Can't hear you. You're muted. You are muted. Let's try that again. Sorry. So here we go. Good morning. Welcome to Brandenburg News Network. I'm Donna Brandenburg. And it is the eighteenth day of August twenty twenty six. Welcome to our show today. So anyhow, we start out at nine o'clock with John Tater with Lawful Defense. Ten o'clock is Chris Kyle again. We're going to talk more about election integrity. And then at ten thirty is Chris Dardzynski again. So John nine, Chris Kyle at ten, Chris Dardzynski ten thirty. I think I got it right. So how are you doing this morning, John? I'm doing OK. We were having quite a discussion before we got online today and such. I'm on a new computer and yesterday was the first time I used it to broadcast from and today I I'm still trying to get used to things a little bit, and I'm not at home right now. So everything's a little different, but that's okay. We're still making it work. But we were talking this morning before we got on a few minutes, it was Robert and John and I, Robert, my Lieutenant Governor candidate pick. And John, you're running for? Thirty-second district, state house district at the thirty-second district. We've got such good candidates, and it's amazing. What we were talking about this morning was about the situation in Dearborn, and I'm going to go there, but I'm not going to go there as a provocateur. I'm going to go there as a person trying to make sure that the Constitution is followed and that we all understand that that is our law. It is not a different law. You can't replace it. And we were talking also last night about the assimilation. When the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution, I don't think it even dawned on them that an invasion would happen through ideological means that turn into or were co-opted into a militaristic effort. Regardless, we go back to the Constitution and we continue to make sure that we're functioning under the Constitution, which is the highest law on the land. And all the problems go away. But the one thing that I keep thinking is right now, everybody's going after the Muslims, right? I have friends that are Muslim. They are like, we don't want Sharia law. That's why we came here is to get away from this nonsense. So strategically, I think that we have to remember not to be racist or prejudiced, but to stick to the law. If people are breaking the law, they should absolutely, be removed in some form or another okay if they come if somebody comes here illegally they that right there tells you that they've broken the law okay and a story that's an easy easy discernment uh exercise right there however When we look at throwing an entire population over, the friends that I have that are Muslims, they're like, we don't want, that's why we came here. And their grandfathers came here. It wasn't like they walked in illegally. It was that there are people that have followed the legal process. You can't go after one whole group. And just because we can do something doesn't mean we should do something. And to my point that I'm making here is, I see this provocative or provocateurs going down there to have a pig roast there and to, you know, wiggle bacon around or whatever it is, okay? And that sort of thing. I got a problem with this, and I'll tell you why. Because they've been trying to provoke us into a war. You've said it. I've said it for a long time on American soil. rick grinnell went down to to venezuela to get the hostages out there i'm pretty extra sure he didn't go in there in order to be the most vile offensive person to the people there he was trying to get everybody on the same page and and you know go after the goal the goal in here is to live in peace to uphold everyone's rights. The people in the Middle East, they've been killing each other for centuries, and there's no heroes there. The Jews are killing the Palestinians. The Palestinians are killing the Jews. The Iranians are trying to kill who knows what, but they're all killing their own people. It's the same thing that's happened in America. They've been killing our own people. They've been causing chaos in the streets. All you got to do is look at like a doom scroll for a while of the fighting that's going on in America. This has all been by design. They've impoverished the people. They put them into survival mode. They've pitted them. Black against white, men against women. I have heard so many ridiculous comments. We don't need another woman in office as governor. Well, you know what? I hate to say this, guys, that are saying that. I'm not saying that to all guys because I think that's pretty much the minority of idiots out there. But it's not an individual group of people. It is individuals that have been either put in place, I really don't, I've got more of a beef with the people that have been funding the Somalis and their leering centers than the Somalis that probably are part of it in the fact that they're definitely part of it. But the ones that are truly weaponizing them are the ones that are funding it, the people in office. You got to look at the criminals in office first because they're the ones that are agents of the foreign countries and the corporations. That's the crux of the problem. If we don't get them out, we're screwed. There you go. There's my morning stick of their shit moment. All right, let's start way, way, way back when, when it was the Italians that lived in New York City that were discriminated against, and then the Irish, and then the Poles. Oh, yeah, that's right. Pick a group. Pick a group. Then the Japanese. the Jews, the Russians, the Blacks, and now the Middle East. We always need an enemy, right? And then not only that, let's talk about the Native Americans right now who are paying money hand over freaking foot to have their own nation there. I'm sorry. We're being accused of doing things that we didn't even do. We weren't part of this. And so help me God, I'm a Native American. I don't care what anybody says. I was born here. Sorry. Who? Who is doing this and why? I don't really care who lives next door to me. I don't either. As long as they're peaceful, as long as they're semi-friendly. I mean, I don't even, if I say hello to them or if I wave at them and they wave back, that's great. But if they don't wave at me, I don't care. I mean, that's not a point. They're not violent. They're good. They're decent people. Most people, see, I believe in the philosophy that most people given the opportunity, will do the right thing. I'm not like the Germans believed, the philosophy of Kant, that people are evil and they have to be controlled. I don't buy into that nonsense. There you go. Russell Alford said, the problem is that the criminals that stole the Twenty years? Forever? Forever. Way back before Lincoln. The election process has not been a clean process in our country. Remember they kept the blacks from voting by charging a poll tax. The whole thing was nonsense. And today we are facing the same kind of nonsense again with a different group of people because people like the Italians and the Irish and the Poles and the blacks and the Japanese, they kind of all melted in with our society. They learned to live with us and we learned to live with them and they become Americanized, so to speak. America is not a homogeneous society where we have a specific brand of people like in Japan. We have a mixture of anybody and everybody, and that's fine. The problem that we have is now we have some of the people on the Muslim side that are trying to push their philosophy. They don't want to assimilate. They don't want to be part of America. They want this to be part of the Middle East. And that's the problem. Are they actually Muslim? There's my question right there. Are they paid provocateurs? Are they a military? It looks like a military operation. It sure as heck is an invasion. And they they want to force everyone. If they if somebody forces you to capitulate, fight like the third monkey getting on the ark. Okay. It's like, you know, it's, it's one of those, one of those times that they, they need to be called out because that is criminal. That is criminal. They can't force you. Let's look at this. The politicians have been doing that for centuries. Hey, the, the, by the, I'm going to change the subject just a little bit. The guy that said that they don't need another woman in office for governor. Did they mention anything about Benson? No, but they were on the St. Clair Facebook page that Michael Zorin put a long post out on the criminality of Jay DeBoer and personal experience. And it was just like, how can you people consider this guy? It was a really good post. So I was lurking around on there. I didn't say too much for a while. I was just watching the idiocy happen and the Republican brainwashed And there were a lot of guys that were saying, we don't need another damn woman in office, that kind of thing. But that's not the first time I've heard that. I've heard that so many times, it's not even funny. Well, you know, the people that say that, they're as bad as the feminazis that go out there. I hate all men, that sort of thing. It's so angry. They may well be. My point is that what are they doing about Benson? And she's a criminal. We already know that. And she's on the ballot. We already know that. Why aren't we worried about that? They're worried about somebody like you because you'll clean up the nonsense that's going in out in Washington or in Lansing. And they're afraid of that. They don't want the nonsense cleaned up. They like that stuff because they get money from it or they get perks or whatever. So they're all into that. Why aren't they on your show and why aren't they talking right now? Why aren't they sending you messages? They won't say it to my face. I'm waiting. Go ahead. Say it to my face. Well, come on, guys. If you don't want another woman in office, give us a solution. instead of we don't need another woman in office that's that we don't need another muslim in office we don't need a japanese in office we don't need an italian man in office i mean we could go full-on here and yeah let's you know on the idiot wagon We really need a trans in office. That way we figure both sides, right? We get the male side and the female side. And we have a trans in office. That's what we need. Come on, people. Wake up to reality. It's so ignorant. Oh, my gosh. It's so ignorant. Who would want to represent this? You have to be an absolute. You got to be an absolute, absolutely insane person. John, we're insane, totally insane for wanting to represent an immoral population who can't even think enough to save themselves from the real threat. Oh, well, I'm going to keep going, but I'm going to lay it out. I'm not going to sanitize anything. The other few days ago, I hit the rope on sanitizing anything. I'm like, I'm done sanitizing anything. You know, you want a kindergarten teacher to represent you, go find one. You want somebody that's going to get in there and hammer this thing out. You might want to rethink the choices. But don't complain when it goes wrong. My point is that everybody, including many of the podcasters, all have a argument as to what's wrong with our country, but nobody seems to want to come up with a solution. Everybody seems that, well, we got this problem and that problem, but we don't know how to fix it. How do you fix it? So did you see the letter I wrote? Did you see the letter I sent out? on getting Al Sayed off the ballot. I didn't write that. That was written by Janice Daniels. No, I didn't. I got to tell you, we have been flying around all, I mean, we have been moving around so much and talking to people and everywhere we go, people are, we're voting for you. We're voting for you, Donna, and go get them. There's been almost no dissent whatsoever from because what I'm seeing is people who feel absolutely hopeless because they're awake to the fact that both Republican and Democrat parties are a criminal organization who has taken foreign money in the election, who has done nothing to help them, who has given them hand-sheltered, bad candidates, and they're looking for us. Yeah, the problem is government's not out there to help us. The government's there to protect our life, liberty and property. That's all the government is supposed to do. They're not supposed to help us. They're not supposed to support us. They're supposed to run a government that is fair and honest to the public, which is open, marketing, open marketplace, free, and I don't like to use that word because that sounds like I'm a one world person, but give us a marketplace that we can work in and give us the freedom without all of the chains that are binding us and let us produce and become who we want to become. that's what the government's supposed to do not what they've been doing over the last since what back through uh roosevelt's time they they've been trying to make life better for the people by social security and all of these other processes which they shouldn't have been doing in the first place they should just give us the opportunity or open the opportunity for us to produce and become who we really want to become. Then they're doing their job. But their responsibility is not to do something for us. Their responsibility is to get the heck out of the way and let us do it ourselves because we can do it. And most people will do it. uh they'll invent things they'll do things uh you see tons of movies out there about people inventing stuff and making life better for the next generation let us alone and keep what you've earned you know keep what you've earned to help other people i really think that if the money was in the hands of the people, instead of the government making these decisions and creating all these social programs, we would be way better off. So just about, I think about how it used to be taken care of. People actually reached out to their neighbors and help their neighbors. They would, they would get together in the churches and the Grange halls and that sort of thing. And honestly, Just just, you know, be there for the people around and they care. It wasn't this constant, you know, I'm going to grab as much as I can for me and mine and that sort of thing. There was actually a caring for a larger group of people because they got together, they worked together and they did projects. They they were there when somebody needed help. instead of having to stand in the line with our little beggar cup to anything that the government puts together and trying to jump through their hoops. I mean, we look like a bunch of little orphans with our beggar cups trying to have the government you know do something with what they stole from us and and i alleged we're already a communist and i know you're going to take issue with this but we're already operating i'll clarify we're operating as a communist country though we are we're attempting to do that but we're not we're not there yet we are able to still stand on our feet and make change and and do adjustments but we got to be willing to do that we got to be willing to let the government get out of our way and let us proceed and move forward uh yes we are we do have a lot of social programs and social ideas uh but we're not at that point yet where we've not been totally revolutionized according to norton versus shelby county were partially revolutionized in some areas like like the judicial system, which has been revolutionized in many areas. And they're trying to do that with with the legislature and executive branch revolutionizing us to a degree. They even did it with the sixty three constitution in Michigan revolutionizing us. But they haven't completed that. And so we are partially revolutionized, but we still have the Constitution. It still has life and power, and we can still press it. And so as long as that's standing and the Constitution is standing, we have the strength to change the system. And we have to do that. We have to get off of our cans and stop saying, what is the government going to do for us? And what is so-and-so going to do for us? And get out and do it ourselves. Because we are... Say what? I want the government to do nothing in my life. Exactly. Get off our back. Get away from us. They're supposed to run government, not run the public. But they're running the public. They've been trying to gain power now. We understand, or at least I understand that this battle that we are in the war, this war that we are in is between the old British system from seventy one when Nixon got rid of the Brenton Woods and some of the other agreements that we were under and turned it over to the Brits. And the Brits have been right. Brits have been trying to take over America since, you know, eighteen twelve when they invaded the capital or not the capital, the White House, the eighteen twelve war that we had. In fact, you know, they've they've been on the losing end, but they've been doing their best to try to take over. And since seventy one, they have we have been living under the British system where they control the oil, where they control the economy or commerce. And we play to their fiddle. We got to get away from that. And that's what Trump has done. He's destroying the British system right now. He's destroying the control of oil by the British system and turning us into a more of a free market system. And that's what we need to push forward. We need to follow Trump's philosophy because he knows what's going on. He knows the system. He knows the war. And we, over this time period, have not been really understanding what this is all about. We're concerned about the war going on in Iran. Well, the war has to go on in Iran because those people, the Iranians, have been controlling the price of oil through the Brits. And the British have been doing this all along. Now we've destroyed them. And eventually we're going to get away from the banking system, which is the fake money, which has created the fake economy, which has created the fake government we're living in. That's what we have to get rid of. And then we can flourish like America was meant to flourish in the very beginning. We were the only country in the world that had the greatest industrial boom across the world because we were able to do that because people were free to get away from government control and move forward. And that's where we need to go. We need to go back to that system where we are in control. America or Michigan was one of the greatest industrial powers at one point. we had the auto industry that was doing i mean mega money we were we had the greatest economy in michigan but it was destroyed because we were so good by our government or those people in government that didn't want michigan to be as powerful as it was and now we got lame ducks and they've been lame ducks even on the day they were voted in that public Okay, sock puppets, whatever you want to call them. They do not understand how to bring back and make Michigan great again. Because we had one of the greatest industries going in the entire world, in the entire United States, in the entire world. And it was taken away from us piece by piece over time. And so now we have to rejuvenate that whole process and bring that industry back. A country that doesn't create and a country that doesn't build things is a country that isn't going anywhere. And so we were from the day one, great inventions, I mean, telephone, electricity, I mean, go on and on and on about what we have developed over time. And we could still go further forward if given the opportunity and not being destroyed by government. Well, I can honestly say I'm getting a reverb here, an echo. See if we can figure this out a minute. I don't hear the echo, but that's okay. I'm getting feedback on it, but I think it evened out, so that's good. I had to give it a minute. So, but... Yeah, yeah, and the disconnect, you know, there were some real problems with the Industrial Revolution because the bankers, once again, were honestly controlling that. So when I went to Promontory... Remember, what's that? It was when the Federal Reserve took over and they started controlling the system. Yeah, we started losing it back then. I think it was before that, though, John. I really do. And this was just from my own perceptions. I never had anybody say this, but this is what I saw when I went to promontory. The lies came even before that. That was just the last nail in the coffin. Oh, yeah. But, you know, when you look at what they did there with the railroads going, the railroad, the Transcontinental Railroad going through, they exterminated millions and millions of bison. Think about this. The skulls were like, you know, piled up into piles and the bones and that sort of thing. They exterminated them and killed off the food supply. They're doing the same thing. The Bolsheviks did it in the Bolshevik revolution. They went after the farmers. And so in America, what I see here is the poisoning of our crops. So I was at an event where RFK was at. And we look at this and say, this is good, this industrialization. But honestly, I think the decentralization is a better process than a lot of that. So we need to retool the way that we did it because they did it wrong. And they did it in order to even centralize the resources, the industry, the capture, all of that. So I agree, we have to be producing things. But we need to have discussions on how to do this better because we did it wrong the last time. Perhaps some of the stuff, we do understand that the whole idea of taking over America was going on way back in the eight hundreds, eighteen twelve, like I said, when the British attacked the White House. This stuff has been going on for a long time. But there were still not, the lack of control over the public back then, and even years later, gave the American people an opportunity to move forward and do things, to invent things. I'm not saying that Henry Ford was a great guy. He did some bad stuff too. But at least he invented a process, a car, an automobile, and then the people that developed the different types of weapons, Browning and the types of guns and things that we use today. These people were inventors. They came up with an idea. They came up with a philosophy, the bike riding. The bikers, the people that are on bicycles, the airplane and all this stuff, those were developments because people were given the opportunity and the freedom to develop those things. We have been stifled. Isn't it amazing that we have been flying with jets since what? Since after World War II, but we haven't progressed beyond that. since then. Got to protect those corporate contracts, you know. We are still using the same technology we used years ago. Yeah, we've tweaked it a little bit. Same with automobiles. We've tweaked them a little bit, but we haven't been able to come up with a vehicle that gets here and there, there's a vehicle, thirty miles an hour, thirty miles a gallon of gas. We haven't been able to come up with that with our inventions. And yet we were able to invent the car to begin with, and invent the eight cylinder engine, and so on and so forth. In other words, the technology that we are living on today is the technology we pretty much developed years ago. It doesn't make any sense. Why got that the kill switches in them, which is is such an awful idea. Somebody came to me one day and said, oh, I think this is a great idea to have them be able to put a regulator on the car. And I said, so what happens if you're in your car and you need to get away from a threat real fast? You don't have a choice if they've got your car. They keep taking it. I'd love to see anybody that wants to build a car build a car. And, you know, you want to put it on the road. That's fantastic. I really think that the regulatory crap and capture is just to keep the innovation inventions out. to protect the corporate interest, which is absolutely opposite of what they should be doing. All of this needs to be pretty much gutted. Yeah, I don't say it's the corporate interest. I say it's the government interest. I say it's those people in charge that are attempting to control the public. That's what this is all about. I mean, we went to green energy for the purpose of trying to control the public. because if you get an electric car that only goes a hundred and fifty miles on a on a charge, then that's all you get is a hundred and fifty miles. We we have given up a lot of our freedoms and the same at the airport with TSA. Take your shoes off. I guess now you don't have to do that anymore. Take your shoes off. Can't carry a bottle bigger than two ounces on in the plane and so on and so forth because you could be a terrorist. This whole idea of what's going on is crap. and it's because the government is attempting to control us and when i say the government i don't mean washington necessarily or lansing i mean the the idea of government the over overseer and those overseers are most of them bureau rats that have been living in and operating in that philosophy for years and being paid by the system and they don't want to give up that gravy trade But that gravy train has got to go in order for the public to be able to expand and come up with new ideas. I've heard that there are people that have developed engines that run on water and run on helium and run on what was the other one? Anyway, other than gasoline. And if those vehicles could be produced or brought out, but they can't be brought out because people control patents or government controls patents or government kind of siphons. That's another problem, the whole patent process. What a joke. Take Tucker, for example, in his car. The Tucker vehicle in... automobile that he made, had some great innovative ideas, but he was squashed by the who? By the big three automakers. It's a cartel. Who helped him do that? It wasn't just Ford Motor Company was going to crush him. It was Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Chrysler, and the the entity of government that helped destroy tucker he wasn't the only inventor uh uh the uh what's his name the electric guy the guy that invented electricity um no not edison um uh anyway And you know who I'm talking about. Yeah, I'm going to flip this around. Let's flip this around a little bit. Because I'm going to assert that the politicians that are in office and the unelected ones that are getting a paycheck from them, I'm going to assert that they're an agent of the corporations and foreign governments. Because when you look at the amount of money they put into campaigns, it's the corporations that are backing. And they're backing and they are literally backing choosing who is going to be in there through the lobbying activities, the contracts they'll get, the favors and that sort of thing. So they're actually just representing corporate interests. They have no interest in, we're just in the way and we're another asset they can steal from. I mean, you talk to these people, and I know you have, it's like I talk to them and I'm like going, this is like, they're some of the dumbest people I've ever met in my life. The politicians. Well, politicians are stupid because most of them are put in office because they're stupid, because they're yes men and no women. And they'll follow along the philosophy of what's going on at the time. They blow with the wind. They're a flag out there. If the wind's blowing in one direction, they'll go that way. And if it's blowing in another direction, they'll go that way, as long as they can make their pound of flesh off the public. The only people that make money in this country are the producers of things. Government produces nothing. Government takes from people and gives to others. That's what government can do. But government cannot produce anything. They don't have the factories. They don't have the knowledge. They don't have the skills. They are not productive. They are a leech on society. That's what we have to remove or get control of. Yeah. And you look at it exists to self-enrich people. and do favors for their buddies and honestly have a better life within an administrative position in the government. They produce nothing, absolutely nothing. But what they have been engaged in is this whole public-private partnership nonsense is trying to take over our businesses and they've been actually Pretty successful in doing that if you look at the structure. So my whole thing is that yesterday I said it, I'm going to say it again. I'm calling for an unconditional resignation of every single person in the government because they're criminals. No negotiation. You need to resign and or you will be counted amongst those that have committed crimes against the United States. We are in a declared war, which takes them out of a judicial process, which is not working either. So the judges, you can take issue with this one too, or maybe think this thing through a little bit. But I'm calling for them all to resign. They absolutely have broken every law. They have not upheld their oath of office. They have not upheld the Constitution. They're nothing more than parasites. And if they don't resign, when this thing flips and it's going to, they're going to be counted as collaborating with the enemies. Well, I agree with that to a degree. But I think that those people that are in office and those people that are in bureaucracy that have an oath of office and follow their oath of office are probably okay. We need to go after those that do not follow their oath of office. Now, I agree that probably eighty percent don't follow their oath of office. And when you violate your oath of office, you're out. And it's not a matter of voting them out or taking them to court. Norton versus Shelby County says an unconstitutional act is not a law. And if you break that constitution and violate that constitution, you're out. You don't exist. You're gone. And that's the way we handle it. And we can do that. We can do that. Norton gives us the power to kick out these bureau rats and to kick out the elected officials, whether they were voted in office by one hundred percent of the people or not. If they violated their oath of office, they're fake. They need to be gone. And that's that's the standard by which we should be operating. because every state has an oath of office and the federal government has an oath of office. So if you violate your oath of office, what are you doing? You've lied to the public and you've lied to yourself and you've lied to God. You've lied to everybody because you violated that sacred oath that you swore that you would follow when you got into office and you're gone. That's it. And there's no there's no trial. You're just gone. You violated it. You're out. And that's the way we should be looking at this. You know what I'm going to do today? I'm going to start a list, and I'd like you to help me with this, of all the violations that they have. I mean, we can go back to the Declaration of Independence and the grievances there. They're guilty of every single one of them. But we need to start a specific list for all the ways that they have violated and the, their oath and the law and just start, start publishing it because I think people would be shocked because they don't even know how far they've gone to absolutely make sure that they're part of the fall of what they intended for America. Thank God for president. Let's start with the very most easily and simplest one we've got. And that's the fake money system. if you have forced payment from a citizen in something other than gold and silver coin, you have violated Article One, Section Ten, Clause Three of the Federal Constitution. That's it. Any state official that is forcing, and public functionary, that is forcing payment of something other than gold and silver coin, which doesn't exist in the marketplace, is violating Article One, Section Ten, Clause Three of the United States Constitution. That's as clear as it can be. You have just violated your oath of office because you said that you would uphold the Constitution, and yet you're violating Article One, Section Ten, Clause Three of the federal Constitution. So you are violating your oath of office. That's like the illegal alien who comes in our country illegally and says, I have the right to have a trial, to have a baby and have that considered an American citizen. You violated the first primary directive, which was breaking into this country illegally, and you're a criminal right off the bat, and that's the way you need to be judged. You're a criminal. So if you violate Article One, Section Ten, Clause Three, and I can't think of anybody in office that hasn't violated that office, that oath, especially judges, especially judges for speeding tickets and ordinance officers, and they've all violated Article One, Section Ten, Clause Three. And it very clearly says no state can make anything but gold and silver coin a tender and payment of debt. This goes all the way back to the beginning of this fake money system with the fake banks. So you've got probably about maybe ninety-nine percent of all of the public functionaries that are in office right now. that had been violating that oath of office. And we can go on. There are other parts of that gold and silver process that was supposed to force government to not go into a funny money system as they have gone into. That was Jefferson and Hamilton and all of those people that said this will Once and for all, get rid of paper money forever. Article one, section ten, clause three. And it's been violated constantly. So you want to find out who's got to get kicked out of office? Anybody that has attempted to force payment from a citizen in something other than gold and silver coin, which doesn't exist. So they can't collect. Well, they've been and they've been commandeering and stealing homes. They've been stealing the taxes. It's all extortion. And it's this system is based on punitive. You do what we say or we're going to take your stuff. You know, I I still don't understand why the code enforcement. in the townships and in the cities. I don't understand why those are even being allowed because they can basically come up to your house, say, you need to fix this, and if you don't, we're going to fine you. Well, most of the time, it's people that are having to struggle getting that done anyway. People are struggling, and they're struggling right now. So the government makes it worse. It says, we're going to fine you because we want you to keep things up to this level of care. I have a real problem with that because it shouldn't be punitive. Let's let's take the money from somebody who's already struggling and put them further in the hole so that we can continue to put them in their hole so that we can literally take their house when they fail completely. Why isn't the government stepping up and saying you don't have to do this? However. if you want some help, we can see if we can offer help. I don't think they need to, but I think that if we are doing things correctly, it doesn't even mean that the government needs to do the work. It means that if it can encourage the climate for people to be involved, it would be wonderful. Like, let's just say instead of giving welfare out where people sit on their tails, do it like a piece right thing. Here's a job. If you want to eat, pick something to do. And there's going to be someone to oversee what you're doing to make sure the quality of work is correct. And once it gets inspected and corrected, we got it. We got to, uh, at this point in time, we've screwed this society up so bad that we've disabled people. They don't even know how to live anymore. Whose fault is it? Our own government. And so we're going to have to have a transition period again to get people to the point where they are not functioning as dependents, because that's what's happened. I agree to a point that the government is getting out of control, but I go back to the old adage that I put out when I was a teacher, that if you don't know your rights, you don't have any. i need to take a break for a second so i'll be right back i'm gonna you know what i'm gonna do john i'm gonna go ahead and uh this is what i'm gonna do hang on i'm gonna read this so i'm gonna i i decided to grok this a minute and see what grok has to say article one second section one clause one of the u.s constitution states that no state shall make anything but gold and silver coin a tender and debt payments of debts. This is a restriction on the states, not the federal government. The federal government has explicit authority under Article One, Section Eight to coin money, regulate value thereof and regulate and related part. Oh, I can't wait to hear what John says this. He's going to say you're wrong. So I think Grok might be wrong in this instance. And I do think that they probably use this to subvert the original intention. So we're going to see, because when you get into Grok, here's a great exercise in critical thinking. Never believe anything in its entirety. Never believe anything in its entirety, because it is definitely taking input. When you look at AI, it's listening to every conversation that's been had over the years. So the problem with it is that It's listening to good and bad. It's a tool. It's not God. It doesn't have the right answer every time. And you have to check the sources on it. So it is the constant here. From what we were talking about, we went into illegal aliens. The Constitution does not grant an unrestricted right of entry. Okay. Article one, section eight is Congress power over naturalization. And the Supreme Court has long been recognized broad federal authority over immigration and border control. See, this is the problem. They didn't go back far enough to when they started the subversion of our country. So we're going to have to really, really talk about this. Hang on one second. And I'm going to see, I'm going to bring another friend here just a minute. Hang on one second. Because I'm staff, I'm doing everything. That's just the way it is. So, but there's a lot we need to talk about because the things that have been done wrong are going to have to be righted. And we need to do it in a lawful way, not on opinions. And that's the problem that we have with most things is it's opinions. So I'm actually here with Robert. So I'm going to see if you can join me while John is away. Could you see if Robert could come in a minute, please? Thank you. So I'm going to see if you can join us a minute because he's going to have an opinion on this too. He and I actually think very similarly on most issues. We're both pretty disgusted with what's happening in Dearborn. And like all things, there are no heroes in this story. There's people that have done probably non-ideal ways of dealing with things, and that's the problem. So once you get into a fight, one person pushes. Human nature is for the next person to push back, push back, push back, instead of trying to find some sort of a – common ground but the the main thing is is that we're living in a society that's all opinions right now everything is based on opinion rather than on truth so robert was outside i'm going to have robert jump in here a minute because he was outside actually working like is unusual in our country. So here, let's see. Can you move over this way a little bit? If I get too much of the up there. Okay. Yep. So we're talking about the problems in Dearborn. We're also talking about the fiat currency and what really needs to happen. So, so John was talking about the reasons why we need to get rid of things. I grokked it and grokked came up with a little bit of a woke take on it. That needs to be, needs to go ahead and go down. But anyhow, what, um, what are your thoughts about Dearborn? Because we are going to Dearborn today, both Robert and I, he's my Lieutenant governor candidate choice. I nominated him and exceptionally good candidate for Lieutenant governor. He knows the law and he knows, he knows, uh, very well trained in military policies, procedures. as well as structure. So anyhow, what we've been talking about here on Dearborn, because there's no heroes in this story. Everybody's spinning it. Somebody's paying everybody. There is nobody that's in the right in this situation. The only thing that's right is going back to the law. And that's exactly what you're talking about, Governor, because Um, Yahweh says, know the truth and the truth will set you free. So in order for us to know the truth, we got to see it for ourselves and, you know, and see what's really going on there. Um, I've been over to Egypt a couple of times. Um, the people are pretty nice, you know, they're, they, they give you this shirt off their back. They welcomed us into their houses, you know, and, um, What's going on over there is, you know, we're hearing all this stuff, but we're not really seeing the truth. They said that there was bikers supposed to be coming down there and we went to verify that. And it was actually in twenty twenty five, I believe it was a picture of a bunch of bikers heading on a highway, but in Brazil. So we have to quit listening to everything and verifying for ourselves. That's the real Christian way. Because like I said before, the Lord tells you to know the truth and the truth sets you free. So we're going to go down there and find out. I want to talk to people and find out what the truth is, because I don't think we know actually what has gone on in these meetings. I don't think that we know the truth on so much of it. Like they're pointing us to look there. But do you realize that there have been ninety Catholic churches that have been decommissioned for lack of a better word? And they're tearing them down in the Detroit area. This isn't the Muslims doing this. This is this is, say, the church and or. Whoever is the powers that be on this, this isn't a Muslim problem with this part of it. And I'm sure they're going to pick this up and put it in the news and say, look what the Muslims did because they're trying to get us to fight. I think that we need to be you know, we need to charge right into the fire here and find out what the truth is. Because as we said, just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do something, right? What do you what do you need to do to hit the goal and not be emotional, but to hit the goal in the best way possible for the healing of the people around us. And sometimes that means, you know, going to war. Sometimes that means you have to deal with the situation. I'm not opposed to that. But the way we're doing it now, it's all the wars are all for money. And the division is all for killing people because that's where the big money is for the people that are in charge. Look at Big Pharma. Right. Both sides have used the Hegelian dialect on you people. And it's like it's crazy because they create a problem. They wait for your reaction, and then they already have the solution. And it's usually to kill more people. Right. And the thing is, is that we're at war right now, and people got to understand that. Your your speaker of the House said that he's a wartime speaker. So that makes your your president, the commander in chief, a wartime president. His only job is to protect our country at all costs. Now, we're going to go down there and find out if these people are trying to create Sharia law. That's against the law. And that's against that's treason. That's a problem. So then we'll have to figure that out. But if they're there and they're standing on the Constitution, some of you people don't even realize our Constitution has been hijacked. So we have to go back to the original Constitution because... We're a nation that needs to stand on common sense, common law, and common grammar. You know, we've got to get rid of this legalese crap. Because if you watch some of the, go and watch some of the city council meetings in Dearborn. Here in St. Clair County, if I go down to the city council, I'm in the township. So our city manager decides that since I'm in a township, I can't even speak until everything's all said and done. The city manager, you have to understand, works for us. Well, actually, he works for the mayor, and the mayor works for us. But this guy walks all over. When I'm watching the city council in Dearborn, they have dialect with each other. We need to find out. The point being is that we need to find out. I did some research on pig blood and guts in the street, and I'm not really sure that that's actually what happened. So we decided that it's time to cut through the nonsense and actually, you know, when you're running a company or you're running a business, you need to be on the ground to see what's happening. Because, and even when you're not on the ground, unless you go on kind of like undercover boss, to see what's going on, you're probably not going to get the truth. So going back to the crisis, the ethics crisis in America, we kind of got the government we deserved in a way because of the corruption and the founding fathers knew it. They knew that we had that the Constitution was only adequate for a moral people. So we've got problems on every level. and that brings us back to the fact that we're in a spiritual war right now. So thank you. John's back. How are you doing, John? You guys need to hear from Robert. He's a lot of fun to talk to, and he's got very much a warrior position on everything, which I kind of like. I'm kind of that way too. Savagery runs deep here. So where do we leave off, John, the fiat currency? Well, yes, the the whole idea since seventy one, since Nixon got us off the gold standard and got rid of the Bretton Woods agreement, the whole philosophy of building the rest of the world up and making the world a better place disappeared under Nixon. not blaming nixon necessarily uh because he had bad advice he had kissinger who was a british uh agent as far as i'm concerned and talked uh nixon into giving up that and going in and making uh the oil the uh petrodollar system which created the power of control for the brits So that's what we're fighting. We're fighting the British system against the American system. And people that are asleep at the switch and have Trump-Durain syndrome don't understand that. They think that, I don't know what they're fighting, what they think they're fighting, liberal versus conservative. I don't know what their philosophy is because they don't want to talk about it. And when you drop... Sorry, go ahead. When you talk to somebody that is a so-called liberal or whatever he is, he uses the great soundbites of the television. He can't think for himself. He doesn't tell me why or what. He just thinks of what a soundbite says. Oh, Trump is this or Trump is that. But he doesn't give any reason why he says that. He's a name-caller. is very intellectually absent. This is our problem. Intellectually absent. I'm stealing that, John. I'm so stealing it. So I have another question to ask you. So it is my opinion that this whole thing of the Straits of Hormuz was President Trump going after the Bank of England, which has been a problem for a very long time. I have another question. I have a question for you, though. Is it possible that Israel is honestly nothing more than a proxy state of the crown? Because they set it up. using an identity, a religious identity that people really, that people hold close to their hearts? I really don't think that Israel is controlled by the crown. I think Israel is controlled by Trump, if anybody. He understands what's going on. He wants peace in the world. He wants peace in the Middle East. And the deep state doesn't want that. The deep state needs the turmoil to go on in the Middle East. They need Iran to be the power that Iran was in the past to control the Strait of Hormuz, to control the oil prices. Because when the ships go into the Strait of Hormuz, and there's a conflict, then the ships have to pay big money to England, to the Lloyds of London to protect their ship. So they pay millions of dollars to protect their ships, and then they control the oil. That's part of the OPEC system. That's part of the old system, controlling the oil to keep the energy level under a particular situation so they can control our productivity. They can control our industry. It's all based on energy. Everything that we do has to have some form of energy to produce whatever we're producing. So the Brits had us under control for a long, long time. And Trump is breaking free of that. He's destroyed the straight of her most possibilities. of controlling the oil. And now he's allowing American ships or other ships to go in and get the oil. And he's destroyed Iran's ability to produce and sell their oil. And consequently, that money is not going to Britain. Britain is suffering. Lloyd's of London is suffering. So this is part of the process. and it's a long process it's not an easy process remember it's taken years for the brits to build this up uh and now that now it's uh being disassembled disassembled and so this is what's going on this is why the war in in the middle east was or in iran was absolutely necessary. This was why it was absolutely necessary to remove the power of the Brits from the control of oil and take the money system away from them. And he's doing a great job. I love that because I believe, as you do, that nothing is as it seems. But I think President Trump and the good guys are doing a really good job. When you look at what they do, they change things up a little bit, keep the bad guys kind of confused a little bit, but also other people that might get in the way. So they've got a mission. The mission is to give the government back to the people. And that's what they're doing. Yeah, you don't tell the enemy what you're doing. You can leave them in any direction you want, but you never tell them what you're doing. So he's doing a great job. He's keeping money. He's keeping that information away from the deep state. He's keeping it away from the general media. He's keeping it away from reporters that will leak it or lie or cheat and steal or make something out of nothing. That isn't fair. He's doing a great job. And my hat's off to them because I know how difficult, because of my military experience, it is to fool the enemy or to get the enemy to move in a different direction than they are moving right now. Just kind of adjust the war so the enemy does something and you know where they're going and you can control the enemy based on that. He's doing a great job as far as I'm concerned. Militarily, I see it. Unfortunately, too many people in this country don't get it. They haven't been in that situation. They haven't been in the military, and they don't understand the war that we're fighting. It's not a war that we get guns and go after the enemy. It's a war of information. And the information is going to be correct sometimes and not correct other times. And it's going to be misleading at times, and it's going to be misdirecting at times. And it has to be that way, because guess who else is listening besides you and me? The enemy. So we don't want them to know what's going on. And I think he's doing a fabulous job. I do, too. And, you know, you listen to a lot of people that are They look at the symptoms and make their decisions there. Karen the Riveter, by the way, said, I'm thrilled to hear you're going to Dearborn. Now we can find out what is really happening there. And I think all of us are in that. When I heard the offensive things coming out of there, my first thing is, is what are you doing, right? And then last night I had to really think about that and go, Well, how do we know it's true? Because everybody's been lying about everything else. So we're going to go find out. I want to sit in on the meeting. I want to see what's happening there. I want to go back to what is the law of the land, what they can and can't do, and what their rights are as American citizens if they actually came here to become an American. It's almost like having two spouses when you're a dual citizen. Honestly, you know, you can't or two masters, you can't serve two masters because they're always looking to give one favor over the other or they're being coerced into it. So I think we need to really look at that. I think anybody who's a dual citizen should be absolutely prohibited from holding office. You got to make a choice. make in choice and you know that's biblical too who do you serve choose this day who you serve if you can't make a choice get out of the game until you get it figured out I hate to cut you short, but it's time that I disappear here because I have another question. Chris is going to be on in a minute. I think he had a delay of some sort, but he'll be in here in just a minute. So I'll get Robert back in here a minute while I'm going to pull him out of his work. He's out there with his wife right now, and I know they're working on a project. So I'll see if you can come back in here a minute. We will be at Nicola's this Wednesday. So if you can show up, that'd be great. Nicholas is in Southfield and off of Telegraph, just north of Ten Mile Road. If you get a chance to show up, we'll be there between seven and nine. No, not seven, five and nine. I keep getting these two that's so mixed up with the Nicholas. Between five and nine. And we've asked anybody that has sent them the letter out. And by the way, you need to look at that letter. I have some time today. Today is the first day that I honestly have some time to do anything. I haven't even caught up on my emails. And jump on board and send those letters out to your public functionaries too. Because those letters are basically to say El-Sayed has no ability or no law or no reason to be on the ballot for Senate. So, and we're asking our public functionaries to remove him, remove him from the voting. So you go back to your clerk of your area and have them removed from the ballot and you go to your state rep and you say, hey, because you have the plenary power to resolve elections in Michigan, fix this. And of course, Benson, who is kind of a, far as I'm concerned, a lame duck in the process of the elections, but she does wield the power. So we have to send one to her too. And then we give them seven, I've given them seven days to respond. And if they don't, I'm going to start filing lawsuits against them for violating their oath of office, violating their oath of office, not supporting or upholding the Constitution, Article IV, Section IV of the Constitution, which says we have a Republican form of government. So check it out. Yes. Well, that's awesome. I'm going to see if we can get Robert back in here a minute. Just hang on, if you can hang on for just a minute. Chris is a little, Chris is delayed. What's that? I don't have more than a second or two. Okay. Well, go ahead, go, and I'll try to resolve this. So thanks for being on. And I'm going to go to a little bit of a break, and we'll be back on with Robert Cowper. And then shortly thereafter, I think Chris is going to be on. Hang on one second. Fifty-seven seconds. I'll be right back. Good morning and welcome to the second hour of Brandenburg News Network. I am Donna Brandenburg. It's the eighteenth day of August twenty twenty six and welcome to our show. And we're waiting for Chris Kyle to come on in a minute. He's he's a little bit delayed, which understandable. This is what happens when you go live and it's authentic. So I'm just going to let Robert talk about about things for a minute because I want people to get to know you. How are you doing? My name is Robert Cooper. I was in the army. for seven and a half years. I worked for the post office for thirty plus years. I recently retired about probably about six weeks. I used to walk twelve miles a day delivering the mail with being a carrier. And I just do a lot of different research on different things. I've been with Donna for quite a while. I used to do her security the last time she ran with another buddy that was Chris. So we went around with her and watched a lot of things that happened. We've got a lot of plans that we've talked about, and it's kind of interesting to actually research and find the problems and then find the solutions for it. So as I said before, we're going to run down to Dearborn today and see exactly what's going on here because we have a lot of questions. Nothing really is as it seems right now, but I think that all things can be – can be dealt with if you hit the problems head on. And so that's what we're going to do. We're going to go down there and I'll probably do some video work down there and see what actually is happening. We're going to ask some questions. If the Constitution is being violated in any way, we're going to call it out. I think there's lies coming from both sides because they're trying to get us in a war on American soil. It's just like the programming. The programming is so deep within the political parties right now. It is insane. It is insane. We can talk about Jay DeBoer. We can talk about Jocelyn Benson. We can talk about all of these people that are running right now that to me they just look like sock puppets someone is funding them right and you got to ask yourself what's going on really in dearborn that's what we're going to try and find out it's kind of like a kind of like a military operation for for me it's um something that i used to do um like the military intelligence would tell us that um The enemy's over here, and this is what they got and everything. So we'd have to do what they call snoop and poop. We'd have to go in and find out to verify. So that's what we're going to do. We're going to go down and do a little recon, which I'm just going to blend in with people, talk to people, and find out the truth. Because I don't think what's really going on that you're hearing about is the truth. I think they're trying to get you to look at this and there's something else that they're trying to keep us away from. So that's what we're gonna go find out. Yeah. So should be kind of a fun day, actually. It's, it's amazing how, when we're out, how many people come up to us and want to talk to us because they're, they're totally done with the current system. And I mean, totally done with it. So we talked to somebody yesterday who has a child that, that has some difficulties. She has no, no help at all while her dad's helping her, which is amazing. But the bullying and the options in school, the ones you talked about, the school and the conditions that her daughter is in was pretty heartbreaking. So we get to hear a lot of real stories from real people, which I like. I like listening to the real stories. I don't want to be told through the news what we're supposed to believe. We're really supposed to be working together in order to fix these problems. so yeah and you you can find that stuff out too by just just listening people and uh use use your use uh the heart you know because um we were at a uh we were at a restaurant the other day and um i was gonna hand out i usually hand out cards to people but i was i was like no i'm not gonna hand out a card to this lady and uh she's our weight one of our waitresses and it kept getting on my heart that you need to give this lady a card, you know, and I kept saying, no, I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. And then, uh, about the last time I says, all right, I'm going to give her a card. So she gave, we gave her a card, told us what we're all about. You know, Donna's running for governor. I'm running for Lieutenant governor, John Lucky. He's running for our attorney general, Scott Ogney. He's running for our secretary of state. Outstanding candidates. Right. And she, a good team, you know, a team that's, uh, got a lot of knowledge and, um, Sorry. She started crying, didn't she? Yeah, she was crying. She had a story, you know, and the Lord knew she had a story, and that was supposed to be laid on our heart, and we were, you know, supposed to listen to what she had to say. So Donna got up and listened to her story and everything. She needed a hug that day. Yeah. They had the friend of the court, family court, took her son away she hasn't seen him in a year right and her life is just destroyed and you could just see the sadness not even before we talked to her the sadness that she has and carries every single day at the loss of her child think about this think about the court systems and the destructions that have happened in our families. And also to the point, friend of the court, that's not a friend of us. They're exactly what they say they are. They're a friend of the court. You got to listen to the words of the things that are being put out there. Yeah. So that was amazing. We gave her our phone number and said, if you need somebody to talk to, give us a call because nobody should be alone in these situations. She's very much alone. It was heartbreaking. We hear stories like that all the time when we're out there. It's not the political class that sits in their little meetings and everything's sanitized and the free coffee and cookies and such. We're going out and talking to people with real problems and real issues that they need people to either reach out and help them or offer some solutions. Part of the problem right now is because the government has become nothing but a revenue generation system. They are stealing from us right and left. If we can get rid of the theft, the money laundering and the corruption, we're going to have a lot of solutions to these problems. We will have the resources. We will have the ability to bring people together. Because to the point, I think we have to have a transition process. We can't just say, oh, CPS is the largest child trafficking network in North America, which they are. And so we can't just say, okay, we're going to abolish this with all these kids in the system. Well, they need to be abolished and all of them need to be arrested for the crimes that they have committed. And these are not just fraud crimes. These are crimes against humanity, and we're at wartime. That's treason. That means that they've got a one-way ticket to Gitmo, and that is it. We cannot continue this nonsense that's going on, and there's no negotiating. We're past the point of negotiation. People have had a chance to get their arms around this and do the right thing. And they're still not getting it figured out. So the people within these agencies, the deep state, the shadow government, whatever you want to call it, it's not the politicians. They're just sock puppets. They're agents of the foreign corporations and such. It's the ones that are behind them, the unelected deep state that have entrenched themselves and have been creating policies to hurt us, and that's what we're about. That's why they are so afraid of us, and they are. You should see people that come to our meetings. We have people that come to the meetings that are full-time propaganda artists for the Republican Party and the Democrat Party. Dar Leaf was threatened by people within the Republican Party. That's who threatened him. It wasn't the Democrats. It was the Republicans that threatened him. and that have tried to stall this up. So before we go to labels like Muslim, Christian, I have more beefs against the Christian church, and I'm a Christian, than any other church because we have to clean our own houses first. We have to clean this thing up. And anybody that's violating the Constitution, they're on the wrong side. That's where we have to go. Right. Most of the churches during the pandemic, I don't even call it a pandemic because it's fake, during the pandemic last time, closed their doors. They told you you had to wear a mask. They told you you had to do this. Those pastors and everything, they answer to a higher calling. They answer to the Lord. They're supposed to answer to the Lord. They don't answer to the governor. So when they try to tell you that you got to wear a mask and all that stuff, you got to think about what they're doing. They're, they're part of a final one. See, you know, they, this way, the way that they use that America, that America flag with the gold fringe. Then that also the five and one C threes, because they're taking government money, right? They are part of the government, right? You can't even call them even the name, non-governmental agency. They're being funded by the government, right? So therefore they're part of it. They're part of the corruption. And that's why we end up with things like the leering centers and such. So we're going to report back on what we find in Dearborn. I see Chris Kyle there. So I'm going to break. You can stay here if you want and such, but, or if you want to head outside, we can do that too. Hey, Chris, how you doing? Good. How are you today, Donna? Good. Really good. So we've been filling time. You're a little bit delayed here. So, but I'm so glad you could be on. So what else do you want to talk about today? Well, We went over some of it yesterday. Yeah. A little bit of both items from that press release I think are worth talking about. One is that the news media can't seem to honestly report what the president says. They're incapable, apparently, of hearing his words and actually treating it as a regular news story. So, you know, part of the press release was, you know, what did the president actually say? And he said he wants people to have confidence in their electoral system. And what evidence did he produce for that? There's been an erosion of confidence in Michigan because things like the GBI strategy story happens and it gets buried. Nobody talks about it. When it comes out, everybody's defensive. and downplays it, minimizes it, and says it's not really important. These are not the droids you're looking for. Right? I love that. So everybody, all the news media goes, these are not the droids you're looking for. Okay, they're just mesmerized by it. You haven't seen anything. Keep on going, keep on going. So, you know, when the president talked again, he kind of straightened out the record a little bit. And he didn't just say there's fraud going on. He says, hey, the FBI's got an investigation. And it was buried. And there was fraud. And we're going to show you the documents. Go look at the documents. Oh, did any of them have any curiosity to go look at the documents? No, they came out and said, well, he's saying bad things. He's saying bad things about us. We don't want our name mentioned in the news. Okay. Whatever, you know, you go where the, um, the smell is where there's smoke, there's fire. Right. So, um, what irked me about the response, especially from the, I wasn't as surprised from the news media because we do live in Michigan. okay as i was of the of the county clerk who like i said last time uh karen sorry kathy whitehead is very nice person when you meet her but she had some bad things to say about both the press release and about what the president had done and then minimized any concerns that there might be that anything was wrong. So she said, everything's fine. We're all working hard and things are going good. And for the most part, that's true. Like I said last time, most of the clerks and all the election inspectors and stuff generally do a pretty good job, although they're under-trained. They're under trained because they don't really know what the problems are. And if they did know what the problems are, they don't know what to do about it. They just let it go by. You know, when somebody shows a Kansas license, uh, to vote in a precinct in Muskegon, uh, the challenger was like, what are you voting with a Kansas license driver's license? Okay. It's an ID wrong ID. It doesn't have the address on it of the person's current address if they do live in Muskegon. You know, there's some people that never update their IDs. They'll drive on their old driver's license for a year or two before they have to or feel like they have to update it. So it's not that I don't think that they're really a resident, but the election inspector should say, what? What are you doing with that? You know, you got to show me some ID that shows that you actually live here. So if you can put a registration in and then vote with a Kansas driver's license, what do you say about, you know, twelve thousand plus registrations that go in with no ID at all to verify who they are? You know, so the clerk is checking their information against her database. And what is her database? Her database is what's supposed to be. all the current people in Michigan. She's got access to the DMV or she's got access to a database that gives information on people in Michigan. Nobody knows what that database is. We don't know if that's just active people or if that's all the people that have ever been on the database. So without a person walking up and you can look at their face and look at their driver's license, and see that they're living in the state at a certain address, that means you got a hole in your election system where somebody can potentially defraud the system by voting when they shouldn't. And this is not to even mention the people that just sign affidavits, walk in and say, I am Santa Claus and I live down the street here. And they say, okay, here's your ballot. How many people are doing that where they're coming in with affidavits or out-of-state licenses that aren't checked? Do we have any idea? We know it's happened, which means it could be half the state. It could be five percent of the state. It could be a hundred percent of the state. We don't know. I mean, it's not likely. The statistical probability is zero on that. I get it. But the illustration is we have no idea. And I know this is going to bother a lot of people. And I support President Trump. I really do. I like his policies. I think he's doing a good job. He got handed a country that was absolutely a disaster. So if anybody wants to blame anybody for anything, I'm just glad somebody showed up that was actually doing something because most people just sit on and complain and they don't do a thing. But we honestly we don't know if he was elected in. we do not know i had somebody bring that up to me because i was in denial for a while i'm like oh you won it's fantastic we got him in and then all of a sudden somebody said oh you know you got him in i'm like oh my gosh and i had to realize that i had a bias there and that was years ago but it was like i had to confront that we don't know well the only thing you could do is try to poke around the edges and find out what the what the facts are and see if they support, you know, what you believe. And the fact is, is that people are cheating in Michigan. There's more than enough evidence to show that the voter rolls are bloated beyond anything that they should be. I mean, we should have maybe five million registrations or maybe four and a half million. You got ten million people in the country, twenty five percent of them are kids in the state. the sorry in the state and then uh so that leaves you with about seven million or so and most of those people don't want to vote or at least don't maybe only seventy five to eighty five percent want to vote so if you go to the seventy five number which is i saw a study that said that was true so seventy five percent of seven million you know you're probably down to what about five That's just the registered voters that want to vote. That's not the turnout. It's not if you have sixty five percent of the five million that turn out to vote. What's sixty five percent? You should be around four and a half million. But a five or five and a half million people turn out to vote. No. What was the number of the last election, the actual number? I think it was five and a half million, but I can't be sure that off the top of my head. So it's too many statistical improbability. It's too many. I mean, this primary, they said there was more than four hundred thousand, five hundred thousand extra ballots in the primary than normal. And, you know, more than fifty percent of them were A.V. ballots. So, you know, having seventy percent A.V. ballots in a primary election. That's. It's not reality. It's hard to believe. You know, I can't say it's fraud. I'd like to say it's fraud. It's not necessarily fraud because you don't know. But the fact of the matter is that if you look at all the other details about who's on the voter rolls and what they've done in the past, there's a tremendous amount of cheating on the mail-in ballots. So you look at the data from the Secretary of State. All of a sudden, all these votes are disappearing off the database. What's a database? It's not supposed to be fluid like a sandbox. So when those kind of things happen, then you have to say, you know, you got to prove to me that what you're doing is right. And she won't. And they won't. And they keep accepting things where there's penetrations in the system. We don't have good chain of custody. And when I'm not even talking about switching votes in the, in the machines now, that's a whole nother ball of wax. Okay. Which I never really wanted to go out on a limb for, but one of the reasons that Trump won, well, there's two main reasons I can say that Trump won and maybe a third. You know, there's a guy out there running this thing called the Tenex program. And he went around and he told Republicans, hey, you got to talk to ten of your neighbors or friends and get them out to vote. That's a good strategy. I think people should do that. They got a cool little software where you put your address in and it'll show you a map and it'll give you little flags within a couple miles of your house of people that should be voting but aren't. And you can go out and you talk to them, get them out. Well, he's he was very happy with the result of the election because he worked really hard to get people to do that. OK, but the other thing was there were one hundred and twenty five thousand extra A.V. ballots sent out. Apparently, according to the secretary of state, due to a coding error. OK, which I don't believe for a second. There's no possible way. I've talked to a guy who's a high level programmer and he says there's no possible way you can make a mistake doing that. You got to work at that really hard. Okay, so she's either got plausible deniability or she's lying. Those are your two choices. And how many times have we found that she's not telling the truth or she doesn't know what she's doing? Plenty. Okay, so she doesn't have a lot of credibility. So we call her up and say, hey, what about these hundred and twenty five thousand extra ballots you sent out to these people? Well, they're probably not people. They're getting them at addresses that are not even in their own county. So if I look at my county's records, I'm not going to see two people to an ID that gets two ballots in my county. That ballot went to a different county. Well, who's getting that ballot? Somebody at the old address? Or are they intercepting these ballots in between? I don't know. I can't figure that out. But there's all kinds of extra ballots floating around. It's insane. Not to mention people could be duplicating them or whatever. There's all kinds of ways you can get extra ballots out there. If you get them out into the AV ballot space, then if you look at the work that's being done in Detroit, that Yehuda Miller got all those images from the Detroit ballots in twenty twenty. They've got a million images that they're going through and you look at duplicate ballots for duplicate addresses and you see that the signatures are completely different, completely different. Oh, why did that ballot get through into the system? Because the secretary of state waived all the signature verification rules. But they sure make that for candidates. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. They were all over that. How many signatures did they throw yours out for? Well, what they did is I turned in like twenty eight thousand. I think it was somewhere between twenty seven and twenty seven, five and twenty eight thousand. And I walk in there and they only acknowledge seventeen thousand of them and took by a pen, struck entire, entire petition, entire petitions, not just signatures. They never did a signature comparison or verification. They just said these are all fraudulent, you know, wholesale fraud. They're gone. And then, but not only that, Brayder lost allegedly, ten thousand of my signatures where they found in another room under a counter where they never put signatures. So this is total targeting of a candidate. And I was the only one, I was the only one that never received a challenge. And I proved it in federal court that, that it was an illegal removal. And I can tell you that one of the investigators that was working on it on the criminal case, I talked to him and he said, he said, too, he said, I hope you understand that this was absolutely about getting rid of you because they were so scared of you. And they were so scared of you that they threw four other candidates under the bus. Well, just to cover up the fact that they're getting rid of you, right? Yeah, he said, and this was right out of his mouth. He said, because they didn't want to make it look like they were targeting me. And then after he said that, they removed him from that position. And I was told that he was threatened and his family was. Now, I can't confirm that, but that's what I was told. Yeah, so, you know, it's not incompetence anymore when there's evidence that, They're doing these things on purpose. I mean, if somebody can't find a stack of your petitions, cause it's on a back desk or in somebody's drawer. Why did they go there? It's a minimum that's gross incompetence. So are you going to get any kind of a relief out of this? Oh, I think sooner or later I am because, because what, you know, what I did is my case is actually the one that ties it into the state of Michigan. Because the state gave an endorsement. A person from the state gave an endorsement when I called in that they saw them. Oh, yeah, yeah. We see them all the time. When I asked if they're a good company. Oh, yeah, yeah. We see them all the time. What do they see all the time? The signature gathers. Oh. They gave an endorsement that they were okay. And Dana Nussel kept saying, well, you should have checked to see their validity, says Little Miss. I paid one point. four million dollars to the signature gatherers, never turned the signatures in conveniently. Looks like money laundering to me and or paying somebody off for something. I mean, think about it. Why would you pay the signature gatherers like one point four million dollars and then not turn the signatures in for anything like that? Why would you do that? And then I don't know if they were paid to do it. Why didn't they perform? They didn't perform for me. They were supposed to have the signatures in by February, and they just kept using extortion on me to get the signatures. I mean, it was extortion. And I'm like, well, I promised my followers I'd get on the ballot, and that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm going to go around this barrier. So we had volunteers, but we also hired another company to make sure we had enough. But it's like playing political frogger. If you're actually a good person, they're going to find a way to subvert it. And so but I'm sorry to get off topic, but the point being is that. that there's a million ways to cheat. They are not doing signature validation for the population, but they use it to target candidates. So Tudor Dixon, she had the wrong date on every single petition. She should have been disqualified. Nope, they let her skate in because she was their pick to support until after she won the primary. As soon as she won the primary, they pulled her support because... Then a group of the oligarchs started Republicans for Whitmer. It was the Republicans that were. And when people tell me otherwise, I'm like, you're stupid. You have not looked into this. You're in the programming. You're ignorant of what happened here. This is all engineered. It's both parties. They're working with the. the deep state, which is the unelected. And I'm sorry, it's just the way it is. And we've tried, we've tried to tell people, you know, and, and try to be nice. They're not waking up because they, Oh, but the Republican party is the only way. Well, now you've got a direct, you know, admission that you don't believe in God and you've made your new God, the Republican party. Congratulations. Right. Well, When they feel like it's the only way, then that's, you know, they're going to put all their eggs in one basket. Brainwashing. And they're going to go with it. Meanwhile, they don't have enough support from the people that have the money and have the tools to be able to do the proper thing for them. So, you know, people are like sheep, you know. In this state, I think there's a lot of people that, don't have the skills or the ability to be able to make some of these decisions and do something different or look into the details of things and they end up getting, you know, taken by the powers that be. What really irks me is not so much the regular people that are having this trouble, but it's the people that run for office and they take advantage of it for their own personal benefit. instead of doing it for the good of what the constituents that they're supposed to have. It's a mix. It's a mixed bag of nonsense. And that's, that's the problem. There isn't any one problem. It's systemic corruption. People have been taken advantage of. They've been stolen from, and they've been moved into a position of regulatory and or capture by the deep state. So if, if a person is following the orders of the deep state or the programming, they're behind enemy lines and they're working for the guys. They don't even know it. They don't even know it that they're a captured asset. That's a real sad. My good friend Tom says, don't attribute to, what is it, malice, what can be attributed to incompetence. And I would start on that end personally, but I'm getting further toward the malice. I'm already there. I'm way there to the mouse. You're way there. Yeah, I'm way there. Part of the reason I do that is, you know, you have to have hardcore evidence. But you can see from the backlash of the twenty twenty that you can't move the center of the country who are going to be the swing voters. You know, because I firmly believe that there's about forty percent firm conservative voters. whether they're Ayn Rand conservatives, Christians or Catholics or whatever, you know, that are always there virtually. And then you've got about twenty percent. I think that number is growing on the left of crazy fruit loops. OK, that they think that everything is so fluid that they can just do anything they want, like abolish the Senate overnight or get rid of the judiciary. I mean, that's That's just flat-out communism, and these people ought to be deported or thrown in jail because they're just going against the Constitution. Let's not just tweak it or improve it. They want to abolish it? No. These people are crazy people, and anybody who votes for that has no comprehension or a hold on reality or the history of the twentieth century. So then you've got the middle... yeah and then you got the middle of the the electorate which is probably you know somewhere about forty percent maybe it's more and and even bill maher you know finally got to the point where he said look if these crazy communists you know keep doing what they're doing you know that his vote is in play which means he could vote for vance for vice president of rubio or something because he doesn't want some kind of stalin devotee or a Mao devotee to be you know controlling the senate or the presidency I mean that's that's insanity and he knows it's insanity now it's so bad he's willing to say it so getting you know in order to move that center you have to be a normal person you have to be a reasonable person and you know the whole divide on medicare for all which is probably the only talking point that the Democrats have left because they've actually nuked all of their other talking points is, and even that one's bad, right? Because who screwed up the healthcare system? It was Obama. He screwed it up. Okay. So now they're saying that it's, it's our fault. It's conservatives fault or Republicans fault because we won't improve their improvement is to go medicare for all well that was the game plan from the beginning we all knew it i knew it before obama even got voted into office that was the long-term plan okay because they think we're stupid enough they can keep taking a slice at a time well you know the tea party decided well that's enough slices and then the national debt was four and a half trillion dollars okay now we're up to what it was thirty five trillion last i looked i think we're close to it to forty Well, it's going to skyrocket. And in the seventies, my father was listening to Ron Paul about what was going to happen. You know, the doomsday scenario about oil being cut off or about hyperinflation occurring. And this is the game plan. When your money becomes worthless and you go into hyperinflation, what's going to happen? Well, Trump is doing the only thing he can, although I hate his talking points, you know, The cost of everything is because the government is spending too much money. And he could pin it all on Biden, except during the pandemic, he allowed the Congress to spend a couple of trillion extra to give people handout checks. And I think that was a moment of weakness because he doesn't want people to suffer. But Fauci is the one that needs to go to jail for that. They need to put him in jail for a hundred years because he was the one pretty much motivating that. Now, outside of that couple of trillion or so, you know, Biden was spending what? He moved our budget to seven trillion a year, which is insanity. So if people want to talk about affordability, you can talk about the Uniparty on that one. Everybody's spending too much money. They're destroying the value of the dollar. And I used to be able to buy a car in the seventies for two hundred dollars off the side of the road. And that's a car that worked, that I could drive, that was reasonably reliable. Nowadays that car is two thousand dollars because the worth of money has dropped so much. Okay, so eggs, steak, I don't care which, everything's more expensive because they're spending too much money. That's what we were saying in the Tea Party back in two thousand and nine. Stop spending money. We could have paid down four trillion. Seemed like an impossible task back then, but we could have paid that down. Thirty years, fifty years. Just put it on the budget plan, right? No, they're incapable of doing that. So getting back to the beginning, though, you know, the. The fact that. It's a partially incompetence, but Jocelyn Benson And Whitmer has accelerated that with malice. There's even talk I saw the other day that somebody wants to get a constitutional convention for the state together. Bad idea. You know who's going to be there? Every lefty crawl out from every rock everywhere. Okay. And if they rewrite our constitution before the midterms or maybe right after the midterms, I don't know. It's a terrible idea. So I could say some stuff that probably they come to my house in, in armored, you know, cars. If I said it, I mean, yeah, this, this is kind of treasonous stuff, but they're getting away with it because they got enough votes. This is why democracy is bad. And why we have the votes because the system is completely corrupt. Well, we have a Republic. You're supposed to be based on laws, but when, um, Benson can change the rules underneath the law, violate the spirit and the whole concept of secure elections, and then just get her hand slapped and there's no consequences for her. You know, back in the seventeen hundreds, we would drug her out of her office, tarred and feather and send her down to Maryland or something. You know, send her to Gitmo because she just. That's a good idea. I get most good idea. So, you know, you wonder. And it's a miracle that all the conservative proud boys and all these other people that they claim are doing all these evil things haven't gotten up and done something serious. They're not. But the Muslims in Dearborn are. OK, and the Democrats in Lansing are. And we're all la-di-da. Oh, I can't pay my groceries. My gas costs too much. And then you go out and you say, you guys got to be peaceful. You shouldn't be saying these things. They want us to be quiet. The ones that are fighting for it. It's incredible. Then you want to get people out to go and canvas the voter rolls. It's too hard. Oh, it's too hard. Then people in the group say, well, let's make up a fancy app on our phone or whatever. I need a fancy app on my phone. Give people a piece of paper, and they can go down, check off each one as they go. I can get many more people to do that, but I can't get enough to do what I need to do. So what I'm saying is that the tone of voice that we need to have to actually win the day has to bring over the moderates in the middle that want to fish and hunt and go to the theater and see good movies. They want their children to be successful. They want their grandchildren to be safe. They want their education to be good. Those people, they don't spend hardly any time ever listening to anything. You go talk to people, they have no idea. And so when they hear an inflammatory talk from the news media that the president is a crazy person, And he doesn't have any evidence when he actually said, hey, there's the documents from the FBI. Go download them. And the president's doing a good job. And he said very reasonable things. Okay, he throws in a few fiery words here and there. He's not a lawyer, so he doesn't have precise language. He doesn't care about that. But you would think that the news media would actually be rational and be honest. No, they're not. They're not. And it's a good thing there's news media like you and other people that are willing to say something about it. And I think, you know, in general, that wave has gotten so big that it's making a profound effect on things. But the problem is in Michigan, we still act like we're a backwater. We don't, you know, nobody comes up to Michigan to do anything. Why is that? It's not because they can't get here on the road. They got the Internet or whatever. Judicial Watch isn't up here. Why haven't they sued? But to be fair, I don't think Judicial Watch doesn't get everybody off the rolls. They get some people off the rolls. They might get thirty percent or forty percent of the actual dead wood and they congratulate themselves and they should. But that's not all of it. But that's what they could get off. So, OK, I can understand that. So we're stuck here. Can't get money. to do the job that we need to do. The people that are sucking money out. I saw a little thing about Cleta Mitchell, who really wields a lot of power. I don't know her. I hear talk about how she moves things. And I don't want to talk about it. Why? It's like, what's behind these people? Well, the article said something about the fact that she's diverting attention away from the real thing. trying to bite around the edges. You know, we'll get a few things done. You know, that gives her more standing with people and more power. And she gets money to bite around the edges and sue people or, you know, put out lots of media. And lots of media is good. Don't get me wrong. But, you know, I always tell people about the shiny penny. Oh, look at me. I got this new shiny penny and everybody should do. Come over here. And if you put out enough media and enough shiny pennies, people flock to you and they think that you're going to have an answer. But is anything getting done? It's the problem. The money is the problem. Well, the money should be there to sue the bastard and put him in handcuffs. That's what the money needs to be. If they're not in handcuffs, then I got a serious problem with if you're making any progress here. Okay. Meanwhile, our challenger rights and our abilities to affect the system keep getting smaller and smaller. And so let's get back to Muskegon for a moment. We get mentioned in the news, and rightfully so, because there's crap going on here. But there's enough plausible deniability that all the people in the shiny suits and have the good haircuts can say, no, we're doing a good job. Okay, well, you're doing... No, you're lying. You're doing a part of a job. Well, I don't think they understand. They're doing a screw job is what they're doing. They're not doing anything here. Well, but the problem is they're allowing somebody else to cheat. So it's not a problem. Oh, I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. Well, you're not doing what you should be doing. You know, there's cheating going on. What are you going to do about it? Oh... When you got to do something that's outside of the little white lines on your job description, all of a sudden that's no, I can't. That's extra work, man. I got enough going on. I still gotta be able to take a vacation, you know, so you're, you're a public servant. You got a serious problem. Fix the pro at least sit down with the people that care. and find out a way that you can implement some changes to move the system so you can fix it okay so that was my beef not not just that they lied about the president not just that they lied about the michigan state police saying that all those registrations were voided and none of them got into the system how do you know that Did Benson give an accounting for all of the twelve thousand five? We don't even know how many there are. News media is quoting six thousand in a lot of places. How do they know it's six thousand? I don't know that it's six thousand. The police report says they got six to ten thousand in a couple of packages. And now the Gateway Pundit says it was actually six packages. And then the final person comes in and she drops twenty five hundred on the desk. right at the end. So I'm going with twelve thousand five hundred until somebody proves to me that it's less than that. And if the secretary of state wants to have any credibility at all, she would release a list or photo images of all those applications because the stories change now. Before they said they found ones and they took care of all the ones that were bad was the implication. But Nestle knows how to talk like a lawyer. And she said a bunch of gobbledygook that people took as if, yeah, we got them all and they're all gone. No, she didn't say that. Okay, what she said is none of them got into being ballots. That doesn't mean that none of them didn't go into the QVF and weren't voted the next election. Okay, prove to me that these are real people. I don't think we have that. We're way over registered in Muskegon before they put the new Then I find out that Eric sent out, I don't know, nine thousand postcards trying to get people registered. And about five thousand four hundred of them actually took them up on it because they got a postcard. Now, why is Eric registering people for in Michigan to vote? It's not their damn job. Well, it's not necessarily against the law either. But about half of those people voted. Did they disappear again? their registration disappear in a year or so after i've got evidence to show that eight thousand registrations disappeared over a couple of years there's not that many people that move out of here or they're coming in i can't account for twenty six thousand registrations you know and it doesn't take like i told you before it doesn't take that much to move an election You get you get two thousand, three thousand registrations that you vote on and nobody can verify or they don't have enough people or enough time or enough money to verify it. And nobody will listen to them. You can't take it to anybody to get it fixed. And people, they go home and they watch Netflix, you know, they go to their baseball game, you know, and then they say, well, twenty twenty is a long time ago. No, twenty twenty is not. It's not a long time ago. If you can cheat in twenty twenty, you can cheat in twenty two. You can cheat in twenty four. You can cheat in twenty six. You laid the foundation for more cheating. That's what they did. It wasn't that it does matter because the policies and and the the laws and all of their pretended legislation increases the difficulty to fight them. right yes i mean if you if you if somebody murdered someone and said well you know they promised they're not going to do it again and blah blah blah what's the difference it's breaking it's a it's a it's a crime so what's that let them up though because it's racist to have them in prison it's racist we we can't we can't pity the poor fill in the blank right sorry that is one of the most low iq arguments i could possibly think of you know go back to the did they break the freaking law right they broke the law they're guilty i don't care if they're purple i don't care if people are are polka dot i could care less how they celebrate the holidays they got the right to do that it doesn't matter right did they break the law right It's like the gay lobby, okay? Back in the seventies, sixties or seventies, they were all complaining. Oh, you have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to find a cure for AIDS. Okay. Why? You know, if I was an atheist, I would say, screw it. You did bad stuff and you get consequences, but we're not. We still got the remnants of a Christian civilization here. And people realize the compassion And helping people that have, you know. And a lot of those people, it was no fault of their own. The hemophiliacs and some other people, okay. Or the people, you know. And so we did it. We spent millions and millions and millions of dollars. You don't hear about the AIDS epidemic anymore. It's pharmaceuticals they're selling for huge amounts of money. So I understand that Magic Johnson is still alive. Okay. So, but do they appreciate that? no okay so i came to the point as a christian okay well you know god lets people do whatever they want and eventually they're going to stand before him and he's going to tell him what the story is you know did you do the right thing are you going to get in what's you know you can do whatever you want in your life jesus will let you do that he doesn't want you to He wants you to change. He wants you to enjoy a better life than you're living right now. But if you don't want to do that, it's okay. We'll let you do that. So I'm good with that. You know, people got to make their decisions and there's going to be consequences to those things. But when it comes to public life, what I have problem is with the activists. Oh, yeah. Tell me that I have to believe and I have to feel a certain way. sorry, this is America, and they don't understand the definition of liberty. But on the other hand, the government has to do what they're supposed to do. And if you're a partisan and you get into a nonpartisan role, you don't act as a nonpartisan. You know, our county clerk's website says that they're there to serve all the people and listen to everybody in the county and to make everything good. and unicorn you know eyelashes and you know lovey-dovey and hearts everywhere and we're nice now but we're not doing that because anybody that says that there's something wrong all of a sudden is a leper and they want to pass the leprosy story around to everyone they can so when somebody like you or i get on media or whatever Destroy them is what they go to. And Greg Gutfeld is a really gutter person, but he explains it pretty well when they say it's an emotion-based politics. And what you have to do is if you dub somebody as being evil, then you have a reason to hate them. If you hate them, then not only do you not have to listen to them, but crazy people can go out and do things to you, and they're okay with that. Because they can get rid of you. You know, Mao Zedong used to do that all the time. You get rid of all your opposition and then you are a glorious leader and everybody loves you. Well, they love you because they're going to come and get you if you don't love them. And Kim Jong-il, I think, has taken that to the point of perfection. And also that point of perfection has actually destroyed his nation at the same time. So, you know, these things can be turned around, right? When enough, and you say this, when enough people decide that they've had enough, they're not going to do this anymore. And I pray that people will not vote Benson into office because she smiles like Mondami. but she doesn't listen or do anything to do her job for at least half the electorate. She's probably acting on behalf of twenty percent of the electorate. Who are probably being paid by the government. She's being paid by somebody. There you go. Hard to tell. Or she's doing it for the promise of the future, the future thing that she's got going on. She sure has woken a lot of people up, though, because of her threats and coercion. You know, when she came on and said, if you question the elections, I'm coming after you. Why wasn't she thrown in jail at that moment for threatening Americans? Somebody needs to answer that for me because I don't get it. I want to bring one thing up before you go, is that when you talked about them having a list that they go around and put little flags on properties so that they can talk to those Doesn't that, like, creep you out? That means right there that surveillance of how we vote, what we think, our opinions. And I've seen some of the spreadsheets on what they keep on voters. It is frightening. It is a frightening amount. Oh, yeah. You can see how they voted on each issue. They can see how many pets are in the house. You can see. what their interests are. You can see what they voted in other elections. You can buy that. And the Republicans and Democrats use that to target people in the elections. But the amount of information they have is shocking and disturbing. Right. Yeah, and this is how they win elections because what you do is every precinct in the entire state that information goes in and they do a vote. How is this vote going to come out? And they can tell which precincts are right on the edge of going one way or the other. And those are the ones that they cheat on. They can tell where they need five hundred votes, three hundred votes, a thousand votes, and they can move the election any way they want. Right. I've actually heard people in meetings that have started efforts where they go around their local areas and they see which signs are in the yard and they make a note of that with the address so that they can basically peg you in the issues because of the political signs you put in your yard. And they use that in their math. It's like what you do, what you buy. If you get into open source intelligence, OSINT, you can see what kind of toilet paper people buy. You can see anything that they've done on Amazon or Walmart or anything like that. It is disturbing the amount of surveillance that. has been tolerated and is going on every single minute. I always tell them, you know, the people surveilling, I'm like, screw you go ahead. You know, we're still going to beat you no matter what you do. And you're just, you're just condemning yourself with every unconstitutional act key. You're just building up the case on why we have to make some of these structural changes that have to happen. Well, I appreciate you saying, I'm guessing that honey is there right now. So. She just walked in. She was showing me some of the stuff she just picked out of our garden. So that's cool. Yeah. Hi honey. I hope you're having a great time in the garden. She is. We're going to go out there and do some more weeding. We're going to put down some filter cloth to keep the weeds from coming back. So yeah, we're getting lots and lots of cucumbers and tomatoes and I was starting to get good radishes now and things. I love that. I love fresh stuff out of the garden. It's fantastic. Well, you have a great day today. Thanks for coming on. And I think Stephanie Scott's going to come on again. I talked to her a little bit by text last night, so that'll be good. But let's talk about when we can have you back on again, because I really do think that we need to hammer this election integrity thing until we get the kinks pounded out. Because this is the reason why we have all the problems we have, because we don't have elections. We don't have an election, and all of them have committed. I don't even like to go to fraud because it's hard to prove, but we sure can prove maladministration, malfeasance, et cetera. We can prove maladministration very quickly. So that's what we hang them on right there. And then after that, we can go to crimes against humanity and treason because we are at war. The long-term game is you have to keep showing that there's poor governance. And then the people that are in those positions have to be voted out. And you have to have some competent people run for these offices who are not going to be told by the party or whatever what they're going to do. And I pray to God that Ferlini is as nonpartisan as I think he might be. He's not. He was in with Stan Grott. So every candidate, he's a nice guy. He was my neighbor in college. He's a very nice person. But he could have righted the last election, and he chose not to. I got a problem with it. I got a problem with all the uniparty candidates, all of them. John James, he could have challenged, he should have challenged the other election. He didn't. He walked away. Because he's playing ball with the Uniparty. Jada Boyer, you want to read a damning post, you read the one that came out by Michael Zoran in St. Clair County. That's one of the most damning posts I have ever read. Really? Yeah, if you're voting for someone in the Republican or Democrat party, you're voting to continue the corruption. They will not let you get on that ballot for them unless you have kissed the ring, and I have heard that from people. You are going to have to play ball with the criminality, or you will never make it on in those two parties. That's why it's so important to break the programming and go into – another option. And quite honestly, the only party out there, and I'm not a party person, it's just a weapon we have to win, or for change. The only way to win is to vote for a non-establishment candidate. And that means you got to get off the Republican and Democrat uniparty because they're playing ball together. Why haven't the Republicans absolutely gone after Benson for presiding over her own election. Nothing. Crickets. Why did they nominate DeBoer? Listen to what he's done. Listen to what James has done. You're going to get the same thing. And don't come crying to me when you, you know, I'm not saying it to you. I'm saying to everybody, don't come crying to me because of your poor choices, because the options are out there. The question is, is do you have the courage to do the right thing? Or do you have to stay in the little criminal cult? Because that's the only reason to do it. So, but anyhow, thanks for being on today, Chris. I love you on today. And I like the new and improved Chris Kyle. Thanks. Yeah. I very much like the new and improved Chris Kyla, who's a little bit pissed off and is ready to fight. Well, now we've got plenty of stuff to be pissed off about, so there you go. I think we always had. But perhaps that's just me. Who knows? But thanks for coming on. Let's talk later about how to get you back on and get Chris Darzynski on here in a minute. And you have a great day. Say hi to Honey and enjoy your garden. I will. I will. Well, have a good day. Thanks. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Okay, I'm gonna go right now and we're gonna do a quick break and I'm gonna call my friend Chris and bring him on here. Good morning and welcome to the second hour of Brandenburg News Network. I am Donna Brandenburg. It's the eighteenth day of August twenty twenty six. And welcome to our show. And I've got our buddy, Chris Dardzynski. And let me see if I can bring his his website up here a minute. And I think I can do this very fairly quickly, better than yesterday. But let's see what happens here, because I really think everybody needs to listen to Chris because he's got not only a plan, He absolutely knows what's going on here from, oh, this is our Meet the Candidate screen. And let me see if we can bring, oh, there's Chris. So there you go. I think I did it right this time. Let's see. Ta-da, there you are, Chris, up on the screen. So I'm going to take a real quick break for a second here, get a little more coffee and such. And then if you want to start talking to people, you're absolutely, I don't even have to talk when Chris is on because Chris has got such a good plan. So that's what we're going to do. Chris is going to talk to you. I'm going to get some coffee and I'll be back in the seat in just a minute. Okay, I can start everybody. So as I alluded to yesterday, I wanted to begin with the Census Bureau in this entire process as to how we go about the census. Actually, in the little additional time I had since yesterday, I reviewed again the language of Article One. Section two, clause three, and the counting of people in the several states so that the apportionment of representatives that would be given to states and the taxation process. And of course, this was amended under the Fourteenth Amendment. And so now, since the Fourteenth Amendment, we do a count of all the people. But that's not even remotely close to what happens. We don't count the people. We count the number of windows. We count if they are half Pacific Islanders, half African American. We do all these ridiculous things that are nowhere near within enumerated powers granted to the government. So let's strip all of that away. and get right back to the Constitution where we belong. Every ten years, the Congress shall take a full count of the people, and that is their charge, and this is done in the zero year. So when I came to the Census Bureau in my review of the federal government two years ago and how we should go about downsizing and all that, I said, okay, so for roughly nine years, we don't need a Census Bureau at all. And then it occurs to me that what needs to happen under the Constitution is Congress shall appoint a census administrator to oversee everything that needs to happen. I would submit that we have all the infrastructure, more than enough infrastructure within the federal government that we don't even need to hire anybody outside of appointing an administrator. And honestly, between the infrastructure of the post office and the databases of the Treasury Department, we have everything we need. So if I were Congress, I would appoint the Postmaster General of the United States Postal Service as overall... administrator of the census and then of course that person would probably go ahead immediately and appoint a daily operations person. So plenty of space. What we need to do here is just count. So this should be done on, this should all, this process, the appointment process should start on January first of the zero year. And then by April first, because that's the current calendar that we use for when people have to turn in when the mailings are sent out and then the mailings come back in. So a simple postcard that gets these postcards get distributed by the post office. Very simple. to every residential address. And with the database that the Treasury Department has, and even the databases that the Post Office has, they should clearly have every single residential address, plus the institutional knowledge of the Post Office of knowing every single residential address in every city, township, village, and territory. This just becomes almost an adage academic exercise in how to go about counting. So a simple postcard that gets mailed out in an envelope, and I would have them mailed out in March when in general, that's when the weather is the best throughout most of America. Oh, and just for everybody's edification, my dad was a mailman for forty years, so I have a certain amount of institutional knowledge as to how the post office operates. That's what kind of gave me an insight into how to go about this easily. I'm back, Chris. Robert is also was a postal carrier. So our lieutenant governor candidate, and he has brought out so much about the post office. And that's really good knowledge to have because it's communication. yeah and um so i um as i was um as i was um saying i would then this all becomes a very academic thing where where you have several months to set up the postcard goes out to each residential address and it asks the one question that congress is allowed to ask under the constitution how many people reside at this address you get a month to mail them back in okay they start coming in and then um you know i am kind of a mathematics nerd but this is very simple outside of appointing the um a census administrator honestly i um the current census has four thousand two hundred and eighty five employees and their current budget is one point five seventy billion dollars for fiscal year two thousand twenty five that's on my um that's on my department consolidation page under policy recommendation for downsizing number twenty four so but like i said um every nine years you don't even need a census girl so so these things start coming in and and and it's an easy enough structure to sit up there's there's a deputy administrator for each individual state and then according to the general population um that administrator is assigned a certain number of people to do counting we have plenty we have plenty of room to have this all all these things come back to one central location and yes we can do hand counting on this You are assigned to a state. I would think that this would be a great assignment for people that are maybe on their first year of probationary period of working in the federal government. People are transferred. First, we ask for volunteers. Who wants to volunteer to work for the census that currently works for the federal government? And we're looking for people with strong math counting skills. And honestly, that's an IQ of a hundred. We're talking about people being able to count from one to a hundred because that's exactly the way we do it. These postcards come in, you're working your zip code or your district or your region within the state. These postcards come in. As soon as you hit a hundred or ninety-nine, a hundred, one, a hundred and three, they get they get put into a sleeve, one hundred, and then those batches make a thousand, and then those batches make ten thousand. So you count through all of May, and then by June first, however, I put out a time calendar on this, after a couple months, then you start sending out the field people, That obviously you're going to have harder times with nursing homes and with homeless shelters, so forth and so on. And then the individual residents that you have to go to. But I really want to hone in on this one thing. Under the Constitution, Congress has the authority to count the full number of people in America so they can do apportionment amongst the states as to how many congressional districts there's going to be and the apportionment of taxation. So this is very academic. What we do now is ridiculous. And I've got a great census story. My wonderful friend, Polly, who just passed away a couple months ago, she worked for the census in two thousand and she worked for it again in two thousand ten. In two thousand ten, she was an office manager. I met her in two thousand nine, so we were pretty good friends by the time she was doing the two thousand ten census. And one summer, I think it was August of two thousand ten, she threw a house party. So Polly has friends from all over the spectrum. So she invites a bunch of young people from the census office to come over and hang out, you know, and everything. So nice young people. And Donna, as God is my witness and as God is my savior, you know they're young people so it's a saturday night what are they doing complaining about their work week i mean you know pre-centered stuff so i'm i'm sitting with with my friends over with polly and and uh but i'm listening to them over by the sidewalk i'm smoking cigarettes and talking and and this is literally what they were saying to each other i am i am not i'm not dramatic dramatizing this at all they were saying um Oh, I saw you got transferred to work at one neighborhood. Yeah, it's more walking, but it's a little easier overall. Can you believe this process? Oh my God. It's like, let's find the most complicated process in the world for telling people and then double it. This is literally what these young people are saying. And I mean, because they have no idea who I am. They just know I'm a friend of Polly's. But I'm just sitting there chuckling. It's like, yep, sounds like the federal government at work. So honestly, the last census, oh, by the way, the two thousand twenty census was budgeted at fifteen point five billion dollars. And we came in on the budget. It was like thirteen point seven five billion dollars to the cost. So congratulations. We said we spent less than we thought on that. But these are insane amounts of money. And honestly, when you're calling in batches of one hundred up to a thousand and then you have auditors checking all this stuff. If you're going above three thousand people with employees that you would shift over temporarily for one year or six month assignments or three months assignments, however you want to rotate them and all that. And most of the field work, I mean, this could all be done by temporary postal employees and treasury people. So that's how we get that honed all the way back down. The American Community Survey, which is, I did a little research while I was waiting for your call. The American Community Survey, if anybody's ever seen this, which is done by the census, it replaced the census long form. And so this is something that goes out every year. I received one back a few years ago when they do it periodically in the odd number. number of years and halfway through the decade and like that. It's incredibly invasive. I remember Polly gave me a hard copy of one back in two thousand ten. And I and I remember just thumbing through it. I was like, this is all very invasive into people's privacy. And none of it is constitutionally allowed. But, you know, there it is. The census is doing this stuff. So so in a nutshell, that's that's how I would go about the census and save us billions of dollars, literally. Well, that's, that's interesting because, um, here, here's a question and I've got lots of questions, you know, like I always do when, when we're, when we're talking about things, my one, my one question or the one that comes to mind is, could you have, instead of having, uh, interns count by one hundreds, could you do it like a bank process? And you know how the bank has the calibrated machines to count currency and, uh, put both the census as well, the county census and such, as well as the same thing should happen to the ballots for our elections. Could you put that and treat it sort of more like a currency? And then that way, if there's any funny business that can be prosecuted under higher crimes, and then that's number one. And number two, could you do it, you know, when you go into the bank and you give them, they count on a stack of cash for you, or if you're bringing some cash up through the machines, they always do it through the machines anymore. And because I think that it eliminates human error, would that be something that would be useful to the people counting? Yes, excellent, excellent. See, this is how we refine the process and make it better here and make it better. I, you know, I got up, I, you know, I'm an economics guy. those counting machines at the bank. I want to own one someday. I do, too. I just want to look at it, right? I want to play with it like Monopoly. Exactly. Exactly. Just like playing with Lincoln Logs. Right? That's how cool I think it is. And, I mean, I can tell. I mean, they are incredibly accurate. So, yeah. And they're very simple to use. So, Yeah, let's do this. There, we just refined the process and we just, we probably just eliminated, I don't know, eighty, ninety percent of labor that's needed right there. Yeah. And probably ninety-five, ninety-nine percent of possible human error and malfeasance right there. That's a week. Just by using those machines. Well, and I think, I think that. I'm on board. Bravo. Let's do it. Awesome. I love it because I love your ideas and such. And so I think that this is the other thing that within our party, this is what we do. We talk back and forth. We listen. And then sometimes take a little time and sometimes just like, well, what about this? It's not on my way or the highway. That's what I love about working with you and everybody else. When we look for the solutions, it's a it's a it's a team effort and it's fantastic. Everybody, you just saw and heard live our refinement process inside USTPM. This is literally how our state central committees go. And sometimes after eight or nine people are involved, it might take us a half hour or forty-five minutes to get there on something. But when we're there, we're there and we have a much better product than the already very good product that we started off with. So this is exactly how it works. But yeah, that's exactly how the census should work. And nine out of ten years, the appropriations for the Census Bureau should be zero. There should be no line item at all. And again, I think if people knew that, well, now they do know that even in the off years, we're spending one point five billion dollars on a Census Bureau. Why are we doing this? That you don't even need to have employed at all. Yep. I love it. This is what we need to be doing on every issue is the cost cutting. and do a cost-benefit analysis on it to see what we're really getting. This is going to lead me to something else. It's cost-benefit, but I don't know if you want me to get off subject right now or just take a rabbit trail and come back to it. Yeah, I'm going to jump into another point, but go ahead. I'm all ears. Well, I am a complete believer in the fact that we need to do more of this online, like talking. So the same thing with why I started the Friday night meet the candidate Zoom was because people are getting asked to take an hour, two hours out of their life just to travel to a lot of these meetings, let alone show up and have them begging for money, this, that, and the other thing. Why are we continuing to support this political industrial complex? So I think it needs to be more online. And I really think as governor, what I would very much like to do is stop the travel. I act really want to serve in L there. But do you realize security person that is t the governor as they're mo around or whatever else, I want you to think about that and how many people are on security. I haven't checked it out yet, but I want to know how many people are on security and they're not even going to tell you because they're not going to part of them are going to be kind of secret type things. And so my point is, is it's a lot easier to defend a position if they're if you're not moving around and or if you decentralize the pack and have them go home to their to their home districts. instead of having everybody followed around by all of the security all the time. A lot of this stuff, whether it be a political meeting or anything else, can be done over Zoom. It can be online and we can have better access. We don't have to go to these big galas. We don't have to go to these big money situations. We literally could stay home and talk to each other just as easy as this and have real conversations. And sometimes if we can get together, that would be great. I'm not saying eliminate it, I'm saying shift it. Because by shifting our processes, we can save so much money and give better access and better ability to self-govern than what we have right now. Right now, we don't have any of that. Yeah, I'll even jump on your tangent and take a further tangent on it. Process improvement, keep going. Think about the security detail that has to protect the governor's mansion. And why do we have a governor's mansion? I don't know. It's supposed to be the people's house. And it's like, I said from the beginning, you know what needed to be done to the governor's mansion, Chris? No, I got a better plan for it, actually. It's not terrible, okay? But I'm going to process what you said. But what I said at the beginning is what we should do is open that up for people who are receiving honors for exemplary service in the civilian sector and have them come there and, you know, be able to stay there, be able to get an honor for what they've done, be able to be, this is the people's house. This is not the governor's house. It should be used for the people. And I think it'd be a great thing to be able to honor people who have exemplary service and give them the recognition that they deserve. We do it in the military all the time. And you do it in companies like Bonasys. This is like if you perform extraordinary acts of bravery and or service to just like we do in the military, we should do it in the civilian sector and let people there go there who need to be honored for what they've done. It's a far better idea than having the governor live there as a second residence. It's dumb. They need to go home. Since we're talking about houses and homes and that, I think this goes right good to get into Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, two of my least favorite government agencies. Yeah. Which is why, you know, I give kudos to the Trump administration, whoever was in the administration who I heard in the news about six months ago that they were discussing that we need to sell off Freddie May and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. I thought, oh. Did they actually review my one hundred twenty five policy recommendations? I was cheering at the radio and I was like, well, this is great. So for everybody out there who doesn't, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are are basically secondary mortgage holding financial institutions that the government administrates. They do not buy up and administrate individual mortgages, but these are mortgage backed securities for the most part. And a lot of it has to do with the secondary mortgage market. So anybody out there, if you can just pull out your constitution and show me where in the constitution that the federal government has the authority to have a Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae mortgage holding and mortgage backed securities corporations, just point to where it is in the constitution. It's not there. if you can find it in the constitution i'll give you my amazing spider-man number one thirty nine okay so so in near mint condition it's about a nine point four nine point six for all you comic collectors out there so but um yeah um i was actually a really smart friend of mine stephen who um who I hang out with occasionally, and he's invested in the stock market for over fifty years. I mean, I'm the economics guy, and when we talk, he's the finance guy. He understands that stock market world a thousand times better than I do. But we were talking about if there was ever a perfect time to have sold off Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as government assets, it would have been right in two thousand nine, right after the subprime mortgage loan crisis started the entire Great Recession. So now I hope whoever it was in the Trump administration, Donna, I wish I could remember who it was that brought up the idea. I hope they're working on it. And I'm going to keep on sending emails and leaving voicemails on it because these two assets need to be sold off to the private banking and private institution sector. And I would sell it off by cost. This removes so much liability off the books of the federal government, besides the fact that there's nowhere in the Constitution to say that they have the authority to have these institutions. That's my number two point to wrap up today's interview and other three things that I wanted to cover. We're not supposed to be doing these things. The federal government does not have the authority. And again, folks, this wasn't Chris being upset and saying, oh, I don't like that agency. No, I simply went according to enumerated powers under the Constitution. And I was like, well, no, these two assets need to be sold off. Well, this is extraordinary. The work you've done and the direction that you have in actual steps to getting rid of the corruption and the bloat in the government is extraordinary. And I really appreciate all the years that you had working for an international trade and being able to see things on the inside and really make a good analysis of what's going on and then coming up with some more solutions. I'd like to hear more. Somebody told me the other day, people just love you on the show. I have gotten nothing, but I can listen to this guy all day long. Seriously. That's nice because I think this has to be part of the vetting process for, I mean, this is how much we should vet candidates for the US House and for the US Senate. every every single candidate i mean if you could somehow do it on your show every candidate should come on across this entire nation and they should be able to talk at this level and articulate their ideas this as well and and give this much detail i uh i i think about um expect a lot there chris yeah this morning when i was walking around the neighborhood i i thought you know um Everything I talk about is our kitchen table issues. There's nothing that happens in America or around the world that does not affect your kitchen table and your bottom line and your monthly budget. Everything affects you nowadays. What's going on in Iran affects you. What's going on in Africa affects you. What's going on at the Panama Canal, it all affects you. Foreign policy, domestic policy, there's no divide. There may have been a time in America's history where you could say there was a dividing line. The world is integrated and the amount of layers within economics and within banking, all of this affects your kitchen table. It really does. So something kind of specific, kind of my last my last point I wanted to I wanted to finish up this interview with was it's called the African Continental Free Trade Agreement. Now, this is a little wonky because I spent thirty one years in international trade. This is a this is something that's been worked on in Africa for a very, very long time. There are fifty five nations on the continent and they've been working on this free trade agreement amongst the fifty five nations for over a decade. And so last night, I bought every six months, I check up on it and see where they are. And as of as of yesterday, when I when I searched around Forty-nine of the fifty-four original signatories have ratified the AFCA and have put those articles of instruments of ratification, as they're called, into the African Continental Union. So that free trade agreement is functioning across the continent of Africa. Nigeria is a country that is one that's kind of, I know several nations around the world that are like hobbies of mine. I have a lot riding on them. And obviously Nigeria is one of them. I have a lot of hope for Nigeria. They got a lot of work to do there, a lot of corruption still within the government, but they have some things that they're moving forward very nicely on. They have a pretty large stock market, so they are integrated that way. Anytime that you are bringing a lot of nations that have very different cultures together, that have some kind of common agreement that they can work on economically and through free trade, it benefits everybody. It does. And Nigeria specifically will benefit a lot from this free trade agreement to cover the entire continent. because of the amount of, they just built the largest oil refinery in the world in Nigeria and it's online now and they are beginning the technical talks and schismatic talks and engineering talks about a pipeline that will run from Nigeria through I think eleven or thirteen, someone count them for me, African nations along the western coast there and then of course across the Strait of Gibraltar and into probably Spain for petroleum to be exported properly and efficiently to Europe. Now this could transform the landscape of all those nations that have to work together on that pipeline And so I do encourage everybody to at least go around Wikipedia or Google and be familiar with the African Continental Free Trade Agreement because it is the one region in the world where there was not a free trade agreement, and now we have that. And this does benefit. open market systems. It benefits wealth creation for the individual. And that is your most effective and most efficient way to start eliminating poverty. And unfortunately, the African continent is where we have the largest concentration of poverty in the world. Well, I appreciate that you bring that information forward. It's so important to understand the, I don't know, to understand the systems that we're working with right now, and also look at the tangible, real solutions to it. And I think you do a great job. Well, thank you. Again, I don't expect every member of Congress, every candidate for Congress to be experts on any of these things that I talk about. But honestly, when you're making decisions at that level, the decisions you make in Congress affect the entire nation and do affect the entire world. So honestly, everybody, You should hold these candidates to an incredibly high standard because what we got now in Congress as an institution is, Donna, it's an embarrassment. It is an embarrassment. I'm not picking on any one person. The institution itself is an embarrassment. I'm not picking on Republicans or Democrats. The entire thing is an embarrassment. I look at it as a legislative body and I think, my God, what is this? It's a show. It's absolutely just a show. And it's not a good one either. So like as you said, it's an embarrassment. And I don't know how anybody can take any of these people seriously. So I stand together and asking for every one of them to resign because they have done nothing but steal with the people. You know, unconditional surrender, resign because you're incompetent, you've broken the law and negotiating time is done. Negotiating time is done. And honestly, I think the current number, oh, I just saw it a couple months ago, AIPAC, the American-Israeli Political Action Committee, which is just form-based and follows a lot of money to members of Congress across the board, Republicans and Democrats. I think I think it's three hundred twelve, three hundred thirty five, someone check my math, but there are three hundred plus members of Congress that have taken money from AIPAC alone, which is foreign money. You can't do that. It's against the law. You are acting as a foreign agent while being a public, a U.S. official and having fiduciary responsibility to the federal budget and to the U.S. government. cannot take foreign money. So three hundred three hundred twenty five of them should resign right now and honestly immediately call for their resignations. Absolutely. Absolutely. They should all resign right now. But so should anybody. They had a little finger in our elections because they're also run by foreign money. They're paying off the candidates and the candidates have become an agent of the corporations and the foreign money. We don't we don't have an American election. We don't have anything working right. It's maladministration. It's theft. It's corruption. It's systemic. It's pathetic. I've got a question for you because I'm not real happy about hearing merging United States with Israeli intelligence and military. That sounds like a substantial bad idea. Yeah, bad idea. I'm just saying it's a bad idea. Yeah, I would like to see the exact language on that. I know there's a lot of things that are standard as far as exercises that are done together, but anything that involves actual integration of um of um of of our u.s of u.s military with with with with any foreign military that's where we get into um that's where we get into some very very dark dark areas that um you know it's one thing to have a military base um um overseas that's that's one thing but actual integration of forces yeah i well there's a lot of parts about the national defense authorization act that i of them but like like i said like i said the other day i said there's the very first thing we need to do as far as israel oh yeah um put the economics head on so um israel has a gdp of seven hundred um plus i think it's seven hundred and thirteen billion dollars currently is their current gdp this is a wealthy first world nation And we give them three point six billion dollars in military assistance. It's almost a rounding error as far as as far as the GDP that they produce. And per capita, that works out for that works out to about seventy thousand dollars per capita for every for every person living in Israel. So this is a wealthy first world nation. They they do not need our foreign military assistance at all that they want. They want to buy our weapons. Fine. Great. You know, let's We'll issue the RFPs and we can do that as just a normal contracting of selling weapons. But no more foreign military assistance to Israel. Working together on desalination processes and normal foreign relations through the State Department, all good. Direct foreign military assistance and all that detailed language inside the NDAA about the integration of forces, a lot of concerns there. Not a good idea at all. Bad idea. It gets too complex as to... really is to always give any orders to individual military units that are on site. That gets very complicated. Yeah, we got a lot to talk about because this is really a problem. So at any rate, well, I tell you what you want to see the prayer again today. I love when you pray. Oh, yes, I would definitely say that again today. Okay. In the name of your Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, amen. Lord, allow us to continue as your servants, humbly, that we walk this path with you and recognize that you are the way. that we use our brains and our hearts and our souls and the talents that you have given us so that we properly serve you and that we serve our fellow man as was laid out in the Ten Commandments and in your holy name. Amen. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Hey, thank you. I appreciate that. So there's our Meet the Candidate Zoom on Fridays from seven to nine. Chris is on every week. I'm on there. so that we can actually talk to people. And it's actually a lot of fun. Last week, I did it from the Jackson County Fair. This week, I'm not sure where I'm going to be, but we'll be there. Join us. Join us. We want to answer. We're not like politicians. We answer questions directly. And we give detailed answers. Please ask questions. Join us. and tell us what you want i mean that's the other thing if you want us to if you want us to represent you then you've got to be talking to us so that we know and hear your ideas and what what you see is a problem because not one person can fix this it's got to be all of us together because it's sort of like it's sort of like uh you know looking at it from different perspectives you're going to see things differently and the things that i miss Somebody else out there is going to figure it out and they're going to say, oh, Brandenburg, did you think about this? I'm like, no, I didn't because I don't have your vantage point. And Chris might and somebody else might, but educate me and everybody else so that we can represent you. You can't just go in and expect somebody to know everything and be Jesus Christ walking in the room, right? We're people and we're people that were dumb enough to step forward and run for office. Not really dumb enough. We're brave enough. We're the ones that are saying enough. We've had it. I'm sick of watching people being hurt and stolen from. I'm sick of watching all of this criminality. We can't do this anymore. And I've refused to let my kids fight the battle. that I am well equipped to fight. I'm not going to leave it to somebody else. And Donna, if none of us know the answer to a question, we'll let you know that, hey, you know what? I really don't know, but I guess I've got something now to work on that I didn't know. We'll tell you. Yeah. We're going to look for people who do know, and we're going to fire up the information machine here until we get to what the problem is, Doc, and some plausible solutions that we can chase down. So with that said, guys, let's see. We've got to get the right hand here. Ding, ding, ding, ding. Go to BrandonBurfordGovernor.com because I'm the best not-to-see-to-ever, not-to-see-to-ever in the history of the United States of America. I'd like to have a discussion with the rightful president of the United States, President Donald J. Trump. I'll wear my boots. I'll wear them better because I wear them every day. And then once we're past that silly little competition. We'll sit down and actually solve things. Hopefully Chris will be in the room with us. It'll be fantastic. And we'll fire hose them with questions as well as compliments. Thank you for serving. and for stepping up and helping us because I don't know many people that would have done it. I really don't. We were having a meeting last night. Oh, Chris checked out. I was having a meeting last night, and the reality is that very few people will step up to solve a problem, but everybody's got an opinion. It's amazing. Everybody's got an opinion, but very few are willing to step forward and actually do the work, which is really a shame. It is honestly a lack of having courage and integrity. And everybody can give me the excuse, oh, I'm so busy. Hold my beer. You want to see busy. It's incredible how busy I am and the people that around me are, because we're not doing one job. We're doing a ton of jobs. We never stop. And it's an honor to do that. But it'd be great if more people would step up. So with that said, And you can join us tomorrow. I'll be on tomorrow with, I believe, John Balance and Robert Cowper. And we'll see who else shows up tomorrow. We may have more than that. But at any rate, God bless you all. God bless all those whom you love. And God bless America. Make it a great day. Look for things that are problems. Look for things that you can serve in. The things that we can do to help each other out. Look for those things. And it'll be a great day any day, every day. Serve in God Almighty. And... It's not about winning or losing at that point. It's that you stepped up and you did something. That's a win right there. So we'll see you tomorrow. Have a great day.
