1 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: Welcome to the lands. Well now show covering live the 2 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 1: things that are happening. I was going to tell you 3 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: I got Mercedes Sparks are in the studio today and 4 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: she's all orange E and you're red. This is red. 5 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: It's red. You can't tell. Oh, dear lord, it's happening 6 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 1: to me as I age, how many of you think 7 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: that's orange versus red? 8 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 2: This is like fire engine red. It's it's giving little 9 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 2: red riding hood. Can't tell Carl, Okay, Carl's is red? 10 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: Alrighty well, I stand. 11 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 2: How then we got that out of the way. 12 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: Anyway, while we're while we're talking about red, let's talk 13 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: about how the Marxists have infiltrated virtually every part of 14 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: American culture. I don't know if we realize the extent 15 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: to which we've had this invasion that has taken place, 16 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: because it's it looks different than you think. It's a 17 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: cultural invasion. It's and atomizing of the values that create 18 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: a cohesive nation, and it tears them apart. Now give 19 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: me an example I'm talking about We're going to be 20 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: doing an interview in a minute live as a couple 21 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: of Christian friends of ours that have we've done programs together, 22 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: They've been on our show, They've been having worship and 23 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: prayer for America, going around different key cities, and sure enough, 24 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: the devil doesn't like it when Christians actually show up, 25 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: and they went to Seattle, and as a result going 26 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: to Seattle, they end up having of course, the stronghold 27 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: of Antifa can smell out where the Christians are peacefully 28 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: in a park somewhere worshiping and show up organized in 29 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: mass with I hate to say it for you, you know, 30 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: nice decent folk, but I mean they have condoms filled 31 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: with urine turned into little bomb grenade that they threw 32 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: at the Christians that were there. They had people with 33 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: knives at the throat of people performing sexual acts on 34 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: the lawn in front of the children so as to 35 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 1: traumatize the kids. You're talking about depravity at a level 36 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: where I'm not even sure if Sodom had that that 37 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: going on, but you got it going on in Seattle, 38 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: now it would be so bad. There was a sense 39 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: of impropriety or a sense of well, we really shouldn't 40 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: have that. But the mayor has come out attacking the 41 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: Christians as a far right provocative movement, not affirming the 42 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: values of Seattle. The Seattle mayor blames Christian rally for 43 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: inspiring violent anarchists. In other words, the Christians are responsible 44 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: for making Antifa mad, and they infiltrated an accounter protests. 45 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: Twenty three people were arrested, and the mayor, like I said, 46 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: the mayor has come out and then he goes victim. 47 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: He says, they're just after he blames the Christians for, 48 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: you know, stirring up attacks on the police. He goes 49 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: on to say when he's called out on that, that 50 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: I'm just being attacked because I'm biracial. In other words, 51 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,399 Speaker 1: he goes right away victim on that. The reason why 52 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: this strikes me is profound is one of the pastors 53 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: that's calling this what is he calling this? The rattle 54 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 1: in Seattle, Pastor Russell Johnson, he said something so profound. 55 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: I was in a meeting with him. He said, you, 56 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: most pastors don't get. What Christians don't get, what the nervous, 57 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: you know, conservative doesn't get, is that the culture war. 58 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: Now catch us. The culture war is the proxy war 59 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: between heaven and Hell. So you all know what a 60 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: proxy war is. Then we all got educated when Hamas 61 00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: and Hezbollah are killing Jews. They're being funded by Iran. 62 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: Iran has these two terrorist groups hitting at the Jews 63 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: in Israel. These groups are funded, directed, organized, backed, and 64 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: coordinated by Iran. So therefore they are a proxy. They're 65 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: acting on. Behalf of what Russell Johnson is saying is 66 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: Antifa the radical gender theory, trans trans people. They are 67 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: the front lines of what the enemy is using in 68 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: the proxy war to tear down into Great American culture. Therefore, 69 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: follow me on this. If you're involved with spiritual warfare, 70 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,239 Speaker 1: the invisible elements, at some point you're going to show 71 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: up at the front lines of the proxy war because 72 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: that's where it manifests in people. So the apostle Paul 73 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: goes into a city and he's just guilty of praying 74 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: and preaching the word of God. Now the Antifa crowd 75 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: who you quoted, and you you quote this verse that 76 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: there were certain lewed fellows of the Baser sword as 77 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: the King James language hired. Somebody funds these groups, Somebody 78 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: is investing in these proxies. BLM had a budget, Antifa 79 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: had money, and nobody ever, for the life of me, 80 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,559 Speaker 1: it's a fascinating subject. Our whole bench is our people 81 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: right now in DC, Nobody ever peels back the layers 82 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: to say, what's where's the check coming from? Who's printing 83 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: all those posters that look so similar? And where is 84 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: the artery that is feeding the anarchy? Peaceful protest, loud 85 00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: vocal protests, that's your right. But beating up police, put 86 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: them in the hospital, and attacking citizens who are Christians 87 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: because they're Christians is a crime. So these guys are 88 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: taking that on. And the skewed statement from the Seattle mayor, 89 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: we're standing with our trans neighbors when they faced bigotry 90 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: and injustice. There was no injustice in bigotry. Christians were 91 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: being attacked. That was the bigotry and injustice. He calls 92 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: it a far right rally. Is it far right? Really? 93 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: Is reading the Bible or singing in public worship song? 94 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: Is that far right? So Seattle represents where we were 95 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: five years ago, and they're locked in a time work 96 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: because unfortunately they gave up so much ground to the 97 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: devil that the proxies are occupying city Hall. And I 98 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: commend the courage of a mom, a mama bear, Jenny Donnelley, 99 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: who went in there, and I commend the Courage also 100 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: of Russell Johnson as a pastor who leads pursued church 101 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: that does outdoor worship gatherings all across America, along with 102 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: Ross Johnson, who's whose parents where we had him speak 103 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: for us in Pittsburgh and his story is interesting. What's 104 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: his background? 105 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: Well, he had two he was adopted and two les 106 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 2: I think he was adopted. 107 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: Maybe they can correct me. Had had two lesbian moms. 108 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 2: Well, they could have gotten pregnant. And then that's why 109 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 2: I was thinking. I was like, wait, I might be wrong, 110 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 2: but he definitely had two lesbian moms and he ended 111 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: up getting saved. And so now he's a radical evangelist 112 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: for Jesus and just telling people the truth of God's 113 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 2: way of doing things, the Kingdom way of doing things, 114 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: which is, you know, sexual purity, marriage is soon one 115 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 2: man and one woman. And so that alternative narrative along 116 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,119 Speaker 2: with Jenny saying, you know what, I have all tendant 117 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 2: autonomy to run my house, that the state doesn't run 118 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 2: my house. Don't talk to my kids about their sexual 119 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 2: preference is or what they should be. And maybe you're 120 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 2: really a duck in a human body, or you know, 121 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 2: whatever they're telling kids these days saying no, that is 122 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 2: my sphere of influence, not yours. That that is so 123 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 2: radical that to incite such violence in Seattle. 124 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: Well, I you know, the interesting thing about Russell Johnson 125 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: is that he has a political background. He actually ran 126 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: for state legislative office for states. So I particularly love 127 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: people that have political chops because those are the best 128 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: reformer preachers in the world, because they understand the government system, 129 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: and they understand where the lines are and how the 130 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: powers work. So when they go into a pulpit, they 131 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: actually can peel back the layers of the onions so 132 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: much more easily. So he wrote regarding the rattle in Seattle, 133 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: a protest that they have planned going on. This will 134 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: have happened while you guys are watching this. They're doing 135 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: their work right now. But he wrote, what I think 136 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: is only someone with political knowledge can really make this 137 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: statement he's making the way he's making it. He's saying, 138 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: we stand against the religious bigotry of Mayor Bruce Harrell 139 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 1: and the Seattle City Council. In a show of force, 140 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: hundreds are going to rally on the steps of Fourth 141 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: Street of the City of Seattle City Hall on Tuesday 142 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: evening and demand both an apology and a retraction from 143 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: Bruce Harrel for his disgusting comments aimed at bringing harm 144 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: to the faith community. If the mayor won't apologize, it's 145 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: time for him to resign. A disgrace a right. Following 146 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: the Mayday USA worship event at cal Anderson Park on Saturday, 147 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: Mayor Harrell had the audacity to issue a press release 148 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 1: blaming Christians for the premeditated violence of Antifa, which resulted 149 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: in the hospitalization of Seattle Police Department personnel and the 150 00:09:54,800 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: arrest of twenty three agitators. Here's what I want to say. 151 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 1: What Russell is saying is the mayor has aligned himself 152 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: with the most extreme, dysfunctional elements of depravity and destruction 153 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: embodied by Antifa and other radical groups, while understaffing with 154 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: intent and undermining the Seattle Police Department and their mission 155 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: to protect the residents. Seattle deserves better, the pastor says, 156 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: than a radical leftist who tramples on religious freedoms of 157 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: citizens while providing cover for violent extremists to abuse police officers, 158 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: attack Christians, and destroy the city. So they're calling right 159 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: now on the mayor to issue an apology or to 160 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: resign from office. You know this is going somewhere. You 161 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: got Fox News and other other major outlets, legacy news 162 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: outlets covering this, and the mayor is hiding behind the 163 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 1: victimization banners, saying the far right people came in and 164 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: created this problem, and now they're making me look bad 165 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:17,599 Speaker 1: because I'm biracial. I'm a victim also of Christian intolerance. 166 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: I wonder what the city of Seattle will do. I 167 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: wonder what the how the people people leave. My concern 168 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: is people leave California, they leave Seattle, and then what 169 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: happens is there's nobody left that has either the courage 170 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: or the conviction to say this isn't the way I 171 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: want my city to be. So I don't understand how 172 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: these guys constantly get in office. The motion in the 173 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:51,359 Speaker 1: United States is moving to the right. But this Seattle 174 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: experiment is you know you've got Christians there, you know 175 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: you've got believers there. You know you've got normal Trump 176 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: supporters and common sense libertarians. But will this provoke any 177 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: kind of response? I gotta go after this. But what 178 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 1: do you think? What do you think you want to 179 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: predict what's going to happen? The galvanized. 180 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think I think there needs to 181 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 2: be a really clear exchange of different ideas and values 182 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 2: and to say, you know, your belief system is not 183 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 2: any more valid, is not any more enlightened than the 184 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 2: Christian within your community. And so as an elected official, 185 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 2: I mean, this is something the left loves to remind 186 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 2: us of. 187 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: But it's like you're. 188 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 2: Elected to represent all people, you know, not just your 189 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 2: woke ideology that has been to your point, shoved down 190 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 2: America's throat for years and voted out at a federal 191 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 2: level and really across many of the states. So this 192 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 2: is like a stronghold. This is a This is a 193 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 2: Seattle stronghold for just a different way of thinking. But 194 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 2: praise God, we live in a country where I'm happy 195 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 2: to see the police stood up for them, you know. 196 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 2: I mean there's some places you would go in this 197 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 2: nation you're going to be outspoken like that and police 198 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 2: turn a blind eyes. So it's nice to see Seattle 199 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 2: Police Department keeping everybody safe. 200 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: All right, Mercedes, it is a great thought. You know, 201 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be able to bring in We 202 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: got a live car camera setup going on.

We had several 255 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 5: arrests already made because of the violence that was happening 256 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 5: with several of the protesters. I think it's twenty two 257 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 5: three rests right now. 258 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: Well, you've got the mayor, I mean, made some incendiary, 259 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: crazy response and Russ's pastor Russell has already responded to that. 260 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: Let me just quote him. He says that he wants 261 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: to have a review of all circumstances of the application 262 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: to understand whether there were legal location alternatives or adjustments. 263 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: And a lot of this is in the face of 264 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: an extreme right wing national effort to attack our trans 265 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: lgbtwo t Q communities, and that has nothing at all 266 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: to do with your agenda. The last thing in the 267 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: world you're doing was over there attacking people's sensitivities. What's 268 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: tell me just what people know about this? What's the 269 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: purpose of your rallies? So that because there'll be much 270 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: interested in this going forth, your stated purpose is what. 271 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, So we are coming to these cities to pray, 272 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 5: to bless to worship, and to take a stand for 273 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 5: family in the next generary. We really believe that as 274 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 5: the family is restored, America will be healed. So we're 275 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 5: taking a stand for that, taking jumpmus with our kids. 276 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 4: To the streets of these cities. And that was the goal. 277 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,719 Speaker 5: That's been the goal in every city we've gone to, 278 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 5: and it's been beautiful up until this craziness in Seattle. 279 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 5: We've been you know, the mayor said, did you you know, 280 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 5: is it speculated that we actually came to provoke and 281 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 5: we inspired this violence. 282 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 4: Well, you know, not get into the weeds too much here. 283 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 5: But we actually requested hike place first, and over and 284 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 5: over and over again. 285 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 4: They sent us to another spot. We couldn't get. 286 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 5: A permit there, and we're kind of ping ponged around 287 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 5: until cal Anderson was a suggestion that they gave us, 288 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 5: and so we went to call Anderson. The police were 289 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 5: not notified until forty eight hours prior to the to 290 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 5: the event, and so I think there was a concern 291 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 5: there that they weren't even. 292 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 6: Notified about it. 293 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 4: Aster Russell said this morning on. 294 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 5: An interview, you know, nobody's asking Antifa for their you know, 295 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 5: where's your permit? 296 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:08,360 Speaker 6: Right? 297 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 5: Like, we actually created an area that we paid for 298 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 5: that we went to the per so that they could 299 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 5: be there, and no one's asking them you know, where's 300 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 5: your permit? You didn't pay for nothing. So I just 301 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 5: think it's super interesting and very very biased. And the 302 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 5: other thing that the mayor said, and are you losing 303 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 5: me through this tunnel? 304 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: You're fine right now, You're fine. I mean, I'm going 305 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: to read this for our audience where this is the 306 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: part that drives me crazy. The mayor says, we stand 307 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: with our trans neighbors when they face bigotry and injustice. 308 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,959 Speaker 1: You could tell that Jenny Donnelly is not not after people. 309 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: Today's far right rally was held for this very reason 310 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: to provoke a reaction by promoting beliefs that are inherently 311 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: opposed to our cities value. So I guess there's city's 312 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: value are against Christians, against God, against worship, against moms, 313 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: and against families. That's the only way I can read 314 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: into this is that they feel like your very existence 315 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: is an offense to their I wonder if Seattle, if 316 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: the best population of Seattle, is actually an agreement with 317 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 1: this mayor. At some point, there's going to have to 318 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 1: be I think the pastor here is calling for that. 319 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: There has to be some consequence when a mayor has 320 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: the audacity issue of release blaming Christians for a premeditated 321 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: violent attack from Antifa with their arrest of twenty three 322 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 1: Antifa agitators. As I understand it, none of you guys 323 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: were arrested. You weren't doing anything. 324 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 4: No, And I have to say this. 325 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 5: You know, I'm going to avoid language that would be 326 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 5: so offensive, but we're not talking about people that's holding 327 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 5: up offensive signs and whatever. Who cares like people come 328 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 5: and want to say they're according to the First Amendment, right, 329 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 5: do it. That's America. Thank god we have a place 330 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 5: where you can't have freedom of speech and gathering worship. 331 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 5: But Lance, I had to remove my kids from the 332 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 5: event and have them go back with it with a caretaker. 333 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 6: To the hotel. 334 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 5: There were people doing sexual acts on the lawn in front. 335 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 4: Of the kids. 336 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: Wow. 337 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 4: One of our youth. 338 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 5: At our church had a knife pulled on him. This 339 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 5: is a teenager and said, I'm going to rip your 340 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 5: throat out, Okay. Throwing balloons not with water in them, 341 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 5: but with urine in them. There was gas, tear gas, 342 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 5: there was our production guy got sprayed with pepper spray. 343 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 5: I mean, I could just go on and on, and 344 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 5: you know, I don't know what it's going to take 345 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 5: for the church to stand up and say this is enough. 346 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 5: You know, to keep our city officials accountable is not 347 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 5: like rebelling against the Word of God here, I mean, 348 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 5: to keep them accountable is so incredibly important. I know 349 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 5: as Christians we haven't been super active in that, but 350 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 5: I'm done. 351 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 4: On a personal level, I do not want to see 352 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 4: my kids. 353 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 5: Growing up in something where Christians can't fight for their 354 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 5: communities and fight for the rights of an American. So anyway, 355 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 5: we've just all hit a tolerance level that we're saying, no, Mayor, you're. 356 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 4: Not going to get away with this. 357 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 5: You're not going to write this stuff and you're either 358 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 5: going to publicly apologize, retract the statement, or you're going 359 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 5: to resign. 360 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 4: Do you have a couple of minutes? I love for Ross. 361 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 5: Johnston, and then if Pastor Russell wants to weigh in 362 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 5: on this, because they are bringing some incredible points. 363 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 4: To the table. So I'm going to go up and 364 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 4: find my camera angle here. 365 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 6: Well, hey, guys, I just want to add in here. 366 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 7: You know, I think what's really important to understand is, 367 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 7: after everything that we endured, within an hour of the event, 368 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 7: the mayor of Seattle. 369 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 6: Bruce Harold decided to release. 370 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 7: A statement where he actually chose the side of the protesters. 371 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 6: Those twenty three arrests, those who were. 372 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 7: Performing sexually lude acts in front of children, not to mention, 373 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 7: as Jenny shared, we're threatening many people at the gathering, 374 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 7: and so what's really important to understand? 375 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 6: And I said this a few days ago. 376 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 7: I think the mayor forgot that he was an elected 377 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 7: official in the United States of America. You know, he 378 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 7: said that our values were provocative and attacking that community 379 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 7: because they're inherently opposed to the to what Seattle believes. 380 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 7: And my question is what values is the mayor referring 381 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 7: to there? As Americans, as Christians, as the church. No 382 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 7: matter what background you come from, we are all protected 383 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 7: protected under the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And 384 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 7: so here we are, guys. We've been praying for revival 385 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 7: and reformation, and now we get to take a stand 386 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 7: at the Seattle City Hall believing that now truly is 387 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 7: the time for awakening in America. We aren't just praying 388 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 7: about it, we aren't just talking about it. We are 389 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 7: actually going to see it with our very own eyes. 390 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 7: We are not just dethroning principalities. We are dethroning politicians. 391 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 7: It is time for the Book of Acts church to 392 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 7: arise and what a's time to be alive in an 393 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 7: opportunity that we get to walk in today. 394 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 6: So thank you for everybody supporting us on this journey. 395 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, so well said. 396 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 5: Okay, Pastor Russell, And are you're back there type in away? 397 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 5: Do you have a comment that you'd like, Yeah, we're 398 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 5: on here.

You know, 419 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 2: the one thing I was going to get in there 420 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 2: after listening to Ross what I love about First Corinthians thirteen, 421 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 2: you know, talks about love and we always read it 422 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 2: at weddings, but there's this line in there that love 423 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 2: does not rejoice with the iniquity, but it rejoices with 424 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 2: the truth. And so when the Left tries to mischaracterize 425 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 2: what love is, love is unconditional acceptance. But love does 426 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 2: not rejoice with iniquity. It rejoices with truth. So we 427 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 2: speak truth and love, and that is what I love 428 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 2: about the Mayday events. You guys are the epitome of that, 429 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 2: and so we just thank you for being with us 430 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 2: today and doing the impromptu. 431 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: Live Yeah, we're we're calling out the religious bigotry of 432 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: Mayor Bruce Harrell and the city Seattle City Council.

And you know, Christians 436 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: get nervous at these things. But I can pretty much 437 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: assure you the mayor now knows he has a problem, 438 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: and the last thing he wants is further incidents outside 439 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: of his own domicile, his courthouse, so where they're holding business. 440 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 1: We will be back, Jenny. We're gonna be following you 441 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: later and checking in on you. None of us are 442 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: going to forget what a weird, dystopian, strange nuclear winter 443 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: we had after the twenty twenty elections scramble and Trump 444 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: flew back to mar A Lago. We have the January sixth, 445 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: you know, incident that happened in Washington. I was there 446 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 1: and suddenly watched it transform into something it wasn't, into 447 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: some kind of an attack upon democracy, which it never was. 448 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: And I don't want to forget those days because we 449 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: went all the way from there to Donald Trump being 450 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: back in the White House and the January sixth, people 451 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: that had spent so much time in prison. I don't 452 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: want to forget them. You know, We've got a Memorial 453 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 1: Day and behind us. But I want to remember the 454 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 1: people that have been in the spiritual war and have 455 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: been political prisoners, and I want to bring someone I've 456 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: been looking forward to interviewing for a while, John Strand, 457 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: onto the show today. John, Thank you for joining us. 458 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 3: Thank you for having me Lance. 459 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: All right, now, tell me for those of you that 460 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: don't for those my audiences that don't know the story 461 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: you're at January sixth, why were you there and give 462 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: us the quick version of what happened, because it'll give 463 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: context to folks that need to know you. 464 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 3: Sure. 465 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 8: So, I'm the creative director at America's Frontline Doctor's nonprofit 466 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 8: organization that was at the forefront of exposing the COVID 467 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,959 Speaker 8: propaganda and the lies at that time. So I was 468 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 8: acting my professional capacity doing my job that day. I 469 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 8: was scheduled to be there along with my colleague who's 470 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 8: the founder, and we were going to be part of 471 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 8: a group of folks speaking at a rally with a 472 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 8: government approved permit, and that also included numerous congress people 473 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 8: sitting Congressman that we're going to be speaking at that 474 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 8: event as well. So that's why I was there, and 475 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 8: I was looking for a speech looking for a stage. 476 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 8: We got caught in a crowd that eventually got flushed 477 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 8: inside of the building and so forth. 478 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 3: But that's, you know, that's why I was there. 479 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 8: I was not there to attack democracy, of course, I 480 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 8: was there to exercise First Amendment rights for those who 481 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 8: were also exercising that right in support of our democratic 482 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 8: rights to have our voices heard. 483 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: So how is it you ended up becoming a political prisoner? 484 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: What took place? 485 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 8: Well, as you mentioned, things were not honestly represented about 486 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 8: that day. I think the irony is that there actually 487 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 8: was an attack on democracy. That would have been the 488 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 8: rigged election of twenty twenty, which caused that protest to happen. 489 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 8: But because it was not accurately reported and honestly handled 490 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,479 Speaker 8: by many, I was indicted by the federal government. I 491 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 8: was violently rated by a FBI swat team arrest that 492 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 8: was fit for. 493 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 3: A Colombian drug cartel. 494 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 8: I was incredibly violent, fascist, to be frank and traumatic. 495 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 8: I was disappeared in jail for four days without a 496 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 8: phone call and no word to my family about where 497 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 8: I was till so they finally got a private investigator 498 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 8: to find out where I was and get me bailed. Out, 499 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 8: and then I was at war with the government for 500 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 8: the next two years until I was put into prison 501 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 8: because I, among other reasons, I refused a fraudulent plea deal. 502 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 8: Government coerced many, many J sixers into plea deals full 503 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 8: of lies in many ways, and I refused that plea deal, 504 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 8: which made my circumstance much more dire. 505 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: So, for instance, what were they saying you had to 506 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: confess to that you were there to fom end or 507 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: insurrection and attack the gut. 508 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 8: Essentially is essentially the statement of fact in the plea 509 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 8: deals for all J six ers. 510 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 3: It supported the government's version of events that day. 511 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 8: So they were saying that a large number of people 512 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 8: conspired ahead of time to overthrow the government and knew 513 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 8: in advance that the plaza was a restricted area and 514 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 8: that they were breaking the law by being there. I mean, 515 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 8: all of these things are false, and honestly they are ludicrous, 516 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 8: but that is the statement of fact that the plea 517 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 8: deal sets forth. And by signing that plea deal, you 518 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 8: were agreeing with the government. You're signing that you would 519 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 8: admit to that lie. And as a Christian, I refused 520 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 8: to lie and bear false witness, particularly in a formal setting. 521 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 8: I also wasn't going to acknowledge a crime that I 522 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 8: did not commit. But more importantly, lance, I was not 523 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 8: going to support a fascist government, a weaponized government, and 524 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 8: support their machinations to coerce my fellow citizens into this 525 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 8: lie and. 526 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 3: Perpetrate that really terrible persecution. 527 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: So how long were you in prison? 528 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 3: So I was sentenced for almost three years? 529 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 8: I served a full year three hundred and sixty six 530 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 8: days before then being released because since I didn't take 531 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 8: the plea, I pressed an appeal of all charges. I 532 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 8: was vindicated at the Supreme Court, released shortly after, and 533 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 8: then in January completely exonerated of all five charges. When 534 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 8: the DOJ vacated the entire case, start to finish, annoying 535 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 8: it as if it had not happened. 536 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: All right, I No, this is gonna be the dumb 537 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: question you have to endure from me, But I'm peace 538 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: endure worth. Okay, here it goes. Do you think you 539 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: were singled out for that particular type of vindictiveness because 540 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: of your role with frontline doctors and your stand against 541 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: the government cover up on the vaccine. 542 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 3: It's a very interesting question. 543 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 8: Doctor Gold and myself, among others, have certainly been very 544 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 8: noticeable in our speech and in our efforts to advance 545 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 8: the truth, to inform Americans about their rights and about 546 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 8: propaganda that is dangerous and so forth. 547 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 3: I cannot say for sure. 548 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 8: If that was why I was targeted in one way 549 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 8: or another. What I can tell you is that J 550 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 8: six ers at large were definitely singled out, targeted, abused, 551 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 8: and mistreated at a very harsh level, above and beyond 552 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 8: the average prisoner because of our status. I have documentation 553 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 8: from the BOP with DOJ fingerprints authorizing abusive treatment of me, 554 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 8: and that's obviously because of who I am and what 555 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 8: I represent as a truth teller and as a supporter of. 556 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 3: The Mega movement. 557 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 8: So I don't know if it had to do with 558 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 8: frontline doctors and that angle, but certainly we were noticed 559 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 8: in time. 560 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: Look, they had a profile on you. Look this we're 561 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: dealing with, like the Stas police. They knew who you were, 562 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: and they had a profile, and you represented one of 563 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: the heads they wanted to hunt make could make an 564 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: example out of anybody that leads and inform movement speakers. 565 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: That day, you were a speaker, so you would be 566 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: one of the ring leaders of the Nazarenes as far 567 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 1: as that goes. But you had solitary confinement for a 568 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: period of time, and you had this prison situation. You 569 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: didn't lose hope. How did this affect your spiritual life? 570 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: And some people would crack and deny. Well, Jesus, how 571 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: can you let this happen to the other pe people. 572 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: I don't know how it affects them, so I haven't 573 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: gone through it. How about you? 574 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 8: Great question lands, And that's my favorite part of the story. 575 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 8: I've always told folks that the only reason I made 576 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 8: the decision that I did to refuse the plea to 577 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 8: really take the hard road, knowing I'd go to prison, 578 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 8: I couldn't have known they were going to put me 579 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 8: in isolation and do what they did there. 580 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 3: It was horrific. 581 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 8: It's too hard now to really explain isolation and that 582 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 8: kind of abuse, but let me just tell you it's 583 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 8: not anything you'd wish on your worst enemy. I encourage 584 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 8: folks to go to Johnstrand dot com and get the 585 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 8: book that I wrote, because I tell the story in detail. 586 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 3: But to your question, it's only God and. 587 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,239 Speaker 8: The faith that I have the confidence that I have 588 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 8: in God's mercy and his sovereignty in His power that 589 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 8: I was able to make the decision to walk that 590 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 8: very dark and difficult road. And it's only that power 591 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 8: and mercy of God that kept me sane in a 592 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 8: situation that would destroy the minds of many people and 593 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 8: causes me of them to actually die. It was suicide 594 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 8: and other traumas, so it was very serious and God 595 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 8: was mighty to save. I truly believe that. I know 596 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 8: that it's proven. It's written into my heart now and 597 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 8: it's a really amazing story. So I'm very grateful for 598 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 8: God's mercy, and not only that, but to learn a 599 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 8: really powerful lesson that He allows pain and trauma in 600 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 8: our lives for a purpose. Our lives are built for 601 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 8: purpose all the way around. Pain and trauma and suffering 602 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 8: is a part of that. Jesus said, you will face persecutions, 603 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 8: people will hate you because you love me. 604 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 3: And I am a grateful. 605 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 8: And proud Christian and that faith is what informed me 606 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 8: and empowered me to survive this experience, to withstand that 607 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 8: trauma and persecution, and it really has strengthened my faith 608 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 8: and inspired me to continue forward with the mission that 609 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 8: God has given me. 610 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: Well, when I think of Peter Navara, Oh, Steve Bannon, Yes, Johns, 611 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: And I mean, these you guys never should have had 612 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: the weaponized government come after you to bankrupt you, intimidate you, 613 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:20,760 Speaker 1: destroy you, expose great potential criminal destruction and a penal 614 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:25,399 Speaker 1: system and then basically scar you for life.

It's the other side of the liberty 662 00:37:54,040 --> 00:38:07,720 Speaker 8: coin that we invest in our people is duty and responsibility. 663 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: Let's do a real quick recap on what's the big 664 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,919 Speaker 1: things happening this week. You got to really think about 665 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 1: and I think the way that to look at it 666 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:21,479 Speaker 1: start with image nine in my producer's cave back there. 667 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: Doge is literally one of the most popular government initiatives 668 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:31,240 Speaker 1: in history. This poster says on x seventy three percent 669 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,759 Speaker 1: of Americans say the support cutting government waste. Trump brought 670 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: in the smartest man on earth to do it. The 671 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: Left destroyed Elon for it, the GOP won't vote on it. 672 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:47,879 Speaker 1: I can't believe this. Elon Musk adds his comment, did 673 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:52,440 Speaker 1: my best. He wasn't arguing with this post. He's saying, 674 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: I did my best. And it's a tragedy that the 675 00:38:56,280 --> 00:39:03,240 Speaker 1: darkness is so can yield in the in the realm 676 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 1: of public opinion shaping that you could actually have. It 677 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: goes to the protests in Seattle, or the disgrace in Seattle, 678 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,759 Speaker 1: the weird mayor there, goes to what happened to this 679 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,839 Speaker 1: guy John in the Jay six getting locked up. It's 680 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 1: crazy to me that Elon is attempting to cut fraud 681 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 1: and theft and he ends up having his dealership burned down. 682 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 1: How anyone could be convinced of doing that tells you 683 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,959 Speaker 1: there are people on a hair trigger waiting to kill 684 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: you and think they're doing God a service. On that 685 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,319 Speaker 1: cherry note, let me go try to figure out how 686 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 1: to make sense of the fact that DOGE has not 687 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,200 Speaker 1: been solidified because of cowardice. It's just down the hill. 688 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: Everybody up there looks at the next election cycle. Oh, 689 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 1: in five hundred days been terms. Everybody wants to go 690 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 1: back to their district with Morris Santa Claus's goodies and 691 00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: I'm telling you have It's just something's got to change, 692 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,719 Speaker 1: and everybody goes, well, whose job is it? Well, Donald 693 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 1: Trump ca only do so much so the truth teller 694 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: becomes the guy in the pulpit, but he's got a 695 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 1: narrow audience, got Christians listening to him. Then you need 696 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,800 Speaker 1: to have the truth teller in the podcast world. And 697 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,359 Speaker 1: thank god, we've got our bann Ins, and we got 698 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,360 Speaker 1: our other people that are out there. But Arlancewall nails 699 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,720 Speaker 1: our mayor may and you and doing our thing here. 700 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 1: But Senator Johnson, I'm on his side on this. He 701 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 1: predicts that he has enough Senate allies to hold up 702 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,240 Speaker 1: the Big Beautiful Bill. I want my president to succeed. 703 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: I want him to get what he wants for Christmas. 704 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: But I understand Donald Trump as well as and I'd 705 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:41,480 Speaker 1: say slightly better than most other people because I've been 706 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,279 Speaker 1: kind of like linked with him since twenty fifteen. I've 707 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: been with every iteration of what he goes tough. And 708 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: here's the challenge with the president. He is a showman 709 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: and he is a in a sense of pt. Barnem. 710 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 1: He actually likes being called that because he puts the 711 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 1: greatest show on her, the big, great, big beautiful Bill, 712 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 1: the Golden Age of America. His thing is he wants 713 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 1: the press and the platform. He's got to always announce 714 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: it's great. Well, in this case, the Senator Johnson is 715 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,279 Speaker 1: one of Ron Johnson is one of the few, like 716 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:23,400 Speaker 1: Rand Paul truth tellers in the Senate that says, listen, everybody, 717 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:29,279 Speaker 1: COVID hit and we expanded our budget to accommodate a 718 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 1: crisis by like a tree and a half dollars, and 719 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 1: we never went back. When COVID left. We got so 720 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 1: used to the pork we're now shoving it into the 721 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 1: system and it's creating a potential economic collapse. You do 722 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 1: not want America to have an economic collapse. When in 723 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:53,279 Speaker 1: July the bricks nations, including Russia, our sworn enemy, and 724 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: China and the other countries that would just be happy 725 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,359 Speaker 1: to see us get our comeup ands and disconnect from 726 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,719 Speaker 1: the dollar, they're going to meet and figure out just 727 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 1: how what they could do or what the timeline is 728 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,839 Speaker 1: for them dismantling the American dollar and having their own 729 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 1: currency with their own power over the world. Ron Johnson 730 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,320 Speaker 1: is sounding the alarm, and he's saying, I'm not telling 731 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 1: you you got to cut the two sacred cows Medicaid 732 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 1: and Social Security. Nobody will ever get elected if it 733 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 1: touches those two sacred elements, he said, but I think 734 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: we got close to a trillion dollars of fat we 735 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,720 Speaker 1: can eliminate just in what we put into the budget 736 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 1: since COVID. It just makes sense go back to where 737 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,919 Speaker 1: you were when the pre pandemic days, when you didn't 738 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 1: have the bloated additional money flowing around. He says, it 739 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:48,319 Speaker 1: can be done. But to do that, To do that, 740 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: they need to go through the two thousand items line 741 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,480 Speaker 1: by line. He said, there's one hundred million here, one 742 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 1: hundred million there. He said, you just got to go 743 00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:00,919 Speaker 1: through the non Social Security Medicaid items. And he said, 744 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 1: and that's where the hard work is. And no politician 745 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: wants to do it because somebody in there dang backyard 746 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,319 Speaker 1: that gets a little pork out of that is who 747 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 1: contributes to them, is going to say, I'm a little 748 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 1: concerned about what you're going to be doing with that. 749 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 1: Did you fill in the blank. But its contention is 750 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,200 Speaker 1: that the bill will almost certainly add to our deficits 751 00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 1: and our debt. I know, I've heard Ron Johnson, I've 752 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 1: heard Steve Miller, I've heard everybody that I love tell 753 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:33,880 Speaker 1: me why it's a great deal. But here's what they 754 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,959 Speaker 1: do they play smoking mirrors. It's based on a ten 755 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 1: year projection. If we get this income in and if 756 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 1: this and that, then in ten years it really reduces 757 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,440 Speaker 1: the deficit. But you see, it's always make believe in 758 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 1: the future. You've got to actually cut the spending now. Anyway, 759 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 1: Ron Johnson has his work cut out for him because 760 00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 1: all the Senators are under this pre sure. Other senators 761 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:05,880 Speaker 1: like Senator Josh Holly, who I really like, have expressed 762 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 1: almost I don't think we're going to be able to 763 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,719 Speaker 1: get reelected if we don't pass this bill, meaning they 764 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 1: don't want to be known as the people that cut 765 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:18,319 Speaker 1: something that their constituents want. And there it is. You 766 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 1: almost need the term limits idea almost makes sense when 767 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 1: you think about two terms for a senator or something, 768 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:28,719 Speaker 1: or says twelve years, because someone needs to have the 769 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 1: courage to say I'm not running for reelection, I'm doing 770 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:36,400 Speaker 1: what's right. Yeah. But anyway, so DeSantis says something interesting. 771 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 1: He slams Congress in this article here on the Hill 772 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,400 Speaker 1: for not acting on Doge cuts. He calls it a 773 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 1: betrayal of the voters. I think it's as item ten 774 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:53,240 Speaker 1: there in my producer's list Florida Governor Santus criticizes Congress 775 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 1: Tuesday for not moving to codify the cuts implemented by 776 00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:01,840 Speaker 1: the like the Doge as this and Dessantras is correct. 777 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 1: Elon Musk took massive incoming, including attacks on his companies 778 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 1: as well as personal smears, to lead the effort on Doge. 779 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,960 Speaker 1: He became public enemy number one of legacy media around 780 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:20,839 Speaker 1: the world. To see Republicans in Congress cast aside any 781 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,239 Speaker 1: meaningful spending reductions and in fact fully fun things like 782 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 1: USA is demoralizing and represents the betrayal of the voters 783 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:34,399 Speaker 1: who elected them. Man I sure hope that doesn't bleed 784 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,800 Speaker 1: into the sentiments that's going to go into the midterms 785 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 1: in less than five hundred days. President's got a gamble 786 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 1: here that he's going to be able to turn the 787 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 1: economy around and have positive cash flow and enough money 788 00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:52,800 Speaker 1: coming in with the GDP going up so that interest 789 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:57,240 Speaker 1: rates will stay low. With Here's the thing that Bannon says, 790 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 1: It's a little complex for those of us who are 791 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,320 Speaker 1: just trying to keep up with it all, but the 792 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 1: debt that we carry produces nervousness in the bond markets, 793 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 1: and then the Treasury has to kind of like do 794 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,200 Speaker 1: it's long term yield at like five percent for ten 795 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:19,160 Speaker 1: years or so, and what happens is our physcal credibility 796 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 1: begins to create anxiety around the world. That's the reason 797 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:26,200 Speaker 1: why goal keeps going up, because nobody really thinks there 798 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:31,040 Speaker 1: is a resolve to get the real demon slain. And 799 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,800 Speaker 1: that's the addiction to sugar spending. 800 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,840 Speaker 2: Do you think, like in midterms we have an opportunity 801 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:43,880 Speaker 2: to unseat kind of rhino incumbents and get in America 802 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,520 Speaker 2: first candidates for Congress. 803 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,840 Speaker 1: Well, you take a look at we only got a 804 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,839 Speaker 1: couple that are willing to slay this bear. I mean, 805 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,960 Speaker 1: we got a few when we got like seven in Congress, 806 00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,759 Speaker 1: and we've got three or four in the Senate, and 807 00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,000 Speaker 1: it's just not enough. That's why it's the popular vote, 808 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,880 Speaker 1: voice of the populace. It's got to become the people. 809 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,440 Speaker 1: And we have us. You know, Steve Miller is so articulated. 810 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,480 Speaker 1: He's in there saying it's impossible to overstate how exceptional, 811 00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:14,360 Speaker 1: extraordinary the one being beautiful is. I hate, don't you? 812 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,640 Speaker 1: And it happens to us in our business. I hate 813 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:22,719 Speaker 1: having people that cannot How should I put it. They're 814 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 1: so sold on their perspective that they can't honestly tell 815 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 1: you this is the strength and this is the weakness. 816 00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,840 Speaker 1: It's like, you really want to sell me on something. 817 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,600 Speaker 1: Don't come at me like this is the magic bullet. 818 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,839 Speaker 1: Just say to me, it does these things perfectly. It 819 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,239 Speaker 1: doesn't do this, and we still need something to do 820 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:42,360 Speaker 1: that
