9am Vicky Davis - The Technocratic Tyranny The United Nations as an organization is world communism. The strategy to impose world communism on the people of the United States (and the other countries in this hemisphere) has been economic rather than military as the people were led to believe it would be. It's our own leaders who were the Pied Pipers leading us to this demise of the U.S. I'm working on a timeline that shows the who, when and what. 10am Chris Dardzinski is a Michigan businessman, former local official, and U.S. Taxpayers Party candidate for Michigan’s 13th Congressional District in the 2026 election. Born in Wyandotte, Michigan, he grew up in a working-class Polish Catholic household. He attended public schools and earned an associate degree from Henry Ford Community College in 1988, studying architecture, engineering, journalism, and political science. Dardzinski spent 31 years in international trade as a senior trade analyst and operations manager for customs house brokers. He later opened Lincoln Towne, a general merchandise store in Lincoln Park. He has also worked as a publisher, author, economic analyst, political consultant, and journalist, and has been affiliated with the Center for Economic and Social Justice, advocating “Just Third Way” ideas including capital ownership and economic democracy. He previously served two terms on the Lincoln Park City Council after running for local office multiple times. On his campaign site (leadership1776.com), he emphasizes strict adherence to the U.S. Constitution, reducing government overreach, a single-rate tax system, addressing poverty through expanded capital ownership, mental health reform focused on the “whole person,” government downsizing, and other detailed policy proposals. A longtime student of the Constitution and national policy who has engaged with Congress since his mid-20s, Dardzinski presents himself as a working-class leader focused on practical solutions over establishment politics.

Good morning and welcome to Brandenburg News Network. I am Donna Brandenburg and it is the tenth day of August twenty twenty six. Welcome to our show today. We start out this morning with the technocratic tyranny, the the the supreme intellect of Vicki Davis on here. And then we're going to go to to Chris Dardzynski, who is our U.S. congressional candidate for District XIII in the state of Michigan. And this guy is into international commerce. I mean, this is what he focused on and he worked in trade and can tell everybody from the inside out exactly how this works and what he's trying to do to reform this. So anyhow, morning, Vicki. How are you doing? Good morning. Just fine, thanks. And that's pretty exciting that he's doing that because that's My focus too, actually. Yeah, I think that when we work together on this, we're going to be able to get rid of this usurpation that's been going on from the inside out because that's what we're dealing with right now. So we had a discussion a little bit before we got online because I have been looking up all of these international agreements. I mean, Vicki and I have been on here for like two years, right? Going through them, talking about it, trying to unravel the spaghetti code that we've got going on in our legal system and how they have used pretended legislation in violation of the Constitution, in fact, to subvert this nation and allow these foreign structures to subordinate the United States. So this morning I got up to and I started pulling things and I think you're going to find some of this really interesting. Let me go through. I'm going to write a Substack article on it, but this is part of the way that I that I research is I start going back to the original documents and find out why things are the way they are. So there's a there is a PDF that includes it's put out every year by our government called Treaties in Force. And it excludes some categories, but overall it gives us a good feel for the ten thousand or so international treaties that are on the books right now and in force. So some of them have to do with just trade with other countries, but some of them are international structure, and those are the ones we've been talking about turning our United States, basically handcuffing it or subordinating it so that even anybody in the political realm right now doesn't seem to want to do anything. And there are mechanisms that kind of handcuff them and stop them from doing those things. So we got to go to the structure and write the entire structure. So what say you this morning? I say that's an excellent subject. And I think rather than looking at the treaties, well, we have to look at the treaties, but we also have to look at the deregulation that occurred in our government in the nineteen nineties. And one structure to look at is the Koretsu. And the way you spell that is K-E-I-R-E-T-S-U. That's the Japanese model of business. Let's spell it again. K-E-I-R-E-T-S-U. Okay. Okay. Okay, now let me read this definition to you. A Koretsu is an independent group of companies, each with its own banking partner, manufacturers, distributors, and supply chain partners. In other words, it's like a syndicate, a monopoly. It's a crime syndicate is what it is, and it doesn't include free trade or competition or anything like that. They squeeze everybody out. Yes, they do squeeze everybody out and it's led by a bank. And what happened is that our banking system was deregulated in the nineteen nineties. And. That deregulation allowing banks to become partners with their customers. Partners in business with their customers. And it was that corrupt relationship that allowed them to devise trade policies that basically destroyed our economy for us, not for them. For them, they're just making money hand over fist. But for the regular people of this country, it destroyed our economy as they allowed China to flood our country with cheap imports. Well, and you can see that, the connections to China, and India too, for that matter, how they took American manufacturing and even shipped our materials and our equipment over there. So to reinstate it right now would probably be kind of a Herculean task, but it really has to happen in order to, like, we had a thriving textile industry in the United States. That's pretty much gone. Okay. And they ship the machines primarily to China and India. And Thailand. There's sleepers over there because nobody really looks into. They're like China, China, China. But I'm sure that we need to broaden that search just a little bit to see where else they stashed it that nobody's looking. Yeah. And the best way to do that is that we normally look at what's happening in the world through the lens of of the organization of our government, which means cities and counties and states and the national government. And that's the lens through which people view the world. But in order to see how this corrupt global economy is working, you have to look at it from the standpoint of the international ports network. So that means looking at it from a horizontal point of view, east to west or west to east. And people need to understand that. So can you go ahead and re-explain this again? I'm sure we have new people on here because I've been watching since I got nominated for governor in Michigan under the Constitution Party here. We've had a lot more viewers that have been kind of paying attention. So maybe people don't know, the new people don't know. So if you can summarize that for the new people, that would be awesome. Okay. Well, how I first found it was that I found that Lockheed had built a computerized port system in Shanghai. And the plan for that port system was shipping from Shanghai to two ports in Mexico. then from those points coming up through Mexico to Kansas City. And Kansas City was dubbed a smart port. You can do a search and find Kansas City smart port. And what that was was an international shipping hub. And from there, if you look at the interstate routes It spans throughout our country. And in international shipping, when you go from port to port, as under the banner of international commerce, you basically turn your interstate commerce system into you might say a river or an ocean because you're going from international port to international port. And then when it arrives at that port, it's the port authority that controls what goes on. Now, when I found that, I found it in Idaho, and I couldn't figure out what in the world are these people doing. Well, it was the Transportation Department basically facilitating building an intermodal commerce zone that included five cities in the Treasure Valley area. And they called it the Treasure Valley Partnership. Well, they basically become the port authority for that area. And so, which is really not, it takes control away from the voters because the voters don't vote for these people. Well, and I've been saying that, too, for a long time, is that look how they put us into commerce. And they have their little cartels, their industry cartels, controlling everything, which cuts the voters out and only gives us an illusion of choice. And then you look at all of these large corporations, which should be absolutely hit with antitrust. violations like there's no tomorrow, right? And break these things up a little bit because they've got too much power and they're funding the politicians. Well, they have to outlaw the business organization of the Koretsu. Oh, I like that because It's all involved. And then they set the attorneys on top of it telling the public officials what they can do or the public functionaries. I mean, they've got a job description, but they're telling them what to do. Yes. Yeah. They make our elected officials basically just puppets. Yeah, I've been calling them sock puppets in the political industrial complex. Mm-hmm. And they're just one arm of this corporatization of the world and takeover of everything. It all has to do with money, greed, and power. And these people will do anything, like absolutely anything, including and up to and exceeding things like clot shots and taking our property and our deeds and taxing us out of our homes through unconstitutional taxes, property taxes, which are unconstitutional anyway. So they literally just threw everything on a heap and burned it all and just did pretended legislation and policy procedure and are basically the fox guarding the hen house. Yeah, they can write legislation such that, you know, it seems like it's going to do what you want it to do, but they can include one little clause in there that nullifies the whole thing. So, you know, you've really got to monitor everything while you begin to, the deconstruction process, of the international system that they allowed in the interior of our country. And so I've been working on putting together links of something I'm calling the dawn of the telecom age. And what that is is telecommunications, the dawn of the telecommunications age. And that's really what has basically allowed them to begin taking apart our country because they, of course, have instant communications with Asia and these cartels, these monopolies of power. They can control and they can actually put out of business our domestic Well, and, and there, there's a lot of methods that they use. So like when you're following the trail of how they're doing all of this, it's, it's a, it's a concerted effort and they have found every little way to, to, to create cracks in the system and try to infiltrate it and destroy the nation and just have it just be one big prison planet where we are the workers. They take all of our stuff and they basically give us back what they think we should have. That's just bare minimum to live in. It's communism, but it is the traditional communism really on steroids. Well, it's communism, but it's also fascism. And what they have to do really is to begin to Take power away from the banks. You know, our banks used to be just authorized within a state. They could not cross state boundaries. Bank of America was a California bank and they could only do business in California. But they deregulated the banks to allow them to become national. And ultimately, I think they became international. And that's only helpful to the International Monetary Fund and all these other things that have absolutely become the beast in its own right. So when I look at this too, the way to write all of this is to cut off the money supply. So when I look at how the elected officials, they got one great big party there in Lansing and D.C. So if we cut some of their funding and they have to stay home and change that, and a governor can do that. Well, that won't work, though. That won't work. You can't cut off their money. Well, you can. You can cut down the, if they're not producing or they're not, upholding their oath of office and such you can you can you can do some things financially oh you're talking about the politicians yes yeah the politicians i yeah no i don't i don't care about the politicians because they're just puppets anyway well i do because if they if if we start squeezing the politicians then the corporations have got a big problem And then you hit them with antitrust. The corporations will make up for any lost money from taxpayers. I mean, you know, and if a guy throws himself on a sword for the corporations, he'll be paid off. So you really have to get at the underlying legal structure that's allowing all of this to happen. What would you do? Well, I haven't made up a list per se, but it's like I just said, you've got to outlaw the Koretsu structure. You've got to re-regulate the banks so that they can't be in business with their customers. And when I say the bank's customers, I don't mean you and me. I mean the businesses that the banks are in business with. Give me an example of that. Well, in that area that I was telling you about, I think before the program in Boise, there was an area that became a subprime loan area where the home builders were in a partnership with, I think it was Zion Bank. There was a guy named Eugene Ludwig during the Clinton administration, and he was the head of the Comptroller of the Currency. And what he did in the deregulation of banks was to threaten banks with their charters if if they didn't go along with the strategic plans that they had outlined in order to enable the Koretzus. And I do have an article, at least one article on Eugene Ludwig on my old website. Let me find it for you. Ludwig, right? Yeah. And is that on that link that you gave me? I don't know. Okay. I have an article here called The Great Swindle. Okay. I love this, doing research and finding things while we're online. Absolutely love it. Actually, I have several articles, so I would say go to my website and search on the Ludwig's name. Okay. Awesome. I like the great swindle is a collective effort by both parties. And now we are being asked to bail out the financiers and the central planners of the swindle. great swindle is globalization a new economy where people don't go their jobs they become entrepreneurs and does he have a book or something all my all my research has lots of links on the sources of where i got the information because i don't write articles i write documentation right that's what that's what i love about your stuff because there's always so much information oh this is great there you go there's the man How Eugene Ludwig turned an obscure treasury bureau into a bully pulpit for banking reform. It was clear to me that I had the power to make these changes. We didn't need legislation. It was also clear to me that it would create a political rucks ruckus. So interesting. Yeah. And he's the one that threatened banks with their charters if they didn't go along. Okay. You want to go into that a little bit more too? Well, it was the banking reform that began this whole system where they basically severed the connection between our government, the one that we depend on to protect our country. They severed the ties between our political system and our economy. They globalized the economy, leaving us with an impotent political system. And so this whole system has to be deconstructed on many fronts. We've got to get rid of this international port system in our interior. We have to begin to defend our country at the borders. They inverted our defense such that they would, and they called it preventative defense. They're not preventing anything. They can't prevent anything because they were neutered. And so you really have to look at our situation in its entirety and I know it's a lot to try and absorb but it's the only way to do that Well, I like the fact that you put it at deconstruction because truly we have this like spaghetti, if it were a program, it'd be like spaghetti coated. Everything is jumbled up. Like somebody, you know, took a ball of clay and just went whack, whack, whack, but it's not smooth. It's just kind of, they squished everything together and you, you can't, you'd have to, you have to peel the layers off and follow one thing into another and see how they interact. So I, I get it. It's very convoluted and it was that way by design. That's exactly right. You can't get anything from the state websites. Have you ever gone to the state website for anything? In Michigan, it is an absolute disaster. You can't find anything you need, and they've hidden it under layers of five thousand clicks to get anywhere on a website, and you still can't find it. And you can't get anybody to talk to. You can't get to talk to anybody. So basically, we're on the outside you know, or on the inside of a fishbowl looking outside with no way out. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good way to put it. Um, but you can, uh, better understand what has happened to governments. If you look at Canada, have you been watching what's going on in Canada? Yep. Well, that's the result of it because Canada went along with the whole thing. Same as our country did, you know, beginning with those free trade treaties, you know, first was the treaty with Mexico in. And then the free trade agreement with Canada in . And so they, they opened up our economies. creating the north american union which was also the internationalization of our territory and so um yeah there's there is a lot to absorb it's actually collectivism in economic terms through the corporations because you know you look at the the top four black rock vanguard state street capital and arabella how much those corporations control the globe they own each other's stock so it's really one entity under the guise of having you know it's one beast with the guise of having four heads or so but that they have gobbled up it is a beast because it gobbles up all of these smaller mid-sized businesses which are American owned or individually owned by you know, our small and medium sized businesses. They just, they just acquire them. Mergers and acquisitions, industry standard, all these talking points that just point to the fact that they're stealing everything that real people have, have, have built. Right. Well, plus they fund shell companies. And so it, That's why they always talk about small businesses. Our economy is made up of small businesses. Well, that's a bunch of BS. It was really the big manufacturers that were the basis of our economy because of the ripple effect of having a big manufacturer in your state or in your country. The ripple effect of the economy created by a big corporation goes throughout the country. And I remember early in the Bush administration, George W. Bush, his treasury secretary, commerce secretary, and secretary of labor, did what i called the three stooges bus tour and they uh went i'm using that i'm stealing that right now i love it okay yeah i have an article about it um and and you can probably still find the uh tour on c-span uh but they went to the um oh what is that motorcycle company um anyway they took a tour of of that company and they talked about um international trade and the economy and that company because they were the company was pondering moving their production their manufacturing offshore and so i guess the idea was to maybe try and see if they could prevent that or why they were gonna do it or whatever. But during that whole thing, I actually watched it live while it was happening. And I called into the program and I told Don Evans, I said, you are lying to the American public. And they were. What was his response, click? No, he was kind of taken back. He kind of mumbled a response and then they moved on. I'm sure. Yeah. Yeah. But I and I was mad, too. I mean, I wasn't it wasn't a nice call. Well, you know, and I tell you what, people are so programmed into sticking with their biases, too. And people have become so accustomed to this system that they don't realize why it's fundamentally flawed. Yeah. Well, they don't think things through. It's like I was telling you before the program, I heard a guy this morning actually talking about Adam Smith and free trade. Well, the idea of free trade that came out of an eighteenth-century economist, you can look at that and free trade as an idea. But if you don't update the thinking for the conditions that there are today, which means telecommunications, it means international transportation, It means a lot of things. If you don't update those ideas for the way the world is today, then you're a freaking moron. And you're the kind of person that I want to say, sit down and shut up because you have a defective brain. I think we've got an epidemic of it, quite honestly. We do. But I'm going to digress with that, you know. The fluoride in the water or bad food or what it is. But there's not a lot of people out there that can truly critically think through all of the deficiencies and plans or see where the the danger is or the risk is. So they just it's like run around and look for the next next bowl of ice cream. Quick eat it and don't worry about the fact that some put rat poison in it. Yeah, a little bit of rat poison won't hurt you, right? That's right. It's just like with the political parties. They're all corrupt. I said this weekend in a meeting, I said, I'm calling for them right now to every single one of these bastards to resign because they've all committed crimes against the Republic, the Constitutional Republic. Every one of them has. They've allowed this theft, these unconstitutional crimes. policies, rules, laws, made up legislation, whatever you wanna call it, that they justify it for, and the unjust enrichment that's been involved in this. I'm gonna allege that the flock cameras, everybody's talking about these stupid flock cameras and such, I would allege that the flock cameras are a great way, if they're being monitored, which I think they might be, are a great way to catch criminals who have been using it to accomplish crimes within law enforcement. Not that I'm against law enforcement. I absolutely support it. But everything's been infiltrated by this globalist transnational crime syndicate. And we're going to have to get that through our heads that there is nothing that hasn't become infiltrated or apostate like the churches, like they take over identities and then they morph into something else. So. It really should be on a one-by-one basis of interaction and evaluate things every step of the way. Now, you don't have to be paranoid. It's not a paranoia. People say, oh, you're being paranoid. Go get your tangerine orange yarn and knit a cat, honey, something like that. But the reality is that we are in a war right now. This is hostile territory. You can walk through life like, I had this little bunny that for about, I don't know, it was a couple years ago, every day I'd come down my driveway to the barn and there's Clueless Bunny sitting there to greet me every single day. Was about probably four inches long, maybe five inches long. And he'd look up at me and go, wow, what a big truck. And I'm like, this is what the American people look like right now to me. uh-huh wow they're like clueless but wow this is great but they can't see it the danger that's coming to squish them yeah and then you want to talk about it they tell you you're paranoid no I'm just not going to sit there in the middle of the road like clueless bunny getting my you know my behind turned into roadkill We're all getting turned into roadkill. No, some of us are not. Some of us are literally jumping and attacking the truck as it comes down the road. Well, it's a progressive thing, and not everybody gets taken out at the same time. But it's really the tech bros that are leading the war against us. It's just that most people don't see them and don't understand them. how the telecommunications industry has built this international system. And so it takes understanding that as well. Well, look at what they did with our nineteen sixty three constitution in the state of Michigan. It was installed by less than one tenth of one percent. Are you kidding me? And it entrenched the Bar Association to give them supreme control over everything. So you look at the people in uh government that allegedly we vote in but i don't believe we voted them at all it's a it's an illusion of choice and the elections are rigged so they're sitting right next to an attorney and they won't answer any question whatsoever you ask them a question i have to consult my attorney first We have to consult the township attorney before we respond. Well, I didn't vote for that guy. I voted for this guy. And if they don't, you know what I mean? Guys, everybody's got to as a guy, you know, I got a guy for this, I got a guy for that. It's Michigan thing, right? Yeah. It's like, seriously, the bar is a problem, and it's a large problem. They don't hold their members accountable, the judges are misapplying the law, they're just revenue generators, and the attorneys, they'll win at all costs. They do not, they're not interested in justice, and they will twist that law and use pretended law that they created from the bench in order to make sure that there's no justice. The whole system is crap. Yeah, interestingly, I was watching something. I don't remember what it was, but the attorney actually made up the information that he submitted in a brief to the court. Well, that's exactly what happened. Pulled it out of the air. Yeah, that's what happened with, like, the Russia collusion story. They just pulled this out of their behind, threw it out there in front of the sheeple, and the sheeple bit on it. There was no fact of it at all. Went through an article in Yahoo that somebody created and said, oh, it's fake because it's on Yahoo. Yeah, so now we're going to believe the, you know, so now we're believing the fake news. You know, it's all propaganda, and Obama made sure that that was entrenched as a, the ability to create propaganda to target political adversaries to the global transnational crime syndicate. I mean, you could sit here and talk about it like this, but it's all connected. It is all connected, and it all has to be deconstructed. We have to make our federal government the supreme authority in our country, and then we have to get the right people in office who also understand this whole construct that has been built. So I'm going to disagree with that on the basis of states' rights and the fact that when the United States was created, there was only three million people. Now we've got eleven million in the state of Michigan. It's too big, and everything gets into a collectivist structure. So the power is so big, they've got all the power because they've captured everything. It's like capturing territories when you capture entities or the entirety of our commerce. Yeah, but the state government doesn't have the power and the resources to fight this international system. Right, because all of our tax money goes, they're taxing us unconstitutionally to go to the federal government rather than apportionment. So the whole thing, nobody's following any of the laws at all. That's where I see the problem is, is that we've got to go back to an anti-federalist position on this. Well, no, we need the federal government. We need the federal government. In a limited way. In a limited way. Very, very limited. But the other thing is the crisis, the integrity crisis we have going on right now. We have an ethical crisis in the United States. That's because of the organization of the international ports in our interior and these unelected port authorities. Bureau rats. Yeah, that are running them. They're being bought off. I mean, they're making money hand over fist. I was watching a program on Frontline, I think it's called the Panama Papers, about all of the government authorities all around the world have these shell companies that are located in places like i for in panama see that again all of the what these uh uh shell companies they create shell companies located in places like panama and government officials can take their bribe money put it in a shell company that's located in panama and you can't trace it from you know you you can't i can't um it takes real massive resources to be able to research and trace money to find these shell companies so government officials all over the world have their bribe money in shell companies so we have to be able to stop that too which means shutting down the ability to transfer money outside the country without federal government control and knowledge. I'm not saying that you can't transfer money out of the country, but you can't transfer it quietly, which is what they've been doing. They've used lawyers' offices as the conduit to transfer money outside the country. So it's a giant disaster for all the regular people of the world, but it's created this bifurcated system where there are corporations and their associates, you know, in these correct foods, in these Monopoly organizations that have really taken over the world and they are killing off governments of the world or basically using them as puppets. They're just proxy governments. Yes. Yes. That's a good way to put it. Proxies of our, of our intelligence community are the banking system. It's one great big organized crime network that has different branches off of it, but they're all feeding the same corruption tree. Yes, that's exactly right. And that's what has to be addressed. The problem is, is that it's really, um, I wouldn't say it's as complex as it is voluminous. You just have to understand so many areas and how they all link together and how it all builds a system that we can't control. When you look at that too, to try to figure out and untangle the structure, they've made that incredibly difficult to track down. In a company, you would have an org chart. There really isn't a good one for the United States because the layers underneath everything are, like you said, so voluminous. I'm tired. I was up all night last night a little bit. For reasons of storms, there was a huge storm that came through Michigan. And I mean, I couldn't believe it. It was so loud. You couldn't sleep through this if you tried. I couldn't anyway. But you look at how complex they have created these departments and departments within departments and NGOs and all of the regulatory NGOs that they're funding out there. It is a total disastrous mess. Yeah. Yeah, it is because the structures that they've built only serve the business organizations, the international businesses and the international port systems. They don't serve the American people. They only pretend to. So you have all these NGOs in in your area and really they serve to oppress or suppress dissent you know from what's happening it's like we have a mayor in boise that um and and she wasn't the first but um she thinks she's a little queen you know Well, a lot of people that get into power, they think that they're the judge, jury, and executioner on everything apart from the law, but we have to follow the laws and the procedures and policies. But the other thing that adds to the problem is that they've overlaid so much on top of what is fundamental law that it kind of becomes... you almost need a degree to understand it. The only way to do it is to start deconstructing it to your point. And that's a good word to use on the entirety of it is deconstruct it, abolish things, nullify things. And all those that have used it for unjust enrichment. Yeah. Well, and just take a look at the, um, two thousand eight economic crash, you know, and how we had to do that bank bailout. Why did we have to do that bank bailout? Because it was the banks that caused the problem to begin with. And so if people do a little bit of research on that and look at Hank Paulson, and they they got uh how how much money from george w bush to bail out our economy well that bailout money went to the banks right but the banks were the ones that caused it so essentially we funded the the system and the entities that were taking us down yeah they set up the crisis yeah and so You know, and then we've had QE one, QE two, QE three, keeping the banks bailed out to keep our country going. It's because nobody really has taken a look at what happened to our country beginning. Well, it began before the nineteen nineties, but you can start with the nineteen nineties. and especially look at Clinton's new markets initiatives. I mean, that's one place to start. It's not at the beginning, but it's a good place to have a marker. You've got to have a marker of a timeframe to look at and then fit that timeframe into your bigger picture. I think it would be good to analyze times and the agreements by the years to and then do a report on how they work together in a succession to strengthen the corporatocracy and subvert the United States and then go after all those that are involved in it. They knew what they were doing. This is a concerted effort and they are absolutely in on it together. They're complicit. It's not conspiracy theory. It's criminal conspiracy through the bankers. Absolutely is. And then in their sock puppet politicians. You ever spend any time with these people? They're dumb. I mean, like they're stupid. Not really. I mean, I was involved. I think the issue was refugee resettlement or something like that. We got the attention of one politician and he talked to us and then he went, I think it had to do with Idaho Power, the electric utility company. um but as soon after he talked to us then he went to uh idaho power and they put him on a committee of course they bought him off yeah yeah of course they did they do it all the time and watch the people that are in the political uh arena not just the politicians but the ones that have divided this up by their new favorite savior or hero because the political parties work like cults, you know, see people with their eyes, they're spinning like a hypnotic. I love this person. I love that person. And they can't see the fact that that person's a lying to them, manipulating them. They're not thinking about doing an analysis on what's going around going on. It is literally a cult structure. I think you're right. I would not argue with you on that. Um, They get their little uniforms on for their parties and such, you know. They've got a uniform. There's one guy that goes between several parties, and each political party he goes into, he's got his little uniform on, okay? And it's like, it is so incredibly... It's like a joke if you see it or if you've seen it. He literally does. He goes into different parties. He's got the Republican outfit. He's got the this outfit, the that outfit that he wears. And he wears those outfits to the different parties. Yeah, well, and I'll tell you what. At the top, at the very top, they're working together. We think there are two parties. No, there aren't. There's one party. You're singing my tune, sister. Keep going. But they have their platform. There are platforms that make it look like they're working on different things, but they're not. It's just that one party uses one angle, the other party uses the other angle. And you can take immigration as an issue. The Democrats support illegal migration, cheap labor coming from Mexico. the Republicans always supported H-B. Well, both of those... What's the difference, right? Yeah. Well, the visas for migrant workers, I think, is an H-B, but they don't make them go get those, you know, they don't make them go get those visas. So, and even if they did, it wouldn't make any difference because at one point I found out that the... imported indians were working on the system for h-one b's you know to keep track of or to process h-one b applications and they had one form that had like sixty names on it well the congress authorized you know uh I forget how many, thirty thousand or something visas. Well, what they did was to consider that one application that has sixty names on it as one of the thirty thousand. That's why we're so inundated with Indians and foreigners, you know. It's because if you have foreigners writing your computer programs that do your processing for systems of your government, oh, gee, they put bugs in there, bugs in quotes. You know, well, like the Serbians who admitted to screwing in our election for over two decades and people are still not waking up to the fact that our nation has been infiltrated and they launched a coup again against it. I was just looking at your blueprint for a coup. That's exactly what they done it. They launched a coup against the United States and infiltrated it through commerce. Yes. That's government contracts and all that sort of thing. Place their sock puppets in the seats. It's an, it's incredible. Well, let's go back to this H-one B visa nonsense. I want you guys to look at the IQ of different countries. Okay. No matter what anybody says, there are anomalies to everything. However, we can look and see through research documented and numbers, what the IQ of an average IQ of a country is. Okay. And we're importing people from a country that the average IQ is non-ideal, just let me say. But somehow they have branded these countries as the smartest people on the planet and people believe that because they've imported workers in those areas. But the reality of that is that they advertise for workers to go overseas for two hundred thousand dollar a year jobs or something like that, that they can go and work in America. But the placement agencies are taking most of it. And these people are getting paid like forty grand a year and they have to stay in the companies that they place them in. So it becomes the same structure as indentured servitude. That's exactly right. It's indentured servitude that these people who probably aren't the sharpest tool in the shed are sitting there. Or they're spies. Look at how many spies we have in Congress. And our congressman sat there and go, yeah, well, they gave us these people to work in our office. Oh, really? And you didn't say no to it. You didn't check them out. You know, I'm sorry. But because of that, it's a crime. And I think we need to call it out for what it is. It's a crime. And every one of them is complicit. Yep. They could have said, well, hell no. Hell no. We're not doing this. And put their own staff in. Why did they have the staffing like Matt Hall, who staffs the state of Michigan? Why are you letting these people staff your offices? That's a good, that's a very good question. And that is what they did in Congress. And there was a guy, a couple guys in there. They were accessing the computers of the members of Congress at night. You know, they had servers in there and they were stealing the information off the servers of the members of Congress. And I can't remember the full story, but it was quite stunning. you know that the members of con congress were being hacked and they had no clue whatsoever no and so and so they kind of keep them in the dark they tell them what to vote on because there's so many bills and and policies and legislation and departments and such these guys are like clueless money going where's the truck at you know and oh is it a danger no just tell me what to do breathe breathe breathe that that's where we're at right now uh-huh yeah we're and a world of hurt. But the consortiums, the monopolies that are running our country, they're very careful to make sure to keep things under wraps so that the American people remain like mushrooms, not understanding what's happened to our country. And guys, this is what we do on Brandenburg News Network. We put out the uncomfortable truths that we have to deal with, but that very few people have the guts to actually delve into and try to fix. And I get it. It's difficult. This is not like doing your favorite thing in the world, but it can be. I mean, for me, it's become kind of like a looking for clues in the jungle here, in a hostile jungle. You know, we've got the jaguars and the snakes and everything all around us and the jumping spiders and the biting spiders and all that sort of thing. But there are people and they're It's the people in the political industrial complex. And there's so many of them. You know, we have an education industrial complex, which they wrote in ways to money launder away from the budget. They're getting part of our road taxes for the education system. That nice little spaghetti code worth of nonsense policies and complicit characters in that. Oh, my gosh. That's one of the things that has to be on the list. is to sever the link between the universities and our secondary and elementary schools. We've got to get those, because a lot of the college professors are just down and dirty communists. And just get those people the hell out of our educational system. Universities should be to teach, university age students not to run our entire school system and so that's a really important thing to do well look you have to go there to get the education in order to be in the say the nea and such so they've made sure that they've captured every venue going into these organizations that's why i say that A lot of this is honestly, the international agreements, the agreements within these trade organizations and in the United States, all of it has to be nullified. And one way you can do it is you can nullify it and say, they don't exist under Norton versus the Shelby County, which is a star star decisis law. But furthermore, they're in violation of the constitution. And why are we funding these things? Why? Anybody that takes a paycheck through the government is under the government's, they're part of the government. So direct payments, direct payments from a government source. Yeah, that's easy. But so are the NGOs. And people employed by them who are taking money, which is come from the government of the United States. All of it. Well, they also get money from organizations like the Ford foundation. Oh, that's another one. We need to go through the Ford foundation because that's, uh, in, in, in able, you're unable to divide that out from the Republican party, the Michigan Republicans, DeVos, the Chinway corporation, because It's all about making those inroads. Think of the Belt and Road Initiative and all that sort of thing. This is all about making the United States as a country procedurally and policy-wise and lawfully-wise irrelevant. But they kind of hit a dead end. So now there's the bad news. But the good news is I do think that we're in the middle of taking it back. I really do. I feel very positive about it. But it's not going to look like what... we want it to look like for a short time, just because we are in a war. President Trump is a wartime president. And so that should be able to answer. He's openly stated it publicly. He's a wartime president and many other people in the government have said the same thing. So things aren't going to look like they're supposed to for a little while, but I think that's the way we're going to write the United States. Yeah. Yeah. It will take time because it is layers and layers over years and years. And so it will take time because, well, you know, I noticed what was going on over twenty years ago. And when I first noticed and I tried to tell my family, they thought I was nuts. They thought, you know, cheese slipped off the cracker. and uh um but i knew i knew what i was seeing you know she slipped off the cracker i like that that's good so um but i've been working on it ever since you know uh trying to uh just following back on the cracker yeah Following threads and trying to put the puzzle together. And that's really why I understand it so much better than most people, because I've been working on it for so long. It's not that I'm any smarter than anybody else, but I've been working on it for so long. Vicki, I'm going to say right now, have you been walking around the planet a lot because you are smarter than the average person? Yeah, smarter than the average. Yeah, I know that, but I'm no super genius or anything like that. I disagree with that. The amount of work you've done and the ability to connect things and see them for what they are puts you in that category in my evaluation. Well, thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah, I like talking with you. There's so much of the, and it's the time you've put into it too, because you have decades of research on this. The weaponized autism of some of us is just, it's one of those things that people can't fully get their arms around. We're like bloodhounds, right? You get on the trail of something, you're not going to get off that trail until you get the rabbit, right? That's right. That's exactly right. We'll just call it weaponized autism. I think it's fantastic. Yeah, I love that because it's really true. I have been obsessed for that twenty years. Well, right now I'm pretty obsessed at writing the state of Michigan, which will translate into writing the United States, because the thing I've been working on the most right now is, as you know, the twenty twenty six governor candidate for the US Taxpayers Party, which is the Michigan affiliate with the National Constitution Party, is to write the state of Michigan. But it translates into the interactions with the federal government, too. And all of this commerce and all of this nonsense has destroyed businesses. When I go around Michigan and I look into communities, the communities don't look like they did thirty years ago at all. The amount of empty buildings, boarded up buildings. I went the back roads coming back from Port Huron, not this past week but the week before, and I was shocked. at the destruction of local communities. People are once again being cordoned off and separated and divided in so many ways. We had an interesting conversation in our meeting this weekend for the taxpayers party. We had candidates there and we were doing videos and such. I see this subject come up everywhere and I and I want to tell everybody right now I am NOT part of the bashing on any group of people Club we have a problem but that doesn't mean that every group of people or every person in these groups is Guilty of that because they've all been infiltrated so we have to be very surgical on our attacks against people like when we look at at the the the comments of the subversion coming through the Muslim community. Is it all Muslims? No. I know a bunch of Muslims that are just wonderful, peace-loving. I've watched them pray for their Jewish brothers in their own words and their Christian brothers and sisters in their own words. And I refuse to lump them into the category. But what it is, is it's a Muslim brotherhood. It's a militarized faction that has stolen the identity of these people. The same thing with Israel. the God's people are not Israel as a nation, not in any shape or form. They were infiltrated by atheistic, satanic, Talmud-following Satanists. And if you talk to people who are Jewish, they'll tell you, ninety percent of Israel is atheist. What I realized about Islam, it's not the religion. part of it, it's the political part of it, the legal system part of it. And the mobs in the street, is the legal thing we have here does that mean that that does that mean that all americans are illegal and look like these crazy wackos that are they're destroying things and melting down like the snowflakes they are no that's not that's not america that those are paid protesters those people that have put on the put on the uh uh the mask of muslims doesn't mean that it's all muslims they're paid they've got a stake in this and it's a political military move but the people look at iran when we were in iran the iranian people were like please help us it's the iranian republican guard that that has taken over that took over and has been been subverting their own people it's the insiders versus the outsiders so be very careful about that if you're going to bash a group you better be strategic or i'm going to call you out on it Because that's not fair to people. We don't want to be victimizing the people that are already being victimized by the political economic structure. I won't go along with that. Because we should be not part of their captured propaganda asset. Anyhow, I've got Chris backstage here right now. So we're going to go to Chris. And hey, Chris, we're waving here. So, OK, last words here, Vicki, and I'm going to go to our fifty seven second little little last words. I'll still be working on this and maybe we can talk some more next week. Yeah, every Monday, I really do like starting my week out with you because it, you know, when you're campaigning or you're talking to people, and I don't really campaign, I have discussions. Guy showed up Saturday and said, I like this guy, I actually really like him a lot. He came up and he said, well, now that I've got you cornered, and I said, well, first of all, nobody corners me because I don't work for anybody right now except for myself. This is all Donna funded and I'm not an employee of the government. But I do sit down and I talk with people. So, you know, don't assume that it's a hostile discussion. I really, you know, I really like talking to everyone and I like positions that challenge whether I know the subject matter and that I can defend my positions on things. And we ended up talking after Saturday yesterday. I think I talked to him for about an hour while I was driving and it was fantastic. He's like he's like all on board with what we're doing on the US taxpayers party and supporting the candidates and such and we're approaching this as a team It's like I don't want drones of zombies following me I want people that want to write the United States that we can work together as a team and and and march forward because one person can't do it it's going to take all of us every single person right now is significant in this battle you know i'm just dumb enough to be able to you know dumb enough and and unafraid enough just to step out there and and uh try to try to you know be more public about it but every single person needs to get in this game and we need to do it as a team this is teamwork makes the dream work but if we continue to be isolated it's not going to work so Anyway, okay, so I'll talk to you. So I love Vicki, so there you go. Okay, so I'll talk to you next Monday then. Have a great day. Thanks, Vicki. Bye. I'll be back in fifty-seven seconds. Exactly. Good morning, and thank you for joining Brandenburg News Network this morning. I am Donna Brandenburg, and it's the tenth day of August twenty twenty six. Welcome to our show. And I'm going to bring Chris on right now. Hey, Chris, how you doing? Good morning. Oh, that's awesome. I'm trying to run five screens right now, so I'm going back and forth. So I'm glad you could join me this morning. And I wrote a nice little bio for you this morning, but I'd like you to introduce yourself and tell people who you are. Chris is our thirteenth district U.S. congressional candidate for the U.S. Taxpayers Party. And this is going to dovetail into what we were talking about, and commerce and interior ports and such. Chris worked in this area and is an economist. He's probably one of the most knowledgeable people that you will ever meet on the subject. And I got to tell you, we're friends. We talk. I love Chris. I love you, Chris. You're an amazing person. And this is what it looks like to have a team of people with expertise in different areas. So tell everybody who you are. Introduce yourself, please. So I am... Oh, I can hear an echo. Everything I say is an echo. It's probably going through your computer. So this is the first time Chris has been on here, I think, in a while. I'm on the phone. Oh, you're on the phone? Yeah. Can you take it off? Let's see. Do you have a headpiece, like an earpiece? No. Okay. Okay. Let me see how we can do this. This is okay because this is what we do. It's authentic. We run into problems and we fix them as we go. Let me see if we can grab somebody in tech to have some ideas. Hang on a minute. Bear with us, guys. This is going to be great. You're going to love it. Sorry, guys. See, I don't hear the echoes, but I had Autumn Smith on last week, and she had the same thing with her connection. So hang on a minute. I'll get you some help right now. Sure, sure. Yeah, I don't hear it. Does anybody else out there hear the echoes? Because I'm not hearing any of them. Yeah, every word I say, I hear like a one-second delay. Let me think how else we can get around this. Hang on. Okay. Quick call real quick. Hang on. And we'll be right back to our regularly scheduled program. I'm going to have somebody call you a minute and I'll take you off. I'm going to, I'm going to mute you just a minute and then you can, you can talk to this person. I need you to call Chris a minute. And I've got him on mute right now because we're having an echo. So let's fix this thing. If you can assist, please. thank you alright he's gonna he's gonna call you just a minute Chris so let me let me go to the I'm gonna see if I can go to what what we put together for Chris this morning so that we can while he's getting that resolved I am going to bring up the see if I could find it here a minute okay see if I can bring up Who Chris Dardzynski is. No, I don't know where I put it. So there you go. This is going to be a fun morning. This happens occasionally when we connect because it's live. Live broadcast is going to have interruptions occasionally. But that's not all bad. There's not many ways we can test this ahead of time. We just come on and more or less, this is going to be a good process because I was having problems with this last week. And so if we can get tech on this, this will be the quickest way to, in fact... Write the system. Let's see. I know how I did it. Hold on a minute. Okay, so Chris Dardzynski is a Michigan businessman, former local official, and U.S. Taxpayers Party candidate for Michigan's thirteenth congressional district in the twenty-twenty-sixth election. He was born in Wyandotte, Michigan. He grew up in a working-class Polish Catholic household. He attended public school and earned an associate's degree. from henry ford community college in eighty eight studying architecture engineering journalism and political science darzinski spent thirty one years in international trade as a senior trade and now analyst and operations manager for customs house brokers he later opened Lincoln Town a general merchandise store in Lincoln Park he also worked as a publisher author economist analyst political consultant and journalist and has been affiliated with the Center for economic and social justice advocating just third-way ideas including capital ownership economic democracy he previously served two terms of on the Lincoln Park City Council after running for local office multiple times on his campaign site leadership seventeen seventy six calm he emphasized the strict adherence to the US Constitution reducing government overreach or usurpation will call it a single rate tax system addressing poverty through expanded capital ownership mental health reform focused on the whole person and government downsizing, and other detailed policy proposals. A longtime student of the Constitution and national policy who has engaged with Congress since the mid-twenties, Dardzynski presents himself as a working class leader focused on practical solutions over establishment politics. Let's see if Chris is making progress. You making progress yet, Chris? think he's like locked up right now so I'm just gonna keep going here for a minute let me bring up his website and we will take a look at some of the things that Chris while he's working on this some of the things that Chris is involved in right now for the party he's been making some of these creative wonderful graphics and um and okay i'm gonna have somebody remoting into my computer a minute to try to help with this situation so bear with us here is here is chris's cities in the district that he's in protecting and preserving the constitution means dismantling the political establishment piece by piece it's a thousand layers of complexity and i know exactly where to start to every member of the establishment Resign and leave D.C. now. I called for that this weekend in our meeting also that every member of Congress needs to resign because they've all broken the law. We have a huge problem here and we're not going to tolerate it. So as Chris said, this is where I plant my flag and I'm right there with him that every single member of Congress, the people in D.C. need to resign. And who have been in on the grift and the corruption. Unconditional resignation from the usurpers. And I think that that's going to continue to be a focus. Now let me see if I can get Chris back on here. Hold on. Alright, can't fix the echo. Not sure why. So let me see if we can get Chris back on again. Maybe if he rejoins. Let's see. I'm pretty sure this is on Chris's computer, and we may have to get him a headphone and see if he can jump on that way. But that might be for next week. We'll see. I'm going to call Chris in a minute. You know what? We're going to just call him. There's a way around everything. That's all I have to say. Hey, I got an idea. You're on speakerphone, and they can hear you now. So if we want to do it this way, we can do it this way, and you can talk. And I'm just going to put your graphics up, and there's always more than one way to skin a cat. There is, because I can hear you just fine, and I do not hear any echo on my end, so we can just roll with this, no problem. Yeah, this actually works pretty well. I've had this a few times with people who get on, and for some reason, so the next time you come on, what we're going to need to do is get you a headphone so that you can talk to people through the headphone, but it's picking up some sort of interference in the background, and that's okay. So we're going to make this work right now, and Tech said that they could hear you just fine, so that's fantastic. I'll look for feedback from anybody else out there that has suggestions or this teamwork. Teamwork makes the dream work. So introduce yourself. I read the bio that I created for you this morning. Yeah, I heard you were reading from my website and all that, so thank you very much. Yeah, so I was born in, uh, nineteen sixty-seven, Wyandotte, Michigan. Um, Polish-Italian family heritage, raised in a very strict conservative household in, um, Polish Wyandotte, which means that I, um, was raised in the Greek Orthodox Church. No, that's a joke. I was raised Catholic, of course, so. But I always like to say the Greek Orthodox thing just to make the audience laugh. So, I mean, I was a standard work. I'm a standard working class kid. My dad worked for the post office. My mom, even though she suffered from mental illness for most of her adult life, she worked at Kmart's part time during the seventies and went to public schools. He didn't really care for the public school system that much. I think the second day of ninth grade was when I figured out that it wasn't going to be any more mature than what I had to go through in middle school. And so... I think I was like the worst disaster of a student for most teachers on the other side of the coin. A kid that could easily get A's and would never cause trouble in classes. But honestly, after the second day in ninth grade, when I realized it was a cattle pen theory in high school that you have thirty kids in a classroom and the teachers, they're just trying to keep things moving along. So I really didn't pay too much attention in high school. I got B's in all my classes because why would anybody care? You know, I wasn't causing any trouble for the teachers, so why would they care? Honestly, I was more interested in getting home and reading the newspapers. Actually, that started at age five. And I was interested in reading newspapers and encyclopedia and learning about the world around me and educating myself. And that was fine until the twelfth grade, until a really smart architecture and engineering teacher took me out in the hallway and said, cut it out. I said, no, they're the ones causing trouble in the classroom right now. He goes, you're a foot smarter than every kid in that classroom. He goes, I want A-plus work for you for the rest of the semester. And I went, darn, teacher blew my cover. So, yeah, so that may draft. But that's okay because that was actually the first time in life outside the world of politics and economics that I found something in high school that was interesting to me. So I went to Henry Ford Community College back when we used to call it Henry Ford Community College a million years ago. And I started off studying architecture and engineering. Then I switched over to journalism and politics and got a liberal arts degree in that. Then I... then I need to get a job. And I worked through high school and restaurants and all that stuff, working fifty hours a week. So I got a job working for Transporter Customs House Brokers. So Customs House Brokers are essentially the private service companies that a company will contract with. to make sure that they process all the paperwork for when they want to import goods into the United States. So I was the guy that sat behind a desk for thirty-one years processing paperwork for all the goods that come into the United States. Now, it's a perfectly good career, especially if you want to be overworked and underpaid. But also, because I was into government and economics and politics, it also was fascinating because literally on a daily basis, I could watch the entire world of international trade and how governments and corporations and trade associations and logistics company on how everything interacted and how it changed dramatically from nineteen eighty dot nine until I unceremoniously left the industry in two thousand twenty. So so you learn you learn a lot. You learn a lot and There's a couple of things I can touch on really basically. There are a lot of people at the lower end in government that are there to do their jobs because I worked with those people. I worked in the same building as Customs and Border Protection and FDA. And the people at the front lines at the borders, like your Border Patrol and all that, those people want to do their jobs. So, you know, to, to the thousands of customs and federal agents that I worked with over, over thirty-one years, they just want to do their job. It's when the political quotient is introduced that things, that things go askew and get, um, and get, and get relatively crazy. So, um, I, um, I served four years on Lincoln Park City Council and, um, I actually started running, I ran for mayor for the first time in two thousand eleven and, um, And managed to get nineteen percent of the boat in a three way primary. Unfortunately in Lincoln Park we have not had a primary since then. So all I can say is to everybody out there please get involved and I'll be touching on far more of that later on. So is it all unopposed right now then? Is that why you're not having primaries? No, in Lincoln, like in most cities, you have to have, we have six members on city council, so you have to have thirteen people run for city council so that you can have a primary. And you need three candidates for mayor. So, in this city, it's hard enough to get two candidates for mayor, and we've had mayors run unopposed before for years. And we only have nine candidates for city council. And this particularly bothers me because as you and I talked a couple of years ago, and as I've talked about my book many times and how to fix the city, eighty eighty five percent of the work that needs to be done with governments in the United States is your local government and your and your school districts. That's where the majority I know. I know Washington, D.C. and the state capitals. That's where all the sexy headlines is. And that's And that's where the media goes to. And unfortunately, the only time local city governments or school boards get any attention is if there's a shooting or if there's a big protest. And I never... Being part of a local government was never, Donna, was never on my radar at all. It just started as a conversation one on New Year's Eve in two thousand ten with my with my with my really dear friend Polly, who who was politically astute as as I am in every single way. When we were talking about the about what was, you know, you know who are the candidates for your town and she lives in allen park right lived in allen park right next to lincoln park and you know and i said well why don't you run for mayor she goes well why don't you run for mayor well i i did and and it In some cities, it is this easy. You have to be eighteen years of age in Lincoln Park, for instance. You need to be a resident for thirty days, and then you need to get petitions on a signature petition, and you just need twenty-five registered voters. That's all you need. And maybe that criteria should be changed i don't know i mean that's up to every city to make your own determination on that but it's it's always a clarion call for me to um to anybody out there um if i um i rarely go into these rabbit hole videos but this guy was talking about um for five seconds i heard him yesterday i says you know what i like when other people say stuff that's the same what i'm saying but just a little differently when i talk about getting involved i mean get involved um A lot of people are kind of waiting for someone who's playing four-dimensional or five-dimensional chess and politics. Someone who is smart enough and sophisticated enough to make every single chess movement and outwit the entire establishment. Guess what? Stop waiting for that person to come along. Because even the five-dimensional chess players cannot defeat the entire establishment. And defeating the entire establishment will do nothing to fix your city or your school district. So stop waiting for that five-dimensional chess player to come along and get involved. I agree with that. It's systemic corruption from top to bottom. And if we don't have people that are willing to step up and take stock or ownership over what happens in our government, the criminals, the parasites are going to always fill that void. Every generation has got to be on guard for the next. So we don't hand them the problems. As I said in our meeting Saturday, I refuse. And it was a great meeting. It's always great to see everybody in the taxpayers party because they're well educated. Did you notice the looks on people's faces that were new there? They were kind of shocked at how much information was actually there and not just political posturing. But as I said, I refuse to let my kids and your kids and everybody else's kids fight a battle that we should have been courageous enough to stand up and take on. Yeah. Donna, I'm going to bring right out in the open one of the things that you and I talked about in one of our personal conversations. I've never been involved with political parties my entire life. Me either. It was only after two—I mean, basically because I hate political parties, and George Washington knew exactly what he was talking about. and john adams they knew they they they knew um a real quick segue here um it's when you look at when you look at world history and all the um and all the societies out there and all the nations and all the and all the risings and falls of all the governments out there essentially you do have um um societies and people do kind of tend into a fifty-fifty gravitational pull in any nation roughly fifty percent of a society will think that well individuals in the private sector should kind of lead the way on how on how a nation should go forward and then you have roughly the other half of the society that thinks that the government should be taking the lead so so there's always that constant friction but when I was When you and I were talking just a few nights ago, yeah, in two thousand twenty after I lost the mayor's race and after the reason I ran in two thousand twenty was because our current mayor was going to run unopposed again. I thought, are you kidding me? In a town of thirty nine thousand, we can't get someone to run against. So so after I ran, I and I, I had After I left city council in two thousand nineteen, I briefly talked to Mark Sosnowski, our Wayne County committee chairman, about running for Wayne County commissioner. I thought, OK, maybe I have one more race in me. Maybe I'll maybe I can maybe I'll do this one more time. But then my father died a few days later. So that just changed everything about life. And and so but after the two thousand twenty elections, I said, you know. I'm going to see if I can contact the U.S. Taxpayers Party again, and I want to get back into national politics, and I want to run for the U.S. House, and I know where my sweet spot is. I know where the majority of my skill sets and my talents can be. And maybe I'll do it. Maybe I'll just join this Constitution Party and get involved. And I was surprised that Mark even remembered who I was over a year and a half later. And I told myself, I told myself, I'll start sitting in under state central committee meetings and I'll start going to the Wayne County committee meetings. And if I like these people and I believe that these are true people, true constitutional warriors, true patriots, and, dare I say, Christian warriors, because I saw how important it was that there be a kind of a Christian foundation to everything that is done. I thought, if I like these people, I'll get involved. That's how it started in two thousand twenty one when I joined the party. It had nothing. It had very little to do with the very little to do with the platform, although I essentially agreed with everything in the platform. But it had to do with the group of people. I thought if I'm going to associate with a group of people inside a structured political party, then it has to be a team of people. that I know are there to serve the Constitution and to serve God, one hundred percent, no exceptions, and never yielding, never laying down to any force, foreign or domestic. And so five and a half years, here I am. So, I also knew that, I like long-form interviews like this because there's a lot of details I do too, Chris. People want to, are conditioned for headlines and headlines are manipulation. We have to sit down and have the discussions like our founders did in the taverns where they would sit and they would talk with each other and listen to what each other's saying because that's how we educate ourselves best. Yeah, I have been told many times, I should give a shout out for my website, leadershipseventeenseventysix.com. Right now I've got your district up so people can see the district. Yeah, so everybody in the thirteenth congressional district and everybody that knows somebody in the thirteenth congressional district, start going to my website. It'll take you a week or two to review it. There's more content on my website than on most presidential websites, probably times ten. um um vicky the lady you just had on a big shout out to her because what she was talking about twenty years of research and stuff Here's the thing. There are very large problems in America, and it's not about just one quick fix takes care of everything and one person handling. No. Some things require very large solutions, and there's a lot of details to fixing everything. And that's where I am, too. I mean, there's stuff that I've been working on for forty years, literally, my entire adult life and even longer. So when I say I want to go to Washington, D.C. to fix specific things to dismantle the establishment, it's exactly what I'm talking about, and I don't apologize for it. There really are a thousand layers to the establishment. So I actually started when the Health Security Act, the first attempt at socialized medicine, when that first came out in nineteen ninety three from the Clinton administration, I said, OK, this is where I get even more serious in my political work, political work at age twenty five. And I'm going to Washington, D.C., and I'm going to directly confront these people. And I'm going to introduce my own policy proposal. So. So I literally spent months and months and months before I had a computer putting together my own policy proposals that I directly wanted to talk to the Congress about. And this goes to the core of who I am politically. Everybody needs to hear this. And I said this at our meeting, at our meet the candidates forum on Saturday. When you are Washington DC as an adult and you are directly in the halls of Congress and you directly watch the lobbyists. And the Congressional Committee staffers and the lawyers and members of Congress, you see them talking in the hallways to each other, writing down notes looking around whispering certain things in each other's ears. passing notes, which that's all done a little bit differently in all these, when you see that with your own eyes, and then when you go to lunch and you see lobbyists having lunch with members of Congress and senior staffers and all that, when you see that with your own eyes, there's no going back. If you are a righteous person and you are right with God and you're a patriot and you care about the Constitution, you cannot unsee that. You cannot unhear it. and then you have to make a decision am i am i going to fix this am i going to at least work on fixing part of it the parts that i can or am i going to ignore it so and sadly enough i i think a lot of people um get so consumed with everyday life and they just digest what's in the local news and everything and on CNN and MSNBC and Fox and all the stations, all of the mainstream media, all the MSN. um they find themselves in their forties and fifties and if they're able to have an intellectual honest moment with themselves they realize they've gone twenty thirty years of their adult life and and they do not understand how the government works they don't understand politics or foreign policy or economics and and um and now but now they're in their forties and fifties so so there's a real kind of collective political ignorance that has to be worked on so what vicky said early is right it takes it takes decades to legitimately understand the nation how things work together and how you see certain things and then more information comes along and you follow that which leads you to more information and then you piece it together with more information so um I know the political brain that God has given me. And Donna, this is all for the glory of God under John XIV, VI. I put that right out there. God has blessed me with a political brain a compassionate heart, a good hydraulic mind and engineering mind for economics. And that's where I know I could serve this country the best, and specifically Michigan and this district. And when I first started putting my website together, I, like all, like everyone that wants to solve the world's problems, I probably had twenty things. I said, okay, there's no way. I have to refine this. And so I got it down to ten, and I said, now I get it down to eight. So... Probably the three things that I want to talk about today is there are several nerve centers to the establishment. And you've been to Washington, D.C., so you've seen this like I have straight up. And going there from nineteen ninety three to two thousand five, I've seen it time after time and I've seen how things change slightly. But no. So one of the nerve centers of the establishment on a daily basis of the daily work of the establishment going on is you have you have eighteen thousand registered lobbyists um that daily work in washington dc and um as i said on saturday there's a hundred thousand lobbyists throughout all of america um which is up twenty five percent from only ten years ago so that's a real growth industry you know lobbyists are up twenty five percent so so a hundred thousand lobbyists and what do they do especially the ones that work in washington dc they buy and sell political influence So, I mean, if you don't have a soul and a conscience, I guess it's a great way to make a living. Hey, I'll grab a paycheck for a hundred grand a year. And all I got to do is buy and sell political influence for this trade association I work for or for this corporate corporation that I'm representing. So you've got you've got you've got eighteen thousand registered lobbyists working in Washington, D.C., besides all the unregistered lobbyists and everybody else. And I talk to these people. I said at the bar with these people and and and and some of them are actually really smart. These these people know exactly what they're doing. And you've got two hundred committees and subcommittees within a congressional structure. and you have the general councils um which used to be just general councils for the entire committee but now with the way things are politically the last twenty years you have a minority council and you have a majority council for each party so you have you have a minimum of five to six hundred general counsel lawyers that are the nerve center of the intake or what comes before the committee, how things are marked up, the vetting of witnesses that come before the committee for committee hearings. So you have... Twelve to eight, you have eighteen thousand lobbyists working with these six hundred attorneys that make up the general counsel that are the nerve center of the congressional committees and subcommittees. And then you have the committee staff and you have the members of Congress. Right there is one of the nerve centers of the daily work of the establishment. And Donna, I guarantee you, out of a couple of thousand candidates for U.S. Congress across this nation, none of them will tell anybody about this. Right, right. They don't want to discuss it because if they do, they're going to be targeted for removal. It's a cult system where they vet you and you don't progress unless their masters say so. So what I did is when I started putting my website together in early, actually, I started working on it before then. I mean, Donnie, you should see my master file with all my notes. I mean, I have so much notes I type away. So I went through the congressional committee and subcommittee on the internet. And I reviewed it. I thought about it for a few days and and I looked at the structure of it and then I thought about it some more. And then I said, OK, at the end of the day, Congress, Congress, the legislative branch does essentially three things. they um they appropriate funds through a general budget to fund the federal government and then um part of part of that part of that fiduciary responsibility and being a former public official believe me i know about fiduciary responsibility um and then under fiduciary responsibility as a public official You have to do proper oversight for everything that you've appropriated as you go through the next year and making sure that everything is in order. And then, of course, you either rescind laws or you pass laws according to what is enumerated powers. So a shout out to all the current members of Congress. There's this thing called the United States Constitution. And you only have as much authority as the Constitution says you have, especially under Article one. So and I look at it and said, OK, what is the oversight that Congress should be doing through committees and committees? committees and the subcommittee structure under enumerated powers. So then I looked at the two hundred committee and subcommittee structure again and said, OK, I'm going to have to start from scratch. And that's exactly what I did. And I literally started typing out, OK, under enumerated powers, this is how this should work. And I said, you know what, there's a way to streamline all this, too, because outside of a few joint standing committees currently in Congress, you'll have a foreign affairs committee in the Senate, and then you have one in the House. So if they pass legislation, then it goes to the general floor, then it gets passed, and then there has to be a reconciliation committee, and then both chambers have to vote on it again before it goes to the president's desk to be signed. I mean, this is so incredibly inefficient for stuff that should be joint standing committees. So... Um, since you've got my, my, um, my, um, my, my, um profile up with that flyer there i came up with a series of joint standing committees um to cover the major things and this will make it far more effective and more efficient plus what you're doing is is your um you're cutting down on the on the number of staff that you need and i made the entire committee structure oh when you go to my website everybody this is under this is under the um streamlining congress on page which is the um which is the third page you have the poverty page and then streamlining congress and um so i came up right now i have about eighty committees and subcommittees and half of them is under a joint standing committee um i'll just go through the first one Joint Economic Tax Policy Regulatory and Banking Committee. All of that I have as a joint committee between the Senate and the House for efficiency purposes. And then I put together the subcommittees of domestic economic policy. foreign and international economic policy tax policy regulatory policy bank and snl policy so forth and so on and then i've got a joint appropriations committee i have a i have a joint um i recommended a joint committee on on intelligence and military affairs all of this to streamline the process because right right now even if you had a completely conscientious member of congress who's a hundred percent patriotic and wants to do the right thing there's no way under the current congressional committee and subcommittee structure that they could attend every single subcommittee hearing meeting they need to go to and all that there's simply too many there's simply too many committees and um so i believe we can get it down to ninety to ninety committees and subcommittees and hey when we get there we can go for even less but again i based my committee structure and subcommittee structure on enumerated powers on the fact that Congress is supposed to do oversight of government operations and not much more. There are a few essential things that I do think because of technology we need to look at. There should be a sub... A subcommittee like on the burgeoning of AI technology and technology in general, I can agree to that. So I'm willing to have conversations on this. But I'm telling you, if my proposed system got above ninety committees, I would vote against it myself. Another thing about all the general counsel attorneys that work for Congress and deal with and funnel in with the lobbyists on a daily basis, these are not confirmed positions. These are employees. These are federal employees. These people can be fired. And Donna, I mean this when I say it, and I say it straight out. I would fire every single general counsel that works in the current committee and subcommittee structure because I genuinely believe that if you're going to be a member of Congress, House or the Senate, you should be capable and have the credentials to write federal law yourself. You shouldn't have to have a high-powered attorney help you. or need them in any type of way. And this gets to a general vetting process and the filtering process. I want everybody to remember, we are the filtering process. There is no question. I consider my website to be the basic of what every candidate should put out there for House or Senate. and and this is why i do i do i do believe that if you're going to run for the house or for senate you should be in your forties and fifties because it just takes time to understand these things in a way the world really works so so well and watch how the political parties groom young people they will they will the political parties groom young people to fit in with the structure they make it really exciting they do they do parties for them they make them feel like they're part of a group So they learn what they're taught through the political parties to keep the establishment going. And they don't even realize by, you know, when you're eighteen to twenty years old, you have no idea what is actually proper and in order. Yeah, I see it, and this starts in the state legislatures. We have members of the state legislature right here in our state that are twenty-four, twenty-five years old. I see them as young as twenty-one. You know, I would say maybe every now and then you have someone that comes along who is of a certain mindset that maybe could get into governing at that young age. But for the most part, I say no. I can tie in working in city government here. Most of what I did on city government was not complicated, Donna. But that's because of the amount of political knowledge I guess I had before going into city government. Again, it just kind of happened. A city is not complicated. I mean, you've got to keep your bond rating up. You've got to keep your general fund and have a surplus at a certain amount and make sure that your essential DPS, police, fire services and sanitation services are taken care of. It's not complicated. But what is hard is daily governing. And I'm telling you, it is hard. And you've got to be committed to it every single day, following, following, keeping up on every single detail. And And believe me, even though I was working on a big economic conference to try to bring everybody together in Wayne County and all the Wayne County governments in Wayne County and everybody that represented residents of Wayne County to have an economic conference in Lincoln Park. Hey, I was out there making sure that, you know, whoever on Michigan Street had sent me, you know, hey, I've been trying to get my tree cut down for five years. You know, it's causing trouble with this, blah, blah, blah. You know, I took all those calls. I did all that stuff. Hey, you know, there's this couch that's been sitting out in the middle of the field by the railroad tracks for two years. No one's done anything about it. I did all that stuff across the board. Hey, Donna, thank God there's a statute of limitations because when I was on City Council, and I've seen the size of the trucks on your farm, I had an F-I had an F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F and if the former police chief ray waters knew where i drove in this city at some point he might not be too happy with me but statute of limitations that was a long time ago so you know what you were handling business and quite honestly in my businesses too especially one of them i tell everybody that's in the office you need to carry tools with you fundamental tools a broom a dust pan and if you see something that needs to be done just do it i do that i'll i'll go if i see some trash or whatever that that is outside I'll pick it up I'll pull the weeds and you you need to not do just well I you know this is my job description when you're there well basic fundamental taking care of the planet falls under everyone's job description I wish everybody could see me doing the Amen Sister, raising my hands right now, because I kept a tow rope in my truck, a high-powered searchlight, construction cones, rope, an axe, a couple of crowbars and all that. Because we have so many trees in Lincoln Park after bad, windy storms. We'd have sections that I... Donna, probably a dozen times during the four years I was on council, there was big sections of trees that would fall in the middle of the road. And it's like, well, that weighs quarter pounds. I can't drag that myself. So I get on my tow rope, wrap it around, hook it up to the back of my truck, and then pull it into the middle of the median and then send an email to DPS with a picture saying, hey, I dragged this onto the grass. It's out of the way so you can get the guys out there. So yeah, I would say that to every member of city council. You have your tools ready to go. And they sit there on their little stage of worship that they set up for themselves. Instead of being on the level with we the people, they sat themselves up there like a king and queen's court. And that's not the way that it's supposed to work. Yeah, they're supposed to be out there working and not just pointing and say, you do this and you do this and you do that. That's not a leader. That's not a leader at all. That's a wannabe leader. A real leader jumps into the fray of things and leaves them in the work, not just organizes it. It's part of it. Sometimes that's appropriate, but when things go wrong, you know, you got to suit up and get the work done. My least favorite part of serving on city council was the council meetings and having to sit up there and go through a ridiculously long agenda. Finally, we went to a consent agenda. Donald, when I first got on city council, we used to vote on block parties. People would come by, get the signatures of everybody on the street if they were going to have a block party. for their kid, and then city council would have to vote on that. This is such a clerical thing. If they got the signatures letting them know when they're gonna have a bouncy house in the middle of the street, it goes to the city clerk, the clerk files it a copy goes to the police department so that they know that the streets can be blocked off a copy goes to dps so they can bring out the um the barricades to block off that that block for whenever that one house is having the you know the nine-year-old birthday party with with the bouncy house in middle street But, yeah, we used to vote on stuff like that. It's like no one's ever going to vote no one on a block party. So, finally, that stuff got taken care of. But, yes, actually, the council meetings became – that was actually what we got paid for. That became the least – the least – the part of the job I hated the most. And because it was always political and, oh, someday I'll get into the closed-door meetings, so – Oh, I would love to hear that because I have seen news media walk into the chambers for the people that sit on the dais there for the township meetings. The news media is complicit. They're taking orders from the people inside our government. So the whole thing is rigged against the people, which is unfortunate. There's a disconnect there, huge disconnect in serving because these people are so arrogant, they will not do anything work-wise. They just want to sit there and make decisions based on other yeah what they think other people should live it's wrong i think you know i put it down as my third major point to talk about during this interview but i think now is a good time to jump into my my book how to fix the city and we we discussed this a couple years ago on your show um for everybody again uh the website is up there the very i i took my entire book I updated the Word doc from eight years ago, and it is now on my website under the page, How to Fix the City. So about a month left on City Council, I put this book out, and I wish I would have put it out at the beginning of my term on City Council because I could have got more copies of it out there. I used to try to sell it. Now I just give it all away for free. And my, my book is, my booklet is a, is a thirty minute tutorial that'll, if you're interested in running for city council or for mayor, but if you're running for school board, hey, where it says city council or mayor, just put the word, just, just read the words, um, school board. Easily translates into that. I set this entire thing up because I lived every single word within that booklet. And it'll help you organize... If you want to run for mayor, city council, or school board, it'll help you organize your thinking and how you put your policy proposals together, how you organize your campaign, and how you start thinking properly about... and refining your process for how you're going to truly be effective in local government and there's a constant refining process and and i and i remind myself of that all the time donna i hate updating my website i mean who enjoys updating their website especially especially since you know that i have um my eyes are bad but i i go into my website all the time when it's when it's time to update i i go in there and update it i've updated my congressional campaign website probably Forty times this year at least if not fifty or sixty times So so you always have to be opening to that open to that refining process of how you of how you put together your policy proposals and how things change and how things will evolve and So I encourage everybody Again, if you're waiting for it if you're waiting for that mythical mystical sorcerer stone four-dimensional chess player to come along within the world of politics and take care of everything, don't wait because if there is a few people like that, believe me, they cannot fix everything by themselves. It's not the way we are governed. It's not the way the system is. It's not the way it's set up. This decentralized system of government is set up and eighty to eighty-five percent again of the work that needs to be done needs to be done in school boards, and in local local government so if you've thought about it your thinking time is over with go to my website read that entire page how to fix the city and just get involved just start um a quick story here from going all the way back to um being at studying engineering at henry ford community college um in our first year um a really brilliant engineer who haphazardly also became my economics teacher because he did he probably didn't realize that because a lot of what goes on in the world of engineering applies to economics and it's helped me educate myself properly on economics as far as hydraulics and pressures and tolerances and all that applies to economics but one of our first classroom assignments in the first semester was, um, putting together, um, a process and a plan for how we would paint a bridge. And, um, because there is a process to that and it does have to be done a certain way. So we were given, I don't know, a week to put it together. And, um, and then, um, and so I spent an incredible amount of time working on it. He says, okay, he goes, um, we'll discuss your individual plans. He goes, and you will be graded on them. He says, but how do you paint a bridge? And I kind of had an idea of where this guy was going, this professor was going, but then he said it. He says, you start, you just start. Great, you've got your plan, you've got your process together, but you have to start. Well, if you're going to fix a city or a school district or... or or or a judicial district or a county or a state or nation you have to start don't wait for that five-dimensional chess player to come along and all the people out there who are telling you time after time you can't change anything You've got to work within the two-party system. Well, most local governments and school districts are nonpartisan. And even if you are running for a partisan office and they're saying, oh, you're wasting your time, you know, Donald, let's go through the cliches together. You know, what do they say? Oh, um... Split the party. Well, both the parties suck, so is that a bad thing? But you don't split the party because they're already working together and you're not splitting it. They're choosing who people can vote for. So split the party. There's no hope running as a third party. And I'm like, that's a public declaration of lack of faith in God. And a lack of faith in yourself and the old thing that, well, if I vote for a third party, there's no chance that they can win, so I'm wasting my vote. Well, that's a self-fulfilling prophecy there then. And they're wasting their vote for voting for the political sock puppets that are there that won't tell anybody the truth and who are being installed by the corporations. Right, and the two-hour meet-the-candidates forum that I recorded, all that was recorded live by several people. Mine went right out on Facebook. So you know what, everybody? Everybody out there, you see our candidates hardcore, raw, and live. That's the way it all goes out there. Things are not processed and prepackaged in this party. And you know what? My website... um they're outside the posters there's there's nothing fancy about it it is just it is just paragraph after paragraph of content and um i um Well, let's go there for a minute. So we have a Zoom meeting that I started on Fridays, and they're meet the candidate meetings, and it's very informal. People are just hanging out like friends, talking or having coffee, kind of like what we do here. But people get a chance to talk and ask us questions. There was a couple of trolls that came on, and I exited them, but They were talking about things that were very inappropriate. They were inappropriate. They came on, and the people that were there, they were shocked. And I said, if you have not run for political office, I'm not going to sanitize this for you. You have to see what happens in the political realm. of paid protesters, disruptors, agents of chaos, as well as, because these people, when they start talking about their anatomy online, on an online Zoom, and being absolutely disgusting in a public forum, I am going to censor them. Because you don't get to sit there and do phone sex type stuff in the middle of a public meeting. And I won't censor it as far as or sanitize it. I'll kick them off. But because they're just disruptors and they're probably paid for it. But I'm not going to sanitize it for the people that are involved. Because we need to look at the real problems and what's happening that has literally helped to destroy the United States of America. We're fighting our way back. I'm glad you brought up the Zoom meeting and those trollers because if the U.S. Taxpayers Party of Michigan is so insignificant, then how did our first little Zoom meeting for Meet the Candidates on Friday there, we're essentially working out the bugs and we have three trollers. Well, you know, first of all, it's a Friday evening and that's what you're doing with your life. you know if you if now that's probably a social that's probably a one of the that could those those could be people who are so um i don't know how much you promoted it i just promoted it on facebook and our promotions went out at ten a.m and the meeting started at seven p.m so our little insignificant party our first zoom meeting we had three trollers well if we're if we're so like this insignificant then why are you why are you wasting your time trolling us and and maybe intellectually those three people oh um you know what donna if my dad was alive who was a much better catholic than i am and a much better christian my dad my if i would have told my dad what happened at that meeting um on on the next day saturday he would have said chris you need to pray for them and that's what i did i prayed for them the next day i says you know what my dad would want me These young people, I'm just going to tell you where it went to. The one guy started describing his erection and on and on. And this was in one of our meetings. It's like, if you're going to engage in that just to be disruptive, I'm going to kick your sorry butt out. Because this is like having the drag queens stick their junk in kids' faces. I'm not going to allow this. You know, you want to be stupid. Go in a non-public forum. where you're not grooming children or putting things in and trying to make it palatable or just the norm. This is not the norm. This is a form of mental illness and the lack of being able to serve the the community around there immediately should people should be disqualified from any form of service you you want to do that in private private i'm not going to join you in this kind of nonsense just so you know i find it disgusting and repulsive And it's a distraction from actually caring about people and needing to have that attention and being willing to do anything you can to get on your little six-year-old stage, narcissistic stage, and refuse to look at the hurt that the United States of America and the world is in and refuse to be there and help it because you're so hungry for attention. It shows the lack of intelligence. low IQ monkey brain and a you know you're on the idiot wagon full time on and you got the pedal right to the metal on this and you're involved in the destruction of everything good that exists your anatomy is is in your obsession with your anatomy and how great your anatomy is to all these protesters out there it's a sad commentary and on your on your mental capacity It really is because I thought us third party, members of third parties, I thought us candidates were the wackos and the crazies. Well, we were articulating very important things as I just sat here, you know, going through the actual nerve center, one of the nerve centers of the establishment and how to start dismantling that and the process I have for it and begging people to go to my website. But those trollers, they're just sick and disgusting and crazies and And it's a Friday night and you're putting your time. Instead of being with your family or your friends or doing something productive or just relaxing and watching a movie on TV, you're trolling a Zoom meeting of a third party and you're not even in that state. You need to step back. take an intellectually honest look at your life and say what am i doing and you know what if those were troll if those were people who are volunteers for for for one of the parties that um because i'm sure i'm sure um all the like one of the senate candidates up to us yet has ten thousand registered volunteers which is an extraordinary amount of people and and it gives me grave concern for the state of michigan that he has that many volunteers But I'm sure five hundred of those are people who that are that are given the marching orders, say, four hours a week. We need you to be on social media disrupting this and going into that. Well, think about this, Chris. If they have spies in Congress, does anybody think that these people that have large staffs in the political industrial complex, that they weren't placed there by the corporatocracy? to either subvert that candidate or make sure that anything that comes against, I think a lot of them are in other political groups, absolutely. There is no clear delineation. There's no accountability. So it's basically using whatever is on the table to destroy the United States. It's a communist way. It's the communal fascist way. And here's another thing. If our party is so insignificant, how do we have three trollers when we only started promoting it nine hours before? That's right, because I didn't promote it, Chris, because I wanted to see if we could get the kinks worked out of the system and things that would make it flow smoothly because we'd never done it before. So I wasn't going to sit here and throw it out there. you know, and just run this thing at full tilt. I wanted to see the first one, see how it works, get the bugs worked out, a little bit of process improvement going on, And then really promote it in a little bit wider. So we're going to do it again this week. And to any of the trolls that are out there, I'm sure they're listening. Because they are concerned. They are scared to death of another party that works for the people. Because the political parties, they work to preserve the power structure. And it's the insiders versus the outsiders. We're the only party that's a true outsider. When you look at the connections with the other candidates in the other parties, some of them are in with the building trades, some of them are in with the developers, some of them are in with the banksters or the State Department. I watched some of the other candidates in twenty-two that had a direct connection to the State Department. And all of these are points of concern. My main concern always comes back to the main voter and the fact that, hey, look, I don't have any secret answer to how we go about this. Thirty-three percent of eligible voters do not vote. And to everybody listening, Let that absorb it into your mind and into your soul for a second. Thirty three percent, one third of eligible voters do not vote. And I guarantee you the RNC and the DNC thank you very much for not voting because first of all, you're being taxed to death and you're and you're not even representing yourself because you're not voting. So there is no representation for you. They don't even have to worry about you. They don't even have to try to seduce you or coerce you or manipulate you into voting for their candidates because you're not participating at all. So like a clarion call, like I did on Saturday at the meet the candidates thing, to everybody out there, if you know someone that's not involved, sit down with them and say, hey, let's go through all these candidates together. Not voter guides because they're like a lobbyist. They're telling you who to vote for. Yeah. For self-gain. And if you're getting a mailer, if you're getting a flyer in the mail that has its three bullet points and all that, and it's a flashy mailer, if you're making a decision based off of that flyer for a candidate for governor or senate or even for city council or mayor, God help you, you've got to... You're on the idiot wagon. We are the vetting process. We are the filters. Every individual voter has got to take ownership, and they've got to do their research. There's this thing called a cell phone that you can go to and research. Research, research. Go to their websites. Read all their stuff. You'll see how inadequate their websites are. I mean, candidates for Congress that put out two paragraphs on what they're going to do about the economy? Are you kidding me? Well, it's all promises without a plan. And they don't have enough knowledge. They're just told, okay, okay, this is what we're going to do. This is what you're going to sell them on. Most of them are just mouthpieces. And look at how many people in that arena have been local broadcasters on fake news. You look at Tudor Dixon. Who's Tudor Dixon? okay she's a she's a she's a news anchor and and we're going to put any faith in that she just delivers the message that people handed the script and the same thing with Terry to Boris running on the local Republican Party are you kidding me she's a weather girl ok fantastic she can go get up in front of the camera have poised she's got name recognition and such but is she going to have the knowledge of of this I'm going to tell you that absolutely not. Every time I look at a candidate, I know Carrie Lake. I like Carrie Lake. She's a nice person. She is a news anchor and I look at her. She's a nice person. She can deliver a message, but whose message is she delivering? Yeah, being a nice person, being a good person, those are great things. But do you have the ability to govern? Do you have the credentials? Do you have the knowledge? Have you taken the time to understand? You know, I'm going to swing back around to Congress because you brought up the sock puppets and the control of Congress. I was cautiously optimistic on DOGE and on any auditing process for the federal government. And I do think there was a lot of benefits to what DOGE was able to expose and all that. I think the mechanism... probably wasn't correct just because of the high profile of elon musk and and and and the mainstream media just focusing focusing on that hey they found two hundred and twenty billion dollars in in waste and fraud i'll take it it's a great start they found certain processes that were wrong usa aid got blown out of water i could have told them that years ago i think it's a wake-up call for people which is really important Yeah, so the government already has an auditing agency. It's the auditing arm for Congress. It's been there for a hundred and three years. And this is something, again, this is something that I put in my website in two thousand twenty two and I pre-fined over four years. The Government Accountability Office, real quick history for everybody that's new to this. It used to be called the General Accounting Office. Formed in nineteen twenty three when Congress decided we need an auditing arm to audit the entire federal government for us. That's probably where they should have asked the proper question for their premise. The premise question should have been, why is the federal government getting so large in nineteen twenty three that we need to have a specific group of auditors to audit it? Let me ask you this. But they didn't. So here we are now. So in so in twenty two, I said, you know what? The government accountability. So I've I've I followed the G.A.O. when the Grace Commission was was was doing their thing like with Doge did now the Grace Commission did in nineteen eighty four. when they brought in two thousand people, mostly volunteers and corporate executives and everything to look at different components of the government and all that. And the GAO is constantly auditing. So the GAO, just so everybody knows the numbers, the GAO on an annual basis audits the federal government. They submit... They write and submit eight hundred reports to Congress every year and they submit fifteen hundred policy recommendations. Now Donna, how many members of Congress do you think once a month go to their staff and say, OK, who's got the next thirty policy recommendations from the GAO ready to give me a three hour overview Zero. Yeah, exactly. How many members of Congress asked that question? How many candidates for Congress are having this type of conversation right now? One. One is, okay? And one gubernatorial candidate hosting the show. It's us, guys. We're like the outsiders here. But here's another thing I want to talk about, Chris, because I really think that where the disconnect is, is that we do not have access to any of that. And what I want to do in the state of Michigan as the for Michigan, is we need to throw this out in the public, every bit of the accounting, every bit of it from top to bottom, and have the people audit it. Because when you're talking about the GAO auditing it, it's the government auditing the government. That's like Dominion having election source doing the certification of the tabulators. This is absolutely the ones that own it, rig the system, are in part of the game that are auditing this, I got a problem. I don't mind if we want to take a look at it, but damn sure they better be accurate on that evaluation or I would literally just chop that funding right down to nothing. We can look at it and put it out in front of the people as well as the books. But to your point. There are people in the government that are trying to do a good job. I was at an NSA briefing, and the people that were there, everybody there, they said, since everybody here is an intelligence officer in some capacity or another, and they were really dejected, they said the problem is that none of the recommendations are being listened to from anyone. And so, okay, where's the disconnect there? The disconnect is that if you want to get a whole bunch of people who are highly motivated to change things, throw this out in front of the American people, their crimes, what they've done, don't sanitize it, and say, go get them, let's audit this. I'm not talking about violence. I'm not talking about going after people individually. Let's tear this structure down and expose all the criminality hold every single person accountable who has engaged in the capture of the United States of America because they launched a coup against us. And let's do it. The Supreme Court is conflict of interest. And this is a problem. This is what most people don't understand, that I see too. You understand things, I understand things. And these are the discussions we have to have. The Supreme Court is a... They have conflict of interest because when you have them presiding over state and federal disagreements, they literally are going to give it to the federal government, which they are part of. They are part of the federal government presiding over something that's a federal and a state conflict. Of course they're going to go with the federal government on this. And that's why they have these activist judges. They're all complicit. The activist judges are protecting the state because it's revenue generation. It's not a constitutional court. So all of these things that are not working procedurally or structurally, that is the gold standard right there in writing the United States of America. And to dead end, this is why I put together one of the major policy proposals that's, again, it's on my website. Go to the department consolidation page. Well, read all the way down, but scroll all the way down to part four where I have my GAO recommendations. Right now, the GAO, oh, I did my due diligence. um when the gao made it mainly to the forefront of me paying attention to him was when david walker was appointed comptroller general um of the united states and um and that is essentially the person who's in charge of the gao and um now this is a very libertarian-esque minded um um professional auditor that came from the private sector And Clinton appointed him. By the way, the Comptroller General, the selection process is done by a committee who makes recommendations to the president. No, let the president pick their own GAO boss. Yeah, because you're having appointments. You're having appointments do that, sorry. He spent ten years inside the GAO, and he couldn't make sense of any of the accounting systems or accounting processes that were going on. And in two thousand eight, he left and said, I've got to get out there and tell people just how bad it is. So when a professional auditor who's worked for a major auditing firm can't figure out the accounting processes or lack thereof in the federal government, you have a tremendous problem. Who is that? Who is that, Chris? His name is David Walker. He was actually going to run as an independent in Connecticut for governor back in two thousand eighteen, but he didn't. He's he's a very, very smart guy. And if he's still tied into he put together a he put together a nonprofit organization when he was going around America talking about about the auditing process and how and how dire it was. And And so my main goal is to take that entire GAO process. Now, those people are diligent. They do their work. And after the two thousand twenty four election, when I was refining my my recommendation for what the GAO should be, because I think it needs to be an independent auditing agency and if um if you want an investigation to die in any in any government department you give it to the inspector general's office because inspector generals they're they're appointed by they're appointed and overseen by by the secretaries of those departments those people want to keep their jobs and the staff that work for inspector generals they want to keep their jobs so inspector generals All of this is on my department consolidation page. It's very detailed and nuanced. I would fold that all into the GAO and make it an independent agency. The reason I would make it independent is because now it's about Congress. not being able to ignore the auditing that is put before them and making it more transparent. I've got very specific things in there about how this would work. And so I emailed the person at the GAO, and I said, I would like to speak to somebody that's in charge of a department, and I want to see what they need. So thankfully enough, I got the guy who is in charge at the GAO of the entire – uh, division that, that audits military and, um, and intelligence, um, contracts. I thought, great, this is, this is exactly who I want to talk to, you know? So, and, and, and it was a very, it was a, it was a forty-five minute, um, forty-five minute conversation. And I would say it broke down into three segments. Fifteen minutes was kind of the PR stuff, you know, the stuff that he, well, he doesn't know me. I mean, he doesn't, I'm, I'm just a guy he's talking to, I mean, and telling him, you know, I'm running for con, I said, I started to say, I'm running for Congress. I said, I want to know what you need. What do you need at the GAO to do your job better and all that? And after he got more comfortable with me, and then the conversation became more conversational and more personal, and he started sharing more information, I realized that it confirms my worst fears, that Congress is essentially ignoring all the work that the GAO is doing every single year. and um i mean they're writing all these policy recommendations and turning in these audits and and are overseeing all these other audits but you know you've got members of congress that are doing what they're sitting in committee hearings and if they're republican they're bashing a democrat and if they're a democrat they're bashing republican to get their thirty seconds of b-roll as you know you got to call it so they can get that so they can get it out on a tick-tock video so they can make campaign donations absolutely absolutely if i was a member to gao i would be i'd be upset too and so um but i talked to this guy and um and at the end of the conversation i realized that he understood that you know hey i'm trying to help so um so that's a that's a major major thing that i would push for um doge had the right principle and the right philosophy, but not the correct mechanism. The GAO needs to be independent of Congress. And right in my proposal, I set up where every single person, every single person, I look at it as the Q&A audience, the C-SPAN. I used to watch when I had cable, I used to watch C-SPAN's Q&A on Sunday at eight p.m. all the time, because like this, it's a long form interview. And that's where Brian Lamb could, I mean, Brian Lamb was such a good interviewer. Oh, by the way, the reason, I'm sure you might remember some headlines, the reason Brian Lamb stopped doing Q&A and basically retired from C-SPAN, that he was one of the founders, he just got sick and tired of being lied to all the time by Republicans and Democrats in Washington, D.C. And I was really disappointed because he's such a great interview were but i would like to but that q a that q a audience that is thirty nine million people uh in a month that that watch that watch q a and donna those are the core people who want more information they want to know and those are the people that if they had if there was a completely trainer transparent gao where you could go in and look at every single thing that they're working on and all the audits that they're in the middle of, those people would devour that information. I want to set up red hot buttons, hot buttons that people can hit submit to my member of Congress, where they click that button, they put in their zip code, and of course this would need to be encrypted and all that, and they put in their zip code, and their email address and then it gets sent to their member of congress for this hey this this policy this policy recommendation to the gao that i just want i want you to work on this it goes to their member of congress of the house their two senators they get a confirmation to their email and a link that they can follow up on those kind of things where where and i would like to see the gao um the comptroller general and the and the and the director of operations all these people they should be required i wrote this i wrote out job that i you know i'm a former i'm a former operations manager so i wrote down stuff that needs to be in their job descriptions once a month you will you will you will you will give a one you will give a half there will be a structured three hour press conference where not a press conference but uh where you will sit there and articulate and a half hour everything you did you did personally the month before and i have an entire you read through my policy proposal you'll see that um and the hard copy that i gave you you'll see that i i have this very specific so that people see all this now donna i i think i think i want to ask you a question here a minute i don't mean to interrupt you but but how about we do this so can we do this every monday at ten o'clock for a while because i think this is going to be real we can actually bring on so that we can give people the chance to digest some of this because a lot of this is going to be new to a lot of people so i think if we give them time to digest this and then come back on next week and then then break this down further break it down to what needs to be done how we're going to do this and you know i've been talking about i'm writing a manual on the exact steps and the things that we need to do in order and have different teams working on things in order to accomplish what we need to to return this to the Constitutional Republic, leaning heavily on states' rights, because the federal government is so bloated. This is like, I don't even know what name to put on this. You remember Charlotte's Web, where Templeton the rat was at the fair and he gorged himself all night and he couldn't even stand up. This is our federal government and our state government. We got to get in there and put this thing on a diet. It needs a haircut. It needs to be cut back like crazy because it just exists to continue to gorge on the work of the things that we've done. And it doesn't serve anybody but itself. What a great way to end because, Donna, whether it's the state government or the federal government, once the government gets so large and so bloated, the only thing it can really do is make sure that it sustains itself. And that's where the federal government is. And the Michigan government and the California government. And the township governments and everything else like this is that they're taking everything that we have – The right for the God given right for our rights. They're taking our rights, our property, everything. They've taken everything ownership over it. Now we're going to have to do some important work here to to chain them into what they're supposed to be doing and take find the stolen diamonds, the proverbial stolen diamonds and return them. It has to happen. If people do not have the guts to do this, then your children are going to be slaves. And this has to be done right now. I end on that. Find that one thing within your community, your county, whatever. get involved i'm going to say join us i'm going to say join us because this is join us yeah join us if you're a little lost here which i'm sure a lot of people are really left you're a little lost you don't know what to do i'm going to tell you right now we got a plan and this plan is to return this to we the people president trump could never do this by himself nobody can And because people haven't stepped up to do the work that needs to be done on the local, state, federal level, people are walking around like still a bunch of lemmings following these political parties who've been lying to everybody for decades and centuries at this point in time because you have to look at where their origin comes from, right? Same people, they just put on a different mask and reinvent themselves under another identity. But we have a plan to restore this to the people. I have a manual I'm writing. Chris is going to be part of that. We've talked about this already in looking at how we tear this criminality down and burn it on a pile of bad ideas. And I think we're actually having a good time doing it too, finding these solutions. and analyzing things and finding the solutions. So Chris is going to be back on with me next week, Monday at ten o'clock. Be there. I'm finally telling you, Chris. We'll get into more details. I've got plenty to say. Yeah, and I mean, this is what needs to happen. I mean, and just so everybody knows, we invite you, go to the U.S. Taxpayers Party's site. There is a site, there is a tab for Zoom meetings. Hang on a minute, let me, let me, um, I'm going to take this down for just a second. And let me bring that up so that you don't have to watch me poking around in here. But it's ustpm.org. And if you go there, you will see the weekly Zoom. Oh, let's see. What did I do? All right. What happened? Hmm. This is interesting. Well, at any rate, we're going to have to go, hmm, interesting. All right, well, we have another subversive technique right now that I'm going to have to get around. But when you go there to ustpm.org, you will be able to find the, give us about ten minutes here, you will be able to find the Zoom meeting links there. And when you go on to that every week, seven o'clock on Friday nights, you're going to find us there and you're going to be able to talk to the candidates and help be part of the solution. So with that said, let's say a prayer here a minute, Chris. And do you want a prayer or do you want me to? Oh, I definitely want to take a lead on this. I love that. in the name of the father son and the holy spirit dear lord as i continue down your path and as i as every day i get more and more connected to john when jesus answered i am the way and the truth and the life no one comes to the father except through me everyone out there you have a talent you have a gift and i and i and i and i pray in this holy name that that um that you take ownership within your soul to decide to get involved and whatever talent God has given you, that you honor and glorify that talent by serving his son and being on his path. John, John, John, In Jesus' name we pray, amen. Well, thank you, Chris, for being on here. So this is where we go to. Ding, ding, ding, ding. Go to brandenburgforgovernor.com because I'm the best non-conceder who's ever not conceded in the history of the United States of America. And I'd like to have a discussion with the rightful president of the United States, President Donald J. Trump, in cowboy boots. I will wear them better. We'll have that competition, and then we'll have a discussion. So just so everybody knows, you've got a lot of good people who have a lot of good solutions and answers. We have to look at the bad stuff before we can create the solutions for it. and identify all the risks and pivot points that we will have to plan into the plan as we go along to write these United States, which is under attack. We're under attack. The parties are attacking you. The media is attacking you. The corporatocracy is attacking you. It is a clear and present threat. And you have to be able to identify that. But with that said, God is leading us through this mess, just like he has every other group of people in history who have been taken captive by those who are ruled by greed, the lust for power, and everything else. And the way it is going to be clear, I'm seeing a clear path through this, Every step of the way, God is giving us answers. And it is an amazing, wonderful, exciting process. So with that said, I'll be on tomorrow. Tomorrow, Scott Ogney is going to be on. He's our Secretary of State candidate, ten o'clock. John Tater at at nine o'clock. But we're going to continue to do this and we ask for you to join us and help us. Please pass along our links and all of the information we're putting out there so we can be part of educating people that have been failed through our education system. government schools. They're programming you to fit in, shut up, sit down and not question their theft. So that's exactly what we're going to do. So at any rate, God bless you all. God bless all those whom you love and God bless America. Make it a great day and find those things that you can serve in everyday life, acknowledging people, showing them Kindness, compassion, and empathy as we're going to see things change, I'm pretty sure. And nothing's going to stop what's happening here right now. There's too many good people that are fighting it. So buckle up. It's going to get real interesting here, but it's going to be a great adventure. Have a great day, and we'll see you tomorrow. Oh, by the way, go to at Brandenburg for MI on both X as well as Telegram. I'm the only one that posts there. So if you want to talk to me directly, you can go there. You can call me. I put my phone number out there too. So, but we'll see you tomorrow.
