and you use the same technology over and over and over again, we can do that with AI. It's scary. It's sad. But I also look at COVID. And I think to myself, the vaccines were not good. And if they really do what I unfortunately think they can do, AI may be a necessary evil to actually offset jobs that we won't have in the future. So what's really going on? I have no idea. But these are all just JB crazies. I think we've got a very exciting future ahead of us. Because You know, I do believe that God is directing this whole thing and we've asked him and he's faithful. And so we may have some bumpy roads ahead of us, no doubt about that. And that's good. Have you ever watched or read all the books from the Chronicles of Narnia? There's one book in there where there was a character called Eustace and Eustace had his eyes on the dragon's treasure, fell asleep on it and became a dragon. Well, when he finally got sick of being alone and being a dragon and realized that, The treasure, the gold, everything wasn't really what it was cracked up to be. Aslan, which is the allegorical character of Jesus, came and used his claws and tore all the scales off. And he got back to being Eustace, the person. And it was painful having all of this evil that he had clearly walked right into because he thought that was the way to happiness. And when he got done, he was a little bit raw. He was a little bit tender around the edges and such. But he ended up being quite a person who would stand for justice and truth. And he helped so many people because he knew that he had been in the same spot they had been. And he came out of it. Now think about that with the rest of us when we come out of all of this evil that's around us. the evil intentions that people met through our alleged healthcare, which is nothing more than a death camp. We thought it was a good thing at one point in time, all of us did. There wasn't anybody that was born into this system that came out of the womb and said, healthcare is nonsense, it's bad, and it's killing people. You have to walk it to find these things out. Doesn't mean you're stupid, doesn't mean I'm stupid, doesn't mean anything like that. The enemy is very cunning. He knows how to get to us. He knows the right words to say. And that's probably because if you've been taken in at some point in time, it doesn't mean you're stupid. It means you have a good heart and you don't necessarily think the way evil thinks. And so as we come out of this, there's going to be a lot of people that have done some really bad things. They were sucked in. The tools around us, most of the time, they're not either good or bad. It's the people or the evil intentions behind it that can take something that was supposed to be meant for good and turn it evil. With the AI, the AI is going to depend entirely by who's moderating it. If there's an unmoderated AI, which we run on moderated AI, We've taught how to install it, how to run it. It's going to be up to you to do the research to determine whether something is true or not. Ask the questions. Get to the bottom of it. And it may take a while. You may not have an instant answer. But something that's moderated is always going to have something that is not necessarily a pure form injected in it. So you've got to take everything and question everything. Pretty much follow the money. I think that's why BNN hasn't been attacked. We've lost connectivity once in a while because they'll mess up our ability to deliver it to the end user. And that's where they'll get us. We can keep it up. It's the end user or the path to get to them that sometimes gets compromised. But I don't think we've been touched because I haven't taken a dime. Nobody on here has taken a dime for what we've done. So it falls under a free speech. If I would have sold one coffee or done anything like that, boom, it's compromised right there. But we all come on here, you know, John and Karen and myself, just to teach people of what we know as we're digging through the the, you know, the cesspool, the garbage heap of information that's all out there to lead us astray. But I guess I want to make sure everybody knows nobody's going to blame you if you didn't know something and you got into it unintentionally. It doesn't mean you're a bad person. What it means is that you're acknowledging now Oh, my gosh. What did we get involved in? We've all done it. There's not one person that hasn't been duped into something that walks the planet because there's so much of it. But I don't know. I go back to that. We're being vetted right now. So with the information that John and Karen shared. and all the other good people that have been out there talking to us, what are you going to do next? Are you just going to stop or are you going to go in there and fight to help other people know the truth too, unwavering whether people are going to tell you, you're a conspiracy theorist, you're wrong, you're this or that, or walk away from you? Are we going to continue walking forward in truth, in integrity, with virtue, just like our founding fathers did. Because we're at the point of revolution right now. It is a revolution. We've had many of them. But this one is for keeps. One of the messages I try to bring forward, and again, I deal with this internally in my household every day. My wife fears me going to public. If she's with us, she fears what I may say. But she's now grown so comfortable with it, she either, one, stays there and just doesn't really say anything, or slowly just tries to step away. But she has learned my terminology is constructive conflict. Every time I literally bring up, to your point, anything that's on the realm of a conspiracy, In my opinion, it draws almost immediate conflict Oh, yeah. But if you can move through that and articulate it in a structure that people can then start to understand, that constructive conflict may not happen overnight. But if you continue to engage in those individuals instead of hiding from them, you slowly begin to get somebody else that's on your bandwagon. Great example, there's a, in twenty twenty one, so January twentieth, or Jan, December the thirty first of twenty twenty after the election was stolen, we had a small gathering here for New Year's Eve. I had probably six men sitting around on my pool deck because it's Florida, of course, having a drink or two, and I literally went down the path of something you said earlier. We're going to watch history in the making. I was the only guy that even thought like this, but I laid it out to where Trump was doing everything legally. Legalities take time. Everything that we're going to see, as crazy as I may sound, legally over time, you're going to begin to understand what I'm saying. I'm sorry, that was six years ago. And I will tell you, one person moved away. It wasn't because of me, thank goodness, but they moved away. His wife works for General Dynamics. They would have never seen it the way I see it. But the other people that were in the room are now coming to me, asking me questions. It's a slow process, just like I see with the kids. Grab them, educate them, because then they can become the non-participating. They can go from an NPC to somebody that's now participating. My goal in life is to actually turn people in from being NPCs to being somebody that's going to carry the message. That's what we need is people that are strong enough to carry the message. That's great. And, you know, to your point, too. It's the structure. We don't go after people. We go after the structure and truth and bring the receipt. I want to show you something that when I was in the Anon networks, you know, the research networks, it... There was a very well done channel on Rumble, and it's still probably there, called the Funky Buddha. And Funky Buddha put out videos that were exposing the Epstein files, as well as the files that Anything that went back to the structure that showed the Luciferian structure that has infiltrated our world. It's a structure. It's not random. When we think of evil, evil is smart, but it's also dumb. It's predictable. It's very predictable when you figure out the predictability of what evil does. It doesn't create anything. all it does is regurgitate stuff and it repeats old stupid stuff that it's done before because it really, it really can't create. Okay. So, so that, that's kind of, that's kind of the deal. Well, this is a channel that I, I follow the skiff. I follow him as well. I love, I don't know who this person is or people. A lot of times it's a group of people that have these informative channels. Well, this is the skiffs rumble channel. And if you want to get your eyes open, this is like funky Buddha. This is the, the, you know, things go think people get sick of things and they move on to other things. That's why they continue to morph into other identities to get the message across because we like new stuff. Okay. I absolutely love what the skiff puts out and it's, it's pretty hard hitting. But just like Funky Buddha was and some of the other ones. But if you want to find some stuff out about the satanic network that traffics children, goes into assassinations, all sorts of things, this isn't a bad one to pass on to people who just can't get their arms around what's actually happening. And I truly believe that when all of it comes out, even the, even the stuff, even the people that are the toughest who have seen things that no human being should have to see that, that no human should have to see like the stuff that, that Fiona Barnett talks about. If you want to see some, some brutal stuff, I mean, that's brutal. Do you know, do you know the stuff that she's talked about? I don't know the name, but unfortunately, my wife was telling me about the child sex trafficking back in two thousand eighteen. I was like, I don't want to hear it. So honestly, nothing surprises me anymore. Well, she was trafficked and she was trafficked and forced to watch the rituals of what they did. Her story is is like so many others and and things that people have experienced or seen and that sort of thing. But they came in and they literally decapitated a whole bunch of babies and such. And it was a blood orgy that they did and such. And she talks about it. And she was forced as a child to, in fact, take one guy, took one of the heads, hold it up in front of her and forced her to take a bite out of it. Hmm. This stuff is going on and I understand how hard it is to look at this and to have to face it. But you know what? Personally, I take the job that God gave us very seriously. We are our brother's keepers. We are. We're responsible to stand in front of this. And honestly, if you can't stand and actually look at it, that's okay. That job is not meant for everybody. But the people that are to be put in place to run this nation and make a change have got to be tough enough to face these things head on and eliminate this scourge off the planet. This guy right here is doing what Funky Buddha has done. Kathy O'Brien, Fiona Barnett, and many other people that really talk about what's going on behind the scenes. If you've got the stomach to watch it, I would encourage you to go ahead and do it. Let me ask you a question, because I've spoken to now some politicians that understand the origins of COVID, created by our Department of Defense, all the things that are out there, everything, truth, truth, truth, truth. And I look at them and I say, Great. And as you know, based on your early conversation on the whole Anon movement, there's going to be a percentage of it that'll never come out. They've told us that because it's so bad. So what you just said, that piece probably will never come up. And that's my opinion. I may be wrong. But I asked politicians specifically on COVID, the lady running for governor for Florida. She's just kind of down the pack. Nobody knows who she is, but she understands the origin of COVID. It was created on our universities. All this other stuff picked up, moved to Wuhan, blah, blah, blah. And I said, so let's say you win. I love it. Great. And you sit down and you've got a bunch of legal teams working for the government. And they say, you cannot bring this forward because it will bankrupt our nation. Everybody that took the jab that now knows that the vaccine was there to kill you, what are you going to do? You're going to get in a class action lawsuit and you're going to sue the federal government. Either the federal government shuts it down or they literally don't let even the good politicians tell us the truth. So I asked her and I ask each of you because I struggle with this moment every day. How do we bring this forward so we can never let it happen again to where it just doesn't crush our society. Because literally, it can crush our society. You think suicides are high today. Think about the dad that told his kids they had to get their vaccines. Think about the parents that told friends and family they had to do this. Think about what we talked about in a conscience If people are good, which we do believe majority of them are, they were all psyoped into this situation. Does the government move forward and tell us the truth and at to what level? What do you guys think about that? Well, I know what Donna thinks. Donna has talked about the importance of the spiritual battle and about offering some... grievance counseling sort of things because like i said i adjusting the same kind of concept people are going to have to be able to forgive themselves and forgive other people and you can't do that if your ego is really high you've got to be able to humble yourself And, and, but also not to the point where you lose who you are, where you're so weak that you feel no hope for life. There has to be some kind of encouragement. And I see Trump doing that on a regular basis. Dan, you know, in his memes. You know, there's a lot of entertainment in the way that Trump presents things. And I think I think he does that because he's trying to find a balance for the mental health of the country. So I think that I think there is a acknowledgement by the good guys that. That they have to find that balance and they're doing their best to at once seek justice and a slow enough rollout of truth, but a fast enough rollout of truth while also balancing what the nation can handle. And like I said earlier, with Trump saying things like Democrats, those things are tests, you know, and he was talking about leech. Those things are tests. You know, he would say things that would get a crowd to kind of look at him funny and get quiet. And then the next week he'd say the same thing. And because they spent the last week looking into it, they're outraged and they're telling him to his face at the rallies. You're wrong. Boo. You know, and now he knows that. That the people are figuring things out. There's enough people discerning that they can help the rest of the country adapt. And, you know, Donna, she knows more about the child sacrifice and those kinds of things than I do. I'm not interested in seeing it. I've seen some things and it was enough for me. I know it exists. And I think if I was asked to participate in some function that would help rescue these kids in some form or fashion, if I was capable, I would jump on board to do that because I think it's important. Well, there's actually a lot of discussion that the FBI has been slow walking so much other stuff because they've literally been going out to try and save the kids that have been trafficked under the Biden regime. for so long before they go after the key players. And because they know that that sacrifice unfortunately would live. And again, that comes from my wife. You know, I watch it. I love the people that say, we need people to go down now. We need, you know, prosecutions now. Well, there's a definite plan here. And patience, unfortunately, is a virtue for everybody. And there's a lot of people that just don't have the patience. I dropped a bombshell on somebody the other day because I literally found something out there that showed how kids certain ages were being released in the Ozarks for hunting parties. And then you see, okay, well, that's just north of Arkansas where the Clintons grew up. And then you see, and I'm sorry, a lot of people may think Josh Hawley may be good. I don't know whether he is or not, but this is Missouri. Josh Hawley is trying to cover up a lot of this stuff too. What's going on? Is this real? I dropped that a bombshell on somebody the other day and they just looked at me like I was literally nuts. But we see this and we turn our heads because we don't like it. But this is something that we definitely have to bring forward to stop. to make the citizens so disgusted. And when they say, how do you bring America together? You got the Democrats, you got the Republicans. How do you bring them together? I'm sorry, you have to show everybody the atrocities that both sides have done to get we the citizens, I don't care what party we're on, to see it. And that scares me, but I think it's a necessary evil. Yeah, I'm going to continue to, I'm not having a, Significant, let's see, solution. I'm not seeing a significant link here to, oh, it's the Mouthy Buddha, not the, that's how I can find it. Good thing to get a, see, this is a good thing. It's a good thing to make mistakes when you're online because then you can own up to it. It's Mouthy Booty. It's not Funky Buddha. And hang on one second. I'm going to show you. I think Mouthy Booty does a good job. And if you want to start out slow. One of the shows that I might want to do is literally on AI. And people talk about Palantir. And you referenced movies. And everybody talks about Palantir and how it was brought in by the Lord of the Rings and its nefarious activities and what it was all about. If you go back to the whole Anon part conversation, you know, past proves present. You know, all the things that they talk about. Future proves past. Okay. How can you see all this stuff in the future? And when you understand what Palantir was, how it was created and the AI functions that are out there, I literally think, and I can't stand Alex Karp, and people don't like Peter Thiel, but I've dug up some stuff on Peter Thiel, which is amazing. I could probably turn that into my next session with you guys, just talking about some of the premise with AI, how long it's literally been around, and what's going on with it today. Right. So this is what it is. It's mouthy booty, not funky. And this is the channel. If you want a very soft... Intro to what's going on. This is, this is, uh, he does a pretty good job here. She does a pretty good job. I don't know who this person is, but when you get into like Tara Mar and, um, which is what the elites did is they, they, you know how they've avoided prosecution. They actually decided to create or call all of our oceans. And, and such, which is international water. No, no, they've, they've turned it into a country. So they say we're a citizen of Taramar and won't be prosecuted. And so when you look at somebody say like Ghislaine Maxwell, that gal right there, who is, uh, uh, Epstein's cohort, she was a, uh, submarine pilot and the amount of stuff that happens under the water is pretty shocking. I've watched a lot of these videos, but they were years and years ago that I watched these. And I think that it's, this is a great introduction. I'll post this channel on Telegram and X for everybody. And I'll post the skiff too, because I think it's important for us to, you know, if you don't have a stomach and you don't want to know, I don't remember anything out of any of these videos that were, that were down the rabbit hole as far as I've gone, you know? Well, one of the things that I thought was kind of interesting, you bring up the whole sea. Here we are wanting to go to outer space, but we've really never looked at the bottom of our oceans. Yeah. Why is that? So when I watched, and it was really kind of wild, they speak about maritime law. Maritime law is a superseding law over all jurisdictions. Well, how did that become? Well, is that derived by London? I don't know where it all came from, but maritime law derives all that. So meanwhile... Trump is blowing up drug boats that are coming across the water, and they're saying we have no right to do that. We have no jurisdiction. But based on maritime law, which nobody wants to bring up except for random people that we find on the Internet, based on maritime law, any ship... that is in international waters without a flag of origin, without a country flag of origin, is automatically deemed a pirate ship, and it's at the will of whoever wants to do whatever they want to do to it. So even when they say it's crimes against humanity, Trump would have won in every court of law that that was deemed a pirate ship, no country of origin, and based on maritime law, he had sole right to do everything he did. You want to hear something amazing that I'm going to add on to that? What they did through these international treaties and such is they have made every state has got, they went ahead and they did inland ports and the roads became part of those inland ports, which have given them the ability to transport different materials. And what we would look at is how could they possibly do this? Right. But every state has inland ports and inland port roads. Now throw that into Admiralty law and it complicates things even further, but it also unravels the way to get out of this. Well, it enables the bad actors and they're using this as a port to get into our states. Well, what's really crazy is it, my wife turned me onto Twitter at a bad time, probably September of, of, and I fell into a huge rabbit hole. I wasn't working. I just dug into stuff. And literally during basically October through February, you know, Biden took office in February. I believe. Well, yeah. Well, and again, if you go back to a lot of stuff there, the whole thing they did ever since even Obama could be rewritten as illegal, but again, They literally used Twitter as a filter worldwide, and I was able to stumble on certain people that I followed that were actually using Dropbox on Twitter to collect evidence. And to this day, I don't know if it's true. I'm going to tell you right now it's probably not. But I literally found that, and this was before Mitch McConnell was identified as a bad actor, Mitch McConnell's wife ran all of the ports in the United States. So one of the things that says always follow the wives, his wife, an origin of Chinese basically, is running all of the ports in the United States. Meanwhile, we got all this stuff going on in Georgia. And I find a document, it's being dropped down through Dropbox, because these things are out there for about an hour or two, maybe a day, until somebody can pull them down. And I'm reading a contract where it shows that the United States government sold the Port of Savannah to China. President Trump stood in front of China being able to buy the port in the L.A. port, I believe. And so, you know, look at what he's done. And, man, everybody be thankful. Karen just said that Mr. Riveter is home for lunch. So I'll let you come on a minute, say the last few words, and then John and I can keep talking for a little bit here. But go ahead, Karen. Oh, just that's what the barking was about. announcing mr man is home but it's been a great show very interesting i'll pitch it on my channel after a while i'll keep listening well thank you you're a great friend and i guess we're going to be on tomorrow with stephanie lambert because i don't know where patrick is i've been trying to get a hold of him so we'll see i know he was supposed to be on uh today but if we doesn't make it on today, it'll be tomorrow. And this is, this is what we've been talking about with John too. This is a role. This thing is going to continue to go. And so just keep your eyes open and, and not on mainstream media because there's still fake news and they should be arrested. Have a great day. Have a great day, Karen. Yep. Sure. Call if you like it. Okay. I probably need to get close to getting off to my air conditioning broke on my second story. So I'm having some, you know, third world problems up here. It's getting warmer. But the other thing that I'd like to say about the whole ports, which I thought was very interesting. And, you know, I watched what DeSantis has done. He ran against Trump. He took dirty money from Wall Street, all these other things. But what was very intriguing is they were clearly trying to break the economy by going on that port strike. So the whole port strike, everything's going on. They have some guy with tattoos, cigars smoking. He looked like a mobster from day one. He's in charge of the ports nationwide. He's the union boss, blah, blah, blah. He's going to do everything possible. And then all of a sudden, DeSantis says... I'm going to put my National Guards on the ports of Florida. So that way all the traffic will come to Florida and that'll grow my economy. Brilliant move. But what actually happened? The strike ended. The strike ended because I have a feeling that whatever DeSantis was doing would have exposed the trafficking that comes through our ports. Because that's where we know that trafficking is coming. And so the day DeSantis said he was going to put our National Guard into ports to unload those things was pretty much the week that that strike ended. Now, I pulled aside one of our elected officials. He was appointed. DeSantis removed a Soros prosecutor in Tampa, put in a good one. I pulled her aside and I said, she stood up and she's getting ready for reelection and everything else. And she's got this PowerPoint slide says, this is what I'm doing. I'm doing this. I'm doing this. I'm doing this. I'm doing this. All of it. Sounds great. Nothing on sex trafficking. So I asked the question because I like to do that. I like to challenge the room. Great presentation. Thank you very much. Everything that we see here is phenomenal. But you know what? Understanding that our ports are one of the worst trafficking areas and Tampa is actually in the top ten in sex trafficking. I didn't see anything in your presentation on how you're handling that. Her answer blew me away. Well, the way the laws are written here in Florida, we're better off at handing over all of these issues to the federal government because they have stronger laws to prosecute them. And I thought to myself, holy crap. I couldn't believe it. So as she's getting ready to leave, because I was like, are you going to leave? Because I'd like to ask you a couple other questions. So I actually had some evidence for her to look into. She literally blew me off. We sat down, we talked for about five minutes. She realized what I was saying. She distracted me, moved on and left. And it just made me sick. So the ports are a big problem. And when I was running for office, the port authority, the president of the port authority, a week before the election was over, he literally sent out a text to me saying, looks like you're going to win. I would like to give you some money. Well, it's a week before, right? So I let him stew on it. I knew about some of this other nefarious stuff, or at least I thought I did. And I'm thinking to myself, well, that's kind of crazy. No, I'm not going to do that. And I let him stew on it and sent him a text back saying, you know what? I built a plan. I'm executing that plan. I'm either going to win or die with that plan. If I took your money, it's a week before the election. I would waste your money. And he said, thank you very much. It looks like you can take that and use it in the celebrations. Everybody that he was in a text thread with, which were my other peers, not the people I was running against, but my peers, were on this text thread. Everybody won except for me. And my wife to this day says, do you think if you would have taken his money, you would have won? And I say, maybe, but it doesn't matter. But the reality is he's the president of the shipping authority in Tampa. the Port Authority in Tampa. And I'm just like, there is definitely some shenanigans going on there. Ironically, the guy moved in behind me is now, he just moved in about six months ago. He's the chief and technology officer for the Tampa Port Authority. And I asked him about it. He said, well, that guy's no longer there. There is definitely some nefarious stuff that happens in the ports, but everybody's just familiar with it. And it's just day-to-day activity. That's sad. Did you ever see the container that they opened that contained human remains and all of these preserved fetuses? It's kind of shocking. I don't see that. Pretty widely seen. And it's really amazing. We don't really even know what's going on right underneath our noses all the time. It's closer than most people believe. But it's kind of a... it's kind of a amazing time that we live in, but well, I know you were dying because you need to get out of the heat. So let's say a prayer a minute and we're going to go on to the day. I did post the bit shoot channel of Mouthy Buddha as well as the skiff. And I would encourage everybody to just go and watch some of this stuff. You can start with the bit shoot one because there's not a lot of super graphic images in there. There's some, You know, when they get into Marina Abramovich, you know, she's a, she does blood sacrifices, but she doesn't. My wife made me watch the fall of Cabal in two thousand nineteen. Pretty much start to finish. And then, of course, she dies. Yeah. You know, I talked to somebody who was very close to her and said, you know, and I think this is a way it went with a lot of people that were in the Anon research groups. for many years. I think that there's a lot of times that people, they have to get away from it because it gets to them because of all of the horrible thing. And you watch it over and over again, and it can start feeling a little hopeless or seeing these things and it can kind of get to you. But, you know, you have to realize somebody that does that they're looking at a lot more than what they're showing us. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. They're cleaning it up even for what we see. Yeah, they're cleaning. They're cleaning. I mean, we have all cleaned up what we've posted. There's stuff that I don't think is responsible that I could post that I don't post because it is so shocking. One person asked me, a couple people asked me if they would, you know, I was talking about, you know, I was getting right down to what's happening. And they were like, do you have something I can see? And I'm like, yes, absolutely. do you really want to see this? And they're like, yes, I showed them probably they, there was, it was a three minute video of a, of a ritual and it included, it didn't include children. It was adults. And a couple of them were like, I can't watch anymore. I'm going to throw up. Right. And I'm like, That is a good, normal reaction, quite honestly. You just showed them Anthony Wiener's laptop. What's that? So you're just showing them Anthony Wiener's laptop. No, I didn't show them that. I showed them a separate. I showed them something else that was out there. And they were they were nauseated by it, which is a normal reaction. If you're not a little bit upset about this, you should be. Personally, I go right into let's get these bad guys. This is like this can't stand. And, you know, instead of I don't feel sad about it and the way. that most people do. I go right into warrior mode of it's time for this to end. The evil has to end and, you know, run into it and bring the light of Christ with you. And, and not, we don't have to be afraid of this. We need to deal with this. But if people can't deal with certain things and I understand, I understand that it's not a bad thing. It's that we all have been created differently by God Almighty. We have a different role to play. Some of us are going to run right into the battle, but not everybody is meant to do that. So thank God for who you are and don't feel bad about any of this. When all of this stuff starts to come out more and more, don't feel stupid. Don't feel bad about it. If you need to not look at it, No one's going to judge you for that. This is the way that God made you. And it's a beautiful thing. It really is. What I've told the friends around me, the ones that are embracing it, is our role is when it is exposed to help people understand it. Right. We're here to expose it today, but we're also supposed to help people understand it tomorrow, to help them through that emotional trauma that they're inevitably going to go through. It wasn't your fault. You know, it's like all the evil that's going on around us. It wasn't our fault. It wasn't your fault. You didn't do these things. Evil did these things. And so we can see that and go, it's almost like, unfortunately, it's like watching a movie, but the movie's real. But you're still watching it. You weren't participating in some of these horrible things. And so if you don't want to watch it, that's OK. You don't have to be part of that. We have so many things that have to be done to put back this nation. As the chairman of the Constitution Party in Michigan right now, I'm trying to see it every single county with the county committee, as well as get people to run for office, because we need people like you who are full of virtue and goodness that will come in and help take the reins without you, the good people of America. This thing fails. Right. And so it's you know, it's time to step up. And and as the rest is, the really bad things have been taken down. we have to have a replacement. So step up and realize that you made the cut. If you didn't participate in this stuff, if you're just going about your day, going to work, taking care of your family, your kids, you're taking care of your, your, um, adult moms and dads and such. And I mean, If you've been participating in anything good that happens on the planet, you're qualified, okay? You're not part of this. Don't let it drag you down. It happens. It has been going on for thousands of years. We just now see it and now we can address it and tear it down and burn it on a little black smoldering pile of ashes of evil's a bad idea and go forward into a bright future. And all I can say is Thank God for General Flynn, Admiral Rogers, President Trump, all the good guys that have stood by who will never get the recognition for what they've done. But they've been doing a hammering this thing up day by day, seeing this stuff, addressing it and tearing this. whole satanic system down. It's what it is. And it's amazing. Well, let's say a prayer right now. Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you so much for all the wonderful, wonderful people you've created, the gifts that you've given each one of us for guiding us through this time that we're living in. And I can just say thank you so very much for choosing us to be here now. You chose us. It wasn't random to be here now. You've given us opportunities to do great and wonderful things, and to stand in the way of the innocent people, of innocent people of every age that are being hurt and such. And what an honor it is. We are so thankful for you. We're thankful that you walk with us every day. You guide us, you protect us, you provide for us, and you never call us to do something that you do not come in beside us and provide for us. You never leave us alone. We're not orphans. We are your children and you are our wonderful, wonderful father. There's no words to describe how thankful we are for you and for the gift of your precious son, Jesus Christ, who gave his life to make a way for us to come to the throne of grace, to you boldly have discussions as you come in and you help us become better people every day, see what needs to stop and walk in the way of your everlasting plan to be with you through now and through all eternity. We thank you for everything, everything. You're amazing. And we want to let you know that we love you in Jesus Christ's precious name. We pray. Amen. What a great time to be alive. It really is. So I love having you on. It's so great. I mean, it's nice to talk to people that are awake who are working diligently to to expose the truth. The truth is, is President Trump is always right. Okay. Going to have to suck that up. He may get there by a little bit of a roundabout way. It's going to be legal and it's going to be to restore the nation. And it's not going to be about, oh, well, well, we're paying too much for gas. Well, well, well, well, we're all paying too much for gas right now. But if he can write this thing, he's writing this thing. He's already right at the thing. Well, when you understand the Middle East, when you understand the Middle East, average gallon of gasoline is less than a dollar a gallon. Think about that product there. We could be in the same situation someday soon, but patience. And again, that's, that was my original message is to tell people if they're listening, frankly, you probably have a lot more people further along than most. And maybe some of them see this, but the long and the short is everybody's telling us, Trump started the war. Trump's causing the inflation. Trump's the problem. Gas is too high. Children can't get jobs. It's all the same rhetoric. But when you understand there is an end and it will be better, we have to buy people patience. And that's my goal. And grace. So with that said, everybody, this goes back to my twenty twenty two. I'm the only non-conceding governor candidate in the United States. I do not concede to liars, cheats and thieves. So that's the way it is. And we're going to keep keep fighting this thing out until we get better behavior out of some of these people. You know, it's got to happen. But at any rate, ding, ding, ding, ding. Go to Brandenburgforgovernor.com because I'm the best non-conceding. conceding, uh, non-conceder who has ever not conceded in the history of the United States of America. And I'd like to have a discussion with the rightful president of the United States, president Donald J. Trump and cowboy boots. I'm going to win that one because I wear them every day because I'm actually a, a, uh, a farm girl, horse girl, and then he never going to change. You never take the firm out of the girl. That's the way it is. You know, and, and I've cleaned more crap out of anything that anybody and I'm that you've ever, that you, that you ever, you're a better person than me. That's for sure. I actually love cleaning stalls. It's great. Nobody complains because nobody wants the job. So they're gladly watching you shovel the shit out of the barn, which is fantastic. So at any rate, everyone realize, put your trust in God, not in human beings, not in systems. Trust God. He's leading us just as he did the Israelites out of Egypt. He's leading us. He's guiding us. He's protecting us. He will always help us. If we ask him, if we bring him into our lives, he has the answers to everything and he will help us. And with that said, God bless you all. God bless all those whom you love and God bless America. Go and make it a great day. It's up to us. One step at a time, we're going to make this nation a better place. We're standing together on truth, righteousness, virtue. There's no possibility that we can lose because God is on our side. So let's go out. And take the day and I will be back on tomorrow. Stephanie Lambert should be on tomorrow. Maybe Patrick will come on. He's got she's got somebody else who's going to come on tomorrow, as well as Civic Chain, who will be on talking about putting the government on the on the. Gosh, I can't even think of the name right now. My brain is fried. But we're going to be doing it on the blockchain, I believe. And I think if we listen to how that can be done, it gets rid of the FOIA process, which they have prohibited us of seeing things that should be in the public purview and being able to have access to those things that we need to know to hold our government accountable. Well, as I've seen the blockchain, the blockchain will literally take corruption out of it. It's trackable. So it's a very gray area. But it literally says yesterday and what I call a T plus thirty five trade plus thirty five days. That's what it used to be. Whenever you placed a trade, that means thirty five days people were touching it. Every thirty five, every one of those days, there was an opportunity for whoever touched it to steal something. They moved that to T plus seven. Under the blockchain, it'll be immediately. It'll be a T plus zero, which will be automatic settlement, which erases ninety nine percent of all fraud, which is amazing. But it's scary, too. We're going to have a different future going forward. And that's OK. So so Civic Chain is going to be on tomorrow. I've got another friend who we actually do AI class. A bunch of us are a couple of us do every Tuesday. and see how we can use the tool to be an assistance. It's not something that you've got to question everything. You can't take what it says. But it does help get to the bottom of some things that might not be immediately evident. And so everything can be used for good or evil. We have to question everything. We have to go back to the law. Every action that we make needs to be lawful. There's a reason why our founders did what they did at the time. They were coming out of the tyranny that was exactly like what we're dealing with right now. They saw the mechanisms. And so it's I think it's gotten a little worse because of of the access to all of this horrible stuff. But at the meantime, it's also given us access to see the things they've been hiding for from us. So it's all good. Anyhow, have a great day. I'll be on tomorrow. Come and join us. It's going to be fun walking down what happened with Maduro Dominion, his bookkeeper, Alex Saab, the indictment that was just recently opened and the arrest that had happened yesterday. They have already happened. And they're going to continue to happen. And you're going to be able to see this. Watch the roll. It's picked up. That means it's not going to be too long. And I think we're going to see. So based on one thing that we all know, and again, we could probably talk for hours, so we should stop. I know you and I could. We could talk. The one thing that Trump just posted on Truth Social. Who did? President Trump? Where he actually said, We are now in the storm. Says that the indictments, in my opinion, are coming. All right, let's see. Posted, I think, three days ago. So I had to skim down. I looked at it, I think, yesterday, maybe Sunday, and I had to skim down quite a ways. But it's definitely out there. So when I see it on X, I just go make sure I look at it in truth to make sure he really did post it. But it was literally a picture of him as a meme where he said the storm has arrived. So it's not coming. It's here. It's here. Well, guess what, guys? I am going to find this today. and I will post yesterday. It was on the road all day and, uh, and such. So to me, that says things are going to happen. Yeah, that's good. It's going to take me a minute to find it. So I'll just post it on telegram and X, which is at Brandon. Do you need me to resend that article? Do you need me to resend that article? Please do that. I'll post that too. So I think I've got here. I'll create a banner real quick that has my telegram. And there's so many imposters. Everybody is like, did you do this? I'm like, no, I didn't do that. Right. I don't give financial advice either. And people are like, hey, good on this platform. I never say that. And I never say things like, you'll thank me later. No, I don't say that sort of thing. It's so ridiculous. It's like, I don't post that. I love it when I talk about some of the things I do and they look at me and they say, well, what should I do? And I literally say, everybody's situation is different. I cannot tell you what to do. You need to figure it out yourself. Yeah, that's Truth Social and X. I'll have to modify it, but I didn't want to do that right now. I'll do that next time. But at any rate, actually, I am the one that answers all the comments on both Telegram and X, because I believe that we have to speak to each other. And so if you contact, if you do anything on X or or Telegram, I love Telegram, I really do, then you're talking directly to me. No, I saw you comment on something I did the other day. So again, I love it when you engage with people, when other people engage with people and you start to realize you're not dealing with a bot. So that to me has been a lot more fun than anything. When they changed the platform where you couldn't DM anymore, you had to go on and do something else. I don't remember what it was. I'm like, you know what? I won't miss it. I don't want to put too much information out there for who I am, what I'm doing or anything like that. So now that I lost the access to DMing, I actually had somebody that's a big gold and silver trader. He runs like Idaho vaults. It was a gentleman named Bob Coleman. Bob Coleman is very, somebody that knows how all the backwardation, all these things that happen to do with the trading, the options, how they work, all this other stuff. We literally had some dialogue on there about whether I should move here, where I should put my gold, where I should put my silver, a lot of good information. But literally it was about three months later, X changed their platform and And you had to do something else. And I don't remember what it was to be able to DM people. And I just said, I'm not doing it. All right. So guys, we're going to end it right now and let you have a great day. Stay on the line just a minute, John, and then we'll talk for a few seconds and I'll see y'all tomorrow. Hugs and kisses.
