00:00:00.190 --> 00:00:04.030
PBN family, when's the last time you thought about reparedness?
2
00:00:04.849 --> 00:00:11.599
Not preparedness, but reparedness. That's what YouFixedIt.ai is all about.
3
00:00:12.539 --> 00:00:13.140
Reparedness.
4
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:16.640
What can you repair when you need to save some
5
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:20.609
cash or no one's coming to repair it? The other day,
6
00:00:20.809 --> 00:00:26.429
my thermostat went black. My HVAC turned off. Talking $ 100
7
00:00:25.750 --> 00:00:28.510
just to bring a tech out. I plugged the information
8
00:00:28.570 --> 00:00:34.390
into YouFixedIt.ai, and it told me that my condensation outflow
9
00:00:34.450 --> 00:00:38.520
pipe was clogged. It was triggering an automatic shutoff. In
10
00:00:38.549 --> 00:00:41.219
about 10 minutes, my system was back on and working.
11
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:43.539
I canceled my $ 100 appointment.
12
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:44.119
Bingo!
13
00:00:44.579 --> 00:00:48.460
It gave me easy-to-follow instructions, a whole section on safety
14
00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:51.539
so I didn't electrocute myself, and then a list of
15
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:53.439
tools that I might need to get the job done.
16
00:00:54.170 --> 00:00:56.299
Check it out for yourself and make it a part
17
00:00:56.340 --> 00:01:05.060
of your preparedness plans. That's Y-O-U-F-I-X-E-D-I-T dot A-I. And if
18
00:01:05.099 --> 00:01:08.459
you put slash prepper on the end, you get 10% off.
19
00:01:09.260 --> 00:01:10.980
And they'll know we sent you.
20
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.060
If we were down Greenspan, we ought to just eliminate
21
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:21.939
the debt ceiling. Oh, absolutely.
22
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:22.700
You go.
23
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.879
The ability of almost every working American to access more
24
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:28.790
credit than they should have been able to masked the
25
00:01:28.890 --> 00:01:33.010
underlying fact that lower and middle class incomes were not rising.
26
00:01:33.310 --> 00:01:34.370
That's not a tenable strategy.
27
00:01:34.409 --> 00:01:36.010
Isn't that the time to eliminate it?
28
00:01:36.049 --> 00:01:37.530
We've been talking a long time about it.
29
00:01:37.530 --> 00:01:41.439
Let's put aside terrorism. Let's talk only about our own
30
00:01:41.459 --> 00:01:42.640
homegrown animals that.
31
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:44.680
Are patrolling America right now.
32
00:01:45.510 --> 00:01:47.569
So it goes down to the simplest thing.
33
00:01:47.650 --> 00:01:48.909
Be prepared. Be vigilant.
34
00:01:57.659 --> 00:02:01.500
Good evening, folks. James Walton with the I Am Liberty show. Listen,
35
00:02:01.540 --> 00:02:05.480
tonight we're going to do things a little different. We've
36
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:09.080
got ourselves a great guest. Hopefully you've read the show description.
37
00:02:09.099 --> 00:02:11.199
Hopefully you've been looking forward to this like I have.
38
00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:18.159
This guest is a He's a measure of what's capable
39
00:02:18.219 --> 00:02:24.659
with friendship, even long-distance friendship, even friendship that's not even
40
00:02:24.740 --> 00:02:29.860
nurtured very often. I got this guy's name through another
41
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:33.919
person who... Well, I'll tell you about Matt Cochran with
42
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:40.729
the TacticalDads.com because it's a great website. Tactical Dads, you
43
00:02:40.750 --> 00:02:42.569
can follow them on Facebook. You can check out the website.
44
00:02:42.590 --> 00:02:46.110
They do a podcast and... I've been on the podcast.
45
00:02:46.150 --> 00:02:51.729
I posted it up on my website, imlibertyshow.com. Linked me
46
00:02:51.830 --> 00:02:57.539
up with Andy Murphy, who's with us tonight, thesecuredad.com, which
47
00:02:58.939 --> 00:03:04.340
is a phenomenal site, really. I mean, it is. Right now,
48
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.909
it is. And also for you entrepreneurs out there, you
49
00:03:07.949 --> 00:03:09.550
need to go check the site out because the way
50
00:03:09.569 --> 00:03:12.949
that it's laid out is great, too. From a business standpoint.
51
00:03:12.969 --> 00:03:17.610
But the content on there is excellent. Andy's story is incredible.
52
00:03:18.229 --> 00:03:21.530
And we're probably going to have a two-parter with Andy.
53
00:03:22.509 --> 00:03:26.990
Because I really want to get into this school security
54
00:03:27.030 --> 00:03:29.750
and school shooting topic. I really want to polish off
55
00:03:29.810 --> 00:03:35.219
our big collection of podcasts about school shootings with a
56
00:03:35.259 --> 00:03:37.719
real deep dive into school security. I don't think we're
57
00:03:37.740 --> 00:03:40.120
going to be able to get that done tonight, which
58
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.759
is fine. We'll probably have him on again, and we'll
59
00:03:42.780 --> 00:03:45.099
shore that thing up. And like I said, and I
60
00:03:45.150 --> 00:03:47.129
know I've talked about it a lot, but this mass
61
00:03:47.169 --> 00:03:51.750
shooting super podcast that we're in the process of creating
62
00:03:51.830 --> 00:03:55.289
is going to include the podcast that we did in
63
00:03:55.330 --> 00:03:57.389
the past, the one with Dane from the Gun Metal Armory.
64
00:03:57.409 --> 00:04:01.030
We're going to have the behavior analyst, Christian Sawyer, on there.
65
00:04:01.449 --> 00:04:04.189
And then we'll polish it off with Andy Murphy here,
66
00:04:04.210 --> 00:04:07.330
who's going to join us tonight. So in the essence
67
00:04:07.370 --> 00:04:10.909
of time, for a change, I'm not going to blabber on.
68
00:04:12.099 --> 00:04:15.219
But trust me, there's plenty to talk about tonight. So
69
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.939
once we once we shore things up with Andy, we'll
70
00:04:18.980 --> 00:04:21.199
jump into a bunch of other content. There's tons of
71
00:04:21.250 --> 00:04:23.670
stuff to talk about. And please stay on after the
72
00:04:23.689 --> 00:04:26.209
interview because I have something that is vitally important to
73
00:04:26.310 --> 00:04:30.069
tell you that it's a mistake that I made. It's
74
00:04:30.089 --> 00:04:32.350
a direction that I pushed a listening audience into that
75
00:04:32.370 --> 00:04:35.069
I need to grab you before you go any further.
76
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.180
If you have gone any further on the topic and
77
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:40.300
it has to do with the ready network. All right.
78
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:46.819
and their network marketing company. So please stay tuned for that.
79
00:04:46.860 --> 00:04:49.160
It's a big announcement, and it's kind of a screw-up
80
00:04:49.220 --> 00:04:50.519
on my part, so I want to make sure you
81
00:04:50.540 --> 00:04:54.120
guys hear it. But without further ado, let's get our
82
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:59.300
man on, Andy Murphy, joining us tonight, thesecuredad.com. How are
83
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:00.139
you doing tonight, sir?
84
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:03.620
I'm doing well, James. Thank you so much for having me.
85
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.620
I appreciate you joining us on the I Am Liberty show.
86
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.189
We've done more guests in the recent... days but my
87
00:05:13.250 --> 00:05:15.920
show is long ran as a show with very few
88
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:18.639
guests I've just been hit with a bunch of great
89
00:05:18.699 --> 00:05:22.259
guests over and over again so it's I like it
90
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:24.420
I do like it especially when I've got someone on
91
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.279
like you let me first say Andy I'm a guy
92
00:05:26.339 --> 00:05:31.300
who owns and runs a website and a podcast obviously
93
00:05:31.339 --> 00:05:34.060
and writes for a living and I want to give
94
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:37.110
you kudos on the layout on your website because not
95
00:05:37.139 --> 00:05:39.730
only is the content the content is great on the
96
00:05:39.769 --> 00:05:44.160
website obviously I mean, really, a cut above... Thank you.
97
00:05:44.540 --> 00:05:45.319
Thank you.
98
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.519
A cut above, if not one of the best, when
99
00:05:48.540 --> 00:05:51.660
it comes to literally going and finding information about security
100
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.620
and how it pertains to the average human, you know?
101
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:56.250
Right.
102
00:05:56.509 --> 00:06:00.850
But outside of the content itself, the way that you
103
00:06:00.889 --> 00:06:03.569
have it set up is awesome, too. I mean, from
104
00:06:03.589 --> 00:06:08.889
the standpoint of really marketing the website, capturing and growing
105
00:06:08.939 --> 00:06:10.819
an email list and that type of thing, I know...
106
00:06:11.550 --> 00:06:13.889
Many of the listeners probably don't look at the website
107
00:06:13.930 --> 00:06:15.730
that way, but I certainly look at the website that
108
00:06:15.750 --> 00:06:19.680
way and appreciate the thought that went into that.
109
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.120
It took a lot of mistakes to get it this polished.
110
00:06:24.019 --> 00:06:27.420
Well, it's nice, man. I really like it. I'm a
111
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.259
little bit obsessed with how people set their websites up
112
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:34.980
in order to take advantage of the traffic. Because I
113
00:06:35.019 --> 00:06:39.180
think a lot of times, especially... Early on, when it
114
00:06:39.220 --> 00:06:40.730
comes to bloggers, and I know I have a lot
115
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:43.050
of people listening who want to go this route or
116
00:06:43.069 --> 00:06:46.449
maybe going this route, you start to think, like, as
117
00:06:46.509 --> 00:06:48.069
long as I get a lot of people who come
118
00:06:48.089 --> 00:06:52.050
to my website, then that's good. I'm a success. And
119
00:06:52.069 --> 00:06:54.490
you quickly find out that just because people come doesn't
120
00:06:54.529 --> 00:06:57.949
necessarily mean you make any money. Right.
121
00:06:59.410 --> 00:07:02.269
And I want to be able to contact folks again
122
00:07:02.310 --> 00:07:04.279
and be able to say, hey, here's a new article
123
00:07:04.339 --> 00:07:07.480
that I think you might like. Here is something else
124
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.639
that I have discovered. And so I want to be
125
00:07:10.699 --> 00:07:16.209
able to keep talking to people as long as they'll listen.
126
00:07:17.230 --> 00:07:19.050
Yeah, it's really hard to do if you don't have
127
00:07:19.110 --> 00:07:22.490
constant contact with them. There's just so much in life.
128
00:07:23.509 --> 00:07:26.790
I mean, I'm always blown away, and I'm sure you
129
00:07:26.870 --> 00:07:31.519
are too, about the fact that people come to a website,
130
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:35.860
listen to a podcast, download an episode on a weekly basis,
131
00:07:35.899 --> 00:07:39.300
and dedicate that much of their precious time to something
132
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:45.970
that you create. I mean, that's a powerful thing. So, Andy,
133
00:07:46.370 --> 00:07:51.209
no doubt about it. So, I want you to tell
134
00:07:51.250 --> 00:07:53.449
us about how you got into this thing, because when
135
00:07:53.470 --> 00:07:56.910
you read the website, When you get into the content,
136
00:07:56.930 --> 00:07:59.370
when you see the level of depth that you're explaining
137
00:07:59.410 --> 00:08:02.029
these things, and just the sheer amount of posts that
138
00:08:02.050 --> 00:08:05.490
you have up there, at first glance, you obviously say
139
00:08:05.509 --> 00:08:09.089
to yourself, okay, Andy Murphy, security professional for 20 years,
140
00:08:09.209 --> 00:08:14.329
working for such and such company with a great background
141
00:08:14.370 --> 00:08:17.410
in this stuff. And I wanted you to sort of
142
00:08:17.449 --> 00:08:19.870
give your story. I think it might surprise some people.
143
00:08:21.139 --> 00:08:23.060
Sure. Thanks.
144
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:28.199
But, you know, this all started for me. I had
145
00:08:28.250 --> 00:08:33.549
a mind shift change back on April 20th, 1999. And
146
00:08:33.590 --> 00:08:36.309
that was the day of the attack on Columbine High School.
147
00:08:37.330 --> 00:08:41.169
I was in high school at the time, and that
148
00:08:41.350 --> 00:08:45.610
changed my life. I was not there. But when I
149
00:08:45.830 --> 00:08:48.769
got home that afternoon and I started seeing the coverage
150
00:08:49.090 --> 00:08:52.440
on CNN and and all these kids pouring out of
151
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:55.620
a school that kind of looked like mine. These guys
152
00:08:55.659 --> 00:08:57.580
were wearing clothes that looked like the clothes that my
153
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.639
friends wore. I can imagine myself and my friends in
154
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:02.799
that situation, and all of a sudden it clicked with
155
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:07.529
me that I had to understand that my personal safety
156
00:09:08.309 --> 00:09:14.029
is my personal responsibility. And so when you have a
157
00:09:14.090 --> 00:09:18.120
shift in your mindset like that, you start to think
158
00:09:18.259 --> 00:09:22.600
completely differently than you did before. The community I was
159
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.360
living in back in 1999 had actually had a school
160
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.850
shooting in that community probably about 10 years earlier. And
161
00:09:32.529 --> 00:09:37.169
so this kind of subject being brought up again was
162
00:09:37.210 --> 00:09:41.129
kind of old news to us. But when we started
163
00:09:41.169 --> 00:09:44.639
talking about it, in the case of the previous school shooting,
164
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:45.860
it had been.
165
00:09:47.389 --> 00:09:52.940
A bad actor coming in from the outside and shooting
166
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.639
inside of the school. What was different about Columbine was
167
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:58.419
different about it from what I understood was that the
168
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.259
threat came from within. The threat came from other students.
169
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.860
And I remember sitting in my classes and thinking, you know,
170
00:10:08.700 --> 00:10:13.230
if something goes wrong in this classroom, if that guy
171
00:10:13.269 --> 00:10:18.720
across the desk from me starts to do something our
172
00:10:18.740 --> 00:10:22.460
school resource officer can't get here in time. What am
173
00:10:22.539 --> 00:10:26.080
I going to do? And so I've just lived my
174
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:30.159
life thinking, okay, now what am I going to do?
175
00:10:31.019 --> 00:10:33.909
I don't have a background in the military. I don't
176
00:10:33.970 --> 00:10:36.870
have a background in law enforcement. I thought I was
177
00:10:36.909 --> 00:10:39.490
heading that way, but the long and short of it
178
00:10:39.669 --> 00:10:43.230
is it wasn't God's will for my life. So I
179
00:10:43.289 --> 00:10:47.830
have looked at everything as a civilian and, through the
180
00:10:47.889 --> 00:10:51.500
lens of what am I going to do if something
181
00:10:51.529 --> 00:10:54.559
goes wrong? And that was always fine for me as
182
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:57.720
an individual. Then I got married, then I had a child,
183
00:10:58.220 --> 00:11:00.679
and all of a sudden I realized I'm responsible for
184
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:04.860
a whole lot more than just me. And so that's
185
00:11:04.899 --> 00:11:07.019
where the secure dad comes from because I know that
186
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:08.830
there are other people like me and there are other
187
00:11:08.870 --> 00:11:12.750
people like you out there who are thinking, hey, what
188
00:11:12.789 --> 00:11:14.789
do I do if this restaurant catches on fire? Where's
189
00:11:14.809 --> 00:11:18.649
the nearest exit? Where's the nearest fire extinguisher? I know
190
00:11:18.690 --> 00:11:20.350
that I'm not the only person who thinks that way.
191
00:11:20.429 --> 00:11:22.950
If you're the kind of person that can't sit with
192
00:11:22.970 --> 00:11:25.610
your back to the door when you go to a
193
00:11:25.669 --> 00:11:29.139
Dunkin' Donuts, then you're a secure dad and you don't
194
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:29.620
realize it.
195
00:11:31.179 --> 00:11:33.399
I love your logo too, man. That is a phenomenal
196
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:38.240
logo there. Nothing gets that secure dad point across like
197
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:39.480
that design you've got there.
198
00:11:40.740 --> 00:11:42.779
Yes, I wish I could take credit for it, but
199
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:46.649
I can't. The graphic artist I've got to talk to
200
00:11:46.710 --> 00:11:50.919
about the book cover that I'm doing, she created it,
201
00:11:51.009 --> 00:11:53.519
and it was phenomenal beyond anything I could have ever
202
00:11:53.539 --> 00:11:54.220
thought of myself.
203
00:11:55.100 --> 00:11:57.120
No doubt about it. I may need to talk to her,
204
00:11:57.139 --> 00:11:58.919
to be honest with you. I'll shoot you an email.
205
00:11:58.980 --> 00:12:01.399
I can give you her website, absolutely.
206
00:12:02.210 --> 00:12:08.750
Yeah, we'll do that through email. But the– The transition
207
00:12:08.789 --> 00:12:11.649
that you made, I mean, what I like most about
208
00:12:11.669 --> 00:12:14.009
your story, Andy, is that I think you're part of
209
00:12:15.009 --> 00:12:19.009
what's coming for so many people, young people and even
210
00:12:19.049 --> 00:12:23.690
middle-aged people who have grown up thinking that I have
211
00:12:23.730 --> 00:12:26.970
to go to school and I have to choose something
212
00:12:26.990 --> 00:12:28.250
that I want to do for a living and I
213
00:12:28.309 --> 00:12:30.529
have to get a degree in that thing. And then
214
00:12:30.649 --> 00:12:33.519
once I become an expert at that thing, then I
215
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.799
can get paid good money. And the people of the
216
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:38.889
I Am Liberty show, the listeners, they know my story.
217
00:12:38.909 --> 00:12:41.870
They know that that's totally opposite to how I live
218
00:12:41.950 --> 00:12:47.149
my life. And I think your situation is very similar.
219
00:12:47.169 --> 00:12:49.649
And I really do think that this is a direction
220
00:12:49.669 --> 00:12:53.379
we're going to see people go pretty often in life.
221
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:55.960
I think we're going to see them getting out of
222
00:12:56.059 --> 00:12:59.340
college and not only doing it because you did it
223
00:12:59.379 --> 00:13:01.460
for your reasons, I did it for mine. They're a
224
00:13:01.500 --> 00:13:04.450
little bit different. But I think we're going to see
225
00:13:04.470 --> 00:13:08.389
it happening for a ton of reasons, maybe even out
226
00:13:08.429 --> 00:13:11.840
of necessity, based on the fact that I know people
227
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:16.539
are really struggling to get jobs in their field when
228
00:13:16.580 --> 00:13:20.100
they come out of college and things like that. But
229
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.320
it's just refreshing, Andy, to hear a story like that
230
00:13:22.340 --> 00:13:25.200
where you just decided, this is what I'm into, and
231
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:26.759
I'm going to figure out a way to make it work.
232
00:13:27.769 --> 00:13:29.429
And I hope it is working for you.
233
00:13:30.730 --> 00:13:31.090
It is.
234
00:13:31.370 --> 00:13:31.629
It is.
235
00:13:31.690 --> 00:13:34.269
You know, I'm, I'm not a millionaire by, by any stretch.
236
00:13:36.389 --> 00:13:39.210
I'm not lighting cigars with $ 20 bills, but, um.
237
00:13:39.389 --> 00:13:40.690
That's probably a good thing.
238
00:13:41.610 --> 00:13:46.269
Yeah, it's good. And it's, um, it's fulfilling and, you know,
239
00:13:46.330 --> 00:13:48.470
I have the support of my family, which I can't,
240
00:13:48.590 --> 00:13:51.120
I can't say how, how important that is is to
241
00:13:51.149 --> 00:13:54.080
have their support, but it's working out great.
242
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:59.720
That's awesome. Uh, What I'd really like to get into,
243
00:13:59.899 --> 00:14:01.919
and we had some other things that we were going
244
00:14:01.940 --> 00:14:04.820
to talk about, but I think you really covered about
245
00:14:04.860 --> 00:14:06.779
how it really changed your life, what happened.
246
00:14:08.019 --> 00:14:08.240
Right.
247
00:14:09.379 --> 00:14:12.269
You have been thinking about this issue for a very
248
00:14:12.330 --> 00:14:16.309
long time. In my show description, I talked about how
249
00:14:16.409 --> 00:14:19.110
nice it would have been had we had a nice
250
00:14:19.250 --> 00:14:22.289
break between the time when I contacted you and said,
251
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:24.039
can you come on the show to talk about the
252
00:14:24.059 --> 00:14:24.799
school shootings?
253
00:14:25.899 --> 00:14:26.139
Right.
254
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.529
Until now, you know, and... it would have been nice
255
00:14:28.549 --> 00:14:30.490
to say that we hadn't had another school shooting, but
256
00:14:30.509 --> 00:14:32.529
it looks like it's something that's just going to happen.
257
00:14:33.710 --> 00:14:33.909
Right.
258
00:14:34.909 --> 00:14:36.679
You know, depending on who you talk to, and I
259
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:39.179
talk to a lot of people about it, parents are
260
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.679
thinking all sorts of things, you know, from homeschooling to,
261
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:47.889
you know, body armor and book bags, which I'm not
262
00:14:47.909 --> 00:14:51.029
particularly too angry about. I think that's kind of a
263
00:14:51.070 --> 00:14:56.620
good direction to go. We did a couple shows... we
264
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:59.159
did a couple of shows on this topic and, uh,
265
00:14:59.659 --> 00:15:01.519
I know it's, I know that when, let me, let
266
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:03.639
me preface it with this because it's a big, important
267
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:05.600
thing for the audience to know, for you to know too, Andy,
268
00:15:05.620 --> 00:15:11.240
we're definitely not looking for the ultimate answer when we
269
00:15:11.259 --> 00:15:14.100
do these shows about the school shootings, but I'd love
270
00:15:14.139 --> 00:15:17.759
to get your take on what comes to mind when
271
00:15:17.779 --> 00:15:21.070
you see these things that being that you're so security minded,
272
00:15:22.450 --> 00:15:24.649
are there things that come to your mind every time
273
00:15:24.690 --> 00:15:28.549
this happens? And you say, if, if we just improve here,
274
00:15:28.610 --> 00:15:32.840
if we just consider this, what comes to mind? Right.
275
00:15:34.340 --> 00:15:38.480
I think for a lot of the situations that we
276
00:15:38.539 --> 00:15:41.710
find ourselves in, I think it comes to mind when
277
00:15:41.730 --> 00:15:44.929
we talk about the unfortunate events at Santa Fe High School.
278
00:15:45.669 --> 00:15:51.289
We look at Newtown, Connecticut. In those particular cases, those
279
00:15:51.409 --> 00:15:57.259
were young men who had problems most likely troubling histories.
280
00:15:58.059 --> 00:16:00.509
By the way, I don't ever use the shooter's names
281
00:16:00.809 --> 00:16:02.450
when I write and when I talk about it. I'm
282
00:16:02.470 --> 00:16:06.929
not giving these people any sort of glory or anything
283
00:16:06.950 --> 00:16:11.669
that could be misinterpreted as glory. So if we look
284
00:16:11.690 --> 00:16:15.049
at those two particular guys, they had access to firearms
285
00:16:15.070 --> 00:16:18.259
that they should not have had access to. They were
286
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:20.440
probably going through a lot of issues that maybe their
287
00:16:20.460 --> 00:16:23.860
parents turned a blind eye to. There's a lot of
288
00:16:23.899 --> 00:16:27.120
people who say, oh, we can't ever tell when these
289
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:31.259
things are going to happen. And the truth is you
290
00:16:31.379 --> 00:16:34.879
can see signs. People who are close to the shooters
291
00:16:35.590 --> 00:16:39.629
can see changes in behavior. They can see changes in
292
00:16:40.129 --> 00:16:43.169
how they act, how they talk, what they're thinking, what
293
00:16:43.210 --> 00:16:46.610
they're doing. If all of a sudden they're taking an
294
00:16:46.690 --> 00:16:50.720
interest in firearms when they hadn't had them before, there
295
00:16:50.740 --> 00:16:53.870
are always signs. There are always things that lead up
296
00:16:54.009 --> 00:16:57.240
to this. There's an author that I really admire. I
297
00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:00.059
don't always agree with everything that he says, but his
298
00:17:00.100 --> 00:17:02.399
name is Gavin DeBecker. He wrote The Gift of Fear.
299
00:17:03.500 --> 00:17:07.519
And he talks about there are ways that you can
300
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:12.009
see an individual, their behavior leading up to an attack
301
00:17:12.390 --> 00:17:16.079
and even just seconds before it happens. There are things
302
00:17:16.150 --> 00:17:19.960
that all of us humans do. There are specific thought
303
00:17:19.980 --> 00:17:22.980
patterns that we have, and there are specific physical patterns
304
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:25.119
that we have. And you can see these things coming
305
00:17:25.180 --> 00:17:29.500
if you're close enough to somebody who turns out to
306
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:34.700
be the shooter. And it's just whether or not as
307
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:39.900
a parent, as a friend, you recognize it or you
308
00:17:40.059 --> 00:17:45.319
act on it. And that's important. There's this whole thing
309
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.380
that you'll read in a lot of law enforcement blogs,
310
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:53.390
and that is if you see something, say something. And
311
00:17:53.430 --> 00:17:57.329
I think a lot of these situations could be prevented
312
00:17:57.390 --> 00:18:00.529
if somebody had just stood up and said something. Now,
313
00:18:00.569 --> 00:18:03.380
there was a case earlier this year in the state
314
00:18:03.410 --> 00:18:08.579
of Michigan where parents turned in their teenage son who
315
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:12.849
was going to commit a school shooting. He had actually
316
00:18:12.930 --> 00:18:16.470
stolen his grandparents' shotguns, had sawed off the end of
317
00:18:16.490 --> 00:18:18.599
the barrel so they could fit them in his book bag.
318
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:21.140
He had written it all up. He had drawn it
319
00:18:21.220 --> 00:18:26.059
all up. And at some point just decided that.
320
00:18:27.299 --> 00:18:28.460
He couldn't.
321
00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:32.819
Take it anymore. He started acting differently. His parents got involved.
322
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:36.829
They found out what was going on. And they actually
323
00:18:37.769 --> 00:18:39.829
turned him over to the police, which I'm sure was
324
00:18:39.930 --> 00:18:44.779
a heart-wrenching decision to do as a parent to see that, one,
325
00:18:44.819 --> 00:18:49.059
your child is planning on hurting other people's children, and two,
326
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:52.640
being brave enough to actually go to law enforcement and say,
327
00:18:52.700 --> 00:18:54.700
this was something that was going to happen. Our son
328
00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:57.099
needs help. We need to make sure he doesn't hurt anybody.
329
00:18:57.140 --> 00:18:59.759
We need to make sure he doesn't hurt himself. So
330
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:03.220
a lot of times when I see these situations occur,
331
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:08.269
I think, did somebody see something? Did somebody fail to
332
00:19:08.329 --> 00:19:12.650
say something? Did a parent not... looked the other way
333
00:19:12.750 --> 00:19:15.849
when they realized that, you know, their handgun was missing.
334
00:19:16.130 --> 00:19:19.430
You know, did somebody not lock something up properly? So
335
00:19:19.450 --> 00:19:21.470
that's the first thing that comes to mind is really,
336
00:19:21.609 --> 00:19:25.730
you know, the personal responsibility of a parent to be
337
00:19:25.789 --> 00:19:27.869
able to notice in their child that there's some sort
338
00:19:27.890 --> 00:19:30.289
of change and that there's some sort of a problem.
339
00:19:32.430 --> 00:19:36.029
I think, well, yeah, that's one of the things that
340
00:19:36.670 --> 00:19:39.920
makes me most nervous about this thing is I You know,
341
00:19:40.220 --> 00:19:45.710
I know when kids become teenagers, they're less reliable when
342
00:19:45.750 --> 00:19:48.890
it comes to information, right, about how they're feeling and
343
00:19:48.910 --> 00:19:52.470
how things are going. But at the same time, it's
344
00:19:52.490 --> 00:19:54.799
just so hard for me to fathom my kid walking
345
00:19:54.900 --> 00:19:58.420
in from school and me not being able to tell
346
00:19:59.819 --> 00:20:02.420
that things have changed or have gotten to such a
347
00:20:02.460 --> 00:20:04.720
drastic point. You know, there has to be outbursts in
348
00:20:04.740 --> 00:20:06.829
the home, there has to be attitude, there has to
349
00:20:06.869 --> 00:20:10.710
be And at the end of the day, you come
350
00:20:10.750 --> 00:20:13.619
to the conclusion that there's a lot of kids out
351
00:20:13.650 --> 00:20:16.940
there without parents. Well, there might be parents in the home,
352
00:20:16.980 --> 00:20:20.799
but they're still without parents. Right. I think that's one
353
00:20:20.819 --> 00:20:24.059
of the big deals. Yeah, that's it. I mean, they're there,
354
00:20:24.099 --> 00:20:25.779
but they're not really there. I don't know how much
355
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:27.200
of them is there. I don't know what kind of
356
00:20:28.099 --> 00:20:33.660
attention they're paying to their kids because, you know, I
357
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:36.269
feel like you would do if your kid was experiencing depression.
358
00:20:36.650 --> 00:20:38.690
bullying to the degree that a lot of these guys
359
00:20:38.730 --> 00:20:41.430
were experiencing. I feel like if I were in their position,
360
00:20:41.470 --> 00:20:44.710
I'd do everything I could to take them out of
361
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:48.599
that situation. I mean, if you're sending your child to
362
00:20:48.619 --> 00:20:51.400
school to learn and he's getting bullied all the time,
363
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:54.859
I'm definitely not giving these guys a pass by any means,
364
00:20:54.940 --> 00:20:58.740
but I'm trying to put myself in the shoes of
365
00:20:58.789 --> 00:21:01.789
the parents and figure out what exactly would it take
366
00:21:01.809 --> 00:21:05.670
for me to be so disconnected that it could get
367
00:21:05.710 --> 00:21:07.690
to this point. Right.
368
00:21:07.710 --> 00:21:07.970
You know.
369
00:21:09.150 --> 00:21:09.369
Right.
370
00:21:09.670 --> 00:21:16.140
So and good. So from a I think from the
371
00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:20.960
standpoint of parents and the standpoint of almost the word
372
00:21:20.980 --> 00:21:25.960
that comes to mind is almost like counterintelligence. But I
373
00:21:26.019 --> 00:21:29.400
really like the idea. Right. To see something, say something idea.
374
00:21:29.420 --> 00:21:31.059
I think it makes a lot of sense. I think
375
00:21:31.099 --> 00:21:33.809
a lot of people are scared to do it. I
376
00:21:33.829 --> 00:21:36.000
think that fear will probably go away, though, right? What
377
00:21:36.019 --> 00:21:38.319
do you think about that? That sort of, I don't
378
00:21:38.339 --> 00:21:41.700
want to step on people's toes fear? Right.
379
00:21:41.779 --> 00:21:45.819
And we have the whole political correct aspect of it
380
00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:48.279
where we don't want to offend anybody.
381
00:21:48.940 --> 00:21:49.619
Right.
382
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:55.269
This is your personal safety. If somebody's offended, who cares?
383
00:21:56.170 --> 00:21:59.009
You know what? If somebody's offended, then that means you
384
00:21:59.089 --> 00:22:01.869
are living long enough to have somebody be offended by
385
00:22:01.910 --> 00:22:03.089
your actions, and that's good.
386
00:22:07.660 --> 00:22:07.920
Right.
387
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:10.160
Exactly. You know, you'd rather be, you know, rather not
388
00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:13.269
be dead and wish you had said something. Um, it's
389
00:22:13.309 --> 00:22:17.609
kind of like you don't let politically, don't let being
390
00:22:17.650 --> 00:22:21.589
politically correct in your life. Um, if you, if you
391
00:22:21.630 --> 00:22:24.539
see something, you know, and you feel like you need
392
00:22:24.579 --> 00:22:27.960
to say something, leave the situation like, you know, gosh,
393
00:22:28.019 --> 00:22:30.839
if you're in a grocery store and it's, you know,
394
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.750
85 degrees outside, um, And a guy comes in wearing
395
00:22:33.890 --> 00:22:36.230
shorts and a big puffy jacket and his hands are
396
00:22:36.269 --> 00:22:40.170
shoved down in the jacket. And he's sweating and he's
397
00:22:40.789 --> 00:22:45.089
mumbling to himself. That's a situation you probably need to
398
00:22:45.109 --> 00:22:48.079
get away from. You know, leave the store, grab your phone,
399
00:22:48.140 --> 00:22:50.880
call 911 and say, hey, there's a guy acting weird.
400
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:54.799
35 degrees, he's got a coat on, he's mumbling to himself,
401
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:58.579
you know... I got a feeling that this guy might
402
00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:00.869
have a gun or a weapon inside that coat that
403
00:23:00.890 --> 00:23:04.750
he's not– he doesn't want other people to see. So
404
00:23:04.789 --> 00:23:07.490
get out of the situation, call 911, and you know what?
405
00:23:07.529 --> 00:23:09.130
If it turns out to be nothing, it turns out
406
00:23:09.170 --> 00:23:12.759
to be nothing. I know plenty of law enforcement officers
407
00:23:12.779 --> 00:23:14.880
who say, call us. That is what we are there for.
408
00:23:14.900 --> 00:23:19.039
I'll tell you what, Andy. You bring up a topic
409
00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:24.460
that is really important right now. especially on the heels
410
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:26.509
because i can see sort of a sea change in
411
00:23:26.549 --> 00:23:31.349
how the police are being used already because as it
412
00:23:31.450 --> 00:23:34.250
typically happens people are being bullied out of their common
413
00:23:34.329 --> 00:23:38.599
sense i think back to the the issue with starbucks
414
00:23:39.779 --> 00:23:42.180
uh and the two black guys who were there you
415
00:23:42.220 --> 00:23:44.259
know and and the stink that got raised because of
416
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:47.900
that now starbucks in my opinion went Totally in the
417
00:23:47.940 --> 00:23:50.119
wrong direction. For those of you listening who don't know,
418
00:23:50.140 --> 00:23:51.680
now they're going to let anybody show up and just
419
00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:53.980
sit around in the restaurant. That's their answer to that problem.
420
00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:58.990
So that'll be great. But outside of that, I've seen
421
00:23:59.089 --> 00:24:01.910
several of these stories pop up now where people have
422
00:24:02.009 --> 00:24:08.210
called police on, you know, whoever. I mean, primarily, I'm
423
00:24:08.230 --> 00:24:11.230
not picking on anybody, but primarily these stories about minorities
424
00:24:11.259 --> 00:24:13.339
getting the police call on them, putting them in a
425
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:17.720
very uncomfortable situation that I can understand, right? I can
426
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:20.140
understand being a minority. I read one today about a
427
00:24:21.380 --> 00:24:24.269
younger black man who was inspecting a home for his
428
00:24:24.349 --> 00:24:27.009
job and the neighbor called him. I saw that, yeah.
429
00:24:27.430 --> 00:24:27.690
Yeah.
430
00:24:28.430 --> 00:24:33.730
Well, here's the problem. I mean, you know the problem.
431
00:24:33.750 --> 00:24:35.009
I don't have to say here's the problem like I'm
432
00:24:35.049 --> 00:24:39.019
giving the audience some brilliant revelation. Are we going to
433
00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:41.480
be a society that moves in the direction of, oh,
434
00:24:41.539 --> 00:24:44.619
I see some stranger outside of my neighbor's house. Back
435
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:48.569
to Yahtzee. Or are we going to be you know, uh, uh,
436
00:24:48.630 --> 00:24:50.710
people who are strong enough to say, oh, they made
437
00:24:50.750 --> 00:24:54.450
a mistake. You know, that was a mistake. It's, it's
438
00:24:54.509 --> 00:24:57.089
not an attack on me. It was a mistake. They
439
00:24:57.150 --> 00:24:59.329
seen something, they said something and it turned out it
440
00:24:59.369 --> 00:25:01.869
was nothing. I mean, I think that's who we need
441
00:25:01.890 --> 00:25:04.410
to be, you know? And, but I, but I can
442
00:25:04.549 --> 00:25:07.069
see the way things are going and the way that
443
00:25:07.109 --> 00:25:09.690
pop culture is, is moving the world. And it, it
444
00:25:09.779 --> 00:25:13.519
seems like people are probably going to do the opposite, unfortunately,
445
00:25:13.539 --> 00:25:15.259
which makes me even more nervous. You know, they're going
446
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.190
to see something and, and, Rather than call, they're going
447
00:25:18.210 --> 00:25:23.569
to make an excuse and say, well, that's probably nothing.
448
00:25:24.750 --> 00:25:27.359
And again, in an effort to make people feel comfortable.
449
00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:32.420
Yeah, we've just got to be intelligent about our safety
450
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:34.940
and about who we're letting get close to us and
451
00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:36.839
who we're surrounding ourselves with.
452
00:25:39.059 --> 00:25:42.710
I think you're 100% right. I think you're 100% right.
453
00:25:43.730 --> 00:25:46.049
Why don't you give us a little... Since we're a
454
00:25:46.049 --> 00:25:47.650
little short on time, why don't you give us a
455
00:25:47.750 --> 00:25:49.750
little bit about the book that's coming out?
456
00:25:50.589 --> 00:25:50.809
Sure.
457
00:25:50.849 --> 00:25:52.930
So that they know about that. I'm sure that's going
458
00:25:52.950 --> 00:25:56.420
to be a– this is a tool, guys. It's like
459
00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:58.619
anything else. It's like a book that I write. It's
460
00:25:58.640 --> 00:26:00.839
like a book, your favorite book that you turn to.
461
00:26:00.859 --> 00:26:04.240
What I can tell you is if you are– and
462
00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:06.559
I haven't done this personally. I'm just saying this out
463
00:26:07.740 --> 00:26:10.529
of sheer thought, and you can correct me if I'm wrong.
464
00:26:11.630 --> 00:26:14.079
But I imagine, folks, if you're looking to go out
465
00:26:14.099 --> 00:26:18.279
and get a book on increasing your personal awareness and
466
00:26:18.339 --> 00:26:22.420
personal safety and security, you're probably going to struggle to
467
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.640
find something that's relatively readable, that focuses on just that topic.
468
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:29.819
I mean, I'm sure you did a market study, and
469
00:26:29.859 --> 00:26:31.089
I'm sure you went out there to see what the
470
00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:33.210
competition would look like. And I have to imagine it
471
00:26:33.250 --> 00:26:40.430
was probably pretty reference-guidey, right? Probably pretty reference-based books, big-picture stuff.
472
00:26:40.450 --> 00:26:40.730
Right.
473
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:46.630
Yeah, there is a lot of theory out there. One book,
474
00:26:46.750 --> 00:26:48.490
you know, I'll talk about mine in just a second.
475
00:26:48.630 --> 00:26:51.369
One book that I really love and I use as
476
00:26:51.410 --> 00:26:54.089
a reference sometimes is a book called Left to Bang
477
00:26:54.670 --> 00:26:57.910
by Patrick Van Horn and Jason Riley. And it's actually
478
00:26:57.950 --> 00:27:03.460
written on the Marine Combat Hunter Program. And so I
479
00:27:03.539 --> 00:27:06.539
read this and it was made for security professionals and
480
00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:10.400
it is made for people who have had, you know,
481
00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:14.130
that mindset changed. But what I haven't seen, and this is, again,
482
00:27:14.170 --> 00:27:16.670
why I started Secure Dad, is stuff that is focused
483
00:27:16.710 --> 00:27:20.650
on families. And the book that's coming out is going
484
00:27:20.670 --> 00:27:24.039
to be called Home Security, The Secure Dad's Guide. And
485
00:27:24.210 --> 00:27:30.160
it's a reference for parents to be able to talk
486
00:27:30.220 --> 00:27:35.640
about and understand how their home can be vulnerable. The
487
00:27:35.700 --> 00:27:37.579
goal is to make sure that your house is not
488
00:27:37.619 --> 00:27:41.220
a target in the first place. then common sense ways
489
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:43.359
that you can fortify your home to make sure that
490
00:27:43.380 --> 00:27:45.660
nobody can, you know, break the window or kick the
491
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:49.480
door in. Then you're going to try to deter people
492
00:27:49.910 --> 00:27:52.789
from making sure that they don't ever even try to
493
00:27:53.650 --> 00:27:56.509
get into your house. And then what to do to
494
00:27:56.549 --> 00:28:01.029
defend yourself in a situation where maybe somebody does break in,
495
00:28:01.069 --> 00:28:06.339
maybe they are on some sort of narcotics, they're going crazy. It's,
496
00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:10.400
you know, the ex-husband of the family that lived there before.
497
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:14.980
He's coming back, you know, and he's got the wrong house.
498
00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:18.970
So it's really a book that looks at a layered
499
00:28:19.049 --> 00:28:22.569
home defense and how these things are easy, small steps
500
00:28:22.589 --> 00:28:25.470
that you can do, and you're not going to turn
501
00:28:25.509 --> 00:28:28.569
your house into a prison. You're not going to turn
502
00:28:28.589 --> 00:28:30.690
your house into that one on the block that nobody
503
00:28:30.710 --> 00:28:33.329
wants to walk by. A lot of things that I
504
00:28:33.369 --> 00:28:35.890
talk to people about is actually– You're going to make
505
00:28:35.910 --> 00:28:37.650
your home safer and you're going to make your curb
506
00:28:37.690 --> 00:28:40.880
appeal go up. One of the easiest things, and I'll
507
00:28:40.890 --> 00:28:42.779
tell this to your listeners, one of the easiest things
508
00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:45.259
I ever did to make my home safer was I
509
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:49.000
went to Amazon and I bought a dawn to dusk
510
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:51.980
light bulb. And I put that on my front porch.
511
00:28:52.569 --> 00:28:54.329
And the dawn to dusk light bulb has a little
512
00:28:54.349 --> 00:28:57.430
sensor that when it gets dark outside, the light bulb
513
00:28:57.470 --> 00:29:01.130
comes on. And so I lit up my main entryway.
514
00:29:01.980 --> 00:29:04.619
so that nobody can sneak to the bushes and then
515
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:07.740
sneak up the steps without being seen by somebody else.
516
00:29:09.279 --> 00:29:11.849
A thief's best friend is darkness. And if you can
517
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:14.289
take away darkness from the front of your home and
518
00:29:14.309 --> 00:29:17.150
from the back of your home, you're going to really
519
00:29:17.190 --> 00:29:19.569
dissuade somebody from wanting to come up and kick in
520
00:29:19.589 --> 00:29:25.089
your door. So for $ 12, the specialty light bulb, screw
521
00:29:25.109 --> 00:29:27.859
it in once, flip the switch and walk away. And
522
00:29:27.980 --> 00:29:30.500
that helps not only make your house safer, but also
523
00:29:30.579 --> 00:29:33.779
adds curb appeal because You're lighting up your home at night, and.
524
00:29:33.740 --> 00:29:40.309
It looks nice. Well, I like it. Did we lose you?
525
00:29:41.490 --> 00:29:42.930
No, I'm still here.
526
00:29:42.950 --> 00:29:45.890
Okay. Yeah, I mean, I like it. And like I said,
527
00:29:45.910 --> 00:29:49.279
I think it's a tough thing to find. You know,
528
00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:52.559
that's why your website stood out to me so much,
529
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:55.019
and that's why I think the book is going to
530
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:56.720
be a great read. I've got a copy, but like
531
00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:58.339
I said, I haven't got into it yet. I will
532
00:29:58.380 --> 00:30:01.950
certainly get into it. Because I'm a big fan of
533
00:30:02.009 --> 00:30:05.170
that layered approach to home security. I think that is
534
00:30:05.210 --> 00:30:09.750
the way to go. Big proponent of deter, deter, deter.
535
00:30:10.470 --> 00:30:12.809
I don't want to fight anybody in the middle of
536
00:30:12.829 --> 00:30:16.049
the night. I have no desire. Like I said, I
537
00:30:16.109 --> 00:30:18.809
am not a military guy who is ready and wants
538
00:30:18.869 --> 00:30:21.319
to pull the AR-15 out in the middle of the
539
00:30:21.380 --> 00:30:23.940
night and go hunt somebody. I just want them to
540
00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:25.980
walk by and go to the next place, you know?
541
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:28.720
So I love that approach. That's my....
542
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:31.759
Yeah, I talk to a lot of people, and a
543
00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:33.839
lot of people think that home security starts when something
544
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.069
goes wrong. And you can prevent things from going wrong.
545
00:30:37.109 --> 00:30:41.029
Do simple things. So, yeah, so the book is Home Security,
546
00:30:41.049 --> 00:30:44.109
The Secure Dad's Guide. It should be out June 5th
547
00:30:44.369 --> 00:30:44.950
on Amazon.
548
00:30:46.210 --> 00:30:47.769
June 5th, right around the corner.
549
00:30:48.690 --> 00:30:49.509
Right around the corner.
550
00:30:51.130 --> 00:30:53.539
Well, I'll tell you what, Andy. thanks so much for
551
00:30:53.579 --> 00:30:56.420
coming on. I think, uh, I don't know how many
552
00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:58.940
appearances and what kind of media you have lined up
553
00:30:58.980 --> 00:31:00.920
and stuff like that when the book does come out,
554
00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:02.460
but I'd love to have you back on so we
555
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:05.339
can really, really dig into this topic. Cause I know
556
00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:08.660
you have a lot more to give us on this one. Absolutely.
557
00:31:08.700 --> 00:31:08.960
I do.
558
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:13.440
All right. Excellent. Well, we'll be in touch, man. I
559
00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:16.599
know you got to go talk to a graphic designer, get.
560
00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:18.200
A nice, beautiful book.
561
00:31:19.420 --> 00:31:22.200
And that's going to be, uh, That's going to be great.
562
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:23.940
So looking forward to have you back on.
563
00:31:25.140 --> 00:31:25.440
All right.
564
00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:27.779
Thank you, James. I appreciate it, and I appreciate your
565
00:31:27.819 --> 00:31:30.079
listeners tuning in and letting me talk to them tonight.
566
00:31:31.029 --> 00:31:34.069
Thanks so much, Andy. We'll talk soon, man. All right, buddy.
567
00:31:34.109 --> 00:31:41.089
Have a good show. Have a good night. All right, folks. Thesecuredad.com. Again,
568
00:31:41.109 --> 00:31:46.559
that was Andy Murphy from thesecuredad.com. A little short on
569
00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:48.140
time tonight, but we're going to get him back on,
570
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:50.529
and we're going to really dig into– what it is
571
00:31:50.569 --> 00:31:53.109
we want to get into with him, because I'm very
572
00:31:53.170 --> 00:31:57.480
excited to see his thoughts on those things. Regarding school security,
573
00:31:58.319 --> 00:32:01.140
it is an answer. There's no getting around it. It
574
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:05.980
is most certainly an answer. And we've got a long
575
00:32:06.019 --> 00:32:08.650
way to go to hit all the answers and to
576
00:32:08.690 --> 00:32:11.549
get all the things that we need to get squared away.
577
00:32:12.869 --> 00:32:15.309
But I can tell you right now, that's something that
578
00:32:15.369 --> 00:32:17.880
is going to It's going to change the game if
579
00:32:17.900 --> 00:32:20.079
we can get buy-in, right? If we can get buy-in
580
00:32:20.099 --> 00:32:22.700
from all the schools. I've been trying to get a
581
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:27.829
hold of the company that builds the bulletproof shelters into
582
00:32:27.849 --> 00:32:32.930
the classrooms. Really a big fan of those. But, man,
583
00:32:32.950 --> 00:32:35.630
they're tough to get a hold of. I think they're
584
00:32:35.670 --> 00:32:39.400
probably in high demand right now, you know? So I
585
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:42.579
have to imagine that's part of the struggle. But I
586
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:44.160
just think that we can make a big difference with that.
587
00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:45.440
So.
588
00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:51.299
That said it's onward to the show, right? It feels
589
00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:53.000
like it's been a while since I've been on, but
590
00:32:54.140 --> 00:32:58.200
I'm guessing it's the same amount each week, right? Seven days.
591
00:32:59.160 --> 00:33:00.869
And I even got a show out before I headed
592
00:33:00.900 --> 00:33:04.390
off to PrepperCon. Look for a, look for a PrepperCon
593
00:33:04.410 --> 00:33:07.450
recap show. All right. I'm probably going to do that
594
00:33:07.490 --> 00:33:09.150
within the next couple of days, really give you a
595
00:33:09.190 --> 00:33:12.529
big chunk of what's, what it was all about and
596
00:33:12.549 --> 00:33:16.660
what was going on there. Uh, Why don't we do this?
597
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:21.539
Why don't we do some commercials? We'll come back, we'll
598
00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:23.980
re-rev the engine, and we'll go into what it is
599
00:33:24.009 --> 00:33:26.009
we're going into tonight. We're still going to talk a
600
00:33:26.009 --> 00:33:27.670
little bit about security. Let me talk to you about
601
00:33:27.690 --> 00:33:31.269
what I have on deck here. I've got two countries,
602
00:33:32.670 --> 00:33:38.309
Sweden and another one up there. I don't remember which
603
00:33:38.390 --> 00:33:41.549
one it is. And I want to talk about two
604
00:33:41.589 --> 00:33:45.289
incredibly different and diverse things that they're doing. Sweden is
605
00:33:45.349 --> 00:33:52.569
creating a government-style preparedness process for the people. And I
606
00:33:52.609 --> 00:33:55.410
really want to talk about that because that's something that's
607
00:33:55.450 --> 00:33:59.329
very exciting. The contest is over. It was a poorly
608
00:33:59.390 --> 00:34:01.349
run contest. You can blame that on me, but I
609
00:34:01.390 --> 00:34:04.380
did run a contest over the last two weeks. I'll
610
00:34:04.390 --> 00:34:06.759
be 100% honest with you. I was really just trying
611
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:09.739
to see if this contest software that I was using
612
00:34:09.780 --> 00:34:12.639
was worth its weight in gold, and I think it is.
613
00:34:13.670 --> 00:34:15.210
Because I'm going to be doing a lot more reviews
614
00:34:15.250 --> 00:34:20.989
of gear for shtfpreparatist.com and their YouTube channel. I'll get
615
00:34:21.010 --> 00:34:23.010
you guys the link once we start posting videos because
616
00:34:23.030 --> 00:34:26.760
they're going to be fun videos. So I wanted to
617
00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:29.300
make sure that as this flow of, because the good
618
00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:31.960
news is your host gets to keep all the stuff too.
619
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:33.980
So I wanted to make sure that as this stuff
620
00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:35.920
starts to pile up, I have a method to get
621
00:34:36.179 --> 00:34:38.150
the things that I maybe don't want to keep out.
622
00:34:39.150 --> 00:34:41.889
Which is great news for you guys because that means
623
00:34:41.909 --> 00:34:43.989
you're going to get all kinds of cool stuff uh
624
00:34:44.030 --> 00:34:47.159
through giveaways but we got a bunch of stuff to
625
00:34:47.219 --> 00:34:48.679
talk about again i want to talk to you about
626
00:34:49.420 --> 00:34:53.039
a little bit of a a little bit of a
627
00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:56.980
change in what the show content is i want your
628
00:34:57.019 --> 00:35:02.639

soon as we get back on ready network and something
631
00:35:08.219 --> 00:35:10.510
that i found at preppercon that i just it I'm
632
00:35:10.570 --> 00:35:12.309
not here to bash anybody, but I need to tell

you guys about it because I brought you guys into it.
634
00:35:15.469 --> 00:35:18.889
And a lot of other stuff, man. We've got all
635
00:35:18.929 --> 00:35:20.190
kinds of stuff to talk about. I want to talk
636
00:35:20.210 --> 00:35:22.820
to you about the MHA Bushcrafter Survival Kit that I

have sitting here next to me that I haven't even
638
00:35:24.760 --> 00:35:29.340
opened yet. So we will get into all that, but
639
00:35:29.380 --> 00:35:32.530

00:37:01.989 --> 00:37:04.269
and bug-out bags or just to keep around the house.
667
00:37:04.570 --> 00:37:08.329
For example, one of our TriPaks includes an antibiotic herbal tea,
668
00:37:08.590 --> 00:37:11.769
an herbal tea for pain, and an immune booster herbal tea.
669
00:37:12.110 --> 00:37:15.480
LumaTea is a must for every prepper and household. See

672
00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:25.929
If you're off the grid by choice or by disaster,
673
00:37:26.309 --> 00:37:29.969
you need a Greenovative GMAG portable power cell. This amazing
674
00:37:30.050 --> 00:37:35.070
saltwater or biofuel activated device makes power anytime, anywhere, in any.
675
00:37:34.949 --> 00:37:36.110
Weather, day or night.
676
00:37:36.590 --> 00:37:38.449
Simply add a little bit of salt and water or
677
00:37:38.630 --> 00:37:42.000
urine to the unit and it instantly makes electricity. GMAG
678
00:37:42.039 --> 00:37:45.599

00:37:48.619 --> 00:37:52.989
unlimited number of batteries. Get yours at GreenEvative.com and when
681
00:37:53.030 --> 00:37:54.510
you need it, you'll be glad you did.
682
00:38:19.469 --> 00:38:24.110
The power of music is unbelievable. I can't say to
683
00:38:25.670 --> 00:38:29.719
what degree it affects other people, to what degree that
684
00:38:29.739 --> 00:38:33.179
it grabs people the way that it grabs me. It's
685
00:38:33.219 --> 00:38:36.559
an amazing thing. That's all I have to say about it.
686
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:38.230
I just hope it hits you the way it hits me,
687
00:38:38.280 --> 00:38:41.559
because good God. I was listening to Meshuggah when I
688
00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:45.010
was working out last week. No, last night. What am
689
00:38:45.030 --> 00:38:45.809
I talking about? Last week.
690
00:38:47.269 --> 00:38:47.719
And, uh.
691
00:38:47.730 --> 00:38:49.909
I don't know if you guys are familiar with them.
692
00:38:51.369 --> 00:38:55.949
Brutal Swedish metal band. I think they're from Sweden. Yeah. Uh...
693
00:38:56.909 --> 00:39:00.050
it just turns you on. It just gets the, it
694
00:39:00.130 --> 00:39:02.960
gets those last reps out. It gets all that. It's just,
695
00:39:03.880 --> 00:39:06.019
it's like a freight train of inspiration. What can I say?
696
00:39:06.659 --> 00:39:10.599
So let's do some announcements real quick. I just threw
697
00:39:10.619 --> 00:39:12.659
a link up in the chat room. Anybody who wants
698
00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:17.090
to take a look at that video I threw in
699
00:39:17.130 --> 00:39:19.869
the chat room, that's sort of my little ode to
700
00:39:19.909 --> 00:39:23.090
PrepperCon that I put together on YouTube. It's just a quick,
701
00:39:23.289 --> 00:39:26.880
I don't know, 10 minute video, something like that. David
702
00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:30.039
Jones is on there from our Saturday night show. if
703
00:39:30.059 --> 00:39:32.139
you want to see him and see him in action live.
704
00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:35.400
It's just me getting around the show, me doing some hiking,
705
00:39:35.420 --> 00:39:38.539
that type of thing. But there's some good music on
706
00:39:38.579 --> 00:39:43.949
that one, too. That said, let's talk about some things
707
00:39:43.969 --> 00:39:46.510
because we've got some things to talk about, right? Still
708
00:39:47.010 --> 00:39:51.110
have to give kudos to Colga Silver. Our sponsor still
709
00:39:51.150 --> 00:39:56.489
this month, Koga Silver, Prepper Silver, breakable sheet. I finally
710
00:39:56.530 --> 00:39:59.380
got mine. I was waiting and waiting and waiting to
711
00:39:59.420 --> 00:40:03.840
see these things in real life. And they are phenomenal.
712
00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:07.460
Break apart into quarter ounce, half ounce, one ounce pieces.
713
00:40:10.690 --> 00:40:12.769
I don't want to beat the drum. It's the perfect
714
00:40:12.809 --> 00:40:15.429
silver for Preppers. That's what it is. Either you're into
715
00:40:15.469 --> 00:40:16.829
that sort of thing and you're going to go check
716
00:40:16.849 --> 00:40:18.809
it out. If you use the promo code IAMLIBERTY, then
717
00:40:18.829 --> 00:40:22.929
you're going to get $ 5 off. If you think that
718
00:40:22.949 --> 00:40:24.969
you're going to use silver in a collapse situation or
719
00:40:25.010 --> 00:40:27.590
if you're a big fan of collecting silver, you want
720
00:40:27.610 --> 00:40:34.019
to go grab this stuff. It's awesome. Another sponsor, MHA Bushcrafter.
721
00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:38.980
MHA Bushcrafter with a K. Check it out on Amazon.
722
00:40:40.260 --> 00:40:44.380
What I like about this kit is... Very reluctant, right?
723
00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:46.679
I've been very reluctant to talk about a kit, to
724
00:40:47.059 --> 00:40:49.920
back a survival kit, because it's one of those things,
725
00:40:49.940 --> 00:40:52.219
you know what I mean? You can't walk away from it,
726
00:40:52.940 --> 00:40:55.889
you know? And if you get something and you find out,
727
00:40:55.949 --> 00:40:58.409
oh man, this thing's no good, then all of a
728
00:40:58.429 --> 00:40:59.769
sudden you put your name on it, you put the
729
00:40:59.809 --> 00:41:03.210
show's name on it and that type of thing. Well,
730
00:41:03.750 --> 00:41:07.550
the story with the MAJ Bushcrafter is it was a job.
731
00:41:08.289 --> 00:41:10.530
It was a client through Upwork that I was talking
732
00:41:10.570 --> 00:41:14.440
to about something completely different. It was just a totally
733
00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:16.079
different job. I don't really want to go into it,
734
00:41:16.099 --> 00:41:19.000
but we linked up, and there's always opportunity. I mean,
735
00:41:19.039 --> 00:41:23.019
I can't drive that home more. If you have a
736
00:41:23.480 --> 00:41:25.940
chance to talk to somebody in your line of business,
737
00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:28.760
even if it's about something totally different and non-beneficial, there's
738
00:41:28.860 --> 00:41:31.699
always opportunity. So long story short, we have a talk,
739
00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:34.949
and we find out that we can do business together. Craig,
740
00:41:35.010 --> 00:41:37.809
thank you so much. The ad's up on the I
741
00:41:37.829 --> 00:41:39.650
Am Liberty show if you want to check out pictures
742
00:41:39.690 --> 00:41:43.880
of the thing. You can also go to WGBushcraft.com. Again,
743
00:41:43.909 --> 00:41:47.360
it's called the MHA Bushcrafter, and it's not a bag.
744
00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:53.539
It's not a backpack. It's not a thin, cheap sling
745
00:41:53.579 --> 00:41:55.719
that's full of a bunch of crap that's going to
746
00:41:55.780 --> 00:42:00.360
fall apart on you. This bag was put together, and
747
00:42:00.380 --> 00:42:03.429
it was inspired by a man named Myron H. Avery.
748
00:42:04.949 --> 00:42:07.349
He was an Appalachian Trail pioneer. He was a guy
749
00:42:07.369 --> 00:42:13.780
who basically blazed. the Appalachian Trail, if you will. All right,
750
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:16.400
so we're talking, and it was put together based on, well,
751
00:42:16.420 --> 00:42:18.579
he's family of the man who created it, and he
752
00:42:18.639 --> 00:42:21.460
has all of his journals. And he read all of
753
00:42:21.500 --> 00:42:26.489
his journals, and he looked at what Myron went through
754
00:42:28.230 --> 00:42:31.789
as they put together the Appalachian Trail and realized that
755
00:42:31.869 --> 00:42:34.070
these are the things that he needed. These are the
756
00:42:34.110 --> 00:42:37.590
things that people will need. You know, it's not... What
757
00:42:37.630 --> 00:42:39.809
it's not is a kit that is going to prepare
758
00:42:39.849 --> 00:42:45.550
you for every end of the world situation. You know,
759
00:42:45.570 --> 00:42:48.210
because first of all, that's something that's impossible for a
760
00:42:48.250 --> 00:42:50.670
kit to do, right? There's no kit out there that's
761
00:42:50.690 --> 00:42:55.940
going to prepare you for all that. This thing is
762
00:42:56.000 --> 00:43:00.039
filled with quality products, number one, right? So it's not
763
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:03.159
just a bunch of junk thrown into a backpack, right?
764
00:43:03.619 --> 00:43:07.059
It comes in a great package. Rolled up carrier, right?
765
00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:10.619
A custom 1,000 denier nylon versatile carrier that can be
766
00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:14.250
worn as a sling or worn around your belt, which
767
00:43:14.269 --> 00:43:18.130
is another reason why I like it. And it's got
768
00:43:18.690 --> 00:43:22.809
over 15 essential survival items, right? First aid, shelter, fire, water,
769
00:43:22.949 --> 00:43:26.920
forging needs. It's got a great first aid kit in it,
770
00:43:26.949 --> 00:43:31.889
a good full tang knife. There's nothing in here that
771
00:43:31.929 --> 00:43:36.320
is a throwaway. Right? 550 cord. It even has an awl.
772
00:43:36.340 --> 00:43:39.650
It comes with an awl in it. Waterproof lighter. Yes,
773
00:43:39.949 --> 00:43:43.550
a waterproof lighter. It has a ferro rod, too, but
774
00:43:43.590 --> 00:43:47.449
it also has a lighter. Why? Because these things work.
775
00:43:49.210 --> 00:43:51.650
These things work. The other great thing about it, it
776
00:43:51.690 --> 00:43:55.489
comes with a canteen. Let me see if I can
777
00:43:55.510 --> 00:43:59.489
find out how big that thing is. I'm looking over
778
00:43:59.530 --> 00:44:00.090
to see.
779
00:44:03.980 --> 00:44:06.340
It will attach to your molly. That's another big one.
780
00:44:07.420 --> 00:44:11.360
But it comes with a stainless steel canteen that you
781
00:44:11.380 --> 00:44:12.800
can boil water in. I wanted to see if I
782
00:44:12.820 --> 00:44:17.920
could find out. Here it is. Contained in an 18x8
783
00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:24.219
single-walled stainless steel bottle. So, good to know. Good things.
784
00:44:24.780 --> 00:44:28.280
The MHA Bushcrafter. Check them out. Listen, it's not the
785
00:44:28.340 --> 00:44:31.510
cheapest survival kit out there. It's built with good stuff,
786
00:44:31.530 --> 00:44:33.360
and you've got to pay for good stuff. It's not
787
00:44:33.380 --> 00:44:36.519
going to break the bank, but it's what I'm going
788
00:44:36.539 --> 00:44:37.420
to do. You want to know what I'm going to
789
00:44:37.460 --> 00:44:40.840
do with mine? I'll tell you right now. It's going
790
00:44:40.880 --> 00:44:43.280
to get slid into a bug out bag. It's going
791
00:44:43.300 --> 00:44:45.840
to get slid into a hunting bag when I go out. Why?
792
00:44:45.900 --> 00:44:48.530
Because I know it meets all the needs for wilderness survival.
793
00:44:49.250 --> 00:44:53.090
All right. MHA Bushcrafter with a K. Go to the website.
794
00:44:53.110 --> 00:44:57.469
You can click to the link IamLibertyShow.com or just go
795
00:44:57.489 --> 00:45:05.469
to WGBushcraft with a K.com. I think that's it. That's
796
00:45:05.530 --> 00:45:09.340
it on the people supporting the show. Listen, these people
797
00:45:09.400 --> 00:45:14.280
support the show. They support me. They make sure that
798
00:45:14.300 --> 00:45:16.280
I get to do what I do. So if you
799
00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:20.780
guys hear something you like, listen. I know we live
800
00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:22.900
in an age of free media and free everything and
801
00:45:22.940 --> 00:45:26.809
free music and free this and free that. I don't
802
00:45:26.829 --> 00:45:29.750
know what to tell you. I'm going to keep doing this,
803
00:45:29.789 --> 00:45:31.190
and I'll figure out a way to make it work,
804
00:45:31.230 --> 00:45:33.250
but it sure is more comfortable if you support the
805
00:45:33.289 --> 00:45:36.849
sponsors here at PrepperBroadcasting.com and also the sponsors for the
806
00:45:36.929 --> 00:45:40.210
I Am Liberty show. I'll leave it at that. I'll
807
00:45:40.230 --> 00:45:43.320
never bully into anything. In fact, our next order of
808
00:45:43.380 --> 00:45:47.099
business is very important. This is a very important business,
809
00:45:47.139 --> 00:45:50.840
and I have to walk back on something. I have
810
00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:53.360
to walk back on something so that you guys know
811
00:45:53.380 --> 00:45:57.750
that Hold on one second. Al Preparing says, do you
812
00:45:57.769 --> 00:46:04.730
believe Kogel would be recognized as readily as pre-64 90% silver? Man,
813
00:46:04.769 --> 00:46:07.429
let me shoot you an article, Al. I hope I remember.
814
00:46:07.730 --> 00:46:11.789
But let me shoot you an article. There are various
815
00:46:11.849 --> 00:46:15.940
ways of testing silver. But I do hold issue with
816
00:46:16.019 --> 00:46:18.500
pre-64 junk silver. If you guys want to get into
817
00:46:18.539 --> 00:46:20.340
a talk on junk silver, we can do that. But
818
00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:24.000
let me just get this one thing out of the way. Okay? Okay.
819
00:46:24.949 --> 00:46:26.610
Let me get this one thing out of the way,
820
00:46:27.650 --> 00:46:31.869
because it's a mistake that I made, and it's a
821
00:46:31.949 --> 00:46:35.690
risk that I put you guys into. And you folks
822
00:46:35.730 --> 00:46:37.210
in the chat room might not have went for it,
823
00:46:37.230 --> 00:46:42.289
but somebody listening to the show may have gone for it.
824
00:46:43.880 --> 00:46:48.059
Let me bring the website up real quick. ReadyNetwork, I
825
00:46:48.119 --> 00:46:51.340
think it is, dot com. You may remember, hopefully you
826
00:46:51.380 --> 00:46:53.480
guys just brushed me off and said James is such
827
00:46:53.519 --> 00:46:56.780
a flake. He's always talking about something he wants to do,
828
00:46:56.900 --> 00:46:59.500
start a business, start a podcast, take a risk, whatever.
829
00:46:59.539 --> 00:47:02.300
That's my thing, right? I believe in it. I believe
830
00:47:02.320 --> 00:47:06.519
in it because it's changed my life. You know, I
831
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:08.659
still get mad. I still get frustrated with life. I
832
00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:13.210
still yell at my kids and all that stuff. ZTA3 said, P-Power.
833
00:47:13.250 --> 00:47:17.869
That's hilarious. But I just want you to know things
834
00:47:17.909 --> 00:47:25.750
have changed, right? Things have changed. I came across a company. Well, actually,
835
00:47:25.769 --> 00:47:29.190
they came across me on LinkedIn. They sent me a
836
00:47:29.250 --> 00:47:34.449
message about my profile. And the company's called ReadyNetwork.com. And
837
00:47:34.469 --> 00:47:38.139
I was very excited when I ran into ReadyNetwork for
838
00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:40.159
when they ran into me. I said, this is going
839
00:47:40.179 --> 00:47:41.300
to be an option and this is going to be
840
00:47:41.320 --> 00:47:43.659
an opportunity. And I think it's going to be an
841
00:47:43.719 --> 00:47:49.429
opportunity for several reasons. Not just one reason. I think
842
00:47:49.449 --> 00:47:51.269
this is going to be an opportunity for the listeners.
843
00:47:51.780 --> 00:47:53.090
To make some money, I think it's going to be
844
00:47:53.110 --> 00:47:55.110
an opportunity for me to make money. It could be
845
00:47:55.130 --> 00:47:58.969
a sponsor for Prepper Broadcasting. All those things came to mind,
846
00:47:58.989 --> 00:48:02.670
you know? Because that's what I am. I'm an opportunist.
847
00:48:03.869 --> 00:48:05.730
I mean, I don't know any other way to say it.
848
00:48:05.750 --> 00:48:08.909
That sounds bad, and that's a bad thing, but I
849
00:48:08.949 --> 00:48:13.989
see opportunity in everything, right? I came on the show.
850
00:48:15.610 --> 00:48:20.889
I said, we have a network marketing company here. You know...
851
00:48:21.869 --> 00:48:23.530
One of the more popular ones you might know is
852
00:48:23.570 --> 00:48:25.530
like an Avon or something like that, right? We have
853
00:48:25.550 --> 00:48:30.630
a network marketing company here that is based on preparedness.
854
00:48:30.750 --> 00:48:33.550
It's based on survival, right? And the way you get
855
00:48:33.590 --> 00:48:35.449
into this thing is you buy a bag and you
856
00:48:35.489 --> 00:48:38.510
could sell that bag and you make pretty good money
857
00:48:38.570 --> 00:48:40.300
off of it. I think you buy the bag for
858
00:48:40.300 --> 00:48:45.800
$ 500 and you sell the bag for $ 800 or something
859
00:48:45.840 --> 00:48:47.820
to that effect, right? I don't know all the numbers.
860
00:48:49.369 --> 00:48:51.050
I don't know what people are willing to pay for
861
00:48:51.070 --> 00:48:52.610
that sort of thing because I want to build mine
862
00:48:52.650 --> 00:48:55.059
from the ground up. That's just me. But I know
863
00:48:55.079 --> 00:48:56.719
there's a lot of people out there who listen and
864
00:48:56.739 --> 00:49:00.460
a lot of people out there who just say, I
865
00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:04.079
want to be prepared. I don't want to think about it.
866
00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:06.519
Just give me a bag. Just give me a bag.
867
00:49:06.559 --> 00:49:08.409
I'll pay $ 800 for it and then I'll be done.
868
00:49:08.429 --> 00:49:14.269
I'll be ready. So Ready Network was at PrepperCon. I
869
00:49:14.309 --> 00:49:17.369
walked in. I did about two laps around PrepperCon before
870
00:49:17.409 --> 00:49:19.429
I even got my head into it because there were
871
00:49:19.469 --> 00:49:22.090
so many people to see. And, you know, for me,
872
00:49:23.010 --> 00:49:27.750
not only is it awesome, right, because it's super exciting.
873
00:49:27.829 --> 00:49:32.190
It's all kinds of fun, right? I got to memorize
874
00:49:32.250 --> 00:49:34.710
the class listings. I got to memorize where all the
875
00:49:34.769 --> 00:49:37.989
cool vendors are just for my own personal enjoyment, right?
876
00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:42.250
Then I got to break that information down into, all right,
877
00:49:42.269 --> 00:49:44.570
who am I going to make money off of? Who
878
00:49:44.590 --> 00:49:46.670
am I going to get something cool to take home from?
879
00:49:47.289 --> 00:49:50.670
All this stuff. And when I seen Ready Network, I said, okay,
880
00:49:50.690 --> 00:49:52.840
this is great. This is great. We're going to talk.
881
00:49:53.260 --> 00:49:55.340
First day, I didn't talk to them, right? I said,
882
00:49:55.360 --> 00:49:58.039
all right, I'll get them on day two. Because the
883
00:49:58.079 --> 00:49:59.679
first day, I really did spend a lot of time
884
00:49:59.719 --> 00:50:05.070
just sucking it all in. Now, ZTA says I've lost
885
00:50:05.150 --> 00:50:09.420
friends over not joining their MLM thing. That's not cool. Well,
886
00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:11.650
you know what, ZTA, that probably is cool. They probably
887
00:50:11.670 --> 00:50:16.469
weren't good friends anyway. So let's get right to it, okay?
888
00:50:16.489 --> 00:50:18.630
I walk up to the Ready Network booth day two.
889
00:50:19.230 --> 00:50:23.599
I just got out of a class. I'm all charged up,
890
00:50:23.659 --> 00:50:24.619
and I say, you know what, I'm going to go
891
00:50:24.639 --> 00:50:26.920
talk to these guys. We're going to set up a
892
00:50:26.960 --> 00:50:29.440
time to meet and talk, and we're going to do business.
893
00:50:29.480 --> 00:50:32.210
And that's what I did with a few people there.
894
00:50:35.579 --> 00:50:37.780
And the booth was crowded, another good sign. I said,
895
00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:39.159
all right, I know they got a lot of money.
896
00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:42.500
One of the things about the writing business is you
897
00:50:42.539 --> 00:50:49.099
have to judge your clients based on perceived profits, perceived
898
00:50:49.320 --> 00:50:51.260
sort of caddy. How much money do these people have
899
00:50:51.300 --> 00:50:53.980
to pay me, really? So if I go talk to
900
00:50:54.019 --> 00:50:57.449
a blogger who just put a blog up a month
901
00:50:57.510 --> 00:50:59.469
ago and he says, man, I need some blog content.
902
00:50:59.489 --> 00:51:02.769
What can you do for me? It's a very different conversation.
903
00:51:04.250 --> 00:51:06.250
that you have in a very different dollar value in
904
00:51:06.289 --> 00:51:08.070
mind than when you talk to a company like ready
905
00:51:08.130 --> 00:51:11.190
network who has a thousand people buying in and they're
906
00:51:11.230 --> 00:51:14.269
all selling products and they have multiple employees and you
907
00:51:14.289 --> 00:51:17.670
know it's it's a corporation so it's a company that's
908
00:51:17.690 --> 00:51:20.909
worth a lot of money so i go up and
909
00:51:20.929 --> 00:51:24.139
talk to them or with the intent to talk to
910
00:51:24.179 --> 00:51:27.260
them and they're busy they're talking to people you know
911
00:51:27.320 --> 00:51:29.380
people want to make money there's no getting around it
912
00:51:29.420 --> 00:51:30.880
people want to find a way to make a little
913
00:51:30.900 --> 00:51:32.820
extra money or they want to change careers to make
914
00:51:32.880 --> 00:51:39.150
money Whatever it is. I'm adjusting my microphone. They have
915
00:51:39.190 --> 00:51:43.429
all their products splayed across the table, right? Showing off
916
00:51:43.469 --> 00:51:47.530
all their products. What was the first thing I saw?
917
00:51:47.909 --> 00:51:52.159
I think the first thing I saw was an axe
918
00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:56.280
hammer combo. It was like a hatchet. A rounded hatchet
919
00:51:56.340 --> 00:52:04.849
hammer combo. And it was made of galvanized aluminum it
920
00:52:04.889 --> 00:52:08.630
looked like now don't quote me listen ready network please
921
00:52:08.789 --> 00:52:11.710
don't get upset and don't sue me over this or
922
00:52:11.750 --> 00:52:15.110
anything stupid I just have to be honest with my
923
00:52:15.170 --> 00:52:18.289
listeners okay this is not a hit piece on ready
924
00:52:18.329 --> 00:52:22.289
network this is my honest perception my honest opinion on
925
00:52:22.329 --> 00:52:26.710
what I saw okay I would gladly have anybody from
926
00:52:26.750 --> 00:52:30.219
ready network on to talk about what it is you
927
00:52:30.260 --> 00:52:34.579
do offer and And give your side of things. But
928
00:52:34.599 --> 00:52:36.019
I have to be honest and I have to have
929
00:52:36.059 --> 00:52:39.619
my integrity with the listening audience. I see this thing
930
00:52:39.659 --> 00:52:42.070
made out of galvanized aluminum is what it looked like
931
00:52:42.110 --> 00:52:45.429
to me. You know that kind of powdered metal look?
932
00:52:45.489 --> 00:52:50.170
The kind of metal that I've broken before by accident.
933
00:52:52.309 --> 00:52:56.420
The kind of metal that I've literally broken with my
934
00:52:56.500 --> 00:53:01.070
own human force. And I'm not a big guy. I'm
935
00:53:01.090 --> 00:53:03.650
not even a super strong guy. But I've broken that
936
00:53:03.730 --> 00:53:08.059
type of what it looked like to me. So I
937
00:53:08.099 --> 00:53:10.360
have a hammer and I have an axe and I'm
938
00:53:10.440 --> 00:53:13.739
nervous about it. I look at the thing and I
939
00:53:13.820 --> 00:53:19.519
say to myself, I don't know about that. So immediately
940
00:53:19.539 --> 00:53:21.610
that leads me to look at other things a little closer.
941
00:53:23.550 --> 00:53:27.030
So I go to the compass. And the compass is
942
00:53:27.070 --> 00:53:33.460
a closed... It's the military-style compass. Why am I drawing
943
00:53:33.500 --> 00:53:37.199
a blank on the type of compass? It has a name.
944
00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:39.800
You guys know it. The way you utilize the compass
945
00:53:39.820 --> 00:53:43.599
is by opening it and staring through it and lining the...
946
00:53:44.380 --> 00:53:46.619
Usually it's a piece of metal. You line that up
947
00:53:46.659 --> 00:53:50.059
with the compass itself. Come on, chat room. Somebody help
948
00:53:50.079 --> 00:53:51.559
me with the type of compass. It's going to drive
949
00:53:51.579 --> 00:53:54.420
me crazy. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? Anyway,
950
00:53:54.880 --> 00:53:58.699
typically these guys are housed in a metal casing. Lensatic.
951
00:53:58.760 --> 00:54:02.699
Thank you. The lensatic compass. Typically housed in a metal casing.
952
00:54:03.300 --> 00:54:05.579
You usually put out pretty decent money for one of them.
953
00:54:05.639 --> 00:54:09.460
I did, right? I wanted a good quality one. So
954
00:54:09.500 --> 00:54:19.380
I picked the lensatic compass up. Compass itself didn't look bad. Right?
955
00:54:19.820 --> 00:54:22.550
The compass itself didn't look too bad, but it was
956
00:54:22.630 --> 00:54:28.090
housed in a plastic case. And it was a cheap
957
00:54:28.150 --> 00:54:37.289
looking plastic case. Right? I mean, almost like something you
958
00:54:37.329 --> 00:54:42.849
would give to your kid. So then my heart started beating.
959
00:54:43.809 --> 00:54:43.909
Right?
960
00:54:43.929 --> 00:54:47.909
Because now I'm understanding what I'm seeing. And I go
961
00:54:47.949 --> 00:54:50.309
down the table and I start looking at other things.
962
00:54:51.309 --> 00:54:56.070
And listen, I'm going to be honest with you. It's
963
00:54:56.230 --> 00:54:59.449
not good stuff. It's not high quality stuff in my opinion.
964
00:55:01.090 --> 00:55:02.510
And I don't know how much trouble this can get
965
00:55:02.550 --> 00:55:04.210
me in, but you have to understand, and like I said,
966
00:55:04.250 --> 00:55:05.929
Ready Network, you can come on and argue this if
967
00:55:05.969 --> 00:55:09.880
you want. I need to be honest with you guys
968
00:55:09.929 --> 00:55:11.800
because I got on this show and said that Ready
969
00:55:11.840 --> 00:55:13.940
Network would be a good way for you to make money.
970
00:55:14.280 --> 00:55:16.239
I said it'd be a really cool opportunity for you
971
00:55:16.260 --> 00:55:17.820
to go out there and make money and to sell
972
00:55:17.880 --> 00:55:20.420
products to people around you, maybe set up booths at
973
00:55:20.980 --> 00:55:23.710
events somewhere, if that's the thing that you might be into.
974
00:55:25.469 --> 00:55:30.500
And listen, at the end of the day, At the
975
00:55:30.559 --> 00:55:33.139
end of the day, having those products is probably better
976
00:55:33.159 --> 00:55:36.909
than not having any products, I guess. Having that level
977
00:55:36.949 --> 00:55:39.190
of preparedness might be better than not having any. I
978
00:55:39.210 --> 00:55:41.949
don't know. But I can tell you right now, I
979
00:55:41.989 --> 00:55:45.389
looked over the stuff on the table, and I'm just
980
00:55:45.409 --> 00:55:50.110
going to be honest, my heart dropped. I felt an
981
00:55:50.150 --> 00:55:56.010
immediate letdown, and it almost terrified me. It almost terrified
982
00:55:56.030 --> 00:55:57.869
me because I was thinking to myself, there's somebody out
983
00:55:57.889 --> 00:56:01.099
there who signed up for this thing. Even if one
984
00:56:01.139 --> 00:56:04.440
of you signed up for this thing and got one
985
00:56:04.460 --> 00:56:07.500
of those bags and paid $ 500 for that bag and
986
00:56:08.300 --> 00:56:09.900
emptied it out, and I know the people who listen
987
00:56:09.940 --> 00:56:11.420
to this show, if you had seen the stuff that
988
00:56:11.480 --> 00:56:17.690
I've seen, you'd have been very upset. So I'm hoping
989
00:56:17.710 --> 00:56:20.329
that you didn't go down that path. If you do
990
00:56:20.429 --> 00:56:22.829
still want to do it, feel free. If you want
991
00:56:22.869 --> 00:56:25.309
to do that, if you want to get involved in that,
992
00:56:25.349 --> 00:56:31.329
that's completely fine. I can't do it. I'm not holding
993
00:56:31.349 --> 00:56:33.150
you against anybody who wants to do it and who
994
00:56:33.170 --> 00:56:35.150
wants to make a living. They also do other things.
995
00:56:35.610 --> 00:56:38.179
Ready Network, they have a silver program, which you really
996
00:56:38.199 --> 00:56:43.039
can't mess up. They sell coffee. They sell seeds. So
997
00:56:43.139 --> 00:56:46.460
it's not to say that Ready Network is not an
998
00:56:46.519 --> 00:56:49.510
opportunity for you, but the survival bag is filled with
999
00:56:49.619 --> 00:56:55.730
less than optimal survival gear. I mean, really, survival gear
1000
00:56:55.750 --> 00:56:59.710
that is lackluster, in my opinion. And I just want
1001
00:56:59.730 --> 00:57:02.030
you to know that because if you get latched onto
1002
00:57:02.070 --> 00:57:04.829
this company, you're going to have to sell the stuff.
1003
00:57:04.909 --> 00:57:06.610
You're going to have to get behind it and say
1004
00:57:06.630 --> 00:57:09.570
to yourself, this is a good lens that I encompass.
1005
00:57:09.730 --> 00:57:11.449
Even though it looks like something that I'd give to
1006
00:57:11.510 --> 00:57:14.590
my nephew, I'm going to give it to this person.
1007
00:57:15.900 --> 00:57:17.280
And there were a lot of weird things in there.
1008
00:57:17.320 --> 00:57:18.619
I'm not going to go into it because it's not
1009
00:57:18.639 --> 00:57:21.219
a hit piece on Ready Network. For the most part,
1010
00:57:21.260 --> 00:57:24.019
they're doing a good thing. And they're doing good business.
1011
00:57:24.059 --> 00:57:25.699
And I talked to some of the reps and they're
1012
00:57:25.739 --> 00:57:29.050
making all right money. And it may be something you
1013
00:57:29.070 --> 00:57:31.159
want to do, and the way you could probably justify
1014
00:57:31.179 --> 00:57:32.980
it is to say that, look, if I give someone
1015
00:57:33.019 --> 00:57:39.000
a bag, and the stuff in it works for one disaster,
1016
00:57:40.119 --> 00:57:42.039
then I guess it's worth it, right? I guess you've
1017
00:57:42.079 --> 00:57:46.079
made the right move. But I will caution you, okay?
1018
00:57:46.179 --> 00:57:48.420
That's all I'm doing. I just want to caution you
1019
00:57:48.460 --> 00:57:54.699
so that you know what's really coming your way. What
1020
00:57:54.739 --> 00:57:59.280
you will have to stand behind. And that's all. I
1021
00:57:59.300 --> 00:58:02.440
just want you guys to understand that. I brought it out.
1022
00:58:02.699 --> 00:58:04.780
I made it like it was going to be something incredible.
1023
00:58:05.090 --> 00:58:07.949
It may still be something incredible for you, but the
1024
00:58:07.969 --> 00:58:11.030
reality behind it is what I just explained. So let's
1025
00:58:11.090 --> 00:58:18.389
move on. No more picking on Ready Network. I didn't
1026
00:58:18.429 --> 00:58:22.510
even pursue it. It's another thing that hurts my heart.
1027
00:58:22.530 --> 00:58:25.889
I didn't even pursue the business angle with them. If
1028
00:58:25.909 --> 00:58:27.650
they contact me, I don't know what I'm going to do.
1029
00:58:29.329 --> 00:58:32.050
It's going to be a real tough day. If they
1030
00:58:32.110 --> 00:58:34.190
contact me and they want me to write articles and
1031
00:58:34.250 --> 00:58:36.289
stuff like that and put my name on something, it's
1032
00:58:36.309 --> 00:58:38.260
going to be tough for me. I'm not going to lie.
1033
00:58:39.480 --> 00:58:43.179
I'm probably not going to do it. I may do
1034
00:58:43.260 --> 00:58:47.519
it in a ghostwriting capacity or something like that. That
1035
00:58:50.179 --> 00:58:53.289
was really the only letdown of PrepperCon. Outside of that,
1036
00:58:53.309 --> 00:58:56.510
it was a great time. So it leads me to
1037
00:58:56.550 --> 00:58:59.849
this other question that I have for you guys. And
1038
00:58:59.869 --> 00:59:01.670
for those of you in chat, you can answer now.
1039
00:59:01.750 --> 00:59:04.000
For those of you out there in the listening realm,
1040
00:59:04.420 --> 00:59:05.739
and I know there are a lot of you, and
1041
00:59:05.780 --> 00:59:10.679
I thank you. Send me your answer at IamLibertyShow.com. If
1042
00:59:10.699 --> 00:59:12.739
you get in a ready network and you start making
1043
00:59:12.780 --> 00:59:14.619
money and you prove me wrong and you say, look,
1044
00:59:14.639 --> 00:59:18.199
people love the products, they're using them, please let me know.
1045
00:59:18.800 --> 00:59:22.500
IamLibertyShow at gmail.com. Just send me an email and say, look,
1046
00:59:23.280 --> 00:59:25.679
this stuff works. I don't know how long it's going
1047
00:59:25.699 --> 00:59:28.079
to work, but it's working. And if it's making you
1048
00:59:28.119 --> 00:59:31.340
money and that type of thing, then Maybe I'm wrong, okay?
1049
00:59:31.400 --> 00:59:33.960
I definitely have been wrong probably a lot more than
1050
00:59:33.980 --> 00:59:41.239
I've been right in life. But looking at that ready
1051
00:59:41.280 --> 00:59:45.159
network opportunity led me to another thing, right? Because all
1052
00:59:45.199 --> 00:59:48.139
I do is build bridges from one thought to the other, right?
1053
00:59:48.159 --> 00:59:54.530
That's why my mind is but a tangled web. So
1054
00:59:54.570 --> 00:59:59.420
it brought me to another idea, okay? Right now on
1055
00:59:59.460 --> 01:00:02.739
my website, I'm offering two free reports. I've got a
1056
01:00:02.760 --> 01:00:06.400
report about building community. I've got a little fitness guide
1057
01:00:06.460 --> 01:00:08.570
up there because that fits into the four pillars of
1058
01:00:08.610 --> 01:00:14.510
the I Am Liberty show, right? I'm working. Well, really,
1059
01:00:14.550 --> 01:00:19.309
it's pretty much done. I just haven't created the e-course itself.
1060
01:00:19.550 --> 01:00:23.369
I'm creating a real course and a set of training courses.
1061
01:00:23.820 --> 01:00:27.039
uh trainings on sort of urban self-reliance and how to
1062
01:00:27.079 --> 01:00:29.320
be as urban self-reliant as you can the first one
1063
01:00:29.340 --> 01:00:34.289
that i've completed is on sourcing food in the urban
1064
01:00:34.309 --> 01:00:37.510
environment and how you can sort of change you know
1065
01:00:37.869 --> 01:00:40.030
the percentage of food that you buy from the supermarket
1066
01:00:40.369 --> 01:00:42.070
how do you do that there are many ways to
1067
01:00:42.110 --> 01:00:44.769
do that uh there are some ways that are cost
1068
01:00:44.829 --> 01:00:48.780
effective some ways it costs a lot of money but
1069
01:00:48.800 --> 01:00:51.099
it can be done even in an urban environment in
1070
01:00:51.139 --> 01:00:55.000
most states And I'm working on that thing, and I
1071
01:00:55.039 --> 01:00:56.659
think it's good, and I think we're going to do
1072
01:00:57.460 --> 01:01:01.329
some good stuff through there. But after I left the
1073
01:01:01.369 --> 01:01:04.369
Ready Network table, I began to think to myself, what
1074
01:01:04.429 --> 01:01:08.469
if I put that on pause? Because that's not going anywhere, right?
1075
01:01:08.489 --> 01:01:11.929
It's done. It's fine. What if I put that on pause?
1076
01:01:11.969 --> 01:01:14.840
Instead of going the direction of self-reliance, what if we
1077
01:01:14.880 --> 01:01:23.300
went the direction of business startup, entrepreneurial spirit, or what
1078
01:01:23.340 --> 01:01:28.500
have you? Would you guys be interested in that? You know,
1079
01:01:28.539 --> 01:01:32.800
I think that the Urban Self-Reliance course probably will do well.
1080
01:01:33.409 --> 01:01:35.159
I think a lot of people would be interested in it,
1081
01:01:35.210 --> 01:01:40.389
but I wonder if it would be more helpful if
1082
01:01:40.510 --> 01:01:42.949
I offered up a course on something like starting your
1083
01:01:42.989 --> 01:01:46.050
own business for nearly free. Because I'm going to be
1084
01:01:46.090 --> 01:01:49.670
honest with you, this podcast and this business that I've
1085
01:01:49.710 --> 01:01:55.360
led up to, I have invested... More in the last
1086
01:01:55.500 --> 01:01:59.969
year to two years exponentially than I had in the
1087
01:02:01.090 --> 01:02:02.369
five years previous.
1088
01:02:04.389 --> 01:02:04.570
Right?
1089
01:02:04.590 --> 01:02:06.530
So I was doing most of the same things.
1090
01:02:07.329 --> 01:02:07.489
Right?
1091
01:02:07.550 --> 01:02:12.579
Podcasting, running a blog, taking on sponsors, all that stuff.
1092
01:02:13.360 --> 01:02:17.099
Writing books, selling books. I mean, I did all that
1093
01:02:17.139 --> 01:02:20.079
stuff for about as close to free as you're going
1094
01:02:20.099 --> 01:02:23.059
to get. And I know that's always a big deal
1095
01:02:23.099 --> 01:02:24.800
for people, right? I want to start a business. I
1096
01:02:24.840 --> 01:02:26.639
want to start a thing. I want to do a thing,
1097
01:02:26.679 --> 01:02:29.679
but I don't have any money. I don't have $ 10, 000
1098
01:02:29.079 --> 01:02:33.179
to invest in a startup. Would you guys be interested
1099
01:02:33.260 --> 01:02:40.789
in the nearly free online business plan? You know, I
1100
01:02:40.849 --> 01:02:42.969
think it's something that I'm going to put together. I
1101
01:02:43.030 --> 01:02:44.750
think that's an angle that we're going to take with
1102
01:02:44.869 --> 01:02:50.610
I Am Liberty because I A, I want to make
1103
01:02:50.679 --> 01:02:53.760
content that's effective. B, I want to make sure that
1104
01:02:54.980 --> 01:02:56.920
you come to this show and you come away with
1105
01:02:56.960 --> 01:03:00.239
something from this show, and I think that you can
1106
01:03:00.280 --> 01:03:02.440
come away with something very valuable. If we start to
1107
01:03:02.500 --> 01:03:08.920
move in a broad direction that basically is about entrepreneurship. Now,
1108
01:03:08.980 --> 01:03:10.699
I can only speak to the things that I know of,
1109
01:03:10.739 --> 01:03:14.739
but I think I have a pretty good basis for
1110
01:03:14.780 --> 01:03:16.840
how you can take whatever it is that you do,
1111
01:03:17.539 --> 01:03:24.309
build an audience, Start selling to them. And really, that's
1112
01:03:24.329 --> 01:03:27.449
the big thing. That's the big thing. You have to
1113
01:03:27.510 --> 01:03:29.210
build an audience and figure out what it is you
1114
01:03:29.250 --> 01:03:31.670
want to sell so you can pay the bills, and
1115
01:03:31.690 --> 01:03:36.849
then you do that. And I can also tell you
1116
01:03:36.869 --> 01:03:38.989
about the demographic that wants your money and wants it
1117
01:03:39.030 --> 01:03:41.469
right now. Because there is a demographic out there that
1118
01:03:41.510 --> 01:03:44.449
wants your money, and they want it right now so
1119
01:03:44.489 --> 01:03:50.610
long as you're offering an honest and unique service. So
1120
01:03:50.630 --> 01:03:53.510
if you can offer an honest and unique service, there
1121
01:03:53.550 --> 01:03:59.489
are people out there who literally want to give you money.
1122
01:03:59.929 --> 01:04:04.139
I can promise you that. So again, drop me a line.
1123
01:04:04.159 --> 01:04:07.659
IamLibertyShow at gmail.com. We'll talk about it. Okay.
1124
01:04:10.980 --> 01:04:11.280
Wow.
1125
01:04:12.300 --> 01:04:17.230
That was a lot. Entrepreneur thoughts. I've got a contest winner.
1126
01:04:17.670 --> 01:04:19.539
I've got to find him. I don't think that's going
1127
01:04:19.559 --> 01:04:26.730
to happen right now. How many people are tired of
1128
01:04:26.809 --> 01:04:33.269
watching the media chase their tail over these shootings? On
1129
01:04:33.309 --> 01:04:38.820
the subject of school shootings now. After the last school shooting,
1130
01:04:40.440 --> 01:04:44.260
I couldn't help but think to myself that the media
1131
01:04:44.300 --> 01:04:50.960
resembled like a Jack Russell Terrier. That would perpetually chase
1132
01:04:51.019 --> 01:05:00.300
its tail. Over what? You watch the tail chasing. Gun control,
1133
01:05:00.320 --> 01:05:03.079
gun control, gun control, gun control, gun control. Look at
1134
01:05:03.099 --> 01:05:06.159
my tail, look at my tail, look at my tail.
1135
01:05:07.489 --> 01:05:12.070
And then, you know, there's tail chasing on the other
1136
01:05:12.110 --> 01:05:16.309
side too, right? Tail chasing on the other side is what?
1137
01:05:16.869 --> 01:05:19.670
What's the right side? answer to the gun control thing.
1138
01:05:20.010 --> 01:05:21.929
What is this bump on my shin?
1139
01:05:22.010 --> 01:05:22.289
Whoa.
1140
01:05:24.190 --> 01:05:29.559
What is the rights answer? Does anybody know? When they
1141
01:05:29.619 --> 01:05:32.280
chase their tail, they say things like this. Video games,
1142
01:05:32.320 --> 01:05:35.599
video games, video games, video games, violent TV, violent TV,
1143
01:05:35.599 --> 01:05:41.199
violent TV. I mean, you want my honest opinion on
1144
01:05:41.510 --> 01:05:45.489
the shooting that just happened? This is my honest opinion.
1145
01:05:45.590 --> 01:05:49.059
I don't know these people. I have no idea, you know,
1146
01:05:49.320 --> 01:05:52.860
what their deal is, who they are. Maybe they're good people,
1147
01:05:52.900 --> 01:05:55.019
maybe they weren't. It's hard for me to believe that
1148
01:05:55.039 --> 01:05:56.989
you're paying attention to your kids if they get to
1149
01:05:57.010 --> 01:06:01.929
the point where they stole your guns. Al, you're probably
1150
01:06:01.929 --> 01:06:04.730
100% right. Al says he thinks they're doing it by design.
1151
01:06:08.210 --> 01:06:13.110
This is the deal. This is the deal. If you
1152
01:06:13.150 --> 01:06:20.219
don't lock your guns up, you go to jail. I mean,
1153
01:06:20.239 --> 01:06:24.760
that's it. There is no more. You better be damn
1154
01:06:24.840 --> 01:06:26.739
sure if you're going to let your little teenage son
1155
01:06:26.780 --> 01:06:31.019
get into your guns that you know what he's doing
1156
01:06:31.559 --> 01:06:35.000
and why he's doing. I mean, this is a big deal.
1157
01:06:38.059 --> 01:06:38.260
Right?
1158
01:06:38.300 --> 01:06:45.530
This is a big deal. Because this kid, this kid
1159
01:06:45.590 --> 01:06:48.369
got the guns from his father. Right?
1160
01:06:48.389 --> 01:06:48.570
Right?
1161
01:06:50.059 --> 01:06:53.639
And everybody is back on the same thing. Well, he
1162
01:06:53.679 --> 01:06:56.940
was a video gamer, so you know how that goes.
1163
01:06:58.159 --> 01:07:01.630
You play video games, you're going to kill people, right?
1164
01:07:01.789 --> 01:07:06.489
That's a pretty good equation. I'd like to know the percentage.
1165
01:07:06.510 --> 01:07:09.250
You know how many people play video games in Japan?
1166
01:07:10.769 --> 01:07:14.469
It's pretty much a big deal, right? If you don't know,
1167
01:07:15.570 --> 01:07:21.659
Japan will fill stadiums And I'm not 100% on this number,
1168
01:07:21.699 --> 01:07:24.869
but I'm pretty sure I know it. Japan will fill
1169
01:07:24.969 --> 01:07:32.309
stadiums of up to 70,000 people. Not to play video games.
1170
01:07:33.989 --> 01:07:40.909
To watch dudes play video games. Yes. I said it
1171
01:07:40.969 --> 01:07:44.909
and I meant it. It may be even more than that.
1172
01:07:44.929 --> 01:07:47.650
For some reason, I feel like that's low. But they'll
1173
01:07:47.670 --> 01:07:51.530
fill stadiums with 70,000 people, probably more, to watch other
1174
01:07:51.570 --> 01:07:56.980
people play video games. If we really want to make,
1175
01:07:57.519 --> 01:07:59.380
I mean, if you want to talk about gun control,
1176
01:07:59.420 --> 01:08:01.460
we have to start with put the guns in the safe.
1177
01:08:02.039 --> 01:08:03.920
And if they're not in the safe, then you're going
1178
01:08:03.940 --> 01:08:07.559
to jail. Right? I mean, if your guns aren't in
1179
01:08:07.599 --> 01:08:11.019
your safe, or if you can't control where your gun is.
1180
01:08:11.619 --> 01:08:13.119
I'm not saying it has to be in the safe,
1181
01:08:13.139 --> 01:08:16.609
it can't be anywhere else. I'm saying if you're not
1182
01:08:16.630 --> 01:08:17.869
going to have it on your hip, if you're not
1183
01:08:17.890 --> 01:08:23.210
going to keep an eye on the thing, then it
1184
01:08:23.270 --> 01:08:26.140
has to be in the safe. And the people who
1185
01:08:26.189 --> 01:08:30.199
have access to the safe, you better be damn sure
1186
01:08:30.239 --> 01:08:35.039
about who you're giving access to your safe. That's just
1187
01:08:35.079 --> 01:08:37.340
my opinion on it. Look, I know it's not popular,
1188
01:08:37.479 --> 01:08:42.140
but I'm not here for popular opinion anyway. Immediately that
1189
01:08:42.180 --> 01:08:44.550
came out to me. That immediately came to mind. I
1190
01:08:44.590 --> 01:08:48.529
looked at the situation. I said, how did he get
1191
01:08:48.569 --> 01:08:53.039
the guns? I mean, these guns belong to the dad.
1192
01:08:54.699 --> 01:08:56.279
So how did he get the guns? He either knew
1193
01:08:56.319 --> 01:08:58.220
how to get in the safe or dad left them out.
1194
01:09:00.689 --> 01:09:05.029
That's a huge problem. That's a huge problem. And I
1195
01:09:05.100 --> 01:09:07.859
know if you're a gun owner, if you're in the
1196
01:09:07.899 --> 01:09:13.899
gun community, you might initially be saying to me, whatever,
1197
01:09:14.000 --> 01:09:17.189
whatever you would say, right? I don't know. Whatever name
1198
01:09:17.199 --> 01:09:18.649
you want to call me, whatever you want to say.
1199
01:09:20.159 --> 01:09:28.789
It's a bad idea, whatever, infringement. Listen, sometimes you have
1200
01:09:28.810 --> 01:09:31.859
to look at the future and you have to plan
1201
01:09:31.899 --> 01:09:35.899
for the future or else you'll be ruined in the present.
1202
01:09:37.460 --> 01:09:39.380
And I think the quality of the gun owner in
1203
01:09:39.439 --> 01:09:45.130
America on a whole is good. But I think people...
1204
01:09:46.239 --> 01:09:48.100
Who don't take care of their guns are going to
1205
01:09:48.119 --> 01:09:50.149
be the reason that we have to kill people to
1206
01:09:50.189 --> 01:09:53.850
keep our guns. One day. If we're not careful.
1207
01:09:55.149 --> 01:09:55.350
Right?
1208
01:09:58.229 --> 01:10:02.750
In other words, if we have a percentage of lackadaisical
1209
01:10:02.789 --> 01:10:04.930
gun owners who leave the gun out on the table
1210
01:10:05.010 --> 01:10:07.590
and whatever, you know, the whole thing. I've heard it all.
1211
01:10:08.510 --> 01:10:10.770
I've heard it all. I've heard people tell me that
1212
01:10:13.050 --> 01:10:14.909
I just leave my gun right out on the table.
1213
01:10:16.640 --> 01:10:19.960
My kids know they better not touch it. Yeah, I mean,
1214
01:10:19.979 --> 01:10:23.319
that works when they're six, maybe, if you're lucky. But
1215
01:10:23.359 --> 01:10:26.310
it's not the way you want to do it. It
1216
01:10:26.350 --> 01:10:27.869
is not the way you want to do it. They're
1217
01:10:27.930 --> 01:10:31.210
safes for a reason. If you're not carrying, I mean,
1218
01:10:33.489 --> 01:10:35.430
you've got to keep them safe. It's your job as
1219
01:10:35.489 --> 01:10:38.090
a gun owner. And I think you should carry a
1220
01:10:38.109 --> 01:10:41.649
stiff penalty. Personally, I do.
1221
01:10:42.409 --> 01:10:42.729
Why?
1222
01:10:43.510 --> 01:10:45.869
It's not because I'm coming down on the Second Amendment.
1223
01:10:45.890 --> 01:10:50.520
You guys know I've... I've talked about the Second Amendment
1224
01:10:50.600 --> 01:10:52.899
and the battle that is against it for so many
1225
01:10:52.939 --> 01:10:58.399
years now. It's because every time a dude decides he's
1226
01:10:58.420 --> 01:10:59.880
going to be a big man and he's going to
1227
01:10:59.920 --> 01:11:01.619
leave his guns out of his safe or he's going
1228
01:11:01.640 --> 01:11:03.859
to leave his guns unprotected or he's going to leave
1229
01:11:03.899 --> 01:11:06.039
his guns in arm's reach of a child or a
1230
01:11:06.100 --> 01:11:13.340
teenager or a criminal, then you're loading the barrel for
1231
01:11:13.359 --> 01:11:19.050
the other side, right? Then you're just arming the weapons
1232
01:11:19.109 --> 01:11:20.949
of the other side because they're going to look. I
1233
01:11:20.989 --> 01:11:24.289
told you these people do not need guns. They can't
1234
01:11:24.350 --> 01:11:27.130
even hold them correctly. They can't even protect them. They
1235
01:11:27.149 --> 01:11:29.329
can't keep them away from their children. I told you
1236
01:11:30.100 --> 01:11:33.020
gun ownership in America is flawed. You need only look
1237
01:11:33.060 --> 01:11:38.039
at the statistics. I don't want to hear that. I
1238
01:11:38.079 --> 01:11:40.880
don't want to hear that crap. You know what I mean?
1239
01:11:41.680 --> 01:11:43.140
I don't even want to hear it. I don't even
1240
01:11:43.199 --> 01:11:46.699
want to give them the ammunition to bring that to
1241
01:11:46.720 --> 01:11:52.800
the To the table. And if that means a few
1242
01:11:52.819 --> 01:11:54.680
people have to go to jail for leaving their safe
1243
01:11:54.779 --> 01:11:59.020
open or letting their kids get their guns, hey, sorry.
1244
01:11:59.920 --> 01:12:05.390
You know? Liberty is not a free ride. Freedom comes
1245
01:12:05.430 --> 01:12:10.329
with consequences, folks. You know? That's just the real deal.
1246
01:12:10.850 --> 01:12:14.409
It comes with consequences. If you decide to let your 15,
1247
01:12:14.390 --> 01:12:18.130
16-year-old kid have access to your gun safe and he's
1248
01:12:18.170 --> 01:12:22.729
getting bullied by people, freedom comes with consequences.
1249
01:12:23.460 --> 01:12:23.619
Right?
1250
01:12:23.659 --> 01:12:30.180
That Second Amendment comes with very serious consequences. And I
1251
01:12:30.239 --> 01:12:36.510
like that. I like that. Because that's how you know
1252
01:12:37.310 --> 01:12:40.510
it's a right worth having. It's a right worth fighting for.
1253
01:12:40.569 --> 01:12:44.859
It's a right worth dying for. Because the consequences are deep.
1254
01:12:48.819 --> 01:12:53.060
But the media doesn't get it. Nobody gets it. That's
1255
01:12:53.100 --> 01:12:58.590
the problem, right? It's not even just the media. It's unbelievable.
1256
01:12:59.329 --> 01:13:02.310
They're chasing their tails. Gun control, gun control, gun control.
1257
01:13:03.270 --> 01:13:05.029
All the gun control in the world won't keep a
1258
01:13:05.050 --> 01:13:09.149
dad from leaving his gun out. All the gun control
1259
01:13:09.180 --> 01:13:11.380
in the world won't keep a father who legally owns
1260
01:13:11.439 --> 01:13:18.069
guns from giving his son the combination to the safe,
1261
01:13:18.109 --> 01:13:23.060
or however it went down. And then on the other side,
1262
01:13:23.079 --> 01:13:28.979
they're complaining, right? This is what I don't understand. I mean,
1263
01:13:29.079 --> 01:13:31.300
this is why I don't listen to it. You gotta understand,
1264
01:13:31.340 --> 01:13:35.500
I don't even listen to it. The Sean Hannity's of
1265
01:13:35.520 --> 01:13:38.000
the world, the Fox News's of the world, I don't
1266
01:13:38.020 --> 01:13:40.090
even listen to it. I don't even watch it. I
1267
01:13:40.100 --> 01:13:42.270
don't even have Fox News in my house. You couldn't
1268
01:13:42.289 --> 01:13:44.399
watch it if you wanted to. If you showed up
1269
01:13:44.439 --> 01:13:47.020
and sat on my couch with a TV controller, you
1270
01:13:47.050 --> 01:13:50.550
wouldn't be able to watch CNN or Fox News or
1271
01:13:50.590 --> 01:13:55.729
any of that. I don't listen to the Mark Levins.
1272
01:13:55.829 --> 01:14:00.369
I don't listen to the Sean Hannity's. And the reason
1273
01:14:00.430 --> 01:14:06.770
is because they just don't think enough for me. They
1274
01:14:06.810 --> 01:14:09.100
just don't think enough and they're just not open enough
1275
01:14:09.180 --> 01:14:13.510
to the whole scheme. You know, if you can look
1276
01:14:13.550 --> 01:14:16.949
at an issue as big and as troubling as school
1277
01:14:16.989 --> 01:14:19.270
shootings and you can point the finger at one thing,
1278
01:14:20.270 --> 01:14:24.489
you're an idiot. That's all there is to it. If
1279
01:14:24.529 --> 01:14:29.640
you walk into it, it's like walking into a room
1280
01:14:29.680 --> 01:14:35.140
that's on fire, right? So the whole room is ablaze. Ceiling, walls,
1281
01:14:35.300 --> 01:14:38.439
everything's on fire. And you walk in and you have
1282
01:14:38.479 --> 01:14:42.350
a revelation. And what you do is you go turn
1283
01:14:42.390 --> 01:14:45.909
the sink on. I mean, that's what I see when
1284
01:14:45.949 --> 01:14:49.399
I look at these people. These people who spend more
1285
01:14:49.449 --> 01:14:52.819
time poking fun at the opposite side. They're standing in
1286
01:14:53.119 --> 01:14:55.899
a room that's on fire and their answer is to
1287
01:14:55.939 --> 01:14:59.619
turn the sink on and let it run. It's insane.
1288
01:15:00.899 --> 01:15:05.840
But it's real. It's insane, but it's real and they're
1289
01:15:05.880 --> 01:15:10.510
making millions of dollars. You want to get into some stories?
1290
01:15:10.520 --> 01:15:14.390
Let's get into some stories. I want to get into
1291
01:15:14.409 --> 01:15:18.189
some stories. How about that? I don't want to open Skype.
1292
01:15:20.270 --> 01:15:22.130
So it looks like the NFL, this is not the
1293
01:15:22.170 --> 01:15:23.569
story I want to get into, but it looks like
1294
01:15:23.590 --> 01:15:28.430
the NFL has banned the kneel. Now, of course, this
1295
01:15:28.510 --> 01:15:32.489
story will take precedence over everything. Because this is a
1296
01:15:32.529 --> 01:15:36.760
very important story. But it looks to me like that's real.
1297
01:15:38.869 --> 01:15:43.909
You know what that means, right? That means that the
1298
01:15:43.979 --> 01:15:50.840
ratings plunge, the sales plunge, the tickets plunge, all had
1299
01:15:50.859 --> 01:15:55.119
an effect. It all had an effect at the end
1300
01:15:55.159 --> 01:15:57.699
of the day. At the end of the day, the
1301
01:15:57.819 --> 01:16:01.199
owners had light pockets, right? The wallet was light last
1302
01:16:01.260 --> 01:16:04.100
year because of a bunch of guys who decided to
1303
01:16:04.159 --> 01:16:07.340
kneel to make a point, which I'm not sure if
1304
01:16:07.359 --> 01:16:09.840
the point got acrossed. To the people they wanted to
1305
01:16:09.880 --> 01:16:13.100
get across to. But they attempted to make a point.
1306
01:16:15.359 --> 01:16:20.359
And now it looks like... It looks like the owners
1307
01:16:20.399 --> 01:16:23.289
have said, hell no, we won't go. We want people
1308
01:16:23.329 --> 01:16:28.689
back in the stands. We want people watching again. It
1309
01:16:28.729 --> 01:16:32.939
was nauseating. I mean, I've lost touch with sports big time.
1310
01:16:33.619 --> 01:16:35.420
You know, there was a time in my life where...
1311
01:16:36.439 --> 01:16:39.500
I was way more into Philadelphia sports than I watched everything,
1312
01:16:39.979 --> 01:16:43.520
you know, particularly the Eagles. But I don't have the
1313
01:16:43.560 --> 01:16:46.760
headspace for it anymore, man. I'll be honest with you.
1314
01:16:46.899 --> 01:16:48.779
I just don't have the headspace for it. You know,
1315
01:16:48.840 --> 01:16:52.659
I remember draft day would be the day. I remember
1316
01:16:52.760 --> 01:16:55.779
free agency was like, oh, man, today's free agency. Who
1317
01:16:55.800 --> 01:16:57.220
are we going to get? Who are they going to get?
1318
01:16:57.260 --> 01:17:03.050
Who's going where? You lose the headspace, you know. I'm
1319
01:17:03.069 --> 01:17:06.130
trying to do big things here. And I just don't
1320
01:17:06.149 --> 01:17:09.130
have time to worry about the running back from Atlanta
1321
01:17:09.189 --> 01:17:14.729
and how many yards he got last year. I just
1322
01:17:14.810 --> 01:17:17.170
don't have time for it. I don't have the room
1323
01:17:17.189 --> 01:17:23.390
in the brain for it. The Swedish are prepared with
1324
01:17:23.409 --> 01:17:28.409
this government war prepping guide. Sweden just issued a guide
1325
01:17:28.479 --> 01:17:34.699
on what to do when the SHTF. Yeah. This is real.
1326
01:17:36.560 --> 01:17:40.039
If Crisis or War Comes is the name of the book,
1327
01:17:40.460 --> 01:17:43.689
the little pamphlet from the government. In a step to
1328
01:17:43.710 --> 01:17:46.470
prepare its citizens for war, the Swedish government circulated a
1329
01:17:46.489 --> 01:17:51.329
20-page survival pamphlet detailing the procedures people should undertake if
1330
01:17:51.390 --> 01:17:56.500
war breaks out. These survival guides are a concern for many.
1331
01:17:57.420 --> 01:18:00.609
Of course, right, you get scared. as it is the
1332
01:18:00.630 --> 01:18:02.180
first time in more than half a century that the
1333
01:18:02.220 --> 01:18:04.979
government has made a public announcement campaign on what to
1334
01:18:05.039 --> 01:18:07.479
do if there is a war. But the lethals don't
1335
01:18:07.500 --> 01:18:10.100
just stop there. They cover a lot of other information,
1336
01:18:10.859 --> 01:18:13.859
such as preparing the population for cyber attacks, terror attacks,
1337
01:18:13.899 --> 01:18:18.710
climate change, attempts to influence decision makers, severed transportation lines
1338
01:18:18.770 --> 01:18:28.520
causing food shortages, and all-out urban warfare. Sweden. Powerful move.
1339
01:18:29.920 --> 01:18:34.220
Powerful move. What do you guys think about that? Right? Oh,
1340
01:18:34.420 --> 01:18:39.819
a government preparing the people. What a novel idea. What
1341
01:18:39.840 --> 01:18:44.090
a novel idea. I guess Sweden doesn't have a FEMA, right?
1342
01:18:45.130 --> 01:18:48.590
They don't have a bloated FEMA industry, or agency rather,
1343
01:18:48.609 --> 01:18:50.560
I should say industry, but agencies. is what I mean.
1344
01:18:51.920 --> 01:18:56.819
A bloated FEMA agency that's going to decide, hmm, hmm,
1345
01:18:57.250 --> 01:19:01.189
let's think. Do we want to actually put some money
1346
01:19:02.069 --> 01:19:06.310
into letting these people know that they need to prepare
1347
01:19:06.329 --> 01:19:09.710
for disasters and everything? Or do we want to just
1348
01:19:09.770 --> 01:19:13.149
absorb that extra whatever, however many million dollars it would take?
1349
01:19:14.720 --> 01:19:18.060
And FEMA decides to absorb that, right? They order their meals,
1350
01:19:18.100 --> 01:19:24.239
they order their shelf-stable meals, their coffins, their sanitation. Al
1351
01:19:24.260 --> 01:19:27.960
preparing says the question is why has Sweden done this?
1352
01:19:29.619 --> 01:19:34.979
Nothing occurs in a vacuum. Well, they're in... The first
1353
01:19:35.000 --> 01:19:36.140
thing that comes to mind, I'm not going to say
1354
01:19:36.199 --> 01:19:38.130
I know why because I don't know why, but It's
1355
01:19:38.149 --> 01:19:40.970
a good point. It's a good question. The first thing
1356
01:19:40.989 --> 01:19:45.149
that comes to mind to me is the proximity to
1357
01:19:47.210 --> 01:19:51.970
other nations that are suffering from serious immigrant migration, right?
1358
01:19:53.210 --> 01:19:58.840
You know what I mean? You're dealing with situations in
1359
01:20:02.600 --> 01:20:10.270
that area up there. What is the country? Norwegians? No,
1360
01:20:10.289 --> 01:20:13.239
what am I thinking about? There's a country that's just
1361
01:20:13.300 --> 01:20:18.859
getting destroyed by the radical Muslims. Is it Sweden? Maybe
1362
01:20:18.880 --> 01:20:21.039
it was Sweden. I can't think right now, but.
1363
01:20:24.239 --> 01:20:26.689
One of those countries up there in the Netherlands is
1364
01:20:26.729 --> 01:20:29.550
just getting... And it may be a couple. It may
1365
01:20:29.569 --> 01:20:32.789
be a handful who are dealing with this immigration thing
1366
01:20:32.829 --> 01:20:34.649
in a really bad way, and it's not going good
1367
01:20:34.710 --> 01:20:42.189
for them. But I also think... Why? That's it. Okay, yeah.
1368
01:20:42.210 --> 01:20:44.390
So Sweden has been crowned the rape capital of Europe.
1369
01:20:44.430 --> 01:20:46.989
That's it. So it is Sweden. I had a halo
1370
01:20:47.029 --> 01:20:51.020
over their head because they put this document out. So
1371
01:20:51.060 --> 01:20:53.079
my ego wouldn't allow me to say that, yes, it's
1372
01:20:53.119 --> 01:20:56.180
the same nation that was named the rape capital of Europe.
1373
01:20:57.600 --> 01:20:59.739
I think that's basically what it comes down to. I mean,
1374
01:20:59.779 --> 01:21:02.390
I think that's a very big factor in it, right?
1375
01:21:02.430 --> 01:21:04.670
They looked at the situation their nation was in and
1376
01:21:04.710 --> 01:21:08.579
they said, we could definitely erupt into... And this is
1377
01:21:08.619 --> 01:21:12.750
their quote, not mine. But they definitely have the potential
1378
01:21:12.789 --> 01:21:16.329
to erupt into an all-out urban warfare.
1379
01:21:18.310 --> 01:21:18.670
Hello.
1380
01:21:21.350 --> 01:21:25.220
Hello. This booklet gives no indication as to where the
1381
01:21:25.270 --> 01:21:35.069
threat may come from. But we do know that Sweden
1382
01:21:35.100 --> 01:21:37.479
and other European countries close to Russian borders have been
1383
01:21:37.520 --> 01:21:41.859
on high alert since Russia's persistent involvement in Ukraine. There
1384
01:21:41.880 --> 01:21:44.539
have also been repeated violations of Sweden's airspace by Russian
1385
01:21:44.619 --> 01:21:52.100
fighter pilots. Hmm, that's interesting. Emergency preparedness information, total defense,
1386
01:21:52.159 --> 01:21:58.020
and warning systems are what incites Sweden's war survival guide. Oh,
1387
01:21:58.029 --> 01:22:01.329
can we look at it? Yes, we can. Let's take
1388
01:22:01.369 --> 01:22:08.189
a peek. Let's take a peek. I'll throw this thing
1389
01:22:08.229 --> 01:22:09.810
in the chat room if you guys want to look
1390
01:22:09.869 --> 01:22:19.930
at it as well. Let's have a look-see. If war,
1391
01:22:20.630 --> 01:22:23.229
if crisis or war comes, I love this. You guys,
1392
01:22:23.250 --> 01:22:28.149
this is for the next chapter in my life, but
1393
01:22:28.329 --> 01:22:33.760
I love the idea of just drowning the public in preparedness.
1394
01:22:34.720 --> 01:22:37.659
I really do. I love it. I think it's where
1395
01:22:37.859 --> 01:22:39.909
one of the places, one of the many places where
1396
01:22:39.949 --> 01:22:46.670
we fail as a nation in a big way. So
1397
01:22:46.689 --> 01:22:50.369
we've got table of contents, emergency preparedness, total defense. The
1398
01:22:50.510 --> 01:22:56.149
second chapter in the book is false information. There are
1399
01:22:56.170 --> 01:22:58.890
some Russian links here. What would you do if your
1400
01:22:58.930 --> 01:23:03.409
everyday life was turned upside down? The heat stops working.
1401
01:23:03.449 --> 01:23:06.649
It becomes difficult to prepare and store food. Now, here's
1402
01:23:06.670 --> 01:23:09.210
an interesting thing. The heating stops working.
1403
01:23:10.010 --> 01:23:10.289
Hmm.
1404
01:23:11.750 --> 01:23:17.560
The heating stops working. That's number one. Now, I know
1405
01:23:17.640 --> 01:23:22.979
Belgium and places close to that Eastern Europe area are
1406
01:23:23.020 --> 01:23:30.300
supplied gas by Russia. Right? Does anybody in the chat
1407
01:23:30.319 --> 01:23:34.260
room know if Sweden gets gas from Russia. That's worth
1408
01:23:34.340 --> 01:23:41.319
checking out. Sweden gas from Russia. How much Europe depends
1409
01:23:41.399 --> 01:23:47.079
on Russian energy? Europe wary of proposed Russian natural gas pipelines.
1410
01:23:48.600 --> 01:23:52.060
Nord Stream Pipeline now a bargaining chip in the transatlantic
1411
01:23:52.319 --> 01:23:58.159
trade war. Hmm. Interesting.
1412
01:23:58.159 --> 01:23:59.560
2014.
1413
01:23:59.560 --> 01:24:06.119
That's a little too old. Netherlands. Netherlands, 99 billion in
1414
01:24:06.180 --> 01:24:11.310
energy imports from all countries. Black area represents percentage from Russia.
1415
01:24:11.319 --> 01:24:11.770
Yeah, so.
1416
01:24:14.329 --> 01:24:20.090
So it looks like Sweden... It looks like Sweden is
1417
01:24:20.109 --> 01:24:26.640
dependent about 50%. But it says 46% of their natural
1418
01:24:26.720 --> 01:24:32.590
gas is coming from Russia. 46%. So that's what this
1419
01:24:32.649 --> 01:24:38.260
document is. That's exactly what this document is. No matter
1420
01:24:38.319 --> 01:24:40.739
how you want to look at it, this is what
1421
01:24:40.779 --> 01:24:43.899
happens if Russia goes crazy. Because the first one in here,
1422
01:24:43.939 --> 01:24:49.750
in page four, in page four of this little pamphlet,
1423
01:24:50.649 --> 01:24:53.289
the first thing, in just a short time, your everyday
1424
01:24:53.329 --> 01:25:03.300
life can become problematic. Colon. The heating stops working. Well,
1425
01:25:04.079 --> 01:25:06.079
we all know what happens when the natural gas gets
1426
01:25:06.119 --> 01:25:10.729
cut off by the crazy Russians. Here's another one. It's
1427
01:25:10.770 --> 01:25:15.329
not possible to fill up your car. Public transport and
1428
01:25:15.350 --> 01:25:17.569
other means of transport are at a standstill. It becomes
1429
01:25:17.630 --> 01:25:21.909
difficult to obtain medicines and medical equipment. This is the
1430
01:25:21.949 --> 01:25:24.670
real deal, man. This is very cool. I don't care
1431
01:25:24.710 --> 01:25:28.460
what you say. I'm in love with this. I'm in
1432
01:25:28.520 --> 01:25:30.350
love with this. We should be getting these, man. God,
1433
01:25:31.840 --> 01:25:34.670
we should be getting these. Look at this great home
1434
01:25:34.729 --> 01:25:41.729
preparedness tips here. These people took what American prepper blogs
1435
01:25:41.770 --> 01:25:44.729
are doing and turned it into a document that's going
1436
01:25:44.760 --> 01:25:46.359
to help their kids. I mean, that's going to help
1437
01:25:46.380 --> 01:25:52.039
their citizens. We've got food, water, warmth, communications, and other.
1438
01:25:55.100 --> 01:25:58.060
For food, it says it's important to have extra food
1439
01:25:58.079 --> 01:26:01.329
at home that provides sufficient calories. Use non-perishable food that
1440
01:26:01.350 --> 01:26:04.140
can prepare quickly Requires little water. It can be eaten
1441
01:26:04.159 --> 01:26:08.000
without preparation. Potatoes, cabbage, carrots, eggs. Bread with a long
1442
01:26:08.039 --> 01:26:12.739
shelf life. Cheese spread. Oat milk. Soy milk. Milk powder.
1443
01:26:12.819 --> 01:26:17.180
Cooking oil. Hard cheese. Pre-cooked lentils, beans, vegetables, and tins.
1444
01:26:18.340 --> 01:26:28.649
Tins of bolognese sauce. Mackerel. Sardines. Ravioli. Salmon balls. Boiled meat. Soup. Coffee, tea, chocolate. Water. Bottles.
1445
01:26:28.810 --> 01:26:33.470
Buckets with lids. Plastic bottles to freeze water in. Mineral water,
1446
01:26:34.069 --> 01:26:38.250
jerry cans. Let's see what they have for communications. A
1447
01:26:38.310 --> 01:26:41.670
radio powered by batteries or solar cells. A car radio.
1448
01:26:42.130 --> 01:26:45.649
A list of important telephone numbers. Extra batteries, mobile... I
1449
01:26:45.670 --> 01:26:49.689
feel like I'm reading a prepper block. Cash in small denominations,
1450
01:26:49.750 --> 01:26:52.789
wet wipes. You see, our problem just doesn't want to
1451
01:26:52.810 --> 01:26:55.970
give us the time of day. That's all there is
1452
01:26:56.029 --> 01:26:58.810
to it. I mean, this was written by a prepper,
1453
01:26:58.850 --> 01:27:03.260
let's be honest. I love the warning systems they have, too.
1454
01:27:04.260 --> 01:27:09.039
Signal seven seconds, break 14 seconds. Portman public announcement. Unbroken
1455
01:27:09.119 --> 01:27:13.779
signal for 30 seconds means the danger is over. They've
1456
01:27:13.800 --> 01:27:20.970
got an air raid warning, an emergency alarm. It's a
1457
01:27:20.989 --> 01:27:27.729
beautiful thing. I guess Sweden's had enough, right? They've had enough.
1458
01:27:28.829 --> 01:27:29.090
Wow.
1459
01:27:30.149 --> 01:27:33.569
That's a deep one. They've had enough. They're terrified about
1460
01:27:33.609 --> 01:27:34.850
what could happen with Russia.
1461
01:27:36.489 --> 01:27:36.689
Right?
1462
01:27:37.130 --> 01:27:39.470
Nobody wants to deal with that. I mean, Russia has
1463
01:27:39.510 --> 01:27:42.449
a military. There's no getting around it. They have a
1464
01:27:42.489 --> 01:27:50.500
nuclear military. You know what? It's not likely. It's not
1465
01:27:50.619 --> 01:27:54.619
likely that they get into a nuclear exchange with Russia.
1466
01:27:54.680 --> 01:27:57.979
But what is very likely is that Russia starts bargaining hard.
1467
01:27:59.300 --> 01:28:05.770
And they need to have a game plan. I love that. God. Listen,
1468
01:28:06.590 --> 01:28:08.489
at this juncture in my life, I don't want a boss.
1469
01:28:08.970 --> 01:28:11.090
But at some point, I'm not going to mind having
1470
01:28:11.130 --> 01:28:14.479
a boss again. And I think I'm going to get
1471
01:28:14.520 --> 01:28:18.100
into whatever avenue I need to get into. If it
1472
01:28:18.220 --> 01:28:19.960
is government, then it's going to be government. And I'm
1473
01:28:19.979 --> 01:28:22.359
going to go in there and I'm going to present
1474
01:28:22.399 --> 01:28:25.899
a plan that's going to really, really focus on getting
1475
01:28:25.939 --> 01:28:29.149
this message, that message right there to the people of America.
1476
01:28:30.909 --> 01:28:32.789
That's a big one. That's a big one for me.
1477
01:28:32.829 --> 01:28:35.960
I just don't want to do it right now. So
1478
01:28:36.000 --> 01:28:39.350
let's stay up there. Let's stay up there in the
1479
01:28:39.390 --> 01:28:46.340
world of the... once dominant Viking. Because I have another
1480
01:28:46.380 --> 01:28:48.300
story from Zero Hedge that's going to blow you away.
1481
01:28:49.939 --> 01:28:58.630
The Danish minister, right? The Danish minister now says, it's
1482
01:28:58.729 --> 01:29:07.939
dangerous for all of us. If Muslims work during Ramadan. Yes.
1483
01:29:10.539 --> 01:29:14.239
If Muslims work during Ramadan, then it's a danger to
1484
01:29:14.300 --> 01:29:15.800
all of us. When I saw this headline, I said,
1485
01:29:15.819 --> 01:29:22.840
this is insanity. This can't be real. Let's go to this.
1486
01:29:25.699 --> 01:29:30.029
Her response now seems prophetic. Who is the name of
1487
01:29:30.050 --> 01:29:33.189
the radio host here? Danish Broadcasting Corporation. She created a
1488
01:29:33.229 --> 01:29:37.279
religious news program. The standard for religious analysis. She has
1489
01:29:37.319 --> 01:29:43.180
traveled extensively in the Middle East. Who is she? Ivan Tranholm.
1490
01:29:43.779 --> 01:29:46.399
One of Denmark's most widely read columnists on such matters.
1491
01:29:47.119 --> 01:29:51.810
Was asked if Denmark was on the brink. So a
1492
01:29:51.810 --> 01:29:53.729
year later in an editorial that drew the fury of
1493
01:29:53.770 --> 01:29:56.970
progressives in Denmark, the country's immigration minister said a significant
1494
01:29:56.989 --> 01:30:01.279
group of refugees... cheats, lies, and abuses our trust to
1495
01:30:01.359 --> 01:30:04.779
soak the Danish government for additional benefits or to cheat
1496
01:30:04.850 --> 01:30:10.010
on exams that allow them to receive asylum. According to
1497
01:30:10.029 --> 01:30:13.010
the Inger Stahlberg's editorial, which was published in the Danish
1498
01:30:13.390 --> 01:30:17.770
BT tabloid, thousands of migrants pose as adolescents to receive
1499
01:30:17.789 --> 01:30:20.449
the additional benefits that the state of Denmark bestows on
1500
01:30:20.550 --> 01:30:26.300
unaccompanied minors seeking asylum in the country. However, rather than
1501
01:30:26.359 --> 01:30:31.119
inciting popular demand to have those loopholes closed, the editorial,
1502
01:30:32.439 --> 01:30:37.029
which she also posted on her Facebook page, triggered backlash. Naturally, right? Nowadays.
1503
01:30:38.649 --> 01:30:41.829
And now, less than a month later, Stolzberg has gone
1504
01:30:41.909 --> 01:30:44.529
one step further, calling for Muslims to take time off
1505
01:30:44.609 --> 01:30:47.520
work during the fasting period of Ramadan, saying the practice
1506
01:30:47.579 --> 01:30:53.640
is dangerous for all of us. As the local reports
1507
01:30:53.680 --> 01:30:56.939
the comments from the Immigration and Integration Minister, a member
1508
01:30:56.960 --> 01:31:02.170
of the center-right Liberal Party, come after Ramadan, Islam's revered
1509
01:31:02.250 --> 01:31:04.770
month in which the Muslims around the world fast from
1510
01:31:04.810 --> 01:31:07.970
dawn till dusk. I want to call on Muslims to
1511
01:31:08.029 --> 01:31:10.149
take leave from work during the month of Ramadan to
1512
01:31:10.210 --> 01:31:14.850
avoid negative consequences for the rest of Danish society, Solberg
1513
01:31:14.890 --> 01:31:18.470
wrote in a column for the BT tabloid. I wonder
1514
01:31:18.510 --> 01:31:22.449
if a religious order commanding observance to a 1,400-year-old pillar
1515
01:31:22.470 --> 01:31:26.010
of Islam is compatible with the society and labor market
1516
01:31:26.029 --> 01:31:33.659
that we have in Denmark 2018. Whoa. That's the question, right?
1517
01:31:34.579 --> 01:31:36.119
I mean, when you get down to the core of
1518
01:31:36.159 --> 01:31:40.439
the radical Muslim faith, that's the question. I mean, she
1519
01:31:42.050 --> 01:31:45.760
summed it up perfectly. I wonder if a religious order
1520
01:31:45.800 --> 01:31:49.520
commanding observance to a 1400 year old pillar of Islam
1521
01:31:50.220 --> 01:31:52.939
is compatible with the society and labor market that we
1522
01:31:53.000 --> 01:31:56.479
live in in Denmark in 2018. Isn't that the question?
1523
01:31:57.479 --> 01:32:03.220
When we talk about the Muslim influx, isn't that the question?
1524
01:32:05.699 --> 01:32:08.770
Is this thing compatible with what we're doing in our
1525
01:32:08.819 --> 01:32:12.869
society in the West? And the resounding answer over and
1526
01:32:12.970 --> 01:32:20.050
over again, if you're If you're capable of thinking, if
1527
01:32:20.069 --> 01:32:23.210
you're capable of absorbing the truth and not getting upset,
1528
01:32:25.970 --> 01:32:32.140
you have to understand that that's the deal, right? She
1529
01:32:32.199 --> 01:32:34.920
also said that she heard that fasting could affect safety
1530
01:32:34.960 --> 01:32:38.760
and productivity. Giving as an example, bus drivers who have
1531
01:32:38.800 --> 01:32:41.159
neither had a drink nor eaten for more than 10 hours.
1532
01:32:41.180 --> 01:32:45.479
This can be dangerous for us all, she said. On
1533
01:32:45.539 --> 01:32:49.880
the brink, indeed. Over the last 15 years, the country's
1534
01:32:49.920 --> 01:32:53.140
tightened its immigration policies, insisting that migrants must learn the
1535
01:32:53.199 --> 01:32:55.890
country's customs and language in order to adapt to the
1536
01:32:55.939 --> 01:33:04.350
labor market. Hello. Congress. Sweden's got an idea here. They're
1537
01:33:04.369 --> 01:33:07.649
insisting that their migrants learn the country's customs and language.
1538
01:33:09.310 --> 01:33:11.029
I mean, come on. Can we at least get that?
1539
01:33:12.119 --> 01:33:14.560
Can we at least get the Swedish model? I want
1540
01:33:14.600 --> 01:33:23.279
the Swedish model. Let's close this thing out. Now I'm
1541
01:33:23.300 --> 01:33:27.069
getting political cartoons. I mean, not cartoons. No, they might
1542
01:33:27.090 --> 01:33:32.909
as well be cartoons. Political advertisements. Al Preparing says, The
1543
01:33:32.949 --> 01:33:35.149
work is not the issue. It's a clash of cultures
1544
01:33:35.170 --> 01:33:36.729
with those in power willing to give in for the
1545
01:33:36.789 --> 01:33:41.560
smallest benefit. Oh man, I fear when these things come
1546
01:33:41.600 --> 01:33:47.449
to a head. Truly. I fear when these things come
1547
01:33:47.510 --> 01:33:49.609
to a head. Because they will come to a head.
1548
01:33:54.729 --> 01:33:57.310
ZTA3 asks if they will still get paid even though
1549
01:33:57.329 --> 01:34:00.189
they're taking off. Or even though the woman is proposing
1550
01:34:00.229 --> 01:34:04.130
that they take off. It's not necessarily... The story does
1551
01:34:04.189 --> 01:34:09.289
not necessarily state that the Muslim population wants off for Ramadan.
1552
01:34:11.439 --> 01:34:17.020
The writer, the reporter is saying, take off. Because we
1553
01:34:17.060 --> 01:34:20.920
don't want the risk. That's what she's saying. And then
1554
01:34:20.960 --> 01:34:28.670
she's bringing to the table the incompatibility of the cultures. And,
1555
01:34:28.689 --> 01:34:30.329
you know, it's hard to ignore it. It's hard to
1556
01:34:30.369 --> 01:34:34.250
not say she's on to something. If you're not afraid.
1557
01:34:34.270 --> 01:34:36.670
There's a lot of people out there who are afraid
1558
01:34:36.689 --> 01:34:42.579
to even utter it. Right? Because it's so scary. It's
1559
01:34:42.619 --> 01:34:47.319
so scary what could happen. If you say something like,
1560
01:34:47.380 --> 01:34:51.239
maybe we should think about the fact that the most
1561
01:34:51.359 --> 01:34:55.970
radical Muslims are not compatible with our Western society and
1562
01:34:56.949 --> 01:35:02.590
everything that has built the nation. I'll never forget that
1563
01:35:02.649 --> 01:35:05.699
time when Barack said that, remember when Barack said that
1564
01:35:07.720 --> 01:35:11.000
it was Muslims, Muslims were part of building this nation
1565
01:35:11.039 --> 01:35:15.520
or something to that effect? Man, people went crazy. That
1566
01:35:15.539 --> 01:35:17.439
was one of those wild ones where everybody was like,
1567
01:35:17.560 --> 01:35:24.520
what is going on? We validate your culture at the
1568
01:35:24.560 --> 01:35:27.739
expense of our own for the sake of keeping the peace. Quote, unquote,
1569
01:35:27.779 --> 01:35:33.140
keeping the peace. Well said, Al. Well said. What else
1570
01:35:33.180 --> 01:35:35.020
do we got? Do we got anything else here? Let
1571
01:35:35.060 --> 01:35:36.659
me go up to the I Am Liberty Show website
1572
01:35:36.680 --> 01:35:41.239
before we call it. IAmLibertyShow.com. Sorry the guest was so
1573
01:35:41.319 --> 01:35:43.899
short tonight. It just so happened that, you know, that's
1574
01:35:43.939 --> 01:35:46.020
how things go. He's releasing a book any day now.
1575
01:35:47.430 --> 01:35:50.069
I've got a new show up, not relatively new, about
1576
01:35:50.529 --> 01:35:54.270
dead Palestinians, building your web, and cross-country prepping. That was
1577
01:35:54.310 --> 01:35:57.390
a pretty good one. I've got a picture of the
1578
01:35:57.510 --> 01:36:02.270
MHA Bushcrafter up on my website now. It's up there
1579
01:36:02.649 --> 01:36:05.229
above the Colga Silver, so you can go check those
1580
01:36:05.289 --> 01:36:07.390
two things out if you're interested in those and you
1581
01:36:07.409 --> 01:36:09.550
want to see, you know, links to websites, that type
1582
01:36:09.630 --> 01:36:15.060
of thing. Listen, guys, I've been getting writings from people. Al,
1583
01:36:15.100 --> 01:36:16.819
thanks so much. I haven't read yours yet, but I'm
1584
01:36:16.840 --> 01:36:20.340
going to get into it tomorrow. If you're interested in
1585
01:36:20.380 --> 01:36:24.739
writing for the I Am Liberty Show website, if you
1586
01:36:24.779 --> 01:36:26.840
just have something you want to get off your chest
1587
01:36:27.079 --> 01:36:31.039
and you want there to be an audience to read it,
1588
01:36:32.479 --> 01:36:35.479
I've been there, man. I was there. That's why I
1589
01:36:35.539 --> 01:36:39.079
started a blog. Because I had stuff on my chest
1590
01:36:39.140 --> 01:36:41.319
and I had ideas and things like that. And I said,
1591
01:36:41.350 --> 01:36:44.430
you know, I got to get this stuff out. And
1592
01:36:44.449 --> 01:36:46.470
for years I got it out to about 10 people.
1593
01:36:48.170 --> 01:36:51.430
You know, but it felt good. You know, I remember
1594
01:36:51.470 --> 01:36:55.649
doing this podcast when it would get five downloads. Not
1595
01:36:55.689 --> 01:36:57.680
this one in particular, but my first one. Doing the
1596
01:36:57.800 --> 01:37:01.979
I Am Liberty show. But I can't tell you how
1597
01:37:02.039 --> 01:37:05.500
good it felt. Because I'd turn the mic off and
1598
01:37:05.539 --> 01:37:08.789
I'd say, man. Just this weight would be lifted off me.
1599
01:37:10.869 --> 01:37:12.289
So if you have something you want to write about
1600
01:37:12.310 --> 01:37:15.310
and you don't have a place to put it, then
1601
01:37:15.350 --> 01:37:18.869
just contact me. Contact me. I've got a sheet at
1602
01:37:18.890 --> 01:37:21.489
the bottom of the website. You just put your name, email, subject.
1603
01:37:21.529 --> 01:37:23.810
Tell me what you want to write about. As long
1604
01:37:23.829 --> 01:37:26.869
as it's not terrible, we're going to post it. As
1605
01:37:26.909 --> 01:37:31.189
long as it's not something that's going to call into
1606
01:37:31.270 --> 01:37:33.359
question what the I Am Liberty show is about. Here's
1607
01:37:33.399 --> 01:37:39.909
my only guidelines. My only guideline is strong communities, healthy Americans,
1608
01:37:40.130 --> 01:37:43.430
dynamic lifestyles, and self-sufficiency. If you use one of those
1609
01:37:43.510 --> 01:37:45.170
four pillars, there's a good chance it's going to get
1610
01:37:45.229 --> 01:37:50.489
put up. I mean, that's just how it goes. All right,
1611
01:37:50.529 --> 01:37:52.569
let's do a little shameless promotion and then I'm out
1612
01:37:52.590 --> 01:37:55.350
of here. I'm getting tired. The eyes are getting heavy.
1613
01:37:56.260 --> 01:37:58.840
I don't have much more value to add to your evening.
1614
01:37:59.420 --> 01:38:04.319
I've covered everything on my list here. The contest winner
1615
01:38:04.359 --> 01:38:07.800
will be contacted before the end of the week. I'm
1616
01:38:07.819 --> 01:38:09.720
not exactly sure how to find out who the winner
1617
01:38:09.819 --> 01:38:12.319
is because it's the first time I use this software.
1618
01:38:14.060 --> 01:38:17.189
So the Liberty Gazette is the newsletter, the Liberty Gazette.
1619
01:38:17.310 --> 01:38:19.670
You can sign up for it at the website, right?
1620
01:38:19.989 --> 01:38:24.729
Completely free, whatever. You get about three to four a month.
1621
01:38:24.850 --> 01:38:26.750
I'm trying to do one a week. I started doing
1622
01:38:26.829 --> 01:38:28.770
one every two weeks, but I'm trying to do one
1623
01:38:28.789 --> 01:38:31.659
a week now that I have a decent list growing
1624
01:38:33.899 --> 01:38:36.229
i'd love for you to join the newsletter all right
1625
01:38:36.350 --> 01:38:39.470
all of these giveaways are going to be highlighted in
1626
01:38:39.510 --> 01:38:41.470
the newsletter so if you join up then you get
1627
01:38:41.649 --> 01:38:44.229
you're going to get much more information about them than
1628
01:38:44.270 --> 01:38:48.449
just the dopey host saying, we're doing a giveaway. I
1629
01:38:48.520 --> 01:38:51.100
forget what it is, but it's cool. I'll put a
1630
01:38:51.159 --> 01:38:52.739
link in the chat room so you can go sign up.
1631
01:38:52.779 --> 01:38:55.119
Don't go through all that. Sign up for the newsletter.
1632
01:38:55.140 --> 01:38:58.199
The giveaways will come in the newsletter. There's going to
1633
01:38:58.239 --> 01:38:59.359
be a lot of them and there's going to be
1634
01:38:59.380 --> 01:39:02.289
a lot of cool ones because I've only got so
1635
01:39:02.310 --> 01:39:06.989
much space. I don't have a big house. Eventually, I'm
1636
01:39:07.010 --> 01:39:11.149
going to be overflowing with gear and there's One group
1637
01:39:11.189 --> 01:39:13.029
of people that I want to have that gear for free,
1638
01:39:13.069 --> 01:39:22.649
and it's you guys listening. Social media stuff, facebook.com slash IamLibertyShow.
1639
01:39:22.689 --> 01:39:26.659
You can follow me on Twitter at IamLibertyShow. If you
1640
01:39:26.739 --> 01:39:30.020
haven't gone to the website and taken on these free reports,
1641
01:39:30.340 --> 01:39:33.920
please do it. I got new landing pages from MailChimp.
1642
01:39:33.939 --> 01:39:39.199
They look great. They work well. Keys to Building Community,
1643
01:39:39.239 --> 01:39:41.560
the 10-page report, and Learn the Basics of How to
1644
01:39:41.600 --> 01:39:45.739
Start a Community Garden and Bring Your Neighborhood Together. I mean,
1645
01:39:45.779 --> 01:39:49.159
these things, as silly as they sound, they make a
1646
01:39:49.199 --> 01:39:56.199
huge difference, okay? Never forget, we talk about prepping, right?
1647
01:39:56.239 --> 01:39:59.060
We talk about school shootings. We talk about Second Amendment.
1648
01:39:59.100 --> 01:40:02.100
We talk about a lot of things that fit a
1649
01:40:02.189 --> 01:40:06.529
certain mold, right? They fit a certain kind of mold.
1650
01:40:08.899 --> 01:40:12.750
But never forget that the I Am Liberty show is
1651
01:40:12.829 --> 01:40:17.289
way outside of a mold. It's way outside. I don't
1652
01:40:17.310 --> 01:40:18.970
have a bunch of people that I sit around a
1653
01:40:19.029 --> 01:40:21.210
conference room with and say, what are we going to
1654
01:40:21.250 --> 01:40:22.189
talk about this week, Jims?
1655
01:40:22.430 --> 01:40:22.750
You know what?
1656
01:40:22.949 --> 01:40:24.600
I want you to get behind this idea. I want
1657
01:40:24.609 --> 01:40:26.420
you to talk about this. We need to stay within
1658
01:40:27.100 --> 01:40:30.460
these parameters in order to focus our demographic and make
1659
01:40:30.500 --> 01:40:32.300
sure that we're touching on the right amount of people
1660
01:40:32.720 --> 01:40:35.569
and the right type of people. Because the people in
1661
01:40:35.609 --> 01:40:37.569
the prepper demographic are this age to this age. I
1662
01:40:37.590 --> 01:40:40.449
don't care. The podcast is always going to come the
1663
01:40:40.489 --> 01:40:43.210
way it comes. Who I hook is who I hook.
1664
01:40:45.369 --> 01:40:46.930
So that means we're going to talk about the things
1665
01:40:46.949 --> 01:40:48.489
that I want to talk about. But we're always going
1666
01:40:48.520 --> 01:40:51.140
to focus on the four pillars of the I Am
1667
01:40:51.159 --> 01:40:55.560
Liberty show. And we'll go beyond that even. You're always
1668
01:40:55.579 --> 01:41:00.140
going to get my real opinion. Even in these reviews,
1669
01:41:01.100 --> 01:41:06.220
you're going to get my real opinion. Outside of that,
1670
01:41:08.819 --> 01:41:10.899
I don't know outside of that. Outside of that, I
1671
01:41:10.939 --> 01:41:13.600
think it's time to go to bed. It's been a
1672
01:41:13.659 --> 01:41:19.300
rough week. I'm playing catch-up. Because my flight from Utah
1673
01:41:20.859 --> 01:41:26.550
was from 11.30 p.m. to 6.30 a.m. And there was
1674
01:41:26.590 --> 01:41:28.689
no sleep to be had. I wound up watching The
1675
01:41:28.729 --> 01:41:31.369
Phantom Thread, but I only got through about a half
1676
01:41:31.409 --> 01:41:32.590
of it. But it was so good.
1677
01:41:33.829 --> 01:41:33.989
Cool.
1678
01:41:35.039 --> 01:41:41.010
Daniel Day-Lewis is unbelievable. But anyway, I get on my
1679
01:41:41.050 --> 01:41:44.369
next flight from 9.30 to 11 back to Richmond. And,
1680
01:41:44.989 --> 01:41:48.909
you know, I've been playing catch-up ever since. So I
1681
01:41:48.989 --> 01:41:51.989
thank you. I hope you guys enjoyed the guest. Please
1682
01:41:52.050 --> 01:41:55.609
check out thesecuredag.com. You're going to love it. I'm telling you,
1683
01:41:55.630 --> 01:41:59.880
I wasn't buttering this guy's toast. It's a great site.
1684
01:41:59.939 --> 01:42:03.279
The content is great. And it's because the dude is passionate.
1685
01:42:04.090 --> 01:42:08.630
You know, it's just like this. I'm no professional prepper.
1686
01:42:08.670 --> 01:42:11.850
I'm no ex-military. I have no background in this stuff.
1687
01:42:12.729 --> 01:42:15.270
But I've been into it for years. And now I
1688
01:42:15.310 --> 01:42:19.189
get deeper into it. You know what I mean? I
1689
01:42:19.229 --> 01:42:21.689
get deeper and deeper into it as time goes on.
1690
01:42:21.729 --> 01:42:23.729
Now that I write in the genre, I'm always in it.
1691
01:42:25.350 --> 01:42:30.149
And things are constantly improving. And, you know, that's the deal.
1692
01:42:31.970 --> 01:42:39.520
That's the deal. We're living in a time... Where Dutchman says,
1693
01:42:39.560 --> 01:42:45.350
you're young, suck it up, cupcake. You're right. I mean,
1694
01:42:45.359 --> 01:42:49.130
you are right. If I had to, it wouldn't be
1695
01:42:49.149 --> 01:42:53.029
a problem. Let me make that clear. If I had to,
1696
01:42:53.069 --> 01:42:55.149
it wouldn't be a problem. But I don't have to.
1697
01:42:56.050 --> 01:42:58.890
So I'm not going to struggle through another day without sleep.
1698
01:43:00.949 --> 01:43:05.250
But that's funny, and I do appreciate that, Dutchman. But
1699
01:43:05.270 --> 01:43:08.229
we're looking at, this is what we're looking at, a
1700
01:43:08.350 --> 01:43:12.029
new time in America where people who are smart and
1701
01:43:12.149 --> 01:43:15.050
savvy and passionate are going to figure out how to
1702
01:43:15.069 --> 01:43:17.670
make a living doing what they want, despite what they've
1703
01:43:17.710 --> 01:43:19.770
been trained to do, despite what they went to school
1704
01:43:19.810 --> 01:43:24.399
to do, despite what they're supposed to be doing. And
1705
01:43:24.479 --> 01:43:27.500
I'm an example of that. And Andy's an example of that.
1706
01:43:27.619 --> 01:43:29.479
And I'm sure there's people out there listening to this
1707
01:43:29.560 --> 01:43:33.270
show who are an example of that. And if it
1708
01:43:33.350 --> 01:43:35.390
looks like you guys want to learn about that kind
1709
01:43:35.409 --> 01:43:38.090
of stuff, we can go and learn about that. I mean,
1710
01:43:38.109 --> 01:43:40.069
that can become a part of this show. I can
1711
01:43:40.109 --> 01:43:44.090
provide you with all sorts of ideas and content and trainings,
1712
01:43:44.430 --> 01:43:48.869
exactly how you decide. One day, I want to make
1713
01:43:49.069 --> 01:43:52.829
wood cabinets. I like to woodwork. I don't like to
1714
01:43:52.890 --> 01:43:57.140
sell insurance. I like to make wooden cabinets. And that's
1715
01:43:57.149 --> 01:44:00.819
what I want to do. There's a way. There is
1716
01:44:00.859 --> 01:44:05.340
a way. And we'll talk about it. What are we
1717
01:44:05.359 --> 01:44:07.960
doing next week? Next week we have the guys from
1718
01:44:08.039 --> 01:44:11.619
Bunker Days on. I forgot. Yeah, those are the guys
1719
01:44:11.640 --> 01:44:13.380
who got me out to prep or con to begin with.
1720
01:44:16.279 --> 01:44:19.500
I brought Bunker Days up, but I don't think I
1721
01:44:19.520 --> 01:44:20.840
ever had them on the show yet. They're going to
1722
01:44:20.859 --> 01:44:23.220
be on next week. We're going to talk about social media.
1723
01:44:23.239 --> 01:44:25.159
We're going to talk about what Bunker Days can do
1724
01:44:25.239 --> 01:44:29.770
for you because it's awesome. Bunker Days is an awesome
1725
01:44:29.810 --> 01:44:32.590
community that's going to take shape probably within the next year.
1726
01:44:33.350 --> 01:44:38.789
It's an online community for preppers, survivalists, self-reliant people in general.
1727
01:44:40.270 --> 01:44:45.569
You hang out in little places called bunkers. And the
1728
01:44:45.630 --> 01:44:50.510
various bunkers are named after different types of criteria and
1729
01:44:50.590 --> 01:44:54.710
topics within the prepping game. And you share information. You
1730
01:44:54.750 --> 01:44:58.899
share stories. You post videos. It's essentially like social media,
1731
01:44:58.939 --> 01:45:04.100
but there are more things and more benefits to joining. Currently,
1732
01:45:04.119 --> 01:45:06.140
it's free to join. I think it's going to be
1733
01:45:06.220 --> 01:45:10.119
free for quite a long time. They have an awesome
1734
01:45:10.319 --> 01:45:15.039
online inventory system. And I'll be honest with you, and
1735
01:45:15.060 --> 01:45:17.399
this is what I'll leave you with. When I read
1736
01:45:17.439 --> 01:45:19.640
that they have an online inventory system, I said, nobody's
1737
01:45:19.659 --> 01:45:21.439
going to buy that. I'm not putting my stuff on
1738
01:45:21.479 --> 01:45:24.079
your online inventory system. I don't like the sound of it.
1739
01:45:25.100 --> 01:45:30.350
That's just one of many benefits that they have. The
1740
01:45:30.390 --> 01:45:33.630
response I got from one of the men at Bunker Days,
1741
01:45:35.689 --> 01:45:39.000
one of the owners, blew my mind. And I want
1742
01:45:39.039 --> 01:45:40.140
you to hear it, and I want you to hear
1743
01:45:40.159 --> 01:45:43.300
it from his lips next week. Okay? Because it's going
1744
01:45:43.319 --> 01:45:47.239
to change your mind about what you think. Or it's
1745
01:45:47.340 --> 01:45:51.600
really going to make you think differently about OPSEC, right?
1746
01:45:51.680 --> 01:45:55.369
About operational security and how good a job you think
1747
01:45:55.390 --> 01:46:00.840
you're doing. All right? So let's... Get together again in
1748
01:46:00.859 --> 01:46:07.689
a week and have ourselves a show. Until then, it's
1749
01:46:08.310 --> 01:46:11.550
James Walton with the I Am Liberty show. See you
1750
01:46:11.590 --> 01:46:11.930
next time.
1751
01:46:15.930 --> 01:46:17.909
I Am Liberty.
1752
01:46:31.039 --> 01:46:31.710
Thank you.
1753
01:47:00.979 --> 01:47:04.170
Today's broadcast has come to you through the courtesy of
