1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 2: And welcome back to Coast to Coast George Snrorry with

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 2: you along with Daniel Brinkley, co founder of the Twilight

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: Brigade again, a not for profit group that is dedicated

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 2: to making sure no veteran dies along. Their website is

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: the Twilight Brigade dot com linked up at Coast tocoastdam

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: dot com. Danian, is the VA doing all it can

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 2: for our vets? Is it getting any better?

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 3: Well, we have to look at it from this point.

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 3: This is an election you're coming, okay, And if we

11
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: dislike for twenty seven years, put the information in the

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 3: hands of the people and the veterans, then they have

13
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 3: a knowledge of a reason why when you see your

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 3: representative or you see these people on the campaign trail,

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 3: we can make a difference. So what I've done every

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 3: year is put together the worst and the best things.

17
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 3: But when to answer your question straightforward, is this There

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 3: are two studies. They say that seventeen to twenty two

19
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 3: veterans kill themselves every day, and then there's another one

20
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 3: that says thirty one a day. Well, in eighty six

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 3: percent of these veterans have interacted with the VA or

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 3: tried to find help, okay, And so when you look

23
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 3: at that, then the system is failing. It is absolutely

24
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: failing if these veterans are interacting and trying to find

25
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 3: help with whatever they're going through and the system is

26
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 3: failing them, because then they get depressed and they kill themselves.

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 3: And at the rate that we're watching it happen. This

28
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: is why everybody as war is building all around us,

29
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 3: and we look at what the contract with the government

30
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: is when you go and put your life on the line,

31
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 3: and then to look at the last three from Vietnam

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 3: forward to now and look at where we are, we

33
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: have to do something. So how made a list of

34
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 3: a couple of things are the worst parts about the VA,

35
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: because there's also great things happening, the innovation of integrative

36
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: and complementary medicine, and the VA is beating all goals.

37
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 3: It's beating all standards across the metric of hospitalization therapy modalities.

38
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: Has that changed? It wasn't that way thirty years ago,

39
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: was it?

40
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: Oh? My god, George? When I started member. When I started,

41
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 3: they didn't have hospice. There was no hospice program. When

42
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 3: I started in the VA, and the Tchi Bagage's training

43
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 3: has now become the standard end of blafe care model

44
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 3: in the Veterans Administration as no vet dies alone. And

45
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: I was talking to Cheryl Turkilson. It was me, Sheryl Turkison,

46
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 3: Thomas EAD's, Beth Clay of the International Chiropractors Association, all

47
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: of us who came together to push this forward old

48
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 3: health and integrative therapy. They you couldn't even say the

49
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 3: word yoga. You couldn't say it. Okay. So now the

50
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: standard end of life care model used by the Veterans

51
00:02:54,919 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: Administration is the Parlett Brigade refined into now a standard

52
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 3: the end of life care model. So I have succeeded

53
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: in achieving that goal. Okay. So when you look at

54
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 3: where we are now, the greatest, the worst thing that

55
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 3: we have is the eh R, the electronic healthcare system.

56
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: It's the worst thing in the world for whoever designed it, George,

57
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: whoever designed it, did not care about the patient. They

58
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: cared about records. So what's happening to doctors? And I

59
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: have like twenty two different doctors that I know in

60
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: different vas. So I asked them all the same questions,

61
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 3: and so the system takes away from time and with

62
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: the patient, with the veterans, it's worth that. Chasing down

63
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: how to put a record together is so hard. You

64
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: spend all of your time logging information and only have

65
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 3: a couple of minutes with the vet trying to diagnose.

66
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 3: This is horrible. The other thing that's really bad is

67
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: they are not looking at They're not looking at what

68
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: happens after war. I mean, they say they're doing it, okay,

69
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: but when you look at.

70
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: And that's one of the most critical things, isn't it.

71
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 3: It's everything George, Why would we serve because we knew

72
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 3: our backs were covered and you know, you work the system.

73
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 3: I mean, the worst part. The other part that's the

74
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 3: worst is the bureaucratic victims. They build bureaucratic systems that

75
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 3: create obstacles. Like one doctor he said, look, I have

76
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: to go through ten pharmacists to give a patient of prescription,

77
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: and they all have to approve it because each one

78
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 3: creates a rule or regulation so that they would be

79
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 3: in charge of making the decision when the doctor's been

80
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: a doctor for forty years, okay, And this is throughout

81
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: the doctors different every type of doctor cardiologists and internists

82
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 3: and surgeons, all of them tell me the same thing,

83
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 3: and especially nurse. So this is stuff that we as

84
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 3: the we as the people of the night, or we

85
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 3: have coasted the coast, we have the power in the

86
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: next year to stand up for our veterans. And that's

87
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: why the like light streamers is where I house the

88
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 3: toilet Brigade because now it's a government program. And I

89
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 3: moved on to caregivers because the thing that's so great

90
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 3: that I've watched happen, George, is caregivers have power and survivors.

91
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: So before it was only just the veteran. Now it's

92
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: the caregiver and they can get paid. They can they're

93
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 3: gonna do the work anyway. They're gonna do it anyway,

94
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 3: and why not get paid for it. Why not respect

95
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 3: the caregiver? Because when you when they looked at the

96
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 3: Iraq situation and after the Gulf War, which not nobody

97
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: really got hurt, but you looked at when you came home,

98
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: that parent became that parent, or that wife or that

99
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: spouse or that friend became a caregiver, and something had

100
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 3: to happen. So this has moved forward. I'll tell you

101
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 3: something else. That's really cool, George. It's peer facilitators. During

102
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: the COVID time, they had to create ways that people

103
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 3: would normally come in for sessions and sit down and

104
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: talk or that program. Well, they put them on the

105
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 3: phone and they put them on a zoom call. Okay.

106
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: Kathy Bixby at the Washington VA, I mean she pushed

107
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 3: this program. She was hospice, but she pushed this program

108
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 3: where guys could get on their phone, they could call

109
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: in and have a peer facilitator. That means I unbat somebody.

110
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: They're listening to their story, and everybody listeninging to everybody

111
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 3: and interacting together to create that camaraderie that's so important.

112
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 3: I mean, I see the opportunity for us because we

113
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 3: have consisted. We've been doing this for twenty seven years. Okay,

114
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 3: we've been doing this, and everybody who listens, I try

115
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 3: to put together the smartest understanding of how to work

116
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 3: the VA to get what you need. Okay. And it's

117
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 3: the whole health program. The whole health program. If you're

118
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: a caregiver and you're listening this, are you no one?

119
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 3: Or you're a veteran and you're listening to this, or

120
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 3: you no one. You tell them to go to the

121
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 3: and look on the website at VA, at the VA

122
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: slash va dot gov, slash wholehealth dot com and look

123
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 3: at it because it's your gateway. And not only that, George,

124
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: it's the opportunity to take back control of your life

125
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 3: with Now you can say yoga, ichi, acupuncture, stretching, I

126
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 3: mean a whole other world. I A practice, a whole

127
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 3: other world of integrated therapies are happening in the VA

128
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 3: because you have to treat the whole body. You have

129
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 3: to treat that. And so my biggest issue is two things.

130
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 3: The system is bureaucrats and the other system is the

131
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: electronic healthcare system. It doesn't work. It doesn't work. And

132
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: the other thing is tonight, in the two hundred and

133
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 3: forty eighth anniversary of the.

134
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 2: Marine Corps, of which you're a marine.

135
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: Urrah, fifty thousand becans fifty thousand vecins will sleep on

136
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 3: the street. No way, fifty to sixty thousand. I took

137
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 3: the low side of the study, George.

138
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: Wow.

139
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 3: In Los Angeles, that's all they talk about is a thousand.

140
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 3: Why there's eighteen thousand vectans on the street in Los Angeles?

141
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: Crazy time.

142
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 3: It's insane.

143
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 2: It is insane. We need to take care.

144
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 3: Let me tell you one of the issues within it, though, George.

145
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: Here's one of the issues because I lived this every day.

146
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 3: You know, I've been at this thirty seven years in

147
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 3: the VA and I mean the hospital volunteer for forty

148
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 3: five years, you know, in the VAF thirty four thousand

149
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 3: dollars at the bedside, and I've been with over two

150
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 3: thousand people at three hundred and fifty eight taking their

151
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 3: last breath.

152
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 2: There's a place for you in heaven, Danian. If they

153
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 2: ever keep you, they keep throwing you.

154
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 3: Back well, because I know you would miss me, George.

155
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: Yes.

156
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 3: So here's the other thing too. There's a thing called

157
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 3: Operation Operation Patriot FOB OPFOB in South Carolina and it's

158
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 3: finding purpose beyond beyond the call of duty. And they're

159
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 3: trying to create camaraderies near the Marines, near Paris Island.

160
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 3: And I want people to go to Lightstreamers dot com

161
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 3: and then go to the Twilight Brigade under resources and

162
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: look up, look up this op FOB OPFOB light Streamers

163
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: Twilight Brigade, because these kind of organizations need our support,

164
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 3: because these are veterans helping veterans peer to peter. The

165
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 3: other thing that's so much important in integrated therapy, and

166
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 3: this is another company I found. It's called Benefits USA, Okay,

167
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 3: and they have a series of products that have to

168
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: do with pain management, okay. And I want people to

169
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 3: take a look at it, Light Streamers, Twilight Brigade Resources,

170
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 3: and go in and look at it, because if you're

171
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 3: in pain and it's a natural way, let's see if

172
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 3: it works for you. The other thing is we need

173
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 3: to support the OPFOB. I mean, this needs to be

174
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 3: supported because these kinds of programs, George, are the things

175
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 3: that's gonna make a difference in the lives of efans.

176
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 3: And when you come in contact with a congress person

177
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 3: or anybody that's running for office next year, these talking

178
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 3: points are gonna make the difference.

179
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: Sure, how bad is PTSD.

180
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 3: Well, you've got to be able to separate the concept

181
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 3: of PTSD from traumatic brain injury, Okay. And it's horrible.

182
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 3: It's horrible, and some of it is caused. Georgia is

183
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 3: the thing that made me got me really bad because

184
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 3: I heard these stories of guys they're ops people. Because

185
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 3: I know, you know, I know everybody. They're ops people.

186
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 3: And they were doing a special op in Syria, okay,

187
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: and it was a marine battalion. And these guys came

188
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: back and they were a howardzer battalion and then they

189
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 3: were firing one hundred pounders okay, fifteen miles and they

190
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 3: so many of these twenty two of them came back

191
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 3: and they were having visions and hearing voices, and they

192
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: were seeing dead people. And one had this little girl

193
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 3: that stayed with him all the time. Okay, And I said,

194
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 3: wait a minute, wait a minute, what could possibly They

195
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 3: thought they were hecks. They thought that some of the

196
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 3: stories that they were told, because when you're firing a howitzer,

197
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 3: you're filing at twelve to fifteen miles, and you don't

198
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 3: never see a combat. You don't ever see one. But

199
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 3: when these guys started having this, they ruled it PTSD,

200
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: but it was traumatic brain injury, okay. And when guys

201
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 3: wouldn't follow along the system and take the drug protocols

202
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 3: that they have so they could classify it under the

203
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 3: numbers that they could use so that they could fill

204
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 3: it up in their records, as opposed to paying attention

205
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 3: to what they're saying when you fire a howitzer maybe

206
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty five. You got one hundred pounder.

207
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: The percussion, George of when you pull that, when you

208
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 3: pull that lever and it fires, there is a percussion

209
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: wave that comes backwards. I mean, anybody's ever been in

210
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 3: a blast zone.

211
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 2: Those incredible, isn't it?

212
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean it moves through every muscle, every bone,

213
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 3: every organ. I mean it shatters you. And then you fire,

214
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 3: and then you at firebase and then you fire four hours.

215
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 3: Look at what you're doing. So it's got to be

216
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 3: traumatic brain injury. So in separating those two things, look

217
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 3: at PTSD, which is a protocol they use. And I'll

218
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 3: tell you something about PTSD, George. It has a lot

219
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 3: to do with guilt. I mean traumatic brain injury comes.

220
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 3: I mean PTSD post traumatic stress syndrome comes from things

221
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 3: that when you get away from it and you don't

222
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 3: have the camaraderie of your team, and you don't have

223
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: the safety of you all supporting each other, and you're

224
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 3: all by yourself having to face yourself and what happens

225
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 3: in combat and in war you're killing tens of thousands

226
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: of people. You cannot walk away from that. And when

227
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 3: you look at today. You look at today and where

228
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 3: we are is the United States of America, and when

229
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 3: what's going on? And where we have? You know what

230
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: the first thing I would ask myself was, is the

231
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 3: president administration refilling the Strategic ore Reserve? That is the

232
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 3: only question I would ask the President of the United

233
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 3: States today?

234
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 2: Why is that?

235
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 3: Because if you don't have the fuel to convert to

236
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 3: run operation, which is diesel, what happens to climate change

237
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 3: in a war? George, what happens? Climate change goes out

238
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 3: the window? And you know, it doesn't matter anymore because

239
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: the diesel fuel and killing and murdering and destroying and

240
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 3: all the stuff that creates CO two and all those

241
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: stories that we hear about that. Then what happens if

242
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 3: we don't have the fuel, If we don't have the

243
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 3: fuel to fight a war, we won't be fighting it. Okay.

244
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 3: So when people start to really look at this, are

245
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 3: those reserves being refulled today? And are we pumping in

246
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 3: America to make sure that we get to at a

247
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 3: price that we can afford to pay? And George, look

248
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 3: we're at right now to the United States. We are

249
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: we don't have a budget, we haven't had a budget

250
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 3: like ten or twelve years, But we don't have a budget.

251
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 3: We're having continuous resolution right now and it's got to

252
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 3: be done by what Monday or are the government shuts down?

253
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 3: Hello everybody? Okay, So if there's ever a chance that

254
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 3: we're going to make a difference, it's now. And if

255
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 3: we ever were safe enough to look at where we are,

256
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 3: we don't have a choice. The thing that I have

257
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 3: comfort in, George is you already know the boxes of

258
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 3: knowledge and save by the light and from the You know,

259
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 3: everybody doesn't know that. But when I put it in

260
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 3: that book, it was if they were brave enough to

261
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 3: put this stuff on me and I had to come

262
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 3: back and take two years to learn to walk and

263
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 3: feed myself. Then when I was going to tell the story,

264
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,479
Speaker 3: either what they had given me as became future events,

265
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 3: what they had given me either reinforced the fact that

266
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 3: there was life after death already did not. These are

267
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 3: not Danien predictions. These are what they said. And when

268
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 3: Paul and I sat down we put it in boxes.

269
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 3: All I asked anybody to do is just go look

270
00:15:55,040 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 3: at it and see what I missed. What did they miss? Okay?

271
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 3: Then the reality for me it's that there's life after death.

272
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 3: And I've helped contribute to the concept. I've been going

273
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 3: through all the crap that I've been through, I've contributed

274
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 3: to the concept. So where the toilet Brigade came from?

275
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: Was it you come to a place in this event

276
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 3: when you see your life pass before you in a

277
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 3: three hundred and sixty degree you watch it from a

278
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: second persons point of view as though you were your

279
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 3: own best friend, and then you literally become every person

280
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: that you ever encountered, and you feel the direct results

281
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 3: of your interaction between you and that person. And this

282
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 3: is a Danianism. But then you ask a question, if

283
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 3: God couldn't come today and God sent you and the

284
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: life you just reviewed, what difference did you and God make? Well,

285
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 3: lying in that bed for eleven or twelve months and

286
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 3: getting up the walk again. The difference that I could

287
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 3: make is go die with marines. That was the difference

288
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 3: I could make, because I'd already been where they're going

289
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 3: to go, and I have so much knowledge of what

290
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 3: marines and what combat and what people go through. And

291
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 3: so if God couldn't come to and God sent me,

292
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 3: and then when it came time to do this book,

293
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 3: which is like eighteen years later. It was because I

294
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 3: looked at where Raymond was and I saw that how,

295
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: I mean, how trying so hard to descend something he

296
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 3: did a study on. I mean he studied it. He

297
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 3: was a philosopher. And I watch what happened, and I

298
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 3: just said, Okay, let's put it out there. So I've

299
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 3: been out here every day since then.
