9am Robert Cowper II is a Michigan-born constitutional conservative who served in the Army. As a veteran, he takes his oath seriously to defend the Constitution against all enemies—foreign and domestic. He is a non-stop seeker of truth who knows and understands that first and foremost, our rights as people come from God. As the 2026 Taxpayer Party of Michigan candidate for Lieutenant Governor, he stands for election integrity. Every vote must count and every count must be trustworthy, which is why he supports paper ballots, voter ID, and same-day counting. He is running to bring Michigan back to constitutional law—meaning government stays within its enumerated powers, protects individual rights that come from God, and can’t invent new authority whenever it feels like it—while bringing the power back to the people of the great state of Michigan. 10am John Ballance - Global Financial Update - 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 and it's the fifth day of august twenty twenty six and welcome to our show i'm gonna be a little bit of a smart aleck this morning but i'm gonna say how did you enjoy criminal primary day yesterday i'm pretty sure that it didn't work out the way that most people wanted to work out I'm not surprised because honestly this whole system is rigged top to bottom and we're just gonna have to deal with that because you can't change the reality you can only work with the reality that is there and that's what truth is the truth is is that our system is rigged it's been rigged for decades and quite honestly it's not a surprise the I think that more and more people are waking up. This is a good process to go through because we have to throw off all of this stuff that's being controlled by everybody except for we the people. It's time to restore things to one nation under God and that's what we're going to do. So today at nine o'clock I have Robert Cowper. He was my lieutenant governor pick. I nominated him for lieutenant governor. for the state of Michigan, the U.S. Taxpayers Party, which is the Michigan affiliate of the National Constitution Party. So he's gonna be on at nine, and then after that, John Balance is gonna be on with Financial Balance, and we're gonna be doing a global financial review, which I really enjoy talking to John. He's extraordinarily knowledgeable, and when you follow the money, you can see what the players are doing. You can see the structure behind things and connect the dots. If we don't have a handle on our financials, we got a problem. And we don't because Michigan is a money laundering beast of a state. It's convoluted. If you get in behind the scenes and you see exactly what's happening, starting with the nineteen sixty three illegal constitution, it gives you the clues to exactly what they were trying to accomplish. So anyhow, good morning, Robert. How are you doing? How are you doing, Governor? Doing great. Just so everybody knows, Robert and I are friends. And he and his wonderful wife, Tara, and a couple other security people traveled around with me in two thousand and two. And there's there's many reasons to why I nominated Robert, because we when you put a team together, you want to have people that have different strengths than your own so that it works. It locks together and it puts it together like. putting a puzzle piece together because none of us know everything so you have to pick people that are strong in areas where you don't have the knowledge or that you're a little weaker so that you can in fact teach each other stand together and find out what the legal processes are so just so everybody knows I'm gonna be a smart aleck right now and say I know I know what happened yesterday however with that said We were on the ballot weeks ago. So we are on the ballot for twenty twenty six under the US taxpayers party, which is the Constitution Party in Michigan. And so I was getting a bang out of beating everybody on the ballot. I think it's I think it's I'm amused. So anyhow, welcome, Robert. I'm glad you're here. Thank you, Governor. I think we're going to have fun. So what's on your mind this morning, starting the day off? Because we did talk this morning for a while. We touch base every single morning. And I think let's talk about what's on your mind and on my mind this morning. Well, Governor, well, when I touch base with you in the morning, I always tell you this is one day closer to Operation We the People. And I believe we're getting closer. But I think people need to understand that there are a lot that do, but there's some people that just don't get it. And I think what we need to explain is that we're in a spiritual warfare and there's good and there's evil. And we need to show them that. You know, good always wants to bring out everything, and the bad always wants to stay in the dark. And go ahead. I thought you were going to say something. there this is so cool i don't know if you can see it but the light is breaking over your shoulder and it looks like an angel sitting on your shoulder with this maybe he is coming down it looks great so yeah yeah very fun so i'd like i would like uh you to explain so what what i stayed with with robert and tara this past weekend and we've got base camp cowber and cowper and base camp brandenburg going on right now and so what was really beautiful is that i'd like people to know you the way that our our families know each other and and what i saw this weekend i got to tell you what i saw this weekend with robert and tara would have probably brought tears to most people's eyes. Just the raw goodness and focus on service. His dad came over, Bob, and I love this guy. He is so fun. We had such a fun time talking. But the love that Robert has for his father, it is incredible. He literally would carry his father through anything. And the stories of Robert taking care of his father when he's had medical issues and such. It is one of the most beautiful, precious things that I've witnessed in real time. I've got to tell you guys, this is what we need to see in office. Robert and I are both wired as boss-level warriors. And I can't explain it. We were both born that way. If there's a fight, we're going to run right into the fire. And that's the way that both of us are wired. But the care that goes along with it is equally important. kind of awe-inspiring when I look at what Robert I mean it is right there the service is always on top it's not always the fight the fight always shows up when it's necessary but the base level personality is service and it's do anything carry the wounded do what's needed to serve people and if you really got to know Robert you would see that very very clearly and I love the stories of you and your dad and the stories of how your dad and your mom met at would you would you tell people about yourself just a little bit not only about the you know where you know how your life kind of came about but also um uh your military service because I think it's really fun for people to know that you survived two helicopter crashes. They're things that people don't understand. And until you get to know people personally, you wouldn't know the stories that really show the true personality and unbelievable bravery. Cool. Well, I want to first start off with is that... I was adopted, and my dad never says that I was adopted. He always tells people that I was his chosen one. So that's where that starts. And when I was in the military, Understand that I never went to war but it was always a training missions and you always hear about red flag issues and stuff of that nature and Sometimes people can get hurt during a red flag. Some people can get hurt during training missions It isn't it isn't that it's a bad thing. It's just that it happens one time when I and this is why I know that the Lord is watching over me because I Number one, I was in the I was in for seven and a half years. The first group I was with was the first of the seventeenth infantry unit. Our favorite number. Right. In Fort Richardson, Alaska. And I was in a cohort unit. And I was with Alpha Company and I started I was also an infantry and we did a lot of scout scout stuff. So one time we were doing a night mission and of course, like I said, the op order, it was a training mission, but the op order was to snoop and poop is what we say, but it's called like a salute report, size, activity, location, time, uniform, and equipment. So our job was to go to this bridge. I was to go one side and my buddy was go to the other side. And my other buddy was to go up on the, on the hillside to gather information without being detected. Well, I was trying to be all high speed and it was, it was winter time. So I was in my over whites and, um, I was low crawling on the, uh, the river. It's a big creek. So I was low crawling close to the hill and all of a sudden the ice broke and I fell through. And as I fell through, the river was pushing me and I couldn't get back to the hole. So I finally grabbed hold. I had my weapon slung around me. And I as I grabbed on to some branches that were close to the edge. i'm trying to hold my breath and i'm getting free you know really cold and i'm trying to bust through the ice but if you've ever been underwater with ice it's really hard to break the ice and uh So I tried kicking it with my feet and I still couldn't break through and I was getting weaker and weaker. And I thought, you know, this is the way I'm going to go. So be it, you know? And all of a sudden it was crazy. Cause I was just like, I couldn't do any more. I was just trying to hold on as much as I can. And you can't yell help because then you're going to get water, you know? And all of a sudden I see this light And this light is like flashing down on the water. And I looked at the light and I said, you know, I was thinking to myself, thank you, God. So I used the rest of my power and I just kept grabbing branches and branches and branches until I got to the back to the hole. And I stuck my head up and the enemy. Thank goodness they were my friends, but they were acting as enemy. grabbed me, pulled me up out of there and took me back to their camp. They had to take all my clothes and stuff off and put me in one of the silver blankets that we use to try to bring my temperature back down. And so that was one of the scariest things I've ever had. And of course, like I said, it was a training mission. The other one, I was in a helicopter. We were using Hueys, and they had skid plates on them. And it seems like a lot of them were always in the wintertime. So if you understand what a false alzation is, the op order was to go in and to land on the lake, which was frozen. So we landed on the lake. and uh we were supposed to hold for like uh i think they say like fifteen seconds something like that so the enemy thinks that this is it was really close to the enemy so they thought that you know this is where we're landing so as we landed we were just supposed to sit there so there was like i believe seven seven hueys a cobra in front of us for our security and a cobra in a rear for our security So, and they stagger, the helicopters stagger. One goes one way, one goes this way, one goes the other way, so. The, my buddy forgot the op order. So he threw his ruck out in the snow. Well, it was very deep snow. And so we had to wait for him to go get his rucksack and get it back in and so we could get ready to take off. Well, the rest of the helicopters took off and started flying to the next destination, the next LZ. And as they were coming in to land on the LZ, our pilot, He wanted to get back in formation. So he was trying to stagger to get in formation as he hit the ice of the lake. He slid, the skid slid a little bit and the propeller caught the tail end of the other propeller and it flipped the propeller, broke the propeller and it came into the, and it stuck like into the snow and started to bust. And he started spinning around and the pilot was telling us, don't get out of the bird. And I'm like, I'm not getting out of this bird anyway, you know, because we're scared, you know. And he was trying to hold it as close as he could, like trying to hold it in so he could slow us down. and um if you know anything about those helicopters they're they're kind of made out of a type of magnesium so it started sparking and it started to catch fire and the pilot's like get out of the bird so we just started running out of the bird you know and left all our gear and everything just started running for the edge of the lake and they finally got the uh um the bird stopped, but it was starting to burn and the lake was starting to melt in that area. So they had to get the helicopter to be secure so it wouldn't go under the water. But we continued our mission. We had our weapons, of course, but the rocks and stuff we didn't have. But once we got to the wood line, our squad leader picked us up and said, okay, we got to go. Instead of watching everything and trying to traumatize about what happened, he was a ranger. His name was Sergeant Brandgard. Even though I didn't go to ranger school, I pretty much learned a lot about rangers because he told us, if we can't get you to ranger school, you're going to learn everything I know. He was pretty squared away. So instead of like traumatizing and watching everything going on, he just picked us up and said, we know what our job is, but let's get going. That's the, that's the, you froze up there a little bit. So say that again, please. Moving out, you know, but, you know, these are all missions that we had to do. So things can happen during just, just, you know, a regular mission. And then my other, other helicopter crash was a Huey, not a Huey, excuse me. It was a I can't think of a name, a Chinook. I think it's a UH-Forty-Seven. I can't remember if that is, but it's a Chinook. And we were doing map of the earth, they call it. And he was just flying like tree level. And the back end of the propeller, the back propeller seized up or something. I can't remember exactly what happened, but he just said, prepare for crash. So we just huckered down and So so I'm still here. So, you know, I know the Lord has, you know, a lot of stuff for me. So God has a job for you. And I'm really proud to be able to call you a friend. And, you know, the knowledge that you have, as well as the military training, I think is really helpful, you know, because we can balance out business as well as, you know, in improvising. with two different perspectives. And I think that's going to be really valuable. Besides the fact that if something did happen to me, I would have no issues whatsoever with knowing that Robert could run things. and and it would be done with honor service and bravery and i think that and truth and so i mean i think that's what we have so you you also served in egypt and in the middle in uh the middle east didn't you roger that we were on a um we were uh i've been there twice i've been to uh the uh egypt for the multi-force and observer unit that job is to observe and keep peace between egypt and israel Um, so the first time I was over there, um, it's usually a six month tour and, uh, The first time it was during the Gulf War. And so that's how we were put in for the Gulf War because we were extended over two more months until the other, the group that was supposed to come relieve us, they went right over to Iraq and stuff. So our mission was to just stay over there. observe planes and stuff and then uh go out on lpops and um watch for uh see if there was any enemy and stuff of that nature so that was pretty much our mission lpop is uh called a it's a listening listening and observe observation point so um what you do is uh They usually helicopter you out and you go out there and you'll stay for about a week. You have enough supplies for about a week. You find a place. You're usually a team, like a three-man team. And you'll go out and all you're doing is observing. You're in a hiding spot so no one can see you. So when we were over in Egypt, we tried to get up in the mountains so we could look look down above and uh we can see what's going on and uh you're usually there for about usually about a week so you have enough supplies and you you come you communicate back and forth to uh to your talk uh every hour on the hour of what's going on so yeah those structures of being in organizations and or um the training that that people have structure in in communicating with people to build a team is vitally important when you're in say an office for run so the way the government's been run right now is absolutely I'm gonna use a term again it's a goat rodeo it is insane they don't even know what they have that they're working with so it's completely out of control no accountability And everything has gotten so far off the rails that even the communication, when you try to get into the Secretary of State site, it is intentionally engineered to obfuscate the truth and keep you out. It's like when we were doing our... nominating convention and I made the statement that this process is the one that we're fighting right here because in and I said look at what we have to deal with a normal person could never ever navigate this. by themselves which is part of the way they keep people out so when you have training or you have experience in structuring organizations the first thing you want to do is make sure that everybody's on the same sheet of music right and that the communication is from top to bottom and what we're seeing in in which is the opposite of what you and I are used to is that, and I created the structures, right? So I create the structures in business, you know, and you were in it in the military, right? But what you have to do is you've got to make sure that everybody is seeing the direction that you're going. Trust the leadership that they have organized this enough, communicated enough, thought about all of the failures that are possible in the mission. whether it's in business or in the military, it's all still you're going for a goal, right? You're going for success. You have to be able to pivot, have the ability to adapt and adjust in the built into the plan and make sure that everybody knows what's going on so we can all run forward together. Well, right. So the way that we're doing this for the governor, lieutenant governor race in Michigan, not only the race, but actually getting this figured out before we get in office is to have a plan. Right now I'm working on a step-by-step plan how to return this state, this nation, to we the people. It's going to be very, very bullet-pointed, but then all of the information and the laws will be there so that we know exactly how to keep things in step with the constitution and i'm talking not the sixty three constitution because if you re if you read the constitution they installed an illegal constitution they only had one tenth of one percent it is illegal and they still they still don't even follow that one They don't follow that one at all. But they built in ways to justify money laundering. And so if you read it and you understand the structure, you can see how this, how right after the Constitution, the organic Constitution was adopted, how they went through this and were immediately trying to tear this down for personal gain, grift and corruption. And so if you understand the federalist and the anti-federalist positions, it was all about collectivism under the federal government or decentralization during the state, you know, with the states being more in charge. The federal government had very limited powers, very, very limited. And there was a reason for that, because they knew that in a collectivist society, it was going to go collect, collect, collect, and enslave everything else and that's exactly what's happened and why the corporations are are basically running the show right now with their agents being the sock puppet politicians as well as the corporations funding it and and illegal unconstitutional treaties and international agreements to destroy sovereignty and the disrespect of the rights given by God to the people and ensured by the Constitution, by the chains that bind those that they knew were going to criminally exploit the system because of greed. So when I see, you know, when we talk about this, when I see where we are right now, They knew the human nature without God because not everybody walks with God. But human nature without God is going to always go to greed, corruption, trying to be God or control the playing field rather than serve it. This is the core issue that we have to deal with. So when we talk about being in a spiritual war, we're dealing with principalities and powers. We're dealing with the difference between you under ice seeing that light and going towards the light and that's I firmly believe that that was God. I do too. And you and I have both seen physical angels. We have both. And I think we should talk about that to give people hope. There is a spirit world here. If you don't think there is, I'm going to tell you right now, you're lost. And you're never going to find your way out of the dark until you understand that we're dealing with good and evil. We're not dealing with the issue between men and women, the fight for supremacy or, or, blacks whites asians latinos or anything like that they've done this to separate us our god's children right we are his creation and god doesn't make mistakes and so but until we decide that we are not god we are not in control it's god's in control all of a sudden all of this stress division and fighting will melt away before our eyes he'll even tell you exactly how to get your relationships right. He will provide for you. It says, seek ye first the kingdom of God, and the rest will be added. So it's a totally different way, and it's the antithesis of what's going on in this material world obsession. I don't like money. I hate it, actually. We'll talk about angels, Governor. I had one where I was... was dry i was uh i was working two jobs i was a night stalker at kroger's and then i was working uh at a landscape place sherman's nursery well i did nice talking and uh the next morning i had to it was winter time again and uh i was going to meet up with the the guys because we were gonna we had some uh businesses to plow So we were plowing and I just started getting really tired, you know, and they said, well, you need to go home. So I was driving down ninety four. And if you if anyone knows about Port Huron, when you come off the Port Huron exit, there's like a kind of a curve. Right. And that comes into town. The last thing I remember is. hit almost hitting that curve. Well, at the time they used to have it open. So I don't know how I didn't just go right off and into the hill and go down. I don't know how, except for the angel was following me or behind me or whatever. So I made that turn, I guess. I went through thirty-second street where there's a stoplight. So I don't know if it was green, I don't know if it was red, but I just went through that. And then I went to, and I finally stopped at a telephone pole. I was in a Chrysler LeBaron. The telephone pole, I hit it so hard that the motor pushed all the way back inside the car. And it was all, it was right in the passenger seat. And Uh, you can see my eye is kind of like messed up that I hit the steering wheel. I had a seatbelt on, but I still hit the steering wheel. And, um, the, the telephone pole came down on the car. There were wires all around it. So the police had to wait for, uh, the, um, what is a DTE or something, get the power shut off. And then they finally used the jars of life to get me out of there. And, uh, the sheriff told my mom because i was in icu for i think it was like five or six days or something like that but they told my mom they're like i don't know how he survived because uh he had to have an angel with him so there's definitely angels that are protecting people so Yeah, the hand of God all the time is with us. And it's amazing if you just stop and you look and you can see it. But the first step is to reach out to God and just start talking to him. And this is a failure that I see in a lot of the churches. The churches have become pop psychology. Try to figure things out on your own. If you just stop and talk to God and it doesn't have to be, oh, holy God, we're here before you, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Now, think about this. God is a person, right? He's our father, but he's also a person. He came to break the division between God and us so we could go straight to God the Father through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, right? So we can go directly to the throne of grace, directly to God, and talk to him. And I honestly think, I don't think he ever wanted the building. He never wanted a building. He wanted to dwell there. with us, with men, I'll say man is the entirety of it. And any snowflakes out there, I hope I melt your heart right now in a good way. Because the term man means human beings, okay? It's not, oh, no, they're forgetting the women. I don't need that stage, and I hope you don't either, okay? So when God talks about man, he's talking about his creation. And I always joke with my husband. I'm like, you know why God made women? Because he knew he could improve the model. And so, you know, and we just laugh about it. I mean, it's good humor. If you can't joke about things like that, you got a problem because then it does prove that you are prejudiced or you are biased, okay? Well, the thing is too, Governor, is that it's not really, like you said, it's not really a building. It was called the Ecclesia, you know, and it was the people. church was a people not not a building and if more than one person is standing there praying the lord's already there for you and you can even by yourself just you can i do it all the time you know if i if i got something you know someone says hey um they have a bad uh bad issue that's going on you feel it in your heart you people know that you just feel something in your heart and you just like say hey you know what I'm going to pray with you. Sometimes they don't like it, but it's not about you. It's about what God's telling you to do. And you have to follow what he says. I've done it. I used to deliver mail. I retired from the post office. I'd be walking on my road. I had the, they call it the red zone, but since I've been working at it, it's gotten a lot better. But if I'm walking and I'm saying hi to people and someone comes up and says, you know, ah, this, I'm having this issue and stuff. I said, Hey brother, let me pray with you and I'll just do it. You know, it's, and, uh, you know, it doesn't matter about my job. My job is just what I do, but it's, It's more about the people that you have to help. That's what we're supposed to do. We're in service. Roger that. I'm really excited because I think because you and I are wired so much alike that we're going to show the people what service looks like. I think it's going to be a little shocking for people. But stopping and praying for people and letting them know that you care. Going and visiting people. You can only sit on your phone like this all day long. Because people will tell you things in person that they don't tell you when they know everybody's looking into things. on their phones and such you know every time you put your hand in in the the screen it freezes your camera up by the way so i don't i don't know if there's a glitch there but yesterday so yes yeah it's like just your your whatever the connection is it's freezing the camera when your hands come in interview so so yesterday every time i talked about the uniparty it froze my my uh camera and uh tech told me they said the glitch is between stream yard and your computer it was being intercepted or interfered so there's all these things that when they try to attack us or shut us down or slow speeds and such we we will get in behind the scenes and figure it out but back back to what we're talking about when you walk with god and you truly ask the holy spirit to guide you You get almost a new sense. You know, they talk about a sixth sense. There's more than that. And so there's way more than that. But you get the ability to feel the, you know, the spirit world. And, you know, it's like they talk about having the gifts of the spirit and naming of spirits, all that sort of thing. It's a real thing. So when you walk with God, it's like you don't become just a spirit confined in a meat suit. You transcend that and your ability to read situations increases incredibly. It's unbelievable. But it's like adding another dimension to yourself, which is kind of interesting. God gives you that gift of the Spirit. And I don't know how to explain it to people who don't have that. It opens doors that you don't even know are right there. Right. You feel it. You feel it. It's a power that is like so much. Just like when we were at that opening for the Italian festival. We were over there talking to a couple of gentlemen that had a popcorn group and stuff. And he was telling us his story. He's a great guy. Wow. Yeah. Right. And, you know, he was telling us a story of how how he's he's having issues and stuff like that. And it wasn't about a photo op. It wasn't a spot. We call it a spotlight ranger. You do things on a spotlight ranger is that when there's a camera, you got to show, you know, you got to do this, you know, but you don't do it on a real time, a real situation. So it wasn't no photo op or any of that B.S., But you felt it in your heart. And I was just listening to him, listening to him. I says, all right, all right. So I said, we got to pray. And what did we do? We all gathered around and we just prayed. I didn't care who was watching. We grabbed random people too and said, come on. And some of them even joined us. Because the Lord probably told them, you need to come over here. You know what I mean? But it's just a thing you do that it's not... It's not just it's just out of your heart, you know, and people. Look at what's happened with the churches, too, though, because like the churches, are we surprised by this? If you read God's word, it says that in the end times. And we don't know when that time is. But we do know the direction this thing was going to go. And the direction it was going to go was that the church was going to be completely apostate. And it calls out the religion or the religiosity, the same ones that killed Jesus, were going to emerge as the synagogue of Satan. And it wasn't just... cordoned off into one religion it was talking about humanity right and right now everything's been infiltrated everything the church has been infiltrated it's become five oh one c three government churches that's why they that's why they that's why satan has put money and possessions the gold there everything is right back to worshiping the golden calf That's why they have the golden flag and the gold fringe on their flag in their churches. And the thing is, I did security for one of the churches that I used to go to. I love that church. I did all kinds of stuff to protect those people in that church. But when the pandemic, and I've told you before, Governor, I took NBC school. And I was in NBC OIC, which is a nuclear biological chemical warfare in charge. So I would do different training missions for our for our company. So when the pandemic hit and I say pandemic, not a pandemic, because it wasn't real. But when the pandemic happened, our church fell in line just with the same thing with the governor. They had to do the mask and all this BS. And I told the leader, I said, I'm gonna have to leave this thing. He goes, well, we're praying and this is what we feel. I said, that's not what I feel. And I said, you answer to a higher calling. You don't answer to the governor of Michigan. But you're following what the governor says without proof of what's going on. And I said, we're going to have to leave. You know, when you look at it, too, it's like they followed this and they were part of it. Sorry, your camera's freezing up again. Oh, okay. How do I fix that? I don't know. We'll just have to see. We might have to do some tech next time because I think you and I would be great to kind of co-host this because, and I want to let everybody know, Friday night we're going to have a Zoom... call and everyone is invited. You can come and talk to all the candidates and ask us questions. You can ask us questions and you can give us, more importantly than that, is we want to hear what's on your mind. What are your thoughts? Because if we're supposed to do this as a family, you have to help us and we can help you. This is not, you know, what is your idea on this, Brandenburg? And it's like, well, I have my own ideas, but what's most important is let's put all our heads together and find real solutions because we've got an incredible brain trust out there of people who have ideas. And I don't mean... I'm talking about all the farmers that sit at the restaurant in the morning and you know they all do it. It's in every single small town across the state and the nation. All the old guys, the old farmers sit there and run big table and they all talk politics and they all talk how the trilateral commission is completely from Satan and this is what we've got to deal with. I mean, if you've ever sat in a small town restaurant you know that if we went around and said okay guys how do we fix this problem it'd be start your watch and within thirty seconds you would have a plan it'd be unbelievable because these the the workers of america the people who are in their professions that know, this is one thing that I know from running companies, you don't run those companies from the top. You make decisions. But you better have a good finger on the pulse of what's happening on the floor, in the field, in the office, and know exactly what's going on so that your decisions are made from the feedback from that level. And I always thought that it should be flipped because, you know, like, let's just say I walk on the job. It's like, people are always like, oh, the big boss is here. And I'm like, I'm the worst person on the job right now because I'm stopping work, okay? My value here is about zero. You know, your value is you're getting work done. You know your jobs, you're professionals. And so when I come here, it's just like when you get a commander in the military. Exactly what it is. When a general shows up, how much time is what? It's called a dog and pony show. When he shows up, we got to do whatever we got to do to get him. So he thinks we're doing, oh, yeah, you guys are doing a good job. And then we go back to what we're supposed to be doing. My father-in-law was, he was in World War II and he flew the hump to China and he had some crazy stories, crazy stories. But he said they had so much contempt in that camp for what was going on because he said they were young and they were stealing Jeeps and they were doing everything that young guys would do in China. you know, being parked for four years, you know, and some of it was good. They were they were kicking turkeys out. He had a real funny story about about harnessing in on a plane and kicking turkeys out to the troops that were that were on the front line. And it was it was really funny. The guy said, make sure you kick it hard enough or it's going to take the tail off. And so he'd be strapped in and he could look down towards the ground and throw a Turkey and he had to kick it and clear the tail. And it was really funny. But when they were in camp, he said they were, they wouldn't even wear the dog tags and, and the guys go, you know, at least get a tattoo. So if you get killed, we're going to know who you are and be able to recognize you. And so all the guys, all the guys that at one point in time went out and got the exact same tattoo, a blue bird. And, uh, Thought that was pretty funny. So didn't accomplish what the commanders wanted, but they thought it was hilarious. Well, that's like you said, you know, you were you were a boss of these companies and stuff. Well, the military is pretty much the same way. It's the officers and stuff. They're they're good in garrison. which garrison means back in the barracks. So they go by the books, right? But the NCOs are who you want to trust because the NCOs are the ones that are out in the field. Right. We, we go by the what if scenario. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. Everybody else is out there going, what's the letters. There's so many letters out there. Sorry about that. I tend to talk military quite a bit. So NCO is a non-commissioned officer. So they're usually like a corporal. That's what I was. And then sergeant and then a staff sergeant all the way up to like first sergeant, sergeant major. So they are Try to sit still. They're pretty much the backbone. I think every time I got it, I got to quit moving. That's what freezes your, you know, I think so. That's sorry about that. No, that's all right. It's like once we get on and because this is live and there's no script here and we're just talking, you know, sometimes the motion, the computers can't process that. So the stiller we sit, the easier it is going to keep going. I'll be in the position of attention like I was at a soldier's a month board. This is just process improvement, guys. Not a problem. So when we're in garrison, which is back in the barracks, the lieutenants, the second lieutenants, first lieutenants, captains, they're all in charge, which they are in charge in the field at a point. But they listen to the platoon sergeants and stuff like that more because they know more about the field. So it's kind of like you being the boss. You're the group underneath you, the workers. They know how to do that job. They don't need a supervisor really coming and telling them what they do, you know. And that's the way the military operates. These guys are the MCOs are professionals. They know they can get an op order and they'll go through five point to contingency plan. It's who, what, when, why and where. And they always a what if scenario. What if this happens? What if this happens? We always have a counterattack for that issue. You see what I'm saying? And I think the evaluations like the JSAs that we do in the mornings or the Monday morning meetings where you identify things that could be a problem so that everybody's on the same sheet of music and people are watching out for that and have a plan on how to deal with it if something deviates from the norm. Roger that. And the same thing like when I was working at the post office. all our brothers and sisters that are in the post office, They've been doing that job for a long time. They know exactly what they're supposed to do. The supervisors that they get, they have no idea. Most of them have no idea what's going on. They'll tell you that you need to be back within eight hours. The route's not even eight hours. It's longer than eight hours usually, but they're there to harass you. This is what supervisors, we need to stop this harassment from the supervisors because when a carrier comes in, His job is to go and check his vehicle, make sure it's all good. There's no dents or the tires are flat or anything like that. They got ten minutes to do that. They come back in. They start casing their route. So case in your route is like you take all these letters and flats and you put them all in an organization so that when you get out to the field, you're going step by step handing out the mail. Then you have DPS, which is really always messed up, but this is a billion dollar machine. that they brought in right that is supposed to organize all the mail in order it's always out of order right so this billion dollar machine is worth crap to me so anyways when we get out you know when we are casing the route we get all everything all cased and we pull it all down and then we head out to the field right and as we're doing that we're just handing you know the mail I'm going to tell you, carriers that have been on a route long enough, I was on mine probably nineteen years. The guy that I used to talk with, the old guy, one of my older buddies that was in it for a long time, he said, Robert, let me tell you, if you're on a route long enough, You will know these people by heart. You'll know when they have a divorce. You'll know when they die. You'll know when their kids are having a birthday party. You'll know when their kids are graduating. You'll know when they're getting married. And I'm like, yeah, whatever. But it's true because you see so much of the male when you're handing it in. You get to know these people so much. And a carrier that is doing the job for a long time, they're not just a carrier, they're the eyes and ears and security of that neighborhood. They see everything that goes on. You know, they can, like, sometimes when I'm delivering mail, when I used to deliver mail, I found people that were injured. And because the reason I found that is because their mail was getting bundled up. So if it gets bundled up, they got a ten day. We'll pull their mail and we'll put it in for ten day hold. Well, if it keeps getting bundled up, you're wondering what's going on. So you're knocking on the door and you don't get no answer. You can call the police and do like a health and welfare, you know, and they'll come and check it out. And sometimes there's people that have been elderly people that have fallen down and they haven't been, you know, no one's been contacting them. And it's because of us. We find that stuff, you know. These carriers do a damn good job, you know. That is something, too, that everybody has to understand is that there are good people, and I mean really good people everywhere. Right. And I'm not – I'm not saying that, you know, there's a mix, you know, there's always a mix. So, but it's important to realize that even if you feel like you're alone, you're not, you know, besides God looking out after you, there's a lot of people like Robert and such that are also watching. And this gives us an awesome opportunity to say, what can I do to be helpful? and just going and talking to people, making those connections. The phone isn't real, okay? We're watching people live, we're watching life, but we're not living it if we're on our phones. It's a great way to escape and cope, I get it. I think it's probably a much better way to cope than drugs, but it is a coping mechanism, and I get it. Sometimes just having that conversation online Gives you somebody to talk to so you're not alone if you don't have those relationships built up not a problem It's not a problem, but you don't have to be afraid of people they've done a real good job of trying to make us afraid of everything and to drive us into the things that separate us and that sort of thing. So here, here's the thing to think about going out. And the easiest way is if you're walking through a store or something and God kind of goes, ding, ding, ding, ding, just say a quick pair of prayer for that person you're passing. and or go out and say you know what i'm going to stop see if this person is home and stop by i i prefer giving calls to people but once in a you know to give them a heads up but if you don't see somebody like a friend of mine and i uh she owns a restaurant in this area which she's just they're wonderful people and uh she i was coming out of myers because uh um i i shop for multiple houses And so provide food and or shop. She was going in as I was going out. And so it was like, hey, you know, so we got a chance to talk a little bit. It's kind of exciting because they're building another restaurant, which is great. It's a family run, single one off restaurant. And they do a great job. Their food is fantastic. And I know them personally. But just to stop and say hi. How you doing? You know, what's going on? Let me know what's going on in your life. What are you excited about? You know, or is there anything I need to know to be helpful? You know? I mean, I don't go that direct with people generally, but, you know, unless they know something really, really well. But it's kind of a cool thing to get back into life instead of being on... on a remote remote control being a remote control puppet but the whole thing yesterday i kept getting asked about the primary and i actually made i actually made a uh you want you want to see the i don't know i think you saw the video that i made yesterday out by the horses you saw that yesterday uh tara was tears watching it i didn't get a chance to I'm really sorry, guys, but I am going to always be a bit of a smart aleck because things either amuse me or I'm disgusted by them or whatever. But I'm kind of a smart aleck, okay? That's just the way I am. I made this yesterday. So we are in post-criminal primary day. I'll play this a minute. This is Donna Brandenburg out here with my buddies today because... Today is criminal primary day with the parties who have taken Ford money in our election system, which I have a real problem with, so I won't be participating. So at any rate, I decided that I'd come out here with some of my buddies and celebrate what it is to be American, which is hanging out with a friend, this guy. And these guys and more guys in other areas, they're really fun to be around. On this beautiful day in the state of Michigan, this wonderful, glorious state where we have so many wonderful people and resources around us and such. today because they all suck, in my opinion, and are unqualified sock puppets working for the corporations that are funding them. They're not there on their own accord. Even if you look at somebody who had a business that was making money off of government contracts or the regulatory capture, you have a problem, okay? I'm just going to straight talk everybody right now, but it appears that common sense isn't so common anymore, but that's okay. The most people here, I don't know if you're here and you're watching my channel, it's likely that you're not the problem and that you're actually pretty informed about how this system has been rigged in order to get away from doing what the people want and doing what the corporation wants. Today, you know, celebrate this day, celebrate the things you love in life, enjoy the world that God gave us, of us out there that are fighting for what's right with the Constitution. And I'd like to invite all of you to join us. I am Donna Brandenburg. I'm on the ballot in November, the twenty twenty-sixth gubernatorial candidate for the U.S. Taxpayers Party. And I beat them all on the November ballot because I was nominated a week ago. So fun. So as we go forward to this day with post-criminal primary day trauma, because I'm sure I know a lot, I got a lot of texts this morning, people that were just like, I am so, their exact words, I am so pissed. It's like, what did you think was going to happen? The whole system was rigged. When you look at even the ballots, how many ballots were out there for Benson and the fact that this is criminal. She is overseeing her own election. This is where we have fallen. any form of checks and balances and and it's insane it is insane she has overseen her own election you couldn't get more banana Republic nonsense than that right there this is the idiot wagon that's on on steroids this thing is rocket-powered idiot wagon at nine thousand miles an hour towards full on tyranny and stupidity. And these people are criminals. Not only have they committed treason in the highest degree, the people that are involved, it's not just the elected officials, it's the unelected officials. It is the people that are involved in commerce. who have broken the law. They've committed treason. It's not just in the government. It's not the ones we've elected. It's not the sock puppets. It's the ones that are standing behind them with a gun to their head telling them what to do. Because I'm going to tell you what, this weekend I found that somebody that I know has been blackmailed, threatened, by people within the system, people within the Republican that parade around as Republicans. And guess what? I'm going to get to the bottom of this because everybody around me, and I'm not going to mention names yet, because when this incineration project happens, of all of their evil intentions, they have to go to jail at the minimum or Gitmo, which is really probably more. Better. Roger that. You're going to have to have. some absolute uh rules that we follow or else it's like oh they didn't mean to rape this kid we're gonna give him another chance and for anybody that says women are weak you don't know me i'm kind of uh i i love that we can't have women do it they're emotional uh and some of us are not And so don't be stupid because that's part of the programming. That's the idiot wagon right there. Go stop lumping people together in groups because there are people in every group that you may be part of torpedoing. the people that are there to help you who are probably willing to do the things that most people will not okay let me we're going to go through this here and i want to talk about this for just a minute i see john in the background john can you can you wait for just a minute awesome i love this guy so this is the biblical blueprints series and i bought all the books because i was so impressed the ethics and how how government the biblical principles for government and why this is important that you know let's all come to an agreement that this nation went to hell when we took God out of it out of politics out of school out of having a moral standard by which to conduct our lives the education of our children take that out of school guess what you're gonna have grown men exposing themselves to children in in the schools and in the libraries how's that working for you not well at all okay and so so not only that you we have an epidemic of being lost of looking for coping mechanisms that are just driving them farther into a lost torn down dis uh mo of destruction I'm pretty extra sure that we can all agree that we got to have some standards, some true justice, not this, he didn't mean to rape this kid. I'm just going to let him go. He had an unfortunate childhood. Do you realize what a ridiculous, idiotic metric for evaluating something that that is? Can I just say something real quick, Governor? You understand it. Right. So... When you're voting for us, I am gonna be the checks and balance for the governor and she's gonna be the checks and balance for me. We are not gonna get compromised by anybody. And look at me close when I say this, if you come after us, you're gonna wish you'd never had because you like to hide in the dark when you try to threaten or you try to keep us as hostage, we're not gonna have it. Look at me close. We will bring you to the light. We are not going to stop until you are done. And you will be caught for treason. I ain't going to ask you about going to jail. You are going to go to treason. That is with generals or officers that already know what you have done. You are either going to die by execution, hanging, firing squad, lethal injection, or all the above. So listen to me close. We will not- So let's just talk about the Epstein list. I don't wanna go to just the Epstein list. I wanna take three jumps away from that because these people are human butchers. They've also engaged in crimes against humanity. Look at Fauci right now. Do we wanna sit here and say, he didn't mean it. He had a bad childhood. He's making bad decisions. Hell no. How come it has taken so long for this clown trial to happen? Because look at it. You know, I'm sorry. They could have done something a long time ago. I understand why they didn't. because they're trying to get steps away from the people that they threw out in front of everybody to be their scapegoat for the criminality of this organization that stands behind them. You cannot take the people to task that you're seeing, like Gretchen Whitmer, Dana Nessel, Jocelyn Benson, who all broke the law. They've all broken the law. And we can make a list of it if you've kind of been a little slow on the uptake, okay? However, it is not just them. They didn't stand alone. They are funded. They are complicit with the monopolies. They are complicit with DTE putting millions of dollars to install their sock puppets. Consumers power. They do it through corporate, the corporations and That's how they get the control. They install their sock puppets. But it's deeper. It's much, much deeper than what we're seeing out in public. I want to show you guys something else because to balance this, nobody has to be afraid going into this. It's a house cleaning that has to happen. It absolutely has to happen from top to bottom. The people that were stuffing the ballot boxes, they were just as complicit as the people that are sitting in the seats like the governor. They did it for money or they were paid. The protesters that were funded, BLM that was funded, how many billions of dollars of damage did they do? This was a corporation. This was not an ideological protest. So when you follow the money and you see the people that have taken the jobs in our government that have been backing this, they are absolutely one hundred percent as guilty as the ones who are sitting in the seat making the decisions. And and we're going to figure out who and the punishment is going to fit the crime. OK. And I think that that means to be weighed. There's some discernment that goes with this. Doesn't mean that every single person on the way down is going to get what Fauci deserves, but there has to be justice. There has to be a loss of something to pay for what they took, okay? And so there's a godly amount of justice in how this is applied. I want to talk to you also about what we're going to go through here going forward. And that's giving you the biblical blueprint and or God's metric for justice. And this is a good place to start. So I bought all the books, but it's not just Gary North. And this is it's really interesting. And I became aware of this through a very, very respected friend of mine, Baron Reinhold. If you take a look at his resume, you're going to like just totally be floored. So he was in charge of, I believe, a seventy two thousand naval personnel. And he also taught ethics. He's an ethics teacher and he said, check this thing out, it's amazing. So if you go here and you go through, there's money, welfare, family, divorce, education, economics, government. What we're gonna do is we're gonna go through this a little bit so people understand where the basis of government And being in government, not like politician sock puppets, okay? These people have just been propped up to be the spokespeople from the people that got their hands shoved up their you-know-what, you know, moving the mouth, okay? When you see somebody who is an anchor, a weather person, or a, let's just say, a governor candidate, that was involved in fake news at any point in time, they may have left it. But I'm going to tell you what, they don't have any idea how to run this. They're just a sock puppet that's delivering a message. What happens if things go completely to hell? with them. They don't have enough experience to be able to know how to write it. They have no experience whatsoever. And I think that that's an important distinction to make, but we need to go back to what God intended. He's the one that instituted government in order to be, keep the peace, but it was a government, not of money. It was a government of service, humble service before God. Okay. i'm going to read this first page here which i think is important thus saith the lord god remove the diadem and take off the crown this shall not be the same exalt him that is low and abase him that is high i will overturn overturn overturn it three times shall be no more until he who is right it is and I shall give it to him Ezekiel twenty-one twenty-six through twenty-seven the King James Version God rules the nations he sets up rulers and removes them Daniel two twenty-one he alone is the true sovereign of the world all other sovereign rulers are merely dedicated delegated sovereigns whether or not they admit to this fact to themselves or to their followers It is each man's job to restructure his thoughts, words, and deeds to conform to God's standards of righteous rule. If each person would do this perfectly, an impossibility. Given the effects of sin, every human institution would be restructured to conform to God's standard for it. God's inescapable rule would then be made manifest in every institution. We must not be misled. God rules. Whether or not men acknowledge this, God has standards for the proper administration every person and therefore all institutions whether or not anyone admits to this the proper historical question regarding God's rule is this to what extent does the operation of any given human institution conform to God's standards at any point in history to answer this we first need to know what the standards are that God has established for all the institutions of government now I've been working on an ethics article on ethics and how we know what the standard is so when we go through this it is it is going to be there just go down the slope to show you what he wrote I also have written an article and I didn't use this as a basis of my article The article that I compiled was about why the Ten Commandments were given and what that actually means. When you go to coveting, coveting is wanting something that you did not earn. It is stealing. It is doing anything to win at all costs in your eyes and following your own plan. That is a total abandonment of following God and being under God. So I went through this to try to explain it, to try to explain what was there and why this is important. So here we go. We go through. We can go through this. And this is interesting, too, because it can be used to unlock the long debated structure of the Ten Commandments. And like I said, I didn't use this as a basis of my article. I went on my own and then I just said, I guess I better pull the books out again. And we'll bring this to the forefront. Who's in charge? Who do I report to? What are the rules? What happens to me if I obey or disobey? And does this outfit have a future? The United States of America as it stands does not have a future. It does not. it is going in the wrong direction of personal kingdoms of building up kingdoms like let's just take a look at this and I'm gonna use the Republican Party because I know the structure there and how this you know the the bushes the bushes Prescott Bush was the banker for the the World War two and They had Standard Oil that was arming both sides. It's the same thing. Same thing. It doesn't matter. As long as the banksters are in charge, they don't care which side wins. Do you think the DeVosses care which side wins? No, not at all. Because what happened right after J-Six and J-Seven when Betsy DeVos stepped down? What happened right after that? Pence got a big payoff in order to do what they did. And they also, when Tudor Dixon got the nomination for the Republican Party here in Michigan, what happened? They pulled all of their financial support because they didn't care who won. They just wanted to stop the forward motion, and those in the oligarchy started Republicans for Whitmer. You want to talk about split the vote? There is none. They were the ones, it was the Republicans, that insured and made sure that Whitmer was installed. The Uniparty did it. You're being screwed by a very sophisticated... capture of the human of the human capital that is what they want they want to make you debt slaves and slaves so you can't fight so with that said um let's let's do some last words i want to bring john on here you know i'm just bringing john on right now hey john how you doing good good morning all so what do you think of the discussion that's going on right now uh you know what When you talk about the money, when you talk about the bushes, when you talk about the backgrounds, when you talk about the banks, I came on with Robert was talking about the mail carriers and what they can contribute other than just simply delivering mail. I'm assuming that's what you were talking about. There's reasons that they've gotten rid of so much stuff. The proximity that we have to close to the relationship that even a mail carrier can have. used to knock on doors they used to deliver it in person then they moved it to the curb now it's in a box then it can go to a po i mean now it's going out of business there's so much out there that basically says everything that they're trying to do is trying to separate us from interactions with other human beings which is just very sad but again i believe that it all ties back to the bankers because i think that's why donna has me on Well, I have you on because you're smart. And the other thing is that we have to look at the global financial structure because even Japan, you brought up Japan months ago when we were talking about watch Japan because of the thread that was, it was close to collapse. And I mean, if they fell, the entire globe was going to fall in the financial system. So for all of you naysayers who are not You're a few fries short of a happy meal here and not being able to assess the structure. President Trump is doing exactly what he needs to do, working with the good guys. And I'm going to allege right now that we're already in a military operation. If you really see what's going on, the military's been in charge for a very long time. But you know what? Human beings weren't ready to catch up to the program quite yet. And so now people are going, I don't like what President Trump's doing. Really? He's going after the Bank of England right now. Who's attached to the Bank of England? The North America head of that? The Republican, DeVos... cartel that's going on bushes the cartels that part of it is being run of that mitt romney's family the romneys who are they in bed with the cartels in mexico okay guys stop listening to the headlines this this is this is absolutely Easy to see once you get your hands around that your Savior, that you've made a public declaration that the Republican Party is the only way that's a public declaration of lack of faith in God. You've made... the Republican Party or the Democrat Party, your new idol. Congratulations. You're off base so far. We're trying to give you the map, but it's time to wake up. And, you know, we've tried to be talk soft to everybody. We've tried to tell people what was going on, hoping people would catch up. We're past the point of that now. Y'all messing up my country and my future and everybody else's here future because you just are not grasping reality. So we're going to continue to come on here and give you the evidence that shows this, the evidence. If I may, the interesting thing that you bring up with Mitt Romney, most people don't know that he was the founder of Bain Capital. When you understand Bain Capital, they were founded in nineteen eighty four. And they've been predominant in actually gobbling up companies, buying and shelving patents. And that's the game that Wall Street plays. So if you're going to create something that's going to make life better, but there's a larger organization that's actually making a lot of money on the fact that life isn't better, they can simply work with companies like Bain Capital to short the stock, to drive the price into the ground so Bain Capital can buy it, shelve that money. That patent so it never sees the light of day. And I think what we're going to see as this unfolds through the years, and I think Trump said it really well just yesterday. What's amazing about what's happening is I'm not even going to get the credit, but I don't care. The people that are going to get the credit are the foundations that we build over the next two and a half years for the next president. We just have to make sure we put the right man in charge. Can I say something real quick, Governor? Absolutely. So like you were saying, the postal carriers used to knock on doors and all this. Well, back in the day, we were called the post office. Now we're called the Postal Service, which is in charge, which is being ran by the corporation, which is over in England. So a lot of our carriers don't even realize that they're not even working for the post office. They're working for the postal service, which doesn't even give a crap about the people. I can prove that by they're going against the Constitution because the Constitution says in, I believe it's Article I, Section VI. Don't quote me. I'll have to find out exactly. But it talks about the mail delivery, speedy mail delivery. The Amazon right now is running the post office. When we're delivering packages to the people, we're worried more about Amazon packages than we are about the mail because the reason is we're getting a contract with Amazon. And the thing is, is that When you listen to the Constitution, I don't care if you're a postmaster, I don't care if you're the freaking Poom, I don't care if you're the postmaster general. That Constitution, which I stood for, I took an oath to protect, you're walking all over it. It's not a piece of paper. It's a freaking trust to the people and you're not following it. So the thing is, when you when you tell us that by six thirty, just stop the mail and deliver packages, you're going against the Constitution, whether I don't care who told you to do it. You're all going against the Constitution. And I've told them that. And supposedly people have listened to me and they tried to get to the Supreme Court to sue the post office. And the Supreme Court, which is all fake, said that you can't sue the post office. B.S., BS, if they're going against the constitution, you need to figure something out because people, they were getting their packages, but people that were on social security, people that were getting a veteran checks, they weren't getting them because they had to wait for the next day because we had to hold the mail. We can't hold the mail. A carrier cannot hold the mail. So why can't a carrier hold the mail? But a postmaster or a poom can say, well, I'm telling you guys, you need to hold the mail. That's against the freaking Constitution. And that's why we need to go back to the post office where we talk to people and we're more socialized with the people, not the freaking corporation. You see what I'm saying? And I can prove to you people, I can prove to you people that you've been screwed with and been compromised because all these yahoos that are on TV, on the television saying, you need to vote for me, you need to vote for me, all this BS. You've been divided. And the reason why you've been divided, all these yahoos send us their little paper and we send every one of them. If you're a Republican, every Republican gets it. Not a Democrat. If you're a Democrat, every Democrat gets it. Not a Republican. And then when our commander in chief, I don't call him the president because right now we're at war. So he's a commander in chief of the United States Army. And what he's doing is he's protecting the people. When you're the commander in chief, you have more power than you can imagine. The only thing his job is to do right now is to protect the people at all costs. He doesn't have to go through Congress. He doesn't have to go through a Supreme Court. He has nothing to do with any of that because he follows what the military has. It's the law of the manual, law of war manual. And that's what the following. So if you want to wake up and smell the roses, you better freaking start understanding this because you have been lied to. You have been scammed. You have been divided for that reason. When Trump Trump don't don't hand out all these pamphlets, the freaking their little his pack people do. Right. So what those PAC people do, they give it all to the Republican people. I deliver all the time. Ask any ask any carrier. He's tired of this bullshit. And the thing is, because we're just handing it out to divide you people every time. You don't know nothing about which if you're a Democrat, you have no idea what Trump is really about because you don't get any kind of flyers. And it's made that way. The whole system is rigged from top to bottom. And I think that's the point is that we need to have a thorough house cleaning and audit. And that's what Robert and I are all about is to actually... restore things to the way that it's supposed to be. And I think we're gonna have fun doing it. I think it's gonna be great. Because this manual that I'm creating right now, I'm doing the base of this, but we're gonna open this thing up to get your input. Everybody out there is gonna have a chance to input on this and bring your ideas forward. And I'm gonna have a couple of rules on this. And it's going to be like a three-strike rule. If there's anything that is detected, because we're going to have an evaluation on the things that are requested, and if it's self-enrichment, it gets struck immediately. And so this has to be for the good of all people and such. But it's not going to be to create a job and to get entrenched in the government because right now the government exists to protect the employees. And that's why they keep growing it. They keep bringing more friends in. You know, it's like having a nest of rats in there. The people that are working behind the politicians and such, that's the power level right there. It's not the sock puppets and they keep wanting to bring friends and then they take over our businesses and are nationalizing our businesses through public private partnerships. The whole mechanism is out there to see if you stop listening to their headlines. And so we're going to continue to bring this stuff forward. And I think it's going to be fun. So, and, and, uh, and, uh, and give you real answers on how we're going to fix this it's it's it's going to be a fun fun time to evaluate it and do what we're doing in service to everyone it's a miss it's a misconception that we have to just grab off for ourselves because that's our security and i can i can prove this to you because i knew a gal who went through uh she was in she was in college The professor, it was at U of M, which I think this is amazing, this came out of U of M, but this was like sixty years ago, now she's very old. But the professor decided to do an experiment and give everybody a certain amount of money and said, now I want to see what you can do with that money and go out and build a business and then come back and give me your report. Okay? So they took that money, they went out, and each of them built a little business. They came back, listened to the presentation that each person gave about what they did. And when the last person was done after three weeks, this professor, who was very wise, looked at them and said, you have all failed. We're going to do this over again. Because if you had taken all that money and looked at the strengths that you have and the weaknesses and built teams, you would have gone twenty times as fast as if you did it alone so now watch what Robert and I are doing he has a military background I do not I have a different background I've got a business background and creation of solutions for I'm a solution creator and an operations person and that's a different skill set. But they work together very, very well. So we can bring things to the table that each other doesn't have and fill in those gaps and make really good solutions going forward. Now I added somebody like John, who has become a great trusted friend and advisor, in my opinion. who has a grasp on the global financial system and all the other people that I know out there who have huge amounts of knowledge in their systems that they understand and they know how they dovetail and dovetail this thing together under the metric of truth, honesty, accountability. We have a team that can't be beat in writing this thing. I've never seen it in my lifetime because it's all been the political cartels that have control of this. We have a political industrial complex that exists. for the growth of itself to serve the corporations and their greed and lust for money and power that ain't happening okay we're here to show you for the first time in your life you're going to see what service to we the people is all about And I think it's going to be a fun time. If I may, I'm going to ask a quick question of both of you. And Donna, you may have heard it, so you may already know the answer. And frankly, Robert, you may know the answer just from knowledge. But when they actually voted back into the existence in twenty twenty two, the NDAA, where actually we all know that after nine eleven, they could spy on us and in that NDAA, They basically reinstituted that. Were you guys upset with that? Yes. No one should have an NDA or qualified immunity in government. So it's not an NDA. It's the NDA. It's the National Defense Alliance. I don't know the complete acronym, but it's basically them re-approving the National Defense Act. And in that National Defense Act, it gives the government the opportunity to spy on United States citizens. So, Robert, you've mentioned you're upset with that. Donna, what about you? I miss the AA and the power of it. Yeah, I'm sorry. That's all right. The surveillance is a problem, but we're involved in a war. So surveillance is unconstitutional, but we're in a war right now. And if it's being used to protect the people, I don't like it. I don't like it. However... I think that this is not a quick one answer. So Donna, you've hit the nail on the head. And what I said to some people on January first of two thousand twenty one, after I watched the election get stolen, I talked about how this was going to take a while because Trump was going to do it all legally. And the reality is when you go back to twenty twenty two, when all the Republicans and of course, the Democrats didn't say anything because they felt like they were winning in the surveillance game. But all the Republicans are upset because they approved America to spy on us. But when you understand that Trump is building cases legally, legally, this all has to stand up in a court of law. So when Trump does bring this forward, the legality of them continuing to surveil our United States citizens that are involved in the government, that are involved in the coup, that are involved in all this stuff, it now cannot be thrown out of court because we voted that down. So I've always come to grips with, you need to take a step back and ask yourself why. I've always asked why before I jump into anything. And when you really slow down and evaluate the answer to that, you often can see the light so much more clear. If you've got a country that has already been invaded and infiltrated to the point where the infiltrators are running the government, I would like to live in Disney World and say, you know, or in fantasy. I mean, well, not, you know, not Disney World, but I would love to live in that fantasy reality. and say, we're in the United States of America, blah, blah, blah. But the people that are sitting in the seats are criminals. You have a transnational crime syndicate running this country that launched a coup against we the people and flipped this thing upside down. And so the surveillance, you know what, if you're doing the right thing at this point in time, I have said for a long time, if they're using surveillance on me, knock yourself out. I'm the most boring person in the whole world. Honestly, I'm very boring. I really am a very boring person because I like very simple things. I like to cook and make bread and, you know, I like to write. I like to research and that sort of thing. But I really don't like the complexities that greed drives us into because I don't like money because it makes people stupid, right? But if we can look past the fact that this is unconstitutional to spy under normal circumstances, which we're not at all under. They've literally killed millions of people on our soil. We have a kinetic war with irregular warfare, but it's kinetic on our soil. where they've been killing millions of people. So Robert, you were going to say? So there's a reason why they did this. They put in the Patriot Act and all this to spy on us. We don't like it, but the thing was is that it backfired. So since NSA can spy on us, they can also spy on the enemy. So as they spied on the enemy, when Trump said that we have it all, Space Force had everything that has gone on. In the world. In the world. That's why when he went and went all these tours... This is why they were all afraid of what he had. So when that fake General Milley, I don't even like him. I can't even stand the guy because he's a traitor. He's a traitor. He's trash. Well, the thing is, when he said that he was going to notify China, I don't know if you remember, but he was going to notify China if Trump tried to do something. That's treason. Right there was treason. After that, the commander of the Space Force said, for now on, all military. And see, when I tell that to my friends, they say, oh, yeah, the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Marines, Coast Guard. No, they said all military will answer to them. That means all military all around the world. If you go to Space Force's global mission or go to their mission statement, it talks about global, not just the nation, not just America. All military will answer to them. That's why when he said they have it all, they have it all. So when we come back, not a democracy, but when we come back to a true republic, get rid of all the flags that are gold fringe except for in a parade or a ceremony, and we put them back to the real republic flag, We will try and get rid of the we're not going to try. We're going to get rid of the private pirate privacy act like that. The Patriot Act, excuse me, because we'll go back to common sense. We'll go back to common grammar. We'll go back to common law. Common law is no harm, no foul. So you don't have to spy on our people. Robert, I got a quick question for you. Are you aware, and I'm assuming with the military background you are, it sounds like you're pretty well versed with this, that when they created the military or the Space Force, it was not originally put under the Posse Comitatus Act? Roger that. But the thing is, Space Force has been around a long time. No, but the caveat behind that, though, is that that means being not under the Posse Comitatus Act, they could actually spy on United States citizens as well. The Posse Comitatus Act says you can never go against the United States citizens. And ironically, in July of twenty twenty one, obviously, Adam Schiff was well aware of this. He brought it to Congress to make sure that they then put Space Force under the Posse Comitatus Act because he knew exactly what was happening with Space Force. which I just absolutely love. I watch this. I'm not a military guy. I just follow a bunch of crazy stuff. And unfortunately, when it all starts to make sense, it really starts to make sense. But you gotta, you gotta remember at that time we were at war. Absolutely. Everything all falls, falls. Well, when you go back to Trump, when you go back to Trump and I don't even remember when it was, it may have been April. It may have been may of, when he said he was a wartime president. He literally announced it to the world, I am a wartime president. And that was when we officially went to war. Right. And even, even though speaker, they tell us everything. Right. So it's, it's right out there. Even on Fox news, the speaker of the house was talking to, I can't remember. I don't, I don't, like I said, I don't listen to the tell-all vision, but Fox news had it on and he was talking to one of the guys and then they're walking through the Capitol. He said, well, as a wartime speaker, You don't just make mistakes. All right. When he said a wartime speaker, he meant he's a wartime speaker and he has many obligations. Even Rand Paul, probably back in twenty three, was on TV. And to your point, whether he made a mistake or not, he literally said that TikTok was no longer owned by China. And then what? In twenty twenty four, they come out and say that the deal was done. Well, the deal was done a long time ago. Exactly. Everything has already been done, and this is what people don't understand. What's going on now is just for the normies to try to wake up, try to catch up. Which is really sad because my friend who's been attached to me, he was a high school friend. We've been in contact. contact ever since this has all happened but even back then further back just as friends but the long and the short is all this stuff happened with Fauci just last week and he was he called me right after the sessions I didn't talk to him until yesterday and he's just like I just don't understand how there are so many people that still have no clue. And it really is sad. It's a show trial. And I think that sometimes we have to go through something that's a show trial, that it gets to the point of absurdity for people to realize What is wrong or what reality is because, you know, we just go along mad about things that are out there, which, you know, when I see things that are wrong, I get really perturbed over it, you know, really bothers me. But I realized that we had to go through this. in order for everyone to get on the same sheet of music because can you imagine if if no matter who gets in office if we got everybody fighting and we've got a complicit media out there that is literally mk ultra you know everybody programming people putting them in a hypnotic state which they basically have and i mean That's from Fox News on down. It's the influencers that were being paid by USA. Somebody's popping up every day with a new narrative that's just another lie. And they're good at crafting these narratives instead of just being real and throwing the truth out there. So... honestly getting they destroyed critical thinking and being able to being having their emotions hijacked in order to turn people into the weapon i mean that's how that's honestly satan's method right there satan does not have permission to kill us directly but he sure can make somebody else do it And so that's kind of that's kind of the direction that we're going if they can manipulate people to do the crimes not get along continue to create chaos and such that's that's where the real battle is right now it's an information war and information and and emotions. hijack people's behavior. And so we just gotta keep putting the truth out there. And I'm gonna say it again, don't believe what we're saying. Go check it out, do your own research. When I talk to politicians every once in a while or something, I tell the governor, I says, I'll ask him this, was Biden your president? Yes or no? And if yes, why? And if no, why? So explain it to me. Why? Because I don't want to hear just, ah, yes, he was, or no, because you want me to say, because you want to say that. I want to know why you think he was not your president. Well, that's why during all the congressional hearings, that's why the Democrats asked that. They want him to say he was elected. And what the Republicans or the people that are actually running to be in Trump's cabinet, they've all said so far to date, well, the process put him in place. Or he was this. He was never really officially elected. So they will never claim that. And the Democrats are just, they're clamoring because they're looking for him. And I'm going to transition really quick because there's a lot of discussion about Jay Clayton. And there's a lot of discussion about Pulte. So when Pulte came in and he was part of that, I mean, frankly, the Pulte family, the building family, he was part of the housing market. When Pulte came in, Trump put him in the housing market. Okay. Again, I take a step back and I say, why? When you understand that Pulte has better knowledge of the housing market than probably most people in the world, because there have been builders, they're world known, they're certainly nationally known. But he knows how to get to the information. So one of the things that we watch is during the pandemic, they watch all the people moving. Everybody's moving from New York to Florida. Everybody's moving to Texas from California, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Meanwhile, Trump's got it in for the Federal Reserve. I'm confident of that. So he goes after Powell. He goes after that lady in the Federal Reserve. They're claiming mortgage fraud. Well, that's ironic. So she's got two homes, but she's applied them both as primary residence. So it's basically tax evasion. So when you see that they put Pulte in position to actually go through the records from every criminal that they've been tracking for multiple homes, because they all have them, because they're money laundering, they take it out of the banks, they put it into assets, how many of them are actually lying on their mortgage application. How many of them are saying these are multiple homes? How many of them are saying these are my primary residence? So they put Pulte in place to go dig that out. Okay, Pulte's done his job. He's pointed the arrows. He's done everything else. Now they're bringing in Jay Clayton, and everybody's like, well, the Democrats are kind of like they want him to move forward. He's a good guy. He was in Trump's first election. in his first cabinet he was over the sec so he was over the markets and he didn't do anything so the democrats think he's a safe bet so they want to hurry him through the system meanwhile during the congressional hearings they're asking that question do you believe president biden was elected he wouldn't answer the question so then all of a sudden they start to kind of backtrack i'm not sure he's the right guy but nonetheless they pushed jay clayton through And I'm not going to take full credit for this because I am following several people on X. And there's a gentleman named Joe Lang who has brought out the fact that this is now Jay Clayton's strength is the SEC. When he was with the SEC, they arrested Jeffrey Epstein. Well, the reality is they've arrested, and so they moved Jay Clayton under the Southern District of New York. He was at the Southern District of New York when they actually arrested him, or he moved there after, I think, they arrested him. Meanwhile, Jay Clayton's purpose in the first administration was to collect the information and to stay quiet. That's why the Democrats felt like he was a safe bet. He didn't do anything. Now they moved Jay Clayton into the ODNI. And he can now bring in all the financials from overseas, all the foreign players that are involved in our markets that are also involved in the stealing of our election. And now he's in a position to expose not only the foreign investments that tied to our election theft, but he can also expose our financial markets for the corruption that he grabbed in the first session he was there. So literally, When you follow and you bring up Jeffrey Epstein, when you follow what happened, I think it was two thousand and twenty two. Jeffrey Epstein's in court in I think it was the Bahamas or Jamaica. And all this stuff comes out. This guy named Jeff Staley was the personal banker of Jeffrey Epstein. And he worked for J.P. Morgan, J.P. Morgan and Bank of America. Both debanked Trump during the J-Six stuff. Trump's now suing J.P. Morgan. The reality is now all this stuff is starting to unfold that now they can tie all of this back to the foreign investments, to what Pulte's dug out with the housing market for the local politicians, for what Clayton has dug out for the world's involvement in our elections. And it all ties back to the twenty twenty election and how Obama set all this up. So to me, it's so beautifully manicured, but it's so complex. That's why it's taking so long. I know we're all frustrated with the length of time that it's taken, but holy cow, this is why it takes so long because there's so much depth and there's so much corruption. And to Donna's point, you know, if they would have brought this out, It's basically fifty fifty Republicans and Democrats. I mean, it's not. But there's enough independence. Well, I'm really a Republican or I'm really a Democrat. The long and the short is if they would have exposed this long ago, we would have had a collapse of our United States of America. So Trump has got to slowly bring this out. He's got to slowly. basically throw this out. And I think the Fauci thing was a big move because like my friend said to me, holy cow, there's so many people, they're just still so stupid. Sorry for the work, lack of the term, but the long and the short is, They have to be woken up. The Democrats have to be woken up. They all have to see it. Now they're pushing the Republicans. I mean, every one of them. But, you know, I look at it, too, to your point here. And I like the word stupid, actually, because it's it's a descriptive, you know, but. the reality the reality is is that the way that they if you look back at where the republican and democrat parties went or came from and who's funding them and how they operate they operate as a cult they're a psychological cult and people get into them they put so much personal capital into the relationships into this organization because they bit the bait of a headline that resonated with their biases And then they start building this little personal structure around them of friends, of people that agree with them and on and on and on. And when you see how the parties qualify people to move forward, John Engler, an ex-governor, talked to me at a party. He's like, who did you think you were running for governor? He said, you should have gone to work for Mike Rogers and he would have taught you what you needed to know. And I'm like, because I have no respect for the man. First of all. I got to get going, Governor. Oh, you have to get going? Okay. Yeah, because I got to go to the DMV. Oh, that's right. Sorry about that. I'm glad. Thanks, Tara, for reminding everybody. Robert, nice meeting you briefly. Yeah, I want to keep talking with you. You're a good guy. I just want to say real quick, for all you people out there that's listening, if you want your Michigan to come back, you need to be Operation We the People and vote Donna Brandenburg and Robert Culper. Cool? Cool. Yeah, we're going to do this thing. Thanks for being on, Robert. Yeah, we'll talk to you soon. I didn't know he was your running mate. Yeah, I nominated him. I think you did say that, yeah. Yeah, so I nominated Robert to be my running mate because I would not have somebody else do that vetting process for somebody that I was going to be working with. I want to know the people. I want to know their strengths and weaknesses. And I think that if we have somebody else vet around us, I can tell you what's happening. I know the person who was being threatened by people in the Republican party. Okay. I have all kinds of things and it's not just the Republican party because they have installed people within the party in order to control people who are true Patriots. No two ways about it. No, you're sitting with them in these meetings. They are operatives. And I can tell you the connections that I found. One of the key operatives in this situation was someone that Dana Nestle placed. And or was friends with her. Well, I can honestly tell you as Republican and as red as Florida appears to be to America, we have the same problems. It's just we're run by a different colored group. Red versus blue, but it's the same stuff over and over. Yeah, they're placing people and they're sitting right in the meetings next to you. So great, great example. You know, I'm the treasurer for the Republican Party, so I'm the enemy, right? I got involved because of a lot of different things that I've explained in the past. But what's ironic is because now I'm watching the money. I watch the money. I see where it comes through. I've got my chair that wants to do a flyer for Republicans. Our job, our oath of office, as Robert said, is to make sure we get Republicans elected. I love that when they elected me to do this job, they put the party oath in front of me that said, I will do everything in my power to get Republicans elected. I laughed. I literally laughed, said, where do I sign? It means nothing to me. I said, so when you find, so this is, I took office and I signed the documents in December of twenty four. And I said, when we find out, and at the time it was Vern Buchanan who was our running at the time, and he's now stepping down. But I said, when we find out that Bernie Buchanan is corrupt as all the others, a Republican, and he's the only Republican running for office, I'm going to do whatever it takes to get him elected? I said, sure. Where do I sign? The caveat behind that is, now that I'm seeing all the money come through And I've got, and frankly, we've done a great job collecting money. So, but the reality is most of it's the politicians that are funding themselves right now because the people have kind of dried up. And we've collected. They've got their buddies in the corporations. Well, it's the recycling of the NGO money. I got to make a clarification. My source, who is a military person, was the one that told me that Dana Nessel had installed an operative. next to the person that's being blackmailed. So I'm going to say allegedly. Well, I'm going to say mine is not alleged because I watched it happen. You're watching it. So she wanted, because we've actually collected a lot of money. I finally sat down. We developed a budget. We're going to spend forty thousand dollars to help Republicans get elected in the primary. And we developed another forty thousand dollars to get people elected in the general. We based on what I've seen, they've never put together a plan. They've just kind of flown by the seat of their pants because politicians are not business people. They're just fly by the seat of their pants. They take somebody else's money. Parasites. Right. Parasites. They look at the money and go, how much can I take for myself? So my my chair says I want to do a direct mailer. I've been telling her, okay, a direct mailer is going to cost me a minimum of a buck, a quarter per contact. You can do it with text campaigns. You can do it a whole lot more cheap, blah, blah, blah. We can date more people. She says, I've got a connection at the Florida Republican Party. If we use their people, we'll be able to get it through for forty cents or forty two cents a mailer. I'm like, well, that's pretty good. I wanted to make sure that they weren't going to, for lack of better terms, bastardize my communication. I wanted to make sure, well, the Florida Republican Party has come out and said, okay, if Donna's running as a Republican and John's running as a Republican, we're supporting Donna. They've come out and said, we're backing Donna, not John. So in our documents, we've got an asterisk by Donna's name. And at the bottom, it says, the Florida Republican Party supports Donna. So right there, that says John's not qualified. For the normies out there, they're going to get this mailer. She doesn't tell me anything about that. I see the publication. It's got the asterisk. What are we doing? I told you this is how it was going to be, blah, blah. Nothing in writing, of course. She said that there was going to be things that we had to do. She didn't come out and say that's what they were going to do. Whether she knew or not, I don't know. But we've got this on our website now with the asterisk. Why? I don't condone that. I don't support that. I've made that clear. I'm collecting the money. I see how we did it. We basically gave the Florida Republican Party money to then put this out on our behalf. So there's no paper trail behind the two events happening. I just put money into a general fund and they spent money on an ex-mailer. So I have some neighbors that walk down to my house because they know I'm politically connected. They have the flyer. I didn't get the flyer. The live flyer removed the names. It's only got Donna's name on it now. It doesn't even have John's name on it. I went ballistic. That is what's happening in the Florida Republican Party to make sure key players that are structuring to kind of collapse the situation as it is today, they're trying to remove them all. And it's happening right here in Florida, which is really sad. Yeah. Well, and that's a theoretical. That's not a Donna because Donna would have told them, you know, I'm not playing this game. Right. But well, there's a couple of things that I'll tell you because I collect the money and I've had people tell me that, you know, thank you. You've actually brought this situation. But Donna is not on the ballot, nor does she participate in this. No, no, I get that. But I'm literally going to hold that flyer up at the next meeting we have. And tell them I don't support it. I'm going to tell them to make sure it's put in the minutes. You know, I've threatened to quit several times. I've told my wife I want to quit after this one because it's ridiculous. I've got a friend who ran for Secretary of Elections. He's actually tracking the postal code and the print code. And he's now telling me he can identify that the print code that we had is under the same print code that another job had. So they just took my money and intermingled it into a bigger pot. so they could do what they want while they're putting out other things. And it came from one printer. So he's doing a little back, back behind the scenes there. My office is actually over in December of this year. And he said, just stick it out. So we'll see. I'm still going to say, I'm not happy with what I see, but I won't. Oh, it's major deception. And if they're going to engage in that, in the campaigning and primary, they're going to do it when they're in office because they don't have the ethics. Well, the other thing that you mentioned, and I'm sure I said this on one of your calls before, is they've literally established, you know, united we stand, divided we fall. Why do we have a two-party system? And I go even back to where You know, the Statue of Liberty says, we bring your huddled masses. Well, the Statue of Liberty was given us by the French. The Rothschilds pretty much began in France. The long and the short is, this thing's been set up for so long, it's crazy. That's why it takes so long to get it fixed. But we really have to understand the history. And I believe that's why Trump really enjoys talking to Putin more than anybody. And I hate to say it to you that way, but it's because Putin understands the history of his country. And we've done everything in our power to make sure nobody understands the history of ours. So when I look at things like some of the things we've talked about to go into that financial thing, I know you and I talked about AI and Palantir being evil. But what I will tell you is when you really take a step back, I believe AI is out of the bag. It's cats out of the bag. We've created it. We developed it. DARPA created it years ago. We're now trying to monetize it by pushing it out into society through Palantir. All the other companies are also in it. When you take a step back and understand, did Bill Gates really create Microsoft? His dad was heavily involved in politics in Washington. He did everything he could to help create policy out of the state of Washington through his legal offices. Long and short, did DARPA create Microsoft and hand it to Bill Gates? As you said, the last time I was on and we've got- Assuredly, they did. Yeah. Well, the last time we were on and you've got your man that's talking about he helped create LifeLog, and then it turns into probably Facebook. None of this stuff has been created by American citizens. It's been created by our government. And when we look at all the money laundering that we've got, that we now fully see, that was the money laundering of years past. They took our tax dollars so they could develop these secret weapons. So when you take a step back, I truly believe, and again, I don't like Alex Karp, he's crazy, but what he says is unfortunately true. We as an organization will do whatever our government tells us to do. And as much as people dislike that, what that basically says is when the Biden organization is in power, look out. When you have somebody you can trust, we the people, we can control it. So when you take a step back and you say there's a lot of evil people out there and there's a lot of things that have been going on, well, how much of this is really, and again, you say the London bankers, the reality is London's up here and they're controlling us all through puppets. They created communism so we would fight them. That's the wars that they thrive on. But when you take a real step back, who used the first nuclear bomb? Oh, it was the United States. Now, granted, okay, Germany was creating it, blah, blah, blah. But we took all those German scientists and we brought them here and then we used it. Germany didn't use it. Then you look at the bioengineering, the bioweapons. Well, and the term that we hear today on AI is we have to develop AI first because our enemies will if we don't. Well... we used the nuclear bomb none of our enemies ever did we are clearly now using bio weapons yet we don't know of anything where our enemies ever did now they can say that wuhan did it but they did it with our help they did it with darpa's help they did it with our governments basically building the tool and then handing it to them Now you look at AI. We created AI. It's now a new danger. I truly believe when this whole thing is said and done, they will monitor AI just like they monitor nuclear weapons, just like they should have been monitoring bioweapons, because unfortunately the cat is already out of the bag. So the unfortunate truth to all this is I believe Trump is going around the world to his point, to Robert's point earlier about when he went around from country to country, is he literally had to sit down to them with them all and tell them the truth. We've been the instigator of all of it. But it's been with behind the scenes information, and I'm shutting that down. So I do believe that AI, not unlike, and I talk about finances, and I know you say when people start to profit, I'm the evil person in the room. I am doing things to profit. I'm doing things so I could be more comfortable in my life. I'm trying to help out as much as I can with my information. But to your point, I don't like to give my money to anybody. I work too hard for it. want to give it to my kids i've got two weddings to have you know all these other things that are coming up but when i look at this and i see the executive orders that trump put into place and again i want to preface if anybody's watching this i am not a financial advisor none of this is substantiated if you go out and buy these stocks you're doing it on your own well you cannot sue me because this is not professional advice but When you look at Microsoft being handed Microsoft, when you look at Facebook being handed Facebook, LifeLog, Facebook, all the things, DARPA, we're handing it all to our pharmaceutical industries. When you look at this and you look at Trump's executive orders, You know, he wrote the, I think it was eight, nineteen on the sex trafficking. And that was his first executive order in his first term. And then you look at executive order eight, thirteen, eight, forty eight, where it says if you're involved in election interference with foreign money. Oh, by the way, not sure if that's what we're seeing today. We have the right to seize every one of those businesses or people's assets. Absolutely. So Facebook, seized. Microsoft, seized. Google, seized. When people look at this and they see AI, and you brought it up the last time we were speaking, because I didn't even put this together. Why is Trump allowing the AI bubble to continue to proficate? The reality is, And again, this is skepticism. You threw out the skepticism. Is it to have them pay for a decentralized grid? That's exactly what's going on here. And I see, like, when you look at the AI. Now, I think that this is going to quell everybody's panic right now. Oh, no, she's ready to come against us. Yeah, if you sign up for AI, you'll never get elected. Yeah, that's right. But the thing of it is, is that you got to look at what we're fighting here. Okay. There's going to be some steps to decentralize. We have monopolies. They have turned our entire life survival into a subscription method to their installed institutions and companies. You are a subscriber to gas and electric. They're trying to do it with water right now with the water wars. and destroy people from having wells and being able to live off the grid. They're trying to make you dependent on a subscription method of living. The builders right now, the reason why we have rampant building and developing is because the dollar's not worth anything. So they're parking their money into real estate just like they did in China. They're taking over our businesses through this public-private partnership nonsense. That's nationalizing business. and throwing it into the corporations being the only ones who can function under the weight of the regulatory capture that they've got going. This thing is like a spaghetti code if you're a programmer. It is everywhere. And to try to, or an electrician that's trying to unravel a rat's nest of wires. You gotta start unraveling this one piece at a time to get some clarity here. If you have the ability to process a lot of information, which some of us do, you can see exactly what they're doing. They are unraveling a crime syndicate, which is driven by profit. They don't care about you. They're psychopaths. None of us are important to these people. It's just to see how much blood they can squeeze out of that turnip. And they don't care about the destruction they leave behind. So... When I look at the AI, I have different thoughts than a lot of people do. And I haven't told everybody all my thoughts, but I will tell you some of my thoughts. I think there's going to be a transition period because we have been taken over. We were taken over and now we're finding our way out. And President Trump and the white hats, the good guys, are in this thing to unravel our captivity. But if they pull the lifeline, because we're on life support on a subscription method, the easiest way for me to say this, you, I, and everyone are engaged in a life support system. If they pull all of it, this whole thing dies, and a lot of people die with it. They're supposed to protect us. They can't pull life support in one yank. Because the destruction that would be left behind would be so catastrophic. I want you to think about it. What if they pull the life support of these unconstitutional regulatory capture corporate-owned systems like gas, electric, water? That's only part of it. That's only part of it. What if they pull that? Boom. Try to imagine what life was like if you could not get food, electricity, gas, and water. What you gonna do? The majority of people, it's probably less than four percent of the people that go, yeah, I'm in good shape. I'd sit there and go, yeah, I'm in good shape because I know how to survive. I used to forge for food just because I wanted that skill. And so, and et cetera, but the majority of people, they couldn't walk out in the, in the woods and find food. They would, they would, they would die before they would have the ability to survive it. So, and that's why you can go back and I always look at this and maybe I'm a simple minded person, but, uh, you know, he kept saying, uh, tell live vision. I mean, the reality is it's predictive programming and the fact that Obama's put out their Netflix show, leave the world behind. And the guy that literally has to go out and find medicine for his daughter gets lost because he can't function without his app to get him to the next neighborhood, the next town. So, you know, I even see things like my kids can't read cursive anymore. And I read something the other day that talked about, again, I always ask why. This one I never even considered. It's computers. It's typing. It makes sense. Normalizing it. And then when you look at it, somebody mentioned how history in the past is written in cursive. So they don't want us to be able to read it. I looked at my wife the other day and I said, are you kidding me? I wonder if Latin has anything to do with that as well. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And think about this. So like when I was in school, we we I took Greg shorthand and I was pretty good at taking shorthand notes. Nobody could read your notes. And so I can still look at at shorthand. and read shorthand messages, which is kind of interesting. If you don't have a computer or something that can take down dictation, which everything's mechanized, if you know Greg shorthand, you could sit here and do, you know, take down a conversation fairly quickly and then go back and transcribe it for the people that can't read it, which is important. But all these skills that we've lost, accursive and such, I literally, I think we're gonna see a pause in everything. And it's going to be everything that you think that you're reliant on is going to be gone. Now, I don't think it's going to be permanent because I think the plan has been is to disconnect from the old system. Or you may send us to re-education camps. I mean, it's something similar. I mean, when you hear one side say a re-education camp, the other side's kind of doing the same thing. It's just not as in your face. And it's a necessary part of the discussion. I don't even think it's a re-education as much as it is. We have to take a pause on the things that they've weaponized to enslave us. So think of it this way. If we're all in a prison camp right now, which we are, we're all of our life functions come from driving on government roads paid even though they've sucked at this you know paying for subscription for electric for phone for internet for for uh water for food for all of this some of us are less connected than others but most people are still kind of connected right right right those are the weapons they've used to enslave us part of it as well as the programming what if all of a sudden the internet goes down and they come back with the ebs And so we all of a sudden are starting to have the truth come out. And they tell us what they've actually put in place, what they've got done. Well, haven't we all been waiting for that day in the first place? Those of us that have been praying for this thing to end. I want the prisons camp burned to the ground. Well, you brought up even Gitmo. I mean, Gitmo was supposed to be shut down. And they invested twenty nine million dollars in it. And then Trump starts piling a bunch of money into it. Absolutely. So we know there's a lot of different reasons going on. It's just when is it going to happen? But to your point about if you pull the plug, there's so much that can happen that we have a lady that's running for governor in our state. And she's in a Republican. Her last name is Rodriguez. I got the opportunity to talk to her. I've tried to talk to most of my politicians to get it. for lack of better terms, tricked them into what I really want to hear. And she's saying all the right things. COVID came from this, you know, the government's doing this, the Federal Reserve is a problem, blah, blah, blah, lays it all out. I said, great. I love that. As a matter of fact, that makes more sense than anything. But when you understand that, eighty percent of society still doesn't really understand what's going on. Let's just say maybe if we get further along, it'll be sixty percent of society And you come out and say, the United States government created COVID. The United States government created the clock shots. The United States government has done all this stuff to surveil, you know, even done nine eleven, all these things that may be out there. Let's take another step back and say, I've been impacted with that. I'm going to sue you. You just admitted it. How do you keep society from not literally collapsing if you dropped all of that on them at once? You'd have small kingdoms that would pop up and gang warfare everywhere. Well, not only would you get the Democrats against you that said, I never believed it, but you'd get the militia far-right Republicans saying, I'm never going to follow the government again. I don't care who, whether it's Donald Trump or Donna Bradenberg or anybody, I'm never going to follow the government again. So this is literally, and I've mentioned it before, this is literally walking on eggshells with how he's going to have to expose this. And like I said the other day, and again, my friend who was a bank examiner who lost his job after Silicon Valley Bank, you know, when I last talked to him in twenty three, he said the Japanese yen is the only thing you have to watch for. And right now, what they say is, you know, in two thousand eight, it was one person. So all the banks are involved. All it took was one bank to say, I'm done. I'm going to protect myself. Supposedly, that was Morgan Stanley started pulling everything out. So they start to expose Bear Stearns and they started kind of exposing because one bank decided to break rank. So when you look at what's going on, a great example, and it's going on right now is the AI world. And we've watched this kid get liquidated, forty five billion dollars. So he had a liquidation event where he was tied to AI. He was doing a bunch of margin on it. Ken Griffin actually stepped in and robbed him of his situation. So he was liquidated because of what Ken Griffin was doing. He literally stole all of those assets. Why was it going to be collapsing? Is somebody asking for Ken Griffin's help? Just like it happened in twenty twenty nine, the banks had to step in to keep the markets from falling even further. So meanwhile, when you look at government's tide, the I think it's the Korean market is getting slammed. They said thirty five percent of all citizens in Korea are in their markets with margin and they've all been liquidated. So this has been going for like two or three weeks. So when you have one event, because the banking system is completely tied, where's the next event? And so meanwhile, we're watching the Japanese yen start to carry up again. And now Besson is literally coming out on Friday saying, yeah, we're stepping in. We're helping out. You can literally watch it drop to one fifty seven again. So everything that I'm reading is if you can watch the Japanese yen, it may actually be the catalyst that causes the next financial collapse. That bank examiner, that friend of mine who actually told me this in twenty three, I've watched that and I've watched how it's peaked. And you can see the events and that happened. The Japanese yen carry trade. All of this isn't kind of occurring. So meanwhile, we're propping it up. And I'm actually reading that the United States sold off. So we didn't print any money. So the past, we just printed more money. We didn't print any money. We sold UK treasuries. We sold UK dollars. So we're jamming the United Kingdom right back at it by selling their assets, causing their problems. And then we're buying Japanese treasuries to help offset them. So, yes, we did manipulate it. Yes, we are involved in it. Trump is looking at Japan as a friend because Japan literally will blow up the entire world's economy if it goes under. So they know the importance. Besant knows the importance of that. The world's kind of clamoring as to why is he involved in this. And that's really kind of where it's at because what they've done for years, because they've run over the negative interest rate, I can borrow money from Japan, come into my stock market, make a bunch of money, and literally pay. So if I make six percent, I could actually make seven percent because I'm paying a negative interest rate in Japan. So the fear is that Japan will raise interest rates. We're buying them off from raising those rates because they know what will happen. So Japan's been doing this for the last three years. They've been doing it with their own currencies. I think they're out of money. That's why Besson got in, and we're hearing that each time they get involved, that will only hold for a shorter period of time. So every direct involvement, The first time you have six months, the second time you have three months, third time you have one month, next time you have two weeks. So that window is getting closer and closer. So right now they're saying we may be lucky with one more intervention to get us into, ironically, September or October. So perfect in that timing, isn't it? So is Trump, and again, I still look at the system being dead. You and I have talked about that. Is Trump literally going to leverage the timing of the event? Financial collapse right before the election. Nobody has ever won an election when there's been a financial event when you've been in office. I don't see how it works other than exposing the Democrats and the corruption in the Federal Reserve before the election. Maybe give an opportunity to change the election, which of course goes against the Constitution, blah, blah, blah. or put protections in place for the paper ballots and all the things that we've been working for, hearing on. But is all this gonna happen before or is Trump gonna let this happen after? And it may be a pause. I wouldn't- And to your point, if that collapse happens, all these tools that we're talking about do pause. It kicks us back to the curb and says, The world's going to be a little different. And as I've told my kids, I'm seeing six months to a year because Trump literally is going to play the same method that he played in during COVID. The market got slammed in March. The whole financial setup was set up so it would happen. It wasn't COVID. COVID was the news. The event was already set up in the financials. The event's already set up in the financial. All we need is the event. Who's going to play the event? Is it going to be a Trump event? Is it going to be a bad actor event? Is it going to be one or the other? But I said, what's actually going to happen is you can go back to March and you can see that spike back up in the economy. You can see that spike back up in the markets. It's going to be like a B. If things go, it's going to kind of, let's see, I got to get my hand on there. It's going to go this way and bounce back up. I expect that we're going to see- So there's a couple of things that I would say that I would be cautious on is if you go back to People say, well, it always bounces back again like I talked about with the Japanese yen getting involved each window gets shorter. So if you look at the market collapsed in it took years before it got back up to the pipes, the peak of. But what happened after that those windows got shorter. So each event, two thousand eight. Here we are well above it. You know, two thousand the year two thousand. It took us to two thousand eight. This, you know, every window is getting shorter and actually some of them could be more catastrophic. So if you look at the world today and how we're set up and the debt that we've incurred. If Trump literally does allow this to happen, he's got everything built in strength for, you know, the backings, you know, the electricians, all of the people, the blue-collar guys, the white-collar guys may be in trouble because of AI. I think AI is unfortunately going to be here to stay. But the long and the short is... I think it has deleted most of the administrative tasks and people that work in those areas. Well, everybody that I talk to, even conservative Republicans that are on our team, I tell them, if Trump literally puts us back on the gold standard, it will slow growth. Well, we can't do that. That doesn't allow us to, you know, population growth, expansion, all that. Everything you're talking about is everything you've been taught. It's not true. It's not right. It's fake money. So if Trump literally does allow the market to fall, if Trump literally does allow the us to go back on the gold standard. If we drop fifty percent, it may take twenty years to get back up to where we are today. But when you realize what he's doing is he's building the infrastructure back here. He's already spoken several times. I will not allow my military industrial complex to buy their own stock back. That is not efficient use of capital. So if you want to continue to be a military contractor for the United States, I will not buy from you if you put in stock buybacks. You have to put back into your business. You put it back into the business and that business puts it back into the people and that business builds in the United States. So the real windfall, in my opinion, is going to be jobs, job growth, infrastructure build out. And for lack of better terms, how I've made most of my money, sitting playing Wall Street isn't going to be as easy as it used to be. It's going to be harder. He's already coming out with the Federal Reserve. Warsh is coming out and saying, I'm not going to tell Wall Street what I'm going to do anymore. Wall Street's all clamoring. Oh, my gosh, what's going on? Trump is telling us businesses are fools to come out to Wall Street and tell them every quarter this is what I'm going to do. They're chasing their quarterly returns. They're not chasing success. They're chasing Wall Street. So if they change the structure of how the SEC works, how governments are mandated to work, how the Federal Reserve actually communicates to society, playing the stock markets isn't going to be where you make your money. investing in America is how you're going to invest in money. So the growth, to your point, there's going to be a stall or a slowdown. I feel like growth needs to be slowed. I feel like growth needs to be looked at in a different mechanism. And the only way to do that by putting in gold is to literally say, well, I have a hundred million ounces today. I have a hundred and one million ounces tomorrow. So your growth is capped at one percent. Now, he's going to have us accelerate our economies because we will be able to absorb the world and how this comes because a lot of the world's players won't be able to do it. Trump's going to do everything in his power to make sure they follow the same model. But then that just puts us all on the same playing field. And unfortunately, that takes time. Again, those are my theories, my philosophies. I think it's wild. And I can always go back to when I was a kid. I look at my kids. I've got the opportunity to talk to kids because I've got kids. And I love talking to kids. Not a one of them can give up a cell phone. Not a single one of them can give up the internet. Nobody can do this. Nobody can do that. Oh my God. Can you believe that? And I, so I look at them and I say, well, what would your life be like without that? And I look at what my parents said, nobody builds like they used to, you know, all this stuff. We looked at our parents, like they were dinosaurs because they didn't understand progress. And unfortunately progress has been, and I mentioned if they make it easier for us, they're ripping us off. It's captivity. Yes. And it takes out the meaning of life. You know, I've said for a long time that honestly, we need to go back to Eden and people don't even know what that looks like. Right. But we weren't made to work ten, twelve hours a day. We weren't made to work for just to survive and such, but we were made to work. And we were made to work and to learn some things, but it was to walk with God and to spend time quietly pondering those things that people don't even know that's what they're working for, but they'll never chase it. Because the material balloon always moves before you can. When you go back to Eden, you are sitting in a garden. And I can tell you as a farmer, I'm a farm girl, right? We can produce more food than we could ever, ever. The globe is able to produce more food than what we could ever, ever eat. On a half acre farm or a half acre plot of ground, if you can feed with a half acre garden, Two goats and thirty six chickens, you can feed nine families. Now, I want you to think about that. Right. If you have a garden, you're not out there working in that garden. Well, I don't remember what the I don't remember what the crop was, but I read something just the other day on how we're the United States government is supplementing the destruction of I think it may be banana trees in California. We're getting rid of like... Don't get started on the corn subsidies. Oh yeah, everything that is literally subsidized is driven out of whack in line with pricing. Do you want to know why? Well, let's look at the corn subsidies right now. The corn subsidies to produce ethanol is a negative productivity. But you know why they did that? Because they could have left switchgrass and the native grasses, the native crops, mowed them off at the end of the season and made... ethanol out of that. You can make ethanol out of anything. It's making vodka really is what it is. And so this is a simple process. But no, no, no, no, no. We had to create the corn subsidies, which now all of a sudden makes us have to put on that the atrazine the pesticides we have to plow the with the plow the ground which is which ends up being an erosion nightmare and strips all of the nutrients out of the ground so now our food is a deficit and it we have to irrigate so we have to spend fuel to run the tractors to plow do the the land poisoning to harvest and all of that, I mean, all of those- Well, to qualify for the subsidies, you have to follow their guidelines, yes. Right, and they tell you what you have to do. So now they have made co-industries that are making money off their subsidies that now is required keep this this this new non-natural metric going and soil is a living being it is an organism it's not just dirt there are all these things in the dirt that that you know that the the bacteria the worms all of that in the ground that make healthy food for us you strip that out and you kill that so all you have is dead dirt There's no organic matter in it. You got dead food and you got people that are living with a deficit in what they're eating and that's one of the reasons why we're getting sicker. When I went to something with RFK Jr. and it was i'm going to tell you i am absolutely pissed about the lies that are being peddled through the agriculture department and what's going on there because they sit there go oh we're working for american farming you lying bastards No, you're not. You're destroying the American farmer so you can eat up their land and put it into the corporations for corporate control to support all these other subscription method ancillary businesses or industries that have to support your theft. And so you could watch JFK Jr. sit there and he was furious. He'd sit there like this. He's just as they're peddling the lie. And he would step up and put something in to get them back to why this is destroying people. He was there, he was being used for his name to be there and he knew it. And those of us could see who was going on. And I've got names of the people that are in the ag industry here trying to put it under corporate for corporate profits, they're liars. They're liars. And a lot of the money laundering are going through these industry cartels. We've got an education cartel. They're lying to you. They have written into the Michigan Constitution ways to money launder away from the roads and give a portion of it to the schools. You tell me why that's not in the fund that it's intended to be into. they're lying, they're lying, they're lying. So with everything you just said, though, that's why I think we're completely aligned that unfortunately when this occurs and as it occurs, people are going to have to take a step back. People are going to have to do without. They're going to have to learn to do without because it is, for lack of a better term, a re-education of society on how to manage life on their own again. Yes. And that's the hardest part. I'm going to call it. We have to be on the path to radical self-sufficiency if we do not want to be dependent on their prison system to capture us and harness our labor, our creativity and our capital. That's what they want. Well, just just just like this. They've got everybody hooked on it. And what did Apple just announced during their earnings? They know that their phone is now too expensive. They're going to a subscription model. You bet. They've done it on everything. They put everything on a subscription model. So you've got to pay the price every month to be involved. This is what has to be taken down. And the result on the other side of it. I want to tell everybody to stop the fear and stop the panic, okay? because it's not scary just because something changes. So I was the creator of Grief and Loss Today, Advances in Hospice, Advances in Bereavement, and I had years to spend studying with people who were educated in the grief response. When we lose anything, when we lose a familiar, it elicits a grief response. It's not just when somebody dies. If I lose my favorite, I don't know, who knows, let's say my favorite brush for cleaning something with. For a minute there, we're just like, oh man, I'm used to this, I love it. So you can take it to anything, your socks. It can be the big thing, but it can be small things too. You will have a grief response. When everything around you like this changes, you're gonna have a grief response. I can guarantee that. It impacts everybody in a different way. It does. But that doesn't mean it's bad if you lose something. It's just the loss of the familiar. It doesn't have to be good or bad. When I adopted my daughter, the loss of the familiar of her starving to death and having a big malnutrition belly and worms crawling out of her body. Every kid who's adopted will go through a grief response. It's not because of the change to something better. It's the, you can't compete with a ghost of the past. And there are things that sanitize those memories that you forget the evil or the hardness, but you remember those glimmers in the darkness and you will miss them. It is the same with all of us, the human condition. But we can't compete with the past. When Lot's wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt, she didn't turn into a physical pillar. It was an analogy. And the accepted method of what was being said there is she looked back at the excesses that they were living with, and Sodom and Gomorrah and she missed some of that. She missed the things that they had there and she was worthless going forward because she was salty and she couldn't see where they were going. All she could do is romanticize the past. and go back like a dog to its vomit. That's exactly what the Bible talks about. We have to look forward and realize that our minds are going to miss what we're familiar with. But that doesn't mean that the captivity was a good thing or is a good thing right now. And if we look forward and we look at the gifts of God going forward, we're going to find the richness that we maybe have never seen. And we that we can't relate to the richness of our relationships with each other and what it is truly like to be embraced. We're all looking for that family. Right. Right. Some of us have the fortune to have that around us now because I adopt all kinds of people. I got all kinds of people that that are around me that are that are family to me. People that have that service mind or want to help other people around them without any regard to transactional involvement, but do it just because it's the right thing to do. And that their joy in life comes out of doing things just because it's the right thing to do. That in itself is the reward. It's not waiting for reward or waiting for money or anything. It's just I get great joy out of doing things for people that nobody will ever see or know. And I think a lot of us are like that. When you go back to that, you are in control of the rewards every minute of the day because your metric is being able to do those good things. It makes you feel purposeful. And not into just grabbing these fake things that we're grasping at in the material world. It takes a little while sometimes for people to let go or get that concept. But the rewards in heaven that a lot of people work for. You're on the wrong side of that one. Well, and I think right now the kingdom of God is here right now with us. And you have to grasp that because you can live and walk with God on this earth. It's true. Even amidst the craziness and the satanic stuff that's going on around us. You know, the kingdom of God is at hand. The kingdom of God is the reward is being able to do good things. That's the reward. Well, I think when you look at it, what we're really here for, and as we're kids and we grow up, we see the shiny object. But as we get older and we form families, we realize what we're here for. We're here to provide for our family and to build the next generations. And for lack of better terms, we're there to educate and to give to the next generation so they can do better than us. And We don't realize that, unfortunately, until you get older in life. But so many people never, even if they form the families, they are still reaching for that shiny object. And the evil part of society is always putting another shiny object in front of you. Again, when they make it easier for you, even if it's not a shiny object, I don't have to do that anymore. And it just comes to me. So, I mean, the things that you watch and unfortunately wisdom kind of takes effect, which it's good and or it's bad because every generation has to be taught. I mean, one of the things that I said to my son, and I'm pretty sure I said this to you, I'd been downsized three times in corporate America. My wife had been downsized twice, but the last time it was right before my son went into college. So again, college in my world today is different than it was in two thousand nineteen when my son stepped into it. But he said, why would I want to go to college when I watch corporate America do what they've done to you every time? And now to mom, she's given everything to her, this company and I literally said, I believe at the time, I don't necessarily believe it today, but I believe at the time, the education is your independence to do what it is so you can learn. That's your capacity to learn. It's not really the document, it's not the degree, even though when I grew up- How do you apply it? It's how do you apply it. I said, so if you're going to go into business for yourself, because that's what he wanted to do, on average, you're going to fail three times. I believe the college isn't gonna give you anything other than the aptitude to get back up after somebody either downsizes you or you lose your first businesses, your aptitude to get back up and go at it again, instead of crawling in a hole and giving up. Because so many people would crawl into a hole and give up. And they're not giving you anything except for debt. Again, before my eyes were completely open, don't disagree at all with what you're saying. Yeah, why are they giving, you know, and it's a truth in advertising crime. Because they tell these kids who have been through the indoctrination camps of public education and private education, a lot of it has to be in compliance with what the government tells them they can teach you. So they've got, it's government schools. And so by the time they get into college, they're already, they're already brainwashed. And now you go into college, we're going to give you a wonderful future in gender studies. You know what? I hate to say it. Those of us who have been married for a long time, we've had a crash course. I don't need to know any more about gender studies because I'm married to a man and he's a man's man's man. I'm going to tell you, he's, he's not. The long and the short, the long and the short to that though is And my wife went easy on me this weekend. She went to a friend's wedding in Indianapolis. She works in the financial aid office for a university. So Trump is constantly saying, if I pulled the plug on everything, we'd see sixty percent of our universities go out of business. So her friend and I have had conversations. She comes down here occasionally because it's Florida. And We have these good discussions. They're not arguments at all, but they're good discussions. But she's talking about the financial aid and how all these people get this and get that. And Trump's saying, okay, today, underwater basket weaving, I'm not gonna let you give them a financial aid anymore. And then she's talking about all their athletes, their soccer teams. Every one of them is from another country. She's giving them financial aid so they can be scholar athletes to be soccer players on this team. Oh, well, if we didn't do that, our teams wouldn't be any good. We wouldn't be able to drive this. I said, but you're taking away from every American for that. Well, we have to do that. You can have more toys and sit at the big table with the people with the spotlight. It's so raw. And so my wife says to me, she says, I'm really glad that you didn't go because she actually had the soccer team come out and they were actually laying out some of the stuff. So they worked at her daughter's wedding to put the placements out and everything else. She says, I know you would have been triggered with all that going on because, of course, not a single one of them is a United States citizen. right hey can we can we pivot a minute to this i'm going to give women some advice okay yes so i'm going to give them some gender studies boss level crash course for somebody that is is married because i didn't need to take class on this okay and and such i'm gonna so i come on you know i i talk a lot and women have like how many more words than men on a normal day what is it like like men run out of words and they're done talking my wife can't shut me up so i don't know maybe i'm okay maybe i'm a trainer okay i've got a lot of male characteristics too because i go right into into neutralizing all all threats okay i'm not a person that's going to sit back here with my knitting needles and wait for the the right condition to happen i'm going to go in there with on my on my little pony with my swords of flying like joan of arc right and so that's kind of more my mo and but and you're you're more loquacious like like most women are but most men run out of words at about two thousand words a day okay They do not have typically, and I'm going to say typically, they do not talk through their problems. And this was part of what I learned when I was working with men's grief and how men deal with issues and such. Men will go get a whole bunch of guys around them. When they say they need help, it's because they actually want your opinion. And they want you on their team to go do that. They'll work on a project together, right? Right. women will usually want to talk okay a lot of women want to talk so when then this is funny my husband taught me this and he is right in your face with his opinions he has no filter so if i start talking to my husband and he's hit the rope limit with listening which is very short for him extraordinarily short he will look at me right away and say i don't effing care go find a girlfriend And it's true. And I'm really glad that he is. That's why a relationship works really well. You know, there have been times when I'd say that when I've said to him, get out of my effing truck right now, because I've had it. Go find something to do. You're driving me nuts. But that's the kind of relationship we have. And it's actually very honest. It's not mean. It's understanding where the boundaries are. So I'm going to give women a really good piece of advice. If you want your husband to really, really melt around you and love you, stop competing with him. stop competing, and realize he's not gonna go out there and tell anybody what's on his heart. He's not gonna do it. He's gonna bury this. He's not gonna say a thing. He's gonna bury it, he's gonna have stress, and he's gonna try to find things to do to let that stress out, whether it's work, it's usually doing something. But if you really wanna help your husband, sit there, and this is what I do with my husband all the time. When we're together, we get up in the morning, And I will literally sit there without saying a word for sometimes two hours. And he will start talking and all of a sudden it's like a flood of emotions and of not like he's crying, but he's telling me his thoughts. He would never do this with another guy. But I make the environment safe for him to say everything and anything without arguing, questioning it. I just listen. I just listen. So when we're looking at each other as being wired very, very differently, you have to respect how God created men. Because men are selfless, wonderful, beautiful. They're selfish too sometimes. I'm going to tell you that. And I would never say to a woman to be a doormat. That's stupid. That's playing a very perverse role in the relationship. And we don't even know how to have a right relationship anymore, most of us, because we've been programmed. But if you just stop and not argue and not feel that you're vulnerable if you actually listen to somebody without countering their argument, but just let people talk. Don't react. Stop. Center yourself, be at peace, and realize there's no competition here. You're literally helping to heal another human soul. And there's an awesome power that goes along with a listening heart. You're literally taking in more information and getting smarter every minute by not trying to respond. There's a time and a place for that. And that goes for everyone. There's a time and there's a place for that. However, if you take on that mission to be a listening heart and that healing of a listening heart, especially when, you know, and I can tell you, I know what guys do. They'll kind of, you know, I always tell my husband, stop trying to be a stallion and stallion in me, which is the stallions run the mares around. And there's times that that happens, you know. It's like, get it? It happens when men are insecure. They got to run you around because they see the threats that you may not perceive that they perceive. It's a beautiful thing, honestly, but it comes out of a position of protection. That's part of what God built into men. Men are automatic protectors. I'll ask you a question, and now this is going to be interesting. You're right in the middle of a gender studies course right now. I took a poll of all the guys in my house because we talk about everything, right? And my sons, my daughters, and my husband and I, right? And I asked them one day, I said, how much stress do you have going to the mall? and they were all a lot, a lot of stress. I hate going to a mall because I'm looking at all the people around us going, going, there's my wife, she's over there shopping. They're not paying attention to anything except for the deals that are going on or what she's trying to buy. And my husband will stand here like this and he's watching everything that's going on and he is immediately in a hostile environment ready to absolutely neutralize anyone that looks like they're going to be a threat to the people he loves. My sons, who are very, typically if you met them, more or less have a peaceful continence, which my husband does not. My husband will go right into savagery because he's a hunter, he's this, that, and the other thing. You get the picture, right? My sons, more or less, are much more peaceful, okay? And my sons responded the exact same way, though. They're like, I see threats where nobody else does, and it makes me a little angry. Yeah. So... For me, I would say I'm not stressed at going to the mall because I don't go to the mall. There you go. The second part is I know that my wife actually doesn't like to shop either. So we're very lucky. But my daughter does like to shop. So they have to go out occasionally. So if I am the driver, because I'm more the driver than the shopper, I will literally find a bench to sit on. And to your husband's credit, we'll make sure that I can see my family at all times. That is literally what I will do. I will shop, walk around, be entertained more than anything at watching people, but eventually I'll literally sit down and make sure I can see them. If I'm lucky enough, I'll sit next to another man who's doing the same thing, and we end up talking about something completely different. That's exactly it. That is exactly it. I actually do not like to shop. So for me, I will shop, but when I go in, I'm looking for something specific. I don't hobby shop. Right, right. But that's something that I think that women need to respect and ask Ask questions, but not ones like, why are we doing this? Why are you doing that? Stop it. It's insanely annoying for men. Well, there's a couple of things that you've said that have actually had me think a little bit, because obviously my wife and I have been married for thirty three years. We knew each other for quite a while before we got married. But you understand who they are. You understand their strengths, their weaknesses. They understand your strengths, your weaknesses. And both of those mentalities give you a structure of comfort. In the world of dating... There's always that guard up on both sides. The male has to prove himself and sometimes ways that he shouldn't. There's some really stupid things that people do, men do to get women, but the same thing can be said about women and what they've done. And we've watched society evolve And probably a little bit more of the extreme than certainly even we're comfortable with. But I also think that society and that devil above us is placing all this in there in front of us to get us to go into that direction, as we've all heard the term normalize things. So when you take a step back that their whole goal was to destroy the family, you can see it. And that comfort level that maybe you and I have because of our relationships of the length of time that make us better citizens, our youth. And frankly, when I say our youth, people that are forty and younger may never see that until society, to your point, slows down and retrenches what really is important. How often, here's a pointed question, because I'm going to work on ethics and building people's spirits back up and helping them to understand human beings a little bit better, which I find a little perplexing sometimes, but you know, we all do. But how often, and I'm going to ask everybody that's out there watching this, how often have you looked at your spouse and said, I'm so proud that I'm married to you? How often has people looked at their spouse and said, I treasure this about you. I love this about you. I love your heart. I love that you are so caring. And then start listing things off that they have done, not what they've done. You took the trash out today. Knock it off. What their heart, it tells them that you actually know them. And it's not even their activities, though most people want to be recognized for what they do. I get that. But what I love about my husband is I love how smart he is. He is incredibly smart. And he never graduated from high school. He's very successful, but he didn't have the programming. And he sat down and he incessantly reads and educates himself because he thought he was ahead of all of us in the curve because he was done with this when he was eighteen years old. He's a farmer and he's incredibly smart. He knows history better than anyone I know on the planet. And he's a gracious reader. He can sit and read an entire book in about four to six hours. He's just, and he retains all of it. It's incredible. He is so, he's got such good critical thinking skills that on his own, he can see through the bullshit right away. It's fast and he can drill down on exactly what's happening. Yeah, and that's a trait that most people don't. When you say, you know, what am I proud about my wife? I can honestly say I'm not proud of anything. But when I look at her, I say that I'm lucky. And the reason I say I'm lucky is, again, sometimes you can identify that opposites attract. When my wife's parents both passed away within six months of each other, She was so caring. She would be able to go in there. She would be able to soothe them on their hospital bed. She would be able, I literally called her Florence Nightingale because she had something that I don't. I would never be able to do that. That is compassion that is frankly beyond me for lack of, you know, being too full disclosure. But that's like, wow, that's amazing how you can do that and put people at rest. I put people at rest in a different manner. But because I'm financially driven, my son's now an accountant. I've got him kind of up and running. When he's not around, I'll say a few things to your point. We'll get up in the morning. I'll say, I've been up to an hour and a half, two hours. I've been reading all this stuff. You should, blah, blah. She looks at me. She says, I'm not Nick. I'm not your son. Call him. So she does that to me. But because I'm the financial guy and because I've literally been downsized, like I said, through corporate America, I actually posted something on LinkedIn the other day, a guy that I worked with at Dial was calling out Dial for all the people that were leaving. And I threw out a scenario that actually happened to me that I would piss off my managers. Because they would always tell you they want change. They encourage feedback. They want this. Well, at Dial, what we called an incremental program, so because I worked in sales planning and we actually moved the money around the country, I knew what incremental really was. So if I spent ten thousand dollars to drive ten thousand dollars in sales, the company literally lost money. But guess what? If the sales team actually got that incremental program, whether the company lost money or not, the sales management would get their bonus. Because they were selling to hit the top line number, never to the bottom line number. And I literally went against one of the VPs and said, I'm not going to do that. I don't have any more incremental programs that would be profitable to the organization. Two years later, I was downsized. I was targeted. They took me out. That happened to me at Kimberly Clark. Same thing. And my wife would literally say, why do you do this? Why do you challenge senior management? You should know better. And that was through our careers because she worked in corporate America as well. She still does. And now she looks back at that and thinks to herself and tells me occasionally, she doesn't like to admit it, maybe you were right. But she also knows because I invested well, we also got lucky. That could have happened if that could have happened to anybody else that couldn't get back up and couldn't move forward. You're forced to stay in line with corporate America to succeed in society. I did get lucky because I invested well. And my wife and I were at odds at times when that happened to me. But you know what? Now she looks back and she's been downsized and she's like, corporate America is not good. And it's kind of wild how it takes time to evolve to really see that. And that's where I think relationships and family are so key to society and people just don't give that time to evolve. Well, and you also, like when we're in a relationship, we're helping each other to grow. And that doesn't mean that we're always right in lockstep with it. It's learning to resolve those differences. And most of it comes with stopping and listening to the other person. You don't have to agree. And then having a civil discussion on why, not getting angry or emotional, but just having a civil discussion. If you listen more in that regard than when you talk, you will bring peace to almost every situation. Because even when I do conflict management in business situations, and my husband has said this to me, he said, hands down, you are the best person I've ever known at disarming fights. and or arguments and such, you know, that in a business situation, because sometimes you'll get really hostile. And I mean, I've seen it where people have about come to blows and I'll step right in between them and say, okay, guys, we're gonna solve this. Not a problem. It's gonna be okay. And you're going to both walk out of here feeling great about it. And he always said, I never understood why you run right into conflict. The rest of us are afraid of it, are afraid of going into conflict. He's like, and you just run right in there like it's nothing. And it drives him nuts because he always thought that it seemed like he wanted to defend me. And I had to tell him, you have to stand down. This is what I do. And let me handle this because this is my skill set. And finally, he kind of got it figured out. And he just, he stands there, you know, as a protector, which is wonderful. But he lets me disarm and get everybody working together. And there's a way to do that. And it is to listen. But, and I forgot what I was going to talk about right there in the fact that. Well, listening is a skill that we all should be better at. Again, when I say corporate America, I was in sales most of my life. And frankly, as bad as it is, they taught me how to listen. They taught me how to really, and ask the probing questions to really get to the undermining real reason that you're there. What is it that you need? Sales is a function of developing what you need, selling them your ideas, making it his ideas, which is crazy, but it is the truth. But the one thing that my wife always hated about me that she's now very comfortable with, and to your kind of conversation, I love what I call constructive conflict. Because until you reach that conflict, you're not really going to get to the root of the issue. People will tell you what they think you want to hear first. They'll tell you a little bit of what's really on their mind. But if there's a true issue that you guys don't see eye to eye on, you've almost got to broach that conflict before you actually get to the underlying message. Well, you also have to establish, this is what I was going to say, you also have to come from a point of not being right, but caring about that other person as a human being who you're talking to. So let's just say I have a tenant that comes in that is absolutely furious about something that went on and is absolutely furious about it, whether it's a conflict with another tenant or pipe broke or whatever it is. I mean, things happen in life. And wanting to blame everybody. The first words out of my mouth are going to be, wow, I really appreciate that you care so much. And then it tells me that you have a heart or a knack for detail. then all of a sudden they're like yeah somebody understands me and that will be they won't say it but they'll communicate it somebody understands the true intention of my heart and it's true I would I never say anything that's not true but I will see what where I'll evaluate where the stress is coming from first and say oh I see you know I see that you have stress in this direction that's a good thing that makes you human if you didn't have that stress you wouldn't care. And that tells me that you're a caring person. And then we can get to talking about things and say, let's go through this until I understand. Because I speak a different language than you do. You speak the language of John. I speak the language of Donna. We think we're speaking the same language, but we're not. Because in our own experiences, we define things differently. So now you have to teach me your language and how you evaluate it. And I want to understand you. And I'm going to sit here quietly and I'm not going to say a word. I just want you to brain puke on me everything that's going through your mind so that I can understand you. And then we can start talking about a solution. I don't offer a solution even if I have one. And it's simple to me. You know, I went into a couple of conflicts where there was a conflict between people that lived upstairs and downstairs, and they were just ready to come to blows. And I knew this was going to be like a chip shot of ease for me to resolve. So I went in there with a couple of bottles of wine, boom, sat on the middle of the table, and knew that what this was going to be was a two-hour listening to people who have gone to crazy world rather than to understand each other. So I said, well, you know, they came in with masks on. This was during COVID. I said, I'm going to sit here. I don't wear masks, but you do. So you should be, you should be protected right now. So don't worry about it. You can wear at least six, six feet apart. I didn't argue with them about the six foot rule. I didn't try to be right. because their minds weren't there. And I, and I said, now you're both going to have your own reason for feeling the way you do. And I'm going to validate that. And I'm going to say, say, I want to know how you think. And you're going to tell me everything's in your mind. And I, and, and we're just going to listen, no response. But if you go to calling names or, or, or being hostile to each other, game over. And I got ten years to screw with you legally. So there was a threat for good behavior. And it is true. Okay. So, so the point being is that one was mad because actually they were the one guy was deaf and he couldn't hear anything. And the other guy had lost his job. And so was sitting there worried about how to make payments or, or survive. And so after a while, you know, we were talking and laughing and everybody said, you know, if you want to take your masks off, you know, let's, let's have a glass of wine together. I said, it'd be, it'd be great. We'll just sit here as friends and talk. By the end of the night, they were laughing. And I said, why don't you guys realize that you need to take care of each other? Because this guy can't hear. He has no idea. He's driving you absolutely nuts. Right. The real reasons, right? The real reasons are there. And this guy's out of a job. He needs a friend. Why don't you check in on each other and maybe go out for dinner and bring dinner to each other and get together and try to help each other through your stressful situations. They walked out of there and they're like, oh man, can we go to your barn tonight? Let's go see the horses. And they literally became friends. at a point where they were ready to throw blows. Now, if we translate that into our spouses and our children, my kids drive me nuts once in a while too. And I raised them and I love them to pieces and I educate them, right? And it's true with everybody. Everybody gets fed up with people at a point in time. We have systems in our house to create boundaries. Like if I come in and I'm sick of people because I've had to deal with craziness, I'm like, cave time, which means I love you, just leave me alone for a while. I'm gonna be a bear, I'm gonna crawl in my cave and process my day. Just don't talk to me, don't look at me, don't hit me with anything until I've had a few minutes to just process, finish my day out, maybe do a little work around here as I'm processing and then I can be civil again and nice and I'm not gonna drag my day into your day. So if you ever hear me say cave time in my house, that means shut the hell up and leave me alone. I love you, but I need a few minutes of peace. And nobody takes offense to it because we all have the same language in that. And we all leave people alone that are dealing with the craziness in the outside world. And we respect it and we do it because we love each other. There's no offense taken. You know, and so with my kids, I give my kids a blessing. So my husband and I give our kids a blessing every single day at night before they go to bed. We all touch base and we all give each other a blessing to go to bed at the end of the day. And that's an important part of our family life. But it's also looking at people and go, man, I'm so amazed to love you and to know you, to know you as a human being, not because they're my kids, but it's because of I know them. And I do the same thing with my friends. I'm so honored to be your friend. I'm so honored. And lift them up. The world tears everybody down all the time. But you can't do that if you don't know someone or if you don't take a few minutes to be quiet. and understand the gifts and the things that God Almighty built into them that you should be in awe of. Every single person around you has something that God built into them that's better than you in a certain area. It's not a bad thing. It's okay. Or it's just acknowledgement of that they were created by God and the uniqueness. Wow. It gives everybody their purpose. I noticed this about you today. What? Gives everybody their purpose. Absolutely. It's amazing. And we can all do that. We should be doing that. Like I'm in awe at you with the grasp that you are able to see the financial, follow the money stuff, but connect it to everyday events and the things that are affecting everybody's life. I love that about you. You do it. Robert does it. And I love people that can do that. I think it's great. I think it's kind of funny because, again, my son's now twenty eight and they used to give me a hard time because I was the only one back in two thousand six, two thousand seven that had the cell phone and I never carried around. And I think I've told you that before. But he literally looked at me the other day and he says, Dad, I think I figured it out. What's that? He says, I know why you didn't carry your cell phone on the weekends. I know why you would literally go outside to do yard work. I know why you would go and work on projects where nobody was around. So you mentioned the cave time and how you had to qualify that. And you mentioned the difference between man and woman. Men would simply go off and do something by themselves. And he says, I get it now because every minute of every day, as long as this thing is connected to me, somebody needs me. That gives you an opportunity to do something to clear your mind. to actually not be in demand by somebody else. To commune with God. Yes. So it was just like, you know, they don't really start to figure it out until later in life, but it's really rewarding when they do. Have you gotten smarter in your kids' eyes every year? Oh, well, honestly, my kids, they both, and to your point earlier, they go to mom And I hate to say it to you this way, but they go to mom for the emotional piece. But they do come to me for the financial piece. They don't bother me with the emotional piece at all. They know, and for lack of better terms, callousness, being a man, whatever it is, emotions make me upset. I get it. Do not play emotions on me. Tell me the facts. Let's figure it out. Let's fix it. The emotions, that's what mom's for. And as sexist as that may sound, I don't care. You don't often care, you know, and, and to the point with my husband too, it's like when, when my mom was dying and one of my sons was having a problem with it, he was, he was really, he was really having, having a hard time watching, you know, my, both my mom and my dad passed, but my husband was there and my son, he, he just, you know, he, he, uh, he gave him permission to feel. And two, he was probably the best support for our one son, who's a very soft-hearted kind of guy. He really feels for people and cares about people very deeply. He's the one that will, if somebody's hurt, he's the one that will go in and change bandages and absolutely make sure that that person is completely cared for i mean that won't even change my own bandages yeah that's that's uh that would be my husband but but the our son he's the one that is going to make sure that that any trouble that somebody's going through um he will dive in and he doesn't have any qualms really doing any care of anything. He's the one that will jump in, and I see it with the horses too, or the animals. If there's a problem with one of the animals, he will be the one that will dive in and pull a shoe that's hanging on by one nail, or you know what I mean? He's very hands-on with his care. That's not emotions. That's a reality thing. That's something that needs to be done. And emotions can keep people from actually doing it. Right, but he will also make sure that everybody's provisioned and he's watching people all the time. So he doesn't have a script of what he's supposed to do. He's literally taking cues off of the people around him and what they need. And he will be the first one to respond and know how that person's feeling. And he will be the one that will jump in and literally pick that person up or do whatever it takes to get them out of danger bandage him up take care of him whatever that's his personality and to see my husband jump in and and give him permission to feel and and prop him up was one of the most beautiful things I think I've ever seen it was just beautiful to watch them interact together and nobody else could have done it the way that my husband did it was very very caring and very wise and And just incredible, incredibly sensitive. It was beautiful. But and just how he did it out there, how he did it. That's flower giver on the planet. And you guys need to aspire to this because he's got this thing dialed in. Well, but how he did it was he enabled somebody else. He he shared with somebody else how that was important. He didn't really do it with that emotional piece. He actually identified the emotional piece and said, it's okay. And I won't say that I'm doing something similar, but when my wife's parents both passed away, they were too broke up to give a eulogy they asked me to and that's quite emotional so even i teared up during it but i did better than they would have so when you sit there and you watch everybody in the room basically bawling your eyes out on what you're going to say and i didn't know them well enough i was willing to step up and do that but as i watch things like this and i this is kind of really sad state of affairs at our house so just bear with me My sister's brother has passed away too. He was cremated. We have his ashes in our house. And I'm like, We need to like spread them out. So when they used to go on vacation, I'm trying to get her to dump some and, you know, the high school football field and all this other stuff. So we need to do something to help them out. So even though that's not that emotional, it's bringing in you have to do something about the emotions because. I know for a fact, and they're in the garage, so I'm really sad about that, but I see them all the time. And they're out of sight and out of mind to my wife, and I'm like, you know, the last thing I want to do is pass away and have our kids have to deal with this house and find this cremation of your brother. We need to be more proactive. So those are the kind of things that I do in what I would say in the emotional aspect, but it's to get... other people to act less emotional so and it sounds like that's what your husband is trying to do as well enabling them to do it but doing it without the emotion really other than just identifying the emotions are okay yeah he's a very it's an amazing thing i just got to tell all you guys out there that that i really i really enjoy I really enjoy the whole interaction, the male-female interaction, like brothers, fathers, uncles, you know, in the family, not the flirty, predatorial crap. I hate that. I absolutely hate that predatorial, using other people thing. It's completely disgusting to me. But when you see families and how they interact and why that's so healthy, that you'll watch the beauty come out in human beings in a family setting when people actually care about each other and honor each other in their in how God created them and how people will make sure that each other is being watched you know I always the the definition of love or what it not the definition but what love looks like is focused attention If you stop and give somebody just a little focused attention, you're validating their existence. And if you live by that code of love, you're literally giving people that honor as a human being, a creation of God every minute of your day. And it becomes very easy to do after a while. Like I don't intentionally do it, but I know that I do that. That's part of my ML. And it's just sort of, it's sort of my personality. but I understand how it works. So for me, I don't see the difference between classified relationships like, you know, this is my sister, that is my brother, that is my neighbor or something like that. I see this is my family because our family is the human family. And so focused attention gives me the ability to pay attention to that person. Just like my son is that see that person as a human being that's part of my family and deeply care about the struggles that they carry and want to do what I can do to help them. Fred came into the office the other day, just absolutely just absolutely crying. And I sat and of course, we have a lot of shared memories in the past. And by the time we talked through it and such, she was laughing so hard. We were laughing so hard. She goes, why is laughter so healing? It's like, because we know each other and because we know each other and sometimes life is absurd. And if you can go back to those things and go, none of this was anybody's fault. This is, this is, you know, this is just the way it is. But we ended up going into the friendship mode. And by the time she left, it was like, we went from the process of sadness and tears. And she's like, you're more of a family to me than anybody that's ever been blood relationship with me. And we can all have those relationships by that focused attention and wanting that person to have those relationships around her be healthy. And step back and encourage those better, those relationships that God has put us into. Not to overstep them, but be a paraclete, which is the term for the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is like a paraclete that walks alongside of you, is not the same. is not overstepping but walking alongside of you when you need somebody to lead lean on in in walking this journey of life it's really beautiful but anyhow while this went into crazy places i never never yeah we didn't really talk much about finances today but that's quite all right It was good. What a great discussion, because honestly, these are the discussions that we need. We need these discussions that is a godly or a blueprint for how to go back to not just in a government structure, but a family structure, an education structure, how we go back to that radical self-sufficiency and can live with human beings around us. and be a blessing to the people around us because the churches aren't teaching it, they're pop psychology stuff. They're not encouraging healthy relationships. The churches have all fallen under the same scope as the government, they want their hand up. When you see things where people are trying to make you dependent on that relationship or dependent on, I've got to put this much time into this person or the relationship falls apart. You know, it's like if you can't walk away from a relationship, come back in and twenty years later, have it be exactly the same without looking like it missed any time at all. you're really not accomplishing how relationships work. So I've had the opportunity, and one of the things that's kind of amazing about working for corporate America, you've got your nose at a grindstone, blah, blah, blah. Since I don't work anymore, since I got involved in all this shenanigans, for lack of better terms, I have met more interesting people the last six years than I've ever met in my entire life. And to your point, you get to know these people, you get to listen to these people, you get to understand these people. And what was really kind of fun is there's a gentleman that I actually was going to the HREC, we live in the same neighborhood, he worked for the Peace Corps, he's been, you know, went worldwide, built churches all over the place, so very religious. I'm not as far on that side, no questions asked. But what he was actually saying to us one time, because he was involved and we were having a meeting, and there's this one guy that was all about the money. He wanted to get the money. He was on our board. He was using the board of the HREC to actually reach out to politicians to be a consultant. So you could see that's where he was going. We saw that. We literally identified it as a conflict of interest, yada, yada, yada. And this gentleman, his name is Rick, is sitting there and he was watching us basically remove this guy from the board, okay? So I hate to say it, the Republicans, I was part of it. We removed him from the board. What I'd like to say is for the right reasons, but he was quoting a lot of the gospel and the scripture. At the end, you know, he wasn't very religious or didn't say talk like that when we first met him, but he evolved. Through two years of knowing him, he evolved, okay? So to me, it wasn't as obvious. And the minute he left and he quoted some scripture and walked out, Rick, who was a minister all his life, Peace Corps, did all this stuff, churches, Argentina, all over the world. He says, yeah, I knew it was a problem when he started throwing out the scripture at the end. why he says because when you see people like that they like to hide behind the scripture when they know they're wrong and i was like whoa that was a profound statement from rick you know the the guy that does all the prayers for all of our meetings and everything else just like wow he really cut to it there and it was unfortunately he's probably spot on which is crazy So again, you learn to meet these people, you start to understand them. And, you know, even to this day, he and I are very good friends and it's because he's still involved and I'm still involved. But the stories that he told me over the last, you know, two and a half, three years now that I've known him, he grew up in Daytona, long hair, hippie, right? went into the Peace Corps. I'm sorry, everything we see about those types of establishments today, we think, at least I do, what was really going on. The Red Cross is now handing out all this stuff in Spain. All this money laundering is done, in my opinion, by a lot of these organizations. UN sexual crimes. Exactly. He worked for the... peace corps for years then he went into the ministry okay nothing wrong there but then he went around through the throughout the world building communities building homes okay i'm starting to question a little bit of that then he spends time in argentina And this is about the time they're all talking. My son's telling me about all the stuff that he's hearing online about Hitler and how all the Germans moved from Germany to Argentina. This guy's last name is Kuntz. Okay. And, you know, he's talking. And so I start telling him this on one of the trips. He says, oh, yeah, that's common knowledge. This is where they live. And it's like, okay, so you know where Maduro was caught? Basically over in this north... west corridor of south america is where they've all pretty much hung out and and he's telling me about all this he knows exactly where it is he's talking about all this stuff so i'm i'm i'm just like so wait a minute peace corps ministry okay churches worldwide spend you know five years in argentina so do you know anything about miramar and i think i say it wrong the border of china To where there was the issues with the elected official that Obama had put in place right after the twenty twenty election where the military came in and did the coup and took her out. So all that stuff was going on. One of the scriptures in the Q post was to watch Miramar. Long and short, again, I may be saying it wrong, but it's literally on the border of like Indonesia and China and right over there. Myanmar? Myanmar. I was like, Myanmar, I don't know that. Because I was calling the trafficking in Myanmar because they were trafficking people like there's no tomorrow there. So you'll get a kick out of this. That's where his son lives. I'm like, you know, and we're talking about it. And I said, he's telling me that he's talking to a son who lives in Marmar and the government's in a straight flux and he's in hiding and all this wild stuff, right? And I explained to him what I know. And he's like, well, I didn't know about any of that. Yeah. How many people don't know about any of the stuff that happened, like what was going on in Haiti with the Clintons? And then tie that into the- I got a neighbor that lives two doors down and has two adopted kids from Haiti. And I look at my, you know, as we drive by and they're walking the dog, I just looked at my wife and I said, we have no idea whether these kids were stolen or what. And I guarantee you the family has no idea because they went to Haiti to build churches. I mean, it's just like, it's crazy that the Clintons took all that money and what, ten percent of it ends up in Haiti and the rest of it ends up in their pocket, which is just nuts. So, like I said... The things and the people we meet are crazy along these paths. It's amazing all the experiences that we have as individuals. And we need to share all those stories because that's where things get real. We're not supposed to run out on a stage for five seconds and then just take off because... We're hiding what the realities are. People should know each of us like a friend and feel comfortable enough to reach out and sit down with us and have a conversation without having somebody else talk through our mouths. This is part of the problem. But I really love this. I love sitting down and talking with you and Robert. And I've got a new friend, Autumn, and I love Autumn. She's so fun because we're all well-educated on what's really going on. And we're not afraid to talk about it and put it out there because we need to have these tavern discussions that happened at the beginning of our country where we're sitting there. Face to face, able to see the humanness of another person and have a discussion where we're really talking from our heart, not because we're manipulating things or we want something, just because we want to be helpful in this fallen world. And I think this is great. Well, and that is what I've told my kids and my wife in the beginning was reluctant for me to talk like I do. But now she sees the light. And again, that's the differences of us. Don't get involved. Don't be that conflict. But what I've explained to my kids is the day is going to come. And because you know what you know, you're going to be in a position to help people. Literally, with your knowledge, with what I've been able to provide, what you've been able to pick up on their own now, because now they're coming to me with stuff. They can literally be the education for the people that are going to need help when it does happen. And I've told them it's going to happen. I just don't know when. I have a lot of ideas and how to write things, including getting a population back to work who has been really mesmerized into going from one instant gratification hollow activity to the next and I and I've been working on this is going to be part of my plan on how to how to get people back to work when you know you take away the eighty-five percent tax rate that we're under right now with all the discretionary taxes and such I'd like people to think about this you're working through October to take anything in that you've worked for the entire year and it's all going to fees and licensure and all of that sort of thing those have become taxes and they're they're not fees right it's a tax to participate to give you to grant you privileges which are rights that you shouldn't have to pay for and so all of the subscription nonsense that's going on that's on top of it but when you look at the tax rate That they've got going on right now. Man, our founding fathers, it would have been over. It was over at two percent. And now look at us. We've been conditioned to take the beatings that we have to be a victim of these monsters. We're conditioned to listen to them and then pass on their narration. Well, I know we didn't talk about finances too much, but I'd like to share this if you've got a minute. I think you're trying to get away. Give me one second. I'm going to go ahead and talk. I'll be listening to you. OK, it's going to be more about the Clarity Act. And I know I'll listen to you, but I'm just hanging out. I stand up a stretch for just a minute. OK, that's all right. But it has to do with the Clarity Act and it has to do with the Genius Act. And frankly, it has to do with what I deem is possibly the end of our fiat currency. Again, to go on the gold standard, all these other things. What people really are not watching, again, is our debt. They're going to come out with another continuing resolution probably at the end of this year to push on more debt for the United States. And literally, the Genius Act was put into place. to bring cryptocurrency into existence. I'm not a fan of cryptocurrency because it can be tracked. The genius act actually had enough loopholes that they could either side could win the game. So remember what I said about AI and how, you know, in the hands of the wrong person, it's not good, but as long as it's addressed correctly, it can be very advantageous. So the long and short is if our dollar is dying, We have to have an alternative system, just like what happened when Nixon took us off the gold standard and he put us on the petrodollar. There literally was an alternative system in the petrodollar from the gold standard. Today, Trump is looking at the crypto space. I don't like it, but people understand it. Our youth understands it. And that has literally opened up the door for me to have solid conversations with kids between eighteen and twenty five. I absolutely love it. They all know fiat's dead. They all know crypto's available. They all think it's getting out of the system, blah, blah, blah. But what the Genius Act actually did was enabled it to exist at the same time as the as the petrodollar as a dollar so they're running simultaneously as governments become more and more disenfranchised in our debt they're selling our treasuries same thing that happened in the seventies when we moved to the petrodollar that's what spiked inflation what they did with the genius act is they said if you want to be a cryptocurrency if you want to have a jb coin You have to be legitimate in the in the United States. You have to be backed one to one by Treasury bonds. So the Genius Act literally forced everybody that wanted to play in the crypto space to be backed by treasury bonds. So if Japan is selling my treasury bonds, I got the crypto bros buying treasury bonds, keeping our currency alive. That was the Genius Act. But again, there's enough nefarious stuff in there. If the wrong hands, if Biden happened to win again next time, he could actually introduce the central bank digital currency and we're dead. Long story short, the Genius Act enabled the treasury bonds to keep our economy humming. Now, what they're talking about with the Clarity Act, which is still not there, and have I explained this one to you? Just keep going. Okay. As I talk about the Clarity Act, what they've done is the banks, as I used to have a bank account, I got five percent on my money. I literally got five percent. When I was a kid, I got a bank book and I could go in and I could say, okay, now you got another five dollars, got another five dollars. So they gave me interest on my money. The banks do not do that today. The banks, to your point, are all part of the banking cartel. They're all tied to London. It's because of our interest rates and our debt, nobody can afford to give you interest anymore. So what do the crypto coins do? They're giving you, if you give me your money, Ethereum, if you give me your money, stake it is what they call it, I'll give you six percent return. Well, the banks are like, well, they can't do that. Where's that money come from? They're literally telling us the same thing that they did can't happen. where does that money come from well it's created okay what do you mean it's created well it's created by the banking system interest rates there's only a hundred dollars but the interest is all created the longest the long and short is all cryptocurrency is is the old banking system So what they're trying to push through in the Clarity Act, which there's enough Democrats that are probably going to support it because they don't really see it. You got the banks trying to say no, no, no, because if you give interest rates, people will remove the money from the banks, putting it all in cryptocurrency, inevitably collapsing our financial institutions. Lo and behold, surprise, surprise, they're right. So what they're doing, what's actually in the law now is they want to actually apply it to give you a points program. hate points program nobody knows how to use points if you buy airline tickets you get a bunch of points you can there's windows you can't use it blah blah blah but the point system enables the companies the world to actually instead of using the chinese digital world or now the euro digital world and ukraine was the actual model for the central bank digital currency of the of the world it was literally put into place in twenty two This now gives us a level of playing in those other governments. So if I have a crypto space, if I have a cryptocurrency, now I can take my currency and spend that in China. I can spend it in Europe. I can spend it in Ukraine because now I'm on the same platform as what they're creating. But by using the US dollars cryptocurrency, On a point system, I would accrue points by spending money in China to actually be able to buy things made in America. So by pushing through the Clarity Act, which is absolutely happening right now, it's probably going to be, I think Besson said he's looking at an August eighth deadline. So that's, I think, this Friday. I don't know what happens after August eighth. If it doesn't go through, I'm hearing that there's a good chance that it's going to go through. OK, so I'm hearing there's a good chance that it's going to go through. But the long and the short is they want to push this through to actually then. run complete simultaneous economies financially with our dollar and crypto across the board so they're establishing the platform underneath for when the fiat currency does implode that's my opinion and i think it enables you as much as so like i said with ai if it's in the wrong hands it's a problem if it's in the right hands as long as it's managed and applied correctly and that means all eyes open full disclosure everything else it will enable us to compete in a world that's changing outside of our dollars. So what Trump is trying to do is literally become the cryptocurrency of the world, which then places him in the same perspective as maintaining the world's currency. So to me, I can see how it all could unfold. I think I've mentioned this to you before. I believe the SWIFT system has always been the hedge money to actually start every war through sanctions. Back in the early two thousands, two thousand six, there was a bunch of white papers. I believe they were written by the CIA. They wanted the CIA to have all these MIT guys to create a digital currency. Give me the white paper on how to create a digital currency, because the currency that we're currently working in today is going to die. So everybody came out. That's why we have so many different digital currencies. Bitcoin was the overengineered one. It was one of the best because it was decentralized. But if you control it, it's a problem. Trump has literally built a Bitcoin reserve to where he's sanctioning everywhere he's going around and catching all these criminals, he's collecting all the Bitcoin. So we can be the digital capital of the world. Trump could literally, so in the Swiss system today, if I'm buying something from Russia, It goes up in the SWIFT system in U.S. dollars. Rubles go up in the SWIFT system in rubles. And all the money spit back out in U.S. dollars. That's what makes us the world currency. What they could literally do with Bitcoin is replace the SWIFT system with Bitcoin, which is decentralized. That way, when I interchange with Russia, my money goes up there, their money goes out there. It all spits back onto the digital currency. No longer will it be in a US dollar or a Russian dollar, but it'll be a uniform dollar that nobody can control. Again, if Trump manages that platform, with integrity, you know, like you've said in the past, but if he can manage that with integrity, with the trust of the world, we can still become the world's currency managing it, but we'll never be able to leverage or sanction another government through the swift system or a world currency again, because Bitcoin could be the platform of no government truly controls it. Now I have seen that AI can now break that code can steal the money. There's a lot of things going on behind the scenes that could disrupt all this stuff. But again, that's controlling AI. I believe this with the Clarity Act should be something if people are interested in understanding financials, they should dig into the Clarity Act, the Genius Act, understand the platforms and how they're interacting and think outside the box. Don't use your traditional thinking, but think outside the box. How could that fit in our world tomorrow? Because, again, I talk to my kids, forty and under. Money. Who's got money in their pocket? Everything's in credit. Nobody needs money. And you know what? To a degree, they're right. But to a degree of control, they're wrong. So the issue is they all say, keep it out of the system. Gold is a bar. I can keep it out of the system. Money, ironically, is a piece of paper. I can keep it out of the system. The minute we go into a digital currency, you're no longer out of the system. I don't care who says somebody does or does not control it, but I do believe, unfortunately, just like AI, just like nuclear weapons, just like bioweapons, it's an unfortunate direction that our world is taking us. The cat's out of the bag. We're well on our way. You can either get on board and understand it to learn it, to manage it, or let it manage you. I think that's where we're headed. I think if the audience had done anything to look into cryptocurrency to understand it, my guess is your audience is a little older. Not a single one of them will understand this. But I was literally delivering for the Republican Party door knockers, and I had the best fun when I had a family that their kids were there. And I would talk to the parents about this. And I would talk to their kids about crypto. The parents looked at me like a deer in the headlights. And the kids were just stuck to me like glue. The kids understand this. The kids are our future. And unfortunately, this may be too. Well, this is so interesting. I love listening to you talk about the financial stuff that's going on because it's so complete. Your analysis is always so complete. And I just really appreciate you sharing today. So it is literally... Yes, it's like... this has been a marathon. So I, I, I haven't hit my, my longest show yet, but we're getting close. You know, I think the longest show is four and a half hours. And so that was, it was good. It was Ivan Raiklin. Ivan Raiklin is, is fun. He'll, he'll come on and he's got lots of stuff. And I think this is important, you know, to, I like the long form interviews and I really, really like letting people get everything out. information wise that they know so that people get the whole story and people say, I can't listen to you guys talk this long. It's like, that's fine. I can imagine. That's the hardest part. Yes. It's like, I am here to be educated and I can't do that. If people are just flipping headlines to me, this is, this is honestly, it's like a class for me every single day. I sit here. I'm learning all the time. It's amazing. And I really appreciate you. So much in your wisdom and the things that you know that you're willing to share with everyone. It's extraordinary. So I would like to keep going like we were before. I had to take a little bit of break this summer because I was seating candidates trying to get make sure that that the Constitution Party was healthy moving forward that we had candidates. We seated twenty-two candidates on the ballot in the Michigan U.S. Taxes Party of Michigan, which is the Michigan affiliate of the Constitution Party. I'm really proud of that. When you have people that are demoralized or don't think they have any power and they really get it figured out that, well, I'm going to do this, and then all of a sudden they realize We do have the power to change it. You should see, it's like unleashing a dog that's been in a kennel for hours that just runs around because they're so excited to see that freedom and that empowerment. We have that. We have the ability to do that right now. Just realize that we've always had that ability to do it through the Constitution. And now we got to go forward with this, but everyone matters. Everybody has a role to play. And as we go forward and you realize you have the ability to have your voice heard, you have that ability not to just sit there and being stolen from under coercion, duress and threat. We don't have to do this anymore. Right. But we all got to do it together. Well, I watched your primary a little bit last night, and I guess you could be a part of it. Not mine. I don't participate in it. No, I know you don't. And I said to my wife, I said, I wonder where Donna's at. And she's like, she's an independent dummy. I said, you're right. You're right. But honestly, I'm not an independent. I'm on the taxpayers party, which is a third party. Well, NPA, however they want to call it. Taking foreign money in the elections, which is why I won't go to. Well, you think about it, that's what your DSA guy kept saying, that everybody else is taking foreign money and then he is not. And what, you know, Michigan can't do an election for a month, and yet they're saying this guy's already won. So going to be interesting to watch how, again, is a lot of this being leveraged for an eye-opening, A true awakening. I think the election fraud stuff is still yet to come out in full-fledged. They've already identified it. Even like in Florida, I tried to bring forward a motion with the Republican Party to identify that there was a company called Connick, which you had mentioned. That's why you wanted to talk to me. That's how we got talking. We were down in Florida and you piped up with Connick and I'm like, that's the guy I want to talk to right there. Well, what's interesting is obviously after that Thursday night speech by Trump where he said, know infiltrated with chinese involvement florida's on the list so we've got a guy he's seventy something years old he's on the board i i use the board of the hillsborough party when i give the the treasury's finances i always close with what i call a think slide and i literally at this last meeting sat there and said how many of you watched the trump speech i you know spattering of the room Sad. Forty percent of the room saw it. And I said, so how many of you heard that about the Chinese involvement in the election? And the same amount of hands. And I said, the next time you've got a government official in the state of Florida telling you that we have the gold standard of elections, I want you to look them in the eye and call them a liar. And I said, and you all know who I'm talking about because the guy down there who sits two chairs down from me literally stood up twice in the last year talking about how Florida is the gold standard of elections. He didn't like it. He heard it. But the rest of the room heard it. I got an applause. He and I have had conversations since. But he's like, where do you get all this information? I said, Paul, I take the time to go look it up. If they're just telling you something to tell you to tell it, all you're doing is telling somebody else is what somebody else has told you what to say. If you don't have the time to look it up, you just need to step aside because you're no good to the system. They get a little defensive when I do that. But the long and the short is I'm literally standing up in this next meeting. So the next meeting we're going to have is not until September because Election Day is when our official meeting is going to be. I'm literally going to stand up and hold that brochure up that we paid for that removed candidates from the list and literally say, make sure this is in the notes. I do not condone it. I do not support it. But this is our party. And I'm sure the people on the board are going to be pissed, and I just don't care. I like how Republicans like to virtue signal and say, Democrats, you know what? Just stop it. You're all part of the same system. And if it was going to be fixed, it would have been. You can't fix it within a system that's entrenched as far as it has been. And say that either side, they're just better at hiding it and giving you enough talking points to be virtue signaling everybody. But the whole thing is correct. Well, I had three or four people that when I was knocking on doors that, you know, when I get the opportunity to talk, and unfortunately I can talk, as you know. And I, you know, we got down the whole Kamala Harris was not elected type conversation. And I remind them, and you and I have talked about this, I remind them that that happened once before, but it was the Republican Party and it was Gerald Ford and it was Nixon and all that. I said, so it's not one party or the other, it's how do they get their people in place? And there's usually quite a bit of oohing and aahing when I tell them that, because most of them remember that or are reinforced of that happening or, wow, I need to look into that. That's crazy. And the bankers, they don't care. Pick a side. If you've got two choices, they're controlling the game. If you have multiple choices, now it's much less likely that they're controlling it. But they always go back to that Hegelian dialect where we're fighting each other. You've got two choices, and or one's right, one's wrong, and then now they've divided us up on teams. I know we could talk for probably another hour if I bring this up, but evaluate this and we can talk about it a second time or a different time. But I'd love to know your opinion of Lindsey Graham. Because the things that I've seen, the fact that his coffin had a perfect flag on it, the fact that when he died, he only had three million and not three billion, like a lot of other politicians that we have. I'm actually reading that he was one that turned And told people about what McCain was doing. I don't know. So because there are a lot of things that we all see Lindsey Graham with being the warmonger in Ukraine and everything else. But when you see stuff, when you see that his coffin was covered in his flag was immaculate. and Trump speaks so highly of them, you'll wonder. Because even you and I talked a little bit about this, you know, some of it's acting, and Trump clearly is now saying it's central casting. So how much of this is, you know, what are we really watching here? And, you know, you can even go back to the Kavanaugh hearings and the questions that Lindsey Graham asked. He literally spoke and asked questions that pertain to what's going on right now. Military tribunals was the question that Lindsey Graham asked Kavanaugh when they were going through their process. And it's wild when you take a step back, you have no idea what's going on today. But when you look back and you're able to understand history, how it all ties together, and frankly, how long it's been going on. Is literally crazy. There's a lot of good guys that are playing bad guys. Yes. There's a lot of good guys that are playing bad guys out there. And there's a lot of bad guys that are trying to save themselves. Right. And so it's a complex situation. So who is, you know, we want to look at the face out in front. But the organization behind them is the one where I would rather focus my attention because that's where you're probably going to find the real criminality that's either holding a gun to their head or running it. Well, again, that's where I go back. And you and I have talked about this. I see the banks behind this. I see with what's happened with Jay Clayton. He literally has the information from spending four years over the SEC. He's taken the polity stuff. And now he's being put back into the DNI to where he could bring in all the money laundering from foreign influence that ties that all back to the United States that can tie it all back to the entire government coup. So all the pieces are being put in place. And everything that I've been reading now says that the media says Trump's using confusions. Well, Trump is using confusion. So if he puts you in a position to dig out this, the longer you're there, the easier the target you become to the enemy. So he literally then removes you to put somebody else in to confuse the enemy to get you to retrench and focus on something else. He's not only doing it to protect you, he's doing it to protect your family. You've got a role, you fill that role and he brings a new person in. And it also enables him to get through the appointments without literally having appointments because he knew that those weren't going to be put in place. Well, what else you can look at is he's not going to put the tier one staff out there at the beginning ever. It's going to be when the war is done and the cleanup is done. So you're looking at two tier two staff. And so that's what I see. And then the other thing- Well, what do you think about what Trump said the other day? Specifically? The General Flynn, get ready. Get ready for what? Is he going to be the NSA? Is he going to be the next president? I have no idea. But he is. I don't care what he does, but I think it's going to be great. Oh, I think so, too. So when he said that, I just looked at my wife and I said, I'm telling you, something's happening over here that nobody's even paying attention to. I agree. So I really I really think, though, that if you're in a position where you're making decisions that. You do not always want an outsider. Sometimes you want an insider that you've got a little leverage over. And then the Q post talked about it too, is that if you have somebody that, that you have basically caught in a crime and said, well, guess what? You know, we might be there. There's going to come a time where all deals are off, but right now I need an informant. And that informant, it knows the industry inside and out. That was what my thought was when Pulte was put in place, if you really want to know the truth. Yes. I still don't. I believe Pulte was digging up the corruption in the United States through the housing market. But that's fine. That's a difference of opinions. And it could be. but it could be, and I'm not set on that. He could be a really good guy. But the point being is that he worked in that housing, in the housing market. The housing market is suspect as hell to me because I've seen, so when I see that automatically I'm going, hmm, is he a good guy or is he an informant or a bad guy? I don't know. I just have a lot of questions. But the point being is that a smart person is going to sometimes there's knowledge that you're not going to have that somebody else is going to have that's been in the system that may be a bad guy. Right. That you know is a bad guy, but they've got the information that you need to bust it. You know, law enforcement does it all the time. Right. But but there are sometimes so we can't necessarily land on without the knowledge and just the perceptions that have been created in the media for us. OK, that's the idiot wagon right there. Right. If somebody in the media or why are we believing these people now, no matter be just because we want to hear what they're saying or degrees or biases, they're liars, they're cheats, they're thieves, they're complicit. And so, so, you know, throw it out the window. Don't repeat the talking points and go, I don't know if this guy or that guy is truly a bad guy or a good guy. I can have my own opinions on that just by seeing, because I don't like what certain people have been involved in, especially in the primary race in Michigan. And when I look at that, I can say regulatory capture, no or hell no. And so I can look at that, but then I can also say, was this a created character? Because... We needed it to move the part of the population along. There's a lot of creative characters out there. The intelligence community can create identities for everyone. They can create fake backgrounds. They can create all sorts of this thing. We can look in there and we can see it. And I hate to create more confusion from people, but it's the truth. So you've got to have a pretty good intuition and watch where the wind blows. It's just like when Jesus said, you will not know the day or the time, but you're going to know the season. You're going to have an inkling on what's going on. And if you ask God for knowledge, he'll give it to you. So I've seen people that I know are actors in certain positions. Because a human being cannot hold a character for more than ten minutes. Even if they're really good, they're going to break. If you're really paying attention, you're a little intuitive, and you have any discernment, you're going to look at them before they hit ten minutes. You're going to have them figured out. You may or may not know this. Do you know why Bill Pulte is not involved in the Pulte group? which is the Pulte Group, which is the builder. No. Their family kicked him out of the business. Okay, I'm liking that. The same thing happened with Patrick Burns. Exactly. Patrick Burns was in with... He was ousted from the overstock.com thing through short sellers. I didn't know that about Pulte. Now I'm liking the guy better because there's been so much fraud that's gone through the developers. Well, everybody sees the Pulte. Everybody sees the buildings that they build. Everybody sees that he's in part of the HUD, and everybody says corruption. The reality is he challenged the Pulte Building Group for what they were doing. The family kicked him out. I did not know that. And I am so glad to hear that. So there's so much underneath the scenes that we are not seeing. That to your point, the media fuels you with. But the fact that Pulte went in and dug out all of the people in the federal government that were money laundering our tax dollars into real estate. was his goal. That was his goal, to dig that out. Now that he's been moved over to the ODNI to bring in the foreign influence so he can find that, now he's stepping aside entirely to give it to Jay Clayton, who was looking at the SEC and the Securities and Exchange Commission through our markets. So now Jay Clayton can actually take what Pulte's put together and everything that he's been doing for the last eight years And bring it all forward. I am so glad to hear this because, you know, it's like anything. It's like we don't, none of us have time to research all and everything because there's so much to research. It's incredible. You drive yourself nuts. But it's one of those things that I had a question of right all along because I know. And there's no guarantee that just because he was kicked out doesn't mean he's still a bad actor because there's still too many ties. But it's looking better for him. Let's just. Yes. So with that said, I've now thrown in a few of my tidbits. It is now one o'clock. I do not want to break the record. So we should probably end our day. Yeah, we're almost there. But the reality is I'm glad you did throw that out there because I've had a lot of questions and some serious, serious questions about that. Not that I was questioning, because there's always a reason why people are put in place. And I'm like, well, is he leveraging a bad guy or has he got somebody that actually knows what's happening and wants to get out of it? I don't know. But I've got a lot of questions. So I'm glad you put it out there because I would never want to. I would never. I feel that we should be able to question everybody and people should stand up to question. Absolutely. And no matter who it is, nobody gets a pass. And I kind of like what they did in Ecuador. And when the new ruler Bacali took over and he said, everyone sitting here is now under investigation. I was like, booyah, there it is right there. It's like if you can't withstand the scrutiny, you're not fit to be in there. You shouldn't be there. Right. You shouldn't be there. So with that said, would you like to pray or would you like me to pray? You can go ahead. Heavenly Father, thank you so very much for everything you've done for us and with us to teach us and to be such a great companion through life who knows us, every part of us, the good, the bad, the things we do well, the things that we can improve on. You created us to be the way that we are and we thank you for that. We honor you and are just in awe of all the wonderful things that you've done and the fact that we are living now to see what's going on and to have an appreciation for everything that you are doing for us and through the world to teach us, to bear with us, as well as to show that in your attention, your focused attention and your love towards us and your attention to detail is amazing. Really, really thankful for everything you've done. And I ask that your favor would rest mightily upon everybody who's here today, that there would be peace in their homes, that you would give people the wisdom to have the good, the words to say, knowing when there's an actual threat and when there's really not a threat at all. It's just an annoyance. And or when we are, while we're growing and we're learning. the gifts of the Spirit, the peace, the patience, all of those things that we just treasure so much. Thank you for your guidance always and your provision for us always. We trust you. We trust you alone as the answer to everything. And what a great adventure you've put us on. How fun. So anyhow, let's take this day as it is and see what comes next. We love you so very much. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. So with that said, boys and girls, let's see, I got to get my hand right.

So have a great day. And I'll see you next week. Stand in line just a minute. There we go.
